1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,992
It would seem that you knew him. You're talking like he's...

2
00:00:04,237 --> 00:00:06,432
That's right. He is.

3
00:00:13,813 --> 00:00:14,871
You're a genius.

4
00:00:14,947 --> 00:00:17,677
No, not really. You think?

5
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:20,548
You rear-end her at 30 miles an hour. Right, Mr. Cummings?

6
00:00:20,620 --> 00:00:23,783
See to it that Mr. Rockford has a very real...

7
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:35,892
This is Jim Rockford.

8
00:00:35,968 --> 00:00:37,697
At the tone leave your name and message.

9
00:00:37,770 --> 00:00:38,794
I'll get back to you.

10
00:00:39,972 --> 00:00:41,371
This is Thelma Sue Bigley.

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,568
It's about the research I called you about, the family tree.

12
00:00:44,877 --> 00:00:48,210
Did you talk to your daddy? We may be kin.

13
00:01:44,568 --> 00:01:47,093
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

14
00:01:47,171 --> 00:01:48,798
In this first heat we have a rematch...

15
00:01:48,873 --> 00:01:50,932
Between Billy Jo Hartman and Duane Bailey.

16
00:01:51,008 --> 00:01:52,669
Let's watch these drivers mix it up.

17
00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:48,798
Sure enough, folks, we're down to two cars.

18
00:02:48,866 --> 00:02:50,993
It's Battling Duane Bailey and Billy Jo Hartman.

19
00:02:54,972 --> 00:02:55,961
Duane's in trouble.

20
00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:59,168
It looks like Billy Jo is gonna give him one last shot.

21
00:03:15,092 --> 00:03:17,083
It looks like Bailey is not gonna give up.

22
00:03:30,274 --> 00:03:33,869
Folks, there's your winner, Billy Jo Hartman.

23
00:03:35,346 --> 00:03:37,371
That's what I call sportsmanship.

24
00:03:38,582 --> 00:03:42,609
And, remember, these two men will be back here for a rematch next week.

25
00:03:43,587 --> 00:03:46,112
Don't miss it. It's sure to be a great one.

26
00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:50,485
So I hear you're gonna let it all go?

27
00:03:50,561 --> 00:03:52,358
No more of these derbies for me, no more.

28
00:03:52,563 --> 00:03:55,361
Starting on Monday, I'm doing that dirt-track circuit.

29
00:03:55,432 --> 00:03:57,764
Doing what I wanna be doing finally, which is racing.

30
00:03:59,903 --> 00:04:01,165
Whatever turns you on.

31
00:04:01,238 --> 00:04:02,569
You know, I mean, listen...

32
00:04:03,207 --> 00:04:07,234
But don't forget we got a date tonight.

33
00:04:07,644 --> 00:04:11,273
How am I gonna forget? 'Cause it's the last time for that, too.

34
00:04:11,515 --> 00:04:12,982
Okay? I'm serious this time.

35
00:04:13,984 --> 00:04:17,852
Yeah. So I hear. All right. I'll see you out there then. Okay?

36
00:04:18,522 --> 00:04:19,511
Boom.

37
00:05:10,774 --> 00:05:11,763
What do you say?

38
00:05:12,176 --> 00:05:13,666
So it's my turn tonight, right?

39
00:05:13,744 --> 00:05:14,733
I gotta be the victim.

40
00:05:14,878 --> 00:05:18,075
Yeah. The license and the registration are in the glove compartment.

41
00:05:18,248 --> 00:05:19,806
There's no gas in that Ford, right?

42
00:05:21,051 --> 00:05:25,044
Look, this may be your last time, but it certainly isn't my first.

43
00:05:25,122 --> 00:05:28,057
Just roll the car down the hill, and I'll come up from behind...

44
00:05:28,125 --> 00:05:29,456
and I'll give you a little tap.

45
00:05:29,993 --> 00:05:31,688
All right. You be gentle, okay?

46
00:05:31,762 --> 00:05:33,286
Wouldn't have it any other way.

47
00:06:11,201 --> 00:06:12,190
Son of a...

48
00:06:14,771 --> 00:06:16,671
That was damn near for real.

49
00:06:51,608 --> 00:06:53,803
Mr. Rockford, I'm so glad you're here.

50
00:06:54,278 --> 00:06:56,974
Mrs. Hartman's been trying to get ahold of you for days.

51
00:06:57,214 --> 00:06:58,943
I was out of town, Maggie.

52
00:07:00,717 --> 00:07:02,844
She'll be with you in just a minute.

53
00:07:17,501 --> 00:07:21,164
Louise, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

54
00:07:24,074 --> 00:07:25,473
How was the fishing, Jim?

55
00:07:26,143 --> 00:07:29,601
Rocky caught all the fish. I caught the tennis shoes and the kelp.

56
00:07:33,250 --> 00:07:34,581
When did it happen?

57
00:07:34,918 --> 00:07:35,942
Last Saturday.

58
00:07:36,620 --> 00:07:37,644
What did the police say?

59
00:07:39,122 --> 00:07:41,352
They called it an accident, closed the case.

60
00:07:41,692 --> 00:07:42,681
You don't buy that?

61
00:07:43,493 --> 00:07:46,394
Bill and I may not have been on the best of terms...

62
00:07:46,463 --> 00:07:49,626
but I did know about his driving ability.

63
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:53,568
He was good, too good to drive off the side of a mountain.

64
00:07:54,004 --> 00:07:58,634
There was an autopsy. Any sign of alcohol or drugs?

65
00:07:58,875 --> 00:07:59,899
None.

66
00:08:00,744 --> 00:08:01,870
After I saw the report...

67
00:08:01,945 --> 00:08:05,381
I had almost convinced myself that it was just an accident.

68
00:08:05,449 --> 00:08:06,916
That's why I'm glad you're here.

69
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,382
It came today.

70
00:08:19,863 --> 00:08:21,728
$200,000?

71
00:08:21,798 --> 00:08:23,390
And I'm the beneficiary.

72
00:08:24,167 --> 00:08:27,568
How could he afford a policy this size driving demolition derbies?

73
00:08:27,638 --> 00:08:29,503
Of course, unless you paid for it.

74
00:08:29,706 --> 00:08:33,699
No, Jim, I didn't. I hadn't seen him for almost six months...

75
00:08:34,144 --> 00:08:37,238
not since he walked out of here with just the clothes on his back.

76
00:08:38,348 --> 00:08:41,408
You have an argument? Sure, the same old one.

77
00:08:41,918 --> 00:08:43,146
The construction business?

78
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:46,314
Yeah. It's what his father wanted for him.

79
00:08:48,025 --> 00:08:50,050
Take a look at it for me, will you, Jim?

80
00:08:50,594 --> 00:08:54,690
What had he been doing the last six months? Where did he get this money?

81
00:08:55,666 --> 00:08:57,600
I want to hire you to find out.

82
00:08:58,769 --> 00:09:01,897
It's $200 a day, plus expenses, isn't it?

83
00:09:02,205 --> 00:09:03,832
Usually, Louise, but we go back...

84
00:09:03,907 --> 00:09:05,636
No, there are no buts about it.

85
00:09:05,709 --> 00:09:07,040
Now what do you need to start?

86
00:09:08,078 --> 00:09:10,512
Who were his friends? Where was he living?

87
00:09:10,847 --> 00:09:13,748
All I know is that he was driving in those demolition derbies.

88
00:09:13,817 --> 00:09:16,377
When I called them for an address, they gave me mine.

89
00:09:17,854 --> 00:09:20,220
Do you have a picture? There are some in his room.

90
00:09:28,765 --> 00:09:31,495
I know there's one around here someplace.

91
00:09:43,413 --> 00:09:45,313
These magazines still come to the house?

92
00:09:45,382 --> 00:09:47,475
No, they stopped shortly after Bill left.

93
00:09:48,251 --> 00:09:51,846
The address label says the subscription is still good for another year.

94
00:10:04,167 --> 00:10:06,135
Circulation department, please.

95
00:10:07,704 --> 00:10:10,298
Circulation? Who is this I'm speaking to?

96
00:10:11,074 --> 00:10:12,302
Miss Johnson.

97
00:10:12,542 --> 00:10:16,205
Miss Johnson, this is Mr. Hoffman in Mr. Chandler's office...

98
00:10:16,713 --> 00:10:18,146
and we have a little problem.

99
00:10:18,515 --> 00:10:22,349
A close personal friend of Mr. Chandler's hasn't been getting his magazine.

100
00:10:23,820 --> 00:10:25,947
I knew you would, Miss Johnson.

101
00:10:26,022 --> 00:10:28,115
Would you please check your subscription list...

102
00:10:28,191 --> 00:10:29,180
for a William Hartman...

103
00:10:29,259 --> 00:10:31,193
and see what address we're currently using?

104
00:10:32,796 --> 00:10:34,127
This afternoon won't do.

105
00:10:34,197 --> 00:10:37,098
I'd hate to be the one that'd have to walk through this door...

106
00:10:37,167 --> 00:10:39,158
and tell Mr. Chandler that we weren't able...

107
00:10:40,837 --> 00:10:42,065
Very good, I'll hold.

108
00:10:46,476 --> 00:10:47,704
Did you find the photo?

109
00:10:47,778 --> 00:10:50,042
Who is Mr. Chandler?

110
00:10:50,113 --> 00:10:51,239
The editor.

111
00:10:53,717 --> 00:10:55,344
Yes, I'm still here, Miss Johnson.

112
00:10:58,054 --> 00:11:01,820
1330, Alta Loma Drive, Apartment 603.

113
00:11:01,892 --> 00:11:03,689
Thank you so much, Miss Johnson.

114
00:11:04,327 --> 00:11:05,817
I never heard of that address.

115
00:11:06,263 --> 00:11:08,493
Yeah. I'll check it out and get back to you.

116
00:11:08,565 --> 00:11:11,932
Don't worry, Lou, I know my way around here pretty well.

117
00:11:35,192 --> 00:11:37,626
Yes? My name is Rockford.

118
00:11:38,128 --> 00:11:40,323
How? How what?

119
00:11:40,931 --> 00:11:42,193
How do you pronounce it?

120
00:11:42,399 --> 00:11:43,730
Zim-sik.

121
00:11:44,167 --> 00:11:46,658
Zim-sik, it must be the only one in the book.

122
00:11:47,037 --> 00:11:50,131
It's not in the book. What can I do to help you, Mr. Rockman?

123
00:11:50,740 --> 00:11:54,335
Rockford. I'm looking for Billy Jo Hartman.

124
00:11:54,411 --> 00:11:55,503
Hope you find him.

125
00:11:55,779 --> 00:11:59,442
Just a minute. Maybe you recognize him.

126
00:12:02,085 --> 00:12:05,111
Never seen him before. Get lost.

127
00:12:13,029 --> 00:12:14,360
Thanks.

128
00:12:14,431 --> 00:12:15,557
You're welcome.

129
00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:24,734
That was your first mistake.

130
00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:27,136
Don't ever listen to those attorneys.

131
00:12:28,311 --> 00:12:32,247
Look, you come tonight with your wife about 5:00, and we'll take care of it.

132
00:12:32,315 --> 00:12:33,976
All right? All right.

133
00:12:34,050 --> 00:12:35,984
I said, don't ever listen to those attorneys.

134
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,417
All right, you know where it is.

135
00:12:38,488 --> 00:12:39,477
All right, bye.

136
00:12:41,992 --> 00:12:43,118
Hi, I'm Jim Rockford.

137
00:12:43,193 --> 00:12:45,593
Krubm, Julie Krubm. What can I do for you, Mr. Rockford?

138
00:12:45,862 --> 00:12:47,659
Thanks, the "b" was throwing me.

139
00:12:47,764 --> 00:12:49,823
Yeah. It does to everybody. It's silent.

140
00:12:50,100 --> 00:12:52,295
What do you need, homeowner's, auto, or life?

141
00:12:53,303 --> 00:12:54,497
I just need some information.

142
00:12:54,571 --> 00:12:56,232
I'm representing Mrs. Louise Hartman...

143
00:12:56,306 --> 00:12:57,637
in the matter of her son's death.

144
00:12:57,707 --> 00:12:59,800
I'd like to look at her son's insurance files.

145
00:12:59,943 --> 00:13:02,309
Yeah, Mrs. Hartman mentioned you might be by.

146
00:13:02,379 --> 00:13:04,074
Now, look, I got it here somewhere.

147
00:13:10,353 --> 00:13:11,615
Yeah, here it is.

148
00:13:13,590 --> 00:13:15,251
A little mayonnaise never hurt nothing.

149
00:13:16,426 --> 00:13:17,450
Yeah.

150
00:13:17,527 --> 00:13:19,995
You realize it's confidential. I can't show it to you.

151
00:13:20,063 --> 00:13:22,623
But I'll be glad to answer any questions you might have.

152
00:13:24,234 --> 00:13:26,464
Six months prior to his accident...

153
00:13:27,137 --> 00:13:29,128
paid the first year's premium in advance.

154
00:13:29,239 --> 00:13:31,867
$2,708 in cash, to be exact.

155
00:13:32,175 --> 00:13:34,700
And that buys a $100,000 insurance policy...

156
00:13:34,844 --> 00:13:37,472
for someone with a hazardous occupation like Hartman's?

157
00:13:37,547 --> 00:13:40,516
Including a double indemnity clause in case of accidental death.

158
00:13:41,384 --> 00:13:44,080
Did he name a contingent beneficiary, by any chance?

159
00:13:44,387 --> 00:13:47,254
Why, yes, he did. Not at the same time he initiated the policy.

160
00:13:47,624 --> 00:13:50,092
Just a couple months ago.

161
00:13:51,795 --> 00:13:55,492
Here it is. Miss Jeannie Szymczyk.

162
00:13:55,599 --> 00:13:58,796
Of 1330, Alta Loma Drive? Yeah. Do you know her?

163
00:13:59,336 --> 00:14:00,826
Yeah, I bumped into her.

164
00:14:04,407 --> 00:14:06,466
Isn't it pronounced Zim-sik?

165
00:14:06,643 --> 00:14:08,941
No. It's definitely pronounced Sim-zik.

166
00:14:09,012 --> 00:14:10,445
How do you know with a name like that?

167
00:14:10,513 --> 00:14:12,811
Where I come from, that's not a strange name at all.

168
00:14:12,882 --> 00:14:16,682
You know, our family's Polish, and our original name was Krubmowkowski.

169
00:14:16,753 --> 00:14:19,221
So Szymczyk, that's like Smith in this country.

170
00:14:19,289 --> 00:14:20,347
No mistake there.

171
00:14:20,523 --> 00:14:23,287
But then again, you know Polish names are hard to pronounce.

172
00:14:24,194 --> 00:14:25,456
Not when they're yours.

173
00:14:42,379 --> 00:14:44,847
Hello, again. Remember me?

174
00:14:44,914 --> 00:14:46,176
You're Mr. Rockford.

175
00:14:46,483 --> 00:14:48,212
You do have a memory.

176
00:14:48,284 --> 00:14:49,342
I don't understand.

177
00:14:49,653 --> 00:14:51,382
No, I'm the one that doesn't understand.

178
00:14:51,454 --> 00:14:53,922
Now just how is it that a man you don't know...

179
00:14:53,990 --> 00:14:55,355
has his mail sent here?

180
00:14:55,759 --> 00:14:58,421
Look, I told you before, I don't know anything about that.

181
00:14:58,495 --> 00:15:01,123
And how is it the same man named you the beneficiary...

182
00:15:01,197 --> 00:15:03,688
in a $200,000 life insurance policy?

183
00:15:04,501 --> 00:15:05,525
Billy Jo?

184
00:15:06,936 --> 00:15:07,925
He did that?

185
00:15:08,104 --> 00:15:10,163
It's only a contingent beneficiary.

186
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,367
His mother's already been awarded the money...

187
00:15:13,176 --> 00:15:14,803
but it would seem that you knew him.

188
00:15:16,646 --> 00:15:18,580
You're talking like he's...

189
00:15:18,648 --> 00:15:21,048
That's right. He is.

190
00:15:22,052 --> 00:15:23,883
No.

191
00:15:23,953 --> 00:15:25,147
Here. Let me help you.

192
00:15:31,428 --> 00:15:32,452
Now sit down.

193
00:15:35,632 --> 00:15:37,862
Dead. How?

194
00:15:39,102 --> 00:15:42,162
It was an accident. You didn't know?

195
00:15:44,074 --> 00:15:46,736
He just left little over a week ago.

196
00:15:46,810 --> 00:15:47,936
To do what?

197
00:15:49,145 --> 00:15:52,273
He was going up to San Francisco to bid on some racing engines...

198
00:15:52,348 --> 00:15:53,406
that were up for auction.

199
00:15:54,784 --> 00:15:57,776
I wasn't even expecting him back until the weekend...

200
00:16:00,056 --> 00:16:02,991
and now he won't be coming back at all.

201
00:16:04,661 --> 00:16:05,719
No, he won't.

202
00:16:08,164 --> 00:16:10,098
Could you tell me something about Billy Jo?

203
00:16:11,601 --> 00:16:13,193
I haven't known him for very long.

204
00:16:15,338 --> 00:16:17,238
We met about four months ago.

205
00:16:18,007 --> 00:16:20,168
Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?

206
00:16:20,844 --> 00:16:22,072
Family problems.

207
00:16:22,679 --> 00:16:25,512
He was always so concerned his mother was gonna interfere.

208
00:16:26,316 --> 00:16:28,648
He made me promise not to talk to anyone about him.

209
00:16:29,619 --> 00:16:31,450
And then there was this social pressure.

210
00:16:32,789 --> 00:16:34,814
Billy Jo came from a really good family...

211
00:16:35,859 --> 00:16:37,952
and, you know, with us living together and all...

212
00:16:38,027 --> 00:16:39,085
Yeah, I understand.

213
00:16:40,897 --> 00:16:45,357
Billy Jo, was he involved in anything besides auto racing?

214
00:16:46,569 --> 00:16:47,831
Nothing that I ever knew.

215
00:16:49,539 --> 00:16:53,737
If you think it'll help, you can look through some of his things.

216
00:16:55,445 --> 00:16:56,707
It might help.

217
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,304
All right.

218
00:17:04,854 --> 00:17:06,651
In there and there.

219
00:17:13,830 --> 00:17:15,263
How did you meet Billy Jo?

220
00:17:16,266 --> 00:17:17,665
At a demolition derby.

221
00:17:17,867 --> 00:17:20,995
I asked him for his autograph.

222
00:17:21,604 --> 00:17:23,162
He was very popular, you know.

223
00:17:24,174 --> 00:17:28,338
One thing led to another and he asked me to move in with him.

224
00:17:30,446 --> 00:17:31,811
If this is Billy Jo's apartment...

225
00:17:31,881 --> 00:17:33,746
how come it says Szymczyk on the door?

226
00:17:35,018 --> 00:17:37,145
That is the correct pronunciation, isn't it?

227
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,278
It was his apartment all right.

228
00:17:39,823 --> 00:17:40,881
He wanted it in my name...

229
00:17:40,957 --> 00:17:43,585
'cause he was afraid his mother would find him otherwise.

230
00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:46,390
And it is Zim-sik. It's Polish.

231
00:17:48,698 --> 00:17:50,097
There's nothing in here.

232
00:18:00,376 --> 00:18:01,570
Mr. Rockford...

233
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:04,546
you don't think Billy Jo was...

234
00:18:05,648 --> 00:18:07,513
I mean, it was an accident, wasn't it?

235
00:18:08,418 --> 00:18:10,613
Right now I can't prove any differently.

236
00:18:10,687 --> 00:18:13,247
But if I do, I'll let you know right away.

237
00:18:14,757 --> 00:18:15,746
Thanks.

238
00:18:25,301 --> 00:18:28,566
A private cop was here, a guy by the name of Rockford.

239
00:18:28,638 --> 00:18:29,696
That's what's wrong.

240
00:18:32,442 --> 00:18:34,239
He knew all about me and Billy Jo.

241
00:18:34,377 --> 00:18:37,107
The little creep put me in his life-insurance policy.

242
00:18:37,714 --> 00:18:40,649
I'm a contingent beneficiary, whatever that means.

243
00:18:41,117 --> 00:18:42,550
No, you listen to me.

244
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:46,311
The deal was for 50 a night for as long as it took.

245
00:18:46,890 --> 00:18:48,653
It took over three months.

246
00:18:49,626 --> 00:18:51,253
Now, look, I want out.

247
00:18:51,527 --> 00:18:53,586
I am sick and tired of this name.

248
00:18:53,663 --> 00:18:56,359
I can't even spell it. Nobody can pronounce it...

249
00:18:56,432 --> 00:18:58,263
and I'm fed up with Polish jokes.

250
00:18:58,401 --> 00:19:00,096
Now when do I get the new ID?

251
00:19:02,805 --> 00:19:03,794
Okay.

252
00:19:05,174 --> 00:19:06,664
But it better be soon.

253
00:19:50,818 --> 00:19:55,084
Hello. Yes, I'm holding a check for a William J. Hartman.

254
00:19:55,222 --> 00:19:58,282
It's for $1,000, and I was just wondering if it's any good.

255
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,293
I'll have to have the account number, sir.

256
00:20:00,361 --> 00:20:02,158
Yes, just a moment.

257
00:20:03,798 --> 00:20:08,235
That's 541-04290.

258
00:20:08,369 --> 00:20:09,427
I'll be right with you.

259
00:20:16,344 --> 00:20:17,868
Fill it up, ethyl.

260
00:20:17,945 --> 00:20:19,139
My name ain't Ethel.

261
00:20:21,248 --> 00:20:24,513
A gas-station joke. Gee, it's priceless.

262
00:20:29,490 --> 00:20:30,582
The check is good.

263
00:20:31,158 --> 00:20:34,252
Mr. Hartman is one of our better customers, a member of the EDC.

264
00:20:34,328 --> 00:20:35,317
Come again?

265
00:20:35,396 --> 00:20:38,695
EDC, that's our Executive Depositor's Club.

266
00:20:39,133 --> 00:20:41,192
Would you tell me about it? Surely.

267
00:20:41,802 --> 00:20:44,828
For a $1,000 deposit you get a free checking account...

268
00:20:44,939 --> 00:20:48,898
free travelers checks, free notary public, beautiful gift...

269
00:20:49,176 --> 00:20:51,201
not to mention a free safety deposit box.

270
00:20:52,113 --> 00:20:54,274
What's the gift? A toaster.

271
00:20:54,782 --> 00:20:56,443
I already have one,

272
00:20:56,517 --> 00:20:59,748
but was that a safety deposit box you said?

273
00:20:59,854 --> 00:21:04,052
Yes. Why don't you ask Mr. Hartman about our many services?

274
00:21:04,325 --> 00:21:06,384
That might be a little difficult to arrange...

275
00:21:06,460 --> 00:21:07,722
but thanks, anyway.

276
00:21:36,257 --> 00:21:40,091
Don't give me that bull, Avelino. It's got to improve.

277
00:21:40,161 --> 00:21:42,322
I don't want to hear any more about your tribe...

278
00:21:42,396 --> 00:21:45,058
and what great high-iron workers you are.

279
00:21:45,166 --> 00:21:48,795
I know you work hard, but I also know you party hard, too.

280
00:21:48,869 --> 00:21:50,769
Monday I had half a crew up the tower.

281
00:21:50,838 --> 00:21:52,772
Not a full crew, half a crew...

282
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,774
and that half was moving pretty slowly.

283
00:21:54,875 --> 00:21:55,967
Are you getting the drift?

284
00:22:07,555 --> 00:22:08,647
Hi, Jim.

285
00:22:10,224 --> 00:22:13,250
If you weren't the best in the business, you wouldn't be here...

286
00:22:13,327 --> 00:22:14,885
but get your guys straightened out.

287
00:22:16,063 --> 00:22:17,155
What was that all about?

288
00:22:17,231 --> 00:22:21,133
The Senecas, the greatest high iron workers, absolutely fearless.

289
00:22:21,335 --> 00:22:23,098
I pay them an arm and a leg.

290
00:22:23,337 --> 00:22:25,965
I just found out that Bill had a safety deposit box.

291
00:22:27,208 --> 00:22:28,573
Let's go see what's in it.

292
00:22:48,362 --> 00:22:49,829
As I mentioned, Mrs. Hartman...

293
00:22:49,897 --> 00:22:52,491
you can take any of your son's personal effects with you.

294
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,433
But I will have to impound any cash or negotiable instruments.

295
00:23:18,392 --> 00:23:22,658
Billy Jo had four driver's licenses under four entirely different names?

296
00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:25,028
What do you think?

297
00:23:25,099 --> 00:23:26,657
I don't know what to think yet.

298
00:23:27,134 --> 00:23:29,659
Why would anybody need... I'll find out.

299
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:35,700
There's $20,000 here, Mrs. Hartman.

300
00:23:36,076 --> 00:23:38,271
These are personal. May we take them with us?

301
00:23:38,412 --> 00:23:41,643
I'm only interested in negotiable securities, Mr. Rockford...

302
00:23:41,782 --> 00:23:45,411
but I will have to make a notation of anything that's removed from the box.

303
00:23:47,755 --> 00:23:49,017
Why would anybody need four...

304
00:23:49,089 --> 00:23:51,250
Maybe he had a lot of moving violations.

305
00:23:59,466 --> 00:24:00,865
Billy Jo Hartman?

306
00:24:01,502 --> 00:24:04,869
You got the wrong department, Jim. Traffic's across the hall.

307
00:24:05,606 --> 00:24:08,234
Look, it was an accidental death. Case closed.

308
00:24:08,309 --> 00:24:10,641
Your open-mindedness underwhelms me.

309
00:24:10,711 --> 00:24:13,179
I get paid to be objective, not open-minded.

310
00:24:13,914 --> 00:24:16,405
I want you to try these names for objectivity.

311
00:24:18,219 --> 00:24:20,346
I don't know any of them. What are you building?

312
00:24:20,421 --> 00:24:23,254
These numbers next to the names. Those are driver's licenses.

313
00:24:23,357 --> 00:24:26,417
Would you mind checking the DMV and getting the driving records?

314
00:24:26,493 --> 00:24:28,620
For what? Are these tied to Hartman's death?

315
00:24:28,929 --> 00:24:31,921
Now what are you asking, Tom? It was an accident, right?

316
00:24:32,099 --> 00:24:34,966
Just do an old friend a favor, and check them out for me.

317
00:24:35,703 --> 00:24:37,227
You haven't got an old friend.

318
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,429
Tom.

319
00:24:41,108 --> 00:24:42,700
Would you do yourself a favor, too...

320
00:24:42,943 --> 00:24:46,401
and special order photocopies of those licenses?

321
00:24:46,647 --> 00:24:48,080
You might find a surprise.

322
00:24:48,215 --> 00:24:49,273
So long, friend.

323
00:25:02,296 --> 00:25:03,285
May I help you?

324
00:25:03,364 --> 00:25:06,333
Yes. I'm Jim Rockford with Rockford-Markham Life and Casualty.

325
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,300
I'd like to see Mr. Springfield, please.

326
00:25:08,369 --> 00:25:09,927
I'm sorry. He's in a meeting.

327
00:25:10,938 --> 00:25:12,769
I'll wait.

328
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:14,398
He may be some time.

329
00:25:14,775 --> 00:25:16,936
I got the whole afternoon free. No problem.

330
00:25:28,756 --> 00:25:32,283
The general agent from Rockford-Markham Life and Casualty...

331
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,917
is here to see you, Mr. Springfield.

332
00:25:34,194 --> 00:25:37,254
I told him you were in a meeting. He says he'll wait.

333
00:25:37,331 --> 00:25:38,662
I'll be right out.

334
00:25:55,949 --> 00:25:59,510
Rockford-Markham Life and Casualty? I don't recall the company.

335
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,517
That's because it doesn't exist.

336
00:26:01,755 --> 00:26:03,450
I'm with Rockford Investigations.

337
00:26:03,524 --> 00:26:05,924
I do some insurance work from time to time.

338
00:26:06,193 --> 00:26:08,286
I would like to ask you some questions, though.

339
00:26:11,999 --> 00:26:13,523
What happened to it?

340
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,329
It got caught in a door.

341
00:26:15,903 --> 00:26:18,269
Do you? I'm sorry, I don't. Should I?

342
00:26:19,206 --> 00:26:20,696
His name was Hartman.

343
00:26:20,774 --> 00:26:23,242
You may have known him under a different name.

344
00:26:24,211 --> 00:26:25,235
Which is?

345
00:26:25,312 --> 00:26:27,940
Which are. William Carruthers?

346
00:26:29,616 --> 00:26:34,485
Larry Shulton? Benton Willis? Carl Gorman?

347
00:26:35,255 --> 00:26:38,952
No, I'm sorry. I don't recognize any of the names, either.

348
00:26:39,093 --> 00:26:42,290
Wait a minute, Shulton. I knew a Shulton in the army.

349
00:26:43,464 --> 00:26:48,367
But no, that was a Fulton. Is that all I can do for you?

350
00:26:48,869 --> 00:26:52,669
This is your envelope, isn't it?

351
00:26:53,374 --> 00:26:56,138
Yes, you see it has my name in the upper left-hand corner.

352
00:26:56,510 --> 00:26:58,068
It was in Hartman's possession.

353
00:26:58,145 --> 00:27:00,306
Now why would he have it, if you don't know him?

354
00:27:00,581 --> 00:27:04,073
Most of my business is created by bulk-mail advertising...

355
00:27:04,151 --> 00:27:06,278
and the envelopes are sent out by the thousands.

356
00:27:06,353 --> 00:27:08,344
Mr. Hartman could have gotten it that way.

357
00:27:09,256 --> 00:27:12,316
I'm sorry, I wish I could have been of more help.

358
00:27:12,459 --> 00:27:14,927
Yes. Thank you, Mr. Springfield.

359
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,794
All right. You got it all straight.

360
00:27:24,138 --> 00:27:26,163
Okay, now, it's First and Olive.

361
00:27:27,174 --> 00:27:29,972
You're in the tan sedan. Susan is in the coupe.

362
00:27:30,043 --> 00:27:32,671
You rear-end her at 30 miles an hour. Right, Mr. Cummings?

363
00:27:32,746 --> 00:27:33,804
I got it.

364
00:27:34,348 --> 00:27:36,077
No, you don't got it.

365
00:27:37,117 --> 00:27:39,051
It's First and Olive all right...

366
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,781
but this time out you're Mr. Trimmer.

367
00:27:42,589 --> 00:27:44,784
Mr. Trimmer. Remember that.

368
00:27:46,393 --> 00:27:49,487
Now I'll be there with him as a witness, and I'll make a statement.

369
00:27:50,564 --> 00:27:51,553
It's all done.

370
00:27:51,632 --> 00:27:54,362
They have all the necessary identities? All set to go.

371
00:27:54,435 --> 00:27:56,403
Okay, folks, have a nice day.

372
00:27:57,971 --> 00:28:00,030
Duane, just a minute.

373
00:28:05,646 --> 00:28:07,443
I want you to handle something else.

374
00:28:08,515 --> 00:28:12,918
A detective named Rockford has been asking around about Hartman...

375
00:28:13,487 --> 00:28:15,284
and he knows about the false identities.

376
00:28:15,522 --> 00:28:17,581
How could he find them, when we couldn't?

377
00:28:18,192 --> 00:28:21,628
I don't know. What did you want me to do, ask him?

378
00:28:23,497 --> 00:28:25,988
But if he keeps poking around, he might learn even more.

379
00:28:28,335 --> 00:28:29,893
What are you trying to tell me?

380
00:28:30,003 --> 00:28:31,630
See to it that Mr. Rockford...

381
00:28:33,006 --> 00:28:36,169
has a very real accident.

382
00:30:28,822 --> 00:30:29,846
Hello?

383
00:30:29,923 --> 00:30:32,414
It's done. It was beautiful.

384
00:30:33,293 --> 00:30:34,385
Good.

385
00:31:00,019 --> 00:31:02,886
Will you lie down there? You've got a rather large hematoma.

386
00:31:03,356 --> 00:31:06,257
I have an even larger lapse of memory. How did I get here?

387
00:31:06,892 --> 00:31:08,120
County expense.

388
00:31:09,195 --> 00:31:11,686
A car spotted you. The paramedics took it from there.

389
00:31:11,831 --> 00:31:16,234
You're a very lucky man. That accident should have finished you.

390
00:31:26,112 --> 00:31:28,239
Aren't you keeping something from me, Doc?

391
00:31:29,849 --> 00:31:31,783
No, this is for somebody else.

392
00:31:31,851 --> 00:31:35,309
Will you get back on that gurney and lie down?

393
00:31:36,122 --> 00:31:40,456
Doctor, what do you do with a death certificate?

394
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:41,954
Send it to the county.

395
00:31:42,595 --> 00:31:44,790
Birth certificates? They go to the county, too.

396
00:31:45,398 --> 00:31:48,333
Everything goes to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

397
00:31:50,903 --> 00:31:52,598
Where do you think you're going?

398
00:31:52,672 --> 00:31:54,333
You've got to stay here until tomorrow.

399
00:31:54,407 --> 00:31:56,671
I appreciate everything you've done for me, Doctor.

400
00:31:56,742 --> 00:31:59,006
Point me to my clothes. I told you. You can't do that.

401
00:31:59,078 --> 00:32:01,205
You've got a very nasty... Hematoma.

402
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,874
Yeah, I know. Where are my clothes?

403
00:32:06,786 --> 00:32:08,253
I'll have them brought to you.

404
00:32:10,523 --> 00:32:12,388
Dr. Orange Johnson.

405
00:32:12,458 --> 00:32:14,824
Please pick up the sixth-floor phone.

406
00:32:16,696 --> 00:32:18,960
Thank heaven you're all right.

407
00:32:19,031 --> 00:32:20,498
Louise, what are you doing here?

408
00:32:20,566 --> 00:32:23,228
I heard you were hurt. It was on the radio, so I came down.

409
00:32:23,302 --> 00:32:25,099
I was afraid you might be seriously injured.

410
00:32:25,171 --> 00:32:28,572
I was, but you sit around on these cold tables long enough...

411
00:32:28,674 --> 00:32:30,005
you tend to bounce back fast.

412
00:32:30,076 --> 00:32:32,408
Glad you're here. Can you give me a lift? Sure.

413
00:32:32,912 --> 00:32:35,244
Go on, get out of here so I can get dressed.

414
00:32:38,050 --> 00:32:41,076
Dr. Ray. Paging Dr. Brian Ray.

415
00:32:55,334 --> 00:32:57,063
Are you sure you're gonna be all right?

416
00:32:57,136 --> 00:32:58,433
Yeah. I'm gonna be fine.

417
00:32:58,504 --> 00:33:00,597
You go home and stay there. I'll be in touch.

418
00:33:09,548 --> 00:33:11,982
Freddie, did you get my car?

419
00:33:12,651 --> 00:33:13,709
Very funny.

420
00:33:14,220 --> 00:33:16,085
That ain't a car. That's a bunch of bolts...

421
00:33:16,155 --> 00:33:17,747
and metal rolling in formation.

422
00:33:18,324 --> 00:33:19,814
You don't look much better.

423
00:33:19,892 --> 00:33:21,052
Yeah.

424
00:33:23,129 --> 00:33:24,721
What have you got I can test drive.

425
00:33:26,766 --> 00:33:28,825
Anything for you, Jim, you know.

426
00:33:29,235 --> 00:33:30,532
I just don't have any.

427
00:33:31,504 --> 00:33:32,766
Don't you even have a loaner?

428
00:33:37,309 --> 00:33:39,675
Just that one. That'll be fine.

429
00:33:40,579 --> 00:33:42,240
Yeah, what about my customers?

430
00:33:42,314 --> 00:33:45,306
If you don't get my car fixed, I'll probably be a customer.

431
00:33:45,384 --> 00:33:46,408
Where are the keys?

432
00:33:48,521 --> 00:33:53,515
Yes. Here. But take it easy with it, please.

433
00:33:54,226 --> 00:33:56,524
Freddie, you know what kind of driver I am.

434
00:33:57,897 --> 00:34:01,526
Yeah, my body shop has a good example of it.

435
00:34:20,219 --> 00:34:21,481
What happened to you?

436
00:34:21,554 --> 00:34:23,078
I fell asleep at the wheel.

437
00:34:23,556 --> 00:34:25,888
Did you get those DMV records? Yeah.

438
00:34:26,292 --> 00:34:29,693
Nothing jumps out, though. No want or warrants on any of them.

439
00:34:30,462 --> 00:34:33,363
The physical descriptions and ages are similar. But so what?

440
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,634
I take it the photocopies haven't come in yet.

441
00:34:36,702 --> 00:34:37,691
That's right.

442
00:34:37,803 --> 00:34:39,771
The only thing these people have in common...

443
00:34:39,839 --> 00:34:41,864
is that they have no previous driving records.

444
00:34:43,642 --> 00:34:46,110
What's these right here? What?

445
00:34:46,712 --> 00:34:48,145
Those letters, BC?

446
00:34:49,715 --> 00:34:53,242
That means that they used their birth certificates for ID.

447
00:34:53,619 --> 00:34:54,677
All of them?

448
00:34:55,888 --> 00:34:59,483
Yeah. Why? Does that mean anything to you?

449
00:34:59,558 --> 00:35:01,253
No, just thinking out loud.

450
00:35:02,394 --> 00:35:05,158
I want you to do me another favor, old friend.

451
00:35:05,264 --> 00:35:07,391
I want you to check out a Matthew Springfield...

452
00:35:07,466 --> 00:35:09,229
or Springfield Insurance.

453
00:35:09,301 --> 00:35:11,565
Yeah, you look like you could use some.

454
00:35:11,637 --> 00:35:12,899
What about this Springfield guy?

455
00:35:13,372 --> 00:35:16,808
Nothing, just a hunch. Can't prove anything.

456
00:35:17,509 --> 00:35:19,409
I had a conversation with the man though...

457
00:35:19,478 --> 00:35:21,810
and he left me with a very light-headed sensation.

458
00:35:36,629 --> 00:35:37,687
Good morning.

459
00:35:45,871 --> 00:35:48,135
I'd like to see the death books...

460
00:35:48,207 --> 00:35:51,608
for the years 1945 through 1947, please.

461
00:35:52,511 --> 00:35:53,535
This way.

462
00:35:58,384 --> 00:36:00,477
There they are. They're alphabetized.

463
00:37:09,254 --> 00:37:10,278
Bingo.

464
00:38:01,573 --> 00:38:03,803
Miss, could you tell me something, please?

465
00:38:04,410 --> 00:38:06,901
If it's short. My coffee break's in two minutes.

466
00:38:06,979 --> 00:38:09,573
Yeah, I wouldn't want you to miss your coffee break.

467
00:38:09,748 --> 00:38:11,079
But could you tell me...

468
00:38:11,150 --> 00:38:15,484
are the dates of death and the birth certificates cross-referenced?

469
00:38:15,554 --> 00:38:18,318
Are you kidding? That would be a monumental task.

470
00:38:18,757 --> 00:38:20,816
So the date of death doesn't appear...

471
00:38:20,893 --> 00:38:22,986
anywhere in the birth certificate index.

472
00:38:23,128 --> 00:38:24,152
You got it.

473
00:38:24,663 --> 00:38:27,131
Doesn't that leave a rather large hole in the system?

474
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,293
There's a lot of holes in this system. So what?

475
00:38:30,436 --> 00:38:31,494
So what?

476
00:38:32,004 --> 00:38:34,438
Do you realize that you could adopt a new identity...

477
00:38:34,506 --> 00:38:36,440
by ordering a birth certificate of somebody...

478
00:38:36,508 --> 00:38:37,634
that's already dead?

479
00:38:38,043 --> 00:38:40,034
And you'd mail it out without question...

480
00:38:40,112 --> 00:38:41,977
because the date of death doesn't appear...

481
00:38:42,047 --> 00:38:43,480
anywhere in the birth records.

482
00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:45,642
You're a genius.

483
00:38:46,251 --> 00:38:48,981
No, not really. You think?

484
00:39:05,871 --> 00:39:07,031
Thank you.

485
00:39:07,106 --> 00:39:08,801
A real gentleman.

486
00:39:08,874 --> 00:39:11,399
I don't play favorites. I'm liberated.

487
00:39:20,953 --> 00:39:22,420
Yeah. Mr. Krubm, please.

488
00:39:29,061 --> 00:39:31,621
Hello. Yeah, Julie, it's Jim Rockford.

489
00:39:31,697 --> 00:39:32,686
I need some help.

490
00:39:32,931 --> 00:39:34,660
Sure, what do you need?

491
00:39:34,733 --> 00:39:36,360
Are you still tied into claim check?

492
00:39:36,602 --> 00:39:38,467
Isn't every upstanding insurance company?

493
00:39:39,037 --> 00:39:41,096
I want you to run some names through for me.

494
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,698
Sure.

495
00:39:43,642 --> 00:39:46,668
Lawrence Shulton. S-H-U-L-T-O-N:

496
00:39:46,879 --> 00:39:51,441
William Carruthers, with two "R's." Benton Willis, with two "L's."

497
00:39:51,683 --> 00:39:52,672
And a Carl Gorman.

498
00:39:53,152 --> 00:39:56,485
Would you see if any of them have ever filed an insurance claim?

499
00:39:56,889 --> 00:40:00,154
Okay. Now, look, I'm gonna put you on hold, but it's all on computer...

500
00:40:00,225 --> 00:40:02,386
so I'll be back to you right away. Okay.

501
00:40:08,033 --> 00:40:10,126
How long you gonna be, mac? I'm on hold.

502
00:40:10,569 --> 00:40:13,629
Look, I gotta place a bet right away. Post time's in 10 minutes.

503
00:40:14,072 --> 00:40:15,733
Yeah? What horse? What's the race?

504
00:40:15,807 --> 00:40:17,604
Gyro. Hurry up, will you?

505
00:40:17,676 --> 00:40:19,701
Gyro, are you kidding? What's the line?

506
00:40:20,012 --> 00:40:21,980
Six-to-one. And she's moving down in class.

507
00:40:22,047 --> 00:40:24,015
Will you hurry up?

508
00:40:24,082 --> 00:40:26,448
Six-to-one. That's not a bad bet.

509
00:40:26,952 --> 00:40:27,941
Rockford?

510
00:40:30,289 --> 00:40:32,189
Julie, you got anything for me?

511
00:40:32,257 --> 00:40:33,281
I'll say.

512
00:40:33,358 --> 00:40:35,292
All four of these guys filed and collected...

513
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,850
on accident claims in the past year.

514
00:40:36,929 --> 00:40:38,863
Smallest award was $65,000.

515
00:40:39,831 --> 00:40:42,231
What agencies handled the policies?

516
00:40:42,301 --> 00:40:43,563
No agencies. Just one.

517
00:40:43,635 --> 00:40:46,069
Springfield-York Insurance wrote them all.

518
00:40:46,538 --> 00:40:49,234
Yeah? Thanks a lot, Julie. Later.

519
00:41:03,689 --> 00:41:07,955
Jack, is Gyro still going off at six-to-one?

520
00:41:09,261 --> 00:41:10,319
Yeah.

521
00:41:11,630 --> 00:41:13,097
Is there still time to get a bet?

522
00:41:13,932 --> 00:41:17,299
Good. Put me down for 20 on the nose.

523
00:41:17,903 --> 00:41:18,927
Right, Jack. Later.

524
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,533
Hold on, I'll be right with you. Just a minute.

525
00:41:35,020 --> 00:41:36,578
Springfield-York Insurance.

526
00:41:36,655 --> 00:41:38,919
Mr. Springfield, please. This is Jim Rockford.

527
00:41:38,991 --> 00:41:40,925
He's not here today, Mr. Rockford.

528
00:41:40,993 --> 00:41:42,483
I don't expect him until tomorrow.

529
00:41:42,761 --> 00:41:45,559
It's kind of important. Do you know where I might reach him?

530
00:41:45,631 --> 00:41:46,928
I'm not supposed to...

531
00:41:48,667 --> 00:41:52,125
If it's important, he can be reached at the race track.

532
00:41:52,638 --> 00:41:55,232
But don't tell him I told you so.

533
00:41:55,307 --> 00:41:57,502
It'll just be our little secret. Thanks, honey.

534
00:41:59,778 --> 00:42:03,111
Nice going, Vivian. Now get Bailey in here for me.

535
00:42:03,782 --> 00:42:05,010
Okay, it's all yours.

536
00:42:05,217 --> 00:42:08,152
It's too late now. It's past post time.

537
00:42:08,220 --> 00:42:10,450
I do hope you got yours down.

538
00:42:10,622 --> 00:42:12,852
Right, thanks for the tip.

539
00:42:15,994 --> 00:42:17,962
They should've put the bandage on his mouth.

540
00:42:28,807 --> 00:42:31,332
What's up?

541
00:42:31,410 --> 00:42:33,378
Jim Rockford's what's up.

542
00:42:34,846 --> 00:42:37,508
Next time you think you fried a guy, check the details.

543
00:42:39,384 --> 00:42:42,285
Wait a minute. You mean to tell me I didn't get him?

544
00:42:42,721 --> 00:42:46,157
No, not that time, but we will.

545
00:45:40,199 --> 00:45:41,894
Police officers. Don't move!

546
00:45:56,082 --> 00:45:58,642
Call the ambulance and the fire department. And book him!

547
00:45:59,318 --> 00:46:00,410
What took you so long?

548
00:46:00,486 --> 00:46:03,080
I got other cases, you know. You could've called sooner.

549
00:46:03,189 --> 00:46:05,521
I would have, but I had to stop and get some change.

550
00:46:05,591 --> 00:46:06,580
Is this all of it?

551
00:46:06,692 --> 00:46:09,183
Not quite. You gotta pick up a Jeannie Szymczyk.

552
00:46:09,262 --> 00:46:11,526
1330, Alta Loma Drive. And give me a lift, will you?

553
00:46:11,597 --> 00:46:12,723
I'll fill you in on the way.

554
00:46:12,798 --> 00:46:14,265
I'm not a taxi, Jim.

555
00:46:14,333 --> 00:46:15,800
Then you don't get filled in.

556
00:46:16,402 --> 00:46:18,029
You always win, don't you?

557
00:46:21,107 --> 00:46:22,404
Not always.

558
00:46:28,681 --> 00:46:30,239
Got a Photostat of the licenses...

559
00:46:30,316 --> 00:46:31,806
and they all had Hartman's picture.

560
00:46:31,884 --> 00:46:33,112
Now do you wanna fill me in?

561
00:46:33,286 --> 00:46:36,915
Well, that's easy. Springfield was running an insurance scam.

562
00:46:37,957 --> 00:46:39,754
Tom, do you know what the best kind...

563
00:46:39,825 --> 00:46:41,850
of false identification you can have is?

564
00:46:42,628 --> 00:46:45,062
It's a legal document issued by the government.

565
00:46:45,131 --> 00:46:48,931
It's not one you have to steal, or forge, or doctor up yourself.

566
00:46:49,902 --> 00:46:50,891
It's a birth certificate.

567
00:46:51,237 --> 00:46:52,829
But you said false identity.

568
00:46:52,905 --> 00:46:54,497
How can you get a birth certificate...

569
00:46:54,574 --> 00:46:56,064
for someone other than yourself?

570
00:46:56,142 --> 00:46:58,076
You send in $2 and a 10 cent stamp...

571
00:46:58,144 --> 00:46:59,668
to the Bureau of Vital Statistics.

572
00:46:59,745 --> 00:47:01,975
Of course, you have to do a little research first.

573
00:47:02,048 --> 00:47:04,949
You have to find a child who died in his first year of life...

574
00:47:05,351 --> 00:47:06,545
order the birth certificate.

575
00:47:06,953 --> 00:47:08,079
Isn't that sweet?

576
00:47:08,354 --> 00:47:10,447
Then you have an identity of a real person...

577
00:47:10,523 --> 00:47:12,320
supported by government records...

578
00:47:12,525 --> 00:47:15,119
and you don't have to worry about tripping over histories.

579
00:47:15,294 --> 00:47:19,856
That's right. And an infant doesn't have a driving record...

580
00:47:19,932 --> 00:47:23,424
no Social Security number, and usually they don't commit felonies.

581
00:47:24,337 --> 00:47:25,964
How did Springfield use it?

582
00:47:27,039 --> 00:47:30,065
He got a group of people together, all with phony IDs...

583
00:47:30,142 --> 00:47:32,474
and then he had them insured by different companies.

584
00:47:32,545 --> 00:47:34,843
Then they went out, staged a bunch of phony accidents...

585
00:47:34,914 --> 00:47:36,381
collected against those policies.

586
00:47:36,515 --> 00:47:38,608
If I were you, I'd check some of those doctors.

587
00:47:38,684 --> 00:47:40,447
Yeah. But what about Hartman?

588
00:47:40,553 --> 00:47:42,680
I think you'll find out from Jeannie Szymczyk...

589
00:47:42,755 --> 00:47:45,246
that Billy Jo was part of the operation and wanted out.

590
00:47:46,158 --> 00:47:50,094
They let him out all right at the bottom of a canyon.

591
00:47:54,367 --> 00:47:58,497
That's it, Jim. It didn't turn out exactly the way I'd hoped...

592
00:47:58,571 --> 00:48:03,065
but at least I know now for sure. Thank you, too, Lieutenant.

593
00:48:04,243 --> 00:48:05,938
I'll wait down in the car for you.

594
00:48:06,012 --> 00:48:07,377
You want a lift home, don't you?

595
00:48:07,446 --> 00:48:09,107
Yeah. I'll need one. Thanks, Tom.

596
00:48:09,181 --> 00:48:10,546
Goodbye, Mrs. Hartman.

597
00:48:12,118 --> 00:48:15,485
I think you forgot this. Maggie found it on the desk.

598
00:48:16,122 --> 00:48:18,750
Yeah. How's Maggie feeling? Much better.

599
00:48:18,824 --> 00:48:21,258
Well enough to cook one of her roasts in a couple of days.

600
00:48:21,327 --> 00:48:22,316
I'll call you.

601
00:48:23,095 --> 00:48:24,562
And thanks, Jim.

602
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:36,338
I got the car back. Nice.

603
00:48:36,409 --> 00:48:38,843
I think I'm gonna put it on display right out front...

604
00:48:38,911 --> 00:48:42,210
with a big sign on it: "Wreck Of The Week - Drive Carefully."

605
00:48:42,281 --> 00:48:45,614
That'll make it look like you care. People will love you for it.

606
00:48:45,918 --> 00:48:49,115
You said you were gonna drive it carefully, Jimmy, baby. Remember?

607
00:48:50,189 --> 00:48:52,555
The guys driving the tow truck that brought it in...

608
00:48:52,625 --> 00:48:53,717
had a bet going.

609
00:48:55,528 --> 00:48:58,156
Do you wanna hear the bet? Not necessarily, no.

610
00:48:58,230 --> 00:49:01,666
One guy bet it was a Ford. The other guy said, "No, it's a Chrysler."

611
00:49:01,734 --> 00:49:04,635
Imagine the surprise when I grin and tell them it's a Buick.

612
00:49:04,704 --> 00:49:06,968
I'm sorry, Freddie, I really am. I didn't mean to...

613
00:49:07,039 --> 00:49:09,769
Don't give it another thought, Jim, baby. Everything's cool.

614
00:49:09,942 --> 00:49:12,240
It is? Yeah, you got bailed out.

615
00:49:12,511 --> 00:49:16,038
By who? By a lady, at least I think she was a lady.

616
00:49:16,115 --> 00:49:17,980
It was kind of hard to tell in that outfit.

617
00:49:18,050 --> 00:49:20,712
She paid for the loaner, which you completely demolished...

618
00:49:21,020 --> 00:49:23,113
and she also paid for the repairs on your car.

619
00:49:23,456 --> 00:49:26,391
Now there is a lady I wouldn't let go if I was you...

620
00:49:26,459 --> 00:49:28,359
no matter how funny she dressed.

621
00:49:30,529 --> 00:49:31,894
That lady has style.
