1
00:00:01,056 --> 00:00:04,493
I got this giant hatred for private detectives. It's a cop disease.

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:07,189
You guys sweep in here like big turtle-necked vultures.

3
00:00:07,263 --> 00:00:09,289
You stomp around in my garden, then you split.

4
00:00:09,365 --> 00:00:12,096
Look, hotshot, I've been having a terrible day.

5
00:00:12,167 --> 00:00:14,261
I got two loose teeth that have been killing me.

6
00:00:14,336 --> 00:00:15,702
I'll subpoena you for the trial.

7
00:00:15,771 --> 00:00:18,673
You haven't lived till you've tried to serve me with a subpoena.

8
00:00:19,308 --> 00:00:21,539
You got a soft spot I could hit blindfolded.

9
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:23,977
Your ethics are lousy.

10
00:00:24,046 --> 00:00:26,379
What kind of ethics must a private detective have?

11
00:00:26,448 --> 00:00:28,144
You can't be that stupid.

12
00:00:28,217 --> 00:00:31,278
Sure, I can. I've been doing stupid things all day.

13
00:00:36,125 --> 00:00:38,203
<i>This is Jim Rockford.</i>

14
00:00:38,227 --> 00:00:39,957
<i>At the tone, leave your name and message.</i>

15
00:00:40,029 --> 00:00:41,189
<i>I'll get back to you.</i>

16
00:00:41,230 --> 00:00:42,960
<i>You really want Shim on the seventh?</i>

17
00:00:43,032 --> 00:00:46,469
<i>Come on, that nag couldn't go a mile in the back of a pickup truck. Call me.</i>

18
00:02:04,024 --> 00:02:06,619
<i>Announcing the departure of TransGlobal Aloha...</i>

19
00:02:06,694 --> 00:02:08,094
<i>Flight 402...</i>

20
00:02:08,162 --> 00:02:13,032
<i>to Honolulu, Tokyo, and Hong Kong. Now departing at Gate 32A.</i>

21
00:02:18,238 --> 00:02:21,675
<i>Maintenance porter to TransGlobal service counter, please.</i>

22
00:02:26,046 --> 00:02:28,208
<i>Arriving passengers from Newark...</i>

23
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:31,548
<i>please report to TransGlobal's passenger service counter.</i>

24
00:02:47,601 --> 00:02:50,264
Mr. Jameson, please. This is Jim Rockford.

25
00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:54,405
Yes, sir. I'm back.

26
00:02:55,843 --> 00:02:59,211
It's hard to say. I really don't know.

27
00:02:59,279 --> 00:03:01,612
<i>Something happened back there...</i>

28
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:04,777
a little weird, but I'll fill you in.

29
00:03:05,652 --> 00:03:08,884
No, sir. I'd really like to go take a shower...

30
00:03:08,956 --> 00:03:12,688
and get changed. I'll drive up to your place sometime this evening.

31
00:03:14,461 --> 00:03:16,089
Yes, sir, fine. Thank you.

32
00:03:17,998 --> 00:03:21,025
<i>TransGlobal Skycap to baggage area.</i>

33
00:08:19,629 --> 00:08:21,996
<i>Motor vehicles, may I help you?</i>

34
00:08:22,232 --> 00:08:23,757
Registration, please.

35
00:08:23,833 --> 00:08:25,768
<i>One moment, sir, I'll connect you.</i>

36
00:08:29,572 --> 00:08:32,838
Registration, may I help you? Miss Brown speaking.

37
00:08:33,509 --> 00:08:37,537
I sure hope so, honey. My friend Eddie said maybe you could help.

38
00:08:37,614 --> 00:08:39,879
But if you can't, I don't know what I'm going to do.

39
00:08:39,949 --> 00:08:43,408
Unless I see it again, which I probably won't. I mean there must be...

40
00:08:43,486 --> 00:08:46,456
<i>eight million gray Chevys in the city of Los Angeles.</i>

41
00:08:46,522 --> 00:08:48,684
Maybe you could start at the beginning, sir.

42
00:08:49,692 --> 00:08:51,558
I'm awful sorry, but I'm real excited.

43
00:08:51,628 --> 00:08:53,620
You see, I've been saving up for two years...

44
00:08:53,696 --> 00:08:55,289
to buy this one certain kind of car.

45
00:08:55,365 --> 00:08:57,960
<i>And I was driving down Melrose Blvd., and I seen it.</i>

46
00:08:59,035 --> 00:09:00,435
<i>It was just beautiful.</i>

47
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:03,931
It's a '67 gray Chevy coupe.

48
00:09:04,007 --> 00:09:06,772
It's got a custom vinyl top, mag wheels. Just the whole thing.

49
00:09:06,843 --> 00:09:08,277
Just the way I wanted it.

50
00:09:08,344 --> 00:09:12,145
Anyway, this guy had a "for sale" sign in the back window...

51
00:09:12,215 --> 00:09:14,411
and it had a telephone number on it.

52
00:09:14,484 --> 00:09:18,353
I tried to catch up with him, but I missed the light. I almost got a ticket.

53
00:09:18,421 --> 00:09:20,981
<i>And Eddie, my friend, he was with me in the car.</i>

54
00:09:22,025 --> 00:09:24,051
He got the license number, and he told me...

55
00:09:24,127 --> 00:09:26,528
maybe you could tell me who owned it.

56
00:09:26,596 --> 00:09:29,498
Well, I'm not sure. We're not supposed to do that.

57
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,859
I see.

58
00:09:31,934 --> 00:09:34,062
You see, Eddie, I told you she can't do that.

59
00:09:34,137 --> 00:09:36,072
That's against the rules or something.

60
00:09:36,706 --> 00:09:38,902
Look, maybe I could...

61
00:09:39,709 --> 00:09:42,474
sneak a peek. What was the license number on that?

62
00:09:44,414 --> 00:09:45,609
Wait a minute.

63
00:09:47,183 --> 00:09:49,277
It's 2-3-8...

64
00:09:49,352 --> 00:09:51,048
<i>W-X-C.</i>

65
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,021
<i>Like in Charlie.</i> One moment.

66
00:10:10,314 --> 00:10:13,148
That's registered to a Martin Fishback...

67
00:10:13,551 --> 00:10:16,612
<i>237 Wilson Dr., Los Angeles.</i>

68
00:10:17,455 --> 00:10:20,755
237. Honey, thank you. I really appreciate that.

69
00:10:20,825 --> 00:10:23,989
Maybe I could return the favor sometime. Thank you.

70
00:11:31,731 --> 00:11:34,360
Would I be too nosy to ask what you guys want?

71
00:11:34,834 --> 00:11:36,564
Shut up and get in.

72
00:11:51,024 --> 00:11:53,721
I suppose you're the guys who went through my place.

73
00:11:53,793 --> 00:11:56,126
I thought I told you to shut up.

74
00:11:57,030 --> 00:11:59,659
Tell me what you want. I'll probably give it to you.

75
00:11:59,732 --> 00:12:02,065
I want you to shut up, Rockford.

76
00:12:02,302 --> 00:12:04,999
Understand? Shut up.

77
00:12:05,872 --> 00:12:08,171
Right. You want it, you got it.

78
00:13:05,311 --> 00:13:07,940
All right, what do I do now?

79
00:13:11,684 --> 00:13:14,085
You can take those off, Rockford.

80
00:13:21,027 --> 00:13:22,928
I don't know what's going on...

81
00:13:22,995 --> 00:13:24,793
but believe me, I don't want any trouble.

82
00:13:24,864 --> 00:13:26,833
You already got trouble.

83
00:13:26,999 --> 00:13:31,903
The only question is whether you're gonna wake up tomorrow breathing air or dirt.

84
00:13:32,208 --> 00:13:35,144
Come on. There's no need to be melodramatic.

85
00:13:39,783 --> 00:13:42,981
We've been watching you, Rockford, and we don't like what you're up to.

86
00:13:43,053 --> 00:13:45,784
So far, I'm not too hot about it, either.

87
00:13:46,523 --> 00:13:48,321
Who are you working for?

88
00:13:48,825 --> 00:13:49,918
Now wait a minute.

89
00:13:49,993 --> 00:13:52,189
We don't have much time. Who is your client?

90
00:13:52,963 --> 00:13:54,556
That's a little tough.

91
00:13:54,998 --> 00:13:56,990
Who are you working for?

92
00:13:57,567 --> 00:14:00,059
Let me finish my sentence this time, all right?

93
00:14:00,136 --> 00:14:01,934
I'd like to tell you. I really would.

94
00:14:02,005 --> 00:14:03,940
But it's professional ethics, sort of...

95
00:14:04,007 --> 00:14:06,533
not to reveal who your client is.

96
00:14:06,776 --> 00:14:09,678
Now if it's all right with you guys, I'd like to call my client...

97
00:14:09,746 --> 00:14:13,012
from a pay phone and ask him if it's all right if I give you his name.

98
00:14:13,083 --> 00:14:15,177
If he says it's okay, I give it to you.

99
00:14:16,219 --> 00:14:19,883
Just one call, that's all. But I really should check first.

100
00:14:23,193 --> 00:14:24,684
How about it?

101
00:14:39,843 --> 00:14:41,209
You lose.

102
00:14:41,277 --> 00:14:42,939
Wait a minute. Where are you going?

103
00:14:43,013 --> 00:14:46,415
Is it worth it, Mr. Rockford? Is it really that important to you?

104
00:14:46,483 --> 00:14:48,281
Think about it. I'd be interested to know.

105
00:14:48,351 --> 00:14:50,911
Think about what? I don't even know what you guys are all about.

106
00:14:50,987 --> 00:14:52,285
What's going on?

107
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:55,654
I thought you understood.

108
00:14:56,192 --> 00:14:59,128
We're making the arrangements. It'll be about five minutes.

109
00:14:59,462 --> 00:15:02,830
You see, Mr. Rockford, you're dead.

110
00:15:49,512 --> 00:15:51,538
<i>Is it worth it, Mr. Rockford?</i>

111
00:15:51,614 --> 00:15:53,981
<i>Is it really that important to you?</i>

112
00:15:54,284 --> 00:15:56,810
<i>Think about it. I'd be interested to know.</i>

113
00:16:09,532 --> 00:16:11,194
I am ready for a drink.

114
00:16:12,769 --> 00:16:14,237
I want another drink.

115
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,221
Boy, it's really something, isn't it? Yeah, it sure is.

116
00:16:31,835 --> 00:16:33,463
There he is.

117
00:16:33,537 --> 00:16:35,506
That good-looking one in the blazer.

118
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:37,871
So that's Mark?

119
00:16:38,308 --> 00:16:40,072
Come on, I'll introduce you.

120
00:16:40,277 --> 00:16:42,712
Now don't say too much.

121
00:16:42,780 --> 00:16:45,648
Be reserved and offhand.

122
00:16:45,716 --> 00:16:48,379
You mean, I can't slap him on the back and call him buddy?

123
00:16:48,452 --> 00:16:49,476
Hardly.

124
00:16:49,553 --> 00:16:53,217
Kathy! Loren. How are you?

125
00:16:53,290 --> 00:16:55,850
Loren Tarr, Jim Rockford. Hi, Jim.

126
00:16:55,926 --> 00:16:57,758
I haven't seen you around here before.

127
00:16:57,828 --> 00:16:59,353
I haven't been here before.

128
00:16:59,429 --> 00:17:00,920
Jim's an old friend of mine.

129
00:17:00,998 --> 00:17:04,298
No kidding? That's great. What do you do, Jim?

130
00:17:04,835 --> 00:17:07,430
He's a corporate insurance profile analyst.

131
00:17:07,905 --> 00:17:10,340
But my brother sells used cars in Montana.

132
00:17:12,576 --> 00:17:13,576
Yeah.

133
00:17:13,644 --> 00:17:16,580
Say, Kathy, how about some backgammon? Sue and Sybil have a table.

134
00:17:16,647 --> 00:17:18,707
We want a chance to get some of our money back.

135
00:17:18,782 --> 00:17:20,910
Now come on, you took us pretty good last time.

136
00:17:21,118 --> 00:17:22,950
Go ahead, honey. I'll just browse around.

137
00:17:23,020 --> 00:17:26,354
Maybe get something to eat, spill something on my shirt.

138
00:17:27,024 --> 00:17:28,720
Jim's such a kidder.

139
00:17:29,026 --> 00:17:31,586
Go ahead, have fun. Nice to meet you, Loren.

140
00:17:43,674 --> 00:17:45,609
Scotch on the rocks, please.

141
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,281
Are you really a private detective?

142
00:17:58,355 --> 00:18:01,348
You must be mistaken. I'm a corporate profile analyst.

143
00:18:02,759 --> 00:18:04,591
What the devil is that?

144
00:18:06,096 --> 00:18:08,224
I rummage around little companies.

145
00:18:08,999 --> 00:18:11,662
Dredge up tax loopholes, that sort of thing.

146
00:18:14,338 --> 00:18:16,773
He said you're a private detective.

147
00:18:20,244 --> 00:18:22,770
Him? Yeah, him.

148
00:18:22,846 --> 00:18:26,010
I bet you don't even know what a corporate profile analyst does.

149
00:18:26,083 --> 00:18:28,643
Sure I do, sort of.

150
00:18:29,386 --> 00:18:31,912
It's true. You are a detective.

151
00:18:32,723 --> 00:18:35,522
I think that's marvelous. You do?

152
00:18:35,592 --> 00:18:38,460
Sure. You're the first private detective I ever met.

153
00:18:39,096 --> 00:18:40,894
Let's just keep it between ourselves.

154
00:18:40,964 --> 00:18:43,024
A thing like that gets out in a place like this...

155
00:18:43,100 --> 00:18:45,535
I start growing bouncers from both arms.

156
00:18:45,602 --> 00:18:48,037
It's a deal. I'm Susan Jameson.

157
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:51,108
Jim Rockford.

158
00:19:01,013 --> 00:19:03,346
If you worked in one of my companies...

159
00:19:03,415 --> 00:19:06,146
and kept me waiting the way you did this afternoon...

160
00:19:06,819 --> 00:19:09,618
I'd warn you once. If it happened again, I'd fire you.

161
00:19:09,688 --> 00:19:12,624
That's one of the advantages of my job, Mr. Jameson.

162
00:19:12,691 --> 00:19:14,887
I don't have to put up with remarks like that.

163
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,122
Pity we aren't the same age.

164
00:19:17,196 --> 00:19:19,062
I could take you out behind the woodshed...

165
00:19:19,131 --> 00:19:21,100
and we could bash it around for a while.

166
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:23,067
I don't go in for that kind of thing.

167
00:19:23,135 --> 00:19:24,228
Did you see Mark?

168
00:19:24,303 --> 00:19:25,635
Yeah. And?

169
00:19:25,704 --> 00:19:28,970
I think he spends too much time under the sun lamp.

170
00:19:29,041 --> 00:19:32,205
I could have told you that without paying you $200 a day.

171
00:19:32,277 --> 00:19:34,473
He's also had his nose fixed.

172
00:19:34,747 --> 00:19:36,477
Your daughter was out there.

173
00:19:36,749 --> 00:19:39,719
What do you expect? She's engaged to the man.

174
00:19:42,821 --> 00:19:44,312
You're still pulling to the right.

175
00:19:44,390 --> 00:19:46,450
You're gonna have to anchor that set screw.

176
00:19:46,525 --> 00:19:51,361
You know, we do seem to grate on each other a bit, don't we?

177
00:19:51,430 --> 00:19:52,921
I don't think that would happen...

178
00:19:52,998 --> 00:19:55,558
if I carried a briefcase and wore a tie.

179
00:19:55,634 --> 00:19:58,297
I think the problem is that you just don't have anything...

180
00:19:58,370 --> 00:20:01,204
that I want bad enough to go to all that trouble.

181
00:20:01,540 --> 00:20:03,634
What else did you find out?

182
00:20:04,576 --> 00:20:07,307
I ran a check on him through some of my own sources...

183
00:20:07,379 --> 00:20:09,575
and I didn't come up with any more than you did.

184
00:20:09,648 --> 00:20:11,082
He's so clean he squeaks.

185
00:20:12,117 --> 00:20:15,087
No police record. Good credit references.

186
00:20:15,287 --> 00:20:17,518
Honorable discharge from the Navy.

187
00:20:17,756 --> 00:20:21,955
Two special merit citations for action off the waters in North Korea.

188
00:20:22,428 --> 00:20:25,865
He put out a fire in a gun battery and saved two guys.

189
00:20:25,998 --> 00:20:28,524
Mark Chalmers is a real gold-plate special.

190
00:20:29,935 --> 00:20:32,495
Everything about the guy is phony.

191
00:20:32,571 --> 00:20:34,665
I've played handball with him.

192
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,204
That Ivy League accent of his is a phony, too.

193
00:20:38,410 --> 00:20:41,778
Get him down a couple of points and a New Jersey accent pops out.

194
00:20:41,847 --> 00:20:43,509
Real gutter Jersey.

195
00:20:43,582 --> 00:20:46,711
He's a sharpshooter of some kind, and we're gonna end up proving it.

196
00:20:46,785 --> 00:20:48,777
I want to talk to you about that, too.

197
00:20:48,854 --> 00:20:51,756
I think I'll drop out. I just don't like this sort of thing.

198
00:20:51,824 --> 00:20:53,383
What sort of thing?

199
00:20:54,460 --> 00:20:57,692
Helping frustrated old men break up their daughters' romances.

200
00:20:57,763 --> 00:21:01,131
It just makes me feel like I'm taking anything that comes along.

201
00:21:01,733 --> 00:21:02,996
I'll send you a bill.

202
00:21:03,068 --> 00:21:05,867
You're through when I say you're through.

203
00:21:06,205 --> 00:21:09,505
Would you mind putting that thing away? I'm afraid of guns.

204
00:21:09,575 --> 00:21:11,476
I've booked you on a flight to Newark.

205
00:21:11,543 --> 00:21:13,739
The plane leaves at 4:00 this afternoon.

206
00:21:13,812 --> 00:21:15,337
Maybe you didn't hear what I said.

207
00:21:15,414 --> 00:21:17,576
You'll do what I say...

208
00:21:18,250 --> 00:21:21,015
or I'll make a few calls to the local power structure.

209
00:21:21,086 --> 00:21:22,884
They're friends of mine. In 10 minutes...

210
00:21:22,955 --> 00:21:25,948
you'll have civil servants dropping out of trees on you.

211
00:21:26,892 --> 00:21:28,554
That trailer of yours...

212
00:21:28,627 --> 00:21:31,722
doesn't look like R1 zoning to me. Maybe get it moved.

213
00:21:32,631 --> 00:21:35,226
Have your income tax return bounced.

214
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:36,563
Maybe have the cops...

215
00:21:36,635 --> 00:21:39,036
review that investigator's license of yours.

216
00:21:39,104 --> 00:21:42,438
I shoot a mean game of dirty pool.

217
00:21:43,342 --> 00:21:44,469
Think about it.

218
00:21:44,543 --> 00:21:46,307
You really shouldn't threaten me.

219
00:21:46,845 --> 00:21:49,076
You got a soft spot I could hit blindfolded.

220
00:21:49,548 --> 00:21:50,982
What are you talking about?

221
00:21:51,150 --> 00:21:53,051
All I have to do is call your daughter...

222
00:21:53,118 --> 00:21:55,383
and tell her you're having Mark investigated.

223
00:21:55,454 --> 00:21:57,446
Your ethics are lousy.

224
00:21:57,789 --> 00:21:59,155
Yeah, I know.

225
00:21:59,424 --> 00:22:01,984
Why don't we just break and go to neutral corners?

226
00:22:02,060 --> 00:22:03,961
I'll send you a bill. You pay me my fee...

227
00:22:04,029 --> 00:22:06,555
and we'll stay out of each other's way. All right?

228
00:22:07,199 --> 00:22:08,599
Now wait a minute.

229
00:22:09,034 --> 00:22:10,593
Wait a minute.

230
00:22:11,737 --> 00:22:14,036
This isn't going to be easy for me.

231
00:22:14,106 --> 00:22:16,166
I'm not used to saying please...

232
00:22:17,776 --> 00:22:20,644
but I am going to say please.

233
00:22:21,813 --> 00:22:23,304
Please, Mr. Rockford.

234
00:22:23,849 --> 00:22:25,112
I know...

235
00:22:25,184 --> 00:22:29,121
I probably do seem like a frustrated old man to you. Maybe I am.

236
00:22:29,188 --> 00:22:31,589
But my only child...

237
00:22:31,657 --> 00:22:34,718
is about to marry that phony. Don't you see what it's doing to me?

238
00:22:34,793 --> 00:22:37,262
You can't let me down now. I need your help, Rockford.

239
00:22:37,329 --> 00:22:39,889
And you want me because we get along so good. Is that it?

240
00:22:39,965 --> 00:22:41,297
You won't take anything from me.

241
00:22:41,366 --> 00:22:43,460
You probably won't take anything from anybody else.

242
00:22:43,535 --> 00:22:45,731
I think you know what you're doing.

243
00:22:45,837 --> 00:22:47,499
Why do you want me to go to Newark?

244
00:22:47,573 --> 00:22:49,201
Because Mark...

245
00:22:50,209 --> 00:22:52,644
Here are some photographs of him, by the way.

246
00:22:53,245 --> 00:22:55,805
He once mentioned a certain street in Newark.

247
00:22:55,881 --> 00:22:59,511
It's a street that people who don't live in Newark always mispronounce.

248
00:22:59,585 --> 00:23:02,987
They call it "Tal-ma-dige," the way it's spelled.

249
00:23:03,555 --> 00:23:04,955
Mark pronounced it correctly...

250
00:23:05,023 --> 00:23:08,460
and when I asked him if he'd ever lived there, he got very uptight.

251
00:23:08,527 --> 00:23:10,792
And he said no. I think he's lying.

252
00:23:13,865 --> 00:23:14,992
What do you say?

253
00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:19,631
Coach?

254
00:23:38,715 --> 00:23:41,480
Rockford? Right, Jim Rockford.

255
00:23:43,687 --> 00:23:46,088
Jim, I'm going to give it to you straight...

256
00:23:46,390 --> 00:23:49,792
because I don't want we should have no problems about this later on.

257
00:23:50,294 --> 00:23:51,626
You see, my trouble is...

258
00:23:51,695 --> 00:23:53,340
I got this giant hatred for private

259
00:23:53,364 --> 00:23:55,462
detectives. Now you've probably heard of it.

260
00:23:55,532 --> 00:23:56,693
It's a cop disease.

261
00:23:56,767 --> 00:23:59,293
You guys sweep in here like big turtle-necked vultures.

262
00:23:59,369 --> 00:24:01,895
You stomp around in my garden, and then you split.

263
00:24:01,972 --> 00:24:04,407
Leaving me stuck with a mess.

264
00:24:04,474 --> 00:24:07,034
So here you go, sport. Now you want my advice...

265
00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:10,740
you pick up your goodies, and you hop a freight out of town.

266
00:24:11,448 --> 00:24:13,440
I'm just trying to get along, Lieutenant.

267
00:24:13,517 --> 00:24:17,477
I'm checking in like I'm supposed to. If I turn up anything, I'll give it to you.

268
00:24:17,554 --> 00:24:19,182
I'd just like a little help, that's all.

269
00:24:19,256 --> 00:24:20,849
I don't want to get along, Rockford.

270
00:24:20,924 --> 00:24:23,758
I don't want to help you. I don't want to hear nothing about you.

271
00:24:23,827 --> 00:24:28,128
I only have one interest in you, and that's in getting you out of this town.

272
00:24:29,566 --> 00:24:31,228
Did you check with L.A.? Yeah.

273
00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:35,568
The cops there said you were a flake.

274
00:24:34,902 --> 00:24:36,530
<i>

275
00:24:35,639 --> 00:24:36,937
Yeah, well, I...

276
00:24:37,407 --> 00:24:38,534
Goodbye, Jim.

277
00:24:38,809 --> 00:24:40,710
You get to the airport by taking Valley Street

278
00:24:40,777 --> 00:24:42,712
and turning right at Airport Drive.

279
00:24:42,813 --> 00:24:46,181
Take Valley Street, and right at Airport Drive. Yeah, I got it.

280
00:24:47,217 --> 00:24:49,015
Lieutenant, if you ever get to L.A...

281
00:24:49,086 --> 00:24:51,351
why don't look me up? We could probably have some fun.

282
00:24:51,421 --> 00:24:53,515
Maybe roll a few drunks, or something.

283
00:25:13,975 --> 00:25:16,308
I asked around, pal. Nobody seems to know him.

284
00:25:17,178 --> 00:25:19,272
Keep it. My phone number's on the back.

285
00:25:19,847 --> 00:25:22,373
You said you was at the Holly Motel? Yeah.

286
00:25:22,583 --> 00:25:26,042
There's some guys in back who might know him. They know everybody else.

287
00:25:26,120 --> 00:25:27,816
But I can't get in there for a while.

288
00:25:27,889 --> 00:25:29,949
What? Do you got a card game going back there?

289
00:25:31,092 --> 00:25:32,116
What are the stakes?

290
00:25:32,460 --> 00:25:35,157
You couldn't cut it. Costs $50 to buy a hand.

291
00:25:35,963 --> 00:25:37,022
How do you get a seat?

292
00:25:38,332 --> 00:25:40,164
No way, they got to know you.

293
00:25:43,337 --> 00:25:46,603
Well, who's the guy? If he's from around here, maybe we know him.

294
00:25:46,674 --> 00:25:50,270
I don't want to bother you guys. You're nice enough to let me sit in your game.

295
00:25:50,344 --> 00:25:53,746
No problem. Couple of guys got hung up. We had room.

296
00:25:54,048 --> 00:25:57,018
I think Larry's still gonna make it. Yeah. So who's the guy?

297
00:25:57,084 --> 00:26:00,054
We know a lot of people. Ask around, maybe we can help you find him.

298
00:26:00,121 --> 00:26:03,523
I got a picture of him with me. I don't know if he looks like that now.

299
00:26:04,358 --> 00:26:07,726
He probably had a nose job. You know Hollywood, everybody gets a nose job.

300
00:26:09,730 --> 00:26:12,165
You know something? Larry could help us in this.

301
00:26:12,233 --> 00:26:14,327
He could run it in that computer, or something.

302
00:26:14,402 --> 00:26:16,496
Larry? Yeah, you're in his chair.

303
00:26:16,571 --> 00:26:18,597
When he gets here, we'll show it to him.

304
00:26:18,673 --> 00:26:20,403
I've already seen it, Rockford.

305
00:26:22,443 --> 00:26:25,607
This guy's gonna make a movie. Wants to use the bar for a location.

306
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,172
I think I'll just cash in my chips and hit the road.

307
00:26:28,249 --> 00:26:29,615
Leave them.

308
00:26:30,785 --> 00:26:32,981
You're kidding. There's over $200 here.

309
00:26:33,855 --> 00:26:35,255
You're gonna make a movie?

310
00:26:36,090 --> 00:26:38,286
How would you like to make a documentary?

311
00:26:38,693 --> 00:26:40,025
About our county jail.

312
00:26:40,661 --> 00:26:41,924
On what charge?

313
00:26:42,396 --> 00:26:45,423
Film-flamming friends of Detective Lt. Larry Pierson.

314
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,899
That's good for 90 days county time, Rockford.

315
00:26:47,969 --> 00:26:51,428
Sentence suspended if you're on the next flight back to Tinseltown.

316
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,269
You guys are really something.

317
00:26:54,342 --> 00:26:56,675
You want me in this game to keep guys like this away.

318
00:26:56,744 --> 00:26:59,111
I'm an hour late, you give this hustler my chair.

319
00:26:59,180 --> 00:27:01,445
What was that you said, Larry?

320
00:27:02,984 --> 00:27:06,079
It was Valley Street to Airport Drive and then turn right?

321
00:27:08,155 --> 00:27:09,521
This is a hot seat, Larry.

322
00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:58,914
All right, I'm leaving. Just let me get my stuff.

323
00:27:59,717 --> 00:28:03,347
You can tell Lt. Pierson to relax. He's going to get an ulcer.

324
00:28:03,854 --> 00:28:05,982
Don't know what you're talking about, friend.

325
00:28:06,057 --> 00:28:08,083
Yeah? Yeah.

326
00:28:09,293 --> 00:28:10,784
You travel kind of light.

327
00:28:11,262 --> 00:28:12,855
You guys aren't cops? No.

328
00:28:12,930 --> 00:28:14,421
Who are you?

329
00:28:14,498 --> 00:28:16,262
We're with the chamber of commerce.

330
00:28:17,234 --> 00:28:18,964
That's funny. I really like jokes.

331
00:28:19,036 --> 00:28:21,562
I'm trying to get out of town before the cops have me...

332
00:28:21,639 --> 00:28:23,665
swinging a brush hook on the county roads.

333
00:28:23,741 --> 00:28:26,404
So if you'll let me get my stuff together, I'll be on my way.

334
00:28:26,477 --> 00:28:28,309
We want a little talk with you first.

335
00:28:28,379 --> 00:28:29,711
About what?

336
00:28:30,448 --> 00:28:33,782
You've been spreading these around town. We want to know why.

337
00:28:34,652 --> 00:28:36,484
If you have any information about him...

338
00:28:36,554 --> 00:28:39,786
that relates to his background here in New Jersey...

339
00:28:39,857 --> 00:28:41,257
there's a $5,000 reward.

340
00:28:41,325 --> 00:28:43,157
Sounds like you already know where he is.

341
00:28:43,227 --> 00:28:45,696
If you gentlemen have any information, I'll buy.

342
00:28:46,063 --> 00:28:50,023
We want to know why we're giving it. We're cautious about this kind of thing.

343
00:28:50,568 --> 00:28:51,592
Hi, how's it going?

344
00:28:52,803 --> 00:28:54,755
How about it? Tell us why you wanna know,

345
00:28:54,779 --> 00:28:56,899
we'll tell you what we know. Straight trade.

346
00:28:56,974 --> 00:28:59,034
You tell me what you know...

347
00:28:59,110 --> 00:29:01,102
I'll give you the $5,000. That's a trade.

348
00:29:01,178 --> 00:29:03,545
Who are you working for? Myself.

349
00:29:04,048 --> 00:29:05,209
I don't think so.

350
00:29:06,550 --> 00:29:08,451
You couldn't come up with the $5,000.

351
00:29:08,519 --> 00:29:10,681
You buy your underwear at a discount house.

352
00:29:13,224 --> 00:29:15,125
Why don't you come to the point?

353
00:29:16,827 --> 00:29:20,229
You don't want the money. You just want to know who I'm working for, right?

354
00:29:20,698 --> 00:29:22,564
As long as you put it that way, yeah.

355
00:29:22,633 --> 00:29:25,193
I'm not telling. You can't be that stupid.

356
00:29:25,469 --> 00:29:28,234
Sure, I can. I've been doing stupid things all day.

357
00:29:28,839 --> 00:29:32,401
Why don't you two guys head on back to the chamber of commerce?

358
00:29:37,081 --> 00:29:38,344
Okay.

359
00:29:38,816 --> 00:29:41,786
It really doesn't matter. I'll tell you what you do, Rockford.

360
00:29:41,852 --> 00:29:43,684
You go back home and tell your client...

361
00:29:43,754 --> 00:29:46,451
what he's doing is very dangerous and very stupid.

362
00:29:46,524 --> 00:29:50,393
If he wants to be smart, he'll stop investigating Mark Chalmers. You got that?

363
00:29:52,463 --> 00:29:54,830
Sounds like a threat. It's not a threat.

364
00:29:56,367 --> 00:29:58,734
It's what you call sound advice, Mr. Rockford.

365
00:30:01,572 --> 00:30:02,699
Good night.

366
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,035
M-N-U 8-0.

367
00:31:13,010 --> 00:31:14,010
No.

368
00:31:15,146 --> 00:31:16,409
0-8-9.

369
00:31:21,051 --> 00:31:23,111
M-W-N.

370
00:31:24,989 --> 00:31:26,218
0-8...

371
00:31:39,814 --> 00:31:41,715
<i>Arriving passengers from Newark...</i>

372
00:31:41,782 --> 00:31:45,150
<i>please report to TransGlobal's passenger service counter.</i>

373
00:32:01,001 --> 00:32:03,732
Mr. Jameson, please. This is Jim Rockford.

374
00:32:06,273 --> 00:32:08,572
Yes, sir. I'm back.

375
00:32:09,510 --> 00:32:12,742
It's hard to say. I really don't know.

376
00:32:13,314 --> 00:32:15,283
<i>Something happened back there...</i>

377
00:32:16,016 --> 00:32:18,542
<i>a little weird. But I'll fill you in.</i>

378
00:32:26,794 --> 00:32:27,818
Put him in the car.

379
00:32:27,895 --> 00:32:31,354
What do you mean? I'm busting with good information. You should listen to it.

380
00:32:31,432 --> 00:32:32,627
Put him in the car.

381
00:32:32,700 --> 00:32:34,430
Come on, pal. Have a heart.

382
00:32:42,676 --> 00:32:45,305
I'm sorry about that, pal, just a reflex action.

383
00:32:45,379 --> 00:32:46,540
Move him out.

384
00:33:36,830 --> 00:33:38,162
Go!

385
00:34:10,552 --> 00:34:13,545
Federal officers! Everybody out of the car with your hands up.

386
00:34:14,222 --> 00:34:15,588
Come on, he's got to be kidding.

387
00:34:15,657 --> 00:34:18,058
Get out of the car with your hands up.

388
00:34:20,528 --> 00:34:22,827
Put it away. We have attorneys.

389
00:34:31,806 --> 00:34:33,104
I'm Jim Rockford.

390
00:34:33,174 --> 00:34:35,700
I know who you are. These men took you from your trailer...

391
00:34:35,777 --> 00:34:38,872
at approximately 3:15 this afternoon, apparently against your will.

392
00:34:38,947 --> 00:34:41,644
If you prefer charges and will agree to testify against them...

393
00:34:41,716 --> 00:34:42,996
I'll charge them with kidnapping.

394
00:34:43,051 --> 00:34:45,543
That's ridiculous. Tell him, Jim.

395
00:34:46,187 --> 00:34:48,713
You book them. I'll testify.

396
00:34:49,824 --> 00:34:52,225
I'll inform you of your rights. You are under arrest.

397
00:34:52,293 --> 00:34:54,819
If you do not have an attorney, one will be provided for you.

398
00:34:54,896 --> 00:34:55,896
I have one.

399
00:34:55,964 --> 00:34:58,900
He makes more in one month than a creep like you makes in a lifetime.

400
00:34:58,967 --> 00:35:02,335
I should advice you, sir, anything you say may be used against you.

401
00:35:14,793 --> 00:35:15,988
Want some more coffee?

402
00:35:16,061 --> 00:35:17,927
No, thanks. I'm fine.

403
00:35:24,369 --> 00:35:27,498
Now, if you'll just sign the complaint, we'll be on our way.

404
00:35:27,972 --> 00:35:30,498
Pal, do you want to do me a favor? Sure, name it.

405
00:35:30,675 --> 00:35:32,473
Would you tell me what's going on?

406
00:35:32,544 --> 00:35:35,912
Simple. You sign the complaint. The federal prosecutor will prosecute.

407
00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:39,417
And these guys will become permanent members of the federal penitentiary.

408
00:35:39,818 --> 00:35:41,719
That's not what I mean, and you know it.

409
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,287
You look a little tired. Why don't you just sign this...

410
00:35:44,355 --> 00:35:47,086
and go on back to your trailer, and get yourself a little shuteye.

411
00:35:47,158 --> 00:35:48,854
Don't you want to know who I'm working for?

412
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,690
Seems to be everybody's favorite question.

413
00:35:50,762 --> 00:35:52,663
That's a local matter, and I'm not interested.

414
00:35:52,730 --> 00:35:55,131
I'm only interested in putting Torrance Beck in jail.

415
00:35:55,233 --> 00:35:57,395
Now, if you'd just sign this.

416
00:35:57,469 --> 00:35:59,335
Not until I know what's going on.

417
00:35:59,471 --> 00:36:01,064
Nothing's going on.

418
00:36:01,806 --> 00:36:04,207
Then how come everywhere I go I keep getting pounded on?

419
00:36:04,275 --> 00:36:06,608
I'm sure you're gonna find that's all over with now...

420
00:36:06,678 --> 00:36:09,147
if you'd just sign the complaint.

421
00:36:12,684 --> 00:36:14,846
I've changed my mind.

422
00:36:18,156 --> 00:36:21,388
If I'm not under arrest, I'd like to get out of here.

423
00:36:21,459 --> 00:36:23,257
You don't want to mess with me, Rockford.

424
00:36:23,328 --> 00:36:25,729
You get difficult and I'm going to jerk you up tight.

425
00:36:25,964 --> 00:36:28,160
I'm a taxpayer. Big deal.

426
00:36:28,233 --> 00:36:30,031
Who is Mark Chalmers?

427
00:36:30,101 --> 00:36:32,798
Mark Chalmers? I don't know who you're talking about.

428
00:36:34,205 --> 00:36:36,106
Like hell you don't.

429
00:36:39,210 --> 00:36:41,645
Rockford, I work for the Federal Justice Department.

430
00:36:41,713 --> 00:36:44,273
I am attached to the Organized Crime Strike Force.

431
00:36:44,349 --> 00:36:47,183
Torrance Beck is a member of organized crime.

432
00:36:47,252 --> 00:36:48,584
I was staked out on him...

433
00:36:48,653 --> 00:36:51,782
and I followed Harry to your trailer, and I saw him pick you up.

434
00:36:51,856 --> 00:36:54,325
I then followed the car back to Beck's house...

435
00:36:54,392 --> 00:36:57,760
and called for assistance. Lucky break. We got them all on kidnapping.

436
00:36:57,862 --> 00:37:00,627
That's great. You mean, you were standing outside my trailer...

437
00:37:00,698 --> 00:37:03,668
while those two hoods turned my place into a room full of junk?

438
00:37:03,735 --> 00:37:05,968
That was the only way. I had to wait to see

439
00:37:05,992 --> 00:37:08,196
where it went, and then hope for the best.

440
00:37:08,273 --> 00:37:10,674
I want to get out of here. Tell them to move.

441
00:37:10,775 --> 00:37:12,471
When you sign the complaint, Rockford.

442
00:37:12,911 --> 00:37:15,380
Look, hotshot, I've been having a terrible day.

443
00:37:15,446 --> 00:37:17,574
I got two loose teeth that have been killing me.

444
00:37:17,649 --> 00:37:19,880
I got this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach...

445
00:37:19,951 --> 00:37:22,819
that I'm the only guy in the game that doesn't know what trump is.

446
00:37:22,887 --> 00:37:25,413
I have been followed by criminals and threatened by cops...

447
00:37:25,490 --> 00:37:26,719
and now I come up on you.

448
00:37:26,791 --> 00:37:30,091
You got all the answers and you stand there like some big, leafy elm.

449
00:37:30,161 --> 00:37:32,494
Fine. You want to play it that way, that's okay with me.

450
00:37:32,564 --> 00:37:34,863
But I'm not signing that complaint till I get clued in.

451
00:37:35,166 --> 00:37:37,658
I have told you all that I could tell you.

452
00:37:37,802 --> 00:37:40,362
Then let me outta here, or I'm going to slap a lawsuit on you.

453
00:37:40,939 --> 00:37:42,339
I'll subpoena you for the trial.

454
00:37:42,407 --> 00:37:45,309
You haven't lived till you've tried to serve me with a subpoena.

455
00:37:45,376 --> 00:37:48,676
That's one of my career specialties: ducking process servers.

456
00:37:50,048 --> 00:37:53,041
Okay, Mr. Rockford, you can go. But if you'd like a little advice...

457
00:37:53,117 --> 00:37:55,586
from a representative of your federal government...

458
00:37:55,653 --> 00:37:58,088
go out and buy yourself an extra toothbrush...

459
00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:00,424
and then pack it in your wallet.

460
00:38:05,029 --> 00:38:07,498
You try to arrest me on some trumped-up charge...

461
00:38:08,132 --> 00:38:10,761
and I'm going to testify against my federal government.

462
00:38:10,835 --> 00:38:14,966
And Torrance Beck is going to get away scot-free and charge you with false arrest.

463
00:38:17,842 --> 00:38:18,842
It's been swell.

464
00:38:54,916 --> 00:38:56,350
Come in.

465
00:38:58,587 --> 00:39:00,021
Hi.

466
00:39:01,923 --> 00:39:04,358
What are you doing? Just what it looks like.

467
00:39:04,559 --> 00:39:07,256
I was getting ready to rap you on the head with an ashtray.

468
00:39:11,867 --> 00:39:14,302
I like the way you rearranged the furniture.

469
00:39:15,103 --> 00:39:16,366
Looks nice.

470
00:39:17,072 --> 00:39:19,064
That's just what I need right now, Rocky.

471
00:39:19,141 --> 00:39:21,975
A bunch of smart remarks about what this place looks like.

472
00:39:22,044 --> 00:39:23,444
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

473
00:39:23,512 --> 00:39:25,208
What did happen, anyway?

474
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,676
I got slapped around in here.

475
00:39:27,749 --> 00:39:30,014
I'm still waiting for somebody to tell me why.

476
00:39:31,053 --> 00:39:33,818
You mean, you don't know why? That don't make sense.

477
00:39:33,922 --> 00:39:36,050
I know. I'm thinking of quitting this case I'm on.

478
00:39:36,124 --> 00:39:37,615
Now that does make sense.

479
00:39:38,126 --> 00:39:39,492
If you want my opinion...

480
00:39:39,561 --> 00:39:41,621
you should quit the whole lousy racket.

481
00:39:41,697 --> 00:39:43,029
I'm thinking about that, too.

482
00:39:43,932 --> 00:39:45,730
As long as you're quitting...

483
00:39:45,801 --> 00:39:48,669
it don't make no difference that you stood up a fellow named...

484
00:39:48,737 --> 00:39:50,603
Warren Jameson.

485
00:39:51,306 --> 00:39:52,467
Warner Jameson?

486
00:39:52,541 --> 00:39:54,271
Yeah, that's the one. He called me.

487
00:39:54,343 --> 00:39:56,103
Got my number out of the phone book, I guess.

488
00:39:56,745 --> 00:39:59,715
Did you know that there's only three Rockfords in the phone book?

489
00:39:59,781 --> 00:40:01,374
There's you, there's me.

490
00:40:01,450 --> 00:40:03,419
There's that guy from Detroit that got beat up...

491
00:40:03,485 --> 00:40:05,113
'cause they thought he was you.

492
00:40:05,187 --> 00:40:07,213
That little guy with the broken glasses?

493
00:40:09,358 --> 00:40:10,553
What did Jameson say?

494
00:40:11,126 --> 00:40:13,755
He said that he was on his way up to his country home.

495
00:40:14,062 --> 00:40:16,258
And he was up there then...

496
00:40:16,331 --> 00:40:19,301
and he was waiting for you, but you didn't show, and where was you?

497
00:40:19,368 --> 00:40:22,668
Good, let him cool his heels for a while.

498
00:40:22,738 --> 00:40:24,969
I didn't like him much on the phone, either.

499
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,599
He did leave me a number...

500
00:40:27,275 --> 00:40:31,042
but as long as you're not interested anymore, I guess you won't need it.

501
00:40:37,152 --> 00:40:39,144
Jim, when will you ever learn?

502
00:40:39,254 --> 00:40:42,088
All these fellows want is for you to take the thumping for them.

503
00:40:42,157 --> 00:40:44,422
Look at this place, look at it!

504
00:40:44,860 --> 00:40:47,830
Looks like the backroom of Montgomery Ward's.

505
00:40:48,864 --> 00:40:50,423
You ain't listening to me.

506
00:40:50,499 --> 00:40:51,523
Sure I am, Rocky.

507
00:40:52,267 --> 00:40:54,099
I want to speak to Warren Jameson, please.

508
00:40:55,504 --> 00:40:56,870
It's Jim Rockford.

509
00:40:57,145 --> 00:40:59,774
I thought you'd be at the country house four hours ago.

510
00:40:59,847 --> 00:41:00,847
I got hung up.

511
00:41:00,915 --> 00:41:03,043
I waited for you as long as I could.

512
00:41:03,151 --> 00:41:05,017
I've got to go back East for a day on business.

513
00:41:05,086 --> 00:41:08,454
I'm in town now, and I'll be here an hour before I leave for the airport.

514
00:41:08,523 --> 00:41:09,616
I'll expect you.

515
00:41:09,690 --> 00:41:12,922
I'll meet you at Trattoria's Steakhouse. It's right near the airport.

516
00:41:12,994 --> 00:41:16,487
You'll meet me here. I still don't want to be seen with you.

517
00:41:16,831 --> 00:41:19,596
I got news for you. I don't really care what you want anymore.

518
00:41:19,667 --> 00:41:21,295
I only care what I want.

519
00:41:21,369 --> 00:41:24,362
I'll be at Trattoria's Steakhouse. I'll be there in 20 minutes.

520
00:41:25,139 --> 00:41:26,539
That's telling him, boy.

521
00:41:27,809 --> 00:41:31,075
Rock, would you do me a favor? Would you straighten up this place for me?

522
00:41:31,579 --> 00:41:32,911
Sure, I'll be glad to.

523
00:41:36,350 --> 00:41:38,182
You mean, it's not going to cost me anything?

524
00:41:39,053 --> 00:41:40,612
Look, I'm still your father.

525
00:41:41,255 --> 00:41:44,123
Don't worry, I'll do it all up nice. You'll see.

526
00:41:44,358 --> 00:41:45,849
You're all right, Rocky.

527
00:41:59,524 --> 00:42:01,618
Couldn't you get a table in the kitchen?

528
00:42:01,693 --> 00:42:03,753
I told you I don't want to be seen with you.

529
00:42:03,828 --> 00:42:05,319
Then let's get to the point.

530
00:42:05,397 --> 00:42:08,526
I want you to fill me in on what you got in New Jersey...

531
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:10,865
and then I want to terminate our arrangement.

532
00:42:10,935 --> 00:42:12,961
You're canning me? Right.

533
00:42:13,171 --> 00:42:14,969
What if I don't want to be canned?

534
00:42:15,039 --> 00:42:17,770
In that case, my attorneys will get in touch with you...

535
00:42:17,842 --> 00:42:20,744
and explain the legal facts of life to you.

536
00:42:21,746 --> 00:42:24,181
I'm afraid they're going to have to stand in line.

537
00:42:26,418 --> 00:42:29,217
I believe I paid you for some information.

538
00:42:29,287 --> 00:42:33,884
Please recite it to me as quickly as possible and leave.

539
00:42:34,092 --> 00:42:36,823
There's nothing I'd rather do than to get off this case.

540
00:42:36,895 --> 00:42:39,023
You'd be surprised how it's been snowballing.

541
00:42:39,097 --> 00:42:41,066
Every time I look in my rear-view mirror...

542
00:42:41,132 --> 00:42:42,794
there's a new gray Chevy following me.

543
00:42:42,867 --> 00:42:44,199
You can take me off the case...

544
00:42:44,269 --> 00:42:46,363
but who's going to take those other guys off me?

545
00:42:46,438 --> 00:42:48,907
What am I supposed to do? Take an ad in the classified?

546
00:42:48,973 --> 00:42:51,442
I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.

547
00:42:51,509 --> 00:42:54,343
I just don't think you've been leveling with me, that's all.

548
00:42:54,412 --> 00:42:56,779
Now, I know Chalmers is at the center of it...

549
00:42:56,848 --> 00:42:59,682
and the Federal Government is interested, but they're not talking.

550
00:42:59,751 --> 00:43:02,118
And then there's Torrance Beck, this underworld character...

551
00:43:02,187 --> 00:43:04,486
he was on the track for a while, but he broke down.

552
00:43:04,556 --> 00:43:08,015
There's you, and the two guys who visited me in my hotel in Newark.

553
00:43:08,092 --> 00:43:11,324
They were wearing sweat socks and rubber-soled shoes.

554
00:43:11,396 --> 00:43:13,592
So I figured they were probably Newark heat.

555
00:43:13,665 --> 00:43:15,657
But now I think they might have been Feds.

556
00:43:15,733 --> 00:43:17,725
What is it you want from me?

557
00:43:17,802 --> 00:43:20,294
I just want to know what the hell's going on, that's all.

558
00:43:20,371 --> 00:43:23,068
I told you, I haven't the faintest idea.

559
00:43:23,408 --> 00:43:25,240
I think you're just a little too edgy...

560
00:43:25,310 --> 00:43:28,075
about Susan finding out about all this.

561
00:43:28,613 --> 00:43:30,946
Maybe I should just talk to her.

562
00:43:31,583 --> 00:43:33,381
I told you the truth.

563
00:43:33,818 --> 00:43:37,346
And I'm not used to taking cheap shots from people like you.

564
00:43:37,755 --> 00:43:39,417
Cheap shots? That kills me.

565
00:43:39,491 --> 00:43:42,620
My only interest in having Mark Chalmers investigated...

566
00:43:42,694 --> 00:43:44,128
was exactly as I told you.

567
00:43:44,195 --> 00:43:46,164
I happen to love my daughter.

568
00:43:46,231 --> 00:43:49,065
And the thought of having her marry a man like that...

569
00:43:49,133 --> 00:43:50,761
turns my stomach.

570
00:43:52,070 --> 00:43:53,834
I think he's a phony.

571
00:43:53,905 --> 00:43:57,137
I don't know what he was involved in before. You're probably right.

572
00:43:57,208 --> 00:44:00,269
Whatever it was, it was something very messy.

573
00:44:00,411 --> 00:44:01,572
Ahem. Now...

574
00:44:02,947 --> 00:44:05,246
Mark came to my office this afternoon.

575
00:44:05,316 --> 00:44:07,945
He's evidently found out I was investigating him.

576
00:44:08,019 --> 00:44:09,783
And he's worried plenty.

577
00:44:10,421 --> 00:44:12,686
He told me if I call off the investigation...

578
00:44:12,757 --> 00:44:14,419
he'd never see my daughter again.

579
00:44:14,492 --> 00:44:18,020
He also promised not to tell Susan that I'd had him investigated.

580
00:44:18,096 --> 00:44:19,894
We shook hands on it.

581
00:44:20,164 --> 00:44:23,100
Why do you want to find out what I'd learned in Newark?

582
00:44:23,167 --> 00:44:26,069
Insurance. If it's slimy enough...

583
00:44:27,472 --> 00:44:30,738
it's good insurance to make sure he keeps his word.

584
00:44:31,809 --> 00:44:35,405
You see, Rockford, that's all I was ever after.

585
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,678
All this other stuff, I don't know about, nor do I care.

586
00:44:38,750 --> 00:44:39,979
You're through.

587
00:44:40,051 --> 00:44:41,781
I've got everything I wanted.

588
00:44:41,853 --> 00:44:44,550
And it doesn't bother you that I'm left with...

589
00:44:44,622 --> 00:44:46,022
a "Kick Me" sign?

590
00:44:46,090 --> 00:44:48,685
I'm just supposed to be a good sport about it? Is that it?

591
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,729
You're paid to take those risks.

592
00:44:50,795 --> 00:44:52,991
Consider yourself terminated.

593
00:44:53,364 --> 00:44:54,889
Send me a bill.

594
00:44:55,066 --> 00:44:57,092
I've got a plane to catch.

595
00:50:01,533 --> 00:50:03,024
Come in. It's open.

596
00:50:03,101 --> 00:50:06,003
Don't you hit me with no ashtray and I will.

597
00:50:10,842 --> 00:50:12,902
Morning, Sonny. Hi, Rocky.

598
00:50:12,978 --> 00:50:15,504
I want to thank you for straightening this place up.

599
00:50:15,580 --> 00:50:17,276
After last night, I don't think...

600
00:50:17,349 --> 00:50:18,942
I could have faced it the way it was.

601
00:50:19,017 --> 00:50:21,782
Don't give it a thought. It was a pleasure. No charge.

602
00:50:21,853 --> 00:50:25,017
How does it feel being out of the gumshoe racket?

603
00:50:25,357 --> 00:50:27,155
Pretty good, I guess.

604
00:50:27,225 --> 00:50:28,591
What's that?

605
00:50:28,660 --> 00:50:30,629
Those are job opportunities.

606
00:50:30,696 --> 00:50:33,165
I spent the whole morning scanning that page.

607
00:50:33,231 --> 00:50:35,223
You'd be surprised how many there are...

608
00:50:35,300 --> 00:50:38,327
that don't mean a fellow's got to get his skull crushed in.

609
00:50:38,403 --> 00:50:42,397
Look, I even circled it, real good ones for you there.

610
00:50:44,309 --> 00:50:45,902
You did quit, didn't you?

611
00:50:45,978 --> 00:50:47,810
Rocky, sometimes you make me feel...

612
00:50:47,879 --> 00:50:49,404
like a piece of meat in a desert.

613
00:50:49,481 --> 00:50:52,940
I ain't hovering. Honest, I'm not, Son. It's just...

614
00:50:53,018 --> 00:50:55,715
You can't sit around idle all the time.

615
00:50:56,488 --> 00:51:00,152
You got to get yourself a nice office job like, you know...

616
00:51:00,225 --> 00:51:02,785
At least till you stop bleeding internally.

617
00:51:02,861 --> 00:51:03,861
I can't.

618
00:51:04,429 --> 00:51:05,488
Why not?

619
00:51:05,564 --> 00:51:07,226
I'm allergic to fluorescent lighting.

620
00:51:07,299 --> 00:51:09,359
Fluorescent lighting. That's very funny.

621
00:51:09,434 --> 00:51:10,732
You'd rather stick around here...

622
00:51:10,802 --> 00:51:12,737
pressed against the wall with an ashtray...

623
00:51:12,804 --> 00:51:13,863
over your head?

624
00:51:13,939 --> 00:51:17,239
I had a piece of steak in here. What happened to it?

625
00:51:18,377 --> 00:51:20,141
I had it last night.

626
00:51:21,113 --> 00:51:22,479
I was hungry.

627
00:51:22,547 --> 00:51:26,245
I also had eggs in here. Three eggs. What happened to them?

628
00:51:27,953 --> 00:51:29,751
I had steak and eggs.

629
00:51:30,322 --> 00:51:33,019
While we're at it, how about that bottle of Scotch?

630
00:51:33,091 --> 00:51:34,889
You never said I couldn't snack.

631
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:39,227
No charge? I could have hired professional house cleaners for a lot less.

632
00:51:39,297 --> 00:51:41,562
Do you know how much T-bone steak costs?

633
00:51:41,633 --> 00:51:43,932
You bet I do. I ain't no dummy.

634
00:51:44,136 --> 00:51:45,661
You sure ain't.

635
00:51:49,641 --> 00:51:50,734
Here.

636
00:51:55,881 --> 00:51:56,881
Hi.

637
00:51:57,482 --> 00:51:59,474
Hi. It's Susan, isn't it?

638
00:52:00,085 --> 00:52:02,520
Susan Jameson. We met at Mark's club.

639
00:52:02,921 --> 00:52:05,117
Yeah, I remember. Come on in.

640
00:52:08,326 --> 00:52:11,524
Susan Jameson, this is my father, Joseph Rockford.

641
00:52:11,830 --> 00:52:12,830
How do you do?

642
00:52:12,898 --> 00:52:14,628
Pretty good, thank you.

643
00:52:17,402 --> 00:52:18,461
It's nice.

644
00:52:19,271 --> 00:52:21,206
You should have seen it last night.

645
00:52:21,273 --> 00:52:23,902
Looked like the bottom of a grocery sack.

646
00:52:24,976 --> 00:52:27,468
What can I do for you, Ms. Jameson?

647
00:52:29,081 --> 00:52:31,516
You're the only private detective that I know...

648
00:52:31,583 --> 00:52:33,074
so I looked you up in the phone book.

649
00:52:33,151 --> 00:52:35,382
Jimmy is retiring from the private eye business.

650
00:52:35,454 --> 00:52:37,889
He's going into something more stable.

651
00:52:37,956 --> 00:52:41,222
He had a very bad year, you know, financially and physically.

652
00:52:41,526 --> 00:52:43,961
Rocky, buzz off.

653
00:52:46,298 --> 00:52:48,460
Have you had breakfast?

654
00:52:48,567 --> 00:52:49,591
No.

655
00:52:49,668 --> 00:52:53,002
If you let me change, we'll go get something to eat, huh?

656
00:52:53,338 --> 00:52:55,239
There's a real nice place over by the beach.

657
00:52:55,307 --> 00:52:57,367
Just make yourself at home.

658
00:53:01,687 --> 00:53:03,315
What do you want?

659
00:53:04,957 --> 00:53:06,687
The tacos are good.

660
00:53:07,059 --> 00:53:09,551
No, I can't get into tacos for breakfast.

661
00:53:09,628 --> 00:53:11,756
I'll have a taco and coffee.

662
00:53:12,164 --> 00:53:13,928
Just coffee, please. Okay.

663
00:53:13,999 --> 00:53:15,695
And lots of hot sauce, Louis.

664
00:53:15,767 --> 00:53:16,767
All right.

665
00:53:19,471 --> 00:53:21,235
What's your problem?

666
00:53:21,974 --> 00:53:24,239
Well, it's a long story. It's...

667
00:53:27,646 --> 00:53:29,774
I don't know where to begin.

668
00:53:30,382 --> 00:53:32,442
You're not going to start crying, are you?

669
00:53:32,518 --> 00:53:35,010
I can't take that before breakfast.

670
00:53:38,323 --> 00:53:40,622
I was engaged to Mark Chalmers.

671
00:53:40,959 --> 00:53:43,519
You probably met him. He owns Mark's.

672
00:53:45,397 --> 00:53:47,832
I never met him. I know who he is.

673
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,628
He was my fiancé.

674
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:54,069
Last night, he called me and asked me to have dinner.

675
00:53:54,806 --> 00:53:57,799
But he was... I don't know, but he was strange.

676
00:53:58,977 --> 00:54:02,641
He told me that he couldn't marry me, that he'd changed his mind.

677
00:54:02,714 --> 00:54:05,115
He said he couldn't see me again.

678
00:54:05,217 --> 00:54:07,049
What do you want me to do?

679
00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:09,486
It's not like he was dumping me.

680
00:54:09,821 --> 00:54:13,189
I've had that happen before, and it wasn't like that.

681
00:54:14,293 --> 00:54:17,593
You know, I mean, he had tears.

682
00:54:20,199 --> 00:54:22,430
Hustle it up, will you, Louis?

683
00:54:22,634 --> 00:54:25,160
I'm sorry, really. I'm not the weepy type. It's...

684
00:54:25,470 --> 00:54:27,564
I'm still a little knocked down by this.

685
00:54:27,639 --> 00:54:30,837
Maybe you should have had one of the tacos with the hot sauce...

686
00:54:30,909 --> 00:54:33,743
then if you started crying, you could blame it on the menu.

687
00:54:33,812 --> 00:54:34,905
Yeah.

688
00:54:38,617 --> 00:54:40,518
You're being very nice.

689
00:54:40,986 --> 00:54:44,047
I know this is a terrible way to start your morning.

690
00:54:44,122 --> 00:54:47,024
Actually, it's a lot better than yesterday.

691
00:54:50,896 --> 00:54:52,797
Here's your sauce. All right.

692
00:54:52,864 --> 00:54:54,025
Put it on my tab, will you?

693
00:54:54,099 --> 00:54:55,099
Right.

694
00:54:55,234 --> 00:54:57,100
Let's move over there.

695
00:55:04,977 --> 00:55:06,707
Now, where were we?

696
00:55:07,679 --> 00:55:10,376
He just said that he couldn't marry me.

697
00:55:10,449 --> 00:55:12,418
No explanation. Nothing.

698
00:55:13,585 --> 00:55:15,816
I mean, he was just as upset as I was.

699
00:55:17,089 --> 00:55:19,888
Anyway, he just took me home and he left.

700
00:55:21,393 --> 00:55:23,885
What do you want? You want me to find him or what?

701
00:55:23,962 --> 00:55:26,898
I want you to find out why he broke the engagement.

702
00:55:26,965 --> 00:55:30,424
I mean, there must be some reason, and it wasn't another woman.

703
00:55:32,304 --> 00:55:34,933
Do you have any family in Los Angeles?

704
00:55:35,007 --> 00:55:36,532
Just my father.

705
00:55:38,377 --> 00:55:39,970
What's his name?

706
00:55:40,045 --> 00:55:41,570
Warner Jameson.

707
00:55:42,781 --> 00:55:44,875
You talked to him about it?

708
00:55:45,884 --> 00:55:47,614
We don't get along.

709
00:55:47,686 --> 00:55:49,450
He didn't like Mark.

710
00:55:49,554 --> 00:55:51,989
As a matter of fact, he hated him.

711
00:55:52,391 --> 00:55:55,225
But then, he hated every man I ever dated.

712
00:55:55,494 --> 00:55:58,658
I guess it's a father's prerogative to hate what you like.

713
00:55:58,730 --> 00:56:00,323
Or what you do for a living.

714
00:56:00,399 --> 00:56:02,368
Can you find out for me?

715
00:56:05,604 --> 00:56:08,506
What's the matter? Can't you take the case?

716
00:56:09,174 --> 00:56:10,403
Listen, Susan...

717
00:56:10,475 --> 00:56:11,475
It's Sue.

718
00:56:13,111 --> 00:56:15,637
I've got a little problem of professional ethics...

719
00:56:15,714 --> 00:56:17,342
that I got to clear up first.

720
00:56:17,649 --> 00:56:19,117
What are you talking about?

721
00:56:19,184 --> 00:56:21,119
It gets kind of involved.

722
00:56:21,186 --> 00:56:24,748
What kind of ethics does a private detective have to have?

723
00:56:24,823 --> 00:56:26,189
My own kind.

724
00:56:26,558 --> 00:56:30,086
It has to do with shaving and looking into mirrors...

725
00:56:30,362 --> 00:56:33,992
and a lot of other trite stuff you've probably heard before.

726
00:56:34,333 --> 00:56:37,963
Let me see if I can work it out, and I'll give you a call.

727
00:56:38,203 --> 00:56:40,104
How much do you charge?

728
00:56:42,374 --> 00:56:44,343
$200 a day, plus expenses.

729
00:56:45,010 --> 00:56:46,376
It's a lot.

730
00:56:46,511 --> 00:56:47,774
Think so?

731
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,115
I was thinking about increasing it.

732
00:56:51,550 --> 00:56:53,143
No, I'll pay it.

733
00:56:53,752 --> 00:56:55,653
Let me give you a call.

734
00:56:55,721 --> 00:56:59,021
I just have to clear the decks with an old client first.

735
00:56:59,091 --> 00:57:02,391
I'll finish this taco and I'll walk you to your car.

736
00:57:24,150 --> 00:57:25,948
Come on in, Rockford.

737
00:57:28,755 --> 00:57:30,417
Squeeze him, Mort.

738
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,501
Are you coming with us, Rockford?

739
00:57:44,437 --> 00:57:46,167
You all right, Dad?

740
00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:49,801
Yeah.

741
00:58:19,312 --> 00:58:20,905
What's going on?

742
00:58:21,748 --> 00:58:23,216
You got the wrong guy.

743
00:58:23,283 --> 00:58:26,014
I'm not even in the private detective business anymore.

744
00:58:26,085 --> 00:58:28,680
Ask anybody. Ask my father. Shut up.

745
00:58:29,823 --> 00:58:33,089
What's it going to take to convince you guys I'm clean.

746
00:58:33,159 --> 00:58:35,526
Listen, pal, you got big trouble.

747
00:58:35,929 --> 00:58:39,422
You're about to go see one of the most important men in the outfit.

748
00:58:39,499 --> 00:58:43,027
You try this cheap song and dance on him, you know what happens.

749
00:58:43,102 --> 00:58:44,126
No.

750
00:58:44,370 --> 00:58:46,805
He tells me and Mort to take you out somewhere...

751
00:58:46,873 --> 00:58:49,570
and bury you up to your ears in cement.

752
00:58:49,909 --> 00:58:50,909
Well, look...

753
00:58:51,544 --> 00:58:53,604
it's not definite I was out of the business...

754
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,911
but I'm sure thinking about it.

755
00:58:55,982 --> 00:58:58,281
Look, I don't want any trouble, believe me.

756
00:58:58,351 --> 00:59:00,013
Rockford, shut up.

757
00:59:00,186 --> 00:59:02,781
It's a long drive. Don't cluck it up.

758
00:59:03,523 --> 00:59:04,582
Right.

759
01:00:17,506 --> 01:00:19,031
Who's in there?

760
01:00:19,375 --> 01:00:20,604
Shut up.

761
01:00:20,876 --> 01:00:23,505
Be sure and tell him I'm not on a case at the moment...

762
01:00:23,579 --> 01:00:25,548
and I'm thinking about leaving town.

763
01:00:25,615 --> 01:00:26,844
Shut up.

764
01:00:27,183 --> 01:00:30,278
Who's doing your material? It's really monotonous.

765
01:00:30,353 --> 01:00:31,514
Who's doing yours?

766
01:00:31,587 --> 01:00:32,587
I am.

767
01:00:33,055 --> 01:00:34,318
It shows.

768
01:00:55,745 --> 01:00:58,180
All right, Rockford. Get out.

769
01:01:15,965 --> 01:01:18,764
All right, Rockford. We're not going to need you today.

770
01:01:18,834 --> 01:01:21,167
I want you to start walking. That way.

771
01:01:21,737 --> 01:01:24,206
I catch you looking back, I'm going to put a hole through you.

772
01:01:24,273 --> 01:01:25,366
Now, get going.

773
01:01:25,441 --> 01:01:28,673
Maybe someday, when all this is over, you and I can have a beer...

774
01:01:28,744 --> 01:01:31,304
and you can tell me what all this is about.

775
01:01:31,380 --> 01:01:32,439
Bye.

776
01:02:34,877 --> 01:02:37,176
The Federal Building, downtown.

777
01:03:02,252 --> 01:03:03,447
$10.45.

778
01:03:04,554 --> 01:03:06,147
Here. Keep the change.

779
01:03:06,422 --> 01:03:08,823
A $10 tip. What do I got to do for it?

780
01:03:08,892 --> 01:03:10,793
There's a trailer parked by the beach.

781
01:03:10,860 --> 01:03:13,193
2354, Pacific Coast Highway.

782
01:03:13,496 --> 01:03:15,761
I want you to go inside and there you'll find...

783
01:03:15,832 --> 01:03:17,960
a very crotchety old man tied up.

784
01:03:18,034 --> 01:03:19,969
Untie him. You're kidding.

785
01:03:20,036 --> 01:03:21,561
He's my father.

786
01:03:21,638 --> 01:03:23,300
There's a punch line, right?

787
01:03:23,373 --> 01:03:25,808
Whatever you got on the meter, you get from him.

788
01:03:25,875 --> 01:03:27,468
You keep the $10 tip.

789
01:03:27,544 --> 01:03:30,070
Add another $5 and you got a deal.

790
01:03:34,284 --> 01:03:37,379
You and my father are going get along real good.

791
01:03:58,131 --> 01:03:59,895
Sorry to keep you waiting, Rockford.

792
01:03:59,967 --> 01:04:01,595
It's not going to work, Shore.

793
01:04:01,668 --> 01:04:04,502
I'm going to be long gone before he ever gets here.

794
01:04:04,571 --> 01:04:06,369
I don't know what you're talking about.

795
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,306
Now, what can I do for you?

796
01:04:08,942 --> 01:04:11,036
I got picked up again. Kidnapped.

797
01:04:11,111 --> 01:04:13,307
That's the second time in two days.

798
01:04:13,380 --> 01:04:17,476
Now, don't you come down here to bleed on me. I was trying to protect you.

799
01:04:17,551 --> 01:04:19,986
I had you under surveillance and you take off...

800
01:04:20,053 --> 01:04:24,013
like a scalded duck and the LA cops end up busting two of my men.

801
01:04:24,091 --> 01:04:25,650
Those two guys were Feds?

802
01:04:25,726 --> 01:04:26,989
What do you think?

803
01:04:27,060 --> 01:04:28,585
When did you switch to Chryslers?

804
01:04:28,662 --> 01:04:31,564
When the mob switched to gray Chevys.

805
01:04:32,065 --> 01:04:34,466
I just came down here to find out what's going on...

806
01:04:34,534 --> 01:04:36,332
if it isn't too much of an imposition.

807
01:04:36,403 --> 01:04:38,201
You going to testify at Beck's trial?

808
01:04:38,272 --> 01:04:39,763
Are you going to level with me?

809
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:41,604
Sign the complaint and I'll fill you in.

810
01:04:41,675 --> 01:04:44,645
Fill me in and I'll sign the complaint. Maybe.

811
01:04:48,013 --> 01:04:51,450
All right. It's going to be in the papers this afternoon, anyway.

812
01:04:51,683 --> 01:04:53,049
Mark Chalmers is dead.

813
01:04:53,118 --> 01:04:56,316
He was shot last night in his club, after it closed.

814
01:04:56,388 --> 01:04:58,016
He's dead? Yeah.

815
01:04:58,089 --> 01:05:00,854
His name isn't Mark Chalmers. It's Fred Willow.

816
01:05:00,926 --> 01:05:03,395
He used to own a big numbers operation in Newark...

817
01:05:03,461 --> 01:05:05,987
and we sewed him up on a good felony 10 years ago...

818
01:05:06,064 --> 01:05:09,034
when he traded 20 years in the pokey for some key testimony...

819
01:05:09,100 --> 01:05:12,195
that landed five heads of the largest crime organizations in jail.

820
01:05:12,270 --> 01:05:14,136
We agreed to give him a new identity...

821
01:05:14,205 --> 01:05:16,197
and we promised to the best of our ability...

822
01:05:16,274 --> 01:05:17,936
to protect him from the mob.

823
01:05:18,009 --> 01:05:19,773
Obviously, we failed.

824
01:05:19,844 --> 01:05:21,813
And you think he was hit by the mob?

825
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:23,075
It had to be.

826
01:05:23,148 --> 01:05:25,617
We told him not to open the club. I mean, that was stupid.

827
01:05:25,684 --> 01:05:27,915
He should have gone into something with a low profile...

828
01:05:27,986 --> 01:05:30,046
something like beachcombing.

829
01:05:37,362 --> 01:05:40,196
What if it wasn't the mob that killed him?

830
01:05:40,598 --> 01:05:43,500
You know, Rockford, you are beginning to annoy me.

831
01:05:43,935 --> 01:05:47,895
If you want to play G-man, go to Washington and take the course.

832
01:05:48,073 --> 01:05:51,339
That's funny. That's the last thing I'd want to do.

833
01:05:51,743 --> 01:05:53,371
Hold up a second.

834
01:05:54,479 --> 01:05:57,244
It's just not going to work. There's not enough time.

835
01:05:57,315 --> 01:06:00,877
It takes 15 minutes for him to get over here from the county courthouse...

836
01:06:00,952 --> 01:06:03,012
and I've only been here for 10.

837
01:06:03,088 --> 01:06:05,387
Come on, Rockford, you know you can testify.

838
01:06:05,457 --> 01:06:07,653
Against some guy in organized crime?

839
01:06:07,726 --> 01:06:09,820
Come on. They kill people.

840
01:06:10,462 --> 01:06:12,124
We'll protect you.

841
01:06:12,297 --> 01:06:14,857
What did you say Chalmers' real name was?

842
01:06:14,933 --> 01:06:17,334
Fred Willow. He was a nice fellow.

843
01:06:34,419 --> 01:06:37,321
Are you the U.S. marshal with the subpoena for Rockford?

844
01:06:37,389 --> 01:06:39,221
Yeah. He's still up there, isn't he?

845
01:06:39,290 --> 01:06:42,158
You bet. Shore's got him locked in a room. You better hurry.

846
01:06:42,227 --> 01:06:43,695
Thanks a lot.

847
01:07:10,894 --> 01:07:12,362
Hello, Rocky.

848
01:07:12,762 --> 01:07:15,095
I see he got to you, all right.

849
01:07:15,165 --> 01:07:16,565
He got to me, all right.

850
01:07:16,633 --> 01:07:19,262
Plus a $10 meter fee. Plus a tip.

851
01:07:19,369 --> 01:07:20,632
You tipped him?

852
01:07:20,703 --> 01:07:22,433
The guy came all the way over here...

853
01:07:22,505 --> 01:07:24,030
on his own hook and cut me free...

854
01:07:24,107 --> 01:07:25,302
and I don't tip him?

855
01:07:25,375 --> 01:07:26,843
I tipped him.

856
01:07:26,910 --> 01:07:30,278
What am I supposed to do? Write you a thank-you note?

857
01:07:31,781 --> 01:07:33,511
What are you doing?

858
01:07:36,361 --> 01:07:37,522
Hello.

859
01:07:37,596 --> 01:07:39,895
Mr. Jameson, it's Jim Rockford.

860
01:07:39,998 --> 01:07:41,364
Yes, what is it?

861
01:07:41,433 --> 01:07:43,629
I thought you should know...

862
01:07:44,369 --> 01:07:46,235
Mark Chalmers is dead.

863
01:07:46,638 --> 01:07:48,504
I heard about it on the radio.

864
01:07:48,574 --> 01:07:50,600
Some kind of a gang thing, I think they said.

865
01:07:50,676 --> 01:07:52,269
It wasn't a gang killing.

866
01:07:52,344 --> 01:07:53,437
You seem sure.

867
01:07:53,512 --> 01:07:54,512
I am.

868
01:07:54,646 --> 01:07:57,616
I was picked up by the gang after it happened.

869
01:07:57,983 --> 01:08:00,009
They were still interested to find out...

870
01:08:00,085 --> 01:08:01,314
whether I knew where he was...

871
01:08:01,386 --> 01:08:02,752
so they couldn't have done it.

872
01:08:02,821 --> 01:08:04,312
That doesn't make any sense.

873
01:08:04,389 --> 01:08:06,551
Sure, it does, if you stop and think about it.

874
01:08:06,625 --> 01:08:08,617
Well, who did kill Mark Chalmers?

875
01:08:10,429 --> 01:08:13,422
I think it was your daughter that killed him.

876
01:08:17,669 --> 01:08:21,231
Perhaps we'd better get together and discuss this.

877
01:08:21,306 --> 01:08:23,036
Yeah, I thought so.

878
01:08:23,575 --> 01:08:26,044
I'll be over at your place, say 20 minutes.

879
01:08:26,111 --> 01:08:27,511
No, not here.

880
01:08:27,913 --> 01:08:30,781
I'll meet you at the country house in an hour.

881
01:08:30,849 --> 01:08:31,849
All right, fine.

882
01:08:31,917 --> 01:08:32,917
All right.

883
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,128
My daughter didn't kill him.

884
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,832
Yeah, I know. I lied to you.

885
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,731
I talked to Susan before I came up here.

886
01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:01,400
They were...

887
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,595
going to run away together.

888
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,401
I simply couldn't let that happen.

889
01:11:26,200 --> 01:11:29,398
I got him a great attorney. He flew in from Texas.

890
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,731
But I don't know what good it's going to do.

891
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,401
You know, I've tried to hate him for what he did to Mark...

892
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,492
but I can't. He's my father.

893
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,060
You seem to be holding up.

894
01:11:41,061 --> 01:11:42,222
I always hold up.

895
01:11:42,224 --> 01:11:44,159
It's one of my best qualities.

896
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:47,153
It's just the first two weeks that were the worst.

897
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:00,060
Where would you like to go?

898
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,229
Somewhere where they don't sell tacos.

899
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,866
I know just the place.

900
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,902
You know, I just don't even want to talk about it anymore.

901
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,435
I can't believe the way people have been.

902
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,095
I feel like I'm watching my life on a soap opera.

903
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,992
I mean, I know they mean well...

904
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,492
but I'm just tired of the handwringing.

905
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:35,094
Maybe that's why I like being with you so much.

906
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,834
You don't act as if I'm about to come unraveled at any moment.

907
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,469
That's because you're not going to.

908
01:13:12,000 --> 01:13:13,662
Now, who are they?

909
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,000
What?

910
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,437
Don't they know I haven't been on a case in two weeks?

911
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:32,936
I've had just about all of this I can stand.

912
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,263
All right, what do you want?

913
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,400
Marshal's Office.

914
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,935
You've been subpoenaed to appear in court...

915
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,299
on December 23, Federal Court Building...

916
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,300
to testify in the kidnapping trial of Torrance Beck.

917
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,231
Agent Shore says to say hello.

918
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,993
Come on, you guys. Give me a break, will you?
