09:01.000 --> 09:02.000 I don't think so. 09:02.000 --> 09:03.000 Well, we can try a switch if you want to. 09:03.000 --> 09:04.000 Tell him I'm Sid Hughes. 09:04.000 --> 09:05.000 That'd be better, Joe. 09:05.000 --> 09:07.000 You got some idea what to do in there. 09:07.000 --> 09:08.000 I'm not sure I could swing it. 09:08.000 --> 09:09.000 All right. 09:09.000 --> 09:10.000 I told him I'd shove one of my cards 09:10.000 --> 09:12.000 from the newspaper under the door. 09:12.000 --> 09:13.000 That way he'd know it was me. 09:13.000 --> 09:14.000 All right. 09:14.000 --> 09:16.000 Now, after you're inside, I'll try and get in touch 09:16.000 --> 09:18.000 with Casey and see what he's been able to come up with 09:18.000 --> 09:19.000 on Padachek. 09:19.000 --> 09:20.000 Good. 09:20.000 --> 09:22.000 Oh, you better leave your gun here. 09:22.000 --> 09:24.000 I told him I'd come unarmed. 09:24.000 --> 09:25.000 All right. 09:25.000 --> 09:26.000 You think it's a good idea to go in there 09:26.000 --> 09:27.000 without a gun, Joe? 09:27.000 --> 09:28.000 Well, we haven't got much to say about it. 09:28.000 --> 09:30.000 The big thing right now is to try to get him out alive. 09:30.000 --> 09:31.000 Yeah, I guess you're right. 09:31.000 --> 09:33.000 Okay, you want to hang on to this for me? 09:33.000 --> 09:35.000 Right. 09:35.000 --> 09:44.000 All right, let's give it a try. 09:44.000 --> 09:45.000 Who is it? 09:45.000 --> 09:46.000 It's Sid Hughes, Padachek. 09:46.000 --> 09:47.000 I told you I'd be out here. 09:47.000 --> 09:48.000 You want to let me in? 09:48.000 --> 09:49.000 What about the card? 09:49.000 --> 09:56.000 All right, here it is under the door. 09:56.000 --> 09:57.000 How about it? 09:57.000 --> 10:00.000 Padachek? 10:00.000 --> 10:01.000 I only took the card, man. 10:01.000 --> 10:02.000 I don't know. 10:02.000 --> 10:03.000 I hope this thing works out. 10:03.000 --> 10:05.000 You're going to try to get in touch with your office, aren't you, Sid, 10:05.000 --> 10:06.000 and see what you can get on him? 10:06.000 --> 10:09.000 Might help. 10:09.000 --> 10:11.000 Come on, Padachek, let me in. 10:11.000 --> 10:12.000 The police are there. 10:12.000 --> 10:13.000 I'm not going to let them in. 10:13.000 --> 10:14.000 They aren't going to bother you? 10:14.000 --> 10:15.000 Tell them to go away. 10:15.000 --> 10:16.000 Tell them to get off the porch. 10:16.000 --> 10:19.000 All right, Frank, you better get the other officers 10:19.000 --> 10:20.000 to clear the place out. 10:20.000 --> 10:21.000 Right. 10:21.000 --> 10:25.000 All right, the police are gone now. 10:25.000 --> 10:26.000 You want to let me in? 10:26.000 --> 10:27.000 Will you bring my mail in for me? 10:27.000 --> 10:28.000 What's that? 10:28.000 --> 10:29.000 My mail. 10:29.000 --> 10:30.000 It's in the box, right on the side of the porch. 10:30.000 --> 10:31.000 In the box. 10:31.000 --> 10:32.000 All right, I'll get it. 10:32.000 --> 10:41.000 All right, now let me in, huh? 10:41.000 --> 10:46.000 Come on. 10:46.000 --> 10:48.000 I'll stand right there. 10:48.000 --> 10:49.000 You don't need that gun. 10:49.000 --> 10:50.000 I'm not going to cause you any trouble. 10:50.000 --> 10:51.000 Turn around. 10:51.000 --> 10:52.000 I told you I was coming unarmed. 10:52.000 --> 10:53.000 Turn around. 10:53.000 --> 10:54.000 We'll see. 10:54.000 --> 10:59.000 All right, let's go upstairs. 10:59.000 --> 11:01.000 All right. 11:01.000 --> 11:02.000 Just a minute. 11:07.000 --> 11:08.000 Okay, let's go. 11:12.000 --> 11:14.000 Why don't you put the gun down? You're not going to need that. 11:14.000 --> 11:15.000 I feel better with it. 11:19.000 --> 11:20.000 Mind if I take off my raincoat? 11:20.000 --> 11:22.000 No, go ahead. Make yourself comfortable. 11:29.000 --> 11:30.000 Here's your mail. 11:30.000 --> 11:31.000 Thanks. 11:32.000 --> 11:33.000 Aren't you going to open it up? 11:33.000 --> 11:35.000 No reason to. There's nothing important. 11:35.000 --> 11:36.000 You can't tell? There might be. 11:36.000 --> 11:38.000 There isn't. I know that. 11:40.000 --> 11:41.000 You want a cigarette? 11:41.000 --> 11:42.000 No, no. But you go ahead. 11:43.000 --> 11:45.000 Here, have one of these. I want to be able to see your hands. 11:55.000 --> 11:56.000 What's this all about? 11:57.000 --> 11:58.000 There's no other way. 11:58.000 --> 11:59.000 What do you mean? 11:59.000 --> 12:01.000 All night I've been thinking about it since I got home. 12:01.000 --> 12:03.000 There's nothing for me anymore. 12:03.000 --> 12:06.000 I'm not going to prison. If they think they're going to take me, then they're wrong. 12:06.000 --> 12:07.000 Well, who says you're going to prison? 12:07.000 --> 12:09.000 The authorities. They said I have to go to jail for 90 days. 12:09.000 --> 12:12.000 I know how they plan it. They tell me 90 days and then they'll keep me there for more. 12:12.000 --> 12:14.000 Well, I'm not going back to prison. 12:14.000 --> 12:15.000 You ever been in jail before? 12:15.000 --> 12:16.000 Yes, five years. 12:16.000 --> 12:17.000 What for? 12:17.000 --> 12:20.000 For nothing. Five years because I didn't agree with what they were doing. 12:21.000 --> 12:23.000 I'm not going back. I'm not going. I'll kill myself first. 12:23.000 --> 12:24.000 All right, take it easy. 12:24.000 --> 12:26.000 You want to start from the beginning and tell me what happened? 12:26.000 --> 12:29.000 I said I forged a man's name to a check. 12:29.000 --> 12:30.000 Did you? 12:30.000 --> 12:32.000 Yes, but you've got to understand I didn't have any money. 12:32.000 --> 12:34.000 They're going to take my car away from me. 12:34.000 --> 12:36.000 I'm behind on my rent here. I owe money. 12:36.000 --> 12:38.000 All my creditors were hounding me. 12:38.000 --> 12:42.000 I thought if I could just get a little money to pay the bills and I could pay it back when I got a job. 12:42.000 --> 12:45.000 I was going to pay it back. All of it. I really was. 12:45.000 --> 12:46.000 How much was the check? 12:46.000 --> 12:47.000 $250. 12:47.000 --> 12:48.000 Whose name did you sign to it? 12:48.000 --> 12:51.000 A man I know. I got a check and signed his name. He has the money. 12:51.000 --> 12:54.000 I was going to pay him back. I have a job coming up. 12:54.000 --> 12:57.000 As soon as I got paid, I was going to put the money back. 12:57.000 --> 13:00.000 I didn't mean any harm. I knew what was wrong, but it was the only thing I could think of. 13:00.000 --> 13:02.000 They were hounding me. 13:02.000 --> 13:04.000 What about that car? Couldn't you sell it? 13:04.000 --> 13:07.000 I suppose so, but then if I did, I wouldn't be able to get to my job. 13:07.000 --> 13:10.000 I needed my car for that. I had to keep the machine. 13:10.000 --> 13:13.000 Well, you'll have a trial. If you tell them what happened, they'll probably understand. 13:13.000 --> 13:14.000 The court will make an allowance. 13:14.000 --> 13:18.000 I've had a trial. I told them I was guilty, that I did forge a check. 13:18.000 --> 13:20.000 They told me I had to go to jail. 13:20.000 --> 13:22.000 You said you'd been in prison before. 13:22.000 --> 13:25.000 Yes. Five years, and I escaped. 13:25.000 --> 13:26.000 Where was that? 13:26.000 --> 13:30.000 In Czechoslovakia. They put me in prison because I wouldn't do what they told me. 13:30.000 --> 13:33.000 They killed my father and my mother, and then they put me in prison. 13:33.000 --> 13:35.000 I know what it's like. I'm not going back. 13:35.000 --> 13:37.000 Well, the prisons here aren't concentration camps. You know that. 13:37.000 --> 13:40.000 That's what you say. I know different. I've lived in them. 13:40.000 --> 13:43.000 You see here? You see these four teeth in front? 13:43.000 --> 13:44.000 Yes, I see them. 13:44.000 --> 13:45.000 Well, they're false. 13:45.000 --> 13:46.000 Is that right? 13:46.000 --> 13:49.000 I lost the teeth when I was kicked by a guard. You know why I was kicked? 13:49.000 --> 13:50.000 You know why he did it? 13:50.000 --> 13:51.000 No. 13:51.000 --> 13:53.000 Because my clothes were torn. That's the reason he kicked me. 13:53.000 --> 13:55.000 I tore my clothes so he knocked my four front teeth out. 13:55.000 --> 13:57.000 That's all over now, isn't it? Things like that don't happen here. 13:57.000 --> 14:00.000 Well, maybe not out in front of people, but they happen in the prisons. 14:00.000 --> 14:05.000 I'm not going to have it happen to me again. There were 800 of us, all arrested at the same time. 14:05.000 --> 14:06.000 800, Mr. Hughes. 14:06.000 --> 14:07.000 Yeah. 14:07.000 --> 14:09.000 800 men, people I knew. 14:09.000 --> 14:12.000 800 human beings with homes and families. 14:12.000 --> 14:16.000 And I'm the only one alive now. All the rest were killed. 14:16.000 --> 14:18.000 All taken to Buchenwald and run through the showers. 14:18.000 --> 14:21.000 Now, don't tell me about prisons, Mr. Hughes. I know I've lived in them. 14:25.000 --> 14:26.000 Tell me something. 14:26.000 --> 14:27.000 Yes. 14:27.000 --> 14:29.000 You remember the name of the judge who sentenced you here on the forgery charge? 14:29.000 --> 14:30.000 Yes. 14:30.000 --> 14:31.000 Well, let me call him. Let me get him over here and talk this thing over. 14:31.000 --> 14:34.000 We can work something out. There's no reason for you to do a thing like you're planning here. 14:34.000 --> 14:35.000 It's not that important. 14:35.000 --> 14:36.000 Maybe not to you. 14:36.000 --> 14:37.000 It isn't to anybody. 14:37.000 --> 14:39.000 We can work something out here. Let me call the judge. 14:39.000 --> 14:41.000 No, sit down, Mr. Hughes. 14:42.000 --> 14:46.000 Look, I'm not a stupid man. I have degrees from three universities. I speak four languages. 14:46.000 --> 14:51.000 I spent five years jumping every time a guard looked at me. Five years wishing they'd kill me. 14:51.000 --> 14:55.000 Five years wishing I could live in hell because it would be much better than the way things were. 14:55.000 --> 14:57.000 Now they think they're going to send me back. They're not. 14:57.000 --> 15:00.000 You understand that, don't you, Mr. Hughes? Don't you? 15:00.000 --> 15:02.000 Yeah, I think I understand it. 15:06.000 --> 15:09.000 Look, you said yourself that you thought about it all night. 15:09.000 --> 15:12.000 Now, isn't it possible that you're making this thing more important than it really is? 15:12.000 --> 15:13.000 No. 15:13.000 --> 15:15.000 I came in here to help you. 15:15.000 --> 15:17.000 I want you to help yourself. 15:17.000 --> 15:19.000 Get your hands off me, Mr. Hughes. Now, get over there. 15:21.000 --> 15:24.000 Look, I don't know how to tell you, Patek. I don't know how to make you believe me, but none of us want to hurt you. 15:24.000 --> 15:27.000 We want you to be happy here. That's one of the reasons you came to this country, isn't it? 15:27.000 --> 15:30.000 Yes, I read the books about freedom. That's why I came here. 15:30.000 --> 15:35.000 Now they're trying to take that freedom away from me. Before I even have it, they're trying to take it away from me. 15:35.000 --> 15:38.000 I forged a check. I admitted it. I told them I did it. 15:38.000 --> 15:42.000 But I told them I'd pay the money back. That didn't seem to make any difference. 15:42.000 --> 15:44.000 They still said I had to go to jail. 15:44.000 --> 15:48.000 Well, you said yourself that you were put in prison for not agreeing with the authorities, isn't that what you said? 15:48.000 --> 15:49.000 Yes, that's what I said. 15:49.000 --> 15:51.000 Well, they don't do that in this country. You know that. 15:51.000 --> 15:54.000 Everybody's entitled to his own opinion and live his own life. 15:54.000 --> 15:58.000 We've got laws, laws that are written by the people to protect the people. You understand that, don't you? 15:58.000 --> 15:59.000 The people themselves write the law. 15:59.000 --> 16:01.000 Yes, yes, I understand that. 16:01.000 --> 16:05.000 Well, you don't break a law just a little bit. Either you keep it or you don't. Do you understand that? 16:05.000 --> 16:06.000 Yes. 16:06.000 --> 16:08.000 Well, you broke the law, didn't you? Isn't that right? 16:08.000 --> 16:10.000 I told you I did. I broke the law. 16:10.000 --> 16:14.000 All right, now listen, after you've broken the law, you can't make it right by saying you'll pay the money back. 16:14.000 --> 16:18.000 But the fact that you do want to rectify your mistake will certainly be taken into consideration by anybody in authority. 16:18.000 --> 16:20.000 You understand that? 16:20.000 --> 16:24.000 I don't know. I try to think. 16:24.000 --> 16:28.000 I've thought about it over and over. I can't come to any answer. 16:28.000 --> 16:30.000 Where are you going? 16:30.000 --> 16:32.000 I've got to take something for this headache. 16:32.000 --> 16:34.000 I've got a bad headache. 16:38.000 --> 16:39.000 What's this here? 16:39.000 --> 16:40.000 What? 16:40.000 --> 16:42.000 This note here on the bureau. 16:42.000 --> 16:45.000 That's what I wrote to tell why I did it so they'd know. 16:46.000 --> 16:52.000 Nobody understands what has happened to me. I cannot accept a jail term. All I want is to find peace and freedom. 16:52.000 --> 16:58.000 I guess this is the only way to do that. I'm sorry to cause anybody any trouble. Please take care of my dogs. 16:58.000 --> 16:59.000 Patecek? 16:59.000 --> 17:00.000 Yes? 17:00.000 --> 17:02.000 You know this is all wrong, don't you? 17:02.000 --> 17:05.000 I don't know. I wish I did, but I don't know. 17:05.000 --> 17:07.000 Well, we're not going to need this. There's going to be no reason for it. 17:07.000 --> 17:08.000 What are you doing? 17:08.000 --> 17:10.000 Get away from me. Leave my things alone. 17:11.000 --> 17:13.000 Like all the rest, you don't understand either. 17:14.000 --> 17:16.000 You better get out of here.

They tried to make it easier because they felt sorry for me. 22:16.400 --> 22:19.400 They thought I didn't know, but I did all the time. I knew. 22:19.400 --> 22:24.000 Well, some of the things that they wrote on the pictures doesn't make it look like that. Some of them are pretty nice. 22:24.000 --> 22:25.800 They didn't mean them. 22:25.800 --> 22:26.600 You really believe that? 22:26.600 --> 22:28.800 I don't have any other choice. 22:28.800 --> 22:31.600 How long has it been since you did believe in anything? 22:31.600 --> 22:32.200 Long time. 22:32.200 --> 22:32.800 How long? 22:32.800 --> 22:33.800 I guess since my mother died. 22:33.800 --> 22:34.400 When was that? 22:34.400 --> 22:39.200 At the beginning of the war. Right after the conference. They came one night. They took her and my father. 22:39.200 --> 22:41.800 Took them both. I never saw them again. 22:41.800 --> 22:45.600 I heard what happened. I guess that's the time I stopped believing in anything. 22:45.600 --> 22:47.000 How'd you happen to come over to this country? 22:47.000 --> 22:54.600 After I escaped, I went to England for five years. I worked with the Czech forces there. Then when the war was over, I got permission to come here. 22:54.600 --> 22:57.800 I think you said before that you came over here because you wanted the freedom. Isn't that right? 22:57.800 --> 22:58.600 Yes. 22:58.600 --> 22:59.500 You found it, didn't you? 22:59.500 --> 22:59.900 I guess so. 22:59.900 --> 23:01.300 Anyone ever try to tell you where you could go? 23:01.300 --> 23:01.600 No. 23:01.600 --> 23:02.400 What church to go to? 23:02.400 --> 23:02.800 No. 23:02.800 --> 23:03.800 You can say what you think, can't you? 23:03.800 --> 23:06.000 Yes. 23:06.000 --> 23:07.500 Why do you want to do this thing? 23:07.500 --> 23:14.300 I try to tell you I know about prisons. I know what goes on behind the doors. I lived there. I lived and died in them. 23:14.300 --> 23:15.100 You ever been in one? 23:15.100 --> 23:15.500 Yes. 23:15.500 --> 23:16.000 As a prisoner? 23:16.000 --> 23:17.100 No, not as a prisoner. 23:17.100 --> 23:21.300 Well, that's just it. Maybe they got you fooled too. 23:21.300 --> 23:25.700 I remember when the people from the relief organizations would come along. The guard would take us out in the court of the prison. 23:25.700 --> 23:29.400 They'd make us stand there and tell the people how good they were to us. 23:29.400 --> 23:32.400 If we didn't say it that way, then they'd take us back and beat us to death. 23:32.400 --> 23:36.900 I know what goes on behind the doors. I know because I saw it. I lived it. 23:36.900 --> 23:39.400 Now don't tell me what happens. 23:39.400 --> 23:43.900 Now you and your law come along and tell me that you're going to send me back. 23:43.900 --> 23:49.000 What about them? Who's going to take care of the dogs? Isn't that the reason that you're here? Not the reason you came home? Who's going to take care of them? 23:49.000 --> 23:50.200 I don't know. Somebody will. 23:50.200 --> 23:51.300 They're going to miss you. 23:51.300 --> 23:52.700 They'll miss me feeding them, that's all. 23:52.700 --> 23:54.500 You know better than me. 23:54.500 --> 23:58.300 Martha, Eric, be quiet. 23:58.300 --> 23:59.500 They only seem to mind, don't they? 23:59.500 --> 24:00.700 They're well trained. 24:00.700 --> 24:01.600 You ever shown them? 24:01.600 --> 24:02.800 No. 24:02.800 --> 24:06.500 They have a lot of good dog shows around here. You ought to show them. They probably do real good. 24:06.500 --> 24:09.000 Do they have dog shows in prison? 24:09.000 --> 24:13.000 I don't know how to tell you. I don't know how to make you believe me. If you just let me get that judge over here, let him talk to you. 24:13.000 --> 24:16.100 Maybe he can make you believe that it's not going to be like it was in your country. 24:16.100 --> 24:19.400 You'll be well fed. You'll get decent clothes. Nobody's going to beat you. We don't do things like that here. 24:19.400 --> 24:20.600 We're not going to prison. 24:20.600 --> 24:25.900 Just let me get that judge over here. Now let me call him on the phone. He can be here in just a few minutes. He'll tell you. He can do something. 24:25.900 --> 24:28.400 There's no reason why we can't work this thing out. Now let me try to help you, please. 24:28.400 --> 24:33.300 I want to believe you, Mr. Friday. I really do, but it's hard to believe in anything. 24:33.300 --> 24:35.000 I'll just ask you one thing. 24:35.000 --> 24:36.200 Trust me. 24:36.200 --> 24:40.300 I've never seen you before. I don't know you outside of this room, but I ask you to believe me. 24:40.300 --> 24:42.800 I promise you. I give you my word that I won't let anything happen to you. 24:42.800 --> 24:44.300 I don't know. I don't know. 24:44.300 --> 24:48.500 Let me have that gun. Let me take it. Then we can work things out. 24:48.500 --> 24:51.000 Do you think we can do it? I think we can. 24:51.000 --> 24:52.600 John? 24:52.600 --> 24:54.000 John, let me in. I want to see you. 24:54.000 --> 24:55.800 Get here now to take me. 24:55.800 --> 24:57.800 You won't let him do it, will you? Please don't let him take me. 24:57.800 --> 24:59.800 Don't worry. 24:59.800 --> 25:02.600 All right, you down there. Get away from that door. 25:02.600 --> 25:03.300 All right, come on, Jan. 25:03.300 --> 25:07.800 I'll go crazy if they put me in prison again. I know I will. I don't want to go back. 25:07.800 --> 25:09.100 Jan, come on. Give me the gun, will you? 25:09.100 --> 25:12.100 I won't go back. If I go this time, it'll be for good. 25:12.100 --> 25:14.800 Now if they take me this time, they'll kill me for what I did. I know they will. 25:14.800 --> 25:17.000 No, they won't, Jan. Now please give me that gun. 25:17.000 --> 25:18.500 Let me in! 25:18.500 --> 25:20.200 Get away from that door and stay away, will you? 25:20.200 --> 25:21.500 They're going to break in. 25:21.500 --> 25:23.700 Quick, we've got to hide. If they find us, they'll kill us both. 25:23.700 --> 25:25.600 Come on, Jan, believe me. I won't let anybody hurt you. I promise. 25:25.600 --> 25:26.600 I'll give you my word.

I'm doing the best I can. 25:59.500 --> 26:01.700 Well, who is he? 26:01.700 --> 26:02.800 Now just stand still, you. 26:02.800 --> 26:03.300 All right. 26:03.300 --> 26:04.900 We did all we could, Joe.

That's just what you get. 26:12.500 --> 26:15.000 You want to tell me something? What were you doing pounding on that door? 26:15.000 --> 26:16.900 Patecek owed me money. I heard he was going to jail. 26:16.900 --> 26:19.400 I wanted to get it before he left. I had a right to be here. 26:19.400 --> 26:21.300 If you'd tipped your nose out of this, I'd have gotten it straight now. 26:21.300 --> 26:23.100 Sure you would have. Patecek's dead. 26:23.100 --> 26:24.700 I know that.
