high-strung.
Tom, come here.
Come on, let's go faster.
Come on.
lt's the governor's son.
Mr. Hale's here to see you.
Go upstairs.
l have some business with Mr. Hale.
What l've got to say
anybody can listen to.
-Where's your boy?
-Now don't get excited.
-Get me another drink.
-My daughter may die.
She won't die. She'll get
the best medical attention there is.
-Where is he?
-l'll get him.
Wait a minute.
He's asleep.
He'll be all right.
He won't be all right
unless you make him all right.
l'll get him.
-Care for a drink?
-No, thanks.
-Accidents will happen, you know.
-Accidents?
Your boy was drunk.
l saw the police report. There was
nothing about drunkenness on it.
Whose police and whose report?
l say the boy was drunk,
and l know it.
Here before your father, l want--
The doctor says you need rest.
l don't want you to try
to cover up for me.
l was wrong and that's it.
You don't know.
l saw the report.
l don't care
what the police report says.
l was driving and l was drunk.
lt's all my fault.
Anything you want to do to me,
you can do.
Whatever you want me to do, l'll do.
Nobody has to do anything.
l'll take care of it.
l don't want you to take care of it.
Go on upstairs and get some rest.
Sugar, help him.
Come on over and sit down.
Sure you wouldn't care for a drink?
Tiny, go home, will you?
Go on, out of here.
What business did
you say you're in?
l didn't say.
-What business are you in?
-Trucking business.
Trucking business.
Trucks run on state roads.
lf a man in the trucking business
had a contract with the state...
...that'd be pretty good,
wouldn't it?
Tell him what would happen.
Go on.
Trying to bribe me, aren't you?
No, l'm not trying to bribe you.
l'm only talking
things over with you.
You're pretty good at talking.
l remember when you
first started talking.
A place called Upton.
You did a lot of talking then.
The things you said made sense.
To me and a lot of other people.
l believed in you, l followed you,
and l fought for you.
Well, the words are still good.
But you're not.
And l don't believe you ever were.
Follow him.
Keep calling in.
l'd like Anne to see you now.
l'd like Anne to see you now,
you drunken sot!
Come on.
All right, l'll give you a statement.
This is a mess of lies.
Have the man that made that
statement repeat it to my face.
You can't.
He's vanished.
Let me ask you some questions.
Why has he gone?
Where is he?
Maybe you could answer those too?
-l won't dignify that with an answer.
-One more question.
Where's your son?
At the stadium, where he should be.
He'll play for the university, which
my administration is responsible for.
He's not hiding.
He'll be there in full view
of 70,000 cheering fans.
One of which will be me.
See you, men.
Where's Stark?
How about Tommy Stark?
Send your boy in!
Why don't they put him in?
Come on, Willie.
Send your boy in.
What's the matter?
ls your boy ashamed to show his face?
-Shut up!
-Get him out of here!
-Go on, get him out of here!
-What's the idea?
They're booing you.
-My head--
-The doctor said it's nothing.
-l get dizzy, can't see.
-You're scared.
-Get out!
-They're booing me too.
l built this for those dirty--
Thattaboy, show some spirit!
Tell him what his playing means.
You can't tell about a head injury.
Maybe he's hurt.
He's hurt. l'm hurt.
l didn't crash the car or get drunk.
But l'm taking the rap.
Get out there and play.
Show them what a Stark is made of.
l wouldn't know.
Come on.
Cut it out!
All right, l'll play.
Now get out of here!
Stark's going in.
One, two, three, four, five....
Boss, you got to eat.
You got to.
l'm the one that made him play.
l sent him in.
Sit down.
Please sit down.
-l sent him in.
-What difference does that make now?
What goes on?
-There isn't a plane flying.
-They got to. My son's got to live.
l got a call from Dr. Birnham.
The earliest he can get here
is tomorrow morning.
