00:01:23Pile out, you tramps. It's the end of the line.
00:01:30Shit.
00:01:32© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:01:37© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:01:59Grab your last look at Precide, kid.
00:02:07© BF-WATCH TV 2021
00:02:15Hi, Emma.
00:02:16Hi.
00:02:17Shut up.
00:02:32Line up by twos.
00:02:33Take them to the receiving room, Kathy.
00:02:35You know the way blindfolded.
00:02:56I heard you was falling back in.
00:02:58Still got your scrubbing made up.
00:02:59Give me some skin.
00:03:02Ah, no guy's given me a tumble in months.
00:03:06Shut up.
00:03:07The lists are alphabetical.
00:03:09Marie Allen.
00:03:25Court says you're married. Legitimate?
00:03:32All valuables must be turned over to us until you hit Precide.
00:03:41Wedding ring, too.
00:03:43Mr. Cowley Jail, Gum Hills. Must have been here first.
00:03:46Do they still soak you at fiver for a phone call or a visitor?
00:03:50Sign this. I'll fill it in later.
00:03:55Mother living? Father? Any brothers or sisters?
00:03:57No.
00:03:58No.
00:03:59No.
00:04:00No.
00:04:01No.
00:04:02No.
00:04:03No.
00:04:04No.
00:04:05No.
00:04:06No.
00:04:07No.
00:04:08No.
00:04:09No.
00:04:10No.
00:04:12No.
00:04:14Well there's... there's just my mother she got married again.
00:04:20Nothing like this has ever happened to anybody in the family.
00:04:22No.
00:04:23No.
00:04:24Previous.
00:04:25Criminal record.
00:04:28Case of death what do we notify?
00:04:30Death?
00:04:31Oh,
00:04:32mom I guess.
00:04:35It belong to any church?
00:04:38Oh, it used to go.
00:04:39Oh, it's a... it's a church on State Street.
00:04:43I forget its name. I think...
00:04:47Armed robbery. For one to 15 years.
00:04:51The judge called me an accessory.
00:04:53I've got to get your version of the crime, so shoot.
00:04:56Well, we'd only been married a couple of months.
00:05:00We tried to find a place to live, but everything cost so much, so...
00:05:04So Mom let us move in with her and my stepfather.
00:05:08Well, Tom was always fighting with Gus.
00:05:11That's my stepfather.
00:05:14He tried to find a better job and then he got fired.
00:05:16Get to the crime.
00:05:18When Tom drove into that gas station, I stayed in the car while he...
00:05:25Then the attendant hit Tom over the head and I went out to help him.
00:05:30I guess that's why they called me an accessory.
00:05:33They took back the $40.
00:05:35Five bucks less and it wouldn't be a felony.
00:05:38Don't try to kid me. How old are you really?
00:05:4119.
00:05:44Sign this. I'll skip the mental test. You look normal enough.
00:05:48Lots of them have it all in marbles.
00:05:52You can take your physical.
00:05:54Where?
00:05:55The infirmary. Your number's 93850.
00:05:5993850.
00:06:00No. 93850. Remember it.
00:06:03The infirmary's at the end of the corridor. Follow your nose.
00:06:06Next, Emma Barber. Snap into it.
00:06:12Say, you got real skinny, didn't you?
00:06:21I hope your batch is cleaner than the last lot.
00:06:23I had to scrub them with brooms.
00:06:25Your nose.
00:06:32Eyes okay.
00:06:43No drugs in the ears. Open your mouth wide.
00:06:47I said wide.
00:06:48Wide.
00:06:54No drugs in mouth.
00:06:56Teeth sound.
00:06:59Lung tap sound.
00:07:02Heart excited but strong enough.
00:07:11What's the matter?
00:07:14I feel a little sick.
00:07:16You get that way often?
00:07:17Yes, the last week or so.
00:07:20Say, you expecting company?
00:07:26I don't know.
00:07:28Another pregnant one.
00:07:30Get up.
00:07:35You know who the father is?
00:07:37My husband.
00:07:39Well, ain't we getting respectable?
00:07:42Got any help with the expenses?
00:07:45He's dead.
00:07:47Another bill for the state.
00:07:49Get dressed.
00:07:50Shall I put down pregnant?
00:07:52No, better wait, see what the doc says.
00:07:55That train seal sure can ask a lot of questions.
00:07:58Who's this Pearl Harbor anyway? Is she an inmate?
00:08:01Shut up, Emma, and strip.
00:08:02Oh, goody.
00:08:08Never mind the glamour, Puss.
00:08:11Couldn't I have a comb?
00:08:13What's the difference? There's no men in here.
00:08:17Come on.
00:08:38Can I write a letter to my mother?
00:08:40No, not while you're in isolation.
00:08:42You gotta stay here until your blood test comes back.
00:08:44So for two weeks there'll be no mail,
00:08:46no visitors, no nothing.
00:09:11Welcome.
00:09:14To Lysol Lane.
00:09:18Did you just get in today?
00:09:22I'm on the last lap.
00:09:2410 to 20, they had to put me in here,
00:09:26no beds in the infirmary.
00:09:31I'm sick.
00:09:34I got it bad.
00:09:36Oh, I'm sorry.
00:09:40You better not stay too close to the beds, sister.
00:09:44Come on.
00:10:14It's just the break you get.
00:10:17Sometimes you get a matron who's a louse,
00:10:20sometimes you get a good egg.
00:10:24I'd walk a mile for a cigarette,
00:10:26if they'd let me.
00:10:28I was just thinking.
00:10:30Quit bragging.
00:10:32It's all the judge's fault I'm here.
00:10:34When Joe first beats me up,
00:10:36I grab his gun and just wing him in the shoulder.
00:10:38Do they arrest me?
00:10:40No.
00:10:41Then a year later I fires at Joe again and miss.
00:10:43Do they give me a rap for attempted assault?
00:10:45No.
00:10:47Then last year I defends myself again with a gun
00:10:49and the police still treats me like I was poison ivy.
00:10:52And then finally I finish Joe off for good.
00:10:55But it's that judge.
00:10:57If he didn't have me the first three times
00:10:59while I was just practicing,
00:11:01I wouldn't be here now for murder.
00:11:04It's all the judge's fault.
00:11:06Oh, oh.
00:11:07Read it and weep.
00:11:15Rubbin' it in because we're behind the iron.
00:11:31Heads or tails, you lose.
00:11:33You girls are movin' along today.
00:11:36Marie Allen, I've got news for you from the infirmary.
00:11:40Your blood came back okay, no treatment.
00:11:42Now the superintendent will see you first.
00:11:45And Doc says you're two months on the way.
00:11:57I'm sorry.
00:11:58That's swell, honey.
00:12:00I got a grown-up son.
00:12:02Older than you.
00:12:04It's funny, you get a baby from a guy
00:12:06and then 20 years later you finish him off.
00:12:09Hello, Ann.
00:12:11Well, it's good to see you.
00:12:13How are things up front?
00:12:15Busy.
00:12:16Who's first?
00:12:17Marie Allen.
00:12:21Good luck, kid.
00:12:23Be seeing you.
00:12:24It's tough at first.
00:12:26I know, I've been through the mill.
00:12:28Been here eight years.
00:12:30Kept my nose clean
00:12:32and Mrs. Benton let me help her in the office.
00:12:35Having a regular job like that
00:12:37certainly makes you feel good
00:12:39after working in the bakery for five years.
00:12:41What have you been for?
00:12:46Murder.
00:12:48Murder.
00:13:00Come in.
00:13:01Sit down here, please.
00:13:13Don't be frightened.
00:13:14I want you to know that we're all here to help you.
00:13:17I want you to believe that I'd like to be your friend.
00:13:20If you'll let me.
00:13:23What is it?
00:13:25What's troubling you, Marie?
00:13:45I've been so lonely the last two weeks.
00:13:49Those other women, the way they talked to me,
00:13:52the awful things they said.
00:13:55And those matrons always watching,
00:13:57never leaving you alone.
00:13:59You'll find all kinds of women in here
00:14:01just as you would outside.
00:14:04But every large institution must have rules
00:14:07and the matrons are here to see that the rules are obeyed.
00:14:09You weren't sent here to be punished.
00:14:11Just being here is the punishment, that's all.
00:14:18You know, first offenders like you, Marie,
00:14:21are our greatest concern.
00:14:24Unfortunately, they have to be crowded in
00:14:26with more experienced women
00:14:28simply because we haven't more space
00:14:30and you'll be with such women.
00:14:34I don't know what to do.
00:14:35Of course, I want you to have friends.
00:14:37All of us need an outlet for affection.
00:14:40But no prison is a normal place.
00:14:44How soon can I go home?
00:14:47If your record is good,
00:14:49you can come up for parole in 10 months.
00:14:53But I'm going to have a baby.
00:14:55Do I have to have it in here?
00:14:59I know how you feel, Marie.
00:15:01I know how you feel.
00:15:03I know how you feel, Marie.
00:15:06But the inmates aren't allowed to go home
00:15:08to have their babies.
00:15:11Well, don't worry.
00:15:13Any blood relative can take care of your child
00:15:15until you get out.
00:15:19And my mother will take care of it.
00:15:22But they wouldn't let me ride her.
00:15:24Can I ride her now?
00:15:26Of course, now that we're sure
00:15:28that your relatives actually exist.
00:15:30That's because some of the inmates
00:15:32have made personal contacts
00:15:34into kind-hearted uncles and cousins
00:15:36and sometimes even sick grandmothers.
00:15:41I know how strange all this is to you.
00:15:44But you were sent here
00:15:46because you were involved in a serious crime.
00:15:49We want to help you
00:15:51so that when you go home, you can start a new life.
00:15:55I want to do the right thing.
00:15:57You're an intelligent girl.
00:15:59You know good from bad.
00:16:00Try to keep busy.
00:16:02It's important.
00:16:05Now as to your work.
00:16:08I'll bet you helped your mother
00:16:10with your father's shirts, didn't you?
00:16:12Yes.
00:16:14Well, we'll put you in the laundry.
00:16:16As a checker, it'll be easier for you
00:16:18because of the baby.
00:16:20You can see me anytime.
00:16:31Hi, Ann.
00:16:33Hello, Harper.
00:16:35Since you went fancy
00:16:37working upstairs for Benton,
00:16:39I kind of missed you.
00:16:41This is Marie Allen.
00:16:43Mrs. Benton says to put her in laundry.
00:16:45Marie's going to have a baby.
00:16:47She's going to have a baby.
00:16:49She's going to have a baby.
00:16:51She's going to have a baby.
00:16:53She's going to have a baby.
00:16:55She's going to have a baby.
00:16:57She's going to have a baby.
00:16:58Marie's going to have a baby.
00:17:00A baby, huh?
00:17:02Well, you're just a kid yourself.
00:17:06So long, Marie.
00:17:08Goodbye, Ann.
00:17:09Thank you.
00:17:11Let's you and me get acquainted, honey.
00:17:13You may be a number to the others,
00:17:15but not to me.
00:17:17Sit down in this chair.
00:17:19It's kind of roomy.
00:17:25You like the stuff in here, huh?
00:17:26Just little presents to my girls
00:17:28for taking good care of them.
00:17:32Caramel?
00:17:34No, thank you.
00:17:36Cigarette.
00:17:38You know, you're going to find out
00:17:40that a lot of things are tough to get in here.
00:17:43This is just a little personal service of my own.
00:17:47On the side, sort of.
00:17:49Understand?
00:17:52I like to do a good turn for my girls.
00:17:53Why, sometimes on my night off,
00:17:55I drop in on their relatives.
00:17:58I could get real news to your husband.
00:18:02He's dead.
00:18:04What about your people?
00:18:06What do they do?
00:18:08My stepfather's a mechanic,
00:18:10but he's not working.
00:18:13Well, I guess they saved up for her any day.
00:18:16Like me, investing in real estate for my old age.
00:18:20I don't know.
00:18:21Well, you think how much easier I could make it for you.
00:18:24You being in a delicate condition, so to speak.
00:18:27The little comforts.
00:18:29Maybe you got a habit that's hard to break.
00:18:32Cigarettes or something?
00:18:34I know how it is.
00:18:36I could get you whatever you wanted.
00:18:40Time's money to me.
00:18:42I can't favor every one of 60 girls.
00:18:45Well, Mom would be glad to help if she could.
00:18:48I'm sure she would.
00:18:49She'd be glad to help if she could.
00:18:51No duh, boy.
00:18:56Follow me.
00:19:08Home, sweet home.
00:19:10Just like the big cage in the zoo,
00:19:12only you clean it up instead of the keeper.
00:19:14Bucket and brush is in the corner closet.
00:19:15Mrs. Benton said I was going to work in the laundry.
00:19:18I'm the boss here.
00:19:20Start scrubbing.
00:19:22But Mrs. Benton told me...
00:19:27Where do I begin, Miss Harper?
00:19:29Now, you're getting hip.
00:19:46Use this line.
00:19:48Soap's low.
00:19:59Okay, get going.
00:20:10Didn't you ever scrub a floor before?
00:20:12Put your shoes on.
00:20:13Didn't you ever scrub a floor before?
00:20:15Put your shoulder in it.
00:20:19Now you're doing okay.
00:20:21Keep that up and you and me
00:20:23are going to get along just fine.
00:20:31Pipe the new fish.
00:20:34Millie, the old dame in the bed,
00:20:36says you're loud talk to Harper.
00:20:38That took guts.
00:20:40How much time you pulling?
00:20:41One to 15 years.
00:20:43But I come up for parole in 10 months.
00:20:45Just a hot minute.
00:20:47What's your rap?
00:20:49Robbery.
00:20:51Society.
00:20:53Licensed don't talk to CPs.
00:20:55CPs?
00:20:57Are you kidding?
00:20:59CP, common prostitute.
00:21:01Where you been living, the moon?
00:21:03An angst moochie.
00:21:06Glad to meet you.
00:21:12Got news for you.
00:21:14She's all right.
00:21:16I'm Kitty Stark and that's Claire.
00:21:18What's your name?
00:21:20Marie Allen.
00:21:22Stop scrubbing.
00:21:24Chew the fat.
00:21:26Hey, Lottie, chalk us.
00:21:41Maybe you need bifocals.
00:21:44Dish is poison.
00:21:46Harper's pet knows.
00:21:48I'll tell Evelyn.
00:21:50Evelyn? Don't kid me.
00:21:52Harper's first name is Filth.
00:22:12Kitty.
00:22:14Kitty.
00:22:16Oh, Kitty.
00:22:18What's the beef?
00:22:20The basin.
00:22:22Said if I broke another dish, she'd report me.
00:22:24She refuses to believe I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:26Yeah, I know.
00:22:28But ain't I told you before?
00:22:30I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:32I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:34I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:36I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:38I've never worked in the kitchen.
00:22:39Yeah, I know.
00:22:41But ain't I told you not to go shooting your mouth off
00:22:43about yourself, all about the servants you had
00:22:45and your governesses and the yacht your old man bought?
00:22:48Oh, why won't anyone understand?
00:22:51It's always been like that.
00:22:54Even as a child, I had no one to go to
00:22:56when I was in trouble.
00:22:58My parents were always away.
00:23:01Even after I was married, I...
00:23:03You're new here, aren't you?
00:23:08I'm Georgia Harrison.
00:23:11I'm not supposed to be here.
00:23:13I didn't forge those checks.
00:23:15It was all a mistake.
00:23:17Wait until my appeal comes through.
00:23:19Then I'll get out of here.
00:23:21My father's waiting for me.
00:23:24And he knows I'm not guilty.
00:23:27We have a rose garden out of here.
00:23:28And in the summer, it's beautiful.
00:23:30All day, I'll sit and watch the roses.
00:23:33And in the evening...
00:23:37She's a real lady, Georgia.
00:23:39Only she married some guy
00:23:41who likes spending other people's dough.
00:23:43So he got her to write out a bunch of bounces.
00:23:46I got news for you.
00:23:48Georgia gives this place class.
00:23:50She ain't the only one.
00:23:52I have two real mink coats.
00:23:54And a pair of shoes.
00:23:55And a shelf full of real French perfumes
00:23:57that my girls lifted right out
00:23:59of one of the swankiest stores in town.
00:24:01Go rub it in.
00:24:03All I ever had was a different pair
00:24:05of shoes for every night.
00:24:09Charmine!
00:24:11Dotty!
00:24:13Millie!
00:24:15Dotty, look it!
00:24:17Did you read all about me in the papers?
00:24:19They even had my picture.
00:24:21Get those things out of here.
00:24:22Next time I'll get somebody
00:24:24to show you how to scrub a floor.
00:24:28In line!
00:24:52In line!
00:25:23Get back to the boat, Kim.
00:25:32Wheeler, how did you get word to Benton?
00:25:36I didn't.
00:25:38You're a liar.
00:25:41You're right enough to be a liar.
00:25:43I'm not a liar.
00:25:45I'm not a liar.
00:25:47I'm not a liar.
00:25:49I'm not a liar.
00:25:51You're right enough, phony hopper.
00:25:53It was me got word to Benton.
00:25:56I'm a tall weed in the grass
00:25:58and the grapevine's blooming.
00:26:03You old buzzard.
00:26:05Lay a hand on me
00:26:07and I'll put your lights out.
00:26:09I'm in for life.
00:26:11One more like you is just so much velvet.
00:26:17Ain't got no time to argue.

00:27:20You're Stare Simple if you think you made more dough play in the con game than I did
00:27:45in my racket.
00:27:46Who are you calling Stare Simple, you cheap crook?
00:27:48Oh, quit bragging about how much dough you used to make both of you, give me a pain.
00:27:53I made double what any of you made, and I'm not bragging.
00:27:55There wasn't a crook or jeweler in town who didn't come to me.
00:27:58Once I stashed a load of hot ice worth 50,000 bucks.
00:28:03What a sweet racket we had.
00:28:05Six suckers a day bit the hook.
00:28:06Huh.
00:28:07Then we'd lime out of town before the coppers caught up.
00:28:10Joe and me lived high.
00:28:12You girls are lucky.
00:28:13I always fall in love with a guy that won't work.
00:28:16Last one beat me up, then beat out of town.
00:28:18I got news for you.
00:28:20Men are important.
00:28:21Personally, I'd hate to see them abolished.
00:28:23If it wasn't for men, we wouldn't be in here.
00:28:26You said it.
00:28:27I've been married five times.
00:28:29What's wrong with that?
00:28:30Nothing.
00:28:31You're not married to them all at the same time, like I was.
00:28:36I bet you've got some story too, eh, Kitty?
00:28:43Your husband in Sturm?
00:28:44He was killed in the hood.
00:28:45If he was alive, he'd have another day when he got out anyway.
00:28:49How many jobs did you pull before they nabbed you?
00:29:01I don't want to talk about it.
00:29:04Please.
00:30:06Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:30:13oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
00:30:44I want to go home.
00:30:47I want to get out of here.
00:30:52Do you hear that train?
00:30:55People are going home on that train.
00:30:58Aaaaah!
00:31:02Conductor, wait for me!
00:31:06Let me on that train!
00:31:10Let me out of here.
00:31:13I don't belong in here.
00:31:16I'm Georgia Harrison.
00:31:19Father!
00:31:22Father!
00:31:25Father!
00:31:27Father!
00:31:29Oh, Father!
00:31:34Grab her. She's bleeding like a stuck pig.
00:31:39A cold hose will quiet her down.
00:31:41No, Harper. The infirmary. She's got an artery.
00:31:44She's got an artery.
00:32:10Find out, you tramp!
00:32:14Find out, you tramp!
00:32:19Richardson, Velma.
00:32:20Kofsky, Jada.
00:32:21O'Connor, Mary.
00:32:22Allen, Murray.
00:32:45Oh, no!
00:33:08That old lady of mine thinks she's right.
00:33:11And I know you'll be a good girl and keep out of trouble.
00:33:15How much more trouble can I get into?
00:33:19Get lost.
00:33:20You ain't deep.
00:33:23I've been watching you.
00:33:25You're no squealer, so I'm going to give you a break.
00:33:28What are you going to do when you flop out of stir?
00:33:30Ever figure on boosting?
00:33:32This kid wouldn't know a booster from a hustler.
00:33:34Boosting, shoplifting, the department store circuit.
00:33:38None of your five and dime stuff like your first rat.
00:33:41We operate on a big scale.
00:33:43The boys will protect you just like your own mother.
00:33:46If they protect you, why are you in here?
00:33:49I knocked a guy off.
00:33:51The syndicate pays me for recruitment so I can take care of Harper.
00:33:55Live easy.
00:33:57You just leave it to me and I'll see that you get your parole quick.
00:34:02You see, these guys I'm working with,
00:34:05they got dragged.
00:34:08Time to flop out and they'll fake a legit job for you.
00:34:11With the soft dough you can make shoplifting,
00:34:13you can get the things a girl likes.
00:34:19I know what's going through her head.
00:34:21She's been listening to Benton.
00:34:23Rehabilitation, taking cold showers,
00:34:26working for good behavior.
00:34:28When I get out, I'm not coming back.
00:34:30After I'm paroled.
00:34:31Paroled?
00:34:32Didn't the parole board okay me?
00:34:34Didn't the parole board okay me?
00:34:36I've been packed a solid year pulling dead time.
00:34:39Yeah, well, Peter...
00:34:40They don't let any con out of stir
00:34:42until the parole officer gets her a job and a place to live.
00:34:45We think we're flopping out, then wham.
00:34:47They can't find us a job.
00:34:49And we're packed in here pulling dead time.
00:34:51You see, kid, in this cage,
00:34:53you get tough or you get killed.
00:34:56Better wise up before it's too late.
00:34:59Now, how about it?
00:35:02Don't think I'm not grateful,
00:35:04but I don't want to get mixed up in anything.
00:35:07I don't think boosting's the only way to get along
00:35:10when I get out of here.
00:35:12I've got to do it my own way.
00:35:31You was a nurse in Freeside.
00:35:59What's the matter with her?
00:36:00Nothing that vitamins and calcium wouldn't help.
00:36:03They got them pills in the pogie?
00:36:05They never heard of anything but aspirin.
00:36:07Tell the nurse I said she should go out
00:36:08and get you whatever stuff you need.
00:36:10That slob will do it. She owes me plenty.
00:36:12I'm all right now.
00:36:13Marie knows where taking favors from you will land her.
00:36:15Ain't you learned nothing?
00:36:17Quit needling her.
00:36:18The only thing important is my baby.
00:36:20If you're old enough to have a kid,
00:36:21you don't need this big sister
00:36:22sticking her nose where it don't belong.
00:36:25Tomorrow's parole board day.
00:36:27Would you find out if my name's on the list?
00:36:30Mrs. Benton promised at the moment...
00:36:32You're on the list.
00:36:333.30 tomorrow.
00:36:35Benton's office.
00:36:36Be there.
00:36:43Nice work, kid.
00:36:45I got a new bra you can have.
00:36:46I got some slick new perfume you can have.
00:36:48Let me iron you up.
00:36:49I'll iron you up.
00:36:51Do they fit?
00:36:52They pinch a little,
00:36:53but they look better than mine.
00:36:55Thanks.
00:37:01Well, how do I look?
00:37:03Oh, fine.
00:37:063 o'clock.
00:37:08Three hours away.
00:37:11I'd have gone crazy if I had to pull another year.
00:37:14I'm sorry.
00:37:15It's all right.
00:37:18I'd have gone crazy if I had to pull another year.
00:37:23I'll be 30 soon.
00:37:25After you got out the first time,
00:37:26what made you fall back in?
00:37:29Same thing that got me in the first time.
00:37:34A guy.
00:37:40When I met him, I was wet behind the ears.
00:37:43Sex and love and marriage all mixed up.
00:37:47When I got out of school, he hired me.
00:37:50I didn't know until it was too late
00:37:52what kind of a dirty racket he was in.
00:37:57I loved him too much to walk out on him.
00:38:02You're lucky your man's dead.
00:38:04Don't say that.
00:38:05Your man's dead.
00:38:07He can't turn you into a two-time loser like mine did.
00:38:15After I got out the first time,
00:38:18Larry was waiting for me.
00:38:21But that's all over with.
00:38:23I'm starting from scratch.
00:38:46They flopped me back.
00:38:50They flopped me back.
00:39:16Quit cheating, you dirty crook.
00:39:18Who are you calling a dirty crook?
00:39:20Shut up, the both of you, and play cards.
00:39:22You're calling me a dirty crook.
00:39:23Well, it's true, ain't it?
00:39:24Yeah, but I got a right to be sensitive about it, ain't I?
00:39:28I'll call you an up-two.
00:39:31You're loaded with nothing.
00:39:33There's your two and three more.
00:39:41You in this pot, June?
00:39:43The twister and the slammer.
00:39:47365 more nights and days.
00:39:51And a wake-up.
00:39:55Get a load of the new look.
00:39:58Get a load of me.
00:40:01I said I'd get a load of me.
00:40:04Let's go.
00:40:06Let's go, Allison.
00:40:08What's going on?
00:40:10I'm trying to find out.
00:40:13I told you, I told you to get a load of me.
00:40:15I said I'd get a load of me.
00:40:18I'll be back in a minute.
00:40:23By the time we get out of here, it'll be the old look.
00:40:26I got news for you.
00:40:28That's what dames are wearing now.
00:40:30I'm glad I'm in here.
00:40:38The guy outside likes the way I look.
00:40:42Must have bought himself a brand-new car.
00:40:45Must be a truck.
00:40:48He's taking me to a show.
00:40:51Tough they flopped you back in.
00:40:53We could have double-dated with his friend.
00:40:57After the show, he's taking me to his place.
00:41:02He's got a room up over the bar where he works.
00:41:06Real comfortable, if you know what I mean.
00:41:11Every time he kisses me goodnight,
00:41:14I just want to keep on leaving him.
00:41:16He's got...
00:41:17Keep your snoring away from me.
00:41:20Goodnight, girls. Pleasant dreams.
00:41:26At least we got honest matrons in here.
00:41:28When I bribe one, she stays bribed.
00:41:34Anything you want.
00:41:36Harper! Harper!
00:41:39Before you go, you better tell Benton.
00:41:42June's acting stirpogs.
00:41:44All repeaters act queer when they flop back.
00:41:47Pete don't like me to keep him waiting.
00:41:51I'm going to tell him.
00:41:53I'm going to tell him.
00:41:55I'm going to tell him.
00:41:57I'm going to tell him.
00:41:59I'm going to tell him.
00:42:01I'm going to tell him.
00:42:03I'm going to tell him.
00:42:05See you in the morning, girls.
00:42:35June.
00:42:52June.
00:43:05June.
00:43:06June.
00:43:35June.
00:43:56I'd like to speak to Dr. Saunders.
00:43:59What?
00:44:00I can't hear you.
00:44:02Yes, I know.
00:44:04Shh.
00:44:05Shh.
00:44:06He's not here.
00:44:07He went out on a case.
00:44:12Dr. Ashton?
00:44:14This is Ruth Benton.
00:44:15I'm sorry to call you at such an hour,
00:44:17but I remember your offer to be a free consultant.
00:44:20An emergency.
00:44:22A premature birth.
00:44:24Eight months.
00:44:27Yes, thank you, doctor.
00:44:31What's everybody blowing their fumes for?
00:44:33I thought there were kids in here by the dozen.
00:44:35It's a miracle they didn't die.
00:44:53Get a clean blanket.
00:44:57When my dog had this temper,
00:44:58I took him to a cleaner infirmary than this one.
00:45:00Yes, I know, doctor.
00:45:02Twice I've put in requisitions
00:45:03to have this place modernized and repainted.
00:45:05Why not use $1,000 of your budget for the purpose?
00:45:09Maybe if the medical board were to take it up.
00:45:26Five inmates have told me
00:45:27June was acutely depressed last night.
00:45:29They swear they asked you to advise them.
00:45:31You believe any bull his inmates hand you.
00:45:34I've asked you time and time again
00:45:36to watch changes in a girl's behavior.
00:45:38You mean to tell me you couldn't see
00:45:40that she was acting strangely?
00:45:41With 60 girls in my bullpen,
00:45:43my only job is to see that nobody escapes.
00:45:45You helped to kill June
00:45:46just as surely as if you'd hanged her yourself.
00:45:53Will they investigate?
00:45:56I wish somebody cared enough to make an investigation.
00:46:01So what are you going to do? Suspend me?
00:46:05I'm going to do everything I can to have you fired.
00:46:10You gave me three suspensions
00:46:12and you couldn't make one of them stick.
00:46:14Remember?
00:46:15This time I will.
00:46:17So you call the commissioner.
00:46:18So what?
00:46:20I call my friend Thornton Goodrich.
00:46:22He gets the commissioner on the phone and bingo.
00:46:24I'm back on the job again.
00:46:26You sit there on your bustle, the big boss,
00:46:30and think you know how to run this place.
00:46:32Do you know how it ought to be run?
00:46:35With a piece of rubber hose.
00:46:37Break them in two if they talk out of turn.
00:46:40Anyone who doesn't toe the mark sits in solitary for one month.
00:46:43Bread and water.
00:46:45One funny move from a girl
00:46:47and I'd clip every hair off of her head.
00:46:49That's the way it used to be run
00:46:51and that's the way it ought to be run.
00:46:53Just like they're a bunch of animals in a cage.
00:46:57Get out of here.
00:47:18Is she alone?
00:47:19She is.
00:47:20I'll go right in.
00:47:21If you'd just let me ask her...
00:47:23Mr. Darnley.
00:47:24Blame the lieutenant governor for this visit.
00:47:26He asked me to drop in.
00:47:28I'm always glad to see you, Mr. Darnley.
00:47:30Too bad about what happened last night.
00:47:33Please sit down, Mr. Darnley.
00:47:35Thank you.
00:47:36Someone on the state medical board
00:47:38got in touch with the lieutenant governor
00:47:40early this morning and raised a big howl.
00:47:42Howl?
00:47:43A zealous young doctor.
00:47:46I forget his name.
00:47:48He called the board and was shocked about the infirmary.
00:47:55I warned you that something like this would happen
00:47:58when the board voted us $8,000 instead of $80,000.
00:48:01Can't you understand that in the long run
00:48:03$80,000 would have saved the state millions?
00:48:05What do you want for your girls now?
00:48:07A swimming pool? Television sets?
00:48:10A beauty parlor?
00:48:11No, merely the things I worked to get in other prisons
00:48:13and did get.
00:48:14Teachers? A full-time psychiatrist?
00:48:17Now, don't tell me that your inmates fell in love
00:48:20with their grandfathers' bicycles when they were little.
00:48:25I'm afraid I'm too tired to appreciate your wit, Mr. Darnley.
00:48:29I only know what we need.
00:48:31I wish we could drag the public in here
00:48:33to watch the inmates decaying.
00:48:36I have a great respect for you.
00:48:38You're a fighter.
00:48:40I used to be a golden-gloves boy myself in the old days.
00:48:44They taught me that when the odds were against a good fighter
00:48:47to cover up if you wanted to keep on your feet
00:48:49because even though you lose the decision
00:48:51it's better than a knockout.
00:48:53Good morning, Mrs. Benton.
00:48:56Good morning.
00:49:23Good morning.
00:49:53Good morning.
00:50:16Did it say on his birth certificate?
00:50:18You got a break.
00:50:20He just put the name of the town.
00:50:28Your mother's downstairs in the visiting room.
00:50:31Can't she come up and see the baby?
00:50:34It's against orders.
00:50:50Come on.
00:51:08Mom.
00:51:10Mom.
00:51:12Marie, baby, you feeling all right now?
00:51:15I'm okay. How are you?
00:51:17I'll ail in a bit.
00:51:19I hope you understood about me not writing.
00:51:21I mean, I ain't much on writing.
00:51:24Sure.
00:51:26Isn't it wonderful about your grandson?
00:51:29Yeah, wonderful.
00:51:31I'm gonna call him Tommy.
00:51:32Oh, Mom, you're gonna love him.
00:51:34Already he's got hair the same color as Tom's.
00:51:37But he's got your eyes.
00:51:39I can't take the baby.
00:51:41Oh, I want to.
00:51:43What woman my age don't want a grandchild?
00:51:45But your stepfather won't have it in the house.
00:51:47We argued and argued till I was blue in the face.
00:51:50So help me, if I had a dime to my name, I'd walk out on him.
00:51:54I keep figuring how I could take the baby.
00:51:56I can't leave Gus.
00:51:58There'd be no one to take care of me till you get out,
00:52:01and I ain't getting any younger.
00:52:03I don't know what to do.
00:52:05I don't know what to do.
00:52:07Mom, stop crying.
00:52:09Tom's folks are dead.
00:52:10If you won't take him, they'll put him out for adoption.
00:52:12What do you want me to do?
00:52:13You've got to leave Gus.
00:52:15I'll be out of here in three months.
00:52:16I'll get a job and support you.
00:52:18We'll have a real home, you and the baby and me.
00:52:21Mom, find something until I get out.
00:52:23I'm not as young as I was.
00:52:25I tire easy.
00:52:26The dog stares my feet.
00:52:27Can't you think of anyone but yourself?
00:52:29Maybe it would be better if someone else took him.
00:52:32Some nice family with money.
00:52:34They could bring him up real nice.
00:52:35I don't want anyone else to have him.
00:52:37Oh, my God.
00:52:38Oh, my God.
00:52:39You're his only flesh and blood.
00:52:41You've got to take him.
00:52:42Don't keep saying that.
00:52:43Don't keep saying that.
00:52:46Mother, come back here.
00:52:48You've got to take him.
00:52:50You've got to take him.
00:52:52Mother, come back.
00:52:54Mother.
00:52:55Mother.
00:53:02Don't let it throw you, honey.
00:53:04You're still a kid.
00:53:06If you get paroled soon enough,
00:53:08there'll be a lot of guys that'll tumble for you.
00:53:11You can even get hitched and have another kid
00:53:13if you're dope enough to want to.
00:53:16The trick's to flop out as quick as you can.
00:53:19Like I've told you, the boys can get you paroled moving fast.
00:53:22How about it?
00:53:24Don't it make sense, honey?
00:53:27Think it over, sweetie.
00:53:29But get this through your head.
00:53:31If you stay in here too long,
00:53:33you don't think of guys at all.
00:53:36You just get out of the habit.
00:53:43Come on.
00:54:14Fire off, you tramps.
00:54:16There's no upstairs delicatessen.
00:54:18Time for count.
00:54:44Lewis, Millie.
00:54:46Richardson, Belmont.
00:54:47Stark, Chitty.
00:54:48Taylor, Allen.
00:54:49Allen, Marie.
00:54:50Three o'clock tomorrow, Benton's office.
00:54:53Parole hearing.
00:54:54Mullin, Elaine.
00:54:55Carden and Ruth.
00:54:57Brannigan, Lottie.
00:54:59Huffman, Ilza.
00:55:00Elkins, Peggy.
00:55:01Pogo, Daddy.
00:55:03When you get in there, say anything you got on your chest.
00:55:06It's a one chance you got to spill the words.
00:55:08Benton will be pulling for you.
00:55:09And when you get out of this cage,
00:55:11take yourself a bubble bath with me
00:55:13and part in it for a week.
00:55:15Have your breakfast, dinner, everything in it.
00:55:18You know, honey, you're going to find out
00:55:20that most people in Freeside
00:55:22wouldn't hand you a job cleaning out a hog den.
00:55:24If you listen to me...
00:55:25You're wasting your time, Kitty.
00:55:28Your funeral.
00:55:30Come on.
00:55:40Hey, Foley.
00:55:42Wait till Kitty Stark sees this.
00:55:45They friends?
00:55:46Friends.
00:55:47They hate each other's guts.
00:56:01What's so funny?
00:56:02We've got a new face coming in.
00:56:04Maybe if you're real nice, you might get her for a roommate.
00:56:07An old friend of yours.
00:56:09Elvira Powell.
00:56:12It's going to be a rich haul.
00:56:14None of your petty auntie stuff.
00:56:16You'll still do what I pay you to do.
00:56:18Them days are over.
00:56:20Hey, girls, take a look at your Queen Bee.
00:56:22She's buzzing off the throne.
00:56:24She never was nothing but a dime a dozen booster
00:56:26with so little influence,
00:56:27she couldn't even get off on self-defense
00:56:29for a murder rap.
00:56:31I got nothing against you.
00:56:33It's just a matter of dollars and cents.
00:56:35Elvira Powell's an institution
00:56:37with a big bankroll stashed away,
00:56:39and I always wanted to meet an institution.
00:56:47Someday I'm going to get my hands in her hair,
00:56:50and I'm going to pull it out by the roots.
00:56:58I made it! I made it!
00:57:00I made my parole!
00:57:06Ahem.
00:57:08This is Marie Allen.
00:57:14I'm sorry.
00:57:16I'm sorry.
00:57:18I'm sorry.
00:57:20I'm sorry.
00:57:22I'm sorry.
00:57:24I'm sorry.
00:57:26I'm sorry.
00:57:57Marie, we have to decide
00:57:59whether nine months has taught you
00:58:01that robbing people at the point of a gun...
00:58:03I never wanted to,
00:58:04but my husband wouldn't listen to reason.
00:58:06I couldn't leave him. I loved him.
00:58:15Now, what type of work can you do?
00:58:22Speak up.
00:58:25Speak up.
00:58:27I... I could be a salesgirl,
00:58:30or wait tables,
00:58:32working in laundry
00:58:33after all the experience I've had here.
00:58:35Please try to make your answers brief.
00:58:38This report states
00:58:40your stepfather refuses to have you in his home.
00:58:44Where would you live if paroled?
00:58:48Well, where would you live?
00:58:50With relatives?
00:58:52My uncle Charles and Uncle Harry.
00:58:54They're very respectable.
00:58:55Uncle Harry's a gateman
00:58:56for one of the biggest factories.
00:58:58They're very fond of me.
00:58:59If they're so fond of you,
00:59:00why didn't they take your child?
00:59:02Well, a baby would have been a lot of trouble.
00:59:05I wouldn't be.
00:59:07We'll investigate them.
00:59:10Maybe... Maybe it would be better if I lived alone.
00:59:12Any place the parole officer found.
00:59:14Out of the question.
00:59:16We must make certain
00:59:17that you have beneficial surroundings and guidance.
00:59:19You're hardly more than a child.
00:59:21Only 19.
00:59:23A girl grows old here before her time.
00:59:27Marie's been married.
00:59:28She's seen her husband killed.
00:59:29She's born a baby here in prison.
00:59:31She's had the baby taken away from her by law.
00:59:34How can anyone be called young
00:59:36who has lived through such experiences?
00:59:38I've lived a lifetime and a year in this cage.
00:59:41If I have to fall back in, I'll be like the others.
00:59:43And I'm not like them.
00:59:45Oh, please.
00:59:46Please give me a chance to prove it.
00:59:48I've paid my debt.
00:59:49Let me out, please.
00:59:50You'll never regret it.
00:59:51I promise I'll...
01:00:04What? What?
01:00:06Wait till I fix this thing.
01:00:08I haven't gotten the hang of it yet.
01:00:16At your age,
01:00:17with no favorable home conditions
01:00:19and no beneficial influences on the outside,
01:00:22we feel that nine months is too short a time
01:00:25to prepare you for your responsibilities outside.
01:00:28Parole is not granted.
01:00:30We'll review your case in a few months,
01:00:32and you'll hear from us.
01:00:50Help!
01:00:52Help!
01:01:23Shh, shh.
01:01:34Got flopped back.
01:01:36Tried to do a mope.
01:01:37Hanging on a bush, eh?
01:01:39Benton says no solitary.
01:01:41Oh, Benton's a fool.
01:01:42If I had her job, I'd...
01:01:44Benton's okay with me.
01:01:52So I go on this picnic, see?
01:01:54Skinny takes me out in a rowboat.
01:01:56He begins criticizing my family, though,
01:01:58and to make it worse, he slaps me.
01:02:00So I slap him back.
01:02:01You just slapped him?
01:02:03Well, I did have an oar in my hand.
01:02:06He kept on hitting me, so I kept on slapping him.
01:02:08Still with the oar in your hand?
01:02:10What'd you keep on slapping him for?
01:02:11Well, he kept on coming up.
01:02:14Pipe the new fish.
01:02:16Get a load of Elvira Powell.
01:02:18Come on, girl.
01:02:20Well, help me.
01:02:21I never saw such an old-looking bunch of bags.
01:02:24I've checked in here for maybe six months.
01:02:26Grand Jury's having itself a little fun.
01:02:28So in order to save some of my friend's embarrassment,
01:02:31I got myself a phony rap
01:02:32so they can't subpoena me as a witness.
01:02:34It'll all blow over by spring.
01:02:36I'm used to comfort, and I'll expect it.
01:02:38Pick up your check at my lawyer's, Vic Davis.
01:02:40There's $100 waiting for you every week
01:02:43for value received.
01:02:47Hello, Kitty.
01:02:51Read about you and Ed.
01:02:53Divorcing him would have been easier.
01:02:56Kimpy Sullivan says you're drumming up shoplifters from the inside.
01:03:00I got a concession.
01:03:01No more.
01:03:02While I'm in, I want no kibitzing from you.
01:03:10What's your name?
01:03:13How'd you hurt your hand?
01:03:15I'm a big girl.
01:03:17This isn't my first year away from home.
01:03:19Her name is Marie Allen.
01:03:22If I said no to Kitty, I'm sure not going to say yes to you.
01:03:28She's a cute trick.
01:03:30She's a cute trick.
01:03:48Oh, wake up, love.
01:03:50You're playing a game.
01:03:51Sure, you can sit down in a department store.
01:03:53That could be your gold bag you got in your hand.
01:03:55Okay, now try it again,
01:03:57and make out like that cake of soap's a diamond pin.
01:04:00How much?
01:04:01150 bucks.
01:04:03Okay, wrap it up.
01:04:13Spotters would have nabbed you.
01:04:14I'm too dumb to be a booster.
01:04:16Some dames got more talent than others.
01:04:18But I gotta have some trade if I ever get out of here.
01:04:21You any good at it, Marie?
01:04:23Anybody with half a brain could figure out how to fool a spotter.
01:04:27Pigeon like you'd get her wings clipped first trip out.
01:04:36Now, let's see.
01:04:38If this is the jewelry counter,
01:04:40what counter would be over there?
01:04:43Yes, perfume, gloves.
01:04:46Then the elevators would be over there.
01:04:49Yeah.
01:04:51That's shown her.
01:04:57A bullseye, baby.
01:04:59By the time you're sprung,
01:05:00I can have you connected with one of the biggest outfits.
01:05:04Come on, you tramps.
01:05:06Line up for Christmas.
01:05:12Mina Minnelli.
01:05:15Emma Barber.
01:05:17Emma Barber.
01:05:19Emma Barber.
01:05:23Mary O'Connor.
01:05:25I said he couldn't get in here. He's a man.
01:05:28Marie Allen.
01:05:33Sadie Fillmore.
01:05:37Naomi Bates.
01:05:39Mary Brown.
01:05:42What do you know?
01:05:44Jungle Red.
01:05:46It's funny how lipstick can make you feel all prettied up.
01:05:48Who sent them?
01:05:50Powell. Slipped Harper a check to buy them for us.
01:05:52That bloated buzzard. Who does she think she's kidding with lipstick?
01:05:55She knows she can't keep them.
01:05:57She only did it to get Benton's soul.
01:05:59She'll drool when she sees the super coming and taking them away from us.
01:06:02Well, until Benton finds out, I sure feel like a new woman.
01:06:15Rhinestones are phony.
01:06:19You can have real ones.
01:06:21Anytime you change your type.
01:06:24There's a hundred bucks extra in it for you
01:06:26if you get word to Benton that Kitty's recruiting you.
01:06:32I'm sorry.
01:06:34It's all right.
01:06:36It's all right.
01:06:38It's all right.
01:06:40It's all right.
01:06:42It's all right.
01:06:44It's all right.
01:06:46It's all right.
01:06:48It's all right.
01:06:50It's all right.
01:06:53It's all right.
01:06:59Merry Christmas, girls.
01:07:01Merry Christmas.
01:07:03Oh, how pretty.
01:07:05I, uh...
01:07:07I hope you'll all have a pleasant day tomorrow.
01:07:10Let's hope that many of you will be home this time next year.
01:07:15Now, tomorrow morning, there'll be Christmas services held here
01:07:18for any of you who might like to attend.
01:07:23Hey, baby.
01:07:35Oh, Ann.
01:07:37Where did the lipsticks come from?
01:07:39Elvira Powell.
01:07:41Oh, of course, by way of Harper.
01:07:45Girls.
01:07:47Girls, could I have your attention a minute, please?
01:07:50I didn't know what else to do for you for Christmas,
01:07:53but evidently someone thought of it for me.
01:07:56So from now on,
01:07:58all of you will be allowed to use lipstick.
01:08:01All of you will be allowed to use lipstick.
01:08:23Bird in a cage, oh
01:08:26Bird in a cage
01:08:29Waiting for dandelions
01:08:32To come back to me
01:08:35Roses are red, oh
01:08:38Violets are blue
01:08:41God in heaven
01:08:45Knows I love you
01:08:48I'm a young letter
01:08:51Writing today
01:08:54And tomorrow
01:08:58Send it away
01:09:01I'll be a letter
01:09:04Sending my mail
01:09:07And if I get it
01:09:10You'll ask me again
01:09:13Merry Christmas, Marie.
01:09:15Why aren't you singing?
01:09:18Give me one good reason why I should.
01:09:21Waiting for dandelions
01:09:23To come back to me
01:09:29I know this is a frame,
01:09:31and I've got a rough idea who's back in it.
01:09:34I know this is a frame, and I've got a rough idea who's back in it.
01:09:57I haven't been stretching muscles that haven't been stretched in 30 years.
01:10:01Even that soft job in the mail room poops me.
01:10:04Been a lady of leisure too long.
01:10:06What's new in the social set?
01:10:08Kitty Stark's still in solitary.
01:10:10I think she'll listen to reason now.
01:10:12Meaning what?
01:10:14She tried to play rough with me when I was taking her down to the hole.
01:10:17I didn't tell you to get tough with her.
01:10:20By the time I got through with her, she knew I meant business.
01:10:31Meow!
01:10:33Meow!
01:10:59Look what she's got.
01:11:04I found it outside the laundry.
01:11:06I'm gonna keep it.
01:11:08She must be a dopey cat to crawl in here.
01:11:10Boy or girl, I'm not taking any chances.
01:11:12I'm gonna call it Fluff.
01:11:14Hop will pitch a doozy if she finds it.
01:11:28I'll bring my milk from supper.
01:11:30Line up for count.
01:11:33Come on.

01:13:11Meow!
01:13:18Okay, where is it?
01:13:24You don't get no breakfast till you hand over that cat.
01:13:33You know it's against the rules to have any pets.
01:13:38Hand it over.

01:15:13All of you know this is one of the most serious offenses that can happen here.
01:15:20I'm taking away all privileges until further notice.
01:15:25Now I want to know who started all this.
01:15:30It's dead.
01:15:45She attacked me when I tried to take away the cat, then she tried to escape.
01:15:49Is this true?
01:15:53The first time you tried to escape, I gave you the benefit of the doubt.
01:15:56This time you have to be disciplined.
01:15:59I'm going to put you in solitary for three days.
01:16:02All I wanted was the kitten.
01:16:04Three days?
01:16:05Those are my orders.
01:16:15My room.
01:16:16No, Effie.
01:16:17No.
01:16:18Just like I said.
01:16:33If Benton never finds out...
01:16:35Shut up.
01:16:36No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:16:43no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:16:44no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:16:45no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:16:46no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:17:05no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
01:17:14no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:17:21Maria Allen, three days.
01:17:23I'm taking Kitty Stark back.
01:17:28You better have the doctor see her before Benton does.
01:17:46She looks at her bugs to me.
01:17:47I'll take her over to the infirmary.
01:17:48Nothing to be scared about, being alone isn't so tough, and bread and water never killed
01:18:05anyone.
01:18:06Maybe...
01:18:07Maybe I'll sleep for three days.
01:18:08Stop thinking about it.
01:18:09It'll grow back.
01:18:11Let me out of here!
01:18:12I'll do anything you want!
01:18:13Oh, God, let me out, let me out.
01:18:14Please, please, please.
01:18:15That's what you think.
01:18:16That's what you think.
01:18:17That's what you think.
01:18:18That's what you think.
01:18:19That's what you think.
01:18:20That's what you think.
01:18:21That's what you think.
01:18:22That's what you think.
01:18:23That's what you think.
01:18:24That's what you think.
01:18:25That's what you think.
01:18:26That's what you think.
01:18:27That's what you think.
01:18:28That's what you think.
01:18:29That's what you think.
01:18:30That's what you think.
01:18:31That's what you think.
01:18:32That's what you think.
01:18:33That's what you think.
01:18:34That's what you think.
01:18:35That's what you think.
01:18:36That's what you think.
01:18:37That's what you think.
01:18:38That's what you think.
01:18:42Don't leave.
01:18:43I want you to hear this.
01:18:45Send a wire to the commissioner.
01:18:48Demand that you immediately dismiss matron Evelyn Harper,
01:18:51inmate in serious condition of shock due to clipping of hair.
01:18:55Harper repeatedly ordered to discontinue these barbarous practices.
01:18:59Insubordination reflects on my position
01:19:01and the health and well-being of the inmates.
01:19:04I'd count ten before you sent that.
01:19:08I'll have a look.
01:19:09I'll have a look.
01:19:20Patent sure means business.
01:19:22Medford 5342.
01:19:25I can't afford to lose my job, Evy.
01:19:27I got debt.
01:19:28Shut up.
01:19:29Yes?
01:19:32I want to speak to Thornton Goodridge, please.
01:19:34Tell him Evelyn Harper.
01:19:35Yes, ma'am.
01:19:36We're sort of distant cousins, you know, Thornton and me.
01:19:40Good morning.
01:19:42Happy New Year, Thornton. How are you?
01:19:46Oh, just fine, thanks.
01:19:49I got something you ought to know.
01:19:53Oh, I couldn't tell you over the phone, but it's dynamite.
01:19:58It's dynamite.
01:20:05Those filthy lies.
01:20:07But at least it's nice to know we have the support of so many people.
01:20:10Three welfare leagues, a half a dozen women's clubs from all over the country.
01:20:14If they'd only get together and stick together, then maybe situations like this wouldn't arise.
01:20:18You can just bet the others have organization.
01:20:21And it won't stop there.
01:20:23What are you going to do?
01:20:25I'll know better after I talk to the commissioner.
01:20:27They're sitting outside looking so smug.
01:20:30Send them in.
01:20:37Good morning.
01:20:39Good morning, commissioner. Won't you sit down? I think there are ashtrays handy.
01:20:43The governor's madder than a turkey gobbler.
01:20:45Everyone's on my neck because of what you've done.
01:20:47Aren't you confused, commissioner? It wasn't I who gave those ridiculous stories to the papers.
01:20:51What's the idea of getting Harper's sorrow over nothing at all?
01:20:53I suppose a man would call the clipping of a girl's hair nothing at all.
01:20:56Well, you could have talked it over with her instead of flying off the handle.
01:20:59The commissioner means your predecessor never quarreled with the staff.
01:21:03My predecessor refused to regard criminals as human beings.
01:21:06I've tried to change that attitude. I intend to keep on trying.
01:21:10There is no place on my staff for matrons like Evelyn Harper.
01:21:14It's too bad all this had to happen before she was fired.
01:21:17Who said anything about firing her?
01:21:19Why fire a political appointee just because of a minor difference between you and her?
01:21:24Besides, firing her won't do us any good.
01:21:26It's this stink we've got to squelch.
01:21:28How do you intend doing that?
01:21:30I can get Harper to take back what she said.
01:21:32She can call it a mistake, admit that she was hot-headed.
01:21:34The directives, Sam.
01:21:36Well, I'm coming to that.
01:21:38At the same time, we'll announce that these directives are to be put into effect immediately.
01:21:42Directives?
01:21:44The commissioner has put it in the form of a memo to you.
01:21:47Inmates who have been honor women will no longer be put in subordinate positions on the staff.
01:21:52The proposed plan to allow occasional work outside the prison when merited by selected girls is denied.
01:21:57As well as the proposed plan for educational...
01:22:00You don't honestly think I'd consent to that?
01:22:02Why, I'd be betraying every man and woman working to free prisons from methods like yours.
01:22:07To insulate them from the abuses of politicians, cheap politicians.
01:22:11Have respect for my position, Mrs. Benton.
01:22:13I wouldn't allow the governor to speak to me like that.
01:22:16Oh, Fred, Mrs. Benton, let's not lose our tempers.
01:22:22Look, we came here with the best intentions in the world, hoping to get together with you, to let this thing all blow over.
01:22:27But you leave me with no alternative except to ask for your resignation.
01:22:30If he asks for my resignation, I'll demand a public hearing.
01:22:33No, no, no, see here, we can get together.
01:22:35We can if you tear up those directives and fire Evelyn Harper.
01:22:39That'll clear my name and allow me to do the work that must be done around here.
01:22:43He'll do nothing of the kind.
01:22:45I'll announce you've asked for my resignation and I'll demand a public hearing.
01:22:48The state allows me such a hearing and you know it.
01:22:51Let the public learn how this prison is run.
01:22:55Fire me, Commissioner. I insist on it.
01:22:58I want that public hearing.
01:23:01Marie Allen, back from the hospital.
01:24:01I want that public hearing.
01:24:31Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
01:24:34Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!
01:25:00Peggy Elkins.
01:25:02Naomi Bates.
01:25:04Honest, sometimes I wish that old lady of mine would stop writing me.
01:25:07I sure wish you could be out by Easter
01:25:10so you could see your kid brother graduate from high school.
01:25:14She must think I'm in a country club taking the rescue.
01:25:17I got news for her.
01:25:19My kid brother's gonna get graduated without me.
01:25:23Judas Priest.
01:25:25Mary O'Connor.
01:25:27Arlene Sidney.
01:25:29Evelyn Mason.
01:25:31Alma Jones.
01:25:34Mary Adams.
01:25:36Luanna Cohen.
01:25:38Gee, look how she looks.
01:25:40Guess she'd look that way too if you'd had a week in solitary.
01:25:42Yeah, and almost a month in pokey.
01:25:44Olga Jorgensen.
01:26:02I didn't know what kind of a heel Harper is.
01:26:06She's like a cup I was sweet on once.
01:26:08He used to work guys over for no reason at all,
01:26:10just because it made him feel important.
01:26:13If I'd known, I wouldn't have started on you.
01:26:18Quit shaking the tambourine.
01:26:21I'll be sprung soon.
01:26:23You'll run the cage again.
01:26:26If I can do anything for you, try to get your rep shortened.
01:26:31What did you say?
01:26:39Wagner, Rita.
01:26:40Devlin, Claire.
01:26:41Manali, Mita.
01:26:42Barbara.
01:26:43Cassidy, Katie.
01:26:44Miss Naomi.
01:26:47Don't be smart. Let's have the name.
01:26:52Star, Kitty.
01:26:54Taylor, Alice.
01:26:55Alvin, Marie.
01:26:56Mullen, Elaine.
01:27:02Okay, dummy.
01:27:03If you can't hold that cup, get back to the bullpen.
01:27:11Feed your faces and keep your traps shut
01:27:13if you don't want to get...
01:27:15Killer! Killer!
01:27:17Killer! Killer!
01:27:32Killer!
01:27:40Kindly omit flowers.
01:28:02Sunday.
01:28:04Nothing for me to do except think about the next ten years.
01:28:07Here today, here tomorrow.
01:28:10What's your rate?
01:28:12Oh, I keep thinking of Kitty sitting in the death house
01:28:15and I get the hit.
01:28:17Take it easy before you blow a tune.
01:28:19You got to hand it to Benton.
01:28:20Even with all her troubles,
01:28:21she tried to keep Kitty off the hot seat.
01:28:23Yeah, she kept telling Kitty was off her trolley.
01:28:25I don't know why.
01:28:27Boy, what's going on in Benton's office?
01:28:29There's six matrons spilling over
01:28:30and a bunch of girls from the other bullpens.
01:28:32What did you tell Benton?
01:28:33He shot the works.
01:28:34Helen wrote down every word.
01:28:35All about Harper, Chislin, the liquor and soap and things.
01:28:38What she did to Kitty.
01:28:39I sure gave him an earful.
01:28:41You know something?
01:28:42I think Benton might use me as a witness at the hearing.
01:28:44Maybe there are a few things I can tell her tomorrow, too.
01:28:46I got news for you.
01:28:47She talked to me like I was anybody else.
01:28:52I'm sorry.
01:28:55I bet your pack of weeds
01:28:56you'll still be pulling dead time next Christmas.
01:28:58Keep your big flapper shut.
01:29:00Clare's giving it to you straight.
01:29:02Ain't you paid the honest John too long?
01:29:04You could have made a swell booster.
01:29:06You still can get out of here.
01:29:14Ain't got much time.
01:29:16She's being sprung tomorrow.
01:29:18What do you want Powell to do?
01:29:20Send you an engraved invitation?
01:29:23These bird brains,
01:29:25giving you a spiel what to do out in Freeside,
01:29:27hand me a laugh.
01:29:29I got a file long as your arm.
01:29:31I was queen of the con women
01:29:32when Clare was wearing diapers.
01:29:34There's nothing I ain't done, including murder.
01:29:36Ah, stop tooting your horn.
01:29:38But that makes me the crookedest crook
01:29:40of any of you, don't it?
01:29:41Okay.
01:29:43Before you get any bright ideas,
01:29:46listen to me.
01:29:48I had a first time like you.
01:29:50But I can't remember how long ago.
01:29:52Then the second rap, then the third.
01:29:55Now I'm a lifer.
01:29:57I'll be 71 soon,
01:29:59then a con 40 years.
01:30:01And you know what I think?
01:30:03Nobody could cheat it but me.
01:30:0640 years taken away.
01:30:09So I'm giving it to you straight.
01:30:11Wait a year on dead time,
01:30:13but get a legit job slinging hash.
01:30:16Then get a good job in the bank.
01:30:18Slinging hash.
01:30:19Then get a good guy, have a kid.
01:30:23Yeah.
01:30:25What I give for a sink full of dirty dishes.
01:30:38That's all right.
01:30:39Thank you.
01:30:40Amateurs coming for lessons.
01:30:43Bullpen bees, 60 inmates,
01:30:45all types of offenders.
01:30:47Smells like a zoo.
01:30:48What's she in for?
01:30:51And men call us the weaker sex.
01:30:53Look at those faces.
01:30:54Environment, my dear, environment.
01:30:56They say the superintendent has a murderous talking point.
01:31:17Put my tears for evermore.
01:31:24Put my tears for evermore.
01:31:33See for sin could not atone.
01:31:41I'm afraid and now alone.
01:31:49In my hands no pride I bring.
01:31:57Simply to thy cross I cling.
01:32:07While I draw his bleeding breath.
01:32:18Did you make it?
01:32:19Yeah.
01:32:20Gee, she's getting out.
01:32:26Mamie, I'll press them for you.
01:32:35Marie Allen, check it out.
01:32:3693850.
01:32:38That's six cents a day for laundry work.
01:32:40Deduct ten days for having a baby,
01:32:42three days solitary,
01:32:43that's 502 days times six cents.
01:32:46You can cash this on your way out.
01:32:48Oh, wait a minute.
01:32:50Guess you want your wedding ring, don't you?
01:33:02This is for the haircut.
01:33:12Sit down, Marie.
01:33:25Now that you're leaving, let's not lie to each other.
01:33:29What do you mean?
01:33:30This cashier's job is just a blind.
01:33:33The parole officer okayed it, didn't she?
01:33:35Alvaro Powell has a lot of friends.
01:33:38In a couple of more months,
01:33:39the parole officer could have found you work.
01:33:41You would have made some honest money,
01:33:42have self-respect and decency.
01:33:44Where'd those things ever get me?
01:33:47Why do you give up now that you don't need to,
01:33:49when you're free?
01:33:50Free for what?
01:33:52Go to my baby,
01:33:53to sit down to a turkey dinner with a family,
01:33:55to kiss my husband?
01:34:02I, uh...
01:34:04I know it's difficult to start over again, but...
01:34:07From now on, what's in it for me is all that matters.
01:34:11You did your best, and where did it land you?
01:34:14You can't lick the system.
01:34:20If you've got nothing more to say...
01:34:22Well, if you ever need any help...
01:34:24Thanks, but I won't.
01:34:30I hope you win.
01:34:43For that 40 bucks Tom and I heisted,
01:34:46I got myself an education.
01:34:51Here's the address of the parole officer, Marie.
01:34:54Goodbye.
01:34:55So long.
01:35:00Prompt date?
01:35:019-3-8-5-0, coming out.
01:35:04That's right.
01:35:34Come on.
01:36:05What shall I do with her file?
01:36:09Keep it active.
01:36:11She'll be back.
