00:00:30♪♪
00:00:46♪♪
00:01:04Creases!
00:01:05Yes, Miss?
00:01:06You forgot the flowers.
00:01:07I'm just going to pick them up now, Miss Lewis.
00:01:11Creases!
00:01:12Yes, Miss?
00:01:13Never mind the flowers.
00:01:14I'll get them later.
00:01:21No, not now.
00:01:23Bob, Mr. Terry gets here.
00:01:25Yes, Miss?
00:01:27Say, Lewis, I forgot to tell you I invited that young Terry fellow out to dinner.
00:01:30Yes, I know.
00:01:33You know?
00:01:36You know?
00:01:39Yes, he told me.
00:01:41I dropped in his office when I was up to see you.
00:01:44Oh, so that's the reason for all this commotion.
00:01:48The way you're fussing around, one would think you were going to try to make an impression.
00:01:51Why shouldn't I?
00:01:52Didn't you tell me he was one of the brightest young men in the company?
00:01:55Besides, I think he's nice.
00:01:57Yes, of course, of course. He's a very nice young man.
00:02:05You're Mr. Bob, ain't you?
00:02:07Yeah, thanks.
00:02:12Well, don't you think you'd better go welcome him?
00:02:15Why, yes, I think I should.
00:02:23Hello, Bob.
00:02:24Oh, hello.
00:02:26Come in the living room. Father's in there.
00:02:30Hello, Bob.
00:02:31How do you do, sir?
00:02:32You do sit down.
00:02:33Thanks.
00:02:35Why, this is a lovely home.
00:02:38You must be very happy here, sir.
00:02:39Yes, I am.
00:02:40And as the years go by, the old walls and things grow warmer.
00:02:43They seem to caress and comfort.
00:02:45Now, I like that.
00:02:46He always told me it was my caresses that made him happy.
00:02:49Dad always goes poetic when he talks about the house.
00:02:52You'd better change the subject or he'll begin to sing again.
00:02:55He always goes poetic when he talks about the house.
00:02:57You'd better change the subject or he'll begin to sing about it.
00:03:00No, I mean really sing.
00:03:02He'll sing Home on the Range or Home, Sweet Home.
00:03:05Home on the Range?
00:03:06Have you ever heard me sing about... Never mind.
00:03:08Do you have a cigar?
00:03:10No, no, thanks very much.
00:03:12A cigarette.
00:03:19I thought it was a cubehead.
00:03:22Oh, by the way, Bob, what was that idea you wanted to tell me about?
00:03:25You said it was a new sales angle.
00:03:27Well, it's not exactly my department, but if you don't mind my talking shop...
00:03:30Go ahead, young man.
00:03:32As a matter of fact, young dreams are romantic to me.
00:03:34They remind me of my own when I was starting out.
00:03:36See, I bet you worked hard to make yours come true.
00:03:38Well, some of them did pan out.
00:03:40And so will yours if you work hard and stick to it.
00:03:43Well, I've given this one a lot of time and thought, if that'll help any.
00:03:46My idea, Mr. Borden, is a pretty radical departure in modern home construction.
00:03:51I've designed a structural framework for roof, wall, and floor joists
00:03:55made entirely of steel bars, interwoven and welded into a single unit.
00:03:59It's met every test for weight and stress
00:04:02and should have perfect resistance to fires, earthquakes, storms, or anything.
00:04:06Well, you could make the walls as thick as you like,
00:04:08which would add to the insulation value.
00:04:10And it should cost very little additional.
00:04:12Well, there's still a minor problem.
00:04:14A fire breaks inside the walls.
00:04:16But Mr. O'Donnell assured me that a sheet metal break would add very little to the cost.
00:04:20Oh.
00:04:22Has O'Donnell been working with you on this?
00:04:24Yes, sir. He checked my figures as to cost. Why?
00:04:27Well, we're letting O'Donnell go.
00:04:30He came to work intoxicated.
00:04:32But he has such a good record.
00:04:34Why, he's been with you so long.
00:04:36Yes, he's a very valuable man.
00:04:38But he broke one of the definite rules of the company.
00:04:41I believe the rules are made to be kept.
00:04:43You mean you're not going to give him a second chance?
00:04:46According to my principles of discipline and organization,
00:04:48there is no second chance.
00:04:50The men that work for me know that.
00:04:53I see.
00:04:55Remember that young man.
00:04:58Then you want me to pick them after all.
00:05:01Shh.
00:05:03I'll get them myself.
00:05:06No, Croesus, you're much too busy.
00:05:10Would you like to help me cut some flowers for the table?
00:05:12Oh, yes, I'd like to.
00:05:14If you'll excuse me.
00:05:16I'm afraid you'll have to, whether I excuse you or not.
00:05:19Thanks.
00:05:23Well, what's the matter with you, Croesus?
00:05:26He talks just like you did when you was a boy.
00:05:29Oh, oh, thank you, Croesus.
00:05:31You mean he's a fine, intelligent young man.
00:05:33Yes, very intelligent.
00:05:35Very intelligent.
00:05:39He's a good man.

00:09:18mr. Borden I didn't take that money after examining all the evidence I wish
00:09:25I could believe that but I can't however you'll have the opportunity of proving
00:09:29it to a jury you mean you're gonna turn me over it's pretty difficult for me to
00:09:35do this in your case Bob but I have no choice but I can't believe that you
00:09:46well it just doesn't seem possible that's all I have to say about
00:10:03hey hey this court is now in session all persons having business before the
00:10:10court give heed and he shall be heard be seated yes he was entrusted with the
00:10:19money it is the duty of this jury to see that the laws of this land are enforced
00:10:28gentlemen of the jury I charge you that if in your opinion the prosecution has
00:10:34proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt your verdict should be guilty we find the
00:10:41defendant Robert Terry guilty of embezzlement as charged in the indictment
00:10:46how could you do this I always thought you were so fair

00:14:24anniversary I've been in here ten years today I can get my parole now ten long years yes
00:14:32thing yeah I was thinking of the ten years I still got a go and the five years I've been in
00:14:42this place five years he took out of my life more like 5,000 years just because his ideas of
00:14:50justice demanded a victim yeah no kid you sure got a wrong deal but you'll get out and when you
00:14:58do we're gonna have a lot of fun paying old board and all I hope he lives long enough I'll make him
00:15:07pay for every minute I've been in this place why he swore my life away today took that stand I
00:15:12had us all future all planned out for myself steel frames from buildings steel bars interwoven
00:15:23steel bars steel bars I'll be getting my parole soon kid and when I do I'll take care of them for
00:15:39you say you know there's a lot of ways that nobody could tell who did it now you take them a rat
00:15:44fellers and they just sneak up behind a guy see with the long piece of silk cord in her hand with
00:15:50a fancy knot tied it sling it over a guy's head give it a quick twist and go and nobody knows who
00:15:58did it of course then there's a way I see the fella do it he just see took these long poison
00:16:07toothpicks he shoved them underneath the guy's fingernails and well then there's a way that a
00:16:16old-fashioned method to you know providing you can catch a guy asleep
00:16:36you can imagine how he must have suffered hurry and he didn't deserve it he was innocent
00:16:42I can well understand how bitter he must feel toward me very likely John but I've known Bob
00:16:50all his life and I believe he listened to me yes it might help if you could convince him
00:16:57how sincerely I regret father have you seen the papers Bob will be free yes dear how do you do
00:17:04dr. Nichols are you a child we were just discussing it Lois well aren't you glad of course I'm glad

00:17:22he's been through oh but you're not father you only did what you thought was right after all
00:17:27it was a jury that convicted him just the same he spent five terrible years in prison for something
00:17:32he didn't do and I consider myself responsible I'm going to do everything in my power Harry to
00:17:40make it up to him everything your father thought I could go to Bob and perhaps make him understand
00:17:46oh I think he will understand Bob was always very fair I'm sure he'll realize you only did
00:17:52what you thought was just the name of justice justice there's irony for you what have you

00:37:46I'd like to be in her shoes.
00:37:48That's Bob Tickery.
00:37:49Don't lie to them, good Bob.
00:37:55You're three white and twenty-one.
00:37:58I wish I could feel like that.
00:37:59Oh, laugh at things, Bob.
00:38:01Come out in the sun.
00:38:06Go get Terry.
00:38:17So you're mucked.
00:38:18I had a couple of guys take care of his bank, but he never showed up, and this smithy told
00:38:22me he left us all without the banking hours.
00:38:24All right.
00:38:26Clear out before Terry gets here.
00:38:35Hello.
00:38:40The boss wants to see you.
00:38:49All right.
00:38:50Excuse me, please.
00:38:51Certainly.
00:38:52Yes, love.
00:38:54How long have you known him?
00:38:55Ever since I was a little girl.
00:38:56Why, hello, Todd.
00:38:57Hello, Miss Lois.
00:38:58I just couldn't resist telling you how nice you looked out there dancing.
00:39:06You just seemed to float around like smoke.
00:39:08Why, Todd, what a pretty speech.
00:39:10I didn't know you were a poet.
00:39:12Did I say a poem?
00:39:13I must have got it from Bob.
00:39:17You don't like Bob much, do you?
00:39:19No.
00:39:20Do you?
00:39:21Can you keep a secret?
00:39:22You know darn well I can't.
00:39:23Well, I hate him.
00:39:26Just like you do.
00:39:29He's a pretty lucky guy, but he doesn't seem to realize it.
00:39:34I'd do anything in the world to straighten him out.
00:39:36Yeah.
00:39:37I understand, Miss Lois.
00:39:40Pardon me.
00:39:42You wanted me?
00:39:45Yes.
00:39:46Sit down, Bob.
00:39:53Looks like you're going to bring me in a lot of business.
00:39:55And I want to reciprocate.
00:39:56I've got a swanky apartment house, and I want you to move into it.
00:40:00It won't cost you anything.
00:40:02Well, that's mighty nice, but I'm not ready to move just yet.
00:40:07No?
00:40:08What is it?
00:40:09The girl?
00:40:10No, she hasn't anything to do with it.
00:40:13Okay, Terry, let's quit sparring and get down to business.
00:40:16Todd told me while you was living up there.
00:40:19How would you like to take a crack at boarding?
00:40:22Well...
00:40:28That's all I've been waiting for.
00:40:30Okay.
00:40:32$250,000 worth of negotiable bonds were turned over to the old man today,
00:40:37and he didn't put them into his bank.
00:40:40Now, suppose we could locate those bonds,
00:40:43and something would happen to him tonight,
00:40:46so that he couldn't get them into the bank tomorrow morning.
00:40:48I get you.
00:40:51No.
00:40:53They'd suspect me, and I'd be sent up again.
00:40:56But you don't do the job.
00:40:58You stay right here with all those people around you,
00:41:01including Borden's daughter.
00:41:08Say, Borden left the house at 9.30 tonight while I was working here.
00:41:15You're not taking any chance.
00:41:19If he couldn't prove a theft,
00:41:22he'd be in the same spot I was.
00:41:27Why, he'd be indicted for... for embezzlement.
00:41:31Hmm.
00:41:34Here.
00:41:39That's the combination of the safe.
00:41:41The bonds are there.
00:41:42Yeah?
00:41:43Oh, and...
00:41:45here's the key to the front door.
00:41:47Oh, that makes it easy.
00:41:49I'll take care of you.
00:41:51No, I don't want any cut.
00:41:53I just want to watch him squirm.
00:41:58Listen.
00:42:00Look.
00:42:02The safe is right there.
00:42:04But it's electrified.
00:42:05And the switch that turns the current off,
00:42:07and the lights on,
00:42:09is down this side of the wall,
00:42:11right there.
00:42:14Waiter.
00:42:17Yes?
00:42:18My check.
00:42:39You're very impertinent.
00:42:41You know, I think you got something there.
00:42:47Say, can you imagine that?
00:42:49After all the service I give that guy,
00:42:51he turns out to be a stint.
00:42:54Say, I hope everything goes off all right tonight.
00:42:57Don't worry.
00:42:58The chief knows his potatoes.
00:43:00He ain't never slipped up yet.
00:43:09Hey.
00:43:11Hey.
00:43:13Hey.
00:43:15Hey.
00:43:45Hey.
00:44:00Oh, Bob, why did you do it?
00:44:15Oh.
00:44:41Hello, Father.
00:44:42Oh, hello, dear.
00:44:43What are you doing up so late?
00:44:44Oh, I wasn't tired.
00:44:45Now, you run along to bed.
00:44:46I want to talk to Bob.
00:44:47I had a grand time at Bob's place, but I'm dead.
00:44:50Good night, Bob.
00:44:51Don't let him keep you up too late.
00:44:52Good night, darling.
00:44:53Good night, dear.
00:45:01Does she know?
00:45:02Know what?
00:45:04Never mind.
00:45:06First, I want to assure you that whatever happens,
00:45:08I'm not going to let your name be brought into this.
00:45:10I told you I was willing to pay any way you liked.
00:45:14And I meant it.
00:45:16Naturally, I will be charged with embezzlement for the loss of those bonds.
00:45:19Yeah.
00:45:20That's what I figured.
00:45:22I hope you haven't made any mistake and left evidence
00:45:24that might be uncovered in the investigation.
00:45:26Don't worry.
00:45:29You were an honest man when you went to prison, Bob.
00:45:32So whatever you are now and whatever you do now
00:45:34is not your responsibility.
00:45:36It's mine.
00:45:38I had hoped that you might believe that I sincerely wanted to make amends to you
00:45:42for my mistake.
00:45:44Well, you didn't believe me.
00:45:46I can't blame you for that.
00:45:49I didn't believe you once.
00:45:51Listen.
00:45:52Talking won't change things.
00:45:54There's just one thing I want you to promise me.
00:45:56That you'll see this thing through.
00:45:58I'll see it through.
00:46:00I've been waiting years for this.
00:46:02Borden, I didn't come here in the first place because I was fond of you
00:46:05or believed your little scheme about wanting to atone for what you did to me.
00:46:08I came here to find out what would hurt you the worst.
00:46:10Well, I found out.
00:46:11Now you're going up for the same thing I did.
00:46:14And in your opinion that will square our account?
00:46:18I'm glad.
00:46:19Thanks, Bob.
00:46:24Well, we'll see.
00:46:27Good morning, Dad.
00:46:29Good morning, Lois.
00:46:31Where's Bob? Did he oversleep?
00:46:33No, he had to leave early.
00:46:37You know, I think he's going to be much happier with his new job.
00:46:41Well, what's the matter with you?
00:46:44Lois, dear.
00:46:45I've got to go.
00:46:47I've got to go.
00:46:49I've got to go.
00:46:51I've got to go.
00:46:53I've got to go.
00:46:55Lois, dear.
00:46:56Something has happened.
00:46:58There's no chance of my sparing you this, so I might as well tell you.
00:47:02Those bonds that were in my safe are missing.
00:47:05How awful.
00:47:08Bob.
00:47:09Everyone will suspect him.
00:47:12Did you tell him how to open the safe?
00:47:15I never told anybody but you.
00:47:19But it couldn't have been Bob.
00:47:21He was at the club all evening.
00:47:23All evening?
00:47:25Yes.
00:47:27Well, my dear, whatever happens, I want you to stick to that.
00:47:30Did you call the police?
00:47:33Yes. Yes, they were here last night.
00:47:36What did they say?
00:47:38They don't believe that it was robbery.
00:47:40There's no signs of breaking in.
00:47:42What will your board of directors say?
00:47:45They'll probably accuse me of taking them.
00:47:49Oh, but they can't.
00:47:52How can someone who worked with you for so long be so heartless?
00:47:55I couldn't blame them for that.
00:47:57After all, those bonds were entrusted to me to be deposited in the bank.
00:48:02And I can't produce them.
00:48:05Well, I'm in your hands, gentlemen.
00:48:08Where are the bonds, Borden?
00:48:10I don't know.
00:48:12You're quite sure?
00:48:15Well, a quarter of a million dollars' worth of bonds couldn't just get up and walk out of an electrified safe.
00:48:19If you're insinuating that Terry did it
00:48:21just because you believe that anyone who has served time in prison
00:48:23must come out a criminal, you're wrong.
00:48:26Lois and I are the only ones who knew how to get into that safe.
00:48:29Well, that eliminates the possibility of robbery then, doesn't it?
00:48:32Look here, Meriwether, you're not accusing Borden of...
00:48:34I'm not accusing him of anything.
00:48:36Well, the way you spoke...
00:48:38I'm entitled to speak any way I wish.
00:48:40$100,000 of that money is mine.
00:48:43And I reserve the right to question, as I please,
00:48:45the man who admits his criminal negligence.
00:48:47We all know that Borden is honest.
00:48:49That's what he's colored on,
00:48:51his reputation for honesty.
00:48:53But it's easy enough to see that...
00:48:55But, Jonas,
00:48:57if you'll step out of the room for a few minutes,
00:48:59we'll take a vote on this.
00:49:01Certainly.
00:49:05Doing a stretch won't hurt him half as bad
00:49:07as losing his good reputation.
00:49:10Yeah.
00:49:12Just like you were when you were first sent up.
00:49:15I'll never forget it.
00:49:17You worried about your reputation.
00:49:21Gee, what a greenhorn you were.
00:49:25Yeah, but the only trouble with you is, though,
00:49:28I think you're letting him off too easy.
00:49:31I think you should have choked him.
00:49:35Still, on the other hand,
00:49:38what about Miss Lewis?
00:49:40It's gonna hit her pretty hard.
00:49:42Ah, stop it.
00:49:44Do you think you can make me change my mind?
00:49:46All right.
00:49:48You wanted to get him, and you got him.
00:49:51You bet I got him.
00:49:55Well, gentlemen,
00:49:57we've talked this thing over, John,
00:49:59and we realize the temptation
00:50:01to save yourself from total ruin was overwhelming.
00:50:06We will give you precisely 24 hours
00:50:08to return those bonds
00:50:10or the equivalent amount in cash.
00:50:13You know I have no cash,
00:50:15and I have no means of raising it.
00:50:17I'm sorry, John,
00:50:19but if you can't,
00:50:21we'll be forced to have you indicted.
00:50:24People against John Borden.
00:50:27I wish to offer as evidence
00:50:29this photograph of the electrified safe
00:50:32in which he claims he placed the bonds.
00:50:36You haven't the slightest suspicion
00:50:38that anyone else who had access to your safe
00:50:40might have taken the bonds?
00:50:43No, I haven't.
00:50:46In rendering your verdict,
00:50:48you may take into consideration
00:50:50the unexplained disappearance
00:50:52of the bonds entrusted to the defendant.
00:50:55Gentlemen of the jury,
00:50:57have you agreed on a verdict?
00:51:00We have.
00:51:02How say you, guilty or not guilty?
00:51:05We find the defendant, John Borden,
00:51:07guilty of embezzlement
00:51:09as charged in the indictment.
00:51:13Dad,
00:51:15I love you so.
00:51:18But, John, can't you understand
00:51:20what this attitude of yours means?
00:51:22You're up for sentence this afternoon.
00:51:26There's no use telling me you haven't a clue
00:51:28as to who took those bonds.
00:51:30I know better.
00:51:32I'm sorry, Sam.
00:51:35I have nothing to say.
00:51:39Well, it's too bad, John.
00:51:41There's nothing more we can do
00:51:43without your cooperation.
00:51:47Goodbye.
00:51:49I'll see you this afternoon.
00:51:51Goodbye, Sam.
00:51:53And thank you.
00:51:59Sam!
00:52:01How's he taking it?
00:52:03Gritting his teeth like the Spartan
00:52:05he is and making the best of it.
00:52:08Oh, it's terrible.
00:52:10Isn't there anything we can do?
00:52:13There is, but he won't do it.
00:52:15Yes, he will.
00:52:17What is it?
00:52:19By putting the blame where it belongs,
00:52:21on Bob Terry.
00:52:23I was afraid you'd say that.
00:52:28You know,
00:52:30your father, out of a fool's sense of idealism,
00:52:32is going to the penitentiary
00:52:34without opening his mouth.
00:52:50Father,
00:52:52if Bob took those bonds
00:52:54and did that to you,
00:52:56do you think he's worthy of any consideration?
00:52:59My dear,
00:53:01you don't know what you're saying.
00:53:03Father,
00:53:05I'm going to ask you one question
00:53:07and you must answer it.
00:53:09Yes?
00:53:11Did you lie about giving Bob
00:53:13the combination to the safe?
00:53:15Lois, my dear,
00:53:17go home, please.
00:53:19Your nerves are on end.
00:53:21You're in no condition to talk anymore about this.
00:53:29All right, Father.
00:53:34Good night, my dear.
00:53:51Well,
00:53:53that's the end of his room.
00:53:55I wonder
00:53:57how he feels about now.
00:54:01I remember a day just like this.
00:54:04Nearly six years ago,
00:54:06only it was me
00:54:08that was sweating my heart out in that cell
00:54:10and praying to God for a break.
00:54:12Now he'll know how it feels
00:54:14to have half his life taken away from him.
00:54:17He'll know what prison,
00:54:19and rotten food, and gun towers,
00:54:21and a million nights will do to a human being.
00:54:23He had it coming to him and he'll get it.
00:54:25I always said you'd get him in a spot.
00:54:27You were right.
00:54:30And you've been swell.
00:54:34Just one thing, pal.
00:54:36You gonna bring her up again?
00:54:38Yeah, but she's such a swell thing.
00:54:40This will just about break her heart.
00:54:42She ain't never done nothing to you personally.
00:54:44Ah, quit it, will you?
00:54:53Hello, Miss Lewis.
00:54:56Hello, Todd.
00:54:58Where's Bob?
00:55:00He just went down to the locker room.
00:55:02Uh, Miss Lewis,
00:55:04I'm awfully sorry about everything.
00:55:07Thanks, Todd.
00:55:09You're swell.
00:55:11Doesn't seem there's much a fella can do
00:55:13in a case like this.
00:55:15Todd,
00:55:17my father's getting old.
00:55:19He'll be all right.
00:55:22My father's getting old.
00:55:24He'll never live out his sentence.
00:55:26How do you suppose Bob's going to feel
00:55:28when he knows he sent a sweet old man to certain death?
00:55:32It'll be pretty awful.
00:55:34Do you think Bob had anything to do with it?
00:55:36Yes.
00:55:38I want Bob to be happy
00:55:40like he was before he went away.
00:55:42But he'll only be more miserable if he lets father go up.
00:55:45Yeah.
00:55:48I guess you're right.
00:55:52Thanks, Todd.
00:55:55You're sweet.
00:55:58I'm going to talk to Bob.
00:56:22Hello.
00:56:32Leaving?
00:56:35Yes, I'm checking out.
00:56:39How are you?
00:56:42I guess I feel about like you do.
00:56:45I'm fine.
00:56:48I'm glad you're here.
00:56:50I guess I feel about like you do.
00:56:52I feel all right.
00:56:54There's no use trying to pretend
00:56:56and there's no benefit of having lies between us.
00:56:59My father was convicted today
00:57:01and he's not going to appeal the case.
00:57:03I think he's happy about it.
00:57:05Happy because he knows you're responsible for it.
00:57:08What have I got to do with it?
00:57:10You got what you wanted.
00:57:12Your scheme was perfect.
00:57:14My scheme?
00:57:16Don't try to pretend.
00:57:19I've seen that robbery
00:57:21and how perfectly it worked.
00:57:23My father is going to the penitentiary
00:57:25for the same crime of which you were convicted.
00:57:32Well, it's done, isn't it?
00:57:35How do you expect to benefit for all those years to come?
00:57:37Knowing just what he's going through.
00:57:39What do you expect to gain?
00:57:41Satisfaction.
00:57:43He'll know what it is to have hands like that.
00:57:46Hands that are scarred and twisted.
00:57:48Every side of them will get just the same way.
00:57:50Just like that hand.
00:57:53And if you've come here to ask me to help him,
00:57:55you're wasting your breath.
00:57:57I don't quite know why I've come here.
00:58:00Father feels that at last his conscience will be clear
00:58:03and that he's paying the debt in the only way you want it paid.
00:58:09No, I haven't come here just to plead for him.
00:58:12I've come to plead for all of us.
00:58:15You especially.
00:58:18You can't change a thing.
00:58:21Bob, ever since I was a little girl, I've loved you.
00:58:25Loved you more than anything in life.
00:58:28More than anything, do you hear?
00:58:32All while you were in prison, I knew you were innocent.
00:58:35I cried and prayed every night for your freedom.
00:58:40I begged God to let me share part of your burden.
00:58:44Then when you were released, I thought my prayers had been answered.
00:58:48But you weren't free.
00:58:51Bob, if you go on like this,
00:58:55you'll always be imprisoned with bars of bitterness and hatred all around you.
00:59:01You'll never be free.
00:59:06Bob.
00:59:08Bob, please.
00:59:18I tried so hard.
00:59:48Yo, lad.
00:59:50Where you got the boys?
00:59:52Didn't you see those musicians out there?
00:59:57Come on.
01:00:02Card.
01:00:08Lefty.
01:00:11It was Lefty.
01:00:14And the boys?
01:00:16Lefty and the boss.
01:00:19The bonds.
01:00:22They're in my pocket.
01:00:24Get them quick.
01:00:28I thought you'd be needing them about now.
01:00:33Tell Lois you told me to get them.
01:00:36Will you?
01:00:39I think she'd like that better.
01:00:42Gee, pal.
01:00:46I'm doing you a dirty trick.
01:00:49I'm walking out on you.
01:01:02Card.
01:01:06Here they come.
01:01:08What's going on?
01:01:10What's going on?
01:01:16What's the matter with Tom?
01:01:18This poor fella?
01:01:20He's been murdered.
01:01:23Now, what dirty rat could have done that?
01:01:40Call the police, will you?
01:01:43John Barton.
01:01:45Have you any legal reason to present at this time
01:01:48why judgment should not be pronounced against you?
01:01:54Having been duly tried and convicted of the crime of embezzlement,
01:01:58the judgment of...
01:02:00Hey.
01:02:02Hey.
01:02:04Hey.
01:02:06Hey.
01:02:08That's all right.
01:02:13What is the meaning of this?
01:02:15Here are the bonds, and those are the men that took them.
01:02:18If the court please.
01:02:20I have new evidence in this case which I wish to present immediately.
01:02:23The court will defer sentence until tomorrow.
01:02:26In the meantime, it will consider the new evidence.
01:02:38I wanted to show you the view.
01:02:41It's lovely, isn't it?
01:02:44Lovely.
