00:00:07The End
00:00:39The End
00:01:20On March 27th last, 1322 displaced persons sailed past the Statue of Liberty
00:01:27into the safe harbor of New York.
00:01:34Rescued by the International Refugee Organization of the United Nations,
00:01:38their eyes filled with tears of happiness as they were welcomed to America.
00:01:50From the teeming shores of an unsettled world, they had come in search of human dignity,
00:01:56in search of freedom, from want, from fear, from persecution.
00:02:02At last, the hope and the dream had come true.
00:02:10They had found a home and peace.
00:02:14Forgotten was the nightmare of war.
00:02:16Erased was the torment of the concentration camp.
00:02:27A golden door had opened.
00:02:29A new life had begun.
00:02:33For all except one of them.
00:02:36For he had come so far,
00:02:39only to be locked out.
00:02:40For all except one of them.
00:02:57Okay, Kuban. You're next. Let's go.
00:03:13Kuban, the stowaway.
00:03:19Sit down.
00:03:35Name? Peter Kuban.
00:03:37You speak English? Yes.
00:03:40Where did you learn? In school? No, sir. From other prisoners.
00:03:43In concentration camp. I had much time to learn.
00:03:48Your nationality.
00:03:50I have none. I was born in Hungary.
00:03:54But the hungry I loved is no more.
00:03:57Any distinguishing marks?
00:04:02Scars.
00:04:04Marks on your body for identification.
00:04:08No fingernails on second, third, and fourth fingers.
00:04:11What happened to your fingernails?
00:04:15They thought I knew something.
00:04:18They pulled them out with pliers.
00:04:20It's already seven years.
00:04:23Any other marks?
00:04:24I have a scar on the right shoulder from a bayonet.
00:04:28Never mind.
00:04:29Last permanent address.
00:04:32Camps.
00:04:33What camps?
00:04:34Auschwitz, labor camps, concentration camps, disciplinary camps.
00:04:39Ten years in camps.
00:04:40How old are you?
00:04:4225.
00:04:4225.
00:04:44Family?
00:04:49The gas chamber.
00:04:51The gas chamber.
00:04:57You start away at Trieste.
00:04:59How did you get from Chepron to Trieste?
00:05:01I walked.
00:05:03300 miles?
00:05:04I walked.
00:05:06Without passport, without money?
00:05:07I have money.
00:05:09Eight dollars.
00:05:10I can pay the hat tax.
00:05:12I can pay the hat tax.
00:05:12I have money.
00:05:13Kuban, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.
00:05:15You stowed away.
00:05:16You're here illegally.
00:05:17But...
00:05:18We can't let you in.
00:05:19The law is exact.
00:05:21We have to send you back.
00:05:24Back?
00:05:27You do not understand.
00:05:30Listen, I escaped.
00:05:32If they get me back, I'll be dead.
00:05:35I have committed no crime.
00:05:37A man has a right to live, to have a home, to be free.
00:05:42We have no choice.
00:05:44Our job is to enforce the law.
00:05:46I read the law.
00:05:48It says that you must allow me to come in.
00:05:51What law is that?
00:05:52The displaced persons law.
00:05:54Statute number six.
00:05:55It was passed by your Congress.
00:05:57What about statute six?
00:05:59I tell you.
00:06:00A person bearing arms for the allied cause in World War II
00:06:04has the privilege to come into America without a quota number,
00:06:08before others.
00:06:09Yes, that's true.
00:06:10You can prove that you helped the allied cause?
00:06:13Just before the end of the war, I escaped from Auschwitz.
00:06:18I joined the underground.
00:06:20And I found an American parachute soldier.
00:06:23His leg was broken.
00:06:25I hid him in a stable for five days.
00:06:28I stole food for him.
00:06:29When the front collapsed, I carried him on my back to an American field hospital.
00:06:34What was his name?
00:06:36The soldier.
00:06:36Tom.
00:06:37It was Tom.
00:06:37Give us his name, address, outfit.
00:06:40It was Tom.
00:06:41He was a parachute soldier.
00:06:43His name and address.
00:06:44Yes.
00:06:45He lives in New York.
00:06:47He lives here.
00:06:48Yes.
00:06:48And his name.
00:06:49He called me Pete.
00:06:51I called him Tom.
00:06:53He's a musician.
00:06:54He told me.
00:06:54He plays the clarinet.
00:06:59You need evidence, signatures, witnesses.
00:07:02If you don't even know his name, we cannot help you.
00:07:04But I saved him.
00:07:05He lives in New York.
00:07:07He told me.
00:07:07He used to talk to me about a place where he worked.
00:07:11A crowded street.
00:07:13A street called Times Square.
00:07:17That's it.
00:07:17He told me that he wanted to go back to Times Square.
00:07:21To do you any good, you'll need his full name and address.
00:07:23I could find him.
00:07:25If you let me off the boat, I can find him.
00:07:28He lives in New York.
00:07:29He's a musician.
00:07:31New York is not chaperon.
00:07:33Have you ever been in a big city?
00:07:35No.
00:07:36New York has 8 million people.
00:07:39100,000 Toms.
00:07:4150,000 musicians.
00:07:42But I could find him.
00:07:43I know it.
00:07:43I could find him.
00:07:44And he would prove my story.
00:07:49We can't let you off this ship.
00:07:57You do not believe me.
00:08:00Look.
00:08:01He gave me his watch.
00:08:04The watch doesn't prove anything.
00:08:06I'm sorry, Kuban.
00:08:08The law gives us no choice.
00:08:11We have to send you back.
00:08:16We have to send you back.
00:08:23The stateless Peter Kuban arrived today.
00:08:27He's a stowaway aboard the SS Concorde.
00:08:30Unable to furnish the necessary papers, he will be deported to Trieste tomorrow.
00:08:36Take it easy, kid. That story will make you famous.
00:08:41Sure. Millions of dames will read about you.
00:08:44Crying their beer over you.
00:08:45People are leaving right to their congressmen.
00:08:47Yes. And then what will happen?
00:08:50Nothing. Tomorrow you'll be sailing back home.
00:09:21Stop that man. He's escaping.
00:09:24He's going that way. Get him.
00:09:28Hey, the stowaway. Get him off.
00:09:31Hey.
00:09:32He's making check. Up there. Get him.
00:09:39You. Stop.
00:09:50Don't jump. They'll get killed.
00:09:54Don't jump. They'll get killed.
00:10:02Don't jump. They'll get killed.
00:10:14Don't jump.
00:10:15Stop or I'll shoot.
00:10:25Stop, sir.
00:10:54Stop.
00:10:54Fly that way.
00:10:59Hey, give me a lift. I'm chasing the guard.
00:11:04Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:08Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:11Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:14Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:16Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:18Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:18Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:19Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:24Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:27Hey, give me a lift.
00:11:28Hey, give me a lift.
00:13:09Time Square.
00:13:14Just like Tom said.
00:13:57It's the first one ever jumped ship on us.
00:13:59Yeah, these fellas know all the tricks.
00:14:01If we don't get them back, it'll be my neck.
00:14:03Well, for one thing, we know he's hurt.
00:14:05We'll check the hospitals.
00:14:07You take that detail, Swenson.
00:14:10You know that clarinet player he was telling us about?
00:14:12Yeah.
00:14:13You think he'd be crazy enough to try to find him?
00:14:16You believe that story?
00:14:18It sounded on the up and up to me.
00:14:20Didn't it?
00:14:21They've all got stories.
00:14:22When you hear them day after day, you don't know what to believe.
00:14:26But if it is true, then he'd be looking around Times Square.
00:14:29Possibility.
00:14:31We'll try it.
00:14:32Come on.
00:14:32We'll split up the area between 42nd Street and 47th, from 8th Avenue to 5th.
00:14:40You take this, Kylie.
00:14:42Yes, sir.
00:14:42I'll take 42nd to 47th, Mellinger.
00:14:47Take this section and to me, that one.
00:14:50Cover all night spots.
00:14:52Every place it has a band.
00:14:54He's on the level about that clarinet fellow.
00:14:56What happens if you don't get him back by 7th?
00:14:58At your sailing time?
00:14:59Yes.
00:15:01Well, he becomes a fugitive and a criminal.
00:15:03After that, he'll never be able to get into this country at all.
00:15:06Let's get going.
00:15:16Let's get going.
00:16:11Let's get going.
00:16:20Let's get going.
00:16:43You're a clarinet player.
00:16:44His name is Tom.
00:16:45Tom?
00:16:46Are you kidding?
00:16:47We got an all-girl band.
00:16:54One.
00:16:55You're a clarinet player.
00:16:57His name is Tom.
00:16:59Clarinet player, trumpet player.
00:17:00Who knows their names?
00:17:01They play.
00:17:03May I look, please?
00:17:05Help yourself.
00:17:06Don't block the aisle.
00:17:06Honey, don't block the aisle.
00:19:47Hey, Zelda.
00:19:49Hey!
00:19:50She's stealing my coat!
00:19:52Hey!
00:19:53Hey!
00:19:54She's stealing my coat!
00:19:55Hey!
00:19:58Hey!
00:19:59Hey!
00:20:00She's stealing my coat!
00:20:02Hey!
00:20:03Hey!
00:20:04Hey!
00:20:06Hey!
00:20:08Hey!
00:20:12Hey!
00:20:13What are you standing there for? She went in the park. Go after her.
00:20:28Hey, look. There's a police car.
00:20:31Hey! Hey, police! Police!
00:20:54Get down. I left the coat leg on me. Keep quiet. Quiet.
00:21:03We'll get her. My partner's calling in. We'll have all the actions blocked.
00:21:11Just what are you doing?
00:21:12You want to get out, don't you?
00:21:15Of course I do.
00:21:16Then crawl. Follow me.
00:21:31Get down on your belly. Crawl. Come on.
00:21:53Come on.
00:21:57Thanks. I'll be seeing you.
00:22:03Hey.
00:22:05Look, you help me and I'm grateful. Let's call it quits, okay?
00:22:08You're not safe yet.
00:22:10Let me worry about me, will you?
00:22:12I wouldn't feel right. If you were caught.
00:22:16I'm relieving you of all obligation. You can clear your conscience as of now.
00:22:21What is it with you?
00:22:35Now, where do you live?
00:22:38I got a room.
00:22:39All right. We go there.
00:22:41Oui. Now, just a minute.
00:22:45You mean if I don't you?
00:22:48I haven't got much choice, have I?
00:22:59Why don't you be a good joke and go home?
00:23:18I've met all kinds. All with the same idea.
00:23:22But you, you got me buffaloed.
00:23:25Buffaloed?
00:23:27Don't you understand English?
00:23:29You're fast enough to take advantage of a situation.
00:23:32I had to do it.
00:23:33Had to? You trying to win a bet or something?
00:23:37I had to find a place to rest.
00:23:39Oh. That's a new approach.
00:23:42Have you some water, please?
00:23:44Over there.
00:23:51Look what you've done.
00:23:53I'm sorry.
00:23:55My landlord would just as soon toss me out of my ear.
00:23:59I hope she didn't...
00:24:02She didn't.
00:24:10Open up. I know you're in there.
00:24:11Where's that money you promised me?
00:24:13I'll have it for you in a day or two, Mrs. Hinkley.
00:24:16Bourgeois.
00:24:17You've been giving me that for weeks.
00:24:19I'm not having any more.
00:24:21Honest, I will.
00:24:22Either you dig up the cash right away,
00:24:25or when Eddie gets home,
00:24:26he'll put your things out on the sidewalk.
00:24:28Mrs. Hinkley, I promise you.
00:24:30No, I want you out of here anyway.
00:24:32I've seen the way you've been egging my Eddie on.
00:24:34Egg? I'm black and blue from fighting the big girl off.
00:24:37Now, you get your things out of here,
00:24:39or when Eddie gets home, he'll put them out.
00:24:41And he'll be home soon.
00:24:46Oh, wait a minute, Mrs. Hinkley.
00:24:48I think I can let you have part of it.
00:24:50So, you've been holding out.
00:24:53All right, open up and let me have it.
00:24:55Under the door.
00:25:03Seven lousy dollars. You owe me 30.
00:25:08I'll get you the rest. I got a job coming.
00:25:10You cough it up by day after tomorrow.
00:25:13That's final.
00:25:18Thanks for the loan.
00:25:21But if you've got any ideas, it's going to entitle you to any special privileges.
00:25:24I'm sorry.
00:25:27You have enough troubles without me.
00:25:31Well, it was not such a good idea that I had.
00:25:37I hope you understand. It's nothing personal. I...
00:25:41I won't trouble you anymore.
00:25:45There's no use asking where to send the money.
00:25:48I don't know when I'll ever have any.
00:25:51Just don't steal any more coats.
00:25:54No. I'm not very good at it.
00:25:59Good-bye.
00:26:03So long.
00:26:31Good-bye.
00:26:53I must go.
00:26:54I must find Tom.
00:26:56Just a little easy.
00:26:57My ribs.
00:27:00Something must be broken.
00:27:04How'd you do that?
00:27:07When I jumped from the ship.
00:27:10What ship?
00:27:11It's here in the paper.
00:27:30You'd better get to a doctor.
00:27:31No.
00:27:32He would report me.
00:27:34They would send me back.
00:27:36A broken rib could puncture something.
00:27:38You want to die.
00:27:39I don't want to die.
00:27:42But I don't want to go back.
00:27:47Lift up.
00:27:48Let's take off your coat.
00:27:53Let's take off your coat.
00:27:55Let's go.
00:28:42Come here.
00:28:45Let's go.
00:28:45That'll help for a while.
00:28:50You're angry for making you bring me here.
00:28:57You better rest.
00:28:59I better go now.
00:29:00No. You stay here.
00:29:04You're in no condition to be running.
00:29:07And you're not so hard as you pretend.
00:29:13Tell me, is there not work for everyone here in America?
00:29:20Almost everyone.
00:29:22So how it happens that a girl like you steals a coat?
00:29:27I don't know. I was cold.
00:29:31I needed a coat.
00:29:34More than that. I was fed up, I guess.
00:29:42Did you ever put tips on shoelaces?
00:29:45Tip and shoelaces?
00:29:47Yeah. That's what I did for two years.
00:29:51There's a big steel machine here, see?
00:29:54And over here a giant spool of shoelace.
00:29:57You pull it out like this, 27 inches at a time, all day.
00:30:02And then you stamp a pedal, and a ton of steel bangs down, cuts the lace and rolls the tip
00:30:06on.
00:30:06Bang like that, and again. Bang all day.
00:30:09Scared you'll smash a finger.
00:30:11But at the same time, you've got to keep your eye on the assistant foreman.
00:30:13Because every time he comes by, he pinches you.
00:30:16You do this till your brain goes numb.
00:30:19And you get 35 bucks a week.
00:30:22And then all of a sudden you have an appendix attack, an operation.
00:30:25And you're out, flat on your back.
00:30:27And you just can't get back on your feet.
00:30:28And you get fed up.
00:30:29And you want to strike back at somebody, anybody.
00:30:36And you steal a coat.
00:30:51When I get work...
00:30:54I will help you.
00:30:57I never met anybody like you before.
00:31:08You have a girl where you come from?
00:31:12There were no girls in the camps.
00:31:16Except behind barbed wire.
00:31:38No.
00:32:05Lister.
00:32:08I bid 380.
00:32:10You'll bid them goodbye.
00:32:11Hey, Nancy, what are you doing here?
00:32:13I've got to talk to you.
00:32:14Well, in a minute, honey, as soon as I finish this hand.
00:32:15Well, right now, darling, will you hear?
00:32:17In a minute, I'm sitting with a 450 hand.
00:32:20Uh-oh, I passed.
00:32:22Honey, you see, you made me give my hand away.
00:32:24Oh, but, Tom, this is important.
00:32:26Here be, Bob, you play it out.
00:32:28You see, Tom, you're not even married yet.
00:32:30Must be important.
00:32:43No, Mamie.
00:32:45I tell you, that's not lipstick on my shirt.
00:32:47I had a red pencil in my pocket or something.
00:32:50No, I'm at the musician's club now, and I'm waiting for a job.
00:32:54Hey, buddy.
00:32:56Mamie, I tell you, it's just...
00:33:00All right, now, what is it, baby?
00:33:01Well, you know how I've been badgering Shimmy for weeks about getting you sent.
00:33:05Shimmy's arranged a spot for you with Jack Teagarden's band.
00:33:09Jack Teagarden?
00:33:09Oh, baby, baby.
00:33:12That's the kind of a break I've been waiting for since I got out of the Army.
00:33:15Well, no, hold on, darling.
00:33:15You only said if you've got the stuff.
00:33:17You're talking to me, baby.
00:33:18Have I got the stuff for having it?
00:33:20Well, honey, I know it, and you know it, but you've got to convince Jack.
00:33:23Convince him?
00:33:23I'll blow my brains out.
00:33:25Hey, when does he want me to come down?
00:33:26Tonight.
00:33:27Oh, right now, in fact.
00:33:28Got your clarinet with you.
00:33:29Yeah, it's in my locker.
00:33:30Good.
00:33:31Well, now get yourself cleaned up and comb that silly hair of yours.
00:33:33I want you to look pretty.
00:33:35Okay, well, look.
00:33:36Look, here's the key to my locker.
00:33:37You get the liquor stick in my hat, and I'll get all cleaned up, all right?
00:33:42Tom, if Jack keeps you on, then we can do all the things we've wanted to do.
00:33:46Oh, baby, I'll make him bust open that city hall so we can get our license.
00:33:50Even if he doesn't, Tom?
00:33:51Now, we've been all through that before.
00:33:53I told you I don't want a wife that supports me.
00:33:55Oh, is that so?
00:33:56Well, what are you worried about?
00:33:57I'll get the job.
00:34:00Here's one for luck.
00:34:01And remind me to kiss Shimmy when I see him.
00:34:03He'll still want his 10%.
00:34:04I'll kiss him 10% worth.
00:34:06Oh, go make yourself pretty.
00:34:20Hi.
00:34:21Ah.
00:34:26Ah, what a world.
00:34:28What a lost up world this is.
00:34:32Here's a poor sucker.
00:34:33He walks 400 miles to stow away on a boat to come here.
00:34:37So what happens to him?
00:34:38What?
00:34:39So they're going to ship him back.
00:34:40That's what.
00:34:41Forgot his driver's license or something.
00:34:43So he can't come in.
00:34:45Oh, what a world.
00:34:46They should give it back to the Indians.
00:34:48And we think we got troubles.
00:34:50Take Herbie.
00:34:51You know, Fat Herbie, the trombone player.
00:34:53I'm on a job with him last week.
00:34:54All night long, he keeps knocking me a tea kettle about if he eats too much,
00:34:58he keeps on belching.
00:34:59You know, interferes with his rhythm.
00:35:01So I says, Herbie, if you eat too much and you keep on belching,
00:35:05so don't eat so much.
00:35:07Reasonable?
00:35:07Sure.
00:35:08Yeah, so he says, but I like to eat.
00:35:10It's my pleasure.
00:35:11I like to eat.
00:35:13Just like that.
00:35:15So I says, okay, so eat.
00:35:17So belch.
00:35:18And he thinks he's got troubles.
00:35:21Here's a guy with troubles.
00:35:2310 years he spent already in the concentration cap,
00:35:25and they're going to send them back.
00:35:26Oh, what a world.
00:35:30Fooey.
00:35:32What a world.
00:35:35Fooey.
00:35:38Why are you not?
00:35:40I'm doing that.
00:35:45I can't wait for you.
00:35:47I can't wait for you.
00:35:51I'm doing that.
00:35:53I gotta work for you.
00:36:00I'm doing that.
00:36:03So if you don't go for it, you may be staying at the same time.
00:36:03That's fine.
00:36:03It's fine.
00:36:04I'm doing that.
00:36:11Nancy, this fellow here in the paper, it's Peter, the one I told you about, the kid that saved my
00:36:18life.
00:36:19Are you sure?
00:36:21Of course I'm sure.
00:36:23Oh, what a rotten break.
00:36:26I've got to go down there, see what I can do.
00:36:29Down where?
00:36:30The immigration office.
00:36:32Tonight? What could you do?
00:36:34I don't know. There must be something.
00:36:36I ought to talk to them, maybe keep them from sending him back.
00:36:39But you're supposed to be at Jack's place right now, for heaven's sakes, Tom.
00:36:42I know, I know, but...
00:36:43Then what are we arguing about?
00:36:45He has no passport. He stowed away illegally.
00:36:48Well, I'm sorry for the fellow, but what can you do?
00:36:50The law says he can't come in.
00:36:52There must be some way. I ought to try.
00:36:54Sure, go fight, City Hall. Blow your big chance.
00:36:57I've chased Shimmy for weeks to get you this chance.
00:36:59You say you love me. You won't marry me till you get sent.
00:37:02Well, I've waited five years.
00:37:03But I just can't walk out on him.
00:37:05All right, walk out on me.
00:37:06Go blow your opportunity and go on a wild goose chase.
00:37:08You want to help him go down there tomorrow morning,
00:37:11but right now you're supposed to be at Jack's.
00:37:12They're waiting.
00:37:14And if you don't go, there's a dozen clear-knife players waiting for that job.
00:37:19All right, Nancy.
00:37:21You're right.
00:37:22Let's go.
00:37:25Tom.
00:37:27I'm sorry about all this.
00:37:28I said you were right.
00:37:29Now let's forget it.
00:37:31Well, I'll drop in later and see how it goes.
00:37:34Okay.
00:37:35Let's go.
00:37:52This fellow, Tom, if you find him, will he stand up for you so you can stay here?
00:37:57I know he will.
00:37:59Then we'll find him.
00:38:01In the morning we'll go to the musicians' union.
00:38:03They'll have a list.
00:38:04You see, I needed somebody like you with brains.
00:38:10Some brains.
00:38:11Look at me.
00:38:12Look at the way I live.
00:38:17This crummy room.
00:38:19Crummy?
00:38:20Why crummy?
00:38:24It's a very good room.
00:38:27And all by yourself.
00:38:31How many nights I've slept on the grounds.
00:38:35All crowded in with 30, 40 people.
00:38:40If I had a room like this for myself, I would feel rich.
00:38:47We look at things differently, I guess.
00:38:50Eh, what I had to do just to stay alive.
00:38:56Tonight, I saw food in a window.
00:39:00Where I come from, men would kill each other for such food.
00:39:05You know, I never had an orange since I was a child.
00:39:12They won't send you back, Peter.
00:39:14We'll manage something together.
00:39:18Maggie.
00:39:19Hey, Maggie.
00:39:20It's Eddie, the landlady's son.
00:39:22I know you're in there.
00:39:24Ma told me.
00:39:25Go away, Eddie.
00:39:26Let a girl sleep.
00:39:27I'll just stay a minute.
00:39:29I've been fighting him off for weeks.
00:39:32I'm in bed, Eddie.
00:39:33See me in the morning.
00:39:34Oh, that's no way.
00:39:36I got a present for you.
00:39:37Thanks.
00:39:38In the morning.
00:39:39I'm coming in.
00:39:40I got a passkey.
00:39:42Better talk with him.
00:39:44Let me get something on, Eddie.
00:39:47I'm coming in.
00:39:54I just got in off my run.
00:39:56I figured we'd have a little drink together.
00:39:58I'll leave you the bottle.
00:39:59I'm dead for sleep, Eddie.
00:40:01Leave the bottle, and I'll invite you up tomorrow.
00:40:04You're up now.
00:40:08Where's your southern hospitality?
00:40:23Ain't you going to get me a glass?
00:40:28I don't keep my glasses in the clothes closet, Eddie.
00:40:31Yeah, sometimes I'm awful dumb.
00:40:35It was real friendly of you to think of me, Eddie.
00:40:38I'm a real friendly guy.
00:40:39Yeah.
00:40:40I told you I liked you.
00:40:50You know, I've had a yin for you ever since you first moved in.
00:40:55I guess you know that.
00:40:56Yeah.
00:40:57You told me.
00:41:00But why don't you be nice, and let me get some sleep.
00:41:02And maybe tomorrow.
00:41:03Why don't you be nice?
00:41:04Please, Eddie.
00:41:05What's the matter?
00:41:06Am I poisoning something?
00:41:07Of course not.
00:41:07It's just that...
00:41:08The old lady said you gave her some dough.
00:41:10I could fix things up with the old witch.
00:41:12Please, Eddie.
00:41:13Oh, come on, kid.
00:41:14You and me could have lots of laughs.
00:41:15I'm making real dough these days.
00:41:16Cut it out, Eddie, or I'll yell for your mother.
00:41:18Oh, don't pull that hi-hat stuff on me.
00:41:21Oh, a little tiger, eh?
00:41:23I like tigers.
00:41:26Let go of her.
00:41:30So, my old lady was right.
00:41:32He did have a guy up here.
00:41:34I thought I could bring him out.
00:41:35I'm pretty smart.
00:41:37Oh, Eddie, why don't you be nice as I...
00:41:38Get up, you little tramp.
00:42:01Come on, kid, get up.
00:42:05Come on.
00:42:10Hey, what have you been up to?
00:42:16Eddie!
00:42:21What'd I do to you?
00:42:24And look at this room.
00:42:27Hey.
00:42:29Hey.
00:42:31That's him.
00:42:32That's the guy that just bopped you.
00:42:35Get up, you dumb oxen.
00:42:37Phone the cops.
00:42:39Cops?
00:42:41Yeah.
00:42:44I want him to be questioning our charge of assault
00:42:47with intent to kill.
00:42:48Peter Kuban, age 25, 6 feet 2, 170 pounds, black hair, dark eyes.
00:42:55Last seen with a girl named Maggie Summers.
00:42:575 feet 6, green eyes, blonde.
00:43:00Kuban also was warned by immigration department for illegal entry.
00:43:03This man is dangerous.
00:43:05Approached with caution.
00:43:06May be armed.
00:43:07That complicates things.
00:43:11I'd better contact the police.
00:43:35I'd better contact the police.
00:43:37Who's right?
00:43:54Move it away!
00:43:55Come on, see.
00:43:55Come on, man.
00:43:58Come on.
00:43:58Come on.
00:44:41There's an emergency hospital near here.
00:44:43They were the report to the police.
00:44:45You don't even know how bad you're hurt.
00:44:47How long do you think you can walk around with those busted ribs?
00:44:50Till I find Tom.
00:45:03You can't take much more. You've got to get off the streets.
00:45:06But where?
00:45:09You got any money?
00:45:10No.
00:45:13Seven dollars was every cent you had.
00:45:27You wait here. I'll be right back.
00:45:51Make them pay, Louie. Make them pay.
00:46:22I'll be right back.
00:46:25Come on. Lift it up.
00:46:28I've seen some dough roll over here.
00:46:31What are you talking about?
00:46:32The money. The geetus. The scratch.
00:46:34Pick it up. Come on.
00:46:37What you're clowning?
00:46:39Hit the road.
00:46:41Get off our money. Soccer, Louie. Go on. Soccer.
00:46:44You do and I yell for the cops.
00:46:46I ought to belt you.
00:46:48You're going to leave or am I going to yell?
00:46:49You got a license to block this sidewalk?
00:46:51Gee, Louie. We don't want to get pinched.
00:46:53Come on. Let her have the lousy dough. Come on.
00:46:56Crook. Cradle robber.
00:46:58I hope you get hit with a garbage truck.
00:47:19You stole from those children.
00:47:23Look, you want to stay alive or don't you?
00:47:28Maggie, Maggie.
00:47:31These two dimes will give you a chance to rest until morning.
00:47:34Then we'll go to the union and find your Tom.
00:47:38Two dimes for your hotel room?
00:47:42Two dimes. You can get in the subway and ride all night.
00:47:48Many people sleep in the subway?
00:47:50Not many.
00:47:52Only a few busted suckers like us.
00:47:54One of my daughters.
00:48:23is wanted on charge of assault and battery.
00:48:26If you see him, call your nearest police precinct station.
00:48:31His name is Peter Coupin.
00:48:33He's six feet, two inches tall, speaks with an accent.
00:48:37Black hair, brown eyes.
00:48:40If you see him, call your nearest police precinct station.
00:49:06That key guard, he sure can't play that horn, can he?
00:49:23He's really got it.
00:50:03Tom, what are you doing?
00:50:04I can't sit there any longer.
00:50:08If there's some way I can help that guy, I'm gonna find out about it.
00:50:13But you might throw this job and go down there and nothing.
00:50:17Well, it was his life or mine. He didn't ask any questions.
00:50:19He just did what he had to do. That's why I'm alive.
00:50:22Tom!
00:50:36That's him. Over there.
00:51:01Great.
00:51:02How are you going to get a little bird? Wait!
00:51:35And you want us to believe you let Kuban come up to your room only because he was tired?
00:51:39I don't care what you believe. You want to make a federal case, you go ahead.
00:51:46We just want the facts.
00:51:48His side was caved in. He was bleeding. I tried to help him. Is that a crime?
00:51:53No.
00:51:55You didn't know he was a fugitive?
00:51:57You think that would have made any difference?
00:52:00He's the first guy I met in my life treating me decent.
00:52:04Why do you keep hounding him?
00:52:06We've got an assault charge against him.
00:52:09But if you're telling the truth, maybe you can beat the ref.
00:52:12You won't get him. He'll run and hide and run and hide until he drops.
00:52:17He said he'd die before they'd send him back. He means it.
00:52:20She's right, Lieutenant.
00:52:22When he saved my life in Germany, we hid in a haystack.
00:52:25A Nazi soldier jabbed his bayonet through the hay right into Peter's shoulder.
00:52:30He didn't make a sound.
00:52:32He knew that any noise would give us away.
00:52:35Bayonet scar on the right shoulder.
00:52:37What was that?
00:52:39Oh, I was just remembering something he told us.
00:52:43Well, I'm convinced his story's true.
00:52:46Now, if we can find him before seven, and you back him up as his sponsor, he has a chance.
00:52:51Why before seven?
00:52:53Well, that's when the ship he jumped leaves port.
00:52:55And if he's not in custody by then, he's a fugitive from justice.
00:52:59And he'll face a jail term and deportation.
00:53:02That's the law?
00:53:04That's the law.
00:53:05We've got to find him.
00:53:08Will you put out another bulletin to all police cars, Lieutenant?
00:53:11Right away.
00:53:12It's 3.30 now.
00:53:13You two had better come with me.
00:53:21Come on in and see the police circus.
00:53:25101 amusements.

00:58:09Okay, Tanya. Right with you.
00:58:13Big day, Tanya?
00:58:14You kidding? I'm beat. Seven ways to Dixie.
00:58:27I'm beat.
00:59:02Bulls, Monroe.
00:59:06Before you take me home,
00:59:08I want you to take me to the 54th Street police station.
00:59:10Police station?
00:59:12Just do as I say.
00:59:14Take me to the 54th Street police station.
00:59:50Watch this guy.
00:59:51See that he don't get away.
00:59:52I'll just be in the station for a minute.
01:00:13Tanya, you know I'm a sensitive type personality.
01:00:15What cooks with the sleeper hay?
01:00:17Or tell me it's none of my business.
01:00:19So I'll tell you.
01:00:20It's none of your business.
01:00:32Relax, fellow.
01:00:33Just relax.
01:00:52Oh, this is it.
01:00:54Well, come on.
01:00:56It's OK.
01:01:00It's not very fancy, is it?
01:01:02It's nice.
01:01:03It's all right.
01:01:04It's very nice.
01:01:06Mmm.
01:01:06I smell something.
01:01:10Oh, goulash.
01:01:11My mother always has something cooking no matter what time I get home.
01:01:16Mmm.
01:01:17You'll like this.
01:01:19Hey, you're in bad shape.
01:01:22You better sit down.
01:01:23No.
01:01:24Better you should lay down until I get everything ready.
01:01:26Later, you can tell me the whole story.
01:01:29Well, don't be bashful.
01:01:30We're just hunkies like you.
01:01:32They call me Tanya.
01:01:33But you know what's my real name?
01:01:35Bella Sequoia.
01:01:36That's a Lulu, ain't it?
01:01:38Now, come on.
01:01:45Down and take off your coat.
01:01:46Down and take off your coat.
01:01:56Don't worry about them.
01:01:58Nothing bothers them.
01:01:59They sleep like rocks.
01:02:08Cute brats, ain't they?
01:02:10Beautiful.
01:02:11Just like my husband.
01:02:13A no good tramp.
01:02:15Married me for a meal ticket.
01:02:17I kicked him out a couple of years ago.
01:02:19Now, I'll wake you when everything's ready.
01:02:23Just don't worry, relax, fella.
01:02:25Say, you look like you could stand something in your belly.
01:02:27But I must tell you, the immigration officers are looking for me.
01:02:32So let them look.
01:02:33I know about it.
01:02:35Why do you help me?
01:02:36Why?
01:02:38I don't know.
01:02:40Maybe because I'm just a big-hearted slob.
01:02:43Maybe because you, you're a good-looking Hungarian.
01:02:46I got a soft spot in my heart for Hungarians.
01:02:48Especially good-looking ones.
01:02:51Bella.
01:02:51This man.
01:02:53Smile.
01:02:54Bella.
01:02:55What's with this man?
01:02:57A Hungarian boy in big trouble.
01:03:00Boy, one, one.
01:03:02Me, oh, boy.
01:03:04Old Vastedman.
01:03:06Oh, here, Mama.
01:03:07Read it for yourself.
01:03:07Okay.
01:03:14What did you do, Shaggy-Tanny Reuter?
01:03:18I don't know.
01:03:19Maybe tomorrow we'll see a lawyer.
01:03:21Right now, he needs rest and food.
01:03:23Food we can give.
01:03:27Bella.
01:03:28Help.
01:03:29Cut some bread.
01:03:31Oh, Mom, pooped.
01:03:35Dancing, they call it.
01:03:37Ah, what a way to make a buck.
01:03:40You know who I ought to marry?
01:03:41A chiropractor.
01:03:55Bella.
01:03:56Hmm?
01:03:57This young man.
01:03:58Maybe he did something bad.
01:04:01A crime.
01:04:03You leave him here in with the babies.
01:04:06Oh, Mom, not that dumb.
01:04:08I stopped off at the police station and checked.
01:04:11He didn't do nothing.
01:04:12Just jumped off a boat.
01:04:14Once he get in this country, and they won't let him.
01:04:16That's all.
01:04:17You are a good girl, Bella.
01:04:20Could you bring him home?
01:04:22Now go and bring him in.
01:04:24Everything is ready.
01:04:25Okay.
01:04:28Uh-oh.
01:04:29Freddy.
01:04:30He ain't gonna like it.
01:04:32Never mind.
01:04:34Freddy's my son.
01:04:35He ain't so bad, as you always say.
01:04:38Yeah.
01:04:40Hi, Mom.
01:04:41What's cooking?
01:04:42Hello, Freddy.
01:04:44What's with you, Tanya?
01:04:46Why the fish eye?
01:04:47Nothing.
01:04:48You want I should jump up and kiss you?
01:04:49Why not?
01:04:50You ought to be proud of your brother tonight.
01:04:52How much do you think I raked in?
01:04:56How much?
01:04:58A million dollars.
01:05:01Go ahead, laugh.
01:05:02Someday I'll do it, kid.
01:05:03Then the laugh will be on you.
01:05:09Fifty fish, Ma.
01:05:10And it was easier shooting herring in a bathtub.
01:05:15Two suckers from out of town.
01:05:17I ran into him in Nicky's bar, you see?
01:05:19And before he could say hocus pocus, upstairs to Randy's layout.
01:05:23They dropped more than a grand.
01:05:24Yeah.
01:05:25This is my cut.
01:05:27And for this, you had to go two years to Peter Stuyvesant's high school, huh?
01:05:32To learn the odds, the percentages.
01:05:35Huh, sister?
01:05:36Huh?
01:05:40Hey, you want to eat, get your own plate.
01:05:43But who's it for?
01:05:44You tell her, Ma.
01:05:48Freddie, Bella...
01:05:49Ma, Ma, will you talk English?
01:05:51You know I don't go for this hunky jabber.
01:05:55There is a young Hungarian fellow who is in trouble.
01:06:00Bella brought him home.
01:06:02He is...
01:06:03Here, my educated son.
01:06:06Read.
01:06:07Read.
01:06:14You're kidding.
01:06:15Nobody's kidding.
01:06:17He's in there resting.
01:06:19I'm gonna wake him up to eat.
01:06:21Now try to act like somebody else.
01:06:22Be nice.
01:06:25Are you nuts?
01:06:27Are you both nuts?
01:06:28Nobody's nuts in such a big trap.
01:06:29You don't know what you're doing.
01:06:30The federal cops are after him.
01:06:31The local guys, too.
01:06:32So what?
01:06:33So we don't want them snooping around here.
01:06:34That's what.
01:06:34Speak for yourself.
01:06:35Ma and me, we ain't been breaking no laws.
01:06:37Yeah?
01:06:37You think they're gonna kiss you for hiding this creep?
01:06:39Look.
01:06:39You get him up and out of here.
01:06:40I'll do it.
01:06:40Right now.
01:06:41Listen, I'm paying the right around here.
01:06:42Not you, my sweet little brother.
01:06:43I'm just getting started.
01:06:44Mom, you tell her.
01:06:45I don't want no cops investigating.
01:06:46You get rid of that guy.
01:06:47If you keep your mouth shut, nobody'll know he's here.
01:06:49Yeah?
01:06:50What about the kids?
01:06:50I suppose you'll tape their mouths up so the neighbors won't know anything about it, huh?
01:06:53Damn you, Freddy!
01:06:54I'll knock your blot off!
01:06:55Shut up!
01:06:55Ma, you got more sense than this.
01:06:57What business we got with this guy anyway?
01:06:59They got to the United Nations for things like this, ain't they?
01:07:01Why don't he go to the UN?
01:07:02Didn't the UN help you bring over your cousin, Frank?
01:07:04All right.
01:07:05Tomorrow we'll take him to the UN building and find out.
01:07:08Right now he's sick and he needs rest.
01:07:09And he's staying here.
01:07:10Over my dead body.
01:07:11I'll take care of him right now.
01:07:13Ma, you should have drowned him when he was a baby.
01:07:15Let go.
01:07:15If you think you can stop me, you're crazy.
01:07:17I'm going to bounce this bum out of here right now.
01:07:20I ain't taking no rap for a lousy foreigner.
01:07:27Don't forget.
01:07:29Your dead father was a lousy foreigner.
01:07:34Go on.
01:07:36Bring him in.
01:07:37And I don't want to hear one more word.
01:07:53Just a two味 of Chat.

01:09:19Oh, you mean the United Nations building.
01:09:21Yes.
01:09:22That's way down 41st Street.
01:09:23It's a big, tall building with a glass wall.
01:09:26You better take a cab.
01:10:13It's 6 o'clock.

01:10:51The woman spotted him, waitress on her way to work.
01:10:54Just phoned the police.
01:10:56Said she recognized this man from the television last night.
01:10:58Where'd you see him?
01:10:59First Avenue near 44th going south.
01:11:02They're covering that section.
01:11:44She was wearing on the street.
01:11:45She was wearing on her way, while I was on her to shoot.
01:11:51The full-time wrestling installation is War her first place.
01:11:51Denn she never wears on the wrong way to figure it off.
01:11:57The当 touts Great City are wearing as a 메이크업.

01:13:19There he is.
01:13:40Stop, Kuban, stop!
01:13:59We're after that man.
01:14:00He's an escape-departee.

01:14:46Somebody!
01:14:48Somebody!
01:14:50Listen!
01:14:54You come here to bring peace to the world, but what is the world?
01:15:02As long as there is one man who can't walk free where he wants.
01:15:08As long as there is one displaced person without home, there won't be peace.
01:15:16Because to each man is the world.
01:15:30Nobody listens.
01:15:32Listen.
01:15:36Listen.
01:15:37Listen.
01:16:03Listen.

01:18:12You're all right, Peter. You're all right.
01:18:15Meg.
01:18:17Tom.
01:18:20You found me.
01:18:23I was looking for you, and you found me.
01:18:32You're not going back, Pete. I'll back you up. You're going to stay here.
01:18:48You're going to stay here.
01:18:49I'm going to stay here.
01:18:49It was a little less than you came here.
01:18:51And a dollar can't help me.
01:18:52I'll go back it out later.
01:18:52No, he is going to stay here.
01:18:53As a result.
01:19:06You have to take the house now.
