I could tell by her voice.
I asked her what it was,

she's not answering her phone or she's not there.

I'm a little short on sympathy.

who don't believe in signs.
172
00:11:47,873 --> 00:11:51,331
They found the wreck,
called it in. Body is still in the car.
173
00:11:51,410 --> 00:11:54,709
She must have really
been traveling to end up that far in the water.
174
00:11:54,780 --> 00:11:55,940
Accident?
175
00:11:56,015 --> 00:11:57,107
Could be.
176
00:11:57,183 --> 00:11:59,344
We gotta check the car
for mechanical trouble,
177
00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:01,579
check the body for alcohol.
178
00:12:02,054 --> 00:12:04,682
We need Beth
to verify identification.
179
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:06,347
You'll tell her.
180
00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:07,551
Yeah.
181
00:12:08,761 --> 00:12:10,490
Yeah, I'll tell her.
182
00:12:11,097 --> 00:12:12,655
See you.
183
00:12:29,648 --> 00:12:32,014
BETH: So she's in
the county refrigerator with a tag on her big toe,
184
00:12:32,084 --> 00:12:33,312
and that's the end of it?
185
00:12:34,887 --> 00:12:36,752
Why don't the police
do something?
186
00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:39,848
Come on. The police don't buy
the coroner's report any more than I do.
187
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,723
Two frantic telephone calls,
her apartment ransacked,
188
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:45,423
and she accidentally ends up
in 20 feet of water.
189
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:47,625
Now, for now they're just
throwing a blanket over it
190
00:12:47,700 --> 00:12:49,691
and calling it an accident,
or suicide.
191
00:12:49,769 --> 00:12:51,134
Margo would never have
killed herself.
192
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:52,864
I said "for now."
193
00:12:53,272 --> 00:12:55,263
They're gonna be
chewing around the edges of this thing
194
00:12:55,341 --> 00:12:58,208
until they end up
calling it murder, if they haven't already.
195
00:12:58,277 --> 00:12:59,710
I wanna know
who killed her.
196
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:00,837
Well, give them
a little time.
197
00:13:00,913 --> 00:13:02,039
I wanna know now.
198
00:13:02,114 --> 00:13:05,572
Beth, the cops are on it.
That makes it an open case.
199
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:07,846
They're not gonna
pull your ticket for asking a few questions.
200
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,046
I'd like to
help you, but...
201
00:13:09,121 --> 00:13:10,110
Okay.
202
00:13:10,256 --> 00:13:13,885
If the department gives you
any kind of flak, you get my legal services for free.
203
00:13:13,959 --> 00:13:17,156
Now would I offer that
if I thought you had a chance of taking me up on it?
204
00:13:18,430 --> 00:13:19,863
Please, Jim.
205
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,898
All right.
I'll ask a few questions.
206
00:13:50,396 --> 00:13:51,863
Mr. Rockford.
207
00:13:52,398 --> 00:13:54,491
Miss Clarke didn't want to
see you this morning,
208
00:13:54,567 --> 00:13:56,694
she doesn't want to
see you this afternoon.
209
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:59,397
Well, I have some information
I think she'll want to hear.
210
00:13:59,471 --> 00:14:00,563
I doubt it.
211
00:14:01,407 --> 00:14:02,465
Is she in her office?
212
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:05,533
It's really academic,
Mr. Rockford, because you're not gonna see her.
213
00:14:05,611 --> 00:14:06,771
(INTERCOM BUZZING)
214
00:14:06,846 --> 00:14:07,904
Yes, Miss Clarke.
215
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:10,073
Did you trythe New York call?
216
00:14:10,149 --> 00:14:11,138
You can't go in there.
217
00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:12,275
What?
218
00:14:12,351 --> 00:14:13,841
You can't go in there!
Millie?
219
00:14:13,919 --> 00:14:14,977
Stop!
220
00:14:15,054 --> 00:14:16,043
What is going on?
221
00:14:16,121 --> 00:14:17,247
Now sign that
in two places. Yes?
222
00:14:17,323 --> 00:14:19,052
I'm sorry, Miss Clarke.
I tried to stop him.
223
00:14:19,124 --> 00:14:20,113
Well, who is he?
224
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:21,386
That's all right, Millie.
Bob, call the police!
225
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:22,449
What?
226
00:14:22,528 --> 00:14:23,859
Margo Adams is dead.
227
00:14:34,139 --> 00:14:35,538
Well, that was pretty blunt.
228
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:37,269
Miss Clarke has
so little time.
229
00:14:43,182 --> 00:14:45,150
You all right, Adrienne?
230
00:14:45,484 --> 00:14:46,610
Yeah.
231
00:14:47,019 --> 00:14:49,453
All right.
You're very dramatic and more than a little brutal.
232
00:14:49,521 --> 00:14:50,783
Now why don't you
get out of here?
233
00:14:50,856 --> 00:14:53,290
No. I wanna know
what's going on.
234
00:14:55,327 --> 00:14:57,261
That'll be all, Millie.
235
00:14:57,329 --> 00:14:59,593
It's all right, Millie.
It's all right.
236
00:15:03,869 --> 00:15:05,336
Mr. Rockford.
237
00:15:06,372 --> 00:15:09,000
Margo and her car
were fished out of a reservoir
238
00:15:09,074 --> 00:15:11,406
about an hour
after I talked to you this morning.
239
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:14,745
Time of death
was late last night.
240
00:15:14,813 --> 00:15:17,976
I'm sorry.
I'm honestly very sorry.
241
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:21,685
Is there anything
I can do to help?
242
00:15:21,887 --> 00:15:23,718
Well, you might answer
some of the questions
243
00:15:23,789 --> 00:15:26,257
that we didn't
get around to this morning.
244
00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:28,120
Of course.
245
00:15:28,727 --> 00:15:31,321
Well, there's not very much
I can tell you.
246
00:15:31,397 --> 00:15:34,764
I didn't know Margo well.
In fact, I don't suppose I knew her at all.
247
00:15:34,867 --> 00:15:37,427
She was an employee.
She did her job, and she did it well.
248
00:15:37,503 --> 00:15:39,664
Didn't you know anything
about her personal life?
249
00:15:39,738 --> 00:15:40,966
Nothing.
250
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:43,201
And Mister...
251
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:46,369
Oh, this is Bob Coleman.
He's a friend and business associate.
252
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:48,572
Mr. Coleman, what do you know?
253
00:15:48,981 --> 00:15:52,178
I knew most of the girls
around here by sight. Beyond that, nothing.
254
00:15:52,251 --> 00:15:54,913
I suppose I shouldn't have
said those things about her today,
255
00:15:54,987 --> 00:15:57,512
but I was upset,
worried about the show.
256
00:15:57,589 --> 00:15:59,079
There was nothing
you could have done about it.
257
00:15:59,158 --> 00:16:02,218
Now why don't you
take it easy. Go get some rest, huh?
258
00:16:02,294 --> 00:16:05,195
Would you mind if I talked
to some of the other models?
259
00:16:05,264 --> 00:16:07,357
Well, not today.
They've got a show.
260
00:16:07,433 --> 00:16:08,764
Maybe we should postpone it.
261
00:16:08,834 --> 00:16:10,893
Let him postpone
the questions.
262
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:13,495
I mean, the girl is dead.
There's nothing we can do about that.
263
00:16:13,572 --> 00:16:15,631
Now 24 hours isn't gonna
make a lot of difference.
264
00:16:15,708 --> 00:16:17,141
Business as usual.
265
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:18,699
Well, of course.
266
00:16:20,179 --> 00:16:21,771
I'll be back tomorrow.
267
00:16:32,458 --> 00:16:33,925
Are you all right?
268
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:38,392
Yeah, well,
an accident like that's pretty hard to accept.
269
00:16:38,464 --> 00:16:40,557
Miss Clarke's pretty upset,
270
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:43,901
but Coleman's taking it well.
Course, he didn't know her.
271
00:16:43,969 --> 00:16:47,564
He knew her,
in the biblical sense of the word.
272
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:52,608
Oh, I just got the impression
that Coleman and Adrienne Clarke were close.
273
00:16:52,678 --> 00:16:55,511
Does she know about
his relationship with Margo?
274
00:16:55,581 --> 00:16:59,142
I've said too much already.
If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do.
275
00:17:02,354 --> 00:17:05,517
"The quick brown fox..."
276
00:17:13,499 --> 00:17:17,629
Hey, I always
keep my sources confidential.
277
00:18:52,030 --> 00:18:53,395
What the...
278
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:57,260
Oh, you sure have a talent
for being where you're not wanted.
279
00:18:57,336 --> 00:18:58,530
Where did you get my address?
280
00:18:58,604 --> 00:18:59,798
The phone book.
281
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:01,635
All right.
Well, get your car out of here.
282
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:02,765
It'll take a minute.
283
00:19:02,841 --> 00:19:04,206
Get it out!
284
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:06,403
That's okay.
It's just a courtesy call, anyway.
285
00:19:06,478 --> 00:19:10,778
I thought you might want
to explain why you claimed not to know Margo Adams when,
286
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:13,177
in fact, you were
having an affair with her.
287
00:19:13,252 --> 00:19:17,586
But Miss Clarke's
being very cooperative. She'll fill me in.
288
00:19:23,795 --> 00:19:26,525
You say one word
about that to Adrienne,
289
00:19:26,832 --> 00:19:29,392
and they'll be scraping you up
in six counties.
290
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:33,734
Six? Why not just
one neat little package like Margo?
291
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:41,778
I don't know what you're
trying to imply, but I'll tell you one thing.
292
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,145
I don't know anything
about Margo's accident,
293
00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:46,446
but I'm sure gonna
know about yours.
294
00:19:47,419 --> 00:19:49,785
Well, before you take a bite
out of something,
295
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:52,915
you make sure it's something
that won't bite you back.
296
00:19:53,325 --> 00:19:54,519
Really?
297
00:19:59,598 --> 00:20:01,395
(HORN HONKING)
298
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:07,703
You wanna bite back?
299
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,644
Now I want you to stay away
from Clarke Fashions.
300
00:20:13,712 --> 00:20:16,078
I want you to stay away
from this house,
301
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:18,810
and I don't wanna ever
have this conversation again.
302
00:20:20,852 --> 00:20:22,410
Good, let's keep in touch.
303
00:20:22,654 --> 00:20:23,848
Hurry up.
304
00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:52,349
Mr. Coleman,
Mr. Davidson called a half a dozen times.
305
00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:53,611
He wants to hear from you
right away.
306
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:56,085
Well, get in touch with him,
tell him I'll call him this evening.
307
00:20:56,154 --> 00:20:57,644
He said right away.
308
00:20:57,723 --> 00:20:59,884
It's a good deal.
I wouldn't want you to lose it.
309
00:20:59,958 --> 00:21:02,654
We can lay off $3 million
in that company, easy.
310
00:21:02,728 --> 00:21:04,593
I can get him for you.
311
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:09,390
I told you I will call him
this evening. Now leave me alone for a few minutes.
312
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:20,905
This is Coleman.
313
00:21:20,979 --> 00:21:22,970
I want you to deliver
a message for me.
314
00:21:24,116 --> 00:21:27,643
No, I don't mean tomorrow.
I am talking about right now.
315
00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:32,614
Shut up and listen.
I'm gonna say this once.
316
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:35,819
There is a new player
in the game, a PI named Rockford.
317
00:21:35,894 --> 00:21:40,092
He's nosing around
Clarke Fashions, asking questions about Margo Adams.
318
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:42,866
He does not believe
it is an accident.
319
00:21:42,934 --> 00:21:45,664
He wants to know
who killed her and why.
320
00:21:45,804 --> 00:21:47,328
Now you guys are blowing it.
321
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:51,775
If I can't trust the guys
I'm working with, maybe I'll work with somebody else.
322
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,011
BETH: You gonna
tell Dennis about Bob Coleman?
323
00:21:59,084 --> 00:22:00,278
What would I tell him?
324
00:22:00,352 --> 00:22:02,047
That he lied about
knowing Margo.
325
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:03,280
Well, that doesn't
prove anything.
326
00:22:03,355 --> 00:22:05,687
I'd have lied, too,
under the circumstances.
327
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:09,591
Adrienne Clarke has
a lot of spirit and a lot of self-respect.
328
00:22:09,661 --> 00:22:12,152
If she knew Bob Coleman's
idea of fun on the side,
329
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:14,596
she'd take him off
at the knees, I think.
330
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,293
You mean,
he lied to protect himself with Adrienne?
331
00:22:16,368 --> 00:22:17,733
It's a possibility.
332
00:22:17,803 --> 00:22:19,065
He had something to hide.
333
00:22:19,137 --> 00:22:21,162
That's also a possibility.
334
00:22:21,606 --> 00:22:24,006
Coleman wants to keep
the relationship secret.
335
00:22:24,643 --> 00:22:26,873
What if Margo
threatened to tell Adrienne?
336
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,681
No, she wouldn't do that.
On the other hand, she might.
337
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:33,980
People in love
do crazy things.
338
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:36,717
Maybe Coleman killed her
just to keep things quiet.
339
00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:38,653
Well, killing usually
has the reverse effect.
340
00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:39,918
You're being logical.
341
00:22:39,991 --> 00:22:42,152
Logic has nothing to do
with a crime of passion.
342
00:22:42,227 --> 00:22:43,785
I'd heard that.
343
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:47,255
Jim.
344
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:49,562
No. You stay right here.
Let me check it out.
345
00:23:04,816 --> 00:23:06,181
It's clean.
346
00:23:06,351 --> 00:23:08,216
Can you tell
if anything's missing?
347
00:23:08,286 --> 00:23:09,776
In this mess?
348
00:23:13,125 --> 00:23:17,186
Beth, did Margo give you
anything to hold for her?
349
00:23:17,529 --> 00:23:18,621
No.
350
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:26,832
Beth, I want you out of here.
351
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:27,929
I live here.
352
00:23:28,006 --> 00:23:30,907
You also live in Pasadena.
Dennis Becker, please.
353
00:23:30,976 --> 00:23:32,000
Your parents
back from Europe?
354
00:23:32,077 --> 00:23:33,135
Yeah. A couple
of weeks ago.
355
00:23:33,211 --> 00:23:34,508
We'll stash you with them
for a while.
356
00:23:34,579 --> 00:23:35,637
Now wait a minute.
357
00:23:35,714 --> 00:23:38,410
Beth, your friend is dead.
Somebody's looking for something,
358
00:23:38,483 --> 00:23:41,509
and they don't care
how they get it. You're going to Pasadena.
359
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:44,646
Hey, Dennis? Dennis,
did you get a make on that license number?
360
00:23:44,723 --> 00:23:48,159
Yeah. When are you gonna
start giving your business to the DMV?
361
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:50,285
Come on, Dennis.
Who owns the car?
362
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:54,389
It's a company car.
It belongs to George Macklan, Macklan Produce.
363
00:23:54,466 --> 00:23:55,490
Produce?
364
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:57,797
Yeah, like cantaloupes,
string beans.
365
00:23:57,869 --> 00:24:01,305
I don't need a definition.
It just doesn't make sense.
366
00:24:01,373 --> 00:24:02,840
So what else is new?
367
00:24:02,908 --> 00:24:04,842
Somebody searched
Beth's apartment.
368
00:24:04,910 --> 00:24:06,377
Oh. She all right?
369
00:24:06,445 --> 00:24:08,538
Yeah. She's fine.
You want to check it out?
370
00:24:08,613 --> 00:24:10,137
Yeah. I want to check it out.
371
00:24:10,215 --> 00:24:13,013
All right. I'm gonna
drop her off in Pasadena,
372
00:24:13,084 --> 00:24:14,847
and I'll leave the key
with the manager.
373
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:15,944
All right.
374
00:24:16,021 --> 00:24:17,010
Right.
375
00:24:17,088 --> 00:24:18,385
Where's your phone book?
376
00:24:18,457 --> 00:24:19,617
Behind the bar.
377
00:24:23,295 --> 00:24:25,320
What are you looking for?
378
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:30,865
Got it.
Jim!
379
00:24:30,936 --> 00:24:33,097
It's okay. I'll return it.
380
00:24:44,483 --> 00:24:46,178
(DOORBELL RINGING)
381
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:55,792
Miss Clarke.
382
00:24:56,728 --> 00:24:58,628
I'm not going to ask you
to sit down, Mr. Rockford,
383
00:24:58,697 --> 00:25:01,029
because I don't
want you to stay.
384
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,829
Now, if that is
less than gracious, I'm sorry, but I've had a long day.
385
00:25:07,739 --> 00:25:08,899
Thought you wanted
to help.
386
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:09,998
I do,
387
00:25:10,075 --> 00:25:13,476
but I've already told you
everything I know about Margo.
388
00:25:13,545 --> 00:25:16,207
Well, Miss Clarke,
I just left my client.
389
00:25:16,281 --> 00:25:18,545
Her apartment's
been ransacked.
390
00:25:18,617 --> 00:25:19,845
Why tell me?
391
00:25:20,285 --> 00:25:23,345
You're the only one
who knows who my client is.
392
00:25:23,822 --> 00:25:26,552
You're not suggesting that
I had anything to do with it?
393
00:25:26,625 --> 00:25:28,354
What would I be looking for?
394
00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:29,916
Whatever got Margo killed.
395
00:25:29,995 --> 00:25:31,360
Her death was an accident.
396
00:25:31,429 --> 00:25:32,896
It was murder.
397
00:25:33,431 --> 00:25:35,558
Murder? But who?
398
00:25:35,634 --> 00:25:37,226
Let's talk about Bob Coleman.
399
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:39,270
Let's not talk at all.
400
00:25:39,404 --> 00:25:42,305
Did he ask you
who my client was?
401
00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:46,238
Did you tell him?
402
00:25:47,412 --> 00:25:48,970
No, I did not.
403
00:25:49,714 --> 00:25:52,274
Now you've been
crashing around here like a bull elephant,
404
00:25:52,350 --> 00:25:54,875
asking questions
and making accusations.
405
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:57,615
Bob has no more interest
in your client than I have.
406
00:25:58,123 --> 00:26:00,853
Well, he was
having an affair with Margo.
407
00:26:01,693 --> 00:26:03,524
You say that with
a great deal of authority.
408
00:26:03,595 --> 00:26:05,825
And you don't seem
particularly surprised.
409
00:26:05,997 --> 00:26:10,366
It would be unrealistic
for me to believe that Bob leads a monastic life,
410
00:26:11,069 --> 00:26:13,333
but it's not something
we've ever discussed,
411
00:26:13,405 --> 00:26:16,340
and I certainly
have no intention of discussing it with you.
412
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:19,935
I resent your prying,
and I resent these personal questions.
413
00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:22,104
I don't like it any better
than you do, Miss Clarke.
414
00:26:22,180 --> 00:26:24,148
I'm looking for
a motive for murder.
415
00:26:24,215 --> 00:26:25,842
Then look someplace else.
416
00:26:25,951 --> 00:26:29,580
I have a feeling I'm looking
in exactly the right place.
417
00:26:39,030 --> 00:26:41,430
COLEMAN: All right.
You pulled me out of a very important meeting.
418
00:26:41,499 --> 00:26:42,591
I've gotta get back.
What is it?
419
00:26:42,667 --> 00:26:46,034
Yesterday you asked me
who hired Jim Rockford, and I told you.
420
00:26:46,137 --> 00:26:47,968
Yeah. Davenport
or something. So?
421
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,530
So yesterday,
somebody took her place apart.
422
00:26:50,642 --> 00:26:51,666
And?
423
00:26:51,743 --> 00:26:53,233
What were they looking for?
424
00:26:53,311 --> 00:26:54,903
How should I know?
425
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:56,504
Bob, I don't like
what I'm thinking,
426
00:26:56,581 --> 00:26:58,208
but I know that if you wanted
an apartment searched
427
00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,513
(SNAPPING FINGERS)
You could have it done like "that."
428
00:27:00,585 --> 00:27:02,849
Well, what reason
would I have?
429
00:27:03,021 --> 00:27:05,819
Margo and Beth Davenport
were very good friends.
430
00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:08,051
And you and Margo
were even closer.
431
00:27:09,661 --> 00:27:11,185
When did you find that out?
432
00:27:11,262 --> 00:27:13,025
The day it started.
433
00:27:13,598 --> 00:27:16,999
I may work 24 hours a day,
but I'm still a woman.
434
00:27:18,503 --> 00:27:20,494
I'll take your word for it.
435
00:27:20,572 --> 00:27:23,063
Okay, Bob, I understand
and I'm not angry,
436
00:27:23,141 --> 00:27:27,271
but I don't know
what's happening. Jim Rockford said Margo was murdered.
437
00:27:27,345 --> 00:27:28,505
Well, am I supposed to
have the answers?
438
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:31,447
You always have.
Was she murdered?
439
00:27:31,916 --> 00:27:35,079
Honey, just keep control,
will you? It's bad for your image.
440
00:27:35,153 --> 00:27:38,714
Besides, you're gonna wanna
make a nice impression on the new owners.
441
00:27:38,790 --> 00:27:40,223
What are you talking about?
442
00:27:40,291 --> 00:27:41,849
We're selling Clarke Fashions.
443
00:27:41,926 --> 00:27:43,018
You can't!
444
00:27:43,094 --> 00:27:44,721
The deal is made.
445
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:46,491
What was it you think
I had you sign yesterday?
446
00:27:46,564 --> 00:27:47,724
You told me
they were contracts.
447
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,892
Ah, you see the mistake
you made?
448
00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:52,402
You should always,
always read the fine print.
449
00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:54,461
Don't ever take
anybody's word for it in business.
450
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:56,769
I built this company.
You can't sell it.
451
00:27:56,841 --> 00:27:59,503
You built it on my money,
and I can.
452
00:28:00,478 --> 00:28:02,173
Well, at least give me
a chance to buy it.
453
00:28:02,247 --> 00:28:03,373
Hey, it's an open market.
454
00:28:03,448 --> 00:28:04,642
All you have to do
is come up with
455
00:28:04,716 --> 00:28:07,014
$3.5 million dollars
by next Tuesday.
456
00:28:07,485 --> 00:28:09,544
I can't raise that much.
457
00:28:09,621 --> 00:28:11,816
Well, it's not as if
you wouldn't be a part of the business.
458
00:28:11,890 --> 00:28:14,381
We've sold your services
for the next five years.
459
00:28:14,459 --> 00:28:15,721
I don't understand.
460
00:28:15,794 --> 00:28:17,659
It's all part of the deal,
your contract.
461
00:28:17,729 --> 00:28:20,357
But why?
Why didn't you tell me?
462
00:28:20,432 --> 00:28:23,890
Any questions you have to ask,
you should have asked three years ago.
463
00:28:23,968 --> 00:28:25,731
I'm asking now.
464
00:28:25,804 --> 00:28:27,897
You're like
a baseball player, baby.
465
00:28:27,972 --> 00:28:29,963
You've been sold
to another club.
466
00:28:37,182 --> 00:28:38,911
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
467
00:28:46,991 --> 00:28:48,390
May I come in?
468
00:28:48,460 --> 00:28:49,688
You can even sit down.
469
00:28:50,061 --> 00:28:52,495
There's very little reason
for you to be nice to me.
470
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:55,897
Well, when somebody
comes charging into your life like a bull elephant,
471
00:28:55,967 --> 00:28:58,697
there's even less reason
to be gracious.
472
00:28:59,070 --> 00:29:02,528
If you'd reacted
any differently, I'd be wondering why.
473
00:29:02,807 --> 00:29:05,640
I suppose that takes care
of the apologies.
474
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:09,913
Why did you come
to see me last night? You didn't learn anything.
475
00:29:09,981 --> 00:29:12,575
Oh, sure I did.
I learned I was wrong.
476
00:29:13,184 --> 00:29:17,086
I thought you might go
quick-stepping right over to Bob Coleman,
477
00:29:17,856 --> 00:29:22,156
but I sat outside
your apartment for two hours, you never showed.
478
00:29:22,594 --> 00:29:25,427
I had my hat and coat on
for about a minute and a half.
479
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:26,521
No.
480
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:29,032
Have a seat.
481
00:29:36,107 --> 00:29:37,631
What is it you want,
Miss Clarke?
482
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:38,869
I want to hire you.
483
00:29:38,943 --> 00:29:40,410
I already have a client.
484
00:29:40,478 --> 00:29:41,604
Can't you have two?
485
00:29:41,679 --> 00:29:44,204
We're both interested
in the same thing, who killed Margo.
486
00:29:44,282 --> 00:29:45,772
No. Beth wants the truth.
487
00:29:45,850 --> 00:29:47,340
And you want
to clear Bob Coleman.
488
00:29:47,418 --> 00:29:48,783
I want the truth, too.
489
00:29:48,853 --> 00:29:50,081
All right.
490
00:29:50,155 --> 00:29:53,124
Tell me what Bob Coleman
has to do with your company.
491
00:29:55,026 --> 00:29:57,722
You want my help,
that's part of the deal. Now what does he do?
492
00:29:57,896 --> 00:29:59,523
What difference does it make?
493
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:04,762
Whatever happened to Margo
is tied into Coleman and Clarke Fashions.
494
00:30:04,936 --> 00:30:06,369
He handles the bookkeeping.
495
00:30:06,437 --> 00:30:09,304
Oh, come on.
Are you trying to sell me that?
496
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:12,271
You want me
to buy Bob Coleman as a CPA?
497
00:30:12,710 --> 00:30:14,109
I made a mistake coming here.
498
00:30:14,179 --> 00:30:16,010
Then leave.
499
00:30:26,057 --> 00:30:27,718
I don't have
anybody else to go to.
500
00:30:27,792 --> 00:30:28,781
Then level.
501
00:30:29,994 --> 00:30:33,623
I don't want to be
an accessory to murder. I think Bob killed Margo.
502
00:30:33,698 --> 00:30:34,687
Why?
503
00:30:34,766 --> 00:30:36,028
I don't know.
504
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,397
Who is he?
505
00:30:39,304 --> 00:30:40,601
Come on.
506
00:30:41,706 --> 00:30:43,071
Come on, jump in.
507
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:46,008
You got something
you're afraid to say, say it.
508
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,075
Come on.
Just let it go. Say it!
509
00:30:54,953 --> 00:30:58,616
Three years ago,
I had a shop on West Adams.
510
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:03,885
Just me and a rebuilt
sewing machine that took a year and a half to pay off.
511
00:31:03,962 --> 00:31:06,590
That bobbin tension
was never any good.
512
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:09,766
I'm a woman. I'm black.
513
00:31:10,168 --> 00:31:12,796
That doesn't change
inside the ghetto or out.
514
00:31:13,271 --> 00:31:15,762
I had talent. I had ambition.
515
00:31:16,007 --> 00:31:17,736
I pushed and shoved
and worked
516
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:19,936
until there wasn't
any part of me that didn't hurt,
517
00:31:20,011 --> 00:31:21,535
but I just couldn't make it.
518
00:31:22,380 --> 00:31:24,314
Then I met Bob Coleman.
519
00:31:24,716 --> 00:31:27,310
I was whipped.
I wasn't going anywhere.
520
00:31:28,253 --> 00:31:32,246
Then, one day, he backed
a green station wagon up to the rear door.
521
00:31:33,124 --> 00:31:36,924
You know what was in it? Cash.
As much as I needed.
522
00:31:37,528 --> 00:31:39,758
And you didn't ask
where it came from?
523
00:31:39,831 --> 00:31:41,025
You bet I didn't.
524
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:43,329
I wanted out,
and it got me out.
525
00:31:43,935 --> 00:31:46,631
Well, you're gonna have
to ask the question now.
526
00:31:47,238 --> 00:31:49,001
What's Bob Coleman into?
527
00:31:50,241 --> 00:31:52,106
He finances companies.
528
00:31:52,477 --> 00:31:53,739
In cash?
529
00:31:59,384 --> 00:32:02,512
Did you know
you were being backed by organized crime?
530
00:32:02,587 --> 00:32:04,077
I told you, I didn't ask.
531
00:32:04,155 --> 00:32:06,419
Well, you're gonna have to
turn over the rock.
532
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:08,982
There are billions of dollars
in syndicate operations,
533
00:32:09,060 --> 00:32:11,551
but it's dirty money,
and it's traceable.
534
00:32:11,629 --> 00:32:15,087
So they make
cash investments in legitimate businesses,
535
00:32:15,166 --> 00:32:18,727
hang on to them for a while,
then sell them, then the money's clean.
536
00:32:19,837 --> 00:32:23,068
They're taking
$2.5 million dollars out of Clarke Fashions.
537
00:32:23,141 --> 00:32:24,369
Bob sold the company,
538
00:32:24,442 --> 00:32:26,808
but I think
I know how to make him change his mind.
539
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:29,870
He made the mistake
of telling me about his insurance policy.
540
00:32:29,948 --> 00:32:33,349
He keeps a written record
of all his transactions: Names, dates,
541
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:36,387
how much they put into
a company, how much they get out.
542
00:32:36,454 --> 00:32:40,151
There's a cardinal rule
in the mob. "You put nothing in writing."
543
00:32:40,224 --> 00:32:42,385
Well, he did.
It's a lever.
544
00:32:42,927 --> 00:32:46,988
Are you interested in pinning
a murder rap on Bob Coleman or saving your company?
545
00:32:47,065 --> 00:32:49,329
Am I supposed to let it go
without a fight?
546
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,163
In this case, yes.
We go to the police.
547
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:53,203
No!
I don't wanna go to the police.
548
00:32:53,271 --> 00:32:54,829
If I do,
that's the end of everything.
549
00:32:54,906 --> 00:32:56,373
What other choice
do you have?
550
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:58,636
We go to Bob Coleman's house
and confront him.
551
00:32:58,710 --> 00:33:01,975
He can't afford to let that
information out, that he's been keeping records.
552
00:33:02,046 --> 00:33:03,035
We go to the police.
553
00:33:03,114 --> 00:33:04,911
If we do,
I don't say anything.
554
00:33:05,216 --> 00:33:08,811
I'm gonna see Bob.
If you don't wanna come with me, I'll go alone.

(SIGHS)
556
00:33:30,908 --> 00:33:34,674
If Coleman told you
about his book, he could have told Margo.
557
00:33:34,746 --> 00:33:37,146
Now let's say she found it
and took it.
558
00:33:37,215 --> 00:33:40,651
It would give her something
to hold over his head and keep him in line.
559
00:33:40,718 --> 00:33:43,186
And he killed her
in order to recover it?
560
00:33:43,821 --> 00:33:46,153
Then why was
your client's place searched?
561
00:33:46,224 --> 00:33:49,125
Because the book obviously
wasn't at Margo's.
562
00:33:49,193 --> 00:33:53,323
Beth is her one close friend.
What better place to put it for safekeeping?
563
00:33:54,365 --> 00:33:57,892
Look, if we're gonna
do this thing, we're gonna do it carefully.
564
00:33:58,002 --> 00:33:59,697
We're not going in
threatening.
565
00:33:59,804 --> 00:34:01,533
Coleman has all the answers,
566
00:34:01,606 --> 00:34:05,167
so if we play it right,
we might end up with a few.
567
00:34:05,476 --> 00:34:06,841
Whatever you say.
568
00:34:08,613 --> 00:34:10,604

569
00:34:10,681 --> 00:34:12,171
I always try.

572
00:34:24,262 --> 00:34:25,661
I don't know.

All right. I'll check it out.

no more than that.

One bullet in the throat,
one in the mouth.

What does that tell you?
579
00:35:10,341 --> 00:35:13,208
That he was a talker.
His friends didn't like it.
580
00:35:13,678 --> 00:35:16,613
They signed their name,
so nobody else gets ideas.
581
00:35:17,081 --> 00:35:18,139
All right.
Thanks, Doc.

I'll punch in with you
soon as I get the report from the autopsy.

Hi, Dennis.
What's happening? Who's that?

Why don't you wait
until the investigation is over?
585
00:35:27,725 --> 00:35:29,386
I'll copy you along with
the Lieutenant.
586
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:31,189
What are you doing here?
587
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:32,490
I came to see Coleman.
588
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:33,621
Why?
589
00:35:33,698 --> 00:35:36,132
I got some questions
I'd like to ask him.
590
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:37,997
He's fresh out of answers.
591
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:40,594
That's him on the way
to the meat wagon now.
592

Let's try this over again.
593
00:35:43,241 --> 00:35:44,902
What are you doing here?
594
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:49,705
Look, Coleman was having
an affair with Margo Adams. I think he killed her.
595
00:35:49,780 --> 00:35:51,441
At least,
I thought he killed her.
596
00:35:51,516 --> 00:35:52,983
What else do you know
about him?
597
00:35:53,050 --> 00:35:55,280
I know he was
financing companies
598
00:35:55,353 --> 00:35:57,821
out of the back
of a station wagon in cash.
599
00:35:57,922 --> 00:36:01,790

I'd check on his background. He's connected.

and you're always
right around there, saving us.
603
00:36:09,567 --> 00:36:10,829
You knew.
604
00:36:11,636 --> 00:36:13,604
Did you find a record book?
605
00:36:13,671 --> 00:36:14,968
What record book?
606
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:18,270
Well, the book that Coleman
kept all his transactions in.
607
00:36:18,543 --> 00:36:20,135
You didn't know.
608
00:36:20,678 --> 00:36:22,202
Where'd you get
this information?
609
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,840
Well, I don't know, Dennis.
I just talk to so many people,
610
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:26,781
I can't remember
where I heard that.
611
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,216
I'm asking as a cop.
612
00:36:28,286 --> 00:36:29,719
And I'm answering
as a citizen,
613
00:36:29,787 --> 00:36:32,654
a cooperative citizen.
It'll come back to me,
614
00:36:32,723 --> 00:36:34,350
but there is a record.
615
00:36:34,425 --> 00:36:37,553
It's probably what they were
looking for when they searched Margo's place
616
00:36:37,628 --> 00:36:38,652
and Beth's.
617
00:36:38,729 --> 00:36:40,060
Who is "they"?
618

Oh, come on, Dennis.
I gotta leave something for you guys to do.
619
00:36:42,967 --> 00:36:44,559
Where you going?
620
00:36:44,635 --> 00:36:46,466
Home, take a shower.
621
00:36:46,537 --> 00:36:47,834
Stay out of it.

to cooperate.

00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:27,800
I don't have much choice.
626
00:37:27,878 --> 00:37:29,743
Oh, yeah,
you got a choice.

going to do to me?

What are we gonna do to you?
Nothing. Not a thing.

You're about to
make an exception.
652
00:39:21,992 --> 00:39:25,484
Bob Coleman kept a record
of all his financial transactions,
653
00:39:25,563 --> 00:39:27,224
a written record.
654
00:39:28,632 --> 00:39:30,065
I see. Is that all?

00:39:30,134 --> 00:39:32,466
No, no. Coleman's dead.
656
00:39:32,570 --> 00:39:34,936
Now my guess is that
you had to make a choice
657
00:39:35,005 --> 00:39:39,032
between the records and a guy
that was unraveling and ready to go to the DA,
658

but I can help you.
659

The cops are gonna
go through Coleman's house.
660
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,044
I know that he kept
the book hidden there. There's a safe.
661
00:39:46,117 --> 00:39:49,644

that if the cops find those records,
662

Well, you I could
care less about,

00:40:04,802 --> 00:40:06,929
but Adrienne Clarke
is a dear friend.
669
00:40:07,138 --> 00:40:10,835
If the cops find the records,
she goes down the drain with everything else.

I know you broke up
everybody's apartment looking for those records,
673
00:40:43,607 --> 00:40:45,598
but did you ever
go through Coleman's house?
674
00:40:45,676 --> 00:40:48,474
Yeah, but I had to do it
very carefully. I didn't want to tip him.
675
00:40:48,546 --> 00:40:50,673
He have a safe
in that house?
676
00:40:50,748 --> 00:40:52,648
I don't think so.
I never saw one.
677
00:40:52,716 --> 00:40:56,982

who says those records are in a safe in Coleman's house.

If he had a safe,
Mr. Macklan, I'd know about it.
679
00:40:59,523 --> 00:41:01,252
Yeah?
Well, you worked for him five years,
680
00:41:01,325 --> 00:41:04,158
and you didn't know
he was keeping records of all our transactions.
681
00:41:04,228 --> 00:41:06,253
Maybe you didn't know
he had a safe.
682
00:41:06,330 --> 00:41:10,699
Now it seems to me
that you did a damn poor job of watching him.
683
00:41:11,335 --> 00:41:14,827
Now get over there
and go through that house thoroughly!
684
00:43:37,081 --> 00:43:38,480
MACKLAN:
...find anything, huh?
685
00:43:38,549 --> 00:43:41,382
I told you,
I went through that place front and back, nothing.
686
00:43:41,452 --> 00:43:43,579
There's no safe.
I told you there was no safe.
687
00:43:43,654 --> 00:43:47,181
I don't like it.
I don't like it. There's something rotten here.
688
00:43:47,558 --> 00:43:48,923
I don't like it.
689
00:43:59,436 --> 00:44:01,131
I'm telling you,
nobody followed me back.
690
00:44:01,205 --> 00:44:03,673
Well, if there's no safe,
somebody is setting us up.
691
00:44:03,741 --> 00:44:04,867
Now let's get her
in the car.
692
00:44:04,942 --> 00:44:07,274
Nobody followed me back,
Mr. Macklan. I was very careful.
693
00:44:07,344 --> 00:44:09,073
Get her in the car.
694
00:44:13,584 --> 00:44:14,676
On the double, Dennis.
695
00:44:14,752 --> 00:44:16,879
I don't think
there's much time. They may move her.
696
00:44:16,954 --> 00:44:18,216
You got a gun, Jim?
697
00:44:18,288 --> 00:44:19,778
No. So get a move on.
698
00:44:19,857 --> 00:44:23,224
And don't comein here like it's aNew Year's Eve party.
699
00:44:35,539 --> 00:44:37,097
(HORN HONKING)
700
00:44:38,375 --> 00:44:39,842
Any sign of those cops?
701
00:44:39,910 --> 00:44:42,777
Oh, yeah.
They're chasing some kid down the street.
702
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:49,611
Hey, I wouldn't do that
if I were you. They're liable to be back any minute now.
703
00:44:49,687 --> 00:44:51,917
Well, when they do,
you tell them I borrowed their car.
704
00:44:51,989 --> 00:44:53,217
What are you, crazy?
705
00:44:53,290 --> 00:44:55,155
Just tell them Sergeant Becker
said it was okay.
706
00:44:55,225 --> 00:44:56,590
Sergeant who?
707
00:45:26,623 --> 00:45:28,215
(POLICE SIREN WAILING)
708
00:46:10,167 --> 00:46:13,603
Officer in trouble.
2365 South Central.
709
00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:16,730
Will somebody
get the hell over here? I'm out-numbered.
710
00:46:36,860 --> 00:46:38,225
All right,this is Sergeant Becker.
711
00:46:38,295 --> 00:46:40,525
Move those three unitsdown the other endof the building.
712
00:46:40,597 --> 00:46:43,293
Set up a CP.Get a couple of snipersacross the street.
713
00:46:43,367 --> 00:46:47,531
We have two male Caucasians,one female hostage.
714
00:46:47,604 --> 00:46:49,333
Go through the warehouse!
715
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:24,668
OFFICER: Out of the car!
Out! Out! Out!
716
00:47:27,744 --> 00:47:30,144
They were gonna kill me.
They said they were gonna kill me.
717
00:47:30,214 --> 00:47:33,775
I know. I know.
It's all right. Come on. Come on. It's all right.
718
00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:11,451
Oh, Adrienne,
it's beautiful.
719
00:48:11,922 --> 00:48:13,287
Well, it's
not Clarke Fashions,
720
00:48:13,357 --> 00:48:14,790
but then it's
not West Adams, either.
721
00:48:14,858 --> 00:48:15,847
How's business?
722
00:48:15,926 --> 00:48:17,052
Oh, keeps getting better.
723
00:48:17,127 --> 00:48:19,288
A lot of my old customers
have looked me up.
724
00:48:19,363 --> 00:48:21,923
Do you know I'm even selling
to my probation officer?
725
00:48:21,999 --> 00:48:25,230
I've said before,
there should never have been any probationary period.
726
00:48:25,302 --> 00:48:26,792
Porter's down
on two counts of murder,
727
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:29,236
and Macklan's an accessory
before the fact.
728
00:48:29,306 --> 00:48:30,864
You had
nothing to do with it all.
729
00:48:31,108 --> 00:48:33,804
Beth,
I built my company on dirty money.
730
00:48:33,877 --> 00:48:37,244
I had a lot of questions
to ask three years ago, and I didn't ask them.
731
00:48:37,314 --> 00:48:38,338
They could have
put me away.
732
00:48:38,415 --> 00:48:40,042
Oh, not a chance.
Not a chance.
733
00:48:40,117 --> 00:48:41,175
You had a good attorney.
734
00:48:41,251 --> 00:48:42,445
I know.
735
00:48:43,620 --> 00:48:45,850
I think I'm gonna browse,
okay?
736
00:48:47,758 --> 00:48:49,623
You know, I still find it
hard to believe
737
00:48:49,693 --> 00:48:52,628
that Ray Porter
tried to take over Bob's territory.
738
00:48:52,696 --> 00:48:55,187
Well, Coleman
never should have kept that record book,
739
00:48:55,265 --> 00:48:57,495
even if he did keep it
in a safety deposit box.
740
00:48:57,567 --> 00:48:59,296
It made him a weak link.
741
00:48:59,369 --> 00:49:02,338
If Porter hadn't
taken him off, someone else would have.
742
00:49:02,406 --> 00:49:04,340
Porter swears that
Margo's death was accidental.
743
00:49:04,408 --> 00:49:05,432
Do you think it was?
744
00:49:05,509 --> 00:49:07,568
The only thing accidental
about it was killing her
745
00:49:07,644 --> 00:49:09,942
before he found
the record book.
746
00:49:10,747 --> 00:49:15,013
Hey, you're gonna make it
on your own this time?
747
00:49:15,218 --> 00:49:16,708
I'm gonna try.
748
00:49:16,954 --> 00:49:19,548
And if a green station wagon
comes backing into your life?
749
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:20,715
I slam the door.
750
00:49:20,791 --> 00:49:21,780
Right.
751
00:49:21,858 --> 00:49:24,588
Of course now,
if it's something in a baby blue...
