He Ran All The Way Page #4

Al Molin is killed by a policeman and Nick shoots him in the spine. He hides out in a public swimming pool and meets the lonely spinster Peggy Dobbs in the water. Nick uses Peggy to lie low. He offers a ride in a taxi to her and she invites him to her apartment, where she introduces her family to him. When Nick discovers that he killed the cop, he decides to use Peggy's apartment as hideout to wait the police manhunt cool down. When Nick finds that Peggy loves him, he invites her to leave town with him and asks her to buy a used car. However, Nick cannot trust anybody and believes Peggy has betrayed him.

My husband did not

want me to come.

If Peg is hurt, it

will be my fault.

Madam, the address.

Listening.

I do not hear anything.

Exactly.

Why this silence?

And the car?

Night has fallen.

Why is she not here?

I do not know.

I told you everything.

Swear to me that there

is nobody outside.

I can not swear it, but

I do not think so.

Swear it!

How is the car?

Yellow.

Convertible, as you wanted.

- The year? The brand?

- I do not know.

A good car.

How much did you pay for it?

$ 1,500, I told you.

Do you have the receipt?

- Why would I lie to you?

- Where is the receipt?

I can go phone to claim...

How?

I could go to neighbors.

And when I've waited long enough,

I'll be forced to go out and get you.

I'll be back.

You just wanted

to get rid of me?

Yes or no?

- I wanted...

- Save your little family.

It's wrong.

You warned the cops

and lied for the car.

- I bought it.

- You lie.

They are waiting for me downstairs.

Say it, Peg.

Get up to take me!

Go ahead, go up!

And take it too!

There is nobody.

Nobody is waiting for you.

Are you really sure?

Let's go down, to see.

We'll see if there is anyone.

You better be right.

If there is nobody, you have

no reason to be afraid.

Last night, when you took out your

luxury chicken paraphernalia,

you thought you were holding me.

You and your family thought

you had me as a blue

and that I would let myself do.

You won my trust,

you took my money.

Perfect!

You promised to buy a car.

Where's my money?

I bought the car.

Why? Because you love me?

That's what you said.

You are on the right track.

It's better, you burn.

You do not love me.

You never loved me.

Why do not you say it?

You never loved me!

Say it, at least.

You never loved me

I loved you, Nick!

Believe me, I loved you.

Nobody likes anyone.

You, your parents, the

cops, my old, Al Molin...

hogwash!

I bought the car.

Show me. Where is she?

You will not have my daughter!

You hear?

You will not have it!

Nobody, huh?

You will not have my baby!

Get out of there!

You hear me?

Peg...

pick up the gun. You are closer.

You hear me?

You will not have my baby!

Pass it to me.

That's it.

Bravo.

Pick it up and give it to me.

Give me a chance!

You have no more

love in you than...

The car...

Peg...

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
