1
00:00:02,250 --> 00:00:06,346
(woman on radio)
6-A-11. Ambulance
just reached. Code 2.
2
00:00:14,396 --> 00:00:15,761
I need a dime.
3
00:00:15,831 --> 00:00:18,265
Fill her up, you might have
some change coming.
4
00:00:18,333 --> 00:00:21,200
Give me a dime,
or I'm gonna crack you open
like a piggy bank.
5
00:00:21,269 --> 00:00:22,361
You're angry.
6
00:00:22,437 --> 00:00:23,529
Why would I be angry?
7
00:00:23,605 --> 00:00:26,506
You hired me to do a job,
and I nearly got killed
in the process.
8
00:00:29,578 --> 00:00:31,136
Oh, no.
9
00:00:32,848 --> 00:00:36,477
Now, if you think
that's going to stop me,
you've got a short memory.
10
00:00:48,964 --> 00:00:50,659
[Telephone ringing]
11
00:00:52,601 --> 00:00:54,592
(Rockford on
answering machine)
This is Jim Rockford.
12
00:00:54,669 --> 00:00:57,229
At the tone,
leave your name and message,
I'll get back to you.
13
00:00:57,305 --> 00:00:58,203
[Beeps]
14
00:00:58,273 --> 00:01:01,765
This is Louis, down
at the fish market. You gonna
pick up these halibut or what?
15
00:01:56,431 --> 00:01:57,989
[Siren wailing]
16
00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:14,614
[People chattering
on walkie-talkie]
17
00:02:15,283 --> 00:02:16,978
[Helicopter hovering]
18
00:03:23,618 --> 00:03:24,676
[Ann sobbing]
19
00:03:24,753 --> 00:03:26,152
(Ann)
No!
20
00:03:26,721 --> 00:03:27,653
No.
21
00:03:27,722 --> 00:03:29,451
Jim, you don't mean that.
22
00:03:29,524 --> 00:03:33,290
The last time
we worked together, I not only
didn't make any money...
23
00:03:33,361 --> 00:03:34,851
I had to refinance
my car.
24
00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:36,761
But I need you.
My client needs you.
25
00:03:36,831 --> 00:03:38,958
She's a pauper.
She doesn't have a cent.
26
00:03:39,034 --> 00:03:40,661
That gives us something
in common.
27
00:03:40,735 --> 00:03:43,863
All she's got is this
little piece of property
in Arizona.
28
00:03:43,939 --> 00:03:45,736
That puts her
one up on me.
29
00:03:46,074 --> 00:03:47,803
It would take her months
to sell it.
30
00:03:47,876 --> 00:03:50,208
And even then,
I don't know
what she'd get for it.
31
00:03:50,278 --> 00:03:53,270
But because she owns land,
she can't use
a public defender.
32
00:03:53,348 --> 00:03:55,441
That's why
I donated my services.
33
00:03:55,517 --> 00:03:59,920
I knew that once I
explained it to you that you'd
want to donate yours, too.
34
00:04:03,291 --> 00:04:05,384
Don't you even care
if she's innocent?
35
00:04:05,460 --> 00:04:07,360
Beth, I spent five years
in prison.
36
00:04:07,429 --> 00:04:10,694
While I was there,
I never met anybody
who wasn't innocent.
37
00:04:14,269 --> 00:04:15,531
(Beth)
Jim.
38
00:04:15,604 --> 00:04:16,628
No!
39
00:04:36,758 --> 00:04:38,692
Do we have to talk
out here?
40
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,218
We don't have to talk at all.
Beth, I don't take
charity cases.
41
00:04:42,297 --> 00:04:43,958
They're not part
of my survival kit.
42
00:04:44,032 --> 00:04:44,964
I take them.
43
00:04:45,033 --> 00:04:46,193
You can afford to.
44
00:04:46,268 --> 00:04:48,532
You picked
the right grandfather.
45
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:52,607
Please, Jim. For me?
46
00:04:54,342 --> 00:04:56,970
I guess I've never
been able to quite
pull that off, have I?
47
00:04:57,045 --> 00:05:00,845
All right, I won't ask
for any commitments.
Just meet Ann Calhoun.
48
00:05:01,049 --> 00:05:03,279
Listen to her side
of the story.
49
00:05:03,885 --> 00:05:04,817
No.
50
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,160
Ann.
51
00:05:20,235 --> 00:05:21,224
Hi.
52
00:05:21,303 --> 00:05:23,168
This is the man
I told you about.
53
00:05:23,238 --> 00:05:24,569
Jim Rockford.
54
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:26,869
The best private investigator
money can buy.
55
00:05:26,941 --> 00:05:29,535
(Ann)
Mr. Rockford.
Oh, thank God.
56
00:05:29,611 --> 00:05:33,012
Beth said she'd talk to you,
but I didn't allow myself...
57
00:05:33,615 --> 00:05:36,106
There doesn't seem to be
anything, anybody.
58
00:05:36,518 --> 00:05:38,349
He's going
to help you, Ann.
59
00:05:38,420 --> 00:05:41,355
Now, wait a minute, Beth.
No commitments, remember?
60
00:05:41,423 --> 00:05:44,586
I said I'd listen.
I didn't say anything
about helping.
61
00:05:58,306 --> 00:05:59,568
[Ann crying]
62
00:06:00,275 --> 00:06:03,369
Boy, you want
to see a workload?
Now, that's a workload.
63
00:06:03,445 --> 00:06:06,380
And you got some nerve
to come sniffing around here
about something...
64
00:06:06,448 --> 00:06:08,609
which is off my desk,
which is closed.
65
00:06:08,683 --> 00:06:10,708
Becker, sometimes
you sound just like a cop.
66
00:06:10,785 --> 00:06:11,809
I am a cop.
67
00:06:11,886 --> 00:06:13,478
That must be it.
68
00:06:14,055 --> 00:06:17,422
And how many times
I gotta tell you about
coming around this office?
69
00:06:17,492 --> 00:06:20,052
Now, the Calhoun case
is closed.
70
00:06:20,128 --> 00:06:22,562
You wanna waste
your time on it, fine.
71
00:06:22,630 --> 00:06:24,222
Don't waste mine.
72
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,530
How can you close this case
on what you got?
73
00:06:29,104 --> 00:06:31,095
On what we got? Witnesses.
74
00:06:31,172 --> 00:06:32,571
Half the people
in the motel...
75
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,939
heard Ann and Kevin Calhoun
having it out,
tearing up the joint.
76
00:06:36,010 --> 00:06:39,776
Motive: He told her
to go back to Arizona,
he was staying in LA.
77
00:06:39,848 --> 00:06:42,316
There ain't no better motive
than that. Woman scorned.
78
00:06:42,384 --> 00:06:43,874
I think
that's what they call it.
79
00:06:43,952 --> 00:06:45,078
Not lately.
80
00:06:45,153 --> 00:06:46,677
And opportunity.
81
00:06:46,755 --> 00:06:49,349
After the fight, Calhoun slams
into the bedroom...
82
00:06:49,424 --> 00:06:51,289
and it's quiet for 15 minutes.
83
00:06:51,359 --> 00:06:54,726
Fifteen minutes later,
Ann Calhoun
leaves the motel...
84
00:06:54,796 --> 00:06:56,525
and then the fire breaks out.
85
00:06:56,598 --> 00:06:59,624
And you figure
she spent that 15 minutes
killing her husband.
86
00:06:59,701 --> 00:07:01,328
He was smothered
and that's official.
87
00:07:01,403 --> 00:07:04,895
Direct to you
from the coroner.
He was dead before the fire.
88
00:07:04,973 --> 00:07:07,237
No blisters.
No smoke inhalation.
89
00:07:07,308 --> 00:07:09,538
It was supposed
to look like an accident.
90
00:07:09,611 --> 00:07:12,603
She planted a cigarette
in his right hand.
It was burned.
91
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,411
The fire spreads
across his torso
and burns the other hand.
92
00:07:17,552 --> 00:07:19,918
Then you don't have
a positive identification.
93
00:07:19,988 --> 00:07:21,979
His wife identified him.
94
00:07:22,056 --> 00:07:24,149
There wasn't a mark
on his face.
95
00:07:24,225 --> 00:07:27,353
And she admitted
that the two of them
didn't know a soul in town.
96
00:07:27,429 --> 00:07:29,021
Who else had a motive?
97
00:07:29,964 --> 00:07:32,364
Somebody at that big party
they went to in Bel Air?
98
00:07:32,434 --> 00:07:34,197
He crashed that party.
We checked it out.
99
00:07:34,269 --> 00:07:35,327
Nobody knew him.
100
00:07:35,403 --> 00:07:37,871
Nobody admitted
they knew him.
101
00:07:38,506 --> 00:07:41,600
Becker, you're just gonna
have to get this case
back from the DA.
102
00:07:41,676 --> 00:07:43,041
I mean, it won't hold.
103
00:07:43,111 --> 00:07:46,672
You take opportunity.
You're wide open
on that one.
104
00:07:46,748 --> 00:07:49,376
Calhoun was in his bed,
asleep.
105
00:07:49,818 --> 00:07:51,945
Anybody could've walked in
on him.
106
00:07:52,687 --> 00:07:54,655
Well, hold it.
Hold it a minute.
107
00:07:54,722 --> 00:07:58,055
You know, it just hits me
what this is all about.
108
00:07:58,393 --> 00:08:01,385
It's that flaky attorney,
the one
who collects lost causes...
109
00:08:01,463 --> 00:08:02,953
like they were rare coins.
110
00:08:03,031 --> 00:08:04,020
Beth Davenport.
111
00:08:04,098 --> 00:08:05,122
That's the one.
112
00:08:05,967 --> 00:08:09,095
She's trying to con you
into working
for nothing again, right?
113
00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:12,901
And you figure,
we reopen the case,
you're off the hook, right?
114
00:08:12,974 --> 00:08:15,465
That's what I had in mind,
I can see
it's not going to work.
115
00:08:15,543 --> 00:08:16,669
Damn right.
116
00:08:28,056 --> 00:08:29,523
Hot sauce, please.
117
00:08:30,592 --> 00:08:31,616
With your stomach?
118
00:08:31,693 --> 00:08:32,682
Yeah.
119
00:08:35,263 --> 00:08:36,730
We may have a deal.
120
00:08:36,798 --> 00:08:37,856
I knew it.
121
00:08:37,932 --> 00:08:41,299
I knew the minute
you met Ann Calhoun you'd know
she's not capable of murder.
122
00:08:41,369 --> 00:08:42,461
That isn't
why I'm doing...
123
00:08:42,537 --> 00:08:44,027
She's a sweet,
gentle woman.
124
00:08:44,105 --> 00:08:45,197
Look, Beth.
125
00:08:45,273 --> 00:08:47,264
The case the police
have against her
is laughable.
126
00:08:47,342 --> 00:08:49,401
There's not one shred
of hard evidence.
127
00:08:49,477 --> 00:08:52,173
She's had the opportunity,
and they say
she had the motive.
128
00:08:52,247 --> 00:08:53,942
I said we may have a deal.
129
00:08:54,182 --> 00:08:55,547
You pay my expenses.
130
00:08:55,617 --> 00:08:57,278
I'm donating my services.
131
00:08:57,352 --> 00:08:59,547
I'm not going to make a dime.
132
00:09:00,021 --> 00:09:04,048
You pay my expenses,
and if I prove that
Ann Calhoun is innocent...
133
00:09:04,125 --> 00:09:06,650
you pay my expenses
plus $200 a day.
134
00:09:06,728 --> 00:09:09,595
And no arguments, no bargains,
no nothing. That's it.
135
00:09:09,664 --> 00:09:10,722
All right?
136
00:09:11,566 --> 00:09:12,658
All right.
We have a deal.
137
00:09:12,734 --> 00:09:13,666
Good.
138
00:09:13,735 --> 00:09:16,863
I want you to find out
everything Ann knows
about her husband.
139
00:09:16,938 --> 00:09:20,066
Where he was born,
where he went to school,
where he worked. Everything.
140
00:09:20,141 --> 00:09:23,338
I'll come by your place
and pick it up later.
All right?
141

[Tires screeching]

00:19:14,667 --> 00:19:16,658
It's an emergency.
I need a dime.
155
00:19:16,736 --> 00:19:19,068
Mister, I don't even
give directions.
156
00:19:19,139 --> 00:19:21,733
Somebody just tried
to kill me,
I need a dime.
157
00:19:21,808 --> 00:19:23,969
Fill her up, you might have
some change coming.
158
00:19:24,043 --> 00:19:27,069
Give me a dime,
or I'm gonna crack you
open like a piggy bank.
159
00:19:27,147 --> 00:19:29,115
All right, you got it.
160
00:19:31,684 --> 00:19:32,946
Here.
161
00:19:33,019 --> 00:19:35,817
You owe me 90 cents.
Just put it in the tank.

00:19:49,536 --> 00:19:51,595
My name is Jim Rockford
and I'm at...
165
00:19:51,671 --> 00:19:54,970
6224699.
166
00:19:55,041 --> 00:19:57,475
You know where... Nine.
167
00:19:58,144 --> 00:19:59,543
You know where...
168
00:20:00,180 --> 00:20:01,442
What's the name
of this place?
169
00:20:01,514 --> 00:20:02,913
Farber's Garage.
170
00:20:03,283 --> 00:20:05,581
You know
where Farber's Garage is?
171
00:20:07,053 --> 00:20:09,988
Somebody in a truck
just tried to kill me.

[Police radio chattering]
173
00:20:13,159 --> 00:20:14,922
[Typewriter clacking]
174
00:20:15,628 --> 00:20:17,118
(Rockford)
Did you find anything?
175
00:20:17,263 --> 00:20:20,164
Like I told you, Mr. Rockford,
we found "it."
176
00:20:20,867 --> 00:20:22,300
You can't arrest
a tractor.
177
00:20:22,368 --> 00:20:25,201
You also can't arrest somebody
who ain't there.
178
00:20:25,271 --> 00:20:28,763
The rig was stolen
from the Junction Cafe
about...
179
00:20:28,841 --> 00:20:32,333
three hours ago,
then it was dumped two miles
north of the highway.
180
00:20:32,412 --> 00:20:33,606
Did you dust it
for prints?
181
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:34,704
No, we didn't.
182
00:20:34,781 --> 00:20:38,649
Me and none of the boys
is licensed to drive
nothing that big.
183
00:20:38,718 --> 00:20:42,119
There's this guy, Bert,
he helps us out
from time to time.
184
00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:43,815
He brought it back
to the station.
185
00:20:43,890 --> 00:20:48,156
Nobody thought to tell Bert
not to wipe any fingerprints
off the steering wheel?
186
00:20:48,228 --> 00:20:50,253
Do you know
how many cars we got?
187
00:20:50,330 --> 00:20:52,958
How many men?
How many miles we gotta cover?
188
00:20:53,933 --> 00:20:57,562
Okay, there was a slip-up.
You got
the Department's apology.
189
00:20:58,238 --> 00:21:00,706
Maybe somebody tried
to kill you. Maybe not.
190
00:21:00,773 --> 00:21:03,503
But I'll tell you
how this thing's
probably gonna turn out.
191
00:21:03,576 --> 00:21:07,034
Probably turn out some kid
out to have hisself
a little fun.
192
00:21:08,681 --> 00:21:11,047
People move here
for their health?
193
00:21:52,158 --> 00:21:55,025
(Rocky)
Hold it right where you are.
Now don't make a move.
194
00:21:55,094 --> 00:21:56,493
Put your hands up.
195
00:21:56,896 --> 00:21:57,885
Up!
196
00:22:01,267 --> 00:22:02,529
Rocky.
197
00:22:03,202 --> 00:22:05,670
Jim. What are you doing here?
198
00:22:05,738 --> 00:22:07,603
I live here.
What are you doing here?
199
00:22:07,674 --> 00:22:10,905
I'm just keeping an eye
on the joint. You know
it's always getting...
200
00:22:10,977 --> 00:22:13,411
all tore up every time
you ain't around.
201
00:22:14,781 --> 00:22:16,408
Why don't you
put that thing away?
202
00:22:16,482 --> 00:22:18,848
Among other things,
you don't have
a permit for it.
203
00:22:18,918 --> 00:22:20,613
I don't need one.
It's yours.
204
00:22:20,687 --> 00:22:24,054
I don't have a permit
for it, either.
So, give it here.
205
00:22:24,257 --> 00:22:26,191
Two people try to kill me
in one day...
206
00:22:26,259 --> 00:22:28,318
and one of them
turns out to be my own father.
207
00:22:28,394 --> 00:22:30,624
Somebody tried to kill you?
Are you all right?
208
00:22:30,697 --> 00:22:31,721
Yeah, fine.
209
00:22:31,798 --> 00:22:33,993
Somebody tries to kill you,
you're not fine.
210
00:22:34,067 --> 00:22:35,193
What happened?
211
00:22:35,268 --> 00:22:37,702
Let's just try
to forget it, Rocky.
212
00:22:37,770 --> 00:22:38,759
I know.
213
00:22:38,838 --> 00:22:42,296
You think I can't
swallow it straight. You think
I'll worry, don't you?
214
00:22:42,375 --> 00:22:43,865
Well, won't you?
215
00:22:44,677 --> 00:22:48,579
I'm not the kind of fella
that says he knows
all the answers. I never was.
216
00:22:48,648 --> 00:22:51,139
But for a man
who doesn't like
to get stomped on...
217
00:22:51,217 --> 00:22:53,310
you are in the wrong line
of work.
218
00:22:53,853 --> 00:22:55,218
Not now, Rocky.
219
00:22:55,288 --> 00:22:56,846
You never gave trucking
a chance.
220
00:22:56,923 --> 00:23:00,290
You know,
I still got connections. I can
help get your A-1 myself.
221
00:23:00,360 --> 00:23:02,294
It's good pay,
steady work.
222
00:23:02,362 --> 00:23:04,330
And it is safe.
223
00:23:04,397 --> 00:23:07,025
Not when
you're on the wrong end
of the truck.
224
00:23:07,500 --> 00:23:09,127
I just got my tail chased...
225
00:23:09,202 --> 00:23:12,137
halfway across
the state of Arizona
by the front end of a semi.
226
00:23:12,205 --> 00:23:13,502
Tried to run me
off a mountain.
227
00:23:13,573 --> 00:23:14,938
A tractor, was it?
What kind?
228
00:23:15,007 --> 00:23:17,771
A Kenworth? A Mack?
What was it? Peterbilt?
229
00:23:17,844 --> 00:23:19,334
What difference
does it make?
230
00:23:19,412 --> 00:23:20,470
What?
231
00:23:20,747 --> 00:23:23,716
I tried to show you
the differences
before you could walk.
232
00:23:23,783 --> 00:23:25,273
Was it a cab-over?
233
00:23:25,351 --> 00:23:28,184
Yeah,
it was flat nosed, high.
It was a cab-over.
234
00:23:28,254 --> 00:23:32,315
Nice paint job,
blue and white. But what are
we talking about tractors for?
235
00:23:32,392 --> 00:23:34,360
That point is,
it tried to kill me.
236
00:23:34,427 --> 00:23:35,325
No.
237
00:23:35,395 --> 00:23:36,419
What do you mean no?
238
00:23:36,496 --> 00:23:39,693
Suppose we're talking
about something small,
like 14-6.
239
00:23:39,766 --> 00:23:42,667
All right. Now,
you got 14,600 pounds...
240
00:23:42,735 --> 00:23:46,398
barreling down the highway
at you at 70 or 80,
and they can do it.
241
00:23:46,472 --> 00:23:47,598
They got the gears.
242
00:23:47,673 --> 00:23:50,369
No sir, if they wanted
to kill you,
you'd be dead.
243
00:23:50,443 --> 00:23:52,502
Maybe he wasn't
a union driver.
244
00:23:52,578 --> 00:23:53,704
Maybe.
245
00:23:53,780 --> 00:23:55,941
But I don't think
he wanted to kill you.
246
00:23:56,015 --> 00:23:58,916
I think they wanted
to just scare you
to death.
247
00:24:12,298 --> 00:24:13,629
Toothpaste?
248
00:24:13,699 --> 00:24:14,723
Toothpaste.
249
00:24:14,801 --> 00:24:17,895
That's a legitimate
out-of-town,
overnight expense.
250
00:24:18,404 --> 00:24:20,895
I didn't charge you
for my new jammies.
251
00:24:20,973 --> 00:24:21,940
You're angry.
252
00:24:22,008 --> 00:24:23,168
Why would I be angry?
253
00:24:23,242 --> 00:24:26,143
You hired me to do a job,
and I nearly got killed
in the process.
254
00:24:26,212 --> 00:24:28,976
The highway patrol are looking
for some fun-loving kid.
255
00:24:29,048 --> 00:24:31,209
My father wants
an autographed picture
of the truck...
256
00:24:31,284 --> 00:24:34,776
and you're so torn up,
you're arguing
over a tube of toothpaste.

[Honking]
260
00:25:17,296 --> 00:25:18,558
Watch out!
261
00:25:25,705 --> 00:25:27,138
You all right?
262
00:25:27,206 --> 00:25:28,400
All right?
263
00:25:28,474 --> 00:25:29,736
Good.
264
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:34,103
Anybody hurt over there?
265
00:25:34,180 --> 00:25:35,306
No, we're all right.
266
00:25:35,381 --> 00:25:36,473
(man)
What's wrong with you?
267
00:25:36,549 --> 00:25:37,675
Sorry it happened.
268
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:40,275
Okay, guys,
let's get back to work.
269
00:25:41,254 --> 00:25:42,846
What happened?
270
00:25:42,922 --> 00:25:44,480
No brake fluid.
271
00:25:45,157 --> 00:25:47,625
Somebody loosened the fitting
on the master cylinder.
272
00:25:47,693 --> 00:25:48,751
You mean
it was deliberate?
273
00:25:48,828 --> 00:25:50,386
Yeah, and that's twice.
274
00:25:50,463 --> 00:25:53,227
Then somebody did try
to kill you in Arizona.
275
00:25:53,299 --> 00:25:54,630
That doesn't make sense.
276
00:25:54,700 --> 00:25:57,225
Nobody knows
you're working
for Ann Calhoun.
277
00:25:57,303 --> 00:26:00,067
And nobody knew
you were going to Arizona,
except me.
278
00:26:00,139 --> 00:26:02,505
And whoever killed
Kevin Calhoun.
279
00:26:02,808 --> 00:26:06,073
Evidently, they're not
too happy with what
I dug up on them.
280
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,939
(Rockford)
He wasn't born in Arizona
at all.
281
00:26:10,016 --> 00:26:12,007
He never worked
for the Central Valley Press.
282
00:26:12,084 --> 00:26:13,847
There's no record
of a driver's license,
283
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,445
no social security number,
no nothing.
284
00:26:16,522 --> 00:26:18,547
Kevin Calhoun never existed.
285
00:26:19,125 --> 00:26:23,289
There's no record of him
prior to your marriage
in Flagstaff two years ago.
286
00:26:23,362 --> 00:26:27,059
That's impossible. I knew him.
We were married for two years.
287
00:26:28,334 --> 00:26:31,997
Ann, the person he was,
is the reason he was killed.
288
00:26:33,039 --> 00:26:34,666
How did you meet him?
289
00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:37,368
It was an accident. Chance.
290
00:26:38,611 --> 00:26:40,772
He was in Flagstaff.
He'd been traveling.
291
00:26:40,846 --> 00:26:43,542
"Listening to the country"
is what he called it.
292
00:26:44,850 --> 00:26:46,215
He was a poet.
293
00:26:47,787 --> 00:26:48,913
Did I mention that?
294
00:26:48,988 --> 00:26:49,920
No.
295
00:26:49,989 --> 00:26:51,217
He was.
296
00:26:51,757 --> 00:26:53,850
Kind, sensitive.
297
00:26:53,926 --> 00:26:55,621
We were very happy.
298
00:26:55,995 --> 00:26:59,123
On the day
your husband was murdered,
he threatened to leave you.
299
00:26:59,198 --> 00:27:02,065
He'd had too much to drink.
He didn't mean it.
300
00:27:02,134 --> 00:27:05,535
But you argued,
he slammed the door,
went into the bedroom.
301
00:27:05,972 --> 00:27:09,100
What happened
during that 15 minutes
before you left the motel?
302
00:27:09,208 --> 00:27:10,197
Jim.
303
00:27:10,576 --> 00:27:12,237
Nothing. Nothing happened.
304
00:27:12,311 --> 00:27:14,438
I was angry, hurt.
305
00:27:14,513 --> 00:27:17,880
So I went out for a walk.
Why doesn't anyone believe me?
306
00:27:17,950 --> 00:27:19,315
All right.
307
00:27:20,653 --> 00:27:23,850
About that party
you went to, in Bel Air?
308
00:27:24,857 --> 00:27:28,384
Was it in character for him
to crash a thing like that?
309
00:27:28,461 --> 00:27:30,656
He didn't crash,
he was invited.
310
00:27:30,730 --> 00:27:33,164
You told the police
you didn't know anybody
in town.
311
00:27:33,232 --> 00:27:34,324
(Ann)
We didn't.
312
00:27:34,734 --> 00:27:39,068
At least I didn't.
Kevin must have known someone,
because he was invited.
313
00:27:39,538 --> 00:27:41,267
You sound pretty sure
about that.
314
00:27:41,340 --> 00:27:42,272
Why?
315
00:27:42,341 --> 00:27:43,638
The way he behaved.
316
00:27:43,709 --> 00:27:47,645
He wasn't hiding from anyone.
He was there. Very openly.
317
00:27:47,913 --> 00:27:51,212
He even called me
from the party
to ask me to join him.
318
00:27:51,550 --> 00:27:53,211
Did you have any trouble
getting in?
319
00:27:53,285 --> 00:27:54,343
No.
320
00:27:54,854 --> 00:27:58,346
Didn't you ask him
how he got there,
who invited him?
321
00:27:58,424 --> 00:27:59,413
No.
322
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,190
I saw he'd had
too much to drink.
323
00:28:04,530 --> 00:28:06,555
We left almost immediately.
324
00:28:06,632 --> 00:28:08,862
You weren't even curious?
325
00:28:08,934 --> 00:28:10,959
On the way home in the car,
you didn't ask him?
326
00:28:11,037 --> 00:28:12,299
On the way home? No.
327
00:28:12,371 --> 00:28:15,772
I didn't. We started to argue
the minute we got in the cab.
328
00:28:15,941 --> 00:28:19,342
Because he said
that he didn't want to go back
to Arizona again. Ever.
329
00:28:25,918 --> 00:28:27,715
(Rockford)
Ever seen them before?
330
00:28:28,554 --> 00:28:31,148
(Ann)
Yes, at the party.
Who are they?
331
00:28:31,223 --> 00:28:33,851
That's Elizabeth Gorman
and Clyde Russell.
332
00:28:33,926 --> 00:28:36,656
Those were your hosts.
You weren't introduced?
333
00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:38,018
No.
334
00:28:38,497 --> 00:28:41,330
There must have been
over 200 people there.
335
00:28:41,867 --> 00:28:44,267
Did you ever see your husband
talking to them?
336
00:28:44,336 --> 00:28:46,896
He didn't.
Not while I was there. Why?
337
00:28:48,107 --> 00:28:50,598
You say you were invited.
338
00:28:50,810 --> 00:28:52,971
They say you crashed.
339
00:28:55,881 --> 00:28:58,611
I hired you to investigate,
not to prosecute.
340
00:28:58,684 --> 00:29:02,313
What were you doing in there?
You were acting
as though Ann killed Kevin.
341
00:29:02,388 --> 00:29:03,719
As far as I know,
she did.
342
00:29:03,789 --> 00:29:04,778
Jim.
343
00:29:05,224 --> 00:29:06,213
Beth.
344
00:29:07,226 --> 00:29:09,660
There are only two people
who are above suspicion.
345
00:29:09,729 --> 00:29:11,390
That's you and me.
346
00:29:11,464 --> 00:29:14,797
If you lose sight of that,
you're not the attorney
I think you are.
347
00:29:14,867 --> 00:29:17,563
What are you poking around
in there for?
The car is fixed.
348
00:29:17,636 --> 00:29:20,332
I just want to make sure
it didn't get unfixed.
349
00:29:39,492 --> 00:29:41,426
Well, at least you came up
with something.
350
00:29:41,494 --> 00:29:44,793
Although I've never heard
of Elizabeth Gorman
and Clyde Russell.
351
00:29:44,864 --> 00:29:47,389
From the size of this,
you'd think they were
the royal family.
352
00:29:47,466 --> 00:29:48,763
Who are they?
353
00:29:48,968 --> 00:29:51,232
I couldn't find out
too much on them.
354
00:29:51,303 --> 00:29:53,464
They're new in town.
Lots of money.
355
00:29:53,539 --> 00:29:57,498
There's some kind
of connection with
The Dark and Bloody Ground.
356
00:29:57,576 --> 00:30:00,204
The movie?
They do have money.
357
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:03,248
That's the biggest thing
since Birth of a Nation.
358
00:30:08,053 --> 00:30:09,042
Gorman.
359
00:30:10,055 --> 00:30:12,819
Gorman. Somebody named Gorman
wrote the book.
360
00:30:13,859 --> 00:30:15,019
Where are we going?
361
00:30:15,094 --> 00:30:16,584
To the police station.
362
00:30:16,662 --> 00:30:17,720
Why?
363
00:30:18,531 --> 00:30:21,432
I've gotta tell them
what I found out
about Kevin Calhoun.
364
00:30:21,500 --> 00:30:23,559
We're sitting
on evidence, Beth.
365
00:30:23,636 --> 00:30:24,796
Oh, no.
366
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:30,775
Now, if you think
that's going to stop me,
you've got a short memory.
367
00:30:31,343 --> 00:30:32,332
[Car honking]
368
00:30:32,411 --> 00:30:33,605
Wait!
369
00:30:33,679 --> 00:30:35,647
Don't tell me, tell them.
370
00:30:36,148 --> 00:30:37,706
[Car continues honking]
371
00:30:38,450 --> 00:30:41,749
Just give me one good reason
why we should go
to the police.
372
00:30:41,821 --> 00:30:44,790
I've already given it to you.
Evidence in a capital crime.
373
00:30:45,224 --> 00:30:48,990
I'm counsel for the defense.
You're acting as my agent.
374
00:30:49,061 --> 00:30:51,029
There's no question
of withholding evidence.
375
00:30:51,096 --> 00:30:53,394
You're on firm
and legal ground.
376
00:30:53,465 --> 00:30:54,727
How firm?
377
00:30:55,034 --> 00:30:57,662
Information that you uncover
as an investigator...
378
00:30:57,736 --> 00:31:01,467
because you're in my employ,
is privileged information.
379
00:31:01,540 --> 00:31:05,476
You are not required by law
to divulge said information
to the police.
380
00:31:05,544 --> 00:31:09,981
There's nothing about it
in the penal code, but it's
common knowledge and practice.
381
00:31:10,049 --> 00:31:11,880
It's an unwritten law.
382
00:31:11,951 --> 00:31:14,351
There are no unwritten laws,
Beth.
383
00:31:14,820 --> 00:31:16,344
Trust me.
384
00:31:16,422 --> 00:31:19,152
Kevin Calhoun
assumed a false identity.
385
00:31:19,225 --> 00:31:20,988
We don't have any reason.
386
00:31:21,060 --> 00:31:22,652
That's what
I want you to find out...
387
00:31:22,728 --> 00:31:25,697
when you confront
Elizabeth Gorman
and Clyde Russell.
388
00:31:27,132 --> 00:31:28,997
What do you want me
to confront them with?
389
00:31:29,068 --> 00:31:31,002
How do I know?
Whatever works.
390
00:31:31,503 --> 00:31:33,232
You're making $200 a day.
391
00:31:33,305 --> 00:31:34,897
Plus expenses.
392
00:31:35,274 --> 00:31:38,766
All that stops the minute
you walk into Becker's office.
393
00:31:39,345 --> 00:31:41,609
Are you implying
that I could be bought?
394
00:31:42,281 --> 00:31:43,305
Yes.
395
00:31:46,518 --> 00:31:48,076
What are you doing now?
396
00:31:48,153 --> 00:31:50,178
I'm gonna go
find a telephone.
397
00:31:50,256 --> 00:31:53,054
And I'm going
to call an attorney.
I need some legal advice.
398
00:31:53,125 --> 00:31:54,558
I'm an attorney.
399
00:31:54,627 --> 00:31:55,594
Yeah.
400
00:32:52,684 --> 00:32:55,016
You know,
I walked right by you.
401
00:32:55,086 --> 00:32:56,246
I beg your pardon?
402
00:32:56,321 --> 00:32:57,618
Right by.
403
00:32:57,689 --> 00:32:59,919
Did you get the time
on Currypoise?
404
00:32:59,991 --> 00:33:03,358
I had a shot at her in a
claiming race two years ago,
but I let her go.
405
00:33:03,428 --> 00:33:05,896
Could've had her
for $5,000. Yeah.
406
00:33:05,964 --> 00:33:07,659
She looks awfully good.
407
00:33:07,732 --> 00:33:10,826
I'm afraid
you have the advantage
on us, Mr...
408
00:33:10,902 --> 00:33:14,565
Jim. I thought we settled
all that "Mr. Rockford"
business at your party.
409
00:33:14,639 --> 00:33:19,008
I've been meaning to call you
and say thanks again
and I'm sorry.
410
00:33:19,711 --> 00:33:20,939
For what?
411
00:33:21,012 --> 00:33:22,445
About your guest.
412
00:33:23,114 --> 00:33:26,641
What was his name?
Mr. Kevin Calhoun.
413
00:33:26,718 --> 00:33:28,083
I read about it in the paper.
414
00:33:28,152 --> 00:33:29,585
I read about it, too.
415
00:33:29,654 --> 00:33:31,053
Sad business. Sad.
416
00:33:31,122 --> 00:33:34,421
Not all that sad,
Mr. Rockford.
We didn't even know the man.
417
00:33:35,026 --> 00:33:36,391
You didn't?
418
00:33:37,095 --> 00:33:40,587
You mean he crashed the party?
It doesn't seem possible.
419
00:33:41,165 --> 00:33:43,099
It shouldn't have happened.
420
00:33:43,167 --> 00:33:45,431
Elliot is very good
at opening the right doors...
421
00:33:45,503 --> 00:33:47,869
and closing them
on the wrong people.
422
00:33:47,939 --> 00:33:51,466
You've met my fiancé,
haven't you, Mr. Rockford?
423
00:33:51,542 --> 00:33:52,873
Elliot Malcolm.
Yes.
424
00:33:52,944 --> 00:33:53,933
No.
425
00:33:54,512 --> 00:33:55,979
Elliot, he was
at the party.
426
00:33:56,047 --> 00:33:58,311
Mr. Rockford was not
at the party.
427
00:33:59,550 --> 00:34:01,780
I guess I just have
one of those faces.
428
00:34:01,853 --> 00:34:04,151
You're face was not
at the party.
429
00:34:04,489 --> 00:34:07,754
And your name wasn't
on the guest list.
I made it out myself.
430
00:34:07,825 --> 00:34:08,951
You crashed the party, too.
431
00:34:09,027 --> 00:34:10,085
I'm afraid so.
432
00:34:10,161 --> 00:34:11,219
(Elliot)
Not a chance.
433
00:34:11,295 --> 00:34:13,263
There were
over 200 people there, Elliot.
434
00:34:13,331 --> 00:34:15,799
I said not a chance.
I had a guard on every gate.
435
00:34:15,867 --> 00:34:19,132
I had a guard on every door.
Nobody got into that party
I didn't want there.
436
00:34:19,203 --> 00:34:20,465
You make it sound impossible.
437
00:34:20,538 --> 00:34:21,527
It was impossible.
438
00:34:21,606 --> 00:34:24,370
I'm not going to argue
with you,
you're the expert on doors.
439
00:34:24,475 --> 00:34:27,000
Nobody crashed the party.
Not me...
440
00:34:27,945 --> 00:34:29,310
not Kevin Calhoun.
441
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:30,870
I didn't say that.
442
00:34:30,948 --> 00:34:32,506
Yes, you did.
443
00:34:41,559 --> 00:34:43,720
What was that
all about?
444
00:34:43,795 --> 00:34:45,660
Probably a lawyer
checking out the party.
445
00:34:45,730 --> 00:34:47,664
Somebody was just indicted
for that murder.
446
00:34:47,732 --> 00:34:51,498
You just told him
that Kevin Calhoun was invited
to the party.
447
00:34:52,403 --> 00:34:56,806
And our statements
to the police
say that he crashed.
448
00:34:57,041 --> 00:34:59,942
It's one of the things
he does.
Elliot puts parties together.
449
00:35:00,011 --> 00:35:03,139
Makes introductions.
Elliot went
to all the right schools.
450
00:35:03,214 --> 00:35:06,308
Knows the right people,
and knows how to make them
pay off.
451
00:35:06,384 --> 00:35:09,114
Evidently,
he's going to marry
Elizabeth Gorman.
452
00:35:09,487 --> 00:35:10,511
New money.
453
00:35:10,588 --> 00:35:11,612
What does that mean?
454
00:35:11,689 --> 00:35:13,850
Old money
would never marry Elliot.
455
00:35:14,292 --> 00:35:16,283
Tell me something, Beth.
456
00:35:16,894 --> 00:35:19,624
Does it embarrass you
to be seen in public
with me?
457
00:35:19,697 --> 00:35:20,686
Of course not.
458
00:35:20,765 --> 00:35:22,426
Why would you
ask a thing like that?
459
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:23,762
I don't even have
new money.
460
00:35:32,810 --> 00:35:34,368
[Knocking on door]
461
00:35:41,352 --> 00:35:42,614
Rocky?
462
00:35:43,154 --> 00:35:44,416
No, it's Beth.
463
00:35:49,627 --> 00:35:51,561
I found out
who killed Kevin Calhoun.
464
00:35:51,629 --> 00:35:52,527
Who?
465
00:35:52,597 --> 00:35:53,621
Clyde Russell.
466
00:35:53,698 --> 00:35:54,790
Why?
467
00:35:54,866 --> 00:35:58,427
That's the most
fascinating part about
this whole thing. I start...
468
00:35:58,503 --> 00:35:59,595
Why aren't you dressed?
469
00:35:59,670 --> 00:36:01,661
I am dressed.
For bed.
470
00:36:01,739 --> 00:36:03,468
Put your clothes on.
471
00:36:03,741 --> 00:36:05,971
I started looking
into Clyde Russell's
background.
472
00:36:06,043 --> 00:36:07,874
And I found out
he's into copyrights.
473
00:36:07,945 --> 00:36:09,776
Now, that's
a very specialized field.
474
00:36:09,847 --> 00:36:13,248
So I asked a friend of mine,
an expert, to help me,
and he...
475
00:36:13,317 --> 00:36:15,877
For $200, you could
put your clothes on.
476
00:36:17,555 --> 00:36:19,716
Anyway, there's
the most peculiar thing
477
00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:22,190
about the copyright law
in this country.
478
00:36:22,260 --> 00:36:26,321
I mean, it's insane. It sounds
as if the whole thing
were written by a madman.
479
00:36:27,098 --> 00:36:28,258
Listen.
480
00:36:28,332 --> 00:36:32,200
Wouldn't you think
that when a company buys
a book, that they own it?
481
00:36:32,737 --> 00:36:35,103
Especially if the contract
says so.
482
00:36:35,173 --> 00:36:36,162
Yeah.
483
00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,174
Well, they do. Except...
484
00:36:39,477 --> 00:36:43,038
It would be a lot easier
if I could look at you
when I'm talking to you.
485
00:36:43,114 --> 00:36:44,513
Not for me.
486
00:36:45,349 --> 00:36:46,714
Except what?
487
00:36:47,018 --> 00:36:48,815
Except for this kinky law.
488
00:36:48,886 --> 00:36:51,548
A company can buy a book
for $1 million.
489
00:36:51,622 --> 00:36:54,056
But, when the copyright
renewal time comes up...
490
00:36:54,125 --> 00:36:57,253
if the author has died,
they don't own it.
491
00:36:57,328 --> 00:37:00,126
It's not theirs anymore.
Can you believe that?
492
00:37:00,198 --> 00:37:02,257
No. Are you sure?
493
00:37:03,734 --> 00:37:04,860
Positive.
494
00:37:04,969 --> 00:37:08,132
17 U.S.C. 24.
It's all there.
495
00:37:08,206 --> 00:37:09,696
What's all that?
496
00:37:09,774 --> 00:37:12,402
Title 17, United States Code,
Section 24.
497
00:37:12,476 --> 00:37:15,172
You mean to say
somebody can spend
$1 million for a book...
498
00:37:15,246 --> 00:37:17,544
and just because
the author happens to die...
499
00:37:17,615 --> 00:37:20,550
before the renewal time,
they don't own it?
500
00:37:20,818 --> 00:37:22,080
That's it.
501
00:37:22,153 --> 00:37:25,520
The rights go to his widow,
our friend Elizabeth Gorman.
502
00:37:27,191 --> 00:37:30,752
And that's exactly
what happened with
The Dark and Bloody Ground.
503
00:37:30,828 --> 00:37:33,922
They were half way
through the picture
when her husband died.
504
00:37:33,998 --> 00:37:36,296
That's when Clyde Russell
moved in.
505
00:37:36,667 --> 00:37:39,898
Elizabeth didn't know
she suddenly owned
the rights to the book.
506
00:37:39,971 --> 00:37:41,461
So, Clyde made a deal
with her...
507
00:37:41,539 --> 00:37:44,269
and then he hit
the motion picture company
for 25%.
508
00:37:44,342 --> 00:37:46,833
The biggest thing
since Birth of a Nation, yeah.
509
00:37:47,578 --> 00:37:51,412
Which makes Clyde Russell
an opportunist,
not a murderer.
510
00:37:51,482 --> 00:37:53,347
Jim, Clyde Russell...
511
00:37:53,417 --> 00:37:54,475
[phone ringing]
512
00:37:54,552 --> 00:37:56,452
Would you excuse me
a minute?
513
00:37:59,323 --> 00:38:00,255
Hello?
514
00:38:00,658 --> 00:38:01,852
Mr. Rockford?
515
00:38:02,293 --> 00:38:03,760
It's Clyde Russell.
516
00:38:04,095 --> 00:38:07,030
Now, tell me, you are
a private investigator,
aren't you?
517
00:38:07,898 --> 00:38:08,887
That's right.
518
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,601
Well, I've been thinking over
what happened
at the track today...
519
00:38:12,670 --> 00:38:15,935
and I think we gotta talk
about Kevin Calhoun.
520
00:38:17,942 --> 00:38:20,536
I bought
the old Blackford place at...
521
00:38:20,611 --> 00:38:24,980
3972, Ambazac Road in Bel Air.
Do you know the house?
522
00:38:25,449 --> 00:38:27,280
Yeah, I think I know
where it is.
523
00:38:27,351 --> 00:38:30,081
Just let yourself
in the back way.
The gate will be open...
524
00:38:30,154 --> 00:38:31,746
and come straight
to the pool house.
525
00:38:31,822 --> 00:38:33,312
The pool house.
526
00:38:35,993 --> 00:38:38,393
If you're finished,
I'd like to finish.
527
00:38:39,930 --> 00:38:42,865
Clyde Russell resigned
from the Bar.
528
00:38:44,235 --> 00:38:45,702
Don't you get it?
529
00:38:45,770 --> 00:38:50,139
Nobody resigns from the Bar
unless they got something
pretty shady to hide.
530
00:38:50,841 --> 00:38:54,140
Clyde Russell is a high-class
ambulance chaser.
531
00:38:54,845 --> 00:38:57,211
Only he chases copyrights.
532
00:38:58,182 --> 00:38:59,979
Kevin Calhoun was a writer.
533
00:39:00,051 --> 00:39:02,110
No, Kevin Calhoun was a poet.
534
00:39:02,186 --> 00:39:05,178
He grossed a fat $15,
$20 a year for his work.
535
00:39:06,290 --> 00:39:08,087
Well, there's something there.
536
00:39:08,159 --> 00:39:10,093
And don't ask me what,
'cause I don't know.
537
00:39:10,161 --> 00:39:12,686
Why don't we just go up
to Russell's place
and ask him?
538
00:39:12,763 --> 00:39:14,458
After what happened
at the track today?
539
00:39:14,532 --> 00:39:16,500
You couldn't get
in the back gate.
540
00:39:17,435 --> 00:39:18,834
$10 says I can.
541
00:39:21,739 --> 00:39:22,831
You're on.
542
00:40:15,726 --> 00:40:17,591
(Beth)
Shall I call an ambulance?
543
00:40:29,540 --> 00:40:31,371
He won't need
an ambulance.
544
00:40:35,613 --> 00:40:37,080
I'll be all right.
545
00:40:39,049 --> 00:40:42,109
Let's see
if we can find a phone
in the house. Come on.
546
00:40:51,962 --> 00:40:53,429
Go call the police.
547
00:41:01,172 --> 00:41:02,696
[Tires screeching]
548
00:42:29,093 --> 00:42:30,526
[Car honking]
549
00:43:03,856 --> 00:43:05,847
[Police radio chattering]
550
00:43:13,503 --> 00:43:15,698
What happened?
Do you know how long
I've been waiting?
551
00:43:15,772 --> 00:43:17,103
I got hung up
at the hospital.
552
00:43:17,173 --> 00:43:18,105
You're hurt.
553
00:43:18,174 --> 00:43:21,075
No, I'm fine. Elliot Malcolm
got messed up pretty good,
though.
554
00:43:21,144 --> 00:43:22,634
Elliot killed Clyde?
555
00:43:22,712 --> 00:43:24,805
Yeah, and he tried
to kill us.
556
00:43:24,881 --> 00:43:25,973
Me, twice.
557
00:43:26,049 --> 00:43:27,744
I don't believe it.
He's not the type.
558
00:43:27,817 --> 00:43:30,615
Because he went
to the right schools?
He's the type.
559
00:43:30,687 --> 00:43:32,154
He's just not very good
at it.
560
00:43:32,221 --> 00:43:33,483
Has he confessed?
561
00:43:33,556 --> 00:43:36,218
He won't even give the cops
his unlisted phone number.
562
00:43:36,292 --> 00:43:39,728
But if I figured it out,
they're going
to be right behind me.
563
00:43:39,796 --> 00:43:43,425
Come on, I want to get
to Elizabeth Gorman's
before they do.
564
00:44:05,955 --> 00:44:07,513
[Knocking on door]
565
00:44:15,031 --> 00:44:16,623
Elliot, I have been...
566
00:44:17,900 --> 00:44:20,027
When it's bad news,
I knock first.
567
00:44:23,773 --> 00:44:26,606
Look, Mr. Rockford,
if you persist
on coming in here...
568
00:44:26,676 --> 00:44:28,109
I'm gonna
have to call the police.
569
00:44:28,177 --> 00:44:29,576
You won't have to.
570
00:44:30,813 --> 00:44:33,077
They should be along
any minute.
571
00:44:33,149 --> 00:44:36,710
Elliot Malcolm's
in the prison ward
at the Santa Monica Hospital.
572
00:44:37,954 --> 00:44:38,852
Is he...
573
00:44:38,921 --> 00:44:41,082
He'll be fine in time
for the trial.
574
00:44:41,157 --> 00:44:42,454
What trial?
575
00:44:42,525 --> 00:44:45,392
He's been charged
with the murder
of Clyde Russell.
576
00:44:45,862 --> 00:44:47,352
I don't believe you.
577
00:44:48,531 --> 00:44:51,557
You don't have to,
you can check it out
with the cops.
578
00:44:51,701 --> 00:44:54,465
Clyde had nothing to do
with Kevin Calhoun's murder.
579
00:44:54,537 --> 00:44:55,936
He didn't even know
about it.
580
00:44:56,005 --> 00:44:57,996
But he figured it out.
581
00:44:58,675 --> 00:45:01,974
So he had to go.
Elliot was just
protecting you.
582
00:45:02,045 --> 00:45:05,208
Or should I say,
he was protecting
his investment?
583
00:45:06,416 --> 00:45:08,407
He's talking now,
Elizabeth.
584
00:45:09,085 --> 00:45:12,953
And he's going to keep
right on talking. He's got
nothing more to lose.
585
00:45:13,723 --> 00:45:15,816
Don't you want to know
what he's talking about?
586
00:45:15,892 --> 00:45:19,123
Might help you
with your answers
when the police get here.
587
00:45:19,862 --> 00:45:22,922
Well, I certainly don't need
any help with any answers.
588
00:45:23,032 --> 00:45:26,092
Not even when they start
asking you
about your husband?
589
00:45:27,470 --> 00:45:31,065
Mr. Rockford,
would you mind leaving?
590
00:45:32,208 --> 00:45:34,472
I mean, I don't believe a word
you've said.
591
00:45:34,544 --> 00:45:36,512
I don't believe
that Clyde is dead.
592
00:45:36,579 --> 00:45:40,242
And I don't believe
that Elliot is
in any prison hospital.
593
00:45:40,316 --> 00:45:44,218
I don't know
what you're gaining by lying
to me like this, but...
594
00:45:46,122 --> 00:45:48,420
I'm warning you.
Just leave me alone.
595
00:45:48,725 --> 00:45:50,158
You are alone.
596
00:45:55,932 --> 00:45:58,093
This came off
during the accident.
597
00:45:59,202 --> 00:46:01,796
"To Elliot, with all my love.
598
00:46:03,639 --> 00:46:04,765
Elizabeth."
599
00:46:17,086 --> 00:46:19,953
According to this,
your husband was killed
in a boating accident...
600
00:46:20,022 --> 00:46:23,287
off the coast of Mexico.
Only his body
was never recovered.
601
00:46:25,328 --> 00:46:28,161
Kevin Calhoun
was Steven Gorman.
602
00:46:30,133 --> 00:46:32,226
When he heard about the movie,
he showed up here...
603
00:46:32,301 --> 00:46:34,235
to get his slice of the money.
604
00:46:34,771 --> 00:46:37,296
And you killed him
to protect your interest.
605
00:46:37,740 --> 00:46:39,230
[Siren wailing]
606
00:46:50,620 --> 00:46:52,212
I thought he was dead.
607
00:46:52,488 --> 00:46:54,888
For three years
I had to live with that.
608
00:46:55,792 --> 00:46:57,384
Believe me, that hurt.
609
00:46:57,493 --> 00:47:00,656
And then one day,
the day of the party,
he shows up...
610
00:47:00,730 --> 00:47:03,426
with a new name,
and a new wife.
611
00:47:04,233 --> 00:47:05,598
No explanations.
612
00:47:06,369 --> 00:47:07,734
And no apologies.
613
00:47:08,905 --> 00:47:10,736
He was there
to collect the money.
614
00:47:10,807 --> 00:47:13,571
No thought to me,
and what I'd been through.
615
00:47:13,643 --> 00:47:16,305
No more thought than
when he faked
the boating accident...
616
00:47:16,379 --> 00:47:19,746
because he didn't have
the courage to ask me
for a divorce.
617
00:47:20,883 --> 00:47:22,475
What he put me through.
618
00:47:23,619 --> 00:47:26,452
Boy, you'll never know
the hell he put me through.
619
00:47:27,456 --> 00:47:29,515
That's why I killed him.
620
00:47:29,859 --> 00:47:31,622
[Police siren wailing]
621
00:47:32,361 --> 00:47:33,555
[Crying]
622
00:47:35,531 --> 00:47:37,863
Have you heard
from Ann Calhoun?
623
00:47:37,934 --> 00:47:40,061
She phoned me
from Flagstaff
this morning.
624
00:47:40,136 --> 00:47:42,627
It'll take a while,
but she'll be
all right.
625
00:47:42,705 --> 00:47:45,071
Ten cents a mile?
I thought it was seven.
626
00:47:45,141 --> 00:47:47,336
It is,
if you're a nostalgia buff.
627
00:47:48,277 --> 00:47:50,268
That toothpaste is still
on here.
628
00:47:50,346 --> 00:47:51,574
That's right.
629
00:47:52,315 --> 00:47:53,339
All right, I'll pay it.
630
00:47:53,416 --> 00:47:54,576
Thanks, sport.
631
00:47:55,518 --> 00:47:59,511
But that spark plug lead
and this brake job...
632
00:47:59,789 --> 00:48:03,122
parts and labor, I'm afraid
that will have to come off.
633
00:48:03,192 --> 00:48:06,218
What are you talking about?
Those represent attempts
on my life...
634
00:48:06,295 --> 00:48:08,490
and yours,
in the line of duty.
635
00:48:08,564 --> 00:48:11,362
Attempts that were
only possible
because of your negligence.
636
00:48:11,434 --> 00:48:12,924
You should have
locked your car.
637
00:48:13,002 --> 00:48:15,436
The hood?
There's no lock
on the hood.
638
00:48:15,504 --> 00:48:17,233
Then I suggest
you have one installed.
639
00:48:17,306 --> 00:48:20,469
This sort of thing
must crop up all the time
in the line of work you do.
640
00:48:20,543 --> 00:48:21,703
Just give it back to me.
641
00:48:21,777 --> 00:48:25,736
Forget the expenses. I don't
want to talk about it anymore.
Give us two tacos, please.
642
00:48:25,815 --> 00:48:27,806
Just pay me
for my services
and we're even.
643
00:48:27,884 --> 00:48:31,217
Don't be ridiculous, Jim.
I'm going to pay
for your services.
644
00:48:31,287 --> 00:48:34,814
And your expenses.
Just as soon
as Ann Calhoun pays me.
645
00:48:34,891 --> 00:48:36,051
That wasn't our deal.
646
00:48:36,125 --> 00:48:37,922
Of course it was.
647
00:48:38,060 --> 00:48:39,994
Don't tell me
you misunderstood me.
648
00:48:40,062 --> 00:48:42,530
Naturally payment
will take some time.
649
00:48:42,598 --> 00:48:45,032
Ann doesn't have much except
for that piece of property.
650
00:48:45,101 --> 00:48:49,595
And who knows how long
it'll take to sell it how much
she'll get for it? Okay, Beth.
651
00:48:50,473 --> 00:48:52,338
How about a compromise?
652
00:48:52,408 --> 00:48:55,866
I'll forget about Ann Calhoun.
Just wipe it off the books.
653
00:48:55,945 --> 00:48:58,607
You retain me
on the Elizabeth Gorman case.
654
00:48:58,681 --> 00:49:01,343
You owe me that much.
I'm the one
that recommended you.
655
00:49:01,417 --> 00:49:02,543
And she can afford me.
656
00:49:02,618 --> 00:49:04,210
She can afford you.
657
00:49:04,287 --> 00:49:08,348
But she doesn't need you.
I have a brilliant
defense planned.
658
00:49:08,424 --> 00:49:10,221
She'll be out in six months.
659
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,924
But, you know,
I am working on another case.
660
00:49:13,996 --> 00:49:16,590
We could certainly
use your help on that.
661
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:19,791
Of course, the man
is virtually penniless.
662
00:49:19,869 --> 00:49:23,805
But you'll love him, Jim.
He's 70 years old, but alert.
663
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,498
Jim?
664
00:49:28,577 --> 00:49:29,566
Jim?
50730
