They were
trying to steal it.

that's blackmail.

it got up to 85 degrees
in the City of Industry,

I just haven't
had a chance.
107

Well, what I want you
to do for me is to act
as my purchasing agent.
108
00:08:15,728 --> 00:08:17,821
It's a relatively simple
assignment.

you'll have any trouble.

She's beautiful,
isn't she?
111
00:08:22,702 --> 00:08:24,135
Hmm? Yeah, yeah.
112
00:08:24,504 --> 00:08:26,597
I bought her
from a private collector
113
00:08:26,672 --> 00:08:28,902
in Denver yesterday afternoon.
114
00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:33,438
Christian Moreau did that
in his African period.
115
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,973
There were 18 of those
originally.
116
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:40,050
Some experts think
that there were 24,
117
00:08:40,119 --> 00:08:42,383
but he was only
in his African period
for 17 months
118
00:08:42,455 --> 00:08:44,923
and I know how slowly
he worked.
119
00:08:45,591 --> 00:08:49,550
So 24 is out of the question.
18, maybe 19.
120
00:08:51,831 --> 00:08:53,662
He was a funny man.
121
00:08:55,001 --> 00:08:56,901
Sometimes he gave those away.
122
00:08:58,271 --> 00:08:59,499
To his models.
123
00:09:00,306 --> 00:09:02,638
He drank too much.
It killed him.
124
00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:04,972
That's too bad.
I'm sorry to hear that.
125
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,375
You said you wanted
a purchasing agent.
126
00:09:09,448 --> 00:09:11,939
Mr. Caine,
I don't do clerical work.
127
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:17,849
There's an auction
at the Campbell Gallery
on Melrose this morning.
128
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,722
Are you familiar with it?
129
00:09:19,926 --> 00:09:21,120
Oh, no, no.
130
00:09:22,128 --> 00:09:23,527
You're not
an art lover?
131
00:09:24,363 --> 00:09:26,331
Well, let's just say
132
00:09:26,599 --> 00:09:29,966
that I've let
my interests wander
in other directions lately.
133
00:09:30,036 --> 00:09:31,162
Too bad.
134
00:09:31,237 --> 00:09:35,230
There is a cormorant,
that's a sculpted bird,
135
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:38,700
that's being auctioned
at the Campbell Gallery
this morning.
136
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:41,712
Now, most people think
that it is a duplicate
137
00:09:42,114 --> 00:09:44,173
which was made for
the Glovester collection,
138
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,810
and who knows? It may
very well be a duplicate.
139
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:49,781
But I was
in Madrid last week
140
00:09:49,855 --> 00:09:52,085
and the curator
of the Madrid Institute
141
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:56,987
thinks that it might
be one of the three
original Lambrini cormorants.
142
00:09:57,930 --> 00:10:02,162
So I thought I would gamble
10 or 12,000 and buy it
and check it out.
143
00:10:03,436 --> 00:10:08,169
10 or 12,000 whats?
Are we talking about pesos
or francs or something? What?
144
00:10:08,708 --> 00:10:10,005
American dollars.
145
00:10:12,211 --> 00:10:13,701
Oh, okay.
146
00:10:14,246 --> 00:10:16,737
But why me, Mr. Caine?
Why not go yourself?
147
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:21,678
Yes. Well, I'm a fairly
well-known art speculator.
148
00:10:21,988 --> 00:10:24,957
If I were to turn up
at the auction and start
bidding on the damn thing,
149
00:10:25,024 --> 00:10:27,652
the price would
go through the roof
simply because I was there.
150
00:10:28,861 --> 00:10:32,262
I normally use Terry Fielder
to buy for me in L.A.,
151
00:10:32,565 --> 00:10:34,362
but he's in Europe this month.
152
00:10:34,867 --> 00:10:36,164
Do you know Terry?
153
00:10:36,535 --> 00:10:37,729
No.
154
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:44,573
Well, I have written out
a blank check
to the Campbell Gallery.
155
00:10:44,644 --> 00:10:48,808
Now, if the price should go
over $12,000, you let it go.
156
00:10:49,649 --> 00:10:52,516
I will pay you
your $200 fee.
157
00:10:53,085 --> 00:10:56,714
The whole thing should take
about an hour and a half
including driving time.
158
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,218
Are you interested?
159
00:10:58,290 --> 00:10:59,757
I don't know, Mr. Caine.
160
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,894
Well, it seems
the risk is all mine.
161
00:11:04,530 --> 00:11:07,556
Okay. I'll do it
under two conditions.
162
00:11:08,334 --> 00:11:10,427
You give me $100 in advance.
163
00:11:13,739 --> 00:11:14,797
And?
164
00:11:14,874 --> 00:11:18,105
And you tell me
where I can find
Howard Coleman.
165
00:11:19,445 --> 00:11:20,469
He's in Prague.
166
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:22,771
Czechoslovakia?
167
00:11:23,916 --> 00:11:26,384
I'm afraid you'll have to
wait for your fee
for a while.
168
00:11:28,254 --> 00:11:31,621
Okay, Mr. Caine,
I'll pick up
your bird for you.
169
00:11:32,458 --> 00:11:37,054
Fine. Oh, by the way,
the address of the gallery
is on the envelope.
170
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:39,130
I'll be waiting right here.

00:11:39,598 --> 00:11:40,656

00:11:50,976 --> 00:11:53,069
by the great Jacopo Lambrini.
175
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,877
In the early 1800s,the Lambrini estatein Verona burned
176
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,477
and the priceless originalswere never found.
177
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:05,455
In 1812,Lambrini's grandson sculpted
178
00:12:05,524 --> 00:12:07,048
the Lambrini duplicates.
179
00:12:07,526 --> 00:12:09,687
In themselves great works.
180
00:12:09,862 --> 00:12:13,457
A minimum bid has beenset at $5,000.
181
00:12:20,606 --> 00:12:22,233
Do I hear $5,500?
182
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,138
$6,000?
183
00:12:30,816 --> 00:12:32,113
Do I hear $6,500?
184
00:12:32,184 --> 00:12:33,344
$6,500.
185
00:12:33,552 --> 00:12:34,746
Do I hear $7,000?
186
00:12:36,989 --> 00:12:38,149
$7,500?
187
00:12:48,067 --> 00:12:49,125
$8,000?
188
00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:54,399
$8,500?
189
00:13:00,846 --> 00:13:02,211
$9,000?
190
00:13:02,581 --> 00:13:03,741
$9,000.
191
00:13:05,985 --> 00:13:07,350
$9,500.
192
00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:10,449
$10,000.
193
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,683
$11,000.
194
00:13:11,757 --> 00:13:13,349
(ALL CHATTERING)
195
00:13:15,227 --> 00:13:18,856
$11,000 once. $11,000 twice.
196
00:13:20,466 --> 00:13:22,093
Sold to the gentleman.
197
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:36,703
Excuse me.
198
00:13:36,780 --> 00:13:37,804
Oh, hi.
199
00:13:37,881 --> 00:13:38,848
May I?
200
00:13:38,916 --> 00:13:40,543
Oh, sure, sure.
201
00:13:44,154 --> 00:13:48,181
It's a hen, I think.
Of course, with cormorants
it's hard to tell.
202
00:13:49,092 --> 00:13:50,286
Beg your pardon?
203
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,453
Joke. That's a little joke.
204
00:13:53,230 --> 00:13:54,788
Oh, of course.
205
00:13:55,365 --> 00:13:58,198
It's just that I hadn't
expected anyone else
to bid so high.
206
00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:00,202
I didn't bring
a large enough check.
207
00:14:01,305 --> 00:14:03,102
Are you with
one of the local galleries?
208
00:14:03,307 --> 00:14:05,366
Oh, my name is Jim Rockford.
209
00:14:05,442 --> 00:14:08,639
I took Terry Fielder's job.
He's in Europe.
210
00:14:09,313 --> 00:14:11,144
Yes. Prague, I think.
211
00:14:12,115 --> 00:14:13,582
I'm Evelyn Stoneman.
212
00:14:14,518 --> 00:14:16,918
Terry got very interested
in Gustav Kruger.
213
00:14:17,087 --> 00:14:20,079
Personally, I think his
earlier work was magnificent,
214
00:14:20,157 --> 00:14:23,354
but lately he's been
turning out absolute rubbish.
215
00:14:23,627 --> 00:14:26,960
But I suppose if you're
with Terry, you have
a preference for Kruger, too.
216
00:14:27,764 --> 00:14:29,356
Not necessarily, no.
217
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,665
What is your field of study,
Mr. Rockford?
218
00:14:32,202 --> 00:14:33,726
Oh, well...
219
00:14:34,838 --> 00:14:36,601
I like Moreau.
220
00:14:36,707 --> 00:14:41,701
Particularly, the things
he did in the African period.
221
00:14:41,945 --> 00:14:45,312
Oh, I see.
Which theory do you support?
222
00:14:46,416 --> 00:14:48,008
Well...
223
00:14:49,453 --> 00:14:53,219
I think 18,
19 at the most.
224
00:14:53,824 --> 00:14:55,883
I think 24 is just
out of the question.
225
00:14:56,994 --> 00:14:59,861
Well, you see,
I know how slowly he worked
226
00:14:59,997 --> 00:15:03,091
and I just don't think
he could have ever done 24.
227
00:15:04,935 --> 00:15:07,426
However, if he worked late
228
00:15:07,504 --> 00:15:10,905
and, you know,
worked like a little beaver,
229
00:15:10,974 --> 00:15:14,034
he might have
turned out 20, 21.
230
00:15:14,711 --> 00:15:19,171
Who knows? He might
even have done 24. Could I
have my bird back, please?
231
00:15:19,950 --> 00:15:23,784
I've written five papers
supporting the 24 theory.
232
00:15:24,087 --> 00:15:25,577
But, of course,
you knew that.
233
00:15:25,789 --> 00:15:27,051
Oh, of course, of course.
234
00:15:27,124 --> 00:15:28,751
I was just fooling.
235
00:15:32,362 --> 00:15:33,795
Mr. Rockford.
Hmm?
236
00:15:34,431 --> 00:15:36,661
I suppose you're
a very entertaining gentleman
237
00:15:36,733 --> 00:15:38,530
and I'm a little bit
off my game.
238
00:15:38,602 --> 00:15:42,094
You see, I was sent down here
on an airplane from Canada
239
00:15:42,205 --> 00:15:44,867
where I was buying paintings
for the National Gallery.
240
00:15:45,208 --> 00:15:47,574
Now, the curators
from the gallery
241
00:15:47,644 --> 00:15:49,544
were horrified to learn
that one of the cormorants
242
00:15:49,613 --> 00:15:52,673
was shipped out of England.
They expected me to buy it.
243
00:15:52,883 --> 00:15:55,249
I'm afraid they'll be
quite put off with me.
244
00:15:55,719 --> 00:15:59,177
Well, do you think
this is one of the originals?
245
00:15:59,556 --> 00:16:01,854
Oh, I don't have
the foggiest,
246
00:16:01,925 --> 00:16:04,155
but that is part
of the Glovester collection
247
00:16:04,528 --> 00:16:07,759
and the entire collection
was promised
to the National Gallery.
248
00:16:07,998 --> 00:16:09,488
We want to preserve it intact.
249
00:16:10,167 --> 00:16:11,794
Well, I'm sorry, but...
250
00:16:11,868 --> 00:16:13,392
Oh, give me half an hour
251
00:16:13,470 --> 00:16:16,200
and I'll cable London
for additional funds.
252
00:16:16,273 --> 00:16:17,934
I'll pay you $15,000.
253
00:16:18,008 --> 00:16:20,568
Well, I can't. I'm acting
for someone else.
254
00:16:20,644 --> 00:16:23,112
Maybe he would consider it.
Who is it?
255
00:16:24,514 --> 00:16:28,678
Well, do you have a card?
If he's interested,
I'll have him call you.
256
00:16:30,153 --> 00:16:31,711
Where are you staying?
257
00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:33,312
At the Hilton.
258
00:17:32,215 --> 00:17:33,375
Let's get out of here.
259
00:17:35,318 --> 00:17:36,580
(MOANING)
260
00:18:02,479 --> 00:18:04,777
Why? Why did they break it?
261
00:18:04,948 --> 00:18:06,506
They were
trying to steal it.
262
00:18:06,917 --> 00:18:10,409
Well, you shouldn't have
fought them. It's much better
to let them have it
263
00:18:10,487 --> 00:18:11,476
than to break it.
264
00:18:11,555 --> 00:18:14,752
Look, honey,
it is my business
what I do or don't do.
265
00:18:15,058 --> 00:18:18,084
Of course. I'm sorry,
I wasn't thinking.
266
00:18:18,161 --> 00:18:19,594
Yeah, well, forget it.
267
00:18:19,663 --> 00:18:23,155
Hey, look, I may need
a statement from you
268
00:18:24,167 --> 00:18:26,067
for my bonding company
about this.
269
00:18:26,536 --> 00:18:29,164
Bonding company?
Why on earth would you
have a bonding company?
270
00:18:29,239 --> 00:18:31,104
Yeah, well,
in a day or two,
I may not.
271
00:18:31,174 --> 00:18:32,505
Do you want us
to call the police, sir?
272
00:18:32,576 --> 00:18:33,804
ROCKFORD: No, no police.
273
00:18:33,877 --> 00:18:36,641
They may be copies,
but they're
still irreplaceable.
274
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,071
I think you should
inform the police.
275
00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:41,412
"They?"
276
00:18:41,485 --> 00:18:43,282
Yes, "they,"
the three of them.
277
00:18:44,221 --> 00:18:45,654
You didn't know that?
278
00:18:46,790 --> 00:18:48,314
Of course I knew that.
279
00:18:51,895 --> 00:18:54,989
Who are you?
You don't work for Terry.
280
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,561
All right, Miss Stoneman,
you're right.
I don't work for Terry.
281
00:19:00,637 --> 00:19:02,901
I'll even go you one better.
I don't even know Terry.
282
00:19:02,973 --> 00:19:04,838
But anybody who'd go
all the way to Prague
283
00:19:04,908 --> 00:19:06,967
to look up a no-talent
like Gustav Kruger
284
00:19:07,043 --> 00:19:08,635
can't be worth working for.
285
00:19:10,780 --> 00:19:11,838
Excuse me.
286
00:20:02,399 --> 00:20:05,300
Well, Miss Stoneman,
if this place wasn't
so close to my gallery
287
00:20:05,368 --> 00:20:06,926
and I didn't have
something else on my mind,
288
00:20:07,003 --> 00:20:08,800
you'd never have gotten
away with tailing me.
289
00:20:08,872 --> 00:20:10,203
Can I help you folks?
290
00:20:10,273 --> 00:20:11,831
Oh, just visiting friends.
291
00:20:12,008 --> 00:20:13,805
Oh, well, this suite is empty.
292
00:20:15,679 --> 00:20:17,374
Mr. Caine has checked out?
293
00:20:17,447 --> 00:20:20,007
Caine? Are you working
for Thomas Caine?
294
00:20:20,083 --> 00:20:24,042
Sir, I run this place. I can
assure you this suite has
been empty for several days.
295
00:20:24,354 --> 00:20:26,447
Well, now, wait a minute.
Let's start all over again.
296
00:20:26,523 --> 00:20:29,356
This is Number 12.
My name is Jim Rockford.
297
00:20:29,593 --> 00:20:32,494
A man named Thomas Caine
called me from here
298
00:20:32,929 --> 00:20:34,920
and then I had a meeting
in there
299
00:20:34,998 --> 00:20:36,192
less than two hours ago.
300
00:20:36,266 --> 00:20:38,826
There were
sculptures and paintings
all over the place.
301
00:20:38,902 --> 00:20:40,836
The bed had been slept in.
302
00:20:40,904 --> 00:20:42,462
Don't tell me
he wasn't living here.
303
00:20:43,406 --> 00:20:44,600
Mr. Rockford?
304
00:20:45,508 --> 00:20:48,102
There have been no calls
through our switchboard
from this suite.
305
00:20:48,178 --> 00:20:50,806
So if you and your friend
were in there,
306
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,347
you're guilty
of illegal entry.
307
00:20:52,849 --> 00:20:54,373
Maybe this is a matter
for the police.
308
00:20:54,618 --> 00:20:56,449
Oh, he doesn't want
to call the police,
309
00:20:56,886 --> 00:20:57,910
do you?
310
00:20:58,054 --> 00:20:59,578
No, no.
311
00:21:00,290 --> 00:21:01,450
Look,
312
00:21:02,592 --> 00:21:04,321
could I look inside, please?
313
00:21:04,427 --> 00:21:06,088
Come on,
what's it gonna hurt, huh?
314
00:21:23,813 --> 00:21:25,542
Well, everything appears
to be in order.
315
00:21:25,615 --> 00:21:27,640
Of course,
if something turns up missing,
316
00:21:28,118 --> 00:21:29,210
I have your name.
317
00:21:38,628 --> 00:21:41,096
ROCKFORD: Well, you know
something I don't know.
318
00:21:41,164 --> 00:21:45,100
Well, Thomas Caine
has been buying and selling
objets d'art for years.
319
00:21:45,368 --> 00:21:49,862
His dealings have
been barely legal
and usually totally unethical.
320
00:21:49,973 --> 00:21:53,534
Misrepresentation,
bogus signatures on paintings,
321
00:21:54,311 --> 00:21:56,939
falsified certificates
of authenticity.
322
00:21:57,681 --> 00:22:01,811
Well, his check was good.
They ran a credit check
before they accepted it.
323
00:22:01,885 --> 00:22:04,319
A man just doesn't
lay out 11 grand and disappear
324
00:22:04,387 --> 00:22:06,412
without picking up
his merchandise.
325
00:22:07,424 --> 00:22:08,823
Such as it is.
326
00:22:08,892 --> 00:22:10,086
Right.
327
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,961
If you have any idea
where I might purchase
the other two cormorants,
328
00:22:14,030 --> 00:22:15,258
will you call me?
329
00:22:15,665 --> 00:22:19,658
Look, I'm tired,
my client is missing...
I'm just not interested.
330
00:22:19,769 --> 00:22:21,532
Are you always
this friendly?
331
00:22:22,172 --> 00:22:24,868
Under the circumstances,
I think I'm doing pretty well.
332
00:22:26,142 --> 00:22:27,541
You have my card.
333
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,224
I thought you were
only interested in antiques.
334
00:22:47,697 --> 00:22:49,722
Hey, Jimbo. How you doing?
335
00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:51,562
Well, I'm not sure.
336
00:22:52,235 --> 00:22:54,203
A little overdressed,
wouldn't you say?
337
00:22:55,572 --> 00:22:56,903
Take a look at this,
will you?
338
00:22:59,042 --> 00:23:00,304
What is this?
339
00:23:01,111 --> 00:23:02,100
Or, was this?
340
00:23:02,512 --> 00:23:04,503
It's one of the
Lambrini cormorants.
341
00:23:05,115 --> 00:23:06,810
You mean
from the Glovester collection?
342
00:23:06,883 --> 00:23:08,111
Yeah. A man named Caine
343
00:23:08,184 --> 00:23:09,776
had me buy that for 11 grand.
344
00:23:10,286 --> 00:23:12,015
Thomas Caine?
Hey, you know him?
345
00:23:12,088 --> 00:23:13,146
I know of him.
346
00:23:13,223 --> 00:23:15,418
Rumor is he's been
in Prague the last couple
of weeks.
347
00:23:15,492 --> 00:23:18,086
Madrid.
Terry Fielding is in Prague.
348
00:23:18,428 --> 00:23:19,554
Uh-huh.
349
00:23:20,063 --> 00:23:21,155
You want some coffee?
350
00:23:21,231 --> 00:23:22,459
Yeah, black.
351
00:23:23,500 --> 00:23:24,762
You know Caine?
352
00:23:25,034 --> 00:23:28,299
A Miss Stoneman from
the London gallery told me
353
00:23:28,371 --> 00:23:29,861
that he was a crook.
354
00:23:31,474 --> 00:23:34,170
Jimbo, the art world
is full of kooks.
355
00:23:34,244 --> 00:23:36,235
Evelyn Stoneman's
fiercely dedicated.
356
00:23:36,780 --> 00:23:38,304
Caine's a fast-buck artist.
357
00:23:38,948 --> 00:23:40,575
It's all in
your point of view.
358
00:23:41,718 --> 00:23:43,185
What happened to
that thing anyway?
359
00:23:43,253 --> 00:23:46,518
Oh, a couple of art lovers
tried to take it away from me.
360
00:23:46,589 --> 00:23:49,990
Things got rough.
And now Caine has disappeared.
361
00:23:50,693 --> 00:23:53,423
Oh, at least you're finally
getting interested
in the art world.
362
00:23:53,496 --> 00:23:54,861
I told you it was lively.
363
00:23:55,565 --> 00:23:57,965
Caine asked me to buy this
on the off-chance
364
00:23:58,034 --> 00:24:00,025
that it wasn't a copy
but the real thing.
365
00:24:01,404 --> 00:24:03,031
That would be some find.
366
00:24:03,540 --> 00:24:06,031
The copies are worth maybe
$5,000 to $10,000 a piece.
367
00:24:06,109 --> 00:24:07,508
The originals are priceless.
368
00:24:09,312 --> 00:24:11,280
You think this might
be an original?
369
00:24:11,714 --> 00:24:14,911
No. I think the originals
were lost in the early 1800s.
370
00:24:17,086 --> 00:24:20,544
What about that
spectro-dating process
you were telling me about?
371
00:24:22,058 --> 00:24:23,650
Want me to put
your bird in the machine?
372
00:24:23,726 --> 00:24:25,057
Yeah. While I look for Caine.
373
00:24:25,128 --> 00:24:26,493
Okay. Okay.
374
00:24:29,432 --> 00:24:30,763
Pretty, isn't it?
375
00:24:41,878 --> 00:24:45,678
I hope you helped yourself
to whatever's in the icebox.
376
00:24:46,182 --> 00:24:50,414
I'm rather adept
with passkeys, Mr. Rockford.
377
00:24:51,387 --> 00:24:54,879
I was one of the few Americans
assigned to British
intelligence during the war.
378
00:24:55,358 --> 00:24:56,950
(MIMICKING ENGLISH ACCENT)
Good show, that.
379
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,685
Do you mind making yourself
a little less at home?
380
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:06,767
I was outside the gallery
when the two men attacked you.
381
00:25:07,570 --> 00:25:09,970
I saw the bird get broken.
382
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,102
Oh, well,
thanks for jumping in
and lending a hand.
383
00:25:13,376 --> 00:25:16,072
Oh, there wasn't
much I could do.
It all happened so fast.
384
00:25:16,846 --> 00:25:20,646
And once the bird was broken,
I seemed to lose all interest
in the whole affair.
385
00:25:21,985 --> 00:25:23,919
Then you saw Miss Stoneman.
386
00:25:24,654 --> 00:25:29,614
Evelyn Stoneman is one of
the art world's small curses.
387
00:25:30,660 --> 00:25:33,026
She runs about
from gallery to gallery
388
00:25:33,129 --> 00:25:36,860
and she almost has enough
money to pay for the things
she's bidding for.
389
00:25:38,201 --> 00:25:40,829
Unfortunately,
she's always
just about $1,000 short,
390
00:25:40,904 --> 00:25:44,806
so all she manages to do
is drive up the prices.
391
00:25:48,344 --> 00:25:49,402
Yes.
392
00:25:51,915 --> 00:25:54,975
She isn't too well thought of
in the right circles.
393
00:25:55,518 --> 00:25:56,815
Neither are you.
394
00:25:57,820 --> 00:25:59,344
All right. Neither am I.
395
00:25:59,889 --> 00:26:01,413
I never claimed sainthood.
396
00:26:02,225 --> 00:26:04,921
Where there's money,
you'll find operators.
397
00:26:05,328 --> 00:26:06,659
And I'm an operator,
398
00:26:07,397 --> 00:26:08,694
but then so are you.
399
00:26:09,232 --> 00:26:12,395
You just operate
on a smaller scale.
400
00:26:14,270 --> 00:26:15,897
(PHONE RINGING)
401
00:26:18,107 --> 00:26:19,096
Yeah.
402
00:26:19,976 --> 00:26:21,534
Overseas? No.
403
00:26:21,611 --> 00:26:23,044
Yes, that's for me.
404
00:26:23,112 --> 00:26:24,477
Cancel the call.
405
00:26:25,415 --> 00:26:27,280
How many of those things
did I buy?
406
00:26:28,017 --> 00:26:29,644
I don't suppose
it bothers you,
407
00:26:29,719 --> 00:26:31,050
the loss of the cormorant,
408
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,055
but it bothers me a lot.
So I made a few phone calls.
409
00:26:34,123 --> 00:26:36,785
There's been another cormorant
shipped into the country.
410
00:26:37,293 --> 00:26:40,854
You know,
when Lloyd's of London insures
items of this value
411
00:26:41,230 --> 00:26:43,892
they rather like them
to be shipped
on separate airplanes.
412
00:26:45,768 --> 00:26:47,827
I want you to pick up
the second cormorant for me.
413
00:26:48,237 --> 00:26:50,262
Oh, that really makes my day.
414
00:26:50,540 --> 00:26:52,735
And don't be so flip,
Mr. Rockford.
415
00:26:52,842 --> 00:26:54,537
I'm through working for you.
416
00:26:55,211 --> 00:26:57,805
I think you're trouble.
I also think you're crooked.
417
00:26:58,648 --> 00:27:01,116
So I'm not working for you,
Mr. Caine.
Do you mind leaving?
418
00:27:01,184 --> 00:27:02,879
I've been through your desk.
419
00:27:03,753 --> 00:27:06,278
I found that you're bonded
by the...
420
00:27:06,923 --> 00:27:10,552
What is it?
"Averill Insurance Group."
421
00:27:10,994 --> 00:27:12,484
I phoned Mr. Averill.
422
00:27:13,763 --> 00:27:15,355
He's about to drop
your account,
423
00:27:15,698 --> 00:27:18,064
if there are any more
large claims against it.
424
00:27:18,134 --> 00:27:22,434
The way he explains it,
you "barely float."
425
00:27:22,872 --> 00:27:25,864
Now, I can hit
your bonding company.
426
00:27:26,376 --> 00:27:29,402
And it seems to me
if I hit them too hard,
they'll drop you
427
00:27:30,613 --> 00:27:32,205
and that will
put you out of work.
428
00:27:33,716 --> 00:27:35,741
We're not getting along
too well, are we?
429
00:27:35,818 --> 00:27:37,080
On the contrary.
430
00:27:37,620 --> 00:27:40,885
Now, here's
the $100 that I owe you.
431
00:27:41,791 --> 00:27:44,259
And because of the added risk,
I'll pay you,
432
00:27:44,327 --> 00:27:47,922
say, $500
for this afternoon's work.
433
00:27:49,165 --> 00:27:54,125
The second cormorant
will be taken to the
Winslow Gallery on Alvarado.
434
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:58,800
The bidding starts at 2:00.
435
00:27:59,075 --> 00:28:01,873
Do you mind, Dennis?
I gotta be over there
by 2:00.
436
00:28:01,944 --> 00:28:04,936
Let me see.
Come on, Dennis.
437
00:28:05,848 --> 00:28:07,748
Do you know what happens
if Captain Highland finds out
438
00:28:07,817 --> 00:28:10,251
I'm letting you use
this department
as a branch office?
439
00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:11,684
Who's gonna tell him?
440
00:28:11,754 --> 00:28:12,778
We got rules.
441
00:28:12,855 --> 00:28:14,914
You don't worry
whether I get
my buns in a sling
442
00:28:14,991 --> 00:28:17,118
so long as you get
what you want.
Me, what do I get?
443
00:28:17,193 --> 00:28:19,525
Last Christmas,
I think it was
a case of Scotch.
444
00:28:22,265 --> 00:28:23,789
Dennis,
what's wrong with you?
445
00:28:23,866 --> 00:28:25,356
Listen, Jim,
this has got to stop.
446
00:28:25,435 --> 00:28:27,164
I mean, I don't mind
helping you out,
447
00:28:27,236 --> 00:28:29,568
but you got to
stop coming down
to pick up the results.
448
00:28:29,639 --> 00:28:30,606
Why?
449
00:28:30,673 --> 00:28:33,107
Because it embarrasses me,
that's why.
450
00:28:33,176 --> 00:28:35,701
They don't understand.
They don't like Pls.
451
00:28:36,079 --> 00:28:37,979
And it's hard on my image
around here.
452
00:28:38,047 --> 00:28:41,608
Well, if we're supposed
to be friends, why don't you
tell them to buzz off?
453
00:28:41,684 --> 00:28:43,174
You tell them.
I work with them.
454
00:28:43,319 --> 00:28:46,083
Dennis, may I see that,
please?
455
00:28:46,522 --> 00:28:48,581
No, it's official
police business.
456
00:28:49,225 --> 00:28:50,624
Well,
then why did you run it
457
00:28:50,693 --> 00:28:52,456
if you're not gonna
show it to me?
458
00:28:52,528 --> 00:28:53,961
Force of habit.
459
00:28:54,597 --> 00:28:56,895
Dennis,
I am in some trouble.
460
00:28:57,033 --> 00:28:59,331
I'm about to get tagged
by my bonding company,
461
00:28:59,402 --> 00:29:00,801
which will put me
out of business.
462
00:29:00,870 --> 00:29:02,462
And this guy Caine's
got me up a tree.
463
00:29:02,538 --> 00:29:03,937
I'm about to get shafted.
464
00:29:04,407 --> 00:29:05,931
Get out of here,
will you, Jim?
465
00:29:06,476 --> 00:29:08,307
Not till I get
the information.
466
00:29:13,816 --> 00:29:16,785
Thomas Caine,
no convictions.
467
00:29:16,853 --> 00:29:19,151
Scotland Yard and Interpol
468
00:29:19,222 --> 00:29:22,157
are having
a pick-up-for-questioning
tag on him.
469
00:29:22,225 --> 00:29:24,056
Not enough to extradite.
470
00:29:25,495 --> 00:29:26,757
Now get out of here.
471
00:29:27,463 --> 00:29:28,953
Questions about what?
472
00:29:29,031 --> 00:29:30,055
Things.
473
00:29:30,133 --> 00:29:32,601
Dennis, I'm not leaving
till I hear it.
474
00:29:36,305 --> 00:29:39,206
The disappearance of
a Lloyd's of London agent.
475
00:29:39,275 --> 00:29:41,300
A guy by the name of Barrows.
476
00:29:41,377 --> 00:29:43,538
That's it, nothing else.
Goodbye.
477
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,111
Thanks, Dennis.
Thanks a lot, old buddy.
478
00:29:48,184 --> 00:29:50,675
Get out of here, Rockford,
and don't come back!
479
00:29:54,624 --> 00:29:56,387
AUCTIONEER: Sold to the man
in the brown coat.
480
00:29:56,459 --> 00:29:58,723
Please pick up the cormorant
at the cashier's window.
481
00:30:23,619 --> 00:30:25,484
You owe me $500,
Mr. Caine.
482
00:30:26,355 --> 00:30:27,686
Did you see
those two men?
483
00:30:28,291 --> 00:30:29,758
Anybody give you
any trouble?
484
00:30:29,826 --> 00:30:32,795
I get the feeling
this auctioneer
didn't like me either.
485
00:30:33,863 --> 00:30:37,526
But I'm getting calluses.
Doesn't bother me as badly
as it did this morning.
486
00:30:38,334 --> 00:30:39,460
Ciao.
487
00:31:34,824 --> 00:31:35,916
Hello, Ted?
488
00:31:35,992 --> 00:31:37,857
Jim, I've been
trying to reach you.
489
00:31:38,261 --> 00:31:40,491
I've got
some good news for you
and some bad news.
490
00:31:40,796 --> 00:31:42,491
Give me the bad news first.
491
00:31:43,132 --> 00:31:45,191
I did the spectro-analysis.
492
00:31:45,801 --> 00:31:47,063
The cormorant is...
493
00:31:47,637 --> 00:31:49,764
The cormorant was
an original Lambrini.
494
00:31:50,973 --> 00:31:52,235
You're putting me on.
495
00:31:52,308 --> 00:31:53,366
Sorry.
496
00:31:53,442 --> 00:31:55,273
For once in his life,
Caine was on the level.
497
00:31:55,611 --> 00:31:56,908
Give me the good news.
498
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:00,674
Okay. Look, I can grab
some prestige for myself
if I can display
499
00:32:00,750 --> 00:32:02,308
the other two cormorants
here for a while.
500
00:32:03,119 --> 00:32:06,179
If Caine has them,
I'll pay him
a nice piece of change for it.
501
00:32:06,389 --> 00:32:10,120
If you help me convince him,
I can get the museum
to pony up $1000 for you.
502
00:32:11,093 --> 00:32:12,390
I'll get back to you.
503
00:32:30,980 --> 00:32:32,470
(CLINKING)
504
00:32:32,915 --> 00:32:34,382
(SMASHING)
505
00:33:37,143 --> 00:33:38,132
(BANGING)
506
00:34:01,234 --> 00:34:03,225
Hey, Dennis, old buddy.
How's it going?
507
00:34:03,669 --> 00:34:05,227
Jim, where are you, buddy?
508
00:34:05,304 --> 00:34:07,397
Oh, I'm in a phone booth.
509
00:34:07,607 --> 00:34:08,801
Yeah? Whereabouts?
510
00:34:09,675 --> 00:34:11,575
It's under a tree.
511
00:34:12,545 --> 00:34:13,944
Jim, you better come in.
512
00:34:14,313 --> 00:34:15,905
Did you send those blue suits
513
00:34:15,982 --> 00:34:17,313
out to my place?
514
00:34:17,784 --> 00:34:18,751
Yeah.
515
00:34:18,818 --> 00:34:19,842
Why?
516
00:34:22,522 --> 00:34:26,481
Jim, you come on down,
we'll talk it over
517
00:34:26,559 --> 00:34:28,083
and we'll get the whole thingworked out.
518
00:34:28,161 --> 00:34:30,686
Well, I'd like to do that,
Dennis, old buddy,
519
00:34:30,763 --> 00:34:34,164
but, you know, I'm trying to
stay away from the Department.
520
00:34:34,901 --> 00:34:37,062
You know,
I hurt your reputation
when I come in there.
521
00:34:38,471 --> 00:34:41,565
Jim, you get your butt in here
or I'm gonna put out
a warrant on you.
522
00:34:41,641 --> 00:34:43,939
Well, what's the matter,
Dennis? Can't you ask nice?
523
00:34:44,243 --> 00:34:46,871
You got to send one of those
Batmobiles to pick me up?
524
00:34:47,580 --> 00:34:49,070
That was Highland's idea.
525
00:34:49,415 --> 00:34:50,473
What's going on?
526
00:34:52,018 --> 00:34:53,042
Dennis,
527
00:34:53,186 --> 00:34:55,313
if you don't tell me,
I'm not coming in.
528
00:34:56,722 --> 00:34:58,019
All right.
I'll give you this much.
529
00:34:58,091 --> 00:34:59,956
We got a follow-up
on that telex.
530
00:35:00,159 --> 00:35:02,787
They found that
Lloyd's of London agent
that was missing.
531
00:35:03,196 --> 00:35:04,185
Barrows?
532
00:35:04,363 --> 00:35:05,830
Right. He's dead.
533
00:35:06,566 --> 00:35:09,399
It looks like he was
pushed off the roof
of one of the buildings
534
00:35:09,469 --> 00:35:10,731
at the London airport.
535
00:35:11,337 --> 00:35:12,634
Now, Lloyd's of London
536
00:35:12,705 --> 00:35:15,572
is sending over
an agent to question Caine.
537
00:35:15,641 --> 00:35:20,101
They think that he and Barrows
may have been involved
in a jewel heist.
538
00:35:20,179 --> 00:35:21,373
A jewel heist?
539
00:35:21,447 --> 00:35:24,041
I thought we were working
on an art swindle.
A jewel...
540
00:35:24,250 --> 00:35:27,151
What do you mean,
a jewel heist?
Where did that come from?
541
00:35:27,253 --> 00:35:30,154
There's more, but you got
to come in
if you want the answers.
542
00:35:30,690 --> 00:35:33,284
Okay, Dennis, I'm on my way.
543
00:35:39,432 --> 00:35:41,127
Put out a warrant on Rockford.
544
00:35:42,535 --> 00:35:43,934
He said he was coming in.
545
00:35:44,170 --> 00:35:45,364
He's not coming in.
546
00:35:46,672 --> 00:35:47,832
How do you know?
547
00:35:49,575 --> 00:35:51,440
Because I know, that's all.
548
00:35:59,785 --> 00:36:02,879
EVELYN: It's amusing.
Curators are sort of stuffy.
549
00:36:03,156 --> 00:36:04,646
Especially Mr. Lowell.
550
00:36:04,857 --> 00:36:08,759
The English get that way
when they're dealing
with their national heritage.
551
00:36:11,297 --> 00:36:12,992
I love art,
but it should be fun.
552
00:36:13,065 --> 00:36:15,693
We shouldn't take it
or ourselves too seriously.
553
00:36:18,004 --> 00:36:20,564
I usually don't command
such avid attention.
554
00:36:21,908 --> 00:36:23,637
You're trying to
decide something.
555
00:36:23,709 --> 00:36:24,733
What is it?
556
00:36:25,578 --> 00:36:28,308
Okay, Evelyn,
I'm trying to decide
557
00:36:28,381 --> 00:36:30,110
whether to take
a chance on you or not.
558
00:36:30,183 --> 00:36:32,242
Oh, that's quite chauvinistic.
559
00:36:32,585 --> 00:36:35,179
You see, I might not
let you take
a chance at all.
560
00:36:35,788 --> 00:36:38,222
I haven't decided
we're a workable couple yet.
561
00:36:38,424 --> 00:36:41,188
Oh, well, that's sweet
and terribly current,
562
00:36:41,260 --> 00:36:42,750
but it's not
what I had in mind.
563
00:36:43,729 --> 00:36:44,821
What did you have in mind?
564
00:36:46,299 --> 00:36:49,325
Well, you want to
recover those birds, right?
565
00:36:49,569 --> 00:36:50,934
The Lambrini birds?
566
00:36:51,337 --> 00:36:53,271
Of course.
That's why I'm here.
567
00:36:53,339 --> 00:36:54,806
Maybe I can help you.
568
00:36:55,074 --> 00:36:56,564
I dearly hope so.
569
00:36:56,709 --> 00:37:01,203
I'm not sure of the timetable,
but I think I can
570
00:37:01,581 --> 00:37:04,175
get hold of the third bird
within 24 hours.
571
00:37:04,850 --> 00:37:06,044
Third cormorant?
572
00:37:06,619 --> 00:37:07,950
What happened to the second?
573
00:37:11,424 --> 00:37:12,584
It didn't.
574
00:37:12,658 --> 00:37:13,920
Yeah. It did.
575
00:37:14,493 --> 00:37:15,517
How?
576
00:37:16,362 --> 00:37:18,057
Well,
I'm more interested in why.
577
00:37:19,198 --> 00:37:21,826
You really don't give a damn
about any of this, do you?
578
00:37:21,934 --> 00:37:23,799
Well, I have
a rooting interest.
579
00:37:24,303 --> 00:37:28,433
Don't you understand?
These birds are irreplaceable.
580
00:37:28,941 --> 00:37:31,535
The man who sculpted them
is long dead
581
00:37:31,944 --> 00:37:35,710
and single-handedly
you managed to break
two of them in two days.
582
00:37:36,749 --> 00:37:40,446
I have just about reached
my threshold of abuse.
583
00:37:40,720 --> 00:37:44,019
Now, you told me to call you
if I needed any help.
584
00:37:44,090 --> 00:37:46,615
Okay. Well, maybe
that was a mistake.
585
00:37:47,693 --> 00:37:50,184
I'm sorry. I'm upset.
586
00:37:50,730 --> 00:37:52,197
Then control yourself.
587
00:37:53,165 --> 00:37:54,427
I'll try.
588
00:37:54,934 --> 00:37:57,698
You said something about
recovering the third piece.
589
00:37:58,204 --> 00:38:00,866
If you can,
I'm prepared to go
as high as it takes
590
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:02,840
to get it back
for the National Gallery.
591
00:38:03,175 --> 00:38:06,201
Okay, Miss Stoneman,
but you should be
where I can reach you.
592
00:38:06,379 --> 00:38:10,076
Now, you stay at your hotel,
and when I recover
the third bird I'll call you.
593
00:38:10,182 --> 00:38:12,116
What makes you think
you're going to get it?
594
00:38:12,652 --> 00:38:13,641
Oh,
595
00:38:13,953 --> 00:38:15,511
I have a hunch about it,
that's all.
596
00:38:16,389 --> 00:38:18,550
You'd better not
break this one.
597
00:38:19,158 --> 00:38:20,716
I'll wear a catcher's mitt.
598
00:38:35,675 --> 00:38:40,339
Morning.
I kind of figured
you'd call me again.
599
00:38:40,413 --> 00:38:43,177
There is a third bird
to be auctioned
at the Murchison Gallery.
600
00:38:43,249 --> 00:38:45,581
I want you to
pick it up for me.
Here's your check.
601
00:38:47,219 --> 00:38:49,244
There's a condition this time.
602
00:38:50,589 --> 00:38:51,613
What condition?
603
00:38:51,691 --> 00:38:55,889
Yeah, well, Ted Haller,
at the Upstairs Gallery would
like to display the cormorant
604
00:38:55,961 --> 00:38:58,156
for a week or two.
He'll pay you well
605
00:38:58,230 --> 00:39:00,994
and I can pick up $1000
if I can convince you.
606
00:39:01,067 --> 00:39:03,228
Our dealings were
supposed to be secret.
607
00:39:03,803 --> 00:39:05,031
Well, you see,
a friend of mine,
608
00:39:05,104 --> 00:39:07,334
a Sergeant Becker down at
police headquarters,
609
00:39:07,406 --> 00:39:11,342
and then there's an agent
from Lloyd's of London,
who are looking for you.
610
00:39:11,410 --> 00:39:13,844
Something about a dead man
named Barrows.
611
00:39:14,447 --> 00:39:15,778
What are you implying?
612
00:39:15,848 --> 00:39:17,873
I'm just telling you
we're gonna start doing things
613
00:39:17,950 --> 00:39:19,918
my way from now on
instead of yours.
614
00:39:20,386 --> 00:39:22,411
You realize, of course,
that's blackmail.
615
00:39:24,123 --> 00:39:25,147
It's business.
616
00:39:25,658 --> 00:39:30,618
Now, Mr. Haller has
a spectro-dating process
and he'll test your Lambrini
617
00:39:30,696 --> 00:39:32,926
to make sure it's genuine
before he'll make a deal.
618
00:39:35,201 --> 00:39:36,190
Very well.
619
00:39:46,512 --> 00:39:48,639
AUCTIONEER: Sold to the
gentleman in the fourth row!
620
00:39:58,518 --> 00:40:00,076
Original Lambrini.
621
00:39:59,224 --> 00:40:01,692
Yes. Well, you'll be wanting
to run a test, of course.
622
00:40:01,893 --> 00:40:03,758
Of course.
Same as the other two.
623
00:40:05,697 --> 00:40:06,686
Other two?
624
00:40:07,132 --> 00:40:11,330
Yeah, I had Mr. Haller
run a test on the remains
of the one that I broke
625
00:40:11,403 --> 00:40:12,495
and the one you broke.
626
00:40:13,538 --> 00:40:15,802
And they both proved
to be original Lambrinis.
627
00:40:16,841 --> 00:40:18,934
I guess I forgot
to mention that.
628
00:40:21,613 --> 00:40:22,705
That's impossible.
629
00:40:22,781 --> 00:40:24,806
Oh, no, no, no.
The process is foolproof.
630
00:40:28,086 --> 00:40:29,212
Hello, Jim.
631
00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:35,286
Oh, you're early.
We're not quite finished yet.
632
00:40:37,962 --> 00:40:38,986
Who is this?
633
00:40:39,063 --> 00:40:40,655
Oh, I'm sorry.
634
00:40:40,732 --> 00:40:44,395
May I present
Miss Evelyn Stoneman of the
National Gallery of London.
635
00:40:44,469 --> 00:40:46,403
That's not Evelyn Stoneman.
I know Evelyn.
636
00:40:47,372 --> 00:40:48,896
I was afraid
you were gonna say that.
637
00:40:49,407 --> 00:40:51,534
Hello, Tom,
how's everything in Florence?
638
00:40:52,076 --> 00:40:54,874
It's hot, Margret,
85 degrees.
639
00:40:55,780 --> 00:40:57,338
And how's Gabriella?
640
00:40:57,549 --> 00:40:59,710
Listen, Maggie,
we can make a deal.
641
00:41:00,084 --> 00:41:01,210
Barrows is dead
642
00:41:01,553 --> 00:41:02,679
and there's room
for a partner.
643
00:41:03,221 --> 00:41:04,210
I'm sure.
644
00:41:04,289 --> 00:41:05,881
Well, I'll have to
consider it, Tom.
645
00:41:06,591 --> 00:41:07,888
Nice seeing you all.
646
00:41:07,959 --> 00:41:09,824
Evelyn... Margret...
Whatever.
647
00:41:09,894 --> 00:41:11,361
Don't break the bird.
648
00:41:11,429 --> 00:41:13,624
It happens to be
one of the original Lambrinis.
649
00:41:13,698 --> 00:41:15,165
It is not a copy.
650
00:41:15,467 --> 00:41:18,163
Don't take all this art jazz
too seriously, dear.
651
00:41:18,803 --> 00:41:21,636
It ruins your sense of humor
and it clogs the sinuses.
652
00:41:21,706 --> 00:41:25,164
He's telling the truth.
Please, don't hurt it.
It's priceless.
653
00:41:25,376 --> 00:41:26,707
I'll be very careful.
654
00:41:33,685 --> 00:41:34,879
I'll get the cops.
655
00:41:34,953 --> 00:41:36,978
Here, you hold that.
I'll get the cops.
656
00:41:37,789 --> 00:41:38,813
(ALARM RINGING)
657
00:41:38,890 --> 00:41:41,256
I know, I know,
but it's quicker.
658
00:42:06,284 --> 00:42:09,947
Dennis, don't argue!
I followed these clowns
to the airport.
659
00:42:10,021 --> 00:42:12,046
Now, get a couple of cops
and get out here
on the double.
660
00:42:12,123 --> 00:42:14,023
They're on Concourse B.
661

Yes, I'd like to page

665
00:42:35,046 --> 00:42:37,674
Yes. Would you ask
Mr. Edward Barrows
666
00:42:37,749 --> 00:42:40,980
to call the customs
luggage claims office, please?
667
00:42:42,353 --> 00:42:44,014
Yes, Edward Barrows.
668
00:42:44,622 --> 00:42:45,646
Thank you.
669
00:42:54,365 --> 00:42:56,731
It's $3.90, please.
Thank you.

Mr. Edward Barrows.
673

Answering the page
for a dead man.
674
00:43:26,230 --> 00:43:28,960
It wasn't in any
of the three birds.
675
00:43:32,070 --> 00:43:33,298

Come on.
679
00:43:45,249 --> 00:43:46,238
You'll miss your plane.
680
00:43:46,317 --> 00:43:47,682
I might not
have to take it.
681
00:43:52,457 --> 00:43:55,517
WOMAN: (OVER P.A. SYSTEM)
Skycap, please reportto the baggage loading area.
682
00:43:55,860 --> 00:43:58,420
Skycap, please reportto the baggage loading area.
683
00:44:14,612 --> 00:44:18,048
Oh, thank you, Mr. Fricke.
I really do appreciate it.
684
00:44:18,216 --> 00:44:19,547
Glad to help,
Mr. Barrows.
685
00:44:19,617 --> 00:44:20,675
Thank you.
686
00:44:29,961 --> 00:44:31,952
WOMAN: (OVER P.A. SYSTEM)

688
00:44:34,666 --> 00:44:38,864
for Dallas, New Orleans,Washington and Philadelphia.
689
00:44:43,941 --> 00:44:48,002
CAB Flight 292 is now readyfor boarding at Gate 41
690
00:44:48,212 --> 00:44:51,943
for Dallas, New Orleans,Washington and Philadelphia.
691
00:45:13,671 --> 00:45:14,797
I'll take the bag, Rockford.
692
00:45:14,872 --> 00:45:16,066
I beg your pardon?
693
00:45:16,140 --> 00:45:17,630
I'll take the bag.
694
00:45:17,709 --> 00:45:18,733
Oh.
695
00:45:19,377 --> 00:45:20,401
Why not?
696
00:45:29,987 --> 00:45:31,045
Drop it!
697
00:45:40,498 --> 00:45:42,966
BECKER: Drop it! Now, hold it!
698
00:45:58,182 --> 00:45:59,649
You okay?
699
00:45:59,717 --> 00:46:01,048
Yeah, I'm fine.
700
00:46:01,119 --> 00:46:02,882
One of you want to tell me
what this is all about?
701
00:46:02,954 --> 00:46:04,216
Well, I'll tell you.
702
00:46:04,989 --> 00:46:06,923
It's all about jewelry.
703
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,707
The Glovester jewel heist.
704
00:46:36,954 --> 00:46:38,444
(JEWELS RATTLING)
705
00:46:44,495 --> 00:46:47,293
Okay, let me
get this straight.
706
00:46:48,432 --> 00:46:52,198
Evelyn Stoneman is really
Maggie Donnegan?
707
00:46:54,405 --> 00:46:58,967
Miss Donnegan was an
executive secretary
of the Glovester estate.
708
00:46:59,043 --> 00:47:02,342
She helped Caine set up
the theft of the jewels.
709
00:47:02,513 --> 00:47:05,038
But the stuff was
too hot to fence in Europe
710
00:47:05,416 --> 00:47:08,010
and he didn't want to give
good old Margret her share.
711
00:47:08,286 --> 00:47:10,049
Oh, so he put them
in the birds.
712
00:47:10,121 --> 00:47:11,349
Exactly.
713
00:47:11,422 --> 00:47:16,189
You see, customs agents rarely
uncrate valuable art objects,
714
00:47:16,327 --> 00:47:20,320
especially when they're
insured and shipped
by a reputable firm like ours.
715
00:47:22,033 --> 00:47:26,163
The trouble is
Maggie and her chaps
caught up with Barrows
716
00:47:26,237 --> 00:47:27,864
before he could
make the switch.
717
00:47:27,939 --> 00:47:31,898
So, he jammed the duplicates
into his suitcase
and tried to run for it.
718
00:47:32,476 --> 00:47:36,378
Of course, he died before
he could tell Caine
that the real Lambrinis
719
00:47:36,447 --> 00:47:38,039
were being shipped
from Lloyd's.
720
00:47:38,482 --> 00:47:41,349
Apparently, they had been
in the Glovester estate
all these years.
721
00:47:41,419 --> 00:47:43,410
It's quite an art find.
722
00:47:44,755 --> 00:47:46,222
At least, it was.
723
00:47:47,325 --> 00:47:48,758
Yeah, well,
I think I got it.
724
00:47:48,826 --> 00:47:50,453
It's given me
a little bit
of a headache.
725
00:47:51,729 --> 00:47:54,391
I'll see you in the morning
and we'll get
extradition started.
726
00:47:54,465 --> 00:47:55,454
10:00?
727
00:47:55,533 --> 00:47:56,557
Yeah, whatever.
728
00:47:56,634 --> 00:47:57,965
Are you gonna
take care of the bill?
729
00:47:58,035 --> 00:48:00,230
Oh, yeah.
My pleasure, old buddy.
730
00:48:03,975 --> 00:48:07,172
Mr. Cryder,
I don't want to seem anxious,
731
00:48:07,245 --> 00:48:11,147
but I was wondering
about my 5% recovery fee.
732
00:48:12,083 --> 00:48:16,577
Oh, yes. I called my people
at Lloyd's. They agreed.
733
00:48:16,988 --> 00:48:20,355
5% of a million dollars
worth of jewelry.
734
00:48:20,424 --> 00:48:22,756
That's $50,000, isn't it?
735
00:48:22,927 --> 00:48:23,951
Yes.
736
00:48:24,028 --> 00:48:28,988
Unfortunately,
each of the cormorants
was insured for $15,000,
737
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,630
making a total of $45,000.
738
00:48:32,937 --> 00:48:34,962
What has one
got to do with the other?
739
00:48:35,106 --> 00:48:39,873
Well, they feel
that since you were hired
740
00:48:39,944 --> 00:48:44,244
to protect them,
and since all three
were destroyed,
741
00:48:44,482 --> 00:48:47,246
that you should
bear the loss.
742
00:48:47,585 --> 00:48:49,314
That's preposterous!
743
00:48:49,387 --> 00:48:53,448
Unfortunately,
that is how they feel.
744
00:48:53,591 --> 00:48:56,890
So $45,000 from $50,000
745
00:48:56,961 --> 00:48:58,861
leaves $5,000.
746
00:49:00,431 --> 00:49:02,661
Well,
I didn't break
the damn things.
747
00:49:02,733 --> 00:49:05,896
I've been doing
some preliminary figuring.
748
00:49:06,103 --> 00:49:09,903
Now, from the $5,000 there's,
of course,
749
00:49:10,007 --> 00:49:13,670
English inheritance taxes
and English income taxes.
750
00:49:13,978 --> 00:49:17,744
Oh, yes, we shall have to,
of course, inform your IRS.
751
00:49:18,649 --> 00:49:21,243
And there's
the rate of exchange
to consider.
752
00:49:21,319 --> 00:49:22,980
Oh, yes.
And then there's...
753
00:49:23,054 --> 00:49:24,043
One minute.
754
00:49:24,121 --> 00:49:25,179
Yes?
755
00:49:25,456 --> 00:49:29,085
Do you think there is going
to be enough left for me
to pick up this tab?
756
00:49:29,193 --> 00:49:32,526
Well, I really don't know,
Mr. Rockford.
That rather depends.
757
00:49:32,830 --> 00:49:34,627
Do you intend
to keep on drinking?
