Play Misty For Me
What happens when the man who's always in control becomes the victim? Eight months before Dirty Harry made him an icon, Clint Eastwood took his biggest risk—directing himself in a psychological thriller that flipped his screen image completely.
Play Misty for Me was more than Eastwood's directorial debut—it was his declaration of independence from typecasting and audience expectations. As late-night radio DJ Dave Garver, Eastwood played vulnerability without sacrificing his essential toughness, creating a character who was competent in his professional life but utterly unprepared for the obsessed fan who wouldn't take no for an answer.
We explore how this small, personal film shot in Carmel established the themes that would drive Eastwood's entire directing career: the relationship between isolation and vulnerability, the way violence enters ordinary lives, and the understanding that control is always an illusion. Plus, Jessica Walter's genuinely terrifying performance as cinema's most disturbing stalker.
This is the film that proved Clint Eastwood was more than just a man with a gun—and the beginning of a directing career that would span five decades.

Calaruga Shark Media. We've talked about Dirty Harry, the film
2
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.559
that made Clint Eastwood an American icon. We've talked about
3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.000
A Fistful of Dollars, the spaghetti western that created his
4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.280
screen persona. Now we need to talk about the film
5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239
that proved he was more than just a man with
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.240
a gun. Play Misty for Me, released eight months before
7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:38.640
Dirty Harry, Eastwood's directorial debut, a psychological thriller that flipped
8
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.679
his screen image completely. Instead of the man in control,
9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.200
he played the victim instead of the hunter. He was
10
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.479
the hunted instead of the mysterious stranger who appeared and
11
00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.640
disappeared at will. He was trapped in his own life
12
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:59.600
by forces he couldn't control. This is episode three, nineteen
13
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:08.920
one play Misty for Me. It was a small film,
14
00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:12.439
a personal film, a film that most studios didn't want
15
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.959
to make and most audiences didn't expect from Clint Eastwood.
16
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:18.480
But it was also the film that announced his ambitions
17
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.560
beyond acting, his understanding of cinema as more than just entertainment,
18
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:26.400
and his willingness to take risks with his carefully constructed image.
19
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.079
Here's what happened by nineteen seventy Eastwood was financially secure
20
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:36.079
enough to take chances. The Dollar's Trilogy had made him wealthy.
21
00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:40.079
His production company, Malpaso, gave him creative control for the
22
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:42.719
first time in his career. He could make exactly the
23
00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.439
film he wanted to make. What he wanted to make
24
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.359
was a stalker thriller, said in his hometown of Carmel, California.
25
00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.159
The story was simple. A late night radio DJ becomes
26
00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:56.560
the target of an obsessed fan who won't take no
27
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:59.920
for an answer. She starts by requesting the same song
28
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.120
every night. She escalates to showing up at his house.
29
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:07.040
Eventually she starts killing people. Eastwood would play the DJ.
30
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.400
Jessica Walter would play the obsessed fan. The film would
31
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:14.439
cost less than a million dollars and shoot entirely on
32
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.039
location in Monterey County. Nobody expected it to work. Eastwood
33
00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.759
had never directed before. The script was thin, the budget
34
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:27.039
was tiny. Most importantly, audiences came to eastwood films to
35
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.680
see him in control, not vulnerable. They wanted the man
36
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.599
with no name, not a man who couldn't protect himself
37
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.199
from a woman with a knife. But Eastwood understood something
38
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:40.759
his critics didn't. His screen persona was strong, enough to
39
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:45.639
handle complications. He could play vulnerability without losing his essential toughness.
40
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.879
He could be a victim without appearing weak. He could
41
00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.919
show fear without sacrificing his authority. The key was making
42
00:02:52.919 --> 00:03:00.879
the vulnerability authentic. Dave Garver, the radio DJ, isn't helpless unprepared.
43
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:03.960
He's a man who's lived his entire adult life in
44
00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:08.400
control of his environment, his radio show, his relationships, his
45
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.280
solitary existence in a beautiful coastal town. When that control
46
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.000
is stripped away, he has to find new ways to survive.
47
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:18.159
It's not that different from The Man with No Name. Actually,
48
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.599
both characters are isolated professionals who live by their own rules.
49
00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.599
Both are forced to adapt when their environments become hostile.
50
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.840
The difference is that Dave Garver can't solve his problem
51
00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.759
with a gun. He has to outsmart his enemy, not
52
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:37.759
outshoot her. That makes Play Misty for me, more psychologically
53
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:42.319
complex than Eastwood's previous films. Violence isn't the solution, it's
54
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:47.479
part of the problem. Evelyn Draper the Stalker is dangerous
55
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.800
precisely because she's willing to use violence when Dave isn't.
56
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.599
She has fewer inhibitions, fewer moral constraints, fewer concerns about consequences.
57
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.319
Jessica Walter's performance is genuinely frightening. She starts the film
58
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:06.240
seeming merely lonely, maybe a little too forward. By the end,
59
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:11.879
she's a force of pure destructive obsession. The escalation feels organic, inevitable,
60
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.720
completely believable. You understand exactly how Dave gets trapped, and
61
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.040
you understand exactly why he can't get free. But what
62
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.839
makes the film work as an Eastwood vehicle is that
63
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:27.160
Dave isn't passive. He makes mistakes, trusting the wrong person,
64
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.759
ignoring warning signs, trying to handle the situation himself instead
65
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:34.519
of calling for help. But he learns from those mistakes,
66
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:39.639
He adapts, he fights back. The film's climax has Dave
67
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.199
and Evelyn struggling in his house overlooking the Pacific. She
68
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:47.399
has a knife, he has his hands. For once, superior
69
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.040
firepower isn't available to an Eastwood character. He has to
70
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:55.480
win through determination and luck, not professional competence. It's a
71
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.160
surprisingly intimate ending to what could have been a simple thriller.
72
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.040
Dave doesn't walk away clean like the Man with No Name.
73
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:08.160
He doesn't deliver a one liner like Harry Callahan. He survives,
74
00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:11.759
but just barely, and he's clearly changed by the experience.
75
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:17.000
That willingness to show an Eastwood character genuinely affected by
76
00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.759
events was new in the Westerns. Violence was just part
77
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:24.600
of the job. In Dirty Harry, Harry was already damaged
78
00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.720
when the film started. In play Misty for Me, we
79
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:32.040
watched Dave Garver lose his innocence in real time. As
80
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.920
a director, Eastwood showed surprising sophistication for a first timer.
81
00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:39.600
He understood that less could be more, that suggestion was
82
00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:43.439
often more powerful than explicit violence, that atmosphere mattered as
83
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:48.560
much as action. The film is full of beautiful, wordless sequences,
84
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.839
Dave driving along the coast, walking through Carmel, sitting by
85
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.560
the ocean. Eastwood use the natural beauty of Monterey County
86
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:59.639
as a counterpoint to the psychological ugliness of the story.
87
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.360
The more beautiful the setting, the more disturbing Evelyn's intrusion becomes.
88
00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:09.360
He also understood how to use music. The jazz soundtrack,
89
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.720
featuring pieces by Errol Garner and others, gives the film
90
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:17.399
a sophisticated adult atmosphere that sets it apart from typical thrillers.
91
00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:21.959
The famous misty performance by Johnny Mathis becomes both romantic
92
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:26.879
and sinister depending on the context. Most importantly, Eastwood showed
93
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.680
he could direct actors, including himself. His own performance is
94
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.639
more vulnerable than anything he'd done before. Jessica Walter creates
95
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:39.519
a genuinely complex villain, sympathetic in her loneliness, terrifying in
96
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:44.680
her obsession. The supporting cast, including Donna Mills as Dave's girlfriend,
97
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.319
feels natural and unforced. The film was shot in five
98
00:06:48.360 --> 00:06:52.439
weeks for under a million dollars. Universal distributed it as
99
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.800
a B picture, expecting modest returns. Instead, it became a
100
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.959
surprise hit, making over ten million dollars world wide, in
101
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:05.639
establishing Eastwood as a director to watch. Critics were divided.
102
00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:12.120
Some praised its psychological sophistication and atmospheric direction. Others dismissed
103
00:07:12.120 --> 00:07:16.120
it as exploitation dressed up as art, but everyone acknowledged
104
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.600
that Eastwood had shown unexpected range, both as an actor
105
00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:24.399
and as a filmmaker. The success gave Eastwood the credibility
106
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.160
to direct bigger, more ambitious projects. It also proved that
107
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.639
audiences would follow him into different kinds of stories as
108
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.839
long as the essential eastwood elements competence, determination, moral ambiguity
109
00:07:37.199 --> 00:07:40.480
remained intact. But Play Misty for Me was important for
110
00:07:40.519 --> 00:07:44.279
another reason. It introduced themes that would become central to
111
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:48.120
Eastwood's later work as a director. The idea that violence
112
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.040
corrupts everyone it touches, the notion that isolation can be
113
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:57.680
both protection and vulnerability, The understanding that survival sometimes requires
114
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.240
moral compromise. You can see the these ideas developed more
115
00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:05.560
fully in films like Unforgiven, Mystic River in Grand Tarino,
116
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:10.120
but they start here in this small, personal thriller about
117
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.000
a man who discovers that his carefully controlled life can
118
00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:16.759
be destroyed by forces he never saw coming. The film
119
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.199
also established Eastwood's approach to filmmaking quick, efficient, collaborative. He
120
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.519
didn't waste time or money. He trusted his instincts. He
121
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.839
surrounded himself with skilled professionals and let them do their jobs.
122
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.279
It was an approach that would serve him for the
123
00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.919
next fifty years. Play Misty for Me wasn't Eastwood's most
124
00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:40.360
successful film, or his most influential, or his most acclaimed,
125
00:08:40.799 --> 00:08:43.440
but it might be his most revealing. It showed what
126
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.200
he could do when he wasn't playing to audience expectations,
127
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.240
when he was willing to complicate his image, when he
128
00:08:49.279 --> 00:08:53.879
trusted his own artistic instincts over commercial considerations. Let's take
129
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:56.840
a break here. When we come back, we'll talk about
130
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:00.960
how Play Misty for Me influenced eastwoods later work, what
131
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:04.559
it meant for the thriller genre, and why its exploration
132
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:14.519
of male vulnerability was ahead of its time. We're back.
133
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.759
Play Misty for Me came out in October nineteen seventy one,
134
00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.240
eight months before Dirty Harry, But because Dirty Harry became
135
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.679
the bigger cultural phenomenon, most people think of it as
136
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:30.720
Eastwood's breakthrough year. That's not quite right. Nineteen seventy one
137
00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:34.519
was the year Eastwood proved he could do everything, act, direct,
138
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.080
and complicate his own screen persona, all at the same time.
139
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.039
The timing was crucial. If Play Misty for Me had
140
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.720
come out after Dirty Harry became a huge success, it
141
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:48.279
might have seemed like a retreat from the character that
142
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:52.919
made Eastwood famous. Instead, it came first, establishing his range,
143
00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.240
before he became typecast as the tough guy with the
144
00:09:55.240 --> 00:10:00.519
big gun. That sequence, vulnerability first than strength, became a
145
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.240
pattern in Eastwood's career. He would take risks with his image,
146
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:08.240
then return to more familiar territory, then take risks again.
147
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.759
It kept audiences guessing and kept his career fresh for decades.
148
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.399
But Play Misty for Me was also important for what
149
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:20.879
it said about masculinity in early seventies America. Dave Garver
150
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:26.840
isn't a traditional masculine hero. He's sensitive, artistic, emotionally available.
151
00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:31.000
He cries, he asks for help, he admits when he's scared.
152
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:36.759
In nineteen seventy one, that was almost revolutionary. The typical
153
00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:41.360
thriller hero was either completely competent or completely incompetent. He
154
00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:44.600
either saved the day through superior firepower or needed to
155
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.840
be rescued by someone else. Dave Garver was something new,
156
00:10:48.320 --> 00:10:51.279
a man who was competent in his professional life but
157
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.480
vulnerable in his personal life. That complexity reflected changes in
158
00:10:55.519 --> 00:10:59.720
American culture. The Women's movement was challenging traditional gender roles.
159
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.240
Men were being asked to be more emotionally open, more
160
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.960
willing to show vulnerability, but they were also still expected
161
00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:14.440
to be protectors, providers, problem solvers. Dave Garverer embodies that contradiction.
162
00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.279
He's a new kind of man dealing with a very
163
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.519
old kind of problem, how to protect himself and the
164
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.240
people he cares about from someone who wants to destroy him.
165
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:27.440
The film's treatment of Evelyn Draper was also ahead of
166
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:30.440
its time. She's not just a crazy woman or a
167
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:35.240
spurned lover. She's a recognizable type, the person whose loneliness
168
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:38.960
has curdled into something dangerous, whose need for connection has
169
00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:43.320
become destructive obsession. In the hands of a less skilled filmmaker,
170
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.000
she might have been just another movie psycho, but Eastwood
171
00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:50.799
and Jessica Walter created something more complex, a woman whose
172
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.879
behavior is clearly wrong, but whose emotions are completely understandable.
173
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:59.279
Everyone has felt lonely, Everyone has wanted someone to pay
174
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:04.240
attention to them. Everyone has had trouble accepting rejection. Evelyn
175
00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.919
takes those universal feelings to a horrifying extreme, but the
176
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:13.000
feelings themselves are human and relatable. That psychological realism became
177
00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.600
a hallmark of Eastwood's directing style. His villains are rarely monsters.
178
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.039
They're usually people whose understandable motivations have led them to
179
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:26.840
unacceptable actions. Think of Gene Hackman An Unforgiven, or Sean
180
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.639
Penn and Mystic River, or even Eastwood himself in Grand Tarino.
181
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:35.960
The influence of Play Misty for Me extends beyond Eastwood's
182
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:40.200
own work. It helped establish the template for the modern stalker, thriller,
183
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:46.480
fatal attraction, single white female, cape fear. They all owe
184
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.240
something to what Eastwood created in his directorial debut, But
185
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.759
more importantly, it proved that genre films could be psychologically
186
00:12:53.799 --> 00:12:59.159
sophisticated without sacrificing popular appeal. Play Misty for Me worked
187
00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:04.440
as a thriller. It was genuinely suspenseful, genuinely frightening, but
188
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.639
it also worked as a character study, as a meditation
189
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:12.039
on loneliness and obsession, as an examination of how violence
190
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:18.240
enters seemingly normal lives. That combination genre entertainment with serious
191
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:23.039
themes became the Eastwood signature. He never made pure art films,
192
00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:26.080
but he also never made films that were just entertainment.
193
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:31.960
Every Eastwood film, whether he's directing or just acting, operates
194
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.960
on multiple levels. The technical aspects of Play Misty for
195
00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.600
Me also established patterns that Eastwood would follow throughout his
196
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:43.519
directing career. The film was shot quickly and efficiently, without
197
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:48.159
wasted time or excessive takes. Eastwood trusted his preparation and
198
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:52.200
his instincts. He didn't overshoot, he didn't second guess himself.
199
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:56.600
That approach came from his television background, where speed and
200
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.559
efficiency were essential, but also from his personality. Eastwood has
201
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.639
always been someone who makes decisions quickly and sticks with them.
202
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:10.279
As a director, that translates into a style that's confident
203
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:14.799
without being showy, professional, without being impersonal. The use of
204
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:19.240
natural locations also became an Eastwood trademark. Instead of building sets,
205
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:23.279
he shot in real places Carmel, Monterey, Big sur The
206
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.279
authenticity of the locations added to the film's psychological realism.
207
00:14:27.519 --> 00:14:30.759
These weren't movie places, they were real places where real
208
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:35.480
people lived and worked. That commitment to authenticity, to shooting
209
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:39.200
in real locations with natural light and minimal artifice, would
210
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:42.840
characterize almost all of Eastwood's later films as a director.
211
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.840
Whether he was making westerns or urban dramas or war films,
212
00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:50.240
he always tried to ground the story in recognizable reality.
213
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:55.039
The success of Play Misty for Me also gave Eastwood
214
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:59.000
something more valuable than money or critical acclaim. It gave
215
00:14:59.080 --> 00:15:02.320
him confidence. He learned that he could trust his instincts,
216
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.679
that he could handle the technical and creative demands of directing,
217
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.399
that he could guide other actors to good performances. That
218
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.600
confidence would be crucial for everything that followed. Directing requires
219
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:17.840
making hundreds of decisions every day, often with incomplete information
220
00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.279
and under time pressure. Having successfully completed one film gave
221
00:15:22.320 --> 00:15:25.799
Eastwood the self assurance to take on bigger challenges. But
222
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:30.039
perhaps most importantly, Play Misty for Me established the themes
223
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.759
that would run through Eastwood's entire career as a filmmaker.
224
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:38.080
The relationship between civilization and violence, the way isolation can
225
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:42.519
protect and destroy simultaneously. The understanding that everyone is capable
226
00:15:42.600 --> 00:15:46.440
of both good and evil depending on circumstances. These aren't
227
00:15:46.480 --> 00:15:49.919
simple themes, and Eastwood doesn't treat them simply. His films
228
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:53.679
ask hard questions without providing easy answers. They show the
229
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.759
costs of violence without condemning it entirely. They understand that
230
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.200
moral choices are often between bad eyes options and worse options.
231
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.159
That moral complexity, that willingness to live in the gray
232
00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.720
areas between right and wrong, started with Play Misty for Me.
233
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:15.200
Dave Garver isn't entirely innocent. He's careless with other people's emotions.
234
00:16:15.559 --> 00:16:19.080
He makes poor decisions. He's complicit in creating the situation
235
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.320
that nearly destroys him. But he's also not entirely guilty.
236
00:16:23.799 --> 00:16:26.720
He doesn't deserve what happens to him. He tries to
237
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.879
do the right thing, even when it's difficult. He learns
238
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:33.000
from his mistakes and tries to protect other people. That
1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.720
2
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:18.559
3
00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:22.000
4
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:25.280
5
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:27.239
6
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.240
7
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:38.640
8
00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:42.679
9
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:45.200

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:48.479
