All language subtitles for Act of violence - 1948 - Fred Zinneman

A LIGHT BREEZE
IS WHIPPING THE FLAGS OF STATE AND NATION,

WHILE A WARM AND BRIGHT
SUNSHINE STREAMS DOWN ON THE WAR VETERANS.

YES, IT'S TYPICAL
CALIFORNIA WEATHER HERE IN SANTA LISA

FOR THESE SOLEMN RITES
OF MEMORIAL DAY.

AND FOLLOWING THE PARADE--

YES, SIR.

YOU GOT A SINGLE ROOM?

I THINK SO, SIR.

I CAN GIVE YOU A VERY
NICE SINGLE AT 3.50.

HOW LONG WILL YOU
BE STAYING?

I DON'T KNOW.

NEVERMIND THAT.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

AND NOW, I WANT TO CALL
ON A FELLOW VETERAN

WHO PROBABLY HAD MORE TO DO
WITH OUR FINALLY GETTING THIS HOUSING PROJECT

THAN ANYONE ELSE IN TOWN.

I MEAN FRANK ENLEY.

I GUESS YOU ALL KNOW FRANK,
AND I'M SURE YOU KNOW HOW HARD HE'S WORKED.

SO LET'S GET HIM UP HERE
AND MAKE OUR THANKS OFFICIAL.

COME ON UP, FRANK!

COME ON,
SPEAK, FRANK.

GO ON, BIG SHOT.
YOU HEARD WHAT THE MAN SAID.

ON THE DOUBLE, CAPTAIN.

FIRST TIME I EVER HAD A CHANCE
TO GIVE ORDERS TO A CAPTAIN.

NICE WORK, FRANK.

THANKS.

YOU KNOW,
FRANK DIDN'T ONLY HELP TO BUILD THIS PROJECT,

HE'S WORKED WITH US
DAY AND NIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

HE HELPED KEEP
OUR SPIRITS UP,

AND BELIEVE ME,
THERE WERE TIMES WHEN-- WELL, THE FLESH WAS WILLING

BUT THE SPIRIT WAS
PRETTY LOW.

GO AHEAD, FRANK,
IT'S ALL YOURS.

WELL, UH...
AS YOU ALL KNOW,

I WAS JUST ONE
OF THE CONTRACTORS ON THIS PROJECT.

I HAD TO ATTEND
THOSE MEETINGS TO KEEP MY JOB.

NOW, SERIOUSLY,
WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO YOU IS THIS,

THAT IT WAS YOU FELLAS--
YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES--

THAT REALLY PUT
THIS THING OVER.

YOU STUCK TOGETHER
AND YOU FOUGHT FOR WHAT YOU WANTED,

AND IF I GAVE YOU
ANY HELP AT ALL,

WELL, BELIEVE ME,
I AM VERY HAPPY,

AND I'M VERY PROUD
THAT I WAS ABLE TO.

THANKS, FRANK.

EDITH! EDITH!

YES?

I CAN'T FIND
THAT OTHER ROD.

WELL, IT'S IN THERE.

WELL, IT'S NOT
IN HERE. I'VE--

BACK IN THE CORNER
BEHIND THE TABLE LEAVES.

I'VE LOOKED
BACK OF THE TABLE LEA--

OH.

HONESTLY.
SOMETIMES I WONDER.

YOU KNOW THE NIGHTS ARE
COLD UP THERE.

YOU FORGET YOUR
HEAVY ARMY JACKET AND YOUR HIP BOOTS.

I WON'T NEED THEM.

OH, NO? WELL, IF YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOUR FEET WET AGAIN--

I WAS GOING FISHING
BEFORE YOU PUT ON

YOUR FIRST PAIR
OF BOBBYSOCKS.

I'M GOING OUT
ON A NICE LITTLE LAKE IN A NICE, DRY BOAT.

AND GET A NICE,
FAT COLD.

OW!

BE CAREFUL, NOW!
YOU GET THAT--

HEY, YOU'RE GETTING
KIND OF FRESH LATELY, AREN'T YOU?

GETTING USED TO YOU, THAT'S ALL.
YOU'VE LOST YOUR GLAMOUR.

OH, I HAVE, HAVE I?

YOU CERTAINLY HAVE.

LOST MY GLAMOUR, HUH?

MM-HMM.

LOST ALL MY GLAMOUR,
HUH?

MM-HMM.

HEY, WHY DON'T YOU GO OUT
AND TELL FRED THAT, UM,

I HAD TO GO
TO THE CONVENTION. YOU WANT TO?

THINK HE'D FALL
FOR THAT?

SURE.

OH, NO. OH, NO.
YOU WANTED TO GO FISHING, YOU'RE GOING FISHING.

HE'LL BE RIGHT OUT, FRED!

BYE-BYE, GEORGIE!
TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOTHER, NOW!

YOU BE A GOOD BOY, NOW, GEORGIE.
MOMMY WILL BE RIGHT BACK.

HELLO, YOUNGSTER.
HI.

FINALLY LET HIM
OUT OF YOUR CLUTCHES, EH?

IT WAS A BATTLE,
FRED, BUT I GOT AWAY FROM HER.

HA HA!

SAY, EDITH,
WHY DON'T YOU AND I GO UP TO THE LAKE?

WE'LL LEAVE HIM
TO DO THE HOUSEKEEPING.

WHY, YOU OLD GOAT.
AREN'T YOU ASHAMED.

WELL, GUESS IT'S
NOT A GOOD IDEA.

I DON'T THINK I CAN
TRUST MIKE WITH MARTHA.

LISTEN TO HIM,
WILL YOU!

WE'LL ONLY BE GONE
A COUPLE OF DAYS.

PROBABLY BE BACK
TOMORROW NIGHT.

OH, DON'T HURRY
ON MY ACCOUNT.

WE'RE GOING TO
PAINT THE TOWN, AREN'T WE, MARTHA?

UH-HUH.

DON'T GO AND LET
THE BABY OUT. HA HA HA!

BYE! HAVE FUN!

SAY, IS THAT
YOUR PHONE OR MINE?

OH, IT'S MINE. BYE.

BYE.

HELLO?

HELLO.

HELLO.
HELLO, WHO IS IT?

WAIT HERE.

JUST A MINUTE!

YES?

IS THIS WHERE
FRANK ENLEY LIVES?

YES. IS THERE SOMETHING
I CAN DO? I'M HIS WIFE.

NO, I WANT TO SEE HIM.

OH. I'M SORRY.
MR. ENLEY'S OUT OF TOWN.

PERHAPS I COULD--
WELL, IS IT BUSINESS OR...

NOT EXACTLY.
SOME OTHER TIME.

IS THERE ANY MESSAGE?
CAN I TELL HIM WHO CALLED?

WHERE DID YOU SAY
HE WENT?

REDWOOD LAKE.

IF IT'S IMPORTANT,
I THINK THEY HAVE A PHONE.

NO, THANK YOU.
SOME OTHER TIME.

NOW, THE NUMBER'S
IN THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT.

IF YOU HAVE ANY TROUBLE,
JUST CALL US UP,

AND WE'LL SEND
A MAN OUT TO YOU.

YOU'RE OUT OF TOWN,
WE'LL PUT YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE AUTO CLUB.

NOW, IF YOU LEAVE THE STATE,
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY US.

HERE, YOU GOT TO SIGN
THIS ONE, TOO, RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S A BOY.

NOW, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP
THE CAR OUT ANOTHER WEEK,

JUST SEND US A MONEY ORDER.
THE BOSS DON'T LIKE CHECKS.

WE'LL CHECK YOUR MILEAGE
AS SOON AS YOU--

GOT A FELLOW NAMED ENLEY
STAYING HERE?

YEAH, FRANK ENLEY--
SANTA LISA MAN.

WHERE IS HE?

CABIN NUMBER 4.

WHERE IS THAT?

ACROSS THE ROAD.

HE AIN'T THERE
NOW, THOUGH.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

BOAT NUMBER 14.
THEY'RE FISHING OVER IN THE INLET NOW.

GIVE ME A BOAT.

YOU WANT BAIT
AND TACKLE, I SUPPOSE.

$5.00 DEPOSIT,
75 CENTS AN HOUR.

GET YOUR DEPOSIT BACK
IF THE BOAT AIN'T DAMAGED.

YOU TAKE THIS ONE.

WAIT A MINUTE, LET ME
GIVE YOU A HAND, THERE.

SOME LAKE--SWARMING
WITH THEM, HUH?

PATIENCE, LAD,
PATIENCE.

CAN I GIVE YOU A HAND
WITH YOUR FISH?

THAT'S VERY FUNNY.

HEH HEH HEH.
LET'S HAVE A COUPLE OF BEERS, POP.

WHERE'S YOUR FISH?

GO ON, TELL THE MAN
WHERE YOUR FISH ARE.

WHERE'S OUR FISH?
WELL, HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT?

WE OUGHT TO BE ASKING
FOR OUR MONEY BACK.

DON'T LET HIM
THROW YOU, POP.

HE'S JUST PRESERVING
HIS DIGNITY.

SAY, IF I CAN'T
CATCH THEM, THEY AIN'T THERE.

THAT FELLA FIND YOU?

WHO'S THAT?

FELLA WAS LOOKING FOR YOU.

HIRED A BOAT,
WENT OUT AFTER YOU.

DIDN'T TELL ME HIS NAME.
WAS A YOUNG FELLOW.

WALKED WITH SORT OF A LIMP.

THAT'S ANOTHER THING.
I'VE FISHED EVERY LAKE IN THESE HILLS...

COME ON, LET'S GO.

MORNING, NOON
AND NIGHT,

AND IT'S BEEN
MY EXPERIENCE THAT--

LET'S GO, FRED.

WELL, AREN'T YOU
GOING TO FINISH YOUR BEER?

WHILE YOU'RE OUT THERE
IN THE AFTERNOON, THEY'RE BITING IN THE MORNING.

YOU'RE OUT THERE
IN THE MORNING--

LOOK, FRED, I THINK I'D
BETTER GO ON BACK TO TOWN.

GOING BACK TO TOWN?
YOU MEAN TONIGHT?

NO, I MEAN NOW.

BUT WE JUST GOT HERE.
I THOUGHT YOU WANT--

I'M SORRY, FRED,
BUT I'VE GOT TO.

WHAT ARE YOU SORE ABOUT?

I'M NOT SORE.

WELL, YOU SOUND SORE.

I'M NOT SORE, IT'S JUST
THAT I-I REMEMBERED SOMETHING, THAT'S ALL.

BREAD AND BUTTER.

WELL, LET'S GET SOME CHOW,
AND THEN WE CAN...

NO, I WANT TO
GO BACK NOW.

WELL, IF THAT'S THE WAY
YOU FEEL ABOUT IT,

I GUESS I DON'T HAVE
MUCH SAY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

LOOK, FRED, UH,
THROW THAT STUFF IN THE CAR, WILL YOU,

AND I'LL, UH,
SETTLE UP WITH POP.

OK, BUT I DON'T GET IT.

YOU COME ALL THE WAY
UP HERE, TURN AROUND, AND GO BACK.

POP. POP?

WE GOT TO LEAVE.
WHAT'S THE DAMAGE?

LEAVING? WHY DON'T YOU
WAIT TILL MORNING?

COME ON,
LET'S HAVE THE BILL.

LET'S SEE...

THERE'S THE
CABIN--$3.00; BOAT--$2.25;

THE BAIT, A DOLLAR;
TWO BEERS IS 40 CENTS...

LET'S GO, POP.
WHAT IS IT?

$3.00, $5.25,
$6.25, $6.65.

YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK,
YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK, THAT'S ALL.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

GOOD NIGHT, KID.

MARTHA?

NO, IT'S ME.

WELL, HEY,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING BACK SO SOON?

SOMETHING GO WRONG?

Frank: NO, NO.

WELL, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT,
AREN'T YOU?

YEAH, SURE.
THE FISHING WASN'T VERY GOOD,

AND IT GOT
KIND OF CHILLY.

THE BIG OUTDOOR MAN.

I REMEMBERED
A COUPLE OF THINGS

THAT I OUGHT TO
TAKE CARE OF

AT THE OFFICE
TOMORROW,

SO, I JUST DECIDED
TO COME ON BACK.

DID YOU GET
SOMETHING TO EAT?

WHAT? OH, NO.

WELL, NAILS OR NO NAILS,
I GUESS I BETTER FIX SOMETHING. YOU MUST BE STARVED.

YEAH, I AM
A LITTLE BIT.

WELL, DON'T EXPECT
ANYTHING FANCY.

I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE
TO SHOP TODAY.

ANYBODY BEEN AROUND
WHILE I WAS GONE?

NO, BUT I'VE
BEEN AWAY, MYSELF.

OH, WAIT A MINUTE.
THERE WAS A MAN HERE, JUST AFTER YOU LEFT.

WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?

OH, HE WAS
JUST AVERAGE. HE WAS--HE WAS LAME.

DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
LIKE THAT?

NO.

GUESS HE'LL
BE BACK IF IT'S ANYTHING IMPORTANT.

YOU CAN SET THE TABLE
IF YOU WANT.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?
LET'S, UH, LET'S EAT IN THE KITCHEN TONIGHT.

DO YOU WANT TO?

WE COULD GO OUT
IF YOU'D RATHER.

NO, NO. NO, I DON'T
FEEL LIKE GOING OUT.

ALL RIGHT. COME ON OUT
AND TALK TO ME, THEN.

I'LL SEE WHAT
I CAN WHIP UP.

WAIT TILL I TELL YOU
ABOUT THAT MARTHA.

WE ALMOST WOUND UP
IN THE CLINK.

IF I HADN'T TALKED
LIKE A DUTCH UNCLE, WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE.

FRANK?

I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

OH, ALL RIGHT.

HOW ABOUT A TOMATO OMELET?
DOES THAT SOUND GOOD?

YEAH, THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

YOU KNOW, HONESTLY,
THAT MARTHA'S A MENACE.

FIRST, SHE BREEZED
RIGHT THROUGH A BOULEVARD STOP, AND--

OH, OPEN THIS FOR ME,
WILL YOU, HONEY?

OF COURSE, THERE WOULD BE
A POLICE CAR THERE.

HEY. OPEN IT.

OH, OK.

ANYWAY, MARTHA TRIED
TO GET HIM AN ARGUMENT.

OF COURSE, SHE DIDN'T HAVE
A LEG TO STAND ON.

STILL, THE WAY THEY WERE
TALKING TO HER,

I WAS GETTING SO MAD
THAT I COULD HAVE STEPPED UP--

OH, ANSWER IT,
WILL YOU, HONEY?

LET'S LET IT RING,
SHALL WE?

WHY ARE YOU SO LAZY
ALL OF A SUDDEN?

HONEY, IT MIGHT BE
MOTHER LONG DISTANCE.

IT COULDN'T BE
YOUR MOTHER.

YOUR MOTHER CALLED
LAST WEEK.

SHE WOULDN'T CALL
AGAIN SO SOON.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE
STUBBORN ABOUT IT...

I'LL GET IT MYSELF.

NO, DON'T ANSWER IT.

FRANK, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING'S THE MATTER.

THEN WHAT IS IT?
TELL ME.

I JUST DON'T WANT
TO TALK TO ANYBODY OR LISTEN TO ANYBODY.

I DON'T WANT TO
SEE ANYBODY.

I WANT TO SPEND
A QUIET EVENING IN MY OWN HOME.

IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH?

NO.

NO, OF COURSE NOT.

MORE COFFEE?

NO, THANKS.

CAN I GIVE YOU A HAND
WITH THE DISHES?

NO, THEY WON'T
TAKE A MINUTE.

WHAT IS IT?

SHH!

FRANK, THAT'S
THE MAN THAT WAS HERE THIS AFTERNOON.

YES, I KNOW.

BUT WHO IS HE?
WHY DO WE HAVE TO HIDE?

HE'S SOMEBODY
I DON'T WANT TO SEE.

FRANK, THIS IS OUR HOUSE--
OUR OWN HOUSE!

LOOK, DON'T TALK
SO LOUD.

I WAS ONLY WHISPERING.

HE FOLLOWED ME
UP TO THE LAKE.

I DIDN'T WANT
TO TELL YOU.

I THOUGHT MAYBE HE
WOULDN'T COME BACK.

HE ASKED ME
WHERE YOU WERE.

WHY DID YOU TELL HIM?
WHAT MADE YOU--

I DIDN'T KNOW.

SORRY.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.

WHAT DOES HE WANT?

NOTHING. HE'S A...
GUY THAT I KNEW IN THE ARMY.

HE'S NOT RIGHT.
THEY HAD HIM IN THE HOSPITAL.

WELL, DOES HE WANT
HELP OR MONEY? IS THAT IT?

NO, NO.
I WAS HIS C.O.,

AND HE'S GOT SOME
CRAZY IDEA

THAT EVERYTHING
THAT EVER HAPPENED TO HIM IS MY FAULT.

IF I SEE HIM,
THERE WILL JUST BE A SCENE.

I DON'T WANT
TO SEE HIM.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
WE JUST CAN'T HIDE.

JUST FORGET ABOUT IT.

BABY, GO ON TO BED,
PLEASE.

HE'LL GO AWAY IF HE THINKS
WE'RE NOT AT HOME.

HE'S STILL THERE.

HE'LL GO AWAY
AFTER A WHILE.

BUT, FRANK, I STILL DON'T
UNDERSTAND. WHY--

EDITH, A LOT OF THINGS
HAPPENED IN THE WAR

THAT YOU WOULDN'T
UNDERSTAND.

WHY SHOULD YOU?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND THEM MYSELF.

COME ON, LET'S GO ON UP.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, GEORGIE.
IT WAS JUST A BAD DREAM. IT'S ALL RIGHT, HONEY.

GO TO SLEEP, NOW.
GO ON TO SLEEP. THERE.

IS HE STILL THERE?

YEAH.

HE WON'T
COME BACK AGAIN.

LOOK, BABY, GO ON
BACK TO BED.

IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW.
THERE'S NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

JUST DOWNSTAIRS.
I'LL BE UP IN A MINUTE.

FRANK.

I WAS JUST...

I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHING.

WHEN WE PACKED UP
ALL OF A SUDDEN

AND CAME OUT HERE
FROM SYRACUSE--

3,000 MILES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY--

WAS THAT ON ACCOUNT OF HIM?

NOT COLLECTING YOUR
TERMINAL LEAVE PAY,

DROPPING ALL OUR
FRIENDS BACK EAST.

OH, IT WAS,
WASN'T IT, FRANK?

OH, I KNOW YOU WENT THROUGH
SOME BAD TIMES IN THE WAR.

I KNOW SOME THINGS MUST HAVE
HAPPENED THAT HURT YOU-- I NEVER ASKED.

BUT I AM ASKING NOW, FRANK.
I WANT TO KNOW.

YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?

JOE PARKSON.
WAS HE--

YOU SAW HIM
THIS AFTERNOON?

BUT I REMEMBER HIM
FROM YOUR LETTERS. HE WAS YOUR FRIEND.

YES. HE WAS
MY BOMBARDIER.

FRANK, I THINK I KNOW NOW.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

HE WAS WITH YOU ALL THE TIME
YOU WERE FLYING--25 MISSIONS.

IT WAS 21.

AND A YEAR
IN THE PRISON CAMP.

WAS THAT IT?
WAS THAT WHAT DID IT TO HIM-- THE STRAIN HE WENT THROUGH?

THINGS LIKE THAT
HAPPEN SOMETIMES.

WHAT DID YOU MEAN
WHEN YOU SAID HE'D MAKE A SCENE?

DID YOU MEAN HE MIGHT
BE VIOLENT?

HE MIGHT BE.

WHAT HAPPENED
AT THE LAKE THIS AFTERNOON?

NOTHING. HE CAME
UP THERE AND--

FRANK, LOOK AT ME!

HE TRIED TO KILL YOU,
DIDN'T HE?

NO, NO, HE WAS
NOWHERE NEAR ME.

I JUST LEFT,
THAT'S ALL.

OH, THIS HAS GONE
FAR ENOUGH!

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?

I'M CALLING THE POLICE!

NO, HE'S SICK.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.

WHAT IF HE COMES BACK?

HE WON'T COME BACK.

HOW DO YOU KNOW?
HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'LL DO?

I KNOW HE WOULDN'T
HURT YOU OR THE BABY. YOU SAW THAT YOURSELF.

I'M NOT THINKING
ABOUT MYSELF!

I KNOW, EDITH, I KNOW,
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO--

I DON'T CARE HOW SICK HE IS
OR WHAT A GREAT PAL HE WAS!

I'M NOT GOING TO
LET YOU GET KILLED

BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU OWE
SOMETHING TO SOME LUNATIC!

THIS IS NOT A THING YOU CAN
GO TO THE POLICE ABOUT.

WELL, THEN, CALL THE ARMY,
AN ARMY HOSPITAL.

TELL THEM WHAT HE'S
TRIED TO DO, AND TELL THEM TO COME AND GET HIM!

NO.

FRANK.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT
MADE HIM THE WAY HE IS.

I DO.

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

I DON'T KNOW.

FRANK!

NOW, GET OUT OF HERE.

BACK IN THE HOUSE.

HE'S GONE,
HE'S LEFT TOWN.

LOOK IF YOU DON'T
BELIEVE ME.

THE GARAGE--
HE TOOK THE CAR.

OOH!

WHERE IS HE?

I TOLD YOU, HE'S GONE.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.
I DON'T KNOW WHEN HE'LL BE BACK.

UPSTAIRS.

HE'S GOT IT NICE HERE,
HASN'T HE?

REAL NICE.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
GEORGIE. DON'T CRY.

JUST SO THERE WON'T BE
ANY MISUNDERSTANDING,

TELL HIM I'LL BE BACK.

IF YOU ARE, THE POLICE
WILL BE HERE TO MEET YOU.

BETTER CHECK WITH YOUR
HUSBAND. I DON'T THINK HE'D LIKE THAT.

WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE
US ALONE? WHY DON'T YOU GO AWAY?

HE NEVER DID
ANYTHING TO YOU.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU.
HE TOLD ME ALL ABOUT YOU.

HE THINKS HE HAS TO PROTECT
YOU, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU
WENT THROUGH TOGETHER, YOU'RE JUST A MENACE.

WHAT DID HE TELL
YOU ABOUT ME?

WHAT DID HE TELL
YOU?

DID HE TELL YOU
THAT I'M A CRIPPLE BECAUSE OF HIM?

DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT
THE MEN THAT ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF HIM?

DID HE TELL YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM BEFORE THEY DIED?

MIKE GARVEY...

HE HAD A WIFE
AND A KID, TOO.

MADE A NUISANCE OUT
OF HIMSELF SHOWING EVERYBODY THEIR PICTURE.

AFTERWARDS, SOMEBODY
GOT THE PICTURE BACK.

IT WAS SO COVERED
WITH BLOOD, YOU COULDN'T TELL WHAT IT WAS.

THE OTHER MEN...
WERE MOANING OUTSIDE THE WIRE ALL NIGHT LONG.

I WAS LUCKY.
THEY THOUGHT I WAS DEAD AND LEFT ME THERE.

BUT THAT'S NOT HIS FAULT.
HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

HE WAS A STOOL PIGEON
FOR THE NAZIS.

YOU'RE LYING.
YOU'RE CRAZY!

HE TOLD ME YOU WERE CRAZY!

THEY EVEN HAD TO PUT
YOU IN THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE YOU WERE CRAZY.

SURE, I WAS
IN THE HOSPITAL,

BUT I DIDN'T GO CRAZY.

I KEPT MYSELF SANE.

YOU KNOW HOW?

I KEPT SAYING TO MYSELF,

"JOE, YOU'RE THE
ONLY ONE ALIVE WHO KNOWS WHAT HE DID.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT'S
GOT TO FIND HIM, JOE."

I KEPT REMEMBERING.

I KEPT THINKING BACK
TO THAT PRISON CAMP.

ONE OF THEM LASTED
TILL MORNING.

BY THEN, YOU COULDN'T TELL
HIS VOICE BELONGED TO A MAN.

HE SOUNDED LIKE A DOG
THAT GOT HIT BY A TRUCK AND LEFT IN THE STREET.

GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE
AND LEAVE US ALONE!

SAVE IT.
HE ISN'T WORTH IT.

YOU BE GOOD NOW, GEORGIE.

MOMMY'S GOT TO GO NEXT
DOOR AND SHE'LL GET YOUR BREAKFAST RIGHT AWAY.

HI, EDITH.

MARTHA,
WOULD YOU MIND TERRIBLY,

COULD YOU TAKE CARE OF
GEORGIE FOR ME? I HAVE TO GO TO LOS ANGELES.

WHY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?

NOTHING'S THE MATTER.
I'VE JUST GOT TO SEE FRANK.

SOMETHING'S COME UP,
THAT'S ALL.

FRANK GO TO LOS ANGELES?
HE MUST HAVE LEFT IN SORT OF A HURRY, DIDN'T HE?

YES, HE DECIDED TO GO
TO THE CONVENTION AFTER ALL.

AH, LOOK HONEY,

I'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 35 YEARS
AND BELIEVE ME, THESE THINGS ARE NEVER AS SERIOUS...

IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT,
MARTHA.

PLEASE, MARTHA,
I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT.

CAN YOU TAKE CARE OF
GEORGIE FOR ME?

WELL, YEAH, SURE.

I HAVE A DENTIST APPOINTMENT
THIS MORNING,

BUT YOU CAN BRING HIM OVER
AFTER LUNCH THOUGH, EH?

WELL, ALL RIGHT.
THANKS, MARTHA.

FRANK!

EDITH.

OH, FRANK!

WHAT'S THE MATTER NOW?
WHAT'S HAPPENED?

FRANK, I--

EDITH, GET AHOLD
OF YOURSELF. WHAT IS IT?

HE CAME BACK.
HE WAS IN THE HOUSE. HE FORCED HIS WAY IN.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WHAT DID HE DO? HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO HURT YOU--

NO, NOTHING LIKE THAT.
HE JUST FRIGHTENED ME.

OH, FRANK. THE AWFUL
THINGS HE SAID.

WHAT DID HE TELL YOU?

OH, WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES THAT MAKE NOW? FRANK, HE HAD A--

TELL ME WHAT HE SAID!
WHAT DID HE TELL YOU?

SOME CRAZY STUFF ABOUT
SOMETHING THAT YOU DID IN THAT PRISON CAMP.

OH, DARLING,
I KNOW IT ISN'T TRUE, BUT HE BELIEVED IT.

THAT'S WHY
HE'S SO DANGEROUS.

FRANK, HE HAD A GUN!
HE WANTED TO KILL YOU!

YOU'VE GOT TO THINK
OF YOURSELF!

FRANK, WE'VE GOT TO
DO SOMETHING!

THERE'S NOTHING
TO DO.

FRANK! A MAN'S TRYING
TO MURDER YOU!

OF COURSE THERE'S
SOMETHING YOU CAN DO,

AND IF YOU WON'T
DO IT, I WILL!

NO.

THERE'S NOTHING YOU
CAN DO, THERE'S NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO.

BUT WHY NOT?

BECAUSE...I TOLD YOU
HE WAS CRAZY.

WELL, HE'S NOT.

NO?

I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU.
I--I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW IT.

WHY SHOULD YOU
CARRY IT, TOO?

ALL RIGHT.

SUPPOSE THERE IS A GRAIN
OF TRUTH TO IT.

SUPPOSE YOU DID HAVE SOME
KIND OF TROUBLE WITH HIM.

I CAN UNDERSTAND HOW
SOMETHING LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN IN A PRISON CAMP.

NO. YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT WAS IT, FRANK?

WHATEVER YOU DID,
YOU MUST HAVE HAD REASONS.

YOU CAN ALWAYS FIND
REASONS, EVEN THE NAZIS HAD REASONS.

I DID IT TO SAVE LIVES.
THAT WAS MY REASON.

DID WHAT?
WHAT DID YOU DO?

TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED,
FRANK, PLEASE.

AFTER WE WERE SHOT DOWN,
WE WERE SENT TO A PRISON CAMP--

JOE AND MYSELF AND SOME
OTHER OFFICERS--I WROTE YOU ABOUT THAT.

I KNOW.

I WAS THE SENIOR OFFICER
IN MY BUNK HOUSE.

I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
REST OF THE MEN.

TOWARD THE END,
IT GOT--

WE WERE ALL STARVING
TO DEATH AND GOING CRAZY.

ONE DAY, JOE CAME TO ME.

THEY'D DUG A TUNNEL,
HE AND SOME OF THE OTHERS.

THEY WERE GOING
TO TRY TO ESCAPE.

I TOLD HIM NOT TO DO IT.
I BEGGED HIM.

A WEEK BEFORE IN THE BRITISH
SECTION, 12 MEN HAD BEEN SHOT FOR THE SAME THING.

TOLD HIM THAT THEY DIDN'T
HAVE A CHANCE, THEY'D BE DEAD BEFORE THEY STARTED.

HE WOULDN'T LISTEN TO ME.

I'D LAY AWAKE ALL NIGHT
TRYING TO THINK--

TRYING TO FIGURE UP SOME
WAY OF STOPPING THEM.

NEXT MORNING, I WENT
TO THE PRISON COMMANDANT. HE WAS AN SS COLONEL.

I MADE A DEAL WITH HIM.

FRANK...

I SAID THAT I'D TELL HIM
IF HE'D GO EASY ON THE MEN.

HE PROMISED...
WORD OF AN OFFICER.

SO I WAITED.
I WAITED ALL DAY.

I THOUGHT THE GUARDS
WOULD CLOSE UP THE TUNNEL OR SOMETHING, BUT THEY DIDN'T.

THEY ACTED AS THOUGH
THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT IT.

AT NIGHT, I TRIED TO TALK
TO JOE AGAIN, BUT...

HE WOULDN'T-- HE WOULDN'T
PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME.

THE MEN WERE GETTING DESPERATE,
ANYTHING TO GET OUT.

SO THEY STARTED THROUGH.

AND THEN I HEARD THE GUARDS AT
THE OTHER END OF THE TUNNEL.

THEY'D SET A TRAP FOR THEM.

THEY BAYONETTED THEM,
THEY SET DOGS ON THEM.

AND WHEN IT WAS OVER,
THEY DIDN'T EVEN SHOOT THEM, THEY JUST LEFT THEM THERE.

OH, FRANK...

YOU ONLY DID WHAT YOU
THOUGHT WAS RIGHT.

YOU MADE A MISTAKE,
AN AWFUL ONE,

BUT YOU CAN'T SUFFER
ALL YOUR LIFE FOR ONE MISTAKE.

WE CAN DO SOMETHING NOW.
WE'LL GO TO WASHINGTON, IF WE HAVE TO--

AND HAVE IT IN EVERY
PAPER IN THE COUNTRY?

WE CAN SAVE THE CLIPPINGS
FOR GEORGIE WHEN HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO READ.

BUT, FRANK, THEY WOULDN'T
LISTEN TO PARKSON.

THEY'D LISTEN TO YOU.
THEY'D KNOW THE TRUTH.

SURE THEY'D KNOW, JUST
LIKE THE NAZIS KNEW. THEY KNEW BEFORE I DID,

EVEN BEFORE JOE DID.

DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT
OUT FOR YOU? DO I HAVE TO DRAW YOU A PICTURE?

I WAS AN INFORMER!

IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY
DIFFERENCE WHY I DID IT.

I BETRAYED MY MEN!
THEY WERE DEAD!

THE NAZIS EVEN PAID ME
A PRIZE. THEY GAVE ME FOOD, AND I ATE IT!

I ATE IT!

OH, FRANK, NO!

I HADN'T DONE IT JUST
TO SAVE THEIR LIVES.

I'D TALKED MYSELF INTO
BELIEVING IT, THAT HE'D KEEP HIS WORD.

BUT IN MY GUTS,
FROM THE START, I THINK I KNEW HE WOULDN'T.

MAYBE I DIDN'T
EVEN CARE.

THEY WERE DEAD AND
I WAS EATING AND MAYBE THAT'S ALL I DID IT FOR,

TO SAVE ONE MAN--ME.

THERE WERE 6 WIDOWS,

THERE WERE 10 MEN DEAD,
AND I COULDN'T EVEN STOP EATING.

GO ON. GO ON HOME.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SIT AND HEAR ME.

WE WERE IN THE SAME
OUTFIT TOGETHER,

AND I THOUGHT
AS LONG AS I WAS PASSING THROUGH TOWN

I'D LOOK HIM UP,

BUT HE SEEMS TO BE
KIND OF HARD TO FIND.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU
LIKE THIS, BUT--

OH, IT'S NO BOTHER
AT ALL,

ONLY I'M AFRAID
I CAN'T HELP YOU MUCH.

HE'S OUT OF TOWN.

YES, HE'S GONE
TO LOS ANGELES.

BUILDERS AND CONTRACTORS
CONVENTION?

WELL, THAT SHOULDN'T BE
TOO HARD TO FIND.

THANKS FOR
THE INFORMATION, MRS. FINNEY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YES, MA'AM?

EXCUSE ME, DO YOU HAVE
A MR. PARKSON REGISTERED?

JOSEPH PARKSON.

JUST A MINUTE,
MADAM.

NEVER MIND. JOE!

HOW MUCH DO I OWE YOU?

WELL, YOU COULD BE
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC.

DO I LOOK THAT BAD?

I HAVEN'T SEEN A MIRROR
SINCE I GOT OFF THE PLANE.

$7.00, SIR.

THANK YOU.

HOW DID YOU FIND ME?

IT WAS NOTHING MUCH,
ONCE I GOT OUT HERE.

I JUST ASKED PEOPLE
AND DESCRIBED YOU.

OH.

NO, JOE, IT HAD NOTHING
TO DO WITH THAT. I JUST--

WELL, YOU CAN'T
STAY HERE NOW. I'M LEAVING.

WHY? WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
JOE, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!

I HAVEN'T GOT TIME
NOW. ANYWAY, YOU'VE GOT TO GO BACK.

JOE!

ANN, YOU SHOULDN'T
HAVE COME HERE. YOU NEED ANY MONEY?

NO. NO, LISTEN--

THEN GET ON A TRAIN.
GET BACK TO NEW YORK RIGHT NOW, QUICK!

WHY? WHAT'S GOING
TO HAPPEN?

JOE, YOU PROMISED ME!

ALL RIGHT, I PROMISED YOU!
WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?

ANYWAY, IT'S GOT NOTHING
TO DO WITH THAT.

I GOT AN OFFER
OF A JOB OUT HERE.

I WAS GOING TO WIRE YOU
WHEN I GET SET.

DON'T LIE TO ME.
DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT LOOK ON YOUR FACE?

I THOUGHT I'D SEEN
THE LAST OF IT. HERE...

I FOUND THIS IN
YOUR ROOM IN NEW YORK.

JOE,
YOU CAN'T DO IT.

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YET?

JOE, DO YOU LOVE ME
OR DON'T YOU? YOU CAN'T DO IT--

MAYBE I DON'T
LOVE YOU ENOUGH.

JOE...

JOE!

MRS. ENLEY?

YES.

I HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOUR HUSBAND.
HE'S NOT HERE.

HAS A MAN BEEN
HERE TO SEE HIM-- A MAN NAMED PARKSON?

WAIT...

LISTEN, I'M HIS GIRL--
JOE PARKSON'S GIRL.

DO YOU THINK I WANT HIM
TO BE A MURDERER?

I TOOK HIM NEXT DOOR.

HE'S 2 YEARS OLD.

WHAT'S THIS FOR?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
HOW TO SHOOT IT.

THOUGHT MAYBE I COULD
FIND HIM--PARKSON--

TRY TO SCARE HIM OFF.

HE WON'T SCARE.

I WISH IT WERE
THAT SIMPLE.

WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND,
MRS. ENLEY?

YOU MUST TRUST ME.

WHY SHOULD I?
YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT FRANK.

LOOK, I'VE COME
A LONG WAY TO STOP THIS.

MAYBE NOBODY CAN,
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS A CHANCE.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?
I'VE SEEN HIM.

HE'S VICIOUS.
HE'S A KILLER!

IS HE? WHAT ABOUT
YOUR HUSBAND?

DO YOU CALL HIM
A MURDERER? NO.

HE DIDN'T MEAN IT.

HE'S BEEN SICK
WITH IT.

THEY'RE BOTH SICK
WITH IT,

AND I WANT JOE
TO BE WELL.

WHERE IS YOUR HUSBAND?

I DON'T KNOW.

TELL ME.
I'LL CALL THE POLICE IF I HAVE TO.

NO!

WOULD YOU RATHER
SEE HIM DEAD?

HE WON'T KILL FRANK.
HE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE HE IS!

HE'S FOUND OUT.
NO!

I JUST SAW HIM.
HE WAS LEAVING TOWN.

I'VE COME 3,000 MILES,
AND HE COULDN'T WAIT 5 MINUTES TO TALK TO ME.

HE WAS IN A HURRY,
MRS. ENLEY,

BECAUSE HE KNEW
WHERE HE WAS GOING.

I WANT THE BLAKE HOTEL
IN LOS ANGELES.

MR. FRANK ENLEY,
PERSON-TO-PERSON.

WHO?

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

PARKSON'S FOUND OUT
WHERE YOU ARE. HE'S COMING THERE.

I CAN'T--

BE QUIET A MINUTE.

I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

HOW COULD YOU HAVE
HEARD WHAT HE SAID?

YOU WASN'T THERE.

OH, I WAS THERE.

YOU WAS NOT THERE.
YOU WAS DRUNK.

I WAS DRUNK,
BUT I WAS THERE.

WHERE?

SO LONG, HARRY.

WE'RE CLOSED, JACK.

LOOK, I'VE GOT MONEY.

YEAH,
BUT WE'RE CLOSED.

JACK, FOR YOU,
I DON'T LOSE A LICENSE.

SORRY, NO GO.

PUT IT AWAY, WILL YOU?
DON'T COAX ME.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
DOWN HERE, HANDSOME?

LOOKING FOR SOME KICKS?

NO PLACE TO GO?

NO.

HEY, YOU REALLY NEED
THAT DRINK.

WELL, I GOT INFLUENCE.
WANT ME TO USE IT?

COME ON, TIM,
GIVE US ONE FOR THE ROAD.

A QUICKIE--JUST ONE.

OK?

HEY, STICK AROUND.
HE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

HEY, WHAT'S YOUR HURRY,
HANDSOME?

GEE, YOU OUGHT
TO HAVE A COAT. IT'S A TERRIBLE NIGHT.

WHAT'S YOUR NAME,
HANDSOME?

FRANK.

I HAD A BETTER PLACE,
BUT IT GOT TOO EXPENSIVE.

YOU KNOW, IT'S TERRIBLE
NOWADAYS, TRYING TO FIND A DECENT PLACE.

GO ON, DRINK IT.
MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER.

CHEER UP, FRANKIE.

SO YOU GOT TROUBLES.

THERE'S PLENTY ELSE
TO THINK ABOUT--

LAUGHS, KICKS...

SO YOU'RE UNHAPPY.
RELAX.

NO LAW SAYS
YOU GOT TO BE HAPPY.

LOOK AT ME.

I'M NOT HAPPY...
BUT I GET MY KICKS.

GEE, HOW COULD
ANYBODY STAND IT

IF THEY DIDN'T GET
THEIR KICKS?

THAT BAD, HUH?

WHAT IS IT--
LOVE TROUBLE OR MONEY TROUBLE?

LISTEN, FRANKIE,
I'VE SEEN 'EM ALL.

I'VE SEEN ALL THE
TROUBLES IN THE WORLD,

AND THEY BOIL DOWN
TO JUST THOSE TWO.

YOU'RE BROKE
OR YOU'RE LONELY...

OR BOTH.

BUT YOU LOOK
LIKE THE KIND

WHO PROBABLY HAS
A NICE LITTLE WIFE...

NICE LITTLE HOUSE
AND KIDS.

I HAVE.

YEAH? NOT NO MORE?

WHAT HAPPENED? SOMEBODY
ELSE COME ALONG FOR YOU?

FOR HER, MAYBE?

SO IT'S MONEY.

NO.

WELL, THEN WHAT HAVE
YOU GOT TO WORRY ABOUT?

LISTEN, FRANKIE BOY,
IF YOU'VE GOT MONEY, NOTHING CAN BE TOO BAD.

WITH MONEY,
YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING,

GET OUT OF TOWN
IF YOU HAD TO.

GO SOMEPLACE ELSE AND
START ALL OVER AGAIN...

FREE.

MONEY...

MONEY...

YES, I'VE GOT MONEY.

WHAT, ARE THEY
PAGING HIM NOW?

WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE
HE'LL BE THERE?

OH, HE'LL BE THERE,
ALL RIGHT.

I HOPE YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

HOW MUCH IS THIS BUSINESS
OF YOURS WORTH, ANYWAY?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.
20,000, MAYBE.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

HEY, WHAT KIND OF A JAM
ARE YOU IN?

GO AHEAD NOW.
DO LIKE I TOLD YOU.

IS THIS MR. PARKSON?

I'M SPEAKING FOR FRANK.

YEAH, ENLEY.

HE SAYS HE WANTS TO MAKE
THINGS RIGHT WITH YOU.

HE SAYS HE'S GOT A BUSINESS.
IT'S WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

HE SAYS IF YOU'LL GO
BACK EAST AND FORGET IT, HE'LL GIVE IT TO YOU.

THE WHOLE THING.

HE SAYS HE'LL SELL IT
AND GIVE...

WHAT IS IT?
WHAT IS IT?

HE'S LAUGHING.

WHERE IS HE?

HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

HEY, FRANKIE, LISTEN.

HEY, WAIT!

I KNOW A GUY
WE CAN GO TO.

WE'LL FIGURE OUT
SOMETHING.

IT CAN'T BE THAT BAD.
YOU'LL SEE.

IT'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
YOU'LL JUST SEE.

HE'S OK.
IS GAVERY HERE TONIGHT?

YEAH.

EVENING, MR. GAVERY.

HELLO, GIRL.

YOU GOT TROUBLES AGAIN?

NO, IT'S HIM.

CAN HE PAY?

HE'S GOT A BUSINESS
WORTH 20,000.

THAT'S WHAT
HE SAID--HONEST.

BRING HIM OVER. AHEM.

IF YOU CAN DO HIM
ANY GOOD,

REMEMBER IT WAS ME
THAT BROUGHT HIM TO YOU.

GO GET HIM.

THIS IS MR. GAVERY,
THE ATTORNEY I TOLD YOU ABOUT.

THIS IS FRANK.

SIT DOWN, FRANK.

DON'T BE NERVOUS.
YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.

HERE.

I UNDERSTAND
YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF IN A LITTLE TROUBLE.

NO, IT ISN'T--
IT WAS A FRIEND OF MINE.

IT WAS A CLOSE
FRIEND OF MINE.

SURE. NOW, SUPPOSE
YOU GO AHEAD

AND TELL US ABOUT
THIS FRIEND OF YOURS.

TELL HIM, SUGAR.
BE SMART.

HE'S A LAWYER--
NO KIDDING.

THEY GOT ALL KINDS
OF LAWS.

THEY GOT LAWS
TO HELP PEOPLE, TOO. GO ON, TELL HIM.

WELL, I WAS IN--
I MEAN, THIS FRIEND OF MINE...

IT WAS DURING
THE WAR.

IT WAS
DURING THE LAST FEW MONTHS--

HIYA, JOHNNY.

HELLO.

ALL RIGHT...
GO AHEAD.

COME ON, THEN.

NOW WE HAVE PRIVACY.

IT WAS IN THE LAST
FEW MONTHS OF THE WAR.

WE WERE FLYING OVER GERMANY.

OUR PLANE WAS HIT
ON THE WING.

I MOVED FROM SYRACUSE
AND CAME OUT HERE...

AND NOW IT'S FINALLY
CAUGHT UP WITH ME.

HE DIDN'T MEAN IT,
WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE.

HE JUST MADE A MISTAKE.

ONE MISTAKE
IN HIS WHOLE LIFE, THAT'S ALL.

EVERYBODY
MAKES MISTAKES.

DID YOU HEAR IT?

ALL OF IT.

HERE.

DRINK IT.

YOU GOT YOURSELF
IN A TOUGH SITUATION, FRANK,

REALLY BAD.

I'M VERY SORRY
FOR YOU.

IT'S A SHAME.

IF IT WEREN'T
FOR THE PAPERS,

YOU COULD TALK
TO THE POLICE,

HAVE THEM SCARE
THIS FELLOW OUT OF TOWN.

NO. NO, I--

OF COURSE NOT.
YOU HAVE A POSITION TO THINK OF.

YOU MADE A NEW LIFE
FOR YOURSELF, DIDN'T YOU?

THEN YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO PROTECT IT.

AND IF WE CAN'T
GET PROTECTION FROM THE COPS,

WE'LL GET
OUR OWN COP-- A PRIVATE POLICEMAN.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU?

NOT JUST AN ORDINARY
PRIVATE DETECTIVE.

HIS JOB WILL BE
DANGEROUS.

WE'LL NEED
SOMEONE WHO CAN HANDLE HIMSELF,

TAKE CHANCES
IF HE HAS TO.

AND HE WON'T BE
CHEAP, MIND YOU.

MIGHT COST AS HIGH
AS $8,000...$10,000.

THAT'S ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THEN...TAKE
THAT BOY OUTSIDE, FOR INSTANCE.

JOHNNY?

GOOD BOY, JOHNNY.

HE WOULDN'T
JUST SIT AROUND.

HE'D GET IN TOUCH
WITH THIS FELLOW,

MAKE A DATE WITH HIM...
SOMEPLACE QUIET.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING
TO SELL HIM?

HE TALKS TO HIM.
HE TELLS HIM TO GET LOST.

NOTHING WRONG IN THAT,
IS THERE?

NO.

SO MAYBE
HE TAKES THE HINT AND LEAVES TOWN.

OR HE'S HOTHEADED.

HE GETS SORE
AND PLAYS ROUGH.

WELL...JOHNNY
HAS A GUN, TOO.

YOU'LL FORGET
ALL ABOUT IT.

THAT'S WORTH 10,000,
ISN'T IT?

FRANKIE,
YOU DON'T WANT ANY PART OF THIS.

YOU DON'T WANT
MURDER!

IT'S ALL RIGHT, FRANK.

LET HIM GO, MR. GAVERY.
HE DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

DOESN'T HE?
NO. WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?

YOU'RE THE SAME MAN
YOU WERE IN GERMANY.

YOU DID IT ONCE,
AND YOU'LL DO IT AGAIN.

WHAT DO YOU CARE
ABOUT ONE MORE MAN?

YOU SENT 10 ALONG
ALREADY.

SURE, YOU'RE SORRY
THEY'RE DEAD.

THAT'S THE RESPECTABLE
WAY TO FEEL.

GET RID OF THIS GUY
AND BE SORRY LATER.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

HE DIES...OR YOU DIE.

IT'S HIM...OR YOU.

HE'LL GO FOR IT.

MIGHT NEED
A LITTLE PERSUADING.

BETTER TAKE HER.

YOU'RE THE SAME MAN YOU WERE IN GERMANY.

YOU DID IT ONCE.
YOU'LL DO IT AGAIN.

WHAT DO YOU CARE ABOUT ONE MORE MAN?

YOU SENT 10 ALONG
ALREADY.

TONIGHT. THE TUNNEL'S THROUGH.

THE NORTH CORNER.
WE MAKE THE BREAK TONIGHT.

YOU HAVEN'T
GOT A CHANCE.

REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
TO THE OTHERS?

WE'RE NOT GOING
TO STARVE ANY LONGER.

DON'T DO IT, JOE.
DON'T DO IT.

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF, CAPTAIN ENLEY.

AN OFFICER IS RESPONSIBLE
FOR HIS MEN.

THEY'LL BE TREATED WITH
ALL POSSIBLE LENIENCY.

TONIGHT--
THE NORTH CORNER.

YOU'LL FIND
THE TUNNEL.

THEY'LL TRY TONIGHT.

DON'T DO IT, JOE.

DON'T DO IT!

DON'T DO IT, JOE!

NO! NO, DON'T!

NO, DON'T!

NO, DON'T!

NO! NO, JOE!

JOE!

WHAT'S THE MATTER
WITH YOU?

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO?
ARE YOU CRAZY OR SOMETHING?

JOHNNY, YOU LEAVE
HIM ALONE NOW.

HE DON'T KNOW
WHAT HE'S DOING. HE'S SICK OR SOMETHING.

NO MORE...

HEY...ME ON.

WHERE?

WITH ME.

GET HIM A DRINK
OF SOMETHING.

HE'S OUT ON HIS FEET.

WHY'D YOU HAVE
TO COME HERE?

YOU KNOW I DON'T
WANT ANY TROUBLE.

THERE AIN'T GONNA BE
ANY TROUBLE.

OH, LEAVE HIM ALONE,
JOHNNY.

HE HASN'T GOT
ANY DOUGH ON HIM.

HERE. IT'LL PUT HAIR
ON YOUR CHEST.

WHO ARE YOU?

ME? I'M A BUSINESSMAN.

YOU AND ME ARE GONNA DO
A LITTLE BUSINESS.

YOU GOT DOUGH, FRANK.

THAT'S WHY THEY'RE
ALL HANGING AROUND-- ON THE CHISEL.

BUT NOT ME.
I'M GONNA EARN IT.

YOU GET OUT OF HERE.

TAKE IT EASY, FRANK.
YOU AIN'T THINKING RIGHT.

YOU'RE IN A JAM.

THIS JOKER'S GONNA
GIVE IT TO YOU.

YOU GOT A WIFE, A KID.

YOU WANT THEM
TO STAND AROUND CRYING

WHEN THEY PUT YOU DOWN
IN THAT BIG HOLE...

JUST 'CAUSE YOU AIN'T
GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

YOU'VE GOT NOTHING
TO WORRY ABOUT.

IT'S EASY--
A STAKEOUT JOB.

COME ON. WHERE CAN WE
TALK TO THIS GUY?

JOHNNY,
PLEASE LEAVE HIM ALONE.

CUT IT OUT, WILL YOU?

COME ON, SUCKER.

I'M TELLING YOU,
IT'S YOUR ONLY OUT.

WHERE DO WE TALK TO HIM?

THE HOTEL'S NO GOOD.

YOU LIVE IN A LITTLE
TOWN, DON'T YOU?

THAT'S THE KIND OF PLACE--

QUIET, THEM HICK COPS.

HE'D GO THERE, TOO,
IF WE ASKED HIM.

WOULDN'T HE?

WOULDN'T HE?

WHERE IS HE, FRANK?
WHERE DO I TALK TO HIM?

WHERE IS HE?

BLAKE HOTEL.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I TOLD YOU TO GO BACK.

I'M NOT GOING TO
WALK OUT ON THIS-- SHH!

I WENT TO HIS HOUSE.
HE HAS A WIFE AND A BABY.

YEAH, I SAW THEM.

DIDN'T YOU FEEL
ANYTHING--

ANYTHING AT ALL?

JOE,
SHE'S JUST A KID.

HAVEN'T YOU
HURT THEM ENOUGH?

HE'S GOT TOO MUCH
TO PAY FOR.

HAS SHE DONE
ANYTHING TO PAY FOR?

SHE'D BE BETTER OFF
WITHOUT HIM.

ARE YOU THE JUDGE
OF THAT?

ARE YOU THE LAW?
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU'RE SO MUCH
BETTER THAN HE IS?

WHATEVER HE'S DONE,
HE'S TRIED TO MAKE UP FOR IT.

HE'S LIVED A DECENT,
USEFUL LIFE EVER SINCE.

BUT WHAT HAVE
YOU DONE?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO PROVE, ANYWAY,

WITH YOUR VENGEANCE,
YOUR VIOLENCE?

YOU AREN'T
GOING TO BRING THOSE MEN BACK.

YOU'RE JUST
GOING TO SMASH A FEW MORE LIVES--

ENLEY, HIS WIFE,
HIS SON, ME.

I'M SORRY ABOUT YOU, ANN.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT
GETTING MIXED UP IN THIS.

ALL RIGHT,
FORGET ABOUT ME.

SURE, THERE ARE
THINGS I WANTED,

BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT I'M FIGHTING FOR NOW.

I'M FIGHTING
FOR YOU.

I CAN TAKE CARE
OF MYSELF.

HOW? DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN KILL A MAN IN COLD BLOOD

AND JUST FORGET IT?

DON'T YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT MEANS?

YOU'LL HAVE
TO LIVE WITH HATE, DAY AND NIGHT,

FOR THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE.

AND LOOK WHAT IT'S
DONE TO YOU ALREADY!

JOE, I MADE YOU
FORGET IT FOR A WHILE.

I COULD AGAIN.
YOU WERE HAPPY, WEREN'T YOU?

IF YOU GO THROUGH
WITH THIS,

NO MATTER WHETHER
THEY KILL YOU OR PUT YOU IN JAIL,

EVEN IF THEY SAY
YOU'RE SICK AND HALF-CRAZY

AND LET YOU OFF
EASY, YOU'RE FINISHED, JOE!

YOU'RE WASHED UP--

AS CRIPPLED IN YOUR
MIND AS IN YOUR...

JOE, I DIDN'T
MEAN IT THAT WAY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

ANN...

ANN...

HELLO?

YEAH, THIS IS PARKSON.

JOHNNY? JOHNNY WHO?

WELL, WHO ARE YOU,
HIS BODYGUARD?

SANTA LISA?

WHERE IN SANTA LISA?

OK. I'LL BE THERE.

WAKE UP.

WAKE UP. I GOT
TO GET OUT OF HERE.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

NEARLY 4:00.
YOU SLEPT ALL DAY.

LOOK,
HERE'S YOUR MONEY.

NOBODY TOUCHED
A CENT OF IT

EXCEPT WHAT
YOU SPENT YOURSELF.

THERE'S ABOUT $8.00.

YOU BETTER HURRY UP.
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

OUT OF TOWN--
ST. JOE, MAYBE.

6 YEARS
I'VE BEEN HERE...

IN THIS HOLE.

BUT IT WASN'T
SO BAD.

I GOT MY KICKS.

I GOT ALONG.

NOW WHAT?

SNAP IT UP,
WILL YOU? I'M IN A HURRY!

I DON'T WANT
TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.

WITH WHAT?

YOU KNOW WHAT.

LISTEN, YOU GOT
TO LET ME HAVE SOME MONEY.

I FOUND
YOUR CHECKBOOK.

$100. ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO IS SIGN IT.

YOU CAN SPARE $100.

IT ISN'T MUCH
COMPARED TO WHAT

YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO GIVE JOHNNY.

JOHNNY? WHO'S JOHN...

OH, COME ON.

WHERE IS HE?

LOOK, I WOULDN'T ASK ABOUT--
WHERE'D HE GO?

ALL I KNOW--
WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT DID I TELL HIM?

SO YOU TOLD HIM.
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE NOW?

I'VE GOT TO KNOW THIS.
PLEASE, WHAT DID I TELL HIM?

JOHNNY CALLED HIM
ON THE PHONE-- THE OTHER MAN.

PARKSON?
YEAH, HE MADE A DATE FOR YOU TO MEET HIM.

WHERE?
THAT LITTLE TOWN WHERE YOU LIVE.

SANTA LISA?
YEAH, AT THE RAILROAD STATION,

ONLY YOU WEREN'T
GOING TO BE THERE.

WHAT TIME?

9:00, SO IT WOULD
BE DARK...

ONLY YOU WEREN'T
GOING TO BE THERE-- JUST JOHNNY.

HE WAS GOING
TO BE THERE.

WHERE DO I FIND HIM?
WHERE DOES HE LIVE?

I DON'T KNOW.
NOBODY KNOWS.

WELL, THERE MUST
BE SOMEBODY--

GUYS LIKE HIM DON'T TELL
PEOPLE WHERE THEY LIVE.

HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

LOOK, COULD YOU COME
BACK HERE AND PICK ME UP A LITTLE LATER?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

THE STATION, 9:00.
BE HERE AT 8:30, SHARP.

UH, DON'T COME TO THE DOOR.
JUST WAIT OUT HERE.

OKEY-DOKE.

OH, FRANK!

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO DO THAT.

HE'S BACK.
HE'S HERE IN TOWN.

I KNOW.

HE'S GOT A GIRL.
SHE CALLED ME.

SHE SAID SHE'D GO
TO THE POLICE.

IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S ALL SETTLED.

EDITH, SHE DOESN'T KNOW.

BUT SHE SAID THAT
HE'D GONE SOMEWHERE TO SEE YOU.

I SAW HIM.

YOU TALKED WITH HIM?

YES, ON THE PHONE.

HE'S LEAVING TOWN.

BELIEVE ME,
IT'S ALL OVER.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
PLEASE.

THEN YOU'RE SAFE?

OH, FRANK!

YOU'RE SAFE!

DON'T, BABY, PLEASE.

I'M SORRY.

HERE.

THANKS.

YOUR SUIT'S GOING TO HAVE
TO GO TO THE CLEANER'S.

YOLOOK TIRED.

YOU MUST...

WHY DON'T I RUN YOU
A NICE, HOT BATH?

OK.

WELL, COME ON.

YEAH.

HOW'S THE BABY?

OH, FINE.
HE WAS A LITTLE TIRED

AND HE HAD A RUNNY NOSE,
SO I PUT HIM TO BED EARLY.

PROBABLY OUT LIKE A LIGHT
BY THIS TIME.

WELL, THAT LOOKS
A LITTLE BETTER.

FRANK, I WANT TO--

EDITH...

FRANK, YOU SAID
IT WAS ALL SETTLED.

DOES THAT MEAN THAT
YOU HAD TO SEE HIM OR--

NO. IT'S OVER.

IT'S ALL OVER.

THAT'S TRUE, ISN'T IT?
YOU WOULDN'T--

LIE TO YOU? NO. NO.

ALL RIGHT.

EDITH...

SIT DOWN, FRANK.

IT ISN'T THAT I DON'T
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW.

I KNOW.

NEITHER DO I.

BUT I'VE THOUGHT A LOT
ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS SINCE I SAW YOU.

EVER SINCE I FIRST
KNEW YOU, FRANK,

AND UP UNTIL YESTERDAY...

I THOUGHT YOU WERE
THE FINEST, MOST WONDERFUL MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

JUST THAT.

NOW I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

YOU HAVE FAULTS
AND WEAKNESSES.

IF I HADN'T BEEN
SO YOUNG AND SILLY,

I WOULD HAVE KNOWN IT
ALL ALONG.

IT WOULDN'T HAVE
BEEN SUCH A SHOCK TO FIND IT OUT NOW.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
I DON'T LOVE YOU...

OR THAT I DON'T WANT
TO BE YOUR WIFE...

BECAUSE I DO.

WANT TO SEE THE PAPER?

THANK YOU, EDITH.

LET'S NOT TRY TO THINK
ABOUT IT ANYMORE-- NOT TONIGHT.

NO. ALL RIGHT.

EDITH...

YES?

I THINK I HEARD
THE BABY CRY.

I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING.

GO UP AND LOOK,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

ALL RIGHT.

FRANK!

THIS WILL BE OK HERE.

YOU'RE STILL
TWO BLOCKS FROM THE STATION.

YEAH, I KNOW.

HI, MR. ENLEY.

HELLO.

ALL YOU CAN DO NOW
IS WAIT RIGHT HERE.

WE'LL LET YOU KNOW
IF WE FIND HIM.

THANK YOU.

NO, WAIT!

I'VE COME TO
WARN YOU ABOUT SOMETHING, JOE!

AFTER THAT,
I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DO!

COME ON.
THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO.

NOW, STAY BACK, PLEASE!
IT'S DANGEROUS.

JOE!

I DIDN'T DO IT, ANN.
I DIDN'T DO IT.

CALL THE EMERGENCY
HOSPITAL.

NEVER MIND.

IT'S FRANK ENLEY!

WHAT HAPPENED?

THEY WERE COMING
FROM THE STATION,

AND HE WAS HANGING
ON THE SIDE OF THE CAR.

I SAW HIM DROP.

WHO'S GOING
TO TELL HIS WIFE?

I WILL.
