Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,399
All right, you're in for a third.
2
00:00:02,468 --> 00:00:04,265
She calls herself Valerie Thomas.
3
00:00:04,337 --> 00:00:06,168
Don't worry. Nudes are very difficult.
4
00:00:06,239 --> 00:00:08,434
This is the first one I've ever had trouble with.
5
00:00:08,541 --> 00:00:10,133
I can tell you who pulled that job.
6
00:00:10,409 --> 00:00:13,936
Your fingerprints are all over the lady's safe, and theirs aren't.
7
00:00:14,113 --> 00:00:15,603
Rockford still takes the rap.
8
00:00:15,681 --> 00:00:17,774
The minute you get your hands on those pearls...
9
00:00:17,850 --> 00:00:20,284
I come busting through the door, and get the necklace.
10
00:00:20,353 --> 00:00:21,377
What do I get?
11
00:00:21,454 --> 00:00:22,887
I'll split the reward money with you.
12
00:00:22,955 --> 00:00:24,320
You mean you'll split your sentence.
13
00:00:24,390 --> 00:00:25,550
What guarantee do we have...
14
00:00:25,625 --> 00:00:27,957
you're not planning on ripping them off for yourself?
15
00:00:28,027 --> 00:00:29,551
The best guarantee in the world.
16
00:00:29,629 --> 00:00:30,823
He don't wanna die.
17
00:00:36,769 --> 00:00:38,737
This is Jim Rockford.
18
00:00:38,804 --> 00:00:40,499
At the tone, leave your name and message.
19
00:00:40,573 --> 00:00:41,540
I'll get back to you.
20
00:00:42,675 --> 00:00:44,472
Jim, it's Jack. I'm at the airport.
21
00:00:44,543 --> 00:00:47,205
I am going to Tokyo. I wanna pay you the $500 I owe you.
22
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:48,941
Catch you next year when I get back.
23
00:02:29,180 --> 00:02:31,580
I don't like you, Rockford. I never did.
24
00:02:31,649 --> 00:02:34,618
You sent me a $200 invitation to tell me that?
25
00:02:34,686 --> 00:02:37,177
I need your help. Are you kidding?
26
00:02:37,389 --> 00:02:39,186
You almost killed me five years ago.
27
00:02:39,257 --> 00:02:41,088
I spent two months in a prison hospital.
28
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:42,854
You had it coming.
29
00:02:43,328 --> 00:02:44,693
We're even.
30
00:02:45,063 --> 00:02:48,157
I still owe you a broken jaw and two separated ribs.
31
00:02:48,233 --> 00:02:50,633
I want you to find a girl for me.
32
00:02:50,769 --> 00:02:53,363
Moss, that's not the business I'm in.
33
00:02:53,838 --> 00:02:56,238
My girl. There's something wrong.
34
00:02:56,574 --> 00:02:58,599
Like what? I don't know.
35
00:02:58,676 --> 00:03:01,406
Maybe she split on me, maybe she's sick.
36
00:03:01,546 --> 00:03:04,208
She used to write me every day. Three months ago she stopped.
37
00:03:04,282 --> 00:03:05,613
For the three months, nothing.
38
00:03:05,683 --> 00:03:06,741
You try writing?
39
00:03:06,818 --> 00:03:10,254
Yeah, my letters come back. "Unknown at this address."
40
00:03:10,455 --> 00:03:12,685
Unknown? She's been living there for two years.
41
00:03:12,757 --> 00:03:15,351
Now, I get out of this joint in about a week.
42
00:03:15,427 --> 00:03:17,987
I want you to find out what's happened to her.
43
00:03:18,062 --> 00:03:19,893
Why not find out for yourself?
44
00:03:19,964 --> 00:03:22,694
'Cause maybe she's hooked up with somebody else.
45
00:03:22,767 --> 00:03:24,564
Now, you know I got a temper.
46
00:03:24,636 --> 00:03:27,196
I don't want to go out and tear some John's head off...
47
00:03:27,272 --> 00:03:29,297
and wind up right back here in the slam.
48
00:03:29,374 --> 00:03:33,071
You tell me that's what happened, and that's the end of it.
49
00:03:33,144 --> 00:03:36,170
I know your price, $200 a day, plus expenses, right?
50
00:03:36,247 --> 00:03:37,441
I'll pay it.
51
00:03:37,515 --> 00:03:40,348
The phone book's full of P.I.'s you never tried to kill.
52
00:03:40,418 --> 00:03:41,510
Why me?
53
00:03:41,586 --> 00:03:43,451
I don't like you, but I can trust you.
54
00:03:43,521 --> 00:03:45,853
You're an ex-con. You know what it's like in here.
55
00:03:45,924 --> 00:03:47,448
You'll give me a fair shake.
56
00:03:47,525 --> 00:03:50,790
I don't trust nobody I got to pick out of a phone book.
57
00:03:50,862 --> 00:03:52,329
So you're it.
58
00:03:53,631 --> 00:03:55,496
I need some time to think about it.
59
00:03:55,967 --> 00:03:57,764
You're it.
60
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:03,229
Yes.
61
00:04:04,476 --> 00:04:06,842
Yes, Dr. Boren.
62
00:04:07,378 --> 00:04:10,472
You see, my business manager's been out of town.
63
00:04:13,551 --> 00:04:17,578
Right, I hope you don't plan to repossess my filling.
64
00:04:19,290 --> 00:04:20,951
Yes, of course, Doctor.
65
00:04:21,025 --> 00:04:23,858
I'll see that there's something in the mail for you today.
66
00:04:25,263 --> 00:04:27,163
Yes, Doctor. Thank you.
67
00:04:30,201 --> 00:04:31,259
Who is it?
68
00:04:31,336 --> 00:04:32,428
Mr. Rockford?
69
00:04:34,038 --> 00:04:35,938
That depends. On what?
70
00:04:36,474 --> 00:04:37,998
On who you are.
71
00:04:38,543 --> 00:04:41,341
I'm sorry. Daniel Kramer.
72
00:04:42,113 --> 00:04:44,081
Moss Williams' attorney.
73
00:04:45,116 --> 00:04:46,606
May I come in?
74
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:58,656
If this is about Moss Williams, Mr. Kramer, I can save you a lot of time.
75
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:01,722
I've given it some thought. The answer is, no.
76
00:05:05,103 --> 00:05:09,267
Mr. Williams explained there's a certain antipathy between you.
77
00:05:09,674 --> 00:05:11,232
Mr. Williams tried to kill me.
78
00:05:11,809 --> 00:05:13,299
Yes, he mentioned that.
79
00:05:13,378 --> 00:05:15,346
I can understand why you would be hesitant...
80
00:05:15,413 --> 00:05:17,540
in responding to his plea for assistance.
81
00:05:17,615 --> 00:05:21,244
I'm not hesitating. You can tell Mr. Williams to stuff it.
82
00:05:21,653 --> 00:05:25,089
Yes, of course. Let me tell you how we've arranged it.
83
00:05:25,256 --> 00:05:26,746
Arranged what?
84
00:05:32,230 --> 00:05:35,996
This is a picture of the woman in question: Maria Heller.
85
00:05:46,844 --> 00:05:48,971
How did a woman like this...
86
00:05:49,147 --> 00:05:52,048
get mixed up with a goon like Moss Williams?
87
00:05:53,885 --> 00:05:57,286
Yes. Well, there's no accounting for taste.
88
00:05:58,623 --> 00:06:02,081
There are some women, well-bred, good families...
89
00:06:02,694 --> 00:06:06,152
who seem to find it physically exciting...
90
00:06:06,230 --> 00:06:08,596
to associate themselves with...
91
00:06:09,033 --> 00:06:10,364
Gorillas?
92
00:06:11,336 --> 00:06:12,803
Yes, of course.
93
00:06:12,870 --> 00:06:16,306
In any event, this is her last known address, and...
94
00:06:16,374 --> 00:06:18,808
I'm not working for Moss Williams.
95
00:06:20,445 --> 00:06:24,779
And a cashier's check in the amount of $500.
96
00:06:25,283 --> 00:06:27,649
There'll be more if you need it.
97
00:06:28,620 --> 00:06:31,453
I'll be dealing with you. That's correct.
98
00:06:31,789 --> 00:06:34,656
I won't have to see Moss, I won't have to talk to him at all.
99
00:06:34,726 --> 00:06:36,751
You report directly to me.
100
00:06:38,663 --> 00:06:42,497
What do you say, Mr. Rockford? Will you accept the assignment?
101
00:07:07,191 --> 00:07:08,749
Yes? Good afternoon, sir.
102
00:07:08,826 --> 00:07:10,726
I'm with the Rothschild Beauty Foundation.
103
00:07:10,795 --> 00:07:13,093
May I have a word with the little woman?
104
00:07:13,164 --> 00:07:15,291
What little woman? The Mrs.
105
00:07:16,034 --> 00:07:17,399
What do you want?
106
00:07:17,468 --> 00:07:20,596
What I want, sir is a word with the little woman.
107
00:07:20,672 --> 00:07:24,836
She's 5'7" and a half in her stocking feet, and she's in the shower.
108
00:07:25,276 --> 00:07:29,144
Sir, I have a mighty interesting business proposition for the little...
109
00:07:29,213 --> 00:07:31,408
For the Mrs. She's not interested.
110
00:07:31,482 --> 00:07:33,279
The Rothschild Beauty Foundation has...
111
00:07:33,351 --> 00:07:35,216
Harry, I need my robe.
112
00:07:36,788 --> 00:07:38,278
Just a minute.
113
00:08:05,516 --> 00:08:07,143
This is the little woman?
114
00:08:07,819 --> 00:08:09,252
Who invited you in?
115
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,016
You know, she's exactly what we've been looking for.
116
00:08:12,090 --> 00:08:14,354
You see, the Rothschild Foundation is having...
117
00:08:14,425 --> 00:08:16,154
a sales opening in this neighborhood.
118
00:08:16,227 --> 00:08:19,993
Our last representative made $200, possibly $300 a week.
119
00:08:20,064 --> 00:08:21,656
I'm doing a preliminary survey and...
120
00:08:21,733 --> 00:08:22,722
Out.
121
00:08:22,867 --> 00:08:24,596
This is a great opportunity...
122
00:08:24,669 --> 00:08:28,435
Buddy, you're gonna get out of here or am I gonna call the cops?
123
00:08:29,607 --> 00:08:32,235
If you're not interested, just say so.
124
00:08:44,188 --> 00:08:45,917
All right. Hold on.
125
00:08:54,932 --> 00:08:55,864
All right.
126
00:08:57,034 --> 00:08:58,023
All right.
127
00:09:05,910 --> 00:09:07,537
Now that's a parole violation.
128
00:09:07,612 --> 00:09:08,670
Where is she?
129
00:09:08,746 --> 00:09:11,977
The deal is I don't have to talk to you and I don't have to see you.
130
00:09:12,049 --> 00:09:15,018
If you don't tell me where she is, I'm gonna blow you apart.
131
00:09:15,086 --> 00:09:17,179
If I do tell you, you're gonna blow her apart.
132
00:09:17,255 --> 00:09:18,688
What do you think, I'm stupid?
133
00:09:18,756 --> 00:09:20,417
Yeah, Moss, I think you're stupid.
134
00:09:20,491 --> 00:09:22,686
Look, the cops know Maria is my girl.
135
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,557
I'm out of jail, she winds up dead.
136
00:09:24,629 --> 00:09:26,688
Who's gonna look number one for the murder?
137
00:09:26,764 --> 00:09:29,130
I just want to talk to her, that's all.
138
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,327
And you're gonna take me to her.
139
00:09:31,402 --> 00:09:33,199
This is for you, pal.
140
00:09:33,938 --> 00:09:38,602
Rockford, I could take you off right now and nobody would know the difference.
141
00:09:44,081 --> 00:09:45,412
Which one?
142
00:09:46,918 --> 00:09:48,351
Leave the gun here, Moss.
143
00:09:48,753 --> 00:09:49,981
Which one?
144
00:09:50,621 --> 00:09:52,851
You're not gonna go Neanderthal on me, are you?
145
00:09:52,924 --> 00:09:56,018
Look, I told you all I wanna do is talk to her.
146
00:09:56,861 --> 00:09:58,988
It's upstairs. Apartment 12.
147
00:10:00,531 --> 00:10:02,396
Drive around the back.
148
00:10:18,216 --> 00:10:19,444
Crown!
149
00:10:22,587 --> 00:10:25,215
Moss! Wait a minute, you got it wrong.
150
00:10:25,323 --> 00:10:26,347
Hey.
151
00:10:26,424 --> 00:10:27,482
You got it wrong.
152
00:10:27,558 --> 00:10:28,957
You were gonna cut me out, right?
153
00:10:29,026 --> 00:10:30,459
No, Moss, you got it wrong.
154
00:10:30,528 --> 00:10:32,621
Let's find Maria and ask her how wrong I got it.
155
00:10:32,697 --> 00:10:33,755
I can't.
156
00:10:33,831 --> 00:10:35,560
What're you talking about? Where is she?
157
00:10:35,633 --> 00:10:38,124
I don't know. I woke up this morning and she was gone.
158
00:10:38,202 --> 00:10:39,191
Where?
159
00:10:39,270 --> 00:10:40,328
What are you gonna do?
160
00:10:40,404 --> 00:10:42,531
I got some questions and you better have good answers.
161
00:10:42,607 --> 00:10:44,438
Moss, not in front of him. Forget him.
162
00:10:44,508 --> 00:10:47,409
I'm begging you, Moss, not in front of him!
163
00:10:58,322 --> 00:10:59,584
She what?
164
00:11:00,491 --> 00:11:02,982
And you let her get away with them?
165
00:11:07,231 --> 00:11:09,461
All right. So I got a temper.
166
00:11:13,404 --> 00:11:15,269
I probably wouldn't have shot him.
167
00:11:15,339 --> 00:11:17,273
I've known Harry Crown a long time.
168
00:11:17,341 --> 00:11:19,775
Your retainer just ran out, Moss.
169
00:11:20,344 --> 00:11:22,676
I paid you $700. For what?
170
00:11:22,980 --> 00:11:24,242
For nothing?
171
00:11:24,315 --> 00:11:27,250
That's a lousy deal. Yeah, it is, isn't it?
172
00:11:28,386 --> 00:11:31,753
Okay, another $500 and you find Maria.
173
00:11:32,089 --> 00:11:33,784
You know what I think, Moss?
174
00:11:33,858 --> 00:11:36,850
I think when Maria left, she took something with her.
175
00:11:36,928 --> 00:11:39,192
That's what you want me to find.
176
00:11:39,263 --> 00:11:41,595
It was something that didn't belong to her.
177
00:11:41,666 --> 00:11:43,861
Probably doesn't belong to you, either.
178
00:11:43,935 --> 00:11:46,096
You've been out of the joint for 24 hours...
179
00:11:46,170 --> 00:11:48,400
and you're looking for a return engagement.
180
00:11:48,472 --> 00:11:51,600
You don't have enough money to buy me into a mess like that.
181
00:11:51,676 --> 00:11:54,474
So get out of my tree, pal, and stay out.
182
00:12:02,186 --> 00:12:03,517
Who is it?
183
00:12:03,587 --> 00:12:05,111
Mr. Rockford?
184
00:12:06,290 --> 00:12:08,155
That wasn't an answer.
185
00:12:08,693 --> 00:12:10,854
My name's Burch. Edgar Burch.
186
00:12:10,928 --> 00:12:13,328
I wonder if I could have a few minutes of your time?
187
00:12:13,397 --> 00:12:14,455
Why?
188
00:12:14,532 --> 00:12:17,467
I can explain better if you'd let me inside.
189
00:12:19,470 --> 00:12:22,906
Mr. Burch, I haven't had breakfast yet, and I'm not in a very good mood.
190
00:12:22,974 --> 00:12:24,908
So if you're suing, selling, or collecting...
191
00:12:24,976 --> 00:12:26,443
I'm not.
192
00:12:28,145 --> 00:12:29,510
Come on in.
193
00:12:35,753 --> 00:12:39,689
Mr. Rockford, you visited a felon named Moss Williams...
194
00:12:39,757 --> 00:12:42,590
at the penitentiary just prior to his release.
195
00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:44,252
Did I? You did.
196
00:12:44,528 --> 00:12:47,759
You've spent the past couple of hours with Mr. Williams.
197
00:12:47,832 --> 00:12:48,958
Have I?
198
00:12:49,033 --> 00:12:51,001
Let's not play games, Mr. Rockford.
199
00:12:51,068 --> 00:12:54,003
I've been following you. I've also checked you out.
200
00:12:54,071 --> 00:12:55,868
You have a prison record.
201
00:12:55,940 --> 00:13:00,400
Consorting with a known felon is, I believe, a parole violation.
202
00:13:01,712 --> 00:13:03,543
You're gonna blow the whistle on me?
203
00:13:03,614 --> 00:13:05,479
I'm sure that won't be necessary.
204
00:13:05,549 --> 00:13:09,576
I just mentioned it to stimulate an atmosphere of cooperation.
205
00:13:10,021 --> 00:13:11,886
That's not what you stimulated.
206
00:13:11,956 --> 00:13:13,856
I'm not on parole, I got a full pardon.
207
00:13:13,924 --> 00:13:16,188
You've got about 10 seconds to make it through the door.
208
00:13:16,260 --> 00:13:18,194
Mr. Rockford, I just want to ask a few...
209
00:13:18,262 --> 00:13:20,230
Seven seconds, you're cutting it close.
210
00:13:20,297 --> 00:13:23,460
I'm sorry. I can see that I started off on the wrong foot.
211
00:13:23,534 --> 00:13:24,694
You've got five.
212
00:13:24,769 --> 00:13:26,259
Will you stop counting and listen to me?
213
00:13:26,337 --> 00:13:30,603
I just want to ask you a few questions. I'll make it worth your while.
214
00:13:31,442 --> 00:13:34,240
You have some kind of a deal with Moss Williams.
215
00:13:34,311 --> 00:13:36,643
Is that correct? He talked a deal.
216
00:13:36,714 --> 00:13:38,511
Did you accept? Why?
217
00:13:39,717 --> 00:13:43,483
Did he mention the property involved?
218
00:13:44,188 --> 00:13:45,314
What property?
219
00:13:45,389 --> 00:13:46,879
You're not answering the questions...
220
00:13:46,957 --> 00:13:48,822
Neither are you.
221
00:13:50,628 --> 00:13:51,959
All right.
222
00:13:53,631 --> 00:13:56,725
I'm with Midwest Marine and Casualty Insurance.
223
00:13:56,801 --> 00:14:00,100
Three years ago Moss Williams and a man named Harry Crown...
224
00:14:00,171 --> 00:14:02,230
stole a pearl necklace...
225
00:14:02,306 --> 00:14:05,867
insured by my company for a quarter of a million dollars.
226
00:14:07,344 --> 00:14:10,472
We were never able to prove the case against them.
227
00:14:10,548 --> 00:14:12,516
And you never recovered the necklace.
228
00:14:12,583 --> 00:14:16,383
They were arrested shortly after the theft on an unrelated charge.
229
00:14:16,454 --> 00:14:18,513
They've been in prison, but they're out now...
230
00:14:18,589 --> 00:14:21,456
and they're going to try to move those pearls.
231
00:14:21,525 --> 00:14:23,117
How do I fit in?
232
00:14:24,061 --> 00:14:26,894
My company already paid off on that claim.
233
00:14:27,364 --> 00:14:29,662
But we have an incentive program.
234
00:14:29,733 --> 00:14:33,965
Once our company pays a claim if an investigator can make a recovery...
235
00:14:34,038 --> 00:14:37,974
Midwest pays 25% of the salvaged value...
236
00:14:38,175 --> 00:14:40,803
as an incentive never to drop a case.
237
00:14:41,145 --> 00:14:43,545
I've been on this one for three years.
238
00:14:43,614 --> 00:14:45,275
Now that Moss Williams is out...
239
00:14:45,349 --> 00:14:48,341
I think I have a chance to pick up that money.
240
00:14:48,486 --> 00:14:49,510
With my help.
241
00:14:50,688 --> 00:14:52,155
If you're interested,
242
00:14:52,223 --> 00:14:54,521
I'd like us to talk to Mr. Cutter.
243
00:15:00,962 --> 00:15:03,931
Mr. Connally, I've got the agreement in front of me.
244
00:15:01,998 --> 00:15:04,990
No, sir, you're covered under sub-paragraph E.
245
00:15:05,068 --> 00:15:08,595
That's right, sir. We won't need a conversion statement.
246
00:15:11,141 --> 00:15:15,077
You're late, Ed. You know how Mr. Cutter gets when you're late for an appointment.
247
00:15:15,145 --> 00:15:16,612
Sorry, Rebecca. Mr. Cutter?
248
00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:19,375
Mr. Burch is here with a Mr... Yes, sir.
249
00:15:19,449 --> 00:15:21,076
He'll see you now.
250
00:15:26,523 --> 00:15:27,785
Mr. Rockford, isn't it?
251
00:15:27,857 --> 00:15:28,824
Yes.
252
00:15:28,892 --> 00:15:30,484
Please sit down.
253
00:15:30,793 --> 00:15:32,852
Ed, you're gonna have to fill me in.
254
00:15:32,929 --> 00:15:34,897
I didn't quite understand your phone message.
255
00:15:34,964 --> 00:15:37,762
You said something about $250,000 claim?
256
00:15:38,134 --> 00:15:40,295
That's right. We have reason to believe...
257
00:15:40,370 --> 00:15:43,999
a girl named Maria Heller has the necklace we paid off on.
258
00:15:44,073 --> 00:15:45,062
Who is she?
259
00:15:45,141 --> 00:15:46,608
An old girlfriend of Moss Williams.
260
00:15:46,676 --> 00:15:48,075
And Mr. Rockford?
261
00:15:48,144 --> 00:15:52,012
He's agreed to help me recover the necklace, for a percentage of the recovery fee.
262
00:15:52,081 --> 00:15:54,379
You've been looking for the necklace for three years.
263
00:15:54,450 --> 00:15:56,941
All of a sudden, you're gonna cut in Mr. Rockford. Why?
264
00:15:57,020 --> 00:15:59,045
Yeah, why?
265
00:15:59,756 --> 00:16:03,055
'Cause Williams and Crown want Rockford to find the girl.
266
00:16:03,126 --> 00:16:05,890
If she sees Williams or Crown, she'll run.
267
00:16:05,962 --> 00:16:09,728
If they see me, they'll run. So Rockford's the perfect inside man.
268
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:13,360
You're proposing that Mr. Rockford serve as our agent in this matter.
269
00:16:13,436 --> 00:16:15,063
It's worth a third to me.
270
00:16:15,138 --> 00:16:18,699
A third? For the perfect inside man?
271
00:16:19,209 --> 00:16:21,507
I've put in a lot of time on this case.
272
00:16:21,578 --> 00:16:25,412
I'm taking all the risks. For 60-40, I'll think about it.
273
00:16:27,850 --> 00:16:30,045
You get the 60? I do.
274
00:16:30,386 --> 00:16:31,751
Forget it.
275
00:16:32,755 --> 00:16:33,847
Okay.
276
00:16:36,559 --> 00:16:38,857
50%. In writing.
277
00:16:38,928 --> 00:16:40,293
You bet, in writing.
278
00:16:40,363 --> 00:16:42,695
Get one of our standard participation agreements.
279
00:16:42,765 --> 00:16:43,823
Yes, sir.
280
00:16:43,900 --> 00:16:46,198
Could you get me a description of the necklace...
281
00:16:46,269 --> 00:16:47,736
so I know what I'm looking for?
282
00:16:47,804 --> 00:16:49,203
Now we can do more than that.
283
00:16:49,272 --> 00:16:52,036
We keep records, photographic records of all our jewelry...
284
00:16:52,108 --> 00:16:53,507
and objects of art.
285
00:16:53,576 --> 00:16:56,067
Things of that nature. Mr. Rockford.
286
00:16:56,145 --> 00:16:57,635
Ed. Yes, sir.
287
00:16:59,515 --> 00:17:02,848
You know what Moss Williams will do if he finds you're working for us?
288
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:04,409
I know. Good.
289
00:17:05,054 --> 00:17:06,749
That 50% is gonna go down easier...
290
00:17:06,823 --> 00:17:09,792
knowing you're working with that on your mind.
291
00:17:15,732 --> 00:17:18,030
I'm here to see Moss. He doesn't wanna see you.
292
00:17:18,101 --> 00:17:21,002
He'll wanna hear what I have to say, Harry.
293
00:17:24,307 --> 00:17:25,399
Moss.
294
00:17:27,377 --> 00:17:29,572
We got nothing to talk about.
295
00:17:32,081 --> 00:17:35,175
I'll find her for you. What changed your mind?
296
00:17:36,386 --> 00:17:38,854
I've got this loan shark after me.
297
00:17:38,921 --> 00:17:41,219
He's about to break the fingers on my right hand.
298
00:17:41,291 --> 00:17:45,125
I figure it's a little better dealing with you than getting my hand ground up...
299
00:17:45,194 --> 00:17:46,627
if the price is right.
300
00:17:46,696 --> 00:17:49,563
You're too late, pal. We already found the girl.
301
00:17:49,632 --> 00:17:50,724
Is she here?
302
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,768
No, but we know where she is.
303
00:17:53,002 --> 00:17:55,562
Only you haven't made your move yet because you know...
304
00:17:55,638 --> 00:17:59,335
the minute she takes a look at either one of you, she's gonna rabbit.
305
00:17:59,409 --> 00:18:02,845
She's gonna take with her whatever it is you're so anxious to get back.
306
00:18:02,912 --> 00:18:05,039
Don't let him in, Moss. We can handle it.
307
00:18:05,114 --> 00:18:07,309
How? He's right. It's gonna take someone she's never...
308
00:18:07,383 --> 00:18:08,873
I got something to say and I say no.
309
00:18:08,951 --> 00:18:10,145
I say yes.
310
00:18:10,219 --> 00:18:11,948
We're not gonna argue with me, are we?
311
00:18:12,021 --> 00:18:15,081
'Cause when we argue with me we lose our teeth.
312
00:18:16,693 --> 00:18:19,093
All right, you're in for a third.
313
00:18:19,595 --> 00:18:21,426
She calls herself Valerie Thomas.
314
00:18:21,998 --> 00:18:23,659
She says her old man's dead.
315
00:18:23,733 --> 00:18:25,530
She drinks scotch and water, with no ice.
316
00:18:25,601 --> 00:18:27,626
She's got this thing about detail.
317
00:18:27,704 --> 00:18:30,229
That's how come she's always taking all these courses.
318
00:18:30,306 --> 00:18:33,400
Watch yourself with her 'cause she's real sharp.
319
00:18:51,761 --> 00:18:53,422
What's the matter?
320
00:18:54,063 --> 00:18:56,588
I don't know. Maybe you can tell me.
321
00:18:56,866 --> 00:18:58,766
What's wrong with that?
322
00:18:59,535 --> 00:19:00,900
Let me see.
323
00:19:04,173 --> 00:19:05,538
Everything.
324
00:19:07,643 --> 00:19:10,271
Don't worry. Nudes are very difficult.
325
00:19:10,813 --> 00:19:12,713
To tell you the truth...
326
00:19:12,782 --> 00:19:15,910
this is the first one I've ever had trouble with.
327
00:19:21,491 --> 00:19:23,652
What'll it be? Scotch and water for me.
328
00:19:23,726 --> 00:19:26,456
No ice, please. That's two with no ice.
329
00:19:26,863 --> 00:19:31,197
I don't care for ice either. It's a little habit I picked up in London.
330
00:19:31,367 --> 00:19:32,834
When were you in London?
331
00:19:32,902 --> 00:19:35,427
The last time a couple of years ago.
332
00:19:35,872 --> 00:19:37,965
About two years ago? Yeah.
333
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,871
That's when I was there. Where'd you stay?
334
00:19:39,942 --> 00:19:41,671
The Connaught.
335
00:19:41,844 --> 00:19:43,209
Dorchester.
336
00:19:44,147 --> 00:19:46,377
Business? Pleasure.
337
00:19:47,817 --> 00:19:49,114
Pleasure.
338
00:19:52,088 --> 00:19:54,682
I wonder what else we have in common?
339
00:19:59,695 --> 00:20:01,094
What'd you find out?
340
00:20:01,164 --> 00:20:03,359
Everything you gave me on her checks out.
341
00:20:03,433 --> 00:20:06,197
What about the pearls? You were supposed to find the pearls.
342
00:20:06,269 --> 00:20:08,464
I'm working on it. You're working too slow.
343
00:20:08,538 --> 00:20:11,735
Harry, if I push it any harder, I'm liable to explode it.
344
00:20:11,808 --> 00:20:13,901
Just let me do it my way, will you?
345
00:20:13,976 --> 00:20:16,706
How do we know that you haven't already found the pearls?
346
00:20:16,779 --> 00:20:18,269
What guarantee do we have...
347
00:20:18,347 --> 00:20:20,747
you're not planning on ripping them off for yourself?
348
00:20:20,817 --> 00:20:22,648
The best guarantee in the world.
349
00:20:22,718 --> 00:20:24,345
He don't wanna die.
350
00:20:24,420 --> 00:20:26,285
He's absolutely right.
351
00:20:27,223 --> 00:20:28,986
When do you see her again? Tonight.
352
00:20:29,058 --> 00:20:31,891
There's a new restaurant opening down at the Marina.
353
00:20:31,961 --> 00:20:34,088
I'll probably need another $50.
354
00:20:34,163 --> 00:20:35,528
Just hold it.
355
00:20:36,599 --> 00:20:39,090
We just gave you $200 the day before yesterday.
356
00:20:39,168 --> 00:20:40,499
How much today, Moss? 100 and...
357
00:20:40,570 --> 00:20:43,539
What am I supposed to do? I can't buy her a hot dog.
358
00:20:43,606 --> 00:20:45,164
She's not that kind of a lady.
359
00:20:45,241 --> 00:20:48,142
You're treating her like she was Princess Grace.
360
00:20:48,211 --> 00:20:49,473
She's a thief.
361
00:20:49,545 --> 00:20:51,706
But with very good taste.
362
00:21:08,931 --> 00:21:10,159
Hi. Hi.
363
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,325
I'm sorry I'm late. So am I.
364
00:21:19,709 --> 00:21:21,506
I was afraid I'd been stood up.
365
00:21:21,577 --> 00:21:24,341
No, you weren't. No, I wasn't.
366
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,912
I'll get my bag.
367
00:21:34,590 --> 00:21:36,581
Did you get tied up in traffic?
368
00:21:36,659 --> 00:21:39,560
I got trapped by a client. Showed up at my place.
369
00:21:39,629 --> 00:21:42,462
No appointment, no warning, just showed up.
370
00:21:42,598 --> 00:21:44,463
Lady client? No.
371
00:21:44,534 --> 00:21:47,697
It was an old friend. Well, a friend that was old.
372
00:21:48,504 --> 00:21:51,496
He wanted me to look after this.
373
00:21:52,141 --> 00:21:54,234
These things should be put in a vault...
374
00:21:54,310 --> 00:21:57,973
but the banks were closed, and I don't have any place to keep them.
375
00:21:58,047 --> 00:21:59,571
You mind riding shotgun with me?
376
00:21:59,649 --> 00:22:01,014
I'd love to.
377
00:22:01,083 --> 00:22:03,176
Say, this is a security building, isn't it?
378
00:22:03,252 --> 00:22:04,276
Yes.
379
00:22:04,353 --> 00:22:06,514
They probably have a vault downstairs.
380
00:22:06,589 --> 00:22:10,150
Would you mind asking if they'd lock it up? I'll pick it up in the morning.
381
00:22:10,226 --> 00:22:12,387
Why don't you just keep it in my safe?
382
00:22:12,461 --> 00:22:13,655
I didn't know you had one.
383
00:22:13,729 --> 00:22:15,492
Compliments of the architect.
384
00:22:15,965 --> 00:22:17,626
You got enough room in there?
385
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:19,099
Sure.
386
00:22:20,369 --> 00:22:23,236
I'll pick it up first thing in the morning, I promise.
387
00:22:23,306 --> 00:22:24,671
No problem.
388
00:22:51,534 --> 00:22:53,798
Why don't you just keep it in my safe?
389
00:22:53,869 --> 00:22:55,461
I didn't know you had one.
390
00:22:55,538 --> 00:22:57,028
Compliments of the...
391
00:24:03,506 --> 00:24:06,202
Still monkeying around with that tape recorder?
392
00:24:07,343 --> 00:24:11,575
I already got the truck washed, and I stopped by the cleaners for you.
393
00:24:12,448 --> 00:24:14,279
I got us some staples.
394
00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:22,487
I got it.
395
00:24:28,164 --> 00:24:29,756
What've you got?
396
00:24:31,567 --> 00:24:35,264
"17-24-32."
397
00:24:36,405 --> 00:24:37,804
What's this?
398
00:24:38,340 --> 00:24:42,401
I'd tell you it's none of your business, but that never stops you.
399
00:24:48,317 --> 00:24:49,477
Rocky.
400
00:24:49,552 --> 00:24:52,715
Don't you worry. I know how to work these things.
401
00:24:54,557 --> 00:24:57,924
What was them funny little clicking sounds?
402
00:24:59,962 --> 00:25:01,122
17...
403
00:25:02,098 --> 00:25:03,565
You know what I think?
404
00:25:03,632 --> 00:25:05,998
That sounds like the combination of a safe.
405
00:25:06,068 --> 00:25:08,093
It does? Yeah.
406
00:25:09,238 --> 00:25:11,570
What if I told you you're right?
407
00:25:12,274 --> 00:25:13,707
I don't understand.
408
00:25:13,776 --> 00:25:15,266
It's an idea I had a long time ago.
409
00:25:15,344 --> 00:25:17,039
I just never had a chance to use it.
410
00:25:17,113 --> 00:25:18,478
What kind of an idea?
411
00:25:18,547 --> 00:25:19,946
It's only brilliant.
412
00:25:20,015 --> 00:25:24,076
You see, safes are insulated on the outside but not on the inside.
413
00:25:24,286 --> 00:25:28,188
This recorder is sound-activated by this little box right here.
414
00:25:28,257 --> 00:25:31,920
The big problem is trying to find out a way to get this into the safe.
415
00:25:31,994 --> 00:25:33,757
Once you got that, you got no problem.
416
00:25:33,829 --> 00:25:37,595
Now when the combination is dialed, it's recorded automatically.
417
00:25:37,666 --> 00:25:40,464
That first, loud click you hear, that's zero.
418
00:25:40,536 --> 00:25:43,972
From then on you just count the clicks and you got it.
419
00:25:44,340 --> 00:25:46,672
How do you tell left from right?
420
00:25:47,009 --> 00:25:49,773
The first number has got to be one or the other, right?
421
00:25:49,845 --> 00:25:52,336
So, you go right, left, right.
422
00:25:52,414 --> 00:25:55,315
If that isn't it, you go left, right, left.
423
00:25:56,252 --> 00:25:57,742
You figured that out all by yourself?
424
00:25:57,820 --> 00:25:59,185
Yeah.
425
00:25:59,889 --> 00:26:02,255
Very interesting. Thanks.
426
00:26:02,525 --> 00:26:03,856
Who are you planning to rob?
427
00:26:03,926 --> 00:26:05,416
I'm not gonna rob anybody.
428
00:26:05,494 --> 00:26:07,724
What are you doing messing around with this stuff?
429
00:26:07,797 --> 00:26:08,821
It's just an experiment.
430
00:26:08,898 --> 00:26:10,422
Who are you planning to rob?
431
00:26:10,499 --> 00:26:12,524
I'm not gonna rob anybody.
432
00:26:19,475 --> 00:26:20,669
Darling, I'm sorry.
433
00:26:20,743 --> 00:26:24,235
I should have planned something that wouldn't keep me in the kitchen long.
434
00:26:24,313 --> 00:26:25,746
You want company?
435
00:26:25,815 --> 00:26:27,146
No.
436
00:26:27,383 --> 00:26:30,284
The secret to good cooking is concentration.
437
00:26:30,352 --> 00:26:33,412
And you're a distraction. I certainly hope so.
438
00:26:33,489 --> 00:26:36,219
Just give me five more minutes with that soufflé in there...
439
00:26:36,292 --> 00:26:39,090
and I promise you, dinner will be served.
440
00:26:39,495 --> 00:26:42,931
All this domesticity isn't gonna scare you off, is it?
441
00:26:43,132 --> 00:26:44,929
Not unless you're a bad cook.
442
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,695
I'm terrific.
443
00:27:40,890 --> 00:27:41,948
Becker.
444
00:27:42,691 --> 00:27:44,852
Hey, Dennis. Jim Rockford. How you doing, buddy?
445
00:27:47,696 --> 00:27:48,856
Dennis?
446
00:27:49,465 --> 00:27:50,727
No.
447
00:27:50,799 --> 00:27:53,267
What do you mean, no? I haven't asked you anything yet.
448
00:27:54,103 --> 00:27:55,400
You will.
449
00:27:55,471 --> 00:27:59,032
You've got some peculiar ideas about this department, Jim.
450
00:27:59,108 --> 00:28:00,905
This is not an information bureau.
451
00:28:01,543 --> 00:28:03,340
This is not your branch office.
452
00:28:03,545 --> 00:28:05,240
And I am not on your payroll.
453
00:28:05,347 --> 00:28:08,077
What's the matter, Dennis? The Captain been chewing on you?
454
00:28:08,217 --> 00:28:11,448
I'm tired, that's what's the matter, and I wanna go home.
455
00:28:12,655 --> 00:28:14,452
What if I could turn some hot jewelry?
456
00:28:14,857 --> 00:28:15,915
Can you?
457
00:28:16,191 --> 00:28:18,022
That was a "what if."
458
00:28:18,127 --> 00:28:21,255
And what if the insurance company paid off three years ago...
459
00:28:21,330 --> 00:28:22,797
and are offering a recovery fee?
460
00:28:22,865 --> 00:28:25,129
How long would the police hold on to the jewelry...
461
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:26,565
before I could collect my money?
462
00:28:26,769 --> 00:28:28,999
Listen, Jim, if you've got any information...
463
00:28:29,071 --> 00:28:30,732
How long, Dennis?
464
00:28:31,573 --> 00:28:33,302
I don't know. A couple of weeks, maybe.
465
00:28:33,943 --> 00:28:37,140
Couple of weeks? You mean you wouldn't need it for the trial?
466
00:28:37,646 --> 00:28:39,409
Not if we can get an appraisal.
467
00:28:39,815 --> 00:28:42,010
Get an expert statement admissible in court.
468
00:28:43,285 --> 00:28:44,479
What's going on, Jimbo?
469
00:28:45,654 --> 00:28:48,487
Why don't you hang around the precinct for a while, Dennis?
470
00:28:48,557 --> 00:28:50,718
I just may have something for you.
471
00:29:15,851 --> 00:29:17,819
Did you open the safe? I opened it.
472
00:29:17,886 --> 00:29:19,786
And the pearls? They're in there.
473
00:29:19,855 --> 00:29:20,879
Good.
474
00:29:20,956 --> 00:29:24,050
I told you that was the way when you said you had the combination.
475
00:29:24,126 --> 00:29:25,593
If we'd waited for a court order...
476
00:29:25,661 --> 00:29:27,526
done the whole thing legal and tidy...
477
00:29:27,596 --> 00:29:29,655
and the pearls hadn't been in there...
478
00:29:29,732 --> 00:29:31,962
we'd have tipped her to the whole thing.
479
00:29:32,034 --> 00:29:33,899
Okay, so you're right.
480
00:29:34,536 --> 00:29:37,937
So, now we give the combination to the police.
481
00:29:38,207 --> 00:29:40,971
We can't do that. Why not?
482
00:29:41,110 --> 00:29:44,307
If the police recover them, they'll hold them for material evidence.
483
00:29:44,380 --> 00:29:46,712
We'll have to wait for it to go through the courts.
484
00:29:46,782 --> 00:29:50,650
We'll have to wait nine months or more before we see a penny of the recovery fee.
485
00:29:50,719 --> 00:29:53,847
The police just get an expert and take a statement, that's it.
486
00:29:53,922 --> 00:29:56,447
They don't hold the pearls. Really?
487
00:29:56,625 --> 00:29:58,957
My understanding that... You're lying.
488
00:29:59,028 --> 00:30:01,588
If you're an insurance investigator, you know the rules.
489
00:30:01,663 --> 00:30:02,721
So who are you?
490
00:30:02,798 --> 00:30:04,197
Let me go. You know well who I am.
491
00:30:04,266 --> 00:30:05,324
I don't think so.
492
00:30:05,401 --> 00:30:08,461
I wanna know who you are, and what's going down.
493
00:30:13,742 --> 00:30:15,334
Come on, let's get out of here.
494
00:30:15,411 --> 00:30:17,140
He's gonna be out for a while.
495
00:30:55,050 --> 00:30:58,019
Yeah. Jimmy? You all right?
496
00:30:58,821 --> 00:31:00,311
Where you at?
497
00:31:00,389 --> 00:31:02,949
No, don't tell me. They probably got this phone tapped.
498
00:31:03,325 --> 00:31:04,485
The cops?
499
00:31:04,726 --> 00:31:06,193
They been here three times.
500
00:31:06,295 --> 00:31:08,024
They took your new tape machine.
501
00:31:08,397 --> 00:31:10,194
I think they got this joint staked out.
502
00:31:10,766 --> 00:31:13,257
Sonny, you really done it this time.
503
00:31:13,635 --> 00:31:15,193
I stole a pearl necklace, right?
504
00:31:15,370 --> 00:31:18,362
That's right. Off from some lady named Valerie Thomas.
505
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,408
Her name's not Valerie Thomas.
506
00:31:20,476 --> 00:31:22,842
Yes, it is. Been all over the television.
507
00:31:24,446 --> 00:31:27,176
Whatever gave me the idea that Moss Williams was stupid?
508
00:31:27,749 --> 00:31:29,148
I should have stopped you.
509
00:31:29,218 --> 00:31:31,652
The minute I seen you with that combination...
510
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,244
I should have stopped you.
511
00:31:33,322 --> 00:31:36,018
Rocky, if it makes you feel any better, I didn't steal it.
512
00:31:36,892 --> 00:31:39,190
That's what I keep telling myself.
513
00:31:39,261 --> 00:31:42,958
Now, you listen to me, sonny. You stay away from this place, you hear?
514
00:31:43,031 --> 00:31:45,659
And you better get hold of that lawyer friend of yours.
515
00:31:45,968 --> 00:31:47,936
I think you're gonna need her.
516
00:31:48,003 --> 00:31:51,166
Don't worry, Rocky. I'll get out from under this.
517
00:31:59,047 --> 00:32:00,105
Becker.
518
00:32:00,549 --> 00:32:04,610
I'm timing the call, Dennis so don't bother putting a trace on it.
519
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,778
Come on in, Jim.
520
00:32:06,021 --> 00:32:07,488
Not a chance.
521
00:32:07,656 --> 00:32:09,715
I know a nice tight frame when I'm in one.
522
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:11,917
You didn't do it?
523
00:32:11,994 --> 00:32:13,655
That's right.I didn't do it.
524
00:32:13,729 --> 00:32:15,458
You know how much we got says you did?
525
00:32:15,531 --> 00:32:17,556
You got a small, black notebook.
526
00:32:18,100 --> 00:32:19,226
Found at the scene.
527
00:32:19,301 --> 00:32:20,233
Planted.
528
00:32:20,435 --> 00:32:23,996
Which has, in your handwriting, the name of Valerie Thomas.
529
00:32:24,072 --> 00:32:25,437
Where she goes, what she does...
530
00:32:25,507 --> 00:32:28,237
What she likes, from the time you were setting her up.
531
00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:29,538
I can explain that.
532
00:32:29,645 --> 00:32:30,907
Sure you can.
533
00:32:30,979 --> 00:32:34,608
Which has, in your handwriting, the combination of her safe.
534
00:32:34,683 --> 00:32:37,413
That tape recorder gimmick, very clever.
535
00:32:38,220 --> 00:32:40,552
Listen Jim, come on in, and we'll talk about it.
536
00:32:41,089 --> 00:32:43,057
Dennis, I can tell you who pulled that job.
537
00:32:43,125 --> 00:32:46,185
Two guys. Moss Williams and Harry Crown.
538
00:32:46,728 --> 00:32:50,323
Thank you very much for that information, but how come...
539
00:32:50,666 --> 00:32:54,466
your fingerprints are all over the lady's safe, and theirs aren't.
540
00:32:55,137 --> 00:32:57,162
Because they wore gloves and I didn't.
541
00:32:57,239 --> 00:33:01,039
Look, I admit I opened the safe but I didn't steal the pearls.
542
00:33:01,109 --> 00:33:02,974
I just looked at them.
543
00:33:26,001 --> 00:33:27,059
Hi.
544
00:33:27,869 --> 00:33:29,097
What are you doing here?
545
00:33:29,171 --> 00:33:30,968
Valerie, I've got a pain in the neck...
546
00:33:31,039 --> 00:33:32,836
and an incredible story that goes with it.
547
00:33:32,908 --> 00:33:34,205
Tell it to the police.
548
00:33:34,276 --> 00:33:36,744
No, not quite yet. It's you I wanna talk to.
549
00:33:36,812 --> 00:33:39,440
Why? There's nothing left in the safe.
550
00:33:39,615 --> 00:33:43,551
Don't you think you ought to be moving on now to greener fields?
551
00:33:43,685 --> 00:33:46,051
Of course. You want the insurance money, too.
552
00:33:46,121 --> 00:33:48,316
You see, darling, they haven't paid off yet.
553
00:33:48,390 --> 00:33:51,723
That's not a very nice thing to say. You make me sound like a crook.
554
00:33:51,793 --> 00:33:53,488
Your fingerprints were on the safe.
555
00:33:53,562 --> 00:33:57,089
They found a little notebook that had all kinds of details in it about me.
556
00:33:57,165 --> 00:34:00,965
And the cops told you that I was an ex-con. So it all adds up?
557
00:34:01,036 --> 00:34:02,697
Well, it doesn't. Trust me.
558
00:34:02,771 --> 00:34:04,033
Trust you?
559
00:34:05,007 --> 00:34:07,100
Why would I do a dumb thing like that?
560
00:34:07,175 --> 00:34:08,938
Because I need your help.
561
00:34:09,011 --> 00:34:11,104
You want me to smuggle you across the border?
562
00:34:11,179 --> 00:34:14,376
No, I want you to lend me a $1,000.
563
00:34:17,819 --> 00:34:19,411
Are you serious?
564
00:34:19,888 --> 00:34:23,415
$1,000 will get your pearls back and get me out of a jam.
565
00:34:25,427 --> 00:34:28,692
Either you've got more gall than anybody I've ever come up against...
566
00:34:28,764 --> 00:34:31,426
or you're innocent. I'm not sure which.
567
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,690
Take a chance.
568
00:34:36,238 --> 00:34:38,001
Two tickets, please.
569
00:34:42,644 --> 00:34:44,544
Listen Jim, I have never been...
570
00:34:44,613 --> 00:34:46,979
I don't think this is really... I just wouldn't...
571
00:34:48,150 --> 00:34:49,583
I don't know, Doctor.
572
00:34:49,651 --> 00:34:51,744
I just don't seem to get anything out of it.
573
00:34:53,055 --> 00:34:54,386
I see.
574
00:34:55,190 --> 00:34:56,851
Let me try a few experiments.
575
00:34:57,626 --> 00:34:59,150
Of course.
576
00:35:09,204 --> 00:35:10,330
Why did you bring her?
577
00:35:10,405 --> 00:35:12,896
I didn't bring her. She brought me.
578
00:35:13,041 --> 00:35:14,770
Angel, will you relax?
579
00:35:14,843 --> 00:35:16,743
After what I been through?
580
00:35:16,812 --> 00:35:20,441
Cops been climbing on me all day long asking me if I knew where you was.
581
00:35:20,515 --> 00:35:23,245
Now you know what happens if they find me with you?
582
00:35:23,318 --> 00:35:25,786
It's a parole violation, you go back to the joint.
583
00:35:25,854 --> 00:35:27,788
Did you talk to Manny Tolan?
584
00:35:27,856 --> 00:35:30,324
You didn't even tell me why I was pumping him.
585
00:35:30,392 --> 00:35:33,919
Moss has to get the pearls appraised before he can deal.
586
00:35:33,995 --> 00:35:36,122
He can't get them appraised.
587
00:35:36,665 --> 00:35:38,690
Not from a Beverly Hills jeweler.
588
00:35:38,767 --> 00:35:41,395
There'd be cops dropping out of every palm tree.
589
00:35:41,470 --> 00:35:44,928
There's only one man in town that can do the appraisal, keep it safe.
590
00:35:45,006 --> 00:35:48,874
And that's Manny Tolan. Now, is there a meeting or isn't there?
591
00:35:49,111 --> 00:35:51,341
Cost me eight Irish and water.
592
00:36:02,124 --> 00:36:03,751
Green Frog Motel.
593
00:36:09,898 --> 00:36:11,160
Room 211.
594
00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:16,362
9:00.
595
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,639
Doesn't give us much time. 9:00?
596
00:36:23,645 --> 00:36:26,443
I don't think I like that part about "us."
597
00:36:26,515 --> 00:36:29,245
You're going to impersonate Manny Tolan.
598
00:36:29,317 --> 00:36:31,649
I don't look nothing like Manny.
599
00:36:33,422 --> 00:36:35,390
Have they ever seen him?
600
00:36:36,425 --> 00:36:37,892
I don't know.
601
00:36:38,126 --> 00:36:40,117
Chances are they haven't.
602
00:36:40,595 --> 00:36:42,324
Chances are?
603
00:36:42,831 --> 00:36:44,526
Let me tell you my plan.
604
00:36:45,133 --> 00:36:48,398
Whatever it is, I don't want nothing to do with it.
605
00:36:49,638 --> 00:36:51,538
What is it?
606
00:36:51,606 --> 00:36:53,597
First, we gotta get Manny out of the picture.
607
00:36:53,675 --> 00:36:56,735
Jimmy, you can't do that. They got the meeting all set up.
608
00:36:56,812 --> 00:36:58,905
Then we ring you in as Manny.
609
00:36:58,980 --> 00:37:02,882
Moss and Harry show up at the Green Frog Motel with the pearls.
610
00:37:03,084 --> 00:37:05,814
Now, I'll be in the next room with a cannon.
611
00:37:05,887 --> 00:37:08,048
The minute you get your hand on those pearls...
612
00:37:08,123 --> 00:37:11,149
I come busting through the door and catch them flat-footed...
613
00:37:11,226 --> 00:37:14,218
we get the necklace, and I get free of the cops.
614
00:37:14,296 --> 00:37:15,786
What do I get?
615
00:37:17,466 --> 00:37:19,331
I'll split the reward money with you.
616
00:37:19,401 --> 00:37:21,301
You mean you'll split your sentence with me.
617
00:37:21,369 --> 00:37:23,234
I ain't touching that.
618
00:37:24,606 --> 00:37:26,096
You got a dime? No.
619
00:37:26,174 --> 00:37:27,539
How's that?
620
00:37:27,709 --> 00:37:28,733
You got a dime?
621
00:37:28,810 --> 00:37:29,799
Nice.
622
00:37:29,878 --> 00:37:31,209
Very good.
623
00:37:31,947 --> 00:37:33,778
And this? Better.
624
00:37:35,650 --> 00:37:36,981
I see.
625
00:37:37,619 --> 00:37:38,677
Yes.
626
00:37:38,954 --> 00:37:41,684
Listen, Jimmy, you and me are friends, old buddy buds.
627
00:37:45,391 --> 00:37:47,086
What is Manny Tolan's phone number?
628
00:37:46,756 --> 00:37:48,314
I've done all I could. But you...
629
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,286
Jimmy.
630
00:37:50,697 --> 00:37:53,632
It's 555-3420.
631
00:37:56,102 --> 00:37:58,127
Lady, why don't you say something?
632
00:37:58,204 --> 00:38:01,037
Why do they allow those movies to be shown?
633
00:38:06,679 --> 00:38:07,737
Yeah?
634
00:38:07,981 --> 00:38:09,039
Hello, Manny?
635
00:38:09,249 --> 00:38:10,238
Who is this?
636
00:38:10,683 --> 00:38:12,844
It's Moss Williams. I been thinking...
637
00:38:12,919 --> 00:38:17,015
it's not too smart moving those pearls clear across town. They're hot.
638
00:38:17,590 --> 00:38:20,058
They were hot when you made the appointment.
639
00:38:20,126 --> 00:38:21,388
I made time for you.
640
00:38:21,861 --> 00:38:25,194
Yeah. I'm not saying we call the meeting off. No.
641
00:38:25,265 --> 00:38:27,028
You know the Sun Val Lodge on Ventura?
642
00:38:27,500 --> 00:38:29,297
I'll meet you there at 9:00:
643
00:38:29,369 --> 00:38:30,927
I don't get out to the valley much.
644
00:38:31,604 --> 00:38:33,196
I'd have to charge you travel time.
645
00:38:33,273 --> 00:38:35,867
Yeah, whatever you say. I'm in 118.
646
00:38:37,744 --> 00:38:39,177
118. Sun Val.
647
00:38:39,579 --> 00:38:41,809
All right, I'll see you there.
648
00:38:44,450 --> 00:38:45,644
It's all set.
649
00:38:45,718 --> 00:38:47,276
It's an easy gig, Angel.
650
00:38:47,353 --> 00:38:48,843
I ain't doing it.
651
00:38:53,159 --> 00:38:55,184
The other pearls are the same quality.
652
00:38:55,261 --> 00:38:59,527
Going by the picture, how much would you say it's worth on the street?
653
00:39:00,433 --> 00:39:03,732
I gotta get my medicine. Ulcers. I'll be right back.
654
00:39:12,211 --> 00:39:13,371
It ain't gonna work.
655
00:39:13,446 --> 00:39:15,971
You and your plan. They brought one pearl.
656
00:39:16,049 --> 00:39:18,142
What am I gonna tell? What am I gonna say?
657
00:39:18,217 --> 00:39:21,118
$50,000? $75,000? What am I gonna tell them?
658
00:39:21,187 --> 00:39:22,950
Tell them it's paste.
659
00:39:23,289 --> 00:39:25,052
Why? Go on, tell them.
660
00:39:25,124 --> 00:39:26,682
I'm not gonna tell them that.
661
00:39:26,759 --> 00:39:29,125
Yes, you are. Now, go on.
662
00:39:34,767 --> 00:39:36,496
How's your stomach?
663
00:39:37,737 --> 00:39:39,728
Give me that thing. Give me that.
664
00:39:39,806 --> 00:39:41,774
All right, what's it worth?
665
00:39:41,841 --> 00:39:44,901
Well, depends on the workmanship.
666
00:39:45,078 --> 00:39:46,602
If it's good...
667
00:39:46,779 --> 00:39:50,237
the necklace could bring $50, $75.
668
00:39:52,185 --> 00:39:53,914
What are you talking about?
669
00:39:53,987 --> 00:39:56,353
It's paste. It can't be.
670
00:39:56,422 --> 00:39:59,050
Gentlemen, you asked for an expert opinion.
671
00:39:59,125 --> 00:40:00,820
Paste? Yeah, here.
672
00:40:00,893 --> 00:40:03,521
Take a close look for yourselves. Come on, look at this.
673
00:40:03,596 --> 00:40:06,121
Now, do you see the pale blue aura?
674
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,599
That's what we call it, an "aura."
675
00:40:09,002 --> 00:40:10,492
You see it? Yeah.
676
00:40:10,570 --> 00:40:12,765
It's bad. Let me show you something else.
677
00:40:12,839 --> 00:40:14,864
Look at this. Look closer.
678
00:40:14,941 --> 00:40:16,306
It's round.
679
00:40:16,776 --> 00:40:19,176
It's a pearl. It's manmade.
680
00:40:19,245 --> 00:40:21,179
Not even one of your cultivated pearls.
681
00:40:21,247 --> 00:40:23,078
You see, nature don't make them perfect.
682
00:40:23,149 --> 00:40:26,312
That's the thing you gotta keep in mind. Pearls are tricky.
683
00:40:26,386 --> 00:40:28,684
Anything else I can do for you?
684
00:40:30,456 --> 00:40:32,754
No, you've done plenty already.
685
00:40:32,925 --> 00:40:34,290
You know what I'm thinking, Moss?
686
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,827
Shut up.
687
00:40:36,162 --> 00:40:38,289
I'm thinking the same thing.
688
00:40:49,976 --> 00:40:51,466
Angel, you were great.
689
00:40:51,544 --> 00:40:53,944
We got nothing, no pearls, nothing.
690
00:40:54,013 --> 00:40:56,447
You picked up an easy $200. Easy?
691
00:40:56,549 --> 00:40:57,516
I could've got killed.
692
00:40:57,583 --> 00:40:59,278
No, they wouldn't do a thing like that.
693
00:40:59,385 --> 00:41:04,049
No, I'm serious, you were really great. That business about the "pale blue aura."
694
00:41:04,123 --> 00:41:05,351
You had me believing it.
695
00:41:05,425 --> 00:41:06,915
I don't even wanna talk to you.
696
00:41:06,993 --> 00:41:09,553
I'm here with psychos and you're hiding in the bathroom.
697
00:41:09,629 --> 00:41:12,029
I was never so glad to get rid of anybody in my life.
698
00:41:12,098 --> 00:41:14,532
We didn't exactly get rid of them.
699
00:41:15,868 --> 00:41:17,062
What do you mean?
700
00:41:17,136 --> 00:41:19,400
You told them what we had was paste.
701
00:41:19,472 --> 00:41:23,875
They're gonna think I switched the pearls. They are gonna come after me.
702
00:41:25,011 --> 00:41:27,206
Why did you have me say that?
703
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:30,008
'Cause I have an idea. Tell you what we're gonna do next.
704
00:41:30,083 --> 00:41:31,914
You and me, we ain't gonna do nothing next.
705
00:41:31,984 --> 00:41:35,181
I'm through. You're always talking about what good friends we are.
706
00:41:35,254 --> 00:41:38,246
If we were good friends, you wouldn't stuck me into this deal.
707
00:41:38,324 --> 00:41:40,815
Fooling with those guys, I could've ended up in a sack.
708
00:41:40,893 --> 00:41:42,827
You want company, you look somewhere else...
709
00:41:42,895 --> 00:41:46,058
'cause from now on, I'm gonna take care of myself.
710
00:42:01,814 --> 00:42:03,076
What are you doing here?
711
00:42:03,149 --> 00:42:05,014
Can I talk to you? It's important.
712
00:42:07,186 --> 00:42:09,051
All right. Come on in.
713
00:42:13,993 --> 00:42:15,483
All right. You said it was important.
714
00:42:15,561 --> 00:42:16,653
Yeah, it is.
715
00:42:16,729 --> 00:42:18,959
Hey, Manny, what do you want?
716
00:42:20,900 --> 00:42:22,060
Manny?
717
00:42:23,436 --> 00:42:25,199
I ain't Manny Tolan.
718
00:42:27,306 --> 00:42:29,774
Why don't we start with who you are?
719
00:42:29,842 --> 00:42:31,571
Names don't matter.
720
00:42:32,211 --> 00:42:34,805
Angel. Everybody just calls me Angel.
721
00:42:39,919 --> 00:42:42,114
Why'd you come on like you was Manny?
722
00:42:42,188 --> 00:42:45,157
'Cause this friend of mine, he kind of pushed me into it.
723
00:42:45,224 --> 00:42:46,384
What friend?
724
00:42:46,459 --> 00:42:49,986
He's a guy that I did time with, guy named Jim Rockford.
725
00:42:51,998 --> 00:42:53,056
Rockford.
726
00:42:53,132 --> 00:42:55,259
Yeah, I'm not trying to get him in any trouble.
727
00:42:55,334 --> 00:42:58,599
He got me in this trouble. He doesn't care about me, he never did.
728
00:42:58,671 --> 00:43:01,936
All I want... I just wanna clear myself. You understand?
729
00:43:02,008 --> 00:43:04,067
Where's Manny? What happened to Manny?
730
00:43:04,143 --> 00:43:06,839
Rockford mousetrapped him from the motel.
731
00:43:06,913 --> 00:43:08,710
He made me come on like I was Manny.
732
00:43:08,781 --> 00:43:11,375
I didn't want to do it. I said, "I don't wanna do it."
733
00:43:11,450 --> 00:43:12,712
You ever say no to him?
734
00:43:12,785 --> 00:43:14,343
What are you telling us all this for?
735
00:43:14,420 --> 00:43:18,584
Like I said, I just wanna clear myself with you guys and with Manny.
736
00:43:19,225 --> 00:43:20,852
I mean, you were bound to find out.
737
00:43:20,927 --> 00:43:23,293
He didn't think that but I know. You'll find out.
738
00:43:23,362 --> 00:43:25,956
Then, who do you come for? You come for him and me.
739
00:43:26,032 --> 00:43:28,398
It's not like I'm trying to burn Rockford.
740
00:43:28,467 --> 00:43:32,164
Because you're not gonna mess with him. You got the pearls.
741
00:43:35,107 --> 00:43:37,405
You mean they aren't paste? No.
742
00:43:37,476 --> 00:43:38,841
He told me to say that.
743
00:43:38,911 --> 00:43:41,539
He was just buying time. They're real.
744
00:43:41,981 --> 00:43:45,781
I mean, if you don't believe me, go show them to Manny Tolan.
745
00:43:51,891 --> 00:43:53,256
It's flash.
746
00:43:56,362 --> 00:43:57,693
It's what?
747
00:43:57,763 --> 00:44:01,324
Good quality, but never saw the inside of an oyster.
748
00:44:01,601 --> 00:44:04,297
That ain't a phony. It can't be a phony.
749
00:44:04,370 --> 00:44:08,500
I spent 40 years in this business. I'm telling you that ain't worth two bits.
750
00:44:08,574 --> 00:44:11,873
Jimmy ain't got the real ones. I know that for sure.
751
00:44:15,748 --> 00:44:19,275
If Rockford doesn't have them, and we haven't got them...
752
00:44:19,418 --> 00:44:21,648
who's got them? I don't know.
753
00:44:26,492 --> 00:44:29,154
I do. The girl's got them.
754
00:44:29,228 --> 00:44:30,388
The girl? What do you mean?
755
00:44:30,463 --> 00:44:31,862
Think about it, will you?
756
00:44:31,931 --> 00:44:33,956
It makes sense. No, it don't.
757
00:44:34,033 --> 00:44:37,901
People with that kind of jewelry always have copies, right?
758
00:44:38,371 --> 00:44:41,238
So, while we think we're ripping off the girl...
759
00:44:41,307 --> 00:44:44,037
she's ripping off the insurance company.
760
00:44:44,744 --> 00:44:46,006
We've been suckered.
761
00:44:46,078 --> 00:44:48,911
It should've worked. The way we had it figured, it should've.
762
00:44:48,981 --> 00:44:51,609
It's gonna work just like we planned.
763
00:44:52,451 --> 00:44:54,476
Rockford still takes the rap.
764
00:44:54,553 --> 00:44:55,747
How do you know?
765
00:44:55,821 --> 00:44:57,618
Because I know human nature.
766
00:45:26,252 --> 00:45:29,244
What'd I tell you? She put the real ones back.
767
00:45:30,589 --> 00:45:33,490
Human nature. Give me the phonies.
768
00:45:38,464 --> 00:45:41,058
This lady is in for one big surprise.
769
00:45:46,439 --> 00:45:49,374
Let's get out of here and move these things.
770
00:46:20,172 --> 00:46:21,571
Do you mind?
771
00:46:23,075 --> 00:46:25,270
You didn't ask the last time.
772
00:46:32,385 --> 00:46:35,286
You should have seen me, Jimmy. I did it just like you said.
773
00:46:35,354 --> 00:46:37,822
I was selling you out and they was buying.
774
00:46:37,890 --> 00:46:39,585
I should have gone in for bunco.
775
00:46:39,658 --> 00:46:43,150
No, seriously, I'm not lying to you. I think I got a real talent there.
776
00:46:44,697 --> 00:46:47,598
They're worth about a quarter of a million.
777
00:46:48,034 --> 00:46:49,626
Whatever's fair.
778
00:46:51,103 --> 00:46:52,365
How much?
779
00:46:52,671 --> 00:46:53,638
Quarter of a million.
780
00:46:54,507 --> 00:46:56,475
That's what they're insured for...
781
00:46:56,542 --> 00:46:58,737
but we don't expect that much.
782
00:46:58,978 --> 00:47:03,142
What you two bums can expect is about a year and a half in traction.
783
00:47:03,983 --> 00:47:05,314
What the hell are you talking about?
784
00:47:05,384 --> 00:47:07,409
Paste.
785
00:47:07,653 --> 00:47:10,121
You're trying to stiff us with paste.
786
00:47:10,189 --> 00:47:12,589
Those are not paste. No. Listen.
787
00:47:12,992 --> 00:47:16,189
What we ripped off the first time, that was paste.
788
00:47:16,495 --> 00:47:17,621
But Moss and me...
789
00:47:17,696 --> 00:47:19,994
We went back and we made the switch.
790
00:47:28,808 --> 00:47:30,435
He took us, Harry.
791
00:47:31,310 --> 00:47:34,245
You know that? He really took us.
792
00:47:35,648 --> 00:47:39,243
When I told Moss these were flash, I nearly choked.
793
00:47:40,553 --> 00:47:43,954
These are the finest pearls I've seen in five years...
794
00:47:44,023 --> 00:47:46,753
worth a quarter of a million, at least.
795
00:47:47,093 --> 00:47:49,891
And they put them right back in the safe.
796
00:47:56,135 --> 00:47:57,500
You did it.
797
00:47:57,803 --> 00:47:59,430
Yeah, I did, didn't I?
798
00:47:59,505 --> 00:48:02,133
I helped. Didn't I help?
799
00:48:02,808 --> 00:48:04,469
We couldn't have done it without you.
800
00:48:04,543 --> 00:48:06,909
You know, you make a great informer.
801
00:48:06,979 --> 00:48:08,378
It's a gift.
802
00:48:09,315 --> 00:48:13,012
Fellows, I don't know how to say thank you, but I have to start somewhere.
803
00:48:13,085 --> 00:48:15,178
Would you mind starting with Sgt. Becker?
804
00:48:15,254 --> 00:48:17,017
I will.
805
00:48:18,824 --> 00:48:22,225
Jimmy. Listen, I've been thinking about it.
806
00:48:22,828 --> 00:48:24,455
You and me work pretty good together.
807
00:48:24,530 --> 00:48:25,758
Yeah.
808
00:48:25,831 --> 00:48:28,595
I mean, if we was to turn your mind to it...
809
00:48:28,667 --> 00:48:30,294
I'm not talking about hitting friends...
810
00:48:30,369 --> 00:48:34,066
Angel, didn't we have this conversation once before?
811
00:48:34,607 --> 00:48:36,404
Over bread and water?
812
00:48:38,077 --> 00:48:40,477
Yeah. I believe we did.
813
00:48:40,613 --> 00:48:43,241
Sgt. Becker? This is Valerie Thomas...
814
00:48:43,816 --> 00:48:45,306
I have a rather...
815
00:48:45,384 --> 00:48:48,444
Actually, it's a rather embarrassing situation.
816
00:48:48,587 --> 00:48:50,782
It's about my pearl necklace.
817
00:48:51,624 --> 00:48:53,387
Yes, I know you are.
818
00:48:54,827 --> 00:48:58,354
An APB? That is one of the things I was concerned about.
819
00:48:58,764 --> 00:49:02,325
You see, from time to time I have misplaced the necklace.
820
00:49:02,601 --> 00:49:05,798
Just a few minutes ago, I was going through my glove drawer...
821
00:49:05,871 --> 00:49:08,465
and there it was, can you believe it?
822
00:49:09,875 --> 00:49:14,107
Yes, that is what I'm saying. I have the pearls, they weren't stolen.
823
00:49:14,180 --> 00:49:17,411
Of course, I realize what I've done and that's why I'm calling.
824
00:49:17,483 --> 00:49:21,180
I thought if you could handle the warrant on poor Mr. Rockford...
825
00:49:21,253 --> 00:49:23,346
I could handle the apology.
826
00:49:24,823 --> 00:49:26,814
Yes, thank you very much.
