Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:03,692
That's $5,000.
2
00:00:03,768 --> 00:00:04,757
Well, are you our man?
3
00:00:04,836 --> 00:00:07,669
Do you guys really think
I'd cater a killing?
4
00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:14,574
Think about what may happen
if you go through with it.
5
00:00:14,646 --> 00:00:17,046
Rockford already reported us
to the police.
6
00:00:17,115 --> 00:00:19,208
Somebody ought to
throw a net over
the bunch of you.
7
00:00:19,284 --> 00:00:21,218
We got friends
in high places,
8
00:00:21,353 --> 00:00:24,322
and they know how to handle
a bedroom birddog like you.
9
00:00:25,924 --> 00:00:28,415
We don't have any brakes.
Hang on.
10
00:00:36,401 --> 00:00:37,834
ROCKFORD
ON ANSWERING MACHINE:
This is Jim Rockford.
11
00:00:37,902 --> 00:00:39,335
At the tone, leave your name
and message.
12
00:00:39,404 --> 00:00:40,393
I'll get back to you.
13
00:00:41,573 --> 00:00:43,666
WOMAN: So you've put
your machine on
at night, huh?
14
00:00:43,742 --> 00:00:45,835
Just 'cause
I call you at 3:00 a.m.?
15
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:48,242
You know how bad
my insomnia is.
16
00:00:48,380 --> 00:00:49,608
Thanks a lot, Jim.
17
00:03:03,715 --> 00:03:05,182
Well, nothing wrong
with this beauty.
18
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:06,274
Yeah.
19
00:03:06,351 --> 00:03:09,479
Great ride. And, you could
pour tea back there.
20
00:03:09,554 --> 00:03:12,250
At $10,000 each,
I don't see how
we can get hurt.
21
00:03:12,323 --> 00:03:15,224
Not when the new ones
go for $90,000.
22
00:03:15,293 --> 00:03:17,761
Well, the water tank capacity
is 1,000 gallons,
23
00:03:17,829 --> 00:03:21,822
two-stage pump,
750 gallons per minute
at 100 PSI,
24
00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:24,164
50% at 250 PSI.
25
00:03:24,235 --> 00:03:26,066
More than 20 years old.
26
00:03:26,571 --> 00:03:29,904
Well, that's not gonna
bother us if the engines
were overhauled right.
27
00:03:29,974 --> 00:03:33,102
Yeah. The work was done
by factory mechanics.
28
00:03:36,881 --> 00:03:38,348
The Mayor's Committee
has agreed.
29
00:03:39,184 --> 00:03:40,981
Well, you did a real job
on the homework.
30
00:03:41,052 --> 00:03:45,751
You know, when we wired in
our offer two days ago
from Deer Lick Falls,
31
00:03:45,957 --> 00:03:47,447
we never dreamed
we'd be high bid.
32
00:03:47,525 --> 00:03:49,254
Thought we were
buying a pig in a poke.
33
00:03:49,327 --> 00:03:53,229
Yeah? You know,
Art here's got strong
feelings about California.
34
00:03:53,364 --> 00:03:56,333
How do you
trust anyone in a state
where half the people
35
00:03:56,401 --> 00:03:58,835
hide their eyes
behind sunglasses?
36
00:04:00,638 --> 00:04:02,799
Now, Jim, if you'll just
give me your bill,
37
00:04:02,874 --> 00:04:03,863
I'll write you a check.
38
00:04:03,942 --> 00:04:05,170
And we'll get on with
the main order of business,
39
00:04:05,243 --> 00:04:07,404
which is painting
this town. Right?
40
00:04:07,512 --> 00:04:11,039
Oh, how about
these massage parlors.
41
00:04:11,115 --> 00:04:12,844
You know a hot one, Jim?
42
00:04:12,917 --> 00:04:15,852
Oh, yeah.
The YWCA has
a great masseuse.
43
00:04:27,699 --> 00:04:28,688
There you are.
44
00:04:28,933 --> 00:04:32,300
Hey, reasonable.
45
00:04:32,370 --> 00:04:33,962
Very reasonable.
46
00:04:34,539 --> 00:04:37,906
Oh, by the way, Jim,
I wanted to ask you,
47
00:04:38,376 --> 00:04:42,039
is it very hard to find
somebody once you've
lost their address?
48
00:04:42,113 --> 00:04:44,013
Well, that depends.
49
00:04:44,148 --> 00:04:46,878
Helps if you know
what they do for a living.
50
00:04:46,951 --> 00:04:48,816
It's my niece.
Would-be actress.
51
00:04:48,886 --> 00:04:51,514
Last we heard
she was on unemployment.
52
00:04:51,856 --> 00:04:54,848
I got a profit-sharing check
I wanna mail to her.
53
00:04:54,926 --> 00:04:57,588
She used to work for me
as a bookkeeper.
54
00:04:57,662 --> 00:05:00,631
Well, struggling actresses,
they change their addresses
55
00:05:00,698 --> 00:05:02,723
about as fast as
they change their names.
56
00:05:03,134 --> 00:05:04,863
It may take awhile.
57
00:05:05,136 --> 00:05:06,626
Only got a few days.
58
00:05:06,704 --> 00:05:07,898
Wanna get back home.
59
00:05:07,972 --> 00:05:09,803
We'd kind of like to
check out the sights,
60
00:05:09,874 --> 00:05:11,808
if you know what I mean.
61
00:05:12,143 --> 00:05:13,371
You see,
62
00:05:13,778 --> 00:05:18,477
I'm about the only family
she has now that my sister
is dead,
63
00:05:18,549 --> 00:05:20,847
and I'd just hate to go
back to Deer Lick Falls
64
00:05:20,918 --> 00:05:22,510
without knowing
whether she's all right.
65
00:05:22,587 --> 00:05:23,986
Well, what's her name?
66
00:05:24,489 --> 00:05:27,458
Lauren Ingeborg.
67
00:05:27,525 --> 00:05:30,961
That's I-N-G-E-B-O-R-G.
68
00:05:31,663 --> 00:05:34,257
Well, I'll check it out.
69
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:35,832
I'll be in touch with you.
70
00:05:35,967 --> 00:05:37,059
Good man.
71
00:05:38,603 --> 00:05:40,366
You take care now, huh?
ROCKFORD: Yeah.
72
00:05:40,805 --> 00:05:43,535
Mr. Rockford,
I'm not sure we have
an attractive bookkeeper
73
00:05:43,608 --> 00:05:44,597
with theatrical experience.
74
00:05:45,376 --> 00:05:47,640
Well, she doesn't have to
have that much experience.
75
00:05:47,712 --> 00:05:50,840
What we need is
a honey-tongued XL who can
modulate the Ten-Code
76
00:05:50,915 --> 00:05:52,177
and some ratchet jaw.
77
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:54,878
XL? Ratchet jaw?
78
00:05:55,053 --> 00:05:57,078
Unmarried. CB lingo.
79
00:05:57,255 --> 00:05:59,485
She'll have to learn
the difference between
a pregnant roller skate
80
00:05:59,557 --> 00:06:01,525
and a County mounty
in a plain white wrapper.
81
00:06:01,592 --> 00:06:02,820
For what purpose?
82
00:06:02,894 --> 00:06:05,385
Well, I'm exhibiting
some new transceivers
at a convention.
83
00:06:05,463 --> 00:06:07,397
We do skits.
She'll demonstrate.
84
00:06:07,465 --> 00:06:09,296
Oh, and keep the books, too.
I see.
85
00:06:09,801 --> 00:06:10,893
All right.
86
00:06:10,968 --> 00:06:13,493
I'll put this
through processing and notify
you in about two weeks.
87
00:06:13,571 --> 00:06:14,936
Miss Orneck...
88
00:06:15,006 --> 00:06:17,736
Miss Orneck, the convention
is next week.
89
00:06:17,809 --> 00:06:19,572
Now I'm sure if you put
the pedal to the metal
90
00:06:19,644 --> 00:06:23,205
of that computer of yours
over there it'll spit out
a few names,
91
00:06:23,281 --> 00:06:26,079
and I don't wanna go to
an unemployment agency
92
00:06:26,150 --> 00:06:30,052
when I can save the state
the trouble of writing
another check.
93
00:06:31,422 --> 00:06:34,448
I'll have some names
and addresses for you
in a few minutes.
94
00:06:43,101 --> 00:06:44,568
Look at this!
95
00:06:44,736 --> 00:06:47,102
My feet are the same size
as Bob Hope's.
96
00:06:47,171 --> 00:06:49,230
Come on, Knute.
We wanna get some lunch.
97
00:06:49,307 --> 00:06:51,400
Hey! We could go
to the Brown Derby.
98
00:06:51,509 --> 00:06:54,945
I'm tired of
all this business.
I want to see Hollywood!
99
00:06:55,012 --> 00:06:57,003
We can't talk
at the Brown Derby.
100
00:06:57,081 --> 00:06:58,275
Nothing to talk about.
101
00:06:58,349 --> 00:07:00,977
Art, come on.
I wanna talk to you.
102
00:07:05,223 --> 00:07:08,317
All right, Art.
Just what is it
you object to?
103
00:07:08,426 --> 00:07:09,791
The whole thing.
104
00:07:10,027 --> 00:07:12,393
When we first found out
last week,
105
00:07:12,463 --> 00:07:15,626
it was easy
in the heat of the moment
to talk about doing this.
106
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:17,258
Because it was just talk.
107
00:07:17,969 --> 00:07:19,664
But now we're actually here.
108
00:07:20,371 --> 00:07:22,805
And I've changed my mind,
which is my right.
109
00:07:22,874 --> 00:07:25,843
But like Ev says,
Rockford is qualified.
110
00:07:25,910 --> 00:07:27,571
Yes. And the money will
certainly interest him.
111
00:07:27,645 --> 00:07:30,671
He's desperate enough for it,
investigating fire trucks.
112
00:07:30,748 --> 00:07:32,613
He lives in a trailer.
113
00:07:32,683 --> 00:07:35,379
This is insanity.
This is wrong.
114
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,318
Art, you are out-voted.
115
00:07:38,790 --> 00:07:41,884
Now either you will make this
as smooth as possible for us,
116
00:07:41,959 --> 00:07:44,587
or I, for one,
am not likely to forget it.
117
00:07:44,662 --> 00:07:45,686
Me neither.
118
00:07:45,763 --> 00:07:46,787
Listen to me.
119
00:07:46,864 --> 00:07:48,798
Hey! Look at
that Rolls-Royce.
120
00:07:54,238 --> 00:07:55,227
Hey.
121
00:07:55,807 --> 00:07:58,537
Do you know who
was in that Rolls? Huh?
122
00:07:58,743 --> 00:08:01,109
Ginger Rogers!
I'm sure of it.
123
00:08:11,222 --> 00:08:12,712
Oh, excuse me.
124
00:08:16,894 --> 00:08:19,863
All right.
Roll it right on in,
my friend, and stand back.
125
00:08:19,931 --> 00:08:22,365
We got thirsty people here
in dire need.
126
00:08:22,433 --> 00:08:24,230
Hey, Jim!
Buddy, come on in.
127
00:08:24,302 --> 00:08:27,135
I'll pour you some bourbon
and ditch water.
128
00:08:27,205 --> 00:08:28,194
Hi, guys.
129
00:08:28,272 --> 00:08:30,365
WOMAN: Hey, come on over
and join the party.
130
00:08:30,675 --> 00:08:32,905
Help yourself, now, folks.
Help yourself, you hear?
131
00:08:32,977 --> 00:08:34,808
You guys get over
your fire truck ride?
132
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,713
Hey, Jim, Jim,
how about those
ladies, huh?
133
00:08:38,783 --> 00:08:41,479
That one there actually works
in a massage parlor.
134
00:08:41,552 --> 00:08:42,849
Guess where
we met her, huh?
135
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,410
The Brown Derby?
136
00:08:44,489 --> 00:08:46,081
What'd I tell you?
He has the eyes of a hawk.
137
00:08:46,257 --> 00:08:47,884
Yeah.
Find yourself
a seat, buddy.
138
00:08:47,959 --> 00:08:50,826
I can only stay a minute.
I'm off to see some shows.
139
00:08:50,895 --> 00:08:52,260
Neighborhood playhouses.
140
00:08:52,330 --> 00:08:53,797
Your niece is in one.
141
00:08:53,865 --> 00:08:55,833
I found this
at her last known address.
142
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,767
Her current stage name
is Inga Lauren.
143
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:02,465
Hardly know her with all
that makeup and hairdo.
144
00:09:03,908 --> 00:09:05,034
But, yeah,
that's Lauren, all right.
145
00:09:05,109 --> 00:09:06,633
Yeah. Well,
I wanted to make sure.
146
00:09:06,711 --> 00:09:08,611
There's about 15 theaters
in this town.
147
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,704
With my luck,
she'll be in the 15th.
148
00:09:11,949 --> 00:09:14,941
Hey, Jim, I'd like to talk
to you for a second, huh?
149
00:09:15,019 --> 00:09:16,008
Sure.
150
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,644
Over here.
151
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,201
That's $5,000
in your hand.
152
00:09:38,309 --> 00:09:39,333
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
153
00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:42,277
My hand size is
a perfect $5,000.
154
00:09:42,346 --> 00:09:46,749
I thought you said something
about a profit-sharing check
for your niece.
155
00:09:46,817 --> 00:09:49,149
Oh, that's not for Lauren.
That's for you.
156
00:09:49,287 --> 00:09:53,053
It's what they call
"front money," I think.
157
00:09:53,658 --> 00:09:55,956
You get $15,000 afterwards.
158
00:09:56,027 --> 00:09:57,016
After what?
159
00:09:57,128 --> 00:09:58,493
After Lauren's accident.
160
00:09:58,563 --> 00:10:00,656
And, it has to look
like an accident.
161
00:10:01,032 --> 00:10:02,522
Are you...
162
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:05,863
Are you hiring me
to waste Lauren Ingeborg?
163
00:10:05,937 --> 00:10:07,063
Your niece?
164
00:10:07,138 --> 00:10:08,400
Not necessarily you.
165
00:10:08,472 --> 00:10:11,566
Anybody. Any way
you plan to arrange it.
166
00:10:12,310 --> 00:10:14,437
You're kidding.
Aren't you?
167
00:10:15,012 --> 00:10:18,311
Look, if you know
what she had put us through,
and our families,
168
00:10:18,382 --> 00:10:19,440
you wouldn't think twice.
169
00:10:19,517 --> 00:10:21,075
I already have.
170
00:10:24,722 --> 00:10:25,916
Well, are you our man?
171
00:10:25,990 --> 00:10:28,117
Don't tell me $20,000
isn't enough.
172
00:10:28,192 --> 00:10:30,956
Do you guys really think
I'd cater a killing?
173
00:10:31,028 --> 00:10:34,259
Well, we thought you might
have some contacts,
know somebody.
174
00:10:34,332 --> 00:10:36,027
Who'd slaughter a girl
for you?
175
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:38,625
Hey, you're so far off base,
176
00:10:38,803 --> 00:10:40,896
somebody ought to
throw a net over
the bunch of you.
177
00:10:41,138 --> 00:10:42,196
Now listen, Rockford...
178
00:10:42,273 --> 00:10:43,297
No, you listen!
179
00:10:43,374 --> 00:10:44,705
Not only am I not your man,
180
00:10:44,775 --> 00:10:47,539
but I'm going down to
the Police Department
and pull your plug.
181
00:10:47,612 --> 00:10:50,206
To the police?
With your prison record?
182
00:10:50,281 --> 00:10:52,442
That's right,
we know all about you.
183
00:10:52,516 --> 00:10:55,644
Now you may think that
Deer Lick is right next door
to East Tree Stump,
184
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,245
but we're only 15 miles
from the capital.
185
00:10:58,322 --> 00:11:00,256
And we are not field hands.
186
00:11:00,324 --> 00:11:01,313
Yeah.
187
00:11:01,392 --> 00:11:03,451
We got friends
in high places,
188
00:11:03,527 --> 00:11:06,985
and they know how to handle
a bedroom birddog like you.
189
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:09,392
Yeah. Well, you can handle me
any way you want, pal,
190
00:11:09,467 --> 00:11:10,991
but you can believe me,
191
00:11:11,369 --> 00:11:13,462
I'll handle you from my end.
192
00:11:15,473 --> 00:11:16,940
No deal, pal.
193
00:11:21,612 --> 00:11:22,943
Happy now?
194
00:11:36,460 --> 00:11:38,052
That's it.
We better wait
till morning.
195
00:11:38,262 --> 00:11:40,696
Tomorrow morning
will be too late.
196
00:11:41,932 --> 00:11:44,162
Sergeant Becker,
Police Department.
197
00:11:44,235 --> 00:11:46,066
I know it's late
and I'm sorry to bother you,
198
00:11:46,137 --> 00:11:48,071
but Mr. Rockford here
has made a complaint.
199
00:11:48,973 --> 00:11:50,531
Yeah. Right.
I'm Ev Benson.
200
00:11:50,608 --> 00:11:53,441
Come on in. We can
straighten this matter up
right here and now.
201
00:11:57,481 --> 00:12:00,575
Guess who had the gall
to call the police, huh?
202
00:12:00,651 --> 00:12:02,312
It's a rather
serious complaint.
203
00:12:02,386 --> 00:12:05,947
We were coming to you
in the morning, Sergeant,
with a complaint of our own.
204
00:12:06,023 --> 00:12:08,787
Well, let's deal
with Mr. Rockford's
complaint first.
205
00:12:08,859 --> 00:12:10,451
I understood that
there were four of you.
206
00:12:10,528 --> 00:12:13,429
Mr. Deitweiler
isn't feeling well.
He has a heart condition.
207
00:12:13,497 --> 00:12:15,021
Aggravated by him.
208
00:12:15,099 --> 00:12:17,499
He shouldn't have taken
the turndown so personally.
209
00:12:17,568 --> 00:12:20,901
Mr. Rockford claims
that you offered him
$20,000 in cash
210
00:12:20,971 --> 00:12:22,268
to kill your niece.
211
00:12:22,339 --> 00:12:25,866
My niece?
I asked him
to kill my niece?
212
00:12:26,077 --> 00:12:28,443
Do you believe this?
213
00:12:29,747 --> 00:12:32,716
Listen, if the police
department can't do
anything about that man,
214
00:12:32,783 --> 00:12:35,308
the State of Michigan will.
I promise you.
215
00:12:35,386 --> 00:12:36,717
That's right.
216
00:12:36,787 --> 00:12:41,349
He tried to stick us
with a $5,000 bill
for two days' work.
217
00:12:41,425 --> 00:12:43,985
Investigating fire trucks,
mind you,
218
00:12:44,061 --> 00:12:47,428
and then
threatened to blackmail us
when we refused to pay.
219
00:12:47,498 --> 00:12:49,022
Come on, get off it,
will you, pal?
220
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:50,567
You'll get your chance, Jim.
221
00:12:50,768 --> 00:12:53,862
Did you put
$5,000 in his hands,
Mr. Benson?
222
00:12:54,271 --> 00:12:57,763
Yes. Yes, we did.
I am ashamed to say.
223
00:12:57,908 --> 00:12:58,932
He had us scared.
224
00:12:59,009 --> 00:13:03,036
He said he could come up
with some photos of us
in a massage parlor.
225
00:13:03,848 --> 00:13:07,340
We started to pay him
and then decided
we'd regret it, huh?
226
00:13:07,418 --> 00:13:09,113
Anything you'd like to add?
227
00:13:09,220 --> 00:13:10,710
Some canned laughter.
228
00:13:11,455 --> 00:13:15,516
If a man of that caliber
is allowed to bring such
outrageous accusations
229
00:13:15,593 --> 00:13:17,993
against us through
your police department,
230
00:13:18,062 --> 00:13:20,496
then I believe we will
use other channels.
231
00:13:20,731 --> 00:13:22,130
That's right.
232
00:13:22,199 --> 00:13:23,894
You're scaring me
to death.
233
00:13:23,968 --> 00:13:25,833
Well, good night,
gentlemen.
234
00:13:25,903 --> 00:13:26,961
Dennis.
235
00:13:27,037 --> 00:13:28,629
Let's go, Jim.
236
00:13:34,445 --> 00:13:36,310
Good night, gentlemen?
237
00:13:36,380 --> 00:13:38,177
If Lieutenant Chapman
finds out
238
00:13:38,249 --> 00:13:39,648
I've been rousting tourists
from Michigan,
239
00:13:39,717 --> 00:13:42,049
I hope they remember
to tell him I was polite.
240
00:13:42,119 --> 00:13:45,953
Like you said, at least
they're on notice now that
the police are on notice.
241
00:13:46,023 --> 00:13:48,150
Could change
their homicide plans.
242
00:13:48,225 --> 00:13:50,022
Weird. They look
kind of straight.
243
00:13:50,094 --> 00:13:52,426
Must be something else
you can do, Dennis.
244
00:13:52,496 --> 00:13:54,430
I told you. I'm gonna
run 'em through R and I.
245
00:13:54,498 --> 00:13:56,363
You'd better start worrying
what they're gonna do.
246
00:13:56,433 --> 00:13:58,401
I don't think they're
very happy with you, Jimbo.
247
00:13:58,502 --> 00:14:00,333
What can they do?
248
00:14:00,404 --> 00:14:02,634
We can revoke
your investigator's license.
249
00:14:02,740 --> 00:14:05,709
Official complaint
of attempted blackmail
andlor extortion
250
00:14:05,776 --> 00:14:07,801
from the Attorney General's
office in Michigan.
251
00:14:07,945 --> 00:14:09,276
Your file.
252
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,677
I've never had the occasion
to examine one
this size before,
253
00:14:12,750 --> 00:14:16,117
and I've been with
the Bureau of Consumer Affairs
for 19 years.
254
00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:20,486
You seem to have some sort
of magnetic field that
attracts controversy.
255
00:14:20,558 --> 00:14:21,718
Your license, please.
256
00:14:21,792 --> 00:14:23,783
My license?
You want it now?
257
00:14:24,094 --> 00:14:25,083
Now.
258
00:14:25,429 --> 00:14:27,056
They've just brought charges.
259
00:14:27,131 --> 00:14:28,894
You're suspended,
Mr. Rockford.
260
00:14:28,966 --> 00:14:30,957
I'm forwarding this complaint
to the AG.
261
00:14:31,035 --> 00:14:33,560
There will be an
administrative hearing
within three days,
262
00:14:33,637 --> 00:14:36,071
at which time
a final determination
will be made.
263
00:14:36,674 --> 00:14:38,403
Mr. Rankin,
264
00:14:38,542 --> 00:14:41,807
are you interested
in hearing my account
of the events?
265
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:43,244
No.
266
00:14:44,815 --> 00:14:46,715
If I had been
bureau chief
267
00:14:46,984 --> 00:14:49,452
when you first applied
for your license,
268
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,581
with your prison record,
there wouldn't be
a license to revoke.
269
00:14:54,959 --> 00:14:57,189
That's all until the hearing.
270
00:15:06,603 --> 00:15:09,231
Weapon of suspect.
Cristophilos case.
271
00:15:09,339 --> 00:15:13,605
Dennis, I'm looking
into the muzzle of
a double-barreled bureaucrat.
272
00:15:13,810 --> 00:15:14,970
I don't see
how they could prosecute
273
00:15:15,044 --> 00:15:17,171
on the basis
of a few accusations.
274
00:15:17,247 --> 00:15:19,807
They can't, but it's enough
to burn my license.
275
00:15:19,883 --> 00:15:22,511
Rankin wants to see me
working in the car wash.
276
00:15:22,585 --> 00:15:24,280
I'll be at the hearing.
You won't be there alone.
277
00:15:24,354 --> 00:15:25,616
That's nice to know,
Dennis.
278
00:15:25,688 --> 00:15:28,213
But I would like to have
Lauren Ingeborg there, too,
279
00:15:28,291 --> 00:15:31,089
to explain why
these four chuckleheads are
trying to put her under.
280
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,186
Aren't you just
a bit curious of what
they're up to right now?
281
00:15:34,264 --> 00:15:35,731
I know what they're up to.
282
00:15:35,798 --> 00:15:39,029
They're out making depositions
at the administrative
procedures office.
283
00:15:39,102 --> 00:15:41,627
Their stats came in
from Washington.
284
00:15:41,771 --> 00:15:45,571
"Everett Alton Benson.
Distinguished Flying Cross,
World War II.
285
00:15:45,642 --> 00:15:49,510
"City councilman,

Knute Jacobs owns
a poultry farm.
292
00:16:06,663 --> 00:16:08,961
They all have a black belt
in respectability.
293
00:16:09,032 --> 00:16:11,557
Did you tell Lieutenant
Chapman these four
civic saints
294
00:16:11,634 --> 00:16:13,397
are offering $20,000?
295
00:16:13,469 --> 00:16:15,528
That's twice the going rate
for hired killers.
296
00:16:15,605 --> 00:16:18,267
Yeah. He said he can't
justify putting four
businessmen tourists
297
00:16:18,341 --> 00:16:19,399
under surveillance.
298
00:16:19,475 --> 00:16:21,773
With these stats
it's like staking out
the Vatican.
299
00:16:21,844 --> 00:16:25,507
Yeah. Lieutenant Chapman
doesn't stay up late
admiring me.
300
00:16:25,581 --> 00:16:30,177
After this is all over,
he's gonna put Rankin
on his Christmas card list.
301
00:16:31,220 --> 00:16:35,179
You know, Rankin's just
about to drop the pellet
on my license.
302
00:16:36,893 --> 00:16:38,690
What're you gonna do?
303
00:16:39,262 --> 00:16:41,787
Try to find Lauren Ingeborg
before they kill her.
304
00:17:56,105 --> 00:17:57,629
DEITWEILER:
Did you find out anything?
305
00:17:57,707 --> 00:17:59,004
BENSON:
Yeah, I found out plenty.
306
00:17:59,075 --> 00:18:01,339
I met this guy who's
gonna fix everything up
for us.
307
00:18:01,411 --> 00:18:03,879
Well, who was that fellow
that you were talking to?
308
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,444
He's a professional gambler
I met in Las Vegas.
309
00:18:07,517 --> 00:18:09,280
He knows a man there
who's experienced.
310
00:18:09,352 --> 00:18:12,116
I love the way you guys
are talking about this.
311
00:18:12,188 --> 00:18:14,053
Like you're ordering
room service.
312
00:18:14,123 --> 00:18:17,115
We are all getting
a little tired of your
negative attitude, Art.
313
00:18:17,193 --> 00:18:19,525
Think about what may happen
if you go through with it.
314
00:18:19,729 --> 00:18:22,027
Rockford already reported us
to the police.
315
00:18:22,098 --> 00:18:23,429
Rockford is through
with the game.
316
00:18:23,499 --> 00:18:25,296
He's hit the showers.
317
00:18:26,102 --> 00:18:29,594
Now, I'm gonna put an ad
in the show business paper.
318
00:18:29,672 --> 00:18:31,435
You know, the one
that the actors read.
319
00:18:31,507 --> 00:18:33,031
What kind of ad?
320
00:18:33,109 --> 00:18:34,940
Oh, something simple, like,
321
00:18:35,778 --> 00:18:39,111
"Lauren Ingeborg.
I have your profit-sharing
check,
322
00:18:39,182 --> 00:18:41,116
"signed Uncle Ev,"
with a phone number.
323
00:18:41,350 --> 00:18:42,612
I hope she doesn't see it.
324
00:18:42,985 --> 00:18:43,974
Hey.
325
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,853
Hey, downstairs,
in the corner is Ray Milland.
326
00:18:47,924 --> 00:18:51,087
And he's having lunch
with Jane Fonda.
327
00:18:59,235 --> 00:19:01,294
Excuse me.
Do you know Lauren Ingeborg?
328
00:19:01,370 --> 00:19:02,928
Oh, sure do.
She's right over there.
329
00:19:03,005 --> 00:19:04,700
Oh, thank you.
330
00:19:16,185 --> 00:19:17,209
Miss Ingeborg?
331
00:19:17,286 --> 00:19:18,310
Yes?
332
00:19:18,387 --> 00:19:19,479
My name's Jim Rockford.
333
00:19:19,555 --> 00:19:21,523
I'm late for a rehearsal.
Could this wait, please?
334
00:19:21,591 --> 00:19:23,286
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I guess it could wait,
335
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,224
but I think we ought to
talk about it right now.
336
00:19:25,661 --> 00:19:28,596
Do you have an uncle
named Everett Benson?
337
00:19:28,664 --> 00:19:29,756
Yes, I do. Why?
338
00:19:29,832 --> 00:19:31,663
He's in town.
He's trying to locate you.
339
00:19:31,734 --> 00:19:33,133
I'm a private investigator.
340
00:19:33,202 --> 00:19:34,829
He hired you
to try to find me?
341
00:19:34,904 --> 00:19:37,202
Well, he and Mr. Kelso
and two other men.
342
00:19:37,273 --> 00:19:39,104
Noah Deitweiler
and Knute Jacobs.
343
00:19:39,175 --> 00:19:42,303
Miss Ingeborg,
can you think of any reason
344
00:19:42,378 --> 00:19:44,107
why they might
wanna harm you?
345
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:46,148
I don't really know
how to tell you this,
346
00:19:46,215 --> 00:19:48,240
but they tried to hire me
to kill you.
347
00:19:48,317 --> 00:19:49,341
What?
348
00:19:49,418 --> 00:19:50,680
Yeah, $5,000 down,
349
00:19:50,753 --> 00:19:53,586
$15,000 after
I've arranged some
sort of fatal accident.
350
00:19:53,656 --> 00:19:55,817
Those men have no reason
to wanna have me killed.
351
00:19:55,892 --> 00:19:58,759
Well, I'd like to think
that's true,
but somehow I don't.
352
00:19:58,828 --> 00:20:01,228
I mean,
to look at them,
353
00:20:01,330 --> 00:20:06,768
they just don't seem to be
the kind of men who casually
go around hiring assassins.
354
00:20:07,069 --> 00:20:10,061
They're not. Now lookit,
I appreciate your concern
355
00:20:10,139 --> 00:20:12,539
and I'm grateful
for all the trouble you
went to try to find me,
356
00:20:12,608 --> 00:20:14,439
but I can handle it
from here. Okay?
357
00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:16,569
You think it's wise
after what I just told you?
358
00:20:16,646 --> 00:20:18,443
Lauren? You're holding
everybody up!
359
00:20:18,514 --> 00:20:20,675
Just a second, David.
I'm coming.
360
00:20:20,750 --> 00:20:23,241
Look, Mr. Rockford,
if my uncle has
a beef with me,
361
00:20:23,319 --> 00:20:24,513
then it's a family affair.
362
00:20:24,587 --> 00:20:27,818
Now I can deal with that
simply by discussing
the problem with him.
363
00:20:28,257 --> 00:20:31,055
You see, my Uncle Ev
has a very short fuse,
364
00:20:31,127 --> 00:20:33,595
and he usually gets excited
about nothing at all.
365
00:20:33,663 --> 00:20:35,756
Actually, I'm used to
his eccentric behavior.
366
00:20:39,202 --> 00:20:42,433
Oh, hey, could you tell me
where my uncle is staying?
367
00:20:42,505 --> 00:20:45,303
Under the circumstances,
that's the last thing I'd do.
368
00:20:45,841 --> 00:20:47,399
Well, that's
your prerogative.
369
00:20:47,510 --> 00:20:49,444
Excuse me,
I'm late for rehearsal.
370
00:21:13,436 --> 00:21:14,630
Hello?
371
00:21:14,704 --> 00:21:15,693
Uncle Ev?
372
00:21:15,771 --> 00:21:17,136
Oh, Lauren!
373
00:21:18,574 --> 00:21:20,007
Hey, how'd you know
where to find me?
374
00:21:20,176 --> 00:21:21,700
Oh, you saw the ad, huh?
375
00:21:22,111 --> 00:21:24,079
It's kind of hard to miss.
376
00:21:25,281 --> 00:21:28,478
I also saw your friend,
a Mr. Rockford.
377
00:21:28,551 --> 00:21:32,180
Friend? Biggest mistake
I ever made was
hiring that man.
378
00:21:32,255 --> 00:21:36,089
You see, Knute and I and Noah
and Art were appointed to
Mayor Berger's committee
379
00:21:36,158 --> 00:21:38,251
to buy some fire engines
out here,
380
00:21:38,327 --> 00:21:40,056
and Rockford worked for us
for awhile.
381
00:21:40,296 --> 00:21:42,560
Well, he said some
pretty strange things,
Uncle Ev.
382
00:21:42,632 --> 00:21:43,929
Like what?
383
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,797
Well, he said
384
00:21:46,836 --> 00:21:49,202
that you wanted to kill me.
385
00:21:49,272 --> 00:21:50,739
Is that what
that crumb said?
386
00:21:50,806 --> 00:21:52,797
I hired him to find you.
387
00:21:53,342 --> 00:21:56,607
You know, Aunt Ella's
been worried sick about
not hearing from you.
388
00:21:57,613 --> 00:22:01,879
Look, honey, you know me
and this big mouth of mine.
389
00:22:01,951 --> 00:22:04,385
Well, I had some drinks
with the fellow
390
00:22:04,787 --> 00:22:07,119
and just to sort of
fill him in on you,
you know,
391
00:22:08,124 --> 00:22:10,024
and, well, the more I talked,
the madder I got,
392
00:22:10,092 --> 00:22:12,083
thinking about what you
had put Ella through.
393
00:22:12,261 --> 00:22:16,027
Well, the next thing I know,
Rockford says that
for $20,000
394
00:22:16,232 --> 00:22:18,564
Ella won't have any more
aggravation from you.
395
00:22:18,701 --> 00:22:19,793
He'll kill you.
396
00:22:19,869 --> 00:22:21,598
Well, I threw him the hell
out of here
397
00:22:21,671 --> 00:22:23,901
and called the Attorney
General's office back home.
398
00:22:23,973 --> 00:22:25,497
Now he didn't
mention that, I'll bet.
399
00:22:25,608 --> 00:22:26,597
No, he didn't.
400
00:22:27,043 --> 00:22:31,139
Honey, you don't know
how great it is just
hearing your voice again.
401
00:22:32,014 --> 00:22:34,505
We've missed you,
and drop Ella a line.
402
00:22:34,583 --> 00:22:35,572
I will.
403
00:22:35,785 --> 00:22:39,221
Oh, and honey,
what do you want me to do
404
00:22:39,288 --> 00:22:41,449
with your profit-sharing
check?
405
00:22:41,657 --> 00:22:43,386
You want me
to mail it to you, or...
406
00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:45,488
Well, I don't suppose
you'd be free for dinner.
407
00:22:45,728 --> 00:22:46,717
Tonight?
408
00:22:46,796 --> 00:22:50,129
Well, the boys are talking
about maybe taking
a plane back home tomorrow
409
00:22:50,199 --> 00:22:52,531
and I hate to leave
without seeing you.
410
00:22:54,270 --> 00:22:57,831
Okay, how about if
I pick you up in front
of your hotel about 7:00.
411
00:22:57,907 --> 00:23:00,842
Oh, fine. Fine, honey.
I'll be waiting.
412
00:23:00,976 --> 00:23:03,069
All right.
Bye, bye-bye, Uncle Ev.
413
00:23:05,047 --> 00:23:07,447
This may be
our only opportunity.
414
00:23:09,251 --> 00:23:11,048
You don't mean us?
415
00:23:11,420 --> 00:23:13,547
What're you two
talking about?
416
00:23:13,622 --> 00:23:15,180
The Rockford plan
came up mud.
417
00:23:15,491 --> 00:23:16,515
We're gonna have to do it.
418
00:23:16,592 --> 00:23:19,789
Have you any idea
what it's like to actually
kill a human being?
419
00:23:19,862 --> 00:23:22,023
You know how many missions
I flew over Germany?
420
00:23:22,098 --> 00:23:24,862
I'm not talking
about dropping a bomb
from 11,000 feet.
421
00:23:25,835 --> 00:23:29,430
I'm talking about killing
face to face.
422
00:23:31,107 --> 00:23:32,699
First time I had to do it I...
423
00:23:33,809 --> 00:23:35,834
I threw up in my helmet
for a week.
424
00:23:35,911 --> 00:23:38,402
And it didn't get
much better.
425
00:23:40,282 --> 00:23:44,082
They fight!
They cling to life!
426
00:23:44,153 --> 00:23:47,884
It's bloody, messy,
ugly work!
427
00:23:49,458 --> 00:23:51,790
I'm not sure
I'm up to actually...
428
00:23:51,861 --> 00:23:53,226
You think I am?
429
00:23:53,295 --> 00:23:54,819
She's my niece.
430
00:23:55,664 --> 00:23:57,188
And, Art, you wanna talk
about throwing up?
431
00:23:57,266 --> 00:23:59,427
Then talk about
the federal penitentiary.
432
00:23:59,502 --> 00:24:03,199
Filthy, crawling with lice
and psychopaths, perverts.
433
00:24:03,606 --> 00:24:06,473
There is no statute
of limitations on tax fraud.
434
00:24:06,542 --> 00:24:10,239
She'll have us
under this cloud
for the rest of our lives.
435
00:24:13,249 --> 00:24:14,477
Art...
436
00:24:16,986 --> 00:24:17,975
Okay,
437
00:24:19,522 --> 00:24:22,821
we're gonna do it ourselves,
and we're gonna do it tonight.
438
00:24:24,460 --> 00:24:26,291
LAUREN:
It was a nice evening,
Uncle Ev.
439
00:24:26,362 --> 00:24:28,023
Thanks for dinner.
440
00:24:29,632 --> 00:24:32,226
You know, we could get
a $10 ticket for this.
441
00:24:32,301 --> 00:24:34,428
We're not
in Deer Lick Falls.
442
00:24:36,705 --> 00:24:38,935
Hey, you know,
I've got an idea.
Why don't we go to the...
443
00:24:49,351 --> 00:24:50,340
Are you all right?
444
00:24:52,955 --> 00:24:54,320
He wants me dead!
445
00:24:59,728 --> 00:25:02,458
How long does it take
to read a police report,
anyway?
446
00:25:02,565 --> 00:25:04,192
Quite awhile,
if you're Lieutenant Chapman.
447
00:25:04,266 --> 00:25:05,290
Oh, yeah.
448
00:25:05,401 --> 00:25:08,165
Sometimes he'll read
a report twice
if it's complicated.
449
00:25:08,337 --> 00:25:11,238
Actually, tonight
his attention span's
pretty good.
450
00:25:11,307 --> 00:25:13,832
How much of my story is
on that tax dodge report?
451
00:25:13,909 --> 00:25:16,707
Well, I only mentioned
that you contacted the
Internal Revenue in Michigan
452
00:25:16,779 --> 00:25:20,010
a couple of months ago with
the intention of reporting
some undeclared income
453
00:25:20,082 --> 00:25:22,949
and that your uncle
found out last week.
454
00:25:23,018 --> 00:25:25,509
Judy Turner probably
screamed every nasty thing
she could think of
455
00:25:25,588 --> 00:25:28,352
when she got fired,
including my call
to the IRS.
456
00:25:28,424 --> 00:25:32,986
How much income do you
estimate they wrote off
on that phony research farm?
457
00:25:33,095 --> 00:25:35,655
Three-quarters of
a million dollars
that I know of.
458
00:25:35,731 --> 00:25:39,724
Which means
that your reward would
come to about $75,000,
459
00:25:39,802 --> 00:25:42,032
and that their jail term
would be about 15 years.
460
00:25:42,104 --> 00:25:45,471
I'm not after any reward.
I just wanna get on
with my life.
461
00:25:45,541 --> 00:25:48,476
Oh, thanks for
following me all night.
462
00:25:48,611 --> 00:25:51,273
Especially after I was
so snotty at the theater.
463
00:25:51,347 --> 00:25:54,805
Well, Uncle Ev at least
picked up the tab for dinner.
464
00:25:55,417 --> 00:25:58,215
Dennis...
465
00:25:58,287 --> 00:26:00,312
Very thorough report
you have here.
466
00:26:00,389 --> 00:26:01,378
Thank you,
Lieutenant.
467
00:26:01,457 --> 00:26:03,857
There's quite a bit more,
but I figured when
we fill out the full...
468
00:26:03,926 --> 00:26:06,053
No, no, no, no, no, no.
You have it all here.
469
00:26:06,128 --> 00:26:09,928
Four reputable businessmen
come to LA to buy
some fire trucks
470
00:26:09,999 --> 00:26:12,399
and hire a Pl
to knock off a niece,
471
00:26:12,468 --> 00:26:14,834
who after being warned
has dinner with her uncle,
472
00:26:14,904 --> 00:26:16,895
who in turn gives her
an $1,800 check.
473
00:26:16,972 --> 00:26:18,439
I knew it. A root canal.
474
00:26:18,507 --> 00:26:23,877
After which, Uncle Ev,
a 32nd-degree Mason
from Deer Lick Falls,
475
00:26:23,946 --> 00:26:26,744
steers said niece in front
of a speeding vehicle driven
476
00:26:26,815 --> 00:26:29,443
by a deadly Scoutmaster
who owns a wheat farm.
477
00:26:29,518 --> 00:26:30,507
He did!
478
00:26:30,619 --> 00:26:34,180
All of this takes place
on a boulevard known
for fast and heavy traffic.
479
00:26:34,256 --> 00:26:36,520
That ought to get
an 80 on your laugh meter,
Lieutenant,
480
00:26:36,592 --> 00:26:39,857
but it should tell you
that these mild-mannered
respectable businessmen
481
00:26:39,929 --> 00:26:42,397
are scared enough
to try anything.
482
00:26:42,898 --> 00:26:44,195
I'm sorry, Miss Ingeborg,
483
00:26:44,266 --> 00:26:45,790
but unless I have
more substantiation
484
00:26:45,868 --> 00:26:48,894
and other witnesses,
I don't have the authority
to act.
485
00:26:48,971 --> 00:26:50,461
I could arrange
for a squad car
486
00:26:50,539 --> 00:26:52,302
to swing past your house
a couple of times a day.
487
00:26:52,374 --> 00:26:55,070
I knew you would understand,
Lieutenant.
488
00:26:55,144 --> 00:26:57,271
We better be moving,
Lauren.
489
00:26:59,248 --> 00:27:02,684
Dennis, I'd like to talk
to you for a minute.
490
00:27:15,197 --> 00:27:17,222
Your eggs is ready, sonny.
491
00:27:17,399 --> 00:27:18,491
LAUREN:
Boy, this is really great.
492
00:27:18,567 --> 00:27:21,559
Back in Michigan
we hardly ever have
Mexican dinner for breakfast.
493
00:27:21,804 --> 00:27:24,534
Hey, you better go
easy on dad's salsa.
494
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:26,407
We use it
to kill weeds, too.
495
00:27:28,777 --> 00:27:31,177
Well, now that's
very subtle, Rocky.
496
00:27:31,246 --> 00:27:33,339
Well, you gotta look
past tomorrow, don't you?
497
00:27:33,415 --> 00:27:35,542
He's circled some
job opportunities.
498
00:27:35,618 --> 00:27:37,916
Look, you may not be
a private investigator
anymore.
499
00:27:37,987 --> 00:27:40,046
Then what're you gonna do
for groceries, huh?
500
00:27:40,122 --> 00:27:41,180
Look here.
501
00:27:41,256 --> 00:27:44,885
There's a plant that needs
a security supervisor.
502
00:27:46,428 --> 00:27:47,952
A sewage disposal plant?
503
00:27:48,030 --> 00:27:49,258
Well, don't knock it.
Look at the money.
504
00:27:49,331 --> 00:27:50,696
Three and a half a week!
505
00:27:50,766 --> 00:27:51,926
And that ain't the only job.
506
00:27:52,001 --> 00:27:53,263
There's another one here.
507
00:27:53,335 --> 00:27:56,498
There's an insurance company
that needs an investigator.
508
00:27:56,572 --> 00:27:58,972
Dad, I don't need a job
just yet.
509
00:27:59,742 --> 00:28:03,542
That hearing is tomorrow.
You're liable to be
out on the street.
510
00:28:03,612 --> 00:28:05,011
Well, not if I can help it.
511
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,241
Besides, there's one thing
you keep forgetting, Dad.
512
00:28:07,316 --> 00:28:09,181
I like what I'm doing.
513
00:28:10,419 --> 00:28:11,977
Hey, come on,
you better move it along.
514
00:28:12,054 --> 00:28:13,078
Those offices open at 9:00.
515
00:28:13,155 --> 00:28:14,349
What offices?
516
00:28:14,423 --> 00:28:16,288
Well, once we get
your statement on record
517
00:28:16,358 --> 00:28:18,189
the Mayor's Committee's
gonna have to back off.
518
00:28:18,260 --> 00:28:19,852
The Internal Revenue?
519
00:28:19,928 --> 00:28:21,953
Well, I don't wanna
rush you,
520
00:28:22,031 --> 00:28:26,491
but with government offices
you have to get in by 9:00
just to get out by 5:00.
521
00:28:30,572 --> 00:28:33,097
Look, Noah, let me
get you a doctor.
522
00:28:33,242 --> 00:28:34,368
Oh, no.
There's no telling
523
00:28:34,443 --> 00:28:37,003
what kind of quack we'll get
here in California.
524
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,104
I'm feeling better.
525
00:28:39,515 --> 00:28:40,675
And as soon as
I'm strong enough,
526
00:28:40,749 --> 00:28:43,582
I'm gonna get on a plane
back to Deer Lick Falls.
527
00:28:43,652 --> 00:28:46,553
You guys really are
a comedy delight.
528
00:28:47,623 --> 00:28:49,955
Now look, Art,
there is no need
to start jumping on us.
529
00:28:50,025 --> 00:28:51,049
Why not?
530
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,851
You seem to be
the one pile-driving
this junket.
531
00:28:53,929 --> 00:28:56,659
Look,
I think we ought
to clear out.
532
00:28:57,232 --> 00:29:00,099
Sergeant Becker's liable
to knock on the door anytime
533
00:29:00,169 --> 00:29:01,864
with some pretty
harsh questions.
534
00:29:01,937 --> 00:29:05,896
Blow into town
like a trainload of
US country prime beef.
535
00:29:06,642 --> 00:29:08,234
Ev is intent on murder.
536
00:29:08,310 --> 00:29:09,709
Noah is gobbling heart pills,
537
00:29:09,778 --> 00:29:12,042
and Knute is trying to get
Ginger Rogers' autograph.
538
00:29:12,114 --> 00:29:15,743
And all of you idiots
are sort of trying
to knock off Lauren
539
00:29:15,818 --> 00:29:18,343
in-between rub-downs
at the Roman Palace.
540
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:20,615
We are doing
the best we can.
541
00:29:22,057 --> 00:29:24,617
From the beginning,
I tried to ice this thing.
542
00:29:24,693 --> 00:29:26,126
But you had to do it.
543
00:29:26,428 --> 00:29:28,726
Made an attempt on
her life last night...
544
00:29:29,531 --> 00:29:31,761
Now that changes everything.
545
00:29:31,900 --> 00:29:35,529
We just can't pack up
our extra suit and get
on the next jet.
546
00:29:35,604 --> 00:29:37,196
So, now you wanna
kill her?
547
00:29:37,272 --> 00:29:39,797
I don't want to.
I never wanted to.
548
00:29:40,409 --> 00:29:41,876
But now we have to.
549
00:29:42,010 --> 00:29:44,843
Her only protection now
is to go to the IRS.
550
00:29:44,947 --> 00:29:46,676
If she can prove
our tax liability,
551
00:29:46,749 --> 00:29:48,740
then she sets up a motive
552
00:29:48,817 --> 00:29:51,115
and we all go
into a trick bag.
553
00:29:52,554 --> 00:29:54,988
I don't know.
I'm getting confused.
554
00:29:56,458 --> 00:30:00,519
It all seemed
so easy before,
but after last night,
555
00:30:01,530 --> 00:30:04,522
I don't know. I didn't think
it would feel that way.
556
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:05,999
I didn't think I'd fail.
557
00:30:06,835 --> 00:30:09,167
So, I think that...
558
00:30:09,605 --> 00:30:11,163
I think that Noah is right.
559
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,764
I think we ought to
get out of town.
560
00:30:12,841 --> 00:30:14,502
Maybe if I wrote her
a letter.
561
00:30:14,576 --> 00:30:16,237
That's right.
Put it on paper.
562
00:30:16,311 --> 00:30:18,506
Something the DA
can enter as evidence.
563
00:30:19,481 --> 00:30:22,109
It's funny
what we've learned
about attempted murder.
564
00:30:22,885 --> 00:30:25,547
Failure seems to
up the ante.
565
00:30:26,255 --> 00:30:27,244
We're in.
566
00:30:28,257 --> 00:30:30,248
I don't wanna hear
any more about it.
567
00:30:30,626 --> 00:30:34,460
Look, Lauren's probably
already talked to the police,
568
00:30:34,530 --> 00:30:35,690
don't you think, Ev?
569
00:30:35,764 --> 00:30:37,561
So far,
they got nothing.
570
00:30:37,633 --> 00:30:39,828
You took the car back
to the garage before
it was missed,
571
00:30:39,902 --> 00:30:44,236
you used borrowed plates,
which is the only smart thing
you've done so far.
572
00:30:44,306 --> 00:30:47,571
So we gamble that the cops
are standing on a dime.
573
00:30:47,776 --> 00:30:52,304
We've got to arrange her
accident before the IRS
can process her statement,
574
00:30:52,381 --> 00:30:54,781
and that usually
takes some time.
575
00:30:55,184 --> 00:30:56,776
I'm gonna do it.
576
00:30:58,954 --> 00:31:01,184
When I left France,
I promised myself
577
00:31:02,391 --> 00:31:04,757
that I'd never take
another human life.
578
00:31:06,528 --> 00:31:11,056
And now over
a lousy bunch of tax credits.
579
00:31:11,967 --> 00:31:14,561
I really wanna get back
to Deer Lick Falls, Art.
580
00:31:15,504 --> 00:31:17,734
I'm worried about my heart.
581
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:19,298
Okay, Noah.
582
00:31:20,576 --> 00:31:22,544
But everybody else stays.
583
00:31:22,611 --> 00:31:25,239
Yeah. And we're all
in this together.
584
00:31:25,414 --> 00:31:27,006
And the first guy
who fouls up
585
00:31:27,082 --> 00:31:30,074
is gonna get shoved
under the wheels
of our new fire truck.
586
00:31:31,253 --> 00:31:33,983
I'm not about to see
this out in prison.
587
00:31:34,289 --> 00:31:36,689
I'm gonna make
you guys stand up.
588
00:31:37,059 --> 00:31:38,492
We're going to kill her
589
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,552
and we're going to do it
in the next 24 hours
590
00:31:41,630 --> 00:31:43,029
or less.
591
00:31:47,536 --> 00:31:49,436
LAUREN: A secretary
in my uncle's office
592
00:31:49,504 --> 00:31:51,404
told me that there
was a 10% reward
593
00:31:51,473 --> 00:31:54,271
for any information
on unreported income.
594
00:31:54,643 --> 00:31:58,101
I had gotten in an argument
with my uncle
595
00:31:58,580 --> 00:32:01,640
and I was feeling spiteful,
so I called the IRS.
596
00:32:02,317 --> 00:32:04,785
But you didn't follow through
on that initial call
to our Michigan office?
597
00:32:04,853 --> 00:32:07,481
Well, I thought the only thing
that the Internal Revenue
would do
598
00:32:07,556 --> 00:32:09,148
was make my uncle
pay his back taxes.
599
00:32:09,224 --> 00:32:11,818
When I learned that
he could go to prison
for 10 or 15 years,
600
00:32:11,894 --> 00:32:13,691
I dropped the whole thing
and then came out here.
601
00:32:13,795 --> 00:32:14,989
Uh-huh.
602
00:32:15,564 --> 00:32:17,259
Just what is your interest
in this complaint?
603
00:32:17,332 --> 00:32:18,890
Well, I'm
a private investigator.
604
00:32:18,967 --> 00:32:22,403
The four men
Miss Ingeborg mentioned
hired me to find her.
605
00:32:22,471 --> 00:32:23,836
May I see your license?
606
00:32:23,906 --> 00:32:26,534
Well, I'm afraid I don't
have it right now.
607
00:32:26,608 --> 00:32:29,202
The same four men
are trying to get
my license revoked.
608
00:32:29,278 --> 00:32:32,805
I see. So this is
in the nature of
a counter-complaint.
609
00:32:32,981 --> 00:32:34,005
No.
610
00:32:34,249 --> 00:32:38,276
No, Miss Ingeborg merely
wants you to take
her full statement.
611
00:32:38,353 --> 00:32:39,479
We will.
612
00:32:39,554 --> 00:32:42,114
Shouldn't be
more than a few weeks
till we verify it.
613
00:32:42,190 --> 00:32:45,421
Mr. Romney,
we have explained they tried
to kill her last night.
614
00:32:45,494 --> 00:32:47,291
She needs protection.
615
00:32:47,362 --> 00:32:50,092
With her full statement
on the record,
she'll have that protection.
616
00:32:50,165 --> 00:32:51,632
I understand that.
617
00:32:51,700 --> 00:32:54,965
Now you must understand
that last year
4,900 informers
618
00:32:55,037 --> 00:32:58,473
were paid over $20 million
in recovered revenue
by the IRS.
619
00:32:58,540 --> 00:33:01,668
Secretaries, bookkeepers,
ex-wives,
620
00:33:01,743 --> 00:33:03,711
usually someone with
some sort of grudge to settle.
621
00:33:03,946 --> 00:33:06,938
How much of that was paid
to the next of kin?
622
00:33:08,083 --> 00:33:10,108
We try to apprise everyone
of the risk involved
623
00:33:10,185 --> 00:33:12,153
before they accuse someone
of tax evasion.
624
00:33:12,454 --> 00:33:14,684
Threats usually follow
and attempts are made.
625
00:33:17,993 --> 00:33:20,894
You've been a great comfort,
Mr. Romney.
626
00:33:27,336 --> 00:33:30,601
All you're gonna need
is your overnight case
and a few essentials.
627
00:33:30,672 --> 00:33:33,937
Right, right.
I wanna get out of here,
believe me.
628
00:33:34,009 --> 00:33:38,036
First break I get,
and my understudy
gets to go on.
629
00:33:38,380 --> 00:33:40,007
I gotta to hide out.
630
00:33:40,082 --> 00:33:42,380
Oh, there'll be other plays.
631
00:33:43,251 --> 00:33:45,219
It took me four months
to get this one.
632
00:33:59,501 --> 00:34:01,401
Are you ready?
And nervous.
633
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:03,028
Yeah. Me, too.
634
00:34:38,673 --> 00:34:40,038
If you like Japanese food,
635
00:34:40,108 --> 00:34:43,168
there's
a little place down here
that serves great sashimi.
636
00:34:43,245 --> 00:34:44,712
Sounds good.
637
00:34:50,585 --> 00:34:53,884
You know, if I were you,
I wouldn't take
this hill so fast.
638
00:34:53,955 --> 00:34:55,946
It's because we don't
have any brakes.
639
00:34:56,024 --> 00:34:57,218
No brakes?
640
00:34:58,527 --> 00:35:00,017
No brakes.
641
00:35:13,775 --> 00:35:16,505
Okay, hang on.
642
00:35:25,420 --> 00:35:26,409
Oh!
643
00:35:29,391 --> 00:35:32,360
Well, what do you say
let's forget the sashimi
644
00:35:32,427 --> 00:35:34,327
and call it a day, huh?
645
00:35:38,133 --> 00:35:40,363
How much detail do
I have to go into, anyway?
646
00:35:40,435 --> 00:35:41,527
All of it.
647
00:35:41,670 --> 00:35:44,468
Make sure
all four of them
are implicated.
648
00:35:44,906 --> 00:35:46,965
The chemicals arranged
by Kelso,
649
00:35:47,042 --> 00:35:49,374
the phony fertilizer
provided by Jacobs,
650
00:35:49,444 --> 00:35:53,403
how they inflated
the cost of things
they actually did buy.
651
00:35:54,282 --> 00:35:55,579
What'd you find, Dad?
652
00:35:55,650 --> 00:35:56,674
Well, it's more like
what I didn't find.
653
00:35:56,751 --> 00:35:58,651
You know, you didn't have
a drop of brake fluid
in that car.
654
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:00,381
The hoses were just
dangling loose.
655
00:36:00,455 --> 00:36:01,513
Cut?
656
00:36:01,656 --> 00:36:03,283
Well, it was like the clamps
have been unscrewed
657
00:36:03,358 --> 00:36:05,258
and left to work loose
once you started moving.
658
00:36:05,327 --> 00:36:07,591
LAUREN:
So, we can't even prove
that it was deliberate?
659
00:36:07,662 --> 00:36:10,096
No, no, no.
That's our proof.
660
00:36:10,165 --> 00:36:13,225
Once you get all
that down on paper,
you're safe.
661
00:36:13,301 --> 00:36:16,498
Oh, I know a lot of folks
think it's okay to cheat
on your income tax,
662
00:36:16,571 --> 00:36:18,903
but what kind of an uncle
would wanna see his niece
663
00:36:18,974 --> 00:36:21,238
killed in a wreck
like you almost had?
664
00:36:21,309 --> 00:36:24,642
That's a different kind
of a critter than
a tax dodger.
665
00:36:24,713 --> 00:36:27,614
Well, for all they know,
they did kill her.
666
00:36:27,682 --> 00:36:29,115
You stick with that.
667
00:36:29,184 --> 00:36:31,345
I'll be back in awhile.
668
00:36:34,055 --> 00:36:35,579
I wish you'd slow
down a little.
669
00:36:35,657 --> 00:36:38,148
Dad, tomorrow my license
goes in the shredder.
670
00:36:38,226 --> 00:36:39,591
But even worse,
671
00:36:39,661 --> 00:36:42,960
she goes at the top of
the endangered species list.
672
00:36:45,867 --> 00:36:47,027
ANGEL: Why me?
673
00:36:47,102 --> 00:36:49,866
Because you like to
collect pictures of
dead presidents.
674
00:36:49,938 --> 00:36:52,031
Like Ulysses S. Grant.
675
00:36:52,140 --> 00:36:53,607
Fifty?
Uh-huh.
676
00:36:55,911 --> 00:36:57,378
There's only one
in there.
677
00:36:57,445 --> 00:36:59,743
Uh, listen, Jimmy, I...
678
00:37:00,448 --> 00:37:02,643
I got a poker game
with the guys
in the linotype room.
679
00:37:02,717 --> 00:37:03,706
Set it up.
680
00:37:03,785 --> 00:37:05,047
It's like shooting
ducks in a barrel.
681
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,109
Oh, come on, Angel.
682
00:37:06,188 --> 00:37:08,884
Those are the kinds of guys
that throw nickels around
like manhole covers.
683
00:37:08,957 --> 00:37:12,290
It's gonna take you
half the night just to get
10 bucks out of 'em.
684
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,023
Angel, this is $50
for 15 minutes work.
685
00:37:16,665 --> 00:37:18,895
That would be a more
efficient use of my time,
wouldn't it?
686
00:37:18,967 --> 00:37:20,594
Now you're gonna have
to wear a suit and a tie.
687
00:37:20,669 --> 00:37:22,534
Oh, come on, man.
Ties hurt.
688
00:37:22,604 --> 00:37:25,334
Okay, $5 more,
and that's it!
689
00:37:39,221 --> 00:37:40,745
Well, there's
nothing in this paper.
690
00:37:40,822 --> 00:37:42,653
If you didn't see them crash,
how do you know they did?
691
00:37:42,724 --> 00:37:44,919
I saw an ambulance
about five minutes later.
692
00:37:44,993 --> 00:37:46,051
You could have
followed them!
693
00:37:46,127 --> 00:37:47,924
Why don't you listen
when you're spoken to?
694
00:37:47,996 --> 00:37:49,759
I told you, I tried.
695
00:37:50,232 --> 00:37:53,963
I got onto a street
that put me on a freeway
to Santa Monica.
696
00:37:57,272 --> 00:37:59,672
It was an hour
before I got back.
697
00:38:00,342 --> 00:38:02,708
Hello, is this the theater
698
00:38:02,777 --> 00:38:04,608
where Inga Lauren
is appearing in...
699
00:38:11,152 --> 00:38:12,915
Oh. I'm sorry to hear that.
700
00:38:12,988 --> 00:38:14,285
What?
701
00:38:16,291 --> 00:38:17,690
She's in the hospital.
702
00:38:18,326 --> 00:38:20,123
Not expected to live.
703
00:38:23,865 --> 00:38:26,231
Well, I guess
that's that, huh?
704
00:38:27,702 --> 00:38:30,762
I suggest
we get packing, huh, Ev?
705
00:38:31,773 --> 00:38:33,673
Dear God. Knute's right.
706
00:38:33,742 --> 00:38:34,731
We better check out, Ev.
707
00:38:43,852 --> 00:38:46,343
Is Everett
Alton Benson here?
708
00:38:46,655 --> 00:38:47,815
Yes. That's me.
709
00:38:47,889 --> 00:38:49,322
William Milliken,
the Coroner's Office.
710
00:38:49,391 --> 00:38:51,518
This'll only take
a minute or two.
711
00:38:51,593 --> 00:38:53,151
I know how difficult
it must be for you...
712
00:38:53,228 --> 00:38:55,924
Did you say
the Coroner's Office?
713
00:38:57,032 --> 00:38:58,693
The hospital didn't
call you?
714
00:38:58,767 --> 00:39:00,132
Lauren is dead?
715
00:39:00,201 --> 00:39:01,190
I'm sorry.
716
00:39:01,269 --> 00:39:03,669
They had several
other calls to make,
other fatalities.
717
00:39:03,738 --> 00:39:05,467
We knew she had
an accident.
718
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,474
Was anyone else
killed or hurt?
719
00:39:07,542 --> 00:39:08,907
Oh, no, no.
She was alone.
720
00:39:08,977 --> 00:39:12,674
Malibu Canyon,
as you may know,
is a dangerous road.
721
00:39:12,814 --> 00:39:14,577
As a matter of fact,
her car went off
at nearly the...
722
00:39:14,649 --> 00:39:15,741
Her car?
723
00:39:15,817 --> 00:39:18,285
Yes, a '65 Mustang.
724
00:39:20,388 --> 00:39:22,583
How did you know
I was in Los Angeles?
725
00:39:22,657 --> 00:39:24,454
Your name and number
were in her purse...
726
00:39:24,526 --> 00:39:27,154
Along with an unusual
amount of pills.
727
00:39:27,395 --> 00:39:29,056
A sergeant from homicide
may give you a call.
728
00:39:29,130 --> 00:39:31,030
It's SOP whenever
drugs are involved.
729
00:39:31,099 --> 00:39:32,225
What do you need from us?
730
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:33,324
Arrangements
for the deceased.
731
00:39:33,401 --> 00:39:35,631
Whenever next of kin
from out-of-state
are present...
732
00:39:35,704 --> 00:39:37,296
Yeah. Well,
I'll take care of all that.
733
00:39:37,372 --> 00:39:40,637
Lauren will be buried
in Deer Lick Falls, Michigan.
734
00:39:40,709 --> 00:39:41,971
I'm the only relative.
735
00:39:42,043 --> 00:39:43,067
Well, fine.
736
00:39:43,144 --> 00:39:45,203
Then all we need is
your address for the final
death certificate,
737
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,145
and we'll mail it
to you in a few days.
738
00:39:47,215 --> 00:39:52,346
Will you arrange to have
her body shipped to
the Kenwood Mortuary?
739
00:39:52,654 --> 00:39:54,144
Fine. Fine.
Very good.
740
00:39:54,289 --> 00:39:58,749
And I'm, again, sorry
that the hospital didn't
prepare you for this.
741
00:39:58,827 --> 00:40:00,727
Yeah. Well,
that's all right,
Mr. Milliken.
742
00:40:00,795 --> 00:40:02,285
I understand.
743
00:40:02,497 --> 00:40:03,828
And thank you.
Thank you.
744
00:40:03,898 --> 00:40:05,422
Oh, my pleasure.
745
00:40:05,500 --> 00:40:07,798
I mean, it's the simplest case
that I've handled today.
746
00:40:07,869 --> 00:40:09,200
Thank you. Good-bye.
747
00:40:12,507 --> 00:40:14,498
How'd she get in her car?
748
00:40:14,809 --> 00:40:16,902
Lauren never
fooled around with drugs.
749
00:40:17,345 --> 00:40:20,678
She had too many
allergic reactions
to medication.
750
00:40:21,082 --> 00:40:24,074
Whatever happened,
I still suggest that we get
the hell out of here.
751
00:40:24,152 --> 00:40:25,141
It's over.
752
00:40:26,888 --> 00:40:27,877
Isn't it?
753
00:40:46,007 --> 00:40:46,996
Hello?
754
00:40:47,075 --> 00:40:49,543
I was sorry to hear about
your niece, Benson.
755
00:40:49,844 --> 00:40:52,142
I know how close
you two were.
756
00:40:52,247 --> 00:40:54,715
Well, you certainly got
the news fast, Rockford.
757
00:40:54,783 --> 00:40:58,014
Well, everybody knows
how bad the traffic is
out there.
758
00:40:58,086 --> 00:41:00,987
Especially at rush hour
on that Canyon Road.
759
00:41:01,389 --> 00:41:03,516
Hey, would you
tell Kelso
760
00:41:03,591 --> 00:41:05,422
that he owes me a couple
of pints of brake fluid.
761
00:41:05,493 --> 00:41:06,960
How'd she wind up
in her car?
762
00:41:07,128 --> 00:41:08,527
Hey, it beats me.
763
00:41:08,596 --> 00:41:09,858
But before the accident,
764
00:41:09,931 --> 00:41:12,764
she managed
to write down
the full particulars
765
00:41:12,834 --> 00:41:15,428
on that little
research farm of yours.
766
00:41:15,503 --> 00:41:16,936
And you have them.
767
00:41:17,005 --> 00:41:19,803
All the fascinating details,
including the 20,000 feet
768
00:41:19,874 --> 00:41:22,240
of irrigation pipe
that never went
in the ground.
769
00:41:22,310 --> 00:41:23,800
What're your terms?
770
00:41:23,878 --> 00:41:27,939
Well, as soon as
I hear the good news
about my license
771
00:41:28,016 --> 00:41:29,745
that you've withdrawn
the complaint,
772
00:41:29,818 --> 00:41:31,843
I'll tell you where you can
pick up Lauren's statement.
773
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:32,909
All right.
774
00:41:32,987 --> 00:41:34,352
We should have it
together by 3:00.
775
00:41:34,422 --> 00:41:38,119
The cash should be in
non-sequential serial numbers.
776
00:41:38,193 --> 00:41:39,558
Cash?
Cash?
777
00:41:39,627 --> 00:41:40,685
Yeah, well,
778
00:41:40,762 --> 00:41:41,820
you know,
incidental expenses.
779
00:41:41,896 --> 00:41:45,457
It came to
just a few pennies shy
of $100,000.
780
00:41:45,533 --> 00:41:50,800
Okay, I'll meet you three
blocks from the bank at
the La Canada shopping mall,
781
00:41:50,872 --> 00:41:51,998
just after the bank closes,
782
00:41:52,073 --> 00:41:53,870
on the benches
near the fountains.
783
00:41:55,643 --> 00:41:56,701
Hello?
784
00:41:56,778 --> 00:41:58,370
You can't get away
with this, Rockford.
785
00:41:58,446 --> 00:42:00,778
The delivery will
be fine today.
786
00:42:11,059 --> 00:42:13,550
It just doesn't stop.
It gets worse and worse.
787
00:42:13,628 --> 00:42:16,426
Like I told you would
happen from day one.
788
00:42:16,498 --> 00:42:19,092
That was nothing
but blackmail, sonny.
789
00:42:19,167 --> 00:42:21,465
Well, do you think
these guys are really
gonna believe
790
00:42:21,536 --> 00:42:24,767
that I'd go to this much
trouble just to get
my license back?
791
00:42:24,839 --> 00:42:26,363
Well, no,
I guess not, but...
792
00:42:26,441 --> 00:42:27,965
I gotta play it
greedy, Dad.
793
00:42:28,042 --> 00:42:30,636
I'm the only thing
standing between them
and the slammer.
794
00:42:30,712 --> 00:42:32,407
Yeah, but aren't you
pouring gasoline
all over yourself?
795
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,812
I mean, do they have
any alternative
to killing you?
796
00:42:36,351 --> 00:42:38,649
None that I can think of.
797
00:42:48,196 --> 00:42:50,187
Dear God, Art.
798
00:42:50,331 --> 00:42:51,855
I thought you told Ev
799
00:42:51,933 --> 00:42:53,628
you were gonna get
a deer rifle.
800
00:42:53,701 --> 00:42:56,033
Why don't you tell him
I didn't?
801
00:43:03,344 --> 00:43:04,504
Will you forget
about that, Art?
802
00:43:04,579 --> 00:43:05,910
There's no way
we can use it.
803
00:43:05,980 --> 00:43:07,447
We're meeting him
at a shopping center.
804
00:43:07,515 --> 00:43:10,973
Knute got a call at the bank.
Noah is in coronary care.
805
00:43:11,352 --> 00:43:14,844
He keeled over when
he was making out
the bank draft.
806
00:43:17,025 --> 00:43:18,424
We have no money
for Rockford.
807
00:43:49,357 --> 00:43:50,984
How you be, brother?
808
00:43:51,059 --> 00:43:52,549
Oh, fine, thank you.
809
00:43:52,627 --> 00:43:55,721
Don't thank me.
Thank Him.
810
00:44:24,292 --> 00:44:25,486
You wanna hand
that over, Knute,
811
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,723
so I can do a little
quick accounting, huh?
812
00:44:28,796 --> 00:44:30,787
This...
This is the original?
813
00:44:30,865 --> 00:44:31,889
Yeah.
814
00:44:31,966 --> 00:44:34,025
You'll just have to take
my word for it,
there are no copies.
815
00:44:34,936 --> 00:44:36,335
What's in the bag, Knute?
816
00:44:36,404 --> 00:44:37,428
This is the money.
817
00:44:37,505 --> 00:44:40,235
Wait till Ev
looks over the list...
818
00:44:41,376 --> 00:44:42,741
All right.
Where's Kelso?
819
00:44:47,749 --> 00:44:49,410
Dennis, he's on the balcony!
820
00:44:49,484 --> 00:44:51,076
Dennis!
All units go!
821
00:44:51,352 --> 00:44:53,343
WOMAN: Up there!
Look out!
822
00:44:56,124 --> 00:44:58,649
Police! Freeze!
Drop it!
823
00:45:00,228 --> 00:45:01,217
Drop it!
824
00:45:34,428 --> 00:45:36,953
You wanna excuse me
while I go call Lauren?
825
00:45:37,030 --> 00:45:38,088
Who?
826
00:45:38,165 --> 00:45:39,655
Lauren, your niece.
827
00:45:39,733 --> 00:45:42,224
Appearing live on stage
every night, Uncle Ev.
828
00:45:43,904 --> 00:45:45,633
Hey, man, you don't
have to take this slop
from these pigs!
829
00:45:45,706 --> 00:45:47,139
Get away from me.
830
00:45:47,207 --> 00:45:50,074
These imperialist lackeys,
man, don't let them
shove you around.
831
00:45:50,143 --> 00:45:51,201
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
832
00:45:51,278 --> 00:45:52,575
Hey, come on, read
this dude his Miranda.
833
00:45:54,614 --> 00:45:58,744
Yea, verily I say unto you,
brother, button it.
834
00:46:02,189 --> 00:46:03,281
LAUREN: Here we are.
835
00:46:03,356 --> 00:46:05,051
You don't owe me
$1,800.
836
00:46:05,125 --> 00:46:06,319
You didn't hire me.
837
00:46:06,393 --> 00:46:08,725
You have to take it
'cause it's endorsed to you.
838
00:46:08,795 --> 00:46:10,524
And if there should be
some money left over...
839
00:46:10,597 --> 00:46:12,963
Eighteen C's?
Is that what the IRS
paid you
840
00:46:13,033 --> 00:46:14,762
for informing
on your relatives?
841
00:46:14,835 --> 00:46:17,895
I just love the way
you put things, Angel.
842
00:46:18,004 --> 00:46:20,564
It's her
profit-sharing check.
843
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:24,269
We figure her 10%
of whatever the IRS collects
on the research farm
844
00:46:24,344 --> 00:46:27,507
will come closer
to $75,000.
845
00:46:30,484 --> 00:46:32,213
Seventy-five G's?
846
00:46:32,819 --> 00:46:34,047
Mmm-hmm.
847
00:46:34,121 --> 00:46:35,588
Hey, I know this reporter
down at the paper,
848
00:46:35,655 --> 00:46:38,818
claims he ain't paid
no income tax on his
freelance work in five years.
849
00:46:38,892 --> 00:46:41,486
Brags about it.
And my brother-in-law, Aaron,
850
00:46:42,095 --> 00:46:43,960
he takes this big, fat
deduction on his sauna room,
851
00:46:44,030 --> 00:46:46,726
claims that it's
some kind of prescription
medical device.
852
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:48,495
You're a great friend
to have, Angel.
853
00:46:48,568 --> 00:46:51,093
Jimmy, I'm talking about
civic duty here.
854
00:46:51,171 --> 00:46:53,469
I mean, these tax felons make
the guys like you and me
855
00:46:53,540 --> 00:46:55,337
and your poor old dad here,
got to cough up.
856
00:46:55,408 --> 00:46:57,273
Hey, I ain't poor.
I ain't old, neither!
857
00:46:58,678 --> 00:46:59,804
Let me ask you
a question.
858
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,144
When you go down
to the IRS, you go
down in person?
859
00:47:02,415 --> 00:47:05,350
Hey... Hey, when it comes
to civic duty, Angel,
860
00:47:05,418 --> 00:47:06,885
what's a little
inconvenience?
861
00:47:06,953 --> 00:47:08,545
Really. Really.
That's true.
862
00:47:08,622 --> 00:47:10,988
Listen, you know there's
probably more guys fudging
on the income tax
863
00:47:11,057 --> 00:47:12,149
than we know about.
864
00:47:12,225 --> 00:47:13,283
Guys that get
paid in cash.
865
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:14,349
Guys like you.
866
00:47:14,461 --> 00:47:15,519
Angel.
867
00:47:15,595 --> 00:47:16,653
Hey, I'm giving you
a for instance.
868
00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:18,789
What, am I
gonna tell on you,
old buddy-buddy?
869
00:47:18,865 --> 00:47:21,356
No, it's these big scoff-laws
that get my goat.
870
00:47:21,434 --> 00:47:23,061
Yeah, like your
brother-in-law, Aaron.
871
00:47:23,136 --> 00:47:24,160
Yeah.
872
00:47:24,237 --> 00:47:25,966
I am starved.
Anybody for pizza?
873
00:47:26,039 --> 00:47:28,098
Oh, sounds fantastic.
Yes.
874
00:47:28,175 --> 00:47:29,199
Yes, sir.
875
00:47:29,276 --> 00:47:30,766
You won't need a coat.
It's just across the street.
876
00:47:30,844 --> 00:47:32,277
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
I gotta call my sister
877
00:47:32,345 --> 00:47:33,573
and tell her
I'm not coming for dinner.
878
00:47:33,647 --> 00:47:36,013
Yeah. That ought to help your
brother-in-law's appetite.
