DON' T THINK BECAUSE

I' M PLAYING IT SMART THAT I' M GETTING SOFT.

WELL, MAYBE I' M GIVING

MYSELF TOO MUCH CREDIT FOR YOUR GOOD BEHAVIOR,

BUT I' M GLAD YOU DIDN' TRY IT, GORDAN.

YOU' D PROBABLY BE ON

YOUR WAY TO THE MORGUE BY NOW.

IF I WAS, YOU WOULDN' CRY ABOUT IT.

WELL, MAYBE

YOU' RE RIGHT.

HEY, HOW' D A GUY LIKE YOU

EVER BECOME A COPPER?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, I MEAN YOU AIN' T A BAD GUY AFTER ALL.

YOU DIDN' T THINK SO MUCH

OF ME WHEN YOU FIRST CAME UP HERE.

YOU WERE:

PRETTY TOUGH THEN.

I' M STILL PRETTY TOUGH.

I JUST HAPPENED TO REALIZE

TODAY IS SATURDAY,

AND SATURDAY IS ONE DAY

I CAN' T WIN, THAT' S ALL.

OH, SO THAT' S

TELEGRAM FOR YOU.

TELEGRAM?

WHY, THEY' RE CRAZY.

SOMEBODY' S KIDDING ME,

WARDEN.

NO, IT' S TRUE.

WE INVESTIGATED IT.

NO, THERE AIN' T A CHANCE.

SHE WAS JUST UP HERE.

THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HER.

IT' S AN AUTOMOBILE

ACCIDENT.

SHE' S NOT EXPECTED

TO LIVE.

KAY.

SHE CAN' T DIE, WARDEN.

IF I COULD ONLY DO

SOMETHING.

WARDEN, SHE' S THE ONLY

THING I EVER HAD...

AND I CAN' T DO A THING.

BEING BURIED IN HERE WAS...

WAS NEVER REALLY TOUGH

UNTIL NOW.

I KNOW.

YOU' RE HIT PRETTY HARD.

SHE' S THE ONLY THING

I EVER HAD.

GORDAN...

SUPPOSE I TOLD YOU

THERE WAS A TRAIN LEAVING IN 20 MINUTES,

AND I LET YOU GO

TO IT.

ON YOUR HONOR, WOULD YOU

COME BACK TONIGHT?

OF COURSE, YOU KNOW

WHAT IT' D MEAN TO ME

IF I LET YOU GO AND YOU

DIDN' T COME BACK.

I UNDERSTAND.

WARDEN, I NEVER BROKE

MY WORD, SEE?

AND I WON' T BREAK IT NOW

TO A GOOD GUY.

AFTER WHAT YOU' RE DOING

FOR ME, I' LL COME BACK.

EVEN IF IT MEANS THE CHAIR,

I' LL COME BACK.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU, WARDEN.

GOOD LUCK.

[FAST JAZZ PLAYING]

DID SHE SQUAWK?

NO, BUT SHE' S GOING TO.

WHY DIDN' T YOU THROW A SCARE INTO HER?

SHE DOESN' T SCARE.

THINKS SHE' S GOING

TO DIE ANYWAY.

YOU' RE LUCKY

THAT MUG OF HERS IS STILL IN PRISON.

THAT ISN' T WORRYING ME.

IT' S JUST THAT I AIN' ACHING TO GET THE SETUP THERE MYSELF.

BEFORE SHE KICKS OFF,

YOU BETTER FIND A WAY TO MAKE HER CLEAR ME.

SHE WILL...

FOR $10,000.

WHAT FOR?

TO HELP GORDAN.

SHE STILL THINKS SHE

CAN GET HIM OUT OF PRISON.

SHE SAID THAT?

YEAH.

IT' S A LOT OF MONEY.

LOT OF MONEY.

SING SING' S

A LOT OF PRISON.

ALL RIGHT, DRAW UP

THE PAPERS. I' LL GET HER TO SIGN ' EM.

WHY DIDN' T SHE GE KILLED WHEN SHE JUMPED? I NEVER GET A BREAK.

THAT' S TOUGH.

[DOORBELL BUZZES]

I' M SORRY. MISS MANNERS
