All language subtitles for The Streets of San Francisco s01e10 The Year of the Locusts.eng

- Ready?
- Yeah.

This is Security in the west building.
The lights keep going out here.

Maybe you'd better get
the power company to check on it.

Okay, I'll have a look around.

- Hold it. Right there.
- Hey.

Josh.

- Josh, he's dead.
- Yeah. All right.

- Josh, he's dead!
- All right, come on.

Come on, Jerry. Let's go!

You can't run forever, buddy boy.

Come on.

Come on, get off your bicycle.
Come on.

Stick and move, stick and move.
That's all you old men know.

Old man? I'll give you old man.
You backtracking tap dancer, you.

Come on.

This man moves like a butterfly
and stings like a bee.

And runs like a rabbit, huh?
Maybe lets...

- Hey, Stone.
- Yeah.

Telephone.

Okay, tiger.

Lucky that bell rang, because I was
just about ready to ring yours.

What'd you do? Get someone
to bail you out after five rounds?

I'll tell you a secret. I thought of it.

Yeah, Stone.

Yeah.

We're coming right over.

Yeah, I know where it is.

What?

Oh, I was just thinking.

Here we are, working out,
feeling good, full of ginger.

Somebody else takes the count.

You got a killing?

Ghirardelli. Night watchman
walked in on someone

at the lmperial Jade Company.

Well, come on, let's take them off.

Lieutenant, inspector.
Just about done with the scud work.

- Owner's in the office.
- Where's the body?

Around the corner.

Took a slug point-blank, looks like.

How'd he get in?

- This roof door, over there.
- Right.

- Did you get the coroner?
- On the way.

Yeah, powder burns, all right.

You're right.
He took the shot point-blank.

- What's the owner's name?
- Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu.

Mr. Wu?
Lieutenant Stone, Homicide.

How do you do, lieutenant?

- How much did they get?
- Over a half a million dollars.

- All in jade?
- Yes.

Was any of it carved? Traceable?

It was the finest grade
imperial jade.

Flown to any of the world markets,
the individual pieces could be sold

at full price, and there would be
no way of tracing them.

All right.

The insurance company
should reimburse you in full,

- I should think, shouldn't they?
- I'm sure they will.

They're a very reputable firm.

- And so are we, lieutenant.
- Oh, I know that, Mr. Wu.

But once in a while,
very reputable fingers

get caught
in some very reputable tills.

Here, if you happen to think
of anything more on the shooting,

- why, there's my number.
- Thank you, lieutenant.

You don't figure an inside job,
do you, lieutenant?

Well, it's pretty tough to break in
from the outside, isn't it?

All those lights on and the locks,
security checks and...

You're thinking inside.

Yeah. Unless you got something
that says it's different?

Well, Nelson might.

There was a power company truck
outside at 3 a.m. This morning.

He called the company,
and there were no details for this area,

but there was a stolen truck reported.

Let's go. Stay here.

Oh, man, you gotta be an engineer
or have a diagram for a job like this.

Well, let's suppose they did
have a diagram. Then what?

Well, yeah, they could then bring
each wire to the alarm system

to the electric eye, yeah.

They'd know how long to keep it
turned off before it could be traced.

Well, I'll get it dusted, but I don't think
a job this smooth they'd leave prints.

Put your light on that.

- Looks like grease.
- It's more like tar.

It's the same stuff I found
on the stairs up by the roof.

You mean down here and up there
could be the same person?

Two guys that work at the same job?
Roofing company, gas station.

Come on, let's get it to the lab.

Okay, thanks, buddy.

Oh, no, it can't be.

What?

Has it been seven or eight years?

Could be.

What are you talking about?

Gypsies, buddy boy.
Modern-day Gypsies. The Fergusons.

- Who?
- Fergusons.

Haven't you ever heard
of Angus Ferguson?

- No.
- Well, you will.

They're like locusts.

They pick a town,
and they pick it clean.

- Bunco, huh?
- Yeah, none better.

You know,

old man Angus has mastered
every con and hustle you can think of.

You wanna hit them
before they get started?

No. No, no.
There's nothing to bust them on.

He keeps them all just this side
of the law. Never any violence.

Look, get on the box.

- Tell Bunco to batten down.
- Right.

Now, pick one, any one.

Queen of hearts.

Queen of hearts
for the princess of my heart.

Your turn now, Nicholas.

Come on, practice, Nicky, practice.

This afternoon, the visit is over.

We put you on the bus,
and you go home to your mama.

I want you to show her
what you learned.

Angus.

We are almost there.

Frisco-one, this is Alpha-one.

Hold on, Grandpa.

- Dad, Grandpa's on the horn.
- Okay.

- Hello, Papa.
- Roger.

Alpha-one approaching
northwest sector 24.

Countdown to arrival,

zero minus two.

- Are quarters secured?
- Yeah, Papa. We're all set.

Any problems?

- No, Papa. Everything's under control.
- Roger, over and out.

I think maybe...

Maybe we ought to think about
breaking this off right here and now.

But why?

It's the old man.

You know how
he's gonna take this.

Yeah, I think I do.

If he finds out.

It's never been killing before.

Con, flimflam, hustle.

Never murder.

Wait a minute.
That wasn't murder.

- But Josh...
- No, no, no, wait. You weren't there.

That job was planned,
just like everything else we do.

And the one thing you can't plan for,
can't program, is a freak accident.

That guard had a gun.
There was no other way out, Al.

You wanna call that whole scene an
accident, self-preservation, whatever.

Not murder.

Papa...

...Josh is right.
- The man is dead!

All right! We can't change that, Al!

Look, you're sitting
on a half a million bucks.

That's what you wanted.

James wanted, Jerry, I wanted.
All right, we got that.

One more job and the family
will never have to hustle again.

Stopping now isn't gonna change
what happened.

What would you have done
in my place, Al?

Okay. Get the doors open.

Put this stuff
where Papa doesn't find it.

Okay.

San Francisco.

Our city, Mama. Our city.

Just for the taking.

- Mrs. Cartwright?
- Yes?

- Mrs. Henry Cartwright?
- Yes?

Well, congratulations.

Well, you were referred to us by your
neighbor, Mrs. Kramer, I believe,

for a free set
of complete rain gutters.

- Free?
- Yes, ma'am.

You see, if your roof
is eight years old or less...

Well, it's like a promotional...
Well, your roof is eight years old?

- Well, it's a little over eight.
- Well, how much more?

- Well, ten?
- Oh, gee, I'm very sorry.

Oh, but my husband keeps it
in excellent repair.

Well, Mrs. Cartwright, we have
specifications by which we maintain...

Actually, what you put on this paper
is what really counts, isn't it?

- Yes, it is, but we still have certain...
- Oh, eight years.

- But Mrs...
- Oh, please.

Well, maybe just this time.

It'll probably only cost you peanuts
to bring this roof up

to specifications anyway.

- You win, Mrs. Cartwright.
- There's a ladder in the garage.

Okay, let's get it moving.

There we go, Mr. Hopkins.

Just give us your John Henry
right by the X. Right there.

All I'm paying for
is the maintenance, right?

Oh, yes, sir.
Of course, you know you're signing

that you won't tell
your neighbors about that.

That's your guarantee
to the company

in exchange
for promotional value to us.

- I call that square. By the X, you say?
- Right. Right there, sir.

Hey! Hey!
What are you people doing here?

Oh, hi, Mr. Whipple.

No, it's not Whipple, it's Ralph Dunn,
and I own this house.

- What are you people doing here?
- Dunn?

Look at that,
we come to the wrong house.

Terrific.

Well, I'm sorry, sir.

You see, Mr. Whipple said
that we could resurface his driveway.

We're giving him the whole job
for half price

as he's the first
in the neighborhood, and it's kind of,

well, good advertising
for the company, you know?

Well, anyway, I'm sorry
if we disturbed you, Mr. Dunn?

Dunn.

Think we can find the right place
this time?

Hey... Hey, wait a minute.

You're kind of unloaded anyway.
Hey,

you say you're giving a resurfacing
job at half price?

Yeah.

Why not me instead of Whipple?

- Why not?
- Sure.

- You got it.
- Okay.

What's going on, Lessing?

Overflow from Bunco.
Chief said to lend a hand.

They can't cover it all.

Man, it's like an epidemic.

- Fergusons.
- They went through Pacific Heights

block by block
and then disappeared.

- Well, what about the trucks?
- You can't stop every truck in town.

They repaint those phony panel signs
at least twice a day.

And both of them
were such nice-looking boys.

Couldn't have been over 20.
Clean-cut, well-mannered.

And so I trusted them.
You would too.

But the roof never leaked before.
And my husband ran the hose over it...

Are you kidding?
You got to snap it up, right?

And then they leave,
and then you read the fine print.

Have you any idea
how much maintenance comes to?

I could give you a description.

It was that sneaky one.

That sneaky one who called
and told me how I'd been picked.

They said they were gonna resurface
my whole driveway for half price

if I was the first one
in the neighborhood.

And then all they did was spray
some kind of stuff on it

that melted the top
and made it look pretty good.

And then they said it was gonna dry
in six hours.

Now, look, look.

Look what happened to these shoes
after I just walked on it.

Now, I paid good money
for those shoes,

and I paid a lot more for a driveway
that's oozing into my front lawn.

Now, I want my money!

Excuse me,
may I see that for just a minute?

And I want those people put in jail
where they belong!

Yes, sir.

Excuse me.

Mike.

Someone just had
their driveway resurfaced.

- By the Fergusons?
- Sounds that way, yeah.

I don't know.
It just... Just doesn't make sense.

Why not?
You know what I'm thinking?

This is the same stuff we found
on the steps of the Jade Company.

Okay, get it under the microscope.

Jerry, remember, the first-grade
material goes on last so it shows.

Oh, Grandpa, that's what
we're doing right now.

Let me see those.

These are the factory rejects?

Yeah, Gramps, you see, the Denver
House didn't have any more rejects,

- so they gave us seconds.
- Seconds?

What kind of a unit profit
can we expect

laying out perfectly good seconds?

- But, Gramps, you see...
- Tell Denver this is a business I run,

- not a charity.
- All right, Grandpa.

Okay. Okay?

- Did you see that?
- What?

The way he looked at me.

The way they all looked at me.

- Oh, Angus.
- Don't tell me I'm imagining, Mama.

I've seen it for months now.
Ever since Ellen married Josh.

That one is trouble. I know it.
And I know he talks against me.

What can any of the family say
against you?

- You hold them together.
- They can say I'm old.

- And they'd be right.
- I won't listen to that.

When we began, we lived by our wits
to keep the wolf from the door.

But now, the corporations,
the computers,

the contracts, the lawyers...

The fun is gone.

Only the taking remains,
and that can be dangerous.

People like Josh, they don't know
what it is to be hungry, to be without.

They've had too much,
and they want too much more.

I worry
even my own sons don't know.

I think you worry too much, Angus.

I hope so, Mama.

- I hope so.
- Come, let us get back to the office.

Can you feel it, Al?
Down there, all around us?

The old man says
to do your homework, right?

Well, I did mine.

You know what the volume is
in this place? In securities, I mean.

After 12:30 every day,

San Francisco is the leading
securities market in the world.

Josh, it's impossible to pull off.

Not for us. We've got
the manpower, the files, the figures,

even a network to get it out
of the country. We've got it all, Al.

The old man set it up.

All we have to do is work it like we did
with the Jade Company.

It's a little bigger than that, Josh.

So are we, right, brother?

It's the same substance, all right.
On all the samples.

- Okay. Thanks, Ben.
- All right.

- No, something's wrong.
- Mike, I'm sorry, it fits.

And what's more, it ties together
both the killing and the robbery.

Angus Ferguson is a lot of things,
but he's not a killer.

You're not the only one getting older.
Maybe he's not running the show.

That's not funny, buddy boy.

The way that old man has built up
this organization over the years,

in wrong hands?

Now you just show
the rest of the guys that jade, okay?

Tell them what we pulled off,
on our own, then they'll be with us.

Not Papa.

We don't need him for this.
He won't be involved.

Look around you, Al. Pick a target.
There, there, there?

We're walking down a street with four
of the largest banks in the state,

including the world's largest.

They're all handling
those stocks and bonds.

Stuff that takes months,
maybe even years to trace.

I'm telling you, brother,
now is the time.

And like the natives say,
this is the city.

- Okay, Josh.
- Attababy. Come on.

Ferguson, huh?

That's not really a Gypsy name, is it?

Angus came from the Balkans
somewhere.

Changed his name
when he got to this country.

He told us kids he won it
in a crap game.

So you really knew him?

I grew up with him. Same block.

Ma Ferguson's kitchen was one
of the best places in the Potrero.

She used to make cookies like...
Did you ever tasted a Gypsy cookie?

No. What are they?

I don't know.
I never asked her.

I only know that I've never tasted
anything better in my life.

So when did he take off
for the road?

Oh, just after the war, I think.

The old man got the idea
from the Germans.

Blitzkrieg a neighborhood
and move out fast.

And the lady you're gonna see,
this is his daughter?

Yeah. Bonnie.

- We went to school together.
- Well, why didn't she stay with him?

Well, I think she took a lot of heat
from the kids about her father.

Got tired of it, I guess.

Disowned them completely.

And you think she's gonna put
you in touch with the old man?

Maybe.

No. Whatever they are,
they're still my parents, Mike.

If the law wants them,
the law can find them.

Well, I just wanted to ask Angus
some questions, Bonnie, that's all.

You think he'd answer them?

This time, yes.

It's about murder.

What?

And you think it was the family?

I think I can prove it.

Oh, Mike, you have to be wrong.
Papa wouldn't let that happen.

Well, maybe he's in trouble.
Maybe he didn't know.

When was the last time
you talked to him?

He and Ma call once a year.
On my birthday.

Your birthday?

Say, it's the same month
as mine, isn't it? Capricorn?

- Yes.
- It's been a while.

It's been a while for you
to remember that too.

Yes, it has, hasn't it?

And I also remember that
you were as stubborn as I was.

You're not gonna let go of this,
are you?

I can't, even if I wanted to, Bonnie.

You know, every month, they send me
a check for a thousand dollars.

And every month, I tear it up.

I pay a pretty high price
to lead a decent life, Mike.

But I won't turn them in.

Then you do know
how to reach them.

Well, I...

I have a number.

It changes every time
the check comes.

Papa wants to make sure I have
a place to call in case I need any help.

Or if something happens
that says he does.

I never used it.

Use it now, Bonnie.

Tell him to set up a meeting.
Anytime, anyplace.

Just the two of us.
It'll be private, I promise.

Just to talk.

Okay, take it out.

And with the comparison figures
of the same quarter last year,

we see profits are up
five and one-half percent.

Plain cash, that's only about $40,000
per family.

You look down your nose on that?

Do you know what your Mama
and I had to do for one-tenth of that

- when you were a baby?
- Well, I'm not a baby now,

so don't talk to me like one!

- Albert.
- No, Ma.

We're supposed to go over the books.
Okay, let's go over the books.

Let's go over all the years
of this community enterprise

and add up how much
we have from it.

Obviously you did some adding
of your own

- before you asked for this meeting.
- Look, Papa,

we have the ability and the technology
to walk into a city

and walk out with anything we want.

- And we do just that.
- No, we don't.

We only do what you want,
what you say.

- You want something bigger?
- Yes. A lot bigger.

Like?

Like that.

Where did you get it?

- That's not important.
- I'll decide what's important.

Not right now, Papa.

What's important is that we talk.
Because there's a lot more of that,

- and a lot of other places we can take.
- Silence.

Papa, we don't have to change all
the methods. Only the targets.

- All I want is...
- Silence!

- I will not be dictated to.
- Well, you dictate to everybody else.

Yes. Because this old Gypsy
is smarter than everybody else.

He has never been
the victim of greed.

And make no mistake,

greed victimizes
all who fall into its trap.

That's the secret behind our success.
We made greed our ally.

But it's a two-edged sword, boy.

You can live by the greed of others,
or die by your own.

Now, I want to know
where this came from,

and I want to know why I wasn't told
about it before!

- Angus.
- Grandpa,

- there's a call on the emergency line.
- It's Bonnie.

She's the only one
who has that number.

You're in charge, Albert.

Alert everyone we may have to
execute an emergency escape.

But when I get back,
I want those answers.

- Is that him?
- Yeah, that's him.

He said alone.

Michael.

Michael Stone. Look at you.

And look at me, eh? An old man.

But you, the years are good to you.

Hello, Mr. Ferguson.

Angus. You must call me
Angus, Michael.

Now we are men together.
Sit or stroll?

- Let's walk.
- Good.

You're not an easy man to find.

If I were, we'd see a lot
of each other, eh?

Yeah, I suppose so.

- I certainly appreciate your coming.
- It must be very important to you.

I'm sure it's not the policy
of your department

to meet with a person like myself
and not place them under arrest.

Well, I don't have a warrant for your
arrest, and I don't have any evidence

to tie you in personally
with this case I'm on.

- I just wanted to talk to you about it.
- What is that, Michael?

Murder.

That isn't my...
How do you call it?

- M. O?
- I know it isn't.

But I believe that a member
of the family killed the night watchman

at the lmperial Jade Company
the night before you came to town.

Killed him before we came to town?

I don't follow that logic.

When you hit a town,
you hit it like a bolt of lightning

and you disappear just as fast.

Now you know that you couldn't do
that if you didn't send

a few of the boys in ahead.
Who were they?

I'm not in the habit of discussing
the method of my operations

with the police, Michael.

Well, Mr. Ferguson,

I know a...

A part of me is a cop. You're right.

But there's still a part of me
that's a little kid sitting in your kitchen

gobbling down cookies,
watching you do card tricks.

- I believed in you. What do you say?
- Michael.

Who were they?

They're my family.

I understand that,
and I respect it.

But isn't it time you taught them
to respect the law?

I knew you didn't teach them
to murder.

I taught them all I knew.
But never to kill.

Well, now you know that one of them
is a murderer.

You must believe it,
or you wouldn't have said that.

Be in your office
tomorrow morning, 9:00.

I'll let you know.

One way or the other,
you'll get my message.

Angus!

Killer.

Papa. Papa, no.

You robbed and you killed.
You broke all the rules, and you killed!

He didn't kill anybody, Grandpa.

- You were with him.
- That's right. And so were they.

And so are the rest of us now,
Grandpa.

You all know what happened,
and you condone it?

Grandpa, we couldn't help
what happened.

You could have helped
by not being there.

You could have remembered what I
told you about guns and violence.

And we could spend
the rest of our lives nailing shingles

and slopping tar,
but we're not gonna do it.

We're gonna take the same samplings
that you use in your operation

with one difference.
We're gonna make one big score.

It was you. You pulled the trigger.
You shot the man and left him.

- He pulled a gun on me.
- You shouldn't have had a gun.

Gramps, would you rather
see me dead?

Have Ellen become a widow?
Is that what you want, Gramps?

You shouldn't have even been there.

Papa, we got away
with a half million dollars in one night.

You broke all the rules.

There are gonna be some new rules
now, Grandpa.

And we're gonna make them.

Papa.

- Well, good morning.
- Morning, buddy boy.

- Any word from the old man yet?
- No.

Well, things have slowed down
anyway.

- See you finally got the sketches.
- Yeah.

He's Albert. I knew him.

He's the oldest.
The other two must be grandsons.

And you think he's gonna call, huh?

He said he would.

- Maybe he's putting you on too.
- Maybe.

It's gonna be a blitzkrieg.

This is Montgomery Street.
They call it the street of banks.

This is Target A,

B,

C and D.

I figure this baby for two to three
hundred thousand in securities.

- You intend to hit them all at once?
- That's right.

Four banks on the same street,
all at the same time.

Well, the hand is quicker than the eye,
Gramps, remember?

We're only after the securities
they're holding.

We'll arrive by appointment,
and deal with one trusting soul

in the back room, in the true
Ferguson style, of course.

How do you leave this trusting soul?

Well, just so he won't talk, Papa,
he'll be bound and gagged.

And shot to death if he resists.

Maybe you'd better sit down,
Grandpa.

We're trying to run a tight ship here,
like you taught us.

Okay?

Tell him.

Tell him that Fergusons
are not common thieves.

They're not murderers.

Tell him you will not risk
taking any more lives.

Tell him that and I will forgive you.

Please, sit down.

Greed.

Greed.

I was thinking, there's one thing in
common with all these Ferguson jobs.

- About their planning and research?
- No, no, the trucks.

I thought we discussed the trucks,

how they change
their signs ten times a week.

I know we discussed it, but they have
to have someplace to change them.

A paint shop, garage, warehouse,
something.

Well, you know, that's pretty good
for a tap dancer.

Come on, let's talk
to the Building Department.

- What's this?
- It's been checked out, Mike.

Lady named Bonnie Larson
dropped it off at the front desk.

Said it was something
from her father.

Had to be hand-delivered at 9 sharp.

- Well, what is it?
- Something from the kitchen.

- Kolace.
- What?

Here. I'll explain later. Just read.

"Michael, you are right.

I have been a poor teacher,
but I am preparing one last lesson."

What's he talking about?

Read.

"I will need time,
but I will not take too long.

One more hour will suffice.

You must proceed as directed
and arrive precisely at 10:00.

At that time, I will know
to what degree I have failed,

and the fate of the Fergusons
will then be in your hands.

Your first stop is the newsboy
near Geary and Laguna. "

Paper, mister?

- Thanks.
- Right, sir.

"It should have taken you
ten minutes."

- It took 12.
- "Your next stop,

Kim's Treasure House."

What is this? A scavenger hunt?

Thank you. Thank you very much.

You know this is crazy, don't you?

We're looking for a killer,
and he's playing games.

Angus has played games all his life.

Yeah, shell games, con games,
but this is something else.

Ferry Building. Come on.

And he says, "You've got
exactly 11 minutes to make it."

Twenty minutes, Papa.

Thanks.

"Last..."
Here, come on, read that.

"Last stop, Michael.

You are exactly 15 minutes
from the warehouse

where we are headquartered.

I have diagrammed a blueprint
of the building on the back of this note.

I suggest you radio for assistance.

You will need four black and whites
to block vehicle escape routes

marked in red on the diagram.

Ten men will be required to cover
pedestrian exits, including the roof.

These are marked in yellow."

Go on, go on.
What about our man?

"My son-in-law, Josh Evans,
shot the watchman.

Three others planned
the robbery with him.

My son Albert and two
of my grandsons, James and Jerry.

There will be no shooting this time.
You have my word."

The word of a Gypsy.

You didn't read between the lines.
He just retired.

- What's the address?
- Beach and Garvey.

Beach and Garvey.

All units within vicinity
of Beach and Garvey, code 3,000.

I ask you again.

Stop what you're doing.

Albert, James, Jerry, Josh.

Stay with me,
and I will stay with you.

We'll confess to the police together,
pay our debt together.

I beg you.

Stop what you're planning
and stay with me.

That's beautiful, Gramps.

But I think you can stop the con.
We know what we're doing.

All right.

As you will.

Mama?

- Where you going?
- That no longer concerns you, Josh.

- Any of you.
- That's right.

This is all that concerns you now.

It's all yours.

The trucks, the merchandise,
everything.

My boy...

...I give you the business.

Hey, it's okay, Al. Come on.
After this job, we'll patch things up.

We'll get back together.
You know that.

Give me that bullhorn.
Give me that bullhorn.

This is an arrest.
All exits are covered.

Stay right where you are,
and no one will get hurt.

This is an arrest.
All exits are covered.

Al, he set us up.

Stay right where you are.

Stand still.

- You all right?
- Yeah. Yeah.

I guess the old man was right, huh?

No guns.

Just the word of a Gypsy.

All right. You know, from the looks
of their books,

- they're out of business for good.
- Yep.

- But he got away, the old man.
- Yeah.

Of course he did. He's a wizard.

- He's a what?
- A wizard, buddy boy.

A master of magic.

- Hey.
- Hey.

That's very good.
