Postman Always Rings Twice The 46
|
| 00:01:19 |
It was on a side road |
| 00:01:23 |
I was hitchhiking from San Francisco |
| 00:01:28 |
A half-hour earlier, I'd thumbed a ride. |
| 00:01:38 |
Thanks for the ride, the three cigarettes |
| 00:01:43 |
But you broke off in the middle. |
| 00:01:45 |
Why do you keep looking |
| 00:01:49 |
Well, I never liked any job I had. |
| 00:01:52 |
- Not worried about your future? |
| 00:01:58 |
...maybe my future starts right now. |
| 00:02:01 |
- Maybe I'll see you again. |
| 00:02:20 |
Who do you think you are? |
| 00:02:33 |
- He slipped you something, huh? |
| 00:02:37 |
I stick my head in the window and say: |
| 00:02:39 |
"Parking in the highway, |
| 00:02:42 |
- He slipped me three little words. |
| 00:02:45 |
Yeah. He says, "The district attorney." |
| 00:02:48 |
That's right, the old DA himself. |
| 00:03:02 |
Good morning, my friend. |
| 00:03:05 |
All you've got to do is, you know, |
| 00:03:08 |
Right now I've got a certain trouble |
| 00:03:12 |
- You look healthy. |
| 00:03:15 |
They keep itching for me to go places. |
| 00:03:19 |
But it's a nice place you've got. |
| 00:03:22 |
- I'll make you a wonderful hamburger, free. |
| 00:03:24 |
To show you the food that goes with |
| 00:03:29 |
- Oh, I'm a born mechanic. |
| 00:03:32 |
Sit down. |
| 00:03:35 |
The job doesn't pay |
| 00:03:38 |
...but you've got no expenses. |
| 00:03:41 |
You eat and sleep right here. |
| 00:03:46 |
...fresh air, sunshine. |
| 00:03:49 |
- Boy, you'll be living. |
| 00:03:53 |
Yeah. |
| 00:03:56 |
- A customer. |
| 00:03:59 |
- I'll look after the hamburger. |
| 00:04:03 |
Don't go away. |
| 00:04:33 |
You drop this? |
| 00:04:35 |
Thanks. |
| 00:04:54 |
Thanks. |
| 00:05:31 |
That's it, burn it up. |
| 00:05:36 |
Your wife? |
| 00:05:40 |
Cora, I've got someone to help us now. |
| 00:06:02 |
Oh, turn that off, Cora. |
| 00:06:05 |
The electric light company |
| 00:06:12 |
My, Cora, you look lovely tonight. |
| 00:06:15 |
Thank you, Nick. |
| 00:06:18 |
Nick... |
| 00:06:21 |
...that man you hired today... |
| 00:06:23 |
Frank? |
| 00:06:25 |
Well, if that's his name. |
| 00:06:27 |
Why don't you give him |
| 00:06:30 |
- A week's pay for nothing? |
| 00:06:34 |
Now, hold on, that's a bit too hasty. |
| 00:06:38 |
That Los Angeles butcher |
| 00:06:41 |
Yes. He's been charging you |
| 00:06:44 |
Yeah. Well, we'll fix him. |
| 00:07:06 |
My husband tells me |
| 00:07:09 |
That's right. |
| 00:07:13 |
Well, Frank, around here, you'll kindly |
| 00:07:18 |
Your husband, Nick, |
| 00:07:21 |
...and I thought he was boss. |
| 00:07:23 |
The best way to get my husband to fire you |
| 00:07:29 |
Well, you haven't asked me |
| 00:07:36 |
I want all these chairs painted. |
| 00:07:39 |
All right. |
| 00:07:42 |
I'll look in the paper. |
| 00:07:46 |
You won't find anything |
| 00:07:51 |
Look in the cupboard |
| 00:08:04 |
As my friend Nick would say, |
| 00:08:07 |
Next time anybody is in town |
| 00:08:11 |
Look on the bottom shelf. |
| 00:08:17 |
Well, what do you know about that? |
| 00:08:24 |
Why didn't you start this campaign |
| 00:08:28 |
- Or were you waiting for me? |
| 00:08:31 |
- Nick saves a lot. |
| 00:08:34 |
I didn't say it was. Only when |
| 00:08:37 |
What do you want |
| 00:08:40 |
Because I want to make something |
| 00:08:44 |
Well... |
| 00:08:47 |
...aren't we ambitious? |
| 00:08:53 |
We want to make a lot of money |
| 00:08:58 |
Or maybe we want to put a little aside |
| 00:09:40 |
For a couple of weeks then |
| 00:09:43 |
... or say a word to me |
| 00:09:46 |
I began to feel like a cheap nobody making |
| 00:09:51 |
Oh, I disturbed her. |
| 00:09:54 |
I knew she hated me for that |
| 00:10:15 |
A customer wants this wiped off. |
| 00:10:21 |
Trying to figure a way |
| 00:10:24 |
- Well, don't bother. |
| 00:10:26 |
- All I need is a stepladder. |
| 00:10:30 |
I've been trying to get a new sign |
| 00:10:33 |
Maybe there are things |
| 00:10:36 |
Hello there. You know, Frank, |
| 00:10:40 |
You hardly eat any lunch. |
| 00:10:43 |
- I guess his girl's got another fella. |
| 00:10:46 |
Funny climate around here. The harder |
| 00:10:50 |
We call that wind the Santa Ana. |
| 00:10:53 |
Nick, why don't you let me take your car, |
| 00:10:59 |
Take it to the electric company. |
| 00:11:02 |
Sure, why not? They make |
| 00:11:05 |
Now you're talking |
| 00:11:08 |
A neon sign would burn |
| 00:11:10 |
...but, Nick, that's not the point. |
| 00:11:12 |
- It isn't? |
| 00:11:16 |
- To show people where they can eat. |
| 00:11:19 |
A sign should give people an appetite. |
| 00:11:25 |
Yeah. Maybe you're right... |
| 00:11:28 |
...but I'm too busy to talk about it now. |
| 00:11:34 |
He's hooked. |
| 00:11:36 |
I could sell anything to anybody. |
| 00:11:41 |
That's what you think. |
| 00:12:08 |
Tell me one thing. |
| 00:12:10 |
How did you ever come to marry |
| 00:12:14 |
Is that any of your business? |
| 00:12:17 |
Maybe. |
| 00:12:39 |
Maybe it's none of my business, |
| 00:12:44 |
He's so crazy about the sign, he's afraid |
| 00:12:49 |
Yeah? |
| 00:12:51 |
Watch. |
| 00:12:56 |
I've seen many a sign, |
| 00:12:59 |
- I gotta hand it to you. |
| 00:13:01 |
I was trying to get the old one fixed, |
| 00:13:05 |
A new sign, prettier |
| 00:13:07 |
Thanks, Frank. Did it make you hungry? |
| 00:13:11 |
- Thirsty. |
| 00:13:14 |
Thanks. |
| 00:13:20 |
No, thank you. |
| 00:13:26 |
- Sing something, Nick. |
| 00:13:49 |
Go on, Cora. Do a little dance for us. |
| 00:13:53 |
I feel silly dancing alone... |
| 00:13:56 |
...but start the jukebox, Nick, |
| 00:14:00 |
Listen to her, Frank. I'm always telling her |
| 00:14:04 |
My brains are not in my feet. |
| 00:14:07 |
- How about me dancing with Mrs. Smith? |
| 00:14:14 |
- I prefer to watch dancing. |
| 00:14:18 |
I've got an idea. Try in here. |
| 00:14:22 |
Nick, I've practically forgotten |
| 00:14:25 |
Oh, you're wonderful, and you know it. |
| 00:14:29 |
- Nick, I don't want to. |
| 00:14:33 |
Go ahead, Cora. |
| 00:15:16 |
Save your strength, Nick. |
| 00:15:20 |
Cora, you left the new sign burning. |
| 00:15:26 |
Nick. |
| 00:15:29 |
I'll drive to the beach |
| 00:15:32 |
Sure, that's a wonderful idea. You haven't |
| 00:15:36 |
- Won't you come with me? |
| 00:15:39 |
I'll just stay here |
| 00:15:42 |
All right. |
| 00:15:58 |
Climb right in. It's okay. |
| 00:16:00 |
Nick said it was all right with him |
| 00:16:18 |
Let's not stay too long, |
| 00:16:21 |
Don't worry, you'll find this night air |
| 00:16:49 |
Hey! |
| 00:17:22 |
Oh, do you like lemon meringue pie? |
| 00:17:26 |
- I don't know. L... |
| 00:17:35 |
It's you, Cora. |
| 00:17:38 |
I thought it was a customer wanting gas. |
| 00:17:40 |
- Were you worried? |
| 00:17:43 |
Only I didn't expect you back so soon. |
| 00:17:46 |
Good night, Frank. |
| 00:17:55 |
Please don't. |
| 00:18:11 |
Cora? |
| 00:18:17 |
Cora. |
| 00:18:24 |
The next day we were so busy |
| 00:18:28 |
Not until the middle of the morning. |
| 00:18:32 |
... and Nick had just left for L.A. |
| 00:19:24 |
Nick had another brainstorm |
| 00:19:27 |
This time it's the laundry service |
| 00:19:39 |
- Frank, about that question. |
| 00:19:43 |
Why I married Nick. |
| 00:19:45 |
My answer is that Nick came along |
| 00:19:51 |
The ring was the first thing |
| 00:19:53 |
And you liked it |
| 00:19:57 |
You don't know the half of it. |
| 00:19:59 |
Frank, I hate to say this... |
| 00:20:04 |
...but I wasn't ever homely, so... |
| 00:20:07 |
You must have had |
| 00:20:10 |
A lot of guys? |
| 00:20:12 |
All the guys. |
| 00:20:14 |
I don't especially like |
| 00:20:17 |
...but I never met a man since I was 14 |
| 00:20:21 |
Sure. By the time Nick came along... |
| 00:20:24 |
...you were ready to marry |
| 00:20:28 |
Seemed the best thing to do |
| 00:20:32 |
And as for him, I told him... |
| 00:20:37 |
- I told him I didn't love him. |
| 00:20:41 |
Yeah. |
| 00:20:43 |
- But it didn't. |
| 00:20:46 |
- And that's why... |
| 00:20:50 |
The undefeated champ. |
| 00:20:54 |
Not 100% undefeated. |
| 00:20:58 |
Not now. |
| 00:21:02 |
What's that? |
| 00:21:04 |
Somebody trying to come in. |
| 00:21:08 |
Is the door locked? |
| 00:21:11 |
I must have locked it. |
| 00:21:16 |
Whoever it was, they... |
| 00:21:20 |
They went away. |
| 00:21:35 |
- Too bad Nick took the car. |
| 00:21:38 |
...we couldn't take it. Not unless |
| 00:21:42 |
Stealing a man's wife, that's nothing, |
| 00:21:51 |
Get over! |
| 00:22:44 |
- Say, you're not tired already, are you? |
| 00:22:47 |
Come on, let's sit down for a minute. |
| 00:22:50 |
Here. |
| 00:22:55 |
Don't worry, we'll get a lift |
| 00:22:59 |
Frank, look, if I divorce Nick, |
| 00:23:02 |
- He'll keep the Twin Oaks and everything. |
| 00:23:05 |
- But where are we headed? |
| 00:23:08 |
- Anywhere. Do you know where that is? |
| 00:23:12 |
No, it isn't. It's back to |
| 00:23:14 |
For you, some parking lot where you |
| 00:23:19 |
- I would die if I saw you in a smock. |
| 00:23:22 |
But that was mine. |
| 00:23:25 |
Oh, don't you see? You're smart. |
| 00:23:29 |
...and you could be manager. |
| 00:23:31 |
- Yeah, I can hardly wait. |
| 00:23:34 |
You're ashamed of being smart. |
| 00:23:37 |
...that'll take me back where I started. |
| 00:23:40 |
I want to be somebody. |
| 00:23:43 |
...l'll lose everything, |
| 00:23:48 |
Oh, I love you, Frank, |
| 00:23:54 |
Not starting out like a couple of tramps. |
| 00:23:58 |
I'm going back. |
| 00:24:13 |
- Frank! |
| 00:24:15 |
The note I wrote for Nick. |
| 00:24:17 |
- Where'd you leave it? |
| 00:24:20 |
Great. That's the first place he'll look too. |
| 00:24:24 |
Look, here comes a bus. Stop it. |
| 00:24:28 |
All right. |
| 00:25:10 |
Frank. |
| 00:25:12 |
Frank, look, it's Nick. |
| 00:25:15 |
Look out! |
| 00:25:20 |
That was close. |
| 00:25:22 |
I'd like to see him get plastered like that |
| 00:25:30 |
You didn't mean that. |
| 00:25:32 |
You were joking. |
| 00:25:34 |
Sure. |
| 00:25:35 |
Sure, I... I was joking. |
| 00:25:40 |
Of course you were. |
| 00:25:43 |
Of course. |
| 00:25:46 |
Well, I better change quick. |
| 00:26:11 |
Don't look now, |
| 00:26:15 |
And did I fix those laundry people |
| 00:26:20 |
Frank, I even made them |
| 00:26:24 |
- Why don't you jump in a cold shower? |
| 00:26:28 |
Because I'm not only a little high, |
| 00:26:35 |
What's the idea... |
| 00:26:38 |
...of your good clothes? |
| 00:26:41 |
You're not going to quit |
| 00:26:44 |
What's the matter, Frank? |
| 00:26:49 |
Maybe you and I |
| 00:26:59 |
What's the big idea of the suitcases? |
| 00:27:02 |
- Now, take it easy, Nick. |
| 00:27:06 |
- Wait a minute! |
| 00:27:10 |
I take in a hobo |
| 00:27:14 |
The moment I've got |
| 00:27:17 |
- I'm not a thief. |
| 00:27:29 |
Come on, open up those suitcases. |
| 00:27:31 |
Well, what's all the argument about? |
| 00:27:35 |
He's a thief, Cora. |
| 00:27:39 |
I just got back in time. |
| 00:27:41 |
You're crazy, Nick. |
| 00:27:45 |
This afternoon he got |
| 00:27:48 |
He said his feet were itching |
| 00:27:50 |
So he came in to say goodbye |
| 00:27:53 |
With two suitcases, you mean. |
| 00:27:58 |
You've had too much beer, Nick. |
| 00:28:02 |
...but Frank's bought a lot of things |
| 00:28:05 |
...and I told him he could have it |
| 00:28:12 |
That's a pretty good bargain, Cora. |
| 00:28:16 |
I'm sorry, Frank. |
| 00:28:20 |
My boy, that road fever |
| 00:28:24 |
But that's all settled, darling. |
| 00:28:28 |
He forgot about it as soon as I promised |
| 00:28:35 |
Good girl. |
| 00:28:38 |
Now if I'm really smart, |
| 00:28:42 |
...and go and take that shower. |
| 00:28:53 |
That's all right, Nick, |
| 00:28:56 |
What's the difference if they do get dirty? |
| 00:29:01 |
I got them washed for free. |
| 00:29:29 |
Right then, I should have |
| 00:29:32 |
... but I couldn't make myself do it. |
| 00:29:34 |
She had me licked, and she knew it. |
| 00:29:38 |
For a week she treated me as if I was |
| 00:29:42 |
I nearly went out of my mind. |
| 00:29:44 |
I couldn't go, and I couldn't stay |
| 00:29:48 |
Then one night, I decided |
| 00:29:53 |
... to see if there wasn't some future, |
| 00:30:24 |
No. |
| 00:30:53 |
What are we going to do? |
| 00:30:55 |
That's great, coming from you. After you've |
| 00:31:00 |
What else could I do? |
| 00:31:02 |
Oh, Frank. |
| 00:31:04 |
Frank, if I'd only met you first. |
| 00:31:06 |
Well? |
| 00:31:09 |
Frank, do you love me? |
| 00:31:11 |
Yes. |
| 00:31:14 |
Do you love me so much |
| 00:31:17 |
Yes. |
| 00:31:19 |
There's... |
| 00:31:21 |
There's one thing we could do |
| 00:31:23 |
...fix everything for us. |
| 00:31:25 |
What? Pray for something |
| 00:31:30 |
Something like that. |
| 00:31:34 |
- Cora! |
| 00:31:37 |
- Didn't you? |
| 00:31:39 |
- Were you? |
| 00:31:41 |
- Or had you started to think about it? |
| 00:31:44 |
- Well, I say it again now, and I do mean it! |
| 00:31:48 |
Listen, Frank, |
| 00:31:50 |
I wanna keep this place and work hard |
| 00:31:56 |
But you can't do it without love. |
| 00:32:00 |
At least a woman can't. |
| 00:32:03 |
I've made a big mistake in my life. |
| 00:32:05 |
And I've got to be this way |
| 00:32:08 |
- They hang you for that. |
| 00:32:11 |
You're smart, Frank. |
| 00:32:13 |
Plenty of men have. |
| 00:32:15 |
He never did anything to me. |
| 00:32:17 |
But, darling, can't you see how happy |
| 00:32:21 |
Without him? |
| 00:32:26 |
Do you love me, Cora? |
| 00:32:28 |
That's why you've got to help me. |
| 00:32:30 |
It's because I do love you. |
| 00:32:33 |
I guess you do. |
| 00:32:35 |
You couldn't get me to say yes |
| 00:32:43 |
I guess I worked out the details... |
| 00:32:46 |
... but the original plan was hers. |
| 00:32:48 |
She got it from an article in a magazine |
| 00:32:52 |
... happen right in people's homes. |
| 00:32:55 |
Mostly right in their own bathtubs. |
| 00:33:12 |
Will you be able to hear the bathtub |
| 00:33:16 |
Can't help hearing it. |
| 00:33:18 |
He always starts to sing |
| 00:33:21 |
- We'll sink or swim on how that story's told. |
| 00:33:26 |
Nick was taking a bath. |
| 00:33:28 |
You were outside wiping off the car. |
| 00:33:32 |
All of a sudden I noticed |
| 00:33:35 |
- Maybe we'd better say that... |
| 00:33:39 |
All right, all right. Make sure |
| 00:33:43 |
Just say you came in |
| 00:33:45 |
And then... |
| 00:33:47 |
...when he's not looking, you... |
| 00:34:08 |
Then what do you do? |
| 00:34:10 |
Then I lock the door... |
| 00:34:12 |
...and make sure the water |
| 00:34:15 |
I step out the window, |
| 00:34:17 |
Put the stepladder in the shed. |
| 00:34:21 |
Don't move away from that car |
| 00:34:24 |
Don't worry. If I give you the signal |
| 00:34:28 |
Nobody stops here |
| 00:34:31 |
Cora... |
| 00:34:33 |
Maybe it would be better if I did it. |
| 00:34:35 |
We settled that a dozen times. If I go in |
| 00:36:42 |
That your car? |
| 00:36:44 |
It belongs to the fellow |
| 00:36:46 |
Oh, hello. Yeah, yeah. |
| 00:36:50 |
Okay, just checking up. |
| 00:36:53 |
- What's that? |
| 00:36:58 |
Well... |
| 00:37:00 |
- Look at that. |
| 00:37:01 |
Oh, that doggone cat |
| 00:37:07 |
I like cats. Always up to something. |
| 00:37:32 |
- Frank! |
| 00:37:34 |
Are you crazy, screaming like that? |
| 00:37:37 |
- What happened? All the lights went out. |
| 00:37:41 |
- Did you do it? |
| 00:37:43 |
But before I could do anything else, |
| 00:37:46 |
He's unconscious, |
| 00:37:49 |
- Did he see you do it? |
| 00:37:51 |
- We got to bring him to. |
| 00:37:52 |
Listen, there was a state cop outside |
| 00:37:56 |
- But he mustn't come to! |
| 00:38:00 |
The cop saw that stepladder. |
| 00:38:03 |
- I'll get him. You phone a doctor. |
| 00:38:07 |
Get on that phone and call a doctor! |
| 00:38:12 |
Operator. Operator, this is Twin Oaks. |
| 00:38:16 |
I want a doctor. |
| 00:38:18 |
Any doctor. Quick. |
| 00:38:23 |
But I don't want an ambulance! |
| 00:38:31 |
Frank, will you please stop...? |
| 00:38:39 |
- Oh, so it's you. |
| 00:38:42 |
- The boss, Mr. Smith, he had an accident. |
| 00:38:45 |
- This is Mrs. Smith, isn't it? |
| 00:38:48 |
This is the district attorney, Mrs. Smith. |
| 00:38:51 |
- My name's Sackett. |
| 00:38:55 |
What happened? |
| 00:38:57 |
Well, I went in there... |
| 00:39:00 |
...to the bathroom, I mean, |
| 00:39:02 |
He was in there? |
| 00:39:04 |
Yes, just standing up in the tub. |
| 00:39:07 |
Suddenly there was a big flash |
| 00:39:11 |
...and the lights went out |
| 00:39:14 |
I heard him fall, |
| 00:39:18 |
- The doctor thinks you'd better come in. |
| 00:39:30 |
He seems to be coming back |
| 00:39:33 |
Doctor, is he going to...? |
| 00:39:35 |
I'm afraid I can't make any promises. |
| 00:39:45 |
Nick. |
| 00:39:48 |
Nick. |
| 00:39:55 |
Nick, it's me. Cora. |
| 00:40:17 |
Nick, don't you even know |
| 00:40:23 |
And aren't you ashamed of yourself? Falling |
| 00:40:29 |
...just because the lights went out. |
| 00:40:35 |
Nick, aren't you going to speak to me? |
| 00:40:48 |
Everything... |
| 00:40:51 |
...went dark. |
| 00:40:59 |
What happened? |
| 00:41:33 |
- Quick. What happened? |
| 00:41:36 |
Same thing here. |
| 00:41:38 |
What are we going to do? They know |
| 00:41:42 |
That's what we've got to figure |
| 00:41:56 |
I thought so. There's that cop. |
| 00:42:12 |
Watch your step now. |
| 00:42:15 |
Yeah. |
| 00:42:27 |
It's me, laddie. |
| 00:42:30 |
Hello, Mr. Sackett. |
| 00:42:32 |
I'd better look at that fuse box |
| 00:42:34 |
I was just gonna try to find |
| 00:42:40 |
- Right there at the top of the stepladder. |
| 00:42:44 |
I noticed some insulation worn off the feed |
| 00:42:48 |
Well, I'll be doggoned. Look at that! |
| 00:42:53 |
Yeah, there's your cat. |
| 00:42:55 |
Deader than a doornail. |
| 00:42:57 |
- That's right. Remember? |
| 00:43:00 |
We were looking at her. |
| 00:43:01 |
She must have walked off |
| 00:43:04 |
Boy, those fuses blew out |
| 00:43:08 |
- Cats are poor, dumb things. |
| 00:43:11 |
- They don't know a thing about electricity. |
| 00:43:15 |
Yes, the cat's dead, all right. |
| 00:43:18 |
Well, accidents can happen |
| 00:43:22 |
So long, laddie. |
| 00:43:25 |
I never saw a prettier cat. |
| 00:43:28 |
Killed her deader than a doornail. |
| 00:43:45 |
- Oh, Frank. |
| 00:43:48 |
- It was all my fault. |
| 00:43:50 |
No, it was all my fault. |
| 00:43:53 |
I was the one that thought it up, |
| 00:43:57 |
- But next time I'll listen to you. |
| 00:44:02 |
- Oh, never. Never. |
| 00:44:05 |
If Nick should die, they'll know. |
| 00:44:09 |
They always find out. |
| 00:44:13 |
I guess I'm not any braver |
| 00:44:17 |
...or else I wouldn't have been so scared. |
| 00:44:20 |
I'm plenty scared too. |
| 00:44:23 |
When all the lights went out... |
| 00:44:25 |
...I was just a little girl again... |
| 00:44:28 |
...afraid of the dark. |
| 00:44:30 |
But from now on you'll be the brains of this |
| 00:44:35 |
We can't make any plans |
| 00:44:39 |
Yeah, I know. |
| 00:44:46 |
Answer it. |
| 00:44:57 |
Hello? |
| 00:45:01 |
This is Mrs. Nicholas Smith. |
| 00:45:05 |
What? |
| 00:45:08 |
Yes. |
| 00:45:11 |
Yes. |
| 00:45:13 |
Oh, well... |
| 00:45:15 |
...thank you so much |
| 00:45:17 |
Goodbye. |
| 00:45:19 |
He's all right. They wanna keep |
| 00:45:23 |
- Now we can breathe again for a minute. |
| 00:45:26 |
A week. A whole week |
| 00:45:29 |
You give me a big kiss |
| 00:45:36 |
You know, it's after 7:00. We've got |
| 00:45:40 |
That was the happiest week |
| 00:45:43 |
I wouldn't let myself think. |
| 00:45:45 |
And Cora wouldn't even discuss what |
| 00:45:49 |
All I cared about was her being happy. |
| 00:45:52 |
And as for me, |
| 00:45:58 |
Look at that, a battery |
| 00:46:01 |
I'll say everything's fine around here. |
| 00:46:04 |
Will Mrs. Smith be tickled pink! Say, how |
| 00:46:09 |
No. Nope, I've got to hurry. |
| 00:46:12 |
- So your boss is coming home? |
| 00:46:14 |
Today, you mean. Sure, I just passed |
| 00:46:18 |
That gorgeous blond was driving careful, |
| 00:46:23 |
Oh, that poor little pussycat. |
| 00:46:25 |
- Sure killed her. |
| 00:46:29 |
Yeah. |
| 00:46:38 |
It was for her sake as well as mine |
| 00:46:42 |
If I waited for them, I couldn't convince her |
| 00:46:47 |
And if I stayed there, |
| 00:46:52 |
But after a couple weeks in L. A... |
| 00:46:54 |
... I sunk low enough to hang around |
| 00:46:57 |
... where they bought a lot of their stuff, |
| 00:47:03 |
I just couldn't get her out of my mind. |
| 00:47:27 |
Hey, Frank! |
| 00:47:29 |
I've been looking for you |
| 00:47:32 |
- Hello, Nick. |
| 00:47:34 |
- We're going back to Twin Oaks. |
| 00:47:36 |
Something important's |
| 00:47:39 |
Besides, I wanna tell you |
| 00:47:42 |
That's the truth. |
| 00:47:44 |
Yes, sir, I can show you |
| 00:47:47 |
That little business in the bathroom |
| 00:47:52 |
That's a lot of hamburgers. |
| 00:48:01 |
Well, where did you come from? |
| 00:48:04 |
I found him near the market. |
| 00:48:07 |
Hello, Mrs. Smith. |
| 00:48:12 |
Splendid, thank you. |
| 00:48:17 |
Well, I've got work to do. |
| 00:48:22 |
It's a customer. Just a minute. |
| 00:48:39 |
Have you been thinking about me, Cora? |
| 00:48:43 |
I couldn't forget you that quick. |
| 00:48:53 |
- How have you been? |
| 00:49:01 |
Have you got a little kiss for me? |
| 00:49:04 |
We're going to have dinner in a few |
| 00:49:09 |
As a homecoming, this is the worst flop |
| 00:49:24 |
Of course, they took a lot of x-ray pictures, |
| 00:49:31 |
- What's this? A family album? |
| 00:49:34 |
There's my first license to sell food |
| 00:49:38 |
And that's a snapshot of Cora and me |
| 00:49:42 |
Wasn't she cute? |
| 00:49:44 |
Just a minute. I'll put the other light on. |
| 00:49:51 |
Which one of you two is working |
| 00:49:55 |
Put on the lights again, Cora, please. |
| 00:49:59 |
All right, waste your money. |
| 00:50:02 |
The next time the electric light bill |
| 00:50:06 |
- You're not going to be here? |
| 00:50:09 |
Oh, now you've made me |
| 00:50:12 |
I'm selling the Twin Oaks. |
| 00:50:15 |
Well, that's not a very good joke. |
| 00:50:18 |
It's not a joke. A fellow named Stanton said |
| 00:50:22 |
He's offering a big price for the place. |
| 00:50:25 |
Why sell now when it might turn out |
| 00:50:28 |
Somebody's bound to open up |
| 00:50:32 |
But mainly, Cora, so as you can |
| 00:50:36 |
Stop work? Where? Doing what? |
| 00:50:39 |
- We're going back to live with my sister. |
| 00:50:44 |
Nick, you never even told me |
| 00:50:47 |
Well, I didn't want to worry you |
| 00:50:50 |
...she hasn't been very well |
| 00:50:54 |
- Where is she? |
| 00:50:57 |
Of course, half of it belongs to me. |
| 00:51:02 |
Nick, this is pretty sudden. |
| 00:51:05 |
- Let me tell you what I think about it. |
| 00:51:08 |
- This is best. |
| 00:51:12 |
- Let's talk this over. |
| 00:51:16 |
I've given it a good deal of thought. |
| 00:51:19 |
You thought it over and your mind's |
| 00:51:23 |
...your mind's made up. Well, mine isn't! |
| 00:51:30 |
That's too bad. |
| 00:51:36 |
You see, my sister recently |
| 00:51:39 |
She can't move at all. |
| 00:51:45 |
Oh, she's going to live |
| 00:51:49 |
But she needs us to take care of her. |
| 00:51:55 |
Nick, you... |
| 00:51:56 |
You mean you want me to...? |
| 00:52:00 |
Nick, don't sell the place! |
| 00:52:06 |
Well, I'm... |
| 00:52:08 |
I'm going to sell it. |
| 00:52:16 |
I'm superstitious. I... |
| 00:52:19 |
Never turn down a good offer. |
| 00:52:23 |
I'm going to close the deal now |
| 00:52:28 |
Excuse me. I'm gonna use the extension. |
| 00:52:39 |
Hello, Mr. Stanton. |
| 00:52:43 |
Oh, Mr. Stanton, |
| 00:52:47 |
How soon can you have the papers ready |
| 00:52:52 |
Sure, I'll come to Santa Barbara |
| 00:52:56 |
...l've located that fellow I said |
| 00:52:59 |
Yeah. Sure, I'll bring him along. |
| 00:53:02 |
Yeah. Goodbye, Mr. Stanton. |
| 00:53:12 |
Now everybody's got something |
| 00:53:15 |
My boy, you're gonna have |
| 00:53:18 |
As you get along in the world, |
| 00:53:22 |
Cora, my dear, in years to come, |
| 00:53:28 |
As for me, I'll have enough money to live |
| 00:53:33 |
What was good enough for my father |
| 00:53:36 |
Come on. Let's get a good night's rest. |
| 00:53:40 |
After a nice little supper party, |
| 00:53:44 |
Wednesday at 10 a.m. Sharp, |
| 00:53:48 |
Come on. Good night, Frank. |
| 00:53:56 |
We'll let Stanton have a big electric light |
| 00:01:21 |
l had to. That's all. |
| 00:01:25 |
No, you didn't. |
| 00:01:28 |
l could've gone through everything |
| 00:01:33 |
Why couldn't you just leave me alone |
| 00:01:38 |
Cora... |
| 00:01:40 |
...let's.... |
| 00:01:42 |
Let's figure something out. |
| 00:01:44 |
l love you, Cora. |
| 00:01:48 |
You love me... |
| 00:01:50 |
...and what do you do? |
| 00:01:53 |
You let him take me away |
| 00:01:58 |
...where l'll rot the rest of my life away |
| 00:02:03 |
...half-dead sister. |
| 00:02:07 |
You love me... |
| 00:02:09 |
...l love you, but what do you do? |
| 00:02:12 |
You let him take me to Santa Barbara. |
| 00:02:15 |
And you're even going |
| 00:02:19 |
You're gonna stay |
| 00:02:22 |
Why, if you really loved me, |
| 00:02:31 |
-All right. |
| 00:02:33 |
Yes. l can't leave you. |
| 00:02:36 |
But isn't there any other way |
| 00:02:38 |
You were just gonna put a knife |
| 00:02:46 |
No. |
| 00:02:49 |
That knife was for me, Frank. |
| 00:02:52 |
Not him. |
| 00:02:57 |
You love me that much? |
| 00:03:01 |
That much. |
| 00:03:03 |
We tried every other way. |
| 00:03:06 |
l guess it's in the cards. |
| 00:03:10 |
That other time had cured me of any idea |
| 00:03:14 |
This was gonna be such a bad murder, |
| 00:03:18 |
A regular drunk automobile accident... |
| 00:03:20 |
...with liquor in the car |
| 00:03:38 |
Closed up early? |
| 00:03:40 |
Hello, Mr. Sackett. |
| 00:03:43 |
Anything l can get you |
| 00:03:46 |
l need a little air in my tires. |
| 00:03:51 |
Oh! My bag! |
| 00:03:53 |
lt's all right, Mrs. Smith. l'll get it. |
| 00:04:00 |
-Frank, that's Sackett! |
| 00:04:04 |
We'll do our act here instead of |
| 00:04:20 |
Let me get behind that wheel. |
| 00:04:23 |
No. You're as drunk as Nick is, |
| 00:04:26 |
Me, drunk? l'm not drunk. |
| 00:04:32 |
Frank Chambers, get in that back seat. |
| 00:04:35 |
Okay, Mrs. Smith, if you want Nick |
| 00:04:39 |
Nick, you shove over. |
| 00:04:43 |
All right, all right. |
| 00:05:01 |
No, Cora, you keep straight on. |
| 00:05:04 |
l've always wanted to see Malibu Lake. |
| 00:05:08 |
Okay. |
| 00:05:21 |
See, Cora, look what you're doing. |
| 00:05:24 |
This is the worst piece of road |
| 00:05:30 |
No, no! |
| 00:05:42 |
Look at that gauge. |
| 00:05:44 |
She's boiling over. |
| 00:05:46 |
-Should l pull over and let it cool off? |
| 00:05:51 |
We gotta save this little bus |
| 00:06:01 |
There. |
| 00:06:04 |
Hey, Nick, what happened to your voice? |
| 00:06:19 |
l gotta get out. |
| 00:06:22 |
Nick! Hey, Nick. Nick! |
| 00:06:26 |
Come on back in the car. |
| 00:06:32 |
Listen! |
| 00:06:38 |
-lt's an echo, yeah. |
| 00:06:40 |
Let's go back in the car. |
| 00:06:42 |
-lt's a wonderful echo. |
| 00:06:44 |
lt's a wonderful echo. |
| 00:06:47 |
Cora, there's an echo out there. Listen. |
| 00:06:55 |
See? Which is best, me or the echo? |
| 00:06:58 |
The echo can't take your high note, Nick. |
| 00:07:01 |
Here, listen. |
| 00:07:42 |
lt's gonna be tough going now. |
| 00:07:46 |
-After that, l can go through anything. |
| 00:07:50 |
We gotta mess ourselves up so we can |
| 00:08:02 |
lt's hardly smashed up at all. |
| 00:08:06 |
Look, Frank, a car is coming! |
| 00:08:10 |
-Can they see us? |
| 00:08:12 |
There are no marks on us, but it's too late. |
| 00:08:30 |
No! |
| 00:08:34 |
Frank! |
| 00:08:41 |
Help! Help! Help! |
| 00:08:45 |
Help! Help! |
| 00:08:50 |
Help! |
| 00:08:53 |
Help! |
| 00:08:58 |
Help! |
| 00:09:00 |
Help! Help! |
| 00:09:03 |
You can stop yelling, Mrs. Smith. |
| 00:09:05 |
Sure. l've been following you. |
| 00:09:08 |
lt's too bad l couldn't |
| 00:09:52 |
Hello there, laddie. How do you feel? |
| 00:09:55 |
l'll be all right. |
| 00:09:57 |
You're not very hospitable for a patient |
| 00:10:01 |
There's nobody in this part |
| 00:10:04 |
Not even Mrs. Smith? Cora? |
| 00:10:08 |
Come on, laddie. |
| 00:10:09 |
You and she murdered her husband. |
| 00:10:11 |
The sooner you admit it, |
| 00:10:14 |
You're wrong, Mr. Sackett. |
| 00:10:16 |
How about a full confession? |
| 00:10:18 |
A plea of guilty, and l'll do |
| 00:10:21 |
-Clemency for you. |
| 00:10:25 |
lnterested to know l've been wise |
| 00:10:29 |
Nick's death was an accident. |
| 00:10:31 |
Why should l wanna hurt a nice, |
| 00:10:35 |
A motive? The girl herself, for one thing. |
| 00:10:40 |
That's no good, Mr. Sackett. |
| 00:10:41 |
l never wanted to be tied down |
| 00:10:45 |
Then we'll come to the real motive. |
| 00:10:47 |
That brand-new $ 1 0,000 insurance policy |
| 00:10:53 |
Here. |
| 00:10:58 |
Have a drink of water, |
| 00:11:04 |
-lnsurance policy? |
| 00:11:06 |
And he took it out |
| 00:11:10 |
l give you my oath. |
| 00:11:12 |
l never heard about any insurance |
| 00:11:15 |
No? Why did you turn white |
| 00:11:18 |
l don't know anything about a policy. |
| 00:11:22 |
-You think l'm going to stand for that? |
| 00:11:26 |
lt all started when you |
| 00:11:31 |
Nick's had an accident, |
| 00:11:34 |
l left before Nick came home |
| 00:11:36 |
And two days after you came back, |
| 00:11:40 |
You were in touch |
| 00:11:42 |
And the day after the policy was granted, |
| 00:11:48 |
She'd fixed up this Santa Barbara trip. |
| 00:11:51 |
And for old time's sakes, |
| 00:11:53 |
Then she had to see Malibu Lake. |
| 00:11:58 |
-Would you like to pick it up from there? |
| 00:12:01 |
But it was all planned. |
| 00:12:04 |
...then she slid out |
| 00:12:07 |
Then it was your turn to climb out, so you |
| 00:12:12 |
She moved too quick, |
| 00:12:14 |
-She jumped, you went over the cliff. |
| 00:12:18 |
How do you know? |
| 00:12:20 |
-l mean, l don't think that's-- |
| 00:12:23 |
You don't know what happened. |
| 00:12:25 |
Wait a minute. |
| 00:12:29 |
Maybe you didn't have |
| 00:12:32 |
Maybe she did it. |
| 00:12:34 |
Listen, laddie, she did do it. |
| 00:12:36 |
There were three people in that car, |
| 00:12:39 |
lt's a cinch Nick didn't do it. |
| 00:12:41 |
So if you were too drunk, |
| 00:12:44 |
-Who says anybody did it? |
| 00:12:46 |
lf you told the truth, |
| 00:12:49 |
...except as the wife of your boss, |
| 00:12:53 |
Do something? l don't follow you-- |
| 00:12:55 |
You've got to sign a complaint |
| 00:12:58 |
A complaint? |
| 00:13:00 |
lf you were in that car, drunk and helpless, |
| 00:13:05 |
You've got to do something about that. |
| 00:13:09 |
She couldn't have meant to kill me. |
| 00:13:12 |
You were drunk, you couldn't know |
| 00:13:16 |
-l guess not. |
| 00:13:18 |
Then she slid out and sent the car |
| 00:13:22 |
-You saying it don't make it so. |
| 00:13:24 |
When l drove around, |
| 00:13:27 |
...but she was already |
| 00:13:30 |
She felt the car going over, |
| 00:13:33 |
She jumps out of a car turning over |
| 00:13:38 |
Because l can testify she had that white, |
| 00:13:43 |
Oh, no. Cora wasn't in that car |
| 00:13:46 |
You were still in it |
| 00:13:49 |
lt wasn't nervousness on Cora's part that |
| 00:13:54 |
She wanted that sweet property |
| 00:13:58 |
...instead of sharing it with you. |
| 00:14:00 |
-Now, are you gonna sign this complaint? |
| 00:14:03 |
-You got it mixed up. |
| 00:14:05 |
lf you didn't have anything |
| 00:14:08 |
lf you don't, l'll know. |
| 00:14:12 |
...and the guy in the poison gas |
| 00:14:16 |
So will the boys who bury |
| 00:14:19 |
...who were too dumb to make a deal while |
| 00:14:44 |
Officer, you may come in. |
| 00:14:48 |
-Hello there, Kyle. |
| 00:14:50 |
-Been hitting the headlines, haven't you? |
| 00:14:53 |
Can l see your friend here |
| 00:14:56 |
-You his lawyer? |
| 00:14:59 |
Laddie, l pity you. |
| 00:15:02 |
-For how much money? |
| 00:15:06 |
That's a bet. |
| 00:15:07 |
Of course, maybe l shouldn't |
| 00:15:17 |
-l like a hand without trumps. The bet goes. |
| 00:15:21 |
-What about dinner tonight? |
| 00:15:25 |
-And give my regards to the missus. |
| 00:15:27 |
-Goodbye, laddie. |
| 00:15:54 |
Chambers, my name's Arthur Keats. |
| 00:15:58 |
l shouldn't have signed it, |
| 00:16:01 |
Mr. Keats, do me a favor |
| 00:16:03 |
You shut up. |
| 00:16:06 |
l'll tell her what's good |
| 00:16:09 |
As for the rest of it, |
| 00:16:12 |
And that means l'm handling it. |
| 00:16:15 |
-Yes, sir. But l-- |
| 00:16:18 |
l was gonna ask questions, |
| 00:16:21 |
...the less you know, the better. |
| 00:16:27 |
Just once more: |
| 00:16:29 |
l'm handling this. |
| 00:16:32 |
And that means, whatever l do, |
| 00:16:36 |
-But, Mr. Keats-- |
| 00:16:39 |
Or, which is the same thing, |
| 00:16:43 |
-Hold it, please! |
| 00:16:45 |
-Thank you. |
| 00:16:55 |
This way. Thank you. |
| 00:17:20 |
Quiet, please. |
| 00:17:22 |
The court is again in session. |
| 00:17:26 |
-The People v. Cora Smith. |
| 00:17:31 |
Cora Smith, you're charged with |
| 00:17:36 |
And the attempted murder |
| 00:17:40 |
Steady. l'm handling it. |
| 00:17:41 |
Your Honor, we waive |
| 00:17:44 |
...since we intend to plead |
| 00:17:48 |
Quiet! Quiet, please! |
| 00:17:51 |
We're ready to appear in superior court |
| 00:17:55 |
We'll be prepared to arraign the defendant |
| 00:18:00 |
So ordered. There'll be a short recess. |
| 00:18:10 |
Hold it. |
| 00:19:07 |
We've been double-crossed, Cora. |
| 00:19:09 |
That lawyer, Keats, he's nothing |
| 00:19:13 |
l've been double-crossed, not you! |
| 00:19:15 |
l see it all now. l see why |
| 00:19:20 |
And that other time, |
| 00:19:23 |
-That's not so. |
| 00:19:25 |
l used to say to myself l fell for you |
| 00:19:29 |
Now l find out that you are smart! |
| 00:19:31 |
Double-crossed! l'll say l was. |
| 00:19:35 |
You and Keats fixed it so |
| 00:19:38 |
That was to get you clear! |
| 00:19:40 |
Then you two fixed it up |
| 00:19:43 |
Well, listen, Mr. Frank Chambers... |
| 00:19:45 |
...when l get through, you'll find out |
| 00:19:54 |
Get out of here, you stool pigeon. |
| 00:19:59 |
Why, what's the matter, Chambers? |
| 00:20:03 |
When l get my hands on you-- |
| 00:20:05 |
So you... |
| 00:20:07 |
...you and this man. |
| 00:20:09 |
This so-called man. |
| 00:20:11 |
You two framed me so l would |
| 00:20:15 |
He's not gonna squirm out of it. |
| 00:20:19 |
...and l'll tell the world! |
| 00:20:21 |
-l wouldn't do that. |
| 00:20:24 |
He's not going to get away with anything. |
| 00:20:28 |
-Just let me handle-- |
| 00:20:37 |
l'll tell the district attorney |
| 00:20:49 |
You the lady who wants |
| 00:20:52 |
That's right. A statement. |
| 00:21:15 |
Okay. |
| 00:21:19 |
This will be a full |
| 00:21:23 |
...of how.... |
| 00:21:26 |
Go ahead. |
| 00:21:28 |
Of how Frank Chambers and l |
| 00:21:31 |
...and carried out the murder |
| 00:21:35 |
Frank Chambers and l |
| 00:21:41 |
Although it was Frank who smashed Nick |
| 00:21:50 |
That's all. Except... |
| 00:21:52 |
...l didn't know anything about |
| 00:21:57 |
Anyway, we didn't do it |
| 00:22:02 |
That's it. |
| 00:22:10 |
All right. Sign here. |
| 00:23:22 |
l'll put you out of business. |
| 00:23:26 |
You know the district attorney fooled |
| 00:23:31 |
And you fell for it, both of you. |
| 00:23:37 |
He got you working |
| 00:23:39 |
-Don't you see? |
| 00:23:42 |
He got nothing from me, |
| 00:23:45 |
-And right away you turned yellow. |
| 00:23:49 |
Yellow is a color you figure on |
| 00:23:53 |
And nobody figures it better than |
| 00:23:57 |
Once he tricked you into |
| 00:24:00 |
...he knew no power on earth could |
| 00:24:04 |
That way, he gets you both. |
| 00:24:05 |
lf you knew all that, why didn't |
| 00:24:09 |
Oh, l tried. |
| 00:24:11 |
l tried, but nobody |
| 00:24:14 |
However, now that you've |
| 00:24:18 |
-Kennedy. |
| 00:24:24 |
That confession Mrs. Smith signed, |
| 00:24:27 |
l gave it to Jimmy White to lock |
| 00:24:33 |
That's all. |
| 00:24:38 |
You mean he's not from |
| 00:24:40 |
A plainclothes dick |
| 00:24:42 |
He used to be a dick. |
| 00:24:45 |
He works for me now. |
| 00:24:48 |
With the DA using high-pressure tactics, |
| 00:24:54 |
Since you were due to spill the beans, |
| 00:24:58 |
-Why, you-- |
| 00:25:01 |
To stop everything cold in that courtroom |
| 00:25:05 |
-Then the DA's got nothing against me. |
| 00:25:09 |
Oh, sure. He goes free, and l get tossed |
| 00:25:13 |
Unless you let me handle it. |
| 00:25:19 |
Listen, my girl... |
| 00:25:21 |
...you're still in trouble. |
| 00:25:23 |
Because we don't know what evidence |
| 00:25:26 |
From now on, speak only when spoken to. |
| 00:25:29 |
And in that court tomorrow, try and look |
| 00:25:33 |
And remember, |
| 00:25:37 |
Time's up, young lady. |
| 00:25:47 |
Cora Smith. ls that your true name? |
| 00:25:49 |
Yes. |
| 00:25:50 |
Cora Smith, you're charged in |
| 00:25:56 |
...Superior Court of California |
| 00:25:59 |
Count one, murder of Nicholas Smith. |
| 00:26:02 |
Count two, attempted murder |
| 00:26:04 |
Your Honor, we waive further reading. |
| 00:26:07 |
-Very well. |
| 00:26:10 |
We are. |
| 00:26:12 |
To count one, murder of Nicholas Smith, |
| 00:26:18 |
-Not guilty. |
| 00:26:24 |
lf Your Honor please... |
| 00:26:26 |
...my client protested her innocence |
| 00:26:29 |
l didn't believe her. |
| 00:26:30 |
ln her best interest, l urged her to plead |
| 00:26:35 |
But with later developments... |
| 00:26:37 |
...no other course is open to me |
| 00:26:46 |
Will the district attorney consent to a brief |
| 00:27:00 |
Kyle... |
| 00:27:02 |
...you're bluffing. |
| 00:27:04 |
You gambled on getting a confession, |
| 00:27:08 |
l know you haven't got one iota |
| 00:27:11 |
...and without witnesses, you'll never |
| 00:27:18 |
Dismiss that phony attempt charge... |
| 00:27:21 |
...change murder to manslaughter, |
| 00:27:25 |
...providing you give a recommendation |
| 00:27:38 |
lf Your Honor please... |
| 00:27:40 |
...l move to dismiss the charge |
| 00:27:43 |
...and to permit her to withdraw |
| 00:27:46 |
...for the purpose of |
| 00:27:51 |
Motion granted. |
| 00:27:53 |
l'm informed by defendant's counsel... |
| 00:27:55 |
...that she will enter a plea of guilty |
| 00:28:00 |
l feel this plea will be satisfactory to |
| 00:28:04 |
That's correct, Your Honor. |
| 00:28:07 |
Very well. |
| 00:28:09 |
Cora Smith, to the crime of manslaughter, |
| 00:28:16 |
Guilty. |
| 00:28:28 |
Guilty. |
| 00:28:35 |
Your Honor, we waive time for sentence. |
| 00:28:40 |
lt is the sentence of the law |
| 00:28:44 |
...that you be confined in the state |
| 00:28:48 |
...for the term prescribed by law. |
| 00:28:50 |
lf Your Honor please, l recommend |
| 00:28:58 |
lt seems to me that considerable leniency |
| 00:29:03 |
May we approach the bench |
| 00:29:09 |
Very well. |
| 00:29:23 |
l am personally satisfied of the defendant's |
| 00:29:27 |
...but there are many practical and legal |
| 00:29:32 |
ln these circumstances, |
| 00:29:36 |
...thus saving the people of the state of |
| 00:29:42 |
Return to your places. |
| 00:29:51 |
Having full confidence in the district |
| 00:29:56 |
The court summarily grants probation. |
| 00:29:58 |
And suspends execution of the sentence. |
| 00:30:06 |
That's it. You're free. |
| 00:30:09 |
lt's all right, Mrs. Smith. |
| 00:30:16 |
That's what you think. |
| 00:30:23 |
That was a brilliant piece |
| 00:30:27 |
Thank you, Kyle. |
| 00:30:28 |
But you're crazy if you think l'm |
| 00:30:34 |
Well, that's the whole story. |
| 00:30:36 |
Except that if either one of you even |
| 00:30:40 |
...Mr. Sackett will see |
| 00:30:51 |
Just a minute. |
| 00:30:55 |
Yes? |
| 00:30:58 |
That insurance policy. |
| 00:31:01 |
This 1 0,000 bucks you get |
| 00:31:04 |
Oh, sure. That's how l knew |
| 00:31:07 |
lf the company with the smartest |
| 00:31:11 |
...it's a cinch the DA couldn't. |
| 00:31:16 |
ln an exceptional case like this, |
| 00:31:22 |
But this time... |
| 00:31:24 |
...you take it. |
| 00:31:27 |
l don't want that 1 0 grand. |
| 00:31:32 |
l've been trying to figure things out, |
| 00:31:36 |
Don't say thanks. You did me a favor. |
| 00:31:40 |
l won 1 00 bucks from Sackett. |
| 00:31:44 |
l'm gonna frame it |
| 00:31:46 |
-Let's get going, Kennedy. |
| 00:31:59 |
Well, goodbye, Mr. Yellow. |
| 00:32:02 |
l don't know what you're going to do |
| 00:32:05 |
...but l'm going in |
| 00:32:12 |
Cora. Cora, look... |
| 00:32:15 |
...maybe-- Maybe you |
| 00:32:18 |
...we can go away somewhere and |
| 00:32:22 |
Oh, no. |
| 00:32:24 |
You've tried to make me a tramp |
| 00:32:27 |
But you're not going to do it. |
| 00:32:29 |
l stay here. |
| 00:32:32 |
All right. |
| 00:32:36 |
l'm gonna stay too. |
| 00:32:40 |
Let me tell you something. |
| 00:32:42 |
...there's going to be a lot of hard work, |
| 00:32:47 |
l'm going to fix a nice spot |
| 00:32:49 |
...then l'm going to sell beer-- |
| 00:32:51 |
-You're in the hamburger business-- |
| 00:32:57 |
So if you want to keep your job... |
| 00:33:00 |
...you'll have this place clean and open |
| 00:33:04 |
Okay. |
| 00:33:07 |
Okay, Mrs. Smith. |
| 00:33:12 |
That expresses it perfectly. |
| 00:33:18 |
Things stayed that way |
| 00:33:20 |
I had to watch her like a hawk |
| 00:33:23 |
People started flocking to the Twin Oaks |
| 00:33:28 |
Oh, Mrs. Smith? |
| 00:33:33 |
Mrs. Smith, would you kindly |
| 00:33:40 |
Oh, thank you. |
| 00:33:45 |
Popular girl, huh? |
| 00:33:46 |
Listen.... |
| 00:33:57 |
-Well, how are you, Mr. Keats? |
| 00:34:00 |
-Hello, Mr. Sackett. |
| 00:34:03 |
Something l can do for you? |
| 00:34:05 |
-Only some beer at the moment. |
| 00:34:08 |
You're pretty busy. |
| 00:34:10 |
Suppose l handle this table. |
| 00:34:12 |
You shouldn't mind |
| 00:34:19 |
-Hello, Frank. |
| 00:34:39 |
-Maybe it doesn't mean a thing. |
| 00:34:41 |
Maybe the district attorney's |
| 00:34:44 |
He claims folks around here are talking |
| 00:34:47 |
-Talking about it? |
| 00:34:50 |
ls it? |
| 00:34:51 |
An unmarried man and woman |
| 00:34:55 |
ln Los Angeles, they held a murder suspect, |
| 00:34:58 |
...they threw him in the can |
| 00:35:01 |
l'm way ahead of you, Mr. Keats. |
| 00:35:03 |
And l'll handle this. |
| 00:35:09 |
Don't wipe it off, Mr. Keats. |
| 00:35:13 |
This kind tastes good too. |
| 00:35:16 |
-l can't remember that far back. |
| 00:35:19 |
-...you imagined it even then. |
| 00:35:26 |
-Thanks. |
| 00:35:28 |
lt's my wedding present to him. |
| 00:35:30 |
The way he wears it, you'd think |
| 00:35:33 |
Well, l can only think of 1 5 or 20 reasons |
| 00:35:39 |
Well, there you are, my dear. |
| 00:35:41 |
Thanks. We'll paste it |
| 00:35:45 |
Say, this came |
| 00:35:48 |
Hope it's congratulations from Sackett. |
| 00:35:51 |
-Would you? |
| 00:35:53 |
You hope. |
| 00:36:01 |
lt's my mother. She.... |
| 00:36:04 |
She's had a heart attack. |
| 00:36:07 |
l haven't been home in three years. |
| 00:36:11 |
Mr. Keats, would you |
| 00:36:15 |
Leave it to me. |
| 00:36:21 |
-Check your baggage, sir? |
| 00:36:23 |
-When will you be back? |
| 00:36:26 |
l'll walk you to the train. |
| 00:36:28 |
Please, l hate goodbyes. |
| 00:36:35 |
A blind man without a cane |
| 00:36:38 |
Yeah. |
| 00:36:44 |
Come on, Chambers, |
| 00:36:47 |
No, thanks, Mr. Keats. |
| 00:36:49 |
l'm gonna to see if l can't |
| 00:36:58 |
Excuse me. |
| 00:37:01 |
You'll have to wait a while. |
| 00:37:03 |
l'm gonna wait standing up. |
| 00:37:06 |
lt's a hot day |
| 00:37:08 |
And l've got on a thin skirt. |
| 00:37:11 |
l'll cool the seat off for you. |

Thanks. |

l'll buy you the best Mexican dinner |
| 00:37:50 |
-Why Mexico? |
| 00:37:52 |
Besides, l got a little trouble. |
| 00:37:55 |
-Trouble? |
| 00:37:58 |
-They keep itching for me to go places. |
| 00:38:01 |
Can't stand captivity. |
| 00:38:04 |
Me too. |
| 00:38:06 |
l get so sick |
| 00:38:10 |
What time will we |
| 00:38:13 |
Oh, l got a whole week. |
| 00:38:16 |
Come on, slide in. |
| 00:38:18 |
All right. |
| 00:38:23 |
l'll bet you got a little gypsy in you. |
| 00:38:25 |
They say l was born |
| 00:38:28 |
Maybe a week won't be long enough, |
| 00:38:52 |
-The large one with the stripes, please. |
| 00:39:06 |
Cora, why didn't you let me know |
| 00:39:10 |
-l didn't wanna bother you with it. |
| 00:39:13 |
-Why should you? |
| 00:39:17 |
-...and me back here having a good time. |
| 00:39:20 |
When we get home, l'll give you |
| 00:39:23 |
-l'm not drinking anymore. |
| 00:39:26 |
l have a lot to tell you. l think you and l |
| 00:39:30 |
-Well, what is it? |
| 00:39:33 |
Here we are. |
| 00:39:35 |
Where'd you get the new car? |
| 00:39:51 |
Hello. |
| 00:39:54 |
Remember me? |
| 00:40:00 |
Yeah, sure, l remember you. |
| 00:40:03 |
Come on in. |
| 00:40:12 |
How you been, Mrs. Chambers? |
| 00:40:16 |
Fine, thanks. |
| 00:40:17 |
Oh, Frank, why don't you take |
| 00:40:21 |
-l'll get you a couple of beers. |
| 00:40:24 |
Thanks. |
| 00:40:26 |
-How's Mr. Keats? |
| 00:40:29 |
-l walked out. |
| 00:40:32 |
Well, if there's anything we can do, |
| 00:40:36 |
l was wondering... |
| 00:40:38 |
...if you could let me |
| 00:40:41 |
Well, l don't keep very much |
| 00:40:46 |
l was hoping you could make it more. |
| 00:40:49 |
-All right, Kennedy, what is it? |
| 00:40:52 |
...the one l wrote up for you, |
| 00:40:56 |
You mean that daydream |
| 00:40:58 |
Yeah. lt was still in the files |
| 00:41:02 |
...so l took it. l was thinking |
| 00:41:06 |
-How much do you want for it? |
| 00:41:09 |
We don't need that confession now. |
| 00:41:13 |
Sure. l'd pay that for it. |
| 00:41:15 |
l was thinking it was worth more. |
| 00:41:21 |
l was figuring on about... |
| 00:41:24 |
...$ 1 5,000. |
| 00:41:26 |
-Are you crazy? |
| 00:41:29 |
...and the publicity's |
| 00:41:31 |
Maybe 5 grand more. |
| 00:41:35 |
-You'd clean us out just for that paper? |
| 00:41:38 |
-Why you-- |
| 00:41:42 |
ln the first place, |
| 00:41:45 |
l'm not starting anything. l.... |
| 00:41:48 |
l guess you got us. |
| 00:41:50 |
Yeah, but, you're figuring too high. |
| 00:41:53 |
-Keep talking. |
| 00:41:56 |
...we made $4000, not $5000, |
| 00:42:00 |
And l had to go East and of course, |
| 00:42:03 |
Her mother died. |
| 00:42:04 |
And then we've been |
| 00:42:07 |
All right. |
| 00:42:09 |
Ten and two makes 1 2. |
| 00:42:12 |
-Twelve grand. |
| 00:42:14 |
Twelve thousand, |
| 00:42:20 |
Well, it looks like |
| 00:42:23 |
-lt's tough, but he's got us. |
| 00:42:27 |
l'll phone you at 5:00. |
| 00:42:30 |
...to go to the bank and get it. At 5:00, |
| 00:42:34 |
lf you haven't got it, Sackett. |
| 00:42:39 |
You know, Mr. Kennedy, it's really |
| 00:42:43 |
...because if we had been alone, |
| 00:42:46 |
...that l could've talked you out of it. |
| 00:42:58 |
All right, snap out of it |
| 00:43:01 |
l got no friends. |
| 00:43:03 |
l'm the only one that knows-- |
| 00:43:07 |
-You're gonna call your friends? |
| 00:43:10 |
l'm the only one that knows about it. |
| 00:43:12 |
-You're gonna call your friends? |
| 00:43:22 |
Don't hit me no more! |
| 00:43:24 |
-l tell you, l only got one friend. |
| 00:43:27 |
Get him on the phone. |
| 00:43:30 |
All right! All right! |
| 00:43:32 |
Here. |
| 00:43:35 |
Thanks. |
| 00:43:39 |
Cora, bring the extension phone, |
| 00:43:44 |
There it is, Kennedy. |
| 00:43:48 |
Here. |
| 00:43:49 |
lf he tries to pull a fast one, |
| 00:43:54 |
Come on. |
| 00:44:02 |
Say-- |
| 00:44:10 |
ls that you, Willie? |
| 00:44:12 |
This is me. |
| 00:44:16 |
How soon can you get out here |
| 00:44:19 |
Yeah, Chambers is on his way |
| 00:44:22 |
Willie, get this. |
| 00:44:25 |
But he's afraid if she finds out he's gonna |
| 00:44:29 |
You get it? |
| 00:44:34 |
Well, maybe it sounds to you |
| 00:44:37 |
...but l got my reasons. |
| 00:44:41 |
Okay. |
| 00:44:45 |
Willie's gonna bring the papers |
| 00:44:48 |
He's awful suspicious. |
| 00:44:50 |
Willie's a bad hombre |
| 00:44:53 |
Yeah? |
| 00:44:58 |
That's so you'll act right |
| 00:45:04 |
And that's for playing along, Cora. |
| 00:45:07 |
...just the beer garden, |
| 00:45:10 |
All right, Frank. |
| 00:45:17 |
l think that's your friend Willie, |
| 00:45:20 |
...l'm gonna give you |
| 00:45:24 |
Gesundheit. |
| 00:45:43 |
-What gives? |
| 00:45:49 |
All right, Cora, his pockets. |
| 00:45:53 |
-Here it is! |
| 00:45:56 |
-This is it. |
| 00:46:01 |
Photostats! |
| 00:46:03 |
-And the negative. |
| 00:46:07 |
Yeah, but not anymore. |
| 00:46:09 |
Thanks, boys. |
| 00:46:11 |
Come on, l'll show you out. |
| 00:46:17 |
Come on, come on, come on. Out! |
| 00:46:32 |
Well, we did it, didn't we? |
| 00:46:37 |
-That's the last of the Photostats. |
| 00:46:41 |
That isn't the last of the Photostats. |
| 00:46:45 |
-So you got a million of them. |
| 00:46:48 |
You're not foolish enough |
| 00:46:51 |
...just to get even with me. |
| 00:46:53 |
No. No, you didn't |
| 00:46:55 |
Once they made it manslaughter, |
| 00:46:58 |
What's the matter with you, Cora? |
| 00:47:01 |
This! While you were |
| 00:47:04 |
...your friend dropped in outside. |
| 00:47:07 |
So you're an outlaw, |
| 00:47:12 |
l hope your broken-down sweetie |
| 00:47:15 |
...where l'm going to send you! |
| 00:47:28 |
-Just hanging up my clean uniforms, dearie. |
| 00:47:32 |
-What did you think l was doing? |
| 00:47:36 |
Don't worry, when it comes time |
| 00:47:39 |
ln the meantime, just take it easy, because |
| 00:47:54 |
Just taking something |
| 00:47:56 |
-That's nice of you. |
| 00:47:59 |
l didn't think anything. |
| 00:48:00 |
Don't worry, when l'm ready to skip out, |
| 00:48:03 |
Just take it easy, |
| 00:48:10 |
That's the way it kept up all day. |
| 00:48:12 |
Me following her around |
| 00:48:16 |
Her watching me like a hawk, |
| 00:48:20 |
Both of us hating each other |
| 00:48:23 |
Finally, she went up to bed. |
| 00:48:25 |
I went to my room, |
| 00:48:29 |
Then all of a sudden.... |
| 00:48:40 |
-Get away from there or l'll-- |
| 00:48:43 |
Hello? |
| 00:48:45 |
Yellow Cab? |
| 00:48:46 |
We changed our mind. |
| 00:48:49 |
-Or you'll what? |
| 00:48:52 |
Something else, wasn't it? |
| 00:48:55 |
-l've been asleep. |
| 00:48:57 |
-Because l'm not gonna lie to you. |
| 00:49:00 |
You were gonna duck out and hand me over |
| 00:49:03 |
Right back where we started. |
| 00:49:07 |
Not quite, Cora. |
| 00:49:09 |
That other girl... |
| 00:49:11 |
...she didn't mean anything to me. |
| 00:49:14 |
She told me you were going away |
| 00:49:17 |
Why didn't l? l planned to, |
| 00:49:19 |
Why didn't l go away |
| 00:49:23 |
Because we're chained |
| 00:49:25 |
-Don't tell me you love me. |
| 00:49:28 |
Oh, but love |
| 00:49:31 |
Then you hate me? |
| 00:49:33 |
l don't know. |
| 00:49:36 |
But we've got to tell the truth |
| 00:49:39 |
All right, why were you gonna |
| 00:49:43 |
l told you l had something to tell you. |
| 00:49:49 |
Frank... |
| 00:49:51 |
...l wasn't going to Mr. Sackett tonight. |
| 00:49:54 |
l was running away... |
| 00:49:57 |
...for good. |
| 00:49:58 |
So that you |
| 00:50:02 |
Me or.... |
| 00:50:05 |
-Me or.... |
| 00:50:08 |
Oh, no, don't, Frank. |
| 00:50:12 |
We.... |
| 00:50:14 |
We took a life, didn't we, Frank? |
| 00:50:16 |
Well, now we can give one back. |
| 00:50:20 |
...and maybe it'll help square us. |
| 00:50:22 |
Maybe it will. |
| 00:50:24 |
Maybe it'll help. |
| 00:50:27 |
Oh, Frank, l couldn't |
| 00:50:30 |
l couldn't have this baby and then |
| 00:50:36 |
...into that poison gas chamber |
| 00:50:39 |
Was...? |
| 00:50:41 |
Was the baby the only reason? |
| 00:50:45 |
No. |
| 00:50:47 |
Frank. Please, there's one thing |
| 00:50:51 |
No, don't ask me any questions. |
| 00:50:53 |
Just take me down to the beach. |
| 00:50:57 |
And let's be happy again... |
| 00:51:00 |
...just once more. |
| 00:51:01 |
And then l promise that everything will |
| 00:51:05 |
...before we come back. |
| 00:51:08 |
l'll get the car, Cora. |
| 00:51:21 |
Frank. |
| 00:51:23 |
All the hate and revenge has left me... |
| 00:51:26 |
...but is it all out of you? |
| 00:51:28 |
l'm trying to find some way |
| 00:51:33 |
Maybe l know a way. |
| 00:51:36 |
Let's swim out there, way, way out... |
| 00:51:39 |
...until we're so tired that |
| 00:51:43 |
-How is that gonna prove--? |
| 00:52:10 |
This is far enough. |
| 00:52:12 |
-Are you tired? |
| 00:52:16 |
l'm still all right. |
| 00:52:18 |
Frank... |
| 00:52:20 |
...what l wanted to be sure of was... |
| 00:52:22 |
...whether you trust me. |
| 00:52:25 |
lf you don't believe |
| 00:52:30 |
...and if you don't want me to go back |
| 00:52:33 |
...you could swim back by yourself. |
| 00:52:36 |
l'm too tired, |
| 00:52:39 |
Nobody will ever know. |
| 00:52:40 |
Cora, Cora, don't say another word. |
| 00:52:45 |
l'll take you in. |
| 00:53:25 |
Are you sure now? |
| 00:53:28 |
l'm sure. |
| 00:53:39 |
l've been waiting a long time |
| 00:53:42 |
When we get home, Frank, |
| 00:53:46 |
Kisses with dreams in them. |
| 00:53:49 |
Kisses that come from life, |
| 00:53:53 |
l hope l can wait. |
| 00:53:56 |
Darling. |
| 00:54:03 |
Look out! |
| 00:54:04 |
Frank! |
| 00:54:17 |
Cora. |
| 00:54:28 |
This man, Frank Chambers, |
| 00:54:31 |
...first murdered her husband |
| 00:54:34 |
Then Chambers murdered her |
| 00:54:40 |
The jury was out five minutes. |
| 00:54:43 |
The judge said in sentencing me... |
| 00:54:45 |
...that he was giving the same consideration |
| 00:54:49 |
l see. |
| 00:54:51 |
l see. |
| 00:54:53 |
And now, Father... |
| 00:54:54 |
...comes the important thing |
| 00:54:57 |
Do you think she knows? |
| 00:54:59 |
Knows that you didn't kill her? |
| 00:55:02 |
She must know it. |
| 00:55:05 |
But that's the awful part |
| 00:55:08 |
Somehow... |
| 00:55:11 |
...maybe it flashed through her head |
| 00:55:14 |
...that maybe l did do it. |
| 00:55:17 |
Father, do you think she knows |
| 00:55:19 |
We can hope. |
| 00:55:21 |
We got off to a wrong start, |
| 00:55:24 |
...we never got back on the right track. |
| 00:55:26 |
But l didn't kill her. |
| 00:55:29 |
l loved her so much, |
| 00:55:38 |
l just talked to the governor. |
| 00:55:44 |
But, l.... |
| 00:55:46 |
l didn't do it. |
| 00:55:48 |
-l didn't do it, l tell you! |
| 00:55:50 |
All right, suppose you didn't do it. |
| 00:55:53 |
Get me a new trial. l'm not gonna |
| 00:55:56 |
Suppose you got a stay of execution, |
| 00:56:00 |
Then what? |
| 00:56:01 |
Last night they auctioned off the fixtures |
| 00:56:06 |
A man who bought the cash register |
| 00:56:10 |
He brought it to me. |
| 00:56:14 |
Cora wrote it. |
| 00:56:24 |
lt's a very beautiful note, Frank... |
| 00:56:27 |
...written by a girl |
| 00:56:31 |
l imagine it was written |
| 00:56:35 |
A note of farewell, isn't it? |
| 00:56:37 |
She did try and run away that night. |
| 00:56:42 |
And since she had no idea |
| 00:56:46 |
...it therefore has |
| 00:56:49 |
...to convict you of helping her |
| 00:56:54 |
So if you were to leave this room |
| 00:56:57 |
...you'd soon be back here again |
| 00:57:02 |
What's the use? |
| 00:57:07 |
Then.... |
| 00:57:09 |
Then what's gonna happen to me |
| 00:57:13 |
No, laddie, for killing Nick. |
| 00:57:18 |
You know... |
| 00:57:20 |
...there's something about this |
| 00:57:23 |
Well, it's like... |
| 00:57:26 |
...you're expecting... |
| 00:57:27 |
...a letter that you're just crazy |
| 00:57:32 |
...and you hang around |
| 00:57:35 |
...for fear you might not hear him ring. |
| 00:57:38 |
You never realize |
| 00:57:42 |
What's that? |
| 00:57:43 |
Well, he rang twice for Cora... |
| 00:57:46 |
...and now he's ringing twice for me, |
| 00:57:51 |
That's about it. |
| 00:57:53 |
The truth is, you always |
| 00:57:57 |
Even if you're way out |
| 00:58:01 |
Father. |
| 00:58:04 |
You were right. |
| 00:58:06 |
lt all works out. |
| 00:58:07 |
l guess God knows more |
| 00:58:12 |
Somehow or other... |
| 00:58:14 |
...Cora paid for Nick's life with hers. |
| 00:58:17 |
And now l'm going to. |
| 00:58:20 |
Father... |
| 00:58:21 |
...would you send up a prayer |
| 00:58:25 |
And if you could find it in your heart... |
| 00:58:28 |
...make it that we're together, |
| 00:58:39 |
