But...

Will you protect me?

Sworn.

But you have to leave.

I beg you.

You almost got me.

But I'm smarter than you.

Do not forget it.

DEATH OF POLICE OFFICER

Do you have for a long time?

I'm hungry!

You will wait.

What is it?

It's him.

Go now. Eat.

I'm glad you did

not try anything.

For the inconvenience.

Can I have a coffee

before setting sail?

Thank you. Sugar.

Very good coffee!

Do not stay up.

Do not worry, I'm leaving.

There is no newspaper?

- We did not get it.

- But if!

Where is he?

We did not get it.

We will not say anything, believe me.

Go away, quickly.

Pity! We did no harm to anyone

of all our life.

Do what they say.

Do you want me to leave?

You too?

I did not see the newspaper.

Otherwise I would have told you.

I would have warned you.

At the first step

outside, I will go down.

Is this what you want?

You will say:

"The poor, they got it."

Where will I be safe?

- I stay here.

- Impossible.

You cut the phone, they

will send someone.

- We have to go to work.

- Surely not.

We must eat, live our lives.

This is my friend.

Nobody will come out of here.

She will go up.

Dad!

No!

Do not do that!

Go to work.

But I will always keep one.

As long as I risk nothing,

your family either.

If a cop shows up, by

your fault or not,

whoever will be here...

will have his account.

I saw you crouching downstairs.

Are you waiting for Nick?

Where is he?

You will not find it in there.

Who are his friends?

His only friend was Al Molin.

A hell of a friend!

Come on, where is he?

It's you cops.

He is in town.

If he calls you, tell us.

It will be better for you.

For all of us.

We will have it.

Catch it

and kill him.

Kill him!

Get out.

Get out.

I'll tell you.

Me, I'll take out my fire,

I'll sneak in while he sleeps...

or through a window,

when his back is turned.

You forget that he is armed.

And if you miss it?

Do you have some or not?

Do not get angry,

it was a guess.

I read that in a book.

Would not it be better

to go to the police?

You said he killed a cop,

like that Nick Robey.

Have you ever seen firefighters?

They break everything

to extinguish a fire.

Like the cops with these guys.

Preventing the police is

the last thing to do.

How does it end?

Your story.

I do not know.

I'm not finished.

Where I am, the father is

afraid for his family.

He did not decide anything.

This guy, it's a chick!

Murder of the polluter

unleashes anger

of his colleagues.

A manhunt is against Nlck Robey,

Identlfl as the armed

compllce of AI Molln.

According to the prefect of pollce...

My friend Al!

He was the one who was cogitating,

everything had to go well.

They believe that when I hear

Dalton Trumbo

James Dalton Trumbo (December 9, 1905 – September 10, 1976) was an American screenwriter and novelist who scripted many award-winning films including Roman Holiday, Exodus, Spartacus, and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. One of the Hollywood Ten, he refused to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in 1947 during the committee's investigation of communist influences in the motion picture industry. He, along with the other members of the Hollywood Ten and hundreds of other industry professionals, was subsequently blacklisted by that industry. His talents as one of the top screenwriters allowed him to continue working clandestinely, producing work under other authors' names or pseudonyms. His uncredited work won two Academy Awards: for Roman Holiday (1953), which was given to a front writer, and for The Brave One (1956) which was awarded to a pseudonym of Trumbo's. When he was given public screen credit for both Exodus and Spartacus in 1960, this marked the beginning of the end of the Hollywood Blacklist for Trumbo and other screenwriters. He finally was given full credit by the Writers' Guild for all his achievements, the work of which encompassed six decades of screenwriting. more…
