All language subtitles for Rockford Files S05E17 The Return of the Black Shadow.DVDRip.NonHI.en.UNVSL

Relax, mama,
you're gonna dig it.

It'd be a shame to see the whole
Cooper family wiped out by one gang.

Is that what an ex-motorcycle gang
member does when his sister gets raped?

I'm with the Rattlers, Jimmy.

Now, you gotta take a look and
see if these bums are the ones.

All right, burn them up.

ROCKFORD ON ANSWERING
MACHINE: This is Jim Rockford.

At the tone, leave your
name and message.

I'll get back to you.

Jim, this is Florence Boyle. You worked
for my husband last month in Glendale.

You were so helpful then and...

Well, I have a problem of my own I'd
like to discuss, confidentially, of course.

I got a nose like a bloodhound.

This is really nice of you,
I mean, asking me out.

Hey, it's okay, I wanted to.

Hey, you don't have to
say that, Mr. Rockford.

I know Johnny made you do it.

He says I never date, but I do.

I mean, not a lot because there's so
much extra cataloguing at the university.

We're completely redesigning the
entire physics research catalogue.

That must be something.

Well, it is sort of interesting,

because physics is basically
a quantitative science.

It used to be that it was
just called natural physics.

But, more recently, they've broken it down
into a lot of different classifications,

like mechanics and heat and
thermodynamics and optics.

And then, of course, are the more
highly developed classifications

like geophysics
and astrophysics.

Those, too, huh? Absolutely.

Most people think that those
fields are astrological designations,

but they're really
physics. Pure and simple.

Pure and simple.

You and Johnny must
really be great friends.

Well, yeah, we share a certain
resentment for the establishment.

What made you say that?

Well, I mean for you to agree
to take me out and everything.

Gail, I wanted to.

No, I bet he made you
do it, but I don't mind.

I've never been deep-sea fishing,
so I'm really looking forward to it.

Me, too.

And then there's plasma physics
and low-temperature physics.

They're really interesting because they
both stem in part from the quantum theory,

or the theory of relativity.
You must know about that one.

Yeah, Einstein?

No, silly, the theory of
relativity is all about in-laws.

Oh, that's an old physics joke.

And a good one, too.

Hey, dude, you trying to
hog all the road to yourself?

You can't drive it, citizen,
you park it, you hear?

Saddle up back there.

Hey, who's that mama you've
got in there with you, boy?

Come on.

Hey, mama, can't
you speak to nobody?

Let's go.

Bunch of...

It's okay.

They've gone.

You won't believe this, but
Johnny used to be like them.

Who, those bikers?

After our parents were
killed, he went kind of crazy.

He had a bike and friends like
that, it lasted almost two years.

Didn't he ever
show you his tattoo?

Tattoo?

Yes, he was in a club. And
they all had to wear tattoos.

They called themselves
The Vincent Black Shadow.

Oh, yeah, after the
old classic motorcycle.

Yeah, I guess so.

You know, when Johnny
finally became an attorney,

it was, for me, the
biggest moment of my life.

When he stepped up
and got that certificate,

I cried, I couldn't stop.

People were looking.

You're all right, Gail.

Oh, you're just saying that.

That's right, but
I mean it, too.

Hey, horn-honker.

Your horn works.

Try the lights.

Hey, Animal, try his lights.

Hey, mama.

Hey, his lights work.

How about if I just
rev it up a little bit?

Hey, all right!

Okay, the fun's over, all right?

No, it ain't.

Hey, we're gonna give
your wheels a little test

and you turn into Tarzan!

Trouble, Willie.

Hey, you got a problem, citizen?

No, sir.

'Cause if you was
to have a problem,

I wish you'd let
me know about it.

I got no problem.

Except you're a geek, right?

Yes, sir.

How about you?

You got a problem?

Hey, horn-blower,
you got a problem?

He doesn't want no problem.

Then you won't mind
if I borrow your wheels.

Hey, please, man,
leave us alone.

I ain't hurting anybody...
Am I hurting somebody?

No, sir.

Then I'm gonna take your
mama and your wheels.

Is that okay with you, Tarzan?

Hey, please don't...

How's that again?

I said...

Okay, then, so it works for
Tarzan, so it works for me.

You honk your horn at a Rattler,

and that's how it
goes, you eat it, Jack.

Animal? ANIMAL: Yo.

This horn-honker's
mama's gonna pull a train.

Let's take her up to the canyon.

Relax, mama,
you're gonna dig it.

Hey, you okay?

Hey, buddy, you got a car?

You're not going after them,
fella. You might have a broken rib.

That guy kicked you real
hard. Let's just call the cops.

Is that your truck?

Look, let's just
call the sheriff.

Give me the keys!
Just give me the keys!

Now, go on, you call the cops
and tell them to look in the canyon.

Go on!

Come on, where is she, huh?

Okay, you. Just come on.

You're so tough, you wanna
eat some iron? Come on.

I'd love to stuff this
thing down your throat.

Tough guy, you wanna
eat some iron? Come on.

Come on, come on, all of you!

Get away.

Stop it! Stop it!

Let's get out of
here! Cops! Come on!

What should I do with her?

Dump her.

Gail?

Gail?

You better get an
ambulance up here.

Okay, looks like
she's in bad shape.

Dr. Elliot. Dr. Elliot to CCU.

I'm John Cooper.

I understand my sister
Gail and a friend of mine,

Jim Rockford, were
brought in here a while ago.

Can I see them?

You'll have to
talk to the doctor.

Mr. Cooper?

Dr. Conrad. Dr. Conrad,
you're needed in OR.

I'm Dr. Greenberg.

Yeah, how is she? The nurse
said she was unconscious.

She's been sexually
assaulted more than once.

Physically, she's all right, but, mentally,
she is in a deep emotional trauma.

Well, just what the hell
does that mean, Doctor?

She's in an emotional shock.

She can open her eyes, but she
doesn't hear or respond to anything.

Right now she's in PIC.
They're looking her over.

PIC?

Psychological Intensive Care.

We'll know more about
her condition in a few hours.

Dr. Russell. Dr. Russell,
please call Radiology.

Raped?

My God.

Where is Rockford?
Can I see him?

I think so. The police
are finished talking to him.

But, Mr. Cooper,
please don't be too long.

He's in no great shape, either.

He has a rib that's
punctured his lung.

Yeah.

Which room?

He's on the fourth floor, 415.

Well, I heard you tried
to take on 20 guys.

What are you, nuts?

I'm sorry, John.

Hey, it's not your fault.

How're you feeling?

Terrible.

How's Gail?

Well, they got her in PIC.
They wouldn't let me see her.

PIC?

Yeah, it's a...

It's a...

A head ward.

I guess she blanked
out or something.

Those guys, they...

They took her up in the hills...

I know, Coop.

You talked to the cops?

Uh-huh.

And?

Now, listen, John...

And?

They're working on it.

Oh, that's good.

What'd you tell them?

Leave it alone, Coop.

The cops will turn something.

Dennis... Dennis Becker took this
case right off of Chapman's desk.

Jim,

suppose that's
Rocky lying in there,

and they got him looking
at little boxes and triangles,

and he's staring right
past them at a wall.

You're gonna let
the cops handle it?

I don't know, Coop.

You never lied to me,
Jim, what would you do?

All right, all right.

Suppose you catch up
with them, what then?

I turn them over to the cops.

Is that what an ex-motorcycle gang
member does when his sister gets raped?

She told you about that, huh?

Yeah.

Well, I'm not a Black
Shadow anymore, Jim.

I'm a graduate of West
Virginia Law School.

I don't go around hitting guys with
sprocket chains, at least not anymore.

Okay.

I'll put it to you this way.

I'm going after them.

Now, you can tell me what
you know, or you can hold onto it.

It doesn't change my course. It just maybe
keeps me from walking into a windmill.

It'd be a shame to see the whole
Cooper family wiped out by one gang.

Or one friend.

Hey, that's not your fault.

But what happens to me,

could be.

Coop.

They were called the Rattlers.
There were 15, 20 of them.

They were one-percenters.

I figured that. What else?

I got one license plate,

9Z9951.

Any names?

Yeah, one. There's Animal.

Who was on the point?

Oh, he was a pretty good-size
guy with dirty blonde hair.

He was 39, 40 years old, he
was older than the rest of them.

They were in their
mid-twenties as far as I could tell.

It's not much except for
the plate, it's almost nothing.

Coop,

tell Gail I'm sorry, man.

Yeah.

Hey, you rest easy.

Thanks, Jim.

Gail.

Gail.

What do you mean,
it makes no sense?

I know you're upset, John.

Look, Rockford saw the plates,
and Rockford doesn't make mistakes.

Rockford makes
mistakes all the time.

He got busted up pretty bad, he
misread the plates. Pure and simple.

Well, what's his name? I wanna
talk to him. What's his name?

The plate is registered to a
guy by the name of Robert Greis.

He's a 40-year-old food dealer.

He's got these little
trucks that go around

and sell to factories
on their coffee breaks.

We had him in for questioning.
He wears a three-piece suit.

The Rattlers were
a club 10 years ago.

According to our gang
squad, they've been disbanded,

at least, as far as we can tell.

Maybe these guys
came from up north.

Now, what about the bike
the plate was traced to?

It's a dirt bike, registered
to his catering company.

A dirt bike? A dirt bike.

So, maybe he
switched the plates.

Or maybe Rockford was wrong.

Maybe.

Hey, hold it.

Listen, John.

Me and you have had no
run-ins. I'd like to keep it that way.

Me, too.

I know you're upset about
your sister, anybody would be.

But it's more the reason
why you stay out of this.

Okay.

I mean, really.

I'm out. Okay?

Okay.

It just doesn't make
much sense to me

to have a meeting
without Billy being here.

I don't know, Bob.

Maybe he's the one guy
that shouldn't be here.

He still scares us all, right?

Hey, nobody ever said that.

Come on now, let's own
up to at least that much.

He scared us 10 years
ago and he still does.

The only reason he's in for 30%

is we were too scared of
him then to offer him any less.

Look, that wasn't the
situation then and you know it!

Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute, hold on.

Now, look, we got a good
thing going here, right?

I just went over the
third quarter with Harry.

Rolling Catering stock is up
25%. Weddings and Picnics, 22.

The Danish shop on Crenshaw
is turning the corner, plus.

Dave and Milt tell me we can
franchise the donut business.

And we got "Whispering
Willie" Green.

Still running
citizens off the road.

Taking some broad up in the
hills and making her pull a train.

He's got Bob's
plate on his bike.

He's hired a bunch of punks
from up north to work on the trucks.

He's forming the club
back up and making runs.

And now Bob gets
pulled in and questioned.

Now, just suppose somebody
starts digging in your old file, Bob?

And just suppose they find out that this
whole company was put together by us.

What then?

Hey, Bob, he's right.
Someone's got to stop him.

Somebody's got to wise him up.

Okay, I'll do it.

I'll tell him, he
gets out of town

and he stops making runs or
we feed him his spurs. Agreed?

Yeah, yeah, it's
agreed, it's agreed.

You wanna keep your hands
off that bike there, sonny?

Tough guy, huh?

Who knows? I sure don't.

But you keep smarting off,
citizen, you might find out.

It's just I haven't seen
one of those for 10 years.

That is the finest
bike ever built.

You seen a guy named Animal?

Well, he's a Rattler I met
up on the Porterville run.

How many Animals
you heard of, huh?

Personally, I know six guys
that answer to that handle.

Okay.

There's this bar
down near the Coast.

The guys have been
hanging around there.

The citizens don't
mind if we hang around.

Okay.

It's called Kilroy's.

Kilroy's?

You trying to be
funny or something?

I'm not kidding you. I think the
guy that owns it is named Kilroy.

You kidding me?
You don't think I can?

Hey, cowboy, I got 10 bucks
right there says you can't.

You pull that on me every
week, man, I'm sick of it.

I just wish I had me a
citizen's head to break it over.

Hey, talking about citizens.

Hey, you guys
here selling donuts?

Hello, Willie.

You guys wouldn't know it, but you know,
there was a time when these two and me,

we take a broad so bad, she didn't
know where she was for a week.

You wanna hold it down, Willie?

No, Jack, I don't
wanna hold it down!

Hey, Willie, we gotta talk
to you. It's important. Now.

Oh, it must be for you guys to be
taking a chance to come down here

and have them
fancy suits flashed on.

Hey, Willie, it's
private. Come here.

Yeah?

You still collecting
on that dumb bet?

Hey, if you don't like it, you
know what you can do with it, Jack.

Okay, Willie, I'll
give it to you straight.

You're causing too much trouble.

Hey, are you the same Phil Dankus
who used to be called "Zorro"?

The same guy that
took a couple of kids

back into the Redlands 10
years ago and snuffed them?

But that was when you was
interested in the Rattlers, wasn't it,

instead of ham
and cheese on rye?

Okay, pal.

We had a board meeting, and we
all agreed that you get out of town.

And if you're not gone
in one day, or less,

Bob and the rest of us are gonna

see to it personally that
you leave town feet first.

And if you don't
think we're up to it,

just play back a few
10-year-old memories.

Everybody sit, now!

What are you doing?
You guys shot me.

Now, you want the rest of it, or are
you gonna cut your losses and drift?

I'm bleeding here.

I'm really hurt here.
You guys shot me.

You got it, Willie.

Now, you get out of town or the
next one's in the middle of your head.

Now, everybody just stay put.

If you don't, I don't.

Now, come on, Willie,
give me your keys.

They ain't nothing!
Come on, Willie.

You guys just watch.

We're gonna bust those dudes!

Come on. Come on, Willie.

You going somewhere?

Who's that?

What's it to you?

Nothing. Ain't nothing to me.

You pulled that
shiv out real quick.

Hey, we're the Rattlers. You
pulled the blade on our Number 1.

No kidding. You mean that
guy with the hole in his shoulder?

Hey, you got colors?

Well, show them.

He's been closed out since '62.

Yeah, well, sure
changed my mind now.

A Black Shadow, huh?

West Virginia, right?

No kidding.

That's right, ace, no kidding.

Hey, where's Whispering
Willie? He okay?

Yeah.

He says we gotta lay low.

Yeah?

Yeah, we're gonna
make a run tomorrow.

Hey, all right. Hey, all right.

Who's the stranger?

He's all right. VBS.

A Black Shadow, huh?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Yeah, I can tell, 'cause
your lips are moving.

Now, you wouldn't be looking for
more than just kicks, would you?

I'm looking for trouble.

Maybe you're it.
Maybe you ain't.

Come on, you're
parking in with me.

Okay, come on.
Let's go get wasted.

Break them out, doc.

Hey.

All right, we're gonna
make a run tomorrow!

Gonna trash-can
that catering company.

Willie says we take them all.

We party with these guys
and nobody walks away.

Hey, I like that.

Then we roll out of there and
we take our stuff north. Okay?

What is it?

Who knows, brother,
you either fly or crash.

Hello.

Hey, hey, Jimmy, it's me.

Yeah, Coop?

You got it, pal, it's old Coop.

Coop, you sound funny.

I'm feeling funny. I'm
flying, brother. Beer, reds.

You're what?

No, no, now, listen up, listen up, listen
up 'cause... 'Cause I'm about to fall down.

Billy Bob Caterers tomorrow.

The Rattlers is
gonna rip the place.

And I need...

I need...

Hey, Coop?

Oh, boy.

Coop.

Cooper. Coop.

Ah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Look, I'm riding
with them. I'm... I...

Listen, I'm... I'm...

I'm with the Rattlers, Jimmy.

Now, you got to
take a look, see.

And see if these
bums are the ones.

Now, I'm riding with them, see.

And we're gonna
make a run tomorrow.

And...

Hey... Hey, Animal!
How you doing?

Hey, Animal!

What you doing down there, ace?

Hey, who is this?

Who is this?

Is this one of
them motorcycle...

Karen, you go back to your room.

Motorcycle bums? Who is this?

Hey, relax, daddy, or
I'll come and relax you.

Listen, you leave my
daughter alone, huh?

If any of you bums come
around here, I got a shotgun.

You hear me, boy?

Yeah, I hear you, daddy.
You tell Karen to sleep tight.

We'll be by in the morning.

Yeah, well...

She's so fine.

She's so fine.

She's so fine.

Nobody uses a
phone, ace. Nobody.

Yeah, well, when I get
ripped, I need a woman.

You just take yourself a mama.

But you don't seed
out. You got it?

Yeah. Hey, Animal. Animal,

you and me, are we gonna tangle?

Yeah, we are sure gonna do that.

How can you even
consider such a thing?

Dad, I feel responsible.

Responsible for what? 'Cause you drove
that little old gal up on a public road?

'Cause you jumped 20 maniacs?
'Cause you got your ribs all busted up?

Rocky, Coop somehow or other
is hooked up with those guys.

At least, he thinks he has.

And from all I can tell from
everybody I've talked to,

it has something to do with that catering
company, so I'm gonna stake it out.

Oh, boy.

If I'm gonna run a make on those guys, I
want Dennis waiting there in the weeds.

I want him there with
the Marine Division.

Yeah, you need Dennis all right.

You can't even get on
your shoes without help.

Dad, Coop's sister Gail is
sitting in a corner in a head ward.

Coop is out there riding
with those maniacs.

What am I supposed to do, just sit
around and wait to hear it on the news?

Yeah?

Jim, what are you doing at home?

You're supposed to be... I left.

All right, Dennis, I'm gonna need a
stakeout on Billy Bob Catering tomorrow.

Hey, I told you,
forget the caterers.

It's a very reputable company.

You keep bugging them and the
Deputy Chief runs me into the wall.

Dennis, Cooper's hooked
up with the Rattlers.

Aw, come on,
you're joking, right?

Hey, you want a joke? You just show up
at Billy Bob's Catering tomorrow morning.

You could die laughing.

Oh, Jim.

He'll show up. I know
Dennis. He'll show.

You said there was trouble, it's a picnic.
What kind of trouble were you expecting?

Maybe they rigged
the three-legged race?

All I know is Coop said the
Rattlers were gonna rip this place.

Maybe they're gonna come in here
and trash it after everybody leaves.

I doubt it. Bikers don't
usually rip empty buildings.

Half the fun for jerks like
that is scaring the straights.

I don't know all the answers.

You never sat on a deal when
you didn't know all the answers?

If I did on something, it's usually because
it's been cleared by the department.

I'm sorry, Jim, you said Cooper
admitted that he was up on something.

Maybe he read it wrong. I
don't think it's worth the time.

Besides, I got a full schedule
this morning without this.

And you, I think you ought to
check yourself back into the hospital.

Thanks, Dennis.

Okay, everybody's on the bus.

Yeah, let's get moving.

All right, burn them up.

Larry, bring me some
more charcoal, please.

Mom, he's spitting at me!

I don't believe it!

Get those kids out of here!

Coop! Come on!

Let's go!

Come on, let's go!
Get out of there!

Let's give it to them!
Chase them out of here!

Hey, get out of here!

If we're unlucky enough to
catch up with these dudes,

you got any brilliant plans
on how we should play it?

I don't know. I'll have
to give it some thought.

Yeah, please.

Hey, hey, I don't like it.
They're beginning to slow down.

Yeah, I don't like it either.

I don't know, Jim. If they get us
stopped, we're in a lot of trouble.

What's he got in his hand?

Look out! Look out! It's a rock!

I can't see. Can
you see over there?

Can't see a thing.

We're gonna have to stop it,
Coop, we're gonna have to stop!

Here they come. Here,
take this and stay in the truck.

I just want one shot at
Willie, that's all, just one!

I tried that, it don't
work. Now stay in here!

Worse comes to worse,
I'll drive right over them.

Hey, scab, come on!

Step out of there, stupid!

Come on, scab, come on!

Come on out! Roll down
the window, at least.

Come on, get out!

Come on, man. Goddamn...

There's the cops.

Drop to the ground,
or you're dead!

All right, Coop. Coop!

Coop, leave him alone!

Okay. Come on.

Okay, now don't
hit him, all right?

Okay.

Sure? Okay, okay.

Coop!

All right. All right.
Okay, okay, okay.

There's some more down the
road, they raided the picnic grounds.

Well, don't worry
about it, I got it covered.

For a guy with a busy
schedule, you sure get around.

Yeah, well, I went back to
the station and I got to worrying,

so I ran a deep
check on Robert Greis.

He's got a package that goes back
about 12 years, wasn't on the computer.

You'll never guess who
owns this catering company.

Well, let's see now. A
bunch of retired Rattlers?

Right, and all with outstanding
criminal charges against them.

I went back to the catering company and
they were gone. I ran into this old man.

He told me where the picnic was.

So I figured, well, I'd
better get over here

and see what trouble
you guys were into.

I... I don't feel too good.

Well, you don't
look too good, either.

But you never looked better,
Lieutenant. Never better.

That's right, Coop,
and don't forget it.

Hi.

Hi. Jim.

How you doing, honey?

I'm better.

Could I have a moment
alone with him, Johnny?

Well, I guess so.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I heard that you and
my brother got them.

Well, with a lot of help
from the police, yeah.

I've decided to
testify against them.

Johnny says it will be dangerous,
but I want them put away.

I'll be right there with you.

Jim.

Yeah?

Do you think...

I mean, is it okay if...

I was wondering...

We never had our date.

Oh, now, that was
my line. You jumped it.

But you probably don't
want to go out with me.

I mean, you just did it
because Johnny made...

That was last time.

I got to tell you something.

You're something special.

I'd be so happy to take you out.

You just name it, and out we go.
