THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT UNSUNG HEROES.
I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN HIM, BUT YOU NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS.
YOU'VE CHEERED FOR HIM AND CRIED FOR HIM, WOMEN HAVE WANTED TO DIE FOR HIM.
BUT DID HE EVER GET ANY CREDIT? OR THE GIRL? NO.
HE WAS WHAT WE CALL A STUNTMAN.
AND THE REASON I'M TALKIN' SO FONDLY ABOUT HIM IS-- WELL, BECAUSE IT'S ME, COLT SEAVERS.
ANYWAY, PICTURE WORK ISN'T WALL-TO-WALL EMPLOYMENT.
SO MAYBE YOU WONDER HOW A GUY KEEPS HIS HEAD TOGETHER.
WELL, ONE WAY IS TO WAIT BY THE PHONE AND WAIT AND WAIT.
THE OTHER IS TO TAKE AN OCCASIONAL JOB FOR THE COURT SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHERE A MAN IS CONSIDERED INNOCEN UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES A LO OF THESE PEOPLE GET OUT OF JAIL ON WHAT WE CALL BAIL.
AND THEY RUN LIKE HELL.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I SOMETIMES PICK UP RENT MONEY TRYIN' TO FIND THEM AND BRING THEM BACK TO JUSTICE.
BUT TODAY I'M DOING WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO DO-- GETTING YANKED OFF A MOTORCYCLE AT 60 MILES PER HOUR.
HAS COLT EVER DONE ANYTHING THAT'S SAFE? [ Man .]
HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS STUNT, COLT? OH, NOT BAD, AS LONG AS THE CABLE HOLDS TIGHT.
[ Man .]
AND IF IT DOESN'T? WELL, THEN MY HEAD'S GONNA BOUNCE OFF THE PAVEMEN LIKE A BASKETBALL.
OKAY, I THINK WE'RE READY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, LET'S SHOOT IT, HUH? [ Man .]
OKAY.
ACTION! [ Tires Squealing .]
[ Man .]
CUT IT! THAT'S A PRINT! YEAH! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? NOT BAD, COLT.
NOT BAD AT ALL.
THE JERK WAS A LITTLE BI SOFT, BUT NOTHING THAT CAN' BE HANDLED BY AN OPTICAL.
OPTICAL? WELL, A SMALL OPTICAL, REALLY.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ONCE THIS IS SOLD AS A FEATURE TO TELEVISION, THE AUDIENCE WILL NEVER NOTICE THE FLAWS.
FLAWS? THE SMALL SCREEN.
DETAILS DON'T SHOW UP.
HEY, EVEN THE BEST STUNTS HAVE KINKS.
YEAH, NECKS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GET KINKS.
BOY, YOU GIVE A STAR A LITTLE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND HE-- FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT A STAR, I'M A STUNTMAN.
STARS GET A LOT OF MONEY.
WE GET A LOT OF PAIN, WHICH I AM GOING TO TAKE CARE OF WITH A NICE WARM BATH.
[ Phone Rings .]
[ Colt .]
GET THAT, WILL YOU, KID? TELL THEM I'M UNAVAILABLE.
I'VE GOT AN ACTING PART IN A SOAP.
DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM, HOWIE! THAT CALL IS CRITICAL! JACK, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY BATHROOM? I'VE GOT FOUR BROTHERS, COLT.
ALL BIGGER THAN YOU.
THAT'S ASSUMING A LOT.
AND STAY IN THERE! KID, YOU LET HER COME BACK OUT HERE AND YOU'RE FIRED! DON'T BE SELFISH, COLT.
COME ON, WE NEED YOU.
JODY.
[ Baby Crying .]
[ Crying Continues .]
HEY.
WHO THE-- WHAT IS THIS? I'VE MADE MOVIES THAT DID LESS BUSINESS.
NO.
NO, DANNY, WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M PLEADING WITH YOU.
TRUST ME.
DON'T RUN.
YOU'LL GET KILLED.
NO.
I'M SURE-- WAIT A MINUTE.
DANNY, PLEASE, COME HOME.
DON'T DO THIS FOOLISH THING.
MARIE, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.
IF I GO TO JAIL, I'M A DEAD MAN.
OH, NO.
DANNY, GIVE ME ONE LAST CHANCE.
YOU KNOW THAT MAN I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT LIVES AT THIS NUMBER? HE CAN FIND A WAY TO HELP YOU.
HELP WHO? WHAT IS THIS? - DANNY, NO! - CAN'T A MAN TAKE A BATH IN PEACE? DANNY! IT'S NO USE.
HE'S NOT COMING IN.
HE'S PANICKED.
WHO'S PANICKED? HE'LL KILL DANNY IF THEY SEND HIM TO JAIL.
- IT'S BECAUSE OF ANIMAL.
- WHO'S ANIMAL? [ Howie .]
HE'S IN JAIL FOR ASSAULT.
WELL, HOW CAN THEY SEND HIM TO JAIL IF HE'S ALREADY IN JAIL? NO, NO, NO.
THEY'RE NO SENDING HIM.
THEY'RE SENDING DANNY, MARIE'S HUSBAND, FOR AN ARMORED CAR ROBBERY COMMITTED BY ANIMAL AND ANOTHER MAN.
DANNY TESTIFIED AGAINST ANIMAL.
SO IF HE WINDS UP IN JAIL WITH HIM, HE'S AS GOOD AS DEAD.
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND? NO.
I'M GOING BACK TO THE BATH.
THEY SAID YOU'D HELP.
IF NOT FOR ME AND DANNY, [ Baby Crying .]
THEN FOR OUR BABY.
[ Crying Continues .]
I SUPPOSE THE BABY'S GOING TO JAIL TOO? COLT, LET ME EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE, DANNY GARDNER USED TO RUN WITH A PRETTY BAD CROWD.
BUT HE'S SETTLED DOWN, AND HE HAD NO PAR IN THIS ROBBERY, BUT HE WAS SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS.
WELL, I BAILED HIM OUT PENDING HIS APPEAL, BUT WHEN IT WEN AGAINST HIM, HE RAN.
AND I'M NOT SURE I BLAME HIM.
YOU WANT ME TO BRING HIM BACK? YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
SHE DOESN'T WANT ME TO BRING HIM BACK.
WELL, WE HAVE ANOTHER IDEA.
WE THINK ANIMAL'S PARTNER IS A MAN CALLED RED EYE.
WE KNOW WHERE HE IS, AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET ANIMAL TO LINK HIM AND THE MONEY AND DANNY WILL BE CLEARED.
JACK, THAT'S AN AWFUL BIG ORDER.
HOW DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO FILL THAT? COLT, WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN? UH-HUH.
RIGHT HERE.
[ Howie .]
SHE'S GOT A PLAN.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
[ Cooing .]
OH.
[ Howie .]
YOU'RE GOING INTO THE PRISON AS A PRISONER TO GET NEXT TO ANIMAL? [ Colt .]
THAT'S THE PLAN.
BIG JACK IS MAKING ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.
YOU KNOW, COLT, THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.
THAT'S WHY I'M TAKING YOU IN THERE WITH ME.
[ Man .]
WELL, I HOPE THIS COLT SEAVERS KNOWS WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO.
HE'S DEALT WITH CRIMINALS FOR A LONG TIME.
I COULDN'T LET ANYBODY ELSE HERE KNOW HE WASN'T A REAL CON.
TOO MANY LEAKS IN PRISON.
THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A TIGHT COVER.
I'VE SPREAD WORD HE WAS A COP KILLER.
A COP KILLER? THAT'S GOING TO TURN THE GUARDS AGAINST HIM.
WE HAVE 75 GUARDS AND 3,000 INMATES.
WHAT SIDE DO YOU WANT HIM ON? WELL, IF YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, JIM, I GUESS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU.
LET'S JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE COLT TOO LONG TO GET CLOSE TO THIS GUY CALLED ANIMAL.
IT'S A NICE DAY.
IT'S TOO HOT.
MUCH TOO HOT THOUGH.
I DON'T LIKE YOU.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
NO, YOU CAN'T.
'CAUSE I REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU.
[ Chattering .]
HEY! - WHO PUSHED ME? - I DID.
WHAT, ARE YOU PROTECTIN' YOUR BUDDY? NOPE.
JUST PROTECTING YOU.
ME? THAT GUY YOU JUST PUSHED IS CRAZY.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING.
[ Colt .]
THAT GUY, HE'S TOUCHED IN THE HEAD.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID THAT GOT HIM THROWN IN HERE? NO.
WHAT? [ Whispering, Indistinct .]
HE DID THAT? WELL, KEEP HIM AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID, BUT THANKS.
DON'T THANK ME TILL YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOU DID.
CRANDALL, LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
YEAH? EVER HEAR OF JAKE WILSON? - THE ANIMAL.
- YEAH, THAT'S THE GUY.
HIM AND ME ARE OLD FRIENDS.
I HEARD HE WAS HERE.
YEAH, HE'S HERE.
-YEAH, WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
-YOU'LL FIND OUT AFTER YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS JOINT FOR A WHILE.
IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM ON THE WORK DETAIL, THEY'RE IN THE HOLE.
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT? YEAH.
YOU HEARD ME.
HOW LONG ARE THEY GONNA KEEP HIM IN THERE? HE'S BAD, MAN.
I HOPE THEY KEEP HIM IN THERE FOR HIS DURATION.
NO CONVERSATION.
[ Gun Cocks .]
- YOU ENJOY THAT? - COP KILLER.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING OUT, COLT? FOR SOME CRAZY REASON, NONE OF THESE GUYS WILL TALK TO ME.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MESS HALL.
WHAT? WE'VE GOT A DINNER DATE.
WEAR YOUR DANCIN' SHOES, KID.
YOU AND ME HAVE TO STAGE AN OLD-FASHIONED STUNTMAN'S BRAWL.
HOWDY, SLOB.

TAKE IT EASY.
HE'S A PSYCHO.
HOWIE, YOUR FIGHT IS WITH ME.

TAKE IT EASY! BREAK 'EM UP! LET ME AT HIM! I'LL KILL HIM! I SWEAR! I'LL KILL HIM! WHO STARTED IT? HE DID! HE STARTED THROWING FOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE! HE SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO ASSOCIATE WITH GUYS LIKE US! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY.
HOLD IT, ROLAND.
YOU KNOW WE DON' OPERATE LIKE THAT.
PUT HIM IN THE HOLE.
I THINK YOU'LL BE GLAD TO KNOW THAT, UH, YOU AIN'T GONNA BE SEEIN' HIM AGAIN.
LET'S GO, SWEET.
RIGHT STRAIGHT AHEAD.
IS-IS THIS WHERE YOU KEEP THAT ANIMAL GUY? I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T PUT ME IN WITH THAT ANIMAL, WOULD YOU? DON'T WORRY.
THERE'S ONLY ONE IN A CELL.
WHEW! I COULDN'T STAND BEING COOPED UP IN ONE OF THESE TINY CELLS WITH THAT KILLER.
UH, KEENAN, YOU KNOW WE REALLY ARE A LITTLE SHORT OF SPACE.
I THINK HE OUGHT TO GO IN WITH ANIMAL.
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU GUYS CAN'T DUMP ME IN-- THAT GUY'S A MURDERER.
YOU CAN'T PUT ME IN THERE WITH-- WITH ANIMAL.
BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
WE'RE OPENING UP.
ONE MORE COMING IN.
HI THERE.
I'M GONNA KILL YOU.

- HEY, WHAT'D YOU DO? - I SET THE BONE, I THINK.
[ Inhales, Exhales .]

WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO SET BONES LIKE THAT? OH, I'VE HAD, UH, PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE.
WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KIND OF A DOCTOR? NO, JUST ACCIDENT-PRONE.
HEY, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
- YOU GAMBLE? - OH, YOU BET.
[ Chattering .]
[ Big Jack .]
DANNY, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO BE BROUGHT IN STILL WEARING YOUR SKIN.
BIG JACK, THERE AIN' NOTHING LUCKY ABOUT ME.
IN THREE DAYS, I'LL BE SENT UP TO THE STATE PRISON, WHERE ANIMAL'S WAITING TO KILL ME.
NOT IF COLT CAN HELP IT.
COLT? HE'S A STUNTMAN, JACK, NOT SUPERMAN.

ONE, TWO-- [ Gun Cocks .]
I WOULDN'T DO THAT, ROLAND.
I REALLY WOULDN'T.
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION.
AGENT WILSON, AGENT JONES.
IT'S NOT NICE TO POINT GUNS AT PEOPLE.
OH, YOU'RE A COMEDIAN, HUH? I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE.
BUT THIS LINE OF WORK IS MORE STEADY.
BUT THOSE IS ESCAPED KILLERS OUT THERE, ESCAPED FROM MY PENITENTIARY.
WE'RE AWARE OF THAT.
THERE'S ALSO A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION INVOLVING ONE OF THOSE MEN THERE-- "ANIMAL" JAKE MARTIN.
WE GOT A TIP HE CAN LEAD US TO SOME FEDERAL MONEY.
BUT YOU CAN'T LE ESCAPED KILLERS, ESPECIALLY A COP KILLER, JUST RUN AROUND HIS MERRY WAY.
IT WON'T BE VERY MERRY, I CAN ASSURE YOU.
THE BUREAU FIGURES AS LONG AS THEY'RE OUT ALREADY, WE MIGHT AS WELL LET THEM HELP US DO OUR JOB.
WE'RE VERY CAPABLE OF SEEING TO IT THOSE BOYS DON'T GE INTO ANY MORE MISCHIEF.
AND WE'LL BE HAPPY TO RETURN THEM TO YOU WHEN WE'RE THROUGH.
I BETTER GET 'EM BACK IN ONE PIECE.
[ Birds Chirping .]

[ Engine Cranking .]
WILSON! [ Cranking Continues .]
THEY'RE ON THE MOVE! [ Engine Starts .]

THE LAST ONE I TRUSTED WAS RED EYE.
HANG ON, GUYS.
- UH, COLT? - ALL RIGHT, PULL OVER! LOOKS LIKE THEY GOT US.
YOU GUYS GIVE UP TOO EASY.
[ Howie .]
COLT, CAN'T YOU GO ANY FASTER? [ Colt .]
THIS CAR DOESN'T MOVE.
NEXT TIME STEAL A CAR WITH SOME GUTS.
[ Howie .]
COLT, IT SAYS THE DARN ROAD'S CLOSED.
- ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'? - NO.
- YOU'LL NEVER MAKE THIS ONE.

DO SOMETHIN', KID.
UH, WHAT DO YOU SAY THE FOUR OF US SIT DOWN AND TALK THIS OVER? - WE'LL HAVE A COUPLE OF BEERS.

[ Gun Cocks .]
MAYBE WE SHOULD SHUT THEM UP, FAST.
HEY! WAIT! DEAL! DEAL, GUYS! WE CAN TALK A DEAL HERE.

THANK YOU, RED EYE.

YOU JUST WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
WHOO! HOW'D YOU DO THAT, COLT? YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO FALL.
- WELL, FOR A MINUTE THERE, I WAS A LITTLE DOWN IN THE DUMP.
- [ Jones .]
POLICE EMERGENCY.
- BUT IT SURE SAVED MY NECK.
- THERE'S BEEN A SHOOTING A 14 WATER STREET.
SEND A UNIT.
COLT, THE POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY.
VERY CONVINCING FOR A COUPLE OF STUNTMEN.
[ Red Eye .]
STUNTMEN? [ Jones .]
YEAH.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, THE WAY I'VE GOT IT FIGURED, EVEN AT SCALE, FOR TWO DAY'S STUNTS, UH, FOR THE GAGS WE DID, I FIGURE YOU OWE ME AND BENNY ABOUT A GRAND EACH.
YEAH, WELL, SEE MY MANAGER HERE, BOYS.
HE'LL BE HAPPY TO PAY YOU.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, HOWIE? UH, WELL, I'VE GOT TO GET THE DEAL SET WITH BIG JACK AND, UH, W-2 FORMS IN TRIPLICATE.
WE'LL HAVE TO SUBMI MEAL VOUCHERS.
I WAN VERIFICATION ON OVERTIME.
AND NATURALLY, I'LL HAVE TO DEDUCT THE PRICE OF THE CAR YOU WRECKED.
YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN' REALLY TRY TO DO EVERYTHING COLT TRIES TO DO.
I'VE BEEN WORKING WITH HIM A LOT LONGER THAN YOU GUYS.
WELL, COLT, COME ON.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
LOOK, I'D RATHER NOT SEE ANYTHING YOU HAVE TO SHOW ME FOR QUITE A WHILE.
OH, THIS YOU'RE GONNA WANT TO SEE.
I PROMISE.
OH, MISS JACK.
I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
OH, I'M NOT THE ONE TO THANK.
IT'S THESE TWO GENTLEMEN.
BLESS YOU.
MY FAMILY WILL ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL TO YOU.
I'M JUST, UH, GLAD EVERYTHING TURNED OUT ALL RIGHT.
WELL, IF, UH, YOU'LL EXCUSE US.
SURE.
GOOD-BYE.
GOOD-BYE.
GOOD LUCK.
OH.
JACK, HOW COME IT IS EVERY TIME I WANT TO GET MAD AT YOU, YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING UP YOUR SLEEVE? OH, BUT, COLT, I'VE GO NOTHING UP MY SLEEVES NOW.
[ Banging .]
WHAT'S THAT? HOWIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THAT POOR MACHINE? THIS DARN THING STOLE MY 50 CENTS.
HOWIE-- NOT NOW, COLT.
I TOOK A HALF A YEAR OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING AT PENN STATE, AND I'M GONNA GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS THING.
HOWARD.
NO.
IT'S THE PRINCIPLE, COLT.
THESE MACHINES NEVER WORK-- AND IN A POLICE STATION.
- LOOK, WE WANT TO GO TO LUNCH.
- WELL, GO ON AHEAD.
I'LL CATCH UP WITH YOU LATER.
WELL, HERE, KID.
YOU MIGHT NEED THIS.
[ Chuckling .]
[ Man .]
FALL GUY IS A GLEN LARSON PRODUCTION.
BUT THE HARDEST THING I EVER DO IS WATCH MY LEADING LADIES KISS SOME OTHER GUY WHILE I'M BANDAGIN' MY KNEE I MIGHT FALL FROM A TALL BUILDIN' I MIGHT ROLL A BRAND-NEW CAR 'CAUSE I'M THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN THAT MADE REDFORD SUCH A STAR [ Women Vocalizing .]
I'VE NEVER SPEN MUCH TIME IN SCHOOL BUT I'VE TAUGH LADIES PLENTY IT'S TRUE I HIRE MY BODY OUT FOR PAY HEY, HEY I'VE GOTTEN BURNED OVER CHERYL TIEGS BLOWN UP FOR RAQUEL WELCH BUT WHEN I WIND UP IN THE HAY, IT'S ONLY HAY HEY, HEY I MIGHT JUMP AN OPEN DRAWBRIDGE OR TARZAN FROM A VINE 'CAUSE I'M THE UNKNOWN STUNTMAN THAT MAKES EASTWOOD LOOK SO FINE [ Colt Narrating .]
THIS IS THE STORY OF ONE OF AMERICA'S GREAT UNSUNG HEROES.
I MEAN, YOU'VE SEEN HIM, BUT YOU NEVER KNEW WHO HE WAS.
YOU'VE CHEERED FOR HIM AND CRIED FOR HIM, WOMEN HAVE WANTED TO DIE FOR HIM.
BUT DID HE EVER GET ANY CREDIT? OR THE GIRL? NO.
HE WAS WHAT WE CALL A STUNTMAN.
AND THE REASON I'M TALKIN' SO FONDLY ABOUT HIM IS-- WELL, BECAUSE IT'S ME, COLT SEAVERS.
ANYWAY, PICTURE WORK ISN'T WALL-TO-WALL EMPLOYMENT.
SO MAYBE YOU WONDER HOW A GUY KEEPS HIS HEAD TOGETHER.
WELL, ONE WAY IS TO WAIT BY THE PHONE AND WAIT AND WAIT.
THE OTHER IS TO TAKE AN OCCASIONAL JOB FOR THE COURT SYSTEM OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WHERE A MAN IS CONSIDERED INNOCEN UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES A LO OF THESE PEOPLE GET OUT OF JAIL ON WHAT WE CALL BAIL.
AND THEY RUN LIKE HELL.
THAT'S WHERE I COME IN.
I SOMETIMES PICK UP RENT MONEY TRYIN' TO FIND THEM AND BRING THEM BACK TO JUSTICE.
BUT TODAY I'M DOING WHAT I REALLY LIKE TO DO-- GETTING YANKED OFF A MOTORCYCLE AT 60 MILES PER HOUR.
HAS COLT EVER DONE ANYTHING THAT'S SAFE? [ Man .]
HOW DANGEROUS IS THIS STUNT, COLT? OH, NOT BAD, AS LONG AS THE CABLE HOLDS TIGHT.
[ Man .]
AND IF IT DOESN'T? WELL, THEN MY HEAD'S GONNA BOUNCE OFF THE PAVEMEN LIKE A BASKETBALL.
OKAY, I THINK WE'RE READY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, LET'S SHOOT IT, HUH? [ Man .]
OKAY.
ACTION! [ Tires Squealing .]
[ Man .]
CUT IT! THAT'S A PRINT! YEAH! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? NOT BAD, COLT.
NOT BAD AT ALL.
THE JERK WAS A LITTLE BI SOFT, BUT NOTHING THAT CAN' BE HANDLED BY AN OPTICAL.
OPTICAL? WELL, A SMALL OPTICAL, REALLY.
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
ONCE THIS IS SOLD AS A FEATURE TO TELEVISION, THE AUDIENCE WILL NEVER NOTICE THE FLAWS.
FLAWS? THE SMALL SCREEN.
DETAILS DON'T SHOW UP.
HEY, EVEN THE BEST STUNTS HAVE KINKS.
YEAH, NECKS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO GET KINKS.
BOY, YOU GIVE A STAR A LITTLE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM AND HE-- FIRST OF ALL, I'M NOT A STAR, I'M A STUNTMAN.
STARS GET A LOT OF MONEY.
WE GET A LOT OF PAIN, WHICH I AM GOING TO TAKE CARE OF WITH A NICE WARM BATH.
[ Phone Rings .]
[ Colt .]
GET THAT, WILL YOU, KID? TELL THEM I'M UNAVAILABLE.
I'VE GOT AN ACTING PART IN A SOAP.
DON'T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO HIM, HOWIE! THAT CALL IS CRITICAL! JACK, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY BATHROOM? I'VE GOT FOUR BROTHERS, COLT.
ALL BIGGER THAN YOU.
THAT'S ASSUMING A LOT.
AND STAY IN THERE! KID, YOU LET HER COME BACK OUT HERE AND YOU'RE FIRED! DON'T BE SELFISH, COLT.
COME ON, WE NEED YOU.
JODY.
[ Baby Crying .]
[ Crying Continues .]
HEY.
WHO THE-- WHAT IS THIS? I'VE MADE MOVIES THAT DID LESS BUSINESS.
NO.
NO, DANNY, WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M PLEADING WITH YOU.
TRUST ME.
DON'T RUN.
YOU'LL GET KILLED.
NO.
I'M SURE-- WAIT A MINUTE.
DANNY, PLEASE, COME HOME.
DON'T DO THIS FOOLISH THING.
MARIE, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PEOPLE.
IF I GO TO JAIL, I'M A DEAD MAN.
OH, NO.
DANNY, GIVE ME ONE LAST CHANCE.
YOU KNOW THAT MAN I TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT LIVES AT THIS NUMBER? HE CAN FIND A WAY TO HELP YOU.
HELP WHO? WHAT IS THIS? - DANNY, NO! - CAN'T A MAN TAKE A BATH IN PEACE? DANNY! IT'S NO USE.
HE'S NOT COMING IN.
HE'S PANICKED.
WHO'S PANICKED? HE'LL KILL DANNY IF THEY SEND HIM TO JAIL.
- IT'S BECAUSE OF ANIMAL.
- WHO'S ANIMAL? [ Howie .]
HE'S IN JAIL FOR ASSAULT.
WELL, HOW CAN THEY SEND HIM TO JAIL IF HE'S ALREADY IN JAIL? NO, NO, NO.
THEY'RE NO SENDING HIM.
THEY'RE SENDING DANNY, MARIE'S HUSBAND, FOR AN ARMORED CAR ROBBERY COMMITTED BY ANIMAL AND ANOTHER MAN.
DANNY TESTIFIED AGAINST ANIMAL.
SO IF HE WINDS UP IN JAIL WITH HIM, HE'S AS GOOD AS DEAD.
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND? NO.
I'M GOING BACK TO THE BATH.
THEY SAID YOU'D HELP.
IF NOT FOR ME AND DANNY, [ Baby Crying .]
THEN FOR OUR BABY.
[ Crying Continues .]
I SUPPOSE THE BABY'S GOING TO JAIL TOO? COLT, LET ME EXPLAIN.
YOU SEE, DANNY GARDNER USED TO RUN WITH A PRETTY BAD CROWD.
BUT HE'S SETTLED DOWN, AND HE HAD NO PAR IN THIS ROBBERY, BUT HE WAS SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS.
WELL, I BAILED HIM OUT PENDING HIS APPEAL, BUT WHEN IT WEN AGAINST HIM, HE RAN.
AND I'M NOT SURE I BLAME HIM.
YOU WANT ME TO BRING HIM BACK? YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
SHE DOESN'T WANT ME TO BRING HIM BACK.
WELL, WE HAVE ANOTHER IDEA.
WE THINK ANIMAL'S PARTNER IS A MAN CALLED RED EYE.
WE KNOW WHERE HE IS, AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS GET ANIMAL TO LINK HIM AND THE MONEY AND DANNY WILL BE CLEARED.
JACK, THAT'S AN AWFUL BIG ORDER.
HOW DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO FILL THAT? COLT, WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN? UH-HUH.
RIGHT HERE.
[ Howie .]
SHE'S GOT A PLAN.
AND I'LL TELL YOU ALL ABOUT IT.
[ Cooing .]
OH.
[ Howie .]
YOU'RE GOING INTO THE PRISON AS A PRISONER TO GET NEXT TO ANIMAL? [ Colt .]
THAT'S THE PLAN.
BIG JACK IS MAKING ALL THE ARRANGEMENTS.
YOU KNOW, COLT, THAT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.
THAT'S WHY I'M TAKING YOU IN THERE WITH ME.
[ Man .]
WELL, I HOPE THIS COLT SEAVERS KNOWS WHAT HE'S GETTING INTO.
HE'S DEALT WITH CRIMINALS FOR A LONG TIME.
I COULDN'T LET ANYBODY ELSE HERE KNOW HE WASN'T A REAL CON.
TOO MANY LEAKS IN PRISON.
THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE A TIGHT COVER.
I'VE SPREAD WORD HE WAS A COP KILLER.
A COP KILLER? THAT'S GOING TO TURN THE GUARDS AGAINST HIM.
WE HAVE 75 GUARDS AND 3,000 INMATES.
WHAT SIDE DO YOU WANT HIM ON? WELL, IF YOU PUT IT THAT WAY, JIM, I GUESS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU.
LET'S JUST HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE COLT TOO LONG TO GET CLOSE TO THIS GUY CALLED ANIMAL.
IT'S A NICE DAY.
IT'S TOO HOT.
MUCH TOO HOT THOUGH.
I DON'T LIKE YOU.
I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT.
NO, YOU CAN'T.
'CAUSE I REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU.
[ Chattering .]
HEY! - WHO PUSHED ME? - I DID.
WHAT, ARE YOU PROTECTIN' YOUR BUDDY? NOPE.
JUST PROTECTING YOU.
ME? THAT GUY YOU JUST PUSHED IS CRAZY.
HE'LL DO ANYTHING.
[ Colt .]
THAT GUY, HE'S TOUCHED IN THE HEAD.
YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID THAT GOT HIM THROWN IN HERE? NO.
WHAT? [ Whispering, Indistinct .]
HE DID THAT? WELL, KEEP HIM AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID, BUT THANKS.
DON'T THANK ME TILL YOU FIND OUT WHAT YOU DID.
CRANDALL, LIKE TO ASK YOU A QUESTION.
YEAH? EVER HEAR OF JAKE WILSON? - THE ANIMAL.
- YEAH, THAT'S THE GUY.
HIM AND ME ARE OLD FRIENDS.
I HEARD HE WAS HERE.
YEAH, HE'S HERE.
-YEAH, WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM.
-YOU'LL FIND OUT AFTER YOU'VE BEEN IN THIS JOINT FOR A WHILE.
IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM ON THE WORK DETAIL, THEY'RE IN THE HOLE.
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT? YEAH.
YOU HEARD ME.
HOW LONG ARE THEY GONNA KEEP HIM IN THERE? HE'S BAD, MAN.
I HOPE THEY KEEP HIM IN THERE FOR HIS DURATION.
NO CONVERSATION.
[ Gun Cocks .]
- YOU ENJOY THAT? - COP KILLER.
DID YOU FIND ANYTHING OUT, COLT? FOR SOME CRAZY REASON, NONE OF THESE GUYS WILL TALK TO ME.
WELL, I'LL SEE YOU IN THE MESS HALL.
WHAT? WE'VE GOT A DINNER DATE.
WEAR YOUR DANCIN' SHOES, KID.
YOU AND ME HAVE TO STAGE AN OLD-FASHIONED STUNTMAN'S BRAWL.
HOWDY, SLOB.
COOL IT! COOL IT! THE GUY'S A NUT.
TAKE IT EASY.
HE'S A PSYCHO.
HOWIE, YOUR FIGHT IS WITH ME.
TRUST ME, COLT.
NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! NOW YOU'VE DONE IT.
NO, HE'S MINE.
[ Man .]
BREAK IT UP! A FIGHT.
TAKE IT EASY! BREAK 'EM UP! LET ME AT HIM! I'LL KILL HIM! I SWEAR! I'LL KILL HIM! WHO STARTED IT? HE DID! HE STARTED THROWING FOOD ALL OVER THE PLACE! HE SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO ASSOCIATE WITH GUYS LIKE US! I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS GUY.
HOLD IT, ROLAND.
YOU KNOW WE DON' OPERATE LIKE THAT.
PUT HIM IN THE HOLE.
I THINK YOU'LL BE GLAD TO KNOW THAT, UH, YOU AIN'T GONNA BE SEEIN' HIM AGAIN.
LET'S GO, SWEET.
RIGHT STRAIGHT AHEAD.
IS-IS THIS WHERE YOU KEEP THAT ANIMAL GUY? I MEAN, YOU WOULDN'T PUT ME IN WITH THAT ANIMAL, WOULD YOU? DON'T WORRY.
THERE'S ONLY ONE IN A CELL.
WHEW! I COULDN'T STAND BEING COOPED UP IN ONE OF THESE TINY CELLS WITH THAT KILLER.
UH, KEENAN, YOU KNOW WE REALLY ARE A LITTLE SHORT OF SPACE.
I THINK HE OUGHT TO GO IN WITH ANIMAL.
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU GUYS CAN'T DUMP ME IN-- THAT GUY'S A MURDERER.
YOU CAN'T PUT ME IN THERE WITH-- WITH ANIMAL.
BACK AGAINST THE WALL.
WE'RE OPENING UP.
ONE MORE COMING IN.
HI THERE.
I'M GONNA KILL YOU.
- COLT SEAVERS IS MY NAME.
- I DON'T LIKE ROOMMATES.
THE GUARD BROKE MY SHOULDER, BUT I COULD KILL YOU WITH ONE HAND.
OH, I DON' TAKE UP MUCH ROOM.

YOUR SHOULDER'S DISLOCATED.
FROM A GUARD'S CLUB? HEY, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GE ON YOUR OWN SIDE OF THE HOLE? NOW THIS ISN'T GONNA HURT-- OHH! MUCH.
- HEY, WHAT'D YOU DO? - I SET THE BONE, I THINK.
[ Inhales, Exhales .]
SURE MAKES BREATHING A LOT EASIER.
WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO SET BONES LIKE THAT? OH, I'VE HAD, UH, PLENTY OF EXPERIENCE.
WHAT ARE YOU, SOME KIND OF A DOCTOR? NO, JUST ACCIDENT-PRONE.
HEY, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT.
- YOU GAMBLE? - OH, YOU BET.
[ Chattering .]
[ Big Jack .]
DANNY, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU WERE TO BE BROUGHT IN STILL WEARING YOUR SKIN.
BIG JACK, THERE AIN' NOTHING LUCKY ABOUT ME.
IN THREE DAYS, I'LL BE SENT UP TO THE STATE PRISON, WHERE ANIMAL'S WAITING TO KILL ME.
NOT IF COLT CAN HELP IT.
COLT? HE'S A STUNTMAN, JACK, NOT SUPERMAN.
DANNY, I'M GONNA CALL THE WARDEN, EXPLAIN YOU'VE JUST BEEN CAUGHT.

NOT UNLESS YOU WAN YOUR NOOSE TIGHTENED.
[ Sighs .]
WELL, WHERE'S COLT? HE'LL THINK OF SOMETHING.
JODY, EVEN I CAN' GET IN TOUCH WITH COLT.
HE'S GOT HIMSELF THROWN INTO THE HOLE.
THE HOLE? WELL, THAT'S WHERE ANIMAL IS.
WELL, WE'VE GOTTA LE COLT KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
JODY, THE ONLY WAY THAT I CAN TALK TO COLT IS TO GET MYSELF THROWN INTO THE HOLE.

SPENDING YOUR MONEY? - I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.

I MEAN, I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
YOU SEE, RED EYE AND I PULLED OFF A JOB.
WE PINNED IT ON SOME JERK.
