Subtitles by Seglora

Hi,boys I got you.Why didn't you scram?

Stop and come down

What time is it?

Hello Mrs Kellerson

Hello Tommy

Hang on

-What time is it? -Four o'clock

Ninety four degrees,said I'll win

-Yeah,who says you win? -Wait a minute.Dave Harris 91

-Paul 93 Rich 95 Carney 94 -See,what I had tell you,I win

-Come on pay me -What are you going to buy?

-Gonna save up and buy me a horse -A horse,where are you going to keep it?

-In the bath tub? -I'm going to keep it on our ranch

-Since when have you got a ranch? -Since a while ago

-Where is it? -Way out West

-Where in down South West? -Texas,wherever Tombstone is

Anywhere there is Tombstone

What are you talking about, you haven't got a ranch

You know,it's not really mine,it's my dad's

If your dad got a ranch what are you do living here?

As soon they shoot all the Indians, we're going to move

I was going along today and when I came to the corner

all this men were laying on the street

And then a big truck came along and killed them all

except one and he was a bandit,so I took my gun and shot him,all by myself

How many bandits did you kill today?

Well,I didn't have to use too many bullets,Pop,the heat drew most of them

The heat is good for something

Sure doesn't make you feel like eating

Cold supper is all I can think of in this weather

-I liked it,Mom,tasted kind of like chicken -It was chicken

Sure you don't want some more?

No,I've got some coffee and doughnuts midnight

It's not good for you

You ought to eat something,Pop, can't work on an empty stomach

Working nights is not so good for the appetite

I knew a man that worked at night once,he was a robber

Tommy, that's enough

I'd think we heard enough of robberies for one day

Do you mind if we show the apartment now Mr Woodry?

Show the apartment, what for?

Since you are moving I like to show it as soon as possible

Since when are we moving?

There must be some mistake,Mr Johnston, we are not moving

Yes you are,I heard it from a couple of the tenants

just this afternoon and I dropped these folks..

I'm afraid it has been a mistake, Mr Johnston,we are awfully sorry

Tommy.

At it again

I didn't mean any harm,Mom,honest I didn't

You never mean any harm

But like I told you hundred times someday you are going to get us all in a trouble

What did you say?

It was just some of the kids,we got to talk

and I guess I said we were moving out to a ranch

Tommy,how would you feel if they'd rent the apartment

to those people and put us out on the street?

-I didn't think they'd believe me -You never think so

But you see they do

Why do you want to tell stories like that?

I do not know, Pop,I'm sorry.

If you don't stop,I'm going to have to punish you,you know that,don't you?

Yes,Sir

Go to your room.

Don't worry about it,Ed,you're going to be late for work

Mum

Mum,are you awake?

-What is it,Tommy? -It's so hot

Can I go and sleep on the fire escape?

I suppose so

But be careful

Joe!

What you have to bungle up like that,why didn't you fix his drink

I did ,Joe,but I guess there is something to it

See if there is anyone in the hallway

-I didn't see anybody -Take a look out the window.

Nobody there

Here is his identification papers

He is a mate on a ship

That's good,they disappear easily

Mum!Mum!

What?

-I got something awful to tell you -What is it?

-I just saw a murder. -A murder? Where?

Upstairs at Kellerson.

-They've just stabbed a man -Oh for Goodness Sake

Honest,Mum

Wake me up in the middle of the night like this

But,Mom,I saw the whole..

If you don't stop I'm going to have to take a hairbrush to you

-Please,Mum -Tommy

With all the stories you tell us there is no wonder you have nightmares.

-Nightmares? -Yes, nightmares.

You had a bad dream

You're soaking wet

Go on and back to bed

But, Mum...

Go to sleep like a good boy

Go first and see if anyone is on the roof

It's all right

You stay here

Couldn't have been a nightmare.

My pillow.

-Did you hide him? -Yeah

-Suppose somebody finds him there? -So what,they'll never trace him to us

Up already ?

I could not sleep,Mum, you know why I couldn't

Everybody has nightmares,Tommy, but people don't go around saying they are real

They'd getting into lot of trouble

Honest,Mum

Tommy,we won't hear anymore about it now

If you didn't have a nightmare,then you are making up another story

And what should I say to your father this morning

Remember he doesn't expect it

-Hello,dear -Good Morning.

-Hi,Tom -Good Morning,Pop

-What a nigh you had -It was scorching

I'll have breakfast ready in just a minute

What's the matter with you?

You don't look like you went to bed

Don't think he got very much sleep

Pop

-I got something to tell you -OK,sure

Something terrible happened last night

-You know the Kellerson upstairs? -Yeah,I've seen them coming and going, why?

They killed a man.

Tommy.

Where ever did you get that idea?

I just slept on the fire escape,Pop

But it was so hot and climbed up to Kellerson..

That's how I saw them.

Pop,you got to believe me, someone got to believe me.

He had a nightmare,last night and he is all upset.

It wasn't a nightmare,and I'm not making it up, I saw them!

Tommy,the Kellerson are nice people, they never bother anybody

They just act that way,Mom,so you won't know anything about them

Tommy,how would you like if someone run around

saying your Mum and I killed people?

But they did, I watched them through the window.

Listen

I remember once years ago

when I was about your age,it was a hot night, like last night.

I dreamed that the whole house was on fire.

I woke up screaming and yelling my head off

Mother and Dad came in,it took them quite a while to calm me down

And even after they talked to me

I still couldn't believe that there hadn't been a fire.

They had to let me get up and look around

Now,do you see what I mean?

You see how real dreams can be?

Yes,Pop,I had dreams like that too

You can't expect to go upstairs

and ask the Kellersons if they have killed somebody,can you?

No,they'd run away

Come on now and sit down and have some breakfast, you'll feel better

I am not hungry,Pop,not a bit

Maybe it'd better go and rest a while until you feel like eating

Pop

If you see a thing with your own eyes,it can't be a dream,can it?

You don't want me to be ever ashamed of you,do you?

No, Pop

Don't you see that might happen if you keep this up?

People gonna say:

"Ed Woodry's son does not know

the difference between what is real and what isn't"

They might even say you're a liar.

But,Pop ...

Look,Tommy

I have got a lot of nice things planned for you when you grow up.

And I want you to live up to it by being honest now

A father wants to be proud of his son,Tommy

There is nothing that would give more pleasure

than be walking down the street someday and have somebody say

"There goes Tommy Woodry's father".

But if you got to get all mixed up the way you are now

I do not know what we we are going to do

I'm sorry, Pop

I am very tired,Tommy, I'm going to get some rest

I want you to stay in your room today

And think over what I told you very carefully

I'll talk again before I go to work tonight

I do not know what's the matter with him

Tommy,you know your father has to work hard for us, don't you?

Yes, Mum.

And he can't work,when he is upset

I know.

Then why don't you try to help us by behaving yourself

Mum,Pop don't want to lie, does he?

Of course not

If I said it wasn't true about the Kellerson

that it was all a lie,then I'll be doing

What Pop doesn't want me to do

I'll be lying.

If someone had really murdered, somebody,liked you say

Then the police would know about it, that's their business,Tommy

-That's right,Mom,that is their business -Certainly

Now I will call your Pop before he goes to work

And you can tell him that everything you said about the Kellerson wasn't so

No, Mum,don't

Because that would be lying and Pop do not want me to lie

We are both too easy on you,Tommy

Don't get mad at me,Mum

Now you'll going to stay in this room,and I mean without your lunch or your dinner

Until you decide to give in,and let your father and me have some peace

Pardon me,Sir

I want to report a murder I saw last night

-If that's's so,look,what's your name? -Tommy Woodry.

-I went out to the fire escape last night.. -Hold on,hold on

-What's your address? -225 Bolt Street

I went to our fire escape last night and I wanted....

Wait a minute...,just a minute

You go down that hallway to a door marked Detectives

You go in there and tell them all about it

What do you want,boy?

It's about a murder,Sir

-Who sent you in here? -The man at the desk outfront

I saw a man murdered last night

-What's your name? -Tommy Woodry.

I was looking through the window

-Address? -225 Holt street

-Where did you see this man murdered? -Upstairs where I live

Go on.Mr and Mrs Kellerson did it Sir

There was a man they were stealing from

You know the people that did it

What are they like?

They don't look like a murderers

They don't?

Son,did you ever had nightmares, bad dreams that scare you?

Yes,Sir, lots of times.

But not this time, this was real.

Come son,tell us what you saw.

I went out on my fire escape last night

And I wanted to go above me because it was cooler there

I fell asleep and when I woke up, I looked through the window.

The sheet was up a little bit so I couldn't not see everything.

There was a fight

And somebody took some scissors, and they stabbed this man in the back

I though you said you couldn't see everything?

I couldn't but

Then how do you know they stabbed him in the back?

I saw him when he fell on the floor.

There was blood on his back and he was dead.

Have you ever turned in any fire alarms?

You know,just to get a little excitement stirred up?

No,Sir,never.

Did you tell your parents about this?

Yes,Sir

Why didn't they come and tell us about it?

Speak up,son,why didn't they tell us about it?

They didn't believe me

Why didn't they believe you?

They think I always making things up

They do?

-Are you always making things up? -Sometimes

But I am not going to any more

You know son it's a pretty serious thing to make something like this up,don't you?

Yes, Sir, I know that

I'm not making it up

I guess it wouldn't hurt anything to run over there and have a look around

All right

-Where do they live son? -225 Holt Street.

On the fifth floor,right upstairs where I live

Remember this is not an official, so don't go sticking your neck out

Get into their apartment on some pretext or other and see what you can find out

Go,along son,he'll see that you get home safely.

-I can't go home -Why not?

Maybe they found out,that I know, they'll kill me too

Don't worry about that son

Nobody is going to kill you

-Not with me going to take care of you -No,please,I'm afraid

Son,don't be afraid,Mr Ross will take good take care of you.

Come on.

-I can't go in the proper way -Why not?

We'll take me back at the fire escape

Oh,no we go right to see your mother,and not on any fire escape.

Come on

Here it is,thanks a lot

Now I think we better see if your mother is home

Yes?

Howdy,Mrs Woodry I'm bringing your boy back from the police station

-Police station -Nothing to get alarmed about

He had quite a wild story to tell us .

and we thought we'd better come over and see what is was all about

Tommy,you didn't tell them

Please don't pay any attention to him, he is always making up stories

If it is not Indians,it's gangsters,if it isn't gangsters something else

-Someone is always getting killed -Born story teller,eh

I don't know what we are going to do with him

We nearly lost our apartment yesterday because of one of his tales

And now the Kellerson. They are really very nice people

I didn't make it up about the Kellersons!

I saw them!

Quiet,haven't you done enough for one day?

You know,if I were you,Mom, I'd talk to his teacher

-Yes,yes -Maybe even a doctor

We'll have to do something

Meantime I certainly would keep an eye on him.

Yes I will,I'll promise you that.

-Thank you for bringing back -Not at all,Good Bye

See what it is

Go on,don't act suspicious, open the door

Open it wide

-Good morning -Hello.

Sorry to bother you,Madam,I'm Mr. Proctor

We are making an estimate answer of repairs in the building

I wonder if you mind if I looked over the apartment

-I haven't had a chance -Come in ,come in

There is plenty needs doing

All right it's pretty messy,please don't pay too much attention to it

-Good Morning. -Good Morning

That's about time they got to around cleaning these places up

Yes, I find most of the apartment in pretty bad shape

Look at that fixture,never worked since we been here

And the bedroom they have ain't been painting since the place was built

Pretty grubby ain't it

The wall papers fallen off the wall

I remember one time we tored the paper off

we found a couple of hundred dollar bills behind it

Confederate money

The roof's been leaking for a long time,it ruined the rug

Every time it rains, the water just pours in

I'll take a look at that when I get on top

-Any more rooms? -Another bedroom in there

Guessed that's do it folks, I think I got everything

When they get around fixing it?

I know it is hard to say, this is only an estimate

We turn in our bid but I'm not even sure we'll get the job

If we do, we'll take care of that for you

-Thank you very much. -You're welcome.

What kind of scare,Joe

What for?

-He doesn't know anything. -Anyway I was scared.

Please, Mum!

I don't care if you like it or not, you're going to apologize

It's going to teach you a lesson,young man

-Please,Mom, no! -Come on

-Hello. -Excuse me, Mrs Kellerson.

Tommy has something he wants to say to you

Well what is it?

Tommy!

Anything wrong Mrs Woodry?

He's been a very bad boy

Doesn't look like a bad boy, what did he do?

Since he won't tell you,he has making up stories about you and your husband

Terrible things

and I've brought him up here to apologize to try to teach him a lesson

Stories?

What kind of stories,Tommy?

Go ahead tell her what you said.

No.

Never mind,Mrs Woodry, don't be upset

I know how little boys are,he'll grow up

I certainly hope so

I do not know what we are going to with him in the meantime though

Don't worry about him

-How is your sister getting along? -She is much better, thank you.

That's good

You ought to be ashamed over yourself humiliating me in front of her like that

I was going to let you go outside now you are going to stay in your room all day

Now she knows that I saw them!

-They'll kill me too -Tommy stop that

If you go out of that window again, young man, you'd really be sorry

I won't, Mum.

There is no place for me to go

You're getting excited about nothing

-The kid knows something. -What does he know?

He didn't see us,nobody did

How can you be sure Joe,he might had been on the fire escape?

I've seen him playing on there lots of time

It was late

He wouldn't be out that hour

He must have told them something why would she want him to apologize

All right

You see the only way we could do is to find out exactly what he knows.

But how?

A way to catch him alone and I'll have a talk with him

A way to catch him alone?

What do you want me to do, going down there when his mother and father there?

-Of course not. -All right,we'll wait.

I'll think of something

False alarm.

Kid's mother says he is always making up stories

Got them in a jam yesterday, they almost lost their apartment

-What about the Kellerson? -A perfectly ordinary pair

Went through the whole place

-Did you see anything unusual? -Not a thing

Funny what imagination would do though

I saw some stains on the floor,turned out to be the place where the roof leaked

Suppose we were lucky we didn't make it official.

-How did you get in? -Said I was an estimator

Say if any more kids turn up with stories, will you send Dorsey,out with them

I do not know anything about interior decorating

Aren't you going to eat?

-I'm sorry,Pop, I'm not hungry. -That's not good,son

Drink your milk,Tommy

Did you stay in your room all day?

-I don't want to lie,Pop. -Did you?

No, Pop

Where did you go?

I went to the police,and told them about the Kellerson.

That's what I wanted to tell you after it I didn't want to spoil your supper

Sneaked out of the room without my knowing about it

Police only brought him back again, naturally they wouldn't believe him

Yes?

This telegram was delivered to our apartment by mistake

I thought it might be important.

Thank you,Mrs Kellerson

It's from Uncle Charlie, Helen is worse.

I'll have to get over there right away,they will need me

Take me with you,Mum

I can't take you with me Tommy

Aunt Helen can't stand children around when she is so sick

Besides I might to have to stay all night, and if I do there wouldn't be room for you

-Please,you can't go -Why not?

It's only a trap, the Kellerson have sent that telegram

Oh Tommy!

Mum,you got to listen to me, you got to believe me!

Tommy why do you act up like this when you know how worried your mother is

Mum,you can not leave me alone.

He must be sick,Eddie,he must be

Acting like this not eating all day

-They'll kill me -Tommy!Tommy

Look here

What makes you think that this telegram is a trick?

I know it

They know that Mum got a sick sister and they know you work night

They want to be left here alone.

If could prove to you that Uncle Charlie really sent this telegram

Then would you stop all this nonsense

of about the Kellersons and admit your are wrong? Would you?

-Yes, Pop -Good

Then in some way we will prove to that the telegram is real

Suppose we go to the drug store and call up Uncle Charlie,you can talk to him yourself

Ask him if he sent it

-How does that sound? -OK,Pop

Swell, come on.

Tommy and I decided that we better phone Uncle Charlie

just to make sure he sent the telegram

All right

Guess I should call him first anyway

Hello Charlie, this is Mary.

Yes, I have got it, how is she?

I am on my way over now but listen, will you talk to Tommy?

He has something he wants to ask you.He is right here

Hello,Uncle Charlie

Did you really send that telegram to Mum?

Nothing, I just wondered

Here she is

Hello,Charlie

-Did you talk to him? -Yeah

Did he send the telegram?

Now you're satisfied?

Will you let mother go without making any more trouble?

You won't be afraid anymore,will you?

-No, Mum. -That's a good boy

It's still early but I might just as well walk get to work

I can ride away with the other bus

Tommy said he would be a good boy now,Ed

He's going to behave himself

If you want your supper the plate is in the Owen

Thanks Mum

You stay in the house tonight,Tommy

You're not very well

and I don't want to be worried about you,while your mother is gone

OK, Pop

You can get your own breakfast if I'm not back in the morning,can't you?

Yes Mum.

Oh Tommy!

-See you in the morning -Bye,Pop

Dear Mum and Pop:

"I know I've been a lot of troble to you and I am sory"

"I love you both, but I'm going to run away"

"GoodbyTommy"

PS

"What I said about the Kellerson was truth"

What are you up to?

It's a good thing I decide to come back

and see that you are all right, otherwise you'll be out on the streets again

-I'm Sorry, Pop -And I am too,Tommy

You're forcing me to do something I dislike very much

If I didn't have to go work

I'd stay here myself and see that you didn't get into any trouble

But I can't do that

So I am going to see to it that you are going to stay in this room.

Please,Pop,don't!

I wouldn't none if you give me any reason to believe that I could trust you

Take me to work with you,Pop, I won't be in your way,honest,I won't

Tommy,your mother and I are very worried about you

Tomorrow morning,first thing

we're going to take you and see a doctor find out what's matter with you

I'll try to get of as soon as I can

You're staying in this room until I come back

Good night,Tommy

So he's leaving?

Better wait a while and make sure

Five to two

We waited long enough. Where is the pass key?

You go down the fire escape,take this with you

What I said about Kellersons was the truth

Hello Tommy.

You'll be quiet if you don't want to get hurt

What's matter with you,Tommy?

Don't you like me?

Have I ever done anything to you?

What are you running around telling stories for?

-They are not stories -Oh no?

Maybe if you told me what they were I could explain

I don't want you thinking these terrible things

What is you think I did?

You know what you did

But I don't

I don't know what are you talking about?

Now come on,Tommy,let's be fair

You can't accuse me of something without telling me what it is

You killed somebody

Come on,Tommy,you don't really believe that

I was out on the fire escape.I saw you

You sure you didn't imagine it?

No, I saw everything the scissors and the man

Tommy, if you really believe that

I think there is only one thing we can do

Go to the police,and tell them about it

You haven't been to the police already,have you?

No.

All right then,I tell you what we do

We'll go down to the police station right now

I don't want you to believe in these things about me, we want to be friends

Maybe the police will convince you.

Jean,Tommy and I am going down to the police station.

The police station?

Yes,there is something we want to straighten out

-But Joe... -You can come along with us

Come on,Tom

Do you know which way it is Tommy?

-Yeah,I think it's out this way -Let's go

You know I'll be glad when we get this whole straightened out,won't you?

I think we gone far enough

Very ashamed of you,Tommy, you get in and behave yourself

225 Holt street

Let me out!

-Joe,we can't go back there. -We got no choice

Had to get him off the streets.Let me handle this

Help!

Help, police!

Help!

Help, police!

-What's the trouble? -They are going to kill me

It's going to get when we come home tonight,that's what's the trouble

And you can holler at all the policeman you want,you young man,and that won't save you

He even once started a false alarm to keep me from giving him him a smack

A good licking never hurt anybody,boy

My old man used to give me enough of them when I was a kid

Still in all,I never thought of calling the cops when he did

They killed a man,last night, honest,they did!

Tommy!

I was at the window I saw they kill him!

Say,are you the kid who was there on the station house this morning

and claimed he saw a murder?

Yes, that was me.

What? You went bothering them too

Tommy that's the last straw

Oh it wasn't so bad

Nobody paid any attention to him

It was bad enough,and he's going to get plenty when I get him home

Don't worry,son,maybe it won't be too bad

They're not my parents,please!

I had enough of this

Get over here

Let me alone!

Can you beat it

After he's giving us all that trouble he's gone to sleep

-Just like my kid,my do it all the time -Yeah

You'd better carry him, Joe,so he don't wake up

Sure can wear themselves out

-Ain't he cute,though? -Yeah

Tommy?

Tommy!

What ever are we going to do with him?

We got to figure out for Tommy to have an accident

Pardon me,Officer.

Have you seen a little boy about so high,he is nine years old,

Has dark hair and light complexion

-No,I haven't,how long has he been gone? -I don't know

I came home early,from work tonight, because I've been worried about him

He's been acting kind of funny all day

And when I got home he was gone

He left me this note.

Said he was going to run away from home,I know better than that

Can't imagine what's happened to him

Kids do funny things.

Don't worry about him

I'd call and get some help, we'll find him for you

Patrol man Delaneyl leaving his post to look for a missing boy

I'd like to have a radio car,help me

-Will you send it over to.. -225 Holt Stret

225 Holt Street I'll meet them there

Put out the light

-Joe,we can't do that -What's the matter

Plays out here all the time

Said so yourself

You're going to be all right all right,let's it happen

-He is not here yet -Was he here all alone?

Yes,mother had to go over to her sister tonight

Would you mind waiting here a minute?

No,not at all

We cannot do it Joe.

I thought maybe I could find him upstairs

I'll bet I know where he is, on his way over to his mother

Let me have my boys take you over there,you'll probably run right into him

-Is he in here? -Yes

There is no stairs past the third floor

Help, Pop!

Help!

Pop!!

Stay Back! Leave me alone!

Let me live!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Police Department

237 Holt street

237 Holt street, report back

Stand aside, stand aside folks

What's the trouble?

-Condemned building collapse -Anybody hurt?

One fellow killed,still somebody up on the third floor

There's a kid trapped up in the rafters,they are trying to get him down

Tommy.

Get back here

I wouldn't get up if I were you

Come on.Get back here

Get back

Don't move son

Hold as still as you can.

We'll have some help in a minute

Don't let him see us

Come on boys, hurry up!

We don't have time to get a ladder in

But here is a mat I 'll throw the light on it

Can you see it?

Do you see it now?

Look down here.

Sit up very carefully

And do just as I tell you

Do not move the beam.

Easy now

Keep your eyes open, keep your hand and feet close together

When I count three,jump

Are you ready?

One

Two

Three.

Jump!

Hurry! Jump!

-Are you all right? -Sure Pop.

Are you hurt?

Stand back Please let them out

Wait, Pop!

The man they just carried out was Mr Kellerson.

And his wife is trapped there in the building,

And if you still don't believe me

the man they killed up there in a closet,honest,Pop

Maybe we better get down to headquarters and get this story straightened out

Move back folks,let them out

All right break it up.

Let them through

That's all the truth.

Will you have some job,son.

Yes, but I know one thing I'll never gonna be a fire man

I don't like jumping in those nets

I'm proud of you,Tommy

And from now on I'll promise I believe you

I'm glad,Pop

And from now on, I promise I'll never make up another story

That will make us all happy.

I'll bet when we get down to the station a lot of guys going to point at me and say

"There goes Tommy Woodry's father"
