(WHISPERING) Rick. A.J.

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

Rick.

(MARLOWE GROWLING)

RICK: It smells good.

Fellas.

Remember hi was a favor?

RICK: Oh, yeah, right. Thank you.

Oh, forget the thanks.

That'll be $7.46.

Ah, right.

A, you got it?

Oh, just a sec.

Here, keep the change.

(RICK SIGHING)

Not you. Get away from there. You got your chew toy.

(SIGHS)

Here. Thanks.

You know, this reminds me

of all those nights I used to spend

in the back seat of your Pontiac at the drive-in.

What do you remember about it? I used to pay you half a buck

to take a dive before the second feature started.

Ooh,

what an education you missed.

Missed? Godzilla had an easier time with Tokyo

than you did with Roberta Travers.

You mean you were... Yeah.

Where do you think I learned to sleep with my eyes open?

(LAUGHING)

(DOOR OPENING)

A.J.: Is he alone?

Yeah, as usual.

(CAR ENGINE REVVING) If this guy is cheating on his wife,

he must be doing it with the invisible woman.

(SIGHING) I hate this kind of work.

(MARLOWE SNARLING)

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

Councilman, why don't we adjourn to the study?

I want you to have one of my Havana cigars.

Although I have to warn you, they're an easy habit to acquire.

Well, I was never a man to pass up a good cigar

or a bad habit.

(ALL LAUGHING) Ladies.

Maria can take care of that, darling.

I'll just take them into the kitchen for you. Oh, let me help you.

No, no. It's all right, Mrs. Maddox. You and Mama can go in the living room.

I'll be in in a minute.

Oh, Helena,

the Governor wants to know if you and Wade can join all of us this weekend.

This is just the beginning.

You can expect the same once a month from now on.

Then I'm not the first.

We have friends on the zoning commission, county supervisors,

even one of our esteemed judicial leaders

gets a box delivered to his house once a month.

In a plain brown wrapper?

(DOOR OPENING)

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

MAN: No, really?

(PEOPLE LAUGHING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Hey, you can't walk through here. We're almost on the air.

Watch me.

Wade.

WADE: That'll be enough powder for today, Jim. Thank you.

The call wasn't a bluff?

No, it wasn't a bluff.

Those papers are gone. I'm going to have to report this to my people.

No, no, no. Not yet, for God's sake.

She's my stepdaughter. Let me handle it.

Your stepdaughter could go to the District Attorney

and have you indicted for bribery.

Carolyn won't do anything until she calls her mother.

Just keep your goons away from her and she won't panic.

We don't enlist the services of goons,

and we don't back losers. We don't like mistakes.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR) Now, I want those papers back.

MAN: One minute, Mr. Christian.

I said I want those papers back,

or you won't be reading the news.

You'll be the news.

MAN 1: This is the KSDC Evening News, San Diego's favorite news

with Wade Christian and Betty Spahn. MAN 2: Five,

four, three... Art Landon with sports...

two... and Earl LeMasters with the weather.

On the air.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Wade Christian.

Tonight marks the beginning of the last week

that you'll be seeing me here on Channel Three.

This Friday, I file as a candidate for city council

in the upcoming general election.

Not that that's today's top news story, Betty.

BETTY: I don't know about that, Wade.

It seems like a pretty important story to us.

And needless to say, we are going to miss you.

Thank you. Needless to say, I'm going to miss all of you.

Now, turning to the international front...

(MARIACHI BAND PLAYING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

A.J.: My wallet! Excuse me, I...

Somebody stole my wallet,

(CAMERA CLICKING) my money and my credit cards

and everything in my pocket, and...

Somebody stole my wallet. I want to know where it is.

(WHISTLING)

(EXCLAIMS)

Well, what do you know? It was there all along.

Well, that was just an honest mistake.

It could happen to anybody, you know.

Sorry, folks. Buenos dias.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Well,

at least she doesn't have to worry about her husband seeing another woman.

Really? I hope you got the photographs.

You better hope I got them.

I do hope you got them

I got them. I got them.

All four wheels still there?

All four hubcaps are still there.

I hate this kind of work.

(SINGING IN SPANISH)

Thank you, amigo.

(SPEAKING SPANISH) No, no.

No, thank you. A.J., drop me off at the boat on the way to the office.

A.J.: Sorry. Nope.

The case is closed.

Oh, no, it isn't.

Yes, it is.

Where were you born?

San Diego.

What are you bringing back from Mexico?

Him.

A.J.: The case is not closed.

You know perfectly well we've got to write a report,

we've got to meet with the client, we've got to get paid.

RICK: Yeah, I know, but it's Wednesday already. You can do it.

Look, Rick, the only reason I used to clean up your room for you when we were kids

was 'cause you'd beat me up if I didn't.

I beat you up even if you did.

Yeah, but you can't do that now.

Besides, we're supposed to be adults. We're supposed to be partners.

And if we're partners, how come you get paid more money than I do?

A.J.: 'Cause I work more than you do.

RICK: Okay, so what's the problem?

I got enough money for the week. I'm punching out.

That's terrific logic. Just terrific.

Hi, Janet.

Hey, since you're over here, how about doing us a favor

and getting this film developed just as soon as you can?

Also, would you call Mrs. Porter... AJ...

and please tell her that she can come by and pick up her report.

A.J., could you wait just a minute?

There is a client in there.

For real? For real.

Well, great. That's two this month.

I'm sorry you had to wait. Won't you please sit down?

May I get you some coffee?

No, I don't wish anything, thank you.

My name is Helena Christian.

My daughter's been missing for three days, and I haven't heard from her

and I'm terribly worried.

I want you to find her for me.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi.

Hey, I just want you to know you make me mad.

I don't blame you.

I make me mad, too.

What were you doing last night?

I was working.

(SCOFFING) I'll bet.

I'm not working now.

I don't care.

I just came over here to tell you I'm not coming over here again.

Okay.

(PHONE RINGING)

What? A.J.: We got another job.

I don't want another job. You'll like this one.

No, I won't. It's a pretty girl.

A.J., I already got a little bit of that trouble right here.

Missing three days.

Three days?

Wade Christian's daughter.

What, the newscaster's wife? Uh-huh. Get an image?

Yeah... Hey!

Forget it. No, Connie, wait just...

Hang on, AJ. Connie, wait just a...

Did I call at a bad time?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Just wait a couple of minutes and let me get some clothes on.

And A.J., this better be good.

A.J.: Sorry to spoil your afternoon.

Do you mind telling me where we are?

The daughter's apartment.

RICK: Okay. A.J.: We've got just one little problem.

RICK: What's that? A.J. Her mother didn't happen to have a key.

RICK: Oh, great.

A.J.: Rick, will you please use a credit card? We haven't got all day.

I am trying to concentrate here.

I want you to know that I get paid extra for breaking and entering.

How you doing? Hi.

Look, will you please use the damn credit card?

That her?

There's something not right here.

This place has been searched

by somebody who knew what he was doing.

(PHONE RINGING)

Is this Carolyn Perry?

Not here.

I'm just a plumber.

I'm calling 555-8371?

Yeah, that's the number.

The lady's not here. You want me to take a message?

(DIAL TONE)

Hung up.

(PHONE RINGING)

Yeah? TOLLIVER: Hey, it's Tolliver.

Mr. Fowler, I got the Carolyn Perry apartment staked out

in La Jolla. MYRON: Yeah?

Looks like we got some competition here, sir.

Rick and A.J. Simon. On our case?

What the hell are you talking about?

Are you sure?

A J.:"720.794 ♪

What are you doing?

Working.

A J.: "720.794 A.261 L.C."

RICK: Okay.

A.J.: Okay what?

She went somewhere on a trip.

Oh, yeah? How do you know that?

Well, there's no hair dryer in her bathroom.

Ever know a girl who didn't have a hair dryer in the bathroom?

Also, there's no suitcase, no bathing suit, no tennis shoes.

She went to visit somebody at the beach.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Rick.

I believe you gentlemen are under arrest.

You don't understand, Officer.

We are, in fact,

duly-licensed private investigators.

Hey, would you look at that?

You know, I've been meaning to get my kid one of these.

Let's go.

I'm gonna call Janet and get us out of here.

Got a cigarette?

No, I'm sorry. I don't smoke.

You got a dollar to buy us some cigarettes?

You got a light?

Mmm-hmm.

I'll even smoke it for you.

(CHUCKLING)

Would you tell her to hurry?

(MEN CHEERING)

(INMATES APPLAUDING)

So this is what it's like to be a private detective.

Glamorous, exciting...

Rick.

Rick.

Thanks, sweetheart. How did you get us out?

Actually, Daddy fixed it.

Your father did us a favor?

Not exactly a favor.

Get the hell out of my office!

(CHUCKLING) Hey.

What's with you guys, huh?

Come on, didn't I get you out of jail last night?

Yeah, right after you had us put in yesterday afternoon.

Well, what was I supposed to do?

One of my operatives reported a crime in progress.

Now, you two guys broke into that apartment.

You hear me? You broke in.

Now a good investigator

never has to resort to criminal activities.

Hey, but what the hell? I'll tell you what.

No hard feelings, okay?

Now, why don't you get out of my chair?

RICK: No hard feelings, Myron,

but we were on a case, doing our job, and you tried to shaft us.

Wait a minute. No, you wait a minute.

One of your operatives saw us? What was one of your operatives even doing there?

How am I supposed to know that?

I got a lot of clients.

I mean, I can't look after everything all by myself.

It was probably a coincidence.

Coincidence? Hell, Myron, you had that apartment staked out.

That's confidential information.

Myron, professional courtesy suggests

that in a situation like this,

we pool our information.

No, it doesn't.

You talk to me about professional courtesy?

I started you out in this business. I trained you personally,

but what do you do? You stab me in the back.

You take business away from me.

You corrupt my only daughter.

Daddy!

After what I'm paying to put you through law school,

you got to hang around with these two-bit con artists.

These two-bit con artists take me seriously,

which is something you've never done.

Sweetheart, they take you seriously

because there's just one thing they want from you.

Yeah, I know.

Aren't they cute?

You get your butt out of my chair now!

You asking me to throw you out? No.

I sure do wish you'd try, though.

Myron, let's be practical here.

Professional courtesy suggests

that if you don't tell us who this client is,

well, we may have to start telling people about,

say, the Shepherd case.

Oh. Mmm-hmm.

Or the Seigler case.

Good one, yes.

Oh!

That adultery case, what was the name again? Singer.

Tolliver!

Who were we working for out in La Jolla yesterday?

Wade Christian, the newscaster.

But we aren't on it anymore.

I just found out that he called in yesterday

and he fired us.

Fired us?

Yes.

And he hired

them.

(GRUNTS)

Well, I don't want to get you wet,

but I got to get my 40 laps in every day. Keeps the old ticker in shape.

Well, you must be the detectives Helena hired.

Well, yes, we're the detectives

that stumbled over the detectives that you hired.

And fired after three days when they did nothing.

Gentlemen, I apologize for the trouble I caused you,

but you may be happy to know I've been calling around.

I hear good things about you. A lawyer friend of mine says you get results.

And our rates are lower.

That's not important to me.

Look, you find Carolyn.

Find her by, let's say, Friday, there's a nice bonus in it for you.

You wouldn't happen to have any idea why she would take off?

I don't know. Boy trouble?

Maybe an old boy trouble. It's been at least two weeks

since the last time she fell in love.

That's ridiculous, Wade. There's something wrong.

Helena, we don't know that yet.

I think Mrs. Christian is right.

If Carolyn is in trouble, I don't want you standing around here.

Get out, find her, bring her home.

We'll find her.

One question.

If she doesn't want to come home, what then?

Well, just have her call us.

Okay, but a phone call will do it?

Yes.

All right. Okay, we'll get back to you.

Details at eleven.

Very funny. Remember, Friday if you want the bonus.

A.J.: Of course, most of what we turn up in a case like this is perfectly routine.

But you're sure it's not another woman?

Absolutely, Mrs. Porter. I guarantee it.

Now, some people prefer not to see the pictures,

but I want you to have your mind at ease.

We've documented just about everything your husband does in a typical day.

In fact, I'm sure you're gonna recognize a lot of these faces.

I know, it is an invasion of privacy,

but you feel you have a marriage at stake.

I don't need to see them.

You sure? I'm sure. You keep them.

Okay.

And I have a check for you.

Oh, great. Thank you very much.

But you are certain?

Mrs. Porter,

you are the only woman in your husband's life, I promise.

Hey, we can finally pay some bills.

RICK: Did you give her the pictures? A No, I didn't.

Oh, you've got a kind heart. I know.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm really your brother.

RICK: Well, according to Mom, you're not.

Oh, yeah, I'm here.

What is this? A book you're interested in?

RICK: All right, now that's a girls' dorm on campus?

A.J.: What? That's a file number.

All right, can you give me the complete name and address?

You know, a library book, Dewey decimal system.

A.J., isn't that why you wrote it down?

Well, as a matter of fact, I didn't.

Carolyn Perry wrote it down. I just copied it.

That's a book?

That's a book.

RICK: Oh, terrific. Thanks a lot.

Hello.

Hi.

Lawyers spend a lot of time at the library.

Don't they?

How'd you like to find the book that goes with this number?

You got it.

Thank you. A.J., I think I got a live one over here.

I've found one of her friends.

Hot damn.

Ball game on?

No, I was planning to watch the news.

WADE ON TN.: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Wade Christian.

That guy couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

Credibility was the buzzword in Washington today.

(MAN SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

What the hell's the matter with you?

Nothing.

Haven't you ever felt like throwing a glass of tequila at a television set before?

No. I thought you came down here to have a good time,

but you've been acting like the police are after you.

Not the police.

Look, Chuy, I'm into something way over my head.

Well, maybe I can help you, querida.

No. You can't help.

This is something I have to do myself.

Now it's done.

Oh, Chuy, I'm scared.

Hey, you guys, you can't go in there after 7:00. Regs.

Oh, that's all right. We've got a note from the Dean.

(GIRL SCREAMING) There's men in the hall!

(GIRLS SCREAMING) Ladies, please.

No reason to panic. We're not rapists.

Hell, we're not even students.

GIRL: Did somebody invite these guys?

Hi. Shelly Major?

Who are you?

Private investigators.

Oh, come on. No, no, seriously we are. Just...

GIRL: Men in the hall!

Show her your I.D. Can we come in for a second?

Hi.

Is this supposed to be real?

Yes, ma'am.

Um, you're a friend of Carolyn Perry's.

Is something wrong?

Well, she's been missing for four days. We're trying to find her.

Missing? Is she in trouble?

RICK: Well, we don't know. We were kind of hoping you could tell us.

You have any idea why she might run away or where she might go?

Uh-uh. Unless... Unless what?

Well, she went down to Ensenada a couple of weekends ago.

I think she's got a guy down there.

Do you know his name?

Uh-uh.

Do you think that might be where she is?

Maybe.

I don't think she liked me.

Mister, you give me a dollar and I polish your car for you real nice.

No, no, no, no, you'll scratch the paint.

A.J., maybe you better let me handle this.

Look, I thank you, that's very kind, but I really don't want you to polish my car.

Okay? Hey, no problem.

You give me $2 and I don't polish your car.

$2? Yeah, $2.

All right, you handle this.

Oye, muchacho. You want to make a couple of bucks?

Sure. All right, I'll tell you what.

We're looking for somebody down here driving a yellow sports car,

California license, 1-5-6-P-C-E.

You find that car for us, I'll give you $5.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

What if I already know where it is?

Great. Where?

That's going to cost you $20.

$7.50.

$15, man.

$12, and that's my last offer, okay? $9.50.

Look, I'll give it to you for $11, all right, and that's a big discount.

$10. Deal.

All right, take me to it.

It's right across the street, right over there. You see it?

Right back there. So long, tonto.

(BOY LAUGHING)

Well, since you handled that so nicely,

we'll just take the $10 out of your salary, okay?

Just let me catch him! Forget it. Let him go.

Besides, remember what Dad always used to say. What?

"You can't run with both feet in your mouth."

Come on, he never said that.

Well, if he didn't, he certainly should have.

Do you know those guys?

No.

Give me your keys. I'll take your car somewhere and see if they follow me.

If they do, I'll lose them.

You wait for me at the cantina later on, okay?

Okay, but be careful.

Al right.

Nice car. Where's the girl that owns it?

Belongs to my brother.

Your brother Carolyn?

Hey!

Who were those guys?

I don't know. But I think we ought to ask Carolyn.

Easy. Let's not spook her. She can't go anywhere. She doesn't have any wheels.

Who the hell were those other guys?

SLATER: That's not her.

ASHLEY: Yeah, but it's her car.

He's got to know where she is.

(YELLING IN SPANISH)

(MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING)

Hi.

Hey.

Stay away.

Hey, come on, look. I just wanna buy you a drink.

Look, I don't know what it is you're afraid of, but we're not it.

You work for him, don't you?

For whom? Look, we are private investigators.

Your mother hired us, asked us to find out where you are

and make sure you're all right. That's it.

Is that the truth?

Well, here you go.

Make the call yourself. You find out.

I can't talk to her yet.

Can't you just tell her you couldn't find me?

Sure.

You wanna give us about six good reasons why we should?

I can't even give you one.

What if I wrote you a note? You could take it to her and tell her I'm okay.

Carolyn, your mother doesn't want a note.

She wants to hear your voice.

You call her, I'll talk to her.

Al right.

(WHISTLING)

Help me with him!

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

You know something? This stuff works a lot better when you drink it.

Chuy, what happened?

Two guys, gringos, they ran me off the road.

Listen, they were looking for you and they had guns.

What did you tell them?

I told them they were breaking my arm.

They damn near did.

Then I told them I was going to meet Carolyn over at my house.

I guess I was yelling like crazy because they believed me.

Your car, it got a little smashed up.

That's all right, Chuy. I don't care about that.

Yes, but the police did.

Did they find the registration?

Yes, that's why it took me so long to get here.

They found your registration, and they got your name.

What does that mean?

Look, in Mexico if you have an accident, it's not like in the States.

Over here until you can prove that you're innocent,

they assume that the owner of the car is guilty.

And they don't let you leave the country. What?

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

They told me they were going to tell la migra. You try to cross the border,

United States Customs will hold you there.

Well,

I know who those men are and why they're after me.

I only wish I knew which side you were on.

How about yours?

CAROLYN: The more I tell you about this, the more danger you'll be in.

I hope you realize that.

RICK: Danger is our business, sweetheart.

Wade Christian isn't what he seems to be. He's a puppet.

And the men who pull his strings are gangsters

from back east somewhere,

with a lot of money, gambling money, I don't know.

He's been bribing people in the city government.

A lot of people. I don't know how many,

but I know that he's got at least one person on the zoning commission

and on the city council in his pocket.

Wade Christian is running for city council. That's right.

They're running him for office like a racehorse.

And when he's elected, they'll have all the influence they need

to launder their dirty money into real estate, or anything else they want.

And the good people of San Diego are going to vote Wade Christian into office

because he's Mr. Wonderful on the news and it makes me sick.

And I just wanted to do something about it.

But I was really afraid of what it would do to my mother.

No guts, huh?

You got plenty of guts, lady.

Rick, who is this guy we're looking for, anyway?

He's a coyote, he's a friend of mine.

He smuggles people across the border.

(MAN YELLING IN SPANISH)

Enrique!

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

You taking good care of my car for me, eh?

My car.

One of these days you're going to sell it to me.

Yeah, well, I wouldn't count on it.

(SPEAKING IN SPANISH)

Any problems?

No, no, no. No problems. No problems.

I'm going to take you across the border.

Good man.

But the car is going to have to stay here.

My car?

Hey, man, don't look so worried.

I'll take great care of it.

A.J., we've got a problem. Yeah, you bet we do.

No, no, no, look, we're going to have somebody stateside

waiting there to pick us up when we get back.

Oh, no. Well, you're going to have to do it.

Oh, come on, why do I have to do it? Because she likes you better.

Oh, that's nonsense. That is not nonsense.

She always has and she always will. Come on, Rick,

you were paranoid when you were 10, you're paranoid now.

A, get your butt in there!

Hi, Mom. Hi.

No, no. I'm down in Tijuana.

If this was your idea, getting me out at this hour...

What's that smell?

Hi, Mom.

Where's your brother?

Hi, Mom. Hi.

Mom. Hi.

This is Carolyn Perry. Carolyn, this is my mother.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Simon.

Call me Cecilia, dear. Oh, thank you.

This trouble you're in, is either one of them responsible?

No.

Then don't you worry. My boys will take care of it for you.

Rick, take a bath and go to bed.

Look, Ma...

Mom, I don't live here anymore, remember?

It won't hurt you to sleep on clean sheets for a change,

or eat a decent breakfast in the morning. Take a bath.

Yes, ma'am.

If you need anything, I'm down the hall.

Oh, thank you very much.

Good night, Mom.

You all right?

Yes.

No.

CAROLYN: Dear Mother,

I wish I didn't have to be the one to tell you this.

I wish I had the courage to tell you face-to-face.

I know how much Wade means to you.

But Mother, I can't let him be elected to city council

when all he's doing is fronting for criminals and gangsters.

I know you can't believe all this is true, but it is.

I did something tonight to prove it.

I stole papers from Wade's office.

That's why I have to go away and hide,

but I want you to know, I'll be all right.

And as soon as Wade is arrested, I'll come home.

I don't want you caught up in the middle of this.

If you give the papers to the District Attorney,

then there's no way anyone will think you had anything to do with it.

They're in a book at the university library.

I've written the number down for you. Just open the book and you'll find everything.

I love you, Mother, and I'm sorry.

(BUSY TONE)

It's busy.

Well, even if she hasn't gotten the letter yet,

I think I'll tell her to meet us at the library,

and I'll explain it to her there.

The library?

Yeah, I hid the papers in a book I was using for a report.

Hasn't been checked out in six months, so I figured they'd be safe there.

Yeah, well, they might have been, but...

Might have been?

Aren't these the papers you were looking for?

A.J.: Janet.

Well, you asked me to find the book, didn't you?

(PHONE RINGING)

Christian residence.

Hello, Maria. This is Carolyn. Is my mother there?

No, Miss Carolyn. She just left.

She said something about going to the library.

Carolyn.

I've been so worried about you.

And then I got your letter.

You should've have come to me, darling. We could've talked about this.

I was afraid to. Oh, Mom, it's been such a nightmare.

What's wrong?

Those men, they followed me down to Mexico.

You told him.

Wade? Of course I called him.

I had to.

Oh, Mom...

Oops.

HELENA: Darling, be sensible.

You didn't happen to bring a gun, did you?

Who, me?

Where do you think you're going?

Buying our way out of here, I hope.

Protect you? I was afraid of what it would do to you, Mama!

There's been no damage done. What?

We could forget this ever happened.

You're wrong to think badly of us. We're not criminals.

Things like this are done every day in business and politics.

It's the way things are done.

But does that make it right?

Yes. I'm afraid it does.

Goodbye, Mother. Carolyn.

Let her go!

You have the papers yet?

We'll get them. Don't you hurt her.

Nobody gets hurt.

She's yours as soon as we have the papers.

Carolyn, it's over.

You know where the book is. Give them the papers and then we can talk.

Oh, there's nothing to talk about, Mother.

But there is. Please?

I'll show you where they are.

CAROLYN: There.

Carolyn.

There's nothing in here!

Pardon me, is this where I'd find the Pre-Socratic philosophers?

(SCREAMING)

Let's go!

Let them go! No!

Stop the car, Carolyn!

Carolyn! Please.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Wade Christian.

In the top of the news this evening, local narcotics officials

have just announced the largest drug bust in San Diego County history.

Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen.

Teams of officers... Two years... I...

WOMAN: (WHISPERING) What is Wade doing?

Over $25 million in heroin and cocaine...

Oh, my God.

MAN 1: (WHISPERING) Camera one. Lose Wade and go to Betty.

CAMERAMAN: (WHISPERING) I'm on Betty already.

MAN 1: (WHISPERING) Camera three, go to Betty!

(WOMAN WHISPERING)

Go graphic.

MAN 2: Are we still on the air?

MAN 1: Get the technical.

(BEEPING ON TN )

JANET: I'm not a lawyer yet,

but the way I read the law, your mother wasn't really an accessory,

and she didn't actually obstruct justice.

I don't think she'll be indicted.

At least that's something.

I suppose I should be with her tonight.

I don't want to.

Tomorrow.

Couldn't we go have some fun?

You got it. I know a great little spot over in Coronado.

You got a date, lady?

Well, I do now.

Hey, before we go, could you please call Enrique?

I already called him. He had to go visit a cousin in Mexicali.

Cousin in Mexicali? In my car?

A, take it easy. He's a great driver.

A Rick!

A.J., we had two cases this week. I'll buy dinner, all right?

The food in this place is really great.

Oh, great, I'm starving.

A, you got any cash on you?

I thought you were buying dinner.

Well, yeah, but I just thought of something.

Who's going to pay us for this job?
