1
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:30,790
[panting] Goo-- Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:30,830 --> 00:00:35,400
I have just been competing
in a six-day bicycle race.

3
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:39,100
I’m quite proud to say
I finished first.

4
00:00:39,130 --> 00:00:41,700
I quit after five minutes.

5
00:00:41,740 --> 00:00:44,710
Fortunately, the bicycle seems
to have been invented

6
00:00:44,740 --> 00:00:49,680
by some realist
who knew how often
he would have to push it.

7
00:00:49,710 --> 00:00:53,210
For those of you who
do not care to watch bicycling,

8
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:57,290
we have a pageant presented
by a group of traveling players.

9
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,120
But first, this solo from
a strolling troubadour.

10
00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:32,690
They went out about,
oh, an hour ago.

11
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,090
Right.

12
00:01:36,220 --> 00:01:38,260
OK, Sergeant,
I guess that does it.

13
00:01:38,290 --> 00:01:40,230
-It’s all yours.
-[door closing]

14
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:46,630
Yes?

15
00:01:46,670 --> 00:01:48,900
Is there something
we can do for you?

16
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:52,640
-I don’t know. I hope so.
-What’s your trouble?

17
00:01:52,670 --> 00:01:56,110
Well, a rather startling thing
just happened to me.

18
00:01:56,110 --> 00:01:58,610
I found myself walking
on the street,

19
00:01:58,650 --> 00:02:01,050
just a few blocks from here.

20
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,890
I hailed a taxi to... take me
to where I wanted to go

21
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,790
and when I started to tell
the driver...

22
00:02:07,820 --> 00:02:10,060
I suddenly found I didn’t know
where I wanted to go,

23
00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:12,290
or where I was or...

24
00:02:12,330 --> 00:02:14,700
or how I got there.

25
00:02:14,730 --> 00:02:16,670
I didn’t know who I was.

26
00:02:17,870 --> 00:02:19,800
I seem to have forgotten
everything.

27
00:02:21,970 --> 00:02:23,970
Amnesia, City Hospital.

28
00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:26,270
Right.

29
00:02:26,310 --> 00:02:29,180
You look in your pockets?
For identification, I mean.

30
00:02:29,210 --> 00:02:31,580
Driver’s license,
wallet, letters...

31
00:02:31,610 --> 00:02:34,480
I looked. There’s... nothing.

32
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,150
No money?

33
00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:37,990
-[man] Nothing.
-Well, he’s not
a vagrant, lieutenant.

34
00:02:38,090 --> 00:02:39,650
Not with those clothes.

35
00:02:39,690 --> 00:02:43,090
Well, let City Hospital worry
about it. That’s their problem.

36
00:02:43,090 --> 00:02:46,190
Officer...
what will they do with me?

37
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:48,100
Oh, don’t worry about it.

38
00:02:48,100 --> 00:02:49,930
They’ve had a great deal
of experience in cases
like yours.

39
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,600
You’ll be in good hands.

40
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:54,300
Just do what they want you
to do and everything
will be all right.

41
00:02:54,340 --> 00:02:56,440
-Will it?
-Sure.

42
00:02:56,470 --> 00:02:58,270
Sergeant, have them send
a wagon for me.

43
00:02:58,310 --> 00:03:01,040
Can’t spare a car
on Saturday night.

44
00:03:07,250 --> 00:03:10,820
Line’s busy. Looks like they
are getting a head-start
on us tonight.

45
00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:12,720
Well, keep trying.

46
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:15,290
-Goodnight.
-Goodnight, sir.

47
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,960
Well, young man,
what can we do for you?

48
00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:26,740
Is-is this the place
you are supposed to come
when you’re lost?

49
00:03:26,770 --> 00:03:28,440
Yes.

50
00:03:28,470 --> 00:03:30,210
Where are you lost from?

51
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,340
From?

52
00:03:31,370 --> 00:03:32,910
I mean where do you live.

53
00:03:32,940 --> 00:03:35,110
Well, no place exactly.

54
00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:37,510
That is,
we sort of travel around.

55
00:03:37,550 --> 00:03:39,310
We? Who is we?

56
00:03:39,350 --> 00:03:40,980
Me and my dad.

57
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,780
Well, uh,
what’s your dad’s name?

58
00:03:44,490 --> 00:03:47,320
Same as mine, Michael Holland.

59
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,160
Only everybody calls me Mickey.

60
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:52,460
Well, Mickey, where can we
find your father?

61
00:03:52,490 --> 00:03:53,760
I mean, where can we reach him?

62
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,370
I don’t know.

63
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,900
Wh-Where did you lose him?

64
00:03:59,930 --> 00:04:01,870
I mean, where did he lose you?

65
00:04:03,740 --> 00:04:07,780
Well, we were riding in the car

66
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:10,950
and I was sleeping
in the back seat.

67
00:04:11,050 --> 00:04:13,550
And he stopped for gas
and I was thirsty,

68
00:04:13,580 --> 00:04:16,350
so I got out
for a drink of water.

69
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:18,750
And when I came back,
he was gone.

70
00:04:18,790 --> 00:04:20,920
I-I guess he didn’t see me
get out

71
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,920
and thought I was still
sleeping in the back seat

72
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,390
and just drove away without me.

73
00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:29,500
Well, Mickey, we can
send out an alarm for him
and have him stopped.

74
00:04:29,530 --> 00:04:31,500
Now, uh,
what kind of a car is it?

75
00:04:31,530 --> 00:04:34,300
I mean, what color,
what license number.

76
00:04:34,340 --> 00:04:37,610
Well, it’s kind of
dark-colored, hmm...

77
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,880
Blue or black,
that’s all I know.

78
00:04:40,910 --> 00:04:44,480
We-We just got it.

79
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:46,750
Well, I guess we can’t
pick him up on that.

80
00:04:46,780 --> 00:04:49,420
We’ll have to wait until
he misses you and reports
you’re lost.

81
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:51,250
But in the meantime, we’re
gonna put you someplace

82
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,560
where they’ll take
real good care of you.

83
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:55,660
-Juvenile Hall.
-[officer] Right.

84
00:04:55,690 --> 00:04:57,590
Well, if I don’t see you
before, I’ll see you tomorrow.

85
00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:58,990
Goodnight.

86
00:04:59,090 --> 00:05:00,730
-[Shaw rotates the dial]
-Bye, lieutenant.

87
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,030
-Hi.
-Hi.

88
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,240
Yes, it’s Sergeant Shaw,
police headquarters.

89
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:08,770
We got a lost child here.
Can you pick him up?

90
00:05:10,570 --> 00:05:14,710
No, I’m afraid we can’t
send a police car.

91
00:05:14,740 --> 00:05:17,050
OK, I’ll hold him until
you raise some transportation.

92
00:05:17,050 --> 00:05:18,780
Oh, wait a minute.

93
00:05:18,810 --> 00:05:20,880
I’ve got an amnesia case here
for the City Hospital,

94
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,250
maybe your driver can
drop him off, it’s on the way.

95
00:05:24,290 --> 00:05:26,050
Right.

96
00:05:30,060 --> 00:05:32,630
Oh, come on, cheer up.

97
00:05:32,660 --> 00:05:34,530
It’s not like you are
being sent to jail.

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,500
You’re going somewhere
where they can do you
some good, both of you.

99
00:05:37,530 --> 00:05:39,900
-I hope so.
-[Shaw] Sure.

100
00:05:39,930 --> 00:05:43,140
Can-Can I sit down?
I’m kind of tired.

101
00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:45,110
Sure, take the load
off your feet, both of you.

102
00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:47,910
But not there.
These are more comfortable.

103
00:05:47,940 --> 00:05:49,240
Right through this gate.

104
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,950
There you are, gentlemen.
Just make yourselves at home.

105
00:05:55,980 --> 00:05:57,450
-[woman arguing]
-[officer] Come on.

106
00:05:57,490 --> 00:05:59,720
-Come on now, Maggie.
-Just one drink.

107
00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:01,120
-One. One.
-We’ll... uh...

108
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,390
We’ll give you a drink...
some black coffee.

109
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:06,490
Come on. Come on, Maggie.

110
00:06:06,530 --> 00:06:08,030
Is she drunk?

111
00:06:08,030 --> 00:06:09,560
-[Maggie] Just one.
-[officer] All right, come on.

112
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:10,870
I’m afraid so.

113
00:06:10,900 --> 00:06:12,670
[Maggie] Look,
just let me go, huh?

114
00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:16,100
I’ll go straight home.
That’s-- I-I promise!

115
00:06:16,140 --> 00:06:19,210
Like you promised the last time
and then went straight back
to Dunnigan’s Bar.

116
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,840
No, no, no. This time I will.

117
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,310
Sure you will.
I’m going to see to that.

118
00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:28,850
-Take her home.
-No, if he takes me home,

119
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,320
all the neighbors-- wha-what--

120
00:06:30,350 --> 00:06:32,420
all the neighbors
are gonna see him, right?

121
00:06:32,450 --> 00:06:36,490
And Lizzie says if a cop
ever takes me home again--

122
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,360
All right, Maggie,
tell you what I’ll do.

123
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:41,500
I’ll call Lizzie
and have her come down
to pick you up herself.

124
00:06:41,530 --> 00:06:43,800
OK, Perry, I’ll handle it.
You get back to work.

125
00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:45,170
Sure.

126
00:06:46,940 --> 00:06:48,940
[Shaw rotates the dial]

127
00:06:48,970 --> 00:06:50,340
[coins clinking]

128
00:06:50,370 --> 00:06:52,710
-Is that a hat?
-So long, Maggie.

129
00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:54,340
It’s a policeman’s helmet.

130
00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:56,510
The kind they used to wear
a long time ago.

131
00:06:57,580 --> 00:06:59,080
-[door closes]
-Say,

132
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,520
that’s one thing you remember.

133
00:07:00,550 --> 00:07:02,050
Hmm?

134
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,090
[Shaw]
Not bad for a starter.

135
00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:07,220
Tell me,
what else do you remember?

136
00:07:09,020 --> 00:07:12,060
It’s all right, sir.
You just let it come by itself.

137
00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:16,230
Yeah, this is Sergeant Shaw,
police headquarters.

138
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:18,900
We’ve got your sister down here.
You want to come
and pick her up?

139
00:07:18,930 --> 00:07:22,040
[chuckles] Don’t worry,
I won’t let her get away.

140
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,310
And take your time,
there’s no rush.

141
00:07:24,340 --> 00:07:27,210
We never close.

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,940
Oh, me!

143
00:07:32,380 --> 00:07:34,620
Well,

144
00:07:34,650 --> 00:07:35,920
hello, darling.

145
00:07:35,950 --> 00:07:37,520
Hello.

146
00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:39,650
What’s your name, huh?

147
00:07:39,690 --> 00:07:41,790
-Mickey.
-Mickey.

148
00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:44,530
Oh, that’s a pretty name
for a boy.

149
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,560
-Pretty?
-Yeah!

150
00:07:46,590 --> 00:07:49,330
I think it’s beautiful,
don’t you?

151
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,070
-No.
-Sal, Sergeant Shaw.

152
00:07:52,100 --> 00:07:56,070
Send over about
six, uh, coffees and, uh...

153
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:58,410
Say, how about some food,
you two? You hungry?

154
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,380
Well, um...

155
00:08:02,610 --> 00:08:05,080
I bet you could force yourself.

156
00:08:05,110 --> 00:08:08,480
How about you, sir?
I bet you don’t remember
the last time you ate.

157
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,190
No, but I...

158
00:08:10,220 --> 00:08:11,690
don’t feel very hungry.

159
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,420
Yeah, but I bet you could
force yourself too.

160
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:19,530
Sal, make it about, uh,
four hamburgers and, uh...

161
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,760
a bottle of pop.
That should do it.

162
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,130
Boy, I ought to get lost
more often.

163
00:08:24,170 --> 00:08:25,700
[laughs]

164
00:08:25,730 --> 00:08:30,110
You know what?
If I had a kid like you,

165
00:08:30,140 --> 00:08:31,840
I’d never lose him.

166
00:08:33,410 --> 00:08:35,080
Would you like to be
my little boy?

167
00:08:35,110 --> 00:08:37,350
I’d just hug you and kiss you--

168
00:08:37,380 --> 00:08:39,610
Keep away from me!

169
00:08:40,680 --> 00:08:42,220
OK, Maggie, come on.
Leave him alone.

170
00:08:42,250 --> 00:08:44,250
-I was only going to love him.
-I know.

171
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:46,290
-I wasn’t going to hurt him.
-You just sit down.

172
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,460
Was I?
I wasn’t going to hurt him...

173
00:08:48,490 --> 00:08:49,590
It’s just a lost kid, Maggie.

174
00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:52,560
[sobbing]

175
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:54,530
[sighs]
Mickey,

176
00:08:55,860 --> 00:08:58,400
tell me,
where was your dad headed?

177
00:08:58,430 --> 00:08:59,600
What town?

178
00:08:59,630 --> 00:09:01,200
I-I don’t know.

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,700
[Shaw]
Well, didn’t he say?

180
00:09:02,740 --> 00:09:05,540
I can’t remember.
I’d tell you if I did, honest.

181
00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:16,850
Must be fun.

182
00:09:16,890 --> 00:09:19,520
Traveling around the country
with your dad.

183
00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:22,060
Yeah, sure is.

184
00:09:22,090 --> 00:09:24,760
-What does he do?
-He...

185
00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:26,930
He’s an engineer.

186
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:31,670
He builds bridges, dams,
big things like that.

187
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:33,640
Sounds exciting.

188
00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:35,540
With all that time outdoors,
you must have

189
00:09:35,570 --> 00:09:38,040
plenty of chances
for hunting and fishing.

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,140
Do you like to fish?

191
00:09:40,180 --> 00:09:43,950
I remember I did
when I was a little boy.

192
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:48,050
Yes. There was a stream
on my father’s farm.

193
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,150
There weren’t
too many fish in it,

194
00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:52,450
and I hardly ever caught any.

195
00:09:52,490 --> 00:09:55,690
My father used to laugh at me
for wasting my time.

196
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,590
But my mother didn’t.

197
00:09:58,630 --> 00:10:00,330
She said

198
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,470
that hope was a wonderful thing.

199
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,740
And that fishing wasn’t just
a matter of catching fish.

200
00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:10,970
My mom’s dead.

201
00:10:11,010 --> 00:10:14,040
I don’t even remember her.

202
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,410
I’m sorry, Mickey.

203
00:10:17,450 --> 00:10:20,550
My mother died too
when I was a little boy.

204
00:10:20,580 --> 00:10:23,450
I thought you couldn’t
remember anything.

205
00:10:23,490 --> 00:10:26,820
Hmm? God, bless my soul.

206
00:10:26,860 --> 00:10:29,790
Yes, I am remembering,
aren’t I?

207
00:10:29,820 --> 00:10:32,690
Yes, there was a farm.

208
00:10:32,730 --> 00:10:34,930
Perhaps there still is.

209
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,770
It’s all so vague...

210
00:10:40,570 --> 00:10:43,040
When was it?

211
00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:46,410
Well, you’re not a farmer now.
Not with those hands.

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,710
Must have been a long time ago.

213
00:10:48,740 --> 00:10:52,180
Yes, it must have been
a long time ago.

214
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:56,250
There was a marshland,
with ducks in it.

215
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,620
And one hawk in particular.

216
00:10:58,650 --> 00:11:01,290
I called him Bloody Sam, he used
to prey on the ducklings.

217
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:06,290
He’d come swooping down,
he’d pick up a duck,
and he’d fly away.

218
00:11:06,330 --> 00:11:08,560
But he’d come back soon,

219
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,670
very soon,
for another duckling.

220
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:13,440
Why didn’t you get a gun
and shoot him?

221
00:11:13,470 --> 00:11:15,200
I was too young for a gun.

222
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,240
I asked my father
to kill the hawk,

223
00:11:17,270 --> 00:11:19,570
but he said that the hawk
was only doing

224
00:11:19,610 --> 00:11:21,840
what he had to do
in order to live.

225
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,750
And besides, he made off
with the rats and the mice.

226
00:11:24,780 --> 00:11:28,180
I’d sure have done something.

227
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:30,820
There didn’t seem to be
anything I could do.

228
00:11:30,850 --> 00:11:35,320
The hawk would swoop,
the ducks would quack wildly,

229
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,160
and the hawk would fly away
with his dinner in his claws.

230
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,430
You know, Mickey,

231
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:47,540
I think that hawk taught me
a great deal about life.

232
00:11:47,570 --> 00:11:49,670
What?

233
00:11:49,700 --> 00:11:51,610
Well, if the ducks
had been strong

234
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,140
or stronger than the hawk,
he wouldn’t touch them.

235
00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,810
And I knew, if I didn’t want
to get hurt,

236
00:11:57,850 --> 00:12:00,580
I’d have to be big,
and strong.

237
00:12:00,620 --> 00:12:05,290
Well, you are not very big,
for a grown-up.

238
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,120
Are you strong?

239
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,330
There are different kinds
of strength.

240
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,290
Money and position.

241
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,330
Money and position, yes.

242
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,970
I went after them,
and I achieved them.

243
00:12:22,970 --> 00:12:24,440
How?

244
00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:26,810
Huh?

245
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,780
How?

246
00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:32,950
Oh, I don’t remember.

247
00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:34,580
I don’t remember.

248
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,530
Hi, Sarge.
Who’s all this for?

249
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:51,400
My hungry friends over there.

250
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,500
Here you are, men.

251
00:12:55,540 --> 00:12:58,440
This may be your last meal,
so eat hearty.

252
00:12:58,470 --> 00:13:01,610
-Last meal?
-In this place you never know.

253
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,510
-He’s just teasing.
-Sure I am.

254
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:06,050
Don’t let me spoil
your appetite.

255
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:07,580
Take the money out of Callahan.

256
00:13:07,620 --> 00:13:10,050
Right.

257
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,190
Thanks, Callahan.

258
00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:19,160
Would you mind
explaining, Sergeant?

259
00:13:19,190 --> 00:13:23,470
Huh? Oh, you mean
about Callahan.

260
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:27,500
Well, I’ll tell you. He was
the cop that used to belong
to that helmet.

261
00:13:27,540 --> 00:13:31,210
When he was alive,
he’d always pass it around
for some worthy cause.

262
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,770
Oh.

263
00:13:32,810 --> 00:13:34,540
So, when he went on,
it only seemed right

264
00:13:34,580 --> 00:13:37,480
to leave the helmet there
and, well you know,
carry on the good work.

265
00:13:37,510 --> 00:13:39,650
Uh-huh.

266
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:41,580
We all contribute

267
00:13:41,620 --> 00:13:44,290
and whatevers in it
is a special fund for cases
like this.

268
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:45,920
[engine sounds
and tires screeching outside]

269
00:14:03,770 --> 00:14:05,510
All right, inside.

270
00:14:05,540 --> 00:14:07,280
Hey, what about our sickles?

271
00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:08,610
You leave them out here.

272
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,180
Suppose they get stolen.

273
00:14:10,210 --> 00:14:11,910
Outside the police station?

274
00:14:11,950 --> 00:14:14,580
So what’s so special about
a police station?

275
00:14:14,620 --> 00:14:16,120
You are about to find out.

276
00:14:16,150 --> 00:14:17,790
OK, let’s go, inside.

277
00:14:24,630 --> 00:14:25,930
OK, let’s go.

278
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:30,900
Let’s go.

279
00:14:32,470 --> 00:14:33,900
Well, what do we have here?

280
00:14:33,940 --> 00:14:36,600
Look, we didn’t break
any laws. We didn’t do nothing.

281
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,310
No, we were
just riding through--

282
00:14:38,340 --> 00:14:39,970
Yeah, and this joker grabs us.

283
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,910
What kind of town
you got here anyway?

284
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:43,610
They were coming from Mayfield.

285
00:14:43,650 --> 00:14:46,510
Mayfield, huh?
What were you doing there?

286
00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:48,850
Well, you see, there’s a--
there’s a rally there, dad--

287
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:50,190
I’m not your dad.

288
00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:52,450
And I know
there’s a rally there.

289
00:14:52,490 --> 00:14:55,220
I also know there’s been
quite a lot of shenanigans
going on.

290
00:14:55,260 --> 00:14:57,330
Yeah, well, it got a little
too rough for us, man.

291
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,660
That’s why we like, cut out,
you know?

292
00:14:59,690 --> 00:15:02,430
You sure you didn’t cut out
one step ahead of the police?

293
00:15:02,460 --> 00:15:05,600
-Oh, man...
-No, they’re not after us.

294
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:08,240
[Shaw] All right, let me see
your identifications.

295
00:15:08,270 --> 00:15:10,240
Oh, boy, they call this
a free country.

296
00:15:10,270 --> 00:15:12,170
Absolutely free...

297
00:15:12,210 --> 00:15:13,410
until you break a law.

298
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,480
Yeah, well,
we didn’t break no law.

299
00:15:16,810 --> 00:15:18,910
Are they gangsters?

300
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,500
Hi, Lieutenant,
this is Sergeant Shaw
at Farmingham.

301
00:15:38,530 --> 00:15:42,300
We just picked up
three motorcycles coming
from your way.

302
00:15:42,340 --> 00:15:44,810
Their names are Dewey Simms,

303
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,840
Larry Rowan and Marti...
That’s a female, Lieutenant.

304
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,410
M-A-R-T-I.

305
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,950
Thomas.

306
00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:53,180
You want them for anything?

307
00:15:53,210 --> 00:15:54,580
I see.

308
00:15:54,620 --> 00:15:56,450
OK, I’ll hold them
until I hear from you.

309
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,990
Right.

310
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:02,090
Could you spare some
of that coffee?

311
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,030
Of course, yes.

312
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:07,100
How about you, people,
would you care for some?

313
00:16:07,130 --> 00:16:09,060
There’s plenty of it.

314
00:16:09,100 --> 00:16:11,770
-Sure, why not.
-Thanks.

315
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,170
Thanks, kid.

316
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,270
Can your motorcycles
go very fast?

317
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:19,610
[chuckles]
Yeah, they go fast.

318
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Say, you want a ride?

319
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,510
Oh, boy, now?

320
00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:24,450
[chuckles]

321
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:26,110
Well...

322
00:16:26,150 --> 00:16:28,280
I can’t go either.

323
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,850
What are you in for?

324
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,090
[Mickey]
I’m lost.

325
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,060
And, uh, what’s your rap?

326
00:16:35,090 --> 00:16:36,930
Rap? Oh, amnesia.

327
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,530
Amnesia. Sounds like a cold.

328
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,060
[laughs]

329
00:16:40,100 --> 00:16:41,560
I wish it were.

330
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,070
[Larry] Well, you got hit
on the head or something?

331
00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:46,970
I don’t know.

332
00:16:47,070 --> 00:16:49,800
[phone ringing]

333
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,870
Sergeant Shaw,
police headquarters. Oh.

334
00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:53,940
Hi, Lieutenant.

335
00:16:53,980 --> 00:16:55,410
I see.

336
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,980
Thanks a lot.

337
00:16:58,380 --> 00:17:01,050
OK, you three,
you’re off the hook.

338
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Take off.

339
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:04,450
So long, dad.

340
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,860
So long, kid.

341
00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:10,230
-So long.
-See you, Sergeant.

342
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,340
I’m sorry you have
to wait this long.

343
00:17:20,370 --> 00:17:22,700
Oh, that’s all right, Sergeant,
this is very interesting.

344
00:17:22,740 --> 00:17:24,470
-Yeah.
-[motorcycles revving]

345
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:26,140
Yeah, we get all kinds here.

346
00:17:26,170 --> 00:17:30,450
Drunks, delinquents,
good ones, bad ones,

347
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,110
thieves...

348
00:17:33,620 --> 00:17:35,650
and liars.

349
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,920
Thieves and liars...

350
00:17:39,050 --> 00:17:40,790
You know...

351
00:17:40,820 --> 00:17:43,290
lying is stealing in a way.

352
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,830
A liar steals the truth

353
00:17:45,860 --> 00:17:50,900
and causes trouble for those
who believe and act
on what he tells them.

354
00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:52,370
You...

355
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:53,670
you think I am lying?

356
00:17:58,510 --> 00:18:01,140
Well, I am.

357
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:03,710
My dad didn’t drive away
like I said.

358
00:18:04,780 --> 00:18:06,580
He’s no engineer.

359
00:18:06,610 --> 00:18:08,780
He just does odd jobs.

360
00:18:08,820 --> 00:18:11,390
Working on roads,
picking fruit...

361
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:13,020
things like that.

362
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:15,160
But we got along pretty good.

363
00:18:15,190 --> 00:18:17,160
Until he met this...

364
00:18:17,190 --> 00:18:20,500
Well, her name’s Diane.

365
00:18:20,530 --> 00:18:23,100
She didn’t like me much.

366
00:18:23,130 --> 00:18:24,770
Said I was always in the way.

367
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,640
And I guess he liked her
more than me

368
00:18:27,670 --> 00:18:30,770
’cause tonight,
when we were passing through,

369
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:34,040
she said why didn’t he put me
in a home for kids.

370
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,750
So he stopped the car in front
of the police station

371
00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:38,550
and told me to get out.

372
00:18:38,580 --> 00:18:40,050
He said they’d take care of me

373
00:18:40,050 --> 00:18:42,120
until he could come back
for me some day.

374
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:44,220
But I don’t want him
to come back!

375
00:18:44,250 --> 00:18:46,690
[crying] I don’t care if
he never comes back!

376
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,360
If he doesn’t want me,
I don’t want him!

377
00:18:51,060 --> 00:18:52,890
It’s all right, Mickey.

378
00:18:52,930 --> 00:18:54,730
Maybe he’ll come back

379
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,700
when he’s had time
to think it over.

380
00:18:56,730 --> 00:19:00,770
I don’t care!
I’d rather go to a home!

381
00:19:03,340 --> 00:19:04,870
No...

382
00:19:04,910 --> 00:19:07,710
I don’t want to go
to a home either.

383
00:19:09,810 --> 00:19:11,680
Is that why you didn’t
tell the truth?

384
00:19:11,710 --> 00:19:13,650
It’s all right.

385
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,680
-I understand.
-[sobs]

386
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,050
I don’t want to go
to a hospital.

387
00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:20,090
I want to go where I belong.

388
00:19:20,120 --> 00:19:24,490
Be with people I belong to,
my family and my friends.

389
00:19:24,530 --> 00:19:26,490
If I have any...

390
00:19:26,530 --> 00:19:28,200
I don’t know.

391
00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:31,800
I’m your friend.

392
00:19:35,540 --> 00:19:39,440
Thank you, Mickey.
That makes me feel better.

393
00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:43,040
-Sure.
-You remind me of another boy.

394
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,510
A long time ago.

395
00:19:45,550 --> 00:19:48,180
My boy and... Madge’s.

396
00:19:49,380 --> 00:19:51,150
Madge...

397
00:19:51,190 --> 00:19:53,560
your wife.

398
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:55,460
Madge...

399
00:19:55,490 --> 00:19:57,530
my wife.

400
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,760
Yeah, she’s gone.

401
00:20:00,130 --> 00:20:01,630
Gone?

402
00:20:01,660 --> 00:20:03,600
Huh?

403
00:20:03,630 --> 00:20:07,170
Oh. [nervous laugh]
That’s, uh...

404
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,640
That’s all I remember,
that’s all I remember.

405
00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:13,270
That’s too bad.

406
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,650
I guess you’ve had it, I’m not
fooling around anymore.

407
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,980
-What do you mean?
-I mean I’m not wasting time

408
00:20:20,020 --> 00:20:21,750
or money sending you
to a hospital.

409
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:23,450
I’m booking you as a vagrant
and locking you up.

410
00:20:23,490 --> 00:20:25,890
Locking him up?
What did he do?

411
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,360
I’ll get to you in a minute.
I heard what you told him.

412
00:20:28,390 --> 00:20:30,960
I don’t like liars either
and I’ll take care of you.

413
00:20:30,990 --> 00:20:33,600
-The devil you will!
-And who’s going to stop me?

414
00:20:33,630 --> 00:20:35,200
-I will!
-And who do you think you are?

415
00:20:35,230 --> 00:20:37,370
I am Leonard Eldridge,
that’s who I--

416
00:20:40,170 --> 00:20:42,570
Hello, Mr. Eldridge.

417
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,370
I’ve heard of you.

418
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:47,640
I guess everybody in this state
has heard of Leonard Eldridge.

419
00:20:49,780 --> 00:20:52,350
I’m Leonard Eldridge.

420
00:20:52,380 --> 00:20:55,180
Leonard Eldridge...

421
00:20:55,220 --> 00:20:57,850
Tell me, Mr. Eldridge,
what are you doing
so far from home?

422
00:20:57,890 --> 00:21:00,760
You live way over in Hartdale,
in that big house overlooking
the river.

423
00:21:00,790 --> 00:21:02,590
Yes, that great big house.

424
00:21:02,620 --> 00:21:05,360
That great big empty house
with all those people,

425
00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:07,500
none of whom mean
anything to me.

426
00:21:07,530 --> 00:21:09,560
All those people,
servants, employees,

427
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,900
whose only interest in me
is my... money.

428
00:21:12,930 --> 00:21:15,070
But nobody, anymore,

429
00:21:15,070 --> 00:21:16,870
who cares for me.

430
00:21:16,910 --> 00:21:18,240
That’s why I left.

431
00:21:18,270 --> 00:21:20,480
I couldn’t stand it anymore.

432
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:21,480
I...

433
00:21:21,510 --> 00:21:23,180
[deep sigh]

434
00:21:23,210 --> 00:21:25,380
I went looking for someone.

435
00:21:25,410 --> 00:21:28,820
For someone...

436
00:21:28,850 --> 00:21:31,690
-I don’t know.
-Madge?

437
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,890
She died.

438
00:21:36,930 --> 00:21:39,830
And my boy, our boy,
he died too.

439
00:21:39,860 --> 00:21:43,630
In the war, and after that
there was no one,
no one in the world!

440
00:21:43,670 --> 00:21:46,100
I-I know,

441
00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:48,100
like someone driving away

442
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:50,870
and leaving you there all alone.

443
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,140
Tell me, Mr. Eldridge,
should I call your house

444
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:56,480
and have them
send a car for you?

445
00:21:56,510 --> 00:21:59,150
Yeah. Thank you, Sergeant.

446
00:21:59,180 --> 00:22:02,650
What--? What about the boy?

447
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,390
Oh, well...

448
00:22:04,420 --> 00:22:08,960
Well, does he... does he
have to go to that home?

449
00:22:09,060 --> 00:22:11,630
I’m afraid so.

450
00:22:11,660 --> 00:22:16,060
Unless there’s...
someplace else for him to go.

451
00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:18,430
I have a place, lots of room.

452
00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:21,900
Too much room for just...
one old man, but...

453
00:22:21,940 --> 00:22:24,110
if there was a boy in it,
why...

454
00:22:24,140 --> 00:22:26,270
that would be just right!
What about it, Mickey?

455
00:22:26,310 --> 00:22:28,640
You... you mean you want me?

456
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,880
Well, you said you were
my friend,

457
00:22:30,910 --> 00:22:33,720
and if friends stick together,
they can’t get lost, can they?

458
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:35,720
-No, sir!
-Is that all right, Sergeant?

459
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:37,090
All right? I think it’s fine.

460
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,550
We’ll work out
the legal arrangements later.

461
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:40,360
Come on, son, let’s go.

462
00:22:41,890 --> 00:22:45,690
Oh, and, Sergeant,
we won’t wait for the car,

463
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:48,500
we’ll take a taxi.

464
00:22:48,530 --> 00:22:50,100
And thank you, Sergeant.

465
00:22:50,130 --> 00:22:51,430
Goodnight!

466
00:22:51,470 --> 00:22:52,570
-Goodnight.
-[Mickey] Goodnight!

467
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:53,670
Goodnight, Mickey!

468
00:22:58,770 --> 00:23:00,710
[door closing]

469
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,850
Sergeant, I’m Harris.
Juvenile Hall.

470
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,320
You got a lost child here
and an amnesia case?

471
00:23:11,350 --> 00:23:14,960
Oh, yes, I did have,
but you’re too late.

472
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:16,590
Too late?

473
00:23:16,620 --> 00:23:18,230
Yeah.

474
00:23:18,260 --> 00:23:20,430
Better luck next time.

475
00:23:20,460 --> 00:23:22,930
Those two got away.

476
00:23:34,210 --> 00:23:39,510
I want to apologize
for the lack of blood shed
on tonight’s program.

477
00:23:39,550 --> 00:23:42,450
We shall try to do better
next time.

478
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,820
However, if all you wish
is something to make
your blood run cold,

479
00:23:47,860 --> 00:23:50,460
we have commercials to do that.

480
00:23:50,490 --> 00:23:55,260
Here’s one of them, after which
I shall again pedal into view.

481
00:23:57,230 --> 00:24:00,100
I have abandoned my bicycle.

482
00:24:00,140 --> 00:24:04,570
I find the job can be done
much better by hand.

483
00:24:04,610 --> 00:24:08,180
Next week, we should be back
again with another program,

484
00:24:08,210 --> 00:24:12,080
based on authentic stories
taken from the files

485
00:24:12,110 --> 00:24:15,550
of America’s
best television writers.

486
00:24:15,580 --> 00:24:18,490
-Goodnight.
