The word "reform"...

523
00:27:52,136 --> 00:27:56,672
Means to remove doubt,
to reclaim, to improve.

It can also mean degrade and brutalize.

There are reformatories

We look down the alley and see this guy.

1332

Were you ever charged with this murder?

Me? No, sir. I saw it, though.

And I thought about it
for a couple of days,

and I just couldn't stand it.

01:24:22,289 --> 01:24:24,356
right in their eyes, all the time.

1634
01:24:24,392 --> 01:24:26,492
Try...

1635
01:24:26,527 --> 01:24:29,395
Nick, you're not listening to me.

1636
01:24:29,430 --> 01:24:31,163
I was just thinking.

1637
01:24:32,867 --> 01:24:35,300
I want to live, Andy.

1638
01:24:35,336 --> 01:24:38,804
Gee, I want to live.

1639
01:24:38,839 --> 01:24:40,773
Andrew: Why did you run away
from the police

1640
01:24:40,808 --> 01:24:42,207
when they tried to arrest you?

1641
01:24:42,243 --> 01:24:43,824
Well, on skid row
when the cops come around,

1642
01:24:43,844 --> 01:24:45,077
everybody runs.

1643
01:24:45,112 --> 01:24:47,479
Nick...

1644
01:24:47,515 --> 01:24:49,548
Did you have anything to do
with the killing

1645
01:24:49,583 --> 01:24:51,150
with which you're charged?

1646
01:24:51,185 --> 01:24:52,985
No, I'm innocent.

1647
01:24:56,590 --> 01:24:58,624
Cross examination.

1648
01:25:00,094 --> 01:25:02,628
He wouldn't kill anybody.

1649
01:25:02,663 --> 01:25:04,430
He kills me.

1650
01:25:04,465 --> 01:25:06,331
Shh, quiet.

1651
01:25:09,503 --> 01:25:12,104
You're "pretty boy" Romano, aren't you?

1652
01:25:12,139 --> 01:25:13,605
Question excluded.

1653
01:25:13,641 --> 01:25:17,676
You're the... Good-looking
fellow, aren't you?

1654
01:25:17,712 --> 01:25:18,944
Yeah, I'm good-looking.

1655
01:25:18,979 --> 01:25:20,212
Question excluded.

1656
01:25:20,247 --> 01:25:22,548
Mr. Kerman, you know
those tactics are improper.

1657
01:25:22,583 --> 01:25:24,616
Know a lot of girls?

1658
01:25:24,652 --> 01:25:26,552
A few.

1659
01:25:26,587 --> 01:25:28,921
Why did you lie on the stand just now?

1660
01:25:28,956 --> 01:25:31,490
I didn't... look at me,
Romano, not at the jury.

1661
01:25:31,525 --> 01:25:33,559
That trick won't work.

1662
01:25:33,594 --> 01:25:35,427
I didn't lie.

1663
01:25:35,463 --> 01:25:38,063
Answer this one carefully.

1664
01:25:38,099 --> 01:25:39,798
Do you wear a hat?

1665
01:25:39,834 --> 01:25:41,900
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.

1666
01:25:41,936 --> 01:25:43,635
That night? I...

1667
01:25:43,671 --> 01:25:45,170
come on, come on.

1668
01:25:45,206 --> 01:25:47,940
Maybe. I don't think so.

1669
01:25:47,975 --> 01:25:50,676
I call the jury's attention to exhibit "C,"

1670
01:25:50,711 --> 01:25:52,778
already admitted into evidence.

1671
01:25:52,813 --> 01:25:55,848
This hat was found near
the entrance to an alley,

1672
01:25:55,883 --> 01:25:59,585
which the killer ran out of
after committing the crime.

1673
01:25:59,620 --> 01:26:02,488
Evidently, it was thrown away
by the killer.

1674
01:26:02,523 --> 01:26:04,556
I remind you of statements by pedestrians

1675
01:26:04,592 --> 01:26:05,891
who saw the killing

1676
01:26:05,926 --> 01:26:09,795
and testified that the murderer
wore a slouch hat.

1677
01:26:09,830 --> 01:26:11,230
Is this your hat?

1678
01:26:11,265 --> 01:26:12,531
No.

1679
01:26:12,566 --> 01:26:15,267
Well, Mr. Romano,
would you please try it on?

1680
01:26:15,302 --> 01:26:17,102
Let's see if it's becoming.

1681
01:26:28,849 --> 01:26:30,849
Your honor.

1682
01:26:30,885 --> 01:26:34,286
Your honor, may I take a look
at the state's exhibit "C"?

1683
01:26:34,321 --> 01:26:35,721
Proceed.

1684
01:26:35,756 --> 01:26:36,922
Nick.

1685
01:26:40,995 --> 01:26:43,061
Just a hat.

1686
01:26:43,097 --> 01:26:45,264
No marks.

1687
01:26:54,441 --> 01:26:57,042
What are you trying to prove, Mr. Morton?

1688
01:26:57,077 --> 01:26:59,111
It fits me, too.

1689
01:26:59,146 --> 01:27:01,246
Am the killer?

1690
01:27:04,118 --> 01:27:05,751
Was counsel for the defense

1691
01:27:05,786 --> 01:27:07,452
in the neighborhood of the 380 bar

1692
01:27:07,488 --> 01:27:09,922
the night officer Hawkins was killed?

1693
01:27:09,957 --> 01:27:13,058
You're probably as tired
as I am, Mr. Romano.

1694
01:27:13,093 --> 01:27:15,961
Thanks for your Patience.
I'm almost finished.

1695
01:27:15,996 --> 01:27:18,730
Just a few more simple questions.

1696
01:27:18,766 --> 01:27:20,332
For instance...

1697
01:27:20,367 --> 01:27:22,501
Did you kill Hawkins?

1698
01:27:22,536 --> 01:27:23,902
I didn't kill him.

1699
01:27:23,938 --> 01:27:25,986
You stood there in the alley
and killed him, didn't you?

1700
01:27:26,006 --> 01:27:27,521
No, I didn't, and I don't know
nothin' about it.

1701
01:27:27,541 --> 01:27:29,041
Are you sure? Sure, I'm sure.

1702
01:27:29,076 --> 01:27:30,042
I object!

1703
01:27:30,077 --> 01:27:31,157
Your honor, the prosecution

1704
01:27:31,178 --> 01:27:32,693
has been badgering this boy for hours,

1705
01:27:32,713 --> 01:27:34,379
asking these same questions!

1706
01:27:34,415 --> 01:27:35,814
Mr. Kerman, don't you think

1707
01:27:35,850 --> 01:27:38,617
you've exhausted that method of approach?

1708
01:27:38,652 --> 01:27:41,053
Very well, your honor.

1709
01:27:50,764 --> 01:27:54,199
This is the gun you killed
Hawkins with, isn't it?

1710
01:28:05,412 --> 01:28:07,546
No, it's not my gun.

1711
01:28:07,581 --> 01:28:09,648
And I didn't kill Hawkins.

1712
01:28:09,683 --> 01:28:12,117
Excused.

1713
01:28:12,152 --> 01:28:14,853
Oh, just a minute.

1714
01:28:14,889 --> 01:28:17,055
Sit down.

1715
01:28:20,294 --> 01:28:24,096
Didn't your wife commit suicide?

1716
01:28:24,131 --> 01:28:26,531
Didn't your wife commit suicide?

1717
01:28:26,567 --> 01:28:27,666
Leave her out of this!

1718
01:28:27,701 --> 01:28:28,667
Well, didn't she?

1719
01:28:28,702 --> 01:28:30,235
Leave her out of this!!

1720
01:28:31,639 --> 01:28:33,605
Sit down, please.

1721
01:28:40,681 --> 01:28:43,515
You weren't anywhere near the cobra tap

1722
01:28:43,550 --> 01:28:46,351
the night Hawkins was killed, were you?

1723
01:28:46,387 --> 01:28:48,587
I don't...

1724
01:28:48,622 --> 01:28:50,856
Yeah, I was there.

1725
01:28:50,891 --> 01:28:53,025
Was Sunshine there when you arrived?

1726
01:28:53,060 --> 01:28:55,060
Sunshine?

1727
01:28:55,095 --> 01:28:56,295
No, later.

1728
01:28:56,330 --> 01:28:58,030
Where was Butch?

1729
01:28:58,065 --> 01:29:00,165
He was already there.

1730
01:29:00,200 --> 01:29:01,233
You're sure?

1731
01:29:01,268 --> 01:29:03,635
Yeah.

1732
01:29:03,671 --> 01:29:06,805
Did you see kid fingers
when you ran out of that alley?

1733
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,106
No, I told you.

1734
01:29:08,142 --> 01:29:10,609
Weren't you trying to escape
from the consequences

1735
01:29:10,644 --> 01:29:13,245
of your crime when you ran away
from the police?

1736
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:14,846
I didn't do it!

1737
01:29:14,882 --> 01:29:17,783
You hated Hawkins, didn't you?

1738
01:29:17,818 --> 01:29:19,051
I don't like cops.

1739
01:29:19,086 --> 01:29:21,186
You killed Hawkins, didn't you? No!

1740
01:29:21,221 --> 01:29:23,622
Isn't it true your wife killed
herself because of you?!

1741
01:29:23,657 --> 01:29:27,893
Didn't your wife commit suicide?

1742
01:29:27,928 --> 01:29:29,661
I believe in you, Nicky.

1743
01:29:29,697 --> 01:29:30,996
Well, didn't she?

1744
01:29:31,031 --> 01:29:32,497
On, come on, come on.

1745
01:29:32,533 --> 01:29:33,765
Make me proud of you.

1746
01:29:33,801 --> 01:29:36,635
You hated Hawkins, didn't you?

1747
01:29:36,670 --> 01:29:38,236
Don't do it, Nicky.

1748
01:29:38,272 --> 01:29:40,772
You stood there in the alley
and killed him. Don't do it now.

1749
01:29:40,808 --> 01:29:43,442
Didn't your wife commit suicide?

1750
01:29:43,477 --> 01:29:45,143
Oh, come on, come on.

1751
01:29:45,179 --> 01:29:48,347
Isn't it true your wife killed
herself because of you?!

1752
01:29:48,382 --> 01:29:51,049
Isn't it true your wife killed
herself because of you?!

1753
01:29:51,085 --> 01:29:52,217
Stop it! Let me alone!

1754
01:29:52,252 --> 01:29:53,418
You killed him, didn't you?

1755
01:29:53,454 --> 01:29:55,587
Stop badgering me! All right, I killed him!

1756
01:29:55,622 --> 01:29:57,723
Sure, I did! I killed him! I'm glad I did!

1757
01:29:57,758 --> 01:29:59,524
Stop badgering me, or I'll kill you, too!

1758
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:00,874
Shall we remove the witness, your honor?

1759
01:30:00,894 --> 01:30:02,060
Judge: No.

1760
01:30:02,096 --> 01:30:03,328
[ Camera shutters clicking ]

1761
01:30:03,364 --> 01:30:06,631
Sorry I had to do it the hard way.

1762
01:30:06,667 --> 01:30:08,367
Why'd you lie to me?

1763
01:30:08,402 --> 01:30:10,335
I'm sorry, Andy.

1764
01:30:12,006 --> 01:30:13,872
Yeah.

1765
01:30:51,311 --> 01:30:52,811
Your honor...

1766
01:30:52,846 --> 01:30:56,615
I'd like to make a motion
out of the hearing of the jury.

1767
01:30:56,650 --> 01:30:59,351
The jury will be taken to the jury room.

1768
01:31:15,569 --> 01:31:17,469
Your honor...

1769
01:31:17,504 --> 01:31:20,072
I request that the plea of the defendant

1770
01:31:20,107 --> 01:31:23,442
in this case be changed
from "not guilty" to "guilty."

1771
01:31:25,112 --> 01:31:26,945
Will the defendant rise?

1772
01:31:30,417 --> 01:31:32,384
Do you understand the consequences

1773
01:31:32,419 --> 01:31:34,052
of your attorney's request?

1774
01:31:34,088 --> 01:31:35,887
Yes.

1775
01:31:36,957 --> 01:31:38,590
The request is granted.

1776
01:31:38,625 --> 01:31:42,727
The jury will not be recalled
and a plea of guilty entered.

1777
01:32:07,688 --> 01:32:09,121
I was on the jury.

1778
01:32:09,156 --> 01:32:11,123
So was I.

1779
01:32:37,251 --> 01:32:39,618
Is there any statement you wish to make

1780
01:32:39,653 --> 01:32:41,186
before sentence is passed?

1781
01:32:43,524 --> 01:32:45,690
Mr. Morton?

1782
01:32:47,928 --> 01:32:49,928
Your honor, there's...

1783
01:32:49,963 --> 01:32:54,132
Something I'd like to say
in behalf of the defendant.

1784
01:32:56,603 --> 01:32:59,304
When I took this case, I...

1785
01:32:59,339 --> 01:33:02,741
I believed Nick Romano was innocent.

1786
01:33:02,776 --> 01:33:05,310
I believed what he told me, and...

1787
01:33:05,345 --> 01:33:09,147
I believed what those men,
Butch and Sunshine, told me.

1788
01:33:09,183 --> 01:33:12,117
I believed because I wanted to believe.

1789
01:33:13,754 --> 01:33:17,455
I wanted to believe
that all the filth and fury

1790
01:33:17,491 --> 01:33:20,659
and jumble of this boy's past

1791
01:33:20,694 --> 01:33:24,162
had not produced a killer.

1792
01:33:24,198 --> 01:33:25,964
But...

1793
01:33:25,999 --> 01:33:28,333
Nick Romano is guilty.

1794
01:33:36,243 --> 01:33:38,643
He's guilty of...

1795
01:33:38,679 --> 01:33:41,546
Of many things.

1796
01:33:41,582 --> 01:33:45,750
He's guilty of... of knowing
his father died in prison.

1797
01:33:45,786 --> 01:33:49,654
He's guilty of having been
reared in poverty.

1798
01:33:49,690 --> 01:33:52,891
He's guilty of having lived in the slums.

1799
01:33:52,926 --> 01:33:55,827
Of having had the wrong companions...

1800
01:33:55,862 --> 01:33:59,431
the pickpockets and hoodlums,
panhandlers and prostitutes

1801
01:33:59,466 --> 01:34:03,335
of the worst district that ever
disgraced a modern city.

1802
01:34:03,370 --> 01:34:06,438
He's guilty of the pool rooms and bars

1803
01:34:06,473 --> 01:34:09,040
that were open to him as a boy.

1804
01:34:09,076 --> 01:34:11,810
He's guilty of the foul treatment

1805
01:34:11,845 --> 01:34:14,079
of a primitive reform school.

1806
01:34:16,450 --> 01:34:19,184
Keep the boy...

1807
01:34:19,219 --> 01:34:22,053
And civilize the boyhood.

1808
01:34:22,089 --> 01:34:25,423
This boy could've been exulted
instead of degraded,

1809
01:34:25,459 --> 01:34:27,926
student instead of savage.

1810
01:34:27,961 --> 01:34:31,930
But come with Nick on his own
way to that reform school,

1811
01:34:31,965 --> 01:34:37,302
see your best friend die
of subhuman punishment.

1812
01:34:37,337 --> 01:34:40,538
Come with Nick along skid row,

1813
01:34:40,574 --> 01:34:45,377
where the fences buy anything
and no questions asked.

1814
01:34:45,412 --> 01:34:48,813
Come with Nick into the alleys
and on the streets,

1815
01:34:48,849 --> 01:34:52,050
past the drunks and panhandlers
and prostitutes

1816
01:34:52,085 --> 01:34:55,620
into the pool rooms and the bars.

1817
01:34:55,656 --> 01:34:57,322
Listen.

1818
01:34:57,357 --> 01:35:00,825
Listen to the jackrollers and the thieves.

1819
01:35:00,861 --> 01:35:04,829
Absorb their poisonous philosophy of life.

1820
01:35:04,865 --> 01:35:07,365
Come with Nick to the penitentiary.

1821
01:35:07,401 --> 01:35:10,201
Be numbered and counted and hated,

1822
01:35:10,237 --> 01:35:14,906
and leave there determined
to be worthy of that hatred.

1823
01:35:14,941 --> 01:35:17,208
Yes...

1824
01:35:17,244 --> 01:35:19,744
Nick Romano is guilty.

1825
01:35:19,780 --> 01:35:21,479
But so are we!

1826
01:35:21,515 --> 01:35:25,383
And so is that precious thing
called society.

1827
01:35:25,419 --> 01:35:29,254
Society is you and you and you

1828
01:35:29,289 --> 01:35:30,955
and all of us.

1829
01:35:30,991 --> 01:35:34,359
We, society, are hard
and selfish and stupid!

1830
01:35:34,394 --> 01:35:36,661
We're scandalized by environment,

1831
01:35:36,697 --> 01:35:38,296
and we call it crime.

1832
01:35:38,332 --> 01:35:41,266
We denounce crime, and... and yet we...

1833
01:35:41,301 --> 01:35:43,568
we disclaim any responsibility for it.

1834
01:35:43,603 --> 01:35:46,271
And we lack the will
to do anything about it.

1835
01:35:46,306 --> 01:35:48,707
Until we do away with the type
of neighborhood

1836
01:35:48,742 --> 01:35:49,941
that produced this boy,

1837
01:35:49,976 --> 01:35:52,010
10 will spring up to take his place...

1838
01:35:52,045 --> 01:35:54,112
100, 1,000,

1839
01:35:54,147 --> 01:35:57,482
until we wipe out the slums
and rebuild them!

1840
01:35:57,517 --> 01:36:00,118
Knock on any door...

1841
01:36:00,153 --> 01:36:03,722
And you may find Nick Romano.

1842
01:36:05,659 --> 01:36:10,562
The newspapers have been
clamoring for pictures

1843
01:36:10,597 --> 01:36:12,430
and stories about this trial.

1844
01:36:12,466 --> 01:36:15,800
Well, why don't you print this?

1845
01:36:15,836 --> 01:36:19,437
They and you and I, we good people,

1846
01:36:19,473 --> 01:36:22,173
we, the solid citizens of this community,

1847
01:36:22,209 --> 01:36:24,909
we photographed and labeled
this boy years ago.

1848
01:36:24,945 --> 01:36:27,545
We made this rendezvous with him years ago.

1849
01:36:27,581 --> 01:36:31,449
We brutalized and ordered
him here years ago.

1850
01:36:31,485 --> 01:36:35,120
If he dies in the electric chair...

1851
01:36:35,155 --> 01:36:37,355
We killed him.

1852
01:36:37,391 --> 01:36:38,957
Print that!

1853
01:36:43,463 --> 01:36:45,563
Where do we take him now?

1854
01:36:45,599 --> 01:36:47,332
Do we kill him?

1855
01:36:47,367 --> 01:36:50,869
The current coursing through
the blood, the nerves,

1856
01:36:50,904 --> 01:36:54,139
the heart, the brain.

1857
01:36:54,174 --> 01:36:57,742
I ask mercy from this court.

1858
01:36:57,778 --> 01:37:01,579
I ask this so that for us who walk free,

1859
01:37:01,615 --> 01:37:03,782
for all of us,

1860
01:37:03,817 --> 01:37:07,018
there may be some mercy.

1861
01:37:07,053 --> 01:37:10,255
Judge: I am moved by
your eloquence, Mr. Morton...

1862
01:37:10,290 --> 01:37:11,990
deeply moved.

1863
01:37:12,025 --> 01:37:15,960
However, the law and the duty
of this court is clear.

1864
01:37:15,996 --> 01:37:18,263
Will the defendant rise?

1865
01:37:28,442 --> 01:37:30,508
It is the judgment of this court

1866
01:37:30,544 --> 01:37:33,111
that you be taken into
the custody of the warden

1867
01:37:33,146 --> 01:37:34,979
of the state penitentiary

1868
01:37:35,015 --> 01:37:38,149
until Friday, the 29th day of November,

1869
01:37:38,185 --> 01:37:40,051
when you shall be put to death

1870
01:37:40,086 --> 01:37:42,620
in the manner prescribed by the state.

1871
01:37:42,656 --> 01:37:45,290
And may god have mercy on your soul.

1872
01:37:59,172 --> 01:38:01,639
Sorry I fouled out.

1873
01:38:05,345 --> 01:38:08,046
Look, Nick...

1874
01:38:08,081 --> 01:38:10,548
I'm afraid I haven't been able

1875
01:38:10,584 --> 01:38:13,918
to be very much help to you, but...

1876
01:38:13,954 --> 01:38:16,321
You know how I feel.

1877
01:38:16,356 --> 01:38:19,991
If there's one thing I can promise you...

1878
01:38:20,026 --> 01:38:22,827
I'll do everything I can to...

1879
01:38:22,863 --> 01:38:25,663
Keep other fellas like you from...

1880
01:38:27,868 --> 01:38:32,303
well, to help other fellas like you...

1881
01:38:32,339 --> 01:38:34,439
As long as I live.
