00:28The
00:53So that's why you've been leading me on, Peggy.
01:00I wanted your friendship, Roger. I knew that you could do something for my husband.
01:05He is a genius who's never had a chance. I wanted to get him that chance.
01:13There. You know it all.
01:15And for that, you offer me your friendship?
01:23It's rather a good one for me. No one that you and I need ever know.
01:32You're not backing down now.
01:37Hasn't friendship any other meaning for a man?
01:41Yes, sometimes. But not with a charming woman like you.
01:47Please, please. I love my husband.
01:50Yes, and I love you madly.
02:20Peggy. Peggy. Peggy.
02:29Peggy.
02:32He's dead.
02:35Come, you must get out of here.
02:38No.
02:42The scream came from here.
02:45Peggy.
02:46Get out of here.
02:57Floyd Milburn.
02:59You have been justly tried and found guilty of manslaughter.
03:04Have you anything to say before sentence is pronounced upon you?
03:09Nothing.
03:12It is the judgment of this court that you be imprisoned in the state prison for the rest of your
03:20natural life.
03:20No.
03:34No.
03:49No.
03:50We all are when they come here for board and lodging.
03:53Hasn't said one word to me since we left the city.
03:56Hasn't said a word since they nailed him with the dead man.
03:58No story.
04:00No defense.
04:01No nothing.
04:03Protecting someone, eh?
04:04Maybe.
04:05There were rumors about a woman.
04:07But she never spoke up.
04:09And he didn't.
04:10And the dead man couldn't.
04:12I guess they were the only three who knew.
04:14I can imagine a dead man keeping a secret.
04:17But a woman?
04:19No.
04:58Sir.
04:59Hey shorty.
05:00Them rock piles is sure raising the devil with my nails.
05:11What're you wastin' all your time with them drawings for?
05:15Why don't you take it easy?
05:19Working keeps a fella from thinking too much, Biffa.
05:23Yeah?
05:25Well, I've done my thinking already.
05:28When I get out of here, there's one guy that's going to find out what it's all about.
05:46Nothing like coming home after a hard day's work and going to sleep in a nice soft bed.
05:58A nice feather pillow.
06:06These beautiful downy covers.
06:14I'm not a starts this guy.estess.
06:17Okay.
06:48The money's shrunk a bit, hasn't it, Warden?
06:53That's the new money.
06:55It's just half the size, and you'll find that it'll just buy half as much.
07:07We all like you here, but I hope you never come back.
07:12Thanks, I won't.
07:14Fifteen years of one cook is enough to cure anybody.
07:18Goodbye, Warden.
07:19Good drive, Newly.
07:45The tradesman's entrance is at the rear.
08:00I wish to see Mrs. Baines, please.
08:03Tell her it's Mr. Boyd.
08:06Boyd.
08:08Very good, sir.
08:09Very good.
08:39I'm going to bring it right there.
08:48Mrs. Bainbridge asked that you wait.
08:51She will see you directly.
09:23She will see you directly.
10:06They told me you would not be free until next week.
10:12I didn't expect you to meet me at the prison gate.
10:16Well, as your wife, I ought to have been there.
10:22Fifteen years.
10:24You might have forgotten that I was your husband.
10:28You haven't even offered to shake hands.
10:46There's a touch of comedy in it, isn't there?
10:50I wonder what your friends would say if you introduced me in my real name, the man who was sentenced
10:57for murder.
10:58Oh, don't.
10:59Don't.
11:01All right.
11:03We'll keep the secret between ourselves.
11:09You've been wonderfully successful, haven't you?
11:14All that I have has been through the medium of your brains, your genius, your inventions, sent to me from,
11:26from...
11:26Prison, and patented in your name.
11:31You've changed your name, didn't you?
11:36Well, you're far away from the old surroundings here.
11:42No one even suspects, do they?
11:47Mother, Judge Thompson is here.
11:50He's asking for you.
11:52Oh, forgive my bursting in like this.
11:55This gentleman is a very old friend of mine.
12:00Mr.
12:01Mr.
12:02Boyd.
12:03My daughter, Dorothy.
12:07Are you a very old friend of mother's?
12:10A very old friend.
12:12I knew your father.
12:15Dorothy, darling, will you please go to the guest?
12:17I'll try and have Mr. Boyd stay with us for a time.
12:19Oh, I hope you'll stay.
12:21I want to ask you all sorts of questions about my father.
12:24He loved you very dearly.
12:27Go.
12:34My daughter is very beautiful.
12:38I've been thinking of her all this time as a little child.
12:43Now she's a fine, beautiful lady.
12:46Oh, it's when I think of her that I realize how great our task is going to be.
12:56What, what are you going to do?
13:00Do?
13:02I don't know yet.
13:05After all, it was for her sake that I went away.
13:10Not for you.
13:11Boyd.
13:12Boyd, if you will only believe what happened that night.
13:16Not now.
13:17Your friends are waiting for you.
13:21Dorothy spoke of Judge Thompson.
13:25He's the one who sentenced me.
13:30He knows.
13:34He's the only one who does.
13:37He's been a true friend.
13:41We'll have plenty to discuss.
13:45Can you put me up for tonight or shall I clear up?
13:48Why, of course you must remain.
13:50I'll have Dean show you to your room.
14:05In the garden of beautiful women, you are the fairest flower of all.
14:11In Paris, Berlin, London, the capitals of the world will bow to your charms.
14:16Your...
14:33Your beauty, your daintiness.
14:41Would there be anything else you would require, sir?
14:44No, thank you.
14:46No, thank you.
14:47I'm sorry.
14:53Leave the door open, please.
14:55I like the music.
15:06Yesterday you were mine, dear.
15:11Well, we lived in a world of dreams, but yesterday has flown away, and now, dear, how empty life seems.
15:29You promised your love ne'er would die, but lonely and blue, here am I.
15:48Forgotten I never thought I'd be, forgotten what will become of me.
16:17Forgotten is every vow you made, forgotten with bitter tears I fail.
16:34Forgotten, although I'll always be, forgotten, although I'll always be, you'll never be forgotten by me.
16:55or I'll always be, forgotten why Bijan.
17:07You aged me in a moment, myØÙ… lived, I'm sorry to be, you know.
17:20Once they've come to me, you know.
17:47I'm sure, my dear Marquis, all you have to do is to ask Dorothy and she will present to be
17:53your wife.
17:54It will give me greater happiness than ever I dreamed of and I have you to thank for it, Doctor.
18:04Doctor, I had an idea.
18:09That is, I...
18:12I wanted to...
18:14Well, you see...
18:19We...
18:20We came out here to...
18:23To, uh...
18:26Paul Wallace, are you trying to propose to me?
18:31How did you know that?
18:32I've been proposed to so often, I know all the symptoms.
18:37Now, my great experience has taught me just the right thing to say to the young lady.
18:41It goes like this.
18:43My darling, sweetheart, inspiration of my life, I adore you, worship you.
18:52Life without you would be a vast darkness.
18:54I need you to life my path of happiness, to inspire me.
19:00I want you to be my wife.
19:09My darling, my sweetheart.
19:15Oh, I can't say that.
19:19All that I can say is...
19:23Well, say it, Paul, so I can say yes.
19:33Oh, if I had any idea it was going to be like this, I'd have said yes long ago.
19:39Ha-ha.
19:39Ha-ha-ha-ha.
19:40Oh, my God.
20:10Friends, I have some wonderful news. I'm so happy I can hardly wait to tell you all.
20:18Paul and I are engaged.
20:30Everything is all right, my dear Marquis. It's just a silly whim, probably her ideal amusing the guest.
20:41Now, if you must kiss him, kiss him like a brother.
21:29You wanted to see me, Peggy, before I went out?
21:32Yes. This foolish engagement must be ended immediately.
21:38Why? I love Paul.
21:40Love. The silly dream of foolish young girls. What do you think love will bring you?
21:46It will bring happiness. That's all I want.
21:49But you know that I have other plans for you.
21:52Plans? You should see the ones Paul has drawn up. The sweetest little breakfast nook and the darlingest nursery.
21:59Nonsense. You will do as I want. You will forget this ridiculous affair.
22:04And marry a title? Make a social conquest to please your vanity? No.
22:10Times have changed. Girls choose their own husbands nowadays.
22:14I tell you, you'll do as I want.
22:16And if I refuse?
22:17I'll wreck Paul Wallace. I'll ruin his future. I was sorry for him. And I let him have the use
22:25of my patents to start him in business. I'll withdraw my patents. I'll make a failure of him. A laughing
22:33stock.
22:34Do that, Mother. And I'll stick by him just the same.
22:40Good morning, Mr. Boyd. Mother and I were just having a little discussion.
22:48You're such an old friend of Mother's. Tell her what you'd do if you had a daughter who was very
22:54much in love.
22:57But above everything else, I would want her to be happy.
23:01There. You see, Mother?
23:05Goodbye. Goodbye, Mr. Boyd.
23:20You've changed. You've become cold and vain and mercenary. In the old days...
23:28I've forgotten the old days.
23:31Have you?
23:33I might recall them if you tried to interfere with her happiness.
23:45I don't believe you would sacrifice your success in society by forcing me to speak.
24:08I must get more in tune with these surroundings. My clothes are decidedly shabby.
24:36I've become quite a dashing figure in the last few weeks.
24:41Judge Thompson is downstairs. I thought perhaps you wouldn't care to meet him.
24:49Nothing could keep me from meeting Judge Thompson again, under these conditions.
24:55Oh, you delight in torturing me?
25:03Come. We mustn't keep the judge waiting.
25:05Come. We mustn't keep the judge waiting.
25:32Mr. Boyd, this is Paul, the man I'm going to marry.
25:36I'm glad to meet you.
25:38How do you do, sir?
25:40I see you've made someone very happy.
25:43And I'm glad. Very glad for you both.
25:46Thank you, Mr. Boyd.
25:52Mr. Boyd, Judge Thompson.
26:00Judge Thompson, it's been many years since I've had the honor of meeting so distinguished a jurist.
26:08Well, I...
26:10I hardly know what to say to that.
26:13Mr. Boyd?
26:20I'd like to have a talk with you, Boyd.
26:23Alone.
26:31In the library?
26:33You'll excuse us a moment, Mrs. Bainbridge?
26:36Why, surely.
26:46No.
27:02In the library?
27:06No.
27:07No.
27:08But the only thing on the library, I'll never see the rest when I go to this place.
27:09Well, no.
27:09Yes.
27:13No.
27:14Well, no.
27:15No.
27:15happiness and contentment in a new life that that that i have no place in is that what you're trying
27:24to say that i ought to clear out and leave them i suppose that's what it amounts to

38:13oh
38:59There he is. He did it.
39:01Now, wait a minute.
39:03I had nothing to do with that, officer.
39:04Why, I was in there talking to the judge.
39:06I didn't know anything about it.
39:07Well, you better come down and tell the captain.
39:08But I tell you, I don't know.
39:10Why don't you listen to me just a minute?
39:11I didn't have anything to do with it.
39:13I was just going out the hall.
39:14I tell you, he...
39:15I don't know.
39:28I'm still going out the hall.
39:32I'm still going out the hall.
39:44Oh, Garthens, this is the people you gave.
39:51Oh, Garthens.
40:04Well, we'll go right ahead.
40:07It'll please me fine.
40:08It's every mile you made, forgotten.
40:15It is, hey.
40:19Oh, Garthens.
40:22Oh, well, always be.
40:27You'll never be forgotten by me.
40:39Bill, I'm going to let you in on a job down on the island.
40:43It's okay for tonight.
40:46Now you're talking, Shorty.
40:48I'm about ready to go, Bill.
40:50Say, I have no gas.
40:53You got an extra one?
40:54I'll get you a machine gun if you wanted, Shorty.
41:01Here you are.
41:03Thanks.
41:06Stick them up.
41:10Shorty.
41:11Shorty.
41:12Shorty.
41:12You got an innocent man for the murder you committed tonight.
41:16And we are going to clear him.
41:19Wait a minute, Shorty.
41:21What's the idea of sticking me up this way?
41:24He sent you up to me.
41:25You ought to be glad he got his.
41:27Stay where you are.
41:43What did you do?
41:44You've got a great deal.
41:48He ended up катering himself.
41:52He's not going to be a 씨가, his friend.
41:52He's staying when I'm a son.
41:53I don't want him.
41:53I don't want him to be trapped.
41:55You'll go.
41:55I don't want him.
42:07He'll be married.
42:08do it for. I tell you I didn't do it. I didn't do it. The servant said he heard you
42:13threaten
42:14Judge Thompson. You can't deny that. Yes. I want him to keep quiet about something. When
42:22he wouldn't, you shut him up for good, huh? Why were you in Judge Thompson's house? He
42:31come on. Why were you there? Every time we get him to this spot, he shuts up.
42:50Frankly, our case is very weak. His absolute refusal to explain, even to me, his counsel,
42:58why he was at Judge Thompson's home that night, makes his defense an almost hopeless task.
43:10By any chance, Mrs. Bainbridge, do you know his reason for this attitude?
43:21If you would explain, you might save his life.
43:26I cannot. To tell what passed between them would seal Paul's fate beyond all hope. It
43:35might even appear as a motive for the crime.
43:42But you will save him. You must save him.
43:50Nothing we can do will be left undone, Mrs. Bainbridge.
43:57Good day.
43:58Good day.
44:14Mother.
44:17Then it is you who are paying for Paul's defense.
44:23And, and I've been filled with so many bitter thoughts.
44:30Mother dear.
44:39There's so much to make amends for, dear.
44:42I've been blind.
44:44And now I'm afraid it's too late.
44:47Oh, it isn't, Mother. It isn't.
44:50We'll win yet.
44:51If only we could find some trees of Mr. Boyd.
44:54I know he would help us.
44:57Just a minute, dear.
45:02I know he's ready for somebody.
45:04I know he's my dream.
45:15I know he's never been burned.
45:28Two? I want you to go to see him, dear. The letter came only today.
45:52Will he? It's hard to say yet. He's been in a coma since they brought him in.
45:58Only the last day or so he has started to talk incoherently.
46:04May I sit with him a while?
46:39Oh, my. Bill, that house on the island, I'll need it get.
46:57Stand there, Biffa. He didn't do it. He didn't do it.
47:17Hello, Wallace. Hello, Captain.
47:23Well, they've convicted me. But I still tell you I didn't do it.
47:30Don't let it get you, my boy. You see, we have our duty to perform, too.
47:36Well, you didn't even put up a defense.
47:38Prince. Yes, that's true.
47:45I brought you here because there is someone who wants to see you.
47:50See me?
47:53Really?
47:58Paul.
48:16Any news about the old man?
48:18is charged from the hospital this morning.
48:21Came right back to the city, to his flat.
48:25Jenkins is watching.
48:30Say, Chief, I can't get this case straight.
48:36There's something big being covered up somewhere.
48:40Maybe.
48:42This case isn't closed yet, Morgan.
48:45Morgan, I'm on a lead right now that...
48:48Yeah?
48:53Great girl, Morgan.
48:55Great girl.
48:57Yeah.
49:03Promise, Paul.
49:05You won't lose hope.
49:09I promise, Doc.
49:40I'm looking for Biffa Bill.
49:43Yeah.
49:45You gotta go to South America if you wanna see the Biffa.
50:08Do you believe me now?
50:11Well, my number up in the big house was 1748.
50:17I did 15 years for that other murder.
50:22Confessing a murder doesn't always prove it, Melbourne.
50:26Prove?
50:28Judge Thompson sent me up.
50:31That's reason enough, isn't it?
50:32I hated him.
50:36Oh, I'd have shut up about it, but...
50:39I couldn't let you burn an innocent man.
50:45All right, Melbourne.
50:47We'll take your confession.
50:52Sit down.
51:01But they've convicted Paul.
51:03Why have they arrested you?
51:06Why should he have done it?
51:09He had no grievance against Judge Thompson.
51:12But someone else did.
51:16Whom did he send to prison for life?
51:21Whose home was he seeking to destroy?
51:25Do you mean that you?
51:28I know you didn't.
51:30Who else?
51:31I got away with it, too.
51:33Except for the boy.
51:35He's innocent.
51:37You've given yourself up, and you didn't do it.
51:40I won't let you.
51:42Listen.
51:43When you leave here, I want you to forget me.
51:48Go on keeping the truth from Dorothy, her father.
51:53Let her go on believing that he died years ago.
51:58Because he did.
52:12Say, Bill.
52:13Why didn't you stay away until after they burnt the kid?
52:15It'll only be a few days now.
52:19Shorty was looking for you a couple of weeks ago.
52:21Shut up.
52:22That's over.
52:22Quit talking about it.
52:31You don't have to get so touchy about it.
52:34Anyway, I told him you went to South America.
52:36Did we pull that job tonight?
52:38We are going.
52:40Okay.
52:45You don't have to go.
52:53You don't have to go.
53:12Okay.
53:15Hurry up, let's get you going, the car's waiting.
53:21Put him up.
53:26That's the man.
53:32You're going in, Bipper.
53:34They want to talk to you about the Thompson killing.
53:38What do I know about it?
53:48Let's go.
53:59Smart, ain't you?
54:00Come on, keep moving.
54:36They're gone, the girl's gone too.
54:38Well, call headquarters.
54:40Surround the block.
54:46And there's been no news of Miss Dorothy this morning.
54:49Nothing, madame.
54:55I'll answer it.
55:02Hello.
55:06I'll come at once.
55:35How do you do?
55:36How do you do?
55:38Have you news of my daughter?
55:40Some very important news, Mrs. Bainbridge.
55:43Won't you sit down a moment, please?
56:04What happened?
56:05I was almost frantic with worry.
56:08There, mother.
56:08There's nothing more to worry about.
56:10The police have the guilty man.
56:17I'm so happy that everything's all right.
56:20Dorothy has told me all that you've done.
56:23And I'm very grateful to you.
56:25We'll be happy now, Mother.
56:27Happier than you ever imagined.
56:39Here's that phony confession of yours, Milburn.
56:42I never did think very much of it.
56:48They knew you were an old fraud all the time.
56:51They've caught the one who's really guilty,
56:53and he's confessed the whole thing.
56:57She means she caught him,
56:59and he was trying to take her away.
57:01Brave girl.
57:03And you should all be very proud of her.
57:07I...
57:09I was always sure of you, my child.
57:15I'd say goodbye to a happy family.
57:18Goodbye.
57:22You're not going to leave me again.
57:24Since the day I went to the hospital.
57:27I've known, Father.
57:36Well, why don't you laugh instead of crying?
57:39Here we are, we've found each other.
57:41Be married and everything.
57:43Come on, let's smile and be happy.
57:53You, that's your Farewell.
57:57How incredible that you're all here from you.
57:58Hurry up.
58:00Come on, let's have a good idea.
58:02Is this Rudy, how excellent?
58:03Come on.
58:03You, Tim.
58:03You absolutely doin' that.
