Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,833
I want to file an assault
and battery complaint...
2
00:00:25,903 --> 00:00:28,463
and I'll give you a tip
on a kidnapping.
3
00:00:29,273 --> 00:00:30,297
[Alarm rings]
4
00:00:33,878 --> 00:00:36,676
I was told that
you were very reliable.
5
00:00:36,747 --> 00:00:39,011
Reliable, but chicken.
6
00:00:39,083 --> 00:00:42,075
Would you let go of my hand?
I think you're gonna
break my fingers.
7
00:00:42,153 --> 00:00:45,350
If our stock goes down
two or three points...
8
00:00:45,422 --> 00:00:48,585
it could cost the company
in the neighborhood
of $10 million.
9
00:00:48,692 --> 00:00:50,683
Did I catch over
my limit or what?
10
00:00:51,028 --> 00:00:52,495
You're under arrest.
11
00:00:53,798 --> 00:00:55,527
[Phone ringing]
12
00:00:56,467 --> 00:00:58,526
(Rockford on
answering machine)
This is Jim Rockford.
13
00:00:58,602 --> 00:01:00,297
At the tone, leave your name
and message.
14
00:01:00,371 --> 00:01:01,497
I'll get back to you.
15
00:01:01,572 --> 00:01:02,596
[Beeps]
16
00:01:02,673 --> 00:01:05,608
(Dennis)
Hey, Jimmy. This here is
Dennis Garot. Remember me?
17
00:01:05,843 --> 00:01:08,744
From the Army.
I'm stuck here in town.
18
00:01:08,813 --> 00:01:10,940
How about I come over
and bunk with you, buddy?
19
00:02:20,784 --> 00:02:23,810
(Leon)
I don't care
whether that happens or not.
20
00:02:24,355 --> 00:02:25,617
Listen, Morrie.
21
00:02:25,689 --> 00:02:29,318
You're up to your sweet tail
in stock options
and fringes...
22
00:02:29,393 --> 00:02:33,090
so don't give me a lot of bull
about what you can do
or what you can't do.
23
00:02:33,163 --> 00:02:35,757
You just get it done,
or I'm gonna cut off
your water...
24
00:02:35,833 --> 00:02:37,960
and leave you swinging
in the breeze.
25
00:02:42,873 --> 00:02:45,501
Okay, you do that,
then you get back to me.
26
00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:55,245
(Stan)
You see the Center City
finance quotes?
27
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,777
Yeah. It's falling out of bed.
Down five-eighths.
28
00:02:59,323 --> 00:03:01,257
We keep the pressure on
and the rumors flying...
29
00:03:01,325 --> 00:03:04,055
we'll be able to
pick up that thing
for pocket change.
30
00:03:05,763 --> 00:03:07,321
[Computer sounds]
31
00:03:07,498 --> 00:03:10,023
You seen Alec Morris around
last couple of days?
32
00:03:10,100 --> 00:03:11,624
No. Why?
33
00:03:12,970 --> 00:03:15,438
Morrie says he called in sick.
34
00:03:16,674 --> 00:03:18,801
He's been acting funny.
Talking about resigning.
35
00:03:18,876 --> 00:03:20,901
Maybe you better find him.
36
00:03:21,278 --> 00:03:24,042
Why worry? He's fixed.
He's okay.
37
00:03:25,049 --> 00:03:28,712
Look, Stan,
when I want to argue,
I go home to Phyllis.
38
00:03:29,486 --> 00:03:30,783
Find him.
39
00:03:32,556 --> 00:03:35,024
I want to take
his blood pressure.
40
00:03:36,527 --> 00:03:40,361
Okay, Leon. I'll have him here
tomorrow at 9:00 a.m.
41
00:03:43,467 --> 00:03:45,162
[Waves breaking]
42
00:03:50,674 --> 00:03:52,505
[Knocking on door]
43
00:03:53,043 --> 00:03:54,032
[Sighs]
44
00:04:02,119 --> 00:04:05,452
Are you Jim Rockford?
Yes. Sorry, can't shake hands.
45
00:04:05,522 --> 00:04:07,752
I've been fixing
my garbage disposal.
46
00:04:07,825 --> 00:04:09,884
I've been pawing around
down in there.
47
00:04:11,495 --> 00:04:13,861
May I come in?
It depends on what you want.
48
00:04:13,931 --> 00:04:15,922
You buying, selling,
or collecting?
49
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,468
I'm hoping I might arrange
for your services.
50
00:04:18,535 --> 00:04:20,469
Buying. Come on in.
51
00:04:22,006 --> 00:04:24,804
I'm sorry, but I'm always
a little cautious about men...
52
00:04:24,875 --> 00:04:27,537
wearing pinstripe suits
with briefcases.
53
00:04:29,046 --> 00:04:32,015
Yeah, I'm a sucker
for the Encyclopedia.
54
00:04:32,549 --> 00:04:36,178
In my lifetime, I have bought
three complete sets.
55
00:04:37,021 --> 00:04:39,717
You're joking, of course.
Yeah.
56
00:04:40,657 --> 00:04:43,421
You said you were
interested in my service.
57
00:04:43,794 --> 00:04:45,193
Well, I...
58
00:04:45,596 --> 00:04:49,225
Are we alone, Mr. Rockford?
You're looking
at the whole spread.
59
00:04:51,435 --> 00:04:56,270
If what I say sounds
slightly bizarre,
I hope you'll...
60
00:05:00,878 --> 00:05:03,711
You any good at fixing
garbage disposals?
61
00:05:05,149 --> 00:05:08,380
Have you tried
the reset button?
Yeah. Nothing.
62
00:05:08,786 --> 00:05:11,846
Come on over. You can kibitz
while I try to fix this thing.
63
00:05:14,491 --> 00:05:16,049
Yeah, go ahead.
64
00:05:16,427 --> 00:05:19,225
I'm involved in something
very dangerous,
Mr. Rockford...
65
00:05:19,296 --> 00:05:21,287
and I'm involved very deeply.
66
00:05:21,365 --> 00:05:24,732
What I need is somebody
to act as a go-between...
67
00:05:24,802 --> 00:05:27,532
a kind of liaison agent...
68
00:05:27,604 --> 00:05:30,038
between me and several
Federal agencies.
69
00:05:31,108 --> 00:05:33,372
It'll depend on
several inquiries
that I've made...
70
00:05:33,444 --> 00:05:35,503
What? Don't do that.
71
00:05:36,246 --> 00:05:39,079
Put your hand
in there like that
when the switch is on.
72
00:05:41,085 --> 00:05:42,313
Thanks.
73
00:05:44,421 --> 00:05:47,322
What did you say
you're involved in, Mister...
74
00:05:47,391 --> 00:05:51,521
I'd rather not tell you
my name just yet.
Would you mind if I didn't?
75
00:05:51,595 --> 00:05:52,687
Look, it's your name.
76
00:05:52,763 --> 00:05:56,164
You should be able to
give it out or keep it
as you like.
77
00:05:56,233 --> 00:05:58,827
Would you hand me
that broom, please?
78
00:06:04,007 --> 00:06:06,532
[Clearing throat]
Would you be willing to act...
79
00:06:06,610 --> 00:06:09,101
in such a capacity,
Mr. Rockford?
80
00:06:09,179 --> 00:06:12,012
You said it was dangerous.
How dangerous?
81
00:06:12,950 --> 00:06:14,577
I'm not certain.
82
00:06:14,718 --> 00:06:17,915
Yeah, in all candor,
if it's really dangerous...
83
00:06:18,122 --> 00:06:20,454
I don't think I'd be
particularly interested.
84
00:06:20,657 --> 00:06:24,718
I don't understand.
I was told that
you were very reliable.
85
00:06:25,529 --> 00:06:27,690
Reliable, but chicken.
86
00:06:28,298 --> 00:06:30,732
Would you flip the switch
for me, please?
87
00:06:31,135 --> 00:06:32,159
[Machine humming]
88
00:06:32,236 --> 00:06:36,172
Look, I don't mean to be glib,
but if you don't tell me
what the trouble is...
89
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,765
I'm not gonna agree
to help you.
It's as simple as that.
90
00:06:38,842 --> 00:06:41,276
It's so bizarre,
I don't think
anybody will believe me.
91
00:06:41,345 --> 00:06:43,745
That's part of the problem,
you see.
92
00:06:43,814 --> 00:06:45,372
[Knocking on door]
93
00:06:45,782 --> 00:06:47,579
That's my dad.
94
00:06:48,252 --> 00:06:51,016
He said he'd come over
and help me fix this thing.
95
00:06:51,655 --> 00:06:53,850
He's the one that
jammed it up.
96
00:06:59,630 --> 00:07:01,291
[Rockford grunts]
97
00:07:07,971 --> 00:07:10,872
Hey, pal, will you
give me a little help here?
98
00:07:20,617 --> 00:07:22,312
[Knocking on door]
99
00:07:22,853 --> 00:07:25,481
(Rocky)
Hey, Jimmy. You in there, Son?
100
00:07:26,123 --> 00:07:28,114
Hey, sonny, you in there?
101
00:07:39,236 --> 00:07:40,498
[Groans]
102
00:07:45,342 --> 00:07:48,311
Here. You okay?
103
00:07:48,845 --> 00:07:51,814
What happened?
I don't know. Wait a minute.
104
00:07:52,115 --> 00:07:53,810
Yeah, I'm all right.
105
00:07:53,884 --> 00:07:56,284
I told you to stay away
from that thing
till I got here.
106
00:07:56,353 --> 00:07:58,378
You're supposed to
turn the current off first.
107
00:07:58,455 --> 00:08:01,151
Otherwise, you'd get burnt
good and brown.
108
00:08:01,858 --> 00:08:03,052
Oh, no!
109
00:08:03,694 --> 00:08:07,357
You didn't get hit?
It was the disposer,
wasn't it?
110
00:08:07,431 --> 00:08:10,923
Yeah, it was the disposer,
Rocky. Give me a hand,
will you?
111
00:08:11,001 --> 00:08:14,459
You ain't on a case, right?
Right. I'm not on a case.
112
00:08:18,976 --> 00:08:20,443
What are you looking for?
113
00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:23,411
A guy in a pinstripe suit,
carrying a briefcase.
114
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,879
Somebody hit you.
115
00:08:24,948 --> 00:08:28,975
Rocky, don't come down
on me now.
Jim, if you weren't such a...
116
00:08:31,788 --> 00:08:33,983
What are you doing?
I'm calling Doc Wheaten.
117
00:08:34,057 --> 00:08:37,026
I don't want to see
Doc Wheaten.
Well, that's tough.
118
00:08:37,527 --> 00:08:38,619
Look, I'm your father.
119
00:08:38,695 --> 00:08:41,960
I got an interest in
whether or not your head is
leaking on the inside.
120
00:08:42,032 --> 00:08:45,263
Now, you're getting so dumb
I'm gonna have to take you out
for walks...
121
00:08:45,335 --> 00:08:47,166
and hold your hand
in the market.
122
00:08:47,237 --> 00:08:49,603
You're funny, Rocky.
You're funny.
Not really.
123
00:08:49,673 --> 00:08:52,665
All right, you want to be
a dummy, go ahead.
124
00:08:52,743 --> 00:08:56,179
But if I was you, I'd
get myself a helmet
and I'd sleep in it...
125
00:08:56,246 --> 00:09:00,273
'cause them head smashers
is starting to line up
for turns at you.
126
00:09:02,352 --> 00:09:07,221
Rocky, I'm okay. Really, I am.
Did you try the reset button?
127
00:09:07,291 --> 00:09:09,691
Yeah.
Did you try the broom handle?
128
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,354
Yeah.
Are you gonna call the cops?
129
00:09:14,364 --> 00:09:17,299
I don't think they'd want to
fix it for me.
130
00:09:18,302 --> 00:09:20,429
That ain't really very funny.
131
00:09:20,671 --> 00:09:24,767
You get on that phone
and call the cops.
Tell them what happened.
132
00:09:24,841 --> 00:09:26,536
Okay, I'll call them.
133
00:09:34,618 --> 00:09:35,607
[Sighs]
134
00:09:44,328 --> 00:09:45,989
Lt. Becker, please.
135
00:09:46,763 --> 00:09:48,060
[Ringing]
136
00:09:49,966 --> 00:09:52,696
Becker.
(Rockford)
Dennis, this is Jim.
137
00:09:52,936 --> 00:09:54,904
You gonna be around
for about an hour or so?
138
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:56,232
Yeah. What's up?
139
00:09:56,740 --> 00:09:59,641
I want to file an assault
and battery complaint...
140
00:09:59,710 --> 00:10:02,178
and I'll give you a tip
on a kidnapping.
141
00:10:03,847 --> 00:10:06,975
Who got beat up?
Who else?
142
00:10:33,377 --> 00:10:36,210
Are you Mr. Rockford,
the private detective?
143
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:37,678
Yes, ma'am.
144
00:10:37,914 --> 00:10:40,246
Could I speak to you
for a moment?
145
00:10:40,317 --> 00:10:42,911
Sure. Would you care
to sit down?
146
00:10:46,957 --> 00:10:48,322
What is it?
147
00:10:48,392 --> 00:10:51,589
Have you been working
for man named Alec Morris?
148
00:10:52,996 --> 00:10:54,395
I don't think so.
149
00:10:54,464 --> 00:10:56,557
He said if anything
happened to him,
150
00:10:56,633 --> 00:10:58,794
I should get in touch
with Jim Rockford.
151
00:10:59,302 --> 00:11:01,031
What does he look like?
152
00:11:01,905 --> 00:11:06,399
He's 6 foot, he weighs
180 pounds...
Is his hair gray?
153
00:11:08,245 --> 00:11:10,509
Then you do know where he is?
154
00:11:10,981 --> 00:11:12,846
He came to my place
last night.
155
00:11:12,916 --> 00:11:15,146
He didn't tell me
what his name was
or what he wanted.
156
00:11:15,218 --> 00:11:17,880
He just told me that
he needed a go-between.
157
00:11:17,954 --> 00:11:21,947
We never got too far into it
'cause two men
broke into my place...
158
00:11:22,025 --> 00:11:24,960
and they knocked me out,
grabbed him and left.
159
00:11:25,262 --> 00:11:28,390
No.
Who is he?
160
00:11:29,900 --> 00:11:32,767
My husband.
Alec is my husband.
161
00:11:33,437 --> 00:11:36,065
I'm sorry, Mrs. Morris.
I didn't know.
162
00:11:37,107 --> 00:11:41,737
He wouldn't talk about it,
but something in that company
scared him.
163
00:11:42,746 --> 00:11:46,739
Where does he work?
Fiscal Dynamics Incorporated.
164
00:11:46,817 --> 00:11:48,444
The conglomerate?
165
00:11:48,518 --> 00:11:51,919
Alec is the head
computer programmer
for the company.
166
00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:56,049
Will you help me find him?
167
00:11:56,493 --> 00:11:58,927
Well, Mrs. Morris,
it's an open police case
168
00:11:58,995 --> 00:12:01,293
and I don't work
on open cases.
169
00:12:01,431 --> 00:12:05,094
The police?
How are they involved?
I didn't call them.
170
00:12:05,168 --> 00:12:06,294
I did.
171
00:12:06,903 --> 00:12:10,737
Alec told me not to
call the police.
He was very firm about it.
172
00:12:10,807 --> 00:12:13,241
He was kidnapped
and I was assaulted.
173
00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:14,675
When things like that
happen...
174
00:12:14,744 --> 00:12:17,804
the usual procedure
is to go to the police
and tell them.
175
00:12:17,881 --> 00:12:20,179
But don't you see...
176
00:12:20,250 --> 00:12:23,276
if Alec was kidnapped
and the police are involved...
177
00:12:23,353 --> 00:12:25,753
that might jeopardize
his safety.
178
00:12:25,956 --> 00:12:27,253
That's a myth.
179
00:12:27,324 --> 00:12:31,226
Believe me, the police know
how to handle these things
better than you and me.
180
00:12:31,928 --> 00:12:33,657
What are you doing?
181
00:12:33,730 --> 00:12:36,893
Last night, when I made
the report, I didn't have
your husband's name.
182
00:12:36,967 --> 00:12:40,903
Now I'm gonna have to
give it to them.
No, please. Don't!
183
00:12:40,971 --> 00:12:43,098
I don't have any choice,
Mrs. Morris.
184
00:12:43,173 --> 00:12:45,505
If I know something
and I don't tell them...
185
00:12:45,575 --> 00:12:48,271
that's withholding evidence,
which is a felony.
186
00:13:16,773 --> 00:13:18,206
Hi, fellows,
what's going on?
187
00:13:18,275 --> 00:13:19,867
You James Rockford,
the P. I?
188
00:13:20,377 --> 00:13:23,608
Yeah. I'm not
a private investigator today,
I'm a fisherman.
189
00:13:23,747 --> 00:13:25,339
It's pretty good fishing
today.
190
00:13:25,415 --> 00:13:28,043
Too many for me,
if you like fish,
I'd be glad to split them.
191
00:13:28,118 --> 00:13:30,052
Just keep your hands
right there.
192
00:13:32,923 --> 00:13:36,654
What's going on?
Did I catch over my limit
or what?
193
00:13:37,427 --> 00:13:39,190
You're under arrest.
194
00:13:39,262 --> 00:13:42,561
Anything you say can be held
against you. You have a right
to an attorney.
195
00:13:42,632 --> 00:13:45,396
If you can't afford one,
one will be provided for you.
196
00:13:46,102 --> 00:13:47,899
Damn!
What was that?
197
00:13:48,705 --> 00:13:52,539
I'm just getting
a little sick of this.
Works both ways.
198
00:13:52,809 --> 00:13:54,470
[Seagulls cawing]
199
00:13:59,583 --> 00:14:03,144
Okay, you're waiving
your right to your attorney.
Is that right?
200
00:14:03,219 --> 00:14:06,711
(Rockford)
I'm not waiving anything.
I just don't see any point...
201
00:14:07,190 --> 00:14:08,817
in running up
a lot of lawyers fees...
202
00:14:08,892 --> 00:14:11,452
till you know whether
you're really in the omelet,
right?
203
00:14:12,562 --> 00:14:15,827
I found out about you
from CICD.
204
00:14:16,733 --> 00:14:19,361
You know, guys with records
should be careful...
205
00:14:19,436 --> 00:14:22,405
about playing games
with the police department,
Jimmy.
206
00:14:22,472 --> 00:14:27,000
Yeah, that makes sense.
What kind of game
was I playing, Danny?
207
00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:30,843
I got a call on you.
I got a tip you're a wise guy.
208
00:14:31,748 --> 00:14:34,945
So I figured we wouldn't
waste time going through P.D.
209
00:14:35,118 --> 00:14:38,747
Since you're cold
on this thing,
we'll just have a chat...
210
00:14:38,822 --> 00:14:41,256
and turn you over
to the county.
211
00:14:41,324 --> 00:14:43,986
You're beginning
to violate my rights.
212
00:14:44,494 --> 00:14:46,485
I have a report here
signed by you...
213
00:14:46,563 --> 00:14:51,330
stating that a man named
Alec Morris was kidnapped
while in your presence.
214
00:14:51,935 --> 00:14:56,668
Do you acknowledge
making this report?
Yeah, he was out at my place.
215
00:14:56,773 --> 00:15:01,176
A couple of guys came in
and knocked me down and out
and towed him away.
216
00:15:01,344 --> 00:15:05,576
Later, his wife came to me
and said he'd been afraid...
217
00:15:05,649 --> 00:15:08,447
and it all had something to do
with Fiscal Dynamics.
218
00:15:08,518 --> 00:15:12,818
That doesn't make
a lot of sense, does it?
I mean, the part about FDI.
219
00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:16,490
No, I got to admit that
that did bother me a little...
220
00:15:16,559 --> 00:15:18,550
but that's what she said.
221
00:15:19,362 --> 00:15:21,796
The police talked to
Alec Morris.
222
00:15:22,232 --> 00:15:25,167
He says that no such event
ever took place.
223
00:15:25,402 --> 00:15:28,838
That makes you
guilty of making
a false police report.
224
00:15:29,439 --> 00:15:31,236
You think that's funny
or something?
225
00:15:31,307 --> 00:15:35,243
You get your jollies
wasting the time
of the police department?
226
00:15:35,912 --> 00:15:37,140
I told you what happened.
227
00:15:37,213 --> 00:15:40,910
You're in trouble, Rockford.
We don't think this is
much of a joke.
228
00:15:40,984 --> 00:15:45,444
As a matter of fact,
just to show you
how unfunny we think it is...
229
00:15:46,322 --> 00:15:49,587
we're gonna drop you
in the county bucket
for six months.
230
00:15:55,732 --> 00:15:58,633
Where did you ever
learn to be such a jerk?
231
00:16:01,404 --> 00:16:02,496
Getting worried?
232
00:16:02,572 --> 00:16:04,904
Maybe the guy who was
taken out of my trailer...
233
00:16:04,974 --> 00:16:08,000
isn't the same guy you
talked to. Did you ever
think of that?
234
00:16:09,212 --> 00:16:11,373
Send in Mr. And Mrs. Morris.
235
00:16:16,152 --> 00:16:18,017
[Typewriter clacking]
236
00:16:18,888 --> 00:16:20,150
Morning, Mr. Morris.
237
00:16:22,859 --> 00:16:26,056
What's going on?
What's happening?
You recognize them?
238
00:16:26,696 --> 00:16:27,788
Yeah.
239
00:16:28,565 --> 00:16:32,194
What are you trying to do,
Mister...
Rockford's the name.
240
00:16:32,268 --> 00:16:36,204
He knows my name.
I've never seen you before.
241
00:16:36,272 --> 00:16:39,298
For the life of me,
I can't understand
why do you say that I have...
242
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:41,036
or that I was kidnapped.
243
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,540
How about you?
I feel very sorry for you.
244
00:16:47,083 --> 00:16:49,779
You must have
a deep emotional problem.
245
00:16:50,186 --> 00:16:52,051
I'm beginning to get one.
246
00:16:52,122 --> 00:16:54,249
Thanks for coming by,
Mr. And Mrs. Morris.
247
00:16:54,324 --> 00:16:56,792
I'll have a car take you
back to your house.
248
00:17:03,266 --> 00:17:04,665
I don't know about you,
Jimmy,
249
00:17:04,734 --> 00:17:08,067
but I think
you're in the omelet.
250
00:17:11,808 --> 00:17:14,038
I want to talk to my attorney.
251
00:17:15,578 --> 00:17:17,808
You get those papers
over to me this afternoon.
252
00:17:17,881 --> 00:17:20,907
Make sure your father
co-signs that note.
Okay, Solly.
253
00:17:20,984 --> 00:17:23,384
I better have the pink slip
to your car while I'm at it.
254
00:17:23,453 --> 00:17:25,978
Will you cut it out?
It's not like we
never met before.
255
00:17:26,055 --> 00:17:28,216
How many times I ever
jumped one of your bonds?
256
00:17:28,291 --> 00:17:31,852
You know
the bail bond business, Jim.
It's cash and carry.
257
00:17:31,928 --> 00:17:35,227
The only good risk
is a hooker
with a big client list.
258
00:17:35,298 --> 00:17:38,734
You skip out on this bond,
and I'm coming after you
with a net.
259
00:17:39,302 --> 00:17:42,066
When you come over,
bring the pink slip.
260
00:17:44,174 --> 00:17:47,337
I never let my clients
use Solly. He's a bum.
261
00:17:47,410 --> 00:17:49,537
I can't understand
why you keep going back
to him.
262
00:17:49,612 --> 00:17:51,307
Keep going back to him?
263
00:17:51,381 --> 00:17:54,214
You make it sound like
I never get off
the police blotter.
264
00:17:54,284 --> 00:17:59,119
I don't keep going back
to him. I used him once
or twice before, that's all.
265
00:17:59,789 --> 00:18:03,885
Okay, Jim, we have
a preliminary hearing
on the third. Wear a tie.
266
00:18:10,033 --> 00:18:11,466
Who are you?

[Typewriter clacking]
268
00:18:34,524 --> 00:18:37,823
Is Alec around?
How did you get in here?
269
00:18:38,161 --> 00:18:42,188
I took the elevator
from the lobby, I walked down
the corridor...
270
00:18:42,265 --> 00:18:45,234
I opened the door,
and came in. Tricky, huh?
271
00:18:45,335 --> 00:18:48,930
You better leave. They're
pretty careful about
unauthorized people.
272
00:18:49,239 --> 00:18:52,402
Well, you see, I'm Alec's
sister's cousin from Minneola,
Washington.
273
00:18:52,475 --> 00:18:54,875
Me, Harriet and the kids
were supposed to go
to Disneyland...
274
00:18:54,944 --> 00:18:57,572
and Alec was supposed to
pick up the tickets.
I guess he forgot.
275
00:18:57,647 --> 00:19:00,707
I'm double-parked downstairs
with a station wagon
full of kids...
276
00:19:00,783 --> 00:19:04,014
who'll feed me to the sharks
if I don't get back
with six tickets.
277
00:19:04,087 --> 00:19:07,887
If that qualifies me
as a security threat,
you guys got a big problem.
278
00:19:09,926 --> 00:19:12,394
Over there.
Thanks.

Hello, Alec.
280
00:19:32,548 --> 00:19:35,779
How did you get in here?
I shot the doorman.
281
00:19:40,023 --> 00:19:42,423
You got me into
a lot of trouble, Alec.
282
00:19:42,492 --> 00:19:44,790
I don't know what
you're talking about.
283
00:19:44,894 --> 00:19:47,954
Okay. You want to start
that way, we'll start
that way.
284

No, wait.
You don't understand.

I thought you said
we're going...
I lied. Get in there.
292
00:20:36,312 --> 00:20:38,644
All right, Alec,
start explaining.
293
00:20:39,515 --> 00:20:41,506
And you better make
a lot of sense.
294
00:20:45,021 --> 00:20:47,819
Do you know what it's like
to be terrified, Mr. Rockford?
295

No, I mean, really,
honestly terrified.

I don't sleep. When I eat,
I throw it all up
20 minutes later.
297

I'm so scared,
I don't know
what I'm doing anymore.
298

you're plain out of luck.

and I'm not going to
tell you anything.

What happened
when you came to my trailer...
301
00:21:04,173 --> 00:21:06,835
you said you wanted me
to act as a go-between.
302
00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:10,172
Did I? I don't remember.
303
00:21:13,983 --> 00:21:18,010
I suppose you know
what you're doing to me
with the police, Alec.

you should pity me.

00:24:12,328 --> 00:24:15,729
Come to think of it, I had it
right on this counter
a couple of days ago.
328
00:24:15,798 --> 00:24:17,993
Did anybody call, Rocky?
No.
329
00:24:18,501 --> 00:24:21,800
Yeah. It's on the pad.
Some lady named Mrs. Parker.
330
00:24:25,208 --> 00:24:26,698
[Clinking]
331
00:24:32,548 --> 00:24:36,143
Mrs. Parker, please.
This is Jim Rockford.
332
00:24:40,389 --> 00:24:42,380
[Footsteps approaching]
333
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,794
(Teresa)
Mrs. Parker is in the garage.
You want to follow me?
334
00:24:46,862 --> 00:24:48,830
Who are you?
I'm the maid.
335
00:24:48,898 --> 00:24:52,459
Uniforms all at the cleaners?
I'm also a good mechanic.
336
00:24:52,535 --> 00:24:56,027
Carburetion mostly, but I'm
great at front-end alignment
and fine-tuning.
337
00:24:58,207 --> 00:24:59,970
[Metallic clanking]
338
00:25:05,214 --> 00:25:07,512
(Doris)
Teresa, hand me
the inch spanner, will you?
339
00:25:07,583 --> 00:25:08,880
Mr. Rockford is here.
340
00:25:11,621 --> 00:25:15,887
Mr. Rockford, excuse the way
I look. I'm trying to
get this fixed before 5:00.
341
00:25:16,025 --> 00:25:18,459
What happens at 5:00.
Turn into a pumpkin?
342
00:25:18,527 --> 00:25:20,119
It gets picked up
by my head mechanic...
343
00:25:20,196 --> 00:25:22,096
and trucked out to Riverside
for the weekend.
344
00:25:22,164 --> 00:25:23,688
You finish cleaning
the carburetor jet?
345
00:25:23,766 --> 00:25:26,360
No, it's still in the wash.
But I'll get to it
after class.
346
00:25:26,435 --> 00:25:28,369
By the way, I didn't
get to the dishes either...
347
00:25:28,437 --> 00:25:31,964
and the kitchen is beginning
to look like a Salvation Army
Reclamation Center.
348
00:25:32,041 --> 00:25:33,440
Let's not worry about it
till later.
349
00:25:33,509 --> 00:25:35,875
Go on to class. I'll see you
when you get back.
350
00:25:38,014 --> 00:25:39,345
She's really a maid?
351
00:25:39,415 --> 00:25:42,248
She's a lot of things,
but mostly she's
a college student...
352
00:25:42,318 --> 00:25:44,377
trying to get her degree
in Chemical Engineering.
353
00:25:44,453 --> 00:25:47,422
You didn't say on the phone
why you wanted to talk to me.
354
00:25:47,490 --> 00:25:49,355
I'd like you
to see something first.
355
00:26:04,607 --> 00:26:07,440
Well, that explains the guy
with the camera.
I wonder why he ran?
356
00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:11,310
Is it true what you claim?
That two men took Alec Morris
out of your trailer.
357
00:26:11,681 --> 00:26:15,344
I hope you won't think
I'm getting too cagey,
Mrs. Parker...
358
00:26:15,418 --> 00:26:17,682
but I'm not sure I want to
discuss it with you.
359
00:26:17,753 --> 00:26:20,449
Have they threatened you
or what?
Who?
360
00:26:20,523 --> 00:26:24,425
The people
from Fiscal Dynamics.
Why would they threaten me?
361
00:26:24,493 --> 00:26:26,358
I'm just a cluck
who goes around
362
00:26:26,429 --> 00:26:28,124
giving false information
to the police.
363
00:26:28,731 --> 00:26:30,562
I believe everything
in that article...
364
00:26:30,633 --> 00:26:33,727
and I think Fiscal Dynamics
is behind the whole thing.
365
00:26:33,803 --> 00:26:36,772
Why?
Are you working on this case?
366
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:39,364
What, do you mean
do I have a client?
The answer is no.
367
00:26:39,442 --> 00:26:42,673
I'm just trying to get out
from under this false charge.
368
00:26:43,379 --> 00:26:46,871
I'd like to hire you
to investigate
my husband's death.
369
00:26:47,149 --> 00:26:51,142
Who was your husband?
My husband was Guy Parker.
370
00:26:52,188 --> 00:26:54,122
Guy was killed
in an automobile accident
371
00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:57,057
on Mulholland Road
about 18 months ago.
372
00:26:58,561 --> 00:27:00,461
That used to be
Guy's race car.
373
00:27:00,529 --> 00:27:03,191
We used to team race it
at the local tracks.
374
00:27:03,399 --> 00:27:05,697
Guy was
one of the best drivers
in his class.
375
00:27:05,768 --> 00:27:08,601
I couldn't believe that
he lost control of his car
on Mulholland.
376
00:27:08,671 --> 00:27:10,935
He was just too good for that.
377
00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:15,739
How does it all fit in
with FDI and Alec Morris?
378
00:27:16,178 --> 00:27:17,645
My husband had the same job...
379
00:27:17,713 --> 00:27:20,375
with Financial Dynamics
that Alec Morris has now.
380
00:27:20,716 --> 00:27:22,741
I was always suspicious
of that accident,
381
00:27:22,818 --> 00:27:24,718
but I couldn't get anybody
to help me.
382
00:27:24,787 --> 00:27:26,516
The cops had it down
as a traffic accident
383
00:27:26,589 --> 00:27:28,921
and they weren't about to
call it murder.
384
00:27:28,991 --> 00:27:30,856
I think he was murdered.
385
00:27:30,926 --> 00:27:33,918
And I think it has something
to do with that company.
386
00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:35,858
Will you work for me?
387
00:27:35,931 --> 00:27:38,900
You seem to be the only one
willing to stand up
against that bunch.
388
00:27:38,968 --> 00:27:40,026
Are you kidding?
389
00:27:40,102 --> 00:27:42,798
I'm looking for a hole
to climb in before they
plow me under.
390
00:27:42,872 --> 00:27:46,899
But you made the charge.
That was before I knew
what was going on.
391
00:27:46,976 --> 00:27:49,501
I didn't even know
about Fiscal Dynamics.
392
00:27:49,578 --> 00:27:51,773
I'm afraid I don't understand.
I thought...
393
00:27:51,847 --> 00:27:55,112
Look, I'm about to get dumped
into the county jail.
394
00:27:55,184 --> 00:27:58,017
I'm not looking forward
to spending nine months
of my life...
395
00:27:58,087 --> 00:28:01,818
in a 20 foot square room,
being served creamed chip beef
on toast...
396
00:28:01,891 --> 00:28:05,122
because I was a good citizen
and reported what I thought
was a crime.
397
00:28:05,194 --> 00:28:07,059
So I'm working on my own case.
398
00:28:07,129 --> 00:28:10,360
Maybe it involves
your husband's death.
Maybe not.
399
00:28:10,433 --> 00:28:12,367
How much do you charge?
400
00:28:13,536 --> 00:28:16,937
$200 a day, plus expenses.
I'll pay it.
401
00:28:18,007 --> 00:28:21,465
I guess you don't understand.
I'm not investigating
your husband's death.
402
00:28:21,544 --> 00:28:23,944
I'm trying to get loose
of this indictment.
403
00:28:24,013 --> 00:28:26,607
I think it all comes down
to the same thing.
404
00:28:27,316 --> 00:28:30,046
All I want for my money
is for you to report back
to me...
405
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,178
what you've learned.
How can that hurt?
406
00:28:32,254 --> 00:28:35,348
You're working on it, anyway.
I'm offering to pay you.
407
00:28:40,029 --> 00:28:41,587
You got a deal.
408
00:28:43,566 --> 00:28:45,557
(Arnold)
Mr. Rockford, I'm sorry
we have to meet...
409
00:28:45,634 --> 00:28:46,658
on my lunch break...
410
00:28:46,735 --> 00:28:48,532
but I'm in a final audit
with my clients.
411
00:28:48,604 --> 00:28:51,402
You said you were
interested in hiring me.
Yeah.
412
00:28:52,041 --> 00:28:54,771
I need a good
financial analyst.
How much do you charge?
413
00:28:54,844 --> 00:28:58,541
It depends on the work.
I charge $70 an hour.
414
00:28:58,981 --> 00:29:01,711
Or if you've got a good deal,
I might jump in
for a percentage.
415
00:29:01,784 --> 00:29:04,184
$70 an hour? Well, that's...
416
00:29:04,253 --> 00:29:06,881
That's reasonable,
that's what it is.
417
00:29:07,122 --> 00:29:08,953
I had a deal last week.
418
00:29:09,024 --> 00:29:11,686
My client wanted to drop
$60,000 into Dynatron.
419
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,455
That's a little conglomerate
in Philadelphia.
420
00:29:13,529 --> 00:29:16,498
I spent two hours,
found out the float
in the stock was thin.
421
00:29:16,565 --> 00:29:19,227
Recommended against it,
it dropped three points.
422
00:29:19,301 --> 00:29:22,429
I've already saved my client
$150,000...
423
00:29:22,505 --> 00:29:24,496
and I charged him $150.
424
00:29:25,007 --> 00:29:28,443
If I take my kids
to Wonderland, I can blow
the same $150 in two hours.
425
00:29:28,511 --> 00:29:30,706
I call that reasonable.
What do you call it?
426
00:29:31,213 --> 00:29:32,703
All right, what do you
want me to do?
427
00:29:32,781 --> 00:29:35,978
I want you to run a check
on Financial Dynamics Inc.
428
00:29:38,554 --> 00:29:41,489
Jerry, give me one of those
chili things with onions.
429
00:29:41,557 --> 00:29:42,956
You eating?
430
00:29:43,325 --> 00:29:46,317
Two of those chili things.
Only hold the onions on mine.
431
00:29:46,662 --> 00:29:49,722
So you want to drop
your little bundle in FDI?
432
00:29:49,798 --> 00:29:52,358
That's a good choice.
No, Mr. Love.
433
00:29:52,434 --> 00:29:54,231
I want to drop my little bundle on you.
434
00:29:54,303 --> 00:29:57,431
I want you to tell me
all you can tell me on FDI.
435
00:29:57,506 --> 00:30:00,066
You haven't been on the street
very much, have you?
436
00:30:00,142 --> 00:30:01,336
Not a whole lot. No.
437
00:30:01,410 --> 00:30:05,278
I don't want to seem
offensive, Mr. Rockford,
I don't work for just anybody.
438
00:30:05,347 --> 00:30:08,680
I'm a securities analyst.
I screen my clients
very carefully.
439
00:30:09,051 --> 00:30:11,952
Because good clients
are like good sailboats.
440
00:30:12,187 --> 00:30:15,452
You invest your time in them
and you get to go
for a nice little ride.
441
00:30:15,524 --> 00:30:18,084
That's why I'm in the field.
You understand
what I'm saying?
442
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,924
How many of your
little sailboats do you have
floating around...
443
00:30:20,996 --> 00:30:24,022
in the Fiscal Dynamics puddle?
Hardly a puddle.
444
00:30:24,099 --> 00:30:25,999
It's one of
the largest companies
on the board.
445
00:30:26,068 --> 00:30:28,093
Assets of over $2 billion.
446
00:30:29,104 --> 00:30:32,073
You see, I think their
head computer programmer...
447
00:30:32,141 --> 00:30:34,541
is being forced to
do things against his will.
448
00:30:34,610 --> 00:30:38,137
I think it's just possible
that there's a whole lot wrong
with the company.
449
00:30:38,213 --> 00:30:41,148
I'm willing to pay you
$70 an hour to...
450
00:30:41,216 --> 00:30:44,879
take a run through their
financial statement, just see
what might be wrong.
451
00:30:48,524 --> 00:30:51,084
You're the detective
in the paper, aren't you?
452
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,493
Yeah, my secretary
clipped it out and showed it
to me. Funny.
453
00:30:55,097 --> 00:30:57,531
You got yourself
hung out there, didn't you?
454
00:30:59,068 --> 00:31:01,935
Look, Mr. Rockford.
455
00:31:02,605 --> 00:31:05,938
There is absolutely nothing
wrong with Fiscal Dynamics.
456
00:31:06,508 --> 00:31:08,339
I don't have to research them
for you...
457
00:31:08,410 --> 00:31:11,436
because I have personally
been through their
financial statement...
458
00:31:11,513 --> 00:31:13,003
at least 10 times.
459
00:31:13,082 --> 00:31:15,414
I've spoken to Mr. Fielder
a dozen times.
460
00:31:15,484 --> 00:31:18,317
All of this before I let
one of my clients
invest in the stock.
461
00:31:18,387 --> 00:31:20,685
That company is so healthy
it's disgusting.
462
00:31:22,825 --> 00:31:26,261
I'm giving you all this advice
for the price of a hotdog.
463
00:31:26,996 --> 00:31:28,554
I got to get back to work.
464
00:31:38,007 --> 00:31:39,702
$6.36?
465
00:31:42,378 --> 00:31:43,777
(Stan)
I hope everything is finished.
466
00:31:43,846 --> 00:31:46,906
(Carl)
Yeah, I got it done
last night.
467
00:31:47,916 --> 00:31:49,383
After hours.
468
00:31:57,559 --> 00:31:59,618
How come you guys
never look at the stuff?
469
00:31:59,695 --> 00:32:02,630
We look at it, Mr. Bovino.
It's just we're in a hurry.
470
00:32:03,032 --> 00:32:05,466
Mr. Gorrick, the money
you guys loaned me...
471
00:32:05,534 --> 00:32:07,695
for the new presses,
I really needed them.
472
00:32:08,637 --> 00:32:11,834
But it seems like
a lot of money to pay back.
You know what I mean?
473
00:32:12,041 --> 00:32:13,201
What?
474
00:32:15,110 --> 00:32:16,668
What is this?
475
00:32:16,979 --> 00:32:20,574
I got to put so much
of my profit to you guys
to cover the loan.
476
00:32:20,816 --> 00:32:23,444
And I got to work overtime
for all that printing.
477
00:32:23,552 --> 00:32:25,486
All I get is $700.
478
00:32:27,289 --> 00:32:31,487
I think I should do
better than that,
under the circumstances.
479
00:32:33,429 --> 00:32:37,331
I don't understand you, Carl.
If you have a problem,
speak up.
480
00:32:38,367 --> 00:32:40,835
You got the problem,
Mr. Gorrick.
481
00:32:42,738 --> 00:32:46,469
Carl, I don't like
what I'm hearing.
482
00:32:48,677 --> 00:32:52,704
Now you know we have
your note. We can call it in
anytime we want.
483
00:32:53,182 --> 00:32:56,083
If you can't pay up
within 10 days,
I own this place.
484
00:32:56,952 --> 00:32:59,182
I can make some phone calls,
you know.
485
00:32:59,254 --> 00:33:01,552
I figured out what all this
printing is for.
486
00:33:01,724 --> 00:33:04,750
Took me a while,
but I know what's going on.
487
00:33:05,494 --> 00:33:09,021
Carl, you know why we have
these things printed up.
488
00:33:09,398 --> 00:33:11,798
It's part of
the insurance brokers
sales kit.
489
00:33:11,867 --> 00:33:13,698
You go down to the street
and you'll find...
490
00:33:13,769 --> 00:33:15,430
that every broker
has this material.
491
00:33:15,504 --> 00:33:19,600
You want to call
the insurance examiners
or the SEC or the police...
492
00:33:19,675 --> 00:33:21,438
you go right ahead.
493
00:33:21,543 --> 00:33:23,704
You want
the telephone numbers,
call my secretary...
494
00:33:23,779 --> 00:33:25,974
she'll be happy to help you.
495
00:33:27,182 --> 00:33:30,811
But I don't like being
threatened and I don't like
being called a crook.
496
00:33:31,420 --> 00:33:34,150
I guess I was wrong.
497
00:33:37,726 --> 00:33:41,355
That's okay, Carl.
Anyone can make a mistake.
498
00:33:42,998 --> 00:33:45,432
The only unforgivable sin is stupidity.
499
00:33:48,103 --> 00:33:49,092
[Door opens]
500
00:34:01,350 --> 00:34:03,341
Mr. Rockford?
Yeah.
501
00:34:05,621 --> 00:34:07,054
I'm Ted Beaton.
502
00:34:07,222 --> 00:34:09,918
I wonder if I might
speak to you
for just a moment.
503
00:34:10,692 --> 00:34:12,091
Yeah, what is it?
504
00:34:12,161 --> 00:34:15,062
Mr. Leon Fielder
would like to have a chat
with you.
505
00:34:15,130 --> 00:34:17,325
Leon Fielder? Fielder?
506
00:34:17,533 --> 00:34:20,730
He's the President and
Chief Operating Officer of...
507
00:34:20,803 --> 00:34:22,930
Fiscal Dynamics Incorporated.
508
00:34:24,173 --> 00:34:25,936
Never heard of him.
509
00:34:26,742 --> 00:34:29,142
He said it was really
important that he see you.
510
00:34:29,211 --> 00:34:33,045
He said he would
make himself available
to meet wherever you want.
511
00:34:34,183 --> 00:34:37,277
However, if you could
come down to FDI...
512
00:34:37,352 --> 00:34:40,014
it would be a bit more
convenient for Mr. Fielder.
513
00:34:41,323 --> 00:34:43,314
What do you guys do?
514
00:34:44,193 --> 00:34:47,458
John is a marketing analyst
and I'm in product research.
515
00:34:48,897 --> 00:34:52,526
You can tell Mr. Fielder
I'll call about 3:30.
516
00:34:54,169 --> 00:34:56,069
Could we convince you
to come now?
517
00:34:56,972 --> 00:34:59,304
It depends on how you
want to go about it.
518
00:35:01,543 --> 00:35:03,170
Please come now.
519
00:35:04,213 --> 00:35:05,441
Sorry.
520
00:35:07,115 --> 00:35:11,211
Okay, 3:30 then, Mr. Rockford.
That will be fine.
Thank you very much, sir.
521
00:35:15,457 --> 00:35:18,221
You know, I think you'll
really enjoy meeting
Mr. Fielder.
522
00:35:18,293 --> 00:35:20,227
He's quite an exceptional man.
523
00:35:21,663 --> 00:35:23,324
[Car door closes]
524
00:35:23,832 --> 00:35:25,322
[Car starting]
525
00:35:30,072 --> 00:35:32,233
(secretary)
Mr. Fielder will see you
in a moment.
526
00:35:42,384 --> 00:35:45,251
Mr. Rockford,
I'm Stan Gorrick.
527
00:35:45,587 --> 00:35:48,078
Hi, Stan. How's your head?
528
00:35:49,124 --> 00:35:51,149
Mr. Fielder will see you now.
529
00:36:02,871 --> 00:36:04,566
[Printer clicking]
530
00:36:12,514 --> 00:36:14,209
(Leon)
Sit down, Mr. Rockford.
531
00:36:26,295 --> 00:36:30,322
If you're in the market
and want a tip,
buy North Eastern Life.
532
00:36:31,433 --> 00:36:33,367
It's going to climb the ladder.
533
00:36:34,569 --> 00:36:37,299
The markets that I go to...
534
00:36:37,372 --> 00:36:40,205
sell things by the pound
and wrap them in brown paper.
535
00:36:44,846 --> 00:36:46,609
What are you up to,
Mr. Rockford?
536
00:36:52,821 --> 00:36:55,119
What's going on in your head?
537
00:36:58,961 --> 00:37:00,258
(secretary)
Sir, it's Arnold Love.
538
00:37:00,329 --> 00:37:01,557
(Leon)
What is it, Arnold?
539
00:37:01,897 --> 00:37:04,866
(Arnold)
Mr. Fielder, I thought
I should let you know.
540
00:37:04,933 --> 00:37:08,130
There's a guy saying
some disquieting things
about FDI.
541
00:37:09,538 --> 00:37:12,405
What's that?
He wanted me to
look into your company.
542
00:37:12,474 --> 00:37:14,942
He said there was
something crooked going on.
543
00:37:15,477 --> 00:37:17,274
It's absurd, of course.
544
00:37:17,346 --> 00:37:20,611
But this is really
the wrong time for rumors
of any kind.
545
00:37:20,882 --> 00:37:24,909
You got a point there.
Who is he?
The guy's named Jim Rockford.
546
00:37:24,987 --> 00:37:26,215
That's the strange part.
547
00:37:26,288 --> 00:37:29,951
The same one who claimed
Alec Morris was kidnapped
from his office.
548
00:37:30,025 --> 00:37:31,788
He seems very determined.
549
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,986
With the North Eastern merger
coming, we don't need
any yahoos
550
00:37:35,063 --> 00:37:37,429
Kicking the slats
out of the stock.
551
00:37:37,499 --> 00:37:39,330
I figured you'd want to
know about it.
552
00:37:39,401 --> 00:37:41,164
Maybe you can
head this guy off.
553
00:37:41,236 --> 00:37:43,727
Thanks, Arnold.
I'll look into it.
554
00:37:44,072 --> 00:37:45,061
[Clicks]
555
00:37:45,173 --> 00:37:46,162
[Dial tone buzzing]
556
00:37:48,477 --> 00:37:50,945
Would you care to comment?
Yeah.
557
00:37:52,447 --> 00:37:56,679
Isn't it against the law
to give out inside information
like that...
558
00:37:56,752 --> 00:37:58,549
to guys like Love?
559
00:38:04,092 --> 00:38:05,684
Technically, I guess
you could say that,
560
00:38:05,761 --> 00:38:08,662
but this sort of thing
happens all the time.
561
00:38:10,332 --> 00:38:13,426
My associates tell me
that you've been here before.
562
00:38:14,469 --> 00:38:17,097
That you tried to see
Mr. Morris...
563
00:38:18,273 --> 00:38:20,173
you hit Mr. Gorrick here...
564
00:38:23,612 --> 00:38:27,104
and then when some of
our junior executives
tried to help you...
565
00:38:27,182 --> 00:38:30,379
find out what you wanted,
you ran away.
566
00:38:30,986 --> 00:38:33,250
Mr. Rockford, now that
I've met you...
567
00:38:33,321 --> 00:38:35,846
I can't imagine you
doing any of those things.
568
00:38:37,759 --> 00:38:39,556
You had to be there.
569
00:38:40,228 --> 00:38:44,164
Mr. Gorrick wants to
notify the police.
570
00:38:45,667 --> 00:38:48,966
It's a felony when you
go around hitting people.
571
00:38:49,971 --> 00:38:51,939
I've convinced him
not to do that.
572
00:38:52,741 --> 00:38:56,142
I personally would rather
hear from you...
573
00:38:57,712 --> 00:38:59,612
what you think is
going on here.
574
00:38:59,681 --> 00:39:01,979
I think you're a company
full of sweethearts
575
00:39:02,050 --> 00:39:03,915
and I wish you all the success
in the world.
576
00:39:03,985 --> 00:39:04,917
[Laughs]
577
00:39:04,986 --> 00:39:07,887
You see, Stan, I told you.
This is our kind of guy.
578
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:10,087
That's all, Stan.
579
00:39:11,793 --> 00:39:13,658
I like you, Rockford.
580
00:39:14,830 --> 00:39:17,492
I just want to tell you
one other thing
before you leave.
581
00:39:17,566 --> 00:39:20,626
Would you let go of my hand?
I think you're gonna
break my fingers.
582
00:39:20,702 --> 00:39:23,603
You see, you got to quit
messing around
with Fiscal Dynamics.
583
00:39:23,672 --> 00:39:25,799
And the reason you have to
do that is very simple.
584
00:39:25,874 --> 00:39:27,136
Will you let go, please?
585
00:39:27,209 --> 00:39:30,042
This company uses its stock
to acquire other companies.
586
00:39:30,112 --> 00:39:33,240
We trade stock. If you
spread rumors about FDI...
587
00:39:33,315 --> 00:39:35,146
and that causes our stock
to go down...
588
00:39:35,217 --> 00:39:37,742
take this North Eastern
acquisition for instance.
589
00:39:37,819 --> 00:39:41,152
If our stock goes down
two or three points...
590
00:39:41,223 --> 00:39:44,488
it could cost the company
in the neighborhood
of $10 million.
591
00:39:44,559 --> 00:39:48,154
Mr. Fielder, if you don't
let go of my hand...
592
00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:51,396
I'm gonna have to
take a shot at you.
593
00:39:52,534 --> 00:39:53,899
I'm sorry.
594
00:39:57,038 --> 00:40:00,201
You see, sometimes I forget
how powerful I am.
595
00:40:02,043 --> 00:40:06,309
Mr. Rockford, you're gonna
have to quit running around
and causing trouble.
596
00:40:06,448 --> 00:40:08,814
Because if you don't quit
spreading rumors about us...
597
00:40:08,884 --> 00:40:10,909
I will have to get
a hold of our lawyers.
598
00:40:10,986 --> 00:40:14,285
And we're gonna have to
institute a stock holder suit
against you.
599
00:40:14,756 --> 00:40:18,692
You could be sued
for the entire amount that
your rumors cost us.
600
00:40:19,661 --> 00:40:23,062
That could be millions.
That sounds very dangerous.
601
00:40:24,332 --> 00:40:27,495
You know, our stockholders
are just people like you.
602
00:40:27,969 --> 00:40:32,235
All kinds of people. They are
widows, they are plumbers,
school teachers.
603
00:40:33,475 --> 00:40:36,603
Now, when you hurt us,
you hurt them.
604
00:40:37,045 --> 00:40:39,309
And what I am interested
in doing, Mr. Rockford...
605
00:40:39,381 --> 00:40:41,713
is protecting their interest.
606
00:40:42,150 --> 00:40:43,640
Do you understand that?
607
00:40:43,718 --> 00:40:47,518
I really had no idea
it was that sensitive.
I really didn't.
608
00:40:47,589 --> 00:40:51,025
You mean to tell me
that I can ask
a few silly questions...
609
00:40:51,092 --> 00:40:54,493
and this great big company
could lose $10 million?
610
00:40:55,063 --> 00:40:58,226
Investors are very cautious.
It doesn't take much.
611
00:40:58,667 --> 00:41:01,693
Right now we're in the middle
of a big acquisition.
612
00:41:02,938 --> 00:41:07,637
Don't mess with us,
Mr. Rockford, unless you want
a pile of trouble.
613
00:41:07,909 --> 00:41:11,345
You really made your point,
Mr. Fielder.
614
00:41:11,613 --> 00:41:15,743
You can bet from here on
I'll stay out of your way.
615
00:41:16,685 --> 00:41:21,122
Say, would you apologize
to Mr. Gorrick for me?
616
00:41:22,057 --> 00:41:25,117
Now that I've met him,
he seems like a very nice man.
617
00:41:28,163 --> 00:41:31,860
Would you let go of my hand?
This is very childish.
618
00:41:32,701 --> 00:41:33,827
What?
619
00:41:34,970 --> 00:41:36,631
It is, isn't it?
620
00:41:42,244 --> 00:41:44,735
Can I expect no further
trouble from you,
Mr. Rockford?
621
00:41:44,813 --> 00:41:45,905
No further trouble.
622
00:41:45,981 --> 00:41:47,573
That's good, because
if there is...
623
00:41:47,649 --> 00:41:51,085
I'm simply going to
start legal proceedings
against you.
624
00:42:25,353 --> 00:42:26,945
What is it? What do you want?
625
00:42:27,022 --> 00:42:29,513
We got to talk to you,
Mr. Bovino.
About what?
626
00:42:30,058 --> 00:42:32,288
Some printing. We need
some printing done.
627
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,193
Come back in the morning.
I'm closed. I got to go home.
628
00:42:35,263 --> 00:42:37,993
We got to talk now.
Right now?
629
00:42:38,633 --> 00:42:41,466
That's right, Mr. Bovino,
right now.

You can't quit.
635
00:43:30,051 --> 00:43:32,747
They didn't threaten
to sue you for $10 million.
636
00:43:32,821 --> 00:43:36,689
Let me tell you something.
If I'm your agent
in this investigation...
637
00:43:36,758 --> 00:43:39,318
they're gonna find out
about it, they're bound to.
638
00:43:39,394 --> 00:43:41,419
And then they're gonna
name you in the law suit...
639
00:43:41,496 --> 00:43:45,227
and they're gonna take
your red racer down the drain
along with my father's truck.
640
00:43:45,300 --> 00:43:47,029
Not to mention everything else
we own.
641
00:43:47,102 --> 00:43:49,332
I don't care.
They killed my husband.
642
00:43:49,404 --> 00:43:52,339
I wouldn't doubt it
for a minute, but what am I
supposed to do?
643
00:43:52,407 --> 00:43:55,433
I don't have anymore
leads to follow.
Yes, you do.
644
00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:57,501
That's why I asked you
to come over.
645
00:44:04,452 --> 00:44:06,317
His name is Carl Bovino.
So?
646
00:44:07,856 --> 00:44:09,687
When I first
read that article...
647
00:44:09,758 --> 00:44:12,386
the name rang a bell,
but I couldn't quite place it.
648
00:44:12,961 --> 00:44:15,259
My husband told me that
Mr. Bovino was a printer...
649
00:44:15,330 --> 00:44:18,663
who had been contracted out
by FDI to do
the annual report.
650
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,792
Guy thought it was strange
they use a little printer
like Bovino...
651
00:44:21,870 --> 00:44:24,964
instead of
one of the big companies that
usually do annual reports.
652
00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:27,530
It says here his shop
was burglarized.
653
00:44:27,609 --> 00:44:30,510
He was working late,
surprised the thieves
and was shot.
654
00:44:30,578 --> 00:44:32,842
It just could have
happened that way.
655
00:44:33,415 --> 00:44:34,677
What is it with you?
656
00:44:34,749 --> 00:44:37,513
Do you want to go to jail
for false reporting
of a crime?
657
00:44:37,585 --> 00:44:40,349
I don't understand.
This may be a big break.
658
00:44:40,422 --> 00:44:43,323
I had a talk with my lawyer.
She says if I'm a good boy...
659
00:44:43,391 --> 00:44:46,690
I don't write on the walls
I might get out of this
in about four months.
660
00:44:46,761 --> 00:44:48,729
And I figured that's
four months well spent...
661
00:44:48,797 --> 00:44:51,493
if it keeps me
from being sued
for $10 million.
662
00:44:52,233 --> 00:44:54,701
You're turning into
a big disappointment for me.
663
00:44:54,769 --> 00:44:56,930
Don't you ever think
about anybody but yourself?
664
00:44:57,005 --> 00:45:00,099
No. Well, yeah,
sometimes at Christmas.
665
00:45:03,711 --> 00:45:04,735
[Sighs]
666
00:45:04,813 --> 00:45:08,715
All right, I do know a guy
down at the police department.
667
00:45:08,783 --> 00:45:10,273
I'll talk to him
about this printer.
668
00:45:10,351 --> 00:45:12,251
I'll find out
what the cops know.
669
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,550
They're just gonna tell you
it was a robbery.
670
00:45:14,622 --> 00:45:17,022
You've got to get in
to take a look at his files.
671
00:45:17,091 --> 00:45:18,922
Absolutely
out of the question.
672
00:45:18,993 --> 00:45:22,724
But don't you see?
He must have kept records
of his work for FDI.
673
00:45:22,797 --> 00:45:25,766
You've got to see
what kind of printing
he was doing for them.
674
00:45:25,834 --> 00:45:29,634
Tell you what. Why don't you
break into Bovino's shop
and look around?
675
00:45:29,737 --> 00:45:32,831
I'll go out to Riverside
this weekend and drive
your little red racer.
676
00:45:32,907 --> 00:45:35,501
But I'll compromise.
I'll go with you if you want.
677
00:45:35,643 --> 00:45:37,406
I'm not afraid
to break in there.
678
00:45:37,946 --> 00:45:40,039
What I meant was...
Chicken?
679
00:45:41,149 --> 00:45:43,413
Yeah, kind of.
680
00:46:05,940 --> 00:46:08,966
(Doris)
It's sort of scary, isn't it?
681
00:46:09,611 --> 00:46:10,771
Yeah.
682
00:46:12,780 --> 00:46:13,940
Yeah.
683
00:46:15,316 --> 00:46:19,013
Look, maybe you should
talk to your friend
on the police force.
684
00:46:19,087 --> 00:46:20,486
You were right about that.
685
00:46:20,555 --> 00:46:24,855
We should talk to him first,
and then maybe we wouldn't
have to break in here at all.
686
00:46:24,993 --> 00:46:28,156
You're really turning into
a big disappointment
for me, Doris.
687
00:46:28,263 --> 00:46:30,731
In your living room
you sounded so confident.
688
00:46:32,333 --> 00:46:34,164
Okay.
689
00:46:34,602 --> 00:46:36,763
You're gonna be the wheelman
on this caper.
690
00:46:36,838 --> 00:46:39,136
So get out
and get behind the wheel.
691
00:46:39,774 --> 00:46:41,332
[Alarm buzzing]
692
00:46:42,911 --> 00:46:44,469
[Keys rattling]
693
00:46:48,082 --> 00:46:49,344
Get out.
694
00:47:01,663 --> 00:47:05,292
Now if the police arrive
and you take off without me...
695
00:47:05,366 --> 00:47:07,732
I'll come after you
and strangle you.
696
00:47:08,202 --> 00:47:09,669
I won't leave you.
697
00:47:09,938 --> 00:47:11,997
Besides, why would
the cops come?
698
00:47:12,073 --> 00:47:14,667
The burglar alarm,
I'm gonna have to
dismantle it.
699
00:47:15,076 --> 00:47:17,237
You're pretty good at that?
700
00:47:17,412 --> 00:47:20,176
I don't know. I've never
done it before.
701
00:47:21,549 --> 00:47:23,107
[Keys rattling]
702
00:48:41,796 --> 00:48:43,093
[Creaks]
703
00:49:28,843 --> 00:49:30,470
[Alarm blaring]
704
00:49:38,386 --> 00:49:39,944
[Siren wailing]
705
00:49:44,058 --> 00:49:45,958
[Alarm continues blaring]
706
00:49:46,027 --> 00:49:47,722
(male announcer)
Please be with us next week
707
00:49:47,795 --> 00:49:50,423
for the conclusion
of Profit And Loss.
