00:03:00Funny thing about music, some tunes make your feet dance and others your heart.
00:03:07Why have you been doing okay on this trip without music?
00:03:10What do you mean without music?
00:03:12Why, that old wedding march has been ringing in my ears ever since that sister of yours agreed to throw you over for me.
00:03:18Ah, that's all right. I raised her from a pup and I'm glad to get rid of her.
00:03:22As long as it's for you.
00:03:24You won't be sorry, Joaquin.
00:03:26I'd die to make Maria happy.
00:03:29What have you got there?
00:03:30Oh, it's a boat I made with a kid. Think he'll like it?
00:03:33Jack, he'd like anything you made for him.
00:03:36Too bad you don't like his mother.
00:03:41Yeah, it's tough, ain't it?
00:03:43You know, I can't figure you out, Joaquin.
00:03:45Why you let her ornery father and brother stop your marriage is beyond me.
00:03:50You and Jean are nuts about each other, the kid's crazy about you.
00:03:55If it were me, I'd tell the whole Fenderson family to go fly a kite.
00:04:00All right, Mr. Nelson, I'll take over.
00:04:03You go along and get some sleep. I think you're going to need it.
00:04:07Well, I suppose if you're ever going to marry Jean, I'll have to kill off the rest of the Fendersons.
00:04:11Say, you let me take care of Jean, will you?
00:04:14Sure, sure.
00:04:22Tell you I won't have a daughter of mine associating with him.
00:04:25A thieving fortune he who hides behind an Irish name.
00:04:28I won't have it, do you understand? I won't have it.
00:04:31No? Well, I'm pretty fed up with what you won't have and what I can't do.
00:04:35I'm through taking orders and being bulldozed.
00:04:37I love Joaquin Shannon. My baby loves him.
00:04:40And we're going to be with him every chance we get.
00:04:42Oh, no you're not. I'll have something to say about that.
00:04:45Dad's right about him, sis. The guy's no good.
00:04:48And he'll be more no good after I get through with him.
00:04:50I'll run him off the waterfront.
00:04:52Jean! Jean, they're both in!
00:04:54It's time to get out of here, Mother.
00:04:56Yes, darling, right now.
00:04:58I'll have the boy taken away from you.
00:05:01Take him with you, Maria.
00:05:03All right, hurry, Jean.
00:05:04Hurry, Mommy, hurry!
00:05:09You know, you don't frighten me anymore.
00:05:11Jackie's mine and nobody can take him away from me.
00:05:13Oh, yes, they can. When a mother endangers a child's welfare...
00:05:16His welfare!
00:05:17Why didn't you think of his welfare three years ago when he was sick and needed it?
00:05:21When he needed a doctor, food, medicine.
00:05:24No, oh, no.
00:05:25I married his father against your wishes and that was that.
00:05:28Well, you're not going to mess up my life a second time.
00:05:35You're wasting your breath, aren't you, Jean?
00:05:37There's only one way to settle this.
00:05:40You leave it to me.
00:05:41I'll put an end to this Shannon business.
00:05:45Oh, Maria!
00:05:46Oh, Jean!
00:05:49Hey, you sure look good.
00:05:51Oh, darling, it's so good to see you.
00:05:53Hello, matey!
00:05:54Oh, Captain.
00:05:56Oh, Chris!
00:05:59Oh, Chris!
00:06:01Everything ship-shape?
00:06:02Aye, aye, sir.
00:06:03Where's the skipper?
00:06:04Gram's fighting with her.
00:06:07Oh, mutiny, eh?
00:06:08The crew prepared to board an attack.
00:06:11Hello, Shannon.
00:06:12Hello, Paolo.
00:06:13Hiya, Joaquin.
00:06:14Hello.
00:06:15Get me any tuna this trip?
00:06:16Plenty. How you been, kid?
00:06:17Okay. I'll be out of school soon and ready for that job you promised me.
00:06:20Oh, it takes a man to heave in tuna, fella.
00:06:22Look.
00:06:23Three of them.
00:06:25Holy smoke.
00:06:26When it gets to you can't count them, I'll give you a job.
00:06:29Gee, thanks, Joaquin.
00:06:31So long, kid.
00:06:37Cap, why is Gram mad at you?
00:06:39I don't know, mate.
00:06:40What do you think?
00:06:42Well, maybe because Mommy loves you.
00:06:44How do you know?
00:06:45She called Gram.
00:06:49Jean!
00:06:50Joaquin!
00:06:52Stand by, matey, while I talk to the skipper.
00:06:55Now, let me have a good look at you.
00:06:57Yep, you're the same gal I've been seeing every night.
00:06:59Such blimey, Captain Shannon.
00:07:02Jean, you're all shaky.
00:07:03What's the matter?
00:07:04Just the excitement of seeing you, I guess.
00:07:07The old man's been after you again, hasn't he?
00:07:10This time I walked out for good.
00:07:13Well, glory be.
00:07:14Now we're getting someplace.
00:07:16Oh, Joaquin.
00:07:17Right here in front of the seagulls and everybody?
00:07:19Sure, I want witnesses so he can't change his mind.
00:07:21Oh, that's not like me.
00:07:23Matey, what do you think about me getting married?
00:07:25Do I, Cap?
00:07:27Yeah, see if you can talk the skipper into it, will you?
00:07:30Can we please, Mommy?
00:07:32Please.
00:07:34What's going on here?
00:07:36Maria, we're going to take Jean home with us.
00:07:38Home?
00:07:39Oh, that's marvelous.
00:07:40Now, don't let her out of your sight until I get there.
00:07:42Now, shove off, skipper, shove off.
00:07:44We've got work to do.
00:07:45Take over, matey.
00:07:47Hey, what's this all about?
00:07:48Ah, pipe down, bridegroom.
00:07:50You're on your way to Father O'Toole's in the barbershop.
00:07:52Oh, you're nuts.
00:07:53We've a lot of fish to unload.
00:07:54Ding and I'll take care of that.
00:07:55You've got plenty to do.
00:07:56There's going to be a wedding tomorrow.
00:07:57Come on, get going.
00:08:03Yeah, and if it hadn't been for luck all these months,
00:08:05we'd be having a double wedding tomorrow.
00:08:07I've been so busy trying to get you two out of my hair,
00:08:09I haven't had time for anything else.
00:08:10All anxious to get rid of me, huh?
00:08:12I can hardly wait.
00:08:13Oh.
00:08:14Well, it won't be long now.
00:08:16Oh, Christopher, thank you.
00:08:18Hey, pipe down.
00:08:19There's a kid in the house now.
00:08:20Oh, don't worry.
00:08:21He's sound asleep.
00:08:22Fine, everything you need to do?
00:08:23Yes, everything's wonderful.
00:08:24But it does seem too bad for Joaquin,
00:08:26putting him out of his room.
00:08:27Well, from the rumors we've heard,
00:08:29I'd say it was only going to be temporary.
00:08:31Huh?
00:08:32Joaquin Shannon, what have you told him?
00:08:34Oh, I told him you were so crazy about me,
00:08:36you couldn't take no for an answer.
00:08:37Oh, you did.
00:08:38Give us a kiss, will you?
00:08:39Yeah, give us a kiss, huh?
00:08:40Oh, not even.
00:08:41You're the both of you.
00:08:42Go under your old stag party.
00:08:43Come on, boy.
00:08:44Come on in here.
00:08:56What's the big shindig about?
00:08:57One of the boys is getting hitched tomorrow.
00:09:03Bring the antelope to the fisherman.
00:09:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:09:11It was the most auspicious occasion.
00:09:18For tonight, we lose one of our best friends.
00:09:22For tomorrow, he becomes a bride.
00:09:34How am I doing, chap?
00:09:35For a crap of three sheets in the wind,
00:09:37you're doing all right.
00:09:38And it's my night to howl, ain't it?
00:09:40You bet it is, mate.
00:09:41So howl away.
00:09:44Yippee.
00:09:49Hey, drink up and have another.
00:09:51Come on, let's go.
00:09:52Cheerio.
00:09:54Hello, Joe.
00:09:55What's it going to be, boys?
00:09:56What do you have, matey?
00:09:57Bourbon.
00:10:07Come on.
00:10:25I need a little drink.
00:10:28I said I need a little drink.
00:10:29Allow me, all of you.
00:10:32I need a little drink.
00:10:33What you need is some fresh air.
00:10:34Come on.
00:10:35But this is my night to howl.
00:10:36You set it for yourself.
00:10:37All right.
00:10:38You can howl and walk at the same time, can't you?
00:10:40Now come on.
00:10:41Yippee.
00:10:43Yippee.
00:10:46Yippee.
00:10:52Now sit there and get some air.
00:10:55I can howl when I'm walking, but I can't howl this.
00:11:00Hey, Shannon.
00:11:01Shannon.
00:11:05There's a lot of things you and me got to settle.
00:11:07One of them is this business of you and my sister.
00:11:09So?
00:11:10Yeah.
00:11:12Well, don't start nothing you can't finish.
00:11:13I'll finish it, all right, if you don't keep away from Jean.
00:11:15Don't lead me to your chin, Joe.
00:11:17I don't want no trouble.
00:11:18But if you keep on asking for it, I'll give it to you.
00:11:21You and who else?
00:11:24Come on.
00:11:26Come on.
00:11:27Drink up.
00:11:28All right.
00:11:29A day off walking ain't worth the exercise.
00:11:31Oh, I doubt it.
00:11:34Well, this is a nice fight.
00:11:35Come on.
00:11:36Have a drink.
00:11:37Oh, have a drink.
00:12:00When that guy hits him, they're clawed apart.
00:12:03Now go on with your fun, mates.
00:12:04I got the bridegroom outside, Aaron.
00:12:06I got to throw him away.
00:12:07Hey, Dick.
00:12:09Take care of things, will you?
00:12:15Well, kids.
00:12:29Come on.
00:12:30Come on.
00:12:58Where's the trouble?
00:13:00He must be drunk.
00:13:31Joe.
00:13:37Chris.
00:13:40Hey, Chris, what happened?
00:13:43I'm tired.
00:13:44Oh, sweet.
00:13:50I'm tired.
00:13:51I'm tired.
00:13:52I'm tired.
00:13:53I'm tired.
00:13:54I'm tired.
00:13:55I'm tired.
00:13:56I'm tired.
00:13:57I'm tired.
00:13:58I'm tired.
00:14:00I'm tired.
00:14:01I'm tired.
00:14:02I'm tired.
00:14:03I'm tired.
00:14:04I'm tired.
00:14:05I'm tired.
00:14:06I'm tired.
00:14:07I'm tired.
00:14:08I'm tired.
00:14:18Come on.
00:14:19We got to get out of here.
00:14:20Come on.
00:14:21Hey, look.
00:14:22There he is.
00:14:23Come on, you're going to married in a couple of hours.
00:14:24Do you want to wake up in a can?
00:14:25Oh, no, I don't want to sleep.
00:14:29Oh, it's you, Shannon.
00:14:52Where are you going this hour of the night?
00:14:53What's up?
00:14:54Joe Fenderson.
00:14:55How cold.
00:14:56Someday, one of you boys are really going to get hurt.
00:14:57Well, I was just on my way back to the boat, and I found Fenderson stretched out there
00:14:58cold.
00:14:59Somebody must have beaten me to it.
00:15:00That's going to be hard to make anybody believe.
00:15:01Come on.
00:15:02What happened?
00:15:03Well, I...
00:15:04Well, Fenderson asked for it, and I let him have it.
00:15:05That was pretty stiff bail.
00:15:06But I knew you wanted out.
00:15:07You said it.
00:15:08I'd have gone to jail for that.
00:15:09Well, I...
00:15:10Well, I...

00:17:27For better or worse.
00:17:29Yes, now be quiet.
00:17:31For richer or poorer.
00:17:33For richer or poorer.
00:17:35In sickness and in health.
00:17:37In sickness and in health.

00:17:42Until death do us part.
00:17:45With this ring, I thee wed.

00:17:51All right, boys.
00:17:55Ladies and gentlemen, to the bride and the groom.
00:17:59Bottoms up, everybody.
00:18:01All everything.
00:18:02Leave a toast.
00:18:05To the bride and groom-to-be.
00:18:07Jean and Joaquin.
00:18:11Keith.
00:18:13There's somebody at the door, Joaquin.
00:18:15Oh, good afternoon.
00:18:16Everybody's here.
00:18:17I'll see you over there.
00:18:18Congratulations.
00:18:19Congratulations.
00:18:23Brady!
00:18:24McCann!
00:18:25Well, I'm glad to see you.
00:18:26You just missed the wedding.
00:18:27But there's plenty of grub and other things if you guys are off duty.
00:18:29Come on in.
00:18:30Sorry, Joaquin.
00:18:31We're here on duty.
00:18:33Yeah.
00:18:34Chief wants to see you down at headquarters.
00:18:36But I posted bail last night.
00:18:37Tell him I'll see him later.
00:18:39I can't go out on a kid's wedding.
00:18:40Afraid you'll have to, fella.
00:18:42Joe Fenderson cashed in about a half an hour ago.
00:18:45Joe?
00:18:47Dead?
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:49Skull busted.
00:18:50He never came to.
00:18:51Gee, that's tough.
00:18:53Plenty.
00:18:54On you.
00:18:55It's a manslaughter rabbit.
00:19:01Me?
00:19:03But I didn't.
00:19:04Sure, we know.
00:19:05It's just one of them tough breaks.
00:19:19Yeah.
00:19:21Well, uh, could you guys do me a favor?
00:19:25Name it, brother.
00:19:29Wait outside, will you?
00:19:30Sure.
00:19:32Joaquin!
00:19:34I'm going to cut the cake.
00:19:35Shut up, kid.
00:19:36I'll be there.
00:19:39Take your time.
00:19:40The car will be down the street.
00:19:42Thanks.
00:20:00Hey, young man, where have you been?
00:20:02Hey, young lady.
00:20:03I'm not your husband.
00:20:05I'll make a wish.
00:20:08You make it for me.
00:20:11Smooth seas, kid.
00:20:13And a full cargo of happiness.
00:20:16And you see that she gets it, you lucky guy.
00:20:18Aye, aye, captain.
00:20:19I'll only beat her once a day.
00:20:21I'll take this to rock and roll school.
00:20:23I'll get it.
00:20:25He's a man worthy of you.
00:20:27He is, my dear.
00:20:28There's only one Joaquin Shannon, father.
00:20:30So, making love to my girl behind my back, huh?
00:20:33Such talk.
00:20:34Tis a disgrace.
00:20:35Sure I'll not be marrying the likes of you to a nice girl.
00:20:38She is kind of nice, ain't she?
00:20:40And it's much happiness she'll be having the pair of you.
00:20:43Now leave me to make cake.
00:20:45Be off with you.
00:20:46All right.
00:20:48Why are you looking at me like that?
00:20:50Just getting an eyeful.
00:20:52And you are one, too.
00:20:54Take off those glasses, captain.
00:20:56They're fooling you badly.
00:20:57Hmm?
00:20:59Yeah, you're right.
00:21:01I've been chipped.
00:21:02See?
00:21:03I told you.
00:21:04I told you.
00:21:05I told you.
00:21:06I told you.
00:21:07I told you.
00:21:08I told you.
00:21:09I told you.
00:21:10I told you.
00:21:11I told you.
00:21:12I told you.
00:21:13I told you.
00:21:14I told you.
00:21:15I told you.
00:21:16See?
00:21:21I've got to run down to the doctor a minute, honey.
00:21:24Take care of things for a while.
00:21:26Don't be long, huh?
00:21:40Anything wrong, Red?
00:21:42Little weather ahead thing.
00:21:44Stick with the ship.
00:21:49History!
00:21:50All about the Harvard murder!
00:21:54History!
00:21:5540 papers!
00:21:56All about the murder!
00:21:5840 papers!
00:21:59All about the Harvard murder!
00:22:01All about the murder!
00:22:13Certainly it's true.
00:22:14What about it?
00:22:15You will telephone the paper and deny it.
00:22:17Deny you have any connection with Joaquin Shannon.
00:22:19Oh, no, I won't, father.
00:22:24You're going to uphold your brother's murderer?
00:22:26I love Joaquin Shannon, and I'm going to stand by him.
00:22:31You have been found guilty of manslaughter as charged.
00:22:47Have you anything to say before a sentence is pronounced?
00:22:51No.
00:22:52And the sentence of this court is that you be committed to state prison for a term of
00:22:56not less than one and not more than ten years.
00:23:00Oh, my God.
00:23:07Oh, O'Keefe.
00:23:10O'Keefe.
00:23:12Take it easy, kid.
00:23:18You take care of her now, Chris.
00:23:20You know I kind of spoiled her before you come along.
00:23:23Sure, O'Keefe.
00:23:24Sure, O'Keefe.
00:23:37Thanks, Skipper.
00:23:40Say, do you suppose...
00:23:42Suppose what?
00:23:44Do you suppose a gal could stick around a year waiting for a guy?
00:23:49The gal loved the guy the way I love you.
00:23:54Then you got a date.
00:23:56About this time next year.
00:24:18You're forced to fence, huh?
00:24:44Yeah.
00:24:45It's customary for inmates to say sir when addressing prison officers.
00:24:51We want to help you, but we can't unless you help yourself.
00:24:55By your own acts, your attitude, your conduct, you make your own record.
00:25:00Don't let other prisoners get you into trouble.
00:25:02Mind your own business, hold your temper, respect yourself, and show respect for others
00:25:07so that when you come up for parole, you'll be able to show the prison officials
00:25:10that you deserve another chance.
00:25:12It's up to you, Shannon.
00:25:14Read this book of rules carefully.
00:25:19That's all.
00:25:20Come on.
00:25:21This way, Fish.
00:25:31There's a first fish for you, Cappy.
00:25:33In with you.
00:25:46Put your duffel on that bunk, lad.
00:25:52Fisherman, eh?
00:25:55News travels fast in here.
00:26:02It's a million miles away, don't it?
00:26:05You got a cold, crawling emptiness way down deep.
00:26:08Life's betrayed you.
00:26:09There's no such thing as justice and right.
00:26:12I know.
00:26:14Most of us feel that way when we first come in.
00:26:16Not me.
00:26:17I got my sights set on a year from now.
00:26:19A year?
00:26:20Yeah, my lawyer says I'll be out of here in a year.
00:26:23You might, with good behavior.
00:26:25That's a sense, then, if it's up to me.
00:26:27Yeah?
00:26:28Kids, mostly.
00:26:29The warden and the captain of the yard are right guys.
00:26:31Most of the guards are okay.
00:26:34It's still a penitentiary.
00:26:36Being caged up like this does something to a man.
00:26:40This squirrel cage isn't going to get me.
00:27:01Hello, lad.
00:27:02Hi, Cappy.
00:27:04How'd you make out today?
00:27:05I'd probably do better heaving tuna.
00:27:07Hey, are you a southpaw or a right-hander?
00:27:09How long are you in for?
00:27:10You know, if you're a lifer, you gotta go on Grogan's team.
00:27:12I only get the short-termers.
00:27:13What's he talking about?
00:27:14Oh, this is Sophie, manager of the prison Green Sox.
00:27:18Sophie, this is Shannon.
00:27:20Hiya.
00:27:21All I care about is if he can play baseball.
00:27:22You know, the thing that burns me up about this joint,
00:27:24I know the more I get a good man developed, the more I'll lose him.
00:27:26How come?
00:27:27Didn't they pardon my best pitcher this morning?
00:27:29I'm sorry, but I'm not a ball player.
00:27:31You ain't?
00:27:32Well, why did you say so?
00:27:34Ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:28:04
00:28:33
00:28:52Still got your sights set on that year?
00:28:56Blame me?
00:29:00Something to aim at, son.
00:29:03You stick with it.
00:29:10Trouble brewing today.
00:29:12I can smell it.
00:29:18Sure he is.
00:29:19I just heard the screw tell the chaplain.
00:29:21All right, come on, boys.
00:29:22Break it up.
00:29:23Break it up.
00:29:25Come on.
00:29:31Hey, fellas.
00:29:32Break it up.
00:29:34OK.
00:29:49Well, welcome home, Red.
00:29:51Hello, Chughead.
00:29:52How are you, man?
00:29:53Hello, Red.
00:29:54How are you, boy?
00:29:55Hello, partner.
00:29:56How are you, Captain?
00:29:57Welcome home.
00:29:58Welcome home.
00:30:00Hi, boys.
00:30:03So that's Big Red Kincaid.
00:30:05Yeah.
00:30:07He's a good guy to stay away from in here.
00:30:10He's always been dynamite.
00:30:13Don't worry.
00:30:15I'm not sticking my neck out.
00:30:17Hello, Sophie.
00:30:18Hey, Red.
00:30:19Say, what are you in for this time?
00:30:21Ah, Damon Fresno shot up Vermont to the parole office.
00:30:24How's the alarm, huh?
00:30:25Pretty good, pretty good.
00:30:26Oh, not bad.
00:30:27I hope you haven't lost that old control of the speed.
00:30:29Remember that last game we had with the lifers?
00:30:31Do I?
00:30:32Oh, what a game.
00:30:3417 strikeouts, and you beamed the screw with a wild pitch.
00:30:38I'll never forget the sound of that ball
00:30:40when it smashed the screw right between the eyes,
00:30:42and he goes out like a light.
00:30:44Oh, boy.
00:30:45So you're just a little ray of sunshine, huh, Red?
00:30:48Yeah.
00:30:49Just telling Sophie a little story I brought from the outside.
00:30:52You're a panicker, Stu.
00:30:53Well, I hope you brought a lot of them, Red.
00:30:55You're paying us quite a visit this time.
00:31:00That screw was always too fresh.
00:31:02I got a few new tricks that'll put him in his place.
00:31:05Yeah?
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07There's gonna be a lot of changes made around here for him, Stu.
00:31:19Sit down, Strike.
00:31:21Big Red said so.
00:31:22Big Red said sit down, Strike.
00:31:26Tomorrow at 10, Big Red says...
00:31:29Sit down, Strike.
00:31:30Sit down, Strike, eh?
00:31:32Why do I care if the wardens tough your baseball games?
00:31:36Well, Red says they ain't got no right to take away our recreation.
00:31:39Hey, what about you, Face?
00:31:41Count me out.
00:31:42I'm keeping my record clean and minding my own business.
00:31:44Just what is your business?
00:31:48So you're keeping your record clean, huh?
00:31:50Well, listen, you're no better than anybody else in this joint,
00:31:52or you wouldn't be here.
00:31:54Get this straight, Red.
00:31:56I'm not taking orders from you or anybody like you.
00:31:59Bitch, don't pull that kind of stuff on me and get away with it.
00:32:02You and me better understand each other.
00:32:04You may be a big shot to some of these guys,
00:32:06but to me, you're just a cheap crook.
00:32:08Why, you dirty, lying, port-a-gee...
00:32:11Come on.
00:32:22Red, you always were a troublemaker.
00:32:25You don't seem able to behave yourself outside or inside prison.
00:32:29Shannon, your record showed that before you came here,
00:32:33you had a reputation of being too handy with your fits.
00:32:36Your brawl today was responsible for injuries
00:32:38to a guard and two prisoners.
00:32:41What have you to say for yourselves?
00:32:44I didn't start it, Warden.
00:32:46And I suppose you didn't either.
00:32:48Sure, I started it.
00:32:52You're weak and solitary for both of them.
00:32:54But it'll give you a chance to cool off and think things over.
00:32:58Take him out.
00:33:09Come on, you. In here.
00:33:16If I had my way, you'd get a pardon for giving Red the works.
00:33:38THE END
00:33:57Come on out, Shannon.
00:34:08Okay, Jim. Take him to his cell.
00:34:21Hello, lad.
00:34:23Hello, caddy.
00:34:32Pretty tough down there, eh?
00:34:34Now I can understand why a lot of men leave prison worse than they come in.
00:34:50I sent you a message, Fish.
00:34:52What about it?
00:34:56I said, what about it?
00:34:58Well, this is the boy, Shannon.
00:35:28Joaquin.
00:35:33I forgot anything could be so beautiful.
00:35:37Oh, darling.
00:35:39How's the mate?
00:35:40He's growing like a weed.
00:35:42And Chris and Maria?
00:35:43They're still in the honeymoon stage. They sent you their love.
00:35:47How's old Ding getting along?
00:35:49Well, he and Chris will do all right when they get their skipper back.
00:35:52You know, you're still the only fisherman on the Pacific for them.
00:35:55It's only six months now.
00:35:56Yes, I know.
00:35:57Your lawyer said you were certainly for parole.
00:36:00Do you need anything?
00:36:01No.
00:36:03Do they... do they treat you all right?
00:36:05Say, this is the softest year's cruise a guy could want.
00:36:08Don't let's talk about that.
00:36:12I just want to look at you.
00:36:28And I'm to get $15 a week in a raise if I make good.
00:36:31Aren't I a business woman?
00:36:33Well, my money or everything.
00:36:35Time's up.
00:36:38I'll be seeing you, honey.
00:36:39Don't forget we got a date.
00:36:41That's only six months off.
00:36:44I won't forget.
00:36:46Just don't you stand me up.
00:36:49So long, honey.
00:36:53Bye, darling.
00:36:57Bye.
00:37:27Bye.
00:37:46Funny business, eh?
00:37:58All right, turn it off.
00:38:01This yours, Shannon?
00:38:03Yeah, I must have dropped it.
00:38:04Brother, you broke it.
00:38:05This will fix you up fine.
00:38:07Here, none of that.
00:38:08I didn't write that.
00:38:09I never saw it before.
00:38:10Tell that to the warden.
00:38:11Come on.
00:38:13Good luck, stir dude.
00:38:15I'll see you later.
00:38:16Bye.
00:38:17Bye.
00:38:18Bye.
00:38:19Bye.
00:38:20Bye.
00:38:21Bye.
00:38:22Bye.
00:38:23Bye.
00:38:24Bye.
00:38:25Bye.
00:38:26Good one.
00:38:29You did that, didn't you?
00:38:30No, not me.
00:38:31I'm keeping my record clean and minding my own business.
00:38:56Showing an inclination toward the same sort of physical violence which brought about your conviction on a manslaughter charge.
00:39:08After careful consideration and aware of the responsibility which society has imposed upon this board,
00:39:14we cannot do otherwise than to deny your parole at this time and fix your sentence at five years,
00:39:22ten months of which sentence you have already served.
00:39:26Who's next?
00:39:33Four more years.
00:39:42Telegram for Shannon.
00:39:47I'll take it.
00:39:52After you, lad.
00:40:12Bad news?
00:40:26No.
00:40:56♪♪
00:41:25Let's get out of the yard.
00:41:26There's going to be trouble.
00:41:28What's up?
00:41:30Big Red and some others got guns.
00:41:32They're going to try and shoot their way out, those fools.
00:41:36Come on, let's duck.
00:41:43Just a minute, stir dude.
00:41:48Stand still.
00:41:56I got news for you two guys.
00:41:58Walk at me and do just as I say or I'll let you have it.
00:42:01Come on.
00:42:26Hold it.
00:42:31Go to your left around this corner.
00:42:33Go on.
00:42:46Hey, get back in the big yard.
00:42:55Where's Blackie? He was supposed to meet us here.
00:42:58What's wrong, Red?
00:42:59Have you got Duckett?
00:43:00Sure, right here.
00:43:05Come on, get out of here.
00:43:09Come on, line up here.
00:43:10Get in line.
00:43:13Come on, line up here.
00:43:14Line up here.
00:43:16Come on, all of you.
00:43:17Get in line.
00:43:18Come on, get in line.
00:43:25Get in line.
00:43:35You're going through first.
00:43:37There's guards out there with machine guns.
00:43:39What do you think I brought you two along for?
00:43:43Get going.
00:43:45Get going or I'll let you have it right here.
00:43:56Don't go, Red.
00:44:03That's no good.
00:44:10There they are.
00:44:11Come on, let me through here.
00:44:12Behave yourself.
00:44:14Hold the fire.
00:44:16Get up.
00:44:25Search him.
00:44:36Take him away.
00:44:47Looks like I'm getting out of here before you, Red.
00:44:51No, no.
00:44:53Not a chance.
00:44:55Oh, I was getting mighty tired of the place anyhow.
00:45:10Smoke?
00:45:13No, thanks.
00:45:15You know what you did took nerve, Shannon.
00:45:18I guess you mean what Cappy did.
00:45:20You could have taken the credit for it, most men would.
00:45:23I'm not asking any favors.
00:45:25Well, the board thinks you'll rape one.
00:45:27They've granted you a parole.
00:45:29Now live up to its conditions, Shannon.
00:45:31And in three years, you'll regain all your rights of citizenship.
00:45:35Violate it, and you'll be back in here.
00:45:38Don't worry.
00:45:40My plans will never bring me back here again.
00:45:42Well, good luck to you, Shannon.
00:45:44Thanks.
00:45:55Oh, you old cuttlefish, you need a good hand.
00:46:22This is all keen.
00:46:26Why didn't you let us know what train you was coming on?
00:46:28We'd have been there with bells on.
00:46:29That's what I was afraid of.
00:46:31My golly, it's good to have you back.
00:46:33And you're looking all right, too.
00:46:35And I'm feeling more all right every minute.
00:46:37Say, how's my girl?
00:46:38Nothing wrong with her, but seeing you won't cure.
00:46:43Thanks, Dane, for taking care of things.
00:46:47It must seem kind of strange around here without Chris and Maria.
00:46:52Hey, did Jean tell you about the job she got for me?
00:46:54Yeah, in a cannery.
00:46:56And you're the best tuna skipper on the coast.
00:46:58Yeah, without anything to skip her.
00:47:00You know, a parole man's got to have a job waiting for him.
00:47:02Well, I'll get myself squared around soon.
00:47:04Maybe I'll get another boat.
00:47:05Sure you will.
00:47:07Well, if this tub was mine, you wouldn't have to go any further.
00:47:10Well, Dane, I got to be getting home.
00:47:11Well, if this tub was mine, you wouldn't have to go any further.
00:47:14Well, Dane, I got to be getting home.
00:47:15Well, Ding, I gotta be gettin' home.
00:47:21♪♪♪
00:47:41Hey there, fella, call your shots.
00:47:44Cap! Cap! Cap!
00:47:49Hello, baby.
00:47:52Gee, Cap, I'm glad you're back.
00:47:59Well, well, you been a good sailor?
00:48:02Aye, aye, sir.
00:48:04Well, where's our skipper?
00:48:06Cookin' dinner. Gee, I gotta tell you you're home.
00:48:09No, no, don't spoil my surprise. Wait a minute.
00:48:14How about some ice cream?
00:48:16Gee, thanks, Cap.
00:48:18♪♪♪
00:48:33Jackie, how many times...
00:48:36Joaquin! Joaquin!
00:48:40Skipper.
00:48:42Oh, darling, honey, I... I can't believe it even yet.
00:48:46I have kind of stood you up on that deck with me two years ago.
00:48:49Oh, but we're keeping that date, darling, aren't we?
00:48:52Those two years are gone, Joaquin, gone as though they'd never even been.
00:48:55Our life starts now, now together.
00:48:58Oh, it's not as easy as all that.
00:49:00I'll be on parole for three years.
00:49:02I know, sweet, I know.
00:49:04But once we're married and you've got your feet on a deck again,
00:49:06all this is going to be just like a bad dream.
00:49:09You don't understand, honey.
00:49:11We can't be married.
00:49:14We can't be married?
00:49:16Not until I'm released from parole.
00:49:18But why?
00:49:20A wife, a home, responsibilities.
00:49:23Why they give a man something to work for, to live for.
00:49:26I guess they got it figured out different.
00:49:29Maybe they don't want a guy to have anything to live for.
00:49:32Oh, darling, let's fool them.
00:49:44We've waited two whole years to keep a date without each other.
00:49:48Together we ought to be able to wait a little bit longer, huh?
00:49:55With you on deck, that guy could wait forever.
00:50:11Hello?
00:50:12Yes, he's working here.
00:50:15Sure, I know, but what difference does that make?
00:50:18His work is satisfactory.
00:50:21All right, sir, if you say so.
00:50:24Oh, Joaquin.
00:50:26Yes, sir.
00:50:27I'm afraid this is your last day.
00:50:29I've got to cut down on my help.
00:50:31Sorry.
00:50:32Maybe one thing will pick up.
00:50:46Well, Jean, this is a surprise.
00:50:49Perhaps it's also a surprise to you that Joaquin was discharged from the cannery today.
00:50:53I'm not interested.
00:50:54No, I know.
00:50:55You're only interested in punishing me through Joaquin.
00:50:57It's not my fault you chose a murderer.
00:50:59Joaquin didn't kill Jo.
00:51:01But even if he had, he's paid the penalty the law demanded, and he has a right to existence,
00:51:05a right to an honest livelihood, and you shan't defeat him.
00:51:08I don't have to.
00:51:09His prison record will do that.
00:51:12When you get tired of supporting your ex-convict sweetheart...
00:51:16Why, you...
00:51:25Gangway!
00:51:26Gangway!
00:51:27Looky, Mommy, what I got.
00:51:29What'd you get there?
00:51:30Cap gave it to me.
00:51:31Cap gave it to you?
00:51:33Sure, and you're going to get me skates, too.
00:51:36Isn't he keen, Mom?
00:51:38Gangway!
00:51:39Gangway!
00:51:40Now this is for you.
00:51:41For me?
00:51:42Well, what happened?
00:51:43I got a job.
00:51:44No.
00:51:45I'm skippering a tuna boat for an Eastern outfit that just started up.
00:51:48Seventy-five bucks a week and a percentage.
00:51:50Oh, that's too good to believe.
00:51:51No, it's only the beginning.
00:51:53We're going places from now on, you and me.
00:51:55We'll show them they can't keep a good guy down.
00:52:07Hello, Chief.
00:52:08Well, aren't you a little ahead of schedule, Sheriff?
00:52:11Yeah, I just dropped in to tell you I won't be able to report till late next month.
00:52:14Why not?
00:52:15Oh, I'm back in the business.
00:52:16I know.
00:52:17Skipper a tuna boat.
00:52:18She sails tomorrow.
00:52:19I'll be down off the coast of South America this time next month.
00:52:21Did you read your parole carefully?
00:52:23Sure.
00:52:24Then evidently you've forgotten that you're forbidden to leave the state of California.
00:52:28I'm sorry, Shannon.
00:52:30It's a tough break.
00:52:32What you don't understand, it means a fresh start, a future.
00:52:35I know.
00:52:36And I wish there was something I could do about it.
00:52:38But no one can.
00:52:39It's the law.
00:52:51Hi, Shannon.
00:52:52These jailbirds sure get around, don't they?
00:53:01You meet a good man, mister?
00:53:03Uh, we're laying men off, not hiring.
00:53:09Nothing today.
00:53:22Oh, it's a swell night, isn't it?
00:53:25Look, Joaquin, look, a falling star.
00:53:27Make a wish.
00:53:32Getting a little tired of wishing, darling?
00:53:34A little.
00:53:36You know, I was just wondering.
00:53:39Things are a little slow here in Port Harbor.
00:53:41Maybe, maybe if you went on to another town where there's more activity.
00:53:45So, you think they got me on the run, huh?
00:53:47Oh, no.
00:53:48Well, don't you worry.
00:53:49I'll get a job, and right here, too.
00:53:51Now, come on.
00:53:52Tell me goodnight and send me home.
00:53:54Oh, darling, I don't like the idea of you bunking on that smelly little boat.
00:53:59After all, this is your home.
00:54:00And Jackie and I...
00:54:01Make it a home, and that's that.
00:54:03You know, I think I'm going to like you when I get to know you better.
00:54:08Goodnight.
00:54:09Goodnight.
00:54:15Aren't you Joaquin Shannon?
00:54:17Yes.
00:54:18Sorry, it's the rule of the company not to hire men who are on parole.
00:54:33Hi, Taylor.
00:54:34Hello, Skipper.
00:54:36Any luck today?
00:54:37No, it's the same old story.
00:54:39I'm beginning to think you had the right idea about my getting out of town.
00:54:42Oh, nonsense.
00:54:44Things are picking up.
00:54:45You're bound to get something soon.
00:54:47That's what I thought.
00:54:49But when a job's not forbidden by a guy's parole,
00:54:52he's poised and ready to go.
00:54:55You know, I've been thinking about it for a long time.
00:54:58That's what I thought.
00:54:59But when a job's not forbidden by a guy's parole,
00:55:02he's poised in any way because he's been in prison.
00:55:06Ah, how on earth do they expect a parole man to make a living?
00:55:10They don't give you the answer to that one.
00:55:15A wolf at the door would have it paroled, huh?
00:55:17Well, we'll pull him and eat him.
00:55:19And that's an idea.
00:55:20They say they're very tasty stuffed with ripe California technicalities.
00:55:24How did I ever fall for a dizzy game like you?
00:55:27I don't know.
00:55:28How did you?
00:55:33Jackie!
00:55:35Jackie, what on earth?
00:55:36What's the matter?
00:55:37Hey, fella, what have you been doing?
00:55:38I had a fuck-up fight.
00:55:40Well, did you win?
00:55:41Yes, he did.
00:55:42And you're not miscoding him.
00:55:43It was in a good cause.
00:55:45But a bit of soap and water wouldn't hurt him.
00:55:47No, we'll go do a little repair work.
00:55:49Come on, darling.
00:55:50Well, how do you like that?
00:55:52He ain't a little cuss, ain't he?
00:55:53Pretty well bunged up.
00:55:54It's not his body that's aching, Joaquin.
00:55:56It's the loyal heart of him.
00:55:58What do you mean, father?
00:55:59Well, uh, you know how these young hoodlums are.
00:56:04They're pretty free with their tongues and, uh...
00:56:07Well, Jackie'd have none of it were you were concerned.
00:56:12I see.
00:56:13But not a word to him.
00:56:15You're not supposed to know.
00:56:17I understand.
00:56:19Thank you, father.
00:56:21Thank you, father.
00:56:23That's all right, my boy.
00:56:32It's the only way, Ding.
00:56:34I've been too dumb to see what all this was doing to Gene and Jackie.
00:56:37But I sure got wise to myself this afternoon, and I'm getting out.
00:56:40Yeah, I don't know, but maybe it's a good idea.
00:56:43Get away for a while.
00:56:44Get yourself squared round.
00:56:46Things will be mighty different.
00:56:48When you come back, well, you can tell them all where to head in.
00:56:50Try to make Gene see it that way, will you?
00:56:52Don't she want you to go?
00:56:54She don't even know I'm going.
00:56:56A little too tough to say goodbye.
00:56:58I'll write to her when I get set.
00:57:00Well, good luck to you, lad.
00:57:02I'm betting on you.
00:57:03Thanks, Ding.
00:57:06Kind of look out after things, will you?
00:57:09So long.

00:57:55Hello, Georges.
00:58:09Hi there, bar boy.
00:58:11Give us some of that oldest two-year-old whiskey.

00:58:36Don't you remember me?
00:58:38Yeah, how are you, Sophie? When did you get out?
00:58:40About six months ago.
00:58:42Hey, you don't look like you've been eating very regularly.
00:58:45Well, I'm on a kind of a diet. It's good for the indigestion.
00:58:48Yes, well, I don't know diet.
00:58:51I need company.
00:58:53Let you and I sneak up on a couple of T-bones, huh?
00:58:56Okay.
00:58:59Well, I got the old Green Sox team in a championship form.
00:59:03Series stands three to three and the big game's coming up.
00:59:06What do you suppose happens?
00:59:08My time's up.
00:59:13Feel a little better?
00:59:14Like a million, thanks to you.
00:59:16How come you're broke?
00:59:18Well, folks don't seem to want to hire parole convicts.
00:59:21No wonder you're starving to death.
00:59:23Why don't you get wise to yourself?
00:59:25There's a lot of shortcuts to easy dough.
00:59:27Well, I don't know anything that ain't crooked.
00:59:29I don't fall for that stuff.
00:59:31I don't either.
00:59:32I don't have nothing to do with any racketeering on the up-and-up.
00:59:38You know, I might be the answer to your maiden's prayer.
00:59:42You're a sailor, ain't you?
00:59:43I used to be.
00:59:45I did my own tuna boat for five years.
00:59:47You mean you can steer them and find places?
00:59:50Sure.
00:59:52Like maybe as far away as South America?
00:59:55Oh, I made Ecuador many a time.
00:59:57Ecuador.
00:59:58Is that a lady bullfighter?
01:00:01No, that's a port in South America.
01:00:04Brother, you got a job.
01:00:06You're the skipper of my new boat, the Lottie B.
01:00:08Sure.
01:00:10And me and the Lottie B is gonna take you to South America, huh?
01:00:13You think I'm kidding, huh?
01:00:14I just bought it.
01:00:16There she is, all clear and free, waiting for us to go aboard.
01:00:20And what do you want with this?
01:00:21It's a fishing boat.
01:00:22Right down your alley, ain't it?
01:00:24Here's a little dough.
01:00:25You go out and buy yourself whatever you'll need.
01:00:27Now, wait a minute, Sobe.
01:00:28Don't get me mixed up with anything phony.
01:00:30You don't think I'd get a pound of jam, do you?
01:00:33Now, look.
01:00:34Here's the setup that's a pushover.
01:00:36Nah, thanks just the same, Sobe.
01:00:39But I'm afraid this is not the kind of a job I'm looking for.
01:00:42Well, have it your own way.
01:00:44I think you're making an awful chump out of yourself.
01:00:46Maybe.
01:00:47But I have to play it the way I see it.
01:00:58Thanks for the feed and the offer, Sobe.
01:01:00Okay.
01:01:01I still think you're a hundred percent chump.
01:01:06Thanks.
01:01:08Oh, you don't get the idea, Sobe.
01:01:10I'll get a job pretty soon.
01:01:11I'll be back on my feet again.
01:01:12I won't have anything to worry about.
01:01:17Well, so long.
01:01:18So long.
01:01:20Your name's Joaquin Shannon, isn't it?
01:01:23Yeah.
01:01:24You're wanted as a parole violator.
01:01:27Come along.
01:01:31Come on.
01:01:32Here I come.
01:01:42Smart trick.
01:01:43You think I want to let him take me back?
01:01:45Can't figure you.
01:01:46You just talk about jobs and going straight,
01:01:48and all the time you're hiding a firecracker.
01:01:50Are you nuts?
01:01:52Say, you still want to skip over that boat of yours?
01:01:54Now you're getting smart.
01:01:56Come on.
01:01:57We're leaving for San Pedro right now.
01:02:12We'd better stay down here, Shannon.
01:02:14Keep undercover.
01:02:15You're better to pull out about midnight.
01:02:17I'll take care of the grub and everything.
01:02:42You're late.
01:02:43What kept you?
01:02:44Nothing.
01:02:45Say, I'm sticking my neck out plenty being here at all.
01:02:48Look at this.
01:02:51Statewide search for escaped convict.
01:02:53Captain of the yard dies.
01:02:55Second victim of Tuesday's sensational jailbreak.
01:02:58Reward, dead or alive.
01:03:00That screw had it coming to him.
01:03:02Yeah, well, you got a burn coming to you
01:03:04if we don't lamb out of here in a hurry.
01:03:06We got to beat it to the open sea
01:03:07before them harbor cops get snoopy.
01:03:09Here.
01:03:10Bring this along.
01:03:11We got a little cargo to pick up.
01:03:13Say, are you nuts?
01:03:14You're going to pull that job for them cops
01:03:16on your tail the way they are?
01:03:17Oh, quit squawking, will you?
01:03:18We got to have dough, ain't we?
01:03:20Mushy and Mack will have it all set.
01:03:21It'll be a pushover.
01:03:23I'm happy you're back, Mattie.
01:03:31Now, where were you today?
01:03:34We were at a cesar.
01:03:36Cesar?
01:03:38Cesar.
01:03:39Well, I didn't say cesar.
01:03:40Cesar's the name of the city.
01:03:43Ah.
01:03:44Well, what day is it tomorrow?
01:03:45Ted Bener.
01:03:46Oh, look, we're going to have a gu光 festival,
01:03:48a celebration of peace and love.
01:03:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
01:04:20Hello?
01:04:48Joaquin! What happened? Where on earth are you?
01:04:52I'm at the harbor in San Pedro. The Lottie B. Tied up alongside a pier. Pier 18.
01:05:00I can't get away, but I've got to see you tonight.
01:05:05And hurry. Hurry, I haven't got much time.
01:05:08All right, darling, I'll be right there. But, but what...
01:05:17Joaquin!
01:05:43Go aboard. Somebody might see us.
01:05:47Oh, darling, I've been nearly frantic. The police are looking for you.
01:05:57Well, they'll have to find me first. South America's a long way home.
01:06:01South America?
01:06:03Yeah. I couldn't go without seeing you.
01:06:08Oh, Jean, it means a fresh start. A chance of happiness.
01:06:11Means I'll be able to send for you soon and...
01:06:12You can't do that, Joaquin. You'll be a fugitive, a criminal.
01:06:18Where do you think I've been all these months?
01:06:20A jailbird. An ex-con. Facing a stone wall at every turn.
01:06:28What chance is there for a parole convict?
01:06:31The world has no use for them, no place for them, no job for them.
01:06:35Haven't got a job, they send you back to jail.
01:06:37And there you rot for a few more years, and the whole thing begins all over again.
01:06:41Well, it's a swell merry-go-round, but this is where I'm getting off.
01:06:44Oh, no, darling.
01:06:48Jean, don't you see this is our only chance to live again?
01:06:50Oh, then we haven't a chance. What kind of a life would that be?
01:06:53No home, no country, no peace of mind. Only fear, suspicion, lies.
01:06:58You wouldn't be happy doing that. Oh, don't you see, darling? Don't you see?
01:07:07No. All I can see is gray walls and iron bars and
01:07:12marching feet and bitter, hopeless faces. Everything else is just words.
01:07:20Jean.
01:07:25Soapy, what's that guy doing here?
01:07:29Never mind now. We gotta get out of here quick.
01:07:32Come on, Soapy.
01:07:35Soapy, you're hurt bad. What happened?
01:07:37You heard what he said, sturdood. Cut this tub loose and head out to sea.
01:07:43Come on. I'll put you ashore.
01:07:47Oh, no, you don't. You stay right here, sister. You're gonna take a little cruise.
01:07:52I don't know what you've been up to, but I got a good idea. I'm getting her out of here.
01:07:54Not and stay healthy, you don't. She stays right here.
01:07:57One yap out of her and the harbor cops would be right on us.
01:08:01Go on over there and see if you can make yourself useful. Try and do something for Soapy.
01:08:04Now, you and me are gonna cut this boat loose.
01:08:06Go up on deck and don't try any funny business,
01:08:08or I'll let you have just what I gave two other guys.
01:08:11Go on, get out of here.
01:08:16Look after him.
01:08:25Don't get any ideas in your head, sturdood.
01:08:28I'm gonna stick right here for quite a while.
01:08:41I never thought it'd be like this in this swell-looking day and taking care of me.
01:08:56Hey, lady.
01:09:01Shannon's the right guy. Tom Soapy didn't mean to put him in a spot.
01:09:08You mustn't talk anymore, Nell.
01:09:09There's something he must know.
01:09:14Red. Red is the man.
01:09:25How's Soapy?
01:09:26His troubles are over.
01:09:31Dead?
01:09:32Poor Soapy.
01:09:44Soapy said to Teddy he was sorry he got you in a jam.
01:09:47Yeah, I know.
01:09:51Listen, Joaquin, he told me Big Red killed Joe.
01:09:56Big Red?
01:09:57Yes, he not only killed my brother, but he killed a guard breaking out of prison.
01:10:03And he's a guy I've been serving all this time for.
01:10:09What are you doing?
01:10:10I'm going back.
01:10:11That's what he thinks, lady.
01:10:13But he's gonna change his mind.
01:10:15Ain't you, sturdood?
01:10:17Well, ain't you?
01:10:20All right, Red.
01:10:22I guess you win.
01:10:24Now you're talking.
01:10:27Soapy.
01:10:58Soapy.
01:11:09Joaquin, are you all right?
01:11:11Sure, I'm all right.
01:11:13Hey, what kind of a skipper are you?
01:11:15Get up there and head her back to land while I make our passenger comfortable.
01:11:19Aye, aye, sir.
01:11:27That's right, skipper.
01:11:28Do north.
01:11:32They can't send you back to prison now, can they, Joaquin?
01:11:34Not when I deliver Big Red to them, they can't.
01:11:36I'll get out of this with a clean slate.
01:11:39Red Kincaid.
01:11:42And all the time I thought it was another guy that killed Joe.
01:11:45Who?
01:11:48Well, I thought it was Chris.
01:11:51Chris?
01:11:54Oh, Joaquin, what a slow guy you are.
01:11:57They'll never get you away from me again.
