:14:01
- What's the matter with your leg?
- Oh, it's all right, I just sprained it a little.
:14:05
Here, here. Sit down.
:14:10
- Yes, Mr. Cheyne?
- Ask Dr. Walsh to come in.
:14:13
Oh, I don't need a doctor, Father.
:14:15
- What's all this? Tar?
- It's ink from the printing press.
:14:17
A little of it got on me. I left school.
:14:20
Dick, I wish you'd see
if this boy of mine is all right.
:14:22
- Well, well, son. Been in a fight?
- I fell down trying to escape.
:14:26
Take a look at that right leg.
:14:28
- What do you mean trying to escape?
- It doesn't hurt now.
:14:32
- Can you walk on it?
- Yes, sir.
:14:35
It was just a lingament or something.
:14:38
I think you'll pull through.
:14:39
- What happened to him?
- I'm trying to find out.
:14:41
Why do you say you escaped, Harvey?
:14:43
Because they had me prisoner
at the school. Nobody could talk to me.
:14:46
- I guess they were scared I would talk.
- Who was scared?
:14:48
That old Tyler and all of them.
:14:50
- Who's old Tyler?
- He's a master.
:14:52
He kept me out of the Buffaloes
and took a bribe.
:14:54
- What bribe?
- I gave him $50 at Christmas...
:14:56
to make the history exam easier.
:14:57
And yesterday
I found out he wasn't a friend of mine.
:15:00
- He fixed it so as I couldn't tell anyone.
- Let me get this straight, Son.
:15:03
Do you mean to say
that a teacher let you give him $50?
:15:04
- Yes.
- And then locked you up...
:15:06
because you threatened to tell about it?
:15:07
Yes, in the basement.
I had to fight my way out.
:15:09
- Good heavens, what school is this?
- Green Hill, Connecticut.
:15:12
- Does Dr. Finley know about this?
- Sure he does.
:15:14
He's trying to keep it quiet, too.
:15:15
He's scared
because you gave so much to the school.
:15:18
It's very important that Dr. Finley
be at my house this evening.
:15:21
- I also want to see that teacher, Tyler.
- Yes, sir.
:15:23
Maybe you oughtn't have anything at all
to do with them, Father.
:15:26
You just let me handle this, Son.
:15:27
I bet they make up
some awful lies about it.
:15:30
I must point out the extraordinary sums
of money that he's had at his disposal.
:15:34
Very large sums for a small boy.
:15:36
Well, the boy was confused...
:15:38
bewildered, almost terrified
when he came into my office.
:15:41
Your mere assertion that I give him
overlarge sums of spending money...
:15:44
in no way seems to justify
the severe treatment...
:15:46
to which he's obviously been subjected.
:15:48
Mr. Cheyne, Harvey's "severe treatment"
came from no member of the faculty.
:15:52
I've told you of his attempt to bribe
Mr. Tyler. Here's the $50, by the way.
:15:56
Behind that lies a long list of infractions...
:15:58
based on his attitude
that he's a special, privileged character.
