Cry Danger Page #3

Synopsis: Rocky Mulloy, back in town after serving 5 years of a life sentence for armed robbery, hopes to clear his friend Danny Morgan who's still in prison for the same crime. It won't be easy. Even the witness who cleared Rocky thinks he's guilty; Danny's glamorous wife Nancy, living in a sleazy trailer court, seems lukewarm about getting Danny back; cynical cop Gus Cobb just wants to stir things up in hopes that the missing "hot" $100,000 will surface. Plenty of tough talk, night scenes, deceptive dames and double crosses in this typical film noir.

to forgive and forget

And call up a girl

for him.

Run along, Darlene,

Before I fracture

your spine.

Some funny guy,

aren't you?

Gonna go after

that money pretty soon,

Eh, Rocky?

Pretty soon. Yeah.

Don't wait up

for me.

I don't like it

at all, Mr. Mulloy.

Well, I'm sorry

to hear that.

I wish I knew what you

were talkin' about.

There's been a man

in my office

Asking questions

about you.

Irish guy,

looks like a saint,

Acts like a thug?

That's right.

I think he's a cop.

I know he is.

I been thinkin'

about things.

That Mrs. Morgan-

She's the wife

of the guy

Who pulled the stickup

with you, isn't she?

No, she isn't,

Because we didn't

pull any stickup.

Well, what I meant-

What's bothering you?

I don't like the cops

hangin' around.

Well, forget

about the cops.

They're not interested

in any two-Bit setup

You got here.

Well, I don't want

any trouble.

Look, is my rent paid?

Yeah.

Well, then

stop bothering me.

I still don't want

any trouble.

Neither do I, from you

or anybody else.

Rocky.

Hello, Nancy.

Better grab me quick

Before my knees

give way.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean

to surprise you this way.

Oh, that's all right.

I knew you'd be here.

Let me look at you.

No change.

Same height, same weight.

Oh, you look fine.

When did you get in?

A few hours ago.

I moved Mr. Mulloy in,

Mrs. Morgan.

I'm in inner sanctum

number 12.

I thought we all

ought to get together

And have a little talk-

Good-Bye, Mr. Williams.

Hungry?

Wasn't I always?

You were lucky

to get a place here.

Mr. Williams

likes couples.

Oh, he got one.

Delong's with me.

Oh, the marine.

That's right.

Invite him to dinner.

We'll put more water

In the soup.

He's out bar hopping

with a gal named-

Believe it

if you can-

Darlene la Vonne.

When the marines land,

Darlene's always there

waiting for them.

Hey, this is nice.

What a break, Rocky-

His showing up

after all this time.

It's more than a break.

It's more like

a miracle.

How is Danny?

Just fine.

He told me to have a drink

with you for him.

Is he really all right?

Nothing wrong with him

That getting out

wouldn't fix.

Only 6 more months.

With luck.

Did he mind your

getting out very much,

Since he had to stay?

I couldn't do him

any good up there.

Maybe I can down here.

Oh? How?

Well, Delong proved

They were wrong

about me.

I'm going to prove

The same thing

about Danny.

You're going to try

to open up

The whole thing again?

I'm going to turn it

inside out.

But that just sounds

like more trouble.

What more can

happen to us?

We've had 5 years

yanked out of our lives.

That's a long time

When you break it up

into hours.
