00:09:37Title
00:09:42111
00:09:47little man who you're looking for. I'd like to see Mr. Thomas Adams, please. I'm Nancy Johnson.
00:09:57Johnson to see Adams. LaRue to see LaRue. LaRue to see LaRue. That's me, Billy LaRue. Oh, what's his last name?
00:10:07Well, how long's he in for? What was he doping up to get caught doing him? Don't tell me he's innocent.
00:10:11Well, as a matter of fact, he is. Isn't that a coincidence? 3,000 of them in here, every one of them innocent.
00:10:19Hey, Mr. Thomas, look where you're going. Oh, thanks for the Jesus Excellency, Senator Malloy.
00:10:26Hey, there's a chance for you, sister. He's head of the parole board. Why don't you tell him your little story?
00:10:32He only hears it 3,000 times a day. Maybe I will.
00:10:48Hello, baby. Hello. Sit down, you big ape. Take a load off your feet, because what I'm going to say to you will cut you right down to my size.
00:10:56Talk some more, baby. I like to hear you talk. Well, you won't like what you're going to hear, because I'm through, Monk. I'm washed up.
00:11:03Oh, sure, baby, sure. Didn't you hear what I said, you big gorilla? I'm scramming out of here. I'm fed up. I'm telling you goodbye. I'm going back to be left.
00:11:14Next bump I take is going to be for dough. I'm God bothering you. No. Don't you understand? I'm quitting. Oh, sure, baby, sure.
00:11:26Nobody sentenced me to ten years of hard labor. Working my hands off, and for what? An orangutan can't use his big hands like a gentleman.
00:11:34Talk some more, baby. Go ahead. I give up. They can't make him that dumb. So long, big pimp. I'll be seeing you in 1948.
00:11:48Lily.
00:12:06Let me hear you talk some more, baby. Okay, gargantua. You win. Just another sucker, that's me. Sure, baby, sure.
00:12:28Hello. Hello. I suppose I should ask, do you get enough food, are they treating you right? Those people usually ask. Skip it, Nancy. It's good to see you.
00:12:42Even like this? That's a lie. You shouldn't have come, Nancy. I'm going to get you out of here, Tom.
00:12:51There's no use in kidnapping ourselves. I'm in for five years. There's nothing more we can do about it. We can get a new trial, Tom. We can fight. Remember me when I get mad?
00:13:02Not a kid. Sick of it. I will too, plenty. I'm getting a lawyer, Tom. Someone who can reach the right people.
00:13:10I had a lawyer, didn't I? You better forget about me and all the pipe dreams we had together.
00:13:16You can't forget a thing that was going to be your whole life. You've got to. No use, Tom. No matter how long it is. Nancy, let's go back home. No use, Tom.
00:13:29He's in, I tell you.
00:13:40Madam, if you place your husband's case in my hands, I assure you...
00:13:44Michael C. Malloy, huh? You know what I heard about you? I heard you couldn't even fix a traffic ticket.
00:14:09Michael Malloy, madam, attorney at law at your service.
00:14:13Not Senator Malloy?
00:14:15No, madam, merely a judge-malloy. The senator is my beloved brother. Perhaps I could help you.
00:14:25Could you arrange an appointment for me to see your brother? If I could discuss...
00:14:28Not so fast, young lady, not so fast. I couldn't bother my brother with a case until I knew all the facts. I suggest you come and see me at my office tomorrow morning. You're staying here in town, aren't you?
00:14:45Yes, I'm staying. I'll do anything that'll help.
00:14:48I hear you're making a wise and courageous decision. Until tomorrow, then.
00:15:07Well, well, well. Just a little less innocent in person.
00:15:11Come on in.
00:15:19Back up to bed, daughter!
00:15:21I'm afraid that schmaltz is fighting in and not loving himself.
00:15:25Miss Innocent's all up.
00:15:27You seem to be everywhere, Miss Rose.
00:15:29I was afraid to, Lenny. I happen to live here.
00:15:31On the contrary. Closed since unadded trauma.
00:15:35That's putting the zipper on you, big mouth.
00:15:40Hello, sucker!
00:15:44Sucker, meet your new cellmates.
00:15:46This is Winnie.
00:15:49And that's Dumbledore back there.
00:15:53The bird goes by the name of Leifert.
00:15:55Girls, this is little Miss Innocent, alias Nancy Johnson.
00:15:59Well, I thought maybe you had a message from the prison.
00:16:03I've had the strangest feeling about George all day.
00:16:07What's your man in for?
00:16:08George got a long stretch for Ford.
00:16:10But he'll be out soon.
00:16:23Sugar, do you always have to slam the door like that every time?
00:16:26I'll get a load of this. It's Scarlett O'Hara.
00:16:29Why, Billy, honey, you flatter me.
00:16:31You bet your life I do.
00:16:33Oh, this is Nancy, a new fish.
00:16:36And this animal act goes by the name of Gwen.
00:16:40Hello.
00:16:41Hello.
00:16:44Oh, look at these hands.
00:16:46I used to have beautiful hands.
00:16:49Imagine a lady of my time spending my youth in a laundry for $18 a week.
00:16:54Imagine a lady of your size being a lady.
00:16:56I've had about enough out of you.
00:16:58One more crack like that and I'm...
00:16:59That is Scarlett, your southern accent's slipping.
00:17:04Don't be jealous, honey, because I spent last winter with my husband Chester at Manor Beach.
00:17:09We said it's the best hotel in New York and all over.
00:17:12Where's Chester stopping now, Sugar?
00:17:14Irregardless, he's a very wealthy man.
00:17:17He's got $60,000.
00:17:19Well, half of it's mine.
00:17:20The way I hear it, that $60,000 belongs to the National Bank and Post Company.
00:17:25You'll all be sorry someday when Chester tells me where the money's hidden.
00:17:29You'll all be sorry.
00:17:30So will Chester.
00:17:34Maybe I'd better come back later.
00:17:38Stick around, kids.
00:17:39All the animals in this are harmless.
00:17:41Miss Barton will be here at six.
00:17:42She's always here by then.
00:17:44Just like a clock.
00:17:46Every day at six.
00:18:19Is that Mrs. Barton?
00:18:22Mm-hmm.
00:18:30I'll take the work to her.
00:18:32She's going to think I'm careless.
00:18:34Her husband.
00:18:49Don't be frightened.
00:18:51Everything will be all right.
00:18:54I've been here for seven years waiting for George.
00:18:57Seven years?
00:18:59Yes.
00:19:01You see, I know all the ropes.
00:19:05I can help you.
00:19:06I've had us to be friends.
00:19:10Oh, thank you.
00:19:14They keep George in solitary.
00:19:16They won't even let me see him.
00:19:19You ought to get your mom out right away.
00:19:21But how?
00:19:22None of the others will listen to me.
00:19:24But you're different.
00:19:25You listen to me.
00:19:26I've got a plan.
00:19:28It's all worked out.
00:19:30Really?
00:19:32Oh, this is Nancy Jones.
00:19:34You've seen her?
00:19:35Yes.
00:19:36I've got a plan.
00:19:38I've got a plan.
00:19:41Oh, this is Nancy Jones.
00:19:43She wants a room.
00:19:44You'd better be ready for supper.
00:19:46This way, Nancy.
00:19:52This room is $9 a week with board.
00:19:55But I've another room.
00:19:57It's a little better next to mine.
00:20:03This is Mrs. Slade's room.
00:20:05She's leaving us in the morning.
00:20:06You can have this room for $10.
00:20:09That's a dollar more.
00:20:10This room is smaller than the others.
00:20:12Yes, I know.
00:20:14But it has one great advantage.
00:20:22I don't want to see that all the time.
00:20:25Mrs. Slade doesn't agree with you.
00:20:28She says it brings us down closer somehow.
00:20:31Just being able to see those walls.
00:20:33I'd rather take the other room.
00:20:35Very well.
00:20:37That's the signal for supper.
00:20:39The first signal.
00:20:40When it goes again, the men will sit down to eat.
00:20:43So we'll eat.
00:20:45We don't have to eat when they do.
00:20:47No.
00:20:48But you'll find you want to.
00:20:53I'm sure you'll start in your room, Mrs. Slade.
00:20:59Please, I'm dying.
00:21:01Call me now.
00:21:03It's an emergency.
00:21:05Oh, Trill.
00:21:06Come and have some supper.
00:21:09They're finished packing first.
00:21:11Then let me help you.
00:21:12No.
00:21:13No, thanks.
00:21:23How long is your man in for?
00:21:25Five years.
00:21:26But it won't be that long.
00:21:27Maybe not even a year.
00:21:29I hope you're right.
00:21:30But don't count on it too much.
00:21:32Every girl that comes here thinks the same thing at first.
00:21:35After that, she either quits, or she waits.
00:21:39But we can't wait.
00:21:40We were going to be married.
00:21:41You'll learn to wait.
00:21:42Years pass.
00:21:43But I don't want the years to pass without pounds.
00:21:47Five years.
00:21:48That's almost a lifetime.
00:21:50Five years.
00:21:51That's nothing.
00:21:52Nothing?
00:21:53Maybe it's nothing to you, but I know why you say that.
00:21:56All you're thinking of is five years of rent.
00:21:58You little fool.
00:21:59I don't want your money.
00:22:00You don't belong here anyway.
00:22:01Why, every woman in this house puts you to shame.
00:22:04Five years.
00:22:05My husband's in there for life.
00:22:07I wonder what you'll do if you're a Mrs. Slade-Jews.
00:22:10Why, she's leaving in the morning.
00:22:12Yes.
00:22:13She's leaving.
00:22:14With her son in a coffin.
00:22:16He goes to the chair at midnight.
00:22:18You can stay for the night.
00:22:20But please be out of here tomorrow morning.
00:22:26A little more sacrifice is leaving.
00:22:28Can't take it, huh?
00:22:30I didn't think it could.
00:22:34That's the supper bell.
00:22:35And there'll be a little kid there to eat with us.
00:23:01At the sound of the gong, the time will be exactly 11.30.
00:23:05Our program of recorded music continues.
00:23:08Before I get off the staircase down, you raise them, just like this.
00:23:23I don't want you to be in the way.
00:23:25Oh, please don't.
00:23:26I'm afraid I can't.
00:23:27Oh, please don't.
00:23:28I'm so sorry.
00:23:29I don't want you to be in the way.
00:23:31Oh, please don't.
00:23:32I'm so sorry.
00:23:33Oh, please don't.
00:23:34Oh, please don't.
00:23:35I'm so sorry.
00:23:36I'm going to check the meter.
00:23:43Is this time of night?
00:23:47What do you think you're kidding Mr. Peters?
00:23:52Hey Connors, here's your boyfriend.
00:23:55Well, would you look at Miss Miami, all gun up to me for the honor.
00:24:02Well, would you look at Miss Miami, all gun up to me for the eyes.
00:24:07Would you rent a flashlight, sugar?
00:24:09Couldn't do, Mr. Peters.
00:24:12Mr. Peters is teaching me all about electricity.
00:24:16I'll tell you downstairs, they're modest, isn't she?
00:24:26Give me this roaring any day to what it was like in the desert last year.
00:24:30Pete was doing a stretch at Yuma.
00:24:32You and Pete certainly get along, don't you?
00:24:34Seven clinks in 11 years.
00:24:36Breaking a crook's tale of America.
00:24:43Wow.
00:24:44Elsie, the horse.
00:24:46I'm confused.
00:24:48Wow, am I wet.
00:24:50Yeah, I'll find an inside boat.
00:24:52Where's old lady Barton?
00:24:54Upstairs.
00:24:55Where have you been?
00:24:56I didn't know.
00:24:59Who's in your group?
00:25:01A five-year session in the Nancy.
00:25:03I mean, she's getting her bond in the morning.
00:25:06One night stand, huh?
00:25:08No.
00:25:15Can I get you something to drink?
00:25:21That's going to be a very pretty sweater.
00:25:26Don't know why I'm finishing it.
00:25:32Mr. Pierce, honey, you're just ruining my lipstick.
00:25:38Well, now that I'm here, I might as well read the meter.
00:25:43Oh, Gwen, did you tell your husband about us?
00:25:47Well, no.
00:25:49Now I won't care, Gwen.
00:25:50Oh, don't scold me, honey.
00:25:53Well, I can't stand hanging around like this.
00:25:56You've got to tell your husband about us.
00:25:58Make him give you a divorce.
00:25:59But Mr. Pierce, honey, you know you haven't enough money saved up.
00:26:04Have you?
00:26:06No.
00:26:07You think it's easy for me?
00:26:10Working like a slave in that awful bluebird laundry.
00:26:13Quit your job.
00:26:14I don't want you working.
00:26:17But Mr. Pierce, honey, I have to eat and have someplace to sleep.
00:26:24Seventeen, eighteen dollars a week is very little to you, but...
00:26:28Seventeen, eighteen dollars a week?
00:26:30That's all.
00:26:31Well, call the bluebird in the morning and tell him you're quitting your job.
00:26:35Don't you worry about the seventeen dollars.
00:26:38Oh, Mr. Pierce, honey.
00:27:09Come here right now.
00:27:12Come here right now.
00:27:14Five years.
00:27:38Five years doesn't seem so long now, does it?
00:27:47You'd be out there without your best years together,
00:27:50like Joseph and I would have had.
00:27:53What do you mean?
00:27:54He was afraid I couldn't wait for him.
00:27:56He tried to break out.
00:27:58I gave him life.
00:28:05I'd like to stay, Mrs. Barney.
00:28:07And I'd like to have that small of a next year, the ten dollar one.
00:28:37Good morning, Judge Malone.
00:29:00Johnston.
00:29:01Good morning, good morning.
00:29:06I didn't realize you were the Michael Moore who won the Stanley case.
00:29:11You don't really remember that case.
00:29:14That was before you were born.
00:29:17I know.
00:29:18But other people remembered it.
00:29:20I had a civics teacher in college who did.
00:29:23He used to quote passages from your speech to the jury.
00:29:27Oh, it was a wonderful cause you fought for.
00:29:29Yes, I guess it was.
00:29:32The odds were a hundred to one for a conviction.
00:29:35I remember waiting for the verdict.
00:29:38It took 36 hours.
00:29:40It was like a wake.
00:29:42The woman of the jury was a frozen-faced undertaker.
00:29:46And when we said not guilty, it was as if a dam burst.
00:29:52Young Stanley wept.
00:29:54His wife wept.
00:29:57He was afraid I did, too.
00:30:01He gave me that day's desk set.
00:30:04It never did work, but I'd keep it around if it did.
00:30:08It worked in another kind of way.
00:30:12It reminds me.
00:30:14I don't understand.
00:30:16Why I'm here.
00:30:19As I told you before, that was a long time ago.
00:30:23I'm lucky you're here.
00:30:25I'm glad you're taking Tom's case.
00:30:28I'm not so sure I can now.
00:30:32But you promised you would.
00:30:37And I will.
00:30:40Yes, even if it means giving up another case.
00:30:44Not at all.
00:30:45Not at all.
00:30:46Sit down, Miss Johnson.
00:30:47Sit down.
00:30:48Tell me your story.
00:30:56This is the prison, Tom, Miss Johnson.
00:30:58I'm sure you will appreciate the fact that very few of our parents would be broad-minded enough
00:31:03to accept a convict's fiancee as a teacher for their children.
00:31:08I'm sorry.
00:31:09Thanks.
00:31:10Everybody in this town is sorry.
00:31:19Oh, hello.
00:31:20Where can I find the boss?
00:31:23That's him.
00:31:29What is this?
00:31:30What do you want?
00:31:31A job.
00:31:32Nothing to do with it.
00:31:35Please, I want a job.
00:31:36I want to work here.
00:31:38Are you kidding?
00:31:39Look, sister, you come back at about five and I'll take you to dinner maybe.
00:31:42But for a working day, I'd like somebody with a little help.
00:31:45And you won't last an hour.
00:31:47Oh, come on.
00:31:48Come on, please.
00:31:49Well, you get out of here.
00:31:51You're all out for spotless.
00:31:53Getting kind of democratic, aren't we?
00:31:55What brings you here?
00:31:56I'm trying to get a job.
00:31:57Are you still here?
00:31:58I told you nothing doing.
00:31:59Oh, you big lug.
00:32:00Give her a break.
00:32:01Haven't I got anything to say about who works around here?
00:32:03I don't need another girl.
00:32:04Sure you do.
00:32:05I told you this morning.
00:32:06Gwen's retiring.
00:32:08Oh, yeah.
00:32:10Okay.
00:32:11I'll start you at 15 a week.
00:32:13Give her a great spot.
00:32:14Oh, thank you.
00:32:15Now get to work.
00:32:17Hey, look who's here.
00:32:21Billy, thanks a lot.
00:32:23You won't thank me when you see what a small pot of blisters a mango can raise.
00:32:26I can take it.
00:32:28I don't know why any of us take it.
00:32:31Eight hours a day, six days a week.
00:32:34So that on the seventh day, as the good book says,
00:32:37we can enter the thrilling gates of Black Fort Prison.
00:32:40Pick up your hat and coat.
00:32:41I'll get to your uniform.
00:32:50Hello?
00:32:57I haven't answered my letters.
00:32:59Well, never mind that.
00:33:01Tell me how you are and what you've been doing.
00:33:04I'll come your back here for a second.
00:33:06Aren't you glad to see me, Tom?
00:33:08Well, look at me.
00:33:10Nancy, you can't afford to come running down here every week.
00:33:14See, I didn't go home.
00:33:16I've been here all week.
00:33:17What are you talking about?
00:33:19I've got a job.
00:33:21I work here now.
00:33:22You mean you're teaching here in Black Fort?
00:33:25No, but I've got a job.
00:33:27Doing what?
00:33:31Working in a laundry.
00:33:32In a laundry?
00:33:33Listen, Nancy.
00:33:34Please, Tom.
00:33:35I hardly know you.
00:33:36We're going to take your case to Senator Malloy.
00:33:38I've had my belly full of the law.
00:33:39You're wasting your time.
00:33:40Don't talk that way.
00:33:41How do you want me to talk?
00:33:43Please, Your Honor, I saw a couple of Japs drop off the Hansi attic.
00:33:46Of course, I know the Hansi attic was sunk, but I'm not a liar.
00:33:48It was just a ghost ship.
00:33:50Flying Dutchman.
00:33:51But you did see a ship called the Hansi attic.
00:33:53And somewhere we're proving it.
00:33:54How?
00:33:55By calling the ocean with a butterfly net?
00:33:57But it's the truth, Tom, and you've got to fight for it.
00:33:59I'll fight in my own way.
00:34:00Well, I'll fight too in mine.
00:34:07All right.
00:34:08Hang around here and be like these other women.
00:34:10Go ahead.
00:34:11Throw your life away.
00:34:13I can't stop you.
00:34:15No, you can't.
00:34:18Maybe I can at that.
00:34:21Go back home, Nancy.
00:34:24No use hanging around here, because if you come here next Thursday,
00:34:29I won't see you.
00:34:31Don't.
00:34:36But it's been two weeks already, Dutchman and I.
00:34:39I was hoping I could bring them some news tomorrow.
00:34:42You young people.
00:34:44Patience, patience, my dear.
00:34:48Perhaps next week.
00:35:13Hi, kid.
00:35:15Nancy.
00:35:24Nancy, Nancy, do me a favor, will you?
00:35:27If you're going over to see Tom, will you take this letter to George for me?
00:35:30Of course, but why don't you go yourself?
00:35:33Oh, I can't.
00:35:34Why not?
00:35:35They won't ever let me see George.
00:35:37But George is going to get away soon.
00:35:39I've got his escape all figured out.
00:35:42You know what, Nancy?
00:35:44Maybe George has let Tom in on the plan, too.
00:35:46Oh, no.
00:35:48No, Winnie.
00:35:49I'm going to get Tom away at trial.
00:35:51Oh, well, you're not sober because I asked, are you?
00:35:55I've got to hurry, Winnie.
00:35:56I'll be late.
00:36:03Excuse me.
00:36:04Give me that letter, Nancy.
00:36:06What are you doing?
00:36:07Don't.
00:36:08You couldn't take this to George.
00:36:10Why not?
00:36:11Because George doesn't exist except in Winnie's mind.
00:36:14He's been dead for years.
00:36:17But, Chester, honey, if you only told me where the money was hidden,
00:36:21I could be using it to get you out of this awful place.
00:36:24It isn't the money, sweetheart.
00:36:26You know I just went into the racket so I could get you things.
00:36:29It started with that mint coat.
00:36:31Only if you had all that money, I'm afraid I might lose you.
00:36:34Chester.
00:36:36Even that time on our honeymoon, no more than the dough was spent.
00:36:39You were feeling depressed.
00:36:40You was gone for five months.
00:36:42But I came back, didn't I?
00:36:44And, honey pie, haven't I been right here working like a slave,
00:36:48ruining my health and my complexion, just waiting for you?
00:36:52Sure, sweet, sure.
00:36:54I know you'd go through fire for me up to here.
00:36:56But I don't see why we have to stay here when we're so rich.
00:36:59I could be spending all that money on you just to get you out of here.
00:37:04Only maybe if you got all through spending it, maybe I'd still be here maybe.
00:37:08Maybe you would get depressed again and you'd be gone
00:37:11and I wouldn't see you again for a year maybe.
00:37:15Oh, you see what a spot I'm in, don't you, honey?
00:37:19Oh, Chester.
00:37:23All week I've been waiting and then you don't tell me how you've been
00:37:26or did you eat a magazine or something?
00:37:28Honey, baby, you don't tell me nothing no more.
00:37:31Oh, I'll help it if I'm in the dumps.
00:37:33That Johnson kid gives me the creeping willies.
00:37:39He just sits there like he's going nuts or something.
00:37:43You want me to talk to you and you tell that guy I've heard
00:37:45to give the kid a break and see her.
00:37:48Okay, you'll see her.
00:37:50I'll go fix her.
00:37:51Then you'll tell me how you've been and did you read a magazine or something?
00:37:56Talking to me like before.
00:37:58Maybe you'll call me ape again, huh?
00:38:00Sure, I can talk to him, sure.
00:38:14Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:38:15Are you a cripple or something?
00:38:16You talk to your girlfriend next time she comes.
00:38:18Why don't you keep your nose out of my business, Monk?
00:38:21I don't know.
00:38:22All I know is that Billy says he's got the call and willies for Nancy.
00:38:26Look, Tom, you're a nice guy.
00:38:28I like you like a brother.
00:38:29If you don't talk to your girlfriend next time,
00:38:31I'm going to bust your face right in the kisser.
00:38:33You love Billy and you want to do what's good for her, don't you?
00:38:36That's it.
00:38:37Well, I love Nancy and I want to do what's right for her.
00:38:39She doesn't belong in this town and she doesn't belong in any crummy laundry.
00:38:43You know what I think?
00:38:44I think it's good for her.
00:38:45It'll toughen her up.
00:38:46She'll have plenty of muscle.
00:38:47I like a dame with a hefty wallop.
00:38:49I like her the way she is.
00:38:51I want her to stay the way she is.
00:38:54All I know, all I know is that if you don't talk to Nancy,
00:38:59Billy will kill me and if Billy kills me, I'll kill you.
00:39:06They're coming now.
00:39:11Hey, cool off.
00:39:13I won't get this hair again.
00:39:17Orchard.
00:39:20Oh, Mr. Peters, honey, how lovely.
00:39:23But you shouldn't have spent all that money just on flowers for little me.
00:39:27They cost 30 cents a bunch, but they're worth it.
00:39:30I know, honey, but I need to put them stock in so bad.
00:39:34So bad's the only way you'll get them.
00:39:37You all just don't understand.
00:39:39Don't you, Mr. Peters?
00:39:42I'm sure you'll pardon us.
00:39:44Mr. Peters and I are going to an electrical exhibition.
00:39:48What are you doing, 100 watt, teaching her how to rig a hot seat for trusty?
00:39:53You see, that's what I mean.
00:40:00I don't want you living in a place like this.
00:40:02But Mr. Peters, honey, aren't you forgetting?
00:40:04What?
00:40:05We haven't got the money yet, have we?
00:40:08No, but I'll get it.
00:40:11Oh, Mr. Peters, honey.
00:40:20I'll do everything I can.
00:40:22Of course, I can't make him see.
00:40:25I know, father, but...
00:40:26Well, it's just that he's been acting that way for weeks, and...
00:40:29I want him to know that there's hope for him.
00:40:32Please make him believe that.
00:40:34I'll have a talk with him.
00:40:37Tom Adams.
00:40:39Come with me.
00:40:40What's the charge for us?
00:40:42I guess it's called desertion.
00:41:07I'm talking about Nancy.
00:41:09Forget it.
00:41:11All right, come.
00:41:15Don't get me wrong, father, I know what she's gone through.
00:41:22Suppose if you can't get me to go out there and see her, you want to take her a message.
00:41:26All right.
00:41:28Tell her I don't care if she hangs around here the rest of her life.
00:41:31I won't see her.
00:41:33I don't care what she does.
00:41:35Tom, I don't think that girl's ever going to quit.
00:41:38She'll quit when she realizes I'm not the starry-eyed Navy boy she fell for.
00:41:42She's not in love with me anymore.
00:41:45She's just a kid all choked up with pretty ideals.
00:41:48She'd hate a guy that figures if he hadn't been fat enough to try to help his country, he wouldn't be in here.
00:41:53Tom, you'll be going out of here in a few years a free man.
00:41:57You'll want to go out into a country that's free, too.
00:42:00What do you mean?
00:42:01This morning, two hours ago, Japanese planes attacked us.
00:42:06Without warning, they bombed and killed our soldiers, sailors, and civilians.
00:42:11Right now, all over this country, 130 million people are getting ready to fight.
00:42:16Not only the Japs, but all men whose hate would destroy our country.
00:42:20Your country, too.
00:42:22They'll be fighting for your parents to come out into a free world.
00:42:29I was ready to fight for that, too.
00:42:33I still am.
00:42:35How can I?
00:42:36The important thing is that you won't.
00:42:38No.
00:42:39The important thing is that I get a chance to.
00:42:42Look, Father, there must be other men out there.
00:42:45Hundreds of men who would want to crack at those guys.
00:42:48Maybe if I talk to them.
00:42:49Get off a petition.
00:42:50Maybe they'll let us fight.
00:42:51Parole us.
00:42:58Go ahead, Tom.
00:42:59Talk to them.
00:43:00Get off your petition.
00:43:02Go on.
00:43:03Try it.
00:43:06You still want me to get back to that message?
00:43:10No, Father.
00:43:12Not now.
00:43:18You think it'll do all right?
00:43:20Why doesn't he show up?
00:43:22Take it easy, baby.
00:43:25What do you say we save these clever?
00:43:28Just give me a crack at them Japs, I'll mangle them.
00:43:44Adam?
00:43:45Yes?
00:43:48Here's the answer to your petition.
00:43:52Well, give up, baby.
00:43:53What's it say?
00:43:55In response to the petition of the Blackport prisoners,
00:43:58if they be paroled into the armed service of our nation,
00:44:01it's our considered opinion that...
00:44:05Go on, Tom.
00:44:10Here.
00:44:11Read the rest of this bilge yourself.
00:44:16Please remind these convicts that to fight our nation's enemies is a privilege.
00:44:22Restricted to free men.
00:44:24Signed John P. Malloy, Chairman, Parole Board.
00:44:26But you don't understand, Warden.
00:44:28I offered to go in the Suicide Squad.
00:44:30Listen, the Army needs us.
00:44:31We know this racket.
00:44:32It's our meat.
00:44:33Warden, you gotta make them understand.
00:44:35They're afraid we'll take a powder.
00:44:36Yeah, I was gonna take a powder.
00:44:38I'd kick a powder right down here if he don't smokestack.
00:44:41Sorry, boys, but it's not up to me.
00:44:44Let's go, guys.
00:44:46They've done suckers again, that's all.
00:44:47Wait a minute, Adam.
00:44:52The rest of you boys, too.
00:44:55I want you to know that I respect and admire your patriotism.
00:44:59It's the law.
00:45:00Your country's law.
00:45:02I'd like you men to go out of here feeling that.
00:45:04Not a chance.
00:45:05See, we're Americans, all right.
00:45:07Just like the man who wrote that letter.
00:45:09Only he's out there and we're in here.
00:45:11All right, let him do the fighting.
00:45:12Call it his America.
00:45:15Okay.
00:45:18Don't come snooglin' to us anymore with preachin' flags.
00:45:30Tom!
00:45:36Tom, what happened in there?
00:45:37What do you suppose?
00:45:38They turned us down.
00:45:39We're not good enough for them.
00:45:40Stay back.
00:45:41I'll get you out of here soon.
00:45:42I'll get out my own way and in my own time.
00:45:44He used to love you, don't you know?
00:45:46No.
00:45:47No, I don't.
00:45:48Is that clear?
00:45:49You don't have to say it.
00:45:50What happened in there?
00:45:51Get out of here and don't come back until I kill you, you see.
00:45:53Get down.
00:45:54Oh!
00:45:55Oh!
00:45:56Oh!
00:45:57Oh!
00:45:58Oh!
00:45:59Oh!
00:46:00Oh!
00:46:01Oh!
00:46:02Oh!
00:46:03Oh!
00:46:04Oh!
00:46:05Oh!
00:46:06Oh!
00:46:07Oh!
00:46:08Oh!
00:46:09Oh!
00:46:10Oh!
00:46:11Oh!
00:46:12Oh!
00:46:13Oh!
00:46:14Oh!
00:46:15Oh!
00:46:22It's a good look, lady.
00:46:24You should follow patiently.
00:46:25Oh!
00:46:27Oh!
00:46:29Oh!
00:46:35Michael Peemaloy, Madam, you see, by my calling, if I can be of service to you.
00:46:40Right away I'm busy right now. Why don't you call it my office tomorrow morning?
00:46:46I want to talk to you right now.
00:46:47Excuse me.
00:46:48It's just so uncommon to solidarity.
00:46:50It's all worth it tomorrow, doesn't it?
00:46:52Yes, it does. It's four in the morning.
00:46:55Tom's case is any day tomorrow.
00:46:56His case isn't on the calendar.
00:46:58Well, I won't take no for an answer.
00:47:00Oh, my dear Miss Johnson, these matters.
00:47:03I'm sick of you stalling your depositions in your home depositors.
00:47:08Don't call me my dear Miss Johnson.
00:47:11The meeting's at four.
00:47:14I'll be at your office at five.
00:47:24You've been calling me crazy for seven years.
00:47:26Because you're afraid.
00:47:27Because I've got a plan.
00:47:29Winnie, forget it.
00:47:31I've got it all worked out.
00:47:32I even got blueprints of the prisons.
00:47:34I've got a plan that'll work.
00:47:37All right, all right.
00:47:38But forget it.
00:47:54OK, kid.
00:47:55What's your plan?
00:47:56Spill it.
00:47:57Billy!
00:47:58Well, but you just said I didn't want her in on it.
00:48:00Go on.
00:48:01Spill it.
00:48:02Well, listen.
00:48:05Every Friday night, the freight boat comes to the jute mill.
00:48:07Well, those jute bales are big.
00:48:09They're bigger than a man's.
00:48:11Well, I meant to haul them out and get into them.
00:48:14And then they're lowered into the boat.
00:48:16And then, then when the boat's out on the river, well, don't you see?
00:48:21Gee, it might work.
00:48:23That ain't so crazy.
00:48:24That plan's a killer dealer, kid.
00:48:26Hi, Billy.
00:48:28Yeah.
00:48:31Yeah, it might work at that.
00:48:35They need somebody to run the boat.
00:48:36Oh, but that's where Tom comes in.
00:48:37He needs to make a living driving a boat.
00:48:39Tom Adderis won't be part of any prison break.
00:48:42Well, don't count on it.
00:48:44You and Tom haven't been doing much talking lately.
00:48:47Maybe he'll feel differently about it after a few months in solitary.
00:48:50Maybe.
00:48:51Maybe tomorrow he'll be out on parole.
00:48:53Parole?
00:48:54Who's been giving you a high pole?
00:48:56Listen to a girl's parole.
00:48:59Judge Malloy's before the board right now.
00:49:01He's putting Tom's case up to his brother.
00:49:03Judge Malloy is what?
00:49:05Dearie, you've been took and stayed.
00:49:07Why, he isn't even on speaking terms with his brother.
00:49:09He's a phony.
00:49:11That's not true.
00:49:13He's a great lawyer.
00:49:14He's won great cases.
00:49:16You're just saying that about him because you want to turn that on the brake.
00:49:19Poor sap.
00:49:20You've been tossed away, you dole.
00:49:22I don't want to hear anymore.
00:49:24All I know is he's at the parole board right now, pleading Tom's case.
00:49:28The only pleading he's doing is for a cripple on the cuff at Harlequin's Bar.
00:49:35Okay, kid.
00:49:36Tell me that plan again.
00:49:38Well, every Friday night, the freight boat comes through Duke Mill.
00:49:44Judge Malloy?
00:49:55Oh, Miss Johnson.
00:49:58I was just about to call you.
00:50:01Senator Malloy had to postpone the board meeting.
00:50:04The war situation.
00:50:06You see, he said...
00:50:07Yes, I see.
00:50:10You are a fake.
00:50:13Everything I've heard about you must be true.
00:50:15Oh, my dear child.
00:50:17You've been put up to this by evil intrigues.
00:50:20People who are jealous of the fact that the senator has promised a decision in your case.
00:50:25It's very easy.
00:50:28How can you be so cheap?
00:50:30How can you lie like that?
00:50:32Miss Johnson, I'll remind you, you're making bold accusations.
00:50:35And in front of my friends, too.
00:50:40All right, then.
00:50:43Goodbye, Malloy.
00:50:45Call the senator right now.
00:50:47I want to know his answer.
00:50:49All right.
00:50:50All right.
00:50:51I'm sure he's...
00:50:53I'll prove to you that he's right.
00:50:57I'll prove to you once and for all.
00:51:01There is no in front of my friend.
00:51:05I've got only Bill.
00:51:07Who's got a nickel?
00:51:11Hello?
00:51:13This is Judge Malloy.
00:51:15Yes.
00:51:16The senator's all right.
00:51:21This ought to teach you a lesson, young lady.
00:51:23Not to listen to idle and malicious gossip.
00:51:26Have a seat.
00:51:41Hello.
00:51:42Hello, John.
00:51:43Sorry to bother you again.
00:51:45No, nothing much.
00:51:47Just the Tom Adams case.
00:51:49You remember the one you were talking about today.
00:51:52Yes, that's the one.
00:51:56Splendid, John.
00:51:57Splendid.
00:51:59Thanks a million.
00:52:02There you are.
00:52:03The senator is recommending a pardon.
00:52:11Give it to him from the phone company.
00:52:18You ought to be over there behind this wall where Tom is.
00:52:26My dear young lady, our relationship has reached that delicate stage where there is no further point in lying.
00:52:33The truth is that you have no case.
00:52:37You never have had a case.
00:52:40I've misled you.
00:52:41I'm sorry.
00:52:43I'd like to be able to pay you back sometime.
00:53:00Thanks.
00:53:02Sometimes even that doesn't help.
00:53:06I just got a hot tip.
00:53:08They're getting out of solitary tomorrow.
00:53:09No.
00:53:10And the next day is visiting day.
00:53:12Do you think we need to plan our work?
00:53:13We've got to work.
00:53:14We'll bring them Friday night.
00:53:17Friday night.
00:53:20What do you mean Friday night?
00:53:23That ain't no kind of talk.
00:53:25It's a matter of time.
00:53:27I've got to get back to work.
00:53:29I've got to get back to work.
00:53:30I've got to get back to work.
00:53:31I've got to get back to work.
00:53:32I've got to get back to work.
00:53:33I've got to get back to work.
00:53:34I've got to get back to work.
00:53:36I'm talking big stuff, Monk.
00:53:38Now listen.
00:53:39What do you do Friday night?
00:53:41What do you think?
00:53:42The same old thing.
00:53:43Friday night we eat fish.
00:53:45Friday night we've got to work.
00:53:46What kind of work?
00:53:48We load the boat.
00:53:49We load the juke bales on the boat.
00:53:53They're beautiful juke bales, darling.
00:53:55They're bigger than that.
00:53:58I get it.
00:53:59Yeah, I get it.
00:54:00You're ashamed, too.
00:54:01You need one.
00:54:05Yes, darling.
00:54:06I've just got to have money.
00:54:07You can't expect me to arrange a getaway on $17 a week.
00:54:11I thought you got $18.
00:54:13What I mean is escapes cost money.
00:54:17You've just got to tell me where you hid the money, sweetheart.
00:54:20You've just got to so we can be together again.
00:54:25You've got to have a plan, Elsie.
00:54:27If anything goes wrong, I can take care of myself all right.
00:54:30I've got a knife, see?
00:54:33Remember, the plan's no good unless you get Tommy to run the boat.
00:54:35I'll get him.
00:54:36It'll break his face, but I'll get him all right.
00:54:45I seen Nancy the other time.
00:54:47Won't she agree that now she was just sitting there looking?
00:54:51Not talking.
00:54:54You know, for me, she don't have to tell him.
00:54:56You've got some baby there, Tom.
00:55:03How'd you like to see the baby, huh?
00:55:06Bust out of here Friday night?
00:55:08Oh.
00:55:14Hey, girls.
00:55:17Where you going, true love?
00:55:19Well, I was just taking something to the clinic.
00:55:22Sure.
00:55:23Chester.
00:55:24Can you imagine a poor sucker falling for a dame like that?
00:55:27More coming up.
00:55:29If you'll please let me pass.
00:55:31Well, of course, sugar.
00:55:33Let her pass, girl.
00:55:39Here's a pass for Pete.
00:55:41Oh!
00:55:44And this is for good.
00:55:45Oh!
00:55:50Oh!
00:55:51Oh!
00:55:52Oh!
00:55:53Oh!
00:55:54Oh!
00:55:55Oh!
00:55:56Oh!
00:55:57Oh!
00:55:59Oh!
00:56:00Oh!
00:56:01Oh!
00:56:02Oh!
00:56:03Oh!
00:56:04Oh!
00:56:05Oh!
00:56:06Oh!
00:56:07Oh!
00:56:08What's going on?
00:56:09Oh.
00:56:10Oh, nothing.
00:56:11Gwen just went south.
00:56:12Oh, good.
00:56:24I feel kind of skunky not telling him about the break.
00:56:28I'm going to give us away, little Miss Innocent still believes in blows and pardons.
00:56:32Maybe Gwen forgot her sugar rationing book.
00:56:40Where's Gwen?
00:56:41Why, Mr. Peters, honey.
00:56:42Well, where's Gwen?
00:56:43It's a matter of life and death.
00:56:44She's throwing this witch on you.
00:56:45She's gone.
00:56:46Oh, now, if this is no time for kidding.
00:56:47Where's Gwen?
00:56:48She's got to be here.
00:56:49I got the company's money all mixed up.
00:56:50And the darn auditors are checking up to her, and I expected them to.
00:56:54And she was just holding the money.
00:56:58Well, aren't you so?
00:56:59Hotshot, you're a walking corpse.
00:57:01Your bribes parlaying your $300 into $60,000.
00:57:09Oh!
00:57:18There she is, girls.
00:57:22Just eight more hours and she'll be pulling away from the dock with a load of our guys.
00:57:27My stomach feels like a bunch of mango.
00:57:29I ate too much.
00:57:30One good thing.
00:57:31After tonight, no more laundry.
00:57:33Me and my guy will do all right for himself when we send out the water.
00:57:37It's going to be swell for Mrs. Barton, too.
00:57:40You mean her husband's in it?
00:57:41Sure.
00:57:42Mom felt sorry for the old man and let him in on it.
00:57:44Well, back to the clink, girls.
00:57:48Tracer?
00:57:49Yes, ma'am.
00:57:54Come on, Nancy.
00:57:55News can wait.
00:57:56The dirty clothes go on forever.
00:58:13Mrs. Barton, I'm afraid I have to ask you to come with me.
00:58:17Something's happened to Joseph.
00:58:19Joseph.
00:58:23Joseph, it's Maria.
00:58:30Maria.
00:58:32Maria.
00:58:33Joseph.
00:58:34No, no, something has happened.
00:58:38We're together now.
00:58:39That's all.
00:58:40It's over.
00:58:41It's over.
00:58:42It's over.
00:58:43It's over.
00:58:44It's over.
00:58:45It's over.
00:58:46It's over.
00:58:47It's over.
00:58:49It's over.
00:58:50It's all that matters.
00:58:51I was just trying to tell them.
00:58:54Tell them what, Joseph?
00:58:57The break.
00:58:58They wanted me to join them.
00:59:00I told them what happened to me.
00:59:03They wouldn't listen to me, Maria.
00:59:05I was going to the warden to tell him,
00:59:08please, Maria, before it's too late,
00:59:10tell the warden to stop them.
00:59:16Who are they, Joseph?
00:59:18I am... Monk... He...
00:59:23Yes, John.
00:59:26Tom...
00:59:28Tell the warden Maria, please, Maria.
00:59:49God...
00:59:51I didn't get what I wanted.
01:00:02Every day I loved you.
01:00:06Every day of my life.
01:00:10Left of you, Joffrey.
01:00:13Every day...
01:00:15Left of my life.
01:00:18God...
01:00:21You're hot.
01:00:22No, I ain't been. I'll just go cool off a few minutes.
01:01:19Joseph is dead.
01:01:21Stabbed in the back.
01:01:22Get back!
01:01:23I don't want your sympathy.
01:01:25Joseph was almost stabbed in the prison wall for trying to stop your crazy break.
01:01:28The rat. No wonder they knifed him.
01:01:29He was trying to save them. And they killed him.
01:01:31And even then, when he was dying, even then he wanted to help them.
01:01:35He asked me to go to the warden.
01:01:36Did you?
01:01:37Why didn't you tell him?
01:01:38I told him nothing.
01:01:39You know why?
01:01:40Because I want that break to happen.
01:01:42Because I know it'll save her.
01:01:43You're my second daughter, Debbie.
01:01:45I'm talking to you too.
01:01:46Don't look so innocent.
01:01:47You're the worst of them all.
01:01:49You and your innocence.
01:01:50Pretending you wouldn't mix in a break.
01:01:53What break?
01:01:54Take it easy, kid.
01:01:55And when it's all over,
01:01:56don't let any of you come crying to me because I'm through with you.
01:01:59With all the sympathy,
01:02:00and help and love by the school not to waste on you.
01:02:03What break?
01:02:04At nine o'clock. We were going to tell you later.
01:02:06He's in it all right.
01:02:08Joff?
01:02:09Now take it easy, kid.
01:02:11Let me go.
01:02:12You go to the warden.
01:02:14Get out of my way.
01:02:16Don't be a fool.
01:02:17They'll give Tom extra time just for planning this break.
01:02:20And our guys too.
01:02:21You sing to the warden,
01:02:22and come and wake up with a knife in his back.
01:02:26This is Blarton.
01:02:27Get out of here.
01:02:31Is somebody getting a doctor?
01:02:34Why don't you call the warden if you want to stop it?
01:02:37No.
01:02:38Why come to me?
01:02:39Because if you only give the case to your brother,
01:02:41we can still save Tom.
01:02:42Oh, you haven't got a case.
01:02:44Read that and tell me we haven't got one.
01:02:46Read it.
01:02:48Mexico nears war.
01:02:50Good, more the merrier.
01:02:52Oh, no.
01:02:53This.
01:02:54Antipansiatic socks.
01:02:56Another one, huh?
01:02:58Fish won't have elbow room to swim anymore.
01:03:02Blarton, don't you remember?
01:03:04The antipansiatic was for both of Tom's faults.
01:03:07Oh, there was.
01:03:09There was an antipansiatic.
01:03:16You mean there was an antipansiatic?
01:03:19It was also inside our Mexican gunboat.
01:03:24The lady knew we hadn't got a case.
01:03:27A whale of a case.
01:03:29Then plead it with your brother.
01:03:33He wouldn't listen.
01:03:34Make him listen.
01:03:35He won't even see me.
01:03:36Make him see you.
01:03:37I'll go with you.
01:03:40Oh, I don't know.
01:03:41I mean, I think it's too late.
01:03:44I...
01:03:46I don't think it's in me.
01:03:48Come on, Judge.
01:03:50Look, you're kind of a...
01:03:52You've got a cause now.
01:03:53The kind of a cause that made you great once.
01:03:54It made you a great fighter.
01:03:57Booze fighter.
01:03:58Liar.
01:03:59Fake.
01:04:00Everything you said I was.
01:04:03You will be a liar and a fake if you turn me down now.
01:04:07You'll be sending an innocent man by letting him break the law for the first time.
01:04:11I've fought for the underdog in my time.
01:04:15I won all the lost causes.
01:04:19Lost my own.
01:04:21Go out and win it back.
01:04:24You won't only be fighting for Tom Adams, you'll be fighting for yourself.
01:04:27I can't face the risk of losing him.
01:04:36I can't face the risk of losing him.
01:04:51Bloody, bloody poor man.
01:05:06Mr. Johnson.
01:05:08Mr. Johnson.
01:05:10You know my orders, Mr. Malloy.
01:05:12But he's got to see us.
01:05:13I'm sorry, Mrs. Inslee.
01:05:16Mr. Malloy.
01:05:18Malloy.
01:05:20Gentlemen, the Alaskan situation brought us down to this.
01:05:25It's serious, but not grave.
01:05:28I'm afraid it's too late.
01:05:31I'm afraid it's too late.
01:05:34It's serious, but not grave.
01:05:37The question is, what does this Senate Parole Committee bring back to Washington?
01:05:42Now, since I told you that I was never to be admitted, well, he didn't admit me.
01:05:46I pushed my way in.
01:05:50You'll save yourself and me a lot of embarrassment if you'll turn right around and walk out.
01:05:53You came here for my sake.
01:05:55I'm here for my own sake.
01:05:56Please, Mr. Malloy, there's trouble at the prison.
01:05:58You're the only man who can stop it.
01:06:00What kind of trouble?
01:06:01A break at nine o'clock.
01:06:02Give me the facts and the men involved, and I'll call the warden.
01:06:04Oh, no!
01:06:05Her young man, Tom Adams, is in it.
01:06:07He's the key man in the break.
01:06:09I came here to talk for him.
01:06:11What's there to talk about?
01:06:12He'll have to take his medicine like the others.
01:06:15Listen, John.
01:06:16I haven't tried a case in years.
01:06:19But I've got a case to plead now.
01:06:21A case that he would want me to plead.
01:06:24Hear me out.
01:06:25Then if you want to call the warden to ruin more years of Tom Adams' life, you still have time.
01:06:30We've got some pretty important work to do here, Malloy.
01:06:33I don't care how important it is.
01:06:35A man's life is at stake.
01:06:37Well, we're concerned with the safety of 130 million lives.
01:06:40We're at war, Michael.
01:06:42Or haven't you come out of your saloon long enough to find that out?
01:06:45Yes, I've come out of my saloon long enough to find out a lot of things.
01:06:50Do you know what we're fighting for?
01:06:52Michael!
01:06:54I repeat.
01:06:55Do you know what we're fighting for?
01:06:58I know why I am.
01:07:00For the right to my bottle.
01:07:02To sit around in a corner saloon.
01:07:05Yes, I stand up like you on the 4th of July and sing.
01:07:08Oh, say, does that star spangled banner still wave?
01:07:12Wave over what?
01:07:14Over my booze.
01:07:16That's why I sing.
01:07:18But I'm only a drunken sod.
01:07:20A disgrace to my country.
01:07:24Over what does it wave for you?
01:07:26Just what do you want, Michael?
01:07:28The thing we're fighting for on the seven seas and five continents.
01:07:32The thing we're overlooking here at home.
01:07:34Justice.
01:07:35What's that got to do with a break?
01:07:36Get to your point.
01:07:39Tom Adams was jailed six months ago.
01:07:42He was convicted on the strength of a non-existing boat.
01:07:46The SS Hanseatic.
01:07:48This phantom boat, this figment of the imagination, has now become tangible, gentlemen.
01:07:57The Frenchman's Twin Diesels.
01:08:10See a motor?
01:08:11The Frenchman's Twin Diesels.
01:08:13A kid could run it.
01:08:14Good, baby, good.
01:08:23Not that one, Chester.
01:08:24Not that one.
01:08:25Oh.
01:08:27Oh.
01:08:35If this stays true, you have grounds for an appeal.
01:08:37Fine, and days, weeks, months will go by.
01:08:40Let's think in minutes.
01:08:42Now, 8.45 at 9, Tom Adams will make that break.
01:08:45All I need to do is to phone the warden and he'll stop it.
01:08:47By implicating Adams.
01:08:49By making him commit his first crime in the noble name of legal procedure.
01:08:53You're asking me to cover up a crime.
01:08:55The real crime is that Tom Adams was sent to jail in the first place.
01:08:59And if you let him make this break, you'll be as responsible as he is.
01:09:04You don't know what you're saying, Michael.
01:09:16Take it easy.
01:09:17You got the zippers as bad as Chester's.
01:09:19Oh, I'm all right.
01:09:23Monk.
01:09:24What?
01:09:25Did he know about Joe Barton?
01:09:26No.
01:09:27Listen, Monk, I had to do it, see?
01:09:28I had to knife the old guy.
01:09:29He's a tall...
01:09:30Shut up.
01:09:38See, Tom Adams, John.
01:09:40Now, this minute, let him know the singing glory of the just word freely given.
01:09:46Let him walk once more among his fellows, a free man in a free land.
01:09:52Long before that black day of December 7th, that boy sensed his country's peril.
01:09:59He was ready to leave his job and his girl.
01:10:06And she was ready to let him go because she knew that was the way it had to be.
01:10:12He never went.
01:10:14An innocent man, he was shot away.
01:10:18The day the enemy struck, he volunteered again.
01:10:21The answer was no.
01:10:24Twice denied.
01:10:25Don't deny him again.
01:10:28I don't know.
01:10:29I only had time.
01:10:30Time, time, time.
01:10:33Ten years ago, when Hirohito marched into Manchuria, we could have knocked his big teeth down his throat with a backhand slap.
01:10:40But China was far away.
01:10:42We had time.
01:10:44Six years ago, when Hitler marched into the Rhineland, we could have put him in a lunatic asylum.
01:10:49But the Rhineland was far away, too.
01:10:51Again, we had time.
01:10:56I know what you're thinking, that these are big things and Tom Adams is small.
01:11:01Only one ordinary American.
01:11:04But he's part of this country and a part of you.
01:11:09When he dies, part of America dies with him.
01:11:17Before nine o'clock, you must decide if he's worth fighting for.
01:11:23♪♪
01:11:51Come with me.
01:11:53♪♪
01:12:04Stop that work.
01:12:05Everybody out of sight.
01:12:12Tough luck, eh, baby?
01:12:13Just a month.
01:12:14We've got to try it anyway.
01:12:15No, we won't.
01:12:16We won't work without him.
01:12:17Well, what if he talks?
01:12:18What if he talks about Tupac?
01:12:20Yeah, that's why they took him out of here.
01:12:22To put the finger on me.
01:12:24♪♪
01:12:42It's not nine o'clock yet.
01:12:45We have to go home.
01:12:49What do we do now?
01:12:52I don't know about you, but I'm getting out of here.
01:12:54For good.
01:12:55♪♪
01:12:59Tom.
01:13:02Tom, you're free.
01:13:05You're going to be free.
01:13:07You're the best lawyer in the house of Malloy.
01:13:09Thank you, Sylvie.
01:13:15Now I was about a little drink on the house.
01:13:23What do you want, dearie?
01:13:24What do I say about the room?
01:13:26I'm sorry, dearie.
01:13:27There ain't no room.
01:13:28We're all moving.
01:13:29There ain't no one left to handle the house.
01:13:31Sylvie!
01:13:32Why don't you tell them to inspect our room?
01:13:35I thought you went.
01:13:36Well, I'm back.
01:13:37Somebody's got to keep you dancin' going off the deep end.
01:13:40Go on, go on, go on.
01:13:41Show them my room.
01:13:42I'm taking Mrs. Barton.
01:13:44If I'm digging in for the duration, I might as well do it in style.
01:13:54Don't be frightened.
01:13:56Everything will be all right.
01:13:58I've been here for seven and a half years waiting for George.
01:14:03You see, I know all the rules.
01:14:06I can help you, or I'll let us be friends.
01:14:37I'm sorry.
01:14:38I'm sorry.
01:14:39I'm sorry.
01:14:40I'm sorry.
01:14:41I'm sorry.
01:14:42I'm sorry.
01:14:43I'm sorry.
01:14:44I'm sorry.
01:14:45I'm sorry.
01:14:46I'm sorry.
01:14:47I'm sorry.
01:14:48I'm sorry.
01:14:49I'm sorry.
01:14:50I'm sorry.
01:14:51I'm sorry.
01:14:52I'm sorry.
01:14:53I'm sorry.
01:14:54I'm sorry.
01:14:55I'm sorry.
01:14:56I'm sorry.
01:14:57I'm sorry.
01:14:58I'm sorry.
01:14:59I'm sorry.
01:15:00I'm sorry.
01:15:01I'm sorry.
01:15:02I'm sorry.
01:15:03I'm sorry.
01:15:04I'm sorry.
