00:02:23it has its back alleys, its world of saints and sinners, and the half-world of dark shadows some

00:02:30of them dwell in. The darkest of these shadows is marijuana. In every large city, there are men

00:02:38like Captain Hayes, chief of the narcotic division. His job is to combat and control this evil menace,

00:02:45his fight, a 24-hour one, his weapons, simple but effective, patience and intelligence. Every case

00:02:54history tells the same story, a story that's a tragic pattern of men and women's lives, cause

00:03:00marijuana. This harmless-looking cigarette is cloaked in many innocent disguises, but light the match,

00:03:08inhale the smoke, and it becomes an invitation to your own murder. This killer and the man who

00:03:14sells it has no respect for anybody. His victims are any lost soul. It matters not to whom the soul

00:03:22belongs. The seller's method of operation? Simple. Keep the mind from thinking. The mind thinks,

00:03:29the world becomes a real thing, with troubles and problems without the answers. But he has the answer,

00:03:37escape. Sell the dreams people want to dream. Keep them from waking up, because once they do,

00:03:44you're out of business. Of course, the rich can afford to pay more for their dreams. It's a profitable

00:03:51game. And when boredom sets in, heroin, cocaine, opium is always the next step, at higher prices.

00:04:00If you live that long, this man has no pride. To lay his hands on an extra dollar, he'll set this killer

00:04:08loose on anyone. Even your kids who go to high school. You may even know him. His name is Marky.

00:04:16Oh, Recky, I like him.

00:04:19You would.

00:04:25Change five pennies for a nickel pop.

00:04:27Be right back, baby.

00:04:48Hiya, Marky.

00:04:49Shut up, you crazy kid. How many times have I told you not to mention my name?

00:04:54Oh, yeah. Yeah, sorry.

00:04:56Oh, you're getting good taste. Wish I was young again.

00:05:00It's gonna cost you five bucks tonight.

00:05:02Five bucks?

00:05:03That's right. Weekend special. Free for five, just for you.

00:05:07Yeah, but five dollars, that's all I got.

00:05:09Tell your old man to double your allowance next week.

00:05:13No.

00:05:13Come on, dig. You want it or not? I haven't got it all night.

00:05:16Okay, okay. Have fun.

00:05:41One more.

00:05:42One more.

00:05:43Hey, give her some.

00:05:45I'm on a gray, big, purple cloud, and it's real purple.

00:05:56Hey, you look funny. You've got purple airs.

00:06:01Let's go dance.

00:06:02Let's go.

00:06:06Oh, Recky, look out. There's a car coming in.

00:06:08Watch me give a shake.

00:06:10Oh, my baby. My baby.

00:06:25Well, the morgue did a big business. Three lives.

00:06:40One girl never to walk again, if she lives.

00:06:43Too bad it wasn't the guy who sold them those sticks.

00:06:46We'll get him, Mason.

00:06:47May take time.

00:06:48When we do, we'll throw the book at him.

00:06:50From all reports, this peddler isn't the ordinary run of the mill.

00:06:58He moves in all circles, from Beverly Hills and Bel Air to the nightclubs along the strip.

00:07:03From Hollywood and the Wilshire District all the way down to Skid Row.

00:07:06I'm assigning you and Ty in this case.

00:07:09You're going to work as a team.

00:07:11Now, I want this deal handled strictly on the hush side.

00:07:13No pickups, no arrests.

00:07:15We can pull in the users any time.

00:07:17We do it now, they may clam up.

00:07:19They talk, their supply is cut off.

00:07:21Our job is to find the main source of supply.

00:07:24Who sells it to the peddlers.

00:07:25How he rolls the stuff in and where he stores it.

00:07:28Looks like our vacation is over.

00:07:29It was so nice and quiet in the community, too.

00:07:33Somebody had to go get greedy and start a big push on the stuff again.

00:07:38But if we blow this deal, boys, all our vacations will be permanent.

00:07:42Well, better get some sleep.

00:07:44This may be our last chance.

00:07:46The boss was right.

00:07:48Sleep, that was for babies.

00:07:50I went home, dug out my old school books, loaded up my pockets with nickels for the jukebox,

00:07:55and brushed up on my jive talk.

00:07:57Then I played a solo in that malt shop.

00:08:01Another drink, madam?

00:08:04Me?

00:08:05Oh, I joined the union to wear the uniform.

00:08:08If the customers hadn't been loyal patrons, I think I would have put the owner out of business.

00:08:12I was all hands.

00:08:13About six.

00:08:15The only trouble was, five of them didn't function.

00:08:27Say, Marky, can you let me have...

00:08:32Uh-uh, sweetheart.

00:08:34I crossed your name off my books.

00:08:35I'm not in business for love.

00:08:37I can pay you next week.

00:08:39See me then.

00:08:40But, Marky, I...

00:08:41I don't know if there's no more action.

00:08:43We have only four more of us before opening.

00:08:45Be it, be it, my cher.

00:08:46We do not have all day a dress quickly.

00:08:48Please.

00:08:49Hello, Hugo.

00:08:50Find any new talent lately?

00:08:52Big?

00:08:53You stay away from my girls.

00:08:56Hugo, you hurt my professional pride.

00:08:58You want them to have rhythm, don't you?

00:09:00Yeah, I'll talk a show.

00:09:01Back in a minute, honey.

00:09:20Hello, Marky.

00:09:21I'm awful jumpy today.

00:09:23Are you holding?

00:09:29I've been telling you, Marky, she's a nice little girl.

00:09:31She's a nice kid.

00:09:32She's only working here because she needs a dough.

00:09:35Marky, did you hear what I asked?

00:09:37I've had my eye on that for a long time.

00:09:40Lay off, Marky.

00:09:42She's the kind that works to help support her brother.

00:09:45Wants him to have a decent education.

00:09:48I...

00:09:48Rita, you sound as if I had the wrong ideas.

00:09:51I think education's a wonderful thing.

00:09:55I want to talk to her about it.

00:09:57I told you, she's a nice kid.

00:10:00So am I.

00:10:00I like nice kids.

00:10:03That's why I want to meet her.

00:10:06Arrange a party.

00:10:09Marky, I...

00:10:10Make it tonight.

00:10:13All right.

00:10:15You're a real sensible girl, Rita.

00:10:19The kind that knows how to keep a good friend.

00:10:21Oh, Ann, I'm throwing a little party tonight.

00:10:49Nothing sensational.

00:10:51How about coming over?

00:10:53Well, Bob's coming home from college.

00:10:55Summer vacation.

00:10:56He may be in tonight.

00:10:57We'll bring the party to you.

00:10:59Really welcome the kid home.

00:11:01Now you kiss me.

00:11:12Now you.

00:11:13Now you.

00:11:15I like yours better.

00:11:20Your mustache is tickling.

00:11:25Tickle, tickle, tickle.

00:11:27Well, the lady really is a liar.

00:11:29Had me worried for a while.

00:11:30Rita always gets fun out of things.

00:11:33Don't you?

00:11:33I guess maybe I'm too busy trying to make a living.

00:11:37I helped send my brother to college.

00:11:39Yeah, so I heard.

00:11:41What you need, maybe, is a little education yourself.

00:11:44Learn to relax.

00:11:45Let your hair down.

00:11:49You get a lot of class.

00:11:52Charm.

00:11:53With a guy like me, you might even go places.

00:11:55I know a lot of people.

00:11:57The right kind.

00:11:59You might even call me a sort of Santa Claus.

00:12:03I could turn your life into a nice, big, beautiful sleigh ride.

00:12:09Enough dough to put your brother through college twice.

00:12:13You make living sound attractive.

00:12:18Oh, here.

00:12:19Try one of mine.

00:12:22Go ahead.

00:12:23It won't hurt you.

00:12:25Hey, I have a drink.

00:12:40No, Marky.

00:12:41Maybe for somebody else.

00:12:44But not for me.

00:12:45Oh, what are you worried about?

00:12:47You're over 21.

00:12:49You got a mind of your own.

00:12:50I think you're the type that can take it or leave it.

00:13:00Hey, fellas.

00:13:01Anne's going to join the club.

00:13:03Come on.

00:13:03We can't miss this.

00:13:05That's a good girl.

00:13:06Don't be a boy, Lord Anne.

00:13:07It's fun.

00:13:08You'll love it.

00:13:09I have...

00:13:09Well, maybe one puff won't hurt me.

00:13:12Sure.

00:13:13You know I wouldn't scare you wrong.

00:13:14Oh, no, baby.

00:13:20Not like that.

00:13:20Here.

00:13:21Try and try...

00:13:21Show somebody else, stupid.

00:13:22Not her.

00:13:26Like this, honey.

00:13:33See?

00:13:33Now you try it.

00:13:34One is like nothing, beautiful.

00:13:43Try another.

00:13:44Funken.

00:13:54Oh, oh.

00:13:54Bye.

00:13:57Bye.

00:13:59Bye.

00:14:01Bye.

00:14:09Notice.

00:14:09Bye.

00:14:10Bye.

00:14:11Bye.

00:14:12Bye.

00:14:13Bye.

00:14:14How am I doing?

00:14:22Fine.

00:14:23It's a real pleasure.

00:14:31Congratulations.

00:14:32Now you'll start living.

00:14:40My head is so light it feels like it's floating.

00:14:44That's because your troubles are all gone.

00:14:46Try another pub.

00:14:48See how pretty the world looks then.

00:15:01You're so smart, Mike.

00:15:04So smart.

00:15:06Music.

00:15:07Somebody play some music.

00:15:09I want to dance.

00:15:10Yeah, I'll buy a ticket.

00:15:14Oh, I want to dance, too.

00:15:34Oh, that energy, beautiful.

00:15:36Let's not waste it dancing.

00:15:37Oh, sis.

00:15:49Oh, sis.

00:15:50Oh, sis.

00:15:54Come on, wake up.

00:16:11Give me another stick, Marky.

00:16:13Give me another stick.

00:16:14Come on, who are you?

00:16:17Oh, you're not, Marky.

00:16:18Come on, get up.

00:16:21Now get up.

00:16:22Now, wait a minute, you.

00:16:25I said get out.

00:16:26I'm Ann's brother.

00:16:27Anything else you want to know?

00:16:29I'm sorry.

00:16:34What a night.

00:16:35Ann.

00:16:52Ann.

00:16:54Ann.

00:16:54Come on.

00:17:24No, Marky. No more. Makes my head spin. Let Rita have it.

00:17:34Sis. Wake up, sis. It's Bob.

00:17:40Bob. When did you get here?

00:17:44Oh, a little while ago.

00:17:45Well, why didn't you wake me up, silly?

00:17:47Well, I started to, but you were so sound asleep that I just didn't have the heart to.

00:17:52Oh, well, how about fixing me up some coffee, huh?

00:17:57Okay.

00:18:03Coffee coming up.

00:18:07Well, now that I'm awake, how about a kiss hello?

00:18:10All right, sis. Sorry I couldn't get here in time for the party.

00:18:14Oh, it wasn't that thing.

00:18:20Tell me all about school, Bob.

00:18:27You gonna bump one of your cigarettes?

00:18:29Help yourself.

00:18:32What's the matter?

00:18:34Something wrong?

00:18:35Bob, you didn't quit school, did you?

00:18:41No.

00:18:43But it's something I've been wanting to talk about.

00:18:46But why, Bob?

00:18:47Aren't you happy there?

00:18:50Are you in trouble?

00:18:52No.

00:18:53No, it's nothing like that.

00:18:54Sure, I want to go on with college.

00:19:01I even had a couple of my paintings on an exhibition this semester.

00:19:05But look, I know how hard you work, and I know what it costs to keep me going.

00:19:09But with the payments in the house and everything, look, you've done so much for me already,

00:19:13it just isn't fair to keep taking away from yourself and giving me.

00:19:19Sis, I'm gonna get a job.

00:19:20I know the right people.

00:19:23There's enough dough to put your brother through college twice.

00:19:28Put your brother through college twice.

00:19:32I know the right people.

00:19:34Listen to me, Bob.

00:19:36You're not giving up school.

00:19:38Not with your future.

00:19:40I never had a chance for one, but I'm seeing that you do.

00:19:43But the money.

00:19:46I can't let you do it.

00:19:49I've made up my mind.

00:19:51Everything will be taken care of.

00:19:55Anne, who is this Mr...

00:19:58Who?

00:20:02I'll go unpack.

00:20:11But who's Marky, and who was it I found on the couch in the living room when I came...

00:20:15Wait a minute, kid.

00:20:16Slow down.

00:20:17You're throwing questions at me like I was on a quiz show.

00:20:20I'm sorry.

00:20:21It's just that I was upset coming in like that.

00:20:23Why don't you relax, Bob?

00:20:25So Anne had a little party.

00:20:27I was there with a few friends.

00:20:29We even hung around waiting for you to come home.

00:20:32Maybe it's just as well I didn't.

00:20:34You picked yourself up a cute little imagination since you were home last.

00:20:42Anne works hard trying to put you through college.

00:20:45Figures you deserve it.

00:20:46Maybe someday you'll make it up to her.

00:20:48I'm thinking about quitting college.

00:20:52She can't be making more than $60 or $75 a week at the most.

00:20:58How can she do everything on that and live?

00:21:00Maybe I shouldn't tell you this because it's, well, sort of a surprise.

00:21:06But Anne did say something about a new act, a little specialty routine that's going into a club.

00:21:11It'll mean another $25 a week.

00:21:15Rita, who's Marky?

00:21:19A friend, kid.

00:21:21Just a friend.

00:21:22Stripes become you, Raymond.

00:21:37Must keep you from getting too lonesome for home.

00:21:39Your jokes are going to have you laughing yourself to death someday, friend.

00:21:42What gets you up so early in the morning, Insomnia?

00:21:52Let's call it ambition.

00:21:55You shove weeds to those high school kids?

00:22:02A man's got to make a living these days, Jonathan.

00:22:05With me, a buck's a buck.

00:22:08Take you, for instance.

00:22:09A view overlooking the city.

00:22:13Custom-made furniture.

00:22:16Different suit three times a day.

00:22:19You're a big man, Jonathan.

00:22:21A big man.

00:22:22I was thinking maybe I might be your neighbor one of these days.

00:22:25You just have to learn to crawl before you can walk, Marky.

00:22:28Like you did?

00:22:29Listen, Marky.

00:22:30You pull another deal like this last one,

00:22:32and the narcotic boys will be bucking on your tail like a pack of bloodhounds.

00:22:35That's my worry, not yours.

00:22:39When it comes to being in front of the gun,

00:22:42I am always there, not you.

00:22:45So I appreciate your loyalty.

00:22:47That's why I trust you.

00:22:48But it's things like this that make it very difficult for the margin man,

00:22:52like myself.

00:22:53It's tougher to roll the stuff in, prices go up.

00:22:55You're telling me that because of this caper in the news,

00:22:57it's going to cost me more dough?

00:22:59Well, let's say $25 a can for each case of fresh, ripely-picked tomatoes.

00:23:05Talk like it was a chain store.

00:23:08I take the major risks,

00:23:09and it's only honest that I share in the profits.

00:23:13Well, what can I do?

00:23:15You got me over a case of tomatoes.

00:23:21Hello?

00:23:22Oh, yes, Miller.

00:23:25When?

00:23:29I had nearly ten grand riding that shipment.

00:23:31Couldn't you do anything?

00:23:32All right, all right.

00:23:33Just keep out of sight.

00:23:34I'll contact you later.

00:23:36Trouble, maybe?

00:23:37Yeah.

00:23:38Miller was hijacked last night,

00:23:40coming in from Arizona.

00:23:41Some other outfit must have gotten wind of it.

00:23:43Are you sure Miller wasn't the wind?

00:23:47I hear tell he'll hold hands with anybody

00:23:50that'll drop over 50 cents in his palm,

00:23:53even the cops.

00:23:55I find out, I'll call you.

00:23:57Return the favor.

00:23:59Take it out and trade.

00:24:01At the old prices.

00:24:13Raymond, I want you to pay Miller a little visit.

00:24:17Be real sociable.

00:24:18Take him out for an airing.

00:24:19Come on.

00:24:49I'll be right back.

00:25:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

00:25:49I'm going to die.

00:26:03It feels as if I'm walking on air.

00:26:04See, nothing.

00:26:05So is...

00:26:07Is it Marky coming?

00:26:16We had a business meeting tonight.

00:26:18Male or female?

00:26:20Money.

00:26:34Say, that's beautiful.

00:26:38Something I'd like to do my ballet to.

00:26:41My new concerto.

00:26:43Get in the mood and start from the beginning.

00:26:46I'm going to die.

00:26:50I'm going to die.

00:26:52I'll tell you, I'm going to die.

00:26:54What's the matter with you?

00:26:56I'm going to die.

00:26:57I know I'm going to die.

00:26:59That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life.

00:27:03He thinks he's going to die.

00:27:06That's a scream.

00:27:08Hey, before you leave this world, take a drag.

00:27:12It'll get you there faster.

00:27:18Now I'm in the mood.

00:27:20I wish to be left alone.

00:27:24Oh, my God!

00:27:27Now I'm in the mood.

00:27:29I'm in the mood.

00:27:31I wish to be right here.

00:27:32I wish to be right here.

00:27:37Oh, my God!

00:27:39Oh!

00:31:34THE END

00:31:35to see us? Oui. For weeks now, you've both lumbered about like two elephants. The feet,

00:31:42they never left the floor. The bodies, statues, stones. The face, green masks. Crank in your,

00:31:50lifeless. So I shall be brief. You're fired. Go pick up your checks at the cashier. Why,

00:31:57you... Please do not excite me. Let's not waste time telling him what he can do with his job.

00:32:02Come on. You go, Rita. I'll see you later.

00:32:11Hugo, I'd like to keep my job. No, absolutely not. No. But I help support my brother. I send him to

00:32:18college. Brother, mother, mortgage, file, me coat. Always something is being supported.

00:32:27Always somebody is sending somebody someplace. But the answer is still no. I know this man,

00:32:35Marky. I see what he does to people. I feel very sorry for you. Save your sympathy for somebody

00:32:43who needs it. Hi. You're through early today. I'm through, period. What do you mean? Oh,

00:32:58just that I lost one of a girl's best friends. Her job. So now you got a new one. Friend or job?

00:33:05Both. Starting now. You're the boss, friend. Like your new job, beautiful? You'd make a girl like

00:33:26anything. Including you. Why don't you take care of the guests? All right. Quiet, everybody. Quiet.

00:33:44Music, professor. All right, you generous people. You are here to enjoy yourselves. And I am here to

00:33:52see that you do. For your pleasure tonight, we have a special offering. Some people call

00:33:59it madness. Others, the devil. But if it is the devil, he's helped to send my baby brother

00:34:06to college. Hasn't he, Marky? Collect the dough, sweetheart. Never mind the speeches.

00:34:12Two dollars a stick, ladies and gentlemen. Two dollars.

00:34:14One for Marky. One for Annie's brother. Dig into your pocket for that big, beautiful,

00:34:26green stuff called money. Take it easy, Ann. The kid might walk in. Who's working the fingers

00:34:31to the bone? Annie, that's who. Who'll be the first to cut up a touch with me? I will.

00:34:36I will. Bobby, where have you been? Little boy shouldn't stay out so late. Bobby, you're

00:34:56rude. Now I know who Marky is. And what he is. And you too. Blow, kid. Go by yourself.

00:35:06a double-malted. Come back tomorrow.

00:35:36A clue. A lead to help crack a case can be a funny thing. Sometimes it doesn't even

00:35:48take much to find. Just someone with enough courage to bring it out in the open. Homicide

00:35:55listened to Hugo's story, then transferred it over to Captain Hayes in the narcotics division.

00:35:59It was a simple story, but with tragic implications. A story like so many others, from so many people,

00:36:08full of ifs. If only he hadn't been afraid. If only he'd turned Marky in. If only he'd

00:36:15listened to Ann and not fired her. If. If only Hugo could make a positive identification.

00:36:21You never know. When you least expect things to happen, they happen. From that minute on,

00:36:35Marky started living in a fishbowl. Lieutenants Mason and Tyne had a string on him 24 hours a

00:36:41day. They got up with him in the morning, followed him around like bloodhounds, and put him to bed

00:36:47at night. And sometimes, they even went visiting. The boys wound up doing plenty of homework on

00:37:04Marky, and it wasn't long before they started adding to their program. Subject, Ann Lester.

00:37:10And we've been living with a guy for a week now, Captain. He's a smart boy. Never oversteps

00:37:19himself. Never anything out in the open. He's been sticking to the old timers ever since that

00:37:24high school episode. We could pick them up anytime. What about his source of income? No score for us

00:37:30yet, Captain. We, um, accidentally got into his apartment. Strictly a mistake. The stuff he gets

00:37:37comes in cans. But unfortunately for us, he'd torn off the label. So all we can do is just sit back

00:37:44and wait till he needs some new stock. We'll keep breathing on him. We've got two things in our favor,

00:37:48time and patience. This Ann Lester girl, Captain. The one whose brother was a suicide. What about her?

00:37:55I've been checking with Alexander down at Homicide. There's a gimmick behind that deal somewhere.

00:38:00All through the coroner's inquest, she kept repeating, it's my fault. It's my fault. That's all I could get

00:38:05out of her. She's been on the habit heavy ever since, with Marky's help. You pick him up if he

00:38:09passes, it may blow the works. You don't, Marky'll have that girl turning cartwheels. She's young and

00:38:15attractive, Captain. You can't tell how much Marky's poured out his little old heart to her.

00:38:20All right, boys, put the bite on him. You got him, boss.

00:38:24Rita, come on. Relax, boys. I'll be with you in a minute. Relax, she says. I'm three years older

00:38:34since she went in to put on a hat. Friend, never rush a woman in any of it.

00:38:42Took you all this time to put that on? I had to curl my feathers. Like it? It's a present from you.

00:38:48You're welcome. Now if the fashion show is over, where are we going?

00:38:50I thought we'd see Ann. She's having a rough time. Blames herself for what happened. She's

00:38:56pretty bitter. Can we console her and cut up a touch, too? Maybe. Hello? It's Ann, Marky.

00:39:04Oh, I've got the shakes bad. Rita's coming over, but it's you I want to see. Thanks, Marky.

00:39:20Get going.

00:39:44Turn right at the next intersection.

00:39:45What'd you do? Get lost? Just keep your pants pressed under that wheel, bright boy.

00:39:54Look, friend, I'm a big boy now. I like to go riding with girls. I've got an appointment

00:39:58to keep. That's right. With Mr. Trainer.

00:40:03Well, in that case, how can I argue?

00:40:05Then my tire went flat and I lost them. If Tang can pick me up, we'll move in on the girl's house.

00:40:35They may have been headed that way. Okay, boss, we'll keep in touch with you.

00:40:49You come along just like a trained seal, Mr. Trainer.

00:40:52What happens, Jonathan? Do I wind up in Santa Monica Bay like Miller?

00:40:56You worried, Marky?

00:40:58Yeah. I never learned to swim.

00:41:01You won't have to. There's no water where you're going.

00:41:04Arizona.

00:41:07Nice dry air, the desert. Good for the help.

00:41:11I want you to roll some stuff in. Only this time, I want to be the only one who knows where you're going.

00:41:16I guess nobody ever told you, Jonathan. I'm an orphan.

00:41:19Just curious about somebody's big sister, that's all.

00:41:22I wouldn't stay awake at night thinking about it.

00:41:25I've got other plans for the big sister.

00:41:27What do I do?

00:41:28Well, there's a little garage just beyond Isla Bend.

00:41:33When you get there, stop and have your tank filled with gas.

00:41:36You'll also have a slow leak in your spare tire, have it changed.

00:41:40The serviceman will know what to do.

00:41:42That's pretty clever, Jonathan.

00:41:44When you get back, call me. I'll have Raymond meet you.

00:41:47How about that gas?

00:41:58Do I fill up with ethyl or regular?

00:42:00No, no. Marky plays better than you do.

00:42:21Say, I wonder where Marky is.

00:42:24That's him.

00:42:25Who are you?

00:42:30Narcotic square.

00:42:39I'll take that one, chum.

00:42:46Get back with the others.

00:42:52You're making a mistake.

00:42:54We just dropped in.

00:42:55You'll have a chance to explain it downtown.

00:42:58Where's Marky?

00:43:01I asked you where Marky is.

00:43:03I don't know anybody named Marky.

00:43:05You'll make it tough on yourself.

00:43:07Never heard of him.

00:43:09Why the cover-up?

00:43:12Like every room had a for rent sign.

00:43:14I guess Marky had more important places to go.

00:43:17What about the girl?

00:43:19Still cutting her baby teeth.

00:43:21Hasn't learned to talk yet.

00:43:22Okay, it's a nice sunny day.

00:43:25Let's all go get a little fresh air.

00:43:27Won't you sit down?

00:43:39Any law against standing?

00:43:41That's your privilege.

00:43:43This may take some time.

00:43:45I'm sure you will find that more comfortable, Miss Lester.

00:43:48What am I, under a microscope or something?

00:43:50You know you will be turned over to the police and charged with violation of the narcotics law.

00:43:55So my name will be in the papers, the courtroom will be crowded, and when I get out of jail, no one will care.

00:44:00Miss Lester, why did your brother kill himself?

00:44:03Well, that part of my life is my business.

00:44:07Keep out of it.

00:44:09But your future life isn't, Miss Lester.

00:44:11That's ours.

00:44:12Whether we stay in it or not depends on you.

00:44:14Believe me, we're only trying to help.

00:44:16I don't need anybody's help.

00:44:18I can take care of myself.

00:44:19None of us is infallible.

00:44:21We all make mistakes.

00:44:23The secret is caring enough not to want to make another one.

00:44:26That means Marky.

00:44:28I told you before, I don't know anybody named Marky.

00:44:31We do, Miss Lester.

00:44:32Do you have any idea what sticking to a man like that will mean to you?

00:44:36The Markys in this world aren't very human, Miss Lester.

00:44:40They use people to get what they want out of life.

00:44:43And when the people are no longer useful to them, they walk away from them.

00:44:48But then it's too late.

00:44:49You're destroyed.

00:44:50Nothing like that will ever happen to me.

00:44:52That's an old story to us, Miss Lester.

00:44:56It happens without you even knowing it.

00:44:58They all start out the way you have.

00:45:00It seems fun.

00:45:01You get your kicks out of life.

00:45:02You forget your troubles.

00:45:04But the troubles are still there, so you try something else.

00:45:07Morphine.

00:45:08Opium, maybe.

00:45:10And there's always a Marky around with a smile and a helping hand.

00:45:14Then he takes the stuff away from you because it costs money to get.

00:45:18But by that time, you can't stop.

00:45:20So you have to pay for it in many ways.

00:45:23I don't believe you.

00:45:24This girl was 23 when this picture was taken a year and a half ago.

00:45:42Would you like to meet her?

00:45:43Matron.

00:45:49Matron.

00:46:03Take another look.

00:46:04You wouldn't believe it was the same girl, would you?

00:46:07There's no hope for her anymore.

00:46:16You're just trying to frighten me.

00:46:21Have the car brought around.

00:46:23Maybe I can change your mind.

00:46:35Hello, Gladys.

00:46:36What do you want, copper?

00:46:39Just want you to meet someone.

00:46:41We've known Gladys a long time.

00:46:43Haven't we, Gladys?

00:46:44The feeling ain't mutual.

00:46:46Do me a favor, will you, Gladys?

00:46:49Show her your arm.

00:46:50What is this?

00:46:51A beauty contest?

00:46:53Come on, sweetheart.

00:46:54You should be used to it.

00:46:56Okay, boys.

00:46:58Take a good look.

00:47:00Enjoy yourselves.

00:47:01That's what happens when you take the needle.

00:47:04All right, let's go.

00:47:04This is where Gladys lived.

00:47:17It's what happens when you get down to boots and shoes.

00:47:20But every penny goes to fill a needle or syringe.

00:47:23Here's where Gladys will eventually wind up.

00:47:37Take a look.

00:47:38You're safe.

00:47:39They're always safe on the outside of a psychopathic board.

00:47:42Go on.

00:47:43Take a look.

00:47:43This is the end of the road, Miss Lester.

00:48:09When you get to this stage, there is no other world.

00:48:30This girl was lucky.

00:48:32She committed suicide.

00:48:33She, too, knew a Marquis.

00:48:36Her name could have been Ann Lester.

00:48:38Could have.

00:48:39But it wasn't.

00:48:48Not much fun, was it, Miss Lester?

00:48:50You seem to think it was.

00:48:52What you saw was your future.

00:48:55We want to save you and all the others from one like it.

00:48:57You help us and you help them.

00:49:00Very touching.

00:49:01We're after the man who supplies Marquis.

00:49:03That's our only chance.

00:49:05If I ever get around to meeting him, I'll call you and introduce you.

00:49:09Too bad you didn't think of that two weeks ago.

00:49:11Your brother might be alive today.

00:49:13All right, the floor show's over.

00:49:15What are we waiting for?

00:49:16Send the matron in.

00:49:20Yes, sir.

00:49:24Take her away.

00:49:33She'll crack.

00:49:34Ann Lester, along with the others, pleaded guilty

00:49:37and was sentenced to 60 days in the Los Angeles County Jail.

00:49:40This was a new world.

00:49:43Strange, bewildering, a little frightening.

00:49:46The new look, exchanged for a drab one.

00:49:49A number instead of a name.

00:49:52A picture to mark her for future identification.

00:50:07For the next 60 days, this was to be her home.

00:50:10Her life, her future, or the end of it,

00:50:14with nothing to keep her company but four bare walls,

00:50:18a window, and cold steel bars.

00:50:3360 days and every day the same.

00:50:36Up when darkness dies, to bed while it's still day.

00:50:43The same monotonous routine.

00:50:46The same thoughts, bitterness, remorse,

00:50:55the feeling she killed her brother,

00:50:57but too ashamed to admit it even to her own self.

00:51:00So, Bob is dead, and you killed him.

00:51:04The only thing you ever really loved.

00:51:08You took and destroyed it.

00:51:10He was so young, and you never gave him a chance to live.

00:51:14He's dead, and you killed him.

00:51:16You killed him.

00:51:18Kid killer.

00:51:19You're a kid killer.

00:51:21No, no.

00:51:23Kid killer.

00:51:24Kid killer.

00:51:26No, no.

00:51:28Kid killer.

00:51:29Kid killer.

00:51:3160 days and 60 nights of the same thing

00:51:34eating its way into her heart and mind.

00:51:37Every face seeming to look at her the same way.

00:51:40Every voice accusing her of the same thing.

00:51:43Kid killer.

00:51:44Kid killer.

00:51:45Kid killer.

00:51:46Kid killer.

00:51:47Kid killer!

00:51:49Kid killer!

00:51:51Kid killer!

00:51:53Kid killer!

00:51:55Kid killer!

00:52:05Kid killer.

00:52:07Oh, no!

00:52:09It isn't true! It isn't true!

00:52:11What isn't true?

00:52:17You better calm down.

00:52:20You'll wind up in Psycho.

00:52:47You better calm down.

00:53:17You better calm down.

00:53:47You better calm down.

00:54:17You better calm down.

00:54:47You better calm down.

00:54:49You better calm down.

00:54:51You better calm down.

00:54:53You sure nobody's been here to see me?

00:55:07You better calm down.

00:55:39You better calm down.

00:55:41I know a lot of people.

00:55:43You better calm down.

00:55:45You better calm down.

00:55:47You better calm down.

00:55:49You better calm down.

00:55:51You better calm down.

00:55:53You better calm down.

00:55:55You better calm down.

00:55:57You better calm down.

00:55:59You better calm down.

00:56:01You better calm down.

00:56:03You better calm down.

00:56:05You better calm down.

00:56:07You better calm down.

00:56:09You better calm down.

00:56:10You better calm down.

00:56:11You better calm down.

00:56:13You better calm down.

00:56:14You better calm down.

00:56:15You better calm down.

00:56:16You better calm down.

00:56:17You better calm down.

00:56:19You better calm down.

00:56:20You better calm down.

00:56:21You better calm down.

00:56:22You better calm down.

00:56:23You better calm down.

00:56:24You better calm down.

00:56:25You better calm down.

00:56:26You better calm down.

00:56:27You better calm down.

00:56:28You better calm down.

00:56:29You better calm down.

00:56:30You better calm down.

00:56:31beautiful. Hello, Marky. Must have been a good girl getting those 10 days out. How is

00:56:36going to girl act in a snake pit like that? We have a lot to talk over. 50 whole days.

00:56:42And nights. That is a real noble thing you did, not talking. I appreciate it. And a friend

00:56:51I do business with appreciates it too. I didn't do it for him, for you, for nobody else but

00:56:56little me. I've got lots of life to make up for. The only thing I'm interested in from

00:57:02now on is money. You learned a lot in 50 days. That isn't all I learned. I may even be able

00:57:09to get my hands on some of that money. Big money, Marky. What they do? Let you out at night

00:57:16to roam the streets? No. I decided to become real domestic. Stayed home every night. Meet

00:57:24lots of people. The profitable kind. Well, that's very interesting. What's the pitch

00:57:31on this? Skip it. I'll work the angle myself. Compared to this deal, you're fooling with

00:57:37nickels and dimes. There's a certain party here from the East, threatening for a big syndicate.

00:57:44At the moment, they're looking to tie into some of that stuff. But I don't think that's the

00:57:49real purpose. I think they're planning to open a branch office. That's a big mouthful.

00:57:55I got it from the mouth the words were put into. The gentleman's girlfriend. She became

00:58:01my roommate. I don't think my man in the front office is going to like that. He may not have

00:58:08anything to say about it. Maybe we should arrange an introduction. I said forget it. Simmer

00:58:15down, little girl. We're partners, remember? You could arrange for me to meet this party.

00:58:23Then I might convince him to do business with Traynor.

00:58:28From the way my roommate spoke, her friend was trained to take, not ask. You introduce

00:58:33me. We might all get in on the taking. I'll call him. She's got the influence.

00:58:39I don't usually talk business at this late hour, but who am I to turn a deaf ear to an honest

00:58:49deal? Since you are my guest, Mr. Gabriel, wouldn't you be more comfortable without your

00:58:55hat? I like it with my hat on. Keeps the draft out of my head. What's the proposition, Mr.

00:59:02Gabriel? Please, Marky. How do I know I can trust you to? Her, I know. She took a rap with a

00:59:09couple of acquaintances of mine. The dolls I know don't give the nod unless it's on the

00:59:14level. I wouldn't have suggested coming here unless I knew the trick could be turned, Mr.

00:59:18Gabriel. Okay, sister, you say so. But you blow the deal and Mr. Romero won't like it.

00:59:26Romero? You heard the name right. We got no secrets. Everything open and above board, right

00:59:32on top of the table. Backed by cash on the line. The delivery of merchandise. Seventy-five

00:59:43grand. The cash isn't hot, Mr. Trainer. We keep it in a deep freeze. You can take it to

00:59:52any bank.

00:59:52I apologize for my thoughts, Mr. Gabriel. That's all right. I understand. When you lay

01:00:01down with dogs, you get up with fleas. Now, what about the stuff? I... Excuse me. Hello? Yes? Uh-huh.

01:00:17Well, this rather upsets me. Are you absolutely sure? All right. Forgive me. My butler in right

01:00:47handman, Raymond, he's been down taking a little inventory at the warehouse. I was hoping

01:00:51to supply you without any delay, but now it seems I don't have that much stuff on hand

01:00:56at the moment. Give me 12 to 18 hours and I'll deliver. What do you say, Marty? Maybe

01:01:01sooner. Where do I pick up? Oh, I'll call you. We'll go together. I'll be waiting. See you

01:01:12around, baby. This deal works out. The boss may give you a nice present. Make it a mink

01:01:18coat. You roll the stuff in. This will be in your pocket tomorrow. I want to see you. Alone.

01:01:32Wait out in the hall, beautiful. Some things are private. You don't mind. Just as long as

01:01:37they pay off.

01:01:39Tomorrow night this time we'll be celebrating.

01:02:08What's my cut?

01:02:09Did we split five grand?

01:02:12It's going to be lonesome driving all the way wherever you're going alone.

01:02:18You make it tough for a man to stay honest.

01:02:21Who's more important, trainer or me?

01:02:23Who brought in the deal and who's your partner?

01:02:28Mark, you should do a little more thinking about yourself.

01:02:31What's happened to your ambition?

01:02:33The things the trainer has and you want.

01:02:35What are you driving at?

01:02:37Your ambition and my lack of conscience, we may get a few connections.

01:02:43Where are we going?

01:02:45Arizona.

01:02:45I think I've been underestimating your talents.

01:02:51Hello, Raymond.

01:03:00It's getting a bit chilly waiting around for you.

01:03:03You should have dropped dead from pneumonia.

01:03:05Yeah, now I remember.

01:03:07It was in Chicago about five years ago.

01:03:09I was on homicide.

01:03:11I picked you up just when you were about to give Big Sam a bath.

01:03:15It's up a concrete.

01:03:16I don't forget you, Mason.

01:03:18Please, Raymond.

01:03:19The name is Gabriel.

01:03:20Mr. Gabriel.

01:03:21You know, your boss and I have just made a deal.

01:03:24I'm about to take over his warehouse.

01:03:26Since I'm a stranger in town, maybe you'd better show the way.

01:03:34And just when I was leaving, these jerks drove in with two truckloads of canned tomatoes.

01:03:38But the real ones.

01:03:39Yeah, I'll be here all night unpacking and counting this stuff.

01:03:42Okay, trainer.

01:03:47Nicely done, Raymond.

01:03:49You missed your vocation.

01:03:50You should have been an actor.

01:03:52But then they do put on plays where you're going, don't they?

01:03:56Shall we start?

01:03:57Okay.

01:04:12You should have been an actor.

01:04:15You should have been an actor.

01:04:16You should have been an actor.

01:04:17You should have been an actor.

01:04:18You should have been an actor.

01:04:19You should have been an actor.

01:04:20You should have been an actor.

01:04:21You should have been an actor.

01:04:22You should have been an actor.

01:04:23You should have been an actor.

01:04:24You should have been an actor.

01:04:25You should have been an actor.

01:04:26You should have been an actor.

01:04:27You should have been an actor.

01:04:28You should have been an actor.

01:04:29You should have been an actor.

01:04:30You should have been an actor.

01:04:31You should have been an actor.

01:04:32You should have been an actor.

01:04:33You should have been an actor.

01:04:34You should have been an actor.

01:04:35You should have been an actor.

01:04:36You should have been an actor.

01:04:37Nice cozy little place you got here.

01:04:59I'd say it has its good points.

01:05:01Raymond.

01:05:03Raymond.

01:05:07My boss will never forgive me anything goes wrong with this setup.

01:05:24We all have to take our chances, Mr. Gabriel.

01:05:27What fun would there be in winning if we didn't?

01:05:29I thought I told you to leave her out of this.

01:05:38You're thinking for too many people, Jonathan.

01:05:41Whatever she's in, I'm in.

01:05:43We're partners on this deal.

01:05:46Settle your problems on your own time.

01:05:48I'm here for business.

01:05:51Hello?

01:05:53Yes?

01:05:54Go ahead, please.

01:05:56Hello?

01:05:56Yes, this is Traynor.

01:05:57Thank you very much.

01:06:04I appreciate your calling.

01:06:08That was Mr. Romero, Mr. Gabriel.

01:06:11Only he doesn't know any Mr. Gabriel.

01:06:13What is this?

01:06:15Why don't you ask her?

01:06:16It was she that dreamed up Gabriel.

01:06:20That wasn't a very nice thing to do.

01:06:27Keep him covered.

01:06:40Keep him covered.

01:06:44The End

01:07:14Get him out of here. Come on.

01:07:33Thanks, Ann, for all your help.

01:07:42I don't think we'll have to worry about filling in this blank space with another picture of you.

01:07:47No, Captain. But it's you I have to thank.

01:07:50And Lieutenants Mason and Tyne.

01:07:52It hasn't only been my fight alone, but everybody's.
