00:04:04A detective.
00:04:06Thanks.
00:04:07What do you say, Rocky?
00:04:09Well, I had different plans for my first one, but my friend, he looks thirsty.
00:04:14I'm always thirsty.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:33No hard feelings, Rocky.
00:04:34Don't bet any large amounts on that, Gus.
00:04:37Could have been worse.
00:04:38A month ago, you were up for life, and your friend here turns up with your alibi.
00:04:43I gave you that same alibi five years ago.
00:04:44Well, you have to admit it was a little thin.
00:04:46You said you were out meeting with some Marines when the holdup took place.
00:04:49Only the Marines never show up.
00:04:50We landed, only five years late.
00:04:53Sorry to keep you waiting, pal.
00:04:55No, that's all right.
00:04:56I just would have wasted my time having fun anyway.
00:04:59We all got shipped out after that night.
00:05:02I guess you don't remember any of the other boys.
00:05:05I couldn't remember any of your names.
00:05:07And they all got it one way or another.
00:05:09I misplaced a leg somewhere, so...
00:05:12I never heard about the mess you were in until I got back.
00:05:14About a month ago.
00:05:16How did Danny Morgan feel about your getting out?
00:05:19Well, how did he feel?
00:05:20There's no comfort station they run up there.
00:05:22Too bad he couldn't dig up a Marine to alibi him.
00:05:25Look, Gus, if this is just a social get-together, why not skip it?
00:05:28I want to talk to you about the money from the holdup.
00:05:31You should read my pardon that says I didn't have anything to do with the holdup.
00:05:34A hundred thousand dollars, and not a penny if it's ever shown up.
00:05:37Maybe it got inflated right out of existence.
00:05:39I think you might know where that money is.
00:05:41Figure anything you want.
00:05:43I'm a citizen again.
00:05:45I'm going to keep a tail on you, Rocky.
00:05:4724 hours a day.
00:05:48It shouldn't be too tough a job.
00:05:49I'm not going anywhere.
00:05:50When you do, we'll be right with you.
00:05:52Where do you think I might go that would interest you, Gus?
00:05:55You'll make a play for that money.
00:05:57It'll be easier than going to work.
00:06:00If I get you again, Rocky,
00:06:01the Army, Navy and Marines won't be able to help you.
00:06:05You buy nice drinks, mister.
00:06:07But you talk so much.
00:06:08Goodbye, Mr. Long.
00:06:10I'll be seeing you, Rocky.
00:06:11I'll count the hours.
00:06:14Hey, Mac.
00:06:15Two more over here.
00:06:17Let's move.
00:06:32Well, pal.
00:06:33You're now a free man again.
00:06:36Any questions?
00:06:38Just one.
00:06:39Shoot.
00:06:41Who are you?
00:06:44I figured you might be curious about that.
00:06:47You weren't one of the guys I was out with that night.
00:06:50I could have been.
00:06:52I was a Marine.
00:06:53I was here in town that night.
00:06:56But you weren't one of them.
00:06:59No.
00:07:02It's all very simple, pal.
00:07:04I...
00:07:12I heard about your case.
00:07:13Checked up on it in the newspaper files.
00:07:16Found out I fitted your alibi perfectly.
00:07:20You're young.
00:07:21Why did you do it?
00:07:23Occasionally, I always drink too much.
00:07:27You went to a lot of trouble.
00:07:29It wasn't too tough.
00:07:31I wore all my decorations.
00:07:33And I've got plenty.
00:07:35Eventually, you'll get around to telling me why.
00:07:38Not eventually.
00:07:39Right now.
00:07:41You were up for life.
00:07:43It was the hundred thousand bucks kicking around.
00:07:45So I figured you might be grateful if I got you out.
00:07:51You not only picked the wrong horse, you didn't even get the right track.
00:07:55Life could be beautiful with money.
00:07:57Maybe you didn't hear me.
00:07:58I didn't pull that sticker.
00:08:01You'd be an awful big disappointment to me if you didn't.
00:08:04So I'm a big disappointment?
00:08:06You didn't do it.
00:08:09No.
00:08:10But I knew who did.
00:08:14Now I feel better.
00:08:17You know, I think I'm just like that policeman.
00:08:19I think I'll stick around for a while and see what you're up to.
00:08:23Then come on.
00:08:24I want to introduce you to a pretty girl.
00:08:35Nice car.
00:08:36I understand these things cost money now.
00:08:38I traded my left leg for her.
00:08:41Who's this girl we're going to meet?
00:08:42Wife of a friend of mine.
00:08:44Sounds like a dirty trick, but I'm for it.
00:08:46She's Danny's wife, the guy I went to jail with.
00:08:49Is she really pretty?
00:08:50She's out of bounds.
00:08:52I said she was Danny's wife.
00:08:54Glad I never met the guy.
00:08:56Danny's one of my favorite people.
00:08:59Okay, Rocky, I never was one to argue with a criminal all the time.
00:09:28And she has to be the wife of a friend.
00:09:31Run them up, Junior. That's the wrong girl.
00:09:40Hello, fellas.
00:09:42Happy Mother's Day to you, too.
00:09:44I'm Darlene Levine.
00:09:46I'll bet you aren't that, dear.
00:09:47Where can I find the manager?
00:09:49Williams?
00:09:49Oh, he's probably over there in the office.
00:09:52Thanks.
00:09:53You guys are going to live here?
00:09:54Maybe, if you're a good girl and go to church on Sundays.
00:09:58Aren't you the fresh one?
00:09:59Mm-hmm.
00:10:02I sailed across the sea.
00:10:05She ran away from me to meet another man.
00:10:12It was a dirty trick.
00:10:14She got me off.
00:10:15Hey, Godfrey.
00:10:16Where can I find the manager?
00:10:17Who are you talking to?
00:10:19I want to rent a trailer for two.
00:10:20When and how long?
00:10:22Now and I don't know.
00:10:24Ten dollars a week.
00:10:25It'll break our backs, but I think we can swing it.
00:10:28All right.
00:10:29Follow me.
00:10:35Hey, Rocky.
00:10:38I hope you were kidding about us staying here.
00:10:40Only a couple of days. Darlene will keep you confident.
00:10:43I'd rather take her out of all this than move in with her.
00:10:45This is it.
00:10:49Oh, swell.
00:10:50Well, the house is beautiful.
00:10:54What are we? The poor relations?
00:10:56What about some of those places back there?
00:10:58This is all I got left.
00:11:00The water didn't fall down before we got here.
00:11:12Well, the place looks live dead.
00:11:13Yeah, but by what?
00:11:14Take it or leave it. Ten bucks a week.
00:11:16Well, you're a smooth salesman, Mr. Williams.
00:11:18You talked us into it.
00:11:20Be careful how you spend that.
00:11:21It was a present from the taxpayers.
00:11:24Say.
00:11:26Ain't you rocky, Malloy?
00:11:27Well, I guess you could say that.
00:11:29Look, Mr. Malloy.
00:11:30I don't want any trouble in this camp.
00:11:32Then don't start any.
00:11:33You see, I got a nice little set up with lots of transits.
00:11:36We like it.
00:11:36It's quaint.
00:11:39There's no hot water.
00:11:40I suppose you want to shave.
00:11:41We'll ring for you.
00:11:43I think I'll go take care of Darlene.
00:11:45Another man might walk by.
00:11:47Just a week, Mr. Malloy, huh?
00:11:49I don't know.
00:11:50You got a Nancy Morgan living here?
00:11:53Yeah, she lives in Trailer 8.
00:11:55Is she in now?
00:11:56She works across town someplace.
00:11:58What time does she usually get home?
00:11:59In about an hour.
00:12:01No kidding, Mr. Malloy.
00:12:02I don't want to...
00:12:02I got a bag in the car.
00:12:03Go get it, will you?
00:12:17Let's get out of this hot sun into a nice, cool bar.
00:12:20In a few minutes, honey.
00:12:21So it's honey already?
00:12:22I call everybody honey.
00:12:26Darlene, what do you do?
00:12:29Well, I'm sort of a part-time model.
00:12:31Oh.
00:12:32I don't get it, Rocky.
00:12:34Why do you want to fool around with that Nancy Morgan
00:12:36when I've got a lot of friends more cute and more fun?
00:12:38I may call on you for help later.
00:12:40Mmm.
00:12:41I'd like to see me with a hundred thousand hidden away someplace
00:12:44and just getting out of five years in the clink.
00:12:47Wow.
00:12:49You know, alongside one of my friends, that Nancy Morgan's a deep freeze unit.
00:12:53What about that saloon we were going to look up?
00:12:55In a few minutes, honey.
00:12:57Of course, you being her husband's friend helped a lot.
00:12:59I guess it'd be alright if you took her out, wouldn't you say?
00:13:03I'd say you talk too much.
00:13:04Hey, you gonna sit there and let him talk to me like that?
00:13:07Nope.
00:13:08Let's go to some nice, quiet place where we can't hear him.
00:13:11He's got some nerve.
00:13:12Look, you run along and wait for me in the car, huh?
00:13:15I'd still be willing to forgive him for getting called up a girl for him.
00:13:18Run along, darling.
00:13:19Before I fracture your spine.
00:13:21Some funny guy, aren't you?
00:13:27I'm gonna go after that money pretty soon, eh, Rocky?
00:13:30Pretty soon, yep.
00:13:34Don't wait up for me.
00:13:46I don't like it at all, Mr. Malloy.
00:13:48Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I wish I knew what you were talking about.
00:13:50There's been a man in my office asking questions about you.
00:13:53Irish guy, looks like a saint, acts like a thug.
00:13:56That's right. I think he's a cop.
00:13:57I know he is.
00:13:59I've been thinking about things. It's that Mrs. Morgan.
00:14:02She's the wife of the guy who pulled the stick up with you, isn't she?
00:14:04No, she isn't, because we didn't pull any stick up.
00:14:06Well, what I meant?
00:14:07What's bothering you?
00:14:08I don't like the cops hanging around.
00:14:10Well, forget about the cops.
00:14:11They're not interested in any two-bit setup you got here.
00:14:14Well, I don't want any trouble.
00:14:15Look, is my rent paid?
00:14:16Yeah.
00:14:17Don't stop bothering me.
00:14:18I still don't want any trouble.
00:14:19Neither do I, from you or anybody else.
00:14:21Rocky!
00:14:23Hello, Nancy.
00:14:24You better grab me quick before my knees give away.
00:14:27Oh, I'm sorry.
00:14:28I didn't mean to surprise you this way.
00:14:30Oh, that's all right.
00:14:32I knew you'd be here.
00:14:34Let me look at you.
00:14:36No change, same height, same weight.
00:14:37Oh, you look fine.
00:14:39When did you get in?
00:14:39A few hours ago.
00:14:40I moved Mr. Malloy in, Mrs. Morgan.
00:14:42I'm an inner sanctum number 12.
00:14:44I thought we all ought to get together and have a little talk, huh?
00:14:46Goodbye, Mr. Williams.
00:14:50Hungry?
00:14:50Wasn't I always?
00:14:51Yeah.
00:14:52You were lucky to get a place here.
00:14:54Mr. Williams likes couples.
00:14:55Well, you got one.
00:14:56Delong's with me.
00:14:57Oh, the Marine.
00:14:58That's right.
00:14:58Invite him to dinner.
00:14:59We'll put more water in the soup.
00:15:01He's out bar hopping with a gal named, believe it if you can, Darlene LaVonne.
00:15:05When the Marines land, Darlene's always there waiting for them.
00:15:12Hey, this is nice.
00:15:14What a break, Rocky.
00:15:15He's showing up after all this time.
00:15:17It's more than a break.
00:15:18It's more like a miracle.
00:15:20How was Danny?
00:15:21Just fine.
00:15:23He told me to have a drink with you for him.
00:15:24Is he really all right?
00:15:26Nothing wrong with him that getting out wouldn't fix.
00:15:28Hmm.
00:15:29Only six more months.
00:15:31With luck.
00:15:33Did he mind you getting out very much since he had to stay?
00:15:37I couldn't do him any good up there.
00:15:39Maybe I can down here.
00:15:42Oh?
00:15:43How?
00:15:44Well, Darlene proved they were wrong about me.
00:15:47I'm going to prove the same thing about Danny.
00:15:51You're going to try to open up the whole thing again?
00:15:53I'm going to turn it inside out.
00:15:56But that just sounds like more trouble.
00:15:58What more can happen to us?
00:16:00We've had five years yanked out of our lives.
00:16:02That's a long time when you break it up into hours.
00:16:07Why don't you fix us that drink, Rocky?
00:16:08It's in the cupboard.
00:16:10All right.
00:16:11You stop worrying.
00:16:22Remember the day I introduced you to Danny?
00:16:24I was so proud of my girl.
00:16:25I wanted to show her off.
00:16:27That was a long time ago.
00:16:28Twenty centuries.
00:16:30You both deserve a better break than this hangout.
00:16:33You owe your heads the rest of your lives.
00:16:36Rocky.
00:16:37You never told me how you felt after we had that quarrel.
00:16:40Danny and I got married.
00:16:42You don't know how I felt.
00:16:45I crawled away and died for a few weeks.
00:16:48Only for a few weeks?
00:16:51It lasted longer than that with me.
00:16:53But you wouldn't change it now.
00:16:55Of course not.
00:16:58But sometimes I wonder.
00:17:01Don't.
00:17:02Not even sometimes.
00:17:04Rocky, why can't we just forget everything that's happened?
00:17:07Forget?
00:17:08I mean about the prison and you and Danny and the hold-up.
00:17:11Even if you are innocent.
00:17:12Even if I'm innocent.
00:17:14I didn't mean it that way.
00:17:15Of course you did.
00:17:16No, I didn't.
00:17:17It wouldn't make any difference to me if you and Danny were involved.
00:17:20But we weren't.
00:17:21I know you weren't.
00:17:22Oh, Rocky, why do you twist everything I say?
00:17:26Oh, big homecoming.
00:17:28I'm showing you a bad time.
00:17:30Sorry.
00:17:44Looks like Lassie's home.
00:17:46Come along, I'll introduce you.
00:18:08Let's go.
00:18:08Pull up some dust and sit down.
00:18:11You, of course, would be Nancy.
00:18:13Of course.
00:18:15You're out of bounds.
00:18:17Am I?
00:18:18According to my underworld friend.
00:18:20Where's Darlene?
00:18:22I'm very disappointed in Darlene.
00:18:25She turned out to be a part-time model and a full-time pickpocket.
00:18:29We may very well have visitors before long.
00:18:32What happened?
00:18:34We had a great many drinks in this place she knew about.
00:18:37And when she thought I was tight enough, she went for my bankroll.
00:18:40Country boy, city girl.
00:18:41I slapped her wrist.
00:18:43The bartender didn't like that.
00:18:45What about the bartender?
00:18:46I let him have it over the head with a peanut machine.
00:18:49He's resting now.
00:18:50In the emergency hospital.
00:18:52Oh, swell.
00:18:54You better run along.
00:18:55He's right about the visitors.
00:18:56But what about you if the police come?
00:18:58We're old friends.
00:18:59We can always find things to talk about.
00:19:00Oh, Rocky.
00:19:01See you tomorrow.
00:19:03All right.
00:19:04Good night.
00:19:05Good night.
00:19:09Good night.
00:19:10Have you read that book?
00:19:11What to do until the police come?
00:19:13I know all the answers.
00:19:15The bartender gave me a drink that tasted funny.
00:19:18I don't remember anything after that.
00:19:19Give me the keys to your car.
00:19:21You burglars always work at night, don't you?
00:19:23And about ten bucks.
00:19:24Sure, sure.
00:19:25We're partners.
00:19:26You want me to go along?
00:19:28No, thanks.
00:19:30Oh, if you run into Darlene,
00:19:32tell her all is forgiven.
00:19:34Darlene, you go for that bottle an awful lot.
00:19:37You never get to the point where you say things you shouldn't, do you?
00:19:40What milk is to a baby, that is to me.
00:19:42Go commit your crimes with an easy mind.
00:19:45I'll see you later.
00:19:47I sincerely hope so.
00:19:57Where are you going, Rocky?
00:19:58I've got to go see someone.
00:20:00How long have they been here?
00:20:06They just got here.
00:20:09Isn't that a little foolish carrying a gun just the day after you got out?
00:20:12You better go to bed, Nancy.
00:20:14Be careful.
00:20:15I will.
00:20:21Now, uh...
00:20:22You wouldn't be looking for a fellow named DeLong, would you?
00:20:24Yeah, do you know him?
00:20:25A friend of mine.
00:20:26Ex-Marine.
00:20:27He wants to file a complaint with you boys.
00:20:29He wants to file a complaint.
00:20:31That's right.
00:20:31A bartender in some gin mill down the road got him tight, tried to roll him.
00:20:35Works with a dame named Darlene from here, I think.
00:20:39Well, and that's not the way we heard it.
00:20:41The bartender said that DeLong got fresh.
00:20:43Well, of course he'd say that.
00:20:45Why would he tell the truth?
00:20:46Darlene's a good kid.
00:20:47She wouldn't tell a lie.
00:20:48Look, DeLong is carrying quite a role.
00:20:50Anybody who would try to rob a one-legged Marine hero is three kinds of a crumb, wouldn't you think?
00:20:54Yeah, but how do we know?
00:20:56Well, go talk to him.
00:20:57I think the bartender is getting off easy.
00:20:59He ought to pick up his license for running a clip joint.
00:21:01Where is this DeLong?
00:21:02Inside.
00:21:03Come on, I'll show you.
00:21:27Come on.
00:21:29Come on.
00:21:45Come on.
00:21:46Come on.
00:21:4935 cents, please, sir.
00:21:51There's a man following me who want to know where I am.
00:21:54He'll save him a lot of trouble.
00:21:55Tell him Rocky Malloy is in there.
00:21:57After the loss of Migas?
00:21:58That's right.
00:21:58Keep the change.
00:22:00I'll tell him, Mr. Rocky.
00:22:30Come on.
00:22:31Come on.
00:22:33Come on.
00:22:34I haven't seen you around lately.
00:22:35Don't tell me you can't read yet.
00:22:37Just trying to be delicate.
00:22:39Buy yourself a drink.
00:22:41With 10 bucks, I could buy the joint.
00:22:43Not many tips like this around here.
00:22:45I want to surprise Castro.
00:22:47I thought maybe you'd forget how to use that telephone.
00:22:49Sure, Rocky.
00:22:50Sure.
00:22:51I might buy another round of the way down.
00:22:53Fine.
00:22:54Fine.
00:22:56Oh, Rocky.
00:22:58Thanks for the dough.
00:22:59But you shouldn't have bothered.
00:23:01Castro's expecting you anyway.
00:23:04That's all right, Russell.
00:23:04I got that 10 bucks from a typhoid carrier.
00:23:20Nice to see you, Rocky.
00:23:27Yeah, I imagine you've been looking forward to this.
00:23:32It's always nice to see an old friend.
00:23:34Get up from your desk.
00:23:36Sit over there.
00:23:36We can talk better.
00:23:47I've been reading so many detective stories lately.
00:23:49I guess I'm just naturally suspicious.
00:23:51I don't blame you.
00:23:55Imagine you're kind of sore, huh, Rocky?
00:23:56I was planning on taking you to dinner.
00:23:59That's quite a break you're getting, huh?
00:24:01Not for you.
00:24:04When I went up, Castro, I was making $20,000 a year.
00:24:07Five years, that's $100,000.
00:24:09I'm willing to split the difference with you,
00:24:11settle for half.
00:24:13The dollar's only worth 50 cents these days.
00:24:16I'll stand the loss.
00:24:18Why should I, Rocky?
00:24:19Because that was the deal you made when you dreamed up the job.
00:24:22I drive the car, get $50,000.
00:24:24Yeah, but you didn't come in on it.
00:24:26Everybody pretended like I did.
00:24:27The cops, the judge, and a lot of guards up at prison.
00:24:30You told that story to the jury about me propositioning you.
00:24:34Couldn't make it stick then?
00:24:36How can you know?
00:24:36I don't have to make it stick with you.
00:24:38We know different.
00:24:40Besides, I'm not out to prove anything.
00:24:41I'm just here to collect some money.
00:24:43I only got half.
00:24:44Do you want all of my share?
00:24:47That's cheaper than dying.
00:24:55Would you kill me, Rocky?
00:24:58Wouldn't you?
00:25:05I'll tell you what.
00:25:08Why don't I set you up in the new book?
00:25:09Hmm?
00:25:10I just want $10,000 a year for five of the best years of my life.
00:25:16Can I reach in my pocket?
00:25:18Go ahead.
00:25:25That's $500.
00:25:28That's 1%.
00:25:29Put it on a horse called Dragonfly.
00:25:31Let's replace it with another book, huh?
00:25:34Suppose it loses.
00:25:35It won't.
00:25:36It should pay about $8 to $1.
00:25:37That's $4,000.
00:25:39What about the other $46?
00:25:41You know, things have changed around here in the last five years, Rocky.
00:25:45I'm 60% legitimate now.
00:25:48I see.
00:25:50I'm what you might call a pretty big man.
00:25:52Good.
00:25:53Then you won't miss the money so much.
00:25:55You know, big men don't scare easy.
00:25:57Then big men must get popped off pretty regularly.
00:26:01Where do I place the bet?
00:26:03Call me in the morning.
00:26:07Big, legitimate man like you.
00:26:10Still playing with loaded guns.
00:26:15Nice to have me back, huh, Castro?
00:26:38Hey, mister.
00:26:40You owe me two bits for the game.
00:26:58Want to shine, Gus?
00:27:09You, uh, didn't want to recognize me in there, huh?
00:27:12I got a bad reputation.
00:27:14I got to be careful who I'm seen with.
00:27:15You went into a lot of trouble to make sure I know where you were.
00:27:18Why?
00:27:19I want to make your work easy for you.
00:27:20I don't want you to make it too easy.
00:27:23You have some business with Castro?
00:27:25We're thinking about opening up an ice cream parlor together.
00:27:29Look, I'm telling you myself and I want to get some sleep.
00:27:32What are your plans for the rest of the night?
00:27:34Home and mother.
00:27:35Don't cross me up, Rocky.
00:27:37You wouldn't believe it, Gus, but I want you with me wherever I go.
00:27:40I'll try and be there.
00:27:42Good.
00:27:43Uh, pay for my shine too, will you?
00:27:45I'm fresh out of hot money.
00:28:02Yes,viii goodness.
00:28:16How are you doing?
00:28:19However, I'm Nordic.
00:28:19I'm fresh out there.
00:28:21Well, I'm fresh out of quick.
00:28:22We're starting to eat.
00:28:22Do we have to eat some kind of new stuff?
00:28:23There are lots of new things that have infused groomers?
00:28:24We've44.
00:28:24Some kind of fun take you to eat some wheels...
00:28:32Come on.
00:28:59It's me, it's me.
00:29:01What are you doing up?
00:29:02I thought I heard something.
00:29:03What?
00:29:04Something like a shot.
00:29:05Smell it.
00:29:06Huh?
00:29:07Smell the barrel.
00:29:08If it's been fired, you can smell it.
00:29:10Nothing.
00:29:11Remember that.
00:29:12If you decide to call the cops and tell them I've been shooting up the place.
00:29:15Now turn in.
00:29:28Such people you run around with.
00:30:03Oh, my God.
00:30:24Oh, my God.
00:30:47Put that out, will you?
00:30:50Can't sleep, huh?
00:30:52No.
00:30:54I can never sleep after I've been shot at either.
00:31:00Well, one thing's sure.
00:31:02Certainly stirred up plenty of action.
00:31:04You must be getting close to the money.
00:31:06I just took a walk.
00:31:07Saw a few people.
00:31:09Must have liked you.
00:31:10They followed your home.
00:31:12Go to sleep.
00:31:14I had an interesting evening after I got rid of the cops.
00:31:17Good for you.
00:31:18I had a drink with Nancy.
00:31:21And she's stuck on you.
00:31:26You're stuck on her.
00:31:31She's out of bounds, remember?
00:31:34You've got a big problem, boy.
00:31:36Out of bounds.
00:31:37Married your best friend.
00:31:39Yeah, you've got a problem.
00:31:41Shut up and go to sleep.
00:31:44Is the door locked?
00:31:45You can relax.
00:31:47The boogeyman's gone.
00:31:53Good night.
00:31:55Good night.
00:31:57Good night.
00:32:21Did you turn off the shower?
00:32:22I couldn't even turn it on.
00:32:32You're drinking that stuff so early.
00:32:34Listen, doll girl.
00:32:35When you drink as much as I do, you've got to start early.
00:32:39Well, you two made up?
00:32:41Darlene's going to give up pickpocketing and start studying forgery.
00:32:43Aren't you ashamed of yourself, Darlene?
00:32:45I was only going to keep his money for him until he sold it up.
00:32:48That's like tying it up permanently.
00:32:50Can I use your car today?
00:32:51It's just a stock model.
00:32:53No armor on it.
00:32:54How about some coffee, Rocky?
00:32:55Fine.
00:32:56I'll be right in.
00:32:58Your girlfriend, know anything about the shooting last night?
00:33:01Why should she?
00:33:02Just asking.
00:33:04Going to have a little party tonight.
00:33:05Keep yourselves available.
00:33:06That's me, available.
00:33:08There's nothing I like better than a party.
00:33:15Would you like some coffee cake?
00:33:17No, thanks.
00:33:19There was a time when we used to think about having breakfast together every morning.
00:33:22Things go haywire, don't they?
00:33:24They do if you let things happen instead of make them happen.
00:33:26I thought you'd be at work.
00:33:28Not for half hour yet.
00:33:30Rocky, tell me what you're doing.
00:33:32I don't know myself yet.
00:33:34Just probing a few sore spots.
00:33:36And getting shot at.
00:33:37No.
00:33:38Williams gets up early.
00:33:40I don't think they were trying very hard to hit me.
00:33:43Just to scare me off.
00:33:44From what?
00:33:45Where did you go last night?
00:33:47I called on someone who may be able to clear Danny and me.
00:33:50If I play it right.
00:33:51Did you talk to Danny about what you're going to do?
00:33:54As much as I could.
00:33:55I only had about five minutes with him before I left.
00:33:58And what did he say?
00:33:59He's like you.
00:34:00Leave well enough alone.
00:34:02Then why don't you?
00:34:03Well, Danny only got one to ten.
00:34:05I got life.
00:34:06I guess I'm just that much madder than he is.
00:34:09Where are you going today?
00:34:11There was a witness at the trial named Fletcher.
00:34:13I thought maybe I might call on him.
00:34:15I'll go with you.
00:34:16Mm-mm.
00:34:17Why not?
00:34:18Just in case that guy last night wasn't trying to miss,
00:34:21I'd like to keep you out of it.
00:34:23You know, this concerns me a little bit too, Rocky.
00:34:26You're awfully pretty alive.
00:34:27I'd like to keep you that way.
00:34:30Now, drink up.
00:34:31I'll go change clothes and drive you to work.
00:34:33All right.
00:34:34I'll be ready in a few minutes.
00:34:35Next time, make my coffee a little stronger, huh?
00:34:38Oh, yes.
00:34:40I remember.
00:34:49What are you smiling about?
00:34:51It used to annoy you when I moved the mirror.
00:34:54Still does.
00:34:56Funny, I forgot to ask you.
00:34:57What are you doing for a living now?
00:34:59I'm a secretary.
00:35:00When did this happen?
00:35:02Danny went to jail.
00:35:03I had to find a job.
00:35:05I suppose it wasn't too easy to find one after the trial and all.
00:35:09People forget.
00:35:11If you let them.
00:35:12Turn left at the next corner.
00:35:27I'll pay you back for breakfast and dinner tonight.
00:35:30What are you using for money these days?
00:35:32Well, I've got a horse in the third at Burlington that's collateral for a bank loan.
00:35:36Sometimes they break a leg.
00:35:37They got a picture of this one running first before the race even starts.
00:35:42Take care of yourself.
00:36:24Take care of yourself.
00:36:25Take care of yourself.
00:36:28Amen.
00:36:28Oh, my God.
00:36:28Oh, my God.
00:36:32Ah.
00:36:36Amen.
00:36:38Oh, my God.
00:36:40ride, ride, ride, ride around, ride on.
00:37:01I need to go.
00:37:01Fletcher, pardon?
00:37:03I don't need any brushes, but come on in.
00:37:11Mrs. Fletcher?
00:37:13Yes?
00:37:13I'd like to see your husband.
00:37:15Well, that's not very flattering.
00:37:17Would you like some coffee?
00:37:19No, second cup never hurt anybody.
00:37:37Cream and sugar?
00:37:38Black, please.
00:37:41My name is Alice.
00:37:43Mind if I call you Rocky?
00:37:44Why should you?
00:37:45Because that's your name.
00:37:49What do you want with my husband?
00:37:51Get him to admit he was wrong about identifying you?
00:37:53Well, the guy could make a mistake.
00:37:55He's had five years to think it over.
00:37:56I guess you don't know about Arthur.
00:37:58What about Arthur?
00:38:07Arthur's dead.
00:38:09Fletcher, Arthur, 43.
00:38:11Service is Monday, 2 p.m.
00:38:12Little Church of the Roses Memorial Chapel.
00:38:15Cremation follows.
00:38:19Heart attack two years ago.
00:38:21He was 16 years older than me.
00:38:24You seem all cut up about it.
00:38:26He'd have died of shock anyway if he'd known you were getting out.
00:38:36What do you want with Arthur?
00:38:38You're in the clear now.
00:38:39I've still got a good friend doing time on his identification.
00:38:44Tell me, did your husband ever say anything about maybe being mistaken?
00:38:50Arthur wasn't much of a talker.
00:38:52Oh, come on.
00:38:53What difference can it make to you now?
00:38:55None.
00:38:56Particularly since the money's all gone.
00:38:58Money?
00:38:58Arthur came into a small inheritance just about the time of your trial.
00:39:02How small?
00:39:03$5,000.
00:39:05Must have been nice for you.
00:39:06Hmm.
00:39:07He bought me some new clothes.
00:39:09Who left him the money?
00:39:11I never asked him.
00:39:13Would you tell the police about it?
00:39:15And get picked up as an accessory?
00:39:17I can have them check his bank account for that period.
00:39:20The money was left to us in cash.
00:39:22We kept it here and we spent it in cash.
00:39:25I'll deny all this, Rocky.
00:39:27So don't bother trying to involve me.
00:39:30Why did you tell me?
00:39:32You wanted to know.
00:39:34Besides, you look like such a nice man.
00:39:37If I promise not to involve you, will you tell the nice man who gave Arthur the money?
00:39:42Drink your coffee.
00:39:48He's an awfully swell guy still sweating out of prison rap.
00:39:52Look, I'm sorry about the swell guy, but I never was involved in this and I don't intend to start
00:39:56now.
00:39:58Well, thanks anyway.
00:40:02You're not leaving.
00:40:04Just when I thought things were beginning to get interesting.
00:40:06In what way?
00:40:08Well, we don't have to spend the rest of our lives talking about dead husbands and hold-ups.
00:40:13What else could we talk about?
00:40:15Me.
00:40:17Or maybe you don't find that very interesting.
00:40:22Can I use your telephone?
00:40:24Help yourself.
00:40:42Oh, this is Rocky Malloy.
00:40:44Give me Castro, will you?
00:40:48Hello, Castro? You told me to call.
00:40:51Where do I place that bet?
00:40:54Crosley Hotel, cigar stand?
00:40:57I'll be seeing you.
00:41:01Now, where were we?
00:41:03You were on your way out.
00:41:05I thought we were going to sit around and talk about you.
00:41:07Well, we're not.
00:41:08Get out of here.
00:41:10Oh, so my call to Castro didn't sit too well, huh?
00:41:14I said beat it.
00:41:20Someday, Alice, you and I are going to have a nice long talk.
00:41:23And you'll really do some talking.
00:41:24Go on, get out of here.
00:41:27You said that.
00:41:37More death.
00:41:55Leave your father.
00:41:56I said goodbye.
00:41:56Bye.
00:41:57You said goodbye.
00:41:58Bye.
00:41:59Bye.
00:41:59Bye.
00:41:59Bye.
00:42:00Bye.
00:42:15I'll have a pack of those cigarettes, please.
00:42:19I want to see the man.
00:42:21About a horse.
00:42:23What makes you think this is that kind of...
00:42:25I don't think. Castro sent me.
00:42:27Your friend of Castro's?
00:42:29We've met. Maybe you've heard of me. First name's Rocky.
00:42:31I've seen your face.
00:42:33In all the papers, society section.
00:42:35The pictures don't do you justice, Rocky.
00:42:38What horse?
00:42:39Put this on Dragonfly and the third at Burlington.
00:42:41Right there. $500.
00:42:44That's a lot of money to throw away on a very long shot.
00:42:47In case I win, what happens?
00:42:49Do I see you again?
00:42:50No.
00:42:51The delicatessen downstairs asked for Harry.
00:42:54But you can still see me again.
00:42:56Especially if I win.
00:42:57It won't matter.
00:42:58I work here every day.
00:42:59And I live upstairs in room 201.
00:43:03Thanks.
00:43:04We'll see what my nurse says.
00:43:13They're off and running.
00:43:15At the start it's rule 2.
00:43:16Breaking on top.
00:43:17Flying cap is second.
00:43:18Papoose is third.
00:43:20Morningside is fourth.
00:43:21Fast Fury is fifth.
00:43:23Dragonfly and Red Saturn.
00:43:25Down the back stretch it's rule 2.
00:43:26Leading by a length and a half.
00:43:28Morningside is second by a half a length.
00:43:30Papoose on the outside is third by three quarters.
00:43:33Flying cap is fourth by one length.
00:43:35Red Saturn is next by a neck.
00:43:37And Dragonfly is closing ground on the rail.
00:43:40Around the turn it's rule 2.
00:43:41Leading by a half a length.
00:43:42Papoose challenging on the outside is second by three quarters.
00:43:46Morningside is third by one length.
00:43:48Flying cap and Dragonfly.
00:43:50Dragonfly trying to get through on the rail and can't find racing room.
00:43:53He's going to the outside.
00:43:54They're in the stretch and it's rule 2.
00:43:57Leading by a head.
00:43:58Papoose is second by a neck.
00:43:59Morningside is third by three quarters.
00:44:02And now Dragonfly is going to a drive on the outside.
00:44:05Here comes Dragonfly.
00:44:06They're coming down to the wire.
00:44:08And it's Papoose and Dragonfly.
00:44:10It's Papoose by a head and Dragonfly.
00:44:12And it's going to be close.
00:44:13And now it's Dragonfly in Papoose.
00:44:15And it's Dragonfly the winner by a nose.
00:44:18The place is second by three quarters of a length.
00:44:20Rule 2 is third by one length.
00:44:22And Morningside finished fourth.
00:44:25Four grand, huh?
00:44:27Well, I'll credit it to your account.
00:44:39You Harry?
00:44:40No.
00:44:41Wait a minute.
00:44:42I'll get him.
00:44:48Hey, Harry.
00:44:53Five to one and a while you're here.
00:44:56Yep.
00:44:58Same horse.
00:45:00Now that's the way it goes.
00:45:02That horse has really knocked me over today.
00:45:04You wouldn't believe it if I told you this was the biggest loss of my whole career.
00:45:07Really?
00:45:08Great for you guys.
00:45:10So what if a bookie gets hit hard?
00:45:11Big joke.
00:45:12Big joke.
00:45:14Never occurs to you that I got a wife and kids like other people.
00:45:20Well, there goes the two weeks at camp I promised the kids this summer.
00:45:26Four grand.
00:45:27What are you going to do with all that loot?
00:45:29Get an operation so I can play my violin again.
00:45:31Oh, swell.
00:45:32Big joke.
00:45:40Santa Claus, soldier.
00:45:42I was a Marine, not a soldier.
00:45:44For a while then, I began to think you'd gone south with my car.
00:45:47Busy day.
00:45:49Santa bring something for me?
00:45:50Yeah, he did.
00:45:52Here.
00:45:53Read this.
00:45:54Might improve your mind.
00:45:56Does drinking affect your social life?
00:45:59Here's an orchid for Darlene.
00:46:01And I got a little something for you here that might keep her interested in you tonight.
00:46:05Where are we going?
00:46:06Got a big celebration.
00:46:09There.
00:46:12Looks like about a thousand bucks.
00:46:13That should.
00:46:14He must have found the guy who did it.
00:46:16I had a horse working for me today.
00:46:18The horse give you the money to put down on himself?
00:46:22You got a right to know what I'm up to if you want to.
00:46:25I don't.
00:46:28Nancy's been after me all day to talk you out of doing whatever you're doing.
00:46:32Huh?
00:46:33Okay, I've talked.
00:46:35Well, thanks.
00:46:37You know, I don't think Nancy's as worried about you personally as she pretends to be.
00:46:42What do you mean?
00:46:43I mean, I think she's more worried about what you might stir up.
00:46:46You're a pint ahead of schedule.
00:46:47Only the blind can really see.
00:46:50Well, you're only half blind.
00:46:51I'll fix that.
00:46:55You know, I had another friend once who had trouble with that stuff.
00:46:57He found a way to get off of it.
00:47:00How?
00:47:01He quit.
00:47:03Thank you, Billy Sunday.
00:47:05Comb your hair.
00:47:06We'll leave as soon as the girls are ready.
00:47:08Yeah.
00:47:29Good evening, Lieutenant.
00:47:30Social or business?
00:47:32Business.
00:48:02I don't know why they ordered all this food.
00:48:04They're still there.
00:48:05dancing. Maybe they like cold steaks, or maybe they're just working up an appetite. I'd say
00:48:10they were stuck on each other. What difference does it make? Hey, waiter, you better put these
00:48:18steaks back in the oven. Oh, and cancel that strawberry shortcake and bring me a double
00:48:23bourbon. I got a bad tooth. Mighty handsome present, this dress. Mighty handsome girl inside it.
00:48:33This is like old times, Nancy. Except I could never get you to dance. Funny, I like it. No, I
00:48:40must have
00:48:40mellowed. Remember the last time we danced together? At the beach one summer. Summer, I asked you to
00:48:47marry me. Three times. Three times? No wonder I lost out to the other guy. That horse must have paid
00:48:56good
00:48:56odds. Eight to one. Did DeLong tell you I'd talk to him? Yes, but let's relax and have fun tonight.
00:49:07I'm really worried, Rocky. Oh, Nancy, you can't have any fun that way.
00:49:16Well, the marathon dancers are back. Gee, that's a pretty dress.
00:49:19Yes, I look terrible. Good old Darlene. Honest as the day is long.
00:49:28Hello, Rocky. Hiya, Gus. We ought to head without you, if you don't mind.
00:49:31I want to talk a little. Would you like to step outside? Not particularly.
00:49:35All right.
00:49:44If you're trying to bribe me, that'll do it.
00:49:50You spent $265 on clothes today, Rocky. Is that illegal?
00:49:54With these bills, it is. Where'd you get them? I bet some money on a horse.
00:49:57They're part of the Aetna payroll. Got any more?
00:50:17Where's the rest? There's lots more.
00:50:19I told you I made a bet on a horse.
00:50:21If you'd checked me at the dress shop, you should have placed me at the cigar stand.
00:50:25I'm a busy man. I didn't wait for you to come out of Mrs. Fletcher's apartment.
00:50:28What did he go up there for? I could have told your husband was dead.
00:50:33How is Mrs. Fletcher?
00:50:34I think I'll leave.
00:50:35Nancy, you might as well give him yours, too.
00:50:39Are you kidding?
00:50:40Somebody's loaded us up with hot money. It isn't worth a nickel.
00:50:50All right, fingers. Hand it over.
00:50:52Are you kidding?
00:50:53The man wants it. Now.
00:51:01So you bet on a horse, huh?
00:51:04Where'd you get the money to bet with?
00:51:06Castro loaned me $500.
00:51:08Okay, Rocky. Who booked a bet for you?
00:51:10The girl at the cigar stand in the Crosley Hotel.
00:51:12Fine. And who paid you off?
00:51:14A guy named Harry. Delicant test in the same building.
00:51:17All right, let's go check.
00:51:19We'll start with Harry and we're back.
00:51:22I'm sorry, Nancy.
00:51:23You want to stay here, would you like to go home?
00:51:25I don't want to stay here.
00:51:27You kids go on home. I'll be there in about an hour.
00:51:30Don't be too sure.
00:51:31I said an hour.
00:51:45Hey, where's Harry?
00:51:46Harry?
00:51:47Yeah, the guy you dug out of the back room this afternoon.
00:51:49You must be mistaken, mister. There's no Harry here.
00:51:51And there ain't any back room.
00:51:53Oh, give me that.
00:52:00Hey, this isn't funny. Where is he?
00:52:02The guy who paid me off.
00:52:04Paid you off?
00:52:05The guy with a wife and kids who talked and talked.
00:52:08Where is he?
00:52:08Take it easy.
00:52:11Come on.
00:52:22Strike one.
00:52:24Crosley Hotel?
00:52:26Come on.
00:52:41Look, honey, I...
00:52:43Hey, where's the girl who was here earlier today?
00:52:46I don't know what you're talking about. I've been here all day.
00:52:49I was in you and made a $500 bet on a horse.
00:52:52We don't book any bets.
00:52:53It was a very pretty girl here. Where is she?
00:52:55You're sure this is the right place?
00:52:57Oh, this is a gag.
00:52:59She said she lived in 201.
00:53:02All right, let's go see.
00:53:24Yes?
00:53:25Oh, I'm sorry.
00:53:26I expected to find the girl from the cigar stand up here.
00:53:29Oh, you did, did you?
00:53:32Well, I came back from out of town unexpectedly today,
00:53:35so there won't be any party tonight.
00:53:37Now beat it!
00:53:40Strike two.
00:53:49You know, Rocky, I think we'd better get out of my office.
00:53:53All right.
00:54:07Anything for me, Frank?
00:54:08Not a thing, Lieutenant.
00:54:09Get me Louie Castro on the phone.
00:54:11Right, sir.
00:54:19Sit down. This may take a little time.
00:54:22Maybe 20 years.
00:54:23What a prized sucker I am.
00:54:25Were you in on the frame, too?
00:54:27Oh, you smart guys are prized suckers,
00:54:29and I don't have to be too bright to trip you up.
00:54:31All I have to do is watch and wait.
00:54:33Sometimes not so long, either.
00:54:36Yeah?
00:54:36I have Castro for you, Lieutenant.
00:54:38He's in his office.
00:54:39Okay, thanks.
00:54:43Castro?
00:54:44Lieutenant Cobb, a couple of questions.
00:54:46I've got Rocky Malloy down here.
00:54:48He says you told him to bet on a horse last night.
00:54:50Rocky Malloy?
00:54:52Is he in town?
00:54:54Yeah, he says you gave him $500 to bet on a race.
00:54:57Now, would I be donating to Rocky Malloy?
00:55:01He's lying.
00:55:02Hasn't been around.
00:55:04Okay, just checking.
00:55:09Strike three.
00:55:11Bar one.
00:55:14Castro was high and wide,
00:55:15says you were never around there.
00:55:16Well, you can't believe that.
00:55:17You saw me come down from his office.
00:55:19I'm surprised at him slipping like that.
00:55:21That phony bookie was just a plant
00:55:23to get that hot money on me.
00:55:25I wouldn't know.
00:55:27You gonna hold me?
00:55:30No, I don't think I will.
00:55:31I've been waiting for five years
00:55:33for some of that money to show up.
00:55:35Whether you've got it
00:55:36or to scare it into circulation,
00:55:37I don't know yet.
00:55:39As a matter of fact, I don't care.
00:55:40So go on, keep poking around.
00:55:42We'll see what happens.
00:55:44Oh, Clay Pidge and me.
00:55:45Yeah, you're expendable, Rocky.
00:55:50Hey, you've got all my dough.
00:55:52How about some cab fare?
00:55:54Are you gonna pay me back
00:55:55with some more of that hot money?
00:55:56Maybe all of it.
00:55:58All right, there's 20.
00:56:00That's out of my own pocket.
00:56:01Remember, I got a wife
00:56:02and a couple of kids.
00:56:03I haven't met anybody lately
00:56:04who hasn't.
00:56:05There's 20 pounds left behind.
00:56:05He's gonna be fatal,
00:56:20I'm up.
00:56:26I'm up.
00:56:56Are you awake or do you want some more water?
00:57:00All right, don't talk, but you're going to listen real hard.
00:57:04You don't want to stop, do you stupid?
00:57:06I'm out one day and you try to fix it so I'm right back in again.
00:57:11How big does the 50 grand look now?
00:57:14Can I get up?
00:57:15You can't move one inch.
00:57:17I'd love to see a big, legitimate man like you flat on your back.
00:57:22In case you're curious why Cobb didn't hold me, you slipped up, Castro.
00:57:26He followed me to your place last night.
00:57:29Which makes that little lie of yours about not seeing me kind of curious.
00:57:33He's beginning to wonder about a few things.
00:57:34That money's beginning to tie right back to you.
00:57:37Why don't you calm, Tom?
00:57:38Because I don't feel calm.
00:57:40I talked to a woman today who told me about a Mr. Fletcher who was bribed to identify me.
00:57:45You know anything about that?
00:57:47All right, you want the money.
00:57:49Let's make a deal.
00:57:50You got another horse for me?
00:57:52Let me get up.
00:57:54I'll put this right through your skull if you get up before I tell you.
00:57:58I'll get the money for you.
00:58:00I don't want the 50 now.
00:58:01I want all of it.
00:58:02How can I get it all?
00:58:04I've only got half of it.
00:58:05You can use that fertile brain of yours to figure that out.
00:58:08You make one more cute move and see how long you live.
00:58:12I'll have it all by tomorrow morning.
00:58:14You sure will.
00:58:18Now get up.
00:59:1220 bucks.
00:59:12Gee, I can't crack bad.
00:59:14Now come on.
00:59:15We'll get it.
00:59:27He's back.
00:59:29Well, that was a long hour.
00:59:30Got any good money?
00:59:31Yeah, a little.
00:59:32Pay the cab driver.
00:59:34How much?
00:59:35Buck 95.
00:59:37Here's two bucks.
00:59:38Keep the change and don't lose your head.
00:59:46It wasn't a very successful celebration.
00:59:49Well, it doesn't matter.
00:59:52You can take those presents back tomorrow.
00:59:57Nancy, I didn't expect to do what I'm doing without getting in a little trouble.
01:00:00Well, what are you trying to do?
01:00:02Get back to where Danny is?
01:00:04Looks like we're about to have a very tense moment.
01:00:07Look, it's quarter to two.
01:00:09We've got plenty of time to make it to a bar for nightcap.
01:00:11Time doesn't matter.
01:00:13I know a bartender.
01:00:20Keep this for me, will you, pal?
01:00:25You carry the money this time.
01:00:26We'll see if I can steal it from you.
01:00:28Aren't you the comic and insulter?
01:00:30Where are the car keys?
01:00:35If I'm not back by Tuesday, drag the river.
01:00:38Good night.
01:00:49Aren't you taking an awful lot on yourself?
01:00:51Danny asks you not to.
01:00:52I ask you.
01:00:53I'm getting close, Nancy.
01:00:55But one thing you seem to have forgotten.
01:00:56Danny doesn't get out in six months.
01:00:58He merely comes up for parole.
01:01:00Everything you're doing is just going to make it that much harder for him.
01:01:03Believe me, it isn't.
01:01:05I wouldn't take a chance with that.
01:01:07Don't you think that should be up to him?
01:01:09After all, you're already out.
01:01:12I'm too close.
01:01:13I'm not going to quit now.
01:01:15Oh, sure, Rocky.
01:01:16Have it your way.
01:01:17You always have.
01:01:18Rocky's going to help his friends, even if it kills them.
01:01:21You can't really think that.
01:01:22Oh, I'm just sick of the whole thing.
01:01:24I've been living with this hanging over my head for five years.
01:01:27I'm trying to fix it so it'll be easier for you from now.
01:01:29Well, you're not.
01:01:30You're just messing everything up.
01:01:31You've always been stubborn.
01:01:33You make up your mind and nobody can change it.
01:01:35Not even me.
01:01:37You're not.
01:02:06Call an ambulance.
01:02:09You needn't bother for this one. She's dead.
01:02:11Go on, I said. Call an ambulance.
01:02:15He's still alive?
01:02:16Yeah, who are you?
01:02:17Police. I'm tailing you for cops.
01:02:19Well, you did a great job. Where's the guy who did this?
01:02:22Guys. Two of them.
01:02:23My car was headed in the wrong direction.
01:02:25They were out of sight by the time I got the door open.
01:02:27You better leave him alone till the doctor gets here.
01:02:33Rocky, they thought that was you.
01:02:35Of course they did.
01:02:36And me.
01:02:38They just didn't care who they got as long as they got me.
01:02:44Rocky, they thought that was me.
01:02:46Take it easy, dear.
01:02:47Don't go anywhere, Malloy.
01:02:49Cobb will want to see you.
01:02:50I don't want to have to look all around for you.
01:03:04No good, miss.
01:03:06They were after me, got you.
01:03:09Sorry.
01:03:09What's the difference, this or an alcoholic word?
01:03:13How bad's Darlene?
01:03:15As bad as she can get.
01:03:17That's a shame.
01:03:19I was getting awful fond of that little pickpocket.
01:03:21Yeah, I know.
01:03:23Look, Rocky, this thing's getting rough.
01:03:24I think you got your neck out too far.
01:03:26Don't worry about it.
01:03:27Let's forget our whole deal and go fishing or something.
01:03:31Do you like fishing?
01:03:32Used to.
01:03:33At least it's healthy.
01:03:34You sure you don't know who did the shooting?
01:03:36No.
01:03:37By the way, officer, I'd like to talk to Lieutenant Cobb.
01:03:40Oh, tell him.
01:03:41It's about that phony alibi you gave from Malloy here.
01:03:44Cobb knows all about it.
01:03:45He's even discussed it with the DA.
01:03:47I figured.
01:03:49That's not what I want to talk to him about.
01:03:51Tell him that unless he wants me to sue the city,
01:03:53he better do something about getting me a new wooden leg.
01:03:55I'll mention it to him.
01:03:57Yeah.
01:03:58See if he can get it in Naughty Pine.
01:04:00I want it to match my den.
01:04:02Come on, Malloy.
01:04:02Cobb's waiting for you.
01:04:03All right.
01:04:04Rocky.
01:04:05Yeah?
01:04:06I know where we can pick up a couple of fishing poles cheap.
01:04:10Plenty of time.
01:04:11Look, they made a mistake.
01:04:13That doesn't mean they're going to stop trying.
01:04:17For rubbing.
01:04:24Just like the old days, blazing guns and big black limousines.
01:04:30Aren't you indignant and don't you want to call for your attorney?
01:04:33He's on his way.
01:04:35Well, this is murder.
01:04:37Not just a cheesy matter of some hot money, but a dead girl and a shot-up soldier.
01:04:42You know they were after you, of course.
01:04:44Doesn't take an IQ of 150 to figure that.
01:04:48And you, Mrs. Morgan, except for a little mistake, you'd be lying on a slab in a morgue right now.
01:04:53Can you think of any reason why?
01:04:57No.
01:04:58I can't imagine.
01:05:00I'm not asking you to imagine anything.
01:05:02You're alive on a rain check.
01:05:04You'd better start remembering anything that might help me.
01:05:07Where were you last night when someone took a shot at Rocky?
01:05:11I was in bed.
01:05:13Sound asleep, huh?
01:05:15It never even woke you.
01:05:16Lay off for dress.
01:05:16Oh, sure.
01:05:17I don't want to upset anybody.
01:05:19What's a little thing like murder?
01:05:25And you were in your bar having a drink with a couple of friends.
01:05:29That's easy enough to check.
01:05:31Yeah, you'd be awfully sure of that.
01:05:33Yet you were home earlier when Rocky slapped you around a little.
01:05:37That's right.
01:05:38Why did you go back to your bar?
01:05:41I couldn't sleep.
01:05:43I can't hold any of you, but I want you to know my fondest hope is that one of you
01:05:47bumps the other off so I can pick up who's left.
01:05:50Are we through?
01:05:51You are when I say so.
01:05:53Now, just get it through your heads that the pressure's on.
01:05:56I wouldn't give a nickel for your husband's chances before that parole board with all this going on.
01:06:01And I wouldn't give a nickel for your chances with those two apes running around looking for you.
01:06:06For you, I just wouldn't give a nickel.
01:06:08You two can go now.
01:06:09Not you.
01:06:13Oh, Rocky.
01:06:17I'm taking the tail off you.
01:06:19You're on your own now.
01:06:20You picked a swell time to do it.
01:06:22That's what I figured.
01:06:32We'll wait for your attorney.
01:06:37I love to watch them operate.
01:06:51Wait for me, driver.
01:06:53I'll be right back.
01:07:10Don't go.
01:07:10I won't be gone long.
01:07:11Rocky, please don't go.
01:07:13I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you.
01:07:15Nothing's going to happen to me.
01:07:16If I told you, you meant everything in the world to me.
01:07:18Don't talk like that, Nancy.
01:07:20I can't help it.
01:07:20I don't care anymore.
01:07:22Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I'm going to anyway.
01:07:24No, you're not.
01:07:25You're going to stay here and get some sleep, and I'll be back in a little while.
01:07:27Rocky, please.
01:07:28I'll be back.
01:07:55Get in.
01:07:56Let's go to your place.
01:08:20Stop right there.
01:08:33Get up on the desk.
01:08:39Get up there and lie down.
01:08:41Lie down?
01:08:41We seem to talk better when you're flat on your back.
01:08:57You know, there's no use kidding you, Rocky.
01:09:00I've been out to get you.
01:09:02I was kind of a chump to fool around with this at all.
01:09:04Like I told you before, I'm 60% legitimate now.
01:09:09You know, Cobb doesn't have anything on us yet.
01:09:11He's trying to get us to fight it out for it.
01:09:15What are you doing?
01:09:16You ever hear of a game called Russian roulette?
01:09:19It's supposed to show how much nerve you have.
01:09:21Six chamber, one bullet.
01:09:27No, no, no, no.
01:09:28Wait a minute, Rocky.
01:09:31Take it easy, Rocky.
01:09:33Every time I spend this, you've got a five to one chance.
01:09:36That's better odds than you gave my friends last night.
01:09:41Look, Rocky, the money's in the safe underneath this desk.
01:09:45I'm not interested in the money now.
01:09:48Look, Rocky, I'll tell you where the rest of it is.
01:09:51It'll be a cinch for you to pick it up.
01:09:53That was a messy killing, Castro.
01:09:55A pretty little girl isn't so pretty anymore.
01:09:57A one-legged Marine is all shot up just because somebody thought it was me.
01:10:01You'll have $100,000, Rocky.
01:10:03I'll help you get out of the country, huh?
01:10:05You don't get the idea, do you?
01:10:07Well, you cut that out of a minute.
01:10:10Look, you drag me into this thing and you're going to ruin a couple of your very best friends.
01:10:14Like who?
01:10:15If you hadn't been so thick-headed, you'd have seen it a long time ago.
01:10:17Danny pulled that stick up with me.
01:10:19You turned it down, but he didn't.
01:10:21No, it's the truth, Rocky.
01:10:22Danny killed the guard.
01:10:23Richard identified him before I got to him with the five grand.
01:10:26He agreed to frame you and named Danny as an accessory.
01:10:29Who do you think has the other half of the dough?
01:10:31Who?
01:10:32Nancy, his wife.
01:10:33How do you think I knew you were coming to my office the other night?
01:10:36She called and told me you were on your way over packing a gun.
01:10:40Go on.
01:10:41She's been trying to keep your nose out of everything.
01:10:43She even took a shot at you to scare you off.
01:10:45So you tried to kill her along with me.
01:10:47Well, she was shooting off her mouth about Fletcher.
01:10:49You said so yourself.
01:10:51All right, stupid.
01:10:51Pick up the phone and call cop.
01:10:54You're nuts, Rocky.
01:10:56You want to play some more?
01:10:58What am I supposed to tell him?
01:11:00Tell him to get over here.
01:11:01You're going to make a confession.
01:11:08Take it easy with that thing.
01:11:10Look, Rocky, you're stretching your luck.
01:11:30Yeah.
01:11:32Lieutenant Cobb, please.
01:11:34This is Louis Castro.
01:11:36What's the matter, Castro?
01:11:38Hello, Cobb.
01:11:39This is Louis Castro.
01:11:41Get over to my place.
01:11:42I'd like to make a full confession.
01:11:45You in trouble?
01:11:47Yeah.
01:11:48Rocky Malloy's with me here now.
01:11:49He'll be right over.
01:11:53Thanks, Lieutenant.
01:11:57Well, that's that.
01:11:58Now, will you put that thing away?
01:12:01I don't think we're going to play with this anymore.
01:12:05Now that you've called your two boys, let's really call Gus Cobb.
01:12:08I think he'd like to meet them.
01:12:10And do me a favor, Castro, while I'm on the phone.
01:12:12Try to jump me.
01:12:13I'd love nothing better than shooting you right in the belly.
01:12:28Okay.
01:12:47Let's shoot it out.
01:12:47They're all around us. Let's shoot it out.
01:12:58Let me get out of here, will ya?
01:12:59You shouldn't be too anxious to get on there.
01:13:01Boys might think you call them into a trap.
01:13:04Give me a break, Rocky. Let me get out the back door.
01:13:06Your first six months in jail, Castro, are going to be a little rough.
01:13:09You won't be able to sleep much.
01:13:10You'll be wondering what your friends are doing.
01:13:12I'm not going to take this alone.
01:13:13I'll spill everything I know about Danny and the girl.
01:13:15Of course, it won't be as tough on you as it was on me,
01:13:18because you really belong there.
01:13:21This wasn't my idea. I only worked for Castro.
01:13:23I know all that. Give me the key to this joint.
01:13:25I haven't got a key. I'll tell you anything you want to know.
01:13:27Give me your friends, will you?
01:13:28Get him away. You wait for the coroner.
01:13:30The one in the back, wait.
01:13:36You hear that, Castro?
01:13:38That's the heavy foot of the law.
01:13:40Get yourself a good lawyer.
01:13:41If you're lucky, you might get off with life, like I did.
01:13:47The money's in a safe under the desk.
01:13:49Take care of him. Wait a minute, Rocky.
01:13:56I don't suppose you have a permit for this.
01:14:00How much of the money's under the desk?
01:14:02His half.
01:14:03Where's the rest?
01:14:05I don't know.
01:14:08I said I didn't know.
01:14:22Who is it?
01:14:23It's me, Rocky.
01:14:26Oh, Rocky. I'm so glad you're back.
01:14:28I've nearly been out of my mind.
01:14:29Where have you been?
01:14:30Looking for Castro.
01:14:31You found him?
01:14:32I went to his apartment, to his office.
01:14:35He's hiding out somewhere.
01:14:37Or looking for me.
01:14:40You've got to get away from here.
01:14:42Go somewhere where Castro can't find you.
01:14:44I've been thinking about it.
01:14:46Take me with you.
01:14:48Take you?
01:14:48Yes, Rocky, please.
01:14:50Where would we go?
01:14:51Any place. It doesn't matter.
01:14:52We've just got to get away.
01:14:53Well, that isn't so easy.
01:14:55But you can't go without me.
01:14:56I couldn't stand to be alone again.
01:14:58Danny will be out in six months.
01:15:00You can stand six months.
01:15:09I'm not going to wait six months for Danny.
01:15:12If he got out tomorrow, I wouldn't wait.
01:15:14And you know why.
01:15:15No.
01:15:17You tell me why.
01:15:18You're just afraid to admit it.
01:15:21But you know.
01:15:22Take me with you.
01:15:24I haven't got the cab fare to get us to the city limits.
01:15:28I've got some money.
01:15:30You couldn't be making much of that job you're doing.
01:15:33I've got enough to take us as far as we want to go.
01:15:35To the other end of the world.
01:15:36Away from Castro.
01:15:37Away from everything.
01:15:39That's a long way.
01:15:46Not if you've got $50,000.
01:15:50No, not if you've got $50,000.
01:15:53It's in a suitcase in William's basement.
01:15:56In the old house?
01:15:59Oh, I couldn't tell you before.
01:16:00I'm surprised you didn't guess.
01:16:02Danny was in on it.
01:16:03I've had the money all the time.
01:16:05Five years.
01:16:06Oh, I wanted to do something, but I couldn't.
01:16:08The whole trial, you didn't say anything.
01:16:10Lucky, I couldn't.
01:16:12Castro told me if I said anything, I'd be arrested for having the money.
01:16:15You had the money, and I went away for five years.
01:16:17Oh, I didn't want to see you go to prison, but I was afraid.
01:16:20Afraid of Castro.
01:16:21Why didn't you tell me when I got out, Nancy?
01:16:24I don't know.
01:16:25I don't know.
01:16:28Oh, but we can forget all that.
01:16:30It's all worked out now.
01:16:31You're free, and we're back together again.
01:16:33That's all that matters.
01:16:36It's always been you and me, Rocky.
01:16:38You know that.
01:16:40Yeah.
01:16:42It's always been you and me.
01:16:47Darling, what's the matter?
01:16:48You've always been in love with me.
01:16:50You still are, aren't you?
01:16:51I still am.
01:16:53Then you'll get me out of here.
01:16:54I'll get you out.
01:16:55This morning.
01:16:56Can we leave right away?
01:16:57We'll leave right away.
01:16:58Oh, I'll get packed.
01:16:59Sure.
01:17:00You'd better get packed, too.
01:17:01Sure.
01:17:07Darling, we'll have such a wonderful life together.
01:17:36I just came from the hospital.
01:17:39Darling's going to be all right.
01:17:41Thanks.
01:17:43Did you find the rest of the money?
01:17:45Yeah, it's in a suitcase in the basement of the old house.
01:17:48I knew it couldn't be in her trailer.
01:17:50I've had it searched a dozen times.
01:17:52You might as well pick her up.
01:17:53She'll be packed.
01:17:56You feel pretty rotten about it, don't you?
01:17:58How would you feel?
01:18:37How would you feel?
