00:00:15Look, mister, I never saw you before. I never did anything to you.
00:00:19Oh, no, no! No, no, no!
00:00:20No, please, I never did anything to anybody to deserve to.
00:00:23Help! Help! Help me! I'm burning!

00:01:21Nothing is accomplished by prayer alone.
00:01:48We need two things to build the Sunday School Annex, the Lord's blessing and your contributions.
00:01:55The Lord has done his part, now let us see you do yours.
00:02:03While Deacon Thatcher and his assistant selection trays, we will be honored by Master Herman Barker,
00:02:10who will render Rock of Ages on his violin.

00:03:30Well, Ma, how did you like our little surprise?
00:03:32I was never so disgusted in my life. It sounded like a cat gargling razor blades.
00:03:37I thought Herman played very well.
00:03:39I did. I didn't miss a note.
00:03:41And you didn't miss showing this town that we're raising a weakling.
00:03:44I was against wasting money on fiddle lessons. We need it for other things.
00:03:48Music will give him character.
00:03:50It's making a sissy out of him and nothing disgusts me more than a sissy.
00:03:53I ain't a sissy, Ma. I can clobber any kid my size around here.
00:03:58Did you ever clobber anyone?
00:04:00No.
00:04:02But I could if I wanted to.
00:04:04Herman isn't a sissy. He's strong as the other life.
00:04:07Show him, boys.
00:04:09Where did you get these?
00:04:16Out of the collection plate.
00:04:18Without anyone being the wiser. That took guts.
00:04:21How long has this been going on?
00:04:24Oh, a couple of weeks. It was their own idea.
00:04:26I thought it was kind of cute. Pretty slick, eh, Pop?
00:04:29Last week we got over a dollar.
00:04:32What kind of a mother are you? Letting your son steal from church?
00:04:36Not letting them, George. Encouraging them.
00:04:39It's going to stop.
00:04:40No, it's going to continue.
00:04:42Because I've decided that's the only way they'll ever have anything.
00:04:45What can you give them?
00:04:47An education.
00:04:48An education. You had one. What good did it do you?
00:04:50Oh, I live a decent life.
00:04:52A decent life?
00:04:53Do you call patch pants, darn stockings, and this runnin' down flea bag a decent life?
00:04:58Well, we're in a depression. Things will get better.
00:05:01You bet they will. Because I'm teaching my kids to take what they want.
00:05:04I'd rather they were fiddle players than crooks.
00:05:07Fiddle players?
00:05:10Ma, they'll be fiddle players over my dead body.
00:05:14Go practice on that.
00:05:17Pop, look what you've done.
00:05:21Are you going to let her get away with that?
00:05:24He's just like you, a sissy that won't fight back.
00:05:29I tell you, there's only one thing that's worth anything in this world, and that's guts!
00:05:33I'm aiming to teach my kids to show plenty of it!
00:05:38Lloyd, you get over by that box office and whistle if you see anybody comin'.
00:05:55Gotcha.
00:05:56Herman, you get the money.
00:05:59How come I gotta swipe the money?
00:06:02Because that's the way Ma planned it.
00:06:04And if you don't do what she says, she's gonna beat the tar out of you.
00:06:07I don't care. I don't wanna do it.
00:06:10All right, Deb. I'll do it.
00:06:13You do my job. Let's get going.
00:06:23Oh, the moon shines bright tonight on pretty red ring.
00:06:28Oh, the moon shines bright on pretty red ring.
00:06:35Charlie, will you stop kickin' around here and hit the hay?
00:06:38We gotta pull out of here tomorrow.
00:06:40Yes, sir. Reach right up there in that old sky and got me a whole handful of that moon.
00:06:45Yes, sir. I'm loaded with moonshine.
00:06:48Will you shut up and go to bed or I'll can you?
00:06:51Right here on the spot.
00:06:52What?
00:06:53Oh, the moon shines bright on pretty red ring.
00:06:55Mm-hmm.
00:06:56Right on pretty red ring.
00:06:57Mm-hmm.
00:06:58Right on pretty red ring.
00:06:59Let's go.
00:07:25Charlie!
00:07:26Charlie, turn off that merry-go-round!
00:07:44Hey, you little crook! Come back here with that dough!
00:07:56Let's go!
00:08:26Let's go.
00:08:56Oh, where are you taking me?
00:08:58To jail. Maybe the sheriff can get it out of you who that other kid was.
00:09:03Gee, you think Herman will blab? He's kind of chicken.
00:09:06I don't know, but we better get home and tell Mom.
00:09:08Yeah.
00:09:18Honey, why is it we're always at each other's throats?
00:09:23I don't know.
00:09:24I guess we just think differently.
00:09:33We didn't used to.
00:09:36No.
00:09:38We were something special.
00:09:40What's that?
00:09:46It must be the boys coming home.
00:09:47Coming home at this hour in the morning?
00:09:49Katie, what's going on here?
00:09:52Tomorrow's a school day.
00:09:53Why don't you leave my boys to me?
00:09:55We got the loot, Mom.
00:10:03We were lucky.
00:10:05We didn't get caught.
00:10:09What, Carney? What loot?
00:10:11When did you get the cash box?
00:10:12Will you shut up and let me handle this?
00:10:14Where's Herman now?
00:10:15The sheriff dragged him to jail.
00:10:16You mean Herman let himself get caught?
00:10:19Carter was too fast for him.
00:10:20The sheriff's got him now.
00:10:23Lousy 56 bucks.
00:10:26Chicken feet.
00:10:27Did you know about this, Ma?
00:10:29Well, of course I knew about it.
00:10:30I cased the set up and helped him plan it.
00:10:32For the love of heaven, Ma, what are you making out of our boys?
00:10:37I ain't got time to argue with you now.
00:10:39I've got to get down to that sheriff's office and get Herman out.
00:10:43That's stealing.
00:10:44Just as sure as there's a God in heaven, Ma,
00:10:46you're going to be struck down for what you're teaching our sons.
00:10:50Ah, shut up.
00:10:51You're not going to town in that get-up.
00:10:54Well, what else would have worried Mother Weir when she reports her kidnapped son?
00:10:58To the police.
00:10:58Oh.
00:11:02Pop, can we go on and watch the fun?
00:11:08You boys get to bed.
00:11:09Oh, come on, Pop.
00:11:10Let's catch the fun.
00:11:11Get to bed.
00:11:19You should have asked Ma.
00:11:21She wears a pants in the family.
00:11:25It's all a mistake, Ma.
00:11:28This guy says I was in on a heist.
00:11:30A heist?
00:11:31What is that?
00:11:33You know, Ma.
00:11:34Stealing.
00:11:36My goodness, I hope you don't think my boys have been stealing.
00:11:39That's right, lady.
00:11:41Where are your other boys, Mrs. Barker?
00:11:43Why, they're home at bed, of course.
00:11:46Been there all night?
00:11:47Why, certainly they have.
00:11:49They're growing boys, and I insist that they get to bed every night at 8.30.
00:11:52I don't know what got into Herman wandering around so late at night like this.
00:11:58How'd you know he'd be here?
00:12:00Well, I didn't know.
00:12:01I went into his room to see if he was covered up.
00:12:04He's had the sniffles, you know.
00:12:06And he was gone.
00:12:08Not having a phone, and not knowing which way to turn.
00:12:11And I came running down here to see if you could help me.
00:12:13Look, Sheriff, I'm out 150 bucks, and I want you to do something about it.
00:12:19My goodness, it don't seem like that carnival took in that much business.
00:12:22How would you know, lady?
00:12:24That'll be enough, you two.
00:12:25Mrs. Barker, it's beginning to look like your boy is mixed up in the theft of this man's money.
00:12:31Why, I don't see how that could be.
00:12:33My boys raise my sons, to be honest, and God's there, and...
00:12:38Why, they go to church every Sunday.
00:12:40I'm not interested in whether they go to church or not, Mrs. Barker.
00:12:44Fact of the matter is, your boys are under suspicion for several other robberies around here.
00:12:49That's a lie!
00:12:50That's a fact, Mrs. Barker.
00:12:51And if I hear about they're being mixed up in anything else around here,
00:12:55I'm going to run you and your brute right out of town.
00:12:58Well, talk about police persecution.
00:13:01You're nothing more than...
00:13:02That'll be all, Mrs. Barker.
00:13:03Now take your brat and get out of here.
00:13:06You're going to prosecute this little crook?
00:13:08On the evidence you've given me?
00:13:10What about this kid starting up my merry-go-round?
00:13:14Oh, by the way, my good man,
00:13:17here's a quarter for my boy's ride.
00:13:19I don't want you to think I'm ungrateful.
00:13:21Come along, sweetheart.
00:13:33What did I do, Ma?
00:13:35What did I do?
00:13:35You're numbskull.
00:13:36You got caught.
00:13:37That's what you did.
00:13:38Doc was supposed to start the merry-go-round,
00:13:40and you were supposed to take the money.
00:13:42I was scared, Ma.
00:13:43Next time, don't try to change plans.
00:13:45I won't, Ma.
00:13:46Honest.
00:13:46Don't get caught.
00:13:48Understand?
00:13:49Don't get caught.
00:13:50Don't worry, Ma.
00:13:53I won't ever again.
00:14:02Better not let Ma catch you with that fiddle.
00:14:05She said I could have it.
00:14:07She even said I could have a new one.
00:14:09Yeah, if you've got enough guts to steal the money to get it.
00:14:11All right, boys, time for school.
00:14:15Oh, Ma, we got to go to school?
00:14:17Of course you do.
00:14:18You could write the principal were sick.
00:14:20Let him think my kids are sickly.
00:14:22You could write that Grandma was dead.
00:14:25Grandma was buried ten years ago.
00:14:30So what?
00:14:31We could dig her up and have another funeral.
00:14:33That ain't funny.
00:14:35Ouch!
00:14:37This story in the newspaper isn't very funny either.
00:14:42Thieves broke into the office of the Wilder Carnival last night
00:14:45and made off with over $300.
00:14:48A cheapskate.
00:14:50Herman Barker, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Barker.
00:14:54You're famous!
00:14:55There it is in black and white for the whole town to see.
00:14:58Well, what's wrong with that?
00:15:00It says here they didn't have enough evidence.
00:15:03That sheriff can't pin anything on my boys.
00:15:05Herman is innocent.
00:15:12I've had enough of this.
00:15:14I'm going to give you boys a whipping that's long overdue.
00:15:18I'll show you who's head of this house.
00:15:22Look out!
00:15:28Katie, we're going to have an understanding right now.
00:15:33You bet we are.
00:15:35We're going to decide which way our boys are going.
00:15:38I've already decided.
00:15:40The way you're leading, they'll all wind up in prison.
00:15:42Not my boys.
00:15:44But if I have to choose between dying in prison
00:15:46or dying in the poorhouse,
00:15:48there's not much choice between them.
00:15:50I've already decided.
00:15:58Katie, what makes you so hard?
00:16:01What makes you so dead set against law and order?
00:16:04It's not the law I hate.
00:16:06Living my whole life and growing old
00:16:09and dying and never having anything
00:16:12or seeing anything or being anything.
00:16:16There's millions like us.
00:16:17No, I neither, ain't.
00:16:19I growed up in a family of ten kids.
00:16:22Wormy corn-poned, watered gravy.
00:16:25Katie, the Bible says man does not live by bread alone,
00:16:29but by...
00:16:29Stop it!
00:16:31That's why I was always so scrawny.
00:16:33Too much Bible and too little beef.
00:16:36Too many psalms and too little sow belly.
00:16:42I was sick of the litter.
00:16:44When I did get any guesses,
00:16:46they was faded from washing
00:16:48and worn from wearing
00:16:50with frizzly hems from too much letting down.
00:16:53My toes played this little piggy
00:16:57through every cheap pair of cotton stockings I ever had.
00:17:03George, did you ever wear bloomers?
00:17:07Katie, we're talking about the boys.
00:17:10I'm talking about bloomers.
00:17:13My bloomers!
00:17:14And my playmate used to love
00:17:23to shove me down on the playground
00:17:25so my dress would fly up
00:17:26and you could see
00:17:28old homestead flower
00:17:30written across my violin!
00:17:35A girl doesn't forget those things.
00:17:37Katie,
00:17:45the soul can rise above
00:17:47any pain or shame.
00:17:49Oh, you mealy mouther.
00:17:52What good's a soul
00:17:53without a body
00:17:54to carry it around in?
00:17:56When the body needs food
00:17:58and food takes money
00:18:00and how much money
00:18:02do you bring into this house?
00:18:04Jobs are scarce.
00:18:12The boys can steal more
00:18:14than one week
00:18:15than you can make in a month.
00:18:18Money isn't everything.
00:18:21Every time you do
00:18:23get a few bucks a head,
00:18:24you spend it on some stupid thing
00:18:26like a book
00:18:27or a dog
00:18:28or fiddle lessons!
00:18:30There's nothing disgraceful
00:18:31about being poor.
00:18:33Some of our greatest Americans
00:18:34came from poverty.
00:18:36Take Abraham Lincoln.
00:18:37If I ever take a Lincoln
00:18:38it won't be an Abraham.
00:18:40It'll be a 16-cylinder job
00:18:41that'll take me out
00:18:42of this place
00:18:42at night, keep her!
00:18:48You wanted an understanding
00:18:50where you're gonna get it.
00:18:52We don't need your ticket, Pete.
00:18:54We don't need you.
00:18:57So why don't you beat it?
00:18:58Why don't you take your things
00:18:59and get out of here?
00:19:03Take me with you.
00:19:13Please.
00:19:15Son,
00:19:16I'll send for you.
00:19:22Now.
00:19:25You say the Chinaman
00:19:26keeps his money here
00:19:27on the flow of the laundry?
00:19:28Yeah, Ma.
00:19:29It's in the barrel.
00:19:30Barrel?
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:32You should hear him.
00:19:33Every time we go in there
00:19:34he says,
00:19:36When barrel's eatful,
00:19:38no more lonely.
00:19:39Me go back to a China.
00:19:43Oh, I got news
00:19:44for that Chinaman.
00:19:45He ain't going nowhere.
00:19:48Now let's be serious.
00:19:49Well, boys, I...
00:20:10Always say goodbye to your father.
00:20:13Won't be seeing you.
00:20:14Have a good trip.
00:20:15Don't take any wooden nickels.
00:20:17You're just running us out of town
00:20:33because we're poor.
00:20:35I'm running you out of town,
00:20:36Mrs. Barker,
00:20:36because you robbed the Chinaman,
00:20:38but I can't prove it.
00:20:39Why, you're worse than a Bolsheviki.
00:20:42Just wait till I write
00:20:43my congressman about you.
00:20:45Denying the rights
00:20:46of an honest citizen.
00:20:48A poor widow woman at that.
00:20:50Where'll we go?
00:20:52I don't know, Mrs. Barker,
00:20:53but the further the better.
00:20:54And don't you come back,
00:20:55because if you do,
00:20:56I'll put you and your whole brood in jail.
00:20:59Sticks and stones
00:21:00may break our bones.
00:21:04Names will never hurt us.
00:21:05And so we drove into a future
00:21:20unprejudiced against childish pranks.
00:21:23Years passed,
00:21:24and my boys grew into fine young men.
00:21:27How was the rehearsal, Ma?
00:21:32Lloyd, it was lousy.
00:21:35Ma, are we going to do the job tomorrow?
00:21:37No, Doc, we're too rusty.
00:21:38We're going to rehearse it
00:21:39a few more times.
00:21:41Oh, Ma, look,
00:21:42I'm tired of rehearsing.
00:21:44Herman, you need it the most.
00:21:51As the armored car reaches this point,
00:21:54I come tearing out of here
00:21:55like I'm out of control.
00:21:56I cut in ahead of him.
00:21:58And the guards kill you
00:21:58with machine gun fire.
00:22:00Now, who'd shoot an innocent old lady
00:22:02all alone in her car
00:22:04before they have recovered
00:22:05from their surprise?
00:22:06Herman cuts in behind
00:22:07and blocks them.
00:22:08I jump out
00:22:09and shoot tear gas
00:22:10through that side port.
00:22:11When that front guard opens up,
00:22:13I let him have it.
00:22:14Fine.
00:22:15Herman?
00:22:16Well, I come down the other side.
00:22:18When the driver gets out...
00:22:22Go on.
00:22:25Well, I knock him out.
00:22:26You kill him, Herman.
00:22:30And don't chicken out.
00:22:33Don't you worry about Herman.
00:22:34He may be squeamish,
00:22:35but he always does his part.
00:22:37Lloyd?
00:22:38I stay in the second car
00:22:40and drop the guard
00:22:40when he unbuttons the rear door.
00:22:42What if he doesn't open up, Doc?
00:22:44I grab the guard's keys,
00:22:46unlock the rear door,
00:22:47swing it open,
00:22:47and jump back.
00:22:49I spare the inside
00:22:50with a full clip.
00:22:51Us boys grab the money.
00:22:52And we make our getaway
00:22:54as planned and rehearsed.
00:22:55You do not have to go to ÀCanááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááá
00:23:25Oh, my God.
00:23:55Shoot him, Herman! Shoot him, Herman!
00:24:17No!
00:24:25Hello, Central? There's a hold-up. Machine guns and everything. Right out there.
00:24:43Townsendland, then. Madison!
00:24:46Hurt! Give us a hand!
00:24:52Give him a hand!
00:24:54Give him a hand!
00:24:56I can't, Ma. You shake it like a thief.
00:24:59I said give him a hand!

00:28:43Doc might spend it on dames.
00:28:45Lloyd might throw a party.
00:28:47And you haven't got the nerve to do anything
00:28:49left when I tell you.
00:28:50Well, look, Ma.
00:28:51Ten grand, that makes Fred a little expensive
00:28:53and leaves us a little short, don't it?
00:28:55No, Fred.
00:28:56This is chicken feed to what we're gonna get.
00:28:58You're planning a big one, Ma?
00:29:00Yep.
00:29:01And I'll tell you about it when I get good and ready.
00:29:04Now, I gotta write Freddy
00:29:06and let him know he's getting sprung.
00:29:13OK.
00:29:22OK.
00:29:23OK.
00:29:43You'd rather play with the mouse and read the letter from home?
00:29:46It ain't a mouse, it's a hamster.
00:29:49Read the letter. Might be good news.
00:29:57Chicken ship.
00:29:59Connections.
00:30:01Put it away.
00:30:04Read the letter.
00:30:06Here.
00:30:12Al.
00:30:13Al, I'm getting sprung.
00:30:16Ma's already put up the money.
00:30:18I wish I had a ma like that.
00:30:20She's throwing a big blow off at me when I get home.
00:30:23I'll be there.
00:30:25Stop dreaming, you got two years to go.
00:30:28Aye, Alvin Carpiss, they shorten your hitch for digging coal.
00:30:31All the coal you could dig, I could stick in my ear.
00:30:34I got organization.
00:30:36The lifers are digging for me.
00:30:38They're not going anywhere.
00:30:40I slip them.
00:30:41Candy.
00:30:43Cigarettes.
00:30:45Money.
00:30:47Al, I'd like you.
00:30:49You got brains.
00:30:51Yeah, pretty.
00:30:54But more important than brains...
00:31:02Guts.
00:31:04What'd you do that for?
00:31:06Everything squeals when it dies.
00:31:09Pigs, calves, people.
00:31:14I never heard a hamster squeal.
00:31:18Yeah.
00:31:20Like I said...
00:31:22Ma like you real good.
00:31:23Ma, what's Machine Gun Kelly doing coming here anyway?
00:31:24Well, it seems Dillinger and Babyface Nelson did a pretty good job.
00:31:37So Kelly wants me to plan a kidnap.
00:31:39A kidnap?
00:31:41That's crazy, Ma.
00:31:43The FBI, they'll ring us out like disrains.
00:31:44Oh, we don't handle the body.
00:31:46Kelly takes that risk.
00:31:48Well, that's different.
00:31:52Hey, uh...
00:31:54You suppose he'll bring that living doll of a girlfriend with him?
00:31:56Now you lay off her.
00:31:57She's ten cents a yard material.
00:32:00But beautiful.
00:32:01But stupid.
00:32:02But beautiful.
00:32:03But stupid!
00:32:04Now lay off her!
00:32:05No games!
00:32:06Honey, why give our good money to an old bag?
00:32:17I've already planned the deal.
00:32:19Ma's the best in the business.
00:32:21I'm as smart as Ma Barker.
00:32:23You know, the trouble with you is, when you look at me, all you think of is...
00:32:26is this.
00:32:28You never take time to find out what's up here.
00:32:32Yeah.
00:32:33Well, let's see what Ma's price is.
00:32:41I, uh...
00:32:42I hear she has a body by a fisher.
00:32:44Man.
00:32:46Any fisher man knows he'll get stuck.
00:32:48If any fools around with a hook.
00:32:57Come in.
00:32:58Come in.
00:33:00Hiya, Ma.
00:33:01Hello, Kelly.
00:33:02Oh, uh...
00:33:03This is my girlfriend, Lou.
00:33:05Oh.
00:33:06Well, pleased to meet you.
00:33:07Come on in.
00:33:09This is my boy, Doc.
00:33:10He's quite a ladies' man.
00:33:12Lou, honey.
00:33:13Let's get lost while Ma and Kelly talk business.
00:33:17Oh, Kelly.
00:33:19No wonder you like to take Lou with you wherever you go.
00:33:22I don't get you, Ma.
00:33:23She leads real easy.
00:33:24You're much older than I thought.
00:33:25May I call you Grandma?
00:33:29I ain't a Grandma yet.
00:33:31I keep my boys away from the likes of you.
00:33:33Hey, Lou, honey.
00:33:34Ma sure topped you that time.
00:33:35Appears to me like Lou's the kind of a girl who's always getting topped.
00:33:47Well, let's get down to business.
00:33:48You want to plan a kidnap with a man named Jackson?
00:33:50How did you know that?
00:33:51Never mind.
00:33:52You ain't got a dime.
00:33:53Well, he certainly has.
00:33:54He's a millionaire.
00:33:55His home is mortgaged.
00:33:56His car ain't paid for.
00:33:57He gets $20,000 a year.
00:33:58And his wife, Jules, are all in hock.
00:33:59I don't believe it.
00:34:01Oh, honey.
00:34:02Just because you had a few dates with him while his wife was out of town.
00:34:04That's a lie.
00:34:05She was there all the time.
00:34:06Yikes.
00:34:07She was there all the time.
00:34:08Yikes.
00:34:09Some girlfriend you got, Kelly.
00:34:10Well, my.
00:34:11It was part of casing the job.
00:34:12I'll plan your job with fatter fish.
00:34:13How much?
00:34:14Fifty grand.
00:34:15Why, you old blade.
00:34:16Pray.
00:34:17I couldn't tell him what I was.
00:34:18I forgot to tell him.
00:34:19I had a pretty bad idea .
00:34:20I could have a bad idea.
00:34:21I can't tell him.
00:34:22I could have a bad idea.
00:34:23But he had a bad idea of a couple of babies.
00:34:24I could have a bad day before.
00:34:25If you had a bad day before, he had a bad idea.
00:34:28As a bad day before, he gets 20,000 a year and his wife jewels are all in hock.
00:34:34I don't believe it.
00:34:35Oh, honey.
00:34:37Fifty grand.
00:34:39Why, you old battleaxe, we wouldn't give you...
00:34:41Oh, sweet child.
00:34:42You say that again and I'll rattle your tonsil
00:34:45so that mink turns into the rabbit it is.
00:34:47I got no time for cheats or phony blondes.
00:34:55Come and sit by my side if you love me.
00:35:01Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
00:35:05Just remember the Red River Valley
00:35:11and the cowboy who loved you so true.
00:35:35Well, babyface, I didn't know you knew Fred.
00:35:39Why, him and me was classmates at Kansas State.
00:35:41Did you get the dough we sent?
00:35:43Sure, how do you think I'm paying for this party?
00:35:45Machine gun Kelly should have talked to you
00:35:47before he snatched Jackson.
00:35:48Oh, what happened?
00:35:51The guy didn't have a crying dime.
00:35:53What did you do with the skinny face?
00:35:55They had to throw him back.
00:35:57Say, who all is here tonight?
00:35:59Well, there's Balney Davis, Vic Fitz and Homer Van Meter.
00:36:05Excuse me, I'm gonna talk to somebody.
00:36:11I guess you heard we took a leaf from your book.
00:36:13Not my book.
00:36:14It ain't written yet.
00:36:15But when it is, they won't have a stupid chapter
00:36:17like that Jackson job you pulled.
00:36:19Can't a girl make one mistake like breathing?
00:36:22Honey, I'll still be around when you're a worm bait.
00:36:25They'll have awful tough chewing.
00:36:28Honey, I hope you won't feel out of place here tonight.
00:36:32Well, no, why should I?
00:36:33I reckon you've never met any big shots.
00:36:35Oh, I've been around.
00:36:37Yeah, in circles.
00:37:07Here is the story about Little Joe Carew
00:37:21And all the things he'd done for his gal named Lou.
00:37:25When Lou said, Joey, I want diamonds galore
00:37:29He rounded up the gang and robbed a jewelry store.
00:37:33Then Lou said, Joey, I want a coat of sable.
00:37:36Something fancy with a genuine label.
00:37:40But Little Joe's luck was bad that day.
00:37:43He killed a cop to make his getaway.
00:37:47Little Joe was captured and landed in jail.
00:37:51He waited for Lou to put up his bail.
00:37:55But Lou's fickle fancy had taken a turn
00:37:58To her new boyfriend, she said, let him burn.
00:38:02In his lonely cell, he said, I gotta make a break.
00:38:05I'm going stir crazy.
00:38:07I've had all that I can take.
00:38:09One thing I gotta do before I die
00:38:12Is make her pay for having another guy.
00:38:16Joe made his escape with a smuggle then saw
00:38:20Just one step ahead of the law.
00:38:24When he caught up to Lou, he had murder in his eye.
00:38:28Tearfully she pleaded, I'm too young to die.
00:38:31His smile was cold and deadly as he shot his girlfriend Lou.
00:38:35That's the last time you'll trifle on Little Joe Carew.
00:38:39I know I'll get the hot seat, but one thing I gotta say
00:38:43The lesson that I've learned in life is crime
00:38:46Don't pay!
00:38:51Now how about Lloyd?
00:38:56Here's the rest of the story about Little Joe Carew
00:39:08On trial for life for killing his girlfriend Lou.
00:39:12The judge said, Little Joe, you're public enemy number one.
00:39:16And now you'll have to pay and pay for what you've done.
00:39:20Little Joe protested, said, I'm not to blame.
00:39:23The way she treated me was a low-down shame.
00:39:26Judge pounded with his gavel, said, Look me in the eye.
00:39:30Tearfully Joe peered, I don't wanna die.
00:39:34The judge was cold and solemn as he looked at Joe Carew.
00:39:37I sentence you to die for killing your girlfriend Lou.
00:39:41Maybe she'll be waiting at the pearly gates.
00:39:45Take him to the hot seat and chalk it up to fate.
00:39:49So ends the story about Little Joe Carew.
00:39:52He's left this world to meet his girlfriend Lou.
00:40:07All right, bud. Don't muster fur.
00:40:10You know, I'm kind of stuck on that fur.
00:40:13But if I have to work you over, you're gonna become mighty unstuck.
00:40:16Listen, you'd better take it easy, fella.
00:40:19Big as you are, you've got a long ways to fall.
00:40:22Look, friend.
00:40:23Nobody puts the rush on Machine Gun Kelly's girl.
00:40:26Now, now, Kelly. You wanna shoot it out with Johnny Dillinger.
00:40:29You better go outside.
00:40:30Don't you go messing around with my new furniture.
00:40:32Dillinger? You heard the name?
00:40:38Yeah, sure. Who hasn't?
00:40:42Say, you know, what I was saying about my baby doll.
00:40:45I mean, a lot of guys make passes at her.
00:40:47And I bet she don't drop a single one.
00:40:52Hey, that's a good one, Johnny. Huh, baby?
00:40:55Oh, that was close.
00:41:08Where'd Margo and stop here? I'd like to see what would happen.
00:41:11A little action.
00:41:13You've had enough. Of everything. And so have you. Watch it.
00:41:26Aye.
00:41:28I'll lay you ten to five that Dillinger could take him without messing a hair.
00:41:32Al!
00:41:34So you made it.
00:41:39I told you I would.
00:41:41Ma! Ma!
00:41:43This here's Al Carpus.
00:41:45Aye, Ma.
00:41:46Well, Al Carpus. I'm glad to see you.
00:41:48Fred told me a lot about you.
00:41:50And if it's half as good as he says, you're okay in my book.
00:41:53What'd he tell you? I was a fine, upstanding citizen?
00:41:57Ma, imagine this guy. When we were in prison,
00:42:00he organizes a Boy Scout troop to help him shovel coal.
00:42:03Aye, Al?
00:42:04Yeah, yeah, yeah. They did their good turn.
00:42:07Have you located yet, Al?
00:42:09No, no, not yet.
00:42:11Why don't you come in with us?
00:42:13Huh, Ma?
00:42:14Sure, Al, sure. We'd be glad to have you.
00:42:16Ah.
00:42:18Where are your boys, Ma?
00:42:19Oh, well, there's Lloyd over there.
00:42:21Doc and Herman are out on business.
00:42:23Oh.
00:42:24Said he should have been back a long time ago.
00:42:26Fred, go get Al a drink.
00:42:29before he met a guy at Property of O.
00:42:31As far as he'd come about,
00:42:32there's a good thing.
00:42:33Let's go!
00:42:34Come here.
00:42:35Come more.
00:42:36Come here, Al.
00:42:37You're welcome.
00:42:38Come home, in the next area.
00:42:39Come here.
00:42:40Come here.
00:42:41Come here.
00:42:42You're welcome.
00:42:43Come here.
00:42:44Well, sir.
00:42:45Come here.
00:42:46Come on.
00:42:47Come on.
00:42:48I can't do it.
00:42:50Come here.
00:42:51Come here.
00:42:52Come here.
00:42:53Come here.
00:42:54Come here.
00:42:55Come here.
00:42:56Come here.
00:42:57Come here.
00:42:58Come here.
00:42:59What do we do if they catch us?
00:43:01Just forget it, Herman. Hurry up, will you?
00:43:30Doc?
00:43:31Doc?
00:43:32Doc?
00:43:34Yeah?
00:43:35Dig out.
00:43:36You okay, Herman?
00:43:37Yeah, dig out. I'm right behind you.
00:43:38Okay, kid. Come on, I'll help you.
00:43:40No, no, go on. I'm right behind you.
00:43:42Okay.
00:43:59Don't get caught! Don't get caught!
00:44:29Mom?
00:44:42Where's Herman?
00:44:47Cops get him?
00:44:50Is he hurt?
00:44:51Not anymore, Mom.
00:44:54He shot himself.
00:44:57Oh, no.
00:44:58Right, right through the head.
00:45:03Why'd he do a stupid thing like that?
00:45:08It was my fault.
00:45:10I always told him, don't get caught.
00:45:16He wasn't as strong as my other boy.
00:45:19Oh, my boy!
00:45:21My boy!
00:45:29When can I see him?
00:45:32Most likely tomorrow, Mom.
00:45:37Take him back home.
00:45:39But, Ma, the sheriff told us never to come back.
00:45:42He better not show no objections to a mother going back home.
00:45:46He is like a man which built a house and laid the foundation upon a rock.
00:46:02And when the flood rose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house and could not shake it.
00:46:09It was founded upon a rock.
00:46:12But he that heareth and doeth not is like a man that built a house upon the earth,
00:46:18against which the stream did beat, and immediately it fell.
00:46:21And the ruin of that house was great.
00:46:26To thy keeping we commit the soul of Herman Barker.
00:46:30From dust thou art made, and to dust thou shalt return.
00:46:35Amen.
00:46:36Amen.
00:46:38Katie, Katie.
00:46:40This didn't have to happen.
00:46:44I know.
00:46:47If only you'd been a better father.
00:47:06I know.
00:47:24Hello?
00:47:27Oh?
00:47:29Who told him?
00:47:31I see.
00:47:33No.
00:47:34We're leaving right now.
00:47:37Thanks a lot.
00:47:40Boys, get Arthur's bags and load everything back in the car.
00:47:43Why? Who's that, Ma?
00:47:45Big Fitz says someone shot off his mouth with the speakeasy.
00:47:47And the cops know it was you with Herman.
00:47:49Old bourbon breath?
00:47:50Who else?
00:47:52Let me carve him, Ma.
00:47:55Not here.
00:47:57We'll stop for a little picnic between here and St. Paul.
00:47:59St. Paul.
00:48:00St. Paul?
00:48:01That the big one, Ma?
00:48:02Get those things loaded in there.
00:48:03I'll talk about it later.
00:48:05Hmm?
00:48:06Yeah, all right.
00:48:07Arthur.
00:48:09I'm gonna enjoy hearing you squeal.
00:48:12Come on.
00:48:13Yep.
00:48:14Come on.
00:48:24Ma, you're the best cook that ever lived.
00:48:25Your turkey cooks moist, never dry.
00:48:28Yeah, Ma, she's pretty good on, uh, cooking gooses, too.
00:48:32She even baked you a pie.
00:48:35Al, Ma's won prizes at the county fair.
00:48:39Not only for, for baking, for cooking, too.
00:48:43Puppets, have a piece of pie.
00:48:45Oh, thanks. I've had mine.
00:48:49Ready?
00:48:50Lloyd?
00:48:53Lloyd?
00:48:59Duck.
00:49:10Why be so stingy with it?
00:49:12That's all you'll have time to eat.
00:49:15The others are larger.
00:49:17They'll be around longer.
00:49:18They didn't shoot off their mouths at the bar.
00:49:23Ma, I...
00:49:25I didn't...
00:49:26Now, don't you go trying to deny it.
00:49:27I told Al and the boys that if you shot off your bourbon mouth at that bar
00:49:30and got us in Dutch, I was gonna finish you.
00:49:33I was gonna do something about it.
00:49:34Now, finish the pie.
00:49:36Oh, now, Ma, Ma, you...
00:49:38You wouldn't do anything foolish.
00:49:41Not to me.
00:49:43Well, after all, I'm your...
00:49:46I'm your husband.
00:49:47I'm just about to divorce you.
00:49:50The quick way.
00:49:53Ma...
00:49:55I consider it a favor you let me do it.
00:49:58Mm-mm. Let's draw straws.
00:50:00By right, it's my job. I'm the oldest.
00:50:03Don't seem right, you doing it.
00:50:05You being your own flesh and blood.
00:50:07Not ours, Al.
00:50:08Ma found and married this guy about five years ago.
00:50:10Wait a minute. I got a better idea.
00:50:14Doc, give me that gun.
00:50:27Russian roulette.
00:50:29Ma, you are the slickest ever.
00:50:30Al, even money gets it before the third shot.
00:50:36You got a $10 bet, Fred.
00:50:39No, Ma.
00:50:41No!
00:50:42No!
00:50:55I'll help you.
00:50:57Oh, God! This is murder!
00:50:59You're pretty weak, old man.
00:51:09Let me help you.
00:51:10No.
00:51:23Better luck next time.
00:51:24No!
00:51:27No!
00:51:30No!
00:51:44No!
00:51:46No!
00:51:50No!
00:51:51You owe me ten bucks.
00:51:59It wasn't worth it.
00:52:02Why not?
00:52:04Didn't have much chance to squeal.
00:52:11Nelson, you tell Davison and Van Meter to do exactly what I planned.
00:52:21Where do we bring your cut?
00:52:23Listen, babyface, you show up around here and I'll kill you.
00:52:26You don't bring it, you send it.
00:52:28You wrap the amount I said in white paper and mail it to me.
00:52:31If we bring it off.
00:52:32You do it exactly like I planned it.
00:52:34My job's always come off.
00:52:42Baby's in this business.
00:52:44Carvis, Nelson and the others moved into the Sioux Falls bank.
00:52:52Right on schedule.
00:52:54They took their places.
00:52:56Right on schedule.
00:53:02The vault was open.
00:53:04Right on schedule.
00:53:06Shooting the cock was not on the schedule.
00:53:15Everything's under control here.
00:53:17Take your time.
00:53:19They collected $50,000 and made their getaway right on schedule.
00:53:24I was right proud of them.
00:53:34It was nice of you to select our bank, Mrs. Henderson.
00:53:38Well, after Mr. Stilwell and the bank in St. Louis recommended you so highly,
00:53:43I just couldn't think of going to another bank.
00:53:48Since my dear, dead, departed husband.
00:54:00Drink this, Mrs. Anderson.
00:54:03We've all suffered the loss of a loved one.
00:54:09I do hope I like St. Paul.
00:54:13Of course, living with my sister has its drawbacks.
00:54:18Her home's way out near the Hamlin School.
00:54:23My daughter attends Hamlin School.
00:54:28What a lovely child.
00:54:32Now, how can we serve you?
00:54:37I would like to liquidate my holdings in St. Louis and invest here in St. Paul.
00:54:43I see. Well, our real estate department should be of service.
00:54:46Meanwhile, I'd like to have a safety deposit box.
00:54:50I'll have my secretary arrange that.
00:54:52Oh.
00:54:55You've been so kind.
00:54:59Now, if there's anything you want, Mrs. Henderson,
00:55:02I hope you'll think of our bank.
00:55:04I will.
00:55:06Indeed, I will.
00:55:07Let's go.
00:55:08Let's go.
00:55:09Let's go.
00:55:10Let's go.
00:55:11Let's go.
00:55:13Let's go.
00:55:15Let's go.
00:55:17Let's go.
00:55:19All right, boys.
00:55:20Here it is.
00:55:22This the surprise you're going to spring, ma?
00:55:24Nope.
00:55:31It's the Commercial State Bank.
00:55:33You're going off your rock, ma.
00:55:34It's the toughest bank in the country to crack.
00:55:36He's right, ma.
00:55:37Be lucky to get a handful of nickels out of that joint.
00:55:39Yeah, how about a boat, huh?
00:55:41Who said anything about money?
00:55:44Well, what are we going to do?
00:55:45Swipe the pins and blotters?
00:55:49Now!
00:55:51We're going to snatch the President.
00:55:55It's a federal rap, ma.
00:55:56You want the FBI on our tail?
00:55:58Hey, I always told you it takes guts to make a bundle.
00:56:04Like how much, ma?
00:56:06200,000.
00:56:07That's a lot of scratch, ma.
00:56:09It'll be red hot.
00:56:10Well, I can trade it for some cool cabbage
00:56:12in Chicago, Miami, and Reno.
00:56:14We'll write you from Alcatraz.
00:56:16Now, listen to me, Carpus.
00:56:17Listen to me!
00:56:20On Monday morning at 1015,
00:56:23you and Doc will leave this place.
00:56:26You will drive to the Hamlin School
00:56:28at the corner of 6th and Washington.
00:56:30And pick up our diplomas.
00:56:32You will park on 6th Street near the East entrance.
00:56:38Within three minutes, Courtney will arrive.
00:56:41You hope?
00:56:42He will!
00:56:43Because I'm going to call him
00:56:44and tell him this little girl is took sick at school,
00:56:46and he's to come and get her.
00:56:48And he's going to ask.
00:56:51How sick is she?
00:56:53Nothing serious.
00:56:54Just an upset stomach.
00:56:56But we thought it best if she was home in bed.
00:56:59Have you called Mrs. Courtney?
00:57:01We tried to, but your phone is out of order.
00:57:05I see.
00:57:06Very well.
00:57:07I'll come and pick her up right away.
00:57:10Miss Chase, I'll be back in about an hour.
00:57:12Thank you, Ma'am.
00:57:13Music is coming to you for a great day.
00:57:14Thanks, Ma'am.
00:57:15We're standing on the floor.
00:57:16We're standing on the floor.
00:57:18I'll be on our door.
00:57:20Cool.
00:57:22I've got a flashback.
00:57:24I have a flashback.
00:57:25You must get a grip
00:57:55on yourself, Mrs. Courtney.
00:57:56If they harm him.
00:57:58They won't if you follow instructions explicitly.
00:58:01That's why you must take this phone call
00:58:03with as much calm as possible.
00:58:06It's after nine o'clock.
00:58:07I can't go through with it.
00:58:10I'll do something stupid and fail him.
00:58:13I thought when the FBI came in,
00:58:15they would handle everything.
00:58:17We must have your cooperation, Mrs. Courtney.
00:58:25Now, you'll be fine.
00:58:39Hello?
00:58:40Yes?
00:58:41This is Mrs. Courtney.
00:58:43Now, listen carefully,
00:58:44because I don't want to repeat myself.
00:58:47Put the money in a small package
00:58:49and take it to the end of the Farm Street wharf.
00:58:53Yes.
00:58:54Yes, is my husband all right?
00:58:56Don't worry about him.
00:58:58Just have the money ready.
00:59:00When I get to the wharf, what shall I do?
00:59:02A speedboat will come by.
00:59:04A man will call your name.
00:59:07Give him the money.
00:59:08Yes, I will.
00:59:11Please don't hurt him.
00:59:13We...
00:59:13I need him so.
00:59:16You can have him.
00:59:19We're honorable people, Mrs. Courtney.
00:59:21You keep your word.
00:59:23We'll keep ours.
00:59:33Relax, Ma.
00:59:34Worrying won't help.
00:59:35According to the schedule,
00:59:36they're two hours overdue.
00:59:37So they had a flat.
00:59:38They'll be here.
00:59:39It don't take two hours to fix a flat.
00:59:41Besides, they had three spare tires, just in case.
00:59:45Listen, Ma.
00:59:48That ain't our car.
00:59:49I tell by the sound.
00:59:51Fred, hurry.
00:59:52You go in the house.
00:59:53You know what to do.
00:59:53Why, telly.
01:00:18Hello.
01:00:19Let's go.
01:00:29Hi, Ma.
01:00:33Lemonade?
01:00:34Thanks, Noah.
01:00:44You, uh, here all alone?
01:00:46Sure looks like it, don't it?
01:00:49How did you know where to find us?
01:00:51We heard some rumors, Ma, and we put two and two together.
01:00:54Let's cut out the hearts and flowers.
01:00:56Ma, we knew this was your job.
01:00:58We know how you work.
01:01:01All right, boys.
01:01:10Lou, are you pulling another Jackson boner?
01:01:12I bubbled that, but this time I've got you outsmarted.
01:01:15Oh, my, it does look bad, don't it?
01:01:20What's your proposition?
01:01:22We kind of figure to take Courtney off your hands, Ma.
01:01:26Are you offering any cash?
01:01:27Of course we are.
01:01:29Lou figured we'd pay about...
01:01:30Not one red cent.
01:01:32But, honey, you said 50 grand.
01:01:34That was before we found Ma alone.
01:01:36I never heard of such a thing.
01:01:39Trying to steal another mob's kidnap.
01:01:41Why?
01:01:42It ain't honest.
01:01:44You're in no spot to refuse, Ma.
01:01:47Do you want to gamble on that?
01:01:49Can you be four of a kind?
01:01:51Depends on how big they are.
01:01:52I'd call them aces.
01:01:53Oh, honey, you've never been known to be very bright.
01:01:56They look more like jokers to me.
01:01:58You're slipping, Ma.
01:02:00A joker is still an ace.
01:02:02Not in Texas poker.
01:02:04We strip out the joker, and that's just what I'm going to do with your pat hand.
01:02:10Red!
01:02:11Red!
01:02:16That's a pretty low card, Ma.
01:02:18Maybe I'd better draw another.
01:02:20Carpus!
01:02:29You'd better draw your limit, Ma, and fast.
01:02:31I'm losing patience.
01:02:32Babyface Nelson.
01:02:34What else?
01:02:39And if Fred and Carpus and Babyface and me ain't enough, then I got a wild card.
01:02:44A real wild card.
01:02:47Johnny Dillinger.
01:02:55Fives beat fours.
01:02:57I'd say Ma has the best hand.
01:02:59After this, folks will be calling you Pop Gun, Kelly.
01:03:05Yeah, they sure will, Ma.
01:03:08Like I always said, you're the best in the business.
01:03:11I'll bet you do, Kelly.
01:03:13Boys, put up your hardware.
01:03:15You mean lay down their hardware, don't you?
01:03:19Well, I guess we can't do business, so we'll be on our way.
01:03:23Now, is that any way for a guest to act?
01:03:26Here's Stan to dinner.
01:03:27Dad?
01:03:30Pick up those boys' guns.
01:03:32They're getting right dusty laying there on the ground.
01:03:46Why'd you do that?
01:03:47Thought I saw it move and I didn't want it to bite you.
01:03:57What's he doing here, Ma?
01:03:58Kelly heard that we kidnapped somebody.
01:03:59I declare I don't know how those rumors get around.
01:04:00They're kidnapped?
01:04:01Now that's a laugh.
01:04:02Did you get the lettuce like I told you?
01:04:03Yeah, it's in the back seat.
01:04:04Good.
01:04:05Take the car around in back.
01:04:06And put the lettuce in the ice box.
01:04:07We'll have some for supper.
01:04:09Darling, these are the nice men I told you about.
01:04:10Avery, sir.
01:04:11Mr. Avery?
01:04:12Baxter.
01:04:13Mr. Baxter.
01:04:14Mr. Baxter.
01:04:15Mr. Baxter.
01:04:16I know you've had a harrowing experience, Mr. Courtney, so I'll be as brief as possible.
01:04:18I am very tired.
01:04:25I know you've had a harrowing experience, Mr. Courtney, so I'll be as brief as possible.
01:04:45I am very tired.
01:04:47Do you have any idea who your abductors were?
01:04:52I was blindfolded the whole time and they only talked in whispers in my presence.
01:04:57Can you tell us where they took you?
01:04:59No, I can't.
01:05:00Can you estimate the length of time you traveled?
01:05:03It was hours.
01:05:05Four, five, eight.
01:05:08Hmm.
01:05:09Well, I'd say roughly about eight hours.
01:05:12Do you recall any unusual sounds?
01:05:14No, just the incessant whir of the tires on the highway.
01:05:19We've been traveling for about six hours. The sound changed.
01:05:23Changed? To what?
01:05:25The way tires sound when you're driving on wet pavement.
01:05:28Rain. Within a radius of 300 miles, we'll check on that.
01:05:33Can you tell us when they stopped for gas?
01:05:36They didn't.
01:05:44That is not at a filling station.
01:05:47Just before we hit the wet pavement, they turned off on a side road.
01:05:51Poured gas into the tank from a metal container.
01:05:54I could hear them toss the can to the side of the road.
01:05:57Very good, Mr. Courtney.
01:05:59I was placed in a cellar of a basement. I think it was very damp.
01:06:03You could hear cows, ducks, chickens, a lot of hammering.
01:06:08Oh, I could hear a railroad train several times a day.
01:06:12How far away was the sound?
01:06:14Hmm, seemed to be about two miles away.
01:06:17Well, this gives us something concrete to work on.
01:06:20Thank you very much, Mr. Courtney.
01:06:22If we need any further information, we'll be in touch with you.
01:06:26Thank you, sir.
01:06:28Good night, Miss Courtney.
01:06:29Good night.
01:06:30Good night.
01:06:31Good night.
01:06:32Darling, were they rough with you?
01:06:34No, were they treated me well? I had water, cigars.
01:06:37Did they feed you? Are you hungry?
01:06:39That's the only part of the whole thing I really enjoyed.
01:06:42Enjoyed?
01:06:44The meals.
01:06:45That cook served the best food I've ever tasted.
01:06:48Wish I had one of those cherry pies right now.
01:06:51This is the only place it rained that day.
01:06:57I want the area covered with use as many men as necessary.
01:07:02Find the road where that car pulled off to put in gas.
01:07:06And there we should find that empty gas can.
01:07:36I've been reading about you in the paper.
01:07:49Yeah, it's a good picture, too.
01:07:51Then you know we're in real trouble, Doc.
01:07:53So you get your tools.
01:07:55Because you've got a little operation to do.
01:07:57What kind of operation?
01:07:58You'll find out soon enough.
01:07:59Maybe plastic surgery.
01:08:01I haven't done any plastic surgery for years.
01:08:04Well, you're going to do one now.
01:08:06Maybe you'll get that old diploma back, Doc.
01:08:08Now get your tools.
01:08:09Wait, look, my hands.
01:08:10Take something for them.
01:08:11And do it fast, will you?
01:08:13Because when Ma gets here, she won't like it if you botch this job.
01:08:15Now get your tools.
01:08:16Oh, Doc.
01:08:17You're getting to be a real rum pot.
01:08:31Look, Ma, you better get somebody else.
01:08:32My nerves are short.
01:08:33And besides, I never specialized in surgery.
01:08:34All right, Doc.
01:08:35Take a good big drink.
01:08:36Now don't get polluted.
01:08:37I love my boy.
01:08:38And if you don't do a good job, I'll give you the sun.
01:08:39Oh, Doc.
01:08:40You're getting to be a real rum pot.
01:08:41Look, Ma, you better get somebody else.
01:08:42My nerves are short.
01:08:43And besides, I never specialized in surgery.
01:08:44All right, Doc.
01:08:45Take a good big drink.
01:08:46Now don't get polluted.
01:08:47I love my boy.
01:08:48And if you don't do a good job, I'll give you the same operation.
01:09:02Without ether.
01:09:03This is no time for jokes.
01:09:05I haven't told a joke in 20 years.
01:09:08Ma.
01:09:09Ma, is this going to hurt?
01:09:13No, son, no.
01:09:14We'll just put you to sleep, and when you come to, it'll all be over.
01:09:19Ma, I don't mind about the fingerprints, but do I have to change the face?
01:09:37Every post office in this country has a picture of your face.
01:09:41Now, don't you worry, son.
01:09:44Don't you worry.
01:09:45Your Ma will take care of you.
01:09:47Just like she always does.
01:09:55Doc, you butcher.
01:09:57You're hurting my boy.
01:09:59Give me another slug.
01:10:00You've had enough.
01:10:02You're hurting my boy.
01:10:03Mm-hmm.
01:10:04Give him some more ether.
01:10:05You know, Ma, that's pretty fun.
01:10:07I'm kind of deep.
01:10:15You want to take over?
01:10:19Old Doc Gulfy.
01:10:22Sawbones to the underperl.
01:10:25Now you stop that.
01:10:27You hurt my boy.
01:10:28Give him some more ether.
01:10:30You know, Ma, that's pretty funny.
01:10:32I used it all.
01:10:34You hurt him.
01:10:39Well, let it hurt.
01:10:41You talk about your boys having guts.
01:10:43Well, let it hurt.
01:11:02Hey, Doc said it'd take it easy.
01:11:04I hurt my own son.
01:11:06No, Ma, you're doing fine.
01:11:08Hey, you know, if I like what that Doc did, I'm going to have him make me look like Valentino.
01:11:11Oh, my fingers.
01:11:13Oh, I'm sorry, son.
01:11:14I'll take it easy.
01:11:22What's wrong, Ma?
01:11:24What did he do to me?
01:11:26He didn't do nothing.
01:11:28Not a thing.
01:11:30You mean I look just like I did?
01:11:32Oh, my pain.
01:11:34He let you suffer all those weeks for nothing.
01:11:37A dirty, shrinkin' butch, Ma.
01:11:43No, no, no.
01:11:44No, please.
01:11:45I never did anything to anybody to deserve.
01:11:47Oh, it's Ma.
01:11:48It's Ma Parker.
01:11:50Oh, please, Mr. I'll get lost.
01:11:52Anything.
01:11:52Oh, no, no.
01:11:54Help!
01:11:54Help!
01:11:55Help!
01:11:55Help!
01:11:56Help!
01:11:56Oh, stop it!
01:11:58Stop it!
01:11:59Stop it!
01:11:59Help!
01:12:00Help!
01:12:01Help!
01:12:02No, no!
01:12:04Oh, no, no, no!
01:12:05Oh, no, no, no.
01:12:06No, no, no, no, no.
01:12:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:12:10How could they be sure this was Doctor Gelfy?
01:12:13Well, his wallet wasn't burned.
01:12:15And the initials on the back of his watch, it's pretty conclusive.
01:12:19How do you interpret this?
01:12:21Gangland vendetta.
01:12:23But if his medical services were so valuable to the underworld,
01:12:27why would they rub him out?
01:12:29Well, he was on the skids.
01:12:31Over parrot fever, yakking too much.
01:12:36Could have been the Barker gang.
01:12:38They went to Dr. Gelfie for a face lifting.
01:12:41And rubbed him out so there'd be no witnesses.
01:12:44Do you think the Barker gang would engage in this sort of thing?
01:12:47Why not?
01:12:49This is the work of animals.
01:12:50They're all animals when they're on the run.
01:12:54And there's a chance some members of the gang may have had their features altered,
01:12:57so we won't be able to recognize them.
01:12:59Well, they may alter their features, but they very seldom change their habits.
01:13:03Sooner or later, one of them will tip his hand.
01:13:11You're up.
01:13:11I don't know.
