1
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,528
I have been shot at,
hit over the head,
robbed of $10,000.
2
00:00:10,604 --> 00:00:14,370
Incredible as it may seem,
all by myself I figured out
I was in a little trouble.
3
00:00:14,442 --> 00:00:16,307
You better be police,
or I ain't talking.
4
00:00:16,377 --> 00:00:19,608
Not exactly. I could have
been if I wanted...
I ain't talking.
5
00:00:19,814 --> 00:00:21,042
Lady!
6
00:00:21,115 --> 00:00:23,049
Haven't you ever wanted
something so much...
7
00:00:23,117 --> 00:00:25,142
that you didn't care how
you got it? Haven't you?
8
00:00:25,219 --> 00:00:28,120
Once you're in, you're in.
Or you're dead.
9
00:00:28,255 --> 00:00:29,415
I want Nancy Wade.
10
00:00:29,490 --> 00:00:31,890
Either you give her to me,
or you're dead.
11
00:00:32,293 --> 00:00:34,022
[Telephone ringing]
12
00:00:35,162 --> 00:00:37,221
(Rockford on
answering machine)
This is Jim Rockford.
13
00:00:37,298 --> 00:00:39,027
At the tone, leave your name
and message,
14
00:00:39,133 --> 00:00:40,122
I'll get back to you.
15
00:00:40,234 --> 00:00:41,201
[Beeps]
16
00:00:41,268 --> 00:00:43,702
(Marilyn Reed)
This is Marilyn Reed.
I want to talk to...
17
00:00:43,771 --> 00:00:47,901
Is this a machine?
I don't talk to machines.
18
00:00:48,743 --> 00:00:49,732
[Dial tone]
19
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:21,761
Mr. Moss.
Yeah. What is it?
20
00:02:22,203 --> 00:02:24,728
You are Mr. Moss,
aren't you?
Yeah.
21
00:02:25,072 --> 00:02:28,269
What can I do for you?
I'm Jim Rockford,
a private investigator.
22
00:02:28,342 --> 00:02:30,469
Your secretary said
you wanted to see me.
23
00:02:30,544 --> 00:02:33,104
Yeah, good. Glad you're here.
24
00:02:34,815 --> 00:02:38,683
What do you charge?
$200 a day, plus expenses.
25
00:02:39,286 --> 00:02:40,548
Any good?
26
00:02:41,889 --> 00:02:45,484
That's a little like asking
the headwaiter
how the steak is, isn't it?
27
00:02:45,993 --> 00:02:46,982
[Chuckles]
28
00:02:47,294 --> 00:02:49,660
Okay, Rockford,
I'm gonna give you
the ground rules.
29
00:02:49,730 --> 00:02:52,096
One, I don't like
getting fleeced.
30
00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:55,260
So you try to rummy up
the expense account,
I'm just not gonna pay it.
31
00:02:55,336 --> 00:02:58,430
I want receipts
for everything.
You got it? Everything.
32
00:02:58,506 --> 00:03:01,339
I know you guys.
You're all expense-account
hot dogs.
33
00:03:01,408 --> 00:03:04,775
I only mention this
so that you'll know
that I'm wise to you going in.
34
00:03:04,845 --> 00:03:06,972
You get the picture, mister?
35
00:03:10,885 --> 00:03:13,285
Hey, I got a black belt
in karate.
36
00:03:13,354 --> 00:03:16,448
Good. 'Cause I got
a black belt in seven iron.
37
00:03:18,292 --> 00:03:19,987
You want this job?
38
00:03:20,528 --> 00:03:24,191
We've got this little
loss-of-life policy...
39
00:03:24,265 --> 00:03:27,393
that we're trying to pay off,
a Mrs. Olivia Wade.
40
00:03:27,768 --> 00:03:30,259
She died and left
her daughter, Nancy,
$10,000.
41
00:03:30,337 --> 00:03:32,362
And we're obligated
by the Insurance Commission...
42
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,134
to spend a certain time
looking for her.
43
00:03:34,208 --> 00:03:37,803
And you want to make sure
that the daughter gets
what's truly hers, right?
44
00:03:38,279 --> 00:03:42,875
Sure. Anyway,
this dead woman,
our insured...
45
00:03:43,751 --> 00:03:45,844
she's got a sister
living somewhere
in Los Angeles.
46
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,888
You might be able to get
some information...
47
00:03:47,955 --> 00:03:49,820
as to the daughter's
whereabouts from her.
48
00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:51,482
You got an address
on the sister?
49
00:03:51,559 --> 00:03:54,323
No. We looked.
We tried everything.
Can't find the sister.
50
00:03:54,395 --> 00:03:58,263
We know is that she's in the
city somewhere and her name
is Mrs. Ted Wainwright.
51
00:04:01,969 --> 00:04:04,460
Now, how about it?
How about what?
52
00:04:05,072 --> 00:04:07,905
You gonna take it?
You gonna say please?
53
00:04:09,843 --> 00:04:10,901
No.
54
00:04:12,613 --> 00:04:14,604
All right. I'll take it.
55
00:04:15,082 --> 00:04:16,071
[Laughs]
56
00:04:21,989 --> 00:04:25,049
You got to move
your right hand over a little.
57
00:04:31,732 --> 00:04:33,632
(Rockford)
"Mrs. Ted Wainwright."
58
00:04:35,936 --> 00:04:39,133
You really looked, didn't you?
59
00:04:39,206 --> 00:04:42,835
Detective? Police?
Well, you better be police,
or I ain't talking.
60
00:04:42,910 --> 00:04:46,778
Not exactly. I could have
been if I wanted...
I ain't talking.
61
00:04:47,381 --> 00:04:49,076
Lady!
62
00:04:49,416 --> 00:04:50,405
[Groans]
63
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,880
You shouldn't know
how to do that,
unless you know how.
64
00:04:55,956 --> 00:04:59,392
What's the matter
with you, lady? I'm not here
to repossess the TV.
65
00:04:59,460 --> 00:05:00,950
I'm working
for an insurance company.
66
00:05:01,028 --> 00:05:03,963
Your sister died
and she left
some insurance money.
67
00:05:04,031 --> 00:05:08,127
Yeah. Well, who'd
she leave it to?
68
00:05:08,335 --> 00:05:10,394
Nancy, her daughter.
69
00:05:10,804 --> 00:05:14,331
No. That can't be right.
There's a mistake.
70
00:05:14,908 --> 00:05:18,571
No, it is true.
They hired me to find her.
71
00:05:18,646 --> 00:05:22,412
How much was the policy?
I'm not allowed to say.
72
00:05:24,084 --> 00:05:27,281
Don't that beat all?
I mean, Nancy.
73
00:05:27,788 --> 00:05:31,519
She run off when she was 16
and she didn't come
home, never.
74
00:05:31,592 --> 00:05:35,084
I'm over at Olivia's,
day and night, scrubbing
and cleaning up the place...
75
00:05:35,162 --> 00:05:38,461
and looking after her. And who
did she leave
that insurance money to?
76
00:05:38,532 --> 00:05:41,023
That ungrateful kid.
Now ain't that a bummer?
77
00:05:41,101 --> 00:05:44,593
Yeah. That really sounds
awful, just rotten.
78
00:05:45,406 --> 00:05:48,307
Anyway, do you know
where she is?
79
00:05:50,344 --> 00:05:52,972
If I help you,
how much is there
in it for me?
80
00:05:53,280 --> 00:05:56,181
For you? $10.
81
00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:58,309
Get your foot out
or get ready to lose it.
82
00:05:59,586 --> 00:06:01,645
$20... $50!
83
00:06:03,457 --> 00:06:07,393
You're on an expense account,
ain't you?
Yeah, but I got to be careful.
84
00:06:08,128 --> 00:06:09,356
You make it $100.
85
00:06:09,430 --> 00:06:12,422
Look, the man I'm working for,
he's...
I ain't fooling.
86
00:06:12,499 --> 00:06:15,832
$100, I'll let you
have something. Maybe
it'll help, maybe it won't.
87
00:06:17,771 --> 00:06:20,740
Okay.
Get your foot out.
88
00:06:21,608 --> 00:06:25,544
I ain't gonna let you come
in here.
You just wait right here.
89
00:06:34,355 --> 00:06:37,222
Let me have the money.
What's that?
90
00:06:37,458 --> 00:06:40,859
After Olivia died, I went over
to pick up the mail,
and this was in the box.
91
00:06:40,928 --> 00:06:43,624
It's a letter from Nancy.
Did they correspond a lot?
92
00:06:43,697 --> 00:06:45,756
Nancy used to send letters
to Olivia.
93
00:06:46,033 --> 00:06:48,558
Olivia never answered them.
She disowned her.
94
00:06:48,635 --> 00:06:52,093
Where'd the letters
come from?
All over the country.
95
00:06:53,340 --> 00:06:55,331
Get out of here, mister.
96
00:07:02,416 --> 00:07:04,316
(Rockford)
"Dear Mom,
I want to come home.
97
00:07:04,385 --> 00:07:06,910
"I got a lot of fences
to mend. But I want to try.
98
00:07:06,987 --> 00:07:10,616
"I'm at the Monarch Hotel
in Las Vegas, Room 210:
99
00:07:10,691 --> 00:07:13,285
"Please write to me this time.
Love, Nancy."
100
00:07:20,334 --> 00:07:23,861
Well, don't let it
choke you up.
Very touching.
101
00:07:25,105 --> 00:07:29,337
You owe me $200,
plus $5 for the gas,
and $100 for the letter.
102
00:07:30,310 --> 00:07:34,007
It's 1:30. You haven't put in
a full day yet. Where's the
receipt for the hundred?
103
00:07:34,081 --> 00:07:36,208
I didn't get one.
Why not?
104
00:07:37,418 --> 00:07:41,252
You had to be there.
No receipt,
no expense payment.
105
00:07:41,555 --> 00:07:42,988
But I'll make you this deal.
106
00:07:43,056 --> 00:07:45,786
You fly up to Vegas,
give the check
to Nancy Wade...
107
00:07:45,859 --> 00:07:47,486
I'll throw in an extra $200.
108
00:07:48,061 --> 00:07:50,427
You can mail it for a dime.
No.
109
00:07:50,697 --> 00:07:54,064
Terms of the policy demand
that the payment
be made by cashier's check.
110
00:07:54,134 --> 00:07:55,829
It's too risky to mail.
111
00:07:57,337 --> 00:08:00,306
You'll personally give it
to Nancy in front of a notary.
112
00:08:00,374 --> 00:08:03,571
You are bonded, of course.
Just barely, yeah.
113
00:08:04,411 --> 00:08:07,312
Well, you'll need
a roundtrip plane ticket
to Vegas.
114
00:08:07,381 --> 00:08:09,713
Flight leaves
in about an hour.
115
00:08:09,883 --> 00:08:11,646
I like first class.
116
00:08:12,753 --> 00:08:14,243
I like coach.
117
00:08:52,493 --> 00:08:53,892
[Woman laughing]
118
00:09:44,811 --> 00:09:47,075
Hi.
We're full up.
119
00:09:47,147 --> 00:09:50,514
You have a lady here,
Nancy Wade, Room 210.
120
00:09:51,184 --> 00:09:54,153
Nobody here by that name.
She checked out?
121
00:09:54,221 --> 00:09:56,849
Never has been
any Nancy Wade in 210.
122
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,523
This is her picture.
123
00:10:03,797 --> 00:10:05,594
Never saw her before.
124
00:10:08,268 --> 00:10:09,599
[Telephone ringing]
125
00:10:12,105 --> 00:10:14,869
Monarch Hotel. Yeah.
126
00:10:24,318 --> 00:10:25,546
(Nancy)
Go away.
127
00:10:25,852 --> 00:10:28,218
It's the fire inspector.
Open up, please.
128
00:10:29,222 --> 00:10:30,746
What? Who?
129
00:10:30,958 --> 00:10:32,687
The fire inspector.
130
00:10:38,632 --> 00:10:41,192
Hi. Now wait a minute.
131
00:10:41,802 --> 00:10:43,531
I'm a private investigator.
132
00:10:43,604 --> 00:10:47,734
I work for an insurance
company and I have
a $10,000 check for you.
133
00:10:48,208 --> 00:10:49,971
Here, wait. Here.
134
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:54,472
See.
135
00:10:55,315 --> 00:10:56,976
Now may I come in?
136
00:10:57,050 --> 00:10:59,280
Why? What insurance?
137
00:11:01,588 --> 00:11:04,751
Have you heard
about your mother?
Yeah.
138
00:11:05,359 --> 00:11:08,089
I heard about her
from a friend in L.A.
139
00:11:08,462 --> 00:11:11,829
Yeah, this
life insurance money,
she left it for you.
140
00:11:24,211 --> 00:11:26,111
I'm sorry. I...
It's okay.
141
00:11:26,213 --> 00:11:28,078
...just didn't know
she had any insurance.
142
00:11:28,148 --> 00:11:31,345
My mother and I,
we didn't get along, but...
143
00:11:31,418 --> 00:11:33,682
Hey, it's okay.
You don't need to explain.
144
00:11:33,754 --> 00:11:36,382
I'm just delivering
a check for a fee.
145
00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:40,385
It's just that
I feel such strange about it.
146
00:11:42,462 --> 00:11:44,930
It's not like
I couldn't use it.
Yeah.
147
00:11:44,998 --> 00:11:48,092
Do you have a bank nearby
where we could deposit it?
148
00:11:48,168 --> 00:11:51,137
Bank. Oh, no.
I don't have a bank. No.
149
00:11:51,972 --> 00:11:53,769
Just leave it here.
I'll take care of it.
150
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,776
It should be notarized, and
the best way to do that
is to take it to a bank...
151
00:11:57,844 --> 00:12:00,142
and then
you can deposit it there.
152
00:12:00,213 --> 00:12:03,808
Look, it's a cashier's check.
You should get it deposited.
153
00:12:10,290 --> 00:12:12,121
Miss Wade, are you all right?
154
00:12:12,192 --> 00:12:14,353
Yeah, sure. Of course.
155
00:12:15,395 --> 00:12:18,228
There's a bank right down
on the highway
in a shopping center.
156
00:12:18,298 --> 00:12:19,925
Should we use that one?
157
00:12:21,168 --> 00:12:22,726
Just a minute.
158
00:12:43,256 --> 00:12:46,521
Miss, are you
in some kind of trouble?
159
00:12:46,993 --> 00:12:49,086
Look, it's none
of your business.
160
00:12:49,162 --> 00:12:52,791
If I need a guy
on a white horse,
I'll call the circus. Okay?
161
00:12:56,136 --> 00:12:58,127
I'm glad we got that settled.
162
00:13:14,755 --> 00:13:17,815
Get in the car.
They're coming.
163
00:13:35,909 --> 00:13:37,137
[Engine starting]
164
00:13:44,551 --> 00:13:46,212
Let's get moving.
165
00:13:46,887 --> 00:13:48,013
[Engine starting]
166
00:13:51,391 --> 00:13:52,688
[Tires screeching]
167
00:14:48,512 --> 00:14:49,809
[Telephone ringing]
168
00:14:51,183 --> 00:14:53,481
How do you do?
My name is Rockford.
This is Miss Wade.
169
00:14:53,552 --> 00:14:55,383
Herb Strock.
What can I do for you?
170
00:14:55,454 --> 00:14:58,048
I have a cashier's check
for $10,000.
171
00:14:58,123 --> 00:15:00,591
It's payment
on a life insurance policy.
172
00:15:00,659 --> 00:15:05,028
Miss Wade would like to open
an account, and I'll need
the transaction notarized.
173
00:15:05,397 --> 00:15:06,557
Proof of delivery.
174
00:15:07,032 --> 00:15:08,897
That can be arranged.
175
00:15:08,968 --> 00:15:10,959
On deposits like these,
we need some information.
176
00:15:11,036 --> 00:15:12,526
IRS and all that.
177
00:15:12,605 --> 00:15:15,506
If you'll write down
your full name
and Social Security number...
178
00:15:15,574 --> 00:15:17,303
we'll feed it
into the computer.
179
00:15:17,977 --> 00:15:22,209
Just take this over to
Mrs. Trask. Right over there.
She's a notary public.
180
00:15:23,949 --> 00:15:25,314
Thank you.
181
00:15:28,888 --> 00:15:30,549
How do you do, Mrs. Trask?
Hello.
182
00:15:30,623 --> 00:15:33,456
Mr. Strock sent us over.
We're opening an account.
183
00:15:33,525 --> 00:15:36,926
My name is Rockford.
This is Miss Wade,
and she's opening the account.
184
00:15:36,996 --> 00:15:41,092
It's Nancy Wade. W-A-D-E.
185
00:15:44,336 --> 00:15:45,428
Everything all right?
186
00:15:45,871 --> 00:15:47,498
I'm not sure.
What's wrong?
187
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:49,507
You said you wanted
to open an account here.
188
00:15:49,575 --> 00:15:51,008
Yeah.
According to our records...
189
00:15:51,076 --> 00:15:54,512
you already have
an account here
with $300,000 in it.
190
00:15:54,580 --> 00:15:56,343
There must be some mistake.
191
00:15:56,415 --> 00:15:59,407
No. Not with the same
Social Security number. Look.
192
00:15:59,485 --> 00:16:04,320
I think we better call
the bank manager. Mrs. Trask,
get Mr. Stewart right away.
193
00:16:06,625 --> 00:16:08,320
Come on! Get in!
Get off me.
194
00:16:08,394 --> 00:16:11,022
Get in the car.
No, let go of me.
195
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:12,654
Let's go!
196
00:16:15,334 --> 00:16:16,767
[Tires screeching]
197
00:16:28,681 --> 00:16:31,582
I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I don't know
what's going on here.
198
00:16:32,484 --> 00:16:33,678
Neither do I.
199
00:16:33,752 --> 00:16:37,813
But I can assure you
that Miss Nancy Wade
has $300,000 on deposit here.
200
00:16:38,891 --> 00:16:43,385
Well, I'd like to deposit this
in her account
and have it notarized.
201
00:16:43,462 --> 00:16:46,625
Of course,
but we'll have to get her
to authorize it.
202
00:16:46,699 --> 00:16:49,691
What for?
Well, for the
banking commission...
203
00:16:49,768 --> 00:16:52,760
regulating board of governors,
half-a-dozen bank officers...
204
00:16:52,838 --> 00:16:53,896
but mostly for me.
205
00:16:53,973 --> 00:16:57,409
Because if I don't get her
signature for her power
of attorney, I get fired.
206
00:16:57,476 --> 00:17:00,775
I'm sorry. Believe me,
I'd like to accommodate you.
207
00:17:00,913 --> 00:17:02,938
She's a
very strange young lady.
208
00:17:03,015 --> 00:17:07,281
When somebody has $300,000
in the bank,
you don't call them strange.
209
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,888
What do you call them?
Eccentric.
210
00:19:17,516 --> 00:19:20,178
Operator, I'd like to place
a person-to-person
call, please...
211
00:19:20,252 --> 00:19:22,243
to Mr. Edward Moss...
212
00:19:22,321 --> 00:19:25,813
of the Western Mutual
Insurance Company
in Los Angeles, please.
213
00:19:30,362 --> 00:19:31,829
[Telephone beeping]
214
00:19:35,234 --> 00:19:37,532
Yes, Mr. Rockford.
215
00:19:38,270 --> 00:19:42,832
Yeah, Mr. Moss. I'm afraid
I have some
very distressing news for you.
216
00:19:43,008 --> 00:19:46,068
You've lost the check.
How did you know?
217
00:19:46,145 --> 00:19:49,171
Because it's the one thing
you could do
that would distress me.
218
00:19:49,248 --> 00:19:51,148
Well, I didn't really lose it.
219
00:19:51,216 --> 00:19:54,743
To tell the truth,
it was stolen. As a matter
of fact, I was attacked.
220
00:19:54,953 --> 00:19:57,979
That's comforting.
You did say you were bonded.
221
00:19:58,090 --> 00:20:00,718
Yeah, even if I don't get
the check back
222
00:20:00,792 --> 00:20:02,350
You're covered.
223
00:20:02,661 --> 00:20:04,151
Problem is...
224
00:20:04,229 --> 00:20:07,528
I'm running a little low
on cash. I wonder if you
could wire me a couple...
225
00:20:07,599 --> 00:20:08,691
That's out of the question.
226
00:20:08,767 --> 00:20:11,463
Mr. Moss, I don't think
you fully grasp the picture.
227
00:20:11,537 --> 00:20:14,631
Now my bonding company
will cover the check...
228
00:20:14,806 --> 00:20:16,433
and then they'll drop me.
229
00:20:16,508 --> 00:20:18,703
The word will get out.
I'll be out of the business.
230
00:20:18,777 --> 00:20:21,712
You were hired to find
Miss Wade
and give her the check.
231
00:20:21,780 --> 00:20:25,238
You've lost her and the check.
Until they're recovered...
232
00:20:25,317 --> 00:20:27,979
Western Mutual has
no obligation to pay you.
233
00:20:28,053 --> 00:20:31,045
Call me when this situation
has been corrected.
234
00:20:33,192 --> 00:20:34,181
[Dial tone]
235
00:20:49,741 --> 00:20:51,038
[Engine starting]
236
00:21:26,011 --> 00:21:27,603
I'll be damned.
237
00:22:57,569 --> 00:22:58,934
[Audience applauding]
238
00:23:22,260 --> 00:23:23,488
[People chattering]
239
00:23:29,968 --> 00:23:31,560
[Cutlery clattering]
240
00:23:51,857 --> 00:23:53,051
[Engine starting]
241
00:25:19,411 --> 00:25:21,572
Take the girl to the trailer.
Okay.
242
00:26:01,453 --> 00:26:03,421
Now, Ken,
don't you think
you're overreacting?
243
00:26:03,488 --> 00:26:05,820
How much time did you actually
have on those books?
244
00:26:05,891 --> 00:26:07,518
Long enough.
An hour and a half?
245
00:26:07,592 --> 00:26:09,992
With all those phone ringings
and interruptions.
246
00:26:10,061 --> 00:26:13,189
I wanted you here
because I wanted
to explain it to you.
247
00:26:13,265 --> 00:26:16,359
I understand
holding companies.
I understand cross collateral.
248
00:26:16,434 --> 00:26:18,493
And I understand your books,
Mr. Robertson.
249
00:26:18,570 --> 00:26:21,767
Ken, you're making a mistake,
a very big mistake.
250
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,071
No, I made that
when I associated myself
with you.
251
00:26:25,143 --> 00:26:28,112
We have nothing more
to discuss.
All right.
252
00:26:28,914 --> 00:26:29,903
[Car engine starts]
253
00:26:30,749 --> 00:26:31,841
Bye.
254
00:27:53,498 --> 00:27:54,658
This is Robertson.
255
00:27:54,733 --> 00:27:56,496
(Rockford)
Bring the girl to the house.
256
00:27:56,968 --> 00:28:01,302
Okay. Come on. I said come on!
257
00:28:17,322 --> 00:28:19,882
Darn! I do
that every time. Come on.
258
00:28:23,528 --> 00:28:24,927
[Horse neighing]
259
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,074
Hey! You!
Come on!
260
00:28:39,144 --> 00:28:40,133
[Gun firing]
261
00:28:46,484 --> 00:28:47,917
[Tires screeching]
262
00:29:12,410 --> 00:29:13,399
[Tires screeching]
263
00:30:37,529 --> 00:30:39,463
Terrific.
264
00:30:53,443 --> 00:30:57,573
This is a good out-of-the-way
place. They'll never
find us here.
265
00:30:59,850 --> 00:31:02,717
What are you looking out
there for? We lost them.
266
00:31:02,786 --> 00:31:06,051
I didn't think things could
get any worse. Why didn't you
stay out of it?
267
00:31:06,123 --> 00:31:08,648
You didn't bother to ask me
if I wanted to go with you.
268
00:31:08,725 --> 00:31:11,888
It never occurred to me.
I could have handled it.
269
00:31:11,962 --> 00:31:14,055
I could've promised
that I wouldn't make trouble.
270
00:31:14,131 --> 00:31:16,565
But then you come charging in
like this...
271
00:31:16,633 --> 00:31:18,999
Why are you eating?
I'm hungry.
272
00:31:21,171 --> 00:31:24,800
You don't understand, do you?
You don't know
how much trouble you're in.
273
00:31:24,875 --> 00:31:29,539
I have been shot at,
hit over the head,
robbed of $10,000.
274
00:31:29,613 --> 00:31:33,572
Incredible as it may seem,
all by myself I figured out
I was in a little trouble.
275
00:31:33,650 --> 00:31:34,810
Now I'd like to know why.
276
00:31:34,885 --> 00:31:38,150
What does it take to
get through to you? I want you
to leave me alone.
277
00:31:38,222 --> 00:31:39,780
Not until you tell me
what's going on.
278
00:31:39,857 --> 00:31:41,154
No!
Yes.
279
00:31:44,161 --> 00:31:48,029
And that's the only way
you stand a chance
of getting rid of me.
280
00:31:52,669 --> 00:31:53,658
[Sighs]
281
00:31:58,275 --> 00:31:59,640
All right.
282
00:32:00,878 --> 00:32:04,678
I was sick of working
in dives,
singing for drunks...
283
00:32:04,748 --> 00:32:06,613
scratching for the rent money.
284
00:32:06,683 --> 00:32:10,517
About six months ago, I
was working in a club
in Lexington, Kentucky.
285
00:32:10,587 --> 00:32:15,024
And a man named Robertson
walked in, and he said
he thought I had talent.
286
00:32:15,092 --> 00:32:17,720
And he wanted to back me.
You jumped at the chance?
287
00:32:17,794 --> 00:32:19,193
You bet I did.
288
00:32:19,263 --> 00:32:21,163
Haven't you ever wanted
something so much...
289
00:32:21,231 --> 00:32:23,859
that you didn't care
how you got it? Haven't you?
290
00:32:26,403 --> 00:32:29,930
I signed a lot of contracts
with this record company...
291
00:32:30,007 --> 00:32:33,534
Focus Records,
power of attorney,
personal management.
292
00:32:33,610 --> 00:32:35,271
He brought me out here
to Las Vegas.
293
00:32:35,345 --> 00:32:38,678
I've been making more money
than I ever saw
in my whole life...
294
00:32:38,749 --> 00:32:40,740
$200 a week.
295
00:32:40,817 --> 00:32:44,150
$200 a week
for a Vegas lounge act?
296
00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:46,783
You got to be making
more than that.
297
00:32:46,857 --> 00:32:49,291
$200 is all I see.
298
00:32:49,726 --> 00:32:52,718
According to Mr. Robertson's
private ledgers...
299
00:32:52,796 --> 00:32:56,892
I am making $25,000
a week at the lounge...
300
00:32:56,967 --> 00:32:59,902
and $20,000
from the record company.
301
00:33:00,137 --> 00:33:03,334
When did you find that out?
About ten days ago.
302
00:33:03,473 --> 00:33:05,498
He has a new secretary.
303
00:33:06,143 --> 00:33:09,635
And she and I became sort
of friendly and she told me
about these ledgers...
304
00:33:09,713 --> 00:33:12,648
that he keeps
in an antique cabinet
in his office.
305
00:33:12,716 --> 00:33:15,184
She saw them and she told me.
306
00:33:15,619 --> 00:33:17,814
It sounds like
you've been taking
in laundry...
307
00:33:17,888 --> 00:33:20,857
which accounts
for the $300,000 in the bank.
308
00:33:21,124 --> 00:33:22,955
It's syndicate money.
309
00:33:23,026 --> 00:33:26,223
They've been using me
to channel it into
legitimate business fronts.
310
00:33:26,296 --> 00:33:28,355
I didn't even know.
When you found that out...
311
00:33:28,432 --> 00:33:31,265
you shouldn't have
tried to run. You should've
gone to the cops.
312
00:33:31,335 --> 00:33:34,634
I couldn't!
If I went to the police...
313
00:33:34,705 --> 00:33:37,367
then the
Internal Revenue Service
would start checking.
314
00:33:37,441 --> 00:33:40,933
I don't have any proof
against anybody. All the money
is in my name.
315
00:33:41,011 --> 00:33:44,139
I would be the one
to go to jail. Now don't you
see what you've done?
316
00:33:44,214 --> 00:33:45,772
What I've done?
317
00:33:46,783 --> 00:33:51,186
I was gonna talk to
Mr. Robertson and promise him
I wouldn't say anything...
318
00:33:51,254 --> 00:33:54,382
if he would give me back
my contract and let me go.
319
00:33:54,458 --> 00:33:57,120
Nancy, you don't walk away
from men like Robertson.
320
00:33:57,194 --> 00:34:00,061
Once you're in, you're in.
Or you're dead.
321
00:34:02,599 --> 00:34:05,090
There must be something
I could do.
322
00:34:05,268 --> 00:34:07,498
Not without bargaining power.
323
00:34:14,044 --> 00:34:16,774
Who's this
Mr. Mamoto or Mamato?
324
00:34:18,148 --> 00:34:22,175
He represents a
Japanese company,
Audiometrics.
325
00:34:22,252 --> 00:34:23,844
You know
where we can find him?
326
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,980
I went to a party at his house
a couple of weeks ago. Why?
327
00:34:27,057 --> 00:34:29,651
Well, he doesn't like
Mr. Robertson's bookkeeping,
either.
328
00:34:29,726 --> 00:34:32,217
Now, you got everything
you need here?
329
00:34:32,295 --> 00:34:34,456
Don't open the door.
Don't look out the window.
330
00:34:34,531 --> 00:34:36,522
I'll pick you up
in the morning.
331
00:35:01,491 --> 00:35:04,983
I don't know.
I'm not a citizen
of this country.
332
00:35:05,629 --> 00:35:08,860
What you're proposing,
breaking and entering,
burglary.
333
00:35:08,932 --> 00:35:10,832
No, I'll be doing
all those things.
334
00:35:10,901 --> 00:35:13,802
What I'm asking you to do
is perfectly legitimate.
335
00:35:13,870 --> 00:35:14,894
Nice try.
336
00:35:14,971 --> 00:35:17,963
You looked at Robertson's
phonied-up books once before.
337
00:35:18,041 --> 00:35:21,636
What's wrong with asking
for an appointment
to look at them again?
338
00:35:21,711 --> 00:35:25,374
Because while I'm looking
at them, you'll be trying
to steal the real ledgers...
339
00:35:25,449 --> 00:35:28,577
making me an accessory
to a whole series of crimes.
340
00:35:28,652 --> 00:35:33,021
Miss Wade.
Mr. Mamato, I'm out $10,000.
341
00:35:33,090 --> 00:35:34,114
Is that all?
342
00:35:34,191 --> 00:35:37,922
Well, it may not seem
like too much to the
high rollers, but to me...
343
00:35:37,994 --> 00:35:40,827
it'd put me outta business.
If I can get my hands
on the books...
344
00:35:40,897 --> 00:35:42,922
I can do some horse trading,
get my check back.
345
00:35:42,999 --> 00:35:44,398
What about my contract?
346
00:35:44,468 --> 00:35:46,163
I'm not unsympathetic,
Mr. Rockford...
347
00:35:46,236 --> 00:35:48,227
but $10,000 doesn't seem
like much...
348
00:35:48,305 --> 00:35:50,603
when you're worried
about three-quarters
of a million.
349
00:35:50,674 --> 00:35:52,505
That's how much
Robertson took you for?
350
00:35:52,576 --> 00:35:55,568
I can't tell from the books
that he showed me.
351
00:35:56,079 --> 00:35:58,809
Audiometric manufactures
audio cassettes and players.
352
00:35:58,882 --> 00:36:02,477
For the past year, year and
a half, we've been getting
into the album market.
353
00:36:02,552 --> 00:36:06,010
And very quietly,
we've been buying
into Focus Records.
354
00:36:06,456 --> 00:36:10,222
And now you're wondering what
you bought for three-quarters
of a million dollars.
355
00:36:10,293 --> 00:36:11,692
(Mr. Mamato)
Exactly.
356
00:36:11,995 --> 00:36:15,192
I'd like to have a look
at those private ledgers.
357
00:36:15,932 --> 00:36:18,127
I have quite
an investment at stake.
358
00:36:18,201 --> 00:36:20,226
So have I.
So have I.
359
00:36:20,303 --> 00:36:22,601
You both keep talking
about money.
360
00:36:22,672 --> 00:36:26,768
What about me? What about
my contract? Don't you care
about people?
361
00:36:26,843 --> 00:36:29,471
I didn't forget
about your contract.
You didn't mention it.
362
00:36:29,546 --> 00:36:31,810
I didn't forget about it.
Just don't worry about it.
363
00:36:31,882 --> 00:36:33,782
Does that mean
you're gonna take care of it?
364
00:36:33,850 --> 00:36:35,317
Yes.
How?
365
00:36:38,522 --> 00:36:40,888
Just one thing at a time.
366
00:36:49,866 --> 00:36:51,925
Ken, it's good to see you.
367
00:36:52,169 --> 00:36:54,160
All right. Keep looking.
I want you to find her.
368
00:36:54,237 --> 00:36:56,034
I want you
to find both of them.
369
00:36:56,106 --> 00:36:57,733
I'm glad you came.
How are you?
370
00:36:57,807 --> 00:36:59,798
Fine. How's everything
with you, Tom?
371
00:36:59,876 --> 00:37:02,902
Just fine.
I'm glad you thought it over.
372
00:37:03,980 --> 00:37:07,416
Look, this time
no phones, no interruptions.
373
00:37:07,484 --> 00:37:09,918
If I have any questions,
you'll be there
to answer them.
374
00:37:09,986 --> 00:37:12,284
Absolutely. I will be
there every minute...
375
00:37:12,355 --> 00:37:15,051
and when you look
at those books,
you're gonna be surprised.
376
00:37:42,018 --> 00:37:45,476
Ken, once we get these
records straight, you'll
realize this was a mistake.
377
00:37:45,555 --> 00:37:48,023
We'll see.
I'm telling you...
378
00:39:09,739 --> 00:39:10,899
[rattling]
379
00:39:11,207 --> 00:39:14,404
What was that?
I'll be right back, Ken.
380
00:39:14,944 --> 00:39:17,674
Wait a minute, Tom.
What's the matter?
381
00:39:18,114 --> 00:39:20,582
You were going to give me
some answers.
Right.
382
00:39:20,650 --> 00:39:24,017
I'd like one now.
What are you talking
about, Ken?
383
00:39:24,087 --> 00:39:26,248
Talk To Me was on the charts
for ten months.
384
00:39:26,323 --> 00:39:28,257
It got a lot of play,
and I know it sold.
385
00:39:28,325 --> 00:39:30,850
But according to your books,
it never got off the ground.
386
00:39:30,927 --> 00:39:32,394
Would you mind
explaining that?
387
00:39:32,462 --> 00:39:35,522
Come on,
those are probably
just preliminary figures.
388
00:39:38,134 --> 00:39:40,602
All right.
I'll have a look. Okay?
389
00:39:41,204 --> 00:39:42,694
There you go.
390
00:40:07,863 --> 00:40:11,594
I got a fast 20 minutes
for lunch, and you're
not helping my appetite much.
391
00:40:11,667 --> 00:40:13,430
I'm giving you a chance
to be a hero.
392
00:40:13,502 --> 00:40:16,767
I work for the U.S.
District Attorney's office,
not a swap meet.
393
00:40:17,206 --> 00:40:19,037
Okay. Look.
394
00:40:19,108 --> 00:40:23,602
I'm giving you enough
information to put Robertson
away for a long time...
395
00:40:23,679 --> 00:40:25,806
and I get out from under.
What's wrong with that?
396
00:40:25,881 --> 00:40:29,009
What's wrong with it is you
can be arrested
on a half-a-dozen charges.
397
00:40:29,084 --> 00:40:32,520
Those are serious felonies.
Look, Mr. Hanzer...
398
00:40:32,888 --> 00:40:35,356
the bottom line is
I'm not gonna do 10 years...
399
00:40:35,424 --> 00:40:37,415
and I'm not gonna get
myself killed. Okay?
400
00:40:37,493 --> 00:40:40,587
No, it's not okay. Chilidog.
Make it two.
401
00:40:40,662 --> 00:40:44,496
I'm sorry, I couldn't do it
by the book. That's just
the way it went.
402
00:40:44,566 --> 00:40:47,160
Rockford, you can't take
the law
into your own hands.
403
00:40:47,236 --> 00:40:49,500
I didn't like
the alternatives.
404
00:40:49,571 --> 00:40:51,630
What does it take
to get you moving, anyway?
405
00:40:51,707 --> 00:40:54,642
Somebody got to splatter
my brains all over the street?
406
00:40:54,710 --> 00:40:57,338
All right,
let's say it happens that way.
407
00:40:57,413 --> 00:40:59,244
Let's say it doesn't.
408
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:02,680
Just wire me for sound,
and we'll agree
on a code word.
409
00:41:02,751 --> 00:41:05,276
Let's say, "Geronimo."
410
00:41:05,354 --> 00:41:07,720
How are you gonna work that
into a conversation?
411
00:41:07,790 --> 00:41:12,454
How the hell do I know?
I'm gonna deal with
or without your help.
412
00:41:12,661 --> 00:41:14,185
With it, you get Robertson.
413
00:41:14,263 --> 00:41:17,164
Without it, I still get
my $10,000. It's up to you.
414
00:41:17,232 --> 00:41:21,225
Either way, I deal.
I don't know.
415
00:41:22,604 --> 00:41:25,437
Don't worry, pal.
We'll make it work out.
416
00:41:34,216 --> 00:41:35,547
[Telephone ringing]
417
00:41:36,318 --> 00:41:39,378
Yeah. I'll take it.
418
00:41:44,493 --> 00:41:45,619
Mr. Rockford.
419
00:41:45,694 --> 00:41:48,561
Yeah, I'm sorry
about the bookcase.
420
00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:51,827
You mind telling me
what you're doing, besides
getting yourself killed?
421
00:41:51,900 --> 00:41:54,494
You don't want
to scare me, Mr. Robertson.
422
00:41:54,570 --> 00:41:57,038
I'm liable to turn your books
over to the cops.
423
00:41:57,105 --> 00:41:58,538
Do you still have the books?
424
00:41:58,607 --> 00:41:59,869
You still got my wallet?
425
00:41:59,942 --> 00:42:01,534
Okay. What is it you're after?
426
00:42:01,610 --> 00:42:04,704
You certainly didn't
get involved in all this
for 10 grand, did you?
427
00:42:04,780 --> 00:42:06,441
I would have done it for five.
428
00:42:06,515 --> 00:42:09,177
I'm a businessman.
I'd still like to stay
in business.
429
00:42:09,251 --> 00:42:12,812
Now I could keep those books
and bleed you dry.
430
00:42:12,888 --> 00:42:15,413
But, then, blackmail has a way
of turning nasty.
431
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:18,790
So I have what I think
is a fair proposition.
Like what?
432
00:42:18,861 --> 00:42:22,388
I give you the books.
You give me my check
and my wallet.
433
00:42:22,464 --> 00:42:24,022
And that's it?
That's it.
434
00:42:24,099 --> 00:42:28,160
And if you still have those
two gorillas looking for me,
put them back in their cage.
435
00:42:28,237 --> 00:42:30,899
What guarantee do I have
that you won't bring
the cops in?
436
00:42:30,973 --> 00:42:34,773
You pick the place for
the exchange. I come alone.
You come alone.
437
00:42:34,843 --> 00:42:35,969
Okay.
438
00:42:36,345 --> 00:42:37,539
All right.
439
00:42:37,613 --> 00:42:39,808
You got yourself a deal.
Where?
440
00:42:39,882 --> 00:42:41,247
Just a little quiet place...
441
00:42:41,316 --> 00:42:44,717
where you and me can have
a private business dealing.
442
00:43:52,688 --> 00:43:56,920
I got my check. You got
your books. They are
your books, aren't they?
443
00:43:56,992 --> 00:43:59,460
You ought to know.
You stole them.
444
00:44:00,262 --> 00:44:04,631
Everybody's happy,
except Geronimo.
445
00:44:05,100 --> 00:44:06,897
Not quite, Rockford.
446
00:44:10,739 --> 00:44:12,331
I want the girl.
447
00:44:12,641 --> 00:44:15,701
I don't know where she is.
I don't believe you.
448
00:44:16,311 --> 00:44:18,871
You wanted your books,
you got them.
449
00:44:19,281 --> 00:44:22,114
Even Geronimo would say
that's a fair deal.
450
00:44:22,718 --> 00:44:24,811
What?
You got your books.
451
00:44:26,555 --> 00:44:29,023
Look, Rockford.
The girl could hurt me.
452
00:44:29,091 --> 00:44:31,252
She wasn't part of our deal.
453
00:44:31,426 --> 00:44:32,791
[Car door opening]
454
00:44:36,598 --> 00:44:40,534
Hey, you said
you were coming alone.
I lied.
455
00:44:41,470 --> 00:44:43,404
I want Nancy Wade.
456
00:44:43,472 --> 00:44:46,839
Either you give her to me,
or you're dead.
457
00:44:53,715 --> 00:44:56,240
Since you put it that way.
458
00:44:56,718 --> 00:44:58,015
Geronimo!
459
00:45:00,422 --> 00:45:01,650
[Car tires screeching]
460
00:45:02,157 --> 00:45:04,022
Behind you.
Police!
461
00:45:04,593 --> 00:45:06,959
What did you do? Drop your guns!
Go stone deaf?
462
00:45:07,029 --> 00:45:09,998
We got here, didn't we?
I'll get Robertson.
463
00:45:38,593 --> 00:45:39,582
[Panting]
464
00:46:58,507 --> 00:46:59,531
[Panting]
465
00:46:59,608 --> 00:47:00,870
Got you.
466
00:47:31,473 --> 00:47:33,703
He said he was gonna be here.
467
00:47:34,009 --> 00:47:37,638
I hope he didn't leave
and go home.
Relax, will you?
468
00:47:38,246 --> 00:47:40,077
You've just got out
of one contract.
469
00:47:40,215 --> 00:47:42,342
Don't be in such a hurry
to sign another one.
470
00:47:42,417 --> 00:47:45,818
I'm a little impulsive,
I guess.
Yeah, I guess.
471
00:47:45,887 --> 00:47:47,377
(Mr. Mamato)
Nancy, Jim.
472
00:47:48,590 --> 00:47:49,989
[People chattering]
473
00:47:51,693 --> 00:47:53,354
Sit down, please.
474
00:47:59,901 --> 00:48:01,835
Hi.
Hi.
475
00:48:03,004 --> 00:48:04,869
Hi.
Listen, Nancy.
476
00:48:05,106 --> 00:48:07,597
I know it's a little soon
to be talking
about a new deal...
477
00:48:07,676 --> 00:48:10,839
but the Focus Recording
Company in Japan would
like to sign you.
478
00:48:10,912 --> 00:48:13,380
Really?
Really.
479
00:48:14,082 --> 00:48:16,676
Look, I haven't got the
whole deal roughed out yet...
480
00:48:16,751 --> 00:48:18,275
but it's gonna be
something like this.
481
00:48:18,353 --> 00:48:21,880
We'll give you $50,000
in guaranteed trade promotion.
482
00:48:21,957 --> 00:48:26,291
We'll have your picture beat
around to every rack jobber
and one stop in the business.
483
00:48:26,361 --> 00:48:29,626
And you'll get a 7% deal
on a 100% of retail.
484
00:48:29,698 --> 00:48:30,722
Really?
485
00:48:30,799 --> 00:48:33,267
And we should probably start
with a five-year term deal...
486
00:48:33,335 --> 00:48:36,202
with annual option clauses.
Hey, hold it.
487
00:48:36,905 --> 00:48:39,567
I don't want to be a killjoy,
but what's the hurry?
488
00:48:39,641 --> 00:48:41,871
Jim, this doesn't concern you.
489
00:48:42,444 --> 00:48:44,002
It's between Nancy and me.
490
00:48:44,079 --> 00:48:47,276
Hey, why don't you go take
a dip in the pool?
491
00:48:47,349 --> 00:48:48,441
No offense.
492
00:48:48,516 --> 00:48:51,383
Why don't you go soak
your head? No offense.
493
00:48:51,453 --> 00:48:54,354
Now we've only known you
a fast 18 hours.
494
00:48:54,422 --> 00:48:57,448
You may be the Jack the Ripper
of the record business.
495
00:48:57,525 --> 00:49:00,722
A five-year contract
with annual renewal clauses.
496
00:49:00,795 --> 00:49:03,593
What kind of a chicken deal
is that?
497
00:49:03,665 --> 00:49:05,132
Hey, bug off.
498
00:49:06,701 --> 00:49:10,831
Nancy, do yourself a favor,
hon. Go slowly.
499
00:49:12,841 --> 00:49:14,832
I know you mean well, Jim.
500
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:18,004
And I know you really want
to do what's best for me.
501
00:49:18,747 --> 00:49:20,305
But bug off.
502
00:49:20,382 --> 00:49:21,371
[Chuckles]
503
00:49:23,618 --> 00:49:25,017
No offense.
504
00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:28,715
Yeah.
