Her name is Margo Adams.

She's in some kindof trouble, isn't she?

00:03:45,958 --> 00:03:47,619
I could tell by her voice.
I asked her what it was,

but all she wantedwas your phone number,and then she hung up.

She just gave me her nameand hung up.

I called her house, and either
she's not answering her phone

or a broken heart,

I'm afraid
I'm a little short
on sympathy.

00:11:44,869 --> 00:11:46,496
This place is off-limits
for skin diving,
171
00:11:46,571 --> 00:11:48,801
but we got a couple of kids
who don't believe in signs.
172
00:11:48,873 --> 00:11:52,331
They found the wreck,
called it in.
Body is still in the car.
173
00:11:52,410 --> 00:11:55,709
She must have really
been traveling to end up
that far in the water.
174
00:11:55,780 --> 00:11:56,940
Accident?
175
00:11:57,015 --> 00:11:58,107
Could be.
176
00:11:58,183 --> 00:12:00,344
We gotta check the car
for mechanical trouble,
177
00:12:00,418 --> 00:12:02,579
check the body for alcohol.
178
00:12:03,054 --> 00:12:05,682
We need Beth
to verify identification.
179
00:12:05,857 --> 00:12:07,347
You'll tell her.
180
00:12:07,425 --> 00:12:08,551
Yeah.
181
00:12:09,761 --> 00:12:11,490
Yeah, I'll tell her.
182
00:12:12,097 --> 00:12:13,655
See you.
183
00:12:30,648 --> 00:12:33,014
BETH: So she's in
the county refrigerator
with a tag on her big toe,
184
00:12:33,084 --> 00:12:34,312
and that's the end of it?
185
00:12:35,887 --> 00:12:37,752
Why don't the police
do something?
186
00:12:37,822 --> 00:12:40,848
Come on. The police don't buy
the coroner's report
any more than I do.
187
00:12:40,925 --> 00:12:43,723
Two frantic telephone calls,
her apartment ransacked,
188
00:12:43,795 --> 00:12:46,423
and she accidentally ends up
in 20 feet of water.
189
00:12:46,498 --> 00:12:48,625
Now, for now they're just
throwing a blanket over it
190
00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:50,691
and calling it an accident,
or suicide.
191
00:12:50,769 --> 00:12:52,134
Margo would never have
killed herself.
192
00:12:52,203 --> 00:12:53,864
I said "for now."
193
00:12:54,272 --> 00:12:56,263
They're gonna be
chewing around
the edges of this thing
194
00:12:56,341 --> 00:12:59,208
until they end up
calling it murder,
if they haven't already.
195
00:12:59,277 --> 00:13:00,710
I wanna know
who killed her.
196
00:13:00,779 --> 00:13:01,837
Well, give them
a little time.
197
00:13:01,913 --> 00:13:03,039
I wanna know now.
198
00:13:03,114 --> 00:13:06,572
Beth, the cops are on it.
That makes it an open case.
199
00:13:06,651 --> 00:13:08,846
They're not gonna
pull your ticket
for asking a few questions.
200
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,046
I'd like to
help you, but...
201
00:13:10,121 --> 00:13:11,110
Okay.
202
00:13:11,256 --> 00:13:14,885
If the department gives you
any kind of flak, you get
my legal services for free.
203
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:18,156
Now would I offer that
if I thought you had a chance
of taking me up on it?
204
00:13:19,430 --> 00:13:20,863
Please, Jim.
205
00:13:23,168 --> 00:13:25,898
All right.
I'll ask a few questions.
206
00:13:51,396 --> 00:13:52,863
Mr. Rockford.
207
00:13:53,398 --> 00:13:55,491
Miss Clarke didn't want to
see you this morning,
208
00:13:55,567 --> 00:13:57,694
she doesn't want to
see you this afternoon.
209
00:13:57,769 --> 00:14:00,397
Well, I have some information
I think she'll want to hear.
210
00:14:00,471 --> 00:14:01,563
I doubt it.
211
00:14:02,407 --> 00:14:03,465
Is she in her office?
212
00:14:03,541 --> 00:14:06,533
It's really academic,
Mr. Rockford, because
you're not gonna see her.
213
00:14:06,611 --> 00:14:07,771
(INTERCOM BUZZING)
214
00:14:07,846 --> 00:14:08,904
Yes, Miss Clarke.
215
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:11,073
Did you trythe New York call?
216
00:14:11,149 --> 00:14:12,138
You can't go in there.
217
00:14:12,217 --> 00:14:13,275
What?
218
00:14:13,351 --> 00:14:14,841
You can't go in there!
Millie?
219
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:15,977
Stop!
220
00:14:16,054 --> 00:14:17,043
What is going on?
221
00:14:17,121 --> 00:14:18,247
Now sign that
in two places. Yes?
222
00:14:18,323 --> 00:14:20,052
I'm sorry, Miss Clarke.
I tried to stop him.
223
00:14:20,124 --> 00:14:21,113
Well, who is he?
224
00:14:21,192 --> 00:14:22,386
That's all right, Millie.
Bob, call the police!
225
00:14:22,460 --> 00:14:23,449
What?
226
00:14:23,528 --> 00:14:24,859
Margo Adams is dead.
227
00:14:35,139 --> 00:14:36,538
Well, that was pretty blunt.
228
00:14:36,608 --> 00:14:38,269
Miss Clarke has
so little time.
229
00:14:44,182 --> 00:14:46,150
You all right, Adrienne?
230
00:14:46,484 --> 00:14:47,610
Yeah.
231
00:14:48,019 --> 00:14:50,453
All right.
You're very dramatic
and more than a little brutal.
232
00:14:50,521 --> 00:14:51,783
Now why don't you
get out of here?
233
00:14:51,856 --> 00:14:54,290
No. I wanna know
what's going on.
234
00:14:56,327 --> 00:14:58,261
That'll be all, Millie.
235
00:14:58,329 --> 00:15:00,593
It's all right, Millie.
It's all right.
236
00:15:04,869 --> 00:15:06,336
Mr. Rockford.
237
00:15:07,372 --> 00:15:10,000
Margo and her car
were fished out
of a reservoir
238
00:15:10,074 --> 00:15:12,406
about an hour
after I talked to you
this morning.
239
00:15:13,311 --> 00:15:15,745
Time of death
was late last night.
240
00:15:15,813 --> 00:15:18,976
I'm sorry.
I'm honestly very sorry.
241
00:15:20,251 --> 00:15:22,685
Is there anything
I can do to help?
242
00:15:22,887 --> 00:15:24,718
Well, you might answer
some of the questions
243
00:15:24,789 --> 00:15:27,257
that we didn't
get around to this morning.
244
00:15:27,892 --> 00:15:29,120
Of course.
245
00:15:29,727 --> 00:15:32,321
Well, there's not very much
I can tell you.
246
00:15:32,397 --> 00:15:35,764
I didn't know Margo well.
In fact, I don't suppose
I knew her at all.
247
00:15:35,867 --> 00:15:38,427
She was an employee.
She did her job,
and she did it well.
248
00:15:38,503 --> 00:15:40,664
Didn't you know anything
about her personal life?
249
00:15:40,738 --> 00:15:41,966
Nothing.
250
00:15:43,007 --> 00:15:44,201
And Mister...
251
00:15:44,275 --> 00:15:47,369
Oh, this is Bob Coleman.
He's a friend
and business associate.
252
00:15:47,445 --> 00:15:49,572
Mr. Coleman, what do you know?
253
00:15:49,981 --> 00:15:53,178
I knew most of the girls
around here by sight.
Beyond that, nothing.
254
00:15:53,251 --> 00:15:55,913
I suppose I shouldn't have
said those things
about her today,
255
00:15:55,987 --> 00:15:58,512
but I was upset,
worried about the show.
256
00:15:58,589 --> 00:16:00,079
There was nothing
you could have done
about it.
257
00:16:00,158 --> 00:16:03,218
Now why don't you
take it easy.
Go get some rest, huh?
258
00:16:03,294 --> 00:16:06,195
Would you mind if I talked
to some of the other models?
259
00:16:06,264 --> 00:16:08,357
Well, not today.
They've got a show.
260
00:16:08,433 --> 00:16:09,764
Maybe we should postpone it.
261
00:16:09,834 --> 00:16:11,893
Let him postpone
the questions.
262
00:16:11,970 --> 00:16:14,495
I mean, the girl is dead.
There's nothing we can do
about that.
263
00:16:14,572 --> 00:16:16,631
Now 24 hours isn't gonna
make a lot of difference.
264
00:16:16,708 --> 00:16:18,141
Business as usual.
265
00:16:18,209 --> 00:16:19,699
Well, of course.
266
00:16:21,179 --> 00:16:22,771
I'll be back tomorrow.
267
00:16:33,458 --> 00:16:34,925
Are you all right?
268
00:16:36,127 --> 00:16:39,392
Yeah, well,
an accident like that's
pretty hard to accept.
269
00:16:39,464 --> 00:16:41,557
Miss Clarke's pretty upset,
270
00:16:42,467 --> 00:16:44,901
but Coleman's taking it well.
Course, he didn't know her.
271
00:16:44,969 --> 00:16:48,564
He knew her,
in the biblical sense
of the word.
272
00:16:49,774 --> 00:16:53,608
Oh, I just got the impression
that Coleman and
Adrienne Clarke were close.
273
00:16:53,678 --> 00:16:56,511
Does she know about
his relationship with Margo?
274
00:16:56,581 --> 00:17:00,142
I've said too much already.
If you'll excuse me,
I have a lot of work to do.
275
00:17:03,354 --> 00:17:06,517
"The quick brown fox..."
276
00:17:14,499 --> 00:17:18,629
Hey, I always
keep my sources confidential.
277
00:18:54,030 --> 00:18:55,395
What the...
278
00:18:56,666 --> 00:18:59,260
Oh, you sure have a talent
for being where
you're not wanted.
279
00:18:59,336 --> 00:19:00,530
Where did you get my address?
280
00:19:00,604 --> 00:19:01,798
The phone book.
281
00:19:01,872 --> 00:19:03,635
All right.
Well, get your car
out of here.
282
00:19:03,707 --> 00:19:04,765
It'll take a minute.
283
00:19:04,841 --> 00:19:06,206
Get it out!
284
00:19:06,276 --> 00:19:08,403
That's okay.
It's just a courtesy call,
anyway.
285
00:19:08,478 --> 00:19:12,778
I thought you might want
to explain why you claimed
not to know Margo Adams when,
286
00:19:13,016 --> 00:19:15,177
in fact, you were
having an affair with her.
287
00:19:15,252 --> 00:19:19,586
But Miss Clarke's
being very cooperative.
She'll fill me in.
288
00:19:25,795 --> 00:19:28,525
You say one word
about that to Adrienne,
289
00:19:28,832 --> 00:19:31,392
and they'll be scraping you up
in six counties.
290
00:19:31,468 --> 00:19:35,734
Six? Why not just
one neat little package
like Margo?
291
00:19:40,911 --> 00:19:43,778
I don't know what you're
trying to imply,
but I'll tell you one thing.
292
00:19:43,847 --> 00:19:46,145
I don't know anything
about Margo's accident,
293
00:19:46,216 --> 00:19:48,446
but I'm sure gonna
know about yours.
294
00:19:49,419 --> 00:19:51,785
Well, before you take a bite
out of something,
295
00:19:51,855 --> 00:19:54,915
you make sure it's something
that won't bite you back.
296
00:19:55,325 --> 00:19:56,519
Really?
297
00:20:01,598 --> 00:20:03,395
(HORN HONKING)
298
00:20:08,338 --> 00:20:09,703
You wanna bite back?
299
00:20:13,210 --> 00:20:15,644
Now I want you to stay away
from Clarke Fashions.
300
00:20:15,712 --> 00:20:18,078
I want you to stay away
from this house,
301
00:20:18,148 --> 00:20:20,810
and I don't wanna ever
have this conversation again.
302
00:20:22,852 --> 00:20:24,410
Good, let's keep in touch.
303
00:20:24,654 --> 00:20:25,848
Hurry up.
304
00:20:51,881 --> 00:20:54,349
Mr. Coleman,
Mr. Davidson called
a half a dozen times.
305
00:20:54,417 --> 00:20:55,611
He wants to hear from you
right away.
306
00:20:55,685 --> 00:20:58,085
Well, get in touch with him,
tell him I'll call him
this evening.
307
00:20:58,154 --> 00:20:59,644
He said right away.
308
00:20:59,723 --> 00:21:01,884
It's a good deal.
I wouldn't want you
to lose it.
309
00:21:01,958 --> 00:21:04,654
We can lay off $3 million
in that company, easy.
310
00:21:04,728 --> 00:21:06,593
I can get him for you.
311
00:21:06,930 --> 00:21:11,390
I told you I will call him
this evening. Now leave me
alone for a few minutes.
312
00:21:21,278 --> 00:21:22,905
This is Coleman.
313
00:21:22,979 --> 00:21:24,970
I want you to deliver
a message for me.
314
00:21:26,116 --> 00:21:29,643
No, I don't mean tomorrow.
I am talking about right now.
315
00:21:31,554 --> 00:21:34,614
Shut up and listen.
I'm gonna say this once.
316
00:21:34,691 --> 00:21:37,819
There is a new player
in the game,
a PI named Rockford.
317
00:21:37,894 --> 00:21:42,092
He's nosing around
Clarke Fashions, asking
questions about Margo Adams.
318
00:21:42,432 --> 00:21:44,866
He does not believe
it is an accident.
319
00:21:44,934 --> 00:21:47,664
He wants to know
who killed her and why.
320
00:21:47,804 --> 00:21:49,328
Now you guys are blowing it.
321
00:21:49,406 --> 00:21:53,775
If I can't trust the guys
I'm working with, maybe
I'll work with somebody else.
322
00:21:59,316 --> 00:22:01,011
BETH: You gonna
tell Dennis
about Bob Coleman?
323
00:22:01,084 --> 00:22:02,278
What would I tell him?
324
00:22:02,352 --> 00:22:04,047
That he lied about
knowing Margo.
325
00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:05,280
Well, that doesn't
prove anything.
326
00:22:05,355 --> 00:22:07,687
I'd have lied, too,
under the circumstances.
327
00:22:07,757 --> 00:22:11,591
Adrienne Clarke has
a lot of spirit
and a lot of self-respect.
328
00:22:11,661 --> 00:22:14,152
If she knew Bob Coleman's
idea of fun on the side,
329
00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:16,596
she'd take him off
at the knees, I think.
330
00:22:16,666 --> 00:22:18,293
You mean,
he lied to protect himself
with Adrienne?
331
00:22:18,368 --> 00:22:19,733
It's a possibility.
332
00:22:19,803 --> 00:22:21,065
He had something to hide.
333
00:22:21,137 --> 00:22:23,162
That's also a possibility.
334
00:22:23,606 --> 00:22:26,006
Coleman wants to keep
the relationship secret.
335
00:22:26,643 --> 00:22:28,873
What if Margo
threatened to tell Adrienne?
336
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,681
No, she wouldn't do that.
On the other hand, she might.
337
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:35,980
People in love
do crazy things.
338
00:22:36,453 --> 00:22:38,717
Maybe Coleman killed her
just to keep things quiet.
339
00:22:38,788 --> 00:22:40,653
Well, killing usually
has the reverse effect.
340
00:22:40,724 --> 00:22:41,918
You're being logical.
341
00:22:41,991 --> 00:22:44,152
Logic has nothing to do
with a crime of passion.
342
00:22:44,227 --> 00:22:45,785
I'd heard that.
343
00:22:48,231 --> 00:22:49,255
Jim.
344
00:22:49,332 --> 00:22:51,562
No. You stay right here.
Let me check it out.
345
00:23:06,816 --> 00:23:08,181
It's clean.
346
00:23:08,351 --> 00:23:10,216
Can you tell
if anything's missing?
347
00:23:10,286 --> 00:23:11,776
In this mess?
348
00:23:15,125 --> 00:23:19,186
Beth, did Margo give you
anything to hold for her?
349
00:23:19,529 --> 00:23:20,621
No.
350
00:23:27,604 --> 00:23:28,832
Beth, I want you out of here.
351
00:23:28,905 --> 00:23:29,929
I live here.
352
00:23:30,006 --> 00:23:32,907
You also live in Pasadena.
Dennis Becker, please.
353
00:23:32,976 --> 00:23:34,000
Your parents
back from Europe?
354
00:23:34,077 --> 00:23:35,135
Yeah. A couple
of weeks ago.
355
00:23:35,211 --> 00:23:36,508
We'll stash you with them
for a while.
356
00:23:36,579 --> 00:23:37,637
Now wait a minute.
357
00:23:37,714 --> 00:23:40,410
Beth, your friend is dead.
Somebody's looking
for something,
358
00:23:40,483 --> 00:23:43,509
and they don't care
how they get it.
You're going to Pasadena.
359
00:23:43,586 --> 00:23:46,646
Hey, Dennis? Dennis,
did you get a make
on that license number?
360
00:23:46,723 --> 00:23:50,159
Yeah. When are you gonna
start giving your business
to the DMV?
361
00:23:50,226 --> 00:23:52,285
Come on, Dennis.
Who owns the car?
362
00:23:52,362 --> 00:23:56,389
It's a company car.
It belongs to George Macklan,
Macklan Produce.
363
00:23:56,466 --> 00:23:57,490
Produce?
364
00:23:57,567 --> 00:23:59,797
Yeah, like cantaloupes,
string beans.
365
00:23:59,869 --> 00:24:03,305
I don't need a definition.
It just doesn't make sense.
366
00:24:03,373 --> 00:24:04,840
So what else is new?
367
00:24:04,908 --> 00:24:06,842
Somebody searched
Beth's apartment.
368
00:24:06,910 --> 00:24:08,377
Oh. She all right?
369
00:24:08,445 --> 00:24:10,538
Yeah. She's fine.
You want to check it out?
370
00:24:10,613 --> 00:24:12,137
Yeah. I want to check it out.
371
00:24:12,215 --> 00:24:15,013
All right. I'm gonna
drop her off in Pasadena,
372
00:24:15,084 --> 00:24:16,847
and I'll leave the key
with the manager.
373
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,944
All right.
374
00:24:18,021 --> 00:24:19,010
Right.
375
00:24:19,088 --> 00:24:20,385
Where's your phone book?
376
00:24:20,457 --> 00:24:21,617
Behind the bar.
377
00:24:25,295 --> 00:24:27,320
What are you looking for?
378
00:24:31,034 --> 00:24:32,865
Got it.
Jim!
379
00:24:32,936 --> 00:24:35,097
It's okay. I'll return it.
380
00:24:46,483 --> 00:24:48,178
(DOORBELL RINGING)
381
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,792
Miss Clarke.
382
00:24:58,728 --> 00:25:00,628
I'm not going to ask you
to sit down, Mr. Rockford,
383
00:25:00,697 --> 00:25:03,029
because I don't
want you to stay.
384
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,829
Now, if that is
less than gracious, I'm sorry,
but I've had a long day.
385
00:25:09,739 --> 00:25:10,899
Thought you wanted
to help.
386
00:25:10,974 --> 00:25:11,998
I do,
387
00:25:12,075 --> 00:25:15,476
but I've already told you
everything I know about Margo.
388
00:25:15,545 --> 00:25:18,207
Well, Miss Clarke,
I just left my client.
389
00:25:18,281 --> 00:25:20,545
Her apartment's
been ransacked.
390
00:25:20,617 --> 00:25:21,845
Why tell me?
391
00:25:22,285 --> 00:25:25,345
You're the only one
who knows who my client is.
392
00:25:25,822 --> 00:25:28,552
You're not suggesting that
I had anything to do with it?
393
00:25:28,625 --> 00:25:30,354
What would I be looking for?
394
00:25:30,426 --> 00:25:31,916
Whatever got Margo killed.
395
00:25:31,995 --> 00:25:33,360
Her death was an accident.
396
00:25:33,429 --> 00:25:34,896
It was murder.
397
00:25:35,431 --> 00:25:37,558
Murder? But who?
398
00:25:37,634 --> 00:25:39,226
Let's talk about Bob Coleman.
399
00:25:39,302 --> 00:25:41,270
Let's not talk at all.
400
00:25:41,404 --> 00:25:44,305
Did he ask you
who my client was?
401
00:25:47,010 --> 00:25:48,238
Did you tell him?
402
00:25:49,412 --> 00:25:50,970
No, I did not.
403
00:25:51,714 --> 00:25:54,274
Now you've been
crashing around here
like a bull elephant,
404
00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:56,875
asking questions
and making accusations.
405
00:25:56,953 --> 00:25:59,615
Bob has no more interest
in your client than I have.
406
00:26:00,123 --> 00:26:02,853
Well, he was
having an affair with Margo.
407
00:26:03,693 --> 00:26:05,524
You say that with
a great deal of authority.
408
00:26:05,595 --> 00:26:07,825
And you don't seem
particularly surprised.
409
00:26:07,997 --> 00:26:12,366
It would be unrealistic
for me to believe that
Bob leads a monastic life,
410
00:26:13,069 --> 00:26:15,333
but it's not something
we've ever discussed,
411
00:26:15,405 --> 00:26:18,340
and I certainly
have no intention
of discussing it with you.
412
00:26:18,408 --> 00:26:21,935
I resent your prying,
and I resent
these personal questions.
413
00:26:22,011 --> 00:26:24,104
I don't like it any better
than you do, Miss Clarke.
414
00:26:24,180 --> 00:26:26,148
I'm looking for
a motive for murder.
415
00:26:26,215 --> 00:26:27,842
Then look someplace else.
416
00:26:27,951 --> 00:26:31,580
I have a feeling I'm looking
in exactly the right place.
417
00:26:42,030 --> 00:26:44,430
COLEMAN: All right.
You pulled me out
of a very important meeting.
418
00:26:44,499 --> 00:26:45,591
I've gotta get back.
What is it?
419
00:26:45,667 --> 00:26:49,034
Yesterday you asked me
who hired Jim Rockford,
and I told you.
420
00:26:49,137 --> 00:26:50,968
Yeah. Davenport
or something. So?
421
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:53,530
So yesterday,
somebody took
her place apart.
422
00:26:53,642 --> 00:26:54,666
And?
423
00:26:54,743 --> 00:26:56,233
What were they looking for?
424
00:26:56,311 --> 00:26:57,903
How should I know?
425
00:26:57,980 --> 00:26:59,504
Bob, I don't like
what I'm thinking,
426
00:26:59,581 --> 00:27:01,208
but I know that if you wanted
an apartment searched
427
00:27:01,283 --> 00:27:03,513
(SNAPPING FINGERS)
You could have it done
like "that."
428
00:27:03,585 --> 00:27:05,849
Well, what reason
would I have?
429
00:27:06,021 --> 00:27:08,819
Margo and Beth Davenport
were very good friends.
430
00:27:08,890 --> 00:27:11,051
And you and Margo
were even closer.
431
00:27:12,661 --> 00:27:14,185
When did you find that out?
432
00:27:14,262 --> 00:27:16,025
The day it started.
433
00:27:16,598 --> 00:27:19,999
I may work 24 hours a day,
but I'm still a woman.
434
00:27:21,503 --> 00:27:23,494
I'll take your word for it.
435
00:27:23,572 --> 00:27:26,063
Okay, Bob, I understand
and I'm not angry,
436
00:27:26,141 --> 00:27:30,271
but I don't know
what's happening. Jim Rockford
said Margo was murdered.
437
00:27:30,345 --> 00:27:31,505
Well, am I supposed to
have the answers?
438
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:34,447
You always have.
Was she murdered?
439
00:27:34,916 --> 00:27:38,079
Honey, just keep control,
will you?
It's bad for your image.
440
00:27:38,153 --> 00:27:41,714
Besides, you're gonna wanna
make a nice impression
on the new owners.
441
00:27:41,790 --> 00:27:43,223
What are you talking about?
442
00:27:43,291 --> 00:27:44,849
We're selling Clarke Fashions.
443
00:27:44,926 --> 00:27:46,018
You can't!
444
00:27:46,094 --> 00:27:47,721
The deal is made.
445
00:27:47,796 --> 00:27:49,491
What was it you think
I had you sign yesterday?
446
00:27:49,564 --> 00:27:50,724
You told me
they were contracts.
447
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:52,892
Ah, you see the mistake
you made?
448
00:27:52,968 --> 00:27:55,402
You should always,
always read the fine print.
449
00:27:55,470 --> 00:27:57,461
Don't ever take
anybody's word for it
in business.
450
00:27:57,539 --> 00:27:59,769
I built this company.
You can't sell it.
451
00:27:59,841 --> 00:28:02,503
You built it on my money,
and I can.
452
00:28:03,478 --> 00:28:05,173
Well, at least give me
a chance to buy it.
453
00:28:05,247 --> 00:28:06,373
Hey, it's an open market.
454
00:28:06,448 --> 00:28:07,642
All you have to do
is come up with
455
00:28:07,716 --> 00:28:10,014
$3.5 million dollars
by next Tuesday.
456
00:28:10,485 --> 00:28:12,544
I can't raise that much.
457
00:28:12,621 --> 00:28:14,816
Well, it's not as if
you wouldn't be
a part of the business.
458
00:28:14,890 --> 00:28:17,381
We've sold your services
for the next five years.
459
00:28:17,459 --> 00:28:18,721
I don't understand.
460
00:28:18,794 --> 00:28:20,659
It's all part of the deal,
your contract.
461
00:28:20,729 --> 00:28:23,357
But why?
Why didn't you tell me?
462
00:28:23,432 --> 00:28:26,890
Any questions you have to ask,
you should have asked
three years ago.
463
00:28:26,968 --> 00:28:28,731
I'm asking now.
464
00:28:28,804 --> 00:28:30,897
You're like
a baseball player, baby.
465
00:28:30,972 --> 00:28:32,963
You've been sold
to another club.
466
00:28:40,182 --> 00:28:41,911
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
467
00:28:49,991 --> 00:28:51,390
May I come in?
468
00:28:51,460 --> 00:28:52,688
You can even sit down.
469
00:28:53,061 --> 00:28:55,495
There's very little reason
for you to be nice to me.
470
00:28:55,564 --> 00:28:58,897
Well, when somebody
comes charging into your life
like a bull elephant,
471
00:28:58,967 --> 00:29:01,697
there's even less reason
to be gracious.
472
00:29:02,070 --> 00:29:05,528
If you'd reacted
any differently,
I'd be wondering why.
473
00:29:05,807 --> 00:29:08,640
I suppose that takes care
of the apologies.
474
00:29:10,479 --> 00:29:12,913
Why did you come
to see me last night?
You didn't learn anything.
475
00:29:12,981 --> 00:29:15,575
Oh, sure I did.
I learned I was wrong.
476
00:29:16,184 --> 00:29:20,086
I thought you might go
quick-stepping right over
to Bob Coleman,
477
00:29:20,856 --> 00:29:25,156
but I sat outside
your apartment for two hours,
you never showed.
478
00:29:25,594 --> 00:29:28,427
I had my hat and coat on
for about a minute and a half.
479
00:29:28,497 --> 00:29:29,521
No.
480
00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,032
Have a seat.
481
00:29:39,107 --> 00:29:40,631
What is it you want,
Miss Clarke?
482
00:29:40,709 --> 00:29:41,869
I want to hire you.
483
00:29:41,943 --> 00:29:43,410
I already have a client.
484
00:29:43,478 --> 00:29:44,604
Can't you have two?
485
00:29:44,679 --> 00:29:47,204
We're both interested
in the same thing,
who killed Margo.
486
00:29:47,282 --> 00:29:48,772
No. Beth wants the truth.
487
00:29:48,850 --> 00:29:50,340
And you want
to clear Bob Coleman.
488
00:29:50,418 --> 00:29:51,783
I want the truth, too.
489
00:29:51,853 --> 00:29:53,081
All right.
490
00:29:53,155 --> 00:29:56,124
Tell me what Bob Coleman
has to do with your company.
491
00:29:58,026 --> 00:30:00,722
You want my help,
that's part of the deal.
Now what does he do?
492
00:30:00,896 --> 00:30:02,523
What difference does it make?
493
00:30:03,632 --> 00:30:07,762
Whatever happened to Margo
is tied into Coleman
and Clarke Fashions.
494
00:30:07,936 --> 00:30:09,369
He handles the bookkeeping.
495
00:30:09,437 --> 00:30:12,304
Oh, come on.
Are you trying
to sell me that?
496
00:30:12,507 --> 00:30:15,271
You want me
to buy Bob Coleman
as a CPA?
497
00:30:15,710 --> 00:30:17,109
I made a mistake coming here.
498
00:30:17,179 --> 00:30:19,010
Then leave.
499
00:30:29,057 --> 00:30:30,718
I don't have
anybody else to go to.
500
00:30:30,792 --> 00:30:31,781
Then level.
501
00:30:32,994 --> 00:30:36,623
I don't want to be
an accessory to murder.
I think Bob killed Margo.
502
00:30:36,698 --> 00:30:37,687
Why?
503
00:30:37,766 --> 00:30:39,028
I don't know.
504
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:40,397
Who is he?
505
00:30:42,304 --> 00:30:43,601
Come on.
506
00:30:44,706 --> 00:30:46,071
Come on, jump in.
507
00:30:46,141 --> 00:30:49,008
You got something
you're afraid to say, say it.
508
00:30:49,845 --> 00:30:52,075
Come on.
Just let it go.
Say it!
509
00:30:57,953 --> 00:31:01,616
Three years ago,
I had a shop on West Adams.
510
00:31:02,858 --> 00:31:06,885
Just me and a rebuilt
sewing machine that took
a year and a half to pay off.
511
00:31:06,962 --> 00:31:09,590
That bobbin tension
was never any good.
512
00:31:10,866 --> 00:31:12,766
I'm a woman. I'm black.
513
00:31:13,168 --> 00:31:15,796
That doesn't change
inside the ghetto or out.
514
00:31:16,271 --> 00:31:18,762
I had talent. I had ambition.
515
00:31:19,007 --> 00:31:20,736
I pushed and shoved
and worked
516
00:31:20,809 --> 00:31:22,936
until there wasn't
any part of me
that didn't hurt,
517
00:31:23,011 --> 00:31:24,535
but I just couldn't make it.
518
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:27,314
Then I met Bob Coleman.
519
00:31:27,716 --> 00:31:30,310
I was whipped.
I wasn't going anywhere.
520
00:31:31,253 --> 00:31:35,246
Then, one day, he backed
a green station wagon
up to the rear door.
521
00:31:36,124 --> 00:31:39,924
You know what was in it? Cash.
As much as I needed.
522
00:31:40,528 --> 00:31:42,758
And you didn't ask
where it came from?
523
00:31:42,831 --> 00:31:44,025
You bet I didn't.
524
00:31:44,099 --> 00:31:46,329
I wanted out,
and it got me out.
525
00:31:46,935 --> 00:31:49,631
Well, you're gonna have
to ask the question now.
526
00:31:50,238 --> 00:31:52,001
What's Bob Coleman into?
527
00:31:53,241 --> 00:31:55,106
He finances companies.
528
00:31:55,477 --> 00:31:56,739
In cash?
529
00:32:02,384 --> 00:32:05,512
Did you know
you were being backed
by organized crime?
530
00:32:05,587 --> 00:32:07,077
I told you, I didn't ask.
531
00:32:07,155 --> 00:32:09,419
Well, you're gonna have to
turn over the rock.
532
00:32:09,491 --> 00:32:11,982
There are billions of dollars
in syndicate operations,
533
00:32:12,060 --> 00:32:14,551
but it's dirty money,
and it's traceable.
534
00:32:14,629 --> 00:32:18,087
So they make
cash investments
in legitimate businesses,
535
00:32:18,166 --> 00:32:21,727
hang on to them for a while,
then sell them,
then the money's clean.
536
00:32:22,837 --> 00:32:26,068
They're taking
$2.5 million dollars
out of Clarke Fashions.
537
00:32:26,141 --> 00:32:27,369
Bob sold the company,
538
00:32:27,442 --> 00:32:29,808
but I think
I know how to make him
change his mind.
539
00:32:29,878 --> 00:32:32,870
He made the mistake
of telling me about
his insurance policy.
540
00:32:32,948 --> 00:32:36,349
He keeps a written record
of all his transactions:
Names, dates,
541
00:32:36,418 --> 00:32:39,387
how much they put into
a company,
how much they get out.
542
00:32:39,454 --> 00:32:43,151
There's a cardinal rule
in the mob.
"You put nothing in writing."
543
00:32:43,224 --> 00:32:45,385
Well, he did.
It's a lever.
544
00:32:45,927 --> 00:32:49,988
Are you interested in pinning
a murder rap on Bob Coleman
or saving your company?
545
00:32:50,065 --> 00:32:52,329
Am I supposed to let it go
without a fight?
546
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,163
In this case, yes.
We go to the police.
547
00:32:54,235 --> 00:32:56,203
No!
I don't wanna go
to the police.
548
00:32:56,271 --> 00:32:57,829
If I do,
that's the end of everything.
549
00:32:57,906 --> 00:32:59,373
What other choice
do you have?
550
00:32:59,441 --> 00:33:01,636
We go to Bob Coleman's house
and confront him.
551
00:33:01,710 --> 00:33:04,975
He can't afford to let that
information out, that he's
been keeping records.
552
00:33:05,046 --> 00:33:06,035
We go to the police.
553
00:33:06,114 --> 00:33:07,911
If we do,
I don't say anything.
554
00:33:08,216 --> 00:33:11,811
I'm gonna see Bob.
If you don't wanna come
with me, I'll go alone.

(SIGHS)
556
00:33:33,908 --> 00:33:37,674
If Coleman told you
about his book,
he could have told Margo.
557
00:33:37,746 --> 00:33:40,146
Now let's say she found it
and took it.
558
00:33:40,215 --> 00:33:43,651
It would give her something
to hold over his head
and keep him in line.
559
00:33:43,718 --> 00:33:46,186
And he killed her
in order to recover it?
560
00:33:46,821 --> 00:33:49,153
Then why was
your client's place searched?
561
00:33:49,224 --> 00:33:52,125
Because the book obviously
wasn't at Margo's.
562
00:33:52,193 --> 00:33:56,323
Beth is her one close friend.
What better place to put it
for safekeeping?
563
00:33:57,365 --> 00:34:00,892
Look, if we're gonna
do this thing,
we're gonna do it carefully.
564
00:34:01,002 --> 00:34:02,697
We're not going in
threatening.
565
00:34:02,804 --> 00:34:04,533
Coleman has all the answers,
566
00:34:04,606 --> 00:34:08,167
so if we play it right,
we might end up with a few.
567
00:34:08,476 --> 00:34:09,841
Whatever you say.
568
00:34:11,613 --> 00:34:13,604
You always get your way?
569
00:34:13,681 --> 00:34:15,171
I always try.

(POLICE RADIO CHATTERING)

00:34:25,627 --> 00:34:27,185
What's happened?
572
00:34:27,262 --> 00:34:28,661
I don't know.
573
00:34:40,141 --> 00:34:43,406
All right. I'll check it out.

no more than that.

One bullet in the throat,
one in the mouth.

What does that tell you?
579
00:35:13,341 --> 00:35:16,208
That he was a talker.
His friends didn't like it.
580
00:35:16,678 --> 00:35:19,613
They signed their name,
so nobody else gets ideas.
581
00:35:20,081 --> 00:35:21,139
All right.
Thanks, Doc.
582

soon as I get the report
from the autopsy.

Hi, Dennis.
What's happening?
Who's that?

Why don't you wait
until the investigation
is over?
585
00:35:30,725 --> 00:35:32,386
I'll copy you along with
the Lieutenant.
586
00:35:32,460 --> 00:35:34,189
What are you doing here?
587
00:35:34,262 --> 00:35:35,490
I came to see Coleman.
588
00:35:35,563 --> 00:35:36,621
Why?
589
00:35:36,698 --> 00:35:39,132
I got some questions
I'd like to ask him.
590
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:40,997
He's fresh out of answers.
591
00:35:41,069 --> 00:35:43,594
That's him on the way
to the meat wagon now.
592
00:35:43,671 --> 00:35:45,662
Let's try this over again.
593
00:35:46,241 --> 00:35:47,902
What are you doing here?
594
00:35:49,110 --> 00:35:52,705
Look, Coleman was having
an affair with Margo Adams.
I think he killed her.
595
00:35:52,780 --> 00:35:54,441
At least,
I thought he killed her.
596
00:35:54,516 --> 00:35:55,983
What else do you know
about him?
597
00:35:56,050 --> 00:35:58,280
I know he was
financing companies
598
00:35:58,353 --> 00:36:00,821
out of the back
of a station wagon
in cash.
599

Now, Dennis, if I were you,
I'd check on his background.
He's connected.

and you're always
right around there,
saving us.
603
00:36:12,567 --> 00:36:13,829
You knew.
604
00:36:14,636 --> 00:36:16,604
Did you find a record book?
605
00:36:16,671 --> 00:36:17,968
What record book?
606
00:36:18,039 --> 00:36:21,270
Well, the book that Coleman
kept all his transactions in.
607
00:36:21,543 --> 00:36:23,135
You didn't know.
608
00:36:23,678 --> 00:36:25,202
Where'd you get
this information?
609
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,840
Well, I don't know, Dennis.
I just talk to so many people,
610
00:36:27,916 --> 00:36:29,781
I can't remember
where I heard that.
611
00:36:29,851 --> 00:36:31,216
I'm asking as a cop.
612
00:36:31,286 --> 00:36:32,719
And I'm answering
as a citizen,
613
00:36:32,787 --> 00:36:35,654
a cooperative citizen.
It'll come back to me,
614
00:36:35,723 --> 00:36:37,350
but there is a record.
615
00:36:37,425 --> 00:36:40,553
It's probably what they were
looking for when they searched
Margo's place
616
00:36:40,628 --> 00:36:41,652
and Beth's.
617
00:36:41,729 --> 00:36:43,060
Who is "they"?

00:36:43,131 --> 00:36:45,895
Oh, come on, Dennis.
I gotta leave something
for you guys to do.
619
00:36:45,967 --> 00:36:47,559
Where you going?
620
00:36:47,635 --> 00:36:49,466
Home, take a shower.
621
00:36:49,537 --> 00:36:50,834

We will pay you
to cooperate.

00:37:29,310 --> 00:37:30,800
I don't have much choice.
626
00:37:30,878 --> 00:37:32,743
Oh, yeah,
you got a choice.

00:37:32,814 --> 00:37:34,179
What are you
going to do
to me?

00:37:34,249 --> 00:37:36,945
What are we gonna do to you?
Nothing. Not a thing.

You're about to
make an exception.
652
00:39:24,992 --> 00:39:28,484
Bob Coleman kept a record
of all his
financial transactions,
653
00:39:28,563 --> 00:39:30,224
a written record.
654
00:39:31,632 --> 00:39:33,065
I see. Is that all?

00:39:33,134 --> 00:39:35,466
No, no. Coleman's dead.
656
00:39:35,570 --> 00:39:37,936
Now my guess is that
you had to make a choice
657
00:39:38,005 --> 00:39:42,032
between the records and a guy
that was unraveling
and ready to go to the DA,
658
00:39:42,110 --> 00:39:43,668
but I can help you.
659

The cops are gonna
go through Coleman's house.
660
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,044
I know that he kept
the book hidden there.
There's a safe.
661
00:39:49,117 --> 00:39:52,644

that if the cops
find those records,

so anxious to help me?

Well, you I could
care less about,

00:40:07,802 --> 00:40:09,929
but Adrienne Clarke
is a dear friend.
669
00:40:10,138 --> 00:40:13,835
If the cops find the records,
she goes down the drain
with everything else.

00:40:46,607 --> 00:40:48,598
but did you ever
go through Coleman's house?
674
00:40:48,676 --> 00:40:51,474
Yeah, but I had to do it
very carefully.
I didn't want to tip him.
675
00:40:51,546 --> 00:40:53,673
He have a safe
in that house?
676
00:40:53,748 --> 00:40:55,648
I don't think so.
I never saw one.
677
00:40:55,716 --> 00:40:59,982
Well, I just talked to a guy
who says those records are
in a safe in Coleman's house.
678
00:41:00,054 --> 00:41:02,454
If he had a safe,
Mr. Macklan,
I'd know about it.
679
00:41:02,523 --> 00:41:04,252
Yeah?
Well, you worked
for him five years,
680
00:41:04,325 --> 00:41:07,158
and you didn't know
he was keeping records
of all our transactions.
681
00:41:07,228 --> 00:41:09,253
Maybe you didn't know
he had a safe.
682
00:41:09,330 --> 00:41:13,699
Now it seems to me
that you did a damn poor job
of watching him.
683
00:41:14,335 --> 00:41:17,827
Now get over there
and go through that house
thoroughly!
684
00:43:40,081 --> 00:43:41,480
MACKLAN:
...find anything, huh?
685
00:43:41,549 --> 00:43:44,382
I told you,
I went through that place
front and back, nothing.
686
00:43:44,452 --> 00:43:46,579
There's no safe.
I told you there was no safe.
687
00:43:46,654 --> 00:43:50,181
I don't like it.
I don't like it.
There's something rotten here.
688
00:43:50,558 --> 00:43:51,923
I don't like it.
689
00:44:02,436 --> 00:44:04,131
I'm telling you,
nobody followed me back.
690
00:44:04,205 --> 00:44:06,673
Well, if there's no safe,
somebody is setting us up.
691
00:44:06,741 --> 00:44:07,867
Now let's get her
in the car.
692
00:44:07,942 --> 00:44:10,274
Nobody followed me back,
Mr. Macklan.
I was very careful.
693
00:44:10,344 --> 00:44:12,073
Get her in the car.
694
00:44:16,584 --> 00:44:17,676
On the double, Dennis.
695
00:44:17,752 --> 00:44:19,879
I don't think
there's much time.
They may move her.
696
00:44:19,954 --> 00:44:21,216
You got a gun, Jim?
697
00:44:21,288 --> 00:44:22,778
No. So get a move on.
698
00:44:22,857 --> 00:44:26,224
And don't comein here like it's aNew Year's Eve party.
699
00:44:38,539 --> 00:44:40,097
(HORN HONKING)
700
00:44:41,375 --> 00:44:42,842
Any sign of those cops?
701
00:44:42,910 --> 00:44:45,777
Oh, yeah.
They're chasing some kid
down the street.
702
00:44:49,016 --> 00:44:52,611
Hey, I wouldn't do that
if I were you. They're liable
to be back any minute now.
703
00:44:52,687 --> 00:44:54,917
Well, when they do,
you tell them
I borrowed their car.
704
00:44:54,989 --> 00:44:56,217
What are you, crazy?
705
00:44:56,290 --> 00:44:58,155
Just tell them Sergeant Becker
said it was okay.
706
00:44:58,225 --> 00:44:59,590
Sergeant who?
707
00:45:29,623 --> 00:45:31,215
(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
708
00:46:13,167 --> 00:46:16,603
Officer in trouble.
2365 South Central.
709
00:46:16,670 --> 00:46:19,730
Will somebody
get the hell over here?
I'm out-numbered.
710
00:46:39,860 --> 00:46:41,225
All right,this is Sergeant Becker.
711
00:46:41,295 --> 00:46:43,525
Move those three unitsdown the other endof the building.
712
00:46:43,597 --> 00:46:46,293
Set up a CP.Get a couple of snipersacross the street.
713
00:46:46,367 --> 00:46:50,531
We have two male Caucasians,one female hostage.
714
00:46:50,604 --> 00:46:52,333
Go through the warehouse!
715
00:47:23,470 --> 00:47:27,668
OFFICER: Out of the car!
Out! Out! Out!
716
00:47:30,744 --> 00:47:33,144
They were gonna kill me.
They said they were
gonna kill me.
717
00:47:33,214 --> 00:47:36,775
I know. I know.
It's all right. Come on.
Come on. It's all right.
718
00:48:12,119 --> 00:48:14,451
Oh, Adrienne,
it's beautiful.
719
00:48:14,922 --> 00:48:16,287
Well, it's
not Clarke Fashions,
720
00:48:16,357 --> 00:48:17,790
but then it's
not West Adams, either.
721
00:48:17,858 --> 00:48:18,847
How's business?
722
00:48:18,926 --> 00:48:20,052
Oh, keeps getting better.
723
00:48:20,127 --> 00:48:22,288
A lot of my old customers
have looked me up.
724
00:48:22,363 --> 00:48:24,923
Do you know I'm even selling
to my probation officer?
725
00:48:24,999 --> 00:48:28,230
I've said before,
there should never have been
any probationary period.
726
00:48:28,302 --> 00:48:29,792
Porter's down
on two counts of murder,
727
00:48:29,870 --> 00:48:32,236
and Macklan's an accessory
before the fact.
728
00:48:32,306 --> 00:48:33,864
You had
nothing to do
with it all.
729
00:48:34,108 --> 00:48:36,804
Beth,
I built my company
on dirty money.
730
00:48:36,877 --> 00:48:40,244
I had a lot of questions
to ask three years ago,
and I didn't ask them.
731
00:48:40,314 --> 00:48:41,338
They could have
put me away.
732
00:48:41,415 --> 00:48:43,042
Oh, not a chance.
Not a chance.
733
00:48:43,117 --> 00:48:44,175
You had a good attorney.
734
00:48:44,251 --> 00:48:45,445
I know.
735
00:48:46,620 --> 00:48:48,850
I think I'm gonna browse,
okay?
736
00:48:50,758 --> 00:48:52,623
You know, I still find it
hard to believe
737
00:48:52,693 --> 00:48:55,628
that Ray Porter
tried to take over
Bob's territory.
738
00:48:55,696 --> 00:48:58,187
Well, Coleman
never should have kept
that record book,
739
00:48:58,265 --> 00:49:00,495
even if he did keep it
in a safety deposit box.
740
00:49:00,567 --> 00:49:02,296
It made him a weak link.
741
00:49:02,369 --> 00:49:05,338
If Porter hadn't
taken him off,
someone else would have.
742
00:49:05,406 --> 00:49:07,340
Porter swears that
Margo's death was accidental.
743
00:49:07,408 --> 00:49:08,432
Do you think it was?
744
00:49:08,509 --> 00:49:10,568
The only thing accidental
about it was killing her
745
00:49:10,644 --> 00:49:12,942
before he found
the record book.
746
00:49:13,747 --> 00:49:18,013
Hey, you're gonna make it
on your own this time?
747
00:49:18,218 --> 00:49:19,708
I'm gonna try.
748
00:49:19,954 --> 00:49:22,548
And if a green station wagon
comes backing into your life?
749
00:49:22,623 --> 00:49:23,715
I slam the door.
750
00:49:23,791 --> 00:49:24,780
Right.
751
00:49:24,858 --> 00:49:27,588
Of course now,
if it's something
in a baby blue...
