1
00:00:03,370 --> 00:00:05,134
Somebody almost
killed little Mary Carmony.
2
00:00:05,272 --> 00:00:06,331
Hey!
3
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:12,775
Hey, what's with you, man?
4
00:00:12,846 --> 00:00:13,870
You threatening us?
5
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:14,971
Am I ever.
6
00:00:15,048 --> 00:00:16,459
He was found in the
shrubbery this morning.
7
00:00:16,483 --> 00:00:17,594
I think I better read
you your rights.
8
00:00:17,618 --> 00:00:18,847
Why were you disbarred?
9
00:00:18,919 --> 00:00:21,354
Dismiss the case on a
point of legal precedent.
10
00:00:21,421 --> 00:00:23,549
Mr. Ward, why don't
you give me a break?
11
00:00:23,624 --> 00:00:25,752
Get a pail and start bailing.
12
00:00:28,262 --> 00:00:29,560
Cut them off, Coop.
13
00:00:36,370 --> 00:00:37,814
ROCKFORD ON ANSWERING
MACHINE: This is Jim Rockford.
14
00:00:37,838 --> 00:00:39,349
At the tone, leave your
name and message.
15
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:40,432
I'll get back to you.
16
00:00:41,608 --> 00:00:43,453
Jimmy, Angel. Here's a tip,
but his handwriting is bad.
17
00:00:43,477 --> 00:00:45,343
Third son in the fifth
race at Bell Meadows.
18
00:00:45,412 --> 00:00:47,438
Wait a minute, could
be fifth son in the third.
19
00:00:47,514 --> 00:00:49,813
Wait, this might be
next week's race.
20
00:02:40,127 --> 00:02:42,687
Hey, Mickey, you going downtown?
21
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:44,789
No.
22
00:02:45,632 --> 00:02:47,832
What's his name went down
to the store to get some brew.
23
00:02:47,868 --> 00:02:50,064
Who's what's his name?
24
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:53,767
You know, the guy,
what's his name.
25
00:02:54,708 --> 00:02:56,108
Here he comes, anyway.
26
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:57,868
Maniac, slow down.
27
00:03:02,849 --> 00:03:04,044
Maniac.
28
00:03:12,993 --> 00:03:15,019
Mary, you all right?
29
00:03:15,095 --> 00:03:16,893
I'm okay. Thanks.
30
00:03:25,839 --> 00:03:27,535
Get the beer, huh?
31
00:03:31,344 --> 00:03:33,677
Hey, what are you looking at?
32
00:03:53,100 --> 00:03:55,865
Now hold it, sonny. Hold it.
33
00:03:55,936 --> 00:03:57,461
Yeah, they done it all right.
34
00:03:57,537 --> 00:03:59,904
But, well, the cops are
there now, let them handle it.
35
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,670
They don't handle it.
You've told me 95 times.
36
00:04:02,743 --> 00:04:03,767
I know, I know.
37
00:04:03,844 --> 00:04:05,244
But, well, you see, that Eugene,
38
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:08,476
he's got a clear shot right through
his backyard to Georgina Street.
39
00:04:08,548 --> 00:04:10,176
He can see the cops coming.
40
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:11,290
By the time they get here,
41
00:04:11,318 --> 00:04:15,050
he's got the music turned off
and the squabbling all stopped.
42
00:04:16,456 --> 00:04:17,822
Look, look, I'm asking you,
43
00:04:17,891 --> 00:04:20,156
please don't do nothing, huh?
44
00:04:20,527 --> 00:04:21,859
Who knocked down the mailbox?
45
00:04:21,928 --> 00:04:24,056
Madonna, Officer, I wish I knew.
46
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,042
I'm in the house
with my friends, right?
47
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:27,796
We're listening to Carpenters.
48
00:04:27,868 --> 00:04:29,234
All of a sudden,
we hear a squeal.
49
00:04:29,302 --> 00:04:33,364
We run to the window, there's a
big cadi taking off down the block.
50
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,172
And his mailbox, ba-ba-bing,
down for the count.
51
00:04:37,244 --> 00:04:38,678
Says it was this Volkswagen.
52
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:42,876
Oh, gosh, Officer, this man is
wrong. I swear on my mother's grave.
53
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:45,544
He's old, am I right? Senile.
54
00:04:46,186 --> 00:04:49,156
Yeah, go ahead. Check
for paint on the bumper.
55
00:04:52,025 --> 00:04:53,136
How loud were these carpenters?
56
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,924
Were they deliberately
hammering loudly?
57
00:04:56,763 --> 00:05:01,792
No, Officer, the Carpenters are a
singing group, real gentle and sweet.
58
00:05:01,868 --> 00:05:04,280
He says you're playing hard rock
on your stereo. How loud was it?
59
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:05,381
What difference does that make?
60
00:05:05,405 --> 00:05:08,432
The sound laws don't come
on till 10:00 at night, am I right?
61
00:05:16,516 --> 00:05:20,419
Hey, hey. Now, come
on, huh? That's it?
62
00:05:20,487 --> 00:05:23,218
Now don't start nothing
like you did Tuesday, sonny.
63
00:05:23,290 --> 00:05:24,485
Maybe it just ain't worth it.
64
00:05:24,558 --> 00:05:25,890
All right, Dad, I won't.
65
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:28,793
That's right. It ain't worth it.
66
00:05:28,862 --> 00:05:32,390
Look at them now. Regular
little angels, ain't they?
67
00:05:32,465 --> 00:05:35,731
Laying low for a while, but
it'll all start up again tonight,
68
00:05:35,802 --> 00:05:38,328
busting the 10:00
noise rule and all.
69
00:05:39,039 --> 00:05:41,440
There ain't nobody around
here to prove what a hellhole
70
00:05:41,508 --> 00:05:43,136
they're making out
of our neighborhood.
71
00:05:43,210 --> 00:05:46,703
Yeah, well, we'll fix this mailbox,
then we'll go get some R&R.
72
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:48,908
Hey, Fannon's boat. All right.
73
00:05:50,984 --> 00:05:53,180
You know, you could
abide that rock and roll.
74
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:55,484
I even find my own
foot tapping sometimes.
75
00:05:55,555 --> 00:05:59,492
But that darn Eugene and his outfit,
they don't make allowances for no one.
76
00:05:59,559 --> 00:06:01,118
They never turn the music down.
77
00:06:01,194 --> 00:06:03,663
And they've been hounding
poor old Carl Gibbons over there.
78
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:06,256
They got him too
scared to file charges.
79
00:06:06,333 --> 00:06:09,599
Well, there. That's
about as good as new.
80
00:06:09,669 --> 00:06:13,663
You could live with the
Victrola turned up high,
81
00:06:13,740 --> 00:06:15,208
you could live
with them fast cars.
82
00:06:15,275 --> 00:06:19,337
But what I can't live with is...
83
00:06:19,412 --> 00:06:21,404
Well, this stinking fear.
84
00:06:21,481 --> 00:06:24,280
Yeah, well, you got your pole
and your tackle box all ready to go?
85
00:06:24,351 --> 00:06:25,614
Yeah. All right.
86
00:06:25,685 --> 00:06:26,983
Oh, hey, listen, I'm sorry.
87
00:06:27,053 --> 00:06:29,488
I got a phone call this morning.
88
00:06:29,556 --> 00:06:30,888
Some business matters came up.
89
00:06:30,957 --> 00:06:32,926
So, I'm just gonna have
to drop you at Fannon's,
90
00:06:32,993 --> 00:06:34,136
and then I'm going to take off.
91
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,958
Ah, what a crummy day.
92
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:06,993
At the tone, the time will be
10:22 p.m. and 10 seconds.
93
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,859
At the tone, the
time will be 10:22...
94
00:07:12,933 --> 00:07:14,868
Hey! Hey!
95
00:07:14,935 --> 00:07:15,935
And 20 seconds.
96
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:18,597
All right, all right.
97
00:07:21,808 --> 00:07:24,676
All right, who wants to take
count? Over here, over here.
98
00:07:24,744 --> 00:07:27,509
One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven.
99
00:07:27,580 --> 00:07:28,673
What do you want on yours?
100
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:30,115
Tomatoes.
101
00:07:31,117 --> 00:07:32,157
What do you want on yours?
102
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,186
Hey, what's with you, man?
103
00:07:39,259 --> 00:07:43,355
You pick those out of there, briquette
by briquette, and put them in that bag.
104
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:44,989
Go pick your feet.
105
00:07:46,633 --> 00:07:49,228
Here, lady, you
hold the bag for him.
106
00:07:51,237 --> 00:07:55,368
Hey, what the hell you think you're doing,
sonny Jim? This here's private property.
107
00:07:55,442 --> 00:07:59,004
He's nuts, Eugene. He said I
ripped off his old man's charcoals.
108
00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:01,480
I bought them charcoals
myself, sonny Jim.
109
00:08:01,548 --> 00:08:03,608
I'm not going to argue
with you, Conigliaro.
110
00:08:03,683 --> 00:08:06,175
I'm taking them back
to my dad's, next door.
111
00:08:06,252 --> 00:08:08,312
No kidding. We
was kind of thinking
112
00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:10,755
maybe you want to
get down, you know?
113
00:08:10,824 --> 00:08:13,760
Like you done the other
day. You remember?
114
00:08:13,827 --> 00:08:16,353
When you hit me
when I wasn't looking.
115
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:18,955
Oh, yeah, yeah. When
you broke the window?
116
00:08:19,032 --> 00:08:22,730
Yeah, well, it's kind of hard to see
anything when you're running away.
117
00:08:22,802 --> 00:08:24,794
I wasn't running, turkey.
118
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:28,306
Hey, you want to do the
number? 'Cause I'm ready.
119
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:30,241
Come on. Come on.
120
00:08:31,811 --> 00:08:34,178
How about that,
Harry High School.
121
00:08:34,247 --> 00:08:38,412
Are you, by chance, referring to anybody
who is present here at the festivity?
122
00:08:38,485 --> 00:08:41,785
Your dude's got a problem,
let me and Drew in for a piece.
123
00:08:41,855 --> 00:08:45,417
You're righteous hosts, and
we don't feature negative vibes.
124
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,953
Come on, chicky.
125
00:08:49,396 --> 00:08:51,729
What? You want me to go, huh?
126
00:08:51,798 --> 00:08:54,427
So all of you can jump
me, is that what you want?
127
00:08:54,501 --> 00:08:56,629
No, I've got a better idea.
128
00:08:57,871 --> 00:09:01,171
We will dance,
but one at a time.
129
00:09:01,241 --> 00:09:02,709
You threatening us?
130
00:09:02,776 --> 00:09:04,142
Am I ever.
131
00:09:05,345 --> 00:09:06,711
You don't frighten me.
132
00:09:10,517 --> 00:09:11,985
Oh, yes, I do.
133
00:09:12,685 --> 00:09:17,020
You keep listening to that little
voice way down inside you, Eugene,
134
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:21,152
the one that keeps screaming
at you, "Bounce back to Jersey."
135
00:09:27,233 --> 00:09:29,293
I don't believe that.
136
00:09:29,869 --> 00:09:31,565
Hey, hey, hey. All right.
137
00:09:47,954 --> 00:09:48,978
Morning, sir.
138
00:09:49,055 --> 00:09:50,079
Hey, what's going on?
139
00:09:50,156 --> 00:09:51,681
Is your name
James Rockford, sir?
140
00:09:51,758 --> 00:09:52,758
Yeah.
141
00:09:52,826 --> 00:09:55,159
Do you know a man by the
name of Mac Amodeus, sir?
142
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:57,254
No, why? What's the problem?
143
00:09:57,330 --> 00:09:58,491
Well, that's him, sir.
144
00:09:58,565 --> 00:09:59,842
He was found in the
shrubbery this morning.
145
00:09:59,866 --> 00:10:01,801
It appears he was
beaten to death.
146
00:10:01,868 --> 00:10:03,734
Sometime last night, huh?
147
00:10:03,803 --> 00:10:07,171
He was a guest of a Mr. Conigliaro
and a Mr. Long, next door.
148
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,720
Sir, witnesses over
there have told us
149
00:10:08,775 --> 00:10:10,920
that you threatened several
people at a party last night
150
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:13,914
and Mr. Amodeus was
one of them. Is that true?
151
00:10:13,980 --> 00:10:16,677
Sir, I think I better read
you your rights, okay?
152
00:10:16,749 --> 00:10:18,274
I know my rights.
153
00:10:18,351 --> 00:10:21,150
I didn't know this guy Amodeus
and I certainly didn't kill him.
154
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,552
Yes, sir, but that's up to
someone else to determine.
155
00:10:23,623 --> 00:10:26,092
In the meantime, "You
have the right to remain silent.
156
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:28,671
"Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.
157
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:31,130
"You have the
right to an attorney."
158
00:10:39,639 --> 00:10:41,835
I thought we'd
never get out of there.
159
00:10:41,908 --> 00:10:47,006
I know that Deputy DA Cowan. He's a real
hamburger. Hair-splitter extraordinaire.
160
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,982
However, he's got a heck
of a case. A heck of a case!
161
00:10:50,049 --> 00:10:51,608
How? I didn't do it.
162
00:10:51,684 --> 00:10:52,777
Hmm.
163
00:10:52,852 --> 00:10:55,515
The state can prove you
threatened four men at that party,
164
00:10:55,588 --> 00:10:57,284
the deceased being one of them.
165
00:10:57,357 --> 00:10:59,326
They can also prove
a long-standing enmity
166
00:10:59,392 --> 00:11:01,588
between you and members
of the Coniglio household.
167
00:11:01,661 --> 00:11:03,892
Can we just slow
down a minute, huh?
168
00:11:03,963 --> 00:11:07,058
I just spent the night in
jail, and it's Conigliaro.
169
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:10,865
Right. In a 187 PC,
you got your big three.
170
00:11:10,937 --> 00:11:12,838
Motive, weapon, opportunity.
171
00:11:12,906 --> 00:11:14,101
Don't ever forget that.
172
00:11:14,174 --> 00:11:17,611
In this case, weapon equals
bruised knuckles and sprained thumb
173
00:11:17,677 --> 00:11:19,021
the police discovered
on your right hand.
174
00:11:19,045 --> 00:11:21,055
I got that in a fight
with Eugene Conigliaro
175
00:11:21,079 --> 00:11:22,743
two days ago when
he broke a window.
176
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:23,815
Hmm.
177
00:11:23,883 --> 00:11:26,182
Look, Mr. Ward,
wait, wait, wait.
178
00:11:26,252 --> 00:11:29,916
Your attitude is making me smell
cyanide. I didn't murder this guy.
179
00:11:29,989 --> 00:11:33,084
Now, if you can't accept that fact
as part of your working philosophy,
180
00:11:33,159 --> 00:11:35,822
I'll see that Harcourt and Lowe
assign me a different attorney.
181
00:11:35,895 --> 00:11:39,059
Oh, oh, oh. Well, let's hold
our collective horses a sec.
182
00:11:39,132 --> 00:11:41,397
I didn't mean there's
no hope. Heck no.
183
00:11:41,467 --> 00:11:44,801
But whether I believe you
or not is nihil ad rem pertinet.
184
00:11:44,871 --> 00:11:47,466
What matters here is
strategy, and I've got one.
185
00:11:47,540 --> 00:11:49,485
Yeah, well, I can't tell you
how that makes me feel.
186
00:11:49,509 --> 00:11:51,589
You know, I was sitting
all alone in jail last night,
187
00:11:51,644 --> 00:11:53,722
I got to thinking about Beth not
being with the firm any longer.
188
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:55,271
Oh, great gal, great gal.
189
00:11:55,348 --> 00:11:59,683
I'm confident I can negotiate Cowan
down from Murder one to Murder two.
190
00:11:59,752 --> 00:12:03,314
Plea bargain? I'm not gonna bargain
for anything. I'm innocent of the crime.
191
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:05,324
All right, here's
the short strokes.
192
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:07,326
Four and a half to seven?
193
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,656
Or ten to twenty?
194
00:12:08,728 --> 00:12:10,492
I'm not going to cop a plea.
195
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:15,024
Jim? May I call you Jim? Hey, Jim, I
don't know you, you don't know me.
196
00:12:15,101 --> 00:12:16,278
Heck, you seem like a nice guy.
197
00:12:16,302 --> 00:12:19,136
I remember Beth brought you to a
Harcourt and Lowe Christmas party.
198
00:12:19,205 --> 00:12:22,039
But the thing is, if we're
gonna work together,
199
00:12:22,108 --> 00:12:26,204
you gotta realize that I work at
my own pace, in my own way.
200
00:12:26,279 --> 00:12:28,373
Oh, you do, huh?
201
00:12:28,448 --> 00:12:31,077
"Two roads diverged
in a yellow wood, and I
202
00:12:31,150 --> 00:12:33,381
"I took the one less traveled by
203
00:12:33,453 --> 00:12:36,321
"And that has made
all the difference"
204
00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:37,618
Robert Frost.
205
00:12:37,690 --> 00:12:39,090
Oh, bother, I know what that is.
206
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:42,356
It's the office calling about
US versus Ol' Dan'l Boone.
207
00:12:42,428 --> 00:12:43,919
Who?
208
00:12:43,997 --> 00:12:46,159
It's a fascinating
antitrust case.
209
00:12:46,232 --> 00:12:47,710
Five years they've been
taking it up the ladder.
210
00:12:47,734 --> 00:12:49,464
Sumner Harcourt
himself is going to argue it
211
00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:51,504
before the Supreme
Court in about a month.
212
00:12:51,571 --> 00:12:54,666
It's taken 10 years off the life
of Wade G. Ward, I can tell you.
213
00:12:54,741 --> 00:12:57,506
Yeah, well, you really think you
can handle two cases at once?
214
00:12:57,577 --> 00:12:58,577
Got to.
215
00:12:58,645 --> 00:13:03,674
Anyway, the SEC avers that Ol' Dan'l Boone
Distillers acted in restraint of trade
216
00:13:03,750 --> 00:13:06,618
by buying several
cocktail mixer corporations
217
00:13:06,686 --> 00:13:09,178
through their subsidiary,
American Carbonated Inc.
218
00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:10,314
Boy, it has been a bear.
219
00:13:10,390 --> 00:13:13,451
Oh, fascinating. I bet you
can hardly put the briefs down.
220
00:13:13,526 --> 00:13:15,324
Hi, Patty, what's up?
221
00:13:15,395 --> 00:13:16,395
Uh-huh.
222
00:13:16,896 --> 00:13:18,762
Uh-huh. Uh-huh.
223
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:22,393
Look, Mr. Ward, I really need a
shower bad, but I do want to talk to you.
224
00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:25,267
Yeah, we will, we will. Go
home, shower, but stay there.
225
00:13:25,338 --> 00:13:27,603
By all means, don't go
near the Coniglio house.
226
00:13:27,674 --> 00:13:31,076
No, no, no, no, no. That paragraph
should be changed to read,
227
00:13:31,144 --> 00:13:33,523
"Whereas Eskimo
Cola maintains its own
228
00:13:33,547 --> 00:13:36,583
sovereign board of
directors, not answerable..."
229
00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:44,790
Hello?
230
00:13:44,857 --> 00:13:46,416
Wade Ward, please.
231
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:47,653
Well, he's not here.
232
00:13:47,727 --> 00:13:49,007
What time do you
expect him home?
233
00:13:49,595 --> 00:13:52,827
This is not his home. It's my
home. My name's Rockford.
234
00:13:52,899 --> 00:13:55,994
Oh, I see. You're the
client. I see what happened.
235
00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:58,937
I'm John Cooper with the
Corporation for Legal Research.
236
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:02,465
Wade was in here today and he put
your phone number next to his name.
237
00:14:02,542 --> 00:14:04,602
I just want to review
some things with him.
238
00:14:04,677 --> 00:14:07,806
Yeah, well, since he's having
trouble with his own phone number,
239
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,679
I'd sleep better if you'd review
things with me. Go ahead.
240
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:14,586
Well, no, Mr. Rockford.
I really couldn't do that.
241
00:14:14,654 --> 00:14:19,217
My company just does the research on
a case and Wade's the attorney at record.
242
00:14:19,292 --> 00:14:23,889
Ethically, I can only discuss the case
with him, and he'll fill you in. Sorry.
243
00:14:27,133 --> 00:14:31,264
Corporation,
Corporation, Corporation.
244
00:14:32,138 --> 00:14:36,337
Corporation for Legal Research.
245
00:14:36,642 --> 00:14:41,307
Research. Corporation
for Legal... Oh!
246
00:14:41,381 --> 00:14:45,546
3516, South Robertson
Boulevard, Beverly Hills.
247
00:15:17,784 --> 00:15:21,346
Fool. If this storm
develops as I hope,
248
00:15:21,421 --> 00:15:25,586
you will have plenty to be afraid
of before the night's over. Go on.
249
00:15:25,658 --> 00:15:26,921
It's nearly... Hello?
250
00:15:28,428 --> 00:15:29,691
Yeah? I'm Jim Rockford.
251
00:15:29,762 --> 00:15:32,231
I think you're the one I
spoke to on the phone.
252
00:15:32,298 --> 00:15:35,530
Oh? Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. John, John Cooper.
253
00:15:36,102 --> 00:15:38,128
She leave that door unlocked?
254
00:15:38,204 --> 00:15:40,696
If her coffee doesn't kill me,
some neighborhood junkie will.
255
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:42,969
In Beverly Hills you
have to expect that.
256
00:15:43,042 --> 00:15:44,510
This is Beverly Hills.
257
00:15:44,577 --> 00:15:48,207
Of course, Los Angeles
is across the street there.
258
00:15:48,281 --> 00:15:50,750
The border's that white line
down the middle of the road.
259
00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:54,079
The legal profession
is very snobbish.
260
00:15:54,153 --> 00:15:59,649
But most of our work is done by phone, so
our law clients never know the difference.
261
00:15:59,725 --> 00:16:02,524
Beverly Hills looks good on a
letterhead and it brings them in.
262
00:16:02,595 --> 00:16:05,258
Yeah. Where'd you study
marketing techniques?
263
00:16:05,331 --> 00:16:07,266
Midway at Pacific Ocean Park?
264
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:09,373
Tell me you didn't let
out a little sob of gratitude
265
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:12,098
when you saw a Beverly
Hills firm in your murder case.
266
00:16:19,178 --> 00:16:21,670
Yeah, I've heard about
you legal research firms.
267
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,943
You hire out to
bona fide attorneys.
268
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:27,145
You do the legwork,
you search precedent.
269
00:16:29,722 --> 00:16:31,782
You even prepare the briefs.
270
00:16:31,858 --> 00:16:36,228
It doesn't seem like it leaves an
awful lot for attorneys like Wade to do,
271
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:41,825
but some of the heavy theoretical
groundwork and the cashing of checks.
272
00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:44,870
You have a problem with Ward?
273
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:50,240
Well, I was Beth Davenport's client
when she was with Harcourt and Lowe,
274
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:53,006
and this guy is no
Beth Davenport.
275
00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:54,638
Everybody have to
be stamped the same?
276
00:16:55,414 --> 00:16:56,848
He's with the top
law firm in town.
277
00:16:56,916 --> 00:16:58,716
If Wade couldn't cut
it, he wouldn't be there.
278
00:16:59,085 --> 00:17:00,245
Now, I've told you, Rockford,
279
00:17:00,286 --> 00:17:02,585
I can't discuss the case
with you. Simple as that.
280
00:17:02,722 --> 00:17:04,691
Coop?
281
00:17:04,757 --> 00:17:05,816
In here, Wade.
282
00:17:05,892 --> 00:17:08,452
Oh, boy, what a day.
283
00:17:08,528 --> 00:17:10,895
I just got out of a
dinner meeting at H&L.
284
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,591
Started at 6:00.
285
00:17:12,665 --> 00:17:18,195
That miserable US versus Ol' Dan'l
Boone. Boy, that has been a bear.
286
00:17:18,905 --> 00:17:20,168
Rockford.
287
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:24,707
Wade, Mr. Rockford was
just asking to see the data,
288
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:26,541
but I told him it was
impossible because...
289
00:17:26,612 --> 00:17:28,774
Sure, what the
heck. Let's all hear it.
290
00:17:28,848 --> 00:17:30,942
That way I won't have
to sit through it twice.
291
00:17:33,619 --> 00:17:37,579
Well, first of all, Nancy said you'd asked
for a summary of Utah versus Liggett,
292
00:17:37,657 --> 00:17:40,821
but as soon as I read the case
file, I figured she'd heard you wrong.
293
00:17:40,893 --> 00:17:42,293
What is it?
294
00:17:42,361 --> 00:17:43,954
Precedent.
295
00:17:44,030 --> 00:17:45,430
Judge held that
the homicide charge
296
00:17:45,498 --> 00:17:47,126
against the defendant, Liggett,
297
00:17:47,199 --> 00:17:49,191
should be dismissed
prior to the trial
298
00:17:49,268 --> 00:17:53,672
because he was defending his home
against repeated assault. Self-defense.
299
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,534
Isn't that how the
case went, Coop?
300
00:17:56,609 --> 00:17:58,703
Oh, yeah, yeah. But...
301
00:17:59,545 --> 00:18:02,811
Well, let's say that's the case
and you do have a point, Ward.
302
00:18:02,882 --> 00:18:06,512
I'm not so sure that Utah versus
Liggett is the precedent you want to cite.
303
00:18:06,586 --> 00:18:09,283
We'll talk about that later.
304
00:18:09,355 --> 00:18:13,816
Now, one of our people went out
to the Conigliaro home to get an idea
305
00:18:13,893 --> 00:18:15,327
of what the party was all about,
306
00:18:15,394 --> 00:18:19,024
but Conigliaro and his friend,
Mickey Long, refused to discuss it.
307
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,930
They said that they
hope Rockford burns
308
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,744
and they wouldn't do
anything to help the defense.
309
00:18:22,768 --> 00:18:25,294
Hmm. That background
would have been important.
310
00:18:25,371 --> 00:18:26,634
But that's that.
311
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:28,004
Hostile witnesses.
312
00:18:28,074 --> 00:18:31,738
Nothing you can do to make
them talk till you get them in court.
313
00:18:31,811 --> 00:18:33,211
You could depose them.
314
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:36,344
Au contraire, you can't depose
witnesses in a criminal case.
315
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:37,906
What's the matter
with you, Coop?
316
00:18:37,984 --> 00:18:39,953
File a civil action on
Mr. Rockford's behalf.
317
00:18:40,019 --> 00:18:42,750
Sue Conigliaro and Long for
damages, destruction of property.
318
00:18:42,822 --> 00:18:44,262
And you can drop
the suit at anytime,
319
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:46,134
but you'll still have their
sworn statements on record.
320
00:18:46,158 --> 00:18:47,369
Now, you'll have a time problem,
321
00:18:47,393 --> 00:18:51,330
so you might have to go in under Title
20-17 A of the Code of Civil Procedure.
322
00:18:51,397 --> 00:18:55,596
Pardon me, Coop, but that's just the kind
of thinking that got you disbarred, buddy.
323
00:18:59,739 --> 00:19:04,541
Heck, Coop, I'm sorry I let the old
skeleton tumble out of the closet.
324
00:19:06,045 --> 00:19:11,484
Okay, okay, I'll get ready to start
an action on Long and Coniglio.
325
00:19:11,550 --> 00:19:13,416
It's Conigliaro.
326
00:19:24,797 --> 00:19:26,527
Mind if I join you?
327
00:19:27,066 --> 00:19:29,661
Well, I don't suppose
this is just a coincidence.
328
00:19:29,735 --> 00:19:33,263
No, no, I followed you. I might
as well cop out, to that anyway.
329
00:19:33,339 --> 00:19:35,638
Hmm, but not to
second-degree murder.
330
00:19:36,809 --> 00:19:38,675
Mr. Cooper, I
watched you up there.
331
00:19:38,744 --> 00:19:43,682
You seem to have more going for
you than just, "Oh, boys" and "bears."
332
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:47,777
But it's safe to say I have some
deep concerns about Wade Ward.
333
00:19:47,853 --> 00:19:51,312
So, if you were me, would
you get a different attorney
334
00:19:51,390 --> 00:19:55,486
or do you think changing
horses would be dangerous now?
335
00:19:56,228 --> 00:19:59,357
That's something you should talk
over with your family and friends.
336
00:19:59,432 --> 00:20:00,764
That's a personal problem.
337
00:20:00,833 --> 00:20:02,995
A true diplomat.
338
00:20:03,069 --> 00:20:06,096
There's just my dad, and
he knows zip about the law.
339
00:20:06,172 --> 00:20:09,438
He thinks nolo contendere
is a Mexican bantamweight.
340
00:20:11,010 --> 00:20:14,913
Mr. Cooper, I could be
facing a life sentence.
341
00:20:21,153 --> 00:20:24,715
Hypothetically, now, one might start
shopping around for other counsel.
342
00:20:24,790 --> 00:20:30,354
One might obtain, well, from
someone like me, a good list of names.
343
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:33,228
But at the same time, you
shouldn't sell Wade short.
344
00:20:33,299 --> 00:20:35,165
For one thing, he's
familiar with your case.
345
00:20:35,234 --> 00:20:38,796
Mmm-hmm. Just the names of the
principals and the nature of the crime
346
00:20:38,871 --> 00:20:40,169
he's a little shaky on.
347
00:20:40,239 --> 00:20:41,707
What's yours?
348
00:20:41,774 --> 00:20:42,774
Oh...
349
00:20:42,842 --> 00:20:44,572
Well, he feels like celebrating.
350
00:20:44,643 --> 00:20:46,635
Give him an Ol'
Dan'l Boone, neat.
351
00:20:49,281 --> 00:20:51,113
Everyone's a comedian.
352
00:20:52,184 --> 00:20:54,176
Look, your preliminary
is only days away.
353
00:20:54,253 --> 00:20:56,381
And I'll be on the thing,
and I'll work with Wade
354
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:58,447
and see if maybe I can
keep him from derailing
355
00:20:58,524 --> 00:21:00,493
when we hit the
junction at Centerville.
356
00:21:00,559 --> 00:21:03,529
If you're expecting him to derail,
why are you protecting him?
357
00:21:03,596 --> 00:21:06,657
I'm not, not really. And I
don't think he will derail.
358
00:21:06,732 --> 00:21:11,329
And even if he does, you could allege
that Wade was incompetent counsel.
359
00:21:11,403 --> 00:21:13,702
That even places some
sympathy on your side.
360
00:21:13,773 --> 00:21:17,141
Qualified witnesses would
be forced to testify to that.
361
00:21:17,209 --> 00:21:18,507
Would you?
362
00:21:18,577 --> 00:21:22,378
Would you testify that he was watching
horror movies when we had our meeting?
363
00:21:22,448 --> 00:21:24,212
If it came to that.
364
00:21:25,151 --> 00:21:26,414
It's not bad.
365
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:29,387
It's a little iffy, but it
covers all the bases.
366
00:21:30,222 --> 00:21:32,350
Now, there's something else.
367
00:21:32,858 --> 00:21:34,986
Why did you get disbarred?
368
00:21:35,060 --> 00:21:36,358
It's a long story.
369
00:21:36,428 --> 00:21:40,092
Is that why you've got your degree
hanging upside down on your wall?
370
00:21:41,700 --> 00:21:43,726
My idea of a private joke.
371
00:21:44,403 --> 00:21:45,996
Well, maybe this
is a dumb question,
372
00:21:46,071 --> 00:21:50,008
but whatever it was that got
you disbarred, were you right?
373
00:21:51,377 --> 00:21:53,608
Maybe you noticed the
question of right and wrong
374
00:21:53,679 --> 00:21:55,614
is not within the
purview of the law,
375
00:21:55,681 --> 00:21:58,310
only the question
of legal and illegal.
376
00:21:58,384 --> 00:21:59,716
Yeah, does seem strange.
377
00:21:59,785 --> 00:22:01,344
Don't it, though?
378
00:22:02,955 --> 00:22:06,858
Bartender, I think I got him
in a celebrating mood now.
379
00:22:06,926 --> 00:22:09,259
He'll switch to Ol' Dan'l Boone.
380
00:22:12,765 --> 00:22:14,063
So I says, "Hey, sweet cheeks,
381
00:22:14,133 --> 00:22:16,295
"you can't prove I'm
the one fathered the kid.
382
00:22:16,569 --> 00:22:20,336
"And besides, you don't
want it, have an abortion."
383
00:22:20,406 --> 00:22:22,238
She says, "It had to
be you. You the one
384
00:22:22,308 --> 00:22:23,585
"who pushed me down on the bed."
385
00:22:23,609 --> 00:22:25,373
I says, "Hey, go rotate.
386
00:22:25,845 --> 00:22:28,144
"I ain't gonna pay you no
money to support no brat.
387
00:22:28,214 --> 00:22:30,342
"I'd rather smoke paraquat."
388
00:22:30,416 --> 00:22:31,850
Conigliaro and Long?
389
00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:34,751
It sure ain't The Two
Gentlemen of Verona.
390
00:22:37,756 --> 00:22:40,851
Now, in your
statements to the police,
391
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:45,057
you two gentlemen averred that you did not
personally know the victim, Mac Amodeus.
392
00:22:45,130 --> 00:22:47,028
Remembering you're
under oath, I ask you now
393
00:22:47,052 --> 00:22:48,931
to be absolutely
certain that this is true.
394
00:22:49,001 --> 00:22:52,301
It's true. It was a
open house, you know?
395
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:55,864
We put up signs on telephone
poles, and all kind of people come.
396
00:22:55,941 --> 00:22:57,569
We got no control on who comes.
397
00:22:57,643 --> 00:22:59,305
Can you state that
beyond any doubt?
398
00:22:59,378 --> 00:23:01,210
Any glimmer or
shred of uncertainty?
399
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,545
Beyond any vague or shadowy...
400
00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:07,414
Yeah.
401
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,421
Oh, tell Sumner
I'll be right out.
402
00:23:12,725 --> 00:23:14,853
Coop, it's Ol' Dan'l Boone.
403
00:23:15,828 --> 00:23:18,059
Could you keep everything warm?
404
00:23:23,569 --> 00:23:24,880
Do either one of
you gentlemen know
405
00:23:24,904 --> 00:23:28,033
a woman named Dawn
Nodzak from Redondo Beach?
406
00:23:28,107 --> 00:23:31,134
The place was packed. I
don't know this broad. Why?
407
00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:33,839
Mac Amodeus was living
with this Dawn Nodzak,
408
00:23:33,913 --> 00:23:35,643
and I was just going
into the background.
409
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:37,726
I wonder if you might be
able to add anything to that.
410
00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:41,118
Hey, what are we, the
Encyclopedia Britannicus?
411
00:23:41,186 --> 00:23:43,746
Look, are you gonna sue
us? Sue us, or get off the pot.
412
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:47,486
Who started the beef between you and
Mr. Rockford, the one Mr. Amodeus was in?
413
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:51,360
Him, Rockford, and it
wasn't the first time, you know.
414
00:23:51,430 --> 00:23:53,422
He likes to swing on people.
415
00:23:53,499 --> 00:23:56,469
That's a lie. I never actually traded
punches with either one of them.
416
00:23:56,535 --> 00:23:59,699
Bull you didn't. What about
the other day? Tuesday.
417
00:23:59,772 --> 00:24:01,172
When the window got broke?
418
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,233
No one got hit.
That's a flat out lie.
419
00:24:04,310 --> 00:24:08,008
You hit me, creep. I still
got the egg, right here.
420
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,211
Let the record show he pointed
to a place beneath his right ear.
421
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:15,186
You told the cops I hit you
on the right side of the jaw
422
00:24:15,254 --> 00:24:18,520
while you were standing
up to me like John Garfield.
423
00:24:18,590 --> 00:24:20,354
That's why the cops
wouldn't believe me
424
00:24:20,426 --> 00:24:23,191
when I told them about
the bruises on my right hand.
425
00:24:23,262 --> 00:24:27,529
But now that they see that I
was behind you, running after you,
426
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:29,693
it'll be a different story.
427
00:24:53,525 --> 00:24:58,657
The night was clear,
and the moon was yellow
428
00:24:58,731 --> 00:25:02,930
And the leaves
come tumbling down
429
00:25:03,569 --> 00:25:05,435
Hi, Joe.
430
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,837
Hey, Giuseppe.
431
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,933
Leave me alone,
you bums. I mean it.
432
00:25:26,892 --> 00:25:29,862
A two hour drive to Redondo
Beach is a long way to go.
433
00:25:29,928 --> 00:25:32,397
I just hope we get something
from this Dawn Nodzak.
434
00:25:32,464 --> 00:25:34,142
She was living with
the late Mac Amodeus.
435
00:25:34,166 --> 00:25:36,067
Let's face it, we
haven't got much else.
436
00:25:36,135 --> 00:25:37,626
There's her place.
437
00:25:37,703 --> 00:25:40,229
I would have thought Mac
Amodeus lived in a garage.
438
00:25:43,342 --> 00:25:48,906
That license plate. I think I
know who owns that. Artie Nodzak.
439
00:25:49,014 --> 00:25:51,313
Pop Warner type
big shot up in LA.
440
00:25:51,383 --> 00:25:53,943
Bunch of porno
houses, string of hookers,
441
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:56,488
horses out at Bell
Meadows Raceway.
442
00:25:57,790 --> 00:26:00,021
Yeah, that's Artie
Nodzak, all right.
443
00:26:00,092 --> 00:26:04,086
The guy that's with him is named
Georgie something, Georgie Ryan.
444
00:26:12,438 --> 00:26:13,736
Would you like some coffee?
445
00:26:13,806 --> 00:26:15,138
No, thank you, Mrs. Nodzak.
446
00:26:15,207 --> 00:26:16,266
Miss.
447
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:18,310
Oh, wasn't that your
husband we just saw leaving?
448
00:26:18,377 --> 00:26:22,041
The reason I'm asking is we were
both admiring that handsome car.
449
00:26:22,114 --> 00:26:25,141
Oh, that. That was
my brother, Artie.
450
00:26:25,217 --> 00:26:28,585
He'll be glad to hear it. That
car's his whole personality.
451
00:26:31,457 --> 00:26:34,325
Mr. Amodeus was a plumber?
452
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:36,986
Now, we understand that
you lived here together.
453
00:26:37,062 --> 00:26:39,759
Did you accompany him to
the party the night he died?
454
00:26:42,401 --> 00:26:45,428
I just can't think why
anyone would want to kill Mac.
455
00:26:45,504 --> 00:26:47,439
He was really a gentle guy.
456
00:26:47,506 --> 00:26:49,907
He was always worried
about the whales and things.
457
00:26:49,975 --> 00:26:53,639
He was worried about them,
like, what would happen to them.
458
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:58,309
He had this record of whales
singing to each other and...
459
00:26:58,383 --> 00:27:01,410
Like, when he'd get ripped,
460
00:27:01,487 --> 00:27:05,254
he'd put it on, and
sometimes he'd even cry.
461
00:27:05,491 --> 00:27:07,460
Whales singing to each other.
462
00:27:07,526 --> 00:27:09,518
I mean, that really
blew him away.
463
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:12,727
That's the kind of guy he was.
464
00:27:14,032 --> 00:27:18,060
Excuse me, but how
did you get the bruises?
465
00:27:19,104 --> 00:27:22,074
Oh, I'm such a klutz.
466
00:27:22,141 --> 00:27:25,805
I was going down to the laundry
room and I fell down the stairs.
467
00:27:27,713 --> 00:27:29,113
Did Mac do that to you?
468
00:27:32,551 --> 00:27:34,952
Why, Dawn? What happened?
469
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:36,955
Nothing special.
470
00:27:37,022 --> 00:27:39,787
I said something
that got him mad.
471
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,892
He would kind of do
this once in a while.
472
00:27:44,963 --> 00:27:46,989
That's how come I didn't
go to the party with him.
473
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:48,065
My face.
474
00:27:48,901 --> 00:27:51,735
Oh, he wasn't really
violent or anything.
475
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:54,462
My theory is...
476
00:27:55,407 --> 00:27:59,344
Well, actually, Mac
was a real poetic guy.
477
00:28:00,445 --> 00:28:06,282
He was always talking about signing up
on the Calypso with Jacques Cousteau,
478
00:28:06,351 --> 00:28:09,879
or writing down some of the lyrics in
his head and selling them to a band.
479
00:28:09,955 --> 00:28:11,856
He knew a guy who
knew the Eagles.
480
00:28:12,491 --> 00:28:16,121
But that's a full-time job,
and he had the plumbing thing.
481
00:28:16,895 --> 00:28:21,526
He was really a frustrated
poet and ecologist I think.
482
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,592
And that's how come
he used to blow up.
483
00:28:23,669 --> 00:28:25,695
That's my theory, anyway.
484
00:28:25,771 --> 00:28:30,607
I assume that your brother Artie
knew that Mac was beating you up.
485
00:28:30,676 --> 00:28:34,443
Yeah. Yell, yell,
yell, all the time.
486
00:28:34,513 --> 00:28:35,811
But what did he know?
487
00:28:35,881 --> 00:28:36,881
Right.
488
00:28:38,217 --> 00:28:43,155
Listen, if you want to talk some more,
you'll have to come back later, okay?
489
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:46,317
I'm kind of co-chairperson
at this women's group.
490
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:48,758
We're having a
consciousness-raising session.
491
00:28:48,827 --> 00:28:50,989
I gotta make coffee and all.
492
00:28:51,964 --> 00:28:54,024
I really need this meeting.
493
00:28:54,099 --> 00:28:57,558
I think it'll help get Mac's
death out of my mind for a while.
494
00:28:58,937 --> 00:29:00,906
That's my theory, anyway.
495
00:29:02,174 --> 00:29:03,733
I hope Dawn likes this album.
496
00:29:03,809 --> 00:29:07,041
Like, who needs heavy metal
when they're experiencing grief?
497
00:29:08,447 --> 00:29:10,439
I'd say we came up with
some interesting stuff.
498
00:29:10,515 --> 00:29:12,006
You do, huh?
499
00:29:12,084 --> 00:29:13,780
Mostly whales and a singing act.
500
00:29:15,153 --> 00:29:16,553
But I agree.
501
00:29:16,622 --> 00:29:19,353
Dawn Nodzak sleeping
with Mac Amodeus,
502
00:29:19,424 --> 00:29:21,222
and he's whacking her
around for recreation.
503
00:29:21,293 --> 00:29:22,818
Now, Dawn's brother
gets wind of this,
504
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:25,728
so he sends two apes
to dance on Mac's head.
505
00:29:25,797 --> 00:29:28,631
That's my theory,
anyway. Now, what's yours?
506
00:29:29,568 --> 00:29:31,059
I think we should
run it past Wade.
507
00:29:31,136 --> 00:29:32,614
Of course, it's not something
you want to throw out
508
00:29:32,638 --> 00:29:34,504
at the preliminary,
but... Well, why not?
509
00:29:34,573 --> 00:29:37,600
Well, suppose you do go to
trial, you're blowing your strategy.
510
00:29:37,676 --> 00:29:39,587
The DA is lying in the
weeds just waiting for you.
511
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:41,239
He should kick it
out at the preliminary.
512
00:29:41,313 --> 00:29:43,839
I don't want to even
have to worry about a trial.
513
00:29:43,915 --> 00:29:45,816
Look, don't worry.
I talked to Wade.
514
00:29:45,884 --> 00:29:47,785
He says he's trim.
He feels he's ready.
515
00:29:47,853 --> 00:29:48,946
Yeah, to cop to second.
516
00:29:49,021 --> 00:29:52,287
Wade Ward was brought into
that firm by Gene Lowe himself.
517
00:29:52,357 --> 00:29:56,385
Beth told me Gene Lowe died
at 42 years old of a heart attack.
518
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:58,225
Brought on by worry.
519
00:30:01,633 --> 00:30:07,129
Your Honor, the defense
would like to present in its behalf
520
00:30:07,205 --> 00:30:12,007
a sworn deposition taken at
civil proceeding number 16345
521
00:30:12,077 --> 00:30:16,014
in which Mr. Eugene Conigliaro
contradicts his own testimony
522
00:30:16,081 --> 00:30:18,710
regarding the injury
to Mr. Rockford's hand.
523
00:30:22,587 --> 00:30:25,079
Yeah, that was a prior
fight that caused the bruises.
524
00:30:25,157 --> 00:30:26,648
He lied.
525
00:30:26,725 --> 00:30:29,718
Well, it's possible Mr. Rockford's
hand was injured at a prior time.
526
00:30:29,795 --> 00:30:32,607
However, that does not exclude the
possibility of brass knuckles, chains,
527
00:30:32,631 --> 00:30:34,099
or other mechanical devices.
528
00:30:34,166 --> 00:30:35,225
Yeah, but...
529
00:30:35,300 --> 00:30:37,428
So Stipulated, Mr. Cowan.
530
00:30:37,502 --> 00:30:39,368
If the court will
allow me a moment?
531
00:30:43,008 --> 00:30:45,204
I'm in trouble,
Coop. That's all I had.
532
00:30:45,277 --> 00:30:47,678
And this Cowan isn't the
hamburger I remember.
533
00:30:47,746 --> 00:30:49,112
You bet you're in trouble.
534
00:30:49,181 --> 00:30:52,583
Recall Conigliaro and Long
and go after their testimony.
535
00:30:52,651 --> 00:30:53,880
But how?
536
00:30:53,952 --> 00:30:56,046
I mean, nobody's denying
the threats were made.
537
00:30:56,121 --> 00:30:58,556
Get a pail and start bailing.
538
00:30:58,623 --> 00:31:00,148
The party, Wade, the party.
539
00:31:00,225 --> 00:31:02,456
Noise, dope, confusion.
540
00:31:02,527 --> 00:31:03,688
Was all that going on?
541
00:31:07,032 --> 00:31:10,969
Mr. Long, how much narcotics had
you ingested on the night of the party?
542
00:31:11,036 --> 00:31:13,164
I didn't use no narcotics.
543
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:14,238
I never do.
544
00:31:15,741 --> 00:31:19,178
That is, I'm not a
narcotics user of any sort.
545
00:31:19,244 --> 00:31:23,011
Were you ever arrested in the state of
New Jersey for possession of narcotics?
546
00:31:26,084 --> 00:31:28,383
Yeah, I think I was. Once.
547
00:31:28,687 --> 00:31:31,555
I submit you were under
the influence of narcotics, sir.
548
00:31:31,623 --> 00:31:33,216
A mammoth party
549
00:31:33,291 --> 00:31:35,783
given to celebrate the extension
of unemployment benefits
550
00:31:35,861 --> 00:31:39,457
by the State of New Jersey to
your colleague, Mr. Conigliaro.
551
00:31:39,531 --> 00:31:42,558
I submit you were
highly narcotized,
552
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:45,160
and I could produce witnesses
who would so stipulate.
553
00:31:45,237 --> 00:31:50,198
No. We drank beer,
that's all. Me and Eugene.
554
00:31:50,275 --> 00:31:53,734
In fact, I remember we
split a case, but no dope.
555
00:31:53,812 --> 00:31:55,804
So, half a case of beer.
556
00:31:55,881 --> 00:31:59,443
Twelve bottles, if I remember
my fraternity days correctly.
557
00:31:59,518 --> 00:32:02,181
Boogie-woogie music
thundering around your ears.
558
00:32:02,254 --> 00:32:07,158
And yet, and yet, you
managed to hear every threat,
559
00:32:07,225 --> 00:32:10,432
to get every nuance
of hate in Mr. Rockford's
560
00:32:10,456 --> 00:32:13,256
low voice, as
Mr. Conigliaro called it.
561
00:32:14,566 --> 00:32:15,966
That's all.
562
00:32:19,638 --> 00:32:21,573
I have no cross examination,
563
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,475
but I would like to call Mr. Joseph
Rockford to the stand, please.
564
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:31,675
Now, I'm going to take you to two
days before the party in question.
565
00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:33,582
A window had been broken.
566
00:32:33,652 --> 00:32:36,281
Now, according
to Mr. Conigliaro,
567
00:32:36,354 --> 00:32:38,346
your son said to
him at that time,
568
00:32:38,423 --> 00:32:40,551
"I'd like to kill you guys."
569
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:42,889
Did he say that?
570
00:32:42,961 --> 00:32:44,623
Well, I mean...
571
00:32:44,696 --> 00:32:46,028
Oh, brother.
572
00:32:46,097 --> 00:32:47,097
What I mean is...
573
00:32:47,165 --> 00:32:49,191
No, that's all. Thank you.
574
00:32:50,202 --> 00:32:52,797
You may step down, Mr. Rockford.
575
00:32:55,574 --> 00:32:59,602
Your Honor, if I may, a great
deal has been heard here in camera
576
00:32:59,678 --> 00:33:01,647
regarding the
rancorous feeling existing
577
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:03,875
between the
Rockfords, père et fils
578
00:33:04,349 --> 00:33:07,615
and Mr. Long, Mr. Conigliaro,
and their party guests.
579
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:11,123
But I feel this court should
be aware of another grievance
580
00:33:11,189 --> 00:33:14,057
against the deceased
Mr. Amodeus.
581
00:33:14,125 --> 00:33:17,562
If need be, I can call
one Dawn Nodzak
582
00:33:17,629 --> 00:33:22,067
to testify that Mac Amodeus had
done her repeated bodily injury.
583
00:33:22,133 --> 00:33:24,500
Miss Nodzak is the sister
of an underworld figure
584
00:33:24,569 --> 00:33:27,903
with a record of violent
crime, Mr. Arthur Nodzak.
585
00:33:27,973 --> 00:33:30,442
I leave it to the court to
draw its own conclusions.
586
00:33:30,509 --> 00:33:34,742
And I'd like to remind the court
587
00:33:34,813 --> 00:33:36,475
of its option at this juncture
588
00:33:36,548 --> 00:33:39,211
to dismiss the case on a
point of legal precedent.
589
00:33:39,284 --> 00:33:43,847
Certainly, we have heard instance
after instance of pillage and harassment
590
00:33:43,922 --> 00:33:47,916
by Messrs. Long and Conigliaro against
the home and person of Joseph Rockford.
591
00:33:47,993 --> 00:33:50,087
They've even admitted
such themselves.
592
00:33:50,161 --> 00:33:52,756
Present in the Magna
Carta is the guarantee...
593
00:33:52,831 --> 00:33:55,096
Cite your precedent, Mr. Ward.
594
00:33:55,734 --> 00:33:58,101
Utah versus Liggett, Your Honor.
595
00:33:58,169 --> 00:34:00,934
In that matter, the
judge dismissed the case,
596
00:34:01,006 --> 00:34:02,907
holding the defendant
acted in self-defense
597
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:05,219
when he killed two men of a
party of several who were trying...
598
00:34:05,243 --> 00:34:08,702
Utah v. Liggett refers
to Indians, does it not?
599
00:34:08,780 --> 00:34:11,841
Wasn't the Liggett home
under attack by Comanches?
600
00:34:11,917 --> 00:34:16,355
I mean, wasn't a
shed completely razed?
601
00:34:16,421 --> 00:34:20,984
Wasn't the limb of a family
member completely blown off?
602
00:34:21,059 --> 00:34:22,254
Yes.
603
00:34:22,327 --> 00:34:25,491
Mr. Ward, why don't
you give me a break?
604
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,367
I find that there is
sufficient evidence
605
00:34:31,436 --> 00:34:32,904
to indicate that the defendant,
606
00:34:32,971 --> 00:34:35,736
James Rockford,
did commit the crime,
607
00:34:35,807 --> 00:34:40,142
and I hereby bind him over to
Department Four of the Superior Court
608
00:34:40,211 --> 00:34:45,479
on July 9th for arraignment
and for subsequent proceedings.
609
00:34:53,558 --> 00:34:55,823
He's not the same man
he was five years ago, Jim.
610
00:34:55,894 --> 00:34:57,071
Look, I feel personally
responsible...
611
00:34:57,095 --> 00:34:58,586
Coop, forget about that for now.
612
00:34:58,663 --> 00:35:01,064
Pay attention. We
got a definite tie up.
613
00:35:01,132 --> 00:35:05,570
Now, Georgie Ryan, that's Artie
Nodzak's muscle, he was in that courtroom.
614
00:35:05,637 --> 00:35:07,538
Nodzak wants to keep
an eye on my case.
615
00:35:07,606 --> 00:35:10,075
Because if I'm headed
for state college,
616
00:35:10,141 --> 00:35:12,542
he knows he's in the clear.
617
00:35:12,611 --> 00:35:14,409
I'll tell you
something else weird.
618
00:35:14,479 --> 00:35:16,778
The whole time
Ryan was in the room,
619
00:35:16,848 --> 00:35:20,250
Eugene and Mickey Long, too, were
looking in the back trying to get his eye.
620
00:35:20,318 --> 00:35:21,318
Oh, yeah?
621
00:35:21,386 --> 00:35:22,513
Yeah.
622
00:35:23,254 --> 00:35:25,155
You thinking about a contract?
623
00:35:25,223 --> 00:35:26,885
Artie Nodzak pays
these two salamis
624
00:35:26,958 --> 00:35:29,189
to croak a guy who's
beating up his sister.
625
00:35:30,929 --> 00:35:32,192
Pie in the sky?
626
00:35:32,263 --> 00:35:33,561
Blueberry.
627
00:35:34,265 --> 00:35:35,810
Would they be stupid
enough to make a hit
628
00:35:35,834 --> 00:35:37,714
and then leave the body
in front of their house?
629
00:35:40,605 --> 00:35:42,335
Yeah, I guess they would.
630
00:35:44,809 --> 00:35:48,905
You know, Jim, Nodzak
is a functioning adult.
631
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:52,041
And he'd pay those two
to make a hit for him?
632
00:35:52,117 --> 00:35:53,394
And they wouldn't
have done it for revenge
633
00:35:53,418 --> 00:35:55,887
because Dawn told us that
she didn't even know them.
634
00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:58,423
Yeah, well, I'm just looking
for a connection, Coop.
635
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:00,721
Do you remember what
Eugene was talking about
636
00:36:00,792 --> 00:36:03,125
the day of the
deposition out in the hall?
637
00:36:03,194 --> 00:36:04,822
Some girl he got
pregnant. So what?
638
00:36:04,896 --> 00:36:07,661
Yeah, well, it's
straw-grasping time, right?
639
00:36:07,732 --> 00:36:09,894
I just remember that
when we went to see Dawn,
640
00:36:09,968 --> 00:36:11,698
there were these two
young women, remember,
641
00:36:11,770 --> 00:36:15,070
that went in to see her on a
consciousness-raising session.
642
00:36:15,140 --> 00:36:16,335
And one was pregnant.
643
00:36:16,408 --> 00:36:17,467
Right.
644
00:36:17,542 --> 00:36:20,137
Jim, I think the California
Obstetric Society
645
00:36:20,211 --> 00:36:22,123
could give you figures
showing that in any one week
646
00:36:22,147 --> 00:36:23,581
there could be
several pregnancies.
647
00:36:23,648 --> 00:36:26,311
Yeah, I told you, I'm just
looking for a connection.
648
00:36:26,384 --> 00:36:29,081
Who knows, maybe
poor taste in men is it.
649
00:36:29,154 --> 00:36:32,454
Eugene and Mac are both
cut from the same bolt of cloth.
650
00:36:32,524 --> 00:36:35,469
If you're going to go out with them,
you're going to need consciousness-raising.
651
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:38,588
Either that or a
helmet and shovel.
652
00:36:38,663 --> 00:36:42,031
Boy, we're so far off from the
murder, we're in a different time zone.
653
00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:44,262
We start off with Eugene,
Mickey and Artie Nodzak.
654
00:36:44,335 --> 00:36:46,668
I think it's worth trying
to find the pregnant lady.
655
00:36:46,738 --> 00:36:48,764
Maybe that women's
group can give us her name.
656
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,741
Okay, but I'll
tell you out front,
657
00:36:50,809 --> 00:36:53,142
the only part of this I can
really buy is Artie Nodzak.
658
00:36:53,211 --> 00:36:55,771
And I know a guy like that's got
to have too much street smarts
659
00:36:55,847 --> 00:36:58,248
to hire Conigliaro and Long.
660
00:36:58,316 --> 00:36:59,316
Way too much smarts.
661
00:37:09,094 --> 00:37:12,724
The men's can is the same
as in a regular restaurant.
662
00:37:12,797 --> 00:37:14,493
Well, what are we gonna do?
663
00:37:14,566 --> 00:37:18,526
I mean, if I gotta eat raw fish,
I'm gonna ralph right in his lap.
664
00:37:18,603 --> 00:37:22,404
I wish he'd picked Vito's
Little Napoli or a steakhouse.
665
00:37:22,474 --> 00:37:24,306
Oh, here he is.
666
00:37:27,178 --> 00:37:31,138
Hey, Mr. Nodzak. Hey, over
here. Mr. Nodzak, over here.
667
00:37:43,361 --> 00:37:46,593
Drink, Mr. Nodzak? We're
having amaretto and cream.
668
00:37:46,664 --> 00:37:48,633
It's a nice place.
669
00:37:48,700 --> 00:37:51,932
I almost went over to Japan
when I was in the airborne,
670
00:37:52,003 --> 00:37:53,563
but then they give
me a section eight...
671
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:55,938
Hey, so let's hear it.
672
00:37:56,007 --> 00:37:57,852
The guy who works for me
at the track says you told him
673
00:37:57,876 --> 00:38:01,005
I should know who did me a
big favor in the sister department.
674
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:03,344
You know, for a
week, I didn't believe it.
675
00:38:03,414 --> 00:38:05,883
Let's just say, Mr. Nodzak,
676
00:38:05,950 --> 00:38:09,910
that it was me and Mickey
who helped a certain party
677
00:38:09,988 --> 00:38:12,651
who was nothing but
trouble cross the river.
678
00:38:13,825 --> 00:38:16,420
You killed Mac Amodeus? Why?
679
00:38:16,494 --> 00:38:20,488
Because this scoongell was nothing
but a thorn in your ear, am I right?
680
00:38:20,565 --> 00:38:22,761
It would do us grave
honor, Mr. Nodzak,
681
00:38:22,834 --> 00:38:25,030
if you would consider this
thing which has been done
682
00:38:25,103 --> 00:38:27,937
as a token of respect
from Eugene and me to you.
683
00:38:28,006 --> 00:38:30,168
Hey, Mickey, you mind?
684
00:38:30,241 --> 00:38:33,143
Now, what my associate
says is true, Mr. Nodzak.
685
00:38:33,211 --> 00:38:36,181
But in addition to that, it's
sort of our way of saying,
686
00:38:36,247 --> 00:38:39,911
"Hey, here's a couple of guys
ain't afraid to go all the way.
687
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:42,351
"Here's a couple of guys
got their sunroofs down,
688
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:44,548
"got their diamonds in the back.
689
00:38:44,622 --> 00:38:47,524
"Couple of guys you can entrust
with your whole thing there."
690
00:38:47,592 --> 00:38:49,026
You idiots.
691
00:38:51,029 --> 00:38:52,088
Excuse me?
692
00:38:52,163 --> 00:38:55,327
Who asked you? Who asked
you to croak that zero, huh?
693
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,097
Nobody. We done it on our own.
694
00:38:58,169 --> 00:39:01,264
We heard he was gonging on
your sister and that ain't right.
695
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,934
Ah! So, in other words,
you did me a favor.
696
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:07,740
And now I'm gonna repay you by
giving you a job or a piece of my action.
697
00:39:07,812 --> 00:39:10,179
No, no, not a
piece of the action.
698
00:39:10,248 --> 00:39:11,739
Not right away, but we did...
699
00:39:11,816 --> 00:39:13,842
Hey, what do you
think this is? A movie?
700
00:39:13,918 --> 00:39:15,696
And I'm some guy who's got
cotton stuffed in his cheeks
701
00:39:15,720 --> 00:39:17,689
and goes around mumbling
and passing out favors?
702
00:39:17,755 --> 00:39:19,951
Do you have any concept
of what you guys did?
703
00:39:20,024 --> 00:39:21,686
Who looks good
for this murder, huh?
704
00:39:21,759 --> 00:39:24,319
A guy from Malibu,
Jerry Rockford.
705
00:39:24,395 --> 00:39:26,557
Oh, is that how you planned
it? To hang it on Rockford?
706
00:39:26,631 --> 00:39:27,792
No.
707
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:32,270
You wanna know the truth, we were kind of
surprised when the pigs busted him for it.
708
00:39:32,337 --> 00:39:33,600
But what the hell, huh?
709
00:39:33,671 --> 00:39:37,108
As they say, you don't
look inside the Trojan horse.
710
00:39:37,175 --> 00:39:41,271
Hey, pinhead, supposing the charge
against Rockford doesn't hold, huh?
711
00:39:41,346 --> 00:39:43,440
You know who's on the hook? Me.
712
00:39:43,514 --> 00:39:45,949
I got the connections,
the motive, the whole shot.
713
00:39:46,017 --> 00:39:48,077
You know, my name
came up in court today.
714
00:39:50,221 --> 00:39:52,383
Well, look, why don't we order?
715
00:39:52,457 --> 00:39:55,484
Maybe we'll all feel a lot better if
we eat some rice or fish or something.
716
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,871
You know, I'm gonna
promise you something.
717
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:58,955
Now, I'm not going to
stand for no murder heat.
718
00:39:59,030 --> 00:40:02,364
You creeps better hope that
this charge sticks on Rockford.
719
00:40:02,433 --> 00:40:05,028
Otherwise, and I don't care
how it looks image-wise,
720
00:40:05,103 --> 00:40:06,765
I'm bringing you
both in to the police.
721
00:40:06,838 --> 00:40:10,297
And if I bring you in on a roller
board, it's all the same to the cops.
722
00:40:10,375 --> 00:40:12,469
Which is exactly
what I'm gonna do,
723
00:40:12,543 --> 00:40:15,775
just because of the
aggravation factor I feel here.
724
00:40:23,955 --> 00:40:25,480
We killed a guy for nothing.
725
00:40:28,359 --> 00:40:30,590
I ain't never gonna get ahead.
726
00:40:31,262 --> 00:40:33,322
What do you gotta do?
727
00:40:33,398 --> 00:40:34,889
It ain't happening
for me in Jersey.
728
00:40:34,966 --> 00:40:37,731
I come out here, I'm still
in the toilet, looking out.
729
00:40:40,171 --> 00:40:42,538
I see it happening
for other guys.
730
00:40:43,474 --> 00:40:45,670
I mean, what do you gotta do?
731
00:40:48,313 --> 00:40:50,441
It should have been
someone we hated.
732
00:40:55,253 --> 00:40:57,722
See, even though
Eugene Conigliaro
733
00:40:57,789 --> 00:41:01,726
is the father of this baby,
all right, he keeps saying no.
734
00:41:02,260 --> 00:41:04,559
But who knows better than me?
735
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:06,928
The thing is, he
keeps denying it
736
00:41:06,998 --> 00:41:09,797
because I need
some financial help.
737
00:41:09,867 --> 00:41:14,032
Well, maybe something could
be done about getting you some.
738
00:41:14,105 --> 00:41:15,437
Legal action, I mean.
739
00:41:15,506 --> 00:41:17,668
We'll have to give
it some thought.
740
00:41:17,742 --> 00:41:19,301
That'd be great.
741
00:41:19,677 --> 00:41:22,613
See, I met him at
Papa Doc's, on the Strip.
742
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,946
I saw him on the floor
and, boy, that was it.
743
00:41:26,017 --> 00:41:29,681
As soon as I saw him
dancing, I knew he was Italian.
744
00:41:29,754 --> 00:41:31,689
Celeste, did you ever
mention to Eugene
745
00:41:31,756 --> 00:41:35,488
that Mac was slapping your girlfriend
Dawn around and Artie was mad?
746
00:41:35,793 --> 00:41:37,557
I think so. Yeah.
747
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:40,727
Once he was being just
horrible about the baby,
748
00:41:40,798 --> 00:41:42,494
and I started
crying, and I said,
749
00:41:42,567 --> 00:41:44,729
"You're as bad as this
guy I know in Redondo.
750
00:41:44,802 --> 00:41:48,170
"He beats up on this
friend of mine all the time."
751
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:53,007
Then I mentioned Dawn and
Mac and Dawn's brother, Artie.
752
00:41:53,077 --> 00:41:54,739
What is all this?
753
00:41:54,812 --> 00:41:57,805
Celeste, you know the
kind of man Eugene is.
754
00:41:57,882 --> 00:41:59,510
This might be
worse than you think.
755
00:41:59,584 --> 00:42:02,053
There's a good chance
that he's a murderer.
756
00:42:02,487 --> 00:42:03,955
Dear God.
757
00:42:05,123 --> 00:42:08,753
Coop, I'd make book that they did
it just to make points with Nodzak.
758
00:42:08,826 --> 00:42:11,990
Can you believe it? These
geniuses commit a murder on spec.
759
00:42:15,233 --> 00:42:19,193
Abbott and Costello meet
The Godfather. Pathetic.
760
00:42:20,271 --> 00:42:21,941
But until we hear
them say it or find
761
00:42:21,965 --> 00:42:24,072
material evidence, we're
just doing guesswork.
762
00:42:36,621 --> 00:42:37,645
Yeah.
763
00:42:37,722 --> 00:42:39,714
Eugene, it's me.
764
00:42:39,791 --> 00:42:41,384
Take a walk until
your hat floats.
765
00:42:41,459 --> 00:42:45,055
No, wait, Eugene. It's not about
the baby, it's about Artie Nodzak.
766
00:42:45,263 --> 00:42:49,826
Eugene, I know what
happened. Dawn Nodzak told me.
767
00:42:49,901 --> 00:42:52,393
And, listen, I think
you're in danger.
768
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:53,470
Yeah?
769
00:42:53,538 --> 00:42:55,115
But if you want to know
what's gonna happen,
770
00:42:55,139 --> 00:42:57,438
then you have to agree to
help me support the baby.
771
00:42:57,775 --> 00:42:58,919
So that's how
come all of a sudden
772
00:42:58,943 --> 00:43:01,242
you're so interested
in saving my life, huh?
773
00:43:01,746 --> 00:43:04,011
You're a cheap trick,
you know that, Celeste?
774
00:43:04,949 --> 00:43:07,418
All right, I'll come in with some
bread. So, what'd she say?
775
00:43:07,652 --> 00:43:10,178
She said Artie's getting
madder and madder.
776
00:43:10,588 --> 00:43:12,079
He didn't appreciate
what you did.
777
00:43:12,156 --> 00:43:15,854
In fact, he's been doing nothing but
complain because it made him look guilty.
778
00:43:16,561 --> 00:43:18,496
He's coming to get you.
779
00:43:18,563 --> 00:43:20,759
You and Mickey, tomorrow.
780
00:43:20,832 --> 00:43:22,460
Him and a man named Ryan.
781
00:43:22,867 --> 00:43:26,065
He says he's going to do awful
things to your hands and your face,
782
00:43:26,137 --> 00:43:29,130
and then he turns
you over to the police.
783
00:43:29,207 --> 00:43:30,384
Wait, wait, Celeste, wait.
784
00:43:30,408 --> 00:43:34,812
Listen, you got to get word
to this Dawn to tell her brother.
785
00:43:34,879 --> 00:43:37,747
You see, I got a plan. I
been thinking. It's foolproof.
786
00:43:37,815 --> 00:43:38,874
You got to tell her.
787
00:43:38,950 --> 00:43:40,782
Plan? What are
you talking about?
788
00:43:42,186 --> 00:43:43,586
I'm gonna kill Mickey.
789
00:43:43,821 --> 00:43:44,948
What?
790
00:43:45,490 --> 00:43:48,585
Then... Then you
really did kill Mac?
791
00:43:48,659 --> 00:43:49,854
Yeah, yeah, me and Mickey.
792
00:43:49,927 --> 00:43:50,986
But the important thing is
793
00:43:51,062 --> 00:43:53,463
you gotta tell Artie Nodzak...
794
00:43:57,101 --> 00:44:00,230
Hey, Eugene, what you
say we go downtown?
795
00:44:00,304 --> 00:44:01,897
You can't see I'm on the phone?
796
00:44:02,907 --> 00:44:05,138
It's my old lady. She's
calling from Jersey.
797
00:44:05,209 --> 00:44:07,178
I'll be out in a minute, Mick.
798
00:44:09,046 --> 00:44:11,242
Yeah. So how's cousin Carmela?
799
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:15,985
Celeste?
800
00:44:16,053 --> 00:44:18,488
You gotta tell Artie that
I'm gonna kill Mickey
801
00:44:18,556 --> 00:44:21,321
and put the body over
by Rockford's trailer.
802
00:44:21,392 --> 00:44:23,793
And maybe I'll throw the
weapon in Rockford's car.
803
00:44:23,861 --> 00:44:26,421
This way the cops will find
him and think Rockford did it.
804
00:44:26,497 --> 00:44:28,261
Just another victim in the feud.
805
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:30,811
And there ain't a jury in the world
that won't think Rockford's a killer
806
00:44:30,835 --> 00:44:33,361
after all the trouble
he had with us.
807
00:44:33,738 --> 00:44:35,036
You got that?
808
00:44:35,306 --> 00:44:39,243
Now, you tell Artie that this is the
answer to everybody's problems.
809
00:44:40,411 --> 00:44:41,606
I gotta go.
810
00:44:44,649 --> 00:44:47,517
Hey, Mick, what do you say
we go down to the ocean?
811
00:44:47,585 --> 00:44:49,884
Now? It's too cold.
812
00:44:49,954 --> 00:44:51,252
What cold?
813
00:44:51,322 --> 00:44:52,585
I know a guy down there.
814
00:44:52,657 --> 00:44:55,456
We'll score some dust and we'll
hit one of the bars on the ocean.
815
00:44:55,526 --> 00:44:57,757
Maybe we'll pick up some skirt.
816
00:44:58,729 --> 00:44:59,788
All right.
817
00:44:59,864 --> 00:45:00,864
All right.
818
00:45:16,714 --> 00:45:19,115
I met this guy the
other day. Great dust.
819
00:45:19,183 --> 00:45:20,207
Yeah?
820
00:45:20,284 --> 00:45:23,777
He lives in one of these
trailers around here someplace.
821
00:45:23,854 --> 00:45:25,083
Over there.
822
00:45:28,626 --> 00:45:29,650
You coming?
823
00:45:29,727 --> 00:45:30,771
Yeah, yeah. What are you doing?
824
00:45:30,795 --> 00:45:33,594
The zipper on my
jacket broke. It's stuck.
825
00:45:48,980 --> 00:45:51,506
It won't work,
Conigliaro. It's all over.
826
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:53,574
What's happening, Eugene?
827
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:55,118
Cut them off, Coop.
828
00:45:55,219 --> 00:45:56,812
Cut them off from their car.
829
00:45:58,889 --> 00:46:00,517
Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.
830
00:46:01,025 --> 00:46:02,836
Now, drop that thing.
The cops are on their way.
831
00:46:02,860 --> 00:46:04,726
They're not gonna send
you to barber school.
832
00:46:04,795 --> 00:46:07,264
Let them come. I
ain't gonna be here.
833
00:46:09,033 --> 00:46:10,524
All right, come on.
834
00:46:18,209 --> 00:46:19,209
Take it easy.
835
00:46:24,915 --> 00:46:26,508
Stop him, Smitty!
836
00:46:47,238 --> 00:46:50,504
Hey, Coop, I got mine.
837
00:47:05,990 --> 00:47:08,035
Actually, it's probably the
best thing could have happened.
838
00:47:08,059 --> 00:47:10,824
You know, it ain't the first time this
mailbox has been knocked down.
839
00:47:10,895 --> 00:47:13,626
I was always gonna
put it on a nice iron post
840
00:47:13,698 --> 00:47:16,395
and sink it in concrete
like a proper one.
841
00:47:16,467 --> 00:47:19,699
Excuse me, but can we
stick to the subject at hand?
842
00:47:19,770 --> 00:47:22,467
I mean, if you're not going
to pay Wade Ward a cent,
843
00:47:22,540 --> 00:47:24,270
that's one thing.
I agree. I agree.
844
00:47:24,342 --> 00:47:25,833
But, you see, I'm
a subcontractor,
845
00:47:25,910 --> 00:47:28,880
and I was just wondering
who's going to pay my fees?
846
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,049
And of course I can't charge you
847
00:47:31,115 --> 00:47:32,481
what a full-blown attorney would
848
00:47:32,550 --> 00:47:33,990
since my license
has been taken away,
849
00:47:34,051 --> 00:47:35,075
but... Really?
850
00:47:35,152 --> 00:47:36,363
Well, I mean, I can't
go into court for you
851
00:47:36,387 --> 00:47:37,582
or anything like that.
852
00:47:37,655 --> 00:47:42,650
But my advice is informed over a
number of years of experience and...
853
00:47:42,727 --> 00:47:44,593
Yeah, well, that's very
interesting, you know.
854
00:47:44,662 --> 00:47:48,360
In my line of work, I'm always
coming up against legal questions.
855
00:47:48,432 --> 00:47:51,994
Yeah, Coop, Coop, I think we
ought to have a talk, I really do.
856
00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:56,131
Something about maybe an
informal type of retainer thing.
857
00:47:56,841 --> 00:47:59,436
Well, there are lots of good
attorneys around. Real ones.
858
00:47:59,677 --> 00:48:02,738
Like Wade Ward? No,
you're good. You really are.
859
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:04,679
I told you that the
first time we met.
860
00:48:04,749 --> 00:48:09,084
Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with
a guy trying to cut his operation costs.
861
00:48:09,153 --> 00:48:10,815
I think we ought to
have a talk, Coop.
862
00:48:10,888 --> 00:48:11,888
Well, I'll tell you what.
863
00:48:11,956 --> 00:48:14,721
Why don't we pay the
bill first and then we'll talk?
864
00:48:14,792 --> 00:48:17,125
Well, sure, sure. Let's go
on in the house, have a beer.
865
00:48:17,194 --> 00:48:18,685
Here, I'll get
that. No, I got it.
866
00:48:18,763 --> 00:48:20,527
I got it. All
right, you take it.
