1:23:02
- l'm Tommy Gordon.
- What of it?
1:23:04
l'm the kid
that stabbed that man today.
1:23:06
What?
1:23:07
That's him, all right.
Wait, l'll call Mr. Griswald.
1:23:09
Now, you hold him here,
do you hear me?
1:23:11
Don't you tell me what to do.
1:23:12
He was breaking my arm.
That's why l did it.
1:23:14
He didn't know
what he was doing.
1:23:16
He won't do it again.
Let him go, please.
1:23:17
You can tell that to the judge, Miss.
1:23:19
He didn't mean to do it.
Let him go!
1:23:21
- Don't try that. Get away.
- That ain't gonna help.
1:23:23
He's right, Drina.
That's not gonna help.
1:23:25
Hey, Tommy,
when you go to reform school--
1:23:27
Get out of here, all of ya.
Go on, get out of here.
1:23:30
There he is, sir.
1:23:31
- So you caught him?
- Yes, sir.
1:23:33
He didn't catch him.
The kid gave himself up.
1:23:34
l'm his sister.
1:23:35
He gave himself up because
he thought it was the right thing to do.
1:23:38
- lt was.
- Then give him another chance.
1:23:40
Careful of that arm, please.
1:23:41
Oh, l'm sorry.
1:23:43
Please give him another chance.
1:23:45
Another chance to do what?
To kill somebody this time?
1:23:47
l won't ever do it again.
1:23:49
You was hurtin' my arm,
and l was seein' black.
1:23:51
l'm going to take him away from here.
He's a good boy. He's a smart boy.
1:23:54
Then there's no excuse
for him at all.
1:23:55
All right, he made a mistake.
He's sorry.
1:23:57
Yes, a mistake happened.
lt's deep and painful.
1:24:01
l know that.
l'm sorry about that.
1:24:03
Your being sorry won't help.
1:24:05
Will it help to send him
to reform school?
1:24:07
Maybe not, but at least it'll keep him
from doing it to somebody else.
1:24:10
l swear l'll never do it again.
1:24:11
He'll be better off
where they'll send him.
1:24:13
They'll at least take him from the gutter
and teach him a useful trade.
1:24:16
What do you know about it?
1:24:18
Teach him a useful trade, will it?
1:24:19
The man that was killed today
1:24:20
came from this street
and from that reform school.
1:24:23
Taught him a useful trade,
didn't it?
1:24:24
lt'll teach this kid one, too.
1:24:26
That will be up to him.
There is nothing else l can do.
1:24:30
Didn't you ever do
anything you were sorry for?
1:24:32
Didn't anyone ever
forgive you for anything?
1:24:35
Don't you know what it means
for people like us to be in trouble?
1:24:38
l'm awfully sorry, believe me.
1:24:41
l'm not punishing him for hurting me.
That's done.
1:24:44
But today, for no reason at all,
he beat up my boy and stole his watch.
1:24:47
There are other boys like mine.
1:24:49
They've got to be protected, too.
1:24:53
All right, officer.
1:24:55
All right, let's go.
1:24:57
Hey, Tommy,
look up a guy named Smokey.
1:24:58
Get away from here
or l'll bounce one off your head.
