01:40Good morning.
01:42Good morning.
01:43Give me just $2 worth, please.
01:47Ask him.
01:56Excuse me, mister.
01:57We're strangers around here.
01:58Now, I was wondering if you could tell me where television station KBEX is.
02:00You want to be first in line to see all those TV stars, huh?
02:05Yeah, that's what we figured.
02:09Well, you'll see your share.
02:11According to the ads, they got some of the biggest names in show business coming to help raise money for
02:16the hospital and that new children's wing.
02:17Hey, mister.
02:20Directions is what we want and $2 worth of gas, not conversation.
02:25Where is this place?
02:26Four lights back down the highway and left two blocks, right and left again, about a mile and a half.
02:31You'll run right into it.
02:33Four lights, Dan, and then left?
02:35I got it, Coley.
02:36I got it.
02:38Pay the man.
02:38Let's go.
02:46Thank you very much.
02:48All right.
02:49Let's go see some of them big TV stars.
02:54Maybe kill us, Will.
03:16Okay, but take it slow.
03:17Why don't you count to ten or something?
03:19Five, ten.
03:21Where is he?
03:23Who's he?
03:23There's only one key around here.
03:28Okay, where is he?
03:30He's in his office with a door knob.
03:31He's just infailed in his back, Webster.
03:36Won't you gentlemen come in?
03:44Now, what is it we're going to discuss here?
03:48This assignment, this telethon thing.
03:51It's silly.
03:53You concur with that, Officer Gibbs?
03:55Yes, sir, I do.
03:57Well, gentlemen, the way the procedure on that works is this.
04:01You do not choose your assignments.
04:03You are chosen for your assignments, and you will carry them out as ordered, when ordered, and because ordered.
04:09Might be helpful for you to remember that.
04:13Come on, Lieutenant.
04:15All we're asking for is an even break.
04:17Even break.
04:18What does that mean?
04:19Maybe some of the guys you put on the stakeout would be willing to trade off with us.
04:23I mean, maybe some of them would like to nurse-made this country in Western Singer.
04:27Fix it up among yourselves.
04:29Is that what you're saying?
04:30Yeah, at least give us a chance to ask around.
04:33Wonderful.
04:33I can see it now.
04:35200 men gathered around every morning over coffee, trying to decide which assignments they would like to keep for that
04:40day, which ones they would like to trade off.
04:42How picturesque and how tranquil, and above all, how democratic.
04:47Well, you may live in a democracy, but you don't work in one.
04:50This is a dictatorship, and I am your dictator.
04:53Is that understood?
04:55All right.
04:57I want you to roll your unit over to that hotel, and I want you to stay with Mr. Country
05:01Mark Rogers until that telethon is over.
05:05Any questions?
05:07Well, sir, um...
05:08You can ask them later on.
05:09Get out of here now.
05:19Well, I guess it'll pass.
05:23Yeah.
05:24So will the kidney stone, but the process is usually a painful one.
05:53All right, you kids, get back out of there before you get a hunt.
05:56Come on.
05:57Oh, baby!
05:58I'm coming here for the last place.
06:00Get back to the sidewalk.
06:03Oh, my God, did you see him?
06:05I mean, from up close?
06:06Oh, what eyes.
06:09You ought not be running after this kind of people.
06:11You ought to be home where you can't get in any trouble.
06:13Home?
06:14Are you serious?
06:15Well, I'm only telling you for your own good.
06:17Him and his kind will cost you nothing but grief.
06:19Hey, man, you're giving me all the grief I need.
06:22See you later, Elfrico.
06:25There's another one.
06:28Oh, look at that.
06:28All right, kids, let's go.
06:31I just don't know.
06:33Never in a million years.
06:38See him?
06:40No, I didn't.
06:41The guard said he ain't gone through yet.
06:42What are you doing back here, Corley?
06:45I'm tired, that's why I'm here.
06:46I've been out there waiting long enough.
06:47You want to go out there and stand?
06:48Go on.
06:49I'm going to stay here.
06:50Okay, okay, simmer down.
06:55She wasn't no older than Ellie.
06:58Who wasn't no older than Ellie?
07:00That girl.
07:03I bet if somebody told Ellie, she'd have gone home.
07:05If somebody had just taken the time and told her.
07:07If she'd known what was going to happen.
07:09She knew.
07:10She did not know Ellie was a good girl.
07:12Don't talk about our sister that way.
07:14Corley, when are you going to face the fact that Ellie was a grown woman?
07:17She was only a few months past 17.
07:20Well, that's old enough.
07:20She proved that, didn't she?
07:23Giving birth to his baby is what killed her.
07:26You remember that?
07:29You know what, TJ?
07:30What?
07:32If Ellie knew what we was going to do, she'd say it was wrong.
07:36Yeah, maybe she would.
07:39If she was alive, but she ain't.
07:42That's why we're here, ain't it?
07:46Ain't it?
08:02Hey, hold it, man.
08:03Pull up right here.
08:04I got to say hello to my people.
08:06What people?
08:07We're the undeserving ones.
08:09What Mark's saying is that anybody that's got the prize of a record in these blue jeans is deserving.
08:13Yeah, Mr. Rogers, we're supposed to have you in the studio in 10 minutes.
08:16Oh, now, don't you go getting all head up.
08:18You like that, Billy?
08:20Head up?
08:22This ain't going to take long.
08:23What's my experience is, a man wearing tight pants carrying a guitar, he ain't long as I'm very long.
08:28I'll go along with you.
08:29Make sure you get there in time.
08:32Meet you at the guard shack.
08:33Don't stand too close to me.
08:34My people don't like me hanging out with cops.
08:36Yeah, well, my people don't like me hanging out with country and western cities.
08:39Hey, it's Mark Rogers.
08:40Give me a favor.
08:42Hold it for me.
08:43Okay, honey, don't push now.
08:45Wash my shoes.
08:48Don't get my clothes either.
08:50One at a time, one at a time.
08:51I got you all.
08:52Okay, here we go.
08:53There you go.
08:54Okay, here we go.
08:55I guess a lot of big stars wouldn't take the time to do something like that, would they?
09:00That's true.
09:01Most of them just have the girls sent up to the room.
09:05Stop the engine.
09:06Hmm?
09:07Where are we going?
09:07Do what I tell you.
09:09Oh, my God.
09:11Oh, there he is.
09:11Oh, can I have you out of ground?
09:13Oh, sir, me out of ground?
09:13Give ourselves a chance here to see if we can do something with it, all right?
09:17TJ, there are too many policemen.
09:19It'll be over so quick, they won't have time to scratch yourselves.
09:22But, Carly, we've got to get this done.
09:27I'm going to get another picture.
09:28I've got to get another picture.
09:29Here he comes.
09:29I'm going to get another picture.
09:30I'm going to get another picture.
09:33All right?
09:34All right.
09:35Okay, come on.
09:36Go, go.
09:37Go, go.
09:38And one.
09:47Watch out.
09:59You okay?
10:01Yeah.
10:01All right?
10:03I'm okay.
10:04You all right?
10:06I haven't been for this officer right here, Billy.
10:08You'd be looking for a new guitar picker.
10:11I sure want to thank you, officer.
10:13It's okay.
10:14Well, it may be just okay to you, but you made my mom a happy woman.
10:17And her son, awful grateful.
10:19You just had to sign a couple of autographs, didn't you?
10:21It's all over, Billy.
10:22Don't fret it.
10:25Here, country.
10:26Well, thank you, honey.
10:27You're welcome.
10:29Well, that's a mighty neighbor of you.
10:32Hey, Billy.
10:33See if you can give my little honey here a ticket to Friday night's concert.
10:36You make it?
10:38Officer, I got to get in there.
10:39I'm running late.
10:40Let's go.
10:41The car's right over here.
10:44I'm so happy.
10:45I'll write down your name, your address, your telephone number.
10:47Okay.
10:48What I am suggesting, Officer Webster, is that you take a look at the overall picture
10:52and see if you can come up with any other possible motives for this almost hit and run.
10:57Like what, Lieutenant?
10:58For instance, a publicity stunt.
11:00That's been known to happen.
11:01Well, it didn't today.
11:02That car only missed him by...
11:03Missed him, you see, Webster.
11:04That's the operative clause we want to hang on to here.
11:07Missed him because it did miss him.
11:09Add it up this way.
11:11A speeding car swerves at the last minute.
11:14It's a near miss.
11:15A country and western singer is the intended victim.
11:19And the car happens to be carrying Tennessee license plates.
11:22Tennessee?
11:23Well, you told me black on white, that's Tennessee.
11:25Or would you care to check me out on that?
11:26Oh, no, sir.
11:28But there is another way to add it up.
11:31What's that, Webster?
11:32That it wasn't a publicity stunt and that someone is really out to kill Mark Rogers.
11:36Well, we'll know more about that once we pick up the car, won't we?
11:40You will put out a call on the car?
11:41I never said I wouldn't, Webster.
11:43If you're right, it's a possible ADW.
11:45If I'm right, it was a publicity stunt that endangered the public.
11:49Goodbye, Officer Webster.
11:52Goodbye, Lieutenant.
11:56We had that sucker dead to rights and you missed him on purpose.
11:58I'm saying you missed him on purpose.
12:00Have you seen that policeman, that girl?
12:01I couldn't hit them, too.
12:02We ain't talking about a policeman and a girl.
12:04He ain't in this conversation, Corley.
12:06We're talking about Mark Rogers and you missed him.
12:08And I'm going to...
12:09Hello?
12:10Hello, Daddy.
12:11Who's this?
12:13This is TJ.
12:14Did you do it?
12:14Did you?
12:16No, sir.
12:17You didn't?
12:18No, sir.
12:19We didn't get him.
12:20Little Rock, Oklahoma.
12:20You missed him in Oklahoma City, too, sir, yes.
12:22Blind or something, I taught you better.
12:24Dad...
12:25Looks to me like you ain't even trying.
12:27Daddy.
12:28Daddy, we was trying to run him down with a car, see?
12:30Corley was driving.
12:31We had him pulled and Corley turned off.
12:33He missed him deliberate.
12:34You put that boy on the phone.
12:35Put Corley on the phone right now.
12:41Says he'd like a word with you, Corley.
12:58Hello, Daddy.
12:59Corley, you tell me what's going on out there.
13:02Well, you'd best have one good excuse.
13:05There's too many policemen.
13:07A policeman, huh?
13:09Well, so what?
13:11That ain't no more reason than you had the other time.
13:13But I couldn't hit him, too, Daddy.
13:15You know what you went up there for?
13:17Yes, sir.
13:17Well?
13:18Yes, sir, but...
13:19You keep telling me you want to raise that little whelp your sister, Ellie, spawned.
13:23Well, there ain't no way you're gonna do that unless you do what I told you to do.
13:29Corley, Curlew, you always was a cross for me to carry.
13:32Now you prove you can carry our name.
13:36You kill Mr. Countrymark Rogers, and this brat is yours.
13:41You don't?
13:42Don't you never come back here?
13:44You understand me?
13:46Never.
13:47I understand, Daddy.
13:48Put TJ back on the phone.
13:50Yes, sir.
14:03Daddy?
14:03That's you, son.
14:05Yes, sir.
14:06Did he get my meaning?
14:07I think he understood you good, Daddy.
14:09Well, he better understand me good.
14:10You hear me?
14:12We'll get him.
14:13This time, next time out, he's dead, Daddy.
14:14Well, he for sure better be dead.
14:16You'll be hearing from us real soon, Daddy.
14:18I want no more mistakes.
14:19Bye.
14:28You know what, TJ?
14:30Somebody stole the Bible out of here.
14:34It's hard to believe what some folks will do, ain't it?
14:37Lightning Express was pulling out.
14:39A little boy got on the train.
14:42His hat was pulled down.
14:44Over his eyes, there was no one that knew his name.
14:48The conductor came through and said,
14:50Tickets, please.
14:51The little boy looked up in shame.
14:54And every time the conductor came through,
14:57These words were ringing in his ears.
15:00Please, Mr. Conductor, don't put the door on the train.
15:03John Toll?
15:06Pledge of $10.
15:07Can you give me an address, Mr. Toll?
15:09Is waiting for me to be in vain.
15:11Expected to die any moment, sir.
15:14She may not live through the day.
15:16Baby, don't look nothing like you.
15:18To kiss my mama goodbye.
15:20I'm glad.
15:21I ain't loving her awful hard.
15:23I'm good and a girl sitting here by his side.
15:26Said to put that boy off his shame.
15:28It just ain't right to give a new life and take another in its place.
15:32It just ain't right that Ellie died the way she did.
15:34I think you did a piss for your kindness.
15:36Ain't him all that shirt's right in killing you.
15:40Can't see what good it's gonna do.
15:43Ellie's dead and she's gonna stay that way whether we kill you or not.
15:48All I know is it's gonna bring a lot of trouble and misery to everybody.
15:54Maybe even someday to the baby.
15:57Expected to die any moment, sir.
16:00She may not live through the day.
16:03I'd like to get home to kiss my mama goodbye before God takes her away.
16:34I'd like to talk to Mr. Country Mark Rogers, please.
16:38Well, yes, ma'am.
16:38I know I'm watching the television, but I got to talk to him just as soon as I can.
16:46No, ma'am.
16:47I don't know nothing about them pledges.
16:49All I know is I got to talk to Mr. Country Mark Rogers.
16:53Mr. Rogers, fantastic.
16:56Good work.
16:56While you were singing, $4,000 more.
16:59Hey, we're doing okay, young buddy.
17:01I would say you're doing great.
17:03Ah, remember that nurse I told you I'd introduce you to?
17:06I don't know why.
17:06Let's show you how.
17:08Jill, I would like you to meet Country Mark Rogers.
17:11Hello.
17:11Jill Danko.
17:12Mrs. Jill Danko.
17:14Ma'am, it's a real pleasure.
17:15Pleasure to meet you, Country Mark.
17:16You know, I got to say it.
17:18You nurses up there are doing a fine thing.
17:20Well, we really appreciate what you've done to help us, I'll tell you that.
17:23Um, there's some phone calls coming in for you if you wouldn't mind taking a couple of them.
17:26Well, I'd be tickled blue, ma'am.
17:28You just point me in the right direction.
17:29Hey, Mr. Rogers.
17:30Mr. Rogers.
17:31Hey, ma'am.
17:31That was very nice.
17:33Why, thank you, buddy.
17:33Very nice.
17:34Could I ask you a couple of questions before you get too busy?
17:37Well, I have a party waiting on the line if it won't take too long.
17:39No, no, no.
17:40Won't take too long.
17:40Excuse us.
17:45You know anybody in Tennessee?
17:47Well, I hope the smile will say, howdy, I record in Nashville.
17:50Play the opera twice a year.
17:51Uh-huh.
17:52Why?
17:55Well, that car that almost ran you down had Tennessee plates.
17:58Well, there's a whole lot of people living in Tennessee, no matter who tells you different.
18:01I was, uh, just talking to a few people outside, uh, those that saw what happened.
18:07And a couple of them just aren't that sure that it wasn't deliberate.
18:11Oh, who'd want to run me down?
18:13Well, you tell me.
18:14Well, if I could, I would.
18:16And I'd make certain the whole mess of people knew about it.
18:18Now, let me get off this onto something more pleasant.
18:20Excuse me.
18:21Miss Danko?
18:22Don't you think you kept that party waiting long enough?
18:24Sure did.
18:24Come on.
18:28Hey, partner.
18:30You're more worried than he is.
18:31Come on, relax.
18:32Relax.
18:33Relax.
18:34Yeah?
18:35If somebody's trying to kill him, and we're supposed to stick close to him, we're liable to get hurt.
18:41I don't want to get hurt.
18:42Know what I mean?
18:44Hello, cuz.
18:45This country Mark Rogers here.
18:46What can I do for you?
18:50Hello?
18:51You got a request?
18:52Want to hear something?
18:53You go ahead and speak out.
18:54Tell them what it is.
18:56Don't be bashful.
18:56Come on.
18:57Hello?
18:59Now, Miss Danko, if you weren't a married lady, I'd swear you were just trying to give me off a
19:04loan.
19:05Ain't nobody on that phone at all.
19:19Is he still down there at that TV station?
19:21Uh, yeah.
19:21He just sung a song.
19:28He's got a real nice voice.
19:30He's got a real nice voice.
19:32Well, hooray for his real nice voice, Corley.
19:36What you got in there?
19:38What I got in here?
19:40What I got in here is what's gonna get me inside that TV station, Corley.
19:57Where do you think you're going?
19:59You see, my boss's kid was in Memorial Hospital a couple years back.
20:03And he figured the least he could do was send over a whole mess of hamburgers for the folks that
20:07are working so hard on the telethon.
20:08It's, uh, it's his contribution, kind of.
20:10Well, uh, I'd better take a look here and see what you got here.
20:15Yeah, well, I guess you can go on in.
20:17Uh, but you better be back here in ten minutes or I'll come looking for you.
20:19Sure.
20:20It shouldn't take me no longer.
20:21Sure.
20:22Sure.
20:23Sure.
20:31K.J.
20:35Now, you come back here.
20:36K.J.
21:07K.J.
21:35Can you tell me where they get food for the people and stuff on?
21:38Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's right over there, right through the double doors over there.
21:42Thank you very much.
21:43Come on.
22:13Oh, I do.
22:15Me either.
22:16I always have trouble with my times.
22:19I just flake it.
22:20I just tuck it under and go.
22:22That's it.
22:22That's pretty good.
22:23Let's drop it.
22:34What are these?
22:36Hamburgers.
22:37I have a cell.
22:41I do.
22:43I do.
23:00I do.
23:01the studio. It was really easy to sneak in. I got some great souvenirs. I got a pair of David
23:11Cassidy's socks. At least I think they were David Cassidy's. Hey, Joe's been asking about you. Why
23:21so late? Oh, I had to go in on a possible hit and run. Oh, join the club? Yeah, mine
23:26came in 10 minutes
23:27before I was ready to get off duty. I had to go over and check a motel on Adam's. They
23:30spotted the
23:31car over there. It took me an hour to fill out the reports, not to mention the out-of-state
23:34DMV. Out-of-state? Like in Tennessee? Yeah. Two guys? How'd you know? Pick them up? No, I missed
23:46them by a couple of minutes, but the motel's going to call headquarters when they come back.
23:50Riker know about it? Yeah, he knows. Tell me where you bought that hamburger and I'll tell
23:54you the whole story. Well, you don't have to buy them. Some guy just bought them in about
23:58five minutes ago. Uh, Joe, excuse me. I think I see somebody I would like to know. She's
24:15almost as pretty as you are. I'm sorry I'm late. It's okay. Hey, wait a minute. I've got
24:27a surprise for you. Ah, how would you like our dinner in the dressing room of a star?
24:35Oh, my God.
24:39Oh, man.
24:43Oh, man.
25:01Oh, my God.
25:25You okay?
25:26Yeah.
25:31No.
25:47Police, halt.
25:52Wait a minute.
25:53No.
26:09No.
26:21No.
26:23No.
26:34Mr., there's a dead man out there, and I want to know why.
26:37How about this for a reason? Why?
26:39This guy's ID. Record's on his way.
26:41What about it? You gonna need a doctor?
26:42No, I think he'll be okay.
26:43Yeah, you're real brave.
26:46Does the name T.J. Curley mean anything to you?
26:48Nothing.
26:49To the home of Tennessee?
26:50Less than nothing.
26:51Who was he?
26:52Did you ever see him before?
26:54If I did, I can't tell you when or where.
26:57What'd he say?
26:58He didn't say anything.
26:59Mr. Rogers, there were two men in that car that tried to run you down.
27:02What if the second guy's waiting to make his move?
27:05Now, come on, isn't there anything you can tell us?
27:07If I could, I would, but I can't.
27:09I don't know who, and I don't even know why.
27:13You grant it wasn't an accident this morning?
27:15I will now.
27:16I think he knew it then.
27:17I saw the look your manager gave you.
27:19Yeah?
27:20Well, after what happened in Oklahoma City and in Little Rock, I just thought it was
27:24some of the same ones.
27:25After what happened?
27:27Accidents, or what I thought was accidents.
27:29Why didn't you tell us about that this morning?
27:31What could I say?
27:32That somebody's trying to kill me?
27:34And I don't even know who it could be or why?
27:36You ought to have thought I was a little dingy, wouldn't you?
27:38No, sir.
27:40I tried to convince the department that someone was out to kill you.
27:43Now, if you'd leveled with me, we just might have been able to convince them.
27:48Yeah, well, maybe they'll believe our story now.
27:58T.J. got killed, Daddy.
28:02I've seen him take his body away.
28:05How'd it come to be, Corley?
28:07A policeman shot him.
28:09Did he?
28:10Did he kill that Rogers fella?
28:12Well, did he?
28:15No, no, he didn't.
28:18I loved that boy, Corley.
28:21So did I, Daddy.
28:23I know it, son.
28:24I know you did.
28:27What'd I do now?
28:29Do?
28:30You'd do what I sent you there to do.
28:34What good would that do?
28:36Ellie's dead, and T.J.'s dead.
28:39That's right.
28:40Your brother's dead, your sister's dead.
28:44One man's responsible.
28:46You'd do what I told you to do, Corley,
28:47or I swear you'll never see that child you're so fancied on.
28:52No.
28:53No, Daddy.
28:54Then do it, Corley.
28:56Do it.
28:57Okay.
28:58I'll do it.
29:01I'll do it, Daddy.
29:03I swear I'll do it.
29:05I swear I'll do it.
29:20Hey, I won't be able to give you the ride, I promised.
29:23Oh, that's all right.
29:24I'll hitchhike.
29:25Girls ought not hitchhike.
29:27You're just full of things people should not have do.
29:30You better hurry and join the 20th century while there's still time.
29:33Things like this?
29:35Like running after celebrities?
29:37Something to do.
29:38Some of them are really nice.
29:41How old are you?
29:42Seventeen.
29:43Same as Ellie.
29:44Who?
29:45Tell me.
29:46Would you make love to one of them?
29:48Yeah, I guess I would with some of them anyway.
29:51Why?
29:53Are you putting me on?
29:55You know, it's just that I knew a girl like you once,
29:57and she felt the same as you do,
29:59and I never understood why.
30:01It's because they're who they are.
30:04I mean, they're way up there in a far-out world, all alone,
30:07and we're down here.
30:09You look around, and you see nothing's going for you.
30:11I mean, your whole life is just one big so what.
30:14Yeah, if I could climb up there with them for even an hour,
30:18it'd be worth it.
30:19I could look back from then on no matter what happens to me
30:22and say, yeah, I've been there.
30:24I know what it's like.
30:25It's like death.
30:26It's mean, and it's ugly,
30:27and it leaves you more alone than you were before.
30:30They're only people.
30:31They're not gods.
30:32They're not worth T.J. dying for.
30:40Yeah, well, different strokes for different folks.
30:43See you later.
30:46Hi.
30:47Hi.
31:18I'll tell you what.
31:18You hold that, okay?
31:19Sure.
31:25Are you anybody important?
31:30Yeah, I'm Nick Jaggers' astrologer.
31:32Hey, what's the name of that motel where they all stayed?
31:34The autograph place.
31:36Band house.
31:37Much obliged.
31:48You can sing it up.
31:49You all deserve to because we did it, babe.
31:51See it?
31:51We did it.
31:53$500,000.
31:54We went over the top.
31:55Over the top.
31:56We did it.
31:56Actually, actually, we did do it, ladies and gentlemen.
31:59You did it.
31:59You did it from the bottom of your bottomless hearts.
32:02You did it because from sea to shining sea,
32:05there's no one like you,
32:06and there's no one like me.
32:08So this is Eddie Jackie saying bye-bye,
32:11and God bless every one of you fantabulous people,
32:13and don't forget to drop down to the chicken food club.
32:15Let that be a lesson to you, Webster.
32:16Never overlook the obvious.
32:18What may look like a publicity stunt
32:20may indeed be an attempted murder.
32:22Well, the word's familiar, Lieutenant,
32:23but I can't quite get the tune
32:25if you could hum a few bars.
32:26I'm not going to sing any apology to you.
32:29You were right, and I was wrong.
32:32Now, what about Mark Rogers?
32:34Well, I pushed him as hard as I could.
32:36As far as he's concerned,
32:37he doesn't have an enemy in the world.
32:39He didn't recognize this T.J. Curlew's name or face.
32:43You think he's holding back?
32:45At first I did, but...
32:48Now I'm not quite sure.
32:50I mean, uh...
32:51The guy's been around, Lieutenant.
32:52He could have stepped on thousands of toes
32:53without ever knowing anything about him.
32:55Where is he now?
32:57Uh, Mike and Jill took him back to the motel.
32:59Mike's going to stay with him
33:00until another unit's assigned.
33:01Well, you two are the other unit.
33:03Let's go.
33:03I got some questions I want to ask them.
33:08Thank you very much, everybody.
33:10Crew call for eight tomorrow morning
33:11to strike the set.
33:13Try to arrive sober, but at least arrive.
33:15Ah!
33:16It's going to have to arrive at eight o'clock tomorrow morning.
33:22Let's go straight on down to 307.
33:31See, I hate to complain,
33:32but I think this thing's opened up again.
33:34It looks like it in my hand.
33:36Yeah, I'll get the kit from the car.
33:42It wasn't too long ago
33:44I was trying to figure out how to get you up here.
33:46But this isn't exactly what I had in mind.
33:52I sure wish you hadn't brought this lady with you.
33:54I sure wish you hadn't.
33:55I think I should have started.
34:25Mike!
34:26Don't move!
34:27He's all right.
34:28Drag him in there.
34:29Come on.
34:33Mister, I don't know who you are or what the heck this is all about.
34:36Well, I'll just take you someplace we won't be disturbed, and I'll tell you who I am,
34:39and I'll tell you how come I'm gonna kill you.
34:43There's too many folks around here.
34:46Now, come on.
34:46You go first.
34:55Go that way.
35:08Mark!
35:09Got a little drink?
35:10A little toddy for the body?
35:12That's the kind of day you've had.
35:14I figured it sounded pretty good.
35:16Mark!
35:18Now, hey, come on.
35:19I just make this over about twice a year, you know.
35:23Mark!
35:24Are you awake?
35:26Are you in there?
35:33Hey, I thought you people were gonna look after him.
35:35Where the dickens is he?
35:37Mike should have been here at least 15 minutes ago.
35:52Let's take a look inside.
36:10Oh, he's gone.
36:14He took Jill and Rogers, right?
36:16Who?
36:16You ever seen him before?
36:17Look, I've got some rye in the room if he wants a drink.
36:20No, I walked through that door and he decked me.
36:23You have any idea where he might have taken him?
36:25I was out two seconds after I came through that door.
36:29Well, there aren't that many possibilities, are there, Lieutenant?
36:32Rogers doesn't know the town, does he?
36:34Oh, no.
36:35Doesn't sound like that other guy with the Tennessee plates does either.
36:38All right, Webster.
36:39They're not in a motel.
36:40Where are they?
36:40Well, either he's running, which would be tough for two hostages,
36:44or else he's gone back to the only other place in town he knows,
36:47the television studio.
37:09Okay, move.
37:39Hold it.
37:51You're going to kill me.
37:53I got to.
37:57Well, why are you doing this?
37:59I mean, a condemned man's got rights.
38:01The least of them ought to be told why he's going to be killed.
38:04It's only kind of Ellie.
38:07It's only kind of her dying.
38:11Please don't do that, miss.
38:13Now, I've got no reason to hurt you.
38:15Now, I'm just going to do what I got to do,
38:17and I'm going to leave you here, and they'll find you in the morning,
38:18and you'll be all right just as long as you do what I tell you.
38:21Now, put that phone back where it was.
38:28You mind telling me, who is Ellie?
38:31This ain't no time to make jokes.
38:34Man, don't you think I know that?
38:56So, help me God, I don't remember her.
38:59Lie.
39:01She told me all about you and that night in Nashville.
39:10Now you remember her, don't you?
39:17No.
39:18Ellie.
39:20I'm talking to you about Ellie.
39:24Damn it.
39:25You've got to remember her.
39:27She gave you something she could only give once.
39:33Now, don't you dirty her name by telling me you don't remember her.
39:39I don't mean to do that.
39:41I mean, I swear it.
39:43But I swear I don't remember her.
39:45There's been so many.
39:47So many faces, so many stages.
39:49I swear I can't separate them.
39:51They're just nothing.
39:53No faces or nothing.
39:56They were just a way to get from sunset to sunup.
40:01She died for you.
40:04Hey, I mean, I should remember her.
40:06She's very pretty.
40:08Not no more, she ain't.
40:13She came back from Nashville.
40:16She told me, she says, Corley.
40:21Corley, she says, I met me an honest-to-God record star.
40:30Corley, she says, I have no idea.
40:31She was so happy.
40:34Even when she held the baby in her arms,
