Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,601 --> 00:00:03,159
You're not dropping
the case, are you?
2
00:00:03,236 --> 00:00:04,703
Well, I don't have
much choice.
3
00:00:09,142 --> 00:00:13,203
I still cannot accept
the fact that that maniac escapes conviction
4
00:00:13,279 --> 00:00:15,873
all because of some
has-been gumshoe.
5
00:00:15,949 --> 00:00:18,349
He does seem
like a flake.
6
00:00:18,418 --> 00:00:20,113
Do you have any idea
who's behind it?
7
00:00:20,186 --> 00:00:23,246
No, but whoever it is,
is trying to cover their tracks with a backhoe.
8
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:26,053
I can get your PI ticket
pulled in 60 seconds flat!
9
00:00:35,468 --> 00:00:37,129
ROCKFORD
This is Jim Rockford.
10
00:00:37,203 --> 00:00:38,636
At the tone, leave your name
and message.
11
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:39,729
I'll get back to you.
12
00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:43,569
Mr. Rockford,
Arthur's Hi-Fi. Your stereo is ready.
13
00:00:43,643 --> 00:00:47,238
But since your warranty
expired in the two months it was in our shop,
14
00:00:47,313 --> 00:00:49,747
you'll have to pay
the $60 on the repair.
15
00:01:46,773 --> 00:01:50,038
Connors, he didn't even
play for the Padres.
16
00:01:50,110 --> 00:01:51,975
Connors was an Angel!
17
00:01:52,412 --> 00:01:54,710
Don't you remember?
The old Padre's
18
00:01:54,781 --> 00:01:58,512
first baseman
was Luke Easter.
19
00:01:59,052 --> 00:02:01,543
I should never
bet with you, George.
20
00:02:05,792 --> 00:02:07,123
Hey, Pete!
21
00:02:07,894 --> 00:02:09,259
Give me one
for the road, will you?
22
00:02:09,329 --> 00:02:10,318
Yeah.
23
00:02:10,396 --> 00:02:13,331
All right, another
dollar says you can't tell me
24
00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:15,890
who was center fielder
25
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,494
for the LA Angels,
late '40s.
26
00:02:18,571 --> 00:02:20,732
Gotcha!
Dom Dallesandro!
27
00:02:20,807 --> 00:02:24,675
Uh-uh, close,
he played left field.
28
00:02:24,744 --> 00:02:28,305
The old center fielder,
Cecil Garriott.
29
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:31,179
Remember, they used
to call him the Rabbit?
30
00:02:31,651 --> 00:02:34,176
Easy money, Johnson,
that's you, huh?
31
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:40,785
Oh, jeez, the Angels
were so good in them days.
32
00:02:40,860 --> 00:02:43,954
Shuster at short,
Terwilliger at second.
33
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:45,998
Remember the Twig, huh?
34
00:02:56,442 --> 00:02:59,036
All right,
good night, Johnson.
35
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:01,872
See you tomorrow.
So long, George.
36
00:03:01,948 --> 00:03:03,313
Drive carefully.
37
00:03:03,383 --> 00:03:06,614
It's six blocks.
I can do that blind!
38
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:10,188
That's how
he usually does it, too.
39
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:55,228
Bird Dog to Home Plate.
40
00:03:55,301 --> 00:03:56,791
Yeah, Bird Dog.
41
00:03:56,869 --> 00:04:00,600
The Deuce is on the way,
right on schedule and looking real good.
42
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:21,789
All right, honey.
You're on.
43
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:25,859
Now we move on
to the Angels,
44
00:04:25,932 --> 00:04:28,730
bottom half of inning
number four in a scoreless game in Anaheim.
45
00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:30,894
Big first baseman,
Tony Montoya.
46
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:32,562
Montoya now swinging
a healthy back,
47
00:04:32,639 --> 00:04:35,506
completely recovered
from knee surgery last winter.
48
00:04:35,575 --> 00:04:37,509
Steve Butler's
on the mound for the Royals.
49
00:04:37,577 --> 00:04:39,067
Windup pitch for Montoya.
50
00:04:39,145 --> 00:04:40,669
A slider high and inside.
51
00:04:40,747 --> 00:04:42,271
Been a pitcher's duel
so far.
52
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:44,839
Butler has struck out four,
hasn't walked anybody,
53
00:04:44,917 --> 00:04:47,044
has allowed
but two base runners.
54
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,644
Here's the next pitch
on the way...
55
00:04:51,424 --> 00:04:52,857
Here's the next
windup by Butler.
56
00:04:52,925 --> 00:04:54,187
Fastball
grounded at third...
57
00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:56,785
Oop, Bridges bobbles,
throws... Too late!
58
00:04:56,863 --> 00:04:58,888
Montoya's safe on first...
59
00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:12,371
Jack Finney's on deck.
60
00:05:12,445 --> 00:05:15,278
Nobody out.
The go ahead run now at first base.
61
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,578
Beautiful starry night
here at the Big A.
62
00:05:17,650 --> 00:05:19,618
No score, fourth inning.
63
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:22,485
A check of the runner
at first by Butler, the pitch...
64
00:05:22,689 --> 00:05:25,123
Ladies and
gentlemen of the jury,
65
00:05:25,892 --> 00:05:29,419
a man with a serious
drinking problem sits before you now.
66
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:32,862
A man with four
previous 502 arrests,
67
00:05:32,932 --> 00:05:36,368
a man with two
previous 502 convictions,
68
00:05:36,436 --> 00:05:39,098
a man who was driving
without insurance,
69
00:05:39,172 --> 00:05:40,833
on a suspended license,
70
00:05:40,907 --> 00:05:43,603
with a.19 blood
alcohol count.
71
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:47,772
The evidence
against George Bassett is not only conclusive,
72
00:05:47,847 --> 00:05:49,906
it is downright
overwhelming.
73
00:05:49,982 --> 00:05:51,813
Maybe if he had gone
to jail the last time,
74
00:05:51,884 --> 00:05:54,478
Betsy Pruitt
would be alive today.
75
00:05:54,754 --> 00:05:56,688
If we are ever
going to put a stop
76
00:05:56,756 --> 00:05:59,020
to this wanton
slaughter on our highways,
77
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:01,686
then the first step
is in your capable hands.
78
00:06:01,761 --> 00:06:05,356
There is only one
rational verdict, and that is guilty,
79
00:06:05,998 --> 00:06:07,693
not of involuntary
manslaughter,
80
00:06:07,767 --> 00:06:10,827
not even of manslaughter,
but guilty as charged,
81
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:13,030
of murder
in the second degree.
82
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,336
Murder in
the second degree?
83
00:06:15,408 --> 00:06:17,103
There's something
wrong somewhere.
84
00:06:17,176 --> 00:06:19,644
Look, I have a nose
for this kind of thing.
85
00:06:19,712 --> 00:06:20,770
It's my business!
86
00:06:20,847 --> 00:06:24,681
Mr. Rockford,
how many times do we have to go through this?
87
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:27,219
There is no
reasonable doubt.
88
00:06:27,286 --> 00:06:30,312
Please sit down.
We'll take another vote.
89
00:06:33,526 --> 00:06:35,619
No doubt?
I mean, no doubt?
90
00:06:36,696 --> 00:06:39,995
Look. Look.
The natural way to get out of a car
91
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,494
would put me in
a position with my back to the door,
92
00:06:43,569 --> 00:06:45,332
facing the
oncoming traffic.
93
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,736
So what?
94
00:06:46,806 --> 00:06:48,603
She was hit from behind.
95
00:06:48,674 --> 00:06:51,700
So she saw his headlights
at the last minute,
96
00:06:51,778 --> 00:06:53,643
turned just before
he hit her.
97
00:06:53,713 --> 00:06:56,238
Reflex action
I think they call it.
98
00:06:57,483 --> 00:07:00,714
Well, that
is a possibility.
99
00:07:02,021 --> 00:07:03,352
It's a good one, too.
100
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:05,857
Okay, that's settled.
101
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:08,451
I think we can
safely say that we're
102
00:07:08,528 --> 00:07:10,826
going for
our final ballot.
103
00:07:12,899 --> 00:07:14,389
Another thing.
104
00:07:14,767 --> 00:07:17,395
Another thing...
Look...
105
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:21,670
If she was getting
out of the car to deal with a flat tire,
106
00:07:22,074 --> 00:07:24,269
why did she leave
the keys in the ignition?
107
00:07:24,343 --> 00:07:25,970
Huh? She'd need them
to get to the jack.
108
00:07:26,045 --> 00:07:28,775
Well, I doubt
that she intended to change it herself.
109
00:07:28,848 --> 00:07:30,315
She was probably
gonna knock on a door
110
00:07:30,383 --> 00:07:33,375
and use somebody's phone
and call the Auto Club.
111
00:07:33,453 --> 00:07:35,512
Then she would take
her Auto Club card.
112
00:07:35,588 --> 00:07:37,249
But she didn't,
she left it in her purse,
113
00:07:37,323 --> 00:07:38,551
which was on
the front seat, remember?
114
00:07:38,624 --> 00:07:42,685
Hey! Now I don't care
if she was standing in the middle of the road nude,
115
00:07:42,762 --> 00:07:45,094
juggling little blue
and white balls.
116
00:07:45,164 --> 00:07:46,825
Come on, the cretin
ran over her.
117
00:07:46,899 --> 00:07:48,332
Now there's no
dispute about that.
118
00:07:48,401 --> 00:07:49,891
He ran over her
all right.
119
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:51,937
Then you got no choice
but to vote guilty.
120
00:07:52,004 --> 00:07:53,699
Come on!
You've already taken up more time
121
00:07:53,773 --> 00:07:55,035
than that man's worth.
122
00:07:55,107 --> 00:07:56,131
Oh, is that right?
123
00:07:56,209 --> 00:07:57,938
Yeah, that's right!
124
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:01,908
Well, I...
125
00:08:02,348 --> 00:08:04,407
I have a reasonable doubt.
126
00:08:07,253 --> 00:08:09,380
And I'm not
changing my mind.
127
00:08:14,227 --> 00:08:15,888
Tough! I'm sorry.
128
00:08:20,299 --> 00:08:23,268
Your Honor, I move
that a mistrial be declared
129
00:08:23,336 --> 00:08:25,827
and that all charges
against the defendant be dismissed.
130
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:27,770
A dismissal would be
a grievous injustice
131
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,102
to the deceased,
Your Honor.
132
00:08:29,175 --> 00:08:31,939
I'm inclined
to agree with you, Mr. Wheeler.
133
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:34,445
The motion for
dismissal is denied.
134
00:08:35,014 --> 00:08:38,450
A new trial date
will be set and hopefully, at that time,
135
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:39,883
a jury can be impaneled
136
00:08:39,952 --> 00:08:42,477
that will not find itself
hopelessly deadlocked
137
00:08:42,555 --> 00:08:46,958
by the irresponsible
and unyielding decision of one of its members.
138
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:50,352
A decision, I might add,
that I consider an affront
139
00:08:50,429 --> 00:08:51,987
to these chambers.
140
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:54,658
To mock justice
and decency
141
00:08:54,734 --> 00:08:57,202
with the willful
disregard for the...
142
00:08:57,270 --> 00:08:58,259
Your Honor.
143
00:08:58,337 --> 00:08:59,964
You're out of order,
Mr. Rockford.
144
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:02,837
Your Honor,
in your instructions to the jury,
145
00:09:02,909 --> 00:09:05,309
you included the phrase,
"Beyond a reasonable doubt."
146
00:09:05,378 --> 00:09:06,777
There are facts
in this case...
147
00:09:06,846 --> 00:09:08,541
One more word
out of you, Mr. Rockford,
148
00:09:08,614 --> 00:09:10,582
and you are in contempt.
149
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:15,916
I would like to commend
the rest of the jury
150
00:09:15,988 --> 00:09:18,115
for their time
and their diligence
151
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:19,748
in the deliberation
of this case.
152
00:09:19,825 --> 00:09:21,554
Court is adjourned.
153
00:09:31,404 --> 00:09:33,599
He's not gonna
like this, Al.
154
00:09:33,673 --> 00:09:35,300
He sure isn't.
155
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:39,240
I don't think that
bozo put a bug up anybody's nose,
156
00:09:40,012 --> 00:09:42,344
but we'd better keep
our eye on this situation.
157
00:09:42,415 --> 00:09:43,746
All right.
158
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:47,010
In a churchyard
near the canyon
159
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:50,221
Where the myrtle
doth entwine
160
00:09:50,456 --> 00:09:54,449
There grow roses
and other posies
161
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:58,623
Fertilized by Clementine
162
00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,991
I used to hug her
163
00:10:02,068 --> 00:10:05,697
Now she's dead,
I draw the line
164
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:07,671
Listen, boy scouts
165
00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:12,234
Heed the warning
to this tragic tale of mine
166
00:10:12,445 --> 00:10:15,243
Artificial respiration
167
00:10:15,648 --> 00:10:19,106
Could have saved
my Clementine
168
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:21,982
Who's there?
169
00:10:22,054 --> 00:10:25,353
Supercitizen.
I'm back from the battle-scarred corridors
170
00:10:25,424 --> 00:10:27,187
of civic obligation.
171
00:10:27,259 --> 00:10:29,921
Oh, hi, sonny.
I almost didn't hear you come in.
172
00:10:29,996 --> 00:10:31,224
Yeah, well,
I would have knocked,
173
00:10:31,297 --> 00:10:33,094
but without a door,
it seemed rather pointless.
174
00:10:33,165 --> 00:10:35,725
Oh, yeah,
I'm taking them off and planing them down.
175
00:10:35,801 --> 00:10:38,235
That front door
come off real easy and this door did,
176
00:10:38,304 --> 00:10:40,864
but this one here,
I'm working on, is a real killer.
177
00:10:40,940 --> 00:10:42,703
Dad, do you mind
if I ask you something?
178
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:43,764
Huh?
179
00:10:43,876 --> 00:10:44,900
Why?
180
00:10:44,977 --> 00:10:47,377
Oh, you're getting
that tone in your voice.
181
00:10:47,446 --> 00:10:49,437
Don't you remember
last rainy season
182
00:10:49,515 --> 00:10:52,712
when the only way you could
get these doors open was to kick 'em open
183
00:10:52,785 --> 00:10:54,218
and how mad it made you?
184
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:55,776
Yeah, the only trouble
with that is
185
00:10:55,855 --> 00:10:57,982
when you performed
the same surgery over at your place,
186
00:10:58,057 --> 00:10:59,388
the doors never
did hang right.
187
00:10:59,458 --> 00:11:01,392
They were binding
till the guy from A-1
188
00:11:01,460 --> 00:11:03,189
came over and
replaced the hinges.
189
00:11:03,262 --> 00:11:05,492
Well, that ain't
gonna happen this time.
190
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:06,963
And besides,
it seems to me
191
00:11:07,033 --> 00:11:09,593
that anytime a person
does something nice for another person,
192
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:10,795
without being asked,
193
00:11:10,870 --> 00:11:14,135
then that other person
ought to show some small signs of gratitude
194
00:11:14,206 --> 00:11:16,766
and not walk around
with a nose out of joint
195
00:11:16,842 --> 00:11:17,831
first shot
out of the box.
196
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:18,934
Dad, I'm sorry.
197
00:11:19,011 --> 00:11:20,774
I'm really sorry.
It's just partly
198
00:11:20,846 --> 00:11:22,939
this jury duty
the last couple of weeks.
199
00:11:23,015 --> 00:11:24,277
I've had
no cash flow,
200
00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:27,285
I had to leave
the Collins case hanging fire...
201
00:11:27,353 --> 00:11:29,253
You don't have to
worry about that thing.
202
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:31,915
The batteries
leaked and gummed the whole thing up.
203
00:11:31,991 --> 00:11:35,051
How many times
do I have to tell you if you're going away,
204
00:11:35,127 --> 00:11:37,755
take the batteries
out of the flashlights and radios?
205
00:11:37,830 --> 00:11:39,627
Oh, swell!
That's just swell!
206
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:40,723
Well, it don't matter
anyways.
207
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,030
Mr. Collins called
a couple of days ago.
208
00:11:43,102 --> 00:11:45,935
It was bad news, sonny.
He said he couldn't wait no longer.
209
00:11:46,005 --> 00:11:49,133
He had to go
with another detective agency.
210
00:11:49,742 --> 00:11:52,370
Well, Dad, if you
had to fix something, why didn't you fix that?
211
00:11:52,445 --> 00:11:53,673
Well, now,
it seems to me
212
00:11:53,746 --> 00:11:56,476
that you're just
a little too teed off about your jury duties.
213
00:11:56,549 --> 00:11:59,518
And frankly,
it ain't too pleasant to see neither.
214
00:11:59,585 --> 00:12:03,646
It is your duty to accept
your responsibilities as a citizen,
215
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:06,590
and it is
your privilege to sit on a jury.
216
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:08,058
It's your
God-given right!
217
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:10,095
Dad, I take it seriously.
218
00:12:10,162 --> 00:12:13,131
I just wish
I could say the same about my 11 peers.
219
00:12:13,199 --> 00:12:15,463
And since I'm getting
this civics lecture,
220
00:12:15,534 --> 00:12:17,832
why don't we talk about
the last three elections
221
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:19,837
in which you didn't vote?
222
00:12:19,905 --> 00:12:24,239
Well, the...
The... The first one I had the grip. Yes, sir!
223
00:12:24,310 --> 00:12:27,507
And the second one,
that was the presidential election and...
224
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:29,548
Don't you remember
how it was raining
225
00:12:29,615 --> 00:12:32,379
and my tires is bald?
You remember everything.
226
00:12:32,451 --> 00:12:34,544
And then
the third election...
227
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:37,986
Well, you wouldn't
want me to tell L.J. that
228
00:12:38,057 --> 00:12:40,287
I couldn't come
to his birthday party, would you?
229
00:12:40,359 --> 00:12:41,951
Hello?
230
00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:43,860
I'm going back to work.
231
00:12:43,929 --> 00:12:46,557
Oh, Mrs. Bassett,
Mr. Bassett, come in.
232
00:12:49,802 --> 00:12:52,635
Just have a seat
on the couch, if you like.
233
00:12:53,038 --> 00:12:56,166
Mr. Rockford,
we're sorry to barge in on you like this,
234
00:12:56,242 --> 00:12:58,073
but we wanted
to tell you
235
00:12:58,144 --> 00:13:00,669
how grateful we are
for what you did.
236
00:13:01,380 --> 00:13:02,904
You saved him from jail.
237
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:05,883
I think I just
postponed it a while.
238
00:13:06,585 --> 00:13:09,952
Not if you'll help us.
You're a private investigator.
239
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:12,054
You know something,
don't you?
240
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:15,753
You saw something
that could clear George once and for all?
241
00:13:16,128 --> 00:13:19,962
I just couldn't go
along with second degree murder, that's all.
242
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:23,567
They should have tried you
for manslaughter.
243
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:27,363
See, I told you, Fran.
Let's go, huh?
244
00:13:27,439 --> 00:13:29,168
Why wouldn't you
go along with it?
245
00:13:29,241 --> 00:13:30,435
The rest of
the jury did.
246
00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:31,874
Well, Mrs. Bassett...
247
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:33,741
You're the only hope
George has.
248
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:35,303
Oh, come on,
Franny, huh?
249
00:13:35,381 --> 00:13:38,214
Well, it's the truth,
and you might as well face up to it.
250
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:40,878
Mr. Rockford's our
only real hope now.
251
00:13:41,153 --> 00:13:42,780
Can you tell us now
252
00:13:42,855 --> 00:13:45,289
why you held
out for not guilty?
253
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:48,349
Oh, mainly because
you swore that Betsy Pruitt's back
254
00:13:48,427 --> 00:13:50,918
was turned to you.
They couldn't shake you from that.
255
00:13:50,996 --> 00:13:53,794
Yeah, like I said,
it all happened so fast,
256
00:13:53,866 --> 00:13:56,528
and yet it was kind of
in slow motion.
257
00:13:56,602 --> 00:14:01,039
She just sort of floated
in front of my car and her back was turned.
258
00:14:01,106 --> 00:14:05,270
Well, nine times
out of ten, people will turn to face danger.
259
00:14:05,344 --> 00:14:07,608
It's a reflex action,
self-protective.
260
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:10,478
Are you saying this
was a set-up?
261
00:14:10,983 --> 00:14:15,010
You went into the same bar
every night, The Ramp Bar.
262
00:14:15,087 --> 00:14:17,078
You'd roll in
there about 5:00,
263
00:14:17,156 --> 00:14:20,592
you would chew the fat
till 8:00 or so,
264
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,718
by which time
you were drunk,
265
00:14:22,795 --> 00:14:24,285
and then you
would drive on home.
266
00:14:24,363 --> 00:14:27,025
I mean, it's a schedule
you could set your watch by.
267
00:14:27,099 --> 00:14:29,624
So maybe you
could have been set-up.
268
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:34,161
And maybe we can find
someone with a motive to kill Betsy Pruitt.
269
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:03,064
Hello.
Can I help you?
270
00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:05,262
Yeah, well, the
manager sent me up.
271
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:07,100
I was thinking about
renting and
272
00:15:07,172 --> 00:15:09,265
she said this unit
was gonna become available
273
00:15:09,341 --> 00:15:11,036
as soon as some
estate is settled.
274
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:13,408
But, hey,
if you're interested, you were here first.
275
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:15,208
Oh, no,
I was just leaving.
276
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:16,612
Oh, yeah?
277
00:15:17,383 --> 00:15:19,977
I don't know,
maybe you know
278
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:22,520
how the apartment
situation is in this town.
279
00:15:22,588 --> 00:15:25,523
What with the price
of houses going up and everything.
280
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:27,320
Do you have any idea
281
00:15:27,393 --> 00:15:31,352
what a two-bedroom
and a den goes for over on the West side?
282
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:34,263
Have you any idea
how completely full of it you are?
283
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:35,322
What?
284
00:15:35,401 --> 00:15:36,595
You're Rockford.
285
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:41,038
Look, I managed to get
to LA the last day of George Bassett's trial,
286
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:44,542
and they pointed you
out to me after you hung the jury.
287
00:15:45,044 --> 00:15:46,409
How could you?
288
00:15:46,478 --> 00:15:47,706
Well, look, Miss...
289
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:49,839
Bonnie Pruitt
is my name.
290
00:15:49,915 --> 00:15:52,213
And how dare you
come around here
291
00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:55,811
after letting that
creep get away with killing my sister?
292
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,413
Yeah, well, actually,
he hasn't gotten away with anything yet.
293
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:00,321
You better leave,
or I'm calling the cops.
294
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:03,122
Well, now, the fact is,
miss, there's a couple of things
295
00:16:03,195 --> 00:16:06,358
about your sister's death
that just don't add up.
296
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:11,127
Now.
297
00:16:11,904 --> 00:16:12,962
Look,
298
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:18,400
I think you ought
to take it easy.
299
00:16:19,545 --> 00:16:21,979
I'm sorry we had
to meet like this.
300
00:16:24,216 --> 00:16:26,047
I bet if you tried,
301
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:29,921
you'd have
a very attractive smile.
302
00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:37,224
That's probably
one of the most
303
00:16:37,296 --> 00:16:40,163
original lines
anyone's ever used on me.
304
00:16:40,232 --> 00:16:41,665
Well, it's true.
305
00:16:41,734 --> 00:16:44,396
And there's something
else that's true,
306
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:48,470
is that there is
something strange about your sister's death.
307
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:51,600
I came over here
looking for some kind of lead.
308
00:16:52,544 --> 00:16:55,274
Would you happen
to know anyone
309
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:58,009
who would want to do
this to your sister?
310
00:16:58,083 --> 00:16:59,107
No.
311
00:16:59,885 --> 00:17:03,082
But then I haven't seen
Betsy in over five years.
312
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:05,354
We weren't very close.
313
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:08,187
Mom and Dad couldn't stand
the thought of going through her things,
314
00:17:08,260 --> 00:17:10,922
so I flew out here
to take care of it for them.
315
00:17:10,996 --> 00:17:13,590
And I am running
a little late, as usual.
316
00:17:13,665 --> 00:17:15,155
Oh, yeah,
where are you going?
317
00:17:15,234 --> 00:17:17,225
Back to Tulsa.
Tulsa, huh?
318
00:17:19,138 --> 00:17:20,765
Did you sell
Betsy's car?
319
00:17:20,839 --> 00:17:23,467
No, the attorneys
must have handled it.
320
00:17:24,043 --> 00:17:25,738
That receipt copy
was in her mail.
321
00:17:25,811 --> 00:17:27,073
Oh.
322
00:17:27,146 --> 00:17:29,774
Oh, my plane
leaves in two hours. I'd better call a cab.
323
00:17:29,848 --> 00:17:32,612
Oh, no, I'll drive you.
The cabs are very expensive in LA.
324
00:17:32,684 --> 00:17:34,481
That is if you
can even get one.
325
00:17:34,553 --> 00:17:37,283
Now, I would like to
go over and take a look at Betsy's car.
326
00:17:37,356 --> 00:17:40,792
Kabalkov is over
in Inglewood, isn't that what it says?
327
00:17:40,993 --> 00:17:42,585
Okay. Thanks.
328
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:44,556
Maybe I should take
a look at it, too,
329
00:17:44,630 --> 00:17:46,860
and see if we
got a fair price.
330
00:18:04,049 --> 00:18:05,073
Jim.
331
00:18:06,785 --> 00:18:07,843
Jim.
332
00:18:08,053 --> 00:18:09,281
I've got
a plane to catch.
333
00:18:09,354 --> 00:18:10,378
Just a minute.
334
00:18:10,456 --> 00:18:12,083
There's something here
I don't understand.
335
00:18:12,157 --> 00:18:13,852
I found this pebble
lodged between
336
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:17,487
the valve
and the tire stem... And see this door?
337
00:18:17,563 --> 00:18:20,259
This door latch
is jammed in an open position.
338
00:18:20,332 --> 00:18:22,766
Well, couldn't
that have happened during the accident?
339
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:24,826
Well, yeah,
it could have,
340
00:18:24,903 --> 00:18:27,098
but you see this
armrest here?
341
00:18:27,172 --> 00:18:29,800
It's got kind of a...
Well, it looks like a burn,
342
00:18:29,875 --> 00:18:31,308
where somebody
had looped a rope
343
00:18:31,376 --> 00:18:32,866
through it
under pressure.
344
00:18:32,945 --> 00:18:35,072
I really don't understand
what you're getting at.
345
00:18:35,147 --> 00:18:36,705
Yeah, I'll show you.
346
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,910
Now, let's just
assume that I'm not barking at the moon
347
00:18:39,985 --> 00:18:41,782
and somebody really
wanted to make it look like
348
00:18:41,854 --> 00:18:43,082
your sister was
killed by a drunk driver,
349
00:18:43,155 --> 00:18:44,952
how would
I go about it, huh?
350
00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:48,117
First, I would
park the car
351
00:18:48,193 --> 00:18:50,855
and I would get out,
help myself to a flat tire,
352
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:54,695
then I'd jam
the door latch open.
353
00:18:54,766 --> 00:18:57,599
I'd put Betsy
behind the wheel.
354
00:18:57,669 --> 00:19:00,331
She's either unconscious
or just been...
355
00:19:00,906 --> 00:19:02,999
Here, you get in.
You be Betsy.
356
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:06,044
I've been trying not
to be Betsy all my life.
357
00:19:07,045 --> 00:19:10,208
Now, I'm gonna
need some rope...
358
00:19:13,085 --> 00:19:14,484
Yeah, here.
359
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:18,746
Now I'd get in this side.
360
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,123
Now, close the door.
361
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:25,658
Oh, oh, yeah, all right,
we'll just have to
362
00:19:25,731 --> 00:19:27,460
pretend that
it is closed. Here.
363
00:19:27,533 --> 00:19:29,797
Now loop this
through the armrest
364
00:19:29,868 --> 00:19:32,166
and then give
it back to me.
365
00:19:32,237 --> 00:19:36,037
That's right.
Now, if that door were closed,
366
00:19:36,375 --> 00:19:38,036
you'd be pinned right
up against it, right?
367
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:40,078
Yes. Jim,
what about my plane?
368
00:19:40,145 --> 00:19:41,612
Now, all right,
it's only gonna be a minute.
369
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,205
Now, you see,
timing is crucial.
370
00:19:44,283 --> 00:19:46,148
I'd be working on a...
371
00:19:46,785 --> 00:19:49,310
On a radio cue,
372
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:54,723
or I'd have that mirror
in exactly that position.
373
00:19:55,227 --> 00:19:56,717
Hey, I'm getting
into this thing.
374
00:19:56,795 --> 00:19:59,195
Yeah, well, is detective
work always like this?
375
00:19:59,264 --> 00:20:00,390
No, as a matter
of fact,
376
00:20:00,465 --> 00:20:03,366
it usually
is not anywhere near like this.
377
00:20:03,435 --> 00:20:05,460
Usually, I'm just
sitting outside of somebody's house.
378
00:20:05,537 --> 00:20:06,936
But every once in a while,
you get one of these
379
00:20:07,005 --> 00:20:08,632
physical layout things.
380
00:20:08,707 --> 00:20:11,801
You know, you kind of
recharge your battery. But anyway, anyway,
381
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:15,210
here comes George, right?
And just at the right time,
382
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,646
one of my cohorts
will pull his car
383
00:20:17,716 --> 00:20:21,208
out from the curb,
making George swerve,
384
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:23,884
and that is my cue
385
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:27,515
to let go of
the end of the rope.
386
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:31,062
The door will fly open
with the weight of your body against it
387
00:20:31,129 --> 00:20:32,562
as I shove you out.
388
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:34,599
Oh!
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
389
00:20:34,933 --> 00:20:37,231
Yeah, you know
a powerful man,
390
00:20:37,703 --> 00:20:40,604
especially
if he used both feet instead of his hand,
391
00:20:40,672 --> 00:20:44,199
could push you
three feet high and four feet out.
392
00:20:44,276 --> 00:20:46,437
George couldn't
have missed.
393
00:20:46,578 --> 00:20:48,102
Okay, let's go.
394
00:21:03,662 --> 00:21:05,892
Listen, I have an idea.
395
00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:09,024
Why don't you postpone
your trip back to Tulsa?
396
00:21:09,601 --> 00:21:10,625
Why?
397
00:21:10,702 --> 00:21:14,001
Well, you're Betsy's sister.
You knew her well.
398
00:21:14,072 --> 00:21:17,803
A lot of useful information
might occur to you along the way.
399
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:20,308
No, I really couldn't.
400
00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:23,574
But, I'll sure call you
401
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:25,879
if I do think
of anything else.
402
00:21:34,026 --> 00:21:35,425
Bye for now.
403
00:22:15,067 --> 00:22:18,036
He walked in on me.
I had to run a game on him.
404
00:22:18,103 --> 00:22:19,365
What does he know?
405
00:22:19,438 --> 00:22:21,565
Well, he doesn't
know who or why,
406
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,403
but he's sure
got how nailed.
407
00:22:23,475 --> 00:22:25,272
Oh, terrific!
408
00:22:25,344 --> 00:22:26,641
Was the apartment dirty?
409
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:27,804
Was it!
410
00:22:27,879 --> 00:22:30,211
Betsy kept a diary
on the whole thing.
411
00:22:30,282 --> 00:22:32,876
I'm just glad I got it
packed before he showed.
412
00:22:32,951 --> 00:22:35,317
We gotta do something
about him, and fast.
413
00:22:35,387 --> 00:22:36,718
What's his next move?
414
00:22:36,788 --> 00:22:40,622
Well, he's going to
talk to Betsy's employers tomorrow morning.
415
00:22:41,660 --> 00:22:43,628
Then he's going our way.
416
00:22:55,207 --> 00:22:57,937
I'm afraid
that you're talking to the wrong Horvath.
417
00:22:58,009 --> 00:23:00,603
Betsy was my
brother's secretary.
418
00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:03,246
Let me just see
if he's available.
419
00:23:05,016 --> 00:23:06,108
Arthur,
420
00:23:06,184 --> 00:23:09,642
I wonder if you could
come in here for a moment, please?
421
00:23:10,856 --> 00:23:12,380
Thanks a lot.
I really appreciate it.
422
00:23:12,457 --> 00:23:16,188
The info on
the policy app only said Horvath and Horvath.
423
00:23:19,931 --> 00:23:20,920
Yes, Martin.
424
00:23:20,999 --> 00:23:24,127
Arthur, this is
Gary Osheroff,
425
00:23:24,202 --> 00:23:25,931
he's with
Fidelity Mutual.
426
00:23:26,004 --> 00:23:29,405
It seems that poor
Betsy had a policy which no one was aware of,
427
00:23:29,474 --> 00:23:33,171
and he's got to ask
a few questions before they can pay off.
428
00:23:33,378 --> 00:23:35,278
It's just routine.
Background stuff.
429
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:37,872
It won't take more
than five minutes.
430
00:23:38,316 --> 00:23:39,647
All right.
431
00:23:39,785 --> 00:23:40,843
Come this way,
please?
432
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:42,682
Thank you very much.
433
00:23:52,264 --> 00:23:54,994
Would you have a seat
here, Mr. Osheroff?
434
00:23:55,901 --> 00:23:57,300
I'm afraid
you're going to have to excuse
435
00:23:57,369 --> 00:23:59,360
the condition of
this room. I have not had a chance
436
00:23:59,438 --> 00:24:01,770
to office-break
my new secretary.
437
00:24:03,241 --> 00:24:05,209
And it's chaos
around here.
438
00:24:05,277 --> 00:24:07,268
Oh, that's perfectly
all right.
439
00:24:07,345 --> 00:24:09,711
A messy office is
the mark of a busy man.
440
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:11,874
My office
looks just like it.
441
00:24:14,052 --> 00:24:17,180
You know, Betsy's death
came as quite a shock to me.
442
00:24:17,255 --> 00:24:19,246
I mean,
that was a waste.
443
00:24:19,424 --> 00:24:21,415
I still cannot
accept the fact that
444
00:24:21,493 --> 00:24:23,518
that maniac
escaped conviction,
445
00:24:23,595 --> 00:24:26,689
all because of
some has-been gumshoe on the jury
446
00:24:26,765 --> 00:24:28,323
trying to act like
Sherlock Holmes
447
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,265
and toot
his own tin horn.
448
00:24:30,335 --> 00:24:33,304
Yeah, well, he
does seem like a flake.
449
00:24:33,371 --> 00:24:36,272
Yeah, but, you know,
in the course of my investigation,
450
00:24:36,341 --> 00:24:38,775
I've uncovered
a few things that
451
00:24:39,344 --> 00:24:42,871
strongly suggest her
death wasn't what it appeared to be.
452
00:24:43,048 --> 00:24:44,640
Really?
What are you getting at?
453
00:24:44,716 --> 00:24:46,843
I think she might
have been murdered.
454
00:24:46,918 --> 00:24:49,409
You bet your life
she was, by a drunk driver!
455
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:51,752
And as soon
as he's convicted, I'll tell you something,
456
00:24:51,823 --> 00:24:54,815
we are, on behalf
of the family, suing Bassett,
457
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:56,952
The Ramp Bar,
and that bartender.
458
00:24:57,028 --> 00:24:59,622
Ah, you're going
to be very busy.
459
00:24:59,764 --> 00:25:03,666
Yeah, but I don't think
that Bassett is completely responsible,
460
00:25:04,002 --> 00:25:06,266
and if it wasn't
an accidental death,
461
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:08,306
my company's position
is going to be
462
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:10,671
somewhat modified,
payment-wise.
463
00:25:11,109 --> 00:25:15,478
You know, Mr. Osheroff,
I was very familiar with Betsy's financial affairs,
464
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:21,383
and I don't seem to recall
any policy issued by Fidelity Casual.
465
00:25:22,087 --> 00:25:26,387
Well, it was a recent one.
That's the reason for our suspicions.
466
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:28,926
You know,
at first we suspected the beneficiary,
467
00:25:28,994 --> 00:25:30,791
Betsy's sister,
she lives out of state.
468
00:25:30,862 --> 00:25:32,227
That sounds like Rockford!
469
00:25:32,297 --> 00:25:34,162
Betsy doesn't
have a sister.
470
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:36,564
I think we better
pull this guy's drapes.
471
00:25:36,635 --> 00:25:39,798
Medium height,
kind of reddish hair?
472
00:25:40,238 --> 00:25:43,674
She has a very
attractive smile. She's very attractive.
473
00:25:44,142 --> 00:25:46,235
Lives in Tulsa,
name's Bonnie.
474
00:25:46,311 --> 00:25:48,609
I'm afraid you have
your wires crossed, Betsy was from Michigan.
475
00:25:49,748 --> 00:25:51,511
Excuse me just a minute.
476
00:25:51,583 --> 00:25:53,574
Yes, Martin, what is it?
477
00:25:56,187 --> 00:25:57,484
Rockford?
478
00:25:58,156 --> 00:26:00,420
Oh, yeah, look,
I can explain this.
479
00:26:00,492 --> 00:26:02,392
I don't know what
your game is, Mr. Rockford,
480
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:05,725
but I'm gonna
report you to the D.A. Now you get out of here!
481
00:26:05,797 --> 00:26:09,824
Yeah, well that
seems like very sound legal advice.
482
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:10,993
Yeah.
483
00:26:28,553 --> 00:26:31,989
All right, you better
put that thing down and get out of my car.
484
00:26:32,057 --> 00:26:34,855
My name is Ed Chandler,
and I'm connected in this city,
485
00:26:34,926 --> 00:26:37,121
all the way up
to the Mayor's office.
486
00:26:37,195 --> 00:26:39,129
Well, you're about
to be connected to
487
00:26:39,197 --> 00:26:41,597
some weights
that are going off Point Mugu.
488
00:26:41,666 --> 00:26:44,191
Hey, you guys got
the wrong man!
489
00:26:44,269 --> 00:26:46,897
I'm a cop!
Really, I'm a deputy chief.
490
00:26:46,972 --> 00:26:48,633
You're a fourth-rate PI.
491
00:26:48,707 --> 00:26:50,072
Well, let me take
a shot in the dark.
492
00:26:50,141 --> 00:26:51,574
Bonnie Pruitt
told you that, right?
493
00:26:51,643 --> 00:26:53,873
Don't know
any Bonnies. Get in.
494
00:26:56,915 --> 00:27:00,043
Yeah, that's probably
not her real name anyway.
495
00:27:00,118 --> 00:27:01,608
Any woman who wouldn't
stick around
496
00:27:01,686 --> 00:27:03,711
to help clear her own
sister's death...
497
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:05,813
Divorce or no divorce,
I really have to
498
00:27:05,890 --> 00:27:08,859
learn to listen
to those little voices I hear.
499
00:27:08,927 --> 00:27:10,451
That's between
you and them.
500
00:27:10,528 --> 00:27:12,689
Personally, I don't
even know what you're talking about.
501
00:27:12,764 --> 00:27:14,493
Yeah, well, either
she was in this car,
502
00:27:14,566 --> 00:27:16,659
or you both wear
the same perfume, Mary.
503
00:27:16,735 --> 00:27:17,895
Shut up!
504
00:27:17,969 --> 00:27:21,336
One false move
out of you and I'll blow your head off.
505
00:27:40,392 --> 00:27:42,917
Well, I'll tell you guys,
506
00:27:43,628 --> 00:27:44,993
I guess I better
level with you.
507
00:27:45,063 --> 00:27:46,894
You know,
I wouldn't even be in this whole thing
508
00:27:46,965 --> 00:27:48,694
if it wasn't
for this guy Bassett.
509
00:27:48,767 --> 00:27:52,032
Hey, really,
really, I did some checking on this lush.
510
00:27:52,103 --> 00:27:54,037
You're not going
to believe it, this guy is worth over
511
00:27:54,105 --> 00:27:55,629
a million
and a half bucks!
512
00:27:55,707 --> 00:27:58,471
Yeah, he's like
one of these guys you read about in the paper.
513
00:27:58,543 --> 00:28:01,068
You know, he lives in
a little hole-in-the-wall like a squirrel.
514
00:28:01,146 --> 00:28:04,047
He's got all this money
and nobody knows it.
515
00:28:04,382 --> 00:28:07,283
Well, you're not gonna
believe what I found out.
516
00:28:07,352 --> 00:28:11,584
I guess I could share
this with somebody if really had to,
517
00:28:11,656 --> 00:28:13,715
but you gotta
promise me one thing.
518
00:28:13,792 --> 00:28:14,918
Look out!
519
00:28:23,334 --> 00:28:26,235
Hey, you all right, man?
Check this ride out!
520
00:28:29,774 --> 00:28:31,139
Hey, you got
a driver's license?
521
00:28:31,209 --> 00:28:32,801
Now, wait...
Wait a minute!
522
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:35,243
Just... Hey, hey.
It's a little accident.
523
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:37,441
It was a big accident.
524
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:40,484
I didn't even have a chance
to get their license number.
525
00:28:40,552 --> 00:28:43,180
I would have gone
to the cops, but I didn't have a whole lot of proof,
526
00:28:43,254 --> 00:28:45,188
so as soon as
I picked up my car, I called you.
527
00:28:45,256 --> 00:28:46,621
I figured
you'd want to know.
528
00:28:46,691 --> 00:28:48,454
Do you have any idea
who's behind it?
529
00:28:48,526 --> 00:28:51,791
No, but whoever it is,
is trying to cover their tracks with a backhoe.
530
00:28:51,863 --> 00:28:53,763
If they don't reopen
their investigation soon,
531
00:28:53,832 --> 00:28:55,732
there's not gonna
be any evidence left.
532
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,530
I seriously doubt
if it'll be reopened, Mr. Rockford,
533
00:28:58,603 --> 00:29:01,299
and the new trial's
been set for next Wednesday.
534
00:29:01,372 --> 00:29:03,169
Can't you get
a continuance?
535
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,503
I'll try.
536
00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:07,006
But George Bassett
was voted example of the month,
537
00:29:07,078 --> 00:29:10,070
and the D. A.'s office
is going for the throat.
538
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,312
I even feel
a little sorry for poor Norman.
539
00:29:13,384 --> 00:29:14,544
Poor Norman?
540
00:29:14,619 --> 00:29:16,143
The prosecutor.
541
00:29:17,722 --> 00:29:18,950
It was supposed
to be a lock,
542
00:29:19,023 --> 00:29:22,220
and he's really been
on the carpet for blowing it.
543
00:29:22,293 --> 00:29:24,158
I'm lucky you
were on the jury.
544
00:29:24,229 --> 00:29:25,457
Well, I'm not.
545
00:29:25,530 --> 00:29:28,556
I mean, I've been
on a thousand complex cases,
546
00:29:28,633 --> 00:29:31,158
but this one
has just too many slamming doors
547
00:29:31,236 --> 00:29:32,965
and mean people!
548
00:29:35,807 --> 00:29:37,104
I heard you were
in the building.
549
00:29:37,175 --> 00:29:39,575
I also heard
from Arthur Horvath that you were
550
00:29:39,644 --> 00:29:41,805
"on the case,"
whatever that means.
551
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,643
Seems self-explanatory.
552
00:29:43,715 --> 00:29:45,205
How dare you hang
a jury on me,
553
00:29:45,283 --> 00:29:46,477
then turn around
and work the case?
554
00:29:46,551 --> 00:29:48,849
Now, wait
just a minute, Norman.
555
00:29:49,487 --> 00:29:52,388
He has an
interesting theory,
556
00:29:52,857 --> 00:29:54,791
and I think you
should listen to it.
557
00:29:54,859 --> 00:29:57,487
Rockford, I may not
be able to get you for jury tampering,
558
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:59,689
I may not be able
to get you for obstructing justice,
559
00:29:59,764 --> 00:30:02,858
but I can get
your PI ticket pulled in 60 seconds flat!
560
00:30:02,934 --> 00:30:05,061
Which is how long
you have to get out of the building
561
00:30:05,136 --> 00:30:07,434
and off the case!
Is that clear?
562
00:30:10,942 --> 00:30:12,534
There, you see?
563
00:30:12,877 --> 00:30:14,606
Another slamming door.
564
00:30:15,613 --> 00:30:16,705
Hey!
565
00:30:17,182 --> 00:30:19,047
Mr. Rockford! Wait up!
566
00:30:19,784 --> 00:30:21,342
You're not dropping
the case, are you?
567
00:30:21,419 --> 00:30:22,886
Well, I don't have
much choice.
568
00:30:22,954 --> 00:30:25,548
Either I lose my life
or I lose my license.
569
00:30:25,623 --> 00:30:27,750
I'm sorry, Karen.
It just isn't worth it.
570
00:30:27,826 --> 00:30:29,885
What isn't worth it?
George Bassett?
571
00:30:29,961 --> 00:30:32,691
Oh, come on now,
don't put that on me.
572
00:30:32,764 --> 00:30:35,699
I'm sorry. But you
do think he's innocent, don't you?
573
00:30:35,767 --> 00:30:37,860
He's an unwitting
accomplice.
574
00:30:37,936 --> 00:30:39,836
Which makes him
innocent.
575
00:30:39,904 --> 00:30:42,805
Look, I'm
a public defender,
576
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:44,842
and my caseload
includes a lot of people
577
00:30:44,909 --> 00:30:46,843
that the system is
really ripping off.
578
00:30:46,911 --> 00:30:49,243
And I was bugged that
I even got assigned
579
00:30:49,314 --> 00:30:51,680
such a deserving loser
as George Bassett.
580
00:30:51,749 --> 00:30:54,718
I mean, I really
believed he was guilty.
581
00:30:54,786 --> 00:30:56,310
You put up
a good defense.
582
00:30:56,387 --> 00:30:57,411
No.
583
00:30:57,488 --> 00:31:00,082
He got due process
and that's all.
584
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:02,823
Look, what
I'm trying to say is,
585
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:06,125
I'd like to help you
on this. We could work together.
586
00:31:06,798 --> 00:31:08,993
You could lose your job.
587
00:31:09,067 --> 00:31:12,161
If I can lose my job
for trying to prove my client's innocence,
588
00:31:12,237 --> 00:31:14,068
then it isn't
worth much.
589
00:31:14,138 --> 00:31:16,038
You could lose your life.
590
00:31:16,107 --> 00:31:17,699
With you around?
591
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:20,242
I gotta tell you, Karen,
I am nowhere on this thing.
592
00:31:20,311 --> 00:31:22,211
Will you stick with it?
593
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:27,447
You sure
this is the place?
594
00:31:27,518 --> 00:31:29,509
Yeah. 29, Cove Road.
595
00:31:30,255 --> 00:31:31,347
Okay.
596
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:38,886
How's it handle?
597
00:31:38,963 --> 00:31:40,487
Oh, no guts.
Lousy front end.
598
00:31:40,565 --> 00:31:42,328
The mechanic
really worked it over.
599
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,594
Perfect!
600
00:31:43,668 --> 00:31:45,932
Now, let's go get
good old George Bassett
601
00:31:46,004 --> 00:31:48,837
and put this thing
on ice once and for all.
602
00:32:07,058 --> 00:32:10,118
I knew Mr. Rockford would
come through. Franny!
603
00:32:11,362 --> 00:32:13,227
This lady works
for Mr. Rockford.
604
00:32:13,298 --> 00:32:16,859
He's cracked the case.
He wants to see me at The Ramp right away!
605
00:32:16,935 --> 00:32:19,460
Mr. Rockford didn't
have a secretary.
606
00:32:20,204 --> 00:32:22,434
I'm not his secretary,
Mrs. Bassett.
607
00:32:22,507 --> 00:32:26,341
I'm one of his operatives.
He sent me out to pick up your husband
608
00:32:26,411 --> 00:32:28,470
so he can verify
his theory of time
609
00:32:28,546 --> 00:32:30,776
relative to
the distance ratio.
610
00:32:30,982 --> 00:32:32,677
And I am running
a little late.
611
00:32:32,750 --> 00:32:34,650
What're we waiting for?
612
00:32:35,853 --> 00:32:38,583
But you remember
what the judge said
613
00:32:38,656 --> 00:32:40,556
when he granted bail.
614
00:32:40,625 --> 00:32:43,389
Are you really
sure you ought to be going to a bar?
615
00:32:43,461 --> 00:32:46,521
Franny, there's
nothing to worry about.
616
00:32:46,597 --> 00:32:49,532
I've been on the wagon
a whole nine days now!
617
00:33:18,730 --> 00:33:20,755
Come on.
618
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:54,695
Hey, watch it!
Get me out of here!
619
00:34:11,516 --> 00:34:13,507
Jim, what is...
Don't ask.
620
00:34:14,018 --> 00:34:15,417
I'll tell you one
thing, though,
621
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:17,852
if my dad wasn't
such a lousy handyman,
622
00:34:17,922 --> 00:34:19,480
I'd have an
air-conditioned head.
623
00:34:19,557 --> 00:34:21,149
Who is that?
Oh, it's one of the guys
624
00:34:21,225 --> 00:34:22,487
that jumped me in
the underground garage.
625
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,255
Let's see if we
can get him inside. Help me.
626
00:34:24,328 --> 00:34:26,592
Come on, Mary.
Here we go.
627
00:34:37,975 --> 00:34:41,968
I sure never thought
I'd be sitting in this place drinking coffee.
628
00:34:43,414 --> 00:34:45,882
What do you think
has happened to Mr. Rockford?
629
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:48,544
Oh, he had to
pick up Mr. Noble first,
630
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:50,721
Mr. Rockford's
chief operative,
631
00:34:50,788 --> 00:34:52,983
and then they were going
to the D. A.'s office
632
00:34:53,057 --> 00:34:54,319
to try and
convince Wheeler
633
00:34:54,392 --> 00:34:56,826
to come here
for the demonstration.
634
00:34:58,129 --> 00:34:59,926
I sure owe that man a lot.
635
00:34:59,997 --> 00:35:01,464
Mr. Rockford?
636
00:35:01,632 --> 00:35:03,463
Is there a Bonnie in here?
637
00:35:03,534 --> 00:35:05,593
Yes! Excuse me.
638
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:10,640
Here you go.
639
00:35:11,843 --> 00:35:12,969
Hello.
640
00:35:13,044 --> 00:35:15,342
Yeah, we've been
here ten minutes.
641
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:20,312
Look, I can't handle
him alone, now get over here!
642
00:35:21,319 --> 00:35:24,618
He won't drink the coffee.
He wants another bourbon.
643
00:35:26,791 --> 00:35:27,985
Okay.
644
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:29,626
Make it fast.
645
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:32,496
Double bourbon, please.
646
00:35:35,867 --> 00:35:39,598
Oh, go a little
easy on it, honey. This isn't our first stop.
647
00:35:44,675 --> 00:35:46,142
That was Mr. Rockford.
648
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:47,302
And?
649
00:35:47,378 --> 00:35:49,278
He did it, Mr. Bassett.
650
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:52,408
He convinced the D.A.
to open a new investigation.
651
00:35:52,483 --> 00:35:55,475
You mean I'm out of it?
I'm out of this mess?
652
00:35:55,553 --> 00:35:57,350
You're on your way.
Phew.
653
00:35:57,421 --> 00:36:01,016
Oh, the D.A. said
you'd have to do a couple of weeks in detox.
654
00:36:01,092 --> 00:36:03,458
Well, that's great
'cause I'm not drinking anyway.
655
00:36:03,528 --> 00:36:04,893
Well, I am!
656
00:36:05,363 --> 00:36:07,957
I know what
Mr. Rockford went through to pull this off.
657
00:36:08,032 --> 00:36:09,056
Yeah.
658
00:36:09,133 --> 00:36:11,226
Believe me,
it's a real triumph.
659
00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:13,133
He and Mr. Noble
will be over in a few minutes,
660
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:15,468
and they'll explain
all the details.
661
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:17,269
But, as far
as I'm concerned,
662
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:20,174
the celebration starts
right now.
663
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,714
Oh, I'm sorry.
664
00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:26,340
I didn't think.
665
00:36:26,884 --> 00:36:30,012
Oh, no, that's all right.
It really doesn't bother me. Honest.
666
00:36:30,087 --> 00:36:31,179
Are you sure?
667
00:36:31,255 --> 00:36:32,813
Yeah. I'm sure.
668
00:36:38,496 --> 00:36:40,293
Let me out!
Let me out!
669
00:36:40,364 --> 00:36:41,763
Who killed Betsy Pruitt?
670
00:36:41,832 --> 00:36:43,823
Let me out!
I can't breathe!
671
00:36:43,901 --> 00:36:45,869
Who killed Betsy Pruitt?
672
00:36:46,871 --> 00:36:51,433
You know, Gene Krupa
was always a big idol of mine when I was a kid.
673
00:36:51,509 --> 00:36:54,103
I'm pretty sure
that I remember some of those great licks.
674
00:36:54,178 --> 00:36:56,976
I think Cherokee
went something like this.
675
00:36:58,849 --> 00:37:00,476
Cut it out! Cut it out!
676
00:37:00,551 --> 00:37:01,711
I swear I'll kill you!
677
00:37:01,786 --> 00:37:04,277
And then there was
Stompin' At The Savoy, remember that?
678
00:37:06,190 --> 00:37:08,681
I'm getting sick!
I'm gonna throw up!
679
00:37:08,759 --> 00:37:10,522
Then who killed her?
680
00:37:11,996 --> 00:37:13,361
Al Corbett.
681
00:37:15,833 --> 00:37:17,391
All right.
682
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:22,300
Here we go.
683
00:37:30,448 --> 00:37:35,010
Now, what was Betsy,
the lookout at The Off Ramp Bar, huh?
684
00:37:37,188 --> 00:37:39,122
Do you want to wear
that thing again...
685
00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:41,522
No, no, no, no!
...until your memory comes back?
686
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,028
No, I was the lookout.
687
00:37:45,596 --> 00:37:48,793
She drove the other car
that forced him to swerve.
688
00:37:49,100 --> 00:37:52,695
She also did
the research to find the perfect drunk for it.
689
00:37:52,770 --> 00:37:55,705
But it was Corbett
who planned it all. For Horvath.
690
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:58,970
Horvath, huh?
What did he have against his secretary?
691
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:00,340
No, no.
692
00:38:00,444 --> 00:38:01,672
Not him.
693
00:38:01,746 --> 00:38:04,647
We're working for
the older brother, Martin.
694
00:38:04,882 --> 00:38:08,318
He keeps Corbett's
PI firm on retainer.
695
00:38:08,853 --> 00:38:11,219
We do all kinds
of things for him, odd jobs...
696
00:38:11,289 --> 00:38:13,621
All right, all right,
but what did Martin
697
00:38:13,691 --> 00:38:16,319
have against
Arthur's secretary? And make it fast, huh?
698
00:38:16,394 --> 00:38:19,124
I'm getting the urge
to play Big Noise from Winnetka.
699
00:38:19,196 --> 00:38:21,460
She was having
an affair with Arthur.
700
00:38:21,532 --> 00:38:23,762
Well, anyway,
the affair went sour
701
00:38:23,834 --> 00:38:26,166
and she started
blackmailing him.
702
00:38:26,370 --> 00:38:28,861
That's when Martin
called Corbett in
703
00:38:28,939 --> 00:38:31,032
and they decided
to kill her.
704
00:38:31,108 --> 00:38:33,440
Now that's it!
Honest! That's all!
705
00:38:33,511 --> 00:38:35,274
Why was she
blackmailing Arthur?
706
00:38:35,346 --> 00:38:37,439
I don't know!
I swear I don't know!
707
00:38:37,515 --> 00:38:39,073
Corbett probably does.
708
00:38:39,150 --> 00:38:40,742
Where's Corbett?
709
00:38:40,951 --> 00:38:43,249
He's with George Bassett
by now.
710
00:38:43,821 --> 00:38:47,257
They're gonna
take him to The Ramp Bar, get him drunk and kill him.
711
00:38:47,325 --> 00:38:48,690
I gotta get over there.
712
00:38:48,759 --> 00:38:50,090
Oh, look,
I hate to say this,
713
00:38:50,161 --> 00:38:52,561
but that wasn't the most
admissible confession I've ever witnessed.
714
00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:54,029
Confession?
What confession?
715
00:38:54,098 --> 00:38:56,191
I haven't confessed
to anything!
716
00:38:56,267 --> 00:38:57,859
You know how
to handle a gun?
717
00:38:57,935 --> 00:38:58,959
Point and shoot,
right?
718
00:38:59,036 --> 00:39:00,469
That's right.
If he gets salty,
719
00:39:00,538 --> 00:39:01,903
you get on the phone,
call the police.
720
00:39:01,972 --> 00:39:05,408
They'll be here
to pick this turkey up in five minutes.
721
00:39:13,517 --> 00:39:16,680
Are you sure this
doesn't bother you, Mr. Bassett?
722
00:39:16,921 --> 00:39:18,582
Oh, yeah, I'm sure.
723
00:39:21,926 --> 00:39:24,121
Well, I'll have one
little pull with you.
724
00:39:24,195 --> 00:39:25,628
I mean, what would
that hurt, right?
725
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:26,890
Right.
726
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:34,962
No!
727
00:39:36,941 --> 00:39:39,466
I'm sorry,
it's just I... I've...
728
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:42,808
I got a real
problem with this and I gotta face it.
729
00:39:42,913 --> 00:39:45,404
I'm not gonna
face it right here, so I better leave.
730
00:39:45,483 --> 00:39:49,715
Oh... Mr. Noble,
what happened?
731
00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:51,311
Where's Mr...
We got some real big trouble.
732
00:39:51,389 --> 00:39:53,050
What do you mean trouble?
Where's Mr. Rockford?
733
00:39:53,124 --> 00:39:54,352
We were jumped!
They know Rockford's
734
00:39:54,425 --> 00:39:56,325
the only one who
can testify against them.
735
00:39:56,394 --> 00:39:58,055
What've they done to him?
Said they were gonna take
736
00:39:58,129 --> 00:39:59,528
him up to Decker's Point,
get rid of him.
737
00:39:59,597 --> 00:40:01,656
Who did?
We better call the cops!
738
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,029
I did! They said
they'll roll a unit,
739
00:40:03,100 --> 00:40:04,658
but I don't know how
long it'll take 'em.
740
00:40:04,735 --> 00:40:07,260
There's a 40-car pileup
on the Foothill Freeway.
741
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:09,670
And they probably won't
be able to spring a unit for at least an hour.
742
00:40:09,740 --> 00:40:11,230
Well, we gotta
do something!
743
00:40:11,308 --> 00:40:12,434
What?
744
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:14,944
Well, I'll tell
you the truth, pal.
745
00:40:15,112 --> 00:40:16,841
I got a wife
and a couple of kids, you know?
746
00:40:16,914 --> 00:40:18,211
Oh, sure.
747
00:40:18,983 --> 00:40:20,041
I'll go myself.
748
00:40:20,117 --> 00:40:22,176
No, you stay put,
I'll go.
749
00:40:22,953 --> 00:40:24,443
How many were there
and what are they driving?
750
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:26,114
Three or four
in a big, green car.
751
00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:28,283
That's all I need to know.
752
00:40:29,627 --> 00:40:31,424
You should have
stopped him.
753
00:40:31,495 --> 00:40:33,929
He's in no condition
to be driving.
754
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:37,628
But you heard him.
755
00:40:37,701 --> 00:40:40,101
He's driving up
to Decker's Point.
756
00:40:40,237 --> 00:40:42,364
You should have
stopped him.
757
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:30,319
Has George Bassett
been in here today?
758
00:41:30,387 --> 00:41:31,445
Who?
759
00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:35,158
He was sitting over there
with a couple of people. Just left.
760
00:41:35,226 --> 00:41:36,591
Do you know
where they went?
761
00:41:36,660 --> 00:41:38,321
Well, he was on
some kind of a toot,
762
00:41:38,395 --> 00:41:40,590
driving up to
Decker's Point.
763
00:41:40,664 --> 00:41:42,188
Do you have
a phone I can use?
764
00:41:42,266 --> 00:41:43,733
Yeah, sure.
765
00:41:44,268 --> 00:41:45,360
Um...
766
00:41:57,381 --> 00:41:58,973
Come on, come on!
767
00:41:59,583 --> 00:42:01,414
Hey, Dennis, this is Jim.
768
00:42:01,485 --> 00:42:03,680
There's gonna be a killing
up at Decker's Point.
769
00:42:03,754 --> 00:42:05,278
Now I want you to
call the nearest station
770
00:42:05,356 --> 00:42:07,756
and get somebody up there
as soon as you can, and I mean soon!
771
00:42:07,825 --> 00:42:09,884
I'll try to stall
them as long as I can.
772
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,086
Yeah, right.
773
00:42:11,562 --> 00:42:12,586
Thanks, pal.
774
00:42:20,571 --> 00:42:21,970
There he is.
775
00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,633
We'll nail him
when he hits the crest.
776
00:42:24,808 --> 00:42:27,572
There's a bottle
in the glove compartment.
777
00:42:27,711 --> 00:42:30,475
He'll just be another
drunk in a canyon.
778
00:42:43,060 --> 00:42:46,086
Okay, let's
drop-kick this deuce into the next canyon.
779
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:56,803
It didn't go over!
I know.
780
00:42:57,708 --> 00:42:59,835
One more push
ought to do it.
781
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:18,990
Let's go!
782
00:43:50,327 --> 00:43:52,318
Easy, George.
I'll help you.
783
00:43:58,335 --> 00:44:00,633
Arthur Horvath
got so mad when he heard
784
00:44:00,704 --> 00:44:02,194
Martin had his
girlfriend killed,
785
00:44:02,272 --> 00:44:03,899
he hasn't stopped
talking since.
786
00:44:03,974 --> 00:44:06,135
Well, why was
she blackmailing Martin?
787
00:44:06,210 --> 00:44:07,677
Martin handled
the legal work
788
00:44:07,745 --> 00:44:09,337
for a ring of
professional thieves.
789
00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:11,176
When Betsy Pruitt
found out about it,
790
00:44:11,248 --> 00:44:13,978
Martin called in
Corbett for a little preventive homicide.
791
00:44:14,051 --> 00:44:15,951
Nice guys.
792
00:44:16,887 --> 00:44:19,720
Oh, Mr. Rockford,
before we go,
793
00:44:19,790 --> 00:44:20,882
about your fee...
794
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:22,220
Oh, hey, hey,
don't worry.
795
00:44:22,292 --> 00:44:24,419
You'll pay me,
I'll see to that,
796
00:44:24,495 --> 00:44:27,259
but after you get
your life a little more reorganized.
797
00:44:27,331 --> 00:44:29,822
Well, you saved my bacon,
mister, and I'm grateful.
798
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:31,060
Yeah, I know, George.
799
00:44:31,135 --> 00:44:34,332
No, I mean it. I'm never
gonna touch another drop as long as I live.
800
00:44:34,405 --> 00:44:35,963
One day
at a time, huh?
801
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,804
Well, that's what they
say at the meetings. One day at a time.
802
00:44:38,876 --> 00:44:40,537
You're a saint.
803
00:44:41,912 --> 00:44:44,073
Thank you for
all you've done.
804
00:44:44,148 --> 00:44:46,116
George is very grateful.
805
00:44:46,183 --> 00:44:47,650
Fran's right.
806
00:44:48,052 --> 00:44:50,885
Well, we'll say goodbye,
and thanks for coming over.
807
00:44:50,954 --> 00:44:52,148
Thank you.
Good night, George.
808
00:44:52,222 --> 00:44:54,122
My dad
fixed the door.
809
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:57,660
Thanks again.
810
00:44:58,228 --> 00:45:00,253
One day
at a time, George.
811
00:45:03,033 --> 00:45:04,830
Nice people, really.
812
00:45:05,369 --> 00:45:06,893
Yeah, they are.
813
00:45:08,005 --> 00:45:09,495
You know something,
814
00:45:09,740 --> 00:45:12,208
I deal with
juries all the time,
815
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:15,712
and a lot of jurors
are really vacant in the courtroom.
816
00:45:16,747 --> 00:45:19,648
Well, they're thinking
about something else.
817
00:45:20,117 --> 00:45:22,085
To find someone like you
818
00:45:22,386 --> 00:45:24,911
who really takes
jury duty seriously,
819
00:45:25,522 --> 00:45:27,513
it's a pretty rare thing.
820
00:45:27,791 --> 00:45:30,954
Well, you know,
it's a couple of weeks out of your life.
821
00:45:31,028 --> 00:45:32,757
It's no big deal.
822
00:45:33,430 --> 00:45:35,398
When you think about it,
823
00:45:35,466 --> 00:45:39,425
you know people's lives
are being decided down in that courtroom.
824
00:45:41,538 --> 00:45:44,507
If I could tell you
the number of people
825
00:45:44,575 --> 00:45:46,236
who try to
weasel out of it...
826
00:45:46,310 --> 00:45:49,939
Boy, you know, I think
that really stinks.
827
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:56,109
Hey, you know,
I'm hungry.
828
00:45:56,186 --> 00:45:59,053
I could go for dinner,
a couple of cocktails. How about you?
829
00:45:59,123 --> 00:46:00,715
Well, thank you.
830
00:46:00,791 --> 00:46:02,486
I think that
would be very nice.
831
00:46:02,559 --> 00:46:04,117
All right, all right.
832
00:46:04,194 --> 00:46:05,491
Hey, do you
like football?
833
00:46:05,562 --> 00:46:07,962
I got a couple of
tickets to the UCLA game on Saturday.
834
00:46:08,031 --> 00:46:09,862
Ah, my alma mater.
835
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:11,798
Actually, I hate football...
Oh.
836
00:46:11,869 --> 00:46:15,100
...but it might be
very nice also.
837
00:46:15,172 --> 00:46:17,231
Oh, sonny!
You're on.
838
00:46:17,307 --> 00:46:18,831
Sonny!
Oh, yeah, Dad.
839
00:46:18,909 --> 00:46:19,933
Open the door.
840
00:46:20,010 --> 00:46:22,638
Hey. Yeah, hey, come...
Oh, give me it. Give me that.
841
00:46:22,713 --> 00:46:23,771
Come on in.
842
00:46:23,847 --> 00:46:25,838
Oh, Dad, this is
Karen Hathaway.
843
00:46:25,916 --> 00:46:27,941
This is my dad,
Joseph Rockford. Hi.
844
00:46:28,018 --> 00:46:30,953
Karen was
the public defender on George Bassett's case.
845
00:46:31,021 --> 00:46:32,852
Oh, is that so?
They were nice folks.
846
00:46:32,923 --> 00:46:34,390
I'm glad it turned
out okay for them.
847
00:46:34,458 --> 00:46:35,686
Hey, what's with
the toolbox?
848
00:46:35,759 --> 00:46:38,319
Well, I was down at
the Do-Right Builder's supply
849
00:46:38,395 --> 00:46:39,726
and I seen they
was having a sale
850
00:46:39,797 --> 00:46:42,027
on these here
smoke detectors.
851
00:46:42,533 --> 00:46:44,262
Did you get
the new hinges?
852
00:46:44,334 --> 00:46:46,063
Oh, no, they didn't
have the right size.
853
00:46:46,136 --> 00:46:48,161
You know, I was talking
to a salesman down there,
854
00:46:48,238 --> 00:46:49,705
and he was telling me
how people are always
855
00:46:49,773 --> 00:46:51,365
getting trapped
by the flames.
856
00:46:51,441 --> 00:46:53,875
Burned in their bed
or overcome by smoke.
857
00:46:53,944 --> 00:46:55,036
So I got four of them.
858
00:46:55,112 --> 00:46:56,670
These two are for you
and I got two for me.
859
00:46:56,747 --> 00:46:59,375
Dad, I really
don't want any of these smoke detectors.
860
00:46:59,449 --> 00:47:01,212
I mean, really,
the place is too small.
861
00:47:01,285 --> 00:47:02,718
I'm gonna cook
bacon over there,
862
00:47:02,786 --> 00:47:04,048
they're both gonna go off.
863
00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:05,145
Did Jim here
ever tell you
864
00:47:05,222 --> 00:47:07,383
how he almost
didn't sit on that jury?
865
00:47:07,457 --> 00:47:08,446
No.
866
00:47:08,525 --> 00:47:10,789
Oh, he was
screaming like a banshee.
867
00:47:10,861 --> 00:47:14,854
He was telling about
all the important work he couldn't give up,
868
00:47:15,032 --> 00:47:17,500
and, of course,
there was that fishing trip, too.
869
00:47:17,568 --> 00:47:19,195
Dad, now there's something
I want to tell you.
870
00:47:19,269 --> 00:47:21,294
Are you listening to me?
Can I get your attention?
871
00:47:21,371 --> 00:47:23,532
I do not want any
holes in the ceiling. Do you hear me?
872
00:47:23,607 --> 00:47:26,269
But Jim here,
he tried to get a note from his doctor
873
00:47:26,343 --> 00:47:29,312
saying it would be
bad for his back sitting in a jury box.
874
00:47:29,379 --> 00:47:32,212
An old war injury.
875
00:47:32,282 --> 00:47:35,809
Yeah, well,
I do have a bad back from Korea.
876
00:47:35,919 --> 00:47:37,477
I mean, there's nothing
strange about that.
877
00:47:37,554 --> 00:47:40,250
Oh, how terribly
awful for you.
878
00:47:40,991 --> 00:47:42,356
'Course,
when he did find out
879
00:47:42,426 --> 00:47:45,361
that he was gonna
have to sit in the jury anyway,
880
00:47:45,429 --> 00:47:47,329
you should have been here
to hear the yelling.
881
00:47:47,397 --> 00:47:50,924
He was stomping around
and kicking the bureau and...
882
00:47:51,001 --> 00:47:52,161
Yeah, Karen,
you want to go?
883
00:47:52,236 --> 00:47:54,101
The restaurant
up the highway is gonna be jammed.
884
00:47:54,171 --> 00:47:56,036
Oh, do you really
think we should?
885
00:47:56,106 --> 00:47:59,132
I mean, I'd hate
to think of your suffering in a booth
886
00:47:59,209 --> 00:48:00,733
with your back
in that condition.
887
00:48:00,811 --> 00:48:02,608
It don't bother him,
really.
888
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:04,237
It don't bother him
at all.
889
00:48:04,314 --> 00:48:07,181
He got it falling
out of the back end of a truck in school.
890
00:48:07,251 --> 00:48:08,718
That's how he got it.
891
00:48:09,286 --> 00:48:11,447
'Course, what really
turned Jim around
892
00:48:11,521 --> 00:48:13,113
was when I
explained to him
893
00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:15,818
how his very own
ancestors fought
894
00:48:15,993 --> 00:48:18,962
and struggled for others
to have the right to vote.
895
00:48:19,029 --> 00:48:21,156
Why, do you know
that Josiah Rockford,
896
00:48:21,231 --> 00:48:22,892
that's Jim's
great uncle,
897
00:48:22,966 --> 00:48:25,867
he was even wounded in
the Spanish-American War
898
00:48:25,936 --> 00:48:27,335
fighting for
the rights of others
899
00:48:27,404 --> 00:48:30,032
to vote and sit
on juries and so forth like that?
900
00:48:30,107 --> 00:48:32,200
Now, of course,
if you can't vote because...
901
00:48:32,250 --> 00:48:36,800
