00:03:41Good evening, Mrs. Ivers.
00:03:42Good evening.
00:03:43Good evening, Mrs. Ivers.
00:03:45I have good news.
00:03:46Martha...
00:03:47What about her?
00:03:48Martha has been found.
00:03:50I know.
00:03:51Well, it was Walter who was really responsible
00:03:53for Martha being found.
00:03:54He told the police where she and that boy,
00:03:56Sam Masterson, usually go.
00:03:58Isn't that so, Walter?
00:04:00Yes, Father.
00:04:02The boy will be rewarded.
00:04:05Well, he's a good boy, and he's bright.
00:04:08If I could afford it, I'd send him to...
00:04:10Send him to a school like Harvard.
00:04:12I guess I've mentioned it before.
00:04:13Many times.
00:04:16Yes, madam?
00:04:18Take the boy to the kitchen, Lynch.
00:04:19Give him some ice cream.
00:04:21You may give him a piece of cake, too.
00:04:23Go along.
00:04:24We must thank Mrs. Ivers, Molly.
00:04:26Thank you, Mrs. Ivers.
00:04:33You've lost your pupil, Mr. O'Neil.
00:04:36I'm sending her away.
00:04:37I know why you offered to tutor Martha.
00:04:39I know why you made Walter do his daily lessons with her.
00:04:42I know why you want him to live here.
00:04:45A scholarship for Walter, that's why.
00:04:47But I'm not a foundation, Mr. O'Neil.
00:04:49I don't care whether Walter drives a truck
00:04:51or goes to Harvard.
00:04:52Probably be a lot happier driving a truck.
00:04:58You are expected, miss.
00:05:01Oh, just a minute, miss.
00:05:03The name's Landine.
00:05:06You'll tell Mrs. Ivers
00:05:07the name of the detective who caught her is Landine.
00:05:09I'll tell her.
00:05:16I'll take your furs, miss.
00:05:18No.
00:05:19You'd better, miss.
00:05:20You know how she feels about that cat.
00:05:22I'll bring it up to your room.
00:05:29Your aunt is waiting for you.
00:05:37Come closer, Martha.
00:05:45Closer, Martha.
00:05:55Look at me.
00:05:57Look at me.
00:05:59Look at me.
00:06:01Look at me.
00:06:03Look at me.
00:06:05Look at me.
00:06:11You don't seem very sorry.
00:06:13I am.
00:06:15I'm sorry I was caught.
00:06:19No matter what you do, I won't cry.
00:06:22This is the fourth time you've tried to run away.
00:06:24Each time you were brought back here,
00:06:26no matter how far you got, you were brought back here.
00:06:29You don't own the whole world.
00:06:31Enough of it to make sure
00:06:32that you'll always be brought back here.
00:06:34Do you understand that?
00:06:37Do you understand that?
00:06:39Your aunt doesn't deserve such an attitude, Martha.
00:06:42There are not very many women
00:06:43who'd be as patient and as kind.
00:06:45And there aren't very many little girls
00:06:46who'd be as ungrateful.
00:06:48When will you understand
00:06:49that I'm doing all this for you?
00:06:51That I'm trying to wash the dirt and grime off you,
00:06:54make an Ivers out of you again?
00:06:56My name is Smith, the same as my father's was.
00:06:59Your name is Ivers.
00:07:00I've had it changed legally.
00:07:02I don't care what you've done.
00:07:03Your name is Ivers, the same as your mother's was
00:07:05before she was stupid enough to marry...
00:07:06Shut up! Shut up!
00:07:07How dare you?
00:07:08Shut up!
00:07:10You've still got his foul mouth.
00:07:12I won't let you talk that way about my father.
00:07:14Your father was a nobody, a mill hand.
00:07:15The best thing he ever did for you was to die.
00:07:18I'll kill you. I'll kill you!
00:07:19Stop! Stop! Stop!
00:07:21It's all right, Mr. O'Neil.
00:07:26Go up to your room and get into some dry clothes.
00:07:28After you've had dinner, I want to have a talk with you.
00:07:34It's late. I'll go get my son.
00:07:38Good night.
00:07:39Stay. I'm upset.
00:07:42I want someone to talk to.
00:07:44Yes, Mrs. Ivers.
00:07:48Lynch told me to sneak bundles to you.
00:07:50I thought you'd be hungry, so I sneaked the milk, too.
00:07:58She hates cats.
00:08:01She hates cats.
00:08:03She hates everything I like.
00:08:05A policeman came to my house this morning.
00:08:07He asked me if I had any idea of where you could have gone.
00:08:11My father said it was my duty to tell them.
00:08:14Your father.
00:08:15I didn't say a thing.
00:08:17No matter what my father told your aunt, I didn't say a thing.
00:08:21I'm cold. I've got to change my clothes.
00:08:23I'll leave the door open so I can hear you.
00:08:27My father says you're foolish.
00:08:29My father says that someday you'll have everything in the world.
00:08:33My father says that if we only had one little part of what you'll have,
00:08:37I could go to Harvard.
00:08:38Your what?
00:08:39I could go to Harvard.
00:08:42The lights. What happened to the lights?
00:08:44They went out. I think they went out all over the house.
00:08:47There's a candle that matches on the table near the wall.
00:08:49Oh, you stand still. I'll do it.
00:09:00Don't you think I'd better go up and see if Martha's all right?
00:09:03Martha will be all right anywhere.
00:09:05Your play.
00:09:10I'm afraid of the thunder and lightning.
00:09:12Draw the curtains. I'll go in to change.
00:09:19I'm afraid of the thunder and lightning.
00:09:21Draw the curtains. I'll go in to change.
00:09:30Martha!
00:09:39One peep out of you and I'll break your nose.
00:09:41I won't say anything. Martha!
00:09:43Martha, I'll tell you I won't say anything.
00:09:45What is it?
00:09:47Sam!
00:09:49You see, Walter, I told you they'd never catch him.
00:09:51Sam buttoned me up.
00:09:53I came to say goodbye.
00:09:54I thought it over, Martha. It's better for you here.
00:09:56I won't stay here. I hate her.
00:09:58All you got to do is play smart with her.
00:10:00I'm going with you.
00:10:01Now you listen to me.
00:10:02I don't want to listen.
00:10:03It's late. I got to go.
00:10:05Let him go, Martha.
00:10:06If he's caught here, he'll be sent to reform school.
00:10:08Mrs. Ivers said so.
00:10:09They got to catch me first.
00:10:11All right, Sam.
00:10:13If you won't take me, I'll go without you.
00:10:15I'll go off by myself.
00:10:20Okay, then let's go.
00:10:22I want to run up to the attic. I want to get a cup of coffee.
00:10:24Let's go.
00:10:25I want to run up to the attic. I want to get a couple of things.
00:10:36Sam! Quick, Sam!
00:10:39Sam, buttons. She's going downstairs.
00:10:42Sam, my ant!
00:10:43I'll get her.
00:10:55Hey, get it, get it, get it, get it.
00:11:07Sam, have you got it?
00:11:09Have you got it, Sam?
00:11:14Hurry, Sam, or that old witch will catch us.
00:11:25Sam!
00:11:27Sam!
00:11:30Sam!
00:11:35Sam!
00:11:37Sam!
00:11:39Sam!
00:11:43Sam!
00:11:45Sam!
00:11:47Sam!
00:11:49Sam!
00:11:51Sam!
00:11:54Sam!
00:12:25Sam!
00:12:43She's dead.
00:12:45We were upstairs.
00:12:47We heard a noise and we came down.
00:12:50We saw a man, a big man.
00:12:52He was leaving.
00:12:53Out of that front door he left. See, it's open.
00:12:57And she was lying there.
00:13:03And this, this was lying there too.
00:13:06I picked it up.
00:13:12Isn't that true, Walter?
00:13:14Isn't it?
00:13:17Is it, Mother?
00:13:20Yes, Father, it is.
00:13:24Put it down.
00:13:26Put it exactly where you found it.
00:13:35Both of you better go upstairs.
00:13:38I'll phone the police.
00:13:54You'll never get away with it, never.
00:13:56Your father believes me.
00:13:57I don't know, I'm not sure.
00:13:59Then keep your mouth shut.
00:14:00But Sam, what about Sam?
00:14:01He was in the house, he saw it.
00:14:02Sam will never tell.
00:14:04Yes, he will, he's scared.
00:14:05That's why he ran away after it happened.
00:14:06Sam will never tell.
00:14:07Sam's scared.
00:14:08He ran away, I didn't, I stayed.
00:14:10No, no, he won't.
00:14:11Not Sam, not Sam!
00:14:24I want to talk to you both.
00:14:27Sit down.
00:14:34Now, when the police come,
00:14:36you will tell them exactly what you told me.
00:14:40Do you understand, Mother?
00:14:42Yes, Mr. O'Neil.
00:14:44And you too, Walter?
00:14:45Yes, Father.
00:14:51You poor child.
00:14:54You'll be all alone in the world now.
00:14:57Except for Walter and myself.
00:15:01But you needn't be afraid.
00:15:03We'll always be with you, Walter and I.
00:15:06We'll never leave you.
00:15:08Thank you, Mr. O'Neil.
00:15:23THE FOURTH DAY
00:15:45This is the competition at the fairgrounds last week.
00:15:48In the handicap, Chestnut King looks like an odds-on favorite.
00:15:51That guy doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:15:53Chestnut King is a dog.
00:15:55He was losing races to cow ponies years ago in Tijuana.
00:16:01Oh, what do you know?
00:16:02What do you know about that?
00:16:04How do you like that, sailor?
00:16:06Leave a place when you're a kid,
00:16:08maybe 17, 18 years ago, and you forget all about it,
00:16:11and all of a sudden you're driving along
00:16:12and smack all your own hometown up
00:16:14and hit you right in the face.
00:16:24THE FIFTH DAY
00:16:35End of the line, sailor. Come on, wake up.
00:16:39Where are we?
00:16:40In a small accident.
00:16:42What happened?
00:16:44The road curved, but I didn't.
00:16:46Come on, I've got to put in to Iverstown for repairs.
00:16:54Next time, I pick me a guy that don't fall asleep.
00:17:00Welcome to Iverstown.
00:17:02Well, maybe this time they mean it.
00:17:10We got anybody here to fix this wreck, mister?
00:17:13Roll her in.
00:17:16Ten more, you don't make a dent.
00:17:18Five more, you do that.
00:17:20Five to you. Shoot.
00:17:24Ten more, you don't make it.
00:17:35How long will it take, Pop?
00:17:37Can't tell till we look her over.
00:17:39Come back tomorrow.
00:17:41Open game?
00:17:42Nope.
00:17:43Five more, you do that.
00:17:48Four.
00:17:49Right back, little Joe.
00:17:50Twenty to ten, no four.
00:17:51You got a bet. Come on, Harry, make four.
00:17:54Seven.
00:17:55Your show, Joe.
00:17:56Thanks. Shootin' twenty.
00:17:58Got it.
00:18:00Ten more, you don't make it.
00:18:02Ten I do.
00:18:05How much will it cost, Pop?
00:18:07Won't know till it's done.
00:18:09Ain't no luck, I want to know now.
00:18:11Take it someplace else.
00:18:14Welcome to Iverstown.
00:18:16We interrupt this program of dinner music to bring you a special broadcast
00:18:19in the interest of the re-election of District Attorney Walter P. O'Neil.
00:18:22Hey, no, leave that on, will you, Pop?
00:18:24Ladies and gentlemen, it is with deep regret that we are forced to announce
00:18:27that Mr. O'Neil will not be able to address this citizens' forum tonight.
00:18:30Mr. O'Neil was suddenly taken ill,
00:18:32but we are fortunate to have the best-loved civic figure of Iverstown,
00:18:35the gracious Mrs. O'Neil, here in the studio tonight to speak for him.
00:18:39Citizens of Iverstown, the issues in this election are simple.
00:18:44That's enough of that malarkey.
00:18:45Say, this Walter P. O'Neil, isn't that the kid that used to live on Sycamore Street?
00:18:50His father used to be a school teacher?
00:18:52Yeah, that's him. You know him?
00:18:54Yeah, I used to.
00:18:56A little scared kid on Sycamore Street,
00:18:58and now he's running for the District Attorney.
00:19:00What's the odds?
00:19:02On what?
00:19:04The election.
00:19:06No odds, no takers.
00:19:08This is a sure bet, mister.
00:19:10Gonna be re-elected, gonna be governor.
00:19:11And I'm making book right now that someday he'll run for president.
00:19:15Yep.
00:19:17Gonna be whatever his wife wants him to be.
00:19:19Some gal.
00:19:21Who'd he marry?
00:19:23You from this town?
00:19:25Used to be.
00:19:27You ought to know her then. Old Lady Ivers' niece.
00:19:29Martha Ivers?
00:19:31Yep.
00:19:33Came into the whole works after the old lady died.
00:19:35Well, what do you know?
00:19:37What do you know about that Martha Ivers?
00:19:39I don't know.
00:19:41You still look like a scared little kid to me.
00:19:47Hello, Gallagher.
00:19:49Hey, wait a minute.
00:19:51Do I know you?
00:19:53Sure.
00:19:55I'm the guy who tossed a rock through that window once.
00:19:57And you're the guy who chased me.
00:19:59If I chased you, I'll bet I caught you.
00:20:01I'm the guy who caught you.
00:20:03I'm the guy who caught you.
00:20:05I'm the guy who caught you.
00:20:06I'll bet I caught you.
00:20:10Come to think of it, I believe you did.
00:20:36Hello.
00:20:38Hello.
00:20:41Do you live here?
00:20:43Used to.
00:20:45Who runs this place?
00:20:47Lady, the name of Mrs. Burke.
00:20:49She's not home.
00:20:51I don't know her.
00:20:53I don't know her.
00:20:55I don't know her.
00:20:57I don't know her.
00:20:59I don't know her.
00:21:01I don't know her.
00:21:03I don't know her.
00:21:04Lady, the name of Mrs. Burke.
00:21:06She's not home.
00:21:07You waiting for her?
00:21:09Just came back to get my things.
00:21:12I've been away for a while.
00:21:15I'm waiting for a taxi.
00:21:17I used to live here in this house.
00:21:1917, 18 years ago.
00:21:22I was born here.
00:21:24Don't kid me, you're older than that.
00:21:26Well, I didn't move right after I was born.
00:21:29Got one to spare?
00:21:30Got some more matches.
00:21:32I didn't have these.
00:21:36Got the time?
00:21:39Yeah, it's a quarter after 11.
00:21:41Now, ain't that just dandy?
00:21:43And I've got an 11.30 bus to catch.
00:21:45You can still make it.
00:21:47Not if the taxi doesn't show up fast.
00:21:49You know anybody who lives around here
00:21:51by the name of Masterson?
00:21:53No.
00:21:55Know anybody in town at all by that name?
00:21:57No, I'm from Ridgeville.
00:21:58Is your name Masterson?
00:22:01Mm, yeah.
00:22:03You mean, you're just getting home after 18 years?
00:22:06Well, 17 or 18.
00:22:09You're just getting around to looking up your people.
00:22:11No, not exactly.
00:22:13I just happened to be driving through on my way west
00:22:16and got more or less curious, that's all.
00:22:20Well, good luck.
00:22:24What you gonna do?
00:22:25What do you mean?
00:22:27I mean about your people.
00:22:29Well, I don't know.
00:22:31Maybe nothing.
00:22:33Maybe tomorrow I'll go down to the courthouse
00:22:35and look up the deaths in the last 18 years.
00:22:37Can you do that?
00:22:40Yeah, I think so.
00:22:43Good night.
00:22:44Good night.
00:22:59The bus terminal.
00:23:01Please hurry, I've got an 11.30 bus to catch.
00:23:09Masterson!
00:23:15I thought it was you, Mr. Masterson.
00:23:17Well, I'm glad to see you again.
00:23:19I gave you my last match.
00:23:21Want to lift any place on the way to the bus station?
00:23:23You talked me into it.
00:23:29You got my matches.
00:23:31Got a name?
00:23:33Tony. Antonia.
00:23:35Antonia Marachek.
00:23:37Ain't that a dilly, Mr. Masterson?
00:23:39Sam.
00:23:45Please hurry.
00:23:47The depot's just across the tracks.
00:23:49You've still got four minutes.
00:23:53You'd have made it if you didn't stop to pick up your jam.
00:23:56Might be able to chase it.
00:23:58I can get a bus back to Ridgeville tomorrow.
00:24:01Maybe I won't get a bus back to Ridgeville.
00:24:04Maybe I'll go someplace else.
00:24:07Maybe in another direction.
00:24:09Chicago or further west, maybe.
00:24:10Have you ever been out west before?
00:24:12No.
00:24:14I've never.
00:24:16Maybe I will.
00:24:20What's it like?
00:24:23Big.
00:24:41Honey, you want to go back?
00:24:43I can't go back there.
00:24:45I'll have to go someplace else.
00:24:48Do you drink, Sam?
00:24:50Yes, I drink.
00:24:52I'll buy you one.
00:24:54Okay.
00:24:57Too bad.
00:24:59Do you want me to check your bag in the station here?
00:25:01I don't know.
00:25:03I guess I wanted it a whole lot better.
00:25:05I don't know.
00:25:07I don't know.
00:25:08I guess I want it at a hotel.
00:25:10You want me to take you there?
00:25:12Do you happen to be at the Gable Hotel?
00:25:14Yeah.
00:25:16Can I go there?
00:25:18It's a public place.
00:25:20Yeah.
00:25:22Tell the clerk that Sam Masterson wants a room for a young lady.
00:25:24She'll register when she gets there.
00:25:26Yes, sir.
00:25:28Thanks.
00:25:38Quiet, see?
00:25:40Blue lights, music, everything.
00:25:43A cafe.
00:25:46When I lived in this town, there were nothing but saloons.
00:25:49My father used to live in them.
00:25:51Mine, too.
00:25:53We're related.
00:25:55I'll have the same thing you have, if you don't mind.
00:25:57Scotch.
00:25:59I take a plain water chaser with that when the scotch isn't so good.
00:26:02Two water chasers.
00:26:05Did you drive far?
00:26:06About 600 miles since this morning.
00:26:10You aren't driving anything tonight?
00:26:12My Stanley steamer's in the garage, having her facelifted.
00:26:17Better bring us a couple more before curfew.
00:26:19As well.
00:26:21That'll be $2.
00:26:23On me.
00:26:25Oh, thanks.
00:26:27Maybe you'd like to drink to finding your people.
00:26:30My mother wouldn't approve of that.
00:26:32How would you know, after all this time?
00:26:34After all this time, you probably wouldn't care.
00:26:37One way or the other.
00:26:39You talk awful cold-blooded about them, don't you?
00:26:42That's life.
00:26:44Is it a big family?
00:26:46No, it wasn't.
00:26:48Besides me, they're just the usual two people necessary to increase the population.
00:26:51Mother left when I was a baby, and my father...
00:26:55Probably drank himself to death by now.
00:26:58Another man I know talks cold like that's my dad.
00:27:00He's the most cold-blooded man in Ridgeville.
00:27:04Once he kicked me.
00:27:06Jit made me sick.
00:27:08I can guess why you didn't break your neck to catch that bus back to Ridgeville tonight.
00:27:12I probably would've got on and got off before it started out.
00:27:16I would've got the jitters the minute I got on.
00:27:21Anyway, it's gone now for tonight anyhow.
00:27:24There won't be another one until tomorrow night.
00:27:26And now I know for sure I'm not gonna make that one either.
00:27:30Not the one to Ridgeville at least.
00:27:35But I'm so glad you came to have a drink with me tonight.
00:27:38I was so lonesome, I...
00:27:40I'd like to have died.
00:27:42Have you ever been that lonesome?
00:27:44How lonesome is that?
00:27:46About as much as you can hold without busting open.
00:27:49Want to know how I got that way?
00:27:51I don't know.
00:27:52Bustin' open?
00:27:54Want to know how I got that way?
00:27:57Curfew.
00:27:59Shall we go home?
00:28:01The reason I picked the hotel...
00:28:03Your hotel is really very...
00:28:05You read the hotel advertising on that when you had it.
00:28:09You're smart.
00:28:11Maybe you think I've been trying too hard to get acquainted.
00:28:14Maybe you have.
00:28:16Maybe you think that's wrong.
00:28:18Maybe it's too soon to tell.
00:28:20I wonder what you're thinking.
00:28:22Don't take up too much room in my Stanley steamer.
00:28:25Maybe you're all right.
00:28:27You think you can hold that thought all the way to the coast?
00:28:37We better wait here for a minute.
00:28:41Hey, I want to ask you something.
00:28:43Does that guy look like a scared little boy to you?
00:28:46He looks like he's gonna cry any minute.
00:28:49Let's get away from here.
00:28:52Let's go.
00:29:01Is Mr. O'Neil in?
00:29:03No, madam, not to my knowledge.
00:29:23Walter.
00:29:27Hello.
00:29:36No words?
00:29:39Have a cigarette.
00:29:45My lady's lips.
00:29:47I'll ring for some coffee for you.
00:29:49No, thank you. I'll have another drink.
00:29:50Walter.
00:29:52If there's to be a discussion, I'll need another drink.
00:29:56Otherwise, I shall neither hear nor be coherent
00:29:59when and if I reply to whatever it is you're about to say.
00:30:03Did you forget that you were supposed to speak tonight?
00:30:06I didn't forget.
00:30:09It's nice.
00:30:11Your room, I mean.
00:30:13It's been a long time since I've been here.
00:30:16Where were you?
00:30:18Getting drunk.
00:30:20Where?
00:30:22I'm still the people's choice.
00:30:24I did not make a public display of myself anywhere.
00:30:27You realize, of course, that you will one day, inevitably.
00:30:30Inevitably.
00:30:32It's your career, not mine.
00:30:34What's mine is yours.
00:30:36Don't you think I'm entitled to an explanation?
00:30:38What do you want me to say?
00:30:40I don't want to put words in your mouth.
00:30:42I'd prefer that you would.
00:30:44All right. When did you get drunk? Where did you get drunk?
00:30:46Why did you get drunk?
00:30:48Don't stand over me like that.
00:30:52I'm a sentimental man, Martha.
00:30:55I started to get dressed and
00:30:58then I realized it was the fourth anniversary of my father's death.
00:31:03I thought it would be nice if I went to the cemetery
00:31:06and laid a wreath of flowers on his grave.
00:31:09However, I never got there.
00:31:12Sentiment overwhelmed me.
00:31:15I stopped off to have a drink.
00:31:17To his sacred memory.
00:31:20As I drank, I thought to myself,
00:31:22it's such a pity that my father isn't alive.
00:31:25To be able to see for himself all his dreams come true.
00:31:30The dreams he worked so hard for.
00:31:34His son, a famous man.
00:31:39Married to a beautiful and wealthy woman.
00:31:44All right. Now tell me why you got drunk.
00:31:47Because I couldn't get up and speak before people.
00:31:54Walter, listen to me. What's done is done.
00:31:57The deed's done, not the thought.
00:31:59You've got a life to live.
00:32:01I don't know. I'm not sure.
00:32:03A brilliant career.
00:32:05My father always said that.
00:32:07Your father was right.
00:32:09He was never right about anything.
00:32:11From the day he walked in and found your aunt on the floor.
00:32:13I told you I never want that mentioned.
00:32:15The day he sat beside you in the courtroom
00:32:17and said that the state take the life of a man
00:32:19for the brutal murder of Mrs. Iverson.
00:32:21My father said nothing.
00:32:23I looked at him, but he said nothing.
00:32:25Your father was a realistic man.
00:32:28My father, may he rest in peace, was a greedy man.
00:32:32The man they executed was a criminal.
00:32:34If he hadn't hanged for that,
00:32:36he would have hanged for something else.
00:32:38A man was a man, and justice is justice.
00:32:41That's the way it is.
00:32:43I can't get up and speak before people.
00:32:44The words tick in my throat.
00:32:48I'd rather get drunk.
00:32:50I do get drunk.
00:32:54I did get drunk.
00:32:57Walter, dear, listen to me.
00:32:59If you carry a thing in your mind that makes you sick,
00:33:02I want you well.
00:33:04Tomorrow...
00:33:06It'll be like today.
00:33:08You will leave on a trip for your health for a few weeks.
00:33:09Will you go with me?
00:33:11No.
00:33:13I'll stay here.
00:33:17Then I'll stay here, too.
00:33:19What do you want to do, give everything up?
00:33:21Is that what you want to do?
00:33:23You wouldn't let me do that, would you, Martha?
00:33:25Do you want to?
00:33:27I don't know, Martha.
00:33:29I ask myself that question all the time.
00:33:32If my father were alive, I could ask him.
00:33:35Only I know what his answer would be.
00:33:36He'd say to me, keep what you have
00:33:40and make her live up to it.
00:33:43Make her live up to her bargain.
00:33:45That's what he'd say.
00:33:47I am living up to it, Walter.
00:34:07There's another drink left.
00:34:09Might as well have it.
00:34:20The bottle's empty now.
00:34:25Good night, Martha.
00:34:37Tell me, Martha, what shall I do about my love for you?
00:34:40Tell me, Martha, why I don't abandon all this?
00:34:44Why I don't just throw it back in your face?
00:34:47You tell me, Walter.
00:35:07Well, this is it.
00:35:09Not good, not bad.
00:35:11With bath?
00:35:13With bath.
00:35:15And come out, come out, wherever you are.
00:35:17With bath, eh?
00:35:19There's half as many baths as there is rooms.
00:35:21Half the rooms has baths and half hasn't.
00:35:23That's one way of looking at it.
00:35:25Another is, for each two rooms,
00:35:27one has a bath in the middle and the other hasn't.
00:35:29Or, you might say,
00:35:31there's a half a bath in the middle
00:35:33and a half a bath in the middle.
00:35:34Or, you might say,
00:35:36there's a half a bath to each of two rooms.
00:35:38How is that again?
00:35:40There's half as many baths as there is rooms
00:35:42and if the two...
00:35:44I've already sent the boy with those bags
00:35:46up to your room, Mr. Masterson.
00:35:48Oh, well, they belong to Miss Marachek here.
00:35:50They came in my name because she wasn't registered yet.
00:35:53I, uh, I missed my bus to Ridgeville.
00:35:55Oh, that's too bad.
00:36:02The boy went off at 12.
00:36:04You can keep them for yourselves.
00:36:06I can't leave the board.
00:36:08Thanks.
00:36:10Good night.
00:36:12Sweet dreams.
00:36:14Good night, Cupid.
00:36:1625, your room number's 25, I'm 23.
00:36:18Makes us neighbors.
00:36:31Why did you buy a ticket to Ridgeville
00:36:32if you didn't want to go back home?
00:36:34I didn't.
00:36:36I didn't buy the ticket.
00:36:38I got it, but I didn't buy it.
00:36:47You all right?
00:36:50I'm a little cold, maybe.
00:36:52Better get out of those wet clothes.
00:36:59I've started your bath for you.
00:37:00Hurry up now, I'm next.
00:37:02Thanks.
00:37:31Okay?
00:37:38I'll loan you a book for a couple of cigarettes,
00:37:40if you don't mind what kind of a book it is.
00:37:47That pine soap makes you tingle all over.
00:37:50There's something very personal about soap.
00:37:52It's almost as personal as a toothbrush.
00:37:55I won't use your toothbrush.
00:37:57Where's your book now?
00:37:58You don't care what kind of a book it is?
00:38:00The suspense is killing me.
00:38:02It isn't my book.
00:38:04Somebody here before forgotten left it.
00:38:08I warned you.
00:38:15There's one in every room of the hotel.
00:38:18There's one in practically every room
00:38:20of every hotel in the world.
00:38:22It tells all about it there in the first page or so.
00:38:29Well, what do you know?
00:38:32No, no, no, no, don't get up.
00:38:37I want to look at you a minute.
00:38:41That's really a picture.
00:38:44Throw me a match.
00:38:48So you're leaving tomorrow?
00:38:50Yeah, we're leaving tomorrow.
00:38:52That is, if the car is fixed.
00:38:54I'm going to be late.
00:38:55No, we're leaving tomorrow.
00:38:57That is, if the car is fixed.
00:38:59You sure you won't mind me being a passenger?
00:39:01No, no.
00:39:03That or the company.
00:39:05Are you going to stay in the West?
00:39:07Maybe, maybe not.
00:39:10You might get lonesome again.
00:39:12I've been lonesome before.
00:39:14I was so lonesome tonight, I'd like to have died.
00:39:16I know you mentioned that.
00:39:18But I tried to tell you why.
00:39:20Look, I'm going to take a shower.
00:39:22I just got out of jail.
00:39:26I just got out tonight.
00:39:30Like I said, we leave tomorrow.
00:39:41I think you'll like that.
00:39:55I think you'll like that.
00:40:25I think you'll like that.
00:40:55I think you'll like that.
00:41:25Open up, Sonny.
00:41:55Try that door.
00:42:26Good morning, Mr. Masterson.
00:42:29You don't have to show me who you are.
00:42:31I can tell by the smell.
00:42:33My nose isn't that big.
00:42:35I want to see it.
00:42:42The chief sent us up here to ask you a couple of questions.
00:42:46Sergeant Masterson.
00:42:48The suspense is killing me.
00:42:50What do you want to know?
00:42:52You've been around.
00:42:53Look at that.
00:42:55Africa, Anzio, and Normandy.
00:42:57Why don't you wear that button in your coat?
00:42:59The same reason you don't wear your badge.
00:43:01I like it incognito.
00:43:03Now, what else do you want to know?
00:43:05What we wanted to know, this layout told us.
00:43:07There ain't nothing you can add to it.
00:43:17She didn't get in an accident, did she?
00:43:19She's in the can for a nice long stretch.
00:43:21What stretch?
00:43:23What's the charge?
00:43:24Violation of probation.
00:43:25Probation for what?
00:43:26Theft.
00:43:28Terms of her probation when she was released yesterday
00:43:30was that she returned to her home in Ridgeville.
00:43:32An hour ago, we picked her up at the depot
00:43:34when she tried to cash the ticket.
00:43:36Well, maybe she wanted to go by train.
00:43:38Maybe she wanted to walk.
00:43:39There's no law that says she...
00:43:40That's not the reason she gave, wise guy.
00:43:42No?
00:43:43No.
00:43:44The reason she gave was that she got a job.
00:43:46Said you were her employer.
00:43:48Well, what's wrong with that?
00:43:50Nothing, if you can prove it.
00:43:51Take a tip from me, bud, don't try it.
00:43:53Jake and me don't like to waste our time
00:43:55testifying in court.
00:43:57But we will.
00:43:59So long.
00:44:03Exhibit eight, bud.
00:44:04In case you get stubborn.
00:44:06Hey, now, wait a minute, copper.
00:44:09All right, leave her things alone.
00:44:11You want to come along, soldier?
00:44:22A little scared boy.
00:44:26You're just about to do your old pal
00:44:28a great big favor.
00:44:40How do you like the way the election's going,
00:44:42this beautiful morning?
00:44:44I like it.
00:44:46I like it.
00:44:48I like it.
00:44:49How do you like the way the election's going,
00:44:51this beautiful morning?
00:44:52The election's going good every morning.
00:44:54Look, honey,
00:44:57Miss...
00:44:58St. John.
00:44:59St. John.
00:45:00Bobby.
00:45:01Better still.
00:45:02What can I do for you?
00:45:03In?
00:45:05In, but not yet ready to face the world.
00:45:08Won't you sit down?
00:45:10Look, honey, I'm in kind of a hurry.
00:45:12Would you take a note in for me?
00:45:14When he buzzes.
00:45:17Here.
00:45:20Update calls now.
00:45:32I'm in.
00:45:34There's a gentleman to see you.
00:45:36He says it's very important.
00:45:40Tell him I don't want to.
00:45:42Wait a minute.
00:45:46Never mind, I'll tell him myself.
00:45:48Never mind, I'll tell him myself.
00:45:57Sammy.
00:45:58Sammy Masterson.
00:46:00My little Walter O'Neil.
00:46:02We were kids together, Miss St. John.
00:46:04I wouldn't have known you, Sam.
00:46:06I wouldn't have known you either, Walter O'Neil.
00:46:07I saw your picture.
00:46:08My picture?
00:46:09Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:46:11I don't want to be disturbed unless it's very important.
00:46:13Yes, Mr. O'Neil.
00:46:18How long has it been?
00:46:20Oh, 17, 18 years, something like that.
00:46:23That long?
00:46:24We were just kids, you remember?
00:46:26The three of us?
00:46:27Yeah.
00:46:28The three of us.
00:46:30Thanks.
00:46:31What's she like, Walter?
00:46:33Beautiful.
00:46:34I married her.
00:46:35I know, I know.
00:46:36You've done all right.
00:46:37I guess so.
00:46:39And you, what have you done?
00:46:41Knocked around, seen a lot, I guess.
00:46:43You know.
00:46:44Had some fun, maybe.
00:46:45What have you done mostly?
00:46:47Lately or mostly?
00:46:48Mostly.
00:46:49Gamble.
00:46:51You mean, gamble?
00:46:53Sure, sure.
00:46:54That's my business.
00:46:55Perhaps this is where I should remark that all life is a gamble.
00:46:59You don't need to bother.
00:47:00I know it.
00:47:01Some win, some don't.
00:47:02You needn't have made that point.
00:47:05I'm sorry, Sam.
00:47:06This has been a stuffy conversation.
00:47:08I, uh...
00:47:09Oh, would you like a drink?
00:47:11Isn't it a little early in the morning?
00:47:12I haven't even stopped for breakfast yet.
00:47:14The occasion.
00:47:17You talked me into it.
00:47:18Fine, fine.
00:47:20Nice of you to look me up, Sam.
00:47:22Well, I wouldn't have bothered you, Walter.
00:47:23Only, um...
00:47:25I met a girl and you can help.
00:47:28You don't look like you need help with any girl.
00:47:31Now, this trip out I do.
00:47:32This kid's in jail.
00:47:35What's the charge?
00:47:36Violation of probation.
00:47:37Name is Tony Merritt.
00:47:38That's not easy to square, Sam.
00:47:40Oh, you can do it.
00:47:41And you will.
00:47:44For old times' sake.
00:47:46For old times' sake.
00:47:48Thanks.
00:47:52Excuse me.
00:47:58Mrs. O'Neil is here to see you.
00:48:00Please have her wait.
00:48:02She usually drops in on her way out.
00:48:04Oh, I'd like to see her.
00:48:08Have Mrs. O'Neil come in.
00:48:10Yes, sir.
00:48:15Oh, I'm sorry.
00:48:16I didn't know you were busy.
00:48:17I'll wait.
00:48:18Hello.
00:48:19Hello.
00:48:20The name is Masterson.
00:48:21Sam Masterson.
00:48:23I'm sorry.
00:48:24I...
00:48:25Sammy Masterson.
00:48:27Oh!
00:48:28Oh!
00:48:30Hello.
00:48:31Well, I'll do that again.
00:48:32Hello.
00:48:34You should have called me.
00:48:36You just came in.
00:48:38Well, you've grown to be a big boy, Sam.
00:48:41Well, I always was big for my age.
00:48:42You remember?
00:48:44Well, I'm a big boy.
00:48:46I'm a big boy.
00:48:48I'm a big boy.
00:48:50I'm a big boy.
00:48:51I'm a big boy.
00:48:52I'm a big boy.
00:48:53Well, you were big for my age.
00:48:54You remember?
00:48:56Yes, I remember.
00:48:57Anything else you remember?
00:48:59Oh, well, there are...
00:49:01There are lots of things.
00:49:03I never figured that a skinny little mutt
00:49:05would grow up so beautiful.
00:49:07I thank you for my wife.
00:49:09That sounds funny.
00:49:11What does?
00:49:13Well, you're saying my wife.
00:49:15Does it?
00:49:17Oh, now, don't get so water.
00:49:19I mean, well, I've always thought of Martha as...
00:49:21Well, you know how it is.
00:49:22You keep something in your mind
00:49:23since the time you were a kid.
00:49:25How long are you staying, Sam?
00:49:27Well, that all depends on our district attorney.
00:49:29Oh?
00:49:31Yeah, I may have to pull out in a couple of hours.
00:49:33Oh, that's too bad.
00:49:35It's the way things are, you know.
00:49:40I don't want to be disturbed.
00:49:42Well, that's all right, Walter.
00:49:43You're a busy man, so I'll blow.
00:49:45And, uh, thanks.
00:49:46Thanks for everything.
00:49:49So long, Martha.
00:49:51Aren't you glad now you missed that circus train?
00:49:54I don't know.
00:49:56Where can I reach you, Sam?
00:49:58Oh, the, uh, Gable Hotel.
00:50:00And you will do that for me, won't you, Walter?
00:50:02I'll try my best.
00:50:04You do that.
00:50:05And here's hoping you win that election.
00:50:07Thanks.
00:50:08I will.
00:50:09What, sure thing?
00:50:11Ask Martha.
00:50:13Sure. Sure thing.
00:50:15What odds you give it?
00:50:17A sure thing is never a gamble.
00:50:18You know, what odds will you give that that's a fact?
00:50:36Breezy character, Sam.
00:50:38Thank you.
00:50:39Very sure of himself.
00:50:41He always was.
00:50:43This is the first time I've ever seen you off balance.
00:50:45I wasn't aware of it.
00:50:47I was.
00:50:49It came as a shock.
00:50:51Yes, it did.
00:50:53To me, too.
00:50:55Sam will never tell.
00:50:57I'll never forget you saying that.
00:50:59What makes you think he will?
00:51:01What makes you think he won't?
00:51:04How long has he been here?
00:51:06He came in last night.
00:51:08Did he tell you much about himself, where he's been,
00:51:10what he's been doing?
00:51:12I thought you'd ask what he wanted.
00:51:14What does he want?
00:51:16He's playing it smart.
00:51:19Sam was always a smart boy.
00:51:21All he wanted was for me to get his girl out of jail.
00:51:25His girl?
00:51:27That's what he said he wanted.
00:51:29What do you think he wants?
00:51:31What he can get.
00:51:33He's a gambler, a sharpshooter, an angle boy.
00:51:35They come through my office by the hundreds.
00:51:37Couldn't you see blackmail in his eyes?
00:51:40I haven't your experience with criminals.
00:51:42You will.
00:51:44What if he starts to shake you down?
00:51:46Release the girl.
00:51:48Maybe he'll just pick her up and leave.
00:51:50Leave?
00:51:52Do you think he'll leave a touch worth millions?
00:51:54There's only one way you'll find out.
00:51:56Release the girl.
00:51:58Goodbye, Miss St. John.
00:52:03Yes, Mr. O'Neil?
00:52:05I want a routine check on a Samuel Masterson,
00:52:07non-resident, registered Gable Hotel.
00:52:09Miss St. John, close the door.
00:52:11I want a routine check of all garages.
00:52:12I want a check on all local banks.
00:52:14Get Detective McCarthy and tell him to come right over.
00:52:32I thought I might improve my mind while I waited.
00:52:35Pasmo's life of Jones?
00:52:37Surely you didn't expect to wait that long.
00:52:39I was just going to look at the pictures.
00:52:40I found your message when I got back to the hotel.
00:52:43I asked you to phone.
00:52:45I figured you wouldn't mind if I came in person.
00:52:48I figured you would.
00:52:50Why?
00:52:52You impressed me this morning as a man who would bet on anything.
00:52:54Almost anything, depending on the odds.
00:52:56I bet you'd like to hear the story of my life.
00:52:58What do you bet?
00:53:00My story against yours.
00:53:02You got a bet.
00:53:04Well, let's see.
00:53:06You left here September 27, 1928.
00:53:08We'll start from there.
00:53:10The exact date?
00:53:12How come that's so clear in your mind?
00:53:14Why shouldn't it be?
00:53:17You know, I used to think this was the swellest spot in the world.
00:53:20But you really made it just that.
00:53:22It used to be so dark and ugly when she...
00:53:25I hate it.
00:53:30Come on, I'll show you what I've done with the rest of the house.
00:53:33Okay, fine.
00:53:35I haven't been on a rubberneck tour in years.
00:53:37Soon after my aunt died, the executors of the estate
00:53:38wanted to close the house and send me to school.
00:53:40But Mr. O'Neil...
00:53:42Mister?
00:53:44You're kind of formal about your husband, aren't you?
00:53:46Oh, no, I was speaking about his father.
00:53:48Mr. O'Neil was my tutor. You remember him.
00:53:50Oh, yeah.
00:53:52After my aunt died, he and Walter lived here.
00:53:54That was cozy.
00:53:56This is Walter's room.
00:53:58Rich.
00:54:00Very rich.
00:54:03Well, you, uh...
00:54:05You lived here all the time then, huh?
00:54:06Except for the few years I went to college.
00:54:08Mr. O'Neil... Walter's father.
00:54:10Walter's father thought it would be good for me
00:54:12to get away for a while.
00:54:14Mr. O'Neil, uh, Walter's father.
00:54:16He sort of took care of everything, didn't he?
00:54:18Yes.
00:54:20Yes, he took care of everything.
00:54:22You didn't like that?
00:54:24Let's talk about something else.
00:54:26What do you want to talk about?
00:54:28Pick a subject.
00:54:30This is the dining room.
00:54:32Isn't it kind of crowded?
00:54:34All right.
00:54:36When did you marry him?
00:54:38When or why?
00:54:40Now, ask when.
00:54:42When I finished school.
00:54:44All right. Now, why did you marry him?
00:54:46Pick another subject.
00:54:48It's your turn.
00:54:50You.
00:54:52An open book.
00:54:54I went out of this town with the circus,
00:54:56the one you were supposed to go with.
00:54:58Made friends with the animals and lived happily ever after.
00:55:00Almost.
00:55:02Almost?
00:55:03I got so I wasn't satisfied
00:55:05just being friendly with the animals,
00:55:07I got so I wanted to own the animals.
00:55:09So I bought some animals.
00:55:11Well, my lion got the mange and gave it to the monkeys.
00:55:13The animals became a responsibility and a liability.
00:55:15I lost all my hard-earned cash
00:55:17and ran like a thief out of there
00:55:19with a great yin to become friendly with people.
00:55:21On that, I had some success,
00:55:23me being a gambler and people being what they are.
00:55:25Well, that brings us up to my 21st year
00:55:28when I became a man, officially.
00:55:30How did it feel to become a man officially?
00:55:33I felt I'd been there before.
00:55:35How did you feel about becoming a woman officially?
00:55:39I felt I'd been there too.
00:55:47Well, this is the room that you...
00:55:50Do you remember, Sam?
00:55:53Do I?
00:55:55It's the only room I didn't change.
00:55:57It seems that only yesterday I came through that window.
00:56:00We were going to run away together that night.
00:56:02You do remember.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:10And it was Walter who let me in.
00:56:15I come here often, Sam.
00:56:17Little girls grow up.
00:56:19They never get through playing with dolls.
00:56:22There was a storm that night, thunder and lightning.
00:56:25I was afraid of the thunder.
00:56:27I'm afraid of thunder.
00:56:28I'm afraid of the thunder.
00:56:30Why, in the freight car that night you told me you weren't.
00:56:32I didn't want you to know.
00:56:34I wanted to be like you, never afraid of anything.
00:56:37You remember that too, don't you, Sam?
00:56:40Well, things come back to you.
00:56:42Don't say it like that, Sam.
00:56:44Not to make me feel good, but because it's true.
00:56:46All right, it's true.
00:56:48We were just a couple of kids.
00:56:50We're not kids now.
00:56:52No, Martha, we're not kids.
00:56:55No time for dreams.
00:56:56Only one dream, Sam.
00:56:58And it came true, you're here.
00:57:00So is Walter.
00:57:02About Walter and myself.
00:57:04Don't tell me.
00:57:05I want you to understand.
00:57:07I understand, Martha.
00:57:09I understood when I saw both of you together in the office.
00:57:11I watched the way he looked at you.
00:57:13I never saw a guy so nuts about anybody in my life.
00:57:15Sam, if you stay in Iverstown...
00:57:17Well, I'm not staying in Iverstown.
00:57:22All right, Sam, what do you want?
00:57:23What do I want?
00:57:25Yes, why did you come back here?
00:57:28Well, the road curved, but I didn't...
00:57:30Answer me!
00:57:32Hey, now, wait a minute.
00:57:34You sound like I have to.
00:57:36As a matter of fact, you sound just like your aunt used to.
00:57:39Don't say that to me.
00:57:41Don't ever...
00:57:43Look, baby, I won't be around long enough to repeat it.
00:57:45As soon as a certain young lady's out of your husband's clink
00:57:48and my car's out of Dempsey's alleged garage,
00:57:50I'll be out of here.
00:57:51My car's out of Dempsey's alleged garage?
00:57:53I'm headed west.
00:57:55I think you really mean that.
00:57:57Any objections?
00:57:59No.
00:58:01No objections.
00:58:03I should have known if I remembered.
00:58:05You should have known what?
00:58:07You.
00:58:09That you'd be like this.
00:58:11I'm sorry.
00:58:14Sorry that you ever left here.
00:58:21Sam.
00:58:23For old time's sake.
00:58:27Yeah.
00:58:29Sure, for old time's sake.
00:58:41Bye, Martha.
00:58:49Dempsey's garage.
00:58:52Oh, yes, Mrs. O'Neil.
00:58:54Mrs. Walter O'Neil?
00:58:56Yes, ma'am.
00:59:00Well, it was a rush job anyway,
00:59:02and I'm rushed enough as it is.
00:59:04Don't mention it.
00:59:06Glad to be of service, Mrs. O'Neil.
00:59:09You can add this to your report.
00:59:13Miss O'Neil don't like this guy to go.
00:59:16Not yet.
00:59:18All right, Dempsey, thanks.
00:59:22Drink?
00:59:24Thanks.
00:59:26There's not much to report on him locally.
00:59:28The out-of-town reports are still coming in.
00:59:30He'll have a complete file on him in a couple of hours.
00:59:32What's he look like so far?
00:59:34He's a big shot gambler.
00:59:36Broke many times, but always turns up with a new bankroll.
00:59:38The police in every state have tried to find
00:59:40the source of his money, but no dice.
00:59:42Many arrests, no convictions.
00:59:44Beat a murder rap in Frisco.
00:59:46Self-defense.
00:59:48Has a war record few can equal.
00:59:49The car in Dempsey's garage...
00:59:51The ownership certificate says he owns it.
00:59:53What's wrong with it?
00:59:55Smashed radiator.
00:59:57How long will it take to fix it?
00:59:59Well?
01:00:06Who did Dempsey get this call from?
01:00:08Didn't you check that?
01:00:10Yes, I checked it.
01:00:12And who was it?
01:00:14Mrs. O'Neil.
01:00:16That's all.
01:00:20Yes, Mr. O'Neil?
01:00:22Get me the county jail.
01:00:24I want the superintendent of the women's division.
01:00:28Yes?
01:00:30I have the county jail for you, Mr. O'Neil.
01:00:32Deputy Elizabeth Baker is on.
01:00:34Hello.
01:00:36That girl, the one I called you about before.
01:00:38Yes.
01:00:40Bring her out here at 8.
01:00:42I want to talk to her.
01:00:50Do you have time, buddy?
01:00:52Yes, it's 5 after 8.
01:00:54Thank you.
01:00:56I'm expecting my friend out in a few minutes.
01:00:58I haven't seen your face around here before.
01:01:01No, I'm a stranger here.
01:01:03You're not waiting for anyone, are you?
01:01:05No.
01:01:07She's a stranger too.
01:01:09She was out a couple of hours ago.
01:01:16You're in a lot of trouble, Mrs. Match.
01:01:17The law is very specific on violation of probation.
01:01:20It's specific about everything.
01:01:22You're serving a five-year sentence.
01:01:25So I was told once before.
01:01:27You lied when you were picked up.
01:01:29You told the police you were employed by Sam Masterson.
01:01:31You think they would have believed me if I had told the truth?
01:01:33Did you cook up that story between you?
01:01:35He had nothing to do with it.
01:01:37You're very fond of him, aren't you?
01:01:39You wouldn't want anything to happen to him.
01:01:41Does he feel the same about you?
01:01:42You wouldn't want to serve out that five-year sentence, would you?
01:01:46What are you getting at?
01:01:48Remember, five years.
01:01:50And this time you'll have to serve every day of it.
01:01:55You don't have to.
01:01:58All right, get down to it.
01:02:00What do I have to do?
01:02:02All right, get down to it.
01:02:04What do I have to do?
01:02:24Tony!
01:02:27Tony!
01:02:28Hello, sir.
01:02:30O'Neal phoned me, told me you'd be out at six.
01:02:32O'Neal?
01:02:34Yeah, sure, the district attorney. He's an old friend of mine.
01:02:36Ask him to do me a favor, and here you are.
01:02:38You're late, but free.
01:02:40There was a mix-up. They lost some papers.
01:02:42Oh, I got worried about you.
01:02:44What's the matter, kid?
01:02:46Tony.
01:02:48Look at me.
01:02:51I'd like a drink.
01:02:53Oh, you're a cincher by a dozen.
01:02:55Hey, taxi!
01:02:56I'm going to toss you a real coming-out party.
01:02:58Hey, taxi!
01:03:10Thanks.
01:03:14Spaghetti.
01:03:19Mmm, that looks wonderful.
01:03:21I think you'll like it.
01:03:27Go ahead, eat.
01:03:29I guess I'm not hungry.
01:03:31My stomach's in a knot.
01:03:33Here, this ought to help.
01:03:35I'd have died if I had to stay on in jail.
01:03:38Forget it now, you're out.
01:03:40If you'd ever been in, you'd know what I mean.
01:03:42I know what you mean.
01:03:44A couple of times last night I tried to tell you.
01:03:46Why did time?
01:03:48You wouldn't listen.
01:03:50I don't want to now.
01:03:52Oh, now you've got to. Please.
01:03:54All right, if it'll make you feel any better.
01:03:56You understand?
01:03:58One to five they gave me.
01:04:00One to five years, that is.
01:04:02That's a long joke.
01:04:04It's forever.
01:04:06I did three months before I came to trial.
01:04:08It can happen to the best of people.
01:04:10I'm not the best of people.
01:04:12I'm just Tony Marachek.
01:04:15Where'd you get the fur coat, Tony?
01:04:17The judge asked me.
01:04:19I met a guy, I told him.
01:04:21He said he was in love with me, he gave me the coat.
01:04:23A likely story, he said.
01:04:24I said, but it's true, every word of it.
01:04:26I tried to pawn it because I needed the money.
01:04:29Where's the man he has?
01:04:31I don't know.
01:04:33I said he took a powdery.
01:04:35He flew to the moon.
01:04:37You don't fly, Tony, the judge says.
01:04:40The charge is theft.
01:04:42You do one to five.
01:04:44Well, how come they gave you probation?
01:04:46First offense.
01:04:48You know what probation is.
01:04:50Yeah, sure.
01:04:51Knife sticking in your back.
01:04:58Still looking out for the cops?
01:05:00Relax, now you're free.
01:05:02I don't feel so good.
01:05:04You want me to take you back to the hotel?
01:05:06Oh, no, no, please.
01:05:08Let me sit here a while.
01:05:18Now,
01:05:19now.
01:05:23Get your coat on.
01:05:25What's the gag?
01:05:26Get your coat.
01:05:27All right, Joe.
01:05:28What's the gag?
01:05:29I was up to your hotel.
01:05:31Nice layout you got there.
01:05:33Double rooms, connecting doors and tall glasses.
01:05:35What did this guy tell you he'd give you when he picked you up?
01:05:37All right, Joe, there don't have to be any trouble for getting...
01:05:39She's my wife.
01:05:45Oh, brother, you can have her.
01:05:47In spades.
01:05:50Now, beat it.
01:05:52You too.
01:05:54I just want to make sure.
01:05:56Joe, there don't have to be no trouble.
01:05:58No, there don't have to be no trouble.
01:06:00There's got to be.
01:06:02Certain wise guys have to be taught a lesson.
01:06:04Certain wise guys...
01:06:06Where do you want it, here or outside?
01:06:08Outside will do me fine.
01:06:10There's an alley through the kitchen door.
01:06:12Sam.
01:06:14Shut up.
01:06:20Stay here.
01:06:45Okay, sister.
01:06:47You did a swell job.
01:06:49Now blow.
01:06:52Yes, sir.
01:07:19Come on.
01:07:49Come on.
01:08:19What happened to you?
01:08:21Not a thing.
01:08:23Just made up for Halloween.
01:08:49Come on.
01:09:20Go ahead, bud, you'll catch the next one.
01:09:33Cut that.
01:09:35Crime's not going to get you anywhere.
01:09:37I'll stop.
01:09:39I ought to beat it out of you.
01:09:41I think maybe I got it coming.
01:09:43Why? Why? Why?
01:09:45Last night in that restaurant I kept trying to tell you...
01:09:47Come on, get down to it.
01:09:49I went to the DA's office.
01:09:51O'Neal? His name's Walter O'Neal?
01:09:53Yeah, that's right, that's his name.
01:09:55All right, they took you to his office.
01:09:57He asked me a lot of questions, mostly about you.
01:09:59Not me.
01:10:01About you and me.
01:10:03He kept asking me if I knew why you came here.
01:10:05He asked me that a couple of times.
01:10:07What else?
01:10:09Oh, a lot of questions, I forget.
01:10:11Remember?
01:10:13My head's mixed up.
01:10:15Well, the goons, the ones who worked me over.
01:10:17They just wanted to scare you.
01:10:19They said they wouldn't hurt you.
01:10:21Much.
01:10:23No more parole, they said, if I went for it.
01:10:25I'd do the whole five, they said, if I didn't.
01:10:27I went for it.
01:10:29Go ahead and hit me, Sam, I've got it coming.
01:10:38The only thing you've got coming, kid, is a break.
01:10:42I'm going back to town.
01:10:44They don't want you here, Sam.
01:10:46I don't know what it is, but they don't want you here.
01:10:47Next time it'll be worse.
01:10:49Look, I don't like to get pushed around.
01:10:51I don't like people I like to be pushed around.
01:10:53I don't like anybody to get pushed around.
01:10:58I'm kidding.
01:11:00I'll tell you what you do.
01:11:03You grab the next bus out and I'll meet you wherever you say.
01:11:08I'll go back with you.
01:11:12Good.
01:11:14I wanted you to say that.
01:11:15I wanted you to say that.
01:11:27Just a moment, sir.
01:11:29Take me to Mr. O'Neil and you won't get hurt.
01:11:31Yes, Mr. Matheson.
01:11:33I hardly recognize you, sir.
01:11:38Tell your man to ask Martha to come down here.
01:11:41Tell Mrs. O'Neil that, John.
01:11:46I thought we ought to have a little talk.
01:11:49We'll kick off first.
01:11:51Your team or mine.
01:11:53You look terrible, Sam.
01:11:55Have a drink.
01:11:57Thanks.
01:12:16Oh!
01:12:36A report on Sam Masterson.
01:12:46Here.
01:12:48Take this.
01:12:50I'm two up on you.
01:12:52Thanks.
01:12:54You're out of shape, Walter.
01:12:56For a minute there I thought you were dead.
01:12:58I was.
01:13:01I wasn't going to shoot.
01:13:03I wasn't going to wait and see.
01:13:05Come on.
01:13:09I took a gander at this while you were out.
01:13:12I could have given you a much more detailed picture on Sam Masterson.
01:13:16I didn't know you cared.
01:13:19You know it now.
01:13:22Now I'll let Martha give it to you.
01:13:24Give him what, Sam?
01:13:26The facts concerning a guy called Sam Masterson
01:13:29and his attitudes towards life and love.
01:13:31Walter's got the wrong ideas.
01:13:33Sam, you're hurt.
01:13:35You ought to see the other guy.
01:13:37What happened?
01:13:39This.
01:13:40It fell out of a guy's pocket and hit me in the face.
01:13:43Private Dixon.
01:13:45What's the trouble, Walter? Don't you trust your own cops?
01:13:48You're right, Sam.
01:13:50I hired the men who worked you over.
01:13:52The idea was mine.
01:13:54I thought it might scare you into not coming back.
01:13:56It hasn't.
01:13:58We're ready to listen to the current quotation on blackmail.
01:14:01Walter!
01:14:03Blackmail. I said blackmail.
01:14:05Now what is the price?
01:14:07Remember, you're dealing with two old friends.
01:14:09Well, uh...
01:14:11Which one of you do I deal with?
01:14:13With me. Be at my office at the plant at three.
01:14:15Okay.
01:14:19May the deal be profitable.
01:14:21To all of us.
01:14:23Whatever the price is, that's it, Sam.
01:14:25Don't try this again.
01:14:27What happened last night can happen again.
01:14:29And worse.
01:14:31Don't try it, sweetheart.
01:14:34I make this a flat statement.
01:14:38I'll kill you.
01:14:49Hold your hand under the water.
01:14:56Now dry your hand.
01:15:04This will hurt.
01:15:06Even pain at your hands.
01:15:09You were lucky.
01:15:11Yes, I'm a very lucky man.
01:15:13And a stupid one.
01:15:15Yesterday afternoon he told me he didn't want anything,
01:15:17that he was going away.
01:15:19But let me handle...
01:15:21I didn't like what you had in mind.
01:15:23It's quite a thing in a small city like this
01:15:25to be a district attorney.
01:15:27You get to feel like God.
01:15:29You know everything.
01:15:31Down to the smallest detail.
01:15:32Even a call to Dempsey's garage.
01:15:36Sam's leaving Iverston today.
01:15:38That's what he said.
01:15:40I want to hear you say it.
01:15:42It's up to him.
01:15:44No, it's up to you.
01:15:46I know you, Martha.
01:15:48You are my life's work.
01:15:50I've studied you all these years.
01:15:52A little girl in a cage waiting for someone to let her out.
01:15:54And along comes Sam.
01:15:56Do you know what's on my mind, Martha?
01:15:58About Sam, I mean.
01:16:00I think I do.
01:16:02But that's where it will stay on your mind.
01:16:05Unless, of course, I tell you differently.
01:16:10What did O'Neil say?
01:16:12Do you think he'll make trouble?
01:16:14No, no, I had him figured out right.
01:16:16He's still just a scared little kid.
01:16:18Coffee, please, black.
01:16:20No, Martha's the one I can't dope out.
01:16:22Martha?
01:16:24Mrs. O'Neil.
01:16:26The three of us grew up together.
01:16:28I told you about her, remember?
01:16:30Thanks.
01:16:32What's she like now?
01:16:34What do you mean?
01:16:36Is she pretty?
01:16:38She's beautiful.
01:16:40That's why I can't figure it out
01:16:42why should a beautiful rich girl stay married
01:16:44to a guy she's not in love with.
01:16:46How do you know that?
01:16:48I know.
01:16:50You sound like you're in love with her.
01:16:52You sound like you're jealous.
01:16:55Could be.
01:16:58When are we leaving?
01:17:00This evening, if the car's ready.
01:17:02What do we do until then?
01:17:04I know, why don't we find out
01:17:06what happened to your people?
01:17:08Yeah.
01:17:10It'll be simple.
01:17:12Now I know I left town September 27th, 1928.
01:17:15The exact date, how come you remember it?
01:17:17Wouldn't you remember a date,
01:17:19the exact date about something that happened that long ago?
01:17:21No, not unless something terrific happened that day.
01:17:23Yeah.
01:17:25Come on, let's finish your coffee.
01:17:27We'll go down to the newspaper morgue.
01:17:29The morgue?
01:17:30There's a lot of people down there.
01:17:32Afterwards, we'll take you shopping.
01:17:39That was a strange case.
01:17:41Went unsolved for years.
01:17:44Then one day they picked up a guy
01:17:46who stuck up a garage or something.
01:17:48Someone who used to work at old lady Ivor's house.
01:17:51Came out at the trial
01:17:53and he was the one that knocked the old lady off.
01:17:55It's my favorite case.
01:17:57Here's a picture of the guy.
01:17:58Doesn't look like her that much, does he?
01:18:00Yeah, kind of a scared little rabbit.
01:18:02I watched him all through the trial.
01:18:04Never had a chance.
01:18:06O'Neil really did a job on him.
01:18:08Is that Walter O'Neil?
01:18:10Yep, same guy.
01:18:12He was kind of dramatic though.
01:18:14Him being engaged to the niece of the murdered woman.
01:18:16He sure did a job.
01:18:19Jury was unanimous.
01:18:21What happened to him?
01:18:23Oh, they hung him.
01:18:25Interesting, eh?
01:18:26Solving a murder after all those years.
01:18:28It's all in the files there. Go ahead and read it.
01:18:30Oh, thanks. I will.
01:18:38Yes?
01:18:40Mr. Masterson, by appointment.
01:18:42Send him in, please.
01:18:46Three o'clock, on the nose.
01:18:48On the nose. Come in, Sam.
01:18:50You should have kept me waiting.
01:18:52Big executives always keep people waiting,
01:18:54didn't you know that?
01:18:56But you're good.
01:18:58I am?
01:19:04It catches a dozen, doesn't it?
01:19:06The feeling of a factory.
01:19:08When you're out on this place,
01:19:10I couldn't get past the gate.
01:19:12Now I'm a guest.
01:19:14Or am I?
01:19:16I invited you here.
01:19:18Martha, did your aunt leave you everything?
01:19:20I was her only heir.
01:19:22I'll never forget the way she looked that night
01:19:24standing in the doorway,
01:19:26I don't want to talk about her.
01:19:28Okay, okay.
01:19:30You look different than you did this morning.
01:19:32Clean and fresh.
01:19:34Yeah, well, it's the perfume I use
01:19:36that makes me smell so nice.
01:19:38I bet I smell as nice
01:19:40as you and Walter put together.
01:19:42What do you want?
01:19:44I think I've got what I want.
01:19:46I think I've got a gimmick.
01:19:48A gimmick is an angle that works for you
01:19:51to keep you from working too hard for yourself.
01:19:53Simple.
01:19:54Simple.
01:19:56Specifically, what is your angle?
01:19:58Specifically?
01:20:00Half.
01:20:02Half of what?
01:20:04You tell me.
01:20:06All right, Sam.
01:20:11Come here.
01:20:15My father used to work here as a mill hand.
01:20:17So did my father
01:20:19when he was sober.
01:20:21Now I own it.
01:20:22Now you're even.
01:20:24Now I'm even.
01:20:26I was 21 when I took it over.
01:20:28It had 3,000 workers then.
01:20:30It's got 30,000 now.
01:20:32Ran as far as that gate.
01:20:34Now it goes down to the edge of the river.
01:20:36And I did it all by myself.
01:20:38Without Walter, without his father.
01:20:40All by myself.
01:20:43Half of this should make quite a score.
01:20:48Half would make you my partner.
01:20:50That's what I had in mind.
01:20:52You went out of here a dirty little kid once before,
01:20:54that can happen again.
01:20:56I don't have to give you anything if I don't want to.
01:20:58But you do want to.
01:21:10Hey, Tony!
01:21:12Come in here, quick!
01:21:17Yes, Sam?
01:21:20Make a wish.
01:21:22I went shopping.
01:21:24Any wish, you make it, you got it.
01:21:26You feel good.
01:21:28Yeah, I'm high. I had a drink.
01:21:30What was in it?
01:21:32A bucket of gold.
01:21:34The dice came up seven.
01:21:36Tony, you bring me luck.
01:21:38I'm gonna wear you like a charm.
01:21:40You really think so, Sam?
01:21:42You really think I bring you luck?
01:21:44I know so.
01:21:46And that's an asset for a guy in my business.
01:21:48Tony Marachek asset.
01:21:50Tony Marachek, good kid.
01:21:52You walk down the street and that girl
01:21:54asks you for a cigarette.
01:21:56And imagine the time.
01:21:58Life is funny.
01:22:00That's philosophy.
01:22:02It's good too.
01:22:04You want to know how it is with me, Sam?
01:22:06No, tell me.
01:22:08I told you.
01:22:10And even if it's over, quick.
01:22:12Look, what you don't know, don't talk about.
01:22:17I bought a new outfit, I want to show you.
01:22:19Well, let's take a look at it.
01:22:218.95.
01:22:23How do you like it?
01:22:25With you in it, it...
01:22:28Hello, Sam.
01:22:30Tony.
01:22:32Yes, Sam?
01:22:34I heard you talking.
01:22:36Well, even a crummy hotel like this has a switchboard.
01:22:38I have special privileges in this hotel, Sam.
01:22:41I own it.
01:22:44This is Miss O'Neil, Tony.
01:22:47Hello.
01:22:48So this is the girl.
01:22:50Tony is my name.
01:22:52Antonia Marachek.
01:22:54The sunsuit looks very well on her, Sam.
01:22:56She's got just the figure for it.
01:22:58She's a very pretty girl.
01:23:00I give another show at 8 o'clock.
01:23:02In your room or here?
01:23:06Tony.
01:23:08Yes, Sam?
01:23:10Miss O'Neil is sorry she said that.
01:23:12I'm sorry I said that.
01:23:14Okay, forget it.
01:23:16Tony.
01:23:18Miss O'Neil is in business.
01:23:20That's why you came here, isn't it?
01:23:22Yes.
01:23:24I'll be back after a little while.
01:23:26I've got no place to go.
01:23:28I'll be here.
01:23:33I didn't like that.
01:23:35I apologize.
01:23:37There was ice on your tongue.
01:23:39If you want me to say anything else to her.
01:23:41You spoke your piece.
01:23:43Let's get out of here.
01:23:45I've never been in a hotel room like this before.
01:23:46I've been in too many.
01:23:48Just the way you read about it in books.
01:23:50Window shades.
01:23:52Scotch on the dresser.
01:23:55Let's stay here, Sam.
01:23:57Why not? We can order our dinner here.
01:23:59I don't like room service.
01:24:03All right, Sam.
01:24:05Come on, let's go.
01:24:06What's your Tony Marachek really like?
01:24:09That's what she asked me about you.
01:24:12What are your plans for her?
01:24:14Oh, she's very independent.
01:24:16Hardly.
01:24:18How did you meet her?
01:24:20We lived in the same house.
01:24:22In Iverstown?
01:24:24Yeah.
01:24:25When?
01:24:26Now.
01:24:28Now and then.
01:24:30I don't know.
01:24:32I don't know.
01:24:33Now and then.
01:24:41Well, let's go back to our drinks, huh?
01:24:48To continue with your Antonio Marachek,
01:24:50have you other things in common?
01:24:52Taxicabs, hotels, and Bibles.
01:24:56And we don't like some of the same people and places.
01:24:59Oh, sounds like a very substantial beginning.
01:25:01How long have you known her, really?
01:25:04Since the day before yesterday.
01:25:06How long have you known me?
01:25:09Martha, I'm not sure that I've ever known you.
01:25:13What do you say?
01:25:15Let's get down to business.
01:25:17Let's get out of here.
01:25:19Waiter!
01:25:22Yes, sir.
01:25:24Check, please.
01:25:25Yes, sir.
01:25:27Whiskey and soda.
01:25:29Whiskey and soda.
01:25:34Thank you, sir.
01:25:38Wait outside.
01:25:39Sam, what is it?
01:25:40Wait outside.
01:25:55Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
01:25:56Beautiful, beautiful.
01:25:58Get back to him when he sobers up.
01:26:00Tell him I run an honest book I always pay off.
01:26:11I thought I told you to wait outside.
01:26:13I wanted to see.
01:26:14You saw.
01:26:15You wanted to kill him, didn't you?
01:26:17Yes, I did.
01:26:19This the spot?
01:26:21Yes.
01:26:23I like your car.
01:26:26You know what happened to Lott's wife when she looked back, don't you?
01:26:29What?
01:26:30She was turned into a pillar of salt.
01:26:32What happened to Lott?
01:26:34He got away. He didn't look back.
01:26:36You know your Bible.
01:26:38You would, too, if you spent as much time as I did in hotel rooms.
01:26:41I'll take it up.
01:26:43Come on, let's get out of here.
01:26:45Let's go.
01:26:47Come on, let's get out of here.
01:26:49I love to watch the city from this spot.
01:26:55Up here doesn't even look real, does it?
01:26:57It's real. Very real.
01:26:59Owning it gives you a sense of power.
01:27:01You'd know what I meant if you had it.
01:27:04Ivers, Ivers, Ivers.
01:27:06Ivers.
01:27:07If anyone asked me my name now, I'd say it was Martha Smith.
01:27:11I smell smoke.
01:27:14Better take a look.
01:27:16Let's go.
01:27:22Must have been some kids up here.
01:27:24Sam, don't. Let it burn.
01:27:26We used to come up here when we were kids and build a fire.
01:27:30Now?
01:27:32Let it burn, Sam.
01:27:35Okay.
01:27:37In those days, we used to think that this was real.
01:27:40And that...
01:27:43That didn't even exist.
01:27:45Just now, you looked like Martha Smith.
01:27:48If only you hadn't run away.
01:27:50Well, I waited for you.
01:27:52I remember I waited a long time in the rain, but you didn't show.
01:27:55Give me a cigarette, Sam.
01:27:57If only you hadn't left me.
01:27:59I'd have waited for you.
01:28:01I'd have waited a long time in the rain, but you didn't show.
01:28:04Give me a cigarette, Sam.
01:28:06I left town.
01:28:08I had no one to turn to.
01:28:12What did you say, Sam?
01:28:14Nothing. I didn't say anything.
01:28:16When I found out, it was too late.
01:28:18Much too late.
01:28:20One thing led to another and...
01:28:24Another what?
01:28:26I don't want to talk about it anymore.
01:28:29Oh, go ahead, Martha. Do your good.
01:28:31Another what?
01:28:33Where was I?
01:28:34One thing led to another.
01:28:36It would have been so different if you hadn't run away.
01:28:39It would have been you instead of Walter.
01:28:43Or if you had stopped me.
01:28:46When I left at the cane, why didn't you stop me?
01:28:49You knew how much I hated her. Why didn't you stop me?
01:28:52I wasn't there, Martha.
01:28:54And then I stood there afterwards.
01:29:00You...
01:29:02You weren't there?
01:29:04No, Martha.
01:29:06I wasn't there.
01:29:08I left when your aunt came into the hallway.
01:29:10I didn't want to stick around.
01:29:12I was in enough trouble as it was.
01:29:14I never saw what happened.
01:29:16I never knew until tonight about your aunt or that man.
01:29:19The one they hung.
01:29:21The man that you and Walter killed.
01:29:31Martha.
01:30:01Sam, help me.
01:30:03Help me.
01:30:05All right, Martha.
01:30:07Tell me. Talk.
01:30:10All right, Sam.
01:30:15I never imagined anyone could die so quickly.
01:30:18I'd always supposed that wherever I went,
01:30:21she would be with me, that she would never die.
01:30:24But she didn't.
01:30:26She didn't die.
01:30:28She didn't die.
01:30:29But it wasn't like that.
01:30:32I expected to find her when I went back to my room.
01:30:36Later, I became frightened.
01:30:38The coroner and the police were sympathetic.
01:30:41They talked very attentive.
01:30:43They believed my story,
01:30:45the one I told Walter's father.
01:30:49That night, I slept happily.
01:30:51Peacefully.
01:30:53How did you sleep the night after they hung that man?
01:30:56It wasn't long when I found out
01:30:57why Walter's father believed my story.
01:31:00It was as if my aunt had never died.
01:31:02He took her place.
01:31:04He wanted to make something of his son,
01:31:06and I was tied to them both from that time on.
01:31:10It became so unbearable that I wanted to tell the truth.
01:31:13But he had deliberately given me such a sense of guilt
01:31:16and had painted such a picture of what would happen to me
01:31:18that I was crazy with fear.
01:31:21He used that fear well.
01:31:24To increase it, he made me talk to him.
01:31:25To increase it, he made me part of another crime.
01:31:29My testimony sent an innocent man to the gallows.
01:31:34And he used that to make me marry Walter.
01:31:39Sam, you're not going to go away again.
01:31:41I want you here, Sam.
01:31:43I've lived so much inside of myself,
01:31:45so choked with wanting something else
01:31:47that lives and breathes,
01:31:49so desperate for air and room to breathe in it.
01:31:51Oh, Sam, please.
01:31:53Please stay here, Sam.
01:31:56Sam!
01:32:12Hi, Mother.
01:32:25Tony?
01:32:43Tony? Are you still up?
01:32:47Tony?
01:32:49Yes?
01:32:51It's me, it's Sam. Can I come in?
01:32:53Yes, Sam.
01:32:55Come in.
01:33:00Mind if I put your light on?
01:33:02Yes, in a little while.
01:33:04I was sound asleep. I've got a headache.
01:33:06Okay.
01:33:10I've got something to tell you, Tony.
01:33:13Yes, Sam.
01:33:26Tony.
01:33:34You're crying.
01:33:37You're crying because you saw...
01:33:40You were at the window there when we drove up.
01:33:45Well, that's what I came in to tell you about, Tony.
01:33:48The...
01:33:50The...
01:33:52The...
01:33:53The...
01:33:55The...
01:33:57You didn't have to, Sam.
01:33:59There are no strings on this deal.
01:34:01Well, that's why I wanted to.
01:34:03You see, it...
01:34:05It started a long way back.
01:34:07I...
01:34:09I don't know yet how it's gonna finish.
01:34:11What do you want me to say?
01:34:13I don't know.
01:34:15What do you want me to do?
01:34:17I don't know.
01:34:19All you have to do is tell me the truth.
01:34:21Like you did when those goons worked me over.
01:34:24Now we're even.
01:34:28Now I'm beat up.
01:34:30I'm sorry I said that, Tony.
01:34:36Look, kid.
01:34:39I'm sore at myself, not at you.
01:34:42Do you want me to leave?
01:34:45Do you want to leave?
01:34:48That's up to you, Sam.
01:34:49I'm here on a ring check.
01:34:51Now don't put it that way.
01:34:53You're here because
01:34:55that's the way we wanted it.
01:34:57And now?
01:35:00I'm not sure.
01:35:04I'm just not sure.
01:35:20Hello, Gable Hotel.
01:35:22I want to speak to Sam Masterson.
01:35:24Put that phone down.
01:35:26Hello, Sam. This is Walter.
01:35:28I know I'm not disturbing you.
01:35:30Martha just came in.
01:35:33Well, what do you want?
01:35:35I want you to come up here.
01:35:37Now.
01:35:38Right now.
01:35:39Are you crazy? The service...
01:35:41I gave them the night off.
01:35:43You're drunk.
01:35:45I'm not drunk.
01:35:47I'm not drunk.
01:35:50I've had a lot to drink,
01:35:52but I'm not drunk.
01:35:54I suppose it'd be stupid to ask where you were.
01:35:57Yes, it would.
01:35:58Sam's not leaving, is he?
01:36:00Ask him when he gets here.
01:36:01I just got my answer.
01:36:03Then there are no more questions.
01:36:05No, I know what I need to know.
01:36:08Sam the Superman.
01:36:10Sam the dirty little boy
01:36:12from the other side of the tracks.
01:36:14I'll go and change.
01:36:16I wouldn't want him to see me in the same dress twice.
01:36:20Come in.
01:36:27Toni.
01:36:30You're leaving, huh?
01:36:32There's a bus out in about an hour.
01:36:34Toni.
01:36:36Sam, it's... it's better this way.
01:36:41Look...
01:36:42Sam, I came back here with you
01:36:45because I wanted to talk to you.
01:36:46Sam, I came back here with you because
01:36:49you said you didn't like to be pushed around.
01:36:52I liked you when you said that.
01:36:55You were looking for trouble,
01:36:57but it was a good kind of trouble.
01:36:59And now...
01:37:00Now what?
01:37:01Sam, I saw her.
01:37:03You're going to get hurt.
01:37:05Leave her, Sam.
01:37:06Leave this town.
01:37:08Even without me, but... but leave.
01:37:10I can't.
01:37:12At least not just yet.
01:37:17You're going to need some money.
01:37:19No, thanks.
01:37:21Let's break clean.
01:37:30See you around.
01:37:31Yeah.
01:37:35Around.
01:37:37Where's Martha?
01:37:39Upstairs.
01:37:40Getting dressed for the occasion.
01:37:43I'll go upstairs.
01:37:49Why did you call me?
01:37:51I've got a riddle, Sam.
01:37:53Maybe you can help me solve it.
01:37:55It's a little riddle called
01:37:56What's to be done about me, Martha, and you?
01:38:00What's to be done about me, Martha, and you?
01:38:03What's to be done about me, Martha, and you?
01:38:07Sounds just like a poem.
01:38:09If it rhymed, it would rhyme with murder.
01:38:22He's drunk.
01:38:23He's been sitting here drinking all night.
01:38:26Draw a chalk line and I'll walk it.
01:38:29Or I'll take a mental test.
01:38:30Any question like, uh...
01:38:32What is my object in life?
01:38:34I tried to stop him from calling you.
01:38:36You're a wiseacre.
01:38:37An angle boy.
01:38:38You know all the answers, don't you?
01:38:41How are you on dreams?
01:38:42Then I was glad he called you.
01:38:43I was frightened of him, Sam.
01:38:45She was frightened of me.
01:38:48I had a dream, Sam.
01:38:49It was about you.
01:38:51In my dream, you were not a handsome corpse.
01:38:53Maybe it was some other guy.
01:38:55In other dreams, there were others.
01:38:56I told you he's drunk.
01:38:57Did you say others?
01:38:59Many others.
01:39:00He's lying.
01:39:01Poor little Martha.
01:39:02Her life was so empty.
01:39:04Is that what she told you, Sam?
01:39:05I don't want him in here, Sam.
01:39:06Make him get out.
01:39:07Now you're all of them, Sam.
01:39:09Every one of them rolled into one.
01:39:11Sam, make him...
01:39:12Keep talking.
01:39:13I'm all of them rolled into one.
01:39:14Yes.
01:39:16You're a gymnasium instructor in Philadelphia.
01:39:18With a muscle for a brain and a tendency to insipid verse.
01:39:21You're a guy, just a guy named Peter Neary
01:39:23who smells of fish and sings.
01:39:26You're last year's greatest fullback
01:39:27and you flunked your bar exam,
01:39:28but you wanted to be a doctor.
01:39:30You're a guy who came along to fix a tire so well
01:39:32you became a city paid inspector.
01:39:35And you're a lot of others.
01:39:37But worst of all, you're the one and only man
01:39:39who shares with me the only claim I have on her.
01:39:42Ask her, Sam.
01:39:43Say to her, Martha's all is true.
01:39:45What if it is?
01:39:46What did you expect?
01:39:47She never wanted to marry you.
01:39:48If you had any self-respect...
01:39:49She married me because she felt that way.
01:39:51I would never tell.
01:39:52That's a lie.
01:39:53Your old man forced her.
01:39:54How long do you expect her to go on paying off?
01:39:56I don't know.
01:39:57Your old man forced her.
01:39:58How long do you expect her to go on paying off?
01:40:00Forever.
01:40:02Whatever happens to you, you've got coming.
01:40:05What can happen, Sam?
01:40:07Shall I tell you?
01:40:09She'll try to get you to kill me.
01:40:12Like she got me to send an innocent man to the gallows.
01:40:15I told you the way it was.
01:40:16It was his father's idea.
01:40:17He made...
01:40:18Did she tell you how she stood up in the police station?
01:40:19How she looked at the man without batting an eye?
01:40:21How she said, yes, that's the man.
01:40:23He's the one who came into the house that night.
01:40:25He's the man who killed my aunt.
01:40:29That even stuck in the throat of my father.
01:40:32My poor, dear, departed, greedy father.
01:40:37But he went right out.
01:40:39And so did I.
01:40:40He's lying.
01:40:41You believe me, don't you, Sam?
01:40:42You believe her, Sam?
01:40:44Martha, at least tell the truth now.
01:40:47Tell how much you were afraid of an unsolved murder.
01:40:49Tell what a threat it was to the power and the riches
01:40:51that you'd learned to love so much.
01:40:54That I'd learned to love too.
01:40:56Tell why I became district attorney.
01:40:59Tell why you made me hang that man.
01:41:00Tell the truth.
01:41:01I told the truth.
01:41:02They were like leeches, both of them.
01:41:03They wanted everything.
01:41:04All I ever wanted was you.
01:41:05Everything you are, everything you have, I gave you.
01:41:06You gave me nothing.
01:41:07Then let go!
01:41:14You're insane.
01:41:17You're out of your mind.
01:41:20Me too.
01:41:22You see, Sam, how close we really are to each other.
01:41:25Don't break up our happy home.
01:41:28It'll have to be you or me.
01:41:30And unless you do it now, it'll be you.
01:41:45You mustn't think I'm drunk.
01:41:47I'm not.
01:41:48I...
01:41:50It's just that I'm sick.
01:41:54Inside of me, I'm...
01:41:56I'm sick.
01:42:06Martha, help me.
01:42:09Please.
01:42:18Sam, you believe me, don't you?
01:42:41Now, Sam, do it now.
01:42:44Set me free, set both of us free.
01:42:46He fell down the stairs and fractured his skull, that's how he died.
01:42:49Everybody knows what a heavy drinker he was.
01:42:52Oh, Sam, it can't be so easy.
01:43:16Sam!
01:43:47I thought you loved me.
01:43:49I thought I did too.
01:43:51Now you hate me.
01:43:53Now I'm sorry for you.
01:43:56And I dreamed about you coming back.
01:43:59Your whole life has been a dream.
01:44:02I thought you'd be the Sam I knew as a child.
01:44:05Martha, you're sick.
01:44:07I could run to you when I was in trouble.
01:44:09In your mind, I mean, that's where you're sick.
01:44:11And you'd help me.
01:44:12So sick that you don't even know the difference between right and wrong anymore.
01:44:16You've killed.
01:44:18It says so in your record.
01:44:20I've never murdered.
01:44:32Are you all right now?
01:44:35I'm all right.
01:44:37You fell down the stairs.
01:44:38You fell down the stairs.
01:44:41I remember.
01:44:46You carried me in here.
01:44:49Yeah.
01:44:58You had your chance, Sam.
01:45:06It's a thin line.
01:45:08The one between life and death.
01:45:12You said I didn't know the difference between right and wrong.
01:45:16What's right for Walter and myself?
01:45:18For us to tell the truth?
01:45:20I think so, yes.
01:45:21And hang for it?
01:45:22You wouldn't hang for it.
01:45:23Not if you confessed, you'd do time, sure.
01:45:25Sure, I'll rot in prison for the rest of my life.
01:45:27And for what? What am I guilty of?
01:45:28Murder.
01:45:29What were their lives compared to mine? What was she?
01:45:30A human being.
01:45:31A mean, vicious, hateful old woman who never did anything for anybody.
01:45:33Look what I've done with what she's left me.
01:45:35I've given to charity, built schools, hospitals,
01:45:36given thousands of people work.
01:45:37What was he?
01:45:38Another human being.
01:45:39A thief, a drunkard, someone who would have died in the gutter anyway.
01:45:41Neither one of them had any right to live.
01:45:43You didn't think Walter had either.
01:45:46Goodbye, Martha.
01:45:48Sam.
01:45:52Sam's going away.
01:45:56Did you hear what I said, Walter?
01:45:58Yes, I heard you.
01:46:00We can't let him go, can we?
01:46:07Martha's waiting for your answer, Walter.
01:46:09We'd always be afraid of him. We couldn't live that way.
01:46:12We'd be fools to let him go, knowing so much about us.
01:46:15You may have a little trouble squaring this one.
01:46:17You broke into the house, you demanded money,
01:46:19you tried to attack me, and I shot you in self-defense.
01:46:21I have a right to kill in self-defense.
01:46:22That's what the law says, doesn't it, Walter?
01:46:32Isn't that what they...
01:46:33Law says, Walter?
01:46:37You can hold up, Walter.
01:46:39I'm a man with a police record.
01:46:49It's a perfect case
01:46:51if you can get Walter to be your witness.
01:46:56Do you want to bet?
01:47:04I feel sorry for you.
01:47:07Both of you.
01:47:34You love him.
01:47:36I hate him.
01:47:38That's why you dropped the gun.
01:47:40I was afraid.
01:47:42But the first time in my life, I was afraid.
01:47:45I felt you'd no longer stand by me,
01:47:47that you'd leave me.
01:47:51No, Martha, I won't leave you.
01:47:54I love you.
01:47:57Now, don't cry, Martha.
01:47:59It's not your fault.
01:48:00It isn't, is it, Walter?
01:48:02No, not mine, no.
01:48:04Not my father's, not your aunt's.
01:48:06It's not anyone's fault.
01:48:08It's just the way things are.
01:48:10It's what people want
01:48:12and how hard they want it.
01:48:14How hard it is for them to get it.
01:48:19He's near the cave.
01:48:22I'm glad he's going.
01:48:25He'll always be.
01:48:27No, he won't.
01:48:28He won't.
01:48:30And he'll never tell you needn't be afraid.
01:48:32And you'll see.
01:48:34Things will be different now between you and me.
01:48:38Just like...
01:48:41Just like nothing ever happened.
01:48:44Just like nothing ever happened.
01:48:50Will you kiss me, Martha?
01:48:58You believe me?
01:49:28Iris, Iris, Iris.
01:49:30No.
01:49:33No, Martha Smith.
01:49:58No.
01:49:59No.
01:50:00No.
01:50:27I missed the bus once and I was lucky.
01:50:31I wanted to see if I could be
01:50:34lucky twice.
01:50:43Don't look back, baby.
01:50:45Don't ever look back.
01:50:48You know what happened to Locke's wife, don't you?
01:50:50Whose wife?
01:50:52Sam's wife.
01:50:57Sam's wife.
01:51:00Sam's wife.
