Original subtitles

Give me your money. I won't. Then just do it.

Now, give me your ring. It was my mother's. I don't care. It's worth more.

Now, the ring.

I don't want them.

Give me the ring.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Yeah, that's him.

Yeah, that's the guy.

Anything you want to add?

No. You got him right.

I mean, when he got the goggles off, I could see him real good.

His hair.

It was just like that.

So how are we doing?

This is a drawing from Andy's description.

And this one came out of robbery.

You sure about this now?

I know what I saw.

Okay, thanks, son.

Good work.

Thanks, Andy.

Six robberies with assault in the last ten weeks. Yeah, and this time he left a

dead body.

What about Northeast Division? Did they give us any prints or anything like

that? Not one thing.

Run off a couple of hundred of these and get them out on the streets. Maybe

somebody will recognize this guy.

All units,

possible make on the ATM alongside...

at 413 Hyperion. R21 requests backup.

R20 Charles, R21 Charles.

Molenski, I have a five -minute ETA.

What do you got?

He's in that bar over there. He's been in and out a couple of times.

Matter of fact, that's him now.

Okay, you're sure that's him? Gotta be him.

Okay.

Get out of here. I'm going in the back.

LAPD, I have a word with you for a moment. Stand back and wait for the bar.

Don't move.

Don't... Even.

Get your hands behind your back.

Suspect is down. Send an RA unit.

Quiet down a second here. Quiet down.

The official press notices are being Xeroxed as we speak.

I'm telling you, man, check with the ex.

I was behind only two payments. She said she had the cops out looking for me.

This is why I ran golf at the bar.

Wouldn't you?

I don't know. I never killed anybody.

Captain, give us some details about the suspect you arrested.

The suspect's name is Jack Rowland.

He was arrested in the Silver Lake area by officers Hunter, Malinsky, and

Dorsey. We heard Rowland was injured during his capture.

Well, he tried to evade the officers, and he ran into a flow of traffic where

had a brief encounter with an old station wagon. Was he hospitalized?

The station wagon may not worse.

I was at work last night. I was at work the night you said the other lady got

robbed. You can't get in and out of a place that I work without being videoed.

Why don't you just check it out?

I'm waiting for that information right now.

selected is none other than that exquisite creature of grace and charm,

Cantu.

Crown you, Queen.

Is it the sight of me that makes you frown so?

No, but there are things that I must say to you. Well, honey... And I'm troubled

about how to say them.

How was your day?

Well, I got a first coat on the whole place.

I'm exhausted.

My poor baby.

Money's money.

Oh.

I brought you a present.

What is it? What is it?

Come on, come on, come on. No, no, Will, don't do that again.

I bought it from a private party. What a shame she had to sell it.

Come in the dining room. I have a surprise for you. Let's go out.

Don't be silly. Dinner's ready. I'm not being silly. I'm being spontaneous.

Will, we have to save money.

If you'd sell this place, we could put a half a million dollars in the bank

easy. No, I will not sell Casa Encanta.

Gloria, just listen to me.

Gloria. is worth working for now, isn't she, baby?

Yes.

I lost the handbag Mr. Goldman gave me.

I left it in the homeopathic store.

So did you call them?

Yes. But they didn't have it. Somebody took it.

And it was my favorite.

It was so nice.

Okay, darling.

I will make it all better for you, okay?

And in the course of our attempts to protect the innocent, we do sometimes

a mistake, Mr. Rowland, and I hope that you'll accept the department's apology.

Yeah, well, that sketch almost convinced me I was guilty, so...

Mr. Rowland, once again, I'm very sorry you got hit by a car.

I've taken worse.

Thanks for understanding.

Listen, I hope you guys catch the real guy.

Well, we will, believe me.

Oh, and Mr. Rowland, non -payment of alimony isn't felony.

Check's in the mail.

Thank you.

Oh, boy, Christmas, did we just dodge the bullet or what?

Look, I want a full effort on this thing. Anything you got to do, you got

bring this guy in. Yeah, I will.

I'm going to kick your butt tonight.

Get off the table, man.

The sit -back's not that.

Jack Rowland?

Yeah.

Today's your lucky day.

I agree.

A lawyer?

The lawyer who's going to make you a rich man.

Joanne, do me a favor here, will you, and check this.

A list of pawn shops here for me.

Yeah. Any specific order? No, uh, it's a top priority list, so just pick

whichever one you want and good luck, huh? Thanks.

Hmm,

pawn shops.

Could use a new blue car.

I'll buy it.

Whatever it is.

Thanks, but I'm a police officer.

Oh.

Then I'll do something wrong, officer.

Actually, maybe you can help us. We're looking for this guy.

We believe he may be trying to pawn some items in the area.

I saw this in the paper. I thought you caught the guy.

If we're not, here's a list of some of the items we might be trying to pawn.

Here's my card.

Did you see him?

Give me a call.

Thanks. Excuse me.

Are you free for dinner?

No.

If you were, would you be?

Just do me a favor. If you see the suspect, give me a call. If he comes by

he's your prisoner.

Officer.

Put the money in your purse.

Now the ring and the watch.

Hey, you turn around and I'll cut your throat.

Come on, hurry up. Let's go.

I'm telling you, they don't have any offense, and that's why they're not

any games.

It's only that guy's too fat to go. Come on, lay off the fat guys.

Captain Devane?

Yeah.

Is there someone here to see you?

Thank you.

Well, Charlie, what do we have here? A little lunchtime treat?

Not really.

Captain Devane.

Miss Maynard, nice to see you again.

This is Detective Sergeant Hunter, Leslie Maynard. Miss Maynard, it's a

pleasure. Sergeant Hunter.

Well, it was a pleasure meeting you. I'll just go about my business.

Oh, no.

Please, join us.

You don't mind, do you, child?

Why don't you have a seat, Miss Minner?

Thank you.

I'm representing Jack Roland.

We're filing suit against the city of Los Angeles and Sergeant Hunter for

personal injury as well as punitive damages.

What? What?

No.

Miss Benjamin, let's get our facts straight here.

Your client accepted my apology in this office and walked down there on his own

power. He didn't look like he had any injuries to me.

Oh, but he does.

His physical and mental health, for example.

It was Metro Division's blatant disregard for the rights of citizens and

personal penchant for unnecessary violence that resulted in this.

A malicious and unwarranted pursuit of my client.

This is ridiculous.

You'll find the specifics in our complaint.

I'm looking forward to seeing you in court.

Did that just happen? Yes, I think it did.

Yeah, Sergeant Hunter, the Sanchez woman is here.

Oh, good. Listen, don't worry about this now.

You talk to the victim, see what she has to say.

I only saw him for a second when he jerked my purse off my shoulder.

Now, what else did he take?

My gold crucifix and the money I got out of the machine.

Okay, look, Julia, until we catch this guy, I recommend you... Cash and checks

from inside the bank or at a neighborhood market near your home.

What?

I can't use an ATM in my own neighborhood in broad daylight?

I might as well go back to New York and live in Central Park.

Baby? I'm home!

She lies on her golden flank, her hair purified

with the strong sun, scented of the rain and the dust.

How about you again?

Oh, it's elegant.

Do you really like it? It's elegant.

Oh, very much.

Very much.

I'm going to have to do something very special for your birthday.

You are special.

And you, my powerful man, what do you desire?

That ring in the dark.

Well, the city attorney's office assigned me to be your counsel.

But you have an obligation as respondent in this case to give depositions, make

court appearances.

So I gotta take time out to deal with some shyster attorney, huh?

Well, you have a lot more to lose than the city does.

Yeah, what does that mean? Well, the city's obliged to pay for your defense.

But if you lose, they're not required to pay your damages. At least that's the

way I understand it. Is that right?

That's right.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah?

Well, a couple of years ago, a police officer from Central Division by the

of Amos Cassidy was sued.

Same circumstances as you're having. Well,

the city didn't come through.

Guy lost his house, kids' college money, everything.

And you could sum up his problems in two words.

Leslie Maynard.

Are you sure that this is legal?

I'm a lawyer. I know what's legal.

Thanks. I want you to wear that necklace whenever you go out.

We have a couple of ways to go here.

Is there any condition you suffer from now that you'd like surgery for?

Basketball knee? Tennis elbow?

No. You're sure?

Yes. Any other aches and pains in the last 36 hours?

Besides the neck.

Nothing, really.

Let me ask you a question.

You must make out pretty well off these kind of deals, don't you?

I do well when my clients do well.

And they're not dealing.

Look, Jack, you're entitled to compensation for what happened to you.

But we can't sue Mother Nature.

You understand?

I've been having a little trouble sleeping the past couple of nights.

Nightmares. No, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I don't remember.

I'm sure it was due to the hot weather.

See this psychiatrist.

See this psychiatrist.

I can't afford to shrink.

All your medical bills will be covered.

Yeah, excuse me.

Mr. Cassidy?

That's right. Amos Cassidy. Yeah.

Sergeant Hunter, LAPD.

We got trouble?

Well, uh, Elliot Rogers said you may be able to help me with the problem I've

been having.

What's that?

Yeah, Leslie Maynard.

Oh.

That woman ruined my life.

What else you want to know?

Well, uh, what the hell happened?

Well, I popped this gangbanger the one night he was in a liquor store to buy

something.

He gets righteous with me, I take him down, I busted his nose.

The damn kid had 14 priors.

The judge said I didn't have probable cause.

The city council decided that I wasn't acting within the cause and scope of my

duties. Hell, I figured my duties were to put these bastards behind bars.

I get stuck for 75 grand.

I was a week this side of Metro.

I passed the orals, I nailed the physical, everything.

Well, I said, screw it.

I won't wear a badge for this damn city.

You got trouble, all right.

That's for damn sure.

I can't believe this is happening.

They want a half a million dollars in damages?

Guy's in a neck brace.

Says he's permanently injured. Yeah, he's gonna be permanently injured, all

right. What I don't understand is why they're suing the city as well.

Standard operating procedure in these cases.

So what do I got to do now? Get a part -time job?

See you later.

Well, I am not selling the house.

Even in the shape it's in, you could get half a million.

We could buy a condo, travel, do anything we want.

I am doing what I want.

But, Gloria, we could travel the world together.

I saw the world when I was making movies.

You saw Burbank.

You didn't even go to Acapulco when you made Acapulco holiday. The rest of the

world is crowded and ugly.

Casa Unconscious, my world.

You are my world.

What

the

hell is this?

Roland. Roland.

Roland.

Hello?

Are you the guy in the papers?

The one that's doing that cop?

Who's this?

I'm warning you.

You will never live to see a nickel of that money.

You want to tell me who this is I'm talking with, please? It's not important

I am.

Just remember, you won't be the first person that I've killed.

Who is this?

Hello?

Well, look, I can't do a deposition, huh?

Come on. It's okay. It's okay. You know you're going to have to tell him, maybe.

I always get nervous around the police.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Tomorrow will be fine.

Sergeant Hunter?

Yeah, just a second. This lady just saw our ATM killer.

How do you know it was him?

Looked just like the picture.

I keep it posted in my church.

Neighborhood watch, community awareness, you know.

Yeah, Rogers, let me call you right back, huh? Yeah, yeah, thanks a lot.

What time did you see this fellow?

Silver Lake again?

Miss Adams said he was shopping for food at the neighborhood market when she saw

him. Captain?

I got a call from Dale Shawn.

He says he's got something for us. I'm headed down to the pawn shop right now.

Good, good.

Get a Merv unit down there. Continue to canvass the neighborhood. Take Maybel

with you and do a house -to -house. Let's get this guy.

Hey, Mr. Shawn. Really appreciate your calling.

What have you got for me?

Well, I think maybe I was a little mistaken.

Oh, what do you mean?

As long as you're here.

I'm about to close. I thought maybe you and I... What the hell do you think

you're doing?

You're not going to get angry, are you?

You must get off duty sometime.

Listen, Buster, you're about a minute and a half from a jail cell.

Hey, I'm just trying to get a date.

I'll get you a date.

With a superior court judge.

I'm sorry.

Okay, here we go.

I saw the man.

with my own eyes, crossing Fountain on Delgado.

When was that?

Just the other day.

They ran right in front of me. I almost hit them.

What do you mean, that?

The old movie star, Gloria Morrell.

She lives right up on Myra.

Oh, tell me about her.

Oh, she's an old -time actress from the 40s and the 50s.

Drives a 1950 Cadillac.

Real strange.

Ignores her neighbors.

hardly ever comes out the house.

But lately, she's been taking walks with this man.

Sergeant, Elliot Rogers is on the phone. He says you're late for your

deposition. Look, I can't talk to Rogers now. Tell him I want fly fishing.

You said when Hunter says he's going fly fishing, tell him those were Cassidy's

last words.

Okay, with Adams, this is Officer Dorsey.

Have her show you the Gloria Morrell home.

Go there with her. Wait until I get there, okay? Thanks very much. Okay.

Why does everything with you have to be a nutritional experience?

Because I love walking in the morning.

Get those endorphins humming.

I'm going to work. I don't know when I'll be back.

Oh, Will, it's your birthday.

You can't resist me. I won't let you.

All right, I'll cut off work early.

First of all, he fit the description of the man we were looking for.

Secondly, when I entered the bar and identified myself to him, he took off

running. Now, up until then, he was a suspect. But when he took off running,

became a prime suspect.

So you weren't certain he was the right man when you walked in?

Not until I talked to him, no.

Yet you chased him through a restaurant?

He said it was a bar.

Into rush hour traffic on a major thoroughfare?

It was not rush hour traffic.

It, uh, it was mid -morning. Yes. Look, how long has this got to go on?

Let the record show the respondent's hostility and his expressed desire to

the death facility. I do have things to do, you know. Yeah, do those things

include issuing death threats?

Now, what the hell does that mean? Aren't we going a little overboard with

fabrications here? My client has received several death threats over the

telephone. Well, it's no wonder.

Would you say that Sergeant Hunter's voice is the same as the voice you heard

the telephone?

Where's Ms. Adams?

Oh, she had to go home. She said she is available if you ever need her again.

She's a kicker. Come on.

Yes? Miss Morrell?

Yes. Gloria Morrell? Yes.

Sergeant Hunt of LAPD.

Please.

I hate to disturb you, but we're looking for a man in this neighborhood.

Have you seen him?

Why, yes. It's Philip. It's Philip Martin.

Philip Martin. So you know him?

Yes.

Is he here?

No, no.

But he did live here. I rented him a room.

He's a nice man.

I see.

Well, the reason I'm asking, Miss Morell, is some of the neighbors have

walking into the neighborhood with him.

Oh, yes.

Oh, well, he did a lot of things for me.

He's a house painter.

He went to the store with me and then...

This neighborhood is really going to the dark, Sergeant, you know.

Now, when was the last time you saw Philip Martin?

Three... Two days ago, when he moved out.

I barely said goodbye.

Do you know where he went?

East.

I think.

He said something about the cold weather.

Miss Morrell, would it be possible for me to come in and look around?

Oh, the place is in a terrible mess. Do you really have to?

Well, if it's an inconvenience, perhaps not. Maybe another day.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you, Sergeant.

Thank you.

Mike from DHC called, said he'd call you direct with Gloria Morrell's telephone

records. Oh, great. Thanks very much. I'll expect his call.

So, uh, what are your chances in this lawsuit?

Oh, I would say they're about as good as a one -armed man juggling chainsaws.

That good, huh?

Yeah, well, it'll be all right, I think.

Let's get it.

Call P -173?

Uh, yeah, thanks. I'll take it at my desk.

Officer Malensky.

This is Dale Shawn.

Look, Mr. Shawn, I really don't have time to waste.

You look so stupid. It's a stupid thing. I can make it up to you.

I got some of your stuff.

Woman's wallet, black.

Wrist watch, gold chain, crucifix, key ring, diamond ring, 3 .1 carats.

When did they come in?

Now. Two minutes ago.

But it wasn't the guy. It was some old bleach blonde actress type.

Gloria Morel.

What's going on?

Happy birthday, Will.

Do you know what happy birthday is in Spanish?

Feliz cumpleaños.

Come.

Very special for your birthday.

Tickets to Acapulco?

First class airfare and hotel accommodation.

You sell the house?

No.

I pawn the little surprises you keep for me in the mannequin.

You pawn my things?

I pawn our things.

And the police were here.

The police?

Wait a minute. When?

Today. Now we can walk on the beach in the moonlight.

Are you nuts?

Throwing away my money on garbage like this?

Hey, Mike, how you doing? Look, thanks for calling back.

Yeah, look, what I needed to know was, what did Dix turn up on Gloria Morrell's

phone printout?

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, go.

Uh -huh.

Jack Rowland, wait a minute. Jack Rowland? R -O -L -A -N -D?

Yeah, when was that?

How many times?

Three times.

Give me his address real quick.

I want my money. Who the hell are you?

I said I want my money. Here, take it, take it, take it.

What's the money you're going to get for suing that cop?

Stop stalling.

Listen, that suit hasn't been settled yet. I just got a divorce and passed.

You got money in the bank, don't you?

What do you mean, the bank? I want it in advance.

Don't you lie to me.

Look, I got like $500 in the bank. That's all.

Then you're dead.

Drop the gun, Willie. Police!

Is he dead?

Yeah, he's dead.

That guy is nuts.

Listen, I want to thank you for what you did for me back there.

I really thought that guy was going to kill me.

Mr. Rowland, you got your damn neck brace.

Sergeant Hunter.

Wow, Miss Maynard.

I take it your client survived his ordeal last night.

I'm happy to say he's just fine.

I just wanted to let you know that... Oh, that's a no apology necessary.

I just wanted to let you know that one incident has nothing to do with the

other. We still intend on proceeding with the suit.

Good.

That'll give me a chance to present my three police officers who saw your

dance around without his neck brace on.

See you in court.

Miss Morrell?

Sergeant Hunter?

Miss Morrell?

I'm ready now.

Miss Morrell, I came by to talk to you about Will.

Oh, is he here?

Yeah, well, that's just it. He won't be coming back.

He's a millionaire playboy, you know.

He could have been a great actor, but he was too rich.

He was too busy to bother.

What about you, Sergeant?

A great profile.

Come to the party tonight.

Of course, you'll have to change.

We're going to have a cast party for Acapulco Holiday.

L .D. is coming.

Hedda will be here.

Sam Spiegel is bringing John Houston.

And you'll get me to have one.

is playing. We're going to samba all night long.

You do know how to samba, don't you, Sergeant?

I do so love to samba.

Well, you can leave rumba.

Sergeant?
