1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:12,074



2
00:01:18,871 --> 00:01:19,705
Boy!

3
00:01:27,546 --> 00:01:28,963
City desk. Springer.

4
00:01:28,964 --> 00:01:30,882
Okay, standby.

5
00:01:30,883 --> 00:01:33,092
That Gillette jury is
sure taking its time.

6
00:01:33,093 --> 00:01:34,302
Fixed juries always do.

7
00:01:34,303 --> 00:01:35,678
Boy, listen, smart guy.

8
00:01:35,679 --> 00:01:36,846
If they don't convict Gillette,

9
00:01:36,847 --> 00:01:38,097
I'll eat the final edition.

10
00:01:38,098 --> 00:01:39,182
Feature section and all?

11
00:01:39,183 --> 00:01:41,518
Not even a fixed jury
could ignore that evidence.

12
00:01:42,728 --> 00:01:43,812
City desk. Houston.

13
00:01:45,856 --> 00:01:47,482
Oh yeah.

14
00:01:47,483 --> 00:01:48,900
Hold it a minute.

15
00:01:48,901 --> 00:01:50,652
Well, you can start
eating that final edition.

16
00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:51,486
Huh?

17
00:01:51,487 --> 00:01:52,321
Gillette's been acquitted.

18
00:01:52,322 --> 00:01:53,988
- No!
- Yes.

19
00:01:53,989 --> 00:01:55,907
Something tells me that
12 good men and true

20
00:01:55,908 --> 00:01:57,075
are going to be riding around

21
00:01:57,076 --> 00:01:58,993
in 12 brand new shiny automobiles.

22
00:01:58,994 --> 00:02:01,747
Why? What's
the city coming to?

23
00:02:01,789 --> 00:02:03,915
Hello. The judge make any comment?

24
00:02:03,916 --> 00:02:04,792
Yeah, I got it.

25
00:02:04,793 --> 00:02:06,751
Now listen. Get on those jury
men and shove 'em around.

26
00:02:06,752 --> 00:02:07,961
Especially the foreman.

27
00:02:07,962 --> 00:02:08,921
Sink the harpoon.

28
00:02:08,922 --> 00:02:10,421
Accuse 'em of betraying public confidence.

29
00:02:10,422 --> 00:02:11,756
Imply they've been bribed.

30
00:02:11,757 --> 00:02:13,174
Hammer hard, sometimes
that makes 'em crack.

31
00:02:13,175 --> 00:02:14,426
Now get on it.

32
00:02:16,512 --> 00:02:18,347
Tod, Tod Swain.

33
00:02:27,314 --> 00:02:28,274
Kill the Gillette editorial

34
00:02:28,275 --> 00:02:29,691
and hold the page for a new one.

35
00:02:29,692 --> 00:02:31,150
Yeah. What now?

36
00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:32,528
Across the street to
the courthouse for you.

37
00:02:32,569 --> 00:02:33,403
Yeah. Who's dead there?

38
00:02:33,404 --> 00:02:34,237
Nobody yet.

39
00:02:34,238 --> 00:02:35,197
I want you to get an
interview with Gillette.

40
00:02:35,198 --> 00:02:36,614
He's just been acquitted.

41
00:02:36,615 --> 00:02:38,700
Oh, well, thanks for
the assignment, Ralph.

42
00:02:38,701 --> 00:02:40,576
No, no, he's too tough.

43
00:02:40,577 --> 00:02:41,411
Hey, wait a minute.

44
00:02:41,412 --> 00:02:42,204
What do you mean he's too tough?

45
00:02:42,246 --> 00:02:43,538
He carries a strong arm squad

46
00:02:43,539 --> 00:02:44,498
around with him all the time.

47
00:02:44,540 --> 00:02:45,416
You're not afraid of him, are you?

48
00:02:45,417 --> 00:02:46,457
- Well-
- What are you trying to do?

49
00:02:46,458 --> 00:02:48,126
Be a prima donna and pick
your own assignments.

50
00:02:48,127 --> 00:02:49,127
Oh, no, not that, but-

51
00:02:49,128 --> 00:02:50,461
Well then get over there
and find out how it feels

52
00:02:50,462 --> 00:02:52,880
to swindle the city out of $2
million and get away with it.

53
00:02:52,881 --> 00:02:55,091
Ask him if he's gonna bid
on any more city contracts.

54
00:02:55,092 --> 00:02:56,551
Ask him what he's got to
say about the intention

55
00:02:56,552 --> 00:02:58,511
of the district attorney to
prosecute for jury fixing.

56
00:02:58,512 --> 00:02:59,679
Wait a minute.

57
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,306
You're getting way ahead
of the district attorney.

58
00:03:01,307 --> 00:03:03,141
He didn't say anything about jury fixing.

59
00:03:03,142 --> 00:03:04,183
We're giving him an idea.

60
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:05,852
That's why people pay 2
cents for a newspaper,

61
00:03:05,853 --> 00:03:06,894
to think for them.

62
00:03:06,895 --> 00:03:08,855
On your way, Tod and pour it on him.

63
00:03:08,856 --> 00:03:09,732
Pour it on him.

64
00:03:10,941 --> 00:03:12,318
But don't get wet yourself.

65
00:03:13,777 --> 00:03:15,236
The Colonel's got the
Better Government people

66
00:03:15,237 --> 00:03:16,571
in his office now.

67
00:03:16,572 --> 00:03:18,614
I better go in and break the bad news.

68
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,950
His political machine is
powerful and far reaching.

69
00:03:20,951 --> 00:03:23,494
Years of graft and corruption
have entrenched it firmly.

70
00:03:23,495 --> 00:03:26,622
This machine will work, even
with Gillette behind the bars.

71
00:03:26,623 --> 00:03:27,999
I agree.

72
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,792
If I'm to be elected mayor next November,

73
00:03:29,793 --> 00:03:31,544
we can't rest on our laurels.

74
00:03:31,545 --> 00:03:33,463
We've got to get the better
element out to registers.

75
00:03:33,464 --> 00:03:34,423
Right.

76
00:03:34,424 --> 00:03:36,674
Colonel Bogardus and his
great newspaper, have been

77
00:03:36,675 --> 00:03:39,094
and will be a tremendous
help to us in our cause.

78
00:03:40,012 --> 00:03:43,682
Gentlemen, I've just received
the most distressing news.

79
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:46,268
Gillette has been acquitted.

80
00:03:47,394 --> 00:03:49,228
Think of that, gentleman. Acquitted.

81
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:51,147
It's an outrage, a travesty on justice.

82
00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:52,357
Ah, the case was open and shut.

83
00:03:52,358 --> 00:03:53,858
30 witnesses to two.

84
00:03:53,859 --> 00:03:54,942
What are we going to do about it?

85
00:03:54,943 --> 00:03:57,236
I'm wondering, what is
he going to do about it?

86
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:58,237
He?

87
00:03:58,238 --> 00:03:59,864
After all, gentlemen,

88
00:03:59,865 --> 00:04:02,534
it was our joint efforts
brought Gillette to trial.

89
00:04:03,952 --> 00:04:05,244
Alright, Tod.

90
00:04:05,245 --> 00:04:07,455
- What about Gillette?
- Did you get anything?

91
00:04:07,456 --> 00:04:08,540
Yeah. Got this.

92
00:04:09,458 --> 00:04:11,834
Oh-ho! Hey fellas, come here.

93
00:04:11,835 --> 00:04:12,669
Now, wait a minute.

94
00:04:12,670 --> 00:04:13,669
Now don't make a big
thing out of this now.

95
00:04:13,670 --> 00:04:15,296
Look, I sent him out after an interview

96
00:04:15,297 --> 00:04:16,590
and look what he comes back with.

97
00:04:18,425 --> 00:04:19,926
Say, that's a beauty. Who gave it to you?

98
00:04:19,927 --> 00:04:22,221
- Nobody gave it to me.
- I had to fight for it.

99
00:04:23,055 --> 00:04:24,055
What happened?

100
00:04:24,056 --> 00:04:25,390
Beak McArdle socked me.

101
00:04:25,391 --> 00:04:26,557
Who?

102
00:04:26,558 --> 00:04:27,393
He's Gillette's muscle man.

103
00:04:27,394 --> 00:04:29,060
Yeah, it looks like he hit
you with that big cameo of his.

104
00:04:29,061 --> 00:04:29,895
Cameo?

105
00:04:29,896 --> 00:04:31,104
Yeah. You know that
big cameo ring he wears?

106
00:04:31,105 --> 00:04:33,815
With a Julius Caesar on it with
a broken nose like his own.

107
00:04:33,816 --> 00:04:36,067
Well, you can see Caesar just as plain.

108
00:04:36,068 --> 00:04:39,070
Oh, look. Here's another
Caesar right on his chin.

109
00:04:39,071 --> 00:04:41,031
That's my dimple. What do you see-

110
00:04:45,452 --> 00:04:48,329
Springer. What's going on here?

111
00:04:48,330 --> 00:04:51,082
Swain's just been assaulted
by one of Gillette's gorillas.

112
00:04:51,083 --> 00:04:52,875
Well, he wouldn't, he wouldn't dare.

113
00:04:52,876 --> 00:04:55,087
Well, maybe I'm wrong.

114
00:04:55,129 --> 00:04:57,046
No, Swain, you're right.

115
00:04:57,047 --> 00:04:58,631
You've shown courage.

116
00:04:58,632 --> 00:05:01,509
Gentlemen, this concerns us all.

117
00:05:01,510 --> 00:05:03,302
When Gillette's thug assaulted Swain,

118
00:05:03,303 --> 00:05:06,431
he struck at "The World"
and all it stands for.

119
00:05:06,432 --> 00:05:07,349
Now, we've been fighting him

120
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:09,434
and this element for a long time.

121
00:05:09,435 --> 00:05:11,519
Now, gentlemen, I call on
each and every one of you

122
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,397
to fight him as we've never fought before.

123
00:05:15,065 --> 00:05:15,899
Huh!

124
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:17,150
You know, that's
very, very good, Colonel

125
00:05:17,151 --> 00:05:19,193
and very convincing.

126
00:05:19,194 --> 00:05:21,404
Oh, my good friends the
Better Government Committee.

127
00:05:21,405 --> 00:05:22,780
Now, isn't this a coincidence?

128
00:05:22,781 --> 00:05:25,825
You know, I'd been wanting
to talk to you gentlemen too.

129
00:05:25,826 --> 00:05:26,951
What do you want, Gillette?

130
00:05:26,952 --> 00:05:28,077
You know, if you had a flute,

131
00:05:28,078 --> 00:05:30,288
you'd look like the Pied Piper
with those rats behind you.

132
00:05:30,289 --> 00:05:32,206
You called me that in the paper.

133
00:05:32,207 --> 00:05:34,500
How do you think it makes my wife feel?

134
00:05:34,501 --> 00:05:36,127
How do you think it makes the rats feel?

135
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:39,380
Oh, maybe you'd like
to meet Julius Caesar.

136
00:05:39,381 --> 00:05:40,756
Yeah, maybe you'd like
to introduce him to me.

137
00:05:40,757 --> 00:05:42,216
Nah, nah, no, no. Relax.

138
00:05:42,217 --> 00:05:43,927
I'll take care of this, Houston.

139
00:05:44,970 --> 00:05:47,013
Gillette, what's your business here?

140
00:05:47,014 --> 00:05:48,598
It's strictly social.

141
00:05:48,599 --> 00:05:50,850
I just dropped in to pay my respects.

142
00:05:50,851 --> 00:05:52,143
Of course, if I was the kind of a fellow

143
00:05:52,144 --> 00:05:54,604
that you think I am, I
might be a little bit upset

144
00:05:54,605 --> 00:05:57,816
about the way that you tried
to railroad me into jail.

145
00:05:57,858 --> 00:06:00,234
You, Mitchell, and your Reform Party.

146
00:06:00,235 --> 00:06:02,695
But I'm not the least bit sore. Am I boys?

147
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,530
Nah, he ain't sore.

148
00:06:04,531 --> 00:06:05,866
Hardly none at all.

149
00:06:07,326 --> 00:06:10,661
Mitchell. You'll never
be mayor of this town.

150
00:06:10,662 --> 00:06:12,246
And I can probably fix things

151
00:06:12,247 --> 00:06:14,123
so that you won't even
be able to live here.

152
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:15,791
You can't intimidate us.

153
00:06:15,792 --> 00:06:18,794
Well, boys, the big
department store owner

154
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:20,505
that's going into politics.

155
00:06:20,506 --> 00:06:23,508
I'll be getting around to you
too, Franklin, in due time.

156
00:06:23,509 --> 00:06:25,051
You don't frighten us, Gillette.

157
00:06:25,052 --> 00:06:26,428
Are you coming, gentlemen?

158
00:06:27,346 --> 00:06:29,472
So sorry that you must leave, men.

159
00:06:29,473 --> 00:06:32,642
But then we'll be seeing each
other again soon, I know.

160
00:06:32,643 --> 00:06:33,477
Gillette, you get out of here

161
00:06:33,478 --> 00:06:34,977
and take your hoodlums with you.

162
00:06:34,978 --> 00:06:36,896
Oh, now, Colonel. Colonel.

163
00:06:36,897 --> 00:06:39,607
Now I ask, is that the way to talk to,

164
00:06:39,608 --> 00:06:41,234
to a fellow journalist?

165
00:06:41,235 --> 00:06:42,527
A fellow what?

166
00:06:42,528 --> 00:06:43,694
Get out your pencil and paper, boy.

167
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:45,363
Here's some copy for you.

168
00:06:45,364 --> 00:06:46,822
Charlie Gillette lately in the paving

169
00:06:46,823 --> 00:06:49,242
and contracting business
has just purchased

170
00:06:49,243 --> 00:06:51,911
for a nominal sum, Colonel Bogardus's

171
00:06:51,912 --> 00:06:54,914
hitherto despised competitor,
the "Mountain City News."

172
00:06:54,915 --> 00:06:56,082
Preposterous.

173
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:59,502
And I'm changing the name
of the news to "The Sentinel."

174
00:06:59,503 --> 00:07:02,421
Of course, you know what a
sentinel is, don't you, Colonel?

175
00:07:02,422 --> 00:07:03,798
He's a fellow that carries a gun.

176
00:07:03,799 --> 00:07:05,800
That's why no
self-respecting newspaper man

177
00:07:05,801 --> 00:07:06,635
would work for you.

178
00:07:06,636 --> 00:07:09,721
Oh no. Well, we see about that.

179
00:07:11,473 --> 00:07:12,307
There's a couple around here.

180
00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:14,267
I think I'll grab off right now.

181
00:07:14,268 --> 00:07:15,519
Oh, how about you, Swain?

182
00:07:17,187 --> 00:07:18,396
We closed your eye today.

183
00:07:18,397 --> 00:07:19,231
Yeah.

184
00:07:19,232 --> 00:07:20,232
Would 100 a week open it?

185
00:07:21,733 --> 00:07:23,317
100 a week?

186
00:07:23,318 --> 00:07:25,112
Well, er, 100 a week?

187
00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:27,864
Well-

188
00:07:27,865 --> 00:07:30,284
He wouldn't touch your kind
of dough, Gillette. Would you?

189
00:07:30,325 --> 00:07:31,993
Er, well, no. No.

190
00:07:31,994 --> 00:07:34,538
I wouldn't touch your kind of dough.

191
00:07:34,580 --> 00:07:35,372
Okay.

192
00:07:36,248 --> 00:07:37,374
And now for you guys,

193
00:07:38,333 --> 00:07:40,793
I'll double anything you're getting now.

194
00:07:40,794 --> 00:07:43,754
And when I pay off, I pay in
cash instead of conversation.

195
00:07:43,755 --> 00:07:44,880
Come on. Come on you mugs.

196
00:07:44,881 --> 00:07:46,090
What do you think this is? Sunday?

197
00:07:46,091 --> 00:07:48,009
Get back in your barrels.
Let's turn out a paper.

198
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:49,051
Hicks call the Temperance Union

199
00:07:49,052 --> 00:07:50,595
to find out what they think about liquor.

200
00:07:50,596 --> 00:07:51,846
You call the weather bureau and find out

201
00:07:51,847 --> 00:07:53,264
why it didn't rain last night.

202
00:07:53,265 --> 00:07:54,182
Tod, you call the morgue.

203
00:07:54,183 --> 00:07:56,809
Hey, for a guy who's
only assistant city editor

204
00:07:56,810 --> 00:07:59,020
you're doing all right,
you can lay off them.

205
00:07:59,021 --> 00:08:00,271
Just let 'em sleep.

206
00:08:00,272 --> 00:08:03,317
You're the guy I'm hiring, at $200 a week.

207
00:08:05,235 --> 00:08:06,445
Outside, Sentinel.

208
00:08:09,114 --> 00:08:09,948
300?

209
00:08:13,577 --> 00:08:14,578
As City Editor?

210
00:08:16,663 --> 00:08:18,289
Huh?

211
00:08:18,290 --> 00:08:19,874
No, you're wasting your time.

212
00:08:19,875 --> 00:08:21,000
You've had your answer, Gillette.

213
00:08:21,001 --> 00:08:22,377
Suppose you get out of here.

214
00:08:25,047 --> 00:08:26,172
Well, maybe you'll all be outta jobs

215
00:08:26,173 --> 00:08:29,008
by the time I'm through with you.

216
00:08:29,009 --> 00:08:31,637
You too, Colonel. See you after elections.

217
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,876
Are you Mrs. Tod Swain?

218
00:09:03,877 --> 00:09:04,711
Yes.

219
00:09:06,129 --> 00:09:07,922
If it's about the icebox, I gave Tod $2

220
00:09:07,923 --> 00:09:09,049
to pay on it last week.

221
00:09:09,966 --> 00:09:11,342
He paid you, didn't he?

222
00:09:11,343 --> 00:09:13,761
Lady, I'm not the icebox man.

223
00:09:13,762 --> 00:09:15,971
I'm looking for Ralph Houston.

224
00:09:15,972 --> 00:09:16,932
Are ya?

225
00:09:16,933 --> 00:09:18,099
Does he live here?

226
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:18,934
Practically.

227
00:09:20,268 --> 00:09:22,645
When he ain't eating with my daughter,

228
00:09:22,646 --> 00:09:24,356
he's drinking with my husband.

229
00:09:25,816 --> 00:09:27,608
How much does he owe you?

230
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:30,695
My name's Garner. I'm with
the Standard Credit Company.

231
00:09:30,696 --> 00:09:33,072
There's a balance of $200 on an old loan,

232
00:09:33,073 --> 00:09:34,407
and I was figuring-

233
00:09:34,408 --> 00:09:38,035
$200! You better keep on figuring.

234
00:09:38,036 --> 00:09:39,371
Come on, help me with this.

235
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:54,385
Hey, you're gonna break
somebody's neck stopping that way.

236
00:09:54,386 --> 00:09:57,347
That's okay. We're insured
for that sort of thing.

237
00:10:01,184 --> 00:10:02,018
Four bits.

238
00:10:15,574 --> 00:10:16,658
That's my daughter.

239
00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:18,993
Ma! Ma, are you gonna open this door?

240
00:10:18,994 --> 00:10:20,202
Shall I let her in?

241
00:10:20,203 --> 00:10:22,330
You'd better. She'll come in anyway,

242
00:10:25,459 --> 00:10:29,587
Ma!

243
00:10:29,588 --> 00:10:31,715
Land sakes, what happened?

244
00:10:32,716 --> 00:10:34,633
What are you doing home so early?

245
00:10:34,634 --> 00:10:35,802
You lose your job?

246
00:10:37,262 --> 00:10:38,679
Too late for that.

247
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:40,055
You haven't been fired?

248
00:10:40,056 --> 00:10:41,474
Well, that's a matter of opinion.

249
00:10:41,475 --> 00:10:45,060
Spitzer says I'm fired, but I say I quit.

250
00:10:45,061 --> 00:10:46,479
Oh, these cheap stockings.

251
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,897
They either run or they crawl.

252
00:10:47,898 --> 00:10:50,065
But, Vina, jobs is hard to get.

253
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:52,443
Yeah, that's what Spitzer
just said about blondes.

254
00:10:52,444 --> 00:10:54,528
Now, don't tell me you've
had a fuss with your boss.

255
00:10:54,529 --> 00:10:55,654
A fuss?

256
00:10:55,655 --> 00:10:57,406
Maybe that's what they called
it when you were a girl.

257
00:10:57,407 --> 00:10:59,408
This was a one man riot.

258
00:10:59,409 --> 00:11:01,660
I was posing for the
sheer silk negligee ad.

259
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,537
All of a sudden, Spitzer
grabbed me and said,

260
00:11:03,538 --> 00:11:05,122
"What would you do if I was to kiss you?"

261
00:11:05,123 --> 00:11:06,665
Well, I said, I'd give
him a smack in the nose.

262
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:07,708
And he said he was going to anyway.

263
00:11:07,709 --> 00:11:08,543
And what happened?

264
00:11:08,544 --> 00:11:10,169
Well, he did, and I did.

265
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:11,837
Well, now what do we do?

266
00:11:11,838 --> 00:11:13,422
Well, I don't know
what you're going to do,

267
00:11:13,423 --> 00:11:14,925
but I'm gonna take a hot bath.

268
00:11:17,761 --> 00:11:19,261
Hey, who's that, Ma? Anybody we know?

269
00:11:19,262 --> 00:11:21,639
Land sakes. I nearly forgot.

270
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,265
What did you say your name was?

271
00:11:23,266 --> 00:11:24,517
Garner. Mr. Garner.

272
00:11:24,518 --> 00:11:27,520
- Oh, this is Mr. Garner.
- He's looking for Ralph.

273
00:11:27,521 --> 00:11:30,231
Would it be all right if I
didn't hold these any longer?

274
00:11:30,232 --> 00:11:31,066
Oh, of course.

275
00:11:31,067 --> 00:11:33,902
Just take them into the kitchen
and put them on the table.

276
00:11:34,778 --> 00:11:35,986
He's a bill collector.

277
00:11:35,987 --> 00:11:37,738
Uh oh, what's he want?

278
00:11:37,739 --> 00:11:39,824
$200.

279
00:11:39,825 --> 00:11:42,284
- $200 from Ralph.
- Hm mm.

280
00:11:42,285 --> 00:11:43,994
Well, that's nice going.

281
00:11:43,995 --> 00:11:48,582
At this rate we ought to be
married by 1950 easy. $200!

282
00:11:48,583 --> 00:11:51,752
Yes. It's the balance of an old loan.

283
00:11:51,753 --> 00:11:55,089
He's been paying it off
for years, but not lately.

284
00:11:55,090 --> 00:11:55,924
You know the old story

285
00:11:55,925 --> 00:11:57,967
about getting blood out
of a turnip, Mr. Garner?

286
00:11:57,968 --> 00:11:59,385
Well, you've never really seen a turnip

287
00:11:59,386 --> 00:12:01,012
until you've met Ralph Houston.

288
00:12:16,152 --> 00:12:16,987
Take it easy.

289
00:12:23,618 --> 00:12:25,786
There you are boys. You're home.

290
00:12:25,787 --> 00:12:26,705
Yes, um.

291
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:29,374
Hoo hoo, well, so we are.

292
00:12:30,208 --> 00:12:33,711
- Newspaper people!
- Disgrace to Whipple Street.

293
00:12:33,712 --> 00:12:35,588
Come on in, doc. Have a night cap.

294
00:12:35,589 --> 00:12:36,755
What? Another?

295
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,883
Tod Swain. You come into
the house this minute.

296
00:12:38,884 --> 00:12:40,718
Uh oh. Coming right in, Ma.

297
00:12:40,719 --> 00:12:41,636
Coming right in, Ma.

298
00:12:41,637 --> 00:12:42,636
So long, doc.

299
00:12:42,637 --> 00:12:44,138
That's my father.

300
00:12:44,139 --> 00:12:46,266
You're a disgrace to the neighborhood.

301
00:12:48,768 --> 00:12:49,728
And when you've disgraced
this neighborhood,

302
00:12:49,729 --> 00:12:50,811
you've done something.

303
00:12:50,812 --> 00:12:51,855
Thank you, my love.

304
00:12:53,732 --> 00:12:55,608
Behaving like a fool at your age.

305
00:12:55,609 --> 00:12:57,526
Oh, look at that eye.

306
00:12:57,527 --> 00:12:58,569
Drinking again, huh?

307
00:12:58,570 --> 00:13:00,905
Oh, Ma. Please, please,
please don't pick on me.

308
00:13:00,906 --> 00:13:01,823
We're celebrating.

309
00:13:01,824 --> 00:13:04,158
Just exactly what do you
lions think you're celebrating.

310
00:13:04,159 --> 00:13:05,451
Gillette bought "The Sentinel"

311
00:13:05,452 --> 00:13:08,287
and offered me 100 bucks
a week to work for him.

312
00:13:08,288 --> 00:13:10,206
- $100 a week.
- Mm-hmm.

313
00:13:10,248 --> 00:13:13,959
Oh, Tod, I'll go and
get you some breakfast.

314
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:14,794
I don't believe you.

315
00:13:14,795 --> 00:13:16,086
Well, believe it or not.

316
00:13:16,087 --> 00:13:17,838
And he offered Ralph there,

317
00:13:17,839 --> 00:13:20,925
job as city editor at 300 bucks a week.

318
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:23,385
300 a week. Hoppy.

319
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:24,929
- Well, I'll-
- Did you hear that Ma?

320
00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:26,680
Ralph gets 300 a week?

321
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:29,475
He said Ralph was the best
newspaper man in this business.

322
00:13:29,476 --> 00:13:31,518
Oh, he certainly is. How did it happen?

323
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:32,353
Well, I'll tell you-

324
00:13:32,354 --> 00:13:33,188
Oh dear.

325
00:13:34,147 --> 00:13:34,980
- Oh dear.
- What's the matter

326
00:13:34,981 --> 00:13:35,774
with you now.

327
00:13:35,815 --> 00:13:36,608
What are you blubbering about?

328
00:13:36,609 --> 00:13:40,152
I suppose Vina will be
marrying Ralph and leaving us.

329
00:13:40,153 --> 00:13:41,654
You're darn right. I will.

330
00:13:41,655 --> 00:13:42,489
Oh!

331
00:13:42,490 --> 00:13:44,156
Well, I'll tell you, Vina,
you got the whole thing wrong.

332
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,282
- Wrong?
- Yeah.

333
00:13:45,283 --> 00:13:46,659
Why isn't it true?

334
00:13:46,660 --> 00:13:49,244
Well, it's true that he
offered me the job, but-

335
00:13:49,245 --> 00:13:51,164
But he turned it down.

336
00:13:56,086 --> 00:13:58,253
You turned it down?

337
00:13:58,254 --> 00:14:00,714
He as good as kicked Gillette
right out of the office.

338
00:14:00,715 --> 00:14:02,801
Ow, ow. Well, you did, didn't you?

339
00:14:04,844 --> 00:14:06,345
Oh, honey. Don't take it like that.

340
00:14:06,346 --> 00:14:07,179
You see-

341
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:08,014
Yeah, you didn't expect us to work

342
00:14:08,015 --> 00:14:09,598
for a guy like Gillette, did you?

343
00:14:09,599 --> 00:14:11,309
300 a week.

344
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,646
Oh, Vina, try to understand.

345
00:14:15,647 --> 00:14:17,398
So you turned it down, huh?

346
00:14:17,399 --> 00:14:18,607
Now holds your horses, Ma.

347
00:14:18,608 --> 00:14:21,068
A man doesn't spend his whole
life in a decent profession

348
00:14:21,069 --> 00:14:22,319
and then turn around just like that

349
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,904
and kick it in the pants.

350
00:14:23,905 --> 00:14:25,572
Well, look, honey,
Gillette isn't figuring

351
00:14:25,573 --> 00:14:26,449
on running a newspaper.

352
00:14:26,450 --> 00:14:27,950
He's figuring on running a racket.

353
00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:28,785
You wouldn't expect me to-

354
00:14:28,786 --> 00:14:30,369
No, I wouldn't expect you to be anything

355
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:31,954
but a high-minded mug.

356
00:14:31,955 --> 00:14:33,998
You'd risk your neck for a 2 cents scoop.

357
00:14:33,999 --> 00:14:35,749
You've got the nerve to ask an ax murderer

358
00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:37,126
to hold it for a picture.

359
00:14:37,127 --> 00:14:38,585
There she goes again, Ralph.

360
00:14:38,586 --> 00:14:39,670
But when it comes to making your jobs

361
00:14:39,671 --> 00:14:41,338
pay enough for a decent living, you...

362
00:14:41,339 --> 00:14:43,674
Oh, what's the use?

363
00:14:43,675 --> 00:14:46,593
I'm sick of worms with
high-minded principles.

364
00:14:46,594 --> 00:14:49,471
Give me a babbit that'd
fight for his family.

365
00:14:49,472 --> 00:14:51,974
Ralph, why don't you be a
babbit and marry the girl?

366
00:14:51,975 --> 00:14:53,726
Oh, you heard her? She called me a worm.

367
00:14:53,727 --> 00:14:56,770
Oh, but a high minded
worm. That's different.

368
00:14:56,771 --> 00:14:58,148
Nah. She doesn't love me.

369
00:14:59,232 --> 00:15:01,191
Well, I wish I didn't.

370
00:15:01,192 --> 00:15:03,402
What have you got besides
a pair of lop ears

371
00:15:03,403 --> 00:15:06,613
and a face like the
business end of an old mop.

372
00:15:06,614 --> 00:15:09,783
Sweetheart. Come on.

373
00:15:09,784 --> 00:15:11,326
You shouldn't spoil her that way, Ralph.

374
00:15:11,327 --> 00:15:12,995
What's the matter with you, Vina?

375
00:15:12,996 --> 00:15:14,246
Ever since you've been bringing home

376
00:15:14,247 --> 00:15:16,707
a few bucks a week,
you've been awful uppity.

377
00:15:16,708 --> 00:15:18,751
No more uppity, I got fired today.

378
00:15:18,752 --> 00:15:19,585
Fired?

379
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:20,420
You, you did.

380
00:15:20,421 --> 00:15:22,463
Well, if my menfolk can
afford to turn down the big jobs

381
00:15:22,464 --> 00:15:23,797
I guess I can afford to be fired.

382
00:15:23,798 --> 00:15:24,632
Now, Vina.

383
00:15:24,633 --> 00:15:26,800
Maybe I'll get myself a newspaper job.

384
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:27,634
Attagirl.

385
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:28,470
You don't think I could?

386
00:15:28,471 --> 00:15:29,554
Oh, sure, sure, sure you could.

387
00:15:30,889 --> 00:15:32,973
Vina the sob sister.

388
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:35,559
"Advice to Loving Hearts" by Vina Swain.

389
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,186
Now Tod, you know right well

390
00:15:37,187 --> 00:15:38,979
that she was editor of her college paper.

391
00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:40,773
Boy, there was a paper, I mean!

392
00:15:40,774 --> 00:15:42,399
Agnes, get a hold of Willie Schwartz,

393
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:43,734
find out what's behind the apple

394
00:15:43,735 --> 00:15:45,487
he brought the teacher today.

395
00:15:47,238 --> 00:15:48,031
Get a statement.

396
00:15:48,073 --> 00:15:50,324
Yeah. Get a picture of the apple.

397
00:15:50,325 --> 00:15:51,242
Three column spread.

398
00:15:51,243 --> 00:15:53,535
Jenny Tweet wins spelling bee.

399
00:15:53,536 --> 00:15:57,498
Get a picture of Tweet
sitting on her speller.

400
00:15:57,499 --> 00:15:58,707
Get a picture of the bee.

401
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:00,167
Get a picture.

402
00:16:00,168 --> 00:16:03,003
All right. Go on,
laugh your fat heads off.

403
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,254
Many a story I've written for you

404
00:16:04,255 --> 00:16:06,340
when you were too tired
to write it yourself.

405
00:16:06,341 --> 00:16:08,050
And you can bet if I got
in the newspaper game,

406
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:09,343
I'd make 'em pay off in money,

407
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:11,346
not in high minded principles.

408
00:16:12,430 --> 00:16:16,850
Well, who asked you?

409
00:16:16,851 --> 00:16:18,060
Who is that, Ma?

410
00:16:18,061 --> 00:16:19,520
Oh, land sakes,

411
00:16:19,521 --> 00:16:22,815
I almost forgot to put
the butter in the icebox.

412
00:16:22,816 --> 00:16:23,982
Well, that's a good start.

413
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:25,025
But from there on, who is he?

414
00:16:25,026 --> 00:16:26,443
I'll tell you who he is loud mouth.

415
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:27,487
He's a bill collector.

416
00:16:27,529 --> 00:16:29,863
And all he wants out of your life is $200.

417
00:16:29,864 --> 00:16:30,989
Outta my life?

418
00:16:30,990 --> 00:16:32,866
- Oh, oh.
- Oh.

419
00:16:32,867 --> 00:16:34,868
My name is Garner. Mr. Garner.

420
00:16:34,869 --> 00:16:35,829
- How do you do, Garner.
- I'm from

421
00:16:35,830 --> 00:16:37,579
the Standard Credit Company.

422
00:16:37,580 --> 00:16:40,415
This little matter has been
on our books a long time.

423
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,751
And unless it is cleared up,

424
00:16:42,752 --> 00:16:45,046
the company will have
to attach your salary.

425
00:16:46,172 --> 00:16:48,382
Yeah. I uh, I know
about that Mr. Garner.

426
00:16:48,383 --> 00:16:50,093
Let's talk about it out here. Huh?

427
00:16:51,594 --> 00:16:52,886
Do we laugh that off too?

428
00:16:52,887 --> 00:16:53,763
Yeah. That's bad.

429
00:16:53,764 --> 00:16:55,889
The Colonel's been pretty
sore about attachments lately.

430
00:16:55,890 --> 00:16:57,349
He served notice that the next guy

431
00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:59,726
who had his salary
attached would get fired.

432
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:02,896
Fired? Well, that makes it perfect.

433
00:17:02,897 --> 00:17:04,648
Oh, there's an excuse for you all right.

434
00:17:04,649 --> 00:17:08,110
You're old and licked and
a failure. But he's young.

435
00:17:08,111 --> 00:17:09,362
He ought to be different.

436
00:17:11,990 --> 00:17:12,866
A failure, huh?

437
00:17:13,908 --> 00:17:15,159
Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you, Pa.

438
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,578
Oh, that's okay. I
guess you're right, baby.

439
00:17:17,579 --> 00:17:18,496
I am a failure.

440
00:17:18,497 --> 00:17:21,332
Oh, no, you're not. You're
the finest dad in the world.

441
00:17:25,461 --> 00:17:26,796
A failure. Yeah.

442
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,092
But I don't know, I like to
console myself sometimes,

443
00:17:32,093 --> 00:17:35,804
believing that I've always
done my job decently,

444
00:17:35,805 --> 00:17:36,890
small as it is.

445
00:17:37,807 --> 00:17:40,184
I'd like to believe that
there isn't a day goes by,

446
00:17:40,185 --> 00:17:42,936
but that some poor misguided
sap in Mountain City,

447
00:17:42,937 --> 00:17:45,606
or some kid that's landed
in the police court,

448
00:17:45,607 --> 00:17:48,275
or some housewife whose foot has slipped,

449
00:17:48,276 --> 00:17:49,943
doesn't thank their lucky stars

450
00:17:49,944 --> 00:17:53,448
that there's my kind
of newspaper man here,

451
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:57,075
instead of the yellow kind.

452
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:58,953
Yeah. And what's it ever got you?

453
00:18:04,542 --> 00:18:06,168
I got it.

454
00:18:06,169 --> 00:18:08,962
I'll tell you what it's got
me, since you asked for it.

455
00:18:08,963 --> 00:18:12,841
It got me a friend, a newspaper
man who put himself in hock

456
00:18:12,842 --> 00:18:16,262
for five years so that my
daughter could go to college.

457
00:18:18,848 --> 00:18:20,225
So I could go to...

458
00:18:21,643 --> 00:18:23,185
You mean Ralph.

459
00:18:23,186 --> 00:18:24,394
That's why he couldn't save enough

460
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:25,897
for you two to get married on.

461
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:31,236
So I'm the one he went in debt for.

462
00:18:33,529 --> 00:18:34,863
Oh, why didn't you tell me, Pop?

463
00:18:34,864 --> 00:18:37,492
Why didn't you make me
help pay? It isn't fair.

464
00:18:37,533 --> 00:18:39,993
Well, we're not businessmen.

465
00:18:39,994 --> 00:18:41,203
Okay. Thanks, Cap.

466
00:18:41,204 --> 00:18:42,496
Hey, Tod, get your clothes on.

467
00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:43,956
That was Captain Sweeney
over at headquarters.

468
00:18:43,957 --> 00:18:45,374
Yeah. What's up?

469
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,084
A raid. All of Gillette's joints.

470
00:18:47,085 --> 00:18:48,627
Raid of Gillette's joints.

471
00:18:48,628 --> 00:18:49,671
Ho ho boy.

472
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:51,964
Now where's my clothes?

473
00:18:51,965 --> 00:18:53,173
Effie? Effie?

474
00:18:53,174 --> 00:18:55,677
She beats everything for
hiding a man's clothes.

475
00:18:56,594 --> 00:18:57,428
See you later, honey.

476
00:18:57,429 --> 00:18:58,762
Ralph.

477
00:18:58,763 --> 00:18:59,639
Yeah.

478
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,641
Pop just told me what
you owe all that money for.

479
00:19:02,642 --> 00:19:06,396
Oh, so he couldn't keep
his big yap shut, huh?

480
00:19:07,605 --> 00:19:10,566
You shouldn't have put yourself
in hock for me like that.

481
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,029
Well, I just figured, as
long as I'm putting myself

482
00:19:16,030 --> 00:19:18,407
on hock for you the
rest of my life, I, uh,

483
00:19:18,408 --> 00:19:19,659
I do a little practicing.

484
00:19:20,910 --> 00:19:22,035
When I come back, remind me to tell you

485
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,454
I'm crazy about you, will you?

486
00:19:24,497 --> 00:19:26,124
Nevermind. I'll tell you now.

487
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:29,794
Here they come.

488
00:19:29,795 --> 00:19:31,044
And don't worry about
that job with Gillette.

489
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:32,963
He'll be out of business before he starts.

490
00:19:32,964 --> 00:19:34,674
- Oh, well, are you coming?
- Yeah.

491
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:38,302
I just love raids.

492
00:19:38,303 --> 00:19:40,805
I wonder what the boys
will bring home this time.

493
00:19:44,142 --> 00:19:48,021
- Hey, hurry up, Swain.
- We haven't got all day.

494
00:19:52,442 --> 00:19:56,696
Goodbye, honey, see if
you can get us any dishes.

495
00:19:58,239 --> 00:19:59,490
Oh, what a day.

496
00:20:00,616 --> 00:20:02,326
You lose your job

497
00:20:02,327 --> 00:20:04,786
and Ralph's gonna lose his.

498
00:20:04,787 --> 00:20:06,581
And Tod's insurance is due.

499
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:11,710
Oh, well, don't worry,
baby. We'll manage somehow.

500
00:20:11,711 --> 00:20:12,920
We always have.

501
00:20:17,633 --> 00:20:21,511
Vina Swain. Related to
Tod Swain of "The World"?

502
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:22,472
I'm his daughter.

503
00:20:23,890 --> 00:20:24,931
Mr. Gillette, I understand

504
00:20:24,932 --> 00:20:26,767
you've gone into the newspaper business.

505
00:20:26,768 --> 00:20:29,019
I've got some news for you
that ought to be worth $200.

506
00:20:29,020 --> 00:20:30,188
If it is, do I get it?

507
00:20:30,229 --> 00:20:32,106
If it's worth it, I'll pay you more.

508
00:20:34,442 --> 00:20:35,651
200 is all I want.

509
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,488
Listen, the police of Mountain City

510
00:20:39,489 --> 00:20:41,865
staged a series of spectacular raids

511
00:20:41,866 --> 00:20:44,284
on a number of alleged gambling houses,

512
00:20:44,285 --> 00:20:47,496
supposedly operated by Charles
Gillette of "The Sentinel."

513
00:20:47,497 --> 00:20:51,041
But the police dragnet yielded
nothing more incriminating

514
00:20:51,042 --> 00:20:54,753
than a few old ladies knitting

515
00:20:54,754 --> 00:20:56,922
and a few elderly gentlemen

516
00:20:56,923 --> 00:20:59,883
quietly playing pinochle for matches.

517
00:20:59,884 --> 00:21:00,884
You get the idea?

518
00:21:00,885 --> 00:21:03,261
Yeah. That's a swell story.

519
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,097
You're okay, Ms. Swain.

520
00:21:05,098 --> 00:21:07,682
Send Beak in. And one thing more.

521
00:21:07,683 --> 00:21:08,683
How much time have I got

522
00:21:08,684 --> 00:21:10,477
to get those old ladies over there?

523
00:21:10,478 --> 00:21:12,146
The police are on their way now.

524
00:21:22,990 --> 00:21:23,949
Is it all ready, Johnny?

525
00:21:23,950 --> 00:21:24,784
Yes, sir.

526
00:21:24,785 --> 00:21:25,992
How's it look?

527
00:21:25,993 --> 00:21:27,869
Oh, very fine. I fixed
it exactly as you told me.

528
00:21:27,870 --> 00:21:28,704
Good.

529
00:21:28,705 --> 00:21:29,830
Now you bring it in before
you bring anything else.

530
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:30,790
No, no, no, no. That's
supposed to be last.

531
00:21:30,791 --> 00:21:31,790
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be last,

532
00:21:31,791 --> 00:21:33,542
but you bring it in first.

533
00:21:33,543 --> 00:21:35,086
All right, Mr. Houston.

534
00:21:46,097 --> 00:21:47,180
Here I am, late.

535
00:21:47,181 --> 00:21:48,223
Oh, not for you. Come on, slide in.

536
00:21:48,224 --> 00:21:49,891
Darling when you've
heard what's kept me-

537
00:21:49,892 --> 00:21:51,394
Oh skip it and gimme a kiss.

538
00:21:53,479 --> 00:21:55,063
One more because we're going to quarrel.

539
00:21:55,064 --> 00:21:56,065
Oh no, we're not.

540
00:21:59,110 --> 00:22:00,652
Yes we are.

541
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:01,487
Ah no.

542
00:22:02,488 --> 00:22:03,488
No, we're just gonna sit here and pretend

543
00:22:03,489 --> 00:22:04,781
there's nobody else in the world but us

544
00:22:04,782 --> 00:22:06,033
and those stars up there.

545
00:22:08,786 --> 00:22:10,287
Do you know what tonight is?

546
00:22:10,288 --> 00:22:11,329
Mm-hmm.

547
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:12,457
Engaged three years.

548
00:22:13,458 --> 00:22:15,208
Boy, that's a miracle.

549
00:22:15,209 --> 00:22:16,043
What is?

550
00:22:16,044 --> 00:22:17,462
That you stood me that long.

551
00:22:18,504 --> 00:22:20,714
Mm. It's more of a
miracle how you stood me.

552
00:22:20,715 --> 00:22:22,007
Oh, I don't know.

553
00:22:22,008 --> 00:22:23,634
You're a pretty attractive wench.

554
00:22:24,719 --> 00:22:25,553
Thank you.

555
00:22:25,554 --> 00:22:27,304
Even if you are opinionated.

556
00:22:27,305 --> 00:22:28,139
Me?

557
00:22:28,140 --> 00:22:29,890
Disrespectful to your betters.

558
00:22:29,891 --> 00:22:31,808
- Humph.
- Filthy temper.

559
00:22:31,809 --> 00:22:33,226
Pig.

560
00:22:33,227 --> 00:22:35,395
Ah, but you're just what I want.

561
00:22:35,396 --> 00:22:37,939
I wouldn't change a bone in your head.

562
00:22:37,940 --> 00:22:40,317
That's right. Go ahead and beat me.

563
00:22:40,318 --> 00:22:41,527
But I do love you.

564
00:22:41,569 --> 00:22:42,944
Well, you oughta.

565
00:22:42,945 --> 00:22:44,696
You're my girl, aren't you?

566
00:22:44,697 --> 00:22:46,365
Mm-hmm. Your girl.

567
00:22:47,325 --> 00:22:48,451
Your engaged girl.

568
00:22:50,661 --> 00:22:52,037
- Ralph.
- Hmm.

569
00:22:52,038 --> 00:22:53,497
Because it's our anniversary,

570
00:22:53,498 --> 00:22:55,123
will you promise me something?

571
00:22:55,124 --> 00:22:56,791
Sure. What?

572
00:22:56,792 --> 00:22:58,752
That you won't get angry tonight

573
00:22:58,753 --> 00:23:00,545
no matter what I tell you.

574
00:23:00,546 --> 00:23:02,422
What have you been up to now?

575
00:23:02,423 --> 00:23:03,924
Promise.

576
00:23:03,925 --> 00:23:05,425
Alright.

577
00:23:05,426 --> 00:23:06,551
You know where I just came from?

578
00:23:06,552 --> 00:23:07,844
No. Where?

579
00:23:07,845 --> 00:23:10,305
Mr. Gillette's office at "The Sentinel."

580
00:23:10,306 --> 00:23:12,974
Gillette? What were you doing there?

581
00:23:12,975 --> 00:23:13,809
Getting a job.

582
00:23:13,810 --> 00:23:14,809
Doing what?

583
00:23:14,810 --> 00:23:15,645
Reporter.

584
00:23:16,646 --> 00:23:17,480
Oh, you're kidding.

585
00:23:17,481 --> 00:23:18,940
No, really. I start tomorrow.

586
00:23:19,899 --> 00:23:21,691
Well, don't look so tragic, dear.

587
00:23:21,692 --> 00:23:23,902
You might have known I'd
do something about it.

588
00:23:23,903 --> 00:23:25,278
About what?

589
00:23:25,279 --> 00:23:27,822
About paying back some
of that money I owe you.

590
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:30,325
Oh, no, that's out. You're
not going to work for Gillette?

591
00:23:30,326 --> 00:23:31,160
Oh, yes I am.

592
00:23:31,161 --> 00:23:33,286
I tell you. It's out.

593
00:23:33,287 --> 00:23:34,121
Well, if we're gonna fight about it,

594
00:23:34,122 --> 00:23:35,413
you might as well know the rest.

595
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:37,959
I paid off the credit
company. Here's your receipt.

596
00:23:41,254 --> 00:23:43,756
Where did you get the money?

597
00:23:45,841 --> 00:23:46,717
Where did you get the money?

598
00:23:46,718 --> 00:23:48,009
From Mr. Gillette.

599
00:23:48,010 --> 00:23:49,177
Yeah. But $200.

600
00:23:49,178 --> 00:23:51,179
Did you get an advance in salary?

601
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:53,307
No. I, I did him a service.

602
00:23:54,225 --> 00:23:55,059
What service?

603
00:23:56,686 --> 00:23:59,313
Well, I, I tipped him off to the raid.

604
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:01,524
You did?

605
00:24:02,858 --> 00:24:05,151
Ouch. Johnny, get those
branding irons outta here.

606
00:24:05,152 --> 00:24:06,112
Well, don't take it out in the waiter.

607
00:24:06,113 --> 00:24:07,696
Listen, I'm gonna pay
Gillette back that money.

608
00:24:07,697 --> 00:24:08,531
You will not.

609
00:24:08,532 --> 00:24:10,156
And you're not gonna
work on his filthy paper.

610
00:24:10,157 --> 00:24:11,741
Oh, you wouldn't work for him, I know.

611
00:24:11,742 --> 00:24:13,660
You wanna be an underpaid
hack, like my father.

612
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:14,620
Gillette's a crook and a chisler.

613
00:24:14,621 --> 00:24:15,787
And and so will you be
if you work for him.

614
00:24:15,788 --> 00:24:17,122
I will not.

615
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:18,082
And I'll be working for money and success,

616
00:24:18,083 --> 00:24:20,709
not just the honor and
glory of journalism.

617
00:24:20,710 --> 00:24:21,544
You heard what I said.

618
00:24:21,545 --> 00:24:23,169
I'm gonna pay that money
back to Gillette somehow.

619
00:24:23,170 --> 00:24:24,629
And you're not going to work for him.

620
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:25,631
Now wait a minute.

621
00:24:26,632 --> 00:24:28,300
I'm not particularly proud of what I did,

622
00:24:28,301 --> 00:24:29,884
but at least I did it for us.

623
00:24:29,885 --> 00:24:31,011
And you haven't any right to...

624
00:24:31,012 --> 00:24:33,972
You do as I tell you or we're through.

625
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:34,848
You mean that?

626
00:24:34,849 --> 00:24:35,725
Yes. I mean it.

627
00:24:37,310 --> 00:24:39,353
Well, then we are through.

628
00:25:03,794 --> 00:25:05,754
From now on, you'll
advertise in "The Sentinel."

629
00:25:05,755 --> 00:25:07,131
Get it?

630
00:25:19,101 --> 00:25:21,395
You'll remember to
advertise in "The Sentinel."

631
00:25:34,825 --> 00:25:35,660
What do you mean by this?

632
00:25:35,661 --> 00:25:37,202
This'll learn you to handle nothing

633
00:25:37,203 --> 00:25:38,411
but "The Sentinel" from now on.

634
00:25:38,412 --> 00:25:40,330
Well, we're doing
our best, Mr. Gillette.

635
00:25:40,331 --> 00:25:42,916
Your best is not enough.

636
00:25:42,917 --> 00:25:46,461
I want life, color, dirt,
scandal and plenty of it.

637
00:25:46,462 --> 00:25:49,005
I want the low down on
every high up in this city.

638
00:25:49,006 --> 00:25:53,009
And remember this, everybody
has a skeleton in his closet,

639
00:25:53,010 --> 00:25:55,637
and we're going to rattle
'em until their teeth click.

640
00:25:55,638 --> 00:25:57,097
Ms. Swain is here.

641
00:25:57,098 --> 00:25:58,223
Send her in.

642
00:25:58,224 --> 00:25:59,975
Thank you, gentlemen. That'll be all.

643
00:26:03,354 --> 00:26:04,813
- Hello.
- Hello.

644
00:26:04,814 --> 00:26:05,814
Hello, Ms. Swain.

645
00:26:05,815 --> 00:26:06,940
It's nice to see you back again.

646
00:26:06,941 --> 00:26:08,234
Back from the wars.

647
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:10,944
Hm-mm.

648
00:26:10,945 --> 00:26:12,821
I must say that you make a charming maid.

649
00:26:12,822 --> 00:26:13,698
Did you have any trouble?

650
00:26:13,699 --> 00:26:14,823
Only with the butler.

651
00:26:14,824 --> 00:26:15,700
He must have been a wrestler

652
00:26:15,701 --> 00:26:17,450
before they put that monkey suit on him.

653
00:26:17,451 --> 00:26:19,953
I hope Mr. Mitchell was
satisfied with your work.

654
00:26:19,954 --> 00:26:20,913
Well, he ought to be.

655
00:26:20,914 --> 00:26:22,163
The inside of his desk hasn't had

656
00:26:22,164 --> 00:26:24,457
such a thorough cleaning
since it was built.

657
00:26:24,458 --> 00:26:25,875
Find anything?

658
00:26:25,876 --> 00:26:27,169
Run your eye over these.

659
00:26:33,259 --> 00:26:35,261
Why, this is marvelous.

660
00:26:37,972 --> 00:26:39,222
You realize young lady,

661
00:26:39,223 --> 00:26:42,392
you've, you've performed
a great public service.

662
00:26:42,393 --> 00:26:43,227
What a story.

663
00:26:43,228 --> 00:26:44,686
Well, I better start writing it.

664
00:26:44,687 --> 00:26:45,521
Yes. Right here.

665
00:26:45,522 --> 00:26:46,981
- On my typewriter.
- Oh.

666
00:26:56,741 --> 00:26:57,575
Come on.

667
00:27:01,704 --> 00:27:02,496
Decent men and women

668
00:27:02,497 --> 00:27:05,081
no longer have a voice in public affairs.

669
00:27:05,082 --> 00:27:08,626
Your court of final appeal
is the coming election.

670
00:27:08,627 --> 00:27:11,380
You must make your protest at the polls.

671
00:27:19,013 --> 00:27:19,972
The Better Government party,

672
00:27:19,973 --> 00:27:22,307
the party I am proud to represent,

673
00:27:22,308 --> 00:27:24,184
pledges itself if I am elected,

674
00:27:24,185 --> 00:27:25,852
to wipe out...
Extra extra!

675
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:27,645
All about Frank Mitchell.

676
00:27:27,646 --> 00:27:30,232
Frank Mitchell is ex-convict!

677
00:27:32,985 --> 00:27:35,738
All about Frank Mitchell, the ex-convict.

678
00:27:39,158 --> 00:27:41,201
Hypocrite you are!

679
00:27:41,202 --> 00:27:43,244
Please, please keep your seats.

680
00:27:43,245 --> 00:27:44,747
This is a trick!

681
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:58,718
Frank Mitchell is ex-convict.

682
00:27:58,719 --> 00:28:00,178
Extra! Extra!

683
00:28:00,179 --> 00:28:02,598
Frank Mitchell is ex-convict.

684
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:08,520
Hello, Pa. What brings
you home so early.

685
00:28:08,521 --> 00:28:09,855
Oh, got a little thirsty.

686
00:28:11,273 --> 00:28:14,859
I uh, I've been looking all over town

687
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:17,404
for a fellow by the name
of uh, Frank Mitchell.

688
00:28:18,405 --> 00:28:19,239
Have you?

689
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,074
Yeah.

690
00:28:21,367 --> 00:28:23,743
I heard he was looking for a new maid

691
00:28:23,744 --> 00:28:27,330
and I just wanted to tell him to advertise

692
00:28:27,331 --> 00:28:28,582
in "The World" next time.

693
00:28:32,253 --> 00:28:35,004
That's a great little
story you spilled there.

694
00:28:35,005 --> 00:28:36,381
Pretty cute, wasn't it?

695
00:28:36,382 --> 00:28:37,549
What would you give

696
00:28:37,550 --> 00:28:38,675
to be a smart reporter like your daughter?

697
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:40,594
Well, I wouldn't give a dime, myself.

698
00:28:41,554 --> 00:28:43,388
Incidentally, you could
have saved three bucks

699
00:28:43,389 --> 00:28:44,640
on that maid's uniform.

700
00:28:45,558 --> 00:28:46,391
How?

701
00:28:46,392 --> 00:28:47,226
By coming to me.

702
00:28:49,603 --> 00:28:52,606
We've known that story
about Mitchell for 15 years.

703
00:28:53,983 --> 00:28:54,817
You have?

704
00:28:54,818 --> 00:28:57,111
Hm-mm. But we never used it.

705
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:01,030
Why not? It's news, isn't it?

706
00:29:01,031 --> 00:29:04,033
Well, that all depends
upon how you look at it.

707
00:29:04,034 --> 00:29:05,618
15 years ago, Frank Mitchell

708
00:29:05,619 --> 00:29:07,871
took a gal to a fraternity dance, you see?

709
00:29:07,872 --> 00:29:09,998
Maybe he's doing a little one arm driving.

710
00:29:09,999 --> 00:29:11,416
Maybe he's got a drink or two in him.

711
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:14,879
But before he knows it, they
crack up on a telegraph pole.

712
00:29:15,921 --> 00:29:17,213
He wakes up in the hospital

713
00:29:17,214 --> 00:29:21,010
and they tell him the girl is dead.

714
00:29:24,138 --> 00:29:26,055
I'd hate to have a thing
like that on my conscience.

715
00:29:26,056 --> 00:29:26,891
Oh yeah, yeah.

716
00:29:26,892 --> 00:29:29,642
Well, Mitchell didn't feel
any too good about it either.

717
00:29:29,643 --> 00:29:30,768
He's been trying to live it down

718
00:29:30,769 --> 00:29:32,438
ever since he got out of the pen.

719
00:29:33,397 --> 00:29:36,107
You know, a guy like that deserves a break

720
00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,569
and every decent newspaper
has given it to him.

721
00:29:39,445 --> 00:29:42,655
And then to have a
dirty, rotten, yellow rag

722
00:29:42,656 --> 00:29:44,658
like "The Sentinel" tear him apart.

723
00:29:45,743 --> 00:29:48,078
Just when he's doing the
best work of his life.

724
00:29:49,121 --> 00:29:49,955
Yeah.

725
00:30:01,675 --> 00:30:03,052
I wanna see Vina Swain.

726
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,897
- I'm sorry, Mr.
- Mitchell, but I'm a reporter.

727
00:30:15,898 --> 00:30:17,774
And if you're a political candidate-

728
00:30:17,775 --> 00:30:20,276
I know. It was a good story.

729
00:30:20,277 --> 00:30:23,029
Well, I've come to finish it for you.

730
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:25,573
Tell them everything I've
been living for is gone.

731
00:30:25,574 --> 00:30:29,328
My career, my friends,
even my wife has left me.

732
00:30:30,871 --> 00:30:32,538
It's a thorough job you did.

733
00:30:32,539 --> 00:30:35,292
And it's only right that
you should see the finish.

734
00:30:42,049 --> 00:30:44,551
Oh! Oh!

735
00:30:56,689 --> 00:30:58,941
Don't touch anything
until the police get here.

736
00:31:03,404 --> 00:31:06,407
Hello, World. City desk.

737
00:31:11,495 --> 00:31:13,663
She's my daughter. Can't
you understand that?

738
00:31:13,664 --> 00:31:14,498
I...

739
00:31:15,833 --> 00:31:17,125
I won't do it.

740
00:31:17,126 --> 00:31:18,043
She's your daughter. Yes.

741
00:31:18,044 --> 00:31:20,211
But that's all the more reason
for teaching her a lesson.

742
00:31:20,212 --> 00:31:21,462
A lesson she won't forget.

743
00:31:21,463 --> 00:31:22,547
But I love her, Ralph.

744
00:31:22,548 --> 00:31:25,008
I-I can't hurt her that way.

745
00:31:25,009 --> 00:31:26,092
I love her too.

746
00:31:26,093 --> 00:31:27,845
That's why I'm asking you to do it.

747
00:31:29,096 --> 00:31:31,597
Well, that, that don't add up to me.

748
00:31:31,598 --> 00:31:32,890
Why doesn't it?

749
00:31:32,891 --> 00:31:34,225
You knew all about Mitchell, didn't you?

750
00:31:34,226 --> 00:31:35,060
Yes, I did.

751
00:31:35,061 --> 00:31:36,769
Yeah, we all did. But
we didn't use it, did we?

752
00:31:36,770 --> 00:31:37,604
No.

753
00:31:37,605 --> 00:31:38,730
Well, she did.

754
00:31:38,731 --> 00:31:40,148
And because she did
Mitchell killed himself.

755
00:31:40,149 --> 00:31:42,233
And she's to blame and you know it.

756
00:31:42,234 --> 00:31:43,526
And aren't you wondering
what she'll do next

757
00:31:43,527 --> 00:31:46,195
if she isn't made to realize
what's right and what's wrong?

758
00:31:46,196 --> 00:31:48,824
Oh believe me, I am. I'm plenty worried.

759
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,202
Well, so am I.

760
00:31:53,162 --> 00:31:54,495
Then do what I tell you.

761
00:31:54,496 --> 00:31:55,789
It's for her own good.

762
00:32:07,426 --> 00:32:08,926
All right, shoot.

763
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:11,846
Here's your lead by Tod Swain.

764
00:32:11,847 --> 00:32:13,640
"Tonight my daughter...

765
00:32:19,396 --> 00:32:21,106
Tonight my daughter killed a man."

766
00:32:39,833 --> 00:32:40,834
I killed him.

767
00:32:43,170 --> 00:32:45,880
I killed Mitchell just as surely

768
00:32:45,881 --> 00:32:48,759
as if I'd pulled that trigger myself.

769
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:52,137
Right there at the bottom of the stairs.

770
00:32:53,097 --> 00:32:55,223
"It was a good story." He said.

771
00:32:55,224 --> 00:32:57,141
"Well, I've come to finish
it for you." And then he-

772
00:32:57,142 --> 00:32:58,935
Oh, stop it, Vina.

773
00:32:58,936 --> 00:33:03,022
You've got to stop. You're not to blame.

774
00:33:03,023 --> 00:33:04,857
Stop thinking about it.

775
00:33:04,858 --> 00:33:05,901
And then he did it.

776
00:33:09,071 --> 00:33:12,741
I can still see him standing
there, just before he fell.

777
00:33:24,670 --> 00:33:27,588
And they talk about yellow journalism.

778
00:33:27,589 --> 00:33:29,715
This is the filthiest
example of it I've ever seen.

779
00:33:29,716 --> 00:33:30,551
Look, Vina. Look.

780
00:33:35,514 --> 00:33:39,268
"Tonight my daughter killed a man."

781
00:33:43,355 --> 00:33:48,109
Pop wrote that. My own father.

782
00:33:48,110 --> 00:33:50,571
Oh, it's unfair. It's shameful.

783
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:52,447
You're not a criminal.

784
00:33:52,489 --> 00:33:54,323
All you did was a good job of reporting.

785
00:33:54,324 --> 00:33:57,285
Every single word you wrote
about Mitchell was true.

786
00:33:57,286 --> 00:34:01,290
You know, this article is Houston's work.

787
00:34:02,833 --> 00:34:04,292
I know, I know it hurts.

788
00:34:04,293 --> 00:34:06,335
But you might as well take it.

789
00:34:06,336 --> 00:34:08,504
They're afraid of you, Vina.

790
00:34:08,505 --> 00:34:10,506
They're trying to hound
you out of the business.

791
00:34:10,507 --> 00:34:12,049
But you won't let them do it,

792
00:34:12,050 --> 00:34:13,301
because you've got too much nerve.

793
00:34:13,302 --> 00:34:14,595
Now don't you lose it?

794
00:34:19,308 --> 00:34:20,142
What are you pussyfooting for?

795
00:34:20,143 --> 00:34:21,684
Just act natural.

796
00:34:21,685 --> 00:34:23,187
You. What about you?

797
00:34:28,025 --> 00:34:29,902
Vina's gonna be awful mad.

798
00:34:34,656 --> 00:34:35,490
Uh, uh.

799
00:34:44,708 --> 00:34:46,752
Oh, Ralph, what am I going to say to her?

800
00:34:47,711 --> 00:34:48,545
Just say, uh.

801
00:34:49,421 --> 00:34:50,255
Don't say anything.

802
00:34:50,256 --> 00:34:52,965
Just take her in your arms
and tell her you forgive her.

803
00:34:52,966 --> 00:34:54,884
Well, just like that. Huh?

804
00:34:54,885 --> 00:34:55,719
Go on.

805
00:34:57,262 --> 00:35:00,265
Uh, Effie? Vina?

806
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:04,061
Maybe they're upstairs.

807
00:35:09,775 --> 00:35:11,317
I...

808
00:35:11,318 --> 00:35:12,152
I-I can't.

809
00:35:14,238 --> 00:35:15,239
Effie? Vina?

810
00:35:18,784 --> 00:35:21,702
Well you see, I guess
they're not speaking to me.

811
00:35:21,703 --> 00:35:23,621
She's probably up there
crying or something.

812
00:35:23,622 --> 00:35:27,291
Go on up and, and try to make
her understand why we did it.

813
00:35:27,292 --> 00:35:28,835
I'll be out in the kitchen.

814
00:35:31,672 --> 00:35:32,839
Effie? Vina?

815
00:35:35,175 --> 00:35:36,218
Effie, dear.

816
00:35:37,970 --> 00:35:39,388
Vina.

817
00:35:56,989 --> 00:35:58,364
They're gone. Both of them.

818
00:35:58,365 --> 00:36:00,616
Their clothes are gone too.

819
00:36:00,617 --> 00:36:01,451
Yeah, I know.

820
00:36:04,037 --> 00:36:04,871
What's that?

821
00:36:27,686 --> 00:36:31,148
Well, I never thought Effie
would do a thing like this,

822
00:36:31,189 --> 00:36:32,357
especially to me.

823
00:36:36,611 --> 00:36:37,778
Guess you can blame all this on me.

824
00:36:37,779 --> 00:36:40,072
Oh no, it's no use
blaming anybody, Ralph.

825
00:36:40,073 --> 00:36:41,699
She's wrong. And we're right.

826
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,076
That's all there is to that.

827
00:36:44,828 --> 00:36:47,706
But being right makes you feel
pretty darn sick sometimes.

828
00:36:49,958 --> 00:36:52,001
Oh, don't let it get
you down, Tod. They'll-

829
00:36:52,002 --> 00:36:52,919
Effie too.

830
00:36:55,672 --> 00:36:57,507
I never thought she'd walk out on me.

831
00:36:59,384 --> 00:37:00,218
Ever.

832
00:37:02,596 --> 00:37:04,597
Say, Tod, how would you like
it if I stayed here with you?

833
00:37:04,598 --> 00:37:06,641
You know, just so you don't get lonesome.

834
00:37:09,019 --> 00:37:09,936
Be kind of nice running this place

835
00:37:09,937 --> 00:37:12,105
without any women around for a while.

836
00:37:12,939 --> 00:37:14,607
Here. Put these on.

837
00:37:14,608 --> 00:37:16,942
I'll tell you, I'll go out and
pick some grub and some beer.

838
00:37:16,943 --> 00:37:17,861
How about you got any beer out here

839
00:37:17,862 --> 00:37:19,321
in this new ice box of yours?

840
00:37:21,114 --> 00:37:24,117
Here, I'll say you have, plenty of them.

841
00:37:29,414 --> 00:37:30,539
Say, I'm a pretty good cook.

842
00:37:30,540 --> 00:37:31,624
What would you like to eat?

843
00:37:31,625 --> 00:37:35,587
"We're going to a hotel until
we can find an apartment."

844
00:37:38,924 --> 00:37:40,467
Is there any baloney out there?

845
00:37:45,138 --> 00:37:49,266
You know what's the matter
with you, Mr. Ralph Houston?

846
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,393
I'll tell you what's the matter with you.

847
00:37:50,394 --> 00:37:52,770
You drink too much.

848
00:37:52,771 --> 00:37:54,563
Oh, let me alone. Will you?

849
00:37:54,564 --> 00:37:56,774
Who cares if I drink myself to death?

850
00:37:56,775 --> 00:38:00,319
Oh, well, I do.

851
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:01,196
Oh.

852
00:38:01,197 --> 00:38:06,201
I do, I do. Because you're
drinking my beer.

853
00:38:08,078 --> 00:38:09,287
Excuse me. Excuse me.

854
00:38:13,959 --> 00:38:16,961
Well, now that's a fine state of affairs.

855
00:38:16,962 --> 00:38:17,754
What's the matter?

856
00:38:17,796 --> 00:38:18,796
Why it's gone.

857
00:38:18,797 --> 00:38:22,341
Somebody's been drinking my beer.

858
00:38:22,342 --> 00:38:23,634
Maybe you got mice.

859
00:38:23,635 --> 00:38:26,388
I don't want mice. I want beer.

860
00:38:28,348 --> 00:38:30,934
You'll catch it. You
forgot to turn the light off.

861
00:38:33,854 --> 00:38:35,646
Pardon me, Mr. Ralph Houston,

862
00:38:35,647 --> 00:38:39,108
did anybody ever tell you
that you are very ignorant.

863
00:38:39,109 --> 00:38:39,901
No, never.

864
00:38:39,943 --> 00:38:41,945
Well allow me to be the first.

865
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:44,573
Let me show you something.

866
00:38:45,782 --> 00:38:49,452
When the door opens, the light goes on.

867
00:38:49,453 --> 00:38:50,745
And when it closes,

868
00:38:51,788 --> 00:38:54,291
the light goes off all by itself.

869
00:38:58,128 --> 00:38:59,879
How do you know?

870
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,714
How do I, how do I know?

871
00:39:01,715 --> 00:39:03,048
What is?

872
00:39:03,049 --> 00:39:05,759
Well, anybody knows that.

873
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:06,927
Lemme show you.

874
00:39:06,928 --> 00:39:07,762
Look at that.

875
00:39:07,763 --> 00:39:09,598
You see? It's on.

876
00:39:10,432 --> 00:39:11,516
Now it's off.

877
00:39:13,477 --> 00:39:15,394
I still say, how do you know?

878
00:39:15,395 --> 00:39:19,064
Well, how, well it stands
to reason, doesn't it?

879
00:39:19,065 --> 00:39:22,277
If you open, when the man, you pull it...

880
00:39:24,321 --> 00:39:26,780
Besides, the salesman said so.

881
00:39:26,781 --> 00:39:27,823
Yeah. Well, how does he know?

882
00:39:27,824 --> 00:39:29,492
Well, he sells them, don't he?

883
00:39:29,493 --> 00:39:30,410
How does he know?

884
00:39:30,411 --> 00:39:32,537
Well, I don't know how he knows.

885
00:39:35,248 --> 00:39:36,458
I never thought of that.

886
00:39:36,500 --> 00:39:37,500
Yeah.

887
00:39:37,501 --> 00:39:38,919
Maybe he's lying.

888
00:39:40,212 --> 00:39:41,087
Let's find out.

889
00:39:42,923 --> 00:39:44,174
Come over here.

890
00:39:45,467 --> 00:39:46,843
Come over and stand with me.

891
00:39:49,221 --> 00:39:50,388
Now watch now.

892
00:39:53,642 --> 00:39:54,808
Did you get it?

893
00:39:54,809 --> 00:39:55,644
No.

894
00:39:58,188 --> 00:39:59,939
You see? You don't know.

895
00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:00,815
Well, I...

896
00:40:03,151 --> 00:40:06,738
Well, no salesman's gonna put
anything like that over on me.

897
00:40:08,657 --> 00:40:10,699
Yeah. Here, hold on, hold on.

898
00:40:10,700 --> 00:40:11,534
Take those. Take those.

899
00:40:11,535 --> 00:40:12,452
What are you gonna do?

900
00:40:12,453 --> 00:40:15,829
Well, I'm gonna settle
this thing once and for all.

901
00:40:15,830 --> 00:40:17,915
I'm going to find out for myself.

902
00:40:17,916 --> 00:40:20,125
- That's the old spirit.
- Yeah.

903
00:40:20,126 --> 00:40:24,129
If there's anything I dislike
is mis-misrepresentation.

904
00:40:24,130 --> 00:40:25,756
Here, take this.

905
00:40:25,757 --> 00:40:27,925
- That's the old fight.
- There you go.

906
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:29,386
Put, put that somewhere.

907
00:40:30,387 --> 00:40:32,556
Here, do, do something with that one.

908
00:40:34,266 --> 00:40:36,518
Find out about this thing right now.

909
00:40:37,978 --> 00:40:38,895
Nope, nope.

910
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,899
Now, now you, you close the door

911
00:40:43,900 --> 00:40:46,027
and count one, two, three.

912
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:52,325
One, two, three.

913
00:40:53,743 --> 00:40:54,910
Did the light go out?

914
00:40:54,911 --> 00:40:57,247
I don't, I couldn't see. It's too foggy.

915
00:40:58,081 --> 00:40:58,915
Try it again.

916
00:40:58,916 --> 00:41:00,165
No, no, no. You had your chance.

917
00:41:00,166 --> 00:41:01,292
Come on. Get outta there.

918
00:41:01,293 --> 00:41:02,376
Now wait a minute. Wait a minute now,

919
00:41:02,377 --> 00:41:03,253
I couldn't...
That's bad reporting.

920
00:41:03,254 --> 00:41:04,503
Come on.

921
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:05,671
Well, I couldn't see, you
didn't give me a chance.

922
00:41:05,672 --> 00:41:07,423
Let a good reporter get in there.

923
00:41:07,424 --> 00:41:08,966
Well, oh, good reporter? Ho, ho.

924
00:41:08,967 --> 00:41:10,092
Good reporter. Oh.

925
00:41:10,093 --> 00:41:12,928
You close the door and
count to three like I did.

926
00:41:12,929 --> 00:41:13,763
Then open it quick.

927
00:41:13,764 --> 00:41:15,889
Alright, go on. Good reporter.

928
00:41:15,890 --> 00:41:16,974
- You all ready?
- Ready.

929
00:41:16,975 --> 00:41:18,059
Alright, here it is.

930
00:41:19,894 --> 00:41:20,812
One.

931
00:41:23,773 --> 00:41:24,608
Two.

932
00:41:27,902 --> 00:41:29,154
Two and a half.

933
00:41:30,530 --> 00:41:32,656
Two and three quarters.

934
00:41:32,657 --> 00:41:34,658
Let me out. It's cold!

935
00:41:34,659 --> 00:41:35,660
Ooh. Three.

936
00:41:37,454 --> 00:41:40,497
Hey, open it up. It's cold in here.

937
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:41,333
It's cold in here.

938
00:41:41,334 --> 00:41:43,667
Well, are you satisfied
now the light went out?

939
00:41:43,668 --> 00:41:46,170
No, I bumped the bulb
with my head and it broke.

940
00:41:46,171 --> 00:41:49,507
- Oh, well, wait a minute.
- I'll get another globe.

941
00:41:50,634 --> 00:41:52,177
Open it up. Come on!

942
00:41:53,595 --> 00:41:54,971
Let me out of here now, Tod!

943
00:42:12,072 --> 00:42:14,114
Somebody's changed
the wording in my story.

944
00:42:14,115 --> 00:42:16,241
I didn't say those
elevators were dangerous.

945
00:42:16,242 --> 00:42:18,619
All I said was they were
antiquated and overcrowded.

946
00:42:18,620 --> 00:42:20,621
Oh, Vina, don't get so excited.

947
00:42:20,622 --> 00:42:22,122
I changed your story.

948
00:42:22,123 --> 00:42:23,332
You made it too mild.

949
00:42:23,333 --> 00:42:25,125
Well, you had no right to change it.

950
00:42:25,126 --> 00:42:26,794
My name's on this story.

951
00:42:26,795 --> 00:42:28,962
Vina, I know what I'm doing.

952
00:42:28,963 --> 00:42:30,215
Those headlines are true.

953
00:42:31,383 --> 00:42:32,383
How do you know they are?

954
00:42:32,384 --> 00:42:34,301
My own engineers
inspected those elevators.

955
00:42:34,302 --> 00:42:36,011
Sure, why I'll lay even money,

956
00:42:36,012 --> 00:42:38,013
one of them elevators
falls before Saturday.

957
00:42:38,014 --> 00:42:38,848
Beak!

958
00:42:40,183 --> 00:42:43,395
Of course, we hope they don't fall.

959
00:42:44,896 --> 00:42:48,065
But then there, there
is a very grave danger.

960
00:42:48,066 --> 00:42:50,067
Now, Vina, have confidence in me.

961
00:42:50,068 --> 00:42:52,612
Well, I have, but you might've told me.

962
00:42:52,654 --> 00:42:54,780
Well, I was going to.

963
00:42:54,781 --> 00:42:56,865
Well, sorry I blew off like that.

964
00:42:56,866 --> 00:42:59,911
Well, that's all right.

965
00:42:59,953 --> 00:43:01,245
Why aren't you more careful how you crack.

966
00:43:01,246 --> 00:43:02,246
That girl's no fool.

967
00:43:02,247 --> 00:43:03,372
You're right, Coach.

968
00:43:03,373 --> 00:43:05,082
I guess my brains were asleep.

969
00:43:05,083 --> 00:43:06,917
You know, I've been working
so many nights lately.

970
00:43:06,918 --> 00:43:08,503
All right. Forget it.

971
00:43:11,172 --> 00:43:15,759
Well, anyway, Beak, even if
you do talk too much sometimes

972
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,929
you do know a lot about elevators.

973
00:43:20,557 --> 00:43:21,391
Don't ya?

974
00:43:37,073 --> 00:43:38,782
Is Mrs. Swain at home?

975
00:43:38,783 --> 00:43:40,826
I believe so. Just a minute.

976
00:43:40,827 --> 00:43:41,703
Ralph.

977
00:43:41,704 --> 00:43:45,748
Oh, oh, Ralph, how are you?

978
00:43:45,749 --> 00:43:47,291
You look fine.

979
00:43:47,292 --> 00:43:48,585
So do you, Mrs. Swain.

980
00:43:49,544 --> 00:43:50,711
How's Tod?

981
00:43:50,712 --> 00:43:52,630
Well, that's what I
came to see you about.

982
00:43:53,923 --> 00:43:55,924
Is there any place where
I could talk to you alone?

983
00:43:55,925 --> 00:43:57,050
Anything the matter with Tod?

984
00:43:57,051 --> 00:43:59,136
If you don't mind, Mrs. Swain, tell Vina

985
00:43:59,137 --> 00:44:01,263
I'll be waiting downstairs
in the car for her.

986
00:44:01,264 --> 00:44:02,098
Thanks.

987
00:44:03,933 --> 00:44:05,350
Has Tod been drinking?

988
00:44:05,351 --> 00:44:06,602
No. He's sick, Mrs. Swain.

989
00:44:06,603 --> 00:44:08,020
And I figured you ought to know.

990
00:44:08,021 --> 00:44:08,855
Sick?

991
00:44:08,856 --> 00:44:09,938
Yes, he's had the flu for weeks

992
00:44:09,939 --> 00:44:11,440
and I, I've been trying
to take care of him,

993
00:44:11,441 --> 00:44:13,525
but well, I can't be
with him all the time.

994
00:44:13,526 --> 00:44:14,735
And he's got a pretty high temperature

995
00:44:14,736 --> 00:44:17,237
and I don't think he
ought to be left alone.

996
00:44:17,238 --> 00:44:19,031
Oh, mercy me. Of course not.

997
00:44:19,032 --> 00:44:20,949
You can't tell what the flu might lead to.

998
00:44:20,950 --> 00:44:23,076
He gets pretty restless
and tosses quite a bit

999
00:44:23,077 --> 00:44:25,662
and somebody ought to be there
to keep the covers over him.

1000
00:44:25,663 --> 00:44:26,747
What's the trouble, Ma?

1001
00:44:26,748 --> 00:44:27,998
Your father's sick. I'm going home.

1002
00:44:27,999 --> 00:44:28,833
But...

1003
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:31,669
Hello, Vina.

1004
00:44:36,591 --> 00:44:37,925
I don't suppose you'd be human enough

1005
00:44:37,926 --> 00:44:39,426
to go with your mother.

1006
00:44:39,427 --> 00:44:42,554
That's funny. After
what you two did to me.

1007
00:44:42,555 --> 00:44:43,847
Now look, Vina.

1008
00:44:43,848 --> 00:44:44,890
You can be sore at me if you want to.

1009
00:44:44,891 --> 00:44:46,391
But don't blame Tod.

1010
00:44:46,392 --> 00:44:47,893
I made him write that story.

1011
00:44:47,894 --> 00:44:50,354
That's very interesting, Mr. Houston.

1012
00:44:50,355 --> 00:44:53,691
I was fool enough to think you loved me.

1013
00:44:56,903 --> 00:44:57,736
I do love you.

1014
00:44:57,737 --> 00:44:58,571
That's why I couldn't stand

1015
00:44:58,572 --> 00:44:59,863
seeing you make a fool of yourself.

1016
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:01,782
That's why Tod and I did
it, for your own good,

1017
00:45:01,783 --> 00:45:03,534
to teach you a lesson.

1018
00:45:03,535 --> 00:45:05,870
You taught me a lesson
I'll never forget.

1019
00:45:10,667 --> 00:45:11,459
Ms. Vina Swain.

1020
00:45:11,501 --> 00:45:12,377
Yes. Come on in.

1021
00:45:17,507 --> 00:45:20,009
My they're lovely. You
can put them down there.

1022
00:45:22,929 --> 00:45:24,222
I wonder who sent them.

1023
00:45:33,940 --> 00:45:37,276
Franklin must be crazy to
think he can sue me for libel.

1024
00:45:37,277 --> 00:45:39,821
Every word of my story
was the absolute truth.

1025
00:45:43,074 --> 00:45:44,741
Well, it better be.

1026
00:45:44,742 --> 00:45:45,826
I read your story this morning

1027
00:45:45,827 --> 00:45:46,661
and I can tell you right now,

1028
00:45:46,662 --> 00:45:49,329
I wouldn't want to have my byline on it.

1029
00:45:49,330 --> 00:45:51,416
Fortunately, it's none of your business.

1030
00:45:54,043 --> 00:45:55,003
Ready, Ralph?

1031
00:45:55,004 --> 00:45:57,421
Ma. There's no need
to tear off like this.

1032
00:45:57,422 --> 00:45:59,047
If Pop's really sick
we'll send him a nurse.

1033
00:45:59,048 --> 00:46:00,966
Nurse nothing. I'm going home.

1034
00:46:00,967 --> 00:46:02,259
That's what I married your father for.

1035
00:46:02,260 --> 00:46:03,636
To keep the covers over him.

1036
00:46:11,060 --> 00:46:11,895
Goodbye, Vina.

1037
00:46:24,282 --> 00:46:27,284
Will you be needing me, Ms. Swain?

1038
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:28,411
Oh, I don't need you.

1039
00:46:30,288 --> 00:46:31,873
What do I need anybody for?

1040
00:46:32,957 --> 00:46:33,917
I'm doing all right.

1041
00:46:33,918 --> 00:46:35,168
Sure you are, Ms. Vina.

1042
00:46:40,548 --> 00:46:43,967
You ain't forgetting the
gentleman waiting downstairs.

1043
00:46:43,968 --> 00:46:44,844
Tell him that...

1044
00:46:46,512 --> 00:46:48,806
Tell him I... I can't go
with him tonight.

1045
00:46:56,064 --> 00:46:57,397
<i>And a good, good afternoon
ladies and gentlemen.</i>

1046
00:46:57,398 --> 00:46:58,482
<i>This is Ronald Oakes speaking</i>

1047
00:46:58,483 --> 00:46:59,858
<i>from the Franklin Department Store,</i>

1048
00:46:59,859 --> 00:47:02,527
<i>where today under the auspices
of the "Mountain City World,"</i>

1049
00:47:02,528 --> 00:47:04,447
<i>a series of tests is to be conducted</i>

1050
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:06,448
<i>by expert engineers from out of town</i>

1051
00:47:06,449 --> 00:47:08,867
<i>to ascertain whether the
Franklin store elevators</i>

1052
00:47:08,868 --> 00:47:12,329
<i>are safe or unsafe, as
has been publicly charged.</i>

1053
00:47:12,330 --> 00:47:14,498
<i>Now I'm going to ask Mr. Ralph Houston</i>

1054
00:47:14,499 --> 00:47:15,999
<i>of "The World" editorial staff</i>

1055
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,751
<i>to say a few words about these tests.</i>

1056
00:47:17,752 --> 00:47:20,921
<i>Mr. Ralph Houston, will you
take the mic please? Thanks.</i>

1057
00:47:20,922 --> 00:47:23,090
<i>- Ladies and gentlemen, Mr.
- Franklin and his engineers</i>

1058
00:47:23,091 --> 00:47:23,925
<i>are going to test these elevators</i>

1059
00:47:23,926 --> 00:47:26,385
<i>with 6,000 pounds dead weight,</i>

1060
00:47:26,386 --> 00:47:27,345
<i>which is twice the amount</i>

1061
00:47:27,346 --> 00:47:29,388
<i>they are ordinarily required to carry.</i>

1062
00:47:29,389 --> 00:47:30,931
<i>In a few minutes, you
will know for yourselves</i>

1063
00:47:30,932 --> 00:47:34,226
<i>that these accusations are
entirely unfair and unfounded.</i>

1064
00:47:34,227 --> 00:47:35,061
<i>Thank you.</i>

1065
00:47:36,312 --> 00:47:38,272
Alright, take it up.

1066
00:47:41,359 --> 00:47:42,985
<i>There goes the first
elevator, ladies and gentlemen,</i>

1067
00:47:42,986 --> 00:47:46,029
<i>with 6,000 pounds of dead weight aboard.</i>

1068
00:47:46,030 --> 00:47:48,365
<i>Ladies and gentlemen, this is a rigid test</i>

1069
00:47:48,366 --> 00:47:50,283
<i>to prove the safety of these elevators</i>

1070
00:47:50,284 --> 00:47:53,203
<i>and the quality of
Franklin's Store service.</i>

1071
00:47:53,204 --> 00:47:55,164
<i>And now it's at the top.</i>

1072
00:47:56,207 --> 00:47:57,041
What are you doing here?

1073
00:47:57,042 --> 00:47:59,876
Well, Papa, we're going
upstairs with Santa Claus.

1074
00:47:59,877 --> 00:48:01,128
Get outta here.

1075
00:48:01,129 --> 00:48:01,963
Why?

1076
00:48:01,964 --> 00:48:03,047
You heard me. Scram.

1077
00:48:06,467 --> 00:48:08,176
<i>We've just seen the first elevator</i>

1078
00:48:08,177 --> 00:48:10,388
<i>pass its test with flying colors.</i>

1079
00:48:15,727 --> 00:48:16,935
Oh, hello, Vina.

1080
00:48:16,936 --> 00:48:18,478
Come to listen to the circus.

1081
00:48:18,479 --> 00:48:19,771
I've been listening.

1082
00:48:19,772 --> 00:48:21,398
Maybe we're wrong.

1083
00:48:21,399 --> 00:48:22,233
Sit down.

1084
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:25,444
We're not licked yet.

1085
00:48:25,445 --> 00:48:26,279
<i>And now, ladies and gentlemen,</i>

1086
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:27,779
<i>the remaining elevators will undergo</i>

1087
00:48:27,780 --> 00:48:29,741
<i>the same test simultaneously.</i>

1088
00:48:31,576 --> 00:48:32,535
<i>Here they go, folks.</i>

1089
00:48:32,536 --> 00:48:34,244
<i>Three elevators rising together</i>

1090
00:48:34,245 --> 00:48:36,288
<i>with their overload of lead and sand,</i>

1091
00:48:36,289 --> 00:48:37,748
<i>they've passed the second floor.</i>

1092
00:48:37,749 --> 00:48:39,541
<i>Everybody's holding his breath.</i>

1093
00:48:39,542 --> 00:48:40,917
<i>They've reached the third.</i>

1094
00:48:40,918 --> 00:48:43,211
<i>A great deal depends upon this test.</i>

1095
00:48:43,212 --> 00:48:45,881
<i>A fourth and going steady.</i>

1096
00:48:45,882 --> 00:48:48,341
<i>A difference of opinion
between two great newspapers</i>

1097
00:48:48,342 --> 00:48:50,927
<i>will be settled in the next few minutes.</i>

1098
00:48:50,928 --> 00:48:52,220
<i>They've reached the top.</i>

1099
00:48:52,221 --> 00:48:54,264
<i>An issue of a million dollar libel suit</i>

1100
00:48:54,265 --> 00:48:57,309
<i>by the Franklin Store hangs
on the matter of seconds.</i>

1101
00:48:57,310 --> 00:48:59,019
<i>And still they're coming easily.</i>

1102
00:48:59,020 --> 00:49:00,187
<i>They've reached the third.</i>

1103
00:49:00,188 --> 00:49:02,230
<i>Everybody's holding his breath.</i>

1104
00:49:02,231 --> 00:49:04,566
<i>The second. And still they're coming.</i>

1105
00:49:04,567 --> 00:49:06,109
<i>The first. The first.</i>

1106
00:49:06,110 --> 00:49:07,236
<i>It's over folks.</i>

1107
00:49:09,238 --> 00:49:11,114
<i>Every elevator in the Franklin Store</i>

1108
00:49:11,115 --> 00:49:13,367
<i>has been proved safe after being tested.</i>

1109
00:49:14,535 --> 00:49:15,578
Well we were wrong.

1110
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:17,955
Now what do we do?

1111
00:49:19,582 --> 00:49:21,917
Do? Well, we'll do the right thing.

1112
00:49:21,918 --> 00:49:23,627
We'll publish a retraction.

1113
00:49:23,628 --> 00:49:24,462
Just wait.

1114
00:49:28,883 --> 00:49:31,009
Houston, we've been exonerated.

1115
00:49:31,010 --> 00:49:32,385
I can't tell you how I feel.

1116
00:49:32,386 --> 00:49:35,139
Right now, I'm more interested
in the way Gillette feels.

1117
00:49:38,142 --> 00:49:39,018
Anything wrong?

1118
00:49:39,894 --> 00:49:41,853
Yeah, but I guess it's too late

1119
00:49:41,854 --> 00:49:43,730
to do anything about it now.

1120
00:49:43,731 --> 00:49:45,732
Well, I'm going up and call the Colonel.

1121
00:49:45,733 --> 00:49:46,858
Tell him I'll call him myself.

1122
00:49:46,859 --> 00:49:48,027
I wanna thank him.

1123
00:49:49,112 --> 00:49:49,946
That's all.

1124
00:49:50,780 --> 00:49:52,073
Next car going right up.

1125
00:49:56,494 --> 00:49:57,786
Hello there.

1126
00:49:57,787 --> 00:49:59,663
Say, don't you get tired
of looking up at people.

1127
00:49:59,664 --> 00:50:00,747
Yes, sir.

1128
00:50:00,748 --> 00:50:01,874
Here, we'll fix that.

1129
00:50:03,459 --> 00:50:05,503
There, now you look down at everybody.

1130
00:50:14,345 --> 00:50:15,179
The cables are slipping!

1131
00:50:29,235 --> 00:50:32,904
Just write a sincere
dignified retraction.

1132
00:50:32,905 --> 00:50:34,781
Put it on page four.

1133
00:50:34,782 --> 00:50:35,824
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>

1134
00:50:35,825 --> 00:50:37,033
<i>there's been an accident.</i>

1135
00:50:37,034 --> 00:50:39,870
<i>One of the elevators
fell from the top floor.</i>

1136
00:50:39,871 --> 00:50:42,539
<i>As soon as we can get the
mic through the crowd.</i>

1137
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:43,374
I told you.

1138
00:50:43,375 --> 00:50:45,292
We don't need alibis now.

1139
00:50:45,293 --> 00:50:46,127
<i>Ladies and gentlemen,</i>

1140
00:50:46,128 --> 00:50:48,128
the elevator was loaded
with women and children.

1141
00:50:48,129 --> 00:50:49,296
<i>Ambulance calls have been sent</i>

1142
00:50:49,297 --> 00:50:50,839
<i>to every hospital in the city,</i>

1143
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:52,215
<i>but the extent of the injuries</i>

1144
00:50:52,216 --> 00:50:54,426
<i>or fatalities is not yet known.</i>

1145
00:50:54,427 --> 00:50:56,428
- Well, there's your story.
- Get busy and cover it big.

1146
00:50:56,429 --> 00:50:57,929
Splash it all over the front page.

1147
00:50:57,930 --> 00:50:59,764
"The Sentinel" will ask
that Franklin be indicted

1148
00:50:59,765 --> 00:51:01,349
for manslaughter if
there's one single death.

1149
00:51:01,350 --> 00:51:02,517
Yes, sir.

1150
00:51:02,518 --> 00:51:04,519
- Well, you warned them.
- They wouldn't believe you.

1151
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,105
They had to find out this way.

1152
00:51:07,481 --> 00:51:09,399
<i>Some 15 people were in that car</i>

1153
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,234
<i>and nearly all of them have been injured.</i>

1154
00:51:11,235 --> 00:51:13,237
<i>Ironically enough, one of the passengers</i>

1155
00:51:13,279 --> 00:51:14,988
<i>was Ralph Houston of "The World,"</i>

1156
00:51:14,989 --> 00:51:17,949
<i>who was conducting the safety
tests here this afternoon.</i>

1157
00:51:17,950 --> 00:51:19,784
Ralph.

1158
00:51:19,785 --> 00:51:20,911
Vina, where are you going?

1159
00:51:20,912 --> 00:51:22,078
Ralph's been hurt. I'm going to him.

1160
00:51:22,079 --> 00:51:22,914
No, you can't do that.

1161
00:51:22,915 --> 00:51:24,414
I've got to! Let me see him.

1162
00:51:24,415 --> 00:51:25,458
Use your head.

1163
00:51:26,792 --> 00:51:28,084
Don't you see, Vina?

1164
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:30,128
He'd be at a hospital
before you got there.

1165
00:51:30,129 --> 00:51:32,840
Why don't you call the hospitals,
find out where he's gone.

1166
00:51:37,011 --> 00:51:39,137
Get me General Hospital.

1167
00:51:39,138 --> 00:51:40,513
Did you hear? It came off pretty-

1168
00:51:40,514 --> 00:51:41,765
Shut up!

1169
00:51:41,766 --> 00:51:42,974
This is nothing to gloat about.

1170
00:51:42,975 --> 00:51:44,976
General Hospital. Give
me the receiving ward.

1171
00:51:44,977 --> 00:51:46,645
It's a horrible disaster.

1172
00:51:46,646 --> 00:51:47,480
Hello.

1173
00:51:47,481 --> 00:51:50,524
Have you brought in a Ralph
Houston yet from "The World"?

1174
00:51:53,277 --> 00:51:55,237
You dumb cluck.

1175
00:51:55,238 --> 00:51:56,613
Fine mess you've got us into.

1176
00:51:56,614 --> 00:51:57,448
But boss-

1177
00:51:57,449 --> 00:51:59,824
I wanted those elevators
to fall during the test.

1178
00:51:59,825 --> 00:52:02,410
- But boss, we couldn't be sure.
- We couldn't call our shots.

1179
00:52:02,411 --> 00:52:03,246
Shut up.

1180
00:52:04,497 --> 00:52:06,915
I told you that dame's nobody's fool.

1181
00:52:06,916 --> 00:52:08,124
A few more cracks outta you

1182
00:52:08,125 --> 00:52:10,419
and she'll start putting
two and two together.

1183
00:52:11,754 --> 00:52:13,798
We're gonna get her out of town and fast.

1184
00:52:14,799 --> 00:52:16,216
Here.

1185
00:52:16,217 --> 00:52:18,009
Give this to Hopkins.

1186
00:52:18,010 --> 00:52:20,596
And standby. I'll be needing you.

1187
00:52:23,891 --> 00:52:24,725
Hopkins.

1188
00:52:32,984 --> 00:52:34,277
Get me St. Luke's quick.

1189
00:52:36,279 --> 00:52:37,113
Any luck?

1190
00:52:40,491 --> 00:52:41,950
Listen, have they brought in anybody

1191
00:52:41,951 --> 00:52:44,160
from the Franklin Store yet?

1192
00:52:44,161 --> 00:52:46,205
From that elevator?

1193
00:52:49,166 --> 00:52:49,959
Yep.

1194
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,043
Mr. Gillette, our reporters can't get in

1195
00:52:52,044 --> 00:52:53,378
to cover the accident.

1196
00:52:53,379 --> 00:52:56,172
<i>Ralph Houston has put a cordon
of police around the place.</i>

1197
00:52:56,173 --> 00:52:59,050
<i>The lucky devil falls six
stories and never gets a scratch.</i>

1198
00:52:59,051 --> 00:53:00,218
<i>And now he's scooping us.</i>

1199
00:53:00,219 --> 00:53:01,261
<i>What'll I do?</i>

1200
00:53:01,262 --> 00:53:03,681
That's your lookout. Get the story.

1201
00:53:38,424 --> 00:53:40,092
Ralph's been hurt.

1202
00:53:41,552 --> 00:53:42,762
Here's the chair.

1203
00:53:47,266 --> 00:53:49,351
What? What happened to him, Doc?

1204
00:53:49,352 --> 00:53:52,188
Elevator fell at
Franklin's. He was in it.

1205
00:53:58,903 --> 00:53:59,986
How bad is it?

1206
00:53:59,987 --> 00:54:00,988
Shock mostly.

1207
00:54:02,031 --> 00:54:03,824
Bad ankle and slight concussion.

1208
00:54:08,621 --> 00:54:09,788
He's passed out again.

1209
00:54:09,789 --> 00:54:11,915
Thank heaven it's no worse.

1210
00:54:11,916 --> 00:54:13,625
That's bad enough, ain't it?

1211
00:54:13,626 --> 00:54:16,169
He was conscious when I got to him.

1212
00:54:16,170 --> 00:54:17,004
Didn't wanna go to the hospital,

1213
00:54:17,005 --> 00:54:18,255
insisted on coming here.

1214
00:54:19,340 --> 00:54:23,469
Maybe uh, maybe a little
stimulant might bring him to.

1215
00:54:24,470 --> 00:54:26,137
We don't need liquor.

1216
00:54:26,138 --> 00:54:27,681
Stop thinking of yourself.

1217
00:54:29,475 --> 00:54:31,559
Lucky, that was a long fall.

1218
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,563
- Heh, the fall was nothing.
- It was the sudden stop.

1219
00:54:36,357 --> 00:54:37,691
Oh, the cable's slipping.

1220
00:54:38,776 --> 00:54:40,277
Look out, kids, we're falling.

1221
00:54:41,612 --> 00:54:45,156
There you go, sister, now you
can look down on everybody.

1222
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:45,991
6,000 pounds.

1223
00:54:47,743 --> 00:54:49,161
Best engineers in the world.

1224
00:54:50,913 --> 00:54:53,540
There's something wrong with that cable.

1225
00:54:53,541 --> 00:54:54,374
Look out!

1226
00:54:54,375 --> 00:54:55,167
What's he saying?

1227
00:54:55,168 --> 00:54:56,292
Pay no attention to it, Mrs. Swain.

1228
00:54:56,293 --> 00:54:58,837
They never make sense
when they're delirious.

1229
00:54:58,838 --> 00:55:00,381
Makes sense to me.

1230
00:55:02,842 --> 00:55:04,385
Now you can look down at everybody.

1231
00:55:06,846 --> 00:55:08,097
Guess I'll get my hypo.

1232
00:55:10,516 --> 00:55:11,683
Hello.

1233
00:55:11,684 --> 00:55:12,976
Mrs. Swain.

1234
00:55:12,977 --> 00:55:15,437
I'm supposed to call you
up and tell you Ms. Vina

1235
00:55:15,438 --> 00:55:17,689
had to leave town in a hurry.

1236
00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:18,858
Vina left town?

1237
00:55:20,025 --> 00:55:21,234
When?

1238
00:55:21,235 --> 00:55:22,944
10 minutes ago.

1239
00:55:22,945 --> 00:55:24,655
Why didn't she call me up herself?

1240
00:55:25,906 --> 00:55:27,407
So much of a hurry that
she couldn't come up

1241
00:55:27,408 --> 00:55:29,742
and say goodbye to her own mother?

1242
00:55:29,743 --> 00:55:30,786
Where's she gone?

1243
00:55:32,872 --> 00:55:36,082
Copemont. Oh, that's a rough place.

1244
00:55:36,083 --> 00:55:37,001
Who went with her?

1245
00:55:40,546 --> 00:55:42,547
What man with a funny nose?

1246
00:55:42,548 --> 00:55:45,801
Beak, Beak McArdle. I don't know him.

1247
00:55:47,928 --> 00:55:48,762
What's that?

1248
00:55:50,264 --> 00:55:53,225
A lot of men sitting down at
the bottom of a coal mine.

1249
00:55:54,143 --> 00:55:55,728
What are they sitting there for?

1250
00:55:56,979 --> 00:55:58,898
She didn't say how long she'd be gone.

1251
00:56:00,441 --> 00:56:02,066
Oh dear.

1252
00:56:02,067 --> 00:56:05,154
All right, Daisy, I suppose
she'll be writing me.

1253
00:56:06,447 --> 00:56:07,531
Yes, goodbye.

1254
00:56:09,575 --> 00:56:11,201
Oh dear.

1255
00:56:11,202 --> 00:56:12,952
I don't like it.

1256
00:56:12,953 --> 00:56:14,704
Heh-heh. Neither do I.

1257
00:56:14,705 --> 00:56:15,788
Hey, get back in that bed.

1258
00:56:15,789 --> 00:56:17,290
No, no. I'm okay.

1259
00:56:17,291 --> 00:56:19,250
They sent her out of town
awful quick, didn't they, Doc?

1260
00:56:19,251 --> 00:56:21,544
Why? What have they got to hide?

1261
00:56:21,545 --> 00:56:23,963
Listen, you're running a
temperature. You can't go out.

1262
00:56:23,964 --> 00:56:26,716
Vina's gone to see some miners
who are sitting down in...

1263
00:56:26,717 --> 00:56:27,551
Tod, what are you doing?

1264
00:56:27,552 --> 00:56:29,219
Get outta my way, woman.

1265
00:56:29,220 --> 00:56:32,055
Oh, but Tod.

1266
00:56:32,056 --> 00:56:34,557
Tod, you come right back here.

1267
00:56:34,558 --> 00:56:36,309
Yeah, I know, Coach.

1268
00:56:36,310 --> 00:56:38,853
But she's been beefing all
along about staying here.

1269
00:56:38,854 --> 00:56:40,146
And if the strike is settled,

1270
00:56:40,147 --> 00:56:41,773
how am I gonna keep her here?

1271
00:56:41,774 --> 00:56:43,149
That's your job.

1272
00:56:43,150 --> 00:56:44,359
The lid's off back here.

1273
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,070
She doesn't come back until I tell you.

1274
00:56:47,071 --> 00:56:48,531
Yeah, I'll do my best, Coach. But...

1275
00:56:50,032 --> 00:56:52,409
Hold on a minute. Here she comes now.

1276
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,709
Beaky, old boy. It worked.

1277
00:57:01,710 --> 00:57:03,253
I got the story. So hurry up and pack.

1278
00:57:03,254 --> 00:57:04,088
We're going home.

1279
00:57:04,089 --> 00:57:05,713
Yeah.

1280
00:57:05,714 --> 00:57:09,467
- Say, what are you doing?
- Teething on that ring.

1281
00:57:09,468 --> 00:57:11,427
I'm biting this here
emperor on the nose.

1282
00:57:11,428 --> 00:57:13,471
So it look like the one I lost.

1283
00:57:13,472 --> 00:57:15,431
Did you ever try a
wristwatch with gravy?

1284
00:57:15,432 --> 00:57:16,267
No.

1285
00:57:24,233 --> 00:57:25,900
She's back. Got her story.

1286
00:57:25,901 --> 00:57:27,152
Says she's going home.

1287
00:57:29,905 --> 00:57:31,657
What way am I gonna stop her?

1288
00:57:34,577 --> 00:57:37,830
You mean it, Coach? The hard way.

1289
00:57:40,416 --> 00:57:41,708
Check.

1290
00:57:41,709 --> 00:57:43,711
Okay, check.

1291
00:57:57,349 --> 00:57:58,559
Say!

1292
00:57:59,685 --> 00:58:02,353
What right do you got to come
busting in here this way?

1293
00:58:02,354 --> 00:58:05,440
- The right of a father.
- Where's my daughter?

1294
00:58:05,441 --> 00:58:08,818
Say, don't go talking like
that. I'm a married man.

1295
00:58:08,819 --> 00:58:12,030
Pop. What are you doing here?

1296
00:58:12,031 --> 00:58:13,032
Oh, ho ho.

1297
00:58:13,907 --> 00:58:15,533
Oh, you're wrong, brother.

1298
00:58:15,534 --> 00:58:17,076
No, I'm a wronged father.

1299
00:58:17,077 --> 00:58:19,996
Oh, nobody's been
wronged. He's my bodyguard.

1300
00:58:19,997 --> 00:58:21,956
Oh, bodyguard. That's pretty good.

1301
00:58:21,957 --> 00:58:24,167
Bodyguard. Oh, that's what you say.

1302
00:58:24,168 --> 00:58:27,629
Listen you, I planted this
ring on your eye once see?

1303
00:58:27,630 --> 00:58:29,380
Oh, that's a new one, ain't it?

1304
00:58:29,381 --> 00:58:31,841
What happened to Caesar?

1305
00:58:31,842 --> 00:58:33,092
Leave him alone, Beak. He's drunk.

1306
00:58:33,093 --> 00:58:35,178
Yeah, yeah, I'm drunk. I'm drunk.

1307
00:58:35,179 --> 00:58:36,639
I'm cockeyed.

1308
00:58:45,314 --> 00:58:46,939
Say, listen. Listen.

1309
00:58:46,940 --> 00:58:50,985
How, how did you know over
at "The Sentinel" office

1310
00:58:50,986 --> 00:58:53,237
that those elevators would fall?

1311
00:58:53,238 --> 00:58:54,572
We ain't talking about that.

1312
00:58:54,573 --> 00:58:56,658
Well, we knew because
we had our own inspection.

1313
00:58:56,659 --> 00:58:57,784
When? How?

1314
00:58:57,785 --> 00:58:59,994
- Well, just before-
- Stop broadcasting.

1315
00:58:59,995 --> 00:59:03,039
Vina, my girl. You're a fool.

1316
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,459
What do you suppose they got
you out of town for? Huh?

1317
00:59:06,460 --> 00:59:07,627
Well, I'll tell you.

1318
00:59:07,628 --> 00:59:09,212
So you wouldn't have to answer

1319
00:59:09,213 --> 00:59:11,798
any awkward questions
at the investigation.

1320
00:59:11,799 --> 00:59:14,425
Shut up. Or I'll smear
you all over the woodwork.

1321
00:59:14,426 --> 00:59:18,429
That elevator fell because
somebody greased those cables.

1322
00:59:18,430 --> 00:59:19,430
You're crazy.

1323
00:59:19,431 --> 00:59:22,266
Oh, not crazy. Just
slick like loose cables.

1324
00:59:22,267 --> 00:59:23,977
Sit down! Both of you.

1325
00:59:26,146 --> 00:59:27,356
You got nothing on me.

1326
00:59:28,524 --> 00:59:29,941
It's gonna be pretty tough on you

1327
00:59:29,942 --> 00:59:33,277
stranded here where Gillette
can't do your thinking for you.

1328
00:59:33,278 --> 00:59:34,113
Yeah?

1329
00:59:37,991 --> 00:59:41,035
You've been using
mechanic soap, haven't you?

1330
00:59:41,036 --> 00:59:42,120
You think that's evidence?

1331
00:59:42,121 --> 00:59:43,538
You're darn right it's evidence.

1332
00:59:43,539 --> 00:59:44,372
Where's your cameo?

1333
00:59:44,373 --> 00:59:45,206
Right here.

1334
00:59:45,207 --> 00:59:46,040
That's the new one.

1335
00:59:46,041 --> 00:59:46,959
I can change my jewelry.

1336
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,793
The jeweler that put it in the new stone

1337
00:59:48,794 --> 00:59:50,086
found grease in the setting.

1338
00:59:50,087 --> 00:59:50,920
Well, whatever.

1339
00:59:50,921 --> 00:59:51,755
Yeah, plenty.

1340
00:59:51,756 --> 00:59:54,590
I found your broken nose
cameo and a can of goo

1341
00:59:54,591 --> 00:59:56,384
by the elevator cables.

1342
00:59:56,385 --> 00:59:57,760
I guess that's evidence.

1343
00:59:57,761 --> 00:59:58,595
Yeah. Yeah.

1344
00:59:58,596 --> 01:00:00,388
Well, you won't be there
to give it, neither of you.

1345
01:00:00,389 --> 01:00:04,934
You are so dumb. You panic me.

1346
01:00:04,935 --> 01:00:05,936
What's eating you?

1347
01:00:08,313 --> 01:00:10,148
He really imagines that you'd walk in

1348
01:00:10,149 --> 01:00:13,151
on a killer like him
without stacking the cards.

1349
01:00:13,152 --> 01:00:14,069
What do you mean?

1350
01:00:16,196 --> 01:00:17,739
She means the cops.

1351
01:00:17,740 --> 01:00:19,782
They're out in the hall.
They're everywhere.

1352
01:00:19,783 --> 01:00:22,744
So your only chance is to bargain with me.

1353
01:00:22,745 --> 01:00:24,162
You ain't nobody. You can't bargain.

1354
01:00:24,163 --> 01:00:27,290
No. Well, I could fail to
identify you, couldn't I?

1355
01:00:27,291 --> 01:00:30,668
I could give you a chance
to beat it, couldn't I?

1356
01:00:30,669 --> 01:00:31,545
How do I know you'll do it?

1357
01:00:31,546 --> 01:00:33,588
He doesn't want you. He wants Gillette.

1358
01:00:33,589 --> 01:00:35,715
He's willing to trade a rat for a wolf.

1359
01:00:35,716 --> 01:00:36,759
Make up your mind.

1360
01:00:37,634 --> 01:00:39,094
Well, what do you say?

1361
01:00:40,554 --> 01:00:41,513
Call off the cops.

1362
01:00:41,514 --> 01:00:44,349
Okay, but not before you sign this.

1363
01:00:45,684 --> 01:00:47,810
I suppose this says I shot Lincoln.

1364
01:00:47,811 --> 01:00:51,523
No, it says you greased those
cables on Gillette's orders.

1365
01:00:59,406 --> 01:01:01,533
You better sign. That's the cops.

1366
01:01:06,288 --> 01:01:07,705
I can trust you?

1367
01:01:07,706 --> 01:01:09,290
Oh, oh sure.

1368
01:01:09,291 --> 01:01:11,918
You don't look very innocent
with that cannon in your hand.

1369
01:01:11,919 --> 01:01:13,253
Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

1370
01:01:17,257 --> 01:01:19,634
- Officer Schweitzgable.
- Are you out there?

1371
01:01:19,635 --> 01:01:21,010
Yeah, I'm here.

1372
01:01:21,011 --> 01:01:22,720
Alright. Sit down there.

1373
01:01:22,721 --> 01:01:23,555
Yes, sir.

1374
01:01:25,516 --> 01:01:26,682
Sit in his lap.

1375
01:01:26,683 --> 01:01:27,517
What?

1376
01:01:27,518 --> 01:01:28,352
Sit in his lap.

1377
01:01:28,353 --> 01:01:29,352
This thing's got to look domestic.

1378
01:01:29,353 --> 01:01:30,186
Wait a minute.

1379
01:01:30,187 --> 01:01:31,021
Sit still.

1380
01:01:32,105 --> 01:01:34,358
Now, let's see. Put
the arm around there.

1381
01:01:35,442 --> 01:01:36,818
Gimme that.

1382
01:01:36,819 --> 01:01:37,653
That's it.

1383
01:01:40,697 --> 01:01:41,906
Hmm.

1384
01:01:41,907 --> 01:01:44,743
Come in, Schweitzgable. Come in, alone.

1385
01:01:48,330 --> 01:01:50,165
- Is that the man?
- Yes.

1386
01:01:52,417 --> 01:01:53,251
Are you married?

1387
01:01:53,252 --> 01:01:54,086
Sure.

1388
01:01:54,087 --> 01:01:55,253
You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

1389
01:01:55,254 --> 01:01:56,254
Hey, wait a minute.

1390
01:01:56,255 --> 01:01:58,089
So you won't marry my daughter, eh?

1391
01:01:58,090 --> 01:01:58,924
What is this?

1392
01:01:58,925 --> 01:01:59,924
Please don't take him away.

1393
01:01:59,925 --> 01:02:01,676
You've broken an old man's heart.

1394
01:02:01,677 --> 01:02:02,594
I'll stand by you, Beak.

1395
01:02:02,595 --> 01:02:04,095
I don't care if you are married.

1396
01:02:04,096 --> 01:02:05,346
- You double crosser.
- Shut up!

1397
01:02:05,347 --> 01:02:06,265
Oh, Beak.

1398
01:02:06,266 --> 01:02:08,057
If I were you, Miss,
I'd get down on my knees

1399
01:02:08,058 --> 01:02:10,685
and ask my fine old father to forgive me.

1400
01:02:10,686 --> 01:02:12,186
You're right.

1401
01:02:12,187 --> 01:02:15,314
Oh, forgive me. I made a horrible mistake.

1402
01:02:15,315 --> 01:02:17,066
Take him away.

1403
01:02:17,067 --> 01:02:20,403
Me, pinched by a dame
from the welfare department.

1404
01:02:20,404 --> 01:02:22,531
Get out,
Romeo. We'll show you.

1405
01:02:27,828 --> 01:02:30,788
Oh, you darned old crook.

1406
01:02:30,789 --> 01:02:33,332
You're the greatest
news hound in the world.

1407
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:35,001
Well, you gave me a
little help, you know.

1408
01:02:35,002 --> 01:02:36,085
Oh no. It was you.

1409
01:02:36,086 --> 01:02:37,420
Oh no. No.

1410
01:02:37,421 --> 01:02:40,256
And were you good in that
father forgive me scene.

1411
01:02:40,257 --> 01:02:41,799
Oh, I don't know about that.

1412
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,552
I haven't had much practice lately.

1413
01:02:45,262 --> 01:02:46,096
Oh, Pop.

1414
01:02:49,224 --> 01:02:50,057
Oh, come on. Come on now.

1415
01:02:50,058 --> 01:02:50,893
We've gotta get outta here.

1416
01:02:50,894 --> 01:02:53,352
We're going to tear
Mountain City wide open.

1417
01:02:53,353 --> 01:02:55,354
I won't stop to pack. They
can send my things on later.

1418
01:02:55,355 --> 01:02:56,355
Alright.

1419
01:02:56,356 --> 01:02:57,190
What name?

1420
01:02:58,442 --> 01:02:59,484
Mr. Gillette?

1421
01:03:00,527 --> 01:03:01,361
Yes, sir.

1422
01:03:02,654 --> 01:03:04,655
No, sir. I can't get him.

1423
01:03:04,656 --> 01:03:06,199
He's done been arrested.

1424
01:03:07,117 --> 01:03:10,078
This is me, the bellboy.

1425
01:03:10,996 --> 01:03:12,414
The girl ain't here neither.

1426
01:03:13,790 --> 01:03:15,666
All that I know is she started back

1427
01:03:15,667 --> 01:03:18,086
to Mountain City with her father.

1428
01:03:19,338 --> 01:03:21,672
I heard 'em say they were driving.

1429
01:03:21,673 --> 01:03:23,841
Now listen to me and then get going.

1430
01:03:23,842 --> 01:03:25,635
Get out the big car, get a road map

1431
01:03:25,636 --> 01:03:29,221
and figure out a spot where
they've got to pass and then...

1432
01:03:29,222 --> 01:03:31,974
Well, if either of them
get back to Mountain City,

1433
01:03:31,975 --> 01:03:34,102
it's going to be just too bad.

1434
01:03:35,604 --> 01:03:36,438
Alright.

1435
01:03:56,208 --> 01:03:58,417
Somebody's shooting at us.

1436
01:03:58,418 --> 01:03:59,627
Here they come.

1437
01:03:59,628 --> 01:04:00,879
Put 'em down.

1438
01:04:05,300 --> 01:04:06,550
Look out!

1439
01:04:06,551 --> 01:04:07,678
Hang on.

1440
01:04:23,235 --> 01:04:27,197
Switch off those lights and hang on tight.

1441
01:04:34,162 --> 01:04:36,915
Oh, they went past. I
hope they don't come back.

1442
01:04:36,957 --> 01:04:38,250
Yeah. So do I.

1443
01:04:39,459 --> 01:04:40,626
I'm gonna stay on this road.

1444
01:04:40,627 --> 01:04:42,754
I think it joins up with Route 61.

1445
01:04:44,089 --> 01:04:46,717
Eh. Switch on those lights
again will you, baby.

1446
01:04:48,885 --> 01:04:49,761
Ah, that's better.

1447
01:04:52,597 --> 01:04:54,306
You got a cigarette, Pop?

1448
01:04:54,307 --> 01:04:55,559
I think so.

1449
01:04:59,354 --> 01:05:00,439
Hold the wheel, baby.

1450
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:19,124
No, I haven't got any.

1451
01:05:20,959 --> 01:05:22,794
I'm all shaky inside, are you?

1452
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,212
I'm all right.

1453
01:05:25,213 --> 01:05:26,048
Thanks, Pop.

1454
01:05:26,965 --> 01:05:28,591
For what?

1455
01:05:28,592 --> 01:05:29,801
Not rubbing it in.

1456
01:05:30,719 --> 01:05:32,678
Oh, forget it.

1457
01:05:32,679 --> 01:05:35,557
I have made a star spangled
fool of myself, haven't I?

1458
01:05:37,684 --> 01:05:39,061
Well, you wouldn't listen.

1459
01:05:40,270 --> 01:05:41,897
I wouldn't either at your age.

1460
01:05:43,273 --> 01:05:44,816
I thought I was pretty smart.

1461
01:05:46,526 --> 01:05:47,652
You're smarter now.

1462
01:05:50,197 --> 01:05:52,531
Oh, Pop. Bawl me out
or sock me or something.

1463
01:05:52,532 --> 01:05:53,909
If you don't, I'm gonna cry.

1464
01:05:58,997 --> 01:06:00,164
Ah!

1465
01:06:00,165 --> 01:06:01,958
What's the matter?

1466
01:06:02,918 --> 01:06:05,045
It's the stitch in
my side, I guess. Huh.

1467
01:06:07,631 --> 01:06:09,673
Come on, Springer. Give us the lowdown.

1468
01:06:09,674 --> 01:06:11,176
Yeah, what's it all about?

1469
01:06:12,552 --> 01:06:13,386
Wait a minute.

1470
01:06:13,387 --> 01:06:14,512
I don't know what it's about.

1471
01:06:14,513 --> 01:06:16,514
The Colonel wants to
talk to the whole staff.

1472
01:06:16,515 --> 01:06:17,516
Keep your shirts on.

1473
01:06:36,660 --> 01:06:37,910
My good friends.

1474
01:06:37,911 --> 01:06:40,746
Some of you have been
with me for a long time.

1475
01:06:40,747 --> 01:06:42,498
You've been trustworthy, loyal,

1476
01:06:42,499 --> 01:06:45,251
and you've done your jobs well.

1477
01:06:45,252 --> 01:06:48,003
It is therefore understandable
that it saddens me

1478
01:06:48,004 --> 01:06:50,464
to have to address you
now for what is possibly

1479
01:06:50,465 --> 01:06:52,883
the last time as your chief.

1480
01:06:52,884 --> 01:06:54,593
- Last time?
- I don't understand.

1481
01:06:54,594 --> 01:06:57,221
I repeat, as your chief.

1482
01:06:57,222 --> 01:06:59,598
The edition we have just
put to bed is our last

1483
01:06:59,599 --> 01:07:01,476
under my management.

1484
01:07:01,518 --> 01:07:04,563
I've just sold the "Mountain City World."

1485
01:07:11,528 --> 01:07:12,695
Well, Colonel,

1486
01:07:12,696 --> 01:07:14,613
we sort of like to know
who bought "The World."

1487
01:07:14,614 --> 01:07:16,615
That is of course if you
don't mind telling us.

1488
01:07:16,616 --> 01:07:17,742
Why, to be sure, to be sure.

1489
01:07:18,952 --> 01:07:21,120
That enterprising enabled publisher

1490
01:07:21,121 --> 01:07:24,332
of the Mountain City "Sentinel"
Mr. Charles Gillette.

1491
01:07:30,797 --> 01:07:33,592
Pop, what's the matter? Pop!

1492
01:07:40,140 --> 01:07:41,558
Ralph. Oh, Ralph!

1493
01:07:43,310 --> 01:07:44,144
Ralph!

1494
01:07:45,937 --> 01:07:47,605
Tod. Where did he come from?

1495
01:07:47,606 --> 01:07:48,439
What's the matter with him?

1496
01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:49,357
Hah. Drunk again.

1497
01:07:49,358 --> 01:07:50,984
He's not drunk. He's hurt.

1498
01:07:51,902 --> 01:07:53,110
They've shot him.

1499
01:07:53,111 --> 01:07:54,486
Shot him?

1500
01:07:54,487 --> 01:07:55,322
Tod, who did it?

1501
01:07:55,323 --> 01:07:58,032
Gillette's thugs. They tried to stop us.

1502
01:07:58,033 --> 01:07:59,909
Get a doctor quick somebody.

1503
01:07:59,910 --> 01:08:00,744
No.

1504
01:08:07,417 --> 01:08:08,792
No doctor.

1505
01:08:08,793 --> 01:08:09,628
What are you talking about?

1506
01:08:09,629 --> 01:08:11,378
Tod, you going to be all right?

1507
01:08:11,379 --> 01:08:13,131
Sure you will, Pop.

1508
01:08:15,050 --> 01:08:16,009
No doctor.

1509
01:08:18,553 --> 01:08:21,973
Signed confession in, in pocket.

1510
01:08:24,267 --> 01:08:28,897
Photograph for, for front page.

1511
01:08:28,939 --> 01:08:29,731
Sure, Tod.

1512
01:08:31,524 --> 01:08:33,026
A big story, Ralph.

1513
01:08:34,194 --> 01:08:36,988
Vina will finish it.

1514
01:08:38,323 --> 01:08:40,116
You can trust her.

1515
01:08:41,576 --> 01:08:44,996
Just, just state the facts, baby.

1516
01:08:45,872 --> 01:08:48,958
In simple language.

1517
01:08:48,959 --> 01:08:50,376
Yes, Pop.

1518
01:08:50,377 --> 01:08:54,047
And make the paragraphs short.

1519
01:09:01,346 --> 01:09:02,222
Remember...

1520
01:09:33,795 --> 01:09:34,921
Well gang, he's dead.

1521
01:09:35,797 --> 01:09:37,298
They've killed him.

1522
01:09:37,299 --> 01:09:39,008
And do you know why they've killed him?

1523
01:09:39,009 --> 01:09:42,011
Because he got a story that'll
send Gillette to the chair.

1524
01:09:42,012 --> 01:09:43,512
Gillette, do you hear? Your new boss.

1525
01:09:43,513 --> 01:09:45,014
Easy, Houston, you don't
know what you're talking about.

1526
01:09:45,015 --> 01:09:45,849
I don't, don't I?

1527
01:09:45,850 --> 01:09:47,224
Here it is, a signed confession.

1528
01:09:47,225 --> 01:09:48,350
Beak McArdle admits he greased

1529
01:09:48,351 --> 01:09:50,477
those elevator cables
on Gillette's orders.

1530
01:09:50,478 --> 01:09:51,520
What?

1531
01:09:51,521 --> 01:09:53,772
Well boys, we're working
for a murderer now.

1532
01:09:53,773 --> 01:09:55,316
What are we gonna do about it?

1533
01:09:55,317 --> 01:09:56,900
I know what I wanna do.

1534
01:09:56,901 --> 01:10:00,070
Edit his paper for him tonight
for the first and last time.

1535
01:10:00,071 --> 01:10:00,905
Are you with me?

1536
01:10:00,906 --> 01:10:02,531
I'll follow you, in anything decent.

1537
01:10:02,532 --> 01:10:04,533
Decent? I'm not asking you to be decent.

1538
01:10:04,534 --> 01:10:06,493
I'm asking you to get out
a yellow sheet tonight.

1539
01:10:06,494 --> 01:10:07,536
Donovan, dig out everything we've got

1540
01:10:07,537 --> 01:10:08,829
on the Morgan banker Robinson.

1541
01:10:08,830 --> 01:10:10,164
Write the truth on why he left the state.

1542
01:10:10,165 --> 01:10:11,206
Why he had to leave.

1543
01:10:11,207 --> 01:10:12,416
Adams, you give me a column and a half

1544
01:10:12,417 --> 01:10:14,293
on the society mob that's really
running the numbers racket

1545
01:10:14,294 --> 01:10:15,085
in this burg.

1546
01:10:15,086 --> 01:10:15,962
Houston, you can't do that.

1547
01:10:15,963 --> 01:10:16,962
I can't. Can't I?

1548
01:10:16,963 --> 01:10:18,297
Reed, you know why Judge Ewing resigned,

1549
01:10:18,298 --> 01:10:19,090
but the public doesn't.

1550
01:10:19,132 --> 01:10:20,800
Now get going. You're gonna tell 'em.

1551
01:10:23,428 --> 01:10:25,262
Well, what are you standing
there for? Get going.

1552
01:10:25,263 --> 01:10:26,722
No, you can't do it.

1553
01:10:26,723 --> 01:10:27,765
Why not?

1554
01:10:27,766 --> 01:10:29,976
That's what they want, isn't
it? Sensation and scandal.

1555
01:10:30,018 --> 01:10:31,393
It killed this paper.
It killed your father.

1556
01:10:31,394 --> 01:10:32,354
Let it kill the town.

1557
01:10:32,355 --> 01:10:34,272
That's not what my father died for.

1558
01:10:36,274 --> 01:10:38,650
You'll be what you've taught me to be.

1559
01:10:38,651 --> 01:10:42,364
What you've always been
yourself, a decent newspaper man.

1560
01:10:46,868 --> 01:10:47,994
She's right, Houston.

1561
01:10:48,995 --> 01:10:50,997
The police will take care of Gillette.

1562
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:53,792
No, he's beat the cops too often.

1563
01:10:55,168 --> 01:10:57,628
But he won't beat us.
We've got the confession.

1564
01:10:57,629 --> 01:11:00,130
We're gonna rub Gillette
out with his own newspaper.

1565
01:11:00,131 --> 01:11:02,091
Now you're talking.

1566
01:11:02,092 --> 01:11:03,385
Clear the decks. We're making over.

1567
01:11:04,469 --> 01:11:07,055
Reed, get a cut of this confession.

1568
01:11:08,223 --> 01:11:10,182
Joe, get through Copeland.

1569
01:11:10,183 --> 01:11:11,558
Tell him Beak McArdle is wanted here.

1570
01:11:11,559 --> 01:11:13,228
The rap is murder.

1571
01:11:22,862 --> 01:11:25,407
Come on, honey. You've got a job to do.

1572
01:11:26,616 --> 01:11:28,867
Tell 'em how he died and why.

1573
01:11:28,868 --> 01:11:29,828
You can do it, kid.

1574
01:11:40,422 --> 01:11:41,713
Give 'em everything.

1575
01:11:41,714 --> 01:11:42,674
Boy.

1576
01:11:42,675 --> 01:11:44,049
Stand by Ms. Swain and bring me the copy

1577
01:11:44,050 --> 01:11:45,134
as fast as she writes it.

1578
01:11:45,135 --> 01:11:46,343
Brooks, get me pictures of the kids

1579
01:11:46,344 --> 01:11:47,678
killed in that elevator crash.

1580
01:11:47,679 --> 01:11:50,431
Donavan, I want a rehash of
that story, now jump on it.

1581
01:11:50,432 --> 01:11:52,392
Elliot, you know Gillette, know
his rackets. Pour it on him.

1582
01:11:52,434 --> 01:11:53,226
Boy!

1583
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,792
When you finished, come
to the circulation room.

1584
01:12:18,793 --> 01:12:21,129
We're all news boys tonight.

1585
01:12:35,602 --> 01:12:36,853
Come on, men.

1586
01:12:48,990 --> 01:12:50,657
Gillette's a murderer. You understand?

1587
01:12:50,658 --> 01:12:51,493
Here. Read about it.

1588
01:12:51,494 --> 01:12:55,120
Gillette's a murderer!
Gillette's a murderer!

1589
01:12:55,121 --> 01:12:56,706
Gillette's a murderer!

1590
01:12:59,250 --> 01:13:00,626
Extra! Gillette's a murderer.

1591
01:13:00,627 --> 01:13:01,794
Extra!

1592
01:13:05,256 --> 01:13:08,800
Gillette's a murderer. Read about it.

1593
01:13:08,801 --> 01:13:09,969
Extra!

1594
01:13:11,429 --> 01:13:12,555
Gillette's a murderer.

1595
01:13:14,098 --> 01:13:15,349
Gillette's a murderer!

1596
01:13:15,350 --> 01:13:17,936
- Gillette's a murderer!
- Read "The World."

1597
01:13:20,647 --> 01:13:22,524
Come on, boys. Let's get Gillette.

1598
01:13:27,028 --> 01:13:29,029
Jim, the whole town
is flooded with these.

1599
01:13:29,030 --> 01:13:30,864
Gillette's mob did it.

1600
01:13:30,865 --> 01:13:32,449
They've got Beak's confession!

1601
01:13:32,450 --> 01:13:34,452
Boss did you see this?

1602
01:13:40,041 --> 01:13:42,918
Gillette. The whole
town is headed this way.

1603
01:13:42,919 --> 01:13:44,546
What? What?

1604
01:14:19,038 --> 01:14:20,581
Operator.

1605
01:14:20,582 --> 01:14:21,416
Operator!

1606
01:14:32,510 --> 01:14:33,678
There he is!

1607
01:14:38,725 --> 01:14:39,559
Come on.

1608
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,727
Grab his arms.

1609
01:14:49,611 --> 01:14:50,903
Stop him!

1610
01:14:57,827 --> 01:14:59,329
Go on, get away!

1611
01:15:06,919 --> 01:15:08,463
I got him.

1612
01:15:44,791 --> 01:15:46,166
Keep them away, boys.

1613
01:15:46,167 --> 01:15:47,793
Don't let 'em get me, will you?

1614
01:15:47,794 --> 01:15:50,295
Look, you take care of me
and I'll take care of you.

1615
01:15:50,296 --> 01:15:51,463
You understand, don't you?

1616
01:15:51,464 --> 01:15:53,007
We'll take care of you!

1617
01:15:54,676 --> 01:15:56,218
More coffee.

1618
01:15:56,219 --> 01:15:57,220
No thanks.

1619
01:15:59,597 --> 01:16:02,849
I was just thinking that
somewhere there's a heaven

1620
01:16:02,850 --> 01:16:05,561
for used up newspaper men.

1621
01:16:07,689 --> 01:16:11,316
Pop's up there looking down on us

1622
01:16:11,317 --> 01:16:14,862
and knowing we've done a good job.

1623
01:16:16,155 --> 01:16:18,907
Yeah, he's probably sitting up there

1624
01:16:18,908 --> 01:16:21,368
thinking he could have done it better.

1625
01:16:21,369 --> 01:16:22,203
Ralph.

1626
01:16:23,246 --> 01:16:24,080
Yeah.

1627
01:16:24,081 --> 01:16:26,164
Where do we go from here?

1628
01:16:26,165 --> 01:16:27,249
It doesn't make much
difference, does it?

1629
01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:28,459
As long as it's together.

1630
01:16:33,005 --> 01:16:34,089
Success!

1631
01:16:34,090 --> 01:16:35,841
We sent the whole town on his tail.

1632
01:16:35,842 --> 01:16:37,176
The prosecutors' indicting Gillette

1633
01:16:37,218 --> 01:16:38,052
for murder this morning.

1634
01:16:38,053 --> 01:16:39,302
Franklin's called a meeting

1635
01:16:39,303 --> 01:16:40,138
of the Better Government
people in his office.

1636
01:16:40,139 --> 01:16:41,179
They're talking about buying the paper

1637
01:16:41,180 --> 01:16:42,472
and putting you in charge.

1638
01:16:42,473 --> 01:16:43,765
You're the man of the hour, Houston.

1639
01:16:43,766 --> 01:16:45,016
Yeah, Ralph, you're a big man now.

1640
01:16:45,017 --> 01:16:46,643
All right. All right.

1641
01:16:46,644 --> 01:16:48,396
Come on, honey. I'll take you home.

1642
01:16:49,355 --> 01:16:50,648
Say you guys better
start getting out a paper

1643
01:16:50,690 --> 01:16:52,190
or there'll be no "Mountain
City World" today.

1644
01:16:52,191 --> 01:16:53,400
Yeah. What about it?

1645
01:16:53,401 --> 01:16:54,735
Elliot, you take over while I'm gone.

1646
01:16:54,736 --> 01:16:55,570
Okay, Ralph.

1647
01:16:58,406 --> 01:17:01,075
Come on gang. On your barrels.

1648
01:17:02,305 --> 01:18:02,719
