00:06:40You get $21 a week. Ask for Mr. Logan. He expects you.
00:06:44That landlady...
00:06:45Miss Terrence?
00:06:46Yes. Does she know about me?
00:06:48Don't worry. She won't spy on you.
00:06:50Uh, you got money for lunch and dinner?
00:06:52Yes, sir.
00:06:53Okay, I'll drop by the office and see how you're getting on.
00:07:00Well, lots of luck, Jenny.
00:07:03Take it easy.
00:07:11Just a moment.
00:07:13You can't see Jenny Marsh.
00:07:15I don't think I know you.
00:07:17I'm Jenny Marsh's parole officer.
00:07:19If she sees you, she breaks parole.
00:07:21I see. So that's the way it is.
00:07:23That's the way it is. Now, get going.
00:07:25Harry.
00:07:26Jenny.
00:07:27How did you learn this address?
00:07:28What right have you to question me?
00:07:29I meant what I said about not seeing him.
00:07:31It's a violation of your parole.
00:07:32Now, run along, Wesson, and stay away.
00:07:34You can't tell me what to do.
00:07:35I can do what I like and go where I like
00:07:37and see any woman I have.
00:07:39And see any woman I happen to like?
00:07:40You have no authority over me.
00:07:43I have authority over you.
00:07:45Tell him to go.
00:07:48Please, Harry.
00:07:49Go.
00:07:51All right, Jenny.
00:07:52All right, Jenny.
00:08:08How did he know where to find you?
00:08:10I don't know.
00:08:11Well, what am I supposed to do, hide?
00:08:13You better watch your step, Miss Marsh.
00:08:15All right.
00:08:18I'll stay away from him, but you've got to help me.
00:08:21Can you get me a room in a job where he can't find me?
00:08:24Maybe.
00:08:25Report in the morning.
00:08:38Couldn't Monty have met us somewhere else?
00:08:40But he never leaves here.
00:08:41He lives here, eats here, sleeps here, works here.
00:08:44But, Harry, I'm not supposed to go into a place like this.
00:08:47I wish he could have met us outside.
00:08:49It won't take long.
00:08:51Hey, don't get scared.
00:08:52You've got me involved.
00:08:55Three minutes before close time on Belvedere.
00:08:58Get your pets down.
00:08:59Don't get shut out on the best of Belvedere.
00:09:02Well, Jenny Marsh.
00:09:04Hello, Monty.
00:09:05Say, you're looking good, kid, in spite of everything.
00:09:08Thanks, Monty.
00:09:09I feel fine.
00:09:10What's this emergency call about?
00:09:12You know Jenny's on parole.
00:09:13Yeah, I know.
00:09:14For how long, Jenny?
00:09:16The book, Life Parole.
00:09:18She wants to be transferred to San Francisco.
00:09:20Shadow too close here?
00:09:21That's putting it mildly.
00:09:22Who?
00:09:23Griff Marat.
00:09:25He was my parole officer for two years.
00:09:27Tough boy, but smart.
00:09:29Say he's going to run for the state legislature.
00:09:31What?
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33They're talking about running him for assemblyman in the 84th district.
00:09:36They can run him for president, as far as I'm concerned.
00:09:38Look, what are the possibilities of a transfer for Jenny?
00:09:42Tough.
00:09:44Nothing is too difficult for you, Monty.
00:09:46Unless the price isn't right.
00:09:48Well, sit down.
00:09:58If the parole board in San Francisco lends her a job and a room,
00:10:01Los Angeles gives her the green light.
00:10:03Sounds simple.
00:10:05It isn't.
00:10:06First, I got to plant a family up there.
00:10:08They asked for her to be transferred.
00:10:11Five thousand for the whole show.
00:10:14Okay.
00:10:15When?
00:10:16As of now, you have cousins in San Francisco.
00:10:19First cousins.
00:10:20Called, uh...
00:10:22Harris.
00:10:25Yeah?
00:10:26Can you come in for a minute, Griff?
00:10:27Be right in.
00:10:38Griff, uh...
00:10:39How's Jenny Marsh coming along?
00:10:41Jenny Marsh? Okay.
00:10:42What's she doing?
00:10:43Oh, she's going after a job on her own.
00:10:45Bookkeeping job.
00:10:46Phoned me about it a few hours ago.
00:10:47That girl's going places.
00:10:49She sure is.
00:10:51Right back to prison.
00:10:53Today.
00:10:54What do you mean?
00:10:55What happened?
00:10:56She was picked up on a bookie raid.
00:10:58Bookkeeping job.
00:11:00Joe Wilson was picked up, too.
00:11:02Joe Wilson?
00:11:03Another one of your pupils.
00:11:05Where are they now?
00:11:06Next door.
00:11:08Mr. Wright, don't let them send me back.
00:11:10You're out of luck, Joe.
00:11:11You mean 20 years? I can't take it.
00:11:13Give me another chance, please.
00:11:15I promise this time.
00:11:16You've hurled twice.
00:11:17This is your third violation.
00:11:19Well, I'm through covering up for you.
00:11:23Take him to headquarters.
00:11:2520 years.
00:11:2720 years.
00:11:28Come on, go on.
00:11:38Come on.
00:11:40No!
00:12:06Joe Wilson's stuff.
00:12:07Mm-hmm.
00:12:08They've taken him to the hospital.
00:12:09But he won't live.
00:12:11All right.
00:12:13Uh, what did the girl have to say?
00:12:15I don't know. I haven't talked to her yet.
00:12:17She's still in there.
00:12:18Sprained her ankle.
00:12:19Excuse me.
00:12:32What have you got to say for yourself?
00:12:33Look, I feel it's all my fault.
00:12:34That's why I came along.
00:12:35You're a fool, Wesson.
00:12:36You know those places are rated for parole violators.
00:12:38Why'd you take her there?
00:12:40Did you get hurt?
00:12:41I sprained my ankle.
00:12:42Officer.
00:12:43Yes, sir.
00:12:44Take her down to Dr. Daniels.
00:12:45You wait here.
00:12:46Dr. Daniels?
00:12:47You heard me.
00:12:49This way, miss.
00:13:00Hello.
00:13:01Give me Dr. Daniels, please.
00:13:06Hello, Doc.
00:13:07This is Griff Merritt.
00:13:09I'm sending a girl named Jenny Marsh down to your office.
00:13:13Yeah, she's got a sprained ankle.
00:13:15See what you can find out, will you?
00:13:17How old is she, Griff?
00:13:20What does she look like?
00:13:23Blonde.
00:13:26Delicate features.
00:13:29Brown eyes.
00:13:32I see.
00:13:33Well, she just saw a man jump off the balcony.
00:13:36Pretty shaky and upset.
00:13:38Ought to be easy to work on.
00:13:40Okay.
00:13:56Okay for sound?
00:13:58Echo.
00:13:59Okay for sound?
00:14:00Yeah, okay here.
00:14:01Play it cagey, Doc.
00:14:02This one's smart.
00:14:03What are you trying to prove?
00:14:04I'm not sure yet.
00:14:05Maybe that the girl has character.
00:14:06They all have when they're caught.
00:14:07Never should have been paroled.
00:14:09Over here.
00:14:10Can you make it?
00:14:11I think so.
00:14:13Take it easy.
00:14:14It's her ankle, Doc.
00:14:17I'll be right outside.
00:14:19Take off your stocking.
00:14:23Oh, so...
00:14:29I feel sick.
00:14:30Really hurt that bad?
00:14:35I just saw a man jump off the balcony.
00:14:38What did he do that for?
00:14:40They were sending him back.
00:14:42For good.
00:14:45I guess if I had the nerve, I'd do the same thing.
00:14:48No, you wouldn't.
00:14:51You wouldn't.
00:14:53Well, you know, you remind me of my daughter.
00:14:56You even look like her.
00:14:58Why? Because we're both female?
00:15:00That's about the only resemblance between her and me.
00:15:02Is your mother still living?
00:15:04My mother? Yes.
00:15:06How long were you in prison?
00:15:08Five years.
00:15:10Five years.
00:15:12Must have broken her heart.
00:15:14She's still in the hospital, in the alcoholic ward.
00:15:16And your father?
00:15:18He was no good.
00:15:19I guess like father, like daughter.
00:15:21It's heredity.
00:15:22It's environment.
00:15:23It's a joke.
00:15:24There were nine of us.
00:15:26I was the oldest.
00:15:28Blew their noses for them, scrubbed them, doctored them.
00:15:30Everybody living in the one room.
00:15:32Swill pile, that's what it was.
00:15:34Where'd you get hurt?
00:15:36In a raid on a bookie joint.
00:15:38I broke parole.
00:15:40That means I'm going back.
00:15:42Don't you think you were pretty silly to go to a bookie joint
00:15:45when you were out on parole?
00:15:47I went with a friend who had business there.
00:15:49Fine friend. Got you in a big jam.
00:15:51He's the one who didn't forget me when they sent me to prison.
00:15:54Love him?
00:15:56He waited five years for me.
00:15:58For me.
00:16:00A man with a college education.
00:16:02Nice manners, money.
00:16:04Everything I never had in a man before.
00:16:06Put that in your test tube, doc, and what do you see?
00:16:09What does he do?
00:16:11Gambles. In a refined sort of way.
00:16:16Feels better now.
00:16:18It'll be all right in a day or two.
00:16:20Officer.
00:16:21Yes, doc?
00:16:22You can take her back now.
00:16:23Okay.
00:16:25Doc, I just bought this outfit.
00:16:27If your daughter wears a size 12, she can have it.
00:16:30I guess I won't be needing it anymore.
00:16:35My feeling is that she's sensitive, confused, and angry.
00:16:40But Griff's right.
00:16:42I don't think Jenny Marsh is an habitual criminal.
00:16:44Well, then you think she's straightened out okay, doc?
00:16:46I mean, if somebody gave her a break.
00:16:48I think so, Griff.
00:16:49You do?
00:16:50Yes. I'm sure of it.
00:16:52Well, I still don't trust her, but go ahead.
00:16:54She's your case.
00:16:55Oh, thanks, Sam.
00:16:57You'll see. I'm right about it.
00:16:58Oh, I don't say she's a hardened criminal.
00:17:00What is a criminal, Sam?
00:17:02I've often wondered.
00:17:03I see him every day, but I still don't know.
00:17:05A criminal is somebody who commits a crime.
00:17:07Griff, she's in your office.
00:17:08And Griff, throw a scare into her.
00:17:10Okay.
00:17:12Thanks, doc.
00:17:23This will help you know the score.
00:17:2920 years later, a lifer.
00:17:31She looks 60. She's 40.
00:17:36Same girl 10 years later.
00:17:38Here's another one.
00:17:40I've seen enough.
00:17:41All right, you're sending me back.
00:17:43But you don't have to torture me first.
00:17:45Send me back and shut up!
00:17:51Ask Wesson to come in.
00:17:59Well, take it easy.
00:18:05Feel better?
00:18:07Thank you.
00:18:13Sit down.
00:18:17Maybe you've got something smart to say.
00:18:19Whatever you may think of me, Marat.
00:18:21Let's not go into that.
00:18:23Well, as I said before, it's all my fault.
00:18:25It would be unjust to make Jenny suffer for my thoughtlessness.
00:18:28Now, look here, Wesson.
00:18:30I know you think you're pretty smart.
00:18:32Smarter than a dumb parole officer.
00:18:34Well, maybe you are.
00:18:36But you're up against an organization that's too big for you.
00:18:38You can't beat the whole parole setup.
00:18:40I don't intend to try.
00:18:42All right.
00:18:44If you care about Jenny as much as you seem to,
00:18:46you'll cooperate from now on, or it's going to be just too bad.
00:18:48What am I expected to do?
00:18:49Leave her alone.
00:18:51Has it occurred to you that you're making the conditions unnecessarily difficult?
00:18:53Jenny cares for me.
00:18:55You're setting up a situation full of hazards and temptations.
00:18:58I'm aware of that.
00:19:00But I think the hazards will be greater if she sees you.
00:19:02You'll invite her to break rules
00:19:04because you look on rules as things invented for suckers.
00:19:06You think the guy who gets away with things is smart.
00:19:08What if I do stay away?
00:19:10She'll start seeing me again when she's free.
00:19:12She'll be as badly off as ever.
00:19:14By your standards.
00:19:16Well, I'm counting on her forgetting you.
00:19:18I'm counting on her meeting some normal, decent people.
00:19:20I'm counting on her getting over a feeling of gratitude to you,
00:19:22of loyalty, of...
00:19:24You mean of love, don't you?
00:19:26She didn't get over it in five years.
00:19:28Then you can wait another couple of years.
00:19:30I'll do everything I can to get her released sooner.
00:19:32I'll give you three minutes to say goodbye.
00:19:35Then you go and you don't see her till I say so.
00:19:37Agreed?
00:19:40Have we any choice?
00:19:42Agreed?
00:19:44Okay.
00:19:46I'll be back in a minute.
00:19:48How's your ankle, darling?
00:19:50It's all right.
00:19:52When I was leaving the doctor's office,
00:19:54I noticed the dictograph key was up.
00:19:56She's really a psychiatrist.
00:19:58It's a parole trick.
00:20:00Darling, I'll see you tomorrow night, about seven.
00:20:18Hello, Jenny.
00:20:20Why, hello.
00:20:22Almost missed you. Where are you going?
00:20:24Oh, just to get a bite of dinner.
00:20:26Oh, great. Get in.
00:20:28Well, I...
00:20:30Oh, come on, get in.
00:20:32It's better than eating alone, isn't it?
00:20:34Of course. Thanks.
00:20:40When I laid out that 16-year-old girl,
00:20:42I didn't know what to do.
00:20:44I didn't know what to do.
00:20:45When I laid out that $6 for your rent,
00:20:47I thought you'd blown all your money
00:20:49on that first outfit.
00:20:51I didn't know you had a private gold mine.
00:20:53Like it?
00:20:55Yeah.
00:20:57I bought it today.
00:20:59Yeah, it's, well...
00:21:01Harry's money?
00:21:03Yes.
00:21:05Well, I suppose there's no reason
00:21:07why you shouldn't use what's left of it
00:21:09as long as you have it.
00:21:11I looked to see if there was a rule against it,
00:21:13but there wasn't.
00:21:15Oh, look, if you'll just drop me in a restaurant, I'll...
00:21:17No. You're eating with me.
00:21:19Do you often take parolees to dinner?
00:21:21Mm-hmm.
00:21:23Are you married?
00:21:25I'm Italian, over 21.
00:21:27What do you expect?
00:21:29Well, how does Mrs. Morad feel about this sort of homework?
00:21:31She encourages it.
00:21:33You're kidding.
00:21:39Hello, Fred. Get in.
00:21:41You're right on time.
00:21:43Yep.
00:21:45How do you do, Miss Marsh?
00:21:47How do you do?
00:21:49You didn't mention a chaperone.
00:21:51I'm not a chaperone. I'm a dishwasher.
00:21:53A dishwasher?
00:21:55Oh. At what restaurant?
00:21:57No. We're not eating in a restaurant.
00:21:59We're going to my house.
00:22:01Does Mrs. Morad expect us?
00:22:03Sure.
00:22:05I see.
00:22:12Hi.
00:22:13Okay, get in.
00:22:21This is Tommy.
00:22:23Cut out the Tommy, can't you, Griff?
00:22:25Oh, sorry.
00:22:27This is Mr. Thomas Morad and his friend Barry.
00:22:29Miss Marsh, Mr. Bach.
00:22:31How do you do?
00:22:33Hello.
00:22:35Hi. Your son?
00:22:37Kid brother.
00:22:39Say, Griff, I told Barry you handled that killer Mike Cardoza,
00:22:41and he said no.
00:22:43Uh-huh.
00:22:45See? They give him all the killers.
00:22:47We're playing Lowell Heineck Saturday, semifinals.
00:22:49Can you come, Griff?
00:22:51Hey, why don't you sit back? You smell like a horse.
00:22:53Please. There's a lady present.
00:22:55Will you come Saturday, Griff?
00:22:57Sure. Who's going to win?
00:22:59Oh, we'll annihilate them.
00:23:14Come on.
00:23:16Hi, Mom.
00:23:18Hi.
00:23:20Griff is bringing a lady and a man.
00:23:22Yes, Tommy. Yes, Tommy, I know.
00:23:27Ah, buona sera, mamma mia.
00:23:29Buona sera.
00:23:31Brought a couple of friends home for dinner.
00:23:33Jenny Marsh and Fred Bauer.
00:23:35I don't see Miss Marsh.
00:23:37You will have to take my hand, please.
00:23:39How do you do, Mrs. Morad?
00:23:41How do you do, Miss Marsh?
00:23:43Yes, blonde or brunette, Mom?
00:23:45Oh, brunette.
00:23:47Hey, you're wrong, Mom.
00:23:49She's never missed before.
00:23:51She can cover the voice in a handshake.
00:23:53She's blonde, Mom, and how.
00:23:55Oh, one mistake doesn't count.
00:23:57Won't you come in, Miss Marsh?
00:23:59I don't want to spoil your record, Mrs. Morad.
00:24:01I think I should tell you I'm really a brunette.
00:24:03Oh, bleached.
00:24:05Uh-huh.
00:24:07Well, why do you know?
00:24:09Well, how's it done?
00:24:11Well, what do they use?
00:24:13Oh, gosh, it looks good.
00:24:15Doesn't it?
00:24:17Sure does.
00:24:19Go get cleaned up, boys.
00:24:21Change your shade, Tommy.
00:24:23Yeah, and hurry up.
00:24:25I'm starving.
00:24:27Here, let me have your coat.
00:24:29Thank you.
00:24:31Come on, Fred.
00:24:33You and I have work to do.
00:24:35Griff is our cook these days.
00:24:37Griff?
00:24:39Yes, our part-time helper left.
00:24:41Oh, would you rather stay here?
00:24:43How many of you are there living here?
00:24:45Just Griff and Tommy and me.
00:24:48Now?
00:24:50Now.
00:24:52Is somebody missing?
00:24:54My husband died last year.
00:24:56I miss him.
00:24:58I'm alone all day now.
00:25:13What do I do?
00:25:15If you bring me the radishes from the refrigerator, I'll fix them.
00:25:17All right.
00:25:19Then you can set the table, if you don't mind.
00:25:21Yes, sure.
00:25:38Mrs. Marat is wonderful, isn't she?
00:25:41Yes, she's terrific.
00:25:43Griff Marat has done a lot for me.
00:25:45Are you an old friend?
00:25:47I'd like you to know something, Jenny.
00:25:49Yes?
00:25:51I'm not exactly a friend of the family.
00:25:53Oh.
00:25:55I'm one of his parolees.
00:25:57Yes.
00:25:59I appreciate what he's doing, bringing me here,
00:26:01meeting his friends like you and his family,
00:26:03but I don't like pretending to be something I'm not.
00:26:06So I thought I'd tell you.
00:26:14What's the matter?
00:26:16I'm leaving.
00:26:18Why?
00:26:20I don't have to take this.
00:26:22I wondered what it was all about.
00:26:24Well, now I know.
00:26:26It's part of the treatment.
00:26:28The be kind to jailbird system.
00:26:30Show them a bit of home life.
00:26:32Sweet influences for sick souls.
00:26:34Well, I don't need your pity or your mother's or anybody's.
00:26:36My mother doesn't know.
00:26:38I don't care.
00:26:40I don't care.
00:26:41Anybody I bring home is okay.
00:26:43And that story about being married,
00:26:45what was that for?
00:26:47Afraid I might make a pass at you?
00:26:49I always say that.
00:26:51To the female parolees.
00:26:53Sure, if I'm asked, why not?
00:26:55You didn't have to.
00:26:57Believe me, it wasn't necessary.
00:26:59I didn't think it was.
00:27:01It's regular procedure in the office.
00:27:03Regulation 86B.
00:27:05Then they'd better fix the regulation.
00:27:07Makes a liar out of you.
00:27:09And a liar's a bad example for the weak characters
00:27:12Jenny, please try to get that chip off your shoulder.
00:27:14Come on, let's stop kidding each other.
00:27:16I want to talk straight to you.
00:27:19You're different, Jenny.
00:27:22You have a promising life ahead of you if you'll...
00:27:24I know.
00:27:26If I keep away from Harry Wesson.
00:27:28But why can't you?
00:27:30It isn't complicated.
00:27:32How would you feel if somebody'd waited five years just for you?
00:27:34Are you sure he did?
00:27:36Yes.
00:27:38He's the only man who was ever really kind to me.
00:27:39He was patient and kind.
00:27:41Taught me what fork to use,
00:27:43how to dress correctly,
00:27:45how to speak correctly.
00:27:47Everything but how to think correctly.
00:27:50You'd do a great deal for Harry Wesson, wouldn't you?
00:27:53Yes, I'd do anything for him.
00:27:55You did.
00:27:57You even killed for him.
00:27:59That's right.
00:28:01I did.
00:28:06Thank you, Sam.
00:28:07Oh, Griff.
00:28:09Yeah?
00:28:11What about Jenny Marsh?
00:28:13What about her?
00:28:15You've been trying to land her a job for more than a week.
00:28:17I checked.
00:28:19Four employers turned her down flat as soon as they learned she was a violator.
00:28:21Yeah, well, she's got a job.
00:28:23No kidding.
00:28:25I had to find her one where Harry Wesson couldn't get to her.
00:28:27I found it.
00:28:29She lives where she works, eats there, sleeps there.
00:28:31She gets a hundred a month, one day off a week.
00:28:33She reports to me every day.
00:28:35What's the job?
00:28:37Take it easy.
00:28:44Hi. Home already?
00:28:46Have a good workout?
00:28:48Yeah. Where's everybody?
00:28:50Mom went to bed. She's tired.
00:28:52Jenny's somewhere.
00:28:54Oh. Okay, Maestro.
00:29:02Oh, hello.
00:29:04Hello.
00:29:05I thought this was your night at the Y.
00:29:07Oh, I was there.
00:29:09Uh, phoning somebody?
00:29:11I phoned to see what time a movie went on.
00:29:13Your mother said she wouldn't need me.
00:29:15Oh.
00:29:17Why? Did you think I was calling Harry Wesson?
00:29:19I didn't think you were. I was just...
00:29:21Is that why you got me this job here, so you could spy on me?
00:29:23I'm not spying on you, Jenny. It's my job to check on you.
00:29:25You're making it more than that because of Harry.
00:29:27That's not true.
00:29:29Isn't it?
00:29:31Okay, I admit that.
00:29:33Because he loves me and wants to be with me.
00:29:35He gives you things with money he never earned
00:29:37without denying himself anything.
00:29:39You don't know what love is.
00:29:41And you, teacher, do you know?
00:29:44Well, not from experience, but...
00:29:47Well, I've... I've imagined it differently.
00:29:50When you fall in love, really in love,
00:29:52I think you'd know it for sure.
00:29:54A man would feel for the first time
00:29:56how wonderful life could be
00:29:58when he has someone to share it with.
00:30:00And he'd want to give her the good things of life,
00:30:02not just the trimmings.
00:30:03Friends, home, children.
00:30:05And he'd think of her before himself in everything.
00:30:08Her welfare, her future, her happiness.
00:30:11And if she loved him, he'd be rich.
00:30:16Most men don't think like that.
00:30:18You only know Harry Wesson.
00:30:21I'm sorry, Jenny.
00:30:23I don't want to hurt you.
00:30:28I know that, Griff.
00:30:29Hey, what time does that movie go on?
00:30:318.24.
00:30:33Well, we'd better hurry.
00:30:36Griff, can I come, too?
00:30:40Come on.
00:31:00Wow!
00:31:23I still don't get it.
00:31:25The guy was clear across the border.
00:31:27They'd never have caught him.
00:31:29So why'd he come back and give himself up?
00:31:31Something about human nature, Tommy,
00:31:33happens all the time.
00:31:35Men show up and confess to crimes
00:31:37they committed 5, 10, 20 years ago.
00:31:39No kidding?
00:31:41Sure. All of a sudden, they get a conscience.
00:31:43Starts to get them down,
00:31:45and a kind of corrosion sets in.
00:31:47Anybody want some ice cream or anything?
00:31:49Ice cream? Silly question.
00:31:52Ice cream, Jenny?
00:31:54Yes, Griff. Sure.
00:32:00I'll run over to the library
00:32:02and change the book.
00:32:04Don't hurry.
00:32:06It's nice here.
00:32:12I can't take it much longer, Harry.
00:32:14We can't live like this.
00:32:16I know I can't.
00:32:18That's foolish.
00:32:20It's foolish.
00:32:22It's foolish.
00:32:24It's foolish.
00:32:26It's foolish.
00:32:27I know I can't.
00:32:29That's foolish.
00:32:36Please, Harry, it's driving me crazy.
00:32:38They're so good to me, so kind.
00:32:40I've got to get out of here.
00:32:42What's bothering you? What happened?
00:32:44Griff Moran's falling for me.
00:32:46No kidding?
00:32:48I've been around long enough to know the signs.
00:32:50It's no joke.
00:32:52I don't find it a bit funny.
00:32:54I suppose it had to happen,
00:32:55He even held my hand in the movies the other night.
00:32:57My parole officer acting like a...
00:32:59It's good. It's great. Encourage him.
00:33:01It'll make things easier till that transfer comes through.
00:33:03Encourage? I don't understand.
00:33:05Look, put him in love with you, baby.
00:33:07We'll be able to handle him.
00:33:09Okay?
00:33:11Well, I...
00:33:20And this is by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
00:33:22Give All to Love.
00:33:23Give all to love.
00:33:25Obey thy heart.
00:33:27Prince Kim Jim.
00:33:29Hey, Mom, Jenny,
00:33:31I wrote her a poem for school.
00:33:33Could I read it to you?
00:33:35Sure.
00:33:39Little Purple Violets by Thomas Morant.
00:33:42Little purple violets blowing in the breeze,
00:33:45Your beautiful fragrance puts me at ease.
00:33:48Whether in a glade or in a bayou,
00:33:50Their beauty and fragrance
00:33:51Reminds me of you.
00:33:53That's fine, Tommy.
00:33:55It's fine.
00:33:57Jenny, I dedicated it to you.
00:33:59Oh, thank you, Tommy. I love it.
00:34:01Won't your girlfriend...
00:34:03What's her name, Mary? Be jealous?
00:34:05Oh, she's just a kid.
00:34:07I see. Well, you better practice your piano, Tommy.
00:34:09But I like to hear Jenny read.
00:34:11Oh, you like to hear Jenny read.
00:34:13You like to help her wash dishes.
00:34:15You like to help her shunt.
00:34:17And I like to hear you play the piano, Tommy.
00:34:19Do you?
00:34:21I think he's falling in love with you, Jenny.
00:34:24I'm flattered.
00:34:26And so is Griff.
00:34:28Sometimes blindness is not a handicap.
00:34:30I know.
00:34:32And I think you know it, too, Jenny.
00:34:34But I don't think Griff knows.
00:34:37He's only a man.
00:34:40But it isn't possible.
00:34:42You know what's in your heart, Jenny.
00:34:45Do what you think is right.
00:34:52Give all to love.
00:34:54Obey thy heart.
00:35:07Griff?
00:35:09Yeah.
00:35:11Sorry I'm late.
00:35:13It's all right. Your dinner's ready.
00:35:17Where are Mom and Tommy?
00:35:19They went to the concert.
00:35:21Oh, right. I forgot.
00:35:23Anything wrong, Griff?
00:35:25Oh, if it's my hairdo, you're right.
00:35:27It's different.
00:35:29Do you like it?
00:35:31Yeah, I like it.
00:35:33Better eat your dinner.
00:35:35Shall I sit with you?
00:35:37Yeah, would you? I hate to eat alone.
00:35:39I could have waited and had dinner with you.
00:35:41I wish I had.
00:35:43Do you, Jenny?
00:35:45Mm-hmm.
00:35:47Do you like the music?
00:35:49Yeah, fine.
00:35:51I haven't thought about it much lately.
00:35:53Do you like dancing, Griff?
00:35:55Yeah, but I'm afraid I'm not very good at it.
00:35:59What's the matter?
00:36:02Jenny, do you have relatives in San Francisco?
00:36:04What?
00:36:06Cousins called Harris.
00:36:09Why?
00:36:11This came into the office a couple of days ago.
00:36:13A request for a transfer to San Francisco.
00:36:15Oh.
00:36:17What do you think?
00:36:18Well, I...
00:36:20I don't know. I...
00:36:22Maybe I don't want to go.
00:36:25I don't think I want to be transferred.
00:36:32Why?
00:36:34Because I like my job.
00:36:36I'm glad you do.
00:36:38Because this is a phony.
00:36:40What do you mean?
00:36:42It was arranged by Harry Wesson.
00:36:44Did you know about it?
00:36:45Well...
00:36:47A long time ago, he did say something
00:36:49about trying to arrange a transfer,
00:36:51but I didn't know...
00:36:53You meant what you said, Jenny,
00:36:55that you wouldn't have wanted to go?
00:36:57That's right, Griff. I don't want to go.
00:36:59You do believe me, don't you?
00:37:01Okay, Jenny.
00:37:03I believe you.
00:37:05Thanks, Griff.
00:37:07I...
00:37:09Good night.
00:37:15Good night.
00:37:45Griff!
00:38:00Griff! Griff! I dreamed!
00:38:02Dreamed!
00:38:04Hey there. Hey, hey.
00:38:08Take it easy.
00:38:11Easy does it.
00:38:13Griff! What happened?
00:38:15You're having a nightmare.
00:38:17You better tell Mama it's all right.
00:38:19She'll be frightened. Hurry up.
00:38:23It's okay. You're all right now.
00:38:26Feel better?
00:38:30It was awful.
00:38:32Yeah, it must have been.
00:38:34I dreamed about you.
00:38:36Oh, was it that bad?
00:38:38This was.
00:38:40We were walking in a forest
00:38:42and you kept getting caught in terrible steel traps.
00:38:43Oh, fine.
00:38:45And I kept warning you and warning you,
00:38:47but you wouldn't listen.
00:38:49Well, I hope you finally convinced me.
00:38:51And you wouldn't let me go back.
00:38:53Back where?
00:38:55To prison.
00:38:57No, sir. Not a chance.
00:39:00I'm sorry I woke up the whole house.
00:39:02Well, everybody's entitled
00:39:04to a little nightmare now and then.
00:39:06You're sweet, Griff.
00:39:08Want a glass of milk?
00:39:10No, I'm fine now.
00:39:11I'll be here when you're back to sleep.
00:39:13Oh, sure. You sleep well.
00:39:15You're a sweetheart, Griff.
00:39:26I love you, Jenny.
00:39:28I know I'm no great prize.
00:39:30I don't make much money,
00:39:32although I have hopes.
00:39:34I'm just an everyday guy.
00:39:36I don't care much about nightclubs.
00:39:38I'm not a very good dancer.
00:39:39I guess I like mostly
00:39:41what you might call simple things.
00:39:43I can't offer you the expensive gowns,
00:39:45expensive times that Harry Wesson can.
00:39:51But I do love you, Jenny.
00:39:59Will you marry me, Jenny?
00:40:02Oh, no, Griff.
00:40:04You don't know what you're saying.
00:40:06Oh, it's no good. It couldn't work.
00:40:07Will you marry Wesson?
00:40:09No, it's not that. It's just...
00:40:11You don't know me, Griff.
00:40:13You deserve better than me.
00:40:15I know what I want.
00:40:17You know something?
00:40:19You're the first man who ever asked me to marry him.
00:40:21I know we can't get married right away anyhow until...
00:40:23But you could say yes now, couldn't you?
00:40:28Okay, Jenny.
00:40:30You think about it,
00:40:32but you know how I feel.
00:40:38Yes, sir?
00:40:40You have a ticket for me, Harry Wesson,
00:40:42for Havana, flight 6-615.
00:40:44Just a moment, please.
00:40:47Harry.
00:40:49Jenny.
00:40:51I must speak to you. I'm so glad I caught you.
00:40:53Mr. Wesson.
00:40:55Excuse me, Norton.
00:40:57Yes, your ticket, sir, flight 615.
00:40:59The limousine will leave in six minutes.
00:41:01Thank you.
00:41:04Please don't go, Harry.
00:41:05Can't be helped.
00:41:07Then take me with you.
00:41:09What?
00:41:11I must get out of that house. I can't stay there.
00:41:13It's only for six weeks. You'll be all right.
00:41:15This is the wrong time for you to be going away for six weeks.
00:41:17Why? What happened?
00:41:19Griff proposed.
00:41:21He what?
00:41:23Last night. He wants me to marry him.
00:41:25I never dreamed he'd go that far.
00:41:27Faroles aren't allowed to marry.
00:41:29If you marry him, it means he's the one who made you break the rules.
00:41:32He didn't mean that.
00:41:33He just wants me to say yes now and then after I'm off parole.
00:41:36If you can get him to marry you now and keep it secret,
00:41:38honey, it's sensational.
00:41:40What are you talking about?
00:41:42Look, he's got a blind mother
00:41:44and a little brother who worships him.
00:41:46And he needs that job because he's got political ambitions.
00:41:49Don't you see, Jenny?
00:41:51Once you're married to him,
00:41:53you can do anything and he won't dare give you away.
00:41:55I can't do that, Harry.
00:41:58The minute that marriage license is in your pocket,
00:42:00Griff Marat is where he belongs.
00:42:01Right behind the apron.
00:42:03I can't, Harry. I can't.
00:42:07Marty will know where I am.
00:42:09The minute you're married,
00:42:11get out of that house and wire me.
00:42:13Bye, darling.
00:42:15Harry.
00:42:32Good afternoon, Bureau of Paroles.
00:42:34How can I help you, sir?
00:42:36I'd like to speak to Mr. Marat.
00:42:38Mr. Marat?
00:42:40Mr. Marat?
00:42:42Mr. Marat?
00:42:44Mr. Marat?
00:42:46Mr. Marat?
00:42:48Mr. Marat?
00:42:50Mr. Marat?
00:42:52Mr. Marat?
00:42:54Mr. Marat?
00:42:56Mr. Marat?
00:42:58Mr. Marat?
00:42:59Good afternoon, Bureau of Paroles.
00:43:08Hello?
00:43:10Where am I?
00:43:12When?
00:43:14She just packed a few things and left.
00:43:16Oh, she told me, Griff, about you and herself.
00:43:19She said that she couldn't live here with you
00:43:22and it wasn't fair to marry you, so...
00:43:24You got any idea where she went?
00:43:26Did you say anything to Indy?
00:43:27No, she just left, that's all.
00:43:29Oh, but Griff, there was something.
00:43:32I don't know what it is.
00:43:34It's something printed, I think.
00:43:37It seems to be a leaflet of some sort.
00:43:40It was on her bed.
00:43:57I have the list of passengers of Flight 615.
00:44:00There's Mr. Harry Duffy, Mr. Alan Waterman,
00:44:03J.J. Jennings...
00:44:05Jennings, a man or woman?
00:44:07That was a man.
00:44:09Mr. Harry Wesson...
00:44:11Harry Wesson?
00:44:13Yeah, I thought you were looking for a lady.
00:44:15Yeah, that's right, go on, please. Any other woman?
00:44:17The only other woman is Miss Mary Wilson.
00:44:21What does she look like?
00:44:23I remember her.
00:44:25She was very nervous, sort of worried.
00:44:27She had gray hair, was about 65 years old,
00:44:29short and stout.
00:44:31Attention, please.
00:44:33Passengers on Flight 56 for Seattle.
00:44:36Flight 56 is leaving from Gate 3.
00:44:39Flight 56 for Seattle is leaving from Gate 3.
00:44:51Jenny!
00:44:53Griff!
00:44:58Why are you running away from me?
00:45:00Because I don't know what else to do.
00:45:02Now, that's no answer.
00:45:04I'm just no good for you, Griff.
00:45:06Don't say that. Look, it's something I've done.
00:45:08Oh, no, no, I can't explain it to you.
00:45:10But being in your house, being with you, I...
00:45:12You're going to marry me now, today.
00:45:14Oh, no, no.
00:45:16Why? Don't you want to marry me?
00:45:18You do love me, Jenny, don't you?
00:45:20I thought I didn't. I was ready to leave, but...
00:45:22Oh, darling, it can't be.
00:45:24No, we'll manage, it'll be all right.
00:45:25Nobody needs to know.
00:45:27We'll just tell Mom, maybe, that's all.
00:45:29But you do love me.
00:45:31Oh, yes, yes, yes.
00:45:33We can get a plane ride here from Las Vegas and get married.
00:45:35The police can't leave the state.
00:45:37You'll be in the custody of a parole officer,
00:45:39so that makes it all right.
00:45:41Oh, Griff, Griff.
00:45:43For you two to stay apart would have been wrong.
00:45:45But we must trust nobody with this secret.
00:45:47Griffin has much to lose if it is discovered.
00:45:49His whole career.
00:45:51I hope Jenny has more to lose.
00:45:53Her whole life.
00:45:55Oh, be very careful.
00:45:57Dio ti benedica, figlia.
00:46:01God bless you.
00:46:25Hello.
00:46:27Hello.
00:46:29Jenny?
00:46:31Yes, I'm home.
00:46:33Just got in.
00:46:35Why didn't I hear from you?
00:46:37I don't know, Griff.
00:46:39I'm sorry.
00:46:41I'm sorry.
00:46:43I'm sorry.
00:46:45I'm sorry.
00:46:47I'm sorry.
00:46:49I'm sorry.
00:46:51I'm sorry.
00:46:53I'm sorry.
00:46:55Why didn't I hear from you?
00:46:57Well, I...
00:46:59I couldn't. I...
00:47:01Couldn't you get him to take the leap?
00:47:03I thought you had him hooked when I left.
00:47:06What happened?
00:47:09Oh, you aren't alone.
00:47:11Just answer yes or no.
00:47:13Can you meet me?
00:47:15Well, yes, but...
00:47:17Good.
00:47:19Five o'clock, the library.
00:47:21Fine.
00:47:23See you.
00:47:25Bye-bye.
00:47:52Harry.
00:47:53You shouldn't have come here.
00:47:55You kept me waiting there for an hour.
00:47:57For what reason?
00:47:59Mrs. Marat isn't feeling well.
00:48:01Oh.
00:48:02But I... I...
00:48:03Yes?
00:48:04I did want to see you.
00:48:05Really?
00:48:06Because I have something to tell you, but I...
00:48:08Relax.
00:48:09What are you afraid of?
00:48:10Please, Harry.
00:48:12Griff is coming home.
00:48:14He'll be here any minute.
00:48:15Oh.
00:48:16We must go, Harry.
00:48:17Jenny?
00:48:19Who's there?
00:48:21Is it Griff?
00:48:23Who came in?
00:48:25It's all right, Mom.
00:48:27It's just a friend of mine.
00:48:28Who's just a friend?
00:48:30Griff.
00:48:31Yes, Mom.
00:48:33Something's wrong, Griff.
00:48:36Mom.
00:48:38Go to your room.
00:48:39Please.
00:48:41Yes, Griff.
00:48:50Griff!
00:48:52You've had this coming for a long time.
00:48:56Griff, don't!
00:49:14Ow.
00:49:16Oh, Griff.
00:49:18Hey, hey.
00:49:19It's all right.
00:49:20It's all right.
00:49:22Now, look.
00:49:23I'm the one who got the poke in the mouth.
00:49:25Oh, Griff.
00:49:26I'm afraid.
00:49:28I'm afraid.
00:49:29Oh, don't worry, honey.
00:49:30He won't bother you again.
00:49:32Never again.
00:49:35Good afternoon, Bureau of Paroles.
00:49:37Mr. Marat?
00:49:44Hello.
00:49:45Hello, Mr. Marat.
00:49:46Yeah?
00:49:47This is Harry Wesson.
00:49:48I have something to tell you about your wife.
00:49:52Hello?
00:49:54Hello?
00:49:55Hello?
00:49:58Hello?
00:50:03Hello?
00:50:05Hello?
00:50:18Hello?
00:50:38Hello.
00:50:40Hello, this is Griff Marat.
00:50:42Send an ambulance right away to 3039 Wilshire.
00:50:44Apartment, uh, 203.
00:50:48Now, somebody shot Harry Wesson, but he's still breathing.
00:50:50Hurry it up, please.
00:51:19Hello?
00:51:20Griff Marat again.
00:51:22I think I know who did it.
00:51:24Jenny Marsh, a parolee.
00:51:27I'll bring her in.
00:51:49Griff?
00:51:50Yeah?
00:51:51Please, come here.
00:51:52Where's Jenny?
00:51:53She's up here.
00:51:58Jenny told me that...
00:51:59Let me go.
00:52:00She told me the whole thing.
00:52:01She told me what happened.
00:52:03She wanted to turn herself in to the police, but I made her wait for you.
00:52:05Jenny shot that man because she loved you.
00:52:07She loved you.
00:52:09She loved you.
00:52:10She loved you.
00:52:11She loved you.
00:52:12She loved you.
00:52:13She loved you.
00:52:14She loved you.
00:52:15She loved you.
00:52:16She loved you.
00:52:17She killed him because she loved you.
00:52:18She's a liar.
00:52:19I saw a letter she wrote him that you was Michi and Wesson.
00:52:21She never loved me.
00:52:22Griff!
00:52:23Griff!
00:52:24Griff!
00:52:25I heard what you said, but it isn't true.
00:52:26Well, you're a liar and you cheat.
00:52:27You're no good.
00:52:29I made a fool of myself over you.
00:52:30I never again...
00:52:31Griff, please.
00:52:32Come on.
00:52:33Griff!
00:52:34Griff!
00:52:36Griff, you must listen.
00:52:38I don't care what happens to me, but I want you to know the truth.
00:52:40I went to Harry's apartment.
00:52:42I wanted to tell him about us.
00:52:43I went to Harry's apartment.
00:52:45I wanted to tell him about us.
00:52:49Oh, Jenny, come in.
00:52:51I can't stay, Harry.
00:52:52Mrs. Marat's waiting down the street.
00:52:54I had to speak to you.
00:52:56Oh, I'm sorry about what happened.
00:52:58I hope he didn't hurt you.
00:52:59But he did nothing to what I'll do to him.
00:53:02Nobody pushes me around, nobody.
00:53:04Harry, you've always been very generous and very kind.
00:53:08And I know you'll understand.
00:53:09Why didn't you get in touch with me during the whole six weeks?
00:53:12Well, it was pretty difficult.
00:53:13Why'd you refuse to accept that transfer to San Francisco?
00:53:16I didn't refuse it.
00:53:17They found out it was a false transfer.
00:53:18Who told them?
00:53:19You?
00:53:20No.
00:53:23Harry, I've come to tell you something.
00:53:26You've fallen for him.
00:53:28Yes.
00:53:30All the way.
00:53:31So that's why you didn't get in touch with me.
00:53:33You just stayed here, playing kissing games.
00:53:36But you couldn't get him to marry you.
00:53:38The day you left, Harry, I ran away.
00:53:40I don't really think I knew why then.
00:53:41I was just mixed up and I had to get away.
00:53:45But I know now.
00:53:47You're my friend, Harry, and I'm grateful to you.
00:53:50But I'm in love with Griff.
00:53:51In love?
00:53:55You're not in love with that fool.
00:53:57I've been happier than I ever was in my whole life.
00:54:00I didn't know I could be so happy.
00:54:02Oh, I know you'll understand.
00:54:03You've always been so sympathetic and...
00:54:09Hello?
00:54:11Yes, Monty.
00:54:13What's the date?
00:54:16Thanks, Monty.
00:54:18That's all I need.
00:54:22So I've come to ask you if you'll leave me alone, Harry, and let me try...
00:54:25Shut up.
00:54:27All along, I've had a hunch there was something wrong.
00:54:29Not hearing from you.
00:54:31The way you acted at the airline office.
00:54:33His house.
00:54:34With him acting like he owned you.
00:54:36Like a husband.
00:54:38And you didn't tell me yourself.
00:54:40Now I have to get Monty to check the marriage license bureaus.
00:54:43It's in the record, baby.
00:54:44In the record.
00:54:46You married him the same day I left.
00:54:47You've been in love with him all the time.
00:54:49I guess I have been.
00:54:50Do you think I'm going to stand still while you make a fool of yourself over that rover boy...
00:54:53...and then take you back when you come running to me again?
00:54:55I won't be coming back, Harry.
00:54:56You're so right, baby.
00:54:58Because you're not walking out on me.
00:55:01Not for Griff Morath.
00:55:02Not for him.
00:55:02Not for that fool.
00:55:03I'm sorry, Harry.
00:55:04I didn't want it this way.
00:55:05But that's it.
00:55:07You think I give up this easily?
00:55:11You think I'm going to have people laughing at me?
00:55:13I'll ruin him if it's the last thing I do.
00:55:15You will not.
00:55:16I'm just starting to see you as you really are.
00:55:19You've always had to be the big shot, the powerful one, handing out favors.
00:55:22That's why you like doing things for me.
00:55:24You did all right.
00:55:25I didn't know any better then.
00:55:26You think you can do better with Griff Morath?
00:55:28Griff is decent and he's smart.
00:55:29And he'll get places the right way.
00:55:31And he's showed you up every time.
00:55:33That's why you hate him.
00:55:34Not because of me.
00:55:35Shut up, Jenny.
00:55:36You shut up.
00:55:37I'm thinking clearer these days.
00:55:39You owe me five years, Harry.
00:55:41I shot a man to save your life and I went to prison for it.
00:55:44I didn't have sense enough then to think it was wrong that you let me go.
00:55:48But now I consider it a debt.
00:55:50We're even.
00:55:52I'm through, Harry.
00:55:53I'm no longer asking you to say goodbye.
00:55:56I'm just saying it.
00:55:58Oh?
00:56:00Well, before you say it,
00:56:01I want you to listen to a little speech I've got for Griff Morath.
00:56:04What do you mean?
00:56:05You and I had a deal, baby.
00:56:08You were to marry him so you could be with me.
00:56:11Remember?
00:56:12Well, I'm going to tell him about that.
00:56:13He'll never believe you.
00:56:15Won't he?
00:56:20I love you, darling.
00:56:22Please, Harry.
00:56:23Harry, please.
00:56:23I'm sorry for what I said.
00:56:25Please, Harry, you can't.
00:56:26Can't I?
00:56:26Watch me.
00:56:27Harry, I don't blame you, but...
00:56:28Excuse me while I push Humpty Dumpty off his wall.
00:56:30Information?
00:56:31Give me the number of the parole division.
00:56:32Harry, no.
00:56:33No, you'll break his heart.
00:56:34That's the idea.
00:56:35You catch on quick, Jimmy.
00:56:36Harry, please.
00:56:37I'll come back to you.
00:56:38I will, just don't do that to him.
00:56:39Yes?
00:56:402230?
00:56:41Thank you.
00:56:47Stop that.
00:56:49Put down that phone.
00:56:51Stop being melodramatic.
00:56:53Mr. Morath, please.
00:56:54I said put down that phone.
00:56:58Would you like to speak to him yourself?
00:57:00I'll tell him you're here.
00:57:01Hello, Mr. Morath.
00:57:03This is Harry Wesson.
00:57:04I have something to tell you about your wife.
00:57:13That's what happened.
00:57:16That's the truth, Griff.
00:57:20I have no reason to lie to you now.
00:57:23Maybe I'm no good, but I do love you.
00:57:35Why did you do that?
00:57:36Where are we going?
00:57:37Griff, please, why did you turn around?
00:57:38Where are you going?
00:57:39They're expecting me to bring you in.
00:57:41If I can make it to San Diego and the Mexican border
00:57:43before the alarm goes out, I can get you across
00:57:45before we're missed.
00:57:46No, Griff, you must.
00:57:47If you try to be a life sentence,
00:57:48you haven't got a chance, Jenny.
00:57:49They'll never believe you.
00:57:50But you can't do this, Griff.
00:57:51It means you're throwing away your job, your whole career.
00:57:53I'm trying to bring you in.
00:57:54Oh, Griff.
00:57:55Unless you've gotten away with it, we'll be all right.
00:58:05It's only 15 miles to the border,
00:58:06but we're running out of gas.
00:58:08Can't we make it?
00:58:10I'm afraid we'll have to take a chance and stop.
00:58:20Fill her up, please.
00:58:21Hurry.
00:58:22Yes, sir.
00:58:23...arrived in this country today,
00:58:24announces that she will marry the American industrialist...
00:58:26Two hamburgers to go up, please.
00:58:27One onions on them?
00:58:28Yeah, everything's rushed.
00:58:29Put it in right out.
00:58:30Harry, I want you to take a look at this.
00:58:33Harry Wesson, a gambler, was shot this morning.
00:58:36He named his assailant a woman called Jenny Marsh.
00:58:40Although he's still alive,
00:58:41doctors say he has little chance to recover.
00:58:44This woman, who was a paroled murderess,
00:58:46was being taken to the police by her parole officer
00:58:49when both disappeared.
00:58:51The police believe she murdered the parole officer
00:58:53and is using his car.
00:58:55The license number of the parole officer's car is 1-N-8-8-8-1.
00:59:01Hey, Pop.
00:59:02Four hamburgers.
00:59:03Coming right up.
00:59:05Now for the sports roundup.
00:59:07Jesse Hernandez will take on Art Palmer
00:59:10at New York's Madison Square Garden.
00:59:12The winner will be the logical challenger
00:59:14for the welterweight crown, Tony Edwards.
00:59:21Come on, hurry up.
00:59:22The wedding is starting.
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:32I'm still going to try for the border.
00:59:34But Griff, the alarm's out.
00:59:35They'll be looking for us.
00:59:36Not in this car.
00:59:37They're not going to question
00:59:38a honeymoon couple too closely.
01:00:02Jeff.
01:00:23I'll take a look around.
01:00:26Mighty nice day for it.
01:00:28Stolen car. The crooks left the bride and groom standing at the curb.
01:00:32Nice way to begin a honeymoon, eh?
01:00:34I say, this is a good one.
01:00:35California license number 6-3-W-3-4-8.
01:00:52Hey!
01:00:55That won't do you any good.
01:00:57That won't do you any good.
01:00:59Anybody can tell from your face.
01:01:24Griff, we'll never get out of this.
01:01:26Hold tight.
01:01:46We've got to get rid of this car.
01:01:48But then what?
01:01:49The bus.
01:01:56No.
01:02:26Yeah, put a slug right through him.
01:02:36Some beautiful blonde, eh?
01:02:47You'll have to change the color of your hair.
01:02:56Jenny, let me in.
01:03:13Hey, looks fine.
01:03:15We've got to get out of here. That landlady's been asking too many questions.
01:03:19Maybe she's just curious.
01:03:21Well, we can't take any chances.
01:03:24Maybe I can pawn this.
01:03:26Pawn? Oh, Griff.
01:03:28Get enough money for a bus fare to someplace else.
01:03:35Got a nail file?
01:03:38Thanks.
01:03:39No, Griff!
01:03:40I know what I'm doing!
01:03:43The back is all scratched up.
01:03:45Yeah, well, it had something on it I didn't like anyway.
01:03:48Where'd you get this watch?
01:03:50It was given to me.
01:03:51I don't handle any hot goods.
01:03:53Look, I didn't steal it.
01:03:54Okay, okay. Don't get excited.
01:03:58Wait a minute. I want to see what the gold weighs.
01:04:11Hello, operator. Get me the police.
01:04:14Hello, Sarge. This is Sam Green.
01:04:17There's a guy in here trying to pawn a watch.
01:04:20I'm not sure, but I think it's the guy in the paper.
01:04:23You know, the lovers.
01:04:25Well, hurry it up. I'm no hero.
01:04:27Okay, I'll try to stall him.
01:04:44How much you want for this?
01:04:46Must have cost 200 bucks. I ought to get 100.
01:04:48You're crazy. I might give you 25.
01:04:50Give me the watch.
01:04:51Take it easy. Take it easy.
01:04:53I might go a little higher.
01:04:55Where'd you say you got this?
01:04:57I told you. It was given to me.
01:04:59What was on the back that's scratched off?
01:05:01I'm selling you the watch as is.
01:05:03Got anything else you want to sell?
01:05:04No.
01:05:05How about the ring?
01:05:06No. How much?
01:05:07How much do you want?
01:05:09Look, give me 50 bucks and let's stop all this.
01:05:1235 is more like it.
01:05:14I don't want to sell it. Give me the watch.
01:05:16Get your hands up. Get your hands up.
01:05:17What is this?
01:05:18I recognized you the minute you came in.
01:05:20Don't try anything funny. The police are on their way over.
01:05:22Look, mister, you're wrong. I don't know what you're talking about.
01:05:25Look, you keep the watch. I found it.
01:05:27Just let me out of here.
01:05:28Don't move.
01:05:29Stay where you are. I'm warning you.
01:05:31You're this guy. I'm a rat.
01:05:32The guy with the murderers.
01:05:33Oh, no. It's a basketball trophy.
01:05:36Get out of the way.
01:05:37How much I want for this?
01:05:39Get out.
01:05:41Stop him. Stop him.
01:05:53Yeah, like I said.
01:05:54They give you the book for carrying a heater.
01:05:56But a knife?
01:05:58Even a woodcarver carries a knife.
01:06:00Get it, Jack?
01:06:02Woodcarver.
01:06:06Ain't answered me yet.
01:06:11What racket you two in?
01:06:13Badger game?
01:06:16With a smart-looking tomato like her, it'd be a cinch.
01:06:19But what's the matter?
01:06:21You're so hot, you're scared to talk?
01:06:23I ain't exactly cold myself.
01:06:26A little slug, baby?
01:06:28No, thanks.
01:06:29I, uh, borrowed this on my last job.
01:06:3320-year-old whiskey.
01:06:36I only go for the best.
01:06:41Four tomorrow morning. Gang number four.
01:06:43Name?
01:06:44Buddy Smith.
01:06:45Address?
01:06:47Uh, 1256 Emilita.
01:06:49Social security number?
01:06:51What's your social security number?
01:06:53Ain't you got a card?
01:06:55I, uh, I forgot it. I didn't bring it.
01:06:57Sorry, bud. Next.
01:07:00Name?
01:07:05Oh, Griff, I'm so sorry.
01:07:08Oh, Griff, I'm so glad you're back.
01:07:10There's nothing in this paper, either.
01:07:12We haven't been in for days.
01:07:13Good.
01:07:14Oh, Griff!
01:07:16I never knew you could be so hungry.
01:07:18I guess these aren't from the Waldorf, but...
01:07:21Mmm!
01:07:22And they're wonderful.
01:07:23Where'd you get them?
01:07:25Carriage yard down the road.
01:07:27I hope they didn't cost much.
01:07:28We'll need money for dinner tonight.
01:07:30How much have we left, darling?
01:07:32Griff, we spent all our money yesterday.
01:07:35You had only enough for bus fare this morning.
01:07:38How did you get these?
01:07:40I borrowed them.
01:07:43All right, I stole them.
01:07:44What are we supposed to do, starve?
01:07:46I stole them because there's no other way, so eat them!
01:07:48You haven't had anything all day, Jenny. Eat!
01:07:51Look, please don't cry, Jenny. We have...
01:07:53I'm not crying. It's just for you to have to steal.
01:07:56For you.
01:07:57How much is all this stuff worth?
01:07:59It costs you more than it's worth.
01:08:01Jenny, there's a policeman watching us.
01:08:04Let's go.
01:08:06I've had enough.
01:08:07Hey, you!
01:08:08Wait a minute.
01:08:10Come here.
01:08:11I've been watching you.
01:08:13What's the idea of littering up the park with your garbage?
01:08:15You raised in a pig pen or something?
01:08:17Coming in here and throwing his trash all around?
01:08:19I ought to run you in.
01:08:20Now, clean up that mess.
01:08:22What do you think this thing is for, decorations?
01:08:24Now, tidy up everything so it's ship-shaped.
01:08:26Or, say, help me, I'll write you both a ticket.
01:08:35This is my wife.
01:08:37How do?
01:08:38There's an empty house right next to where I live.
01:08:40Manager said you could have it.
01:08:41Fine.
01:08:48Keep the rain off you.
01:08:49It'll be fine.
01:08:50Oh, Glory, my wife.
01:08:52Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Parker.
01:08:54Wasn't that the name?
01:08:55Yeah, that's right.
01:08:56Hi.
01:08:57How do you do?
01:08:58Where you folks say you come from?
01:08:59I don't know.
01:09:00You don't?
01:09:01I don't know.
01:09:02Where you folks say you come from?
01:09:03Colorado.
01:09:04Montana.
01:09:06Well, we, uh, just came down from Montana.
01:09:08Originally from Colorado.
01:09:10Oh.
01:09:11Be back in a few minutes.
01:09:12Show you where to work.
01:09:14We're going in.
01:09:19What's the matter with you, Jenny?
01:09:20I told you it's Colorado.
01:09:21Colorado.
01:09:22The last place you said it was Montana.
01:09:23Just before we got off the bus, I told you Colorado.
01:09:25I couldn't remember.
01:09:26Well, I have to remember everything.
01:09:28Fake names, fake social security numbers.
01:09:30Remember to leave before they get wise to me.
01:09:32You don't even remember the name of a state.
01:09:35I'm sorry, Griff.
01:09:36I made a mistake.
01:09:37Well, we can't afford mistakes.
01:09:39You know how much it depends on it.
01:09:40Now, that guy probably suspects something's phony.
01:09:42It's no good, is it, Griff?
01:09:44If you just use your head.
01:09:46Yes.
01:09:47Heads instead of hearts.
01:09:56Forgive me, Jenny.
01:09:57I didn't mean it.
01:09:59Griff, why do we quarrel like this?
01:10:01Sometimes I start it, sometimes you.
01:10:03We're not getting on with each other.
01:10:05Or with other people.
01:10:07What's happening to us, Griff?
01:10:09Nothing, honey. We're under strain.
01:10:11I'm sorry I was irritable.
01:10:13I don't know what's the matter with me.
01:10:15I'm just tired. I just...
01:10:17That's not it.
01:10:18We're both jumpy and cross and all mixed up.
01:10:20We're not ourselves.
01:10:22We haven't had a happy moment since...
01:10:23Four weeks of this life would do it to anybody.
01:10:25We're living like pigs.
01:10:27Other people have been happy in a house like this.
01:10:29And doing work like this.
01:10:31And then we'll be happy, too.
01:10:33We will.
01:10:34I get 40 bucks a week on this job.
01:10:36They won't catch up with that phony social security number...
01:10:38For seven or eight weeks.
01:10:40By that time, we'll have some money to get a long way from here.
01:10:42Hey, Parker.
01:10:44That's for you, Mr. Parker.
01:10:46Come on. The boss wants me to show you where you work.
01:10:48Yeah, coming.
01:10:57Come on.
01:11:12It's about time.
01:11:16How do you like working here after two weeks?
01:11:18It's okay.
01:11:20You ever been in California?
01:11:22No.
01:11:23My wife's brother lives there.
01:11:25He's got his own house.
01:11:27You know how he got the money to pay for the house?
01:11:29He turned in a crook and got a reward.
01:11:33Maybe I'll live in California pretty soon.
01:11:37I hear it's a pretty nice place.
01:11:40Your wife ever been in California?
01:11:42No.
01:11:43My wife wants to live there.
01:11:45I told her.
01:11:47Get a crook, turn him in, get a big reward.
01:11:49We buy a house, live in California, too.
01:11:51She wants to be a waitress and drive in the restaurant.
01:11:54Waitress?
01:11:55Your wife got ambition like that?
01:11:58No.
01:12:25Hello, dearie.
01:12:26Hello.
01:12:30Oh, dear. I told my grocer not to put the things on top.
01:12:50Thanks, dearie, for picking up the paper for me.
01:12:53First delivery we've had in a week.
01:12:55Joe said he was going to give that paper boy a piece of his mind.
01:12:58Looks like everybody got a paper on time today.
01:13:01Make him thank Joe for that.
01:13:03You ought to subscribe.
01:13:06Oh, thanks, honey.
01:13:07Just put them on top here.
01:13:09That's it. The paper, too.
01:13:11Paper?
01:13:12Yeah, sure. Joe always reads it after dinner.
01:13:14Would you mind opening the door for me? It isn't locked.
01:13:16Oh, thanks, honey.
01:13:23Come on.
01:13:43Oh, darling.
01:13:44Oh, I'm sorry I'm late, honey.
01:13:46I came through town.
01:13:48Griff.
01:13:49Got something for you, Jenna.
01:13:50A little present for my girl.
01:13:52Go on, open it.
01:13:54It's an awful little present, but...
01:14:00Griff.
01:14:03Hey, hey.
01:14:05You know, it isn't that bad, is it?
01:14:08You know what they say.
01:14:09It's not the gift, it's the thought that counts.
01:14:11Yes, Griff, that's what really counts.
01:14:16Don't let me stop you.
01:14:17I'm just paying you back the eggs I borrowed.
01:14:20Oh, it's no hot water again.
01:14:22I was going to wash my hair and...
01:14:24Well, it's dyed, isn't it?
01:14:26Oh, uh, yes, you see, I...
01:14:28I can always tell dyed hair.
01:14:30I noticed the first day you got here.
01:14:32I bet you used to bleach it.
01:14:33Now it's dyed back to its natural color, huh?
01:14:35Yes.
01:14:38That's Joe. He's home.
01:14:40Wait till he sees there's no hot water.
01:14:41He'll yell like a bull.
01:14:43Think he's in the ghost someplace, dearie?
01:14:44Oh, no.
01:14:45Joey!
01:14:46Yeah, what is it?
01:14:47There's no hot water.
01:14:48That's what I tell you.
01:14:49Yelling like a bull.
01:14:50That heat, it's all corroded.
01:14:52Once corrosion starts with those things,
01:14:54they're finished.
01:14:56Morning!
01:14:58Come on, I'm hungry.
01:15:04Jenny.
01:15:07Tell me if there's any...
01:15:08Corrosion.
01:15:09What?
01:15:10That's what'll happen to us.
01:15:12What about?
01:15:13Were you planning to go somewhere without me?
01:15:15Oh, no.
01:15:16Be back in a minute.
01:15:19Okay.
01:15:32What's wrong?
01:15:34We're going back, Griff.
01:15:36What?
01:15:37We're going to give ourselves up.
01:15:38Don't talk that way.
01:15:39It was those people that got you upset.
01:15:41That frowzy Dane with all the snooping.
01:15:43Sorry you had to put up with them.
01:15:45A lot of things.
01:15:46We'll get out of here.
01:15:47We'll go someplace else.
01:15:48We'd only have to run away again.
01:15:50No, we'll run so far this time
01:15:51they'll stop looking for us.
01:15:53Maybe they'll stop looking for us.
01:15:55But we'll never stop running.
01:15:56We're getting out of here.
01:15:58Griff, it's too late.
01:16:05He's already called the police.
01:16:06Police?
01:16:07He knows?
01:16:08Yes, that's why she came over here, to make sure.
01:16:10How did they find out?
01:16:11The newspaper.
01:16:12Pictures of us again.
01:16:13You saw it?
01:16:14Yes.
01:16:16Come on.
01:16:17Let's hurry.
01:16:18It isn't too late yet.
01:16:19It is, Griff.
01:16:20For me.
01:16:25Jenny, please.
01:16:26You're all that matters to me.
01:16:27You can't go back.
01:16:28I've got to.
01:16:29It's no good this way.
01:16:30What kind of life is this for you?
01:16:31We haven't got a chance, Jenny.
01:16:32Yes, we have.
01:16:33A little chance, maybe.
01:16:34But at least a chance.
01:16:36There's no happiness this way, darling.
01:16:38We're breaking the rules.
01:16:40That's not for you, Griff.
01:16:41And it's not for me either anymore.
01:16:44It's better, Griff.
01:16:45Please.
01:16:46It's better.
01:16:51Yes.
01:16:53Let's go now, right away.
01:16:55We don't want to be caught.
01:16:56We want to give ourselves up.
01:16:59Wait.
01:17:01My bracelet.
01:17:15Oh, you!
01:17:23Were you answering a joke?
01:17:24Did you not tell him?
01:17:26Yes, I told him.
01:17:27So what did you tell him, exactly?
01:17:29I told him if he didn't get us a new heater, I was quitting the company.
01:17:33Yeah, and he said...
01:17:35You take it from there, Flory.
01:17:37I'm tired.
01:17:38What?
01:17:39Tired.
01:17:40There's a picture of a dame here in the paper.
01:17:42Looks like that girl next door.
01:17:44Nah.
01:17:46In the papers, they all look alike.
01:17:48She's a nice kid.
01:17:50But me and Mary, they sure are crazy about each other.
01:17:53Come on, Joe, eat this mess.
01:18:10The police are here, Mr. Wesson.
01:18:17Well, here they are, Wesson.
01:18:20All you have to do is identify her.
01:18:25She gave herself up.
01:18:26Well, just tell us if she shot you.
01:18:37It was an accident.
01:18:40An accident?
01:18:42Well, that isn't what you said in the report.
01:18:44It was an accident, I tell you.
01:18:50Well, I guess there's nothing more for us to do.
01:18:55Come on, Mike.
01:18:56What about jumping parole?
01:18:58She was with her parole officer, wasn't she?
01:19:00For two months?
01:19:01Yeah, for two months.
01:19:07Thanks, Harry.
01:19:09I'm a good enough gambler to know when I've lost.
01:19:12But it took a bullet to convince me.
01:19:15Ness, do me a favor.
01:19:17Yes, Mr. Wesson.
01:19:19Throw these people out of here.
