- I am hiring you. - The big one.

Murder one.

[Announcer] Tonight on Simon & Simon...

We're from the San Gabriel Valley chapter of the Knights of Columbus.

- Are you sure about this? - Ah, piece of cake.

Play cards, paleface.

You're accusing the whole department of corruption.

D.A.s have strong-armed witnesses before.

What exactly have you got to lose, huh?

Jared Swope's life.

Go for it.

♪♪ [theme]

I've never liked you,

but I thought you were the right man for the job.

Now that's all changed.

You mean you like me now?

You know what this is about.

I'm withdrawing my support for your campaign.

I've called a press conference for tomorrow morning.

I'm going to announce why I'm pulling out.

I thought the public might be interested

in how you've been doing business.

The bribes you've taken, the extortion you've used,

your connection with Haydrick and his underworld playmates.

Try getting elected on that platform.

I was gonna look when you admit you made a $2 million mistake

backing the wrong horse.

Go ahead. They're copies.

Face it.

You're looking at a loaded gun.

What a coincidence.

So are you.

I want the originals.

This is insane.

What the hell is going on?

Jared Swope?

What is this?

You're under arrest for the murder of Steven Farrow.

You have the right to remain silent.

In the event you give up that right,

anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Good heavens.

What's wrong?

[laughs] Nothing.

[laughs]

Whoo! My, my, my, my!

Oh, that's my sweater.

- No, it's not. - Yes, it is.

- No, it isn't. - It's yours?

Yeah.

You went out and bought a sweater just like mine?

- Yeah. - Why? You could have borrowed mine.

- No. - Why?

Yours has got a hole in it.

- What? - It's got a hole in it.

- It does not. - Yes, it does.

- How? - Well, see, the other night,

I was helping Linda Dunlop change her guitar strings.

We had a little accident...

You ruined my sweated. That was my best sweater.

The hole can be fixed. Come on.

I'll let you have this one when I'm finished with it.

Yeah, it'll probably be full of holes.

Hi.

- Hi. - Hi.

Listen, I don't uh... I don't have much time

because the preliminary hearing is in three days,

so I need you guys to start right away.

On what?

I am hiring you.

This is the big one.

Whoa. The big one. Loitering.

No, she said it was big. Rick, it has to be shoplifting.

Are you quite finished?

Murder one.

- Wow. - Congratulations.

You earned your wings.

We're very happy for you, but, uh,

you have an entire police department working for you for free.

What do you need with us?

Oh, the police have done their job really well.

It's just that they have a lot of cases like this.

I only have one.

So I want it airtight.

Well, you know, the county can't afford us.

The county isn't hiring you, I am.

No, you're not.

You know your money's no good with is.

[chuckles] I know.

You see, I figure you guys owe me

at least a year and a half of free investigation.

- Hey! - Oh, no!

"Janet, would you please run this plate through DMV?"

"Janet, just one little teeny tiny wiretap?"

"Come on, Janet, honest now.

We're gonna have that prisoner back in six hours."

Mm-hmm. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

I hate it when she's right.

All right. We owe you one.

But the trouble is we happen to be working

on a very big case ourselves.

Oh. Big case.

No, no. Don't tell me.

Uh, repossession. Divorce.

Murder one.

Lot of that going around. Look, I'll tell you what.

We'll give you two weeks part-time investigating, how's that?

What is your case?

The Farrow murder.

Damn it!

- Sam Elkins hired us. - I knew it!

I get my big break and up jumps the devil.

You mean your murder one is our murder one?

Oh, Sam didn't tell you?

- No. - No.

That figures. That sneak probably figured

you wouldn't do it if you knew it was mine.

- Now wait a minute. It's not Sam's fault. - Oh?

We all assumed the chief prosecutor

was gonna keep this one for himself.

No. Larkin got to busy

and handed the whole thing over to me this morning.

Well, that's... that's terrific.

Listen, we really are very proud of you, and...

We're sorry, but...

Hey, look at it this way. We're the underdogs.

Absolutely.

You're the one that's playing with a full deck.

No, I'm not.

[sighs] My two jokers are missing.

It's really got me worried.

- Don't worry. - Don't worry.

- You'll do fine. - Yeah.

Okay.

Listen, honey, good luck with it, okay?

- All right. - We almost hope you win.

[laughs]

- Rick? - Mm-hmm?

You look really terrific today.

[A.J. laughs]

You put her up to that, didn't you!

[door closes]

What is the big deal? Guy buys a new sweater.

What is it, a slow news day?

Next thing you know, Ted Koppel's gonna be all over me.

Why are you so edgy? Is Sam getting to you?

I am not edgy.

I don't like courthouses.

I don't like marble floors.

I don't like portraits of dead judges.

And I'm not edgy!

It's Sam.

Hi, Sam.

Excuse me. I'll call you back, all right?

Busy day?

When I'm on a case, it's always

Saturday night in the emergency room.

Well, I wish we had some good news for you,

but we didn't find your witness.

Well... then I've got no case.

The D.A.s got good, hard evidence.

Janet's gonna move to the head of the class on this one.

Yes, I heard.

Listen, if you guys want off the train,

I'll understand.

Conflict of interest.

No, we're gonna ride to the end of the line.

Well, it could be a short trip.

Preliminary hearing's day after tomorrow.

They're gonna throw the library at poor Jared.

Steven Farrow was one of the most famous

and loved citizens in this town.

Yeah, and I'm a nobody who's losing friends fast in this town.

You didn't find Walter, did you?

Well, I... I didn't say that exactly.

You didn't have to.

When I walk into a room full of white people who aren't smiling,

I know I'm in serious trouble.

Well, I'm glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Jared.

- Who's laughing? - [chuckles]

Uh, that'll be all for now.

We might need some coffee later.

It's so hard to find decent help these days.

Uh, would you mind waiting outside, Officer?

All right. Let's get serious.

You could be facing the death penalty.

Hey, I'm sorry, Sam.

But I've been serous ever since I got in this place.

In fact, if I get any more serious, I'll go crazy.

Come on, Jared. You gotta keep swinging.

All right. We haven't found Walter... yet.

That just means we look into a different window, that's all.

How long were you Farrow's bookkeeper?

Four years.

I did my job. He treated me right.

No reason in the world for me to harm that man.

What we need is an alibi.

Now, uh...

You said you went to the track that day with Walter Newcomb.

- Yeah. - Who else saw you there?

You... you brought a program. You had a hot dog, something.

Somebody else had to see you.

- Monty. - Who's he?

It's a card game.

On the way out, Walter decided

to get into a Three-card Monty game in the parking lot.

And, uh...

Ah. The dealer's got to remember me.

Why you if Walter played?

He won.

He was $200 ahead,

and the dealer wanted him to go double or nothing.

But I pulled him away.

[laughs]

He'll remember me all right.

What exactly is Three-card Monty?

Ah, Bird, your hands haven't lost their touch.

You know, I'm in a very competitive business.

That's true. That's true.

You know, Bird and his game used to stake us

to some pretty good leave time.

It's amazing how much money

some of those young Marines had, isn't it?

It is. Hey, look, why don't try?

Okay. Here we go. Three-card Monty.

Uh, red queen. Keep your eye on the red queen.

Here we go.

All right, A.J. You watching?

You don't have it.

You gotta move your hands much faster.

It'll help if you run some patter over them.

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that.

All right. One more time.

A.J.? Red queen. Keep your eye in it.

I'm gonna make it easy on you.

Bend the edge here, all right?

You think he'd follow this?

Go to it, Bird.

All right. Remember, I take no money from

orphans, paupers, or crippled children.

A little game they play at the zoo.

The black for me. The red for you.

Keep your eye on the lady.

Remember, the lady could be on the left.

She could be on the right.

She could be in the middle.

Speaking of which,

if they find you on their turf,

this Monty mob's gonna put you in the middle.

Well, that's sort of the plan.

See, it's a floating game.

We don't know where to play it,

so we gotta get them to come to us.

The only thing we know for sure is it's a salt and pepper team.

Yeah, it's a white dealer and a black shill.

Don't let that corner fool you.

Ah! I knew it was this one.

Turn it over.

You know, you really have to pay attention.

Funny thing is that it isn't this one, either.

[bugler playing "Call to the Post"]

[Man on P.A.] And the horses have reached the starting gate.

All right, sir. Here's your red queen.

There's the two knights in shining armor.

Now it seems this queen can't make up her mind

which of these dudes she wants,

so she leads them on a merry chase around the castle.

Now, where can she be?

And again, mister. You must have ESP or something.

All right. Any other takers here?

I'm only person one.

That's fine, that's fine.

But let somebody else have a chance.

- Okay, who's next? - I'm not finished.

You beginning to get on my nerves, sonny.

Here's our fair lass and two country bumpkins.

This lass cannot make up her mind

which one of these gentlemen she wants,

she she leads them on a merry chase around the farmyard.

Now, where can she be?

How much money you got, sport?

Think you know where the queen is, huh?

Well, let's see.

Uh, 10, 15, 20... 125.

You're faded.

Congratulations, sir.

I do believe that concludes this afternoon's entertainment.

Thank you, one and all.

Hey, hey, hey. Hey, guys.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Listen, fellas, we just gave you 125 bucks.

That ought to buy a couple minutes of your time, don't you think?

So what do you want, lessons?

I mean, who do I look like, Charles Goren?

All right, look, I'll level with you. I'm not a Monty dealer.

No kidding.

You burned up a lot of our marks out here.

What's your game?

Cops.

No. Private investigators.

We're trying to help a guy out of a jam.

You know him?

This guy's looking at the gas chamber,

and you can help keep him breathing good air.

Me? What can I do?

Give him an alibi.

You were with him on the afternoon of the murder.

You can testify to that.

Not me, man.

Hey, look, think you play a pretty good game down here, right?

Let me tell you about the stakes they're playing for downtown.

That guy's life is on the line.

It's 12 to one, and the deck is stacked.

How about backing his bet?

Wouldn't you like to win one against him for a change?

Can you guys guarantee we won't get popped for common gambling?

Well, no guarantees,

but we got some friends downtown.

I can give you two to one nothing happens to you.

Make it four to one. We're in.

Deal.

When I moved my business out here from Jersey,

I thought things would be quieter, more relaxed.

[chuckles]

So you go down there and blow away your biggest backer

like you were a Bronx button man.

What's wrong with you?

I had no choice.

The man was going to spill everything to the press.

He was gonna expose you, reveal our relationship.

This is not Chicago in the '20s.

We use computers, not sawed-off shotguns.

You're getting sanctimonious in your old age, aren't you?

It's only been ten years since they took your picture out of the post office.

You think you're the Pope?

I'll ignore that because of the stress you're under.

What about those documents?

We're still looking.

If he didn't tell anybody about them, we may be safe.

If Swope is convicted,

this whole thing may blow over.

He'll be convicted.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury.

My able opponent, Miss Elkins,

has offered two witnesses who say that the defendant, Jared Swope,

was with them at the time of the murder.

The entire defense rests upon the testimony

of these two solid citizens of our community

who between them have spent 11 years in state prisons.

Even now, they operate an illegal gambling ring

that bilks unsuspecting players out of hard-earned money.

How am I doing?

Oh, you're on a roll.

And that's Janet on a bad day.

As a reliable alibi witness,

your Monty dealer is gonna hurt more than help.

I think we're back to Walter.

Mm-hmm.

Have you got any idea where he might be?

We were able to track down his wife.

She told us that he's gone up to L.A. to see an aunt,

but she wouldn't give us a name.

Red Dog.

His aunt's name is Red Dog?

No, it's a card game.

When he puts on his lucky Padre cap

and heads up to L.A. to play Red Dog,

he says he's visiting his aunt.

Where does he go?

Well, all I know is his contact is a guy named Huey

who hangs out around 115th Street.

Huey. What's he look like?

Well, a little bit like Rosey Grier.

[Rick] Mm-hmm.

In fact, he could be Rosey's big brother.

Rosey's... big brother.

Yeah.

Let's go.

Hey, you guys aren't really gonna go up there, are you?

I wanna remember what you look like.

[funk music playing on boom box]

[man mumbling]

Hi.

You're probably wondering what we're doing here.

Look, I'm gonna be real up front with you, okay?

We're both armed.

Yeah, but we're not dangerous.

No, we're bonded couriers.

See, we're licensed to carry weapons,

uh, 'cause we usually have very large sums of money on us

which we've been known to squander foolishly on games of chance.

- But we're not cops. - No, no. Mm-mmm.

We're from the San Gabriel Valley chapter of the Knights of Columbus.

Right.

Look at that face.

That look like a cop's face? Absolutely not.

That is a solid, West Covina Knights of Columbus face.

We're just looking for a little high stakes Red Dog.

Besides,

would you come into this neighborhood without a gun?

[both laugh nervously]

[knock on door]

Gentlemen?

Thank you.

[people chatting]

- Are you sure about this? - Piece of cake.

Bird taught me everything there is to know about Red Dog.

Hit the seat or hit the alley.

Right. Sure. Mm-hmm.

- What's buy in? - 200.

Fine.

Can I get a receipt for that?

Just kidding.

[sighs]

What's wrong?

This ain't the game Bird showed me.

The what?

Are you guys playing or what?

Point of order. Is this the Red Dog table?

'Cause we asked if we could be at the Red Dog table.

This is 115th Street Cutthroat Red Dog.

Well, see there? That explains it.

I was taught 73rd Street Red Dog.

Play cards, paleface.

Um...

since I am new to this particular variety of the game,

let me ask your advice, sir.

How... how would you play that hand?

Draw from the pot.

From the pot.

Does he... Does he mean the whole pot?

How much is in the pot?

830.

Let's see. We got, uh... Count that.

1, 2, 3... We got 600... Bet or fold.

And $23.

623.

For the last time, bet or fold.

- Well? - Well what?

Well, did... did... did...

did we lose... Did we win or lose?

You won.

[Rick laughs]

And don't forget to tell everybody where you got it.

Oh, right. Absolutely. We will.

As a matter of fact, we'll probably be back here ourselves.

You'll probably get most of this back, you know...

The pot wasn't covered.

No, it wasn't. Uh, I was gonna, uh...

put, uh... I'll tell you what.

Instead of that, why don't I just

sort of let you...

count out what the pot is due

and I'll just take the rest?

Excuse me.

Gentlemen, this has...

really been fun for me.

Hi. Walter?

How's your aunt?

Do I know you?

You got a bag?

No. No.

Another one of my little... Ahem... jokes.

Excuse me, please.

Jared's in trouble?

Yes, he is.

He's been charged with murder one.

And he claims he was with you

on the afternoon of the murder which was last Tuesday.

He was.

We went to the track together.

I'll tell you what.

How would you feel about

going back down to San Diego with us

and getting him out of a jam?

Okay.

- Excuse me, gentlemen. - Mm-hmm.

It's the custom of the house that the winners

should contribute a small portion of their winnings

to our local youth's Christmas tree club fund.

Aw. That's a wonderful idea.

Isn't that nice? Yeah, terrific.

What's the usual contribution?

Whatever's fair.

Uh, how would you feel about $623?

Oh, that's mighty white of you.

[laughs nervously]

That's... mighty white of me.

Did you find the file?

No, but we will.

All right.

I know the defense has a couple of witnesses,

but my people can handle that.

I hope you can do that with a little more finesse

than you used in the first situation.

Don't worry about that.

I do worry about it.

It's not that I don't trust you.

I don't trust anybody.

Your Honor, prefatory to a motion to dismiss.

We're ready to prove that at the time the murder was committed,

the defendant was, in fact, many miles from the scene of the crime.

We call Walter Newcomb.

Raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the testimony that you are about to give

in the matter before this court

shall be the truth, the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth so help you God?

I do.

State your name, address, and occupation.

Walter Newcomb, 2017 Stratton.

I'm a welder.

Please sit down.

Mr. Newcomb, please tell the court what you did

on the afternoon of Tuesday the 16th of this month.

I went to the movies.

I beg your pardon?

I was at the movies.

All afternoon.

Alone.

Somebody got to him.

Well, he can be un-gotten.

They don't talk to him.

He's got a little girl. She's six years old.

When the man says take a fall, what can you do?

You don't give up.

Oh, you don't give up!

Hey, I would never give up.

When the walk me to the gas chamber,

folks will say, "There goes Jared Swope.

He was framed, but he never gave up."

I'm sorry.

I really appreciate what you're doing.

Home, James!

You've got to find out what turned Walter around.

That'll help tell us who's building the frame.

Jared just said not to talk to him.

He didn't say not to watch him.

I like your style.

You're kinda cute yourself.

Weeee!

Whoopeee!

A.J.?

A.J.?

Oh! What? Yeah, what happened?

Oh, nothing.

Well, then what did you wake me up for?

Oh, I was just thinking.

You know, Sam's such a...

refined, educated woman.

She probably knows what to do

with all of those extra forks they give you, you know?

Anyhow...

You suppose she'd ever...

consider having a relationship with a...

um...

Are you asking me if a classy dame like that

could ever fall for a big lug like you?

- Yeah. - Absolutely not.

- I'm being serious here. - Yeah, I know.

Hey, wait a minute. What do we got?

[no audible dialogue]

[Rick] He's not taking the money.

Boy, Jared called it.

He wasn't bought off. He was scared off.

It's a county car.

[starts engine]

The guy was in county car.

So we followed him all the way back to the county building.

Unfortunately, it was rush hour,

and we lost him in the crowd.

So we went downstairs to look at the county records,

see who had checked out a car.

Funny thing.

According to their records,

that car had not been checked out all day.

Janet really wants to win this case, doesn't she?

Sam, just slow up.

Janet would not be involved in anything like this.

Besides us, who knew anything about Walter?

Hey, wait a minute.

Now all I told her was that I needed time

to bring a witness down from L.A.

I did not say who that witness was.

You didn't have to.

They must have tailed you.

Well, if you're not behind this,

I would really like to know what you know about this.

Yesterday, I had two witnesses

prepared to clear Jared Swope.

Today, neither one of them will swear that the Earth is round.

What makes you think this office is involved?

I've got a couple of very good detectives on this case.

And let me tell you something.

They don't like what they're finding.

Well, I don't like what I'm hearing.

[groans]

Sam, you're accusing the whole department of corruption.

Well, you're not exactly running a seminary here, you know.

D.A.s have strong-armed witnesses before.

Well, not this one.

[Janet and Sam arguing]

and fight this hard just to throw it out the door.

I mean, I certainly don't need to tamper with witnesses.

I mean, you, of course,

can go running back to daddy's law firm

and charge overtime for writing wills.

What exactly have you got to lose here?

Jared Swope's life.

You know, I am afraid that we do have

some kind of information leak in our office.

Really, Miss Fowler? We can't have that.

But we need to discuss this.

Let's see. I have a breakfast meeting.

Meet me here at 7 in the morning.

Yes, sir.

Thank you very much.

Give me the lock pick.

I'll give the trailer a good going over after it gets dark.

Why you? Why not us?

Oh, I make less noise than you do.

- Please. - Hey.

Yeah?

Why don't you and Sam get together

to see if you can come up with a way

of talking Walter back onto our side?

Well, Sam's probably gone for the day now, you know.

Call her at home.

Well, to tell you the truth,

I was kind of, you know, thinking about giving her a call.

I would never have guessed it.

You can use my place.

The deck is very romantic at night.

[starts engine]

There's a bottle of champagne in the fridge.

I mean, you got the whole police department working for you here,

and you call your old man to check out a case for you.

To tell you the truth, I'm flattered you would want the very best but, uh...

You went to them first.

They are working for Sam Elkins.

Well, at least I was your second choice.

Daddy...

Children.

They should only live and be happy.

So come here.

So what's the problem?

You're not getting enough help with the case?

No, I'm getting too much help.

I've got a legitimate case against Swope.

I don't need anybody out there stacking the cards.

You think they're trying to hang a frame on him?

I don't know.

This whole thing is just starting to smell fishy.

But would you... would you go out and check around and, uh...

see what the street has to say?

Maybe check the crime scene.

I don't know.

For you, honey, I'll do anything.

I love you.

[rustling]

- Freeze! - Ouch!

- Myron? - Yeah Myron.

What are you doing here?

Help me up and I might tell you.

All right.

I'm working for Janet.

Oh.

So she finally realized that Jared was being framed, huh?

No, nothing like that.

She just wants some further investigation.

Well, after all, you guys haven't been helping,

so she came to the best.

Oh. And what are you doing here?

Same thing you're doing here.

A.J., this wasn't a murder for petty cash.

It was for something more important,

and it might still be here.

You're right.

Darn right I'm right.

Well, if A.J. doesn't come up with anything,

I'll just have to cut some kind of a deal with Janet.

Maybe she'll let us plead guilty to a lesser charge.

Well, I... I wouldn't worry about that.

A.J. will come up with something.

A.J.'s the best in the business.

Present company excepted, of course.

As a matter of fact, it was, uh...

It was his idea, uh, for me to help you tonight.

So can I help you?

[sighs]

Well, you...

could help me take my mind off this case for a half an hour or so.

I think that was the general idea.

I got just the ticket.

It's a '76 Cabernet.

The, uh, Alexander Valley.

- Really? - Yeah.

I think our California wines

are beginning to give the French a run for their money,

don't you think so?

Sorry. I don't know a think about wine.

Oh, yeah? Me neither.

They guy down at Trader Moe's told me to say that,

so I said that.

Yeah. That's definitely a cork.

[clears throat]

Yeah. It's ready.

So am I.

A.J., we've been looking all night.

In 15 minutes, it'll be tomorrow.

That's it. Forget about it.

There's nothing in here.

Maybe he's got a safe deposit box or something.

Of course it would help if we knew what the hell we were looking for.

Hey. The gas isn't hooked up.

What's that?

The gas, it's not hooked up.

Hello.

Oh, my.

That's incredible.

It's Larkin.

That's the D.A.'s chief prosecutor.

Yeah, but look who's backing him for the state senate.

Haydrick. He's the biggest racketeer in five counties.

Talk about your unholy alliances.

We better get in touch with Janet.

Phone's dead.

Let's go to my place.

I'm sure the defense is gonna ask for a postponement,

and frankly, I think we ought to give it to them.

Why?

Swope's guilty as hell.

Why give them time to think up a case?

I'm not saying that he's innocent,

but how do you explain what's happening to his witnesses?

That's not our concern.

Well, why did his most important witness

change his story at the last minute,

leaving them with a street gambler to testify?

What's your theory?

I think it might be a frame.

Who'd be operating?

Someone with access to all the information on the case

and definitely someone with enough clout

to get the police department to do what he wanted them to do.

Maybe it's someone high up in this office.

Maybe... maybe...

I'm sorry you said that, Janet.

I was really beginning to like you.

[telephone rings]

Don't answer.

[ring]

You just left.

Very stupid.

Dreadfully stupid.

I had no other place to take her.

And you know how to handle situations like this.

Funny.

You never asked my advice on how to handle Steven Farrow.

Oh, you would have suggested

a more violent course of action I suppose.

Your best course of action, my dear, is to keep your mouth shut.

It might just prolong your life, though not by much.

Janet?

Thank you, Carlos.

Janet, honey?

Nothing.

Where could she be?

I mean, she's not at home. She's not...

- Oh, no. - What is it?

Look at this. Larkin's got her. They met an hour ago.

Now let's just think for a minute here.

Where would he take her?

Larkin is working for Haydrick.

He might have taken her there.

- Yeah. - That's a big place.

We can't go storm it unless we're sure.

- Who says we can't? - We can be sure.

[groans]

[telephone rings]

- Hello? - Joseph Frye, please.

Speaking. Who's thins?

This is Samantha Elkins, Joe.

I represented you about four years ago

when I was in the public defender's office.

Do you remember?

Hey, counselor, how you doing?

Uh, not too good, Joe. I think I'm being stood up.

Why are you telling me this?

Because my boyfriend is Dean Larkin,

and I know he spends a lot of time out your way.

I don't know what you're talking about.

That's okay, Joe.

I understand what you're doing,

and that's what you get paid for, but...

Well, Larkin and I had a breakfast date,

and I really don't wanna hang around this restaurant

if he's out with someone else.

Would you help me, please?

Don't hang around anymore.

Thanks, Joe.

She's there. We better call the police.

Call 'em. All right, Sam.

Let them know that we're gonna be there.

But you can't! I've been to Haydrick's!

It's a fortress. I mean, electrified gates, armed guards, the works.

We're gonna try.

I counted three armed guards out back.

Sam says there's at least a half a dozen more patrolling the grounds.

I counted five.

Uh, two o'clock. Got somebody coming in.

Don't suppose they ordered flowers?

I doubt it.

Myron, wait till we get into position

then give us 90 seconds

then create the diversion.

Gotcha. Don't do anything crazy.

They got my daughter in there, Rick.

[starts engine]

[honks horn]

Hey! Hey, fella!

Hey, go in and call Stella

and tell her her lover boy's down here.

There's nobody here named Stella.

Hey, call Stella out there

and tell her her and me's got a date.

You're drunk, fella.

Now get the hell out of here before you get yourself hurt.

Wait a minute. You don't have to drag me.

I can walk. I will walk.

Wait. Wait. Okay, look.

Wait just a minute. Mr. Haydrick, you're a reasonable man.

I'll do anything you want. You just can't take me out and kill me like that.

- That's not done anymore. - Keep thinking that, kid.

Wait. You didn't get away with killing Steven Farrow.

What makes you think you're gonna get away with killing me?

Pal, don't make me get out of this truck!

You go get Stella and tell her to get out her with me.

Hey, I ain't gonna tell you again.

Now turn that truck around and get lost.

I'm coming, Stella!

Hey, stop the truck! The gate's electrified!

Stella!

What the hell is that?

Oh, no. Myron's jumped the gun.

Something's gonna be going down over there. Let's go.

Rick! A.J.!

No! Not here! Just shut her up!

[Janet] No!

Get away from her.

I said get away from her!

Go for it.

You okay, baby?

You're all right.

A.J.

All right. You, over here.

Over here! Come on! Move!

Now you stay right there.

All right. Come on. Up.

Out.

Move it. Move it.

Hey, fellas! Wait, wait, wait!

Hey, you're not drunk.

It was just a little joke, fellas.

A little joke.

Hey, hey. Come on.

His wife's name is Stella.

And she hasn't been home in three days.

But it was a joke.

Ohhhhh!

Ha ha ha!

Couple of days ago, I thought the man had me by the neck.

Next thing you know, I'm saved by the women.

- Ah! - Yeah!

So a toast to the prosecution

and to the defense... since they both won.

I'll drink to that.

Myron, you would drink to your laundry coming back.

What are you talking about?

Jared, I understand you play the horses.

Well, I guess I better get back

and help out with the People vs. Larkin.

Oh. Why don't you stay and play hooky, Miss Prosecutor?

Hooky, A.J.?

You guys did a terrific job.

Did I forget to tell you that?

Yes, you did.

And yes, we did.

And, uh...

if you ever need anything else, you just call.

I'm calling.
