00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:52,900
[Typewriters clacking]

180
00:08:52,966 --> 00:08:54,101
Hiya, Charlie.

181
00:08:54,167 --> 00:08:56,136
Vince...
Talk to farley, will you?

182
00:08:56,203 --> 00:08:57,070
I can't raise
that kind of dough.

183
00:08:57,137 --> 00:08:58,572
Okay, Marley.

184
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:01,008
Mr. Kane, there's a lady waiting
in your office.

185
00:09:05,646 --> 00:09:07,014
Joe: Hey, Vince!

186
00:09:08,916 --> 00:09:11,084
Come on in.

187
00:09:11,151 --> 00:09:13,020
Look who we got here...
Our old pal.

188
00:09:13,086 --> 00:09:15,288
Hiya, judge.
Hello, Vince, my boy.

189
00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:16,990
You know,
we were just talking.

190
00:09:17,057 --> 00:09:18,325
Did I ever tell you about
the time they had mccleary down

191
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,993
in the long beach clink?

192
00:09:20,060 --> 00:09:22,095
They wouldn't take the judge's
signature on the writ.

193
00:09:22,162 --> 00:09:23,731
[Laughter]

194
00:09:25,532 --> 00:09:28,836
So I took him down in person,
and the sheriff says,

195
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:30,804
"how do I know
he's a judge?"

196
00:09:30,871 --> 00:09:33,273
[Laughter]

197
00:09:33,340 --> 00:09:35,876
Oh, that reminds me...
I have your policy here.

198
00:09:35,943 --> 00:09:37,678
I'd like you to look at it,
your honor.

199
00:09:37,745 --> 00:09:39,512
I'll see you later.
I have a little business.

200
00:09:49,522 --> 00:09:50,891
Hello, Lucy.

201
00:09:50,958 --> 00:09:52,459
Hello, Vince.

202
00:09:52,525 --> 00:09:56,029
Mr. Kane, I'm Roger lennert,
Mrs. brackett's attorney.

203
00:09:56,096 --> 00:09:57,297
How are you?

204
00:09:57,364 --> 00:09:59,199
It's about Mrs. brackett's
husband...

205
00:09:59,266 --> 00:10:00,367
You don't know him,
do you?

206
00:10:00,433 --> 00:10:02,670
No.

207
00:10:02,736 --> 00:10:03,637
Not personally.

208
00:10:03,704 --> 00:10:05,138
I see.

209
00:10:05,205 --> 00:10:07,708
Well, uh, he was arrested
late yesterday afternoon.

210
00:10:07,775 --> 00:10:09,076
I know.

211
00:10:09,142 --> 00:10:11,178
Are you aware
of the circumstances, Mr. Kane?

212
00:10:11,244 --> 00:10:12,345
I think so.

213
00:10:12,412 --> 00:10:14,581
A year
and 11 months ago,

214
00:10:14,648 --> 00:10:18,819
Mr. brackett cashed $150,000
worth of securities for two men.

215
00:10:18,886 --> 00:10:20,220
Well, they turned out
to be stolen.

216
00:10:20,287 --> 00:10:21,655
Of course,
he was left holding the bag,

217
00:10:21,722 --> 00:10:23,156
and he skipped out.

218
00:10:23,223 --> 00:10:26,326
He felt he couldn't possibly
establish his innocence

219
00:10:26,393 --> 00:10:28,829
until he could find the men
he'd cashed them for.

220
00:10:28,896 --> 00:10:31,098
How long have you been married,
Mrs. brackett?

221
00:10:31,164 --> 00:10:33,633
Five years.

222
00:10:35,168 --> 00:10:36,569
Happily?

223
00:10:38,438 --> 00:10:39,873
Not necessarily.

224
00:10:39,940 --> 00:10:42,375
Oh?
Sorry to hear that.

225
00:10:42,442 --> 00:10:44,377
You're sure your husband
is innocent?

226
00:10:44,444 --> 00:10:46,013
Yes.

227
00:10:46,079 --> 00:10:48,415
And as a loving wife,
you'd like to have him out?

228
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:49,850
Uh, for some reason,

229
00:10:49,917 --> 00:10:51,852
the bail has been set
extraordinarily high.

230
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:53,721
It's $25,000.

231
00:10:53,787 --> 00:10:55,856
They really want to hold
your husband.

232
00:10:55,923 --> 00:10:58,425
I'm not too familiar
with this kind of case,

233
00:10:58,491 --> 00:11:00,928
but, uh, well,
I'm representing Mrs. brackett

234
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:03,463
because I was an old friend
of her father's.

235
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:04,765
And today is the day

236
00:11:04,832 --> 00:11:06,700
that Mrs. brackett
needs an old friend.

237
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,808
How much collateral
can you raise?

238
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:17,044
Only about $4,000.

239
00:11:17,110 --> 00:11:18,812
And you'd like me
to make up the difference

240
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:20,480
between
$4,000 and $25,000?

241
00:11:20,547 --> 00:11:22,415
I believe that Claude
is innocent,

242
00:11:22,482 --> 00:11:24,818
and the only way he can prove it
is to be free.

243
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:27,187
I admire
your loyalty.

244
00:11:28,889 --> 00:11:32,159
But it all adds up that someone
has to put out $21,000.

245
00:11:36,864 --> 00:11:38,331
I'm afraid
you need more

246
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,167
than an old friend,
Mrs. brackett.

247
00:11:43,470 --> 00:11:45,605
Thank you very much
for your kindness

248
00:11:45,672 --> 00:11:46,639
and your trouble.

249
00:11:46,706 --> 00:11:48,141
I'm sure we'll manage.

250
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:50,844
Mr. Kane, I, uh...
I don't understand.

251
00:11:50,911 --> 00:11:53,480
I-I was led to believe
that...

252
00:11:53,546 --> 00:11:55,816
So was I, Mr. lennert.

253
00:12:21,108 --> 00:12:23,110
If there's one thing
about ferrone,

254
00:12:23,176 --> 00:12:25,045
when he says he's gonna
get a guy, he gets him.

255
00:12:25,112 --> 00:12:27,881
Terror to the underworld
is ferrone.

256
00:12:27,948 --> 00:12:30,283
Well, there he is.
You know him, Vince?

257
00:12:30,350 --> 00:12:32,219
Vince: We're members
of the same lodge.

258
00:12:32,285 --> 00:12:34,054
Do you want me
to get him up?

259
00:12:34,121 --> 00:12:35,455
No.

260
00:12:35,522 --> 00:12:37,490
Don't you want to talk
to him?

261
00:12:37,557 --> 00:12:39,292
No.

262
00:12:39,359 --> 00:12:40,894
What lodge, Vince?

263
00:12:40,961 --> 00:12:42,830
The round Robin club.

264
00:12:42,896 --> 00:12:45,698
Joyous brotherhood.

265
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:47,700
Are you drunk, Vince?

266
00:12:47,767 --> 00:12:48,969
I wish I was.

267
00:12:49,036 --> 00:12:51,071
What do you want?

268
00:12:51,138 --> 00:12:53,540
Wild thoughts
come from nowhere, Gus.

269
00:12:53,606 --> 00:12:55,375
Be careful of them.

270
00:12:55,442 --> 00:12:57,978
[Chuckles]
I sure will.

271
00:12:58,045 --> 00:12:59,813
I just wanted
to take a look at him.

272
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:01,882
Naturally, you did,

273
00:13:01,949 --> 00:13:04,384
you being members
of the same lodge.

274
00:13:04,451 --> 00:13:06,053
Naturally.

275
00:13:20,834 --> 00:13:21,835
Lucy.

276
00:13:22,970 --> 00:13:24,237
Yes?

277
00:13:24,304 --> 00:13:28,075
It's me... Vince.

278
00:13:28,141 --> 00:13:30,277
Please go away,
Vince.

279
00:13:30,343 --> 00:13:32,112
Oh, Vince.

280
00:13:35,515 --> 00:13:37,784
Why did you bother
to leave your card?

281
00:13:37,851 --> 00:13:39,719
I don't like
unfinished stories,

282
00:13:39,786 --> 00:13:41,688
like the one that started
on a Tuesday night

283
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:43,556
a year and 11 months ago...

284
00:13:43,623 --> 00:13:45,025
When that dumb cop
waited for hours

285
00:13:45,092 --> 00:13:47,694
for a girl
who didn't show.

286
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,530
I've always wanted
to tell you, Vince.

287
00:13:50,597 --> 00:13:52,532
There was
so little time.

288
00:13:52,599 --> 00:13:54,902
Tell me now,
but make it good...

289
00:13:54,968 --> 00:13:56,870
Especially the part
about the husband.

290
00:13:56,937 --> 00:13:59,439
Don't say it like that.
Why don't you give me a chance?

291
00:13:59,506 --> 00:14:01,108
You know a better way
to say it?

292
00:14:01,174 --> 00:14:03,944
I can only say it
the way I know it.

293
00:14:04,011 --> 00:14:06,213
Claude and I
were separated.

294
00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:08,248
We'd even arranged
about a divorce.

295
00:14:08,315 --> 00:14:09,950
After that,
I was on a bus one night

296
00:14:10,017 --> 00:14:13,086
coming home from ventura.
The bus broke down.

297
00:14:13,153 --> 00:14:14,621
I walked
along the beach

298
00:14:14,687 --> 00:14:16,789
with a man
I'd never known before.

299
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:19,159
We hitched a ride together,
and we talked.

300
00:14:20,660 --> 00:14:22,629
What did we talk about,
Vince?

301
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,064
Not about Claude.

302
00:14:24,131 --> 00:14:27,000
I couldn't.
It was too soon. Besides...

303
00:14:27,067 --> 00:14:30,637
I'd never met anyone
like Vince Kane before.

304
00:14:30,703 --> 00:14:32,339
Vince...

305
00:14:32,405 --> 00:14:35,308
Can you understand
how a girl gets married?

306
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:37,844
Claude was the boy
who... who taught me to swim

307
00:14:37,911 --> 00:14:39,346
and took me to dances.

308
00:14:39,412 --> 00:14:40,513
He fell in love with me
and married me...

309
00:14:40,580 --> 00:14:42,849
As simple as that.

310
00:14:42,916 --> 00:14:46,286
That's supposed to solve
everything for a girl, isn't it?

311
00:14:46,353 --> 00:14:48,421
It's been known to.
Yes.

312
00:14:48,488 --> 00:14:51,424
It's supposed to
for me, too.

313
00:14:51,491 --> 00:14:54,261
I told myself
I was in love with him.

314
00:14:54,327 --> 00:14:55,963
Then one day...

315
00:14:56,029 --> 00:14:59,299
I discovered that I hadn't
married a man at all...

316
00:14:59,366 --> 00:15:01,701
But a boy who was terrified
when his father died

317
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,836
and left him
without a bank account.

318
00:15:03,903 --> 00:15:07,040
Very touching.
Yes, it was.

319
00:15:07,107 --> 00:15:10,143
A little more
than touching.

320
00:15:10,210 --> 00:15:12,112
The night you waited

321
00:15:12,179 --> 00:15:14,647
was the night that Claude
came back to me...

322
00:15:14,714 --> 00:15:16,816
Terribly scared
and drunk.

323
00:15:16,883 --> 00:15:19,519
He said he'd been framed.
The police were after him.

324
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:20,954
We had to get away
quickly.

325
00:15:21,021 --> 00:15:22,822
There was no time
for any explanations.

326
00:15:22,889 --> 00:15:25,092
What's the use
of it now?

327
00:15:26,859 --> 00:15:28,962
How 'bout his cut
of 150 grand?

328
00:15:29,029 --> 00:15:30,363
Did he explain that?

329
00:15:30,430 --> 00:15:32,565
You're wrong
about that, Vince.

330
00:15:32,632 --> 00:15:34,834
How did you live
the past two years?

331
00:15:34,901 --> 00:15:36,369
He borrowed the money.

332
00:15:36,436 --> 00:15:38,205
And you still think
he was innocent?

333
00:15:38,271 --> 00:15:39,806
I'm sure he was.

334
00:15:39,872 --> 00:15:41,608
But you loved me?

335
00:15:42,742 --> 00:15:44,044
Yes, Vince.

336
00:15:44,111 --> 00:15:46,846
And you'd have
married me?

337
00:15:46,913 --> 00:15:48,681
You didn't ask me.

338
00:15:48,748 --> 00:15:54,854
A detective's $340 a month
isn't much for a doll like you.

339
00:15:54,921 --> 00:15:56,990
You better go, Vince.

340
00:15:57,057 --> 00:15:59,326
I've heard it all
before...

341
00:15:59,392 --> 00:16:00,860
The boy story.

342
00:16:00,927 --> 00:16:02,662
I've heard it in two bedrooms
and cocktail bars

343
00:16:02,729 --> 00:16:04,564
when they were crying
in their beers,

344
00:16:04,631 --> 00:16:06,433
but not the way
you tell it.

345
00:16:06,499 --> 00:16:07,734
Will you please go?

346
00:16:16,976 --> 00:16:18,845
You said you had
$4,000.

347
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:22,749
Have Mr. lennert bring it over
to my office in the morning.

348
00:16:26,586 --> 00:16:29,022
You know...

349
00:16:29,089 --> 00:16:32,025
I'd give 5 million bucks
to believe you.

350
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,363
[Door opens, closes]

351
00:16:43,002 --> 00:16:45,238
Yes, I know.
I know.

352
00:16:45,305 --> 00:16:48,075
But it seems to us
that there ought to be a way

353
00:16:48,141 --> 00:16:49,409
for you to make them

707
00:32:18,637 --> 00:32:20,973
For a guy that has to stay up
every night

708
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:22,541
where the light
isn't good,

709
00:32:22,608 --> 00:32:24,476
you do a lot of reading,
Mac.

710
00:32:24,543 --> 00:32:26,545
[Chuckles]
Don't worry, Vince.

711
00:32:26,612 --> 00:32:27,879
I won't tell farley.

712
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:29,615
Thanks.

713
00:32:54,606 --> 00:32:56,442
Is he in?

714
00:32:56,508 --> 00:32:57,576
He's out of town.

715
00:32:57,643 --> 00:32:58,610
How far out of town?

716
00:32:58,677 --> 00:33:00,212
Legally, Mr. Kane,

717
00:33:00,279 --> 00:33:02,781
anything beyond the city limits
is out of town.

718
00:33:07,653 --> 00:33:09,621
How soon
do you expect him back?

719
00:33:09,688 --> 00:33:12,191
I think you can find him at home
around dinnertime

720
00:33:12,258 --> 00:33:12,858
if it's that important.

721
00:33:12,924 --> 00:33:14,993
Thanks.

722
00:33:30,842 --> 00:33:32,211
Got a light?

723
00:33:37,349 --> 00:33:39,718
You known Dawson long?

724
00:33:39,785 --> 00:33:41,420
I don't.

725
00:33:41,487 --> 00:33:43,555
I hear
he's a good mouthpiece.

726
00:33:43,622 --> 00:33:45,891
Yeah, well, some people
go through life like this...

727
00:33:45,957 --> 00:33:48,994
Full of yakety-yak.

728
00:33:49,061 --> 00:33:51,397
I'm Kane, bail bonds.

729
00:33:51,463 --> 00:33:54,733
Come in and see us sometime.
We're always available.

730
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,569
You guys operate
like Fuller brush men.

731
00:34:00,406 --> 00:34:03,075
After you.
Thanks.

732
00:34:20,526 --> 00:34:22,528
Claude?

733
00:35:03,135 --> 00:35:05,937
[Telephone ringing]

734
00:35:16,782 --> 00:35:18,384
Yes?

735
00:35:18,450 --> 00:35:21,720
Hello, Lucy.
How's Claude?

736
00:35:21,787 --> 00:35:23,722
Would you like
to come over

737
00:35:23,789 --> 00:35:25,724
and bathe
and shave him again

738
00:35:25,791 --> 00:35:27,426
and sober him up?

739
00:35:29,395 --> 00:35:32,998
Why, he... he's been drinking
since early this morning.

740
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:34,766
I put him to bed.

741
00:35:34,833 --> 00:35:37,203
Do you want
to talk to him,

742
00:35:37,269 --> 00:35:39,505
or will you take my word
for it?

743
00:35:39,571 --> 00:35:41,540
Lucy...

744
00:35:41,607 --> 00:35:43,509
Forget it.

745
00:35:52,284 --> 00:35:54,186
[Knock on door]

746
00:35:55,954 --> 00:35:57,189
Who is it?

747
00:35:57,256 --> 00:35:59,591
Vince: Lucy,
I want to talk to you.

748
00:36:02,093 --> 00:36:03,762
Just a minute.

749
00:36:09,835 --> 00:36:11,303
What do you want?

750
00:36:11,370 --> 00:36:14,306
Is he still asleep?
Yes.

751
00:36:14,373 --> 00:36:16,608
Let's take a look
at the sleeping beauty.

752
00:36:19,778 --> 00:36:22,214
Lucy: Vince...

753
00:36:22,281 --> 00:36:24,283
Don't wake him up.

754
00:36:31,690 --> 00:36:36,127
Let's go to dinner together,
just you and me.

755
00:36:36,194 --> 00:36:38,163
I got a better idea.

756
00:36:38,230 --> 00:36:40,966
Let's pack a couple of bags
and keep right on going.

757
00:36:41,032 --> 00:36:43,769
Just go?

758
00:36:43,835 --> 00:36:45,237
Why not?

759
00:36:45,304 --> 00:36:47,105
What about
your bond business?

760
00:36:47,172 --> 00:36:50,242
You said last night I wasn't
happy with what I'm doing,

761
00:36:50,309 --> 00:36:52,611
and maybe I'm not.

762
00:36:52,678 --> 00:36:54,413
Oh, Vince.

763
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,349
Can you pack a bag
without waking him up?

764
00:36:57,416 --> 00:36:59,518
Wait for me in the lobby.
I'll try.

765
00:37:01,553 --> 00:37:04,523
He is in there,
isn't he?

766
00:37:04,590 --> 00:37:06,057
Is he, Lucy?

767
00:37:08,026 --> 00:37:09,595
No.

768
00:37:09,661 --> 00:37:13,465
Vince, I love you more
than anything else in the world.

769
00:37:13,532 --> 00:37:16,167
What do you think I am that
you can cut your initials into

770
00:37:16,234 --> 00:37:17,803
any time you want?

771
00:37:17,869 --> 00:37:20,272
10 minutes after brackett left
this place with a suitcase,

772
00:37:20,339 --> 00:37:21,473
I had men looking for him.

773
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:23,442
And of course
you'd go away with me.

774
00:37:23,509 --> 00:37:25,176
That'd give him
time enough,

775
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,279
and then you'd run
and meet him.

776
00:37:27,346 --> 00:37:28,880
Where?

777
00:37:28,947 --> 00:37:30,649
Where?!
I don't know!

778
00:37:30,716 --> 00:37:32,217
He only left a note.

779
00:37:32,284 --> 00:37:34,320
Said he was getting out
while he could.

780
00:37:34,386 --> 00:37:36,288
He pleaded for time.
I owed him that.

781
00:37:36,355 --> 00:37:37,723
What else could I do,
Vince?

782
00:37:37,789 --> 00:37:39,458
Nice little
blackmailing idea.

783
00:37:39,525 --> 00:37:42,828
I can't grab him because I'm
supposed to be your boyfriend,

784
00:37:42,894 --> 00:37:45,731
and we'd prove it
by running away together.

785
00:37:45,797 --> 00:37:48,233
I meant every word
I said to you...

786
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:49,568
Everything
I've ever said,

787
00:37:49,635 --> 00:37:53,271
except this one time I lied...
The only time.

788
00:37:55,541 --> 00:37:57,175
Forget it, babe.

789
00:37:57,242 --> 00:38:00,111
It's all burned out
of me.

790
00:38:07,553 --> 00:38:08,820
[Door closes]

791
00:38:08,887 --> 00:38:10,221
[Footsteps approach]

792
00:38:12,257 --> 00:38:13,992
Just got your call
at the club.

793
00:38:14,059 --> 00:38:15,427
I was right in the middle

794
00:38:15,494 --> 00:38:17,062
of the best steak
I've had in years.

795
00:38:17,128 --> 00:38:18,497
What's the score?

796
00:38:18,564 --> 00:38:21,500
Brackett took a powder.
I know it.

797
00:38:21,567 --> 00:38:24,336
You brought me down here
for that?

798
00:38:24,403 --> 00:38:26,004
What about our 9 grand?

799
00:38:26,071 --> 00:38:28,740
It's all in the business...
Win 9, lose 9.

800
00:38:28,807 --> 00:38:30,442
Occupational hazard?

801
00:38:30,509 --> 00:38:33,712
Yeah. Occupa...
Yeah, that's it, Vince.

802
00:38:33,779 --> 00:38:35,414
I know guys
that would die laughing

803
00:38:35,481 --> 00:38:36,915
over you losing
a half a buck.

804
00:38:36,982 --> 00:38:38,384
Forget it.

805
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:40,586
And tonight $9,000
doesn't mean a thing to you?

806
00:38:40,652 --> 00:38:43,254
We've had a good year.
Write it off the income tax.

807
00:38:43,321 --> 00:38:45,190
Part of the reputation
of this office

808
00:38:45,256 --> 00:38:46,858
is we never get beat
for a bond.

809
00:38:46,925 --> 00:38:49,094
Since when
have we changed?

810
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,128
We haven't.

811
00:38:52,464 --> 00:38:55,467
I figure you've got a personal
interest in this thing.

812
00:38:55,534 --> 00:38:57,403
Kind of threw you
off balance.

813
00:38:57,469 --> 00:38:59,971
So, forget it.

814
00:39:00,038 --> 00:39:02,808
What if we do take the rap
for 9 g's?

815
00:39:02,874 --> 00:39:04,376
I'm not squawkin'.

816
00:39:04,443 --> 00:39:06,545
You're still my partner,
good or bad,

817
00:39:06,612 --> 00:39:08,747
so that's the way
it is.

818
00:39:08,814 --> 00:39:12,818
You got your feet wet, okay.
Forget it.

819
00:39:12,884 --> 00:39:15,086
I'll take over.

820
00:39:15,153 --> 00:39:17,989
I don't like it
when you're noble, Joe.

821
00:39:18,056 --> 00:39:19,891
On you,
it doesn't fit.

822
00:39:20,959 --> 00:39:22,761
What do you know?

823
00:39:22,828 --> 00:39:25,464
If I went around telling people
everything I knew,

824
00:39:25,531 --> 00:39:27,999
how long do you think we'd be
in the bond business?

825
00:39:28,066 --> 00:39:30,969
I'm still
the senior partner.

826
00:39:31,036 --> 00:39:34,973
80% of what I say goes.
And I say drop it.

827
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,576
What's the beef?

828
00:39:37,643 --> 00:39:40,345
Farley's been throwing
his money around again.

829
00:39:40,412 --> 00:39:41,647
How's brackett?

830
00:39:43,649 --> 00:39:44,950
What do you want, Nick?

831
00:39:45,016 --> 00:39:47,653
I want you to say
if you know where he is.

832
00:39:51,923 --> 00:39:54,259
I'm brackett's bondsman.

833
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:56,361
I'm the only one
responsible for him.

834
00:39:56,428 --> 00:39:58,997
When the time comes, I'll see
that he shows at the hearing.

835
00:39:59,064 --> 00:40:01,266
You know where the dame is,
all right,

836
00:40:01,332 --> 00:40:03,635
but you won't say
where brackett is.

837
00:40:03,702 --> 00:40:04,936
I know where he is.

838
00:40:05,003 --> 00:40:06,472
Fine.
Then you watch him for me.

839
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:07,639
We will.

840
00:40:07,706 --> 00:40:09,040
Don't you want to see him,
Vince?

841
00:40:09,107 --> 00:40:10,876
Why?

842
00:40:10,942 --> 00:40:12,377
I think you'd better.

843
00:40:21,587 --> 00:40:24,322
Let's leave it
the way it was, okay, Vince?

844
00:40:24,389 --> 00:40:27,593
Take it easy.
It's better that way.

845
00:40:36,134 --> 00:40:37,636
How did he get it?

846
00:40:37,703 --> 00:40:39,304
Two .32 slugs
in the chest

847
00:40:39,370 --> 00:40:41,707
and thrown from a car
up in the hills.

848
00:40:41,773 --> 00:40:42,874
What time was it?

849
00:40:42,941 --> 00:40:44,710
Read about it
in the papers, Vince.

850
00:40:44,776 --> 00:40:46,578
If you'd forgotten your yen
for his dame

851
00:40:46,645 --> 00:40:48,079
and left him in the can,

852
00:40:48,146 --> 00:40:50,549
he'd be talking plenty now,
and he wouldn't be dead.

853
00:40:50,616 --> 00:40:52,684
Now we have this,
such as it is.

854
00:40:52,751 --> 00:40:54,853
You'll get
your bond dough back.

855
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,222
The dame
is without a husband,

856
00:40:57,288 --> 00:40:59,991
which is what you probably
wanted in the first place.

857
00:41:10,068 --> 00:41:11,770
I have an office
for business.

858
00:41:11,837 --> 00:41:13,772
If it's anything important,
I'll discuss it with you there.

859
00:41:13,839 --> 00:41:16,407
We'll discuss it
right here.

860
00:41:16,474 --> 00:41:18,009
Very well, Mr. Kane.

861
00:41:18,076 --> 00:41:20,879
I'll give you five minutes,
but I won't be intimidated.

862
00:41:20,946 --> 00:41:23,849
How is it you represent people
who never heard of you?

863
00:41:23,915 --> 00:41:25,951
So far, you're guilty
of trespassing

864
00:41:26,017 --> 00:41:27,218
and assault and battery.

865
00:41:27,285 --> 00:41:29,054
Sue me later
but talk now.

866
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,122
A man I'd never
put eyes on before

867
00:41:31,189 --> 00:41:33,124
came to me
and made the deal.

868
00:41:33,191 --> 00:41:35,894
There was to be no questions,
no answers.

869
00:41:35,961 --> 00:41:38,730
He gave me the money
I gave you, plus my fee.

870
00:41:38,797 --> 00:41:41,633
The next morning,
he called me at the office...

871
00:41:41,700 --> 00:41:43,702
Got a report and hung up.

872
00:41:43,769 --> 00:41:45,036
That's all I know.

873
00:41:45,103 --> 00:41:46,805
Ever see him again?
No.

874
00:41:46,872 --> 00:41:48,139
What did he call
himself?

875
00:41:48,206 --> 00:41:51,109
Max, uh... Gibney.

876
00:41:51,176 --> 00:41:53,444
What did he look like?

877
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:57,115
Oh, 5'10",
light hair, about 35.

878
00:41:57,182 --> 00:41:59,050
Did he give you
any address?

879
00:41:59,117 --> 00:42:01,252
The hotel wadsworth.

880
00:42:01,319 --> 00:42:03,589
How 'bout my suit
for assault and battery?

881
00:42:03,655 --> 00:42:05,123

Yes. But he didn't leave
any forwarding address.

884
00:42:14,232 --> 00:42:16,568
And he looked like any one
of 10,000?

moved around me, like,

he was guilty as could be?

Late last night, I guess,

Did you pick up Lucy?

1231

No, but I think I could.
Why?

1232
01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:54,738
Why don't you get it through
that thick head of yours

1233

that you're wrong
about dames?

1234

I'll answer that one
when we get there.

That's doggone nice
of you, Vince.

1240

I know who got him.

1241
01:03:15,259 --> 01:03:16,994
How'd you find out?

1242
01:03:17,061 --> 01:03:19,163
By deduction,
you might say.

1243
01:03:19,229 --> 01:03:22,232
You've got a walloping
good case there, vin.

No.

for his clients.

I might do that, too.

In just 45 minutes,
I'll be up in my apartment.

Farley pays me $25,000
for my end of the business.

1258

McKay gives me $50,000
as a payoff.

1259
01:04:04,608 --> 01:04:07,277
And I'm supposed to grab my hat
and walk away.

Then I pick you up
for extortion.

1261

Maybe I figured I'd keep
the dough for a while.

1262

Maybe I didn't.
What's that to you?

What have you got?
What kind of proof?

1264
01:04:17,787 --> 01:04:19,389
There's a joke.

1265

but not enough for you.

how much I haven't got.

You lock him up now,

1268
01:04:25,829 --> 01:04:28,265
farley would have him out
before you'd get the gate shut.

1269

Now go into your finish.

1270

Okay, pighead.

What did you expect me
to believe?

playing for the past year or so?

than that.

can't he?

following you?

to run away.

from something, aren't you?

"from Kane"?

you'll lock the door

1398
01:11:50,674 --> 01:11:53,577
Farley goes along,
or I don't play.

1399
01:11:56,780 --> 01:11:58,948
[Dialing]

1400
01:12:03,687 --> 01:12:05,555
Hello, Max.
It's Jerry.

1401
01:12:05,622 --> 01:12:07,557
Listen, I need your help.

1402
01:12:07,624 --> 01:12:09,693
[Speaking indistinctly]

1403
01:12:38,622 --> 01:12:39,956
[Door closes]

1404
01:12:50,967 --> 01:12:52,168
What are they driving?

1405
01:12:52,235 --> 01:12:54,237
Find out,
but don't let them see you.

1406
01:12:54,303 --> 01:12:56,305
And meet me down in front
in five minutes.

1407
01:13:14,257 --> 01:13:16,092
[Engine turns over]

1408
01:13:29,205 --> 01:13:30,540
[Tires screech]

1409
01:13:30,607 --> 01:13:32,308
They went down that street
in a light gray sedan.

1410
01:13:32,375 --> 01:13:34,110
I think it was a Cadillac.
You'd better stay here.

1411
01:13:34,177 --> 01:13:36,245
No, let me go.
I know the car.

1412
01:13:41,084 --> 01:13:43,052
Right.
Alert Hollywood cars.

1413
01:13:43,119 --> 01:13:44,721
Light gray sedan,
possibly Cadillac.

1414
01:13:44,788 --> 01:13:46,289
Four men.

1415
01:13:46,355 --> 01:13:49,025
Vicinity Melrose and vine.
Follow and report back.

1416
01:13:49,092 --> 01:13:51,394
Car 42 signing off.
K.Q.B.B.

1417
01:13:51,461 --> 01:13:52,796
Oh,
Vince said something

1418
01:13:52,862 --> 01:13:54,464
about they're taking him
up into the hills.

1419
01:13:54,531 --> 01:13:55,632
Cut up to Franklin.

1420
01:14:08,712 --> 01:14:10,980
Here. Keep me covered.

1421
01:14:11,047 --> 01:14:12,616
Hello, farley.

1422
01:14:14,484 --> 01:14:16,419
Hi, wise guy.

1423
01:14:16,486 --> 01:14:18,321
This is a pleasure.

1424
01:14:19,889 --> 01:14:22,391
Think you're pretty smart,
don't you, Kane?

1425
01:14:22,458 --> 01:14:24,661
Smarter
than you are, Max.

1426
01:14:24,728 --> 01:14:26,429
A cop
that got reformed.

1427
01:14:26,496 --> 01:14:28,097
[Chuckles]

1428
01:14:28,164 --> 01:14:30,266
What cop
ever reformed?

1429
01:14:30,333 --> 01:14:33,937
I never thought I'd get a chance
to knock off another one.

1430
01:14:34,003 --> 01:14:36,673
You'll never play detective
again, Kane,

1431
01:14:36,740 --> 01:14:39,342
after I give you
the treatment... never.

1432
01:14:39,408 --> 01:14:41,210
Just like
Benny kafka.

1433
01:14:41,277 --> 01:14:44,347
Turn on Bronson, farley,
and go up in the canyon.

1434
01:14:59,663 --> 01:15:01,464
[Engine revs]

1435
01:15:05,501 --> 01:15:08,772
Woman:
Calling car 42. Car 4-2.

1436
01:15:08,838 --> 01:15:10,540
Gray Cadillac sedan
reported

1437
01:15:10,607 --> 01:15:12,976
turning north on Bronson
from Franklin.

1438
01:15:13,042 --> 01:15:14,043
Car 1-2-0 following.

1439
01:15:14,110 --> 01:15:15,812
Don't worry about him.

1440
01:15:15,879 --> 01:15:19,382
He used to take worse chances
than this for $340 a month.

1441
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:53,583
[Chuckles]

1442
01:15:53,650 --> 01:15:54,851
Cut the laughing.

1443
01:15:54,918 --> 01:15:56,920
You don't know
how funny it is.

1444
01:15:56,986 --> 01:15:58,988
You got yourself
built up fine.

1445
01:15:59,055 --> 01:16:00,790
But I got sad news
for you.

1446
01:16:00,857 --> 01:16:02,358
I don't want
no news.

1447
01:16:02,425 --> 01:16:03,927
I don't want nothing
from you.

1448
01:16:03,993 --> 01:16:06,129
I just want to
knock you off.

1449
01:16:06,195 --> 01:16:08,965
If anybody's gonna be
knocked off, Max, it's you.

1450
01:16:09,032 --> 01:16:10,667
That's part of my deal
with McKay.

1451
01:16:10,734 --> 01:16:12,969
What's he
beating his gums about?

1452
01:16:13,036 --> 01:16:14,137
What's he saying?

1453
01:16:14,203 --> 01:16:16,139
Don't let him
work on you, Max.

1454
01:16:16,205 --> 01:16:17,306
You got the gun.
Shut me up.

1455
01:16:17,373 --> 01:16:18,942
Shut your face, Kane.

1456
01:16:19,008 --> 01:16:22,311
You see? He can't.

1457
01:16:22,378 --> 01:16:23,780
You're the fall guy
in this, Max.

1458
01:16:23,847 --> 01:16:25,481
I got him nailed.

1459
01:16:25,548 --> 01:16:28,117
If anything happens to me,
he'll be in the can in an hour.

1460
01:16:28,184 --> 01:16:29,385
Stop the car, farley.

1461
01:16:29,452 --> 01:16:31,454
I'll show you
what can happen to you.

1462
01:16:33,122 --> 01:16:34,490
[Gunshot]

1463
01:16:34,557 --> 01:16:36,926
[Gunshot]

1464
01:16:39,195 --> 01:16:41,097
[Gunshot]

1465
01:16:42,198 --> 01:16:43,199
[Gunshot]

1466
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,621
[Gunshot]

1467
01:17:12,561 --> 01:17:15,464
[Sirens wailing]

1468
01:17:28,511 --> 01:17:30,179
Here he is.
Who?

1469
01:17:30,246 --> 01:17:31,547
Collins.

1470
01:17:31,614 --> 01:17:32,882
He killed brackett
and Benny.

1471
01:17:32,949 --> 01:17:34,083
And he nearly got me.

1472
01:17:34,150 --> 01:17:36,419
Here.
You better take his gun.

1473
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:46,395
Come on, Vince.
I'll take you both home.

1474
01:17:46,462 --> 01:17:49,799
Looks like the police department
gets a good cop back.

1475
01:18:02,545 --> 01:18:04,447
You don't get
this cop back.

1476
01:18:04,513 --> 01:18:06,716
He just bought
30% of the bond business.

1477
01:18:11,054 --> 01:18:13,422
Hey,
fix him up, Harry.

1478
01:18:13,489 --> 01:18:15,558
He got nicked
in the arm there.

1479
01:18:15,624 --> 01:18:18,327
Here, let me.
I'll... I'll take that.

1480
01:18:20,329 --> 01:18:22,932
Serves me right
for trying to be honest.

1481
01:18:22,999 --> 01:18:25,668
So I wind up
with a hole in my arm.

1482
01:18:28,571 --> 01:18:30,606
50 g's in there
belongs to McKay.

1483
01:18:30,673 --> 01:18:31,941
Keep it on tap.

1484
01:18:32,008 --> 01:18:34,177
He'll need it
when we bail him out.

1485
01:18:34,243 --> 01:18:36,412
Aah.

1486
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:38,314
Look at that.

1487
01:18:38,381 --> 01:18:39,816
Now she'll marry him,

1488
01:18:39,883 --> 01:18:41,818
and then she'll probably
leave him.

1489
01:18:41,885 --> 01:18:43,652
Serves him right
for being a bondsman.

1490
01:18:43,719 --> 01:18:44,687
Ow!
