All language subtitles for Ironside s03e17 Eden Is The Place We Leave

No, I call this house, too. And the gym.
Yesterday, last night, this morning.

I don't know where he is.

Okay, if you hear, call me.

Thanks.

Who was it this time?

Lunch girl, Betty. Betty Wallace. She's
been calling all over the place. Nobody

seems to know where he is.

He'll show up. He's been missing since
the fight. That's two nights ago. What

kind of pie do you call this?

Coconut custard, like you want it. Can't
you tell?

That good a detective no one is.

I know the chief's his sponsor, but I
didn't know you and he were such good

friends. I started working out in the
same gym a couple of weeks ago. He's a

real nice guy.

Giving a few dollars toward bringing a
talented young fellow from Samoa for

schooling in San Francisco does not make
me his sponsor.

There were at least 20 others in on it.
But who cast the hat?

Well, don't worry. He's probably with
some of their Samoan family. There are

hundreds of them in the city.

Well, the Samoans have been calling each
other. They don't know where he is.

Floyd's a good photographer. He's
probably off somewhere taking pictures.

more coffee?

For two days?

The Samoans have no sense of time.

Just happy -go -lucky children of evil.

Chief Ironside's office?

Yes, he is.

Chief? It's Floyd.

Hello?

Where are you calling from?

What about?

Sure, no need for that.

We'll meet you.

Pacific Moon, 20 minutes.

Pacific Moon?

It's the restaurant.

They serve superb coconut pie.

Oh, just coffee, Woods.

I'll have some coconut pie and coffee.

Raisin, raspberry, passion fruit, and
dutch apple. Dutch apple?

Coconut. Rum cake and cheese blintzes.

Coconut pie.

Ran out for lunch.

Three fingers of bourbon and aspirin.

Hello, Pa.

Hello, Mark.

Sit down.

Thank you.

We haven't heard from you in almost four
months.

I read about you all the time in the
newspapers.

And for Mark at the gym.

Mr. Ironside, you remember my uncle Tua
in Samoa?

He is the pastor of our church?

Very well.

Great fisherman.

Even better preacher.

I got a letter from him four days ago.

He says that in our village the people
still sing songs about the Navy officer

who helped them build roads.

In the middle of a terrible war, those
were very peaceful days for me, Lloyd.

Mr. Ironside helped to make the church
for my uncle.

The walls are very thick.

And when the storm comes, we go there to
hide from the wind.

My uncle sends his love to you, Mr.
Ironside.

When you write, keep in mind.

Oh, you want something?

No, no, thank you.

Thank you.

Was that all you wanted to see me about?

That you got a letter from your uncle?

No.

Well.

Shaw.

The fighter in the hospital.

What if he dies?

It would be a great tragedy.

And I killed him.

Accidents happen.

There was no accident.

I knew I should have stopped.

But I couldn't.

Why not?

I don't know.

You just got carried away.

I hate it.

I do.

I don't know how I hate it.

So just give it up.

You're a good photographer, Lloyd.

Stick to that.

I cannot. Oh, yes, you can. Just quit.

I cannot.

Why not?

I have to go.

Thank you for coming to talk, Mr.
Ironside.

Mr. Ironside, I was wondering, tonight
at my house,

my people are giving a party for the
victory. Will you come? You win, Mark?

It would be a pleasure.

Six o 'clock?

We'll be there.

Thank you.

What's bugging you? It's like he wanted
to tell you something and couldn't come

out with it.

That thing's eating him up inside.

What?

Rage? Blind rage.

Well, hello, Lloyd.

Hello, Mr. Ironside.

Mark. It's a party.

Any palisade?

Yes, sir. All you can eat.

But our matai has not come yet.

What's palisade?

Coconut cream. Real coconut cream. Baked
in taro leaves.

There it is.

Lloyd. Lloyd, I got some good news.
Great news.

This is Mr.

Robert Ironside.

My manager, Bucky Crawford.

I just got a call from L .A. A firm
offer.

Fifteen thousand bucks. You against
Frankie Loper five weeks from now.

Well, what do you say?

So what do you say?

Loper's the door to the big time.

Excuse me.

I've seen Loper fight.

He's made the order for your style.

Slow, easy to hit.

Too easy.

Someone will hurt him someday.

Really hurt him.

Why, my son.

Sir? It was an excellent fight. I'm
proud of you.

Thank you.

You know Mr.

Ironside? Of course.

Welcome to... Good to see you again,
sir. This is Mr. Mark Sanger.

How do you do, sir?

Excuse me, please.

Let's go outside.

You didn't come

in my dressing room after the fight.

I couldn't.

I telephoned you here, but they said
that you were gone and nobody knew where

you were.

I just wanted to be alone.

Oh, you've got to stop fighting.

But then what will I do, Betty?

Where will I go?

Home.

To Samoa.

Not without you.

No.

The money you got from the fight, you
said you'd get about $5 ,000?

Well, use it.

We'll go away.

Back to your village. It's the only
place you'll ever be happy.

Do you really want me, Lloyd?

In my village, the huts go all the way
down to the sea.

Nearby, there's a little cape with a
beach at the end.

My father made a hut there once.

And I lived there when I was a small
boy.

Anywhere. Anywhere as long as I'm with
you.

The blue of the sea goes far, far out.

And becomes the blue of the sky.

And when the sun sets, the sky and the
sea become all red and pink and gold.

And the waves are quiet.

As if everything God made was saying,
thank you for another happy day.

And then the stars come.

So many.

bright.

It is like God smiling, and the night is
bright with his joy.

You would be so happy there, Betty.

No, I... So we are only a matter, a
total lafonga.

Because we have guests here tonight who
do not speak our language, we will make

a lafonga in English.

The first lafonga is from CIOC.

and his wife.

Thank you, Seous.

He must have kept an old spell.

It's expected of him, of all of them.

The Matai doesn't even have to ask.

And next, the Lafonga from Vili.

We give what we can, Vili.

I am pleased with your gift.

And next is the Lafonga from Loy.

Mr.

Crawford has told us of the new offer
you had to fight. You have brought great

honor to us in a strange land, Loy.

You will bring more honor. You will
please us to accept this offer.

We know that you will work hard and win.

Loy. We await your answer.

I will do what my Matai wishes.

I will accept the fight.

Lion!

You have not made your Lafonga.

I don't get it.

How can you force somebody to turn over
his whole paycheck?

What is it? Is it some kind of a
shakedown?

Lafonga is a gift -giving.

There's no force involved except the
force of habit.

A thousand years of obedience to their
matiz.

Why doesn't Lloyd just say, I've got my
girl, I want a life of my own with her,

so get off my back?

He wants to, but he can't.

Samoans think of themselves as a unit,
like a clan.

They depend on it. They get their lives
from it.

Without the clan, Loy has no identity.

So he buries his personal feelings and
abides by the system.

I'd blow my stack.

Well, Loy is about to. He's like a bomb
ready to go off.

How can we get in touch with this girl?

Bayview Cafeteria. She's a waitress.

Call her, would you please?

I want to talk to her when she's off
work.

I want to talk to her here.

Come on, Mark. Hey, where are we going?
Try and defuse the bomb.

Mark! He's the leftist.

Yes, yes. Follow up, Lloyd. Follow up!

you're trying to prove, sweetheart.

Don't try too hard. I'm convinced.

Go on to the shower.

That's all for this morning.

Yes, sir.

What exactly were you thinking?

I don't know. He hit me.

It hurt.

And then everything went white.

Just white.

Like a bright light aimed to my eyes.

And the people were yelling.

What people?

The crowd at the fight.

What were they yelling?

Just yelling.

Like a typhoon spinning my mind around
and around and around.

The same way as the other night with
Shaw.

It isn't the same.

The other night the crowd was real.

The voices were real. There isn't any
crowd out there, Lloyd.

I know.

I'd like you to come with me.

I'd like you to talk to a doctor.

What doctor?

For people who can't find their way.

Lonely people.

Frightened people.

People who don't know how angry they
are.

If the doctor says so, you won't have to
fight Loper or...

Anyone else?

The Matai will honor the doctor's word.

But I gave my word.

Think it over.

I'll be waiting for your call.

No, I don't know what happened.

I heard her come home last night.

She told me she was going to a party,
but she came home so early I was

surprised.

She ran up the stairs and it worried me.

Did you come up and talk with her?

Well, not then.

Not until after her phone started
ringing over and over and over every

ten minutes and she never answered it.

So I got more worried. I came up. Poor
thing.

She was crying.

Then she told me she was going to leave
this morning.

Going home.

Where's home?

Someplace in Pennsylvania.

A little mining town. Didn't sound like
anything you'd ever want to go back to.

Well, we won't bother you anymore. Thank
you very much. Of course, no bother. No

bother at all.

How did Betty pay her rent? Cash or
check?

By check.

She was very prompt, too.

Except, of course, this morning she paid
me in cash.

What bank?

Citizen City, West Side Branch.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Welcome, Mr. Ironside. This is a happy
pleasure.

Welcome. Thank you.

Come in, come in.

Please.

Thanks.

Well, Mr. Ironside, why am I so honored?

Loy.

He's a great admirer of yours.

He's a fine young man and a talented
photographer.

A gift like that can bring great honor
to your people.

He has already brought us great honor
with his boxing.

Which is the greater honor, sir?

One that comes by making beautiful
pictures?

Or one that comes by beating another man
in a ring with your fists?

I see.

You do not approve of Lloyd's fighting?
He wants to stop, but he can't, of

course, unless you tell him to.

Loy took these pictures when he was 15
years of age. They're very beautiful.

This is my village.

These are my people living their lives
in their own way. But here, it is a

terrible thing to be part of a country
and still be a stranger there. Can you

understand that?

Definitely.

I came here, Mr. Ironside, because my
people needed their Matai to make them

one again.

I succeeded, but there was no joy in
them. They had no pride in being

Loy, with his fighting, has given them
that pride.

We are all praised through him.

Loy wants to stop.

It is not I who keeps Loy fighting.

It is his people.

They are the body and the soul and the
heart and the mind. I am only their

voice. A man is in the hospital.

He did not mean to hurt him. Loy meant
to kill him.

Forgive me, Mr.

Ironside, but I cannot believe that.

Loy is a very gentle boy. He has never
wished harm to anybody.

Loy meant to kill him.

That's why he doesn't want to go through
with his next fight.

He's afraid it will happen again.

When a child is afraid of the water, I
must lead him to the lagoon and make him

swim. Even if he drowns?

We are an ocean people, Mr.

Ironside. We never drown.

Well, I mustn't take any more of your
time, Mark.

Mr. Ironside, both Loy and I must do as
we do.

We can do no other.

It is our way of life.

Without it, we die.

I'm sorry.

really think he's better off at a
hospital?

You saw him in that ring, Mark.

His sparring partner hurt him and the
rage exploded.

There's nothing we can do.

He has to commit himself.

Ironside.

What?

I see.

Thank you very much.

Fine, Lloyd.

Stick with him until we locate the girl.

Shaw died ten minutes ago.

Yeah, okay.

Lloyd, there was a phone call just now
from your Matai.

Shaw's dead?

Yeah.

Look, in the fight game, you go in with
a possibility. Not now, Bucky.

No more.

No talking.

Don't blame yourself.

Let me drive you home.

I'm okay.

Hello?

Ironside. Ed, Chief.

Yes, Ed. Have you found Betty? No, I
just left the bank.

What bank?

What are you doing there?

The landlady said she was going home,
some little town in Pennsylvania.

I wanted to know how.

She had a bank balance of $123.

She drew it all out late this morning.

She paid her rent, $75.

That leaves $48.

So you can subtract.

So $48 isn't going to pay for plane fare
to Pennsylvania. She's got to be taking

a bus.

All right, Ed, get over to the bus
depot. Take her directly to Loy.

Shaw just died.

23.

I'm sorry.

What are you doing here?

Damn you, what are you doing here?
What's the matter?

Aren't you ashamed to show your face?

Please, Sarah.

Come on, get out of here!

He's coming.

Where have you been?

We were beginning to worry.

It is right and proper to show grief,
Lloyd.

And we grieve with you. But to grieve
too much is a kind of selfishness.

Bucky, I'm not going to fight Loper.

I'm not going to fight anyone ever
again.

Sure, sure, I know how you feel.

But give it a couple of days.

It is what your people want, Lord.

You can't turn against them.

It is they who give you life.

What kind of a life?

For me to use these to kill?

Let me go.

Please, let me go. I must do what our
people want, Willie.

You must too.

No.

No one gave me a life.

It is mine.

Only I gave it away to you.

And they give their lives away to you
day by day. The Matai is sad.

We sin. The Matai is hungry. We give of
our food.

The Matai needs money. We give what we
earn.

I want my own life.

But the Matai forbids.

For your good, Lloyd.

No! For your good! The leech grows fat
on our lives!

And now, I take a little of my life away
from you.

And now, I kill you a little.

I have always wanted to kill you.

You know what I must do?

Don't force me.

I force you.

Go then.

Go from your people.

Go from your life.

You will be forbidden to return to us
here. You will be forbidden to return to

your village in Samoa.

I shall write to the Matais of all the
villages and you will not be welcome in

any one of them there.

Go then.

You have your freedom.

Mr. Crawford, you will drive me home,
please. Yes, yes, sure.

I'll call you later.

Goodbye, my son.

It is not I who has lost his life.

I pity you your death.

He's home.

Would you mind? I'd really rather be
alone with him.

Of course.

Thank you for everything.

Don't mention it. Good night. Good
night.

Lloyd?

There's no place left now.

There's nobody left now.

Only you.

Don't leave me. Don't ever leave me.

No, no, never again. I won't.

Anywhere is your life and my life, too.

Anyplace, anybody.

Nowhere.

No.

Even nowhere, my darling, even nowhere.

When did you leave Loy's apartment?

A little after eight.

I dropped the girl off just about that
time.

I called twice before midnight.

No answer. This morning, when I came
over, the front door wasn't locked.

So I came in.

Those other Samoans may have it in for
them.

They must have taken him and the girl.

If the Matai said go from your life,
Loy's been ostracized.

The Samoans won't acknowledge him unless
they take him anywhere.

What do you think, Chief?

They left him and the girl showed up.
Sometime later, they left together.

And they couldn't have planned to be
gone for good. All his clothes are still

here in her suitcase.

Lloyd didn't have a car, did he?

No. Matter of fact, he didn't know how
to drive.

And they didn't take a cab.

What makes you so sure?

Cabs can be traced too easily.

Look, maybe it's for the best.

The boys made a tough decision.

He wants his own life.

Maybe we should just let him go.

Live and let live.

If he lives.

What do you mean?

Tried to let his anger out. And for
that, he was banished.

Denied the only life he knows.

The rage is still there.

Now he's got only one target for it.

Who? Himself.

Ed, there's a bus stop down at the
corner. Call the company.

See if it was running after 8 o 'clock
last night.

All right.

And, Ed, find out, if humanly possible,
where that bus line ends.

In my village, there is a church like
this.

Mr. Ironside helped to build it a long
time ago, and he gave the money for the

colored windows.

If we married,

we would marry in that church.

Everybody in the village would come to
sing.

Afterwards, there would be a feast.

Marry me, Loy.

Marry me now.

Teach me the words, Betty.

I, Loy, take thee, Betty.

I, Loy, take thee, Betty.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Bus at 8 .20. No, that's too early.

Yes, I'm listening.

Yeah.

Okay, thank you very much.

Last bus was at 8 .50. The end of the
line is Vernon Road and the Coast

That's way out in the country. Open
fields. Why would you want to go there?

There's a little mission around there
towards the sea.

The walls are very thick. When the storm
comes, we go there and hide from the

wind.

Aye, Betty.

Take thee, Loy.

for my lawful wedded husband, to heaven
to hold, from this day forward, for

better or worse, richer or poorer, in
sickness and in health, till death do us

part. Amen.

As torture has burned out and the
villagers have left us alone, we will

away down to the beach.

We might know it there.

We will flight it into the water.

We must make a sound.

No. And then, in the moonlight, we will
start out past the reef

and the stars everywhere.

Will the villagers follow us when they
find that we've gone?

No. We'll be alone.

you going?

The villagers have stopped singing.

They are asleep.

We can go now.

Where?

To the island.

Loy, before we go anywhere, don't you
think we'd better talk first, plan

something?

But we have planned.

I will go see if the path is clear.

You are afraid. You do not want to go.

Of course I do.

Go on, but hurry back.

Where is he?

Um, what's the matter? What happened?

You go downstairs.

Out front. Now.

Gee, look.

Loy, get back.

Don't do it. Get back.

You've won your fight, Loy. You're free.

Don't throw it away.

thousands of young men back home like
you who want their freedom.

They'll hear about you. If you live,
they will get the courage to live, to be

free. They'll get it from you.

If you die, they'll all die with you.

Loy, you're not alone.

You're fighting for their lives, too.

Don't throw their lives away.

Say that.

Tell him to get in there quick.

My friend, Mark.

Is

he

all right?

It's all right.

Everything is all right.

Wow.

There was just nowhere else to go
anymore.

He's okay.

You know, in about another hour, you are
going to be a thing of beauty.

What do you mean? You didn't lay a glove
on me.

Storm over?

Storm's over, Mr.

Ironside.

I suppose it's always a little scary at
first.

But Eden is a place you have to leave if
you want to make a life of your own.

I want that, Mr.

Ironside.

All right, let's get moving.

Can I?

Sure.

impressed with her man's lack of
