[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
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
A LOT 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 SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KEEP
ALL FOUR WHEELS ON THE GROUND...
AND MAKE A LIVING
AT THE SAME TIME.
WE'RE READY TO GO. WHAT
HAPPENED TO SEAVERS?
COLT'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
HE'S ABSOLUTELY THE BEST.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I
HAVE SUCH A SOFT HEART.
COLT!
ARE YOU IN THERE?
WELL, HE'S GOTTA BE
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
I'LL CHECK THE SET.
YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I COULD'VE SWORN IT WAS TOMORROW.
I DOUBLE-CHECKED AND EVERYTHING.
WELL, NEXT TIME, TRIPLE-CHECK.
A LITTLE SHOWBIZ MISTAKE, OKAY?
BUT YOUR LITTLE MISTAKES
HAVE A WAY OF ADDIN' UP.
I'M SORRY! FORGET IT. I DON'T WANT
YOU TO FEEL GUILTY OR ANYTHING.
GUILTY? IT WAS AN HONEST
MISTAKE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.
RIGHT NOW, I GOT A
GAG TO DO. GOOD LUCK.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE TRAILER.
WELL, GLAD YOU
COULD MAKE IT, COLT.
YOU DIDN'T THINK I'D DREAM UP THIS STUNT
AND NOT SHOW UP TO SHOOT IT, DID YOU?
ME? NO. THE THOUGHT NEVER
CROSSED MY MIND. YEAH, UH-HUH.
WELL, LET'S GET
WITH IT. WARDROBE.
HELLO?
HELLO.
I'M COLEEN WILCOX. BIG
JACK BROUGHT ME HERE.
I GUESS SHE WENT TO
GO FIND YOU. SHE DID?
WELL, I GUESS A STUNTMAN
IS PRETTY HARD TO PIN DOWN.
WELL, NOT ALWAYS.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, IT'S, UM, KIND
OF COMPLICATED.
COULD I TALK TO YOU
IN PRIVATE? CERTAINLY.
I LOVE TO TALK IN PRIVATE.
THANK YOU.
I FIGURED THEY ALL
STARTED AT A YOUNG AGE.
YOU KNOW, FALLING OFF TRICYCLES,
PUSHING THEIR GO-CARTS INTO WALLS.
THESE STUNTMEN ARE
DEFINITELY NOT ALL THERE.
YOU ALL SET, COLT?
AS READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
GOOD LUCK, JODY.
SAME TO YOU, COLT.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECTED WITH THIS SHOT, PLEASE STAY BACK.
- READY, COLT?
- YEAH. THAT'S A 10-4.
OKAY, LET'S DO IT. ROLL, PLEASE.
AND ACTION!
[Man On P.A.] BOTH CAMERAS
ROLLING. OKAY, GUYS, IN YOUR CARS.
STRAP IN.
START 'EM UP.
BOTH CARS COME AHEAD.
[Colt On Radio] COMING
UP ON YOU, JODY.
FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
CLOSER, JODY! CLOSER!
I CAN'T, COLT!
CUT. PRINT. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
IF YOU ASK ME, THEY'VE BOTH COME IN A
FEW TIMES WITH THEIR LANDING GEAR UP.
YOU DID IT AGAIN,
COLT. FANTASTIC.
PIECE OF CAKE. YOU TOO, JODY.
THANKS. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL
DO THE CLOSE-UPS NEXT.
I'LL NEED THE PRINCIPALS IN ABOUT
10 MINUTES. WHAT'S THE MATTER, JODY?
YOU LOOK A LITTLE PALE. ONLY BECAUSE
YOU ONLY SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH.
I TOLD YOU IT WAS
GONNA BE TIGHT. TIGHT?
THAT FIT WAS TIGHTER
THAN MY FRENCH JEANS.
WELL, THEY LOOK GOOD TO ME.
WE GOTTA GET MORE
STUNT GIRLS AROUND HERE.
[Coleen] I DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING.
THAT'S USUALLY THE BEST WAY.
I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST THAT I'M SO
RELIEVED TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
[Door Opens]
EXCUSE ME. I HOPE
I'M NOT INTERRUPTING.
WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT... DO YOU ALWAYS
ALLOW PEOPLE TO BARGE IN TO YOUR TRAILER?
HIS TRAILER?
WELL, YES. IT SAYS "COLT
SEAVERS" RIGHT ON THE DOOR.
WELL, I KNOW. I'M COLT SEAVERS.
WELL, IF YOU'RE COLT
SEAVERS, THEN WHO ARE YOU?
WELL, I'M HOWARD MUNSON.
COLT AND I ARE PARTNERS.
YOU MEAN ALL THIS TIME,
YOU WANTED TO TALK TO COLT?
OH, THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING.
HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT
IT. IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.
PEOPLE CONFUSE US ALL
THE TIME. COLT, THIS IS COLEEN.
- COLEEN, THIS IS COLT SEAVERS.
- HOW DO YOU DO, MA'AM?
WELL, I SEE YOU'VE
ALL MET EACH OTHER.
- BIG JACK,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- I BROUGHT COLEEN.
SHE SAID THAT IF ANYONE
COULD HELP ME, IT WOULD BE YOU.
HELP YOU DO WHAT?
WELL, COLEEN WILL
EXPLAIN. I JUST GOT BEEPED.
I'VE GOTTA GO HELP SOME POOR SOUL
WITH HIS BAIL. I'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER.
[Colt] WAIT A MINUTE, JACK.
BYE. IF THIS ISN'T A
BAIL CASE, WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T TALK NOW. I
GOTTA GO. I'LL COME WITH YOU.
[Coleen] PLEASE, COLT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
YOU WANNA TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT?
DOES THE NAME LONNIE
WILCOX MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
LON WILCOX? SURE.
THAT MISERABLE BUM.
THAT MISERABLE BUM
IS MY BROTHER. [Sighs]
WELL, LOOK, FIRST
IMPRESSIONS ARE MISLEADING.
HE WASN'T SUCH A BAD
GUY IF YOU GOT TO KNOW HIM.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LIE, MR. SEAVERS.
LONNIE IS A SPOILED, ROTTEN CHILD
WHO'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT TROUBLE.
BUT HE IS MY BROTHER. HE'S YOUR
BROTHER? THAT GUY'S YOUR BROTHER?
YES, AND HE NEEDS HELP.
YEAH, WELL, WHAT'D HE DO NOW?
WELL, AS YOU MAY RECALL, HE HAS
SOMETHING OF A GAMBLING PROBLEM.
PROBLEM? LADY, HE WAS A JUNKIE
WHEN IT CAME TO SPORTS BETTING.
YEAH, WELL, IT FINALLY
CAUGHT UP TO HIM.
HE OWES A FORTUNE TO SOME
RATHER UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESSMEN.
BUSINESSMEN? AS IN BOOKIE?
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT...
TWO MEN CAME TO MINNEAPOLIS
AND THREATENED ME.
I TOLD THEM I HAD NO IDEA WHERE
LONNIE WAS. WAS THAT THE TRUTH?
NO. I HAD TO PROTECT HIM.
LONNIE'S HERE IN L.A.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
LAST WEEK WAS THE
ANNIVERSARY OF MY MOTHER'S
FUNERAL. LONNIE
ALWAYS SENDS FLOWERS.
I HAD THE ORDER TRACED
BACK HERE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
LONNIE PAID FOR THE
FLOWERS IN CASH, AND
NOBODY SEEMS TO REMEMBER
ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
COLEEN, I'D LIKE TO HELP
YOU, BUT I'M A BOUNTY HUNTER.
I ONLY GO AFTER A MAN IF THERE'S
A COURT ORDER TO BRING HIM BACK.
WHAT YOU NEED IS A
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR,
A MAN WHO'S LICENSED TO
LOOK FOR MISSING PERSONS.
BUT YOU KNOW LONNIE. YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
YOU KNOW HIS HABITS.
YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON WHO
WAS ABLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN LAST TIME.
MR. SEAVERS, I HAVE
$10,000 IN THE BANK.
IT'S ALL I'VE GOT,
AND IT'S YOURS.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME FIND MY
BROTHER BEFORE THOSE GANGSTERS DO.
[Sobbing]
HEY, HEY, IT CAN'T
BE ALL THAT BAD NOW.
I FEEL SO STUPID CRYING
IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE THIS.
LOOK, UH, YOU'RE GONNA
FIND YOUR BROTHER.
YOU MEAN YOU'LL HELP ME?
NO, BUT I CAN PUT YOU IN
TOUCH WITH SOMEBODY WHO WILL.
COME ON.
[Colt] MOBILE OPERATOR,
PLEASE. WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
NAMED HARVEY MEDINA.
BUT HE'S NOT THERE. IT'S
AN ANSWERING MACHINE.
I HATE TALKING ON THOSE
MACHINES. HARVEY, IT'S COLT SEAVERS.
GIVE ME A CALL ON THE SET
WHEN YOU GET IN, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
THE MACHINE SAID HE'D
BE BACK AROUND 5:00.
WHY DON'T I TAKE
YOU TO YOUR HOTEL?
- THEN WHEN HE CALLS ME,
THEN I'LL HAVE HIM CALL YOU.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT? I HAVEN'T
DONE ANYTHING.
I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST
THAT I FEEL SO HELPLESS.
COLEEN, DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
IN A LIGHT BLUE CHRYSLER?
WHAT? A LIGHT BLUE CHRYSLER.
HOW COULD I? I'VE NEVER
BEEN TO L.A. BEFORE.
- GET ON THE FLOOR, QUICK.
- WHAT?
GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR, QUICK!
[Screams]
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK YOU TWISTED MY NECK
WHEN YOU THREW ME ON THE GROUND.
THOSE GUYS HAD SHOTGUNS, WHICH IS NOT
THE WAY A BOOKIE NORMALLY COLLECTS DEBTS.
SO WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?
I'VE DRIVEN DOWN THIS STREET A LOT.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER BEEN SHOT AT.
- I'VE TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
NOW YOU WANNA TELL ME THE TRUTH?
OKAY. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THOSE
MEN IN MINNEAPOLIS TOLD ME.
THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GONNA
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF LONNIE,
THAT THEY WERE GONNA KILL HIM AND
ANYONE ELSE THAT GOT IN THEIR WAY.
[Sighs]
COLT, I DON'T BLAME YOU
FOR NOT GETTING INVOLVED.
LOOK, I'LL PAY FOR THE
DAMAGES TO YOUR TRUCK.
THE MONEY'S AT MY
HOTEL. FORGET THE HOTEL.
- WELL, THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING?
- MY PLACE.
YOUR PLACE? LOOK, IT'S
TEMPORARY, BELIEVE ME.
ONCE I GET HARVEY, I'M GONNA PUT YOU
IN HIS HANDS. YOU'LL BE A LOT BETTER OFF.
I HAVEN'T FELT SAFER IN WEEKS.
I'M PUTTING YOU TO SO MUCH
TROUBLE. I FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT IT.
YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY AFTER I MAKE THIS PHONE CALL.
HARVEY LOVES OTHER
PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS.
COLT, I MEAN IT.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
YEAH, HARVEY. COLT SEAVERS.
YEAH, I'VE GOT A CASE FOR YOU. IT'S A
YOUNG LADY WHO'S LOOKING FOR HER BROTHER.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S
WORTH $10,000 TO YOU.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A
GUY NAMED LON WILCOX.
RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,
POLICE HEADQUARTERS. I'LL BE THERE.
GOOD NIGHT, HARVEY. DON'T TELL
ME. HARV COULD USE THE WORK.
YOU GOT YOURSELF A
FIRST-CLASS DETECTIVE.
I WAS GROWING ATTACHED
TO THE ONE I HAD.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T
KNOW HARV. HE'S THE BEST.
AND I KEEP TELLING YOU I'M
NOT A DETECTIVE. I'M A STUNTMAN.
AND A VERY HANDSOME ONE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, AND I THINK
WE NEED TO GET YOU INTO BED...
UH, TO SLEEP.
WELL, WHERE ARE YOU GONNA SLEEP?
OUT ON THE COUCH. LOOK, LOOK.
I'LL STAY ON THE COUCH, AND
YOU CAN STAY IN HERE, OKAY?
IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
OH, NO, NO. I'LL BE FINE.
AND THAT WAY, IF ANYBODY TRIES
TO BREAK IN, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
COLT? YO! COLT, YOU UP YET?
- UH... COLEEN.
- [Sighs]
I'M SORRY.
GOOD MORNING, KID.
YOU'RE AMAZING. NOW I KNOW WHY YOU WANTED
ME TO SLEEP IN THE TRAILER LAST NIGHT.
HEY, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU
THINK. OF COURSE NOT.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GONNA TELL
ME YOU SLEPT ON THE COUCH, HUH?
YEAH, WELL, I GOT THE
BACKACHE TO PROVE IT.
GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
COLT, THANKS FOR THE USE
OF YOUR SHIRT AND YOUR BED.
I GOT A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
KID, I WANT YOU TO
STAY AND WATCH COLEEN.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TO GET HARVEY
STARTED LOOKING FOR YOUR BROTHER.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED
TO GET RID OF ME?
AND I WILL WHEN I KNOW YOU'RE
SAFE. YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
[Door Closes]
HEY, THERE GOES THE STUNTMAN.
AND HE'S ALL ALONE.
PERFECT.
HOWIE, ARE YOU SURE THERE'S
NOTHING I CAN DO? I'M POSITIVE. HERE.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR
EGGS? SCRAMBLED'S FINE.
OKAY, TWO SCRAMBLED EGGS AND
A SIDE OF BACON COMING RIGHT UP.
NOW, YOU JUST GO DRINK YOUR
COFFEE AND LEAVE THE COOKING TO ME.
ANYTHING YOU SAY. HOWIE!
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU'RE...
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, COOKIE!
DIDN'T WE WARN YOU TO STAY
OUT OF OUR WAY? YES, BUT...
- NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
- [Blows Landing]
OH! BOY, OH, BOY. AM I
GLAD YOU SHOWED UP.
HOW YOU DOING, HARVEY?
SPARE ME THE SWEETNESS.
I DO NOT LIKE BEING
MADE A FOOL OF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOUR FRIEND, WILCOX, LON W...
HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR
SIX MONTHS. DEAD?
SPARE ME THE SURPRISE.
NOW, YOU ADMIT IT. YOU DANGLED
$10,000 IN FRONT OF MY NOSE...
SO I WOULD DO FOUR HOURS
OF PAPERWORK FOR YOU!
HARVEY, YOU KNOW
ME BETTER THAN THAT.
I MEAN, ARE YOU SURE
IT'S THE RIGHT LON WILCOX?
YEAH. I CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT.
YOUR MAN WAS KILLED
BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.
WHY WASN'T HIS SISTER NOTIFIED?
THAT I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK, DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU? DON'T
SAY ANYTHING TO THE GIRL JUST YET.
I GOT A COUPLE THINGS TO CHECK
OUT, OKAY? UH, DETECTIVE'S INTUITION?
IN MY BUSINESS, NEATNESS COUNTS.
THIS CASE IS UNTIDY.
YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM ME.
THANKS, HARVEY. SPARE ME.
[Door Opens, Closes]
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
COLT, I... I'M SORRY.
KID, YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
BUT I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT HER BROTHER.
HE'S DEFINITELY ON
SOMEBODY'S HIT LIST.
THEY SAID THEY'D KILL US IF WE
DIDN'T STOP TRYING TO WARN HIM.
WHO DID? TWO MEN. THEY
HELD A GUN TO MY HEAD, AND...
POOR HOWIE. THEY
ALMOST BEAT HIM TO DEATH.
NOW, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT, COLEEN. IT'S
ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR A STUNTMAN.
I'M REALLY MESSING
UP YOUR LIFE, AREN'T I?
I WOULDN'T EXACTLY
CALL YOU A RABBIT'S FOOT.
[Phone Ringing]
- HELLO.
- COLT, LISTEN,
I'VE GOT SOMETHING.
I GOTTA MEET YOU
RIGHT AWAY... ALONE.
YEAH? WHAT IS IT?
WILCOX MAY NOT BE DEAD.
IS THE GIRL STILL WITH YOU?
YEAH, BUT I CAN'T LEAVE HER ALONE.
SOMEBODY BROKE INTO MY HOUSE.
OKAY. OKAY, WELL, MAYBE BRINGING
THE GIRL ISN'T SUCH A BAD IDEA.
AND, COLT, LISTEN.
BE CAREFUL, WILL YOU?
$10,000 MAY NOT BE SUCH
A BARGAIN FOR THIS CASE.
RIGHT.
HARVEY MEDINA?
WHAT'D HE SAY?
IT WASN'T AS MUCH AS WHAT
HE SAID AS HOW HE SAID IT.
FOR A MAN WHO'S BEEN THROUGH ALMOST
EVERYTHING, HARVEY SOUNDED DAMNED SCARED.
I THINK YOU AND HARVEY
SHOULD GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
COME ON.
THANKS, SERGEANT.
PARDON ME, OFFICER.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
A GUY NAMED HARVEY MEDINA
WAS HIT BY A CAR. HIT BY A CAR?
YOU'RE KIDDING! NO.
RIGHT OVER HERE.
WAS HE HURT BAD?
HE'S IN INTENSIVE CARE.
LAST I HEARD, IT
WAS TOUCH AND GO.
WHERE'S THE
DRIVER? I WISH I KNEW.
IT WAS A HIT-AND-RUN.
COLT, I DON'T BUY THAT FOR
A SECOND. YEAH, NEITHER DO I.
THEY SAID THAT THEY'D KILL ANYONE
WHO TRIED TO PROTECT MY BROTHER.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LONNIE COULD
BE INVOLVED WITH SUCH RUTHLESS GANGSTERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS THAT
HARVEY WAS ONTO? I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE.
BUT WHATEVER IT WAS, THEY
DIDN'T WANT IT PASSED ON TO ME.
WELL, SOMETHING TELLS ME WE'D
BETTER FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS.
NO. LOOK, IT'S MY PROBLEM,
AND I DON'T WANNA SEE
ANYONE ELSE GETTING HURT.
WELL, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
TO FIND YOUR BROTHER.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA FIND HIM?
LIKE I DID THE FIRST TIME...
THROUGH THE BOOKIES.
BOOKIES?
HEY, IT WORKED ONCE.
MAYBE IT'LL WORK AGAIN.
LET'S GO. I ADMIT IT'S
NOT MUCH TO GO ON,
BUT WITH HARVEY IN
INTENSIVE CARE, IT'S ALL WE GOT.
COLT, I'M AFRAID YOU LOST
ME ON THIS BOOKIE BUSINESS.
HER BROTHER IS WHAT WE
CALL A PATTERNED GAMBLER.
EXCEPT FOOTBALL SEASON'S OVER. HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA BET ON?
WELL, WE'LL START WITH
COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
YOU'RE GONNA FIND A
BOOKIE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
HEY, EVEN A BOOKIE
HAS TO GET HIS HAIR CUT.
THIS ONE ISN'T GETTIN' HIS
HAIR CUT. HE'S THE CUTTER.
[Man] WELL, YOU TELL YOUR HUSBAND
THAT TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHAT'S GOOD
FOR THE GANDER IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE.
WOULD YOU LIKE A
LITTLE WHITE WINE?
EXCUSE ME. IS SYDNIE
WORKING TODAY?
HEALTHIEST HAIR I'VE
EVER SEEN. IT'S LIKE SILK.
HEY, SYD. YOU GOT A MINUTE?
COLT SEAVERS.
SYDNIE, COME BACK HERE!
I JUST WANNA TALK TO YOU!
SYDNIE! WILL YOU... SYDNIE,
WILL YOU WAIT A MINUTE!
NOT A CHANCE!
SYDNIE, WAIT A MINUTE!
YOU'RE GONNA... YOU'RE GONNA
KILL US BOTH! WATCH THE ROAD!
WASN'T THAT COLT? IT
SURE LOOKED LIKE HIM.
EXCUSE ME.
SYDNIE!
SYDNIE, TURN! SORRY,
SEAVERS! I GOTTA SPLIT!
THERE HE IS!
ALL RIGHT! OKAY, SEAVERS.
ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT ME, MAN!
I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW YOU
KNEW SO FAST. KNEW WHAT?
THAT I DIDN'T MAKE MY COURT
DATE. IT WAS ONLY TWO HOURS AGO!
I DIDN'T KNOW. I JUST WANTED
TO ASK YOU ABOUT A GUY.
YOU MEAN YOU MADE ME
WRECK MY NEW MOTORCYCLE,
AND ALL YOU WANTED TO
KNOW ABOUT WAS A GUY?
I DIDN'T MAKE YOU DO NOTHIN'.
YOU WERE DOIN' THE DRIVING.
OKAY, SEAVERS. WHAT GUY
DO YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT?
WELL, HE'S SUPPOSED
TO BE A CLIENT OF YOURS.
I CUT HIS HAIR? NO,
YOU TAKE HIS BETS.
OH. THAT KIND OF CLIENT. YEAH.
SUPERSTITIOUS KIND OF GUY.
HE BETS PATTERNS, HUNCHES.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
HE MADE A BIG SCORE
ON COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
A FIVE-TEAM PARLAY.
OH, YEAH, YEAH.
ONLY BETS ON TEAMS
NAMED AFTER BIRDS.
THEY CALL HIM THE BIRDMAN. THAT'S
HIM. YOU, UH, STILL BOOK HIS ACTION?
NO. HE GOT TOO BIG FOR ME, MAN.
I TURNED HIM OVER
TO A GUY NAMED VIC.
VIC. YEAH, I'VE HEARD OF HIM.
NOW, WHERE DOES HE HANG OUT?
[Chuckles] HEY, MAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU
THAT, 'CAUSE HE'LL COME DOWN ON ME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I'LL
DO IF YOU DON'T TELL ME?
OKAY, SEAVERS. FOURTH AND
MAIN. A PLACE CALLED LUIGI'S.
YOU TRY THERE FIRST. BUT
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE.
VIC IS A TOUGH DUDE. HMM.
YEAH, WELL, LET ME GIVE YOU
A LITTLE ADVICE, MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW THAT COURT DATE
THAT YOU JUST MISSED? YEAH?
WELL, IF I WERE YOU, I'D
RUN RIGHT DOWN THERE.
LIKE THEY SAY: BETTER LATE
THAN IN VIOLATION OF YOUR BOND.
- WHO SAYS?
- I DO.
A LITTLE THREE-FOOT BANK SHOT BY
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR. AND IT'S GOOD.
[Exhales] AND THE
LAKERS LEAD 38-33.
IF I EVER TAKE ANOTHER BET, I
HOPE SOMEBODY SHOOTS ME.
YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL WHO
HEARS YOU SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT.
SEAVERS! YOU OLD SON OF A GUN.
LOOKIN' TO LAY DOWN
SOME MONEY? [Laughing]
- WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
- WORKING. HOW ABOUT YOU?
EH, SAME.
EXCEPT MY WORK'S A LITTLE
STEADIER THAN YOURS, AND, UH, SAFER.
- YEAH, AND MORE PROFITABLE.
- NOT LATELY.
I GOT THIS ONE LOSER WHO'S
SUDDENLY BECOME A BIG WINNER.
- THE BIRDMAN?
- YEAH. HOW DID YOU KNOW?
ANYWAY, THIS BIRDMAN,
HE'S BEEN KILLING ME.
ALL THESE TEAMS NAMED AFTER
BIRDS, THEY START WINNING.
HE STARTS DOUBLING UP.
SO I... I LAY HIS ACTION
OFF ON RAYMOND FRANKS.
FRANKS? HE'S NO
BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.
OH, HE IS NOW.
JUST TOOK IN SOME NEW
PARTNERS. HE MOVED UPTOWN.
- HOW FAR UPTOWN?
- DAYTON AND SPRING. SIXTEENTH FLOOR.
[Howie] COLT, I'M TELLIN' YA,
THIS GUY FRANKS IS THE BIG TIME.
I MEAN, WE CAN'T JUST WALK
UP TO HIS DESK AND ASK HIM...
WHERE AND WHEN HE'S GONNA MAKE
A PAYOFF TO ONE OF HIS BETTORS.
THE GUY PROBABLY HAS DEMENTED
AND SADISTIC KILLERS WORKING FOR HIM.
DON'T HOLD BACK, KID.
GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST.
- THIS IS NO TIME
FOR JOKES, COLT.
- HE'S RIGHT.
I CAN'T HAVE YOU GO UP AGAINST SOMEBODY
WHO SOUNDS AS DANGEROUS AS THIS MAN FRANKS.
HERE IT IS. HERE WHAT IS?
THE MAN WHO'S GONNA MAKE IT
POSSIBLE FOR US TO FIND THE PAYOFF...
WITHOUT FRANKS EVER KNOWING.
- HI, JODY.
- HI.
WELL, I GOT HERE AS FAST
AS I COULD. WHAT'S UP?
WELL, HOWIE AND I
HAVE A LITTLE JOB TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO STAY WITH
COLEEN HERE UNTIL WE GET BACK.
- COLT, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
- WELL, I HOPE
IT ISN'T NECESSARY EITHER.
BUT IT'D MAKE ME FEEL A LOT
BETTER KNOWING YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY YOU
FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. BOTH OF YOU.
WELL, I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO COME UP WITH A...
YEAH, MAYBE LATER WHEN WE'VE DONE
SOMETHING TO DESERVE BEING THANKED FOR.
BY THE WAY, CHECK OUTSIDE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
- YEAH, I'LL KEEP
THE LIGHTS ON OUT THERE.
- I UNLOCKED THE GUN CASE.
WELL, COME ON, KID. WE
GOTTA SEE A MAN ABOUT A SAFE.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
[Howie] HOW ARE WE GONNA
GET INTO FRANKS' OFFICE?
[Colt] DON'T WORRY, KID. I GOT THE
BEST SECOND-STORY MAN IN TOWN.
[Howie] OH, THIS IS A GREAT
WAY TO SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHIN'. WE
JUST PASSED RIGHT BY THE FLOOR.
WE COULD'VE GONE
RIGHT IN THE OFFICE.
WHAT, AND SET OFF EVERY
ALARM IN THE BUILDING?
WELL, IF WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THE
DOOR, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET IN?
WHAT'S HE DOING
WITH A GLASS CUTTER?
HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA CUT
THE GLASS? AND THE ROPES?
THAT'S HOW WE'RE GONNA
GET INTO THE OFFICE.
[Chuckles] OH!
NO WAY! FORGET IT!
THIS IS NOT FOR ME.
IT'S THE SAFEST WAY
TO BREAK INTO AN OFFICE.
THERE'S ALMOST NO CHANCE
OF GETTIN' CAUGHT. PUT THAT ON.
YEAH, BUT... OH!
WHAT IF I FALL? YOU'RE NOT
GONNA FALL. NOW TRUST ME.
YOU KNOW SOMETHIN'? YOU'RE
RIGHT. I'M NOT GONNA FALL.
AND YOU KNOW WHY I'M NOT
GONNA FALL? BECAUSE I'M GOIN' HOME.
PLEASE DON'T CALL
ME AGAIN, OKAY?
MURPH. MURPH, LOOK. IT'S FUN!
IT'S ALMOST LIKE FLYING.
YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND. I DON'T FLY.
EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TIME I GOT EXTRADITED
FROM OKLAHOMA, BUT I DON'T COUNT THAT ONE.
CRIMINALS NOWADAYS DON'T SEEM TO HAVE
THAT SENSE OF ADVENTURE, DO THEY, COLT?
[Chuckles] YOU FELLAS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE.
YOU WON'T NEED
IT. COME ON. STEP.
RIGHT UP THERE. THAT-A-BOY.
WRAP IT AROUND YOUR LEG. [Groans]
THAT'S OKAY. YOU GOTTA
HAVE IT TIGHT. YEAH.
LISTEN, IS IT OKAY IF WE
GO TO THE MOVIES INSTEAD?
WE DON'T WANNA DO THIS.
HERE WE GO. YOU READY?
BE HONEST ABOUT THIS.
WHAT DO YOU... OH, MY!
[Colt] I PROMISE YOU
WON'T FALL. TRUST ME.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
FALL? HOOK HIM UP, KID.
OH, PLEASE, DON'T! THERE
MUST BE AN EASIER WAY.
COME ON. OH!
[Sobbing] I DON'T WANNA DO THIS!
ONE. TWO. THREE! OH!
COLT! HOWIE!
COME ON! FELLAS, LISTEN TO
ME! SOMEBODY! I DON'T WANNA...
[Sobbing] THIS IS... OOH!
LOOK, CAN WE GO UP
INSTEAD? AW, COME ON!
- THIS IS FRANKS' OFFICE.
- COLT, THERE'S NOTHIN'
TO STAND ON!
YEAH, BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS
THESE SUCTION CUPS ON THE GLASS,
YOU'LL AT LEAST HAVE
SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO.
"HOLD ON." THAT'S THE FIRST
SANE THING YOU'VE SAID TONIGHT.
DON'T WORRY, MURPH. YOU
COULDN'T POSSIBLY FALL.
WE'VE GOT YOU TIED
OFF ON THE ROOF.
HOWIE, I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL, BUT IF
ANY GUY'S GONNA FALL, I'M GONNA FALL.
I GET PAROLED A YEAR
SOONER TO DIE LIKE THIS?
ISN'T THAT EASY NOW?
EASIER WAS ALCATRAZ!
WHERE IS HE GOING?
HE'S GONNA CUT OUT A PIECE OF
THE WINDOW. NOW YOU JUST RELAX.
OH, MY GOD!
WILL YOU HURRY UP? OH!
WHY ME?
HURRY UP!
COME ON! MOVE FASTER, WILL YOU?
LISTEN, LET ME ASK
YOU SOMETHING.
HOW CAN YOU GUYS
BE SO CALM? COME ON!
[Sobbing]
LOOK, FELLAS.
LOOK, UH, FELLAS,
I KNOW I'M BEING...
YOU GOT IN. OKAY,
THAT'S GREAT. I-I-I-I...
I DON'T WANNA BE A PAIN
IN THE NECK, BUT MOVE IT!
COLT! COLT, THIS
THING IS SLIPPING!
MURPH, REATTACH IT!
REATTACH WHAT? I'M GONNA DIE!
- MURPH!
- [Screaming]
DON'T LOOK DOWN, MURPH.
I'M NOT LOOKIN' DOWN
OR IN ANY DIRECTION.
I GOT MY EYES CLOSED!
[Straining]
[Gasping] FELLAS,
COME ON! DO SOMETHIN'!
- PULL, KID!
- IF I DIE, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
[Sobbing]
WHY AM I BEING
SUBJECTED TO THIS?
HIGHER! PULL HIGHER!
THAT'S IT! COME ON, MORE!
YEAH! YEAH! COME ON, PULL!
I BET THIS COULD BE A LOT OF
FUN IF I COULD ENJOY THIS. MORE.
I KNOW THIS IS EASY
FOR YOU, BUT... BUT IT'S...
WHOA!
FELLAS, PLEASE. NEXT TIME, YOU
GIVE ME A GUN, I'LL GO IN BLASTING.
IT'LL BE SAFER
THAT WAY. [Groaning]
HEY, MURPH! MURPH, THE
WORST IS OVER. [Panting]
THERE'S GOTTA BE A SAFE
IN THIS ROOM SOMEWHERE.
HOW'D HE KNOW
THAT'S WHERE IT WAS?
THINK YOU CAN OPEN
IT? ARE YOU KIDDIN'?
AFTER TONIGHT, I COULD
OPEN UP FORT KNOX.
OH! [Clicking]
WOW! OH, BABY!
HEY, HEY, HEY!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
WHAT? WE DIDN'T COME
HERE TO RIP HIM OFF.
- WHAT? WHAT DID WE COME HERE FOR?
- RECORDS.
RECORDS? BOOKIES KEEP RECORDS OF
WHERE THEY MAKE PAYOFFS TO CLIENTS.
WHEN AND FOR HOW MUCH.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I ALMOST
KILLED MYSELF BECAUSE OF RECORDS?
RAYMOND FRANKS? ARE
YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
GIVE ME THIS! PUT IT BACK!
WAIT A MINUTE!
WAIT A MINUTE! COLT!
WAIT... WAIT A MINUTE. WE'RE
JUST GONNA BORROW IT, HUH?
[Footsteps Approaching]
BETTER GET OUT OF HERE.
THEY CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW!
COME ON! LET'S GO
TO THE ELEVATOR.
HANG ON. WE MAY BE HAVING
A LITTLE COMPANY. HUH?
OH! COLT, IF YOU WANNA KILL ME,
WHY DON'T YOU PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD?
MURPH, YOU'RE AS SAFE AS A
BABY IN ITS MOTHER'S ARMS. OH!
WE'LL GET THOSE TURKEYS NOW.
OH!
COME ON. WE'RE
GAINING NOW. COME ON.
[No Audible Dialogue]
[Howie] THERE'S A CAR
CARRIER BLOCKING THE STREET!
- NO!
- [Colt] HANG ON! WE'RE GOING OVER!
[Murph] NO! NO! NO!
[Screaming]
LOOK OUT!
MURPH? MURPH? ARE YOU OKAY?
GIVE HIM A MINUTE,
KID. HE'LL THAW OUT.
COLT, WAS MURPH'S
HAIR ALWAYS THIS GRAY?
[Howie] COLT, THIS MAKES
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
HEY. HERE YOU GO. NOTHING
LIKE A CUP OF HOT, FRESH COFFEE...
TO HELP YOU THINK STRAIGHT.
- THANKS, JODY.
- I GIVE UP.
WE CAN'T QUIT NOW. ALL THESE
NUMBERS HAVE TO MEAN SOMETHING.
WE JUST HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT THE CODE.
YEAH, BUT THE ONLY
WAY WE CAN DO THAT...
IS TO PUT IT THROUGH THE SAME
KIND OF COMPUTER THAT FRANKS USED.
YEAH, WHICH WILL TAKE
MORE TIME THAN WE GOT.
YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO. WELL, IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE WE'VE GOT ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
WE DON'T,
EXCEPT TO GET FRANKS TO
INTERPRET HIS BOOKS FOR US.
COLT, YOU JUST STOLE THEM. HE'S
GONNA WANNA KILL YOU, NOT HELP YOU.
NOT IF I OFFER TO GIVE 'EM BACK.
NOW, LET'S SEE IF HE'S IN A
MOOD TO STRIKE UP A DEAL.
COLT, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
I'M AFRAID HE IS SERIOUS.
[Phone Ringing] HELLO?
YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO
RAYMOND FRANKS, PLEASE.
YOU GOT HIM. WHO IS THIS?
WELL, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT
NOW. WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT...
I HAPPEN TO KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS
OF SOMETHING YOU'RE MISSING.
GO ON. I WAS THINKING WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO STRIKE UP A LITTLE SWAP.
- WHAT'D YOU HAVE IN MIND?
- LOOKING FOR
ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS.
GOES BY THE NAME OF BIRDMAN. DO YOU
KNOW WHERE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND HIM?
I DO, PROVIDIN' WHAT'S
MISSIN' IS RETURNED.
- OH, IT WILL BE.
- ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW LUIGI'S?
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
ON MY WAY.
WHO WAS THAT?
A DEAD MAN.
JODY, GET ME AN ENVELOPE.
AN ENVELOPE? YEAH, A
LARGE ONE. AND SOME STAMPS.
YOU GOT IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU WANT IT, BUT YOU GOT IT.
I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS IS
PART OF A MASTER PLAN. IT IS.
GATHER UP THE
BOOKS. WE GOTTA MOVE.
I'M GOING WITH
YOU. NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU AND JODY ARE STAYING
RIGHT HERE. HERE YOU GO.
COLT, WHATEVER YOU
DO, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
DON'T WORRY. JUST MAKE SURE
THE DOOR'S LOCKED BEHIND US...
IN CASE YOUR BROTHER'S FRIENDS
ARE STILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
LET'S GO, KID.
[Man On TV] IT'S GOING TO
BE HARD TO GET USED TO,
BUT OFFICIALLY DAVEY LOPES, THE
FORMER DODGER SECOND BASEMAN,
BECAME AN OAKLAND "A" TODAY.
THE DODGERS FEEL FREE TO TRADE THE
35-YEAR-OLD VETERAN FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
THEY HAVE A FINE YOUNG
REPLACEMENT IN STEVE SAX,
THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY LOPES
HIS HEAVY SALARY OF $300,000-PLUS,
AND LOPES WASN'T NECESSARILY
EFFECTIVE ANYMORE ANYWAY...
WITH HIS AVERAGE OF
JUST .206 LAST YEAR.
ONE SIGNIFICANT STAT IN
THE DEAL IS THE DODGERS
INFIELD OF CEY, RUSSELL,
LOPES AND GARVEY...
HAD BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 1973...
I WAS EXPECTING
TO SEE SPIDER-MAN.
THAT'S A VERY CREATIVE
WAY TO BREAK INTO AN OFFICE.
MY BOYS WERE VERY IMPRESSED.
OH, THERE'S
NOTHING TO IT, REALLY.
NOW, YOU SAID YOU WOULD TELL
ME HOW TO FIND THE BIRDMAN.
HE'LL BE AT THE CORNER OF HIGHLAND
AND OLIVE IN PASADENA AT NOON.
- HIGHLAND AND OLIVE?
- THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO
THE JAPANESE BRIDGE.
HE'LL BE THERE FOR HIS PAYOFF.
THE BIRDMAN WAS
VERY LUCKY LAST WEEK.
UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T
SAY THE SAME FOR YOU.
I THOUGHT WE HAD A BARGAIN.
A BARGAIN? COME, NOW.
YOU REALLY THINK I WAS
GONNA LET YOU OFF THE HOOK?
NO, I DIDN'T. THAT'S WHY I MAILED
YOUR BOOKS TO A FRIEND OF MINE...
ALONG WITH A LITTLE NOTE TO TAKE IT TO
THE POLICE IF SHE DIDN'T HEAR FROM ME.
VERY CLEVER.
WELL, I NEEDED SOME INSURANCE TO
MAKE SURE I WALKED OUT OF HERE ALIVE.
WELL, YOU'VE SEEN TO
IT THAT I CAN'T STOP YOU.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
FAR YOU'RE GONNA GET.
IT SEEMS THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WHO
HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE WITH YOU BESIDES ME.
I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL A FEW MINUTES
AGO FROM SOMEBODY BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US.
REALLY? YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO?
FRIENDS IN THE MIDWEST?
MIDWEST?
THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO
BE MINNEAPOLIS, WOULD IT?
YEAH. HOW'D YOU KNOW?
[Chuckles] GOOD GUESSER.
I SUGGEST YOU STAY
OFF THE STREETS.
THANKS FOR THE TIP.
HOW COULD SOMEONE HAVE CALLED
HIM? WHO KNEW WE WERE COMING HERE?
THE SAME PERSON THAT KNEW ABOUT HARVEY
MEDINA AND EVERY OTHER MOVE WE'VE MADE.
YOU DON'T MEAN...
YES, I DO, KID.
SHE WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO
ME WHEN I SAID THE NAME OF THE BAR.
WELL, NOW SHE'S ALONE WITH JODY.
JODY? JODY? [Muffled Grunting]
JODY!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TELL ME COLEEN DID IT.
SHE WENT TO CALL SOMEBODY ABOUT HER
BROTHER. THEN SHE PULLED A GUN ON ME.
I KNOW SHE WENT TO SEE HIM, BUT I
DON'T KNOW WHERE. IT'S ALL RIGHT. I DO.
OLIVE AND HIGHLAND,
RIGHT, COLT? YEAH, KID.
ACCORDING TO THIS, THAT'S WHERE THEY
STORE THE FLOATS AFTER THE ROSE PARADE.
[Man] OKAY, MOVING
IN THIS DIRECTION.
FEEL FREE TO TAKE
PICTURES IF YOU WANT TO.
THIS NEXT FLOAT CELEBRATES
THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ALWAYS A FAVORITE WITH
THE LOCAL PARTISANS,
THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
HAS BEEN ENTERING FLOATS...
COLT, I DON'T SEE
ANY JAPANESE BRIDGE.
RIGHT OVER HERE. IT'S
MADE OUT OF FLOWERS.
WELL, YOU DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE MEETING PLACE?
CAN YOU THINK OF A PLACE LESS
LIKELY FOR A BOOKIE TO MAKE A PAYOFF?
YOU GOT A POINT. WE
DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
WILCOX WILL BE HERE ANY
MINUTE, IF HE'S NOT HERE ALREADY.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
UH-HUH. I'LL SET UP THE DECOY.
[Man] IT ACTUALLY TOOK MONTHS
TO BUILD THE BASIC STRUCTURE.
AND THEN ON DECEMBER 27, SEVERAL
HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS WERE EMPLOYED...
TO ACTUALLY APPLY THE FLOWERS.
IT'S REALLY PRETTY, ISN'T
IT? OKAY, RIGHT THIS WAY.
THIS ENTRY FROM LONG BEACH
WON THIS YEAR'S MAYOR'S TROPHY.
AGAIN, EVERY ELEMENT OF THE DESIGN
IS DONE WITH FLOWERS OR PLANT PARTS.
FOR INSTANCE, LOOK AT THE
STRATA ALONG THE CLIFFS HERE.
THAT'S ALL DONE WITH FLOWER
SEEDS, DIFFERENT COLORS.
OKAY, RIGHT OVER HERE
WE HAVE THE FLOAT...
FROM THE JAPANESE-AMERICAN
FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY.
ONCE AGAIN, THEIR ENTRY
HAS INCORPORATED BAMBOO...
INTO THE DECORATIVE
AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN.
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE A
SMALL OPEN AREA AT THE BASE OF THE BAMBOO.
THIS IS WHERE THE FLOAT'S DRIVER
LOOKS OUT TO STEER DURING THE PARADE.
ALL OF THE FLOATS USE
FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINES.
WILCOX! YOU'RE A
HARD MAN TO FIND.
I'M ALMOST SORRY IT'S OVER.
AND BY TOMORROW, THE REST
WILL BE TAKEN TOTALLY APART.
BUT ONCE THE AREA IS CLEARED,
WE'LL JUST START FROM SCRATCH,
AND ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES.
IT'S TOO BAD LON WASN'T AROUND
TO SEE HIS SISTER'S PERFORMANCE.
IT'S OVER, COLEEN. WHY DON'T YOU
MAKE IT EASY ON BOTH OF US, HUH?
I WISH THINGS COULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT BETWEEN US.
AIN'T IT ALWAYS THE WAY?
BUT THAT'S THE STORY
OF MY LIFE. COME ON, KID.
ALL RIGHT, THEY USED
OVER 20,000 CARNATIONS...
IN THIS NEXT FLOAT WE'RE
GONNA BE LOOKING AT.
EVERYBODY WANNA TRY
AND STAY TOGETHER, PLEASE?
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME...
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
- [Gunshot]
- [Visitors Screaming]
GET SOMEWHERE HIGH
WHERE YOU CAN SEE THEM.
HOWIE!
ALL RIGHT, COLT, HOWIE'S
GOING OUT WITH ME.
YOU BETTER STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU
EVER WANNA SEE YOUR PARTNER ALIVE AGAIN.
YOU HEAR, COLT?
SORRY, COLEEN,
THE PARADE IS OVER.
HARV, I CAN'T GET OVER
HOW GOOD YOU LOOK. YEAH.
THE KID AND I WERE REAL WORRIED ABOUT
YOU WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT.
SPARE ME, SEAVERS,
'CAUSE WHEN I GET OUT
OF THIS BEDPAN PALACE,
I'M GONNA HAVE A FEW
SURPRISES FOR YOU.
HEY, NOW, HARVEY, WAIT A
MINUTE. YOU CAN'T BLAME ME.
I TOLD YOU TO LOOK BOTH WAYS
BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET.
HA! RICHLY COMIC.
THE LEAST YOU COULD
HAVE DONE IS GIVE ME A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT COLEEN WILCOX.
I WISH I COULD HAVE.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE COLEEN
WAS A HIT LADY FOR THE MOB.
YEAH. ACCORDING TO THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, SHE WAS THEIR ACE.
YEAH, WELL, SHE
REALLY HAD ME FOOLED.
DON'T FEEL BAD, KID. IT
HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
YEAH, AND THERE'S ONE THING
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IF LON WILCOX PICKED
ALL THOSE WINNERS,
WELL, HOW COME HE NEVER
SHOWED UP TO COLLECT HIS MONEY?
'CAUSE WHEN I FOUND
OUT HE WASN'T DEAD,
THAT HE WAS REALLY A WITNESS
IN THE RELOCATION PROGRAM,
I HAD THE FEDS THROW A
NET AROUND HIM IN A HURRY.
YOU SAVED HIS LIFE.
YEAH. HE CALLED
ME TO SAY, "THANKS."
ALL HE HAD TO SAY WAS "THANKS"?
NO. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE
ATLANTA AND THE POINTS.
WHICH REMINDS ME. TAKE
THAT $10,000 YOU OWE ME...
AND GO FIND A
HAIRDRESSER NAMED SYDNIE.
YOU TELL HIM TO TAKE THE
POINTS AND BET THE UNDER.
YOU REMEMBER THAT?
SURE.
THANKS.

[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
INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
UNFORTUNATELY, SOMETIMES
A LOT 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 SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO KEEP
ALL FOUR WHEELS ON THE GROUND...
AND MAKE A LIVING
AT THE SAME TIME.
WE'RE READY TO GO. WHAT
HAPPENED TO SEAVERS?
COLT'LL KNOW WHAT TO DO.
HE'S ABSOLUTELY THE BEST.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I
HAVE SUCH A SOFT HEART.
COLT!
ARE YOU IN THERE?
WELL, HE'S GOTTA BE
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
I'LL CHECK THE SET.
YOU WAIT RIGHT HERE.
I COULD'VE SWORN IT WAS TOMORROW.
I DOUBLE-CHECKED AND EVERYTHING.
WELL, NEXT TIME, TRIPLE-CHECK.
A LITTLE SHOWBIZ MISTAKE, OKAY?
BUT YOUR LITTLE MISTAKES
HAVE A WAY OF ADDIN' UP.
I'M SORRY! FORGET IT. I DON'T WANT
YOU TO FEEL GUILTY OR ANYTHING.
GUILTY? IT WAS AN HONEST
MISTAKE. WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER.
RIGHT NOW, I GOT A
GAG TO DO. GOOD LUCK.
I'LL SEE YOU IN THE TRAILER.
WELL, GLAD YOU
COULD MAKE IT, COLT.
YOU DIDN'T THINK I'D DREAM UP THIS STUNT
AND NOT SHOW UP TO SHOOT IT, DID YOU?
ME? NO. THE THOUGHT NEVER
CROSSED MY MIND. YEAH, UH-HUH.
WELL, LET'S GET
WITH IT. WARDROBE.
HELLO?
HELLO.
I'M COLEEN WILCOX. BIG
JACK BROUGHT ME HERE.
I GUESS SHE WENT TO
GO FIND YOU. SHE DID?
WELL, I GUESS A STUNTMAN
IS PRETTY HARD TO PIN DOWN.
WELL, NOT ALWAYS.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, IT'S, UM, KIND
OF COMPLICATED.
COULD I TALK TO YOU
IN PRIVATE? CERTAINLY.
I LOVE TO TALK IN PRIVATE.
THANK YOU.
I FIGURED THEY ALL
STARTED AT A YOUNG AGE.
YOU KNOW, FALLING OFF TRICYCLES,
PUSHING THEIR GO-CARTS INTO WALLS.
THESE STUNTMEN ARE
DEFINITELY NOT ALL THERE.
YOU ALL SET, COLT?
AS READY AS I'LL EVER BE.
GOOD LUCK, JODY.
SAME TO YOU, COLT.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE NOT DIRECTLY
CONNECTED WITH THIS SHOT, PLEASE STAY BACK.
- READY, COLT?
- YEAH. THAT'S A 10-4.
OKAY, LET'S DO IT. ROLL, PLEASE.
AND ACTION!
[Man On P.A.] BOTH CAMERAS
ROLLING. OKAY, GUYS, IN YOUR CARS.
STRAP IN.
START 'EM UP.
BOTH CARS COME AHEAD.
[Colt On Radio] COMING
UP ON YOU, JODY.
FIVE, FOUR, THREE, TWO, ONE.
CLOSER, JODY! CLOSER!
I CAN'T, COLT!
CUT. PRINT. THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!
IF YOU ASK ME, THEY'VE BOTH COME IN A
FEW TIMES WITH THEIR LANDING GEAR UP.
YOU DID IT AGAIN,
COLT. FANTASTIC.
PIECE OF CAKE. YOU TOO, JODY.
THANKS. ALL RIGHT, WE'LL
DO THE CLOSE-UPS NEXT.
I'LL NEED THE PRINCIPALS IN ABOUT
10 MINUTES. WHAT'S THE MATTER, JODY?
YOU LOOK A LITTLE PALE. ONLY BECAUSE
YOU ONLY SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH.
I TOLD YOU IT WAS
GONNA BE TIGHT. TIGHT?
THAT FIT WAS TIGHTER
THAN MY FRENCH JEANS.
WELL, THEY LOOK GOOD TO ME.
WE GOTTA GET MORE
STUNT GIRLS AROUND HERE.
[Coleen] I DON'T REALLY
KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
BEGIN AT THE BEGINNING.
THAT'S USUALLY THE BEST WAY.
I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST THAT I'M SO
RELIEVED TO FINALLY MEET YOU.
[Door Opens]
EXCUSE ME. I HOPE
I'M NOT INTERRUPTING.
WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT... DO YOU ALWAYS
ALLOW PEOPLE TO BARGE IN TO YOUR TRAILER?
HIS TRAILER?
WELL, YES. IT SAYS "COLT
SEAVERS" RIGHT ON THE DOOR.
WELL, I KNOW. I'M COLT SEAVERS.
WELL, IF YOU'RE COLT
SEAVERS, THEN WHO ARE YOU?
WELL, I'M HOWARD MUNSON.
COLT AND I ARE PARTNERS.
YOU MEAN ALL THIS TIME,
YOU WANTED TO TALK TO COLT?
OH, THIS IS SO EMBARRASSING.
HEY, DON'T WORRY ABOUT
IT. IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.
PEOPLE CONFUSE US ALL
THE TIME. COLT, THIS IS COLEEN.
- COLEEN, THIS IS COLT SEAVERS.
- HOW DO YOU DO, MA'AM?
WELL, I SEE YOU'VE
ALL MET EACH OTHER.
- BIG JACK,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
- I BROUGHT COLEEN.
SHE SAID THAT IF ANYONE
COULD HELP ME, IT WOULD BE YOU.
HELP YOU DO WHAT?
WELL, COLEEN WILL
EXPLAIN. I JUST GOT BEEPED.
I'VE GOTTA GO HELP SOME POOR SOUL
WITH HIS BAIL. I'LL SEE YOU ALL LATER.
[Colt] WAIT A MINUTE, JACK.
BYE. IF THIS ISN'T A
BAIL CASE, WHAT IS IT?
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T TALK NOW. I
GOTTA GO. I'LL COME WITH YOU.
[Coleen] PLEASE, COLT.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON.
YOU WANNA TELL ME
WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT?
DOES THE NAME LONNIE
WILCOX MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?
LON WILCOX? SURE.
THAT MISERABLE BUM.
THAT MISERABLE BUM
IS MY BROTHER. [Sighs]
WELL, LOOK, FIRST
IMPRESSIONS ARE MISLEADING.
HE WASN'T SUCH A BAD
GUY IF YOU GOT TO KNOW HIM.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LIE, MR. SEAVERS.
LONNIE IS A SPOILED, ROTTEN CHILD
WHO'S NEVER BEEN ANYTHING BUT TROUBLE.
BUT HE IS MY BROTHER. HE'S YOUR
BROTHER? THAT GUY'S YOUR BROTHER?
YES, AND HE NEEDS HELP.
YEAH, WELL, WHAT'D HE DO NOW?
WELL, AS YOU MAY RECALL, HE HAS
SOMETHING OF A GAMBLING PROBLEM.
PROBLEM? LADY, HE WAS A JUNKIE
WHEN IT CAME TO SPORTS BETTING.
YEAH, WELL, IT FINALLY
CAUGHT UP TO HIM.
HE OWES A FORTUNE TO SOME
RATHER UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESSMEN.
BUSINESSMEN? AS IN BOOKIE?
I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT...
TWO MEN CAME TO MINNEAPOLIS
AND THREATENED ME.
I TOLD THEM I HAD NO IDEA WHERE
LONNIE WAS. WAS THAT THE TRUTH?
NO. I HAD TO PROTECT HIM.
LONNIE'S HERE IN L.A.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
LAST WEEK WAS THE
ANNIVERSARY OF MY MOTHER'S
FUNERAL. LONNIE
ALWAYS SENDS FLOWERS.
I HAD THE ORDER TRACED
BACK HERE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
LONNIE PAID FOR THE
FLOWERS IN CASH, AND
NOBODY SEEMS TO REMEMBER
ANYTHING ABOUT HIM.
COLEEN, I'D LIKE TO HELP
YOU, BUT I'M A BOUNTY HUNTER.
I ONLY GO AFTER A MAN IF THERE'S
A COURT ORDER TO BRING HIM BACK.
WHAT YOU NEED IS A
PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR,
A MAN WHO'S LICENSED TO
LOOK FOR MISSING PERSONS.
BUT YOU KNOW LONNIE. YOU
KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
YOU KNOW HIS HABITS.
YOU WERE THE ONLY PERSON WHO
WAS ABLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN LAST TIME.
MR. SEAVERS, I HAVE
$10,000 IN THE BANK.
IT'S ALL I'VE GOT,
AND IT'S YOURS.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO HELP ME FIND MY
BROTHER BEFORE THOSE GANGSTERS DO.
[Sobbing]
HEY, HEY, IT CAN'T
BE ALL THAT BAD NOW.
I FEEL SO STUPID CRYING
IN FRONT OF YOU LIKE THIS.
LOOK, UH, YOU'RE GONNA
FIND YOUR BROTHER.
YOU MEAN YOU'LL HELP ME?
NO, BUT I CAN PUT YOU IN
TOUCH WITH SOMEBODY WHO WILL.
COME ON.
[Colt] MOBILE OPERATOR,
PLEASE. WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
NAMED HARVEY MEDINA.
BUT HE'S NOT THERE. IT'S
AN ANSWERING MACHINE.
I HATE TALKING ON THOSE
MACHINES. HARVEY, IT'S COLT SEAVERS.
GIVE ME A CALL ON THE SET
WHEN YOU GET IN, PLEASE.
THANK YOU.
THE MACHINE SAID HE'D
BE BACK AROUND 5:00.
WHY DON'T I TAKE
YOU TO YOUR HOTEL?
- THEN WHEN HE CALLS ME,
THEN I'LL HAVE HIM CALL YOU.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW TO THANK YOU.
FOR WHAT? I HAVEN'T
DONE ANYTHING.
I'M SORRY. IT'S JUST
THAT I FEEL SO HELPLESS.
COLEEN, DO YOU KNOW ANYBODY
IN A LIGHT BLUE CHRYSLER?
WHAT? A LIGHT BLUE CHRYSLER.
HOW COULD I? I'VE NEVER
BEEN TO L.A. BEFORE.
- GET ON THE FLOOR, QUICK.
- WHAT?
GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR, QUICK!
[Screams]
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK YOU TWISTED MY NECK
WHEN YOU THREW ME ON THE GROUND.
THOSE GUYS HAD SHOTGUNS, WHICH IS NOT
THE WAY A BOOKIE NORMALLY COLLECTS DEBTS.
SO WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT?
I'VE DRIVEN DOWN THIS STREET A LOT.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I EVER BEEN SHOT AT.
- I'VE TOLD YOU, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
- I KNOW WHAT YOU TOLD ME.
NOW YOU WANNA TELL ME THE TRUTH?
OKAY. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT THOSE
MEN IN MINNEAPOLIS TOLD ME.
THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE GONNA
MAKE AN EXAMPLE OUT OF LONNIE,
THAT THEY WERE GONNA KILL HIM AND
ANYONE ELSE THAT GOT IN THEIR WAY.
[Sighs]
COLT, I DON'T BLAME YOU
FOR NOT GETTING INVOLVED.
LOOK, I'LL PAY FOR THE
DAMAGES TO YOUR TRUCK.
THE MONEY'S AT MY
HOTEL. FORGET THE HOTEL.
- WELL, THEN WHERE ARE WE GOING?
- MY PLACE.
YOUR PLACE? LOOK, IT'S
TEMPORARY, BELIEVE ME.
ONCE I GET HARVEY, I'M GONNA PUT YOU
IN HIS HANDS. YOU'LL BE A LOT BETTER OFF.
I HAVEN'T FELT SAFER IN WEEKS.
I'M PUTTING YOU TO SO MUCH
TROUBLE. I FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT IT.
YEAH, WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY AFTER I MAKE THIS PHONE CALL.
HARVEY LOVES OTHER
PEOPLE'S PROBLEMS.
COLT, I MEAN IT.
I'M REALLY SORRY.
YEAH, HARVEY. COLT SEAVERS.
YEAH, I'VE GOT A CASE FOR YOU. IT'S A
YOUNG LADY WHO'S LOOKING FOR HER BROTHER.
THE BOTTOM LINE IS IT'S
WORTH $10,000 TO YOU.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A
GUY NAMED LON WILCOX.
RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING,
POLICE HEADQUARTERS. I'LL BE THERE.
GOOD NIGHT, HARVEY. DON'T TELL
ME. HARV COULD USE THE WORK.
YOU GOT YOURSELF A
FIRST-CLASS DETECTIVE.
I WAS GROWING ATTACHED
TO THE ONE I HAD.
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU DON'T
KNOW HARV. HE'S THE BEST.
AND I KEEP TELLING YOU I'M
NOT A DETECTIVE. I'M A STUNTMAN.
AND A VERY HANDSOME ONE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY, AND I THINK
WE NEED TO GET YOU INTO BED...
UH, TO SLEEP.
WELL, WHERE ARE YOU GONNA SLEEP?
OUT ON THE COUCH. LOOK, LOOK.
I'LL STAY ON THE COUCH, AND
YOU CAN STAY IN HERE, OKAY?
IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
OH, NO, NO. I'LL BE FINE.
AND THAT WAY, IF ANYBODY TRIES
TO BREAK IN, I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
COLT? YO! COLT, YOU UP YET?
- UH... COLEEN.
- [Sighs]
I'M SORRY.
GOOD MORNING, KID.
YOU'RE AMAZING. NOW I KNOW WHY YOU WANTED
ME TO SLEEP IN THE TRAILER LAST NIGHT.
HEY, IT'S NOT WHAT YOU
THINK. OF COURSE NOT.
AND I SUPPOSE YOU'RE GONNA TELL
ME YOU SLEPT ON THE COUCH, HUH?
YEAH, WELL, I GOT THE
BACKACHE TO PROVE IT.
GOOD MORNING, GUYS.
COLT, THANKS FOR THE USE
OF YOUR SHIRT AND YOUR BED.
I GOT A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
OH, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS.
KID, I WANT YOU TO
STAY AND WATCH COLEEN.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? TO GET HARVEY
STARTED LOOKING FOR YOUR BROTHER.
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED
TO GET RID OF ME?
AND I WILL WHEN I KNOW YOU'RE
SAFE. YOU TAKE GOOD CARE OF HER.
[Door Closes]
HEY, THERE GOES THE STUNTMAN.
AND HE'S ALL ALONE.
PERFECT.
HOWIE, ARE YOU SURE THERE'S
NOTHING I CAN DO? I'M POSITIVE. HERE.
HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR
EGGS? SCRAMBLED'S FINE.
OKAY, TWO SCRAMBLED EGGS AND
A SIDE OF BACON COMING RIGHT UP.
NOW, YOU JUST GO DRINK YOUR
COFFEE AND LEAVE THE COOKING TO ME.
ANYTHING YOU SAY. HOWIE!
WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU'RE...
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE, COOKIE!
DIDN'T WE WARN YOU TO STAY
OUT OF OUR WAY? YES, BUT...
- NOW, WAIT A MINUTE.
- [Blows Landing]
OH! BOY, OH, BOY. AM I
GLAD YOU SHOWED UP.
HOW YOU DOING, HARVEY?
SPARE ME THE SWEETNESS.
I DO NOT LIKE BEING
MADE A FOOL OF.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
YOUR FRIEND, WILCOX, LON W...
HE'S BEEN DEAD FOR
SIX MONTHS. DEAD?
SPARE ME THE SURPRISE.
NOW, YOU ADMIT IT. YOU DANGLED
$10,000 IN FRONT OF MY NOSE...
SO I WOULD DO FOUR HOURS
OF PAPERWORK FOR YOU!
HARVEY, YOU KNOW
ME BETTER THAN THAT.
I MEAN, ARE YOU SURE
IT'S THE RIGHT LON WILCOX?
YEAH. I CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT.
YOUR MAN WAS KILLED
BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES.
WHY WASN'T HIS SISTER NOTIFIED?
THAT I DON'T KNOW.
LOOK, DO ME A FAVOR, WILL YOU? DON'T
SAY ANYTHING TO THE GIRL JUST YET.
I GOT A COUPLE THINGS TO CHECK
OUT, OKAY? UH, DETECTIVE'S INTUITION?
IN MY BUSINESS, NEATNESS COUNTS.
THIS CASE IS UNTIDY.
YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM ME.
THANKS, HARVEY. SPARE ME.
[Door Opens, Closes]
WHAT HAPPENED HERE?
COLT, I... I'M SORRY.
KID, YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
BUT I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT HER BROTHER.
HE'S DEFINITELY ON
SOMEBODY'S HIT LIST.
THEY SAID THEY'D KILL US IF WE
DIDN'T STOP TRYING TO WARN HIM.
WHO DID? TWO MEN. THEY
HELD A GUN TO MY HEAD, AND...
POOR HOWIE. THEY
ALMOST BEAT HIM TO DEATH.
NOW, I'LL BE ALL RIGHT, COLEEN. IT'S
ALL IN A DAY'S WORK FOR A STUNTMAN.
I'M REALLY MESSING
UP YOUR LIFE, AREN'T I?
I WOULDN'T EXACTLY
CALL YOU A RABBIT'S FOOT.
[Phone Ringing]
- HELLO.
- COLT, LISTEN,
I'VE GOT SOMETHING.
I GOTTA MEET YOU
RIGHT AWAY... ALONE.
YEAH? WHAT IS IT?
WILCOX MAY NOT BE DEAD.
IS THE GIRL STILL WITH YOU?
YEAH, BUT I CAN'T LEAVE HER ALONE.
SOMEBODY BROKE INTO MY HOUSE.
OKAY. OKAY, WELL, MAYBE BRINGING
THE GIRL ISN'T SUCH A BAD IDEA.
AND, COLT, LISTEN.
BE CAREFUL, WILL YOU?
$10,000 MAY NOT BE SUCH
A BARGAIN FOR THIS CASE.
RIGHT.
HARVEY MEDINA?
WHAT'D HE SAY?
IT WASN'T AS MUCH AS WHAT
HE SAID AS HOW HE SAID IT.
FOR A MAN WHO'S BEEN THROUGH ALMOST
EVERYTHING, HARVEY SOUNDED DAMNED SCARED.
I THINK YOU AND HARVEY
SHOULD GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER.
COME ON.
THANKS, SERGEANT.
PARDON ME, OFFICER.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
A GUY NAMED HARVEY MEDINA
WAS HIT BY A CAR. HIT BY A CAR?
YOU'RE KIDDING! NO.
RIGHT OVER HERE.
WAS HE HURT BAD?
HE'S IN INTENSIVE CARE.
LAST I HEARD, IT
WAS TOUCH AND GO.
WHERE'S THE
DRIVER? I WISH I KNEW.
IT WAS A HIT-AND-RUN.
COLT, I DON'T BUY THAT FOR
A SECOND. YEAH, NEITHER DO I.
THEY SAID THAT THEY'D KILL ANYONE
WHO TRIED TO PROTECT MY BROTHER.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LONNIE COULD
BE INVOLVED WITH SUCH RUTHLESS GANGSTERS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT WAS THAT
HARVEY WAS ONTO? I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE.
BUT WHATEVER IT WAS, THEY
DIDN'T WANT IT PASSED ON TO ME.
WELL, SOMETHING TELLS ME WE'D
BETTER FIND OUT WHAT IT WAS.
NO. LOOK, IT'S MY PROBLEM,
AND I DON'T WANNA SEE
ANYONE ELSE GETTING HURT.
WELL, THAT'S WHY WE HAVE
TO FIND YOUR BROTHER.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA
GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS.
HOW DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GONNA FIND HIM?
LIKE I DID THE FIRST TIME...
THROUGH THE BOOKIES.
BOOKIES?
HEY, IT WORKED ONCE.
MAYBE IT'LL WORK AGAIN.
LET'S GO. I ADMIT IT'S
NOT MUCH TO GO ON,
BUT WITH HARVEY IN
INTENSIVE CARE, IT'S ALL WE GOT.
COLT, I'M AFRAID YOU LOST
ME ON THIS BOOKIE BUSINESS.
HER BROTHER IS WHAT WE
CALL A PATTERNED GAMBLER.
EXCEPT FOOTBALL SEASON'S OVER. HOW
DO YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S GONNA BET ON?
WELL, WE'LL START WITH
COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
YOU'RE GONNA FIND A
BOOKIE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
HEY, EVEN A BOOKIE
HAS TO GET HIS HAIR CUT.
THIS ONE ISN'T GETTIN' HIS
HAIR CUT. HE'S THE CUTTER.
[Man] WELL, YOU TELL YOUR HUSBAND
THAT TWO CAN PLAY AT THAT GAME.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? WHAT'S GOOD
FOR THE GANDER IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE.
WOULD YOU LIKE A
LITTLE WHITE WINE?
EXCUSE ME. IS SYDNIE
WORKING TODAY?
HEALTHIEST HAIR I'VE
EVER SEEN. IT'S LIKE SILK.
HEY, SYD. YOU GOT A MINUTE?
COLT SEAVERS.
SYDNIE, COME BACK HERE!
I JUST WANNA TALK TO YOU!
SYDNIE! WILL YOU... SYDNIE,
WILL YOU WAIT A MINUTE!
NOT A CHANCE!
SYDNIE, WAIT A MINUTE!
YOU'RE GONNA... YOU'RE GONNA
KILL US BOTH! WATCH THE ROAD!
WASN'T THAT COLT? IT
SURE LOOKED LIKE HIM.
EXCUSE ME.
SYDNIE!
SYDNIE, TURN! SORRY,
SEAVERS! I GOTTA SPLIT!
THERE HE IS!
ALL RIGHT! OKAY, SEAVERS.
ALL RIGHT. YOU GOT ME, MAN!
I JUST WANNA KNOW HOW YOU
KNEW SO FAST. KNEW WHAT?
THAT I DIDN'T MAKE MY COURT
DATE. IT WAS ONLY TWO HOURS AGO!
I DIDN'T KNOW. I JUST WANTED
TO ASK YOU ABOUT A GUY.
YOU MEAN YOU MADE ME
WRECK MY NEW MOTORCYCLE,
AND ALL YOU WANTED TO
KNOW ABOUT WAS A GUY?
I DIDN'T MAKE YOU DO NOTHIN'.
YOU WERE DOIN' THE DRIVING.
OKAY, SEAVERS. WHAT GUY
DO YOU WANNA KNOW ABOUT?
WELL, HE'S SUPPOSED
TO BE A CLIENT OF YOURS.
I CUT HIS HAIR? NO,
YOU TAKE HIS BETS.
OH. THAT KIND OF CLIENT. YEAH.
SUPERSTITIOUS KIND OF GUY.
HE BETS PATTERNS, HUNCHES.
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
HE MADE A BIG SCORE
ON COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
A FIVE-TEAM PARLAY.
OH, YEAH, YEAH.
ONLY BETS ON TEAMS
NAMED AFTER BIRDS.
THEY CALL HIM THE BIRDMAN. THAT'S
HIM. YOU, UH, STILL BOOK HIS ACTION?
NO. HE GOT TOO BIG FOR ME, MAN.
I TURNED HIM OVER
TO A GUY NAMED VIC.
VIC. YEAH, I'VE HEARD OF HIM.
NOW, WHERE DOES HE HANG OUT?
[Chuckles] HEY, MAN, I CAN'T TELL YOU
THAT, 'CAUSE HE'LL COME DOWN ON ME.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I'LL
DO IF YOU DON'T TELL ME?
OKAY, SEAVERS. FOURTH AND
MAIN. A PLACE CALLED LUIGI'S.
YOU TRY THERE FIRST. BUT
LET ME GIVE YOU A LITTLE ADVICE.
VIC IS A TOUGH DUDE. HMM.
YEAH, WELL, LET ME GIVE YOU
A LITTLE ADVICE, MY FRIEND.
YOU KNOW THAT COURT DATE
THAT YOU JUST MISSED? YEAH?
WELL, IF I WERE YOU, I'D
RUN RIGHT DOWN THERE.
LIKE THEY SAY: BETTER LATE
THAN IN VIOLATION OF YOUR BOND.
- WHO SAYS?
- I DO.
A LITTLE THREE-FOOT BANK SHOT BY
KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR. AND IT'S GOOD.
[Exhales] AND THE
LAKERS LEAD 38-33.
IF I EVER TAKE ANOTHER BET, I
HOPE SOMEBODY SHOOTS ME.
YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL WHO
HEARS YOU SAYING STUFF LIKE THAT.
SEAVERS! YOU OLD SON OF A GUN.
LOOKIN' TO LAY DOWN
SOME MONEY? [Laughing]
- WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO?
- WORKING. HOW ABOUT YOU?
EH, SAME.
EXCEPT MY WORK'S A LITTLE
STEADIER THAN YOURS, AND, UH, SAFER.
- YEAH, AND MORE PROFITABLE.
- NOT LATELY.
I GOT THIS ONE LOSER WHO'S
SUDDENLY BECOME A BIG WINNER.
- THE BIRDMAN?
- YEAH. HOW DID YOU KNOW?
ANYWAY, THIS BIRDMAN,
HE'S BEEN KILLING ME.
ALL THESE TEAMS NAMED AFTER
BIRDS, THEY START WINNING.
HE STARTS DOUBLING UP.
SO I... I LAY HIS ACTION
OFF ON RAYMOND FRANKS.
FRANKS? HE'S NO
BIGGER THAN YOU ARE.
OH, HE IS NOW.
JUST TOOK IN SOME NEW
PARTNERS. HE MOVED UPTOWN.
- HOW FAR UPTOWN?
- DAYTON AND SPRING. SIXTEENTH FLOOR.
[Howie] COLT, I'M TELLIN' YA,
THIS GUY FRANKS IS THE BIG TIME.
I MEAN, WE CAN'T JUST WALK
UP TO HIS DESK AND ASK HIM...
WHERE AND WHEN HE'S GONNA MAKE
A PAYOFF TO ONE OF HIS BETTORS.
THE GUY PROBABLY HAS DEMENTED
AND SADISTIC KILLERS WORKING FOR HIM.
DON'T HOLD BACK, KID.
GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST.
- THIS IS NO TIME
FOR JOKES, COLT.
- HE'S RIGHT.
I CAN'T HAVE YOU GO UP AGAINST SOMEBODY
WHO SOUNDS AS DANGEROUS AS THIS MAN FRANKS.
HERE IT IS. HERE WHAT IS?
THE MAN WHO'S GONNA MAKE IT
POSSIBLE FOR US TO FIND THE PAYOFF...
WITHOUT FRANKS EVER KNOWING.
- HI, JODY.
- HI.
WELL, I GOT HERE AS FAST
AS I COULD. WHAT'S UP?
WELL, HOWIE AND I
HAVE A LITTLE JOB TO DO.
I WANT YOU TO STAY WITH
COLEEN HERE UNTIL WE GET BACK.
- COLT, THAT'S NOT NECESSARY.
- WELL, I HOPE
IT ISN'T NECESSARY EITHER.
BUT IT'D MAKE ME FEEL A LOT
BETTER KNOWING YOU'RE NOT ALONE.
I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO REPAY YOU
FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE. BOTH OF YOU.
WELL, I MIGHT BE ABLE
TO COME UP WITH A...
YEAH, MAYBE LATER WHEN WE'VE DONE
SOMETHING TO DESERVE BEING THANKED FOR.
BY THE WAY, CHECK OUTSIDE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.
- YEAH, I'LL KEEP
THE LIGHTS ON OUT THERE.
- I UNLOCKED THE GUN CASE.
WELL, COME ON, KID. WE
GOTTA SEE A MAN ABOUT A SAFE.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
[Howie] HOW ARE WE GONNA
GET INTO FRANKS' OFFICE?
[Colt] DON'T WORRY, KID. I GOT THE
BEST SECOND-STORY MAN IN TOWN.
[Howie] OH, THIS IS A GREAT
WAY TO SPEND NEW YEAR'S EVE.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHIN'. WE
JUST PASSED RIGHT BY THE FLOOR.
WE COULD'VE GONE
RIGHT IN THE OFFICE.
WHAT, AND SET OFF EVERY
ALARM IN THE BUILDING?
WELL, IF WE CAN'T GO THROUGH THE
DOOR, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET IN?
WHAT'S HE DOING
WITH A GLASS CUTTER?
HOW ELSE IS HE GONNA CUT
THE GLASS? AND THE ROPES?
THAT'S HOW WE'RE GONNA
GET INTO THE OFFICE.
[Chuckles] OH!
NO WAY! FORGET IT!
THIS IS NOT FOR ME.
IT'S THE SAFEST WAY
TO BREAK INTO AN OFFICE.
THERE'S ALMOST NO CHANCE
OF GETTIN' CAUGHT. PUT THAT ON.
YEAH, BUT... OH!
WHAT IF I FALL? YOU'RE NOT
GONNA FALL. NOW TRUST ME.
YOU KNOW SOMETHIN'? YOU'RE
RIGHT. I'M NOT GONNA FALL.
AND YOU KNOW WHY I'M NOT
GONNA FALL? BECAUSE I'M GOIN' HOME.
PLEASE DON'T CALL
ME AGAIN, OKAY?
MURPH. MURPH, LOOK. IT'S FUN!
IT'S ALMOST LIKE FLYING.
YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND. I DON'T FLY.
EXCEPT FOR THAT ONE TIME I GOT EXTRADITED
FROM OKLAHOMA, BUT I DON'T COUNT THAT ONE.
CRIMINALS NOWADAYS DON'T SEEM TO HAVE
THAT SENSE OF ADVENTURE, DO THEY, COLT?
[Chuckles] YOU FELLAS DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I DON'T HAVE MEDICAL INSURANCE.
YOU WON'T NEED
IT. COME ON. STEP.
RIGHT UP THERE. THAT-A-BOY.
WRAP IT AROUND YOUR LEG. [Groans]
THAT'S OKAY. YOU GOTTA
HAVE IT TIGHT. YEAH.
LISTEN, IS IT OKAY IF WE
GO TO THE MOVIES INSTEAD?
WE DON'T WANNA DO THIS.
HERE WE GO. YOU READY?
BE HONEST ABOUT THIS.
WHAT DO YOU... OH, MY!
[Colt] I PROMISE YOU
WON'T FALL. TRUST ME.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
FALL? HOOK HIM UP, KID.
OH, PLEASE, DON'T! THERE
MUST BE AN EASIER WAY.
COME ON. OH!
[Sobbing] I DON'T WANNA DO THIS!
ONE. TWO. THREE! OH!
COLT! HOWIE!
COME ON! FELLAS, LISTEN TO
ME! SOMEBODY! I DON'T WANNA...
[Sobbing] THIS IS... OOH!
LOOK, CAN WE GO UP
INSTEAD? AW, COME ON!
- THIS IS FRANKS' OFFICE.
- COLT, THERE'S NOTHIN'
TO STAND ON!
YEAH, BUT AS SOON AS HE GETS
THESE SUCTION CUPS ON THE GLASS,
YOU'LL AT LEAST HAVE
SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO.
"HOLD ON." THAT'S THE FIRST
SANE THING YOU'VE SAID TONIGHT.
DON'T WORRY, MURPH. YOU
COULDN'T POSSIBLY FALL.
WE'VE GOT YOU TIED
OFF ON THE ROOF.
HOWIE, I KNOW YOU MEAN WELL, BUT IF
ANY GUY'S GONNA FALL, I'M GONNA FALL.
I GET PAROLED A YEAR
SOONER TO DIE LIKE THIS?
ISN'T THAT EASY NOW?
EASIER WAS ALCATRAZ!
WHERE IS HE GOING?
HE'S GONNA CUT OUT A PIECE OF
THE WINDOW. NOW YOU JUST RELAX.
OH, MY GOD!
WILL YOU HURRY UP? OH!
WHY ME?
HURRY UP!
COME ON! MOVE FASTER, WILL YOU?
LISTEN, LET ME ASK
YOU SOMETHING.
HOW CAN YOU GUYS
BE SO CALM? COME ON!
[Sobbing]
LOOK, FELLAS.
LOOK, UH, FELLAS,
I KNOW I'M BEING...
YOU GOT IN. OKAY,
THAT'S GREAT. I-I-I-I...
I DON'T WANNA BE A PAIN
IN THE NECK, BUT MOVE IT!
COLT! COLT, THIS
THING IS SLIPPING!
MURPH, REATTACH IT!
REATTACH WHAT? I'M GONNA DIE!
- MURPH!
- [Screaming]
DON'T LOOK DOWN, MURPH.
I'M NOT LOOKIN' DOWN
OR IN ANY DIRECTION.
I GOT MY EYES CLOSED!
[Straining]
[Gasping] FELLAS,
COME ON! DO SOMETHIN'!
- PULL, KID!
- IF I DIE, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!
[Sobbing]
WHY AM I BEING
SUBJECTED TO THIS?
HIGHER! PULL HIGHER!
THAT'S IT! COME ON, MORE!
YEAH! YEAH! COME ON, PULL!
I BET THIS COULD BE A LOT OF
FUN IF I COULD ENJOY THIS. MORE.
I KNOW THIS IS EASY
FOR YOU, BUT... BUT IT'S...
WHOA!
FELLAS, PLEASE. NEXT TIME, YOU
GIVE ME A GUN, I'LL GO IN BLASTING.
IT'LL BE SAFER
THAT WAY. [Groaning]
HEY, MURPH! MURPH, THE
WORST IS OVER. [Panting]
THERE'S GOTTA BE A SAFE
IN THIS ROOM SOMEWHERE.
HOW'D HE KNOW
THAT'S WHERE IT WAS?
THINK YOU CAN OPEN
IT? ARE YOU KIDDIN'?
AFTER TONIGHT, I COULD
OPEN UP FORT KNOX.
OH! [Clicking]
WOW! OH, BABY!
HEY, HEY, HEY!
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!
WHAT? WE DIDN'T COME
HERE TO RIP HIM OFF.
- WHAT? WHAT DID WE COME HERE FOR?
- RECORDS.
RECORDS? BOOKIES KEEP RECORDS OF
WHERE THEY MAKE PAYOFFS TO CLIENTS.
WHEN AND FOR HOW MUCH.
YOU MEAN TO TELL ME I ALMOST
KILLED MYSELF BECAUSE OF RECORDS?
RAYMOND FRANKS? ARE
YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?
GIVE ME THIS! PUT IT BACK!
WAIT A MINUTE!
WAIT A MINUTE! COLT!
WAIT... WAIT A MINUTE. WE'RE
JUST GONNA BORROW IT, HUH?
[Footsteps Approaching]
BETTER GET OUT OF HERE.
THEY CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW!
COME ON! LET'S GO
TO THE ELEVATOR.
HANG ON. WE MAY BE HAVING
A LITTLE COMPANY. HUH?
OH! COLT, IF YOU WANNA KILL ME,
WHY DON'T YOU PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD?
MURPH, YOU'RE AS SAFE AS A
BABY IN ITS MOTHER'S ARMS. OH!
WE'LL GET THOSE TURKEYS NOW.
OH!
COME ON. WE'RE
GAINING NOW. COME ON.
[No Audible Dialogue]
[Howie] THERE'S A CAR
CARRIER BLOCKING THE STREET!
- NO!
- [Colt] HANG ON! WE'RE GOING OVER!
[Murph] NO! NO! NO!
[Screaming]
LOOK OUT!
MURPH? MURPH? ARE YOU OKAY?
GIVE HIM A MINUTE,
KID. HE'LL THAW OUT.
COLT, WAS MURPH'S
HAIR ALWAYS THIS GRAY?
[Howie] COLT, THIS MAKES
ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE.
HEY. HERE YOU GO. NOTHING
LIKE A CUP OF HOT, FRESH COFFEE...
TO HELP YOU THINK STRAIGHT.
- THANKS, JODY.
- I GIVE UP.
WE CAN'T QUIT NOW. ALL THESE
NUMBERS HAVE TO MEAN SOMETHING.
WE JUST HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT THE CODE.
YEAH, BUT THE ONLY
WAY WE CAN DO THAT...
IS TO PUT IT THROUGH THE SAME
KIND OF COMPUTER THAT FRANKS USED.
YEAH, WHICH WILL TAKE
MORE TIME THAN WE GOT.
YEAH, I'M AFRAID SO. WELL, IT DOESN'T
LOOK LIKE WE'VE GOT ANY OTHER OPTIONS.
WE DON'T,
EXCEPT TO GET FRANKS TO
INTERPRET HIS BOOKS FOR US.
COLT, YOU JUST STOLE THEM. HE'S
GONNA WANNA KILL YOU, NOT HELP YOU.
NOT IF I OFFER TO GIVE 'EM BACK.
NOW, LET'S SEE IF HE'S IN A
MOOD TO STRIKE UP A DEAL.
COLT, YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
I'M AFRAID HE IS SERIOUS.
[Phone Ringing] HELLO?
YEAH, I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO
RAYMOND FRANKS, PLEASE.
YOU GOT HIM. WHO IS THIS?
WELL, THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT RIGHT
NOW. WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS THAT...
I HAPPEN TO KNOW THE WHEREABOUTS
OF SOMETHING YOU'RE MISSING.
GO ON. I WAS THINKING WE MIGHT
BE ABLE TO STRIKE UP A LITTLE SWAP.
- WHAT'D YOU HAVE IN MIND?
- LOOKING FOR
ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS.
GOES BY THE NAME OF BIRDMAN. DO YOU
KNOW WHERE I MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND HIM?
I DO, PROVIDIN' WHAT'S
MISSIN' IS RETURNED.
- OH, IT WILL BE.
- ALL RIGHT.
YOU KNOW LUIGI'S?
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
ON MY WAY.
WHO WAS THAT?
A DEAD MAN.
JODY, GET ME AN ENVELOPE.
AN ENVELOPE? YEAH, A
LARGE ONE. AND SOME STAMPS.
YOU GOT IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY
YOU WANT IT, BUT YOU GOT IT.
I CERTAINLY HOPE THIS IS
PART OF A MASTER PLAN. IT IS.
GATHER UP THE
BOOKS. WE GOTTA MOVE.
I'M GOING WITH
YOU. NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU AND JODY ARE STAYING
RIGHT HERE. HERE YOU GO.
COLT, WHATEVER YOU
DO, PLEASE BE CAREFUL.
DON'T WORRY. JUST MAKE SURE
THE DOOR'S LOCKED BEHIND US...
IN CASE YOUR BROTHER'S FRIENDS
ARE STILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.
LET'S GO, KID.
[Man On TV] IT'S GOING TO
BE HARD TO GET USED TO,
BUT OFFICIALLY DAVEY LOPES, THE
FORMER DODGER SECOND BASEMAN,
BECAME AN OAKLAND "A" TODAY.
THE DODGERS FEEL FREE TO TRADE THE
35-YEAR-OLD VETERAN FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
THEY HAVE A FINE YOUNG
REPLACEMENT IN STEVE SAX,
THEY DON'T HAVE TO PAY LOPES
HIS HEAVY SALARY OF $300,000-PLUS,
AND LOPES WASN'T NECESSARILY
EFFECTIVE ANYMORE ANYWAY...
WITH HIS AVERAGE OF
JUST .206 LAST YEAR.
ONE SIGNIFICANT STAT IN
THE DEAL IS THE DODGERS
INFIELD OF CEY, RUSSELL,
LOPES AND GARVEY...
HAD BEEN TOGETHER SINCE 1973...
I WAS EXPECTING
TO SEE SPIDER-MAN.
THAT'S A VERY CREATIVE
WAY TO BREAK INTO AN OFFICE.
MY BOYS WERE VERY IMPRESSED.
OH, THERE'S
NOTHING TO IT, REALLY.
NOW, YOU SAID YOU WOULD TELL
ME HOW TO FIND THE BIRDMAN.
HE'LL BE AT THE CORNER OF HIGHLAND
AND OLIVE IN PASADENA AT NOON.
- HIGHLAND AND OLIVE?
- THAT'S RIGHT NEXT TO
THE JAPANESE BRIDGE.
HE'LL BE THERE FOR HIS PAYOFF.
THE BIRDMAN WAS
VERY LUCKY LAST WEEK.
UNFORTUNATELY, I CAN'T
SAY THE SAME FOR YOU.
I THOUGHT WE HAD A BARGAIN.
A BARGAIN? COME, NOW.
YOU REALLY THINK I WAS
GONNA LET YOU OFF THE HOOK?
NO, I DIDN'T. THAT'S WHY I MAILED
YOUR BOOKS TO A FRIEND OF MINE...
ALONG WITH A LITTLE NOTE TO TAKE IT TO
THE POLICE IF SHE DIDN'T HEAR FROM ME.
VERY CLEVER.
WELL, I NEEDED SOME INSURANCE TO
MAKE SURE I WALKED OUT OF HERE ALIVE.
WELL, YOU'VE SEEN TO
IT THAT I CAN'T STOP YOU.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW
FAR YOU'RE GONNA GET.
IT SEEMS THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE WHO
HAS A SCORE TO SETTLE WITH YOU BESIDES ME.
I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL A FEW MINUTES
AGO FROM SOMEBODY BIGGER THAN BOTH OF US.
REALLY? YOU MIND TELLING ME WHO?
FRIENDS IN THE MIDWEST?
MIDWEST?
THAT WOULDN'T HAPPEN TO
BE MINNEAPOLIS, WOULD IT?
YEAH. HOW'D YOU KNOW?
[Chuckles] GOOD GUESSER.
I SUGGEST YOU STAY
OFF THE STREETS.
THANKS FOR THE TIP.
HOW COULD SOMEONE HAVE CALLED
HIM? WHO KNEW WE WERE COMING HERE?
THE SAME PERSON THAT KNEW ABOUT HARVEY
MEDINA AND EVERY OTHER MOVE WE'VE MADE.
YOU DON'T MEAN...
YES, I DO, KID.
SHE WAS STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO
ME WHEN I SAID THE NAME OF THE BAR.
WELL, NOW SHE'S ALONE WITH JODY.
JODY? JODY? [Muffled Grunting]
JODY!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TELL ME COLEEN DID IT.
SHE WENT TO CALL SOMEBODY ABOUT HER
BROTHER. THEN SHE PULLED A GUN ON ME.
I KNOW SHE WENT TO SEE HIM, BUT I
DON'T KNOW WHERE. IT'S ALL RIGHT. I DO.
OLIVE AND HIGHLAND,
RIGHT, COLT? YEAH, KID.
ACCORDING TO THIS, THAT'S WHERE THEY
STORE THE FLOATS AFTER THE ROSE PARADE.
[Man] OKAY, MOVING
IN THIS DIRECTION.
FEEL FREE TO TAKE
PICTURES IF YOU WANT TO.
THIS NEXT FLOAT CELEBRATES
THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT.
ALWAYS A FAVORITE WITH
THE LOCAL PARTISANS,
THE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT
HAS BEEN ENTERING FLOATS...
COLT, I DON'T SEE
ANY JAPANESE BRIDGE.
RIGHT OVER HERE. IT'S
MADE OUT OF FLOWERS.
WELL, YOU DON'T THINK
THAT'S THE MEETING PLACE?
CAN YOU THINK OF A PLACE LESS
LIKELY FOR A BOOKIE TO MAKE A PAYOFF?
YOU GOT A POINT. WE
DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
WILCOX WILL BE HERE ANY
MINUTE, IF HE'S NOT HERE ALREADY.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
UH-HUH. I'LL SET UP THE DECOY.
[Man] IT ACTUALLY TOOK MONTHS
TO BUILD THE BASIC STRUCTURE.
AND THEN ON DECEMBER 27, SEVERAL
HUNDRED VOLUNTEERS WERE EMPLOYED...
TO ACTUALLY APPLY THE FLOWERS.
IT'S REALLY PRETTY, ISN'T
IT? OKAY, RIGHT THIS WAY.
THIS ENTRY FROM LONG BEACH
WON THIS YEAR'S MAYOR'S TROPHY.
AGAIN, EVERY ELEMENT OF THE DESIGN
IS DONE WITH FLOWERS OR PLANT PARTS.
FOR INSTANCE, LOOK AT THE
STRATA ALONG THE CLIFFS HERE.
THAT'S ALL DONE WITH FLOWER
SEEDS, DIFFERENT COLORS.
OKAY, RIGHT OVER HERE
WE HAVE THE FLOAT...
FROM THE JAPANESE-AMERICAN
FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY.
ONCE AGAIN, THEIR ENTRY
HAS INCORPORATED BAMBOO...
INTO THE DECORATIVE
AND STRUCTURAL DESIGN.
IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, YOU CAN SEE A
SMALL OPEN AREA AT THE BASE OF THE BAMBOO.
THIS IS WHERE THE FLOAT'S DRIVER
LOOKS OUT TO STEER DURING THE PARADE.
ALL OF THE FLOATS USE
FOUR-CYLINDER ENGINES.
WILCOX! YOU'RE A
HARD MAN TO FIND.
I'M ALMOST SORRY IT'S OVER.
AND BY TOMORROW, THE REST
WILL BE TAKEN TOTALLY APART.
BUT ONCE THE AREA IS CLEARED,
WE'LL JUST START FROM SCRATCH,
AND ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES.
IT'S TOO BAD LON WASN'T AROUND
TO SEE HIS SISTER'S PERFORMANCE.
IT'S OVER, COLEEN. WHY DON'T YOU
MAKE IT EASY ON BOTH OF US, HUH?
I WISH THINGS COULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT BETWEEN US.
AIN'T IT ALWAYS THE WAY?
BUT THAT'S THE STORY
OF MY LIFE. COME ON, KID.
ALL RIGHT, THEY USED
OVER 20,000 CARNATIONS...
IN THIS NEXT FLOAT WE'RE
GONNA BE LOOKING AT.
EVERYBODY WANNA TRY
AND STAY TOGETHER, PLEASE?
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME...
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
- [Gunshot]
- [Visitors Screaming]
GET SOMEWHERE HIGH
WHERE YOU CAN SEE THEM.
HOWIE!
ALL RIGHT, COLT, HOWIE'S
GOING OUT WITH ME.
YOU BETTER STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE IF YOU
EVER WANNA SEE YOUR PARTNER ALIVE AGAIN.
YOU HEAR, COLT?
SORRY, COLEEN,
THE PARADE IS OVER.
HARV, I CAN'T GET OVER
HOW GOOD YOU LOOK. YEAH.
THE KID AND I WERE REAL WORRIED ABOUT
YOU WHEN WE HEARD ABOUT YOUR ACCIDENT.
SPARE ME, SEAVERS,
'CAUSE WHEN I GET OUT
OF THIS BEDPAN PALACE,
I'M GONNA HAVE A FEW
SURPRISES FOR YOU.
HEY, NOW, HARVEY, WAIT A
MINUTE. YOU CAN'T BLAME ME.
I TOLD YOU TO LOOK BOTH WAYS
BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET.
HA! RICHLY COMIC.
THE LEAST YOU COULD
HAVE DONE IS GIVE ME A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT COLEEN WILCOX.
I WISH I COULD HAVE.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE COLEEN
WAS A HIT LADY FOR THE MOB.
YEAH. ACCORDING TO THE JUSTICE
DEPARTMENT, SHE WAS THEIR ACE.
YEAH, WELL, SHE
REALLY HAD ME FOOLED.
DON'T FEEL BAD, KID. IT
HAPPENS TO THE BEST OF US.
YEAH, AND THERE'S ONE THING
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IF LON WILCOX PICKED
ALL THOSE WINNERS,
WELL, HOW COME HE NEVER
SHOWED UP TO COLLECT HIS MONEY?
'CAUSE WHEN I FOUND
OUT HE WASN'T DEAD,
THAT HE WAS REALLY A WITNESS
IN THE RELOCATION PROGRAM,
I HAD THE FEDS THROW A
NET AROUND HIM IN A HURRY.
YOU SAVED HIS LIFE.
YEAH. HE CALLED
ME TO SAY, "THANKS."
ALL HE HAD TO SAY WAS "THANKS"?
NO. HE TOLD ME TO TAKE
ATLANTA AND THE POINTS.
WHICH REMINDS ME. TAKE
THAT $10,000 YOU OWE ME...
AND GO FIND A
HAIRDRESSER NAMED SYDNIE.
YOU TELL HIM TO TAKE THE
POINTS AND BET THE UNDER.
YOU REMEMBER THAT?
SURE.
THANKS.
