00:00:00To be continued...
00:00:30Oh, what's the name of that Burt Reynolds picture with the banjo?
00:00:35Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, that one with that kid.
00:00:38It was good, that guy.
00:00:39Yeah, yeah, it was good.
00:00:42Deliverance.
00:00:44A couple of nights ago, me and Denise, we popped that into the DVD.
00:00:48We're about an hour into this thing, and I start thinking to myself,
00:00:52this story ain't very realistic.
00:00:55You're a lonely mountain man.
00:00:57They're destroying your home.
00:00:58They've taken your job.
00:01:00There is no place to set you still.
00:01:03You are angry.
00:01:05They've destroyed everything that validates your manhood.
00:01:09You're confused.
00:01:10Your sexuality is in question.
00:01:13You decide you're going to hit for the other side.
00:01:16You want yourself some man meat.
00:01:18I understand that.
00:01:19But wouldn't you wait for Burt Reynolds to come down with him?
00:01:23You want
00:01:24I understand that.
00:01:37I know you need to hit for me.
00:01:37I know you can get!
00:01:38You need to go up and do it now.
00:01:39You want to change the point and do it?
00:01:41You need to do it, and if you want me, please leave it here tonight.
00:01:43It's really neat.
00:01:44You want me to do it?
00:01:44I know you aremetros looking back.
00:01:45I know you got a lot of, you know?
00:01:47Oh, ma'am.
00:01:48I'll see you soon.
00:05:48The third act.
00:05:51It has a third act.
00:05:56Okay?
00:05:58Thanks.
00:05:58You don't see that in movies these days.
00:06:03These days, it's all about the gimmick.
00:06:10Great setup.
00:06:12Great first act.
00:06:13Then let's blow something up.
00:06:17I mean, you concentrate on the gimmick and you shortchange the ending.
00:06:21The audience leaves unfulfilled.
00:06:23There's nothing like a great movie.
00:06:28I love the movie.
00:06:29I love the movie.
00:06:32I mean, the old movies, you know, where it was all about the story.
00:06:34I've got a story.
00:06:36I'll bet you do.
00:06:40Well, this one's got it all.
00:06:43Well, this one's got it all.
00:06:43Prison break, jewel heist, girl.
00:06:48Pitch me.
00:06:55Pitch you?
00:06:57Pitch me.
00:06:58It's a Hollywood thing.
00:07:00It's where they have all the power.
00:07:02It makes you dance like a .
00:07:03Well, what's in it for me?
00:07:05Maybe you get to live a little longer.
00:07:07Maybe if your story's so good, when that pager rings, I might forget where I am.
00:07:14I'm at the movies.
00:07:16Nobody remembers their job at the movies.
00:07:23Well, let's see.
00:07:25I think it was 1977, New York City.
00:07:28No, no, no, no, no.
00:07:29No one will shoot in New York.
00:07:31It's way too expensive.
00:07:33Let's call it City Nonspecific.
00:07:36And the whole thing's in the 70s?
00:07:38No, no, just the beginning.
00:07:42Like a flashback.
00:07:44Perfect.
00:07:45Fantastic.
00:07:46I love the flashback.
00:07:48Much maligned, oft misunderstood flashback.
00:07:51Pitch me.
00:07:53It was 1977, the city's diamond exchange.
00:07:58There was a magician.
00:08:03I guess it was, Texas.
00:08:05It was back in the audiology for a walk-up in college.
00:08:09That's great.
00:08:21That's what we're looking for.
00:08:21Say, watch me once more quickly, praise me.
00:08:23Please do see half you then and hear me.
00:08:25Let me ask you questions.
00:08:27Bye.
00:08:29What time was it? I need to get a feel for the setting.
00:08:41Uh, 4 p.m. Closing time.

00:11:55Oh, God!
00:12:57Fraud, forgery, passports, documents.
00:13:00I gave people new identities.
00:13:02If you wanted to disappear, I was the guy you called.
00:13:05Micah Tobias, a.k.a. the magician.
00:13:0925 years grand theft.
00:13:10The take, diamonds.
00:13:12Market value, 4.5 million.
00:13:15Never recovered.
00:13:16I got your birds.
00:13:29My job, two homie pigeons, camera, kodachrome film, and an escape plan.
00:13:34My take, a cool million.
00:13:37This day, we became partners.
00:13:39I got your birds.
00:13:41Are they marked?
00:13:42The address you gave me.
00:13:45Camera and film?
00:13:47Already in your cell.
00:13:48Alvy, I was on the impression this being a communal guard, and we'd all take a vote before we move the scarecrow.
00:14:00I woke up this morning and found out that for the past two months you've had your fist up my ass.
00:14:11I don't like your fist in my ass, Finch.
00:14:17Any free hand in this yard steals for me.
00:14:21You want anything, you come to me.
00:14:23That's the deal.
00:14:24That's how it works.
00:14:27Any questions?
00:14:29I don't know where you did your MBA work, but I believe you're confusing deal, which is an arrangement for mutual benefit with extortion.
00:14:35Listen, you don't know me.
00:14:40I've got your head right off.
00:14:42Stepping down now.
00:14:44You got a problem with that, Henry?
00:14:45I don't know where you are, Henry.
00:15:15How's it look?
00:15:17Pretty good.
00:15:23Last chance.
00:15:25I'll be out of here soon enough.
00:15:28Just stick to the original plan.
00:15:32You know he's going to try and kill you.
00:15:37I'll be okay.
00:15:45I'll be okay.
00:16:15I'll be okay.
00:16:44Up, up, up!
00:16:54Freeze! Freeze! Freeze!
00:17:14Hit it! Hit it!
00:17:21Hit it!
00:17:22With me!
00:17:24I'm here!
00:17:44I'm here!
00:17:46I'm here!
00:17:47I'm here!
00:17:48I'm here!
00:18:11You all right?
00:18:14Go on three!
00:18:15One!
00:18:16Two!
00:18:17Freeze!
00:18:22Come on!
00:18:23Come on!
00:18:24Come on!
00:18:25Come on!
00:18:26Go!
00:18:27Go!
00:18:32Yes, sir!
00:18:33Thank you!
00:18:39Get back!
00:18:40Go!
00:18:41No!
00:18:42No!
00:18:43Go!
00:18:44No!
00:18:45Go!
00:18:46No!
00:18:48No!
00:18:53Oh, no!
00:18:55Oh!
00:18:57No!
00:18:59No!
00:19:00One word, three syllables.
00:19:19The clue is a need to disappear.
00:19:22Gravedigger?
00:19:23Mikey.
00:19:24Finch.
00:19:25I thought you were in jail.
00:19:26I'm in a lot of trouble.
00:19:27I need your help.
00:19:28I need a kit and I need a body.
00:19:30Where are you?
00:19:31I'm in the city.
00:19:32There's a safe house on the east side.
00:19:33A bar called Fillmore's.
00:19:34Can you get that?
00:19:35Yeah.
00:19:36Ask for Dolores.
00:19:37Tell her Savion Center.
00:19:38She'll know what to do.
00:19:39I got a friend.
00:19:40Vitals?
00:19:4155-year-old Caucasian male.
00:19:42Approximately 5'9", 150 pounds.
00:19:43I'll see what I can do.
00:19:44Where the hell you been?
00:19:45Well, I couldn't hide them in my jacket forever, could I?
00:19:49Way to deal with this cage.
00:19:50Look at this.
00:19:51I don't know what I can do.
00:19:52Where the hell you been?
00:19:53Well, I couldn't hide them in my jacket forever, could I?
00:19:57Way to deal with this cage.
00:19:58Look at this.
00:19:59Got a faux bottom on it.
00:20:01Huh?
00:20:02You can hide things in it and everything.
00:20:05God, the magician and me just loves this stuff.
00:20:08You're not Cletus Taut?
00:20:10No.
00:20:11I've got a strong feeling that before the day is out, someone's gonna make use of that rather expressive, though somewhat old-fashioned term, foul play.
00:20:24Rebecca, United Artists, 1940.
00:20:26If you're not Taut, who are you?
00:20:28I'm Finch.
00:20:29Finch.
00:20:30Cletus Taut was a bottom feeder.
00:20:35He called himself a video journalist, but he was really just a thug with a camera.
00:20:40Worked alone.
00:20:41His client list included all those tabloid shows.
00:20:44His mark was anybody who made their living in the public eye.
00:20:47There was a bachelor party for some mobster's son.
00:20:50A kid named Rowdy Varaga.
00:20:52His dad, Pauly the Fist, ran a little group called the Viseri Crying Family.
00:20:56Rowdy was high profile.
00:20:58He liked that movie star status.
00:20:59But every time he put his face in front of a flashbulk, there was trouble.
00:21:03Rowdy was tapped to take over the family.
00:21:05He was untouchable.
00:21:06And you can only imagine what price the tabloids would pay for one shiny moment in this little Alice's Wonderland.
00:21:11Well, Taut could imagine.
00:21:13He made it his mission to bring Varago down.
00:21:18They picked up a hooker about 11.30.
00:21:21Took her to a loft downtown.
00:21:24Taut was there.
00:21:29He got rid of the body and nobody had come calling.
00:21:38They thought they were home free.
00:21:40Until Taut stuck his nose in.
00:21:42So they decided to kill him.
00:21:49This is impossible.
00:21:52I ain't pushing no more.
00:21:55Maybe he's got his foot on the brake.
00:21:57Hey, for a dead guy, he drives good.
00:22:02I got his hands wired to the wheel.
00:22:09Oh, what's the name of that fancy place?
00:22:12The one that makes all the donuts with the sprinkles.
00:22:15Oh, yeah, that place Ronnie's of all his sister works over there.
00:22:18You know I think she's a man.
00:22:20Yeah, she looks good.
00:22:22You know she's keeping the sideburns short.
00:22:25You smell smoke?
00:22:27Oh!
00:22:29Oh!
00:22:30All right then.
00:22:31Here's what we got.
00:22:32We got a male approximately six feet tall.
00:22:33Looks like he pissed somebody off because they shaked and baked him before they shot him.
00:22:38With a weapon?
00:22:39That small caliber machine gun.
00:22:40What's different about you?
00:22:41What?
00:22:42You know something?
00:22:43You do look different.
00:22:44I, uh, worked out a little more lately, you know?
00:22:47Eating a lot of fruit.
00:22:48And went on a colon cleanse.
00:22:49You need roughage.
00:22:50Why don't you eat the hairpiece?
00:22:51Oh, that's it.
00:22:52You got a piece.
00:22:53It's nice.
00:22:54It's nice.
00:22:55It was a hot afternoon.
00:22:56I can still remember the smell of honeysuckle all along that street.
00:22:57How could I have known that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle?
00:23:15Double Indemnity.
00:23:17Paramount 1944.
00:23:18The film's strength is definitely crafted use of the flashback.
00:23:22Now here's my question.
00:23:24Can we have a flashback within a flashback?
00:23:29The FBI, he was in with the bodies for about ten minutes this morning.
00:23:33What'd our guy come up with?
00:23:35Nothing on the male.
00:23:36The female?
00:23:37Yeah, they're pretty sure she was strangled.
00:23:40Pretty sure.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:47Gentlemen!
00:23:48No coffee in here.
00:23:51This isn't Quincy.
00:23:53It'll be our little secret, huh?
00:24:06So, what do we have for lunch?
00:24:08Jane Doe, number 109 Charlie.
00:24:10Caucasian female, 112 pounds.
00:24:12You guys have done a print search, blood work, stomach analysis.
00:24:16As far as you can tell, she liked hot dogs and may have been strangled.
00:24:21Do you know the first thing I look at when I see a body like this?
00:24:24The tits.
00:24:25The tits.
00:24:26Straight.
00:24:27Saline implant.
00:24:29The only company who makes this model?
00:24:31Johnson Levy.
00:24:32Behind every bag, there's a serial number.
00:24:35Behind every serial number, there's a name.
00:24:38Gentlemen, meet Meryl Candide.
00:24:42I found four different types of spermicidal jelly, the type used in condoms.
00:24:47Now, either Meryl and her sweetheart have been sampling rubbers or sweet little Candides.
00:24:54She's a hooker.
00:24:55Would somebody get Kojak a sucker?
00:25:00What killed her?
00:25:01Compression scars on the neck, marbling.
00:25:04The lady's been strangled.
00:25:05It's all in the file.
00:25:07I'm gonna need another day for the hot runner.
00:25:10You know, barbecue boy next door.
00:25:16All I got, small caliber machine gun, five gallons of gas and a match.
00:25:20And you say the only thing that links these two is the area where they were found?
00:25:26That's right.
00:25:29Dr. Savion.
00:25:30Phone call.
00:25:31Line one.
00:25:36Savion?
00:25:37One word.
00:25:38Three syllables.
00:25:39The clue is, I need to disappear.
00:25:43Gravedigger?
00:25:45Mikey.
00:25:46Finch.
00:25:47I thought you were in jail.
00:25:50Are you?
00:25:51Let's see.
00:25:52Go.
00:25:53Go!
00:25:54Where's your man in jail?
00:25:55What's the hell?
00:26:01Yes.
00:26:02That's it.
00:26:03Hello.
00:26:04Hiya, Finch.
00:26:05Mikey.
00:26:06I know we don't have a lot of time, and I don't wanna know anything.
00:26:10I'm gonna keep it clean, and I'm gonna keep it simple.
00:26:13Mike, a Tobias?
00:26:15Not for long.
00:26:16This is a freebie.
00:26:18You kept me out of jail by keeping your mouth closed.
00:26:21I thank you. My wife thanks you. My children thank you.
00:26:25This is the last time you'll hear from me.
00:26:26And I know this is the last time I'll hear from you.
00:26:30Here's your package.
00:26:34You have a computer, laser printer, camera, plenty of film,
00:26:40paper for photographs, and you have your trim kit.
00:26:43There's enough here to make you both driver's licenses,
00:26:46supporting ID, the whole nine yards.
00:26:49Passports, I have a problem.
00:26:51I can't access one of the numbers without fingers pointing.
00:26:54Finch, this is going to be your job.
00:26:58You are now Marcel Zavoya, 55-year-old unemployed office worker.
00:27:02We found him with his head in the oven.
00:27:04His passport number, I have.
00:27:07This is you. Be careful with this one, man.
00:27:09Somebody set fire to the poor ****.
00:27:11I have his address and his vitals.
00:27:13I even have his keys. I found him three inches deep in his thigh.
00:27:16You're going to have to go to his house and find his passport.
00:27:19How much time are you going to need?
00:27:21A couple of weeks. We got a few things we got to take care of.
00:27:24You got $10,000 in cash.
00:27:26You'll take you most places you want to go.
00:27:27This is a gift from my wife.
00:27:31Spend the night here tonight.
00:27:33Leave everything you don't absolutely need.
00:27:35There's a rack with clothes.
00:27:36Tomorrow you are dead,
00:27:37and I never want to hear from you again.
00:27:39My brother, it is so good to see you again.
00:27:45Good to be seen.
00:27:47Marcel, au revoir.
00:27:49Adieu.
00:29:02You're an official card-carrying member of the double AARP.
00:29:05No senior should be without it.
00:29:07And the coup de gras, your SAG card.
00:29:09It's a dream you always wanted to pursue.
00:29:11Now, if the kids are growing, you finally found that me time.
00:29:15Now, for me, I've got to get Tout's passport number.
00:29:17That's first on the list.
00:29:19You can't throw up the number?
00:29:20I don't want to chance it.
00:29:21Pick the wrong number, it's over.
00:29:23Shouldn't be a problem, though.
00:29:24It says here the guy's a journalist.
00:29:26My guess is he has one.
00:29:28The real question is, when do you want to go after those diamonds?
00:29:32What are you doing?
00:29:39Hello, Daddy.
00:29:40No.
00:29:56No.
00:30:00No.
00:30:01You know, it's funny.
00:30:19And all the time I spent with the old man, he never once mentioned he had a daughter.
00:30:24We found her.
00:30:25I couldn't fault him for it.
00:30:27And I was only long out of circumstance.
00:30:31I left them alone for the time being.
00:30:32I was sure they had some catching up to do.
00:30:34More than 20 years' worth.
00:30:35Besides, I had other things on my mind.
00:30:39I needed that passport number.
00:31:02Hello, Mr. Taft.
00:31:03It is Taft, isn't it?
00:31:09So, you're my new neighbor.
00:31:17I can tell you one thing.
00:31:19I cannot wait for that neighborhood watch meeting.
00:31:24This came for me today.
00:31:27Naughty, naughty.
00:31:30The note said for me to hold on to it until I heard from you.
00:31:33It also said not to open it.
00:31:35Sorry.
00:31:41First floor.
00:31:44Aren't you right?
00:31:47Next stop, Mr. Taft.
00:31:50The basement.
00:31:51The dirty, dirty basement.
00:31:54It's just Mrs. Stanton.
00:32:01Her hobby is anything I do.
00:32:07It's gotten to be where I can't even bring anyone home anymore.
00:32:10But you, you're already home.
00:32:13So, I've been for a drink sometime.
00:32:17I'm up late.
00:32:19Very, very late.
00:32:22All right.
00:32:29All right.
00:32:30Detective Delaney, please.
00:32:56Oh, Detective, I didn't expect to get you so late.
00:33:01Well, this is Doris Stanton.
00:33:03You remember that you asked me to let you know if Mr. Tartt came by?
00:33:09Well, he's at home right now.
00:33:13We'll send somebody over right away.
00:33:23You got a big problem.
00:33:25You got the wrong guy.
00:33:27He's at home right now, and if you hurry, you can catch him.
00:33:31But don't kill him in the building.
00:33:33And if you do, whack the old lady in number nine.
00:33:37Hello, dippin' shit.
00:33:58How's your supper?
00:33:59What's wrong?
00:34:01What's wrong?
00:34:02You killed the wrong guy.
00:34:03That's what's wrong, putzo.
00:34:04That's impossible.
00:34:06I give you a simple job, and all you two can do is blow so much smoke up my ass, it's a miracle I ain't died of rectal cancer.
00:34:14You got a beat on him?
00:34:16He's at home right now.
00:34:17And you take the car, and you do it right this time.
00:34:20You hit him outside.
00:34:21You get him a couple miles away from the place.
00:34:23I don't want anybody seeing you do this.
00:34:24And dump his body on the west side this time.
00:34:27You got a paper trail Helen Keller could follow.
00:34:34We should eat first.
00:34:36What the hell is Helen Keller?
00:34:46It's too tall.
00:34:48Mr. Tao.
00:35:16Mr. Tao.
00:35:16Mr. Tao.
00:35:17Mr. Tao.
00:35:18Mr. Tao.
00:35:25Passport's nowhere to be found.
00:35:26I think this Tao was a serious trouble.
00:35:28You should see the gig they pulled on his apartment.
00:35:30It's like a dump site.
00:35:31On top of that, I'm officially paranoid.
00:35:33I could swear I was being followed.
00:35:35Finch, we got a plan.
00:35:37Yeah, what's that?
00:35:38Tomorrow we go for the diamonds.
00:35:41We?
00:35:42What she knows?
00:35:43What the hell are you doing?
00:35:44You know better than to tell some dame.
00:35:45Dame?
00:35:46Let me ask you something.
00:35:47Do you have any idea what you're getting involved with?
00:35:49You're aiding and abetting a fugitive.
00:35:50That's a felony.
00:35:52Did you actually just call me a dame?
00:35:55What, you've been in prison since the 50s?
00:35:57You think you're in the Rat Pack?
00:35:59Listen, Ma Barker.
00:36:00That's it.
00:36:01I'm not listening to another word from this guy.
00:36:03You're not in charge, all right?
00:36:05I'm a career criminal.
00:36:06I should be in charge.
00:36:07I'm the superhero of crime.
00:36:08I should have a big C on my chest.
00:36:10Oh?
00:36:10I like this girl.
00:36:12She's like the classic film Ingenue.
00:36:14Bright, complicated, but with a softer side.
00:36:18Like Catherine Hepburn.
00:36:20And you know what else?
00:36:21I think the old man knew this was coming.
00:36:22That's why he brought her along.
00:36:23She's supposed to impress me.
00:36:32She's OK because she breaks into a pottery shop?
00:36:35This isn't a crime.
00:36:36This is embarrassing.
00:36:37Breaking into a bank, that's a crime.
00:36:40When's the last time you broke into someplace with a cane?
00:36:43About two hours ago.
00:36:46At least it'll make for some story in the prison mess.
00:36:48What are you in for?
00:36:49Broke into a kiln.
00:36:50Better yet, when the judge asks me how do I plead,
00:36:53I'll just give him that glazed look.
00:36:56Daddy, I put together some things.
00:36:59Uh, sweetheart, that's all well and good
00:37:01if you're stealing the Hope Diamond.
00:37:04Fortunately, we're just trying to break into a field.
00:37:07And, uh, you know how I feel about that.
00:37:11What is that, a gun?
00:37:12You keep a gun in a pottery shop?
00:37:20Oh, I just, I love this one.
00:37:23What is it?
00:37:28It's an urn.
00:37:29An urn.
00:37:30Well, that explains the gun.
00:37:32Well, that's all you've got,
00:37:33I love this one.
00:37:50Well, I've probably...
00:37:52Go, go!
00:37:57Umm, you'll never say the gun?
00:37:58You okay?
00:38:02It's incredible.
00:38:05Many people die or get killed in this city every day, and the one guy I choose to be
00:38:11is the only dead guy in the city everybody wants to kill.
00:38:17Micah, see anything out there?
00:38:21Daddy?
00:38:22Micah?
00:38:23Daddy?
00:38:24Micah?
00:38:25Daddy?
00:38:26Hey.
00:38:27Micah.
00:38:28Oh, God.
00:38:29Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:38:30What happened?
00:38:31Did they get him?
00:38:32I mean, he just found her.
00:38:33He's got to give her the diamonds to make things right.
00:38:35Did he have time to say goodbye?
00:38:36He didn't die right there.
00:38:37Well, that's really all kind of a blur, you know?
00:38:39I just remember bits and pieces.
00:38:42He said he wanted to go to the park.
00:38:44I don't know.
00:38:45I don't know.
00:38:46I don't know.
00:38:47I don't know.
00:38:48I don't know.
00:38:49I don't know.
00:38:50I don't know.
00:38:51I don't know.
00:38:52I don't know.
00:38:54He said he wanted me to take care of her.
00:38:59He made me promise him.
00:39:02That was a feather.
00:39:07He said there's magic in something as simple as a feather.
00:39:15I don't know what the heck that means.
00:39:19And then he died.
00:39:49Guess what, f*** those? You missed again.
00:39:59Yeah, 500 rounds, and the only damage is a ceramic bat set and a 50-year-old man.
00:40:05Let me ask you something. Is this some sort of master plan?
00:40:09You kill old Tout's associates so we got nobody to play with?
00:40:12What, we trying to bore him to death here? Huh?
00:40:15Make him so despondent at the thought of nobodies that he puts a gun in his mouth?
00:40:18What the f***'s wrong with you?
00:40:24Call critical, Jim.
00:40:35So, um, how many people have you killed?
00:40:38I don't believe I've ever killed a man that didn't deserve it.
00:40:41The Shootist, Warner Brothers, 1976.
00:40:45Hey, look, killing's a business.
00:40:47The truth is they all deserved it.
00:40:50They have a reputation.
00:40:51I clean up people's dirty little secrets.
00:40:57So when that page arranged, that mean you're gonna kill me?
00:41:01Haven't you learned the rules of probability and outcomes?
00:41:04Aren't you aware that every question of life or death remains a probability until the outcome?
00:41:09Heaven can wait.
00:41:12Paramount.
00:41:131978.
00:41:14Have you ever been to a movie?
00:41:18Tell me more about the girl.
00:41:22Well, we hadn't spoken in about a week.
00:41:23I tried to contact her after Mike had died, but she'd have nothing of it.
00:41:32So I checked in here at the Gladstone.
00:41:35Couldn't get the old man's voice out of my head.
00:41:37Four years I spent with him, all I could think about was the last thing he said to me.
00:41:42Take care of her.
00:41:43I can't even take care of myself.
00:41:46Then it hit me.
00:41:47Yeah.
00:41:48Tess.
00:41:49Hi.
00:41:50I think I know how to find the diamonds.
00:41:53What?
00:41:54I thought we could partner her up on this thing.
00:41:56No, I mean, split it 50-50.
00:41:57No.
00:41:58No.
00:41:59No.
00:42:00No.
00:42:01No.
00:42:02No.
00:42:03No.
00:42:04No.
00:42:05No.
00:42:06No.
00:42:07No.
00:42:08No.
00:42:09No.
00:42:10No.
00:42:11No.
00:42:12No.
00:42:13No.
00:42:14No.
00:42:15No.
00:42:16No.
00:42:17No.
00:42:18No.
00:42:19No.
00:42:20No.
00:42:21No.
00:42:22I split it 50-50.
00:42:23Honor among thieves and all.
00:42:24Don't let me into your group.
00:42:26You're the superhero of crime.
00:42:28You're the one with a big silly chest, remember?
00:42:31Obviously you do.
00:42:32Look, I'm not splitting anything with your 50-50.
00:42:33Do you know why?
00:42:34Because, there should be some sort of a clause.
00:42:36A Jiggins clause.
00:42:38Do you know what a Jiggins is?
00:42:40It's a ****
00:42:42So every time you do something stupid.
00:42:44Every time you give me the Jiggins.
00:42:45I take five percent.
00:42:47Now it's been one week with the map.
00:42:48That was stupid.
00:42:49That's Jiggins.
00:42:5055-45.
00:42:51This is about you. You're greedy. You just want it all for yourself.
00:43:00It's not the diamonds. I want the box.
00:43:05I just want the box.
00:43:10You've obviously touched a nerve.
00:43:13The box, it must mean something to her.
00:43:15Tess, come on. What do you want from me?
00:43:21You said it what I want. Why didn't you shut the fire off?
00:43:26Okay, look. I'm coming up. All right?
00:43:45Jiggins, 60-40.
00:44:01Look, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry?
00:44:04Ooh, Jesus.
00:44:0665-35.
00:44:08It's not a Jiggins. It's a mistake. I mean, it's dark up here. I can't see anything.
00:44:11Failure to comprehend the concept. Jiggins, 70-30.
00:44:16Let me ask you a question. Are you possessed by the devil?
00:44:19That's funny. Very funny.
00:44:22And I don't mean ha-ha funny. I mean, I've been in prison for 20 years and feel comfortable in pumps kind of funny.
00:44:28Suppression of sexual tendencies. Not very bold. Jiggins, 75-25.
00:44:32Okay, that's it. I got my own clause. Tell me if you know what this word means, all right?
00:44:37What the hell is all this crap here?
00:44:38What's all this crap here?
00:44:39Oh, is that your clause?
00:44:43Because that was nine words. Eight with a contraction. I mean, you asked me if I knew what a word meant.
00:44:49That's singular. Word is singular. What's all this crap here? A plural. In terms of words, anyway.
00:44:54I don't know. It's singular. Why? Because I'm running them all together.
00:44:57Because this is my word. My clause. The what's all this crap here? Freak clause. Known henceforth as THE clause.
00:45:02Now, every time you break THE clause, I take back 10%. Let's see how many times you've broken THE clause.
00:45:09How about ever since I met you? Do you know what that means? You not only owe me 100% of that map, but for the next 50 years, you have to kiss my red rosy puckered crack.
00:45:17Whoa. That was nice. Real descriptive.
00:45:22Kiss my rosy red puckered crack. I should shoot you right now.
00:45:27Well, I'm just telling you what happened. I, uh, I didn't realize I was gonna be critiqued here.
00:45:36What's my name?
00:45:38Excuse me?
00:45:40Critical Jim. Say it.
00:45:44Critical Jim.
00:45:46What do you suppose that means?
00:45:48Yeah.
00:45:50Where are we going now?
00:45:52Uh, after the diamonds.
00:45:54Under the old man's tree.
00:45:57That's right.
00:46:1980-20.
00:46:2050-20.
00:46:21Oh, you had no idea.
00:46:22Jimmy.
00:46:23Oh, you're right.
00:46:24Oh, you're right.
00:46:25Ah, up to me.
00:46:26No, you're right.
00:46:27I've had no idea you're right.
00:46:28I'm not sure I was going to have a condo.
00:46:29I'm going to have a condo.
00:46:30Trying to roll my hat, I'm going to have a condo.
00:46:32Oh, no, that's all right.
00:46:34So if you have a condo.
00:46:36Come back, you're oh.
00:46:39I'll put my condo.
00:46:41Well, I'll at the end of my life either.
00:46:44I'll have to take away my condo.
00:46:45I'll have to leave.
00:46:46Let the end of my new life.
00:47:47They were safe.
00:47:49Safe behind the walls of a minimum security prison.
00:47:52Now we're moving.
00:47:53Classic plot twist.
00:47:54They'll never see it coming.
00:47:56Now, if you could just get this love story off the ground, we'd have ourselves a picture.
00:47:59It's late in the second act, and we need a backstory.
00:48:02All right.
00:48:02Who is this girl?
00:48:09The girl.
00:48:14What's the deal with the birds?
00:48:17They're homing pigeons.
00:48:18When my father went to prison, they were the only way we could communicate.
00:48:25Actually, it works.
00:48:27But it was just some story from the war.
00:48:28Yeah, he had them tagged to the house my foster family lived at.
00:48:37Where was your mom?
00:48:39She died when I was six.
00:48:43Sorry.
00:48:43When I was eight, I was moved to another foster family when the birds never came back.
00:48:52I thought for sure he'd forgotten me.
00:48:54What's so important about the box?
00:49:09This is...
00:49:10Don't move, Patrick.
00:49:16I don't know.
00:49:18I don't know.
00:49:19I don't know.
00:49:20I don't know.
00:49:21I don't know.
00:49:31Bye.
00:49:32Bye.
00:49:51Are you crying?
00:50:14No.
00:50:15Yes.
00:50:17This thing's worse in terms of endearment.
00:50:21But at least we have our tagline.
00:50:24I mean, you thought it was hard breaking out of prison.
00:50:28Try breaking in.
00:50:31You are going to break in again.
00:50:33I mean, you've got to get the box.
00:50:34I mean, it means so much to her.
00:50:37If I get like this, I hate it.
00:50:39Hey, what are you doing?
00:50:40It's for the story.
00:50:42Make it much more interesting.
00:50:47Use your hands now.
00:50:48Gesture, all right?
00:50:49All right.
00:50:50What we need now is some action.
00:50:53Some bang, bang, shoot-em-up action.
00:50:55Just like when I first met you.
00:50:58Well, the diamonds were a moot point.
00:51:00But were they?
00:51:01I was on my way back to the Gladstone.
00:51:04My worst fear wasn't getting caught.
00:51:06My worst fear was getting killed.
00:51:08I was a man with a death sentence.
00:51:10Somebody wanted me dead.
00:51:12But why?
00:51:13Then it hit me.
00:51:14The tape.
00:51:19Maltese Falcon.
00:51:20My God, they wanted the Maltese Falcon.
00:51:23So I waited until it got dark,
00:51:25and then I went back to town's.
00:51:26This is my life.
00:51:42It always will be.
00:51:43this is my life it always will be there's nothing else just us and the camera and those wonderful
