"What's new?" "You ready for this?" "I finally made it." "Tomorrow I report to the detective division." "Oh, that's great, Ken." "Congratulations." "Well, you know who I have to thank." "Sure, a lot of guys." "Mostly one guy, Joe." "If you hadn't showed up in a dark alley one rainy night, why, they'd be promoting a dead man." "You know, when a guy makes detective, he deserves 12-year-old Scotch, not this stuff I give to the paying customers." "(buzzing)" "I'll get it, Joe." "Thanks, Ken." "Move out!" "Out!" "Roarke..." "I thought you'd be alone." "You should be dead, Mannix." "That was supposed to be me, Art." "A combination of bad light and lousy thinking of the judge that cut Roarke loose on bail." "Yeah, I'd heard through the grapevine he was gunning for me." "I thought it was just talk." "What would you have done differently if you believed it?" "I don't know, Art." "Something." "It had to happen, Joe." "You spoiled a half a million dollar heist when you nailed Roarke in that getaway car." "He was just trying to make points with his pals." "How do I explain that to Ken Gordon?" "All right, get him out of here." "I..." "I'd like to see my lawyer." "Yeah, I know." "Thanks, man." "Joe?" "Yeah." "♪ ♪" "Joe?" "Joe?" "(moans quietly)" "I guess I didn't make it upstairs." "Is there anything I can do?" "(sighs deeply)" "No, Peggy." "It's all done." "There's nothing anyone could do." "I'll get the day started." "Peggy, uh, how old was he, 28?" "The news said he was 29." "Young for a detective." "Yeah, for a dead detective." "I'll take care of the flowers, Joe." "Oh, uh, Peggy," "Ken had a sister in, uh..." "Pittsburgh." "Maybe you can find out when she's coming in, meet the plane, huh?" "I'll be there." "(phone rings)" "Mr. Mannix's office." "Well, you can pretty well guess." "I'll see." "For me?" "Art Malcolm." "Hello, Art." "Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." "You did?" "About what?" "And what do you make of it, Art?" "Yeah, I'll, uh, I'll be right over there, soon as I get cleaned up." "Roarke, he says he want to talk." "That doesn't sound like him." "I know." "What does he want to talk to you about?" "He didn't say." "Joe, you know he's capable of doing anything." "Yeah, don't worry, Peggy." "He's gonna pay." "How could I represent a client so dumb that he would go after Joe Mannix." "Stop crying." "You're being well paid." "I suppose you instructed your client not to talk?" "That would depend of what you wanted to discuss, Lieutenant." "I won't permit him to incriminate himself, no." "He won't have to." "He killed a police officer in cold blood." "You don't think he had the right to defend himself." "That's your plea, self-defense?" "That's a little far out, isn't it?" "Why is that?" "Mr. Roarke went to Mr. Mannix's office to chat about the circumstance of their last meeting." "The door was opened by an officer who immediately drew his gun." "It was still in his holster after the shooting." "There was nobody present to see you put it back in the officer's holster after the shooting." "Only me." "I saw that." "Save it for the jury, Roarke." "You're going to need all the defense you can get." "Hold it, Joe." "You sent word down that you were ready to talk." "So far I haven't heard anything worth the elevator ride." "You change your mind?" "What's that all about?" "You didn't tell me." "Cool it." "I want to make a deal." "No deals." "Oh, sure." "Yeah, sure." "I understand, Lieutenant, you're lily white, but juries are paid to listen." "And don't you forget where you heard what I'm going to tell you." "Look, I don't know what you're getting at, but shut up." "There was a judge that disappeared about a year ago." "Remember?" "Judge Bishop?" "Yeah, that's the one." "Yeah." "What about him?" "I know where he's buried." "ATTORNEY:" "You must be out of your mind." "You want to be charged with that, too?" "I wasn't even around at the time." "A friend of mine told me." "No names, Lieutenant, or I'm a dead man." "Victor, listen, you're confessing to withholding evidence." "Sure." "But maybe I'll buy a little consideration from the jury." "Maybe they'll understand that, at the time, I was too scared to talk." "So I have this on my conscience, and I want to get it straight." "That's stupid." "You're only buying yourself a cell eight feet by ten." "Lieutenant, do I have to listen to this clown?" "I'll answer that for you, Lieutenant." "You get yourself another lawyer." "(tires squealing)" "Are you sure this is the place?" "There's the fire road." "All right, Dale." "MANNIX:" "What did your friend have to do with this, the one that told you about it?" "ROARKE:" "He drove the car." "That's all I'm going to say now." "In court, it could be different." "That should be it right there." "He said they buried him to the left of a small pine."

"And he wants a jet on the east landing strip of the Burbank Airport, fueled and ready to take off." "What about the hostages?" "Soon as he's on board the jet, he'll let them go free." "Sure."

"Long as you're going to be in there for a while." "Oh, sure, war hero." "What you said about Sarah-- that's just bluff, isn't it?" "Yeah, pop." "You know how it is."

"Well, that's what she's getting, ain't she?" "Some man talk." "That lawyer fella told me I didn't have to do anything but look the other way when the helicopter landed." "He didn't say anything about a gang holing up here." "Oh, I get it." "You figure with all your extra inconvenience, uh, you should get a bigger share of the take, right?" "No." "Not for me." "I only got into this for Sarah and the boy." "They've been having a pretty hard time of it." "The pension isn't enough to raise the kid and educate him." "Didn't you come in here for your pipe and tobacco?" "Hey, pop, you got a problem;" "I'll sleep on it." "Hey, Grandpa, how come you haven't eaten any of your food yet?" "Just not hungry."

"Sure they are." "And tell them how you lost your leg." "How did it happen, Mr. Fogerty?" "Land mine, Guadalcanal." "Career Marine?" "Was." "But you keep your hand in with guns, huh?" "Well, I do a little hunting up in the hills, mostly quail." "Quail?" "Shotgun?" "Yep." "The one he's got." "You, uh, wouldn't happen to have a shell around, would you?" "Come along with me, son." "Let's play a little checkers." "There you are, Mrs. Toller." "Thank you." "I suppose you'll wind up with some country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States, right?" "Aren't too many of those left." "Lebanon, Syria, Algeria." "How are you on languages?" "I speak American." "What are you going to do when you run out of money?" "You gonna say, "This is a stickup" in Arabic?" "That's funny." "I need one shotgun shell." "Where does your father keep his ammunition?" "The dresser in his room, in with the linen." "Line.." "like dish towels?" "Roarke's in there." "I've got to have it." "What's on your mind, lady?" "I need a clean dish towel." "They're in my father's room." "Now, you know the boss is asleep in there." "I'll be very quiet." "Leave the door open." "Leave the door open." "Hey, what you doing?" "I had to get a clean dish towel." "Oh, yeah?" "You come into a man's bedroom, you ought to be a little more friendly." "Roarke?" "Leave her alone." "I've really had it with you, Mannix." "I've had it with you." "(phone ringing)" "Vic?" "Yeah?" "Oh, hello, Lieutenant." "Yes, this is Roarke." "Yeah." "Yeah, right." "Thanks, yeah." "(Roarke whoops)" "(laughing)" "That was the lieutenant." "And he's got the money, and we got a jet ready and waiting and warming up for us over in Burbank!" "(laughs)" "You know what that means, Mannix?" "It means you can start counting the seconds." "All right, that's it." "Put the bag down, Lieutenant." "There's just one question." "What about the hostages?" "Like I told you, soon as I'm on a jet, I'll let them go." "I got no reason to harm those people." "Except Mannix?" "We'll play that one by ear, okay?" "Chase, get the money." "All right, warm her up." "Taking off as soon as I've made a count." "Inside." "(helicopter engine starts, whirrs)" "Okay, Mannix, right there." "Okay, you two, I want you right over there." "Come on, let's move." "Lady, bring me a pencil and some paper." "Count this." "Where's the kid?" "Taking a nap." "I locked the bathroom door." "Pop, come here." "Well, what's this for?" "That's for renting the hall." "20 bucks, okay?" "Mr. Fogerty, I've been wondering something." "How could Roarke have two getaway cars stashed up here, unless you were in on the deal?" "Dad, tell him he's wrong." "You've been working all along with this... this animal?" "Hey, lady, I mean..." "what do you got against money?" "Here's a half a million dollars." "You ever seen anything so beautiful?" "I only did it for you, honey-- for you and Chuck." "How else can I get my hands on some real money?" "Oh, Sarah, listen to me..." "Hey, lady, can you bring the kid out here, please?" "What do you want him for?" "Oh, when I leave here, you two are coming with me." "Please take me and leave him." "I'm sorry, I can't do that." "I need the both of you so nobody gets fancy with me." "As soon as I get to where I'm going, don't worry," "I'll have no further use for you, dear." "So the both of you can come home safe and sound, okay?" "Now, go get the kid and bring him out here." "You go in get him, or do I have to drag him out?" "Get him!" "You won't hurt him?" "You'll send them back?" "You meant that, didn't you?" "You heard what I said, pop." "Chuck?" "Come on, Chuck, we're leaving." "Are we going home?" "Yes, darling, we are." "Everything will be all right." "I promise." "Well, what do you say, Chase?" "It's all good, daddy." "Okay."

"Come on, let's go." "Where's my gun?" "ROARKE:" "Now what?" "Where's my gun?" "Where'd you leave it?" "I put it on that table." "It was right here." "Hey, pop... where do you keep your shotgun shells?" "I'm asking you a question." "In the bedroom." "Lady... is that a fact?" "Lieutenant, stand up." "Get up!" "All right, Mannix." "I'm sure you wouldn't want to lose your fine friend in about five seconds." "So take the kid's gun and put it on the table." "Very carefully." "Pick up the gun, kid." "What'd you say?" "Thanks." "You tell Philips to bring the chopper around in back." "It'll be safer there for a takeoff." "Kid, I think it's terrible a big lug like that takes your gun." "I think you should teach him a lesson, don't you?" "And the way to teach him a lesson is to give him a hit." "Now, you take your gun, and you hit him with one of those marbles."
