00:01:10 [Music]
00:01:24 Well, here we are. I turned down here at the next block.
00:01:27 Thanks mister. I'll get off there.
00:01:30 [Music]
00:01:36 Want anything else?
00:01:38 No.
00:01:39 Hey you.
00:01:40 [Music]
00:01:43 Me?
00:01:44 Yeah, you.
00:01:45 Where you heading?
00:01:46 East.
00:01:48 You're bad.
00:01:50 I thought if you was heading north I might be able to help you out.
00:01:53 I'm pushing the Salt Lake and I don't like to ride it alone at night.
00:01:56 I'm one of those guys who's got to talk or I fall asleep.
00:01:59 Oh, sure you might.
00:02:00 Pardon me, he's got Lou to keep company, but I ain't got nobody at all.
00:02:04 Where you coming from?
00:02:06 West.
00:02:07 Yeah, sure I know, but where, L.A.?
00:02:10 Maybe.
00:02:11 I got a cousin out in L.A.
00:02:13 You don't say.
00:02:14 Yeah, he's been out.
00:02:16 You're not much of a talker, are you?
00:02:18 My mother taught me never to speak to strangers.
00:02:20 Oh, a wise guy.
00:02:21 So what?
00:02:22 Okay, okay, don't get sore.
00:02:24 He's trying to be sociable, that's all.
00:02:27 Hey, Glamorous.
00:02:29 Get changed for a dime, will you?
00:02:31 Let's have something quieter this time, Joe.
00:02:42 My head's splitting.
00:02:43 Is that what's wrong with it?
00:02:44 Done with your coffee?
00:02:48 No, and don't rush me, will you?
00:02:51 Hey, turn that off.
00:02:59 Will you turn that thing off?
00:03:01 What's eating you now?
00:03:02 Yeah, what's eating you?
00:03:03 That music, it stinks.
00:03:04 Oh, you don't like it, huh?
00:03:05 No, turn it off.
00:03:06 Now, wait a minute, pal.
00:03:07 That was my nickname, see?
00:03:08 This is a free country, and I play whatever I wanted.
00:03:11 Okay.
00:03:12 Sure, and if you don't like it, you don't have to listen to it.
00:03:16 And you can leave here any time you want to.
00:03:18 Okay, okay, I'm sorry I asked.
00:03:20 First good piece played tonight, and you don't like it.
00:03:22 Some people just ain't got any good taste.
00:03:36 That tune.
00:03:37 That tune!
00:03:39 Why was there always that rotten tune?
00:03:41 Following me around, beating in my head, never letting up.
00:03:48 Did you ever want to forget anything?
00:03:50 Did you ever want to cut away a piece of your memory or blot it out?
00:03:53 You can't, you know, no matter how hard you try.
00:03:57 You can change the scenery, but sooner or later you'll get a whiff of perfume
00:04:01 or somebody will say a certain phrase or maybe hum something.
00:04:04 Then you're licked again.
00:04:08 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:04:10 I used to love that song once.
00:04:12 So did the customers back in the old break at Dawn Club in New York.
00:04:16 I can't remember a night when I didn't get at least three requests for it.
00:04:20 Sue, she was always selling it too.
00:04:24 Those were the days.
00:04:26 [instrumental]
00:04:51 Your eyes are blue, your kiss is too.
00:04:54 I never knew what they could do.
00:04:57 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:03 You're telling everyone you know that I'm on your mind each place you go.
00:05:09 They can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:15 I have always placed you far above me.
00:05:21 I just can't imagine that you love me.
00:05:27 And after all is said and done, to think that I'm the lucky one.
00:05:33 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:05:39 [instrumental]
00:05:46 It wasn't much of a club really.
00:05:48 You know the kind.
00:05:50 A joint where you could have a sandwich and a few drinks
00:05:52 and run interference for your girl on the dance floor.
00:05:57 I planted the piano in there every night from eight until the place closed up.
00:06:01 Which usually meant four in the morning.
00:06:03 A good job as jobs went in those days.
00:06:06 [instrumental]
00:06:09 Then too, there was Sue who made working there a little like working in heaven.
00:06:15 But how we felt about each other, well there was nothing very unusual in that.
00:06:20 I was an ordinary healthy guy and she was an ordinary healthy girl.
00:06:23 And when you add those two together you get an ordinary healthy romance.
00:06:26 Which is the old story.
00:06:28 Sure, but somehow the most wonderful thing in the world.
00:06:33 [instrumental]
00:06:40 All in all, I was a pretty lucky guy.
00:06:43 [instrumental]
00:06:55 Mr. Paderewski I presume.
00:06:57 It's beautiful.
00:06:58 You going to make Carnegie Hall yet Al?
00:07:00 Yeah, as a janitor.
00:07:03 I'll make my debut in the basement.
00:07:05 I don't blame you for being bitter darling, but you mustn't give up hope.
00:07:09 Why someday...
00:07:10 Yeah, someday.
00:07:11 If I don't get arthritis first.
00:07:13 In the meantime, let's blow this trap.
00:07:15 [instrumental]
00:07:34 Like to get something to eat hon?
00:07:35 Oh, I don't think so Al.
00:07:37 I lose my appetite working in this flea bag.
00:07:40 Let's go home.
00:07:41 Okay.
00:07:43 I can't stand much more of that dump.
00:07:46 Did you see that drunk tonight trying to paw me?
00:07:48 No, what drunk?
00:07:50 Does it matter what drunk?
00:07:53 Say, what's the matter with you tonight darling?
00:07:55 That's the third time you started to tell me something and then stop.
00:07:58 We shouldn't have any secrets from each other Sue.
00:08:01 Next week we're going to make with a ring and a license.
00:08:03 You and me will be a team.
00:08:04 Yes, that's right.
00:08:05 In the Bush League.
00:08:07 I don't get you.
00:08:08 We've been struck out.
00:08:11 I've got a way to talk darling.
00:08:13 Don't you want to marry me?
00:08:14 Al, look, I love you.
00:08:15 You know I do and I want to marry you.
00:08:18 But?
00:08:19 But not now.
00:08:20 Only after we've made good.
00:08:23 Sunday I'm going away.
00:08:25 I know you'll think it's silly.
00:08:27 That's why I hesitated to tell you.
00:08:29 But I'm going to California.
00:08:31 I want to try my luck in Hollywood.
00:08:34 That's the most stupid thing I ever heard of.
00:08:36 Don't you know millions of people go out there every year and wind up polishing cuspidors?
00:08:40 I thought you had a better sense.
00:08:41 You sound as if you don't think I have any talent.
00:08:43 That has nothing to do with it.
00:08:44 I'll make out all right.
00:08:45 Maybe.
00:08:46 But what about me?
00:08:47 Doesn't it mean anything to you that you're busting up all our plans?
00:08:50 We may not see each other for years.
00:08:51 It won't be that long.
00:08:53 I thought you loved me.
00:08:54 I do.
00:08:55 You know I do.
00:08:59 Well, here we are.
00:09:04 Al.
00:09:06 Al, why can't you see my side of it?
00:09:09 I'm young.
00:09:10 We both are.
00:09:12 And we've got all the time in the world to settle down.
00:09:16 Really, darling.
00:09:17 What I'm doing is the only sane thing to do.
00:09:21 I hate the thought of being so far away from you.
00:09:25 But we'll be together again someday.
00:09:29 Maybe you'll decide to come out too later on.
00:09:31 So long.
00:09:33 Al.
00:09:35 Aren't you going to kiss me goodnight?
00:09:37 Sure.
00:09:39 Why not?
00:09:42 Goodnight.
00:09:43 [music]
00:09:50 [music]
00:09:55 [music]
00:10:00 [music]
00:10:05 [music]
00:10:10 [music]
00:10:15 [music]
00:10:20 [music]
00:10:25 [music]
00:10:30 [music]

00:11:00 [music]
00:11:05 [music]
00:11:10 [music]
00:11:15 [music]
00:11:20 [music]
00:11:25 [applause]
00:11:27 Say, Roberts, you hit the jackpot this time.
00:11:30 Ten bucks.
00:11:32 [applause]
00:11:35 [music]
00:11:39 So when this drunk handed me a tent spot after a request,
00:11:41 I couldn't get very excited.
00:11:43 What was it, I asked myself?
00:11:44 A piece of paper crawling with germs.
00:11:46 Couldn't buy anything I wanted.
00:11:49 It couldn't...
00:11:53 Then I thought of something.
00:11:55 [music]
00:12:18 Long distance.
00:12:19 I'd like to put a call through to Los Angeles.
00:12:22 Miss Harvey. Sue Harvey. H-A-R-V-E-Y.
00:12:26 The number is Crestview 65723.
00:12:29 [music]
00:12:51 75...
00:12:53 65...
00:12:57 Hello, Sue?
00:12:58 This is Al.
00:13:00 Oh, baby, it's great to hear from you, too.
00:13:02 What's that? You do?
00:13:04 Oh, me too, darling.
00:13:05 I thought I'd go batty without you.
00:13:07 I just had to...
00:13:08 Huh?
00:13:10 You're working as a hashlinger?
00:13:12 Gee, honey, that's tough.
00:13:14 Those guys out in Hollywood don't know the real thing
00:13:15 when it's right in front of them.
00:13:17 You just stick it out, Sue, baby.
00:13:19 Keep going around to those casting offices.
00:13:21 I'm sure you'll click.
00:13:23 Look, I'll tell you what.
00:13:24 You stay put out there. I'll come to you.
00:13:26 No, don't try to stop me.
00:13:27 Just expect me.
00:13:28 Train?
00:13:29 Who knows?
00:13:30 Train, plane, bus, magic carpet.
00:13:32 I'll be there if I have to crawl.
00:13:33 If I have to travel by pogo stick.
00:13:35 And then...
00:13:37 Let's get married right away, huh?
00:13:41 That's the stuff.
00:13:42 That's what I've been wanting to hear you say.
00:13:45 Well, goodbye for now.
00:13:49 I'll be seeing you soon.
00:13:52 Yeah.
00:13:54 Bye.
00:13:56 The only way I could cross country was to thumb rides.
00:14:03 For even after hocking everything,
00:14:04 I only had enough money to eat.
00:14:07 Money.
00:14:08 You know what that is.
00:14:10 It's the stuff you never have enough of.
00:14:12 Little green things with George Washington's picture
00:14:14 that men slave for, commit crimes for, die for.
00:14:19 It's the stuff that has caused more trouble in the world
00:14:21 than anything else we ever invented.
00:14:23 Simply because there's too little of it.
00:14:26 At least I had too little of it.
00:14:28 So it was me for the thumb.
00:14:33 [music]
00:14:37 Ever done any hitchhiking?
00:14:49 It's not much fun, believe me.
00:14:52 Oh yeah, I know all about how it's an education
00:14:54 and how you get to meet a lot of people and all that.
00:14:57 But me?
00:14:58 From now on, I'll take my education in college
00:15:01 and I'll get a job in PS62,
00:15:03 or I'll send $1.98 in stamps for 10 easy lessons.
00:15:07 Thumbing rides may save you a bus fare,
00:15:18 but it's dangerous.
00:15:20 You never know what's in store for you
00:15:22 when you hear the squeal of brakes.
00:15:25 If only I had known what I was getting into
00:15:27 that day in Arizona.
00:15:30 Here, throw that in the back seat.
00:15:34 Okay, let's go.
00:15:35 Make sure that door is closed.
00:15:38 You know, Emily Post taught her how to write a book of rules
00:15:53 for guys thumbing rides.
00:15:55 Because as it is now,
00:15:56 you never know what's right and what's wrong.
00:15:59 We rode along for a little while,
00:16:00 neither one of us saying anything.
00:16:03 I was glad of that.
00:16:05 I never know what to say to strange people driving cars.
00:16:08 And two, you can never tell if a guy wants to talk.
00:16:12 A lot of rides have been cut short because of a big mouth.
00:16:16 So I kept my mouth shut until he started opening up.
00:16:21 Hand me that little box in the compartment, will you, pal?
00:16:27 You can sit with her.
00:16:29 How far are you going?
00:16:40 L.A.
00:16:41 Wow, you're really traveling, aren't you?
00:16:43 Yeah, but I don't expect to make it for a couple of years
00:16:45 at the rate I've been promoting rides.
00:16:47 Not much luck, huh?
00:16:48 Sure, all bad.
00:16:50 Not many people stop for a guy these days.
00:16:52 Afraid of a stick-up, maybe.
00:16:54 Well, they can't blame him.
00:16:56 Where are you coming from?
00:16:57 New York.
00:16:58 Well, New York.
00:17:00 You're in luck this time.
00:17:02 I'm going all the way, right through to Los Angeles.
00:17:06 Can you drive a car?
00:17:08 Sure.
00:17:09 Whenever you're tired, let me know.
00:17:11 I'll holler.
00:17:13 I guess at least an hour passed before I noticed
00:17:15 those deep scratches on his right hand.
00:17:18 They were wicked.
00:17:19 Three puffy red lines about a quarter of an inch apart.
00:17:23 He must have seen me looking at them because he said--
00:17:27 Beauties, aren't they?
00:17:29 They're going to be scars someday.
00:17:32 What an animal.
00:17:34 Whatever it was, it must have been pretty big and vicious
00:17:36 to have done that.
00:17:37 Right on both counts, New York.
00:17:39 I was tussling with the most dangerous animal in the world,
00:17:42 a woman.
00:17:44 She must have been Tarzan's mate.
00:17:46 Looks like you lost the bob.
00:17:48 It certainly wasn't a draw.
00:17:50 You know, there ought to be a law against dames with claws.
00:17:53 Yeah.
00:17:54 I tossed her out of the car in her ear.
00:17:57 Was I wrong?
00:17:58 Give a lift to a tomato, you expect her to be nice, don't you?
00:18:01 Yeah.
00:18:02 After all, what kind of a dame some rides?
00:18:05 Sunday school teachers?
00:18:06 Yeah.
00:18:08 A little witch.
00:18:10 She must have thought she was riding with some fall guy.
00:18:13 To me, it was been poking horses around race tracks
00:18:16 since I was 20.
00:18:18 I've known a million dames like her.
00:18:20 Two million.
00:18:21 Yeah.
00:18:24 Stop the car, open the door.
00:18:27 Take it on the Arthur Duffy sister, I told her.
00:18:29 That's the stuff.
00:18:30 As I was done, huh?
00:18:33 But if you want to see a real scar, brother,
00:18:35 get a load of this.
00:18:38 Wow.
00:18:40 I got that one dueling.
00:18:41 Dueling?
00:18:43 Yeah, we were just kidding, of course.
00:18:45 My dad owned a couple of Franco Prussian sabers.
00:18:47 Kept them on the wall for decorations.
00:18:50 Well, one day, another kid and I took them down.
00:18:52 The old man wasn't around, had a duel.
00:18:56 He got me in the arm here.
00:18:58 Pretty mean cut.
00:19:00 Infection set in later.
00:19:02 Yeah, I can see that.
00:19:04 Now give me that box again, will you?
00:19:05 Yeah.
00:19:07 [knocking]
00:19:09 Pain made me lose my head, I guess.
00:19:21 I began slashing.
00:19:23 Before I knew it, I'd put the other kid's eye out.
00:19:26 That was tough.
00:19:27 Well, it was just an accident, of course.
00:19:29 Do you know how kids are?
00:19:31 I got scared, decided I was going to run away from home.
00:19:34 The old man almost caught me when I was packing my duds.
00:19:38 The bloody rag I had wrapped around my wrist
00:19:40 hadn't caught his attention.
00:19:41 He'd have seen the bundle for sure.
00:19:44 But I beat it when he was phoning for a doctor.
00:19:47 That was 15, 16 years ago.
00:19:50 I haven't been home since.
00:19:51 Pull in there for a bite or something, huh?
00:19:58 A bite or something?
00:19:59 Brother, was I hungry.
00:20:01 I hadn't had anything in my stomach for hours.
00:20:04 Yet even with that gnawing in the pit of my belly,
00:20:06 I didn't want to be in too big a rush to put on the feed bag.
00:20:10 First, I had to make sure this guy knew the score.
00:20:12 If I got him down on me, he'd buy a ticket to Hollywood.
00:20:16 I'll wait out here for you, mister.
00:20:18 If it's the money, don't worry about paying for it.
00:20:20 This time it's on me.
00:20:21 Well, that's why--
00:20:22 Haskell, take nothing of it.
00:20:23 You make your first million, maybe you can do the same for me.
00:20:25 Come on, New York.
00:20:27 I got to make the West Coast by Wednesday.
00:20:28 There's a horse running at Santa Anita named Pirate Bicycle.
00:20:31 You can sell it to me if I'm on him.
00:20:33 We'll make it all right.
00:20:35 He did most of the talking during the half hour we were in the place.
00:20:39 I ate.
00:20:41 He rambled on about his old man, whom he hadn't heard from since he ran away as a kid.
00:20:45 Now he happened to become a bookie.
00:20:47 And then all about how he got rooked in Miami.
00:20:50 One race, 38 grand.
00:20:51 They cleaned out my book.
00:20:53 How do you like that?
00:20:54 That was tough luck.
00:20:55 Yeah, and I'm supposed to be the smart guy.
00:20:57 Well, you just wait.
00:20:58 I'm going back to Florida next season with all kinds of jack.
00:21:00 And you watch those stinkers run for cover.
00:21:03 Want anything else?
00:21:04 No, thanks.
00:21:05 I've had plenty.
00:21:11 That check there, sister?
00:21:16 Oh, just a miniature change, sir.
00:21:18 Keep it, sister.
00:21:19 Oh, thank you.
00:21:20 Say call again.
00:21:21 I'll be waiting outside for you when you finish work.
00:21:24 Sharp check, huh?
00:21:34 I drove all that night while Haskell slept like a log.
00:21:37 After a while, I began to get sleepy myself.
00:21:41 I was happy, though.
00:21:43 Soon I'd be with Sue again.
00:21:45 The long trip was practically over, and I'd be no more hoofing it down the concrete.
00:21:50 I began to think of the future, which couldn't have been brighter if I'd embroidered it with neon lights.
00:21:57 It was nice to think of Sue shooting to the top.
00:22:01 It's amazing what a full belly can do to your imagination.
00:22:07 Your eyes, oh, your kisses, too.
00:22:12 I never knew what they could do.
00:22:16 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:22:24 You're telling everyone you know.
00:22:29 I'm on your mind each place you go.
00:22:34 I can't believe that you're in love with me.
00:22:56 Mr. Haskell.
00:22:58 Mr. Haskell.
00:23:03 Mr. Haskell, wake up. It's raining.
00:23:05 Don't you think we ought to stop and put up the top?
00:23:16 Mr. Haskell, I'm going to put up the top.
00:23:32 Up until then, I'd done things my way.
00:23:34 But from then on, something else stepped in and shunted me off to a different destination than one I had picked for myself.
00:23:40 But when I pulled open that door...
00:23:46 Mr. Haskell, what's the matter?
00:23:48 Are you hurt?
00:23:50 Are you hurt, Mr. Haskell?
00:23:52 Start yourself.
00:23:54 I'll listen to it.
00:23:56 But I know what you're going to hand me even before you open your mouths.
00:23:59 You're going to tell me you don't believe my story of how Haskell died and give me that "don't make me laugh" expression on your smug faces.
00:24:08 I saw it once. He was dead.
00:24:10 And I was in for it.
00:24:12 Who would believe he fell out of the car?
00:24:14 Why, if Haskell came too, which of course he couldn't, even he would swear I conked him over the head for his dough.
00:24:18 Yes, I was in for it.
00:24:20 Instinct told me to run.
00:24:22 But then I realized it was hopeless.
00:24:24 There were lots of people back down the road who could identify me.
00:24:26 That gas station guy and the waitress.
00:24:28 I would be in a worse spot then trying to explain why I beat it.
00:24:31 The next possibility was to sit tight and tell the truth when the cops came.
00:24:34 But that would be crazy.
00:24:36 They'd laugh at the truth.
00:24:38 And I'd have my head in the noose.
00:24:40 So what else was there to do but hide the body and get away in the car?
00:24:44 I couldn't leave the car there with him in the gully.
00:24:46 That would be like erecting a tombstone.
00:24:49 [Music]
00:25:17 My idea was to cover him with brush, not to rob him.
00:25:20 But then I remembered that even if I only drove the car for a hundred miles or so, I would need money for gas.
00:25:25 Besides, it was stupid of me to leave all that money on a dead man.
00:25:29 Not only that, I'd have to take his driver's license in case I was stopped for something.
00:25:35 I didn't like to think about it.
00:25:37 But by that time I'd done just what the police would say I did, even if I didn't.
00:25:41 My clothes.
00:25:43 The owner of such an expensive car would never be wearing them.
00:25:46 Some cop might pull me in on suspicion.
00:25:48 [Music]
00:26:13 Hey you, this your car?
00:26:15 Don't you know better than to leave a car with wheels halfway in the middle of the road?
00:26:18 That's the way accidents happen.
00:26:20 I'm sorry, officer. I was just putting up my top. I didn't think.
00:26:24 Well, the next time, think.
00:26:26 I'll let you go now, but watch your step in the future.
00:26:28 I know that's a lonely stretch, but cars come by here once in a while and we have plenty of crack-ups.
00:26:33 Thanks, officer.
00:26:35 [Music]
00:26:57 I left nothing in the car to give me away as Roberts.
00:27:00 If they found a dead man on the gully now, it would be me.
00:27:03 [Music]
00:27:11 As I drove off, it was still raining.
00:27:14 And the drops streaked down the windshield like tears.
00:27:17 [Music]
00:27:20 I kept imagining I was being followed and that I could hear sirens back in the distance.
00:27:25 Just how long it took me to cover the 60-odd miles to the California state line, I don't know.
00:27:30 I lost all track of time.
00:27:32 But the rain had stopped and the sun was up when I pulled up to the inspection station.
00:27:36 [Music]
00:27:41 Hello.
00:27:42 Carrying any fruits or vegetables?
00:27:44 No.
00:27:45 Any livestock or poultry?
00:27:46 No.
00:27:47 I'd like to see your registration and driver's license, please.
00:27:51 [Music]
00:27:56 Anything in the baggage compartment?
00:27:57 Just baggage.
00:27:59 Charles Haskell, Jr. Age 30, brown eyes, dark hair.
00:28:03 Identifying marks, none.
00:28:05 Are you Charles Haskell, Jr.?
00:28:07 Yes.
00:28:08 Well, remember, if you're employed and you stay over 30 days, you take out California plates.
00:28:12 All right, officer, but I'll only be in the state a short while.
00:28:15 Right, you can go now.
00:28:17 [Music]
00:28:25 I couldn't drive any farther without some sleep.
00:28:27 Cops or no cops, I knew I had to hit the hay and hit it hard.
00:28:33 I was dead tired.
00:28:36 [Music]
00:28:45 [Music]
00:29:05 No.
00:29:07 No, you can't, Mr. Haskell.
00:29:09 No.
00:29:10 [Music]
00:29:18 Mr. Haskell, you can't die.
00:29:21 Don't think.
00:29:23 Don't think I did it.
00:29:25 No, Mr. Haskell.
00:29:27 No.
00:29:29 No.
00:29:30 [Music]
00:29:45 Who's there?
00:29:46 It's the maid.
00:29:47 Can I come in and clean?
00:29:49 Later.
00:29:51 In a half hour.
00:29:52 All right, sir.
00:29:53 [Music]
00:30:17 There was no time to lose.
00:30:19 Every minute I had to be Charles Haskell was dangerous.
00:30:21 And I'd have to be Charles Haskell until I got to some city where I could leave the car and be swallowed up.
00:30:25 [Music]
00:30:31 That meant driving the car as far as San Bernardino.
00:30:34 Maybe even to Los Angeles.
00:30:35 In a little town I might be noticed.
00:30:37 But in a city I should be safe enough.
00:30:39 Then, after I ditched the car, I could go on to sue.
00:30:44 But those five minutes at the state line made me realize it might be a good idea to find out a little bit about Mr. Haskell.
00:30:50 Then, if anybody asked me questions, I could give the right answers.
00:30:54 The first thing I found out was that I had $768.
00:30:58 This was a lot of jack.
00:31:00 But believe me, it was the kind of money I'd rather not have.
00:31:04 [Music]
00:31:11 And then I found out from a letter Haskell was carting around in his bag...
00:31:15 ...that he wasn't the open-handed, easy-going big shot who went around buying dinners for strange hitchhikers.
00:31:21 Before I got done reading it, I saw him more as a chiseler.
00:31:25 It was written to his old man in California.
00:31:28 The one he hadn't seen in so many years.
00:31:30 In it, Haskell posed as a salesman of hymnals, of all things.
00:31:36 It was easy to see where Haskell expected to raise a new stake for his book in Miami.
00:31:41 By rooking his old man.
00:31:44 That was about all I found out from his effects.
00:31:47 And it was enough.
00:31:49 I told myself, maybe old man Haskell was lucky his son kicked off.
00:31:54 He would never know it.
00:31:56 But it saved him from taking a flyer in sacred literature preferred.
00:32:00 [Music]
00:32:25 Near the airport at Desert Center, I pulled up for water.
00:32:30 There was a woman.
00:32:32 [Music]
00:32:36 Hey you! Come on if you want a ride.
00:32:39 [Music]
00:33:08 [Music]
00:33:25 How far you going?
00:33:27 How far you going?
00:33:29 That took me by surprise.
00:33:31 I turned my head to look her over.
00:33:33 She was facing straight ahead so I couldn't see her eyes.
00:33:36 But she was young. Not more than 24.
00:33:40 Man, she looked as if she'd just been thrown off the crummiest freight train in the world.
00:33:45 Yet in spite of this, I got the impression of beauty.
00:33:49 Not the beauty of a movie actress, mind you.
00:33:51 Or the beauty you dream about when you're with your wife.
00:33:54 But a natural beauty.
00:33:56 A beauty that's almost homely because it's so real.
00:34:00 Then suddenly she turned to face me.
00:34:02 How far did you say you were going?
00:34:04 Los Angeles.
00:34:05 L.A.?
00:34:07 L.A.'s good enough for me, mister.
00:34:09 That's what I was afraid of.
00:34:11 What'd you say?
00:34:12 Oh nothing, just thinking out loud.
00:34:14 People get in trouble for doing that.
00:34:17 What's your name?
00:34:18 You can call me Vera if you like.
00:34:20 You live in Los Angeles?
00:34:22 No.
00:34:24 Where you coming from?
00:34:25 Oh, back there.
00:34:27 Needles?
00:34:28 No.
00:34:29 Oh sure, Phoenix.
00:34:31 You look just like a Phoenix girl.
00:34:33 Are the girls in Phoenix that bad?
00:34:35 The girl must have been pretty tired.
00:34:37 Because she fell asleep not 20 minutes after she stepped into the car.
00:34:41 She lay sprawled out with her head resting against the far door.
00:34:44 Like Haskell.
00:34:46 I didn't like that part of it much.
00:34:48 But I didn't wake her up.
00:34:50 It wasn't that this girl still worried me.
00:34:53 I'd gotten over that funny feeling I had when she looked at me.
00:34:56 Which I put down as just my jangled nerves.
00:34:59 With her eyes closed and the tenseness gone out of me.
00:35:02 She seemed harmless enough.
00:35:04 And instead of disliking her, I began to feel sorry for her.
00:35:08 The poor kid probably had had a rough time of it.
00:35:12 Who was she anyway?
00:35:14 And why was she going to Los Angeles?
00:35:16 And where'd she come from in the first place?
00:35:18 The only thing I knew about her was her name.
00:35:21 Not that it made any difference.
00:35:23 A few hours more and we'd be in Hollywood.
00:35:25 I'd forget where I parked the car and look up Sue.
00:35:28 This nightmare of being a dead man would be over.
00:35:31 Who this dame was, well, it was no business of mine.
00:35:34 Where did you leave his body?
00:35:36 Where did you leave the owner of this car?
00:35:38 You're not fooling anyone.
00:35:40 This buggy belongs to a guy named Haskell.
00:35:42 That's not you, mister.
00:35:43 You're out of your mind. That's my name, Charles Haskell.
00:35:45 I can prove it. It's my driver's license.
00:35:47 Save yourself the trouble, mister.
00:35:49 Having Haskell's wallet only makes it worse.
00:35:51 It just so happens I rode with Charlie Haskell.
00:35:53 All the way from Louisiana.
00:35:55 He picked me up outside of Shreveport.
00:35:57 - You rode... - You heard me.
00:35:59 Then it all came back to me.
00:36:01 All the talk about dueling and scars and scratches.
00:36:04 There was no doubt about it.
00:36:06 Vera must be the woman Haskell had mentioned.
00:36:09 She must have passed me while I slept.
00:36:11 Well?
00:36:13 Well, I'm waiting.
00:36:14 My goose was cooked.
00:36:16 She had me.
00:36:18 That Haskell guy wasn't dead yet.
00:36:20 He wasn't stretched out stiff and cold in any Arizona gully.
00:36:23 He was sitting right there in the car laughing like mad while he haunted me.
00:36:28 Well?
00:36:29 There was nothing I could say.
00:36:31 It was her move.
00:36:33 Vera, whatever her name was,
00:36:35 it was just my luck picking her up on the road.
00:36:38 It couldn't have been Helen or Mary or Evelyn or Ruth.
00:36:42 It had to be the very last person I should ever have met.
00:36:45 That's life.
00:36:47 Whichever way you turn, fate sticks out a foot to trip you.
00:36:56 I told her everything, but she didn't believe my story.
00:36:59 I should have saved my breath.
00:37:01 That's the greatest cock and bull story I ever heard.
00:37:03 So he fell out of his car.
00:37:05 Say, who do you think you're talking to, a hick?
00:37:07 Listen, mister, I've been around,
00:37:09 and I know a wrong guy when I see one.
00:37:11 What'd you do, kiss him with a wrench?
00:37:13 Now, wait a minute. What I told you was true.
00:37:15 You see, that's why I had to do it.
00:37:16 You think I killed him.
00:37:17 Well, the cops would have thought so, too.
00:37:19 Yeah, well, maybe they still think so.
00:37:21 What makes you so sure I'll shut up about this?
00:37:24 Vera, I'm innocent.
00:37:25 Give me a break, will you?
00:37:27 It won't do me any good having you pinched.
00:37:30 The cops are no friends of mine.
00:37:32 Now, if there was a reward, but there isn't.
00:37:35 Thanks.
00:37:36 Don't thank me yet.
00:37:37 I'm not through with you by a long shot.
00:37:40 Let's see that roll.
00:37:42 Is that all Haskell had?
00:37:49 Isn't it enough?
00:37:50 No, I thought he had more.
00:37:51 Not that I know of.
00:37:52 You can search me if you think I'm holding out on you.
00:37:54 I'm not going to let you do that.
00:37:55 I'm not going to let you do that.
00:37:56 I'm not going to let you do that.

01:02:00 I'm not going to let you do that.
01:02:01 I'm not going to let you do that.
01:02:02 I'm not going to let you do that.
01:02:26 I'm not going to let you do that.
01:02:52 I'm not going to let you do that.
01:03:11 The world is full of skeptics.
01:03:12 I know.
01:03:13 I'm one myself.
01:03:14 In the Haskell business, how many of you would believe he fell out of the car?
01:03:15 And now, after killing Vera without really meaning to do it,
01:03:16 In the Haskell business, how many of you would believe he fell out of the car?
01:03:20 And now, after killing Vera without really meaning to do it,
01:03:22 how many of you would believe it wasn't premeditated?
01:03:26 In a jury room, every last man of you would go down shouting that she had me over a barrel,
01:03:30 and my only out was force.
01:03:34 The room was still, so quiet that for a while I wondered if I had suddenly gone deaf.
01:03:40 It was pure fear, of course, and I was hysterical.
01:03:44 But without making a sound.
01:03:47 Vera was dead, and I was her murderer.
01:03:51 Murderer.
01:03:52 What an awful word that is.
01:03:54 But I'd become one.
01:03:56 I'd better not get caught.
01:03:58 What evidence there was around the place had to be destroyed.
01:04:00 And from the looks of things, there was plenty.
01:04:02 Looking around the room at things we'd bought was like looking into the faces of a hundred people
01:04:06 who'd seen us together and who remembered me.
01:04:08 This was the kind of testimony I couldn't rub out.
01:04:12 No.
01:04:14 I could burn clothes and hide bottles for the next five years.
01:04:17 There'd always be witnesses.
01:04:19 The landlady, for one.
01:04:20 She could identify me.
01:04:21 The car dealer, the waitress in the drive-in, the girl in the dress shop,
01:04:23 and that guy in the liquor store.
01:04:25 It could all identify me.
01:04:28 I was cooked.
01:04:29 Done for.
01:04:30 I had to get out of there.
01:04:33 While once I'd remained beside a dead body,
01:04:35 planning carefully how to avoid being accused of killing him,
01:04:38 this time I couldn't.
01:04:40 This time I was guilty.
01:04:43 I knew it.
01:04:45 Felt it.
01:04:47 I was like a guy suffering from shock.
01:04:49 Things were whirling around in my head.
01:04:51 I couldn't make myself think right.
01:04:54 All I could think of was the guy with the saxophone and what he was playing.
01:04:58 It wasn't a love song anymore.
01:05:01 It was a dirge.

01:05:32 But my problems weren't solved.
01:05:53 I had to stay away from New York for all time
01:05:56 because Al Roberts was listed as dead and had to stay dead.
01:06:00 And I could never go back to Hollywood.
01:06:03 Someone might recognize me as Haskell.
01:06:06 Then, too, there was Sue.
01:06:10 I could never go to her with a thing like this hanging over my head.
01:06:15 All I could do was pray she'd be happy.
01:06:19 [music]
01:06:22 I was in Bakersfield before I read that Vera's body was discovered,
01:06:33 that the police were looking for Haskell in connection with his wife's murder.
01:06:38 Isn't that a laugh?
01:06:41 Haskell got me into this mess, and Haskell was getting me out of it.
01:06:45 The police were searching for a dead man.
01:06:48 [music]
01:06:51 I keep trying to forget what happened
01:06:54 and wonder what my life might have been if that car of Haskell's hadn't stopped.
01:07:00 But one thing I don't have to wonder about, I know.
01:07:05 [music]
01:07:07 Someday a car will stop to pick me up that I never thumbed.
01:07:11 [music]
01:07:14 Yes, fate or some mysterious force
01:07:20 can put the finger on you or me for no good reason at all.
