Act of Violence Page #4

---

Not collecting your terminal leave pay...

...dropping all our friends back East.|It all was, wasn't it, Frank?

I know you went through|some bad times in the war.

I know some things must have happened|that hurt you. I never asked.

But I am asking now, Frank.|I want to know.

Do you recognize him?

Joe Parkson. Was he...?

- You saw him this afternoon and tonight.|- But I remember him from your letters.

He was your friend.

Yes, he was my bombardier.

Frank, I think I know now.

What do you mean?

He was with you|all the time you were flying.

- Twenty-five missions.|- No, it was 21.

And a year in the prison camp.|Was that it?

Was that what did it to him?|The strain he went through?

Things like that happen sometimes.

What did you mean|when you said he'd make a scene?

Did you mean he might be violent?

He might be.

What happened at the lake|this afternoon?

Nothing, he came up there...

Frank, look at me.

- He tried to kill you, didn't he?|- No, he was nowhere near me.

- I just left, that's all.|- Oh, this has gone far enough.

- What are you doing?|- Calling the police.

- No, he's sick.|- What if he comes back?

- He won't.|- How do you know what he'll do?

He wouldn't hurt you or the baby.|You saw that.

- I'm not thinking about myself.|- I know, but...

I don't care what a great pal he was.

I'll not gonna let you get killed|because you think you owe something.

This is not a thing|you can go to the police about.

Then call the Army, an Army hospital.|Tell them what he tried to do.

- Tell them to come and get him.|- No.

Frank.

You don't know what made him|the way he is.

I do.

What are you going to do?

I don't know.

Frank!

- Now, get out of here.|- Back in the house.

He's gone. He's left town.

Look, if you don't believe me.|The garage. He took the car...

Oh!

- Where is he?|- I told you, he's gone.

I don't know where he is.|I don't know when he'll be back.

Upstairs.

He's got it nice here, hasn't he?

Real nice.

It's all right, Georgie, don't cry.

Just so there won't be|any misunderstanding...

...tell him I'll be back.

If you are, the police will be here|to meet you.

You'd better check with your husband.|I don't think he'd like that.

Why don't you leave us alone?|Why don't you go away?

He never did anything to you.

I know all about you.|He told me about you.

He thinks he has to protect you,|but I'm not going to.

- I don't care what you went through.|- What did he tell you about me?

What did he tell you?

Did he tell you|that I'm a cripple because of him?

Did he tell you about the men|that are dead because of him?

Tell you what happened to them|before they died?

Mike Garby? He had a wife and a kid too.

Made a nuisance out of himself|showing everybody their picture.
