00:12:15How do you bring me?
00:12:20Thanks pal for the cooperation

00:12:29That's why I like you, just because you're a woman
00:12:32I'm beginning to make out a few things
00:12:34You're only guessing
00:12:36You haven't a thing to write about
00:12:38Maybe I haven't, but I didn't promise not to get the facts
00:12:41When you get the facts, that's the time to write
00:12:43I don't think you'll get it
00:12:44Don't go sounding off and getting a lot of innocent people in a jam

00:16:02Well, how is Jake improving?
00:16:04Fortunately, there was no fracture.
00:16:06Police were there talking to him this afternoon.
00:16:08Why tell me?
00:16:10Why don't you tell me to mind my own business?
00:16:12Why don't you?
00:16:14You don't mind if I like you and spot your surly nature.
00:16:17Why do I always have to be on the defense?
00:16:24Well, now that you're here, why don't you sit down?
00:16:29Oh, good evening, Miss Gregor. Hello, Mrs. Lane.
00:16:32Come in, gentlemen.
00:16:36Hello, Linda.
00:16:37Hi, dear.
00:16:38Oh. Oh, he's a neighbor.
00:16:41He's a neighbor, and he took care of Lucas.
00:16:42What is your name?
00:16:44Gilbert Page.
00:16:45Doc Page, this is Linda Gregor.
00:16:46Hello, Doc. You gave me a pair for a moment.
00:16:48Sorry.
00:16:49And this is Inspector Torrance, Sergeant Tringle.
00:16:53You should know them.
00:16:54They have something to do with the flat foot brigade.
00:16:59Make yourself comfortable, boys.
00:17:01Sit down, Linda.
00:17:02Well, what's the occasion?
00:17:04I've got no station.
00:17:05It isn't a state to mention you.
00:17:06I've got to say, well, you know, so I thought I'd come along for the ride.
00:17:09We talked to Jake Lucas today.
00:17:10So what?
00:17:12Not a thing.
00:17:13He wouldn't open up.
00:17:14None of them would, no.
00:17:16Listen, Mike, there's something going on, and it doesn't smell like lilacs.
00:17:20All those guys quit in the market.
00:17:23I hear the two fires, and a couple of trucks turn into them and go right straight up in the
00:17:27air.
00:17:28So?
00:17:28So, everybody shuts up like a clam.
00:17:31I ask them questions, and they look at me dumb and innocent like I don't like it.
00:17:38You're just sensitive, Inspector.
00:17:39Oh, inquisitive.
00:17:41Jan, whatever his name is.
00:17:43Hold on.
00:17:44He slipped on the floor and smashed up 20 crates of spinach or something.
00:17:48He's lying.
00:17:49They're all lying.
00:17:51What do you want from Mike, Inspector?
00:17:53I want the truth.
00:17:55I know what you might do.
00:17:57It's always a private fight.
00:17:59Sometimes there's too much at stake for one fellow to carry the load.
00:18:01Now, there's something going on.
00:18:03That definitely is.
00:18:04You got me, Inspector.
00:18:05I wish I knew.
00:18:06It is.
00:18:06Oh, that's what it is.
00:18:09Supposing I would tell you that somebody's trying to bust up the market.
00:18:12That's home in jail.
00:18:13Then what?
00:18:13Do they have approval or do they go after?
00:18:15I don't think you can see it yet.
00:18:17I know I can't.
00:18:18Nobody can.
00:18:18You're a great help, Mike.
00:18:20Both of you.
00:18:21I ought to lock you up with your car.
00:18:23You would if you thought you could get away with it, but you can't.
00:18:25The law demands facts.
00:18:27And truth, Inspector.
00:18:28Follow me.
00:18:29We'd have it if they'd talk.
00:18:31And you're the one to make.
00:18:32I know so.
00:18:33Got all you got to say.
00:18:35That's it.
00:18:41Will I give you a lift, Linda?
00:18:43Oh, thanks, Inspector.
00:18:44I'll be seeing you, Mike.
00:18:54Tough going, huh?
00:18:55Could be tougher.
00:18:57Had a friend?
00:18:59Well, I had one.
00:19:00Okay.
00:19:02Don't throw it up, my friend.
00:19:04That's because you have no polish.
00:19:07Is that bad?
00:19:08Is that good?
00:19:11Are you still here?
00:19:12I pray so.
00:19:13I envy you.
00:19:15Oh, we're old friends.
00:19:17Then I envy you twice.
00:19:18Once for an old friend.
00:19:19The second time for the fright you're putting in.
00:19:21Are you kidding?
00:19:22No, and your job.
00:19:24You've worked and everything connected with it.
00:19:25No, this is a bad either, Doc.
00:19:27Full of glory.
00:19:28It's just a routine.
00:19:29You've been here and there.
00:19:30A piece of you.
00:19:30Patch up a fracture.
00:19:32Find up a few cracked ribs.
00:19:34You, you help them take care of the whole city.
00:19:37You help them to help.
00:19:38Right now.
00:19:39It is an important job.
00:19:40It's best we need them.
00:19:42What are you too far to give me?
00:19:44It's not just waving a flag.
00:19:46Pulling you up and down on a string with a crowd to watch.
00:19:49What you're doing is all unheralded.
00:19:51Nobody's gonna pin a medal on you.
00:19:53You're gonna crack down the subject, aren't you?
00:19:55I don't agree with you, Mark.
00:19:57Your market needs a great deal to think of this thing.
00:20:00I think what you want if I just took the milk away from the children.
00:20:03Maybe I will.
00:20:05What did you say?
00:20:06Me?
00:20:07I didn't say anything.
00:20:08You started this, why don't you go home?
00:20:10Well, if you say I can come back again.
00:20:12All you gotta do is knock and if I answer, come in.
00:20:14Good night, Mike.
00:20:15Good night.
00:20:16Good night, Mr. Gregory.
00:20:17Hello, Doc.
00:20:17Dr. Buckman.
00:20:22What am I thinking about?
00:20:25Oh, that Doc.
00:20:26And you, sticking me up on a pedigree.
00:20:28What do you think I am?
00:20:29I know.
00:20:30I'll keep it a secret.
00:20:31It's embarrassing.
00:20:32Can't you take it?
00:20:33Yes, but I'm not used to it.
00:20:34Now, get.
00:20:36Good night, darling.
00:20:37Good night.
00:20:40Good night.
00:20:40Good night.
00:20:42Morning, Brian.
00:20:43Morning.
00:20:45Oh, Mr. Moore called.
00:20:47What do you want?
00:20:47He said he wanted to see you right away.
00:20:49Let him wait.
00:20:50He's still the boss.
00:20:52I'm the boss.
00:20:53Oh, Mike.
00:20:55All right, I'll go and see you.
00:21:10Dad!
00:21:18I know I planted potatoes here someplace, but I can't find them.
00:21:22Oh, my darling, but don't go on top, you know. You have to dig for them.
00:21:35I guess it isn't done yet.
00:21:42Hello. Hello, Michael.
00:21:46What's it about?
00:21:50We've got here in a hurry.
00:21:51I like to get things over and done with.
00:21:54A police commissioner got here on me last evening.
00:21:58I think it's a regular room that's about the market.
00:22:00Well, it isn't exactly a kindergarten.
00:22:02It's a legitimate enterprise, Michael, and there's no place for brawling.
00:22:06It's your job to put a stop to it.
00:22:07Oh, it doesn't seem simple as that.
00:22:10As an attorney, don't you think it's advisable to hear both sides of the story?
00:22:13There always are two sides, you know.
00:22:15Michael, don't you think you're being a little outspoken?
00:22:17You try around?
00:22:17If you listen, I'll tell you some things you don't know.
00:22:20Some of our old standbys are splitting business.
00:22:23And a lot of the farmers and ferrymen have already folded up.
00:22:27Well, who's fault is that?
00:22:28Somebody's putting the pressure on them, trying to muscle in.
00:22:32Muscle in?
00:22:32Yes.
00:22:33Make the farmers and permission merchants pay for the privilege of doing business.
00:22:37Somebody's trying to organize a racket.
00:22:39That's ridiculous.
00:22:41Well, notify the police.
00:22:43You talked with the commissioner yesterday.
00:22:45When does he start?
00:22:46Well, all I can say, Michael, is that you're running the case.
00:22:49You'll have to put an end to this family.
00:22:51Well, do the best I can, but they're doing nothing against the law.
00:22:55Well, now, how about the attacks on the wholesalers?
00:22:58Simple assault.
00:22:59Any smart lawyer can beat that rat.
00:23:01No, it's strictly legitimate.
00:23:03There's no law that says the farmer here can't charge 50 cents for it.
00:23:07The difference goes into somebody's pocket.
00:23:09Oh, they can't do that.
00:23:11Prices are regulated.
00:23:13Well, I only know this, Michael, and I'm speaking to the syndicate.
00:23:17You'll have to take this matter in hand, or...
00:23:20Well, you'll get a new boy.
00:23:23Well, you see how we're sitting with it?
00:23:26It's just so full of red tape, it looks like a ribbon counter.
00:23:28And I'd tell you to get a new boy right now.
00:23:31I'm sore enough to try and clean out that bunch of chiseling crackers.
00:23:35Michael, you know, sometimes we're afraid you'll talk too much for your own good.
00:23:39Our food may come from the earth, but...
00:23:42Our men should be a little above.
00:23:44I'd rather keep my feet on the ground, safely.
00:23:52Oh.
00:23:54Just a moment, please, will ya?
00:23:58Mr. Lenz, why don't you come here for me?
00:24:05Just like that, huh?
00:24:06I'm Iris Moore.
00:24:07I understand you know something about vegetables.
00:24:09I wish you were wrong.
00:24:11I'm having trouble.
00:24:14Nothing seems to go right.
00:24:20Can you tell me what's wrong?
00:24:23Mm-hmm.
00:24:24You have ants in your plants.
00:24:30They're behind the garden.
00:24:33Let's talk about you.
00:24:35It's a very boring subject.
00:24:38I never heard anyone speak father the way you just did.
00:24:41Maybe I was a little bit rough on him.
00:24:45Don't you ever talk to him like that?
00:24:47Oh, no.
00:24:50You should try it sometime.
00:24:51Most men like spirits.
00:24:53Most men, huh?
00:24:56Well, I guess I'd better be going.
00:24:58Tell your father I couldn't wait any longer.
00:24:59I don't have any more to say to him, really, anyway.
00:25:01Yes, I tell him.
00:25:03Well, so long.
00:25:05Keep your onions straight.
00:25:18I like you.
00:25:22I like you.
00:25:23And I like you.
00:25:27Who says to me?
00:25:29He just left further.
00:25:31Oh.
00:25:32What a way, didn't he?
00:25:33Oh, he said he was sorry to go, and he asked to be excused,
00:25:36but saying that's important work at the office.
00:25:39Honestly, he apologized all over the place.
00:25:41Men apologized all over the place?
00:25:45Well, you're not sure.
00:25:47Yes, Daddy.
00:25:49Honestly.
00:26:16Mr. Lin, feel this.
00:26:18Isn't she beautiful?
00:26:20She is gorgeous.
00:26:21Every night when I go to bed, I dream.
00:26:23And you about who?
00:26:24Your wife?
00:26:25No.
00:26:26My letters.
00:26:27My wife gives me arguments.
00:26:29My kids give me trouble.
00:26:31But my letters, she gives me pleasure.
00:26:34I know just how you feel.
00:26:35I once used to get a terrific bang out of an old tomato I knew.
00:26:38And speaking of tomatoes.
00:26:40What are you doing here?
00:26:41It's about my onions.
00:26:43You told me to keep them straight yesterday.
00:26:45I followed instructions carefully, but you know what happened?
00:26:48Know what?
00:26:49Nothing.
00:26:49That's why I'm here.
00:26:51Mr. Mike, you're spooking her too hard.
00:26:55Don't tell me you're going to be a pest.
00:26:57Hmm?
00:26:57A ladybug.
00:26:58Where's your car?
00:27:00That's it.
00:27:01And that's just where you're going.
00:27:02Oh.
00:27:03Am I that ugly?
00:27:04No.
00:27:05And you know it.
00:27:07Just the same, you're a pest.
00:27:17Get him out of there, Pat.
00:27:19Come on, gun.
00:27:23What happened, Danny?
00:27:24Somebody stole a brick.
00:27:25You see who it was?
00:27:26No, it came too fast.
00:27:27I wasn't expecting it.
00:27:40You've got to get out of here.
00:27:41Haven't I been helping?
00:27:42Sure, you've been swell.
00:27:43But just the same, you've got to get out of here.
00:27:44Beat it.
00:27:46I'll be back again soon.
00:27:48What happened to him?
00:27:49Oh, he'll be all right.
00:27:51Get him in one of the stalls and call a doctor.
00:27:54See you later, Danny.
00:27:57You'll never miss a trick, do you?
00:27:59Nope.
00:27:59Who is she?
00:28:00Oh, I don't know.
00:28:01Some kid wanted a job.
00:28:02She's cute.
00:28:03I've got more important things on my mind.
00:28:06So have I.
00:28:06What's this all about?
00:28:08Oh, just a personal matter.
00:28:10Danny got in an argument with another driver.
00:28:11Mike, if you could lie halfway deeply, I could take it, but you can't.
00:28:15Why don't you lay off?
00:28:17Well, the people have burned.
00:28:18If I lost my job, I have nothing to leave me.
00:28:21I mean, not yet.
00:28:22Look here, Linda.
00:28:22Mike!
00:28:23Mike!
00:28:24I've got to talk to you.
00:28:27You don't want me to.
00:28:28That's the right answer.
00:28:29I guess I'll be running along.
00:28:31What is it?
00:28:31There's been some trouble down at Ryan's Dairy.
00:28:33They've wrecked the refrigeration system.
00:28:35One thing after another.
00:28:36Danny's just been hurt, too.
00:28:38See if we get home all right.
00:28:39I'll be okay, Mike.
00:28:45Mike, I think they ruined everything.
00:28:46They poured some acid in the ammonia.
00:28:48We've been threatened, but I didn't think they'd go through with it.
00:28:51One of us to raise the price of two cents a fork and hand it over.
00:28:54Two cents?
00:28:56Somehow I remember...
00:28:57The trouble started about two days ago.
00:28:59Some of our suppliers hiked the price of cans 50 cents.
00:29:03We paid them.
00:29:04What?
00:29:04No.
00:29:05Those who didn't had their milk dumped.
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:08If I could only get some proof, I could go to Inspector Clark.
00:29:11But first, I've got to get the proof.
00:29:13Brian, what does the shutdown mean?
00:29:16Very little milk for the city.
00:29:19Better get the plant fixed up.
00:29:21Well, when we do, they'll only mess it up again.
00:29:23Two cents a quarter is the important point.
00:29:25Nothing's important except those kids get their milk.
00:29:27Will you stand by me?
00:29:29Well...
00:29:29Now, look, Brian.
00:29:30You and I don't matter.
00:29:32A lot of innocent people are going to take this rap,
00:29:34and I'm not going to let them down for you or anybody else.
00:29:39All right.
00:29:40The price stands.
00:29:42Thanks, Brian.
00:29:43Now all we've got to do is deliver.
00:29:51Hello, Thompson.
00:29:55Where's Johnson going?
00:29:56Just handed me his notice.
00:29:57Here's one from Brown and Carraday, too.
00:30:00Anything else?
00:30:01Moore called.
00:30:01He wants to see you right away.
00:30:02He's at his house.
00:30:05Mike, something's got to be done about this right away.
00:30:07If this keeps up, there won't be any market.
00:30:15Hello, Moore.
00:30:16What's the matter?
00:30:17I'm sure they have bad news for you.
00:30:19My shoulders are broad.
00:30:20I can tell you there's more.
00:30:22They said they could have a meeting this morning, their wedding.
00:30:25The trouble of the dead.
00:30:26They were smashing up that truck and all the other things.
00:30:31What are you getting at?
00:30:33Michael, I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, but I've got to let you go.
00:30:40I argued with him for over two hours, because in spite of all your faults, I still made any other
00:30:44man for the job.
00:30:46You're too many against me.
00:30:49I'm very besung.
00:30:51Believe me, I am.
00:30:54Moore Arnold, you are wrong.
00:30:56You're a regular follow-up.
00:30:59We all have our faults.
00:31:02In the meantime, if I can be of any service...
00:31:06No, no, thanks.
00:31:07But I appreciate it.
00:31:09If you ever need me, call on.
00:31:11I don't forget her.
00:31:14And that's a good effort.
00:31:17Michael.
00:31:21Please call on me some time, sir.
00:31:24I hope this doesn't mean that we still can't be friends.
00:31:27I will miss it.
00:31:29And thanks for sat in the air.
00:31:45What?
00:31:52What are you doing?
00:31:53Moving.
00:31:54Moving.
00:31:55Sit.
00:31:56I get him over there.
00:31:56Fired you?
00:31:57That's right.
00:31:59I'm quitting.
00:32:00Don't be a fool.
00:32:02As far as you're concerned, this is a job.
00:32:04He's got a child to look after.
00:32:05What are you going to do?
00:32:06Nothing.
00:32:07I'll wash my hands and a whole affair.
00:32:09Oh, Mike, you can't do that.
00:32:10Not after all you've done.
00:32:11You can't just do that.
00:32:13I've got a living to make.
00:32:14And I'm going to make it.
00:32:15Oh.
00:32:17But what about the people?
00:32:18What about me?
00:32:19You can take care of yourself, but there are a lot of others who can't.
00:32:22Let them worry about that.
00:32:23You mean let little babies worry?
00:32:25Little kids who need their milk and mothers who need fresh vegetables to feed them?
00:32:28I'll leave that to the humanitarian.
00:32:31I must have been blind.
00:32:34Me running around boosting you to the sky.
00:32:36Mike is this and Mike is that.
00:32:39I'll tell you what you are.
00:32:40You're 100% all right.
00:32:42You're 100% healed.
00:32:45So you're walking out on me, huh?
00:32:47No, I'm not walking out on you.
00:32:49You're walking out on yourself.
00:32:53Mr. Moore, you don't know Mike.
00:32:55He'd rather take the rap any time than give alibis.
00:32:58I'm sure he could get to the bottom of all this.
00:33:01I think so, too.
00:33:02Now, you get the tangible facts and then go straight to the police.
00:33:06Uh, Inspector Torrance, I think his name is.
00:33:09If things turn out as you say, well, uh, many people are happy to talk these all over again, Mr.
00:33:14Lindy.
00:33:15I know Mike went to see a man named Craig, and then there was another one.
00:33:19I think it was Foster.
00:33:20Foster?
00:33:21I'm sure that if the police found these men, it might help clear matters up.
00:33:24Well, you'll get your evidence and then go straight to the police.
00:33:27And he'd get his job back.
00:33:29Yes, I'm not too sorry.
00:33:30We're ever sent home.
00:33:32I won't say anything to Mike just yet.
00:33:34Uh, uh, uh.
00:33:35I don't know.
00:34:06Well, Mike and I are very good friends.
00:34:09Where are you?
00:34:09I don't know.
00:34:11How did you get in?
00:34:12Well, I told the best clerk I was a long-lost cousin.
00:34:15You must have wanted to see him badly enough.
00:34:18Mm-hmm.
00:34:18I bet.
00:34:23Is this late?
00:34:24Not where Mike is concerned.
00:34:26Not where Mike is concerned.
00:34:33My name is Linda Gregory.
00:34:35Didn't I see you at the market?
00:34:38Why, yes.
00:34:39I'm Iris Muller.
00:34:40Mueller?
00:34:41Jeffrey Moore?
00:34:42I heard Mike has resigned, and I wanted to move back.
00:34:45He didn't resign.
00:34:45He was fired.
00:34:49Father?
00:34:51I wouldn't know if Jeffrey is.
00:34:52I wouldn't be quite there.
00:34:54Sorry if I can move.
00:34:56You like Mike, don't you?
00:34:58Mike's the other side of the track.
00:35:00Well, I'll step out of the room.
00:35:02On the contrary.
00:35:03But Mike's just plain soap and water.
00:35:05All this is the maker.
00:35:06Mike and I are an old established firm, do you mind?
00:35:09Not at all.
00:35:10I enjoy a little competition.
00:35:12But there won't be it.
00:35:15Inspector Torrance?
00:35:17This is Bran.
00:35:18Yeah, with Mike Lynn.
00:35:19I think I have some information for you.
00:35:22That's perfect.
00:35:24Now, look, get over here as soon as you can.
00:35:26No, I won't tell him a word.
00:35:29What, 20 minutes?
00:35:30I'll be waiting.
00:35:42God!
00:35:46Well, why would this do?
00:35:48Oh, we all have something in common.
00:35:50You.
00:35:51You two met?
00:35:52Yes, but I don't think she'd make it reflective.
00:35:55Come here.
00:35:57Come in.
00:36:01Must be bank night.
00:36:03Oh, hello, Doc.
00:36:04I hardly knew you without your white overalls.
00:36:06Oh, uh, Miss Moore?
00:36:08It's Dr. Page.
00:36:10Hello, Dr. Page.
00:36:12Hello, Miss Moore.
00:36:14And you know Linda, of course.
00:36:18For the moment I was worried.
00:36:20It was all going well.
00:36:28I'll be right over here.
00:36:32I'll be right over here.
00:36:32What happened?
00:36:33Honey, you can stay here for me, Mike.
00:36:35I've got to go.
00:36:37Yes, yes.
00:36:38You better come along in the evening.
00:36:39Mike, I owe you an apology.
00:36:41I shouldn't have brought up to the office.
00:36:42You haven't?
00:36:43I'd have been disappointed.
00:36:44Come on.
00:36:48Well, it's, uh, looks like I'm mostly screaming.
00:36:52Um, would you like a drink?
00:36:54Yes, please.
00:37:17Well, I said to be over in 20 minutes.
00:37:20He didn't show up.
00:37:21In about a half an hour, I got this phone.
00:37:24They picked him up to the headquarters.
00:37:36Well?
00:37:38Is that Frank?
00:37:39Frank?
00:37:41Frank.
00:37:42Who did it?
00:37:43Hi.
00:37:45Who is?
00:37:46You don't have to talk, Frank.
00:37:48I don't have to talk, Frank.
00:37:50I don't have to talk.
00:37:53I don't have to talk.
00:37:54No, Mike, I'm worried about Francis.
00:38:00I don't want anybody but you.
00:38:04I'll take care of him, too, as well.
00:38:07You keep it.
00:38:10She really loves you.
00:38:12What do you call her?
00:38:14The Francis.
00:38:15The Francis.
00:38:15Let's go.
00:38:45A man.
00:39:03Thanks for the introduction.
00:39:07I'm sorry.
00:39:10I'm sorry.
00:39:11It's time for you.
00:39:12It's time for you.
00:39:15Oh, no.
00:39:17Oh, no.
00:39:19Oh, no.
00:39:19Oh, no.
00:39:19Oh, no.
00:39:20Oh, no.
00:39:20Oh, no.
00:39:34What do we do?
00:39:35I will take this, Kelly.
00:39:38She's a girl.
00:39:43Hee.
00:40:02I'm not looking for you.
00:40:04Oh, no.
00:40:05Oh, no.
00:40:06Oh, no.
00:40:08Oh, no.
00:40:08Oh, no.
00:40:08Oh, no.
00:40:08Oh, no.
00:40:09Oh, no.
00:40:11Mike Lynn is here. He wants to see you.
00:40:14That's interesting. Show him in.
00:40:22You're a stranger, Lynn.
00:40:26Craig, I've been on the wrong side.
00:40:28That's quite an admission coming from you.
00:40:30I have to take quite a beating before I found out.
00:40:33I played the great emancipator. Got a kick in the pants for you.
00:40:37Then I found out it was a cinch to get that extra two cents for a quart of milk.
00:40:41Well, you gave me the idea.
00:40:43You said it wasn't worth that much?
00:40:45I thought I'd show you it was.
00:40:47You did.
00:40:49I know a father that's got a little kid that's just...
00:40:52just that tall.
00:40:56Didn't find any place to buy milk for her.
00:40:58He'd have given $5 a glass.
00:41:01It was all sold out.
00:41:03You're right.
00:41:05The chumps were paid.
00:41:07What are you gonna do about it?
00:41:09I can set up that two cents and we can go from there.
00:41:12The boys at the market are all with me, even though I'm not there any longer.
00:41:16How do I know you're on the level?
00:41:19If I'm not, my life isn't worth two cents.
00:41:23We'll begin on that basis.
00:41:26And as far as we're concerned, I'm Ed Mann.
00:41:30That's all right with me.
00:41:31And we stay within the law.
00:41:34If we make the bullets, they fire us.
00:41:37I'll get your cut fixed up.
00:41:38You'll be plenty satisfied.
00:41:45I'm sure I won't.
00:41:54Is Daddy with you?
00:41:56No, dear. He's going away.
00:41:59When will you come here?
00:42:01Will he?
00:42:02He asked me to take care of him.
00:42:04Daddy's gonna do that?
00:42:06You don't like me.
00:42:08You fooled me.
00:42:10You fooled me.
00:42:11You quit talking like that.
00:42:12Yeah, I'll take it.
00:42:13You'll leave her alone.
00:42:16Well, my, you've been a busy little girl, haven't you?
00:42:19Can I look at your book?
00:42:21Can you read?
00:42:23A little.
00:42:24This is my girlfriend.
00:42:29Why, this is wonderful.
00:42:33Who drew these beautiful pictures?
00:42:35I did.
00:42:40That's the funniest cow I ever saw.
00:42:43That's no cow.
00:42:44Oh, thank God.
00:42:46What is it?
00:42:47A terrible dragon.
00:42:51You never saw a dragon.
00:42:53Oh, yes, I did.
00:42:54Where?
00:42:55Right here.
00:43:02And only you.
00:43:04The buyers of produce can force these prices down.
00:43:07In my opinion, it is criminal.
00:43:09The way they are making you, the taxpayers, carry the burden.
00:43:12Send in your protest.
00:43:13Call in.
00:43:14Do something.
00:43:15Help me to stop this racketeering.
00:43:17This hijacking of your passage.
00:43:19I have taken up this crusade because of my experience.
00:43:22And I want you to benefit through that experience.
00:43:26Without cooperation, we can do nothing.
00:43:28In unity, that is strength.
00:43:29Everything under control?
00:43:30Not quite.
00:43:31Ryan has to go to court for a reason for that two cent of ice and milk.
00:43:34He should be able to do that.
00:43:35He always needs to be kept.
00:43:37Says the opposition's pretty strong.
00:43:38He syndicates against him.
00:43:40Ryan expects Jeffrey Moore to handle the case himself.
00:43:43He's smart.
00:43:44We'll wait.
00:43:45You've done a good job, Mike.
00:43:47Now the next step is to get the produce boys in line.
00:43:49Oh, they're already on the house.
00:43:50There was a farmer over at River.
00:43:52If you had to take a slice, you're lacking.
00:43:53But now he's willing to deliver his lettuce.
00:43:55Well, we'll tell him.
00:43:56Now we'll have the city eating out of our hands.
00:43:58Well, they're neatly put.
00:43:59And no ceiling prices to worry about.
00:44:01That'll keep the government off our trail.
00:44:02What about the trial?
00:44:04Well, you should go with that, don't you think?
00:44:09I wouldn't miss it.
00:44:12Order.
00:44:13Order in the courtroom.
00:44:15Isn't it a fact that you raised the price of milk?
00:44:18Immediately following the accident of your dairy?
00:44:21Yes, sir.
00:44:22But it wasn't because of the accident.
00:44:24You were intimidated, were you not?
00:44:27No, sir.
00:44:29I buy dairy and I run it the soup myself.
00:44:32And how do you account for the sudden raise in your prices?
00:44:36Reduction prices have gone up.
00:44:38I have to pay more to the farmer.
00:44:41Distribution costs have risen over 20%.
00:44:44You know, things aren't as cheap as they used to be.
00:44:47I can't raise my prices.
00:44:48I'll just have to close up.
00:44:52Your witness.
00:44:58As a member of the board, did you approve of this increase?
00:45:03Have the merchants ever asked your police protection?
00:45:07No, sir.
00:45:08Do you suspect they're being intimidated?
00:45:11Well, okay.
00:45:12Just staying.
00:45:14Were your drivers ever threatened?
00:45:16The defense has conclusively proven the rise of the present market.
00:45:22In view of that, I see no reason to sustain the injunction.
00:45:27The added price of two cents a quart has been definitely proven a necessity.
00:45:34Case dismissed.
00:45:57I've got a stinking hunch here at the bottom of this holdup.
00:46:00That's a stupid thing for a cop to say.
00:46:03Especially when you let people get murdered and don't do anything about it.
00:46:05That's because we're up against some pretty low types of human beings.
00:46:09Like you, for instance.
00:46:10You'd come across your own mother if you had one.
00:46:13Take your hand off me.
00:46:14Mike!
00:46:20Sorry, Victor.
00:46:21It's all right.
00:46:24I've all of the orders.
00:46:25I suppose you know what I wanted.
00:46:27I asked for the best.
00:46:29Keeping me happy, huh?
00:46:30I heard what happened.
00:46:32I guess there's no turning back for you now.
00:46:35Not after your little argument with Inspector Torrance.
00:46:38I hate nosy coppers.
00:46:42Fair march man, Lynn.
00:46:44I'd like to watch your step.
00:46:45I'll leave that to you.
00:46:47You clear the way.
00:46:48I won't stumble.
00:46:50I'll tell you this much, Mike.
00:46:53Up to now, we didn't trust you.
00:46:55Why not? I haven't missed a mangle.
00:46:57You're still going to give us a double cross.
00:46:59For after slapping cops around.
00:47:01I imagine we can trust you from here on in.
00:47:04I think the big boss will tell you so himself.
00:47:07I'm not interested one way or the other.
00:47:09The ones I get my cut.
00:47:13Wait, get that way.
00:47:16Well, Mr. Lynn, too much isn't good for the child.
00:47:19For a child?
00:47:20Well, me either.
00:47:22I don't know what I'm doing.
00:47:24Sometimes I wonder.
00:47:26Here I'll take it.
00:47:27There we go.
00:47:29That's easy.
00:47:30I think you learned that I'll be getting this before.
00:47:33I think you're a tight fit.
00:47:34I'm going to.
00:47:36Oof.
00:47:40Remember Uncle Mike?
00:47:42I've got to tell you a story before I go to bed.
00:47:44Oh, no.
00:47:45The last one.
00:47:46I went to sleep.
00:47:47Yes.
00:47:48And I made Occy and my big doll.
00:47:50And did you look funny in lipstick?
00:48:09Oh
00:48:10That's never see me again
00:48:13What do you want
00:48:17What's wrong with the country?
00:48:22That is serious
00:48:23More than you think
00:48:25But what if you find you here in town?
00:48:27You won't go, will you?
00:48:28Oh, I guess not
00:48:29Where are you going to stay?
00:48:31Francis would like me
00:48:32Then Francis would like anybody
00:48:34But this isn't Grand Central Station
00:48:37Oh, alright, alright
00:48:39I guess I'll have to spend the night with Gil
00:48:41Not alright
00:48:42You'll spend most of the evening, you think
00:48:46Well
00:48:47Are you all dressed up for it?
00:48:49Well, come down to the U.S.O.
00:48:51Don't tell me you're going to dance with the boys
00:48:53Oh, I should say no
00:48:56No, they love me doing it
00:48:57And that's the least I can do for the boys in the service
00:49:00More than you ever did for me
00:49:10Savoteur
00:49:10Hello, Mike
00:49:16Hello
00:49:17Mike, if you'll excuse me
00:49:19I think I'll say the next time
00:49:20Alright

00:49:24Thanks
00:49:25Nothing for him
00:49:26He's had too much already

00:54:10See you later.

00:54:24I'll take the responsibility.
00:54:26Mike, you killed Barley. You're flanky.
00:54:31He just won't.
00:54:34He, he hasn't needed Mr. Craig.
00:54:38Craig.
00:54:39Ken Craig?
00:54:40Yes.
00:54:42You don't, don't. It's all my fault.
00:54:44I will. Don't you worry.
00:54:47Good luck.
00:54:48You're not leaving. This is your department.
00:54:52I've got another job. Good luck.
00:54:54Thanks, I'll leave you.
00:55:05Mr. Craig.
00:55:13You're safe, man.
00:55:14Now, don't you cry, darling.
00:55:17Don't you cry?
00:55:25Do you want me to test me with one of them, Larry?
00:55:27I will from now on.
00:55:31We're in the jam, honey.
00:55:32So you stand by.
00:56:50You say it was Graham.
00:56:51I'll cover the house.
00:57:04That'll be all, Henry.
00:57:05I shan't even on that night.
00:57:09Now, Mr. Lynn, I can help you.
00:57:11You're pretty clever, Noah.
00:57:13I lost my job and was very quiet.
00:57:16You know, you shouldn't come and break me to people's houses like this at this time of night.
00:57:22It's upsetting.
00:57:23I'll say.
00:57:24You're ready for a fall.
00:57:25I know now how the whole thing stands.
00:57:29Oh, dear.
00:57:29That's very unfortunate.
00:57:32You have to work?
00:57:36I hate to do this, Lynn, but you give me no alternative.
00:57:41I'll keep up talking.
00:57:42I'm interested in what you have to say.
00:57:44I've got plenty to say.
00:57:46You're pretty smart, Noah.
00:57:47Making that great talk over the radio.
00:57:49You are for the people.
00:57:50Well, I'll say you are.
00:57:52You're for what you can get out of them.
00:57:53Talk about the fifth column.
00:57:54You invented a new one.
00:57:55The sixth column.
00:57:57The food, one of the most important items for our morale.
00:58:00You stand behind the flag, cheating the people.
00:58:02Racketeering babies.
00:58:03They ought to hang you for treason, and they will.
00:58:06Well, you might get me anymore.
00:58:07But you'll never get 130 million people.
00:58:10130 million that hate you and your kind and everything you stand for.
00:58:15Spend it.
00:58:16It's very dramatic.
00:58:19I don't know where you're headed than you.
00:58:23Sixth column, eh?
00:58:26Well, that's a new one.
00:58:28And a good one.
00:58:31Too bad nobody will ever hear about it.
00:58:45What are you doing here?
00:58:46We call it Lynn.
00:58:47Well, where's Worcester?
00:58:48Well, he's looking in, I guess.
00:58:51What happened to him?
00:58:52Oh, Lynn nearly killed us.
00:58:53Made a pass with some gal.
00:58:55Hello, Craig.
00:58:56What's going on?
00:58:57The chief's taking care of him.
00:58:59Well, you better take Graham home and meet me at my place later.
00:59:02I want to take this in personally.
00:59:10It's too bad you didn't stick to your head and work with us instead of against us.
00:59:15Because now I'll have to put you out of the way.
00:59:18If you're here as an attorney, I'll have to figure out a defense.
00:59:21Where?
00:59:22You were in my employ, and I fired you.
00:59:25You hated me and broke in here for revenge.
00:59:28I shot you in self-defense.
00:59:31It's bad publicity, but I have a reputation and a good one.
00:59:35I'll be able to look it down.
00:59:37In the meantime, the sixth column will go on as if nothing had happened.
00:59:40But something did happen.
00:59:42Someone very close to you was hurt tonight.
00:59:45Iris was shot.
00:59:46Iris?
00:59:48That was a rubbish.
00:59:49Iris has got friends in the country.
00:59:51I wish she had been.
00:59:53She was shot trying to save my life.
00:59:55That's right.
00:59:56Greg, how are you?
01:00:00No, I'm not.
01:00:01She told me about you and Craig.
01:00:03She didn't know what she was saying.
01:00:04I didn't.
01:00:05You're finished.
01:00:07You'll pay for the death of Graham.
01:00:09I know enough now to make you all walk that last mile.
01:00:13I'm not lying about Iris.
01:00:16Where is she?
01:00:18Is she dead?
01:00:22No, she'll probably pull through.
01:00:25But when she finds out, her father.
01:00:30The English are an important thing that we've been seeing as now.
01:00:35Iris.
01:01:01You got here first, Mike.
01:01:02I was coming to get you next.
01:01:04This is as far as you go.
01:01:06Poor old fellow.
01:01:07He had a lot to live for.
01:01:08I was listening to his defense.
01:01:10What good will that do you?
01:01:11He figured it all out for me.
01:01:13All except the end.
01:01:14That's why I used my head.
01:01:16He said you hated him.
01:01:17We're coming back for revenge.
01:01:18And he had to shoot you in self-defense.
01:01:19But he was wrong.
01:01:20You shot him.
01:01:22And then committed suicide.
01:01:25How do you like that?
01:01:26You don't frighten me, Craig.
01:01:28My life will be over in a second, but not yours.
01:01:31When they catch up with you, they'll march you up a pipe of stairs.
01:01:34Somebody will put a black foot over your head and you'll cry.
01:01:36You'll beg for mercy.
01:01:38And those last few minutes will seem like a lifetime.
01:01:40Shut up!
01:01:51I killed him then.
01:01:52No, you didn't, Linda.
01:01:53You broke a base.
01:02:26I think I'm about to.
01:02:28I don't think the court's allowed to have it.
01:02:30What's the matter with me?
01:02:32Nothing in memory, but I thought not physically.
01:02:34You see, Francis needs a mother.
01:02:38Well...
01:02:41Do they care what she looks like?
01:02:42No.
01:02:44I've got one right here.
01:02:46Oh, no, you haven't.
01:02:47I don't mind taking care of a child.
01:02:50But I wouldn't marry you if you were the last man in the world.
01:02:59You heard what she said.
01:03:01You won't mind.
01:03:03I will.
01:03:07Can you cook?
01:03:08Can you watch?
01:03:10Angel.
01:03:11Well, what can you do?
01:03:12Love you.
01:03:14You did.
01:03:24I need it.
01:03:25You did.
01:03:26Oh, yeah.
01:03:45I need it.
01:03:46If you hate.
