1
00:03:06,950 --> 00:03:08,576
What do you want, Rocco?

2
00:03:08,577 --> 00:03:10,244
What we all want.

3
00:03:10,287 --> 00:03:13,539
To not die young, poor or alone.

4
00:03:13,540 --> 00:03:14,790
Manny...

5
00:03:14,791 --> 00:03:17,501
These guys, they...

6
00:03:17,502 --> 00:03:20,170
I don't give them what they're after,

7
00:03:20,171 --> 00:03:22,590
they'll kill me.

8
00:03:23,383 --> 00:03:24,842
Hold it, Rocco.

9
00:03:24,843 --> 00:03:27,177
We don't fight these guys.

10
00:03:27,178 --> 00:03:29,728
Sure, maybe you get that...

11
00:03:29,806 --> 00:03:31,607
- Shit. God damn it.
- Cut!

12
00:03:32,475 --> 00:03:33,726
- Props!
- Cut.

13
00:03:33,727 --> 00:03:34,852
Sorry, everyone.

14
00:03:34,853 --> 00:03:36,520
- We're going again, Eddie.
- I don't know what happened.

15
00:03:36,521 --> 00:03:38,022
Sorry, Sam.

16
00:03:38,064 --> 00:03:40,733
Of course, the one day
the author is among us.

17
00:03:40,734 --> 00:03:43,236
Among us. Sure as hell ain't one of us.

18
00:03:43,904 --> 00:03:46,488
What's my brilliant line, Trumbo?

19
00:03:46,489 --> 00:03:48,741
Oh! I've got it right here.

20
00:03:48,742 --> 00:03:52,328
"Hold it, Rocco. Now if...
If we don't fight these guys,

21
00:03:52,329 --> 00:03:56,707
"sure, maybe you get that
long, happy life we all want."

22
00:03:57,876 --> 00:04:00,085
So, what do you got me fighting for then?

23
00:04:00,086 --> 00:04:03,839
Well, peace on Earth.
Good will toward men.

24
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,390
Well, you can't do that. This is America.

25
00:04:06,885 --> 00:04:10,388
All right. How about sex and money?

26
00:04:10,513 --> 00:04:12,765
There you go. Two things we all love.

27
00:04:12,766 --> 00:04:13,891
Well...

28
00:04:13,892 --> 00:04:16,401
One of your little sermons on citizenship.

29
00:04:17,312 --> 00:04:18,855
All right, going again.

30
00:04:20,023 --> 00:04:21,690
Mayer lined up the A Team.

31
00:04:21,691 --> 00:04:24,610
Sam Wood to shoot,
Dalton Trumbo for rewrites.

32
00:04:24,611 --> 00:04:25,861
I had no crew, I couldn't work.

33
00:04:25,862 --> 00:04:26,987
So, good, fingers crossed

34
00:04:26,988 --> 00:04:28,072
You wouldn't work.

35
00:04:28,073 --> 00:04:31,450
God forbid you cross a picket
line for set builders.

36
00:04:31,451 --> 00:04:34,704
What the hell do set builders
have to do with writing?

37
00:04:35,121 --> 00:04:38,540
What writers write, builders build.

38
00:04:38,541 --> 00:04:40,834
What they build, you shoot.

39
00:04:40,835 --> 00:04:42,962
Now, you make all the money
you possibly can.

40
00:04:42,963 --> 00:04:46,048
So do I. Why shouldn't they?
And why can't we help them?

41
00:04:46,049 --> 00:04:48,425
Listen to you, the swimming pool Soviet.

42
00:04:48,426 --> 00:04:50,302
Oh, for God's sakes, you won!

43
00:04:50,303 --> 00:04:52,513
Sam, the strike is over.

44
00:04:52,514 --> 00:04:54,723
And you just might try
being a gracious winner!

45
00:04:54,724 --> 00:04:56,725
You know, it's never over with you people!

46
00:04:56,726 --> 00:04:58,060
Strike after strike after strike!

47
00:04:58,061 --> 00:04:59,436
"You people"?

48
00:04:59,437 --> 00:05:00,562
Whatever it takes to seek justice!

49
00:05:00,563 --> 00:05:01,730
Hey, you know what?

50
00:05:01,731 --> 00:05:02,815
- We've all...
- Laugh it up.

51
00:05:02,816 --> 00:05:06,110
- Why don't we all take six months off?
- Oh, come on, Sam!

52
00:05:06,152 --> 00:05:07,820
- I'm gonna go on strike...
- Good for you.

53
00:05:07,821 --> 00:05:09,905
...against people who go on strike.

54
00:05:09,906 --> 00:05:11,073
Sam, Sam...

55
00:05:11,074 --> 00:05:12,491
And I won't cross your picket line either.

56
00:05:12,492 --> 00:05:13,826
Oh, give me that, Trumbo!
You're just...

57
00:05:13,827 --> 00:05:16,078
- Sam! Sam!
- You know what? You know what?

58
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:17,913
I've spent a hell of a long time... What?

59
00:05:17,914 --> 00:05:18,956
You're not helping... Eddie...

60
00:05:18,957 --> 00:05:21,250
Sam, Sam. We gotta talk about
those scenes tomorrow.

61
00:05:21,251 --> 00:05:24,086
Disaster. Who the hell wrote that crap?

62
00:05:24,295 --> 00:05:25,504
But, uh, first...

63
00:05:25,505 --> 00:05:27,172
- Whoa, whoa!
- May I have this dance?

64
00:05:27,173 --> 00:05:28,966
Eddie... You're spilling my drink.

65
00:05:28,967 --> 00:05:30,600
Having fun?

66
00:05:32,762 --> 00:05:34,597
Eternally.

67
00:05:34,931 --> 00:05:36,599
Miss Hopper.

68
00:05:38,309 --> 00:05:40,269
Dateline, Hollywood.

69
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:43,647
The offices of top columnist Hedda Hopper.

70
00:05:43,648 --> 00:05:48,778
Greetings from our film capital,
where all is sun and fun.

71
00:05:49,112 --> 00:05:52,114
Or is it? You see the famous faces here?

72
00:05:52,157 --> 00:05:56,118
Danny Kaye, Humphrey Bogart,
his dishy bride Lauren Bacall.

73
00:05:56,119 --> 00:06:01,165
All of whom have declared solidarity
with film crews picketing for higher wages

74
00:06:01,166 --> 00:06:04,001
in walkouts that quickly turned violent.

75
00:06:04,335 --> 00:06:09,465
Because these strikes were, in fact,
the work of dangerous radicals.

76
00:06:09,466 --> 00:06:13,886
Here, we see actor Edward G. Robinson,
star of Double Indemnity.

77
00:06:13,887 --> 00:06:17,347
And this is writer Dalton Trumbo,

78
00:06:17,348 --> 00:06:20,893
who is, like many of those
strikers and their supporters,

79
00:06:20,894 --> 00:06:23,145
a registered communist.

80
00:06:23,146 --> 00:06:25,647
Who exactly is behind these walkouts?

81
00:06:25,648 --> 00:06:27,483
You actually create something...

82
00:06:27,484 --> 00:06:29,651
- And why?
- ...and they reap all the profits.

83
00:06:29,652 --> 00:06:30,819
Now, is that fair?

84
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:31,862
- No!
- No!

85
00:06:31,863 --> 00:06:34,413
Our elected leaders will find out.

86
00:06:34,699 --> 00:06:39,703
Congressman J. Parnell Thomas and his
House Un-American Activities Committee.

87
00:06:39,704 --> 00:06:43,665
Communism is not some faraway threat.

88
00:06:43,666 --> 00:06:45,584
Its most dangerous agents are here,

89
00:06:45,585 --> 00:06:48,170
controlling the airwaves
and movie screens.

90
00:06:48,171 --> 00:06:50,506
Taking over its employees
and their unions.

91
00:06:50,507 --> 00:06:55,052
They need to be identified
as the enemies they are.

92
00:06:55,053 --> 00:06:58,680
Communists,
their goal: world domination.

93
00:06:58,681 --> 00:07:01,266
The front-line of a new kind of war.

94
00:07:01,267 --> 00:07:02,601
A cold war.

95
00:07:02,602 --> 00:07:05,104
A conspiracy to corrupt democratic values

96
00:07:05,105 --> 00:07:08,274
and bring about
the overthrow of this nation.

97
00:07:10,276 --> 00:07:12,528
Mitzi fell asleep.

98
00:07:12,529 --> 00:07:15,906
Hey! That you in the news reel?

99
00:07:15,907 --> 00:07:17,575
Yes, it was.

100
00:07:19,953 --> 00:07:21,621
Traitor.

101
00:07:22,747 --> 00:07:24,540
Oh, my God! Honey.

102
00:07:24,541 --> 00:07:26,125
No, I'm all right,
I'm all right. No harm done.

103
00:07:26,126 --> 00:07:27,709
Are you sure? Oh.

104
00:07:27,710 --> 00:07:30,212
Come on. Let's go.

105
00:07:33,091 --> 00:07:34,717
- Dad?
- Mmm.

106
00:07:35,051 --> 00:07:37,719
Are you a communist?

107
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,430
I am.

108
00:07:41,307 --> 00:07:43,559
Is that against the law?

109
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,478
It is not.

110
00:07:47,730 --> 00:07:52,985
The lady with the big hat said
you were a dangerous radical.

111
00:07:53,570 --> 00:07:55,071
Are you?

112
00:07:55,905 --> 00:07:58,949
Radical? Maybe.

113
00:07:59,742 --> 00:08:04,497
Dangerous. Only to men who fling Cokes.

114
00:08:04,831 --> 00:08:06,623
I love our country.

115
00:08:06,624 --> 00:08:09,084
And it's a good government.

116
00:08:09,085 --> 00:08:13,464
But anything good could be better,
don't you think?

117
00:08:15,258 --> 00:08:17,426
Is Mom a communist?

118
00:08:17,844 --> 00:08:19,428
No.

119
00:08:20,597 --> 00:08:22,264
Am I?

120
00:08:23,391 --> 00:08:27,477
Well, why don't we give you
the official test?

121
00:08:27,478 --> 00:08:29,229
Mom makes your favorite lunch.

122
00:08:29,230 --> 00:08:30,731
Ham and cheese.

123
00:08:30,732 --> 00:08:32,232
Ham and cheese.

124
00:08:32,233 --> 00:08:35,944
And at school, you see someone
with no lunch at all.

125
00:08:35,945 --> 00:08:37,446
What do you do?

126
00:08:37,780 --> 00:08:38,989
Share.

127
00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:40,157
Share?

128
00:08:40,158 --> 00:08:42,659
Well, you don't tell them
to just go get a job?

129
00:08:42,660 --> 00:08:44,286
No.

130
00:08:44,621 --> 00:08:47,581
Oh. You offer them a loan at 6%.
Oh, that's very clever.

131
00:08:47,582 --> 00:08:49,125
Dad.

132
00:08:49,125 --> 00:08:51,960
Ah, then you just ignore them.

133
00:08:51,961 --> 00:08:53,462
No.

134
00:08:53,963 --> 00:08:56,298
Well, well.

135
00:08:56,299 --> 00:08:58,259
You little commie.

136
00:08:59,928 --> 00:09:02,971
Trumbo, as usual,
you only make sense to you.

137
00:09:02,972 --> 00:09:06,308
Now, let them call you
a communist, me a Democrat.

138
00:09:06,309 --> 00:09:07,851
They're both legitimate parties.

139
00:09:07,852 --> 00:09:11,647
Yours is just meaner and duller, but
there's nothing illegal about any of it.

140
00:09:11,648 --> 00:09:13,482
- Yet...
- Hunter.

141
00:09:13,524 --> 00:09:16,485
Tell your friend to dial down
the paranoia and have a drink.

142
00:09:16,486 --> 00:09:18,820
I don't think he's being paranoid enough.

143
00:09:18,821 --> 00:09:20,614
Not you too.

144
00:09:20,615 --> 00:09:21,990
You're out of ice.

145
00:09:21,991 --> 00:09:26,328
Now, I have taken the liberty
of drawing up a pamphlet.

146
00:09:26,329 --> 00:09:30,374
The subject: Congress unaware
of a little thing

147
00:09:30,375 --> 00:09:32,334
called the First Amendment.

148
00:09:32,335 --> 00:09:35,462
They're aware of it.
They just don't give a shit.

149
00:09:35,463 --> 00:09:38,463
All they care about is this
nice new war of theirs.

150
00:09:38,466 --> 00:09:40,509
These guys love war
and this is a great one,

151
00:09:40,510 --> 00:09:44,012
'cause it's vague and it's scary
and it's expensive.

152
00:09:44,013 --> 00:09:47,683
Anybody for it is a hero
and anybody against it is a traitor.

153
00:09:47,684 --> 00:09:48,850
Exactly, thank you.

154
00:09:48,851 --> 00:09:50,519
Arlen, not near the paintings.

155
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,731
And if you think this is about
the movies, you're an idiot.

156
00:09:54,732 --> 00:09:58,360
Which is why I'm going to have
a little chat with the other side.

157
00:09:58,361 --> 00:10:00,153
You don't mean the Alliance, do you?

158
00:10:00,154 --> 00:10:01,196
I do.

159
00:10:01,197 --> 00:10:02,990
Are you out of your mind?

160
00:10:02,991 --> 00:10:06,576
Eddie, they're all actors
and writers and directors, just like us.

161
00:10:06,577 --> 00:10:09,663
They're Nazis. They're just too cheap
to buy the uniforms.

162
00:10:09,664 --> 00:10:11,206
They invited Congress out here.

163
00:10:11,207 --> 00:10:15,002
And are they all Sam Woods
and Hedda Hoppers?

164
00:10:15,378 --> 00:10:19,047
Please, let's not demonize
people we don't really know.

165
00:10:19,048 --> 00:10:20,173
I say we go for it.

166
00:10:20,174 --> 00:10:23,051
And you know who you're gonna
be talking to there, don't you?

167
00:10:23,052 --> 00:10:26,388
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Wayne.

168
00:10:33,229 --> 00:10:36,231
I wanna say one thing
about a place I love.

169
00:10:36,232 --> 00:10:38,776
No, not Hollywood.

170
00:10:38,901 --> 00:10:43,496
I like Hollywood, but I love America.

171
00:10:45,742 --> 00:10:50,203
And when we talk about America,
I'm talking about freedom.

172
00:10:50,204 --> 00:10:54,215
The kind of freedom we just
fought a world war to save.

173
00:10:55,376 --> 00:10:58,378
You want to be a communist?
Go be a communist.

174
00:10:58,379 --> 00:11:03,258
But some friends of mine in Washington
think you got some questions to answer.

175
00:11:03,259 --> 00:11:04,926
I never knew he was this good.

176
00:11:04,927 --> 00:11:06,553
You still want to be a commie...

177
00:11:06,554 --> 00:11:08,764
- 'Cause he's not acting. That's him.
- ...go be one in Russia.

178
00:11:08,765 --> 00:11:13,068
But off you go and enjoy
the Bolshoi Ballet.

179
00:11:16,606 --> 00:11:19,274
Excuse me, sir, would you like to
read about the First Amendment?

180
00:11:19,275 --> 00:11:21,276
- Sir, a little education.
- You know your rights?

181
00:11:21,277 --> 00:11:22,986
Pamphlet on the First Amendment.

182
00:11:22,987 --> 00:11:26,237
- A little light reading.
- Travels well.

183
00:11:27,158 --> 00:11:28,708
Well, thank you, Sam.

184
00:11:31,162 --> 00:11:32,287
Do svidanya.

185
00:11:32,288 --> 00:11:33,413
It costs money to print those.

186
00:11:33,414 --> 00:11:35,624
How'd you like to learn
about the First Amendment?

187
00:11:35,625 --> 00:11:36,666
This is a nightmare.

188
00:11:36,667 --> 00:11:38,252
Dalton.

189
00:11:38,461 --> 00:11:41,004
Oh, Hedda. Good evening to you.

190
00:11:41,005 --> 00:11:42,964
Eddie, darling!

191
00:11:42,965 --> 00:11:44,633
Hedda.

192
00:11:45,343 --> 00:11:46,676
New hat.

193
00:11:46,677 --> 00:11:48,477
Ah, daily, darling, daily.

194
00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:52,308
Been to the movies lately, Dalton?

195
00:11:52,642 --> 00:11:55,977
Duke. Now, wasn't he magnificent?

196
00:11:55,978 --> 00:11:59,023
Just saying what needs saying. Hi, Eddie.

197
00:11:59,357 --> 00:12:00,607
Duke.

198
00:12:00,608 --> 00:12:02,609
I hear you and your pals got a pamphlet.

199
00:12:02,610 --> 00:12:04,820
- Any takers?
- Not yet.

200
00:12:05,488 --> 00:12:08,238
Uh, would you like one, sir?
We're communists.

201
00:12:09,117 --> 00:12:11,159
He's a writer.

202
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,495
You won't get any takers.
Not here, anyway.

203
00:12:13,496 --> 00:12:14,955
Oh, why is that?

204
00:12:14,956 --> 00:12:19,167
All it says is that Congress
has no right to investigate

205
00:12:19,168 --> 00:12:22,129
how we vote or where we pray,

206
00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:25,298
what we think, say or how we make movies.

207
00:12:25,299 --> 00:12:28,009
Hello, I'm Dalton Trumbo.

208
00:12:28,010 --> 00:12:32,180
Congress has the right to go after
anything they think is a threat.

209
00:12:32,181 --> 00:12:36,309
Well, that's where we disagree
and that's the point.

210
00:12:36,310 --> 00:12:39,313
We both have the right to be wrong.

211
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,150
You wanna talk about rights,
first tell me whose side you're on.

212
00:12:43,151 --> 00:12:44,860
Russia's no friend, not anymore.

213
00:12:44,861 --> 00:12:46,027
You'd better wake up.

214
00:12:46,028 --> 00:12:50,074
'Cause it's a new day. A new day!

215
00:12:50,074 --> 00:12:51,575
And?

216
00:12:52,535 --> 00:12:54,327
And maybe it's not for your kind.

217
00:12:54,328 --> 00:12:57,706
My kind? What kind is that?

218
00:12:57,707 --> 00:13:01,543
The kind that has no idea
why we just won a war.

219
00:13:01,878 --> 00:13:05,338
It's curious, that's the second time
you mentioned that.

220
00:13:05,339 --> 00:13:08,926
See, I was a war correspondent in Okinawa.

221
00:13:09,218 --> 00:13:11,678
Hedda's son was stationed
in the Philippines.

222
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,557
Eddie was in Europe with
the Office of War Information.

223
00:13:15,766 --> 00:13:17,566
Where did you serve again?

224
00:13:18,436 --> 00:13:19,603
You trying to say something?

225
00:13:19,604 --> 00:13:21,438
No, Duke, he wasn't.

226
00:13:21,439 --> 00:13:22,772
Stay out of it, Eddie.

227
00:13:22,773 --> 00:13:27,110
If you're going to talk about World War II
as if you personally won it,

228
00:13:27,111 --> 00:13:30,238
let's be clear where you were stationed.

229
00:13:30,239 --> 00:13:34,952
On a film set, shooting blanks,
wearing makeup.

230
00:13:35,411 --> 00:13:38,880
And if you're going to hit me,
I would like to take off my glasses.

231
00:13:40,750 --> 00:13:43,210
Duke, come on. Let's get out of here.

232
00:13:43,711 --> 00:13:47,631
Thank you, Dalton. My next
column just wrote itself.

233
00:13:47,632 --> 00:13:49,424
It's a good thing you didn't
want to demonize anybody

234
00:13:49,425 --> 00:13:51,775
or else that could have been awkward.

235
00:13:53,054 --> 00:13:54,596
Manny wouldn't say "amorous."

236
00:13:54,597 --> 00:13:55,764
Hang on one second.

237
00:13:55,765 --> 00:13:58,642
Paul, two packs, please.

238
00:13:58,643 --> 00:14:01,102
- Here you are.
- Thank you.

239
00:14:01,103 --> 00:14:02,612
Here you go.

240
00:14:08,819 --> 00:14:12,739
Good God, she's everywhere.

241
00:14:12,740 --> 00:14:17,285
Your next deal's gonna make you
the highest-paid writer in Hollywood.

242
00:14:17,286 --> 00:14:20,586
Which will make you
the highest-paid writer in the world.

243
00:14:20,623 --> 00:14:21,790
You earned it.

244
00:14:21,791 --> 00:14:25,001
You don't just write happy endings,
you actually believe them.

245
00:14:25,002 --> 00:14:27,295
That's what people pay to see.

246
00:14:27,296 --> 00:14:29,673
That's why you belong here
at MGM. Right, L.B.?

247
00:14:29,674 --> 00:14:34,303
I hate to make the wooing too easy
for you, but where do I sign?

248
00:14:38,641 --> 00:14:39,683
Just one thing.

249
00:14:39,684 --> 00:14:41,685
If you're gonna work for me,

250
00:14:41,686 --> 00:14:46,440
I never, ever want to see
anything like this again.

251
00:14:48,776 --> 00:14:51,027
You won't. I promise.

252
00:14:51,028 --> 00:14:52,153
Good.

253
00:14:52,154 --> 00:14:54,865
Just stop reading Hedda Hopper.

254
00:15:00,997 --> 00:15:02,497
So, what did L.B. say then?

255
00:15:02,498 --> 00:15:04,457
Jesus, don't.

256
00:15:04,458 --> 00:15:07,210
I haven't eaten since.
My job's not hard enough?

257
00:15:07,211 --> 00:15:09,671
Your job is not hard at all.

258
00:15:09,672 --> 00:15:13,675
You think getting Mayer to sign you
after those headlines was easy?

259
00:15:13,676 --> 00:15:18,638
You have a record-breaking
three-year contract to make shit up.

260
00:15:18,639 --> 00:15:20,682
You're welcome.

261
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,896
Oh, honey, not now.

262
00:15:26,897 --> 00:15:28,023
Please, Mom?

263
00:15:28,024 --> 00:15:29,733
She really can.

264
00:15:29,734 --> 00:15:31,026
- Ask her!
- Can what?

265
00:15:31,027 --> 00:15:32,694
Cleo, is this true?

266
00:15:32,695 --> 00:15:34,571
Watch this.

267
00:15:36,115 --> 00:15:38,015
- Trumbo...
- Come on.

268
00:15:40,244 --> 00:15:41,703
Of course, you realize this means war.

269
00:15:41,704 --> 00:15:43,205
Behold!

270
00:15:43,372 --> 00:15:44,998
I had a very unusual mother.

271
00:15:44,999 --> 00:15:47,549
Translation: stage mother.

272
00:15:49,378 --> 00:15:53,215
The misspent youth of a child acrobat.

273
00:15:53,591 --> 00:15:55,925
My God, how long were you
in show business?

274
00:15:55,926 --> 00:15:58,887
Till I was 15, but it was more
show forced-labor.

275
00:16:01,432 --> 00:16:03,684
- Bravo!
- Brilliant!

276
00:16:13,444 --> 00:16:15,028
Mr. Dalton Trumbo?

277
00:16:15,571 --> 00:16:17,072
Yes?

278
00:16:19,450 --> 00:16:21,300
I'll see you in Washington.

279
00:16:27,416 --> 00:16:29,209
Enjoy your picnic.

280
00:16:29,627 --> 00:16:30,752
Let's go, boys.

281
00:16:30,753 --> 00:16:32,703
Yes, Mr. Stripling, sir.

282
00:16:34,465 --> 00:16:38,468
Nineteen subpoenas have
been issued to those we believe

283
00:16:38,469 --> 00:16:42,138
have knowledge of the ongoing
communist threat in Hollywood.

284
00:16:42,139 --> 00:16:43,598
What kind of threat is that?

285
00:16:43,599 --> 00:16:46,601
A conspiracy to corrupt democratic values

286
00:16:46,602 --> 00:16:48,603
and bring about
the overthrow of this nation.

287
00:16:48,604 --> 00:16:50,897
Using movies?

288
00:16:50,898 --> 00:16:52,607
Any movie in particular or...

289
00:16:52,608 --> 00:16:55,819
Movies are the most powerful
influence ever created.

290
00:16:55,820 --> 00:16:59,823
And they are infested
with hidden traitors.

291
00:17:00,282 --> 00:17:04,285
The House Un-American Activities
Committee has been formed to investigate

292
00:17:04,286 --> 00:17:07,163
alleged communists working in Hollywood.

293
00:17:07,164 --> 00:17:10,959
The newsreel cameras and an army
of newspapermen are on hand.

294
00:17:12,044 --> 00:17:13,795
Mr. Reagan, has it been reported to you

295
00:17:13,796 --> 00:17:16,798
that certain members of the Screen
Actors Guild are communists?

296
00:17:16,799 --> 00:17:20,261
There has been a small group
more or less following the tactics

297
00:17:20,262 --> 00:17:24,140
that we, uh, associate
with the Communist Party.

298
00:17:24,141 --> 00:17:28,186
And would you refer to them
as a disrupting influence?

299
00:17:28,228 --> 00:17:31,939
I would say that, at times, they have
attempted to be a disruptive influence.

300
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:34,108
Do you believe that
the motion picture industry

301
00:17:34,109 --> 00:17:36,152
is doing everything it can to rid itself

302
00:17:36,153 --> 00:17:38,821
of subversive un-American influences?

303
00:17:38,822 --> 00:17:41,031
No. The communists are everywhere.

304
00:17:41,032 --> 00:17:43,826
They report directly to Moscow.

305
00:17:43,827 --> 00:17:48,080
On numerous occasions,
communist agitators have tried hard

306
00:17:48,081 --> 00:17:49,882
to steer us into the red river.

307
00:17:50,709 --> 00:17:53,259
We had a little too much weight for that.

308
00:17:54,045 --> 00:17:56,495
Will you name a few of these agitators?

309
00:17:57,174 --> 00:18:00,384
Well, Irving Pichel,

310
00:18:00,385 --> 00:18:03,679
Edward Dmytryk, Frank Tuttle.

311
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,016
If I had my way about it,
they'd all be sent back to Russia

312
00:18:07,017 --> 00:18:10,217
or some other unpleasant place.

313
00:18:10,270 --> 00:18:13,606
We get our chance
to testify in three days.

314
00:18:13,607 --> 00:18:17,276
And what we're about to do
won't make us too popular.

315
00:18:17,277 --> 00:18:19,695
Okay, so we get slandered and then what?

316
00:18:19,696 --> 00:18:23,950
You answer every question
they ask in your own way.

317
00:18:24,284 --> 00:18:25,868
So, don't tell them shit.

318
00:18:25,869 --> 00:18:27,286
Beautifully put.

319
00:18:27,287 --> 00:18:28,579
Well, you know what they call that?

320
00:18:28,580 --> 00:18:30,206
Yes.

321
00:18:31,041 --> 00:18:34,543
In all likelihood, we'll be cited
for contempt of Congress.

322
00:18:34,544 --> 00:18:36,629
There will be a trial.

323
00:18:36,630 --> 00:18:38,214
What am I missing here?

324
00:18:38,215 --> 00:18:39,715
All I'm hearing is jail.

325
00:18:39,716 --> 00:18:40,883
Not necessarily.

326
00:18:40,884 --> 00:18:45,221
In a lower court, yes,
we'll most likely lose.

327
00:18:45,222 --> 00:18:47,223
- But on appeal...
- It'll work.

328
00:18:47,224 --> 00:18:50,392
The Supreme Court is
a five-to-four liberal majority.

329
00:18:50,393 --> 00:18:52,311
They think this committee
is unconstitutional.

330
00:18:52,312 --> 00:18:53,896
They want it killed.

331
00:18:53,980 --> 00:18:55,982
Sounds great.

332
00:18:56,399 --> 00:18:57,900
I'm out.

333
00:18:59,653 --> 00:19:01,154
Niki.

334
00:19:04,908 --> 00:19:07,952
Look, I can't afford this stuff
you guys are talking about.

335
00:19:07,953 --> 00:19:10,203
The Supreme Court and legal fees...

336
00:19:10,247 --> 00:19:12,414
You know, Dorothy's not gonna...

337
00:19:12,415 --> 00:19:14,792
I mean, things already
aren't great, but you know...

338
00:19:14,793 --> 00:19:18,754
If I dump all my savings into that,
she's gone with the kids.

339
00:19:18,755 --> 00:19:20,590
I'll cover you.

340
00:19:21,007 --> 00:19:24,802
Expenses, travel, legal fees, everything.

341
00:19:26,429 --> 00:19:28,181
You don't even like me.

342
00:19:28,932 --> 00:19:32,435
I like you fine. You don't like me.

343
00:19:38,650 --> 00:19:40,943
No, you know what it is?
I don't trust you.

344
00:19:40,944 --> 00:19:43,445
Well, I'd say go on,
but I'm afraid you will.

345
00:19:43,446 --> 00:19:45,322
Look, I know what I am. Okay?

346
00:19:45,323 --> 00:19:47,616
I want this whole country
to be different, top to bottom.

347
00:19:47,617 --> 00:19:50,786
If I get what I want,
nobody gets their own lake.

348
00:19:50,787 --> 00:19:52,955
Well, that would be a very
dull life, don't you think?

349
00:19:52,956 --> 00:19:53,998
Yeah, for you.

350
00:19:53,999 --> 00:19:56,125
Not for the guys who built this.

351
00:19:56,167 --> 00:20:00,671
If I'm wrong, tell me, but ever since
I've known you, you talk like a radical.

352
00:20:00,672 --> 00:20:03,174
But you live like a rich guy.

353
00:20:04,217 --> 00:20:05,718
That is true.

354
00:20:05,969 --> 00:20:07,011
Well, I don't know that you're...

355
00:20:07,012 --> 00:20:11,262
I don't think you're willing to lose
all of this just to do the right thing.

356
00:20:13,518 --> 00:20:17,187
Well, I despise martyrdom
and I won't fight for a lost cause.

357
00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:18,397
So you're right.

358
00:20:18,398 --> 00:20:21,398
I'm not willing to lose it all.
Certainly not them.

359
00:20:22,527 --> 00:20:24,987
But I am willing to risk it all.

360
00:20:24,988 --> 00:20:28,991
That's where the radical and the rich guy
make a perfect combination.

361
00:20:28,992 --> 00:20:33,246
The radical may fight with
the purity of Jesus.

362
00:20:33,496 --> 00:20:36,374
But the rich guy wins with
the cunning of Satan.

363
00:20:37,417 --> 00:20:38,918
Oh, shit.

364
00:20:38,919 --> 00:20:40,336
What?

365
00:20:40,337 --> 00:20:44,506
Just please shut up. Please.

366
00:20:44,507 --> 00:20:46,759
I'll do whatever you want.

367
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,846
Just please don't say shit
like that anymore.

368
00:20:54,434 --> 00:20:56,936
I can't guarantee that.

369
00:20:57,228 --> 00:21:00,522
In Washington,
10 of the original 19 subpoenaed

370
00:21:00,523 --> 00:21:04,693
began their testimony before the House
Un-American Activities Committee.

371
00:21:04,694 --> 00:21:06,904
Mr. Trumbo, raise your right hand.

372
00:21:06,905 --> 00:21:09,198
Do you solemnly swear the testimony
you are about to give

373
00:21:09,199 --> 00:21:11,951
is the truth, the whole truth,
nothing but the truth so help you God?

374
00:21:12,035 --> 00:21:13,077
I do.

375
00:21:13,078 --> 00:21:14,536
Sit down, please.

376
00:21:14,537 --> 00:21:16,914
Mr. Trumbo, now I shall ask you

377
00:21:16,915 --> 00:21:21,711
a series of various questions all of which
can be answered with a yes or a no.

378
00:21:22,253 --> 00:21:26,465
Well, I shall answer yes or no
if I please to answer.

379
00:21:26,466 --> 00:21:29,218
I shall answer in my own words.

380
00:21:29,219 --> 00:21:34,264
Many questions can be answered yes
or no only by a moron or a slave.

381
00:21:34,265 --> 00:21:35,891
That's enough!

382
00:21:35,892 --> 00:21:37,643
Are you refusing to answer the question?

383
00:21:37,644 --> 00:21:40,896
Mr. Chairman, I will refuse to answer
none of your questions.

384
00:21:40,897 --> 00:21:44,984
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?

385
00:21:44,985 --> 00:21:46,986
May I introduce to evidence...

386
00:21:46,987 --> 00:21:48,237
No. No! You are out of order!

387
00:21:48,238 --> 00:21:50,406
- ...my work, my screenplays...
- No, no, no, no, no, no.

388
00:21:50,407 --> 00:21:52,825
...by which you are
making this determination?

389
00:21:52,826 --> 00:21:54,410
No, the chair will rule.

390
00:21:54,411 --> 00:21:56,161
- It's critical to...
- No, just a minute.

391
00:21:56,162 --> 00:21:57,746
Your screenplays are too long.

392
00:21:57,747 --> 00:21:59,665
I've heard that before.

393
00:21:59,666 --> 00:22:03,628
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?

394
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,422
Am I accused of a crime?

395
00:22:06,423 --> 00:22:07,631
You're not asking the questions.

396
00:22:07,632 --> 00:22:10,426
If so, I believe I have
the right to be confronted

397
00:22:10,427 --> 00:22:13,679
with any evidence
that supports this question.

398
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:14,930
Are you refusing to answer the...

399
00:22:14,931 --> 00:22:16,515
I should very much like
to see what you have.

400
00:22:16,516 --> 00:22:19,309
Oh, you would? You will see very soon!

401
00:22:19,310 --> 00:22:20,686
Good!

402
00:22:20,687 --> 00:22:21,937
The witness is excused.

403
00:22:21,938 --> 00:22:24,440
You believe this committee has
the right to compel testimony.

404
00:22:24,441 --> 00:22:26,442
You are dismissed, sir!
Witness is dismissed!

405
00:22:26,443 --> 00:22:28,110
To indict opinion,
to criminalize thought...

406
00:22:28,111 --> 00:22:29,361
Guard, take him out!

407
00:22:29,362 --> 00:22:30,696
...but that right does not exist, sir!

408
00:22:30,697 --> 00:22:31,989
Order!

409
00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:34,116
And the moment it does, God help us all!

410
00:22:34,117 --> 00:22:35,784
This is typical communist tactic!

411
00:22:35,785 --> 00:22:38,454
This is the beginning of an
American concentration camp!

412
00:22:38,455 --> 00:22:40,039
Order!

413
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,623
Uh, state your name, please.

414
00:22:41,624 --> 00:22:43,959
Arlen Hird. I'm a screenwriter.

415
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,795
You understand, sir, that if you
don't answer my questions,

416
00:22:46,796 --> 00:22:48,672
I can hold you in contempt of Congress?

417
00:22:48,673 --> 00:22:50,466
I didn't refuse yet, did I?

418
00:22:50,467 --> 00:22:53,844
Are you now or have you ever been
a member of the Communist Party?

419
00:22:53,845 --> 00:22:57,139
Well, I'd like to answer you, Congressman,
but I need to consult with my physician.

420
00:22:57,140 --> 00:22:58,223
- Your physician?
- Yes.

421
00:22:58,224 --> 00:22:59,308
I don't understand.

422
00:22:59,309 --> 00:23:02,110
To find out if he can surgically
remove my conscience.

423
00:23:03,021 --> 00:23:04,563
This is a hostile witness.

424
00:23:04,564 --> 00:23:08,067
This is typical communist tactics.

425
00:23:15,492 --> 00:23:18,835
Arlen. Arlen, what is it?

426
00:23:21,998 --> 00:23:23,874
It's cancer.

427
00:23:23,875 --> 00:23:25,300
What?

428
00:23:26,878 --> 00:23:28,553
Jesus...

429
00:23:30,507 --> 00:23:33,008
How long have you known?

430
00:23:33,009 --> 00:23:35,177
- Three months.
- Months?

431
00:23:35,178 --> 00:23:36,845
Mmm-hmm.

432
00:23:36,846 --> 00:23:39,556
Are you receiving treatment?

433
00:23:39,557 --> 00:23:42,268
Uh, I don't like the options.

434
00:23:43,019 --> 00:23:45,187
It's lung cancer.

435
00:23:45,188 --> 00:23:47,538
Bad if you operate, bad if you don't.

436
00:23:49,692 --> 00:23:52,445
Well, is there anything I can do for you?

437
00:23:53,863 --> 00:23:56,865
No! No, it's cancer.

438
00:23:56,866 --> 00:23:57,950
Yeah, but...

439
00:23:57,951 --> 00:23:59,869
Jesus.

440
00:24:00,411 --> 00:24:03,461
You want to do something?
Make sure this plan works.

441
00:24:03,957 --> 00:24:05,958
I'm out of options.

442
00:24:23,810 --> 00:24:26,562
We were so young.
We thought we knew everything.

443
00:24:26,563 --> 00:24:28,147
We did.

444
00:24:28,148 --> 00:24:30,066
No, not me.

445
00:24:30,483 --> 00:24:33,152
No, I didn't realize how much
I loved it all

446
00:24:33,153 --> 00:24:37,156
until I reached a certain age,
and the roles started drying up.

447
00:24:37,157 --> 00:24:39,658
I remember thinking, "Now what do you do

448
00:24:39,659 --> 00:24:42,286
"when you love something
but it stops loving you back?"

449
00:24:42,287 --> 00:24:43,495
You fight.

450
00:24:43,496 --> 00:24:47,833
No, no, no. You love it more
until it surrenders.

451
00:24:48,751 --> 00:24:52,588
Hedda, you never left MGM or my heart.

452
00:24:55,633 --> 00:24:57,134
How's your boy?

453
00:24:57,135 --> 00:24:58,594
Fine. Fine.

454
00:24:58,595 --> 00:25:00,012
Still in the navy?

455
00:25:00,013 --> 00:25:01,847
Yes, he's First Lieutenant.

456
00:25:01,848 --> 00:25:03,849
You raised a real hero.

457
00:25:03,850 --> 00:25:05,517
Which is why I would like to tell him

458
00:25:05,518 --> 00:25:08,771
that we are doing as much
for this country as he is.

459
00:25:08,980 --> 00:25:10,647
It's complicated.

460
00:25:10,648 --> 00:25:14,110
Trumbo, the others, all have contracts.

461
00:25:14,861 --> 00:25:19,531
Oh, L.B., you helped build
this business as did I.

462
00:25:19,532 --> 00:25:21,992
We're not gonna watch
these piss-ants defile it.

463
00:25:21,993 --> 00:25:25,370
I'm running a studio here, Hedda.

464
00:25:25,371 --> 00:25:27,956
You think I love every person
on my payroll?

465
00:25:27,957 --> 00:25:30,042
Grow up.

466
00:25:30,877 --> 00:25:36,048
Then how about I make it crystal clear
to my 35 million readers

467
00:25:36,132 --> 00:25:40,803
exactly who runs Hollywood
and won't fire these traitors?

468
00:25:41,804 --> 00:25:45,557
How about I name names? Real names.

469
00:25:45,558 --> 00:25:51,355
Jacob Warner, Jack Warner.
Schmuel Gelbfisz, Sam Goldwyn.

470
00:25:51,356 --> 00:25:54,524
And of course, yours. Lazar Meir.

471
00:25:54,525 --> 00:25:56,068
You watch what you say to me!

472
00:25:56,069 --> 00:25:58,987
Forty years ago, you were
starving in some shtetl.

473
00:25:58,988 --> 00:26:02,658
The greatest country on Earth
takes you in, gives you wealth, power.

474
00:26:02,659 --> 00:26:05,661
But the second we need you,
you do nothing.

475
00:26:05,662 --> 00:26:08,247
And that's exactly what my readers expect

476
00:26:08,248 --> 00:26:10,832
from a business run by kikes.

477
00:26:10,833 --> 00:26:12,334
Get out!

478
00:26:15,171 --> 00:26:17,923
You know, L.B., I am fond of you.

479
00:26:18,841 --> 00:26:21,510
Some of my happiest years
were spent on this lot.

480
00:26:21,511 --> 00:26:23,595
Not in your office, of course.

481
00:26:23,596 --> 00:26:26,014
You were always trying
to fuck me on the couch.

482
00:26:26,015 --> 00:26:29,518
Me, trying to maintain my virtue...
Barely.

483
00:26:29,686 --> 00:26:31,437
But times change.

484
00:26:31,521 --> 00:26:34,023
Now I'd happily fuck you.

485
00:26:38,611 --> 00:26:42,906
All studios unanimously agree
to discharge the Hollywood Ten

486
00:26:42,907 --> 00:26:45,534
without compensation,
effective immediately.

487
00:26:45,535 --> 00:26:50,205
No studio will ever employ
a member of the Communist Party

488
00:26:50,206 --> 00:26:52,416
or anyone refusing to cooperate

489
00:26:52,417 --> 00:26:55,878
in our struggle
with this terrible new menace.

490
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,465
He's been loved by film fans
for almost 20 years.

491
00:27:00,466 --> 00:27:04,386
But have you noticed he hasn't
been on-screen much lately?

492
00:27:04,387 --> 00:27:06,096
Bad box office?

493
00:27:06,097 --> 00:27:08,932
No. Bad politics.

494
00:27:08,933 --> 00:27:13,062
Bad news indeed
for Mr. Edward G. Robinson.

495
00:27:13,062 --> 00:27:14,479
Thank you so much for coming.

496
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,984
The Hollywood Ten are going
to court for all of us.

497
00:27:19,277 --> 00:27:21,320
It'll be long, expensive,

498
00:27:21,321 --> 00:27:25,073
so please give as much as you
can to the defense fund.

499
00:27:25,074 --> 00:27:27,576
Thank you for coming.

500
00:27:28,745 --> 00:27:30,746
- Good night, my dear.
- Good luck.

501
00:27:30,747 --> 00:27:33,081
- Good night, sir. Thank you.
- Bye-bye.

502
00:27:33,082 --> 00:27:35,792
Well, this little gathering
didn't quite have

503
00:27:35,793 --> 00:27:38,420
the zip and zing of yesteryear, did it?

504
00:27:38,421 --> 00:27:40,589
Where are all the liberals
all of a sudden?

505
00:27:40,590 --> 00:27:42,924
At their lawyers' or psychiatrists'.

506
00:27:42,925 --> 00:27:45,375
Hmm, likely both.

507
00:27:45,845 --> 00:27:47,137
For the defense fund.

508
00:27:47,138 --> 00:27:48,764
Eddie...

509
00:27:49,182 --> 00:27:50,640
Have you been working?

510
00:27:50,641 --> 00:27:53,435
Eh. It's a bit slow.

511
00:27:56,147 --> 00:27:57,648
You sold one.

512
00:27:58,941 --> 00:28:00,651
Oh, the van Gogh.

513
00:28:01,611 --> 00:28:03,528
Got a good price.

514
00:28:03,529 --> 00:28:05,322
Eddie...

515
00:28:06,282 --> 00:28:09,159
Dear God, look at this.
Eddie, I can't let you do...

516
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,619
I'll be fine, kid, take it.

517
00:28:10,620 --> 00:28:13,789
No, it's too much. It's just too much.

518
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,793
Take it.

519
00:28:19,212 --> 00:28:21,296
Eddie, I...

520
00:28:21,297 --> 00:28:24,508
Everything that you have...

521
00:28:25,218 --> 00:28:28,512
What he's trying to say
is that he loves you.

522
00:28:28,513 --> 00:28:33,475
I love him too, the warty son of a bitch.

523
00:28:33,893 --> 00:28:38,196
Got a great offer on the Monet
if you want to bribe the jury.

524
00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:44,194
In the matter of the United States
vs. Dalton Trumbo,

525
00:28:44,487 --> 00:28:48,957
we find the defendant guilty
of contempt of Congress.

526
00:28:50,993 --> 00:28:53,294
Mr. Trumbo! Mr. Trumbo!

527
00:28:54,247 --> 00:28:56,373
I'll meet you in the car.

528
00:28:56,374 --> 00:28:58,417
Mr. Trumbo, are you
in contempt of Congress?

529
00:28:58,418 --> 00:29:00,919
Well, I have total contempt
of this Congress.

530
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,505
I just thought the jury would see why.

531
00:29:03,506 --> 00:29:07,717
The Supreme Court will drop kick
this verdict into speeding traffic

532
00:29:07,718 --> 00:29:10,846
and end the most shameful chapter
in Congressional history.

533
00:29:10,847 --> 00:29:12,889
Now, that's it, boys.
We have nothing else.

534
00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:14,558
No, we're done, we're done.

535
00:29:14,559 --> 00:29:16,226
How are you doing for money?

536
00:29:16,227 --> 00:29:18,854
Broke as a bankrupt's bastard. Why?

537
00:29:18,855 --> 00:29:22,858
Well, you owe me $30,000,
and this appeal's gonna be twice that.

538
00:29:22,859 --> 00:29:24,401
Well, I'd better get to work.

539
00:29:24,402 --> 00:29:28,447
Doing what? You have no talent
to do anything else.

540
00:29:28,865 --> 00:29:31,241
Hollywood fights back!

541
00:29:32,034 --> 00:29:33,618
This is Gregory Peck.

542
00:29:33,619 --> 00:29:35,370
A state of near hysteria

543
00:29:35,371 --> 00:29:39,215
over so-called communists in this country
threatens the freedom of other citizens.

544
00:29:40,084 --> 00:29:43,295
So the Un-American Committee
bears its tragic fruit.

545
00:29:43,796 --> 00:29:45,755
This is Lucille Ball.

546
00:29:45,756 --> 00:29:50,385
All of us agree that the Constitution
of the United States must be defended.

547
00:29:50,386 --> 00:29:55,056
But the way to do this is not by
shutting up the man you disagree with.

548
00:29:55,057 --> 00:29:58,268
You must fight for his right
to speak and be heard.

549
00:29:58,269 --> 00:30:00,979
All civil liberties go hand in hand.

550
00:30:00,980 --> 00:30:03,106
And when one goes,
the others are weakened.

551
00:30:03,107 --> 00:30:05,108
Just as a collapse
of one pillar in a house

552
00:30:05,109 --> 00:30:07,569
would endanger the whole structure.

553
00:30:18,414 --> 00:30:20,916
We'll send you home in a couple of days.

554
00:30:22,251 --> 00:30:25,295
Well, it sounds like you're going to live.

555
00:30:25,296 --> 00:30:28,632
Yeah, they got me just
well enough to go to prison.

556
00:30:30,635 --> 00:30:32,261
How do you feel?

557
00:30:32,595 --> 00:30:36,765
Breathing with one lung,
which is half as good as two.

558
00:30:37,266 --> 00:30:41,770
Look, Arlen, I heard about Dorothy.

559
00:30:41,771 --> 00:30:43,980
Yeah, she took off.

560
00:30:43,981 --> 00:30:47,492
Her timing was always amazing.

561
00:30:48,611 --> 00:30:50,153
I'm sorry.

562
00:30:50,154 --> 00:30:53,782
No, well, I know. I mean,
how could you leave all this?

563
00:30:56,869 --> 00:30:59,163
How's it going out there?

564
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,374
Everyone envies you.

565
00:31:04,710 --> 00:31:06,836
Well, why wouldn't they?

566
00:31:06,837 --> 00:31:09,298
I got the best room in the joint.

567
00:31:09,966 --> 00:31:12,468
You should know. You paid for it.

568
00:31:13,886 --> 00:31:16,179
- Congratulations, Buddy.
- Thank you, fellas.

569
00:31:16,180 --> 00:31:18,682
Who needs the studios?
I am strictly independent.

570
00:31:18,683 --> 00:31:21,560
Got cans of film,
wads of Wall Street dough,

571
00:31:21,561 --> 00:31:24,354
and my favorite boss, me.

572
00:31:24,355 --> 00:31:26,356
- Cheers.
- Cheers.

573
00:31:29,735 --> 00:31:31,403
And you, you crazy son of a bitch,

574
00:31:31,404 --> 00:31:35,454
you're gonna write all of my movies
once this Washington crap clears up.

575
00:31:35,992 --> 00:31:37,742
And how will that happen?

576
00:31:37,743 --> 00:31:39,793
I'm not political, thank Jesus.

577
00:31:39,996 --> 00:31:42,038
If they called me in,
accused me, I'd just say,

578
00:31:42,039 --> 00:31:44,500
"Yup, did it. Sorry, didn't mean it."

579
00:31:44,834 --> 00:31:46,751
So Congress then asks,

580
00:31:46,752 --> 00:31:50,172
"Are you now or have you ever
been a Democrat?"

581
00:31:51,090 --> 00:31:56,227
I am and, God, I just feel awful about it.

582
00:31:57,096 --> 00:32:00,765
Then they want the names
of other Democrats.

583
00:32:00,766 --> 00:32:03,769
Bill and Earl, Nate, Tom.

584
00:32:06,314 --> 00:32:08,607
Then I say, "Go to hell."

585
00:32:08,691 --> 00:32:10,442
Really?

586
00:32:10,443 --> 00:32:13,821
How many banks fund enemies of the state?

587
00:32:14,697 --> 00:32:18,450
Your money's gone unless you give
the names of your friends here.

588
00:32:18,451 --> 00:32:22,871
They'll never work again,
but it's the only way you ever will.

589
00:32:27,668 --> 00:32:30,963
We all know each other, our families.

590
00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:33,382
We're friends.

591
00:32:35,176 --> 00:32:37,803
What would you do, Buddy?

592
00:32:41,849 --> 00:32:43,808
Only you.

593
00:32:43,809 --> 00:32:46,061
Piss on the best day of a guy's life.

594
00:32:46,062 --> 00:32:48,730
Only you!

595
00:32:54,695 --> 00:32:57,072
Christ's sakes.

596
00:32:57,740 --> 00:33:00,659
According to the protocol set forth...

597
00:33:05,748 --> 00:33:08,250
And what does she say?

598
00:33:09,752 --> 00:33:12,254
What does the princess say?

599
00:33:19,261 --> 00:33:22,598
Shit... Shit!

600
00:33:25,893 --> 00:33:28,395
Shouldn't be any likeness...

601
00:33:28,396 --> 00:33:31,231
It concerns me a little bit.

602
00:33:32,441 --> 00:33:35,110
Oh, good morning, Nikola.

603
00:33:35,111 --> 00:33:38,071
I thought you weren't allowed
to write anymore.

604
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:43,952
Ah. No. No, just not allowed
to put my name on it,

605
00:33:43,953 --> 00:33:45,787
or get paid.

606
00:33:45,788 --> 00:33:47,706
How does that work?

607
00:33:50,251 --> 00:33:52,252
Not very well.

608
00:33:52,962 --> 00:33:57,299
It's funny. It's breezy and romantic.

609
00:33:57,299 --> 00:33:58,466
Who wrote it?

610
00:33:58,467 --> 00:34:01,886
You did, old boy.

611
00:34:01,887 --> 00:34:03,972
You stick your name on my labor,

612
00:34:03,973 --> 00:34:06,808
hand it in to your studio
and we're in business.

613
00:34:06,809 --> 00:34:11,104
Look, it is just dumb luck that I wasn't
subpoenaed and blacklisted myself.

614
00:34:11,105 --> 00:34:12,814
The hearings are going
to start up again soon.

615
00:34:12,815 --> 00:34:14,941
I'm going to get called and canned.

616
00:34:14,942 --> 00:34:16,317
Well, then quick, lad.

617
00:34:16,318 --> 00:34:19,904
Let's sell this little beauty
and split the take, 50-50.

618
00:34:19,905 --> 00:34:23,658
Ridiculous. I'll take 10%.

619
00:34:23,659 --> 00:34:27,954
You'll take 20. No, 30!
And that's my final offer.

620
00:34:27,955 --> 00:34:29,581
You're the worst businessman ever.

621
00:34:29,582 --> 00:34:30,832
Mmm.

622
00:34:30,833 --> 00:34:32,417
I hate the title.

623
00:34:32,418 --> 00:34:34,336
Me too.

624
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,171
Really? What's wrong with it?

625
00:34:36,172 --> 00:34:38,131
- The Princess and the Peasant.
- Yes.

626
00:34:38,132 --> 00:34:41,082
God, please, Trumbo,
it sounds like a puppet show.

627
00:34:41,510 --> 00:34:42,761
Well, then, change it.

628
00:34:42,762 --> 00:34:44,346
I did.

629
00:34:47,767 --> 00:34:50,101
Really? You think this title's better?

630
00:34:50,102 --> 00:34:52,479
Roman Holiday.

631
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,314
I like it.

632
00:34:54,315 --> 00:34:55,690
Who invited you?

633
00:34:55,691 --> 00:34:57,526
I did.

634
00:34:57,526 --> 00:35:00,028
She's my favorite Trumbo.

635
00:35:00,196 --> 00:35:05,033
I'm introducing legislation so in
the event of a national emergency,

636
00:35:05,117 --> 00:35:08,203
all communists will be sent
to internment camps.

637
00:35:08,204 --> 00:35:09,954
And the president supports this?

638
00:35:09,955 --> 00:35:11,289
He better.

639
00:35:11,290 --> 00:35:15,544
Parnell, I need to speak to you privately
about your employees.

640
00:35:16,003 --> 00:35:17,428
Excuse me, gentlemen.

641
00:35:18,214 --> 00:35:22,050
As I said, Bob, these are legitimate
salaried employees from my home state.

642
00:35:22,051 --> 00:35:24,719
What you didn't tell me is
that every one of them is a relative.

643
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:25,887
Which is completely legal.

644
00:35:25,888 --> 00:35:28,723
Except that none of them pay taxes.

645
00:35:28,724 --> 00:35:31,275
Don't say anything else without a lawyer.

646
00:35:40,236 --> 00:35:42,362
- No.
- Mrs. Trumbo.

647
00:35:42,488 --> 00:35:44,072
Mrs. Trumbo! Hi.

648
00:35:44,073 --> 00:35:45,991
Jeff.

649
00:35:45,991 --> 00:35:48,743
Ma'am, I gotta get paid.

650
00:35:48,744 --> 00:35:50,745
Oh. I'm so sorry.

651
00:35:50,746 --> 00:35:53,206
I got men with families.

652
00:35:53,332 --> 00:35:55,542
My husband hasn't been able
to get any work.

653
00:35:55,543 --> 00:35:57,252
We owe everyone.

654
00:35:57,253 --> 00:35:59,254
- Ma'am, please.
- I'm so...

655
00:35:59,255 --> 00:36:04,092
Cleo, we're rich!

656
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,054
There you are, Jeffrey.

657
00:36:07,137 --> 00:36:10,390
You people sure live exciting lives.

658
00:36:10,766 --> 00:36:13,059
Well, I thank you. Appreciate it.

659
00:36:13,060 --> 00:36:14,602
Thank you, Betty!

660
00:36:14,603 --> 00:36:16,396
We did it, Cleo!

661
00:36:16,397 --> 00:36:19,232
We sold Roman Holiday! Paramount.

662
00:36:19,233 --> 00:36:21,943
Our beloved Ian is just...

663
00:36:21,944 --> 00:36:23,069
Why, what's the matter?

664
00:36:23,070 --> 00:36:24,237
Judge Rutledge died.

665
00:36:24,238 --> 00:36:26,447
No, no, that was Judge Murphy
who died last month.

666
00:36:26,448 --> 00:36:27,782
And Rutledge.

667
00:36:27,783 --> 00:36:29,785
Last night.

668
00:36:36,834 --> 00:36:38,585
Mmm.

669
00:36:38,586 --> 00:36:41,296
Oh, now...

670
00:36:42,131 --> 00:36:46,760
Everything will be all right. You'll see.

671
00:36:47,428 --> 00:36:49,804
Without a liberal majority on the court,

672
00:36:49,805 --> 00:36:52,933
our appeal's gonna be denied.

673
00:36:53,642 --> 00:36:58,146
Meaning we should all be
prepared to go to prison.

674
00:37:06,530 --> 00:37:11,326
I wouldn't change anything going back.
Not one thing.

675
00:37:13,704 --> 00:37:16,498
Let's ask each other in a year.

676
00:37:27,134 --> 00:37:28,718
Will you do me a favor?

677
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,471
Hold on to this while I'm gone.

678
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:34,558
Thank you, dear.

679
00:37:36,393 --> 00:37:39,687
Your mother needs to laugh
at least once a day.

680
00:37:39,688 --> 00:37:40,939
Deal?

681
00:37:40,940 --> 00:37:42,524
Okay.

682
00:37:43,233 --> 00:37:46,736
Where's that little pumpkin seed?

683
00:37:56,538 --> 00:37:59,038
- To the Hollywood Ten!
- Thank you.

684
00:38:04,380 --> 00:38:06,423
To the Hollywood Ten!

685
00:38:07,049 --> 00:38:09,050
You're heroes!

686
00:38:43,043 --> 00:38:46,588
28 cents. Gold lighter.

687
00:38:46,922 --> 00:38:50,967
Wallet. Cigarette case.

688
00:38:55,055 --> 00:38:56,855
Raise your hands.

689
00:38:57,641 --> 00:39:00,936
Open your mouth. Wider.

690
00:39:01,061 --> 00:39:05,106
Turn your head to the right. To the left.

691
00:39:05,482 --> 00:39:07,484
Tilt your head back.

692
00:39:08,444 --> 00:39:10,612
Spread your legs.

693
00:39:12,406 --> 00:39:15,116
Grab your sack and skin it back.

694
00:39:16,744 --> 00:39:18,620
Turn around.

695
00:39:19,913 --> 00:39:22,249
Spread your cheeks.

696
00:39:23,959 --> 00:39:27,754
Squat. Cough.

697
00:39:30,632 --> 00:39:32,634
Turn around.

698
00:39:34,803 --> 00:39:36,638
Move out.

699
00:39:37,514 --> 00:39:39,307
Next!

700
00:39:47,357 --> 00:39:49,817
So the warden says I gotta do right.

701
00:39:49,818 --> 00:39:51,652
Boy want a better job?

702
00:39:51,653 --> 00:39:54,155
I put him in charge of
the whole goddamn supply room.

703
00:39:54,156 --> 00:39:56,706
'Cause I know something the warden don't.

704
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,136
Truck's unloaded.
Driver needs a signature.

705
00:40:20,349 --> 00:40:24,686
Actually, uh, he needs it right here.

706
00:40:34,738 --> 00:40:39,408
You know, if, uh... If you need any help,

707
00:40:39,409 --> 00:40:43,413
I used to run shipping at a...
At a bakery.

708
00:40:43,914 --> 00:40:45,456
Heard you's a writer.

709
00:40:45,457 --> 00:40:47,041
Well, that too.

710
00:40:47,042 --> 00:40:49,044
And a commie.

711
00:40:49,837 --> 00:40:52,588
What the fuck is wrong with you people?

712
00:40:52,589 --> 00:40:54,006
This is a great country.

713
00:40:54,007 --> 00:40:55,759
Agreed.

714
00:40:57,052 --> 00:40:58,887
You type?

715
00:41:05,227 --> 00:41:06,936
Stop.

716
00:41:10,357 --> 00:41:13,693
Well, now, if only I could read it.

717
00:41:19,700 --> 00:41:23,578
"Protocol as to return of goods.

718
00:41:23,745 --> 00:41:27,415
"There shall be triplicate
copies of Form 14-A filed

719
00:41:27,416 --> 00:41:31,086
"with Supply, Shipping
and Office of the Warden."

720
00:41:32,629 --> 00:41:34,797
You think you're gonna
teach me the alphabet

721
00:41:34,798 --> 00:41:37,258
and I'm gonna shake your hand
all grateful and say,

722
00:41:37,259 --> 00:41:40,303
"Thank you, Mr. Trumbo.
You done change my life, sir.

723
00:41:40,304 --> 00:41:42,555
"I'll never forget you."

724
00:41:46,435 --> 00:41:51,314
I got 20 years for killing me
a white man who tried to rob my bar.

725
00:41:51,315 --> 00:41:54,609
I did it and I'd do it again.

726
00:41:54,943 --> 00:41:59,405
You look down on me and I will fuck you
up like you've never been fucked up

727
00:41:59,406 --> 00:42:03,243
in your whole bullshit Beverly Hills life.

728
00:42:03,285 --> 00:42:06,746
Now I'm here trying to build
my time and make parole.

729
00:42:06,747 --> 00:42:09,124
You wanna help make that happen?

730
00:42:13,837 --> 00:42:18,007
Welcome to fucking Supply, Comrade.

731
00:42:24,348 --> 00:42:28,977
Dear Cleo, I don't
count the days or hours...

732
00:42:29,144 --> 00:42:31,312
I count the seconds.

733
00:42:31,313 --> 00:42:37,110
Sometimes I think I'll die
of boredom. Other times, fear.

734
00:42:37,194 --> 00:42:38,945
Not of this place.

735
00:42:38,946 --> 00:42:42,448
So far, its challenges
are all surmountable.

736
00:42:42,449 --> 00:42:45,326
Augmented by days of lovely boredom.

737
00:42:45,327 --> 00:42:49,205
So flat and calm in the wake
of all that churning

738
00:42:49,206 --> 00:42:52,000
ugly luckless battle.

739
00:42:52,668 --> 00:42:57,463
No, my fear is for what
will happen when I get out.

740
00:42:57,464 --> 00:43:00,516
To our family and our country.

741
00:43:01,843 --> 00:43:04,846
Not all the news is worrisome.

742
00:43:04,846 --> 00:43:09,517
Some reminds me that what the
imagination can't conjure

743
00:43:09,559 --> 00:43:12,228
reality delivers with a shrug.

744
00:43:12,229 --> 00:43:17,024
And reality has delivered
in all its beatific wonder

745
00:43:17,025 --> 00:43:21,863
to the federal penal system,
J. Parnell Thomas,

746
00:43:21,863 --> 00:43:24,866
convicted of tax evasion.

747
00:43:25,033 --> 00:43:29,162
Well, look at us.
Just a couple of jailbirds.

748
00:43:29,705 --> 00:43:33,166
Except you actually committed a crime.

749
00:43:37,671 --> 00:43:40,673
Yet in all this,

750
00:43:40,674 --> 00:43:46,179
I know I'm the luckiest
unlucky man ever to live,

751
00:43:46,221 --> 00:43:50,057
because you and the children warm, feed,

752
00:43:50,058 --> 00:43:53,937
clothe, pacify, and rejuvenate me

753
00:43:54,021 --> 00:43:56,731
by never leaving my heart.

754
00:43:57,065 --> 00:44:01,945
Love, Prisoner Number 7551.

755
00:44:07,034 --> 00:44:10,911
We're not gonna take that hill
from the Japs with bullets,

756
00:44:10,912 --> 00:44:12,913
bombs or fists.

757
00:44:12,914 --> 00:44:13,956
Yeah!

758
00:44:13,957 --> 00:44:15,541
We're gonna take it with blood.

759
00:44:15,542 --> 00:44:18,753
Whoever spills more, loses.

760
00:44:18,795 --> 00:44:21,213
And we don't lose.

761
00:44:21,214 --> 00:44:22,465
Do we?

762
00:44:22,466 --> 00:44:24,058
No!

763
00:44:30,932 --> 00:44:32,266
You lose.

764
00:44:32,267 --> 00:44:34,767
That's what I thought.

765
00:44:39,066 --> 00:44:41,025
You know John Wayne?

766
00:44:41,026 --> 00:44:43,319
I do.

767
00:44:44,905 --> 00:44:47,239
What's he like?

768
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:49,909
You'd love each other.

769
00:44:51,453 --> 00:44:55,123
Isn't he beautiful? Okay.

770
00:44:56,625 --> 00:44:58,925
- Mom, I got a new one.
- Huh?

771
00:45:00,962 --> 00:45:02,964
Okay, wait.

772
00:45:03,507 --> 00:45:05,966
Come on, you're gonna scare the horse.

773
00:45:05,967 --> 00:45:08,970
Mom, you'd better come quick!

774
00:45:08,970 --> 00:45:11,931
Edward Robinson,
are you now or have you ever been

775
00:45:11,932 --> 00:45:13,641
a member of the Communist Party?

776
00:45:13,642 --> 00:45:17,978
I'm not now, sir, nor have I
ever been a member of that party.

777
00:45:17,979 --> 00:45:21,107
I have always been a Liberal Democrat.

778
00:45:21,108 --> 00:45:22,942
But in your home
over the years,

779
00:45:22,943 --> 00:45:25,277
there have been political
meetings attended by those

780
00:45:25,278 --> 00:45:26,821
that we now know to be communists.

781
00:45:26,822 --> 00:45:31,200
Yes, sir. Yes, that has now
been made clear to me.

782
00:45:31,201 --> 00:45:34,161
There were tremendous activities

783
00:45:34,162 --> 00:45:35,621
- and fundraisers...
- Shit.

784
00:45:35,622 --> 00:45:38,291
...that went on in my house
during the war.

785
00:45:38,333 --> 00:45:40,835
I did not know then

786
00:45:40,836 --> 00:45:44,171
all of their true affiliations

787
00:45:44,172 --> 00:45:46,800
or the work that they were up to.

788
00:45:46,884 --> 00:45:50,888
It never entered my mind that any
of these people were communists.

789
00:45:51,180 --> 00:45:56,143
I was duped and used. I was lied to.

790
00:45:56,144 --> 00:45:57,727
But who used you?

791
00:45:57,728 --> 00:45:59,688
Well, um...

792
00:45:59,689 --> 00:46:01,189
These sinister forces

793
00:46:01,190 --> 00:46:04,568
who probably ran these organizations.

794
00:46:04,569 --> 00:46:08,030
Oh, tell us the individuals
that you have reference to.

795
00:46:15,204 --> 00:46:16,872
Mr. Robinson?

796
00:46:19,834 --> 00:46:23,212
Well, uh, you had Albert Maltz.

797
00:46:24,255 --> 00:46:26,090
Um...

798
00:46:26,382 --> 00:46:30,886
I knew Frank Tuttle and that other fellow.

799
00:46:30,887 --> 00:46:32,721
That top fellow

800
00:46:32,722 --> 00:46:36,391
who they say is the, uh,
commissar out there. Um...

801
00:46:36,392 --> 00:46:37,893
Arlen Hird?

802
00:46:37,894 --> 00:46:39,844
Yes, yes, Arlen Hird.

803
00:46:40,021 --> 00:46:41,771
I didn't know Dmytryk at all.

804
00:46:41,772 --> 00:46:43,565
I'm a commissar now.

805
00:46:43,566 --> 00:46:48,070
Ian McLellan Hunter...

806
00:46:49,363 --> 00:46:53,534
...and, uh, Dalton Trumbo.

807
00:46:55,077 --> 00:46:56,578
Thank you, Mr. Robinson.

808
00:46:56,579 --> 00:46:58,246
Thank you, sir.

809
00:46:58,247 --> 00:47:01,347
Mr. Chairman, I have no further questions.

810
00:47:01,584 --> 00:47:04,211
Snitch like that in here,

811
00:47:04,545 --> 00:47:07,589
you end up fucking dead.

812
00:47:17,808 --> 00:47:20,227
Eddie ought to go back to work.
He did what he had to.

813
00:47:20,228 --> 00:47:23,271
No, no, he did what he was forced to do.

814
00:47:23,272 --> 00:47:25,983
Well, the point is, he did it.

815
00:47:26,776 --> 00:47:30,278
Brave men and boys are fighting
this battle against communism.

816
00:47:30,279 --> 00:47:33,949
They are sacrificing in ways
we can't even imagine.

817
00:47:33,950 --> 00:47:36,952
And you wanna talk about some
asshole's movie career?

818
00:47:36,953 --> 00:47:39,663
I'd see Eddie Robinson
and everyone like him dead

819
00:47:39,664 --> 00:47:43,333
if it'd bring back one boy
from Korea. Just one.

820
00:47:43,334 --> 00:47:44,918
So what are you saying?

821
00:47:44,919 --> 00:47:47,629
Guys like Eddie cooperate and get nothing?

822
00:47:47,797 --> 00:47:49,422
That isn't right.

823
00:47:49,423 --> 00:47:51,132
Careful, Duke.

824
00:47:51,133 --> 00:47:53,010
Or what, Hedda?

825
00:47:54,428 --> 00:47:58,515
If I'm not careful, what?

826
00:47:58,599 --> 00:48:01,768
I had no idea you were such a softie.

827
00:48:01,769 --> 00:48:05,981
That's me all right. All cuddles.

828
00:48:13,281 --> 00:48:15,031
Proud of ya, Eddie.

829
00:48:15,032 --> 00:48:18,160
Wasn't easy, I know. But you did good.

830
00:48:18,619 --> 00:48:20,328
Thanks, Duke.

831
00:48:20,329 --> 00:48:24,041
I'm gonna call the studios.
The offers will pour in.

832
00:48:29,380 --> 00:48:31,340
Sure.

833
00:48:34,677 --> 00:48:36,345
Thanks.

834
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,482
One of the greatest peacetime
spy dramas in the nation's history

835
00:48:49,483 --> 00:48:54,154
reaches its climax, as Julius and Ethel
Rosenberg are sentenced to death

836
00:48:54,155 --> 00:48:57,699
for revealing atomic secrets
to Soviet Russia.

837
00:48:58,409 --> 00:49:01,036
The junior senator from
Wisconsin, Joseph McCarthy,

838
00:49:01,037 --> 00:49:04,205
is ramping up his investigation
into alleged communists he believes

839
00:49:04,206 --> 00:49:07,375
are infiltrating our government,
our military, and our schools.

840
00:49:07,376 --> 00:49:12,422
...because the enemy has been able
to get the traitors and dupes

841
00:49:12,423 --> 00:49:15,551
to do his work within our government.

842
00:49:15,718 --> 00:49:18,053
One communist on the faculty

843
00:49:18,054 --> 00:49:21,681
of one university
is one communist too many.

844
00:49:21,682 --> 00:49:24,359
A man is either loyal or he's disloyal.

845
00:49:30,191 --> 00:49:32,067
Thank you, Billy.

846
00:50:38,467 --> 00:50:40,135
They're here! They're here! Dad!

847
00:50:40,136 --> 00:50:42,304
Dad! They're home!

848
00:50:45,808 --> 00:50:49,519
I'm being attacked by giants! Ah!

849
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:52,480
What have you beautiful creatures
done with my little ones?

850
00:50:52,481 --> 00:50:53,606
Oh, Dad, we missed you.

851
00:50:53,607 --> 00:50:56,693
- Christopher. Mitzi.
- Hi, Dad.

852
00:50:56,986 --> 00:50:58,820
My goodness.

853
00:50:58,946 --> 00:51:00,947
Nikola, look at you.

854
00:51:00,948 --> 00:51:03,325
She got real tall.

855
00:51:03,826 --> 00:51:05,243
Oh, is that lipstick?

856
00:51:05,244 --> 00:51:06,961
Dad...

857
00:51:08,205 --> 00:51:11,833
Oh, I've missed you so much. All of you.

858
00:51:12,918 --> 00:51:15,468
Let's go inside. I wanna hear everything.

859
00:51:27,016 --> 00:51:29,517
Oh, I'm terribly sorry...

860
00:51:29,518 --> 00:51:34,898
Oh, Buddy! Well, how are you?

861
00:51:35,483 --> 00:51:37,693
I got nothing to say to you.

862
00:51:44,408 --> 00:51:46,493
Looks like prison has given us the plague.

863
00:51:46,494 --> 00:51:51,080
Yeah, well, that Buddy Ross,
he was always an asshole.

864
00:51:51,081 --> 00:51:52,290
Yeah.

865
00:51:52,291 --> 00:51:53,875
He's in trouble too.

866
00:51:53,918 --> 00:51:55,835
- Three movies, three flops.
- Oh, really?

867
00:51:55,836 --> 00:51:57,421
Mmm-hmm.

868
00:51:57,546 --> 00:52:00,389
Look at him. He's trying to sell his soul,
but he can't find it.

869
00:52:02,384 --> 00:52:05,386
I just hope he stays afloat long enough
to get the shit sued out of him.

870
00:52:05,387 --> 00:52:08,056
Oh, really? By whom?

871
00:52:08,057 --> 00:52:09,390
By me and you and all of us.

872
00:52:09,391 --> 00:52:10,725
Jeez...

873
00:52:10,726 --> 00:52:12,769
We use their capitalist system
against them...

874
00:52:12,770 --> 00:52:15,021
In civil court. We go after their money.

875
00:52:15,022 --> 00:52:16,731
- No. No. No.
- For what they did to us!

876
00:52:16,732 --> 00:52:18,399
We make them swear under oath...

877
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,401
No, no, no. Christ!

878
00:52:20,402 --> 00:52:23,071
Haven't you spent enough time in court?

879
00:52:23,072 --> 00:52:25,281
I know I have. Jesus Christ.

880
00:52:25,282 --> 00:52:27,682
Well, what else are we supposed to do?

881
00:52:28,285 --> 00:52:33,040
We do the one thing
everyone says we can't.

882
00:52:36,085 --> 00:52:39,754
Look, you're a great writer. We make shit.

883
00:52:39,755 --> 00:52:41,757
I don't see it.

884
00:52:42,299 --> 00:52:44,425
Mr. King, I'm a screenwriter.

885
00:52:44,426 --> 00:52:46,636
If I couldn't write shit, I'd starve.

886
00:52:46,637 --> 00:52:48,930
Trumbo, we can't afford you.

887
00:52:49,598 --> 00:52:54,435
Well, how much did you pay
for the script of that?

888
00:52:54,436 --> 00:52:57,272
Bad Men of Tombstone

889
00:52:59,608 --> 00:53:01,276
$1,200.

890
00:53:02,611 --> 00:53:06,948
All right. I'll write you
a movie for $1,200, then.

891
00:53:06,949 --> 00:53:08,783
And you don't want your name on it?

892
00:53:08,784 --> 00:53:11,119
No, you don't want my name on it.

893
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,954
You got that right.

894
00:53:13,038 --> 00:53:17,125
Especially if you're still,
you know, up to stuff.

895
00:53:17,126 --> 00:53:18,710
Are you?

896
00:53:18,711 --> 00:53:20,670
Perpetually.

897
00:53:21,505 --> 00:53:23,632
Jesus.

898
00:53:23,632 --> 00:53:25,300
You got any ideas?

899
00:53:25,968 --> 00:53:28,720
Well, I just got out of prison.

900
00:53:28,721 --> 00:53:30,471
What about crime?

901
00:53:30,472 --> 00:53:33,224
A story of a gangster, his rise and fall.

902
00:53:33,225 --> 00:53:34,976
I've seen that a few times.

903
00:53:34,977 --> 00:53:36,895
Because it always makes money.

904
00:53:36,896 --> 00:53:39,523
All right, when do I get my goods?

905
00:53:40,065 --> 00:53:41,399
Three days.

906
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:43,860
A 100-page screenplay in three days?

907
00:53:43,861 --> 00:53:45,695
Are you trying to fuck me?

908
00:53:45,696 --> 00:53:48,240
'Cause if you fuck me, I will fuck you.

909
00:53:48,991 --> 00:53:51,660
Mr. King, I've heard this speech.

910
00:53:52,745 --> 00:53:55,163
It was better in jail.

911
00:54:31,033 --> 00:54:32,534
"No, boss...

912
00:54:33,869 --> 00:54:35,454
"He..."

913
00:54:40,042 --> 00:54:44,129
Are you kidding me with this?
Hymie, get out here!

914
00:54:45,214 --> 00:54:50,051
Hymie, pay the man!
He's a genius. Beautiful.

915
00:54:50,052 --> 00:54:53,888
Wait a minute, look.
We got Killer in the Swamp.

916
00:54:53,889 --> 00:54:56,557
The best character's the swamp. Oh, oh.

917
00:54:56,558 --> 00:54:57,642
Women in Prison.

918
00:54:57,643 --> 00:54:59,268
Dames fighting in their underwear.

919
00:54:59,269 --> 00:55:01,562
It's perfect, except it stinks.

920
00:55:01,563 --> 00:55:02,730
What else, Hymie?

921
00:55:02,731 --> 00:55:04,232
Pirates. Can't afford the ocean.

922
00:55:04,233 --> 00:55:05,734
That's it.

923
00:55:05,818 --> 00:55:07,068
Fix them all.

924
00:55:07,069 --> 00:55:10,572
You want more, we got more. Oh, baby!

925
00:55:14,243 --> 00:55:16,619
So, what do you think
of the new neighborhood?

926
00:55:16,620 --> 00:55:18,246
- I like it.
- Yeah, this is nice.

927
00:55:18,247 --> 00:55:20,147
- Yeah, Dad.
- Well...

928
00:55:24,336 --> 00:55:26,786
It's gonna be good being in town.

929
00:55:28,424 --> 00:55:30,634
Whoa, look at that!

930
00:55:35,305 --> 00:55:38,099
- I brought you some lemonade.
- Thank you.

931
00:55:38,100 --> 00:55:39,642
Hard work. You holding up okay?

932
00:55:39,643 --> 00:55:41,770
- Pretty good.
- All right, thank you.

933
00:55:49,820 --> 00:55:51,112
We forgot the towels!

934
00:55:51,113 --> 00:55:54,157
Oh, shoot!
Wait for me. Wait for me.

935
00:56:21,477 --> 00:56:23,645
Mitzi... Shh!

936
00:56:41,163 --> 00:56:48,169
Well, there are many angry
and ignorant people in the world.

937
00:56:49,171 --> 00:56:52,674
They seem to be breeding
in record numbers.

938
00:56:53,258 --> 00:56:55,676
Now, all we can do as a family

939
00:56:55,677 --> 00:57:00,599
is stick together and remain vigilant.

940
00:57:14,571 --> 00:57:16,531
The Mouth of Truth.

941
00:57:16,532 --> 00:57:20,201
Legend is that if you're given to lying,
and you put your hand in there,

942
00:57:20,202 --> 00:57:22,537
it'll be bitten off.

943
00:57:22,538 --> 00:57:24,789
Oh, what a horrid idea!

944
00:57:25,082 --> 00:57:26,625
Let's see you do it.

945
00:57:31,421 --> 00:57:33,798
Let's see you do it.

946
00:57:35,384 --> 00:57:37,052
Sure.

947
00:57:49,606 --> 00:57:50,898
Hello.

948
00:57:50,899 --> 00:57:53,068
You beast!

949
00:57:53,569 --> 00:57:56,737
It's a huge hit. Great reviews.

950
00:57:56,738 --> 00:58:00,575
I haven't worked in nine months. You?

951
00:58:01,618 --> 00:58:03,494
Well, there aren't quite enough zeros

952
00:58:03,495 --> 00:58:07,248
in a King Brothers' salary to survive,

953
00:58:07,249 --> 00:58:11,002
but they need scripts like
an army needs toilet paper.

954
00:58:11,003 --> 00:58:14,797
Quality minimum, quantity maximum.

955
00:58:14,798 --> 00:58:19,177
You'd think that when the artistic
ambitions of a movie are non-existent,

956
00:58:19,178 --> 00:58:21,929
the work would be tossed off in a week.

957
00:58:21,930 --> 00:58:25,683
But consistently pleasing
two former pinball salesmen

958
00:58:25,684 --> 00:58:28,603
turns out to be a high hurdle indeed.

959
00:58:28,604 --> 00:58:31,814
And I've become a stranger
in my own house.

960
00:58:31,815 --> 00:58:36,944
Every workweek is seven days.
Every day is 18 hours.

961
00:58:36,945 --> 00:58:40,115
Every minute, I'm further behind.

962
00:58:40,616 --> 00:58:43,159
They need five of you.

963
00:58:46,205 --> 00:58:49,123
Okay, the only question
is, can these pinkos write?

964
00:58:49,124 --> 00:58:52,001
Well, the dapper gentleman
in the gray suit

965
00:58:52,002 --> 00:58:54,295
is Ian McLellan Hunter.

966
00:58:54,296 --> 00:58:55,504
Guy who wrote Roman Holiday.

967
00:58:55,505 --> 00:58:57,381
Guy who just got subpoenaed.

968
00:58:57,382 --> 00:58:59,884
Guy who just got nominated
for an Academy Award.

969
00:58:59,885 --> 00:59:03,054
Everyone at that table's been nominated.

970
00:59:03,347 --> 00:59:07,975
There's Alvah Bessie,
and Adrian Scott. Arlen Hird.

971
00:59:07,976 --> 00:59:12,363
And Ring Lardner, Jr.
and Albert Maltz and...

972
00:59:14,816 --> 00:59:16,400
Um...

973
00:59:16,401 --> 00:59:18,319
It'll be like this.

974
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:20,655
I'll find the writer and work with him.

975
00:59:20,656 --> 00:59:22,698
He'll deliver the script to me.

976
00:59:22,699 --> 00:59:24,325
If it's good, I'll give it to you.

977
00:59:24,326 --> 00:59:27,828
If it needs work, I'll fix it.

978
00:59:27,829 --> 00:59:30,081
No one gets paid until you're happy.

979
00:59:30,082 --> 00:59:33,835
And these writers, they're...
They're all...

980
00:59:34,336 --> 00:59:36,087
I mean, they're all black...

981
00:59:36,088 --> 00:59:37,171
Blacklisted.

982
00:59:37,172 --> 00:59:39,014
Jesus, you're such a chicken-shit.

983
00:59:40,008 --> 00:59:42,051
You know, we're at war
with the communists.

984
00:59:42,052 --> 00:59:44,220
- No we're not.
- It's a new kind of war.

985
00:59:44,221 --> 00:59:46,514
Yeah, if it doesn't exist, very new.

986
00:59:46,515 --> 00:59:49,558
What about the Rosenbergs?

987
00:59:49,559 --> 00:59:50,685
They stole the atom bomb.

988
00:59:50,686 --> 00:59:53,688
They didn't steal it off
a fucking camera truck.

989
00:59:54,106 --> 00:59:57,776
So look, we bought a gorilla suit.

990
00:59:58,860 --> 01:00:00,570
We gotta use it.

991
01:00:04,366 --> 01:00:05,867
Oh.

992
01:00:06,618 --> 01:00:07,702
Well.

993
01:00:07,703 --> 01:00:09,370
So, you had five jobs.

994
01:00:09,371 --> 01:00:10,454
Mmm-hmm.

995
01:00:10,455 --> 01:00:12,540
And now we got them and now you got none?

996
01:00:12,541 --> 01:00:16,377
Oh, now I'm free to get five
more jobs and five more writers.

997
01:00:16,378 --> 01:00:20,423
And you each get five more jobs
and five more writers and so on.

998
01:00:20,424 --> 01:00:23,217
To keep that going, we'd have
to write every script in the business.

999
01:00:23,218 --> 01:00:27,563
Oh, Arlen, what a devious lad.

1000
01:00:28,557 --> 01:00:31,267
So who wants to write a gorilla movie?

1001
01:00:31,268 --> 01:00:33,060
Who doesn't?

1002
01:00:33,061 --> 01:00:36,439
We now work at midnight

1003
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:40,944
in thick fog among strangers.

1004
01:00:42,571 --> 01:00:44,405
Not literally.

1005
01:00:44,406 --> 01:00:46,407
We're running a family business.

1006
01:00:46,408 --> 01:00:49,076
We'll be adding new phone lines,

1007
01:00:49,077 --> 01:00:53,080
and when answering, never say,
"Trumbo residence."

1008
01:00:53,081 --> 01:00:57,418
I'll be writing for various producers
under different names.

1009
01:00:57,419 --> 01:00:59,920
Whomever they ask for, you come find me.

1010
01:00:59,921 --> 01:01:01,589
Or take a message.

1011
01:01:06,762 --> 01:01:08,054
Hello?

1012
01:01:08,055 --> 01:01:09,263
Is John Abbott there?

1013
01:01:09,264 --> 01:01:10,848
No, sir, may I take a message?

1014
01:01:10,849 --> 01:01:14,568
The door must be answered at all hours.

1015
01:01:16,146 --> 01:01:19,774
Got a pickup for Sally Stubblefield.

1016
01:01:22,486 --> 01:01:24,529
Can I get your mom to sign?

1017
01:01:28,658 --> 01:01:30,201
Thank you.

1018
01:01:32,454 --> 01:01:36,123
Dictation, shorthand
and typing will be learned.

1019
01:01:36,124 --> 01:01:40,461
Those of legal age will have one
of the most important jobs imaginable.

1020
01:01:40,462 --> 01:01:41,963
Courier.

1021
01:01:42,381 --> 01:01:47,051
Scripts must be delivered to producers
without raising suspicion.

1022
01:01:47,052 --> 01:01:50,305
Any questions? Concerns?

1023
01:01:50,389 --> 01:01:52,473
- Yes, Nikola.
- Is there a schedule?

1024
01:01:52,474 --> 01:01:53,641
A what?

1025
01:01:53,642 --> 01:01:54,809
I need to know when I can do homework.

1026
01:01:54,810 --> 01:01:58,229
And I'm part of a fundraising committee
for Negro voting rights.

1027
01:01:58,230 --> 01:02:01,649
Plus, every other Friday,
we have meetings for Student Council.

1028
01:02:01,650 --> 01:02:03,067
I'm... I have to...

1029
01:02:03,068 --> 01:02:05,768
Niki, we'll figure
something out, sweetheart.

1030
01:02:05,821 --> 01:02:07,322
Won't we?

1031
01:02:08,865 --> 01:02:12,660
And protests continued
as the Supreme Court may soon take up

1032
01:02:12,661 --> 01:02:14,995
the issue of racial segregation.

1033
01:02:14,996 --> 01:02:19,166
Negros in Southern towns and cities have
taken to the streets in large numbers.

1034
01:02:19,167 --> 01:02:22,586
All under close scrutiny
by local law enforcement.

1035
01:02:22,587 --> 01:02:26,507
There have been unconfirmed reports
of disturbances and rioting.

1036
01:02:26,508 --> 01:02:30,386
But it is not clear if the violence
was initiated by protesters...

1037
01:02:30,387 --> 01:02:32,054
Nikola!

1038
01:02:32,055 --> 01:02:33,722
...or white vigilante groups.

1039
01:02:33,723 --> 01:02:36,392
Beyond the South, through the nation...

1040
01:02:36,393 --> 01:02:38,769
Now, there you go.

1041
01:02:38,770 --> 01:02:41,522
A few mistakes, not many.

1042
01:02:41,565 --> 01:02:42,690
All right.

1043
01:02:42,691 --> 01:02:45,609
...all top-salaried
government officials

1044
01:02:45,610 --> 01:02:48,362
should make a full public statement
of their income...

1045
01:02:48,363 --> 01:02:52,033
This concludes our program
scheduled for today.

1046
01:03:16,641 --> 01:03:20,144
Which one is Graham Tauper?

1047
01:03:21,396 --> 01:03:22,938
Nympho Nun.

1048
01:03:22,939 --> 01:03:24,190
Oh.

1049
01:03:24,191 --> 01:03:25,775
Great job.

1050
01:03:26,109 --> 01:03:29,612
Uh, Elwood Carr, Murder at the Circus.

1051
01:03:29,613 --> 01:03:31,572
It needs work. I knew the clown did it.

1052
01:03:31,573 --> 01:03:33,741
It's always the clown.

1053
01:03:34,409 --> 01:03:37,077
So you are The Alien and the Farm Girl.

1054
01:03:37,078 --> 01:03:38,579
Yeah.

1055
01:03:38,663 --> 01:03:42,625
So you wrote the alien talking
about the rights of the worker.

1056
01:03:42,792 --> 01:03:45,461
The pathology of capitalism.

1057
01:03:45,587 --> 01:03:48,255
The complacency of the bourgeoisie.

1058
01:03:48,256 --> 01:03:50,799
I don't even know what it is
and I fucking hate it.

1059
01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:52,635
Well, the idea was to use the...

1060
01:03:52,636 --> 01:03:54,345
I paid you to write a script about

1061
01:03:54,346 --> 01:03:58,974
a guy with a giant bug head
shtupping a girl in a hayloft.

1062
01:03:58,975 --> 01:04:00,267
And you write shit

1063
01:04:00,268 --> 01:04:04,188
that's gonna get me
subpoenaed, and stinks!

1064
01:04:04,981 --> 01:04:06,816
Fix it!

1065
01:04:07,150 --> 01:04:08,776
Well, fuck Frank King.

1066
01:04:08,777 --> 01:04:11,612
I said, until he's happy, I'd rewrite.

1067
01:04:11,613 --> 01:04:15,366
So you're gonna stay up
with that all night, for that crap?

1068
01:04:15,367 --> 01:04:16,450
For what?

1069
01:04:16,451 --> 01:04:19,119
To get it to his high literary
and political standards?

1070
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,957
Well, it shouldn't be to anyone's
political standards.

1071
01:04:22,958 --> 01:04:25,793
It's The Alien and the Farm Girl,
for Christ's sake.

1072
01:04:25,794 --> 01:04:27,211
What the hell were you thinking?

1073
01:04:27,212 --> 01:04:28,629
I was thinking.

1074
01:04:28,630 --> 01:04:32,132
That's why I'm a writer.
To say things that matter.

1075
01:04:32,133 --> 01:04:33,551
Remember that?

1076
01:04:33,552 --> 01:04:37,805
I was a reporter. I was
nominated for a Pulitzer.

1077
01:04:37,806 --> 01:04:41,225
I fought in Spain,
and I know Ernest Hemingway.

1078
01:04:41,226 --> 01:04:44,061
- I actually... I know him.
- Oh, bullshit.

1079
01:04:44,062 --> 01:04:45,312
And he knows me.

1080
01:04:45,313 --> 01:04:47,815
If I walked into a bar in Paris, he...

1081
01:04:47,816 --> 01:04:49,233
Maybe not my name, but he'll...

1082
01:04:49,234 --> 01:04:50,359
I'll get a wave.

1083
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:51,819
Yeah.

1084
01:04:51,820 --> 01:04:55,323
You... You won the
National fucking Book Award.

1085
01:04:55,407 --> 01:04:57,291
I mean, what are we doing?

1086
01:05:01,538 --> 01:05:03,088
Okay, so the alien...

1087
01:05:03,498 --> 01:05:05,666
The alien impregnates the farm girl.

1088
01:05:05,667 --> 01:05:06,834
- Right.
- Why?

1089
01:05:06,835 --> 01:05:10,379
Because he wants to inseminate her
and propagate a new species

1090
01:05:10,380 --> 01:05:11,672
- on Earth and take over?
- No.

1091
01:05:11,673 --> 01:05:15,676
Because she reminds him
of the girl he left behind.

1092
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:16,885
But he's got a bug head.

1093
01:05:16,886 --> 01:05:19,096
His girlfriend's probably got
a bug head back home.

1094
01:05:19,097 --> 01:05:21,390
You don't get hung up
on the looks of someone.

1095
01:05:21,391 --> 01:05:23,391
He's falling in love with her.

1096
01:05:23,852 --> 01:05:25,352
Uh, okay.

1097
01:05:25,353 --> 01:05:28,106
You're over-thinking.

1098
01:05:32,277 --> 01:05:34,194
- Are you all right?
- Yeah.

1099
01:05:34,195 --> 01:05:36,030
You want to do this later?

1100
01:05:36,031 --> 01:05:38,081
No. Go, please.

1101
01:05:40,869 --> 01:05:42,369
All right.

1102
01:05:42,370 --> 01:05:46,540
I mean, do you ever miss
writing something...

1103
01:05:46,541 --> 01:05:48,417
Forget great, just good?

1104
01:05:49,210 --> 01:05:52,547
I mean, you must have ideas still, right?

1105
01:05:52,922 --> 01:05:54,798
I've got a few.

1106
01:05:54,799 --> 01:05:57,801
There's one that won't go away.

1107
01:05:57,802 --> 01:06:03,599
Cleo and I are in Mexico
at a bullfight years ago.

1108
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,769
And the bull dies.

1109
01:06:06,770 --> 01:06:11,106
And, uh, thousands of people
are just cheering.

1110
01:06:11,107 --> 01:06:13,067
Three weren't.

1111
01:06:13,068 --> 01:06:18,447
Cleo, me and this young boy down front,

1112
01:06:19,949 --> 01:06:22,118
crying.

1113
01:06:23,995 --> 01:06:26,622
Always wondered why.

1114
01:06:28,124 --> 01:06:31,002
Well, you
write it and you'll know.

1115
01:06:32,629 --> 01:06:37,925
But please promise me,
not for Frank fucking King.

1116
01:06:38,677 --> 01:06:40,352
Please.

1117
01:06:41,596 --> 01:06:45,391
To present the writing awards,
here is an actor who also reads.

1118
01:06:45,392 --> 01:06:46,892
Mr. Kirk Douglas.

1119
01:06:46,893 --> 01:06:49,937
Niki, hurry!

1120
01:06:49,938 --> 01:06:52,106
Who's doing it?

1121
01:06:52,107 --> 01:06:53,565
Kirk Douglas!

1122
01:06:53,566 --> 01:06:55,516
I'm coming, I'm coming!

1123
01:06:58,905 --> 01:07:00,698
The envelope.

1124
01:07:02,450 --> 01:07:05,744
And the Oscar goes to

1125
01:07:05,745 --> 01:07:08,664
Roman Holiday by Ian McLellan Hunter.

1126
01:07:08,665 --> 01:07:13,001
Yes! That's you, Dad, that's you!

1127
01:07:13,002 --> 01:07:15,637
Dad, that is fantastic!

1128
01:07:19,551 --> 01:07:22,720
This is accepted on behalf
of Ian McLellan Hunter.

1129
01:07:22,721 --> 01:07:25,313
So do we get to be happy now?

1130
01:07:36,317 --> 01:07:38,986
I don't want it.

1131
01:07:38,987 --> 01:07:41,029
Well, I don't want it.

1132
01:07:41,030 --> 01:07:42,823
Your name's on it.

1133
01:07:43,658 --> 01:07:45,200
You wrote it.

1134
01:07:45,201 --> 01:07:47,851
They gave it to you.

1135
01:07:48,830 --> 01:07:51,374
And it's done me wonders.

1136
01:07:52,625 --> 01:07:54,835
Here's the gorilla script.

1137
01:07:54,961 --> 01:07:56,253
Huh.

1138
01:07:56,254 --> 01:07:57,629
- Hey, Dad.
- Ah?

1139
01:07:57,630 --> 01:07:59,339
Phone for you.

1140
01:07:59,340 --> 01:08:01,049
For which name?

1141
01:08:01,050 --> 01:08:03,510
No, you. Some guy named Buddy Ross.

1142
01:08:03,511 --> 01:08:05,012
Huh.

1143
01:08:06,222 --> 01:08:11,602
So, is the rumor true?
You wrote Roman Holiday?

1144
01:08:13,938 --> 01:08:16,482
What can I do for you, Buddy?

1145
01:08:16,608 --> 01:08:20,944
My movies have all bombed.
Dug me into a hole.

1146
01:08:20,945 --> 01:08:22,863
I finally got something going.

1147
01:08:22,864 --> 01:08:24,072
Classy.

1148
01:08:24,073 --> 01:08:28,035
Three big stars. The script...

1149
01:08:29,245 --> 01:08:32,206
What script? There is no script.

1150
01:08:32,207 --> 01:08:34,750
I got 11 writers who fucked me
and now the actors are gonna pull out.

1151
01:08:34,751 --> 01:08:39,213
And if they do, I lose everything.

1152
01:08:39,339 --> 01:08:41,799
When do you shoot?

1153
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,634
Ten days.

1154
01:08:44,385 --> 01:08:46,304
Is there anything?

1155
01:08:52,143 --> 01:08:55,020
There'd be no credit, obviously.

1156
01:08:55,021 --> 01:08:57,523
I can't pay you till we start shooting.

1157
01:09:00,652 --> 01:09:03,988
I wouldn't blame you
if you spit in my face.

1158
01:09:04,614 --> 01:09:07,491
But we did good stuff back then.

1159
01:09:08,451 --> 01:09:10,494
We really did.

1160
01:09:13,790 --> 01:09:15,624
Please.

1161
01:09:17,919 --> 01:09:22,256
I owe the King Brothers a rewrite.

1162
01:09:22,257 --> 01:09:24,383
And I can't do both.

1163
01:09:25,093 --> 01:09:28,220
Here it is. I need you to take over.

1164
01:09:28,930 --> 01:09:30,806
So you can help that
great guy, Buddy Ross.

1165
01:09:30,807 --> 01:09:31,890
Mmm-mmm.

1166
01:09:31,891 --> 01:09:34,226
So we can keep tearing down the blacklist.

1167
01:09:34,227 --> 01:09:36,436
Oh, Jesus, here we go.

1168
01:09:36,437 --> 01:09:39,147
This is going to be a very big movie,
and if Buddy gets a good script...

1169
01:09:39,148 --> 01:09:40,232
Which you're gonna give him.

1170
01:09:40,233 --> 01:09:41,942
No, which I am going to sell him.

1171
01:09:41,943 --> 01:09:43,569
For money, 'cause that's why
we did all of this, right?

1172
01:09:43,570 --> 01:09:44,695
Was for the money.

1173
01:09:44,696 --> 01:09:47,072
Why can you not see this?

1174
01:09:47,073 --> 01:09:51,326
If we get one big movie,
we can get all the big movies.

1175
01:09:51,327 --> 01:09:54,663
And then this whole rotten thing
could collapse on the sheer irony

1176
01:09:54,664 --> 01:09:57,291
that every unemployable
writer is employed.

1177
01:09:57,292 --> 01:09:59,543
Jesus Christ, do you
have to say everything

1178
01:09:59,544 --> 01:10:01,920
like it's going to be
chiseled into a rock?

1179
01:10:01,921 --> 01:10:04,298
I'm not gonna help you help Buddy Ross!

1180
01:10:04,299 --> 01:10:05,841
God's sake!

1181
01:10:05,842 --> 01:10:07,593
- You are against every...
- No, I...

1182
01:10:07,594 --> 01:10:10,012
- ...solid idea that comes up.
- Let's do something!

1183
01:10:10,013 --> 01:10:11,763
These fuckers did things!

1184
01:10:11,764 --> 01:10:15,100
We should be suing that
cockroach into the ground

1185
01:10:15,101 --> 01:10:17,227
- along with those congressmen...
- There's an idea.

1186
01:10:17,228 --> 01:10:18,313
- Yes, and the producers!
- Very good one.

1187
01:10:18,314 --> 01:10:19,814
- Yes, and the studios!
- That'll be better.

1188
01:10:19,815 --> 01:10:21,774
- We should sue them!
- Oh, yes, brilliant!

1189
01:10:21,775 --> 01:10:24,277
Keep losing. Give all of your money
away to lawyers!

1190
01:10:24,278 --> 01:10:25,945
I'd rather lose for the right reasons.

1191
01:10:25,946 --> 01:10:27,113
Why?

1192
01:10:27,114 --> 01:10:29,490
It's still losing.

1193
01:10:29,491 --> 01:10:34,412
You lose. I lose. We all lose!

1194
01:10:34,413 --> 01:10:36,331
Don't you see that?

1195
01:10:36,332 --> 01:10:40,377
And the whole goddamn country
stays scared and dead.

1196
01:10:40,544 --> 01:10:43,087
Well, you really think you can
go on living like this forever?

1197
01:10:43,088 --> 01:10:45,382
Well, I'm not gonna have to.

1198
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,763
Arlen, we can do this.

1199
01:10:51,764 --> 01:10:54,098
We can beat them. We can win!

1200
01:10:54,099 --> 01:10:56,059
- I don't care if I win.
- Bullshit!

1201
01:10:56,060 --> 01:10:57,268
Everybody wants to win.

1202
01:10:57,269 --> 01:10:59,896
No, you want to win.
I want to change things.

1203
01:10:59,897 --> 01:11:02,690
- I want to win so that I can change things.
- No, you don't!

1204
01:11:02,691 --> 01:11:05,652
You want to win so that you can get
an Oscar with your name on it this time.

1205
01:11:05,653 --> 01:11:09,781
And so you can get more money that you
burn through, writing shit for idiots!

1206
01:11:09,782 --> 01:11:13,284
Why do I have to explain everything
to you like you're a fucking child?

1207
01:11:13,285 --> 01:11:14,369
You don't have to.

1208
01:11:14,370 --> 01:11:15,745
- You really don't have to.
- Piss off!

1209
01:11:15,746 --> 01:11:18,414
You know, you do what you do
and that's fine for you.

1210
01:11:18,415 --> 01:11:21,042
But don't pretend that
you getting your career back

1211
01:11:21,043 --> 01:11:23,962
is part of some great crusade
for mankind. Okay?

1212
01:11:23,963 --> 01:11:26,563
I'm doing this for everyone.

1213
01:11:29,259 --> 01:11:31,136
Arlen...

1214
01:11:43,691 --> 01:11:46,735
Fucking idiot.

1215
01:12:28,402 --> 01:12:32,488
Happy birthday to you

1216
01:12:32,489 --> 01:12:37,494
Happy birthday, dear Nikola

1217
01:12:37,703 --> 01:12:42,707
Happy birthday to you

1218
01:12:42,875 --> 01:12:44,918
Make a wish.

1219
01:12:45,085 --> 01:12:46,627
Ah.

1220
01:12:46,628 --> 01:12:48,578
I got it.

1221
01:12:48,630 --> 01:12:50,465
Sweet 16!

1222
01:12:50,466 --> 01:12:52,175
Get together with your sister.

1223
01:12:52,176 --> 01:12:53,718
Chris, get in there.

1224
01:12:53,719 --> 01:12:55,720
Ah. Thank you.

1225
01:12:55,721 --> 01:12:57,971
Are you sure we shouldn't go knock?

1226
01:12:58,223 --> 01:12:59,599
I'm sure.

1227
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:00,933
He can't take five minutes?

1228
01:13:00,934 --> 01:13:02,602
Nope.

1229
01:13:03,062 --> 01:13:04,395
Two minutes?

1230
01:13:04,396 --> 01:13:05,646
Niki.

1231
01:13:05,647 --> 01:13:08,024
One minute.

1232
01:13:12,446 --> 01:13:13,946
Chris, would you please
get the good plates?

1233
01:13:13,947 --> 01:13:16,116
- Yes, Mom.
- Thank you.

1234
01:13:19,870 --> 01:13:21,621
Dad!

1235
01:13:22,998 --> 01:13:25,417
- Dad!
- Go away!

1236
01:13:26,418 --> 01:13:28,044
We're having birthday cake.

1237
01:13:28,045 --> 01:13:31,881
When you hear me working, you don't knock!

1238
01:13:31,882 --> 01:13:33,841
But it's my birthday.

1239
01:13:33,842 --> 01:13:36,219
You don't knock! Ever!

1240
01:13:36,220 --> 01:13:38,930
So the house is on fire,
you don't want to know?

1241
01:13:38,931 --> 01:13:42,767
I work in a bathtub, surrounded by water.

1242
01:13:42,768 --> 01:13:46,729
So I'm fairly certain that even
if the whole goddamn country was on fire,

1243
01:13:46,730 --> 01:13:50,233
that I could still function
as this family's personal slave.

1244
01:13:50,234 --> 01:13:53,069
And all I ask is to not be interrupted

1245
01:13:53,070 --> 01:13:56,823
for every little slice
of fucking birthday cake!

1246
01:13:57,574 --> 01:14:00,410
What? It's ridiculous!

1247
01:14:01,036 --> 01:14:04,914
Now I've lost my place. Christ's sake!

1248
01:14:09,086 --> 01:14:13,506
...sure, maybe you, uh,
get that long, happy life we all want.

1249
01:14:13,507 --> 01:14:16,300
But your eyes never really close again.

1250
01:14:16,301 --> 01:14:21,013
'Cause you spend that life
scared of every noise in the dark.

1251
01:14:21,014 --> 01:14:25,434
We both do.
I can't let you do this, Rocco.

1252
01:14:25,435 --> 01:14:28,480
I'll just have to convince you I'm right.

1253
01:14:40,659 --> 01:14:45,538
After all, kid, what are friends for?

1254
01:15:01,471 --> 01:15:03,139
Don't defend him, okay?

1255
01:15:03,140 --> 01:15:05,266
He knows he's wrong.

1256
01:15:05,267 --> 01:15:07,560
He hasn't even apologized.

1257
01:15:07,561 --> 01:15:09,361
I think you surprised him.

1258
01:15:09,396 --> 01:15:11,939
He's not used to seeing
another adult in the house.

1259
01:15:11,940 --> 01:15:14,567
He has to be right all the time.

1260
01:15:14,568 --> 01:15:16,694
How do you stand it?

1261
01:15:16,695 --> 01:15:19,497
Well, it's challenging sometimes,
especially lately.

1262
01:15:21,033 --> 01:15:23,952
Hey, why don't you come
downstairs with me?

1263
01:15:24,036 --> 01:15:25,912
I wanna show you something.

1264
01:15:31,835 --> 01:15:33,420
You see my gloves?

1265
01:15:35,964 --> 01:15:37,799
Thank you.

1266
01:15:47,643 --> 01:15:50,228
Do you imagine that's his head?

1267
01:15:53,273 --> 01:15:56,526
No. But you can.

1268
01:16:11,250 --> 01:16:14,460
Niki, is that the script already?

1269
01:16:14,461 --> 01:16:15,962
Fantastic.

1270
01:16:15,963 --> 01:16:18,590
Ah. Tell your dad that...

1271
01:16:41,196 --> 01:16:45,157
Oh, hello. Um, I'm looking for Arlen Hird.

1272
01:16:45,158 --> 01:16:47,452
Mr. Trumbo, it's Andrew.

1273
01:16:47,953 --> 01:16:51,748
Good God! Look... Look at you!

1274
01:16:52,332 --> 01:16:55,918
Wow. Well, I'm certain your father

1275
01:16:55,919 --> 01:16:58,629
has told you some nasty things about me,

1276
01:16:58,630 --> 01:17:00,131
but I want to assure you,

1277
01:17:00,132 --> 01:17:02,925
they're all true.

1278
01:17:02,926 --> 01:17:05,678
Is, uh... Is he home?

1279
01:17:07,055 --> 01:17:09,849
I'm sorry. I thought you knew.

1280
01:17:26,575 --> 01:17:28,825
- I'm so sorry.
- Thank you so much.

1281
01:17:32,122 --> 01:17:33,957
Andrew.

1282
01:17:35,500 --> 01:17:37,460
Joshua.

1283
01:17:37,461 --> 01:17:40,546
My dad left something for you.

1284
01:17:40,547 --> 01:17:42,173
It's a record.

1285
01:17:42,507 --> 01:17:45,760
Money that he owed you
and some other people.

1286
01:17:47,929 --> 01:17:50,807
I'm sorry. I wish we could pay you back.

1287
01:17:53,143 --> 01:17:54,936
Andrew, no.

1288
01:17:56,063 --> 01:17:58,106
I owed him.

1289
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:03,820
The debts are all mine.

1290
01:18:05,947 --> 01:18:07,782
Thank you.

1291
01:18:29,346 --> 01:18:31,097
Well...

1292
01:18:31,098 --> 01:18:33,141
Hello, Eddie.

1293
01:18:35,811 --> 01:18:38,438
This is a bit of a surprise.

1294
01:18:42,984 --> 01:18:44,903
What can I do for you?

1295
01:18:45,070 --> 01:18:46,654
Arlen died.

1296
01:18:46,655 --> 01:18:49,365
I heard. I was on location.

1297
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:57,456
This is the money you gave us
for the defense fund.

1298
01:18:57,457 --> 01:18:59,792
It's everything that we owe you.
Arlen included.

1299
01:18:59,793 --> 01:19:02,253
No, now, that was a gift.

1300
01:19:02,254 --> 01:19:04,839
We'd like it off our books.

1301
01:19:06,049 --> 01:19:09,802
What is this supposed to be?
Some kind of message?

1302
01:19:10,637 --> 01:19:14,474
What you and Arlen and the great
Hollywood Ten all think of me.

1303
01:19:19,563 --> 01:19:23,024
Fine. Fine. But first you're gonna listen.

1304
01:19:26,570 --> 01:19:29,197
After you went to jail,

1305
01:19:31,032 --> 01:19:33,868
I didn't work for a year.

1306
01:19:35,620 --> 01:19:38,539
No offers, not even an audition.

1307
01:19:38,915 --> 01:19:43,294
People would see me, cross the street.

1308
01:19:43,295 --> 01:19:44,879
People I loved.

1309
01:19:46,590 --> 01:19:49,008
People I made rich.

1310
01:19:50,302 --> 01:19:51,760
I sat in front of that committee.

1311
01:19:51,761 --> 01:19:54,430
Why? I didn't do anything.

1312
01:19:54,431 --> 01:19:58,393
None of us did anything.
We were all stupid babies.

1313
01:19:58,643 --> 01:20:02,105
With no business in any of it.

1314
01:20:02,814 --> 01:20:05,149
I just wanted my life back.

1315
01:20:06,318 --> 01:20:10,154
They had every name.
Yours, Arlen's, everybody's.

1316
01:20:10,155 --> 01:20:14,492
I didn't give them anything
they didn't already have.

1317
01:20:14,493 --> 01:20:19,455
I ended it, is all. I just... I ended it!

1318
01:20:19,456 --> 01:20:25,294
Oh, Eddie, you don't
end something like this.

1319
01:20:25,295 --> 01:20:29,340
By giving them what
they have no right to ask.

1320
01:20:29,341 --> 01:20:33,052
You're gonna tell me
how I should have handled it?

1321
01:20:33,595 --> 01:20:36,139
Like you handled Congress?

1322
01:20:37,098 --> 01:20:40,142
So you're saying that
you're proud of what you did?

1323
01:20:40,143 --> 01:20:44,021
Proud? Who the hell gets to be proud?

1324
01:20:44,022 --> 01:20:45,523
You. You do.

1325
01:20:45,524 --> 01:20:47,650
You with your fake names and your fronts.

1326
01:20:47,651 --> 01:20:49,109
You've got all the work you want.

1327
01:20:49,110 --> 01:20:52,196
I gotta go out in the world every day.

1328
01:20:52,197 --> 01:20:54,282
This is my work.

1329
01:20:56,076 --> 01:20:58,869
I've got nobody else to be.

1330
01:20:58,870 --> 01:21:01,038
I did what I had to.

1331
01:21:01,039 --> 01:21:03,624
You did what you wanted, Eddie.

1332
01:21:04,543 --> 01:21:07,045
And you did it for more.

1333
01:21:07,963 --> 01:21:11,382
More movies, more money,

1334
01:21:11,675 --> 01:21:15,178
more dead bullshit on your walls.

1335
01:21:22,477 --> 01:21:27,273
What I did, I did, but did you
ever wonder how many years

1336
01:21:27,274 --> 01:21:29,942
you hacked off Arlen's life?

1337
01:21:31,069 --> 01:21:35,156
To show the world
what a rebel genius you are.

1338
01:21:39,327 --> 01:21:41,746
You live with that!

1339
01:21:53,925 --> 01:21:56,177
Drinking alone?

1340
01:21:57,178 --> 01:21:58,846
Preferably.

1341
01:21:59,556 --> 01:22:02,600
And what are you up to these days?

1342
01:22:04,311 --> 01:22:08,230
You know, Hedda, another one
of these and I just may tell you.

1343
01:22:08,231 --> 01:22:10,316
Oh, then I'm buying.

1344
01:22:10,609 --> 01:22:12,026
Usual. Same again.

1345
01:22:12,027 --> 01:22:13,927
Yes, Miss Hopper.

1346
01:22:14,738 --> 01:22:17,615
Oh, come on, I hear the rumors.

1347
01:22:19,075 --> 01:22:22,829
Show me you're still in the game,
fighting the good fight.

1348
01:22:23,663 --> 01:22:25,623
Come on, rub my face in it.

1349
01:22:25,624 --> 01:22:28,000
Whisper a movie you've written in secret.

1350
01:22:28,001 --> 01:22:30,002
Maybe I've even heard of it.

1351
01:22:31,796 --> 01:22:33,213
Maybe you have.

1352
01:22:33,214 --> 01:22:36,216
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry...
I'm filming. It's crazy.

1353
01:22:36,217 --> 01:22:39,387
Buddy, do you know Dalton Trumbo?

1354
01:22:42,015 --> 01:22:45,684
Yes, I believe we have
worked together before.

1355
01:22:45,685 --> 01:22:47,269
What was it? Was it MGM?

1356
01:22:47,270 --> 01:22:50,220
A million years ago.
Nice to see you again, Buddy.

1357
01:22:50,899 --> 01:22:52,775
I hear your new script's in trouble.

1358
01:22:52,776 --> 01:22:54,401
Maybe you should hire Dalton.

1359
01:22:54,402 --> 01:22:57,780
He used to be pretty good,
and price-wise, he'd be bargain basement.

1360
01:22:57,781 --> 01:23:01,742
Not that you'd ever do it.
Not after Buddy named names.

1361
01:23:03,203 --> 01:23:05,788
Oh, you didn't know?

1362
01:23:05,789 --> 01:23:07,998
Word was he had hired someone
he shouldn't have.

1363
01:23:07,999 --> 01:23:11,085
So he got subpoenaed. He had to testify.

1364
01:23:11,086 --> 01:23:13,754
Closed session. No press. Makes it easier.

1365
01:23:13,755 --> 01:23:16,174
So, he named you, of course.

1366
01:23:17,300 --> 01:23:20,135
Now he's been cleared.
Gets to make his movie.

1367
01:23:20,136 --> 01:23:23,222
In a way, thanks to you.

1368
01:23:27,977 --> 01:23:31,856
Drink, Buddy? You look as if you need one.

1369
01:23:32,107 --> 01:23:34,066
Can you believe it?

1370
01:23:34,067 --> 01:23:36,777
Democrats voting for segregation.

1371
01:23:36,778 --> 01:23:38,946
Oh, the Southern Dixie-crats.

1372
01:23:38,947 --> 01:23:41,407
We started a petition
for total integration.

1373
01:23:41,408 --> 01:23:42,574
There it is.

1374
01:23:42,575 --> 01:23:44,118
I already have over 1,000 signatures.

1375
01:23:44,119 --> 01:23:47,955
Well, I'd be happy to make it 1,001.

1376
01:23:47,956 --> 01:23:49,873
And this is the new draft

1377
01:23:49,874 --> 01:23:53,753
that needs to be delivered
to Hymie King in Agoura.

1378
01:23:54,546 --> 01:23:57,047
Wait, Agoura? I thought
the Kings were in Hollywood.

1379
01:23:57,048 --> 01:23:58,799
Oh, no, no, no.
These are the rewrites.

1380
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,927
They're to be shot tonight, so Hymie
needs them on the set right away.

1381
01:24:01,928 --> 01:24:03,554
Agoura's 40 miles.

1382
01:24:03,555 --> 01:24:05,723
Yes, I'm sure Chris knows that by now.

1383
01:24:05,724 --> 01:24:07,225
Well, he can't.

1384
01:24:08,393 --> 01:24:09,518
I'm sorry?

1385
01:24:09,519 --> 01:24:12,229
He has a date. He's taking her to a movie.

1386
01:24:12,230 --> 01:24:17,276
Well, all right, then, Nikola,
you'll deliver the draft.

1387
01:24:17,277 --> 01:24:18,360
I have a protest.

1388
01:24:18,361 --> 01:24:21,280
Since when do protests
have hard start times?

1389
01:24:21,448 --> 01:24:22,573
I'll take it.

1390
01:24:22,574 --> 01:24:23,657
Nikola will take it.

1391
01:24:23,658 --> 01:24:25,576
I said I can't.

1392
01:24:25,577 --> 01:24:27,411
Young lady, you will.

1393
01:24:27,412 --> 01:24:28,620
This is important.

1394
01:24:28,621 --> 01:24:29,747
So is this.

1395
01:24:29,748 --> 01:24:31,415
This is important to me.

1396
01:24:31,416 --> 01:24:35,378
And the date's important to Chris,
so figure something else out.

1397
01:24:44,345 --> 01:24:46,938
Move on! He needs those now!

1398
01:24:59,652 --> 01:25:01,862
Oh, honey...

1399
01:25:03,031 --> 01:25:07,368
She hasn't been gone that long,
and it's really not that late.

1400
01:25:10,205 --> 01:25:14,208
You know, this is a blatant attempt
to manipulate worry.

1401
01:25:20,465 --> 01:25:23,217
Do you know when I realized
that I had to leave Hal?

1402
01:25:23,218 --> 01:25:25,469
Hal? Hal who?

1403
01:25:25,470 --> 01:25:27,221
My first husband Hal.

1404
01:25:27,222 --> 01:25:29,849
Jesus, take the wheel!

1405
01:25:31,392 --> 01:25:33,394
It was my wedding night.

1406
01:25:34,020 --> 01:25:36,313
My first wedding night with Hal.

1407
01:25:36,314 --> 01:25:39,566
If we're going to go back in time
to that unholy coupling,

1408
01:25:39,567 --> 01:25:43,070
then I have a medical obligation to drink.

1409
01:25:43,071 --> 01:25:46,031
I saw this was not a man
I could have children with.

1410
01:25:46,032 --> 01:25:47,741
Now, thank God for that.

1411
01:25:47,742 --> 01:25:51,537
He'd bully me and them.

1412
01:25:51,538 --> 01:25:55,249
And that we'd wind up like
every miserable family since forever.

1413
01:25:55,708 --> 01:25:57,418
But you...

1414
01:25:58,044 --> 01:26:01,213
I knew you would never be like that.

1415
01:26:01,214 --> 01:26:04,174
That whatever happened out there,

1416
01:26:04,175 --> 01:26:05,425
all that would matter,

1417
01:26:05,426 --> 01:26:08,428
really matter, was us.

1418
01:26:08,429 --> 01:26:10,347
Well, all that matters is us.

1419
01:26:10,348 --> 01:26:12,600
No.

1420
01:26:13,518 --> 01:26:14,643
Not anymore.

1421
01:26:14,644 --> 01:26:16,187
Well...

1422
01:26:17,105 --> 01:26:19,356
You have no idea what you could lose.

1423
01:26:19,357 --> 01:26:20,691
Oh, please!

1424
01:26:20,692 --> 01:26:22,901
My career

1425
01:26:22,902 --> 01:26:25,028
and the First Amendment, our country.

1426
01:26:25,029 --> 01:26:26,280
Am I missing anything?

1427
01:26:26,281 --> 01:26:27,531
Us.

1428
01:26:27,532 --> 01:26:30,117
- You're losing us.
- Oh.

1429
01:26:30,118 --> 01:26:34,788
Since prison, you don't talk or ask.

1430
01:26:34,789 --> 01:26:36,915
You just snap and bark.

1431
01:26:36,916 --> 01:26:39,960
I keep waiting for you to start
pounding the dinner table with a gavel.

1432
01:26:39,961 --> 01:26:44,131
So in addition to being
a pariah out in the world,

1433
01:26:44,132 --> 01:26:47,801
I also have the supreme joy
of battling insurrection

1434
01:26:47,802 --> 01:26:49,803
- in my own home where these...
- Battling insurrection?

1435
01:26:49,804 --> 01:26:53,599
...ten fingers literally
clothe and feed and shelter us.

1436
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,934
This isn't just happening to you!

1437
01:26:55,935 --> 01:26:57,811
We all hurt!

1438
01:26:57,812 --> 01:27:01,106
Niki, me, your friends!

1439
01:27:01,107 --> 01:27:03,317
Friends? What friends?

1440
01:27:03,318 --> 01:27:06,320
Who the hell has the luxury of friends?

1441
01:27:06,321 --> 01:27:08,572
I've got allies and enemies.

1442
01:27:08,573 --> 01:27:10,324
There's no room for anything else.

1443
01:27:10,325 --> 01:27:11,909
We know.

1444
01:27:12,827 --> 01:27:13,952
Good.

1445
01:27:13,953 --> 01:27:17,164
Then this discussion ends.

1446
01:27:17,957 --> 01:27:21,752
This isn't a discussion. It's a fight.

1447
01:27:23,004 --> 01:27:26,841
I will not let our children
be raised by a bully.

1448
01:27:43,483 --> 01:27:44,608
Be back.

1449
01:27:44,609 --> 01:27:46,110
All right.

1450
01:27:56,663 --> 01:28:01,500
I didn't want to fight in front
of my friends, but I'm not going home.

1451
01:28:02,210 --> 01:28:04,462
I didn't come here to fight.

1452
01:28:09,217 --> 01:28:13,553
You know, your mother is a quiet person.

1453
01:28:13,554 --> 01:28:15,055
Normally.

1454
01:28:15,390 --> 01:28:16,682
The effect of which is that

1455
01:28:16,683 --> 01:28:19,810
she can actually make me hear myself.

1456
01:28:19,811 --> 01:28:21,896
It's extraordinary.

1457
01:28:22,397 --> 01:28:27,193
Lately, it's not a sound I like much.

1458
01:28:27,735 --> 01:28:32,406
Mostly because what I hear is just how...

1459
01:28:32,991 --> 01:28:36,744
How afraid I am.

1460
01:28:38,913 --> 01:28:43,208
Afraid that I'm scarring you...

1461
01:28:43,209 --> 01:28:45,252
All of you.

1462
01:28:48,756 --> 01:28:53,761
And what if it's all for nothing?
What then?

1463
01:28:56,431 --> 01:29:01,936
Well, so, I fight.

1464
01:29:03,354 --> 01:29:06,064
It's all I know how to do anymore.

1465
01:29:06,065 --> 01:29:07,858
Any... I mean, it's just...

1466
01:29:07,859 --> 01:29:12,404
Just rage at anyone who gets in my way.

1467
01:29:14,282 --> 01:29:19,786
But you have never been in my way, Nikola.

1468
01:29:19,787 --> 01:29:22,248
Not once.

1469
01:29:22,790 --> 01:29:25,918
It's crazy how mad you make me.

1470
01:29:27,295 --> 01:29:31,048
Since all I ever wanted
was to be just like you.

1471
01:29:34,552 --> 01:29:39,306
Well, I'm afraid to say
that you've succeeded.

1472
01:29:43,144 --> 01:29:44,978
We know, okay?

1473
01:29:44,979 --> 01:29:47,939
It's a small town.
The gossip's always true.

1474
01:29:47,940 --> 01:29:50,817
Fire Dalton Trumbo and the rest of them

1475
01:29:50,818 --> 01:29:53,320
or you got pickets,
headlines and boycotts.

1476
01:29:53,321 --> 01:29:55,781
We will put you right out of business.

1477
01:29:55,823 --> 01:29:56,990
We?

1478
01:29:56,991 --> 01:30:01,411
The Motion Picture Alliance
for the Preservation of American Ideals.

1479
01:30:01,412 --> 01:30:03,830
Me and Ronald Reagan, Hedda Hopper,

1480
01:30:03,831 --> 01:30:06,458
guilds, studio heads, John Wayne.

1481
01:30:06,459 --> 01:30:07,709
I love John Wayne.

1482
01:30:07,710 --> 01:30:08,960
Well, I'll introduce you.

1483
01:30:08,961 --> 01:30:10,629
You guys could do a movie together.

1484
01:30:10,630 --> 01:30:12,839
Oh, gee, that would be swell.

1485
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:15,342
Except I don't think

1486
01:30:15,343 --> 01:30:16,968
- you and me are gonna be pals.
- Hey, Frank!

1487
01:30:16,969 --> 01:30:19,179
- You wanna keep me from hiring union?
- Frank! Frank!

1488
01:30:19,180 --> 01:30:22,349
I'll go downtown, hire a bunch
of winos and hookers!

1489
01:30:22,517 --> 01:30:23,683
It doesn't matter!

1490
01:30:23,684 --> 01:30:25,978
- I make garbage!
- Frank!

1491
01:30:26,521 --> 01:30:29,272
You want to call me a pinko
in the papers? Do it!

1492
01:30:29,273 --> 01:30:33,273
- None of the people that go
to my fucking movies can read! - No, wait.

1493
01:30:34,612 --> 01:30:38,490
I am in this for the money and the pussy
and they're both falling off the trees.

1494
01:30:38,491 --> 01:30:40,117
Take it away from me.

1495
01:30:40,118 --> 01:30:41,368
Go ahead. I won't sue you,

1496
01:30:41,369 --> 01:30:45,372
but this will be the last fucking thing
you see before I beat you to death with it.

1497
01:30:45,373 --> 01:30:46,456
Tiffany!

1498
01:30:46,457 --> 01:30:48,208
Right here.

1499
01:30:59,388 --> 01:31:01,139
Fuck you want?

1500
01:31:01,515 --> 01:31:03,724
Uh... Oh, uh...

1501
01:31:03,725 --> 01:31:05,560
- New script.
- Oh, yeah?

1502
01:31:05,561 --> 01:31:10,398
Yes, it's a family picture.

1503
01:31:10,566 --> 01:31:12,358
Something I've been mulling.

1504
01:31:12,359 --> 01:31:16,571
It's the story of a young
Mexican boy and his pet bull.

1505
01:31:16,572 --> 01:31:19,122
Sounds a little fruity. What's it called?

1506
01:31:19,366 --> 01:31:23,077
The Brave One. Oh, one problem though.

1507
01:31:23,078 --> 01:31:24,412
Expensive?

1508
01:31:24,413 --> 01:31:26,081
Worse.

1509
01:31:26,582 --> 01:31:28,667
It's good.

1510
01:31:38,260 --> 01:31:41,596
Olé! Olé!

1511
01:31:45,184 --> 01:31:49,604
Who told you? What else did they say?

1512
01:31:52,608 --> 01:31:54,275
Well...

1513
01:31:54,443 --> 01:31:58,071
You too. And thank you, Frank.

1514
01:32:00,115 --> 01:32:01,866
What?

1515
01:32:03,619 --> 01:32:07,288
The Brave One has been nominated
for an Academy Award.

1516
01:32:07,289 --> 01:32:09,249
Oh.

1517
01:32:11,293 --> 01:32:14,595
- Really?
- Yes, really!

1518
01:32:16,798 --> 01:32:19,050
That's crazy.

1519
01:32:19,092 --> 01:32:20,968
I don't know. It's like Roman Holiday.

1520
01:32:20,969 --> 01:32:23,888
Oh, Hymie, this is nothing
like Roman Holiday.

1521
01:32:23,972 --> 01:32:27,099
Roman Holiday had a guy
with a name and a body

1522
01:32:27,100 --> 01:32:29,143
they could give the award to.

1523
01:32:29,144 --> 01:32:34,107
There is no Robert Rich.
Who gets the thing if it wins?

1524
01:32:34,399 --> 01:32:36,150
Well, maybe it won't.

1525
01:32:36,151 --> 01:32:38,819
I mean, it's not that good. No offense.

1526
01:32:38,820 --> 01:32:40,321
None taken.

1527
01:32:40,322 --> 01:32:42,657
And now I'd like to say
two of the most beautiful words

1528
01:32:42,658 --> 01:32:46,327
in the motion-picture industry,
Deborah Kerr.

1529
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:55,419
The nominations for Best
Motion Picture Story are,

1530
01:32:55,420 --> 01:32:57,463
Robert Rich for The Brave One,

1531
01:32:57,464 --> 01:33:00,091
Leo Katcher for The Eddy Duchin Story,

1532
01:33:00,092 --> 01:33:02,843
Jean-Paul Sartre for
The Proud and the Beautiful,

1533
01:33:02,844 --> 01:33:06,013
and Cesare Zavattini for Umberto D.

1534
01:33:06,014 --> 01:33:08,308
The envelope please.

1535
01:33:10,686 --> 01:33:12,353
The Brave One, Robert Rich!

1536
01:33:12,354 --> 01:33:14,304
Dad!

1537
01:33:19,820 --> 01:33:21,112
- You won!
- Who's that guy?

1538
01:33:21,113 --> 01:33:24,365
Mr. Jesse Lasky Jr., Vice President
of the screenwriter's branch

1539
01:33:24,366 --> 01:33:27,201
of the Writers Guild, will accept
the award for Mr. Rich.

1540
01:33:27,202 --> 01:33:31,956
On behalf of Robert Rich and his
beautiful story, thank you very much.

1541
01:33:31,957 --> 01:33:33,833
So weird.

1542
01:33:36,712 --> 01:33:39,130
We can't find Mr. Rich anywhere.
He apparently...

1543
01:33:39,131 --> 01:33:41,716
Who the hell is Robert Rich?

1544
01:33:41,717 --> 01:33:43,134
I gotta go.

1545
01:33:43,135 --> 01:33:45,636
It had better not be who they say.

1546
01:33:45,637 --> 01:33:47,179
- Mr. Trumbo.
- Yes?

1547
01:33:47,180 --> 01:33:51,142
Are you Robert Rich?
Did you write The Brave One?

1548
01:33:52,394 --> 01:33:55,146
Well, you see, it's my policy

1549
01:33:55,147 --> 01:33:58,357
not to claim credit for any one movie.

1550
01:33:58,358 --> 01:34:01,986
That way, it's possible that I had
something to do with all of them.

1551
01:34:01,987 --> 01:34:04,071
Except the stinkers,
which were all written

1552
01:34:04,072 --> 01:34:05,740
by my enemies.

1553
01:34:05,741 --> 01:34:08,409
What's your position on the blacklist?

1554
01:34:08,410 --> 01:34:11,412
Well, on it.

1555
01:34:11,413 --> 01:34:13,664
Along with thousands of others.

1556
01:34:13,665 --> 01:34:18,169
Are you using this Robert Rich
controversy to try and end it?

1557
01:34:19,421 --> 01:34:23,591
See, The Brave One
is a nice little picture.

1558
01:34:23,592 --> 01:34:26,427
And if rumors of my involvement

1559
01:34:26,428 --> 01:34:28,679
can help sell tickets, well, then, good.

1560
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:31,265
And if the strange circumstances

1561
01:34:31,266 --> 01:34:35,061
of its authorship raised a few questions,

1562
01:34:35,062 --> 01:34:36,562
well, even better.

1563
01:34:36,563 --> 01:34:38,231
- Trumbo?
- Yes?

1564
01:34:38,231 --> 01:34:40,831
- Phone for you.
- Well, who is it?

1565
01:34:45,781 --> 01:34:48,240
Some crazy guy,
says he's Kirk Douglas.

1566
01:34:48,241 --> 01:34:52,453
Really? Huh. Well, thank you, Nikola.

1567
01:35:04,091 --> 01:35:07,385
Niki? Kirk.

1568
01:35:10,931 --> 01:35:12,473
Kirk.

1569
01:35:12,474 --> 01:35:13,933
Dalton.

1570
01:35:13,934 --> 01:35:15,059
My apologies.

1571
01:35:15,060 --> 01:35:17,812
We've had more than our
share of crank calls lately.

1572
01:35:17,813 --> 01:35:19,605
- I can imagine.
- Please have a seat.

1573
01:35:19,606 --> 01:35:20,773
May I get you a drink?

1574
01:35:20,774 --> 01:35:21,899
No. No thank you.

1575
01:35:21,900 --> 01:35:23,568
All right.

1576
01:35:26,488 --> 01:35:28,656
- So?
- I'm doing a new picture.

1577
01:35:28,949 --> 01:35:30,624
And I just got the script.

1578
01:35:31,743 --> 01:35:34,245
That must be seven hours
of entertainment there.

1579
01:35:34,246 --> 01:35:35,963
Not a single page is entertaining.

1580
01:35:36,832 --> 01:35:40,167
But there's a good story
in there somewhere.

1581
01:35:40,168 --> 01:35:45,006
About one man who tried
to take on the whole world.

1582
01:35:45,340 --> 01:35:49,969
Well, you've got me so far.

1583
01:35:49,970 --> 01:35:53,848
He was a slave who led a revolt
against the Roman Empire.

1584
01:35:53,849 --> 01:35:55,350
Hmm.

1585
01:35:56,184 --> 01:35:58,019
Now, what's the title?

1586
01:35:58,103 --> 01:36:00,020
Spartacus.

1587
01:36:00,021 --> 01:36:01,147
No, no, no.

1588
01:36:01,148 --> 01:36:04,108
I can't tell you what I'm working on now,
except to say that

1589
01:36:04,109 --> 01:36:09,030
the blacklist is alive and well
and so is the black market.

1590
01:36:09,781 --> 01:36:12,491
Well, yes, you can quote me on that.

1591
01:36:12,492 --> 01:36:17,121
Seeing my name in the papers
drives certain people out of their minds.

1592
01:36:17,122 --> 01:36:18,831
Of course. Here he is.

1593
01:36:18,832 --> 01:36:20,792
- Kirk.
- Hedda.

1594
01:36:21,209 --> 01:36:23,711
I'd like you to meet a friend
of mine, Bob Stripling.

1595
01:36:23,712 --> 01:36:26,547
House Un-American Activities Committee.

1596
01:36:26,548 --> 01:36:28,508
Mr. Douglas.

1597
01:36:29,050 --> 01:36:31,052
Mr. Stripling.

1598
01:36:37,392 --> 01:36:38,684
Drink?

1599
01:36:38,685 --> 01:36:40,353
No, thank you.

1600
01:36:41,021 --> 01:36:42,981
You said it was important.

1601
01:36:43,523 --> 01:36:46,693
Only if you hired Dalton Trumbo.

1602
01:36:48,236 --> 01:36:49,737
Who I hire is my business.

1603
01:36:49,738 --> 01:36:51,588
No, Mr. Douglas.

1604
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:53,992
It's ours.

1605
01:36:54,075 --> 01:36:55,201
Why?

1606
01:36:55,202 --> 01:36:57,411
'Cause we have to keep this country safe.

1607
01:36:57,412 --> 01:36:59,163
And how are you doing that?

1608
01:36:59,164 --> 01:37:02,917
Well, why don't I show you
by putting you on the stand?

1609
01:37:03,168 --> 01:37:06,754
Hedda, is your friend trying to scare me?

1610
01:37:06,755 --> 01:37:10,007
He's just trying to show you
the way things are.

1611
01:37:10,008 --> 01:37:13,011
Maybe I don't like the way things are.

1612
01:37:13,345 --> 01:37:15,930
Kirk, we've known each other a long time.

1613
01:37:15,931 --> 01:37:18,933
Since when did you become such a bastard?

1614
01:37:19,601 --> 01:37:24,439
I was always a bastard.
You just never noticed.

1615
01:37:45,794 --> 01:37:46,877
Yes?

1616
01:37:46,878 --> 01:37:50,214
I wish to see the man who wrote this.

1617
01:37:50,215 --> 01:37:52,300
Please, come in.

1618
01:37:53,927 --> 01:37:55,595
Thank you.

1619
01:37:58,974 --> 01:38:01,476
I am Otto Preminger.

1620
01:38:03,311 --> 01:38:05,063
The director.

1621
01:38:05,939 --> 01:38:07,106
Forgive me, I...

1622
01:38:07,107 --> 01:38:10,818
I've just finished work
a few hours ago. I...

1623
01:38:10,819 --> 01:38:12,736
A copy of which I've read.

1624
01:38:12,737 --> 01:38:14,321
But how could...

1625
01:38:14,322 --> 01:38:17,116
I just had that delivered this morning.

1626
01:38:17,284 --> 01:38:20,912
I am Otto Preminger, the director.

1627
01:38:21,955 --> 01:38:23,831
Please.

1628
01:38:31,423 --> 01:38:33,674
Oh, yes, my youngest thinks

1629
01:38:33,675 --> 01:38:37,845
that I can end the suffering
of all broken birds.

1630
01:38:37,846 --> 01:38:40,973
As can I, with a broiler.

1631
01:38:43,768 --> 01:38:47,688
Are your duties completed
for Mr. Kirk Douglas?

1632
01:38:48,189 --> 01:38:52,693
No, but I do have
two weeks off for Christmas.

1633
01:38:52,694 --> 01:38:56,322
During which time you will work with me.

1634
01:38:56,323 --> 01:38:57,865
Will I?

1635
01:38:58,199 --> 01:39:01,201
If you're as intelligent as your writing.

1636
01:39:01,202 --> 01:39:04,330
And as greedy as your reputation.

1637
01:39:04,956 --> 01:39:06,040
Hmm.

1638
01:39:06,041 --> 01:39:08,375
It is an adaptation of the novel Exodus.

1639
01:39:08,376 --> 01:39:09,543
You've read it?

1640
01:39:09,544 --> 01:39:11,045
No.

1641
01:39:11,046 --> 01:39:12,880
A colossal bestseller.

1642
01:39:13,298 --> 01:39:16,133
Very nearly a perfect piece of shit.

1643
01:39:16,134 --> 01:39:20,638
But there's a good story
in there somewhere.

1644
01:39:22,057 --> 01:39:25,017
I have no idea.

1645
01:39:25,018 --> 01:39:27,353
But I have Paul Newman.

1646
01:39:27,354 --> 01:39:31,231
We have spoken. He is a little reticent,

1647
01:39:31,232 --> 01:39:34,318
but I believe, at the right price,
he will accept.

1648
01:39:34,319 --> 01:39:36,487
So you're doing it?

1649
01:39:36,863 --> 01:39:40,532
Well, I think it's the only
way to get him to leave.

1650
01:39:40,533 --> 01:39:42,583
It's very important.

1651
01:39:43,244 --> 01:39:44,995
Poor Mr. Preminger.

1652
01:39:44,996 --> 01:39:47,881
He thinks he's the cat
and you're the mouse.

1653
01:40:02,931 --> 01:40:04,765
Oh, look at that. Perfect.

1654
01:40:04,766 --> 01:40:06,733
Hey, Mitzi, what's that?
A Russian doll?

1655
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:08,686
Absolutely perfect.

1656
01:40:08,687 --> 01:40:10,854
Oh! What is this, Santa?

1657
01:40:10,855 --> 01:40:13,899
Just a little something for Mrs. Claus.

1658
01:40:13,900 --> 01:40:15,192
I'll open it later.

1659
01:40:15,193 --> 01:40:16,777
Christmas is over.

1660
01:40:19,030 --> 01:40:20,698
Well...

1661
01:40:21,741 --> 01:40:23,367
Did you read the new scenes?

1662
01:40:23,368 --> 01:40:26,620
Dreadful. Keep up this level of work,

1663
01:40:26,621 --> 01:40:30,124
and I will see to it
your name is on my movie.

1664
01:40:30,458 --> 01:40:32,460
To take the blame.

1665
01:40:40,093 --> 01:40:43,221
Well, there you go.

1666
01:40:47,726 --> 01:40:51,311
Ooh! Hello. Hi, Sammy.

1667
01:40:51,312 --> 01:40:55,149
Oh, do you know that
Kirk Douglas gave me this bird?

1668
01:40:55,150 --> 01:40:57,276
It's a distraction.

1669
01:40:57,277 --> 01:40:59,319
No. No, not at all.

1670
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:02,656
I named him Sam Jackson.

1671
01:41:02,657 --> 01:41:04,492
He wrote Spartacus.

1672
01:41:07,078 --> 01:41:08,829
Well?

1673
01:41:10,165 --> 01:41:11,915
- Better.
- Thank God.

1674
01:41:11,916 --> 01:41:15,920
But it simply lacks genius.

1675
01:41:16,504 --> 01:41:20,674
Otto, if every scene is brilliant,

1676
01:41:20,675 --> 01:41:24,345
your movie is going to be
utterly monotonous.

1677
01:41:24,345 --> 01:41:26,638
I'll tell you what.

1678
01:41:26,639 --> 01:41:30,768
You write every scene brilliantly,

1679
01:41:30,769 --> 01:41:34,021
and I will direct unevenly.

1680
01:41:36,524 --> 01:41:38,025
What is it, dear?

1681
01:41:40,361 --> 01:41:41,862
Thank you.

1682
01:41:41,863 --> 01:41:43,864
Oh, hello, Kirk.

1683
01:41:44,199 --> 01:41:46,366
Merry Christmas. Thank you, Mitzi.

1684
01:41:46,367 --> 01:41:49,120
Otto. How are you?

1685
01:41:49,162 --> 01:41:51,664
I am very well, Kirk.

1686
01:41:52,165 --> 01:41:54,500
I, uh, didn't mean to interrupt.

1687
01:41:55,376 --> 01:41:58,545
No, no. No, not at all. Not at all.

1688
01:41:58,546 --> 01:42:01,006
Otto, would you mind
if we had a little chat?

1689
01:42:01,007 --> 01:42:02,508
Won't be a second.

1690
01:42:07,555 --> 01:42:09,815
I sort of feel like
I walked in on my wife.

1691
01:42:10,725 --> 01:42:11,892
Do you love him?

1692
01:42:11,893 --> 01:42:14,061
Oh, it's far more lurid than that.

1693
01:42:14,062 --> 01:42:16,689
He's paying me for my services.

1694
01:42:17,023 --> 01:42:18,148
So am I.

1695
01:42:18,149 --> 01:42:21,652
And you'll get them again,
January 2nd, as promised.

1696
01:42:21,653 --> 01:42:24,488
I just need you a few days
on some of the new scenes.

1697
01:42:24,489 --> 01:42:27,825
Of course, but not until the 2nd.

1698
01:42:28,243 --> 01:42:31,245
I wouldn't ask, but I've
never had a director

1699
01:42:31,246 --> 01:42:35,249
who's a bigger pain in my ass
than Stanley Kubrick.

1700
01:42:35,250 --> 01:42:38,252
The worst part is, he's right.

1701
01:42:39,754 --> 01:42:43,174
Well, I wouldn't refuse, but...

1702
01:42:45,426 --> 01:42:49,721
Well, I really...
This should remain between us.

1703
01:42:49,722 --> 01:42:51,306
Of course.

1704
01:42:51,307 --> 01:42:53,267
Well...

1705
01:42:53,601 --> 01:42:56,062
Preminger has declared that...

1706
01:42:56,604 --> 01:42:58,730
Well, what he said was,

1707
01:42:58,731 --> 01:43:01,275
"You keep up this level of work,

1708
01:43:01,276 --> 01:43:05,696
"and I'll see to it that
your name is on my movie."

1709
01:43:05,780 --> 01:43:07,781
- Really?
- Oh, yes.

1710
01:43:07,782 --> 01:43:11,035
Those were his exact words.

1711
01:43:15,790 --> 01:43:17,374
Be in touch.

1712
01:43:17,375 --> 01:43:18,876
Very well.

1713
01:43:18,877 --> 01:43:20,210
Merry Christmas!

1714
01:43:20,211 --> 01:43:21,921
You too.

1715
01:43:25,300 --> 01:43:28,051
I suppose he wants you back.

1716
01:43:28,052 --> 01:43:30,721
Well, no. No, no. He...

1717
01:43:30,722 --> 01:43:36,018
He just stopped by
to talk about a screen credit.

1718
01:43:38,187 --> 01:43:40,481
On Spartacus?

1719
01:43:42,358 --> 01:43:46,320
Well, I really shouldn't
have said anything.

1720
01:43:46,321 --> 01:43:48,155
You understand.

1721
01:43:49,365 --> 01:43:53,035
Five minutes! Back in
five minutes, everybody!

1722
01:43:54,454 --> 01:43:56,163
Kirk,

1723
01:43:56,623 --> 01:43:59,499
Hedda Hopper just told me the American
Legion is going to boycott us

1724
01:43:59,500 --> 01:44:00,626
unless you get rid of Trumbo.

1725
01:44:00,627 --> 01:44:03,003
Ed, he's not done with the script.

1726
01:44:03,004 --> 01:44:04,463
His name will never be on the thing.

1727
01:44:04,464 --> 01:44:06,006
What's anybody boycotting?

1728
01:44:06,007 --> 01:44:08,592
Kirk... Just a second. Please. Please.

1729
01:44:08,593 --> 01:44:10,177
Just give me five seconds, please.

1730
01:44:10,178 --> 01:44:14,181
Listen. Twenty million Americans
are saying loud and clear,

1731
01:44:14,182 --> 01:44:18,978
they will never buy a ticket to our movie
unless you fire one writer.

1732
01:44:19,103 --> 01:44:22,940
Here's 50! Pick one.

1733
01:44:43,378 --> 01:44:45,170
Mind if I stick my nose in?

1734
01:44:45,171 --> 01:44:46,797
Please.

1735
01:44:47,382 --> 01:44:52,094
He knows. He sees Kirk Douglas
coming in and out of here.

1736
01:44:52,095 --> 01:44:55,014
And Otto Preminger and his Rolls.

1737
01:44:56,474 --> 01:45:00,060
He's an idiot. But he's not stupid.

1738
01:45:00,061 --> 01:45:02,270
Has he called the FBI?

1739
01:45:02,271 --> 01:45:04,648
Congress?

1740
01:45:04,649 --> 01:45:07,150
No, because everything they can do,

1741
01:45:07,151 --> 01:45:09,194
they've already done.

1742
01:45:09,195 --> 01:45:12,031
That Oscar belongs to you.

1743
01:45:13,324 --> 01:45:14,867
Get it!

1744
01:45:15,576 --> 01:45:20,998
My God! You're nothing like me.

1745
01:45:20,999 --> 01:45:22,716
You're worse.

1746
01:45:29,132 --> 01:45:31,800
For the record, you're Robert Rich?

1747
01:45:31,801 --> 01:45:32,884
I am.

1748
01:45:32,885 --> 01:45:34,428
I've been through the whole list, Ed.

1749
01:45:34,429 --> 01:45:35,721
They're all hacks.

1750
01:45:35,722 --> 01:45:37,723
And you wrote The Brave One?

1751
01:45:37,724 --> 01:45:39,433
I did.

1752
01:45:40,059 --> 01:45:41,143
Ed, let me call you back.

1753
01:45:41,144 --> 01:45:43,770
Why come forward now?

1754
01:45:43,771 --> 01:45:46,565
Well, as someone who has been
thoroughly investigated

1755
01:45:46,566 --> 01:45:48,817
by the House Un-American
Activities Committee,

1756
01:45:48,818 --> 01:45:53,155
I started wondering,
why hasn't anyone taken

1757
01:45:53,156 --> 01:45:56,199
a good long look at them

1758
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,702
and their work in the movie industry?

1759
01:45:58,703 --> 01:46:03,624
You see, they were convened
to uncover enemy agents,

1760
01:46:04,167 --> 01:46:08,795
expose communist conspiracies
and write anti-sedition laws.

1761
01:46:08,796 --> 01:46:13,008
Well, here we are, thousands of hours

1762
01:46:13,009 --> 01:46:15,844
and millions of dollars later.

1763
01:46:15,845 --> 01:46:19,389
Agents uncovered, zero.

1764
01:46:19,390 --> 01:46:24,436
Conspiracies exposed, zero.
Laws written, zero.

1765
01:46:24,604 --> 01:46:30,109
You see, all they do is deny
people their right to work.

1766
01:46:30,234 --> 01:46:32,611
And they can't even get that right.

1767
01:46:32,612 --> 01:46:35,155
Academy Awards, two.

1768
01:46:39,160 --> 01:46:40,535
And how does that feel?

1769
01:46:40,536 --> 01:46:43,622
To have so undermined the blacklist
that it's almost a joke.

1770
01:46:43,623 --> 01:46:45,708
A joke?

1771
01:46:49,128 --> 01:46:54,716
I know the blacklist
that produced Robert Rich.

1772
01:46:54,717 --> 01:46:59,888
I've seen its horror and cruelty.

1773
01:46:59,889 --> 01:47:02,099
A hideous waste of life

1774
01:47:02,100 --> 01:47:07,229
as I've walked in the
long line of its anonymous.

1775
01:47:07,772 --> 01:47:14,402
And I cannot invent one more
witticism about Robert Rich

1776
01:47:14,403 --> 01:47:18,073
or the Oscar he can't claim.

1777
01:47:19,659 --> 01:47:24,872
Because that small,

1778
01:47:24,997 --> 01:47:28,709
worthless golden statue

1779
01:47:28,960 --> 01:47:32,588
is covered with the blood of my friends.

1780
01:47:38,970 --> 01:47:41,620
I'll get it.

1781
01:47:42,473 --> 01:47:45,433
Hello? Oh, hello, Otto.

1782
01:47:45,434 --> 01:47:47,686
I've read your last draft.

1783
01:47:47,687 --> 01:47:48,979
What do you think?

1784
01:47:48,980 --> 01:47:54,610
My answer is on the front page
of today's New York Times.

1785
01:48:01,450 --> 01:48:03,952
You hated it that much?

1786
01:48:03,995 --> 01:48:07,373
Merry Christmas, Mr. Trumbo.

1787
01:48:12,628 --> 01:48:15,339
Ed, have a seat.

1788
01:48:35,610 --> 01:48:38,528
- Well, why doesn't he kill him?
- Kill him.

1789
01:48:38,529 --> 01:48:39,821
Kill him!

1790
01:48:39,822 --> 01:48:41,281
- Kill him, you imbecile!
- Kill him!

1791
01:48:41,282 --> 01:48:42,749
Kill him!

1792
01:48:46,871 --> 01:48:49,289
Great. Great.

1793
01:48:49,290 --> 01:48:51,708
Marty, have them put up the scene
with Varinia and Crassus.

1794
01:48:51,709 --> 01:48:52,876
- Yes, sir.
- Thank you.

1795
01:48:52,877 --> 01:48:55,178
- Listen, Kirk, I...
- One second.

1796
01:49:01,510 --> 01:49:05,764
Warren, I'd like you to
put out a press release.

1797
01:49:05,765 --> 01:49:08,475
The screen... One second, Warren.

1798
01:49:08,476 --> 01:49:12,271
What do you remember when
you think about Spartacus?

1799
01:49:15,316 --> 01:49:18,235
He was a man who began all alone

1800
01:49:18,236 --> 01:49:19,903
like an animal.

1801
01:49:20,196 --> 01:49:23,281
Yet on the day he died,
thousands and thousands

1802
01:49:23,282 --> 01:49:25,582
would gladly have died in his place.

1803
01:49:26,702 --> 01:49:29,872
What was he? Was he a god?

1804
01:49:30,831 --> 01:49:33,625
He wasn't a god.

1805
01:49:33,626 --> 01:49:37,796
He was simple man. A slave.

1806
01:49:41,259 --> 01:49:42,926
I loved him.

1807
01:49:43,386 --> 01:49:48,390
Warren, the press release will say,

1808
01:49:48,391 --> 01:49:51,851
"The screenplay for Spartacus
was written by Dalton Trumbo."

1809
01:49:51,852 --> 01:49:53,353
Thank you.

1810
01:49:54,522 --> 01:49:57,774
Kirk, if you don't get rid
of Trumbo, I will.

1811
01:49:57,775 --> 01:50:01,486
And right after I quit,
you can re-shoot all my scenes.

1812
01:50:01,487 --> 01:50:06,574
You see, Ed, for better or worse,

1813
01:50:06,575 --> 01:50:09,119
I am Spartacus.

1814
01:50:12,873 --> 01:50:17,043
There's a picture coming out.
It's called Spartacus.

1815
01:50:17,044 --> 01:50:18,878
It's starring Kirk Douglas,

1816
01:50:18,879 --> 01:50:22,299
and it is written by Dalton Trumbo.

1817
01:50:23,634 --> 01:50:26,219
If there is some
other writer's name on it,

1818
01:50:26,220 --> 01:50:27,971
don't believe it.

1819
01:50:27,972 --> 01:50:30,140
We're on to them.

1820
01:50:36,355 --> 01:50:38,523
- Yes?
- Now, listen, Ed.

1821
01:50:38,524 --> 01:50:43,153
We'll picket every theater that movie
is in unless you pull the prints tonight.

1822
01:50:43,154 --> 01:50:45,322
And you get that traitor's name off it.

1823
01:50:45,323 --> 01:50:47,240
Hedda, you can't put me in this position.

1824
01:50:47,241 --> 01:50:48,491
That's expensive and pointless.

1825
01:50:48,492 --> 01:50:52,662
Then you can kiss your movie,
your studio and your miserable ass goodbye.

1826
01:50:52,663 --> 01:50:57,208
Hollywood turns out in force to
hail UI's new film spectacle, Spartacus,

1827
01:50:57,209 --> 01:50:59,419
on the premier of the $12-million picture,

1828
01:50:59,420 --> 01:51:00,670
in the film colony.

1829
01:51:00,671 --> 01:51:04,924
The protesters also showed up to remind
everyone of the political controversy

1830
01:51:04,925 --> 01:51:07,636
surrounding the making of this film.

1831
01:52:00,148 --> 01:52:01,816
Cleo?

1832
01:52:05,112 --> 01:52:07,029
What is it? What's wrong?

1833
01:52:07,030 --> 01:52:09,324
Oh...

1834
01:52:15,497 --> 01:52:19,667
It's over, isn't it?

1835
01:52:21,962 --> 01:52:23,929
Yes. Yes.

1836
01:52:27,592 --> 01:52:29,761
And we made it.

1837
01:52:33,890 --> 01:52:35,600
Yes.

1838
01:52:39,646 --> 01:52:42,356
President Kennedy
enjoyed a rare evening off

1839
01:52:42,357 --> 01:52:46,360
attending the new
Kirk Douglas film, Spartacus.

1840
01:52:46,361 --> 01:52:50,448
We are here live, awaiting
the president's comments.

1841
01:52:51,158 --> 01:52:53,993
Mr. President,
Mr. President, Mr. President!

1842
01:52:53,994 --> 01:52:55,828
It's a very controversial film.

1843
01:52:55,829 --> 01:52:57,455
What did you think?

1844
01:52:57,456 --> 01:53:00,291
Oh, I think it's a fine picture,

1845
01:53:00,292 --> 01:53:02,668
and I think it's going to be a big hit.

1846
01:53:02,669 --> 01:53:06,797
The implication of Kennedy's
approval of this film are wide ranging.

1847
01:53:06,798 --> 01:53:10,259
The novel was written
by a former communist.

1848
01:53:10,302 --> 01:53:13,345
The screenplay was adapted
by a former communist.

1849
01:53:13,346 --> 01:53:16,432
And this signifies the
blacklist may be over,

1850
01:53:16,433 --> 01:53:19,310
as Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger

1851
01:53:19,311 --> 01:53:23,314
have openly hired and credited
blacklisted writers.

1852
01:53:23,315 --> 01:53:29,070
This is a clear repudiation of
a decade-long fight by anti-communists...

1853
01:53:32,157 --> 01:53:33,866
This next award is for the member

1854
01:53:33,867 --> 01:53:36,660
who has advanced the
literature of motion pictures.

1855
01:53:36,661 --> 01:53:39,747
Occasionally, there appears
among us a person

1856
01:53:39,748 --> 01:53:42,500
whose virtues are so manifest,

1857
01:53:42,501 --> 01:53:46,086
who so subordinates his own ego
to the concerns of others,

1858
01:53:46,087 --> 01:53:50,424
who lives in such harmony
with all the standards of the community,

1859
01:53:50,425 --> 01:53:53,511
that he is revered and loved by everyone.

1860
01:53:53,512 --> 01:53:56,647
Such a man, Dalton Trumbo is not.

1861
01:53:59,351 --> 01:54:03,979
It gives me great pleasure to present
the Writers Guild of America Laurel Award

1862
01:54:03,980 --> 01:54:06,232
to Dalton Trumbo.

1863
01:54:12,697 --> 01:54:13,822
Congratulations.

1864
01:54:13,823 --> 01:54:16,117
Thank you, thank you very much.

1865
01:54:22,082 --> 01:54:25,585
Thank you, thank you very much,
ladies and gentlemen.

1866
01:54:26,545 --> 01:54:33,175
Often, when I stand before
the film community,

1867
01:54:33,176 --> 01:54:36,053
there's an elephant in the room.

1868
01:54:36,054 --> 01:54:37,638
Me.

1869
01:54:37,639 --> 01:54:42,310
And I thought I would address that.

1870
01:54:45,021 --> 01:54:50,442
The blacklist was a time of evil.

1871
01:54:50,443 --> 01:54:54,321
And no one who survived it

1872
01:54:54,322 --> 01:54:58,201
came through untouched by evil.

1873
01:54:59,703 --> 01:55:03,080
Caught in a situation that had passed

1874
01:55:03,081 --> 01:55:07,043
beyond the control of mere individuals.

1875
01:55:07,419 --> 01:55:10,963
Each person reacted as his nature,

1876
01:55:10,964 --> 01:55:13,924
his needs, his convictions,

1877
01:55:13,925 --> 01:55:16,218
and his particular circumstances

1878
01:55:16,219 --> 01:55:18,220
compelled him to.

1879
01:55:18,221 --> 01:55:21,224
It was a time of fear.

1880
01:55:22,183 --> 01:55:25,603
And no one was exempt.

1881
01:55:25,604 --> 01:55:31,776
Scores of people lost their homes.

1882
01:55:31,901 --> 01:55:35,363
Their families disintegrated. They lost!

1883
01:55:40,452 --> 01:55:42,662
And in some...

1884
01:55:46,708 --> 01:55:50,086
Some even lost their lives.

1885
01:55:53,673 --> 01:55:59,386
But when you look back
upon that dark time,

1886
01:55:59,387 --> 01:56:02,682
as I think you should every now and then,

1887
01:56:03,350 --> 01:56:05,100
it will do you no good

1888
01:56:05,101 --> 01:56:10,814
to search for heroes or villains.

1889
01:56:10,815 --> 01:56:13,025
There weren't any.

1890
01:56:13,652 --> 01:56:16,237
There were only victims.

1891
01:56:17,989 --> 01:56:21,450
Victims, because each of us

1892
01:56:21,451 --> 01:56:24,787
felt compelled to say or do things

1893
01:56:24,788 --> 01:56:26,706
that we otherwise would not.

1894
01:56:27,999 --> 01:56:32,002
To deliver or receive wounds

1895
01:56:32,003 --> 01:56:36,591
which we truly did not wish to exchange.

1896
01:56:38,385 --> 01:56:42,054
I look out to my family sitting there,

1897
01:56:42,055 --> 01:56:47,435
and I realize what I've put them through.

1898
01:56:48,853 --> 01:56:51,147
And it's unfair.

1899
01:56:54,818 --> 01:57:02,158
My wife, who somehow kept it all together,

1900
01:57:02,283 --> 01:57:04,744
amazes me.

1901
01:57:05,787 --> 01:57:10,541
And so what I say here tonight

1902
01:57:10,542 --> 01:57:13,168
is not intended

1903
01:57:13,169 --> 01:57:18,674
to be hurtful to anyone.

1904
01:57:20,176 --> 01:57:24,847
It is intended to heal the hurt.

1905
01:57:26,558 --> 01:57:30,769
To repair the wounds which,

1906
01:57:30,770 --> 01:57:33,397
for years,

1907
01:57:33,398 --> 01:57:38,444
have been inflicted upon each other.

1908
01:57:38,987 --> 01:57:43,574
And most egregiously, upon ourselves.

1909
01:57:48,872 --> 01:57:52,090
Thank you. Thank you kindly.

1910
02:00:41,169 --> 02:00:43,712
If you receive the Oscar,

1911
02:00:43,713 --> 02:00:45,964
what do you intend to do with it?

1912
02:00:45,965 --> 02:00:51,470
I have... I have a daughter, 13 years old.

1913
02:00:52,639 --> 02:00:56,642
I've been blacklisted since she was three.

1914
02:00:56,643 --> 02:00:58,602
She's known the title

1915
02:00:58,603 --> 02:01:02,314
of every motion picture
I've written in this study.

1916
02:01:02,315 --> 02:01:05,943
And she's kept that title secret till now.

1917
02:01:05,944 --> 02:01:08,236
A soldier.

1918
02:01:08,237 --> 02:01:11,281
When her friends say to her,
as children do,

1919
02:01:11,282 --> 02:01:14,701
"My father does so-and-so.
What does your father do?"

1920
02:01:14,702 --> 02:01:19,122
This has confronted her
with a very real problem.

1921
02:01:19,123 --> 02:01:22,876
It confronts her with the problem,
and has since she was three,

1922
02:01:22,877 --> 02:01:26,088
of who her father really is.

1923
02:01:26,089 --> 02:01:29,550
And what her father really does.

1924
02:01:30,718 --> 02:01:34,262
I, uh, think

1925
02:01:34,263 --> 02:01:38,851
I will give this Oscar,
if I get it, to that girl.

1926
02:01:39,769 --> 02:01:42,396
I think I will tell her,

1927
02:01:42,397 --> 02:01:45,107
"Well, here is one secret

1928
02:01:45,108 --> 02:01:48,903
"you no longer need to be burdened with."

1929
02:01:49,320 --> 02:01:54,658
I'll tell her we have
our names back again.
