Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:02,250 --> 00:00:05,879
Come on, what are you
afraid of? You wanna move in
on me?
2
00:00:07,322 --> 00:00:09,813
You guys aren't cops?
Not hardly.
3
00:00:11,593 --> 00:00:12,992
You gotta trust somebody.
4
00:00:13,061 --> 00:00:15,086
And you're applying
for the job?
5
00:00:15,864 --> 00:00:17,092
[Tires screeching]
6
00:00:18,666 --> 00:00:21,965
There was a man killed down
at the beach
and I was chasing the killer.
7
00:00:22,036 --> 00:00:23,765
On the ground, now.
8
00:00:23,838 --> 00:00:25,533
How are you feeling,
Mr. Rockford?
9
00:00:25,607 --> 00:00:28,098
Tell you the truth,
I'm scared to death.
10
00:00:34,349 --> 00:00:35,839
[Telephone ringing]
11
00:00:37,352 --> 00:00:39,343
(Rockford on
answering machine)
This is Jim Rockford.
12
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,149
At the tone,
leave your name and message.
13
00:00:41,222 --> 00:00:42,211
I'll get back to you.
14
00:00:42,290 --> 00:00:43,279
[Beeps]
15
00:00:43,391 --> 00:00:45,416
(man)
Hey, Rockford, very funny,
I ain't laughing.
16
00:00:45,493 --> 00:00:46,585
You're gonna get yours.
17
00:01:43,116 --> 00:01:44,105
[Rustling]
18
00:02:14,982 --> 00:02:18,247
How much further, miss?
About a mile more, I think.
19
00:02:37,471 --> 00:02:40,269
This is a long way
in the middle of nowhere.
20
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,375
(cab driver)
You just want me to drop you?
If you don't mind.
21
00:02:43,443 --> 00:02:44,432
[Laughs]
22
00:02:44,511 --> 00:02:46,308
I don't mind, honey.
23
00:02:46,380 --> 00:02:50,680
By the way,
I'm a Scorpio,
with Pisces ascending.
24
00:02:51,518 --> 00:02:54,453
How nice for you.
Yeah, it is.
25
00:02:55,122 --> 00:02:57,682
Scorpios are lucky at love,
you know.
26
00:02:58,225 --> 00:03:00,352
Luck has nothing
to do with it.
27
00:03:08,635 --> 00:03:11,263
Pull up right there
in that clearing, please.
28
00:03:28,255 --> 00:03:29,722
[Engine starting]
29
00:04:22,742 --> 00:04:24,141
[Birds chirping]
30
00:04:39,292 --> 00:04:40,816
Why, Countess,
you look lovely.
31
00:04:40,894 --> 00:04:43,556
You know, we're going to have
to stop meeting like this.
32
00:04:43,630 --> 00:04:45,427
You're not amusing, Carl.
33
00:04:45,665 --> 00:04:50,227
When you come on, you just get
slightly more vulgar,
if that's possible.
34
00:04:50,937 --> 00:04:52,598
Another rejection.
35
00:04:53,006 --> 00:04:56,965
You know, if I keep this up,
I'm just liable to plunge
myself into analysis.
36
00:04:57,043 --> 00:04:58,533
Let's hope so.
37
00:04:59,679 --> 00:05:00,941
May I?
38
00:05:03,416 --> 00:05:05,145
What do we have...
39
00:05:05,919 --> 00:05:09,753
A tape recorder.
Surprise, surprise.
40
00:05:14,861 --> 00:05:16,852
Here you are.
Thank you.
41
00:05:16,930 --> 00:05:17,919
[Laughs]
42
00:05:18,465 --> 00:05:20,865
You know, I get
a big kick out of you,
Countess.
43
00:05:20,934 --> 00:05:23,334
You don't know
how much that pleases me.
44
00:05:23,537 --> 00:05:26,995
Yeah, you have this dangerous
tendency to underrate people.
45
00:05:27,073 --> 00:05:30,600
I guess it comes from hanging
out with too many phonies
and socialites.
46
00:05:30,677 --> 00:05:34,204
Not like in Chicago.
Back then,
you were streetwise.
47
00:05:34,281 --> 00:05:37,114
You wouldn't have pulled
a dumb trick like this.
48
00:05:39,119 --> 00:05:42,282
You got some guy in the bushes
with a high-speed camera?
49
00:05:42,489 --> 00:05:44,753
Sound, lights, camera, action?
50
00:05:44,824 --> 00:05:48,089
Cute and kind of sweet
in a stupid way.
51
00:05:48,962 --> 00:05:53,296
You work so hard
at being Cary Grant. Life just
isn't that fascinating.
52
00:05:53,667 --> 00:05:55,965
And who'd know better
than you?
53
00:05:58,338 --> 00:06:01,205
Okay, Countess,
you wanna talk, we'll talk,
but not out here.
54
00:06:01,274 --> 00:06:04,300
You wanna talk, we'll go
in my car. It's not wired.
55
00:06:07,814 --> 00:06:08,803
[Car buzzes]
56
00:06:09,849 --> 00:06:11,146
[Car door closing]
57
00:06:11,218 --> 00:06:12,207
Come on.
58
00:06:30,570 --> 00:06:32,367
(policeman)
What are you doing here?
59
00:06:56,329 --> 00:06:58,320
(policeman)
What are you doing here?
60
00:07:00,734 --> 00:07:01,860
What was that?
61
00:07:01,935 --> 00:07:05,098
It was a cop.
He caught me
in a fire hazard area.
62
00:07:05,538 --> 00:07:07,301
Couldn't go through
that again.
63
00:07:07,374 --> 00:07:10,605
Just sitting in the same car
with him made my flesh crawl.
64
00:07:12,078 --> 00:07:13,602
We didn't get enough, did we?
65
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,376
No. Now we need
the soundtrack.
66
00:07:16,683 --> 00:07:17,672
[Sighs]
67
00:07:18,151 --> 00:07:21,780
Look at that. I haven't been
that nervous
since I left Chicago.
68
00:07:29,863 --> 00:07:33,765
You certainly reduce things
to their
lowest common denominator.
69
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,594
It's a plastic world.
If you don't like it
that way...
70
00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:39,332
I can give it to you
in a cheese glass, Countess.
71
00:07:39,406 --> 00:07:41,397
My name is Deborah Ryder.
72
00:07:42,108 --> 00:07:44,269
Let's add it up.
73
00:07:44,744 --> 00:07:48,236
I talked to a friend of mine.
He used to work
with him back East.
74
00:07:48,315 --> 00:07:52,718
The rumor is that he's got
nine scalps hanging
from his belt.
75
00:07:53,086 --> 00:07:54,917
If I'm gonna stay involved...
76
00:07:54,988 --> 00:07:58,185
you're gonna have to keep me
better informed
about what's going on.
77
00:07:58,258 --> 00:08:01,955
You know all you need to know.
I'm being blackmailed.
78
00:08:02,028 --> 00:08:04,223
I need some help
in getting rid of the man.
79
00:08:04,297 --> 00:08:07,289
You surely don't expect me
to tell you
what he's got on me.
80
00:08:07,367 --> 00:08:09,130
That would be stupid.
81
00:08:09,602 --> 00:08:13,504
I just might wind up
with two blackmailers
instead of one.
82
00:08:15,108 --> 00:08:17,906
When were you in Chicago?
You never told me that.
83
00:08:17,977 --> 00:08:20,104
Is that where you knew Carl?
84
00:08:21,781 --> 00:08:24,215
I think I've had enough
for today.
85
00:08:24,551 --> 00:08:29,045
If you'll just tell me what's
going on, maybe I can tie
a can to his tail.
86
00:08:29,155 --> 00:08:33,558
I need that much leverage
to make it work. You've got
to trust somebody.
87
00:08:33,893 --> 00:08:36,794
And you're applying
for the job? How sweet.
88
00:08:48,441 --> 00:08:49,908
Try that one.
89
00:08:51,010 --> 00:08:52,534
You know,
Arnold thinks that...
90
00:08:52,612 --> 00:08:54,580
we should spend
the whole season in Europe...
91
00:08:54,647 --> 00:08:56,512
and I'm beginning to think
he's right.
92
00:08:56,583 --> 00:08:59,643
We did get to know
quite a few titled people...
93
00:09:00,220 --> 00:09:02,654
and LA is getting quite tacky.
94
00:09:03,456 --> 00:09:05,617
Did you meet the Countess
in Europe?
95
00:09:05,692 --> 00:09:07,523
I met her at Marineland.
96
00:09:08,194 --> 00:09:09,889
How strange.
97
00:09:09,963 --> 00:09:13,228
I run the hot dog concession
next to the
killer whale exhibit.
98
00:09:13,299 --> 00:09:16,200
The Countess loves
my foot-longs.
I make them great.
99
00:09:16,269 --> 00:09:17,896
Lots of chili and hot mustard.
100
00:09:17,971 --> 00:09:20,804
I have a secret, you know.
I precook the hot dogs...
101
00:09:20,874 --> 00:09:22,307
then I wrap them
in cellophane.
102
00:09:22,375 --> 00:09:25,811
That's the secret. Cellophane.
Keeps them from getting tough.
103
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,977
Would you excuse me?
Yes.
104
00:09:36,589 --> 00:09:38,250
[Woman laughing]
105
00:09:41,828 --> 00:09:43,728
(Ryder)
You're Jim Rockford,
aren't you?
106
00:09:44,898 --> 00:09:48,163
The Countess told me
all about you. I'm Mike Ryder.
107
00:09:48,635 --> 00:09:50,500
Hi, Mike. It's a nice party.
108
00:09:51,304 --> 00:09:54,705
If you want my opinion,
they're a bunch
of social-climbing creeps...
109
00:09:54,774 --> 00:09:57,436
but it fills up the place,
so what's the difference?
110
00:09:58,144 --> 00:09:59,406
[All cheering]
111
00:10:01,214 --> 00:10:03,944
Who's the one cavorting
in the pool?
112
00:10:04,384 --> 00:10:07,751
That's Carl Brego,
land development syndicator.
113
00:10:08,154 --> 00:10:10,054
Countess says
she knew you in school.
114
00:10:10,123 --> 00:10:12,148
Yeah, right. School.
115
00:10:12,225 --> 00:10:14,557
Then you knew her
before she was a countess.
116
00:10:14,627 --> 00:10:17,118
Yeah. Well,
it's kind of hard...
117
00:10:17,197 --> 00:10:19,563
to get used to calling
her that, the Countess.
118
00:10:19,632 --> 00:10:21,827
She doesn't like to be called
the Countess.
119
00:10:21,901 --> 00:10:25,962
When she married me, she lost
her title. She wants to be
called Mrs. Ryder.
120
00:10:26,973 --> 00:10:30,534
Look at that.
That's Sally Norris.
121
00:10:30,610 --> 00:10:34,046
Her daddy's a big investor
in one of my oil fields.
122
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:36,007
She's only 17.
123
00:10:36,382 --> 00:10:40,011
I got half a mind to go
over there and hand
that big ape his head.
124
00:10:40,220 --> 00:10:42,120
He looks like
he might be hard to take.
125
00:10:42,188 --> 00:10:44,418
I saw him go after
a guy at a party once.
126
00:10:44,491 --> 00:10:48,587
He pretends to shake your hand
and then tries to kick
your kneecap off.
127
00:10:50,096 --> 00:10:52,257
Excuse me,
I'm gonna break that up.
128
00:10:55,668 --> 00:10:56,930
[Woman laughing]
129
00:11:14,254 --> 00:11:15,915
[People laughing]
130
00:11:32,272 --> 00:11:34,001
You were right, you know.
131
00:11:34,674 --> 00:11:37,768
I first met Carl Brego
in Chicago 15 years ago.
132
00:11:38,244 --> 00:11:40,712
Even then
you could tell he was crazy.
133
00:11:41,948 --> 00:11:46,715
I was 18, fresh off the bus
from southern Illinois.
134
00:11:47,754 --> 00:11:49,688
Got a job in a restaurant.
135
00:11:50,123 --> 00:11:53,490
Didn't know it, but the mob
used the place
as a numbers drop.
136
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:55,460
Carl Brego was the bagman.
137
00:11:56,129 --> 00:12:00,088
He used to come in every day
at noon and pick up
an order to go.
138
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,533
You thought he was picking up
tuna sandwiches for his boss?
139
00:12:06,205 --> 00:12:10,039
Then I met a man
who was handsome,
sophisticated.
140
00:12:11,311 --> 00:12:13,040
I fell madly in love.
141
00:12:15,148 --> 00:12:16,615
Same old story.
142
00:12:17,684 --> 00:12:20,084
He was a roper
for the syndicate.
143
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,683
He didn't care anything
about me,
except as merchandise.
144
00:12:25,558 --> 00:12:28,789
Later on, I found out
it was Carl Brego
who'd teed me up.
145
00:12:30,463 --> 00:12:32,454
Are you following me?
Yeah.
146
00:12:34,233 --> 00:12:37,691
Three years later
I was arrested
by the Chicago police.
147
00:12:39,205 --> 00:12:41,105
I got out on bail...
148
00:12:41,874 --> 00:12:45,310
and I was so scared
that I'd go to jail, I ran.
149
00:12:47,580 --> 00:12:51,641
I had a friend who helped me
get a passport
under a different name.
150
00:12:52,218 --> 00:12:55,847
Changed my appearance,
lost 15 pounds,
went to Europe.
151
00:12:57,523 --> 00:13:01,050
And then I met Count Bertoli
and he married me.
152
00:13:01,561 --> 00:13:03,825
And there I was,
La Contessa Bertoli.
153
00:13:05,465 --> 00:13:09,026
Anyway, after the Count died,
I met Mike in Florence.
154
00:13:10,103 --> 00:13:12,230
He was like
a breath of fresh air.
155
00:13:13,373 --> 00:13:15,967
We were married,
and we came back here.
156
00:13:16,209 --> 00:13:18,507
One day, at a party
in Bel Air...
157
00:13:19,779 --> 00:13:22,373
two months ago,
there was Carl Brego.
158
00:13:23,182 --> 00:13:25,377
Did he approach you right off?
159
00:13:25,518 --> 00:13:29,352
He didn't recognize me.
I could tell
he was troubled about it.
160
00:13:30,023 --> 00:13:33,254
And then, a month later,
he must have put it
all together...
161
00:13:33,326 --> 00:13:37,262
because I met him
at another party
and he asked me to dance.
162
00:13:38,765 --> 00:13:41,359
While we were on the
dance floor, he began...
163
00:13:42,068 --> 00:13:44,536
to whisper profanities
into my ear.
164
00:13:45,738 --> 00:13:49,003
He must have some kind of
connection with the
Chicago police force...
165
00:13:49,075 --> 00:13:51,976
because he's got a Xerox
of my whole file.
He showed it to me.
166
00:13:52,045 --> 00:13:55,344
I think you should tell Mike.
I think he can stand it.
167
00:13:55,581 --> 00:13:59,108
Mike was born in a hovel.
He never made it past
the fifth grade.
168
00:13:59,285 --> 00:14:02,015
He made a fortune
and he married a countess.
169
00:14:02,088 --> 00:14:05,580
That's not why he married me,
but it's important to him.
170
00:14:05,658 --> 00:14:07,785
I would like to save that
for him.
171
00:14:08,094 --> 00:14:10,289
And maybe save it
for yourself, too?
172
00:14:11,731 --> 00:14:13,460
I think I like you.
173
00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:17,563
You certainly aren't impressed
by the fact
that I once had a title.
174
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:19,661
I knew a guy a while back.
175
00:14:19,739 --> 00:14:22,333
He was a torpedo
for the mob...
176
00:14:22,408 --> 00:14:25,809
and he had little
business cards printed up...
177
00:14:25,878 --> 00:14:28,438
and on it,
it said
"independent contractor"...
178
00:14:28,514 --> 00:14:31,813
and then his name,
and under that
it said "hit man."
179
00:14:33,052 --> 00:14:35,953
That's really the only title
that ever impressed me.
180
00:14:36,756 --> 00:14:38,986
Now, you're just a girl
from southern Illinois...
181
00:14:39,058 --> 00:14:41,754
and if you want,
I'll try and help you.
182
00:14:47,033 --> 00:14:48,364
[Seagulls cawing]
183
00:15:02,849 --> 00:15:04,077
[Leah laughing]
184
00:15:09,255 --> 00:15:10,415
[Carl laughing]
185
00:15:22,869 --> 00:15:24,336
[Leah continues laughing]
186
00:15:39,786 --> 00:15:42,050
The Sewards aren't here.
I'm renting.
187
00:15:45,191 --> 00:15:47,785
I said...
I heard what you said, Carl.
188
00:15:49,195 --> 00:15:51,493
Have we met before, sport?
No.
189
00:15:51,564 --> 00:15:52,929
Who is it, Carl?
190
00:15:53,132 --> 00:15:54,599
Shut up, Leah.
191
00:15:54,934 --> 00:15:58,836
Look, you got some business
with me, or you just looking
in the window?
192
00:15:59,438 --> 00:16:03,135
I got a message
from the Countess.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
193
00:16:04,076 --> 00:16:07,603
You don't wanna talk in front
of Leah, sport.
I'm gonna make you look bad.
194
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,343
Is that so?
Well, won't be the first time.
195
00:16:14,954 --> 00:16:16,945
(Leah)
Where are you going, Carl?
196
00:16:22,862 --> 00:16:25,262
Okay, friend,
what's the message?
197
00:16:25,832 --> 00:16:28,801
Well, I'll tell you, Carl.
It's like this.
198
00:16:30,169 --> 00:16:32,000
I'm taking over the account.
199
00:16:33,072 --> 00:16:35,267
I don't know
what you're talking about.
200
00:16:35,341 --> 00:16:38,105
I know about
the Countess and Chicago.
201
00:16:38,477 --> 00:16:41,776
I'm running a little low
on funds, so I'll start
squeezing her myself.
202
00:16:41,848 --> 00:16:45,215
So I thought maybe
you and I should have
a little understanding...
203
00:16:45,284 --> 00:16:46,842
clear the decks first.
204
00:16:46,919 --> 00:16:49,444
See, I don't like
getting bumped in the curves.
205
00:16:49,522 --> 00:16:52,423
So, if I see you
hanging around her again...
206
00:16:52,825 --> 00:16:55,692
I'm gonna come down here
and pound your mouth
full of sand...
207
00:16:55,761 --> 00:16:57,786
and drop you off
the end of the pier.
208
00:16:57,864 --> 00:17:00,697
Hey, pal, slow down.
What are you getting
all excited about?
209
00:17:00,766 --> 00:17:03,758
I don't know what
you're talking about,
I really don't.
210
00:17:03,836 --> 00:17:05,997
I've also got you
on videotape.
211
00:17:06,205 --> 00:17:09,038
Like a screen test, kind of?
Yeah, sort of.
212
00:17:10,509 --> 00:17:15,105
And what happens if I tell you
to shinny up a rope?
213
00:17:16,682 --> 00:17:18,980
The videotape goes
to the cops.
214
00:17:19,218 --> 00:17:22,119
It seems to me
that it would put you
out of business, too.
215
00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:23,450
I'm reckless.
216
00:17:23,823 --> 00:17:24,812
[Laughing]
217
00:17:26,225 --> 00:17:28,557
I like you, sport.
You got guts.
218
00:17:29,161 --> 00:17:31,459
I've also got
the Countess concession.
219
00:17:31,664 --> 00:17:33,825
Right. You got it.
Hey, be my guest.
220
00:17:34,367 --> 00:17:37,063
See, I was only shaking
her down for the fun of it.
221
00:17:37,136 --> 00:17:40,867
You know, I kind of like
to see her squirm.
She's a phony.
222
00:17:41,340 --> 00:17:45,674
Listen, you got my blessings.
You know what?
I hope you jerk her under.
223
00:17:53,019 --> 00:17:54,008
[Grunting]
224
00:17:55,855 --> 00:17:59,052
Okay, you're through,
hot shot. Come on.
225
00:18:01,093 --> 00:18:03,823
You want some? Come on.
226
00:18:05,398 --> 00:18:08,561
You want a little bit?
Come on, you wanna move in
on me?
227
00:18:10,336 --> 00:18:13,237
Come on, now.
Here we go. Don't be afraid.
228
00:18:22,381 --> 00:18:23,370
[Grunts]
229
00:18:30,623 --> 00:18:31,988
[Gun firing]
230
00:18:36,462 --> 00:18:37,952
How about that?
231
00:18:40,533 --> 00:18:42,000
[Seagulls cawing]
232
00:18:47,540 --> 00:18:48,529
[Exclaiming]
233
00:18:57,316 --> 00:18:58,305
[Engine starting]
234
00:18:58,417 --> 00:18:59,509
[Tires screeching]
235
00:19:02,955 --> 00:19:04,149
[Engine starting]
236
00:19:43,728 --> 00:19:45,320
[Police siren wailing]
237
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:25,261
Okay, mister, on the ground.
238
00:20:25,336 --> 00:20:28,703
There was a man killed down
at the beach
and I was chasing the killer.
239
00:20:28,773 --> 00:20:30,570
On the ground, now.
240
00:20:49,494 --> 00:20:52,657
I told you,
I was chasing the guy
that killed him.
241
00:20:57,869 --> 00:20:59,700
1-Mary-10 to Control.
242
00:20:59,771 --> 00:21:03,434
I have your 157 suspect
in custody.
243
00:21:03,675 --> 00:21:06,644
Send a backup
and put out a Code 4.
244
00:21:06,711 --> 00:21:08,838
A 157?
What are you talking about?
245
00:21:08,913 --> 00:21:11,711
I didn't kill anybody.
I told you,
I was chasing the guy.
246
00:21:11,783 --> 00:21:14,684
He was driving
a white Porsche.
He did the killing.
247
00:21:14,752 --> 00:21:17,084
I got a lieutenant coming.
You can tell him.
248
00:21:17,589 --> 00:21:19,614
Well?
That's the man.
249
00:21:19,691 --> 00:21:21,522
He's the one
we saw at the beach.
250
00:21:21,593 --> 00:21:24,687
I was on the beach.
I saw these people,
but I didn't kill anybody.
251
00:21:24,762 --> 00:21:27,925
Listen, you knock it off
for a minute.
You'll get your chance.
252
00:21:27,999 --> 00:21:29,432
Is there anything else?
253
00:21:29,501 --> 00:21:32,265
It did look like
they were fighting.
Oh, yeah?
254
00:21:33,705 --> 00:21:35,002
How about that?
255
00:21:35,173 --> 00:21:37,505
Lieutenant, if you just
ask them about the rifle...
256
00:21:37,575 --> 00:21:39,440
we can clear this thing
up in a hurry.
257
00:21:39,511 --> 00:21:43,038
I wanna know if
you were fighting with Brego
when he got killed.
258
00:21:45,483 --> 00:21:47,815
Yeah, sort of.
Sort of?
259
00:21:48,620 --> 00:21:52,078
Okay, I was fighting with him,
but I wasn't trying
to kill him.
260
00:21:52,323 --> 00:21:56,487
He was a very dangerous man.
We got a file on Brego
two inches thick.
261
00:21:56,561 --> 00:21:57,994
Brego was a flip-top.
262
00:21:58,062 --> 00:22:00,758
If you were fighting,
you can bet
he was trying to kill you.
263
00:22:00,832 --> 00:22:03,528
He'd have caved your head in
and sent you out
with the tide.
264
00:22:03,601 --> 00:22:06,035
He was shot
with a rifle from a cliff.
265
00:22:06,237 --> 00:22:09,263
I saw these people,
but I wasn't carrying a rifle.
266
00:22:11,743 --> 00:22:13,677
Did he have a rifle?
No.
267
00:22:15,547 --> 00:22:17,344
Did he have a pistol?
268
00:22:17,415 --> 00:22:18,780
He could have.
269
00:22:18,850 --> 00:22:21,910
As a matter of fact,
he did have something
in his hand.
270
00:22:22,687 --> 00:22:25,520
He was shot with a rifle.
I didn't have a rifle.
271
00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:27,558
Now, I wanna get out of here.
272
00:22:28,126 --> 00:22:31,186
According to the coroner,
he was shot...
273
00:22:32,497 --> 00:22:35,193
with a 7.65 mm slug.
274
00:22:35,466 --> 00:22:38,629
It could have come out
of anything.
A rifle, a pistol.
275
00:22:38,937 --> 00:22:41,303
Of course,
there's no way of telling...
276
00:22:41,372 --> 00:22:44,000
'cause the slug was a dumdum
and it's in a hundred pieces.
277
00:22:44,075 --> 00:22:45,667
Where's my lawyer?
278
00:22:47,745 --> 00:22:49,542
Is Rockford's attorney
out there yet?
279
00:22:49,614 --> 00:22:51,047
(woman)
Not yet, sir.
280
00:22:51,883 --> 00:22:52,872
Nope.
281
00:22:54,752 --> 00:22:56,845
Thanks very much
for coming in.
282
00:23:02,927 --> 00:23:05,225
Just down the hallway
and to the left.
283
00:23:13,738 --> 00:23:15,467
Doesn't look good,
Mr. Rockford.
284
00:23:15,540 --> 00:23:17,906
No, sir, it doesn't look good
at all.
285
00:23:19,010 --> 00:23:22,741
You got a right to consult
with your attorney,
but I got a suggestion.
286
00:23:22,814 --> 00:23:24,304
Well, let me guess.
287
00:23:24,882 --> 00:23:27,942
If I confess,
you'll get me off
with 20 to life...
288
00:23:28,019 --> 00:23:32,012
and then you'll make sure that
the warden puts me in a cell
with color TV.
289
00:23:34,125 --> 00:23:38,357
Tell you what. I'll call
the DA in here,
and we'll settle this quick.
290
00:23:38,663 --> 00:23:41,632
You were fighting with Brego.
Brego pulled a piece...
291
00:23:41,699 --> 00:23:44,259
you took it away from him,
the gun went off.
292
00:23:44,335 --> 00:23:46,735
Involuntary manslaughter.
We plead it before a judge.
293
00:23:46,804 --> 00:23:48,829
You end up maybe doing a year,
county time.
294
00:23:48,906 --> 00:23:52,103
Come on, Lieutenant.
I didn't come down
with yesterday's rain.
295
00:23:52,176 --> 00:23:54,906
You got a
very creaky case here,
all of it circumstantial.
296
00:23:54,979 --> 00:23:56,003
You don't have a motive...
297
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,844
and those two old people
aren't gonna make
good witnesses.
298
00:23:58,916 --> 00:24:01,749
A good attorney could blow
them off in 10 minutes.
299
00:24:01,819 --> 00:24:04,413
You yardbird lawyers
really hand me a laugh.
300
00:24:04,489 --> 00:24:06,650
I told you
I got a call from Brego.
301
00:24:06,724 --> 00:24:10,023
He didn't give me his name
on the phone,
but he wanted to retain me.
302
00:24:10,094 --> 00:24:12,028
So I went down to the beach
to meet him.
303
00:24:12,096 --> 00:24:15,554
When I got there, I knew
who he was and told him
I didn't work for hoods.
304
00:24:15,633 --> 00:24:17,464
So he blew his stack
and started swinging.
305
00:24:17,535 --> 00:24:20,060
Next thing I knew,
there was a shot
and he went down.
306
00:24:20,138 --> 00:24:22,936
You're crud, Rockford.
You know it and I know it.
307
00:24:23,241 --> 00:24:25,471
You got a record
and you done time.
308
00:24:25,710 --> 00:24:28,110
The courts ain't gonna waste
much time with you.
309
00:24:28,179 --> 00:24:30,670
You're gonna get down
the chute in a hurry.
310
00:24:31,215 --> 00:24:32,204
Let's go.
311
00:24:49,198 --> 00:24:50,825
Where have you been, Beth?
312
00:24:50,900 --> 00:24:53,460
I was in court,
filing a report on a felony,
hit-and-run.
313
00:24:53,536 --> 00:24:54,764
I got here as fast as I could.
314
00:24:54,837 --> 00:24:58,273
I'm gonna turn him over
to the jailer.
You can talk to him there.
315
00:24:58,341 --> 00:25:01,708
Hold on a second, Lieutenant.
Let me finish
this A.R. Report.
316
00:25:04,447 --> 00:25:05,971
This is all you have?
317
00:25:07,316 --> 00:25:08,442
Okay, Lieutenant...
318
00:25:08,517 --> 00:25:12,214
I haven't spoken
to my client yet, but I think
you can ease off a little.
319
00:25:12,288 --> 00:25:13,915
Is that so, honey?
320
00:25:14,123 --> 00:25:16,216
I'm an attorney,
Lieutenant Diel.
321
00:25:16,325 --> 00:25:18,316
I expect to be treated
as such.
322
00:25:18,894 --> 00:25:20,862
My name is Ms. Davenport.
323
00:25:21,297 --> 00:25:24,323
You call me "honey" again,
you'll hear about it
from your captain.
324
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,096
I'm still gonna book
this jailbird.
For what?
325
00:25:27,303 --> 00:25:28,793
Material witness, for now.
326
00:25:28,871 --> 00:25:31,431
No, you're not.
You're gonna book him
for murder one.
327
00:25:31,507 --> 00:25:32,701
Beth.
Shut up, Jim.
328
00:25:32,775 --> 00:25:35,005
Look, I'm gonna book...
You want him as a witness.
329
00:25:35,077 --> 00:25:38,171
He'll stipulate to that
and I'll guarantee
his presence in court...
330
00:25:38,247 --> 00:25:40,306
if this thing
ever gets to court.
331
00:25:40,383 --> 00:25:42,317
(Davenport)
Carl Brego was a hoodlum.
332
00:25:42,618 --> 00:25:46,019
You and I both know
he was probably killed
by the underworld.
333
00:25:46,389 --> 00:25:48,118
But if you book
Mr. Rockford...
334
00:25:48,190 --> 00:25:51,023
as a material witness
under these circumstances...
335
00:25:51,260 --> 00:25:55,026
I'm going to bring action
against you and this
department for harassment...
336
00:25:55,097 --> 00:25:57,292
and you will end up
getting your next promotion...
337
00:25:57,366 --> 00:25:59,357
around the
turn of the century.
338
00:26:02,605 --> 00:26:04,072
Wait here a minute.
339
00:26:05,107 --> 00:26:07,837
Beth, murder one?
Are you nuts?
340
00:26:08,077 --> 00:26:09,339
You gotta push them.
341
00:26:09,412 --> 00:26:12,609
I don't think they
can make it, and it's
the only charge they have.
342
00:26:12,681 --> 00:26:15,172
We'll see.
Isn't that
a little dangerous?
343
00:26:15,584 --> 00:26:16,676
Yes.
344
00:26:17,353 --> 00:26:18,377
[Sighs]
345
00:26:18,454 --> 00:26:20,285
All right, Ms. Davenport.
346
00:26:20,523 --> 00:26:22,684
We're not gonna book him yet.
347
00:26:23,626 --> 00:26:25,253
Come on, Jim. Let's go.
348
00:26:25,327 --> 00:26:27,795
I'm gonna be
on you like a bad case of flu.
349
00:26:27,863 --> 00:26:31,629
You get even close
to an airport or bus station
and you're gonna be in here...
350
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:33,224
reading the graffiti.
351
00:26:34,904 --> 00:26:36,633
What about the girl, Leah?
352
00:26:36,705 --> 00:26:39,435
If the cops turn her up,
she could be
a problem for you...
353
00:26:39,508 --> 00:26:41,874
especially if she heard
you threaten him.
354
00:26:41,944 --> 00:26:44,344
Let's just hope
they don't find her.
355
00:26:46,415 --> 00:26:49,043
You're parked in a red zone.
I always do that.
356
00:26:49,118 --> 00:26:51,586
They never give tickets
in front
of the police station.
357
00:26:51,654 --> 00:26:53,747
It's a psychological
neutral zone.
358
00:26:53,823 --> 00:26:55,415
I gotta get a new attorney.
359
00:26:55,491 --> 00:26:57,686
What do you mean?
You're out, aren't you?
360
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,955
But you haven't thrown
the hook yet.
361
00:27:00,696 --> 00:27:02,186
Diel isn't sure about you.
362
00:27:02,264 --> 00:27:03,424
He'd like it to be you...
363
00:27:03,499 --> 00:27:06,627
because that would be easy
and satisfy his tidiness urge.
364
00:27:06,702 --> 00:27:08,636
He's got a case,
but it's not good enough.
365
00:27:08,704 --> 00:27:11,571
He'll never get a booking
with it, but it's close.
366
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,871
So, all he's got to do is
to get Mr. And Mrs...
What's their name?
367
00:27:14,944 --> 00:27:16,605
Tibbett.
Tibbett.
368
00:27:16,879 --> 00:27:19,677
To say that they saw you
with a gun in your hand.
369
00:27:20,850 --> 00:27:24,377
Then there's also the
possibility that whoever
really killed him...
370
00:27:24,453 --> 00:27:25,886
Jim?
Yeah.
371
00:27:26,188 --> 00:27:28,850
Did you kill him?
That's just great.
372
00:27:29,024 --> 00:27:31,390
What is that?
Kind of an afterthought?
373
00:27:31,627 --> 00:27:34,494
I'm sorry,
it's just
a routine attorney's question.
374
00:27:34,663 --> 00:27:37,530
There's the possibility
that whoever
really killed him...
375
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,366
is gonna pony up
a fake witness against you,
just to clear the books.
376
00:27:43,739 --> 00:27:46,037
You have
any more comforting thoughts?
377
00:27:46,509 --> 00:27:49,239
I've gotta get back to court.
I'll call you tonight.
378
00:27:49,311 --> 00:27:52,371
Thanks for fitting me
in, Beth.
I really appreciate it.
379
00:28:15,538 --> 00:28:16,527
[Beeps]
380
00:29:29,044 --> 00:29:30,477
Countess, I want
to talk to you.
381
00:29:30,546 --> 00:29:34,539
Just a minute, Jim.
I've only got five minutes
left of my lesson. Okay, Terry
382
00:29:34,617 --> 00:29:36,778
Now.
You heard
the Countess, buddy.
383
00:29:36,852 --> 00:29:38,217
This can't wait.
384
00:29:38,787 --> 00:29:41,620
If the Countess says
five minutes,
it can wait five minutes.
385
00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:45,751
All right, I don't want
to interrupt. You go ahead
and play, and I'll talk.
386
00:29:48,130 --> 00:29:50,291
The cops think
I killed Carl Brego.
387
00:29:51,033 --> 00:29:53,900
He was shot dead on the beach
about four hours ago.
388
00:29:54,169 --> 00:29:57,935
Course, I didn't kill him,
but since you're the one
that sent me to meet him...
389
00:29:58,007 --> 00:30:02,103
I just have to think that
you were trying to set me up
to take a murder rap.
390
00:30:03,846 --> 00:30:06,815
Terry, would you
excuse us, please?
Who is this guy?
391
00:30:06,882 --> 00:30:09,942
No, go ahead
and finish your lesson.
I hate to interrupt.
392
00:30:10,019 --> 00:30:12,510
Terry, you can go now.
That's all for today.
393
00:30:12,588 --> 00:30:14,215
Are you okay, Countess?
394
00:30:14,590 --> 00:30:16,683
You want,
I can run this guy off.
395
00:30:16,859 --> 00:30:19,054
I wouldn't try it, Terry.
I'm in a bad mood today.
396
00:30:19,128 --> 00:30:22,188
I'm liable to make you eat
the tennis balls
in that basket.
397
00:30:22,264 --> 00:30:25,062
Now, you gather the rest
of your things and scoot.
398
00:30:29,405 --> 00:30:31,100
What do you mean,
"Carl's dead"?
399
00:30:31,173 --> 00:30:35,007
You know he's dead.
You sent me down there
to get nominated for it.
400
00:30:35,177 --> 00:30:37,441
I don't know
what you're talking about.
401
00:30:37,513 --> 00:30:41,142
That frame wasn't quite
tight enough. I managed
to squeeze out from under it.
402
00:30:41,216 --> 00:30:43,741
But I'm walking around
on a very thin pass.
403
00:30:43,886 --> 00:30:47,117
Jim, you didn't...
Tell the police about you?
No. Not yet.
404
00:30:47,556 --> 00:30:48,989
I'm on my way down there now.
405
00:30:49,058 --> 00:30:51,652
I'm gonna give you
about a minute
and a half, Countess...
406
00:30:51,727 --> 00:30:53,592
to convince me
you didn't set me up.
407
00:30:53,662 --> 00:30:55,254
But I'm warning you...
408
00:30:55,631 --> 00:30:57,292
you better make it good...
409
00:30:57,366 --> 00:31:00,494
'cause I'm not working
for you now,
I'm working for me.
410
00:31:00,836 --> 00:31:01,894
All right.
411
00:31:02,104 --> 00:31:04,629
Just give me a minute.
I need time to think.
412
00:31:05,140 --> 00:31:06,971
Yeah, that's what I thought.
413
00:31:07,076 --> 00:31:08,543
I'll see you, Countess.
414
00:31:08,610 --> 00:31:11,545
Please. Look,
I didn't set you up.
415
00:31:13,248 --> 00:31:15,808
You promised me
you wouldn't tell anybody
about Chicago.
416
00:31:15,884 --> 00:31:18,284
You gave me your word,
or I wouldn't have told you.
417
00:31:18,353 --> 00:31:20,446
I said I'd protect you
if you didn't lie to me.
418
00:31:20,522 --> 00:31:23,116
I didn't lie to you.
Carl's death is a shock to me.
419
00:31:23,192 --> 00:31:25,251
I swear to you that
I had nothing to do with it.
420
00:31:25,327 --> 00:31:27,727
Come on,
you're gonna have to do
better than that.
421
00:31:27,796 --> 00:31:29,696
And the police
won't believe you either...
422
00:31:29,765 --> 00:31:33,132
particularly when I tell them
that your motive
was blackmail.
423
00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:37,928
No, your best bet
to stay out of prison is
to plead temporary insanity.
424
00:31:38,006 --> 00:31:39,530
Who knows, you may get lucky.
425
00:31:39,608 --> 00:31:42,406
They'll toss you in
one of those
head-basket wards.
426
00:31:42,478 --> 00:31:43,604
I'll deny it.
427
00:31:43,679 --> 00:31:47,240
With Carl dead, there's no way
to prove anything.
They'll never believe you.
428
00:31:47,316 --> 00:31:49,716
Come on, honey,
I got you on videotape.
429
00:31:49,785 --> 00:31:53,016
Remember?
Carl taking the purse
from you, all that?
430
00:31:54,656 --> 00:31:56,385
Please wait. Listen.
431
00:31:57,659 --> 00:31:59,650
I'll buy the tape.
I'll pay you.
432
00:32:00,195 --> 00:32:02,186
I'll pay you anything
you want.
433
00:32:02,464 --> 00:32:04,398
All right. How about $100,000?
434
00:32:07,970 --> 00:32:09,699
I really misjudged you,
didn't I?
435
00:32:09,772 --> 00:32:11,637
You crawled out
from under a rock.
436
00:32:11,707 --> 00:32:15,734
You see, I've got this
little problem. Every time
I get indicted for murder...
437
00:32:15,811 --> 00:32:17,745
I seem to lose all my manners.
438
00:32:19,148 --> 00:32:20,206
All right.
439
00:32:21,850 --> 00:32:23,750
I'll raise the money somehow.
440
00:32:24,086 --> 00:32:27,954
But you've got to promise me
to give me the videotapes
and keep your mouth shut.
441
00:32:28,023 --> 00:32:30,116
You will?
I said I'd pay you.
442
00:32:31,660 --> 00:32:34,891
I don't have the
videotapes anymore.
Somebody erased them.
443
00:32:35,731 --> 00:32:38,291
I thought it was you,
but I guess it wasn't.
444
00:32:38,700 --> 00:32:40,224
I told you the truth.
445
00:32:41,003 --> 00:32:43,130
Now you have to keep
your promise, too.
446
00:32:43,205 --> 00:32:46,402
I just don't know where
to go now. I thought it
was a gang killing.
447
00:32:46,475 --> 00:32:48,841
Do you know a girl
by the name of Leah?
448
00:32:49,645 --> 00:32:50,634
No.
449
00:32:50,846 --> 00:32:53,815
I might find out something
from her about Carl.
450
00:32:54,049 --> 00:32:56,950
He was living with her,
dating her, something.
I don't know.
451
00:32:57,019 --> 00:32:59,647
You'll keep your promise?
You won't tell the police?
452
00:32:59,721 --> 00:33:01,712
Let me put it
this way, Debbie.
453
00:33:02,057 --> 00:33:04,992
I'm never too sure
just how much character
I've got.
454
00:33:05,060 --> 00:33:07,688
In a pinch,
I start groping
for alternatives.
455
00:33:08,564 --> 00:33:11,795
I'll probably sell you out
before I take a rap
for murder.
456
00:33:12,501 --> 00:33:16,835
If you can help me, you'd
better get your little coffee
can and start bailing...
457
00:33:16,972 --> 00:33:19,440
'cause if I go down,
you go down.
458
00:33:21,743 --> 00:33:25,179
Chivalry is really dead,
isn't it?
I know.
459
00:34:14,563 --> 00:34:15,552
[Clattering]
460
00:35:27,903 --> 00:35:29,427
[Seagulls cawing]
461
00:35:37,779 --> 00:35:38,905
(Becker)
Becker.
462
00:35:38,981 --> 00:35:40,710
Hey, Dennis, Jim Rockford.
463
00:35:40,983 --> 00:35:42,712
Say, Jim, how you been?
464
00:35:42,985 --> 00:35:46,512
Heard you got into
a little tiff
with my buddy, Lt. Diel.
465
00:35:46,888 --> 00:35:49,015
Yeah, you got lousy taste
in friends.
466
00:35:49,091 --> 00:35:50,615
I didn't like him very much.
467
00:35:50,692 --> 00:35:52,626
Boy, Jim,
it's great talking to you.
468
00:35:52,694 --> 00:35:55,254
Hold on a minute,
my other phone is flashing.
469
00:35:57,065 --> 00:35:59,329
We got anybody out there
watching his trailer?
470
00:35:59,401 --> 00:36:01,892
No. Is that where he is?
Yeah, I think so.
471
00:36:01,970 --> 00:36:05,371
How long will it take
to get a warrant? You finished
with her statement?
472
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,840
She's burning him good.
Said she saw him kill Brego.
473
00:36:07,909 --> 00:36:11,868
Take me two minutes
to get it typed up. I get
the DA to approve it...
474
00:36:12,014 --> 00:36:14,209
Judge Hunnicut is over
at the courthouse.
475
00:36:14,282 --> 00:36:16,045
I'll have a warrant
in 25 minutes.
476
00:36:16,118 --> 00:36:18,348
And now,
I'd send a plainclothes car
out there.
477
00:36:18,420 --> 00:36:20,888
In the meanwhile,
I'll try and stall him.
478
00:36:23,158 --> 00:36:25,786
Sorry, Jim, but I'm breaking
in a rookie over here.
479
00:36:25,861 --> 00:36:27,886
He can't even fill out
a 211 report.
480
00:36:28,397 --> 00:36:31,491
So, anyway, what have
you been doing?
You out at the trailer?
481
00:36:31,566 --> 00:36:34,558
We ought to get together
and try and get us
some yellowtail.
482
00:36:34,636 --> 00:36:37,901
Yellowtail? What are you
talking about?
They aren't running.
483
00:36:39,474 --> 00:36:41,704
Listen, Dennis,
I need a favor.
484
00:36:42,244 --> 00:36:46,806
I'm trying to get all the dope
I can on a girl
named Leah Richards.
485
00:36:46,982 --> 00:36:49,212
Can you punch her out
on the computer?
486
00:36:49,284 --> 00:36:52,811
I'm looking for priors
or convictions. I wanna know,
you know...
487
00:36:53,121 --> 00:36:55,715
what her racket is
and any known associates.
488
00:36:56,091 --> 00:36:57,422
Yeah, right away.
489
00:36:58,326 --> 00:37:00,851
Look, where are you?
I could run it
by on my way home.
490
00:37:00,929 --> 00:37:03,557
I was gonna come out there
and pick some
of those clams...
491
00:37:03,632 --> 00:37:07,500
on the pier. You know,
Nancy's been hustling me
for some steamed clams.
492
00:37:08,303 --> 00:37:10,828
Dennis, what's going on?
What's wrong?
493
00:37:11,073 --> 00:37:12,938
Nothing. What are you
talking about?
494
00:37:13,008 --> 00:37:14,839
What are friends for, Jimbo?
495
00:37:16,778 --> 00:37:20,475
There wouldn't happen to be
a warrant out for my arrest,
would there?
496
00:37:20,549 --> 00:37:23,416
No, what do you mean, warrant?
Of course not.
497
00:37:24,086 --> 00:37:26,213
Dennis, I thought
we were friends.
498
00:37:27,456 --> 00:37:28,889
[Telephone clicking]
499
00:38:12,434 --> 00:38:14,527
1-Extra-22 to Control.
500
00:38:14,970 --> 00:38:17,370
We have an addition
on the 157 suspect...
501
00:38:17,439 --> 00:38:21,239
at 2354,
Pacific Coast Highway.
502
00:38:22,010 --> 00:38:25,468
Suspect was forced into
a light sedan
by two male Caucasians.
503
00:38:25,847 --> 00:38:28,372
Request a backup
and instructions.
504
00:38:36,758 --> 00:38:38,453
You guys better have
a warrant.
505
00:38:38,527 --> 00:38:41,121
What are you talking about?
A warrant for my arrest.
506
00:38:41,196 --> 00:38:44,256
You just can't go around
picking up people
without a warrant.
507
00:38:44,332 --> 00:38:47,768
Yeah? I do it all the time.
508
00:38:49,738 --> 00:38:51,228
You guys aren't cops?
509
00:39:20,701 --> 00:39:22,760
How are you feeling,
Mr. Rockford?
510
00:39:22,836 --> 00:39:24,736
Tell you the truth,
I'm scared to death.
511
00:39:24,805 --> 00:39:27,433
Good. We'd like
to get some information.
512
00:39:28,142 --> 00:39:30,736
We want to know
who hired you
to kill Carl Brego.
513
00:39:30,811 --> 00:39:34,076
I didn't kill Brego,
and I'm getting
a little sick of this.
514
00:39:34,548 --> 00:39:36,846
And the cops
don't believe you?
No.
515
00:39:39,220 --> 00:39:40,915
Neither do I.
516
00:39:41,555 --> 00:39:44,991
But I have
more pragmatic reasons.
You see...
517
00:39:45,359 --> 00:39:49,352
Carl Brego just didn't need
the services
of a private detective.
518
00:39:49,964 --> 00:39:53,161
We have plenty of people
who could have done
the same thing you do...
519
00:39:53,234 --> 00:39:54,531
only with more efficiency.
520
00:39:54,602 --> 00:39:57,730
I won't argue with that.
Then you're gonna stick
to that story?
521
00:39:57,805 --> 00:40:00,706
If I could come up
with something
that sounded any better...
522
00:40:00,774 --> 00:40:02,173
I'd probably use it.
523
00:40:02,243 --> 00:40:03,710
Okay, Mr. Rockford.
524
00:40:04,311 --> 00:40:06,336
Listen, if it helps any...
525
00:40:06,714 --> 00:40:09,182
I think he was killed
by organized crime.
526
00:40:09,683 --> 00:40:13,483
I'm in organized crime,
Mr. Rockford,
and I know how it works.
527
00:40:14,355 --> 00:40:17,586
You see, a killing is
a very complicated thing
to arrange.
528
00:40:17,791 --> 00:40:19,383
Your case, for instance.
529
00:40:19,460 --> 00:40:23,920
I had to submit your name
and my reasons for wanting you
hit to two of my superiors.
530
00:40:23,998 --> 00:40:25,932
They figured
you were just a trigger-man...
531
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,026
and that if someone
were to pay
for killing my cousin...
532
00:40:29,103 --> 00:40:31,571
it should be the man
who ordered it done.
533
00:40:31,672 --> 00:40:34,971
They okayed the contract,
with the provision
that I face you first...
534
00:40:35,042 --> 00:40:38,637
and give you the opportunity
to give me the name
of the man who hired you.
535
00:40:38,712 --> 00:40:40,737
Something you failed to do.
536
00:40:41,282 --> 00:40:43,409
We've just completed
that phase.
537
00:40:43,550 --> 00:40:46,451
And now, I'm gonna leave you
with these two gentlemen...
538
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,250
and they'll take you
to a suitable spot...
539
00:40:49,957 --> 00:40:51,424
and finish the job.
540
00:40:51,759 --> 00:40:53,056
All right.
541
00:40:54,161 --> 00:40:57,096
I'll give you what you want.
I'm listening.
542
00:40:58,565 --> 00:41:00,396
You guys know Tom Beceda?
543
00:41:00,734 --> 00:41:02,065
He's out of the country.
544
00:41:02,136 --> 00:41:05,503
He'd heard of my work
and he wanted me
to smoke Carl for him.
545
00:41:06,273 --> 00:41:09,765
Check it out. There's a phone
in the other office.
Call New York.
546
00:41:09,843 --> 00:41:12,437
You know, I don't
believe this, of course...
547
00:41:12,513 --> 00:41:14,310
but I'm gonna check it out.
548
00:41:15,449 --> 00:41:18,316
You know,
you have a very creative mind.
549
00:41:19,186 --> 00:41:20,710
(policeman)
Stop! Police!
550
00:41:23,924 --> 00:41:25,084
Freeze.
551

[Thudding]
553
00:41:29,663 --> 00:41:32,791
You got here just in time.
They were gonna kill me.
554
00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:38,165
I owed that guy one.
555
00:41:38,439 --> 00:41:42,205
The old guy got confused
and tried to run
into the closet over there.
556
00:41:45,145 --> 00:41:46,772
I gotta take you in, Jim.
557
00:41:46,847 --> 00:41:50,544
Hey, come on, Dennis.
On what charge?
Murder. We got an eyewitness.
558
00:41:50,617 --> 00:41:52,346
Says she saw you kill him.
559
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:54,449
Leah Richards?
Right.
560
00:41:56,457 --> 00:42:00,188
Could you get them to
close the door? I wanna
talk to you in private.
561
00:42:01,395 --> 00:42:04,421
Close the door
on your way out.
Put them in the car.
562
00:42:06,033 --> 00:42:07,500
I need some time.
563
00:42:07,568 --> 00:42:10,833
Just give me a
couple of hours. I know
I can get out from under this.
564
00:42:10,904 --> 00:42:13,634
I've been set up
and I think I know who did it.
565
00:42:14,641 --> 00:42:17,940
If I let you go,
I'd get busted back down
to traffic patrol.
566
00:42:18,145 --> 00:42:20,636
I don't believe you did it,
but I'm a cop.
567
00:42:20,981 --> 00:42:22,676
Got to take you in, Jim.
568
00:42:24,051 --> 00:42:26,849
Dennis...
Would you look at that?
569
00:42:28,088 --> 00:42:29,112
[Grunts]
570
00:42:29,189 --> 00:42:30,679
Sorry, Dennis.
571
00:42:39,633 --> 00:42:40,759
[Engine starting]
572
00:42:43,237 --> 00:42:44,431
[Tires screeching]
573
00:43:01,955 --> 00:43:04,253
I really don't know
what you're talking about.
574
00:43:04,324 --> 00:43:05,757
What you're saying
just can't be.
575
00:43:05,826 --> 00:43:09,387
I'm convinced it wasn't
a mob killing and I'm
convinced you didn't do it...
576
00:43:09,463 --> 00:43:12,489
and that only leaves one
other player. Your husband.
577
00:43:12,933 --> 00:43:14,901
He didn't even know
about Carl.
578
00:43:14,968 --> 00:43:16,230
Where is he?
579
00:43:16,303 --> 00:43:19,830
About a foot behind you
and a little
to your left, Mr. Rockford.
580
00:43:22,509 --> 00:43:24,704
This just hasn't been
my day at all.
581
00:43:24,778 --> 00:43:26,507
All right, Mr. Rockford...
582
00:43:26,814 --> 00:43:28,941
we're gonna go shoot
a little skeet.
583
00:43:29,016 --> 00:43:31,075
Mike, don't do this, please.
584
00:43:32,219 --> 00:43:34,380
Things didn't work out for us,
did they?
585
00:43:34,455 --> 00:43:37,185
I'm sorry.
I was only trying
to protect you.
586
00:43:37,257 --> 00:43:39,782
You didn't have to kill Brego.
Yes, I did.
587
00:43:39,893 --> 00:43:43,693
I got to wondering about him,
so I broke into his place
and he had...
588
00:43:47,901 --> 00:43:50,096
Well, there were
some Xeroxes of...
589
00:43:51,472 --> 00:43:52,837
Babe, I'm sorry.
590
00:43:54,608 --> 00:43:57,133
It's okay.
Can't say I wasn't hurt.
591
00:43:58,278 --> 00:44:00,405
People make mistakes, honey.
592
00:44:01,782 --> 00:44:04,444
But I'll be damned
if I was gonna let
you go to jail...
593
00:44:04,518 --> 00:44:07,351
and Brego was gonna put you
there sooner or later.
594
00:44:08,088 --> 00:44:10,215
At least that
ain't gonna happen.
595
00:44:10,991 --> 00:44:14,154
Now, all we gotta do
is take care
of Mr. Rockford here...
596
00:44:14,228 --> 00:44:16,662
and nobody is left
who knows who you were.
597
00:44:16,730 --> 00:44:20,723
Mike, he won't say anything
about me. Really, he won't.
598
00:44:21,635 --> 00:44:26,095
Once a fox gets the smell
of a henhouse,
there ain't no trusting him.
599
00:44:26,173 --> 00:44:30,166
That's really very folksy,
but it's still murder.
600
00:44:31,745 --> 00:44:34,714
Come on.
Mike, please don't.
601
00:44:35,415 --> 00:44:39,044
Sorry, honey.
I don't want to,
but there's other problems.
602
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:43,453
I ain't about to face a rap
for murder, and Mr. Rockford
knows I killed Brego.
603
00:44:44,324 --> 00:44:45,416
Let's go.
604
00:44:55,569 --> 00:44:57,002
You wouldn't want
to talk a deal?
605
00:44:57,070 --> 00:45:00,665
Like, maybe I take
the murder rap,
do the 20-year stretch?
606
00:45:00,741 --> 00:45:04,802
You could put $100,000
in an account for me
and I'd guarantee my silence.
607
00:45:06,780 --> 00:45:09,772
I'd be fixed for life,
you know. I'd get out
in maybe 10.
608
00:45:09,850 --> 00:45:11,249
I'm not anxious to do time...
609
00:45:11,318 --> 00:45:15,379
but I figure
10 years is a lot better
than eternity.
610
00:45:15,822 --> 00:45:17,983
You'd sell me out.
No, I wouldn't.
611
00:45:18,525 --> 00:45:21,358
I ain't about to trade
one blackmailer for another.
612
00:45:21,428 --> 00:45:22,725
Get in the car.
613
00:45:26,166 --> 00:45:27,463
You drive.
614
00:45:33,540 --> 00:45:34,973
[Engine starting]
615
00:45:44,818 --> 00:45:46,149
Slow down.
616
00:45:46,420 --> 00:45:48,411
Think it over, Mike.
It's a good deal.
617
00:45:48,488 --> 00:45:49,887
I said slow down!
618
00:45:54,361 --> 00:45:58,263
That ought to be fast enough.
Now let's talk
a new deal, Mike.
619
00:45:58,899 --> 00:46:02,835
You throw that gun out
the window, and we'll see
who takes the murder rap.
620
00:46:02,903 --> 00:46:05,133
Slow down,
or I'll kill you right here.
621
00:46:05,205 --> 00:46:08,231
Then we'd both be dead.
That wouldn't be too smart.
622
00:46:08,809 --> 00:46:11,539
The keys don't come out
of the ignition
while it's moving.
623
00:46:11,612 --> 00:46:14,775
It's a safety feature.
How about that for irony?
624
00:46:15,082 --> 00:46:18,745
I'm not a bluffer, boy.
You stop this car,
or I'll pull the trigger.
625
00:46:20,187 --> 00:46:22,678
You're not gonna shoot me,
and you know it.
626
00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:37,331
[Car exploding]
627
00:46:50,984 --> 00:46:54,215
Okay, I guess that wraps up
the Brego killing.
628
00:46:54,921 --> 00:46:58,379
You're lucky, Rockford.
The Countess
is backing your story.
629
00:46:59,092 --> 00:47:01,959
Nice lady, the Countess.
Real class.
630
00:47:03,196 --> 00:47:04,595
Her name is Debbie Ryder.
631
00:47:04,665 --> 00:47:08,294
She went to high school in
southern Illinois and
she likes Frankie Avalon...
632
00:47:08,368 --> 00:47:11,064
so don't get yourself
in a lather, Lieutenant.
633
00:47:11,505 --> 00:47:14,736
I don't like you, Rockford.
You got a smart mouth...
634
00:47:15,308 --> 00:47:17,401
and you're not out
of trouble yet.
635
00:47:17,911 --> 00:47:21,244
We still got a
"flight to avoid arrest"
charge hanging on you.
636
00:47:21,314 --> 00:47:25,751
He's safe there on a
technicality, Lieutenant. We
never served him the warrant.
637
00:47:31,992 --> 00:47:33,926
You like this jerk, don't you?
638
00:47:34,027 --> 00:47:35,551
No, I don't like him.
639
00:47:36,063 --> 00:47:39,931
I owe him a punch in his belly
and I can't collect
if he's doing time.
640
00:47:46,973 --> 00:47:49,134
Dennis, how about Ryder?
641
00:47:49,976 --> 00:47:52,604
No, not gonna make it.
He's got internal bleeding...
642
00:47:52,679 --> 00:47:55,170
and the doctor says
he won't last an hour.
643
00:47:55,382 --> 00:47:57,282
Can I get out of here?
Yeah.
644
00:47:57,584 --> 00:48:00,951
But you better stay handy
until I get Diel cooled off.
645
00:48:01,254 --> 00:48:02,312
Right.
646
00:48:14,735 --> 00:48:16,464
I just heard about Mike.
647
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,567
They keep fooling you,
don't they?
648
00:48:24,111 --> 00:48:25,840
Think everything's real.
649
00:48:27,047 --> 00:48:30,983
Then when you get close enough
so you can see,
it's just made of plastic.
650
00:48:35,789 --> 00:48:38,314
Mike was the
only genuine article around...
651
00:48:40,594 --> 00:48:44,792
but he got hooked
on a plastic Countess.
652
00:48:47,934 --> 00:48:49,902
How do you deal with that?
653
00:48:49,970 --> 00:48:51,801
We're all scared to death.
654
00:48:52,939 --> 00:48:54,634
I guess that's the penalty
we pay...
655
00:48:54,708 --> 00:48:58,337
for living in a world
where all the price tags end
in 99 cents...
656
00:48:58,411 --> 00:49:02,370
and they sell mortuary plots
on billboards
next to the freeway.
657
00:49:02,616 --> 00:49:05,676
What you do
is just keep laughing.
658
00:49:07,821 --> 00:49:11,723
They're gonna kiss your hand,
honey, because you
are a Countess.
659
00:49:14,828 --> 00:49:18,127
Stop worrying about it.
You're playing
a big practical joke.
660
00:49:19,766 --> 00:49:21,233
Just keep laughing.
661
00:49:23,170 --> 00:49:24,865
Is that what you do?
662
00:49:25,305 --> 00:49:26,533
You bet.
