Mission: Impossible (1966–1973): Season 6, Episode 13 - Run for the Money - full transcript
The IMF team play the sport of kings in order to stop a ruthless syndicate. The syndicate is looking to corner the 'off track betting' market by violently disposing of their competitors, and any customers who happen to be in the way. But with Jim's plan the IMF is betting on his dark horse to win and there's no horse named Sure Thing.
OPEN IT.
I DIDN'T GET THE NAME.
TRASK.
THE NAME IS TRASK.
NOW, YOU REMEMBER IT.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
THE FLAG IS UP.
THERE THEY GO.
WILLY'S BABE
IS GOING TO THE FRONT.
SANDARSKY IS SECOND.
ANALINE IS THIRD.

DIRTY HARRY IS FIFTH,
AND ACES UP.
AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE TURN,

SO MUCH FOR FREE ENTERPRISE.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE TWO MEN
YOU ARE LOOKING AT
ARE EDWARD TRASK
AND FRANK MASON.
MASON HAS RECENTLY
BEEN GIVEN CONTROL
OF THE SYNDICATE'S
ILLEGAL BETTING PARLORS.
HE HAS MODERNIZED
THE OPERATIONS
WITH COMPUTERIZED TOTE BOARDS
AND PUT TIE LINES
BETWEEN HIS PARLORS
IN CITIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
TRASK HAS BEEN ASSIGNED THE JOB
OF REMOVING THE COMPETITION
IN THESE CITIES,
WHICH HE IS DOING WITHOUT
REGARD FOR LIFE OR PROPERTY.
CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
HAVE BEEN UNABLE
TO GATHER SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
FOR THE ARREST OF THESE MEN.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO BREAK UP
THIS DEADLY ALLIANCE
AND THUS PREVENT
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FROM BEING FUNNELED
INTO SYNDICATE COFFERS.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME

[ FILM PROJECTOR HUMMING ]
THAT'S SOME FILLY!
THAT WAS LUCKY LADY'S
BIG RACE IN RIO LAST MONTH.
WHEN WILL SHE BE HERE?
SHE'S FLYING IN
THIS AFTERNOON, CASEY.
BE OUT OF QUARANTINE
TOMORROW.
THE RACETRACK
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
AND THE THOROUGHBRED CLUB HAVE
GIVEN US THEIR COOPERATION
SO THAT WE CAN CHANGE HER
REGISTRATION TEMPORARILY.
MY TRAINER'S PAPERS
CAME THROUGH OKAY.
GOOD. THE HORSE'S
PAST PERFORMANCE CHARTS
WERE PLANTED IN THE NEWSPAPER
MORGUES YESTERDAY.
TRASK HASN'T HAD MUCH LUCK
WITH ANY OF THE HORSES
HE'S OWNED, HUH?
HE'S NEVER HAD
A GREAT HORSE, CASEY --
NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE.
HE WANTS ONE DESPERATELY.
RIGHT. HE GREW UP
AROUND RACETRACKS.
TO HIM, A WINNING HORSE IS
THE KIND OF CLASS AND PRESTIGE
THAT HE DREAMT ABOUT
AS A KID --
THE KIND YOU DON'T GET
AS A SYNDICATE ENFORCER.
THAT'S WHY HE'S SO JEALOUS OF
MASON'S HORSE, KING'S FRIEND.
WHAT ABOUT THE BILL
OF SALE?
THERE ARE ENOUGH
INCONSISTENCIES HERE
THAT WOULD INVALIDATE IT.
NICK, CAN SHE REALLY RUN FAST
ENOUGH TO BEAT MASON'S HORSE?
I THINK SO.
THE QUESTION IS,
WILL TRASK THINK SO?
CASEY.
START IT, NICK.
MAGNETIC INHIBITOR,
SLOWS THE MECHANISM DOWN.
MAKES A GOOD HORSE
LOOK GREAT.
SO, THE REST IS UP TO US
AND TO THE HORSE THAT TRASK
WILL KNOW AS RED SAND.
LET'S HOPE THAT OUR HORSE
CAN BEAT KING'S FRIEND.
OH, THAT KING'S FRIEND
GETS BETTER
EVERY TIME I SEE HER.
IF SHE'S TOO GOOD,
MASON WON'T SELL HER TO YOU.
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PRICE,
JEFFERS.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
YOU WON'T GET AWAY
WITH THIS, DONOVAN.
I ALREADY HAVE,
MISS FREDERICKS.
THE HORSE IS MINE.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BE A
GRACIOUS LOSER AND RUN ALONG?
I'LL REPORT YOU
TO THE RACING COMMISSION!
FOR WHAT, BEING A BETTER
HORSE-TRADER THAN YOU?!
RED SAND WAS MY HORSE.
I HAD THE DEAL.
YOU CHEAT ME OUT OF IT!
AH, THE CAT HAS CLAWS, HUH?
HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT
A LADY, MISTER!
DONOVAN'S THE NAME,
AND THAT'S NO LADY.
YOU WON'T GET AWAY
WITH IT, DONOVAN.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
SORRY ABOUT THAT,
MR. TRASK.
SHE'S A WILD ONE.
YOU KNOW ME, HUH?
YEAH, I'VE BEEN AROUND.
FINE-LOOKING ANIMAL.
GET HER INSIDE.
YOU GOING
TO ENTER HER HERE?
UH, WELL, THAT DEPENDS
ON WHETHER SHE'S READY.
PROBABLY NOT.
SORRY, YOU'LL HAVE
TO EXCUSE ME.
I'M BUSY.
HE DOESN'T LIKE TO TALK MUCH
ABOUT THE HORSE, DOES HE?
GO FIND OUT WHERE
THE GIRL'S STAYING, HEAR?
QUICK, GO ON.
RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, MASON?
WHAT ABOUT THE HORSE?
I TOLD YOU A DOZEN TIMES, TRASK,
KING'S FRIEND IS NOT FOR SALE.
HORSES ARE AT THE GATE.
TELEPHONE?
COME ON, NOW.
I WANT THE HORSE.
YOU WANT, I KNOW, YOU WANT.
TRASK, TAKE FROM EVERYBODY
ELSE, BUT NOT FROM ME.
WE GOT TOO MUCH BUSINESS
TOGETHER.
I'LL TAKE 20 ACROSS
ON BLACK KNIGHT.
[ Sarcastically ]
WELL, DO COME IN.
I ALREADY HAVE.
SO I NOTICED.
NOW TRY AND EXIT, OKAY?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN WHO YOU ARE, PRETTY LADY.
I AM THE PRETTY LADY WHO
IS GOING TO CALL THE COPS
IF YOU DON'T GET OUT
OF MY ROOM.
[ CHUCKLING ]
FIRST, I'M GOING TO
ASK YOU ONE QUESTION --
JUST WHO IS DONOVAN?
DONOVAN
IS A CHEATING CREEP.
WHAT ABOUT HIS HORSE?
YOU SAID ONE QUESTION.
I LIED.
HE GOT IT
FROM A MAN NAMED RAMIREZ.
HOW GOOD IS SHE?
NOT VERY.
FUNNY, I DIDN'T GET
THAT IMPRESSION.
I REALLY COULDN'T
CARE LESS.
I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
SHE'S BEEN HERE TWO WEEKS.
SOME GUY IS PAYING
HER RENT, IN CASH.
AND SHE'S GOT
A RENTED CAR.
SHE'S GOT A FRIEND.
FIND OUT WHO!

OKAY.
CLEAN UP THIS MESS.
[ DOORBELL RINGS ]
GUESS WHAT HAPPENED
TO * ME-EEEE
I'M JUST BREATHLESS
TILL I FIND OUT.
WELL, I HAD A DATE,
AND I GOT STOOD UP.
THAT'S A NICE ANGLE.
HAVE YOU HAD DINNER?
NO, I HAVEN'T,
BUT I'M VERY HUNGRY.
MR. TRASK, PLEASE,
NOT BEFORE DINNER, HUH?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRINK,
MISS FREDERICKS?
UM, SCOTCH, TWO FINGERS,
ON THE ROCKS...PLEASE.
TO GOOD TIMES.
NO.
WHY?
WHY WHAT?
WHY YOU AND ME TONIGHT?
WHY NOT?
YOU WEREN'T EXACTLY THRILLED
WITH MY BEING AROUND YOU
THIS AFTERNOON.
WELL, I THOUGHT IT OVER,
AND I DECIDED NOT TO LET SOME
DUMB HORSE GET ME SO EXCITED
WHEN THERE ARE MORE...
ENJOYABLE PURSUITS.
THEN THE HORSE
IS "N.G."?
RIGHT.
HEY, THEN WHAT ARE YOU
GETTING SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE
ABOUT DONOVAN FOR, HMM?
WHO KNOWS WOMEN?
THEY ALWAYS WANT
WHAT THEY CAN'T HAVE.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
GO WHERE?
THIS AFTERNOON YOU WERE
TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE HORSE.
TONIGHT YOU'RE
NOT WORRIED ENOUGH.
NOW COME ON!
THIS YOUR IDEA
OF A BIG NIGHT OUT?
DON'T YOU FEEL BAD, LOVE.
A CLASSY CHICK LIKE YOU
TRIES TO CON ME,
TURNS ME ON!
[ NEIGHS ]
WHAT DID YOU DO?
I WAS JUST CURIOUS.
MORNING, MISS FREDERICKS.
HI!
I FIGURED IF I KEPT YOU OUT
LATE ENOUGH LAST NIGHT,
YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT
THIS MORNING.
AWW, TWO MINDS
THAT WORK AS ONE.
HE'S WORKING HER
BETWEEN POLES.
HE'S NOT TOO ANXIOUS
FOR ANYBODY
TO TIME HER, IS HE?
GOOD?
JUST 1/5 SECOND
OFF THE TRACK RECORD.
HOW'D SHE RESPOND?
RESPONDED GREAT.
HOW'D SHE CLOCK?
I DIDN'T CLOCK HER.
WHY NOT?
FORGOT MY WATCH!
TOO BAD,
SHE WAS REALLY FLYING.
PETE, COOL HER OFF.
I GOT 57.1.
WHAT DID YOU GET?
OH, YOUR WATCH MUST BE
MESSED UP, MR. TRASK.
I DON'T THINK SO,
MR. DONOVAN.
OH, NO.
RED SAND IS ALMOST 4 LENGTHS
FASTER THAN KING'S FRIEND.
I WONDER IF DONOVAN KNOWS.
OH, HE KNOWS.
HE KNOWS I KNOW, TOO.
COME ON.
58 FLAT.
WHAT DID RED SAND
REALLY DO?
57.4.
IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE
A HORSE RACE.
IT WAS BLEACHED
WITH A LASER.
I THOUGHT SO.
IT'S THE LATEST TECHNIQUE
FOR MARKING ANIMALS --
SAFE AND PAINLESS.
CAN YOU TELL HOW LONG AGO
IT WAS DONE?
I'D SAY VERY RECENTLY.
MUST HAVE CHANGED
THE LIP TATTOO AS WELL.
CROWD DESTROYER IS FOURTH.
THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER.
DOWN THE STRETCH, IT'S PAPA DAY
IN FRONT BY A HEAD.
TREE FLOWER IS SECOND
AND WILLY'S BABE.

IN FRONT OF WILLY'S BABE.
RUNNING TIME FOR 6 FURLONGS,

EXCUSE ME.
OH, MISS FREDERICKS.
WOULD YOU CARE
TO SIT WITH US?
OH, THANK YOU.
DIANE FREDERICKS,
FRANK MASON.
HELLO.
HELLO, MR. TRASK.
MR. DONOVAN, YOU KNOW
MISS FREDERICKS, OF COURSE.
YES, I KNOW HER.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO MEET A COMPETITOR?
MR. DONOVAN,
THIS IS MR. MASON.
MR. MASON.
HOW DO YOU DO?
MR. MASON HAS THE FAVORITE,
KING'S FRIEND.
MR. DONOVAN'S HORSE
IS RED SAND.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
THANK YOU.
KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT HIS HORSE?
RED SAND? NOTHING.
YEAH, MUST BE A DOG.
20-TO-1 ODDS.
FLAG IS UP. THERE THEY GO.
...IS THIRD,
FOLLOWED BY KING'S FRIEND.
AROUND THE CLUBHOUSE TURN,
IT'S MARY'S MATE ON THE RAIL
IN FRONT BY A HEAD.
AMIGO IS SECOND BY ONE LENGTH.
WILEY'S LADY IS THIRD
BY ONE LENGTH.
MOVING UP ON THE OUTSIDE,
KING'S FRIEND IS FOURTH

FOLLOWED BY RED SAND.
TURNING
INTO THE BACKSTRETCH --
HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT
ON MY HORSE, TRASK?
I'M JUST
A SPECTATOR TODAY.
...BY ONE LENGTH.
WILEY'S LADY IS THIRD
BY A LENGTH AND ONE-HALF.
KING'S FRIEND IS FOURTH

KING'S FRIEND AND WILEY'S LADY.
IT IS KING'S FRIEND
IN FRONT BY ONE LENGTH.
KING'S FRIEND...
AS HE COMES DOWN
TO THE FINAL FINISH,
KING'S FRIEND IS THE WINNER...
WHAT'S EVERYBODY
SO GRIM ABOUT?
KING'S FRIEND WON,
DIDN'T HE?
HE WON THIS TIME.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WE CLOCKED RED SAND
AT 57.1
YESTERDAY IN A WORKOUT.
WE THINK HE'S BEING HELD BACK
TO BUILD THE ODDS
SO HE CAN MAKE
A BIG KILLING LATER.
KNOW WHAT I THINK,
MISS FREDERICKS?
I THINK YOU NEED
A NEW STOPWATCH.
WELL, I STILL THINK SHE'S THE
FASTEST THING ON THE TRACK.
I KNOW EVERY HORSE
IN THE COUNTRY --
ITS TIMES, ITS ODDS,
AND ITS RUNNING HABITS.
IN ITS OWN CLASS,
THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN GET
ANYWHERE NEAR 57.1 IS MINE.
LIKE TO HELP ME COLLECT
MY MONEY, MISS FREDERICKS?
OH, I'D LOVE TO.
YOU GET A LOOK
AT RED SAND?
HAVE TO SAY THEY WEREN'T
REALLY TRYING WITH HER
THIS AFTERNOON.
I DID SOME MORE CHECKING
ON THE GIRL.
AND?
SHE HAS $12
IN HER BANK ACCOUNT.
NEAR AS I CAN TELL,
THAT'S HER TOTAL ASSETS.
SHE SURE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
BREAD TO BUY DONOVAN'S HORSE.
THAT MEANS SHE'S FRONTING
FOR SOMEBODY.
GO ON, FIND OUT WHO.
JEFFERS,
WHERE IS DONOVAN STAYING?
MOTEL NEAR THE TRACK.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WAITING FOR YOU.
MADE YOURSELF RIGHT AT HOME,
DIDN'T YOU?
YOU OUGHT TO TRY TO HIDE
YOUR ARMAMENT BETTER.
YOU'RE AS PHONY AS
A THREE-DOLLAR BILL, MISTER.
WHO YOU TRYING TO CON?
I DON'T READ PORTUGUESE,
DONOVAN,
BUT I GET THE GIST OF WHAT'S
ON THIS NEWSPAPER
THAT WAS PRINTED TWO WEEKS
AGO IN RIO DE JANEIRO.
YOU DIG?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
BUT YOU KNOW REAL WELL
WHAT'S IN YOUR BRIEFCASE,
DON'T YOU, HUH?
SOUTH AMERICAN
PERFORMANCE CHARTS
ON A HORSE CALLED
LUCKY LADY.
HERE'S A STORY
ABOUT THE SAME HORSE,
EXCEPT THIS TIME
IT WAS STOLEN.
A GUY NAMED RAMIREZ WAS
SUSPECTED, BUT HE GOT AWAY.
SURE, HE GOT AWAY,
CLEAN OUT OF THE COUNTRY!
NAH, THIS LUCKY LADY'S
A BAY, NO MARKINGS.
YOUR RED SAND IS IDENTICAL
EXCEPT FOR A NICE, NEAT
LASER JOB ON THE FOREHEAD.
HOW DID YOU HAPPEN TO GET HER
LEGALLY REGISTERED HERE?
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!
STOP PLAYING GAMES,
DONOVAN!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT RED SAND!
SHE'S NOT FOR SALE.
YOU'RE NOT READING ME.
ALL RIGHT.
THE FREDERICKS GIRL
OFFERED ME $40,000.
HA, SHE DOESN'T HAVE
A DIME.
I DIDN'T GET
THAT IMPRESSION.
SHE'S FRONTING FOR SOMEBODY!
I DON'T CARE
WHOSE MONEY IT IS.
YOU'LL HAVE TO BEAT
HER OFFER.
I GOT TOO MUCH INVESTED.
I TELL YOU THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.
TRASK, IF I WIND UP DEAD,
THERE WILL BE AN INVESTIGATION
AND LUCKY LADY WILL BE BACK
IN RIO WHERE SHE BELONGS.
NOW, WHAT DOES THAT
GET YOU?
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GIVE YOU $50,000.
GO ON, CALL HER.
[ RINGING ]
MISS FREDERICKS.
YES.
THIS IS DONOVAN.
I'VE JUST BEEN OFFERED $50,000
FOR RED SAND.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
SHE'LL GET BACK TO ME.
SIT DOWN.
[ BEEPING ]
JIM CALLED.
Mason's
at the usual place.
He just got there.
THEY, UH, TOLD ME IF I
CAME IN HERE OFTEN ENOUGH,
I'D BUMP INTO YOU.
DIANE FREDERICKS.
MR. MASON.
YOU ALONE?
WELL, THAT WAS THE IDEA.
WOULD YOU CARE TO JOIN ME?
SEE HOW SMART YOU ARE.
THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS,
I, UH, I NEED YOUR ADVICE.
SEE, I REPRESENT
A GROUP OF INVESTORS,
AND THEY WANT
TO BUY A WINNER.
AND I'M INTERESTED
IN RED SAND, AS YOU KNOW.
MAYBE TOO INTERESTED.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I'D SAY FORGET IT.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT RED SAND.
HMM.
WELL, I GUESS
WE MADE A MISTAKE
WHEN WE TIMED
THE WORKOUT, HUH?
BELIEVE IT.
IF THAT HORSE COULD RUN
THAT FAST, I'D KNOW ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT?
I GOT A VERY BAD CASE
OF WISHFUL THINKING.
SEE, I'D GET A COMMISSION
FROM THESE PEOPLE I REPRESENT,
AND THINGS HAVE BEEN
JUST A LITTLE BIT LEAN.
THINGS COULDN'T BE
THAT BAD.
RINALDO STAKES
ARE RUNNING SATURDAY.
I'M LAYING $50,000
ON KING'S FRIEND.
LET'S JUST SAY,
FIVE OF THAT IS FOR YOU.
WOW! YOU SURE GET A GIRL
WHERE SHE LIVES.
IS IT A DATE?
BELIEVE IT.
DINNER?
I'D LOVE IT.
IF YOU HAVE A DIME,
I'LL CANCEL MY PLANS.
THANK YOU.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO.
DONOVAN, I'VE BEEN AUTHORIZED
TO OFFER $60,000 FOR RED SAND.
I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.
SORRY, TRASK, THE LADY
OFFERED ME $60,000.
NOW IF --
[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]
YEAH?
JUST A MINUTE.
FOR YOU.
HELLO.
DID DONOVAN JUST GET A CALL
FROM THE LITTLE LADY?
YEAH, HOW DID YOU KNOW?
I OVERHEARD
THE CONVERSATION.
I ALSO FOUND OUT
WHO SHE'S FRONTING FOR.
WHO?
Mason.
ALL RIGHT.
HERE'S WHAT
YOU'RE GOING TO DO.
[ GASPS ]
ALL RIGHT, PRETTY LADY.
THE GAME'S OVER.
YOU GET ON THAT PHONE
AND YOU CALL DONOVAN
AND YOU TELL HIM
THAT YOU AND, UH,
WHOEVER YOU'RE
FRONTING FOR --
WELL, YOU JUST TELL HIM
YOU AIN'T INTERESTED
IN RED SAND.
PLEASE,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT --
CALL HIM.
HELLO, DONOVAN?
YES.
WELL, YES, BUT YOU --
I SEE.
ALL RIGHT.
RED SAND IS YOURS.
HERE YOU ARE.
THIS IS ONLY $50,000.
I DON'T SEE THAT YOU HAVE
ANY OTHER TAKERS.
DO YOU, DONOVAN?
YOUR BILL OF SALE
AND THE REGISTRATION.
CONDITIONS ARE RED SAND
WILL CARRY MY COLORS
IN THE RINALDO STAKES,
AND SINCE
I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO BREAK IN A NEW TRAINER
AND JOCKEY,
I WANT PRESSY
AND THE OTHER BOY.
SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS
WITH YOU, MR. DONOVAN.
[ BEEPING ]
DEAL'S SET, BARNEY.
WE'VE GOT $100,000 LAID OFF
ON MASON'S BOOKS
ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY --
20 BETS AT $5,000 EACH.
GOOD.
WE COLLECT FOUR MILLION.
IF RED SAND WINS.
WE GOT A LITTLE
UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOUR BOY MADE IT
PERFECTLY CLEAR.
LOOK, YOU CAN'T PLAY BOTH
SIDES OF THE STREET WITH ME
AND GET AWAY WITH IT.
I'M JUST A WORKING GIRL.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE YOU
WON'T BE WORKING SO GOOD
IF SOMEBODY WERE
TO DO SOMETHING
TO THAT PRETTY FACE
OF YOURS.
LOOK, YOU'RE
AN OLD HORSE-TRADER.
EVERYTHING'S FAIR.
WHAT'S BETWEEN YOU
AND MASON ANYWAY?
BUSINESS.
STRICTLY BUSINESS.
I FIGURED MAYBE
THAT YOU DUG ME,
JUST A LITTLE, MAYBE. HUH?
MAYBE I DO...
A LITTLE.
HOW MUCH DOES MASON KNOW?
WELL, HE DOESN'T KNOW
THAT YOU SENT
YOUR GOON OVER HERE
TO FRIGHTEN ME OFF!
WELL, WHAT DID YOU
TELL HIM, ANYWAY?
I TOLD HIM THAT DONOVAN
HAD CHANGED HIS MIND
ABOUT SELLING.
THAT'S GOOD.
YEAH, NOW YOU GO ON
AND KEEP PACKING
AND GET OUT OF THIS TOWN
FOR GOOD, HEAR?
YOU'LL KEEP YOUR HEALTH
THAT WAY.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
YOU'RE OKAY?
I'M GLAD TO KNOW
YOU WERE OUT THERE.
$10,000, KING'S FRIEND.
[ BEEPING ]
KNOW HIM?
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DO.
LET'S FIND OUT
WHAT HIS ACTION IS.
...BY HALF A LENGTH.
...IS SECOND BY A NECK.
DREAM DEMON IS THIRD.
CHESTNUT KING HAS NOW MOVED
INTO FOURTH BY A LENGTH.
IT'S BINGO HOLDING HIS LEAD
OVER FEARLESS CHAMP...
MR. MASON.
I GOT A POLICY,
MR. DONOVAN --
SOMEONE LAYS 10 "G's" ON
A HORSE IN ONE OF MY PARLORS,
I HEAR ABOUT IT.
YOU JUST LAID 10 "G's"
ON KING'S FRIEND.
SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THAT?
YEAH,
IT MAKES ME WONDER.
YOU OWN A HORSE
NAMED RED SAND,
AND YOU GOT ED TRASK
CONVINCED
SHE'S ANOTHER SEA BISCUIT.
I DON'T OWN RED SAND
ANYMORE.
COME ON.
WHO DOES OWN RED SAND,
MR. DONOVAN?
TRASK BOUGHT THE HORSE
YESTERDAY FOR $50,000.
I CHECKED HER PERFORMANCE
RECORD, DONOVAN.
THAT'S QUITE A PRICE
FOR AN UNPROVEN FILLY.
WHERE DID YOU GET HER?
MNH-MNH. MY BUSINESS.
ED TRASK IS AN ASSOCIATE
OF MINE, MR. DONOVAN.
I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA
OF ANYBODY CONNING HIM.
WHERE DID YOU GET
THE HORSE?
COLORADO.
A LITTLE STABLE UP THERE.
HOW DID YOU CONVINCE TRASK
SHE COULD RUN?
WELL, I, UH,
JIMMIED HIS STOPWATCH
AND PRESSY THE JOCKEY
WORKS FOR ME.
TRASK --
THE BIG HORSE-TRADER --
HE'LL NEVER LEARN.
IT'S ALMOST FUNNY.
YOU BOOK MY BET?
YEAH.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO.
WAIT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
MEMORY CELL.
SOMEBODY SWITCHED
THIS ONE IN.
PROBABLY THAT GUY
I TANGLED WITH.
HE WANTED US TO THINK
HE WAS AFTER THE DOUGH.
WHAT RACE
DOES THAT CONTROL?
UH, SEVENTH RACE, SEVENTH
HORSE, PARADISE PARK.
SEVEN. THAT'S RED SAND.
THE ODDS WOULD HAVE STAYED
AT 40 TO 1
NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY
WAS BET ON HER.
IF IT WASN'T
FOR THAT MALFUNCTION,
WE WOULD HAVE
NEVER KNOWN IT.
HEY, TRASK SAID HE WAS GOING
TO BET $100,000 ON RED SAND,
5 BY 20.
OF COURSE, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
JUST TALK.
THERE IS $100,000 ON HER.
IN FACT, THEY TRIED
TO HIDE IT. 20 BETS.
FROM WHERE?
DALLAS, DETROIT,
UH, NEW YORK.
HE TRIED TO STICK ME
FOR $100,000 AT 40 TO 1.
$4 MILLION -- THAT'S QUITE
A FRIEND, MR. MASON.
YEAH, MY FRIEND IS GOING
TO WIND UP WITH A BROKEN HEAD.
YOU GO PICK HIM UP.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHY DON'T YOU BEAT TRASK
AT HIS OWN GAME?
TAKE HIS $100,000?
SURE, WHY NOT?
KING'S FRIEND IS STILL
THE BEST HORSE IN THE RACE.
I GOT $10,000 ON IT.
YOU WIN. I WIN.
EVERYBODY WINS BUT TRASK.
STEP OUTSIDE FOR A MINUTE,
MR. DONOVAN.
SURE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IF HE'S RIGHT,
TRASK DESERVES TO GET NAILED.
IF HE'S WRONG,
WE GOT PROTECTION.
IF ANY HORSE BUT KING'S FRIEND
COMES NEAR THAT FINISH LINE,
YOU SHOOT HIM.
THEN NOBODY'S A WINNER.
MIDNIGHT CALLER IS THIRD,
AND HERE COMES BETTER'S PAL.
IN THE STRETCH,
IT'S BANDANAGE AND
SALLY'S FRIEND HEAD TO HEAD.
IT'S BANDANAGE IN FRONT.
BANDANAGE IS A WINNER
BY A HALF-LENGTH.
SALLY'S FRIEND IS SECOND
IN FRONT OF MIDNIGHT CALLER.
FINAL TIME -- SIX FURLONGS,
1:12 AND 4/5 SECONDS.
YOU HANDLE HER JUST LIKE YOU
DID IN THE WORKOUTS --
ALL OUT ALL THE WAY.
RIGHT.
DON'T WORRY, MR. TRASK,
YOU'VE GOT A WINNER.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
GO GET 'EM.
[ BUGLE CALL PLAYS ]
MR. MASON.
I SEE YOU BOUGHT YOURSELF
A HORSE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
AND WE'RE GOING
TO FIND OUT TODAY
WHO KNOWS MORE
ABOUT HORSES --
YOUR FORM BOOKS OR ME.
AREN'T YOU GOING
TO SIT WITH ME, ED?
NOT TODAY, THANKS.
I'VE GOT MY OWN BOX
IN THE OWNER'S SECTION.
YOU TAKE HIM, YOU HEAR?
WE'LL GET THE JOB DONE.
LET'S GO.
I SURE WOULD LIKE
THE PLEASURE OF
YOUR COMPANY, MR. DONOVAN,
JUST IN CASE

IS RED SAND
AND JOCKEY NICK PRESSY.
I WAS TOO LATE.
THEY ALL PAID OFF.
WHAT?
YEAH, THAT DONOVAN GUY
HELD A GUN ON ME
TILL IT WAS TOO LATE.
OH, I GET IT.
I GET IT ALL.
I'VE BEEN TAKEN.
I JUST LOST $4 MILLION
OF THE SYNDICATE'S MONEY.
TRASK.
HE AIN'T GOING
TO GET THE PAYOFF

SO MUCH FOR FREE ENTERPRISE.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.
THE TWO MEN
YOU ARE LOOKING AT
ARE EDWARD TRASK
AND FRANK MASON.
MASON HAS RECENTLY
BEEN GIVEN CONTROL
OF THE SYNDICATE'S
ILLEGAL BETTING PARLORS.
HE HAS MODERNIZED
THE OPERATIONS
WITH COMPUTERIZED TOTE BOARDS
AND PUT TIE LINES
BETWEEN HIS PARLORS
IN CITIES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.
TRASK HAS BEEN ASSIGNED THE JOB
OF REMOVING THE COMPETITION
IN THESE CITIES,
WHICH HE IS DOING WITHOUT
REGARD FOR LIFE OR PROPERTY.
CONVENTIONAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
HAVE BEEN UNABLE
TO GATHER SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
FOR THE ARREST OF THESE MEN.
YOUR MISSION, JIM,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,
IS TO BREAK UP
THIS DEADLY ALLIANCE
AND THUS PREVENT
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FROM BEING FUNNELED
INTO SYNDICATE COFFERS.
THIS TAPE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT
IN FIVE SECONDS.
GOOD LUCK, JIM.
[ SIZZLING ]
[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME

[ FILM PROJECTOR HUMMING ]
THAT'S SOME FILLY!
THAT WAS LUCKY LADY'S
BIG RACE IN RIO LAST MONTH.
WHEN WILL SHE BE HERE?
SHE'S FLYING IN
THIS AFTERNOON, CASEY.
BE OUT OF QUARANTINE
TOMORROW.
THE RACETRACK
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION
AND THE THOROUGHBRED CLUB HAVE
GIVEN US THEIR COOPERATION
SO THAT WE CAN CHANGE HER
REGISTRATION TEMPORARILY.
MY TRAINER'S PAPERS
CAME THROUGH OKAY.
GOOD. THE HORSE'S
PAST PERFORMANCE CHARTS
WERE PLANTED IN THE NEWSPAPER
MORGUES YESTERDAY.
TRASK HASN'T HAD MUCH LUCK
WITH ANY OF THE HORSES
HE'S OWNED, HUH?
HE'S NEVER HAD
A GREAT HORSE, CASEY --
NOT EVEN A GOOD ONE.
HE WANTS ONE DESPERATELY.
RIGHT. HE GREW UP
AROUND RACETRACKS.
TO HIM, A WINNING HORSE IS
THE KIND OF CLASS AND PRESTIGE
THAT HE DREAMT ABOUT
AS A KID --
THE KIND YOU DON'T GET
AS A SYNDICATE ENFORCER.
THAT'S WHY HE'S SO JEALOUS OF
MASON'S HORSE, KING'S FRIEND.
WHAT ABOUT THE BILL
OF SALE?
THERE ARE ENOUGH
INCONSISTENCIES HERE
THAT WOULD INVALIDATE IT.
NICK, CAN SHE REALLY RUN FAST
ENOUGH TO BEAT MASON'S HORSE?
I THINK SO.
THE QUESTION IS,
WILL TRASK THINK SO?
CASEY.
START IT, NICK.
MAGNETIC INHIBITOR,
SLOWS THE MECHANISM DOWN.
MAKES A GOOD HORSE
LOOK GREAT.
SO, THE REST IS UP TO US
AND TO THE HORSE THAT TRASK
WILL KNOW AS RED SAND.
LET'S HOPE THAT OUR HORSE
CAN BEAT KING'S FRIEND.
OH, THAT KING'S FRIEND
GETS BETTER
EVERY TIME I SEE HER.
IF SHE'S TOO GOOD,
MASON WON'T SELL HER TO YOU.
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PRICE,
JEFFERS.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
YOU WON'T GET AWAY
WITH THIS, DONOVAN.
I ALREADY HAVE,
MISS FREDERICKS.
THE HORSE IS MINE.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST BE A
GRACIOUS LOSER AND RUN ALONG?
I'LL REPORT YOU
TO THE RACING COMMISSION!
FOR WHAT, BEING A BETTER
HORSE-TRADER THAN YOU?!
RED SAND WAS MY HORSE.
I HAD THE DEAL.
YOU CHEAT ME OUT OF IT!
AH, THE CAT HAS CLAWS, HUH?
HEY, THAT'S NO WAY TO TREAT
A LADY, MISTER!
DONOVAN'S THE NAME,
AND THAT'S NO LADY.
YOU WON'T GET AWAY
WITH IT, DONOVAN.
[ TIRES SCREECH ]
SORRY ABOUT THAT,
MR. TRASK.
SHE'S A WILD ONE.
YOU KNOW ME, HUH?
YEAH, I'VE BEEN AROUND.
FINE-LOOKING ANIMAL.
GET HER INSIDE.
YOU GOING
TO ENTER HER HERE?
UH, WELL, THAT DEPENDS
ON WHETHER SHE'S READY.
PROBABLY NOT.
SORRY, YOU'LL HAVE
TO EXCUSE ME.
I'M BUSY.
HE DOESN'T LIKE TO TALK MUCH
ABOUT THE HORSE, DOES HE?
GO FIND OUT WHERE
THE GIRL'S STAYING, HEAR?
QUICK, GO ON.
RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU SAY, MASON?
WHAT ABOUT THE HORSE?
I TOLD YOU A DOZEN TIMES, TRASK,
KING'S FRIEND IS NOT FOR SALE.
HORSES ARE AT THE GATE.
TELEPHONE?
COME ON, NOW.
I WANT THE HORSE.
YOU WANT, I KNOW, YOU WANT.
TRASK, TAKE FROM EVERYBODY
ELSE, BUT NOT FROM ME.
WE GOT TOO MUCH BUSINESS
TOGETHER.
I'LL TAKE 20 ACROSS
ON BLACK KNIGHT.
[ Sarcastically ]
WELL, DO COME IN.
I ALREADY HAVE.
SO I NOTICED.
NOW TRY AND EXIT, OKAY?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN WHO YOU ARE, PRETTY LADY.
I AM THE PRETTY LADY WHO
IS GOING TO CALL THE COPS
IF YOU DON'T GET OUT
OF MY ROOM.
[ CHUCKLING ]
FIRST, I'M GOING TO
ASK YOU ONE QUESTION --
JUST WHO IS DONOVAN?
DONOVAN
IS A CHEATING CREEP.
WHAT ABOUT HIS HORSE?
YOU SAID ONE QUESTION.
I LIED.
HE GOT IT
FROM A MAN NAMED RAMIREZ.
HOW GOOD IS SHE?
NOT VERY.
FUNNY, I DIDN'T GET
THAT IMPRESSION.
I REALLY COULDN'T
CARE LESS.
I HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
SHE'S BEEN HERE TWO WEEKS.
SOME GUY IS PAYING
HER RENT, IN CASH.
AND SHE'S GOT
A RENTED CAR.
SHE'S GOT A FRIEND.

AND I GOT STOOD UP.
THAT'S A NICE ANGLE.
HAVE YOU HAD DINNER?
NO, I HAVEN'T,
BUT I'M VERY HUNGRY.
MR. TRASK, PLEASE,
NOT BEFORE DINNER, HUH?
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DRINK,
MISS FREDERICKS?
UM, SCOTCH, TWO FINGERS,
ON THE ROCKS...PLEASE.
TO GOOD TIMES.
NO.
WHY?
WHY WHAT?
WHY YOU AND ME TONIGHT?
WHY NOT?
YOU WEREN'T EXACTLY THRILLED
WITH MY BEING AROUND YOU
THIS AFTERNOON.
WELL, I THOUGHT IT OVER,
AND I DECIDED NOT TO LET SOME
DUMB HORSE GET ME SO EXCITED
WHEN THERE ARE MORE...
ENJOYABLE PURSUITS.
THEN THE HORSE
IS "N.G."?
RIGHT.
HEY, THEN WHAT ARE YOU
GETTING SO BENT OUT OF SHAPE
ABOUT DONOVAN FOR, HMM?

WHAT THEY CAN'T HAVE.

GO WHERE?

TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE HORSE.

NOT WORRIED ENOUGH.

OF A BIG NIGHT OUT?

TURNS ME ON!

WHAT DID YOU DO?
I WAS JUST CURIOUS.

LATE ENOUGH LAST NIGHT,
YOU WOULDN'T MAKE IT
THIS MORNING.
AWW, TWO MINDS
THAT WORK AS ONE.
HE'S WORKING HER
BETWEEN POLES.
HE'S NOT TOO ANXIOUS
FOR ANYBODY
TO TIME HER, IS HE?
GOOD?
JUST 1/5 SECOND
OFF THE TRACK RECORD.
HOW'D SHE RESPOND?
RESPONDED GREAT.
HOW'D SHE CLOCK?
I DIDN'T CLOCK HER.
WHY NOT?
FORGOT MY WATCH!
TOO BAD,
SHE WAS REALLY FLYING.

I GOT 57.1.
WHAT DID YOU GET?
OH, YOUR WATCH MUST BE
MESSED UP, MR. TRASK.
I DON'T THINK SO,
MR. DONOVAN.
OH, NO.

FASTER THAN KING'S FRIEND.

OH, HE KNOWS.
HE KNOWS I KNOW, TOO.

WHAT DID RED SAND
REALLY DO?
57.4.
IT'S REALLY GOING TO BE
A HORSE RACE.
IT WAS BLEACHED
WITH A LASER.
I THOUGHT SO.
IT'S THE LATEST TECHNIQUE
FOR MARKING ANIMALS --
SAFE AND PAINLESS.
CAN YOU TELL HOW LONG AGO
IT WAS DONE?
I'D SAY VERY RECENTLY.
MUST HAVE CHANGED

AT 57.1

WE THINK HE'S BEING HELD BACK
TO BUILD THE ODDS
SO HE CAN MAKE
A BIG KILLING LATER.
KNOW WHAT I THINK,

I THINK YOU NEED
A NEW STOPWATCH.

FASTEST THING ON THE TRACK.

AND ITS RUNNING HABITS.

ANYWHERE NEAR 57.1 IS MINE.

THAT'S HER TOTAL ASSETS.

WHEN WE TIMED

CALL HIM.

YES.
WELL, YES, BUT YOU --
I SEE.
ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS ONLY $50,000.
I DON'T SEE THAT YOU HAVE
ANY OTHER TAKERS.
DO YOU, DONOVAN?
YOUR BILL OF SALE
AND THE REGISTRATION.

WILL CARRY MY COLORS
IN THE RINALDO STAKES,
AND SINCE
I DON'T HAVE TIME
TO BREAK IN A NEW TRAINER

PERFECTLY CLEAR.
LOOK, YOU CAN'T PLAY BOTH
SIDES OF THE STREET WITH ME
AND GET AWAY WITH IT.

WON'T BE WORKING SO GOOD
IF SOMEBODY WERE
TO DO SOMETHING
TO THAT PRETTY FACE
OF YOURS.

EVERYTHING'S FAIR.
WHAT'S BETWEEN YOU
AND MASON ANYWAY?

STRICTLY BUSINESS.

THAT YOU DUG ME,
JUST A LITTLE, MAYBE. HUH?
MAYBE I DO...
A LITTLE.
HOW MUCH DOES MASON KNOW?
WELL, HE DOESN'T KNOW
THAT YOU SENT
YOUR GOON OVER HERE
TO FRIGHTEN ME OFF!
WELL, WHAT DID YOU
TELL HIM, ANYWAY?
I TOLD HIM THAT DONOVAN
HAD CHANGED HIS MIND
ABOUT SELLING.
THAT'S GOOD.
YEAH, NOW YOU GO ON
AND KEEP PACKING
AND GET OUT OF THIS TOWN

THAT WAY.

MR. DONOVAN --
SOMEONE LAYS 10 "G's" ON
A HORSE IN ONE OF MY PARLORS,
I HEAR ABOUT IT.
YOU JUST LAID 10 "G's"
ON KING'S FRIEND.
SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THAT?
YEAH,
IT MAKES ME WONDER.
YOU OWN A HORSE
NAMED RED SAND,
AND YOU GOT ED TRASK
CONVINCED
SHE'S ANOTHER SEA BISCUIT.
I DON'T OWN RED SAND
ANYMORE.
COME ON.
WHO DOES OWN RED SAND,
MR. DONOVAN?
TRASK BOUGHT THE HORSE
YESTERDAY FOR $50,000.
I CHECKED HER PERFORMANCE
RECORD, DONOVAN.
THAT'S QUITE A PRICE
FOR AN UNPROVEN FILLY.
WHERE DID YOU GET HER?
MNH-MNH. MY BUSINESS.
ED TRASK IS AN ASSOCIATE
OF MINE, MR. DONOVAN.
I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA
OF ANYBODY CONNING HIM.
WHERE DID YOU GET
THE HORSE?
COLORADO.
A LITTLE STABLE UP THERE.
HOW DID YOU CONVINCE TRASK
SHE COULD RUN?
WELL, I, UH,
JIMMIED HIS STOPWATCH
AND PRESSY THE JOCKEY
WORKS FOR ME.
TRASK --
THE BIG HORSE-TRADER --
HE'LL NEVER LEARN.
IT'S ALMOST FUNNY.
YOU BOOK MY BET?
YEAH.
[ RINGS ]
HELLO.
WAIT.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.

THIS ONE IN.
PROBABLY THAT GUY
I TANGLED WITH.
HE WANTED US TO THINK
HE WAS AFTER THE DOUGH.

DOES THAT CONTROL?
UH, SEVENTH RACE, SEVENTH
HORSE, PARADISE PARK.
SEVEN. THAT'S RED SAND.
THE ODDS WOULD HAVE STAYED
AT 40 TO 1
NO MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY
WAS BET ON HER.
IF IT WASN'T
FOR THAT MALFUNCTION,
WE WOULD HAVE
NEVER KNOWN IT.
HEY, TRASK SAID HE WAS GOING
TO BET $100,000 ON RED SAND,
5 BY 20.
OF COURSE, THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
JUST TALK.
THERE IS $100,000 ON HER.
IN FACT, THEY TRIED
TO HIDE IT. 20 BETS.
FROM WHERE?
DALLAS, DETROIT,
UH, NEW YORK.
HE TRIED TO STICK ME
FOR $100,000 AT 40 TO 1.
$4 MILLION -- THAT'S QUITE
A FRIEND, MR. MASON.
YEAH, MY FRIEND IS GOING
TO WIND UP WITH A BROKEN HEAD.
YOU GO PICK HIM UP.
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
WHY DON'T YOU BEAT TRASK
AT HIS OWN GAME?
TAKE HIS $100,000?
SURE, WHY NOT?
KING'S FRIEND IS STILL
THE BEST HORSE IN THE RACE.
I GOT $10,000 ON IT.
YOU WIN. I WIN.
EVERYBODY WINS BUT TRASK.
STEP OUTSIDE FOR A MINUTE,
MR. DONOVAN.
SURE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IF HE'S RIGHT,
TRASK DESERVES TO GET NAILED.
IF HE'S WRONG,
WE GOT PROTECTION.
IF ANY HORSE BUT KING'S FRIEND
COMES NEAR THAT FINISH LINE,
YOU SHOOT HIM.
THEN NOBODY'S A WINNER.
MIDNIGHT CALLER IS THIRD,
AND HERE COMES BETTER'S PAL.
IN THE STRETCH,
IT'S BANDANAGE AND
SALLY'S FRIEND HEAD TO HEAD.
IT'S BANDANAGE IN FRONT.
BANDANAGE IS A WINNER
BY A HALF-LENGTH.
SALLY'S FRIEND IS SECOND
IN FRONT OF MIDNIGHT CALLER.
FINAL TIME -- SIX FURLONGS,
1:12 AND 4/5 SECONDS.
YOU HANDLE HER JUST LIKE YOU
DID IN THE WORKOUTS --
ALL OUT ALL THE WAY.
RIGHT.
DON'T WORRY, MR. TRASK,
YOU'VE GOT A WINNER.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT.
GO GET 'EM.
