what you thought was right.

I tried to hate you but I couldn't.

Because I knew all along that I was wrong.

And... well, I guess there's another reason.

Yes?

It's the same one that kept you writing to me.

And keep on coming up here to see me.

Quiet!

Here you are, Miss Graham.

Thanks.

Nice day, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Oh, say, this Lefty fellow ain't here no more.

Know his forwarding address?

Well, just now it's the County Jail.

They took him away last night.

Oh, I see.

Never can tell anymore, can you?

No, you can't. Seemed such a nice fellow, too.

Hello. County Jail. Chief Jailer's Office. Cassidy speaking.

What? No, the chief is busy. Any message?

Clark? All right, I'll tell him.

Hello.

Get the warden. Penitentiary on the phone. At once.

Did you ring, Chief?

Yeah.

Send this to the warden at the penitentiary.

By special messenger. Make it snappy.

Okay, Chief.

Well, Frank...

Here's the report on the key, Warden.

Looks pretty bad.

B947.

Key to main cell block...

woman's section, letter traced to prisoner 6142,

cell 76, second tier right.

Sound the alarm, Joe!

Get down to the prison as fast as you can.

I'll be there in a minute.

Let's go, Dutch.

Good luck, kid.

Thanks.

Hey, can that music!

You're driving me batty!

They're crushing through the second tier.

That would be the last cell on the right.

The last cell on the right? That's Nan Taylor's cell.

Come on, stick 'em up, you guys!

Come on!

When did the warden hear about this?

He just got word about five minutes ago.

What is it, Miss Johnson?

Noonan, get all girls downstairs as fast as you can.

Hurry!

Open up the cells. Get the girls to the big room.

What's the beef now?

You keep still and obey orders.

Come on, get out of here.

Quit your stalling and do what you're told!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on, boys!

Don!

Well, Taylor. You certainly made a mess

out of things, didn't you?

I suppose you know what this

is going to mean to you, don't you?

It means the parole board will turn you down.

You'll do your full term without privileges.

No visitors, no letters, no anything except hard work.

Now, Nan, you might as well get this

into your mind right now.

Another stunt like this and there will be

adding to your sentence.

How did you get that?

It doesn't matter, I got it. That's enough.

You're responsible for the death of two men,

your pals.

I'd hate to have that on my conscience.

Don't worry about my conscience, sweetheart.

I'm not responsible for their deaths,

but I know who is.

And I'll get even with that dirty, yellow stool pigeon

if it takes the rest of my life!

Hello, Nan.

Well, if it isn't old Dead Eye Dick himself.

Gee, you look like a million-dollar bonus.

Put on a little weight, haven't you, Tracy?

Yeah, I generally fatten up this time of the year.

When did you get out?

Yesterday.

No hard feeling?

No, say, you have your racket, I have mine.

Once in a while they don't mix so well, huh?

Sure.

Say, you don't mean to tell me you gone

and got religion at this late date.

That would be a break for you coppers.

Well, so long, Nan.

I'll tell the boys at Headquarters that you're

in circulation again. They'll be glad to know it.

You would.

Goodbye.

So long.

Come, my friends.

Join with these others who have come forward

feeling the need of spiritual guidance...

and our good friend their leader, David Slade,

will be only too happy to advise and help you....

as he has helped thousands of others.

Happy to have you with us.

Nan!

Mr. Farnum.

Yes, sir?

Take this lady to my study.

Yes, sir.

I'll be with you in just a minute.

This way, please.

Right this way, please.

Just make yourself at home, miss.

I knew you were getting out yesterday

and I phoned that I'd meet you if you wanted me to.

But you had gone.

You see I didn't waste any time getting here.

And I appreciate it.

I don't have to tell you

what you mean to me, Nan.

From the first moment we met I hoped that some day

we might find happiness together.

It's been mighty difficult for me to see things

from your viewpoint.

But I think at last I understand.

I've been wrong all my life.

And we can start over again, can't we?

I wanna show you something first, David.

Did you ever see them?

I recognize you, but I don't know these men.

No, I guess not.

You never saw them. They're dead now.

Dead.

I don't know what you mean.

Why didn't you mail that letter?

Why didn't you mail that letter?

What letter?

The letter you found in your pocket

the last time you came to see me.

I did mail it.

You double-crossing liar! You turned it in to the cops.

I swear I didn't.

You're a liar, you have been from the start.

You came to me with your pious promises of help,

you were going to make me forget the past.

Yeah, with a two to five year rap.

But you were gonna see that I got out

because you loved me so much.

And I was sap enough to fall for it.

Yeah, you loved me enough to have another year

tagged to my time.

I don't understand what...

And there's two kids they got.

Their brains are in alcohol in little jars for curious visitors

to gape at, property of the State!

And you murdered them.

You've got to listen to me.

I've listened to you plenty!

I'm forgetting about you, but you're gonna hear about me

every day of your lying, hypocritical life.

You're gonna read about me in the papers

for every crime in the world

from every city in the world!

And let this cheer you up!

It'll be you who's done it.

You can't do this, Nan!

Try and stop me!

You can't do it, you understand?

You can't do it!

Because I love you!

If you put your hands on me again I'll...

I'll kill you!

Please, Nan!

David...

David.

That sounded like a shot.

I didn't mean to do that.

That's all right, Nan.

It's nothing.

You let me handle this.

Come in.

What's the matter?

We thought we heard a shot.

It sounded like it was in here.

A shot?

Oh, yes, I did hear something.

I suppose it was an automobile backfiring out there.

I'm sorry we disturbed you.

We didn't know anyone was with you.

There she is! She tried to kill him!

Susie!

I saw her.

She drew a gun and tried to kill you.

Susie, you're imagining things.

Oh, no, I'm not.

You're trying to protect her

because you're in love with her.

Wait a minute. Quiet, sister.

What's this all about, Dave?

I don't know.

Yes you do. You're trying to save her.

You're making pretty serious charges, young lady.

You'll have to prove them, or there's gonna be trouble.

I tell you, I'm not lying. I'm not blind!

I saw her with a gun.

How did you see me, Susie?

Right through that keyhole.

I saw every move you made.

You must have pretty good eyes, young lady,

to see through that sign.

Why you...

Perhaps Susie needs you...

I tell you I'm not lying!

Well, now that the gallery's gone,

what's this all about, Dave?

There's nothing to tell, Tracy.

No?

When I ran into Nan a while ago

I thought something funny might happen
