- Good morning, Mr Morse.

10
00:02:05,334 --> 00:02:07,169
- Morning.
- Good morning, Mr Morse.

11
00:02:07,294 --> 00:02:10,172
- Put a dime on 776 for me tomorrow.
- 776.

12
00:02:10,297 --> 00:02:11,465
How do you like that for luck, Bob?

13
00:02:12,716 --> 00:02:14,635
Today's winner's 114.
I had a dime on 113.

14
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,262
- Didn't I?
- (Bellhop) Yeah, you did.

15
00:02:16,387 --> 00:02:18,806
I nearly made 60 bucks
except for that one little digit.

16
00:02:18,931 --> 00:02:20,266
600 to 1.

17
00:02:20,391 --> 00:02:23,310
- You gonna play 776 tomorrow?
- Nah, 823.

18
00:02:23,435 --> 00:02:24,770
This morning,
I nearly got hit by a car.

19
00:02:24,895 --> 00:02:27,064
And you know what the last number
of the license was? 823.

20
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:29,692
I figure if I live through today,
it's my lucky number.

21
00:02:29,817 --> 00:02:30,901
Am I right, Mr Morse?

22
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,113
If you don't get killed,
it's a lucky day for anybody.

23
00:02:34,238 --> 00:02:37,992
- Nickel on 776.
- 776? That's a nickel.

Mr Tucker?

00:03:49,772 --> 00:03:51,774
- Well, sure. Put him on.
- (Knocking at door)

39
00:03:51,899 --> 00:03:53,734
One minute, Hobe.

40
00:03:54,235 --> 00:03:57,321
Hello, Ben?
Fine. Right. Right.

41
00:03:57,446 --> 00:03:59,615
I'll be there in a few minutes.
Bye.

42
00:04:01,992 --> 00:04:03,827
Come in, Hobe.

43
00:04:05,955 --> 00:04:07,289
- Morning, Joe.
- Morning.

44
00:04:07,414 --> 00:04:10,417
I wonder if you can help me out
with this.

45
00:04:11,252 --> 00:04:13,254
No shine today, Louie.
Thanks.

46
00:04:14,964 --> 00:04:17,299
You know that new Galahad,
the governor appointed?

47
00:04:17,424 --> 00:04:19,093
Our new special prosecutor?

48
00:04:19,218 --> 00:04:20,761
(Hobe) Link Hall?
(Joe) Yeah, Hall.

49
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:24,682
His father was in the class
ahead of me at Harvard.

50
00:04:24,807 --> 00:04:26,308
You know the son?

51
00:04:26,433 --> 00:04:28,310
I gave the boy a pony
for his 4th birthday,

52
00:04:28,435 --> 00:04:29,770
but I haven't seen
a great deal of him since.

53
00:04:29,895 --> 00:04:34,108
- Since when?
- Since the market fell in on me in '29.

54
00:04:34,483 --> 00:04:37,528
Do you think you can manage
to invite the son up for dinner soon?

55
00:04:37,653 --> 00:04:41,198
- Why?
- Well, I...

56
00:04:41,323 --> 00:04:43,742
Louie, would you mind stepping out
a moment, please?

57
00:04:44,451 --> 00:04:45,953
Thank you.

58
00:04:47,705 --> 00:04:49,707
If we knew which side of the street
Hall was working,

59
00:04:49,832 --> 00:04:51,667
our client, Mr Ben Tucker,
might appreciate it.

60
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:54,628
We don't want any collisions
we don't have to have.

61
00:04:54,753 --> 00:04:58,924
We've got a big retainer to change
the numbers racket into a legal lottery.

62
00:05:01,427 --> 00:05:02,761
Joe...

63
00:05:04,430 --> 00:05:06,515
...you usually know
what you're doing,

64
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,977
but it's one thing to represent
Tucker legally, as his lawyer, I mean.

65
00:05:10,102 --> 00:05:14,273
I mean, it's the business of lawyers
to protect a lot of people.

66
00:05:14,398 --> 00:05:17,693
They, er... even teach that
at Harvard.

67
00:05:17,818 --> 00:05:19,236
Yes?

68
00:05:19,361 --> 00:05:21,613
But the minute you start
doing business for Tucker,

69
00:05:21,739 --> 00:05:25,200
doing Tucker's business,
it's a different thing, Joe.

70
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:28,829
Lawyers are not protected
from the law.

71
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:37,046
Tucker is making me rich,
Hobe,

72
00:05:37,171 --> 00:05:38,714
and I'm your partner
who's making you rich.

73
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,842
I wear his old school tie
and you wear mine.

74
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:45,679
You can buy one for yourself
during lunch hour off any pushcart.

75
00:05:47,931 --> 00:05:49,350
Louie.

76
00:05:50,684 --> 00:05:52,186
Finish his shine.

77
00:05:54,897 --> 00:05:56,482
(Tucker) How much
have you got here, Joe?

78
00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:59,777
25,000. There's another 60
in my office safe.

79
00:05:59,902 --> 00:06:03,739
Well, there's 50 more here.
It will be more than plenty.

80
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:07,534
We only want to finance
12 of the banks, Joe, the big ones...

81
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,997
...and your brother's little bank,
of course, so it makes 13.

82
00:06:12,122 --> 00:06:13,624
The rest can go to the wall,

83
00:06:13,749 --> 00:06:17,169
and the combination
will take over their trade.

84
00:06:18,712 --> 00:06:21,715
You going up
to see your brother now?

85
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:24,676
Can I be frank with you, Ben?

86
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:30,349
Edna always says that to me.

87
00:06:30,474 --> 00:06:33,060
She says,
"I'm going to be frank, Ben."

88
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:37,022
Then out it comes, something
mean and terrible about me

89
00:06:37,147 --> 00:06:39,817
or something foolish
about herself.

90
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:42,903
I'll be foolish, Ben.

91
00:06:43,028 --> 00:06:45,114
I'm a lawyer,
your clever little lawyer,

92
00:06:45,239 --> 00:06:47,991
and I've taken over the formation
of this numbers monopoly

93
00:06:48,117 --> 00:06:53,497
to make it legal, respectable,
and... very profitable for you.

94
00:06:53,622 --> 00:06:57,292
- And I've done it for two reasons.
- What's the second reason?

95
00:06:57,418 --> 00:07:00,087
Frankly, the first is money.

96
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,342
But the second reason
is my brother.

97
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:08,637
He's 50 years old,
a man with heart trouble...

98
00:07:09,638 --> 00:07:12,808
...and when 776 hits tomorrow
and wipes out his capital,

99
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:15,436
it will wipe out his life.

100
00:07:15,561 --> 00:07:17,980
He'll turn white and die...

101
00:07:19,690 --> 00:07:22,526
...ashamed to be old and broke.

102
00:07:22,651 --> 00:07:24,486
That's my problem.

103
00:07:24,611 --> 00:07:26,447
He won't come into the combination
unless I force him,

104
00:07:26,572 --> 00:07:28,782
and I can't force him
unless I tell him about 776.

105
00:07:29,408 --> 00:07:31,243
You'll tell him
nothing of the kind.

106
00:07:31,368 --> 00:07:34,788
- It's the only way, Ben!
- It's the only way to ruin us! No!

107
00:07:34,913 --> 00:07:37,082
- I tell you, it's safe!
- No!

108
00:07:37,791 --> 00:07:41,295
You'd better not go up
and see your brother at all.

109
00:07:45,424 --> 00:07:49,261
Now, look, Joe,
let's get the picture clear.

110
00:07:49,386 --> 00:07:51,430
Tomorrow's the 4th of July,

111
00:07:51,555 --> 00:07:53,557
the one day in the year
when there's a superstition

112
00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:56,477
to bet one number, 776.

113
00:07:56,602 --> 00:07:58,937
Tomorrow, the nickels and dimes
and pennies of every sucker

114
00:07:59,062 --> 00:08:01,899
goes on 776, right?

115
00:08:02,024 --> 00:08:03,525
That's right.

116
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:08,280
Now, we're fixing
that number to hit,

117
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:10,491
and the bankers
are gonna go broke

118
00:08:10,616 --> 00:08:13,619
because they got no distribution
on the betting.

119
00:08:14,828 --> 00:08:17,080
You know, I didn't have to invest
all this money, Joe.

120
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:19,291
I could have called in
my ex-beer partner Ficco

121
00:08:19,416 --> 00:08:22,419
with his handful of Chicago shooters
and just taken all those banks.

122
00:08:22,544 --> 00:08:24,880
Like I did beer in '27.

123
00:08:25,005 --> 00:08:27,174
But you, you said no.

124
00:08:27,299 --> 00:08:29,301
You're my smart lawyer.

125
00:08:29,426 --> 00:08:30,928
- Right?
- That's right.

126
00:08:31,053 --> 00:08:33,138
You said you were trying
to work up public sentiment

127
00:08:33,263 --> 00:08:36,016
to get a law passed
making numbers a legal lottery,

128
00:08:36,141 --> 00:08:39,895
like lotteries are in Ireland or Cuba
or like race track betting is here,

129
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:42,773
and that any rough stuff
would kill the chance dead.

130
00:08:42,898 --> 00:08:44,691
And I said "All right, Joe."

131
00:08:44,816 --> 00:08:46,318
- Right?
- Right.

132
00:08:46,443 --> 00:08:49,613
I can't help it if you have a problem
with an older brother, Joe.

133
00:08:49,738 --> 00:08:53,492
I can't risk 200,000 dollars
for sentimental reasons.

134
00:08:53,617 --> 00:08:55,786
Don't worry
about your brother, Joe.

135
00:08:55,911 --> 00:08:57,412
He won't die of heart failure

136
00:08:57,538 --> 00:08:59,706
as long as he remembers
he has a rich brother.

137
00:08:59,831 --> 00:09:02,167
Rich relatives are better
than doctors or medicine.

138
00:09:02,292 --> 00:09:05,170
- OK, Ben, OK.
- And just remember, Joe,

139
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:08,340
you and I are the only ones
who know about 776.

140
00:09:08,465 --> 00:09:09,883
I have no reason
to tell anybody.

141
00:09:10,008 --> 00:09:13,971
- Don't you trust me?
- Of course I trust you, Joe.

142
00:09:14,096 --> 00:09:16,557
I just want you to know
how worried I am.

143
00:09:35,617 --> 00:09:37,452
Got a match, mister?

144
00:09:38,620 --> 00:09:40,122
Keep them.

145
00:09:41,331 --> 00:09:44,334
'I hadn't seen
my brother Leo for years,

146
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:46,878
'and here he was,
back in the slums

147
00:09:47,004 --> 00:09:48,755
'where we were born.

148
00:09:50,757 --> 00:09:52,259
'He ran a small numbers bank

149
00:09:52,384 --> 00:09:55,554
'the way another man
runs a restaurant or bar.

150
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,849
'These collection offices
were called banks,

151
00:09:58,974 --> 00:10:02,728
'and they were like banks
because money was deposited there.

152
00:10:02,853 --> 00:10:05,939
'They were unlike banks because
the chances of getting money out

153
00:10:06,064 --> 00:10:08,650
'were 1,000 to 1.

154
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:11,278
'These were the odds
against winning.'

155
00:10:11,403 --> 00:10:12,738
What do you want, mister?

156
00:10:12,863 --> 00:10:15,115
I would like to see my brother,
Leo Morse.

157
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,075
I'm Joe Morse.

158
00:10:24,750 --> 00:10:27,586
'The banks were located
behind poolrooms,

159
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:32,674
'in lofts, cellars, or hidden
in slum apartments like Leo's.'

160
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:34,968
Wait here a minute.

161
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:40,891
(Man) Big play on 776 today.

162
00:10:41,016 --> 00:10:44,436
People got a superstition
to play it every 4th of July.

163
00:10:44,561 --> 00:10:46,980
The old liberty number...
never hits.

164
00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:49,107
Mr Morse, there's a man
outside to see you

165
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:51,318
who says he's your brother.

166
00:10:51,443 --> 00:10:52,944
My brother?
What does he look like?

167
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:57,240
Like a firecracker, you dope...
like your brother.

168
00:11:00,077 --> 00:11:03,497
- How are you, Leo?
- What do you want, Joe?

169
00:11:03,622 --> 00:11:07,626
I came to see you, Leo.
Do I need a particular reason?

170
00:11:07,751 --> 00:11:10,587
You wouldn't come around here
if you didn't have a particular reason.

171
00:11:10,712 --> 00:11:12,214
What's the difference?
We're brothers.

172
00:11:13,340 --> 00:11:15,759
Is it a social visit
or a business visit?

173
00:11:15,884 --> 00:11:17,928
I haven't seen you
in an age.

174
00:11:18,053 --> 00:11:19,346
What is it? I'm busy.

175
00:11:19,471 --> 00:11:23,684
Leo, I've come to take you
out of this air shaft

176
00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:25,811
and put you in a real office
in a real business

177
00:11:25,936 --> 00:11:27,771
to pay you back for everything
because you're my older brother.

178
00:11:27,896 --> 00:11:30,691
- That's why I'm here.
- Come around after I'm dead.

179
00:11:30,816 --> 00:11:32,526
I had to fight to get
this proposition for you, Leo.

180
00:11:32,651 --> 00:11:34,778
I had to stick my neck way out.
Now, you listen to me!

181
00:11:35,445 --> 00:11:37,572
Something very serious is about
to happen to your business.

182
00:11:37,698 --> 00:11:41,535
You're one of 20 or 30 numbers banks
in the city, one of the smaller ones.

183
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:44,079
Suppose a combine moves in.

184
00:11:44,204 --> 00:11:47,332
Suppose it organizes
and merges these banks,

185
00:11:47,457 --> 00:11:49,376
eliminating the little ones,
like yours.

186
00:11:49,501 --> 00:11:51,253
You're listening now, aren't you?

187
00:11:51,378 --> 00:11:54,256
Suppose it reduces the overhead,
legal fees, bail bonds.

188
00:11:54,381 --> 00:11:56,800
Supposing it reduces the cost
and guarantees the profits.

189
00:11:56,925 --> 00:11:58,593
A man like you would be
out of business, wouldn't you?

190
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:00,804
You couldn't compete, could you?

191
00:12:00,929 --> 00:12:02,681
But suppose you had a brother

192
00:12:02,806 --> 00:12:04,975
and this brother made your bank
the number one bank

193
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,978
in the combination, in the merger,
in the corporation.

194
00:12:08,103 --> 00:12:09,604
What corporation?
Tucker?

195
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:11,773
- (Knock on door)
- Come in.

196
00:12:17,529 --> 00:12:20,866
I've got the tickets
for the winners, Mr Morse.

197
00:12:20,991 --> 00:12:25,078
And what does this corporation
expect from me, brother Joe?

198
00:12:25,203 --> 00:12:28,165
In return for the organization...

199
00:12:28,623 --> 00:12:32,002
I have no secrets from Doris.
If you want to talk, talk. If not, go.

200
00:12:32,836 --> 00:12:34,504
In return for the organization
and service,

201
00:12:34,629 --> 00:12:36,131
in return for taking you
into the combination,

202
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:38,592
the corporation gets 2/3 of the profits
and you get 1/3...

203
00:12:38,717 --> 00:12:42,179
2/3 for Tucker, brother Joe,
and 1/3 for me, for my own business?

204
00:12:43,013 --> 00:12:44,890
Do you know what that is, Joe?
Blackmail!

205
00:12:45,015 --> 00:12:46,767
That's what it is!
Blackmail!

206
00:12:46,892 --> 00:12:48,727
My own brother blackmailing me!

207
00:12:48,852 --> 00:12:50,687
You're crazy!
You're absolutely crazy mad!

208
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:52,063
- You're not listening to me!
- I don't want it!

209
00:12:52,189 --> 00:12:53,690
You know why you don't want it?
I'll tell you why,

210
00:12:53,815 --> 00:12:55,317
because you're a small man.

211
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:57,027
Because if it's a small thing,
you're a tiger.

212
00:12:57,152 --> 00:12:59,613
But if it's a big thing, you shout
and yell and call me names.

213
00:12:59,738 --> 00:13:01,406
"Oh, no, a million dollars for Leo?

214
00:13:01,531 --> 00:13:02,574
"Oh, no, must be the wrong address.

215
00:13:02,699 --> 00:13:04,034
"It must be somebody next door."

216
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:05,327
The answer is no!

217
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:07,287
You understand your "no" won't stop
the merging of these banks,

218
00:13:07,412 --> 00:13:09,164
yours included!

219
00:13:10,457 --> 00:13:13,126
Leo, Leo, this is your chance,
the one I got for you.

220
00:13:13,251 --> 00:13:15,003
You take your chance, Joe,
and get out of here.

221
00:13:15,128 --> 00:13:16,213
I'm an honest man here,

222
00:13:16,338 --> 00:13:19,174
not a gangster
with that gangster Tucker!

223
00:13:20,091 --> 00:13:21,760
Are you telling me,
a corporation lawyer,

224
00:13:21,885 --> 00:13:24,387
that you're running
a legitimate business here?

225
00:13:27,682 --> 00:13:28,767
What do you call this?

226
00:13:28,892 --> 00:13:31,102
Payoffs for gambling.
An illegal lottery. Policy.

227
00:13:31,228 --> 00:13:34,105
Violation 974 of the penal code.
Policy. The numbers racket.

228
00:13:34,231 --> 00:13:36,233
I do my business honest
and respectable!

229
00:13:37,609 --> 00:13:40,362
Honest? Respectable?

230
00:13:40,487 --> 00:13:42,322
Don't you take the nickels,
and dimes and pennies

231
00:13:42,447 --> 00:13:44,032
from people who bet,
just like every other crook,

232
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:46,326
big or little, in this racket?
They call this racket "policy"

233
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:48,119
because people bet
their nickels on numbers

234
00:13:48,245 --> 00:13:49,996
instead of paying their weekly
insurance premium.

235
00:13:50,121 --> 00:13:51,373
That's why policy.

236
00:13:51,498 --> 00:13:52,999
That's what it is,
and that's what it's called.

237
00:13:53,124 --> 00:13:54,876
And Tucker wants to make millions,
you wanna make thousands,

238
00:13:55,001 --> 00:13:56,753
and you, you do it
for 35 dollars a week.

239
00:13:56,878 --> 00:13:59,130
But it's all the same,
all policy!

240
00:13:59,256 --> 00:14:01,383
This is my secretary,
my stenographer,

241
00:14:01,508 --> 00:14:03,093
my friend Doris Lowry.

242
00:14:03,218 --> 00:14:05,971
She's been with me a long time.
She's like a daughter to me.

243
00:14:06,096 --> 00:14:07,931
And you...

244
00:14:08,056 --> 00:14:10,308
I wanted to be the lawyer,
and I could have been the lawyer

245
00:14:10,433 --> 00:14:12,769
if I threw you out of the house
when our parents died.

246
00:14:12,894 --> 00:14:14,855
But, no, I worked
for you like a fool.

247
00:14:14,980 --> 00:14:16,731
For you!
And I gave you everything!

248
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,776
Why do you talk this way
to me in front of strangers?

249
00:14:19,901 --> 00:14:21,987
She's no stranger to me!
You're the stranger!

250
00:14:22,112 --> 00:14:24,281
And I'll tell the whole world
because you're my brother.

251
00:14:24,406 --> 00:14:26,324
And I owe it to the whole world,
because you're my brother,

252
00:14:26,449 --> 00:14:29,452
what you are: a crook
and a cheat and a gangster.

253
00:14:29,578 --> 00:14:30,996
Leo, be calm.

254
00:14:31,121 --> 00:14:32,789
Tucker will make you honest,
Tucker will make you respectable.

255
00:14:32,914 --> 00:14:34,249
He's giving me a quarter
of a million dollars

256
00:14:34,374 --> 00:14:36,209
to create public sentiment
to make policy legal,

257
00:14:36,334 --> 00:14:38,086
like bingo, bango,
and the Irish sweepstakes.

258
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,297
I'm paying you back, Leo.
I'll make you rich,

259
00:14:40,422 --> 00:14:42,841
with an office on Wall Street
up in the clouds!

260
00:14:42,966 --> 00:14:44,968
Be calm, Leo.
Be sensible.

261
00:14:45,093 --> 00:14:48,763
All right. I am sensible.
I am calm.

262
00:14:48,889 --> 00:14:50,640
I'll give you my answer
calmly and sensibly.

263
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,768
My final answer.
My final answer is finally no.

264
00:14:53,894 --> 00:14:56,771
The answer is no,
absolutely and finally no.

265
00:14:56,897 --> 00:14:58,440
Finally and positively no!

266
00:14:58,565 --> 00:14:59,816
No! No! No!

267
00:14:59,941 --> 00:15:01,610
N-O!

268
00:15:11,536 --> 00:15:15,206
Bunte, this is Morse.
Are you clean? Can I talk?

269
00:15:15,332 --> 00:15:16,833
I want you to get a tip in
to the police

270
00:15:16,958 --> 00:15:19,586
so they throw a raid
into my brother's bank.

271
00:15:19,711 --> 00:15:21,212
I'll take the responsibility.

272
00:15:21,338 --> 00:15:23,089
I want this done right away,
this afternoon.

273
00:15:23,214 --> 00:15:25,216
I want my brother to know
that Tucker is running policy.

274
00:15:25,342 --> 00:15:27,177
I wanna force him in.

275
00:15:28,511 --> 00:15:29,846
I'm on the street.

276
00:15:29,971 --> 00:15:31,723
Let's not make a big spiel
out of this.

277
00:15:31,848 --> 00:15:35,769
I want my brother kept in jail
till I get him out.

278
00:15:37,479 --> 00:15:38,813
Going home, Doris?

279
00:15:38,939 --> 00:15:41,524
Yes, Mr Morse, but I wanted
to talk to you first if I could.

280
00:15:41,650 --> 00:15:42,734
About what?

281
00:15:42,859 --> 00:15:45,111
Well, that's not very easy
to say, Mr Morse.

282
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:46,404
It's not very easy to say.

283
00:15:46,529 --> 00:15:49,282
I've been thinking
about it all afternoon.

284
00:15:49,407 --> 00:15:51,326
If there's something
you want to say, say it, Doris.

285
00:15:51,451 --> 00:15:53,495
Well, I just wanted to say that...

286
00:15:53,620 --> 00:15:55,789
You know I'm grateful for everything
you've done for me.

287
00:15:55,914 --> 00:15:57,332
You know that, don't you?

288
00:15:57,457 --> 00:15:59,042
You sound so sad.
Is there something wrong?

289
00:15:59,167 --> 00:16:00,168
Has something happened?

290
00:16:00,293 --> 00:16:02,629
I haven't forgotten that you gave me
my first job, Mr Morse.

291
00:16:02,754 --> 00:16:04,255
Believe me,
I haven't forgotten it.

292
00:16:04,381 --> 00:16:06,633
And I haven't forgotten how,
when times were bad

293
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:09,803
And you had no money to take home,
I always had my salary.

294
00:16:09,928 --> 00:16:11,262
I haven't forgotten that.

295
00:16:12,597 --> 00:16:14,140
You sound as though
you were leaving me, Doris.

296
00:16:14,265 --> 00:16:16,518
No, Mr Morse,
I'm not leaving you.

297
00:16:16,643 --> 00:16:19,145
There's nothing I wouldn't do
for you or Mrs Morse.

298
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:21,773
You've both been so kind.

299
00:16:21,898 --> 00:16:23,316
But I'm leaving this job.

300
00:16:23,441 --> 00:16:25,860
Something my brother said
upset you.

301
00:16:25,986 --> 00:16:28,571
Black sheep like to make
everybody else look black.

302
00:16:28,697 --> 00:16:31,866
That's right, and it's very easy
when they are black.

303
00:16:34,285 --> 00:16:36,121
But I'm only here to say
that all afternoon

304
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:37,998
I've been thinking
that's the way I feel now,

305
00:16:38,123 --> 00:16:40,125
and I simply can't work here
anymore, Mr Morse.

306
00:16:40,250 --> 00:16:43,044
- I simply can't. I have to leave.
- Then leave.

307
00:16:43,169 --> 00:16:46,297
Then quit.
You're young, Doris.

308
00:16:46,423 --> 00:16:48,008
You'll discover as you grow older

309
00:16:48,133 --> 00:16:50,468
that sometimes a man does things
he'd prefer not to do.

310
00:16:50,593 --> 00:16:52,762
I'm not trying to say
anything about you, Mr Morse.

311
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:58,059
I'm only talking about myself
and why I feel I can't stay here.

312
00:16:58,184 --> 00:16:59,686
Then leave.

313
00:17:03,606 --> 00:17:06,609
I'm sorry, Mr Morse.

314
00:17:06,735 --> 00:17:09,070
Thanks for the tears.

315
00:17:12,198 --> 00:17:14,784
That Mr Morse's brother
is Tucker's lawyer,

316
00:17:14,909 --> 00:17:16,327
isn't he, Mr Bauer?

317
00:17:16,453 --> 00:17:18,705
He's worse.
He's Tucker's brains.

318
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:19,998
(Screams)

319
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:23,334
- That's Tucker's brains.
- What are you talking about?

320
00:17:23,460 --> 00:17:25,295
(Knock on door)

321
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,298
- Who is it?
- Open up. The police.

322
00:17:30,675 --> 00:17:32,010
(Officer) Go on! Open up!

323
00:17:33,428 --> 00:17:34,471
(Man) Hey!

324
00:17:34,596 --> 00:17:36,097
Stay where you are!
Don't anybody move.

325
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:42,270
The other door!

326
00:17:44,064 --> 00:17:45,565
Open up!

327
00:17:46,232 --> 00:17:47,734
Open up!

328
00:17:49,778 --> 00:17:52,113
(Glass shattering)

329
00:17:52,238 --> 00:17:53,740
Open up!

330
00:17:54,949 --> 00:17:58,453
- What's going on here?
- Sorry, Mr Morse.

331
00:17:58,578 --> 00:18:00,497
You did that too late.

332
00:18:00,622 --> 00:18:02,791
Everybody gone crazy all of a sudden?
Who sent you?

333
00:18:02,916 --> 00:18:05,251
We got a warrant,
violation 974.

334
00:18:05,376 --> 00:18:07,170
Milletti's office.

335
00:18:08,421 --> 00:18:10,507
- (Woman) What's going on, Mr Morse?
- That's all right. Take it easy.

336
00:18:10,632 --> 00:18:12,634
Take it easy now.
It'll be all right.

337
00:18:15,595 --> 00:18:16,846
(Officer) Now listen, everybody.

338
00:18:16,971 --> 00:18:19,390
We're going downstairs quietly,
you understand? In single file.

339
00:18:19,516 --> 00:18:21,017
There's a patrol wagon
at the curb.

340
00:18:21,142 --> 00:18:22,477
Who are you calling, Mr Morse?

341
00:18:22,602 --> 00:18:25,021
Hello! Hello!
Ruddy, please. Leo Morse.

342
00:18:25,146 --> 00:18:27,148
Who do you think
you're pushing around here?

343
00:18:27,273 --> 00:18:29,109
Ruddy? Guess what.

344
00:18:29,234 --> 00:18:31,319
The whole place
is full of police.

345
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:33,863
No, they dropped in for tea!

346
00:18:33,988 --> 00:18:35,657
Never mind.

347
00:18:35,782 --> 00:18:38,451
I'm taking it easy!
Milletti, yes!

348
00:18:38,576 --> 00:18:41,746
Where are your handcuffs?
My lawyer will meet us with a key.

349
00:18:41,871 --> 00:18:43,540
This lady was just visiting here
to see a friend.

350
00:18:43,665 --> 00:18:46,292
- She doesn't work for me.
- That's got nothing to do with me.

351
00:18:46,417 --> 00:18:48,586
Please, Mr Lieutenant,
I can't ride in the patrol wagon.

352
00:18:48,711 --> 00:18:50,713
It's too narrow,
and it's too dark!

353
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:53,842
Don't put him in the patrol wagon.
Put him in a taxi, I'll pay the fare.

354
00:18:53,967 --> 00:18:55,969
Taxi? We're not going
to a dance, Mr Morse.

355
00:18:56,094 --> 00:18:58,138
The wagon's no good for him.
He's a sick man.

356
00:18:58,263 --> 00:19:00,390
- He's got a complex.
- Claustrophobia.

357
00:19:00,515 --> 00:19:02,183
I can't help it, I got it!

358
00:19:02,308 --> 00:19:04,561
When he was a taxi driver,
his cab fell in the river with him.

359
00:19:04,686 --> 00:19:06,771
He got a disease
under the water, a fear.

360
00:19:06,896 --> 00:19:09,482
He can't stand being cramped
in a small, dark space.

361
00:19:09,607 --> 00:19:12,360
He should have thought of that
before he began committing violations.

362
00:19:12,485 --> 00:19:15,029
We'll let him ride up front
in the open. Come on.

363
00:19:16,781 --> 00:19:19,284
Don't give your right name so
your mother won't read it in the paper.

364
00:19:19,409 --> 00:19:21,244
Oh, please, Mr Morse.

365
00:19:24,289 --> 00:19:27,041
Mary, what took you
so long to answer?

366
00:19:27,167 --> 00:19:29,002
Has my brother called yet?

367
00:19:29,127 --> 00:19:30,962
Well, he will, the dumb mule.

368
00:19:31,087 --> 00:19:34,424
No, I'm still at Tucker's apartment.
I'll be here.

369
00:19:34,549 --> 00:19:35,967
Yes.

370
00:19:37,051 --> 00:19:40,138
- Nothing yet, Joe?
- No, Ben, nothing yet.

371
00:19:41,764 --> 00:19:43,016
But he'll call.

372
00:19:43,141 --> 00:19:46,227
The spot I put him in,
where else can he go for help?

373
00:19:46,352 --> 00:19:49,355
- Let's get on with this.
- Sit down.

374
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,733
I've got 25,000 dollars for you
to play with, two and two.

375
00:19:51,858 --> 00:19:53,693
- Will that be enough?
- You'll get change.

376
00:19:53,818 --> 00:19:55,403
Does he know exactly
what he has to do?

377
00:19:55,528 --> 00:19:58,031
I been telling him all day.
He knows it like a poem.

378
00:19:58,156 --> 00:19:59,574
What number do we wanna hit?

379
00:19:59,699 --> 00:20:04,537
776. Don't worry, Mr Morse.
It will come out 776.

380
00:20:04,662 --> 00:20:07,832
One: I throw in the last layoff bet
on the third race.

381
00:20:07,957 --> 00:20:11,127
Johnson's lined up the tote clerks
to help me there.

382
00:20:11,252 --> 00:20:14,088
Two: I throw in enough of a bet
to make the last three digits

383
00:20:14,214 --> 00:20:17,800
on the odds pay-off
come out 7, 7, and 6.

384
00:20:18,801 --> 00:20:21,638
Three: all the change that's left over
from the 25 you give me,

385
00:20:21,763 --> 00:20:25,391
I give back to Johnson,
or I'm in trouble with Johnson.

386
00:20:25,516 --> 00:20:27,977
Four: the minute it's 776
on the tote board,

387
00:20:28,102 --> 00:20:30,438
I check in at Mr Morse's
telephone number,

388
00:20:30,563 --> 00:20:34,692
bowling green 75432.

389
00:20:34,817 --> 00:20:38,488
Five: I meet Johnson at his office
9 o'clock tomorrow night

390
00:20:38,613 --> 00:20:40,114
and get paid.

391
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,075
- (Joe) And the telling. The telling.
- I swear on my grave, the bible,

392
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,619
I tell nobody nothing
and forget how I did it,

393
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:46,537
or I'm in trouble with Johnson.

394
00:20:46,663 --> 00:20:48,164
(Joe) Fine.

395
00:20:49,207 --> 00:20:51,584
Give me the totals on this.

396
00:20:56,214 --> 00:20:58,716
784,324.

397
00:20:59,384 --> 00:21:03,388
- Say that again, will you?
- 784,324.

398
00:21:06,808 --> 00:21:08,559
I was wondering, Ben.

399
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:11,062
Everybody downtown
is walking around on tiptoe,

400
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:12,605
and I was wondering

401
00:21:12,730 --> 00:21:15,066
if we couldn't ease up a little
on this thing for the time being.

402
00:21:15,191 --> 00:21:19,362
Look, Bunte, you look after the politics,
I'll take care of the business.

403
00:21:19,487 --> 00:21:20,989
It's a normal operation.

404
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:24,117
776 will hit tomorrow
because Taylor makes it hit.

405
00:21:24,242 --> 00:21:27,328
Tomorrow night, every bank
in the city is broken,

406
00:21:28,997 --> 00:21:30,832
And we step in and lend money
to those we want

407
00:21:30,957 --> 00:21:33,042
while we let the rest
go to the wall.

408
00:21:36,212 --> 00:21:38,464
We're normal financiers.

409
00:21:38,589 --> 00:21:43,011
Nothing's normal downtown since
the governor set Hall up in business.

410
00:21:49,809 --> 00:21:52,145
(Tucker) Does he get the cigar?

411
00:21:52,854 --> 00:21:55,064
Hmm. He gets the cigar.

412
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,903
Ben, I'll call night court again.

413
00:22:02,989 --> 00:22:04,991
How do you do a thing like this?

414
00:22:05,116 --> 00:22:07,243
I was born that way,
like a man with two heads

415
00:22:07,368 --> 00:22:10,455
or a dope with a million bucks.
It's my gift.

416
00:22:19,881 --> 00:22:22,216
'Oakhurst station house.
Sergeant Denute speaking.'

417
00:22:22,342 --> 00:22:24,677
This is Joe Morse.
Is my brother there?

418
00:22:24,802 --> 00:22:26,804
'Yes, Mr Morse.
We have the pleasure of his company.'

419
00:22:26,929 --> 00:22:30,099
- Put him on the phone.
- 'It's irregular to without...'

420
00:22:30,224 --> 00:22:33,311
- Well, see if you can, please.
- 'One minute, Mr Morse.'

421
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,777
- 'Hello?'
- Hello?

422
00:22:40,902 --> 00:22:42,653
'He says
he don't wanna talk to you.'

423
00:22:42,779 --> 00:22:44,280
Tell him I wanna help
get him out of there.

424
00:22:44,405 --> 00:22:47,241
- Tell him I wanna talk to him.
- 'One minute, please.'

425
00:22:51,871 --> 00:22:54,665
Sometimes you act
like a human being,

426
00:22:54,791 --> 00:22:56,959
Like a person who worries.

427
00:22:57,835 --> 00:22:59,837
You're wide open, Joe.

428
00:22:59,962 --> 00:23:01,589
I can see into you
without looking.

429
00:23:01,714 --> 00:23:04,634
Don't bother.
Besides, it's not nice to do.

430
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:08,179
More interesting than when you have
a rock for a husband, like mine.

431
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:09,972
He's a stone, that man.

432
00:23:10,098 --> 00:23:12,350
Whole world are rocks
and stones to him.

433
00:23:12,475 --> 00:23:14,727
Why tell me? Tell him.

434
00:23:14,852 --> 00:23:16,854
Never tell him anything.

435
00:23:16,979 --> 00:23:18,398
Makes me feel unnecessary.

436
00:23:18,523 --> 00:23:21,692
If I make you feel necessary,
then I'm making a mistake.

437
00:23:21,818 --> 00:23:22,985
- 'Hello, Mr Morse?'
- Well?

438
00:23:23,111 --> 00:23:27,532
'Well, Mr Morse, your brother says
write him a letter.'

439
00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:32,078
I oughta let him rot in there.

440
00:23:32,203 --> 00:23:35,039
At least a woman could tell
whether you were happy or sad.

441
00:23:35,164 --> 00:23:36,916
She could be happy
or sad with you.

442
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:39,877
Just because I'm killing myself
over that dumb brother of mine

443
00:23:40,002 --> 00:23:43,339
doesn't mean I'm ready to die
for anyone else.

444
00:23:55,726 --> 00:23:59,981
- Where can I call home?
- Right around the corner, lady.

445
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,614
All that Cain did to Abel
was murder him.

446
00:24:08,739 --> 00:24:09,907
I had nothing to do with it.

447
00:24:10,032 --> 00:24:12,994
All right, you didn't,
but thanks for paying my fine

448
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,788
and unlocking me with the same key
you used to lock me up with.

449
00:24:15,913 --> 00:24:18,416
After tonight, Leo, it will be too late.
Too late, I tell you.

450
00:24:18,541 --> 00:24:20,209
I'll tell you something more, Joe.

451
00:24:20,334 --> 00:24:23,296
You opened my eyes tonight,
and the police opened them further.

452
00:24:23,421 --> 00:24:25,173
I'm closing up after tomorrow.

453
00:24:25,298 --> 00:24:27,967
I'm taking my capital and getting out.
I'm through, I'm finished.

454
00:24:28,092 --> 00:24:29,260
Then get out tonight.

455
00:24:29,385 --> 00:24:30,887
Close up tonight.
Don't wait for tomorrow.

456
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:33,014
I'm not that big a crook.

457
00:24:33,139 --> 00:24:35,391
People have bets in my bank.
That's a debt.

458
00:24:35,516 --> 00:24:37,518
I'll pay off what I owe tomorrow,
whatever it is,

459
00:24:37,643 --> 00:24:38,978
and then I'm finished.

460
00:24:39,103 --> 00:24:41,189
I'll be able to look in the mirror
and see my face, not yours.

461
00:24:41,314 --> 00:24:43,649
Leo, I'm trying to help you.

462
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:45,026
Cup of coffee
and a glass of milk.

463
00:24:45,151 --> 00:24:47,403
- Coffee's cold, sir.
- It's a hot night anyway.

464
00:24:47,528 --> 00:24:50,031
I'll have 10, 15,000 dollars
for my capital.

465
00:24:50,156 --> 00:24:51,574
That's all the help I'll need,

466
00:24:51,699 --> 00:24:52,867
but there is one thing
you can do.

467
00:24:52,992 --> 00:24:54,744
Anything, Leo,
if you'll only listen to me.

468
00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:55,953
You listen to me.

469
00:24:56,078 --> 00:24:58,247
That girl Doris,
she needs help.

470
00:24:58,372 --> 00:24:59,790
She quit just before the raid.

471
00:24:59,916 --> 00:25:02,460
You tipped off the police to
on my bank.

472
00:25:02,585 --> 00:25:04,587
And now, like the rest of us,
she's got a misdemeanor

473
00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:06,380
and a fine against her.

474
00:25:06,506 --> 00:25:09,091
She's lost her references,
and it's all your fault.

475
00:25:09,217 --> 00:25:11,052
You've got fancy friends
down on Wall Street.

476
00:25:11,177 --> 00:25:13,596
She's a good secretary.
Get her a job.

477
00:25:14,472 --> 00:25:16,390
I'll thank you for that,
for her, not for me.

478
00:25:16,516 --> 00:25:19,602
All right, I'll do that,
but if anything happens, Leo...

479
00:25:19,727 --> 00:25:22,063
What could happen
that I would need your help?

480
00:25:25,149 --> 00:25:26,901
Oh, I better see Bauer home.

481
00:25:40,665 --> 00:25:43,167
- Would you like a lift, Miss Lowry?
- No.

482
00:25:43,292 --> 00:25:44,794
What am I around here,
a leper?

483
00:25:44,919 --> 00:25:48,422
Just like the rest of us, Mr Morse,
only they haven't caught up with you yet.

484
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:50,800
I got you all out.
I paid your fines.

485
00:25:50,925 --> 00:25:52,760
What do you want
of me, Mr Morse?

486
00:25:52,885 --> 00:25:54,554
I've got my whole life
to think about now,

487
00:25:54,679 --> 00:25:56,430
- and you won't be of any help.
- How do you know?

488
00:25:56,556 --> 00:25:58,474
You know, everything I touch
turns to gold.

489
00:25:58,599 --> 00:26:00,893
It's raining out, and I promised
my brother to take you home.

490
00:26:01,018 --> 00:26:02,019
Well, that's a lie.

491
00:26:02,144 --> 00:26:04,313
Well, it's not true,
but I would have had he asked.

492
00:26:04,438 --> 00:26:07,024
You know, you can't tell about your life
till you're all through living it.

493
00:26:07,149 --> 00:26:09,235
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
You're tired, I'm tired.

494
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:11,946
What can happen
to either one of us?

495
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:13,614
You tell me
the story of your life,

496
00:26:13,739 --> 00:26:16,909
and maybe I can suggest
a happy ending.

497
00:26:22,331 --> 00:26:24,166
I went to a business college
for ten weeks

498
00:26:24,292 --> 00:26:26,752
because my mother
wanted to give me advantages.

499
00:26:26,877 --> 00:26:31,090
- You have many advantages, Doris.
- So did you.

500
00:26:31,215 --> 00:26:32,717
I've known Leo
since I was 13.

501
00:26:32,842 --> 00:26:34,427
I've heard about you
since then.

502
00:26:34,552 --> 00:26:35,970
What did you hear?

503
00:26:36,095 --> 00:26:40,641
Oh, story of the prodigal brother
who never came home,

504
00:26:40,766 --> 00:26:44,103
how much Leo did for you,
how little you did for yourself,

505
00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:46,355
the wild boy in the streets,

506
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,568
the wild man who said
he was a wildcat in the jungle.

507
00:26:50,693 --> 00:26:52,528
That's what I heard.

508
00:26:53,613 --> 00:26:55,865
Your brother kept me on
even when business was bad.

509
00:26:55,990 --> 00:26:57,491
I guess that's why
I pretended to believe

510
00:26:57,617 --> 00:26:58,868
what he pretended to believe:

511
00:26:58,993 --> 00:27:01,662
that running a lottery
was not so bad.

512
00:27:01,787 --> 00:27:04,373
Now my name's in a book,
my fingerprints are in a file,

513
00:27:04,498 --> 00:27:07,918
and no matter how long I live,
people will remember and know it.

514
00:27:08,044 --> 00:27:10,713
And I'll remember and know it.

515
00:27:10,838 --> 00:27:11,922
Oh, I'll know it.

516
00:27:12,048 --> 00:27:13,883
Forget it. You were just
a telephone caller,

517
00:27:14,008 --> 00:27:17,595
came into the police station
and it was a wrong number.

518
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,306
How does it feel
to be a wrong number, Miss Lowry?

519
00:27:20,431 --> 00:27:22,933
Not very nice, Mr Morse.

520
00:27:23,601 --> 00:27:24,769
Not very nice.

521
00:27:24,894 --> 00:27:27,897
Blame me, blame me.
Everybody does.

522
00:27:29,482 --> 00:27:30,983
They do.

523
00:27:40,326 --> 00:27:41,827
Keep the change.

524
00:27:47,500 --> 00:27:50,670
You're a strange man
and a very evil one.

525
00:27:50,795 --> 00:27:53,798
And you're a sweet child
and you want me to be wicked to you.

526
00:27:53,923 --> 00:27:55,341
Now what are you talking about?

527
00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:57,385
Because you're wicked,
really wicked.

528
00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:59,637
What are you talking
so crazy for, Mr Morse?

529
00:27:59,762 --> 00:28:02,014
Because you're squirming for me
to do something wicked to you.

530
00:28:02,139 --> 00:28:04,558
Make a pass for you,
bowl you over, sweep you up,

531
00:28:04,684 --> 00:28:08,521
take the childishness out of you,
and give you money and sin.

532
00:28:08,646 --> 00:28:10,064
That's real wickedness.

533
00:28:10,189 --> 00:28:13,442
What are you trying
to make me think, Mr Morse?

534
00:28:13,567 --> 00:28:16,404
What are you trying
to make me think about myself...

535
00:28:17,071 --> 00:28:18,572
...and you?

536
00:28:19,365 --> 00:28:20,866
Do you know
what wickedness is?

537
00:28:20,991 --> 00:28:23,703
If I put my hand in my pocket
and gave you a ruby,

538
00:28:23,828 --> 00:28:26,038
a million-dollar ruby for nothing,

539
00:28:26,163 --> 00:28:29,667
because you're beautiful
and a child with advantages

540
00:28:29,792 --> 00:28:33,629
and because I wanted to give it to you
without taking anything for myself...

541
00:28:34,004 --> 00:28:35,673
Would that be wicked?

542
00:28:35,798 --> 00:28:37,883
Have you got one?

543
00:28:38,008 --> 00:28:39,510
No.

544
00:28:42,263 --> 00:28:45,099
You know, when I was a little girl,
magicians used to fool me, Mr Morse,

545
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:48,394
with their high hats and their black capes
and their ruby rings

546
00:28:48,519 --> 00:28:50,688
because I listened to what they said,
they talked so fast,

547
00:28:50,813 --> 00:28:53,023
instead of watching
what they did.

548
00:28:53,149 --> 00:28:55,985
But I'm a big girl now
with a police record, thanks to you,

549
00:28:56,110 --> 00:28:59,613
and I know it's not wicked
to give and want nothing back.

550
00:28:59,739 --> 00:29:01,824
It's perversion.
Don't you see what it is?

551
00:29:01,949 --> 00:29:03,451
It's not natural.

552
00:29:03,576 --> 00:29:05,578
To go to great expense
for something you want,

553
00:29:05,703 --> 00:29:07,204
that's natural.

554
00:29:07,329 --> 00:29:10,416
To reach out to take it,
that's human, that's natural.

555
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:13,294
But to get your pleasure
from not taking,

556
00:29:13,419 --> 00:29:16,005
from cheating yourself deliberately
like my brother did today,

557
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:18,466
from not getting,
from not taking...

558
00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:22,678
...don't you see what a black thing
that is for a man to do?

559
00:29:22,803 --> 00:29:26,807
How it is to hate yourself
and your brother,

560
00:29:26,932 --> 00:29:31,270
make him feel that he's guilty,
that... that I'm guilty?

561
00:29:31,395 --> 00:29:34,148
Just to live and be guilty.

562
00:29:42,198 --> 00:29:46,452
'July 4th, Independence Day,
was a normal day at the race track.

563
00:29:47,203 --> 00:29:49,955
'Some horses won,
some horses lost.

564
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,000
'The sun shone equally
on the rich and the poor,

565
00:29:53,125 --> 00:29:57,129
'but for Tucker and me,
a million-dollar business was at stake.

566
00:30:06,806 --> 00:30:08,974
'The numbers banks
exploded into bankruptcy

567
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:10,518
'as the lucky players won.

568
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:13,103
'But I had a last proposition
for my brother

569
00:30:13,229 --> 00:30:15,648
'to save his money,
to save his life,

570
00:30:15,773 --> 00:30:17,441
'to clear my conscience.

571
00:30:17,566 --> 00:30:19,235
'And I went up to see him
and his wife.'

572
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,195
Hello, Sylvia.
I was in the neighborhood,

573
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,155
so I thought I'd drop in.

574
00:30:26,242 --> 00:30:27,993
Hello, Leo.

575
00:30:28,118 --> 00:30:30,704
I heard what happened today,
so I came up to tell you

576
00:30:30,830 --> 00:30:32,248
it can be the happiest day
of your life.

577
00:30:32,373 --> 00:30:34,875
You lost a crooked little peanut stand,
now you can open up on Fifth Avenue.

578
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,086
I don't know what he's got in mind,
Leo, but it's not for you.

579
00:30:37,211 --> 00:30:38,546
I'm sorry we've got no money,

580
00:30:38,671 --> 00:30:41,090
but I'm not sorry you're through
with the gambling business.

581
00:30:41,215 --> 00:30:42,883
You never listen to me, Leo.
Listen to me now.

582
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,511
- What's your advice, Sylvia?
- (Sylvia) You're a thief.

583
00:30:45,636 --> 00:30:47,805
A thief's advice is no good.

584
00:30:47,930 --> 00:30:49,765
Listen, Leo, you go down
to your business tomorrow,

585
00:30:49,890 --> 00:30:51,392
and I'll be there,
and I'll see to it

586
00:30:51,517 --> 00:30:53,352
that you get out of the business
in a couple months a rich man.

587
00:30:53,477 --> 00:30:56,146
Don't have anything to do with him, Leo.
You're a businessman.

588
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:58,107
Yes.

589
00:30:59,483 --> 00:31:01,068
I've been a businessman
all my life.

590
00:31:01,193 --> 00:31:02,528
And, honest, I don't know
what a business is.

591
00:31:02,653 --> 00:31:04,864
Well, you had a garage,
you had a real-estate business.

592
00:31:05,823 --> 00:31:08,325
A lot you know.
Real-estate business?

593
00:31:08,450 --> 00:31:11,829
Living from mortgage to mortgage,
stealing credit like a thief.

594
00:31:11,954 --> 00:31:13,956
And the garage...
That was a business.

595
00:31:14,081 --> 00:31:16,250
Three cents overcharge
on every gallon of gas,

596
00:31:16,375 --> 00:31:18,544
two cents for the chauffeur
and a penny for me.

597
00:31:18,669 --> 00:31:21,171
Penny for one thief,
two cents for the other.

598
00:31:21,297 --> 00:31:24,550
Well, Joe's here now. I won't have
to steal pennies anymore.

599
00:31:24,675 --> 00:31:28,012
I'll have big crooks
to steal dollars for me.

600
00:31:28,137 --> 00:31:30,723
I've got it fixed for you the way I said
because you're my brother.

601
00:31:30,848 --> 00:31:34,101
That's why I'm here.
To tell you it's not so bad.

602
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:36,645
Well, I'll have to go down
to the office anyway.

603
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:38,022
Why?

604
00:31:38,147 --> 00:31:40,399
Even a bankrupt
has to put his books in order.

605
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:44,570
I'll be there, Leo,
with a new set of books for you.

606
00:31:44,695 --> 00:31:46,614
All right, let's eat.

607
00:31:46,739 --> 00:31:48,741
If you're here, you might as well
sit down and have some supper.

608
00:31:48,866 --> 00:31:50,951
Thanks, I... I have a few things
to attend to.

609
00:31:51,076 --> 00:31:53,746
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night.

610
00:31:53,871 --> 00:31:55,706
Good night, Sylvia.

611
00:32:16,727 --> 00:32:18,729
Well, if it isn't Miss Lowry.

612
00:32:18,854 --> 00:32:20,356
How are you, Doris?

613
00:32:20,481 --> 00:32:22,775
You look fine in my roses.
Where are you going?

614
00:32:22,900 --> 00:32:25,402
Upstairs. I'm having dinner
with your brother and his wife.

615
00:32:25,527 --> 00:32:28,072
- I wouldn't go up there, Doris.
- Why? I go up there all the time.

616
00:32:28,197 --> 00:32:30,282
Don't you have
anything better to do?

617
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:33,077
- I'm free the rest of the night.
- Well, enjoy your freedom.

618
00:32:33,202 --> 00:32:35,621
I wouldn't interrupt them up there.
They're in the wrong mood.

619
00:32:35,746 --> 00:32:37,790
You see, I dropped
a million dollars in their laps

620
00:32:37,915 --> 00:32:40,501
- and they're learning how to count.
- They're waiting for me, Mr Morse.

621
00:32:40,626 --> 00:32:43,629
I'm in a wonderful mood, Doris,
happy, relaxed...

622
00:32:43,754 --> 00:32:46,256
Wouldn't you like to find out
how charming I am?

623
00:32:46,382 --> 00:32:48,133
Why not?

624
00:32:48,258 --> 00:32:51,011
- Now I've lost the elevator.
- I'll get you a better one.

625
00:32:51,136 --> 00:32:55,557
Wouldn't you like to celebrate
on a really large scale, Miss Lowry?

626
00:32:56,475 --> 00:32:58,394
What are you celebrating,
Mr Morse?

627
00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:00,354
- A clear conscience.
- Oh? Whose?

628
00:33:00,479 --> 00:33:04,400
- Now, don't be self-righteous, Doris.
- I don't approve of you instinctively.

629
00:33:04,525 --> 00:33:07,111
I don't approve of myself.
See? We agree.

630
00:33:07,236 --> 00:33:09,905
Come out with me, and I'll wine you
and dine you and dance you.

631
00:33:10,030 --> 00:33:13,117
And in the early hours of the morning,
when you're relaxed and tired, I'll...

632
00:33:13,575 --> 00:33:15,160
...I'll kiss you good night.

633
00:33:15,285 --> 00:33:17,287
I don't think you'd enjoy
my company, Mr Morse.

634
00:33:17,413 --> 00:33:19,498
Of course not,
but you'd enjoy mine.

635
00:33:19,623 --> 00:33:21,125
Don't say no
when you wanna say yes,

636
00:33:21,250 --> 00:33:22,334
and don't say yes
when you wanna say no.

637
00:33:22,459 --> 00:33:24,461
You're like Leo. He wanted to come
into the combination all the time

638
00:33:24,586 --> 00:33:26,755
but he wanted to be forced,
the way you do,

639
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,466
in order to maintain a moral superiority
over me, which doesn't exist.

640
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:32,136
Did you make him come into
this Tucker thing with you?

641
00:33:32,261 --> 00:33:33,512
Did you make him do that?

642
00:33:33,637 --> 00:33:36,890
I pretended to make him
and he pretended to be forced.

643
00:33:37,016 --> 00:33:38,017
Is that what you want?

644
00:33:38,142 --> 00:33:41,103
There must be something in you
that's evil and corrupt.

645
00:33:41,228 --> 00:33:44,732
If you're going to preach,
you need a soapbox.

646
00:33:47,735 --> 00:33:49,236
You're not very receptive tonight.

647
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:51,447
That's because you don't know
what you want from me,

648
00:33:51,572 --> 00:33:53,574
but when you come down
to the office tomorrow for that job,

649
00:33:53,699 --> 00:33:55,784
- I'll try again.
- You'll never see me there.

650
00:33:55,909 --> 00:33:57,411
I still have that ruby, Doris.

651
00:33:57,536 --> 00:33:59,288
You got 35 dollars a week
working for Leo.

652
00:33:59,413 --> 00:34:03,125
I'll get you 100, and I'll bet you
a barrelful of roses you'll be there.

653
00:34:16,346 --> 00:34:17,765
Joe.

654
00:34:37,242 --> 00:34:39,578
- Who are you?
- It's our bookkeeper, Mr Johnson.

655
00:34:39,703 --> 00:34:41,538
It's Mr Bauer.

656
00:34:50,214 --> 00:34:54,551
This is a fine time to be getting in.
From now on, get here on time.

657
00:35:06,021 --> 00:35:10,192
(Leo) 'The rest of you, if you don't
wanna cooperate, leave now.

658
00:35:10,317 --> 00:35:14,655
'All right. Combination supplies
the financing on the following terms:'

659
00:35:14,780 --> 00:35:17,449
the capital we advance
to pay off 776

660
00:35:17,574 --> 00:35:20,160
is to be a prior lien
on the business itself

661
00:35:20,285 --> 00:35:23,288
with regular 6% interest
and a 5,000 dollar bonus

662
00:35:23,413 --> 00:35:24,832
for making the loan.

663
00:35:24,957 --> 00:35:27,209
It's to be paid off by the week,
so much a week,

664
00:35:27,334 --> 00:35:29,169
as much as the business
can handle.

665
00:35:29,294 --> 00:35:31,839
And each banker gets a drawing account
of 75 a week

666
00:35:31,964 --> 00:35:35,134
till the debt's paid off,
then 1/3 of the profits.

667
00:35:35,259 --> 00:35:36,760
Is that clear?

668
00:35:36,885 --> 00:35:39,638
You're a bookkeeper now
for a big organization, Mr Bauer.

669
00:35:39,763 --> 00:35:42,850
Mr Richards, I won't waste time.
I've got bad news for you.

670
00:35:42,975 --> 00:35:44,143
I'm getting used to it.

671
00:35:44,268 --> 00:35:47,104
Mr Morse, I got to speak to you
right away.

672
00:35:54,319 --> 00:35:55,821
Excuse me.

673
00:36:02,119 --> 00:36:04,371
Now, Bauer,
what's the trouble?

674
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:06,582
Just like Doris, Mr Morse,
I'm quitting.

675
00:36:06,707 --> 00:36:09,042
I just wanted to tell you so you could get
somebody else for tomorrow.

676
00:36:09,168 --> 00:36:10,919
- Tomorrow?
- This place makes me sick.

677
00:36:11,044 --> 00:36:12,045
You've got eyes, Freddy.

678
00:36:12,171 --> 00:36:14,381
You can see for yourself
I'm not alone in business anymore.

679
00:36:14,506 --> 00:36:15,924
Mr Morse,
what did you put me into?

680
00:36:16,049 --> 00:36:17,885
I didn't put you into anything.
They put me!

681
00:36:18,010 --> 00:36:20,012
Did you put me into this
without my knowing or saying?

682
00:36:20,137 --> 00:36:21,555
Did you do a thing
like this to me?

683
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,266
You came to work in a racket
because you wanted the extra money.

684
00:36:24,391 --> 00:36:25,809
Now you'll get a raise.

685
00:36:25,934 --> 00:36:28,687
You're working for a big corporation
instead of a little man.

686
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:31,398
You're bookkeeper
for 13 banks instead of one.

687
00:36:31,523 --> 00:36:33,025
You're getting ahead
in the world.

688
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:35,736
I don't want it!
I'm not your slave!

689
00:36:37,487 --> 00:36:39,489
Wait a minute.

690
00:36:39,615 --> 00:36:41,950
- Leo, what's the trouble?
- He wants to quit.

691
00:36:42,701 --> 00:36:45,037
If he quits, how will
I handle the merger?

692
00:36:45,162 --> 00:36:47,247
All right, you go in and write off
the rest of those gravestones.

693
00:36:47,372 --> 00:36:49,249
- I'll talk to Bauer.
- I'll tell you the truth, Joe.

694
00:36:49,374 --> 00:36:51,251
I don't have the stomach
for this kind of business.

695
00:36:51,376 --> 00:36:52,669
What do you mean,
"this kind of business"?

696
00:36:52,794 --> 00:36:54,796
Every organization has to rely
on its people when it needs them.

697
00:36:54,922 --> 00:36:56,089
Go ahead.

698
00:36:56,215 --> 00:36:59,635
Mr Bauer, will you come in here
a moment?

699
00:37:02,304 --> 00:37:04,973
Mr Bauer... I'd like to straighten out

700
00:37:05,098 --> 00:37:07,100
whatever trouble
there seems to be here if I can.

701
00:37:07,226 --> 00:37:09,061
- There's no trouble, I just wanna quit.
- Is that fair?

702
00:37:09,186 --> 00:37:10,687
Maybe it isn't,
but that's what I wanna do.

703
00:37:10,812 --> 00:37:12,231
Why go out of your way
to make trouble for yourself?

704
00:37:14,233 --> 00:37:15,484
What do you mean?

705
00:37:15,609 --> 00:37:17,444
Well, we're reorganizing
the whole business now.

706
00:37:17,569 --> 00:37:19,404
We need every man's loyalty
at this time.

707
00:37:19,529 --> 00:37:22,407
You can't make me stay, you can't.
How can you make me?

708
00:37:22,532 --> 00:37:23,700
What are you gonna do?

709
00:37:23,825 --> 00:37:25,827
I want to be friends
with all you people.

710
00:37:25,953 --> 00:37:28,705
I'm looking ahead to where we can work
on a nice, friendly basis.

711
00:37:28,830 --> 00:37:30,874
I don't believe in an employer
who has to say to his people,

712
00:37:30,999 --> 00:37:32,000
"You've got to."

713
00:37:32,125 --> 00:37:34,253
I like an employer whose people
do things by themselves

714
00:37:34,378 --> 00:37:37,130
because they like to, because
they're loyal to the business.

715
00:37:37,256 --> 00:37:39,591
If I go now and walk out of here,
how are you gonna stop me?

716
00:37:39,716 --> 00:37:41,218
How, if I say I won't stay
and walk out of here,

717
00:37:41,343 --> 00:37:42,970
how are you gonna stop me?

718
00:37:44,221 --> 00:37:46,139
The combination
will stop you, Bauer...

719
00:37:46,265 --> 00:37:49,434
Stop you dead... in your tracks.

720
00:37:49,559 --> 00:37:52,813
You see, Mr Bauer,
I'm just trying to help.

721
00:37:53,897 --> 00:37:55,816
What do you say?

722
00:37:55,941 --> 00:37:57,943
Now, if you have any more trouble,
just let me know,

723
00:37:58,068 --> 00:38:00,946
and I'll try to straighten it
out for you. That's my job.

724
00:38:02,781 --> 00:38:05,200
- Good night, everybody.
- Good night.

725
00:38:05,325 --> 00:38:07,744
I think I'm gonna quit this job.

726
00:38:07,869 --> 00:38:10,539
I don't like working in a place
run by gangsters

727
00:38:10,664 --> 00:38:13,625
- and where they have police raids.
- See this nickel?

728
00:38:13,750 --> 00:38:16,420
It belongs to Tucker,
and so do we.

729
00:38:16,545 --> 00:38:19,548
Well, I'm gonna quit,
just the same.

730
00:38:19,673 --> 00:38:21,341
It frightens me
to work here.

731
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:22,884
What are you talking about?

732
00:38:23,635 --> 00:38:26,221
We can't quit.
They won't let us.

733
00:38:26,346 --> 00:38:28,890
You heard them. They said
they'd kill me if I quit.

734
00:38:29,016 --> 00:38:31,184
They said they'd kill you,
Mr Bauer.

735
00:38:31,310 --> 00:38:34,104
You're the head bookkeeper here.
They need you.

736
00:38:34,229 --> 00:38:35,731
They don't need us.

737
00:38:35,856 --> 00:38:37,858
Maybe we'll all be
without a job soon.

738
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:39,151
I read in the papers
where Hall said

739
00:38:39,276 --> 00:38:40,944
he's going to raid these banks
out of business.

740
00:38:41,069 --> 00:38:43,238
And he could, too, if he knew
where all the banks were

741
00:38:43,363 --> 00:38:45,032
and where they moved
each time.

742
00:38:45,157 --> 00:38:46,992
Are you coming, Mr Bauer?

743
00:38:47,117 --> 00:38:49,119
No, I have a few things
to do yet.

744
00:38:49,244 --> 00:38:52,247
- Good night.
- Good night, Mr Bauer.

745
00:39:12,726 --> 00:39:15,062
Hello?
I want Mr Hall's office.

746
00:39:17,981 --> 00:39:21,234
Hello? I want to report a policy bank,
a numbers bank.

747
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,362
I want you to raid them
right away,

748
00:39:23,487 --> 00:39:25,238
tomorrow when they open
for business.

749
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:27,199
And when they open again,
I want you to raid them again.

750
00:39:27,324 --> 00:39:28,825
Wherever they open,
I'll tell you where.

751
00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:31,620
I want them raided
out of business.

752
00:39:31,745 --> 00:39:33,413
Never mind who I am.

753
00:39:33,538 --> 00:39:36,291
If you raid this bank, I'll tell you
where the others are, too.

754
00:39:36,416 --> 00:39:39,169
And if they move, I'll tell you
where they move to.

755
00:39:39,294 --> 00:39:42,297
The address is 1721 Edgecombe.

756
00:39:42,422 --> 00:39:44,257
I can't talk anymore now.

757
00:39:54,726 --> 00:39:56,228
Just a minute there.

758
00:39:57,562 --> 00:40:00,440
I wanna talk to you.
You're Bauer.

759
00:40:00,565 --> 00:40:02,651
- Who are you?
- I'm Wally.

760
00:40:02,776 --> 00:40:04,361
I got a proposition
for you, Bauer,

761
00:40:04,486 --> 00:40:06,238
a chance to make
a little money for yourself

762
00:40:06,363 --> 00:40:08,615
on the QT, under the rose.

763
00:40:08,740 --> 00:40:10,575
I'm not interested
in any propositions.

764
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:13,120
Just a minute.
I'm doing a job for Bill Ficco.

765
00:40:13,245 --> 00:40:15,330
He used to be Tucker's partner
in the beer days.

766
00:40:15,455 --> 00:40:16,957
What's that got to do
with me?

767
00:40:17,082 --> 00:40:18,583
Ficco's going into
the numbers business.

768
00:40:18,708 --> 00:40:21,128
He needs a little information
and I'm trying to help.

769
00:40:22,170 --> 00:40:23,672
He wants a list of Tucker's banks,

770
00:40:23,797 --> 00:40:26,216
the bankers, the collectors,
the controllers.

771
00:40:26,341 --> 00:40:28,969
He wants to arrange a meeting
with Leo Morse to discuss the matter.

772
00:40:29,094 --> 00:40:30,429
Why don't you ask Mr Morse?

773
00:40:30,554 --> 00:40:33,765
He'd be afraid to get together
with Ficco on account of Tucker.

774
00:40:33,890 --> 00:40:34,975
We're the competition.

775
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:39,020
But if you could get Leo Morse
to some quiet place, we'd be there.

776
00:40:39,146 --> 00:40:40,605
That's all you have to do.

777
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:42,816
Just get him there,
and we'll do the rest.

778
00:40:42,941 --> 00:40:45,277
I don't wanna have anything to do
with gangsters.

779
00:40:45,402 --> 00:40:48,530
What do you mean, gangsters?
It's business.

780
00:40:48,655 --> 00:40:51,491
- Good night, Mr Wheelock.
- Good night.

781
00:40:52,325 --> 00:40:55,078
- Good night, Mary.
- Good night.

782
00:40:56,663 --> 00:40:59,499
- Hey! What is this, a parade?
- I guess so.

783
00:40:59,624 --> 00:41:00,876
Good night.

784
00:41:01,001 --> 00:41:02,335
Take the rest of the day off.

785
00:41:02,461 --> 00:41:05,464
Mr Morse, there's someone
waiting to see you in the office.

786
00:41:18,351 --> 00:41:20,187
Want that ruby, don't you?

787
00:41:20,312 --> 00:41:23,148
(Wheelock) Joe,
may I see you a moment?

788
00:41:23,273 --> 00:41:24,774
Excuse me.

789
00:41:27,944 --> 00:41:30,864
Mrs Tucker's been waiting to see you
for over a half-hour.

790
00:41:30,989 --> 00:41:32,032
- Good night, Mr Morse.
- Good night.

791
00:41:32,157 --> 00:41:34,159
Mrs Tucker?
What does she want?

792
00:41:34,284 --> 00:41:38,038
Well, you, apparently.
She wouldn't take a substitute.

793
00:41:38,163 --> 00:41:39,748
Handsome woman.

794
00:41:39,873 --> 00:41:44,127
- Have you, er... seen Hall?
- Yes. We're talking.

795
00:41:44,252 --> 00:41:46,004
Well, what's it look like, Hobe?

796
00:41:46,129 --> 00:41:48,965
I don't know, Joe.
Just talking.

797
00:41:50,008 --> 00:41:52,677
- Fine. Good night.
- Good night.

798
00:41:53,553 --> 00:41:57,307
(Joe) Wait for me, Doris.
I won't be long.

799
00:42:01,269 --> 00:42:02,771
(Door opens)

800
00:42:09,528 --> 00:42:11,613
What's on your mind, Edna?

801
00:42:13,448 --> 00:42:16,535
I couldn't telephone,
so I came down in person.

802
00:42:16,660 --> 00:42:19,329
Telephone about what?

803
00:42:19,454 --> 00:42:22,207
Telephone you
about the telephone.

804
00:42:23,625 --> 00:42:25,877
What about the telephone?

805
00:42:26,378 --> 00:42:30,048
Your prosecutor friend Hall
has tapped Ben's telephone.

806
00:42:36,763 --> 00:42:38,265
Well...

807
00:42:44,563 --> 00:42:47,065
...Ben has to expect
those things.

808
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:53,154
Hall is in the business
and Ben Tucker is his stock in trade.

809
00:42:54,948 --> 00:42:57,200
That's why Ben sent me.

810
00:42:59,286 --> 00:43:01,288
So are you.

811
00:43:01,413 --> 00:43:03,248
I'm an attorney.

812
00:43:03,373 --> 00:43:05,542
Legally, I'm in a fiduciary relationship
with your husband.

813
00:43:06,585 --> 00:43:08,169
Is your telephone with Hall?

814
00:43:10,630 --> 00:43:12,382
Well, you tell Ben he has nothing
to worry about.

815
00:43:12,507 --> 00:43:14,593
Wiretapping evidence
isn't always admissible.

816
00:43:14,718 --> 00:43:16,219
I'll look it up for him.

817
00:43:16,344 --> 00:43:18,096
Look it up for yourself, too,
while you're at it.

818
00:43:19,639 --> 00:43:24,728
Ben tells me if you listen carefully,
if you try it several times,

819
00:43:24,853 --> 00:43:27,022
you can catch them at it.

820
00:43:27,147 --> 00:43:29,858
You can hear a little click.

821
00:43:29,983 --> 00:43:31,818
A little click.

822
00:43:32,444 --> 00:43:35,530
That's someone
lifting a receiver off the hook,

823
00:43:35,655 --> 00:43:37,657
the man who listens.

824
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:40,702
Have you ever used
that telephone of yours

825
00:43:40,827 --> 00:43:42,996
for anything he shouldn't hear?

826
00:43:43,121 --> 00:43:45,290
I use it for everything.

827
00:43:45,415 --> 00:43:47,667
I'm at the disposal
of my clients.

828
00:43:47,792 --> 00:43:49,210
You might spend
the rest of your life

829
00:43:49,336 --> 00:43:51,212
trying to remember
what you shouldn't have said.

830
00:43:51,338 --> 00:43:53,840
What are you riding me for?
If the phone is tapped, it's tapped.

831
00:43:53,965 --> 00:43:56,301
Well, don't get sore
just because you're scared.

832
00:43:56,426 --> 00:43:59,596
Why don't you test it and see?
That's what Ben did.

833
00:43:59,721 --> 00:44:01,056
That's what he would do.

834
00:44:01,181 --> 00:44:02,432
Did Ben tell you to come here,

835
00:44:02,557 --> 00:44:04,809
or did you offer
to deliver the message?

836
00:44:08,730 --> 00:44:09,731
I offered.

837
00:44:09,856 --> 00:44:12,859
Why are you always offering
to deliver bad news to me?

838
00:44:12,984 --> 00:44:15,070
What do you want?
What are you waiting to see?

839
00:44:15,195 --> 00:44:18,531
What kind of a man you are...
you really are.

840
00:44:18,657 --> 00:44:20,075
Try it on your own man.

841
00:44:21,368 --> 00:44:23,203
I'm trying you.

842
00:44:24,371 --> 00:44:27,040
What are you afraid of,
to show you're afraid?

843
00:44:27,165 --> 00:44:29,918
If you need a broken man to love,
break your husband.

844
00:44:30,043 --> 00:44:32,712
I'm not a nickel. I don't spend
my life on a telephone.

845
00:44:32,837 --> 00:44:35,840
If that's what you want for love,
you can't use me.

846
00:44:35,965 --> 00:44:37,967
But you're not strong
or weak enough.

847
00:44:38,093 --> 00:44:39,344
(Knock on door)

848
00:44:39,469 --> 00:44:40,970
Come in.

849
00:44:43,181 --> 00:44:46,518
Is there anything else
before I go, Mr Morse?

850
00:44:46,643 --> 00:44:50,563
Yes. You can show
Mrs Tucker out.

851
00:45:07,414 --> 00:45:09,249
(Door closes)

852
00:45:12,961 --> 00:45:15,922
'I had expected a certain amount
of trouble from Hall,

853
00:45:16,047 --> 00:45:17,716
'I'd figured on it.

854
00:45:17,841 --> 00:45:22,429
'But it was a little shocking to find out
that he'd moved in so fast.

855
00:45:22,554 --> 00:45:26,599
'It was something to worry about
and something to take care of

856
00:45:26,725 --> 00:45:28,893
'and something to remember.

857
00:45:30,228 --> 00:45:32,397
'Conversations over the phone
aren't much use

858
00:45:32,522 --> 00:45:34,190
'as legal evidence,

859
00:45:34,315 --> 00:45:37,736
'but they tell a smart lawyer
where the evidence can be found,

860
00:45:37,861 --> 00:45:39,446
'what it might be.

861
00:45:39,571 --> 00:45:43,074
'It was the first step in making a case
against the combination,

862
00:45:43,199 --> 00:45:46,619
'and the combination
was Ben Tucker and myself.

863
00:45:46,745 --> 00:45:49,748
'When you make a living,
you accept the risks,

864
00:45:49,873 --> 00:45:53,126
'but I had taken an extra risk
because of Leo

865
00:45:53,251 --> 00:45:55,128
'to give him confidence.

00:45:55,253 --> 00:45:58,256
'I had shown my face

00:45:58,381 --> 00:46:02,051
'I had been tough with Bauer

868
00:46:02,177 --> 00:46:04,763
'People can be made to talk.

869
00:46:04,888 --> 00:46:07,724
'Was my phone talking, too?

870
00:46:10,935 --> 00:46:12,854
'A man could spend

00:46:26,493 --> 00:46:27,911

873
00:46:39,088 --> 00:46:43,593
(Operator) 'At the tone,
the time will be 7:23 and 1/4.'

874
00:46:43,718 --> 00:46:45,553
(Intermittent signal)

875
00:46:49,432 --> 00:46:51,935
'I had forgotten Doris
for a moment,

876
00:46:52,060 --> 00:46:54,729
'and then I was glad
she was there, waiting.

877
00:46:54,854 --> 00:46:57,190
'She was someone to talk to.

878
00:46:57,315 --> 00:47:00,068
'We walked down Wall Street
to Trinity Church,

879
00:47:00,193 --> 00:47:01,361
'and she kept watching me,

880
00:47:01,486 --> 00:47:04,823
'wondering what had happened
there in that office of mine.

00:47:04,948 --> 00:47:07,992
'I think she had made up her mind

882
00:47:08,660 --> 00:47:10,411
'And I wouldn't have minded
at another time.

00:47:11,454 --> 00:47:14,958
'It would have been a change

'She wanted me to talk,

885
00:47:20,338 --> 00:47:22,590
'that I didn't realize
what I was doing,

886
00:47:22,715 --> 00:47:25,802
'that I didn't understand
the business I was in,

887
00:47:25,927 --> 00:47:29,097
'but I enjoyed the idea
of convincing her that I did.'

888
00:47:29,222 --> 00:47:31,558
When was it, Mr Morse,
that Tucker walked in?

889
00:47:31,683 --> 00:47:32,934
I'll tell you.

890
00:47:33,059 --> 00:47:35,061
I will tell you, Doris,
how the boom was on,

891
00:47:35,186 --> 00:47:38,273
and I could feel money
spread all over the city like air,

892
00:47:38,398 --> 00:47:40,900
like perfume
from those flowers I gave you.

893
00:47:41,025 --> 00:47:44,279
I could breathe
the smell of money.

894
00:47:44,404 --> 00:47:46,072
And was that
when Tucker walked in?

895
00:47:46,197 --> 00:47:48,783
Yes. And I'm a man.

896
00:47:48,908 --> 00:47:50,994
What have I got to do
with Tucker?

897
00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:53,955
But he opened his pocket,
and I jumped in headfirst.

898
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,625
I sat there
and measured my strength.

899
00:47:57,750 --> 00:47:59,919
I had so much, Doris,

900
00:48:00,044 --> 00:48:02,881
that's the way I figured,
so much strength,

901
00:48:03,006 --> 00:48:04,841
and it all worked out
this way.

902
00:48:04,966 --> 00:48:07,218
I didn't have enough strength
to resist corruption,

903
00:48:07,343 --> 00:48:09,679
But I was strong enough
to fight for a piece of it.

904
00:48:09,804 --> 00:48:11,222
I see.

905
00:48:11,347 --> 00:48:13,433
And now you want
to get out.

906
00:48:13,558 --> 00:48:15,310
Is that what your trouble is?

907
00:48:15,435 --> 00:48:19,397
My trouble is, Miss Lowry,
that I feel like midnight,

908
00:48:19,522 --> 00:48:21,441
and I don't know
what the morning will be,

909
00:48:21,566 --> 00:48:25,695
except, for a little while,
I felt pretty easy here,

910
00:48:25,820 --> 00:48:28,823
talking to you,
liking you.

911
00:48:29,616 --> 00:48:32,285
You're the only one
I ever talk to, Doris.

912
00:48:32,410 --> 00:48:34,579
You're the only one
I ever talk to,

913
00:48:34,704 --> 00:48:36,706
and I don't know why,
except that you caught me tonight

914
00:48:36,831 --> 00:48:38,666
when I would have talked
to the devil.

915
00:48:38,791 --> 00:48:41,961
But I... thank you.

916
00:48:51,804 --> 00:48:52,889
It's the truth, Doris.

917
00:48:53,014 --> 00:48:54,849
A man doesn't tell lies
at midnight,

918
00:48:54,974 --> 00:48:57,143
but now I talk to you
because you're Doris.

919
00:48:57,268 --> 00:48:59,854
You see how lovely
that makes you?

920
00:48:59,979 --> 00:49:01,731
What are you now?

921
00:49:01,856 --> 00:49:05,860
Someone to say,
to fool himself or me, that...

922
00:49:06,819 --> 00:49:08,071
...that you love me?

923
00:49:08,196 --> 00:49:10,448
Not so soon.
I won't tell you that,

924
00:49:10,573 --> 00:49:12,742
but it would be such a comfort to me
to kiss you.

925
00:49:12,867 --> 00:49:14,702
Is that strange?

926
00:49:16,329 --> 00:49:17,956
No.

927
00:49:18,081 --> 00:49:19,916
No, that isn't strange.

928
00:49:48,820 --> 00:49:50,738
Are you from the bus company?

929
00:49:50,863 --> 00:49:52,740
Why? Would you like
to buy a bus?

930
00:49:52,865 --> 00:49:54,367
You look like somebody
I used to know

931
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:55,994
in the downtown
detective office.

932
00:49:56,119 --> 00:49:59,205
- I do? What's his name?
- I didn't know him that good.

933
00:49:59,330 --> 00:50:01,165
I just used to see him around.

934
00:50:01,290 --> 00:50:02,792
I'm a bus inspector.

935
00:50:02,917 --> 00:50:06,170
If you have a complaint to make
about the service, I'll take it.

936
00:50:09,757 --> 00:50:12,010
- Hello, Mr Bauer.
- Hello, Doris.

937
00:50:16,639 --> 00:50:18,141
You leave early today?

938
00:50:18,266 --> 00:50:20,184
No. I wasn't feeling
so good today,

939
00:50:20,309 --> 00:50:22,895
so I didn't come in,
and then I decided to come in,

940
00:50:23,021 --> 00:50:24,856
but now
I don't feel so good again.

941
00:50:24,981 --> 00:50:26,566
I'm sorry to hear that.

942
00:50:26,691 --> 00:50:28,276
I'm just going up to say goodbye
and get my things.

943
00:50:28,401 --> 00:50:29,485
I'll tell Mr Morse for you.

944
00:50:29,610 --> 00:50:33,031
No. It'll look better since I got so far
to tell him myself.

945
00:50:33,156 --> 00:50:34,657
All right.

946
00:50:49,714 --> 00:50:52,216
Step lively. Let's go.

947
00:50:53,926 --> 00:50:56,179
Say, Miss, you forgot your hat.

948
00:50:58,723 --> 00:51:01,392
- No! I can't ride in a patrol wagon!
- All right, come on.

949
00:51:01,517 --> 00:51:04,771
- I'm not going in...
- Come on!

950
00:51:08,691 --> 00:51:09,692
Let me go! Let me go!

951
00:51:09,817 --> 00:51:12,236
I don't work here!
I don't work here!

952
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,688
Our case is up next, Ben.

953
00:51:47,814 --> 00:51:50,149
I just told the district attorney's office
we'll plead guilty.

954
00:51:50,274 --> 00:51:52,110
It'll be top fines all around.

955
00:51:52,235 --> 00:51:53,569
Anybody can pay fines.

956
00:51:54,904 --> 00:51:58,116
If someone can buy a raid on one
of my banks for a nickel phone call,

957
00:51:58,241 --> 00:52:02,662
I want my 50,000 dollar-a-year
politician to tell me why.

958
00:52:02,787 --> 00:52:06,791
Why and how is what I want to know,
why and how and who.

959
00:52:06,916 --> 00:52:09,585
- It's one of those things.
- It's one of those things I don't like.

960
00:52:10,336 --> 00:52:12,672
This is Goodspeed, Ben.
One of our bankers.

961
00:52:12,797 --> 00:52:14,048
Well, let's hear.

962
00:52:14,173 --> 00:52:16,843
I was taking my dog out for a walk
when they picked me up in this car.

963
00:52:16,968 --> 00:52:19,387
It was Ficco. You remember Ficco
from the beer days?

964
00:52:19,512 --> 00:52:21,013
What is this with Ficco, Ben?

965
00:52:21,139 --> 00:52:23,057
Well, go on.
Don't make a book of it.

966
00:52:23,182 --> 00:52:25,268
Ficco wanted to know
the whole who's who on the banks,

967
00:52:25,393 --> 00:52:27,061
where they were,
who the bankers were,

968
00:52:27,186 --> 00:52:29,021
the facts and figures
on the combination.

969
00:52:29,147 --> 00:52:30,982
I told them I didn't know
because I don't.

970
00:52:31,107 --> 00:52:33,693
Then they kicked me around a little,
took a century out of my pocket,

971
00:52:33,818 --> 00:52:35,570
and dumped me.

972
00:52:35,695 --> 00:52:37,363
Is that all?

973
00:52:37,488 --> 00:52:40,575
We never had anything like this
before you came into the picture, Ben.

974
00:52:40,700 --> 00:52:44,120
- What'll I do?
- Sell your dog.

975
00:52:47,915 --> 00:52:49,417
What is it, Ben?
What's happening?

976
00:52:49,542 --> 00:52:51,961
I know what Ficco wants
and he's not going to get it.

977
00:52:52,086 --> 00:52:54,088
He was up last night
asking for it.

978
00:52:54,213 --> 00:52:56,465
He knows about Hall, too,
and he thinks a little rough stuff

979
00:52:56,591 --> 00:52:58,759
will scare us into
bringing him in.

980
00:52:58,885 --> 00:53:00,761
I told him to his face,
Hall or no Hall,

981
00:53:00,887 --> 00:53:02,889
if he wants to make a deal with us,
he'll make it with a gun.

982
00:53:03,014 --> 00:53:05,683
- Now's the time to be sensible, Ben.
- I am sensible.

983
00:53:05,808 --> 00:53:08,394
But I'll see you all in the gutter,
and I'll see myself in the gutter,

984
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:11,355
before I lose one nickel of the money
I've invested in this combination.

985
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,900
I didn't bring Leo into the combination
to take a beating,

986
00:53:14,025 --> 00:53:15,443
but that's what it's going to be
from now on in.

987
00:53:15,568 --> 00:53:17,153
I can smell it in the air,
and I want him out.

988
00:53:17,278 --> 00:53:19,447
I want him paid off and out.
I want him out tonight.

989
00:53:19,572 --> 00:53:21,407
That's a fine way
to talk to me, Joe,

990
00:53:21,532 --> 00:53:23,951
after we establish him in the trade
as the number-one bank.

991
00:53:24,076 --> 00:53:25,828
I'll take over instead then.

992
00:53:25,953 --> 00:53:28,539
I'll pay off Leo
and take over myself personally.

993
00:53:28,664 --> 00:53:30,416
That's OK with me, Joe.

994
00:53:30,541 --> 00:53:32,293
The minute you start working
out of the banks,

995
00:53:32,418 --> 00:53:34,837
meeting a hundred people a day,
handling details,

996
00:53:34,962 --> 00:53:37,548
you won't be able to say
you're just Tucker's attorney.

997
00:53:37,673 --> 00:53:39,425
You'll be Tucker's partner.

998
00:53:39,550 --> 00:53:42,887
- But suit yourself about your brother.
- I think we're on now.

999
00:53:43,012 --> 00:53:45,264
(Officer) 'The people versus Leo
Morse, Doris Lowry,

1000
00:53:45,389 --> 00:53:47,058
'Frederick Bauer, Edgar Ryan...'

1001
00:53:57,443 --> 00:53:59,528
She's in there, Mr Morse.

1002
00:54:03,532 --> 00:54:05,618
Can't you see I'm busy
talking to someone?

1003
00:54:05,743 --> 00:54:06,827
I wanna talk to you, Doris.

1004
00:54:06,953 --> 00:54:09,538
Just send me a bill.
I'll pay your fee.

1005
00:54:10,915 --> 00:54:12,917
So I'll be right home, Mother.
Don't worry.

1006
00:54:14,168 --> 00:54:15,419
I don't have time
to argue with you.

1007
00:54:15,544 --> 00:54:18,297
I wanted to say how sorry I was for
all this, but it doesn't seem necessary.

1008
00:54:18,422 --> 00:54:21,300
I'm perfectly all right.
You'd better worry about Leo,

1009
00:54:21,425 --> 00:54:22,927
and you'd better worry
about yourself.

1010
00:54:23,052 --> 00:54:24,887
When you make a living,
you accept the risks,

1011
00:54:25,012 --> 00:54:26,347
but that has nothing
to do with you.

1012
00:54:26,472 --> 00:54:28,641
I kept watching you
in the courtroom, and I...

1013
00:54:28,766 --> 00:54:30,768
And what, Joe?

1014
00:54:30,893 --> 00:54:32,311
If I ever thought of loving you,

1015
00:54:32,436 --> 00:54:34,605
it was to love something rotten
and corrupt in myself.

1016
00:54:34,730 --> 00:54:38,067
I don't wish to love you
or see you or know you,

1017
00:54:38,192 --> 00:54:40,069
And I'll try not to remember you.

1018
00:54:40,903 --> 00:54:42,321
I didn't ask you
to go down there.

1019
00:54:42,446 --> 00:54:45,032
- You forced Leo to stay in the business.
- He wanted it.

1020
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:48,244
You tempted him,
the way you try to tempt me now

1021
00:54:48,369 --> 00:54:50,621
to forget what's so plain here
in front of me.

1022
00:54:50,746 --> 00:54:53,249
Well, you'll see.
Leo's not like you, he'll die of this.

1023
00:54:53,374 --> 00:54:57,712
Oh, you'll make him rich...
in his death.

1024
00:54:57,837 --> 00:55:01,257
Well, I don't wish to die
of loving you.

1025
00:55:20,943 --> 00:55:23,446
Leo, I arranged with Tucker
for you to quit tonight.

1026
00:55:23,571 --> 00:55:25,573
- I'll pay off your investments.
- I don't want it, Joe.

1027
00:55:25,698 --> 00:55:27,575
The money I made
in this rotten business

1028
00:55:27,700 --> 00:55:30,036
is no good for me, Joe.
I don't want it back.

1029
00:55:30,578 --> 00:55:32,496
And Tucker's money
is no good, either.

1030
00:55:32,621 --> 00:55:34,707
The money
has no moral opinions.

1031
00:55:34,832 --> 00:55:37,835
I find I have, Joe.
I find I have.

1032
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:39,879
And now I'm speaking to you.
I'm speaking to you

1033
00:55:40,004 --> 00:55:42,840
as your older brother
who slaved for you.

1034
00:55:43,632 --> 00:55:46,719
You stop now.
Stop now, Joe,

1035
00:55:46,844 --> 00:55:49,180
Because I'm getting old,
and old people die.

1036
00:55:49,305 --> 00:55:51,140
There will be nobody
to cry for you.

1037
00:55:52,016 --> 00:55:54,602
I'll get you the money,
and you're out.

1038
00:56:00,274 --> 00:56:02,526
Freddy. You come along
with me, Freddy.

1039
00:56:02,651 --> 00:56:05,154
I wanna get a glass of water.

1040
00:56:09,825 --> 00:56:12,411
I'm going down to my office.

1041
00:56:14,372 --> 00:56:17,291
Mr Morse, I just want you
to know something.

1042
00:56:17,416 --> 00:56:19,835
I want you to know that every time
a tip comes over the phone,

1043
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:21,295
you're gonna get a raid,

1044
00:56:21,420 --> 00:56:23,589
whoever you are
and whoever you know.

1045
00:56:23,714 --> 00:56:28,552
Go ahead and raid, Mr Detective.
You're talking to a retired man.

1046
00:56:28,677 --> 00:56:31,639
And next time, Mr Bauer,
next time you call,

1047
00:56:31,764 --> 00:56:34,100
just ask for Egan,
the bus inspector.

1048
00:56:34,225 --> 00:56:36,477
You'll get personal service.

1049
00:56:38,479 --> 00:56:41,232
You, you, you...
do you wanna kill yourself?

1050
00:56:41,357 --> 00:56:43,943
To get yourself killed?

1051
00:58:06,609 --> 00:58:09,445
Hello? This is Wheelock.

1052
00:58:10,029 --> 00:58:13,365
Got everything else,
but I can't get into the safe.

1053
00:58:13,491 --> 00:58:15,201
He must have changed
the combination.

1054
00:58:16,785 --> 00:58:19,455
All right.
I'm leaving now.

1055
00:58:19,580 --> 00:58:20,623
(Puts receiver down)

1056
00:58:43,395 --> 00:58:47,233
(Door opens and closes)

1057
00:59:32,486 --> 00:59:36,073
'I knew I would never come back
to this fancy office again.

1058
00:59:36,198 --> 00:59:38,617
'I could see the cobwebs
on the walls

1059
00:59:38,742 --> 00:59:43,581
'and a sign: "Office for rent
for a smart young lawyer

1060
00:59:43,706 --> 00:59:46,125
'"trying to get ahead
in the world."'

1061
01:00:29,501 --> 01:00:32,588
Go in and get your rolls.
I'll wait for you.

1062
01:01:00,574 --> 01:01:01,909
Freddy!

1063
01:01:02,034 --> 01:01:04,203
Dumb, rotten dog.

1064
01:01:05,663 --> 01:01:07,081
Freddy!

1065
01:01:08,165 --> 01:01:09,333
Freddy!

1066
01:01:10,084 --> 01:01:12,670
Freddy. Freddy!

1067
01:01:13,671 --> 01:01:15,255
You stupid fool!

1068
01:01:15,381 --> 01:01:16,882
- Do you know what you're doing?
- Let me alone.

1069
01:01:17,007 --> 01:01:18,342
What do you think you're doing?

1070
01:01:18,467 --> 01:01:23,305
Do you want to make a butcher
of my brother? A murderer?

1071
01:01:23,430 --> 01:01:26,016
You want to live, don't you?
You want to live to eat these, don't you?

1072
01:01:26,141 --> 01:01:28,477
- Let me alone, please.
- Don't say that to me.

1073
01:01:28,602 --> 01:01:30,562
I'll kill you with my own hands

1074
01:01:30,688 --> 01:01:34,108
rather than let you put
the mark of Cain on my brother.

1075
01:01:43,701 --> 01:01:46,620
Remember me, Bauer?
I'm Wally.

1076
01:01:46,745 --> 01:01:50,833
Now is the time to set up that meeting
between Ficco and Leo Morse.

1077
01:01:50,958 --> 01:01:53,043
- Tonight.
- I can't do a thing like that.

1078
01:01:53,168 --> 01:01:56,755
Come on, Bauer, I'll show you
how you can get out of this jam.

1079
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,382
Alive.

1080
01:02:12,604 --> 01:02:14,022
Your friend didn't show yet.

1081
01:02:14,148 --> 01:02:15,816
What's the matter?
You in a hurry for the table?

1082
01:02:15,941 --> 01:02:17,025
Did I say that?

1083
01:02:17,151 --> 01:02:20,154
There's no one here.
You're not losing any tips letting me sit.

1084
01:02:20,279 --> 01:02:23,031
It makes no difference to me.
I'm here till 3 o'clock anyway.

1085
01:02:23,157 --> 01:02:25,743
I thought maybe
you might want to order.

1086
01:02:27,870 --> 01:02:29,204
It's getting late, Mr Bauer.

1087
01:02:31,248 --> 01:02:33,250
He said he'd come.

1088
01:02:47,598 --> 01:02:49,016
I thought you'd never come.

1089
01:02:49,141 --> 01:02:52,561
My car was put away.
I had to find a taxi.

1090
01:02:52,686 --> 01:02:55,355
I'm glad you called me, Freddy.

1091
01:02:55,481 --> 01:02:57,733
I'm glad you thought it over
to listen to me.

1092
01:02:57,858 --> 01:03:01,195
To calm down and listen to me
so I can help you.

1093
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:02,529
Coffee.

1094
01:03:02,654 --> 01:03:04,239
I know how bad you feel, Freddy.

1095
01:03:04,740 --> 01:03:08,243
It was a wicked, foolish thing to do
to put a gun in my brother's hand

1096
01:03:08,368 --> 01:03:09,536
for him to kill you.

1097
01:03:10,329 --> 01:03:14,082
That's what you wanted to do.
That's what it was.

1098
01:03:14,625 --> 01:03:17,711
I know how it feels
to try to find someone to kill you,

1099
01:03:17,836 --> 01:03:19,671
to finish you off,

1100
01:03:19,797 --> 01:03:23,675
to take the crimes of your life
on his head, in his hands.

1101
01:03:23,801 --> 01:03:28,388
Please, Mr Morse, all I want is to quit.
That's all, nothing else.

1102
01:03:28,514 --> 01:03:31,767
They won't let me quit, and I wanna quit.
I'll die if I don't quit.

1103
01:03:31,892 --> 01:03:36,563
I'm a man with heart trouble.
I die almost every day myself.

1104
01:03:36,688 --> 01:03:41,109
That's the way I live.
It's a silly habit.

1105
01:03:41,235 --> 01:03:45,322
You know, sometimes you feel
as though you're dying.

1106
01:03:45,447 --> 01:03:49,701
Here and here.

1107
01:03:50,327 --> 01:03:53,455
Here... You're dying
while you're breathing.

1108
01:04:02,339 --> 01:04:04,591
Freddy, what have you done?

1109
01:04:06,218 --> 01:04:08,053
Freddy, what have you done to me?

1110
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:20,190
- Take it easy, Pop. You won't get hurt.
- You're coming with us, Pop. Come on!

1111
01:04:20,315 --> 01:04:22,150
You can't take all night.
Stand up and walk!

1112
01:04:22,276 --> 01:04:24,653
Stop him! Stop him!
He knows me!

1113
01:04:25,654 --> 01:04:27,781
Kill him! Kill him!
He knows me!

1114
01:04:42,921 --> 01:04:45,340
(♪ Jazz)

1115
01:04:49,803 --> 01:04:52,639
Joe, I'm not going to eat
if you don't eat.

1116
01:04:53,599 --> 01:04:56,476
Eat something, you'll feel better.

1117
01:04:59,813 --> 01:05:02,232
I'm eating and I feel better.

1118
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,153
Why don't you do something
that's good for yourself?

1119
01:05:06,278 --> 01:05:08,822
Why don't you stop drinking and eat?
Why don't you go home?

1120
01:05:09,489 --> 01:05:12,075
- Just why don't you do something right?
- Hey!

1121
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,871
Tell them to play louder.
I have something private to tell the lady.

1122
01:05:15,996 --> 01:05:17,414
Yes, Mr Morse.

1123
01:05:17,539 --> 01:05:20,459
It's true. It's something private
and I don't want the whole world to hear.

1124
01:05:20,584 --> 01:05:22,336
I don't want the whole world to know
what you know.

1125
01:05:22,461 --> 01:05:25,047
That Hall, Link Hall,
my partner's friend,

1126
01:05:25,172 --> 01:05:26,924
is gonna take my life away
in the morning.

1127
01:05:28,926 --> 01:05:31,094
Why are we sitting here, then?

1128
01:05:31,219 --> 01:05:32,721
If it's so serious, if it's so bad,

1129
01:05:32,846 --> 01:05:35,515
what are you doing here getting drunk
and talking so crazy?

1130
01:05:35,641 --> 01:05:38,393
I'm celebrating.
I'm celebrating.

1131
01:05:38,518 --> 01:05:42,522
It's a holiday. A holiday is when you
celebrate something that's all finished up

1132
01:05:42,648 --> 01:05:44,066
and happened a long time ago

1133
01:05:44,191 --> 01:05:46,401
and now there's nothing left
to celebrate but the dead.

1134
01:05:47,152 --> 01:05:49,154
- You talk as if you were dead.
- That's what I am.

1135
01:05:49,279 --> 01:05:53,116
Dead, disbarred, done for,
finished, kaput.

1136
01:05:53,241 --> 01:05:55,077
When did this happen, Joe?

1137
01:05:55,202 --> 01:05:57,037
The day I was born.

1138
01:05:57,162 --> 01:06:00,374
And I'm sorry for you,
that I got you into this.

1139
01:06:00,499 --> 01:06:04,336
A girl with advantages
trying to make a living.

1140
01:06:05,087 --> 01:06:08,507
But I was a man, a boy with advantages
trying to make a living.

1141
01:06:08,632 --> 01:06:10,133
Let's dance.

1142
01:06:17,933 --> 01:06:22,396
Joe, I wanna help you
if you'll be serious.

1143
01:06:22,521 --> 01:06:24,022
I'm serious.

1144
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,609
- Joe, please.
- Don't be afraid.

1145
01:06:27,734 --> 01:06:29,945
You don't know what it is
to have real fear in you.

1146
01:06:30,070 --> 01:06:32,572
You don't know what it is to wake up
in the morning and go to sleep at night,

1147
01:06:32,698 --> 01:06:34,700
and eat your lunch
and read the papers,

1148
01:06:34,825 --> 01:06:36,410
and hear the horns blowing
in the streets,

1149
01:06:36,535 --> 01:06:38,453
and the horns blowing
in the clubs.

1150
01:06:38,578 --> 01:06:40,747
And all the time, wherever you are,
whatever you're doing,

1151
01:06:40,872 --> 01:06:42,374
whatever you're seeing,
wherever you are,

1152
01:06:42,499 --> 01:06:44,835
you're afraid in your heart.
Is that what life is?

1153
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,378
Joe.

1154
01:06:48,422 --> 01:06:51,425
Play louder. Come on, play.

1155
01:06:51,550 --> 01:06:54,052
(♪ Jazz)

1156
01:06:56,221 --> 01:06:57,389
Is that what life is?

1157
01:06:59,224 --> 01:07:02,394
Joe, you didn't know
what was right for you.

1158
01:07:02,519 --> 01:07:05,397
A person has to know what's right
for them and do it, no matter what.

1159
01:07:07,149 --> 01:07:10,235
I took a risk to make a million.
Wasn't that right for me?

1160
01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:12,446
I lost, but Hall is wrong

1161
01:07:12,571 --> 01:07:14,948
if he thinks I'm gonna spend
the rest of my life in jail.

1162
01:07:15,073 --> 01:07:18,827
I'm leaving, Doris. I'm running away
with a pocketful of money.

1163
01:07:18,952 --> 01:07:20,203
You wanna come?

1164
01:07:20,328 --> 01:07:22,539
The money is for you, too,
if you want it.

1165
01:07:22,664 --> 01:07:27,085
Oh, Joe, I don't want this money.
Nobody wants it.

1166
01:07:27,210 --> 01:07:32,632
I want somehow to get you, Joe.
To save you for yourself and myself.

1167
01:07:33,341 --> 01:07:36,762
Somehow you're wild and crazy
and stuck in a trap.

1168
01:07:36,887 --> 01:07:39,973
And somehow you won't fight
to get out.

1169
01:07:40,724 --> 01:07:42,893
And somehow I love you.

1170
01:07:45,020 --> 01:07:46,521
Thanks.

1171
01:07:51,318 --> 01:07:52,652
Sam.

1172
01:08:18,178 --> 01:08:19,596
(Music stops)

1173
01:08:41,660 --> 01:08:43,078
Joe!

1174
01:08:49,793 --> 01:08:54,047
- You make up your mind yet, Ficco?
- I'm thinking it over, Ben.

1175
01:09:06,309 --> 01:09:09,146
It's only going to be one way, Ficco,
and no other.

1176
01:09:09,771 --> 01:09:11,773
You took that gun of yours
and jazzed up the town.

1177
01:09:11,898 --> 01:09:15,694
You killed one man.
And kidnapped another.

1178
01:09:16,403 --> 01:09:18,989
I was on the outside, Ben,
with a gun and broke.

1179
01:09:19,114 --> 01:09:21,533
You was on the inside
with the money and the organization.

1180
01:09:21,658 --> 01:09:23,618
- I wanted in.
- All right, I'm taking you in.

1181
01:09:23,743 --> 01:09:25,370
On my terms, Ficco, not yours.

1182
01:09:25,495 --> 01:09:28,331
Any way you say, Ben,
as long as I'm in.

1183
01:09:30,250 --> 01:09:32,752
All right, here's the situation.

1184
01:09:32,878 --> 01:09:35,881
All the legal Charlies from the corner cop
up to Hall and the governor

1185
01:09:36,006 --> 01:09:39,134
are gonna be screaming for action
after what you did tonight.

1186
01:09:39,259 --> 01:09:41,887
They'll raid my banks
up and down the line, night and day.

1187
01:09:42,012 --> 01:09:45,515
And everybody working for me
is gonna wanna quit.

1188
01:09:47,559 --> 01:09:49,936
I want you to take your boys
and hold those people in line.

1189
01:09:50,437 --> 01:09:53,440
Do what you have to do.
Go as far as you have to go.

1190
01:09:53,565 --> 01:09:56,735
No matter how tough Hall gets,
those banks are going to operate.

1191
01:09:56,860 --> 01:09:59,487
I want that money coming in.
No matter what.

1192
01:09:59,613 --> 01:10:03,742
An nobody quits, understand?
Not even the janitor.

1193
01:10:03,867 --> 01:10:05,035
It's a deal, Ben.

1194
01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:06,661
(Phone ringing)

1195
01:10:06,786 --> 01:10:09,539
(Tucker) Phone's no good to us.
Hall's got it tapped.

1196
01:10:09,664 --> 01:10:12,751
It's a direct wire,
right to the special prosecutor's office.

1197
01:10:13,210 --> 01:10:15,587
And another thing, Ficco.
No phones.

1198
01:10:15,712 --> 01:10:18,131
Nobody talks over the phone
about anything.

1199
01:10:18,256 --> 01:10:21,092
Everything's tapped
right down to Hall.

1200
01:10:21,218 --> 01:10:23,803
You'll get in touch with me
through Joe Morse.

1201
01:10:23,929 --> 01:10:26,890
You report to him personally.
Everyday, everything.

1202
01:10:27,015 --> 01:10:28,099
You know where I am.

1203
01:10:28,225 --> 01:10:30,560
I don't think I can do business
with Joe Morse.

1204
01:10:30,685 --> 01:10:32,437
What do you need him
in this for anyway, Ben?

1205
01:10:32,562 --> 01:10:33,563
Blow him off, get rid of him.

1206
01:10:33,688 --> 01:10:36,149
He won't be worth a dime
when the going gets tough.

1207
01:10:36,274 --> 01:10:37,776
The shysters scare easy.

1208
01:10:37,901 --> 01:10:40,528
Besides, he won't wanna do business
with me on account of his brother.

1209
01:10:40,654 --> 01:10:42,822
I'll handle him.
You just turn his brother loose.

1210
01:10:42,948 --> 01:10:45,116
- I'll take care of Joe.
- We got a problem there, Ben.

1211
01:10:45,242 --> 01:10:47,244
(Knock on door)

1212
01:10:55,168 --> 01:10:57,504
Joe, are you crazy?

1213
01:10:57,629 --> 01:11:00,465
Are you crazy, coming here like this
in the middle of the night?

1214
01:11:00,590 --> 01:11:03,176
(Tucker) I've been waiting for you
all night, Joe. Where have you been?

1215
01:11:03,301 --> 01:11:05,470
Where's my brother, Ben?

1216
01:11:08,473 --> 01:11:11,142
Where's my brother?
Where's my brother?

1217
01:11:11,268 --> 01:11:14,062
Where's my brother? Where's Ficco?
Where did Ficco take my brother?

1218
01:11:14,187 --> 01:11:15,355
This is Ficco.

1219
01:11:15,480 --> 01:11:17,315
I made all my arrangements, Joe.
He's coming in with us

1220
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:19,359
to help us hide this mess
from Hall's glory boys.

1221
01:11:19,484 --> 01:11:20,485
Joe!

1222
01:11:24,823 --> 01:11:25,865
Settle down.

1223
01:11:27,617 --> 01:11:28,868
I've had enough of you, Joe.

1224
01:11:28,994 --> 01:11:31,496
I've had a bellyful of you and your brother
right from the beginning.

1225
01:11:31,621 --> 01:11:33,456
- Where's my brother?
- I'm running this combination.

1226
01:11:33,581 --> 01:11:37,002
And you're working for me.
Just like Ficco. Is that straight?

1227
01:11:41,172 --> 01:11:43,675
I'll have Ficco turn your brother loose
in the morning.

1228
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,927
You see to it
that he keeps his mouth shut

1229
01:11:46,052 --> 01:11:47,220
when Hall works him over.

1230
01:11:48,054 --> 01:11:50,724
Leo Morse won't talk.
He's dead.

1231
01:12:09,159 --> 01:12:12,162
- Why didn't you tell me?
- You weren't interested.

1232
01:12:12,287 --> 01:12:13,371
Where is he?

1233
01:12:13,496 --> 01:12:14,914
I had him dumped on the rocks
near the river,

1234
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,583
by the lighthouse,
under the bridge.

1235
01:12:19,502 --> 01:12:21,171
(Tucker) Well, let him stay there.

1236
01:12:21,296 --> 01:12:23,298
(Phone ringing)

1237
01:12:30,096 --> 01:12:32,182
I'll tell you what, Ficco.

1238
01:12:32,307 --> 01:12:34,434
I'll take Joe out of town
for a while.

1239
01:12:34,559 --> 01:12:38,313
I don't want him here
when the police find his brother's body.

1240
01:12:41,900 --> 01:12:43,818
(Ficco) Why don't you
leave town alone, Ben?

1241
01:12:44,444 --> 01:12:46,196
Morse ain't no good
for the combination.

1242
01:12:46,321 --> 01:12:49,407
Sure, Ficco is better
for the combination.

1243
01:12:49,532 --> 01:12:51,368
He's a killer.

1244
01:12:51,493 --> 01:12:53,161
He wants to kill me.
Don't you, Ficco?

1245
01:12:53,286 --> 01:12:54,788
(Ficco) I will.
(Joe) Like you had Bauer killed.

1246
01:12:54,913 --> 01:12:56,247
(Ficco) Like Bauer.
(Joe) Like my brother.

1247
01:12:56,373 --> 01:12:57,791
(Ficco) Yeah, like your brother.
(Tucker) Shut up, Joe.

1248
01:12:58,583 --> 01:13:01,920
I'll give it to straight, Ben.
I'm not going to my own funeral.

1249
01:13:02,045 --> 01:13:03,546
You're no better than Ficco.

1250
01:13:03,671 --> 01:13:06,508
You were a gunman and a killer
before we became partners.

1251
01:13:06,633 --> 01:13:08,885
And I showed you how to hide
your business from the police.

1252
01:13:09,010 --> 01:13:10,929
Now you are going back
to your old trade.

1253
01:13:11,054 --> 01:13:12,722
You made a deal with Ficco.

1254
01:13:12,847 --> 01:13:16,017
To run the racket with a gun.
And I'm in the way, is that it?

1255
01:13:16,142 --> 01:13:18,144
You've killed before
and now you wanna kill again.

1256
01:13:18,269 --> 01:13:20,772
But I'm not gonna end up
on the rocks in the river, like my brother.

1257
01:13:20,897 --> 01:13:23,733
I'll walk out of here alive
to hang the both of you.

1258
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:31,241
(Gunshot)

1259
01:15:24,854 --> 01:15:25,855
(Gunshot)

1260
01:15:29,234 --> 01:15:31,486
(Gunshots)

1261
01:15:55,134 --> 01:15:56,636
This is Joe Morse.

1262
01:15:56,761 --> 01:16:00,932
Tell Mr Hall and the police
I'll be down to see them in an hour.

1263
01:16:03,268 --> 01:16:05,270
(Drops receiver)

1264
01:16:10,942 --> 01:16:15,113
'Doris was waiting for me downstairs
and we left before the police came.

1265
01:16:17,490 --> 01:16:21,578
'I wanted to find Leo,
to see him once more.

1266
01:16:21,703 --> 01:16:23,580
'It was morning by then, dawn.

1267
01:16:24,289 --> 01:16:26,874
'And naturally I was feeling
very bad there,

1268
01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,002
'as I went down there.

1269
01:16:30,003 --> 01:16:33,047
'I just kept going down
and down there.

1270
01:16:33,172 --> 01:16:36,467
'It was like going down
to the bottom of the world.

1271
01:16:36,593 --> 01:16:38,595
'To find my brother.

1272
01:17:53,252 --> 01:17:55,797
'I found my brother's body
at the bottom there,

1273
01:17:55,922 --> 01:17:59,676
'where they'd thrown it away,
on the rocks, by the river.

1274
01:17:59,801 --> 01:18:02,512
'Like an old dirty rag
nobody wants.

1275
01:18:03,054 --> 01:18:04,555
'He was dead.

1276
01:18:05,515 --> 01:18:07,517
'And I felt I had killed him.

1277
01:18:08,559 --> 01:18:11,813
'I turned back
to give myself up to Hall,

1278
01:18:11,938 --> 01:18:14,107
'because if a man's life
can be lived so long

1279
01:18:14,232 --> 01:18:16,734
'and come out this way,
like rubbish,

1280
01:18:17,402 --> 01:18:21,572
'then something was horrible and
had to be ended one way or another,

1281
01:18:21,698 --> 01:18:23,700
'and I decided to help.'
