[00:04:54]>> Four orange specials. What else?

[00:05:02]>> It's working. Don't need worry.

[00:05:12]That's two bucks.

[00:05:23]All right.

[00:05:40]>> I need this.

[00:05:41]>> Oh, you can say that again. Well, you didn't open them.

[00:05:45]>> It's easy.

[00:05:49]>> What is it?

[00:05:50]>> What is it? Can't you read? Orange special. Best there is. Four bits a bottle.

[00:06:06]>> It's different, but it's good.

[00:06:17]Oh, dad knows what's good for pretty chicks.

[00:06:40]Oh, Duka, I feel so good right now.

[00:06:44]You're going to feel a lot better than good, sweetheart.

[00:07:01]Hey. Uh, you sure your old lady ain't going to come busting all things up?

[00:07:05]>> No, I told you she went to Vegas with my new uncle.

[00:07:11]>> Boy, you get a new uncle every week, don't you?

[00:07:13]>> Sometimes, too. It's my old lady.

[00:07:33]All set.

[00:07:34]>> Oh, good. Uh, we better get a couple more bottles to take along, huh?

[00:07:52]Hey Freddy, Come on.

[00:08:50]Freddy.

[00:09:45]Where did they go?

[00:09:48]What's the difference? Who needs him?

[00:10:23]Come on.

[00:10:34]Heat.

[00:10:43]Why don't you say something?

[00:10:48]>> I can't think of anything to say.

[00:11:28]Morning, Peg.

[00:11:32]Oh, hi Peg.

[00:11:33]>> Hi.

[00:11:37]>> What's the matter?

[00:11:42]>> Don't look so serious, would you?

[00:11:44]There's nothing to worry about.

[00:11:47]>> I know, but I I should have called my mother, too. Well, >> call her now.

[00:11:52]You could tell her that was late last night. You didn't want to disturb her, and you stayed at your girlfriend Mickey's house. Simple.

[00:11:59]Good morning. Want some coffee? Pay.

[00:12:03]>> Now, look, uh, Freddy and I got some business downtown, so Mickey will drive you home in Fred's heap. Okay.

[00:12:09]>> Okay.

[00:12:11]>> Don't worry.

[00:12:14]Let's go.

[00:12:39]Hello, mother.

[00:12:41]I'm sorry I didn't call you last night, but it was so late and I thought you'd be asleep.

[00:12:49]Oh, I I stayed with Mickey.

[00:12:53]Mickey, I told you about her. remember?

[00:12:57]Oh, well, she'll drive me home in a little while.

[00:13:02]I know. And I'm sorry.

[00:13:06]Yes.

[00:13:08]Goodbye.

[00:13:13]Come on, kid. Stop worrying.

[00:13:23]The way you look, you think the world was coming to an end.

[00:13:28]>> You must think I'm awfully cheap after last night.

[00:13:31]>> Oh, Peg, honey, you're a big girl now. A lot of chicks your age is married and got kids already.

[00:13:37]>> That's just it. They are married.

[00:13:47]>> What do you want me to do? Lose money?

[00:13:50]The hell of this? I got a lot of dough tied up here. I'm offering you top dollar. Top dollar? 40 bucks for two radios worth 100 a piece. So who sent for you? That's my price. Take it or leave it.

[00:14:04]>> All right. Give me the dough. Chisler.

[00:14:05]>> Hey, nice to call your friends names, Duke. What if I was to call you names?

[00:14:10]>> Well, get the bread, would you? We're in a hurry. We ain't got all day.

[00:14:22]Here you are. $40 cash.

[00:14:36]Thanks, boy.

[00:14:42]>> Hey, Die Boy, wait up.

[00:14:52]Look, uh, radios I got a lot. Wire wheels I ain't.

[00:14:58]I make you a good deal.

[00:15:01]>> What do you call a good deal?

[00:15:03]>> Well, maybe uh maybe $20 a piece, but I want a full set, not one at a time.

[00:15:10]>> No dice. Not for 80 bucks. 100 a set.

[00:15:12]Deal.

[00:15:13]>> Dookie boy.

[00:15:13]>> They're worth 400 and you know it.

[00:15:15]>> Yeah, new but not used.

[00:15:17]>> We got a deal.

[00:15:21]All right. $100 a set, but I got to have the tires that go with them.

[00:15:26]>> Let's get out of this tub.

[00:15:37]See you in a couple of days.

[00:16:02]Why those dirty little crooks?

[00:16:11]>> Don't be mad at Mickey.

[00:16:14]>> She thought she was doing the right thing telling me.

[00:16:16]>> Well, tune in, sweetheart. I got a big message for you. I got along all right without you before I can do it again.

[00:16:22]>> You know you don't mean that, Duke.

[00:16:24]>> Look, all my life I got jerks telling me what to do and how to do it.

[00:16:27]>> No more. Not you or anyone else.

[00:16:32]>> Would you like to take me home?

[00:16:38]>> Gee, sweetheart, you don't understand.

[00:16:41]You just don't understand.

[00:16:44]I should have known better to mess with a chick like you.

[00:16:50]>> You're the one that doesn't understand.

[00:16:53]>> Look, Duke, I'm not any different than most girls. Someday I want a home, a family, and >> family? Sure. Sounds great till it gets hung around your neck.

[00:17:02]>> My old man could tell you all about it.

[00:17:03]He turned gray worrying about the rent every month. Not me.

[00:17:06]>> So, he had to work. Is that worse than stealing? Worse than getting a caught and going to jail? Where do you get the stealing bit?

[00:17:14]>> You ought to go join the Salvation Army.

[00:17:15]You'd be great voting sermons down a main street. Let's get out of here.

[00:17:39]Hey, now that's what I call a sharp looking chick.

[00:17:43]>> Find out where she lives and then you can steal her radio.

[00:17:46]>> You want to walk from here?

[00:17:50]>> Sure a shame to waste such a hot wagon in a dame, though. Probably drives like an old lady from Pasadena.

[00:17:57]You sure you can start that, sweetie? Or uh you want to push Heat.

[00:18:32]Heat.

[00:18:42]Heat up here.

[00:19:32]Duke, there's a policeman following us.

[00:19:35]>> Well, we better get out of here.

[00:19:38]>> Duke, slow down, please.

[00:19:55]Wow.

[00:20:08]Captain Now, crying isn't going to bring that officer back to life.

[00:20:21]>> Not even the tears of his kids will do that.

[00:20:29]Couldn't help it.

[00:20:33]I I tried to control the car.

[00:20:39]I I couldn't help it.

[00:20:48]>> I want some answers from you, young lady, and I want to know.

[00:20:54]>> Yes, sir.

[00:20:55]>> Janice Wheeler, 1423 Delmont Drive.

[00:21:02]>> Please don't anymore.

[00:21:06]Now you you say there were two juveniles in the car to cut you off, huh?

[00:21:12]>> Are you sure you can't remember what makeup of vehicle it was?

[00:21:15]>> All I remember was it it was all fixed up. The top was down.

[00:21:26]The motor was showing. Oh, that's all I remember.

[00:21:30]>> This girl think was the a Ford, a Chevy, was a big car or a light mate? Frank, I just don't remember.

[00:21:46]Take her upstairs and book her on suspicion of manslaughter.

[00:21:56]Get her out of here.

[00:22:00]Come on, miss.

[00:22:15]And now for the local news. Tragedy struck again on our highways this afternoon. A motorcycle officer identified as William Kenny was instantly killed in a collision on Sephova Boulevard. He leaves a family of three.

[00:22:55]Did >> you got that stretch up yet?

[00:22:56]>> Yeah, it's coming off now. D, >> you seen the paper, dookie boy?

[00:22:59]>> No. Why?

[00:23:01]You know that cop that got himself splattered all over the concrete yesterday? What about him? Funny thing, they arrested a girl. She said two kids in the car cut her off causing the accident and the kids kept on going. A maroon and white custom convertible. She said, "I guess the cops would give a lot to get that car." Hey, Dookie boy, >> you got some funny ideas, Joe. For >> me? You know me better than that, Dookie boy.

[00:23:32]You want me to soften them up, Duke?

[00:23:36]What's the matter with you guys? Can't you take a rib?

[00:23:39]>> Yeah, we can take a rib, Joe.

[00:23:44]We can take yours and kick them in.

[00:23:47]>> Die.

[00:23:47]>> Shut up, Crumb. Just listen. If the fuzz gets any ideas about us, you're going to be in worse shape than that sickle cop.

[00:23:53]If we get busted, you get busted, too.

[00:23:56]Only worse.

[00:23:58]Just so you get the message. Oh, >> I think you got the message now.

[00:24:07]>> It's the way to do it. Did you have to bust Peg in order to keep her buttoned up?

[00:24:11]>> You don't have to worry about Peg. She's in and up to her neck now. She does what I tell her. She even got her old lady on that phony job kick.

[00:24:26]Hey, what happened pal? You fall down, hurt yourself, huh?

[00:24:31]>> Yeah. Oh, >> I guess I did.

[00:24:48]Coffee pig. No thanks.

[00:24:54]You know, I've been thinking, dear. I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't think you want to take this job.

[00:25:00]After all, I'm working. Look, mother, let's face it. We need the money.

[00:25:05]Besides, you can't do it all by yourself. Got to get a job sometime, so I might as well get started while I have the chance.

[00:25:12]>> But there's night work. If it was a day job, Peg, I wouldn't work.

[00:25:16]>> All the girls start on the night shift.

[00:25:18]It's easy to break them in when the switchboards aren't so busy.

[00:25:22]>> Well, I don't know, Peg. I wish you wouldn't. I'll be all right, Mom.

[00:25:26]Mickey's on the same shift. It'll be fun.

[00:25:30]Oh, golly. It's after 7:30.

[00:25:34]I better hurry. Mickey, if you waited for me, Peg, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have you.

[00:25:42]>> Everything will be fine, mother. You'll see.

[00:25:46]Heat. Heat.

[00:26:30]Hello.

[00:26:36]What happened?

[00:27:16]We got company, kids.

[00:27:27]Cops.

[00:27:57]Just thinking bulls always poking their noses would have not wanted.

[00:28:08]>> Like a cold drink, fellas.

[00:28:10]>> Business pretty good. Hello.

[00:28:12]>> You can make a living.

[00:28:14]>> You must have to sell an awful lot of that soda pop to make this joint pay.

[00:28:18]>> Well, I'm not interested in the money so much. I just like to have the kids have a good place to come so they can stay out of trouble.

[00:28:26]>> Besides, I like kids.

[00:28:31]I'll bet.

[00:28:36]>> I hate cops. You going to fight city hall?

[00:28:42]>> I'll be back in a minute. What are you going to do?

[00:28:46]>> I don't know yet, but I'll figure something.

[00:28:50]>> Shouldn't you go with him?

[00:28:52]>> Uh-uh. When Duke wants me along, he says so.

[00:29:14]Bye-bye.

[00:29:48]You like another one, fellas?

[00:29:50]>> No thanks. We're not supposed to drink on duty.

[00:29:53]>> There's nothing in that soda pop. Right, Lou?

[00:29:57]>> Sure.

[00:30:17]Hey, you want to pick up on a real crazy scene? Outside right now. Outside.

[00:30:25]>> What is it, Duke?

[00:30:26]>> You'll see, sweetheart.

[00:30:43]What's the matter?

[00:30:44]>> My door's locked.

[00:30:46]>> Open it.

[00:30:51]>> I don't have the key.

[00:30:53]>> What do you mean you don't have the key?

[00:31:02]Oh no. Of all the dumb stunts. Wait a minute. I know I didn't lock my door. I could swear. And what about your door?

[00:31:13]We've been had >> All right. Who's the wise guy?

[00:31:28]>> Is there something wrong, officer?

[00:31:30]>> I want to know who locked that car.

[00:31:33]>> Hey, do any of you cats know who locked the officer's car?

[00:31:38]>> Nobody here, officer.

[00:31:45]You got any ideas, bright boy?

[00:31:48]>> I don't know. Maybe guess we're going to break in the window.

[00:31:51]>> Oh, how you going to explain that to the sergeant?

[00:31:58]>> We could just find the punks that did it.

[00:32:00]>> Oh, sure. They're going to come right out and tell us. Besides, what good would it do? We still can't get in the car.

[00:32:07]You know the regulations. Never leave a key in an unattended vehicle.

[00:32:12]>> Well, anybody can forget.

[00:32:14]>> Yeah. Well, you get yourself a dime and get in there and call the station. Tell them to get a guy out here with a duplicate set. Before I forget, I'm supposed to be a peace officer.

[00:32:27]>> I don't have any money.

[00:32:45]This looks like it.

[00:32:48]>> Yes. I'm almost positive.

[00:32:50]>> Now, this is a 1956 Ford convertible.

[00:32:53]Now, was there anything different about the car you saw in this photograph other than what you told me?

[00:32:59]>> The wheels, they look different.

[00:33:01]Real shiny. I remember.

[00:33:04]They look they look different than most wheels.

[00:33:07]>> Not the wheels, Miss Wheeler. You mean the hub gaps, don't you?

[00:33:11]>> I guess so. I I don't know very much about cars, Lieutenant.

[00:33:15]>> But you aren't sure it was this model car.

[00:33:17]>> Oh, yes. I'm almost positive it was one just like it. But I had the impression it was Well, it was sort of lower than the one in the picture, but I know it was the same kind of car.

[00:33:31]I couldn't be mistaken about that, Lieutenant.

[00:33:33]>> What you probably saw is a custom version of a 56 Ford. Now, these kids uh lower the chassis and gingerbread the wheels with these big chrome hub caps, and sometimes they take off the hood and chrome the engine. You know, >> I had no idea a car like that could match speed to the sports car.

[00:33:50]>> You'd be surprised what they can do to a stock car, Mr. Wheeler. You know, I've seen Model A Fords that can hit 140 mph.

[00:33:58]I don't know what I can do to help, Lieutenant. And if you got any suggestions, I'll do whatever I can.

[00:34:03]>> Well, just find the car, Mr. Wheeler.

[00:34:04]We'll take care of the rest.

[00:34:06]>> I mean what I say, Lieutenant.

[00:34:09]Well, I've got an idea. Maybe it'll help. This might be one time a citizen can do something besides sit around and criticize.

[00:34:16]>> What'd you have in mind?

[00:34:18]>> Come here.

[00:34:45]private investigator is working with working with the police. Check every vehicle of that year and make in the state if necessary. Lieutenant Brian of the traffic division states that the driver of the Ford, when found, will be subject to prosecution on a charge of felony manslaughter and hit-and- run felony.

[00:35:09]Wheeler's daughter is positive she can identify the driver of the death car.

[00:35:16]>> Oh, this looks like a lot of grief, honey. That Wheeler creep starts putting the heat on with private bulls, they're going to tag my heap sooner or later.

[00:35:23]big trouble.

[00:35:25]>> No, not now that Duke, he's >> he's straight.

[00:35:30]>> You never know till you try a guy.

[00:35:34]Answer me one question.

[00:35:36]If you could keep from going to the bucket by putting the finger on Duke, what would you do? Well, I'll tell you what you'd do. The same thing Duke would do in your place. You'd feel real bad about rating, but you'd rat just the same. and you know it.

[00:35:55]From here on out, we steer clear of him.

[00:35:57]All right.

[00:35:58]>> Oh, Mickey can't do a thing like that.

[00:36:00]>> And that goes for Peg, too.

[00:36:15]Real pounds.

[00:36:17]Little trouble. They chickening out like regular squares. Afraid I'll cop and get myself off light.

[00:36:24]Do you think they'll tell?

[00:36:25]>> Uh, not unless they get busted before I do. And there ain't much chance of that.

[00:36:30]They're scared that I'll cop out on them. Put the finger on them.

[00:36:33]>> But the police don't know it was us.

[00:36:35]>> Not yet. But they will sooner or later.

[00:36:37]That dame will put the finger on me. But >> how can she?

[00:36:40]>> Because that heap is registered to me.

[00:36:42]That's how. Right now, the bulls are going through a DMV checking out every heap like that in the county. They check the license application. It gets the registration. My description's on it.

[00:36:51]They put two and two together, bring me in so the Dame can check me over, then I have it.

[00:36:56]>> But they can't blame it all on you.

[00:36:59]>> What chance have I got against Miss Brit's word? They'll put the blocks to me. But good.

[00:37:04]>> Well, there must be some way out.

[00:37:07]If we could get to the girl, talk to her. Are you kidding? But it's worth a chance.

[00:37:14]What difference can it make to her? Are you going to jail isn't going to solve anything? I know I can make her listen to reason.

[00:37:21]Will you try, Duke?

[00:37:29]>> What can we lose?

[00:37:37]>> Don't talk to no one but the chick herself.

[00:37:44]>> Hello.

[00:37:46]>> Hello. Hello. I'd like to speak to Miss Jonas Janice Wheeler, please.

[00:37:51]>> Well, this is Miss Wheeler. Who is this?

[00:37:54]>> Uh, you don't know me, Miss Wheeler, but I think I might be of some help to you.

[00:37:58]>> Who is this?

[00:38:00]>> I haven't got time to explain, but if you want some information about the accident, just listen to me.

[00:38:07]>> I'm listening.

[00:38:09]>> This is very important. It means a great deal to someone. And if there's any real kindness in you, you'll do what I I ask.

[00:38:17]Go on.

[00:38:19]>> I'd like to meet you somewhere where we can talk without anybody interfering.

[00:38:23]>> You say it's something about the accident.

[00:38:26]>> Yes, but we can't talk to anybody but you. Will you come to where I ask you?

[00:38:31]It'll save an awful lot of trouble. But you must be alone.

[00:38:36]>> Where shall I meet you?

[00:38:38]>> You better get a pencil. It's kind of involved.

[00:38:43]>> Had that before. Maybe she changed her mind.

[00:38:54]Well, Duke, it isn't an easy place to find. Maybe she got on the wrong road.

[00:39:00]>> Yeah, maybe.

[00:39:03]Give her 5 minutes more.

[00:39:10]Hey, car's coming. Maybe it's her.

[00:39:16]You better stay out of sight. If she sees you right off, she may keep on going.

[00:39:20]>> Yeah.

[00:39:45]Are you Miss Wheeler?

[00:39:46]>> Are you the girl who phoned?

[00:39:48]>> Yes. Thanks for coming.

[00:39:50]>> You said you had some information about the accident. If it's money you'd want, I've got >> Oh, no. I wasn't thinking anything like that. I'm just trying to help someone in trouble.

[00:40:00]>> Please say what you've got to say. I haven't got all day, miss. Whatever your name means.

[00:40:04]>> Please don't be angry. I'm just trying to help someone. the driver of the car who caused the accident.

[00:40:10]>> Yes. Only Well, he didn't mean that anybody should get hurt. Honestly, he didn't.

[00:40:15]>> Where is he?

[00:40:27]That's the car.

[00:40:30]And you, you're the girl.

[00:40:41]What are you doing? The police will be very interested in this number. Thank you very much.

[00:40:47]>> No, you can't. I'm going to the police.

[00:51:21]>> What do you mean? Where are we going?

[00:51:23]>> I don't know. Any place. An all night movie, a hamburger joint, any place but here.

[00:51:28]>> Honey, what's bugging you anyway?

[00:51:31]>> Suppose Duke comes by and wants in. I don't want any part of that. We've got enough troubles of our own.

[00:51:47]But you must be mistaken. I know she's working there. Please check. She's a new girl, Margaret Dale, on the night shift.

[00:52:19]Huh?

[00:52:20]>> Mhm. Oh my heck.

[00:54:41]But when she started yelling, she was going for the cops.

[00:54:45]I guess I I must have went sort of crazy.

[00:54:52]I just wanted to scare her, not do what I did.

[00:55:03]You believe me, don't you, Peg?

[00:55:08]You know, I didn't mean to kill her. It was an accident, honest.

[00:55:13]>> And at the cafe, was that an accident, too?

[00:55:17]>> In the gas station, man.

[00:55:19]>> I had to do it. We had to have to get away.

[00:55:22]>> Get away.

[00:55:24]Are you kidding?

[00:55:25]>> Shut up.

[00:55:28]>> Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

[00:55:41]Well, you for now.

[00:55:45]All right. Thanks very much. We'll get in touch with you if we need you, Mr. Jared.

[00:55:50]That was no mistake. The gas station attendants identified your daughter.

[00:55:55]>> Oh, no.

[00:55:58]Now, try to hold yourself together, Mr. Dale.

[00:56:02]>> Oh. Oh Lord, how >> what was happen?

[00:56:08]>> All her life she was clean and good and now this.

[00:56:14]What kind of a place is this that can undo a life in a few months?

[00:56:17]>> It's not much different than most towns.

[00:56:21]>> I suppose there's an answer somewhere. I wish I heavenly find it.

[00:56:27]Now, from what you told me, Peg's a decent girl.

[00:56:32]Well, not the first or the last time it'll happen.

[00:56:36]Small town girls secure all their life and suddenly the security's gone.

[00:56:42]Nice little towns turned to dirty gutters and stuckle rat traps in the wrong end of the city.

[00:56:48]than this.

[00:57:15]Dismissed.

[00:57:18]20. murder.

[00:57:19]>> And that sums up the latest developments to this hour. We will return at 5:00 with a full report on the brutal slain of Miss Janice Wheeler, daughter of Mr. James Wheeler, wealthy contractor.

[00:57:38]I guess they still think we're hauled up in the city somewhere.

[00:57:43]We better get rolling.

[00:57:44]>> Do listen to me, please.

[00:57:52]I'm listening.

[00:57:54]>> This is no good. Keep on like this and more people will be hurt. We've got to give ourselves up.

[00:58:03]>> You've got a case, haven't you?

[00:58:15]I'd rather blow my brains out with this then let those cops get me in that back room again.

[00:58:23]>> Back room?

[00:58:25]>> Yeah, back room. I was 15 the first time.

[00:58:30]I remember it like it was 5 minutes ago.

[00:58:35]>> They beat you?

[00:58:37]Like I said, it was the first time.

[00:58:42]I only wish I could see one of their faces now. You thought it was all just kicks, didn't you? Clipping junk out of cars like like little punks from jerk towns on Halloween night or something.

[00:58:56]Not me. Every time we pulled a score, I was laughing inside at the crummy cops.

[00:59:02]>> But you can't blame all of them for what a few did.

[00:59:06]Did you ever get a good look at a cop's badge?

[00:59:13]Right across the top, it says policeman.

[00:59:20]By the time the crud's wearing at 3 months, he thinks it says God.

[00:59:27]I'd like to tell him what I think the word should be.

[00:59:34]Then you have no idea where they might be heading, huh?

[00:59:36]>> No, sir. We heard about him taking that man's car >> on the radio at the hamburger stand.

[00:59:44]>> I know Freddy and me is putting our necks in a sling by coming here, but we just couldn't stand not knowing if Peg was okay. She's a good kid, Lieutenant.

[00:59:52]We're the ones that got her into this.

[00:59:54]>> Well, then you don't think she's with Duke of her own free will?

[00:59:57]>> No. No, not a chance.

[00:59:59]>> We just hope he ain't killed her, too.

[01:00:03]All right, go on vote.

[01:00:06]>> What about the stuff we told you?

[01:00:09]Well, >> I have a talk with the assistant district attorney. I uh I think he'll be willing to be considerate when he learns what you've told me about Doovie. No. Uh you took the right step in coming to us before we had to go after you. You got the addresses, >> right?

[01:00:25]Go on, Viv.

[01:00:36]We got to get off this road.

[01:01:20]Car 21, roadblock be covered.

[01:01:23]Car 14, position that road block A.

[01:01:26]Over.

[01:01:31]Highway patrols got checkpoints here on 99 and six. Sheriff departments are covering subsidiary roads through LA and Ventur counties in the 10-mi area by car and air patrol. Just a matter of time.

[01:02:11]We'll stay here till it gets dark.

[01:02:14]>> Is that all you can do? Paul, knock it off, will you?

[01:02:18]>> What do you expect me to do?

[01:02:27]>> Come on. Come on. Come on.

[01:02:30]>> Well, you Duke. Duke. Let's get ourselves up before anything else happens. Please.

[01:02:59]Take the keys and get out of here. Come on, take them, will you? Before I change my mind. Will you take them? What do I got to do? Write you a letter or something? But >> what about you? What are you going to do?

[01:03:11]Look, get out of here, will you? I don't want you around.

[01:03:21]I should have known better than mess with a dame like you. Chicks like you belong to church or Sunday school or something.

[01:03:27]Now, will you get out of here?

[01:03:33]What do I got to do? Wrap you in the mouth or something? Now get out of here.

[01:03:41]All right.

[01:04:04]When you see the bulls, tell them old dookie boy is waiting for Heat. Heat.

[01:05:48]on our position. Ryan, we'll wait a while.

[01:05:59]We can't wait much longer.

[01:06:02]>> But he's afraid. He won't give himself up. He told me he'd rather die.

[01:06:09]Policeman beat him when he was little.

[01:06:11]He wants you to kill him.

[01:06:14]>> I hope he doesn't make us.

[01:06:16]>> I try to tell myself that he was lying about being beaten. I mean, policemen don't hurt kids, do they?

[01:06:26]>> Well, it happens, Peg.

[01:06:29]When it does, this is what it brings.

[01:06:32]>> Why?

[01:06:34]Grown men.

[01:06:36]It's hard to believe.

[01:06:37]>> Stupidity. Same reason we once had chain gangs, hot boxes, and the whit. The stupidity.

[01:06:45]Oh, education takes a long time, Peg. A very long time.

[01:06:50]for all of us.

[01:06:52]>> Brian, I'm having my boys move in. This is your baby. Do you still want to take over?

[01:06:58]>> Yeah, it's my baby.

[01:07:00]>> What?

[01:07:02]>> Nothing. I was just muttering to myself.

[01:07:18]You still want to try to talk him out?

[01:07:22]>> What have I got to lose?

[01:07:24]>> Nothing but your life.

[01:07:57]Heat. Heat.

[01:08:25]You haven't got a chance, boy. Now, why don't you come out before things get out of hand, son?

[01:08:33]Watch him.

[01:08:37]Duke.

[01:08:51]Now, now Enemy fire.

[01:10:04]Hey, >> come on.

[01:10:19]Lieutenant.

[01:10:20]>> Yeah.

[01:10:21]>> I think you better have this.

[01:10:28]Listen to this, Peg.

[01:10:31]To who may concern, Peg had nothing to do with this. She tried to make me do the right thing and give myself up.

[01:10:40]I forced her to come with me. It's all my fault. Everything.

[01:10:46]Don't pick on her. She's a good kid.

[01:10:49]Signed Walder Willis.

[01:10:53]This should help you in the most important part of the case. But uh I'm afraid you, Mickey, and Fred will have to answer for the rest.

[01:11:01]That's up to the courts. Let's go.

[01:11:26]And that's a wrap on another classic complete with Film Fox. Hope to see you on the next premiere. Thanks for watching.
