Oh, you'll
come back someday.
I don't think so.
The minute that dick
walked into that place where i was working,
i knew there was
no chance for me to continue on here.
Wouldn't it be better
if you went ba to prison
and served out
your time?
No. They'd give me
seven more years of it.
I've got
a pretty good grip on myself, anne,
and i'd like to make
a new start,
and my only hope
is in some other country where they can't get me.
Well, i suppose
you're right,
but i'll-
we'll miss you.
Will you really?
You know i will.
Anne, i have no right
to tell you this,
but, you know, i get
sort of a choky feeling
every time i think
i'm never going to see you again.
Oh, don't be angry at me
for saying that, will you?
I'm not angry.
You see, it's the only way
i have of telling you
how much your friendship
has done for me.
Thanks.
What are you
going to do?
Work. Does that
please you?
Mm-hmm.
You know,
as soon as i get to the islands,
i'm going to get
a little plantation.
I've heard of a chap
who made a fortune out there.
Oh, that sounds
marvelous.
Doesn't it?
You know, if it
weren't for you,
i wouldn't mind
going,
and yet, if it
weren't for you, i wouldn't be going.
Gosh, how are you
going to figure that one out?
I don't know.
Hello, morgan.
Let's see what you've got on you.
I guess
you didn't know
who this fellow
really was, miss marlowe.
That's too bad.
Sergeant, please.
Wait a minute.
I'm sorry this had
to happen here, anne.
But i...
now, let's get going.
Oh, mother!
I love him!
Oh, if they'd
only give him another chance!
You're going
to find things
tougher
than ever here.
The state has
closed the mill.
You know
what idleness does to a man,
so you better
watch your step.
Yes, sir.
All right, morgan. Let's go.
Yes, sir.
We're going to have
a lot more trouble with that bird.
You'll see.
I think you're wrong,
wallace.
I believe he wants
to go straight.
Straight?
Two weeks
with the old gang,
and he'll be
right back where he was.
Maybe.
I hope not.
Hello, morg.
Get back over
that deadline,
or i'll knock
your block off.
Who, me?
Yes, you.
Pop's getting
tough.
How's all
the dames outside?
See my initials
carved on many
bedposts, morg?
How have you been,
butch, huh?
Oh, o.k. You know,
the food's getting worse here, too.
Hello, morg.
How are you?
Well, what's the gang
been up to, butch?
Planning.
Six of us is going
right out
through that gate.
You aren't
kidding me, are you?
No. I'm giving it
to you straight.
Me and the gopher
framed it.
The gopher?
Why, he's been
the prison gardener for seven years.
Sure.
He's had an idea
in the back of his bean, though.
There he goes now.
For three months,
every day,
he's been going
to that gate.
The screw's
used to it,
don't pay no
attention to him.
Yeah?
Every once
in a while,
why, he has
an extra big bunch of flowers,
and the screw opens
the gate, savvy?
I see.
And you six guys go through, is that it?
Sure.
Simple, ain't it?
Sure. What happens
when you get through the inner gate?
We crash
that outer gate,
and there's a car
waiting outside.
When does it
come off?
Thanksgiving day
at noon.
Most of the screws
go home to turkey dinner.
We'll give them
a bellyful.
You know it means
the rope, butch, if they catch you.
Who's in on it?
Well, me
and olsen and joe and the hawk.
The hawk?
That means blood.
No. He promised me
he wouldn't bump nobody off.
Why, he croaked
his own mother.
Sure, he did.
He cut her throat.
He was sorry for it.
He's all right.
Anybody else
in on it?
Well, there's that
big swede and kent.
Kent?
Say, listen,
you're all wrong about that kent guy.
It was a russian
that planted that knife on you,
not kent.
We caught him doing
the same thing to another guy.
Yeah?
Sure.
I was sure
it was kent.
No. After you
made your getaway,
they put the gopher
in the same cell with me and kent,
see?
Kent ain't
in on the plans,
but he's got to go
out with us.
We ain't
tellin' nobody
till we get ready
to make the break- outside of you.
Not for me, butch.
I'm going straight.
You wouldn't
kid an old friend, would you?
Hello, morgan.
You got me all wrong, butch,
but i just don't play
a sucker's game, that's all.
How are you?
Hey, listen. Don't
let that gang know
that you're going
straight.
They used to have
a lot of respect for you.
Hello, morg.
Welcome b-b-back home.
Hello, morg.
Hey, listen,
don't gang up here.
Come on.
Take a powder. Take a powder.
See you later, butch.
Hey, you.
Come here, you.
Let's see that book.
Where is
that bride's confession
i told you to get me?
Well-well, you see,
it's wor-worn out.
Well, you get me
sappho.
Say, you don't mind
if i take a powder, do you, mr. Bu-utch?
No. Go on.
Scram. Scram.
Hey, kent.
I want to talk
to you.
Morgan, i want to
explain to you about that knife-
yeah, butch told me
all about it.
What you've done
doesn't interest me.
It's what you're
going to do.
Are you in
on this break?
Yeah. They took me
in on it.
I know.
It's dynamite.
They haven't told me
You keep out of it,
do you hear?
Not that i care
about you,
but i met that family
of yours, kent.
They think
the world of you.
Now, you've caused them
enough trouble,
and if anything more
happens to you, they'd never get over it,
so you keep out
of this break.
It's murder,
and you'll hang for it.
Hey, you.
Morgan trying
to turn you against the gang?
Yeah, that's what
he was doing, all right.
You wouldn't think it
of him, would you?
Aw, he's a rat.
I wonder
what butch will say.
Think i'd better go
and tell him.
All right.
You tell him.
This guy could catch
fish with his hands.
He'd reach
under the rocks
and get ahold
of a fish...
say, butch,
you take morgan in?
Morg? Sure.
You sure
he's going with us?
Sure, he is.
He can't wait.
Don't lie
to me.
Who, me?
Why, i never told a lie in my life.
You know
he's not going with us.
I just heard him
telling kent to keep out of it.
Yeah?
Yeah. Said it looked like
a trap to him. Get me?
You suppose morgan
will go yellow?
Who, morg?
Well,
something's changed him.
Yeah, something's
changed him.
You don't suppose
he'd rat on us?
What's that
you said?
You don't think
he'd squeal?
Say, listen,
he wouldn't squeal on nobody.
He's changed,
that's all right,
but i'll croak
the first guy
that says he's
a double-crosser.
So kent's got
his ear to the ground,
and he'll soon have
plenty to tell us.
He thinks the gang
have guns,
but he doesn't know
where they're hidden.
I promised him we'd
cut his time in half
if he brought us
this information.
Stool pigeons.
I wish we could
Yeah, well,
we can't.
Who's in on it?
All of butch's gang.
solitary?
That would only
keep them quiet for a few weeks.
It isn't
