Laury Ferguson:
Why are you hounding Rocky? Why are you trying to send him to prison for life? You can't do that to Rocky. I won't let you. It's not his fault, Father. He was just a kid who made a mistake and got sent to reform school. They made a criminal out of him. But he's not bad, not really bad. You know that. And whatever they've done to him, no matter what he is now, no matter whether he's right or wrong, we both love him Father. Father Jerry:
Yes, Laury we both love him. I've loved him since we were kids, six years old. We worked together, fought together, stole together. Oh, I'm not blaming Rocky for what he is today. But for the grace of God, there walk I. I'd do anything for him, Laury. Anything in the world to help him. I'd give my life if I thought it would do any good, but it wouldn't. You see Laury, there's all those other kids, hundreds of them, in the streets and bad environment, whom I don't want to see grow up like Rocky did. I can't sacrifice them for Rocky. You see, Laury, they have lives too. I can't throw them away. I can't

Why are you hounding Rocky?
00:00:04.535 --> 00:00:07.129
Why are you trying to send him
to prison for life?
00:00:07.304 --> 00:00:09.772
You can't do that to Rocky.
I won't let you.
00:00:10.841 --> 00:00:12.308
It's not his fault, Father.
00:00:12.476 --> 00:00:16.276
He was just a kid who made a mistake
and got sent to reform school.
00:00:16.446 --> 00:00:18.038
They made a criminal out of him.
00:00:18.215 --> 00:00:21.548
But he's not bad, not really bad.
You know that.
00:00:21.718 --> 00:00:24.516
And whatever they've done to him,
no matter what he is now...
00:00:24.688 --> 00:00:26.679
...no matter whether he's right or wrong...
00:00:26.857 --> 00:00:28.029
...we both love him, Father.
00:00:30.093 --> 00:00:32.561
Yes, Laury, we both love him.
00:00:32.729 --> 00:00:35.698
I've loved him since we were kids,
6 years old.
00:00:35.866 --> 00:00:38.733
We worked together, fought together.
00:00:38.902 --> 00:00:40.087
Stole together.
00:00:41.205 --> 00:00:44.368
Oh, I'm not blaming Rocky
for what he is today.
00:00:44.575 --> 00:00:47.601
But for the grace of God,
there walk I.
00:00:47.845 --> 00:00:50.143
I'd do anything for him, Laury...
00:00:50.314 --> 00:00:52.874
...anything in the world to help him.
00:00:53.997 --> 00:00:55.045
I'd give my life if I thought
it would do any good...
00:00:55.619 --> 00:00:57.553
...but it wouldn't.
00:00:57.888 --> 00:01:00.379
You see, Laury,
there's all those other kids...
00:01:00.557 --> 00:01:05.002
...hundreds of them, in the streets
and bad environment...
00:01:05.295 --> 00:01:08.492
...whom I don't want to see
grow up like Rocky did.
00:01:08.999 --> 00:01:12.996
I can't sacrifice them for Rocky.
00:01:12.636 --> 00:01:15.434
You see, Laury, they have lives too.
00:01:15.973 --> 00:01:18.373
I can't throw them away.
00:01:19.993 --> 00:01:21.101
I can't.
00:01:35.592 --> 00:01:39.001
And the very fact that countless thousands
of you are listening in tonight...
00:01:39.999 --> 00:01:42.298
...is proof to fling in the teeth
of these cynics and skeptics...
00:01:42.999 --> 00:01:45.401
...that the public does care
and does propose to do something...
00:01:45.569 --> 00:01:49.007
...about the appalling conditions
I have tried to describe tonight.
00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.064
And do not doubt that our efforts so far
have not struck fear and panic...
00:01:52.809 --> 00:01:55.642
...into the cesspool of official
and near-official corruption.
00:01:55.812 --> 00:01:58.002
Yeah, I'm shaking like a leaf.
00:01:58.215 --> 00:02:01.999
"This very afternoon, I was approached
with a sugarcoated proposition...
00:02:01.001 --> 00:02:04.001
...a bribe offered me
by this corrupt officialdom.
00:02:04.688 --> 00:02:09.001
$ 100,000 for the building and equipment
of a recreation center in my parish...
00:02:09.999 --> 00:02:11.001
...if I would agree to refrain
from further attacks...
00:02:12.999 --> 00:02:14.001
...if I would sabotage this campaign...
00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:18.858
...if I would shut my eyes, stop my ears
and hold my tongue.
00:02:19.001 --> 00:02:22.999
But the building of an isolated playground
to shield my boys from crime...
00:02:22.999 --> 00:02:24.001
...is not rooting out the crime itself.
00:02:24.708 --> 00:02:28.001
We must rid ourselves
of the criminal parasites that feed on us.
00:02:28.001 --> 00:02:30.803
We must wipe out those
we have ignorantly elected...
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:35.998
...and those who manipulate this
diseased officialdom behind locked doors.
00:02:35.001 --> 00:02:38.999
Tonight, we have in our power
to ask definitely...
00:02:38.655 --> 00:02:41.351
...incriminating questions
of these officials.
00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:44.011
And the power to demand
satisfactory answers.
00:02:44.227 --> 00:02:49.999
What really is the truth in the case of
the racketeer and gunman Rocky Sullivan?
00:02:49.999 --> 00:02:53.001
Why did the police release him so suddenly
with all the evidence they had against him?
00:02:54.006 --> 00:02:57.768
Why did the notorious Mac Keefer
pay Sullivan $ 100,000 in cash...
00:02:57.941 --> 00:03:01.001
...and what political sword does he hold
over the trembling hands...
00:03:01.999 --> 00:03:03.999
...of district attorneys, judges
and police officials?
