00:01:31I saw you guys dancing earlier.
00:01:33You look good.
00:01:34It's not that easy, man.
00:01:35I can do that stuff.
00:01:36Oh, yeah?

00:01:52So what are you doing now, man?
00:01:53Getting ready to go take some pictures of some real break dancers.
00:01:56Oh, yeah?

00:01:59Not much, but I managed to buy myself a new bike.
00:02:02All right, man.
00:02:04Are you still seeing that chick, Carol?
00:02:06We broke up.
00:02:08She moved back to New York.
00:02:11Take it easy.
00:02:11I gotta go.

00:06:02Hello, Mark.
00:06:29This is Peters.
00:06:31I thought we agreed you would not first.
00:06:35Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.
00:06:37You know, this whole place used to be mine before Max ran off with that young tramp.
00:06:42Your mail, honey?
00:06:44I have the LA Times, Rolling Stone, and anything else you might want.
00:06:47Good, but I'll come by later and get them.
00:06:49Oh, honey, about your rent.
00:06:51If you could just slip me a check now, I could pop it into the bank in the morning.
00:06:55Uh, Mrs. Peters, look.
00:06:57There's a rock video shoot coming up, and they want me to take photos for the album cover.
00:07:01Oh, Marky.
00:07:03You know, I'd like to let this slip by.
00:07:04Look, another week, ten days tops.
00:07:07Oh, I swear.
00:07:08If you weren't such a handsome young man, I never would let it go this far.
00:07:12But, Marky, if the rent is not paid by next week, you're just going to have to hop in the sack with me.
00:07:18Late to pay my charge.
00:07:19You really know how to twist my arm, don't you?
00:07:27Hello?
00:07:28Mark, this is Roger.
00:07:31Roger, haven't seen you in months.
00:07:32How's the club?
00:07:33Not so good.
00:07:35Judy's dead.
00:07:37Killed in some kind of mysterious accident.
00:07:39Oh, no.
00:07:40Listen, could you come over right now?
00:07:43And bring your camera.
00:07:44Yeah, I'll be right there.
00:07:50Look, Mrs. Peters.
00:07:52We'll talk later.
00:07:53A friend of mine.
00:07:54I gotta go.
00:07:54We'll talk later.
00:08:24It's not right, man.
00:08:43It's not right at all.
00:08:46Don't you see that?
00:08:48They threw off the bridge because they thought she knew something.
00:08:50Look, Jake.
00:08:51We don't know for sure.
00:08:53Jake.
00:08:55Mara.
00:08:56I'm sorry, man.
00:08:57I'm really sorry.
00:09:00You think they murdered her?
00:09:01We don't know.
00:09:03The cops are calling it suicide.
00:09:06Let me tell you some pretty strange things have been happening lately.
00:09:09Somewhere up in the distance
00:09:12Someone cries in the night
00:09:16Is there anyone there?
00:09:20Don't anyone care?
00:09:22I know that something's not right
00:09:26Maybe I shouldn't be here
00:09:31And maybe I should slow down
00:09:34It's been getting rough, Mark.
00:09:36Real rough.
00:09:37I mean, we always pay a little something to somebody, right?
00:09:40That's just the way of the world.
00:09:43Protection money?
00:09:44Yeah.
00:09:46So if you're used to paying off somebody, what's the problem?
00:09:50I think someone's trying to take over the club.
00:09:53You know, make it a front for me and all that other shit.
00:09:55Look, if I can help you guys out, I mean...
00:10:00Proof?
00:10:00I need proof of what's going on.
00:10:02Then the cops can't ignore us.
00:10:05I'm gathering evidence about what's been going on around here, but I need more.
00:10:09I'd like you to hang out around here, work with Jake behind the bar, but keep that camera close.
00:10:15Because I got a feeling we're going to need it.
00:10:18You've always been like an uncle to me, Rog.
00:10:20You guys are family.
00:10:22So if there's anything I can do to help, you got it.
00:10:25No more late payments, understand?
00:10:46Rog.
00:10:47Hey, Roger.
00:10:50Ladies and gentlemen, management of the music club is very proud to present the Full House Blues Band.
00:10:56How's it going?
00:11:16I just got an order for a pink lady, a Bloody Mary, and a zombie.
00:11:20Sounds like some of the customers around here.
00:11:23I'm telling you, this script is getting weird.
00:11:25Especially the thumbs.
00:11:38Hey, watch it, ma'am.
00:11:42Now, folks, we'd like to bring to the stage a delightful young lady, Carol Wyatt.
00:11:47Let's hear her.
00:11:48Oh, Carol!
00:11:55Baby, let me so blue.
00:12:20I'm taking off on a word for me.
00:12:24I'm going to see the sights I've missed.
00:12:27Without a people of the USA.
00:12:31I'll take a feeling back in my face.
00:12:35I'll find the faces that'll treat me kind.
00:12:39Sell my car, gonna get more freedom.
00:12:41I'm walking out.
00:12:42I'm walking out.
00:12:43I'm a leader, let's see you.
00:12:46We're through.
00:12:49We're through.
00:12:53We're through.
00:12:56We're through.

00:13:24There's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:13:25Uh, Carol
00:13:33I'd like you to meet a friend of mine
00:13:35Mark
00:13:35You know each other?
00:13:38We know each other
00:13:40Who are they?
00:13:52I'll tell you later
00:13:55I gotta go
00:13:56Roger, can I talk to you a second?
00:13:58Hello
00:13:59Sure
00:13:59Uh, Mark, have you met Martin Crane, my partner?
00:14:03We met years ago
00:14:03And I worked with the club
00:14:04Good to see you, Mark
00:14:05Yeah, we have a nice arrangement
00:14:06I handle the music
00:14:07Mark
00:14:07No, excuse us
00:14:08Please
00:14:09I'll see you later
00:14:15I thought you were in New York
00:14:17I was
00:14:18I've been back for two months now
00:14:21I just haven't had the nerve to phone me yet
00:14:23I've been away myself
00:14:25How's the photography business?
00:14:28Up and down
00:14:28I've been concentrating more on my motorcycle racing
00:14:31Same old Mark
00:14:34He could be a great photographer
00:14:36If you give up that champion biker fantasy
00:14:39Now let's not start that up again
00:14:41It was wrong before
00:14:43Between us
00:14:45I'm sorry I left in such a hurry
00:14:48I just had to get away from everything
00:14:50Forty grand
00:14:52They're out of their minds
00:14:54But we have no choice, Roger
00:14:56Well, where the hell do they think we're going to get that kind of money?
00:15:01I can get it
00:15:03But we'll have to sign over the club
00:15:05As collateral
00:15:06Oh, Christ
00:15:07Do you think we could
00:15:09Sorry to break up the party, folks
00:15:11But I've got to go off with Martin
00:15:12It's a business matter
00:15:13Everything okay?
00:15:15Well, for now
00:15:16But could you do me a favor, Mark
00:15:18And give Carol a ride home
00:15:19And then come back here later?
00:15:22Sure
00:15:22Okay, good
00:15:23Okay, then
00:15:25I've got to talk to you or something
00:15:27So maybe you could walk me to the door
00:15:28So we'll see you
00:15:31Yeah, Martin just wrote the news to me
00:15:37I've got to make a payment tonight
00:15:38Outside in the alley
00:15:40So what I want you to do
00:15:42Is hide someplace
00:15:43And get a photo of me handing over the money
00:15:45I want some good clear face shots, Mark
00:15:47So I can put that to all the other stuff I've got going
00:15:49No problem
00:15:50You just stand near the light
00:15:51Yeah, okay
00:15:52Now Martin will tell you when it's time
00:15:54Come on, Roger
00:15:55Yeah, okay, okay
00:15:57All I ever wanted was a simple music club
00:16:00With no complications
00:16:01Christ, can you believe what's happening?
00:16:06What's going on?
00:16:07I wish I knew
00:16:08You bike?
00:16:10Yeah
00:16:10It's faster than the old one
00:16:21Where do you live?
00:16:23In Hollywood
00:16:23Where do you live?
00:16:24In Hollywood
00:16:25This is a pretty lonely street, isn't it?
00:16:50I like it that way
00:16:52I've got a loft up on the roof
00:16:54Listen, you go back and take care of Roger
00:16:58And then phone me tomorrow
00:17:00We'll talk then, okay?
00:17:02Okay
00:17:03I've grown up a lot in the past few months
00:17:07I'll prove it to you
00:17:09We've got time
00:17:15See you tomorrow
00:17:16I'll be right back on the roof
00:17:27And then
00:17:28You're the only one
00:17:29I'll be right back on the roof
00:17:31Yes.
00:17:55Hey, guy.
00:17:57Listen, Mark.
00:17:58I know this is none of my business.
00:17:59but Carol, she's been, uh...
00:18:02You can take off now, Jake.
00:18:04It's time.
00:18:08We'll talk later.
00:18:29We'll talk later.
00:18:59We'll talk later.
00:19:29We'll talk later.
00:19:59We'll talk later.
00:20:05Police.
00:20:06Don't move.
00:20:11A punk like you taking pictures of a mob?
00:20:14Do you expect us to believe that?
00:20:15Settle down, Frank.
00:20:17Let him talk.
00:20:18Can you believe that?
00:20:19He just happened to be in the alley
00:20:20when someone sneaks up behind him.
00:20:22I'm telling you, it's the truth.
00:20:24You little fart.
00:20:25Don't give me any lip.
00:20:26Frank.
00:20:31Now, you say
00:20:33you got hit in the back of the head, right?
00:20:35Yeah, I did.
00:20:36Right here?
00:20:37I mean, someone walks up behind him
00:20:39with a lead pipe and...
00:20:40Christ, Lieutenant!
00:20:41Frank, that's enough.
00:20:42Let him alone.
00:20:45I know all about this.
00:20:48Good cop, bad cop, right?
00:20:49This bastard's mean to me,
00:20:52so I open up to the nice cop.
00:20:53What the hell are you calling a bastard?
00:20:55Don't be a...
00:20:56Jefferson.
00:21:00Now, listen, kid.
00:21:01Roger Lucas was murdered last night,
00:21:03and you were found at the scene
00:21:04with a murder weapon in your hand.
00:21:05Now, I suggest you calm down
00:21:07and tell us everything you know.
00:21:09Everything.
00:21:09You know how to use
00:21:39a firearm?
00:21:40Yeah, so what?
00:21:43And how long have you known Roger Lucas?
00:21:45Look, we've been over this
00:21:47a hundred times.
00:21:48And we'll keep going over it
00:21:50until we get an answer.
00:21:53It's got to be here somewhere.
00:21:56Well, if it ain't here,
00:21:57he's got to have it with him.
00:22:00You know what this is, Jefferson?
00:22:04No.
00:22:05These are the results
00:22:06of that paraffin test
00:22:07we gave you a few hours ago.
00:22:08So what?
00:22:10You know about paraffin tests?
00:22:11How we can tell
00:22:12whether you fired a gun
00:22:13in the last few hours?
00:22:15I didn't fire a gun.
00:22:18That's what the report tells us.
00:22:20Pat,
00:22:21that little bastard
00:22:22could have been wearing gloves
00:22:23for Christ's sake.
00:22:24That's true.
00:22:25But the upshot,
00:22:26so to speak, is this.
00:22:27The tests are inconclusive.
00:22:30We've got to let you go, Jefferson.
00:22:32You're kidding!
00:22:33Frank, we'll discuss this later.
00:22:34I mean, you've got to be joking.
00:22:35We found him standing over the body
00:22:36with a smoking pistol in his hand.
00:22:38Frank, will you-
00:22:38Charge him!
00:22:39Throw his in jail!
00:22:41Murder one, god !
00:22:42Murder one!
00:22:43Shut up!
00:22:45Listen, kid.
00:22:47We think you killed Roger Lucas.
00:22:49But until we get more evidence,
00:22:50we've got to let you go.
00:22:51But you stay in close proximity.
00:22:53Because if you disappear from sight,
00:22:55I'm issuing an all-points bulletin on you.
00:22:57I'm issuing an all-points bulletin on you.
00:23:27Oh, Marky!
00:23:33No!
00:23:46Don't kill him!
00:23:47We need him alive!
00:23:48I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:49I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:50I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:51I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:52I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:53I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:54I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:55I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:56I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:57I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:58I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:23:59I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:24:00I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:24:01I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:24:02I'm issuing an all-point bulletin on you.
00:26:33Thanks, Jake.
00:27:05What about her?
00:27:06She belongs.
00:27:07Or belonged to Roger Lucas.
00:27:09He paid the rent on her studio from the day she moved in.
00:27:12Now get your ass in here.
00:27:15Mark.
00:27:22Mark.
00:27:23Let's talk now.
00:27:25I didn't do it.
00:27:33You know I didn't do it.
00:27:35You know I didn't do it.
00:27:36I know that.
00:27:37Why didn't you tell me about you and Roger?
00:27:40Hell, I wouldn't have done anything.
00:27:42It was nothing, Mark.
00:27:44He was like a father.
00:27:45Really.
00:27:46He was just this kind, gentle man who thought that I was worth something.
00:27:54So he helped me.
00:27:56Look, my career hasn't been happening.
00:28:00This thing with Roger, it was a matter of comfort to both of us.
00:28:03You've got to find out who did this.
00:28:10You've got to find out who did this.
00:28:15Did Roger tell you anything?
00:28:16No.
00:28:17Nothing.
00:28:18All I know is that he was really worried lately and he was scared.
00:28:24Roger was like a father to me too.
00:28:27When I first came to LA.
00:28:31You'll need some money.
00:28:37Here's $60 in cash and a bank card for the 24-hour teller.
00:28:44Roger Lucas.
00:28:49Thought I could use it.
00:28:52He just gave it to me a couple of days ago.
00:28:55Before.
00:29:04Mark, we've got to avenge this.
00:29:06Then you and I.
00:29:08Miss Wyatt, police.
00:29:10Miss Wyatt, open up.
00:29:13Is there another way?
00:29:15Open up.
00:29:16No, there's no other doors.
00:29:17Miss Wyatt, open up.
00:29:19Just a minute.
00:29:22We know he's in there.
00:29:26I was on the phone.
00:29:30I was on the phone with Mark.
00:29:32That's why you're here, isn't it, Mark Jefferson?
00:29:34Hello?
00:29:35Jake, it's me.
00:29:53Mark.
00:29:55Hello?
00:30:02Jake, it's me.
00:30:04Mark, where have you been?
00:30:06People have been looking all over for you.
00:30:08I know. I feel like I'm in someone else's nightmare.
00:30:10Man, the cops were here. This is bad.
00:30:13They think that you...
00:30:15I know, I know.
00:30:16What is going on? I'm out here on the street with no one to turn to.
00:30:20Man, I wish I knew.
00:30:21Those two hoods? The ones that came into the club for Roger?
00:30:24Yeah.
00:30:24Who are they? Who do they work for?
00:30:27I don't know, but I've seen them hanging out at the Blue Doggy Club.
00:30:31It's a cat house a couple of blocks down Sunset.
00:30:34But that place got busted last week.
00:30:36I'm going there anyway. It's a place to start.
00:30:40Well, I'll meet you there.
00:30:41No, stay at the club. Maybe you can pick up something.
00:30:44I'm going with you.
00:30:45No, Jake. I might need you later.
00:30:46We need somebody in the clear and you're elected.
00:30:48Damn it.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:51Okay.
00:30:53Ask for a chick named Turquoise.
00:30:54She might know something.
00:30:57And tell her that you're a friend.
00:30:58Thanks.
00:31:02Who was that?
00:31:04Mark Jefferson?
00:31:05You're going to have to pay my price.
00:31:17You're going to have to pay my price.
00:31:21Can I help you?
00:31:43I'm looking for a chick named Turquoise.
00:31:46Over there.
00:31:51You're Turquoise?
00:31:56Yeah.
00:31:57I'm Mark Jefferson, a friend of Roger Lucas.
00:32:00Roger?
00:32:01He's dead.
00:32:02That's why I need your help.
00:32:05Jake Ray gave me your name.
00:32:08I can't talk here.
00:32:09Come to my room.
00:32:21Pretend you're a customer.
00:32:28A John.
00:32:29We're probably being watched.
00:32:31You're a cute kid.
00:32:32What's your stake in this?
00:32:34Maybe Roger was a friend of mine.
00:32:35A good friend.
00:32:37Now, who did it?
00:32:38Who killed Roger?
00:32:39I'm not sure.
00:32:40That's the truth.
00:32:42Listen, for your own good, stay out of this.
00:32:44I can't.
00:32:45I've got to find out.
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:51There's this hotshot kid named Mark Jefferson.
00:32:54Yeah.
00:32:55I think he's here now.
00:32:56He's becoming a danger to us.
00:33:01Why don't you just let me help you forget all your troubles?
00:33:05That's what I'm here for.
00:33:10Turquoise, let me in.
00:33:11I'm with the customer, bud.
00:33:15Turquoise, let me in.
00:33:17What's the matter?
00:33:18Open up now or you're fired.
00:33:20All right.
00:33:21All right.
00:33:21I'm coming.
00:33:22Turquoise.
00:33:23Here.
00:33:26Bud, what the hell's the matter?
00:33:27Who's he?
00:33:28A customer.
00:33:30You don't look like no John to me.
00:33:31What's he, a cop?
00:33:32What's the problem, man?
00:33:33We got busted last week once.
00:33:36We don't got no time for punks like you.
00:33:38I want you out of here now.
00:33:39All right.
00:33:40All right.
00:33:40I'll get my rocks off someplace else if that's all right with you.
00:33:43Out, wise guy.
00:33:44Out.
00:33:45Out.
00:33:46And you, stay away from him.
00:33:54Charlie Wu, Fangs, Chinatown.
00:33:57And you, stay away from me.
00:34:10ỏi
00:37:33Hello?
00:37:34Yes?
00:37:35Yes, Lieutenant Donegan, I remember you.
00:37:39No, I don't know if I'd tell you.
00:37:43Thanks.
00:37:45Goodbye.
00:37:45I'm sorry.
00:37:46I'm sorry.
00:37:47I'm sorry.
00:37:48I'm sorry.
00:37:53I'm sorry.
00:37:54I'm sorry.
00:37:55I'm sorry.
00:37:59I'm sorry.
00:38:07I'm looking for Charlie Wu.
00:38:19Not here, not here.
00:38:21Charlie Wu.
00:38:22Are you sure?
00:38:24I was told...
00:38:25No, no.
00:38:26Wait!
00:38:37No, no.
00:39:07No, no.
00:39:37Mark Jefferson.
00:39:40And you?
00:39:41I'll ask the question.
00:39:42You answer the question, okay?
00:39:44Who you work for?
00:39:46Work?
00:39:47Yes.
00:39:48Syndicate?
00:39:49Moran.
00:39:50Moran?
00:39:51A friend of mine, Roger Lucas, was killed.
00:39:57I'm trying to find out who did it.
00:40:00Johnny Moran's the one you're after, not me.
00:40:03He killed a woman friend of mine.
00:40:05And he killed Roger Lucas, and they're trying to pin it on me.
00:40:08What do I care?
00:40:10I've got to get him.
00:40:12A kid like you after a guy like Moran?
00:40:16I've got to find something out about him and turn it over to the police, or I'll do it myself.
00:40:20Interesting, interesting.
00:40:21Untie him.
00:40:23We talk.
00:40:23But not too fast.
00:40:27We're not sure about him yet.
00:40:28You know about guns?
00:40:43Moran's a weapons dealer.
00:40:45He sells guns to the gangs in L.A.
00:40:48So he wants the music club.
00:40:50Right.
00:40:50Rock and roll club.
00:40:52A good place to meet gangs.
00:40:54And Moran will do anything necessary to get it.
00:40:58You can go now.
00:41:00We don't know you no more.
00:41:01You hurt Moran, all right.
00:41:03You don't hurt him, nothing on us.
00:41:05But if you come back here, he'll kill you, okay?
00:41:10Give Mr. Jefferson a ride home.
00:41:17This is from Mr. Wu.
00:41:25Thanks.
00:41:26The way Mr. Wu figures it, we might want the same thing.
00:41:29That's Moran's special address, his headquarters.
00:41:32I don't have to apologize for what we did.
00:41:34And you know, we never met, right?
00:41:37Not us, but Mr. Wu.
00:41:38Where have you been, man?
00:41:48Boy, you look terrible.
00:41:50Drive.
00:41:51Just drive.
00:42:02So it finally begins to make sense.
00:42:05Not for me, man.
00:42:06It's a war, Jake.
00:42:08Moran's taken over the strip.
00:42:10And Moran wants our club?
00:42:12Right.
00:42:13Judy finds out about it.
00:42:14I don't know how.
00:42:16But before she can blow it,
00:42:18Moran kills her.
00:42:20That was a warning to Roger,
00:42:21but he didn't listen.
00:42:22He was getting together some evidence.
00:42:24He got killed for his troubles.
00:42:26Shit.
00:42:28So why is everybody and their brothers after your ass?
00:42:31Convenient, I guess.
00:42:33In the wrong place at the right time.
00:42:36Yeah.
00:42:37But still,
00:42:39why are they coming after you?
00:42:41That I'm not sure about.
00:42:44I just thought of something.
00:42:46Yeah.
00:42:47You remember those photos I did of the jazz musicians?
00:42:50Yeah.
00:42:51I got turned on to a guy named Cappy.
00:42:53Down at the jazz joint.
00:42:55He knows everybody.
00:42:56Everything that happens on the strip.
00:42:58The jazz joint?
00:42:59That where we're going?
00:43:00That's where we're going.
00:43:01Let's go.
00:43:12Lots of people looking for you, son.
00:43:13So I'm told.
00:43:16I dare say you's hot as piss on the grill.
00:43:18I was framed, Cappy.
00:43:19I know.
00:43:21What's it all about, Cappy?
00:43:23Why are they after me?
00:43:24The way I hear it, Roger had some evidence that would put Moran away.
00:43:28And since no one's found that evidence, they think he gave it to you.
00:43:33To me?
00:43:34Yeah.
00:43:35Evidence aside, though, if they can put you away, the police might let things blow over.
00:43:41For the right payoff, the cops may just let things lie.
00:43:44Christ.
00:43:47What about Moran?
00:43:50What's he dealing with that's so important to kill for?
00:43:53Right now, there's 40,000 gang members in Los Angeles.
00:43:57And that's a lot of customers for the guns he's dealing with.
00:43:59Shoot.
00:44:01Plus, where it has it, it's shipping more than that in all of us in Central America.
00:44:08You'd better get home.
00:44:10That's too many people coming to this place.
00:44:12Thanks, Cappy.
00:44:25That's all I got.
00:44:27That's all I need.
00:44:35Take care now.
00:44:36Watch out.
00:44:42Man, you a d***.
00:45:11I know.
00:45:13I got a gun in my glove compartment.
00:45:15You may need it.
00:45:24This strip isn't what it used to be.
00:45:31Let's get some cash.
00:45:32I always need cash.
00:45:34Your bank card is damaged.
00:45:46Please have it replaced.
00:45:50What?
00:45:51I don't think it likes you, Mark.
00:45:53God d*** it.
00:45:55Man, you got everyone after your ass.
00:45:58The cops want you for two.
00:46:00Count them.
00:46:00Two murders.
00:46:02The mob want you for evidence you ain't got.
00:46:04And now this computer's s***ing you over.
00:46:06I tell you, things are getting crazy.
00:46:08Look out!
00:46:22Look out!
00:46:36You can stay at Ronnie's place.
00:47:05She's out of town.
00:47:07And we got a surprise for you.
00:47:22It's okay, man.
00:47:23It's all checked out.
00:47:28I'll be back at the club.
00:47:32Thanks, Jake.
00:47:35I've missed you.
00:47:36I've missed you.
00:47:37I want you to know
00:47:39I've been saving my love for you, baby
00:47:42I can't wait another day
00:47:47Saving my love for you, baby
00:47:51Let me take you on the way
00:47:55Let me take you on the way
00:47:56What the hell?
00:48:13Martin, what are you doing here?
00:48:29Hey, what?
00:48:30It's 4.30 a.m.
00:48:46And I'm going back to my loft
00:48:48so that we won't arouse suspicion
00:48:49It was wonderful
00:48:51You are wonderful
00:48:52Call me when you wake
00:48:54and we'll arrange things better
00:48:55Love you, Carol
00:48:56Dole here
00:49:00Dole?
00:49:01Jefferson
00:49:01Where the devil are you?
00:49:16What are you doing?
00:49:18Where's Carol?
00:49:18You tell me where she is
00:49:19Were you going to try to convince me
00:49:22that you had nothing to do with this either?
00:49:24What are you talking about?
00:49:25You don't know a thing, I suppose
00:49:26No
00:49:27All right
00:49:28Let's do this by the numbers
00:49:30At 2.45 this morning
00:49:32Jake Ray was charged
00:49:33in the 300 block of Vista Avenue
00:49:35What?
00:49:36And when we got here at 9.30
00:49:37to question Ms. Wyatt
00:49:38The door was ajar
00:49:40The place a mess
00:49:41Signs of a struggle
00:49:42Carol
00:49:43Now what is going on?
00:49:46We've got to talk, Jefferson
00:49:48Now you get your ass out of the station
00:49:51Now
00:49:52Or I'll burn you, punk
00:49:53I'll burn you
00:49:54Moran
00:49:55What?
00:49:57Ever hear of Charlie Wu?
00:49:58Charlie who?
00:50:00Don't be funny
00:50:00Just meet me at
00:50:01660 Meyer Street
00:50:07Jefferson
00:50:08Jefferson
00:50:11Jefferson
00:50:11No punk kid
00:50:16tells me what to do
00:50:17No punk kid
00:50:32tells me what to do
00:51:08Carol, you're wasting my time.
00:51:18And I don't like my time being wasted.
00:51:21Now, I want that information that Roger gave you.
00:51:24I don't know anything.
00:51:30I've already told you everything I know.
00:51:32Carol, look.
00:51:40You're a lovely girl.
00:51:41You're beautiful.
00:51:43You're also a very talented singer.
00:51:46Beauty and talent in one person is rare.
00:51:50But you've told me nothing.
00:51:53Nothing.
00:51:53And that's going to change right now.
00:51:55Leave it alone.
00:51:56Stop moving.
00:52:08Stop moving.
00:52:11Come on, Jefferson.
00:52:15Take it easy now.
00:52:17Come here.
00:52:18Calm down.
00:52:19Take it easy.
00:52:20So you're Moran.
00:52:24Heard a lot about you.
00:52:26I've had more than my share of you, Jefferson.
00:52:30Don't do it.
00:52:31Did you see that, Jefferson?
00:52:53Wire him up, Vinny.
00:52:55Oh, my God.
00:52:56You know something, Jefferson?
00:52:59Life just ain't fair.
00:53:00Some guys, they move ahead, and some are left behind.
00:53:04You?
00:53:06You're left behind.
00:53:12What's the matter, Jefferson?
00:53:15You didn't feel it?
00:53:16Didn't feel the current?
00:53:18You know why?
00:53:19Because I control it from here.
00:53:21You've seen dimmers before, haven't you, Jefferson?
00:53:23You turn them down real low, and the lights get dim.
00:53:27You turn them up real high, and the lights get bright.
00:53:31I control the juice.
00:53:33Oh, my God.
00:53:35Now, where's that troublesome information that Roger gave you?
00:53:39He didn't give me anything.
00:53:43You like that, Jefferson?
00:53:47Do you like pain?
00:53:50Now, I'm going to assure you of one thing.
00:53:53The first time, I bore quite easily on this switch.
00:53:57But the next time, you're going to get a long jump.
00:54:01Where's that information that Roger gave you?
00:54:04I don't have it.
00:54:05You kill me!
00:54:10You kill me!
00:54:12Police, break it up.
00:54:16Jefferson, don't.
00:54:18Jefferson, come on back here.
00:54:41Where's Moran?
00:54:42Where's Moran?
00:54:44You kill me!
00:55:05What?
00:55:06Freeze.
00:55:28Now drive.
00:55:33Where are we going?
00:55:35Around.
00:55:35We're just going to ride around for a while.
00:55:37Then we'll call Moran.
00:55:39The cops got Moran.
00:55:40And the cops didn't get Moran.
00:55:42He's still got a few friends on the department.
00:55:43So like I said, we're just going to ride around for a while.
00:55:46Hey!
00:55:47Hey!
00:55:47Oh, my God.
00:56:17Oh, my God.
00:56:47Oh, my God.
00:57:17Oh, my God.
00:57:47Hey, you can't come up here.
00:57:51Oh, my God.
00:58:21Oh, my God.
00:58:51Oh, my God.
00:59:21Oh, my God.
00:59:22Oh, my God.
00:59:23Oh, my God.
00:59:24Oh, Mark.
00:59:34It's OK, babe.
00:59:35We made it.
00:59:37Thank God.
00:59:39Any news on Jake?
00:59:41He's still in intensive care.
00:59:42It's touch and go.
00:59:54The reasons are too many.
01:00:01Oh, little hope in many.
01:00:05All's cause for surrender.
01:00:09No wonder we don't stand and fight it.
01:00:14It doesn't have to happen.
01:00:18It doesn't have to be that way.
01:00:23If we try to make it.
01:00:27It doesn't have to be that way.
01:00:40For us, it should be easy.
01:00:44But nothing lies we see.
01:00:48What's wrong about each other?
01:00:53We can't seem to recover.
01:00:57I've counted less since we've lost track of.
01:01:01Instead, we tell each other where to get on.
01:01:06It doesn't have to happen.
01:01:10It doesn't have to be that way.
01:01:14I know every time we can make it.
01:01:17You go to the club and see your heart out.
01:01:20We've got to keep that place going.
01:01:22I'll take care of Moran.
01:01:24Be careful.
01:01:27I will.
01:01:29I will.
01:01:30I will.
01:01:32You've got to help, Kathy.
01:01:33You've got to help.
01:01:34I've got nothing for you.
01:01:35You've got to help.
01:01:36I've got nothing for you, Son.
01:01:50Kathy, there's dead people everywhere.
01:01:52I've got nothing for you, Son.
01:01:54I've got nothing for you, Son.
01:01:56You've got to help, Kathy.
01:01:58You've got to help.
01:01:59I've got nothing for you, Son.
01:02:01I got nothing for you, son.
01:02:03Cappy, there's dead people everywhere.
01:02:05I got nothing for you, Jefferson.
01:02:08Don't you know who I am by now?
01:02:10Can't you see who I am?
01:02:13I'm the in-betweener, Jefferson.
01:02:15I don't take no sides.
01:02:18Somebody want me to say something to you?
01:02:19I say it.
01:02:21They want you to know something.
01:02:23You know it from me.
01:02:24But don't take no sides and don't be no hero.
01:02:28That's what I'm saying.
01:02:32I still don't think it's a good idea.
01:02:35Martin, I want to sing tonight.
01:02:38I have to sing.
01:02:41We've got to keep this place going like before.
01:02:44But you're upset.
01:02:45You're tired.
01:02:47You're not going to give the people a good show.
01:02:49Martin, listen.
01:02:51Roger was special to me.
01:02:54And this club, this club was everything to him.
01:02:58Everything he worked for.
01:03:00I know.
01:03:00So then let me do this.
01:03:03Don't let the club fold up because he's gone.
01:03:06Let it be like it was before.
01:03:09Okay.
01:03:10A quick set and then you're off.
01:03:12You got me?
01:03:14I got you.
01:03:15And thanks.
01:03:16Jefferson.
01:03:29Listen.
01:03:29I don't want any more of your in-betweener.
01:03:32I need answers now.
01:03:33Okay.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:35Talk.
01:03:35I'll tell you what I know.
01:03:38You just got to get your out of here and never come back.
01:03:41Okay?
01:03:41Okay.
01:03:43There's lots of people involved in this.
01:03:46Moran.
01:03:47Martin.
01:03:50Martin?
01:03:51Yeah.
01:03:52Martin.
01:03:54Maybe that cop Donegan.
01:03:56Donegan?
01:03:56The cops are involved in this?
01:03:59You draw your own conclusions.
01:04:04What about Dole?
01:04:06Dole's straight.
01:04:08Just don't know nothing.
01:04:09You don't know what's happening.
01:04:11That's all I can tell you.
01:04:12That's all I know.
01:04:13I have nothing else for you, Jefferson.
01:04:15Thanks a lot, Cappy.
01:04:22Watch your step, Judge.
01:04:24There's too many people involved in this,
01:04:26and they all want you out of the way.
01:04:29Especially the Moran.
01:04:33He's a very evil man.
01:04:45Hey, Mark, old buddy, old pal.
01:05:06You got a buck.
01:05:09What for?
01:05:10I'll rent out of cigarettes, man.
01:05:12Shit.
01:05:15What's this?
01:05:19In the card.
01:05:20The evidence was in the credit card.
01:05:24This is what everybody's looking for.
01:05:28Here.
01:05:30Thanks a lot, man.
01:05:31Sure, man.
01:05:33Hey, you keep together, all right?
01:05:35Yeah, I will.
01:05:45know.
01:05:54Oh, you're aool.
01:06:01Oh, yeah.
01:06:03No.
01:06:03No.
01:06:04No.
01:06:04No.
01:06:05No.
01:06:05No.
01:06:06No.
01:06:07No.
01:06:07No.
01:06:08No.
01:06:10No.
01:06:10No.
01:06:10No.
01:06:11Moran, I'm on my way.
01:06:19Okay.
01:06:41Let's go.
01:07:11Let's go.
01:07:41Let's go.
01:08:11This is how we're going to make our real money, Moran.
01:08:30Right here.
01:08:31This is going to get rid of those greasy wetbacks.
01:08:36Right here, Moran.
01:08:41Right here.
01:08:41This is how we're going to get rid of those greasy wetbacks.
01:08:50This is how we're going to get rid of those greasy wetbacks.
01:09:00This is how we're going to get rid of those greasy wetbacks.
01:09:05Yeah, hello?
01:09:21Dole, it's Jefferson.
01:09:23Meet me at the club right away.
01:09:25Jefferson?
01:09:26Jefferson.
01:09:27No, no, no.
01:09:28You come on over here.
01:09:29We've got a few things to go over.
01:09:30At the club now.
01:09:31I've got what we need to put Moran away.
01:09:35That punk kid.
01:09:38I'd like to thank you for coming here tonight.
01:09:42Some people are trying to close down this club.
01:09:45Take it over.
01:09:46Well, we're dedicating this next song to them.
01:09:50We're giving them final notice.
01:10:07What the hell are you doing?
01:10:09Don't move.
01:10:12What are you doing here, Mark?
01:10:13I should ask you that.
01:10:15But from what I just photographed, it seems pretty obvious.
01:10:18How much do you want?
01:10:19We can cut you in.
01:10:21You'd be a rich kid, Mark.
01:10:22Shut up.
01:10:26I should kill you right now for what you did to Roger and Jake.
01:10:30It wasn't me.
01:10:31It was Moran.
01:10:34He set up the whole thing.
01:10:35He's the one you want.
01:10:36I didn't want anybody killed.
01:10:38It was Moran.
01:10:40Here's Moran.
01:10:45Jefferson, Jefferson, you little punk.
01:10:47Don't move.
01:10:48Don't move.
01:10:48Don't move.
01:10:49Don't move.
01:10:50Don't move.
01:10:51Don't move.
01:10:51Don't move.
01:10:52Don't move.
01:10:53Don't move.
01:10:53Don't move.
01:10:54Don't move.
01:10:54Don't move.
01:10:55Don't move.
01:10:55Don't move.
01:10:56Don't move.
01:10:56Don't move.
01:10:57Don't move.
01:10:57Don't move.
01:10:58Don't move.
01:10:58Don't move.
01:10:59Don't move.
01:10:59Don't move.
01:11:00Don't move.
01:11:00Don't move.
01:11:01Don't move.
01:11:01Don't move.
01:11:02Don't move.
01:11:02Don't move.
01:11:03Don't move.
01:11:03Don't move.
01:11:04Don't move.
01:11:04Don't move.
01:11:05Don't move.
01:11:06Don't move.
01:11:07Don't move.
01:11:08Don't move.
01:11:09Don't move.
01:11:17Here's your final notice.
01:11:47Hey, what's...
01:11:59All right, baby, hear it with me.
01:12:02Okay, Jefferson, throw down that film and she doesn't get hurt.
01:12:06Don't panic, man, just leave her alone.
01:12:15Now, what's going on?
01:12:18Stay back or she's dead.
01:12:20Careful, Lieutenant.
01:12:21He's the one that killed Roger and he just shot Martin ten minutes ago.
01:12:26All right, both of you, drop your guns.
01:12:28Let's stay calm about this.
01:12:29Stay back.
01:12:31It's no use, John.
01:12:32You don't have a chance of getting out of here.
01:12:35You're an idiot, doll, an idiot.
01:12:37Nobody holds Johnny Moran.
01:12:39You can take me to the station and I'll be out in minutes.
01:12:42And you know it.
01:12:43And what's the problem?
01:12:44Let the girl go.
01:12:46We'll go downtown.
01:12:46You'll be out on bail in no time.
01:12:49What are you waiting for?
01:12:50Shoot!
01:12:51Shoot!
01:12:52No!
01:12:56Carol, get down!
01:12:57Moran, don't!
01:12:57Are you all right?
01:13:12I'm all right.
01:13:13I'm just a little shaky.
01:13:16Donegan was going to shoot you, Lieutenant.
01:13:17I couldn't let him.
01:13:18I know.
01:13:19I've suspected.
01:13:21Thanks.
01:13:22Here.
01:13:23What's this?
01:13:25Some photos incriminating Moran.
01:13:26I took them tonight.
01:13:28And this is something special.
01:13:32Evidence Roger was gathering linking Moran to gun running.
01:13:35Oh, shit.
01:13:37How long have you had this?
01:13:38All the time.
01:13:39And I never knew it.
01:13:41What about Jake?
01:13:43Is he going to be all right?
01:13:44He's okay.
01:13:45He's in stable condition.
01:13:46Look, I've got a lot of things to do here.
01:13:51I'll see you at the station tomorrow.
01:13:53Okay?
01:13:55I'll be there.
01:13:57I, uh, guess I was wrong about you.
01:14:00You.
01:14:01Punk.
01:14:01I never really had a chance.
01:14:26All it took was just one glance
01:14:31Fall in love with you
01:14:35I knew the moment we embraced
01:14:44You could never be replaced
01:14:48No one else would ever do
01:14:52Somebody tell me I'm a good man
01:14:59Can this thing be true
01:15:03Find me every chance
01:15:07To spend some time with you
01:15:10I'm watching to do
01:15:13I've been saving my love for you, baby
01:15:16I can't wait another day
01:15:21Saving my love for you, baby
01:15:25Let me take you all away
01:15:29I just look into your eyes
01:15:37And I start to realize
01:15:40How much you mean to me
01:15:45Girl, I need you so much more
01:15:54Than I ever did before
01:15:58And I'm gonna make you see
01:16:03Somebody tell me I'm dreaming
01:16:09Can this really be true
01:16:14Can this really be true
01:16:16Finally have a chance
01:16:17To spend some time with you
01:16:20And I want you to know
01:16:23I've been saving my love for you, baby
01:16:27I can't wait another day
01:16:32I can't wait another day
01:16:33I'm saving my love for you, baby
01:16:35I can't wait another day
01:16:36I'm saving my love for you, baby
01:16:37Let me take you all away
01:16:40I can't wait another day
01:16:41I can't wait another day
01:16:42Fill the air with sounds
01:16:45Of our love for me
01:16:48Could it possibly be
01:16:52That what I see in you
01:16:55Is what you see in me
01:16:58I've been saving my love for you, baby
01:17:28I can't wait another day
01:17:30I can't wait another day
01:17:32I've been saving my love for you, baby
01:17:36Let me take you all away
01:17:40Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:17:48All the way
01:17:51I can't wait another day
01:17:54I can't wait another day
01:18:07I can't wait another day
