Tonight on Spence of Her Hire. Where's your money?

What's the retired captain with that kind of money on the street?

Life breaks where no sunshine or the...

Never saw the guy gamble a day in his life and suddenly he's nick the Greek.

Your friend doesn't take any of that bread to the bookmakers are the lone shots.

No! Never enough lies. I know the whole story. You really turn me in, Spencer.

Are you gonna turn me into?

I had some little devil.

people come out.

Huh? Where is your money? Huh? Take it. Where's your money. What's in the bag?

What's the bag, huh? Oh, that just happened. What's going on?

Oh, you're just going out a little tighter. From that.

Let's just take a look at this.

I shouldn't have lied to his daddy.

See?

Please help me!

We all have heroes. Mine was Arthur Dmitrius Reynolds. Was is will be.

I hadn't seen Arthur for over a year, but I would have

given my right arm to have been with him this morning.

The least I could do was offer him a ride home from the hospital.

Right.

Yeah, right. I'll get on it right away.

Spencer, I'm glad you're here. I'm going to take off. Oh, is he?

He's going to make it. Docs with him now.

Right now he's a lot of different colors mostly black and blue. What happened?

He hit by some muggers, real beauties. He did a job on him.

Did he get a look at him? No, not really. We just got a general description.

I'm going to bring him in later and have

him look over the muggshafts when he's feeling up to it. Where is he?

He's right down there. Hey, Spencer.

before you're going to something you don't know.

We had some witnesses to the attack. They set a pouch author was carrying,

was loaded with money, thousands of dollars. What are you saying?

You tell me, what's the retired captain with that kind of money out in the street?

Well, what did you ask him? I already did. His story ate that great.

So the intern comes up with a meeting and says,

how many holes have we got to saw up?

You really felt that he's asking me?

So I say to him, bring me a glass of water, Charlie,

and we'll see how many weeks I spring. LAUGHTER OK, Mr. Reynolds, now easy.

OK. Easy now, that's it. OK.

And then the nurse came over to be inside.

Light breaks where no sunshine.

Where no sea runs the waters of the hearts pushing the tide.

Are you sure you're all right? I would, wouldn't I be, huh?

Doctor said you should stay at least tonight. Are they all we see that?

That's because they got fancy boats and homes on the Cape to pay for.

by the U-Lad.

It's all bouncing on the way in.

Ah, that man has no human face installed.

Tell that it's sculpted well, those passions red.

Ah, you remember, yeah, Shelley, ah? I had a good teacher. Ah, it's been too long.

Yeah. Much too long? Nothing's the same anymore.

It's a poor neighborhood full of ghosts. Since Maggie died.

Ah, I thought I'd lose the house. Thank God for insurance.

And the kindness of strangers. Well, I think they've got a lot of friends, you know?

I don't know if I need them.

I can't take care of myself anymore. And that could happen to anybody.

No, I'm not a sponsor. Only to an old bird who's gone soft and careless

in old age. But the man I was.

Here he is.

I have a small announcement. Do the circumstances beyond my control.

The joyful wake we all expected has been temporarily postponed.

But I'll accept your kind donations just the same.

O'TIMATHY, if all there for my funeral,

I'd rather have you sing a song when the time comes.

If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'll just freshen up. You remember Spencer here?

My former partner. I'm fine.

What did Frank Bells tell you?

The points got away with the bundle. Oh, they did that.

How much? 8,000.

I guess you know the next question.

I shouldn't have talked to you asking.

The ponies laughed, the ponies. There was an arrow for eleven days,

winning place, winning place. Now they show bet in the car.

Then somebody up there pulled the rug.

Any nag I put my money on will share to contract

some great parallel to disease on the back stretch.

So I use my god-given Irish brains and threw good money after bad.

Eight thousand later I had the boys with a broken nose as looking at me real mean.

I was on my way to paying them off here but those two in the park had another idea.

So you're still in the hallway big one? On the mark.

I'll cut you a bank check tomorrow. Yeah. It's not charity or a good look.

You're crazy. I'm not taking any money.

And I'm going to give you five years to pay it back. It's no charity.

If you don't pay it, I'm coming out.

I'm NOT taking your money besides I don't need it.

Would you get a tree of the stuff, girls? I got more than a tree.

I got a business since one do you have a business? Oh, since I last saw you?

Almost a year ago, come December.

What kind of business? Security.

Watchmen in factories and supermarkets, health clubs.

I tell you, Spencer, if I know not easy, it is to make money.

I have retired years ago.

Are there been hiding? So the owner said to bring the barwisher,

not the important stone. Now there's goodness in your heart or rock.

Top shelf of the kitchen pantry, not too high.

See what I see?

The enemy faints not. You know, I failed. You want a bet? I did.

That's why they're here.

Joe, I'm curious how to sign the cash register. Hey, come on, let's go.

Let's go, come out.

I think you're doing. This is part of our personal family service.

Checking valuables.

Turn around, basically.

We got here.

a new small corporation.

We're gonna use this to get the money out of him.

We came here to see how he was doing, but he's doing no fine.

And he's going to pay up eventually.

Meanwhile, one of the two of you going to Pay respects. Do it politely.

You have got to be crazy. I've been accused of that from time to time.

From now on, you've got any business with Arthur. I'm right behind you.

You'll start to hear what happened.

I'm sure.

What are you doing?

You mean if I don't jump you, you get to jump me?

Those are the rolls, lady. I don't make them up. I just live by them.

Hmm.

doesn't figure.

Never saw the guy gamble of day in his life and suddenly he's nick the Greek.

While he's getting older, he lives alone.

Maybe he just started playing out of boredom.

Even if I buy that, he doesn't suddenly become stupid. He knows the rules.

The boys got your name on a marker. You don't go to them. They come to you.

Well, you said he was a charmer. Maybe he thought he'd talk them out of it.

It's just not like him.

to walk around with a bundle of cash on arm.

You know your under surveillance?

about four foot nine, dark hair, heavy grey sweater, blue jeans.

All of 13 years old? Donald Watson.

You a client? Mm-hmm.

This father asked me to see him after his mom

died in a car accident a few months ago.

since the funeral he started running away. Mm-hmm.

Never far and not for long, but often. Usually ends up camped out on my doorstep.

Here's the substitute. Mm-hm.

when he's lonely on the mother he wants back.

Trouble is, his dad is really his stepfather.

We're married for less than a year before the accident.

They haven't had a chance to connect up.

Bye.

I don't feel I've made much progress with them either.

So you know, maybe I better call Mr. Watson, tell him everything's okay.

Although it seems to cope with everything, okay?

It's amazing how well some people can deal with their problems.

Hello, could I speak to Mr. Watson? It's Susan Silverman.

and rather than use him cooperation.

Your brother should be here

by now. Relax.

How long does it take to steal some wheels? Hey, Joey knows what he's doing, okay?

another hour and we'll be out of this burg. Start enjoying the money.

worrying about where it comes from. Yeah, yeah. I know where it came from.

There's only one type of person that's got that type of money. No! No!

Amateurs.

Punx-like fierce, making the streets unsafe nowadays.

Get out of here.

music

I'm not supposed to say anything Spencer,

but they've got a couple of stiffs down here.

And I think they might be tied to

Arthur. Who's the DA? Trench.

Solomon Trench, are you taking easy on this guy Spencer?

He's likely to eat you for lunch. You ready now? Yeah.

Yes sir.

game.

Is Spencer? Damn, there go all those aliases I thought up on the way over.

There you are, comic. Or did you weren't, Mr. Drench?

Look, before we do something stupid, we'll like to get to know each other better.

You want to tell me what it is all about?

What do you know about Arthur Reynolds? He's a friend. Friend?

Want me to explain that word to you? Don't strain your intellect.

What I'm interested in is what kind of dirty business your friend is into.

You seem to know more about it than I do.

And I'm going to share what I know with you, Spencer,

just because we got off to such a great start. Your friend Arthur is satchel.

You figure that's the only one like that on the planet?

Arthur Reynolds, Monogambe Ring.

And his watch inscribed from the boys of the four six precinct,

no doubt ripped off with the satchel. Only then it had money in it.

Bundles of it, according to witnesses, that's what the punks took from Arthur.

And that's where somebody took back from the punts.

Somebody with muscle and a 12-gauge shotgun. We're talking big leagues, Spencer.

Who's your friend tied in with? Who's he carrying money for? Why don't you ask?

Jim, I did, and I got a load of bull. Bottom line is, outside of his pension,

he's got no visible source of income. He's got a business. I said visible.

And so I'm asking you, Spencer, in a very nice way.

And if you hold something back, I'm

going to nail you to the wall for obstruction of justice.

Might even send that PI license you got out of a gumball machine up in smoke.

How's that, Gravian? You always sugarcoat it like that?

Yeah, I heard your teeth grindin' for the last three miles.

Anybody out of the house? We ever heard of an assistant DA named Solomon Trunch.

Damn, now you don't get my teeth grinded. Things are just carrying mob money.

What do you think? Well, I dig in that case.

Why are you out jogging instead of wreaking your well-known vincers

on that street meter? I dropped up a lot. So it beat me to it.

They're packed and nice. Now the picks your D820 and your brain becomes clearer.

Yeah, the trenches are looking to make a headline.

He's not going to do it at Earth as expensive. I see a job on the horizon.

Yeah, I could use some help.

Got to find out who's holding the marker at Earth there. Anything else?

You know, I've never heard of a company called

the Amgol Museum Corporation, negative.

They may hold a marker on Arthur. I looked everywhere, I can't find him.

They've got to be someplace. Over the rainbow!

Bye, Billy!

That's good to see you.

Oh, nothing's much changed. People get older, die. But it's true, you thought.

When you really try to think about such things.

Ah, you didn't even tell me. Remember to stick up here? My first day on the job?

Clever boys, lighting a gasoline bomb to create a diversion.

When we got them all surrounded. You had them surrounded, saved my hide.

I learned to learn, learned to learned. Ignorance like a fire dustbird.

Ah, that's hope for you. The Reynolds. Oh, how's it, Larry?

You coming to celebrate tonight? Oh, not tonight.

And with a friend, we've got a lot to talk about. All right, Mr. R. How you feeling?

Body of steel, Larry. Body of Steel. Are you taking care?

Next month's the goal area was arrested for sharp lifting. Yeah.

The record exposes by the court because of his age.

Now he's captain of a boxing team. Boy, he's going to make it. How about you?

You heard when I told the boy I feel great except for the

touch of the first.

I'm going to have a little bit more.

The Lord, everything are alive in a place called House of May.

One of his father's only son is my third, I enjoy him.

Do they live their lives?

That's your turn! No!

If I drink for the entire house, including me,

then I'll buy drinks for the house, because I can't sing. I'll sing!

He robbed the rich, he helped the poor.

His brother wore a dress, not an art at all, Matt.

I'll do better next time. No, no, no. And so will I.

How is it good to see you? At least the lyric he remembered was an over one.

Rather rich of the poor.

I tell something about the people whose heroes are outlaws or poets.

Both fighting for justice. One with a pen, the other... Anyway, they can.

It's still chasing those windmills, huh? Only windmils to heathens.

You used to see the giants. Well, when I was younger. Yeah.

Hey, old work! You wouldn't believe us, dry! Come on up. No, no, no.

I'll put that away. Talk that away, I took you a hundred times. I don't need it.

That's right, you're rolling in. Forget it. That's the rolling. TURROLING!

Much better than being rolled out.

others.

about your security company. What

about it?

Until you get those bandages off once you let me come out.

No, that's good of you, Smok. I'd expect no less, but I don't need your help.

I've got to stop to take care of things for me now.

Thanks, just the same.

We had some good times didn't we?

We still do. But nothing's changed. Oh, everything's changed!

I mean, life's like that. You'll see. I'll see you.

Old age. It's a chill wind when you're not prepared.

Pardon me. Grab when it takes and pay the man. I go visit the Johnny Boy.

After putting Arthur to bed, I found an all night diner for some ham and eggs,

and thoughts of guilt for not trusting a friend.

Then I saw that 61 Quincy Road was nothing but a boarded up building.

And it only made it all the more painful.

Somebody once said that the cruelest lie is often told in silence.

In my case, it was told out loud by a friend.

makes you feel cheated. You want

to start breaking up the joint. Most of all you

want to wake up and find it all never happened.

Time for weather report, Bay. There's a bad storm coming.

But you look like you know that already.

Don't go out of your way, and cheer me up. Try this.

Your friend done taking the bread to the bookmakers or the loan sharks.

Is there more? I went over to Rainbow Babe all the way

to the Emerald City and guess who the wizard is, Bonnie Leopold.

Man keeps his dope from prostitution business going

where everybody else seems to be shutting down.

I wonder as I wonder. They are.

Your friend shows up at Leopold's office first

to every month always leaves with a canvas bag.

Where it is that tomorrow he's going to be there to

take the bread and Leopould took back from the pizzo.

I can't believe it. But you know it's true. Frame!

They say the truth is always there in the unconscious mind.

If you're willing to take a peek, I have been doing my best to avoid it. Hey.

What's with the boy?

You know that kid? Oh, sort of. Yeah.

The true officer brought him in when he wouldn't give his name.

Quote him hitchhiking on Starrow Drive, he almost got run over.

You call soon? Yeah, I did as soon as the kid mentioned. Oh, good. Thanks.

Spencer, you said you wanted to talk about Arthur? I changed my mind.

I think Arthur can take care of himself.

Soon for yourself, you're the only deadbeat friends.

I just go around picking up the pieces.

You're done, all right? How'd you know? This overman told me about you.

She's a friend of mine.

What'd she say? She said your dad's gonna be needing me real

soon. Before.

I find people. You with the police?

Well, no, I used to be, but, uh, no I'm a private cop.

Yeah, well my dad won't need you anyway.

Most of the time he doesn't even know I'm gone.

Is that right? Yeah, we don't even talk in the mornings and at night.

It just sits me for weeks. Alright, who took my lunch?

No, Tommy, not me. Don't believe me, Dad.

for that.

Did always been like that?

No.

It was better before.

for your mom, Dad.

You miss her a lot, huh? Yeah.

You think you're dead, Mrs. or two?

I don't know.

He's not even my real dad anyway.

You like him?

You know, Donald, yeah.

Nobody can replace your pounds.

for the most special people in the whole world.

what I found.

You can learn to care about other people almost as much.

People who need you.

Love you.

Not my step there.

Why?

Does he just sits around and won't talk?

Maybe he's thinking about your mom.

Maybe it hurts him as much as it hurts you.

People aren't always what they seem.

I've learned that too.

Hey, have you ever talked about your stepdad to miss Silverman?

No, but I don't want to talk about him. I know, but maybe you got to.

She's real smart, you know, and maybe you could help.

Hello, Cutie.

You going my way? No, it depends on where you're going. I was talking to Donald.

See how you are. This is how you get your dates, huh? I'm a desperate woman.

I can see that in your eye.

You okay?

Excuse us.

I had a little talk with her boy.

You said his father's adjusting to this, all right? Yeah. You talked to him?

Well, I've been trying, but he's always so busy. Yeah, you better try harder.

I think Donald wants to talk to you about a stepfather.

I have Fiddy Mr. Watson's going to want to do some talking, too. OK.

But I'm the expert. You are, right? See you. Hey, Donald, be good. Be yourself.

You're still my girl, all Right?

I hated not being truthful of Nelson, but the fact is I wasn't ready to throw in the

towel in Arthur, not until the final round.

Green is definitely your color. Just a minute.

I'm sorry, Mr. Melkier. I tried to stop him. What are you? Where is it?

Can't be done with it. The whole security gladisand now.

I want an officer up here right away. I'm glad us get a guard up here.

Well, one more witness when you're indicted. I don't know who you think you are.

What the hell are you doing? But I'll give you some good advice.

You better get out of your face. Not on your face, commissioners.

What I've done, marty trail from Leopold to Arthur to you.

We're gonna throw away this perfectly good money, will you?

If I were you, I'd spend it real quick.

I wish you a ski for two of you still drink with me. Why don't you pick me up?

Not until I get my mother milk here's office. When did you start? The poor.

For a class job of surveillance, Bucko. Makes me proud of my fuelful.

I wish I could say the same about you. Spencer don't jump to conclusions.

Just because I came out of a door. Just talk to her.

All right, I've heard enough lies.

I know the whole story.

Leopold the money to pay off, carried by you each month the milk yours office.

You've been barnily appalled in business.

What's your call?

10

15%

I know it's more than car fare.

You needed a phony business to show the source of income.

Randall Security 61, Quincy Road.

You'll ran down the crime,

but you don't know the story.

We walked the beat the other day, you and me, remember? Yeah, remember.

There was a kid on the skateboard, Larry, the boxer.

Talking about the community center, used to be a shoe store without a business

when the malls came in. I took over the lease.

I put in a boxing ring, a record player in books, lots of books.

Those kids deserved a chance. Nobody was giving them that.

The only problem was there was no money. Somebody had to pay for it.

So I thought it wouldn't be dantief. I could arrange for a toad-like body leopold

to pay for those kids' future.

Only he didn't know it.

All he knew he was paying me once a month to deliver the money to City Hall.

But he would do anyway.

as long as I was the bagman, those kids were getting the break.

Was that so wrong?

for me to judge. I'm asking

was that so wrong, Spencer?

You're the teacher, you tell me.

I don't know any longer what's right, what's wrong.

Maggie died then.

Let poor with a funeral.

with my pension worth.

$2 and the cab's

there after 25 years.

I needed more.

I wanted more. So it wasn't all just for the kid. Now it was for myself too.

getting older.

afraid.

I thought I deserved more before I die.

You should have found another way.

There was no other way.

to turn me into a Spencer.

Are you gonna tell me?

haven't answered me yet Spencer.

with him.

I don't think I could face

it. Not after 25 years in the force. Retired with honors?

Oh, it's not the shame of the thing, although that's bad enough.

But you know what happens with cops who end up

among those? They help

put away.

Go!

BAM!

I'm not a trade. I learned that about a year ago, but Leeopold will kill you.

There's only one way to take him up for good.

Milk here.

Why didn't you come in and name the Pope?

Incredible. He's even been talking to a man running for mayor.

I mean, he's always protected his squeaky clean image.

The area is taken money from a slime-like Barney Leopold.

The money turned him.

Will you come in and tell her to a grand jury? Do I have a choice? Not really.

If you refuse, I'll indict you anyhow.

Lovely, man.

Still, as I mean, your troubles are over.

I've been a bit of target practice in front of your house.

There might be more of it. I'll arrange for police protection. All right.

We're talking high-level corruption here,

maybe even cops involved taking our own protection. Thanks.

Like a mouth out of you,

man.

Oh well, well.

Pleasant surprise. It wasn't

Mr. Wise, but with the quarters.

I want to see Barney Leapold. It's him why don't you and...

Your friend over there just turned it around

and head on back out while you can still walk. How do you know you were my friend?

Ah!

That's what shooting at me. No, where is he? OK, something.

I think we had a call him out here. How do you call a wizard?

I want to see how.

Hey, buddy, nice day, huh?

Thank you.

Not a good idea.

You got one wounded man here, Barney? You want to go for some dead wounds?

We can lay all out here in the tables. Nice little funeral part.

Yes, so your one friend can come by and pay his respects. What does it you want?

If it's money, I'll give it to you. You like the Celtics?

Yeah. I like this, Alex.

He likes the Celtics? I've got a friend

named Martha Reynolds, you know what?

He likes Celtics too.

Now me and my friends were all going to be rooting for the Celtic

for a long time to come unless you've got some other ideas. No.

That's real good.

you've got a real good memory. You may not see us again.

Grandeur is at 10. Will you be taking calls?

I don't think so.

Mr. Melk, you're the round-off contract came in. Do you want me to?

Mr. Melk here.

How you feeling? I'm tired. Yeah. Thursday. Probably shot across the street.

You! Thank you! Thank you. Thank you

Don't talk. How is it? Don't worry about it.

Talk about it.

Is it that bad?

What'd you do? We're about to take him down. I'm not fast enough, Buckle.

He had to draw. You sure you're done it. Couldn't help it.

I'm still a cop. Goddamn, good one.

Thanks, man.

Please, please.

It's good to hear.

I didn't ever want to disappoint you, not ever.

I'm sorry.

You didn't know either.

You're gonna be fine.

It can be okay. All right? Are you okay? Are you all right?

Get him, make it. You hear me? Come on, hang on.

a lot of people love to.

That was easy.

All you had to do was get the milk.

I saw Donald Watson and his father together in a session yesterday.

We talked about grief.

about what a complex emotion it is.

how it can suffocate you, strangle you at first.

I think that they finally realize that it can come to an end eventually.

He was well too expensive.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Two!

You are that. You are. Long may he sing in heaven.

I realize there was only one fitting way to grieve for Arthur Dmitrius Reynolds, as

he would have it with drink and song. His friends weren't mourning a loss.

They were celebrating the life of a man who

had touched them with his love and brought

them joy.

After all.

Isn't that a true measure of a man's life?

Hey, Spencer!

Goodbye.

Alive.
