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.
00:15:24THE FACTORY
00:15:46At the fairgrounds last week.
00:15:48In the handicap, Chestnut King looks like an odds-on favorite.
00:15:50That guy doesn't know what he's talking about, Chestnut. King's a dog.
00:15:53He was losing races to cow ponies years ago in Tijuana.
00:16:00What do you know? What do you know about that?
00:16:03How do you like that, sailor?
00:16:05Leave a place when you're a kid, maybe 17, 18 years ago, and you forget all about it,
00:16:09and all of a sudden you're driving along and smack all your own hometown up
00:16:13and hits you right in the face.
00:16:20Come on, let's go.
00:16:42End of the line, sailor. Come on, wake up.
00:16:45Where are we?
00:16:47In a small accident.
00:16:50Come on.
00:16:55Next time, I pick me a guy that don't fall asleep.
00:17:00Welcome to Haverstown.
00:17:03Well, maybe this time they mean it.
00:17:11You got anybody here to fix this wreck, mister?
00:17:13Roll her in.
00:17:16Ten more, you don't make her fat. Five more, you're the fat.
00:17:20That's you.
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? Nope.
00:17:46Four. Right back, little Joe.
00:17:49You don't need a ten, no four.
00:17:51You got a bet. Come on, Harry, make four.
00:17:53Seven.
00:17:55Your show, Joe.
00:17:57Thanks. Shootin' 20.
00:17:59Ten more, you don't make it.
00:18:01Ten, I do.
00:18:05What's it gonna cost, Pop?
00:18:07Won't know till it's done.
00:18:09Ain't a look I want to know now.
00:18:11Take it someplace else.
00:18:13Welcome to Haverstown.
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.
00:18:22No, 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.
00:18:46Say, this, uh, Walter P. O'Neil, isn't that the kid that used to live...
00:18:49on, uh, Sycamore Street? His father used to be a schoolteacher?
00:18:52Yeah, that's him. You know him?
00:18:55Yeah, I used to.
00:18:57Little scared kid on Sycamore Street.
00:18:59Now he's running for the District Attorney.
00:19:01What's the odds?
00:19:03On what?
00:19:05The election.
00:19:07No odds. No takers.
00:19:09This is a sure bet, mister. Gonna be re-elected.
00:19:11Gonna be governor.
00:19:14You know that someday he'll run for president.
00:19:16Yep.
00:19:18Gonna be whatever his wife wants him to be.
00:19:20Some gal. Who'd he marry?
00:19:22You from this town?
00:19:24Used to be.
00:19:26You ought to know her then. Old Lady Ivers' niece.
00:19:28Martha Ivers?
00:19:30Yep.
00:19:32Came into the whole works after the old lady died.
00:19:34Well, what do you know?
00:19:36What do you know about that Martha Ivers?
00:19:44I don't know.
00:19:46You still look like a scared little kid to me.
00:19:52Hello, Gallagher.
00:19:54Hey, wait a minute.
00:19:56Do I know you?
00:19:58Sure.
00:20:00I'm the guy who tossed a rock through that window once.
00:20:02And you're the guy who chased me.
00:20:04If I chased you, I'd bet I caught you.
00:20:06Come to think of it, I believe you did.
00:20:08Come to think of it, I believe you did.
00:20:38Hello.
00:20:40Hello.
00:20:42You live here?
00:20:44Used to.
00:20:46Who runs this place?
00:20:48Lady, the name of Mrs. Burke.
00:20:50She's not home.
00:20:52You waiting for her?
00:20:54No, I'm not.
00:20:56I'm waiting for my wife.
00:20:58I'm waiting for my wife.
00:21:00I'm waiting for my wife.
00:21:02I'm waiting for my wife.
00:21:04I'm waiting for my wife.
00:21:06You waiting for her?
00:21:08Just came back to get my things.
00:21:12I've been away for a while.
00:21:14I'm waiting for a taxi.
00:21:16I used to live here in this house.
00:21:1817, 18 years ago.
00:21:20I was born here.
00:21:22Don't kid me, you're older than that.
00:21:24Well, I didn't move right after I was born.
00:21:28Got one to spare?
00:21:32Got some more matches?
00:21:35I didn't have these.
00:21:39Got the time?
00:21:41Yeah, it's a quarter after 11.
00:21:43Now, ain't that just dandy?
00:21:45And I've got an 11.30 bus to catch.
00:21:47You can still make it.
00:21:49Not if the taxi doesn't show up fast.
00:21:51Know anybody that lives around here in the name of Masterson?
00:21:55No.
00:21:57Know anybody in town at all by that name?
00:21:59No, I'm from Ridgeville.
00:22:01Is your name Masterson?
00:22:03You mean you're just getting home after 18 years?
00:22:07Well, 17 or 18.
00:22:09You're just getting around to looking up your people.
00:22:11No, not exactly.
00:22:15I just happened to be driving through on my way west
00:22:17and got more or less curious, that's all.
00:22:21Well, good luck.
00:22:25What you gonna do?
00:22:27What do you mean?
00:22:29I mean about your people.
00:22:31Well, I don't know. Maybe nothing.
00:22:35Maybe tomorrow I'll go down to the courthouse
00:22:37and look up the deaths in the last 18 years.
00:22:39Can you do that?
00:22:41Yeah, I think so.
00:22:43Good night.
00:22:46The bus terminal. Please hurry.
00:22:48I've got an 11.30 bus to catch.
00:22:56Masterson!
00:23:04Masterson!
00:23:06Masterson!
00:23:08Masterson!
00:23:10Masterson!
00:23:12Masterson!
00:23:14I thought it was you, Mr. Masterson.
00:23:16I'm glad to see you again.
00:23:18I gave you my last match.
00:23:20Want to lift any place on the way to the bus station?
00:23:22You talked me into it.
00:23:28You got my matches.
00:23:30Got a name?
00:23:32Tony. Antonia.
00:23:34Antonia Marachek.
00:23:36Ain't that a dilly, Mr. Masterson?
00:23:38Sam.
00:23:44Please hurry.
00:23:46The depot's just across the tracks.
00:23:48You've still got four minutes.
00:23:52You'd have made it if you didn't stop
00:23:54to pick up your jam.
00:23:56Might be able to chase it.
00:23:58I can get a bus back to Ridgeville tomorrow.
00:24:00Maybe I won't get a bus back to Ridgeville.
00:24:02Maybe I'll go someplace else.
00:24:06Maybe in another direction.
00:24:08Chicago or further west, maybe.
00:24:11Have you ever been out west before?
00:24:13No.
00:24:15I've never.
00:24:17Maybe I will.
00:24:21What'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.
00:24:47Do you drink, Sam?
00:24:49Yes, I drink.
00:24:51I'll buy you one.
00:24:53Okay.
00:24:55Too bad.
00:24:57Do you want me to check your bag in the station here?
00:24:59I don't know.
00:25:01I guess I want it at a hotel.
00:25:03Okay.
00:25:05I'll get it.
00:25:07I'll get it.
00:25:09I guess I want it at a hotel.
00:25:11You want me to take you there?
00:25:13Do you happen to be at the Gable Hotel?
00:25:15Yeah.
00:25:17Can I go there?
00:25:19It's a public place.
00:25:21Yeah.
00:25:23Tell the clerk that Sam Masterson wants a room for a young lady.
00:25:25She'll register when she gets there.
00:25:27Yes, sir.
00:25:29Thanks.
00:25:31No.
00:25:37Quiet, see?
00:25:39Blue lights, music, everything.
00:25:41A cafe.
00:25:45When I lived in this town, there were nothing but saloons.
00:25:47My father used to live in them.
00:25:49Mine, too.
00:25:51We're related.
00:25:53I'll have the same thing you have, if you don't mind.
00:25:55Scotch.
00:25:57I take a plain water chaser with that one.
00:26:00Scotch isn't so good.
00:26:02Two water chasers.
00:26:04Did 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,
00:26:14having her facelifted.
00:26:16Better bring us a couple more before curfew.
00:26:18As well.
00:26:20That'll be $2.
00:26:22On me.
00:26:24Oh, thanks.
00:26:26Maybe you'd like to drink to finding your people.
00:26:28My mother wouldn't approve of that.
00:26:30How would you know, after all this time?
00:26:32After all this time, you probably wouldn't care,
00:26:34one way or the other.
00:26:36You talk awful cold-blooded about them, don't you?
00:26:38That's life.
00:26:40Is it a big family?
00:26:42No, it wasn't.
00:26:44Besides me, they're just the usual two people necessary
00:26:46to increase the population.
00:26:48Mother left when I was a baby,
00:26:50and my father probably drank himself to death by now.
00:26:52Another man I know talks cold like that's my dad.
00:26:54He's the most cold-blooded man in Ridgeville.
00:26:56Once he kicked me.
00:26:58It made me sick.
00:27:00I can guess why you didn't break your neck
00:27:02to catch that bus back to Ridgeville tonight.
00:27:04I probably would've got on and got off
00:27:06before it started out.
00:27:08I probably would've got the jitters
00:27:10the minute I got on.
00:27:12I don't know.
00:27:14I don't know.
00:27:16I don't know.
00:27:18I don't know.
00:27:21The minute I got on.
00:27:23Anyway, it's gone now
00:27:25for tonight anyhow.
00:27:27There won't be another one until tomorrow night.
00:27:29Now I know for sure
00:27:31I'm not going to make that one either.
00:27:33Not the one to Ridgeville, at least.
00:27:39But I'm so glad you came
00:27:41to have a drink with me tonight.
00:27:43I was so lonesome.
00:27:45I'd like to have died.
00:27:47Have you ever been that lonesome?
00:27:49How lonesome is that?
00:27:51About as much as you can hold
00:27:53without busting open.
00:27:55Want 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
00:28:07on that when you had it.
00:28:09You're smart.
00:28:11Maybe you think I've been trying
00:28:13too hard to get acquainted.
00:28:15Maybe you have.
00:28:18I wonder what you're thinking.
00:28:20I don't think you'll take up
00:28:22too much room in my Stanley steamer.
00:28:24Maybe you're all right.
00:28:26You think you can hold that thought
00:28:28all the way to the coast?
00:28:36We'd better wait here for a minute.
00:28:40I want to ask you something.
00:28:42Does that guy look like
00:28:44a scared little boy to you?
00:28:46He looks like he's gonna cry any minute.
00:28:48Let's get away from here.
00:29:00Is Mr. O'Neil in?
00:29:02No, madam. Not to my knowledge.
00:29:16Walter.
00:29:20Hello.
00:29:32No words?
00:29:34Have a cigarette?
00:29:42I'm sorry.
00:29:44My lady's lips.
00:29:46I'll ring for some coffee for you.
00:29:48No, thank you. I'll have another drink.
00:29:50Walter!
00:29:52If there's to be a discussion,
00:29:54I'll need another drink.
00:29:56Otherwise, I shall neither hear
00:29:58nor be coherent when and if
00:30:00I reply to whatever it is
00:30:02you're about to say.
00:30:04Did you forget that you were
00:30:06supposed to speak tonight?
00:30:08I didn't forget.
00:30:10It was nice.
00:30:13Your room, I mean.
00:30:15It's been a long time since I've been here.
00:30:17Where were you?
00:30:19Getting drunk.
00:30:21Where?
00:30:23I'm still the people's choice.
00:30:25I did not make a public display
00:30:27of myself anywhere.
00:30:29You realize, of course,
00:30:31that you will one day, inevitably.
00:30:33Inevitably.
00:30:35It's your career, not mine.
00:30:37What's mine is yours.
00:30:39Don't you think I'm entitled
00:30:41I'd prefer that you would.
00:30:43All right.
00:30:45When did you get drunk?
00:30:47Where did you get drunk?
00:30:49Why did you get drunk?
00:30:51Don't stand over me like that.
00:30:53I'm a sentimental man, Martha.
00:30:55I started to get dressed,
00:30:57and then I realized
00:30:59it was the fourth anniversary
00:31:01of my father's death.
00:31:03I thought it would be nice
00:31:05if I went to the cemetery
00:31:07and laid a wreath of flowers
00:31:10However, I never got there.
00:31:12Sentiment overwhelmed me.
00:31:14I stopped off
00:31:16to have a drink
00:31:18to his sainted memory.
00:31:20As I drank, I thought to myself,
00:31:22it's such a pity
00:31:24that my father isn't alive.
00:31:26To be able to see for himself
00:31:28all his dreams come true.
00:31:30The dreams he worked so hard for.
00:31:34His son,
00:31:36a famous man.
00:31:38Married to a beautiful
00:31:40and wealthy woman.
00:31:42All right.
00:31:44Now tell me why you got drunk.
00:31:46Because I couldn't get up
00:31:48and speak before people.
00:31:53Walter, listen to me.
00:31:55What'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.
00:32:07From the day he walked in
00:32:09and found your aunt on the floor.
00:32:11I told you I never want that mentioned.
00:32:13The day he sat beside you in the courtroom
00:32:15as I, the public prosecutor,
00:32:17demanded that the state take the life of a man
00:32:19for the brutal murder of Mrs. Ivers.
00:32:21My father said nothing.
00:32:23I looked at him, but he said nothing.
00:32:25Your father was a realistic man.
00:32:27My father, may he rest in peace,
00:32:29was a greedy man.
00:32:31The man they executed was a criminal.
00:32:33If he hadn't hanged for that,
00:32:36he would have hanged for something else.
00:32:38A man was a man.
00:32:40Justice is justice.
00:32:42That's the way it is.
00:32:44I can't get up and speak before people.
00:32:46The words tick in my throat.
00:32:50I'd rather get drunk.
00:32:52I do get drunk.
00:32:56I did get drunk.
00:32:58Walter, dear, listen to me.
00:33:00If you carry a thing in your mind
00:33:02that makes you sick,
00:33:04I want you well.
00:33:06Tomorrow...
00:33:08It'll be light today.
00:33:10You will leave on a trip for your health for a few weeks.
00:33:12Will you go with me?
00:33:14No.
00:33:16I'll stay here.
00:33:20Then I'll stay here, too.
00:33:22What do you want to do, give everything up?
00:33:24Is that what you want to do?
00:33:26You wouldn't let me do that, would you, Martha?
00:33:28Do you want to?
00:33:30I don't know, Martha.
00:33:32I ask him all the time.
00:33:34If my father were alive, I could ask him.
00:33:38Only I know what his answer would be.
00:33:40He'd say to me,
00:33:42keep what you have
00:33:44and make her live up to it.
00:33:48Make her live up to her bargain.
00:33:50That's what he'd say.
00:33:52I am living up to it, Walter.
00:34:02There's another drink left.
00:34:04Might as well have it.
00:34:12The bottle's empty now.
00:34:18Good night, Walter.
00:34:20Good night.
00:34:32Good night, Martha.
00:34:41Tell me, Martha, what shall I do about my love for you?
00:34:44Tell me, Martha, why I don't abandon all this.
00:34:48Why I don't just throw it back in your face?
00:34:50You tell me, Walter.
00:35:02Well, this is it.
00:35:04Not good, not bad.
00:35:06With bath?
00:35:08With bath.
00:35:10And come out, come out, wherever you are.
00:35:12With bath, eh?
00:35:14There's half as many baths as there is rooms.
00:35:16Half the rooms has baths, and half hasn't.
00:35:18That's one way of looking at it.
00:35:20Another is, for each two rooms,
00:35:22one has a bath in the middle, and the other hasn't.
00:35:24That's one way of looking at it.
00:35:26And the other is,
00:35:28for each two rooms, one has a bath in the middle,
00:35:31and the other hasn't.
00:35:33Or, you might say,
00:35:35there's a half a bath to each of two rooms.
00:35:37How is that again?
00:35:39There's half as many baths as there is rooms,
00:35:41and if the two rooms...
00:35:43I've already sent the boy with those bags
00:35:45up to your room, Mr. Masterson.
00:35:47Oh, well, they belong to Miss Marachek here.
00:35:49They came in my name because she wasn't registered yet.
00:35:52I, uh, I missed my bus to Ridgeville.
00:35:54Oh, that's too bad.
00:36:01The boy went off at 12.
00:36:03You'll have to manage yourselves.
00:36:05I can't leave the board.
00:36:07Thanks.
00:36:09Good night.
00:36:11Sweet dreams.
00:36:13Good night, Cupid.
00:36:1525. Your room number's 25. I'm 23.
00:36:17Makes us neighbors.
00:36:19Oh.
00:36:29Why did you buy a ticket to Ridgeville
00:36:31if you didn't want to go back home?
00:36:33I didn't.
00:36:35I didn't buy the ticket.
00:36:37I got it, but I didn't buy it.
00:36:40You all right?
00:36:42I'm a little cold, maybe.
00:36:44Better get out of those wet clothes.
00:36:52I've started your bath for you.
00:36:54Hurry up now. I'm next.
00:36:56Thanks.
00:37:10You okay?
00:37:32Hello, sir.
00:37:34Hello, sir.
00:37:36Hello.
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.
00:37:48That 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.
00:37:54I won't use your toothbrush.
00:37:56Where'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.
00:38:16There'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.
00:38:34Well, what do you know?
00:38:36No, no, no, no, don't get up.
00:38:41I want to look at you a minute.
00:38:45That's really a picture.
00:38:48Throw me a match.
00:38:52So you're leaving tomorrow?
00:38:54Yeah, we're leaving tomorrow.
00:38:56That is, if the car is fixed.
00:38:58You sure you won't mind me being a passenger?
00:39:00No, no.
00:39:02That 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 liked to die.
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.
00:39:34I think you'll like that.

00:42:29Good morning, Mr. Masterson.
00:42:32You don't have to show me who you are.
00:42:34I can tell by the smell.
00:42:36Your nose isn't that big. I want to see it.
00:42:44The chief sent us up here to ask you a couple of questions.
00:42:48Sergeant Masterson.
00:42:50The suspense is killing me. What do you want to know?
00:42:53You've been around.
00:42:55Look at that.
00:42:57Africa, Anzio, and Normandy.
00:42:59Why don't you wear that button in your coat?
00:43:01The same reason you don't wear your badge.
00:43:03I like it incognito.
00:43:06What we wanted to know, this layout told us.
00:43:09There ain't nothing you can add to it.
00:43:19She didn't get in an accident, did she?
00:43:21She's in the can for a nice long stretch.
00:43:23What's the charge?
00:43:25Violation of probation.
00:43:27Probation for what?
00:43:29Theft.
00:43:31Terms of her probation when she was released yesterday
00:43:33was that she returned to her home in Ridgeville.
00:43:35Maybe she wanted to go by train.
00:43:37Maybe she wanted to walk. There's no law that says she...
00:43:39That's not the reason she gave, wise guy.
00:43:41No? No.
00:43:43The reason she gave was that she got a job.
00:43:45Said you were her employer.
00:43:47Well, what's wrong with that?
00:43:49Nothing, if you can prove it.
00:43:51Take a tip from me, bud. Don't try it.
00:43:54Jake and me don't like to waste our time testifying in court.
00:43:57But we will.
00:43:59So long.
00:44:02Exhibit 8, bud, in case you get stubborn.
00:44:05Hey, now, wait a minute, copper.
00:44:08All right, leave her things alone.
00:44:10You want to come along, soldier?
00:44:28Little scared boy.
00:44:30You're just about to do your old pal
00:44:32a great big favor.
00:44:46How do you like the way the election's going
00:44:48this beautiful morning?
00:44:50The election's going good every morning.
00:44:52Uh, look, honey, uh...
00:44:54Miss, uh...
00:44:56St. John.
00:44:58St. John. Bobby.
00:45:00Better still.
00:45:02What can I do for you?
00:45:04In?
00:45:06In, but not yet ready to face the world.
00:45:08Won't you sit down?
00:45:10Look, uh, honey, I'm in kind of a hurry.
00:45:12Would you take a note in for me?
00:45:14When he buzzes.
00:45:16Here.
00:45:22I'll take calls now.
00:45:28Come in.
00:45:30There's a gentleman to see you.
00:45:32He says it's very important.
00:45:36Tell him I don't want to...
00:45:38Wait a minute.
00:45:42Never mind, I'll tell him myself.
00:45:54Sammy!
00:45:57Sammy.
00:45:59Sammy Masterson.
00:46:01My little Walter O'Neil.
00:46:03We were kids together, Miss St. John.
00:46:05I wouldn't have known you, Sam.
00:46:07I wouldn't have known you either, Walter O'Neil.
00:46:09I saw your picture.
00:46:11My picture? Oh, yes, yes, of course.
00:46:13I don't want to be disturbed unless it's very important.
00:46:15Yes, Mr. O'Neil.
00:46:23How long has it been?
00:46:2517, 18 years, something like that.
00:46:27That long?
00:46:29We were just kids, remember, the three of us?
00:46:31Yeah, the three of us.
00:46:33Thanks.
00:46:35What's she like, Walter?
00:46:37Beautiful. I married her.
00:46:39I know, I know. You've done all right.
00:46:41I guess so.
00:46:43And you, what have you done?
00:46:45Knocked around, seen a lot, I guess.
00:46:47You know, had some fun, maybe.
00:46:49What have you done mostly?
00:46:51Lately or mostly?
00:46:53You mean gamble?
00:46:55Sure, sure, that's my business.
00:46:57Perhaps this is where I should remark
00:46:59that all life is a gamble.
00:47:01You don't need to bother, I know it.
00:47:03Some win, some don't.
00:47:05You needn't have made that point.
00:47:07I'm sorry, Sam.
00:47:09This has been a stuffy conversation.
00:47:11Would you like a drink?
00:47:13Isn't it a little early in the morning?
00:47:15I haven't even stopped for breakfast yet.
00:47:17The occasion.
00:47:19You talked me into it.
00:47:22Nice of you to look me up, Sam.
00:47:24Well, I wouldn't have bothered you, Walter,
00:47:26only, um, I met a girl,
00:47:28and you can help.
00:47:30You don't look like
00:47:32you need help with any girl.
00:47:34Not this trip out I do.
00:47:36This kid's in jail.
00:47:38What's the charge?
00:47:40Violation of probation. Name is Tony Marachek.
00:47:42That's not easy to square, Sam.
00:47:44Oh, you can do it, and you will.
00:47:48For old times' sake.
00:47:50For old times' sake.
00:47:52Thanks.
00:47:56Excuse me.
00:48:02Mrs. O'Neil is here to see you.
00:48:04Please have her wait.
00:48:06She usually drops in on her way downtown.
00:48:08Oh, I'd like to see her.
00:48:13Have Mrs. O'Neil come in.
00:48:15Yes, sir.
00:48:20Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were busy. I'll wait.
00:48:22Hello.
00:48:24Hello.
00:48:26The name is Masterson. Sam Masterson.
00:48:28I'm sorry. I...
00:48:35Sammy Masterson.
00:48:37Oh!
00:48:39Oh! Hello.
00:48:41Well, I'll do that again. Hello.
00:48:45You should have called me.
00:48:47You just came in.
00:48:50Well, you've grown to be a big boy, Sam.
00:48:52Well, I always was big for my age, you remember?
00:48:55Yes, 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 would 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.
00:49:19Well, I've always thought of Martha as...
00:49:21You know how it is.
00:49:23You keep something in your mind since the time you were a kid.
00:49:25How long are you staying, Sam?
00:49:27That 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.
00:49:44You're a busy man, so I'll blow.
00:49:46And thanks. Thanks 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. And here's hoping you win that election.
00:50:06Thanks.
00:50:08I will.
00:50:10What, sure thing?
00:50:12Ask Martha.
00:50:14Sure. Sure thing.
00:50:16What odds you give it?
00:50:18What odds will you give that that's a fact?
00:50:35Breezy character, Sam.
00:50:37Thank 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.
00:50:46I wasn't aware of it.
00:50:48I was.
00:50:50It came as a shock.
00:50:52Yes, it did. Me too.
00:50:56Sam will never tell.
00:50:58I'll never forget you saying that.
00:51:00What makes you think he will?
00:51:02What makes you think he won't?
00:51:05How long has he been here?
00:51:07He came in last night.
00:51:09Did he tell you much about himself, where he's been, what he's been doing?
00:51:11I thought you'd ask what he wanted.
00:51:13What does he want?
00:51:15He's playing it smart.
00:51:18Sam was always a smart boy.
00:51:20All he wanted was for me to get his girl out of jail.
00:51:24His girl?
00:51:26That's what he said he wanted.
00:51:28What do you think he wants?
00:51:30What he can get.
00:51:32He's a gambler, a sharpshooter, an angle boy.
00:51:34They come through my office by the hundreds.
00:51:36Couldn't you see blackmail in his eyes?
00:51:39I haven't your experience with criminals.
00:51:42You will, when Sammy starts to shake you down.
00:51:45Release the girl. Maybe he'll just pick her up and leave.
00:51:48Leave? Do you think he'll leave a touch worth millions?
00:51:51There's only one way you'll find out.
00:51:53Release the girl.
00:51:56Goodbye, Miss St. John.
00:52:02Yes, Mr. O'Neil?
00:52:04I want a routine check on a Samuel Masterson, non-resident, registered Gable Hotel.
00:52:07Miss St. John, close the door.
00:52:09I want a routine check of all garages.
00:52:11There's one of them that has his car. Stay here, please.
00:52:13I want a check up on all local banks.
00:52:15Get that driver, Detective McCarthy, and tell him to come right over.
00:52:33Thought I might improve my mind while I waited.
00:52:36Pasmo's life of Jones?
00:52:38Surely you didn't expect to wait that long.
00:52:40I was just going to look at the pictures.
00:52:42I found your message when I got back to the hotel.
00:52:44I asked you to phone.
00:52:46I figured you wouldn't mind if I came in person.
00:52:49I figured you would.
00:52:51Why?
00:52:53You impressed me this morning as a man who would bet on anything.
00:52:55Almost anything, depending on the odds.
00:52:57I'll bet you'd like to hear the story of my life.
00:52:59What do you bet?
00:53:01My story against yours.
00:53:03You got a bet.
00:53:05Let's see, you left here September 27th, 1928.
00:53:08We'll start from there.
00:53:10The exact date? How come that's so clear in your mind?
00:53:13Why 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. I haven't been on a rubberneck tour in years.
00:53:35Soon after my aunt died, the executors of the estate
00:53:37wanted to close the house and send me to school.
00:53:39But Mr. O'Neil...
00:53:41Mister?
00:53:43You're kind of formal about your husband, aren't you?
00:53:45Oh, no, I was speaking about his father.
00:53:47Mr. O'Neil was my tutor. You remember him.
00:53:49Oh, yeah.
00:53:51After my aunt died, he and Walter lived here.
00:53:53That was cozy.
00:53:55This is Walter's room.
00:53:58Rich.
00:54:00Very rich.
00:54:02Well, you, uh...
00:54:04You 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.
00:54:11Walter's father thought it would be good for me to 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. Yes, he took care of everything.
00:54:20You didn't like that?
00:54:22Let's talk about something else.
00:54:24What do you want to talk about?
00:54:26Pick a subject.
00:54:28This is the dining room.
00:54:31All right.
00:54:33I pick Walter as my subject.
00:54:35When did you marry him?
00:54:37When or why?
00:54:39I ask when.
00:54:41When I finished school.
00:54:43All right. Now, why did you marry him?
00:54:45Pick another subject.
00:54:47It's your turn.
00:54:49You.
00:54:51An open book.
00:54:53I went out of this town with the circus, the one you were supposed to go with.
00:54:55Made friends with the animals and lived happily ever after.
00:54:57Almost.
00:54:59Yeah, I got ambitious and that tore it, but good.
00:55:03I got so I wasn't satisfied just being friendly with the animals,
00:55:05I got so I wanted to own the animals.
00:55:07So I bought some animals.
00:55:09Well, my lion got the mange and gave it to the monkeys.
00:55:12The animals became a responsibility and a liability.
00:55:14I lost all my hard-earned cash and ran like a thief out of there
00:55:17with a great yin to become friendly with people.
00:55:20On that, I had some success.
00:55:22Me 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.
00:55:31How did it feel to become a man officially?
00:55:34I felt I'd been there before.
00:55:37How did you feel about becoming a woman officially?
00:55:40I felt I'd been there, too.
00:55:49Now, this is the room that you...
00:55:52Do you remember, Sam?
00:55:54Do I?
00:55:56This is the only room I didn't change.
00:55:59It seems that only yesterday I came through that window.
00:56:02We were going to run away together that night.
00:56:05You do remember.
00:56:09Yeah.
00:56:12And it was Walter who let me in.
00:56:17I come here often, Sam.
00:56:20Little girls grow up.
00:56:22They never get through playing with dolls.
00:56:24There was a storm that night, thunder and lightning.
00:56:27I was afraid of the thunder.
00:56:29In the freight car that night, you told me you weren't.
00:56:32I didn't want you to know.
00:56:35I wanted to be like you, never afraid of anything.
00:56:38You remember that, too, don't you, Sam?
00:56:41Things come back to you.
00:56:43Don't say it like that, Sam.
00:56:45Not to make me feel good, but because it's true.
00:56:47All right, it's true.
00:56:49We were just a couple of kids.
00:56:51We're not kids now.
00:56:54No time for dreams.
00:56:57Only one dream, Sam, and it came true.
00:56:59You're here.
00:57:01So is Walter.
00:57:03About Walter and myself...
00:57:05Don't tell me.
00:57:07I want you to understand...
00:57:09I understand, Martha.
00:57:11I understood when I saw both of you together in the office.
00:57:13I watched the way he looked at you.
00:57:15I never saw a guy so nuts about anybody in my life.
00:57:17Sam, if you stay in Iverstown...
00:57:19Well, I'm not staying in Iverstown.
00:57:21All right, Sam, what do you want?
00:57:25What do I want?
00:57:27Yes, why did you come back here?
00:57:29Well, the road curved, but I didn't...
00:57:31Answer me!
00:57:33Hey, now, wait a minute.
00:57:35You sound like I have to.
00:57:37As a matter of fact, you sound just like your aunt used to.
00:57:41Don't say that to me.
00:57:43Don't ever...
00:57:45Look, baby, I won't be around long enough to repeat it.
00:57:47As soon as a certain young lady's out of your husband's clink...
00:57:49And my car's out of Dempsey's alleged garage...
00:57:52I'm headed west.
00:57:54I think you really mean that.
00:57:56Any objections?
00:57:58No. No objections.
00:58:02I should have known if I remembered.
00:58:04You should have known what?
00:58:06You.
00:58:08That you'd be like this.
00:58:10I'm sorry.
00:58:13Sorry that you ever left here.
00:58:19Sam...
00:58:21For old time's sake.
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:27Sure, for old time's sake.
00:58:39Bye, Martha.
00:58:49Dempsey's garage.
00:58:51Oh, yes, Mrs. O'Neil.
00:58:53Mrs. Walter O'Neil?
00:58:55Yes, ma'am.
00:58:59Well, it was a rush job anyway,
00:59:01and I'm rushed enough as it is.
00:59:03Don't mention it.
00:59:05Glad to be of service, Mrs. O'Neil.
00:59:08You can add this to your report.
00:59:12Miss O'Neil don't like this guy to go.
00:59:15Not yet.
00:59:18All right, Dempsey, thanks.
00:59:25Drink?
00:59:27Thanks.
00:59:29There's not much to report on him locally.
00:59:31The out-of-town reports are still coming in.
00:59:33You'll have a complete file on him in a couple of hours.
00:59:35What's he look like so far?
00:59:37He's a big-shot gambler.
00:59:39Broke many times, but always turns up with a new bankroll.
00:59:41The police in every state have tried to find the source of his money,
00:59:43but no dice.
00:59:45Many arrests, no convictions.
00:59:47Self-defense. Has 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.
01:00:17That's all.
01:00:22Yes, Mr. O'Neil?
01:00:24Get me the county jail.
01:00:26I want the superintendent of the women's division.
01:00:30Yes?
01:00:32I have the county jail for you, Mr. O'Neil.
01:00:34Deputy Elizabeth Baker is on.
01:00:36Hello.
01:00:38That girl, the one I called you about before.
01:00:40Yes.
01:00:42Bring her out here at 8.
01:00:44I want to talk to her.
01:00:47You got the time, bud?
01:00:49Yeah, it's 5 after 8.
01:00:51Thanks.
01:00:53I'm expecting my friend out in a few minutes.
01:00:55Say, I ain't seen your face around here before.
01:00:57No, I'm a stranger here.
01:00:59Then you ain't waiting for anybody, huh?
01:01:01No.
01:01:03She's a stranger, too.
01:01:05She was due out a couple of hours ago.
01:01:17You're in a lot of trouble, Miss Marchek.
01:01:19The law is very specific on violation of probation.
01:01:22It's specific about everything.
01:01:24You're serving a five-year sentence.
01:01:26So I was told once before.
01:01:28You lied when you were picked up.
01:01:30You told the police you were employed by Sam Masterson.
01:01:32You think they would have believed me if I had told the truth?
01:01:34Did you cook up that story between you?
01:01:36He had nothing to do with it.
01:01:38You're very fond of him, aren't you?
01:01:40You wouldn't want anything to happen to him.
01:01:42Does he feel the same about you?
01:01:44You wouldn't want to serve out that five-year sentence, would you?
01:01:48What are you getting at?
01:01:50Remember, five years.
01:01:52And this time, you'll have to serve every day of it.
01:01:56You don't have to.
01:01:59All right, get down to it.
01:02:01What do I have to do?
01:02:14Tony!
01:02:17Tony.
01:02:20Tony.
01:02:22Hello, Sam.
01:02:24O'Neal phoned me, told me you'd be out at 6.
01:02:26O'Neal?
01:02:28Yeah, sure, the district attorney. He's an old friend of mine.
01:02:30I asked him to do me a favor, and here you are.
01:02:32You're late, but free.
01:02:34There was a mix-up. They lost some papers.
01:02:36Oh, really?
01:02:38Yeah.
01:02:40I don't know.
01:02:42There was a mix-up. They lost some papers.
01:02:44Oh, I got worried about you.
01:02:46What's the matter, kid?
01:02:48Tony.
01:02:50Look at me.
01:02:52I'd like a drink.
01:02:54Oh, you're a cincher by a dozen.
01:02:56Hey, taxi!
01:02:58I'm going to toss you a real coming-out party. Hey, taxi!
01:03:01Taxi!
01:03:11Thanks.
01:03:15Spaghetti.
01:03:21Mmm, that looks wonderful.
01:03:23I 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.
01:03:37Forget it now. You're out.
01:03:39If you'd ever been in, you'd know what I mean.
01:03:41I 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.
01:03:56I want to be sure you understand.
01:03:59It's a long joke.
01:04:01It's forever.
01:04:03I did three months before I came to trial.
01:04:05It can happen to the best of people.
01:04:07I'm not the best of people.
01:04:09I'm just Tony Marachek.
01:04:13Where'd you get the fur coat, Tony?
01:04:15The judge asked me.
01:04:17I met a guy, I told him.
01:04:19He said he was in love with me.
01:04:21He gave me the coat.
01:04:23A likely story, he said.
01:04:25I said, but it's true, every word of it.
01:04:27I tried to pawn it because I needed the money.
01:04:29Where's the man he has?
01:04:31I don't know, I said he...
01:04:33He took a powdery, he blew, he flew to the moon.
01:04:37You don't fly, Tony, the judge says.
01:04:40The charges, theft, you do one to five.
01:04:44Well, how come they gave you probation?
01:04:47First offense.
01:04:49You know what probation is.
01:04:51Yeah, sure. Knife sticking in your back.
01:04:57Still looking out for the cops?
01:04:59Relax, now you're free.
01:05:01I don't feel so good.
01:05:03You want me to take you back to the hotel?
01:05:05Oh, no, no, please.
01:05:07Let me sit here a while.
01:05:17Now?
01:05:21Get your coat on, it's a gag.
01:05:23Get your coat.
01:05:25What's a gag?
01:05:27I was up to your hotel.
01:05:29Nice layout you got there.
01:05:31Double rooms, connecting doors and tall glasses.
01:05:33What did this guy tell you he'd give you when he picked you up?
01:05:35All right, Joe, there don't have to be any trouble for getting...
01:05:37She's my wife.
01:05:44Oh, brother, you can have her.
01:05:46In spades.
01:05:50Now beat it, you two.
01:05:53I just want to make sure...
01:05:55Joe, there don't have to be no trouble.
01:05:57No, there don't have to be no trouble.
01:05:59There's got to be.
01:06:01Certain wise guys have to be taught a lesson.
01:06:03Certain wise guys...
01:06:05Where do you want it, here or outside?
01:06:07Outside will do me fine.
01:06:09There's an alley through the kitchen door.
01:06:11Sam.
01:06:13Shut up.
01:06:19Stay here.
01:06:23Stay here.
01:06:45Okay, sister, you did a swell job.
01:06:49Now blow.
01:06:52Yes, sir.
01:07:22Joe.
01:07:52Joe.
01:08:23What happened to you?
01:08:25Not a thing.
01:08:27Just made up for Halloween.
01:08:53Come on.
01:08:55Come on.
01:09:22Go ahead, bud, you'll catch the next one.
01:09:25Oh, cut that.
01:09:27Crime's not going to get you anywhere.
01:09:29I'll stop.
01:09:31I ought to beat it out of you.
01:09:33I think maybe I got it coming.
01:09:35Why? Why? Why?
01:09:37Last night in that restaurant, I kept trying to tell you...
01:09:39Come on, get down to it.
01:09:41Before they let me out, they took me to the DA's office.
01:09:43O'Neal? His name's Walter O'Neal?
01:09:45Yeah, that's right, that's his name.
01:09:47All right, they took you to his office.
01:09:49He asked me a lot of questions.
01:09:51He asked me a lot of questions.
01:09:53He asked me a lot of questions, mostly about you.
01:09:55Not me.
01:09:57About you and me.
01:09:59He kept asking me if I knew why you came here.
01:10:01He asked me that a couple of times.
01:10:03What else?
01:10:05A lot of questions, I forget.
01:10:07My head's mixed up.
01:10:09Well, the goons, the ones who worked me over.
01:10:11They just wanted to scare you.
01:10:13O'Neal doesn't want you in town.
01:10:15They said if I didn't play with them, I'd go back to jail.
01:10:17Who said that, O'Neal?
01:10:19No, no, the other man, Mr. O'Neal, wasn't there by then.
01:10:22No more parole, they said, if I went for it.
01:10:24I'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.
01:10:43I'm going back to town.
01:10:45They don't want you here, Sam, I 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.
01:10:59Kid, I'll tell you what you do.
01:11:05You grab the next bus out and I'll meet you wherever you say.
01:11:09I'll go back with you.
01:11:13Good.
01:11:15I wanted you to say that.
01:11:21Just a moment, sir.
01:11:23Take me to Mr. O'Neal and you won't get hurt.
01:11:25Yes, Mr. Matheson.
01:11:27I hardly recognize you, sir.
01:11:33Tell your man to ask Martha to come down here.
01:11:36Tell Mrs. O'Neal that, John.
01:11:46I thought we ought to have a talk.
01:11:49We'll kick off first, your team or mine.
01:11:51You look terrible, Sam.
01:11:53Have a drink.
01:11:55Thanks.
01:11:57Have a drink.
01:11:59Thanks.
01:12:08Thank you.
01:12:27A report on Sam Matheson.
01:12:47Here, take this.
01:12:49I'm two up on you.
01:12:51Thanks.
01:12:53You're out of shape, Walter.
01:12:55For a minute there I thought you were dead.
01:12:57I was.
01:12:59I wasn't going to shoot.
01:13:01I wasn't going to wait and see.
01:13:03Come on.
01:13:07I took a gander at this while you were out.
01:13:11I could have given you a much more detailed picture
01:13:13on Sam Matheson.
01:13:15I didn't know you cared.
01:13:18You know it and I know it.
01:13:21You know it now.
01:13:25Now I'll let Martha give it to you.
01:13:27Give him what, Sam?
01:13:29The facts concerning a guy called Sam Matheson
01:13:31and his attitudes towards life and love.
01:13:33Walter's got the wrong ideas.
01:13:35Sam, you're hurt.
01:13:37You ought to see the other guy.
01:13:39What happened?
01:13:41This. It 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.
01:14:00Walter.
01:14:02Blackmail.
01:14:04I said blackmail.
01:14:06Now what is the price?
01:14:08Remember, you're dealing with two old friends.
01:14:10Well, uh, which one of you do I deal with?
01:14:12With me.
01:14:14Be at my office at the plant at 3.
01:14:16Okay.
01:14:20May the deal be profitable.
01:14:22To all of us.
01:14:24Whatever the price is, that's it, Sam.
01:14:26Don't try this again.
01:14:28What happened last night can happen again.
01:14:30And worse.
01:14:32Don't try it, sweetheart.
01:14:34I make this a flat statement.
01:14:38I'll kill you.
01:14:40Hold your hand under the water.
01:14:48Now dry your hand.
01:14:54This will hurt.
01:14:58Even pain at your hands.
01:15:02I'm sorry, Walter.
01:15:04I didn't mean to hurt you.
01:15:07Even 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.
01:15:19He'd 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.
01:15:33Even a call to Dempsey's garage.
01:15:37Sam's leaving Iverston today.
01:15:39That's what he said.
01:15:41I want to hear you say it.
01:15:43It's up to him.
01:15:45No, it's up to you.
01:15:47I know you, Martha.
01:15:49You are my life's work.
01:15:51I've studied you all these years.
01:15:53A little girl in a cage waiting for someone to let her out.
01:15:55And along comes Sam.
01:15:57Do you know what's on my mind, Martha?
01:15:59About Sam, I mean.
01:16:01I think I do.
01:16:03But 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?
01:16:35What do you mean?
01:16:37Is she pretty?
01:16:39She's beautiful.
01:16:41That's why I can't figure out why should a beautiful rich girl
01:16:43stay married to a guy she's not in love with.
01:16:45How do you know that?
01:16:47I know.
01:16:49You sound like you're in love with her.
01:16:51You sound like you're jealous.
01:16:55Could be.
01:16:59When are we leaving?
01:17:01This evening, if the car's ready.
01:17:03Until then.
01:17:05I know, why don't we find out what happened to your people?
01:17:07Yeah.
01:17:09It'll be simple.
01:17:11Now I know I left town September 27th, 1928.
01:17:13The exact date, how come you remember it?
01:17:15Wouldn't you remember a date,
01:17:17the exact date about something that happened that long ago?
01:17:19No, not unless something terrific happened that day.
01:17:21Yeah.
01:17:23Come on, let's finish your coffee.
01:17:25We'll go down to the newspaper morgue.
01:17:27The morgue?
01:17:29Yeah, I think I can find out about my people down there.
01:17:31Afterwards, we'll take you shopping.
01:17:39That was a strange case.
01:17:41Went unsolved for years.
01:17:43Then one day they picked up a guy
01:17:45who stuck up a garage or something.
01:17:47Someone who used to work at old lady Ivor's house.
01:17:51Came out at the trial that he was the one
01:17:53that knocked the old lady off.
01:17:55It's my favorite case.
01:17:57Here's a picture of the guy.
01:18:00Doesn't look like her that much, does he?
01:18:02Yeah, kind of a scared little rabbit.
01:18:04I watched him all through the trial.
01:18:06Never had a chance.
01:18:08O'Neil really did a job on him.
01:18:10Is that Walter O'Neil?
01:18:12Yep, same guy.
01:18:14He was kind of dramatic though.
01:18:16Him being engaged to the niece of the murdered woman.
01:18:18He sure did a job.
01:18:20Jury was unanimous.
01:18:22What happened to him?
01:18:24Oh, they hung him.
01:18:26Interesting, eh?
01:18:28It's all in the files there. Go ahead, read it.
01:18:30Thanks, 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, didn't you know that?
01:18:54Good executives don't.
01:18:56You're good.
01:18:58I am.
01:19:04It catches it, 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,
01:19:25leaning on her cane.
01:19:27I don't want to talk about it.
01:19:29Okay, okay.
01:19:31You look different than you did this morning.
01:19:33Clean and fresh.
01:19:35Yeah.
01:19:37Well, it's the perfume I use that makes me smell so nice.
01:19:39I bet I smell as nice as you and Walter put together.
01:19:43What do you want?
01:19:45I think I've got what I want.
01:19:47I think I've got a gimmick.
01:19:49A gimmick is an angle that works for you,
01:19:51to keep you from working too hard for yourself.
01:19:53Simple.
01:19:55Specifically, what is your angle?
01:19:57Specifically?
01:19:59Half.
01:20:01Half of what?
01:20:03You tell me.
01:20:05All right, Sam.
01:20:09Come here.
01:20:14My father used to work here as a mill hand.
01:20:16So did my father,
01:20:18when he was sober.
01:20:20Now I own it.
01:20:23Now I'm even.
01:20:25I was 21 when I took it over.
01:20:27It had 3,000 workers then.
01:20:29It's got 30,000 now.
01:20:31Ran as far as that gate.
01:20:33Now it goes down to the edge of the river.
01:20:35And I did it all by myself.
01:20:37Without Walter, without his father.
01:20:39All by myself.
01:20:42Half of this should make quite a score.
01:20:47Half would make you my partner.
01:20:50That's what I had in mind.
01:20:53You went out of here a dirty little kid once before,
01:20:55that can happen again.
01:20:57I don't have to give you anything if I don't want to.
01:20:59But you do want to.
01:21:11Hey, Tommy!
01:21:13Come in here, quick!
01:21:18Yes, Sam?
01:21:20Make a wish.
01:21:22I wouldn't shop in here.
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.
01:21:48I'm funny that way.
01:21:50I say what's on my mind.
01:21:52You walk down the street and that girl asks you for a cigarette.
01:21:54And imagine the time.
01:21:56Life is funny.
01:21:58That's philosophy.
01:22:00It's good, too.
01:22:02You want to know how it is with me, Sam?
01:22:04No, tell me.
01:22:06I told you.
01:22:08And even if it's over, quick.
01:22:10Look, what you don't know, don't talk about.
01:22:13I bought a new outfit.
01:22:15I want to show you.
01:22:17Well, let's take a look at it.
01:22:19$8.95.
01:22:21How do you like it?
01:22:23With you in it, it...
01:22:25Hello, Sam.
01:22:27Tony.
01:22:29Yes, Sam?
01:22:31I heard you talking.
01:22:33Even a crummy hotel like this has a switchboard.
01:22:35I have special privileges in this hotel, Sam.
01:22:39I own it.
01:22:41I own it.
01:22:43It's Miss O'Neil, Tony.
01:22:45Hello.
01:22:47So this is the girl.
01:22:49Tony is my name.
01:22:51Antonia Marachek.
01:22:53The sun suit looks very well on her, Sam.
01:22:55She's got just the figure for it.
01:22:57She's a very pretty girl.
01:22:59I give another show at 8 o'clock.
01:23:01In your room or here?
01:23:05Tony.
01:23:07Yes, Sam?
01:23:10I'm sorry she said that.
01:23:12I'm sorry I said that.
01:23:14Okay, forget it.
01:23:16Tony.
01:23:18Yes, Sam?
01:23:20I'm going out with Miss O'Neil on business.
01:23:22That's why you came here, isn't it?
01:23:24Yes.
01:23:26I'll be back after a little while.
01:23:28I got no place to go.
01:23:30I'll be here.
01:23:34I didn't like that.
01:23:36I apologize.
01:23:38If you want me to say anything else to her...
01:23:40You spoke your piece.
01:23:42Let's get out of here.
01:23:44I'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, scotch on the dresser.
01:23:54Let's stay here, Sam.
01:23:56No.
01:23:58Why not? We can order our dinner here.
01:24:00I don't like room service.
01:24:02All right, Sam.
01:24:04Come on, let's go.
01:24:08What's your Tony Marachek really like?
01:24:10That'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.
01:24:26When?
01:24:28Now.
01:24:30Now and then.
01:24:32Now?
01:24:34Now and then.
01:24:42Well, 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,
01:24:54and Bibles.
01:24:56And we don't like some of the same people
01:24:58and places.
01:25:01Well, that all sounds like a very substantial beginning.
01:25:05How long have you known her, really?
01:25:07Since the day before yesterday.
01:25:09How long have you known me?
01:25:11Martha, I'm not sure
01:25:13that I've ever known you.
01:25:15What do you say?
01:25:17Let's get down to business.
01:25:19Let's get out of here.
01:25:23Waiter!
01:25:25Yes, sir.
01:25:27Check, please.
01:25:29Whiskey and soda.
01:25:35Thank you, sir.
01:25:37Wait outside.
01:25:39Sam, what is it?
01:25:41Wait outside.
01:25:55Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
01:25:57Give that back to him when he sobers up.
01:25:59Tell him I run an honest book.
01:26:01I always pay off.
01:26:10Thought I told you to wait outside.
01:26:12I wanted to see.
01:26:14You saw.
01:26:16You wanted to kill him, didn't you?
01:26:18Yes, I did.
01:26:24This the spot?
01:26:27I like your car.
01:26:31You know what happened to Lott's wife when she looked back, don't you?
01:26:33What?
01:26:35She was turned into a pillar of salt.
01:26:37What happened to Lott?
01:26:39He got away. He didn't look back.
01:26:41You know your Bible.
01:26:43You would, too, if you spent as much time as I did in hotel rooms.
01:26:45I'll take it up.
01:26:47Come on, let's get out of here.
01:26:49I love to watch the city from this spot.
01:26:51Up here doesn't even look real, does it?
01:26:53It's real, very real.
01:26:55Owning it gives you a sense of power.
01:26:57You'd know what I meant if you had it.
01:26:59Ivers, Ivers, Ivers.
01:27:01Ivers.
01:27:03If anyone asked me my name now, I'd say it was Martha Smith.
01:27:07I smell smoke.
01:27:09Better take a look.
01:27:21Must have been some kids up here.
01:27:23Sam, don't. Let it burn.
01:27:25We used to come up here when we were kids and build a fire.
01:27:29Oh.
01:27:31Let it burn, Sam.
01:27:34Okay.
01:27:43In those days, we used to think that this was real.
01:27:46And that...
01:27:49That didn't even exist.
01:27:52Just now you looked like Martha Smith.
01:27:55If only you hadn't run away.
01:27:57Well, I waited for you.
01:27:59I remember I waited a long time in the rain, but you didn't show.
01:28:02Give me a cigarette, Sam.
01:28:05If only you hadn't left town.
01:28:07I had no one to turn to.
01:28:11What did you say, Sam?
01:28:13Nothing, I didn't say anything.
01:28:15When I found out, it was too late.
01:28:17Much too late.
01:28:19One thing led to another and...
01:28:23Another what?
01:28:26I don't want to talk about it anymore.
01:28:28Oh, go ahead, Martha. Do your good.
01:28:30Another what?
01:28:32Where 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.
01:28:45When I left at the cane, why didn't you stop me?
01:28:48You knew how much I hated her. Why didn't you stop me?
01:28:50I wasn't there, Martha.
01:28:52And then I stood there afterwards.
01:28:59You...
01:29:02You weren't there?
01:29:04No, Martha.
01:29:06I wasn't there. I left when your aunt came into the hallway.
01:29:09I didn't want to stick around. I was in enough trouble as it was.
01:29:12I never saw what happened.
01:29:15I never knew until tonight about your aunt or that man.
01:29:18The one they hung.
01:29:20The man that you and Walter killed.
01:29:45Dad.
01:30:09Sam, help me. Help me.
01:30:12All right, Martha.
01:30:15Follow me. Talk.
01:30:18All right, Sam.
01:30:22I never imagined anyone could die so quickly.
01:30:26I'd always supposed that wherever I went, she would be with me.
01:30:28That she would never die.
01:30:31But it wasn't like that.
01:30:34I expected to find her when I went back to my room.
01:30:38Later, I became frightened.
01:30:41The coroner and the police were sympathetic.
01:30:43They talked very attentive.
01:30:46They believed my story, the one I told Walter's father.
01:30:51That night, I slept happily.
01:30:54Peacefully.
01:30:56How did you sleep the night after they hung that man?
01:30:59It wasn't long when I found out why Walter's father believed my story.
01:31:02It was as if my aunt had never died. He took her place.
01:31:07He wanted to make something of his son, and I was tied to them both from that time on.
01:31:09It 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 that I was crazy with fear.
01:31:21He used that fear well.
01:31:24To increase it, he made me part of another crime.
01:31:28My testimony sent an innocent man to the gallows.
01:31:33And he used that to make me marry Walter.
01:31:36Sam, you're not going to go away again.
01:31:39I want you here, Sam.
01:31:42I've lived so much inside of myself, so choked with wanting something else that lives and breathes.
01:31:45So desperate for air and room to breathe in it.
01:31:48Oh, Sam, please.
01:31:51Stay here, Sam.
01:32:05Hi, Mother.
01:32:36Tony? Are you still up?
01:32:40Tony?
01:32:43Yes?
01:32:46It's me. It's Sam. Can I come in?
01:32:49Yes, Sam.
01:32:55Mind if I put your light on?
01:32:58Yes, in a little while.
01:33:01I was sound asleep. I've got a headache.
01:33:03Okay.
01:33:07I've got something to tell you, Tony.
01:33:10Yes, Sam.
01:33:29Tony.
01:33:32Tony.
01:33:40You're crying.
01:33:43You're crying because you saw...
01:33:46You were at the window there when we drove up.
01:33:51Well, that's what I came in to tell you about, Tony.
01:33:54The moth and the...
01:33:57You didn't have to, Sam.
01:33:59There are no strings on this deal.
01:34:02Well, that's why I wanted to.
01:34:05You see, it... It started a long way back.
01:34:08I... I don't know yet how it's going to finish.
01:34:11What do you want me to say?
01:34:14I don't know.
01:34:17What do you want me to do?
01:34:20I don't know.
01:34:23All you have to do is tell me the truth.
01:34:26Like you did when those goons worked me over.
01:34:29Now I'm beat up.
01:34:32I'm sorry I said that, Tony.
01:34:37Look, kid.
01:34:40I'm sore at myself, not at you.
01:34:43Do you want me to leave?
01:34:46Do you want to leave?
01:34:49That's up to you, Sam.
01:34:52I'm here on a rain check.
01:34:55Now, don't put it that way. You're here because...
01:34:57That's the way we wanted it.
01:35:00And now?
01:35:03I'm not sure.
01:35:06I'm just not sure.
01:35:09Hello, Gable Hotel.
01:35:12I want to speak to Sam Masterson.
01:35:15Put that phone down.
01:35:18Hello, Sam. This is Walter.
01:35:21I know I'm not disturbing you.
01:35:24Martha just came in.
01:35:27I'm sorry, Sam.
01:35:30I don't know what to say.
01:35:33I'm sorry.
01:35:36I don't know what to say.
01:35:39Well, what do you want?
01:35:42I want you to come up here. Now. Right now.
01:35:45Are you crazy? The service...
01:35:48You're drunk.
01:35:51I've had a lot to drink, but I'm not drunk.
01:35:54I suppose it'd be stupid to ask where you were.
01:35:57Yes, it would.
01:36:00Ask him when he gets here.
01:36:03Then there are no more questions.
01:36:06No. I know what I need to know.
01:36:09I'm the Superman.
01:36:12Sam, the dirty little boy from the other side of the tracks.
01:36:15I'll go and change.
01:36:18I wouldn't want him to see me in the same dress twice.
01:36:26Come in.
01:36:33Toni.
01:36:36You're leaving, huh?
01:36:38Toni...
01:36:41Sam, it's better this way.
01:36:45Look...
01:36:48Sam, I came back here with you because
01:36:51you said you didn't like to be pushed around.
01:36:54I liked you when you said that.
01:36:57You were looking for trouble, but it was a good kind of trouble.
01:37:00And now...
01:37:03Sam, I saw her. You're going to get hurt.
01:37:06Leave her, Sam. Leave this town.
01:37:09Even without me, but leave.
01:37:12I can't. At least not just yet.
01:37:18You're going to need some money.
01:37:21No, thanks. Let's break clean.
01:37:30See you around.
01:37:33Yeah.
01:37:36Around.
01:37:45Where's Martha?
01:37:48Upstairs, getting dressed for the occasion.
01:37:51I'll go upstairs.
01:37:56Why did you call me?
01:37:59I've got a riddle, Sam. Maybe you can help me solve it.
01:38:02It's a little riddle called, What's to be done about me?
01:38:04Martha and you.
01:38:08Sounds just like a poem.
01:38:11If it rhymed, it would rhyme with murder.
01:38:23He's drunk. He's been sitting here drinking all night.
01:38:27Draw a chalk line and I'll walk it.
01:38:30Or I'll take a mental test. Any question like,
01:38:32what is my object in life?
01:38:35I tried to stop him from calling you.
01:38:38You're a wiseacre. An angle boy.
01:38:41You know all the answers, don't you? How are you on dreams?
01:38:44And I was glad he called you. I was frightened of him, Sam.
01:38:47She was frightened of me.
01:38:50I had a dream, Sam, that was about you.
01:38:53In my dream, you were not a handsome corpse.
01:38:56Maybe it was some other guy. In other dreams, there were others.
01:38:59I told you he's drunk.
01:39:02He's lying.
01:39:05Poor little Martha. Her life was so empty. Is that what she told you, Sam?
01:39:08I don't want him in here, Sam. Make him get out.
01:39:11Now you're all of them, Sam. Every one of them rolled into one.
01:39:14Sam, make him... Keep talking. I'm all of them rolled into one.
01:39:17Yes.
01:39:20You're a gymnasium instructor in Philadelphia.
01:39:23With a muscle for a brain and a tendency to insipid verse.
01:39:26You're a guy, just a guy named Pete and Erie, who smells of fish and sings.
01:39:29You're last year's greatest fullback and you flunked your bar exam.
01:39:32But you wanted to be an industrial engineer.
01:39:35You're a guy who came along to fix a tire so well,
01:39:38you became a city paid inspector. And you're a lot of others.
01:39:41But worst of all, you're the one and only man who shares with me
01:39:44the only claim I have on her.
01:39:47Ask her, Sam. Say to her, Martha's all is true.
01:39:50What if it is? What did you expect? She never wanted to marry you.
01:39:53If you had any self-respect...
01:39:56She married me because she felt that way. I would never tell.
01:39:59That's a lie. Your old man forced her. How long do you expect her to go on paying off?
01:40:02Whatever happens to you, you've got coming.
01:40:05What can happen, Sam? Shall 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 gavel.
01:40:15I told you the way it was. It was his father's idea. He made...
01:40:18Did she tell you how she stood up in the police station?
01:40:20How she looked at the man without batting an eye?
01:40:22How she said, yes, that's the man.
01:40:24He's the one who came into the house that night.
01:40:26He'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. And so did I.
01:40:40He's lying. You 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.
01:40:50Tell what a threat it was to the power and the riches that you'd learned to love so much.
01:40:53That I'd learned to love too.
01:40:56Tell why I became district attorney.
01:40:59Tell why you made me hang that man. Tell the truth.
01:41:00I told the truth. They were like leeches, both of them.
01:41:02They wanted everything. All I ever wanted was you.
01:41:04Everything you are, everything you have, I gave you.
01:41:06You gave me nothing. Then go!
01:41:14You're insane.
01:41:17You're out of your mind.
01:41:19Me too.
01:41:22You see, Sam, how close we really are to each other.
01:41:25Don't break up our happy home.
01:41:27It'll have to be you or me.
01:41:28And unless you do it now, it'll be you.
01:41:43You mustn't think I'm drunk. I'm not.
01:41:47It's just that I'm sick.
01:41:51Inside of me, I'm sick.
01:41:54Martha, help me.
01:41:57Please.
01:42:07Sam, you believe me, don't you?
01:42:12I don't believe you.
01:42:15I don't believe you.
01:42:17I don't believe you.
01:42:19I don't believe you.
01:42:21I don't believe you.
01:42:22I don't believe you.
01:42:42Now, Sam. Do it now.
01:42:44Set me free. Set both of us free.
01:42:46He fell down the stairs and fractured a skull.
01:42:49That's how he died. Everybody knows what a heavy drinker he was.
01:42:51I don't want him getting away.
01:42:52Oh, Sam, it can't be so easy.
01:43:22I thought you loved me.
01:43:50I thought I did, too.
01:43:52Now you hate me.
01:43:54Now I'm sorry for you.
01:43:57And I dreamed about you coming back.
01:44:00Your 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.
01:44:12And you'd help me.
01:44:13So sick that you don't even know the difference between right and wrong anymore.
01:44:17You'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.
01:44:38You 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.
01:45:13You 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, and for what?
01:45:27What 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, given thousands of people work.
01:45:38What was he?
01:45:39Another human being.
01:45:40Someone 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.
01:45:49Sam.
01:45:53Sam's going away.
01:45:57Did you hear what I said, Walter?
01:45:59Yes, I heard you.
01:46:01We can't let him go, can we?
01:46:08Martha's waiting for your answer, Walter.
01:46:10We'd always be afraid of him. We couldn't live that way.
01:46:13We'd be fools to let him go, knowing so much about us.
01:46:16You may have a little trouble squaring this one.
01:46:18You 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.
01:46:23That's what the law says, doesn't it, Walter?
01:46:34You can hold up, Walter.
01:46:36I'm a man with a police record.
01:46:47It's a perfect case if you can get Walter to be your witness.
01:46:53Do you want to bet?
01:47:00I feel sorry for you.
01:47:03Both of you.
01:47:30You love him.
01:47:32I hate him.
01:47:33That's why you dropped the gun.
01:47:35I was afraid.
01:47:37For the first time in my life, I was afraid.
01:47:40I felt you'd no longer stand by me.
01:47:43That you'd leave me.
01:47:46No, Martha, I won't leave you.
01:47:49I love you.
01:47:52I love you.
01:47:56Don't cry, Martha.
01:47:58It's not your fault.
01:48:01It isn't, is it, Walter?
01:48:03No.
01:48:04Not mine, no.
01:48:05Not my father's, nor your aunt's.
01:48:07It's not anyone's fault.
01:48:09It's just the way things are.
01:48:11It's what people want and how hard they want it.
01:48:15How hard it is for them to get it.
01:48:19He's near the gate.
01:48:23I'm glad he's going.
01:48:25He'll always be here.
01:48:27No, he won't, Walter, he won't.
01:48:29And 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.
01:48:37Just like...
01:48:40Just like nothing ever happened.
01:48:44Just like nothing ever happened.
01:48:49Will you kiss me, Martha?
01:48:53Will you kiss me, Martha?
01:49:03You believe me?
01:49:24Iris, Iris, Iris.
01:49:28No.
01:49:31No, Martha Smith.
01:49:53No.
01:50:24I missed a bus once and I was lucky.
01:50:28I wanted to see if I could be...
01:50:31Lucky twice.
01:50:40Don't look back, baby.
01:50:42Don't ever look back.
01:50:45You know what happened to Locke's wife, don't you?
01:50:47Whose wife?
01:50:49Sam's wife.
01:50:52Sam's wife.
01:50:56Sam's wife.
