00:00:00The End
00:00:36The End
00:01:07The End
00:01:43Vincent Lubeck, age 16, possession of firearms. Remanded to Juvenile Hall.
00:01:49Vincent Lubeck, age 17, breaking and entering. Whitmore Reformatory, six months.
00:01:57Vincent Lubeck, age 19, petty theft. Sentenced to city jail, nine months.
00:02:04Vincent Lubeck, age 20, grand theft, auto. Sentenced to county jail, one year.
00:02:11Vincent Lubeck, age 22, armed robbery. Sentenced five to ten years, state penitentiary.
00:02:19Gentlemen, Vincent Lubeck is a hoodlum, an habitual criminal. It is my opinion that he be denied parole.
00:02:26But, Warden, Vincent Lubeck has served his sentence. His record here has been exemplary. And I feel this man should...
00:02:32Ordinarily, Warden, your objection would be sufficient for denial of parole. But in this case, there seems to be extenuating
00:02:38circumstances.
00:02:39The only extenuating circumstance in Vincent Lubeck's case is that he has not killed anybody. Yet.
00:02:45I am in contact with this type of criminal every day. I live with him. The Vincent Lubeck's never changed.
00:02:52But, Warden, this is an institution for correction, not punishment. If we permitted ourselves to act in so prejudiced a
00:02:58manner, we'd be subject to attack from society.
00:03:01Apparently, you do not realize we are not dealing with the old-style gangster anymore. The Vincent Lubeck's are committing
00:03:07the most vicious crime there is.
00:03:08Crime against people. Street attacks, armed robbery, assaults upon women, murder.
00:03:15The hoodlum is our public enemy, number one. Gentlemen, I would like to have you meet Mrs. Lubeck, Vincent's mother.
00:03:22It would make no difference. I'm dealing with brutal facts, not sentiment.
00:03:25I see no reason why we should not see Mrs. Lubeck.
00:03:33Would you please come in, Mrs. Lubeck?
00:03:47Mrs. Lubeck, this is Warden Stevens. These gentlemen are members of the parole board.
00:03:53Mrs. Lubeck, there seems to be some inadvisable about granting parole to your son.
00:04:00Why won't you let him come home?
00:04:05I can only go by Vincent's record, Mrs. Lubeck.
00:04:08Why do you hate my boy?
00:04:10Mrs. Lubeck, I don't hate your son.
00:04:13It's just my opinion that he is not fit to take his place in society.
00:04:17Isn't five years long enough to take from a boy's life?
00:04:22When do you think he will be ready?
00:04:25Ten years? Twenty years?
00:04:27When I'll be dead and there won't be anybody for him to come home to?
00:04:32Mrs. Lubeck, let me ask.
00:04:34Did Vincent ever bring home a paycheck?
00:04:37Did he ever buy you a dress?
00:04:39Did he ever take you anywhere?
00:04:42Dress?
00:04:43Good time.
00:04:46They don't prove anything.
00:04:51You do not know Vincent like me.
00:04:55Ever since he was a little boy, he fights the whole world.
00:05:00Because he wants to be big.
00:05:02I tell him to be big.
00:05:04He must be big inside.
00:05:07Vincent is a plain boy.
00:05:09He don't have the strength to make his dream come true.
00:05:13To dream is not enough.
00:05:17For five years, he's in jail.
00:05:25Now he understands that in this world there is a place for everything.
00:05:31Everything can be sick.
00:05:34Everything can be sick.
00:05:34There must be cotton.
00:05:37Please.
00:05:38Please.
00:05:42Let him come home with me.
00:05:57It's the decision of this board that Vincent Lubeck be granted parole.
00:06:06It's my duty as warden to apprise you of the conditions of your parole.
00:06:10You will report monthly to your parole officer.
00:06:12You shall...
00:06:13Yeah, I know.
00:06:14Notify him of any change of address and get a job within 60 days.
00:06:17Yes, you would be familiar with parole procedure.
00:06:20Forgot for the moment, I was speaking to Vincent Lubeck.
00:06:24Will that be all?
00:06:26Lubeck, I want you to know that I objected to your parole.
00:06:29If it hadn't been for your mother, you'd serve your full sentence.
00:06:32Come with me.
00:07:00Lubeck, I've seen a lot of hoodlums walked out of here.
00:07:03Then come back and leave again through this door.
00:07:08Open it.
00:07:27Keep thinking about this, Lubeck.
00:07:31Remember, there are no paroles once you pass this door.
00:07:58Vincent.
00:07:59So long.
00:08:00Oh, Vincent.
00:08:03Let me say hello to my brother.
00:08:08What's the matter, Johnny?
00:08:09No hello?
00:08:10Look, Vince.
00:08:11Let's get this straight.
00:08:13I didn't come for you.
00:08:14I drove Mama here.
00:08:17Johnny.
00:08:30You mean, Johnny owns this?
00:08:33Three years now.
00:08:35Lubeck's service.
00:08:37Where do you get the door to buy it?
00:08:40Proper's insurance.
00:08:42If he was here, Vincent, he would be a very happy man.
00:08:45How much was there?
00:08:48It was only a small policy.
00:08:52Johnny used his share for a down payment on the station.
00:08:55What about the rest?
00:08:57Lawyer.
00:08:59Johnny bought all this.
00:09:10Take a breath, Vincent.
00:09:14Go ahead.
00:09:15Smell.
00:09:16You can smell fresh air here.
00:09:18Not like where we used to live by the city dump.
00:09:21Every time the wind changed.
00:09:23My, the smell.
00:09:25And Papa running around all day yelling, keep the windows closed.
00:09:28Keep the windows.
00:09:29Stop it, Ma.
00:09:32Keep the windows closed.
00:09:33What was the use?
00:09:34The stink came through them anyhow.
00:09:37Into all the corners, into your lungs, your skin.
00:09:40Even if you took a bath every day, the stink would stink.
00:09:44Our playground, where we picked up a few pieces of junk to get spending money.
00:09:48A rotten stink.
00:09:52Even now, we're not too far away from it.
00:09:56Yeah, but you wait.
00:09:58I got ideas.
00:10:00I'll get plenty of money.
00:10:02Yeah, dough.
00:10:03That's the only thing that'll ever cover up the stink of the city dump.
00:10:06Vincent.
00:10:08You mustn't talk like that.
00:10:10You've got a whole new life to look ahead to.
00:10:12Look at Johnny.
00:10:13Yeah, grease monkey.
00:10:15I've got to wait till Papa died till we get enough money to make a down payment on a gas
00:10:18station.
00:10:19Vincent.
00:10:22Ma, the Bible gives you 70 years to live.
00:10:24The insurance companies tell you it's 65.
00:10:27The big companies tell you after 40 you can't make a buck.
00:10:31Well, I haven't got far to go.
00:10:33When you die, you're a long time dead.
00:10:36And when you are in jail, are you alive?
00:10:40You're alive.
00:10:41You're alive.
00:10:43You're alive.
00:10:46Hello, Mama.
00:10:48Vincent, you remember Rosa.
00:10:51Johnny's girl.
00:10:52Welcome home, Vincent.
00:10:54Hello, Rosa.
00:10:58Johnny, you promised me.
00:11:02Then suppose you forget what I said.
00:11:05Yeah, sure.
00:11:06This is how it should be.
00:11:08Brothers should always stick together.
00:11:11Well, what are we waiting for?
00:11:13Come, Rosa.
00:11:14You'll help with supper.
00:11:15All right.
00:11:17Johnny, tell Vincent about the station.
00:11:23It's Mom's idea, Vince.
00:11:28You mean I'm supposed to work in the gas station?
00:11:30You had to tell the parole board you had a job.
00:11:33Yeah, that's right.
00:11:34I forgot.
00:11:35That is not a bad idea.
00:11:37With you and the station, we could stay open longer.
00:11:39Pump more gas.
00:11:40And there are a few things I like to do.
00:11:42Put in a wash rack.
00:11:45Mom was in such a hurry this morning,
00:11:46I didn't get a chance to clean the dirt
00:11:48from under my fingernails.
00:11:49Then I like to...
00:11:50Your nails do get dirty, don't they, Johnny?
00:11:53Yeah, Vince, they do.
00:11:55But this kind of dirt you can wash off.
00:12:10Like it?
00:12:12I'm crazy about it.
00:12:14It's good work, Vince.
00:12:15Out in the open all day, meeting different people.
00:12:18And best of all, you're your own boss.
00:12:20Nobody gives any orders around here.
00:12:22What would you give them to?
00:12:23The gas pump?
00:12:24I ain't nagging any.
00:12:33Hey, Vince, the boss doesn't count clockwise in that wheel.
00:12:39Why don't you give the jerk who wants it a buck
00:12:40and let him do it himself?
00:12:41If I had the time, I could probably do a better job than you.
00:12:47Tell me, what keeps you so busy?
00:12:49My job?
00:12:50What about getting back to yours?
00:12:52I need my car.
00:12:55Yours?
00:12:57Heaven really must be helping the working girl these days.
00:13:00Not Heaven.
00:13:00The bank.
00:13:01The bank?
00:13:02And the manager's secretary.
00:13:06On a secretary's salary?
00:13:08I take home samples.
00:13:10That's an interesting hobby.
00:13:12Got any others?
00:13:13Yes.
00:13:14I read books.
00:13:22Hey, Vince.
00:13:23Want to eat first?
00:13:24Tony's down the street is pretty good.
00:13:26No, I'll get something later.
00:13:27Okay, then I'll go grab a sandwich.
00:13:47Come on, Bluebeck.
00:13:49Come on, Bluebeck.
00:13:51I mean your eyes.
00:13:53You seem to have fallen out of your head.
00:13:56Don't get too ambitious.
00:13:58That gal's out of your class.
00:14:00That's what I like about you cops.
00:14:02Always taking the pleasures out of life.
00:14:04How long have you been staked out here?
00:14:05Long enough to see you do the first bit of honest work in your life.
00:14:09Didn't lose any time checking up on me, did you, Sergeant?
00:14:12Lieutenant.
00:14:14Hailing you for that stick-up five years ago got me a promotion.
00:14:16Well, hanging around here is not going to make you capture.
00:14:19I'd rather make it some other way.
00:14:20Cut out the double talk, Birdick.
00:14:22You're a pinch-crazy.
00:14:23There's too many guys doing time because they forgot you're a cop.
00:14:26Not me. I wasn't born yesterday.
00:14:28I'm not forgetting you owe me five years of my life.
00:14:31You cheap hood.
00:14:33Always looking for a fall guy and never realizing you're it.
00:14:37Lieutenant.
00:14:38A beef at element 25th.
00:14:41I don't owe you a thing, Lubeck.
00:14:43But if you think I do, try to collect.
00:14:47I'd like to pay you off once and for all.
00:15:05What do you want?
00:15:06Take a dollar's worth of that gas.
00:15:20Better watch what you're doing.
00:15:22I only asked for a dollar's worth and I won't pay one cent more.
00:15:25Now look what you've done.
00:15:27You ruined the paint.
00:15:29Get a rack and wipe it off.
00:15:30Quickly.
00:15:31Well, what are you waiting for?
00:15:34You ruined that paint and I won't pay you for the gas.
00:15:38Try and collect.
00:15:41Hey, hey, stop that! Cut it up!
00:15:43You heavy, stop it!
00:15:46Competition is too tough and I don't find customers in the street.
00:15:49That old man will never come back again.
00:15:51I'm trying to run a business.
00:15:52This isn't kid stuff anymore.
00:16:00No, it's no use, Rosie.
00:16:01You can't even talk to him.
00:16:03Try to help him and he blows his top.
00:16:04It will work out.
00:16:05Blow your voice, Johnny.
00:16:07You don't want to upset Mama.
00:16:11You must be patient.
00:16:13After all, it's his first day and he's been away five years.
00:16:16Well, I'm meeting him more than halfway.
00:16:18But it's not only that.
00:16:20Tony, the restaurant man told me the police came into the station today.
00:16:23What do they want?
00:16:25I don't know.
00:16:25I wasn't there.
00:16:26But it's no good in a neighborhood like that.
00:16:28Johnny, he's your brother.
00:16:30If you won't give him a chance, who will?
00:16:32All right, the cops coming into the station can't be helped.
00:16:35But that stuff he pulled today.
00:16:37Maybe if I spoke to him.
00:16:38It's no use.
00:16:39He won't listen.
00:16:40Even Mama can't straighten him out.
00:16:42I think I understand what's troubling him, Johnny.
00:16:46A woman's touch?
00:16:48Okay, go ahead.
00:16:49See if you can put some sense into his head.
00:16:50But watch out, he doesn't bite yours off.
00:16:52Johnny.
00:16:54Where did he go?
00:16:56Probably up to the roof.
00:16:58When we were kids, he always ran up to the roof.
00:17:01So he liked to look down at the people.
00:17:02They looked so small.
00:17:04Made them feel good.
00:17:09Johnny.
00:17:17Caged.
00:17:30Vincent, I want to talk to you.
00:17:32Look, Rosa, one lecture's enough for tonight.
00:17:44I only want a help.
00:17:46And so does Johnny.
00:17:49I don't need his help.
00:17:50What does Johnny think he's got?
00:17:52Grease a car, pump some gas.
00:17:54Your nose filled with the stink of automobiles.
00:17:56And on top of that, give them service.
00:17:58Not for me.
00:18:00Is it so difficult to adjust yourself, Vincent?
00:18:04I came out just like I went in, only smarter.
00:18:07I learned a few things.
00:18:09It's better to forget those things.
00:18:11Start with new plans.
00:18:13Forget what?
00:18:14When I was behind bars thinking about the day when I'd get out?
00:18:16When life wouldn't be planned for me and I could walk around just like anybody else?
00:18:20When you get out, they won't let you forget.
00:18:21They're still pointing a finger at you or something different.
00:18:24Why don't you stop yelling?
00:18:26I'm an ex-con.
00:18:27What are you going to do about it?
00:18:29The only finger pointing at you is your own.
00:18:32Don't hand me that.
00:18:33Make a mistake once and you're dead.
00:18:35The cops are always after you.
00:18:36People don't want you around.
00:18:37Everybody wants to play warden.
00:18:39Keep them locked up.
00:18:40Keep them pendid.
00:18:40Don't let them free.
00:18:41Humans, animals, birds, caves.
00:19:07What was the use of that, Vincent?
00:19:10What did it accomplish?
00:19:12If only you'd stop to think, to plan your life.
00:19:17You know all the answers, don't you?
00:19:19Got everything planned.
00:19:21Not just what you want and where you're going.
00:19:23Well, what if it explodes in your face?
00:19:25I know just what I want.
00:19:26That could never happen.
00:19:29Sure, you planned it.
00:19:30Everything just so.
00:19:31One and one making two.
00:19:33What if something comes along you never figured on?
00:19:36One and one don't add up any longer.
00:19:39For instance, something like this.
00:19:45Just wait, stop.
00:19:46Please.
00:20:04Hello, Eileen.
00:20:06Say, you keep looking like them, I bet the bank's gonna start charging admission.
00:20:09Oh, they do.
00:20:10Only the depositors don't know about it.
00:20:12Uh, give me five. I've just 30 minutes to make it to our head office.
00:20:31Put your money away. It's on me.
00:20:34Looks like they're sending the main asset down to the downtown branch.
00:20:37Only for the afternoon. There's a bank manager's meeting.
00:20:41Say, how about a passenger?
00:20:43I'm going down to City Hall on some business. It's only a couple of blocks from where you're going.
00:20:46All right. Hop in.
00:20:56Cigarette?
00:20:56No, thanks. I don't smoke.
00:21:05What do you do for entertainment? Looking at money all day must get boring.
00:21:08Can you think of a better pastime?
00:21:11Yeah, spending it.
00:21:13These guys have sorted away in the bank haven't got the right idea.
00:21:16Me, I can think of better things to do with dough.
00:21:18For instance?
00:21:20Trade it for real living.
00:21:22These old guys sitting in exclusive clubs have got it and want to keep it.
00:21:26But I never heard of anybody coming back from down there saying he was having a good time.
00:21:31There's wine I've never tasted. Music I've never heard.
00:21:33And women.
00:21:35And women. Only there I'm even more particular.
00:21:39It's like a kid working at a candy factory.
00:21:42First he tastes everything that comes along.
00:21:44After a while the only thing he touches is the silver wrapped stuff.
00:21:48Then he's sick of that and he looks for something real special.
00:21:51Like you.
00:21:54And when he does find it?
00:21:57Oh, he's extra careful.
00:21:59Babies it so it'll last.
00:22:01How about some night this week?
00:22:03Thursday? It's my day off.
00:22:05Any day but that.
00:22:06We're usually busy preparing our Federal Reserve deposits for shipment.
00:22:09And the pickup service doesn't like to be kept waiting.
00:22:12Why? What's the hurry?
00:22:14They carry a lot of money and they're cautious about staying in one place too long.
00:22:18Sounds like a junior edition of the Mint.
00:22:19I guess if I had that kind of money I wouldn't stay in one place too long either.
00:22:33Marty.
00:22:34Well, well, the big man.
00:22:36I see they made you a member of the club.
00:22:39When did you fall out?
00:22:41Last month.
00:22:42This was my first visit.
00:22:44You're looking prosperous. What are you doing?
00:22:47Legitimately selling used cars.
00:22:49You?
00:22:50Pumping gas at my brother's station, 4th and Boston.
00:22:53I mean, what do you got going for you?
00:22:55Keep it shady.
00:22:57We're not fixed to go.
00:22:59I'll see you next month.
00:23:00Wait a minute, Marty.
00:23:02I got something that'll be...
00:23:03No, I'm not interested.
00:23:05All right.
00:23:07But if it happened to somebody who is interested in half a million, let me know.
00:23:14I've been listening to your line for five years.
00:23:17Another couple of hours won't make any difference.
00:23:20I'll meet you tonight at the gas station.
00:23:33I'm telling you, I can have the whole thing figured out in no time.
00:23:36An armored car?
00:23:37You're nuts.
00:23:39There's only one guy who was big enough to figure a deal like this.
00:23:42Razov.
00:23:43And he's doing 20.
00:23:45Right.
00:23:46But you forget, I was his cellmate.
00:23:48And I did a lot of listening in five years.
00:23:55My brother Johnny.
00:23:56Marty Connell, a friend of mine.
00:23:58Hey Vince, the pot's house just closed.
00:23:59And I may have to chase all over town to get what we need.
00:24:02You check with Rose at Acme Wrecking?
00:24:04Yeah.
00:24:04I caught her just before she left.
00:24:06No luck.
00:24:08Take care of everything when I'm gone, will you?
00:24:09Yeah.
00:24:13Your brother doesn't seem to like your friends.
00:24:16He doesn't like me.
00:24:19How about it, Marty?
00:24:22If there's a half a million,
00:24:26it speaks for itself.
00:24:28Now you're talking.
00:24:30Johnny!
00:24:31Johnny!
00:24:34Hello, Rosa.
00:24:36Where's Johnny?
00:24:37Went to get some parts.
00:24:39Didn't you know?
00:24:39He said he checked with you.
00:24:41He did.
00:24:43I came down to tell him where he could get them.
00:24:46Why didn't you phone?
00:24:49Well, I...
00:24:51I thought I might catch him before he left.
00:24:54Yeah, too bad you didn't.
00:24:56You look upset.
00:24:58What's the matter when your little plans go wrong?
00:25:02You knew Johnny wasn't gonna be here.
00:25:12Why did you have to kiss me?
00:25:14I thought you knew all the answers.
00:25:17One on one doesn't make two, does it, Rosa?
00:25:38Well, you've had eight weeks to play with this thing.
00:25:41And it's been cost and dough.
00:25:43Can you answer a few questions now?
00:25:45Sure.
00:25:46Well, the mastermind is going to talk.
00:25:50Okay?
00:25:52Where does it happen?
00:25:54We'll take it in front of the bank.
00:25:55Why there?
00:25:56It's a busy street.
00:25:57Too many people.
00:25:58The only place it makes a regular scheduled stop.
00:26:00I still think we ought to take it off between stops.
00:26:03We'd have more time for a getaway.
00:26:05Less interference.
00:26:06Marty, those armored cars are like tanks when they're closed up.
00:26:09With that bulletproof glass and steel plates, the crew can hold off an army.
00:26:12How many men do you think we'll need?
00:26:14About six.
00:26:15Now for the jackpot question.
00:26:17When?
00:26:19Yeah, I'll let you know that when I figured out one more little to tell.
00:26:22What do you mean?
00:26:23After all this, you still won't know when we're going?
00:26:26Marty, ten minutes after we take that armored car, the police left the entire area bottled up.
00:26:30Getting through that blockade is a little to tell.
00:26:33I'll be a good little boy. Let me have the keys to the car.
00:26:37Taking that bank dame out again?
00:26:40Marty, this is business.
00:26:56I'll be right back.
00:27:05I'll be right back.
00:27:09I'll be right back.
00:27:11At this late hour.
00:27:14Never what my neighbors would think.
00:27:15I have considered.
00:27:17It shouldn't be up this late thinking.
00:27:19How about a nightcap?
00:27:20Let's make it another night.
00:27:22Thanks for a wonderful evening.
00:27:24Good night.
00:27:57I'll be right back.
00:27:58I'm ready to be here.
00:28:00And I'll be right back.
00:28:01I'll be right back.
00:28:03I'll be right back.
00:28:05I'll be right back.
00:28:10Come on, let's go up on the roof. No one will see us up there.
00:28:24Vincent, I can't go on this way.
00:28:28Look, Roger, we've been through this all before.
00:28:31It's two months. How much longer do you think I can keep this up?
00:28:36Johnny doesn't understand why I've been avoiding him.
00:28:39Why I've been so cool.
00:28:43And Mama.
00:28:44What are you dragging her in for? This is between us.
00:28:47No, it isn't. There's Johnny.
00:28:49It's not fair to him. We must tell him.
00:28:53Tell him what? That I've stolen his girl and she belong to me?
00:28:57Oh, you like that, I'll bet.
00:28:59Can't we go away? Get married? Live someplace where we're not known?
00:29:05I could get a job.
00:29:06I can't go anywhere, you know that.
00:29:09If the parole board doesn't see my kisser once a month, I'll lose my good standing in the community.
00:29:14And look, Rosa, about this marriage business, you've got the wrong idea.
00:29:19You're Johnny's girl.
00:29:21Next time he calls, answer. Say hello.
00:29:24I haven't even the right to say hello.
00:29:28Even if he wanted to, I couldn't marry him.
00:29:33Just tell Johnny you took time out on a little plan that didn't work out.
00:29:57Please, come in.
00:30:02Sit down.
00:30:10You remember me?
00:30:12Yes, Mrs. Lubbeck.
00:30:13You were Vincent's mother.
00:30:15You heard about Rosa?
00:30:17Yes, and I'm very sorry.
00:30:19As a matter of fact, I was just going through a copy of the autopsy report.
00:30:24Autopsy?
00:30:24What is that?
00:30:28Well, Mrs. Lubbeck, when somebody dies, as Rosa did, the police have to make an examination.
00:30:35When you called me, I thought I'd take a look through the report.
00:30:39Since Rosa has no next to Ken, I've secured permission for you to hold her funeral.
00:30:43I thank you very much, Mrs. Lubbeck.
00:30:47Rosa was Johnny's girl, wasn't she?
00:30:50Yes.
00:30:51They were going to get married.
00:30:54It's too bad they didn't.
00:30:55Maybe this wouldn't have happened.
00:30:58What do you mean?
00:31:08Autopsy, report, Rosa chairmark.
00:31:12Now, this is what I mean, Mrs. Lubbeck.
00:31:17Autopsy, findings, revealed, deceased, was two months pregnant.
00:31:28Not Johnny.
00:31:32She loved Rosa too much.
00:31:58Why don't you eat, Johnny?
00:32:03I can't understand it.
00:32:05Why did you do it?
00:32:07You really don't know it, Johnny.
00:32:09I hadn't spoken to her for weeks.
00:32:11She wouldn't even talk to me on the telephone.
00:32:15I only knew why she did it.
00:32:17Because she was nuts.
00:32:19Any damn who'd jump off her roof must be nuts.
00:32:22Johnny.
00:32:24Johnny.
00:32:30Nothing but trouble since you came home.
00:32:33I suppose I'm to blame for Rosa.
00:32:35Nobody said that, Vincent.
00:32:52Thanks for taking care of everything, Mr. Breckenridge.
00:32:54Not at all.
00:32:56It's too bad.
00:32:57Rosa was a beautiful girl.
00:32:59How was Johnny?
00:33:00I see he's not around today.
00:33:02Yeah, he's taking it pretty hard.
00:33:04He'll get over it.
00:33:05Time is a great healer.
00:33:08By the way, how far is it out to the cemetery?
00:33:11My mother wants me to drive her there next week.
00:33:13Exactly 11 miles from here.
00:33:15That far?
00:33:16Didn't take us long to get out there.
00:33:18We never drive fast.
00:33:19But we do have the courtesy of the road.
00:33:21The police wave us right through.
00:33:24Sergeant, it's in my account.
00:33:25Fine.
00:33:26Good night.
00:33:27Good night.
00:33:32Police discovered the body of an unidentified man about 65, near 5th and Broadway late last night.
00:33:37The body now in the city morgue will be buried in Pottersfield unless claimed within 48 hours.
00:33:42Well, Uncle John is dead.
00:33:44Let's get moving.
00:33:48Christie, you will become Miss Vanguard.
00:33:52Eddie, you're her attorney.
00:33:56You play chauffeur.
00:33:57Right.
00:33:57Yeah, and lay off the booze.
00:33:59We want this to look good.
00:34:07Yes, it's Uncle John.
00:34:10I've arranged for the removal of the body with the Breckenridge Mortuary.
00:34:15Come on, my dear.
00:34:16You mustn't be so distraught.
00:34:19Miss Vanguard was very fond of her Uncle John.
00:34:23Of course, her position would preclude any publicity.
00:34:25Of course.
00:34:26Uncle John's eccentricities, his death in the street like a common derelict.
00:34:31You understand?
00:34:32Discretion is synonymous with the Breckenridge Mortuary.
00:34:35The Breckenridge Mortuary will be small, just a family.
00:34:38But we shall want the very best.
00:34:40And, of course, Uncle John's wish.
00:34:43That he be interred at the precise moment of his birth.
00:34:47The Breckenridge Mortuary provides itself on fulfilling the slightest wish.
00:34:52Of all?
00:34:53Yes.
00:35:58Just like clockwork.
00:36:00Timed right on the nose.
00:36:01If we'd been ready, we could have taken it right then.
00:36:03Yeah, they'd have taken us right with it.
00:36:06One little hole is big enough for all of us to get buried in.
00:36:09Well, where is it, Vince?
00:36:10The bank door.
00:36:11Somebody will have to be there just in case the bank guard gets ambitious.
00:36:15Yeah.
00:36:16You're right.
00:36:18Who are we going to put there?
00:36:20You.
00:36:22Nice.
00:36:23Right in the coffin corner.
00:36:26Where are you going to be?
00:36:28As I've always said, keep one man you can positively depend on and reserve,
00:36:32just in case anything goes wrong.
00:36:36I'm the only man I can depend on.
00:36:39I'll be right here in front of the gas station.
00:36:41And on this day, we are gathered in sorrow,
00:36:44to pay a final tribute to one whose presence on this earth
00:36:48brought happiness to many hearts.
00:36:51To those who knew him best, John, uh, John C. Vanguard was a man of many facets.
00:36:59To his niece, he was the essence of kindness and love,
00:37:06a never-failing tower of strength.
00:37:09To his associates and employees, he was a fair-minded, open-handed man.
00:37:16His many good deeds had endured him to all, as Uncle John.
00:37:22None were ever turned away by him.
00:37:24His charities were legion.
00:37:26To those in need, he was truly a friend.
00:37:29For John C. Vanguard asked only of life to be of aid to his fellow men.
00:37:34And so we say farewell to this beloved man,
00:37:37whose memory will remain evergreen in our hearts.
00:38:05No one had no guarantee.
00:38:06отк Toni, why are you eating your heart?
00:38:07Where'd you come back for?
00:38:08I told you I could take care of everything.
00:38:10I'd come back to get some money.
00:38:11So what are you so jumpy about?
00:38:13Maybe you need a day off worse than I do.
00:38:26Maybe we've both been working too hard.
00:38:28The way we jump at each other.
00:38:30Yeah, forget it. Don't pick up Mom.
00:38:32She'll be waiting for you.
00:38:33Right.
00:38:42I'm sorry.
00:38:56Hey Vince, isn't that Marty Connell across the street?
00:38:59Yes, so what?
00:39:00Vince, there's something phony going on.
00:39:02I just saw Marty nod to those two guards.
00:39:05Something tells me he's no deposit.
00:39:07I'm going to call the police.
00:39:14Get away from that phone.
00:39:16Drop it.
00:39:20That armored truck.
00:39:22Vince, you're out of your mind.
00:39:23Put down that phone on that kitten, Johnny.
00:39:27Vince, don't.
00:39:28Get back, Johnny, get back.
00:39:30You can't do it, Vince.
00:39:31It'll kill Mama.
00:39:33Vince, how can I make you see it's all wrong?
00:39:35You can't.
00:39:36I've got a beat now.
00:40:03I've got a beat now.
00:40:23Get away from that door.
00:40:23Put them up.
00:40:25Get away from that door.
00:40:34Get away from that door.
00:41:23Where's your coat?
00:41:24I looked at the station.
00:41:25There was no time to get it.
00:41:48No, keep those reporters outside.
00:41:50We'll have a statement for them as soon as we know of something.
00:41:52I want the blockade airtight.
00:41:54Attention all cars.
00:41:56Two men jumped into getaway cab.
00:41:57Both are described as being of average height.
00:41:59They are armed and dangerous.
00:42:01Take no chances.
00:42:02Shoot to kill.
00:42:19Yes, sir.
00:42:20He's right here.
00:42:21The commissioner.
00:42:25Yes, commissioner.
00:42:27Every available man's on the job.
00:42:28Plan B went into full effect just two minutes after I got the report.
00:42:33Getaway car is somewhere inside the blockade.
00:42:53Patrol, guard.
00:42:56Remember, you missed that guard.
00:43:04The trouble, officer.
00:43:06Sorry, we have orders to stop all traffic.
00:43:08Well, this is a funeral.
00:43:09Surely you don't intend to delay us.
00:43:11Sorry, those are our orders.
00:43:12Nothing goes through.
00:43:13Certainly, your orders don't apply to the dead.
00:43:17Well, I guess I could call in and find out.
00:43:20Is that necessary?
00:43:22I have no authority to let you through.
00:43:24You'll just be patient.
00:43:25I'll try and get you a clearance.
00:43:34Stop coming.
00:44:01I'll try and get you a clearance.
00:44:10Right.
00:44:11Okay.
00:44:12Sorry to have caused you this delay.
00:44:13You folks can go ahead now.
00:44:15Thank you very much, officer.
00:44:41Check on that blockade, Smet.
00:44:42I don't care if traffic's tied up for the rest of the day.
00:44:44Nothing goes through.
00:44:45Okay, Lieutenant.
00:44:53Schmidt speaking for Lieutenant Burdick.
00:44:55Catch anything in that net?
00:44:56Yeah, well, I have a note right here.
00:44:58Funeral from Breckenridge Mortuary.
00:45:00Hearse and two limousines.
00:45:01Just went through a few minutes ago en route to White Cedar Cemetery.
00:45:05Okay.
00:45:09I'll help all you fellows go down and take a look through the mug racks.
00:45:12You might be able to identify that cab driver.
00:45:14They're holding it down, Lieutenant.
00:45:16The only thing that went through is a hearse and two limousines from the Breckenridge Mortuary.
00:45:19Okay, Smet.
00:45:22Breckenridge.
00:45:31Mr. Breckenridge?
00:45:32Yes.
00:45:33Police.
00:45:35The funeral is left here a short while ago.
00:45:37I want some information.
00:45:38Is there anything wrong?
00:45:39That's what I'm trying to find out.
00:45:41Was there anything out of the ordinary about that funeral?
00:45:44There was.
00:45:46But I hardly see how that concerns the police.
00:45:48Listen, Mr. Breckenridge.
00:45:50This is not morbid curiosity on my part.
00:45:52There are two dead men out on that street.
00:45:54That funeral procession must have passed a moment before they were killed.
00:45:58Come on.
00:45:59Quit hedging.
00:45:59I want the details.
00:46:00Very well.
00:46:02There was the unusual request of the deceased that he be interred at the precise moment of his birth.
00:46:081101.
00:46:09There was.
00:46:10How many people were there?
00:46:11Only the family were present.
00:46:13Three.
00:46:15Two cars?
00:46:16Oh, no.
00:46:18They used only one.
00:46:19Their own.
00:46:37The last thing I saw was Tony and John laying there in front of the bank.
00:46:41Don't you think this was going to be a picnic?
00:46:43This isn't Christmas and those guards were on Santa Claus.
00:46:46All right.
00:46:47Skip the nursery rhymes and cut up that dough.
00:46:49There's your end, Christy.
00:46:51That's not enough.
00:46:53I stuck my neck out as far as anyone.
00:46:55I'm entitled to an even cut.
00:46:57Marty?
00:46:58She's right, Vince.
00:46:59If anything had gone wrong, she'd take the rap the same as any of us.
00:47:02If anybody gets more, it should be me.
00:47:03It was my job.
00:47:04But look.
00:47:05There were eight of us when we started.
00:47:07There's only six now.
00:47:09She gets the same as any of us.
00:47:12That's like giving you a double share, Marty.
00:47:14I think your arithmetic's a little off.
00:47:17How about it, fellas?
00:47:18You want to kick in 25 grand a piece just to make little Christy happy?
00:47:22Well, what's a few thousand more or less?
00:47:26Sure, it should act with me.
00:47:27And it's okay with Mickey, too.
00:47:29How about you, Vince?
00:47:30Not me.
00:47:31I planned this thing and got you through okay.
00:47:34Now you're on your own.
00:47:35All right, Vince.
00:47:37Keep it.
00:47:37But I've got news for you.
00:47:39I'm not going to be happy.
00:47:45The streets are crawling with patrol cars.
00:47:48Did you get rid of the car?
00:47:49Yeah, yeah.
00:47:50Let me see that sheet.
00:47:51There's your end on the table.
00:47:58I got a bigger headline here, Vince.
00:48:09Let's get out of here.
00:48:12Eddie, let's put the money in a suitcase.
00:48:14Right, Marty.
00:48:14Mickey, you get Marty's car.
00:48:15Okay, Christy.
00:48:59I didn't expect you, Vincent.
00:49:01Why did you come here?
00:49:03You invited me for a nightcap, baby.
00:49:06Remember?
00:49:07You're being presumptuous.
00:49:09That doesn't give you any priorities on my present or future.
00:49:12I think you'd better leave.
00:49:15What's the matter?
00:49:16Are you getting tired of my company?
00:49:18I intend to stay here for a few days.
00:49:21Harboring a fugitive isn't my idea of companionship.
00:49:24Get out of my bedroom.
00:49:29If you don't leave, I'll call the police.
00:49:31Don't forget to tell them where I got the information about the money in the armored car.
00:49:36You handle the truth carelessly, don't you, Vincent?
00:49:40That's what I like about you.
00:49:41Class.
00:49:43Never come right out and call a man a liar.
00:49:48Relax.
00:49:48I'm only going to be here for a couple of days.
00:49:54You got any cigarettes?
00:49:55I left mine at the gas station in my jacket.
00:49:57I know.
00:49:57You were in a hurry.
00:50:05There are no cigarettes here.
00:50:08Vincent, you forgot.
00:50:09I don't smoke.
00:50:15Don't get any ideas.
00:50:17Get out.
00:50:23Just a moment.
00:50:28Forget this address.
00:50:31I never intended remembering it.
00:50:52Give me that.
00:51:02Check this map.
00:51:02Go for it.
00:51:05You can grab it.
00:51:05I'm in one of those.
00:51:05I'm in one of those.
00:51:06You have to go for your bed.
00:51:06I'm in one of those.
00:51:08And black people.
00:51:08You have to go for the next� meant to go.
00:51:08You have to go for it.
00:51:08You have to go for it.
00:51:09You have to go for it.
00:51:13I'll go for it.
00:51:16See.
00:51:36No, no, I guess I was mistaken in the headlights on our car projecting one of these gas-pump shadows
00:51:42on that door as we drove by hanging around this neighborhood's making the C-things.
00:51:46No. No, I guess I was mistaken.
00:51:46How about it, Lieutenant? Can we check in? My wife is going to let me know she's a wife.
00:51:53Okay, let's see.
00:52:02Lubeck, we know you're inside. Come on out, Lubeck, with your hands up.
00:52:19Get that on the air!
00:52:35KWK to all cars. This is hot.
00:52:37Vincent Lubeck, heading south on 5th Street, driving stolen patrol car 97.
00:52:42He may be armed. Shoot to kill.
00:52:47Lieutenant, you hooked in from here.
00:52:51Lubeck?
00:52:54Lubeck, this is Lieutenant Burdick speaking. This is the Box Gore.
00:52:58Marty Connell, dead.
00:53:00Eddie Brighton, dead.
00:53:03Mickey Sessions, in the hospital.
00:53:05Perry Hill, in jail.
00:53:08Christy Lang, dying.
00:53:10You haven't a chance, Lubeck.
00:53:12It's just a matter of time.
00:53:15Lubeck.
00:53:28They're on him.
00:53:30Where?
00:53:33Harper Street.
00:53:52Johnny?
00:53:54It's me, Ma.
00:54:03Ma.
00:54:08It's too late, Vincent.
00:54:11It's too late.
00:54:15What can Mama do?
00:54:19Go to the electric chair for you?
00:54:22Don't say that, Ma.
00:54:25Should I tell lies for you again?
00:54:28Say that you are a good boy, that you didn't mean it?
00:54:33Who should I tell?
00:54:36Who should I tell?
00:54:36The man laying dead by the bank?
00:54:40Rosa, who you made ashamed?
00:54:43Papa, whose heart you broke?
00:54:47Can they hear me?
00:54:51It's too late, Vincent.
00:54:54It's too late.
00:54:55Shut up, Ma.
00:54:56Shut up.
00:54:58Shut up.
00:54:59I should have shut up a long time ago.
00:55:03But no, I thought my heart was big enough for both of us.
00:55:08I was blind.
00:55:12I always stuck up for you.
00:55:15No one could tell me you was no good.
00:55:18No matter what they told me, I didn't believe.
00:55:24Every time you got in trouble, I worked, I borrowed, I go to the lawyers, the warrant healers, begging, crying
00:55:35to get you out of jail.
00:55:38What did you want me to do?
00:55:39I never had a chance.
00:55:41I had to look for some way out.
00:55:42I wasn't going to let them kick me around.
00:55:45So you got the gun.
00:55:48But that wasn't the only way you killed it.
00:55:52You took your papa's name and burnt a number in his heart.
00:55:59One, nine, nine, four, three, six.
00:56:06Every time I wrote a letter, Vincent Lubeck.
00:56:12One, nine, nine, four, three, six.
00:56:19I should let you rot in jail.
00:56:27At least Rosa wouldn't have thrown herself off the roof.
00:56:37What did you want from her?
00:56:39She meant nothing to you.
00:56:43But because she belonged to your brother, you had to take her.
00:56:48And she died with your baby, unborn.
00:56:55Ma, I didn't know.
00:56:57And if you had, would you have cared?
00:57:01Whose love?
00:57:04All the time you were yelling about the smells from the city dump.
00:57:10You are the smell.
00:57:13You are the stink.
00:57:16Ma.
00:57:33And so, now you cry, my son, when it is too late for tears.
00:57:47You should have cried a long time ago and washed that poison out of your heart.
00:58:04And she's the same with you for tears.
00:58:06And so, now you are...
00:58:07You are the same.
00:58:08What?
00:58:09You are the same.
00:58:11You are the same.
00:58:16You're the same.
00:58:20A long time.
00:58:28This is so, now I've been on the calendar for you.
00:58:29I've got to get your pills.
00:58:41Come on.
00:58:55Johnny.
00:58:59Mama's dead.
00:59:01Yeah.
00:59:02She's dead.
00:59:04Nothing could stop her from loving you but death.
00:59:07Well, now she's dead.
00:59:09And you killed her.
00:59:10Just like you killed Papa and Rosa.
00:59:13Johnny, I never had nothing to do with Rosa.
00:59:15Liar.
00:59:16You never had anything of your own.
00:59:18Everything you got, you had to steal.
00:59:20And what you stole, you could never keep.
00:59:23Get going.
00:59:24Johnny.
00:59:25Where?
00:59:25Where are we going?
00:59:27The city dump.
00:59:28That's where we belong.
00:59:30That's all we're fit for.
00:59:31No, Johnny.
00:59:32I'll do anything but...
00:59:33There's nothing you can do, Vincent.
00:59:35When Mama got you out of jail, you bragged about your big fix.
00:59:39Well, there are no fixes here.
00:59:41Mama can't talk for you anymore.
00:59:45Never mind the cops.
00:59:46I'm gonna finish this where it all started.
01:00:14I'm gonna finish this where it all started.
01:00:27Johnny, for God's sake...
01:00:28Shut up.
01:00:29What have you got to do with God?
01:00:32Get those!
01:00:42No, Johnny.
01:00:43No.
01:00:43You can't.
01:00:44You're not your own brother.
01:00:46You can't.
01:00:53Go back.
01:00:55Stop.
01:00:55Move back.
01:00:58Move back.
01:01:00Move back.
01:01:00Move back.
01:01:01Move back.
01:01:02Move back.
01:01:13Move back.
01:01:15Move back.
01:01:18Move back.
01:01:19Move back.
01:01:21Move back.
01:01:23Move back.
01:01:25Move back.
01:01:26Move back.
01:01:27Move back.
01:01:27Move back.
01:01:28Move back.
01:01:29Move back.
01:01:30Move back.
01:01:30Move back.
