I'm gonna give you
my company.

It's worth
about $200 million.

There's no other person in the
world I'd trust with my net worth.

Thanks, Beth.

I'll send you a bill.

Now that you're worth
$200 million,

maybe you'll pay it
before Christmas.

The agreed price
is $20 million.

And a fair price it is.

That puts you pretty high
on Genosa's list.

You sold him a bucket
of sand for $20 million.

You can only
kill somebody once.

If you plan to shut me up,

you'd better do it
right here and now.

This is Jim Rockford.

At the tone, leave your name
and message.

I'll get back to you.

Hi, Jim.
We couldn't reach you,

so we went ahead
with the job,

and I know
you're really gonna dig it.

But if you don't, I suppose
we could always tear it out.

Yeah.

Look, do you know
I've been standing out front

for 10 minutes
waiting for you?

Now if I had my own truck,
I'd drive over myself,

but you said you'd pick
me up in 20 minutes.

We gotta be
at the airport at 2:30.

Now we ain't gonna make it.

We'll make it.
Relax, will you?

Relax? Relax?

Well, you know it ain't every
day old Aaron comes visiting.

Rocky, will you
grab yourself a beer

and turn on the roller derby.
I'll be there in 15 minutes.

Mr. Rockford. Hold it.

Who are you guys?
What do you want?

Shut up.
Come along quietly.

Hey, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

I'm sure
there's some kind of mistake.

Sure if we just talk
about this,

we'll all end up
having a nice big laugh.

Look, the thing of it is I'm
late for another appointment.

In.
Right.

Let's go.

Come on,
get this pig started.

I'm trying.
It must be flooded.

Well, try pumping it.
Shut up!

Don't listen to him. Just put
your foot down and hold it.

Hey, mister.
A little trouble?

Yeah. It seems to be flooded
or something.

Hey listen, why don't you guys
stay here? I'll go get a mechanic.

Hey, Dan. Dan, I gotta
borrow your car. Thanks.

What's that?

What's what?

That.

Oh. I had to borrow it.

Well, Jim, we can't go pick up
Aaron Ironwood in no car like that.

Why not?

Well, what's he gonna think, we come
rolling up in some busted down car

with writing and stuff
all over it?

Oh, give me the keys to the
house. I gotta make a phone call.

And look at you.
Look at how you're dressed.

Couldn't even wear a tie
or something?

Well, why do we
gotta wear a tie?

Because Aaron
is gonna wear a tie.

Hey, wait a minute. I thought
we were going to the airport

to pick somebody up. Did I miss
something? Did somebody die?

We wanna make
a good impression.

Now I gotta go hide that thing
and rent a sedan to pick him up in.

What are you limping for?

I went fishing. Fell
off the end of the pier.

Detective Becker, please.

Yeah. Hey, Dennis, it's Jim.

Hi, Jim. Guess what?

Hey, I'd like
to ask you a favor.

I took the Lieutenant's Exam
and I'm fifth on the list.

That's great. Look, Dennis. I
had a little run in with some guys

and I got their license number.
You want to take it down?

You know what that means, Jim?

Yeah. Yeah.
If we can get a make,

I'll know
who was chasing me.

No. It means
if I do well on the oral,

I could make lieutenant
in two or three months.

Now, Seibert and Dillman
made the captain's list

and they'll be moving up.
How about that?

Dennis, do you want to
take this number down?

You know, I figured if I study
hard for two or three months

and take the Academy
refresher course,

I'd do pretty good.
But fifth!

Boy, I never figured
I'd score that high.

Dennis.
Yeah?

I think it's great. I congratulate
you. I will send you a gift.

Now, would you like to address
yourself to this little problem I have?

Okay, Jim. Go ahead.

All right. Three guys
in a black Cadillac

just tried to pick me up
at gunpoint.

Their license number
is 271 IEW.

Why?
You working on something?

No, no. I can't figure it. I
never saw any of them before.

Okay, Jim. I'll run it.

Thanks, Dennis.
And congratulations.

Yeah.
Hey, tell Rocky, will you?

Yeah. Sure.

He's gonna love it.

Who tried
to pick you up at gunpoint?

Guess what?

Dennis just made
the lieutenant's list.

He's fifth on the list.

Jimmy, what are you
fooling around with now?

How about that?
Fifth on the list.

He said a couple of stiffs
are just about to make captain,

in two or three months
he may make lieutenant.

Look, when are you
gonna quit fooling around

with this crazy business and
get into something worthwhile?

Look at old Aaron.
He started from the bottom.

No mother, no father,
living in foster homes

and he's already got himself
$100 million or more.

Yeah. Well, Dennis
thought you'd like to know.

You know, I can't help feeling
that meeting up with old Aaron

is gonna be
awful good for you.

I feel that he's gonna wanna to take
you in on one of his projects, maybe.

Like, a real estate company

or even
his School of Success.

Oh, yeah.
I'd really like that.

Remember when he first
came to live with us,

right after his folks
was killed?

How you was always sticking
up for him in school?

There was that one kid who was
always trying to beat up on Aaron.

What was his name?
Remember?

What kid?

The one who was always trying
to beat up on old Aaron.

I don't remember.
LeBaron.

Tommy LeBaron.

Yeah, Tom something,
I think.

Yes, sir. I'll bet you old
Aaron ain't never gonna forget

what you done for him.

I'll bet he's gonna wanna
take you in with him.

Even after they took him away from
us and put him in a foster home,

you kids
was just like that.

Dad.
Huh?

Shut up.

Shut up, huh?
Yeah. Shut up.

He's got a trucking division,
too. Don't you forget that.

Bully for him.

You're beginning
to make me mad, sonny.

Well that's fine, because
you're beginning to make me mad.

You think
I'm not worth spit.

All right. I'm not worth
$200 million,

I don't wear electric blue
suits, I don't have a private jet,

but I'm not exactly
a failure either.

I'm sorry, sonny. You...

Well, you know
I'm proud of you.

And you know
I love you.

Yeah, I know that, Dad.

I just wish you'd worn a tie,
that's all.

I'm sorry, Jimmy, we ain't
driving this pizza wagon

out there where
Aaron's gonna see it.

Rocky, we're already
15 minutes late.

We don't have time to rent a
sedan and we don't have the money.

How do you do? I'm supposed
to meet Aaron Ironwood.

His private jet
is tied down 16.

I'm Jim Rockford and this is
the honorable Joseph Rockford

of the Bakersfield
truck-driving Rockfords.

How would you like
a rap in the mouth?

What did I tell you, huh?

Hello, Aaron.

Give me a hug, brother,
old boy. Hello.

Oh, lookie here. How you doing?
I love you, you know, I love you.

Boy, you've been
taking care of yourself, huh?

I can see that right off.

Oh, you've been doing
all right yourself, Aaron.

Oh, I know. I know...
You know what?

We got us a good old
fashioned family get-together.

I got so much
to find out about.

You can't tell anybody what's happening
on the back of a Christmas card.

No matter how small
you write!

How's that little Chet?

Oh, he's grown, Jim.
You wouldn't believe it.

He's 14 years old and
riding in New Mexico rodeos.

Took a second prize in
calf roping in 18 and under.

He's gonna put his fat old pa
to shame, I'll tell you that.

Hell, I got nothing more
to say, except

I waited too long to come
visiting. Too long and I'm...

I'm ashamed of myself.

Oh, you got nothing
to be ashamed of, Aaron.

All right.
Let's get on out of here.

You got a car?

Yeah.
No.

Huh?

Well, lookie here. Are you
in the pizza business, Jimmy?

It's a long story, Aaron.
Come on.

Oh, I'll ride with you and my
people can follow along in my car.

I'm free to open
a School of Success.

Rocky, you get in the back.

Ain't this something.

Pizza Dan.

Come on in.
Come on.

We got the plans all
drawed up for a beach house.

We're gonna start construction
in a couple of weeks.

Until then, Jimmy, he's just
temporarily living here, you know.

Rocky.

I live here permanently
and I like it fine here.

And I'm not in the
pizza business. Sit down.

I kind of figured that, Jimmy.

See, I been keeping
some track.

Last I heard, you was in the
private investigating business.

Well, I think that's a
fine thing. Real fine.

Why didn't you say so?

'Cause it ain't my way, stepping
on other people's dreams.

I feel right at home here.

It's good to be home,
too, partner.

It's good to have you, Aaron.
We missed you.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give
you America's success story,

Aaron Ironwood.

Thank you all.

My, that's nice.
Thank you.

That's wonderful. That's
wonderful. Thank you very much.

Please be seated.

Thank you very much.
Can you see me back there?

No!

Well, I want you folks
to take a good look at me.

See, I don't look
like no superman.

I ain't got no more than
an eighth grade education.

But I came to Los Angeles in
my own private jet airplane.

And that's from
believing in myself.

And most of you people here are looking
for success, but you haven't found it.

Hell, the hardest part of
climbing the ladder of success

is getting through the crowd
at the bottom.

Dare to make money!
Dare to be first!

And dare to win.
That's my slogan.

And that's what
this school is all about.

I'm gonna teach you people
through my very own course.

I'm gonna teach you
how to make $1 million.

And that ain't
pie in the sky.

And It ain't
"maybe you'll make it."

'Cause if you follow just exactly
what the school manual tells you,

you're just flat
gonna end up rich

and there's no
two ways about it.

"Dare to win," I said!

Dare to make money!
Spit in their eye!

Dare to turn
your life around!

Make $1 million
by the end of the year.

What's it gonna cost?

Only $5,000.

Stop. Get it down.
Get it down. Come on.

You still... You still got
one of the best right arms

in the business.

Yeah, I guess
some things never change.

And a good thing, too.

Hey, you remember that
little place we used to go to?

Over behind Sutter's
farm on that little creek?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. The place
where you lost your shoes

the first week
you lived with us.

About a week ago
I was back there.

I own it now.

Kind of bought it
out of sentiment.

You know something, Jimmy?
Our old fort's still there.

It's busted down some,
but it's there.

And so I started building
it back the way we had it.

There I was, this dumb old
country boy in a neon suit,

pants legs rolled up,

stacking up wood
like a kid.

I must have worked at it
all afternoon.

And then along about 5:00
I realized I was crying.

Crying for all the things
I haven't done

and for the time
I haven't got left.

And I was crying, Jimmy, because
things ain't gonna last for me.

I know that.
Come on, Aaron.

Anybody who can sell a
Dare-to-Win kit for $5,000

isn't likely to tap out.

I believe everything
I told those people.

People are the greatest single
resource this country's got,

but you gotta get them moving. It
wasn't until I said, "Why can't I do it?"

Till I dared to be great,
that I became great.

The human soul
is a marvelous thing.

It's resourceful.

But now this old country soul
has deep, deep problems.

And that's why
I was crying.

And that's why
I came to see you.

What is it, Aaron? Why me?

I'm in trouble.

And sitting there
in that old fort of ours,

I knew there was only one person
that I could completely trust.

Well, Aaron. I guess you
know there's nothing much

I could refuse you.

Well, we're brothers.

I mean, if either one of us had a brother,

I guess, that's what
it would feel like.

Yeah. I guess.

Excuse me.

Well, okay, Aaron,

let's hear about it.

It shames me, Jim.

It's hard even telling you.

It's like it's against everything
I've been preaching to folks,

it's against my philosophy.

Aaron, I gotta tell you
about your philosophy.

There's not too much about it that doesn't
sound like a medicine show sales pitch.

You were always long on bull,
a little short on cash as a kid.

It just never bothered me on
you like it did on some others.

About six months ago, I was traveling
around talking to my sales managers

up in the Northwest.

A man ought to take his wife
with him, somebody to comfort him.

I got lonely.
What, a girl?

A prostitute.

I threw up all the next day.

I don't know if it was
from the booze

or maybe it was
from the damage to my soul.

But they got pictures.

They said they want to buy my
whole company for $20 million.

That's a little cheap,
isn't it? It's a fire sale.

The rolling stock alone
is worth $20 million.

That plane I came in on
is worth $2 million.

But if I don't sell to them they're
gonna send the pictures to Sue Ann.

I can't let that happen.

It ain't that
I don't deserve it, I do.

Well, the harm it would do
to her and Chet.

They just wouldn't
ever get over it.

Anyways, I don't want
to lose my company

and I don't wanna lose being
able to give self-respect

to thousands of people.

And that's where
you come in.

What do you want me
to do about it?

I'm gonna give you
my company.

Whole shebang.
Worth $200 million.

There's no other person in the
world I'd trust with my net worth.

Sounds a little flaky,
Aaron.

What if they go ahead and
send the pictures anyway?

Well, then I'm through and I'm
just gonna plain charge them

with blackmail
and extortion.

But I don't think
they're gonna risk it

if they got
nothing to gain.

Leastways,
that's what I'm gambling.

King for a day, huh?

That's about the size of it.

What do you say?

I gotta think
a little about it, Aaron.

Fair enough.

And this is the main
stock transfer contract.

It gives Jimmy full ownership
of Dare to Win Incorporated,

plus controlling interest
in both Class A and Class B

preferred stocks of Ironwood
Incorporated, which is a holding company

for the outfits listed here
on the next page.

You got yourself some
good looking lawyer, boy.

She's also
pretty good at it.

We'd need a list
of contingent liabilities.

I don't want Jim
signing up for a lawsuit.

I've indemnified him
against any financial loss.

Oh, okay, that's fine.

Well, legally you're not
in any trouble, Jim,

but anytime you get involved in something
this tricky there are always risks.

All that stuff is clean?
Yeah. It looks fine.

Aaron, these guys
you're dealing with,

who are they? You've been
a little vague about it.

They're a bunch of old boys I
knew from an oil field venture

a while back.

We all got stung pretty good and
since I put the deal together,

they been looking
for a way to ream me.

But I never figured they'd go
to this much trouble.

Excuse me. I've gotta get
inside for a 10:00 hearing.

Nice to have met you,
Mr. Ironwood. Likewise.

What are you limping for,
Jim? I fell off my skateboard.

You think these things
are all right to sign?

If you trust him
and he's an old friend,

there's nothing legally wrong
with what he's proposing.

Thanks, Beth.

I'll send you a bill.

Now, that you're worth
$200 million,

maybe you'll pay it
before Christmas.

Let's get over to the hotel. I've
gotta meet them guys. Now wait a minute.

I haven't signed these yet.

Well you gotta sign it, Jimmy.
Please. All right, Aaron.

I'm going to,
but on one condition.

What's that? If you haven't
been straight with me,

I mean 100% straight, I'm gonna sell
out to these little old oil boys.

Just like that.

Okay, that's fair enough.

When have I not
been straight with you?

I've always been straight with
you. I think the first time

I remember is when we
were in the fourth grade.

You stole my catcher's mitt
and sold it to Bobby Krug.

Yeah, but I gave you
half the money.

That's not the point, Aaron.

Jimmy, we had to get you
out from behind home plate,

or you'd have cost us
every game.

Now, you was better off
in center field.

Give me the pen.

You really was.

Why you limping?

Oh, I went dancing
the other night.

I got a little carried away.
Started to dip and I slipped.

Dip?
Dipped.

Well, here goes, partner,
so hang tight.

Mr. Rockford.
Mr. Ironwood.

Everybody's here.

Is this one of your
little old oil boys?

Please, come in.

Aaron.

And this must be your silent
partner, the one who won't sell.

Hi, Vito.

The last time we saw each other,
we were both doing 20 to life.

Looks like
we both got lucky, huh?

You two know each other?
That's great.

Aaron, I'd like to talk
to you for a moment. Alone.

Later, Jimmy. I've tried
several times to get Jim

to accept your terms,
Mr. Genosa.

I've presented your offer,
but he says he won't sell.

You said you were gonna
bring some documentation

of Mr. Rockford's ownership
of the company.

Oh, yes.
I have it right here.

Dave.

If Mr. Rockford has owned this stock
for a week, it would surprise me.

But he owns it now and
that kind of changes things,

don't it, Mr. Genosa?

I'm not sure it does.

How about it, Dave?
Is that stuff clean?

Yeah, Mr. Genosa.
Rockford owns the stock.

And you don't want to sell
the company, is that right?

Oh, I think we can solve
all this pretty easily.

Could I talk to you
for a moment? Outside?

Want a drink?
No, thank you.

Now, just how can you
settle this, Mr. Rockford?

Well, the way I see
the problem is,

you want to buy Ironwood
Incorporated for $20 million,

only I have the stock.

Now, I think the best way
to settle this is

I sign the stock over to you and
you give me a check for $22 million.

Mr. Ironwood
said you wouldn't sell.

Well, Mr. Ironwood is inside
and I say the company

is on the block.
Do you want it or not?

The agreed price
is $20 million.

I'm afraid you didn't hear
me. I said $22 million.

The price is $20 million.

And a fair price it is.

Come on out here,
will you, Dave?

You have everything?

A stock transfer, a contract and
a cashier's check for $20 million.

I want you to indemnify me against any
legal indentures and all closing sales costs.

That's agreeable.
You own it.

I still
can't believe it.

You wasn't supposed to sell
it. That's right, I sold it.

You don't say no to those
guys, they'll kill you.

You ever try?
Did you?

That's what
you were supposed to do.

Look, I don't understand what's
going on. But I'm getting out.

You don't understand? That's
right. I don't understand.

Now, I don't know
what you're trying to pull,

but you run me up some story
about a bunch of old oil buddies,

you give me the company and
then throw me at the Mafia.

You must've known
I was gonna sell it.

I didn't figure you... Only
a dummy wouldn't sell to them.

I didn't figure you'd
turn chicken. Why not?

You did.

Give me my check.
Hmm?

I want my check.
What check?

If you don't give me that check,
I'm gonna cause you a heap of pain.

I'll tell you what I'll do,

I'll make you the same deal
you made me

on my catcher's mitt.
I'll split it with you.

You're out of it now.
I want my $20 million.

I get the strange feeling
that I'm not out of it, Aaron.

Now, this whole thing
doesn't add up.

You've got something going
on and I'm gonna deposit

the check until I have time
to figure out

just exactly
what's going on.

Either you give me
that check or I'm...

Or what are you gonna do?
Tell Rocky?

I'll take it from you.

Okay, hotshot,
you give it a try.

Aaron.

Aaron, get out of my way.

Get away! Get away!

Where did he go?

Gosh, I don't know.
He could have gone anywhere.

You know,
I called Sue Ann.

I got to thinking about

Aaron's whole story

about those pictures and protecting
their marriage and everything.

You wanna hear the kicker?
What?

They've been divorced
for two years.

Well, I guess old Aaron forgot
to write that on a Christmas card.

I never would have gone for this
whole thing for anybody else.

I don't know, I guess you and I have
always had a soft spot for Aaron's

line of bull.

You remember when he
sold your catcher's mitt?

Yeah.

Well, you can't keep the
money. I know that, Rocky.

You know, he told them
that I was his silent partner

long before
he ever asked me.

How do you know that?

Because two torpedoes tried to
pick me up before he ever got here.

The only thing that makes
any sense at all is that

he actually wanted me
to sell his company.

Yeah. But why?
I don't know.

Yeah. But why wouldn't
he just sell it himself?

I don't know.

Well, it looks to me
like you and old Aaron

got a lot
of straightening out to do.

Yeah.

Aaron, it's me.

Yeah?

I've got your check.

Yeah? Where are you?

Down in the lobby, but I'll
be waiting for you in the alley

behind this joint.
We got some talking to do.

That's just fine.
I'll be right down.

I don't suppose you really
want to do this country style?

I don't want to do it at all. I
just want to know what's going on.

You owe me that much.
I told you.

I called Sue Ann.

All right. I stretched
the truth a little bit.

You ought to
expect that from me.

Now listen, old buddy. You said you
had my check. How about forking it over?

Not until you tell me
what's going on.

I don't know any more.

Now, are you gonna give me my money,
or am I gonna have to take it from you?

Aaron, I don't want
to fight you.

I never took you
when we was kids,

but I've grown up
a little bit since then.

Come on.

Aaron, now, I don't want you to
do something you're gonna regret.

Just...

Oh, come on, Aaron.

Aaron! Didn't used to be so easy to hit.

Now, Aaron, stop that.
That hurt.

Give me my check.

Aaron!

Give me my check.

What's the matter with you,
Aaron? You want some more?

You ain't gonna give
nobody no more. Look at you.

You can't even stand up
without a prop.

I trusted you, Aaron.

What do you want from me?

Just a few answers,
that's all.

Well, you got them all.

Stop it!

Here.

What happened to us,
Aaron?

You Jim Rockford?

That depends on who you are.

Cute, that's nice. We're used to
dealing with barf bags like you.

Cop, huh?
Federal. Out.

Do you mind
if I see your tin?

I'm a stickler for detail.

I ain't in no mood. Out.

Lock it.

I got him. Come on down and
get this load of garbage.

Up against it and spread
it. You're used to it.

In.

In, out.

You ever think of
getting a job as an usher?

You owned it
yesterday, right?

That's right. But I sold it.

To Vito Genosa,
is that the story?

Yeah.

Where's Aaron Ironwood?

You're supposed to be Flash
Gordon. Don't you know?

I'm getting tired
of all this flip chatter.

You're beginning to wear
on me a little yourself.

Where is he?
We're looking for him.

We want Ironwood because he's
selling multiple franchises

in his company.

It's a pyramid,
that constitutes fraud,

embezzlement and the illegal
sale of unregistered securities.

You're gonna have to
break that down for me.

Watch my lips, fraud.

I'm telling you that
Aaron Ironwood's a fraud.

He's selling franchises
like a chain letter.

Now we're gonna close him
up and stick him in jail.

Yeah.

You should look worried.

That puts you pretty high
on Genosa's list.

You sold him a bucket
of sand for $20 million.

He ain't gonna like that.

Yeah. It's all beginning
to make a little sense.

Did Aaron know that you
were about ready to nail him?

He might have.

Depends on how good
a spy setup he's got.

Genosa was already
interested in buying,

so Aaron got me
to sell it to him

knowing full well
you were 50 feet behind him

with a fistful
of court orders.

Nobody said you were
supposed to be a genius.

Yeah. I guess not.

So, where is he?

At his hotel.

You forgot
to look there, huh?

He ain't at his hotel,
Rockford.

I left him there
40 minutes ago.

We've been staked out on that
hotel since 12:30 this morning.

Look, Pat.
Agent Patrick.

All right, Agent Patrick.

Don't hang it on me

because your stakeout was
down in the hotel gift shop

looking through
the magazines.

Get me Agent Schiller on the
line. I want to talk to him.

Hey, can I go?

How 'bout it, fellas? The inside
of my mouth is like Shredded Wheat.

You haven't got
anything on me.

Okay, Rockford.
But stay handy.

2356 Pacific Coast Highway,
please.

Okay. You betcha.

Hey, mister.
We're being tailed.

Sure hope so.

$10, I'll lose him for you.

I'm the one that's
supposed to suggest that.

No you're supposed to say, "Follow
that cab," or "Lose the tail."

I'm supposed to say,
I'll lose him for $10.

Yeah, I guess
you're right.

Forget it.
I like him back there.

Suit yourself.

That'll be $2.50, mister.

Keep the change.
Thanks.

Have a nice night, fellas,

and stay awake.

Up.
Hmm?

Up.

What can I do for you?

Get your butt
out of bed for starters.

Oh. Yeah. Well,

I think I can manage that.

Well, I'm for some breakfast.
Maybe a little scrambled eggs.

Something light.
How about you?

No, you ain't got time
for breakfast. Let's go.

Oh. Look, Nino,
isn't it?

Look.

Maybe we could talk
about this for a while, huh?

What do you want? This may
not be any problem at all.

Let's go.

Oh. Yeah.
Okay, okay.

I'm sorry, Jimmy. I
didn't plan on this part.

Well, I hope nobody forgot
the peanut butter sandwiches.

You guys think
you're pretty cute.

I get up this morning and I
find out you sold me a company

that's up to its neck
in legal trouble.

Everything's frozen.
All the assets.

So I wanna know what you got
in mind to make this right.

If you remember correctly,

you're the one that
wanted to buy the company.

We tried
not to sell it to you.

Well, you didn't try
hard enough.

Look, I told you I'll
give you your money back.

You can't.
I checked with the bank.

All your assets
are frozen.

Well, we'll just
unfreeze it then.

Listen, Mr. Genosa.
Vito.

Look, this here ain't such a
bad problem. We can fix it up.

Hell's bells, a little
business misunderstanding.

This ain't nothing to get
worked up about. Right, Jimmy?

Of course.
See? Nothing to it.

Okay.

Then that's all
I wanted to know.

Let's get out of here.

What's wrong with this thing?
Let's get out of here.

It's new, Mr. Genosa. There's
something wrong with the carburetor.

Try pumping it.

You shut up.

You think maybe these guys
are gonna plow us under?

Yeah, that's the way
I got it figured.

Aaron,

you remember
when we were in school,

that kid
that you wrecked his car?

Yeah, I remember.

Yeah, that was something.

Remember how mad he got?
Yeah.

Shut up.

Jam it.

I said shut up.

Something never
occurred to you, I guess.

You can only kill
somebody once.

If you plan
to shut me up,

you'd better do it
right here and now.

Well, I'm glad
we got rid of him.

Right fellas? Go ahead.
Be funny. Pretty soon,

you're gonna be looking
at your guts in the dirt.

Then I'm gonna
be laughing.

Something I forgot
to tell you about, Aaron.

All these guys
have a tendency

to take themselves
too seriously.

Yeah. I can see that.

Yeah,
I remember that kid.

You know, boy,
when I had his car delivered,

I thought he was gonna go nuts. Yeah.

And I thought he was gonna
tear you limb from limb.

You remember he went back
and got his two big brothers?

Yeah. And they was gonna
take us apart at the knees.

Yeah. Yeah, to think I saved you from that

just to be gunned down by a
couple of third grade dropouts.

Uh, uh, uh. I wouldn't do
that without asking Mr. Vito.

See, he might not like you
shooting Jimmy in his car.

He might not
like that at all.

Rockford,
I'm gonna take it real slow.

Maybe, it's gonna take me two or three
clips to hit you just where I want.

See what I mean, Aaron?

Yeah. They ain't got
no sense of humor at all.

Yeah.

Okay, over there.

Mr. Genosa, maybe you
better stay back here, huh?

No, I want to watch this.

Get up, damn you!

He's having a seizure.
He can't.

Well, I'm gonna waste you
right here.

Aaron!

Find the gun.
I can't find it.

Come on.
Hey!

No! You go watch the car.

Why didn't you
find the gun?

Well, I was a little bit busy at the time.

Well, we need it.
Why didn't you find it?

You want me to go back
and get it?

Come on, let's see if
we can get to the car.

Where are they?
I lost them.

Now, I'll take him,
you drive.

You think you can do it
by yourself this time?

Yeah.
I think I can handle it.

Is that better?
Much.

Come on, come on.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go!

Freeze!
This is the police.

Well, where were you?

I thought you were
gonna stay closer.

We do it our own way.

I decided to pull back
and see what happened.

Well, if you'd have stayed a little
closer, none of this would've happened.

I think it worked out good.
Well, we're sure glad to see you.

What you doing?

Well, you're
under arrest, honey.

Fraud,

selling unregistered
securities, abusing the mail,

and about a dozen
minor felonies.

Hey, look, Pat. Agent
Patrick, I can testify...

Shut up, Rockford! Or I'll
get something on you too.

Like what?

Like assault and battery.

Look at him. Poor fella.

You wouldn't dare.

This ain't gonna be so bad.

Aaron, when you get
up there,

ask for C Block.

They usually put
the fish in D Block,

but, you know, if you ask,
maybe they'll make an exception.

Fish?

Yeah,
that's the new prisoners.

Also known as greenies.

C Block, huh?

What's so great
about C Block?

Well, they got better
facilities and closed showers

and the rec room is next
to the outside wall.

With binoculars you can see the
girls from the factory from there.

Boy, that sounds
like a blast.

Yeah, after five or six months,
it gets to be a pretty big thrill.

You know, there's probably
a lot of things wrong

with the prison system.

Sounds to me like they
could use some reforming.

I always sort of
felt that way.

You know, the best way to effect
reform has gotta be from the inside.

I suppose. Yeah.

I could organize
the prisoners,

get them to think positively
about this prison reform,

get the old
philosophy cooking.

Aaron, if I was you,
I wouldn't get too...

No, I mean, really, Jim.
Now you think about it.

I could write me a whole
new chapter in penology.

Okay, Rockford.
You're out.

Pick up your stuff
at front desk.

Hi, Rocky.

I guess you're disappointed
in me. I mean you must be

really upset with me
going to jail and all.

That ain't why I'm disappointed
in you, Aaron. And you know it.

Well, Rocky, I don't like to
dwell on negative thoughts.

Well, it's just hard for
me to admit I ain't perfect.

You ain't, you know.

Yeah, but I will be. All I
gotta do is keep working on it.

Well, I guess you are
one of a kind, Aaron.

I ain't gonna hold that
against you.

What about Vito Genosa
and his head crushers?

Well, it looks like they
got 'em for attempted murder.

They got them all
locked up down the hall.

Okay, Aaron.

I'm sorry I done you
like that, Jim.

I guess we got away
pretty clean, considering.

Yeah.
Yeah, considering.

Oh, and, Aaron,

about that prison reform.

I wouldn't get too
carried away with that.

Just take a tip from me, huh?
When you're doing time,

keep your nose clean.
Don't talk to people.

Kind of live within yourself. I
mean, you start stirring the pot,

they'll land on you.

No, Jim,
I gotta give it a go.

It could be
a great opportunity.

It's like a whole
new career, kind of.

I'm gonna call it

"Dare to be Free."
