187

00:
13:45,941 -- 00:13:49,968

What do you think got me out of that

slimy little block where I was born?

188

00:
13:50,713 -- 00:13:52,510

Sure, your father helped, but

189

00:
13:53,215 -- 00:13:57,174

I'd have gotten out anyway, even if

I had to crawl on my hands and knees.

190

00:
13:58,287 -- 00:14:00,778

I was a fighter when I was a kid.

191

00:
14:01,290 -- 00:14:03,155

And I never stopped fighting.

192

00:
14:03,225 -- 00:14:06,023

I never will. I wouldn't know how!

193

00:
14:10,366 -- 00:14:12,493

You want to know why I'm resigning?

194

00:
14:13,936 -- 00:14:16,905

Because I know I'd fight just as hard

for the next conviction

195

00:
14:16,972 -- 00:14:19,304

as I fought for Ed Clary's.

196

00:
14:20,309 -- 00:14:22,038

And on no better evidence.

197

00:
14:24,680 -- 00:14:25,874

There has to be a DA.

198

00:
14:25,948 -- 00:14:28,576

Somebody has to live

with that responsibility.

199

00:
14:28,651 -- 00:14:30,676

Well, then, let somebody.

200

00:
14:31,820 -- 00:14:33,219

As for me,

201

00:
14:33,923 -- 00:14:37,984

I'd rather see 100 guilty men go free

than convict another innocent man.

202

00:
14:39,862 -- 00:14:42,160

I thought you said you were a fighter.

203

00:
14:42,531 -- 00:14:43,896

I am.

204

00:
14:44,733 -- 00:14:46,257

But I'm not a killer.

205

00:
14:48,404 -- 00:14:52,738

You're looking at Victor Scott,

private citizen from here on out.

206

00:
14:53,542 -- 00:14:57,000

I'm gonna set myself up

a nice little civil practice.

207

00:
14:57,313 -- 00:15:01,272

Get rich shuffling big corporation

contracts from one drawer to another.

208

00:
15:02,785 -- 00:15:04,912

I'm gonna have money in my hands,

209

00:
15:05,554 -- 00:15:07,112

not people's lives.

210

00:
15:07,556 -- 00:15:10,719

Oh, Vic, you don't know anything

about civil law.

211

00:
15:10,793 -- 00:15:12,784

I know all about all kinds of law.

212

00:
15:12,861 -- 00:15:15,728

Please, Vic, you need some sleep.

213

00:
15:18,033 -- 00:15:21,230

What I need is another bottle of Scotch.

214

00:
15:27,543 -- 00:15:30,239

Well, good evening, Judge.

How's the roast beef tonight?

215

00:
15:30,312 -- 00:15:32,177

Hello, Scott.

216

00:
15:43,225 -- 00:15:46,490

I'm sorry, Mr. Scott,

but this table is reserved tonight.

217

00:
15:46,895 -- 00:15:49,693

I bought and paid for this table long ago.

218

00:
15:49,798 -- 00:15:52,858

WAITER:
You know how it is, Mr. Scott.

Some out-of-town people.

219

00:
15:53,936 -- 00:15:55,597

Thank you, sir.

220

00:
16:00,376 -- 00:16:02,276

Scotch, double.

221

00:
16:04,580 -- 00:16:07,048

Hello, John. Hiya, Mamie.

222

00:
16:07,883 -- 00:16:09,407

How are you, Victor?

223

00:
16:09,551 -- 00:16:11,075

Here you are, sir.

224

00:
16:12,054 -- 00:16:13,954

Told you to make it a double.

225

00:
16:14,423 -- 00:16:16,254

I did, Mr. Scott.

226

00:
16:21,030 -- 00:16:22,964

Haven't seen you around, John.

227

00:
16:24,500 -- 00:16:28,027

You know me. I don't see any more

of lawyers than I can help it.

228

00:
16:28,370 -- 00:16:31,203

Afraid you won't be able to duck

that patent suit.

229

00:
16:31,674 -- 00:16:34,074

I understand the inventor refused

the settlement.

230

00:
16:34,143 -- 00:16:35,770

Oh, I'm not afraid of a suit.

231

00:
16:35,844 -- 00:16:39,109

- Well, you needn't be if I handle it.

- You? You're not serious, Vic.

232

00:
16:39,181 -- 00:16:42,708

Of course I'm serious.

I'm setting up a civil practice.

233

00:
16:42,785 -- 00:16:45,049

I heard that, but I couldn't believe it.

234

00:
16:45,120 -- 00:16:48,146

- You're a criminal lawyer.

- You want to win that suit, don't you?

235

00:
16:48,223 -- 00:16:50,783

That's why I'm going to retain

Johnson & Reinhardt.

236

00:
16:50,859 -- 00:16:52,827

I just can't take a chance, Vic.

237

00:
16:52,895 -- 00:16:55,261

- John, we must hurry.

- Yes.

238

00:
16:56,732 -- 00:16:59,257

- MAMIE:
Good night, Victor.

- Good night.

239

00:
17:10,546 -- 00:17:12,309

How's it going, Mr. Scott?

240

00:
17:13,315 -- 00:17:15,783

Between ourselves or for publication?

241

00:
17:16,385 -- 00:17:19,445

I don't think publication need worry you

at the moment.

242

00:
17:20,089 -- 00:17:22,182

Civil practice is no breeze, huh?

243

00:
17:22,458 -- 00:17:25,484

These stuffed shirts act

like I never read a law book,

244

00:
17:25,661 -- 00:17:28,129

all I ever did was spellbind juries.

245

00:
17:28,497 -- 00:17:32,433

Maybe it's just that a little bit of the magic

has rubbed off the name of Scott.

246

00:
17:32,501 -- 00:17:35,299

You mean maybe a little dirt

has been rubbed on.

247

00:
17:36,105 -- 00:17:38,005

They'll come running to me yet.

248

00:
17:38,474 -- 00:17:40,271

I'll keep the presses oiled and waiting.

249

00:
17:40,342 -- 00:17:43,869

And not for my obituary, either.

You tell that to your editor.

250

00:
17:43,979 -- 00:17:45,571

Good night, Mr. Scott.

251

00:
17:49,118 -- 00:17:51,678

Now see if you know what double means.

252

00:
17:56,792 -- 00:17:59,090

- What time did he come in?

- Just before sun-up.

253

00:
17:59,161 -- 00:18:00,992

That's regular with him now.

254

00:
18:08,670 -- 00:18:11,662

- Can you bring some hot coffee, please?

- Sure, ma'am.

255

00:
18:20,849 -- 00:18:21,838

Vic?

256

00:
18:22,317 -- 00:18:24,877

(SLURRING) We don't want you,

Victor Scott.

257

00:
18:25,988 -- 00:18:28,957

We're gonna retain Sloan & Pierce.

258

00:
18:30,159 -- 00:18:32,957

- We're gonna retain...

- Please, Vic.

259

00:
18:36,632 -- 00:18:38,600

Goodbye, Mr. Scott.

260

00:
18:39,201 -- 00:18:41,328

You stink, Mr. Scott.

261

00:
18:44,339 -- 00:18:46,967

- Hello.

- Hello, Vic.

262

00:
18:48,177 -- 00:18:51,112

You shouldn't have come. Big mistake.

263

00:
18:51,180 -- 00:18:53,171

There's some hot coffee coming.

264

00:
18:53,248 -- 00:18:56,479

And then you're gonna have to

get out of these wet clothes.

265

00:
18:56,552 -- 00:18:58,679

Women are so practical.

266

00:
18:59,154 -- 00:19:01,384

I always said women are practical.

267

00:
19:02,324 -- 00:19:06,317

Now, Ellen, you be practical.

Get out of here.

268

00:
19:08,230 -- 00:19:09,925

Do you really want me to?

269

00:
19:10,032 -- 00:19:12,592

When your old man died,

270

00:
19:12,668 -- 00:19:14,795

I said I'd be a father to you.

271

00:
19:14,870 -- 00:19:17,600

"Don't worry," I said, "I'll take care of her."

272

00:
19:18,507 -- 00:19:20,873

Now here you are, taking care of me.

273

00:
19:21,210 -- 00:19:23,838

Maybe you shouldn't have tried

to be a father.

274

00:
19:24,112 -- 00:19:25,943

Maybe that wasn't the way.

275

00:
19:27,449 -- 00:19:29,349

It was the only way.

276

00:
19:30,586 -- 00:19:34,352

Now, you go ahead and marry Ray Borden.

Father's orders.

277

00:
19:34,423 -- 00:19:36,550

Yes, yes, there's plenty of time for that.

278

00:
19:36,625 -- 00:19:40,493

No, maybe not plenty of time.

Now you go do it. Father's orders.
