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.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT I
JUST SAW IT. A KILLER GHOST.
HOLD IT! FREEZE!
JODY, TAKE HER PLACE!
GO, JODY.
- THAT CUE WAS TOO EARLY.
- ALL RIGHT. HOLD IT!
HOLD IT! CUT IT!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TRYING TO DO? I'M SORRY.
THE SPECIAL EFFECTS
MAN MISSED HIS CUE.
THERE IS NO CUE WHILE I'M
ON CAMERA. WE DON'T RISK ME.
YOU WAIT UNTIL THERE'S
A STUNTMAN UP THERE.
I PROMISE YOU, IT
WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT
FOR TODAY, EVERYBODY! THAT'S IT.
AND YOU REMEMBER ONE THING,
THERE ARE A LOT OF STUNTMEN AROUND,
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE JAN MURRAY.
BOY, A GUY CAN GET
KILLED AROUND HERE.
- ALL RIGHT, FOLKS. THAT'S A WRAP.
- YOU, NOT ME.
YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO
DO THIS AGAIN TOMORROW?
WELL, JODY, ON
YOU IT LOOKS GOOD.
COLT, HOW 'BOUT IF I TAKE
YOUR PLACE TOMORROW?
I CAN HIT THE MARK. THERE
WON'T BE ANY PROBLEM.
I CAN SEE IN THE DARK
LIKE A CAT. IT'S A BAT.
AND, KID, EVERY STUNT
HAS A PROBLEM. HERE, JODY.
COME ON. LET'S GO TO WARDROBE.
HI, COLT. HI, HERVÉ.
HEY, WHEN YOU GONNA SHRINK
ENOUGH TO DO MY STUNTS?
WELL, YOU GOT ONE
OF THE BEST THERE IS.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF
EMBARRASSING FOR THE LITTLE GUY...
TO BE CALLED TO DO ALL
THE DANGEROUS STUFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT? MY DOUBLE IS
GONNA JUMP OUT OF AN AIRPLANE.
YEAH, WELL, TREAT HIM NICE.
LET HIM WEAR A PARACHUTE.
DON'T WORRY. BYE.
CATCH YOU LATER.
HELLO, JOE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME
TO MAKE SURE AN OLD FRIEND...
WASN'T ALL ALONE
ON A MOMENTOUS DAY.
COME ON, I'LL GIVE YOU
A RIDE BACK TO TOWN.
I DON'T WANT
ANYTHING FROM YOU. OH.
WELL, I DO FROM YOU.
NOW, WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE? I KNOW IT'S
BEEN FIVE YEARS AND YOU'RE PROBABLY RUSTY,
BUT DON'T WORRY,
I'LL BE WATCHING YOU.
AH-AH. HEY.
MAKE THAT MILK AND COOKIES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, A
KID? NO, YOU'RE IN TRAINING...
JUST LIKE A PILOT 10
HOURS BEFORE FLIGHT.
YOUR NERVES HAVE TO BE STEADY,
YOUR EYES CLEAR AND YOUR HEART PURE.
BEAUTIFUL DROP
VOLLEY FOR A WINNER.
YOU MEAN I GET TO DO
THAT GAG TOMORROW?
- YEAH.
- GREAT!
HEY, WHERE'RE YOU
GOING? I'M GOING OUT...
TO DO EVERYTHING I
TOLD YOU NOT TO DO.
GREAT PASSING
SHOT DOWN THE LINE.
THIS IS BAD FOR YOU. NO, NO.
YEAH! LAVER TO SERVE
FOR THE FIRST GAME.
I KNOW WHAT YOU
WANT. YOU CAN FORGET IT.
COME ON. I'M NOT GONNA
BE UNREASONABLE, JOE.
ALL I WANT IS 50%.
WE SPLIT THE FIVE MILLION. WE'RE
GONE BEFORE THE OTHERS KNOW ABOUT IT.
WISE UP, JOE. THE ONLY TIME YOU
DON'T SHARE IS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
HEY, OFFICER. LOOK,
THAT GUY, HE'S GOT A...
OH, THE HELL WITH IT.
OKAY. COME ON, WISE
GUY, INTO THE CAR.
GET IN THERE.
♪♪
EXCELLENT FOREHAND RIGHT
ON THE LINE FOR A WINNER.
THAT MAKES THE SCORE
30-LOVE. WELL, WELL.
THIRTY-LOVE. WELL,
AIN'T THAT SWEET.
HEY. HEY, KNOCK
IT OFF. I LIKE TENNIS.
OH, REALLY, SWEETHEART?
WELL, I BET YOU DO.
HEY. HEY. YOU CAN'T
HIT ME. I'M A STUNTMAN.
IT'S LIKE TRYING
TO HIT A SHADOW.
I WONDER WHAT TENNIS
MATCH HE WAS WATCHING.
DADDY.
HI, BABE. I CAME AS
SOON AS YOU CALLED.
YOU STILL MY GIRL?
YOU BET I AM. IT'S
BEEN A LONG TIME.
HOW ARE THINGS GOING? WONDERFUL.
MY ACTING COACH SAYS I'M GETTING BETTER
EVERY DAY. HE THINKS I HAVE STAR QUALITY.
I TOLD YOU THAT A LONG TIME AGO.
UH, YOU HAVE ANY LUCK
GETTING COLLATERAL FOR MY BAIL?
NO. I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
UH... HEY, UH, I'M IN
SHOW BUSINESS TOO.
REALLY? YEAH.
HOWIE MUNSON. JUNE EDWARDS.
I SPEND ALL MY TIME OUT AT THE
STUDIOS. OH, REALLY? HOW LUCKY.
DO YOU KNOW BARBRA STREISAND?
KNOW HER? I WAS HER.
YOU KNOW, THE HARDEST PART WAS
FINDING A PAIR OF SIZE 13 HIGH-HEEL PUMPS.
I SEE.
HE'S BEEN NICE TO ME. HE WORKS PART-TIME
FOR A BAIL BOND COMPANY AS A TRACKER.
HE SAYS HE CAN FIND THE INVISIBLE MAN
AND FOLLOW TARZAN FROM VINE TO VINE.
WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MY OWN BAIL,
I TOLD BIG JACK ABOUT YOUR FATHER.
DOES HE WEAR HIGH HEELS TOO?
WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT SHE...
OH. OH, NO. YOU... YOU'VE
GOT ME ALL WRONG.
I'M A STUNTMAN. I HAVE TO LOOK LIKE
THE PERSON I'M DOING THE STUNT FOR.
OH, REALLY? AND JUST WHO
ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE NOW?
BOY, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU. I
WISH THE FEELING WERE MUTUAL.
A BARROOM BRAWL? HOWIE, YOU
SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
- HEY, I'M INNOCENT.
- OH, REALLY? THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY.
SO HOW COME IT TOOK
YOU ALL NIGHT TO GET HERE?
BECAUSE I ASKED MY
SERVICE TO HOLD ALL MY CALLS.
ANYWAY, YOU SHOULD
HAVE CALLED COLT. I DID.
HE DIDN'T ANSWER.
OH, BY THE WAY,
THIS IS JOE EDWARDS,
THE GUY I TOLD YOU ABOUT.
ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE
HIM WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
HOWIE, I DON'T NEED
APPRECIATION, I NEED COLLATERAL.
- MY FATHER'S HONEST.
- OH, REALLY? THEN
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
I'M SORRY, I DON'T
REALLY MEAN TO BE RUDE.
IT'S... IT'S JUST THAT I GOT
CALLED OUT OF A NICE WARM BED.
I'M SORRY WE WOKE YOU UP.
I WASN'T SLEEPING.
MISS JACK. MISS JACK,
PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP.
WILL YOU HELP US?
BOY, YOU OUGHT TO FEEL REAL PROUD.
JUNE SEEMS LIKE A WONDERFUL GIRL.
THANKS.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD
VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH IT.
WELL, THEN HER MOTHER
MUST HAVE BEEN...
NO. SH-SHE MISSED OUT ON THAT TOO.
SHE WAS BROUGHT UP IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
- JOE EDWARDS.
- YEAH.
YOUR BAIL'S BEEN
PUT UP. YOU CAN GO.
HOWIE, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
I DON'T BELIEVE
SHE DID IT. WHY NOT?
WELL, BIG JACK'S A REALIST
WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE.
UH, NO "TICKEE," NO LAUNDRY.
NO COLLATERAL, NO BAIL.
YOU SURE SOMEBODY
ELSE DIDN'T DO IT?
- WHO PUT UP MY BAIL?
- STEVEN BATES.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO
TURN IT DOWN, DON'T I?
- YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO DO.
- I'M STAYING.
OKAY.
UH...
HOWIE, UH, I-I'VE BEEN
IN JAIL FIVE YEARS.
I THINK I CAN TRUST YOU.
WHAT THE HELL AM I
SAYING? I HAVE TO TRUST YOU.
MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. MY
DAUGHTER'S FUTURE. WILL YOU HELP ME?
WELL, OF COURSE
I WILL, IF I CAN.
LOOK, I GOTTA GET OUT
OF HERE ON MY OWN.
I-I... I DON'T HAVE COLLATERAL,
BUT I HAVE THE CASH.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU SEND JUNE TO
GET IT? NO. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THEY KNOW HER. I HAVE
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH,
AND THESE MEN WILL DO
ANYTHING TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT.
LOOK, I'LL GIVE YOU A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CASH...
IF YOU'LL GO TO SAN
DIEGO AND GET MY BAIL.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND?
A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
HOWARD MUNSON.
YOU CAN GO.
HOWIE...
GO TO SAN DIEGO, FIND
ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE BAIL. ROSE
BUTTERWORTH. WH-WHAT'S HER ADDRESS?
I-I'M NOT SURE. SHE
MOVES AROUND A LOT.
BUT WITH YOUR
EXPERIENCE, YOU'LL FIND HER.
PLEASE, IF NOT FOR ME,
WILL YOU DO IT FOR JUNE?
I... I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER
HURT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF ME.
PLEASE. YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT
CAN HELP. OKAY, OKAY. I'LL HANDLE IT.
BUT I'VE GOT AN IMPORTANT
STUNT TO DO FIRST.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU, IF YOU COULD
SPARE A MINUTE. WELL, WHAT ABOUT?
I'D RATHER DO IT AWAY FROM HERE.
I'M STEVEN BATES.
THIS IS ABEL ALLEN.
- YOU'RE THE GUY WHO TRIED
TO BAIL OUT JOE.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
AND A LITTLE BIT OF A PARADOX. I PUT
HIM INTO PRISON IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HE WAS PART OF A GANG THAT STOLE A
FIVE MILLION DOLLAR NAVY PAYROLL IN HAWAII.
WE'RE WITH NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
WHY ALL THE ROUGH
STUFF WITH THE GUNS?
EXPEDIENCE. WE HAD TO GET
YOU AWAY FROM THE JAIL QUICKLY.
YOU SEE, THERE ARE MEMBERS OF
HIS OLD GANG STILL LOOKING FOR HIM.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS
ALL ABOUT AND I DON'T REALLY CARE.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
I'M READY TO FORGET...
THAT I EVER MET JOE EDWARDS
OR EITHER OF YOU GUYS.
WE WERE HOPING YOU WOULD
TELL US WHAT EDWARDS TOLD YOU.
- HE ASKED ME
TO GET BAIL FOR HIM.
- WHERE?
- SAN DIEGO.
- FROM WHOM?
A WOMAN NAMED ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
MR. MUNSON, YOU HAVE TO HELP
US LOCATE THIS ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW. SHE'S IN
SAN DIEGO. GO FIND HER YOURSELF.
NO GOOD. LET'S SAY WE DO
FIND HER. SHE'LL BE SUSPICIOUS.
SHE'LL ASK US QUESTIONS ABOUT EDWARDS
NEITHER OF US COULD POSSIBLY ANSWER.
WHEN HE GOT OUT OF PRISON, I TRIED
TO CONVINCE HIM I WAS A CROOK TOO,
THAT WE'D SPLIT THE MONEY, SO HE
COULD LEAD US TO IT, BUT HE WAS TOO SMART.
SHE MIGHT BE THE MISSING
LINK WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.
AND IF JOE TRUSTS YOU, MORE
THAN LIKELY THE WOMAN WILL TOO.
WELL, I STILL DON'T KNOW
WHY HE TRUSTED ME.
HE HAD TO. RAN OUT OF OPTIONS.
WELL, SHE ONLY HAS TO
GIVE ME THE BAIL MONEY.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO
WITH YOUR FIVE MILLION BUCKS?
EDWARDS STASHED THE
MONEY WITH SOMEONE.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
THAT SOMEONE FOR FIVE YEARS.
YOU MAY HAVE JUST GIVEN US
THE LEAD WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
IF SHE'S IT, SHE COULD LEAD YOU
TO ALL THE MONEY TO GET SOME OF IT.
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU GUYS...
- IT'S YOUR DUTY.
- I'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.
- WE'LL CLEAR IT.
- NAH, IT'S TOO IMPORTANT.
MORE THAN YOUR PATRIOTISM?
HE STILL HASN'T SHOWN UP?
NO, AND I'M GETTING
REALLY WORRIED.
HE WOULDN'T JUST DISAPPEAR.
NO, HE WOULD'VE PHONED
OR LEFT A MESSAGE.
YOU DON'T SUPPOSE SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO HIM, DO YOU?
OH, I DON'T KNOW. AFTER
THIS FALL, I'LL FIND OUT.
READY, COLT?
YEAH. LET'S DO IT. COME ON, KID.
QUIET ON THE SET. WE'RE
ROLLING. SCENE 201. TAKE 14.
MARKER.
ALL RIGHT. ACTION.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT I JUST SAW IT.
A KILLER GHOST.
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT.
FREEZE. JODY, STEP IN.
BE READY, COLT.
OUT, HONEY. OUT.
GO, JODY.
- COLT, YOU'RE ON.
- PLEASE, YOU'VE
GOTTA HELP ME.
IN A MINUTE. IN A MINUTE.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS.
JUST A MINUTE. CUT. CUT.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN
I DO THE SAME SCENE?
COLT, WHAT'S GOIN' ON? LOOK,
I'M SORRY. IT WAS, UH, MY FAULT.
LOOK, I CAN HAVE JODY DRIED UP
AND WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN IN 20 MINUTES.
YEAH. WELL, ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL TRY IT AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON.
NEXT SETUP. ALL
RIGHT. NEW SETUP.
I'VE REALLY DONE IT
THIS TIME, HAVEN'T I?
BEFORE YOU DO IT AGAIN,
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL, MY FATHER'S BEEN ACCUSED
OF BEATING UP A POLICE OFFICER.
- WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- WELL, WE MET YOUR FRIEND
HOWIE IN JAIL.
- JAIL? HOWIE? HOWIE'S IN JAIL?
- HE BEAT UP A BUNCH
OF TRUCK DRIVERS.
COLT. TELEPHONE.
UH... TRUCK DRIVERS?
COLT SEAVERS.
HI. IT'S ME. HOWIE.
HOWIE. WHAT... WHAT MADE YOU
BEAT UP A BUNCH OF TRUCK DRIVERS?
IT WASN'T A BUNCH.
IT WAS ONLY THREE.
- WHY'D YOU BEAT UP
THREE TRUCK DRIVERS?
- I DIDN'T. THEY KNOCKED ME OUT.
WELL, WHERE ARE YOU?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
HOWIE, YOU LISTEN TO ME...
COLT, THE ONLY REASON
I GOT TO CALL YOU...
WAS BECAUSE I TOLD THEM YOU
WERE AS PATRIOTIC AS ANYBODY.
- TOLD WHO?
- I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT
EITHER.
LOOK, WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M COMING TO GET YOU.
NO, YOU CAN'T.
- WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO SAN DIEGO.
- WHAT ABOUT THE GAG? THERE'S STILL TIME.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FILL IN FOR ME.
LOOK, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO YOUR CAREER.
- COLT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT
ARE MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE.
- LIKE WHAT?
OUR COUNTRY.
HOW... HOWIE.
NOW, LET'S START AT THE
BEGINNING. HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
UH... BIG JACK. AFTER
SHE BAILED OUT HOWIE,
SHE TOLD ME YOU COULD
HELP ME GET MY FATHER OUT.
- WHY IS HOWIE GOING
TO SAN DIEGO?
- I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE COMING WITH
ME. WHERE ARE WE GOING?
TO JAIL.
TWO BRUTES OVER
ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
BUT, DADDY, I KNOW
YOU CAN TRUST HIM.
THE LESS BOTH OF
YOU KNOW, THE BETTER.
LOOK, AT LEAST TELL ME WHY YOU
SENT HOWIE DOWN TO SAN DIEGO.
- HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
- HE TOLD ME ON THE PHONE.
WHAT ELSE DID HE TELL YOU? HE
SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS GOING OFF TO WAR.
HE SAID HE HAD A COUPLE
OF MORE MEN WITH HIM.
THEN THEY CAUGHT UP WITH
HIM. WHO CAUGHT UP WITH HIM?
SOME OF MY OLD NAVY FRIENDS.
LOOK, DOES THIS PUT HOWIE
INTO SOME KIND OF DANGER?
WAIT. I'M WARNING YOU. IF
ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT KID,
BELIEVE ME, YOU BETTER
PRAY YOU NEVER GET
OUT OF HERE, BECAUSE
I'LL BE WAITING ON YOU.
DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO MY
FATHER THAT WAY. HE'S A GOOD MAN.
WELL, GOOD MEN DON'T
RISK OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, JUNE. HE'S
RIGHT. LOOK, WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.
- WHAT KIND OF DEAL?
- YOU GET ME OUT OF HERE, AND
WE'LL HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
I SWEAR TO YOU,
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
BYE, BABY.
- USE MY TRUCK AS COLLATERAL.
- YOU'RE JOKING.
YEAH, A LAUGH A MINUTE.
LOOK, I GOT A JOB TO FINISH.
YOU TELL YOUR FATHER TO WAIT
FOR ME AT THE JAIL. HE'LL BE THERE.
WHAT IF HE SKIPS?
THEN I'LL BRING HIM BACK.
FREE? IT'S MY TRUCK.
AND MY MONEY.
CUT. PRINT IT. BEAUTIFUL.
COLT, I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU DOING THIS STUNT FOR ME.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO, THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO TELL YOU.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS FOR ME.
JODY, DON'T BE GRATEFUL
NOW. OKAY? WHY NOT?
'CAUSE I HATE WATER...
EVEN AS A CHASER.
JOE. YOU LOOK A LITTLE NERVOUS.
IF YOU MET COLLINS,
YOU WOULD BE TOO.
YEAH? WHO IS HE?
A NAVY COMMANDER.
THE DEADLIEST OF THE
BUNCH. WHAT DOES HE WANT?
THE FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS I STOLE.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT BACK? I
WISH I COULD, BUT ROSE HAS IT.
SHE'S IN SAN DIEGO? SOMEWHERE.
WHERE'S JUNE? UH, SHE
WENT TO THE LADIES' ROOM.
ALONE?
HEY.
EXCUSE ME. HAVE YOU SEEN
A BLONDE GIRL, ABOUT 18,
GREEN SWEATER, PALE YELLOW
PANTS? YEAH, SHE JUST LEFT.
WHICH WAY DID SHE GO?
THAT WAY WITH A NAVY OFFICER.
OH, MY GOD.
HEY, YOU, WAIT. HEY.
MOVE IT!
WHOA!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY GOT JUNE. SHE'S
IN TERRIBLE DANGER.
AND SO IS HOWIE.
WHERE TO, SIR?
TO FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
THERE IT IS, FOLKS. CATCH THIS.
ROSE BUTTERWORTH, MARRIED
20 YEARS AGO, AND GUESS WHO TO?
RIGHT THE FIRST
TIME. JOE EDWARDS.
- WHAT ELSE?
- WELL, THAT'S IT.
- THAT'S IT?
- IT LEAVES US NOWHERE.
HEY, THERE YOU
GO AGAIN. NEGATIVE.
NOW, WHERE THE HELL
IS ROSE BUTTERWORTH?
WHAT NOW?
WELL, I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT COLT WOULD DO NEXT.
HE'S THE BEST, YOU KNOW. HE'S THE ONE
WHO TAUGHT ME ABOUT TRACKING PEOPLE.
DO YOU THINK THIS GUY
IS STALLING? I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, MAYBE HE'S SMARTER THAN
HE ACTS. THAT WOULDN'T BE HARD.
WE... HEY. I GOT IT.
JOE EDWARDS WENT TO PRISON
FIVE YEARS AGO, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
WELL, HE KNEW THAT ROSE LIVED
IN SAN DIEGO, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
HE GAVE ME HER MAIDEN NAME,
WHICH MEANS THAT SHE WASN'T...
LIVING DOWN HERE
UNDER HER MARRIED NAME.
SO?
SO, THE DIVORCE RECORDS
ARE DOWN THE HALL.
BUT I KEEP TELLING YOU, I
DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.
HMM. YOU'LL REMEMBER.
I FOUND SOMETHING BETTER THAN SODIUM
PENTOTHAL FOR JOGGING THE MEMORY.
- WHAT'S THAT, SIR?
- FEAR.
WELL, I'D FEEL TERRIFIED TOO
IF I WERE FACING WHAT YOU ARE.
I'D TELL HIM WHATEVER
YOU KNOW, MISS.
ALL MY DADDY EVER TOLD ME WAS THAT
IF I WAS EVER IN ANY SERIOUS TROUBLE,
I SHOULD CALL ROSE
BUTTERWORTH IN SAN DIEGO.
ROSE BUTTERWORTH?
AND DID YOU CALL HER?
ONCE, A LONG TIME AGO, BUT
THE NUMBER WAS DISCONNECTED.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE NUMBER?
YES, I HAD TO MEMORIZE IT.
UH, 555-1001.
DAWSON, CHECK IT
THROUGH INTELLIGENCE.
YES, SIR. HELLO, MOBILE ONE.
I STILL THINK WE
SHOULD HAVE FLOWN.
BY THE TIME WE MADE IT TO THE AIRPORT,
GOT A PLANE, FLEW DOWN, RENTED A CAR,
HOWIE WOULD HAVE FOUND YOUR
ROSE AND HAVE BEEN LONG GONE.
- IS HE THAT GOOD A TRACKER?
- WELL, I TAUGHT HIM.
LIEUTENANT COMMANDER COLLINS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU. NUMBER'S FOUR
YEARS OLD, DISCONNECTED.
I TOLD YOU. I GOT THE ADDRESS.
LET'S GO THERE. YES, SIR.
IT WAS FOR JUNE.
EVERYTHING I DID WAS FOR HER.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE STAYING HOME AND
BEING A FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH.
ROSE AND I WERE DIVORCED WHEN SHE WAS
VERY YOUNG. WE FOUND HER A DECENT HOME.
WHEN SHE WAS OLD ENOUGH, SHE
WENT TO A FIRST-CLASS FINISHING SCHOOL.
WELL, THAT'S EXPENSIVE.
WHO FOOTED THE BILL?
ROSE DID.
HOW COULD YOU HAVE
LOST TRACK OF HER?
SHE SET UP SOME KIND OF TRUST.
MONEY WAS SENT TO JUNE EVERY MONTH.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ROSE
MYSELF IN OVER FOUR YEARS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE DIDN'T
TAKE OFF WITH THE FIVE MILLION?
ROSE? YEAH.
NEVER. SHE'S NOT THAT KIND.
SO JUNE NEVER LIVED
WITH HER MOTHER?
- NOT IN THE KIND
OF HOUSE ROSE RAN.
- HOUSE?
YOU MEAN THAT KIND OF HOUSE?
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?
- I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS IMPORTANT.
- ALL INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT.
- WELL, LET'S FACE IT. THIS IS HOPELESS.
- THEY'VE GOT TOO BIG A LEAD.
- WE'LL TAKE A SHORTCUT
THROUGH VICE AND CORRUPTION.
SO WHY CALL ME? BIG
JACK, BRACE YOURSELF.
HOWIE REALLY HAS SKIPPED...
AND SO HAS JOE EDWARDS.
NOW, THAT MEANS A BUNDLE OF YOUR
CASH AND MY TRUCK ARE ON THE LINE.
NOW, I NEED L.A. VICE TO FIND OUT
SOMETHING FROM SAN DIEGO VICE.
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP. HOW?
- I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT VICE.
- YOUR FRIEND QUAID DOES.
I WOULDN'T ASK HIM FOR A FAVOR
IF MY LIFE DEPENDED UPON IT.
LOOK, IT'S NOT YOUR
LIFE. IT'S YOUR MONEY.
ALL RIGHT, COLT.
WHERE CAN I REACH YOU?
THERE IT IS. ACCORDING TO THE DIVORCE
RECORDS, THAT'S ROSE'S LAST KNOWN ADDRESS.
I TOLD YOU I'D DIG HER OUT.
THE QUESTION IS, DO THEY
KNOW WHERE SHE'S GONE?
WELL, LET'S FIND OUT. UH, IT'S
BEST WE KEEP A LOW PROFILE.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT? RIGHT.
HERE'S SOME MONEY. MIGHT
HELP YOU GET THE INFORMATION.
I GOT IT HANDLED.
WHY DON'T WE PULL UP A
LITTLE WAYS? WHY BE OBVIOUS?
YOU WERE WONDERFUL.
SO WERE YOU.
UH, I HAVE SOMETHING
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU.
I'VE GOT THE ANSWER.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
UH, WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYPLACE QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
YEAH, I SPOTTED THAT RIGHT AWAY.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
UH, IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS
SINCE... OH. SAY NO MORE.
LET'S TALK, UH, BUSINESS.
BUSINESS? YEAH.
OH. HEY.
IF YOU COME THROUGH, THEN THERE'S
GONNA BE 20 BUCKS IN IT FOR YA.
WOW. REAL BIG SPENDER.
MAKE IT A HUNDRED AND I'LL GIVE
YOU MORE THAN YOU EVER EXPECTED.
A HUNDRED? HOW? YOU
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT.
TRUST ME.
A HUNDRED.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL GO UP TO
40 BUCKS, BUT THAT'S IT.
GOOD-BYE. UH, CLOSE
THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.
HEY, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
SIXTY-SIX BUCKS.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
OKAY, COME ON.
YOU'RE KIND OF CUTE.
CAN'T WE STAY HERE?
IT REALLY HAS BEEN
FIVE YEARS, HASN'T IT?
SO THIS WAS ROSE'S.
DOES JUNE KNOW?
I GAVE HER THE PHONE
NUMBER. I THOUGHT YOU
DIDN'T WANT HER TO KNOW
WHO HER MOTHER WAS.
SHE DIDN'T. I GAVE HER
THE PHONE NUMBER IN
CASE SHE GOT IN TROUBLE,
COULDN'T REACH ME.
THAT'S GREAT. THEN
THE NAVY FELLA KNOWS.
STAY HERE. THIS
SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG.
WHO'S THAT? THAT'S
A BUSY LITTLE HOUSE.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
OR IS THAT A SILLY
QUESTION? UH, JUST BROWSING.
WHAT FOR? A FRIEND.
YOU FOUND ONE,
LUCKY. COME ON IN.
THIS IS, UH, NICE.
REAL NICE. THANK YOU.
NO, NO. WAIT A MINUTE. HEY,
YOU'VE GOT ME ALL WRONG.
- DO ANYTHING FOR
YOUR COUNTRY, HUH, KID?
- WELL, SURE I WOULD.
OH, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I WAS
LOOKING FOR ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
UH, WAS SHE IN THE BEDROOM?
ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE A
VISIT WITH MISS BUTTERWORTH.
I KEEP TELLING YOU,
SHE'S NOT THERE.
JUNE!
DAD.
- COLLINS! FORGET THE GIRL. GET AFTER HIM.
- WHAT'S GOING ON, COLT?
ALL RIGHT. GET HIM. INTO THE
CAR. LOOKS LIKE A CONVENTION.
LET'S GO, KID. - WELL!
MOVE IT!
STAY WITH HER.
AH, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
EXCEPT I GOT FIVE YEARS AND A DISHONORABLE
DISCHARGE AND YOU'RE A COMMANDER.
- WHAT ABOUT YOU, BATES,
MAKE ADMIRAL?
- I RESIGNED.
I OWN A SECURITY SYSTEM COMPANY.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF
CROOKED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY.
- TRUST THIS GUY?
- OH, DAWSON. ABSOLUTELY.
HE'S BEEN WITH ME
FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
WE'VE SHARED A LOT TOGETHER...
AND SOON, FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
- HE'S NOT GETTING
ANY OF MY SHARE.
- OR MINE.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH.
OH, WE ALL HAVE...
ESPECIALLY POOR JOE HERE.
HE'S A BULLDOG, SIR.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION,
I'D LIKE TO TRY SOME
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES.
WHATEVER IT TAKES, DAWSON. THEN WE CAN
ALL GET DOWN TO SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO!
- THIS WAS MY MOTHER'S?
- SHE WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT.
IT'S BEEN IN YOUR FAMILY
FOR OVER 200 YEARS.
ROSE ALWAYS LIKED OLD THINGS.
WAS SHE REALLY A MADAM?
LOOK, KID, UH, YOU'RE GOING
ABOUT THIS, UH, ALL THE WRONG WAY.
- WAS SHE?
- JUNE, COLT'S RIGHT.
LET HER ANSWER.
WELL, SHE... RAN THE PLACE.
I WONDER IF WE'LL EVER FIND
OUT WHAT SHE DID WITH THE MONEY.
MAYBE SHE TOOK HER SECRET
WITH HER TO THE GRAVE.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.
- WHAT IS THIS?
- A CLAIM CHECK... SORT OF.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
YOUR MOTHER.
SO, MY ROOTS SEARCH
IS OVER... LIKE THIS.
ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?
TAKE CARE OF HER, WILL YOU, KID?
- I'LL MEET YOU
BACK AT THE HOUSE.
- WHAT HOUSE?
HOW MANY HOUSES DO YOU KNOW?
UH, NO, NO, NO. GO THE
BACK WAY. IT'LL BE SAFER.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. ARE
YOU SURE HER ASHES ARE IN HERE?
OF COURSE. YOU SAW THEM GO IN?
WELL, NO, BUT, WELL, WHY ELSE
WOULD ANYONE GO TO THE TROUBLE?
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?
ME. NOW CAN I GO?
I HAVE WORK TO DO,
AND TIME IS MONEY.
I'LL TAKE THAT.
THIS?
THAT. HERE.
- WHERE'D YOU LEARN
TO HIT LIKE THAT?
- I'M A BROWN BELT.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOU'RE READY FOR BLACK.
- WELL, THANK YOU.
YOU THINK THE KEY IS IN
HERE? WELL, LET'S FIND OUT.
NOT ME. IT'S
AGAINST MY RELIGION.
LOOK, I'M NOT GONNA
DO IT. GIVE IT TO HIM.
WELL, COME ON. COME ON.
SOMEONE HAS TO. GIVE IT TO ME.
- YOU WOULDN'T DESECRATE
A GRAVE?
- GRAVE? WHOSE? NOT ROSE'S.
WELL, THEN WHO IS IN THERE?
ALL I KNOW IS ROSE
WAS CREMATED AND I
POURED HER ASHES OVER
THE OCEAN FROM A BOAT.
- YOU'RE POSITIVE?
- I OUGHT TO BE.
THE SEA WAS SO ROUGH
I WAS SICK FOR DAYS.
WOULD YOU JUST
GIVE IT TO ME, PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
MR. EDWARDS, TELL ME SOMETHING
BEFORE THEY COME OUT OF THE MAUSOLEUM.
IS THE ANSWER IN
THERE? I DON'T KNOW.
YOU REALIZE YOU'RE
IN A NO-WIN SITUATION?
IF THEY FIND THE MONEY,
THEY HAVE TO GET RID OF YOU.
IF THEY DON'T FIND THE MONEY, THEY'LL
KILL YOU TRYING TO MAKE YOU TALK.
I'M YOUR ONLY WAY OUT. YOU?
I'M WITH NAVAL
INTELLIGENCE. SO IS COLLINS.
THEY PUT ME UNDERCOVER
WITH HIM TWO YEARS AGO.
THE NAVY WANTS THAT MONEY
BACK. I'M AUTHORIZED TO MAKE A DEAL.
HOW DO WE GET AWAY FROM
COLLINS AND THE OTHERS?
I DRIVE US AWAY. THE
NAVY PICKS THEM UP.
AND JUNE? SHE'LL
BE FINE. I PROMISE.
OKAY.
WE'VE GOT A DEAL.
ROSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE
OF THE MONEY TILL I GOT OUT OF PRISON.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
SHE DID WITH IT,
BUT I FIGURE THE BEST PLACE
TO START IS BACK AT THE HOUSE.
DEAL?
DEAL.
ARE THESE ASHES HUMAN?
- NO. IT'S PAPER.
- WHERE'S THE RECORD ROOM?
UH, DOWNSTAIRS, THE VAULT.
I WANT TO SEE ROSE
BUTTERWORTH'S. HERE.
THIS URN WAS PUT HERE FOR
SAFEKEEPING BEFORE SHE DIED.
NOW HOW COME YOU
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT?
NO REASON TO. IT
WASN'T A BURIAL.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S
GO. THAT'S JUST US.
OH, UH, Y-YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
THE DOOR DOESN'T
OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.
NOBODY WILL EVER
KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE.
IS IT TRUE? NO WAY
OUT? NONE. NONE.
- YOU SMOKE?
- UH, NO. I GAVE 'EM UP.
YOU DON'T WANT A CIGARETTE?
NO, YOU GOT A MATCH?
YEAH. LET ME HAVE IT.
ALWAYS A WATER GAG.
OKAY, WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.
ROSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE
OF THE MONEY TILL I GOT OUT OF PRISON.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE
DID WITH IT, BUT I FIGURE
THE BEST PLACE TO START
IS BACK AT THE HOUSE.
- ALL RIGHT. TURN IT OFF.
- YOU DOUBLE-CROSSING PUNK.
I CALL IT LOYALTY.
LET'S GO. COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
DAWSON, IF ANY OF THE GIRLS GET
SQUEAMISH, MAKE 'EM COMFORTABLE.
DAD.
- COME ON. GET HER OUT OF HERE.
- COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, JOE.
IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH,
TWO OUTS, TWO
STRIKES, THE LAST PITCH.
WHERE'S THE MONEY?
THAT'S JUST... THAT'S
JUST LIKE MY ROSE.
SHE'S ALWAYS... ALWAYS DOING
THE UNEXPECTED, YOU KNOW?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE
SHE HID THE MONEY.
SO, THIS URN MEANS NOTHING
TO YOU, HUH? NOT A DAMN THING.
YOU TOLD DAWSON
THE MONEY WAS HERE.
OH, COME ON, COLLINS. I
WAS IN INTELLIGENCE TOO.
YOU THINK I'D LET A YOUNG
PUNK LIKE THAT FOOL ME?
DAWSON, GET JUNE OUT HERE.
- YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS.
- OH, NO, NO, NO, JOE.
UH-UH. YOU WANT TO OPEN A
DOOR, YOU DON'T FORGET THE KEYS.
ALL OF THESE ANTIQUES ARE REAL.
DAWSON, YOU HEARD THE
COMMANDER. BRING HER IN HERE.
NO!
HEY.
DON'T USE THIS. WHY NOT?
I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
WAIT. RIGHT.
I'M ON YOUR SIDE. WHA...
- WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME EARLIER?
- I REALLY AM NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
SORRY, ORDERS. COME ON.
NOT ONE PIECE BROKEN.
KID, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I FOUND THE MONEY.
YEAH, WELL, WHERE IS IT?
YOU'RE STANDING ON IT. A
FIFTH-CENTURY PERSIAN RUG,
WORTH ABOUT $80,000.
NOW YOU'RE SITTING ON IT. WHAT?
THAT'S AN ORIGINAL LOUIS
XIV COUCH... ABOUT $200,000.
SHE PUT ALL HER MONEY
INTO ANTIQUES? YEAH.
I FIGURED IT OUT
WHEN I SAW THIS VASE.
IT'S AN ORIGINAL MING, WORTH
ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
OH!
AND THEN THE TWO NAVAL
INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS,
ALLEN AND BATES, WERE WAITING
FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THE JAIL.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE PHONY
OFFICERS? NO. ONLY BATES WAS PHONY.
ALTHOUGH FROM THE BEGINNING, IT
SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE BOTH REAL.
WELL, HOW COULD YOU TELL
THAT ONE OF THEM WAS A FAKE?
HE SWITCHED SIDES IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT.
COLT AND I WERE BOTH
SURPRISED. OH, I'LL BET.
THEN THE TWO IN UNIFORM THAT
PICKED UP JUNE WERE BOTH BAD? RIGHT.
COLLINS MASTERMINDED
THE WHOLE THING.
AND THIS GUY, DAWSON, TOLD JUNE'S
FATHER THAT HE WAS WORKING UNDERCOVER...
SO JUNE'S FATHER WOULD TELL
HIM WHERE THE MONEY WAS HIDDEN,
BUT HE REALLY WASN'T
WORKING UNDERCOVER.
HE WAS PHONY TOO. UH, HOWIE,
THIS IS GETTING REALLY CONFUSING.
WELL, NO, IT ISN'T. I
DON'T KNOW, HOWIE.
I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD IT ALL
TILL YOU STARTED EXPLAINING IT.
ONE MORE TIME FROM
THE TOP. YOU SEE...
HI, BABE. DAD.
NOW, THAT'S THE REAL ONE? RIGHT.
UH, CAPTAIN ALLEN, THIS IS
JODY BANKS. HI. HOW ARE YOU?
IT'S ALMOST OVER,
SWEETHEART. THAT'S RIGHT, JUNE.
HE'LL BE COMPLETELY
FREE AS SOON AS HE ISSUES
A FORMAL STATEMENT
TO NAVY INTELLIGENCE.
WHICH WE SHOULD BE DOING ABOUT
NOW, JOE. OH, CAN I GO WITH YOU?
BABE, FROM NOW ON, YOU
CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH ME.
AND THANKS TO YOU TWO, UH, IT LOOKS
LIKE WE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A FAMILY AGAIN.
JOE, COME ON.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN
SOMETIME. HEY, ANYTIME. JUST CALL.
I'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO
SOME MOVIE STARS. OKAY.
THAT'S NICE.
SEEING THEM TOGETHER MAKES
IT ALL WORTHWHILE, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH. WELL, THAT'S WHAT
BEING A FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT, KIDS.

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.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, BUT I
JUST SAW IT. A KILLER GHOST.
HOLD IT! FREEZE!
JODY, TAKE HER PLACE!
GO, JODY.
- THAT CUE WAS TOO EARLY.
- ALL RIGHT. HOLD IT!
HOLD IT! CUT IT!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU
TRYING TO DO? I'M SORRY.
THE SPECIAL EFFECTS
MAN MISSED HIS CUE.
THERE IS NO CUE WHILE I'M
ON CAMERA. WE DON'T RISK ME.
YOU WAIT UNTIL THERE'S
A STUNTMAN UP THERE.
I PROMISE YOU, IT
WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT! ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT
FOR TODAY, EVERYBODY! THAT'S IT.
AND YOU REMEMBER ONE THING,
THERE ARE A LOT OF STUNTMEN AROUND,
BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE JAN MURRAY.
BOY, A GUY CAN GET
KILLED AROUND HERE.
- ALL RIGHT, FOLKS. THAT'S A WRAP.
- YOU, NOT ME.
YOU MEAN WE HAVE TO
DO THIS AGAIN TOMORROW?
WELL, JODY, ON
YOU IT LOOKS GOOD.
COLT, HOW 'BOUT IF I TAKE
YOUR PLACE TOMORROW?
I CAN HIT THE MARK. THERE
WON'T BE ANY PROBLEM.
I CAN SEE IN THE DARK
LIKE A CAT. IT'S A BAT.
AND, KID, EVERY STUNT
HAS A PROBLEM. HERE, JODY.
COME ON. LET'S GO TO WARDROBE.
HI, COLT. HI, HERVÉ.
HEY, WHEN YOU GONNA SHRINK
ENOUGH TO DO MY STUNTS?
WELL, YOU GOT ONE
OF THE BEST THERE IS.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S KIND OF
EMBARRASSING FOR THE LITTLE GUY...
TO BE CALLED TO DO ALL
THE DANGEROUS STUFF.
YOU KNOW WHAT? MY DOUBLE IS
GONNA JUMP OUT OF AN AIRPLANE.
YEAH, WELL, TREAT HIM NICE.
LET HIM WEAR A PARACHUTE.
DON'T WORRY. BYE.
CATCH YOU LATER.
HELLO, JOE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
WELL, IT WAS IMPORTANT TO ME
TO MAKE SURE AN OLD FRIEND...
WASN'T ALL ALONE
ON A MOMENTOUS DAY.
COME ON, I'LL GIVE YOU
A RIDE BACK TO TOWN.
I DON'T WANT
ANYTHING FROM YOU. OH.
WELL, I DO FROM YOU.
NOW, WHY DON'T YOU DRIVE? I KNOW IT'S
BEEN FIVE YEARS AND YOU'RE PROBABLY RUSTY,
BUT DON'T WORRY,
I'LL BE WATCHING YOU.
AH-AH. HEY.
MAKE THAT MILK AND COOKIES.
WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM, A
KID? NO, YOU'RE IN TRAINING...
JUST LIKE A PILOT 10
HOURS BEFORE FLIGHT.
YOUR NERVES HAVE TO BE STEADY,
YOUR EYES CLEAR AND YOUR HEART PURE.
BEAUTIFUL DROP
VOLLEY FOR A WINNER.
YOU MEAN I GET TO DO
THAT GAG TOMORROW?
- YEAH.
- GREAT!
HEY, WHERE'RE YOU
GOING? I'M GOING OUT...
TO DO EVERYTHING I
TOLD YOU NOT TO DO.
GREAT PASSING
SHOT DOWN THE LINE.
THIS IS BAD FOR YOU. NO, NO.
YEAH! LAVER TO SERVE
FOR THE FIRST GAME.
I KNOW WHAT YOU
WANT. YOU CAN FORGET IT.
COME ON. I'M NOT GONNA
BE UNREASONABLE, JOE.
ALL I WANT IS 50%.
WE SPLIT THE FIVE MILLION. WE'RE
GONE BEFORE THE OTHERS KNOW ABOUT IT.
WISE UP, JOE. THE ONLY TIME YOU
DON'T SHARE IS WHEN YOU'RE DEAD.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!
HEY, OFFICER. LOOK,
THAT GUY, HE'S GOT A...
OH, THE HELL WITH IT.
OKAY. COME ON, WISE
GUY, INTO THE CAR.
GET IN THERE.
♪♪
EXCELLENT FOREHAND RIGHT
ON THE LINE FOR A WINNER.
THAT MAKES THE SCORE
30-LOVE. WELL, WELL.
THIRTY-LOVE. WELL,
AIN'T THAT SWEET.
HEY. HEY, KNOCK
IT OFF. I LIKE TENNIS.
OH, REALLY, SWEETHEART?
WELL, I BET YOU DO.
HEY. HEY. YOU CAN'T
HIT ME. I'M A STUNTMAN.
IT'S LIKE TRYING
TO HIT A SHADOW.
I WONDER WHAT TENNIS
MATCH HE WAS WATCHING.
DADDY.
HI, BABE. I CAME AS
SOON AS YOU CALLED.
YOU STILL MY GIRL?
YOU BET I AM. IT'S
BEEN A LONG TIME.
HOW ARE THINGS GOING? WONDERFUL.
MY ACTING COACH SAYS I'M GETTING BETTER
EVERY DAY. HE THINKS I HAVE STAR QUALITY.
I TOLD YOU THAT A LONG TIME AGO.
UH, YOU HAVE ANY LUCK
GETTING COLLATERAL FOR MY BAIL?
NO. I'M SORRY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
UH... HEY, UH, I'M IN
SHOW BUSINESS TOO.
REALLY? YEAH.
HOWIE MUNSON. JUNE EDWARDS.
I SPEND ALL MY TIME OUT AT THE
STUDIOS. OH, REALLY? HOW LUCKY.
DO YOU KNOW BARBRA STREISAND?
KNOW HER? I WAS HER.
YOU KNOW, THE HARDEST PART WAS
FINDING A PAIR OF SIZE 13 HIGH-HEEL PUMPS.
I SEE.
HE'S BEEN NICE TO ME. HE WORKS PART-TIME
FOR A BAIL BOND COMPANY AS A TRACKER.
HE SAYS HE CAN FIND THE INVISIBLE MAN
AND FOLLOW TARZAN FROM VINE TO VINE.
WHEN I CALLED ABOUT MY OWN BAIL,
I TOLD BIG JACK ABOUT YOUR FATHER.
DOES HE WEAR HIGH HEELS TOO?
WELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT SHE...
OH. OH, NO. YOU... YOU'VE
GOT ME ALL WRONG.
I'M A STUNTMAN. I HAVE TO LOOK LIKE
THE PERSON I'M DOING THE STUNT FOR.
OH, REALLY? AND JUST WHO
ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE NOW?
BOY, AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU. I
WISH THE FEELING WERE MUTUAL.
A BARROOM BRAWL? HOWIE, YOU
SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF.
- HEY, I'M INNOCENT.
- OH, REALLY? THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY.
SO HOW COME IT TOOK
YOU ALL NIGHT TO GET HERE?
BECAUSE I ASKED MY
SERVICE TO HOLD ALL MY CALLS.
ANYWAY, YOU SHOULD
HAVE CALLED COLT. I DID.
HE DIDN'T ANSWER.
OH, BY THE WAY,
THIS IS JOE EDWARDS,
THE GUY I TOLD YOU ABOUT.
ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE
HIM WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
HOWIE, I DON'T NEED
APPRECIATION, I NEED COLLATERAL.
- MY FATHER'S HONEST.
- OH, REALLY? THEN
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
I'M SORRY, I DON'T
REALLY MEAN TO BE RUDE.
IT'S... IT'S JUST THAT I GOT
CALLED OUT OF A NICE WARM BED.
I'M SORRY WE WOKE YOU UP.
I WASN'T SLEEPING.
MISS JACK. MISS JACK,
PLEASE, I NEED YOUR HELP.
WILL YOU HELP US?
BOY, YOU OUGHT TO FEEL REAL PROUD.
JUNE SEEMS LIKE A WONDERFUL GIRL.
THANKS.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAD
VERY LITTLE TO DO WITH IT.
WELL, THEN HER MOTHER
MUST HAVE BEEN...
NO. SH-SHE MISSED OUT ON THAT TOO.
SHE WAS BROUGHT UP IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
- JOE EDWARDS.
- YEAH.
YOUR BAIL'S BEEN
PUT UP. YOU CAN GO.
HOWIE, I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
I DON'T BELIEVE
SHE DID IT. WHY NOT?
WELL, BIG JACK'S A REALIST
WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE.
UH, NO "TICKEE," NO LAUNDRY.
NO COLLATERAL, NO BAIL.
YOU SURE SOMEBODY
ELSE DIDN'T DO IT?
- WHO PUT UP MY BAIL?
- STEVEN BATES.
I HAVE THE RIGHT TO
TURN IT DOWN, DON'T I?
- YOU CAN DO ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO DO.
- I'M STAYING.
OKAY.
UH...
HOWIE, UH, I-I'VE BEEN
IN JAIL FIVE YEARS.
I THINK I CAN TRUST YOU.
WHAT THE HELL AM I
SAYING? I HAVE TO TRUST YOU.
MY LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. MY
DAUGHTER'S FUTURE. WILL YOU HELP ME?
WELL, OF COURSE
I WILL, IF I CAN.
LOOK, I GOTTA GET OUT
OF HERE ON MY OWN.
I-I... I DON'T HAVE COLLATERAL,
BUT I HAVE THE CASH.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU SEND JUNE TO
GET IT? NO. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THEY KNOW HER. I HAVE
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS IN CASH,
AND THESE MEN WILL DO
ANYTHING TO GET THEIR HANDS ON IT.
LOOK, I'LL GIVE YOU A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS IN CASH...
IF YOU'LL GO TO SAN
DIEGO AND GET MY BAIL.
A HUNDRED THOUSAND?
A HUNDRED THOUSAND.
HOWARD MUNSON.
YOU CAN GO.
HOWIE...
GO TO SAN DIEGO, FIND
ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
SHE'LL GIVE YOU THE BAIL. ROSE
BUTTERWORTH. WH-WHAT'S HER ADDRESS?
I-I'M NOT SURE. SHE
MOVES AROUND A LOT.
BUT WITH YOUR
EXPERIENCE, YOU'LL FIND HER.
PLEASE, IF NOT FOR ME,
WILL YOU DO IT FOR JUNE?
I... I DON'T WANT TO SEE HER
HURT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF ME.
PLEASE. YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE THAT
CAN HELP. OKAY, OKAY. I'LL HANDLE IT.
BUT I'VE GOT AN IMPORTANT
STUNT TO DO FIRST.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU, IF YOU COULD
SPARE A MINUTE. WELL, WHAT ABOUT?
I'D RATHER DO IT AWAY FROM HERE.
I'M STEVEN BATES.
THIS IS ABEL ALLEN.
- YOU'RE THE GUY WHO TRIED
TO BAIL OUT JOE.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
AND A LITTLE BIT OF A PARADOX. I PUT
HIM INTO PRISON IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HE WAS PART OF A GANG THAT STOLE A
FIVE MILLION DOLLAR NAVY PAYROLL IN HAWAII.
WE'RE WITH NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
WHY ALL THE ROUGH
STUFF WITH THE GUNS?
EXPEDIENCE. WE HAD TO GET
YOU AWAY FROM THE JAIL QUICKLY.
YOU SEE, THERE ARE MEMBERS OF
HIS OLD GANG STILL LOOKING FOR HIM.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS
ALL ABOUT AND I DON'T REALLY CARE.
AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED,
I'M READY TO FORGET...
THAT I EVER MET JOE EDWARDS
OR EITHER OF YOU GUYS.
WE WERE HOPING YOU WOULD
TELL US WHAT EDWARDS TOLD YOU.
- HE ASKED ME
TO GET BAIL FOR HIM.
- WHERE?
- SAN DIEGO.
- FROM WHOM?
A WOMAN NAMED ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
MR. MUNSON, YOU HAVE TO HELP
US LOCATE THIS ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
YOU KNOW WHAT I KNOW. SHE'S IN
SAN DIEGO. GO FIND HER YOURSELF.
NO GOOD. LET'S SAY WE DO
FIND HER. SHE'LL BE SUSPICIOUS.
SHE'LL ASK US QUESTIONS ABOUT EDWARDS
NEITHER OF US COULD POSSIBLY ANSWER.
WHEN HE GOT OUT OF PRISON, I TRIED
TO CONVINCE HIM I WAS A CROOK TOO,
THAT WE'D SPLIT THE MONEY, SO HE
COULD LEAD US TO IT, BUT HE WAS TOO SMART.
SHE MIGHT BE THE MISSING
LINK WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.
AND IF JOE TRUSTS YOU, MORE
THAN LIKELY THE WOMAN WILL TOO.
WELL, I STILL DON'T KNOW
WHY HE TRUSTED ME.
HE HAD TO. RAN OUT OF OPTIONS.
WELL, SHE ONLY HAS TO
GIVE ME THE BAIL MONEY.
WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO
WITH YOUR FIVE MILLION BUCKS?
EDWARDS STASHED THE
MONEY WITH SOMEONE.
WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
THAT SOMEONE FOR FIVE YEARS.
YOU MAY HAVE JUST GIVEN US
THE LEAD WE'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR.
IF SHE'S IT, SHE COULD LEAD YOU
TO ALL THE MONEY TO GET SOME OF IT.
I'D LIKE TO HELP YOU GUYS...
- IT'S YOUR DUTY.
- I'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.
- WE'LL CLEAR IT.
- NAH, IT'S TOO IMPORTANT.
MORE THAN YOUR PATRIOTISM?
HE STILL HASN'T SHOWN UP?
NO, AND I'M GETTING
REALLY WORRIED.
HE WOULDN'T JUST DISAPPEAR.
NO, HE WOULD'VE PHONED
OR LEFT A MESSAGE.
YOU DON'T SUPPOSE SOMETHING
HAPPENED TO HIM, DO YOU?
OH, I DON'T KNOW. AFTER
THIS FALL, I'LL FIND OUT.
READY, COLT?
YEAH. LET'S DO IT. COME ON, KID.
QUIET ON THE SET. WE'RE
ROLLING. SCENE 201. TAKE 14.
MARKER.
ALL RIGHT. ACTION.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT,
BUT I JUST SAW IT.
A KILLER GHOST.
ALL RIGHT, HOLD IT.
FREEZE. JODY, STEP IN.
BE READY, COLT.
OUT, HONEY. OUT.
GO, JODY.
- COLT, YOU'RE ON.
- PLEASE, YOU'VE
GOTTA HELP ME.
IN A MINUTE. IN A MINUTE.
EVERY SECOND COUNTS.
JUST A MINUTE. CUT. CUT.
HOW MANY TIMES CAN
I DO THE SAME SCENE?
COLT, WHAT'S GOIN' ON? LOOK,
I'M SORRY. IT WAS, UH, MY FAULT.
LOOK, I CAN HAVE JODY DRIED UP
AND WE CAN TRY IT AGAIN IN 20 MINUTES.
YEAH. WELL, ALL RIGHT.
WE'LL TRY IT AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON.
NEXT SETUP. ALL
RIGHT. NEW SETUP.
I'VE REALLY DONE IT
THIS TIME, HAVEN'T I?
BEFORE YOU DO IT AGAIN,
WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
WELL, MY FATHER'S BEEN ACCUSED
OF BEATING UP A POLICE OFFICER.
- WHAT'S THAT GOT TO DO WITH ME?
- WELL, WE MET YOUR FRIEND
HOWIE IN JAIL.
- JAIL? HOWIE? HOWIE'S IN JAIL?
- HE BEAT UP A BUNCH
OF TRUCK DRIVERS.
COLT. TELEPHONE.
UH... TRUCK DRIVERS?
COLT SEAVERS.
HI. IT'S ME. HOWIE.
HOWIE. WHAT... WHAT MADE YOU
BEAT UP A BUNCH OF TRUCK DRIVERS?
IT WASN'T A BUNCH.
IT WAS ONLY THREE.
- WHY'D YOU BEAT UP
THREE TRUCK DRIVERS?
- I DIDN'T. THEY KNOCKED ME OUT.
WELL, WHERE ARE YOU?
I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT.
HOWIE, YOU LISTEN TO ME...
COLT, THE ONLY REASON
I GOT TO CALL YOU...
WAS BECAUSE I TOLD THEM YOU
WERE AS PATRIOTIC AS ANYBODY.
- TOLD WHO?
- I CAN'T TELL YOU THAT
EITHER.
LOOK, WHERE ARE YOU?
I'M COMING TO GET YOU.
NO, YOU CAN'T.
- WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO SAN DIEGO.
- WHAT ABOUT THE GAG? THERE'S STILL TIME.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO FILL IN FOR ME.
LOOK, IT'S IMPORTANT
TO YOUR CAREER.
- COLT, THERE ARE THINGS THAT
ARE MORE IMPORTANT IN LIFE.
- LIKE WHAT?
OUR COUNTRY.
HOW... HOWIE.
NOW, LET'S START AT THE
BEGINNING. HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
UH... BIG JACK. AFTER
SHE BAILED OUT HOWIE,
SHE TOLD ME YOU COULD
HELP ME GET MY FATHER OUT.
- WHY IS HOWIE GOING
TO SAN DIEGO?
- I DON'T KNOW.
YOU'RE COMING WITH
ME. WHERE ARE WE GOING?
TO JAIL.
TWO BRUTES OVER
ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
BUT, DADDY, I KNOW
YOU CAN TRUST HIM.
THE LESS BOTH OF
YOU KNOW, THE BETTER.
LOOK, AT LEAST TELL ME WHY YOU
SENT HOWIE DOWN TO SAN DIEGO.
- HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
- HE TOLD ME ON THE PHONE.
WHAT ELSE DID HE TELL YOU? HE
SOUNDED LIKE HE WAS GOING OFF TO WAR.
HE SAID HE HAD A COUPLE
OF MORE MEN WITH HIM.
THEN THEY CAUGHT UP WITH
HIM. WHO CAUGHT UP WITH HIM?
SOME OF MY OLD NAVY FRIENDS.
LOOK, DOES THIS PUT HOWIE
INTO SOME KIND OF DANGER?
WAIT. I'M WARNING YOU. IF
ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THAT KID,
BELIEVE ME, YOU BETTER
PRAY YOU NEVER GET
OUT OF HERE, BECAUSE
I'LL BE WAITING ON YOU.
DON'T YOU DARE TALK TO MY
FATHER THAT WAY. HE'S A GOOD MAN.
WELL, GOOD MEN DON'T
RISK OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, JUNE. HE'S
RIGHT. LOOK, WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.
- WHAT KIND OF DEAL?
- YOU GET ME OUT OF HERE, AND
WE'LL HANDLE THIS TOGETHER.
I SWEAR TO YOU,
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
BYE, BABY.
- USE MY TRUCK AS COLLATERAL.
- YOU'RE JOKING.
YEAH, A LAUGH A MINUTE.
LOOK, I GOT A JOB TO FINISH.
YOU TELL YOUR FATHER TO WAIT
FOR ME AT THE JAIL. HE'LL BE THERE.
WHAT IF HE SKIPS?
THEN I'LL BRING HIM BACK.
FREE? IT'S MY TRUCK.
AND MY MONEY.
CUT. PRINT IT. BEAUTIFUL.
COLT, I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU DOING THIS STUNT FOR ME.
IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NO, THAT'S WHAT I'M
TRYING TO TELL YOU.
I MEAN, YOU DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH IT MEANS FOR ME.
JODY, DON'T BE GRATEFUL
NOW. OKAY? WHY NOT?
'CAUSE I HATE WATER...
EVEN AS A CHASER.
JOE. YOU LOOK A LITTLE NERVOUS.
IF YOU MET COLLINS,
YOU WOULD BE TOO.
YEAH? WHO IS HE?
A NAVY COMMANDER.
THE DEADLIEST OF THE
BUNCH. WHAT DOES HE WANT?
THE FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS I STOLE.
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE IT BACK? I
WISH I COULD, BUT ROSE HAS IT.
SHE'S IN SAN DIEGO? SOMEWHERE.
WHERE'S JUNE? UH, SHE
WENT TO THE LADIES' ROOM.
ALONE?
HEY.
EXCUSE ME. HAVE YOU SEEN
A BLONDE GIRL, ABOUT 18,
GREEN SWEATER, PALE YELLOW
PANTS? YEAH, SHE JUST LEFT.
WHICH WAY DID SHE GO?
THAT WAY WITH A NAVY OFFICER.
OH, MY GOD.
HEY, YOU, WAIT. HEY.
MOVE IT!
WHOA!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? YEAH.
THEY GOT JUNE. SHE'S
IN TERRIBLE DANGER.
AND SO IS HOWIE.
WHERE TO, SIR?
TO FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
THERE IT IS, FOLKS. CATCH THIS.
ROSE BUTTERWORTH, MARRIED
20 YEARS AGO, AND GUESS WHO TO?
RIGHT THE FIRST
TIME. JOE EDWARDS.
- WHAT ELSE?
- WELL, THAT'S IT.
- THAT'S IT?
- IT LEAVES US NOWHERE.
HEY, THERE YOU
GO AGAIN. NEGATIVE.
NOW, WHERE THE HELL
IS ROSE BUTTERWORTH?
WHAT NOW?
WELL, I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT WHAT COLT WOULD DO NEXT.
HE'S THE BEST, YOU KNOW. HE'S THE ONE
WHO TAUGHT ME ABOUT TRACKING PEOPLE.
DO YOU THINK THIS GUY
IS STALLING? I DON'T KNOW.
WELL, MAYBE HE'S SMARTER THAN
HE ACTS. THAT WOULDN'T BE HARD.
WE... HEY. I GOT IT.
JOE EDWARDS WENT TO PRISON
FIVE YEARS AGO, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
WELL, HE KNEW THAT ROSE LIVED
IN SAN DIEGO, RIGHT? MM-HMM.
HE GAVE ME HER MAIDEN NAME,
WHICH MEANS THAT SHE WASN'T...
LIVING DOWN HERE
UNDER HER MARRIED NAME.
SO?
SO, THE DIVORCE RECORDS
ARE DOWN THE HALL.
BUT I KEEP TELLING YOU, I
DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING.
HMM. YOU'LL REMEMBER.
I FOUND SOMETHING BETTER THAN SODIUM
PENTOTHAL FOR JOGGING THE MEMORY.
- WHAT'S THAT, SIR?
- FEAR.
WELL, I'D FEEL TERRIFIED TOO
IF I WERE FACING WHAT YOU ARE.
I'D TELL HIM WHATEVER
YOU KNOW, MISS.
ALL MY DADDY EVER TOLD ME WAS THAT
IF I WAS EVER IN ANY SERIOUS TROUBLE,
I SHOULD CALL ROSE
BUTTERWORTH IN SAN DIEGO.
ROSE BUTTERWORTH?
AND DID YOU CALL HER?
ONCE, A LONG TIME AGO, BUT
THE NUMBER WAS DISCONNECTED.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE NUMBER?
YES, I HAD TO MEMORIZE IT.
UH, 555-1001.
DAWSON, CHECK IT
THROUGH INTELLIGENCE.
YES, SIR. HELLO, MOBILE ONE.
I STILL THINK WE
SHOULD HAVE FLOWN.
BY THE TIME WE MADE IT TO THE AIRPORT,
GOT A PLANE, FLEW DOWN, RENTED A CAR,
HOWIE WOULD HAVE FOUND YOUR
ROSE AND HAVE BEEN LONG GONE.
- IS HE THAT GOOD A TRACKER?
- WELL, I TAUGHT HIM.
LIEUTENANT COMMANDER COLLINS.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THANK YOU. NUMBER'S FOUR
YEARS OLD, DISCONNECTED.
I TOLD YOU. I GOT THE ADDRESS.
LET'S GO THERE. YES, SIR.
IT WAS FOR JUNE.
EVERYTHING I DID WAS FOR HER.
YEAH, WELL, MAYBE STAYING HOME AND
BEING A FATHER WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH.
ROSE AND I WERE DIVORCED WHEN SHE WAS
VERY YOUNG. WE FOUND HER A DECENT HOME.
WHEN SHE WAS OLD ENOUGH, SHE
WENT TO A FIRST-CLASS FINISHING SCHOOL.
WELL, THAT'S EXPENSIVE.
WHO FOOTED THE BILL?
ROSE DID.
HOW COULD YOU HAVE
LOST TRACK OF HER?
SHE SET UP SOME KIND OF TRUST.
MONEY WAS SENT TO JUNE EVERY MONTH.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM ROSE
MYSELF IN OVER FOUR YEARS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW SHE DIDN'T
TAKE OFF WITH THE FIVE MILLION?
ROSE? YEAH.
NEVER. SHE'S NOT THAT KIND.
SO JUNE NEVER LIVED
WITH HER MOTHER?
- NOT IN THE KIND
OF HOUSE ROSE RAN.
- HOUSE?
YOU MEAN THAT KIND OF HOUSE?
- WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME BEFORE?
- I DIDN'T THINK
IT WAS IMPORTANT.
- ALL INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT.
- WELL, LET'S FACE IT. THIS IS HOPELESS.
- THEY'VE GOT TOO BIG A LEAD.
- WE'LL TAKE A SHORTCUT
THROUGH VICE AND CORRUPTION.
SO WHY CALL ME? BIG
JACK, BRACE YOURSELF.
HOWIE REALLY HAS SKIPPED...
AND SO HAS JOE EDWARDS.
NOW, THAT MEANS A BUNDLE OF YOUR
CASH AND MY TRUCK ARE ON THE LINE.
NOW, I NEED L.A. VICE TO FIND OUT
SOMETHING FROM SAN DIEGO VICE.
YOU'VE GOT TO HELP. HOW?
- I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT VICE.
- YOUR FRIEND QUAID DOES.
I WOULDN'T ASK HIM FOR A FAVOR
IF MY LIFE DEPENDED UPON IT.
LOOK, IT'S NOT YOUR
LIFE. IT'S YOUR MONEY.
ALL RIGHT, COLT.
WHERE CAN I REACH YOU?
THERE IT IS. ACCORDING TO THE DIVORCE
RECORDS, THAT'S ROSE'S LAST KNOWN ADDRESS.
I TOLD YOU I'D DIG HER OUT.
THE QUESTION IS, DO THEY
KNOW WHERE SHE'S GONE?
WELL, LET'S FIND OUT. UH, IT'S
BEST WE KEEP A LOW PROFILE.
WHY DON'T YOU GO AHEAD AND
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT? RIGHT.
HERE'S SOME MONEY. MIGHT
HELP YOU GET THE INFORMATION.
I GOT IT HANDLED.
WHY DON'T WE PULL UP A
LITTLE WAYS? WHY BE OBVIOUS?
YOU WERE WONDERFUL.
SO WERE YOU.
UH, I HAVE SOMETHING
I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU.
I'VE GOT THE ANSWER.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
UH, WELL, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYPLACE QUITE LIKE THIS BEFORE.
YEAH, I SPOTTED THAT RIGHT AWAY.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
UH, IT'S BEEN FIVE YEARS
SINCE... OH. SAY NO MORE.
LET'S TALK, UH, BUSINESS.
BUSINESS? YEAH.
OH. HEY.
IF YOU COME THROUGH, THEN THERE'S
GONNA BE 20 BUCKS IN IT FOR YA.
WOW. REAL BIG SPENDER.
MAKE IT A HUNDRED AND I'LL GIVE
YOU MORE THAN YOU EVER EXPECTED.
A HUNDRED? HOW? YOU
DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WANT.
TRUST ME.
A HUNDRED.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL GO UP TO
40 BUCKS, BUT THAT'S IT.
GOOD-BYE. UH, CLOSE
THE DOOR BEHIND YOU.
HEY, WAIT, WAIT,
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
SIXTY-SIX BUCKS.
THAT'S ALL I'VE GOT.
OKAY, COME ON.
YOU'RE KIND OF CUTE.
CAN'T WE STAY HERE?
IT REALLY HAS BEEN
FIVE YEARS, HASN'T IT?
SO THIS WAS ROSE'S.
DOES JUNE KNOW?
I GAVE HER THE PHONE
NUMBER. I THOUGHT YOU
DIDN'T WANT HER TO KNOW
WHO HER MOTHER WAS.
SHE DIDN'T. I GAVE HER
THE PHONE NUMBER IN
CASE SHE GOT IN TROUBLE,
COULDN'T REACH ME.
THAT'S GREAT. THEN
THE NAVY FELLA KNOWS.
STAY HERE. THIS
SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG.
WHO'S THAT? THAT'S
A BUSY LITTLE HOUSE.
WELL, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
OR IS THAT A SILLY
QUESTION? UH, JUST BROWSING.
WHAT FOR? A FRIEND.
YOU FOUND ONE,
LUCKY. COME ON IN.
THIS IS, UH, NICE.
REAL NICE. THANK YOU.
NO, NO. WAIT A MINUTE. HEY,
YOU'VE GOT ME ALL WRONG.
- DO ANYTHING FOR
YOUR COUNTRY, HUH, KID?
- WELL, SURE I WOULD.
OH, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I WAS
LOOKING FOR ROSE BUTTERWORTH.
UH, WAS SHE IN THE BEDROOM?
ALL RIGHT. LET'S HAVE A
VISIT WITH MISS BUTTERWORTH.
I KEEP TELLING YOU,
SHE'S NOT THERE.
JUNE!
DAD.
- COLLINS! FORGET THE GIRL. GET AFTER HIM.
- WHAT'S GOING ON, COLT?
ALL RIGHT. GET HIM. INTO THE
CAR. LOOKS LIKE A CONVENTION.
LET'S GO, KID. - WELL!
MOVE IT!
STAY WITH HER.
AH, JUST LIKE OLD TIMES.
EXCEPT I GOT FIVE YEARS AND A DISHONORABLE
DISCHARGE AND YOU'RE A COMMANDER.
- WHAT ABOUT YOU, BATES,
MAKE ADMIRAL?
- I RESIGNED.
I OWN A SECURITY SYSTEM COMPANY.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF
CROOKED PEOPLE IN THE WORLD TODAY.
- TRUST THIS GUY?
- OH, DAWSON. ABSOLUTELY.
HE'S BEEN WITH ME
FOR OVER TWO YEARS.
WE'VE SHARED A LOT TOGETHER...
AND SOON, FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
- HE'S NOT GETTING
ANY OF MY SHARE.
- OR MINE.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH.
OH, WE ALL HAVE...
ESPECIALLY POOR JOE HERE.
HE'S A BULLDOG, SIR.
WITH YOUR PERMISSION,
I'D LIKE TO TRY SOME
EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES.
WHATEVER IT TAKES, DAWSON. THEN WE CAN
ALL GET DOWN TO SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO!
- THIS WAS MY MOTHER'S?
- SHE WANTED YOU TO HAVE IT.
IT'S BEEN IN YOUR FAMILY
FOR OVER 200 YEARS.
ROSE ALWAYS LIKED OLD THINGS.
WAS SHE REALLY A MADAM?
LOOK, KID, UH, YOU'RE GOING
ABOUT THIS, UH, ALL THE WRONG WAY.
- WAS SHE?
- JUNE, COLT'S RIGHT.
LET HER ANSWER.
WELL, SHE... RAN THE PLACE.
I WONDER IF WE'LL EVER FIND
OUT WHAT SHE DID WITH THE MONEY.
MAYBE SHE TOOK HER SECRET
WITH HER TO THE GRAVE.
SPEAKING OF WHICH.
- WHAT IS THIS?
- A CLAIM CHECK... SORT OF.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
YOUR MOTHER.
SO, MY ROOTS SEARCH
IS OVER... LIKE THIS.
ISN'T IT WONDERFUL?
TAKE CARE OF HER, WILL YOU, KID?
- I'LL MEET YOU
BACK AT THE HOUSE.
- WHAT HOUSE?
HOW MANY HOUSES DO YOU KNOW?
UH, NO, NO, NO. GO THE
BACK WAY. IT'LL BE SAFER.
LET ME ASK YOU SOMETHING. ARE
YOU SURE HER ASHES ARE IN HERE?
OF COURSE. YOU SAW THEM GO IN?
WELL, NO, BUT, WELL, WHY ELSE
WOULD ANYONE GO TO THE TROUBLE?
MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' HERE?
ME. NOW CAN I GO?
I HAVE WORK TO DO,
AND TIME IS MONEY.
I'LL TAKE THAT.
THIS?
THAT. HERE.
- WHERE'D YOU LEARN
TO HIT LIKE THAT?
- I'M A BROWN BELT.
- YEAH, WELL,
YOU'RE READY FOR BLACK.
- WELL, THANK YOU.
YOU THINK THE KEY IS IN
HERE? WELL, LET'S FIND OUT.
NOT ME. IT'S
AGAINST MY RELIGION.
LOOK, I'M NOT GONNA
DO IT. GIVE IT TO HIM.
WELL, COME ON. COME ON.
SOMEONE HAS TO. GIVE IT TO ME.
- YOU WOULDN'T DESECRATE
A GRAVE?
- GRAVE? WHOSE? NOT ROSE'S.
WELL, THEN WHO IS IN THERE?
ALL I KNOW IS ROSE
WAS CREMATED AND I
POURED HER ASHES OVER
THE OCEAN FROM A BOAT.
- YOU'RE POSITIVE?
- I OUGHT TO BE.
THE SEA WAS SO ROUGH
I WAS SICK FOR DAYS.
WOULD YOU JUST
GIVE IT TO ME, PLEASE?
THANK YOU.
MR. EDWARDS, TELL ME SOMETHING
BEFORE THEY COME OUT OF THE MAUSOLEUM.
IS THE ANSWER IN
THERE? I DON'T KNOW.
YOU REALIZE YOU'RE
IN A NO-WIN SITUATION?
IF THEY FIND THE MONEY,
THEY HAVE TO GET RID OF YOU.
IF THEY DON'T FIND THE MONEY, THEY'LL
KILL YOU TRYING TO MAKE YOU TALK.
I'M YOUR ONLY WAY OUT. YOU?
I'M WITH NAVAL
INTELLIGENCE. SO IS COLLINS.
THEY PUT ME UNDERCOVER
WITH HIM TWO YEARS AGO.
THE NAVY WANTS THAT MONEY
BACK. I'M AUTHORIZED TO MAKE A DEAL.
HOW DO WE GET AWAY FROM
COLLINS AND THE OTHERS?
I DRIVE US AWAY. THE
NAVY PICKS THEM UP.
AND JUNE? SHE'LL
BE FINE. I PROMISE.
OKAY.
WE'VE GOT A DEAL.
ROSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE
OF THE MONEY TILL I GOT OUT OF PRISON.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
SHE DID WITH IT,
BUT I FIGURE THE BEST PLACE
TO START IS BACK AT THE HOUSE.
DEAL?
DEAL.
ARE THESE ASHES HUMAN?
- NO. IT'S PAPER.
- WHERE'S THE RECORD ROOM?
UH, DOWNSTAIRS, THE VAULT.
I WANT TO SEE ROSE
BUTTERWORTH'S. HERE.
THIS URN WAS PUT HERE FOR
SAFEKEEPING BEFORE SHE DIED.
NOW HOW COME YOU
DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT?
NO REASON TO. IT
WASN'T A BURIAL.
ALL RIGHT. LET'S
GO. THAT'S JUST US.
OH, UH, Y-YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
THE DOOR DOESN'T
OPEN FROM THE INSIDE.
NOBODY WILL EVER
KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE.
IS IT TRUE? NO WAY
OUT? NONE. NONE.
- YOU SMOKE?
- UH, NO. I GAVE 'EM UP.
YOU DON'T WANT A CIGARETTE?
NO, YOU GOT A MATCH?
YEAH. LET ME HAVE IT.
ALWAYS A WATER GAG.
OKAY, WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.
ROSE WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE CARE
OF THE MONEY TILL I GOT OUT OF PRISON.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE
DID WITH IT, BUT I FIGURE
THE BEST PLACE TO START
IS BACK AT THE HOUSE.
- ALL RIGHT. TURN IT OFF.
- YOU DOUBLE-CROSSING PUNK.
I CALL IT LOYALTY.
LET'S GO. COME ON.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
DAWSON, IF ANY OF THE GIRLS GET
SQUEAMISH, MAKE 'EM COMFORTABLE.
DAD.
- COME ON. GET HER OUT OF HERE.
- COME ON. COME ON.
COME ON. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
ALL RIGHT, JOE.
IT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE NINTH,
TWO OUTS, TWO
STRIKES, THE LAST PITCH.
WHERE'S THE MONEY?
THAT'S JUST... THAT'S
JUST LIKE MY ROSE.
SHE'S ALWAYS... ALWAYS DOING
THE UNEXPECTED, YOU KNOW?
I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE
SHE HID THE MONEY.
SO, THIS URN MEANS NOTHING
TO YOU, HUH? NOT A DAMN THING.
YOU TOLD DAWSON
THE MONEY WAS HERE.
OH, COME ON, COLLINS. I
WAS IN INTELLIGENCE TOO.
YOU THINK I'D LET A YOUNG
PUNK LIKE THAT FOOL ME?
DAWSON, GET JUNE OUT HERE.
- YOU LEAVE HER OUT OF THIS.
- OH, NO, NO, NO, JOE.
UH-UH. YOU WANT TO OPEN A
DOOR, YOU DON'T FORGET THE KEYS.
ALL OF THESE ANTIQUES ARE REAL.
DAWSON, YOU HEARD THE
COMMANDER. BRING HER IN HERE.
NO!
HEY.
DON'T USE THIS. WHY NOT?
I'LL TELL YOU LATER.
WAIT. RIGHT.
I'M ON YOUR SIDE. WHA...
- WHY DIDN'T YOU
TELL ME EARLIER?
- I REALLY AM NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
SORRY, ORDERS. COME ON.
NOT ONE PIECE BROKEN.
KID, WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
I FOUND THE MONEY.
YEAH, WELL, WHERE IS IT?
YOU'RE STANDING ON IT. A
FIFTH-CENTURY PERSIAN RUG,
WORTH ABOUT $80,000.
NOW YOU'RE SITTING ON IT. WHAT?
THAT'S AN ORIGINAL LOUIS
XIV COUCH... ABOUT $200,000.
SHE PUT ALL HER MONEY
INTO ANTIQUES? YEAH.
I FIGURED IT OUT
WHEN I SAW THIS VASE.
IT'S AN ORIGINAL MING, WORTH
ABOUT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
OH!
AND THEN THE TWO NAVAL
INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS,
ALLEN AND BATES, WERE WAITING
FOR ME OUTSIDE OF THE JAIL.
THESE ARE TWO OF THE PHONY
OFFICERS? NO. ONLY BATES WAS PHONY.
ALTHOUGH FROM THE BEGINNING, IT
SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE BOTH REAL.
WELL, HOW COULD YOU TELL
THAT ONE OF THEM WAS A FAKE?
HE SWITCHED SIDES IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT.
COLT AND I WERE BOTH
SURPRISED. OH, I'LL BET.
THEN THE TWO IN UNIFORM THAT
PICKED UP JUNE WERE BOTH BAD? RIGHT.
COLLINS MASTERMINDED
THE WHOLE THING.
AND THIS GUY, DAWSON, TOLD JUNE'S
FATHER THAT HE WAS WORKING UNDERCOVER...
SO JUNE'S FATHER WOULD TELL
HIM WHERE THE MONEY WAS HIDDEN,
BUT HE REALLY WASN'T
WORKING UNDERCOVER.
HE WAS PHONY TOO. UH, HOWIE,
THIS IS GETTING REALLY CONFUSING.
WELL, NO, IT ISN'T. I
DON'T KNOW, HOWIE.
I THOUGHT I UNDERSTOOD IT ALL
TILL YOU STARTED EXPLAINING IT.
ONE MORE TIME FROM
THE TOP. YOU SEE...
HI, BABE. DAD.
NOW, THAT'S THE REAL ONE? RIGHT.
UH, CAPTAIN ALLEN, THIS IS
JODY BANKS. HI. HOW ARE YOU?
IT'S ALMOST OVER,
SWEETHEART. THAT'S RIGHT, JUNE.
HE'LL BE COMPLETELY
FREE AS SOON AS HE ISSUES
A FORMAL STATEMENT
TO NAVY INTELLIGENCE.
WHICH WE SHOULD BE DOING ABOUT
NOW, JOE. OH, CAN I GO WITH YOU?
BABE, FROM NOW ON, YOU
CAN GO ANYWHERE WITH ME.
AND THANKS TO YOU TWO, UH, IT LOOKS
LIKE WE HAVE A CHANCE TO BE A FAMILY AGAIN.
JOE, COME ON.
I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN
SOMETIME. HEY, ANYTIME. JUST CALL.
I'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO
SOME MOVIE STARS. OKAY.
THAT'S NICE.
SEEING THEM TOGETHER MAKES
IT ALL WORTHWHILE, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH. WELL, THAT'S WHAT
BEING A FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT, KIDS.
