All language subtitles for The Greatest American Hero s02e03 Dont Mess Around With Jim

Look at what's happened to me

I can't believe it myself

Suddenly I'm up on top of the world

It should have been somebody else

Believe it or not I'm walking on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flying away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

Just like the light of a new day

It hit me from out of the blue

Breaking me out of the spell I was in

Making all of my wishes come true

Believe it or not I'm walking on air

I never thought I could feel so free

Flying away on a wing and a prayer

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

Who could it be

Believe it or not it's just me

As dignitaries gather for this
last rite for James J. Beck,

it seems only fitting to recount
his enormous accomplishments.

Born in poverty
when this country...

was struggling
for its economic life,

he rose, in six decades, to such an
awesome position of wealth and power...

that one can only marvel
at the feat.

How did he do it?

How did the son of a Kansas tractor salesman
become one of the richest men in the world?

Well, for that part of the story,
we go to Jerry Dunphy in New York.

Thank you, Keith.

America is a nation
with a dream,

and James J. Beck was the
leading salesman of that dream.

A man with no formal education...
a high school dropout...

You hear that, Mr. H.?
This guy dropped out of high school.

...and went every day to the
public library and read every book,

from soil cultivation
to nuclear physics.

You hear that, Tony? The guy had a
job, and he went to the library.

...legends are made, and James J.
Beck is a legend.

The legend started in Kansas, in
1920, on property very much like this.

...with his dead father's life
insurance money... a mere 3,000 in cash...

I wonder if some of you could
hold it down a little bit,

because some others are trying
to watch this thing, okay?

Hey, just eat
your burger, huh?

Guy's gonna be in there
forever.

Mr. Dunn wants this
to go down smooth.

You got the gas?
I've always wanted to gas a fed.

I wanna thank the room...

for being real social-minded
and real understanding.

Bye.

Excuse me.
Excuse me, sir. Yeah?

What do we got here, boys?
We're canvassing the area this morning.

We've got a petition here to increase
the wages of federal employees.

- Parking lots you're canvassing?
- We need all the signatures we can get, sir.

Federal employees' salaries, huh? Well,
I'm a federal employee. My salary stinks.

Somebody ought
to do somethin'.

Uh, you got a lot of fine print here.
Let's see.

Uh... Yeah, that looks okay.
I'll sign that. Let's see.

Mr. Heath, please, if you don't mind.
Just for a moment.

I'm here with Jordan Heath who
is president of Beck Industries.

Mr. Heath, tell us,
what's in the future for Beck Industries?

Well, the company will miss the
insightful leadership that Jim provided,

but we know that the 10-year plan
set up by J.J. Beck before he died...

will continue
to carry us forward.

Thank you very much.
Okay, there you have it.

Rhonda, will you get
the lights for me.

- No money. No connections.
- No education.

Come on, Tony.

The guy went to the library every day
and read a book, for his entire life.

Tony averages a book a day...
A book of matches.

Oh, yeah, man. For sure, and he goes
to the library all the time too.

Right? It's, like,
the best place in town to steal bicycles.

These are just jokes, Mr. H.
Don't take this too serious.

I'll try not to, Tony. See, what I'm
interested in here is this missin' will.

A guy like Beck dies,
and nobody knows who gets what.

Now, what is that? The man's an eccentric.

Yeah,
but not to leave a will?

I don't understand it.

Billions of dollars at stake,
and the guy doesn't leave a will.

Maybe he did.
We don't know, Rhonda.

The facts haven't all
been tabulated yet.

We'll probably be learning
new things for weeks.

Have a good day,
everybody.

Tony, got a minute?

Six math papers
behind, guy. Is it six already?

I'd send a note home to your uncle,
but he doesn't seem to read 'em.

You know my uncle. It's pretty hard to
read through the bottom of a beer bottle.

Well, listen.

If you flunk, you're not gonna graduate
next year. Hey, Beck didn't graduate.

Tony, I'm trying to show you that a guy
can make it to the top from anywhere.

Yeah, yeah.
I get your drift. Hey, listen.

Uh, why don't you meet me at
my house in about an hour,

and I'll run over some of the
algebra with you, help you out.

Gee, Mr. H., I'd love to,
but I gotta go to my job at the drugstore.

- I'm savin' up to buy a wheat field.
- I'll flunk you, Tony.

And all your friends are
gonna pass you right on by.

- That's blackmail.
- That's life.

See ya in an hour.

Let's take him.Right.

We're with the teachers' union,
and we'd like you to sign this petition.

All right.
You got a pen?

I sure have.

Take these keys.
It's in the spare-tire well in the back.

What's in this thing,
Mr. Dunn? You got Hinkley?

He's in the backseat.
Get them both in that car.

Then wait here.
I'll drive it in.

So, the funeral is over, the casket
has been lowered into the ground...

and the last rites have been
said over James J. Beck.

This is Keith Asherman once again,

back at the grave site of J.J. Beck,

where the mourners are
filing out slowly now,

each pondering the future
of Beck Industries...

The industrial giant
that was J.J. Beck.

Friends and relatives
and business associates alike...

have all come here today
to pay their respects.

I have to say, Jerry,

J.J. Beck was perhaps
the most controversial...

It's been accomplished.

A long journey, Marshall.

Made a couple
of wrong turns, I think.

But there are still unanswered questions:
The missing will, the vast assets,

the struggle for power and control of the
biggest corporate structure in America.

One can only guess
at how it all will end.

He's alive.
You're alive.

Mr. Beck, I don't understand.
Why are you alive?

It's a long story,
and, like most long stories,

it's complicated
and full of intrigue.

Oh, that's
for a costume party.

You see, I'm a teacher,
and we're having a dance at school.

I got that from United Costume Rentals.

...off of me!

He's a schoolteacher,
just like he said.

Over the last
six months,

I've read several accounts
of Agent Maxwell's arrests.

Oh, Mr. Maxwell
is a remarkable agent...

with a, uh...
Resourceful instincts.

Agent William Maxwell
is a very average,

middle-level federal agent with
a record of mediocre service.

Hard-headed, uninspired...
In short, a drone...

With a limited performance
record for 30 years.

Well, I think that's a kind of a
narrow, limited view of it,

if you don't mind
my saying so, sir.

You two were in
some secluded spot.

You were approached by an alien
spacecraft, given this suit.

It has superpowers.

You've been working
as a team,

fightin' evil influences
in this hemisphere.

I don't know what they're puttin'
in your air bottle there, Mr. Beck,

but you're beginning to sound like
the after-dinner speaker at Bellevue.

I need your help.

And if I don't get it,
I'll expose you to the world.

- How many other people know about this, sir?
- Only Marshall and myself.

The men outside were hired by Marshall.
They know nothing.

Jordan Heath and
my top officers were...

They were feeding Mr. Beck food
that had no nutritional value.

He started to fade away,
developed pleurisy.

Finally, we were able to fly
down Dr. David Springfield,

who was his personal physician
for almost the last 40 years.

Drew up a will,
had it notarized...

and Dr. Springfield pronounced him dead
so that we could get him out of that room.

We crashed the plane that was carrying
his body back home supposedly.

The body we buried this afternoon
was that of an indigent...

who was burned beyond
recognition in a skid row fire.

I only have a few
months left to live.

Dr. Springfield was chosen to take
the will to the federal government.

That was a couple
of days ago.

He never did arrive
at his destination.

Uh-huh.
Killed.

Uh, bushwhacked, dead.
Right?

Of course not.
How could you be so stupid?

I'm-I'm becoming very disappointed in
you, Mr. Maxwell.

Well, you haven't seen me
do my card trick yet.

Dr. Springfield is selling you
out, isn't he?

He took the will, and he's selling
it to Jordan Heath for money.

Yeah. That was
my backup theory too.

Show 'em
the doctor's picture.

He's in Las Vegas now.

He's being paid across the roulette
table in a hotel we own there.

I need you and this suit to stop
the payoff and recover the will.

Why should we
help you, Mr. Beck?

Because I left the entire
proceeds of my fortune to charity.

Why don't you
just write a new will?

I'd have to surface
to admit this deception...

and die in the glare
of publicity.

I want these last months
to pass in private.

I need your help.

Marshall here is too old,
and I can't trust anybody else.

I've researched you two.

I don't think you would have been given
this suit unless you could be trusted.

It's a gamble, I know,
but then I'm used to taking chances.

Now, will you help me?

You know, it's, uh,
a chance to make a big difference.

Think of all the poor
that it would help.

Well, come on, Ralph.
Let's not get all misty here.

Because in his whole life, Mr. Beck
never fed so much as a parking meter.

I'm dyin', Mr. Maxwell.

There comes a time, you know,
when you start thinking...

about what you are
and how you've behaved...

and how you'll account for those
things in the world beyond.

If you get the will back,
you read it.

You'll see that I'm
telling you the truth.

And then,
when you're convinced,

you'll give it over
to the authorities.

Bill.

It's a chance
to do something,

a chance to make a huge difference.

I'm thinkin',
weighing it...

in my mediocre, uninspired,
middle-level mind.

Where's he get off callin'
my career mediocre?

Next to his, everybody's career is
mediocre. What is so hot about his career?

- Anybody can make money.
- I can't believe I met J.J. Beck.

He should have had my
section leader in Detroit.

His career would've looked
pretty crummy too.

We'll be in Las Vegas in a few minutes.
I can't be seen with you.

You go to the Desert Air Hotel. That's
the one that the Beck Industries own.

That's where Jordan and his associates...
all of his executives... headquarter.

Now, use the suit to start winning.
We don't have much time.

You don't tell us what to do. I run
the field operation, and I run the kid.

Excuse me, but, uh, Irun the kid.
Okay? Go on.

Mr. Maxwell, you're a very shrewd
and dedicated federal agent.

I apologize for Mr. Beck's brusque way.
He doesn't spare people's feelings.

We have great respect for you and your
position, and we are in your debt.

Well, look, pal. He said it, I heard it...

and I don't need a rubdown
from the team doctor.

Um, excuse me, Mr. Dunn,
but how do I clean out the bank?

You use the telekinesis powers of
the suit to control physical matter.

Yeah. That's the way
you do it, Ralph.

Excuse me, but uh,
I don't, uh, follow.

How do I, uh...
How do I do that?

You make your mind a blank
and push hard.

Please don't pretend ignorance. I thought
you were gonna try and be helpful.

A lot is at stake.

I'm tellin' ya.
These guys make me nervous.

Blank and push.
Blank and push.

Ralph?

Ralph!

I did it. I did it.
I moved it.

All I have to do is make my mind
perfectly blank, and I push.

I don't think of anything. I just leave
it open. It's kind of a vagueness.

It was a terrific trick, kid.
Why don't you try it again?

Drop a plate of eggs on my lap.
Better yet, a Mexican dinner or something.

You wanna see me do it again? Watch this.
I'll bring this magazine right over to you.

- Now don't move.
- Ralph?

Will you knock it off?

I'm sorry, Bill. It's kind of got a
pull to the left, but I'll work on it.

I'm startin' to lose my
middle-level temper here, Ralph.

Bill.

Bill.

How did he know that?

Ralph, I'm just trying to show you...

why Beck has got this unnatural
opinion of my abilities.

That's all. In Phoenix, for example,

I had this terrible
district chief... Kiel Kline.

"First in line" Kline we used to call him,

'cause he always stole
everybody's collars.

You're not gonna be able to get
very much career traction...

when your supervisor is
stealin' your... your busts.

So, that's what happened.

You know, I've never been to Vegas.
This is kind of exciting.

Yeah, as long
as you dress right...

You know, conservative,
not too garish.

Driver, uh,
Desert Air Hotel.

So, uh, Bill, how long you had that coat?

Huh? Oh, uh,
this old rag?

Well, I... You like it? Well, it's...
It's different. Yeah.

Well, I just pulled this out of the
old footlocker. You did, huh? Here.

- What's that?
- Price tag.

Oh.
Well, imagine that.

After all those times to the
dry cleaner and everything.

Anyhow, uh, with this
new power of yours...

With this new power,
I ought to be able to clean up in no time.

Power?

System.
We're system bettors.

You wanna keep your nose on the yellow
line, pal? You're payin' the meter.

We can have this
conversation without you.

- Wait a minute, Bill. I'm getting something.
- Huh?

Yeah.
Some guys are after Dunn!

- You see it?
- I see that!

He's runnin' back to the plane.
Go! They got him. They got him.

- They're putting him into the back of a station wagon.
- I'm not drivin' no crazies.

Get out!

Ralph. Ralph! Ralph!
This is a public street.

There's a bush over there.
Come on.

You guys
should get helmets.

Hurry up, Ralph.
You've gotta get back to that airport.

Uh! Ohh!

This is Global American
Airlines, Flight 505,

coming in
for a final approach.

Las Vegas Terminal,
are we clear to land?

Stand by, Global American.

Global American 505, we got a U.F.O.
comin' into Grid 16.

Pull up! Pull up!

You're on a collision course
with a fast-closing object!

- Watch out!
- Whoa!

- No!
- What was that?

I can't believe you let two guys in
painted shirts take Dunn away from you.

- That's unreal.
- I almost went into the intake of a 747.

What are you talkin' about?
I'm not interested in creative excuses.

You're startin' to sound
like Carlisle.

The only thing you've been interested
in since Beck stepped on your ego...

is grousing
about your old bosses.

Will you stop yakking at me? I'm getting a headache...
a migraine. I haven't had one since Korea.

I almost go through a 20-ton Cuisinart,
and you got a migraine headache.

There it is.
That's the one there.

And that looks like Dr. Springfield.

All bets are down.20,000 down on 36.

He's a half-million dollars ahead.

See if you can
put a jinx on the wheel.

Try not to knock everybody's
drink in their lap.

Make my mind blank and push.
Blank and push.

Mind is blank.
It is blank.

Hi.

Thirty-six red. Winner.

Great. That's
really great work, Ralph. Well...

Will you
stop foolin' around?

My senses are being accosted here.
Would you give me a break.

It's not easy
to concentrate. Let's get a little closer.

Oh, no. I don't believe it. Well, well.
Look who's here.

Buster Billy. Who let you out?

Who is he?
Who are you? Name of Mathews.

See all them little holes on his face? He got
those tryin' to learn how to eat with a fork.

Your clock just ran out,
Maxwell.

I don't know who you are,
but stay away from him.

He's about to do a
jackknife into a coffin.

Colorful.
Real colorful.

Gee! Who's sittin'
on that parole board?

I had that guy up on a real good,
solid second-degree murder beef.

Got interesting friends, Bill.
He's a wind machine. Forget him.

Look. You gotta... You gotta concentrate
and make your mind a total blank.

In this place, it's not real easy.
You know what I mean?

Well, think of a piece of white
paper or something like that.

White paper. That's a good idea.
White paper.

White paper.

Holy... Moly!

It's unbelievable!

Oh, boy. I didn't mean
to do that.

Ralph, look what you did. I didn't mean
to do it.

Yeah, but, um... Listen.
This is not the right time,

but I got a couple weeks off
in August.

We might think about comin' back up here.
We could, uh, well, you know...

Use the suit for, uh,
personal gains, Bill? Huh?

Roll some dice?
Hit a couple jackpots?

Well, uh...

No. I mean, we could also... We could have
enough so that we could have our own,

you know, crime-fighting, uh, center.
All bets are down.

Yeah? Will it have a pool
and a furnished cabana? Come on, Ralph.

Give me a break. Boy, oh, boy. This is
exactly what Beck was talkin' about.

We are so easily corrupted. We have to
stay away from that kind of temptation.

- How much money do you have?
- Boy.

Come here. Don't count it.
Just give me that.

Let's see
what we got here.

- Let's see. Uh, everything on double zero.
- I'm betting 36 again.

All bets are down.

All right. Now, don't
think about the glitter.

Don't think
about the dames.

Make your mind
a complete blank.

Forget everything.

Don't look at anything
that jiggles. Would you shut up!

Thirty-six red.
Winner!

He won again. I wish I had this guy's luck.

That was pretty dumb,
I guess. Oh, youdumb, Bill?

Dumb? No.I said I was sorry.

If you can't muster up a little concentration,
I don't know what to tell you.

Muster up some concentration?
What are you talkin' about?

You stand there right next to me
and... and list the... distractions.

Then you tell me to rip off the
casino with my... with my suit...

after flicking insults
at Godzilla.

How am I supposed to keep
my mind blank, Bill?

Let me have the rest of what you got.
We're down to nickels and dimes.

What is this? 12.50?
You gotta be kidding. 12.50.

I have
a middle-level income...

to match my middle-level,
mediocre career, okay?

You stay here, all right?
I'll tend to the table.

Oh, boy. Let me have, uh, 12.50
on two zeros, please.

- Twelve dollars and 50 cents, sir?
- Double zero.

White paper.
White paper.

A very, very... White paper. White paper.

White paper. White paper. White paper.

Very, very white paper.

Double zero. Another winner.
Double zero.

All right!
I won.

I won.

You lose.
I win.

All right!
I won. I won.

Put it right there, please.
I'm gettin' the hang of this.

Uh... white paper.

Okay. Let me try it again.
I got the hang of this now.

This is Vern.
Let me talk to Heath.

Let me have this
on double zero too, please.

You're bad luck for me,
mister.

Why don't you try
another table?

I like this table.
Double zero, please. White paper.

Yeah, we, uh, may have a guy with a
magnet on roulette table number one.

That's the table where we're paying off Springfield,
right? You're sure he's using a magnet?

He knocked Dr. Springfield
for 10,000.

I want that payoff completed
in the next half hour.

Take the limit off that table.
I'm getting spooked about this deal.

Too many old Beck employees
are showing up.

Should we bust the blond kid
on table one?

No. Just get rid of him.
Throw him out.

- I don't need the sheriff in here while we're doing this.
- Right.

- There's a four right there.
- That's a hard four.

Well, uh, I'm
a little thin today, boys,

but put those two down
on the "Come" line, please.

Maxwell. I got a good
odds-on bet for you.

I'll give you 6-to-5 you don't
leave here with your pump runnin'.

Well, Jilly, that's a real exciting
project. Who you got workin' it for you?

Well, not that I can't do it
myself, but, just in case,

I got the Soledad
class of '80 with me.

Oh, well.

They must really have a
revolving door in that joint.

Uh, well.

Mitchell, Travalina, Fat-jack brothers.
That's great.

Well, boys, I tell you what.
I'm gonna ignore the fact...

that you're all in violation of
parole just bein' in the state.

What I want is for you
to go out the front door.

Now. Real nice. If you do that,

I'm gonna forgive you
this one time.

Take him, will ya. What? Wait a minute.

Uh, excuse me, sir.
Would you come with us, please.

How come? Just come with us.

Why? I have my rights.
I'm just playing here like everybody else.

Sure. Wait a minute!
Wait a minute! Bill!

Bill!

I'm gonna make this easy
on you, kid.

We know you're playing
with electronic equipment.

You get one strike around here for free.
You had yours.

What about my money?
You guys have my winnings, you know.

We got a saying in this town.
"Cheaters never prosper."

It's old, but we like it.
Bye-bye.

Well, wait a minute.
Hey, you guys.

Um, you know what...

Okay, Maxwell,
we're goin' for a little ride.

We got that hole ready out in the desert,

but nobody had time to scare up a pine box.

Ah

Hi. Uh... Ah

These are my...
lucky undies.

Ah Would you hold these?

All alone

In the danger zone

Better keep your head
or else you're dead

You're on your own

You guys really come prepared.
I hope somebody brought the deviled eggs.

All we're gonna have
is hamburger.

Welcome to Boot Hill.
Come on.

You got the power You got the power

- You got the power
- Oh, no!

You got the power You got the power

You got the power

You got the power

- White paper! White paper!
- Ralph!

- You got the power
- White paper! White paper!

- You got the power
- Ralph!

You got the power

You got the power

Get off my face!

Hey, Maxwell! Let us out of here!
We're gonna cook in here!

A tasty treat.

Four of them, Bill.
Do you have any friends in this town?

Uh, a few, Ralph. Come back here, Maxwell!

And maybe the highway
patrol, I hope.

Okay. It's all here.

When do you deliver
J.J.'s will?

I'm not stupid enough
to have it here in Vegas.

I'll mail it to you when I feel I'm safe.
Now, don't worry, Jordan.

Ten million dollars will
last me the rest of my life.

I'm not gonna go through
something like this again.

You'll get the will.

I'd like you to walk me
to the parking lot...

just as a precaution.

- What's that?
- The will.

Uh, sir? Sir?

Don't say it, all right? I don't have
to say it. That's the fifth car, Ralph.

This is not working.
You're gonna have to fly out of here.

If you don't stop Springfield from sellin'
that will, it's all gone for nothing.

Give me the sending unit.

All right, Bill.
I'll fly.

I hate it, but I guess
there's no other way.

No one's gonna stop
for a hitchhiker...

walkin' down the highway
in his underwear.

Springfield's probably
out of town by now.

Wait a second.

Okay, now.
Go ahead.

It's Dr. Springfield.
He's dead.

I don't really give a
damn about any of that.

I think you've been lyin' to us, mister.

Come on, Bill. You don't have to
talk to him in that tone of voice.

Maybe you could try to get a
grip on yourself, Mr. Maxwell.

Is that right?
Well, I'll tell ya.

You may have been J.J. Beck
to the rest of the world,

but you were as crooked as a dog's
hind leg, and I think you still are.

Who are you really,
Mr. Beck?

How did you know
about that spaceship?

How did Mr. Dunn know about telekinesis?
He told me how to do it.

It's in your instruction book.

What? How do you know
about the book?

Did you ever wonder how J.J.
Beck made his fortune? Huh?

A high school dropout who
bought a wheat field in Kansas.

I just loved flying.
Aviation, yeah.

I had this dream we could bring
civilization into a new era, but...

I was wrong.

With speed comes hazards.

Our country... our-our world... is
careening down a pipe out of control.

- We're headin' for oblivion.
- Yeah, well, we can get all that on Sermonette.

- You had a suit... like mine, didn't you?
- What?

Didn't you?

That spaceship approached you out
in the desert and gave you a suit.

And Marshall Dunn
was your partner,

much the same as Bill is mine.

I used the power badly.
I became greedy.

Oh, I convinced myself
it was for the good of man,

but really it was just
for the good of J.J. Beck.

And Marshall,
he left me in disgust 20 years ago.

By then, you know,
I became bitter, aggressive,

bent on destroying anyone
that stood in my way.

You know, I've been thinking
a lot about that, Mr. Beck.

You know, hundreds of years ago,
a Lord Acton said something.

He said, "Power corrupts,
and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

I tried to fight it. I tried.

God, I tried, but... I wanted so much.

And all this stuff about... about the
will, giving it to charity.

Is that the payback?

Let me paint you a picture, Ralph.
Mr. Beck here is online...

The final countdown.

A few more months and, uh,
he's gonna be...

He's gonna be
wanderin' around up there...

lookin' for a harp
and a fluffy white cloud.

He's tryin' to buy himself
a good seat on the ark.

You have a unique talent
for bluntness, Mr. Maxwell.

Well, sir, uh,
that used to be your trademark.

I bought out Harlan
Air Corporation in 1935.

Sidney Harlan designed
the radial engine airplane.

Oh, I did everything to destroy
him and his subsidiaries.

And then I put on my suit,
a suit much like yours...

but different in many ways.

I became invisible,
and I went to his house.

I just wanted to see
how badly I had him cornered.

I snuck up the stairs.
I stood there in his room,

and I watched.

Everything he loved,
I had taken away from him.

His wife was leaving.

I stood behind him,
invisible,

and watched through the
window as she drove away.

Oh, I... I felt bad
when I left, sure,

but I won.

I won my airplane.

I was outside the house
when I heard the shot.

It wasn't worth it,
was it, Mr. Beck?

All the money and...

all the power,
and you're still unhappy.

Well, sometimes you have
to look back, you know,

to understand where you were
and what you did.

Look at me, Ralph.
It's your chance to look forward.

Remember what you see.

We'll help you, Mr. Beck.
We'll help.

Lord Acton sure knew
what he was sayin'.

I wonder if he...
If he had a suit too.

I wonder how long you two can hold out.

I wonder.

I just wonder.

Sir, this is, uh,
probably a kook,

but there's a guy on the private
line who says he's J.J. Beck.

You know his voice.
Is it him?

Well, sir, that's the point.
I think so.

Much weaker, but, uh,
yeah, I think it's him.

He wants to talk to you.

- Who is this, please?
- J.J., back from the grave.

Rich Little does impressions.
I like a joke.

Take it
to the main room. The will.

You went to a lot of trouble to get that
will from Dr. Springfield, didn't you?

Only I'm going to court
tomorrow and write a new one,

and this one's
goin' on public record.

I still don't believe
I'm talking to Jim Beck.

Polo Lounge,
Los Angeles, 1968.

You cleaned out
Robert Price for me.

Sixteen cents
on the dollar, huh?

We put that one over on the
government pretty good, didn't we?

You and me and Marshall
were the only ones who knew.

Do you want more now?

Welcome back, J.J.

Unfortunately,
I've got control.

Well, I can fix that.

I've also got Marshall Dunn.
He could fall down in traffic.

I also know how much you hate
the bright lights, J.J.

Sounds to me like we have the
makings of a nice negotiation.

Yeah. Trouble is,
how do we survive this thing?

Remember Phyllis Anderson's
property east of here? Yeah.

It's got a nice landing strip and, uh,
surveillance from a distance. Remember?

You wanna say in an hour or so?
And bring Marshall.

And be sure he's pretty
healthy, will ya?

Of course, neither of us
is gonna be alone, you know.

I gotta take care of this.

See, I've giving you
this envelope, Mr. Hinkley.

In case it doesn't work out,
you see that it's executed.

You're the only one
I'm sure is gonna walk away.

We'll take the chopper on the roof.

Bring a guy with a rifle
and a nightscope.

Well, I gotta
hand it to you, Mr. Beck.

You're a tough customer. Doesn't make
any difference what you say about me.

I gotta respect a tough guy.
You handled that negotiation like a pro.

I was wrong about you, Maxwell.
I think you're a real pro.

Thank you, sir.

Oh, this is strange for me.

Marshall and I, we...
We had such plans.

We were gonna do so much,
and it just...

Just went astray.

Yeah. Yeah.

Boy, you know, Ralph,
it was startin' to happen to us.

It really was.
I could feel it.

The money and the power and our own
private crime center, with pool.

Mr. Beck. Hmm?

You see, Bill and I don't
have the instruction book. You...

We lost it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

There.

We were hoping that you could
help explain how the suit worked.

Not havin' that instruction book
might be your salvation, Ralph.

It could minimize your power,
keep you on the defensive.

Huh. You know, I never thought about
it like that. Maybe he's right, Bill.

Are you kidding? That's the craziest
thing I've ever heard in my life.

Look, Mr. Beck. Ralph and I are
floatin' around, and it's fruit salad.

We're lost.
We can't do anything right.

And don't give me that
Lord "Asher's" theory either.Acton.

Some 16th-century bozo with puffed-out
pants is not the answer here.

Sir, we need that book.
Oh, it doesn't matter.

They took my suit away 20
years ago along with the book.

I'd done enough damage
on my own.

Don't worry, Ralph. You'll work
out your problems with the suit.

Only I hope and I pray
you do better than I.

Okay.

There they are.

I'll get your chair, sir.

No. I'm gonna have
this meetin' on my feet.

Stay here.

They won't try anything until
they know what the odds are.

You're through
callin' the shots here.

I'm goin' with you,
and Ralph's gonna fly high cover.

As you wish. Good luck, sir.

Let me see Marshall
before you come any closer.

It's a long time...

since our first projects together
in Denver, isn't it, Jordy?

Let's cut the small talk
and get to the deal.

Small talk
is an old man's diversion.

Now, let's get on with it
and get it over with.

I don't know who you are,
but it is over.

Get me up.
Is everybody all right?

Mr. Beck,
is anything the matter?

Don't you see it?

Oh, boy. Here they come... the green guys.

Gotta pay the last bill
in person.

Make sure
it's not a big one.

I'm coming with you, J.J.

Stay here. They want me too.

I can feel it.
There's no way to resist.

There isn't? There isn't?

What do you mean? What are you talkin'
about? You can resist anything.

Let's go, J.J.
We started together.

We'll end together.

Where's...
What is he...

What's he talkin' about?
Where is he goin'?

Ralph, I hate this.
I really do.

I don't know, Bill.
They... They seem to wanna go.

Huh?

I tried.
I really tried.

It's okay.
We're okay.

That was awesome. Yeah, awesome.
It's awesome.

Don't worry about it, kid.
I'm with ya.

We're in this thing
together, like it or lump it.

Hey, Bill!

What brings you
over this way?

Yeah. Uh...

Yeah.

Well, uh, boy,
look at all these sleds here.

Uh, you got enough vehicle
violations here to...

To-to-to service a traffic
division for a whole year.

"Morning, Ralph.
How you doin'?"

Yeah. Well, yeah.
Well, listen, um,

Ralph... What's on your
middle-level mind, Bill?

Uh, I... I hope we're not
gonna carry that, uh,

little joke around too much
longer, okay, Ralph?

What's on your mind, Bill?

Or what's not?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just...
Bill, I feel so good.

Have you seen these headlines?

Yeah, I saw it.

Yeah. All that loot goin'
to feed a bunch of guys...

whose entire lifework is sittin'
in front of a liquor store all day.

Yeah. Well, it'll be in probate
for about five years,

but, I mean, we...
We did it, Bill.

We actually changed something.
What is wrong with you?

The thing that's buggin' me... I
haven't slept for three nights.

Um, the thing
that I don't...

That I don't wanna
have happen, is, uh...

Uh... Bill, should I take a ticket
and sit down?

What's on your mind?
Come on. Spit it out.

Okay.

When we...

croak, finally,

do you think...
that the, uh...

You know, the, uh...
Come on. You know.

That they're gonna
come down and-and-and...

And snap us up
the way they did Beck?

Do you think that
we're gonna be...

flyin' around in the sky with the
little green guys for-forever?

Ralph, this is not funny.

I think that's... terrific,
Bill. That's terrific. Huh?

I think that would
be a wonderful experience.

Well, yeah,
it's an experience, sure.

And it's uplifting, I'm sure,
but I-I... I have this little, you know,

conventional need to get buried in
the ground at Forest Lawn, Ralph.

With a little stone that
says, "Here lies the fed..."

"who busted his acorn tryin'
to do the right thing.

He didn't lie, cheat or steal.
He was a good guy."

I need... You think that might happen?

You think they might come down
and pick us up and take us away? Ralph!

- That's a wonderful idea.
- That's a horrible idea.

- It's wonderful.
- It's horrible.

- It's wonderful.
- It's horrible.

You know it isn't easy
You know it ain't easy

No one said that it would be

You know it isn't easy
You know it ain't easy

Oh, yeah
