Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,967 --> 00:00:02,457
This is Lieutenant Diehl
speaking, Sergeant.
2
00:00:02,535 --> 00:00:04,901
I got a body out here
in the junkyard.
He's been shot twice.
3
00:00:04,971 --> 00:00:07,496
We're looking
for a James Rockford.
4
00:00:07,841 --> 00:00:11,242
You know, Rockford,
for a guy who's such
a stickler for details,
5
00:00:11,778 --> 00:00:13,746
you play very sloppy ball.
6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,472
Alice Sandstrom?
7
00:00:15,682 --> 00:00:18,048
I don't think
she committed suicide,
Mr. Rockford.
8
00:00:18,218 --> 00:00:21,585
We're calling it suicide,
because it was a suicide.
9
00:00:21,888 --> 00:00:23,321
See how neat that works out?
10
00:00:23,656 --> 00:00:25,089
I'm gonna jerk your ticket,
Rockford.
11
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:26,750
You're gonna be
doing laundry for the County.
12
00:00:32,932 --> 00:00:34,229
(PHONE RINGING)
13
00:00:36,436 --> 00:00:37,994
ROCKFORD:
(ON ANSWERING MACHINE)
This is Jim Rockford.
14
00:00:38,071 --> 00:00:39,504
At the tone, leave your nameand message.
15
00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:40,561
I'll get back to you.
16
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,629
(BEEPS)
17
00:00:41,708 --> 00:00:43,539
Jim, it's Shirleyat the cleaners.
18
00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:44,907
You know that brown jacket?
19
00:00:44,978 --> 00:00:46,878
The one I saidlooked so great on you?
20
00:00:46,946 --> 00:00:48,208
Your favorite?
21
00:00:48,481 --> 00:00:49,607
We lost it.
22
00:01:45,637 --> 00:01:48,731
MAN: (ON TV) The teams areheading back on the fieldfor the second half.
23
00:01:53,479 --> 00:01:57,415
The Rams have beenparticularly effective duringthe first two quarters.
24
00:01:57,483 --> 00:01:59,644
Their pass defensehas been spectacular.
25
00:01:59,718 --> 00:02:01,015
Hey, Solly.
26
00:02:01,086 --> 00:02:03,953
Solly, what do you got
for odds in the second half?
27
00:02:04,323 --> 00:02:06,518
I didn't say
I wanted to press,
28
00:02:06,592 --> 00:02:08,253
I just want to know
what the odds are.
29
00:02:08,327 --> 00:02:09,453
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
30
00:02:09,528 --> 00:02:10,517
Come in.
31
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:15,762
MAN: (ON TV) And thelinebackers have been...
32
00:02:15,834 --> 00:02:16,892
Hi.
33
00:02:16,969 --> 00:02:18,436
I'll be right with you.
34
00:02:18,504 --> 00:02:20,563
Fourteen and a half points!
35
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,439
Solly, they came
into the game an underdog.
They're only six points up.
36
00:02:25,244 --> 00:02:28,543
Well, what are you running,
a book or a bucket shop?
37
00:02:28,780 --> 00:02:29,974
No bet.
38
00:02:31,583 --> 00:02:34,381
Fourteen and a half points,
he thinks
somebody's gonna take it.
39
00:02:35,821 --> 00:02:37,152
I'm sorry.
40
00:02:37,556 --> 00:02:38,784
My name is Jim Rockford.
41
00:02:38,857 --> 00:02:40,586
Jennifer Sandstrom.
42
00:02:40,692 --> 00:02:42,353
I hope you're available
for employment.
43
00:02:42,427 --> 00:02:44,395
I'm in need of
a private investigator.
44
00:02:44,463 --> 00:02:46,021
Hey, that's gonna
work out real great.
45
00:02:46,098 --> 00:02:48,157
That's what I do
for a living.
46
00:02:48,667 --> 00:02:51,500
I'm sorry.
That's just a little joke.
Sit down.
47
00:02:52,237 --> 00:02:54,728
I don't know if
there's anything
you can do.
48
00:02:55,407 --> 00:02:57,068
She may have
killed herself.
49
00:02:57,142 --> 00:02:59,838
It certainly is possible.
It just doesn't
seem like her.
50
00:02:59,912 --> 00:03:01,777
She was always
such a happy person.
51
00:03:01,847 --> 00:03:04,475
Even when we were children,
she was always the most...
52
00:03:04,550 --> 00:03:06,347
(STAMMERING)
Miss Sandstrom.
53
00:03:09,021 --> 00:03:11,421
Could you just start
at the beginning, please?
54
00:03:11,490 --> 00:03:13,481
Oh, I'm sorry, of course.
55
00:03:13,725 --> 00:03:16,216
You don't know
what on earth
I'm talking about.
56
00:03:16,295 --> 00:03:17,387
Here.
57
00:03:23,001 --> 00:03:24,593
Alice Sandstrom?
58
00:03:24,803 --> 00:03:26,134
My sister.
59
00:03:27,105 --> 00:03:30,233
Well, it says the body
was discovered
60
00:03:30,309 --> 00:03:33,142
on the beach near
the Santa Monica Pier
two days ago.
61
00:03:33,212 --> 00:03:35,703
Her car was found
two blocks away,
62
00:03:36,181 --> 00:03:38,775
with a suicide note
written in her hand.
63
00:03:38,917 --> 00:03:41,545
I don't think
she committed suicide,
Mr. Rockford.
64
00:03:41,620 --> 00:03:44,453
Look, Miss Sandstrom,
if the police
have it down as a suicide,
65
00:03:44,523 --> 00:03:45,717
that's probably
just what it was.
66
00:03:45,791 --> 00:03:48,954
No. You see,
she was afraid of the water.
67
00:03:49,461 --> 00:03:52,294
Ever since we were children,
she was always
afraid of the water.
68
00:03:52,364 --> 00:03:55,629
She would never
have chosen drowning
as a way to commit suicide.
69
00:03:55,701 --> 00:03:57,032
I have a friend
70
00:03:57,102 --> 00:03:59,002
who is a psychiatrist
and he said
71
00:03:59,071 --> 00:04:00,663
it would be most unlikely.
72
00:04:00,739 --> 00:04:02,798
Yeah, unlikely,
but possible.
73
00:04:03,041 --> 00:04:05,635
Oh no, she was not
a suicidal person.
74
00:04:06,278 --> 00:04:08,303
I don't care what
the police say.
75
00:04:08,413 --> 00:04:10,608
She was a happy person.
76
00:04:10,849 --> 00:04:12,373
She loved life.
77
00:04:12,951 --> 00:04:14,851
I think she was killed,
78
00:04:15,053 --> 00:04:16,577
and I want you
to look into it.
79
00:04:16,655 --> 00:04:20,921
Miss Sandstrom, it says here
that you are
the sole survivor?
80
00:04:21,426 --> 00:04:23,656
How much do you charge,
Mr. Rockford?
81
00:04:23,729 --> 00:04:27,096
Look, I think you
ought to let the police
handle this.
82
00:04:27,165 --> 00:04:28,996
I really do.
I mean, they're good.
83
00:04:29,067 --> 00:04:31,467
Maybe they're not
telling you everything
they know.
84
00:04:33,038 --> 00:04:35,063
It's $200 a day
plus expenses.
85
00:04:35,140 --> 00:04:38,234
But I'm trying to
tell you to let
the police handle it.
86
00:04:38,543 --> 00:04:40,306
Look, maybe the police
87
00:04:40,379 --> 00:04:42,745
found out she had
a psychiatrist that
you didn't know about.
88
00:04:42,814 --> 00:04:45,305
Maybe that psychiatrist
knows something
you don't know.
89
00:04:45,817 --> 00:04:47,307
Are you listening
to me or not?
90
00:04:49,154 --> 00:04:51,622
Miss Sandstrom,
I don't take cases
91
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:52,884
that don't seem real to me.
92
00:04:52,958 --> 00:04:54,687
Now, you could
triple that stack of money,
93
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,318
it wouldn't change anything.
94
00:04:56,695 --> 00:04:58,788
Well, it probably wouldn't.
95
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:02,797
Please.
96
00:05:03,435 --> 00:05:05,062
I need your help.
97
00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:07,634
Even if it turns out
she killed herself.
98
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:09,903
I need to know for sure.
99
00:05:12,044 --> 00:05:13,238
Please.
100
00:05:15,314 --> 00:05:16,645
All right.
101
00:05:16,715 --> 00:05:19,240
All right. All right.
Look, I'II...
102
00:05:19,484 --> 00:05:21,509
I'll look around
for one day, huh?
103
00:05:21,586 --> 00:05:23,383
I'll go up there.
I'll look around.
104
00:05:23,455 --> 00:05:25,320
I'll see if I can
turn up something.
105
00:05:25,390 --> 00:05:27,915
You'll find her address
in that newspaper article.
106
00:05:27,993 --> 00:05:29,790
And here is mine.
107
00:05:30,095 --> 00:05:31,926
I'm there most of the time.
108
00:05:32,731 --> 00:05:35,097
Mandeville Canyon.
That's a nice area.
109
00:05:35,567 --> 00:05:37,899
Daddy left us some money,
Mr. Rockford.
110
00:05:37,969 --> 00:05:39,869
Jim. Just call me Jim.
111
00:05:40,939 --> 00:05:43,908
Oh, I almost forgot this.
112
00:05:46,078 --> 00:05:50,014
I got into her bedroom
and I found some things
that weren't there before.
113
00:05:50,148 --> 00:05:53,242
Look. It's in here somewhere.
114
00:05:54,820 --> 00:05:56,515
I don't know who J.M. Is.
115
00:05:57,022 --> 00:06:01,516
We used to trade off jewelry
quite a bit, and I know she
didn't have that last month.
116
00:06:01,660 --> 00:06:03,651
Also, there are these.
117
00:06:04,763 --> 00:06:08,062
They're love letters,
but the bottom's been cut off.
118
00:06:08,900 --> 00:06:10,197
That's pretty strange,
isn't it?
119
00:06:10,268 --> 00:06:11,599
Yeah, yeah...
Almost as if she
120
00:06:11,670 --> 00:06:13,160
didn't want anyone
to know who it was.
121
00:06:13,238 --> 00:06:14,865
Okay. Yeah, thank you.
122
00:06:15,741 --> 00:06:17,641
I wonder if
you'd do me a favor.
123
00:06:17,709 --> 00:06:19,870
Would you keep those on you?
I'd hate to lose them.
124
00:06:20,312 --> 00:06:21,745
Can you go up
to the house now?
125
00:06:21,813 --> 00:06:23,280
I mean,
can you start right now?
126
00:06:24,516 --> 00:06:25,881
Oh, well...
127
00:06:27,552 --> 00:06:30,578
Yeah. Sure. Sure.
Just let me get my coat.
128
00:07:41,993 --> 00:07:44,018
What do you mean,
it's Lieutenant Diehl's case?
129
00:07:44,095 --> 00:07:45,562
Can't you check on it?
130
00:07:45,630 --> 00:07:48,190
Sure I can check on it.
I just don't want to.
131
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:51,435
Come on, Dennis.
She was a floater on
the beach in Santa Monica.
132
00:07:51,503 --> 00:07:54,404
There's gotta be some reasonyou guys arecalling it suicide.
133
00:07:54,473 --> 00:07:55,599
There is.
134
00:07:55,674 --> 00:07:56,902
Okay, what is it?
135
00:07:56,975 --> 00:08:00,240
We're calling it suicide,
because it was a suicide.
136
00:08:00,745 --> 00:08:02,007
See how neat that works out?
137
00:08:03,815 --> 00:08:05,407
What about an autopsy?
138
00:08:05,484 --> 00:08:07,975
I don't know.
Look, Jimbo, it's not my case.
139
00:08:08,053 --> 00:08:09,350
It's Lieutenant Diehl's.
140
00:08:09,421 --> 00:08:12,447
Call Diehl up and
ask him to read you
the R.O. Report.
141
00:08:12,524 --> 00:08:13,548
Okay.
142
00:08:13,625 --> 00:08:17,026
Okay, I'm officially
notifying you
that I'm working on the case.
143
00:08:17,095 --> 00:08:18,960
Why tell me? Tell Diehl.
144
00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:21,863
I'm telling you
because I'm talking to you.
145
00:08:21,933 --> 00:08:23,423
You see how neat
that works out?
146
00:09:11,116 --> 00:09:12,208
Oh, hi.
147
00:09:12,284 --> 00:09:13,342
Say, is there
anybody in the house?
148
00:09:13,418 --> 00:09:16,717
That filter, I'm gonna have to
take it down to the shop
and get some parts for it.
149
00:09:16,788 --> 00:09:17,914
I said,
is anybody in the house?
150
00:09:17,989 --> 00:09:19,616
Oh, yeah. I think so.
I think there's a guy
in there.
151
00:09:19,691 --> 00:09:21,158
Why don't you
try the front door?
152
00:09:21,226 --> 00:09:22,284
Thanks.
153
00:09:43,582 --> 00:09:45,550
What is going on here?
154
00:09:45,684 --> 00:09:48,152
I don't know.
Let's wait and see.
155
00:09:59,564 --> 00:10:00,622
(DOOR CLOSING)
156
00:10:25,724 --> 00:10:27,715
May I ask
what you think
you're doing?
157
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:30,093
Oh. It's all right.
158
00:10:32,297 --> 00:10:34,265
Oh, my name is...
Yes, I know your name.
159
00:10:34,332 --> 00:10:36,823
You're Tom Brice.
I called Friedler,
Pike and Morris.
160
00:10:36,901 --> 00:10:38,232
They said you'd be here.
161
00:10:38,303 --> 00:10:40,430
You know we haven't
done the inventory.
162
00:10:40,505 --> 00:10:42,234
You... Who are you?
163
00:10:43,174 --> 00:10:45,404
Jay Volaro,
County Assessors Office.
164
00:10:45,810 --> 00:10:46,902
You know, Mr. Brice,
165
00:10:46,978 --> 00:10:50,277
that removing an item,
like that jewelry box,
is a tax crime.
166
00:10:50,782 --> 00:10:53,080
You start messing around with
the County Assessors Office,
167
00:10:53,151 --> 00:10:54,550
you won't
get into heaven, son.
168
00:10:54,619 --> 00:10:55,950
Well, we were told
169
00:10:56,021 --> 00:10:57,750
the tax people had
already done the audit.
170
00:10:57,822 --> 00:10:59,187
We were authorized
to remove the items
171
00:10:59,257 --> 00:11:00,747
that were special bequests
in the will.
172
00:11:00,825 --> 00:11:02,224
Who told you that?
173
00:11:03,495 --> 00:11:04,723
I think...
Well, come on.
174
00:11:04,796 --> 00:11:06,229
I'd like to know.
Who told you that?
175
00:11:06,297 --> 00:11:08,060
It was Mr. Talbot.
176
00:11:08,166 --> 00:11:09,360
He's in your office.
Yeah.
177
00:11:09,434 --> 00:11:11,026
Mr. Friedler spoke
to him, I think.
178
00:11:11,102 --> 00:11:12,569
Talbot told you that?
179
00:11:13,371 --> 00:11:15,168
All right,
I've had it with him.
180
00:11:15,340 --> 00:11:16,637
He makes
too many mistakes.
181
00:11:16,708 --> 00:11:18,642
He's too old.
He told you that?
182
00:11:19,411 --> 00:11:21,811
When did he tell you that?
I'd really like to know.
183
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,609
Was it before
10:30 this morning, huh?
184
00:11:23,682 --> 00:11:25,411
Look, I don't
want to get anyone
into any trouble.
185
00:11:25,483 --> 00:11:26,916
I'm gonna find out, anyway.
186
00:11:26,985 --> 00:11:29,317
Look, I don't know.
You see, you'd have
to ask Mr. Friedler.
187
00:11:29,387 --> 00:11:31,412
He spoke to him.
Okay, I will.
188
00:11:31,489 --> 00:11:32,888
You just might
as well clear out, son.
189
00:11:32,957 --> 00:11:35,448
I'll forget that
you were in here illegally.
190
00:11:36,227 --> 00:11:37,251
Oh, you...
191
00:11:37,328 --> 00:11:39,626
You found the keys
to the safe-deposit box,
I suppose.
192
00:11:39,698 --> 00:11:41,757
Safe-deposit box?
Didn't know she had
a safe-deposit box.
193
00:11:41,833 --> 00:11:44,427
But I did find some keys.
Here.
194
00:11:45,036 --> 00:11:46,162
Which bank?
195
00:11:46,237 --> 00:11:48,501
Bank. I don't know.
But her checking account,
196
00:11:48,573 --> 00:11:51,167
that's at
City Savings & Trust
on Sunset.
197
00:11:51,242 --> 00:11:52,573
Okay, I'll return these
to you
198
00:11:52,644 --> 00:11:54,737
after the inventory
and the audit.
199
00:11:57,449 --> 00:11:59,314
Okay. You can go, son.
200
00:11:59,818 --> 00:12:01,046
Yes, sir.

WOMAN: (ON PHONE)
I'm sorry. He's not in.
205
00:13:48,059 --> 00:13:49,822
Yeah. Give me
Lieutenant Diehl then.
206
00:13:51,596 --> 00:13:53,291
This is Lieutenant Diehl
speaking.
207
00:13:53,364 --> 00:13:56,197
Hello, Lieutenant.This is Jim Rockford.
208
00:13:57,735 --> 00:13:58,724
Hello.
209
00:13:58,803 --> 00:14:00,634
I said this is...
What do you want?
210
00:14:00,705 --> 00:14:02,696
Lieutenant, I understand
that you're handling
211
00:14:02,774 --> 00:14:04,708
the Alice Sandstrom
drowning case.
212
00:14:04,776 --> 00:14:06,175
What do you want, Rockford?
213
00:14:06,244 --> 00:14:09,236
I think maybe you ought
to go up to her house
and check the pool filter.
214
00:14:09,314 --> 00:14:10,611
Why would I want to do that?
215
00:14:10,682 --> 00:14:13,310
And then
I think you ought to get
the autopsy report back
216
00:14:13,384 --> 00:14:15,318
and check and see
if anybody bothered to look,
217
00:14:15,386 --> 00:14:17,183
see what kind of water
was in her lungs.
218
00:14:17,255 --> 00:14:19,314
I think maybe she wasdrowned in her own pool
219
00:14:19,390 --> 00:14:21,153
then taken outand pushed in the ocean.
220
00:14:21,226 --> 00:14:22,716
This is not a murder,
Rockford.
221
00:14:22,794 --> 00:14:23,920
I closed this case.
222
00:14:23,995 --> 00:14:26,623
And I damn well
don't appreciate
you digging around in it.
223
00:14:27,165 --> 00:14:28,189
I just said...
224
00:14:28,266 --> 00:14:29,324
I know what you said.
225
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,062
Get off my back,
get off my case.
You understand?
226
00:14:32,136 --> 00:14:34,969
Diehl, you get off your butt
and come up here
and look at this pool filter,
227
00:14:35,039 --> 00:14:36,631
or I'm gonna go
to the City Attorney!
228
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,232
I'm gonna jerk your ticket,
Rockford.
229
00:14:38,309 --> 00:14:40,174
You're gonna be doing laundry
for the County.
230
00:14:40,245 --> 00:14:42,145
You do yourself a favor,
Lieutenant.
231
00:14:42,213 --> 00:14:43,771
You loosen up
just long enough
232
00:14:43,848 --> 00:14:46,874
to check that autopsy report
and get up here
and look at this pool filter.

(DOORBELL RINGING)
234
00:14:53,290 --> 00:14:55,724
I'm here to see
Jennifer Sandstrom.
235
00:14:56,793 --> 00:14:58,852
Is she expecting you,
Mr. Rockford?
236
00:14:58,929 --> 00:15:00,021
Yes.
237
00:15:00,230 --> 00:15:02,255
One moment,
while I check.
238
00:15:13,410 --> 00:15:15,742
I'm sorry.
There must be some mistake.
239
00:15:15,812 --> 00:15:17,541
I was looking for
Jennifer Sandstrom.
240
00:15:17,848 --> 00:15:19,042
You found her.
241
00:15:21,818 --> 00:15:23,718
If you're here
investigating Alice's death
242
00:15:23,787 --> 00:15:25,448
for the insurance company,
243
00:15:25,522 --> 00:15:28,514
I've already told Mr. Dreikurs
we're not filing a claim.
244
00:15:28,592 --> 00:15:29,820
It was a suicide.
245
00:15:29,893 --> 00:15:32,361
I don't understand
what it is you people
want to investigate.
246
00:15:32,429 --> 00:15:34,488
Oh, I'm working for
Friedler, Pike and Morris.
247
00:15:34,564 --> 00:15:36,555
Tom Brice hired me
this afternoon.
248
00:15:36,633 --> 00:15:39,193
There's some legal matters
that need to be concluded.
249
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:40,497
Such as?
250
00:15:41,338 --> 00:15:42,600
Well...
251
00:15:44,107 --> 00:15:47,042
There was the whole matter
about your sister's investment
252
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:49,977
in the Lake Oswego
Real Estate Corporation.
253
00:15:50,447 --> 00:15:52,108
She was a general partner
on that
254
00:15:52,182 --> 00:15:55,083
and had some
general partnership
liabilities.
255
00:15:55,352 --> 00:15:57,445
Then there was,
of course, the matter about
256
00:15:57,521 --> 00:16:00,820
the civil misconduct case
we were handling for her.
257
00:16:00,924 --> 00:16:03,119
What the devil are
you talking about?
258
00:16:04,127 --> 00:16:07,096
Well, I guess I shouldn't
have said anything at all.
259
00:16:07,731 --> 00:16:10,291
I just assumed that you knew
about your sister's affairs.
260
00:16:10,367 --> 00:16:11,891
I mean, Mr. Brice
didn't say anything
261
00:16:11,969 --> 00:16:14,199
about maintaining
any confidentiality.
262
00:16:14,271 --> 00:16:15,363
I do.
263
00:16:15,439 --> 00:16:17,634
And I've never heard
of any of those things.
264
00:16:18,108 --> 00:16:20,736
Well, it does seem strange,
doesn't it?
265
00:16:21,645 --> 00:16:23,135
Well, to begin with,
266
00:16:23,213 --> 00:16:26,341
my sister was
in no mental condition
to be a general partner
267
00:16:26,416 --> 00:16:28,407
or to assume
any liabilities.
268
00:16:28,485 --> 00:16:31,579
After all, she'd been
in and out of Lynhaven
for the last two years.
269
00:16:32,422 --> 00:16:35,289
Well, Lynhaven was
some sort of hospital?
270
00:16:35,692 --> 00:16:37,717
It's a mental institution.
271
00:16:38,562 --> 00:16:41,861
Surely Mr. Brice told you
that my sister
had been deeply suicidal
272
00:16:41,932 --> 00:16:43,490
for the last
two or three years.
273
00:16:43,567 --> 00:16:46,434
Oh, yes, yes.
We went into that
very thoroughly. Yes.
274
00:16:47,337 --> 00:16:49,532
What is all this malarkey
about my sister
275
00:16:49,606 --> 00:16:52,734
being a general partner
in some sort of investment?
276
00:16:52,809 --> 00:16:54,333
Well, it's just that.
277
00:16:54,411 --> 00:16:55,571
What?
278
00:16:55,645 --> 00:16:57,772
Malarkey. It's all malarkey.
279
00:16:58,849 --> 00:17:01,317
I guess I'll just be
on my way. Thank you.
280
00:17:03,620 --> 00:17:05,247
What took you so long?
281
00:17:05,856 --> 00:17:07,881
Hey, I had to go
all the way back
to the gas station.
282
00:17:07,958 --> 00:17:10,051
Okay.
We shouldn't have
to use our own cars.
283
00:17:10,127 --> 00:17:11,151
Well, what did Sherman say?
284
00:17:11,228 --> 00:17:12,889
He said go ahead
and stick on this guy.
285
00:17:12,963 --> 00:17:15,761
His name turns out
to be Rockford and he's a P.I.
286
00:17:15,932 --> 00:17:18,332
That's great.
What about the girl?
287
00:17:18,802 --> 00:17:20,531
He's got two other guys
on her now,
288
00:17:20,604 --> 00:17:23,095
but he says it may have
already gone down.
289
00:17:23,774 --> 00:17:26,368
Hello. Let me speak
with Mr. Friedler, please.
290
00:17:28,445 --> 00:17:30,879
Well, when he gets in,
tell him to call
Jennifer Sandstrom.
291
00:17:30,947 --> 00:17:32,005
It's urgent.
292
00:18:58,235 --> 00:18:59,463
Cops.
293
00:19:08,111 --> 00:19:10,807
Yes, this is Mr. Smith
in Room 24.
294
00:19:10,881 --> 00:19:12,007
I'm gonna take a little nap.
295
00:19:12,082 --> 00:19:14,915
Could you wake me
at 7:30, please?
296
00:19:15,218 --> 00:19:16,947
WOMAN: Yes, sir.
Thank you.
297
00:19:34,437 --> 00:19:35,495
Well?
298
00:19:35,572 --> 00:19:36,834
He's taking a nap.
299
00:19:36,907 --> 00:19:38,932
He left a wake-up call
for 7:30 tonight.
300
00:19:39,009 --> 00:19:41,102
Let's go. We can
check back here at 7:30
301
00:19:41,178 --> 00:19:42,645
if that's what
Sherman wants.
302
00:21:50,707 --> 00:21:52,299
Oh, hi.
303
00:21:52,976 --> 00:21:54,876
You ought to be able
to do better than that.
304
00:21:54,944 --> 00:21:56,172
You're upset.
305
00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:57,871
I can appreciate that.
306
00:21:58,281 --> 00:22:00,476
Why don't you
let me put a little extra
in the pot?
307
00:22:00,550 --> 00:22:01,812
Would you stay
for lunch?
308
00:22:02,886 --> 00:22:04,046
Yeah.
309
00:22:06,056 --> 00:22:07,284
Where you going?
310
00:22:09,426 --> 00:22:10,757
Now, wait a minute.
311
00:22:10,827 --> 00:22:12,624
What the hell
do you think
you're doing?
312
00:22:14,898 --> 00:22:16,798
I am going
to call the police.
313
00:22:17,067 --> 00:22:19,467
Just open the front door
and call out in a loud voice.
314
00:22:19,536 --> 00:22:20,696
What are you
talking about?
315
00:22:21,404 --> 00:22:23,395
Oh, come on, Tina,
don't tell me
you don't know
316
00:22:23,473 --> 00:22:26,772
there's four of L.A.'s finest
sitting outside,
drinking cold coffee.
317
00:22:30,313 --> 00:22:32,679
Well, well.
What have we here?
318
00:22:35,285 --> 00:22:37,810
You got paid.
What more do you want?
319
00:22:38,121 --> 00:22:40,180
That's just
about priceless.
320
00:22:44,427 --> 00:22:45,485
Wait a minute.
321
00:22:48,798 --> 00:22:51,426
Oh, so you think
I won't call the police, huh?
322
00:22:51,668 --> 00:22:52,862
Well...
323
00:22:56,506 --> 00:22:58,303
All right,
so I won't call the police.
324
00:22:58,375 --> 00:22:59,808
But that doesn't
give you any right
325
00:22:59,876 --> 00:23:01,867
to go prowling through
someone's personal effects.
326
00:23:03,913 --> 00:23:05,380
What are you doing?
327
00:23:05,982 --> 00:23:07,847
Just earning my money.
328
00:23:13,423 --> 00:23:14,720
(SIGHING)
329
00:23:17,894 --> 00:23:19,225
Well, well.
330
00:23:19,896 --> 00:23:21,625
Here we have the solution
331
00:23:21,698 --> 00:23:24,030
to the mystery of the letters
and the bracelet.
332
00:23:24,100 --> 00:23:25,397
Fascinating. I'm enthralled.
333
00:23:25,468 --> 00:23:26,901
Now would you
please get out of here?
334
00:23:26,970 --> 00:23:28,835
Oh, I could be
persuaded to leave.
335
00:23:28,905 --> 00:23:30,167
Of course, I have
a few conditions.
336
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,037
I was sure you would.
337
00:23:32,342 --> 00:23:34,503
Don't get too salty,
Miss Dusseau.
338
00:23:34,944 --> 00:23:36,809
Remember, I'm the guy
that got red-dogged.
339
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,677
Red-dogged?
Yeah.
It's a football term.
340
00:23:38,748 --> 00:23:40,181
That's where
the line opens up a hole
341
00:23:40,250 --> 00:23:43,310
and they shoot a linebacker
through to sack
the unsuspecting quarterback.
342
00:23:46,456 --> 00:23:48,890
Oh, my stew. It's burning.
343
00:23:50,894 --> 00:23:52,225
Aren't you coming?
344
00:23:52,295 --> 00:23:54,024
You didn't put it
on the stove.
345
00:23:54,798 --> 00:23:56,197
I notice little things
like that.
346
00:23:56,266 --> 00:23:57,358
I'm a detective, remember?
347
00:23:57,434 --> 00:23:59,527
If you want to get rid of me,
you'll have to do
better than that.
348
00:23:59,836 --> 00:24:03,203
It's just that
everything around here
is so messy. You know...
349
00:24:05,575 --> 00:24:07,543
Well, now,
don't feel too bad.
350
00:24:07,610 --> 00:24:08,599
What were you gonna do?
351
00:24:08,678 --> 00:24:10,339
Get a chill,
come in to get a sweater,
352
00:24:10,413 --> 00:24:13,610
and then pick up
your cute little
chrome-plated cannon,
353
00:24:13,683 --> 00:24:15,173
chase me out into the street?
354
00:24:15,418 --> 00:24:17,318
I saved you a lot of trouble.
355
00:24:18,021 --> 00:24:20,546
You know,
I could get very tired
of all this clever chatter.
356
00:24:20,623 --> 00:24:23,183
You know,
that makes my palms
just all sweaty.
357
00:24:24,561 --> 00:24:25,789
Where we going?
358
00:24:25,862 --> 00:24:28,422
First we're gonna
get out of here
and then...
359
00:24:28,498 --> 00:24:30,159
Then you're gonna
tell me why you sent me
360
00:24:30,233 --> 00:24:32,531
to the Sandstrom house.
Although I have
a pretty fair idea,
361
00:24:32,602 --> 00:24:34,092
I'd like to hear
all the gory little details.
362
00:24:34,170 --> 00:24:36,798
Now, wait a minute. Just...
Wait, wait a minute.
363
00:24:37,207 --> 00:24:42,076
Okay, so you just selected
the Alice Sandstrom drowning
out of the paper at random,
364
00:24:42,445 --> 00:24:43,912
sent me up there.
365
00:24:44,113 --> 00:24:47,412
Then you gave me the envelope
so that when I left my trailer
366
00:24:47,617 --> 00:24:49,517
I'd take the two cops
off you.
367
00:24:50,386 --> 00:24:52,445
Now, I want to know
why they're interested
in you
368
00:24:52,522 --> 00:24:55,252
and I want to know
what I got myself
involved in.
369
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:57,348
Hello.
370
00:24:58,928 --> 00:25:01,328
Okay, you're on.
Make it good honey, huh?
371
00:25:01,764 --> 00:25:03,789
Aunt Elizabeth always said
you could dance.
372
00:25:03,867 --> 00:25:05,164
Funny.
373
00:25:06,269 --> 00:25:08,362
Well, I guess
it won't hurt to tell you.
374
00:25:08,438 --> 00:25:11,339
Pacific Trust insures
the Delany jewelry collection.
375
00:25:12,308 --> 00:25:14,105
It's worth maybe $3,000,000.
376
00:25:14,277 --> 00:25:15,266
Anyway,
377
00:25:15,345 --> 00:25:17,472
the whole collection
was stolen from
the Delany house
378
00:25:17,547 --> 00:25:18,605
about two weeks ago.
379
00:25:18,681 --> 00:25:20,546
Pacific Trust was contacted
by the thieves
380
00:25:20,617 --> 00:25:22,881
and offered a chance
to buy back the collection
381
00:25:22,952 --> 00:25:24,249
at half the price,
382
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,915
which was a lot cheaper
than paying off
the insurance claim.
383
00:25:28,358 --> 00:25:30,883
No. But they wanted
the cops kept on the outside
of the deal.
384
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,326
And they wanted me
to be the go-between.
385
00:25:33,763 --> 00:25:36,755
'Cause they figured
I was a girl and I wouldn't be
much of a threat to them.
386
00:25:36,833 --> 00:25:39,825
Oh, but they didn't know
that you keep
a chrome-plated.38
387
00:25:39,903 --> 00:25:42,428
right next to
your pearl drop earrings.
388
00:25:42,505 --> 00:25:44,496
You're determined to be flip,
aren't you?
389
00:25:44,574 --> 00:25:46,439
Hey, come on now.
Give me a break, huh?
390
00:25:46,509 --> 00:25:49,478
I'm trying to walk off
a big emotional
disappointment.
391
00:25:49,646 --> 00:25:52,513
TINA: Anyway, somehow
the cops must have gotten wind
of the exchange
392
00:25:52,582 --> 00:25:54,482
that took place at 2:00
this afternoon.
393
00:25:54,551 --> 00:25:57,145
I was on my way
to the insurance company
to pick up the money
394
00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:58,448
that came
in a manila envelope.
395
00:25:58,521 --> 00:26:01,149
I looked out
the front of my house
and I saw two cops.
396
00:26:01,224 --> 00:26:03,658
So I decided to make
a duplicate envelope.
397
00:26:04,260 --> 00:26:05,727
$3 worth, please.
398
00:26:05,862 --> 00:26:07,124
So you...
399
00:26:07,196 --> 00:26:08,663
You smuggled it
out to your car,
400
00:26:08,731 --> 00:26:10,028
you went to
the insurance company,
401
00:26:10,099 --> 00:26:12,624
you picked up the money
and then on your way
to make the switch,
402
00:26:12,702 --> 00:26:15,227
you dropped by my place
with the phony envelope.
403
00:26:15,305 --> 00:26:17,899
And I walked out of my trailer
waving it like a flag,
404
00:26:17,974 --> 00:26:20,465
and I've had those two cops
following me ever since.
405
00:26:20,543 --> 00:26:22,067
I don't see what harm it did.
406
00:26:22,145 --> 00:26:24,306
I made the switch.
The insurance company
has the jewelry.
407
00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:25,847
And you have $200.
408
00:26:26,049 --> 00:26:28,574
Well, the only thing wrong
with all that is
409
00:26:28,918 --> 00:26:31,716
I think that Alice Sandstrom
was really murdered.
410
00:26:32,188 --> 00:26:33,212
You're kidding.
411
00:26:33,289 --> 00:26:35,382
I told you
I was a good detective.
412
00:26:35,525 --> 00:26:37,823
I think that she was drowned
in her own swimming pool,
413
00:26:37,894 --> 00:26:39,623
taken out
and thrown in the ocean.
414
00:26:39,696 --> 00:26:41,755
Hmm.
I called Lieutenant Diehl
down at the police station...
415
00:26:41,831 --> 00:26:43,298
Lieutenant Thomas Diehl?
...and climbed his tree.
416
00:26:43,366 --> 00:26:44,731
Yeah. You know him?
417
00:26:44,801 --> 00:26:45,825
Do I!
418
00:26:45,902 --> 00:26:47,062
He hates me.
419
00:26:47,236 --> 00:26:48,464
Yeah, me, too.
420
00:26:49,138 --> 00:26:52,005
Well, anyway, we're going
down there, and you're gonna
clear me with Diehl.
421
00:26:52,075 --> 00:26:54,373
You're gonna tell him
you sent me off
on a wild goose chase
422
00:26:54,444 --> 00:26:57,106
to get those
two cops off of me
that were following you.
423
00:26:57,180 --> 00:26:59,614
Oh, no. I'm not going to
the police station
424
00:26:59,682 --> 00:27:02,173
to scrub you clean with Diehl.
Not on your life.
425
00:27:02,986 --> 00:27:05,181
You got a permit
to carry this thing?
426
00:27:05,955 --> 00:27:07,582
Oh, come on.
427
00:27:07,657 --> 00:27:09,147
Lieutenant Diehl will
pull your ticket
428
00:27:09,225 --> 00:27:11,056
for carrying
an unauthorized weapon.
429
00:27:12,495 --> 00:27:15,055
Why, I never saw that gun
before in my life.
430
00:27:15,665 --> 00:27:18,691
Well, you're gonna be
wearing it when we see Diehl
just the same.
431
00:27:19,135 --> 00:27:20,432
You wouldn't.
432
00:27:21,070 --> 00:27:22,435
We're colleagues.
433
00:27:22,639 --> 00:27:24,197
I'm just thinning out
the field.
434
00:27:24,273 --> 00:27:25,467
It's good for business.
435
00:27:26,209 --> 00:27:27,369
(GROANS)
436
00:27:27,944 --> 00:27:29,070
All right.
437
00:27:29,879 --> 00:27:32,677
But if I go in there
and I get you straight
with Diehl, that's it, right?
438
00:27:32,749 --> 00:27:33,738
Right.
439
00:27:34,484 --> 00:27:35,576
MAN: That's $3.
440
00:27:35,652 --> 00:27:36,778
Right.
441
00:27:37,353 --> 00:27:38,752
Thank you.
You bet.
442
00:27:38,855 --> 00:27:41,551
The thing is
that Diehl is
such a cluck.
443
00:27:42,225 --> 00:27:43,317
Yeah.
444
00:27:55,438 --> 00:27:57,372
You got any idea
what this cost the County?
445
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,738
You got the faintest idea?
I just thought
it'd be a good idea
446
00:27:59,809 --> 00:28:01,276
if you looked...
Okay, we checked.
447
00:28:01,344 --> 00:28:03,244
This lady got no pool water
in her lungs.
448
00:28:03,312 --> 00:28:05,246
She jumped off
the Santa Monica Pier.
449
00:28:05,314 --> 00:28:06,804
She left a suicide note.
450
00:28:06,883 --> 00:28:09,044
She's been in deep analysis
for over two years.
451
00:28:09,118 --> 00:28:11,416
Her psychiatrist says
she was suicidal.
452
00:28:11,521 --> 00:28:13,182
What does it take
to satisfy you, Rockford?
453
00:28:13,256 --> 00:28:15,747
Oh, I'd say
that right about now
I'm satisfied.
454
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:17,553
What do you got
to do with this?
455
00:28:17,627 --> 00:28:21,154
She's the one that hired me
to investigate the drowning.
She's my client.
456
00:28:21,230 --> 00:28:24,529
I have been dreading the day
when you two would
get together on anything.
457
00:28:25,768 --> 00:28:27,531
Miss Dusseau,
if it wouldn't be
too much trouble,
458
00:28:27,603 --> 00:28:29,901
would you mind
explaining to me
why you hired Rockford?
459
00:28:31,874 --> 00:28:35,571
I was trying to get
the two detectives who work
for Sergeant Vince Sherman
460
00:28:36,045 --> 00:28:38,070
to follow Rockford
instead of me.
461
00:28:38,247 --> 00:28:39,305
I see.
462
00:28:39,816 --> 00:28:41,784
I see,
and why would you
want to do that?
463
00:28:41,851 --> 00:28:44,376
That is privileged
client information.
464
00:28:44,620 --> 00:28:46,554
Come on.
It is police business.
465
00:28:46,656 --> 00:28:48,487
Lieutenant,
I'm not gonna tell you.
466
00:28:49,058 --> 00:28:51,618
If you're that curious,
you can ask Sergeant Sherman.
He knows.
467
00:28:51,694 --> 00:28:55,289
Look, Lieutenant,
why stand around
yammering with us, huh?
468
00:28:55,364 --> 00:28:57,855
What do you expect to
get out of a couple
of jerk private eyes?
469
00:28:57,934 --> 00:28:59,629
Why don't we just say
we made a big mistake
470
00:28:59,702 --> 00:29:01,670
and Tina and I'll
get out of your life, huh?
471
00:29:01,738 --> 00:29:03,171
In the two and a half years
I've known you,
472
00:29:03,239 --> 00:29:04,934
that's the first thing
you've ever said
I can get behind.
473
00:29:10,313 --> 00:29:11,405
Hey.
What?
474
00:29:11,547 --> 00:29:12,912
On the way back,
475
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:16,082
I want to drop by
the Sandstrom house
for a minute. Do you mind?
476
00:29:16,152 --> 00:29:19,713
Of course I mind.
I don't want to get in trouble
with Lieutenant Diehl.
477
00:29:19,789 --> 00:29:22,189
If we go there,
we're just asking for it.
478
00:29:22,525 --> 00:29:24,686
Yeah. Yeah, well,
it'll only take a minute.
479
00:29:32,167 --> 00:29:34,692
Oh, come on, Jim.
I'm not impressed
with this sort of thing.
480
00:29:34,770 --> 00:29:36,829
Either you know something
or you don't.
481
00:29:36,905 --> 00:29:38,600
There was no pool truck.
482
00:29:38,740 --> 00:29:40,640
The door in the back
of the house was jimmied,
483
00:29:40,709 --> 00:29:42,973
but there was no pool truck
out front.
484
00:29:43,078 --> 00:29:45,444
Oh, that sheds
a lot of light
on everything.
485
00:29:45,847 --> 00:29:48,543
You know,
you have a tendency
for flip remarks yourself.
486
00:29:54,289 --> 00:29:55,916
You know that pool man.
487
00:29:56,258 --> 00:29:59,523
He said he didn't have
parts to fix the filter.
488
00:29:59,861 --> 00:30:03,194
You'd just think
they'd always carry parts
to fix a filter.
489
00:30:03,465 --> 00:30:05,057
Yeah, you'd think
they would.
490
00:30:07,602 --> 00:30:09,934
All right, I give up.
What are we looking for?
491
00:30:10,138 --> 00:30:12,038
The guy was carrying
a pool skimmer.
492
00:30:12,107 --> 00:30:15,941
You know the little thing
you fish the leaves
and bugs out of the pool.
493
00:30:16,011 --> 00:30:17,308
See if you can find it.
494
00:30:21,416 --> 00:30:24,544
Seems strange
you wouldn't notice that truck
was missing before.
495
00:30:24,619 --> 00:30:28,077
Well, I just assumed
that there was a back exit
to this place
496
00:30:28,156 --> 00:30:29,783
and he was parked
in the back.
497
00:30:32,394 --> 00:30:35,192
There's no back road here,
and there's no pool skimmer.
498
00:30:36,097 --> 00:30:38,361
Guy just picked it up
and carried it off.
499
00:30:38,934 --> 00:30:43,234
Guy in his shirtsleeves,
carrying a pool skimmer
just looks like a pool man.
500
00:30:43,438 --> 00:30:44,996
It's an instant disguise.
501
00:30:49,144 --> 00:30:50,839
I wouldn't break in there
if I were you.
502
00:30:50,912 --> 00:30:52,402
I'm not breaking in.
503
00:30:52,514 --> 00:30:54,607
It's been jimmied.
I told you that.
504
00:31:25,380 --> 00:31:26,779
"Police, fire,
505
00:31:27,649 --> 00:31:28,638
"pool service."
506
00:31:32,220 --> 00:31:33,517
This is Mr. Brice.
507
00:31:33,588 --> 00:31:37,046
And we're handling the estate
of Alice Sandstrom
508
00:31:37,459 --> 00:31:41,452
and I'm sorry, but I'm afraid
we're going to have to
terminate the pool service.
509
00:31:42,497 --> 00:31:44,931
Yes. Yes,
it was a terrible shame.
510
00:31:45,433 --> 00:31:46,695
Look, for our records,
511
00:31:46,768 --> 00:31:48,963
could you tell me
when the last time
512
00:31:49,037 --> 00:31:51,096
that the pool was serviced?
513
00:31:52,741 --> 00:31:54,971
Uh-huh, and that was
the last time?
514
00:31:55,877 --> 00:31:57,242
No. No. No problem,
515
00:31:57,312 --> 00:31:59,041
just send us
a final statement,
please.
516
00:31:59,114 --> 00:32:00,411
Yes. Thank you.
517
00:32:01,449 --> 00:32:02,882
Come and take
a look at this.
518
00:32:11,059 --> 00:32:13,789
Now, who would paint a room
and put on new curtains,
519
00:32:13,862 --> 00:32:15,989
if they intended
to commit suicide?
520
00:32:16,331 --> 00:32:18,856
Hmm. Taking a little
busman's holiday, I see.
521
00:32:18,934 --> 00:32:20,561
It is pretty strange,
don't you think?
522
00:32:21,369 --> 00:32:23,428
Yeah. Yeah.
523
00:32:23,939 --> 00:32:26,203
It turns out the pool man
was a phony.
524
00:32:26,274 --> 00:32:28,834
The last time
they had anybody up here
was Tuesday.
525
00:32:29,577 --> 00:32:31,670
Do you think
it really was him
that jimmied the door?
526
00:32:31,746 --> 00:32:33,611
I suppose
he has to be considered.
527
00:32:33,682 --> 00:32:35,445
What would he want
inside the house?
528
00:32:36,351 --> 00:32:39,252
Well, maybe it was these.
529
00:32:41,990 --> 00:32:43,514
Safe-deposit box?
530
00:32:44,125 --> 00:32:45,114
Yup.
531
00:32:47,562 --> 00:32:49,052
Where did you get these?
532
00:32:49,464 --> 00:32:51,056
Well, I'd rather not say.
533
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,696
Do you want to
call Lieutenant Diehl
and let him in on this?
534
00:32:54,903 --> 00:32:56,131
Do you?
No.
535
00:33:01,376 --> 00:33:03,469
We could send him
an anonymous letter.
536
00:33:04,212 --> 00:33:05,543
Hmm. He'd know.
537
00:33:06,147 --> 00:33:07,136
Yeah.
538
00:33:08,183 --> 00:33:09,548
We could forget
the whole thing.
539
00:33:09,617 --> 00:33:11,642
After all, we don't owe
any of these people anything.
540
00:33:11,753 --> 00:33:14,278
(CLICKING TONGUE)
Now, don't go heroic on me.
541
00:33:16,825 --> 00:33:18,622
You're right.
Let's get out of here.
542
00:33:52,927 --> 00:33:54,394
Look at it this way.
543
00:33:54,462 --> 00:33:55,895
It probably was a suicide.
544
00:33:55,964 --> 00:33:59,161
I mean, Diehl wouldn't lie
about her psychiatrist
saying she was suicidal.
545
00:33:59,234 --> 00:34:00,258
Yeah. I know.
546
00:34:00,335 --> 00:34:02,769
Her sister Jennifer said
she was in and out
of a mental institute
547
00:34:02,837 --> 00:34:03,963
for two years.
548
00:34:04,039 --> 00:34:05,506
You see,
that corroborates it.
549
00:34:05,573 --> 00:34:08,133
So she painted a room
and went out
and jumped off a pier.
550
00:34:08,209 --> 00:34:10,040
What about the pool man?
What about him?
551
00:34:10,111 --> 00:34:13,547
A friendly neighbor
who didn't want to see
the filter get clogged.
552
00:34:13,615 --> 00:34:15,242
I know,
it's a little strange.
553
00:34:15,583 --> 00:34:17,278
But I'm sure
if we thought about it
long enough,
554
00:34:17,352 --> 00:34:20,287
we could come up
with at least a dozen reasons
for the pool man.
555
00:34:20,355 --> 00:34:21,617
Yeah, I suppose.
556
00:34:45,346 --> 00:34:46,938
Where do you want me
to drop you off?
557
00:34:47,015 --> 00:34:48,039
At home.
558
00:34:48,583 --> 00:34:50,141
Oh, say, I've got
some of that stew left.
559
00:34:50,218 --> 00:34:51,515
Do you want to
stay for dinner?
560
00:34:53,555 --> 00:34:54,579
Hmm.

(CAR ACCELERATING)
565
00:35:23,952 --> 00:35:27,012
If you hadn't taken
the bullets out of my gun,
we could have shot back.
566
00:35:27,088 --> 00:35:29,113
Well, you can't shoot
what you can't see.
567
00:35:30,191 --> 00:35:32,125
So much
for the suicide theory.
568
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,852
All right.
569
00:35:34,796 --> 00:35:36,525
Come on,
let's go up there
570
00:35:36,831 --> 00:35:39,026
and get the spare on
and get out of here.
571
00:35:39,634 --> 00:35:41,295
I can do it.
All right.
572
00:35:42,437 --> 00:35:44,462
Stay where you are.
I'll check and see
if it's clear.

574
00:35:53,548 --> 00:35:54,572
Brice?
575
00:35:59,554 --> 00:36:00,782
Sandstrom.
576
00:36:01,489 --> 00:36:02,581
Lieutenant,
577
00:36:02,824 --> 00:36:05,088
Sergeant Sherman's
on the patch-through
on your car right now.
578
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,149
Thanks.
579
00:36:10,598 --> 00:36:12,190
This is Lieutenant Diehl
speaking, Sergeant.
580
00:36:12,267 --> 00:36:14,792
I got a body out here
in the junkyard.
He's been shot twice.
581
00:36:14,869 --> 00:36:16,700
The guy's name is Tom Brice.
582
00:36:16,871 --> 00:36:19,237
He's an attorney
for Alice Sandstrom.
583
00:36:19,307 --> 00:36:22,105
You got anything
that ties Rockford
or Tina Dusseau into this?
584
00:36:22,343 --> 00:36:23,469
SHERMAN: Yeah.
585
00:36:23,545 --> 00:36:25,240
I've just been readingthrough Deek's report.
586
00:36:25,513 --> 00:36:26,707
We got a match-up.
587
00:36:26,781 --> 00:36:29,249
Rockford was upat that house about the timeBrice was there.
588
00:36:29,317 --> 00:36:31,376
Maybe he followed him outand dropped the hammer on him.
589
00:36:32,287 --> 00:36:34,653
Okay. If we can put
Rockford with Brice
this morning,
590
00:36:34,722 --> 00:36:37,156
I want a warrant
put out on him.
Suspicion of murder.
591
00:36:37,625 --> 00:36:39,525
We better get a time of deathfrom the M.E.
592
00:36:39,594 --> 00:36:41,357
We need a match-upon the time.
593
00:36:41,429 --> 00:36:42,555
We need motive.
594
00:36:42,630 --> 00:36:43,995
It's a little thin.
595
00:36:44,566 --> 00:36:46,500
Suspicion is just
what it says.
596
00:36:46,634 --> 00:36:48,659
Suspicion, Sergeant.
Pick him up.
597
00:36:54,772 --> 00:36:58,071
Well, this is Sunday,
so we can't get into
that safe-deposit box
598
00:36:55,142 --> 00:36:56,166
until tomorrow.
599
00:36:56,243 --> 00:36:57,301
What are we gonna do?
600
00:36:57,377 --> 00:36:59,140
Well, ordinarily,
I'd go to the police,
601
00:36:59,213 --> 00:37:02,011
but we just can't prove
anybody tried to kill us.
602
00:37:02,182 --> 00:37:04,343
And I get the feeling
Lieutenant Diehl would have
603
00:37:04,418 --> 00:37:07,046
a rooting interest
in the killer. So that
doesn't make much sense.
604
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,680
How are we gonna get in
that safe-deposit box?
605
00:37:10,290 --> 00:37:11,951
Well, first we go back
to Alice's house,
606
00:37:12,025 --> 00:37:13,822
get something with
her signature on it,
607
00:37:13,894 --> 00:37:17,159
and then we'll do
what we can tomorrow
to make you look like Alice.
608
00:37:17,764 --> 00:37:20,995
Oh, no. The lady
who lets the people
in the safe-deposit box area
609
00:37:21,068 --> 00:37:24,037
is not gonna be fooled.
She probably knows what
Alice Sandstrom looks like.
610
00:37:24,104 --> 00:37:26,197
Well, that's why we wait
until she goes to lunch.
611
00:37:26,273 --> 00:37:28,639
Then we hit on the substitute
during the lunch hour.
612
00:37:28,709 --> 00:37:30,904
It's a gamble,
but it's the best chance
we got.
613
00:37:32,045 --> 00:37:34,138
Oh, by the way,
we don't have to go
back to the house.
614
00:37:34,214 --> 00:37:36,307
Well, we gotta get something
with her signature on it,
615
00:37:36,383 --> 00:37:38,248
so you can learn
how to sign her name.
616
00:37:38,318 --> 00:37:41,185
I stole these canceled checks
from off her desk.
617
00:37:41,555 --> 00:37:42,920
I figured
if we look through them
618
00:37:42,990 --> 00:37:44,719
we might find something
that was interesting.

to get involved."

Look.
627
00:38:05,746 --> 00:38:07,145
Yeah. Yeah.
That's not too bad.
628
00:38:07,214 --> 00:38:09,648
Only I'd broaden
the "A" in Sandstrom.
629
00:38:09,983 --> 00:38:11,746
Really?
I think it's all right.
630
00:38:11,818 --> 00:38:14,082
She did have
a sort of a cramped hand.
631
00:38:14,254 --> 00:38:15,721
Typical of the paranoid.
632
00:38:16,556 --> 00:38:19,047
You know, Jim,
maybe she did commit suicide.
633
00:38:19,593 --> 00:38:22,824
Maybe the man that shot at us
this afternoon was really
after something else.
634
00:38:23,363 --> 00:38:24,694
Well,
I think she was murdered.

named Tom Brice.
645
00:38:55,696 --> 00:38:57,561
Is he here,
or do you know where he is?

No, I don't.
But you're welcome
to come in and have a look.

we don't have
a search warrant.

Well, thank you.

00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:28,593
It was a nice job.
654
00:39:28,829 --> 00:39:30,490
You heard?
Yeah.
655
00:39:30,564 --> 00:39:32,395
Now, who would want
to kill Tom Brice?
656
00:39:32,966 --> 00:39:34,661
Well, look,
let's just put this together
657
00:39:34,868 --> 00:39:36,995
with some structure
that fits, huh?
658
00:39:38,271 --> 00:39:40,762
There is a safe-deposit box
with something in it.
659
00:39:40,841 --> 00:39:43,469
Something that
somebody's willing
to kill for, huh?
660
00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:46,071
Now, Tom Brice went up
to that house
661
00:39:46,279 --> 00:39:48,213
to look for some jewelry,
but he found a key,
662
00:39:48,281 --> 00:39:50,545
which he didn't know
was there.
But somebody else did.
663
00:39:50,617 --> 00:39:53,085
They went up there,
they jimmied the door.
664
00:39:53,387 --> 00:39:55,184
Tom Brice interrupted them.
665
00:39:55,355 --> 00:39:57,585
So the guy went
out by the pool
and just puttered around.
666
00:39:57,657 --> 00:39:58,988
And that's when I arrived.
667
00:39:59,059 --> 00:40:00,617
So he decided
to get the hell out of there.
668
00:40:00,694 --> 00:40:03,094
Now, I bluffed Tom Brice
out of the key,
669
00:40:03,296 --> 00:40:04,854
but the killer
didn't know that.
670
00:40:04,931 --> 00:40:06,125
He followed Tom Brice
671
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,531
to a spot where
they could have
a little conversation.
672
00:40:08,602 --> 00:40:09,728
Things got rough.
673
00:40:09,803 --> 00:40:12,829
He wound up killing Brice
and he looked for the key,
but it wasn't there.
674
00:40:12,906 --> 00:40:14,339
He still hasn't found it.
675
00:40:14,408 --> 00:40:16,467
And he made a try
for us this afternoon.
676
00:40:16,543 --> 00:40:18,340
It's a theory.
It's a good one.
677
00:40:18,912 --> 00:40:21,210
Hey,
I better get out of here.
They're liable to come back.
678
00:40:21,281 --> 00:40:22,646
Wait a minute.
I'm going with you.
679
00:40:25,685 --> 00:40:27,983
We're gonna have to
get rid of this car
and get a rental.
680
00:40:28,789 --> 00:40:30,086
I'd better rent it.
681
00:40:30,157 --> 00:40:33,024
Okay. Then we'll check
into a motel.
682
00:40:33,794 --> 00:40:35,523
We'll wait until 12:00 noon.
683
00:40:36,029 --> 00:40:37,724
Are you trying to corrupt me?
684
00:40:39,132 --> 00:40:41,464
Yeah. Yeah.
I think maybe I am.
685
00:40:45,038 --> 00:40:46,733
You know, this is funny.
686
00:40:47,140 --> 00:40:49,665
Here we are,

and it's...
687

It's funny.

00:41:29,182 --> 00:41:30,376
Yes. My name
is Alice Sandstrom.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's getting out of control,
Pete.
700
00:42:34,047 --> 00:42:36,311
There's somebody at the bank
trying to get at that box.
701
00:42:37,417 --> 00:42:39,544
If the authorities
get that box, we're cooked.
702
00:42:39,986 --> 00:42:41,476
Look, I had to do it.
703
00:42:41,555 --> 00:42:43,989
You didn't need to kill her.
You didn't need
to kill Brice.
704
00:42:45,525 --> 00:42:46,787
Now, look here.
705
00:42:48,428 --> 00:42:50,157
This is
a tough business.
706
00:42:50,664 --> 00:42:52,495
There's a lot
of bread in it.
707
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,597
You don't like the risk,
you don't get involved.
708
00:42:59,906 --> 00:43:01,339
You'd better take care of it.
709
00:43:07,447 --> 00:43:09,142
She had a baby.
710
00:43:09,716 --> 00:43:11,547
Yeah. This is
the birth certificate.
711
00:43:14,321 --> 00:43:17,347
That explains
the baby blue room
with the new curtains.
712
00:43:17,557 --> 00:43:20,720
It also says she was afraid
she might be murdered.
713
00:43:21,661 --> 00:43:24,186
She certainly was psychotic.
Look how it rambles.
714
00:43:24,531 --> 00:43:28,991
It looks like she had a baby
and gave it over to some guy
named Pete Finch.
715
00:43:29,069 --> 00:43:31,401
Then she had a change of mind,
tried to get it back
716
00:43:32,339 --> 00:43:36,002
and threatened to expose
the whole baby racket,
and they killed her.
717
00:43:36,710 --> 00:43:37,734
The pool man?
718
00:43:38,411 --> 00:43:42,142
Well, we won't know that
until we can get a look
at this guy Pete Finch.
719
00:43:42,215 --> 00:43:47,152
It says here Attorney
Aaron Friedler set up
the whole deal.
720
00:43:47,387 --> 00:43:49,548
And her sister Jennifer
was in on it, huh?
721
00:43:49,956 --> 00:43:51,389
Yeah, probably.
722
00:43:51,458 --> 00:43:55,224
Probably Jennifer didn't want
her sister to have an heir.
723
00:43:55,528 --> 00:43:57,655
You said it best.
What do you mean?

"Daddy left us
a lot of money."
725
00:44:38,972 --> 00:44:40,735
My house is only
a couple of blocks from here.
726
00:44:40,807 --> 00:44:42,502
Why don't we go there
and call Lieutenant Diehl?
727
00:44:43,009 --> 00:44:45,569
The cops are probably
staking out your place.

You going toward my house?
There are cops there.

Well, I'm not talking
to anyone until I see
my lawyer.
742
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:01,704
Hey, Pete.
743
00:47:01,781 --> 00:47:03,112
You're a lousy shot.
744

and pick up Friedler.

Yeah, the charge is
the murder of Alice Sandstrom
and Tom Brice.
746
00:47:12,225 --> 00:47:14,420
And get somebody
to check way back on Finch.
747
00:47:14,494 --> 00:47:17,463
I think we just might have
the tip of a big baby racket
going here.
748
00:47:18,231 --> 00:47:20,062
And tell the D.A.
I want to see him at 4:00.
749

involved in this.

Yup. Could be a biggie.

Right.

00:47:24,871 --> 00:47:28,034
Hey, Lieutenant, I hate to be
a stickler for details,
753
00:47:28,107 --> 00:47:31,873
but you forgot to add
two counts of attempted murder
to those charges.
754
00:47:32,011 --> 00:47:34,639

Miss Dusseau and myself.

come right to us
when you turned up the key?

Well...
And why didn't you call us
when you found out

00:47:58,504 --> 00:47:59,835
she had a safe-deposit box?
761
00:47:59,906 --> 00:48:02,067
Well, now, on that one...
How come you broke
into the house?

Well,
I didn't really break in...
763
00:48:03,476 --> 00:48:06,468
You know, Rockford,
for a guy who's such
a stickler for details,
764
00:48:07,146 --> 00:48:09,205
you play very sloppy ball.
765
00:48:09,549 --> 00:48:10,538
Yeah.
766
00:48:10,650 --> 00:48:13,448
Yeah, I guess if you want to
overlook the fact
767
00:48:13,519 --> 00:48:18,218
that I took a suicide out of
your wastebasket and put it on
the D.A.'s murder docket.

I can't figure out
what Becker likes about you.

because he can beat me
at handball.

What do you mean?
You were doing fine.
775
00:48:39,178 --> 00:48:40,873
You did say to tell him
what he wanted to hear,
776
00:48:40,947 --> 00:48:42,642
and I figured he didn't want
to hear from me.

You know,
I feel great.
780
00:48:46,486 --> 00:48:49,421
We stuck to this thing
because our instincts told us
we were right.
781
00:48:49,489 --> 00:48:51,013
And we ended up
catching a murderer,
782
00:48:51,090 --> 00:48:53,024
exposing a multimillion dollar
baby plot,
783
00:48:53,092 --> 00:48:54,992
and we may have gotten
a little boy his heritage.

00:48:55,061 --> 00:48:56,460
Real heroic stuff.
785
00:48:59,098 --> 00:49:01,089
You rented it.
It's your ticket.
786
00:49:05,772 --> 00:49:06,761
Look,
787
00:49:07,407 --> 00:49:08,499
you don't quite understand.
788
00:49:08,574 --> 00:49:10,235
You see,
the police impounded this car.
789
00:49:10,310 --> 00:49:12,471
Then they drove it around here
and they parked it here.
790
00:49:12,545 --> 00:49:14,445
We don't deserve a ticket.
I'm sorry.
791
00:49:15,081 --> 00:49:16,981
But... Wait a minute.
792
00:49:17,050 --> 00:49:18,984
I just said
that I didn't park it.
793
00:49:19,052 --> 00:49:20,485
The police did.
You can ask them.
794
00:49:20,553 --> 00:49:22,487
Go right in there
and ask them.
I'm sorry.
795
00:49:27,260 --> 00:49:28,318
You know, I try.
796
00:49:28,394 --> 00:49:29,861
I really try, Jim.
797
00:49:30,363 --> 00:49:32,092
But, damn it,
I hate cops.
