Dope, what he try to stick his neck out for?

What the guy inside? You think he'll kick off?

I only creased him. How much dough we get?

- About 15 grand. - Not bad, not bad.

Hey, the bosses ought to promote you for this, Tommy.

Don't worry, one of these days, I'll be a boss.

Then I'll hand out a few promotions of my own.

- How you like one, Pete? - Sure.

Anything to keep from driving this jalopy all night.

Tomorrow is Sunday, Pete. You can sleep late.

- Tomorrow is Sunday? Is it Saturday? - Why, sure. What you think it was?

Friday, why didn't you tell me? We have postponed this job.

You know Saturday's my hard luck day.

Hey, look, do you still believe in that old baloney?

Don't tell me it's baloney, you sap.

Here, Pete. Check this for me.

- Why? Ain't you coming uptown? - No, I got a date.

Drop me at 34th street and 8th.

I suppose it's that swell dish you've been running around with, uh?

- Keep her out of this. - All right, all right.

- Nothing to get excited about, I was only... - Shut up.

Ok, sorry.

Ok, fellas.

- Hiya baby, keep you waiting? - Tommy, I've been worried about you.

Listen kid, I told you before, I'm one guy you never have to worry about.

You've been out on some job.

Nah, some of the boys were coming up town and they dropped me off.

- Tommy? - Now, will you stop worrying about me?

I can't help it. They'll arrest you someday.

They've arrested me before, but what good did it do them?

I mean for keeps.

You talk as if I was getting dumber instead of the cops.

No, but you can't keep on out-smarting them forever.

- Who said so? - I do. I know it.

Won't that be tough.

They'll hang a rap on me and send me up and you'll be here all alone, baking cakes for me.

I don't know why even try and talk to you.

- I'm a chump. - For loving me?

Yes.

That's why I sort of like you.

- All right, so you won't give it up. - To do what? Raise turnips?

Your bosses are the smart ones. They don't take any chances, they leave that up to you.

Listen, nobody pushes me around. If I take chances it's because I want to take them.

I'm on my way to the top, and I'm going to get there.

In the meantime, I let the bosses protect me. It's all gravy.

- Sure. - One of these days I'll be a boss.

Then you won't be able to find anything to worry about.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Ah, forget it. Come on and shove over.

What do you want me to do? Catch cold?

A little late tonight, Tommy. Ed Crowley went in a minute ago.

Yeah? Thanks.

- Hi you, Kay. - Hello, Mac.

Hiya, honey. Everything Ok tonight?

- Sure thing, Mr. Gordan. - Good, good.

Good evening, Mr. Gordan. This way, please.

- Yeah, let's go. - See you later, Tommy.

Sure, sure.

- Good evening, Gordan. - Hello, Bill.

- Well, Tommy. - Hi sweetheart, how's your sister?

- Fine. - Hello, Mr. Corbin.

- Hello. - Hi, Gordan.

- Swell. - Hi, Crowley.

- Ringside, eh? - Sure.

Well, let's finish this one.

- You look gorgeous tonight, Kay. - Thanks.

She always looks gorgeous, you dope.

- We'll be back. - Ok. I wish I had your luck.

Maybe you would if you knew how to juggle a compliment.

- Happy? - Yes.

I like you better this way, It's more becoming.

- Hello, baby-face. - Hiya, kid.

- Tommy, what's Crowley here for? - At it again, eh?

Maybe I should fall out of love with you and then I wouldn't care if you were shot dead.,

- Yeah, yeah. That wouldn't be a bad idea. - I don't like it, though.

What's the matter with those musicians? Just when I was in the mood.

Those clucks spend half the night sleeping.

- Champagne as usual, Mr. Gordan? - Yes, the best.

Yes, Mr. Gordan. Right away.

- How did things go tonight? - Swell.

- Have one? - Thanks.

What things?

Oh, just a little meeting with some of the boys down at the club.

Friendly tip, Tommy. Two dicks out there looking for you.

Thanks.

- Tommy. Tommy, what... - Hello, Ragan.

Well, you slipped up this time, Gordan. We want to see you at headquarters.

You think they'd get tired of making me go all the way downtown just to get bailed out.

Well, there won't be any bail this time.

First-degree robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, intent to commit murder.

What they'll think up next?

Shouldn't have lost one of those famous shirt studs of yours. Come on.

Is that so?

Well, ain't that careless of me.

I must have left it home, but just to oblige you, -I'll drop in after the show.

- I said on your feet. - How about another dance, baby?

You heard what he said.

Never mind the gun, I'll go along with you.

But keep your hands off me, see? I don't like it.

Come along Ed, get me a habeas corpus. You wait here, I'll be right back.

Yeah, I'll have him out in an hour or two.

Extra. Gordan denied bail. Stand trial for robbery. Extra.

Extra, extra. Gordan denied bail. Stand trial for robbery. Extra.

Order. Order.

Have you reached a verdict?

- We have, your honor. - The bailiff will take it.

The defendant will rise.

- Only took that jury an hour and a half. - Cinch.

I told you you have the best lawyers in town.

We the jury, find the defendant guilty of the crime of first-degree robbery and assault

with a deadly weapon with an intent to commit murder.

- Why, the dumb, stupid... - Yeah, I'm the goat.

Oh, forget it. You may have to go up, but we'll have you out.

A new trial, a pardon, a parole...

Tommy...

- Don't worry, honey. - Darling, they'll send you to prison.

They may, for a while. Crowley's gotten me out of jams before.

- He'll fix it. - Sure, we'll fix it.

Back to your seat, please.

Order.

Order in the court.

That's it, Tommy. There's your castle on the Hudson.

Oh, yeah. Hiya, sing sing.

What a dopey name, sounds like a chop-suey joint.

How about it, Gordan? The public will want to know how you like the place.

You can quote me as saying that it don't mean a thing to me.

That's right kid, don't let it get you down.

There ain't nothing ever got me down, once I'm in the joint, I'll own the place.

Well, that'll take you some time, but then you'll have plenty of that.

Yeah, 5 to 30 years is no lunch hour.

5 to 30 baloney, they'll be lucky if they keep me there a month.

It's going to be quite a change for you, Tommy. No tailor shops or swell nightclubs in there.

- If I don't like the joint, I'll move out. - Yeah, in a $2.00 coffin.

Hey, don't kid yourself. I'll kick my way out of that old dump with moccasins on.

Now, just a minute boys. He's only kidding you.

With the connections I've got, he won't have to crush out.

Certainly. Certainly. You're going to see the warden, aren't you?

Sure, as soon as we get there. Don't worry. He'll go easy on you.

- It'll be apple pie. - Yeah.

Tommy just marked up wrong, that's all.

- But justice isn't always blind, you know. - You bet she ain't, that's why he's here.

Ossining, Ossining.

Well, there you are. In a few minutes, you'll be all set in your new home.

What are you doing now?

I got to look my best for the crowd, don't I?

There won't be any crowd, sonny boy. From now on, you're just a number.

- What do you mean, just a number? - Oh, come on.

With the write-ups I've been getting, you think they're going to forget me?

Sure, a month from now, New York won't even remember your name.

Don't worry, Tommy.

Going to be a lot of tough guys coming up to take your place in spotlight.

Say, nobody can take my place. I got color. I got personality.

You guys been writing that yourselves.

Sure, that's part of our racket, giving you gorillas personalities.

- Why, you. - Get going.

What a romantic spot.

- See that all my windows have the same view. - Sure,

- So long Tommy, have a good time. - Well, we'll be seeing you, Tommy.

- Take good care of yourself. - Yeah, yeah, sure. So long.

Not a bad hotel.

- At least they keep the joint clean. - Yeah, it's pretty nice.

Plenty of ventilation, too.

- Got a fresh customer for you, Jack. - All right.

Hey you, where's the warden's office?

- Upstairs. - Thank you.

Hey, here. Where do you think you're going? This way for you.

- Make it snappy, Ed. - I'll be right back.

Hello. Say, is the warden in?

Just take a seat on the bench outside.

Oh, tell him it's Ed Crowley, it's very important.

Hello warden, how are you?

Well, I guess you don't remember me, I'm Ed Crowley.

You know, the boss of the 28th district..

Say, can I see you for a minute?

Well...

- What's on your mind, Crowley? - Oh, nothing much.

I just came up with young Tommy Gordan.

Nice kid, a little high-spirited, that's all.

He got a lot of friends on the outside that would appreciate it if...

- Yes, but Gordan is on the inside. - Warden, give him a break.

He's a nice kid. He's bright, likeable. He's a lot of laughs, too.

Of course, he loses his head once in a while but it really doesn't mean anything.

You know how these young fellows are warden, it's all in fun.

All in fun?

Listen to this.

Thomas Gordan, first-degree robbery, assault with a deadly weapon.

Previous arrests and commitments, January 16, 1929, Juvenile delinquency and truancy,

committed at Children's Protective Society.

October 23, 1933, arrested on suspicion of breaking and entering, discharged.

May 30, 1935, arrested, assault and battery, discharge.

June 18, 1935, felonious assault, sentence suspended.

April 1, 1936, sentenced to indeterminate sentence, New York prison,

for assault with deadly weapon.

All in fun.

Well, there's a lot of us down in New York

wouldn't like to see the kid have too tough a time up here.

You know what I mean.

We'd like to know he could buy things for himself from the commissary.

You know...

So we made up a little purse, something sure, something you can go to sleep on.

Good old bonds.

- Looks like a lot of money on those bonds. - Sure.

Must be, see, about $5,000.

Bales more of it where they came from.

We want our boy to have the best money can buy.

And believe me warden, we'll certainly appreciate it.

Hey, what's the idea? What do you think you're doing?

- After all, I just asked you a favor. - Listen, Crowley.

I'm running this prison, and as long as I am, I'm going to run it without

politicians and without bribes.

People on the outside are supposed to be created free and equal, but they aren't.

In here, they are.

One inmate is just as good as another...

no better.

Now get out and stay out.

When you get back to your ward...

tell those boys you've been talking about I want them around here about as much

as I want a flock of maggots.

And if that Gordan expects any favors, he's going to find out differently right away.

- You don't understand. - You don't understand.

That's all.

- Yes, but... - Get out, Crowley.

Take good care of that stuff, see?

Yeah, sure. We'll wind the watch every night.

That ain't funny, I'll be back for it sooner than you think.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, I want that money and stuff in the cell with me.

- What for? - To buy things with, what do you think?

Oh yeah, sure, but we got to get the warden's Ok.

Just as soon as he can get around to making you comfortable, we'll send it right over.

Oh. Ok. That'll be all right.

And don't forget to tell the warden he wants a feather mattress, too.

Yeah, sure. All right, take him away.

Alright, take him away.

This way Gordan, we'll get some clothes for you.

Just a moment, just a moment. Crowley hasn't come back yet, I'm seeing him before I go in.

You won't see him until next visitor's day and not then, if you start acting up.

- Come on. - What are you talking about?

He's seeing the warden now, you'll be getting your orders any minute how to treat me.

He's right. Mr. Gordan's got a lot of pull.

You better lay off him. The warden will be on your neck.

Oh, I see.

Excuse me, Mr. Gordan, but I had to follow rules.

And now, if you don't mind, we'd like you to see our tailor.

Well, that's different. Now you're talking my language.

- Sure, let's go. - Thank you, Mr. Gordan.

So long Gordan, see you in 30 years.

You'll settle for less, you old buzzard.

Special privilege customer, Bill. 68431, give him the best you got.

Yeah, 36 shirt, 34 trousers and a size 9 shoe.

Hey, what's the idea? You aren't picking out...

I can tell what you need from looking at you.

You're lucky to get special privilege.

- The other guys get just plain junk. - Yeah?

Keep this on ice.

Thanks.

What's the idea? What kind of a thing is this?

What kind of a thing is this?

Hey, look at this. What kind of an outfit is this?

What is this? A gag? Look at this, look at this.

Hey, look, look, look.

What are you guys trying to make a monkey out of me?

- Go sit down. - Maybe you don't know who I am.

- My name is Tommy Gordan. - I said go sit down.

Why, you.

I see, trying to make a fool out of me, eh? Come on, come on.

- Come on. - Just a minute.

Come on, you yellow rats. I'll show you how tough I am.

Come on, if you want more of it. I'll show you who I am, you mugs.

Come on, come on, you dirty cowards, I'll tackle you.

I'll wipe out the whole place of you, come on. Let me go, let me go, I tell you.

Let me go, let me go. I'll kill you, I'll murder you, I'll show you how tough I am.

I'll murder you. I'll murder you.

All right.

He doesn't have to wear a uniform if he doesn't want to.

But don't keep him in the isolation cell.

Stick him in the reception company with the rest of the new men.

Just follow out the regular routine.

But no uniform.

All right, you. Come out of here.

If you're taking me out to give me the works, you'll have to drag me out.

No, no. You don't get any more of that.

You got a big pull around here, the warden says you don't have to wear any uniform.

Well.

Well.

You see?

That's what I was trying to tell those lugs when the fight started.

Certainly, certainly.

Ok, boys. Let's go.

How's about a little cigarette Chief, eh?

- Come on now, be good. - Ah, be a regular guy, be sport.

Hello, sweetie.

Looks like he got a set of burglar tools in the seat of them pants.

Hey cap, why don't you search him?

Ain't he got them cute legs?

Hey, got a date tonight?

Come on, come on.

- Kind of cold this morning. - Sure, sure. Come on, come on.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. What about my clothes? Where are we going?

You said you didn't want a uniform. The warden said it would be all right.

- Anything to please you. - That's the gag, eh?

Ok, baby. It's all right with me.

Machine shop detail.

Forward, march.

- Quite the big shot, will you. - White tie and tails.

- Come on. Let's go. - Look at him.

Come on over here, droopy drawers.

Quiet.

Forward, march.

Hiya, sarge. Pretty chilly this morning.

- Sure is. - Forward, march.

Forward...

All right Bob, you can take the men into the boiler room.

No, not you. You work in here.

Left face. Forward, march.

Forward, march.

All right, Larsen.

Put that down.

Put it down.

Ok, Ok.

I understand you didn't like the uniform I issued you.

I still don't like it.

I don't suppose you like the food or the hours either.

- And I guess maybe you don't like your cell. - It's rotten.

No, it isn't rotten.

It isn't the best place in the world, but it's clean.

I rate a better joint than that.

That's what everyone gets until there's room for them in the new cell blocks.

All you're entitled to in here is food and a place to sleep.

Anything else you get, you get from me.

What makes you think you rate anything better than anybody else?

- Well, they sort of promised me that. - They did, eh?

Well, I don't know who they are, but they're not running this prison, I am.

You seem think you're a big shot, Gordan. Well, get it out of your head.

There aren't any big shots in here except me.

And remember this...

If two men in this place know anything, I know it.

- Did you ever do any work? - What do you mean, work?

- Honest labor with your hands. - Take a look at these mitts.

You don't see any calluses on them, do you? Only saps work.

You're going to find you got it figured all wrong, Gordan.

I'm going show you it's a privilege to work,

A privilege you got to earn.

You're going to make me want to work? That's a hot one.

The miracle man of Sing Sing.

You talk about calluses, I'm going to let you sit in that cell of yours

on that hard iron bench until you got calluses that will make you love to stand up.

Maybe, but you'll never put them on my hands.

You're going to get down on your knees and pray.

Pray for someone to let you work, do anything.

Break rock, shovel coal, pick up garbage, anything to get out of that cell.

Take it easy, warden. Don't let me get on your nerves.

You're going out on that rock

pile and you're going to swing a sledge until you can't stand up.

And you're going to thank heaven for the privilege.

All right, take him back.

All right.

Now I'll tell you something.

If I find I got a chance to crash out of here and I have to kill somebody to do it,

- I'd just as well kill you as the next guy. - Yes, I know.

And if I were in your place and had the chance I'd probably do the same thing.

But the point is Gordan, you haven't got a chance,

- Not one in a million. - Yeah?

I don't know about that.

- There ain't one guy in a million like me. - Sure there are, thousands of them.

They come up here every day, pretty much the same history.

Is that so?

Your parents died when you were a kid, didn't they?

That's my business.

Knocked around the east side, without food or money?

Smartest thief and toughest fighter got to be leader?

Then you graduated to older games.

One ambition in life was get to the top, be boss of the outfit, get the softest pickings.

Thousands of them.

And it's too bad that kids have to start out like that.

I'm bleeding with grief.

You know one of these days Gordan,

you're going to find out that no man has a spot in this world except

in relation to those around him.

You've got to be useful to live.

Save that for Sunday mister, and let me pass the plate.

Gordan...

Pick up that match you threw on the floor.

Pick it up.

Hey guard, guard. What's all the noise up there?

- What's all the music? - Ah, come on. You can talk to me.

Just once, nobody will know the difference.

What's all that music out there?

So you won't open up, eh?

All right, keep your big, fat mouth shut, all of you.

Tell the warden if he thinks he can break me down this way, he's nuts.

- Hey you, hey you. Chief, chief. - What?

You can talk to me, can't you?

Please.

- Well, what is it? - How long have I been sitting here?

About 3 months.

You're daffy, it's over 3 years now. How much more have I got?

- That's up to you. - Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Don't get excited, now look,

Listen...

- Will you tell the warden something for me? - Maybe.

Well...

Tell him I'm ready for that rock pile.

Now listen.

Don't let anybody around here get the idea I want to work, see? That ain't the idea.

But well...

- I'll do anything to get out of here. - I'll tell the warden.

Just calm yourself and sit down.

I can't sit down. Tell him, Tell him I got those calluses.

What are you trying to do? Break your back?

- Boy, this is a pleasure. - You must be nuts.

- Come on, come on, knock on it. - Gordan. Hey, Gordan.

You have a visitor, clean up.

- A visitor? - That's right.

Oh. Oh, yeah, thanks.

Look out you don't break that.

Now miss, don't get tough, regulations. Ok, Bob, warden's special permission.

- Tommy. - Kay.

Other side, the other side.

The other side.

Tommy.

- Tommy, darling. - Kay, honey.

Oh, I tried to see you. I came up every Saturday but they wouldn't let me.

- I couldn't find out anything and I... - I know.

They kept me locked up all the time,

wouldn't let me talk to anybody, trying to break me down.

- How are you getting along? - All right.

- Are you all right? - Yeah.

Except you're there in New York and I'm here in a cell.

Only 30 miles between us, that's the only difference.

But I keep thinking about you all the time.

- Do you still care for me? - I love you, Tommy.

Yeah?

Well then, don't come up here dressed up like that anymore.

Why, Tommy...

What's the matter with you? You want me to go crazy?

I'm sorry. I just want to look nice for you.

I know, but you don't have to look too good.

And...

and don't ever come up to see me again on a Saturday.

- Why? - Because I tell you not to, that's why.

Saturday is a bad luck day for me.

- I've been thinking a lot about it up here. - That crazy superstition?

- Nonsense. - Yeah?

I got caught on Saturday,

sentenced on Saturday, brought up to this dump on Saturday, you telling me?

Yeah, and just to make it binding, I was born on Saturday.

And you met me on Saturday. What about that?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm not so sure about you. I don't know how you're going to turn out, either.

- You don't, eh? - No, I don't, eh?

You bet I do.

I was only kidding you.

- You're not mad? - No, forget it.

It's only this joint gets under my skin.

- But you'll be out soon. - I'm beginning to wonder.

Why? Didn't Crowley fix it with the warden?

He fixed so good he got himself thrown out, he hasn't even written..

- What's he doing? Taking a rest cure? - I haven't seen him, but I will.

Tell him to hurry up and do something.

Tommy...

You won't, you won't have to serve your whole sentence?

Don't worry, I won't.

I'm getting out of this joint, Crowley or no Crowley.

- I'll kick my... - Time's up, Gordan.

All right. All right.

Well...

That splits us up, honey.

- Will I see you next week? - Every week Tommy, twice a week.

Let's go, miss. Come on.

- Good-bye, darling. - Good-bye.

All right.

This is a sample of the psychological testing done in the classification clinic.

These particular tests will not be used in every case but...

the test will vary from man to man.

Rockford you're first.

Now, watch me, then do just the same.

- Very good. - Thanks.

You know the alphabet?

- Multiplication and division? - Oh, yeah.

Answer this question yes or no.

The answer to this question is yes unless 2 times 2 makes 4 in which case the answer is no.

The answer is no.

Correct.

You have I take it encountered some education.

I've encountered enough education to know your system here needs overhauling.

Why don't you find out my education first before letting me play around with blocks?

It's a regulation test. We have our reasons.

What is your education? College?

Graduated cum laude.

You know, as a matter of fact we're fraternity brothers, doctor.

I have one of these scholarship keys.

The only difference is mine is downstairs in the vault.

If that key unlock anything, I'm going to get one.

Where would you like to work? Library?

No. I've given up reading.

Well, would you like some physical work?

Yeah, it might take my mind off things.

Good. I'll put you in the shoe factory.

- Here you are. Good luck. - Thank you.

Next.

Come over to the cell and see me sometime, doctor.

We'll discuss the psychopathic neurosis of the subnormal strata.

If you know what I mean and I think you should.

That's all right Rockford, good day.

Yes, sir.

Now, take your time. Think hard.

Put those little pieces in the grooves they fit.

Sit down.

Well, I haven't played with puzzles for quite a while, I might be a little rusty.

Couldn't we fly a kite or cut out paper dolls or something like that?

Are you going to sit down or am I going to call a guard?

I'm going to sit down, sweetheart.

Ah, now look what I went and did, I'm sorry.

That's all right Gordan, sit down.

But the chair is full of ink.

I said sit down.

Hello, just a moment.

- What's the assignment for Nayson, doctor? - What did he do on this test?

91 seconds.

Well, that's not very good. Put him on the coal shoveling crew.

Put him on the coal shoveling crew.

I'm ready to start now, doctor.

Fine.

How's that?

Fine, you're pretty smart when you want to be.

- Not so smart or I wouldn't be here. - Shoe factory, Gordan.

Next.

Hey doc, you should've come over with a card like this.

What?

- That's to my heart. - What?

You haven't heard?

Don't you come down and think of like that?

What are you talking about?

You want to came down I think of something Tommy to me.

Look at what?

Since that, will be on the cathedral, will he?

- What are you talking... - Just come down and see you like this.

Are you? Joe, Joe.

Next, next.

Sit down, yes.

Your card.

Now, put those little pieces in the grooves they fit.

- Hey, you get set? - Yeah, shoe shop.

That's swell, perfect.

You and I are going to see a lot of each other.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

You know, you made a big impression on me.

Yeah?

Sure, the first minute I saw you,

I figured you were too smart a guy to hang around here very long.

Not so smart to be in here but how'd you figure that out?

Why, the way you look, the shape of your head.

The way you carry yourself.

- I can tell. - Yeah?

And once you get started there's nothing on earth can stop you.

- What are you? A fortune teller? - No.

I'm just a fellow that thinks you're a lot brighter than the guys that run this institute.

- You got something there. - Well, I'm a pretty smart bozo myself.

- Together, we might get something done. - You can certainly sling the language.

Don't let that worry you, Tommy.

There are a lot of people say the pen is mightier than the

sword, with me, that's just a 50/50 proposition.

- I guess so. - Yeah.

Come on, come on, open up.

10 minutes and you haven't put one piece in place yet. What's the trouble?

Well I guess, I guess I'm color-blind.

Hey doc, where are you sending me?

- Garbage detail. - Thanks.

- Steve, it's awful being away from you. - I know. I'm worried about you.

You strong enough to have come, eh?

- Must be careful, you know. - Yes, I'm all right, darling.

It means everything to see you.

Is Tommy Gordan, Ann. Tommy, it's my wife.

- Glad to know you. - How do you do?

All right lady, come on. Pull it in.

Sit down.

Sit down.

She didn't understand, this is the first time she's been here.

All right.

- How do you feel? - Just fine, Steve.

- No, I mean seriously, are you all right? - Sure I am.

I never felt better in my life. Doctor says I'm fine, too.

But aren't you...

How long will it be? And when is it going to happen?

- Not for a few weeks yet. - Who's going to be with you?

You can't be alone, can you?

Oh, I won't be alone, darling. I'll have a nurse.

What do you mean, a nurse?

Ann...

- Something I want to tell you. - Yes, dear.

Steve, what is it?

Maybe you won't be alone after all.

Steve...

Don't ask any questions.

I just want you to know that you won't be alone.

For heaven's sakes Ann, don't worry.

Don't spoil everything.

Whatever else you know about me.

You know that I won't do anything stupid.

Ok, 68431.

Tommy.

Oh, darling, I could hardly wait to see you.

Say, what are you made up for, anyway? Where's your cigar?

Well, you told me not to look too good.

I didn't tell you to look like you were going to bust up saloons with an ax.

Darling, don't be sore. I've got some swell news for you.

Yeah? Spill it, I need it bad.

Looks like you're going to be out of here...

- before long. - How?

- Well, Ed's working on a new angle. - Yeah? Who told you?

Ed himself.

He's putting on plenty of pressure with the bosses Tommy and he's getting results.

Oh, why didn't he tell me about it? I'm the one that's doing the bit.

I don't know. I guess he didn't want to get you all steamed up before you were set.

He's been working night and day.

I wonder what put the smoke under him all of a sudden.

I did.

You know, he was always sort of stuck on me.

He was, eh?

Yes, and now I've got him to where he'll do anything for me.

Yeah, and to you.

Listen, I don't want you playing around with that guy, see?

Not if I have to stay here the rest of my life.

Oh, don't get excited. He won't get to first base with me and you know it.

I know he won't spring me out of here unless he does.

What's the matter with you?

Don't you know the more he gets stuck on you the longer he'll try to keep me here?

He's putting plenty of pressure on, eh?

The only pressure he's putting on anybody is on you.

Well, I wasn't getting any fun out of it.

But I've got to help you, Tommy. I've got to do something for you.

I know babe, but I don't want you to help me that way.

Lay off the guy, will you?

You're my girl, even if I am up here, ain't you?

- You know I am, darling. - Yeah.

Something else for me to worry about.

Hey Mike, what are you hanging around here for?

That ain't the kind of garbage you're supposed to pick up.

Well, kind a like it here.

- Well, hurry up and get back to the kitchen. - Yes, sir.

- Hello Black Jack. - You said it.

- Happy in your work, Gordan? - Yeah, tickled to death.

- Have you thought any more about... - I'd give my right arm to get out of here.

Just say when.

- Tomorrow night. - Does Mike know about it?

Sure, he's in. Look at him.

One thing I don't get. How you're going to...

Look kid, I don't suppose

there's a door or lock ever been made in this world that you can't open.

- If you want to. - I guess you're right.

Sorry to interrupt you boys. You know you're not supposed to talk here.

We were telling jokes.

- Jokes? Well, do me a favor, will you? - Glad to, warden.

- Save those jokes for later. - Sure, we'll save them...

Until tomorrow night.

- All right, good night boys. - Good night.

- How are you tonight, professor? - Pretty well.

- Oh, you like yourself, eh? - OH, yes.

- Stepping out on us tonight, Blackie? - No, no. Not tonight.

- Good night. - You said it.

- Hey, nice night out? - Eh?

Is what I thought.

- Lights out in one minute. - Lights out in one minute.

- Lights out in one minute. - Lights out in one minute.

Lights out, quiet.

Quiet.

- Yes? - Mcclane is here with Kelner, sir.

Yes?

He wants to see you. He says it's very important.

All right, send him in.

What's the matter?

Kelner here just brought word there's going to be trouble tonight.

- Where? - I don't know, sir.

Just came along the grapevine something is up.

- What cell block? - I couldn't hear.

What kind of trouble? A break?

I don't know warden, honest. I'd tell you if I did.

I just wanted to warn you.

- All right. That's all. - Warden...

- Can I have that job in the library? - That's taken, Kelner.

- Yes, sir. - Take him away.

Send in Bennett, Farrell, McGowan, and Saunders.

All right, Mac.

Notify all the guards of a possible prison break, keep me informed of any irregularity.

Yes, sir.

- You wanted to see us, warden? - Yes.

We may have a little trouble tonight. I just got word.

Mac, you take Bill and Joe and cover the river side. I'll take care of the rest.

- We haven't much to go on, sir. - Yes, I know that.

Oh. Oh. I'm sick. Oh.

I can't stand it.

I'm sick.

Help, help, help, help.

Oh, guard, guard. Help me, somebody help me.

- Guard, guard help me. - Here, here, what's wrong with you?

I don't know. I, I got awful cramps.

- I'm poisoned or something. - All right, all right.

Keep your shirt on, we'll fix you up.

Hey sergeant, sergeant.

Yeah, what's the matter? What's going on up there?

Got a man sick in cell block 5. Call the hospital, tell them to send a stretcher.

Ok, right away.

Help me. Oh.

Quiet.

Quiet.

Oh, I'm sick, I'm dying, somebody help. Oh.

Oh, I can't stand it any longer.

- What's the matter, sergeant? - I don't know.

Someone screwy, I guess.

Oh, I'm sick. I'm dying.

- Who is it, Frank? Who's sick? - Mike Kagel, 57.

Oh. Hurry, somebody help me.

Ah, calm down, calm down.

- Ok, Frank. - Yeah, right away.

- Doctor, I'm poisoned. - Ah, pipe down, will you?

We'll get you to the hospital and have you fixed up in no time.

Come on now, on your feet.

Oh, help me, will you?

All right. Up you go. Come on.

There you are.

- Say, guard. - Yeah?

I feel kind a sick myself. I...

- All right Tommy, let's go. - I'm not going with you.

- What's the matter with you? Yellow? - No.

- It's Saturday, it's my jinx. - A jinx?

- Come out of that cell. - I won't.

Come out of that cell or I'll kill you.

All right, go ahead and shoot, I tell you it's Saturday and I'm not going.

I planned this for three of us, the last time you coming or not.

- No, I'm not. - Steve, Steve.

Unlock this one, let me out of here. Let me go with you, I'll go.

All right.

- I'll help you, do what I have. - Swell Black Jack, we need guys like you.

Come on.

All right, Tommy. Stay in your cell and rot.

Get his clothes off as quick as possible.

- Hurry up. - Ok, Steve.

- All right Mike, hurry up. - Ok. I'm ready.

- What do you want me to do, Steve? - Here.

Warden, they just phoned from the hospital. Man's sick in cell block 5, new building.

Sounds like it, let's go.

Get black Jack, quick.

- Hurry up Blackie, hurry up. - Ok, all right. Here you are, Steve.

- Come on, hurry up. - Home, James.

All right, the other side.

What's the matter?

It won't move on this one. Must be some wrong with it.

Wait a minute. Let me try it again.

It's no good.

Well, it worked in the cell doors, got to work here, too.

Got to get out of here some way. Wait a minute.

We forgot the guard's keys. Get them, quick.

- What's all the racket about up there? - Get back.

Say, who is it? Come on, speak up.

Mike, Mike, hurry up, hurry up.

Find it, try another one.

Let me.

Get going, Mike.

Be careful, warden.

All right, lock it up, quick.

Let them have it, give them the gas.

You haven't got a chance boys, get rid of those guns and come on down single file..

Come on up, you yellow rats. Come on up and get us.

If you come down peacefully,

you'll have every chance at a life sentence, otherwise, it's the chair.

- You'd burn us anyway, you lying rat. - You'll never take us alive.

Clear out of there and let us through.

Black Jack.

Black Jack?

Jack, Jack.

Mike, let's try the other end.

No use Rockford, it's a hopeless fight.

You said it, warden.

- We're through Mike, go back to your cell. - But Steve...

Do as I say and go back in the cell.

All right, Rockford. Give up.

You won't get me. You won't get me.

Hold it, nobody shoots.

No.

No.

For the last time Rockford, come down.

No.

Well, that guy won't bother us anymore.

Calm down.

- Calm down, everybody. - Come out of there.

It's all over now. All right, turn in.

- Leave me alone, get out of here. - Come on out, come on out.

Come on.

Cuff him.

Do what I said.

He's got worse than that coming to him later. Stick him in solitary.

Maybe someday they'll realize they haven't got a

chance in the world to get away with this.

We, didn't do so good, did we?

- Take him away. - Come on, come on.

Hey, warden.

- What? - Come here.

If you don't mind.

Maybe you better lock this.

What's the matter, Gordan?

You losing your nerve?

Don't tell me this place has softened you up.

Don't think because I'm playing it smart that I'm getting soft.

Well, maybe I'm giving myself too much credit for your good behavior.

But I'm glad you didn't try it, Gordan.

You'd probably be on your way to the morgue by now.

If I was, you wouldn't cry about it.

Well, maybe you're right.

Hey, how a guy like you ever become a copper?

- What do you mean? - Well, I mean you ain't a bad guy after all.

You didn't think so much of me when you first came up here.

- You were pretty tough then. - I'm still pretty tough.

I just happened to realize today is Saturday.

And Saturday is one day I can't win, that's all.

Oh, so that's what it is.

- 17365. - 17365.

- 14389. - 14389.

Hey Gordan, the warden wants to see you right away.

- I'll take this over. - The warden? Thanks.

45136.

Come in.

- Gordan is here, sir. - All right, send him in.

Come on.

- Morning. - Morning, Gordan.

- Want to talk to you. - Now what are you going to do, fire me?

- Telegram for you. - Telegram?

Why, they're crazy. Somebody's kidding me, warden.

- No, it's true. We investigated it. - No, there ain't a chance.

She was just up here. There was nothing wrong with her.

An automobile accident, not expected to live.

Kay.

She can't die, warden.

If I could only do something.

Warden, she's the only thing I ever had.

I can't do a thing.

Being buried in here was...

- Was never really tough until now. - I know.

You're hit pretty hard.

She's the only thing I ever had.

Gordan...

Suppose I told you there was a train leaving in 20 minutes.

And I let you go to it.

On your honor, would you come back tonight?

Of course, you know what it'd mean to me if I let you go and you didn't come back.

I understand.

Warden, I never broke my word, see? I won't break it now a good guy.

After what you're doing for me, I'll come back.

Even if it means the chair, I'll come back.

- All right. - Thank you, warden.

Good luck.

Crowley here? And how.

And how? He's been waiting a couple of hours and boy, he's burned up.

He's down at the bar.

- Leave the bottle. - Yes, Mr. Crowley.

- Hello, Ed. - Hello, did you have to take this long?

- What did the croacker say? Is she hurt bad? - Plenty, but a swell fool you are,

- Trying to start something in a car going 50. - How did I know she'd jump?

- You could have held her. - Ah, shut up.

- Did she squawk? - No, but she's going to.

- Why don't you throw a scare into her? - She don't scare.

I think she's going to die anyway.

You're lucky that mug of hers is still in prison.

That isn't worrying me, it's just that I ain't aching to get the setup there myself.

Before she kicks off, you got a find a way to make her clear me.

She will, for $10,000.

- What for? - To help Gordan.

She still thinks she can get him out of prison.

- She said that? - Yeah.

- It's a lot of money, lot of money. - Sing Sing is a lot of prison.

All right, draw up the papers. I'll get her to sign them.

Why didn't she get killed when she jumped? I never get a break.

That's tough.

- I must be going nutty, Joe. - What's wrong?

I just saw Tom Gordan go by.

Went up the river 4 months ago. 5 to 30 year rap.

- Sure? - Going to make sure.

Wait for me.

- Say sister, who was the fella just came in? - I don't know.

- Where he go? - I don't know, upstairs probably.

Very possible.

- Now do you know who he is or where he went? - No. Honest, I don't.

The elevator wasn't down, he went up those stairs.

- Give me a list of the people who live here. - Yes, sir.

- I'm sorry, Miss Manners can't see anyone. - Never mind that. How is she?

Resting easily, she's a little better today.

Has she, does she have a good chance to pull through?

She has a chance.

All right, you can beat it now. Come back in an hour.

- But... - Beat it.

Yes, sir.

Kay, Kay honey, it's me, it's Tom.

Tommy, it's really you this time.

- You're free, Tommy? You're free? - Sure, sure I'm free.

Oh, I'm so happy, I've prayed all the time to see you just once more before...

Once more? What do you mean once more? You're going to be all right.

I'll be all right as long as you're here. You won't leave me, will you?

- Don't leave me, Tommy. - I won't leave you honey, honest I won't.

- We're going to be together now always. - Yes, always.

And you're going to get well quick. The nurse says you're swell today.

Everything is going to be wonderful, honey.

Oh if, If I'd only known you were free, I wouldn't...

Wouldn't what?

Gone with him in his car. You were right about him, Tommy.

But I, I still believed he could help us. I had to take a chance.

With who?

Oh, why to tell?

- Come on, tell me. - Crowley.

- Crowley? - Yeah.

He said that the bosses wouldn't help you.

They dumped you.

He said Randall, big shot out in Southampton.

He could get you out.

Ed was taking $5,000 to him.

He wanted me in on it.

Oh, I should have known it was a lie.

He started to play rough, I jumped out of the car.

That's what happened, eh?

Why didn't you squawk? You could have sent him to Sing sing where I would've fixed him.

- I was going to... - Well, why didn't?

I'm making him give me $10,000 to clear him.

Clear him?

While you lie here almost dying, you're talking about clearing him?

But, I thought it might help get you out.

That's mighty swell of you, Kay.

Mighty swell.

But take it easy now, will you, kid? Will you take it easy?

Please, please.

Tommy...

- Tommy, where are you going? - I'll be right back.

Don't do it Tommy, please don't do it. Oh, come back, Tommy.

You promised you'd stay with me. You can't leave me, Tommy.

You've got to stay with me.

Come on Kay, I told you I'd be right back.

You think I'm going to let that rat keep running loose?

Don't do it Tommy, please don't do it, give me the gun.

- For my sake, please. - All right, I won't. Honest, I won't.

Give it to me.

Get me some water, please.

I'll get you some.

This way, please.

- Thanks. - Ok, Mr. Crowley.

Kay? Oh, Kay? It's Ed.

Oh, here you are.

Gee, I'm glad you're feeling better, babe. Morris told me about the money.

You ought to know you can have anything I've got without putting on the pressure.

I lied to you, get out. I don't want anything, get out.

Changed your mind, eh? Well, let me tell you, you ain't going to squawk.

She ain't going to squawk.

- Gordan? - Yeah. I was going to look you up.

Don't Tommy. Don't. Tommy.

Tommy.

Oh, may I use your telephone, please?

- Why yes, right here. - Thank you.

Get me police headquarters quick.

Tommy, Tommy beat it.

Please Tommy. They mustn't find you ere, hurry darling, hurry darling.

Please, the fire escape.

Beat it, darling.

What? What's going on here?

Crowley, who did it? Who shot you? Who did it?

- Gordan. - No.

No., no, don't believe him. He's lying to you.

I, I shot him.

I, I shot him.

Warden Long's residence.

Yes. Just a minute, please.

It's for you, Walter.

- The District Attorney's office in New York. - District attorney? Thank you.

- Yes? Warden Long speaking. - Hello warden, how are you?

Say, you've got a prisoner up there named Tom Gordan, haven't you, doing 5 to 30?

Still up there, isn't he?

Oh, another one of those cases of letting a man out for a day on his honor, eh?

Well, I wouldn't expect this one back tonight.

He murdered a man named Ed Crowley this afternoon.

- You sure there's no mistake? - No, it's an airtight case.

Officer Ragan tailed Gordan to his girl's apartment.

Saw Crowley go in. Heard the shot. Broke in.

Gordan got away, but Crowley made an ante-mortem statement that Gordan did it.

What you think of his honor now?

I think Gordan will be back tonight to give himself up.

Yes, thank you.

Quit worrying, will you? I tell you, this joint ain't hot.

We haven't pull a trick since you went up.

It's hot as long as I'm here. I got to get out of here and out of the country.

Yeah, but how? The cops will be watching all the trains.

- How about a plane? - Eh?

- I said how about a plane? - Why don't you shut up?

That's a smart idea, asking for a plane would be like

sitting right down in the electric chair.

- I'll grab a boat. - And that's risky, too.

They'll be watching the docks along the whole waterfront.

That's the only chance I've got. Sneak out on some tramp steamer.

You know a lot of people, fix it.

- They'll want a lot of dough. - I've got plenty.

- How's that? - Swell, that take care of it.

I'll fix it.

Come in.

- Any news? - No, sir.

Tough break for you, warden.

Well, I suppose this will bring the newspapers and the politicians down on my neck.

They've just been waiting for my foot to slip in the parole system.

Well sir, I wanted to tell you that all of us are with you.

Thanks, Mac.

Oh, I guess we all make mistakes.

I've given the same privilege to lots of prisoners and they've all come back.

It's funny, I thought I knew Gordan.

As a matter of fact, I was surer of him than any of the rest.

- Who's there? - Pete, open up.

- It's all fixed. - Yeah? Swell. When do I go?

Tonight.

- You've been drinking all night? - Yeah.

You better get some shuteye.

You're going to be standing on your head on a steamer from tonight on.

Stick around and keep an eye out, will you?

- Come on, get up out of there. - Oh, leave me alone.

Come on, come on, beat it.

Good morning, warden. What's the dope?

Sorry boys, have nothing to say.

Give us a break, warden. This is the biggest story in years.

You know as much about it as I do, I tell you. I have nothing to say.

- Oh, but just a minute, warden. - Warden's office.

Yes?

Yes. Right away, sir.

- The governor is calling, sir. - Yes, governor?

All set, Tommy. Come on.

- This is Nick, he'll take care of you. - Hiya.

Here, some more dope on your escape.

You might've brought me some flowers, too. Thanks for the help.

- Ok Tommy, good luck. - So long.

This way.

- Follow me. - Yeah, in a minute.

Hiya, warden. I told you I'd come back even if it meant the chair.

I've told you the truth. You've got to believe me.

He went back, he gave himself up. He played square with all of you.

Now you want to murder him for it. I killed Crowley, I tell you. I killed him.

Please, you've got to help me save him.

Sorry miss Manners, there's nothing I can do but prosecute.

But you can't want to convict an innocent person.

I tell you, I did it. Put me on trial.

Please, you believe me, don't you?

No, I don't. You'll never make a jury believe you.

You might've except that Crowley happened to live long enough to tell who shot him.

But he lied, he hated Tommy. He tried to kill him.

He'd do anything to get even.

No use miss Manners, Gordan goes on trial tomorrow.

All right, you put him on trial if you've got to have a victim.

I'll get a lawyer. I'll fight you. I'll fight for him all the way to the supreme court.

But you'll never kill him. You'll never kill him.

- So that was my last chance for appeal, eh? - Yes. I'm sorry, Gordan.

Well, I'm getting the full course in this joint.

I worked my way right up to the death house.

When I graduate, it'll be out the other door, eh?

- Yes. - Well well, the same old happy faces.

Hiya, Tommy. Welcome to Cincinnati.

Hiya, sweetheart.

On the level warden, the other place had a much better view.

Oh, Tommy, I couldn't stand waiting for you.

- Another chicken to be fried. - Hello Kid.

Hiya, gentlemen.

I told you he was a cinch to end up here.

When you ducked that murder rap with us, you was only playing hooky.

- Yeah, and the same goes double for me. - You said it.

So this is it, eh?

Well warden, anytime you get lonely and you want to have a little chat,

just come right down.

- Take off your shoes and give them to me. - What for?

- To rest your feet. - My feet are all right.

I wish you'd open this door and give me a chance to show you.

Regulations, Gordan.

What's the matter? You think I got calluses on my feet, too?

- Hey warden? - Yeah?

You know that old water main that starts up on the hill?

Well, you better have it plugged up, because I've been working on that baby for 6 months.

I'd have crashed out of here in a couple of weeks.

And listen. It was my job and I was on it alone.

Anybody else had been on it, I wouldn't have told you.

Wouldn't told you anyway if I

didn't know they're going to wheel me out of here pretty soon.

You're a strange fella, Gordan.

You worked 6 months to get out of here and when

you finally do get out, you come right back to the chair.

I had you figured from the beginning.

You're not as tough as you pretend.

Hey, wait a minute. Don't ever say I ain't tough.

If I ever get a chance to crash out of this death trap, I'll do it.

- And don't you forget it. - All right, Gordan.

- I ain't as tough as I pretend, eh? - Mr. warden?

- Yes? - How about a cigar, eh?

You're a pest, Kagel.

Oh, if you don't like me, I'll leave anytime.

Hey, 8 ball?

If you was referring to me, my name is Mr. Alexander Hamilton.

What do you want?

I'll give you butts on this cigar, it's a long one.

- I won't have time to finish it. - Well, that's different.

I sure do appreciate that.

Say Gordan,

that talk about busting out of here, that ain't going to do you no good.

Well, I just don't want nobody thinking this place softened me up.

He's right Tommy, I know a guy who spent 6 months digging his way out of this prison,

And came up in the warden's office.

Hey, Tommy, did you hear that?

I bet I can learn myself to play this zither real good.

If I had more time.

- Yes, sir? - Tell them to move Kagel.

Yes, sir.

- Here's a letter for you, Gordan. - Thanks.

Well Kagel, they'll be here any minute now for you.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Hey, chumps, listen to this.

Dear Mr. Gordan, unless you appear immediately at the Internal Revenue Office...

to adjust your income tax for 1938, we shall be forced to order your arrest.

That's a hot one.

What's the matter?

12 more hours to go, Mike. The dance hall for you.

Oh, yeah. All right.

Is it all right if I take my trombone along?

Sure. Thanks.

Well, so long, fellas.

Look like they're catching up to me. Good-bye, Tommy.

So long, Mike.

Give my regards to the rest of the gang and don't catch cold.

- Thanks. - Good-bye, Mike.

- I wish you the very best kind of luck. - Be seeing you, Tony. So long, 8 ball.

- Here's that butt I promised you. - Thank you.

- Don't let them get you down, big boy. - Don't worry about that.

Did you hear that? Hey fellas, did you hear that tune?

That's the first time I ever done it without a sour note in it.

Gee, bet if I had a couple of weeks more, I could play roses of picardy perfect.

Yeah, if I just had a little more time.

Say fellas, I can't go in there now. Please, please don't take me in.

I'll go in a couple of weeks.

- Just give me a couple of weeks more. - Take it easy.

Oh no let me go, I tell you I got to practice I'm not going to die I want to live.

I'm not going to die, I'm going to live. I'm going to keep on living.

I want to live.

Yeah, I'm afraid that's it.

- You certainly play a swell game, father. - You're in good shape, Gordan.

I was never in better shape in my life.

I wish you would let me do something for your soul too, Tom.

No, not a chance. I don't go in for that pearly gate stuff.

It's all right for some people but I don't want any.

Maybe it'll come to you later on.

If it does, I'll tell you what I'll do. You can have all my business.

Thanks for the game, father. Let's try and get another one in before I go, eh?

- I ain't got so long, you know. - All right. I will. Good-bye.

So long, much obliged to you.

You guys get tired of locking and unlocking doors?

- Sure. - I wonder.

If they take half of them out, you could cut down on your working hours.

So this is what they call the dance hall, eh?

- Yeah. - Nice place.

I don't know why you kept me away from here so long.

As a matter of fact, I wouldn't mind staying here for a while.

- Say, is this the place I go out? - That's right, Gordan.

- How much longer I got? - Until 11:00 tonight.

Oh, that gives me plenty of time.

Almighty god, who has given us grace at this time,

with one accord we make our common supplication unto thee;

Dost promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy name,

thou wilt grant their requests. Fulfill now, o lord...

Hey, guard, what time is it?

- 12 minutes to 11:00. - Thanks.

Tommy, Tommy.

They wouldn't believe me, Tommy.

I swore a hundred times I did it. You know that, don't you?

I know honey, I know you did everything you could.

Tommy, you know I'm telling the truth.

Warden, I killed him. I, I killed him. Why can't they believe me?

Kay, that's no use now. They knew I was there and they knew I'd kill him.

But you didn't. I lied, half of it was a lie.

Tommy was there when Crowley came in, just like the copper testified.

They were fighting and Crowley was killing him. I had the gun and I shot him.

Tommy took the gun away from me and beat it down the fire escape.

That's the truth. You've got to believe me.

Tommy, Tommy, why don't you tell him that's the truth before it's too late?

Kay baby, take it easy. Look here, that's no way to act.

Warden, you know that ain't the truth. She's just trying to clear me, that's all.

- Yeah, I told you she was a champion. - Yes.

Yeah, and that's that. See, and there's nothing can be done about it.

Now, you listen to me. You say you did it. All right.

Suppose they believe you. Then what?

They'll send you up the river for life. And what happens to me?

I'll still have to do my stretch from 5 to 30.

Don't you see, honey? We could never be together, anyway.

Kay, this is a chance for me to do something decent in my life.

You can't take that away from me, I love you, kid.

- Oh, Tommy, I can't let them hurt you. - That's all there is to it.

- You do one thing for me, Tommy? - You know I will, honey.

- Will you, will you marry me before... - Marry you?

Kay honey, why do you want to wish that on yourself, baby?

Being married to a guy that went to the chair would mark you for life.

I don't care.

You were all right until you met me. I got you into all this trouble, forget me now.

Go out and grab yourself a square guy, a guy who works for a living,

Give you some happiness, a home and kids and all that kind of stuff.

No. I don't want anyone but you.

I belong to the state of New York, see, and in a few minutes, the state of New York

is going to take me out and burn me, understand?

- Oh, Tommy, don't say that. - I done enough to you while I was alive.

There's no use your carrying me with you to the other side of the grave.

- Oh, Tommy. - Kay.

- Tommy. - Kay.

Kay honey...

you got to go now.

Let's just remember the swell times we had together, and...

- And remember kid, I loved you more than... - I know Tommy, more than life.

Time is up.

Father of mercy and god of all comfort, who believeth and trusteth in thee,

according to the multitude of thy tender mercies...

That's enough, father. I don't need any more. Just walk along with me, will you?

All right, Tommy.

- Is there anything I can do for you? - Yeah.

You can give me a light.

- Ready? - Yes.
