MAN 1: This hearing will come to order. (GAVEL POUNDS) MAN 1: The witness will please state her full name. Emily Crane. And where do you reside, Miss Crane? New York City. Would you mind speaking into the microphone? Excuse me. New York City. And where are you employed, Miss Crane? I'm an assistant picture editor at Life magazine. Miss Crane, are you a member of the board of an organization called Liberty Watch? Yes. Does the subpoena you received direct you to bring with you here all books, ledgers, records, and papers relating to that organization? Yes, it does. Did you bring them? I have a statement here I would like to read... Please answer the question. Well, I think all your questions will be answered... We will consider your statement in due time, Miss Crane. "We are an organization "devoted to the cause of civil liberties..." We know about your... "We make no political..." Miss Crane! Miss Crane! We know about your organization. That is why you are here. EMILY: "We have no religious qualifications..." (CHUCKLES) MAN 2: Do you deny the committee... (EMILY CONTINUES) Do you deny... Miss Crane! Do you deny the committee the materials requested in your subpoena? In our files are the names of people we've helped and people who have helped us. I will not be a part of getting them... A great publication, Life magazine. You agree? Yes. A circulation of millions, each week a picture view of world events, and you select those pictures, Miss Crane. I'm impressed. I don't decide what goes in the magazine. But you can suggest. What the witness does at Life magazine is irrelevant. I fail to see how any of this relates. Do you recognize these petitions... The Stockholm peace petition, world disarmament, ban the bomb? Your signature on all of them. These are your signatures? Mr. Chairman, none of this is relevant to the line of inquiry. MAN 2: You got others to sign them, didn't you? Did they know what they were signing? I never lied to anyone! How did you persuade them, a beautiful woman such as yourself? I object to this line of questioning! These questions are hardly germane. The witness is in a position to distort information received by millions of Americans. That's ridiculous! MAN 2: She's refused to surrender her files to this committee as ordered in her subpoena. You know we have a legal right to those records. You want to smear people. Then you withhold materials requested in your subpoena. I will not give you their names. A citation is called for. CHAIRMAN: I don't want to do this, Miss Crane, but you don't leave us much choice. The law is very clear. You won't reconsider? I'm truly sorry. I move we cite this witness as being in contempt of Congress and take steps to bring this to the Senate floor. All in favor. Motion carried. This hearing is adjourned. Everybody, please. ♪ Happy birthday to you Senator Byington. ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ Happy birthday, Senator Byington ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪ Larry, Danny, get some shots of the family. (APPLAUSE) Here she comes. HACKETT: They call this spring, and I'm freezin' to death. COCHRAN: It doesn't feel cold to me. HACKETT: That's because where you come from, 20 below is a heat wave. COCHRAN: Where I come from, people aren't colder than the weather. It's a dry cold. It doesn't feel the same. HACKETT: So your nose drops off. I'm puttin' on the heat. That'll look suspicious, motor running, not moving. What are they gonna do, call the cops? These are for you. Payday. Oh, thanks, Tommy. EMILY: It's four times what I make, Warren. Think of it as a bonus. It's not a bonus, is it? You weren't supposed to get that before you were told. So tell me now. It wasn't my decision. We're reorganizing your department, cutting back. You know how they get upstairs... Warren, we've always been honest with each other. They can't afford to offend public opinion. They make public opinion. Why the hell couldn't you cooperate? Your God-damn testimony. What's the big deal? Don't you know the climate? You had a future here. Thanks for the truth. If you quote me, I'll deny it. Miss Crane, Special Agent Cochran, Federal Bureau of Investigation. We'd like to talk to you, please. I have nothing to say. Legs are still holdin' up. Oh, excuse me. Excuse me. Could you tell me where this street is, please? Oh, it's same like this street. You know? Like this. Parallel? Yes, parallel. You go around corner, on the left, first street. Thank you. (DOORBELL RINGING) WOMAN: Yes? Good afternoon. EMILY: I've come about the ad. You're too early. The ad said 3:00. Please? All right. Thank you. Well, at least you've got spunk, coming early. You're not afraid of being turned away. I need the job. Well, come along. Read this to me. "But there was no one there, "no one to see the slight, small girl just turned 19, "whose hair was blacker "than the wing feathers of a rain crow, "and whose eyes, oddly, were the exact color "of the evening sky come harvest time." That will be enough. I think you'll do. Your voice has a certain cultivation. Have you been to college? Yes. Graduated? Yes. Cum laude. My eyes have begun to fail. I require someone to read to me. How I feel decides your hours. The salary's $50 a week. That's not very much. The door is right behind you. You will also be fed. "I'll take nothing with me except a few clothes. "I'm leaving you everything, "even the child you've taught to hate me. "Lynn doesn't... Court began, "but the door flew open, and Lynn came into the room. "'Let her go, Daddy,' she cried, "'I do hate her. I do! I do!'" (PIANO PLAYING SIMPLE EXERCISE) MAN: Approximately two weeks. (MAN SPEAKING IN GERMAN) MAN: Under no circumstances does he go outside. (MAN SCREAMING IN GERMAN) (ARGUING IN GERMAN CONTINUES) Dr. Teperson said it's too dangerous. He has been here long enough. (MAN SCREAMING IN GERMAN) (MAN SPEAKING IN GERMAN) MAN: He wishes to know about his assistants. MAN: Tell Dr. Teperson they're coming. (MAN SPEAKING IN GERMAN) Rome wasn't built in a day. Tell him what I said. (MAN SPEAKING IN GERMAN) The assistants will be here. (SPEAKING IN GERMAN) I guarantee it. I guarantee it. There's a little problem getting them out. (SPEAKING IN GERMAN) (SPEAKING GERMAN) All fixed now. (SPEAKING IN GERMAN) Very good? You didn't tell me about this group. A favor for important people. I certified they were genuine refugees. 100% genuine, from the old country. What are they, rocket scientists? There's none left. These are doctors. What kind? Research. That's all. What kind of research? Where? I know what you're worried about. Rest assured. These are only technicians. Meaning? Test tubes, blood samples. Think I didn't make sure? These men are clean. Then why the secrecy? Why the false names? They're technicians in an area vital to national security, simple as that. I've trusted you, Ray. Would I abuse that trust? There's nothing here that'll harm your reputation. We're not talking about my reputation. We're talking about a presidential hopeful the country's taken to its heart. You have a noble ambition, Senator. That's why I'm helping you reach the pinnacle. This other thing is of small importance. But if these men are war criminals... They're not. I assure you of that. Hello. We met the other day. Remember? I asked you for an address. Parallel. Oh, yes. (CHUCKLES) I found the house. Thank you. Do you live in the neighborhood? I was looking for a job at that address when we met... Reading. You're a reader? Mmm-hmm. I read aloud. Not this book. This is for my own pleasure. May I see? Certainly. "Dickinson." Dickinson? Mmm-hmm. Should I know about this Dickinson? She's a wonderful poet. I'm named after her. You're named after Dickinson? No. My first name. Emily. Emily Crane. Do you know Mr. Edgar Allan Poe? Mmm-hmm. I practice my English with his poems, for the sound. "To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells "from the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells." I think that's very beautiful. Yes, it's very beautiful. You speak English very well. Where did you learn? Many places. During the war? During, after. Do you translate? Is that what you do? Why do you think that? Well, I heard you translating, the other day. I couldn't help it. The window was open. The other man was yelling... What man? Uh, Dr. Teperson. He's a tall man... You saw him. Do you know German? No, no. I... Do you know this name, Teperson? No. Should I? Thank you for your Dickinson. Do you translate for Mr. Salwen? I do not know... But I saw you... You're making a mistake. Excuse me, please. Good-bye. Uhh! I know nothing of her. You talked long enough. We talked of poems. She's reader. What else did she say? Nothing. I've told you. Emily Crane? She's named after poet Dickinson. Hi, Ray. Here's the file you sent for. MAN: You're working on this one? HACKETT: Yep. Spot-checking. See if she'll talk. Routine. Lean on her. Why? She's nothing special. Washington wants it. Emily Crane. Maybe she's hooked into something bigger. Like what? Like go and find out. Good morning. Uh... Ready to talk to us, Miss Crane? VENABLE: Miss Crane? Guess not. Miss Crane, you are late. I'm sorry they bothered you. Not bother. They disturbed me. I dislike being disturbed. I should have told you... I have no interest in your troubles, Miss Crane. Would you like me to leave? You will be informed when I do. Please continue reading. Thank you. It's very nice of you to come. Are you from the office? No. He was such a lovely man. (SOBBING) PASTOR: "Though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, "I fear no harm: For you are with me. "Your staff and rod comfort me. "Thou set us a a table before me "in the presence of my enemies." Aah! She's wrong, your Dickinson. She has poem "Heart has pleasure first." "And then excused from pain." She's wrong. First comes pain. Why you follow me? Are you from the government? What you want? I don't know. Please? When I saw you with Mr. Salwen... There was no Mr. Salwen. I can help you. Why you think I need help? Because I think that you're afraid. Of what? Something. Someone. Thank you. Are you here illegally? Maybe I can help. You know nothing of me. Why should you help? You look like you expect everyone to hurt you. How can you help? I know a lawyer. If you need a place to stay, we'll find you one. Here's my name and number. Emily Crane, remember? There. Please call. Marilyn, do you have the name of that immigration lawyer? What do you need it for? I just need some information. You must mean Bill Robinson. Right. How are you? Okay? Yeah, fine. Thanks. (DOORBELL RINGING) Bye. Who is it? HACKETT: Federal Bureau of Investigation. I have nothing to say. We've got a search warrant. Your organization has failed to register under the subversive activities control act after placement on the Attorney General's subversive activities list, giving us the right to search your residence for your membership records. EMILY: I'm calling my lawyer. We're coming in, Miss Crane. You resist, that's a felony. You want that? Mr. Ingalls, please. Oh. When will he be back? Well, can he be reached? Will you please tell him that I called? Uh, Miss Crane. No, he has the number. As soon as possible, please. Thank you. Don't touch those. Aren't there enough kidnappers to go around? Or counterfeiters? Treasury department handles counterfeiters. (KETTLE WHISTLING) That's not where it was. Look, lady... Crane. Miss Crane. Miss Crane, I don't get kicks from this. Course not. You just take orders, right? You don't know how lucky you are. Having you in my home? Who do you think protects you, Miss Crane? We came legally, not breaking down your door. We came with a search warrant, not a gun... You finished? Yeah, I'm finished. Be seeing you, Miss Crane. (DOOR LOCKING) How long you been with the Bureau, Mike? Since law school. Why? One of those farm states? Kansas. You know that. They have girls out there? Come on, Joe. Good-lookin' girls with blond hair? She got me mad. That's all. This is a job, Mike. Cigarette? No. You don't get mad or personal, even if you come from the sticks where everybody says hello. I don't like this city. (TELEPHONE RINGING) Alan? Emily Crane? I tried to reach you, but... Who is this? You're Emily Crane who is Dickinson? Yes. Oh, yes! I thought you were somebody else. You think still you can help me? Yes, I could try. I would like meet again with you. Okay. We shouldn't meet here. I'll tell you what. Near Sheridan Square, there's a bookstore. You can't miss it. It's quite large and sells used books. You're alone? Of course. Are you all right? Bad things are happening in that house. I wish not to be part. Shouldn't you go to the police? No. Of no use. You say you can help. Yes. I've called my friend. He's expecting us. He's good man, this lawyer? You trust him? Absolutely. Come on. We'll catch a cab. Okay, sonny, let's go. May I help you? US Immigration. He's an illegal alien. They're not immigration. Take it easy. No one will hurt you. Where are you taking him? Downtown. No. I'll call the lawyer. They're not immigration! Calm down. Please help me. I'll go with you. I'll call from their office. Can't do that, Miss Crane. Regulations. How do you know my name? Run! I don't know. Check here. I'll go this way. Oh! This way! Hurry! Come on. (BELL RINGING) WOMAN: Please take your seats. The performance will continue in two minutes. I have information... Excuse me. Those are our seats. Excuse me. Honey. ACTOR 1: Mind if I start it off with a good old gag that always gets a laugh? Those are our seats. My stomach just can't take it anymore. I'm fit to pop! All I want to do is sleep. ACTOR 1: Go right ahead. But don't you dare... Can I help you? ACTOR 1: ...But I am sick already. Why do I have to... You can't come back here. How do you get out of here? In there. No! You can't go up there! Come down here! Come down... Aah! Aah! (SIREN) MAN: That should just about do it. Have you seen the captain? MAN ON RADIO: We're going out to the hospital. Nothing. Nobody knows who he is, where he lived. No ID. Fingerprints, clothes... Zilch. Nothing. He didn't exist. I told you before. Go to that house. I sent someone. They never heard of the boy. They're lying. Look, Miss Crane, we ran a check on you. You're in a little trouble yourself. You want my advice? Don't look for more. He was trying to get away. Away from who? Who murdered him? A fact or two. Talk to Ray Salwen. I saw him with the boy. You think you did. I know I did. It's just your say-so. Why should I lie? Everybody lies. Go back to that house. Talk to Salwen. In the back. Get the next witness. Okay. You can go. Did you have to get permission from the FBI? Don't crowd your luck. We could book you as a material witness. You know any of these names? Samuel Hurwitz, David Bistrong, Jesse Sackadorf? They mean anything to you? Kid had 'em in his pocket. Good night, Miss Crane. Stay out of trouble. Up here? Oh! You don't mind? I was in the neighborhood. Normally, I would have called first, but these are not normal times. I can close the door if you want to get out. No? No. Tell me, do you like reading to that crazy old lady? It's a job beneath your capabilities. You're an intelligent young woman. You had a promising future. What do you want? I'd like to help you. Why? "Y" is a crooked letter. My mother used to say that to me when I asked too many questions. Emily... Can I call you Emily? You don't mind? The question is what do you want? I'm concerned for your welfare. Like you were concerned for that boy's welfare. I sought you out, Emily. I didn't have to come here. You're not important enough to buy off. Then why try? Nobody wants another mistake. Do you know these gentlemen? Hurwitz, Sackadorf, Bistrong, Teperson? Don't stay too long in a hot tub. You could catch a cold. I disapprove of snooping, Miss Crane. I beg your pardon. You show an unseemly interest in that house. I apologize. I didn't mean to... What one means is irrelevant. What matters is what one does. I believe that house is connected with something terrible. Does it concern you? No, not exactly... Then you have no reason to pry. I do not know who lives in that house, nor do I care. However, it seems apparent they are no longer in residence. The shades are now always pulled down. No windows are ever open, even though the days are mild. Garbage is not put out. The house is almost certainly empty. But how can you really tell? Well... I should imagine a rock through a window would do the trick. Oh! (SIGHING) (CHILDREN PLAYING) (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS) Aaah! Aah! (RUNNING DOWNSTAIRS) Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine. I just like lying here. Oh! Don't move. All right. Uhh... That's not where I need it. He pulled a dirty trick. I know. I teach dirty tricks. Why didn't you just shoot him? I don't have a gun. What? I don't have a gun. They're too heavy to wear. Oh! That's better. You put 'em on your belt right here, you end up walkin' around like this. Ohhh! What are you doing here, anyway? You bellyached to the cops about this house. I just thought I'd take a look. Sorry about the other day. Hmm? I didn't mean to get personal. I was, uh... Personal, too. Yeah, but you're not sorry. Did you hear something? You okay? Well... To tell you the truth, I do feel a little shaky. I think I should go home. Blood sugar. It drops when you get scared. You need something to eat. No. No, really, I... I should just go home. I'll stay till you get upstairs. Come to the window and wave. You've got a great act, Cochran. Good night. Want to give me that book you lifted back there? (UNZIPPING PURSE) This is the one you took? Yes. Emily Dickinson. That's it. Here. I'd like to talk to you, Miss Crane. I've been waiting for you to show up. Here. This is the book I took. It was owned by somebody named Laura Moulton. She wrote her name and the date, 1851. It was published in 1904, so she couldn't have written it in 1851. What does it mean? I can't figure it out. You comin', lady? I know it has something to do with the murder. So find out. Do something useful. MAN ON DEVICE: Ball two. ...Drops too low. Fine crowd on hand here today. Well over 6,000... Thanks. We're delighted to see the youngsters in the ballpark. It's a fast ball! 2 and 1 the count. Ink's modern. What? The ink. It's modern. Lab says it was written within the year. Look at that. The duke went 4 for 4. What's so special about 1851? 3 balls, 1 strike. Poe died in 1849. I looked it up. Poe's the shortstop for the Tigers, right? It's a fly ball to right center... What do you think? He'll win the batting title. Who? Duke Snider. No. He won't beat Stan "the Man" Musial. ...36 RBIs... Suppose it isn't the year? Suppose...it's the day, month, and then year? 1-8-51. January 8, 1951. It's been and gone. Right. Look at the handwriting. It's not American. Americans put the month first. Europeans put the day. It could also mean August 1, 1951. That's tomorrow. Right. Maybe she's on to something. You're a dumb hick. Why else would they want us to lean on her? You know why? I know two things. The Dodgers will win and what I learned in the navy. Keep your mouth shut, your bowels open, and never volunteer. A guy's been murdered. A police department matter. She could have been next if I hadn't been there. Make a wager. We're already betting on the pennant. Batting crown. You got Musial. I'll take Snyder. You call me dumb? Come on. Deal? Deal. You got a woman's name and a date. Something special tomorrow? The lady's birthday? A rendezvous somewhere? Love nest? A rendezvous, you don't put down the year. You figure you know what year. So... Maybe it's not a woman. (HORN BLOWS) All right. Through here now. MAN: These three here. (HORN BLOWS) How did you figure out it was a ship? I've got a smart partner. I checked the manifest. She's carrying furniture and refugees. The cargo was shaken down before it was loaded. You did all that? It was my day off. I had time on my hands. You keep surprising me. Sometimes I surprise myself. Maybe I was wrong about you. COCHRAN: Any of 'em look familiar? Mmm-mmm. That woman... I know her. I saw her with the boy at the house. We've got to follow them. Wait! Wait! Wait! No. EMILY: Why not? COCHRAN: You see that guy? He's government. Whatever this is, it's official. Come on. Official? You're official, aren't you? You're government. Official just makes it worse. (BELL RINGING) (UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING) ♪ Hey! Hey! Hey! ♪ Oh, yeah! ♪ Whee! Hey! Hey! ♪ Hey! ♪ Hup! Hup! ♪ Oh, yes! ♪ Hup! Hup! ♪ Hey! Yeah! ♪ Ahh! ♪ Hup!

MAN: Sure, that's who, Connie. You're a friend of Stephanie's. I remember you. You remember me? I am Boria. Right, yes, yes. So, where you been, Connie? I haven't seen you around lately. I moved. Oh, sure. I don't blame you. This lousy town is a dump. Oh, yes. Hey, you want to dance with me, Connie? Oh, maybe later. I got to dance right now. Later, I ain't even going to be able to stand up. Well, look me up if you can make it, Boria. Wonderful party, isn't it? (SPEAKING RUSSIAN) I said, "It's a wonderful party." Oh, yes, very wonderful. (SPEAKING RUSSIAN) How was your trip? Was it smooth? Oh, yes, very smooth. Oh, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Connie Orstrovsky. Sackadorf. Sackadorf. Well, you must be Mr. Bistrong. Hurwitz. Ah. And Dr. Teperson. Have you seen him since you've arrived? I am Teperson. Do I know you? Miss Orstrovsky, Dr. Teperson. We have met before, yes? Well, yes, um... Mrs... I can't remember her name, she introduced us. I was thinking before today. No, I don't think so. I mean, I certainly would have remembered. Will you gentlemen please excuse me? Pardon me. Cochran, let's dance. You see that tall man, the one with the men from the boat? He's the one I saw at the window. He's watching us. He recognized me, but I don't think he knows from where. The boy had the names of those men in his pocket. He was getting them from the cemetery. They're dead people. They're being smuggled into the country as people who are dead. Why are they smuggled in? Who are they? People who can't get in normally. Why? Which side were they on? Come on, let's get out of here. I've gotta find out. No! Wait... Cochran! Simpson. You part of the wedding? Yeah, kind of. You here officially? This is hands-off for you people. You know that. (MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN) WOMAN: Gentlemen, would you please pay attention for a moment? (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) WOMAN: Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to use the Brooklyn House. (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) WOMAN: You'll be spending the night here. (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) WOMAN: You'll leave for Chicago tomorrow. (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) WOMAN: You'll be leaving on the Chicago express, which departs at 6:00. (SPEAKING RUSSIAN) (BANG) (SPEAKING RUSSIAN) MAN: Tell them there is nothing to worry about. (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) MAN: In Chicago, it will be impossible to trace you. (INTERPRETER TRANSLATING INTO RUSSIAN) (BANG) MAN: Hold it! Boria! You're still standing. Let's dance. You're out of your jurisdiction. (BEEP BEEP) WOMAN: So, what are you doing? I recommend the hamburger, no kidding. It's not like you think. The hamburger happens to be famous. No, thank you. You like it medium-rare? Nothing. Thank you. "From nothing comes nothing." Shakespeare. King Lear. I have a head full of useless quotations. Medium. You like cottage fries? Cottage fries. Emily... Nobody wants to hurt you. I tried to make that plain before. There's been enough strong arm already. I'm offering you a bargain. 100% clearance, FBI off your case, no names, membership lists. Between us, we got that closed a long time ago. All I want in return is the simple truth from you. Who else knows? That woman that you read to? Now, think before you speak. I'll make a deal with you. I'll tell you who knows if you'll tell me who killed the boy. Curiosity killed the cat, Emily. He was killed years ago. You don't survive a childhood like that, the camps, the wars. He arrived here dead. Unknown, unwanted, illegal. I took pity on him. He worked for you? Odd jobs. Like getting names off tombstones? Be careful that your reach does not exceed your grasp. Who killed him? Ketchup... Not blood. Everything's a joke to you, isn't it? Bringing in Nazis disguised as Jews, it's such a funny idea. Who else could think of it? Who has that kind of humor? Jew killers into Jews? Eat before it gets cold. You're an educated person, Emily. You should know the lessons of history. What does a map of the world tell you? After the first war, 1/6th of the world. After the second, what? Half? The stain is spreading. You think the war is over. World War Two, sure. World War Three... Batter's up. I'd like to go home now. We haven't heard your part of the deal. Who killed the boy? You killed him, Emily... With the best of intentions, of course. You killed him with kindness. You're a do-gooder. Your hand goes out in charity. What's it matter, a boy falls by the wayside? Without you, he'd still be alive. No one else knows. (DOOR OPENS) COCHRAN: Don't turn on the light! I'm in the kitchen. There's a man... They had it wired to the stove. It would have exploded when you tried boiling water. This is as far as I got with it. Shouldn't we leave? They usually blow up about a minute after being detached. It's been about 30 seconds. Do you want to start counting? One, two, three, four, five, six... I was never very good at bomb disposal. I almost flunked the course. Nine, ten... It's kind of like a crossword puzzle. 11, 12... I was never really good at those, either. 13, 14, 15... 16, 17, 18... 19, 20... Shit! 21, what's wrong? Nothing. Keep counting. I cut the wrong wire. Sorry about the language. Don't give it a second thought. 25, 26, 27... Cochran, let's get out of here. I hate confessing to defeat. Let's go. No! No, come on! Let's go! Go! Go! 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41... Aah! 42, 43... Right here. 44, 45, 46, 47... Maybe I cut the right wire. 48, 49... (DOOR BEING UNLOCKED) (CRYING) He knew he was gonna kill me... While he was ordering me dinner. "The famous... Hamburger." He sat there, and he made jokes. And he looked at me, and the... Whole time, he was only waiting till he knew it was time. What would they have said, Cochran? Gas leak? Smoking in bed? It's okay, Emily. No! Come on. Shh, shh, shh. Come on, come on. (SOBBING) Come on. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. You're okay. You're okay. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.

It's just I didn't know where else you'd be safe. You sleep okay? Fine. Thank you. You make sounds when you sleep. I know. I squeak. No. You don't squeak. It's, um... (SIGHS) We're oil and water, Cochran. Not last night, we weren't. In the dark... All this disappeared. It's morning now. We can make it night again. Why couldn't we have met in World War Two when we were on the same side? I hated New York till I met you. But all I've done is get you in trouble, you and everyone else. Well, lose a horse, lose a buggy. We try to stop them, don't we? They're leaving today at 6:00. You can't. You've been warned off. Just don't confuse me. Are you doing this for me? Uh, I don't know why I'm doing this. Well, I do and I don't. All right, well, now I'm confused. I don't think you're that confused. Well, you don't know me very well. I confuse easily. Ask anyone. You're tender, Cochran. That's what did it. Uh-uh. No. Hold it. (TELEPHONE RINGS) Library. Wentwood speaking. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Mike? Yeah?

Tell him I'm at Grand Central. Our people might be on the train. Miss Crane, if... (CLICK) She called. She's at Grand Central. Damn it! What happened? I'm off the case. What else? I can't tell anyone what I know. That's all? I gotta stay away from her. MAN ON PA: Northwest unlimited to St. Louis on track 32. Loading for a 5:45 departure.

You're too old for a manicure. Not if you sit on my lap. All talk. Yeah. Ha ha ha! There you go, ma'am. He's not married anymore. He's separated. (GASPS) Excuse me! May I help you, Miss? I thought some friends might have boarded early. Four men? Yes. Government people? Are they here? Uh-huh. I just wanted to know if they were on board. Follow me. Is this the one? Yes! You can't play tricks on the Chicago express. Aah! Why can't you stay in one place? (PANTING) Cochran, why do you keep on scaring me? Everybody else does. Why not me? Let's go. I lost her. She disappeared down one of the tunnels. I chased her down the tracks, then she walked into one of the tunnels. I can't find her. You're a schmuck. I don't want to take a chance. We'll go up and around. They will be on the train. Come on. Uh! Cochran! Get out of here! Uhh! Ohh! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! MAN ON PA: The Chicago Express, train 25, now available for boarding. Uhh! Aah! Aah! Aah! Uhh! Nobody took me off the case. Hey, come back here! (PANTING) (BANGING ON DOOR) (BANGING ON DOOR) (BANGING ON DOOR) SALWEN: You know... None of this had to happen. None of it! It was such a necessity. Hmm? Why couldn't you just stop? A boy from nowhere. I refuse to believe that. Why, Emily? Why do this to yourself? We could have lived and let live. It wasn't personal with me. Emily, didn't you know what you were doing? Those Nazis. Who cares anymore? Footnote of history. Don't turn away. Emily, Emily, Emily! You're hurting your country. These men will serve America in her moment of need. You have no right to interfere. Look in your heart. Don't turn away. Come here, girl! Listen to me! Salwen! Uhh! Uhh! Uhh! Unh! (PEOPLE SCREAMING) (SPEAKING RUSSIAN) Get out of here. I'm givin' you a break. You have no right. Watch. You, you, you, and you, under arrest. MAN: You're crazy. Yeah, well I'm not myself today. Keep your hands on the table. I want you safe for trial. WOMAN: Don't be ridiculous. These men are legitimate refugees. They have papers. Sackadorf, Bistrong... Exactly. And Teperson. MAN: Stay out of this. The real name over there is Gerhardt Kundst, in charge of experiments in how long a man can survive in ice-water before he freezes to death. Subject to experiments were prisoners in Auschwitz. Should I do the others? You fool. You think you've stopped anything? You know what they'll do to you? Maybe they'll give him a medal. Emily? How are you feeling? I'm all right. I'm okay. We had to wrap up the case. It took till this morning. I waited for you. I guess I could have called. I'm being transferred... Butte, Montana. Well, that's too bad. Well, listen, you know, I could have been canned. It could have been worse. I don't think much of the big city, so... I'll give you a call from Butte. That would be nice. Safer, anyway. You know... It really wouldn't have worked. Oil and water. Opposite sides. You're right. Take good care of yourself, Cochran. You, too. Miss Crane? I'd still like to talk to you. I have nothing to say. (MOTOR STARTS)
