Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,833
I want to file an assault and battery complaint...
2
00:00:03,903 --> 00:00:06,463
and I'll give you a tip on a kidnapping.
3
00:00:11,878 --> 00:00:14,676
I was told that you were very reliable.
4
00:00:14,747 --> 00:00:17,011
Reliable, but chicken.
5
00:00:17,083 --> 00:00:20,075
Would you let go of my hand? I think you're gonna break my fingers.
6
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:23,350
If our stock goes down two or three points...
7
00:00:23,422 --> 00:00:26,585
it could cost the company in the neighborhood of $10 million.
8
00:00:26,692 --> 00:00:28,683
Did I catch over my limit or what?
9
00:00:29,028 --> 00:00:30,495
You're under arrest.
10
00:00:34,467 --> 00:00:36,526
This is Jim Rockford.
11
00:00:36,602 --> 00:00:38,297
At the tone, leave your name and message.
12
00:00:38,371 --> 00:00:39,497
I'll get back to you.
13
00:00:40,673 --> 00:00:43,608
Hey, Jimmy. This here is Dennis Garot. Remember me?
14
00:00:43,843 --> 00:00:46,744
From the Army. I'm stuck here in town.
15
00:00:46,813 --> 00:00:48,940
How about I come over and bunk with you, buddy?
16
00:01:59,784 --> 00:02:02,810
I don't care whether that happens or not.
17
00:02:03,355 --> 00:02:04,617
Listen, Morrie.
18
00:02:04,689 --> 00:02:08,318
You're up to your sweet tail in stock options and fringes...
19
00:02:08,393 --> 00:02:12,090
so don't give me a lot of bull about what you can do or what you can't do.
20
00:02:12,163 --> 00:02:14,757
You just get it done, or I'm gonna cut off your water...
21
00:02:14,833 --> 00:02:16,960
and leave you swinging in the breeze.
22
00:02:21,873 --> 00:02:24,501
Okay, you do that, then you get back to me.
23
00:02:32,050 --> 00:02:34,245
You see the Center City finance quotes?
24
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,777
Yeah. It's falling out of bed. Down five-eighths.
25
00:02:38,323 --> 00:02:40,257
We keep the pressure on and the rumors flying...
26
00:02:40,325 --> 00:02:43,055
we'll be able to pick up that thing for pocket change.
27
00:02:46,498 --> 00:02:49,023
You seen Alec Morris around last couple of days?
28
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,624
No. Why?
29
00:02:51,970 --> 00:02:54,438
Morrie says he called in sick.
30
00:02:55,674 --> 00:02:57,801
He's been acting funny. Talking about resigning.
31
00:02:57,876 --> 00:02:59,901
Maybe you better find him.
32
00:03:00,278 --> 00:03:03,042
Why worry? He's fixed. He's okay.
33
00:03:04,049 --> 00:03:07,712
Look, Stan, when I want to argue, I go home to Phyllis.
34
00:03:08,486 --> 00:03:09,783
Find him.
35
00:03:11,556 --> 00:03:14,024
I want to take his blood pressure.
36
00:03:15,527 --> 00:03:19,361
Okay, Leon. I'll have him here tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.
37
00:03:41,119 --> 00:03:44,452
Are you Jim Rockford? Yes. Sorry, can't shake hands.
38
00:03:44,522 --> 00:03:46,752
I've been fixing my garbage disposal.
39
00:03:46,825 --> 00:03:48,884
I've been pawing around down in there.
40
00:03:50,495 --> 00:03:52,861
May I come in? It depends on what you want.
41
00:03:52,931 --> 00:03:54,922
You buying, selling, or collecting?
42
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,468
I'm hoping I might arrange for your services.
43
00:03:57,535 --> 00:03:59,469
Buying. Come on in.
44
00:04:01,006 --> 00:04:03,804
I'm sorry, but I'm always a little cautious about men...
45
00:04:03,875 --> 00:04:06,537
wearing pinstripe suits with briefcases.
46
00:04:08,046 --> 00:04:11,015
Yeah, I'm a sucker for the Encyclopedia.
47
00:04:11,549 --> 00:04:15,178
In my lifetime, I have bought three complete sets.
48
00:04:16,021 --> 00:04:18,717
You're joking, of course. Yeah.
49
00:04:19,657 --> 00:04:22,421
You said you were interested in my service.
50
00:04:22,794 --> 00:04:24,193
Well, I...
51
00:04:24,596 --> 00:04:28,225
Are we alone, Mr. Rockford? You're looking at the whole spread.
52
00:04:30,435 --> 00:04:35,270
If what I say sounds slightly bizarre, I hope you'll...
53
00:04:39,878 --> 00:04:42,711
You any good at fixing garbage disposals?
54
00:04:44,149 --> 00:04:47,380
Have you tried the reset button? Yeah. Nothing.
55
00:04:47,786 --> 00:04:50,846
Come on over. You can kibitz while I try to fix this thing.
56
00:04:53,491 --> 00:04:55,049
Yeah, go ahead.
57
00:04:55,427 --> 00:04:58,225
I'm involved in something very dangerous, Mr. Rockford...
58
00:04:58,296 --> 00:05:00,287
and I'm involved very deeply.
59
00:05:00,365 --> 00:05:03,732
What I need is somebody to act as a go-between...
60
00:05:03,802 --> 00:05:06,532
a kind of liaison agent...
61
00:05:06,604 --> 00:05:09,038
between me and several Federal agencies.
62
00:05:10,108 --> 00:05:12,372
It'll depend on several inquiries that I've made...
63
00:05:12,444 --> 00:05:14,503
What? Don't do that.
64
00:05:15,246 --> 00:05:18,079
Put your hand in there like that when the switch is on.
65
00:05:20,085 --> 00:05:21,313
Thanks.
66
00:05:23,421 --> 00:05:26,322
What did you say you're involved in, Mister...
67
00:05:26,391 --> 00:05:30,521
I'd rather not tell you my name just yet. Would you mind if I didn't?
68
00:05:30,595 --> 00:05:31,687
Look, it's your name.
69
00:05:31,763 --> 00:05:35,164
You should be able to give it out or keep it as you like.
70
00:05:35,233 --> 00:05:37,827
Would you hand me that broom, please?
71
00:05:43,007 --> 00:05:45,532
Would you be willing to act...
72
00:05:45,610 --> 00:05:48,101
in such a capacity, Mr. Rockford?
73
00:05:48,179 --> 00:05:51,012
You said it was dangerous. How dangerous?
74
00:05:51,950 --> 00:05:53,577
I'm not certain.
75
00:05:53,718 --> 00:05:56,915
Yeah, in all candor, if it's really dangerous...
76
00:05:57,122 --> 00:05:59,454
I don't think I'd be particularly interested.
77
00:05:59,657 --> 00:06:03,718
I don't understand. I was told that you were very reliable.
78
00:06:04,529 --> 00:06:06,690
Reliable, but chicken.
79
00:06:07,298 --> 00:06:09,732
Would you flip the switch for me, please?
80
00:06:11,236 --> 00:06:15,172
Look, I don't mean to be glib, but if you don't tell me what the trouble is...
81
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,765
I'm not gonna agree to help you. It's as simple as that.
82
00:06:17,842 --> 00:06:20,276
It's so bizarre, I don't think anybody will believe me.
83
00:06:20,345 --> 00:06:22,745
That's part of the problem, you see.
84
00:06:24,782 --> 00:06:26,579
That's my dad.
85
00:06:27,252 --> 00:06:30,016
He said he'd come over and help me fix this thing.
86
00:06:30,655 --> 00:06:32,850
He's the one that jammed it up.
87
00:06:46,971 --> 00:06:49,872
Hey, pal, will you give me a little help here?
88
00:07:02,853 --> 00:07:05,481
Hey, Jimmy. You in there, Son?
89
00:07:06,123 --> 00:07:08,114
Hey, sonny, you in there?
90
00:07:25,342 --> 00:07:28,311
Here. You okay?
91
00:07:28,845 --> 00:07:31,814
What happened? I don't know. Wait a minute.
92
00:07:32,115 --> 00:07:33,810
Yeah, I'm all right.
93
00:07:33,884 --> 00:07:36,284
I told you to stay away from that thing till I got here.
94
00:07:36,353 --> 00:07:38,378
You're supposed to turn the current off first.
95
00:07:38,455 --> 00:07:41,151
Otherwise, you'd get burnt good and brown.
96
00:07:41,858 --> 00:07:43,052
Oh, no!
97
00:07:43,694 --> 00:07:47,357
You didn't get hit? It was the disposer, wasn't it?
98
00:07:47,431 --> 00:07:50,923
Yeah, it was the disposer, Rocky. Give me a hand, will you?
99
00:07:51,001 --> 00:07:54,459
You ain't on a case, right? Right. I'm not on a case.
100
00:07:58,976 --> 00:08:00,443
What are you looking for?
101
00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:03,411
A guy in a pinstripe suit, carrying a briefcase.
102
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,879
Somebody hit you.
103
00:08:04,948 --> 00:08:08,975
Rocky, don't come down on me now. Jim, if you weren't such a...
104
00:08:11,788 --> 00:08:13,983
What are you doing? I'm calling Doc Wheaten.
105
00:08:14,057 --> 00:08:17,026
I don't want to see Doc Wheaten. Well, that's tough.
106
00:08:17,527 --> 00:08:18,619
Look, I'm your father.
107
00:08:18,695 --> 00:08:21,960
I got an interest in whether or not your head is leaking on the inside.
108
00:08:22,032 --> 00:08:25,263
Now, you're getting so dumb I'm gonna have to take you out for walks...
109
00:08:25,335 --> 00:08:27,166
and hold your hand in the market.
110
00:08:27,237 --> 00:08:29,603
You're funny, Rocky. You're funny. Not really.
111
00:08:29,673 --> 00:08:32,665
All right, you want to be a dummy, go ahead.
112
00:08:32,743 --> 00:08:36,179
But if I was you, I'd get myself a helmet and I'd sleep in it...
113
00:08:36,246 --> 00:08:40,273
'cause them head smashers is starting to line up for turns at you.
114
00:08:42,352 --> 00:08:47,221
Rocky, I'm okay. Really, I am. Did you try the reset button?
115
00:08:47,291 --> 00:08:49,691
Yeah. Did you try the broom handle?
116
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,354
Yeah. Are you gonna call the cops?
117
00:08:54,364 --> 00:08:57,299
I don't think they'd want to fix it for me.
118
00:08:58,302 --> 00:09:00,429
That ain't really very funny.
119
00:09:00,671 --> 00:09:04,767
You get on that phone and call the cops. Tell them what happened.
120
00:09:04,841 --> 00:09:06,536
Okay, I'll call them.
121
00:09:24,328 --> 00:09:25,989
Lt. Becker, please.
122
00:09:29,966 --> 00:09:32,696
Becker. Dennis, this is Jim.
123
00:09:32,936 --> 00:09:34,904
You gonna be around for about an hour or so?
124
00:09:35,072 --> 00:09:36,232
Yeah. What's up?
125
00:09:36,740 --> 00:09:39,641
I want to file an assault and battery complaint...
126
00:09:39,710 --> 00:09:42,178
and I'll give you a tip on a kidnapping.
127
00:09:43,847 --> 00:09:46,975
Who got beat up? Who else?
128
00:10:13,377 --> 00:10:16,210
Are you Mr. Rockford, the private detective?
129
00:10:16,279 --> 00:10:17,678
Yes, ma'am.
130
00:10:17,914 --> 00:10:20,246
Could I speak to you for a moment?
131
00:10:20,317 --> 00:10:22,911
Sure. Would you care to sit down?
132
00:10:26,957 --> 00:10:28,322
What is it?
133
00:10:28,392 --> 00:10:31,589
Have you been working for man named Alec Morris?
134
00:10:32,996 --> 00:10:34,395
I don't think so.
135
00:10:34,464 --> 00:10:36,557
He said if anything happened to him,
136
00:10:36,633 --> 00:10:38,794
I should get in touch with Jim Rockford.
137
00:10:39,302 --> 00:10:41,031
What does he look like?
138
00:10:41,905 --> 00:10:46,399
He's 6 foot, he weighs 180 pounds... Is his hair gray?
139
00:10:48,245 --> 00:10:50,509
Then you do know where he is?
140
00:10:50,981 --> 00:10:52,846
He came to my place last night.
141
00:10:52,916 --> 00:10:55,146
He didn't tell me what his name was or what he wanted.
142
00:10:55,218 --> 00:10:57,880
He just told me that he needed a go-between.
143
00:10:57,954 --> 00:11:01,947
We never got too far into it 'cause two men broke into my place...
144
00:11:02,025 --> 00:11:04,960
and they knocked me out, grabbed him and left.
145
00:11:05,262 --> 00:11:08,390
No. Who is he?
146
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:12,767
My husband. Alec is my husband.
147
00:11:13,437 --> 00:11:16,065
I'm sorry, Mrs. Morris. I didn't know.
148
00:11:17,107 --> 00:11:21,737
He wouldn't talk about it, but something in that company scared him.
149
00:11:22,746 --> 00:11:26,739
Where does he work? Fiscal Dynamics Incorporated.
150
00:11:26,817 --> 00:11:28,444
The conglomerate?
151
00:11:28,518 --> 00:11:31,919
Alec is the head computer programmer for the company.
152
00:11:33,990 --> 00:11:36,049
Will you help me find him?
153
00:11:36,493 --> 00:11:38,927
Well, Mrs. Morris, it's an open police case
154
00:11:38,995 --> 00:11:41,293
and I don't work on open cases.
155
00:11:41,431 --> 00:11:45,094
The police? How are they involved? I didn't call them.
156
00:11:45,168 --> 00:11:46,294
I did.
157
00:11:46,903 --> 00:11:50,737
Alec told me not to call the police. He was very firm about it.
158
00:11:50,807 --> 00:11:53,241
He was kidnapped and I was assaulted.
159
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:54,675
When things like that happen...
160
00:11:54,744 --> 00:11:57,804
the usual procedure is to go to the police and tell them.
161
00:11:57,881 --> 00:12:00,179
But don't you see...
162
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:03,276
if Alec was kidnapped and the police are involved...
163
00:12:03,353 --> 00:12:05,753
that might jeopardize his safety.
164
00:12:05,956 --> 00:12:07,253
That's a myth.
165
00:12:07,324 --> 00:12:11,226
Believe me, the police know how to handle these things better than you and me.
166
00:12:11,928 --> 00:12:13,657
What are you doing?
167
00:12:13,730 --> 00:12:16,893
Last night, when I made the report, I didn't have your husband's name.
168
00:12:16,967 --> 00:12:20,903
Now I'm gonna have to give it to them. No, please. Don't!
169
00:12:20,971 --> 00:12:23,098
I don't have any choice, Mrs. Morris.
170
00:12:23,173 --> 00:12:25,505
If I know something and I don't tell them...
171
00:12:25,575 --> 00:12:28,271
that's withholding evidence, which is a felony.
172
00:12:56,773 --> 00:12:58,206
Hi, fellows, what's going on?
173
00:12:58,275 --> 00:12:59,867
You James Rockford, the P. I?
174
00:13:00,377 --> 00:13:03,608
Yeah. I'm not a private investigator today, I'm a fisherman.
175
00:13:03,747 --> 00:13:05,339
It's pretty good fishing today.
176
00:13:05,415 --> 00:13:08,043
Too many for me, if you like fish, I'd be glad to split them.
177
00:13:08,118 --> 00:13:10,052
Just keep your hands right there.
178
00:13:12,923 --> 00:13:16,654
What's going on? Did I catch over my limit or what?
179
00:13:17,427 --> 00:13:19,190
You're under arrest.
180
00:13:19,262 --> 00:13:22,561
Anything you say can be held against you. You have a right to an attorney.
181
00:13:22,632 --> 00:13:25,396
If you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.
182
00:13:26,102 --> 00:13:27,899
Damn! What was that?
183
00:13:28,705 --> 00:13:32,539
I'm just getting a little sick of this. Works both ways.
184
00:13:39,583 --> 00:13:43,144
Okay, you're waiving your right to your attorney. Is that right?
185
00:13:43,219 --> 00:13:46,711
I'm not waiving anything. I just don't see any point...
186
00:13:47,190 --> 00:13:48,817
in running up a lot of lawyers fees...
187
00:13:48,892 --> 00:13:51,452
till you know whether you're really in the omelet, right?
188
00:13:52,562 --> 00:13:55,827
I found out about you from CICD.
189
00:13:56,733 --> 00:13:59,361
You know, guys with records should be careful...
190
00:13:59,436 --> 00:14:02,405
about playing games with the police department, Jimmy.
191
00:14:02,472 --> 00:14:07,000
Yeah, that makes sense. What kind of game was I playing, Danny?
192
00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:10,843
I got a call on you. I got a tip you're a wise guy.
193
00:14:11,748 --> 00:14:14,945
So I figured we wouldn't waste time going through P.D.
194
00:14:15,118 --> 00:14:18,747
Since you're cold on this thing, we'll just have a chat...
195
00:14:18,822 --> 00:14:21,256
and turn you over to the county.
196
00:14:21,324 --> 00:14:23,986
You're beginning to violate my rights.
197
00:14:24,494 --> 00:14:26,485
I have a report here signed by you...
198
00:14:26,563 --> 00:14:31,330
stating that a man named Alec Morris was kidnapped while in your presence.
199
00:14:31,935 --> 00:14:36,668
Do you acknowledge making this report? Yeah, he was out at my place.
200
00:14:36,773 --> 00:14:41,176
A couple of guys came in and knocked me down and out and towed him away.
201
00:14:41,344 --> 00:14:45,576
Later, his wife came to me and said he'd been afraid...
202
00:14:45,649 --> 00:14:48,447
and it all had something to do with Fiscal Dynamics.
203
00:14:48,518 --> 00:14:52,818
That doesn't make a lot of sense, does it? I mean, the part about FDI.
204
00:14:54,090 --> 00:14:56,490
No, I got to admit that that did bother me a little...
205
00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,550
but that's what she said.
206
00:14:59,362 --> 00:15:01,796
The police talked to Alec Morris.
207
00:15:02,232 --> 00:15:05,167
He says that no such event ever took place.
208
00:15:05,402 --> 00:15:08,838
That makes you guilty of making a false police report.
209
00:15:09,439 --> 00:15:11,236
You think that's funny or something?
210
00:15:11,307 --> 00:15:15,243
You get your jollies wasting the time of the police department?
211
00:15:15,912 --> 00:15:17,140
I told you what happened.
212
00:15:17,213 --> 00:15:20,910
You're in trouble, Rockford. We don't think this is much of a joke.
213
00:15:20,984 --> 00:15:25,444
As a matter of fact, just to show you how unfunny we think it is...
214
00:15:26,322 --> 00:15:29,587
we're gonna drop you in the county bucket for six months.
215
00:15:35,732 --> 00:15:38,633
Where did you ever learn to be such a jerk?
216
00:15:41,404 --> 00:15:42,496
Getting worried?
217
00:15:42,572 --> 00:15:44,904
Maybe the guy who was taken out of my trailer...
218
00:15:44,974 --> 00:15:48,000
isn't the same guy you talked to. Did you ever think of that?
219
00:15:49,212 --> 00:15:51,373
Send in Mr. And Mrs. Morris.
220
00:15:58,888 --> 00:16:00,150
Morning, Mr. Morris.
221
00:16:02,859 --> 00:16:06,056
What's going on? What's happening? You recognize them?
222
00:16:06,696 --> 00:16:07,788
Yeah.
223
00:16:08,565 --> 00:16:12,194
What are you trying to do, Mister... Rockford's the name.
224
00:16:12,268 --> 00:16:16,204
He knows my name. I've never seen you before.
225
00:16:16,272 --> 00:16:19,298
For the life of me, I can't understand why do you say that I have...
226
00:16:19,375 --> 00:16:21,036
or that I was kidnapped.
227
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,540
How about you? I feel very sorry for you.
228
00:16:27,083 --> 00:16:29,779
You must have a deep emotional problem.
229
00:16:30,186 --> 00:16:32,051
I'm beginning to get one.
230
00:16:32,122 --> 00:16:34,249
Thanks for coming by, Mr. And Mrs. Morris.
231
00:16:34,324 --> 00:16:36,792
I'll have a car take you back to your house.
232
00:16:43,266 --> 00:16:44,665
I don't know about you, Jimmy,
233
00:16:44,734 --> 00:16:48,067
but I think you're in the omelet.
234
00:16:51,808 --> 00:16:54,038
I want to talk to my attorney.
235
00:17:00,578 --> 00:17:02,808
You get those papers over to me this afternoon.
236
00:17:02,881 --> 00:17:05,907
Make sure your father co-signs that note. Okay, Solly.
237
00:17:02,984 --> 00:17:05,384
I better have the pink slip to your car while I'm at it.
238
00:17:05,453 --> 00:17:07,978
Will you cut it out? It's not like we never met before.
239
00:17:08,055 --> 00:17:10,216
How many times I ever jumped one of your bonds?
240
00:17:10,291 --> 00:17:13,852
You know the bail bond business, Jim. It's cash and carry.
241
00:17:13,928 --> 00:17:17,227
The only good risk is a hooker with a big client list.
242
00:17:17,298 --> 00:17:20,734
You skip out on this bond, and I'm coming after you with a net.
243
00:17:21,302 --> 00:17:24,066
When you come over, bring the pink slip.
244
00:17:26,174 --> 00:17:29,337
I never let my clients use Solly. He's a bum.
245
00:17:29,410 --> 00:17:31,537
I can't understand why you keep going back to him.
246
00:17:31,612 --> 00:17:33,307
Keep going back to him?
247
00:17:33,381 --> 00:17:36,214
You make it sound like I never get off the police blotter.
248
00:17:36,284 --> 00:17:41,119
I don't keep going back to him. I used him once or twice before, that's all.
249
00:17:41,789 --> 00:17:45,885
Okay, Jim, we have a preliminary hearing on the third. Wear a tie.
250
00:17:52,033 --> 00:17:53,466
Who are you?
251
00:18:16,524 --> 00:18:19,823
Is Alec around? How did you get in here?
252
00:18:20,161 --> 00:18:24,188
I took the elevator from the lobby, I walked down the corridor...
253
00:18:24,265 --> 00:18:27,234
I opened the door, and came in. Tricky, huh?
254
00:18:27,335 --> 00:18:30,930
You better leave. They're pretty careful about unauthorized people.
255
00:18:31,239 --> 00:18:34,402
Well, you see, I'm Alec's sister's cousin from Minneola, Washington.
256
00:18:34,475 --> 00:18:36,875
Me, Harriet and the kids were supposed to go to Disneyland...
257
00:18:36,944 --> 00:18:39,572
and Alec was supposed to pick up the tickets. I guess he forgot.
258
00:18:39,647 --> 00:18:42,707
I'm double-parked downstairs with a station wagon full of kids...
259
00:18:42,783 --> 00:18:46,014
who'll feed me to the sharks if I don't get back with six tickets.
260
00:18:46,087 --> 00:18:49,887
If that qualifies me as a security threat, you guys got a big problem.
261
00:18:51,926 --> 00:18:54,394
Over there. Thanks.
262
00:19:05,940 --> 00:19:07,373
Hello, Alec.
263
00:19:14,548 --> 00:19:17,779
How did you get in here? I shot the doorman.
264
00:19:22,023 --> 00:19:24,423
You got me into a lot of trouble, Alec.
265
00:19:24,492 --> 00:19:26,790
I don't know what you're talking about.
266
00:19:26,894 --> 00:19:29,954
Okay. You want to start that way, we'll start that way.
267
00:19:30,031 --> 00:19:33,194
No, wait. You don't understand.
268
00:19:40,908 --> 00:19:43,968
Okay, we'll go to the bathroom.
269
00:19:53,354 --> 00:19:55,879
Little Jase can hardly wait to climb the Matterhorn...
270
00:19:55,957 --> 00:19:58,152
and Julie, I swear I haven't seen her this happy...
271
00:19:58,225 --> 00:20:00,955
since she got her violin lessons last Christmas.
272
00:20:07,101 --> 00:20:09,433
Men's room, 12th floor. Come on.
273
00:20:11,072 --> 00:20:12,130
All right, in here.
274
00:20:12,206 --> 00:20:14,970
I thought you said we're going... I lied. Get in there.
275
00:20:18,312 --> 00:20:20,644
All right, Alec, start explaining.
276
00:20:21,515 --> 00:20:23,506
And you better make a lot of sense.
277
00:20:27,021 --> 00:20:29,819
Do you know what it's like to be terrified, Mr. Rockford?
278
00:20:29,890 --> 00:20:32,654
No, I mean, really, honestly terrified.
279
00:20:32,727 --> 00:20:36,026
I don't sleep. When I eat, I throw it all up 20 minutes later.
280
00:20:36,097 --> 00:20:38,224
I'm so scared, I don't know what I'm doing anymore.
281
00:20:38,299 --> 00:20:40,733
If you think you can scare me, you're plain out of luck.
282
00:20:40,801 --> 00:20:44,168
You're just one man and I'm not going to tell you anything.
283
00:20:44,238 --> 00:20:46,103
What happened when you came to my trailer...
284
00:20:46,173 --> 00:20:48,835
you said you wanted me to act as a go-between.
285
00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:52,172
Did I? I don't remember.
286
00:20:55,983 --> 00:21:00,010
I suppose you know what you're doing to me with the police, Alec.
287
00:21:01,989 --> 00:21:03,820
I'm sorry about that.
288
00:21:15,336 --> 00:21:17,270
Your last chance, Alec.
289
00:21:23,744 --> 00:21:27,271
You shouldn't hate me, Mr. Rockford, you should pity me.
290
00:21:44,298 --> 00:21:46,232
And check the bathroom.
291
00:21:56,444 --> 00:21:59,242
Excuse me, I was looking for Miss Garrity in Steno.
292
00:21:59,313 --> 00:22:00,905
You know where I might find her?
293
00:22:01,048 --> 00:22:05,712
No, who do you work for? Esteen Brothers Stationery Supplies.
294
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,913
Why, is something wrong? Stu, Fred. Around here!
295
00:22:11,025 --> 00:22:14,961
Here, I'll show you my business card. Could you hold this for just a minute?
296
00:22:21,035 --> 00:22:24,596
He's on the seventh floor. Head him off by the staircase.
297
00:22:27,608 --> 00:22:30,168
Here, pal, come on. Let me give you a little hand.
298
00:23:35,808 --> 00:23:38,003
Don't tell me you're down to that.
299
00:23:38,077 --> 00:23:40,068
No, I'm not looking for quarters.
300
00:23:40,146 --> 00:23:42,046
I'm looking for my railroad watch.
301
00:23:42,115 --> 00:23:45,346
Is that the one you took off Mr. Sherman at the poker game?
302
00:23:45,418 --> 00:23:47,079
You ain't seen it, have you, sonny?
303
00:23:47,153 --> 00:23:49,212
You might check the garbage disposal.
304
00:23:49,956 --> 00:23:51,583
You don't think?
305
00:23:52,859 --> 00:23:55,259
Hey, Rocky, anybody call?
306
00:23:55,328 --> 00:23:58,729
Come to think of it, I had it right on this counter a couple of days ago.
307
00:23:58,798 --> 00:24:00,993
Did anybody call, Rocky? No.
308
00:24:01,501 --> 00:24:04,800
Yeah. It's on the pad. Some lady named Mrs. Parker.
309
00:24:15,548 --> 00:24:19,143
Mrs. Parker, please. This is Jim Rockford.
310
00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:29,794
Mrs. Parker is in the garage. You want to follow me?
311
00:24:29,862 --> 00:24:31,830
Who are you? I'm the maid.
312
00:24:31,898 --> 00:24:35,459
Uniforms all at the cleaners? I'm also a good mechanic.
313
00:24:35,535 --> 00:24:39,027
Carburetion mostly, but I'm great at front-end alignment and fine-tuning.
314
00:24:48,214 --> 00:24:50,512
Teresa, hand me the inch spanner, will you?
315
00:24:50,583 --> 00:24:51,880
Mr. Rockford is here.
316
00:24:54,621 --> 00:24:58,887
Mr. Rockford, excuse the way I look. I'm trying to get this fixed before 5:00.
317
00:24:59,025 --> 00:25:01,459
What happens at 5:00. Turn into a pumpkin?
318
00:25:01,527 --> 00:25:03,119
It gets picked up by my head mechanic...
319
00:25:03,196 --> 00:25:05,096
and trucked out to Riverside for the weekend.
320
00:25:05,164 --> 00:25:06,688
You finish cleaning the carburetor jet?
321
00:25:06,766 --> 00:25:09,360
No, it's still in the wash. But I'll get to it after class.
322
00:25:09,435 --> 00:25:11,369
By the way, I didn't get to the dishes either...
323
00:25:11,437 --> 00:25:14,964
and the kitchen is beginning to look like a Salvation Army Reclamation Center.
324
00:25:15,041 --> 00:25:16,440
Let's not worry about it till later.
325
00:25:16,509 --> 00:25:18,875
Go on to class. I'll see you when you get back.
326
00:25:21,014 --> 00:25:22,345
She's really a maid?
327
00:25:22,415 --> 00:25:25,248
She's a lot of things, but mostly she's a college student...
328
00:25:25,318 --> 00:25:27,377
trying to get her degree in Chemical Engineering.
329
00:25:27,453 --> 00:25:30,422
You didn't say on the phone why you wanted to talk to me.
330
00:25:30,490 --> 00:25:32,355
I'd like you to see something first.
331
00:25:47,607 --> 00:25:50,440
Well, that explains the guy with the camera. I wonder why he ran?
332
00:25:50,510 --> 00:25:54,310
Is it true what you claim? That two men took Alec Morris out of your trailer.
333
00:25:54,681 --> 00:25:58,344
I hope you won't think I'm getting too cagey, Mrs. Parker...
334
00:25:58,418 --> 00:26:00,682
but I'm not sure I want to discuss it with you.
335
00:26:00,753 --> 00:26:03,449
Have they threatened you or what? Who?
336
00:26:03,523 --> 00:26:07,425
The people from Fiscal Dynamics. Why would they threaten me?
337
00:26:07,493 --> 00:26:09,358
I'm just a cluck who goes around
338
00:26:09,429 --> 00:26:11,124
giving false information to the police.
339
00:26:11,731 --> 00:26:13,562
I believe everything in that article...
340
00:26:13,633 --> 00:26:16,727
and I think Fiscal Dynamics is behind the whole thing.
341
00:26:16,803 --> 00:26:19,772
Why? Are you working on this case?
342
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:22,364
What, do you mean do I have a client? The answer is no.
343
00:26:22,442 --> 00:26:25,673
I'm just trying to get out from under this false charge.
344
00:26:26,379 --> 00:26:29,871
I'd like to hire you to investigate my husband's death.
345
00:26:30,149 --> 00:26:34,142
Who was your husband? My husband was Guy Parker.
346
00:26:35,188 --> 00:26:37,122
Guy was killed in an automobile accident
347
00:26:37,190 --> 00:26:40,057
on Mulholland Road about 18 months ago.
348
00:26:41,561 --> 00:26:43,461
That used to be Guy's race car.
349
00:26:43,529 --> 00:26:46,191
We used to team race it at the local tracks.
350
00:26:46,399 --> 00:26:48,697
Guy was one of the best drivers in his class.
351
00:26:48,768 --> 00:26:51,601
I couldn't believe that he lost control of his car on Mulholland.
352
00:26:51,671 --> 00:26:53,935
He was just too good for that.
353
00:26:55,508 --> 00:26:58,739
How does it all fit in with FDI and Alec Morris?
354
00:26:59,178 --> 00:27:00,645
My husband had the same job...
355
00:27:00,713 --> 00:27:03,375
with Financial Dynamics that Alec Morris has now.
356
00:27:03,716 --> 00:27:05,741
I was always suspicious of that accident,
357
00:27:05,818 --> 00:27:07,718
but I couldn't get anybody to help me.
358
00:27:07,787 --> 00:27:09,516
The cops had it down as a traffic accident
359
00:27:09,589 --> 00:27:11,921
and they weren't about to call it murder.
360
00:27:11,991 --> 00:27:13,856
I think he was murdered.
361
00:27:13,926 --> 00:27:16,918
And I think it has something to do with that company.
362
00:27:17,630 --> 00:27:18,858
Will you work for me?
363
00:27:18,931 --> 00:27:21,900
You seem to be the only one willing to stand up against that bunch.
364
00:27:21,968 --> 00:27:23,026
Are you kidding?
365
00:27:23,102 --> 00:27:25,798
I'm looking for a hole to climb in before they plow me under.
366
00:27:25,872 --> 00:27:29,899
But you made the charge. That was before I knew what was going on.
367
00:27:29,976 --> 00:27:32,501
I didn't even know about Fiscal Dynamics.
368
00:27:32,578 --> 00:27:34,773
I'm afraid I don't understand. I thought...
369
00:27:34,847 --> 00:27:38,112
Look, I'm about to get dumped into the county jail.
370
00:27:38,184 --> 00:27:41,017
I'm not looking forward to spending nine months of my life...
371
00:27:41,087 --> 00:27:44,818
in a 20 foot square room, being served creamed chip beef on toast...
372
00:27:44,891 --> 00:27:48,122
because I was a good citizen and reported what I thought was a crime.
373
00:27:48,194 --> 00:27:50,059
So I'm working on my own case.
374
00:27:50,129 --> 00:27:53,360
Maybe it involves your husband's death. Maybe not.
375
00:27:53,433 --> 00:27:55,367
How much do you charge?
376
00:27:56,536 --> 00:27:59,937
$200 a day, plus expenses. I'll pay it.
377
00:28:01,007 --> 00:28:04,465
I guess you don't understand. I'm not investigating your husband's death.
378
00:28:04,544 --> 00:28:06,944
I'm trying to get loose of this indictment.
379
00:28:07,013 --> 00:28:09,607
I think it all comes down to the same thing.
380
00:28:10,316 --> 00:28:13,046
All I want for my money is for you to report back to me...
381
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,178
what you've learned. How can that hurt?
382
00:28:15,254 --> 00:28:18,348
You're working on it, anyway. I'm offering to pay you.
383
00:28:23,029 --> 00:28:24,587
You got a deal.
384
00:28:33,566 --> 00:28:35,557
Mr. Rockford, I'm sorry we have to meet...
385
00:28:35,634 --> 00:28:36,658
on my lunch break...
386
00:28:36,041 --> 00:28:38,771
I need a good financial analyst. How much do you charge?
387
00:28:36,735 --> 00:28:38,532
but I'm in a final audit with my clients.
388
00:28:38,604 --> 00:28:41,402
You said you were interested in hiring me. Yeah.
389
00:28:38,844 --> 00:28:42,541
It depends on the work. I charge $70 an hour.
390
00:28:42,981 --> 00:28:45,711
Or if you've got a good deal, I might jump in for a percentage.
391
00:28:45,784 --> 00:28:48,184
$70 an hour? Well, that's...
392
00:28:48,253 --> 00:28:50,881
That's reasonable, that's what it is.
393
00:28:51,122 --> 00:28:52,953
I had a deal last week.
394
00:28:53,024 --> 00:28:55,686
My client wanted to drop $60,000 into Dynatron.
395
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,455
That's a little conglomerate in Philadelphia.
396
00:28:57,529 --> 00:29:00,498
I spent two hours, found out the float in the stock was thin.
397
00:29:00,565 --> 00:29:03,227
Recommended against it, it dropped three points.
398
00:29:03,301 --> 00:29:06,429
I've already saved my client $150,000...
399
00:29:06,505 --> 00:29:08,496
and I charged him $150.
400
00:29:09,007 --> 00:29:12,443
If I take my kids to Wonderland, I can blow the same $150 in two hours.
401
00:29:12,511 --> 00:29:14,706
I call that reasonable. What do you call it?
402
00:29:15,213 --> 00:29:16,703
All right, what do you want me to do?
403
00:29:16,781 --> 00:29:19,978
I want you to run a check on Financial Dynamics Inc.
404
00:29:22,554 --> 00:29:25,489
Jerry, give me one of those chili things with onions.
405
00:29:25,557 --> 00:29:26,956
You eating?
406
00:29:27,325 --> 00:29:30,317
Two of those chili things. Only hold the onions on mine.
407
00:29:30,662 --> 00:29:33,722
So you want to drop your little bundle in FDI?
408
00:29:33,798 --> 00:29:36,358
That's a good choice. No, Mr. Love.
409
00:29:36,434 --> 00:29:38,231
I want to drop my little bundle on you.
410
00:29:38,303 --> 00:29:41,431
I want you to tell me all you can tell me on FDI.
411
00:29:41,506 --> 00:29:44,066
You haven't been on the street very much, have you?
412
00:29:44,142 --> 00:29:45,336
Not a whole lot. No.
413
00:29:45,410 --> 00:29:49,278
I don't want to seem offensive, Mr. Rockford, I don't work for just anybody.
414
00:29:49,347 --> 00:29:52,680
I'm a securities analyst. I screen my clients very carefully.
415
00:29:53,051 --> 00:29:55,952
Because good clients are like good sailboats.
416
00:29:56,187 --> 00:29:59,452
You invest your time in them and you get to go for a nice little ride.
417
00:29:59,524 --> 00:30:02,084
That's why I'm in the field. You understand what I'm saying?
418
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,924
How many of your little sailboats do you have floating around...
419
00:30:04,996 --> 00:30:08,022
in the Fiscal Dynamics puddle? Hardly a puddle.
420
00:30:08,099 --> 00:30:09,999
It's one of the largest companies on the board.
421
00:30:10,068 --> 00:30:12,093
Assets of over $2 billion.
422
00:30:13,104 --> 00:30:16,073
You see, I think their head computer programmer...
423
00:30:16,141 --> 00:30:18,541
is being forced to do things against his will.
424
00:30:18,610 --> 00:30:22,137
I think it's just possible that there's a whole lot wrong with the company.
425
00:30:22,213 --> 00:30:25,148
I'm willing to pay you $70 an hour to...
426
00:30:25,216 --> 00:30:28,879
take a run through their financial statement, just see what might be wrong.
427
00:30:32,524 --> 00:30:35,084
You're the detective in the paper, aren't you?
428
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,493
Yeah, my secretary clipped it out and showed it to me. Funny.
429
00:30:39,097 --> 00:30:41,531
You got yourself hung out there, didn't you?
430
00:30:43,068 --> 00:30:45,935
Look, Mr. Rockford.
431
00:30:46,605 --> 00:30:49,938
There is absolutely nothing wrong with Fiscal Dynamics.
432
00:30:50,508 --> 00:30:52,339
I don't have to research them for you...
433
00:30:52,410 --> 00:30:55,436
because I have personally been through their financial statement...
434
00:30:55,513 --> 00:30:57,003
at least 10 times.
435
00:30:57,082 --> 00:30:59,414
I've spoken to Mr. Fielder a dozen times.
436
00:30:59,484 --> 00:31:02,317
All of this before I let one of my clients invest in the stock.
437
00:31:02,387 --> 00:31:04,685
That company is so healthy it's disgusting.
438
00:31:06,825 --> 00:31:10,261
I'm giving you all this advice for the price of a hotdog.
439
00:31:10,996 --> 00:31:12,554
I got to get back to work.
440
00:31:22,007 --> 00:31:23,702
$6.36?
441
00:31:26,378 --> 00:31:27,777
I hope everything is finished.
442
00:31:27,846 --> 00:31:30,906
Yeah, I got it done last night.
443
00:31:31,916 --> 00:31:33,383
After hours.
444
00:31:41,559 --> 00:31:43,618
How come you guys never look at the stuff?
445
00:31:43,695 --> 00:31:46,630
We look at it, Mr. Bovino. It's just we're in a hurry.
446
00:31:47,032 --> 00:31:49,466
Mr. Gorrick, the money you guys loaned me...
447
00:31:49,534 --> 00:31:51,695
for the new presses, I really needed them.
448
00:31:52,637 --> 00:31:55,834
But it seems like a lot of money to pay back. You know what I mean?
449
00:31:56,041 --> 00:31:57,201
What?
450
00:31:59,110 --> 00:32:00,668
What is this?
451
00:32:00,979 --> 00:32:04,574
I got to put so much of my profit to you guys to cover the loan.
452
00:32:04,816 --> 00:32:07,444
And I got to work overtime for all that printing.
453
00:32:07,552 --> 00:32:09,486
All I get is $700.
454
00:32:11,289 --> 00:32:15,487
I think I should do better than that, under the circumstances.
455
00:32:17,429 --> 00:32:21,331
I don't understand you, Carl. If you have a problem, speak up.
456
00:32:22,367 --> 00:32:24,835
You got the problem, Mr. Gorrick.
457
00:32:26,738 --> 00:32:30,469
Carl, I don't like what I'm hearing.
458
00:32:32,677 --> 00:32:36,704
Now you know we have your note. We can call it in anytime we want.
459
00:32:37,182 --> 00:32:40,083
If you can't pay up within 10 days, I own this place.
460
00:32:40,952 --> 00:32:43,182
I can make some phone calls, you know.
461
00:32:43,254 --> 00:32:45,552
I figured out what all this printing is for.
462
00:32:45,724 --> 00:32:48,750
Took me a while, but I know what's going on.
463
00:32:49,494 --> 00:32:53,021
Carl, you know why we have these things printed up.
464
00:32:53,398 --> 00:32:55,798
It's part of the insurance brokers sales kit.
465
00:32:55,867 --> 00:32:57,698
You go down to the street and you'll find...
466
00:32:57,769 --> 00:32:59,430
that every broker has this material.
467
00:32:59,504 --> 00:33:03,600
You want to call the insurance examiners or the SEC or the police...
468
00:33:03,675 --> 00:33:05,438
you go right ahead.
469
00:33:05,543 --> 00:33:07,704
You want the telephone numbers, call my secretary...
470
00:33:07,779 --> 00:33:09,974
she'll be happy to help you.
471
00:33:11,182 --> 00:33:14,811
But I don't like being threatened and I don't like being called a crook.
472
00:33:15,420 --> 00:33:18,150
I guess I was wrong.
473
00:33:21,726 --> 00:33:25,355
That's okay, Carl. Anyone can make a mistake.
474
00:33:26,998 --> 00:33:29,432
The only unforgivable sin is stupidity.
475
00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:47,341
Mr. Rockford? Yeah.
476
00:33:49,621 --> 00:33:51,054
I'm Ted Beaton.
477
00:33:51,222 --> 00:33:53,918
I wonder if I might speak to you for just a moment.
478
00:33:54,692 --> 00:33:56,091
Yeah, what is it?
479
00:33:56,161 --> 00:33:59,062
Mr. Leon Fielder would like to have a chat with you.
480
00:33:59,130 --> 00:34:01,325
Leon Fielder? Fielder?
481
00:34:01,533 --> 00:34:04,730
He's the President and Chief Operating Officer of...
482
00:34:04,803 --> 00:34:06,930
Fiscal Dynamics Incorporated.
483
00:34:08,173 --> 00:34:09,936
Never heard of him.
484
00:34:10,742 --> 00:34:13,142
He said it was really important that he see you.
485
00:34:13,211 --> 00:34:17,045
He said he would make himself available to meet wherever you want.
486
00:34:18,183 --> 00:34:21,277
However, if you could come down to FDI...
487
00:34:21,352 --> 00:34:24,014
it would be a bit more convenient for Mr. Fielder.
488
00:34:25,323 --> 00:34:27,314
What do you guys do?
489
00:34:28,193 --> 00:34:31,458
John is a marketing analyst and I'm in product research.
490
00:34:32,897 --> 00:34:36,526
You can tell Mr. Fielder I'll call about 3:30.
491
00:34:38,169 --> 00:34:40,069
Could we convince you to come now?
492
00:34:40,972 --> 00:34:43,304
It depends on how you want to go about it.
493
00:34:45,543 --> 00:34:47,170
Please come now.
494
00:34:48,213 --> 00:34:49,441
Sorry.
495
00:34:51,115 --> 00:34:55,211
Okay, 3:30 then, Mr. Rockford. That will be fine. Thank you very much, sir.
496
00:34:59,457 --> 00:35:02,221
You know, I think you'll really enjoy meeting Mr. Fielder.
497
00:35:02,293 --> 00:35:04,227
He's quite an exceptional man.
498
00:35:14,072 --> 00:35:16,233
Mr. Fielder will see you in a moment.
499
00:35:26,384 --> 00:35:29,251
Mr. Rockford, I'm Stan Gorrick.
500
00:35:29,587 --> 00:35:32,078
Hi, Stan. How's your head?
501
00:35:33,124 --> 00:35:35,149
Mr. Fielder will see you now.
502
00:35:57,514 --> 00:35:59,209
Sit down, Mr. Rockford.
503
00:36:11,295 --> 00:36:15,322
If you're in the market and want a tip, buy North Eastern Life.
504
00:36:16,433 --> 00:36:18,367
It's going to climb the ladder.
505
00:36:19,569 --> 00:36:22,299
The markets that I go to...
506
00:36:22,372 --> 00:36:25,205
sell things by the pound and wrap them in brown paper.
507
00:36:29,846 --> 00:36:31,609
What are you up to, Mr. Rockford?
508
00:36:37,821 --> 00:36:40,119
What's going on in your head?
509
00:36:43,961 --> 00:36:45,258
Sir, it's Arnold Love.
510
00:36:45,329 --> 00:36:46,557
What is it, Arnold?
511
00:36:46,897 --> 00:36:49,866
Mr. Fielder, I thought I should let you know.
512
00:36:49,933 --> 00:36:53,130
There's a guy saying some disquieting things about FDI.
513
00:36:54,538 --> 00:36:57,405
What's that? He wanted me to look into your company.
514
00:36:57,474 --> 00:36:59,942
He said there was something crooked going on.
515
00:37:00,477 --> 00:37:02,274
It's absurd, of course.
516
00:37:02,346 --> 00:37:05,611
But this is really the wrong time for rumors of any kind.
517
00:37:05,882 --> 00:37:09,909
You got a point there. Who is he? The guy's named Jim Rockford.
518
00:37:09,987 --> 00:37:11,215
That's the strange part.
519
00:37:11,288 --> 00:37:14,951
The same one who claimed Alec Morris was kidnapped from his office.
520
00:37:15,025 --> 00:37:16,788
He seems very determined.
521
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,986
With the North Eastern merger coming, we don't need any yahoos
522
00:37:20,063 --> 00:37:22,429
Kicking the slats out of the stock.
523
00:37:22,499 --> 00:37:24,330
I figured you'd want to know about it.
524
00:37:24,401 --> 00:37:26,164
Maybe you can head this guy off.
525
00:37:26,236 --> 00:37:28,727
Thanks, Arnold. I'll look into it.
526
00:37:33,477 --> 00:37:35,945
Would you care to comment? Yeah.
527
00:37:37,447 --> 00:37:41,679
Isn't it against the law to give out inside information like that...
528
00:37:41,752 --> 00:37:43,549
to guys like Love?
529
00:37:49,092 --> 00:37:50,684
Technically, I guess you could say that,
530
00:37:50,761 --> 00:37:53,662
but this sort of thing happens all the time.
531
00:37:55,332 --> 00:37:58,426
My associates tell me that you've been here before.
532
00:37:59,469 --> 00:38:02,097
That you tried to see Mr. Morris...
533
00:38:03,273 --> 00:38:05,173
you hit Mr. Gorrick here...
534
00:38:08,612 --> 00:38:12,104
and then when some of our junior executives tried to help you...
535
00:38:12,182 --> 00:38:15,379
find out what you wanted, you ran away.
536
00:38:15,986 --> 00:38:18,250
Mr. Rockford, now that I've met you...
537
00:38:18,321 --> 00:38:20,846
I can't imagine you doing any of those things.
538
00:38:22,759 --> 00:38:24,556
You had to be there.
539
00:38:25,228 --> 00:38:29,164
Mr. Gorrick wants to notify the police.
540
00:38:30,667 --> 00:38:33,966
It's a felony when you go around hitting people.
541
00:38:34,971 --> 00:38:36,939
I've convinced him not to do that.
542
00:38:37,741 --> 00:38:41,142
I personally would rather hear from you...
543
00:38:42,712 --> 00:38:44,612
what you think is going on here.
544
00:38:44,681 --> 00:38:46,979
I think you're a company full of sweethearts
545
00:38:47,050 --> 00:38:48,915
and I wish you all the success in the world.
546
00:38:49,986 --> 00:38:52,887
You see, Stan, I told you. This is our kind of guy.
547
00:38:53,790 --> 00:38:55,087
That's all, Stan.
548
00:38:56,793 --> 00:38:58,658
I like you, Rockford.
549
00:38:59,830 --> 00:39:02,492
I just want to tell you one other thing before you leave.
550
00:39:02,566 --> 00:39:05,626
Would you let go of my hand? I think you're gonna break my fingers.
551
00:39:05,702 --> 00:39:08,603
You see, you got to quit messing around with Fiscal Dynamics.
552
00:39:08,672 --> 00:39:10,799
And the reason you have to do that is very simple.
553
00:39:10,874 --> 00:39:12,136
Will you let go, please?
554
00:39:12,209 --> 00:39:15,042
This company uses its stock to acquire other companies.
555
00:39:15,112 --> 00:39:18,240
We trade stock. If you spread rumors about FDI...
556
00:39:18,315 --> 00:39:20,146
and that causes our stock to go down...
557
00:39:20,217 --> 00:39:22,742
take this North Eastern acquisition for instance.
558
00:39:22,819 --> 00:39:26,152
If our stock goes down two or three points...
559
00:39:26,223 --> 00:39:29,488
it could cost the company in the neighborhood of $10 million.
560
00:39:29,559 --> 00:39:33,154
Mr. Fielder, if you don't let go of my hand...
561
00:39:34,030 --> 00:39:36,396
I'm gonna have to take a shot at you.
562
00:39:37,534 --> 00:39:38,899
I'm sorry.
563
00:39:42,038 --> 00:39:45,201
You see, sometimes I forget how powerful I am.
564
00:39:47,043 --> 00:39:51,309
Mr. Rockford, you're gonna have to quit running around and causing trouble.
565
00:39:51,448 --> 00:39:53,814
Because if you don't quit spreading rumors about us...
566
00:39:53,884 --> 00:39:55,909
I will have to get a hold of our lawyers.
567
00:39:55,986 --> 00:39:59,285
And we're gonna have to institute a stock holder suit against you.
568
00:39:59,756 --> 00:40:03,692
You could be sued for the entire amount that your rumors cost us.
569
00:40:04,661 --> 00:40:08,062
That could be millions. That sounds very dangerous.
570
00:40:09,332 --> 00:40:12,495
You know, our stockholders are just people like you.
571
00:40:12,969 --> 00:40:17,235
All kinds of people. They are widows, they are plumbers, school teachers.
572
00:40:18,475 --> 00:40:21,603
Now, when you hurt us, you hurt them.
573
00:40:22,045 --> 00:40:24,309
And what I am interested in doing, Mr. Rockford...
574
00:40:24,381 --> 00:40:26,713
is protecting their interest.
575
00:40:27,150 --> 00:40:28,640
Do you understand that?
576
00:40:28,718 --> 00:40:32,518
I really had no idea it was that sensitive. I really didn't.
577
00:40:32,589 --> 00:40:36,025
You mean to tell me that I can ask a few silly questions...
578
00:40:36,092 --> 00:40:39,493
and this great big company could lose $10 million?
579
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:43,226
Investors are very cautious. It doesn't take much.
580
00:40:43,667 --> 00:40:46,693
Right now we're in the middle of a big acquisition.
581
00:40:47,938 --> 00:40:52,637
Don't mess with us, Mr. Rockford, unless you want a pile of trouble.
582
00:40:52,909 --> 00:40:56,345
You really made your point, Mr. Fielder.
583
00:40:56,613 --> 00:41:00,743
You can bet from here on I'll stay out of your way.
584
00:41:01,685 --> 00:41:06,122
Say, would you apologize to Mr. Gorrick for me?
585
00:41:07,057 --> 00:41:10,117
Now that I've met him, he seems like a very nice man.
586
00:41:13,163 --> 00:41:16,860
Would you let go of my hand? This is very childish.
587
00:41:17,701 --> 00:41:18,827
What?
588
00:41:19,970 --> 00:41:21,631
It is, isn't it?
589
00:41:27,244 --> 00:41:29,735
Can I expect no further trouble from you, Mr. Rockford?
590
00:41:29,813 --> 00:41:30,905
No further trouble.
591
00:41:30,981 --> 00:41:32,573
That's good, because if there is...
592
00:41:32,649 --> 00:41:36,085
I'm simply going to start legal proceedings against you.
593
00:42:10,353 --> 00:42:11,945
What is it? What do you want?
594
00:42:12,022 --> 00:42:14,513
We got to talk to you, Mr. Bovino. About what?
595
00:42:15,058 --> 00:42:17,288
Some printing. We need some printing done.
596
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,193
Come back in the morning. I'm closed. I got to go home.
597
00:42:20,263 --> 00:42:22,993
We got to talk now. Right now?
598
00:42:23,633 --> 00:42:26,466
That's right, Mr. Bovino, right now.
599
00:43:13,483 --> 00:43:14,973
You can't quit.
600
00:43:15,051 --> 00:43:17,747
They didn't threaten to sue you for $10 million.
601
00:43:17,821 --> 00:43:21,689
Let me tell you something. If I'm your agent in this investigation...
602
00:43:21,758 --> 00:43:24,318
they're gonna find out about it, they're bound to.
603
00:43:24,394 --> 00:43:26,419
And then they're gonna name you in the law suit...
604
00:43:26,496 --> 00:43:30,227
and they're gonna take your red racer down the drain along with my father's truck.
605
00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:32,029
Not to mention everything else we own.
606
00:43:32,102 --> 00:43:34,332
I don't care. They killed my husband.
607
00:43:34,404 --> 00:43:37,339
I wouldn't doubt it for a minute, but what am I supposed to do?
608
00:43:37,407 --> 00:43:40,433
I don't have anymore leads to follow. Yes, you do.
609
00:43:40,510 --> 00:43:42,501
That's why I asked you to come over.
610
00:43:49,452 --> 00:43:51,317
His name is Carl Bovino. So?
611
00:43:52,856 --> 00:43:54,687
When I first read that article...
612
00:43:54,758 --> 00:43:57,386
the name rang a bell, but I couldn't quite place it.
613
00:43:57,961 --> 00:44:00,259
My husband told me that Mr. Bovino was a printer...
614
00:44:00,330 --> 00:44:03,663
who had been contracted out by FDI to do the annual report.
615
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,792
Guy thought it was strange they use a little printer like Bovino...
616
00:44:06,870 --> 00:44:09,964
instead of one of the big companies that usually do annual reports.
617
00:44:10,039 --> 00:44:12,530
It says here his shop was burglarized.
618
00:44:12,609 --> 00:44:15,510
He was working late, surprised the thieves and was shot.
619
00:44:15,578 --> 00:44:17,842
It just could have happened that way.
620
00:44:18,415 --> 00:44:19,677
What is it with you?
621
00:44:19,749 --> 00:44:22,513
Do you want to go to jail for false reporting of a crime?
622
00:44:22,585 --> 00:44:25,349
I don't understand. This may be a big break.
623
00:44:25,422 --> 00:44:28,323
I had a talk with my lawyer. She says if I'm a good boy...
624
00:44:28,391 --> 00:44:31,690
I don't write on the walls I might get out of this in about four months.
625
00:44:31,761 --> 00:44:33,729
And I figured that's four months well spent...
626
00:44:33,797 --> 00:44:36,493
if it keeps me from being sued for $10 million.
627
00:44:37,233 --> 00:44:39,701
You're turning into a big disappointment for me.
628
00:44:39,769 --> 00:44:41,930
Don't you ever think about anybody but yourself?
629
00:44:42,005 --> 00:44:45,099
No. Well, yeah, sometimes at Christmas.
630
00:44:49,813 --> 00:44:53,715
All right, I do know a guy down at the police department.
631
00:44:53,783 --> 00:44:55,273
I'll talk to him about this printer.
632
00:44:55,351 --> 00:44:57,251
I'll find out what the cops know.
633
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,550
They're just gonna tell you it was a robbery.
634
00:44:59,622 --> 00:45:02,022
You've got to get in to take a look at his files.
635
00:45:02,091 --> 00:45:03,922
Absolutely out of the question.
636
00:45:03,993 --> 00:45:07,724
But don't you see? He must have kept records of his work for FDI.
637
00:45:07,797 --> 00:45:10,766
You've got to see what kind of printing he was doing for them.
638
00:45:10,834 --> 00:45:14,634
Tell you what. Why don't you break into Bovino's shop and look around?
639
00:45:14,737 --> 00:45:17,831
I'll go out to Riverside this weekend and drive your little red racer.
640
00:45:17,907 --> 00:45:20,501
But I'll compromise. I'll go with you if you want.
641
00:45:20,643 --> 00:45:22,406
I'm not afraid to break in there.
642
00:45:22,946 --> 00:45:25,039
What I meant was... Chicken?
643
00:45:26,149 --> 00:45:28,413
Yeah, kind of.
644
00:45:50,940 --> 00:45:53,966
It's sort of scary, isn't it?
645
00:45:54,611 --> 00:45:55,771
Yeah.
646
00:45:57,780 --> 00:45:58,940
Yeah.
647
00:46:00,316 --> 00:46:04,013
Look, maybe you should talk to your friend on the police force.
648
00:46:04,087 --> 00:46:05,486
You were right about that.
649
00:46:05,555 --> 00:46:09,855
We should talk to him first, and then maybe we wouldn't have to break in here at all.
650
00:46:09,993 --> 00:46:13,156
You're really turning into a big disappointment for me, Doris.
651
00:46:13,263 --> 00:46:15,731
In your living room you sounded so confident.
652
00:46:17,333 --> 00:46:19,164
Okay.
653
00:46:19,602 --> 00:46:21,763
You're gonna be the wheelman on this caper.
654
00:46:21,838 --> 00:46:24,136
So get out and get behind the wheel.
655
00:46:33,082 --> 00:46:34,344
Get out.
656
00:46:46,663 --> 00:46:50,292
Now if the police arrive and you take off without me...
657
00:46:50,366 --> 00:46:52,732
I'll come after you and strangle you.
658
00:46:53,202 --> 00:46:54,669
I won't leave you.
659
00:46:54,938 --> 00:46:56,997
Besides, why would the cops come?
660
00:46:57,073 --> 00:46:59,667
The burglar alarm, I'm gonna have to dismantle it.
661
00:47:00,076 --> 00:47:02,237
You're pretty good at that?
662
00:47:02,412 --> 00:47:05,176
I don't know. I've never done it before.
663
00:49:31,027 --> 00:49:32,722
Please be with us next week
664
00:49:32,795 --> 00:49:35,423
for the conclusion of Profit And Loss.
