1:09:00
I'd do anything for him, Laury...
1:09:03
...anything in the world to help him.
1:09:05
I'd give my life if I thought
it would do any good...
1:09:08
...but it wouldn't.
1:09:10
You see, Laury,
there's all those other kids...
1:09:12
...hundreds of them, in the streets
and bad environment...
1:09:17
...whom I don't want to see
grow up like Rocky did.
1:09:20
I can't sacrifice them for Rocky.
1:09:24
You see, Laury, they have lives too.
1:09:27
I can't throw them away.
1:09:30
I can't.
1:09:46
And the very fact that countless thousands
of you are listening in tonight...
1:09:50
...is proof to fling in the teeth
of these cynics and skeptics...
1:09:53
...that the public does care
and does propose to do something...
1:09:56
...about the appalling conditions
I have tried to describe tonight.
1:09:59
And do not doubt that our efforts so far
have not struck fear and panic...
1:10:02
...into the cesspool of official
and near-official corruption.
1:10:05
Yeah, I'm shaking like a leaf.
1:10:08
"This very afternoon, I was approached
with a sugarcoated proposition...
1:10:11
...a bribe offered me
by this corrupt officialdom.
1:10:14
$ 100,000 for the building and equipment
of a recreation center in my parish...
1:10:18
...if I would agree to refrain
from further attacks...
1:10:21
...if I would sabotage this campaign...
1:10:24
...if I would shut my eyes, stop my ears
and hold my tongue.
1:10:28
But the building of an isolated playground
to shield my boys from crime...
1:10:31
...is not rooting out the crime itself.
1:10:33
We must rid ourselves
of the criminal parasites that feed on us.
1:10:37
We must wipe out those
we have ignorantly elected...
1:10:39
...and those who manipulate this
diseased officialdom behind locked doors.
1:10:43
Tonight, we have in our power
to ask definitely...
1:10:46
...incriminating questions
of these officials.
1:10:49
And the power to demand
satisfactory answers.
1:10:52
What really is the truth in the case of
the racketeer and gunman Rocky Sullivan?
1:10:57
Why did the police release him so suddenly
with all the evidence they had against him?
