00:02:01 #1 I brought you food.

00:02:02 #2 What are they getting to?

00:02:08 #3 And if we get caught, don't go making up any stories that I did.

00:02:12 #4 I'm in enough trouble as it is with you and your kid.

00:02:17 #5 You want me to go back, Sam?

00:02:20 #6 Shut up, and you'll be looking for me?

00:02:24 #7 Your aunt's got every cop in Iverstown keeping two keyholes.

00:02:27 #8 You won't let them find me.

00:02:29 #9 You always come running on me.

00:02:30 #10 Nobody else to run to, Sam.

00:02:36 #11 The circus is leaving town tonight.

00:02:38 #12 Their train will go right through here.

00:02:40 #13 When it does, you just follow me.

00:02:42 #14 You run with all your might when you grab on, grab tight.

00:02:45 #15 Don't you worry about me, Sam.

00:02:46 #16 Unless you got wanger, call me.

00:03:01 #17 All right, Martha, let's go.

00:03:02 #18 Will you jump?

00:03:22 #19 All right, miss.

00:03:23 #20 We'll take you home to your aunt.

00:03:40 #21 Mr. O'Neal to see you, ma'am.

00:03:42 #22 Share him in.

00:03:48 #23 Mrs. Ivers will see you now.

00:03:57 #24 Good evening, Mrs. Ivers.

00:03:58 #25 Good evening.

00:04:00 #26 Good evening, Mrs. Ivers.

00:04:01 #27 I have good news. Martha.

00:04:03 #28 What about her?

00:04:05 #29 Martha has been found.

00:04:06 #30 I know.

00:04:08 #31 Well, it was Walter who was really responsible

00:04:10 #32 for Martha being found.

00:04:11 #33 He told the police where she and that boy,

00:04:13 #34 Sam Masterson usually go.

00:04:16 #35 Isn't that so, Walter?

00:04:17 #36 Yes, Father.

00:04:20 #37 The boy will be rewarded.

00:04:22 #38 Well, he's a good boy.

00:04:24 #39 And he's bright.

00:04:25 #40 If I could afford it, I'd send him...

00:04:26 #41 Send him to a school like Harvard.

00:04:29 #42 I guess I've mentioned it before.

00:04:30 #43 Many times.

00:04:34 #44 Yes, madam.

00:04:35 #45 Take the boy to the kitchen, Lynch.

00:04:37 #46 Give him some ice cream.

00:04:38 #47 You may give him a piece of cake too.

00:04:41 #48 Go along.

00:04:42 #49 Miss Tank, Mrs. Ivers, what?

00:04:44 #50 Thank you, Mrs. Ivers.

00:04:51 #51 You've lost your pupil, Mr. O'Neill.

00:04:54 #52 I'm sending her away.

00:04:55 #53 I know why you offered to tutor Martha.

00:04:58 #54 I know why you made Walter do his daily lessons with her.

00:05:01 #55 I know why you want him to live here.

00:05:03 #56 A scholarship for Walter, that's why.

00:05:06 #57 But I'm not a foundation, Mr. O'Neill.

00:05:07 #58 I don't care whether Walter drives a truck

00:05:10 #59 or goes to Harvard.

00:05:11 #60 Probably be a lot happier driving a truck.

00:05:18 #61 You are expected, Miss.

00:05:21 #62 Oh, just a minute, Miss.

00:05:24 #63 The name's Laundine.

00:05:25 #64 You'll tell Mrs. Ivers the name of the detective

00:05:27 #65 of Correra's Laundine.

00:05:29 #66 I'll tell her.

00:05:36 #67 I'll take your furs, Miss. Now.

00:05:39 #68 You'd better, Miss.

00:05:39 #69 You know how she feels about that cat.

00:05:42 #70 I'll bring it up to your room.

00:05:50 #71 Your aunt is waiting for you.

00:06:07 #72 Come closer, Martha.

00:06:15 #73 Closer, Martha.

00:06:26 #74 Look at me.

00:06:32 #75 You don't seem very sorry.

00:06:34 #76 I am.

00:06:36 #77 I'm sorry I was caught.

00:06:40 #78 No matter what you do, I won't cry.

00:06:43 #79 This is the fourth time you've tried to run away.

00:06:46 #80 Each time you were brought back here, no matter how far you got,

00:06:49 #81 you were brought back here.

00:06:50 #82 You don't own the whole world.

00:06:52 #83 Enough of it to make sure that you'll always be brought back here.

00:06:56 #84 Do you understand that? Do you understand that?

00:07:02 #85 Your aunt doesn't deserve such an attitude, Martha.

00:07:04 #86 There aren't many women who'd be as patient and as kind.

00:07:07 #87 And there aren't many little girls who'd be as ungrateful.

00:07:10 #88 When will you understand that I'm doing all this for you?

00:07:13 #89 That I'm trying to wash the dirt and grime off you,

00:07:16 #90 making Ivers out of you again?

00:07:18 #91 My name is Smith. The same as my father's.

00:07:21 #92 Your name is Ivers. I've had it changed legally.

00:07:24 #93 I don't care what you've done.

00:07:26 #94 Your name is Ivers the same as your mother's was

00:07:28 #95 before she was stupid enough to marry...

00:07:30 #96 Shut up! Shut up! How dare you!

00:07:32 #97 You've still got his foul mouth.

00:07:36 #98 I won't let you talk that way about my father.

00:07:38 #99 Your father was a nobody, a mill hand.

00:07:39 #100 The best thing he ever did for you was to die.

00:07:42 #101 Kill you! Kill you!

00:07:44 #102 Stop! Stop!

00:07:46 #103 It's all right, Mr. O'Neill.

00:07:51 #104 Go up to your room and get into some dry clothes.

00:07:53 #105 After you had dinner, I want to have a talk with you.

00:07:55 #106 It's late, I'll go get my son. Good night.

00:08:09 #107 Stay. I'm upset. I want someone to talk to.

00:08:14 #108 Yes, Mrs. Thomas.

00:08:15 #109 Lynch told me to sneak bundles to you.

00:08:20 #110 I thought you'd be hungry, so I sneaked the milk, too.

00:08:23 #111 She hates cats.

00:08:29 #112 She hates everything I like.

00:08:31 #113 A policeman came to my house this morning.

00:08:34 #114 He asked me if I had any idea of where you could have gone.

00:08:37 #115 My father said it was my duty to tell them.

00:08:40 #116 Your father?

00:08:41 #117 I didn't say a thing.

00:08:44 #118 No matter what my father told your aunt,

00:08:46 #119 I didn't say a thing.

00:08:48 #120 I'm cold.

00:08:49 #121 I've got to change my clothes.

00:08:50 #122 I'll leave the door open so I can hear you.

00:08:52 #123 My father says you're foolish.

00:08:56 #124 My father says that someday you'll have everything in the world.

00:09:00 #125 My father says that if we only had one little part of what you'll have,

00:09:04 #126 I could go to Harvard.

00:09:06 #127 You're what?

00:09:07 #128 You stand still. I'll do it.

00:09:20 #129 Don't you think I'd better go up and see if Martha's all right?

00:09:43 #130 Martha will be all right anywhere.

00:09:45 #131 Your play.

00:09:46 #132 Pray to the thunder and lightning.

00:09:52 #133 Draw the curtains.

00:09:53 #134 I'll go into change.

00:09:54 #135 Peep out of you and I'll break your nose.

00:10:13 #136 I won't say anything. Martha!

00:10:15 #137 Martha will tell you I won't say anything.

00:10:17 #138 You sea-balled right-totally, they'd never catch him.

00:10:24 #139 Sam, but me on.

00:10:26 #140 I came to say goodbye. I thought it over, Martha.

00:10:28 #141 It's better for you here.

00:10:30 #142 I won't stay here. I hate her.

00:10:32 #143 All you gotta do is play smart with her.

00:10:34 #144 I'm going with you. Now you listen to me.

00:10:36 #145 I don't want to listen. It's late.

00:10:38 #146 I gotta go. Let him go, Martha.

00:10:40 #147 If he's caught here, he'll be sent to reform school.

00:10:42 #148 Mrs. Ivers said so.

00:10:44 #149 They gotta catch me first.

00:10:46 #150 All right, Sam.

00:10:47 #151 If you won't take me, I'll go without you.

00:10:50 #152 I'll go off by myself.

00:10:52 #153 Okay, and let's go.

00:10:56 #154 I want to run up to the attic. I want to get a couple of things.

00:10:58 #155 Hurry, Sam.

00:11:51 #156 I've got Dorie left. See? It's open.

00:13:33 #157 She was lying there.

00:13:42 #158 This. This was lying there, too.

00:13:44 #159 I picked it up.

00:13:45 #160 Is it, Mother?

00:13:59 #161 Yes, Father. It is.

00:14:01 #162 Put it down. Exactly where you found it.

00:14:07 #163 I'll go upstairs.

00:14:18 #164 I'll phone the police.

00:14:20 #165 You'll never get away with it.

00:14:35 #166 Never.

00:14:36 #167 Your father believes me.

00:14:37 #168 I don't know.

00:14:38 #169 I'm not sure.

00:14:39 #170 Keep your mouth shut.

00:14:40 #171 But Sam, what about Sam?

00:14:41 #172 He was in the house he sought.

00:14:43 #173 Sam will never tell me.

00:14:44 #174 Yes, he will.

00:14:45 #175 He's scared.

00:14:46 #176 That's why he ran away after it happened.

00:14:47 #177 Sam will never tell me.

00:14:48 #178 Sam's scared.

00:14:49 #179 He ran away.

00:14:50 #180 I didn't.

00:14:51 #181 I stayed.

00:14:52 #182 No, no, he won't.

00:14:53 #183 Not Sam.

00:15:07 #184 I want to talk to you both.

00:15:10 #185 It's done.

00:15:17 #186 Now, when the police come, you will tell them exactly what you told me.

00:15:22 #187 Do you understand, Mother?

00:15:24 #188 Yes, Mr. O'Neill.

00:15:26 #189 And you, too, Walter?

00:15:28 #190 Yes, Father.

00:15:29 #191 You poor child.

00:15:35 #192 You'll be all alone in the world, except for Walter and my student.

00:15:45 #193 You needn't be afraid.

00:15:46 #194 We'll always be with you, Walter and I.

00:15:49 #195 We'll never leave you.

00:15:53 #196 Mr. O'Neill.

00:15:54 #197 Handicap, Chestnut King looks like an aunt's aunt favorite.

00:16:36 #198 That guy doesn't know what he's talking about, Chestnut King's a dog.

00:16:40 #199 He was losing racist to cowpone his years ago in Tijuana.

00:16:43 #200 Well, what do you know?

00:16:48 #201 What do you know about that?

00:16:49 #202 How do you like that, Sailor?

00:16:51 #203 Leave a place when you're a kid maybe 17, 18 years ago

00:16:55 #204 and you forget all about it.

00:16:56 #205 And all of a sudden you're driving along

00:16:58 #206 and smack all your own hometown up

00:16:59 #207 and hit you right in the face.

00:17:01 #208 The line, Sailor, come on, wake up.

00:17:24 #209 It's a small accident.

00:17:29 #210 What happened?

00:17:31 #211 The road curved, but I didn't.

00:17:33 #212 Come on, I've got to put into Ivers Town for repairs.

00:17:43 #213 Next time I pick me a guy that don't fall asleep.

00:17:46 #214 Welcome to Iverstown.

00:17:51 #215 Well, maybe this time they mean it.

00:17:53 #216 You got anybody here to fix this wreck, mister?

00:18:02 #217 We're over in.

00:18:06 #218 Ten more you don't make it a bet. Five more you don't make it a bet.

00:18:09 #219 I feel you.

00:18:14 #220 Ten more you don't make it a bet.

00:18:26 #221 How long will it take, Pop?

00:18:28 #222 Can't tell till we look her over.

00:18:30 #223 Come back tomorrow.

00:18:31 #224 Open game?

00:18:33 #225 Nope.

00:18:39 #227 You got a bet. Come on, Harry, make four.

00:18:43 #228 Seven. You should, Joe.

00:18:45 #229 Thanks. Shooting 20.

00:18:47 #230 You got it.

00:18:49 #231 And more you don't make it.

00:18:51 #232 What shall it cost, Pop?

00:18:53 #233 Well, no till it's done.

00:18:58 #234 Ain't no look I want to know now.

00:19:01 #235 Take it someplace else.

00:19:03 #236 Welcome to Iverson.

00:19:05 #237 We interrupt this program of dinner music

00:19:07 #238 to bring you a special broadcast

00:19:09 #239 in the interest of the reelection of distance cameras.

00:19:12 #240 District Attorney Walter P. O'Neill.

00:19:14 #241 No, leave that on, will you, sir?

00:19:16 #242 Ladies and gentlemen, it is with deep regret that we are forced to announce that Mr. O'Neill will not be able to address this citizens forum tonight.

00:19:22 #243 Mr. O'Neill was suddenly taken ill, but we are fortunate to have the best-loved civic figure of Iverstown, the gracious Mrs. O'Neill here in the studio tonight to speak for him.

00:19:31 #244 Citizens of Iverstown, the issues in this election are simple.

00:19:36 #245 That's enough of that malarkey.

00:19:38 #246 This, uh, Walter P. O'Neill, isn't it?

00:19:41 #247 The kid that used to live on, uh, Sycamore Street.

00:19:43 #248 His father used to be a school teacher.

00:19:45 #249 Yeah. That's him. You know him?

00:19:47 #250 Yeah, I used to.

00:19:50 #251 A little scared kid on Sycamore Street.

00:19:52 #252 Now he's running for the district attorney.

00:19:54 #253 What's the odds?

00:19:56 #254 On what?

00:19:57 #255 The election.

00:19:58 #256 No odds. No takers.

00:20:00 #257 This is a sure bet, mister.

00:20:02 #258 Gonna be reelected.

00:20:04 #259 Gonna be governor.

00:20:05 #260 And I'm making a book right now that some day

00:20:08 #261 One day, he'll run for president.

00:20:10 #262 Yeah?

00:20:12 #263 Going to be whatever his wife wants him to be.

00:20:14 #264 Some girl.

00:20:16 #265 Who do you marry?

00:20:17 #266 You from this town?

00:20:18 #267 Used to be.

00:20:20 #268 You ought to know her then.

00:20:21 #269 Old lady Ivers' niece.

00:20:24 #270 Martha Ivers?

00:20:25 #271 Yeah.

00:20:27 #272 Came into the whole works after the old lady died.

00:20:31 #273 Well, what do you know?

00:20:32 #274 What do you know about that?

00:20:33 #275 Martha Ivers?

00:20:43 #276 You know, you still look like a scared little kid to me.

00:20:50 #277 Hello, Gallagher.

00:20:51 #278 Hey, wait a minute.

00:20:53 #279 Do I know you?

00:20:55 #280 Sure.

00:20:56 #281 I'm the guy who tossed a rock through that window once.

00:20:59 #282 And you're the guy who chased me.

00:21:01 #283 If I chased you, I'd bet I caught you.

00:21:06 #284 Come to think of it, I believe you did.

00:21:58 #285 You live here?

00:22:00 #286 Used to.

00:22:01 #287 Who runs this place?

00:22:02 #288 Lady, the name of Mrs. Burke.

00:22:04 #289 She's not home.

00:22:05 #290 You waiting for her?

00:22:07 #291 Just came back to get my things.

00:22:11 #292 I've been away for a while.

00:22:14 #293 I'm waiting for a taxi.

00:22:16 #294 I used to live here in this house 17, 18 years ago.

00:22:21 #295 I was born here.

00:22:22 #296 Don't kid me, you're older than that.

00:22:25 #297 Well, I didn't move right after I was born.

00:22:29 #298 Got one to spare?

00:22:33 #299 Got some more matches?

00:22:35 #300 Hang on these.

00:22:38 #301 Got the time?

00:22:42 #302 Yeah, it's a quarter after 11.

00:22:43 #303 I ain't that just dandy.

00:22:45 #304 And I've got an 1130 bus to catch.

00:22:47 #305 I think we still make it.

00:22:48 #306 How if the taxi doesn't show up fast?

00:22:51 #307 Do you know anybody who lives around here

00:22:52 #308 and name of Masterson?

00:22:55 #309 No.

00:22:56 #310 Know anybody in town at all by their name?

00:22:58 #311 No, I'm from Ridgeville.

00:23:01 #312 Is your name Masterson?

00:23:04 #313 You mean you're just getting home after 18 years?

00:23:09 #314 Well, 17 or 18.

00:23:12 #315 You're just getting around to looking up your people.

00:23:14 #316 No, not exactly.

00:23:16 #317 I just happened to be driving through on my way west and got more or less curious.

00:23:24 #318 How good luck.

00:23:28 #319 What you gonna do?

00:23:31 #320 What do you mean?

00:23:32 #321 I mean about your people.

00:23:34 #322 I don't know.

00:23:35 #323 Maybe nothing.

00:23:37 #324 Maybe tomorrow I'll go down to the courthouse and look up the deaths in the last 18 years.

00:23:41 #325 Can you do that?

00:23:44 #326 Yeah, I think so.

00:23:47 #327 Good night.

00:23:48 #328 Bus terminal, please hurry. I've got 1130 bus to catch.

00:24:20 #329 I thought it was you, Mr. Masterson.

00:24:21 #330 I'm glad to see you again. I gave you my last match.

00:24:25 #331 Want to lift any place on the way to the bus station?

00:24:27 #332 You talked me into it. You got my matches. Got a name?

00:24:37 #333 Tony. Antonio. Antonio Marachek.

00:24:42 #334 Is that a dilly, Mr. Masterson?

00:24:44 #335 Sam.

00:24:50 #336 Please hurry.

00:24:52 #337 The depot was just across the tracks. You still got poor men in.

00:24:58 #338 You would have made it if you didn't stop to pick up your chance.

00:25:01 #339 You might be able to chase it.

00:25:03 #340 I can get a bus back to Ridgeville tomorrow.

00:25:07 #341 Maybe I won't get a bus back to Ridgeville.

00:25:10 #342 Maybe I'll go someplace else.

00:25:13 #343 Maybe in another direction.

00:25:15 #344 She'll go further west, maybe.

00:25:19 #345 Have you ever been out west before?

00:25:22 #346 I've never.

00:25:23 #347 Maybe I will.

00:25:26 #348 What's it like?

00:25:32 #349 Babe, you want to go back?

00:25:59 #350 I can't go back there. I have to go someplace else.

00:26:04 #351 Do you drink same?

00:26:05 #352 Yes, I drank.

00:26:07 #353 I'll buy you one.

00:26:09 #354 Okay.

00:26:10 #355 Too bad.

00:26:13 #356 Do you want me to check your bag in the station here?

00:26:15 #357 I don't know.

00:26:16 #358 I guess I wanted it at a hotel.

00:26:18 #359 You don't want me to take you there?

00:26:20 #360 Do you happen to be at the Gable Hotel?

00:26:23 #361 Yeah.

00:26:24 #362 Can I go there?

00:26:26 #363 It's a public place.

00:26:28 #364 Yeah.

00:26:29 #365 Tell the clerk that Sam Masterson wants a room for a young lady.

00:26:32 #366 She'll register when she gets there.

00:26:34 #367 Yes, sir.

00:26:35 #368 Thanks.

00:26:36 #369 But, flat sea.

00:26:50 #370 Blue lights, music, everything.

00:26:53 #371 A cafe.

00:26:56 #372 I lived in this town.

00:26:57 #373 There were nothing but saloons.

00:26:59 #374 My father used to live in them.

00:27:02 #375 Mine too.

00:27:04 #376 We're related.

00:27:05 #377 I'll have the same thing you have if you don't mind.

00:27:07 #378 Scotch.

00:27:08 #379 I take a plain water chaser with that

00:27:11 #380 when the Scotch isn't so good.

00:27:13 #381 Two water chasers.

00:27:16 #382 Did you drive far?

00:27:18 #383 About 600 miles since this morning.

00:27:21 #384 You aren't driving anything tonight.

00:27:23 #385 Oh, my Stanley Steamer's in the garage having her face lifted.

00:27:28 #386 Better bring us a couple more before curfew.

00:27:30 #387 Oh, Swar.

00:27:31 #388 $92.

00:27:33 #389 On me.

00:27:37 #390 Oh, thanks.

00:27:38 #391 Oh, maybe you'd like to drink to finding your people.

00:27:43 #392 My mother wouldn't approve of that.

00:27:45 #393 How would you know after all this time?

00:27:48 #394 After all this time, you probably wouldn't care.

00:27:50 #395 One way or the other.

00:27:52 #396 You talk awful cold blooded about them, don't you?

00:27:55 #397 That's life.

00:27:56 #398 Is it a big family?

00:27:58 #399 No, it wasn't.

00:27:59 #400 Besides me, they're just the usual two people

00:28:02 #401 necessary to increase the population.

00:28:05 #402 Mother left when I was a baby and my father

00:28:08 #403 probably drank himself to death by now.

00:28:11 #404 Another man I know talks cold like that's my dad.

00:28:15 #405 He's the most cold blooded man in Ridgeville.

00:28:19 #406 When she kicked me, she made me sick.

00:28:23 #407 I can guess why you didn't break your neck to catch that bus back to Ridgeville tonight.

00:28:27 #408 I probably would have got on and got off before it started out.

00:28:31 #409 I would have got the jitters the minute I got on.

00:28:35 #410 Anyway, it's gone now for tonight anyhow.

00:28:40 #411 There won't be another one until tomorrow night.

00:28:43 #412 And now I know for sure I'm not going to make that one either.

00:28:47 #413 Not the one to Ridgeville at least.

00:28:50 #414 at least but I'm so glad you came to have a drink with me tonight I was so lonesome I

00:28:59 #415 like to have died have you ever been that lonesome how lonesome is that as much as

00:29:06 #416 you can hold without busting open want to know how I got that way curfew shall we

00:29:15 #417 go home the reason I picked the hotel your hotel is it's really very you read

00:29:22 #418 You had the hotel advertising on that when you had it.

00:29:25 #419 You're smart.

00:29:27 #420 Maybe you think I've been trying too hard to get acquainted.

00:29:30 #421 Maybe I have.

00:29:32 #422 Maybe you think that's wrong.

00:29:33 #423 Maybe it's too soon to tell.

00:29:36 #424 I wonder what you're thinking.

00:29:38 #425 I don't think you'll take up too much room in my Stanley steamer.

00:29:42 #426 Maybe you're all right.

00:29:44 #427 You think you can hold that thought all the way to the coast?

00:29:55 #428 We better wait here for a minute.

00:29:59 #429 I want to ask you something.

00:30:01 #430 Does that guy look like a scared little boy to you?

00:30:04 #431 He looks like he's going to cry any minute.

00:30:07 #432 Let's get away from him.

00:30:20 #433 It's Mr. O'Neill there.

00:30:21 #434 No, madam.

00:30:22 #435 Not to my knowledge.

00:31:07 #436 My lady slips.

00:31:09 #437 I'll room for some coffee for you.

00:31:10 #438 No, thank you.

00:31:11 #439 I'll have another drink.

00:31:12 #440 Walter.

00:31:14 #441 If there's to be a discussion, I'll need another drink.

00:31:18 #442 Otherwise, I shall neither hear nor be coherent

00:31:21 #443 But when and if I reply to whatever it is you're about to say.

00:31:26 #444 Did you forget that you were supposed to speak tonight?

00:31:29 #445 I didn't forget. I was nice.

00:31:34 #446 Your room, I mean.

00:31:36 #447 It's been a long time since I've been here.

00:31:39 #448 Where were you?

00:31:40 #449 Getting drunk. Where?

00:31:42 #450 I'm still the people's choice.

00:31:45 #451 I did not make a public display of myself anywhere.

00:31:49 #452 You realize, of course, that you will one day, inevitably?

00:31:51 #453 Inevitably.

00:31:53 #454 Your career, not mine.

00:31:55 #455 What's mine is yours.

00:31:57 #456 Don't you think I'm entitled to an explanation?

00:32:00 #457 What do you want me to say?

00:32:02 #458 I don't want to put words in your mouth.

00:32:04 #459 I'd prefer that you would.

00:32:06 #460 All right.

00:32:07 #461 When did you get drunk? Where did you get drunk?

00:32:08 #462 Why did you get drunk?

00:32:11 #463 Don't stand over me like that.

00:32:15 #464 I'm a sentimental man, Martha.

00:32:18 #465 I started to get dressed, and then I

00:32:22 #466 I realized it was the fourth anniversary of my father's death.

00:32:27 #467 I thought it'd be nice if I went to the cemetery

00:32:30 #468 and laid a wreath of flowers on his grave.

00:32:33 #469 However, I never got there.

00:32:36 #470 Sentiment overwhelmed me.

00:32:39 #471 I stopped off to have a drink to his sainted memory.

00:32:44 #472 As I drank, I thought to myself, it's

00:32:47 #473 such a pity that my father isn't alive.

00:32:50 #474 To be able to see for himself all his dreams

00:32:53 #475 come true. The dreams he works so hard for. His son, a famous man, married to a beautiful

00:33:07 #476 and wealthy woman. All right. Now tell me why you got drunk.

00:33:13 #477 Because I couldn't get up and speak before people.

00:33:16 #478 Walter, listen to me. What's done is done.

00:33:23 #479 The deed's done, not the thought. You've got a life to live.

00:33:25 #480 I don't know. I'm not sure. A brilliant career.

00:33:28 #481 My father always said that.

00:33:30 #482 Your father was right.

00:33:31 #483 He was never right about anything.

00:33:34 #484 From the day he walked in and found your aunt on the floor.

00:33:37 #485 I told you I never want that mentioned.

00:33:39 #486 The day he sat beside you in the courtroom.

00:33:42 #487 As I, the public prosecutor, demanded

00:33:44 #488 that the state take the life of a man

00:33:46 #489 for the brutal murder of Mrs. Iverson.

00:33:49 #490 My father said nothing.

00:33:50 #491 I looked at him, but he said nothing.

00:33:53 #492 Your father was a realistic man.

00:33:55 #493 My father may he rest in peace was a greedy man.

00:34:00 #494 The man they executed was a criminal.

00:34:02 #495 If he hadn't hanged for that, he would have hanged for something else.

00:34:05 #496 A man was a man.

00:34:06 #497 Justice is justice.

00:34:09 #498 That's the way it is.

00:34:11 #499 I can't get up and speak before people.

00:34:15 #500 The word's ticking my throat.

00:34:18 #501 I'd rather get drunk.

00:34:20 #502 I do get drunk.

00:34:24 #503 I did get drunk.

00:34:27 #504 Walter, dear, listen to me.

00:34:29 #505 If you carry a thing in your mind, it makes you sick.

00:34:33 #506 I want you well.

00:34:35 #507 Tomorrow...

00:34:36 #508 You'll be like today.

00:34:37 #509 You will leave on a trip for your health for a few weeks.

00:34:40 #510 Will you go with me?

00:34:44 #511 No.

00:34:45 #512 I'll stay here.

00:34:46 #513 I'll stay here too.

00:34:51 #514 What do you want to do? Give everything up?

00:34:53 #515 Is that what you want to do?

00:34:55 #516 You wouldn't let me do that, would you, Martha?

00:34:57 #517 Do you want to?

00:34:58 #518 I don't know, Martha.

00:35:00 #519 I ask myself that question all the time.

00:35:04 #520 If my father were alive, I could ask him.

00:35:08 #521 Only I know what his answer would be.

00:35:11 #522 He'd say to me, keep what you have and make her live up to it.

00:35:19 #523 Make her live up to her bark.

00:35:20 #524 That's what he'd say.

00:35:21 #525 I am living up to it, Walter.

00:35:23 #526 Another drink left?

00:35:49 #527 Might as well have.

00:35:50 #528 The bottle's empty now.

00:36:01 #529 Tell me, Martha, what shall I do about my love for you?

00:36:18 #530 Tell me, Martha, why I don't abandon all this?

00:36:22 #531 Why I don't just throw it back in your face?

00:36:24 #532 You tell me, Walter.

00:36:26 #533 Now, this is it. Not good, not bad.

00:36:50 #534 With bath?

00:36:52 #535 With bath and come out, come out wherever you are.

00:36:55 #536 With bath, eh?

00:36:57 #537 There's half as many baths as there is rooms.

00:37:00 #538 Half the rooms has baths and half hasn't.

00:37:02 #539 That's one way of looking at it.

00:37:03 #540 Another is, for each two rooms,

00:37:05 #541 one has a bath in the middle and the other hasn't.

00:37:08 #542 Or, you might say,

00:37:10 #543 there's a half a bath to each of two rooms.

00:37:13 #544 How is that again, huh?

00:37:15 #545 There's half as many baths as there is rooms

00:37:16 #546 I've already sent the boy with those bags up to your room, Mr. Masterson.

00:37:20 #547 Oh, well, they belong to Miss Marichek here.

00:37:22 #548 They came in my name because she wasn't registered yet.

00:37:25 #549 I, uh, I missed my bus to Ridgeville.

00:37:28 #550 Oh, that's too bad.

00:37:30 #551 The boy went off at 12. You'll have to manage yourselves.

00:37:39 #552 I can't leave the board.

00:37:40 #553 Thanks.

00:37:42 #554 Good night. Sweet dreams.

00:37:44 #555 Good night, Cuban.

00:37:48 #556 25, your room number's 25. I'm 23.

00:37:54 #557 Makes us neighbors.

00:38:08 #558 Why did you buy a ticket to Richville

00:38:09 #559 if you didn't want to go back home?

00:38:12 #560 I didn't.

00:38:14 #561 I didn't buy the ticket.

00:38:15 #562 I got it, but I didn't buy it.

00:38:28 #563 I'm a little cold, maybe.

00:38:30 #564 Better get out of this wood, close.

00:38:38 #565 I've started your bath for you.

00:38:40 #566 Hurry up now, I'm next.

00:38:41 #567 Thanks.

00:38:42 #568 I'll loan you a book per couple of cigarettes.

00:39:22 #569 If you don't mind what kind of a book it is.

00:39:29 #570 That pine soap makes you tingle all over.

00:39:32 #571 That's something very personal about soap.

00:39:35 #572 It's almost as personal as a toothbrush.

00:39:37 #573 I won't use your toothbrush.

00:39:39 #574 Where's your book now?

00:39:40 #575 You don't care what kind of a book it is?

00:39:42 #576 Suspense is killing me.

00:39:44 #577 It isn't my book.

00:39:45 #578 Somebody here before forgotten left it.

00:39:50 #579 I warned you.

00:39:58 #580 There's one in every room with a hotel.

00:40:01 #581 One in practically every room of every hotel in the world.

00:40:05 #582 It tells all about it there in the first page yourself.

00:40:18 #583 What do you know?

00:40:20 #584 No, no, no, don't get up.

00:40:25 #585 Look at you, man. That's really a picture.

00:40:32 #586 Throw me a match.

00:40:36 #587 So you're leaving tomorrow?

00:40:38 #588 Yeah, we're leaving tomorrow.

00:40:40 #589 That is, if the car is fixed.

00:40:41 #590 Sure you won't mind me being a passenger.

00:40:47 #591 That of a company.

00:40:49 #592 Are you gonna stay in the West?

00:40:51 #593 Maybe. Maybe not.

00:40:55 #594 You might get lonesome again.

00:40:56 #595 I've been lonesome before.

00:40:57 #596 I was so lonesome tonight, I liked to have died.

00:40:59 #597 I know you mentioned that.

00:41:03 #598 But I tried to tell you why.

00:41:04 #599 Look, I'm going to take a shower.

00:41:07 #600 I just got out of jail.

00:41:11 #601 I just got out tonight.

00:41:15 #602 Like I said, I think you like that.

00:41:28 #603 Well, my nose isn't that big.

00:44:30 #604 I want to see the chief's intercept

00:44:38 #605 be to ask you a couple of questions.

00:44:42 #606 Sergeant Masterson.

00:44:44 #607 Suspense is killing me.

00:44:45 #608 What do you want to know?

00:44:47 #609 You've been around.

00:44:49 #610 Look at that.

00:44:50 #611 Africa, Anzio, and Normandy.

00:44:53 #612 Why don't you wear that button in your coat?

00:44:55 #613 The same reason you don't wear your badge,

00:44:57 #614 I like it incognito.

00:44:59 #615 Now what else do you want to know?

00:45:00 #616 What we wanted to know, this layout told us.

00:45:03 #617 There ain't nothing you can add to it.

00:45:14 #618 She didn't get in an accident, did she?

00:45:15 #619 She's in a can for a nice long stretch.

00:45:17 #620 What's the charge?

00:45:18 #621 Violation of probation.

00:45:19 #622 Probation for what?

00:45:21 #623 Theft.

00:45:22 #624 Terms of her probation when she was released yesterday

00:45:24 #625 was that she returned to a home in Ridgeville.

00:45:26 #626 An hour ago, we picked her up at the depot

00:45:28 #627 once she tried to cash the ticket.

00:45:30 #628 Well, maybe she wanted to go by train.

00:45:33 #629 Maybe she wanted to walk.

00:45:34 #630 There's no law that says she...

00:45:34 #631 That's not the reason she gave, wise guy.

00:45:36 #632 No.

00:45:38 #633 The reason she gave was that she got a job.

00:45:40 #634 Said you were her employer.

00:45:42 #635 Well, what's wrong with that?

00:45:45 #636 Nothing, if you can prove it.

00:45:47 #637 But take a tip from me, bud.

00:45:48 #638 Don't try it.

00:45:50 #639 Jake and me don't like to waste our time

00:45:51 #640 testifying in court.

00:45:53 #641 But we will.

00:45:56 #642 So long.

00:45:59 #643 Exhibit A, bud, in case you get stubborn.

00:46:02 #644 And now wait a minute, copper.

00:46:06 #645 All right, leave our things alone.

00:46:08 #646 Do you want to come along, soldier?

00:46:27 #647 Scared boy.

00:46:31 #648 You're just about to do your old pal a great big favor.

00:46:35 #649 How do you like the way the election's going

00:46:49 #650 this beautiful morning?

00:46:50 #651 The election's going good every morning.

00:46:52 #652 Look, honey, Miss, uh...

00:46:57 #653 St. John. Bobby.

00:46:59 #654 Better still.

00:47:00 #655 What can I do for you?

00:47:02 #656 In.

00:47:03 #657 In, but not yet ready to face the world.

00:47:07 #658 Won't you sit down?

00:47:09 #659 Look, honey, I'm in kind of a hurry.

00:47:12 #660 Would you take a note in for me?

00:47:14 #661 When he buzzes.

00:47:17 #662 Here.

00:47:22 #663 Update calls now.

00:47:36 #664 There's a gentleman to see you.

00:47:37 #665 He says it's very important.

00:47:39 #666 I'm not telling myself.

00:47:50 #667 We were kids together, Miss St. John.

00:48:05 #668 I wouldn't have known you, Sam.

00:48:07 #669 Well, I wouldn't have known you either, Walter.

00:48:08 #670 Only I saw your picture. My picture?

00:48:10 #671 Oh, yes.

00:48:12 #672 Yes, of course.

00:48:13 #673 I don't want to be disturbed unless it's very important.

00:48:15 #674 Yes, Mr. O'Neill.

00:48:25 #675 How long has it been?

00:48:27 #676 17, 18 years, something like that.

00:48:29 #677 Well, we were just kids, you remember?

00:48:32 #678 The three of us?

00:48:33 #679 Yeah.

00:48:35 #680 The three of us. Thanks.

00:48:38 #681 What's she like, Walter? Beautiful.

00:48:40 #682 I'm married.

00:48:41 #683 I know.

00:48:42 #684 You've done all right.

00:48:44 #685 I guess so.

00:48:46 #686 And you, what have you done?

00:48:47 #687 Knocked around, seen a lot, I guess.

00:48:49 #688 You know, had some fun, maybe?

00:48:51 #689 What have you done mostly?

00:48:53 #690 Lately, I mostly.

00:48:55 #691 Mostly?

00:48:56 #692 You mean gamble?

00:48:57 #693 Sure, sure.

00:48:58 #694 That's my business.

00:48:59 #695 Perhaps this is where I should remark that all life is a gamble.

00:49:04 #696 You don't need to bother.

00:49:05 #697 I know it.

00:49:06 #698 Some wins and some don't.

00:49:07 #699 You needn't have made that point.

00:49:09 #700 I'm sorry, Sam.

00:49:12 #701 This has been a stuffy conversation I...

00:49:14 #702 Would you like a drink?

00:49:16 #703 Isn't it a little early in the morning?

00:49:18 #704 I haven't even stopped for breakfast yet.

00:49:21 #705 The occasion.

00:49:23 #706 You talk to me into it.

00:49:25 #707 Fine, fine.

00:49:26 #708 Well, I wouldn't have bothered you, Walter, only, um...

00:49:30 #709 I'm not a girl, and you can help.

00:49:33 #710 You don't look like you need help with any girl.

00:49:36 #711 Now, this trip out I do. There's kids in jail.

00:49:40 #712 What's the charge?

00:49:41 #713 Violation of probation. Name is Tony Marichek.

00:49:45 #714 That's not easy to square, Sam.

00:49:47 #715 No, you can do it. You will. Old time's sake.

00:49:51 #716 We're old time's sake.

00:49:56 #717 I'm sick. We're old times sick.

00:49:59 #718 Thanks. Excuse me.

00:50:04 #719 It's here to see you.

00:50:11 #720 Please have her wait.

00:50:13 #721 She usually drops in on her way downtown.

00:50:16 #722 Oh, I'd like to see her.

00:50:20 #723 Have Mrs. O'Neill come in.

00:50:22 #724 Yes, sir.

00:50:28 #725 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:50:29 #726 I didn't know you were busy. I'll wait.

00:50:30 #727 Hello.

00:50:32 #728 The name is Masterson.

00:50:34 #729 Sam Masterson.

00:50:36 #730 I'm sorry.

00:50:44 #731 Sammy Masterson.

00:50:45 #732 I'll do that again. Hello.

00:50:53 #733 You should have called me.

00:50:55 #734 It just came in.

00:50:58 #735 Well, you've grown to be a big boy, Sam.

00:51:00 #736 I always was big for my age, you remember?

00:51:04 #737 Yes, I remember.

00:51:06 #738 Anything else you remember?

00:51:08 #739 Well, there are lots of things.

00:51:11 #740 I never figured that a skinny little mutt would grow up so beautiful.

00:51:16 #741 I thank you for my wife.

00:51:18 #742 It sounds funny.

00:51:19 #743 Well, you're saying my wife.

00:51:24 #744 Does it?

00:51:26 #745 Oh, and I don't get so, Walter.

00:51:27 #746 I mean, well, I've always thought of Martha's.

00:51:30 #747 You know how it is.

00:51:31 #748 You keep something in your mind since the time you're a kid.

00:51:35 #749 How long are you staying, Sam?

00:51:36 #750 That all depends on our district attorney.

00:51:39 #751 Oh?

00:51:40 #752 Yeah, I may have to pull out in a couple of hours.

00:51:42 #753 Oh, that's too bad.

00:51:44 #754 That's the way things are, you know?

00:51:45 #755 I don't want to be disturbed.

00:51:52 #756 Well, that's all right, Walter.

00:51:53 #757 You're a busy man, so I'll blow.

00:51:54 #758 And, uh, thanks. Thanks for everything.

00:51:57 #759 Aren't you glad now you missed that circus train?

00:52:05 #760 I don't know.

00:52:07 #761 Where can I reach you, Sam?

00:52:09 #762 Oh, the, uh, Gable Hotel.

00:52:11 #763 And you will do that for me, won't you, Walter?

00:52:13 #764 I'll try my best. You do that.

00:52:16 #765 And here's hoping you win that election.

00:52:18 #766 Thanks. I will.

00:52:20 #767 What, sure thing?

00:52:23 #768 Sure. Sure thing.

00:52:25 #769 What odd you get it.

00:52:27 #770 Sure thing is never a gamble.

00:52:29 #771 No. What else will you give that that's a fact?

00:52:32 #772 Easy character, Sam.

00:52:50 #773 Thank you.

00:52:52 #774 Very sure of himself.

00:52:53 #775 He always was.

00:52:54 #776 This is the first time I've ever seen you off balance.

00:53:00 #777 I wasn't aware of it.

00:53:01 #778 I was.

00:53:02 #779 He came as a shock.

00:53:05 #780 Yes, he did.

00:53:06 #781 To me too.

00:53:08 #782 Sam will never tell.

00:53:12 #783 I'll never forget you saying that.

00:53:14 #784 What makes you think he will?

00:53:15 #785 What makes you think he won't?

00:53:17 #786 How long has he been here?

00:53:21 #787 He came in last night.

00:53:23 #788 Did he tell you much about himself? Where he's been? What he's been doing?

00:53:26 #789 I thought you'd ask what he wanted.

00:53:29 #790 What does he want?

00:53:30 #791 He's playing. It's smart.

00:53:32 #792 Sam was always a smart boy.

00:53:36 #793 All he wanted was for me to get his girl out of jail.

00:53:40 #794 His girl?

00:53:41 #795 That's what he said he wanted.

00:53:43 #796 What do you think he wants?

00:53:45 #797 What he can get.

00:53:46 #798 He's a gambler, a sharpshooter, an angle boy.

00:53:49 #799 They come through my office by the hundreds.

00:53:51 #800 Couldn't you see blackmail in his eyes?

00:53:54 #801 I haven't your experience with criminals.

00:53:57 #802 You will.

00:53:58 #803 And Sammy starts to shake you down.

00:54:00 #804 Release the girl.

00:54:01 #805 Maybe you'll just pick her up and leave.

00:54:03 #806 Leave?

00:54:04 #807 Do you think he'll leave a touch worth millions?

00:54:06 #808 There's only one way you'll find out.

00:54:08 #809 Release the girl.

00:54:10 #810 Goodbye, Miss St. John.

00:54:14 #811 I want a routine check on a Samuel Masterson,

00:54:21 #812 non-resident, registered Gable Hotel.

00:54:23 #813 Miss St. John, close the door.

00:54:25 #814 I want a routine check of all garages.

00:54:27 #815 One of them has his car. Stay here, please.

00:54:29 #816 I want to check up on all local banks.

00:54:31 #817 Get that drive detective a carlty and tell him to come right over.

00:54:34 #818 I thought I might improve my mind while I waited.

00:54:54 #819 Pa's was life of John.

00:54:56 #820 Surely you didn't expect to wait that long.

00:54:58 #821 I was just going to look at the pictures.

00:55:00 #822 I found your message when I got back to the hotel.

00:55:03 #823 I asked you to phone.

00:55:04 #824 I figured you wouldn't mind if I came in person.

00:55:08 #825 I figured you would.

00:55:10 #826 Why?

00:55:11 #827 You impressed me this morning as a man who would bet on anything.

00:55:14 #828 Almost anything, depending on the odds.

00:55:16 #829 I bet you'd like to hear the story of my life.

00:55:18 #830 What are you bet?

00:55:19 #831 My story against yours.

00:55:22 #832 You got a bet.

00:55:24 #833 Let's see, you left here September 27th, 1928.

00:55:28 #834 We'll start from there.

00:55:30 #835 The exact date? How come that's so clear in your mind?

00:55:33 #836 I shouldn't have been.

00:55:37 #837 You know, I used to think this was the swillest spot in the world.

00:55:40 #838 But you really made it just that.

00:55:42 #839 Used to be so dark and ugly when she...

00:55:46 #840 I hate it.

00:55:50 #841 Come on, I'll show you what I've done with the rest of the house.

00:55:53 #842 Okay, fine. I haven't been on a rubber neck tour in years.

00:55:56 #843 Soon after my aunt died, the executors of the estate wanted to close the house

00:56:00 #844 and send me to school, but Mr. O'Neill...

00:56:02 #845 Mr. O'Neill? You're kind of formal about your husband, aren't you?

00:56:06 #846 No, I was speaking about his father.

00:56:08 #847 Mr. O'Neill was my tutor. You remember him.

00:56:11 #848 Oh, yeah.

00:56:12 #849 After my aunt died, he and Walter lived here.

00:56:14 #850 Hmm. That was cozy.

00:56:17 #851 This is Walter's room.

00:56:20 #852 Rich.

00:56:22 #853 Very rich.

00:56:24 #854 Well, you, uh...

00:56:26 #855 you lived here all the time, then, huh?

00:56:28 #856 Except for the few years I went to college.

00:56:30 #857 Mr. O'Neill...Walter's father.

00:56:32 #858 Walter's father thought it would be good for me to get away for a while.

00:56:36 #859 Mr. O'Neill, uh...Walter's father,

00:56:38 #860 he sort of took care of everything, didn't he?

00:56:40 #861 Yes. Yes, he took care of everything.

00:56:43 #862 You didn't like that?

00:56:45 #863 Let's talk about something else.

00:56:46 #864 What do you want to talk about?

00:56:47 #865 Pick a subject.

00:56:49 #866 This is the dining room.

00:56:51 #867 And a kind of crowded.

00:56:53 #868 I pick Walder as my subject.

00:56:58 #869 When did you marry him?

00:56:59 #870 When, or why?

00:57:00 #871 I ask when.

00:57:01 #872 When I finished school.

00:57:03 #873 All right.

00:57:04 #874 Now, why did you marry him?

00:57:06 #875 Pick another subject.

00:57:08 #876 It's your turn.

00:57:09 #877 You?

00:57:10 #878 An open book.

00:57:13 #879 I went out of this town with the circus,

00:57:15 #880 the one you were supposed to go with,

00:57:17 #881 made friends with the animals and moved happily ever after.

00:57:20 #882 Almost.

00:57:23 #883 Ah, I got ambitious, and that tore it, but good.

00:57:27 #884 I got so I wasn't satisfied just being friendly with the animals,

00:57:30 #885 I got so I wanted to own the animals.

00:57:32 #886 So I bought some animals.

00:57:34 #887 Well, my lion got the mange and gave it to the monkeys.

00:57:37 #888 The animals became a responsibility and a liability.

00:57:40 #889 I lost all my hard earned cash and ran like a thief out of there

00:57:43 #890 with a great yen to become friendly with people.

00:57:46 #891 Now on that, I had some success.

00:57:48 #892 Me being a gambler and people being what they are.

00:57:51 #893 Well, that brings us up to my 21st year when I became a man, officially.

00:57:57 #894 How did it feel to become a man officially?

00:58:00 #895 I felt I'd been there before.

00:58:02 #896 How did you feel about becoming a woman officially?

00:58:06 #897 I felt I'd been there too.

00:58:08 #898 This is the room that you...

00:58:18 #899 Do you remember, Sam?

00:58:20 #900 Do I?

00:58:22 #901 It's the only room I didn't change.

00:58:25 #902 It seems that only yesterday I came through that window.

00:58:28 #903 We were going to run away together that night.

00:58:31 #904 You do remember?

00:58:33 #905 Yeah. And it was Walter who let me in.

00:58:40 #906 I come here often, Sam.

00:58:46 #907 Little girls grow up.

00:58:48 #908 They never get through playing with dolls.

00:58:51 #909 There was a storm that night, thunder and lightning.

00:58:54 #910 I was afraid of the thunder.

00:58:56 #911 Why, in the freight car that night, you told me you weren't.

00:58:59 #912 I didn't want you to know.

00:59:01 #913 I wanted to be like you, never afraid of anything.

00:59:05 #914 You remember that too, don't you, Sam?

00:59:08 #915 Uh, things come back to you.

00:59:10 #916 Don't say it like that, Sam.

00:59:12 #917 Not to make me feel good, but because it's true.

00:59:15 #918 All right, it's true.

00:59:17 #919 We were just a couple of kids.

00:59:19 #920 We're not kids now.

00:59:21 #921 No, Martha, we're not kids.

00:59:24 #922 No time for dreams.

00:59:26 #923 Only one dream, Sam.

00:59:28 #924 And it came true. You're here.

00:59:30 #925 So is Walter.

00:59:32 #926 About Walter and myself.

00:59:33 #927 Don't tell me.

00:59:34 #928 I understand. I understood when I saw both of you together in the office.

00:59:39 #929 I watched the way he looked at you. I never saw a guy so nuts about anybody in my life.

00:59:44 #930 Sam, if you stay in Iverstown...

00:59:47 #931 Well, I'm not staying in Iverstown.

00:59:49 #932 All right, Sam, what do you want?

00:59:55 #933 What do I want?

00:59:58 #934 Yes, why did you come back here?

01:00:00 #935 Well, the road curved, but I didn't.

01:00:03 #936 Answer me!

01:00:04 #937 Hey, now wait a minute. You sound like I have to.

01:00:09 #938 As a matter of fact, you sounded just like your aunt used to.

01:00:13 #939 Don't say that to me.

01:00:14 #940 Don't ever...

01:00:15 #941 No, baby, I won't be around long enough to repeat it.

01:00:18 #942 As soon as a certain young lady is out of your husband's clink

01:00:21 #943 and my car is out of Dempsey's alleged garage,

01:00:25 #944 I'm headed west.

01:00:26 #945 I think you really mean that.

01:00:28 #946 Any objections?

01:00:30 #947 No.

01:00:31 #948 No objections.

01:00:34 #949 I should have known if I remembered.

01:00:36 #950 You should have known what?

01:00:38 #951 You... that you'd be like this.

01:00:41 #952 I'm sorry. Sorry that you ever left here for old times sake.

01:00:48 #953 Dempsey's garage.

01:01:24 #954 Oh, yes, Mrs. O'Neill.

01:01:26 #955 Mrs. Walter O'Neill?

01:01:28 #956 Yes, ma'am. It was a rushed job anyway, and I'm rushed enough as it is.

01:01:37 #957 Don't mention it. Glad to be of service, Mrs. O'Neill.

01:01:40 #958 You can add this to your report.

01:01:44 #959 Add this to your report.

01:01:47 #960 Miss O'Neill don't like this guy to go.

01:01:51 #961 Not yet.

01:01:52 #962 All right, Dempsey, thanks.

01:02:01 #963 Drink?

01:02:02 #964 Thanks.

01:02:03 #965 There's not much to report on him locally.

01:02:05 #966 Out-of-town reports are still coming in.

01:02:07 #967 You'll have a complete file on him in a couple of hours.

01:02:09 #968 What's he look like so far?

01:02:10 #969 The big shot gambler.

01:02:12 #970 Broke many times, but always turns up with a new bank roll.

01:02:15 #971 The police in every state have tried

01:02:17 #972 to find the source of his money, but no dice.

01:02:19 #973 Many arrests, no convictions.

01:02:21 #974 Peter Murder Rap and Frisco, self-defense.

01:02:24 #975 Has a war record, few can equal.

01:02:26 #976 The current dems is aggrized.

01:02:27 #977 The ownership certificate says he owns it.

01:02:30 #978 What's wrong with it?

01:02:31 #979 Smashed radiator.

01:02:32 #980 How long will it take to fix it?

01:02:34 #981 Well, who did dems he get this call from?

01:02:46 #982 Didn't you check that?

01:02:47 #983 Yes, I checked it.

01:02:48 #984 And who was it?

01:02:50 #985 Mrs. O'Neill.

01:02:54 #986 That's all.

01:03:00 #987 Yes, Mr. O'Neill?

01:03:01 #988 Get me the county jail.

01:03:02 #989 I want the superintendent of the women's division.

01:03:08 #990 I have the county jail for you, Mr. O'Neill. Deputy Elizabeth Baker is on.

01:03:13 #991 Hello. That girl the one I called you about before.

01:03:17 #992 Yes. Bring her out here at 8. I want to talk to her.

01:03:21 #993 You got the time, bud?

01:03:31 #994 Yeah, it's 5 after 8.

01:03:33 #995 Thanks. I'm expecting my friend out in a few minutes.

01:03:37 #996 Say, I ain't seen your face around here before.

01:03:40 #997 No, I'm a stranger here.

01:03:42 #998 Then you ain't waiting for anybody, huh?

01:03:44 #999 She's a stranger too.

01:03:48 #1000 She's due out a couple of hours ago.

01:03:50 #1001 A lot of trouble, Miss Madchek.

01:03:59 #1002 The law is very specific on violation of probation.

01:04:02 #1003 It's specific about everything.

01:04:05 #1004 You're serving a five-year sentence.

01:04:07 #1005 So I was told once before.

01:04:09 #1006 You lied when you were picked up.

01:04:11 #1007 You told the police you were employed by Sam Masterson.

01:04:13 #1008 You think they would have believed me if I had told the truth?

01:04:15 #1009 Did you cook up that story between you?

01:04:17 #1010 He had nothing to do with it.

01:04:19 #1011 You're very fond of him, aren't you?

01:04:21 #1012 You wouldn't want anything to happen to him.

01:04:24 #1013 Does he feel the same about you?

01:04:26 #1014 You wouldn't want to serve out that five-year sentence, would you?

01:04:31 #1015 What are you getting at?

01:04:33 #1016 Remember, five years.

01:04:35 #1017 And this time you'll have to serve every day of it.

01:04:38 #1018 You don't have to.

01:04:42 #1019 All right, get down to it.

01:04:46 #1020 What do I have to do?

01:04:47 #1021 Phoney.

01:05:14 #1022 Hello, Sam.

01:05:15 #1023 O'Neal, Phoney told me you'd be out at six.

01:05:18 #1024 O'Neal?

01:05:19 #1025 Yeah, sure, the district attorney's an old friend of mine.

01:05:21 #1026 Ask him to do me a favor and here you are.

01:05:23 #1027 You're late but free.

01:05:25 #1028 There was a mix up.

01:05:26 #1029 They lost some papers.

01:05:27 #1030 Oh, I got worried about you.

01:05:30 #1031 What's the matter, kid?

01:05:32 #1032 Tony, look at me.

01:05:35 #1033 I'd like a drink.

01:05:39 #1034 Oh, you're a central buyer, a dozen.

01:05:41 #1035 Hey, Taxi, I'm going to toss you a real coming out party.

01:05:44 #1036 Hey, Taxi!

01:05:46 #1037 Look at him.

01:06:02 #1038 That's wonderful.

01:06:07 #1039 I think you'll like it.

01:06:09 #1040 Go ahead, eat.

01:06:14 #1041 I guess I'm not hungry.

01:06:16 #1042 My stomach's in the knock.

01:06:19 #1043 You ever saw the help?

01:06:21 #1044 I'd have died if I had to stay on in jail.

01:06:23 #1045 Forget it now. You're out.

01:06:25 #1046 If you'd ever been in, you'd know what I mean.

01:06:27 #1047 I know what you mean.

01:06:28 #1048 A couple of times last night, I tried to tell you.

01:06:32 #1049 Why did time?

01:06:34 #1050 You wouldn't listen.

01:06:35 #1051 I don't want to now.

01:06:36 #1052 Oh, now you've got to. Please.

01:06:39 #1053 All right. Make you feel any better.

01:06:41 #1054 I want to be sure you understand.

01:06:44 #1055 One to five, they gave me.

01:06:46 #1056 One to five years, that is.

01:06:48 #1057 It's a long go.

01:06:49 #1058 It's forever.

01:06:51 #1059 I did three months before I came to trial.

01:06:54 #1060 What can happen to the best of people?

01:06:56 #1061 I'm not the best of people.

01:06:59 #1062 I'm just Tony Marichek.

01:07:01 #1063 Where'd you get the fur coat, Tony, the judge asked me?

01:07:06 #1064 I met a guy I told him.

01:07:07 #1065 He said he was in love with me.

01:07:08 #1066 He gave me the coat.

01:07:10 #1067 A likely story, he said.

01:07:13 #1068 I said, but it's true.

01:07:14 #1069 Every word of it.

01:07:15 #1070 I tried to point it because I needed the money.

01:07:18 #1071 Whereas the man he has, I don't know why I said he...

01:07:21 #1072 he took a powdery, he blew, he flew to the moon.

01:07:26 #1073 You don't fly, Tony, the judge says.

01:07:29 #1074 The charges theft, you do one to five.

01:07:32 #1075 Well, how come they gave you probation?

01:07:36 #1076 First offense, you know what probation is.

01:07:40 #1077 Oh, sure.

01:07:42 #1078 Knife sticking in your back.

01:07:43 #1079 You're looking out for the cops?

01:07:51 #1080 Relax. Now you're free.

01:07:53 #1081 I don't feel so good.

01:07:55 #1082 You only take you back to the hotel?

01:07:57 #1083 Oh, no, no. Please. Let me sit here a while.

01:08:01 #1084 Get your coat on. It's a gag. Get your coat.

01:08:17 #1085 All right, Joe.

01:08:18 #1086 It's a gag.

01:08:19 #1087 I was up to you at the hotel.

01:08:21 #1088 Nice layout you got there.

01:08:23 #1089 Double rooms, connecting doors and tall glasses.

01:08:26 #1090 What did this guy tell you? He'd give you any picture.

01:08:28 #1091 All right, Joe, there don't have to be any trouble forgetting.

01:08:30 #1092 She's my wife.

01:08:37 #1093 you can have her in spades.

01:08:43 #1094 Now beat it.

01:08:44 #1095 You too.

01:08:46 #1096 I just want to make sure.

01:08:48 #1097 Joe, there don't have to be no trouble.

01:08:49 #1098 No, there don't have to be no trouble.

01:08:51 #1099 There's got to be.

01:08:53 #1100 Certain wise guys have to be taught a lesson.

01:08:55 #1101 Certain wise guys have to be.

01:08:56 #1102 Where do you want it here or outside?

01:08:59 #1103 Outside will do me fine.

01:09:02 #1104 There's an alley through the kitchen door.

01:09:05 #1105 Sam.

01:09:06 #1106 Shut up.

01:09:12 #1107 Stay here.

01:09:38 #1108 Okay, sister. You did a swell job.

01:09:42 #1109 Now blow.

01:09:43 #1110 That restaurant I kept trying to tell you.

01:12:46 #1111 Come on, get down to it.

01:12:48 #1112 Before they let me out, they took me to the DA's office.

01:12:50 #1113 Oh, Neil? His name's Waterloo Neil.

01:12:51 #1114 Yeah, that's right. That's his name.

01:12:52 #1115 All right, they took you to his office.

01:12:54 #1116 He asked me a lot of questions, mostly about you.

01:12:57 #1117 Not me.

01:12:58 #1118 About you and me.

01:12:59 #1119 Huh?

01:13:00 #1120 He kept asking me to find you while you came here.

01:13:02 #1121 He asked me that a couple of times.

01:13:03 #1122 What else?

01:13:04 #1123 Oh, a lot of questions I forget.

01:13:05 #1124 Remember!

01:13:06 #1125 I had to make stuff.

01:13:08 #1126 The goons, the ones who worked me over.

01:13:10 #1127 They just wanted to scare you.

01:13:12 #1128 O'Neill doesn't want you in town.

01:13:14 #1129 They said if I didn't play with them, I'd go back to Jack.

01:13:16 #1130 And so did O'Neill.

01:13:17 #1131 No, no, the other man, Mr. O'Neill, wasn't there by then.

01:13:20 #1132 You care.

01:13:21 #1133 They said they wouldn't hurt you.

01:13:23 #1134 What?

01:13:24 #1135 No more parole, they said if I went for it.

01:13:27 #1136 I'd do the whole five, they said if I didn't.

01:13:30 #1137 I went for it.

01:13:32 #1138 Go ahead and hit me, Sam.

01:13:33 #1139 I've got it coming.

01:13:38 #1140 I think you've got common kid as a break.

01:13:44 #1141 I'm going back to town.

01:13:47 #1142 They don't want you here, Sam.

01:13:48 #1143 I don't know what it is, but they don't want you here.

01:13:50 #1144 Next time it'll be worse.

01:13:51 #1145 Look, I don't like to get pushed around.

01:13:54 #1146 I don't like people I like to be pushed around.

01:13:56 #1147 I don't like anybody to get pushed around.

01:13:59 #1148 Kid, I'll tell you what you do.

01:14:05 #1149 Are you...

01:14:09 #1150 You grab the next bus out and I'll meet you wherever you say.

01:14:13 #1151 I'll go back with you.

01:14:15 #1152 Good. I wanted you to say that.

01:14:20 #1153 Just a moment, sir.

01:14:33 #1154 Thank me to Mr. O'Neill and you won't get hurt.

01:14:35 #1155 Yes, Mr. Massison. I hardly recognize you, sir.

01:14:39 #1156 Tell your man to ask Martha to come down here.

01:14:45 #1157 Tell Mrs. O'Neill that, John.

01:14:47 #1158 A little talk.

01:14:58 #1159 Kick off first to your team or mine.

01:15:01 #1160 You look terrible, Sam. Have a drink.

01:15:05 #1161 Thanks.

01:15:07 #1162 I'm too up on you.

01:16:02 #1163 I got a shape, Walter. For a minute there, I thought you were dead.

01:16:08 #1164 I wasn't going to shoot.

01:16:12 #1165 I wasn't going to wait and see.

01:16:14 #1166 Come on.

01:16:15 #1167 I, uh, took a gander at this while you were out.

01:16:22 #1168 I could have given you a much more detailed picture on Sam Masterson.

01:16:26 #1169 I didn't know you cared.

01:16:28 #1170 You know it now.

01:16:32 #1171 But Martha, give it to you.

01:16:36 #1172 Give him what, Sam?

01:16:38 #1173 The facts concerning a guy called Sam Masterson

01:16:41 #1174 and his attitudes towards life and love.

01:16:43 #1175 Walter's got their own ideas.

01:16:45 #1176 Sam, you're hurt.

01:16:46 #1177 You want to see the other guy.

01:16:48 #1178 What happened?

01:16:49 #1179 This.

01:16:50 #1180 It fell out of a guy's pocket and hit me in the face.

01:16:54 #1181 Private Dix.

01:16:55 #1182 What's the trouble, Walter?

01:16:57 #1183 Don't you trust your own cops?

01:16:59 #1184 You're right, Sam.

01:17:00 #1185 I hired the man who worked you over.

01:17:02 #1186 The idea was mine.

01:17:04 #1187 I thought it might scare you when you're not coming back.

01:17:07 #1188 It hasn't.

01:17:09 #1189 We're ready to listen to the current quotation on blackmail.

01:17:12 #1190 Walter.

01:17:13 #1191 Blackmail.

01:17:14 #1192 I said blackmail. Now what is the price?

01:17:17 #1193 Remember you're dealing with two old friends.

01:17:20 #1194 Which one of you do I deal with?

01:17:24 #1195 With me. Be at my office at the plant at three.

01:17:27 #1196 Okay. May the deal be profitable to all of us.

01:17:34 #1197 Whatever the price is, that's it, Sam.

01:17:36 #1198 Don't try this again.

01:17:38 #1199 What happened last night can happen again.

01:17:41 #1200 And worse, don't try it.

01:17:44 #1201 I'll make this a flat statement. I'll kill you.

01:17:51 #1202 Hold your hand under the water.

01:18:03 #1203 Now dry your hand.

01:18:18 #1204 This will hurt.

01:18:19 #1205 Even pain at your hands.

01:18:24 #1206 You were lucky.

01:18:25 #1207 Yes, I'm a very lucky man.

01:18:27 #1208 And a stupid one.

01:18:29 #1209 Yesterday afternoon he told me he didn't want anything,

01:18:31 #1210 that he was going away.

01:18:33 #1211 Let me handle it.

01:18:34 #1212 I didn't like what you had in mind.

01:18:35 #1213 It's quite a thing in a small city like this

01:18:38 #1214 to be a district attorney.

01:18:41 #1215 You get to feel like God.

01:18:43 #1216 You know everything.

01:18:45 #1217 Down to the smallest detail.

01:18:48 #1218 Even a call to Dempsey's garage.

01:18:52 #1219 Sam's leaving Iverston today.

01:18:55 #1220 That's what he said.

01:18:56 #1221 I want to hear you say.

01:18:57 #1222 It's up to him.

01:18:58 #1223 No, it's up to you.

01:19:00 #1224 I know you, Martha.

01:19:01 #1225 You are my life's work.

01:19:03 #1226 I've studied you all these years.

01:19:06 #1227 A little girl in a cage waiting for someone to let her out.

01:19:09 #1228 And along comes Sam.

01:19:11 #1229 You know what's on my mind, Martha? About Sam and me.

01:19:15 #1230 I think I do. And that's where it will stay on your mind.

01:19:19 #1231 Unless, of course, I tell you differently.

01:19:22 #1232 What did O'Neill say? Do you think he'll make trouble?

01:19:28 #1233 No, no. I hadn't figured out, right? He's still just a scared little kid.

01:19:32 #1234 Coffee, please, black.

01:19:34 #1235 Martha's the one I can't dope out.

01:19:37 #1236 Martha?

01:19:38 #1237 Miss O'Neill. The three of us grew up together. I told you about her, remember?

01:19:42 #1238 I told you about her, remember?

01:19:44 #1239 What's she like now?

01:19:51 #1240 What do you mean?

01:19:52 #1241 Is she pretty?

01:19:54 #1242 She's beautiful.

01:19:56 #1243 That's why I can't figure out why she'd

01:19:58 #1244 a beautiful rich girl stay married to a guy

01:20:00 #1245 she's not in love with.

01:20:02 #1246 How do you know that?

01:20:03 #1247 I know.

01:20:05 #1248 You sound like you're in love with her.

01:20:08 #1249 You sound like you're jealous.

01:20:10 #1250 Could be.

01:20:14 #1251 When are we leaving?

01:20:17 #1252 This evening at the car today.

01:20:19 #1253 What do we do until then?

01:20:22 #1254 I know. Why don't we find out what happened to your people?

01:20:25 #1255 That'll be simple. Now I know I left town September 27, 1928.

01:20:33 #1256 It's the exact date. How come you remember it?

01:20:35 #1257 Wouldn't you remember a date, the exact date, about something that happened that long ago?

01:20:39 #1258 No, not unless something terrific happened that day.

01:20:41 #1259 Ah. Come on, let's finish your coffee. We'll go down to the newspaper more.

01:20:46 #1260 The more?

01:20:48 #1261 Yeah, I think I can find out by my people down there.

01:20:51 #1262 Afterwards, take your shopping.

01:20:53 #1263 That was a strange case.

01:21:01 #1264 Went on a saw for years.

01:21:04 #1265 Then one day they picked up a guy who stuck up a garage or something.

01:21:08 #1266 Someone who used to work at Old Lady Ivor's house.

01:21:12 #1267 Came out of the trial that he was the one that knocked the old lady off.

01:21:16 #1268 It's my favorite case.

01:21:18 #1269 The picture of the guy.

01:21:20 #1270 Doesn't look like her, Am I right?

01:21:22 #1271 Yeah, kind of a scared little rabbit.

01:21:25 #1272 I watched him all through the trial.

01:21:26 #1273 Never had a chance.

01:21:28 #1274 Oh, Neil really did a job on him.

01:21:30 #1275 Is that Walter O'Neill?

01:21:31 #1276 Yep, same guy.

01:21:33 #1277 He's kind of dramatic, though.

01:21:35 #1278 Him being engaged to the niece of the murdered woman.

01:21:39 #1279 Sure did a job.

01:21:42 #1280 The jury was unanimous.

01:21:43 #1281 Well, what happened to him?

01:21:45 #1282 Well, they hung him.

01:21:46 #1283 Interesting, eh?

01:21:48 #1284 Solving a murder after all those years.

01:21:50 #1285 Sold in the files there.

01:21:51 #1286 Go ahead and read it.

01:21:52 #1287 Oh, thanks.

01:21:53 #1288 How are you?

01:22:01 #1289 Yes, Mr. Masterson, by apartment.

01:22:04 #1290 Send him in, please.

01:22:09 #1291 Three o'clock on the nose.

01:22:12 #1292 On the nose. Come in, Sam.

01:22:14 #1293 You should have kept me waiting. Big executives always keep people waiting, did you know that?

01:22:17 #1294 Good executives don't.

01:22:19 #1295 I bet you're good.

01:22:20 #1296 I am. It catches a dozen, eh? The feeling of a factory?

01:22:31 #1297 When you're out on this place, I couldn't get past the gate.

01:22:35 #1298 Now I'm a guest.

01:22:37 #1299 Or am I?

01:22:38 #1300 I invited you here.

01:22:40 #1301 Martha, did your aunt leave you everything?

01:22:43 #1302 I was her only heir.

01:22:44 #1303 I'll never forget the way she looked that night,

01:22:47 #1304 standing in the doorway, leaning on her cane.

01:22:49 #1305 I don't want to talk about it.

01:22:51 #1306 Okay.

01:22:52 #1307 You look different than you did this morning.

01:22:56 #1308 Clean and fresh.

01:22:58 #1309 Yeah, well, it's the perfume I use that makes me smell so nice.

01:23:03 #1310 I bet I smell as nice as you and Walter put together.

01:23:07 #1311 What do you want?

01:23:09 #1312 I think I've got what I want.

01:23:11 #1313 I think I've got a gimmick.

01:23:13 #1314 A gimmick is an angle that works for you to keep you from working too hard for yourself.

01:23:19 #1315 Simple.

01:23:20 #1316 Specifically, what is your angle?

01:23:22 #1317 Specifically.

01:23:23 #1318 Half of what?

01:23:24 #1319 You tell me.

01:23:27 #1320 All right, Sam.

01:23:32 #1321 Come here.

01:23:37 #1322 My father used to work here as a mill hand.

01:23:42 #1323 So did my father.

01:23:44 #1324 When he was sober.

01:23:46 #1325 Now I own it.

01:23:47 #1326 Now you're even.

01:23:48 #1327 Now I'm even.

01:23:50 #1328 I was 21 when I took it over.

01:23:52 #1329 When I took it over, it had 3,000 workers then.

01:23:55 #1330 It's got 30,000 now.

01:23:57 #1331 Ran as far as that gate.

01:23:58 #1332 Now it goes down to the edge of the river.

01:24:01 #1333 And I did it all by myself.

01:24:03 #1334 Without Walter, without his father.

01:24:07 #1335 All by myself.

01:24:09 #1336 Half of this should make quite a score.

01:24:15 #1337 Half would make you my partner.

01:24:18 #1338 That's what I had in mind.

01:24:20 #1339 You went out of here a dirty little kid once before.

01:24:22 #1340 That can happen again.

01:24:24 #1341 I don't have to give you anything if I don't want to.

01:24:27 #1342 But you do want to.

01:24:41 #1343 Come here, quick!

01:24:42 #1344 Yes, Sam?

01:24:50 #1345 Make a wish. I want shopping.

01:24:52 #1346 Any wish, you make it, you got it. You feel good.

01:24:54 #1347 Yeah, I'm high.

01:24:55 #1348 I had a drink.

01:24:56 #1349 Well, it was in it.

01:24:57 #1350 A bucket of gold.

01:24:59 #1351 The dice came up seven.

01:25:00 #1352 Tony, you bring me luck.

01:25:01 #1353 I'm going to wear you like a charm.

01:25:05 #1354 You really think so, Sam?

01:25:07 #1355 You really think I bring you luck?

01:25:08 #1356 I know so.

01:25:09 #1357 And that's an asset for a guy in my business.

01:25:11 #1358 Tony, Mara, check, assie.

01:25:13 #1359 Tony, Mara, check.

01:25:14 #1360 You're a good kid. You stick around, Tony Marichick.

01:25:17 #1361 Now I've got all the luck.

01:25:19 #1362 I'm funny that way.

01:25:21 #1363 I say what's on my mind.

01:25:23 #1364 You walk down the street and that girl asks you for a cigarette.

01:25:25 #1365 And imagine the time.

01:25:28 #1366 Life is funny.

01:25:30 #1367 That's philosophy.

01:25:32 #1368 It's good too. You want to know how it is with me, Sam?

01:25:35 #1369 No, tell me.

01:25:37 #1370 I've told you.

01:25:39 #1371 And even if it's over...

01:25:41 #1372 you don't know don't talk about a button you are sure well let's take a look at it

01:25:51 #1373 at 95 how do you like it with you and it is

01:25:59 #1374 I love Sam I heard you talking

01:26:06 #1375 even a crummy hotel like this has a switchboard I have special privileges in

01:26:11 #1376 this hotel Sam I own it is Miss on the old time hello

01:26:20 #1377 So this is the girl.

01:26:23 #1378 Tony's my name.

01:26:24 #1379 Antonio Maricci.

01:26:26 #1380 The sun suit looks very well on a Sam.

01:26:28 #1381 She's got just a figure for it.

01:26:30 #1382 She's a very pretty girl.

01:26:32 #1383 I give another show at eight o'clock.

01:26:34 #1384 In your room or here.

01:26:36 #1385 Tony.

01:26:41 #1386 Yes, Sam.

01:26:42 #1387 Miss O'Neill is sorry she said that.

01:26:44 #1388 I'm sorry I said that.

01:26:46 #1389 Okay, forget it.

01:26:48 #1390 Tony.

01:26:49 #1391 Yes, Sam.

01:26:51 #1392 I'm going out with Miss O'Neill on business.

01:26:54 #1393 That's why you came here, isn't it?

01:26:55 #1394 Yes.

01:26:57 #1395 I'll be back after a little while.

01:26:59 #1396 I've got no place to go.

01:27:01 #1397 I'll be here.

01:27:02 #1398 I didn't like that.

01:27:09 #1399 Did I apologize?

01:27:10 #1400 There was ice on your tongue.

01:27:12 #1401 If you want me to say anything else to her.

01:27:15 #1402 You spoke your piece.

01:27:17 #1403 Let's get out of here.

01:27:18 #1404 I've never been in a hotel room like this before.

01:27:21 #1405 I've been in too many.

01:27:22 #1406 Just the way you read about it in books.

01:27:25 #1407 Window shade, scotch on the dress.

01:27:30 #1408 Let's stay here, Sam.

01:27:31 #1409 No.

01:27:32 #1410 Why not?

01:27:33 #1411 We can order our dinner here.

01:27:34 #1412 I don't like room service.

01:27:35 #1413 Come on, let's go.

01:27:51 #1414 What's your Tony marriage act really like?

01:27:54 #1415 That's what she asked me about you.

01:27:57 #1416 What are your plans for her?

01:28:00 #1417 Oh, she's very independent.

01:28:02 #1418 Highly.

01:28:03 #1419 How did you meet her?

01:28:05 #1420 We lived in the same house.

01:28:07 #1421 In Iverston? Yeah.

01:28:08 #1422 When?

01:28:10 #1423 Now, now and then.

01:28:19 #1424 Let's go back to our drinks, huh?

01:28:22 #1425 You continue with your Antonio Marachek.

01:28:29 #1426 Have you other things in common?

01:28:31 #1427 Taxi calves, hotels, and bibles.

01:28:35 #1428 And we don't like some of the same people in places.

01:28:39 #1429 All sounds like a very substantial beginning.

01:28:43 #1430 How long have you known her, really?

01:28:46 #1431 Since day before yesterday.

01:28:48 #1432 How long have you known me?

01:28:51 #1433 Martha, I'm not sure that I've ever known you.

01:28:55 #1434 What are you saying?

01:28:56 #1435 Let's get out of business.

01:28:59 #1436 Let's get out of here.

01:29:02 #1437 Waiter!

01:29:05 #1438 Yes, sir.

01:29:06 #1439 Check please.

01:29:07 #1440 He whiskeys soda.

01:29:10 #1441 Wait outside. Sam, what is it?

01:29:19 #1442 Wait outside.

01:29:20 #1443 Beautiful.

01:29:38 #1444 Back to him when he sobers up.

01:29:41 #1445 Tell him I run an honest book I always pay.

01:29:43 #1446 Thought I told you to wait outside.

01:29:54 #1447 I wanted to see.

01:29:55 #1448 You saw.

01:29:56 #1449 You wanted to kill him, didn't you?

01:29:58 #1450 Yes, I did.

01:30:07 #1451 This the spot?

01:30:08 #1452 Yes.

01:30:09 #1453 I like your car.

01:30:11 #1454 You know what happened to Lot's wife when she looked back, don't you?

01:30:15 #1455 What?

01:30:16 #1456 She was turned into a pillar of salt.

01:30:19 #1457 What happened to Lot?

01:30:20 #1458 Well, he got away. He didn't look back.

01:30:22 #1459 You know your Bible?

01:30:24 #1460 You would too if you spent as much time as I did in hotel rooms.

01:30:27 #1461 I'll take it up.

01:30:30 #1462 Come on, let's get out of here.

01:30:31 #1463 I'd love to watch the city from this spot.

01:30:38 #1464 Up here doesn't even look real, does it?

01:30:40 #1465 It's real. Very real.

01:30:42 #1466 Owning it gives you a sense of power.

01:30:44 #1467 You'd know what I meant if you had it.

01:30:47 #1468 Ivers, Ivers, Ivers.

01:30:49 #1469 Ivers.

01:30:50 #1470 If anyone asked me my name now, I'd say it was Martha Smith.

01:30:55 #1471 It smells smoke.

01:30:56 #1472 Take a look.

01:30:59 #1473 Must have been some kids up here.

01:31:08 #1474 Sam, don't. Let it burn.

01:31:10 #1475 We used to come up here when we were kids and build a fire.

01:31:13 #1476 Ah.

01:31:17 #1477 Let it burn, Sam.

01:31:18 #1478 In those days we used to think that this was real.

01:31:32 #1479 And that... that didn't even exist.

01:31:37 #1480 Just now you looked like Martha Smith.

01:31:41 #1481 If only you hadn't run away.

01:31:43 #1482 Well, I waited for you.

01:31:45 #1483 I remember I waited a long time in the rain, but you didn't show.

01:31:48 #1484 Give me a cigarette, Sam.

01:31:51 #1485 If only you hadn't left town.

01:31:53 #1486 I had no one to turn to.

01:31:55 #1487 What did you say, Sam?

01:32:00 #1488 Nothing, I didn't say anything.

01:32:02 #1489 When I found out it was too late.

01:32:04 #1490 Much too late.

01:32:06 #1491 One thing led to another and...

01:32:08 #1492 Another what?

01:32:12 #1493 I don't want to talk about it anymore.

01:32:15 #1494 No, go ahead Martha.

01:32:17 #1495 Do you good.

01:32:18 #1496 Another what?

01:32:20 #1497 Where was I?

01:32:21 #1498 One thing led to another.

01:32:23 #1499 It would have been so different if you hadn't run away.

01:32:26 #1500 Would have been you instead of Walter.

01:32:29 #1501 Or if you had stopped me.

01:32:33 #1502 When I left the cane, why didn't you stop me?

01:32:36 #1503 You knew how much I hated her. Why didn't you stop me?

01:32:39 #1504 I wasn't there, Martha.

01:32:40 #1505 And then I stood there afterwards only.

01:32:42 #1506 You... you weren't there?

01:32:52 #1507 No, Martha.

01:32:54 #1508 I wasn't there. I left when your aunt came into the hallway.

01:32:58 #1509 I didn't want to stick around. I wasn't in enough trouble as it was.

01:33:01 #1510 I never saw what happened.

01:33:03 #1511 I never knew until the night about your aunt or that man.

01:33:07 #1512 The man, the one they hung?

01:33:09 #1513 The man that you and Walter killed?

01:33:14 #1514 Him help me.

01:34:01 #1515 I never imagined anyone could die so quickly.

01:34:17 #1516 I'd always suppose that wherever I went,

01:34:19 #1517 she would be with me, that she would never die.

01:34:23 #1518 But it wasn't like that.

01:34:26 #1519 I expected to find her when I went back to my room.

01:34:30 #1520 Later I became frightened.

01:34:32 #1521 The coroner and the police were sympathetic.

01:34:34 #1522 They talked very attentive.

01:34:37 #1523 They believed my story, the one I told Walter's father.

01:34:40 #1524 That night I slept heavily.

01:34:45 #1525 Peacefully.

01:34:47 #1526 How did you sleep the night after they hung that man?

01:34:50 #1527 It wasn't long when I found out why Walter's father believed my story.

01:34:54 #1528 It was as if my aunt had never died. He took her place.

01:34:58 #1529 He wanted to make something of his son,

01:35:01 #1530 I was tied to them both from that time.

01:35:03 #1531 It became so unbearable that I wanted to tell the truth.

01:35:08 #1532 But he had deliberately given me such a sense of guilt

01:35:10 #1533 and had painted such a picture of what would happen to me

01:35:12 #1534 that I was crazy with fear.

01:35:14 #1535 He used that fear well.

01:35:19 #1536 To increase it, he made me part of another crime.

01:35:22 #1537 My testimony sent an innocent man to the gallows.

01:35:26 #1538 And he used that to make me Mary Walter.

01:35:31 #1539 Sam, you're not going to go away again.

01:35:35 #1540 I want you here, Sam.

01:35:37 #1541 Don't you hear, Sam?

01:35:39 #1542 I've lived so much inside of myself,

01:35:41 #1543 so choked with wanting something else that lives and breathes.

01:35:44 #1544 So desperate for air and room to breathe in.

01:35:47 #1545 Oh, Sam, please.

01:35:49 #1546 Please, please.

01:37:02 #1547 I was sound asleep.

01:37:02 #1548 I've got a headache.

01:37:08 #1549 I've got something to tell you, Tony.

01:37:12 #1550 Yes, Sam.

01:37:13 #1551 You were at the window there when we drove up.

01:37:52 #1552 Well, that's what I came in to tell you about, Tony.

01:37:54 #1553 The Marth and me.

01:37:57 #1554 You didn't have to, Sam.

01:37:59 #1555 There are no strings on this deal.

01:38:02 #1556 Well, that's what I wanted to do.

01:38:04 #1557 You see, it...

01:38:06 #1558 it started a long way back.

01:38:08 #1559 I... I don't know yet how it's gonna finish.

01:38:11 #1560 What do you want me to say?

01:38:13 #1561 What do you want me to do?

01:38:17 #1562 I don't know.

01:38:18 #1563 All you had to do is tell me the truth.

01:38:20 #1564 Like you did when those goons worked me over.

01:38:24 #1565 Now, Riven, I'm beat up.

01:38:32 #1566 I'm sorry I said that to you.

01:38:34 #1567 I'm sort myself, not at you.

01:38:44 #1568 Do you want me to leave?

01:38:46 #1569 Do you want to leave?

01:38:52 #1570 That's up to you, Sam. I'm here on a rain check.

01:38:56 #1571 Well, now don't put it that way. You're here because...

01:39:00 #1572 that's the way we wanted it.

01:39:03 #1573 No.

01:39:04 #1574 I'm not sure. I'm just not sure.

01:39:12 #1575 Hello, Gable Hotel. I want to speak to Sam Masterson.

01:39:34 #1576 Put that phone down.

01:39:35 #1577 Hello, Sam. This is Walter.

01:39:37 #1578 I know I'm not disturbing you.

01:39:40 #1579 Martha just came in.

01:39:42 #1580 Well, what do you want?

01:39:44 #1581 I want you to come up here.

01:39:46 #1582 Now. Right now.

01:39:48 #1583 Are you crazy? The servants...

01:39:50 #1584 I'll give them the night off.

01:39:52 #1585 You're drunk.

01:39:54 #1586 I've had a lot to drink, but I'm not drunk.

01:39:58 #1587 I suppose it'd be stupid to ask where you were.

01:40:01 #1588 Yes, it would.

01:40:02 #1589 Sam's not leaving, is he?

01:40:04 #1590 Ask him when he gets here.

01:40:06 #1591 I just got my answer.

01:40:07 #1592 Then there are no more questions.

01:40:10 #1593 No.

01:40:11 #1594 I know what I need to know.

01:40:13 #1595 Sam, the Superman.

01:40:16 #1596 Sam, the dirty little boy from the other side of the tracks.

01:40:19 #1597 I'll go and change.

01:40:21 #1598 I wouldn't want him to see me in the same dress twice.

01:40:32 #1599 Come in.

01:40:43 #1600 There's a bus out in about an hour.

01:40:45 #1601 Tony.

01:40:47 #1602 Sam, it's better this way.

01:40:53 #1603 Sam, I came back here with you because you said you didn't like to be pushed around.

01:41:00 #1604 I liked you when you said that.

01:41:03 #1605 You were looking for trouble, but it was a good kind of trouble.

01:41:07 #1606 And now? Now what?

01:41:09 #1607 Sam, I saw her.

01:41:11 #1608 You're going to get hurt.

01:41:13 #1609 Leave her, Sam.

01:41:14 #1610 Leave this town, even without me, but leave. I can't.

01:41:20 #1611 At least not just yet.

01:41:26 #1612 You're going to need some money.

01:41:28 #1613 No thanks. Let's break clean.

01:41:31 #1614 See you around.

01:41:40 #1615 Yeah, around.

01:41:45 #1616 Upstairs, getting dressed for the occasion.

01:41:58 #1617 I'll go upstairs. Why did you call me?

01:42:06 #1618 Got a riddle, Sam. Maybe you can help me solve it.

01:42:10 #1619 It's a little riddle called What's to be done about me, Martha, and you.

01:42:15 #1620 It sounds just like a poem.

01:42:18 #1621 If it rhymed, it would rhyme with murder.

01:42:21 #1622 He's drunk. He's been sitting here drinking all night.

01:42:35 #1623 Draw a chalk line and I'll walk it.

01:42:38 #1624 Or I'll take a mental test. Any question like, uh...

01:42:42 #1625 What is my object in life?

01:42:45 #1626 I tried to stop him from calling you.

01:42:47 #1627 You're a wiseacre. An angry boy.

01:42:50 #1628 You know all the answers, don't you?

01:42:52 #1629 How are you on dreams?

01:42:54 #1630 How are you on dreams and I was glad he called you I was frightened of him Sam. She was frightened of me I

01:43:01 #1631 Had a dream Santa was about you

01:43:04 #1632 In my dream you were not a handsome corpse. Maybe it was some other guy in other dreams. There were I told you he's drunk

01:43:11 #1633 Did you say others?

01:43:13 #1634 Many of these lines for a little Martha her life was so empty

01:43:18 #1635 Is that what she told you Sam? I don't want him in here Sam make him get out now. You're all of them Sam

01:43:23 #1636 Every one of them rolled into one.

01:43:25 #1637 Sam, make him...

01:43:26 #1638 Keep talking. I'm all of them rolled into one.

01:43:29 #1639 Yes.

01:43:30 #1640 You're a gymnasium instructor in Philadelphia.

01:43:33 #1641 With a muscle for a brain and a tendency to insipid verse.

01:43:36 #1642 You're a guy just a guy named Peter Neary who smells of fish and sinks.

01:43:41 #1643 You're last year's greatest fullback and you've flunked your bar exam,

01:43:44 #1644 but you wanted to be an industrial engineer.

01:43:47 #1645 You're a guy who came along to fix a tire so well you became a city-paid inspector.

01:43:52 #1646 And you're a lot of this.

01:43:54 #1647 But worst of all, you're the one and only man

01:43:56 #1648 who shares with me the only claim I have on it.

01:43:59 #1649 Ask her, Sam.

01:44:01 #1650 Say to her, Mark, is all this true?

01:44:03 #1651 What if it is?

01:44:04 #1652 What did you expect? She never wanted to marry you.

01:44:06 #1653 If you had any self-respect, she married me

01:44:08 #1654 because she felt that way I would never tell.

01:44:10 #1655 That's a lie. Your old man forced her.

01:44:12 #1656 How long you expect her to go on paying off?

01:44:14 #1657 Forever.

01:44:16 #1658 Whatever happens to you, you've got coming.

01:44:19 #1659 What can happen, Sam?

01:44:21 #1660 Shall I tell you?

01:44:23 #1661 She'll try to get you to kill me.

01:44:26 #1662 Like she got me to send an innocent man to the gallows.

01:44:29 #1663 I told you the way it was. It was his father's idea. He made me...

01:44:32 #1664 But did she tell you how she stood up in the police station?

01:44:34 #1665 How she looked at the man without batting an eye?

01:44:36 #1666 How she said, yes, that's the man.

01:44:38 #1667 He's the one who came into the house that night.

01:44:40 #1668 He's the man who killed my aunt.

01:44:42 #1669 That even stuck in the throat of my father.

01:44:46 #1670 My poor, dear, departed, greedy father.

01:44:51 #1671 But he went right on.

01:44:53 #1672 And so did I.

01:44:54 #1673 He's lying. You believe me, don't you, Sam?

01:44:56 #1674 You believe her, Sam?

01:44:57 #1675 Well, at least tell the truth now.

01:45:01 #1676 Tell how much you were afraid of an unsolved murder.

01:45:04 #1677 Tell what a threat it was to the power and the riches

01:45:06 #1678 that you learned to love so much in.

01:45:09 #1679 That I learned to love too.

01:45:11 #1680 Tell why I became district attorney.

01:45:14 #1681 Tell why you made me hang that man. Tell the truth.

01:45:16 #1682 I told the truth. They were like leeches, both of them.

01:45:18 #1683 They wanted everything.

01:45:19 #1684 I never wanted to see you.

01:45:20 #1685 Everything you had, I know.

01:45:22 #1686 Everything you have, my dear.

01:45:24 #1687 You're insane.

01:45:35 #1688 You're out of your mind.

01:45:38 #1689 Me too.

01:45:40 #1690 You see, Sam, how close we really are to each other.

01:45:44 #1691 Don't break up our happy home.

01:45:46 #1692 It'll have to be you or me.

01:45:49 #1693 And unless you do it now, it'll be you.

01:45:54 #1694 You mustn't think I'm drunk.

01:46:06 #1695 I'm not.

01:46:09 #1696 It's just that I'm sick.

01:46:13 #1697 Inside of me.

01:46:14 #1698 You're sick. Please.

01:46:16 #1699 Leave me, don't you? He said both of us free.

01:47:07 #1700 He fell down the stairs and fractured his skull. That's how he died.

01:47:10 #1701 Everybody knows what a heavy drinker he was.

01:47:13 #1702 Oh, Sam, it can be so easy.

01:47:18 #1703 You're coming back.

01:48:24 #1704 Your whole life has been a dream.

01:48:27 #1705 I thought you'd be the Sam I knew as a child.

01:48:30 #1706 Martha, you're sick.

01:48:32 #1707 I could run to you when I was in trouble.

01:48:34 #1708 And your mind, I mean, that's where you're sick.

01:48:37 #1709 And you'd help me.

01:48:38 #1710 So sick that you don't even know the difference between right and wrong anymore.

01:48:42 #1711 You've killed? It says so in your record.

01:48:46 #1712 I've never murdered.

01:48:49 #1713 You fell down the stairs.

01:49:06 #1714 You carried me in here.

01:49:16 #1715 Yeah.

01:49:17 #1716 And you chance him in life and death.

01:49:37 #1717 You said I didn't know the difference between right and wrong.

01:49:43 #1718 What's right for Walter and myself?

01:49:45 #1719 For us to tell the truth?

01:49:47 #1720 I think so, yes.

01:49:48 #1721 And hang for it?

01:49:49 #1722 You wouldn't hang for it.

01:49:50 #1723 Not if you confessed.

01:49:51 #1724 You'd do time, sure.

01:49:52 #1725 Sure, I'll rot in prison for the rest of my life.

01:49:54 #1726 And for what?

01:49:55 #1727 What am I guilty of?

01:49:56 #1728 Murder.

01:49:57 #1729 What were their lives compared to mine?

01:49:58 #1730 What was she?

01:49:59 #1731 A human being.

01:50:00 #1732 A mean, vicious, hateful old woman who never did anything for anybody.

01:50:02 #1733 Look what I've done with what she's left me.

01:50:04 #1734 I've given to charity, built schools, hospitals,

01:50:05 #1735 given thousands of people work.

01:50:06 #1736 What was he?

01:50:07 #1737 Another human being.

01:50:08 #1738 I think he's been drunk at someone who would have died in the gutter anyway.

01:50:10 #1739 Neither one of them had any right to live.

01:50:12 #1740 You didn't think Walter had either.

01:50:14 #1741 Goodbye, Martha.

01:50:17 #1742 Sam.

01:50:19 #1743 Sam's going away.

01:50:24 #1744 Did you hear what I said, Walter?

01:50:29 #1745 Yes, I heard you.

01:50:31 #1746 We can't let him go, can we?

01:50:33 #1747 Martha's waiting for your answer, Walter.

01:50:39 #1748 We'd always be afraid of him. We couldn't live that way.

01:50:42 #1749 We'd be fools to let him go knowing so much about us.

01:50:45 #1750 You may have a little trouble squaring this one.

01:50:47 #1751 You broke into the house you demanded money.

01:50:49 #1752 You tried to attack me and I shot you in self-defense.

01:50:51 #1753 I have a right to kill and self-defense.

01:50:53 #1754 That's what the law says, doesn't it, Walter?

01:50:55 #1755 Isn't that what the law says, Walter?

01:51:07 #1756 Hold up, Walter.

01:51:13 #1757 A man with a police record.

01:51:15 #1758 It's a perfect case if you can get Walter to be your witness.

01:51:28 #1759 You want a bet?

01:51:31 #1760 I feel sorry for you.

01:51:43 #1761 Both of you.

01:51:46 #1762 That's why you dropped me.

01:52:15 #1763 For the first time in my life, I was afraid.

01:52:21 #1764 I felt you'd no longer stand by me.

01:52:24 #1765 That you'd leave me.

01:52:25 #1766 It's not your fault.

01:52:38 #1767 It isn't, is it, Walter?

01:52:40 #1768 No. Not mine.

01:52:42 #1769 Not my father's, not your auntie.

01:52:43 #1770 It's not anyone's fault.

01:52:45 #1771 It's just the way things are.

01:52:47 #1772 It's what people want.

01:52:49 #1773 How hard they want it.

01:52:51 #1774 How hard it is for them to get it.

01:52:54 #1775 He's near the gate.

01:52:58 #1776 I'm glad he's going.

01:53:02 #1777 You'll always be here.

01:53:05 #1778 No, he won't, Walter. He won't.

01:53:07 #1779 And he'll never tell you, needn't be afraid.

01:53:10 #1780 And you'll see.

01:53:12 #1781 Things will be different now between you and me.

01:53:15 #1782 Just like... just like nothing ever happened.

01:53:21 #1783 Just like nothing ever happened?

01:53:25 #1784 Will you kiss me, Martha?

01:53:30 #1785 You'll believe me.

01:53:41 #1786 I missed a bus once and I was lucky.

01:55:10 #1787 I wanted to see if I could be...

01:55:14 #1788 lucky twice.

01:55:16 #1789 Don't look back, baby.

01:55:25 #1790 Don't ever look back.

01:55:27 #1791 I happened to lots of wives, don't you?

01:55:31 #1792 Whose wife?

01:55:33 #1793 Sam's wife.
