00:33:24Yes, sir, excuse me, yes, sir, I did

00:37:59Now, the assault
00:38:02Well, Corky says I was defending myself on that one
00:38:04Yeah, that's right, and we're going to use that
00:38:06Listen, they shouldn't have put you in the tank in the first place
00:38:10And whether they do that all the time or not, it's not my fault
00:38:13They shouldn't have put you in the tank in the first place
00:38:16And whether they do that all the time or not doesn't matter
00:38:18Because we're going to make a lot of points on that
00:38:20Well, I still don't get it
00:38:22If I wasn't supposed to be there in the first place
00:38:24And I hit the guy to get him away from me, how come I got a plea guilty?
00:38:26Danny, why don't you just let Mr. Barnes finish?
00:38:28Is it okay if I smoke?
00:38:30Hold on, please, Mom
00:38:32Mom, I want to know why I got a plea guilty, okay?
00:38:34Listen, there's no problem. I know it's tough to understand
00:38:36Look
00:38:38The prosecutor is in a tough spot
00:38:41Well, you beat up on a guy when he was in the state's custody
00:38:44So what do you think I'll get?
00:38:46You're a juvenile. You got no priors
00:38:49Maybe 30 days' detention, maybe less
00:38:5130 days?
00:38:53You want me to plead guilty? You do the time, buddy
00:38:55You spend the time in there
00:38:59Mr. Barnes, we want Danny home
00:39:02Now, if he pleads not guilty...
00:39:04If he pleads not guilty, they're going to set a trial date
00:39:10Now, because he's a juvenile, you have no guarantee of bail
00:39:15The trial should be in less than 30 days
00:39:17But in reality...
00:39:21Hey, the court's backed up this far
00:39:24It's going to be a month or two months, maybe even three
00:39:27You mean that if he pleads not guilty, he could be in here longer than if he pleads guilty?
00:39:32Exactly
00:39:33Oh, my
00:39:35Are you sure you got this right?
00:39:38I'm afraid so
00:39:43That is just the way it is
00:39:49Okay?
00:39:51No
00:39:53Look, I have a custody hearing in 10 minutes
00:39:55Mrs. Cornwell?
00:39:57Thank you for your help, Mr. Barnes
00:39:59You and Danny talk this over and let me know what you decide
00:40:04Okay?
00:40:06Danny, happy seeing you, huh?
00:40:17Mom
00:40:18I know, darling
00:40:19Look, your dad will be home tonight
00:40:20I'll tell him first thing and he'll decide what's best
00:40:30I'm sorry
00:40:31Oh, darling, it's all right
00:40:36I'm real sorry
00:40:37I know, I know
00:40:48Whoa, Alex, I can't believe it
00:40:50No, don't tell me that
00:40:51It can't be true
00:40:52It's too good to be true
00:40:53Tell me again
00:40:54Yeah, I heard you
00:40:55I just want to hear it again
00:40:58Okey-dokey
00:40:59Good deal
00:41:00I'll be there
00:41:01You can count on it
00:41:02Hey, listen, big brother
00:41:03Thanks a lot
00:41:04Okey-doke, I'll see you next week
00:41:06Bye-bye
00:41:07Thanks again, brother
00:41:08Guess what, darling
00:41:09Alex says their supervisor's retiring at the end of the month
00:41:12He's talked to Dan Graves and personnel and they want me for the job
00:41:15In Akron?
00:41:16Akron, Ohio
00:41:17Ohio
00:41:18Ohio State, right, Dad?
00:41:20That's right, Ty
00:41:21Ohio State Buckeyes
00:41:22Best football team there is
00:41:23Oh, it's called we're on the 20-yard line
00:41:25Fumble, fumble
00:41:26Ohio State recovers
00:41:27First down 10
00:41:30Where is Akron?
00:41:31Go get the almanac, I'll show you
00:41:34Darling, I can't believe it
00:41:35I cannot believe it
00:41:36This is a definite
00:41:38Well, you know, we gotta go through all the motions and all
00:41:41I gotta go over there next week for the appointment and everything
00:41:43But don't worry about it
00:41:45Alex says I'm in like Flynn
00:41:46You remember Don Graves, don't you?
00:41:48Big, tall, curly-haired fellow
00:41:49We used to hang around together all the time
00:41:51He and I were on the same bowling team
00:41:52You remember him
00:41:53Oh, yeah
00:41:54Oh, praise be to God
00:41:55Bless him almighty
00:41:57I can't believe this good fortune
00:41:58Best news I've had all year
00:41:59What do you say, Mama?
00:42:00I don't know
00:42:01Sure you do?
00:42:02I mean, it's wonderful
00:42:04I just, uh
00:42:05I just keep thinking about what the lawyer said about Danny
00:42:08Don't worry what the lawyer said, darling
00:42:10If he's innocent, that's the way he's gonna plea
00:42:12Yeah, but the lawyer said
00:42:13About the lawyer, nothing
00:42:14We're going to the courthouse on Friday morning
00:42:15And Danny's coming back with us home on Friday afternoon
00:42:17That's all there is to it
00:42:18Let's see that, darling
00:42:19Okay, Dad
00:42:20This is where we are
00:42:21That's right
00:42:22Now, when this case is over, and it is definitely mine
00:42:25You owe me lunch
00:42:26Well, actually, even if you think about it
00:42:28You owe me lunch
00:42:29How come there's nobody else in the court?
00:42:31I don't think they allow them, honey
00:42:34Juvenile court
00:42:36Oh
00:42:37Your mom picked me up on the bus
00:42:39Are you surprised?
00:42:40You bet
00:42:41But I don't want him seeing those boys when he's off here
00:42:43We're gonna party
00:42:44Yeah
00:42:45At my house
00:42:46We missed you, Dan
00:42:47Yeah, I missed you guys
00:42:48It's gonna be great to get out of here
00:42:50We're gonna start all over with this boy
00:42:52We're gonna do it right this time
00:42:54None of that trashy company
00:42:56Whatever happened to that Henderson?
00:42:57Oh, Bennett sent him to state
00:42:59He's an incredible runaway
00:43:00I said, you'd be a runaway, too, if somebody beat you like that
00:43:03All rise
00:43:08Please be seated
00:43:11Mr. Raines
00:43:12Yes, Your Honor
00:43:13This is the matter of the arraignment of Daniel Caldwell
00:43:16Case number 4407B12
00:43:21Danny, I have your advice and rights acknowledgement here
00:43:23Signed by you and your mother
00:43:24You read and understood it?
00:43:26You read and understood it?
00:43:29Could you please give the court a verbal reply?
00:43:31This is being taped
00:43:32Uh, yes, I understood it
00:43:34And have you given any thought as to why you're in here in the past few days?
00:43:39Yes, sir
00:43:40And I'm sorry about what I did
00:43:43I'm glad to hear it
00:43:44Mr. Barnes, how does your client plead?
00:43:47The pleas of the court
00:43:48My client wishes to plead guilty on all three counts
00:43:51However, we wish that the extenuating circumstances be considered
00:43:55Because...
00:43:56I don't want to do that
00:43:57I don't want to plead guilty
00:43:58Look, I'll say I was drunk and that's it
00:44:00No, no, no, we talked about this already
00:44:02Mr. Caldwell, I can take care of this
00:44:04I changed my mind
00:44:06Danny, you want to plead not guilty to the assault and battery charge, is that right?
00:44:10Yes, sir
00:44:13Mrs. Blake
00:44:15I have witnesses' depositions here
00:44:16But I can't seem to find the plaintiff's affidavit
00:44:20Your Honor, uh, Mr. Quinn signed himself out of the hospital yesterday
00:44:24So far we've been unable to locate him
00:44:27Since I don't anticipate that taking long
00:44:30I'd like to request that detention be continued
00:44:33Request denied
00:44:34No reason why the defendant should sit in jail
00:44:36Because the prosecutor's office loses people
00:44:38Mr. Raines, I want a trial date set within a 30-day period
00:44:42Uh, Your Honor
00:44:43And, uh, Mr. Corcoran, I...
00:44:45I'm also missing Danny's evaluation
00:44:47Oh, well, we're pretty backed up in probation right now, sir
00:44:50Danny's been available to you for five days
00:44:54Now, I want this resolved
00:44:57Your Honor, November 12th would be good
00:44:59Very well
00:45:00And, Mr. Corcoran, I'm giving you 48 hours for that initial psychological workup
00:45:04Well, Monday's a holiday, sir
00:45:06The department's closed
00:45:07And I have to check Dr. Foreman's schedule for time
00:45:10Let Dr. Foreman make time
00:45:14Excuse me, Your Honor
00:45:16Uh, when can Danny come home?
00:45:19Mr. Corwell, I'm sorry about this
00:45:21But the court requires an evaluation of Danny
00:45:23And it has been done
00:45:25Now, I'll have to stay here until this is underway
00:45:27And after he's released to you
00:45:29You must continue to see his probation officer and the doctor
00:45:33Is that understood?
00:45:35Yes, sir
00:45:41First it's one day, then it's five, now it's another week
00:45:44It's all right
00:45:45I can't sit up on that side no more
00:45:47Just take it easy, everything's gonna be all right
00:45:49I'm thinking of getting us another lawyer
00:45:51Someone older, more experienced
00:45:53Mr. Corwell, you can't do much better than Andy Barnes
00:45:55Yeah, well, I'm sorry, Mr. Corcoran
00:45:57I know you people are busy, but this just isn't good enough
00:45:59First that lady losing her witness
00:46:00And you people not doing what you're supposed to
00:46:02And he's still here
00:46:03We'll do the best we can, sir
00:46:04We're understaffed, and there's always more kids coming
00:46:09We'll see you later, son
00:46:10Danny, bye, darling
00:46:11I'll see you soon
00:46:14Bye, babe
00:46:15Can't you get him a radio or someone to talk to or something?
00:46:18It ain't right for a boy all alone in jail like that
00:46:20Well, I don't know about a radio, but he's gonna be seeing plenty of me
00:46:23The next few days, we're gonna get him out by next weekend
00:46:29Well, he's learned his lesson
00:46:37He ought to be coming home now
00:46:40Hey, how long was it before you became a trustee anyway?
00:46:42Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute
00:46:44Hey, pal, wait a minute
00:46:46You know who plays football today?
00:46:50Huh?
00:46:53You know what day today is?
00:46:58I don't care anyway
00:47:03I don't care anyway
00:47:05I don't care anyway
00:47:14Got to have some sounds, Corky
00:47:16Some music, you know?
00:47:18Danny, you gotta get this done, eh?
00:47:22So, uh, Pick and Roach are your best buddies, right?
00:47:25Roach
00:47:27You a doper, huh?
00:47:31Nah, I used to eat cockroaches when he was a kid
00:47:36What's the ping-pong table for, huh?
00:47:38Juveniles in detention
00:47:40But you can't play it unless there's a guard supervising
00:47:42And Caruso's short-staffed now, just the same as everybody else
00:47:44So...
00:47:46Danny
00:47:51Okay, so, is that your, uh, that's your girl in court?
00:47:54She's...
00:47:58Is that your girl in court?
00:48:00Yeah, it's Karen
00:48:02Karen?
00:48:04Karen
00:48:06Karen
00:48:08You can handle Caruso, you can give me a radio, can't you?
00:48:10I told you I'd try, all right?
00:48:12This Karen's pretty cute, Dan
00:48:14You guys have sex?
00:48:16That's none of your business, all right?
00:48:21How about dope? You smoke dope?
00:48:25Take pills?
00:48:28Drink liquor? Drink beer on a regular basis?
00:48:32You give me a radio, I'll tell you anything you want to know, okay, Corky?
00:48:34Listen, kid, I want you out of here as bad as you do
00:48:36You think I like working 18-hour days?
00:48:38Come on, I gotta go pick up my kids
00:48:41You married?
00:48:43I used to be
00:48:45Okay?
00:48:47Okay, come on, let's get some answers
00:48:49You got a shrink to see
00:48:51Shrink, huh?
00:48:53Okay
00:48:56I'm kind of wired, you know
00:49:00You want to talk?
00:49:08Yeah
00:49:10I do
00:49:26Hello, Danny
00:49:28How you been doing?
00:49:31Okay
00:49:33How about you?
00:49:35Great, fine, I've never been better
00:49:39I'm sorry, I was stupid
00:49:41I meant to say...
00:49:43Yeah, I know what you meant
00:49:49You want to give us five?
00:49:52Yeah, I'll be outside the door
00:49:55Okay
00:50:01Danny, none of this is your fault
00:50:04You'll be going home soon
00:50:06Yeah
00:50:14You seen some other guy, aren't you?
00:50:17No
00:50:19What is he, the school jock?
00:50:21Senior? Junior? What?
00:50:24Go home, Karen
00:50:27Go on, get out of here
00:50:54I want Danny home
00:50:57I want him out of that place
00:51:00And I can't think about going to Ohio or anything else
00:51:03Until he's home
00:51:05Well, I have to think about it
00:51:07I can't afford to lose this job
00:51:09You think it feels good, me knowing you're supporting us all?
00:51:14How can you leave when he's still in there?
00:51:16I have to, darling
00:51:18Don't you understand?
00:51:20I don't have any other choice, neither one of us do
00:51:22We're going to have to start all over again
00:51:24Nothing left for us here
00:51:26Don't worry, we'll get us another house
00:51:28You know, maybe we can rent one near the family
00:51:30It's your family, Frank
00:51:32I want to stay here
00:51:34And I want Danny home
00:51:37You think I don't?
00:51:51Danny Cole, juvenile
00:51:53Eleven days in detention
00:51:55I saw him yesterday and this morning
00:51:58Look, Al, this kid's a time bomb sitting up there
00:52:02He's got to be around some people
00:52:05Something
00:52:06Wendy, he'll be out in two days
00:52:08No, three days
00:52:10Three days
00:52:11Tomorrow I'm at Malvista State, I can't finish the work up
00:52:14Do you know what three days is to a child?
00:52:17Look, I know sight and sound separation require isolation
00:52:21But if we don't find him something to do
00:52:24I'm going to have to file a report
00:52:29How about if I put him in the kitchen with Fay?
00:52:33You like that?
00:52:34The kitchen will be fine
00:52:38Thanks, Al
00:52:40You don't have to cook, okay?
00:52:43I'm the best cook in the entire state
00:52:46So you won't do no cooking
00:52:48You'll clean up the stove, you'll clean the counters
00:52:51The faucet, the pans, the sinks, the utensils
00:52:55But you don't cook, got it?
00:52:58The law says I have to keep you separate from the adult inmates
00:53:02The shrink says I have to give you something to do
00:53:05And you're not allowed to talk to anybody, understand?
00:53:08One word from you, I hear about it from Fay
00:53:11You're back in your cell
00:53:13Any questions?
00:53:15No
00:53:22It's all yours, Fay
00:53:27You know how to wash dishes?
00:53:30Yeah
00:53:33Thank God for small mercies
00:53:38Go to it
00:53:45Go to it
00:54:15Hey
00:54:39Hey
00:54:40Kat's dishwashing
00:54:41Huh?
00:54:46Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:54:48Fay's got herself a new cutie
00:54:54What are you going to do, Fay? Have him for breakfast?
00:54:57Oh, he'll make an appetizer
00:55:02Fay, you're going to have to beat him up a little if you want to, uh...
00:55:05Yeah, give him some of this good food
00:55:07Hey, let's have a front view
00:55:09Hey, turn around
00:55:12Hey
00:55:14He ain't even supposed to talk to you bums, Caruso's orders
00:55:17So just lay off him, starting now
00:55:20Come on, turn around
00:55:22Hey, turn around

00:57:09Come on, Fay
00:57:10Yeah
00:57:15Boy, being in the kitchen is a lot better than setting up in that damn cell
00:57:20Stop cursing, Danny
00:57:22When did you start to smoke?
00:57:26Big Fay slips me one now and then
00:57:30She's a cook
00:57:31She's a cook
00:57:38So Dad's leaving for high tonight, huh?
00:57:42Mm-hmm
00:57:44You going with him?
00:57:47No, honey
00:57:48I'll be right here
00:57:49I'm not gonna leave
00:57:53Danny, you know he'd be here if he could
00:57:57Lumberyard just called this morning
00:58:00Days with pay is better than nothing
00:58:04Two days left
00:58:09Hey
00:58:10Hello
00:58:14I'm not supposed to tell you but Rusty and David have a surprise party planned for you when you come home
00:58:20And Dave, he made you the cutest gift, I don't know what it is
00:58:22It's a dog or a cat or a hippo or something
00:58:26He tore up strips of newspaper and he made a glue out of flour and water
00:58:32You remember how you used to do in kindergarten?
00:58:34What do you call that?
00:58:35Papier-mâché
00:58:36That's it, papier-mâché
00:58:39The kitchen was such a mess
00:58:42It looked like something out of those old-time movies
00:58:45Remember how you used to love to watch those movies on TV?
00:58:48You want me to look like I'm dead or something?
00:58:56Danny
00:59:01Here you go
00:59:05Some candy there and some gum
00:59:15Mommy, you gotta get me out of here
00:59:18I'm not just talking to you, I'm going crazy
00:59:21I will, darling
00:59:23I promise
00:59:51He's so different
00:59:53I mean, he doesn't even sound like Danny anymore
00:59:57Yeah, well, maybe he's starting to grow up
01:00:04Anyway, he'll be back tomorrow and I think he'll settle down, don't worry
01:00:09I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:11I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:13I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:15I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:17I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:18I'll be back tomorrow
01:00:21All right, I know it's been longer than we thought
01:00:24But I don't feel like it's my fault, you know
01:00:50I've been making deals with myself like when I was a kid, you know
01:00:56If Danny comes home tomorrow, I'll quit smoking
01:00:59And if you get the job in Akron, I'll...
01:01:03You will
01:01:06I will stop being afraid
01:01:09Frank, I don't want to leave here
01:01:12I've lived here my whole life
01:01:18Hold me tight, please
01:01:21I am so scared
01:01:26Come on, honey
01:01:30Oh, baby, don't worry, everything's gonna be all right
01:01:37Oh, Mr. Caldwell
01:01:38Oh, hello
01:01:39We've got a slight change of plans
01:01:40Judge Howland's got the flu, we're gonna have to go with Judge Bennett
01:01:42What?
01:01:43Does this mean we have to wait longer?
01:01:44No, no, it's not a problem
01:01:46Judge Bennett will sign the release papers, just a formality
01:01:48Come on
01:01:50Thank you
01:02:02Is Mr. Caldwell joining us?
01:02:04No, sir
01:02:05He had to go out of state for some business
01:02:12He was waiting so long and then, because the dates kept changing, finally he just had to leave
01:02:20Mrs. Caldwell, I see from the background report that you're employed
01:02:25Yes, sir, that's right
01:02:27Well, just until Frank gets... That's my husband, Frank
01:02:30Just until he gets things straightened out
01:02:33And Mr. Caldwell is returning...
01:02:36Well, he thought on Thursday, or the weekend at the latest
01:02:41And who will be supervising Danny and the other children?
01:02:44I will
01:02:46I mean, well, I'll... I'll take off from work
01:02:53I mean, I just... I didn't think...
01:02:56You must understand
01:02:58Releasing Danny to your custody entails strict enforcement of the court's order
01:03:03And judging from this evaluation, he requires both parents, particularly Mr. Caldwell, to supervise him at all times
01:03:09No, Danny does what I tell him
01:03:12You know, I'm sorry, Mrs. Caldwell, I...
01:03:15I can't take the responsibility for your son's release until your husband comes home
01:03:22Whoa, you mean you think he's better off in jail?
01:03:25No, this is crazy, this is cruel
01:03:28It's not my intention to be cruel
01:03:31We're trying to help your son
01:03:34And I feel the best thing for him is to be kept here for now
01:03:38I'm sorry you don't agree
01:03:42Now, if you'll excuse me, I... I'm due in court
01:03:57So they figure they're keeping me away from all them bad influences at home, huh?
01:04:03Like Rusty?
01:04:06David!
01:04:12I'm gonna pop...
01:04:22So when's Dad coming home?
01:04:23Oh, I'm calling him tonight, honey
01:04:25I'm telling him to get back here right away
01:04:27And Corky's gonna try and get in touch with...
01:04:33With Judge Halloran
01:04:35Danny, I'm really sorry, honey, I know, I promise
01:04:42I know you promise, Mama
01:04:50Don't worry about it, it's only a couple more days, okay?
01:04:53It's only a couple more days, I can handle it
01:05:01Come on, don't cry
01:05:12Surprise!
01:05:15Where's Danny?
01:05:16They wouldn't let him come home, Rusty
01:05:19Not without your father here, they...
01:05:21They just wouldn't let him
01:05:23Is Danny ever coming home?
01:05:26Who cares?
01:05:30Danny
01:05:41I'm never getting out of here
01:05:45They're just gonna keep on figuring ways to make me stay
01:05:50It's unfair
01:05:52I'm not gonna tell you it isn't
01:05:56Like Karen
01:05:59She already got herself another guy
01:06:03She and I was in here for good
01:06:05Is that what she told you?
01:06:08What's the difference?
01:06:12Danny, you're not in here for good
01:06:16It's a lousy, awful thing that's happened to you
01:06:21But you will go home
01:06:28You think?
01:06:30I do
01:06:34No
01:06:37I don't
01:07:07Hey!
01:07:09Hey!
01:07:11Hey!
01:07:13Hey!
01:07:15Hey!
01:07:17Hey!
01:07:19Hey!
01:07:21Hey!
01:07:23Hey!
01:07:25Hey!
01:07:27Hey!
01:07:29Hey!
01:07:31Hey!
01:07:33Hey!
01:07:35Hey!
01:07:37Hey!
01:07:40Hey!
01:07:46Hey!
01:07:48Hey!
01:07:53Hey!
01:08:03Hey!
01:08:07Give me some of them eggs.
01:08:09All right.
01:08:16Hey, watch out what you're doing.
01:08:17I'll take your face apart, punk.
01:08:20All right.
01:08:37Come on, give us some more.
01:08:40All right, let me through.
01:08:43Make it up.
01:08:44All right, all right.
01:08:45Make it up, I said.
01:08:50Listen, kid, this has got nothing to do with me, you know.
01:08:53Man gives an order, I do what I'm told.
01:08:55I can handle it.
01:09:01It's all right, man.
01:09:02I'm not going to go nuts.
01:09:03I'm not going to lose it.
01:09:05I can handle it.
01:09:21Come on, man. Get in there.
01:09:23I want to see Perusso.
01:09:24He's off for the weekend. You know that.
01:09:26Deputy Russell's in charge.
01:09:28Who's Russell?
01:09:30Come on, man. Don't throw me in there.
01:09:31Call Perusso at home, please.
01:09:33Please.
01:09:42I can't breathe in here!
01:09:44Let me out of here! Come on!
01:09:46Fuck!
01:09:49I can't breathe! It stinks in here!
01:09:55Let me out of here! Come on!
01:09:57Fuck!
01:10:03Fuck!
01:10:21Come on, come on. Open up.
01:10:30He's only a kid!
01:10:32I tried telling Russell I was a kid. He said to do like I was told.
01:10:35I want Russell in my office in half an hour.
01:10:37And if he's at home, get him in here!
01:10:46Hey.
01:10:49Hey, Danny.
01:10:51Danny, come on. Get yourself up.
01:10:53Let's get out of here.
01:10:55Come on.
01:10:57Yeah, it's Caruso. Come on. You hear me?
01:10:59Come on.
01:11:02Come on. Let's get out of here.
01:11:04Come on. Let's go. We haven't got all day.
01:11:06Come on. That's a boy. All right, come on.
01:11:08I'm okay.
01:11:10Yeah, you're okay. You're okay. Come on.
01:11:12Yeah, you're okay. You're okay.
01:11:14You're okay.
01:11:16DeVries, get him out of here.
01:11:18A hundred gallons of hot, soapy water.
01:11:20Go ahead. Get him! Go ahead!
01:11:22Let me get my shoes.
01:11:24Don't worry about your shoes.
01:11:26Don't worry about your shoes!
01:11:28Oh, you're sick!
01:11:58Hey, there he is.
01:12:00Hey, give us a hug.
01:12:02How are you doing?
01:12:04Hey, I got something for you boys all the way from Ohio.
01:12:06Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
01:12:08It's not all for you.
01:12:10Here we go. Go ahead. Share that out.
01:12:12Oh.
01:12:14So what?
01:12:16I got the job.
01:12:18Great.
01:12:20When do you start?
01:12:22Ten days.
01:12:24Don't worry. You can make it.
01:12:26What's it like there?
01:12:28It's a lot more built up than I remember, you know.
01:12:30It's not bad. There's a lot of nice neighborhoods right around the factory.
01:12:32That's mine there. Thank you.
01:12:34Oh, isn't that great?
01:12:36Hey, I bought this for Danny. Where's he at?
01:12:38I'm sure we're going to be able to get terrific references for Stephen and Kent.
01:12:42They're both good kids.
01:12:44Mr. Corcoran, listen, I want to tell you something.
01:12:46What you did, keeping my boy here because I was out of town,
01:12:48was the worst thing you could have done.
01:12:50That judge ought to have been shot.
01:12:52Don't tell me to take it easy. I'm back now.
01:12:54All right, Mr. Corcoran, I'm going to give this to you straight.
01:12:56There was some trouble up there over the weekend.
01:12:58What sort of trouble?
01:13:00Well, your boy Danny picked a fight with another inmate.
01:13:02Oh, my God. Do you hear that?
01:13:04What is going on around here?
01:13:06Some other queer trying to make a pass at him?
01:13:08What do you people got going on here?
01:13:10The boy's in more trouble since he was arrested than he was back home.
01:13:12Will you listen to me?
01:13:14I'll tell you something. I want my boy back, and I want him back now.
01:13:16I understand, Mr. Caldwell.
01:13:18I'm sorry, but it just can't be done.
01:13:20Why is everyone telling us it cannot be done?
01:13:22We're talking about our son here.
01:13:24Now, I want to see that judge, and I want to see him right now.
01:13:26I'm sure he'll be glad to talk to you.
01:13:28You're going to have to wait for lunch recess.
01:13:30That's going to be about 20 minutes.
01:13:32Fine. We got two more kids waiting downstairs in the car right now.
01:13:34I don't know what to tell you.
01:13:36Nobody around here seems to know what to tell us.
01:13:40I understand exactly how you feel, Mr. Caldwell.
01:13:42Well, I don't know if you do, Your Honor.
01:13:44I mean, it's been real hard on everyone.
01:13:46Well, please try to see it from our point of view.
01:13:48I mean, we're not perfect.
01:13:50We make mistakes, too.
01:13:52Danny's a very angry boy,
01:13:54which isn't to say that that's abnormal for his age.
01:13:56I mean, adolescence is a tough time for everybody,
01:14:00especially parents.
01:14:02Danny has no control over his temper, Mr. Caldwell.
01:14:04Things don't go his way,
01:14:06he gets frustrated, disappointed, blows up.
01:14:10He's already injured one man, attacked another.
01:14:12I know. I try to tell him
01:14:14he's got to learn to control that temper.
01:14:16I tell him all the time, don't I?
01:14:18Well, that's exactly what we're trying to do,
01:14:20and that's why I wanted to stay here until the trial.
01:14:22I mean, he has a good relationship
01:14:24with Dr. Foreman, our psychologist,
01:14:26and I really think it's the best thing for him.
01:14:28Now, if you want to talk to her about this,
01:14:30please go ahead.
01:14:32Judge Halloran, my husband has a new job
01:14:34in another state, in Ohio,
01:14:36and we're... we're moving.
01:14:38I mean, almost right away.
01:14:40Will Danny be able to...
01:14:42We're not trying to steal your son, Mrs. Caldwell.
01:14:44I just feel it's important that he stays
01:14:46in a structured environment,
01:14:48especially if you're moving, because...
01:14:50well, until we can redirect his emotional patterns a little.
01:14:54Otherwise, I don't think this experience
01:14:56will be any worth to him.
01:14:58Can we see him now?
01:15:00Of course. I...
01:15:02I think you'd better leave it until tomorrow,
01:15:04because visiting hours are over for today.
01:15:06I appreciate your cooperation, Mr. Caldwell.
01:15:08Thank you, Hugh.
01:15:10You can't put him back in the kitchen.
01:15:12There's no way.
01:15:14Let him stay in the day room for now.
01:15:16He can have his meals in there.
01:15:18And get Dr. Forman over.
01:15:20I want her to see him.
01:15:22I want that kid out of here.
01:15:24It's enough.
01:15:26You can't put him back in the kitchen.
01:15:28There's no way.
01:15:30Let him stay in the day room for now.
01:15:32He can have his meals in there.
01:15:34And get Dr. Forman over.
01:15:36I want her to see him.
01:15:38I want that kid out of here.
01:15:40It's enough.
01:15:56This is Alfred Caruso.
01:15:58Would you have Mike Rains call me
01:16:00the minute he's out of court?
01:16:02Thank you very much.
01:16:14They've taken care of this, Danny.
01:16:20You know, your Uncle Alex says
01:16:22the school's a real good place.
01:16:24And Mike, your cousin Mike,
01:16:26is in the same grade as you, remember?
01:16:28You always used to like him.
01:16:30He'll have somebody to show you around.
01:16:32Danny, you have got to stay out of trouble in here.
01:16:34They told us you've got to talk to that doctor.
01:16:36What's her name?
01:16:38Forman.
01:16:40Dr. Forman.
01:16:42You've got to work with her and be as helpful as you can.
01:16:44Do you understand?
01:16:46Yeah.
01:16:48Danny, don't look that way.
01:16:50Darling, we'll be back for you.
01:16:53♪
01:17:03♪
01:17:34Mike Rains call?
01:17:36Ten minutes ago.
01:17:38He's back in court until 5.
01:18:03♪
01:18:33♪
01:18:43♪
01:18:53♪
01:19:03♪
01:19:13♪
01:19:23♪
01:19:33♪
01:19:43♪
01:19:53♪
01:20:00I want Danny Caldwell out.
01:20:02I don't care how you do it.
01:20:04I want that kid out of my jail
01:20:06and put someplace else.
01:20:26Yeah. Uh-huh.
01:20:28Yeah.
01:20:30Yeah, well, it'll be okay.
01:20:32Yeah, I'm sure there's enough.
01:20:37Uh-huh.
01:20:41Tomorrow, 7 o'clock.
01:20:43Uh-huh.
01:20:45Uh-huh.
01:20:50All right, the boys?
01:20:54All right.
01:20:56I'll be here.
01:21:02Well?
01:21:04You'll be okay, Al.
01:21:06You'll be okay.
01:21:08You gave him five units.
01:21:10Stitched up the artery.
01:21:12You know, it's a good thing you got him when you did.
01:21:18What'd you do, beat him with a rubber hose?
01:21:20I need a cup of coffee.
01:21:22Where can I see him?
01:21:24He's in recovery right now.
01:21:26He'll probably sleep a couple hours.
01:21:32What's he in for?
01:21:34How the hell do I know?
01:21:36We're bringing in three kids.
01:21:38They've got a head injury, looks bad.
01:21:40One internal and a girl with a steering wheel through a chest.
01:21:43Real messy, Doc.
01:21:45What's the pressure?
01:21:47We're getting it.
01:21:49I think some nights every kid in this town is on self-destruct.
01:21:52Yeah.
01:21:54See you later.
01:21:56Emergency.
01:21:58Hold on.
01:22:00Emergency.
01:22:02Hold on.
01:22:26Ten days to move?
01:22:28Who would have believed it?
01:22:30But, you know, I think I'm glad we're here.
01:22:34Glad to hear you say that, honey.
01:22:37That'll be Jen.
01:22:39She's the only one that's got the number. Can you get it?
01:22:41Yeah, I'll get it, honey.
01:22:47Hello. Hi, Jenny.
01:22:49No, we just got in around seven.
01:22:51Hey, listen, thanks a lot for turning on the telephone.
01:22:53I really appreciate that.
01:22:55No, I hadn't had time.
01:22:57Why is that?
01:23:01What?
01:23:05My God.
01:23:09Is he all right?
01:23:11I said, is he all right?
01:23:18I'll tell her.
01:23:21Thank you, Jenny.
01:23:24It's Danny.
01:23:26What?
01:23:30He's in the hospital.
01:23:33They say he tried to kill himself.
01:23:47You can't blame the cops for putting him in the tank.
01:23:50What were they gonna do, toss him out on the street at one o'clock in the morning?
01:23:53If his father had come down here and picked him up that night,
01:23:55we wouldn't be sitting here talking about this right now.
01:23:57Exactly.
01:23:59With 80 kids, I don't make a great parent either.
01:24:01Well, will Danny be out of the hospital in time for the trial,
01:24:03or should we reschedule it?
01:24:05He'll be out Friday.
01:24:07Three days enough time for the probation department
01:24:09to get his act together,
01:24:11or do we have to keep this child waiting even longer?
01:24:15Honey, do you understand that Danny Caldwell
01:24:17is potentially dangerous?
01:24:19He's assaultive.
01:24:21He's resistive to treatment.
01:24:23He doesn't need treatment.
01:24:25He needs to go home.
01:24:27He needs to be punished.
01:24:30He beat up two men in here.
01:24:32How many more did he beat up before we got a hold of him?
01:24:34What do you want to do?
01:24:36You want to toss him out on the street so he can beat up some more people?
01:24:40You think a 16-year-old kid
01:24:42can come in here
01:24:44and learn from isolation and brutalization?
01:24:51Impossible.
01:24:53Stop. Dr. Foreman, I agree Danny's case
01:24:55hasn't been handled very well,
01:24:57and I've even admitted to very few juveniles
01:24:59not treated in their best interest,
01:25:01no matter how hard we try.
01:25:03Danny broke the law.
01:25:05I've worked in prison since I came out of the Army.
01:25:09I've seen a lot of men come and go.
01:25:12But kids?
01:25:14The lady's right.
01:25:16Jail's no place for kids.
01:25:18And I'll tell you something.
01:25:20You know what? I better keep talking.
01:25:22Because I'm damned
01:25:24if I'm going to have any more kids come into my jail.
01:25:27I'll see you later, Wendy.
01:25:43What are you doing here?
01:25:45What are you doing here?
01:25:51Oh, man.
01:25:54I don't know.
01:25:56I just wanted a way out, you know?
01:25:58I just had to get out.
01:26:02What do you care, anyway?
01:26:20Hey, Caruso.
01:26:26Thanks for coming by.
01:26:29I'll see you in jail.
01:26:33See you in jail.
01:26:37Behave yourself.
01:26:40Punk.
01:26:44You're a punk.
01:26:46You're a punk.
01:27:04Your Honor, this is the matter of the trial
01:27:06of Daniel Richard Caldwell,
01:27:08charged with driving without a license,
01:27:10driving while intoxicated,
01:27:12and two counts of assault and battery.
01:27:15Case number 4407B12.
01:27:19Ms. Blake?
01:27:22Your Honor, the state requests
01:27:24that the court rule only on the charges
01:27:26of drunk driving and driving without a permit.
01:27:30Reason?
01:27:33We've been unable to locate
01:27:35the victim of the first assault.
01:27:38We're willing to drop the charge.
01:27:41Mr. Ains, the second assault?
01:27:43Your Honor, the witness's account
01:27:45on this vary considerably,
01:27:47but Mr. Stremster returned
01:27:49to prison routine almost immediately.
01:27:52Your Honor, concerning the drunk driving
01:27:54and driving without a permit charge,
01:27:56the defense requests the court
01:27:58consider time served.
01:28:01Certainly, Mr. Barnes. I feel that 40 days'
01:28:03detention is more than reasonable punishment
01:28:05in this case. Court rules accordingly.
01:28:08Danny, you're free to go.
01:28:14Mr. Caldwell?
01:28:17I've been sitting here listening.
01:28:20I'm sorry, Mr. Caldwell. I can't hear you.
01:28:22Could you speak up?
01:28:24Yes, sir. Excuse me. I said...
01:28:27I've been sitting here listening,
01:28:31and I'd just like to say
01:28:33that there's something wrong here, sir.
01:28:35There's something awfully wrong.
01:28:38Danny was never a bad boy.
01:28:40He never liked the rules.
01:28:43Of course, you've got to have rules
01:28:45for things to run right.
01:28:48And his getting drunk
01:28:50and running into a police car,
01:28:52of course, that's not like
01:28:54assassinating his mother
01:28:56or coming home late.
01:28:58That's a serious deal,
01:29:00and I...
01:29:02I don't know what to do.
01:29:04I don't know what to do.
01:29:06And, uh, and I, uh,
01:29:08figured it was time for him
01:29:10to straighten up time to get his attention.
01:29:12And so, uh,
01:29:14I thought, uh,
01:29:16Knight and J.O. would do that,
01:29:19but I...
01:29:22I was wrong.
01:29:25Judge Halloran,
01:29:27you got a lot of important people here.
01:29:30Um...
01:29:32We just don't figure Danny
01:29:34a lot from being here,
01:29:36except that he, uh, doesn't want to go on living.
01:29:39Now, you've had him
01:29:41six weeks now, almost six weeks.
01:29:44You think in that time
01:29:46that, uh, educated people like you
01:29:48could have helped him some
01:29:51with your psychologists
01:29:53and your evaluations
01:29:55and your probation officers and all.
01:29:58Uh, and what did he get out of it?
01:30:00Now, Danny was never...
01:30:02Well, sometimes he was difficult to handle,
01:30:05but he never, uh,
01:30:07hurt anybody until he got in here.
01:30:09That's right.
01:30:10And he, uh, certainly never tried to hurt himself.
01:30:13I don't know what kind of hell you put our boy through,
01:30:16but I do know one thing.
01:30:18You got no right.
01:30:20You got no right at all.
01:30:22And, uh, something is awful wrong
01:30:24when you take a child
01:30:27and you make him look like this.
01:30:31Mrs. Caldwell, everyone here has done their best for Danny.
01:30:34Well, it's not good enough.
01:30:36No, sir, it's just not good enough.
01:30:38I'm his father,
01:30:40and I know I'm the one
01:30:42that put him here in the first place,
01:30:44and God knows I'm sorry I did that, son.
01:30:49And all's I can do now is take my son home.
01:30:52But I want to tell you this,
01:30:54that you all ought to take a good hard look
01:30:56at the way you're treating kids like this.
01:30:58You just ought to take a real good hard look.
01:31:01Come on, son.
01:31:20Good luck, Danny.
01:31:22Thanks.
01:31:28Bye-bye.
01:31:31Bye-bye.
01:31:54Isn't it lovely?
01:31:56You have a disposal.
01:31:58Oh, yes, the dishwasher works.
01:32:06How about this carpet?
01:32:08Hey, we got a fire!
01:32:10Danny, marshmallows!
01:32:12Looks nice.
01:32:15Uh, I quit.
01:32:19Come and see your room, darling.
01:32:22Come and see your room, darling.
01:32:45It's better than the one you had before.
01:32:47The man at the store said
01:32:49it even has a balance control
01:32:51to have, um, Dolby sound, whatever that is.
01:32:53I'm sure you know more about it than I do, honey.
01:32:58Well, you like your room?
01:33:03You can switch with David if you want.
01:33:05No, no, it's fine. It's real nice.
01:33:10Danny,
01:33:12it's so good to have you home again, honey.
01:33:15And we're gonna forget all of this ever happened.
01:33:18We're gonna just put it right behind us.
01:33:22I'll leave you alone.
01:33:26This one's sticky.
01:33:28What about your mother?
01:33:30You make one for your mother?
01:33:32Yeah, I made one for my mother.
01:33:34All right, let's have it.
01:33:36Ooh, that is hot.
01:33:38I got two coming up.
01:33:40Mine are getting burnt.
01:33:42Yeah, this is Mama's.
01:33:44That is sticky.
01:33:46Say ah.
01:33:50Mmm, good.
01:33:52Is this one for Danny?
01:33:54Did you make that, darling?
01:33:56Okay.
01:34:16Mmm.
01:34:46Mmm.
01:35:16Mmm.
