Another of the "Fate and Irony" films from director-writer-producer-actor Hugo Haas but this one has less hair-shirt torment than most of his offerings, although his camera, as usual, lingers provocatively on the contours of the leading lady and, in this case, she is more than well-contoured. Mary Adams works in a tawdry waterfront restaurant where the owner not only maltreats her, he also cheated her father out of a fortune years ago. The owner acquires $25,000 in an illegal transaction, which Mary promptly steals, hides, confesses to and serves a short sentence. Freed, she goes to work in a restaurant owned by Dragomie Damitrod, and when he gets into trouble over a gambling debt, she offers to help him by telling him where the $25,000 is hidden, and will loan him what he needs. But circumstances indicate he has stolen all of the money, so she clouts him on the head, apparently killing him. She then learns he didn't steal the money, digs it up and donates it to an orphanage, and surrenders to the police, where she learns that Damitrod is not dead. All is not lost as she seems to be heading for matrimony with fisherman Johnny, who has been hanging around romancing her at her various jobs between jail stints.

00:15:21Come on.
00:15:22Come on.
00:15:22Come on.
00:15:28Mary, we, Father Benedict, the guards, and myself have been watching you for quite a while.
00:15:33Have I done something wrong?
00:15:34No, not at all.
00:15:36We just wonder what keeps you so cheerful all the time.
00:15:39What's wrong with that?
00:15:40That's quite all right, my child.
00:15:42We're not criticizing you.
00:15:43On the contrary, we appreciate your attitude.
00:15:46Yeah?
00:15:48What I want to know, you seem to like it here.
00:15:52That would be slightly exaggerating, but I take things as they come.
00:15:56What else could I do?
00:16:01You see, I have hopes, and I'm making plans for the future.
00:16:05Well, just last night I did a little figuring,
00:16:07and instead of counting the days I have behind me,
00:16:09I figured out that I have 1,508 days left to go.
00:16:14That includes a leap year in 1956.
00:16:17We want to do something for you, Mary.
00:16:18Mary, do you have any particular wish, any special work you'd like to do?
00:16:22Maybe working in the library or in the kitchen?
00:16:25You mean I can choose?
00:16:29Are you on the level?
00:16:33I wonder if I could work in the garden by any chance.
00:16:36As the gardener's helper?
00:16:40I think that can be arranged.
00:17:08It's pretty hot.
00:17:10It sure is.
00:17:13Look how the young oak trees are growing.
00:17:16Isn't it a joy?
00:17:17It's been about seven months now, hasn't it?
00:17:20They'll be big and strong.
00:17:24How long does it take?
00:17:25Oh, two or three years.
00:17:28I'll still be here.
00:17:29I'll see them.
00:17:30How much longer do you have to serve?
00:17:321,072 days.
00:17:34It's going nicely.
00:17:35Say, somebody was telling me you've got a lot of money hidden somewhere.
00:17:38You're pretty smart.
00:17:41Maybe I'm not so smart.
00:17:42All that money just lying there, no interest, no dividends.
00:17:45How much?
00:17:4725 grand.
00:17:48Say, you're a rich girl.
00:17:51What are you going to do with all the dough?
00:17:53Oh, I don't know.
00:17:54I change my plans every day.
00:17:56It's a gardener who'll be booming when I get out.
00:17:59I want...
00:18:00I don't know.
00:18:01I want so many things.
00:18:03It'll take a lot of thinking before I get the right idea.
00:18:06But you can bet it'll be the right idea.
00:18:09Well, let's get going.
00:18:10Here, hold this a minute.
00:18:16Let's get it.
00:18:26Look at that.
00:18:28Would you believe it?
00:18:30That fell out of the wall.
00:18:33Such a funny thing, nature.
00:18:35See, when the young trees are growing, the roots have such strength, such power.
00:18:40They push away any obstacle.
00:18:43They even push their way out of the prison wall.
00:18:46Isn't that something?
00:18:49Mary, I've been looking for you.
00:18:51The warden wants to see you.
00:18:52What about?
00:18:53I don't know.
00:18:56Mary, we have news for you.
00:18:58We are not sure you're going to like it.
00:19:02Father Benedict and I recommended to the parole board
00:19:05to grant you a probation period for the remainder of your sentence
00:19:08because of your good behavior.
00:19:10We just got the answer.
00:19:12If you keep out of trouble, you're a free person.
00:19:24I'm sorry.
00:19:26It was a little sudden.
00:19:28When do I go?
00:19:30Any time.
00:19:31It's up to you.
00:19:39Happy?
00:19:40You bet.
00:19:41Well, Mary, what are you going to do?
00:19:44Oh, I'm not spying on you.
00:19:47I know you aren't father, but...
00:19:48But?
00:19:50I'm afraid.
00:19:51That's why I turn around all the time.
00:19:53I want to make sure I'm not being followed.
00:19:54Followed?
00:19:55By whom?
00:19:56Gregor's gang or the police.
00:19:57Oh, maybe your own conscience?
00:20:02There's nothing wrong with my conscience.
00:20:06It's none of my business, child,
00:20:08but that money you took is cursed money.
00:20:12Such money never brings luck.
00:20:16Where shall I drop you?
00:20:18Oh, near Hacienda Drive.
00:20:20There's an apartment house there, I remember.
00:20:22I always wanted to live in it.
00:20:23It's inexpensive.
00:20:25I hope it's still there.
00:20:26So you intend to return the place of your...
00:20:28Crime?
00:20:30Sure.
00:20:31I have some unfinished business here.
00:20:33And then I want to go away and start a new life.
00:21:05Where is the home?
00:21:11Oh, my God.
00:21:41They want to get my dough.
00:21:45I can wait.
00:22:17Wow.
00:22:23Hey, that was nice. Do it again.
00:22:31Looking for somebody?
00:22:35Yeah. Wasn't there a little joint around here? I mean, a restaurant a couple years ago.
00:22:39Oh, you mean? Sure, that's gone. Condemned. It was full of water rats.
00:22:45And human rats, too.
00:22:47Well, I had a girlfriend working there. Can you tell me what happened to the old man that ran the
00:22:52place?
00:22:52Oh, Gregory. Well, the cops gave him a headache, so he took a powder.
00:22:55They say he's operating somewhere in South America now.
00:23:00Thanks.
00:23:03Got a dish, eh?
00:23:18Want to see the boss?
00:23:23Yeah.
00:23:24You've got to wait a while. After he finishes the hand.
00:23:27Who is it?
00:23:28Okay, go ahead.
00:23:31Boss, a beauty to see you.
00:23:37Come for the job?
00:23:39Yeah, sure. Is it still available?
00:23:41It depends.
00:23:45Got any experience?
00:23:47I've worked as a waitress before.
00:23:49Yeah? Look how you bent the cards. Why did you do it?
00:23:53Where did you work?
00:23:55Various places out of town. Drug stores, drive-ins.
00:24:00Got any recommendations?
00:24:04Just my calluses.
00:24:06That's not enough. A good waitress must have in the first place.
00:24:12Yeah. That's exactly what I mean.
00:24:16Come, sit down.
00:24:18Sit down.
00:24:20Ah, don't play tough. Sit down.
00:24:23What are you going to drink?
00:24:26Nothing, thank you.
00:24:27Nah, don't give me that. What shall I order?
00:24:31Root beer.
00:24:32Oh, she says it with a straight face.
00:24:35Look, that's mine. You deal.
00:24:38Take it.
00:24:39Ah, take it. It's for good luck.
00:24:41Buy yourself a nice dress to impress my customers.
00:24:45You mean I've got the job?
00:24:47Hmm, if we agree on terms, why not?
00:24:49Wait, I'll be right back.
00:24:51Let's go to my office.
00:24:53If everything is all right, then you can start right away.
00:24:57Come, let's go.
00:25:11Wait!
00:25:15If you want that lucky money, I left it on your desk.
00:25:21What are you staring? Can't I have a little privacy?
00:25:29Say, you know you're the first girl who ever dared to slap me?
00:25:33Someone should have done it a long time ago.
00:25:36You've probably met the other type of girl, so maybe it isn't your fault anyway.
00:25:41Wait!
00:25:44What now, spoiled baby?
00:26:05I like you. You're a brave girl.
00:26:10You make a good waitress.
00:26:11And a good bouncer too, huh?
00:26:14Sit down.
00:26:16You've got a job.
00:26:18And if anybody ever dares to touch you, including me, I'll break his neck.
00:26:24You order.
00:26:26Rude beer for everybody.
00:26:28Oh!
00:26:36Hi.
00:26:41Hello, boys.
00:26:43Hey, Bill, mix me Manhattan, will you?
00:26:48I talked to Frank. Says he might let me sing in his club when the girl has a day off.
00:26:52That's good.
00:26:55Oh, darling, please, give me another one.
00:26:57And the cigar, please.
00:27:00Who is she?
00:27:02The new lady in waiting.
00:27:03Ah? Who hired her?
00:27:05Nobody.
00:27:06She bought the place. I'm just working here for her.
00:27:09Cut it out.
00:27:10Where did you find her?
00:27:12Where did I find her?
00:27:16Thank you, darling.
00:27:22Say, what's that?
00:27:23A little fresh air, if you don't mind.
00:27:25I open the window before you all suffocate.
00:27:28Isn't she a darling?
00:27:30I'm afraid so.
00:27:32Ah, don't be jealous. I didn't give her a second thought.
00:27:35Still working on the first, huh?
00:27:38Say, stick to the game. I'm losing money. You're having fun.
00:27:41Who is having fun, you fool? I'm winning again.
00:27:44You deal.
00:27:48How much can I bet?
00:27:50Unlimited. I'll give you a chance.
00:27:54You're Manhattan, honey.
00:27:55Thanks, honey.
00:27:58I'm married.
00:28:01Hello.
00:28:03Yeah?
00:28:04A customer.
00:28:05The kitchen's closed. Only sandwiches.
00:28:11Good evening, sir.
00:28:12What can I do for you?
00:28:14Bring me...
00:28:18Wow.
00:28:30I didn't know you worked here. I never saw you before.
00:28:33I just started.
00:28:34Well, I wish I didn't know. I'm not ashamed.
00:28:36What for?
00:28:39Pretty sharp, huh?
00:28:42What's so interesting over there?
00:28:43Nothing. Just making sure that there's no mischief going out of my place.
00:28:47Since when are you so moral?
00:28:49Well, it's to start someday.
00:28:51The kitchen's closed, but you can have a sandwich.
00:28:54Ah, dear. What did he say?
00:28:56Am I glad to see you again. You know I couldn't forget you?
00:28:59Love on first sight?
00:29:02Well, it saves a lot of time.
00:29:05Baloney or ham?
00:29:08Ham on rye.
00:29:10And a beer.
00:29:12Don't let me wait too long.
00:29:14Hungry?
00:29:17You bet.
00:29:20Friendly for me.
00:29:22I've never seen such luck.
00:29:24For months, he's been winning every hand.
00:29:26Well, you should get used to it by now.
00:29:31I'll do it myself.
00:29:32Hey, Johnny, cut it out. She's my niece.
00:29:35He's just joking.
00:29:39Hey, isn't he a cop?
00:29:41You're crazy.
00:29:42It's Johnny. He's in the fish business.
00:29:44He sells fish to all these places around.
00:29:46Comes here once in a while.
00:29:48Well, he'll be here, day and night.
00:29:50Isn't that good?
00:29:52I mean, for the business.
00:29:53Yeah, sure. Sure, for the business.
00:29:57Thanks.
00:29:58Why's the boss watching?
00:30:00Oh, he sort of plays my protector.
00:30:02He seems to be a nice guy.
00:30:04Yeah, he's all right.
00:30:05Bit stingy, maybe.
00:30:06Except when it comes to gambling, he'll gamble for anything, anytime, any amount.
00:30:10Seems to be lucky. He wins all the time.
00:30:12I'd rather invest my money.
00:30:14Say, what kind of a game are they playing?
00:30:16It's an old balcamese game. Only these foreign characters know it.
00:30:19And how about the gibbetes?
00:30:21They just stare at the money. It fascinates them.
00:30:26Say.
00:30:29I don't know how to say it.
00:30:30Say it with flowers.
00:30:32You work late tonight?
00:30:33Quite late.
00:30:35Anybody waiting for you?
00:30:36Yep.
00:30:38Mary, make me a few sandwiches, please.
00:30:43Trying to keep her busy, eh?
00:30:45Can't I be hungry? What's so unusual about that?
00:30:49Wanna make a monkey out of me?
00:30:50Why should I take all the credit?
00:30:53Now, Smooch, you know you're my only one.
00:31:01You must have tried already and she told you off.
00:31:04Oh, what a clever girl. You know I adore you.
00:31:12You know what you are?
00:31:14No foul language in my place.
00:31:21Good night, Mary.
00:31:23Well, good night.
00:31:24Good night, Bill.
00:31:26Oh, you left some dishes there.
00:31:49I'm sorry, you left some dishes.
00:31:52I'm sorry.
00:31:53Oh, Mary, why don't you go home?
00:31:56I didn't know. I thought that...
00:31:58Oh, go home, sure.
00:31:59Good night.
00:32:02Good night.
00:32:03Good night.
00:32:05Good night, darling.
00:32:07Have nice dreams.
00:32:09And include me.
00:32:11Occasionally.
00:32:46Good night.
00:33:06Oh, I'm sorry.
00:33:07I didn't know it was you.
00:33:08Why didn't you say something?
00:33:09Say something?
00:33:10You didn't give me a chance.
00:33:12Oh, I'm glad it's you.
00:33:15I knew I was a lady killer,
00:33:16but I didn't expect to make such a hit with you.
00:33:20Say, how come...
00:33:21I mean, what are you doing here?
00:33:23Waiting for you.
00:33:24Took a chance.
00:33:27Let's go up and sit and watch the ocean for a while, huh?
00:33:30Oh, gee, you gave me a scare.
00:33:32I can't understand you.
00:33:34What's the matter?
00:33:34You afraid of the streets at night?
00:33:36Maybe I'd better pick you up every night.
00:33:38I won't charge you for it.
00:33:40It's nothing.
00:33:40I'm just a little bit edgy.
00:33:42I'll get over it.
00:33:50I'd like that.
00:33:54I might like that song.
00:33:56Yeah.
00:33:58That's my language.
00:34:01You know, sometimes when I'm out in the open sea,
00:34:02I don't hear anything else for days.
00:34:05That must be wonderful,
00:34:06away from you here alone.
00:34:07It's a bit of an answer, sir.
00:34:12Hey, why don't you come out with me your next day off?
00:34:14You'd love it.
00:34:15Do you go out there for fun, or...
00:34:16I should say.
00:34:17Now, that's my business.
00:34:18I sell fish to all these gents around here.
00:34:21Does it pay?
00:34:23It's a clean business, lots of water.
00:34:26I just got a cranky old boat now,
00:34:28but I put in for a loan,
00:34:30and when I get it, I'm gonna start really big.
00:34:33What loan? What do you mean?
00:34:35Bank loan I applied for.
00:34:36Gonna get new equipment,
00:34:37high-powered motorboat.
00:34:40You know, I can make seven or eight hundred dollars a month,
00:34:43just like that.
00:34:45How much did you...
00:34:46I mean, how much of a loan do you need?
00:34:50You considering financing me?
00:34:52Oh, sure.
00:34:54Just a minute.
00:34:55Here's my contribution.
00:34:58What kind of a joke's this?
00:34:59It's no joke, it's your quarter.
00:35:01You left it on the table.
00:35:03Well...
00:35:03No, wait a minute.
00:35:06I was a customer, you waited on me.
00:35:08It's just a usual thing to leave a tip.
00:35:11I know I'm not angry,
00:35:12but suddenly I felt that I couldn't take it.
00:35:15Not from you.
00:35:16Please take it back.
00:35:22I can only mean that...
00:35:25you consider me more than a customer.
00:35:27No, don't.
00:35:28Why?
00:35:29Somebody else?
00:35:31No, not somebody.
00:35:32Something.
00:35:33I...
00:35:33I can't tell you.
00:35:35I don't want to get involved.
00:35:36Not now.
00:35:37Maybe someday I'll tell you.
00:35:40You know, you lie to me, don't you?
00:35:42You said there was somebody waiting for you.
00:35:45Well, weren't you?
00:35:48I said no.
00:35:56He's nice.
00:35:58His eyes are so eyesy.
00:36:00This boy's so.
00:36:02His fingernails are clean.
00:36:04From all that salt water, I guess.
00:36:07Maybe it isn't a bad idea.
00:36:10Seven to eight hundred dollars a month.
00:36:11The bank.
00:36:14Oh, if I could only get that money.
00:36:17Oh, no.
00:36:18I must wait.
00:36:20I'll wait.
00:36:23I'll wait.
00:36:39I don't know what to do.
00:36:41It's getting late.
00:36:43Yeah, sure, it's getting late.
00:36:45I'm losing my shirt, so you're getting tired, huh?
00:36:48It's only money.
00:36:50Sure, it's only money.
00:36:51As long as it's my money, you don't mind.
00:36:56Double or nothing.
00:36:58What's the difference to you?
00:36:59You have no risk.
00:37:01Come on.
00:37:02It's no use.
00:37:04Whatever you do, it's no use.
00:37:06It's going bad, huh?
00:37:07He's losing like mad.
00:37:09How can he stand it?
00:37:10Well, he's not used to losing.
00:37:12Always lucky.
00:37:13He thinks it can't be otherwise.
00:37:23Look at that.
00:37:24Look at that.
00:37:26The devil must have shuffled the cards.
00:37:28Complete hand.
00:37:2930, 60, 80.
00:37:34You said double or nothing.
00:37:36Where is the money?
00:37:44I hope I'm good for a few grand.
00:37:48Come on.
00:37:49Another game.
00:37:50Double or nothing.
00:37:51Come.
00:37:52Now, look here, Demetro.
00:37:53When you have your lucky hand, you always ask for the money.
00:37:57Yes, but this is my joint.
00:37:59I mean, I can't run away with that.
00:38:01It's not enough security or what?
00:38:03It's like cash.
00:38:04So, come on.
00:38:05Double or nothing.
00:38:06Deal.
00:38:06I have to get up early tomorrow.
00:38:09Oh, be a sport.
00:38:10Come on.
00:38:11You deal.
00:38:11Double or nothing.
00:38:16Well.
00:38:18All right.
00:38:20Mary, why don't you go home?
00:38:23Oh, you deal.
00:38:25And tell Bill not to forget the...
00:38:27I won't cut this time.
00:38:29Maybe it'll be...
00:38:30Tell Bill to...
00:38:31What do I want to say?
00:38:34Oh, I don't know.
00:38:36It was frightful.
00:38:38He looked like a madman.
00:38:40His eyes were bloodshot and his face was red.
00:38:43Oh, I felt sorry for the poor guy.
00:38:47Well, gambling is a gamble.
00:38:49You should know what he's doing.
00:38:51But everybody says how lucky he is in cards.
00:38:54The only sure thing about luck is it can change.
00:38:58Hey, that's not bad what I just said.
00:39:00Oh, you're a great brain.
00:39:03Oh, I wanted to ask you something.
00:39:04That business of yours.
00:39:06I mean, the fish business.
00:39:08Is it very risky?
00:39:09Can you lose your investment?
00:39:11I don't know how.
00:39:12Unless I bring home foul fish every day or people stop eating fish.
00:39:17I guess so.
00:39:18If the bank's willing to give you a loan, it must be.
00:39:22I mean, what is this?
00:39:23Are you trying to kid me or I don't get you?
00:39:26Oh, it was just a thought.
00:39:28You see, I have a girlfriend in my hometown, a widow with a lot of money.
00:39:32And, well, she asked me to look around to see if I could find a good, solid deal.
00:39:36So I thought I'd write to her and tell her about you.
00:39:38Well, thanks, Mary.
00:39:39But if it'd take too much time before...
00:39:42What I mean is, you see, I think the bank loan will come through in two or three weeks.
00:39:47Two or three weeks?
00:39:49Maybe she could have it even sooner.
00:39:50Who knows?
00:39:52You know, you've got eyes like a cat that shine in the darkness.
00:39:59Mary, I'm crazy about you.
00:40:01Wait.
00:40:03Would you go 50-50 if she gives you the money?
00:40:0650-50 on a loan?
00:40:07$5,000?
00:40:08Are you crazy?
00:40:09All I have to do is pay the bank interest around 6%.
00:40:1350-50 my foot.
00:40:16Just for you, I might go 50-50.
00:40:21Maybe even 60-50.
00:40:2460 for whom?
00:40:27For you, of course.
00:40:31Maybe even 70-30.
00:40:3580-20.
00:40:3990-10.
00:40:47What's the deal?
00:41:2060-50.
00:41:2150-50.
00:41:42I'm sorry, Mr. Domitoff, but I left my keys in my apron pocket, and I didn't want to wake up
00:41:46the landlady this late.
00:42:00I'm so sorry, Mr. Domitoff. Is it that bad?
00:42:04Bad? It's finished.
00:42:10It can't be that bad.
00:42:12No. I don't even have the few bucks to pay you. It's gone. Everything is gone. Tomorrow I must clear
00:42:20out.
00:42:21You mean you lost your business?
00:42:24Everything. I lost my business, my liquor license, my policy, my cash. That's not all.
00:42:31What else is there?
00:42:33I signed a bad check. I don't know. I lost even my head. That means jail. I did something like
00:42:41this before. That means jail as sure as I sit here.
00:42:45I don't understand it. You were always so lucky. How could you lose so much at once?
00:42:50I don't know. It started so innocently. 20 bucks a game. I was losing for a while. So what? The
00:42:57gambler must be used to these things.
00:43:01That crook. He looks like the devil. I lost all my cash. Tomorrow's payday, so I wanted to win it
00:43:11back. I started chasing my own money. That's the trouble.
00:43:29Double or nothing. Double or nothing. It's like a nightmare. Double or nothing. Double or nothing.
00:43:34One hundred. Two hundred. Four hundred. Eight. Sixteen. Thirty-two. It mounts. It mounts. It mounts.
00:43:40Now you expect that the luck must turn your way. The luck can't stay with the guy for five and
00:43:45six hours. But no. It stays with him for seven and eight hours.
00:43:50You shuffle the cards. You cut. You don't shuffle. You don't cut. It's all the same. He gets the good
00:43:55cards and you pick up all the trash.
00:43:57Every card you pick up is trash. Trash. Trash. So you lose your head. You bat and bat and feed
00:44:02that monster sitting there like a stone wall.
00:44:07Ah. What's the use? Against bad luck you are helpless.
00:44:18That crook. He's cruel. He'll put me in jail. I'm sure he will.
00:44:35How much is it? I mean the bad check.
00:44:40Five grand.
00:44:43And if you get the money by tomorrow morning, will it save you from jail?
00:44:48Sure, but...
00:44:49Where shall I get it?
00:44:57I'll give you the money.
00:45:02What kind of joke is that?
00:45:05I wouldn't joke with you at a time like this.
00:45:10You are nice to me and I trust you. You help me and I'll help you. And don't ask any
00:45:15questions. Where's there a pencil and a piece of paper?
00:45:23Now look. You know where Jackson Avenue is?
00:45:25Sure.
00:45:26I mean Jackson and Oak Drive.
00:45:27There's a little drug store on the corner.
00:45:29From there you drive three blocks to Rosario Road.
00:45:32Wait, I'll write it down.
00:45:35There's some sort of a dead end, a railroad block with a stop sign.
00:45:39Jan, take the shovel with you. There's one in the garage.
00:45:45What is it? What are you smiling at?
00:45:49Sure, it's you. The girl who robbed old Gregory. I knew I saw your picture somewhere. You were in the
00:45:59papers. Ah, what a girl.
00:46:03Now Mary, don't be silly. You can trust me. I wouldn't give you away. Look, I need you and you
00:46:10need me. You say that to yourself.
00:46:13You will save me from jail and you need somebody to get you the toll.
00:46:19Don't you trust me?
00:46:23Mary.
00:46:26Don't you?
00:46:30Well, as I was saying, there's a railroad block with a stop sign. You step over it and walk uphill
00:46:35to the forest. Now watch. Here's the first tree. Just a little to the left. You pass the first, second,
00:46:41third, fourth, and at the fifth tree you walk inside to the right, up into the forest. And then you
00:46:47start counting again. One, two, three, four, five.
00:46:51The tree's marked. I carved a capital M in it. There you start digging. Just a little to the right
00:46:56as you're standing. Not too deep, about seven or eight inches. And there you'll find the tin box. Don't open
00:47:02it. Bring it to me and I'll give you your share.
00:47:06Oh, stop that monkey business and go.
00:47:29Bye, bye, bye.
00:48:59Zip, what happened to you?
00:49:03Where's the money?
00:49:06You tell me, you sly little fox.
00:49:10Changed your mind.
00:49:12Got cold feet suddenly, huh?
00:49:14Made a fool out of me.
00:49:18You mean you didn't find it?
00:49:20Oh, stop acting.
00:49:22I knew it.
00:49:23I knew it right away that you quickly made up a story with your five trees to the left, five
00:49:28trees to the right.
00:49:30And I idiot believed you.
00:49:35Get out.
00:49:36Get out, I said.
00:49:38Leave me alone.
00:49:48Are you sure you found the right place?
00:49:51You didn't make a mistake?
00:49:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:49:54I made a mistake.
00:49:55I dug in about a dozen of places to make sure.
00:49:58Don't give me that nonsense.
00:50:00Get out.
00:50:28You mean you didn't find it?
00:50:30Maybe you made a mistake.
00:50:32Stop acting and get out.
00:50:35Get out, I said.
00:50:37Cursed money will never bring you luck.
00:50:39I'm sorry, lady, but you simply can't take the law into your own hands.
00:50:43I dug in about a dozen places to make sure.
00:50:46Don't give me that nonsense.
00:50:48Get out.
00:50:50Get out, I said.
00:50:51You didn't find it?
00:50:54You didn't find it.
00:51:09Are you looking for somebody?
00:51:11Yeah.
00:51:13The trouble is I only know her first name.
00:51:16It's Mary.
00:51:16She's a waitress.
00:51:17Oh, yes, I know, but she's sick in bed.
00:51:19What's wrong with her?
00:51:20Well, I don't know.
00:51:22She doesn't say anything, and she doesn't eat for three days now.
00:51:25Well, haven't you called a doctor?
00:51:26She doesn't want anyone.
00:51:27All she wants is to be left alone.
00:51:31Which room is hers?
00:51:33Well, she doesn't want to see anybody.
00:51:35She told me so, and besides, she sleeps a lot, and I don't want to wake her.
00:51:39Look, I'm a friend of hers.
00:51:40I just got back from a fishing trip.
00:51:42I went to that place where she works to see her, but it's closed.
00:51:46Well, maybe she doesn't know that.
00:51:48There's a sign on the door.
00:51:49New management, reopening soon.
00:51:53Look, tell her that Johnny called to see her.
00:51:55You got that?
00:51:56Yes.
00:51:57I got to go now.
00:51:57I'm due back in my boat.
00:52:15Well, what can I do for you, beautiful?
00:52:18Well, I was just wondering.
00:52:20Are you the new owner?
00:52:21No, no.
00:52:21Just the new manager.
00:52:23Oh.
00:52:24Well, you see, I worked here for a few days, and can you tell me what happened to the former
00:52:28owner, Mr. D'Ammitro?
00:52:29I don't get you, honey.
00:52:30It's still his place.
00:52:31He's just a little tired of it, that's all.
00:52:33He wanted to take things easy for a change.
00:52:35Have some fun.
00:52:36I think I've seen you here before.
00:52:38Why'd you quit?
00:52:40Huh?
00:52:41Oh, I was sick for a few days.
00:52:44Well, if you want to see Mr. D'Ammitroff, he moved to that swanky apartment house on
00:52:48Jackson, across from the park.
00:52:50They call it the Shangri-La.
00:52:53He's throwing a big party out there tonight, kind of a housewarming, you know?
00:52:56And he's short on dames.
00:52:57He'd be glad to see you, I know.
00:53:03He'd be glad to see you, Mr. D'Ammitroff.
00:53:04He's a disaster.
00:53:07He's a disaster.
00:53:11He's a disaster.
00:53:22I'll go because of his own, Mr. D'Ammitroff.
00:53:34He's a disaster.
00:54:23That double-crosser.
00:54:25That cheap crook.
00:54:30Mr. Damachar, second floor.
00:54:42Who wants champagne?
00:54:44Who wants French wine?
00:54:45Who wants to import it?
00:54:46Come up, get it.
00:54:54You should try to get plenty together.
00:54:56Come on.
00:54:57Get plenty.
00:55:01Who else?
00:55:02Where's my glass?
00:55:04Do you have a glass there?
00:55:05Oh, wait.
00:55:05I'll try this way.
00:55:07Oh, Papi, now you're going to be sick.
00:55:10Don't worry about me.
00:55:11I...
00:55:11I know what to say.
00:55:16See?
00:55:20Oh, now you see I told you.
00:55:22Come on and sit down.
00:55:23Come on.
00:55:25Come on.
00:55:28Come on.
00:55:30Come on.
00:55:41Now, hold it.
00:55:46Now!
00:55:55Spooch!
00:56:05You're having a good time with my money.
00:56:09For my three years in jail.
00:56:20Spooch!
00:56:22Don't leave me alone. Come.
00:56:24Be right back.
00:56:31Spooch!
00:56:31Spooch!
00:56:33Spooch!
00:56:40Spooch!
00:56:44Spooch!
00:57:12Spooch!
00:57:13Spooch!
00:57:14Spooch!
00:57:15Spooch!
00:57:16Spooch!
00:57:18Spooch!
00:57:19Spooch!
00:57:19Spooch!
00:57:20Spooch!
00:57:21Spooch!
00:57:25Spooch!
00:57:26Spooch!
00:57:27Spooch!
00:57:27Spooch!
00:57:28Spooch!
00:57:30Spooch!
00:57:30Spooch!
00:57:31Spooch!
00:58:39Say you.
00:58:41Do you hear?
00:58:45Mr. Dometrol.
00:58:47Mr. Dometrol.
00:58:48Wake up.
00:58:50You've got to answer some questions.
00:58:54Wake up.
00:59:02Remember me?
00:59:06Remember the little fool that trusted you?
00:59:08Who believed that you were an honest man?
00:59:15Don't sleep.
00:59:17Wake up.
00:59:19What did you do with my money?
00:59:23Give me back my money.
00:59:24What did you do with it?
00:59:30Wake up.
00:59:32I can't breathe.
00:59:33Let me go.
00:59:34Let me go.
00:59:37Let me go.
01:00:06Let me go.
01:00:09Get yourself a rich boyfriend to Eve.
01:00:10Well, that's the best way when he's out and can't remember what he did.
01:00:13Wait.
01:00:15Look.
01:00:25You killed him.
01:00:36I don't care.
01:00:37He had it coming to him.
01:00:39What are you talking about?
01:00:40What did he do to you?
01:00:42I sent him to the place where I had my money hidden.
01:00:45And he came back pretending that he didn't find it.
01:00:48And he had a great time, laughed, and had fun with my money.
01:00:52You fool.
01:00:53That wasn't your dough.
01:00:54I know.
01:00:55I was there when he got it.
01:00:57He was desperate.
01:00:58Wanted to kill himself before going to jail.
01:01:00Then came a fur merchant.
01:01:01The very next morning, a Turk with a lot of moolah.
01:01:04Puffy took a long shot.
01:01:05Started the game without a cent in his pocket.
01:01:07It was like a miracle.
01:01:09He took every hand.
01:01:10Took that Turk for 48 grand just like that.
01:01:13Now that's the truth, you fool.
01:01:15So what are you talking about?
01:01:18I'd better call the police.
01:01:23Hey, wait!
01:01:42You sure?
01:01:46That's all.
01:01:50You'd better call the police.
01:01:51You'd better call the police.
01:01:57Good job.
01:01:58Good job.
01:02:01Good job.
01:02:02Good job.
01:02:12I'm gonna give her a million dollars.
01:02:31Roots. Roots. How was it?
01:02:36What did the old gardener say about the roots?
01:02:40When young trees are growing, their roots have such power they push away every obstacle.
01:03:36What did the old gardener say about the roots?
01:04:02What did the old gardener say about the roots?
01:04:04What did the gardener say about the roots?
01:04:06Yes.

01:10:45Sure, I need to see you.
01:10:46How are you, Mary?
01:10:47Hello, Mr. D'Amichow.
01:10:49How do you feel?
01:10:50Fine.
01:10:51Just fine.
01:10:52You look wonderful.
01:10:54It's a nice dress.
01:10:56$7.50.
01:10:57And you, it looks like $8.50.
01:11:01Cut, huh?
01:11:02What is it?
01:11:03Oh, this here.
01:11:04I played with a kitten.
01:11:06Scratched me.
01:11:08Little beast.
01:11:10Still angry with me?
01:11:12Why should I be angry?
01:11:14Well, I can understand it.
01:11:16I behaved badly.
01:11:17I lost my temper.
01:11:18But you are so right.
01:11:20Why should you trust me, a no-good guy, a gambler?
01:11:25What are you going to do now?
01:11:27I don't know.
01:11:28Well, if you want to work for me, anytime.
01:11:31I'm reopening next Saturday.
01:11:33The place will be newly decorated.
01:11:35Prices will go up, of course.
01:11:38Say, how about working for me as a hostess?
01:11:41That's an idea.
01:11:42That would be wonderful.
01:11:44Oh, you're so nice, Mr. D'Amichow.
01:11:47Some day, should you trust me more, then you can tell me the right place where the money is hidden
01:11:51and I get it for you.
01:11:53No reward, of course.
01:11:54I don't need it now.
01:11:56I'm afraid you'll laugh.
01:11:58I gave the money away.
01:12:00For charity.
01:12:03That's a good one.
01:12:05I told you you would laugh.
01:12:07Mary, so happy to see you well again.
01:12:12Going out on a fishing trip.
01:12:14How about you coming with me?
01:12:16It'll do you good.
01:12:18Oh, come on, be a sport.
01:12:21I got fresh hamburgers, cold beer, a phonograph of beautiful records, and a shawl to put around your shoulders when
01:12:28the wind starts blowing.
01:12:31I love you.
01:12:33What do you think, Mr. D'Amichow?
01:12:35Should I go?
01:12:36Mary!
01:12:37Well, I'd like to say...
01:12:39Come on!
01:12:39What can you expect from him?
01:12:41I have my Cadillac waiting here.
01:12:44We can go somewhere, have a few drinks, go to the races.
01:12:48But I think you're a nice girl.
01:12:50You deserve something more solid, huh?
01:12:53I think you should go.
01:12:56Wait!
01:13:24I'm too generous.
01:13:26I'm too blessed!
01:13:40You are the Merciful, you are the one who is the one who is the one who is the one
01:13:43who is the one who is the one who is.
