00:01:53Oh, Nicky, look out at that big plane.
00:02:03Hope that guy's got sense enough to stay away till we get down.
00:02:06That's what I'm going to be doing Sunday, Mary.
00:02:08Driving one of those sky trains.
00:02:10Let's go down and watch it land.
00:02:23Don't worry about me, young woman. I've had as many hours in the air as you.
00:02:33Cheers, boys!
00:02:35People want to get out.
00:02:37Well, come right over here.
00:02:39No one wants to see that.
00:02:41Tell her, none of that stringing violet stuff.
00:02:43You're a public figure.
00:02:45Take my mother-in-law. She's wearing very latest.
00:02:48Don't rub it in. I got tired of changing styles years ago.
00:02:52Who's got a cigarette around here?
00:02:53Right here.
00:02:54I bought an entire new wardrobe in New York, didn't you, Mrs. Governor?
00:02:56Well, I bought this hat.
00:02:57Wouldn't wear it on Halloween.
00:03:02Oh, Nicky, look.
00:03:05Gentleman of that's a rescue mate's hat.
00:03:11That's yours, I hope.
00:03:12Smart boy, Elkins.
00:03:14This hat happens to belong to the Governor's wife.
00:03:16Oh, the Governor's wife.
00:03:18Hey!
00:03:19Got a very important engagement.
00:03:23Thanks so much.
00:03:24I remember being told once, never chase your own hat.
00:03:27Someone else will always get it for you.
00:03:29May I have it? What's left of it?
00:03:30Oh, pardon me, Mrs. Governor.
00:03:32Will you hold my bag?
00:03:34Hold the mirror, so I can see.
00:03:36All right.
00:03:37Thanks.
00:03:38You all right?
00:03:39If I may say so, Mrs. Bancroft, that's a swell hat.
00:03:42You really like it?
00:03:43Uh-huh.
00:03:44My mother-in-law doesn't.
00:03:45Looks like a souffle.
00:03:46That's a knockout.
00:03:47Hold that pose.
00:03:48Will you please, Mrs. Governor?
00:03:49With a kid?
00:03:50Now I can see why you want to take a picture.
00:03:53Now just hold it.
00:03:54Nicky, straighten your tar.
00:03:57My girl.
00:03:58Mary Rayburn of the nightclubs.
00:03:59Just one quickman.
00:04:01Thank you, Miss Wayburn.
00:04:02It's all right.
00:04:03She'll hate me.
00:04:04Oh, no she won't.
00:04:05I don't think anybody could do that, Mrs. Governor.
00:04:07Thank you for that.
00:04:08And for getting my hat.
00:04:09Oh, thank you.
00:04:10Come along, Kate.
00:04:11John will be waiting for us.
00:04:12Just a moment.
00:04:13One of the Governor's mother, please.
00:04:15Oh.
00:04:16Uh, wait a minute.
00:04:17This is my good side.
00:04:18All right, now hold it.
00:04:21Goodbye again, and thanks for picking up my hat.
00:04:24Bye.
00:04:25Have you anything to say when you're in New York, Mr. Bancroft?
00:04:28The Governor's wife.
00:04:29Wasn't she swell?
00:04:30I suppose there'll be no holding it
00:04:32else she's been photographed for the Governor's lady.
00:04:34Oh, but she was class.
00:04:36I mean real class.
00:04:37She likes you, too.
00:04:38Oh.
00:04:39Just a lady killer.
00:04:40That's what I am.
00:04:41Vicki Elkins, ace, pilot, and lady killer.
00:04:43Don't let her throw you, big boy.
00:04:45There's only one thing throws me.
00:04:47Look at that.
00:04:49That.
00:04:50It throws me flat.
00:04:51Flat at the feet of a certain party.
00:04:57He's in, isn't he, Craig?
00:04:58He's in his office, Mrs. Governor.
00:05:00Oh, I'm glad of that.
00:05:01Come, Kate.
00:05:02I'm sorry, but he's busy.
00:05:03Don't be sorry, Craig.
00:05:04A Governor should be busy.
00:05:05Yes, ma'am, but...
00:05:06We haven't seen him for one whole week.
00:05:08And we're going to see him now.
00:05:10Who's he talking to?
00:05:11The Angel Gabriel?
00:05:12No, ma'am.
00:05:13He's talking to the press.
00:05:14Only the press.
00:05:15Only the press.
00:05:16Only the press.
00:05:17But they're all very anxious to hear the Governor's intention.
00:05:19We told them both in his inauguration speech.
00:05:21But now he's begun fulfilling them.
00:05:23And the reporters want to be assured that he needs to carry out his policy.
00:05:26The battle is on, you know.
00:05:28And we'll all go over the top together.
00:05:30Mother dear, you know, I really am busy.
00:05:33How have things been going?
00:05:35Oh, well...
00:05:36I must have a look at you.
00:05:37Now come along, kitten.
00:05:39We really are intruding.
00:05:40Just a moment.
00:05:41I want to tell these gentlemen something.
00:05:44Anything my son says, you can depend upon.
00:05:47He's a born fighter and not easily licked.
00:05:52Well, that sounds like a little bragging, doesn't it, gentlemen?
00:05:57Well, to repeat.
00:06:00I promised as Governor to drive these men out of power.
00:06:04They're certainly sore, Mr. Governor.
00:06:06One or two of them boast of political protection.
00:06:09They may be able to control votes.
00:06:12But I don't think they can control me.
00:06:15Have you an appointment, sir?
00:06:18Just pretend you don't see me, my good man.
00:06:20I'm invisible.
00:06:21Just a spirit hovering in the halls of the governor's mansion.
00:06:24But the governor's busy, sir.
00:06:26That's all right.
00:06:27I'll wait.
00:06:28Your name is...
00:06:29The name is Gordon.
00:06:31But you'll have to see the governor's secretary, sir.
00:06:34I made my promise to the people to rid the state of these men
00:06:37and what they stand for.
00:06:39And I'll drive out the racketeer if it's the last thing I do.
00:06:44I'm afraid that's all the time I can give you today, gentlemen.
00:06:48Good afternoon.
00:06:49Real gift for expression, hasn't he, Arnold Governor?
00:06:52Thank you, Governor.
00:06:53Come on, boys, let's go.
00:06:54Come on, boys.
00:06:55He's a sure one fellow.
00:06:56Afternoon, boys.
00:06:57Been listening to fables?
00:06:58Hey, how'd you get in here, Gordon?
00:07:00Don't be disrespectful.
00:07:02Well, how do you like that?
00:07:05All that truth and beauty talk from his excellence into the press
00:07:07and in walks the biggest crook in the state.
00:07:16Mr. Governor?
00:07:17Who let you in here?
00:07:19I felt obliged to pay a personal call on the governor.
00:07:22That's all right, Peg.
00:07:24I haven't met you before, have I, Gordon?
00:07:27I regret saying you haven't.
00:07:29We might make up for that delay, Mr. Governor.
00:07:31Well, what's it about?
00:07:34Well, first I want to tell you that I feel slighted.
00:07:37I couldn't help but overhear a little of your talk to the press boys.
00:07:41You might have referred to me personally in that.
00:07:44Give the devil his due, you know.
00:07:46Call him by his right name.
00:07:47Now hurry up, Gordon.
00:07:48Say what you've got to say.
00:07:50Mancroft, you're making a mistake.
00:07:53You realize, I hope, that my machine helped to elect you.
00:07:57All that pre-election chatter about honesty, I took for campaign talk.
00:08:02Oh, who did you?
00:08:04But now you're showing off.
00:08:06Public's beginning to take you seriously in this purity racket.
00:08:09Well, I've given them cause.
00:08:11Yes, you have.
00:08:12And I'm here to tell you that I don't like it.
00:08:15You hear that?
00:08:17I don't like it.
00:08:20Gordon, you've got a finger in every inch of dirt throughout this state.
00:08:25Your crooked racing.
00:08:27Your gambling joints.
00:08:29Your traffic in every kind of vice promotion have made you a rich man.
00:08:34But you're a dishonest and a corrupt man.
00:08:37And you can't stay in this state while I'm sitting here in this office.
00:08:42I can count on that?
00:08:43Hmm.
00:08:44Oh, yes.
00:08:45You can count on that.
00:08:46Then you can count on this.
00:08:48Before you get much further in this big crusade of yours, you're going to regret it.
00:08:53I can stop you any time I want to.
00:08:57I'll talk to you over, Gordon.
00:08:59You might think so.
00:09:01But just remember, if you keep this up, you're going to be looking around for a hole.
00:09:07And it'll be so deep, it'll hide you for the rest of your life.
00:09:14Good day, Mr. Governor.
00:09:16Well, well.
00:09:29How do you do, Mrs. Governor?
00:09:31Yes, I've just paid my first visit to your husband.
00:09:46This is very different from old times, isn't it?
00:09:49I trust you won't find our little city too dull for you?
00:09:53But if you should and want a touch of nightlife, come down to Club Gordon.
00:09:57That's my name now.
00:09:59Gordon.
00:10:02Goodbye.
00:10:27Hi, Pete.
00:10:32Okay, Nicky.
00:10:33We are here yet?
00:10:35Inside.
00:10:36Meet you by a couple of minutes.
00:10:57Mr. Elkett.
00:11:14I've missed you.
00:11:15I've missed you.
00:11:16I haven't seen you since Wade last night.
00:11:18Now listen, you two turtle doves, I know love is grand, but we're rehearsing.
00:11:22So am I.
00:11:24I want you to hear my new song.
00:11:26If it's half as sweet as your smile, it's a symphony.
00:11:29Well, come on, Dave.
00:11:30Let's hear it.
00:11:37Someday, we'll meet again.
00:11:44And life will be so sweet again.
00:11:47Wherever you travel, no matter how far, I'll follow my heart to wherever you are.
00:12:00Somewhere, when dreams come true, I'll be right there with you.
00:12:15I bet you will.
00:12:17Some sweet tomorrow, I don't know where or when, but someday, we'll meet again.
00:12:34You like it?
00:12:35Oh, it's swell.
00:12:36But it says it's true, too.
00:12:38Oh, I know.
00:12:39It's just a song with words to fit it, but...
00:12:43Oh, Mary, I wish...
00:12:46Hello, kid.
00:12:47Hi, sport.
00:12:48How's Romeo?
00:12:49You two rehearsing the balcony scene again?
00:12:51Again?
00:12:52You mean yet?
00:12:53This is getting un-put-uppable.
00:12:54Well, you can understand it, I suppose.
00:12:56Look at these two.
00:12:57A couple of Rafelson's angels.
00:12:59Would it be out of order to do a little rehearsing around here?
00:13:01The boys have families to support, and I have to eat, too.
00:13:04Oh, well, not necessarily, but go ahead.
00:13:07Come on, Mary, let's have an audition.
00:13:09I've got a sponsor for you.
00:13:10The makers of noiseless soup spoons.
00:13:13And if you're okay, I'll give you the famous old,
00:13:15all right, all right.
00:13:17Okay, Major.
00:13:18You two go and sit at the table and see how it sounds.
00:13:22Okay, master.
00:13:23You're going your way, I'm going mine.
00:13:36When skies are stormy, the sun can shine.
00:13:46But when the dark clouds disappear,
00:13:53A brighter day will find us here together.
00:14:07Some day we'll meet again
00:14:16And life will be so sweet again
00:14:22Wherever you travel, no matter how far
00:14:30I'll follow my heart
00:14:33I'll follow my heart
00:14:35To wherever you are
00:14:40Somewhere
00:14:45When dreams come true
00:14:49I'll be right there
00:14:52Where my love will be
00:14:57Some sweet tomorrow
00:15:02I don't know when, nor when
00:15:09But someday

00:22:37Don't ask me.
00:22:38I couldn't pick an apple and an orchard.
00:22:39Tough race, huh?
00:22:41They're all tough.
00:22:42I don't think so.
00:22:43No?
00:22:44There's seven horses in the race, and all you have to do is to pick the six losers to find the winner.
00:22:48That's how I do it.
00:22:50That's a good system.
00:22:52What are you betting on?
00:22:54Brown boy, I think.
00:22:55I ain't got a chance.
00:22:57First time out this season.
00:22:58That's right.
00:22:59He ain't been in a race since last year.
00:23:01Fine.
00:23:02Then he won't be tired.
00:23:04Say, just look at the price that Buck Gordon gave.
00:23:07Six to five on a ten to one shot.
00:23:09He must think everybody's a lollipop.
00:23:11You mean a sucker.
00:23:12Same thing.
00:23:13Only a lollipop he lasts long.
00:23:15Six to five's a good price on Fallen Angel.
00:23:17Class of the field, he'll walk in.
00:23:19That's what I'm afraid of.
00:23:20Better he'll run a little.
00:23:22Uh, to the rumble to look out at the road.
00:23:38Race is on, boys.
00:23:39At the three quarters.
00:23:51Butter nut by a length.
00:23:54Black star a half length.
00:23:57Last three lengths.
00:24:03Into the stretch.
00:24:04Flash wins.
00:24:13Black star place.
00:24:16And butter nut show.
00:24:17And I go out and jump the odds on them nags that didn't show.
00:24:20What's the matter?
00:24:21Getting soft in the head?
00:24:22Hurry up.
00:24:23How's that clock out there running?
00:24:24Three minutes slow as usual.
00:24:26Keeping perfect time.
00:24:27Make the odds on those duds good and long.
00:24:29Got a little balancing.
00:24:30Too many winners today in the earlier races.
00:24:32I'll see how high I can count.
00:24:33Tell Nicky to attend to that.
00:24:35Okay.
00:24:40Shut the door, Sicardi.
00:24:43Didn't I tell you there was a pinch to smash those machines before the cops got to them?
00:24:47But, boss, when they pinched to my joint, I was not there.
00:24:50Where were you?
00:24:50In the church.
00:24:51Oh, praying for more suckers, huh?
00:24:53Oh, nothing like that, boss.
00:24:55You see, my brother-in-law died.
00:24:56So I go to the big funeral.
00:24:58I was a polar bear.
00:24:59Oh, yeah?
00:25:00You've not met at me because I was a polar bear.
00:25:03Oh, that's all right.
00:25:03I'll be doing the same thing for you in a couple of days.
00:25:06What?
00:25:07Ladies and gentlemen, the Longmeadow's handicapped.
00:25:10You've got two minutes to place your bets.
00:25:12Now, don't get char out of this race.
00:25:14Nice here, huh?
00:25:36Say, look at those odds on Fallen Angel.
00:25:38Thirty to one.
00:25:39Why don't you play it?
00:25:40I would if I had my relief check.
00:25:42I was told to bet on Flash.
00:25:43Flash is a dog.
00:25:45Don't do it.
00:25:46Thirty to one on Fallen Angel.
00:25:48Must be a mistake.
00:25:50Nobody makes mistakes around here.
00:25:52Only the players.
00:25:53All right, switch her in.
00:25:54Here comes a broadcast direct from the track.
00:26:02There's your cue.
00:26:03Get busy.
00:26:06Ladies and gentlemen,
00:26:07here we are on the grandstand for the Longmeadow's handicapped.
00:26:10Better not by a length.
00:26:12Black star or half length.
00:26:14Flash three length.
00:26:16At the mile,
00:26:17position's unchanged.
00:26:18Into the stretch.
00:26:20Still buttoned up by a length.
00:26:22Black star coming fast on the inside.
00:26:25Flash running on the outside.
00:26:27Picking up.
00:26:28Flash moving up fast.
00:26:29This race has been over for five minutes.
00:26:31I've got it on a straight wire.
00:26:33So, that's the way he's pulling it.
00:26:35Coming fast to the wire.
00:26:37Flash by a head.
00:26:38By the low down.
00:26:39Black star one half.
00:26:40Oh, and buddy nut.
00:26:42Look at that.
00:26:44Not a nickel left.
00:26:46Five hundred bucks.
00:26:48You ought to have a cop and examine that head of yours.
00:26:51I only lost 450.
00:26:53You always were lucky.
00:26:55Buck.
00:26:55Buck, it's happening.
00:26:56Well, what is it?
00:26:58Come on, talk straight.
00:26:59Powell.
00:26:59Powell's out there with another dick.
00:27:01Powell?
00:27:02Yeah, Powell.
00:27:03Governor Bancroft's pet watchdog.
00:27:05It's time to scram, Buck.
00:27:06Well, then scram.
00:27:07Buck, you can't run your business from behind them 30-foot-strong walls.
00:27:10Don't worry, I won't have to.
00:27:13Buck, it's caught up with this.
00:27:14Powell had his eye on that clock.
00:27:16Come on out there and sweep up the windows on that handicap.
00:27:19Go on.
00:27:26Hello, Powell.
00:27:30Hello, Gordon.
00:27:32Just drop in to see how we're getting along?
00:27:34Yeah, that's right.
00:27:35Well, we're getting along fine.
00:27:37Just tell that to the governor.
00:27:38Very interesting clock out there in that other room.
00:27:43Oh, mountain time, eh?
00:27:45Just a clock, not a fine antique or anything like that?
00:27:48Well, it keeps antique time, doesn't it, Gordon?
00:27:51Not that I know of.
00:27:52Then you don't know that it's running three minutes slow.
00:27:55You're wise, Powell.
00:27:57So what?
00:27:58I thought you'd like to know that your nice little plant here is going to be for rent.
00:28:02And so are all your other dives, too.
00:28:05Thanks for the tip-off.
00:28:07Is that all?
00:28:07Well, yes, that's all.
00:28:11My compliments to the governor and my congratulations.
00:28:15Thanks.
00:28:26Hello, Mary.
00:28:29Hello, sport.
00:28:30Where's Nick?
00:28:31Right here.
00:28:32No.
00:28:33He's always in here at this time.
00:28:35Haven't you seen him tonight?
00:28:37No, I ain't.
00:28:38I'm worried about him.
00:28:40You don't have to worry about Nicky.
00:28:42He can take care of himself.
00:28:44He looks boat ways when he crosses the street.
00:28:47Yes, but so much could happen.
00:28:49Ah, the luxury of having somebody worry about you.
00:28:53He'll show up fat and sassy.
00:28:55You've got to hurry up now.
00:28:57You're going pretty quick.
00:28:58Mm-hmm.
00:28:58You sure look nice.
00:29:16Yes, sir.
00:29:16Thanks, Ray.
00:29:19Some of that scent.
00:29:25You still smell lovely, Mr. Gordon.
00:29:27You like it?
00:29:29Here, have some yourself.
00:29:30Sandy makes them prove it.
00:29:37You're telling me.
00:29:47Mary.
00:29:48Mary.
00:29:49Nicky.
00:29:50Darling, I fell into.
00:29:52Where'd you been?
00:29:53Oh, walking.
00:29:56Walking?
00:29:57Where?
00:29:58Around.
00:29:59Something's bothering you.
00:30:02What's Buck been after you, Rick?
00:30:05Nothing.
00:30:07Nicky.
00:30:08Tell him.
00:30:09I can't.
00:30:11Oh.
00:30:12That sounds pretty bad.
00:30:16Mary.
00:30:18Is there any reason why...
00:30:19Any reason for what?
00:30:21Well, why Buck can tell you what to do.
00:30:24When you have to stay and when you can go.
00:30:27No, of course not.
00:30:29How can you ask me?
00:30:31I don't know.
00:30:32So many things going on in my head, it makes me screwy.
00:30:37Nicky.
00:30:39I must go now, but...
00:30:41Don't have bad thoughts.
00:30:44Ever about me.
00:30:46You're going your way, I'm going mine.
00:31:04You're going your way, I'm going mine.
00:31:14When skies are strong, the sun can shine.
00:31:22But when the dark clouds disappear.
00:31:28Oh, you're here.
00:31:30Mary's been having the jitters about you.
00:31:32Isn't this the night you used to pick up Doyle and have jockey?
00:31:35Did you do it?
00:31:36Look at her, okay?
00:31:38Isn't she swell?
00:31:39Oh, I would love to see.
00:31:44Oh, I'm sorry.
00:31:45I'm sorry.
00:31:46If I can't hear you, I'm going to see.
00:31:47We'll meet again
00:31:52And life will be so sweet again
00:31:59Wherever you travel
00:32:03No matter how far
00:32:07I'll follow my heart
00:32:12Wherever you are
00:32:17Yeah?
00:32:20Come in
00:32:20Where is he?
00:32:26Who?
00:32:27Nicky
00:32:28You tell me he didn't show up?
00:32:29No
00:32:30You talked to him?
00:32:31I ain't seen a herd of him since I talked in the office here
00:32:33I'll fix him
00:32:35And I've been hanging around all night with that jockey
00:32:38I don't know where you're going
00:32:44That's me
00:32:46But someday
00:32:50We'll meet again
00:32:59You want me?
00:33:04Nicky around?
00:33:05Just come in
00:33:06Pick him up here
00:33:08He wants to see you
00:33:19No, I want to hear this
00:33:21You'd better go
00:33:22He means it
00:33:22Wherever you travel
00:33:28No matter how far
00:33:32Life will follow my heart
00:33:37To wherever you are
00:33:41Well, you didn't do it, did you?
00:33:52You mean I don't squirm
00:33:53You didn't meet Doyle
00:33:55No
00:33:56You won't be wanting me now, will you, Buck?
00:33:59No
00:33:59Something I want to tell you about Mary
00:34:08You're not going to tell me anything about anything
00:34:10You're going to listen to me now
00:34:11No, you listen to me
00:34:12I'm getting out of here
00:34:13Not to do anything you put me up to
00:34:15You don't tell me
00:34:16I've had enough of what you live in
00:34:18And you can't keep me in it any longer
00:34:20Oh, those ambitions of yours
00:34:22Are just sweeping you off your feet, aren't they?
00:34:25You're going to walk out on me now
00:34:26You great fella
00:34:27Somebody important
00:34:28Somebody big
00:34:29Somebody decent, yeah
00:34:31And try and stop me
00:34:32Like the better classes, don't you?
00:34:34Well, I'll tell you this
00:34:35I feel cheap
00:34:36Cheap and dirty
00:34:37When I have to talk to people that are straight
00:34:38Living decent, honest lives
00:34:40That's a lad
00:34:42The people that are straight
00:34:44Well, point them out to me
00:34:46Show me
00:34:47I know them when I meet them
00:34:48Oh, just instinct
00:34:50Kind calling to kind
00:34:52You're forgetting where you came from, aren't you?
00:34:58And you were tougher than the others
00:35:00That's why I picked you
00:35:02I've been tough ever since you took over
00:35:06I was tough before, maybe
00:35:07But I'm not now
00:35:09Oh, yes
00:35:10You're a dirty little mealy-mouthed double-crosser
00:35:12That's getting too big for his pants
00:35:13So now I'm going to put you in your place
00:35:15So you won't come out of it anymore
00:35:17Now listen
00:35:29I found you in a reform school, all right
00:35:32But I put you there, too
00:35:33I put you there to get you tough
00:35:35You were a nice kid
00:35:37When I took you out of the orphanage
00:35:38That was the first place I stuck you
00:35:40Orphanage?
00:35:43Stuck me?
00:35:43Yeah
00:35:44I had you looked after that way in the beginning
00:35:47I'm going to use you for the rest of my life
00:35:54To get what I want
00:35:56That face
00:35:59It's a gentleman's face
00:36:02Now I'm going to tell you who you are
00:36:05And why I got you hanging around
00:36:07I took you away from your mother
00:36:10My mother?
00:36:13Yes, when you were two
00:36:15She hated me
00:36:17Hated you
00:36:20Yes, you dumb fool
00:36:23You're my son
00:36:25I'm your father
00:36:27How do you like it?
00:36:33My father
00:36:34And your mother was full of the same goodwill towards men that you're spilling
00:36:40She was a grand lady
00:36:42She found out what I was the day I married her
00:36:45She got a great education through me
00:36:48And when I got my fill of all that virtue
00:36:51I took you and beat it
00:36:52You kidnapped me?
00:36:55Yeah, that's right
00:36:56Because I couldn't think of any way to hurt her more
00:36:59I didn't want you then
00:37:01I didn't have any use for you except to torment her
00:37:04Who was she?
00:37:06Who was my mother?
00:37:08You're in for a big surprise, son
00:37:10Your mother is Mrs. John Bancroft
00:37:13The Honorable Mrs. John
00:37:16You're lying
00:37:19It couldn't be
00:37:21But that fine lady
00:37:24No
00:37:26You'll get used to it
00:37:29And soon
00:37:30You said you wanted to use me
00:37:37That way?
00:37:38Is that what you mean?
00:37:41Now you're beginning to see daylight
00:37:42Why you're not afraid of the governor?
00:37:45Why you're showing off under his nose?
00:37:46Why you want him to show his hand?
00:37:48My ace in the hole
00:37:49That's you
00:37:51No wonder I've always hated you
00:37:53No wonder you always made me sick
00:37:55I hate your nasty crooked face
00:37:58Yeah?
00:38:08Oh, they're coming for me, huh?
00:38:11At midnight
00:38:11I see
00:38:13Oh, that's fine
00:38:15You stay here till I get back
00:38:20What are you gonna do?
00:38:22The police are calling on us at midnight
00:38:24At the height of the festivities
00:38:26They like it that way
00:38:28Dramatic
00:38:28What are you going to do?
00:38:30Just what you think
00:38:31Bancroft?
00:38:34No, I think it'd be more diplomatic
00:38:35To have a little talk with Mrs. Bancroft first
00:38:38Yes, I think I'll call at the governor's mansion
00:38:41And have a little chat with the governor's lady
00:38:43No
00:38:44And if we don't have a really nice chat
00:38:46I'll still have time for a few minutes with the governor himself
00:38:50No
00:38:50And then I'll still have time to call in the boys of the press
00:38:53And tell them a few things about Mrs. Bancroft
00:38:56That maybe they don't know
00:38:57No, no, you can't do it
00:38:58You can't
00:38:59Tell Conley where I've gone
00:39:00You stay here
00:39:01You can't do it
00:39:02Shut your trap
00:39:03You dirty, sniveling, little rat
00:39:05Fuck
00:39:25Nicky, you didn't do it
00:39:28I had to
00:39:29No
00:39:31No, you didn't
00:39:32No, no, you didn't
00:39:33I had to do it
00:39:35I had to kill him
00:39:36Nicky
00:39:38Nicky
00:39:55We can appeal
00:39:56Remember that
00:39:58Nicky
00:39:59Nicky
00:40:00Nicky
00:40:01Nicky
00:40:02Nicky
00:40:03Nicky
00:40:05Nicky
00:40:07Nicky
00:40:08Nicky
00:40:09Nicky

00:40:20Nicky
00:40:21Nicky
00:40:22Nicky
00:40:23Nicky
00:40:24Nicky
00:40:25Nicky
00:40:26Nicky
00:40:27Why you killed Buck Gordon?
00:40:34He was no good.
00:40:39I sentence you, Nick Elkins,
00:40:44to be hanged by the neck until you were dead.
00:40:47No!
00:40:53May God have mercy on your soul.
00:40:57Let's go.
00:41:22My dear.
00:41:23John, look at this.
00:41:24Yes, I know.
00:41:25I remember that boy.
00:41:27That day at the flying field, so young, so happy.
00:41:30Well, if he'd only offered some excuse, some defense.
00:41:33Nobody wants him to hang.
00:41:34Terrible word, hang.
00:41:36That's a cheerful word to begin the day with.
00:41:39Oh, my dear.
00:41:40Do you mean to say they are really going through this business about that boy?
00:41:45Of course, the law is not a pastime.
00:41:47Not a pastime.
00:41:48Hm.
00:41:49Pretty how do you do when they begin hanging babies?
00:41:51Oh, that boy's of age.
00:41:53An eye for an eye.
00:41:54A tooth for a tooth.
00:41:56Rubbish.
00:41:57I'm not an eye for you.
00:41:58Try, you understand.
00:41:59I'll do something.
00:42:00I'm not an eye for you.
00:42:01I'm a knife for you.
00:42:02Okay, let's play.
00:42:03How are you?
00:42:04No?
00:42:05Sure, I'm a knife for you.
00:42:06Just a minute.
00:42:07A knife for you.
00:42:08Uh-hmm.
00:42:09Okay...
00:42:10Nicky, why did you shoot Gordon?
00:42:23I can still do something.
00:42:25It's not too late.
00:42:26Talk and they'll listen.
00:42:27I said everything I had to say the night it happened.
00:42:30Now I'm ready to go.
00:42:32Please, tell me anyway.
00:42:34Don't ask me anymore, Bill.
00:42:36You're the most stubborn case I've ever tried to defend.
00:42:40Thanks, Bill, for everything you've done.
00:42:56Warden, that boy's Flint. He's Granite.
00:42:59You can't get him to tell you anything, eh?
00:43:01Not a word out of him.
00:43:02That's too bad.
00:43:04He ought to talk now.
00:43:10He ought to talk now.
00:43:40He ought to talk now.
00:44:10Surely something will be done to save that boy.
00:44:13Oh, Stella, dear, I wish you wouldn't upset yourself so much about this case.
00:44:16You know, it makes it so difficult for everybody.
00:44:18Difficult for me.
00:44:19I can't help it, dear.
00:44:21You know what I've been thinking.
00:44:23Oh, yes.
00:44:24Of course I do.
00:44:26Why, every woman who's been a mother would think the same way.
00:44:29But I must regard this case as I would any other.
00:44:32That boy must have had a very good reason.
00:44:34To kill a man, the reason must be very good indeed.
00:44:37Yes, I grant you that.
00:44:39Yes.
00:44:40Oh, bless me, Craig.
00:44:42Are the trout running in the corridor, Craig?
00:44:45I was thinking of my vacation, trying a little casting out in the garden, sir.
00:44:49I hooked Bill Chase.
00:44:51What, Bill again?
00:44:52Again.
00:44:53Will you see him?
00:44:54Oh, it can only mean one thing.
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:57His client is so young, you know.
00:44:59No motive.
00:45:00Oh, darling, do see him.
00:45:03Oh, very well.
00:45:04Tell him to come in.
00:45:05But, Craig, you come back in a few minutes and tell me that I have an appointment.
00:45:11Yes, sir.
00:45:12May I stay in here?
00:45:13What he has to say?
00:45:14Yes, dear.
00:45:15But I'm sure nothing will come of this session.
00:45:20Bill, have you got good news?
00:45:25Oh, well, well, then what is it, Bill?
00:45:28John, we're all friends.
00:45:29Yes.
00:45:30Give me a 30-day stay of execution for the boy.
00:45:33I'll find out why he did it.
00:45:35Oh, well, the court has decided, you know, I can't overrule that.
00:45:39Just because you and the warden and others feel kindly towards the boy.
00:45:44Let me find out why the boy won't talk.
00:45:46It was murder.
00:45:47Here's a kid just past 20.
00:45:49Oh, yes, I know.
00:45:51I've heard all that.
00:45:52No one knows who he is.
00:45:54He doesn't even know himself.
00:45:55He's the victim of circumstances.
00:45:57That's just it.
00:45:58An orphan growing up wildly, in evil condition.
00:46:00Oh, Stella.
00:46:01I'm sorry, dear.
00:46:04You know, Bill, I am your friend.
00:46:06But I'm also the governor of this state.
00:46:08You're that because the people believed in your humanity.
00:46:11Show it now, John.
00:46:12Listen, will you let me bring the boy here?
00:46:16And will you question the boy yourself?
00:46:19No, it isn't done.
00:46:20Then you start it.
00:46:22Yes, John.
00:46:24If he gives one good reason, they'll have to listen.
00:46:28Oh, I can't bear to think of his dying, saying nothing.
00:46:31Nothing to vindicate himself.
00:46:33Oh, very well, I'll do as you wish.
00:46:38But remember, you and you too, Stella.
00:46:41You mustn't question my decision.
00:46:43Of course not, dear.
00:46:45You have an appointment, Mr. Governor.
00:46:47No, I haven't.
00:46:50What?
00:46:51Oh, no, no, no, I haven't.
00:46:53Hello.
00:47:11Hello.
00:47:12Hello.
00:47:13Warden.
00:47:14Yes.
00:47:16Uh, Warden, I, uh...
00:47:18I want you to do something.
00:47:21Bring him over there.
00:47:24Why, yes.
00:47:25Certainly, sir.
00:47:26Right away.
00:47:35Well, my boy, there's something up.
00:47:37The governor wants to see you.
00:47:38See me?
00:47:38At his house, at the mansion.
00:47:39Why?
00:47:40What for?
00:47:40Well, that's something I can't tell you.
00:47:42I don't want to go.
00:47:43Why, sure you do.
00:47:45He must want to talk to you.
00:47:47You know, as a friend.
00:47:49Now, don't hold out on him.
00:47:50I don't want to talk.
00:47:51No!
00:47:58Come on, son, get up.
00:47:59It's the governor's orders.
00:48:10All right, Craig.
00:48:18Come in.
00:48:23Take the handcuffs off, Warden.
00:48:30Shall I wait outside, sir?
00:48:32Yes.
00:48:32Oh, oh, just as you please.
00:48:40Nicky, I have the governor's permission to bring you here.
00:48:48What for?
00:48:49Oh, it's all right, Elkins.
00:48:51I'm not a detective.
00:48:53Your attorney is an old friend of mine.
00:49:00This is Mrs. Bancroft, Nicky.
00:49:05Don't you remember me?
00:49:09No.
00:49:09No, no, ma'am.
00:49:12That day at the airport when you picked up my hat.
00:49:15I haven't forgotten you.
00:49:23Oh, Stella.
00:49:25I want you and Bill to leave me alone with this boy for a while.
00:49:29Will you?
00:49:39Mrs. Bancroft is very much interested in your case.
00:49:49That's very kind of her.
00:49:51You know, it's very seldom that a man in your position has so many anxious to help him.
00:50:07You must realize that my having you here is a very regular proceeding.
00:50:15Doesn't that show you that I'm interested too?
00:50:18Now, if there is any excuse for the crime you committed, tell it to me.
00:50:27I haven't ever.
00:50:27Elkins, I don't think you've ever known a father's care or guidance.
00:50:36Now, I'm acting in your behalf more as a father than as the governor of the state.
00:50:44Won't you help me?
00:50:51Where did you get the name of Elkins?
00:50:52When I was a kid running around with a gang.
00:50:56Nobody gave it to me and it stuck.
00:50:58You knew Gordon for a long time.
00:51:00Didn't he know where you came from?
00:51:03From a reform school.
00:51:05He had me sprung.
00:51:07Didn't the people in the reform school know your parentage?
00:51:11I never asked.
00:51:13I never cared.
00:51:15Well, if you knew Gordon so long,
00:51:17why did you delay in giving him what you thought he deserved?
00:51:24Hadn't he given you cause for quarrel before?
00:51:26Oh, yes.
00:51:28But you didn't try to shoot him or get rid of him in any other way,
00:51:31in any former quarrel?
00:51:33Well, they weren't as bad as the one we had that night.
00:51:35Oh.
00:51:36Then it was something he did,
00:51:38or something he threatened to do that night,
00:51:41that precipitated the shooting.
00:51:42Well, we had a real fight.
00:51:45What about?
00:51:46Well,
00:51:47was it about a girl?
00:51:51No.
00:51:53Well, it might have started that way,
00:51:55but she wasn't the cause of it.
00:51:57Money.
00:51:58Was it money you quarreled about?
00:52:00No.
00:52:01No, I killed him because he was no good.
00:52:09You haven't told me anything I haven't heard before.
00:52:12Now give me one act
00:52:14on which I can base a defense for you.
00:52:17Just one excuse for your act.
00:52:19I haven't any excuse, sir.
00:52:21It's right for me to go.
00:52:22I'm ready.
00:52:24But don't you understand?
00:52:25I can't reprieve you unless you try to defend yourself.
00:52:31Well, I...
00:52:32I can't do anything more.
00:52:36I hope you'll have courage.
00:52:41I hope you'll have courage.
00:52:43I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:44I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:46I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:47I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:48I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:49I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:49I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:50I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:51I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:51I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:52I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:53I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:53I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:54I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:55I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:56I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:57I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:57I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:58I hope you'll have a good job.
00:52:59I hope you'll have a good job.
00:53:00I tried.
00:53:26I did try.
00:53:28But the law says that it must happen.
00:53:35John, if I had you to raise again, I wouldn't let you get within a mile of a law school.
00:53:42Oh, Mother dear, please.
00:53:58I don't know.
00:54:05I don't know.
00:54:13There's someone to see you.
00:54:28There's someone to see you.
00:54:35Mickey.
00:54:36You came all the way up here by yourself.
00:54:37I wanted to.
00:54:38I told the others not to come.
00:54:42I had to see you alone.
00:54:43That's right.
00:54:44That's the way I wanted to.
00:54:45There's so much I want to say.
00:54:49I do, too.
00:54:50There's only one thing.
00:54:51There's only one thing.
00:54:52You know.
00:54:53Yes.
00:54:54And you know, too.
00:54:55You're all.
00:54:56All there ever was for me.
00:54:57Oh.
00:54:58This isn't really happening.
00:54:59This isn't really happening.
00:55:00It is.
00:55:01It is.
00:55:02It is.
00:55:03It is.
00:55:04It's a dream.
00:55:05That's right, Baby.
00:55:06Keep thinking that.
00:55:07But it is really doing that.
00:55:09I do not know.
00:55:10I do not.
00:55:11I do not know.
00:55:12You do not know, too.
00:55:13I do not know, too.
00:55:14No.
00:55:15I do not know, too.
00:55:18It is.
00:55:19No.
00:55:20That is.
00:55:21It is.
00:55:22It is a dream.
00:55:23That is all there ever was for me.
00:55:24No.
00:55:25I do not know.
00:55:26You are.
00:55:27Yes.
00:55:28You are.
00:55:29And you are all.
00:55:30You are all.
00:55:31You are all.
00:55:32All there ever was for me.
00:55:33But it is real.
00:55:36It's a pretty hat you're wearing.
00:55:40It's you.
00:55:43Nicky.
00:55:45How do you really feel inside?
00:55:48All right.
00:55:51Except when I think of you.
00:55:53Then I feel.
00:55:56Maybe it would have been better if I hadn't come.
00:56:00Easier.
00:56:01No.
00:56:02I had to see you, baby.
00:56:04Don't cry.
00:56:08I'm not crying, Nicky.
00:56:10Forever.
00:56:12Don't forget.
00:56:14Forever.
00:56:16All my life.
00:56:22Here.
00:56:24It's a letter the warden gave me permission to write.
00:56:26I'm giving it to her.
00:56:27A letter, Nicky?
00:56:28Yeah, show it to the guard.
00:56:29It's for Mrs. Bancroft.
00:56:32Mrs. Bancroft?
00:56:33Okay.
00:56:35Yeah.
00:56:36The governor's wife.
00:56:39Give it to her for me tomorrow sometime.
00:56:43I'd like it that way.
00:56:45From you to her.
00:56:47All right, Nicky.
00:56:50What else can I do?
00:56:53Nothing.
00:56:54Except now.
00:56:57Oh, my darling, Nicky.
00:57:09I've seen the sweetest thing in the world.
00:57:12Your face.
00:57:14What?
00:57:14You have a long haul back to town, baby.
00:57:20You have to sing tonight, don't you?
00:57:22How's the club?
00:57:25Oh, it's all right.
00:57:27Colin didn't let a go of it.
00:57:30It's just a plain nightclub now.
00:57:32Oh, that's great.
00:57:34You don't have to worry.
00:57:37Just sing.
00:57:37Just sing.
00:57:42Go on back now, baby.
00:57:44Baby, I'll be there.
00:57:45Yeah.
00:57:47Turn right around and walk away.
00:57:50See?
00:57:51I'm spotting at you.
00:57:53Go on, baby.
00:58:01Oh, I can't.
00:58:02Wait for my sake.
00:58:04It's taken a long time to get back.
00:58:34Hey, do you think what she had to go through, tell him goodbye?
00:58:37Oh, don't talk about it.
00:58:42Listen.
00:58:44That's your coming.
00:59:04Mary.
00:59:27Mary.
00:59:29Kid.
00:59:30She ought to go home
00:59:36Mary
00:59:41You can't work tonight
00:59:44Oh, I have to smoke
00:59:47I have to
00:59:49I don't want to be alone
00:59:52I don't want to be alone
00:59:54All right, Mary
00:59:56We're with you
00:59:58Me and the boys
01:00:00You're going to have to get dressed now
01:00:28All right, boys
01:00:35Just one for us
01:00:37Some day we'll meet again
01:00:49Someday we'll meet again
01:01:01And life will be
01:01:07Wherever you travel
01:01:17No matter how far
01:01:22I'll follow my heart
01:01:28Wherever I go
01:01:32Wherever I go
01:01:34Oh, oh
01:01:36Oh, oh
01:01:38Ah, you poor kid.
01:02:08Oh, God.
01:04:10I knew it.
01:04:14Why aren't you asleep, Stella?
01:04:16I can't sleep.
01:04:17Didn't I say in the beginning it was a wrong thing to have that prison right under our noses?
01:04:21It doesn't matter how near or far it is.
01:04:24It's what those men are doing there.
01:04:25Ending a life that hasn't had a decent chance.
01:04:28You can't get men to use common sense in matters like this.
01:04:31I wonder we women let them go on tinkering with the world.
01:04:34We can't help thinking if my son had lived, he'd be just that boy's age.
01:04:39That's why Zana's tried so hard to help him.
01:04:42I realize that.
01:04:42You can't do this poor boy any good, worrying and walking the floor all night.
01:04:48Won't you try to rest, dear?
01:04:49I'll try.
01:04:51Now you must get some sleep.
01:04:53Now remember, not another peep out of you until breakfast time.
01:05:02Good night.
01:05:04Good night.
01:05:23Good night.
01:05:53You know, I'd rather do anything in the world than witness this execution.
01:06:15Therefore, if people are turning into the water, it's going to talk about it.
01:06:23Come on, son.
01:06:31Come on.
01:06:31Come on.
01:06:31Come on.
01:06:53Come on.
01:07:01Come on.
01:07:02Come on.
01:07:11Come on.
01:07:14Come on.
01:07:15Someday in the old and old
01:08:15What are you doing here?
01:08:27I didn't think anyone got up this early unless it was to go fishing.
01:08:31I want to see the governor.
01:08:32That's impossible at this hour.
01:08:34You'll have to phone for an appointment.
01:08:36But I must see him now.
01:08:38Now, young lady.
01:08:40Do as I say or I'll have to call the police.
01:08:42No, I won't go away.
01:08:43I must see him.
01:08:44I've got to talk to him.
01:08:46What is it, Craig?
01:08:47This girl insists on seeing you, sir.
01:08:50Please, sir.
01:08:52It's about Mickey Elkins.
01:08:53I've got to talk to you.
01:08:55Come in.
01:08:57It's all right, Craig.
01:09:00I hope you catch plenty of fish.
01:09:01Well, what is it, my dear?
01:09:21It's rather hard for me to get started.
01:09:24I'm not quite myself.
01:09:25How long were you waiting outside?
01:09:29Most of the night.
01:09:31What's your name?
01:09:33Mary Raper.
01:09:36I'd sing in the club where...
01:09:37Nicky worked.
01:09:42I was there the night he killed Gordon.
01:09:45Yes.
01:09:49I had no idea.
01:09:53Oh, come in, my dear.
01:09:57This is my wife.
01:09:59It's all right.
01:10:00Go on.
01:10:00Tell us what you have to.
01:10:03I had no idea of coming here till last night.
01:10:06We all sat around between shows.
01:10:09No one was able to talk much.
01:10:11It's been terribly lonesome without him.
01:10:18I came because...
01:10:20I just had to be near Nicky.
01:10:23And the boy was very dear to you, wasn't he?
01:10:29He was all I had in the world.
01:10:31We were going to get married.
01:10:34Last night...
01:10:36The boys at the club took up a collection.
01:10:41It amounted to five hundred dollars.
01:10:45That's enough, isn't it?
01:10:48He...
01:10:49Hadn't any relatives, so...
01:10:54No one wants him, but...
01:10:56Wants him?
01:10:57Why...
01:10:58Why, what do you mean?
01:11:01I mean Nicky.
01:11:04May I...
01:11:05May I claim him?
01:11:09No.
01:11:09I couldn't bear to think of...
01:11:12His being...
01:11:14Put away all alone.
01:11:16With no one there.
01:11:21I know of a...
01:11:23Little cemetery...
01:11:27Where I could take him and then...
01:11:31And I could...
01:11:32Go there once in a while.
01:11:34How could you hang a grand boy like Nicky?
01:11:42For killing a man who wasn't fit to live?
01:11:44Gordon deserves it, darling.
01:11:45He deserves it.
01:11:47Oh, my poor child.
01:11:48Mr. Van Grot will do as you ask.
01:11:50Won't you, young?
01:11:52Why?
01:11:53I see no reason why I shouldn't.
01:11:54I see no reason why I shouldn't.
01:12:09Well, that's strange.
01:12:11Warden.
01:12:15Warden.
01:12:16Hello.
01:12:18Warden.
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:22A young lady.
01:12:23Miss Rayburn.
01:12:25Will come and see you.
01:12:27It's about Elkins.
01:12:28Yes, she wishes to take charge of the...
01:12:32Arrangement herself.
01:12:34For the burial.
01:12:36I've granted her request.
01:12:38Yes, you understand.
01:12:40At the specified time...
01:12:42You will hand to her...
01:12:44What?
01:12:47What's that you're saying?
01:12:49What on this line?
01:12:51On the private wire?
01:12:54Why, no.
01:12:56Are you sure that it came over...
01:12:59This direct wire to you?
01:13:01Why, yes, sir.
01:13:02Over this line.
01:13:03Stay of execution at 5.30 this morning.
01:13:05Don't tell me you don't know about it.
01:13:07Come over here at once, Warden.
01:13:09And bring Elkins with you.
01:13:11At once.
01:13:16Incredible.
01:13:18A stay of execution was granted...
01:13:21Over this wire...
01:13:23As coming from me.
01:13:24John.
01:13:25Then he hasn't been.
01:13:27He isn't.
01:13:28No.
01:13:31Why do you look at me like that?
01:13:36Miss Rayburn.
01:13:37I'm afraid that I shall have to ask you to go.
01:13:40Yes, of course.
01:13:41Don't send her away, John.
01:13:43Go up and wait in my study at the top of the stairs.
01:13:45Isn't that all right, dear?
01:13:46Very well.
01:13:47You have something to be thankful for, my dear?
01:13:48Yes.
01:13:50Stella.
01:13:51Yes, John.
01:13:53Do you know anything of that phone call?
01:13:54I?
01:13:55How could I?
01:13:56If you allow your sympathy to carry you so far.
01:13:57That's preposterous.
01:13:58Yes, of course.
01:13:59Could it have been...
01:14:00Oh, no.
01:14:01He wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:14:02He wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:14:03You mean you suspect the warden?
01:14:04Well, I know how he felt about executing that boy.
01:14:05Oh, no.
01:14:06He wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:14:07Do you know anything of that phone call?
01:14:09I? How could I?
01:14:11If you allowed your sympathy to carry you so far.
01:14:13That's preposterous.
01:14:16Yes, of course.
01:14:18Could it have been...
01:14:20Oh, no, he...
01:14:22He wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:14:23You mean you suspect the warden?
01:14:25Well, I know how he felt about executing that boy.
01:14:27Oh, no, he wouldn't do a thing like that.
01:14:30We must wait and see if the boy himself knows anything.
01:14:33I don't want to go.
01:14:34I tell you, I don't want to see them again.
01:14:37What is this all about?
01:14:38I don't know myself, son.
01:14:39You'll have to come along.
01:14:47Come in.
01:14:50Yes, sir.
01:14:53Warden, you couldn't have received that telephone call yourself.
01:14:56You had to be with the prisoner in the execution chamber.
01:14:58That's right, sir. My assistant received the call.
01:15:01Naturally, there'd be no point in his line to me.
01:15:03I trust him, as you know.
01:15:04And the call was on our private wire.
01:15:06Yes.
01:15:08Is it possible our private wire could have been tapped by any confederate of this boy's?
01:15:13Not without our knowing it, sir.
01:15:15Elkins.
01:15:17Elkins.
01:15:18Do you know anything of this unauthorized reprieve?
01:15:22No, sir.
01:15:23Please, won't you send me back and do it now?
01:15:27I can't stand any more of this.
01:15:29Well, I must grant the conventional 30 days reprieve and then get to the bottom of this.
01:15:34The papers will carry the news today, I suppose?
01:15:38Yes, sir.
01:15:39The boys were all there when the call came.
01:15:40They dashed right out.
01:15:40Yes, I'll make out the necessary papers now.
01:15:47Well, John is granting a reprieve.
01:15:51John!
01:15:52Oh!
01:15:53Oh!
01:15:58Warden, take him back.
01:16:01Please, sir.
01:16:02Before I go, I sent a letter here.
01:16:05A letter?
01:16:06Yes, the girl gave it to me.
01:16:08You wrote a letter to my wife?
01:16:09Yes, sir.
01:16:10Could I?
01:16:12Would you please give it back to me?
01:16:15I just wanted Mrs. Bancroft to know how much I appreciated your kindness and interest.
01:16:22I wanted to thank somebody for trying so hard.
01:16:26Would you please give it back to me?
01:16:27I left it in my room.
01:16:29I'll go and get it.
01:16:37Hello.
01:16:39This is a friend of Buck Gordon's.
01:16:41You can tell that governor that Buck Gordon is even with him.
01:16:46Because the kid he hung this morning was his wife's son.
01:16:53Operator, trace that call.
01:16:55Who was it?
01:16:56There was someone who said he was an old friend of Buck Gordon's.
01:17:00What did he say?
01:17:01He said that you might be glad to learn that you...
01:17:06Stella, I want to see what's in that letter.
01:17:22Oh, no, sir.
01:17:23No.
01:17:23Maybe something that will explain this case.
01:17:26What's that look, dear?
01:17:47What's that look, dear?
01:17:49Read that.
01:17:56What?
01:18:23What is he saying, John?
01:18:24What is he saying, John?
01:18:33My baby.
01:18:35My baby.
01:18:43Nicky.
01:18:54It was you who put through that call on my private wire.
01:18:59Well, nobody else had the sense to do it.
01:19:01But John said it was you, sir.
01:19:03I said I was talking for you, John.
01:19:06And I told him not to argue.
01:19:14I'll go before the Board of Pardons myself.
01:19:16And make them see the proper conclusion of this case.
01:19:19Yes, sir.
01:19:20I'll try to get into it.
01:19:25Hello.
01:19:27Hello?
01:19:30Hello?
01:19:33Help.
01:19:36You make a pretty good governor, Mother Darling.
01:19:42Hello?
