00:01:00The End
00:01:30The End
00:02:00She had on a blue dress with a blue and white plaid collar, black shoes and white socks.
00:02:27She had little blue ribbons in her hair.
00:02:30Every now and then the child just wanders off, Sheriff.
00:02:32I wouldn't worry too much about her, Mrs. Crawford.
00:02:34Children sometimes have a way of doing that.
00:02:36I scolded her this morning before she left for school.
00:02:39She'd stop to water the flowers.
00:02:41My grandchild loves flowers.
00:02:43She's always watering the flowers.
00:02:45I scolded her because I was afraid she'd be late.
00:02:50It's Carolyn.
00:02:51She's lost again.
00:02:52We've looked everywhere.
00:02:53Martha, you shouldn't have called me away from work again.
00:02:56But I'm worried, Ralph.
00:02:57She didn't come home for lunch and I went up to the school and the teacher said that Carolyn didn't get to school this morning.
00:03:03Martha, I can't leave my job every time Carolyn is lost for a few hours.
00:03:07It was hard enough to get a good job in this town and I don't want to lose it.
00:03:11But she's never been gone this long before.
00:03:14I scolded her this morning.
00:03:16All right, all right, honey.
00:03:18She's been scolded before.
00:03:20She'll be home soon.
00:03:21We'll find her, Mrs. Crawford.
00:03:22The town isn't so big that Carolyn could stay lost for very long.
00:03:25I'll need this picture.
00:03:26I'll have my boys keep an eye out for her.
00:03:28If she turns up, give me a ring.
00:03:29Thanks, Sheriff.
00:03:32She's so little.
00:03:34So helpless.
00:03:34If I only knew she was all right.
00:03:39Come on, Ralph.
00:03:40Let's go out and have another look.
00:03:46This time, Dad, don't try to stop me from giving her a spanking.
00:03:49I'm going to teach her never to do this to us again.
00:04:04Anything doing, Ben?
00:04:09Not much.
00:04:09Kid lost.
00:04:11Want to take this stand?
00:04:14Karen Crawford, Negro, age five.
00:04:17Wearing blue dress, plaid collar.
00:04:18Last seen about 9.15 this morning leaving for school.
00:04:21Sheriff's office and floor speaking.
00:04:22Pass that on to the boys.
00:04:23Tell him to keep an eye out for her.
00:04:25For you, Ben.
00:04:26Better check with the hospital, Mickey, just to make sure.
00:04:28Right.
00:04:28Hello.
00:04:30Oh, hello, Miss Peterson.
00:04:31All units.
00:04:32Attention, all units.
00:04:35I'll be right over.
00:04:36Child lost.
00:04:37Carolyn Crawford, age five, Negro.
00:04:40Last seen about 9.15 this morning leaving for school.
00:04:43Wearing blue dress, plaid collar.
00:04:44Are you sure you saw a man talk to Carolyn this morning?
00:05:08Yes, sir.
00:05:09When was this, Peter?
00:05:10When we were walking to school.
00:05:11He didn't see the mask.
00:05:14I saw him.
00:05:15I did so.
00:05:17Do you remember where this was you saw the man talking to Carolyn?
00:05:21By the flower shop.
00:05:22Mr. Woody's flower shop.
00:05:24Every morning she stopped to look at the flowers.
00:05:27Peter, can you tell me what this man looked like?
00:05:29He was a big man.
00:05:31Almost as big as you.
00:05:32He was very old.
00:05:34About 200 years old.
00:05:35He was not.
00:05:37He was real fat with a great big head.
00:05:40He looked like Uncle Twiggy.
00:05:42That's right.
00:05:43He was Uncle Twiggy.
00:05:45A character out of one of our story books.
00:05:49All right, children.
00:05:50That's enough.
00:05:51Now go out to the yard and play.
00:05:53When Mrs. Crawford came to see me, I saw no particular cause for alarm because Carolyn
00:06:03has wandered away before.
00:06:04But then I got to thinking and I questioned the children.
00:06:07Of course, I'm not sure that it's not their imagination, but I thought you ought to know.
00:06:11Well, I doubt if there's anything to it, but I'll check on it anyway.
00:06:13Oh, I hope so.
00:06:14Carolyn is such a shy, sensitive child.
00:06:17She could be frightened so easily.
00:06:19Thank you for calling me, Mrs. Peterson.
00:06:23Oh, uh, I wouldn't mention this to anybody.
00:06:26I mean about the man.
00:06:27I understand, Mr. Kellogg.
00:06:49She was standing right there outside the window looking at the flowers, the way she does
00:06:54every morning.
00:06:56Then this fellow walked out and spoke to her.
00:06:58After a minute, he came in and watched some violets.
00:07:02Then he went out and gave him to her.
00:07:03But I didn't pay much attention at the time.
00:07:06You're sure you never saw this man before?
00:07:07No, I never saw him before.
00:07:09What did he look like?
00:07:10Well, he was sort of an average-looking fellow.
00:07:12Well, I wasn't paying much attention then.
00:07:16Late thirties, early forties, sort of a fair complexion.
00:07:21Brown hair, maybe blonde.
00:07:23Blonde hair?
00:07:24Oh, he wasn't colored.
00:07:26He was a white man.
00:07:28Look, Ben, I know it sounds kind of stupid, but I can't even remember how he was dressed.
00:07:34I'm pretty sure he was wearing a gray suit, dark gray, but I couldn't swear to it.
00:07:39But you'd remember him if you saw him again.
00:07:41Oh, yes, I'd know him all right.
00:07:42All right.
00:07:43If you can think of anything else, give me a call.
00:07:45Well, he was an average-looking fellow about my height.
00:07:48You think there's anything to it, Ben?
00:07:50I don't know, Mr. Woody, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk about this to anybody.
00:07:54Don't worry, Ben.
00:08:02I thought you were out delivering Mrs. Wilson's orders.
00:08:04I'm making it up now.
00:08:11Oh, Jimmy.
00:08:12Yes, Mr. Woody?
00:08:13Yes, Mr. Woody?
00:08:20You'd better get those flowers over to her right away.
00:08:22She's waiting for them.
00:08:24Yes, sir.
00:08:24Yes, sir.
00:08:24I have a white lady.
00:08:35Yes, sir.
00:08:37Yes, sir.
00:08:39Yes, sir.
00:08:39Yes, sir.
00:08:40Yes, sir.
00:08:41Yes, sir.
00:08:42Do you see the hollis?
00:08:43I have no idea what you are going to do.
00:08:43Yes, sir.
00:08:45Yes, sir.
00:08:46Yes, sir.
00:08:47Yes, sir.
00:08:48Yes, sir.
00:08:49Yes, sir!
00:08:49Yes, sir.
00:08:50You have a whiteness.
00:08:55Mark, you cover this section right down to Elmer's.
00:08:58Brett, you cover up to the parkway.
00:09:00That leaves from the parkway up to Laurel for you, Al.
00:09:03Woody's description of the guy isn't much to go on, Ben.
00:09:05It's all we've got.
00:09:06Stan, you better put this out on the teletype.
00:09:08Get some more prints made of this and send them right out.
00:09:11Check bars, hotels, movies.
00:09:13Run down any leads you get.
00:09:14But try not to make any fuss about it.
00:09:16We don't want to stir up any unnecessary excitement.
00:09:18I don't know how much there is to all this, but we can't afford to take any chances.
00:09:22But just in case, we're going off half-cocked.
00:09:24Mickey, you and Chet keep looking for the kid.
00:09:26Look any place in this town where a kid might be.
00:09:29Let's get on it, boys.
00:09:31Well, one thing we can be sure about, the guy certainly isn't after ranching.
00:09:34Knock off on that talk, Chet.
00:09:36Let's not jump to any conclusions.
00:09:37Sorry, Ben.
00:09:41Say, Roy, have you seen anything of a guy about 40 years old in a gray suit, a stranger in town?
00:09:45He hasn't been in here, Mickey.
00:09:47Well, let us know if you do, will you?
00:09:48Okay, good.
00:09:49Good.
00:10:18Anything wrong with the food?
00:10:33Hello, hi, hon.
00:10:35Hi, Ben.
00:10:36Hello, Casey.
00:10:41That's a very pretty picture you put up, Casey.
00:10:43How could you tell from where you were looking?
00:10:50Going to have lunch?
00:10:51Just coffee.
00:10:52Seen any strange men in here today?
00:10:54No stranger than usual.
00:10:55I was about 40, average height.
00:10:58Brown hair, maybe blonde.
00:11:00Not my type.
00:11:02Medium build.
00:11:03Maybe wearing gray suit.
00:11:05Personally, I go for a sheriff's uniform.
00:11:07You know, with a little encouragement, I'd close up the place right now.
00:11:16Your water's boiling over.
00:11:19Hi, Jason.
00:11:20Oh, hi, Quake.
00:11:21Hi, Quake.
00:11:22Hi, Quake.
00:11:22Hello, Casey.
00:11:23Hi, Ben.
00:11:24Give me a salad, will you, Casey?
00:11:25Combination?
00:11:26Sure, that's okay.
00:11:27Well, looks like you've got a little trouble on your hands, huh, Ben?
00:11:30Beats me what some fellows will do.
00:11:32I hear it's a white man you're looking for.
00:11:33You got any ideas who it is?
00:11:34What's it all about, Quakely?
00:11:35White man kidnapped a colored girl.
00:11:37Talk going around, he killed her.
00:11:38All right, Quakely, you can drop it.
00:11:40Huh?
00:11:40I said drop it.
00:11:41What's playing, Ben?
00:11:42Yeah, come on, give out.
00:11:43Our kid's lost and we're trying to find her, that's all.
00:11:46Why do you have to keep shooting your mouth off, Quakely?
00:11:48Well, you don't have to go into a snit about it, Ben.
00:11:50I'm just telling what I heard.
00:11:51Well, you can forget what you heard, all of you.
00:11:53Bad talk.
00:11:54It can cause trouble.
00:11:55Hello?
00:11:56Yeah, just a minute.
00:11:57It's for you, Ben.
00:11:58When does it happen, Ben?
00:11:59I said drop it.
00:12:01Hello.
00:12:02Yes, Dan.
00:12:05Well, keep them there, I'll be right over.
00:12:07I'll talk to you later.
00:12:08Bye, Ben.
00:12:13You pin a badge on some of these guys, it goes right their head.
00:12:16You think I was causing all this talk.
00:12:18I'm just saying what I heard, it's all over town anyway.
00:12:21Seems all this guy picked this kid up, just outside of Woody's shop.
00:12:28Too much pepper.
00:12:29Too much pepper, too much pepper.
00:12:30Too much pepper.
00:12:41Too much pepper.
00:12:46Don't turn.
00:12:51Take care.
00:12:56Too much pepper.
00:12:57What's the thing?
00:12:58They're inside.
00:13:08Any word to hear the boys?
00:13:09They've all called in.
00:13:10No news yet.
00:13:14I've heard you're looking for a man, Mr. Kellogg.
00:13:16I want to know from you if it's true.
00:13:25A man was seen with your little girl early this morning.
00:13:27Then it is true.
00:13:29We're still not sure this man has anything to do with Carolyn's disappearance.
00:13:32We've got to find my baby.
00:13:34We've got to find her before something terrible happens to her.
00:13:36I've got all my men on it now.
00:13:37We're doing everything we can as fast as we can.
00:13:40Maybe you haven't found him because he's a white man, Sheriff.
00:13:42Bill.
00:13:44Mr. Gaines is Carolyn's uncle.
00:13:46You can understand, Sheriff.
00:13:47We're terribly worried about my granddaughter.
00:13:49I realize that.
00:13:51But I also want Mr. Gaines to know that the man's color has nothing to do with it.
00:13:55I don't know.
00:13:56I know what you're going through, Crawford.
00:14:02And I promise you we're doing everything we possibly can to find your child.
00:14:11What will I tell my wife?
00:14:13This man you're looking for, Sheriff, what's he look like?
00:14:25Maybe we can find him.
00:14:27I think you better let us take care of that, Gaines.
00:14:29Come on in, Bert.
00:14:39Ben, he was this close to me.
00:14:41I could have reached out and touched him.
00:14:42Bert saw the guy with the Crawford kid.
00:14:43I was making my deliveries on Sampson Street when I seen this fellow and the little girl.
00:14:46Believe me, he was as far away as you are now.
00:14:48What time was this?
00:14:49Well, I got to Sampson Street on my route about 9.30.
00:14:51So this must have been about 9.45, I guess.
00:14:54Maybe a little later, but not much.
00:14:55Now, try to remember everything.
00:14:58Can you describe this man?
00:14:59Tell me everything you can.
00:15:00Oh, sure, sure, sure.
00:15:01He was a fellow about medium height.
00:15:03He wore a gray suit, striped, I think.
00:15:07Medium build, about 140, 50.
00:15:09He browned his hair.
00:15:11Jack's with Woody's description.
00:15:11I'm telling you, Ben, he was this close to me.
00:15:14Struck me kind of funny, him holding the little kid by the hand.
00:15:17I didn't think it was anything like this.
00:15:19And I'd only known.
00:15:20Which way was he going?
00:15:21We crossed Sampson Street and went on towards Townsend.
00:15:24Like I say, I never dreamt of this.
00:15:27I could have grabbed him, but I might have saved that little kid's life.
00:15:33You'd recognize him if you saw him again.
00:15:34He was this close to me.
00:15:36Jack's got something hot.
00:15:37I'm telling you, Mickey, he was that close to me.
00:15:41If I'd only known.
00:15:42Yeah, I know.
00:15:43You could have grabbed him.
00:15:45Yes.
00:15:46Yes, Cap.
00:15:47I'm at the bus station, Ben.
00:15:48The checkroom attendant thinks he saw a man get off the bus here this morning.
00:15:52I'll be right down.
00:15:54Why shouldn't I remember him?
00:15:56Only him and two women got off at the bus.
00:15:58All I can get out of it is that his initials are CP.
00:16:00He comes from St. Louis.
00:16:01Wire the stations in St. Louis and see if they can help him.
00:16:03Okay.
00:16:03Now, anything else you can remember?
00:16:05Like what?
00:16:05All he did was check his bag.
00:16:08All right.
00:16:08After he checked his bag, which way did he go?
00:16:10He went out the door to the cab instead.
00:16:12How many ways could he go?
00:16:13Did he get into a cab?
00:16:14How could I tell if he got into a cab?
00:16:17I'm in here in the cab's round side.
00:16:19Okay.
00:16:19That's enough.
00:16:20Thanks.
00:16:23Okay, Sheriff.
00:16:25Yeah.
00:16:26If I see him again, should I let you know?
00:16:29Now, what do you think?
00:16:30I just can check.
00:16:35Additional information.
00:16:36Suspects or initials are CP.
00:16:37Arrived on 845 bus from St. Louis.
00:16:40Seen at bus station in vicinity of taxicab stand.
00:16:42Approximately 845 a.m.
00:16:44Sure, I picked a guy up.
00:17:01Tell me what it's all about.
00:17:02I don't want to get anybody into trouble.
00:17:04The little girl, five years old, missing.
00:17:07I took him over to Sam Packard's place.
00:17:08He said something about being in a hurry.
00:17:10He wasn't going to be in town very long.
00:17:11Packard's construction company.
00:17:13He came here to see Mr. Packard.
00:17:27He seemed disappointed when I told him Mr. Packard was out on a business day.
00:17:29You want me?
00:17:31Hello, Kellogg.
00:17:32Hello, Wiley.
00:17:33Mr. Kellogg was just asking about the man who came to see the boss this morning.
00:17:36Packard's nephew?
00:17:36What do you want him for?
00:17:38Packard's nephew?
00:17:39Yeah, what's it all about?
00:17:40Do you know where I can find him?
00:17:41No, he said he was going into town.
00:17:43Be back a little later.
00:17:44What time was all this?
00:17:45Pretty early, a little after 9.
00:17:46Come on.
00:17:48Packard's construction company.
00:17:49Just a minute, please.
00:17:50What's it all about, Kellogg?
00:17:52It's for you, Mr. Kellogg.
00:17:53Yes.
00:17:55Yes, Dan.
00:17:57I'll be right in.
00:17:59They got him.
00:17:59I'll pick him up at the bus station.
00:18:01He went back for the bag.
00:18:02Sam Packard's nephew.
00:18:03That's great.
00:18:05I better get a whole Packard right away.
00:18:08That's him.
00:18:12No doubt about it.
00:18:13That's him, all right.
00:18:17Yes, sir.
00:18:18That's the man I saw with Carolyn.
00:18:21Yeah.
00:18:22That's the guy who drove to Packard's office.
00:18:26Yes, that's the man.
00:18:27I'm positive.
00:18:28Thanks, Mr. Woody.
00:18:31Now, what if I did buy her some flowers?
00:18:33What does that prove?
00:18:34I'm no kidnapper.
00:18:35You can't accuse me of this.
00:18:36You haven't been accused of anything yet.
00:18:39Sit down, Packard.
00:18:43Just why did you buy her those flowers?
00:18:47I don't know.
00:18:48She was standing there with her face pressed up against the window.
00:18:55I never thought it would get me into this.
00:18:57That was the last you saw of her?
00:18:59Yes.
00:18:59You were seen with her after that, Packard.
00:19:01The milkman saw you with her.
00:19:03A milkman saw me.
00:19:05Look, what are you trying to make of this?
00:19:06There was some traffic and I took her across the street.
00:19:09Then I sent her off to school.
00:19:10That's all there was to it.
00:19:11Then why did you lie?
00:19:12You said it was the last time you saw her.
00:19:14I'm not lying about anything.
00:19:16The whole thing's crazy.
00:19:18I bought her some flowers and I helped her across a busy street.
00:19:20That's all I did.
00:19:21Sit down, Packard.
00:19:26Why did you come to town today?
00:19:28Well, I...
00:19:29I haven't seen my...
00:19:31Uncle in five years.
00:19:33I was passing through.
00:19:34I thought I'd stop off and pay him a visit.
00:19:36Then why were you leaving without seeing him?
00:19:38I couldn't wait any longer.
00:19:39I wanted to catch the next bus out.
00:19:41Where were you going?
00:19:42Up the new mining project.
00:19:44I'm trying to get a job.
00:19:45What kind of job?
00:19:48I'm a miner.
00:19:48What kind of mines do you work, Packard?
00:19:51Gold, silver, copper.
00:19:53I work all kinds of mines.
00:19:55Where did you go after you left your uncle's office?
00:19:57I don't know.
00:19:58It was a nice day.
00:20:00I thought I'd see the town.
00:20:01Why didn't you let your uncle know you were coming?
00:20:03So you wouldn't miss him.
00:20:04Well, I hadn't planned on seeing him.
00:20:06It was only after the bus stopped here that I got the idea.
00:20:09Whereabouts in town did you spend most of your time?
00:20:12Well, I don't know.
00:20:13I just walked around.
00:20:15I don't remember where I spent most of my time.
00:20:17What were you doing up on Samson Street?
00:20:19I don't even know if I was on Samson Street.
00:20:21I told you I don't remember the names of the streets.
00:20:24Look, she walked with me for a couple of blocks.
00:20:25I never saw the kid after that.
00:20:27I had nothing to do with her.
00:20:28You're not going to pin this thing on me.
00:20:30There were witnesses that saw you with that kid.
00:20:32She wasn't seen with anybody else but you.
00:20:35And she's been missing ever since.
00:20:41I've got two bucks.
00:20:43I'll let him go.
00:20:44Oh, give the guy a break.
00:20:45Maybe he didn't do it.
00:20:46Tell him what kind of a break we had if it was one of us.
00:20:48He ain't kidding.
00:20:49Oh, you guys, come on.
00:20:50Give me, give me, give me.
00:20:53It's frightening to think that it could happen in this town.
00:20:56A man who would murder a child must be a maniac.
00:21:00Where is she now?
00:21:01I don't know.
00:21:02How could I know?
00:21:02What was your purpose in buying her the flowers?
00:21:04I didn't have any purpose.
00:21:05I just wanted to buy them for her.
00:21:07What else did you buy her?
00:21:08I didn't buy her anything else.
00:21:09Do you buy flowers for every kid you see?
00:21:11No.
00:21:12Look, will you give me a break?
00:21:14I've got a family.
00:21:15Don't mix me up in anything like this.
00:21:17What do you mean anything like this?
00:21:19What don't you want to get mixed up in?
00:21:20This kid.
00:21:21It's a terrible thing.
00:21:23How do you know it's terrible?
00:21:24Just how much more do you know that you're not telling us?
00:21:28The authorities are bound to be biased.
00:21:30It's only natural they'll be influenced by race prejudice.
00:21:32I don't think in this case, in this town, race prejudice will influence justice.
00:21:36But this is a unique situation.
00:21:38A white man's accused of a crime against a Negro child.
00:21:41This time, the shoe's on the other foot.
00:21:45Where did you go after you left your uncle's office?
00:21:48I don't remember exactly where.
00:21:50I just walked around town.
00:21:52Did you walk through the business district?
00:21:54Yes.
00:21:54Did you see the movie theater?
00:21:56Yes.
00:21:56Did you walk as far east as the Jefferson Monument?
00:21:58Oh, I walked past the Jefferson Monument.
00:22:02What was playing at the movies?
00:22:03I didn't notice.
00:22:04How many stories high is the hospital?
00:22:06Two, maybe three.
00:22:08I didn't notice.
00:22:09Then you were in the vicinity of the school.
00:22:10The hospital's just a few blocks away.
00:22:12Look, I told you I didn't see the school.
00:22:14I don't know whether I was in the vicinity of the school or not.
00:22:18I told you everything I know.
00:22:23Where's that kid?
00:22:23Tell us what you did with her.
00:22:24We're going to keep you here till you do tell.
00:22:26I don't know.
00:22:26I don't know.
00:22:27I don't know.
00:22:28Leave me alone.
00:22:28I told you everything I know.
00:22:30You don't tell us where that kid is.
00:22:31I'll tear you apart.
00:22:32Becky.
00:22:33Lay off.
00:22:37Book him.
00:22:38Sam Packer, drop tight.
00:22:44I've got a wife and two kids.
00:22:52Keep him in here.
00:22:55Hello, Sam.
00:22:57What are the charges against my nephew?
00:22:58Suspicion of kidnapping.
00:23:00You'll ruin him.
00:23:02He's got a wife and two children.
00:23:03A filthy thing like this can ruin a man.
00:23:05If he's innocent, we'll find it out.
00:23:07And if he's guilty, we'll find that out too.
00:23:09But in the meantime, please don't interfere.
00:23:10Don't you understand?
00:23:12He mustn't even hold him for a thing like this.
00:23:13The stigma, the disgrace, you'll never live it down.
00:23:17I know these things aren't very pretty, but I've got a job to do.
00:23:19Then why don't you do your job?
00:23:21Release Packer's nephew before this turns into a real mess.
00:23:24This doesn't concern you, Wally.
00:23:25You have a white man in there, and that concerns a lot of people in this town.
00:23:28Ben, let me take him out of here now.
00:23:30I can't.
00:23:31But he didn't do it.
00:23:32You know he didn't do it.
00:23:33That's for a court to decide.
00:23:35A court?
00:23:37Ben, if you do that, if you drag him through this muck,
00:23:40I'll pull every trick in the game.
00:23:41I'll throw everything I've got into it.
00:23:42I'll prove it's a frame.
00:23:45That you'll try to make a hero out of yourself by framing an innocent man.
00:23:48You do just as you like, Sam.
00:23:52I want to see him.
00:23:53I'll be right to speak to him.
00:23:57You stay here, Wally.
00:24:02Hello, Sam.
00:24:05I'd like to speak to him alone.
00:24:07I'll have you out on a writ as soon as I get my lawyer.
00:24:20In the meantime, here's your story.
00:24:22You were with me, you understand?
00:24:24No matter what you've told them,
00:24:25you were with me all the time you were in town.
00:24:27Why should I say that?
00:24:28I'll quash this whole thing.
00:24:30They're not going to make a fuss over that nigger kid.
00:24:32Why should I lie?
00:24:32I've got nothing to lie about.
00:24:34Do as I tell you.
00:24:35You were with me all the time you were in town.
00:24:37I'll swear to it.
00:24:38And even you think I did this dirty, rotten thing.
00:24:41I'm not asking you whether you did it.
00:24:44I've lived in this town for 25 years,
00:24:46and I won't be dragged through this scandal.
00:24:47I won't let you disgrace me.
00:24:48Oh, I see.
00:24:50It doesn't matter whether I'm innocent or not.
00:24:52It doesn't matter what happened to that kid.
00:24:54Just protect the name of Sam Packard from any disgrace.
00:24:56That's all that matters.
00:24:57Don't you talk that way to me.
00:25:00You'll do as I tell you.
00:25:01You'll do it and get out of this town
00:25:03and never show your face again.
00:25:06Get out of here,
00:25:07or they'll really have something to hold me for.
00:25:18What do you think, Ben?
00:25:20I don't know, Mickey.
00:25:24Get the boys together.
00:25:25We're to keep on looking for that kid.
00:25:31Packard went down there to get him out.
00:25:33What did I tell you?
00:25:35Packard's got it all fixed.
00:25:36They're going to let him go.
00:25:37And they'll let him go free.
00:25:39The truth is my point.
00:25:40You can get away with the murder.
00:25:42As long as you're the right cover.
00:25:48What is your nephew done with her?
00:25:52I don't know what you're talking about.
00:25:53Please, Mr. Packard, it's my baby.
00:25:55I've got to know what he's done with my baby.
00:25:56Get out of my way.
00:25:57I'll wait, Mr. Packard.
00:25:58Take your hands off of me.
00:25:59She's my child, Mr. Packard.
00:26:01You've got to tell me.
00:26:01You've got to.
00:26:02Get out of my way.
00:26:07Mr. Packard, are you all right?
00:26:09Come on, we've got to get out of here.
00:26:10Somebody's going to get a doctor.
00:26:11What happened?
00:26:11The niggers did it.
00:26:13Sam Packard was beaten up.
00:26:15Two of them jumped Sam Packard.
00:26:16Beat him up bad.
00:26:17A whole pack of them attacked this poor old man for no reason at all.
00:26:21Now they're going around town beating up white men.
00:26:24You've got to know how to handle them.
00:26:25You've got to keep them in line.
00:26:26Well, don't think we won't when the time comes.
00:26:28Hi, Chip.
00:26:29Hi.
00:26:29When they start beating up white guys, that's the time to do something.
00:26:33Well, Chip didn't exactly fall all over you.
00:26:36He seemed a lot more interested in talking about those niggers.
00:26:39And you told me he was so gone on you.
00:26:45Chip, wait.
00:26:46I don't think you even cared that I was just insulted.
00:26:49What are you talking about?
00:26:50Who insulted you?
00:26:51A nigger.
00:26:52Sally and I were walking along Parsons' street.
00:26:54You mean one of them made a pass at you?
00:26:56Well, what do you expect us to do?
00:26:57After all, we're just a couple of helpless girls.
00:27:01But if you just want to stand around here and yak about it.
00:27:04Come on, Sally.
00:27:05Lois, how could you do a thing like that?
00:27:09Are you sure, Tim?
00:27:11Sure.
00:27:11Come on, let's get ourselves a trick.
00:27:18All right, get out of them.
00:27:19Let me get out of them.
00:27:20Let me get what he did.
00:27:21Let me get what he did.
00:27:21Let me get what he did.
00:27:21Let me get what you did.
00:27:23A whole mob of them nearly beat him to death.
00:27:27They beat up Bill Cross on Parsons' street.
00:27:29There were four white boys.
00:27:30And they killed a male on Parsons' street.
00:27:33That's two of them now.
00:27:34Yeah, a whole collard of them went after a couple of white boys.
00:27:43They were after a white girl.
00:27:44Those boys were just trying to protect her.
00:27:46They attacked a white girl.
00:27:47I heard she killed herself afterwards.
00:28:01Come on, get out.
00:28:04They're going, let's get him.
00:28:12You get out of here, people.
00:28:13I took you.
00:28:13No, no, no.
00:28:19Get in here, son.
00:28:25I've seen kids playing in these fields.
00:28:27Yeah, keep an eye out for her.
00:28:34What do you see, Ben?
00:28:47Looks like something out there.
00:28:49Come on, Mickey.
00:28:49Okay, let's go.
00:29:07Wait a minute, Mickey.
00:29:10The kid likes flowers.
00:29:12No flowers around here, Ben.
00:29:13Let's have a look anyway.
00:29:15Okay.
00:29:15Hey, Ben.
00:29:41You'd better get to town fast.
00:29:52Sam Packett was beaten up by a couple of colored guys.
00:29:55You keep on looking.
00:29:56Fights are breaking out all over town.
00:29:59It could mean real trouble.
00:30:01Mickey, you better come back too.
00:30:03Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:06Okay.
00:30:06Okay.
00:30:07Okay.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:08Okay.
00:30:09Okay.
00:30:09Okay.
00:30:10Okay.
00:30:11Okay.
00:30:11Okay.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:12Okay.
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:14Okay.
00:30:15Okay.
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:17Okay.
00:30:18Okay.
00:30:19Okay.
00:30:20Okay.
00:30:21Okay.
00:30:22Okay.
00:30:23Okay.
00:30:24Okay.
00:30:25Okay.
00:30:26Okay.
00:30:27Okay.
00:30:28Okay.
00:30:29Okay.
00:30:30Okay.
00:30:31Okay.
00:30:32Come on, come on, get out.
00:30:57All right, everybody, come on, keep it back.
00:30:58Leave it here, we'll take care of everything.
00:31:00We'll never wish they'd never been born.
00:31:02Now, listen, folks, go on home, please.
00:31:06This doesn't interest you.
00:31:07We're plenty interested, Ben Kellogg.
00:31:14Stand on your feet, face the wall.
00:31:17But my arm hurts, and I span.
00:31:18Turn around.
00:31:23Get me the mayor.
00:31:24He's been trying to reach you.
00:31:25Where's most of the trouble?
00:31:26Most of it's in the West End, but spreading all over town now.
00:31:30Sheriff's office.
00:31:30Stay in your house until a deputy gets there.
00:31:34Get a call, Patrick.
00:31:37Sheriff's office.
00:31:39I will send a deputy over as soon as we can.
00:31:42Hendricks, Margaret, that's on the east side of town.
00:31:45We're doing the best we can, Mr. Hendricks.
00:31:47Get me the mayor.
00:31:48What's this?
00:31:52I picked him up on Sampson Street, a street fight.
00:31:55Well, he certainly wasn't fighting all by himself.
00:31:57Where are the others?
00:31:58The others were just kids.
00:32:00White kids.
00:32:01About 18 or 19 years old, and this guy jumped them.
00:32:03Mayor Borton.
00:32:04How many of them were there?
00:32:04Sheriff, Kevin.
00:32:05Five or six?
00:32:06From the looks of him, they must have put up some battle.
00:32:12How old are you, son?
00:32:13Mayor Ford.
00:32:1418.
00:32:15Okay, Ben.
00:32:25Take him over to the hospital.
00:32:28Wait a minute.
00:32:29You take him over.
00:32:30You cover the desk.
00:32:31But, Ben, you got me all wrong.
00:32:33Come on, son.
00:32:36Hello.
00:32:37Ben, where the devil have you been?
00:32:39I've got a citizens committee in my office.
00:32:41Get over here right away.
00:32:43I'll be right over, Jim.
00:32:46Take him over to the county seat.
00:32:47We'll keep him there until things cool off.
00:32:50And get him there fast.
00:32:57This disturbance is following a regular pattern.
00:32:59It starts with rumors, incidents, leads to beatings, terrible violence.
00:33:05Ben.
00:33:06The situation's getting out of hand.
00:33:08My office has been swamped with telephone calls.
00:33:10These people are on my neck.
00:33:11They want action.
00:33:12Get more help if necessary.
00:33:13Get betize as many men as you need.
00:33:15It's gone beyond that now, Jim.
00:33:17We need the state militia.
00:33:18Militia?
00:33:19That's going to extremes.
00:33:20It would mean martial law.
00:33:21What about your own force?
00:33:22You've certainly got enough men and equipment.
00:33:23These aren't just street fights.
00:33:24We're heading for a race riot.
00:33:26Race riot?
00:33:26I agree with Mr. Kellogg.
00:33:28I don't, doctor.
00:33:29Calling in the militia would cause a breach in this town that could never be healed.
00:33:33By deputizing more citizens, both Negro and white, we can control this situation.
00:33:38Of course we can.
00:33:39We've never had any serious racial trouble in this town.
00:33:41Negroes and whites have been living together in complete harmony for years.
00:33:44I think the sheriff's exaggerating the whole thing.
00:33:47Jim, stop making a political debate of this.
00:33:48Get on the phone.
00:33:49Call the governor before it's too late.
00:33:51If Mr. Kellogg can't handle the situation, let's appoint somebody who can.
00:33:54That's all right with me.
00:33:55But what, you're making up your minds.
00:33:56The mayor better get on that phone before this town blows up in your faces.
00:33:59If we need help, let's get it.
00:34:01Martial law would mean suspension of local authority.
00:34:03We don't want that.
00:34:04All right, all right.
00:34:05Take it easy.
00:34:07Arguing among ourselves isn't going to get us anywhere.
00:34:09Has any of you ever seen a race riot?
00:34:11I have.
00:34:17I saw a whole town go mad.
00:34:19A town very much like this.
00:34:22I saw my own father's body tied to a car and dragged through the streets.
00:34:26And the driver of that car was a man my father had known for 20 years.
00:34:32I saw a white child beaten to death by my own people.
00:34:36She was just about the age of your daughter, Mr. Lowell.
00:34:39Oh, you can't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes.
00:34:44It happens fast, just like this is happening.
00:34:46And then suddenly it turns into mob violence.
00:34:48And once it grows into mob violence, it's a shocking, frightening spectacle.
00:34:53Decent people go suddenly insane.
00:34:56There is no reasoning, no feeling of guilt.
00:34:59Just hysteria.
00:35:01A wild, uncontrollable hysteria.
00:35:03And then the fear.
00:35:07Terror of helpless victims.
00:35:11Something you can never forget as long as you live.
00:35:15Look through a call to the state capitol.
00:35:25Get me the governor.
00:35:29Ben.
00:35:31Do your best until the troops get here.
00:35:33Now, here's the way I figure it.
00:35:41The sheriff might not admit it, but there's been three white men killed already.
00:35:44Now, if you want my advice, I'll tell you...
00:35:45Just what is your advice, Cleason?
00:35:48Well, a man's got a right to his own feelings.
00:35:50Why don't you go home and keep your feelings to yourself?
00:35:52Come on, everybody.
00:35:53George Hanson's got no reason to lie about it.
00:36:01He said this woman was so cut up they had to rush her to the hospital.
00:36:03All right, let's break it up.
00:36:08All right, break it up.
00:36:10I said break it up.
00:36:18Ah!
00:36:19Ah!
00:36:19Ah!
00:36:19Ah!
00:36:19Ah!
00:36:19Ah!
00:36:20Ah!
00:36:20Ah!
00:36:20Ah!
00:36:20Ah!
00:36:20Ah!
00:36:21Ah!
00:36:21Ah!
00:36:22Ah!
00:36:22Ah!
00:36:23Ah!
00:36:23Ah!
00:36:23Ah!
00:36:24Ah!
00:36:24Ah!
00:36:25Ah!
00:36:25Ah!
00:36:53Ah!
00:36:53Let's take a look up in the middle.
00:37:06There's one of the guys that beat up Packer.
00:37:07There's one of the guys that beat him up in the middle, and he's going to have to go to the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top of the top.
00:37:37Boys, if this thing keeps up, we gotta ride these niggers out of town.
00:38:07Hey, fellas, he burned down one of Packard's buildings. Get over there and he'll tell you what to do.
00:38:19Hey! Hey! Pass the word along. We're meeting at Sam Packard's place.
00:38:25Now get out of here before I...
00:38:37All right, boys. Who's next?
00:38:41Come on, fellas. Get over to Packard's place. We're gonna have a real park.
00:38:45What about this one?
00:38:47Get around to him later. We'll get them all. Packard's gonna make them all wish they'd never come to town.
00:38:51Don't listen to him. He'll get you all killed. Go home to your families. Don't listen to him.
00:38:56Hurry up and bring something handy. We're gonna do this right.
00:38:58We'll be back for him later.
00:39:01The fools. The crazy, stupid fools.
00:39:04I'd better get going, Casey.
00:39:06Come on, I'll drive you home. Let's get out of here.
00:39:12Looting at Horne and Bixle Streets. Fred, you take it.
00:39:14Art, you'd better go down and get him some help.
00:39:16We're gonna quarantine the west end of the town.
00:39:18Three of you men and a regular deputy will travel in each car.
00:39:21Lock off all streets. Allow no one to enter or leave this area.
00:39:25Ben! Yeah. Mickey!
00:39:28Yeah, Mickey. Ben!
00:39:29Ben! Ben, I think I'm running into trouble.
00:39:31Some Negroes spotted Claude Packard in the car with me.
00:39:33Two cars are following us. I can't shake him.
00:39:34Where are you now?
00:39:35On the main highway, about a mile out of town.
00:39:37Better come on back.
00:39:38I think I can give him the slip once I hit the turnpike.
00:39:40No, Mickey. Don't take any chances.
00:39:41Cut over to Washington Boulevard and come back in.
00:39:43Right. Casey, you shouldn't be out on the streets.
00:39:45Get over to Sam Packard's place. There's a mob collecting.
00:39:50Call in all the boys. Frank, take her home.
00:39:52I'll be all right.
00:39:53Take her home and stay there.
00:39:54All units, attention. All units, listen carefully.
00:39:57Come on in. Come on in. All units.
00:40:24Get over here and bring your men with you.
00:40:30Sam, you're doing something you'll regret for the rest of your life.
00:40:33They've burned down my building.
00:40:35There are innocent people that didn't burn your building.
00:40:36They're going to get hurt too.
00:40:37I've been beaten and humiliated. What do you expect me to do? Wait until they spit on me?
00:40:44I've put my life into this town. This is my town. I helped build it with my own hands.
00:40:47That doesn't give you the right to destroy it.
00:40:48I'd rather destroy it than let those dirty black devils take it over.
00:40:50Sam, you're talking like a maniac. Stop and think before it's too late.
00:40:56I've done plenty of thinking. We all have. We're going to drive every last one of them out of this town.
00:41:01If you try it, I've got to stop you.
00:41:02I'm going to drive them out even if I have to kill every mother son of them.
00:41:04All right, Kellogg. You've said your little piece. Not quite well.
00:41:07I'm going to drive them out even if I have to kill every mother son of them.
00:41:10All right, Kellogg. You've said your little piece. Not quite well.
00:41:15I've got my belly full of all of you. And I'm not taking any more. I'm warning you. Every one of you. You just try it and I'll shoot you down like a pack of mad dogs.
00:41:32Help! Help! Help! Help! Help!
00:42:02Help! Help! Here, boy! Come on, buddy!
00:42:09Come on, buddy! Here, boy!
00:42:26Help!
00:42:32Help!
00:42:39Now listen, men. There's hundreds of them up there. But this time we're not running. This time we'll be waiting for them. For every one of us there's going to be two dead old things. Two for one.
00:42:51And don't you try to stop us. A white man killed my baby. They tried to sneak him out of town. He's right. Two for one.
00:43:00I'm not here to stop you. I've got as much hate in me as a man can have.
00:43:05All right!
00:43:14Everything's quiet. Too quiet. I don't get it. The streets are deserted.
00:43:18Come on in. Ben's on his way now.
00:43:20Okay.
00:43:21Where the devil is Kellogg. I thought you told me he was on his way back here.
00:43:23He should be here any minute.
00:43:24He's got to know we're having difficulty getting the militia.
00:43:26Mr. Mayor, I can't take a chance sending that information out on the radio.
00:43:29Yes, yes, I know. But I wish he'd get here.
00:43:32Brother, it's enough to give you the creeps outside.
00:43:35You feel like you're sitting on a stick of dynamite and you don't know when somebody's going to light the fuse.
00:43:39All units. Attention, all units. Repeat. Come on in. Get back as fast as you can, boys.
00:43:45Ben, the troops can't get here for at least two hours.
00:43:47Two hours?
00:43:48I told the governor how desperate the situation is, but it's physically impossible to get the militia here any sooner.
00:43:53That's just fine. You know what can happen to this town in two hours?
00:43:56They'll tear it apart. They'll rip it apart piece by piece.
00:43:58You've got to stop it, Ben. You've got to.
00:44:00I've got to stop it. Tell me how, will you? Just tell me how I can stop Packard and that wild mob with a handful of deputies.
00:44:06I don't know, Ben, but we've got to try. We've got to do something.
00:44:15Yeah.
00:44:18Frank, get out the riot guns.
00:44:28Went into a roadblock. They almost got him.
00:44:30Yeah, it was a nice even fight, Sheriff. Why didn't you tie my feet, too?
00:44:33They grabbed him before I could unlock the cuffs. Try to get my gun. I had my hands full.
00:44:36Put him back in the cell. Let's go, Packard.
00:44:38Oh, Mr. Kellogg.
00:44:40I don't think I can use this.
00:44:41You'll get instructions.
00:44:42Oh, no, no. That isn't what I meant.
00:44:43Those men, that crowd out at Packard's place.
00:44:46Why, some of them are my friends. Neighbors.
00:44:54Anybody else feel that way?
00:44:55I couldn't do it, Sheriff. I just couldn't.
00:45:01It's just too bad about you.
00:45:03Now, let's get this straight.
00:45:05You're not doing me any favors. You're doing this for yourselves.
00:45:08There are women and children in this town.
00:45:10Some of them your wives and your children.
00:45:12When this thing breaks, life is going to be awful cheap.
00:45:15Nobody's walking away from this because I need 50 for every one of you.
00:45:19I'd like to walk out of it, too.
00:45:22But if I'm in it, you're in it with me.
00:45:49Hey, boys, they found the kid.
00:45:50She's out in the well out there in Brown's Meadow.
00:45:51They found the kid.
00:45:52Kid?
00:45:53What kid?
00:45:54Oh, yeah.
00:45:55Hey, boys, they found the kid.
00:46:01She's out in the well out there in Brown's Venom.
00:46:04They found her out there.
00:46:13They found the kid.
00:46:14Kid?
00:46:14What kid?
00:46:19Oh, yeah.
00:46:25She's at the bottom of the well.
00:46:55Try again, Mrs. Crawford.
00:47:15Carolyn.
00:47:17Carolyn, this is Mommy.
00:47:20Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:47:25Can you hear me, honey?
00:47:38This is Daddy, Carolyn.
00:47:40Can you hear me?
00:47:45A little louder this time.
00:47:49Carolyn.
00:47:51Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:47:53This is Mommy.
00:47:55Can you hear me?
00:47:59Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:48:02This is Mommy, darling.
00:48:14Carolyn.
00:48:15Carolyn, can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:48:19No.
00:48:19No.
00:48:19No.
00:48:25I can hear you.
00:48:49So I said,
00:48:51All right, Mrs. Crawford.
00:49:03Carolyn!
00:49:05Carolyn!
00:49:06Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:49:09This is Mommy!
00:49:21Carolyn, this is Mommy, dear.
00:49:34Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:49:45I hear something.
00:49:51Try it again.
00:49:54Carolyn!
00:49:55Carolyn!
00:49:57Can you hear me, Carolyn?
00:49:59This is Mommy.
00:50:01Answer me, Carolyn.
00:50:03Please, answer me.
00:50:08Mommy!
00:50:10Carolyn!
00:50:11Are you hurt?
00:50:13Are you hurt, Carolyn?
00:50:15Answer me, Carolyn.
00:50:16Are you hurt?
00:50:17Mommy!
00:50:19I fell down.
00:50:21Give me a rope.
00:50:31Why do we explain to her?
00:50:33Tell her to tie it around her waist.
00:50:35Carolyn!
00:50:36Carolyn!
00:50:38Can you hear me?
00:50:39This is Daddy.
00:50:40I fell down, Mommy.
00:50:43Listen to me, Carolyn.
00:50:46Can you hear me?
00:50:49Do you know what I'm saying?
00:50:51I'm dropping you a long rope.
00:50:54Try to tie it around your waist.
00:50:58Can you hear me?
00:51:00Tie it around your waist.
00:51:04Mommy!
00:51:05The rope, honey.
00:51:07Tie the rope around your waist.
00:51:10Do you understand, Carolyn?
00:51:13Around your waist.
00:51:15Carolyn!
00:51:23I'll be!
00:51:25Carolyn!
00:51:29Carolyn!
00:51:31My baby!
00:51:33My baby!
00:51:34You've got to get her out of there!
00:51:36She's out in that hole!
00:51:39Carolyn!
00:51:40Carolyn!
00:51:41You've got to get her out of there!
00:51:45She'll die down there!
00:51:47My baby!
00:51:49My baby!
00:52:11I don't know how accurate these township records are.
00:52:23The well was sunk 30 years ago.
00:52:25According to this old blueprint, it was dug to a depth of 150 feet and then abandoned.
00:52:29It took about 63 feet of rope to reach her, so she must be about here.
00:52:33The well must be clogged with debris below that point.
00:52:35There's no water in the well because the rope came up dry.
00:52:37But then we'll go down to 63 feet, got a tunnel crossed.
00:52:40How long will it take?
00:52:41It depends on what kind of ground we're here.
00:52:43We're going to need plenty of lumber.
00:52:44We're going to have to shore up every six feet to stop cave-ins.
00:52:47I'll get you all the lumber you need.
00:53:10If there's any danger of suffocations out there.
00:53:25The fact that she's alive indicates she's in a position to breathe.
00:53:28But how long can you stay alive?
00:53:30Well, that's hard to say, Mr. Peabody.
00:53:32We don't know how badly she was injured in the fall.
00:53:39Let's go!
00:53:40Let's go!
00:53:41Let's go!
00:53:42Let's go!
00:53:43Let's go!
00:53:55Temperature has dropped to 83 degrees.
00:53:57Keep pumping in that cool air.
00:53:59I doubt if a child her age can survive.
00:54:02The shock alone could kill her.
00:54:04It would help her chances if she went into a faint or a coma.
00:54:09Can you hear anything?
00:54:11I heard her cry some time ago.
00:54:13I haven't heard anything since.
00:54:23Now!
00:54:24We need more light.
00:54:25I think we're on rock.
00:54:27Chad!
00:54:28Mickey!
00:54:29Get some more lanterns over here.
00:54:31Packet's here.
00:54:33You're right there.
00:54:34Okay.
00:54:35See ya.
00:54:36There.
00:54:37It's rock.
00:54:38I know that's hard.
00:54:39You're right.
00:54:40Keep in mind.
00:54:41Let's go else.
00:54:42Follow me.
00:54:43I can see you.
00:54:44You can hear ya.
00:54:46Daddy.
00:54:47Let's go!
00:54:48Check it out.
00:54:49There, Daddy!
00:54:50We are so good!
00:54:51You can see it.
00:54:52I can see it.
00:54:53I can see it.
00:54:54I can see.
00:54:55The side of it.
00:54:56Take the other side.
00:54:57I can see it.
00:54:58You can see it.
00:54:59Let's do it.
00:55:00You can see it!
00:55:01You can see it.
00:55:02At that engine
00:55:32Wow
00:55:50How far down is she
00:55:56Little over 60 feet
00:56:02They'll never get to earn time this way
00:56:10We've got to seek a shaft
00:56:11Got the cable tool rig and some
00:56:14Some 26 inch casings
00:56:16About 80 feet of them
00:56:17Better bring the big scow
00:56:18Right
00:56:18You better bring that big cable crane too
00:56:23Okay
00:56:32We'll sink it about here
00:56:44We've got to have more light
00:56:46There aren't any generators in town
00:56:48I'm having a power line strung in
00:56:49We can't wait for that
00:56:50Come on you guys
00:56:56Give me a hand
00:56:57We need your help folks
00:57:09All of you who have cars
00:57:11Please drive them to the edge of this rope
00:57:13Park them with their headlights
00:57:15Facing towards me
00:57:17Turn on the lights
00:57:18And keep your engines running
00:57:20So the batteries won't burn down
00:57:22Please do this as quick as possible
00:57:24This is going to take some time
00:57:44Wouldn't you like to go home and rest for a little while

00:59:13Hurry it up

00:59:39We won't need those troops after all Jim
00:59:45No

00:59:47I've already noticed
00:59:49услов

01:04:21Take it up.
01:04:22Take it up.
01:04:23Take it up.
01:04:24We're fighting time.
01:04:25The shaft will be finished in less than an hour.
01:04:28Then we'll have to tunnel across to her.
01:04:33We can do it ourselves, but...
01:04:35we could get to her much faster with an experienced man.
01:04:38You've worked on tunnel jobs and mines.
01:04:50She's five years old, Claude. She's trapped in a pipe.
01:04:53I'm going to do just as you told me.
01:04:55I'm getting out of here as fast as I can.
01:04:57I hate this town and everybody in it.
01:05:00I want to forget I ever saw it or you or him or anything about it.
01:05:23Don't turn on the mountain!
01:05:24We'll be here.
01:05:24I will have to run on you.
01:05:25I don't want to see your king here.
01:05:26I will not step back.
01:05:27I will never step back.
01:05:27You will never get back.
01:05:29That's what's good!
01:05:30Easy!
01:05:46Easy.
01:05:49Easy!
01:05:50Easy!
01:05:53Easy!
01:05:55Easy!
01:05:56Easy!
01:05:59Hold it!
01:06:24Hard clay down here. We can tunnel right away. We don't need any timbers.
01:06:28Good. I hope our luck holds out.
01:06:30I hope so, too.
01:06:37About seven feet from the shaft of the well pipe. We can go across here.
01:06:41We'll need headroom.
01:06:43Draw up the casing's about four feet. That'll give you more room to work with.
01:06:47There'll only be space down there for one man to work at first.
01:06:50I'll start it.
01:06:58Is she still alive?
01:07:10We don't know.
01:07:13How far down have you gone?
01:07:16All the way. We're ready to begin tunneling.
01:07:20You'd better dig a six-foot cavern at the bottom of the shaft.
01:07:32It'll put you six feet below the kid. You can tunnel up to where she is.
01:07:36If you hit water, it'll run back here, away from her.
01:07:38There's no sign of water down there.
01:07:40Clay's tricky stuff. I've seen water break through it without a warning.
01:07:44Okay. That's the way we'll do it.
01:07:48Sam.
01:07:52Maybe I'd better go.
01:07:54I want to have a look at that formation.
01:07:56Gaines!
01:08:02Give me your harness, Gaines.
01:08:08Quigley, you got that throat mic hooked up?
01:08:10Sure, it's okay.
01:08:26Let us know how it's going or if you run into any trouble.
01:08:30All right, take it up a little bit.
01:08:40Jump!
01:08:46Bring it down, bring it down. Easy!
01:08:50Keep going, keep going.
01:08:52Easy.
01:08:54Keep it up, keep going.
01:08:56That's it.
01:08:58Take strength, please.
01:09:00Go ahead.
01:09:28Take strength, please.
01:09:36Get up!
01:09:38THE END
01:10:08THE END
01:10:14Ben, you better have them turn off their car motors.
01:10:17Right, have them cut the motors.
01:10:20Attention everybody.
01:10:23Would you please shut off your car motors or keep your headlights burning?
01:10:27How does it look?
01:10:30Not so good. Water is coming in.
01:10:33How fast?
01:10:35Four, maybe five gallons a minute.
01:10:38Can we keep going?
01:10:39Not a chance. It's up to my knees already.
01:10:42You better pull me up.
01:10:46Get that auxiliary pump over here.
01:10:49Bring him up.
01:10:51How long will it take to pump it out?
01:10:54There's no way of telling. Maybe ours.
01:10:58You better pull me up.
01:11:00You better pull me up.
01:11:01You better pull me up.
01:11:03I'll be back.
01:11:05I'll be back.
01:11:06I'll be back.
01:11:07Come on.
01:11:09Come on.
01:11:10I haven't heard a thing since I took over, Ben. That was a couple of hours ago.
01:11:16What do you think of her chances, Doc?
01:11:17A baby down there in that darkness? She's been down there a long time, Mr. Kellogg.
01:11:26The will of a greater power than ours will decide.
01:11:31Okay. Hold it!
01:11:56Don't eat
01:12:03Right, have them put their engines again.
01:12:07Attention, please.
01:12:10Will you turn off your car motors again, please?
01:12:14Easy.
01:12:16A little slower.
01:12:19Hold it.
01:12:22That's good.
01:12:28How does it look?
01:12:30Not too bad.
01:12:32The water's all pumped out.
01:12:35Too much mud here.
01:12:37We'll have to clear it out.
01:12:43It's a little better up here.
01:12:44We may not have to use timbers.
01:12:48Watch that sandstone.
01:12:49It's loose.
01:12:51Okay.
01:12:52Hand me the pick.
01:12:58Watch it.
01:12:59That wall's gone.
01:13:01Get back, Wally.
01:13:02Get back.
01:13:05Get out.
01:13:06Wally.
01:13:07Wally.
01:13:08Cave in.
01:13:08Cave in.
01:13:09He's caught.
01:13:09I need help.
01:13:13Come on.
01:13:13Come on.
01:13:13Get down here, will you?
01:13:14I need help.
01:13:17Get down here.
01:13:18Get his legs.
01:13:39Hurry up.
01:13:41That shelf's ready to slide.
01:13:44All right.
01:13:45I'll cut his legs, Brick.
01:13:47This whole thing is falling in.
01:13:49His face.
01:13:51Keep his face out of the mud.
01:13:52Well.
01:13:53All right, now.
01:13:55Pull.
01:13:56Lift him.
01:13:59Lift him.
01:13:59Get in the bucket.
01:14:03Can you hold him?
01:14:07All right.
01:14:09Take it up.
01:14:11Very easy.
01:14:12Easy.
01:14:12Get in the bucket.
01:14:13Get in the bucket.
01:14:13Get in the bucket.
01:14:14Get in the bucket.

01:14:17Get in the bucket.
01:14:17Get in the bucket.
01:14:18Get in the bucket.
01:14:18Get in the bucket.
01:14:18Get in the bucket.

01:14:23Get in the bucket.
01:14:23Get in the bucket.
01:14:24Get in the bucket.
01:14:24Get in the bucket.
01:14:24Get in the bucket.
01:14:55Come on, Bill. Take him right on down now.
01:15:03Come on, Bill. Right on down.
01:15:06Easy now.
01:15:14All right, we've got him. Come on.
01:15:17Get it down to him fast. That roof's going to fall in any minute.
01:15:25Come on.
01:15:34Claude! Claude!
01:15:37I'm okay. They fell apart at the other end.
01:15:40Come on up, Claude.
01:15:42Okay.
01:15:43Wait a minute.
01:15:45I think I see it.
01:15:47It is! It's the pipe!
01:15:49There's a wide hole at the other end. I see the pipe!
01:15:53Send down a saw. I'm going to cut through.
01:15:55No, Claude. Come on up.
01:15:57Hurry up. Send down a saw.
01:15:59Get up here, Claude. We'll shore it up first. Get in that bucket.
01:16:03Send down a saw, will you? There's water coming in again.
01:16:06Make him come out. It's my child's life, but make him come out.
01:16:10Are you going to send down a saw to break this pipe apart with my hands?
01:16:16You'll need help.
01:16:18Bring up that bucket. Where's that pneumatic saw?
01:16:21Gage is coming down with it.
01:16:23He's going straight down.
01:16:25Right. Get that ambulance over here.
01:16:28They're going to cut through the pipe.
01:16:31Oh.
01:16:40Back it up to the shaft.
01:17:10Keep it straight until you slip out.
01:17:13That's good.
01:17:14They're cutting through the pipe.
01:17:17A little harder.
01:17:19Hold her steady.
01:17:21She's cutting fast.
01:17:24Look late, good morning.
01:17:26Never mind. Keep it up.
01:17:29Hand me that shovel.
01:17:36We're through!
01:17:37We've cut through the pipe!
01:17:40Hold that flashlight higher.
01:17:48I think I see her.
01:17:51Can you make it?
01:17:53No, I... I can't reach her.
01:17:56Raise my legs.
01:17:57Okay. I got you.
01:18:00All right.
01:18:02Take her legs.
01:18:03Never mind me.
01:18:05Take it easy.
01:18:08We've got her!
01:18:11Throw down a blanket!
01:18:12Throw down a blanket!
01:18:13Is she alive?
01:18:16I can't tell!
01:18:17Throw down a blanket!
01:18:18All right.
01:18:28Take it up.
01:18:30Very easy.
01:18:32Easy.
01:18:34A loose floor.
01:18:37Take it easy.
01:18:39Take it easy.
01:18:40Take it easy.
01:18:43That's good.
01:18:46Keep it easy.
01:18:49Easy.
01:18:50The wing is.
01:18:51Keep it easy.
01:18:52If you have to…
01:18:54I can't hide.
01:18:56I don't know.
01:18:57I think...
01:18:58It's really wise...
01:18:59Take it easy.
01:19:00Take it easy.
01:20:02All right, take it up again.
01:21:32It will be done in her as it is in heaven.
01:21:35Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
01:21:43And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
01:21:47For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
01:21:54Amen.
01:21:54She's going to be all right.
01:22:21The little girl's alive.
01:22:40She's going to be all right.
01:22:41She's going to be all right.
01:22:41Come on!
01:22:42Come on!
01:22:42Come on!
01:22:42Come on!
01:22:44Come on!
01:22:45Come on!
01:22:46Come on!
01:22:47Come on!
01:22:48Come on!
