Welcome home, Rocky.
Compliments of the house.
Why?
I see all the big shots when
they get off and on the trains.
If they got their picture
on the front page,
Paper's on me.
Here.
Take a look.
Nice picture, huh?
Add 5 years to it,
It would look
just like me.
Gee, it must feel great-
Out of the jug
and a big shot again.
You lead some life,
huh, Rocky?
Yeah.
I'm a real dinger.
Rocky.
How you been?
You might say all right,
Gus, but I wouldn't.
Treated you rough,
did they?
Oh, I got a couple
of bruises... up there.
Well, you're out now.
Yeah,
and what's 5 years?
You could do that just
sitting around and waiting.
Yeah.
Aren't you gonna
say hello
To your buddy Delong?
It's been
a long time, Rocky.
I guess I changed.
Glad to see you.
I owe you plenty.
Right now I'll
settle for a drink.
I've forgotten
the right words.
I wouldn't even know
how to order.
Let me do it.
I'll buy.
Homecoming present?
That, plus the fact
I'd like to talk to you.
The man wants
to buy.
Never argue
with a policeman.
A detective.
Thanks.
What do you say, Rocky?
Well, I had different plans
for my first one,
But, uh, my friend here
looks thirsty.
I'm always thirsty.
No hard feelings,
Rocky.
Don't bet any large amounts
on that, Gus.
Could have been worse.
A month ago,
you were up for life,
Then your friend here
Turns up
with your alibi.
I gave you that same alibi
5 years ago.
You'll have to admit
it was a little thin.
You said you were out
drinking with some marines
When the holdup
took place,
Only the marines
never show up.
We landed,
only 5 years late.
Sorry to keep you
waitin', pal.
No, that's ok.
I just would have
wasted my time
Having fun, anyway.
We all got
shipped out
After
that night.
I guess you
don't remember
The other boys.
I couldn't remember
any of your names.
Then they all
got it
One way
or another.
I misplaced a leg
somewhere,
So I never heard about
the mess you were in
Until I got back,
about a month ago.
about your getting out?
Well, how should he feel?
It's no comfort station
they run up there.
Too bad he couldn't
dig up a marine
To alibi him.
Look, Gus, if this is just
a social get-Together,
Why not skip it?
I want to talk to you
About the money
from the holdup.
You should read my pardon
that says I didn't
Have anything to do
with the holdup.
$100,000,
And not a penny of it
has ever shown up.
Maybe it got inflated
right out of existence.
where that money is.
Figure anything you want.
I'm a citizen again.
I'm gonna keep
a tail on you, Rocky,
24 hours a day.
It shouldn't be
too tough a job.
I'm not going
anywhere.
When you do,
we'll be right with you.
Where do you figure
I might go
That would
interest you, Gus?
You'll make a play
for that money.
It'll be easier
than going to work.
If I get you again,
Rocky,
The army, navy,
and marines
Won't be able
to help you.
You buy nice drinks,
mister,
But you talk so much.
Good-Bye, Mr. Delong.
I'll be seein' you,
Rocky.
I count the hours.
Hey, Mac,
2 more over here.
Let's move.
Well, pal, you're now
a free man again.
Any questions?
Just one.
Shoot.
Who are you?
curious about that.
You weren't
one of the guys
I was out with
that night.
I could have been.
I was a marine.
I was here
in town that night.
But you weren't
one of 'em.
No.
It's all
very simple, pal.
I-
I heard
about your case,
Checked up on it in
the newspaper files...
found out I fitted
your alibi perfectly.
Here you are.
Why'd you do it?
Occasionally, I always
drink too much.
You went to a lot
of trouble.
Wasn't too tough.
I wore all
my decorations.
I've got plenty.
Eventually
you'll get around
To telling me why.
Not eventually.
Right now.
You were up for life.
There was the 100,000
bucks kicking' around,
So I figured
you might be... grateful
If I got you out.
You not only picked
the wrong horse,
You didn't even get
the right track.
Life could be beautiful
with money.
Maybe you didn't
hear me.
I didn't pull
that stickup.
You'll be an awful big
disappointment to me
If you didn't.
So I'm
a big disappointment.
You didn't do it?
No. But I know who did.
Oh. Now I feel better.
You know, I think
I'm just like
That policeman.
I think I'll stick
around for a while
And see what
you're up to.
Then come on.
I want to introduce you
to a pretty girl.
Nice car.
I understand these things
cost money now.
I traded my left leg
for it.
Who's this girl
we're gonna meet?
Wife of a friend
of mine.
Sounds like
a dirty trick,
But I'm for it.
She's Danny's wife-
The guy I went
to jail with.
She really pretty?
She's out of bounds.
I said she was
Danny's wife.
Glad I never
met the guy.
Danny's one of
my favorite people.
Ok, Rocky.
I never was one
To argue with
a criminal type.
Ooh, and she has
to be the wife
Of a friend.
Run amok, junior.
That's the wrong girl.
Hello, fellas.
And a happy mother's day
to you, too.
I'm Darlene la Vonne.
I'll bet you are
at that, dear.
Tell me, where can
I find the manager?
Williams? Oh, he's
probably over there
In the office.
Thanks.
You fellas gonna
live here?
Maybe, if you're
a good girl
And go to church
on Sundays.
Aren't you
the fresh one.
Mm-Hmm.
sailed across the sea
she ran away from me
to meet another man
it was a dirty trick
she got me all-
Hey, Godfrey,
Where can I find
the manager?
You're talkin' to him.
I want to rent
a trailer for 2.
When and for how long?
Now, and I don't know.
$10.00 a week.
It'll break our backs,
All right. Follow me.
Hey, Rocky.
I hope you were kiddin'
about us staying here.
Only a couple
of days.
Darlene will
keep you company.
I'd rather take her
out of all this
Than move in with her.
This is it.
Oh, swell.
House beautiful.
What are we,
the poor relations?
What about some of
those places back there?
This is all
I got left.
It's a wonder
it didn't fall down
Before we got here.
Well, the place
looks lived in.
Yeah, but by what?
Take it or leave it.
10 bucks a week.
You're
a smooth salesman,
Mr. Williams.
You talked us
into it.
Be careful
how you spend that.
It was a present
from the taxpayers.
Say, ain't you
Rocky Mulloy?
Well, I guess
you could say that.
Look, Mr. Mulloy,
I don't want any trouble
in this camp.
Then don't start any.
You see, I got
a nice little setup
With lots of transits-
We like it.
It's quaint.
There's no hot water.
Suppose you wanted
to shave?
We'll ring for you.
I think I'll go
take care of Darlene.
Another man might walk by.
Just the week,
Mr. Mulloy, huh?
I don't know.
You got a Nancy Morgan
living here?
Yeah. She lives
in trailer 8.
She in now?
She works
across town someplace.
What time does she
usually get home?
In about an hour.
No kidding, Mr. Mulloy,
