>> Okay, Eddie.

You're on your own.

>> Ah, come on, son. After 4 years, can't

you favor us with a smile on your

graduation day?

[music]

>> Hi, Eddie.

Smiley.

What's the matter, boss? Couldn't you

throw yourself away?

How was the stretch this time, boss?

Tough.

>> No, which is why I didn't crash out like

always.

>> I was sure expecting you to.

>> Nice car.

It's all yours.

>> Ours.

Everything we got.

You're a swell paletti.

Yeah, I heard all about it. You done a

good job while I was gone, and I ain't

forgetting it.

>> I did big, Eddie. You're a lot richer

than when you went in.

>> We're a lot richer.

>> Thanks, Eddie. Oh, I forgot to tell you.

We got a couple of new spots downtown.

Real class. I got the guy waiting to

show you the books. I take you away for

it like always.

>> Cuz we got troubles too.

>> I take care of the troubles

like when we was kids.

Me and you against everybody. Hey,

Smiley.

Sure.

Got my rod.

>> Wearing it right next to my heart.

>> Let me have it.

Sure. Heat.

Yeah.

Heat.

[music]

just can't understand it. I'm walking

down the street, minding my own

business. I step off the curb. Car comes

tearing around the corner against the

red [music] light. The cops should have

picked up the driver of that car. Not

me.

>> Say, are you a trustee?

>> Yes.

>> How long you been in this stir?

>> 300 odd years.

>> Gosh, it's hot here.

Gets like this in Florida sometimes.

>> Florida.

Florida never smelled like this.

Like rotten eggs.

>> Precisely, young man. Rotten eggs. The

unpleasant odor is caused by H2S04,

hydrogen sulfuric acid, the most common

compound of hydrogen and sulfur.

Am I right?

I poisoned my wife with a sulfur

compound. My young wife,

she was unfaithful.

I was a chemist. What do you mean?

>> Was before they hanged me.

>> Where the rope marks?

>> Young man, what is the last thing you

remember before they brought you here?

>> Smiling.

Smiley

that slimy double crossing rat

plugging me with my own rod. Where are

the bullet holes?

Where?

How do you like that?

He missed.

Sitting right next to me and he missed.

>> He didn't miss.

>> You're dead.

>> Huh? We're all dead.

>> Listen [music] to this mug, will you?

It's true. Only the soul exists down

here.

>> Gee,

I always said I'd wind up down here.

Look, I don't care where I am.

I got to get smiley.

There must be somewhere to crash this

can. Abandon hall. All ye who enter

here.

[music]

Stay off of me. Screw. Stay off me. I

tell you, I got to get out of here.

[music]

I'm getting smiling.

Stay off me.

I got to get smart.

[music]

[music]

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> What sort of temperature is that?

It's the labor shortage s especially the

boiler room personnel. There's been a

fearful drop. We're operating at but 73%

of normal.

>> Do you want me to catch my death a cold?

>> No, sire. We'll shred off condemned

souls. I objectely suggest.

>> Warden, I have no need of your infantile

suggestions. I'll attend to this matter

myself. My opponent has always through

some favored bottle of his tested my

time. It happens to be one judge

Frederick Parker of the New World. Well,

we'll see who goes down to defeat. My

beloved sire, your powers are wondrous

to behold.

>> I have lately been beset by great

problems.

My adversary is working overtime. But

superior though he may be and though he

set up a thousand judge Parkers to

thwart me, he must recognize that I am

still master of my own sphere.

You uttered it sire.

>> Say that is

>> what in my domain is that?

>> You have no right to say I tell you.

I'll get everywhere. You quiet.

You can't over here. All I want to do is

get a rat. You can't keep me

out of here.

[music]

>> What's the meaning of this? How dare you

bring him here?

>> We had no choice, Gordon.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Cast him down into the fire room in the

55th circle of darkness.

I apologize for the intrusion, sire.

>> Not at all, Warden. Pour me a drink.

>> You're not angry?

>> Angry? On the contrary, I'm very

pleased. In fact, I'm delighted

to

What was his name?

>> You mean the doomed soul that was here?

Kaggel. Eddie Kaggel.

>> Eddie Kaggel.

>> You drink to him? A cheap gangster.

>> Why not? I love him.

Ever seen that face before?

>> Of course. He was just here in this

room. Eddie Cable.

>> Wrong, Warden. That happens to be a

picture of Judge Frederick Parker.

Impossible.

They look exactly precisely. They look

exactly alike. And this likeness is just

the weapon I need to defeat Mr. Parker.

Eddie Kel

>> [music]

>> How hot do they want it down here?

>> Never gets hot enough pursuit of balls.

>> You think this is bad? Wait till they

stick in them hot clay pits way down

below. You

>> mean we ain't at bottom now?

>> There ain't no bottom in this joint.

Back to one. Back. Back to you.

>> I'm taking this no longer.

I'm crashing out of this college.

>> Nobody crashes out of here.

>> Nobody but Eddie Ko. He breaks out from

every place.

I'll crush out with you, idiot.

>> Who are you?

>> A pal.

>> I don't like pals.

You mean like Smiley?

How do you know about Smiley?

>> Grapevine. I can help you get him. I got

somebody I want to get, too. We can help

each other. Is it a deal?

We got to crash first.

I know how

next

screws.

Well, Eddie.

Okay. Watch your step. One false move

and I slug you.

I'll be extremely careful.

>> Rub that smile off your mouth.

A guy smiled once when he plugged me.

Certainly.

Come on now.

Hey,

you sterner or something. That's the

funnest. It's the only way. Come on.

[music]

>> [music]

[music]

>> How long you been down here?

>> Since time immemorial.

>> The way you talk, you must had a good

education.

>> The most liberal one.

>> I only went to third grade. I went

through the whole gamut of learning. I

know everything.

>> Stuck [snorts] on yourself, huh? What's

your name?

>> Well, I have a number of aliases. I have

a long record under the name of

Mephostophles.

>> Greek, huh?

>> Well, there are some who claim I'm more

of one nation than another, but that's

not true. I'm of all nations. I play no

favorites.

>> You look like a con man. Look, mopolis.

>> Call me Nick. You married?

>> Millions of women have adored me.

>> Quite a guy with the ladies, huh?

>> I'm a fascinating fellow. Look, Mug,

playing [music] around with danger is

dynamite.

>> But delightful dynamite, Eddie. Live

fully while you may, and reckon not the

cost. Deny yourself nothing. Flame and

blaze like a torch, and toss the fire

about you. Oh, Mark Cayam, said it. I'll

make the most of what we yet may spend

before we two into the dust descend.

>> You're talking scroll.

>> Oh, is it all right if I laugh

occasionally?

>> Ain't nothing to laugh about. I never

saw nothing to laugh about my whole

life. The time I left school and ran

away from home on a car I folks was

always drunk and fighting. I ain't

laughed. All I've been doing is trying

to be somebody and I did pretty good.

Worked myself up from where I had

nothing to eat, no place to sleep to top

guy in my business. Splendid. You're a

man after my own heart. I wish the world

was filled with edies.

How long is it going to take us to get

up there? Any moment now.

All

right, down there. Send it up.

>> Pew. Old man small house must be bacon

with rotten eggs.

>> Smells like the devil, too, doesn't it?

>> Wow, them ashes are still hot. Hey,

janitor. Dash them ashes with water

before you set them up.

>> Hey, I don't feel nothing.

>> Of course not. You haven't got a body. I

ain't got no body. How am I going to get

smiley?

>> Hey, you mug. Look at what you're doing.

>> No one can see you or hear you until I

find you a body now. Come on, Eddie.

>> How are you going to find it?

>> Well, everyone has his physical

counterpart, his double. I happen to

know where your double is.

>> You mean a guy which looks like me?

Spitting image. I suppose he don't want

to give me his body.

>> He'll be asleep. He won't have anything

to say about it.

>> What happens when he wakes up? When he

wakes up, he'll be you.

>> And who I'll be?

>> You'll be him.

>> Huh?

>> To everyone else, you'll be him. Of

course, yourself. You'll be yourself.

>> Oh,

hey,

give me that again, will you?

>> Oh, stop worrying about it, Eddie. Leave

everything to me.

>> Leave nothing, old con man.

>> I'm sorry, Eddie. It's this uh cold air

makes me irritable. I don't like cold

climates.

>> I don't feel nothing.

And if you ain't got no body neither,

how come you feel cold? I've been down

below so long that even my soul has

grown accustomed to the heat.

>> Hey, if I ain't got no body, I ain't got

no fingers. Right.

>> Right.

>> No fingers, no fingerprints. Right.

>> Right.

>> I can get away with mid.

>> Not exactly. Without fingers, you cannot

squeeze a trigger.

>> Yeah.

I sure want to squeeze a trigger.

Hey,

what is this? Uh, double cross. This

ain't St. Louis. Smileies in St. Louis.

>> The body we want is here. And don't you

forget you have a little job to do for

me first. That was our deal.

>> Okay.

Hi, Negan. Come on.

>> Hey,

what's the idea of bringing me here? I'm

going to get you the fingers to squeeze

that trigger.

>> How do you figure getting it in a

criminal court? How did I figure getting

you out of that jam down below? But I

did.

>> Yeah,

that was neat. This will be even neater.

Trust me.

Okay,

let's go.

>> Hey, there ain't a seat in a joint.

Let's sit here.

>> What's the matter with you? There cops

in them seats.

>> They won't mind. They won't even know.

Your honor, the defendant in this case

has failed to establish an alibi. The

testimony conclusively proves that this

man was at the scene of the crime and at

the exact time it was committed.

Therefore, I respectfully request the

court.

>> That's a lie. I'm not going to take any

more of this.

>> Get it done. Quick.

>> What happened?

>> He collapsed. Eddie.

>> No judge ever passed out on me.

>> This court is now a journey.

>> Come on. Let's go. Hey, don't give me no

orders. I do all the leading. Get me?

>> Yes, Eddie.

>> Don't you never forget. I'm boss.

>> Yes, Eddie. I shouldn't have been so

brusk.

I've given him a sedative. Let him sleep

a while, then get him home.

>> He'll be all right.

>> Sure, doctor. All right, gentlemen.

smokes. I told [snorts] you I knew where

your double was.

>> If this guy hung around St. Louis, he'd

have got bumped instead of me.

>> Too bad he didn't.

Is he the guy you want to get?

>> Yeah.

>> What'd he do to you? Send you up?

>> I was sent down, not up.

>> Hey,

this guy's a judge.

I ain't musling in on no judge's body.

>> What difference does it make? It'll

serve your purpose and mine.

>> Yeah.

What happens when he gets up and

[clears throat]

finds I'm him?

>> When we're through with him, he won't

know a thing.

Not a single blit.

Solitary thing.

>> What about you?

Ain't you going to find yourself a body?

>> Yes, I'll get one. But you first, you're

the important one.

>> Yeah.

Don't you forget it. I won't forget it.

Eddie,

what?

What you doing?

Fuse.

The power of heat. I'll fuse you into

this man as steel can be fused into

steel.

Relax.

Relax.

[music]

Oh, Albert.

>> Yes, doctor.

>> Is Miss Foster still here?

>> Yes, sir. She's making coffee.

>> Oh, fine.

May I inquire how the judge is?

>> Oh, good night's rest. He'll be all

right.

>> Oh, that's good. Come down to the

drugus, will you, and get this sedative

just in case he wakes up?

>> Yes, doctor. It'll be ready for you.

>> Is he still sleeping?

>> Yes.

>> There you are.

>> Well, thanks.

>> It's nothing serious, I hope, mad.

>> Excellent.

>> No, I don't think so. However, I've been

expecting this for some time.

Why do you say that?

>> One can only do so much, especially one

of Fred's temperament. When he awakens

in the morning, I suggest you pine him

into his car and get him away for a

couple of weeks.

>> I'm only the judge's secretary, not his

wife.

>> That ring means anything, you soon will

be.

>> But Fred can't possibly go away now.

>> Why?

>> Well, with the election only a few days

off, you speech at the auditorium

tomorrow.

>> Well, Barbara, you've always had your

own way. I suppose you will now. That's

not fair, Matt. Nobody can stop Fred.

Nobody can push him on.

>> I'm the last one who wants to see him

hurt or sick. You believe that, don't

you?

>> Of course.

>> I'll bring him to your office first

thing in the morning.

>> No, no, I wouldn't do at all. Not all

people are ready to accept psychiatry as

a normal branch of medicine. The general

impression is, I believe, that a man who

needs a psychiatrist must be crazy.

Ridiculous, of course, but there you

are. And some people are rather

reluctant to cast their votes for

lunatics.

>> I hadn't noticed.

>> Beet if I came here.

>> Bye, Barbara.

>> Goodbye, Matt.

>> Uh, Albert.

>> Yes, Miss Barber.

>> I'm going home. And if the judge awakens

during the night, please call me.

>> Yes, Miss Albert.

>> [snorts]

>> Judge,

please sir, your appointment's for nine

shots.

Judge, your honor,

>> I hated to wake you, sir. You were

sleeping so peacefully.

[clears throat]

He did it.

I got one.

>> One. What? Sir,

>> you got one, too?

>> I hope so, sir.

>> I can feel myself.

I'm solid.

Solid like I used to be. Are you quite

all right, sir? All right. Sure I'm all

right. Nick,

where where's Nick?

Hey, Nick. Nick, where are you? Hey,

Nick.

>> Did Nick sleep here, too?

>> I'm afraid I don't follow you, sir.

>> You better not. I don't like being

followed. Who are you anyway?

>> Really, sir?

>> Are you going to tell me? Do I slap it

on?

>> Sir, I'm Albert, your man, sir. And if

you'll pardon me, your bath is ready,

sir.

>> I don't need no bath. They cleaned me up

good when they let me out.

>> Where's his duds?

>> A big pardon?

>> His duds, his rags, clothes.

>> Whose clothes, sir?

>> The judges? I I got to get dressed and

get to St. Louis quick.

>> What am I, a judge or an undertaker?

Ain't you got nothing with fancy

stripes? Fancy stripes? Oh, never mind.

I'll wear one of these.

All right, you double crosser.

I'm coming for you.

Here you are, sir.

>> What are you going to do?

>> Help you into them, sir.

>> Scram.

>> But sir, I I

>> Scram.

>> Yes, sir.

Hello, Miss Barbara. This is Albert.

I I don't wish to alarm you, but the

judge is definitely not himself this

morning. I'm terribly worried about it.

Oh, that'll be splendid. And do hurry,

please. Thank you.

>> Hey, you

you.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Get me a ticket on the next plane to St.

Louis.

>> But sir, you you I

>> you work here, don't you?

>> Well, really?

>> Oh, yeah. For a good many years.

>> Well, get it.

>> But your appointment, sir.

>> I got an appointment in St. Louis. Which

comes first?

>> But plane reservations are hard to get,

especially on such short notice.

>> Okay, then call the airport and get me a

special plane off myself.

Come on.

Hey, I'll need some dough. Is there any

around?

>> Well, in the usual place, sir.

>> Don't give me no double talk. Where's a

dough?

>> In the safe, sir.

>> I don't see no safe.

>> If I seem to be baffled by

>> Will you shut up and do like I tell you,

where's the strong box?

>> Behind the picture, sir.

>> There's a flock of pictures.

>> The one with the boat, sir.

the button.

Got any sandpaper?

Have you forgotten the combination?

>> I don't need no combination. This is

duck soup.

[snorts]

Please, sir. Hey,

where's the nearest hawk shop?

>> You can't possibly leave town today,

sir.

Hello, Eddie.

>> How'd you get here? I never explain my

actions.

>> You better explain to me. I don't like

no surprises.

>> I have many more surprises in store for

you if you try to run out on me again.

>> I ain't running out on nothing. I was

just hopping over to St. Louis to take

care of that rat.

>> That rat can wait. Parker comes first.

>> Being up so high makes me uncomfortable.

>> I'm much happier down below.

>> Scared, huh?

>> I have poor altitudes.

Hey, what's that? Engine trouble, sir.

We'll have to go back to the field.

What a strange coincidence.

Wipe that smile off in your mud.

I apologize most humbly.

>> Are you sure he said St. Louis?

>> Yes, Miss Babler.

>> St. Louis.

St. Louis. I can't imagine what could

take him there. And at a time like this

with a thousand things to do, you should

have done something, Albert. Phoned me

or or stopped him or something.

>> I tried to, Miss Barbara, but he gave me

a push and out he went.

>> Oh, but that's ridiculous. The judge's

gentility itself. He never pushed

anybody.

>> He never did any of the things he did

this morning.

>> From the first time he awakened, he he

acted peculiarly.

Go on.

>> When I went to help him dress, he uh he

told me to scram.

>> The judge said scram.

>> That was the very word he used. Miss

Barbara,

>> you're certain you weren't having

hallucinations, Albert.

>> I only wish that were true. It's been

most disturbing. I would have called Dr.

Higgins, but I didn't have the

opportunity.

>> I'll call him now.

>> Very good, Miss Brown.

Hello, Dr. Higgins, please. This is

Barbara Foster. Not a word to anybody,

Albert.

>> Oh, heavens know, Miss.

>> Hello, Matt. Look, I'm at Fred's. No, he

isn't here. He took a plane for St.

Louis.

>> Well, that's extraordinary.

>> Well,

don't be unduly alarmed. It may be only

a passing aberration.

We'll see when he gets back. Let me know

the moment he arrives. And let me warn

you, Barbara. No matter how strangely he

acts, don't antagonize him. Humor him.

Indulge him. Remember, you're dealing

with someone who's ill. Perhaps very

ill.

>> Now, you understand, don't you, Barbara?

The important thing is patience.

>> I understand, Matt.

Goodbye.

>> Well, Albert, we must be very patient

with him. We will, Miss Barbara.

>> Remember now, not a word to a soul.

>> Your honor, did you uh miss your plane?

>> Yeah.

>> Albert, who is it?

The judge is back,

>> darling.

Oh,

>> darling, I was so worried about you.

>> Who's a dame?

>> Your fianceé,

the girlfriend, or rather the judges. Go

ahead, Eddie. Make the most of it. She's

all yours.

>> Hey,

this is okay.

It ain't only a trigger I can squeeze.

My

>> darling, you've never talked like that

before.

>> Why are you staring at me?

>> Just sizing you up.

Not bad.

Plenty of curves and all in the right

places.

Come here, babe.

>> Please, darling.

>> You don't have to be afraid of me.

How about me and you stepping out

tonight?

It's been a long time.

>> Please, Fred.

>> Fred?

>> Yo, Fred?

>> Oh, that's a judge's handle.

>> Mhm.

>> Who are you talking to, dear?

>> Nick.

>> Oh, Nick.

>> Beat it. Scram.

>> Yes, sir.

>> My friend, you never talked to

>> Would I never? There's going to be lots

of things you ain't never seen a judge

do.

You better get used to it.

>> Yes, dear. I'll I'll try.

>> Oh, please, Fred. You're hurting me.

Hey,

>> playing hard to get, huh?

>> What's so funny?

>> Sorry, Eddie. Sorry.

>> What's your name?

>> Oh, really, Fred?

>> What's your name?

>> Well, now you certainly know my name.

>> I wouldn't ask if I know.

I call you Rosie.

>> Rosie?

>> Yeah. That little number I used to run

around with. built just like you.

Come on. Come on. Relax. I ain't such a

bad guy.

>> Now stop it, Fred.

>> Hey, who you yelling at?

>> I'm sorry, dear.

>> Okay,

>> you'll be late.

>> I got lots of time.

>> Of course, but you do at the auditorium

to deliver your speech.

>> Come again.

>> Your speech, dear? It's getting late. I

do all my speeching with my rod.

>> I want you to make the speech, Eddie.

I'll be behind you, whispering in your

ear. It's all part of the plan.

>> Hey, I think you're doing a little too

much planning.

>> On second thought, dear, maybe it would

be best if we postpone it.

>> What do you mean, B? If I got to make a

speech, I'll make it.

>> It'll smell, but it's okay.

>> Perhaps you better take a few days rest.

I'll call the campaign committee and

explain.

>> What's the matter? What's your mind?

Think I can't do it?

>> I know you can. Only

>> only nothing. I can do anything I put my

mind on.

>> Of course.

>> Where do we go?

>> The auditorium.

>> Come on.

Well, give it to him. Good.

Come on, Nick.

>> Just Who is Nick?

>> That con man I tied in with.

Boys, we ain't been forgot by Lady Luck

like I thought. Judge Parker collapsed

on bench. Now, ain't that just too bad?

And listen to this editorial. Dare we

leave the helm of our ship in the hands

of a man whose physical condition is in

question? Now, in the stormyest period

in our state's history, certainly not.

And as patriotic citizens, we got to do

something about the situation.

>> Yeah. Now, back in St. Louis,

>> never mind St. Louis Shagsy. Whatever

you did in your hometown, we'll do it

better here. The point is, we've got to

see that the judge stays sick. We got to

see that his condition maybe even gets

worse.

>> Sure, boss. That's the idea.

>> Now, we've got the judge hanging on the

ropes. Now, we got to deliver the KO.

>> Yeah.

>> All of which is only to protect the

people, mind you. Now, with our boy,

people can go about their business in

the pursuit of happiness, which is

coming to them without worry.

>> Sure. Without worrying.

>> That's right.

>> Now, he's speaking at the auditorium at

2. That'll give you plenty of time. Put

on a good show, Shagsy. One more cave-in

like he hadn't caught yesterday and

we'll be dusting off the governor's

chair for our boy.

>> Come on, boys. Wait a minute.

Hello. Oh, hello, sweetheart. It's my

wife. Go ahead. And remember, I want to

hear that the judge is taking a turn for

the worse. We'll bring back his teeth.

Come on.

>> Hey, imagine me running for governor.

Darling, you're too modest. Come on,

let's go on the stage.

>> Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a

minute. I want to taste the joint first.

>> Hey, look at that Toyota.

[laughter]

Hey, what are you going backwards for?

Stick close. You're giving me the words,

remember?

>> Oh, there is his honor. Now, excuse me.

>> Hey, where are you?

>> Please, darling.

>> Well, your honor, we're all ready to

start.

>> Where's Nick?

>> They're waiting.

>> Let him wait. I'm sure.

>> Hey, where did he go?

>> There's someone with this honor. I'm

sure we can find him a seat.

>> Oh, that'll be fine. Yes, darling.

Darling,

>> nice. Thank

>> Please, darling. Everyone's waiting.

>> I need Nick to help me with the woods.

>> Do you have your speech right

getting a little worried about you,

[applause]

>> children? here already.

>> Now it's time to go quiet.

>> Your honor,

>> stand up, dear.

>> Your honor, in behalf of all the boys

and girls who are members of the Parker

clubs and in gratitude for all you have

done for them, regardless of who they

are.

[snorts] regardless of who they are

>> and where they come from

>> and where they come from. We want to

present you with

>> I lost it.

Maybe

>> Oh, there it is.

>> Gee,

this watch

Thank the children.

>> Thanks kids.

>> You're welcome. You're home.

>> I like children.

Fellow Americans, as the campaign for

governor of this great state goes into

its final phase, it is an honor and a

privilege to speak once again in behalf

of the candidate of the Citizens Better

Government Committee, Judge Frederick

Parker.

>> [applause]

>> The whole country knows of the famous

Parker Youth Foundation

created by our candidate 10 years ago.

This one organization has reduced

juvenile crime 97% since it was founded.

>> [applause]

>> Because Judge Parker is a man who

understands that juvenile delinquency is

not a matter of bad boys and good boys,

but rather a matter of bad conditions

and good conditions.

He is a man revered and loved by his

friends, respected and feared by his

enemies, a man of countless virtues.

Ladies and gentlemen, as we have just

seen, one of Judge Parker's numerous

virtues is his modesty.

>> What's the idea letting me down?

>> I'm not letting you down. Far from it.

>> What about this?

>> Throw it away.

>> Go out there and tell them off.

>> Tell them off? What I say?

>> Surely I don't have to tell you that.

These people sent you to prisoner.

They're your enemies. Thou shalt not,

gang. The Law and Order brigade. They

hate you. They've always hated you.

Now's your chance to tell them what you

think of them. You're not afraid.

>> I ain't afraid of nothing.

>> And go out there and give it to them.

>> Call them by their right names.

>> Call them every name you can think of.

>> It is my privilege to introduce the next

governor of this great state, Judge

Frederick Parker.

[applause]

Yeah.

Heat.

Listen all of you,

I'm going to tell you a few things.

You are

using jiu-jitsu.

[music]

You can't do it.

>> [music]

>> Stop it, Eddie. Stop it. They're your

friends. You're crazy.

>> You see that? Take it, Eddie. Take it.

[screaming]

[music]

>> It's not you then after. It's the judge.

>> Yeah, but I'm getting the punches.

>> But you're making a hero of the judge.

You want him to make mince me to me.

[music]

>> Idiot.

Sh. The cops beat it.

>> On your feet. Get out of here. Get

going.

>> No, I won't need that now, Mr. Kramer.

Thank you.

>> Are you hurt very much, your honor?

>> No. You sure you're all right, dear? You

able to walk?

>> Sure. Sure.

>> Gee, judge, your honor, you're a champ.

>> May I kiss you?

>> The judge don't want girls to kiss me.

>> You go right ahead, dear, if you want

to.

>> Come on, babe.

Hey,

>> where's Nick?

>> Oh, never mind. Nick, now dear, please.

>> Well, he was with

>> Albert, get me some antiseptic and

bandages quickly.

>> Yes, Miss Barbara.

>> Darling, you were magnificent.

But you know, you weren't cut out for

that sort of thing.

>> You know somebody who could have done it

better?

>> No, dear. But I'm afraid of the after

effects. I know you're going to be ill.

I ain't never been sick in my life.

>> But Fred, you were just

>> I'm glad Nick ain't here.

>> Darling, what's come over you?

>> What's this? Hey, take that junk out of

here and get me a drink.

>> The mineral water, sir.

>> I said a drink. Bourbon.

>> Well, Fred, you don't drink.

>> You just watch me. And some cigars. But

>> Fred, you can't smoke or drink. You know

that.

>> Are you kidding? What are you standing

there for? Get

>> darling, please. You'll only make

yourself ill.

>> Stop worrying, Rosie.

>> Hey, how about some smooching?

Darling, you have changed.

>> Want a shot?

>> I wish you wouldn't, dear. You've had

enough excitement for one day.

>> I ain't started yet.

Take a powder.

>> Take a powder, sir.

Oh, you mean scram.

>> Here's luck, Rosie.

>> Be careful, dear.

>> I can do this all day.

>> [cough]

[clears throat]

[cough]

[sighs]

>> That's funny. I never choked on this

before.

>> [clears throat]

[laughter]

[gasps]

>> What kind of a body did that luck slip

me any?

>> I better have Albert put you to bed.

>> Hey, I ain't sleepy.

You feel good.

>> I've got to get home, dear.

>> Home?

Don't you live here?

>> You know perfectly well I don't live

here.

>> The judge must be screwy or something.

>> You ain't going home, Rosie.

>> I am going home in the better.

>> Wait a minute. Wait a

>> darling.

>> Oh, Fred. I told you.

>> It's all right. I'm all right.

You're worried about me.

Nothing about it. I'd be fine.

Miss Barbara, what happened?

>> His honor just passed out.

>> Taxi.

Hey, what's the idea?

>> Get back in your cab or I'll slug you.

>> I don't get excited.

>> Come on. No way. Let's take this one.

criminal court building.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> I have the sworn affidavit and

depositions from those witnesses in

Chicago. They came in the mail this

morning.

>> What witnesses? What's all this about?

>> Chicago should be pretty familiar to

you. I understand your bosom pearl has

opened a couple of night spots, sir. You

>> mean Smiley? Well,

>> who is Smiley, dear? I don't see his

name in these documents. When I finish

with him, the only place you'll find his

name will be on a tombstone.

>> Well, what is he to do with the Bentley

trial?

>> I don't know. No Bentley. All I know is

>> Bentley trial, dear. The case you're

hearing in court today.

>> Don't worry, Eddie. I'll be there. This

gives you another go at Parker. You'll

be sure you don't bungle it this time.

>> Yeah, sure. I know all about trials.

>> So do you, Bob.

>> Are you talking to the cab driver, dear?

>> Keep your eye front. You want us to get

killed?

Sorry, your honor.

>> Dear, listen to me. I was talking to Dr.

Higgins. He said that

>> Rosie, I'm handling it my way. Place

comes Bentley. Then comes that St. Louis

two-faced double cross and backstabbing.

>> I'll show you a few tricks on how to get

smiley. Tricks you never even dreamed

of.

>> Sure. Sure. I go through with a trial

and nothing flat and then we shoot out

to St. Louis.

>> What will we do in St. Louis, dear? Not

you. Just us.

>> Not Not me. Just us.

>> Oh, darling. You're frightening me when

you talk like this.

>> This is strictly between me and Smiley.

We're going south together.

>> On on a vacation to Florida.

>> Further south.

It's a 100 times hotter.

Boris, I tell you Dems is on his own

words. And get this, he said he was

going to rush through at the trial, then

hop quick to St. Louis and get spiley.

>> That's dangerous talk for a judge and a

gubnatorial candidate to make. You sure

you heard right? You're positive.

>> Yeah, he called him a double cross and

backstabber who was running the racket

with the judge's dough.

>> Nice work, Jim.

Boys, we're in. The honorable judge just

put himself right out of the running.

Shagsy, that hunch of yours was right.

This judge not only looks like Eddie,

he's the biggest two-timing double

crossing candidate that ever ran for

office. He's even worse than our own

man.

>> Are you calling the judge?

>> I'm calling Smiley.

>> This looks like what they put on a guy

was given a necktie party. Now tell me

the rap on these Bentleys.

>> Attempted murder. Mrs. Bentley and her

husband tried to kill her father and

collect his insurance.

>> One of them things, eh?

>> Mhm. They pushed him in front of a

subway train, but they bungled it. The

fools. The old man's alive but somewhat

mangled. The entire country is shocked

by the ugliness of it. Somehow they

failed to see any beauty in it.

>> What chance they got?

>> Judge Parker.

>> None. Or they wouldn't have spent all

that money trying to square things

before coming up for trial.

>> Did they try to get to Judge Parker?

>> They wouldn't do that. They know it's

impossible to fix Judge Parker.

But Eddie Kaggel know.

>> Hey, who's spreading the dough?

>> A man known as Big Harry.

>> Well, what's his last name? I can't look

up no big Harry. I want to call him up

and have him come here quick before the

trial.

>> No, he's too smart for that.

>> Well, what'll I do?

>> Why don't you just dial spring 74242?

I'll guide you. Little telepathic

transmission.

>> Always showing off with them big boys.

I used to dish out plenty of dough

myself when I put in a fix. Not my

chance to get some of it back.

>> 25 grand ain't enough to fix a rap like

what this is.

>> Why? It's It's heinous.

>> It's heous. The whole country is aroused

by it.

>> Yeah, it's roused the whole country. But

your honor, uh,

>> as is the case of the people versus

Mitchell 186 New York 942.

>> Like in the case of the people Mitchell

186 New York's 942. They got 30 years.

>> You don't want the Bentleys to do a

30-year hitch, do you?

>> No, your honor, but if you'll only be

reasonable, uh, let me bring the

Bentleys in.

>> So, you can have witnesses for the

fixer.

>> No, your honor. I just just want you to

see them and and have them say a word in

their own little

>> Wait, put the moola on the desk first.

Your honor, this is Mr. and Mrs.

Bentley. They will tell you that this

whole affair was merely the result of a

tragic misunderstanding. This fine,

upstanding citizen and this frail,

innocent, law-abiding little lady were

simply victims of circumstance.

As a result of which, Mrs. Bentley has

been under the constant care of her

physician.

She's lost weight. She's been unable to

Rosie.

Rosie Morgan.

>> It can't be. You was bumped. You was

bumped.

>> You didn't wait long to get hooked up

with this lug, did you? Your honor,

>> shut up.

>> Easy, Eddie. Don't ruin everything.

>> You shut up, too.

>> All them trips to Kansas City to see

your poor old [ __ ] mother. And you,

>> your honor, get hold of yourself.

>> So, this was your mother, huh? Your

little two time. He's playing around

with him all the time. But I got you

now. Wait, the trial starts. I'll throw

the book at you. I'll give you the

works. I'll salt you and him away for

keeps. [screaming]

>> Your honor, the court is ready, sir.

>> Here's your dough. You can't fix this

wrap. Not for a million. Not for all a

dough in a country.

>> Your honor, are they trying to bribe

you?

>> Imagine.

>> Wait till I tell the story at the press,

your honor. After this, you're a sensor

set in the governor's chair.

>> Hey, don't you never say chair to me.

>> I'm sorry, your honor.

>> You fool. You unmititigated abysmal

fool.

>> If you had a body, I'd tear it apart.

Good thing you can do that trick.

>> You should see him. He's gotten worse.

He's somebody I don't know anymore. What

is it, Matt? What's happened to Fred?

>> It isn't as simple as diagnosing [music]

a case of measles.

>> No thanks.

>> It could be a throwback to his formative

years, his young years, the boyhood

years when he lived in the slums. But

what caused it?

>> Fear probably.

>> Of what?

>> Well, he might be afraid of the high

office he's running for. Afraid of being

elected? Afraid of the responsibilities?

It might mean

afraid of loving a woman like you.

>> A woman like me?

>> Yes.

Barbara,

I think Fred should withdraw from the

campaign.

>> Are you serious?

>> Deadly serious.

>> But you can't be. He's as good as

elected right now. Yes, I know.

>> He'll be all right. He's got to be

>> He's got to be governor.

>> From judge's secretary to governor's

wife. Not bad.

>> I'm mad.

>> Barbara,

we've been friends for a long time.

You're the loveliest girl I've ever

known. You're also the most ambitious.

>> Yes, Matt. I am. See, I'm not a

psychiatrist. I don't know much about

neurotic conditions, but I do know that

what Fred is doing, he must do.

Sakari won't give a lot of poor kids a

chance to grow up like decent human

beings. And Fred Parker will. Sakari

won't wipe out the vicious elements in

this world, but the influence of

Governor Parker will. And this ambitious

wench, Barbara Foster, is going to help

him do it.

>> I'm sorry, Barbara.

Guess I was mistaken in you. Forgive me.

I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry that a man

like Fred has to pay for all this with

his health,

but

>> Well, perhaps it'll work out. As a

matter of fact, his condition may pass

as quickly as it came,

but he must be handled with patience and

[music] understanding.

It's going to be difficult for you.

>> Nothing's difficult where Fred's

concerned.

>> If you could possibly get him away for a

short while, it would help enormously.

>> I'll do my best.

>> Good.

still friends?

>> Of course. Always. [music] Goodbye, man.

Lovely. Isn't she? Go ahead, Eddie. Make

the most of it. She's all yours. Mine.

Nah.

This dame ain't like Rosie.

>> Why I sent for you so sudden is this.

Smiley, you've been negotiating to

operate in the east the same as in St.

Louis, which is okay with me and the

boys on certain good and reasonable

conditions. Of course,

>> I got conditions, too.

>> Oh, sure. We're not going to have any

argument about percentages. It's only

one question.

Eddie Kaggel,

what about him? Well, now that he's out

free again, ain't you heard? Eddie ain't

around anymore.

>> He ain't?

>> He was bumped off the minute he

graduated college.

>> Well, what do you know?

That means you're top dog now.

>> Nobody else.

>> And you're operating alone. You don't

have to ask nobody about nothing.

>> You're learning fast.

>> You wouldn't be holding out any

important information on us, would you,

Smiley? Such as for instance,

>> for instance, like silent partners, you

know, someone way up in political

circles that's maybe getting a cut out

of everything.

>> I told you I operate strictly alone.

>> We heard different.

And we heard it straight, Smiley.

You're hearing it straight from me.

Yours truly, Smiley Williams.

>> All right, Smiley, if you say so. After

all, if you ain't exactly telling us the

truth, it'll be complications which

somebody will get hurt. It's always the

other guy gets hurt,

>> not me.

>> Send him to the judge's house. That will

settle both of them. Just get them

together.

>> Tell you what, Smiley, I just had a

thought. Before you open up, there's a

guy you got to see. If he gives you the

okay, then we'll do business.

>> Is he the juice?

>> Yeah, the juice. I'll give you his name

and address.

You better call on him right away

if he's not at home.

Wait for him.

Judge.

A judge, huh? Craig Parker.

>> You better be getting on over there,

huh? Is he the juice?

>> Running for governor, too.

>> Surprised?

>> Yeah, I thought you would be.

>> Is he tough?

>> You tell us. We'll be waiting to hear

how you come out. Hi, Smiley. Sell off.

>> My children. My children. You'd be lost

without me.

[music]

>> The governor's mansion's all right, but

this is where we'll really live.

>> Should we go in?

>> In where? in our house, silly.

>> Oh, sure.

>> Can't you just see it shining and

beautiful?

Well, remember, darling, all the fun we

had planning all this location and the

rooms in the garden.

Come on, let's go up these three little

steps.

Careful now.

Now we're on our porch. Old darling will

spend a lot of time out here after

dinner in the evenings when it's quiet

and peaceful.

>> Let's go inside.

>> Hey. Oh, wait.

>> What's the matter?

>> We have to open the door.

>> Oh,

[music] here. Come in, dear.

Now then.

>> Hey, you forgot to close the door. When

we're married, I'm going to insist that

you carry me across the threshold.

>> When

Well, we get married. [music]

>> Well, don't say it so gloomly, dear. It

won't be that bad.

Now, over here is your study, your

private sacred room, and there will be

pictures of all the great men of law,

literature, and politics. And then over

here by the window will be your law

library, and a big launching chair for

you to slump down and read. Will I want

to do any reading with you in the house?

>> Well, Fred,

that's the nicest thing you've ever said

to me.

>> A lot of nice things I [music] want to

say to you.

>> Say them to me in there. That's the most

important room in the house.

>> What is it? The kitchen?

>> No, the nursery.

You mean

you want to live here with me and

have kids and sit on a porch?

>> Of course, darling.

>> Look at me.

You mean with me?

The way I am,

what you see, and

how I talk,

>> I love you.

>> You don't see [music] no difference.

>> No difference that matters.

>> Imagine that.

I could have had all this, been all

this,

people calling me your honor and smiling

at me.

Kids making a fuss over me and

me not having to hide from something all

the time and [clears throat]

and you

I could have had you.

>> But you are all that you have me.

>> I I ain't got nothing.

I ain't get even got myself.

>> Don't say those things. At least [music]

not out here. You promised today be our

day. You promised to forget all about

the court and the election, everything.

Please, darling, let's just enjoy

ourselves.

>> I beg pardon, sir, but perhaps you'd uh

prefer to come back tomorrow. Evidently,

his honor is unavoidably detained.

>> I'll wait.

Yes, sir.

[music]

>> You happy, darling?

>> Yeah, but I'm scared, too.

>> Of what?

>> Yeah, I don't know. I never been scared

of nothing in all my life.

>> Dr. Vegan said you ain't nothing the

doctor knows about. Something I can't

figure out myself

except maybe cuz I found something I

never had before. Something I want to

hold on to.

Place like this and

feeling of quiet inside me.

And you slant on things.

I'm talking screw it.

>> No, you're not. It makes me so happy to

hear you talk like that.

>> Happy.

>> Fred, I'm beginning to find you again.

Honey, I'm I'm all mixed up.

You see, I I made a deal.

Well, how could I know that I'd meet up

with a girl like you?

Better cut my arm off than hurt you.

[music]

I'd

>> like to puzzle it out from

just for a couple of minutes myself.

>> It's all right, darling.

>> [music]

[music]

>> That was a very touching scene.

What are you gum shoeing around for?

>> I have some nice news for you.

Remember I promised that if you'd help

me get Judge Parker, I'd help you get

Smiley.

>> Mhm.

>> Well, I happen to keep my word, even

though some others don't.

>> I did everything you asked me.

>> And bungled everything, too. Instead of

ruining Judge Parker, you made him more

popular. That fight in the auditorium,

you're refusing the bribe in the Bentley

case and now this fantastic billing and

[music] couping.

>> That guy can change, can he?

>> Oh, not you, Eddie.

It's too late for that. Besides, a halo

isn't your particular dish.

However, what I came to tell you is

this.

Smiley is in town.

>> What's he doing here?

He's come to extend his cafe business.

He's going to open up in this city with

your money, Eddie. The money you went to

jail for. The money he killed you for.

I don't know. Getting the red don't seem

important no more.

>> Oh no, really, Eddie. You're going soft.

What's more, you're getting yellow.

>> Don't you never say that to me.

>> And then prove I'm wrong by carrying out

your end of the bargain.

>> Well, I

I can't leave Rosie. I mean,

Barbara. Smiley in town is not only a

threat to you, but to Barbara, too.

>> You mean

the girl is in danger with [music]

Smiley here?

>> Figure it out for yourself. When he sees

you, if you don't get him, he'll get you

like he did before

with a smile on his face.

And you know what that would mean to

Judge Parker?

To his body.

And where would that leave Barbara? So

you see, either way, for her sake,

for the sake of any little children she

may have, you've got to kill him. You

got a way of putting things which makes

sense. Although inside me, I know that I

shouldn't follow your advice, but it's

like you say,

you'll only be doing Barbara a favor.

protecting our kids,

our kids, maybe. Mhm.

Now you're beginning to see straight and

think clearly.

Here we go.

I got to tell Barbara first.

Honey, I I got to attend to something.

Something very important. Got to use

your car.

>> My car.

>> I guess I guess it's all right, dear, if

you want to.

>> Thanks.

>> I won't be alone.

>> Look, honey,

I want your [ __ ] to straighten me out on

something. I'll try, dear, if I can.

>> If we was already married and and living

in this house and had kids

and one day a big rat full of poison

came out of his hole and showed his

teeth and went for the kid's throats,

what would you do?

>> I'd be nothing to do but destroy it.

>> You mean kill it, don't you?

>> Yes.

>> Thanks.

Thanks for straightening me out. [music]

>> Rick, wait.

Kill.

Kill.

[music]

What a beautiful day.

One couldn't ask for more delightful

weather.

>> Take that grin off in your face.

>> Now, please permit me the privilege of

expressing my happy frame of mind with a

few facial wrinkles.

Relieves the tension. Look out. I don't

put some wrinkles on you. Little stafer

keeps.

>> What's the matter?

>> I wasn't speeding.

>> I didn't say you was. Let me see your

driver's license.

I must have left it in my other suit.

>> In this state, that ain't good. How

about your owner's license?

>> Tell him it's your fiance's car. Tell

him you borrowed it to go to a campaign

meeting where you're making a speech.

>> Don't you recognize me? I'm Judge

Pocket. I'm running for governor in the

next state. There's a political shindig

there tonight and I'm making a speech.

This is my finances car. See, and she

just let me have it with the emergency.

What's her name?

>> Barbara Foster. That's an interesting

set of circumstances. A girl by that

name phoned the police to report her car

stolen. And the description of the car

and the license number was identical

with the one you're driving.

>> I'm telling you, you're making a

mistake.

>> That's what they all say. Anyhow, you

can explain it down the station house.

Follow me.

You know this should convince you

conclusively, Eddie, that I'm the only

friend you have. First, your best pal

Smiley double crosses you, and now this

girl.

>> It ain't so. The cup pulled a boner. The

girl ain't had nothing to do with it.

>> Wishful thinking, Eddie. She knew you

were out to kill, which meant you

wouldn't be governor, and she wanted to

be the governor's wife.

>> You're a liar.

>> Mankind has been beset by women since

Adam. And Barbara is the true offshoot

of her grandmother, Eve.

>> Oh, baddy.

>> Will you at last come to see that I am

the only person you can trust?

>> No. Fighter than I control this

building. Stop talking to me, will you?

You're only making a fire burn in my

head.

>> Now, listen.

>> Stop.

>> Hey, what's with you? Who are you

talking to?

>> Nobody. I I

just uh

just rehearsed my speech. Yeah.

>> Well, come in the other room. That

lady's here. The owner of the car.

Barbara. Barbara, tell this copa who I

am.

>> I beg your pardon.

>> What's this? Do you know this man?

>> I've never seen him before in my life.

>> Barbara, please

don't do this to me.

>> You'll have to file a complaint, lady.

All right,

>> Barbara.

>> Wait, let me let me talk to you alone

just just for a few minutes. This may

mean everything to you

to to your future.

Please,

Robert,

there's certain things I can't tell you

cuz I know you won't believe it. But you

got to believe this.

For the first time I can remember, I'm

trying to do something for somebody else

without caring what happens to me. I was

beginning to change. You understand?

You've done it.

Don't spoil it now.

Don't let me down

for your own sake.

For the sake of them kids,

we're just going to sleep in that

nursery you were telling me about.

Fred, you said something about making a

deal.

>> All right. I want you to make a deal

with me. I'll get you out of here. If

you'll go with me to a minister and

marry me right now.

>> But I can't. I take it up, Eddie. Then

you can finish what you started out to

do.

All right.

I'll marry you.

[music]

>> Hey, Nick, you're going the wrong

direction. Going in the right direction.

>> Never mind. Nick, do it. Please.

And he said in another place, "If anyone

offend one of the weak who believe in

me, it will better for him

than me stone." Better.

When did I leave off? I guess

>> it were better.

>> What were better? If anyone offends,

>> if anyone offend one of the weak who

believe in me, it better.

Well, we want to get married.

Why?

Too many people are getting married

these days without asking themselves

why. Well, there's an idea. Make a note

of that for a sermon.

>> Yes, dear. My husband is preparing his

sermon. He'll be right with you. Won't

you sit down? I want to offend one of

the weak who believe in me. It were

better for him that a millstone were

hanged about his neck and he were cast

into the sea. And he said in another

place, "If thy hand offend thee, cut it

off. It is better for thee to enter life

maimed than to go into the gaha of

inextinguishable fire."

>> Yes, said it, brother.

>> Expressions of approval be confined to

Amen. Please,

for it is written that everyone shall be

burned with fire and every victim salted

with salt. When the devil speaks to you,

my children, heed him not, for his only

desire is to lead you below. He is the

evil one. Watch for him. No matter what

name he introduces himself with,

Lucifer, Bear, Mephosphles.

>> Hey,

I know him.

Where was I? Agatha.

>> Oh yes. Heed not Mephostophles, my

children, lest you suffer eternal

damnation when he whispers in your ear.

Turn away your head and hearken instead

to the angel on your shoulder.

>> What if you ain't got no angel on your

shoulder?

>> You have if you live right, son. Be

good. Do good. The devil wields no power

over a good man.

Sit tight, honey. I'm coming right back.

>> Where are you going?

>> I'm going to tell off the devil.

>> Good for you, son. The alt is to your

left as you enter the church.

>> Well, Eddie,

I just come out to tell you something.

There's a smart operator in there. What

knows all the answers?

>> You don't say. Mhm.

He even knows who you [music] are.

>> Do you know?

Yeah, Nick.

I know. I'm afraid I'll have to take you

back, Eddie. You know too much.

The dope I got says you can't get the

drop on a good man. That hardly covers

you. My records clean this trip.

I ain't done nothing wrong since you

brought me back.

Eddie, I have only the kindliest [music]

feelings toward you. And to prove it, I

want you to go right back in there.

Marry Barbara and my blessings on both

of you.

>> We don't want no blessings from you.

I'm true at you,

[music]

Beasel. Bob,

>> and therefore is not by any to be

entered into lightly, but reverently,

discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in

the fear of God. Under this holy estate,

these two persons come now to be joined.

If any man can show just cause, why they

may not lawfully be joined together? Let

him now speak, or else hereafter forever

hold his peace. I require and charge you

both. Wait a minute.

>> Please, dear.

>> He brought up something important.

Honey, I got to speak now. Like he says,

I can't marry you.

I'd be doing wrong.

And that's just what the devil is

waiting for.

>> Oh, dear Lord.

Fred, you don't know how hard I've been

trying to help you in every way. But I'm

afraid I can't go much further. You're

not only destroying yourself, you're

destroying me. And I just can't stand it

any longer. Please, let's go on with the

ceremony.

>> But honey, I can't.

My eyes have been open. Marrying you now

would be the worst thing I could do.

Which don't mean that you lost Fred

Parker, but like you said this

afternoon, you'll be finding him again.

and you'll be proud of it

like you always was.

Honey, if I could only make you

understand.

[music]

I think I do [music] understand,

darling.

Come, I'll drive you home.

Please forgive [music] us.

>> Eddie,

you have a visit, huh?

You might like to know that in his

pressed pocket he is carrying the very

gun with which he snuffed you out. He's

been carrying it around ever since.

Brings him luck. He says you can now

repay that long overdue debt with your

own gun.

That's what's known as [music] poetic

justice.

>> [music]

>> Heed not Mephostophles, my children,

lest you suffer return eternal eternal

damnation when he whispers in your ear.

Turn away your head and hearken instead

to the angel on your shoulder.

[music]

You're right, Mopolis

or Nick for short,

but I ain't never plugged no guy what's

asleep.

I'll wake him first.

>> It's so much simpler this way. I made

him drowsy to make it easy for you.

>> You make everything easy, don't you?

All right, have a show away. Wake him

up. It might be more amusing.

I'll go fix him a drink.

Make it feel like [music] old times.

[music]

>> Smiley.

Smiley. Huh? Who call me?

>> I did.

>> Oh,

Judge Parker.

I'm fixing a couple of drinks.

What's on your mind?

>> Well, uh, I'm operating in St. Louis and

other spots.

>> Mhm.

And I'm interested in a couple of joints

here in the east. Bellamy steered me to

you about getting a passport.

>> Sure. Sure. I understand.

So, as is my nature to come to the point

pronto,

what's your cut?

>> 100 grand and 25% of the take.

Hold on, judge. I may be from St. Louis,

but I ain't no hick.

You operating alone? No partners? All

alone?

I heard there was uh Eddie Kaggel head

in your outfit.

>> Yeah, but he's dead.

>> You sure?

>> Well, I ought to know cuz I uh

>> cuz you what? I got the flash as soon as

the cops found his body.

>> I heard he was your pal.

>> Yeah, we grew up together. I used to do

his thinking and he do my fighting. So

you paid him off by putting four slugs

in him from his own run.

>> And what kind of talk is that?

You after blackmail.

This is Smiley Williams you're talking

to.

>> Who should know?

>> Better than me.

[music]

>> You.

You.

>> Why are you so nervous?

You look like you seen [music] a ghost.

>> Stop it, daddy. Get on with it.

>> Shut up, member of Papolis.

>> My name is Smiley Williams.

>> Pleased to meet you. They call me Judge

Parker,

but maybe I ain't Judge Parker.

Maybe I'm somebody else.

Somebody you know.

No.

No. You can't be him.

him. Who's him?

>> Eddie. Eddie Kaggel.

Oh, you can't be this whole thing. It's

It's Screwy.

>> Maybe it ain't Screwy. Why don't you

start figuring it out? If I ain't Judge

Parker, I must be somebody else. Maybe

I'm that pal of yours. Eddie. Eddie

Kaggel. The one you chop down with his

own rod. Figure it when you're afraid of

every shadow, every footstep, every

sound, every dark alley you pass, every

car that whizzes by. Hold up at your

hideout and go slowly nuts trying to

figure is Eddie Kadel dead or is he

alive. And then when you can't take it

no more, go blow your brains out.

>> There it is. Your own gun. Return the

compliment, Eddie.

>> Stop whispering in my ear, devil.

>> Play me while you judge. I'll do

anything you say.

Henny,

give me a chance.

You didn't shoot him. We had a bargain.

He was took care of a better way.

And I never even touched him.

Now you go back to your hole in the

ground.

You're in my way.

I cannot go back without you.

>> Well, no, ain't that too bad.

>> Listen, Haiti.

No soul has ever escaped from my domain

before. I've got to get you back or I'll

be geret and derided while the upheaval

will be cataclysmic in its proportions.

>> What a laugh.

Looks like you got yourself behind the

eightball.

>> Come on, Eddie. Please have a heart.

>> You'll have to take it up with the boss.

I'm getting my orders from him. From now

on,

>> must I run a foul of you again?

Am I doomed forever to be vanquished?

What has this subhuman creature

incubated in the recesses of foulness

done to become your favored?

It was with evil intent that he ventured

forth. He volunteered to do my bidding.

Must I be humiliated by this maggot?

I demand my rights.

>> You're missing the point, Chum.

There's an ombre called Judge Parker and

a sweet gal named Barbara what's been

playing good ball with a lot of kids

which might otherwise join up with your

team. And me, Eddie Kaggel, is staying

around to see that you don't mess things

up.

So long as you remain in the judge's

body, neither you nor he can do

anything. Once more, you're making

Barbara very unhappy. The longer you

remain on Earth, the longer she cannot

be joined with her rightful mate.

>> It was you who got me in.

>> You were evil then. I had power over

you.

>> I get it.

If I don't myself help you take me out

of Parker's body,

Barbara and the judge don't get together

like they should.

All right, I'll make you a deal.

If you lay off the judge and Barbara for

life,

I'll go back with you.

I accept I have to. Are you ready?

Wait. I I want to say goodbye to Barbara

first.

>> I cannot wait. You're waiting like it.

Hello,

Barbara.

I got to see you right away.

Hop in your car and come right over.

Yeah.

Thanks, honey.

[music]

[music]

There sure are something for the eyes.

in that outfit. Honey,

>> thank you, darling. I wanted to look my

best. You said we go to dinner and a

show.

>> Um,

I'm afraid that's off cuz

I I'm going to wait.

I ain't never coming back.

>> Dearest, what do you mean? Why would you

be going away?

>> Well, I can't [music] tell you cuz I'm

afraid you won't understand, baby.

I only understand that wherever you go,

I want to go with you.

>> Next,

>> you don't belong or I'm gone. Oh,

>> no.

>> Eddie,

>> I got everything set for you, honey. So,

you won't have no more trouble.

When I'm gone,

the judge can straighten [music]

everything out, and

you and him get married.

and go live [music] in that swell house

and have kids.

Daddy,

you have to be gone now, honey.

>> Please, please don't say those things.

>> I I feel kind of funny,

kind of dizzy.

>> Darling, [music] go in and lie down for

me. Yeah. Yeah. I'll lay down a little.

>> I I just wanted to tell you,

>> Eddie.

>> [music]

>> Bye honey.

Heat. Heat.

>> [music]

[music]

>> Dr. Higgins, please.

Do you know where he is?

Please try to reach him and and tell him

to come to Judge Parker's apartment

immediately. This is very urgent.

Thank you,

>> Barbara.

Barbara,

you have tears in your eyes.

What's the matter?

>> It's nothing.

Nothing. Everything's fine now.

>> Well,

along

Funny, I never thought people's faces

looked so good.

There lots other things I never noticed

before.

If I'd only know the first trip around,

would I know now?

>> When I get you down below, I'm going to

take special pains with you. I'm going

to introduce you to agonies undreamed

of.

>> I don't think you'll be so tough.

>> No.

>> No.

>> Cuz you know why? Cuz you made a sap of

yourself. You don't want your boys to

know that. No big shot wants to look

like a sucker before his own mom.

Now, if I was made a trustee, this is

sheer unblushing blackmail.

>> You ought to know, brother.

You ought to know. [music]
