The Rockford Files (1974) s01e15 Episode Script

1
Do you need a permit
to carry a thing like this?
I paint what I feel.
You must not feel well.
You can tell Dick Stockton
for me he's wasting his time.
I don't know the girl.
When it comes to political sabotage,
I can duck and throw mud with the best.
Look out!
They're looking
for his body now.
If he's dead,
somebody murdered him.
This is Jim Rockford,
At the tone, leave your name
and message.
I'll get back to you.
Mr. Rockford,
you don't know me
but I'd like to hire you.
Could you call me at
My name is,
Never mind. Forget it.
Where you headed?
Los Angeles.
Good. So am I. Tired of
talking to myself. Hop in.
I'm Aura Lee Benton.
Aura Lee.
It was many and many a year
ago In a kingdom by the sea
Where a maiden there lived
whom you may know
By the name of Aura Lee
My apologies
to Edgar Allan Poe.
Are you a lover of poetry?
Sometimes, between where I
came from and where I'm going.
Listen, I was thinking of stopping
up near Santa Barbara for a bite.
Would you care to join me?
I'd like that.
Good.
You're overdue somewhere.
An anxious wife.
No.
It's okay. I understand.
Look out!
Is he dead?
No, thank God. But we'd
better go for an ambulance.
Shouldn't I stay with him?
Get back in the car, will you?
Please, will you
get in the car?
And get out of sight.
Get your head down.
There's been an accident.
A man's badly hurt.
I'm gonna drive for an ambulance.
Would you watch him, please?
I don't understand.
Why didn't you want me to stay?
All right. Look, please, it's
You're right, I am married.
Please understand
in my line of work
I can't afford to have
anybody know
that you and I were together.
Please understand that.
I'll have to let you off up here alone.
I know you'll be all right.
You need money?
Do you need anything?
No. Don't worry. I'll be okay.
Operator. Now listen to me very carefully.
This is an emergency.
I have just accidentally
run over a man
about a mile south
of the Ventura County line.
Now, he needs a doctor and an ambulance
immediately. I'll be waiting there.
This is State Senator
Evan Murdock.
But wait till you
taste these sandwiches.
Got this recipe from a little
Scandinavian cookbook.
They're sardine sandwiches.
Wait a minute.
When you said lunch, I thought you meant
a restaurant, with you paying the bill.
I did sort of make it sound like that,
I confess. But this is less expensive.
And it gets us even for the time
you asked me to go out to dinner
and then stuck a fishing pole in my hand.
Remember that little disaster?
So you had bass and I
caught a-- A flounder.
Yes.
They inhabit the very bottom.
They cruise around the kelp
beds like nomadic scavengers.
I usually throw them back
but since it was getting late
and I didn't have to eat it
Bet you really qualify as an
enlightened man. I gotta give you that.
What's this?
That's the remainder of what
I owe you for last year.
The first check you ever
wrote me came back six times.
By the time that dog cleared it,
it could get to the bank all by itself.
This one's okay.
Okay.
Why?
You mean,
why pay it all off right now? Yeah.
The reason for that is because
I want to hire you again.
I figured if I didn't clear up my old
account, that you wouldn't go for it.
You know,
I still won't go for it.
But, Jim, I can afford you this time.
Sure you can.
That's why we're having a picnic
instead of a real expensive lunch.
Don't you even want to listen
to what it is I want you to do?
No. Now, where are we
gonna eat this thing?
I'm supposed to go to a fashion show.
It's a mile from here.
We could sit in the back--
Nothing doing.
I know a place.
It's the only place in town
where I can stand eating
picnic lunches.
In fact, I kind of
enjoy it there.
Come on, you guys.
Hit one of these things, will you?
You know,
I made lunch, Jim.
All right. I'll have
a super sardine sandwich.
You cut the crust off?
Right. That's what the recipe
book told me I should do.
But I like the crust.
Jim, will you please listen
to what it is I have to say?
I think I've been
very patient.
I guess I put it off
as long as I can.
But just because I'm listening,
that's no sign I'm gonna take it.
Do you remember Aura Lee Benton?
Aura Lee?
She worked in my boutique.
She's young, pretty.
She was there two weeks ago, when you
picked me up for my dream date, remember?
Come on, Sara. That was a good fight.
It was a knockout in the fifth round.
Do you remember her?
Yeah.
What about her?
She's dead.
The police found her dead in her
apartment in Venice two days ago.
They said it was
an overdose of heroin
but I know
she never used narcotics.
What are you thinking?
If the cops are calling it an
OD, it was probably just that.
As I recall, that's pretty
much the position you took
when my father was murdered
but we ended up proving
who killed him.
If you think I'm gonna fall
for one of the--
Jim, I can pay you
this time. I have money.
How much is there?
$2,600.
Where did you get it?
That's the funny part about it.
I found it after she was murdered.
No. You mean, OD'd.
Let's not jump to conclusions.
I was cleaning out
the desk drawer
where she keeps some of her
personal things, and I found this.
This reminds me
of a magic act I saw once.
Only instead of
cash and cigars
this guy had little white
rabbits in his basket.
Sara, a lot of these guys
are dopers.
Now, at least most of them
have been busted.
They're part
of the drug culture.
She didn't use drugs, Jim.
Her parents are dead.
She had no family. Just me.
I want you to prove
she was murdered.
You must have
some employee's benefit plan.
It includes catching killers
and everything.
She was good for me.
And to me.
So you owe her.
You're chasing your tail, Jim.
This girl was new in town.
No family, no friends.
She gets lonely, pulls out the needle.
Goes for the long sleep.
You talk like
she had a steady habit.
According to this,
there were no needle marks.
If the kids kick the habit,
the needle marks clear up.
A few months later, they get on a
downer, start fixing again.
But the equipment we found in her
apartment had seen plenty of service.
And hers were
the only fingerprints on it.
Anaphylactic shock.
Too rich a dose?
Especially, if the girl's
system had never been drugged.
You're reaching.
Whose money are you wasting on this?
Probably my own.
Stop. Stop it. Get away from me.
Get away, puppy.
Abstract expressionism, right?
I don't label it.
I just
I feel it, you know.
Yeah.
You ever see her?
Yeah. Sure. She lived
in my apartment building.
You ever talk with her?
I hit on her
a couple times. Zero.
You ever see her with anybody?
Yeah, there was one dude with the car.
The car?
You a cop?
Would it make a difference?
Look, the chick's dead, you know.
I got no eyes to get involved.
How much?
$200.
I'll give you $10.
Deal.
The dude with the car?
Look, I don't know his name, okay?
He floats through here once in a while.
Maybe he's got a scam going
or something. I don't know.
He's 3 Mg guy.
flashy dresser.
Drives one of those
foreign jobs, baby blue.
The model?
No, I'm not into cars, you know.
Materialistic trap.
Right.
If you ever see him again,
would you get his license number?
I'd appreciate it if you'd give me a call.
Yeah, okay.
Hey, you forgot your painting.
Not yet, but I'm trying.
Hi. Hi.
You owe me $100.
That's for half a day of my time,
and the gas and shoe leather are for free.
You're trying to
tell me something?
Yeah. I agree with the police.
You're quitting.
Look, I've put out
some feelers.
If they don't start to pay
off, I can't take your money.
Hey, did you hear me? Honey?
I think you'd
better read this.
It came for Aura Lee
in the afternoon mail.
Don't you know it's against the
law to open other people's mail?
"Dear Aura Lee.
"It was a pleasant surprise to hear
from you and receive all that money.
If you ever pass here again,
I would like very much to see you. Oscar."
Oscar's, a little restaurant about
50 miles up the Coast Highway.
I looked it up in the phone book.
Did Aura Lee own a car?
She told me she was saving up for
one and suddenly lost interest
and said she hadn't
saved any money.
With $2,600 in her desk?
Do you like sand dabs Véronique?
We get along.
Good. I know where you can take me
for lunch after we go to Oscar's.
I might be able to help you.
It all depends.
Yeah? On what?
You got a portrait
of Andrew Jackson?
Maybe I could come across
with something.
Who knows?
How about Lincoln?
I'll tell you what.
Make it a Hamilton.
What are you two talking about?
Money.
If you could make soup like you
negotiate, this place would be packed.
Thank you. Hold it.
Go back and get another one.
Come on, take a seat.
Go ahead, sit down.
Here. Look,
what I meant was--
Try it. You ain't never gonna
taste any better.
You know the reason
this place stays empty?
It's in the middle of nowhere.
Listen, what about
this note?
You said she sent you
all that money.
How much money
are we talking about?
All that money? I said that 'cause all
I gave her was soup and a sandwich
and she sent me 3 Jackson.
That's MD.
Thanks. I was about to
fall behind there.
You happen to remember the
exact day she wandered in here?
It was about maybe
a month and a half ago,
and it wasn't day,
it was night.
And the reason I remember is
'cause I thought it was strange.
Yeah? Why?
Well, she couldn't have been
dropped off by somebody
who was turning off on the main highway.
Thank you.
'Cause there's no turnoff from
that road within 10 miles.
Damn, that's good!
Anyway, she seemed like
a sweet kid, so I fed her.
And pretty soon I got busy,
and she left with the
The lobster bisque.
How's that?
A fellow sitting in the corner
booth, he was having lobster bisque.
The guy she left with
you remember what he looked like,
what kind of car he was driving?
No, I don't. I was too busy.
Midweek I only got one girl on the job.
It was midweek?
Yeah, I guess it was.
Which night?
Who can remember?
Could have been any night,
except Saturday or Sunday.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the Hamilton.
Been waiting for you, man.
I called you over two hours ago.
Don't you ever check your service?
Now and then.
Do you need a permit
to carry a thing like this?
I told you, I paint what I feel.
You must not feel well.
Yeah, well, it's yours
for $50.
Why would I want to buy
a piece of junk like this?
Gratitude. See, I got the license
number of the dude you're looking for.
You know, it does have
a certain gross charm.
I thought you'd like it.
License is 811 QJK.
You realize, of course,
if you're scamming me
I'll climb your easel
and break all your brushes.
I'm just trying to
hang in, man.
Becker, here,
Hey, Becker.
Jim Rockford. I need a favor:
License number 811 QJK.
Name, address and rundown
on the guy who owns it.
Why should I give you that information?
I mean, it is against policy.
Because if I find out
who killed Aura Lee Benton
and I don't let you
in on it
you're gonna feel awful silly
reading about it in the papers.
811QJK.
I'll wait for your call.
Who is it?
LAPD, Lt. Rockford.
You Dirk Schaffer?
Yeah.
Look, I gave
at the office, pal.
That's great.
A real funny man.
I got my degree
in musical comedy wise guys.
Have you
got a warrant, pal?
I was hoping
I wouldn't need one.
Look, make it fast, will you?
I was just going out.
Lieutenant
Rockford. Lt. Rockford.
So, what is it? What?
Let's talk about
Aura Lee Benton.
I
don't know the lady.
According to our witness,
you do.
You were seen picking her up at her
apartment in Venice several times.
In Venice? Come on, buddy,
I don't move in that part of town.
There's no part of town
you don't move in.
It may make you happy to know you're the
best bunko artist in the city limits.
Bribery, extortion
What kind of scam were
you working with Aura Lee?
Look, you got a point to make,
make it or get out.
Aura Lee Benton was murdered.
It was meant to look like
an OD, but it was murder.
You're the only one
we can connect her with.
Look, you got no warrant,
right? So get out of here.
I got an attorney who wrote
the book on police harassment.
That's great.
That's really great.
You tell him to bone up
on a murder one charge, huh?
You're gonna choke on one.
Look, make it fast, will you?
I was just going out,.
Lieutenant Rockford.
Lt. Rockford.
So, what is it? What?
What did he say? Nothing.
He must have said something. You were
up there for at least five minutes.
He's your average,
clean-cut bunko creep.
Probably goes to a lot of
Humphrey Bogart movies.
He talks out of the side
of his mouth a lot
calls you "buddy" and "pal."
A real brass cupcake.
But he knew Aura Lee Benton.
He said that?
No, I said that.
Could I get you a beer, Dirk,
or some salted peanuts or something?
Look, make it fast, will you?
I was just going out,.
Lieutenant Rockford.
Lt. Rockford.
Sol lied a little.
Okay, now I'm gonna tell you how it
was with Aura Lee, Lieutenant, right?
I picked her up hitchhiking
on Sunset Boulevard one day.
Said she worked
in some kind of dress shop.
She was living in a one-room
hole in Venice. I liked her.
I took her to dinner a couple times,
but she turned out to be a squirrel.
That's not the way I heard it.
Yeah? Well, you heard wrong.
Said she had something going,
it was gonna make her a lot of bread.
Did she say what it was?
Then she asked me if I could
get her a couple of dime bags.
Said she was getting
strung out on the caper.
You didn't sell her any.
Hey, pal, she asked me for it.
There's a guy I know,
owed me a favor,
he slipped me
a couple of dime bags.
I gave them to her.
And she killed herself?
Those are the risks when you start
jamming a needle in your arm, pal.
So why tell me now?
Hey, look. I got a lot of good
things going in this town.
You keep walking around
pretending to be a cop
talking to the people
Ideal with, they get nervous.
They think maybe
I'm a bad risk.
Hurts my business,
so it's time for you to dummy up quick.
And if I don't dummy up?
..,going out,.
Lieutenant Rockford.
Lt. Rockford.
You made your point.
So, you think he was
telling the truth?
I said his story
had the ring of truth.
He admitted just enough to convince
me that all his moves made sense.
But then, he's a con artist.
So I'm not buying it, not yet.
I'll keep trying.
Wonderful. Where do we look?
We start back at square one.
Square one?
Yes. Square one is that stuff you
kept taking out of the picnic basket.
Let's go through it again.
I have been through that
at least 10 times.
Yes, but not with a brilliant,
qualified $200-a-day expert.
Will you get it?
Dominick's. You ever been there?
Is it important?
No, but they cook a chicken
that will knock you dead.
Come on, Jim. She
didn't know any of them.
Did she ever mention their records?
Anything like that?
No.
If she thought enough of them
to save this,
you'd think she'd
at least talk about them.
What does it mean?
Sara, would you stop saying,
"What does it mean" and "Is it important"?
I'm just thinking out loud.
Why don't you just admit
you don't know what it means?
Because when you charge
$200 a day
you don't go around
admitting things like that.
Boris Stanik.
Did she ever mention him?
Is it important?
It's not important.
I don't know.
I'm just fishing.
I hope you don't get stuck
with a flounder.
Me, too.
Becker.
Becker, Rockford,
What do you want to know, Jim?
Who is Boris Stanik?
Wino.
So?
Listen, Jim, I shouldn't be
giving this stuff out to you.
Come on, Dennis, who is he?
He's nobody, but he was run down on
the Coast Highway by a state senator.
The paper threw
a blanket on it
”cause our investigation showed that
Senator Murdock wasn't at fault,.
Where was he hit?
About a mile south
of Ventura County line.
When? June 5.
Thanks, Dennis.
Listen, you've used up this
year's supply of favors
and don't call
for another one.
When did Aura Lee start working for you?
Sometime in June.
It was the seventh.
This guy got run over one mile
from Oscar's restaurant
two days before
she started working for you.
What do you think?
It sure ain't no flounder.
It sure ain't.
Mrs.
Murdock, how do you like campaigning
with your husband?
It's a little
hectic, of course
but we're trying to settle
into a routine
that I can get used to.
What are you doing here today?
We're here to
help launch support
for several charities the
Senator and I are involved with.
Sen. Murdock,
I gotta see you in private.
I'm sorry. You have to see
my campaign secretary.
Yeah, I did that.
I can't wait two weeks.
I'm sorry.
I'm extremely busy.
You understand how it is.
Senator, would you like me to step
out in front of the TV cameras
and ask you to explain your relationship
with a Miss Aura Lee Benton?
My office is
on the 15th floor.
I'll see you
in a few minutes.
Both, really.
I'm sorry,
I can't give you any more of my time.
I've got a meeting.
Don't flex up on me,
Senator.
If I get insulted,
I might feed you to the newspapers.
If you people think this Laura
Lee is supposed to shake me up
you got another think coming.
You can tell Dick Stockton
for me he's wasting his time.
I don't know the girl.
When it comes to political sabotage,
I can duck and throw mud with the best.
I suppose Dick Stockton's the
guy you're running against.
You're well informed.
All right, look.
You said that the girl was on the
highway when I hit the old man.
No. I said she was in the car
with you and now she's dead.
I don't know Dick Stockton
from a box of Post Toasties.
So if you want to
jerk me around, fine,
I'll give my theories
to the police.
Let me say this.
Senator, I was just on my way
to the office to see you.
Yeah, you go ahead.
I'll join you.
Okay.
What kind of
a shakedown is this?
I'm just looking
for a straight answer.
All right, I'll give you one.
I don't know the girl.
I was driving down from Santa Barbara.
I hit an old man,
it was an accident.
You can check that
with the highway patrol.
Needless to say,
I have a lot of political connections.
If you're trying to smear me
with something
I'll come down on you with half
the civil servants in this town.
By the time you dig out from all
the lawsuits, the court orders
we'll all be too old to care.
Yeah, that might work,
except for one thing.
You don't know who I am.
What'd you get? I don't know.
Hand me the cigar box.
Here.
What are we looking for?
We're looking
for a Santa Barbara address.
He was in Santa Barbara
the night it happened.
Is this it?
Fraud, tax, burglary?
Which are we gonna be?
You really cover all the bases.
I don't know. Depends on the guy.
Probably taxes.
People really get shook up
when you mention taxes.
They can't give you
the information fast enough.
I don't know.
I think I'd clam up
or have my accountant
talk for me.
I know what I'm doing.
Here, this one's yours.
Assistant Investigator?
Yeah. I'm gonna be the boss.
I don't talk to tax men.
I did that once.
Ended up getting audited
all the way back to 1970.
I think you'd better
talk with my accountant.
Currently
we're assigned to burglary.
You ever have your car
stolen, Mr. Salisbury?
No.
That's a real downer.
We're working on
a bunch of car thieves.
They've been stealing cars
in San Francisco
and then bringing them
down the coast.
And we figured they're
probably staying over here
for some sleep
in Santa Barbara.
People are creatures
of habit, Mr. Salisbury.
We figured if they stayed over
here before at this motel
next time through,
they'll stay here again.
How're you gonna tell
whether they were here?
We got a break.
We found out that one of the
cars was a dark red Buick
license number 385 OJF.
We're trying to find out
if the guy stayed over here.
If you just show us your
motel registration cards
for June 5 and 6,
we'll know for sure.
Okay, I'll show you the file.
Okay. Yes.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry to have
bothered you. Bye.
Anything?
All three of the people who registered
driving Buicks are for real.
Terrific.
You didn't expect Murdock
to leave anything behind
that could be
used against him.
I've been through this motel routine
before. People are creatures of habit.
They'll use a portion of their
car registration or their name.
They'll transpose a letter or
number in their license plate
just in case anybody checks,
it looks like an honest mistake.
Meaning the Senator
never stopped here?
Either he never
stopped here
or somebody pulled the card
we're looking for.
What now?
I'll have to run a bluff.
Isn't that what we
just did?
Obviously I didn't make
myself clear this afternoon.
But I did find out
who you are, Mr. Rockford.
One of my campaign workers
downstairs got your license number.
Now, that was
a real clever move.
You said on the phone
you had some evidence.
I'm interested in what kind of
fabrication you've come up with.
It's not fabrication.
You and Aura Lee Benton visited at
the Seacrest Motel in Santa Barbara.
I have the motel
registration card.
Go on.
I want you to come with me
to the police
and admit that you were
with her that night.
And you can tell them anything
you know about her or her murder.
If I didn't know
an Aura Lee Benton
how could I know anything
about her murder?
You're going to deny that you were
with her in that motel on June 5?
Look, I was at that motel with a
woman, but not Aura Lee Benton.
I see what kind of
a shakedown this is.
How much do you want
for the registration card?
Depends.
On what?
What do you think, Senator?
I wouldn't consider selling it
for less than $100,000.
$100,000?
You must be joking.
I only joke
with my friends.
I can't come up with any $100,000.
I'll give you $10,000.
For that price,
I don't think I'm interested.
I better turn it over
to the cops.
For the last time,
I didn't know an Aura Lee Benton.
Then why are we standing here dickering
over a motel registration card?
Because I was in that motel with a
woman, but not Aura Lee Benton.
She was one of my
campaign workers.
We spent a couple of hours at the
motel and drove south in my car.
She was with me
when I hit Mr. Stanik
but I don't think
my marriage or my campaign
would benefit by that kind
of information getting out.
Now, since I know that I didn't
murder Aura Lee Benton
I will not pay you $100,000.
I'll give you $10,000 now and $10,000
after the election, all right?
I'll call you.
Hello.
Jim, have you seen
the morning newspapers?
I can barely see the phone.
Senator Murdock
killed himself last night.
They found his clothes lying on the
beach, his wallet, his car.
They're looking
for his body now.
I saw him last night.
He was in that motel.
He claims he was
with a campaign worker.
He offered to buy our
registration card for $20,000.
It's one thing to have your
wife find out about an affair
that's pretty bad
but to kill yourself
I gotta tell you, Sara,
I was pressing him pretty hard.
But, damn it, he just
didn't seem that worried.
I told him I'd call him. So why would
he kill himself before I called back?
Then he was murdered
like Aura Lee?
I didn't say that.
Yes, you did.
Okay.
Okay, I did.
I don't want to look too interested.
The cops will want to know why.
You think somebody
killed Aura Lee
just to keep that
one-day affair a secret?
I don't know,
but I don't believe that's suicide.
A guy like Murdock is too tough
and ambitious to put his clothes
on the beach and swim out to
sea like a lovesick schoolgirl.
It just doesn't figure.
If he's dead,
somebody murdered him.
Come on. Let's go.
Where are we going?
Dirk Schaffer's.
To do what?
Something I really hate to do.
Break and enter.
No answer.
You wait right here.
Got anything?
I was looking for a picture.
I got a bonus.
Mr. and Mrs. Evan Murphy,
a Buick, June 5.
Lay your odds,
a handwriting expert
will tell you that's
Evan Murdock's handwriting.
The question now is,
how did Schaffer get it?
Aura Lee
didn't give it to him.
I'd stake everything I own
on that.
The police can get that out of
Schaffer after they arrest him.
Are we going to the police now?
Not yet.
All right.
Which one is the lobster bisque?
Jackson.
Lincoln.
Jackson.
Lincoln.
Come on, Jim, give him a Hamilton at least.
It's my money.
Settle for a Hamilton?
Deal.
All right. The guy that Aura Lee left
with, is he there?
Yeah.
Right there.
Now to the police?
Now to the police.
What are you gonna tell them?
Well, let's say
you're right about her.
If you are, it might
run down something like this:
Schaffer picked up
Aura Lee at Oscar's
and she innocently told him what
she'd been through that night
and he reads about
the accident in the papers
realizes who
she had been with.
So he goes to Murdock
and starts shaking him down.
Aura Lee didn't have anything
to do with that.
Probably not.
No, he was just trying to keep her around.
He probably gave her
the $2,600.
Maybe a loan, so she'd owe him
and wouldn't leave town.
Schaffer killed her,
didn't he?
Yeah, it had to be.
She found out that he was
shaking down the senator
threatened to go to the cops,
so he killed her.
Then I put some pressure
on the senator,
told him that Aura Lee
had been murdered.
He had to figure that it
was Schaffer who did it.
So, he went to Schaffer
told him he was going to
the cops and he got killed.
That seems to be a very unhealthy
thing to say to Dirk Schaffer.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
What is it?
It's the carburetor.
Suddenly, it's full of junk.
Get out. Quick.
Which way?
In there. Come on.
Stay right there.
Come here.
Now listen, I want you
to count to 30
one, two, three, that speed
and then start screaming
and keep screaming.
Dirk Schaffer's gonna
live, huh?
Yeah,
if you call 20 to life living.
You missed your calling,
you know that, don't you?
You shouldn't be messing around
with the detective business.
You ought to get a job
on a tuna boat.
Yeah. I like tuna fishing.
You hit a big school
you can boat a hundred of them
in 10 minutes.
That's a thrill.
Terrific. You want to eat
one of these sandwiches
or shall we break them up
and use them for bait?
You can get one out.
At last.
No, that must be one of yours.
How can you tell?
You cut the crust off.
Remember, I like the crust on.
I'm sorry, Jim. I cut the crust
off of all of them. I forgot.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We did it again.
We caught them.
I'm getting to be a pretty good
What do you call it?
Operative.
You're not too bad.
We're two for two.
That must do something good
for your average.
Sara, it might surprise you,
but when I work all by myself
I hobble around a lot,
but occasionally
I get lucky
and solve something.
I'm ready for dessert.
That's not bad.
It's not bad at all.
Not exactly
what I had in mind.
I want to get back to that,
you understand.
It's just that I think we
ought to square up accounts.
It's not that I don't trust
you, sweetheart. It's just
In the past, we have had
our little problem, right?
Cute card.
Yeah, I looked and I looked.
Where is it?
The police have it.
You see, when you find money that
was gained in an extortion
you can't keep it.
It's kind of like finders
keepers, losers weepers
and we're the losers.
Sara, we've
Look
How are you gonna pay me?
On the installment plan
like before.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah.
I want the pink slip
to your car.
