Cry of the Hunted (1953) Movie Script
I told him your name was Tunner.
Spelled with two 'n's.
I hope he wrote it down.
Things are confused enough.
Look, they picked up Jory
on the side of a mountain.
He was tried and convicted.
He was our guest for 3 years.
What can I make him say?
The names of the men who
were on that picnic with him.
Throw the ball back please.
Do you think this interlocking
grip is making me pull my shots?
A golf ball not only bit you.
It crawled right into your brain.
Come on, Keeley. What's the rest of it?
Well, he doesn't think keeping Jory in
solitary is going to make him sane.
He knows that Jory is a very bad boy.
He thinks you handle him wrong.
He says you're babying him.
I've put him in the hole for
ten days. That's babying him?
The D.A. thinks so.
- What do you think?
Throw the ball back please.
Look, Lieutenant.
You know, with me you're
in a class all by yourself.
I told the D.A. you are a lot of man.
Plenty of brains. Tough besides.
I told him you're not even afraid of me.
See how I front for you?
Alright. I'll go down and
pry Jory's mouth open.
Just stop needling me when
I've got a rotten job to do.
You call it needling.
I call it incentive.
I kid people so they
stay up to full speed.
It's my way of getting results.
When I placed you in charge of
maximum security at this prison ..
I went way out on a limb.
You must be right at home then.
Hello, Jory.
Got you a new apartment.
Tunner?
Yep.
Spelt with two 'n's.
What do you want?
Just you and what you know.
You're here to scare me into talking.
No. I'm here to ask you to come upstairs
and tell the warden what you know.
Give him a few names that are
important to the district attorney.
I know nothing.
Now look, Jory. I feel
pretty good this morning.
My wife fixed me a big breakfast.
It can turn into a good day for us both.
Let's do it the easy way.
Not the hard way.
I remember .. having a wife.
But no breakfast.
If you come upstairs, I'll fix you some
breakfast while you talk to the warden.
Sorry, I can't do
anything about the wife.
I got nothing to say.
I told all I know.
All I know. You hear me? All!
Now Jory, you're letting
yourself get mad.
That's bad for you. Take it easy.
It's bad to get mad.
- Just leave me alone.
Get out of here.
I'm not through talking to you, Jory.
- Talk. Talk.
I need food and loosening up.
Yeah. Loosening up.
Alright, Jory.
You told me the way you wanted it but
we're both going to be sorry afterwards.
It seems a shame it has
to be this way, Jory.
Here. Have a smoke, Jory.
You ready to go upstairs, Jory?
I guess so, Lieutenant.
What will it be, ham and eggs?
Eggs?
They would do me good.
You'd better go to the
infirmary, Lieutenant.
You are hurt.
Ow.
Goodwin?
- Yeah.
Did Jory ..
Did Jory talk?
Yeah, he talks.
Same old talk.
He told the warden he still
didn't remember their names.
He said he'd try to describe them
and identify him from pictures.
He said all he did was drive the car.
He got a hundred bucks for it.
Ouch.
Did it hurt?
Did Jory get something to eat upstairs?
- Yeah. Like you said.
Get another man.
Take him to State C tomorrow.
Have the warden notify the
D.A.'s office you are coming.
Okay. I'll take Davis.
- And don't rough him up, Goodwin.
Keep your hands in your pockets.
Sometimes you try just too hard.
It's just that I'm
ambitious, Lieutenant.
I only want your job.
Can't you do me better than
that, doc? My wife sees it.
Just keep the lights low.
- She always keeps the lights low.
Afraid to show her age.
Thanks, Doc.
Hi.
Hi, darling. A big day today, huh?
Nothing special like you are.
The Martini is in the icebox.
I'll be done in a minute.
You are done.
You should drop a few pounds.
You're getting too old to pack so much.
Age doesn't seem to
mellow you, Lieutenant.
There are certain impulses
that are hard to account for.
How did it go with Jory today?
Where is my Martini, my
newspaper, my dinner?
Come on. Let's get on the ball.
I may not be a girl, but I haven't taken
a lease on a rocking chair just yet.
Do you think I ought to shower?
- No. Let's make it a world's record.
How did it go with Jory today? Bad, huh?
Who's been whispering in your ear now?
The Sergeant's wife next door.
- Big mouth.
You made him talk, Lieutenant.
But it cost you something.
Don't let your curiosity go any
further, baby. It was nothing.
What's wrong with Jory?
The same old story.
Failure and poverty
have gone to his head.
Yes. But what's he like?
He's got a pair of eyes.
As cold as December.
He just has to look in a water glass.
You can throw the ice away.
Yes. I know. I know all that, but ..
What I don't know is
why he is so stubborn.
Why you had to work him over.
Look at you.
A smashed tomato if I ever saw one.
When do you and Jory
quit the kid's stuff?
Ask him.
He's like an animal, is he?
Animal? Man? How can you
possibly tell the difference?
I'm going to tell Keeley
to let up on you.
You've had enough.
You must stop dreaming about
fishing in Mexico and just do it.
Yeah.
Yeah. We could shake it
up pretty good in Mexico.
I'm talking to the warden.
Better make the subject golf.
It's the only one he understands.
How about dinner?
- Si, Signor.
Incidentally, what you cooking tonight?
- Meatloaf.
Again. Isn't this becoming
a little embarrassing?
Only to the meatloaf.
Tomorrow it will be all gone.
When I get Jory paroled I'll get
him up here for the meatloaf.
That will be my revenge.
Lieutenant. You haven't made
a crack about my hair yet.
It's called a 'poodle cut'.
It cost you five bucks.
Like?
I feel very beautiful.
It's going to get awful messed up.
- Doesn't it figure?
You don't seem to get any mail, Jory.
What's the matter with your wife?
Can't she write?
What are you, Jory? Portuguese?
Huh?
Cajun?
How is Louisiana, Jory?
But then how would you know?
You haven't been there in three years.
You know, Jory. You may not even have a
wife anymore. Do you ever think of that?
Hey, Davis.
Our friend lost his mouthpiece.
I haven't heard a word out of him.
Have you, Davis?
- Not a word.
He seems to only want to talk to Tunner.
Are they going together?
Cut it out, Goodwin.
What have you got against Tunner?
Nothing.
Except he thinks he is big.
Except I could do his job better.
I'd have had our friend here
talking a long time ago.
Ease up on everybody, Goodwin.
I got a way of making our friend
find his voice real quick.
You will go along, Davis.
I don't go along.
Then it's going to be a long, dull ride.
Where did that man go?
It's a big country.
A guy could get lost in it.
It's incredible nevertheless that
he hasn't been picked up.
I just got a report that a man
fitting Jory's description ..
Took over a lunch wagon right here.
He didn't bother with the cash.
He just stole a dozen doughnuts.
That's Jory alright. He's eating
himself right back into prison.
He wouldn't be sucker enough
to go directly to Louisiana.
Though it seems so.
- Why not? He's like an animal.
If he's hurt, he heads for home. He was
born there. Maybe he wants to die there.
You say that desires and memories have
a stronger hold on men than prison bars.
I say, if a guy has so much for him
outside he doesn't want to stay inside.
That's a big part of it, I guess.
- I need not tell you, Lieutenant.
How unhappy the district attorney
is over this Jory incident.
No. You need not.
He wants Jory back in the worst way.
- I can imagine.
You're bringing Jory back, Lieutenant.
You are taking a plane to Louisiana.
Why do I have to go?
I like it here. Aside from that,
I would miss you dreadfully.
Yes. I know.
I refer to article 12, section 5.
Jory is a ward of this prison.
He got away from two of your men.
As the officer in charge of maximum
security at Bradville Penitentiary.
He becomes your responsibility.
He is a menace to the
state and the taxpayer.
They can only rest
when he's safely home.
Meaning here.
A big desk gives a small
man a great sense of power.
Look, Lieutenant.
The loot was never recovered.
By a curious coincidence, it belongs
to some very important people.
Do I have to go?
You have always led an upholstered
and sheltered life, Lieutenant.
To use a friendly 4-lettered word: okay.
Now, throw the ball back please.
Get a caddy.
Where is Jory headed, Lieutenant?
- Home. I told you seven times.
Where are you going?
- Home.
Honey?
Yes, dear? I'm in here.
Hi.
Hi. You're home early. Lose your job?
Why are you packing? Going someplace?
- It seems you are.
So, you get information
even before I do.
I got sources.
Old big-mouth next door?
This is supposed to be maximum security.
I've put all your woollen socks in.
To keep your feet dry.
Don't come home with the sniffles.
- Come here.
What time do you leave, Lieutenant?
Will eight o'clock be soon enough?
You can be in the ice-man's lap by nine.
He's got a cold lap.
While I'm still here respect
me as the head of the house.
Where's the problem? I go away with
only four pairs of woolly socks.
You go away with my heart, Lieutenant.
You'd kill a man if you
ever hit him with it.
You know, one day I'll marry you.
You're not a bad dame at all.
Say some more for me.
Look, Honey. I'll only be gone a week.
I'll bring Jory in by the ears.
The way you handle all bad boys.
He's got me mad because
he's complicating things.
And watch out when I get mad.
The warden has been
building you up again I see.
Yeah. I'm a great guy. It must be true.
Your astrology chart says that soon
Neptune will be close to Mars and Pluto.
It means you can walk through water.
- What a sappy book.
I ain't walking. I am flying.
Hey.
What is for dinner?
I'd rather not answer that
question at the moment.
Meatloaf?
Be careful, Lieutenant.
Just be careful.
A great country, Chatsburgh.
I always wanted to see the south.
I didn't like it.
It's a place nature pours a lot
into that never seems to fail.
I don't think it could stand much more.
How come they sent you down here?
Didn't warden Keeley tell you?
Yes. I know about Jory.
But that still don't explain
why they sent you down.
If Jory comes into
Louisiana I'll get him.
He is in Louisiana, Sheriff.
You got him?
We've been looking for him.
But when I do he is
going to take on weight.
It won't be from food.
Now you see why they sent me down.
They want him back breathing
in and breathing out.
I know Jory.
His family. All about him.
There's only one way to handle him.
Just one way.
Better quit thinking about it, Sheriff.
It's getting to be an obsession with you
already. Just quit thinking about him.
You want to start telling me what to do?
All I'm telling you is that it's
beautiful country down here.
So green.
Chatsburgh.
I'd like to use your phone.
Go right ahead. There it is.
I was told to give you
everything you want.
I hope the man who said
that knows what he's doing.
I'll be needing a car too.
I'd like to see some of the state.
Especially the bird places.
Hello. Would you give me operator 721.
This is Lieutenant Tunner.
Yes. We have a direct line.
I like birds.
My only regret is they have to be caged.
They should be confined only by the sky.
How do you feel about birds, Sheriff?
Hello. Hello?
Hello Lieutenant.
Hey confidentially, don't you miss me?
So you don't.
Well, that's really sad.
How do you like the sheriff?
I can't say right now.
Yes. He is sitting right here.
Yes. Sure it's a crazy world.
You helped to make it that way.
Here's the rundown on Jory, Lieutenant.
He ditched the car on the highway.
Stole a dozen eggs from a joint about
eighty miles north of where you are.
Hopped a slow freight
and is headed your way.
Needless to say, the D.A. is
very upset about this thing.
How are you making out, Warden?
That's fine. Fine.
Yeah. You've nothing to worry
about except losing your mind.
Incidentally, who's caddying
for you these days?
Throw the ball back please.
Say, who is Janet?
Spelled with one 't' but her last name
is spelled with two 'n's. How is she?
Fine. Fine.
Lieutenant, did I ever tell you of the
time I played Magic Hills in California?
It was the 5th hole.
200 yards separated me
from that little green island.
Well, I took a 2-iron.
The other boys were using woods.
I slammed into it.
And knowing my great swing ..
What is he saying?
Nothing.
What can you expect from a
man who sleeps in a sand trap?
What did he say about Jory?
- He's headed this way.
How?
- Freight.
What time is it due?
Any time.
- The other way being watched?
Yeah. I got a roadblock there.
We're watching here.
So we got it covered.
Look, Sheriff.
You won't need your artillery.
Just catch him in your hands
like he was a footballer, huh.
Only, if he starts to run ..
You can't expect him to walk right
into your arms and kiss you.
Knowing Jory, I expect the worst.
Look, Sheriff.
He is a guy with the same
amount to live for as you and I.
How long you been at this work?
- Long enough to know I don't like it.
That is. I don't think I like it.
I not only like what I'm doing.
I know what I'm doing.
Here she comes.
Easy does it, Sheriff.
Don't try to win the battle
of Bull Run again.
It will be about ten minutes.
Jory.
Jory!
Well.
If we didn't get him,
the things in that river will.
I'm going to ask you a question
you probably won't answer, Sheriff.
Why did you shoot at him?
- He ran, didn't he?
A man shouldn't die just for running.
We got medals for that in school.
Well, he is dead.
- I want you to drag the river.
I want to see his body.
You want an alligator?
- Drag the river.
At least Jory's shoes. I got to
take something back with me.
Alright.
We'll comb the water.
We'll get the dogs out.
But at the moment I can't think
of a greater waste of time.
Not unless it is standing
here talking about it.
One thing I'd like to know, Lieutenant.
How did you happen
to get in this business?
I bribed a guy. The same as you.
How are we going back, Jory?
The hard way or the easy way?
How are you here?
They said you were dead.
I wouldn't believe them.
I'm glad you're alive, Jory. But I know
how you must feel at this moment.
I know it's bad.
Don't let it get any worse.
You have a gun?
What do you think?
I got lucky, Jory. Whereas you didn't.
I went into town and enquired around and
got information you might like to have.
You still got a wife.
You're in for a bad
time for a while, Jory.
I shouldn't feel sorry for you but I do.
I don't like to see a man cry.
Now we go back.
I would like to see her.
I would like to see her.
Just for a while.
You are going to.
Lieutenant. I want to see her.
- I said you're going to.
That's why we're here
having this little chat.
If we had a deck of cards,
I'd try you at pinochle.
You knew I was coming.
I saw a newspaper yesterday.
I'll be outside.
You got no right to have it this way.
I have a right.
You know what you left
when you went away.
I went away to get money.
- You've given me misery.
And hardship and nights
I couldn't sleep through.
And worry. The kind a
man don't understand.
You certainly have
a lot of fancy talking.
What are you saying?
You're no good.
You are rotten. Rotten.
Why do you still love me?
Who says I do?
Who says I have been faithful to
you while you've been gone?
Who says I don't have another man?
The eyes do.
Those pretty eyes.
What do you want?
I want you to go away again.
I don't want you to
rot in an open prison.
I want you right here.
I have to go back.
You're scared of that man outside?
I can see it.
Maybe you stopped being
a man when I married you.
Maybe that's when I became one.
Don't let him take you back.
Go someplace and I'll meet you.
And you take care of me the
way you said you would.
We have people down the river.
They will hide you.
Lay off this.
Lay off this, I say.
I made the Lieutenant a promise.
I'm going to keep it.
You made me promise too.
- No.
He's treated me decent all along.
He's the only one who
ever treated me decent.
I'm not going to walk out on him.
Just on me, huh?
And your son?
You didn't even know you had a son.
Albert.
Mine?
- Yes.
When?
- You've been away a long time.
If you're lying, I kill you.
Isn't he a fine father, Albert?
You owe him something if not me.
Alright.
There's going to be a life for
the three of us someplace.
I'll take the river to Josh's hut.
The swamps will hide me.
When you come.
Bring him with you.
I am going to tell him.
Are you ready?
I'm not going back, Lieutenant.
I'm staying here.
- Just like that?
Just like that.
Alright, Jory.
You have a kid and I understand that
but you don't seem to understand me.
I came here to get you and I am ..
I take care of him.
Hold his arm steady, nurse.
What kind of fool would
drink swamp water.
He is kinda cute though.
Will he make it alright, doctor?
I've cured over a thousand
cases of swamp fever.
I've also lost over a thousand.
Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Come and get me, Tunner.
Come and get me.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Jory.
Jory.
Jory.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Jory.
Where are we?
In an old hotel in romantic Louisiana.
What are you doing here?
Just dropped in to say hello.
Alright. You said it.
Now get me some water.
Swamp water like the water you
drank out of Jory's swimming pool?
So I made a mistake.
You're a woman who'd follow a man to the
ends of the earth to nag him about it.
[ Door knocks ]
Open the door before
the man breaks it down.
Service with a smirk.
Are you here to enquire about my health?
You might say hello.
Why should I? I knew it was you.
Nobody else walks with
that flat shuffle of yours.
What's with him?
He doesn't want to win
friends and influence people.
Just tell me what happened, Goodwin.
I went out with the sheriff
and we came up empty.
Jory has gone deep into the swamp.
It's a place he doesn't want to go.
It's out of his territory.
Besides, I don't want to go either.
You wouldn't mind making the trip
with me, would you Goodwin?
Let's take a tour of old
romantic Louisiana.
Get a boat for tomorrow morning.
- Uhuh.
No boat, Lieutenant.
The warden says he wants you home.
You tell me you're taking over?
- Uhuh.
Lieutenant, this could
mean a vacation, you know.
It could mean Mexico, Martinique.
The book says places beginning
with 'M' are lucky for you.
Know this. I run things here until the
warden tells me personally that I'm not.
We are going out tomorrow.
'We' means the two of us.
Look, Lieutenant. I don't like this.
I'm a little scared.
Just like you.
Like me?
Things can happen in that bayou.
Don't worry. You're so horrible
you'd be safe in a cannibal's camp.
Okay.
I'll get the boat.
I'll take your orders, Lieutenant.
But one of these days I'll
be giving them, huh?
What did I say when I was off my rocker?
Did I spill everything?
Even how I kissed a freckle-faced
girl when I was nine years old.
Maybe truth is better than
lies at our age, Lieutenant.
For once, when you were out of your head
you were totally honest with yourself.
You've been trying for a long time to
be what Warden Keeley calls you:
A lot of man.
Yeah, he's always saying that.
I remember.
And all the time you're
afraid like everybody else.
The thing you're afraid of the
most is that somebody finds it out.
You are afraid of being afraid.
You found that out?
Goodwin heard it too, eh?
He was here when you were raving.
What did he say?
You know Goodwin. He just smiled.
Alright, alright. So he heard it.
I laid down and died for a while.
Now I'm getting up to fight.
But I'm not doing it for that fat-headed
warden or that idiotic D.A.
Or some dumb dame who's after my money.
No. I am doing this for myself.
I'm through listening to how tough
I am. I've decided to find out.
Pack a box lunch for Goodwin and myself.
One thing Goodwin didn't tell you.
We have reservations on
the plane for tomorrow.
You have a reservation
on the plane tomorrow.
This is the area Jory is holed up in.
There isn't a chance of getting him out.
It's just suicide for any
of us to go in after him.
There's no sense trying to
talk him out of it, Sheriff.
He's batty on the subject of Jory.
People don't go where
Jory is headed right now.
I won't go into that wilderness.
And no guide will.
The way it twists and turns you can
meet yourself coming and going.
Jory will come out sooner or later
and when he does we grab him.
What's your hurry?
Yeah, Lieutenant. None of us
want a badge for bravery.
Let's go.
If you're going to try to do a
man's job, use a man's weapon.
You'd better take one, Goodwin.
You'll feel naked without it.
Keep it up, Lieutenant.
Just one more mistake and I'm
going to have that job of yours.
I said take a gun and let's go.
You know you are committing suicide?
Maybe it's a good thing.
Now I know why your eyes are
always at half-mast, Sheriff.
Your brain is dead.
Mr Tunner?
- Uhuh.
You wife left this here for you
this morning. It's your lunch.
Thank you.
- You're welcome, sir.
This will be a ham sandwich, Goodwin.
Do you like ham?
Well .. what else did
your wife think of?
Tuna fish.
Hard-boiled eggs.
Ah.
Now we're getting to the good stuff.
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Do you like peanut butter between bread?
Well.
Planning on setting
up lighthouse keeping?
Cookies.
My pipe.
- Good.
This I'm not taking out. Meatloaf.
What's this?
How would you like one thousand
units of vitamin D, Goodwin?
When I take over your job, Lieutenant,
I'll have a little talk with my wife.
I know what you think.
A guy may get shot just for
being seen with this thing.
Wouldn't that be nice.
If only she could have put the
whole thing in a paper bag.
Hey, lady.
Have you ever seen this man?
Je ne connais pas.
Are you sure you haven't seen him?
- Je ne connais pas.
Hi.
Did you ever see this man?
Hey, come here.
I said, have you ever seen this man?
Je n'ai jamais vu. Je ne connais pas.
Je ne veux pas voir.
Take a good look.
You guys all know each other round here.
No.
I've made an interesting
discovery, Goodwin.
We are camping in a graveyard.
- What?
Sit down, sit down.
We ask them to move it. That's all.
Raoul.
Raoul!
I'm the one who's supposed to
be sick and scared. Remember?
What do you expect me to do?
To sleep while that's going on?
We're practically brothers, Goodwin.
Our father's name is fear.
Yeah. Get funny at this point.
Raoul.
Come on.
Raoul!
Raoul.
Raoul.
Come back.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Come back.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Pardon me, madam. But who is Raoul?
Raoul is a bird now.
Once.
Was man.
He go swamp.
He die.
You die too.
If go swamp.
How would you like to turn
into a bird someday, Goodwin?
I'm going to be a cuckoo
without a clock if this keeps up.
Madam, here is what we're after.
A criminal. A bad man.
Did he pass this way?
- No see faces.
His own future.
You see these?
Bad man.
Lack heart.
Stole food.
Where did he go to eat?
He go where Raoul go.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Don't you know it's impolite to stare
at a beautiful woman for over an hour?
Hey, Goodwin. You falling
in love with her? Come on.
Raoul.
Raoul.
How are we going to shut her up?
- We'll give her the meatloaf.
Raoul, come back.
Raoul.
Do you like Martinis, Goodwin?
Well ..
- Have one.
What, no olive?
No. I got to get rid of
that thoughtless dame.
Hey. Can we see you a minute?
Hi.
Do you know this man?
- Je ne connais pas.
Don't speak English, huh?
Je ne sais pas.
It's funny none of you people down here
speak English when someone wants you to.
Now, you know this man.
Where does he live around here?
Je ne comprends pas.
I said, where does he live?
He lives in this bayou somewhere.
Je ne comprends pas.
No, no.
Now where does he live?
- Pas plus.
Which Bayou?
Hey, Goodwin.
- Which? The right or the left?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
It dawned on me what I'm giving
you for a Christmas present.
Yeah?
- A punching bag.
This way, my boy.
Well, Goodwin. It looks like
we're on the right track.
And it came to pass.
That on one of those days as they taught
the people of the temple and preached.
Pray me some.
I am going.
I heard it.
The shallow boat. Two men coming.
Is the Lieutenant one of them?
Yes.
You don't have to go no place.
I took care of him once, no?
This time I do it good.
No.
Lay off this.
Ne never shot at me
like I was some animal.
I fix the fish.
Look at you. A fine man you are.
You never stand up and fight.
Alright.
We will do it your way.
I'll hunt him out. I'll get him.
We are going to split up, Goodwin.
What?
I said we're going to split up.
Right here.
We'll cover more ground that way.
What do we do, cut the boat in half?
- Just put me ashore. I'll hike.
Hike?
Yep.
Now I know you're crazy. If I had a
thermometer I'd take your temperature.
Put me ashore and just do as I day.
If you see any signs of Jory your
way, signal me with your gun.
My way is back. I'm through.
You might not think much of your life
but mine is the only one I've got.
You're always a little crazy, Tunner.
But now you're too crazy.
I've a job to do.
You can't finish a job if
you kill yourself dead first.
Pull in right over there, huh?
Go ahead. Kill yourself.
You're going to walk through there?
You worry you don't end in the swamp.
- Me?
I'm on my way back to an air-conditioned
room and a cold shower.
Go ahead, Lieutenant.
Prove yourself a hero.
I've been looking for you, Jory.
You're going to be sorry
you found me, Lieutenant.
There will be no more running from you.
I am sick of being chased.
Yes. Sick of it.
I know now you'll never give up.
Aargh.
Jory, why did you help me?
I always seem to do things
without thinking. Always.
Like the thing that
got you into trouble?
You've a lot on your mind, haven't you.
Why don't you get some of it off?
[ French language ]
What's that?
Yeah. Why not?
Nobody is here to hear me.
Well, they say.
'Can you drive a car, Jory'?
I say 'yes'.
Okay. A hundred bucks.
So I drive the car for a hundred.
And they rob the outfit
of the half million.
Where does the story go from there?
Now I'm in jail awaiting trial.
A guy comes to me and says 'Jory'.
'You got caught. Your friends got away'.
'Would five thousand bucks keep
you from entering their names'?
My answer was 'yes'.
When were they going to pay you, Jory?
- When I got out.
First a sap and then a sucker.
They'll never pay you.
They will pay.
- Who is 'they'?
Lorgan is the boss.
Got a business up there.
Joe Lorgan.
You're crazier than I thought,
falling for such a proposition.
Do you know what five thousand
means to me down here?
The color of money is the same all over.
It means to live.
Yeah. To live.
You thought a lot about living
a little while ago, didn't you?
Yeah.
Maybe I did.
Yep. Maybe I wanted
to see my wife again.
It's too bad about it all, Jory.
It's too bad I got to take you back.
Back?
Ha-ha. Back.
Do you think I would tell you about
Lorgan if we were going back?
No. We're here to stay.
Mr 'Maximum Security' officer.
Mr Lieutenant.
Back? Ha-ha-ha.
Don't choke yourself laughing, Jory.
You had me in prison.
Now I got you here.
And I'm going to enjoy it.
I am going to walk with you.
Sleep with you. Eat with you.
I'm going to let the swamp swallow you.
You want to put handcuffs
on me now, Lieutenant?
Like a lamb. I come to you.
How did you ever fall for
that line: 'pay you later'?
When I go back Lorgan will pay.
And if he doesn't.
You'll make another mistake?
It will be his mistake.
Alright, Jory.
But here is a piece of
information for you.
You can always arrange
things if you're still alive.
But we have a chair up there
that nobody wants to sit in.
Jory, don't let them send you back to
your wife as a piece of burnt toast.
Hey, you look terrible.
Here, have a smoke.
Too bad that isn't a peace pipe.
There's melody in the world, Jory.
Only you'll never hear it.
That's too bad.
Lorgan.
Lorgan.
You don't want to pay Jory, eh Lorgan?
You pay, Jory.
Pay me, Lorgan.
You pay, Lorgan.
You pay, Jory.
You.
Lorgan.
Lorgan, wake up.
Wake up, Lorgan.
So you're not paying Jory, eh Lorgan?
Pay me, Lorgan. Right now.
Yeah, sure. Sure, Jory. I will pay you.
Now.
Now. Right now.
I'll pay you, Jory.
I'm no counterfeit guy.
Come up with it.
Now.
- Jory.
Sure. Here's the money.
All five thousand of it.
No. It is dirty money.
I don't want it.
Jory.
I don't want your money, Lorgan.
I'll make you eat it.
Eat it. Eat it.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey.
Here.
Goodwin.
Hey.
Hey!
We're not going to find them.
Let's turn back.
What's the matter, Sheriff?
Don't you work on Sunday?
How do you expect to find
something you don't look for?
I told him he'd get lost.
I didn't say we'd look for him.
Yeah. We warned him.
And I'm finding the Lieutenant.
How do you expect me to take his
job away from him if I don't find him?
You've been around him so long
you begin to talk like him.
My mind is made up. We're going back.
Sure your mind is made up, Sheriff.
I just made it up for you.
Like I made your mind up to come
out with me in the first place.
Now you're going to stick it out.
What's that?
What do you make of it?
I bet you I will always find Tunner.
Come on. Let's go.
One year.
Just one more year.
Just another month, Jory.
Chatsburgh, Louisiana.
When do I leave?
Chatsburgh. Chatsburgh?
Five twenty.
Two hours to wait.
Two hours?
I waited two years for this dream.
Well, moving day, Jory. Good luck.
See you sometime, Lieutenant.
If you feel there's some bad behind you,
there's also a lot of good ahead of you.
Yeah. Big fish for breakfast.
The way she cooks them.
Have one on me.
..f-s..
Spelled with two 'n's.
I hope he wrote it down.
Things are confused enough.
Look, they picked up Jory
on the side of a mountain.
He was tried and convicted.
He was our guest for 3 years.
What can I make him say?
The names of the men who
were on that picnic with him.
Throw the ball back please.
Do you think this interlocking
grip is making me pull my shots?
A golf ball not only bit you.
It crawled right into your brain.
Come on, Keeley. What's the rest of it?
Well, he doesn't think keeping Jory in
solitary is going to make him sane.
He knows that Jory is a very bad boy.
He thinks you handle him wrong.
He says you're babying him.
I've put him in the hole for
ten days. That's babying him?
The D.A. thinks so.
- What do you think?
Throw the ball back please.
Look, Lieutenant.
You know, with me you're
in a class all by yourself.
I told the D.A. you are a lot of man.
Plenty of brains. Tough besides.
I told him you're not even afraid of me.
See how I front for you?
Alright. I'll go down and
pry Jory's mouth open.
Just stop needling me when
I've got a rotten job to do.
You call it needling.
I call it incentive.
I kid people so they
stay up to full speed.
It's my way of getting results.
When I placed you in charge of
maximum security at this prison ..
I went way out on a limb.
You must be right at home then.
Hello, Jory.
Got you a new apartment.
Tunner?
Yep.
Spelt with two 'n's.
What do you want?
Just you and what you know.
You're here to scare me into talking.
No. I'm here to ask you to come upstairs
and tell the warden what you know.
Give him a few names that are
important to the district attorney.
I know nothing.
Now look, Jory. I feel
pretty good this morning.
My wife fixed me a big breakfast.
It can turn into a good day for us both.
Let's do it the easy way.
Not the hard way.
I remember .. having a wife.
But no breakfast.
If you come upstairs, I'll fix you some
breakfast while you talk to the warden.
Sorry, I can't do
anything about the wife.
I got nothing to say.
I told all I know.
All I know. You hear me? All!
Now Jory, you're letting
yourself get mad.
That's bad for you. Take it easy.
It's bad to get mad.
- Just leave me alone.
Get out of here.
I'm not through talking to you, Jory.
- Talk. Talk.
I need food and loosening up.
Yeah. Loosening up.
Alright, Jory.
You told me the way you wanted it but
we're both going to be sorry afterwards.
It seems a shame it has
to be this way, Jory.
Here. Have a smoke, Jory.
You ready to go upstairs, Jory?
I guess so, Lieutenant.
What will it be, ham and eggs?
Eggs?
They would do me good.
You'd better go to the
infirmary, Lieutenant.
You are hurt.
Ow.
Goodwin?
- Yeah.
Did Jory ..
Did Jory talk?
Yeah, he talks.
Same old talk.
He told the warden he still
didn't remember their names.
He said he'd try to describe them
and identify him from pictures.
He said all he did was drive the car.
He got a hundred bucks for it.
Ouch.
Did it hurt?
Did Jory get something to eat upstairs?
- Yeah. Like you said.
Get another man.
Take him to State C tomorrow.
Have the warden notify the
D.A.'s office you are coming.
Okay. I'll take Davis.
- And don't rough him up, Goodwin.
Keep your hands in your pockets.
Sometimes you try just too hard.
It's just that I'm
ambitious, Lieutenant.
I only want your job.
Can't you do me better than
that, doc? My wife sees it.
Just keep the lights low.
- She always keeps the lights low.
Afraid to show her age.
Thanks, Doc.
Hi.
Hi, darling. A big day today, huh?
Nothing special like you are.
The Martini is in the icebox.
I'll be done in a minute.
You are done.
You should drop a few pounds.
You're getting too old to pack so much.
Age doesn't seem to
mellow you, Lieutenant.
There are certain impulses
that are hard to account for.
How did it go with Jory today?
Where is my Martini, my
newspaper, my dinner?
Come on. Let's get on the ball.
I may not be a girl, but I haven't taken
a lease on a rocking chair just yet.
Do you think I ought to shower?
- No. Let's make it a world's record.
How did it go with Jory today? Bad, huh?
Who's been whispering in your ear now?
The Sergeant's wife next door.
- Big mouth.
You made him talk, Lieutenant.
But it cost you something.
Don't let your curiosity go any
further, baby. It was nothing.
What's wrong with Jory?
The same old story.
Failure and poverty
have gone to his head.
Yes. But what's he like?
He's got a pair of eyes.
As cold as December.
He just has to look in a water glass.
You can throw the ice away.
Yes. I know. I know all that, but ..
What I don't know is
why he is so stubborn.
Why you had to work him over.
Look at you.
A smashed tomato if I ever saw one.
When do you and Jory
quit the kid's stuff?
Ask him.
He's like an animal, is he?
Animal? Man? How can you
possibly tell the difference?
I'm going to tell Keeley
to let up on you.
You've had enough.
You must stop dreaming about
fishing in Mexico and just do it.
Yeah.
Yeah. We could shake it
up pretty good in Mexico.
I'm talking to the warden.
Better make the subject golf.
It's the only one he understands.
How about dinner?
- Si, Signor.
Incidentally, what you cooking tonight?
- Meatloaf.
Again. Isn't this becoming
a little embarrassing?
Only to the meatloaf.
Tomorrow it will be all gone.
When I get Jory paroled I'll get
him up here for the meatloaf.
That will be my revenge.
Lieutenant. You haven't made
a crack about my hair yet.
It's called a 'poodle cut'.
It cost you five bucks.
Like?
I feel very beautiful.
It's going to get awful messed up.
- Doesn't it figure?
You don't seem to get any mail, Jory.
What's the matter with your wife?
Can't she write?
What are you, Jory? Portuguese?
Huh?
Cajun?
How is Louisiana, Jory?
But then how would you know?
You haven't been there in three years.
You know, Jory. You may not even have a
wife anymore. Do you ever think of that?
Hey, Davis.
Our friend lost his mouthpiece.
I haven't heard a word out of him.
Have you, Davis?
- Not a word.
He seems to only want to talk to Tunner.
Are they going together?
Cut it out, Goodwin.
What have you got against Tunner?
Nothing.
Except he thinks he is big.
Except I could do his job better.
I'd have had our friend here
talking a long time ago.
Ease up on everybody, Goodwin.
I got a way of making our friend
find his voice real quick.
You will go along, Davis.
I don't go along.
Then it's going to be a long, dull ride.
Where did that man go?
It's a big country.
A guy could get lost in it.
It's incredible nevertheless that
he hasn't been picked up.
I just got a report that a man
fitting Jory's description ..
Took over a lunch wagon right here.
He didn't bother with the cash.
He just stole a dozen doughnuts.
That's Jory alright. He's eating
himself right back into prison.
He wouldn't be sucker enough
to go directly to Louisiana.
Though it seems so.
- Why not? He's like an animal.
If he's hurt, he heads for home. He was
born there. Maybe he wants to die there.
You say that desires and memories have
a stronger hold on men than prison bars.
I say, if a guy has so much for him
outside he doesn't want to stay inside.
That's a big part of it, I guess.
- I need not tell you, Lieutenant.
How unhappy the district attorney
is over this Jory incident.
No. You need not.
He wants Jory back in the worst way.
- I can imagine.
You're bringing Jory back, Lieutenant.
You are taking a plane to Louisiana.
Why do I have to go?
I like it here. Aside from that,
I would miss you dreadfully.
Yes. I know.
I refer to article 12, section 5.
Jory is a ward of this prison.
He got away from two of your men.
As the officer in charge of maximum
security at Bradville Penitentiary.
He becomes your responsibility.
He is a menace to the
state and the taxpayer.
They can only rest
when he's safely home.
Meaning here.
A big desk gives a small
man a great sense of power.
Look, Lieutenant.
The loot was never recovered.
By a curious coincidence, it belongs
to some very important people.
Do I have to go?
You have always led an upholstered
and sheltered life, Lieutenant.
To use a friendly 4-lettered word: okay.
Now, throw the ball back please.
Get a caddy.
Where is Jory headed, Lieutenant?
- Home. I told you seven times.
Where are you going?
- Home.
Honey?
Yes, dear? I'm in here.
Hi.
Hi. You're home early. Lose your job?
Why are you packing? Going someplace?
- It seems you are.
So, you get information
even before I do.
I got sources.
Old big-mouth next door?
This is supposed to be maximum security.
I've put all your woollen socks in.
To keep your feet dry.
Don't come home with the sniffles.
- Come here.
What time do you leave, Lieutenant?
Will eight o'clock be soon enough?
You can be in the ice-man's lap by nine.
He's got a cold lap.
While I'm still here respect
me as the head of the house.
Where's the problem? I go away with
only four pairs of woolly socks.
You go away with my heart, Lieutenant.
You'd kill a man if you
ever hit him with it.
You know, one day I'll marry you.
You're not a bad dame at all.
Say some more for me.
Look, Honey. I'll only be gone a week.
I'll bring Jory in by the ears.
The way you handle all bad boys.
He's got me mad because
he's complicating things.
And watch out when I get mad.
The warden has been
building you up again I see.
Yeah. I'm a great guy. It must be true.
Your astrology chart says that soon
Neptune will be close to Mars and Pluto.
It means you can walk through water.
- What a sappy book.
I ain't walking. I am flying.
Hey.
What is for dinner?
I'd rather not answer that
question at the moment.
Meatloaf?
Be careful, Lieutenant.
Just be careful.
A great country, Chatsburgh.
I always wanted to see the south.
I didn't like it.
It's a place nature pours a lot
into that never seems to fail.
I don't think it could stand much more.
How come they sent you down here?
Didn't warden Keeley tell you?
Yes. I know about Jory.
But that still don't explain
why they sent you down.
If Jory comes into
Louisiana I'll get him.
He is in Louisiana, Sheriff.
You got him?
We've been looking for him.
But when I do he is
going to take on weight.
It won't be from food.
Now you see why they sent me down.
They want him back breathing
in and breathing out.
I know Jory.
His family. All about him.
There's only one way to handle him.
Just one way.
Better quit thinking about it, Sheriff.
It's getting to be an obsession with you
already. Just quit thinking about him.
You want to start telling me what to do?
All I'm telling you is that it's
beautiful country down here.
So green.
Chatsburgh.
I'd like to use your phone.
Go right ahead. There it is.
I was told to give you
everything you want.
I hope the man who said
that knows what he's doing.
I'll be needing a car too.
I'd like to see some of the state.
Especially the bird places.
Hello. Would you give me operator 721.
This is Lieutenant Tunner.
Yes. We have a direct line.
I like birds.
My only regret is they have to be caged.
They should be confined only by the sky.
How do you feel about birds, Sheriff?
Hello. Hello?
Hello Lieutenant.
Hey confidentially, don't you miss me?
So you don't.
Well, that's really sad.
How do you like the sheriff?
I can't say right now.
Yes. He is sitting right here.
Yes. Sure it's a crazy world.
You helped to make it that way.
Here's the rundown on Jory, Lieutenant.
He ditched the car on the highway.
Stole a dozen eggs from a joint about
eighty miles north of where you are.
Hopped a slow freight
and is headed your way.
Needless to say, the D.A. is
very upset about this thing.
How are you making out, Warden?
That's fine. Fine.
Yeah. You've nothing to worry
about except losing your mind.
Incidentally, who's caddying
for you these days?
Throw the ball back please.
Say, who is Janet?
Spelled with one 't' but her last name
is spelled with two 'n's. How is she?
Fine. Fine.
Lieutenant, did I ever tell you of the
time I played Magic Hills in California?
It was the 5th hole.
200 yards separated me
from that little green island.
Well, I took a 2-iron.
The other boys were using woods.
I slammed into it.
And knowing my great swing ..
What is he saying?
Nothing.
What can you expect from a
man who sleeps in a sand trap?
What did he say about Jory?
- He's headed this way.
How?
- Freight.
What time is it due?
Any time.
- The other way being watched?
Yeah. I got a roadblock there.
We're watching here.
So we got it covered.
Look, Sheriff.
You won't need your artillery.
Just catch him in your hands
like he was a footballer, huh.
Only, if he starts to run ..
You can't expect him to walk right
into your arms and kiss you.
Knowing Jory, I expect the worst.
Look, Sheriff.
He is a guy with the same
amount to live for as you and I.
How long you been at this work?
- Long enough to know I don't like it.
That is. I don't think I like it.
I not only like what I'm doing.
I know what I'm doing.
Here she comes.
Easy does it, Sheriff.
Don't try to win the battle
of Bull Run again.
It will be about ten minutes.
Jory.
Jory!
Well.
If we didn't get him,
the things in that river will.
I'm going to ask you a question
you probably won't answer, Sheriff.
Why did you shoot at him?
- He ran, didn't he?
A man shouldn't die just for running.
We got medals for that in school.
Well, he is dead.
- I want you to drag the river.
I want to see his body.
You want an alligator?
- Drag the river.
At least Jory's shoes. I got to
take something back with me.
Alright.
We'll comb the water.
We'll get the dogs out.
But at the moment I can't think
of a greater waste of time.
Not unless it is standing
here talking about it.
One thing I'd like to know, Lieutenant.
How did you happen
to get in this business?
I bribed a guy. The same as you.
How are we going back, Jory?
The hard way or the easy way?
How are you here?
They said you were dead.
I wouldn't believe them.
I'm glad you're alive, Jory. But I know
how you must feel at this moment.
I know it's bad.
Don't let it get any worse.
You have a gun?
What do you think?
I got lucky, Jory. Whereas you didn't.
I went into town and enquired around and
got information you might like to have.
You still got a wife.
You're in for a bad
time for a while, Jory.
I shouldn't feel sorry for you but I do.
I don't like to see a man cry.
Now we go back.
I would like to see her.
I would like to see her.
Just for a while.
You are going to.
Lieutenant. I want to see her.
- I said you're going to.
That's why we're here
having this little chat.
If we had a deck of cards,
I'd try you at pinochle.
You knew I was coming.
I saw a newspaper yesterday.
I'll be outside.
You got no right to have it this way.
I have a right.
You know what you left
when you went away.
I went away to get money.
- You've given me misery.
And hardship and nights
I couldn't sleep through.
And worry. The kind a
man don't understand.
You certainly have
a lot of fancy talking.
What are you saying?
You're no good.
You are rotten. Rotten.
Why do you still love me?
Who says I do?
Who says I have been faithful to
you while you've been gone?
Who says I don't have another man?
The eyes do.
Those pretty eyes.
What do you want?
I want you to go away again.
I don't want you to
rot in an open prison.
I want you right here.
I have to go back.
You're scared of that man outside?
I can see it.
Maybe you stopped being
a man when I married you.
Maybe that's when I became one.
Don't let him take you back.
Go someplace and I'll meet you.
And you take care of me the
way you said you would.
We have people down the river.
They will hide you.
Lay off this.
Lay off this, I say.
I made the Lieutenant a promise.
I'm going to keep it.
You made me promise too.
- No.
He's treated me decent all along.
He's the only one who
ever treated me decent.
I'm not going to walk out on him.
Just on me, huh?
And your son?
You didn't even know you had a son.
Albert.
Mine?
- Yes.
When?
- You've been away a long time.
If you're lying, I kill you.
Isn't he a fine father, Albert?
You owe him something if not me.
Alright.
There's going to be a life for
the three of us someplace.
I'll take the river to Josh's hut.
The swamps will hide me.
When you come.
Bring him with you.
I am going to tell him.
Are you ready?
I'm not going back, Lieutenant.
I'm staying here.
- Just like that?
Just like that.
Alright, Jory.
You have a kid and I understand that
but you don't seem to understand me.
I came here to get you and I am ..
I take care of him.
Hold his arm steady, nurse.
What kind of fool would
drink swamp water.
He is kinda cute though.
Will he make it alright, doctor?
I've cured over a thousand
cases of swamp fever.
I've also lost over a thousand.
Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Come and get me, Tunner.
Come and get me.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am, Tunner.
Here I am.
Jory.
Jory.
Jory.
Here I am.
Here I am.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Here, Tunner.
Jory.
Where are we?
In an old hotel in romantic Louisiana.
What are you doing here?
Just dropped in to say hello.
Alright. You said it.
Now get me some water.
Swamp water like the water you
drank out of Jory's swimming pool?
So I made a mistake.
You're a woman who'd follow a man to the
ends of the earth to nag him about it.
[ Door knocks ]
Open the door before
the man breaks it down.
Service with a smirk.
Are you here to enquire about my health?
You might say hello.
Why should I? I knew it was you.
Nobody else walks with
that flat shuffle of yours.
What's with him?
He doesn't want to win
friends and influence people.
Just tell me what happened, Goodwin.
I went out with the sheriff
and we came up empty.
Jory has gone deep into the swamp.
It's a place he doesn't want to go.
It's out of his territory.
Besides, I don't want to go either.
You wouldn't mind making the trip
with me, would you Goodwin?
Let's take a tour of old
romantic Louisiana.
Get a boat for tomorrow morning.
- Uhuh.
No boat, Lieutenant.
The warden says he wants you home.
You tell me you're taking over?
- Uhuh.
Lieutenant, this could
mean a vacation, you know.
It could mean Mexico, Martinique.
The book says places beginning
with 'M' are lucky for you.
Know this. I run things here until the
warden tells me personally that I'm not.
We are going out tomorrow.
'We' means the two of us.
Look, Lieutenant. I don't like this.
I'm a little scared.
Just like you.
Like me?
Things can happen in that bayou.
Don't worry. You're so horrible
you'd be safe in a cannibal's camp.
Okay.
I'll get the boat.
I'll take your orders, Lieutenant.
But one of these days I'll
be giving them, huh?
What did I say when I was off my rocker?
Did I spill everything?
Even how I kissed a freckle-faced
girl when I was nine years old.
Maybe truth is better than
lies at our age, Lieutenant.
For once, when you were out of your head
you were totally honest with yourself.
You've been trying for a long time to
be what Warden Keeley calls you:
A lot of man.
Yeah, he's always saying that.
I remember.
And all the time you're
afraid like everybody else.
The thing you're afraid of the
most is that somebody finds it out.
You are afraid of being afraid.
You found that out?
Goodwin heard it too, eh?
He was here when you were raving.
What did he say?
You know Goodwin. He just smiled.
Alright, alright. So he heard it.
I laid down and died for a while.
Now I'm getting up to fight.
But I'm not doing it for that fat-headed
warden or that idiotic D.A.
Or some dumb dame who's after my money.
No. I am doing this for myself.
I'm through listening to how tough
I am. I've decided to find out.
Pack a box lunch for Goodwin and myself.
One thing Goodwin didn't tell you.
We have reservations on
the plane for tomorrow.
You have a reservation
on the plane tomorrow.
This is the area Jory is holed up in.
There isn't a chance of getting him out.
It's just suicide for any
of us to go in after him.
There's no sense trying to
talk him out of it, Sheriff.
He's batty on the subject of Jory.
People don't go where
Jory is headed right now.
I won't go into that wilderness.
And no guide will.
The way it twists and turns you can
meet yourself coming and going.
Jory will come out sooner or later
and when he does we grab him.
What's your hurry?
Yeah, Lieutenant. None of us
want a badge for bravery.
Let's go.
If you're going to try to do a
man's job, use a man's weapon.
You'd better take one, Goodwin.
You'll feel naked without it.
Keep it up, Lieutenant.
Just one more mistake and I'm
going to have that job of yours.
I said take a gun and let's go.
You know you are committing suicide?
Maybe it's a good thing.
Now I know why your eyes are
always at half-mast, Sheriff.
Your brain is dead.
Mr Tunner?
- Uhuh.
You wife left this here for you
this morning. It's your lunch.
Thank you.
- You're welcome, sir.
This will be a ham sandwich, Goodwin.
Do you like ham?
Well .. what else did
your wife think of?
Tuna fish.
Hard-boiled eggs.
Ah.
Now we're getting to the good stuff.
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Do you like peanut butter between bread?
Well.
Planning on setting
up lighthouse keeping?
Cookies.
My pipe.
- Good.
This I'm not taking out. Meatloaf.
What's this?
How would you like one thousand
units of vitamin D, Goodwin?
When I take over your job, Lieutenant,
I'll have a little talk with my wife.
I know what you think.
A guy may get shot just for
being seen with this thing.
Wouldn't that be nice.
If only she could have put the
whole thing in a paper bag.
Hey, lady.
Have you ever seen this man?
Je ne connais pas.
Are you sure you haven't seen him?
- Je ne connais pas.
Hi.
Did you ever see this man?
Hey, come here.
I said, have you ever seen this man?
Je n'ai jamais vu. Je ne connais pas.
Je ne veux pas voir.
Take a good look.
You guys all know each other round here.
No.
I've made an interesting
discovery, Goodwin.
We are camping in a graveyard.
- What?
Sit down, sit down.
We ask them to move it. That's all.
Raoul.
Raoul!
I'm the one who's supposed to
be sick and scared. Remember?
What do you expect me to do?
To sleep while that's going on?
We're practically brothers, Goodwin.
Our father's name is fear.
Yeah. Get funny at this point.
Raoul.
Come on.
Raoul!
Raoul.
Raoul.
Come back.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Come back.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Pardon me, madam. But who is Raoul?
Raoul is a bird now.
Once.
Was man.
He go swamp.
He die.
You die too.
If go swamp.
How would you like to turn
into a bird someday, Goodwin?
I'm going to be a cuckoo
without a clock if this keeps up.
Madam, here is what we're after.
A criminal. A bad man.
Did he pass this way?
- No see faces.
His own future.
You see these?
Bad man.
Lack heart.
Stole food.
Where did he go to eat?
He go where Raoul go.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Raoul.
Don't you know it's impolite to stare
at a beautiful woman for over an hour?
Hey, Goodwin. You falling
in love with her? Come on.
Raoul.
Raoul.
How are we going to shut her up?
- We'll give her the meatloaf.
Raoul, come back.
Raoul.
Do you like Martinis, Goodwin?
Well ..
- Have one.
What, no olive?
No. I got to get rid of
that thoughtless dame.
Hey. Can we see you a minute?
Hi.
Do you know this man?
- Je ne connais pas.
Don't speak English, huh?
Je ne sais pas.
It's funny none of you people down here
speak English when someone wants you to.
Now, you know this man.
Where does he live around here?
Je ne comprends pas.
I said, where does he live?
He lives in this bayou somewhere.
Je ne comprends pas.
No, no.
Now where does he live?
- Pas plus.
Which Bayou?
Hey, Goodwin.
- Which? The right or the left?
Yes.
Thank you very much.
It dawned on me what I'm giving
you for a Christmas present.
Yeah?
- A punching bag.
This way, my boy.
Well, Goodwin. It looks like
we're on the right track.
And it came to pass.
That on one of those days as they taught
the people of the temple and preached.
Pray me some.
I am going.
I heard it.
The shallow boat. Two men coming.
Is the Lieutenant one of them?
Yes.
You don't have to go no place.
I took care of him once, no?
This time I do it good.
No.
Lay off this.
Ne never shot at me
like I was some animal.
I fix the fish.
Look at you. A fine man you are.
You never stand up and fight.
Alright.
We will do it your way.
I'll hunt him out. I'll get him.
We are going to split up, Goodwin.
What?
I said we're going to split up.
Right here.
We'll cover more ground that way.
What do we do, cut the boat in half?
- Just put me ashore. I'll hike.
Hike?
Yep.
Now I know you're crazy. If I had a
thermometer I'd take your temperature.
Put me ashore and just do as I day.
If you see any signs of Jory your
way, signal me with your gun.
My way is back. I'm through.
You might not think much of your life
but mine is the only one I've got.
You're always a little crazy, Tunner.
But now you're too crazy.
I've a job to do.
You can't finish a job if
you kill yourself dead first.
Pull in right over there, huh?
Go ahead. Kill yourself.
You're going to walk through there?
You worry you don't end in the swamp.
- Me?
I'm on my way back to an air-conditioned
room and a cold shower.
Go ahead, Lieutenant.
Prove yourself a hero.
I've been looking for you, Jory.
You're going to be sorry
you found me, Lieutenant.
There will be no more running from you.
I am sick of being chased.
Yes. Sick of it.
I know now you'll never give up.
Aargh.
Jory, why did you help me?
I always seem to do things
without thinking. Always.
Like the thing that
got you into trouble?
You've a lot on your mind, haven't you.
Why don't you get some of it off?
[ French language ]
What's that?
Yeah. Why not?
Nobody is here to hear me.
Well, they say.
'Can you drive a car, Jory'?
I say 'yes'.
Okay. A hundred bucks.
So I drive the car for a hundred.
And they rob the outfit
of the half million.
Where does the story go from there?
Now I'm in jail awaiting trial.
A guy comes to me and says 'Jory'.
'You got caught. Your friends got away'.
'Would five thousand bucks keep
you from entering their names'?
My answer was 'yes'.
When were they going to pay you, Jory?
- When I got out.
First a sap and then a sucker.
They'll never pay you.
They will pay.
- Who is 'they'?
Lorgan is the boss.
Got a business up there.
Joe Lorgan.
You're crazier than I thought,
falling for such a proposition.
Do you know what five thousand
means to me down here?
The color of money is the same all over.
It means to live.
Yeah. To live.
You thought a lot about living
a little while ago, didn't you?
Yeah.
Maybe I did.
Yep. Maybe I wanted
to see my wife again.
It's too bad about it all, Jory.
It's too bad I got to take you back.
Back?
Ha-ha. Back.
Do you think I would tell you about
Lorgan if we were going back?
No. We're here to stay.
Mr 'Maximum Security' officer.
Mr Lieutenant.
Back? Ha-ha-ha.
Don't choke yourself laughing, Jory.
You had me in prison.
Now I got you here.
And I'm going to enjoy it.
I am going to walk with you.
Sleep with you. Eat with you.
I'm going to let the swamp swallow you.
You want to put handcuffs
on me now, Lieutenant?
Like a lamb. I come to you.
How did you ever fall for
that line: 'pay you later'?
When I go back Lorgan will pay.
And if he doesn't.
You'll make another mistake?
It will be his mistake.
Alright, Jory.
But here is a piece of
information for you.
You can always arrange
things if you're still alive.
But we have a chair up there
that nobody wants to sit in.
Jory, don't let them send you back to
your wife as a piece of burnt toast.
Hey, you look terrible.
Here, have a smoke.
Too bad that isn't a peace pipe.
There's melody in the world, Jory.
Only you'll never hear it.
That's too bad.
Lorgan.
Lorgan.
You don't want to pay Jory, eh Lorgan?
You pay, Jory.
Pay me, Lorgan.
You pay, Lorgan.
You pay, Jory.
You.
Lorgan.
Lorgan, wake up.
Wake up, Lorgan.
So you're not paying Jory, eh Lorgan?
Pay me, Lorgan. Right now.
Yeah, sure. Sure, Jory. I will pay you.
Now.
Now. Right now.
I'll pay you, Jory.
I'm no counterfeit guy.
Come up with it.
Now.
- Jory.
Sure. Here's the money.
All five thousand of it.
No. It is dirty money.
I don't want it.
Jory.
I don't want your money, Lorgan.
I'll make you eat it.
Eat it. Eat it.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey!
Hey.
Here.
Goodwin.
Hey.
Hey!
We're not going to find them.
Let's turn back.
What's the matter, Sheriff?
Don't you work on Sunday?
How do you expect to find
something you don't look for?
I told him he'd get lost.
I didn't say we'd look for him.
Yeah. We warned him.
And I'm finding the Lieutenant.
How do you expect me to take his
job away from him if I don't find him?
You've been around him so long
you begin to talk like him.
My mind is made up. We're going back.
Sure your mind is made up, Sheriff.
I just made it up for you.
Like I made your mind up to come
out with me in the first place.
Now you're going to stick it out.
What's that?
What do you make of it?
I bet you I will always find Tunner.
Come on. Let's go.
One year.
Just one more year.
Just another month, Jory.
Chatsburgh, Louisiana.
When do I leave?
Chatsburgh. Chatsburgh?
Five twenty.
Two hours to wait.
Two hours?
I waited two years for this dream.
Well, moving day, Jory. Good luck.
See you sometime, Lieutenant.
If you feel there's some bad behind you,
there's also a lot of good ahead of you.
Yeah. Big fish for breakfast.
The way she cooks them.
Have one on me.
..f-s..
