Original subtitles

Well, I'm not the kind to kiss and tell, but I've been seen with Farrah.

I've never been with anything less than a nine, so fine.

I've been on fire with Sally Field, gone fast with a girl named Bo.

But somehow they just don't end up as mine.

It's a death, goodbye, and life I leave.

I take my chances.

I die for living in the movies and TV.

But the hardest thing I ever do is watch my leading

ladies kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee.

I might fall from a tall building.

I might roll a brand new car.

Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that made Redford such a star.

I've never spent much time in school, but I've taught ladies plenty.

It's true, I hire my body out the bay.

Hey, hey, I've gotten burned over Cheryl Teague's blowin' up for Rocky Welch.

But when I wind up in the hay, it's only hay.

Hey, hey, I might jump an open drawbridge or Tarzan from a vine.

Cause I'm the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine.

Last call for the North Coast Special.

Parting track number five.

All aboard, please.

Commuter Special for Mission Hills, Palo Alto, San Diego.

All aboard.

Welcome to L.A.

You're makin' a mistake, man.

Oh, no, Teddy Simms, armed robbery, bail jumper.

Ah, my arm.

At least you broke my arm.

Well, there's the hospital and the jail.

Got a big one.

I know.

American Sportsman.

That's better.

Got another one.

Hey, what's all that?

Oh, well, there's more in the truck, but we got a couple of

cases of champagne, some beer, a little tequila, we got a ham.

We're gonna have a good party.

Well, what happened to the taco chips and the bean dipping?

Everybody bring their own.

That was before I started thinking.

Here.

You know, there's such a thing as too much thinking, you know.

This is expensive beer.

Yeah.

Oh, come on, Cole.

Five Gs you made picking up Sims only took one hour.

You got a busted nose and a fat lip.

Well, look, this will only cost 500.

Yeah, anyway, the party just started to grow.

I invited a cast.

Cast.

And a crew.

Crew.

And the Teamsters.

Teamsters.

Look, I know it's a lot of people and it might be a little bit expensive,

but this party is destined to become a legend in its own time.

Oh, I know the legend.

Colt Seavers broke again, but he threw a heck of a party.

Oh, relax.

Here comes the green.

Hi.

Hi.

Okay, Colt.

Joke's over.

Where is he?

Well, I don't know who you're talking about, but he'll be along soon.

They invited everybody in town.

Oh, very funny.

Very funny.

You know who I'm talking about.

Teddy Sims?

He's in custody.

Not according to the police.

He's not.

Now, hold on.

I took him to county general myself.

I turned him over to the cop at the booking precinct.

Colt, there's absolutely no record of that.

That's impossible.

Colt, all I know is that Teddy Sims has disappeared without a trace, and along

with him goes your $5,000 and my bail money.

Wait a minute.

How did I go from $5,000 ahead to $500 behind so fast?

Well, maybe it's your karma.

Well, it's not my karma I'm worried about.

It's my bank account.

It's killing me.

What does it?

The party is over.

Aw.

Well, why?

Give me a towel.

Why?

Because I got to go find the cop that I turned Teddy Sims over to.

You dummy.

Club soda, please.

Excuse me.

You'd like a what?

Club soda.

Club soda.

Coming right up.

Hope to sail without you.

I beg your pardon?

Nothing.

Could I interest you in buying me a drink?

Sure, if you're drinking club soda.

You're either a health nut or you're broke.

Try healthy and broke.

I'll buy scotch.

I'll buy scotch?

Why?

I don't know.

Maybe it's your square jaw or the look in your eyes.

Two scotches.

You know, I'd like your taste of men, but I

got a feeling something else is going on here.

And why?

Why?

It's just that you dress like Vogue and you talk like Playgirl.

That combination doesn't say typical, Barb.

Pick up.

Oh, by the way, he isn't coming.

All right.

Would you run that by again?

The police officer that you delivered Teddy Sims to?

He isn't coming.

Well, how'd you...

Who are you?

Eve Peterson.

State Crime Commission.

Cheers.

State...

Mr. Sievers, watch the screen closely.

You recognize him?

Teddy Sims.

He's an informer for the grand jury.

We learned that somebody's about to pull something

big, and Teddy was supposed to be our inside man.

They contracted him to be their driver.

So I was fishing in state waters?

That's right.

The big, strong bounty hunter put our key man out of commission.

Look, I was just doing my job, huh?

No hard feelings?

That's their gunman.

He's a punk called Tyler.

And that is Al Pines.

He's their local contact.

Sims talks to Al, Al talks to Mr. Big, and that's our problem.

We don't know who Mr. Big is.

Uh, Mr. Sievers, I believe you know Agent Roberts?

Nice punch, Sievers.

Any questions?

Just one.

Why are you telling me about all this?

Because you're gonna put us back in the business by taking Sims' place.

You're gonna find out what the job is, when it comes down, and most importantly,

who's behind it.

Look, I hate to throw a monkey wrench into your operation, but, uh...

What did you say?

You're gonna take Sims' place.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Sims and I don't look anything alike.

Come on.

Doesn't matter.

They bought Sims sight unseen from his reputation back east.

You could take his place and nobody will know the difference.

Why me?

Because I had you checked out.

I know everything about you, from your pulse rate down to

the fact that you are the best stunt driver in the business.

And we need a driver, so how about it?

Pass.

Mr. Sievers, three years of our lives have gone into this investigation.

It's major.

These people are parasites, and you can help us get them.

Now, do I have to throw in God bless America and the flag and a slice of apple pie?

Look, I'm sorry I can't help you, but I got other obligations, okay?

I was really hoping it wouldn't get down to this.

Down to what?

Your friend Terry Michaels' bail bonds license.

You'd put Terry out of business?

I'd use every bit of leverage I have.

And it's considerable.

You know, I always liked a lady with scruples.

All right already.

I'll be your main contact.

We'll use Roberts for a backup.

I'll meet you every day at Heights Park for your report.

I can hardly wait.

Who are you?

What do you want?

Teddy Sims, uh, cars.

What's the password?

Wow.

Didn't know there was one.

Nah, man, just a joke.

Come on in.

I'm Tyler.

You can meet the guys later.

What are they up to?

In this job, Sims, no questions.

Dig?

Yeah, I dig.

Out?

What do you mean you wanna go out?

Out where?

Out anywhere.

I wanna get some fresh air.

This place smells like a warehouse.

It is a warehouse.

Yeah, well, you think Edwards could afford more of a... Shut up.

Your mouth is bigger than your brain.

Al, please, let's not fight anymore.

All I wanna do is take a walk.

You're staying right here.

And quit filling your head with all this garbage.

Thanks.

At a place like this, you need a few fantasies.

Maybe you'd like to read this when I'm through?

Oh, I think I'll wait and see the movie.

Let's move it.

Stay away from her, man.

Al's as jealous as a snake's deadly.

Don't get me around her.

Find out whatever you can and get back to me.

Al, this is Teddy Sims.

Well, you got a big rep.

Can you deliver?

Oh, I can take care of my end.

See that you do.

And make sure you're worth all that money.

Oh, I'm sure.

When does it all happen?

When I say so.

You just keep in touch.

Every day.

You won't have any trouble if you follow the three golden rules.

Do everything he says.

Don't ask questions.

And most important of all, stay far away from Molly.

There's three.

Where are we going?

You're going back inside.

You're afraid of Al.

Look, I'm here to do my job.

That's all.

Well, I guess I misjudged you.

Sims!

Your life is over!

Will he shoot?

Yep.

Hang on.

Do you hear me?

Al's right behind us.

Is he a good driver?

I don't know.

He's got a license.

Maybe I should stop and reason with him.

Hard to do with a bullet in your head.

Fucking crazy, Al!

Does he seem calmed down?

Yeah, like a beehive.

I think we got rid of him.

He's like acne.

You stupid jerk!

Why don't you watch where you're going?

I should blow your brains out!

Why are you going back?

Because I still want to do the job I came here to do.

Oh, he's really gonna be mad now.

Molly, you be real nice to him.

Why should I?

Because he's still got a gun.

Molly, go on.

What do I say?

Tell him how innocent we are.

Huh.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hey, all we wanted was some fresh air, and you come waving that gun at us.

So you mean that...

there's nothing going on between you and Simms?

It's only us.

Oh.

So sometimes my rockets go off like that.

You know, that's the way I am.

There's no harm done here.

It's okay.

You know, you give a good nod.

I brought you some hot chocolate.

It's cold.

Did you ever hear the name Edwards before?

Why?

It was dropped at the warehouse.

Well, there's Selwyn Edwards.

He's one of our suspects.

But we've never been able to pin anything on him.

No?

Why not?

Because he's very smart.

He used to be a lawyer for the mob before he was disbarred.

We're gonna have to have some very tight evidence on that guy before we bring him in.

Edwards has a very high profile.

He gives one party one right after the other.

No visible means of support.

Maybe somebody ought to go to one of these parties and look around.

Yeah, but you don't exactly walk into an Edwards affair.

Not unless your name's on the A-list.

No, no, no.

Not as a guest.

As the caterer.

You know, Edwards loves French food.

Can your friend cook?

He took a course in it.

French accent?

He took a course in that, too.

But can you trust him?

With your life.

Monsieur, I am Michel, your chef.

It is a bon plaisir for me to cater your affair.

May I present my assistant, Miss Banks.

Oh, nice to meet you, Mr. Edwards.

Well, call me Selwyn.

Alors, to commence the diner, we have the baby quicholettes baked within a crust of

sublime flakiness with the consistency of divine perfection.

Yes, well, I must uphold my reputation as a host.

Hors!

Neuf raffiais pour le main course.

We have the poulet bourdoulaise.

These fowls have been hand-plucked.

You say in English, hand-plucked?

Hand-plucked by Madame Rose.

Ah, Michel, can we go set up?

Ah, we also have a superbe Médoc, a saffron tea tree, a château.

Tell me, are you serving the dessert?

Yes.

Or are you the dessert?

Michel, can we go set up?

Ah, the coup de gras dessert.

Caramel crème brûlée du maximum sourd.

Oh, my, I could gain five pounds just listening to you.

Yeah, food is his passion.

Well, we all have our passions.

Le plaisir a servi, messieurs.

Excuse me.

Howie, don't talk so much.

The accent's not that good.

What, are you kidding?

Olivier couldn't do better.

Anyway, a French chef is supposed to be a little eccentric.

Don't worry, just be yourself.

You won't miss.

This is it.

Get him in here.

Ah, go on in the office.

You too, right away.

Hey, I think it's on.

Hope so.

Almost.

Looks like a bust.

Yeah, so it's coming down, huh?

Golden rule number two, Sims.

Remember?

Ah, no questions.

Come on.

Hello, am I coming through?

Hello.

Hello, am I coming through?

Yes, I hear you.

Everything ready, Al?

Yes, Mr. Edwards, I'm just about to fill the boys in.

Gentlemen, you have my best wishes.

Thank you, sir.

No, no, no, no, mon amour.

One does not use the cartilages with the caviar.

A little lemon?

Oui.

Mais...

Not as a cocktail sauce.

You seen someone yet?

In the Chinese hallway.

Don't take any chances.

I'll keep an eye on these freeloaders.

Right here is the Capital Armored Transport Company.

They've got over five million dollars worth.

Of negotiable government bonds.

And they're safe.

Sims here is going to drive Tyler and me inside.

Tyler and me are going to do the same.

Once we're out, we follow the plan and the routine on these maps.

Any questions?

When is all this coming down?

Right now.

You sure don't give much notice.

It's the wrong night for a date, Sims.

Yeah, it looks like it.

If she loves you, she'll wait.

Nobody likes to make promises they can't keep.

But she'll wait.

No phone calls till after the job.

That goes for everybody.

I guess you guys heard that, huh?

Roberts, we haven't had any word from Colt.

Well, he's got to let us know when it's going down.

Or he's in it alone.

Which means he'll probably be dead.

I'm glad you hung up the phone, Sims.

Al would just as soon shoot his talk.

How did you get mixed up with that character?

Thank you.

Well, I come from this small town.

The big excitement is watching the tumbleweed blow around.

One day Al drove through town, and when he left, I was with him.

I make mistakes like that all the time.

Sounds like you want to split.

Well, I've done a lot of running in my life.

From one place to another.

Drifting with the wind.

Like the tumbleweed?

That's me.

Anyway, this time's different.

I'm scared.

I've never been scared before.

We all get scared at one time or another.

Yeah, but when I'm around you, though, I feel kind of safe.

That's dangerous talk, Molly.

Maybe.

After this job, you're leaving.

You ask.

I'll ride with you.

But you don't know anything about me.

I don't care.

You're a good guy.

A person can tell.

That's why Al's got it against you.

All right, if you want to go along, okay.

But we'll just have to trust each other.

I swear, you can trust me.

All right.

When we leave, call this number.

Tell the person who answers where we're heading, okay?

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

Just remember, that's a loaded pistol.

I wouldn't let you down.

Okay, Sims.

Blast off.

You're going with us.

How come?

Because I said so.

But you said that I was going to wait here.

So I changed my mind.

What's wrong with you?

You're always yelling about wanting fresh air.

So I'm a generous guy.

You want fresh air?

Come on.

I'm going to give you some fresh air.

Move out.

See you at 3rd and Vermont.

Okay, we got Woodley covered.

Chuck, do you have the map?

Roger.

Any word from Seavers?

No, and I haven't seen Edwards.

I have a hunch that tonight's the night.

Then Seavers better call if he can.

If he can't, it's over for him.

So what's happening?

Nothing so far.

Hey, I can see right into the ballroom of Edwards' house.

Is that shift on our side, Roberts?

That's what they tell me.

Man, are we in trouble.

Ah, you gentlemen comfortable?

Very.

Thanks.

We appreciate your help, Mr. Fannin.

Nonsense.

I see it as my duty.

Besides, I haven't had this much action for years.

Thought you might like some refreshments.

Ah, you shouldn't have.

Ah, the boys should see us now.

You have a good inside man.

No alarm on the gates.

What do you know about this two-way radio?

Well, it's not a two-way radio.

You can't call out.

That's great.

By the way, thanks for trying to keep your promise.

Surprised?

Not really.

Mr. Selwyn, this is Jackson.

They're inside, all clear.

Five million in bonds.

Move it!

Al's got the bonds and he's gone.

The guy crushed my hat.

If you get the gate, I'll reset the alarm.

Guess we can't do anything, huh?

Well, we can always do something.

You lousy fiend!

I'm gonna walk and talk to you.

All right, listen up, everybody.

Sims just took off with the bonds.

You heard me.

Car number two, come and pick us up.

The rest of you get after him.

Do whatever you have to do, but get him!

Al, stop him.

Get those bonds.

And then kill him.

You heard what Edward said.

Kill Sims.

Put the gumballs on.

We don't want anyone in our way.

Cut him off at Vermont.

Put the pedal down.

Sims has our bread.

We're on Sims' tail.

I got him.

We'll cut him off at Vermont.

I'm moving in from Fourth Street.

We're closing.

South on Six.

You'll never get out of the trap.

We just did.

We're gonna crash!

I hate realists.

Where's the other cars?

He drives like my father.

What was his name, Andretti?

No, but he thought it was.

Get alongside.

Knock him off.

I bet your family was a lot of fun, Molly.

He's going east on Seventh, near Broadway.

It's about time.

Let's head out.

Seventh and Broadway.

Move.

Mr. Edwards, we're on it.

Get my bonds, Al, or you're next in the noose.

We'll get them.

He calls it his money.

Oh, is it yours?

It's government money.

You're a cop.

Not exactly.

Oh, well, now I'm really confused.

Remember what Benny Davis said?

What?

Buckle your seatbelts.

It's gonna be a bumpy night.

Anything?

Yeah, they've got some radio set up inside someone's room,

and I heard a voice say they're inside and all clear.

What?

That means it's going down right now.

I know.

We gotta get back inside that room.

Not we.

Me.

Take care of King Kong over there.

Looks like we've picked up another virus.

Let's give him a little surprise.

That car's got rockets underneath.

Sir.

What makes you say that?

You're not stopping to admire it!

Her

car up from the right side.

I'll take the left.

We just looked through a miracle.

Oh, we need her five more.

Where are you going?

The wrong way.

He's heading into the garage.

We've got him trapped in the garage.

Did you hear that?

We're trapped.

Don't believe everything you hear on the radio.

Now, two, four, six.

We're all on him.

He can't get away.

Our

relationship's been so brief.

Are you giving up?

That's three cars out there.

Do you know what our odds are?

Where there's odds, there's hope.

You're nuts, Sims.

Name's Seavers.

Yeah, well, you're still nuts.

How do you feel, better?

Only two left on our tail.

Yeah.

Both killers.

Optimist, huh?

Hang in there, kid.

By what?

We're still alive!

We're just getting started.

I don't know about you, but my whole life was flashing before my very eyes.

Well, I have to keep mine on the road.

This is car six.

I'm totaled.

You've

done this before.

Only for friends.

You ready to make that call for me?

Oh, where's the phone?

I'll get you to one.

Anyone seen him?

There's the phone.

Tell him to meet us at the 5th Street Junkyard.

Uh, do you got a dime?

Here's a quarter.

Keep the change.

Big spender.

I'll be right back, Molly.

Be careful.

Colt, drive carefully.

I never break the speed limit.

I think we lost him, Mr. Edwards.

Think?

I don't ask you to think.

I want action.

If you don't get me my bonds, there's going to be hell to pay.

Do you understand?

There's no way Sims can unload those bonds without a plan.

I can't figure out his angle.

Max, when this operation is over, I want you to get rid of Al.

He makes me sick.

Yeah, he said his name was Seavers.

And he'd meet you at the 5th Street Junkyard.

What time?

Late.

He had ten guys on his tail.

He wasn't exactly concerned with the time.

All right, I'll be there.

Good.

Because he's one heck of a guy.

He has to be here.

I hope you're right.

Yeah.

So do I.

Hey, Chef.

You've got my heart to leap out and attack me.

Better go see Mr. Edwards, pal.

That's exactly what I wanted.

You must be clairvoyant, eh?

Sure.

And you're snooping.

Come on.

Mr. Edwards?

Edwards?

I found him in the hall trying to listen in.

Mr. Edwards, you are the host, and you have not

tasted even a morsel of my poulet bordelaise.

Poulet bordelaise.

Oui.

Michel, what do you call this?

Poulet bordelaise.

Curious.

I enjoy French cooking.

And this is not a bordelaise.

It's berenice.

Oh, menor!

Who are you?

I'm Michel.

Michel, the new wave chef.

Max.

Out with it.

How he muds it.

Get his assistant.

There he is.

Mr. Edwards, we got him cornered, sir.

Oh, what the...

Let's get him.

Hey, watch it.

I'm gonna report this to the caterers.

Nurse Banks.

A man named Sims just stole five million dollars in bonds from me.

Unless you tell me the whole story, your friend here, the French chef, is dead.

Um, what story?

Of how the three of you are in this together.

Oh, Mr. Edwards, I... That's absolutely right.

Howie!

The pretense is over.

Let me talk to her.

Very wise of you, my friend.

Oh, what can we do?

You made it!

You gotta have faith.

Come on, kid.

Edwards.

If you ever want to see any of that money again,

you better hope we live to a ripe old age.

Because if you touch so much Sahara on either of these

two heads, you can wave bye -bye to the big bucks.

Sims, is that close to you?

Partners.

Good.

Tie them up.

Perhaps we can negotiate with Mr. Sims.

Max.

Let's go.

Max.

Where there are two rats, there may be more.

Get the car.

We'll leave through the basement.

I can't take the chance of their having this house under surveillance.

Very good, sir.

We'll be right back.

Colt, even in a junkyard, three's a crowd.

Molly, would you excuse us a minute?

Where have you been?

Working for you, remember?

And now I'm out.

Gone.

Goodbye.

Uh-oh.

We're in trouble.

What is it?

Haven't seen our friend for the past ten minutes.

I say we go in.

Sims, I know you can hear me.

If you want to talk back, just pull out the microphone plug.

Put it back in upside down.

It reverses the polarity.

Okay, go ahead.

Oh, and by the way, Sims, your friends Howie and Jody are my very special guests.

Howie and Jody?

I've never heard of them.

It's all right, Sims.

I told them everything.

Everything?

It worked out just the way you planned.

We're in the driver's seat, Sims.

Edwards is ready to deal.

What is he talking about?

Well, Sims, I'm waiting.

Let him go.

We'll split right down the middle.

No deal.

I want all those bonds.

Five million dollars' worth.

When I get them, you get your partners.

Understood?

What guarantee are you giving?

My word.

Well, so I lose two partners and keep it all.

Big deal.

All right.

We split.

Fifty-fifty.

Be sure the bonds are with you.

You have my word.

Where does it all come down?

Franklin Reservoir.

Okay.

Be there in half an hour.

Make it an hour.

It'll take me that long to get there.

Forty-five minutes.

I've got the whole place covered, Sims.

There's only one road in.

If you bring any guests, you'll be attending a dinner.

A double funeral.

You got that?

I got it.

Max, make sure our men are up on Mulholland Drive.

John, Philip, meet us up on Mulholland.

He'll be there.

He'll be able to see everything approaching for five miles.

It's a nice piece of work we can nail Edwards there.

Yeah, well, not we.

Me.

I'm not wrecking my friends' lives.

Cold.

You realize when you give him those bonds, he's going to kill all of you.

I'm counting on his greed.

He won't do anything until this transaction's over.

We'll just have to play this one out by my rules.

You know, I'm sorry we didn't get to know each other better.

I have a feeling that, uh, you could have been a lot of fun.

You know, I think I just remembered where I've seen you before.

Really?

Where?

In a nightmare.

It looks like a lawnmower.

And it sounds like one, but it can go pretty fast and it can glide silently.

Well, it's more of an improvement on the Wright brothers.

It's called an ultralight.

They're using it in a stunt next week.

It's all very nice, but what are you going to do with it?

Pay a little surprise visit on our friends.

You think it'll work?

I hope so.

Paid for a round-trip ticket.

Figure it out.

Good luck.

Anyone coming up here is going to have to get past us to get to the boss.

All clear?

Yeah, it's all clear.

Come on out, Sims.

I can look at you.

I don't ever want to forget your face.

What the...?

Told you Sims wouldn't let us down.

It's terrific.

What a deal, huh?

Good to see you, Sims.

He's clean.

Where are the Bonds?

In the back seat.

Get them, Max.

They'd better be there.

They're there, Edwards.

I don't think so.

KEN LOCKWOOD Do you hear something?

Can't stand these damn Knights.

Where are the

rest of these Bonds?

You're all dead.

Drop your weapons.

You're surrounded.

They're dead.

Oh, stop.

Oh, stop.

Like I said, you were surrounded.

Just couldn't resist your bait.

Hi.

Hi.

I thought I'd come by and say goodbye.

Where to now?

Well, first I give state's evidence.

Then they give me a new identity and a new life.

Do you think I'll make it this time?

With flying colors.

Well, thanks, Colt.

Thank you.

For everything.

Uh, something bothering you?

Well, I was going to be in town for another couple of days.

I was thinking maybe, uh, dinner?

Oh, I make it a habit only to eat with honest friends who can let their hair down.

Oh, I can let my hair down.

How's one out of two?

Well, I do know a nice, quiet, Chinese restaurant.

Do you?

Mm-hmm.

Um...

Me?

Well, I figure I owe you a farewell dinner to get you started on your new life.

Happy fishing.

Thank you.
