00:21:58I wish he'd put me to work.
00:22:00He will as soon as he finds out what we're to do.
00:22:03You don't think it'll be something we can't do, do you, Nancy?
00:22:07Why, no. He wouldn't expect us to work at a trade we've never learned.
00:22:10I think he's gonna let us choose a profession and study it.
00:22:13What would you like to be, Tommy?
00:22:14Well, I wouldn't like to be a gambler.
00:22:17Tommy, you don't mean...
00:22:18I don't know what I mean, but I got suspicions.
00:22:20Oh, Tommy, you're crazy.
00:22:22I don't want you to mention those suspicions of yours again.
00:22:24Gene is nice. He's been wonderful to us.
00:22:27Oh, it's Gene now, is it?
00:22:28Oh, you're jealous and ungrateful, Tommy Brown.
00:22:31I admire Mr. Fenmore, and I respect him.
00:22:34You're just like all women. You're weak.
00:22:37I hope you're not gonna let a few fine clothes make a demimonde out of you.
00:22:41Why, Tommy Brown, don't you call me a demimonde.
00:22:45Well, maybe you're not, yet.
00:22:47But I'm a man, and I know how these things start.
00:22:49Oh, you know I'm not a demimonde.
00:22:52Yes, honey.
00:22:53Well, then squeeze me.
00:22:59I know Gene's a good man.
00:23:01You know, a woman can tell whether a man's all right or not with her intuition.
00:23:04All right.
00:23:05If your intuition says so, maybe he is.
00:23:08Oh, Mousey, has Mr. Fenmore any more socks with holes in them?
00:23:12I don't think so.
00:23:13But I didn't look in his wastebasket yet this morning.
00:23:17Oh, does he throw them away when they get holes?
00:23:19Sure.
00:23:20And the good thing it is for me that he does.
00:23:27Well, here I am back in the bosom of my family. How are you, Tommy?
00:23:30I'm all right, Mr. Fenmore.
00:23:31How's the little girl banded this morning?
00:23:33I never was so happy in my life.
00:23:35Well, I'm glad to hear it. What are you doing with my shirt?
00:23:38Sewing on the buttons.
00:23:39Well, now that's sweet of you, Nancy. She's a darling, isn't she, Tommy?
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:43You know, I never had anyone to sew on my buttons.
00:23:46How'd you keep up your pants? Sew them on yourself?
00:23:52My tailor does that.
00:23:55But I like to have Nancy do it.
00:23:57I love to do it.
00:23:58Well, just for that, I'm going to give you a present.
00:24:00Oh, Gene. Another present.
00:24:04Something every day.
00:24:05Well, it isn't. I've had this for a long time.
00:24:08I don't often come across a piece that I really like.
00:24:11But when I do, I keep it for an occasion just such as this.
00:24:15I hope you like bracelets.
00:24:17Oh, it's diamonds.
00:24:19Is it real?
00:24:20Oh, genuine A1 stuff, Tommy.
00:24:22Oh, Gene.
00:24:24Dear, it's beautiful. Oh, Tommy, isn't it lovely?
00:24:26Oh, I never dreamed of having such a thing.
00:24:29Oh, thank you.
00:24:32Yeah, it is nice of Mr. Fenmore.
00:24:34Yes.
00:24:34Of course, I could tell you it belonged to my mother, but it didn't.
00:24:37And you may call me Gene, too, Tommy.
00:24:40Thanks.
00:24:41Oh, Gene, why are you so good to us?
00:24:43Well, just because I'm selfish.
00:24:45And it gives me great pleasure to see you so happy and beautiful.
00:24:48The car's waiting downstairs for the kids.
00:24:51They'll be right down.
00:24:52Wait, I'll get you a coat, please.
00:25:02Won't you come with us?
00:25:04Not today, dear.
00:25:06Oh, Gene, how can I ever thank you for everything?
00:25:10Just by being the lovely little thing that you are,
00:25:12being my little pal,
00:25:14makes a new man of me.
00:25:16I'll always try to be.
00:25:18Coming, Nancy?
00:25:20Yes, Tommy.
00:25:24There you are, dear.
00:25:27Good.
00:25:27So.

00:25:32Goodbye.
00:25:33Goodbye.
00:25:45So you fall for the little girl, eh?
00:25:48I see it coming the first day she was here.
00:25:52You see a lot, don't you?
00:25:53Well, I see that she's more than half in love with you, too.
00:25:58Not in love at all.
00:26:00She's just dazzled by a little luxury.
00:26:02Ah, don't kid yourself, Chief.
00:26:06I'm not.
00:26:07She's in love with that boy.
00:26:09She's in love with Tommy.
00:26:11She may not be as sure of her as she was a couple of weeks ago,
00:26:14but I know.
00:26:15But.
00:26:16He'll offer simple sometimes for a guy with brains.
00:26:20Maybe.
00:26:22But for once in my life, I'm thinking of someone else.
00:26:26I'd like to see that kid happy.
00:26:29But you could make a girl happy if you tried.
00:26:33You know, it's my opinion, you can't fight love.
00:26:37It always licks you.
00:26:40Now, don't you give up that kid if you really want her.
00:26:44And don't get on too high ground with women, Chief.
00:26:48It doesn't pay.
00:26:51I had a chance once when I was a young bucko.
00:26:55I passed it up because I thought I wasn't good enough for her.
00:26:59You're not sorry, are you?
00:27:02You bet I'm sorry.
00:27:04Made a bum out of me.
00:27:07And later she married a copper.
00:27:10That was worth sacrificing myself for, I'll tell the world.
00:27:17I wish I could get out of this racket.
00:27:20Ah, you've been wishing that a long time, Chief, but you can't do it.
00:27:24Why, they'd never let you go running around the streets with all you know.
00:27:29Don't I know it?
00:27:31But you got out and you're still drawing your breath.
00:27:34Yes.
00:27:35I got out because they all think I'm too old-fashioned with my methods.
00:27:41But I'm safe because they think I didn't want to get out.
00:27:46But I take good care never to be seen with any very respectable folks.
00:27:54Running around with respectable people is liable to rouse suspicion.
00:27:57Sure it does.
00:27:59Why, your own gang is kind of suspicious of you.
00:28:03Playing around with a lot of swells.
00:28:06Well, I'm going to give them a good eyeful tonight.
00:28:09I'm taking a rich banker and his party down to the club.
00:28:13They've heard that it's a hangout for underworld characters.
00:28:17You don't say so.
00:28:18Well, I just breeze in and give you and your rich friends the once-over.
00:28:23Yeah, do that. Do that, Mountie.
00:28:25And we'll have a lot of laughs when I see you.
00:28:27Well, that'll be funny, wouldn't it?
00:28:29Well, that'll be funny, wouldn't it?
00:28:31Well, that'll be funny, wouldn't it?
00:28:58I doubt it. They don't look intelligent enough to be crooks to me.
00:29:15You'd never take Jane for the sort of person he is to look at him, would you?
00:29:19Why don't you look at somebody else for a change? I think you're still stuck on that guy.
00:29:23Oh, don't be stupid. He's head over heels in love with that girl, Nancy.
00:29:27Yeah, well, at least she's got a brain that turns over occasionally.
00:29:33Now, Tommy's a prized sap if I ever saw her.
00:29:35He's a prized sap if he thinks he can keep his girl with Jean warning her.
00:29:54Well, it's about time for the gathering of the Klan.
00:29:57Yeah, our brigadier general knows it, too. He's getting ready to send his slumming party home.
00:30:04Come on, Emery, let's go.
00:30:05We'll meet you outside.
00:30:07All right.
00:30:22Hello, Frank.
00:30:22Hello, Rocky.
00:30:23Hello, Rocky.
00:30:24Hello, Emery.
00:30:25Huh?
00:30:26Hello, Emery.
00:30:26Rocky, where's Jean?
00:30:27He's outside saying goodbye to some friends. He'll be young enough.
00:30:31Cigarette?
00:30:31No.
00:30:35I wish he'd hurry. I'll be late.
00:30:38You'll be right, Emery.
00:30:39I sort of expected to see a hold-up or a shooting or something awful in this terrible place, Mr.
00:30:44Fenmore.
00:30:45Well, I guess it's a dull night.
00:30:46But I know it's one of the toughest places in New York because I had it straight from someone who
00:30:50knows.
00:30:50Well, I told the ladies that. I wouldn't let them wear their real jewels.
00:30:54I made them take them off before starting out.
00:30:58Very wise.
00:30:59This jewelry we have on is real Woolworths.
00:31:02Yes, I noticed that.
00:31:03But I hope you didn't leave your good things around for some porch climber to pick up.
00:31:07Oh, no.
00:31:08I always keep mine in a sewing basket in my bedroom.
00:31:10How original.
00:31:11I hope you have as clever a hiding place for your things, Mrs. Alex.
00:31:14Oh, I always toss mine in an old hatbox in the top of my closet.
00:31:17A hatbox?
00:31:18Yes.
00:31:18How's perfectly naive.
00:31:19Such a nuisance going to the safe so often.
00:31:21Who would ever think of a hatbox?
00:31:23Nobody ever suspects that.
00:31:24Yes.
00:31:25I must remember that.
00:31:28Good night, Mrs. Alex.
00:31:29Thank you so much.
00:31:29Can we rock you somewhere?
00:31:31No, I'm walking off.
00:31:32Good night.
00:31:32Good night, Mrs. Alex.
00:31:33Good night.
00:31:34Good night, Mrs. Felix.
00:31:36Good night, old man.
00:31:37Good night, Mr. Felix.
00:31:37Good night, Mr. Felix.
00:31:37Good night, you came along.
00:31:39Good night.
00:31:39Good night, Mrs. Alex.
00:31:40Good night, Jean.
00:31:41I want to thank you for a very interesting evening.
00:31:45Drop into the bank tomorrow.
00:31:46I'll come in in the morning.
00:31:48Goodbye.
00:31:48Good night.
00:31:49Good night.
00:31:51This is the first time I've had yelled, sister.
00:31:53What do you think of the joy?
00:31:55C'est impossible.
00:31:56Je trouve que tout le monde est écoutant.
00:31:58La musique est vulgaire.
00:31:59Elle est mangée abominable.
00:32:00Ah, chez nous, à Paris, quelle différence.
00:32:02Allons quitter cette place.
00:32:04Oh, c'est très joli, mademoiselle.
00:32:06Très joli.
00:32:07Que voulez-vous manger?
00:32:09Eh, garçon.
00:32:20Oh.
00:32:21Hello, boys.
00:32:22Hello, Jean.
00:32:23Hello, Jean.
00:32:24Have you got the things I asked for?
00:32:26Yeah, here they are, Chief.
00:32:28You know, boys, you've been a little active lately.
00:32:30Headwaters is getting annoyed.
00:32:31Oh, that's too bad.
00:32:33This Goldman thing is sort of tricky.
00:32:35In my opinion, we'd be wise to quiet down for a while.
00:32:38He'll be in business next year.
00:32:40Next year.
00:32:41That's a long way off.
00:32:42How do we eat in the meantime?
00:32:43We'll get by, all right.
00:32:44We don't want to lay off, gee.
00:32:45This Coleman job's a pipe.
00:32:47What are you so leery about?
00:32:48It's a pipe, I'm telling you.
00:32:49It's a nasty job right off Broadway.
00:32:51It'll take a lot of planning.
00:32:52I could crack that dump with my hands, Ty.
00:32:55You're wonderful, Rocky.
00:32:56You must be.
00:32:57You admit it.
00:32:58It's pretty soft for you to sit there and plan these things.
00:33:00We're the boys that have to do them.
00:33:01My planning has been pretty successful up to now.
00:33:03Now, don't quarrel, boys.
00:33:04The money's waiting for you as soon as you deliver the stuff.
00:33:07Get up, boy, Frankie.
00:33:08And there's a tray of special stones that Coleman always keeps in his safe.
00:33:14He only shows it to certain customers.
00:33:18Get me those and I'll pay you 20,000 more.
00:33:26Well, boys, you know your business better than I do, so I'll be going.
00:33:31Don't go through the restaurant, Frank.
00:33:33Go the other way if you don't mind.
00:33:34All right.
00:33:35Good night, boys.
00:33:36Good night.
00:33:36Good night, Frank.
00:33:37So long, Frank.
00:33:38And, Rocky, don't forget to get that pearl ring.
00:33:42Because I've sold it already.
00:33:44Okay, Frank.
00:33:46So long, Frank.
00:33:47Good night, Frank.
00:33:48Good night, Frank.
00:33:50Say, I've got an idea how to get that tray of special shiner's out of Coleman's safe.
00:33:54How?
00:33:54Send somebody down there that no one would ever suspect.
00:33:57Oh, we've got to no one suspect.
00:33:59The kids?
00:34:00Tommy and Nancy?
00:34:01No.
00:34:03Those kids are not in this game.
00:34:05They're straight, and I'm going to keep them that way.
00:34:07Oh, so you're going to keep little mama pure for your own purposes, eh?
00:34:11What do you mean by that?
00:34:13Well, everybody knows you're stuck on the girl.
00:34:15That's why you don't want to pull this Coleman job.
00:34:17She's probably not used to a gangster sweetheart.
00:34:20And you're going to go straight.
00:34:23Now, look here.
00:34:25Maybe this organization is getting too small to hold you and me.
00:34:30Maybe one of us had better plan on getting out.
00:34:32Well, then, maybe it'd better be you.
00:34:34If you're too yellow to go through with this Coleman job, I'll do it myself.
00:34:40I didn't say I wouldn't go through with it.
00:34:43I said it was wiser to lay off.
00:34:45Well, you boys are set on doing it now.
00:34:50Yes, come on, Chief.
00:34:51Let's do it.
00:34:52Get it off.
00:34:52You know what you want to do better than I do.
00:34:56Let me tell you, it's tricky.
00:34:57But if you pull it clean, you get away with it.
00:34:59And no bloodshed, you understand?
00:35:08Say, Gene, are you going to be here for a while?
00:35:11I'll be here for an hour or two.
00:35:13Good.
00:35:13I want to see you before you leave.
00:35:15All right.
00:35:15I'll be back.
00:35:16So long, fellas.
00:35:17So long, Rocky.
00:35:21You sure now that you got what I asked for?
00:35:24Absolutely, Chief.
00:35:28It certainly was a beautiful show we saw at night, wasn't it?
00:35:30Yeah, it was swell.
00:35:32The leading lady was just like you, only not so pretty.
00:35:35Well, I'm going to bed.
00:35:37Oh, don't go.
00:35:38Gene might come home any minute.
00:35:39Why don't you wait up a while longer?
00:35:41Oh, he never gets in before the crack of dawn.
00:35:43I hear him every night.
00:35:44Oh, he may change his way of living now.
00:35:45He's got a family.
00:35:46You mean us?
00:35:48Oh, there he is now.
00:35:51He doesn't ring the bell.
00:35:53He uses his latch key.
00:35:58Hello, Kitty.
00:35:59Is Gene here yet?
00:35:59No, he isn't.
00:36:01Well, I guess I'll come in and wait for him.
00:36:04Hello, Tommy.
00:36:05You're just the lad I'm looking for.
00:36:12What do you want of me?
00:36:20You know, I feel I owe you something.
00:36:28You know, I guess that was kind of a mean trick I played on you.
00:36:31Pretending to hold you up and take your money.
00:36:33Pretending?
00:36:33You took it.
00:36:34Yeah, but I knew who you were all the time.
00:36:37Why, I was going to give it back to you the next day.
00:36:39Oh, did you recognize me?
00:36:40Why, of course.
00:36:41Just as you recognized me.
00:36:44But just to show you how much I like you kids,
00:36:47I've got the boys, you know, Gene's friends.
00:36:49Well, they're going to chip in and buy you and Nancy a swell present.
00:36:54Oh, Mr. Rocky.
00:36:56We know you kids want to be married and you haven't got much money.
00:37:00Have you got an engagement ring?
00:37:02No.
00:37:03Well, we were just going to have a wedding ring for a while.
00:37:06Well, you've got to have an engagement ring.
00:37:09We're going to give you $2,000.
00:37:14Now, that'll buy a nice big diamond engagement ring and a wedding ring besides.
00:37:18Oh, did you hear that, Tommy?
00:37:20Gee, Rocky, I had you all wrong.
00:37:22It's great of you and the boys to do this for us.
00:37:24Oh, it's nothing at all.
00:37:25We owe it to you.
00:37:26At least, I do.
00:37:29Now, I've got an idea.
00:37:32Do you know where Coleman's jewelry shop is just off Broadway?
00:37:35Yeah, I know Coleman's.
00:37:36Well, he'll give you rock bottom prices.
00:37:39You go in there, oh, anytime tomorrow afternoon.
00:37:41I'll drive you by if you like.
00:37:42I'll be going down there.
00:37:43Oh, thanks.
00:37:45You meet me downstairs.
00:37:48Now, don't say a word to Jean about this, will you?
00:37:50Oh, no.
00:37:51We'll surprise him, eh?
00:37:52All right.
00:37:53Good.
00:37:55Then we're pals?
00:37:56Sure.
00:38:09He's hoping not for you to do this for us, Rocky.
00:38:11No, it's nothing at all.
00:38:13It's almost closing time.
00:38:15You go in and ask to see some diamond wedding rings and some diamond engagement rings.
00:38:18Don't buy the first ones he shows you, will you?
00:38:20They'll be the bum ones.
00:38:21Oh, we'll only buy the best blue-white stuff.
00:38:23That's it.
00:38:25Here.
00:38:26Here's some money.
00:38:27Don't lose it, will you?
00:38:28No, we won't.
00:38:29I'm sorry I can't go with you, but I'll see you later.
00:38:31All right, fine.
00:39:01There's something I can show you, madam.
00:39:03We're looking for an engagement ring and a wedding ring.
00:39:05Yes.
00:39:06Oh, I see.
00:39:08Well, here's some very lovely things that we have.
00:39:11Well, how do you do?
00:39:13I am Mr. Coleman.
00:39:14Is there anything I can do for you?
00:39:15We're looking for an engagement ring and a wedding ring.
00:39:18Oh, I see.
00:39:20Oh, I see.
00:39:22These are very pretty.
00:39:28I have some very, very nice ones over here for you.
00:39:30Just one second.
00:39:31I'll bring them right over.
00:39:33What do you think of this one, honey?
00:39:34Stick them up!
00:39:59This is a laugh.
00:39:59All right, we don't know.
00:40:00All right.
00:40:00Come on.
00:40:08Here's a laugh.
00:40:10They got a picture of Lefty Moon.
00:40:12He's been dead five years.
00:40:14Here's a bit of information.
00:40:16Sam Weisman, the clerk, proved himself a hero in a day.
00:40:18Desperate struggle with two of the robbers.
00:40:20I bet you had a plug, Coleman, Rocky.
00:40:23Oh, he's an old guy. He's seen everything.
00:40:25You've got to hand it to Gene. He'd play in this layout like a general.
00:40:28Listen, anybody can plan him. But where are the guys that pull him?
00:40:31Listen, two young people, Miss Nancy Porter and Mr. Thomas Brown,
00:40:35who were at the store at the time of the hold-up,
00:40:38are being held at the district attorney's office as material witnesses.
00:40:43I hope those kids don't tip off anything.
00:40:45I wonder where Gene is.
00:41:03Hello? Hello? Who is this, please?
00:41:06Stop playing, old Japs, Gene. This is Doc.
00:41:09This isn't Gene. This is Rocky. Hello, Doc.
00:41:13So come right over here to Gene's, will you?
00:41:16All right, I'll wait for you.
00:41:25Well, Mousy, aren't you going to congratulate the boys?
00:41:28What for?
00:41:29No trick to it.
00:41:31No art in it.
00:41:32Just machine work.
00:41:34If that's young blood,
00:41:36I'm glad I've got hardening of the arteries.
00:41:39Too safe for any romance.
00:41:42Safe, my eye.
00:41:43Well, at that, it's the first real job I've seen pulled off in 16 years.
00:41:50Too bad you had to use your gat, Rocky.
00:41:53Forget it.
00:42:18Coleman is dead.
00:42:26What's the big idea, Chief?
00:42:27I told you I didn't want any butchering.
00:42:30Now, you boys, get out of here.
00:42:31I want to talk to Rocky alone.
00:42:47Oh, what are you going to do when a guy starts squawking?
00:42:49Stand there and wait for the cops?
00:42:55You bumped Coleman off.
00:42:56I did.
00:42:58You yellow, white, livid.
00:43:00Oh, cut it.
00:43:01He starts to holl, and I told him to shut up.
00:43:02He reached for a gat, so I didn't reach for a gat.
00:43:04Well, he lowered his hand, and this baby hasn't taken any chances.
00:43:07Didn't my instructions mean anything to you?
00:43:08What kind of a business do you think you're in?
00:43:10It's the game, isn't it?
00:43:11You yellow, Rocky.
00:43:12Well, I wasn't going to let 75 grand step away from me for a worm like Coleman.
00:43:15Now, wait a minute.
00:43:16There's something else I want to talk over with you.
00:43:18What did you mean by sending Nancy and Tommy in as decoys when I told you not to?
00:43:21You didn't hurt him, I did it.
00:43:22We wanted somebody who wouldn't be recognized.
00:43:23And you picked the one person in the world I didn't want mixed up in this business after
00:43:26I told you not to.
00:43:27You didn't need any decoys.
00:43:28You just wanted to hit at me where you knew it had hurt the most.
00:43:31Now, I've stood for you for a long time, but this is the end.
00:43:35By your dirty, low-down, yellow, white, livid...
00:43:37That's enough!
00:43:37You're not going to talk like that to me again!
00:43:38Give me that!
00:43:39Give me that gun, Gene.
00:43:39Look here, Rocky, you're...
00:43:40Make a sap on a million, you're...
00:43:44It's Trumper, come on!
00:43:53He's dead!
00:43:55What did you do that for, Gene?
00:44:17Hello, everybody.
00:44:18Hello, Pat.
00:44:19Well, I hear it's been a very successful job.
00:44:25Oh, now, don't be downhearted, Gene, because Coleman got shot.
00:44:29Remember, it's all in the game.
00:44:33Yes, I guess getting shot is in the game.
00:44:35Sure.
00:44:37Oh, well.
00:44:39Where's Rocky?
00:45:03You killed him, you dirty bully.
00:45:07You were jealous of him because he took me away from you.
00:45:10And what's more, you were afraid he was going to take the gang away from you, too.
00:45:13You knew Rocky had your number and he was going to show you upright.
00:45:18You and your master mind.
00:45:20Ha!
00:45:21You and your orders of no shooting, you crawling hypocrite.
00:45:25You used to get all right and you killed the only boy I ever really loved.
00:45:30You can't get away with that.
00:45:31But I'll make you pay and pay good.
00:45:32I can do it, too.
00:45:33You know I can do it.
00:45:35I'll have you plugged for this.
00:45:36So help me, I'll have you plugged for this.
00:45:38Come on, come on, come on.
00:45:38Don't have me.
00:45:39You've got to get out of here.
00:45:39Double crunch.
00:45:40There's nothing to get away from.
00:45:41All right, Rocky.
00:45:43He can't get away from.
00:45:43Rocky was one of the gang.
00:45:44You have no right to give it to him.
00:45:46You'll have to answer to the gang for this.
00:45:49You get the boys together and I'll be there at the club tonight.
00:45:52On your word?
00:45:54I'll be there at one o'clock, my word.
00:45:56All right.
00:45:59What are they going to do to you?
00:46:01I want you kids to go upstairs.
00:46:03Will you do that for me, please?
00:46:04We want to have a talk with you.
00:46:06Not now, later.
00:46:08I didn't want you mixed up in that job today.
00:46:10Oh, I know, but what are they going to do to you?
00:46:12They mustn't.
00:46:13They can't.
00:46:14Would it mean so much to you?
00:46:17Oh, Gene, I don't want anything to happen to you.
00:46:20I feel as if you needed me.
00:46:22Oh, I'd do anything to help you.
00:46:24You can help me most by going upstairs now.
00:46:28All right, Gene.
00:46:32Oh, whatever you are, you'll always be wonderful to me.
00:46:42I'm going to try you, eh?
00:46:45They ain't going to bump you off like they did Pinky.
00:46:49Well, I hope not.
00:46:51Why don't you make a getaway, Gene?
00:46:53I'll go with you.
00:46:54I'm ashamed of you, Moussey.
00:46:57Hey, you did the right thing in bumping that butcher off.
00:47:01But you'll have a hard time making the gang believe it.
00:47:05They liked Rocky, so they did.
00:47:08Well, I'll have to worry about that.
00:47:11What about the kid?
00:47:14Bring her down there tonight.
00:47:17Bring them both down.
00:47:21I'll beat this, Moussey.
00:47:24I've got to beat it now.
00:47:45I'll be right back now.
00:47:46What's this meeting for?
00:47:48I was keeping an important date when I got you out of the way.
00:47:50This is the most important date you've had for a long time.
00:47:54We're trying Gene for the killing of Rocky.
00:48:08Sir, listen here, Moussey.
00:48:09What did you bring those kids here for?
00:48:11The boss's orders.
00:48:13Sit down.
00:48:17Well, it's one o'clock and he isn't here yet.
00:48:19Yeah.
00:48:20We had time to catch an outgoing train.
00:48:23Yes, you would say that.
00:48:25After all Gene did for you and a lot of other guys.
00:48:28Come on, listen here, Moussey.
00:48:29Now, fight down.
00:48:30Don't you guys get nervous.
00:48:32Gene will be here all right, all right.
00:48:40See that guy over there?
00:48:43Pokey Dunn.
00:48:44Spent six months digging his way out of Sing Sing.
00:48:48And by a miscalculation, came up in the warden's office.
00:48:52Yeah.
00:48:57How are you?
00:48:59I'm all right.
00:49:00How are you?
00:49:09They're taking him for a ride tonight.
00:49:11All right.
00:49:12All right.
00:49:55Well, I'm sorry I'm late.
00:49:57Sit down, Gene. Let's get to business.
00:50:01No objection to my standing, is there?
00:50:03Gene, we're going to give you a fair trial.
00:50:05But if the gang decide against you, I guess you know what that means.
00:50:09I know.
00:50:09Rocky was the most popular and useful member of this gang.
00:50:13And you had no right to shoot him down in cold blood just because you had a grudge against him.
00:50:16Well, why don't you give him a dose of his own medicine?
00:50:18Show him how a chunk of cold land feels.
00:50:20Gene!
00:50:21Now, just a minute. You haven't given me a chance to talk.
00:50:24Yeah, well, why should you speak? You shot him, didn't you?
00:50:27Wait a minute.
00:50:29Well, let's hear what you have to say, Gene.
00:50:31Well, an opening.
00:50:33I just want to say that after looking this crowd over, New York is comparatively safe tonight.
00:50:44And let me remind you that since I've been the head of this organization, there's only been one man sent
00:50:51up.
00:50:52Think that over.
00:50:57Now, before I took hold of you and organized you, if you don't mind my saying so, what were you?
00:51:03Or possibly you've forgotten?
00:51:05Well, may I inquire what that has to do with what we're here for?
00:51:07It just has this to do with it. My leadership has been competent. I may even say brilliant. And I'll
00:51:13tell you why.
00:51:14I've always insisted that when you go on a job, you come away with full hands but clean ones, not
00:51:18smeared with blood.
00:51:20Rocky knew that I was absolutely against killing, yet he did it uselessly. Just because he was a butcher. I've
00:51:26tried to make you use your brains.
00:51:28Anybody can use a gat and burn for it. We've always been successful because we respected human life and fought
00:51:36faster than the other fellow.
00:51:37And most of that fast thinking has been on my part. This nightclub was my idea. I organized it, operated
00:51:43it, and showed a clean profit besides giving us a safe meeting place.
00:51:47But lately, as you all know, I wanted to quit the game entirely. Something came into my life that...
00:51:56Well, as the fiction writers put it, something made me want to go straight.
00:52:00Oh, don't listen to him. He'll try to talk you into believing that Rocky was a traitor.
00:52:04He was. He was always a killer. But when I called him for disobeying orders, he pulled a gat on
00:52:08me.
00:52:09Why don't you realize that when he shot Coleman, he put you all in the shadow of the chair?
00:52:13You're lying. I was there. You shot him down cold like a dog.
00:52:17Oh, shut up. You wasn't there.
00:52:19Steady, Mouse. Now, just a minute. I think we're getting away from the main issue.
00:52:23Which is, why did I shoot Rocky?
00:52:26Yes, why did you shoot him?
00:52:27I shot him in self-defence.
00:52:30You don't believe I'll be involved.
00:52:31To talk! To talk!
00:52:32To talk! To talk!
00:52:33To talk! To talk!
00:52:34Let's get out.
00:52:37Let's get out.
00:52:38Let's move that door!
00:52:41Let's go!
00:52:52Brown lights.
00:52:54There's a switch.
00:52:57I'm here.
00:52:58There's nothing to get away.
00:52:59Go after them, boys.
00:53:00What's that, boys?
00:53:01Go get them, boys, and report back to me on the outside.
00:53:03That's how they go with me.
00:53:09What's the big idea?
00:53:12Policemen.
00:53:17Just a moment.
00:53:18You ladies and gentlemen leave this restaurant as quietly as possible.
00:53:31You boys fare out, too?
00:53:33Yes.
00:53:35Well, there's nobody here we want.
00:53:37The rest of the boys come in the back.
00:53:38They're looking around upstairs.
00:53:39Nobody here at all, sir.
00:53:40They're neither.
00:53:40Well, I'm gonna look for myself.
00:53:57Hello.
00:53:58What are you doing here?
00:54:00We didn't do anything.
00:54:01We were just here watching the police.
00:54:02Wait a minute.
00:54:03Can you beat that?
00:54:05They're the two kids we picked up at Coleman's place.
00:54:08Something wrong here.
00:54:09Mm-hmm.
00:54:11Take them downtown.
00:54:14Well, I know we're on the right track now.
00:54:16And if I can get that guy, Rocky Mosby...
00:54:21Here, boys.
00:54:21Take these two birds down, sir.
00:54:23All right, Chase.
00:54:26You wouldn't think a couple of kids like that would be mixed up with a bunch of gunmen?
00:54:29Well, they start young these days.
00:54:42Some gang all right.
00:54:44They might as well be deaf and dumb for all you can get out of them.
00:54:46Can't somebody get something out of those two kids?
00:54:48Nothing any of them says is worth a hoot.
00:54:51I want to land this bird, Fenmore, for murder and nothing less.
00:54:55I thought I could make the old guy cough up.
00:54:57What's his name?
00:54:59The mouse.
00:55:00Yeah.
00:55:00But he wouldn't spill.
00:55:01He was cagier than any of them.
00:55:03Well, Bill's had the boy in there trying to make him talk.
00:55:05They know the truth if we can get it out of them.
00:55:07Well, all they'll admit is that they were at Coleman's before the holdup,
00:55:11and they insist that they were looking for wedding rings,
00:55:15and nobody sent them.
00:55:17Bring that boy in here.
00:55:34Sit down over there.
00:55:39I can't stand it.
00:55:40I can't stand it.
00:55:42I've told you everything I know.
00:55:44Well, well, now, now.
00:55:47You've got something you can tell the district attorney, haven't you?
00:55:50You ready to tell me who sent you to Coleman's?
00:55:52His name was Rocky.
00:55:55That's the only name we knew.
00:55:57That's the fellow we found dead in Fenmore's apartment, isn't it?
00:56:00Yes.
00:56:01You know Gene Fenmore?
00:56:02No.
00:56:03You know who killed Coleman?
00:56:05Yes, it was Rocky.
00:56:08And who killed Rocky?
00:56:10I don't know.
00:56:12Yes, you do too.
00:56:13It was Gene Fenmore.
00:56:17Your girlfriend there just said so.
00:56:20No, I didn't.
00:56:20Don't believe him, Tommy.
00:56:23This Rocky was a member of Gene Fenmore's gang, wasn't he?
00:56:26I don't know.
00:56:28Say, who took you to the club last night?
00:56:31Tommy.
00:56:34Say, you didn't happen to see Gene Fenmore while you were there, did you?
00:56:36No.
00:56:37Then you wouldn't know him if you saw him.
00:56:38No.
00:56:39No, I don't know him.
00:56:40You do know that you're implicated in the Coleman murder, don't you?
00:56:43You're accessories.
00:56:44And an accessory pays the penalty just the same as a murderer.
00:56:47We didn't have anything to do with it, I tell you.
00:56:49I know you tell me, but I don't believe you.
00:56:51I didn't believe you when I had you down here after the holdup, and I don't believe you now.
00:56:56Now, listen here, you kids.
00:56:58If you want to come clean with me and tell me who planned the Coleman holdup and the names of
00:57:03Rocky's pals,
00:57:04well, I'll promise to let you off easy.
00:57:07Why, maybe I can get you off altogether.
00:57:09All I know is Rocky gave us money to buy an engagement and a wedding ring.
00:57:12Oh, take him out of here.
00:57:13Come on.
00:57:14Go ahead.
00:57:19You're a couple of saps.
00:57:21Going to the electric chair to protect a cheap crook will only be caught sooner or later anyway.
00:57:25Go on, take him out.
00:57:38Get everything they said?
00:57:39Everything, yes.
00:57:40Good. Hurry and get it out and they'll get their signatures.
00:57:51We got him, Inspector.
00:57:52Where'd you find him?
00:57:53In his apartment, taking a bath.
00:57:55Any signs about the place?
00:57:56No, sir. No sign.
00:57:57He's a cool guy.
00:57:58He never batted an eye when we told him he was wanted for murder.
00:58:01Bring him in.
00:58:02Yes, sir.
00:58:11How do you do, Eugene?
00:58:13Why so formal, call me Gene.
00:58:16Thanks.
00:58:18You know, eventually I always meet the distinguished members of your profession.
00:58:24Thanks for the compliment.
00:58:26Now, just a moment.
00:58:32Bill.
00:58:39Ben Moore, I wonder if you happen to know these two youngsters.
00:58:45No, I don't.
00:58:46You're quite sure?
00:58:48You'd better take a closer look.
00:58:56Positive.
00:59:00Tommy, this is the gentleman I referred to, Mr. Fenmore.
00:59:03Look at him.
00:59:05Look at him.
00:59:07That's it.
00:59:09You ever see him before?
00:59:11No.
00:59:14Never.
00:59:15No.
00:59:19Young lady, perhaps you know this gentleman.
00:59:22No, sir.
00:59:30Now, I want you two to fix your eyes on one another.
00:59:33And perhaps you'll recall having met before.
00:59:48Mr. Fenmore.
00:59:49All right.
00:59:49Pick him up.
00:59:49Come on.
00:59:58Sit down, Mr. Fenmore.
01:00:00Thanks.
01:00:02Just a minute.
01:00:04You know, when two important men get together, the things they say might startle the world.
01:00:14I just want to see if there are any stenographers or dictaphone's tucked away.
01:00:17Yeah, very prudent of you.
01:00:20Yes, important men must be cautious.
01:00:23Would you mind taking those off?
01:00:25I'd like to have a free hand in the conversation.
01:00:32Charlie, we're going to have a nice little private talk.
01:00:37Sit down.
01:00:39Frank.
01:00:45You know, I never saw you before tonight.
01:00:47No.
01:00:50Thought you were funny pulling that stunt on me, huh?
01:00:53You mean tonight at the club?
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:57Well, I've got you, Fenmore.
01:00:59And I'm going to send you to the chair.
01:01:01Yeah?
01:01:02Well, that's a nice prospect. How are you going to do it?
01:01:04I've got the goods on you.
01:01:06Well, if you had the goods on me, you wouldn't be talking to me now.
01:01:08You planned the Coleman holdup.
01:01:10What makes you think so?
01:01:11It was so clever, Gene, it took a brain like yours to plan it.
01:01:15Well, if that's the goods you have on me, I think you'd have to have something else.
01:01:18You know, Fenmore, while you've been running around with a lot of nice people, I've known all along that you
01:01:23were the leader of the worst band of gorillas in the city.
01:01:25I've been throwing lawsuits at you for some time.
01:01:28I caught an arm.
01:01:29I caught a leg.
01:01:30But what I wanted was your neck.
01:01:34Somehow these gorillas of yours wouldn't commit murder.
01:01:36But this time, they did.
01:01:39And so you see, I've at last got your neck.
01:01:43What are you driving at?
01:01:44I want you to sign a confession that you planned the Coleman holdup.
01:01:48Oh, is that all?
01:01:49That's all.
01:01:50Just a scratch of the pen, Gene.
01:01:52Just a scratch of the pen.
01:01:53Send myself to the chair.
01:01:54Well, that is simple, isn't it?
01:01:56You know, Gene, the real tragedy is not Rocky or Coleman, but these two young people.
01:02:03You mean the young people I saw here tonight?
01:02:05Yeah.
01:02:05Well, what about them?
01:02:07Oh, quit stalling.
01:02:08You know all about them.
01:02:09But I don't.
01:02:10And they're just as guilty of murder as your pal, Rocky, who did the actual shooting.
01:02:14And I'm going to convict them.
01:02:16Well, what jury would convict those two kids?
01:02:18Well, the girl might get off with a stretch.
01:02:20But the boy's going to the chair with you and the rest of the gangsters we nab tonight just as
01:02:24sure as shooting.
01:02:27Do you know Dorothy Palmer?
01:02:30Who?
01:02:31Dorothy Palmer.
01:02:33No.
01:02:34No?
01:02:34No.
01:02:37Well, she was your girl once.
01:02:39And she was pretty fond of your friend Rocky.
01:02:42We found his body tonight in your apartment after the raid.
01:02:45You killed him, didn't you?
01:02:47Well, if I did, I certainly don't remember it.
01:02:48Well, don't worry.
01:02:49The police department's already given you a vote of thanks for that.
01:02:52But I'm going to convict you for the murder of Coleman, too.
01:02:55Yeah, well, how are you going to do it?
01:02:57Well, what's your evidence?
01:02:58Carloads supplied by three star witnesses who have turned state's evidence.
01:03:02You don't mind if I don't believe you.
01:03:04No, it's all right.
01:03:06I'm going to prove it to you.
01:03:10Just a moment.
01:03:13One of the state's star witnesses, your former sweetheart.
01:03:22I don't know the lady.
01:03:24You don't know me, Jean.
01:03:26Oh, don't make me laugh.
01:03:28Now, listen, I helped land you, and I'm glad of it.
01:03:31And unless you have me bumped off, I'll be reading what you ate for your last meal in Sing Sing.
01:03:38Oh, Miss Palmer, Miss Palmer, please.
01:03:39That's enough.
01:03:43Well, goodbye, Jean.
01:03:45And when you see him, give my love to Rocky.
01:04:00Well, is that enough?
01:04:02Well, you played it all right, but one ace won't beat me.
01:04:05All right, I'll play a trump ace.
01:04:08The kids have already admitted that Rocky sent them on the job and that Rocky killed Coleman.
01:04:13They've signed a confession.
01:04:17Do you mean to say those kids have confessed to being accessories?
01:04:21Read it.
01:04:26Maybe they didn't know what they were doing when they went to Coleman's.
01:04:28Well, it'll be pretty hard to make a jury believe that.
01:04:32Can I see them a minute?
01:04:34Sure.
01:04:51Did you sign that confession?
01:04:53Yes.
01:04:54Yes, we signed it.
01:04:55I'll leave you folks alone to talk it over.
01:05:02You got us into this.
01:05:03Get us out of it.
01:05:04Shh.
01:05:04The man is a stranger to us.
01:05:05We've never seen him before.
01:05:07I'm very sorry.
01:05:08Words won't do us any good.
01:05:10Get us out of this, won't you?
01:05:11I'll try.
01:05:12All you have to do is tell them we were innocent.
01:05:14Tell them Rocky put up a job on us.
01:05:16Yes, Jean.
01:05:16All you have to say is you knew Rocky sent us into that store without telling us there was going
01:05:20to be a holdup.
01:05:20Then they'd let us go.
01:05:22That wouldn't incriminate you any, would it?
01:05:24Why, certainly not.
01:05:25Oh, Jean, they mustn't do anything to tell me if they did.
01:05:27I couldn't live without him.
01:05:43Little statement I prepared for you, Jean.
01:05:45Read it.
01:05:49What did you go to all that trouble for?
01:05:51You know I won't sign it.
01:05:52You won't sign it, huh?
01:05:54Not unless you're able to offer me something very attractive.
01:05:57Then what do you want?
01:05:59I want to see you alone.
01:06:13Well, what is it?
01:06:16I want the absolute unconditional freedom of those two youngsters.
01:06:19They're not even to be mentioned in the case.
01:06:21They are going up and so are you.
01:06:23Oh, yes, I am.
01:06:24I'll fight this till doomsday.
01:06:27Jimmies and guns aren't the only weapons I have.
01:06:29There's a lot of good lawyers in this town that will keep me out of jail for a hundred thousand
01:06:32bucks.
01:06:33Maybe you're right, but I'll take a chance on it.
01:06:35I'll tell you what I'll do with you, Mr. District Attorney.
01:06:39I'll admit everything and take the rap.
01:06:42If you let those kids go.
01:06:48All right.
01:06:50I'll give you a letter that will guarantee their freedom.
01:06:52That they're innocent victims.
01:06:54If you'll sign that.
01:06:57I'll sign it when I get your guarantee.
01:07:01Okay.
01:07:04Do you mind if I go in there and see the kids?
01:07:06It's all right.
01:07:07Well, Charlie.
01:07:10Don't worry. It'll be all right, Nancy.
01:07:12Just a minute.
01:07:35You always have good pens here.
01:07:39Charlie, I want you to witness that.
01:07:43Have you got Mousy here?
01:07:45Yes. He's just outside.
01:07:46Do you mind if I see him?
01:07:48Hmm.
01:07:49Put that in the vault and tell Mousy to come in here.
01:08:12Well, there's your freedom, kid.
01:08:15You youngsters, go on home now.
01:08:17I'm going to keep an eye on you. I might need you.
01:08:19You're not to leave the city, you understand?
01:08:21Yes, sir.
01:08:22Goodbye, Gene.
01:08:24Goodbye, Tommy.
01:08:26Goodbye, Gene.
01:08:28Goodbye, Nancy.
01:08:30Everything's all right now, isn't it?
01:08:31Yes, of course it's all right.
01:08:33Nothing will happen to you.
01:08:35No, nothing's going to happen to me.
01:08:37He knows you didn't have anything to do with it, doesn't he?
01:08:39Why, of course he knows he has nothing to do with it.
01:08:44Now, you go on home and I'll call you up later at the house.
01:08:46All right. Goodbye, Gene.
01:08:49Goodbye, Nancy.
01:09:00I want you to do me a favor, Mousy.
01:09:03Anything, Chief.
01:09:06I want you to look after those kids for me.
01:09:10Understand?
01:09:12Sure, Chief, but how can I?
01:09:15You're going out of here.
01:09:18I'll fix it all up with my lawyer this morning.
01:09:21But I want to know that they're well taken care of.
01:09:26Aren't you going out, too?
01:09:30Not as soon as you are.
01:09:34I know I can depend on you, Mousy.
01:09:38And it'll make me feel better if she's all right.
01:09:44I got you, boy.
01:09:46You can count on me till they carry me out.
01:10:03You're a pretty regular fellow, Gene.
01:10:05Too bad you couldn't have done something better than lead a bunch of crooks.
01:10:08You know, I've been connected with the police department for a number of years.
01:10:11And I've seen the best of them come and go.
01:10:14And you can't get away with it.
01:10:16It's always a losing game.
01:10:21Well, at least you owe my profession a debt of gratitude.
01:10:26If it wasn't for men like me,
01:10:29there wouldn't be any necessity for men like you.
01:10:32You?
01:10:35I'll be right back.
01:10:35I'll be right back.
