00:00:00Physical evidence.
00:00:23Physical evidence is by far the most important element when prosecuting a crime.
00:00:29That might be cellular material like DNA or blood, or as simple as a fingerprint.
00:00:44Whether we find that evidence or not is up to us.
00:00:47The bottom line is this.
00:00:49How well we do our job means the difference between a criminal going free or being prosecuted
00:00:55to the full extent of the law.
00:01:03The forensic evidence is out there, people.
00:01:06It's up to us to make sure we find it.
00:01:26Now, almost as important as physical evidence is the existence of one or more witnesses.
00:01:34I say almost because most witnesses are unreliable.
00:01:40Oftentimes they misinterpret or miss what they saw.
00:02:01Even more important, a good cop like you will all be would be able to describe every
00:02:09person in this room after one quick look.
00:02:16A good cop would be able to make each and every one of you.
00:02:37Your weight, your height, your race accurately and dispassionately.
00:03:01And even a bad cop would be able to notice Mr. Franklin once again leaving our class
00:03:07before the bail.
00:03:08Your assignment, Mr. Franklin.
00:03:09Yeah, sorry.
00:03:10I'm going to hurry you.
00:03:11All right, guys.
00:03:12That'll be it for today.
00:03:53I'm sorry I'm going to miss you.
00:04:22I say hindsight's 20-20 and I'll take it from me, that's the understatement of a century.
00:04:28All right, before you jump to any conclusions about me or what I'm doing with my life, just
00:04:33let me explain what happened.
00:04:34Hey, Slim, cover for me?
00:04:36Yeah, right.
00:04:37Too late.
00:04:38Warburton's already here.
00:04:39Man, I should get a life.
00:04:41You should get a watch.
00:04:44Look, the Brinks truck guy's been out there for 10 minutes.
00:05:11Hey, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
00:05:39Hey, hey, Mr. Warburton, I'm sorry.
00:05:44I got stuck in traffic again.
00:05:47I'm trying to run a hotel here, Franklin, not a halfway house for the irresponsible.
00:05:52Yeah, I know.
00:05:53I know, sir.
00:05:54Class ran a little later than usual.
00:05:56My teacher tends to be, uh...
00:05:58The Brinks truck was waiting over 15 minutes.
00:06:01Yeah, well, the 405 was just backed up again, you know?
00:06:04Riding you up again, Franklin.
00:06:07What?
00:06:08Is that really necessary, sir?
00:06:10Look, I'll look later.
00:06:11I'll look later.
00:06:12There's only 15 minutes.
00:06:14You know, it's not like I...
00:06:17This will be a second warning for your personnel file.
00:06:20Right.
00:06:21Well, it will not happen again, sir.
00:06:22I guarantee that.
00:06:23It better not.
00:06:37I'll meet you back here at the hotel at 4.30 in the afternoon sharp.
00:06:51Now go about your rounds, if you please.
00:07:08Excuse me.
00:07:09Can I help you?
00:07:10Uh, I was just looking for a way out.
00:07:13Oh, no, no.
00:07:14That's like administration and catering.
00:07:16Uh, no.
00:07:17Lobby is right through there.
00:07:18Actually, my ex-husband is out there, and despite a restraining order,
00:07:22he won't leave me alone.
00:07:24Oh, well, um, I'll walk you out.
00:07:27Well, it'll still be a scene either way.
00:07:30Um, isn't there another way out?
00:07:35Um, yeah, you know what?
00:07:38I'll show you.
00:07:39Yeah, come on.
00:07:41Yeah, so this staircase right here will take you right up and out.
00:07:45I really appreciate this.
00:07:46Oh, that's no problem.
00:07:48Actually, you know, I'm not really what I'd appear.
00:07:52I mean, you know, security guard.
00:07:54Well, you come back after I graduate,
00:07:56I'll arrest that guy who's been hassling you.
00:07:58You're studying to be a cop?
00:08:00Yeah, yeah, getting a degree in police sciences.
00:08:02Well, I wish you all the best.
00:08:04Thank you.
00:08:06Uh, hey, you know, if you ever need help with this situation,
00:08:10um, I don't know, I could, like, I could give you my phone number.
00:08:13That's very sweet of you.
00:08:15So that's a yes?
00:08:17That's a thank you.
00:08:22Officer J. Franklin?
00:08:25Jake, Jake.
00:08:27Goodbye, Jake.
00:08:29Goodbye.
00:08:32What are you doing?
00:08:43Idiot.
00:08:44Idiot.
00:08:46Idiot.
00:08:49Radio chatter.
00:08:59Over there.
00:09:01Over there.
00:09:15Didn't her hanging around the office arouse your curiosity?
00:09:20Well, like I said, she just, she looked like she was lost, you know, so...
00:09:25Well, she obviously knew the position of the camera.
00:09:29All we can see is the top of her head.
00:09:32We're about finished here for now,
00:09:34but I'd certainly like a copy of that video as soon as I can.
00:09:37Absolutely. You'll have the videotape on your desk first thing tomorrow morning.
00:09:41And, uh, if you can remember anything more about this afternoon, call me.
00:09:47Yeah.
00:09:49I'll show you out this way, please.
00:10:00This is a disaster for the hotel.
00:10:02I assume the hotel and Ms. Graham both have the vanderbilt heavily insured.
00:10:07Yes, but this will be a public relations nightmare. Heads will roll.
00:10:10You know, maybe you ought to beef up your security.
00:10:14Yes, I will make note.
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17You don't think he was involved, do you?
00:10:20No.
00:10:22I don't think so.
00:10:24I will make note.
00:10:25Yeah.
00:10:26You don't think he was involved, do you?
00:10:29Well, generally, robberies of this kind have someone working on the inside.
00:10:35Oh, so Franklin is a suspect?
00:10:37I wouldn't rule him out.
00:10:38I thought so.
00:10:40Are you going to arrest him?
00:10:43You can't arrest somebody for being stupid.
00:10:47Yes, certainly.
00:10:49Well, our insurance will be in touch for your report.
00:10:58Franklin, you're fired.
00:10:59For what? Look, I didn't steal anything.
00:11:02I have guests to worry about.
00:11:04The police have just informed me that you are a suspect.
00:11:07I can't have you buzzing around here while you're under suspicion.
00:11:10Look, Mr. Warburton, I need this job, okay?
00:11:13I mean, what am I supposed to do without a paycheck?
00:11:17You find the lady with the jewels.
00:11:20She seemed to have been taken by you.
00:11:25Thanks for nothing.
00:11:37I don't know what it is about me and certain women.
00:11:41It's just that this time I was really screwed,
00:11:43and I couldn't believe that I let her do it to me.
00:11:47I'm sorry.
00:12:17I'm sorry.
00:12:47I'm sorry.
00:13:18Okay, guys, that's it.
00:13:20And as they say in that TV program, be careful out there.
00:13:48Uh, Mr. Sheehan.
00:13:52Mr. Franklin, you're still here?
00:13:55Surely this must be a first.
00:13:57Yeah.
00:13:58Well, I actually don't have to be at work so early tonight.
00:14:01Look, I was wondering if maybe you could help me with something.
00:14:07Somebody stole some money out of my uniform, you know,
00:14:10and it was in the same pocket that this badge was on.
00:14:15And I'm just wondering if you could tell me
00:14:17if there are any prints there other than my own.
00:14:20Latent prints?
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:23Don't you know how to do that?
00:14:25Yeah, I do, but, you know, I just don't want to make a mistake.
00:14:46This one is not yours.
00:14:50All right, so how do I find out whose it is?
00:14:52DMV?
00:14:53Yeah, well, that's where I'd start.
00:14:55If he lives in California, he probably has a driver's license,
00:14:58and if he has a driver's license,
00:14:59his fingerprints would be in the system.
00:15:01I can search most of this through the department's database.
00:15:04Would you?
00:15:06Yeah.
00:15:07Okay.
00:15:08All right.
00:15:09All right.
00:15:10All right.
00:15:12Don't do this, would you?
00:15:15♪♪♪
00:15:22♪♪♪
00:15:32♪♪♪
00:15:38He would appear to be a she.
00:15:41You know her?
00:15:43I don't really know.
00:15:44I can't tell.
00:15:45Can you print it out?
00:15:50Sure.
00:15:52If you think it'll help.
00:15:54Yeah.
00:15:56♪♪♪
00:16:04♪♪♪
00:16:11$16.56.
00:16:13♪♪♪

00:20:18Yeah.
00:20:19Yeah.
00:20:38Um, listen, I'm, uh,
00:20:41interested in pawning that.
00:20:51That's a nice watch.
00:20:53I'm sorry, man, do you work here?
00:20:55Yeah.
00:20:56Yes, I do.
00:20:58I do.
00:21:01Uh-huh.
00:21:02So, uh, so can you help me with that?

00:21:51You got a receipt?
00:21:53Uh, no, actually, that was my uncle's.
00:21:55I inherited it when he died.
00:21:59Dead uncle, huh?
00:22:00Yeah.
00:22:02Breitling chronograph.

00:23:40Just looking after my investment is all.
00:23:43Okay, you look after your end of things and I'll look after mine, okay?
00:23:47Really? You used to like it when I looked after your end.
00:23:53Hey!
00:23:55What are you doing in here?
00:23:57Sharon told me to come in and sweep up everywhere.
00:24:00Don't ever come in here when I'm in here, is that clear?
00:24:04Yep.
00:24:06Morgan, the cigar.
00:24:09What? You want one?
00:24:35Okay.
00:25:05Come on.
00:25:19Hey, what's the matter? You lose your way again?
00:25:22What do you want?
00:25:24Oh, you're not the lady from the hotel, huh?
00:25:27I don't know what you're talking about.
00:25:29Alright, so how did your fingerprints wind up on my name tag?
00:25:32You've got me mixed up with somebody else.
00:25:34Mixed up with somebody else, do I?
00:25:35Alright, so this isn't you. That's not you. That's not you.
00:25:40What, are you kidding? This says red hair, blue eyes.
00:25:44An idiot could tell you've got the wrong person.
00:25:46You're so foolish.
00:25:47Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
00:25:48Is this clown bothering you?
00:25:50No, man, come on. It's like a case of mistaken identity, man.
00:25:53Alright, just relax. Alright, just put that down.
00:25:55I thought she was somebody else, okay? I don't want any trouble in here, man.
00:25:57It's just a big mistake.
00:25:59Well, that's one mistake you almost didn't walk away from.
00:26:02Now get the hell out of here!
00:26:10Come on.
00:26:32What city, please?
00:26:33Yeah, Los Angeles, please. The number of the LAPD.
00:26:36The 22nd Division, please.
00:26:38Downtown?
00:26:39Yeah.
00:26:40Would you like me to dial that for you?
00:26:41Thank you, thank you.
00:26:47Murphy.
00:26:49Franklin.
00:26:51The security guard.
00:26:56Really?
00:26:57Well, tell me all about it.
00:27:00Uh-huh. A pawn shop.
00:27:02Hey, that's good work, son.
00:27:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:27:07I'm writing it down as we speak.
00:27:11No, no, no, no. Not really, no. We'll get in touch with you.
00:27:15No, not now, but thanks.
00:27:30Here's that background file you asked for.
00:27:32Oh, wait a minute.
00:27:34Put this with the enactos.
00:27:36Sure thing.
00:27:43Anybody know a three-letter word for sub-seat?
00:27:50Anybody?
00:27:59No.
00:28:19Hey, Slim.
00:28:21Where have you been?
00:28:22I left you five messages.
00:28:24I know, I know. I've been running around like an idiot.
00:28:26You really screwed up this time.
00:28:28Well, thanks, Heather.
00:28:29It's always nice to know that I have your support.
00:28:31Look, I got you that job,
00:28:32and now I've got to hear about it from the Warbird every friggin' day.
00:28:35Yeah, but you're backing me up, right?
00:28:40No, actually, I tell him
00:28:42it's brothers like you that give nepotism a bad name.
00:28:46That's cold.
00:28:48Come over and hold this.
00:28:49All right.
00:28:59Heather, I tracked her down.
00:29:02Tracked who down?
00:29:03You know, the thief, the lady with the necklace.
00:29:08Look, Chick, I believe you. I know you're not involved.
00:29:11You know what? I hate it when you do that.
00:29:13Just hear me out on this, okay?
00:29:15So I called the cops, and they just, they blew me up.
00:29:18What are you talking about?
00:29:20Well, I talked to this guy, Detective Murphy.
00:29:23He's, like, in charge of the case, right?
00:29:25And he doesn't even want to bring me in.
00:29:27I mean, Heather, I'm giving him the whole case here,
00:29:29and the guy's treating me like I'm a nuisance caller or something.
00:29:32You don't think he's involved, do you?
00:29:34No, no, no, but there is definitely something wrong.
00:29:36No, no, Jake, I know that look.
00:29:38You're in too deep. Just stay away.
00:29:40Yeah, well, that's easy for you to say.
00:29:42Anyway, listen, I got a favor to ask you.
00:29:44This is my extra set of keys. Just do me a favor.
00:29:46Hold on to them for a second, all right?
00:29:48Jake, no, come on. Now you're scaring me.
00:29:50It's all right. I'm all right. It's all good.
00:29:52I'll call you in, like, a couple of days.
00:29:54Anyway, I'm alive, and I'll talk to you, all right?
00:29:56Yeah.
00:29:58You know what?
00:30:00How much do you need?
00:30:02How much you got.
00:30:25I came here to tell you to stay away.
00:30:27And also to give you this.
00:30:29So what?
00:30:31I'm supposed to be grateful now?
00:30:33Look, I give you a lot of credit.
00:30:35You found me. You're good.
00:30:37This is for you.
00:30:39Thank you.
00:30:41You're welcome.
00:30:44And also to give you this.
00:30:46So what?
00:30:48I'm supposed to be grateful now?
00:30:50Look, I give you a lot of credit.
00:30:52You found me. You're good.
00:30:54This is way over your head.
00:31:02There's $5,000 here.
00:31:04I'm not taking a payoff.
00:31:08Okay, call it what you want.
00:31:10As long as I never see or hear from you again.
00:31:14Okay?
00:31:16I don't want your money.
00:31:18Mr. Franklin, this is Detective Murphy.
00:31:21We need to talk.
00:31:23Hey, hey, hey, hey, where are you going?
00:31:25Jake, this is about the conversation we had earlier today.
00:31:29Jake, I know you're in there.
00:31:31And one way or another, we're going to talk.
00:31:34You can do it here or we can do it down at the station.
00:31:37The choice is yours, but make it now.
00:31:39Jake!
00:31:45Oh, shit.
00:31:47Vince, take the front of the building.
00:31:49Vince, take the front of the building.
00:32:19I didn't know what to do.
00:32:21I mean, this woman comes to my apartment,
00:32:23throws thousands of dollars at me.
00:32:25The cop's at the door, and I don't trust him at all.
00:32:28So I did the only thing that made sense.
00:32:30I left her lousy payoff untouched,
00:32:32and I went after her.
00:32:34Well, at least it made sense at the time.
00:32:44I'm sorry.
00:32:46I'm sorry.
00:33:17Hey, Claire.
00:33:19If that is your name.
00:33:21Look, I'm not going anywhere here till you talk to me, all right?
00:33:24What do you want?
00:33:26Well, could you open the door, please?
00:33:32I told you to stay out of this.
00:33:34Look, that cop Murphy was just at my apartment, okay?
00:33:37Now, if I'd have let him in, he would have seen your dirty money
00:33:39all over the place by now.
00:33:41I'm sorry.
00:33:43If I'd have let him in, he would have seen your dirty money
00:33:45all over the place.
00:33:47But he already has, right?
00:33:49Because you guys are framing me here, huh?
00:33:51I don't know what you're talking about.
00:33:53Sure you do. Sure you do.
00:33:55You and Murphy are working together here,
00:33:57and I'm like the patsy, huh?
00:33:59No. You're a dead man.
00:34:03Would you all just shut up for a second here?
00:34:05I'm trying to carry on a conversation with a jewel thief!
00:34:09Would you just... Could you let me in here, please?
00:34:17I can't protect you anymore.
00:34:23Thank you. Don't mind if I do.
00:34:27What, do you think this is a game?
00:34:29Yeah, some game.
00:34:31Cost me my job, and now I'm a suspect in a felony.
00:34:34Oh, come on. You're the worst security guard I've ever seen.
00:34:38Excuse me?
00:34:40You are eight minutes late to work,
00:34:42every Tuesday and Wednesday.
00:34:44You were watching me?
00:34:46Every day for five weeks.
00:34:50I never saw you.
00:34:52Case closed.
00:34:54Jesus, what, did you just wake up one morning
00:34:56and decide to ruin my life?
00:34:58I didn't forget to lock the safe.
00:35:01No, you didn't.
00:35:04Why didn't you let him kill me?
00:35:06What?
00:35:07You know, the goon down there in the alley.
00:35:09Why'd you stop him?
00:35:11I don't know.
00:35:13You know what? That's the first thing you said that I actually believe.
00:35:17And nothing about this makes any sense.
00:35:19You know, that's exactly why you should stay out of it.
00:35:22Because what you don't know can't kill you.
00:35:25Yes, it can.
00:35:27Okay, it can. You're right.
00:35:29Now go.
00:35:32I mean, you know, you could have had me killed.
00:35:34But instead, you try and bribe me.
00:35:36I should have had him kill you.
00:35:38Yeah, but you see, you didn't, and you even tried to protect me.
00:35:40And that's exactly why you're leaving.
00:35:44No, no, no, no, I'm not.
00:35:46I'm not going anywhere until you give me some real information.
00:35:53And if I don't?
00:35:57I go to the feds, then I go to the press.
00:36:01And you think I'd let you do this?
00:36:06You're no killer.
00:36:15Yeah?
00:36:31Yeah.
00:36:43The guy in the alley who nearly whacked you is my partner.
00:36:46We're going to sell the necklace to a dealer,
00:36:48steal it back, and substitute it with a fake.
00:36:50So you see, in the end, we'll have the necklace back,
00:36:52and then we'll talk.
00:36:54Do you have a car?
00:37:01Okay, I had no idea what she was talking about.
00:37:05But she convinced me that if I helped her,
00:37:07Mrs. Vanderbilt would get her necklace back,
00:37:09and I'd get my name cleared.
00:37:11Was I a little naive? Maybe.
00:37:13But let's face it, I wasn't exactly thinking with my head at that point.
00:37:22Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:37:25What do you want me to do?
00:37:27Just wait here.
00:37:33All right.
00:37:35Wait here.
00:37:37Wait here.
00:38:07Wait here.
00:38:37Wait here.
00:39:07Come on.
00:39:31Come on.
00:39:34You want coffee, Ned?
00:39:36What'd you say, honey?
00:39:38I'm going downstairs. Do you want coffee?
00:39:40I'd love some.
00:39:42You know how I like it, hot, black, and sweet.
00:39:44Hot, black, and sweet.
00:40:02Hey, you.
00:40:06What do you say after breakfast we go back upstairs,
00:40:08pick up where we left off?
00:40:10You're feeling pretty frisky this morning.
00:40:13You have no idea.
00:40:15Ow, Ned!
00:40:17Hey, you, come here.
00:40:21Stop it, Ned, stop it.
00:40:23I'm not in the mood anymore.
00:40:27You're not in the mood.
00:40:29Okay.
00:40:31Clean it up.
00:40:33I'll see you upstairs.
00:40:44Come on.
00:40:56Aah! Aah!
00:40:58Aah!
00:41:03Something touched me.
00:41:05I think it was a mouse.
00:41:07A mouse? What is it?
00:41:09A mouse. I don't know.
00:41:11Go back to bed. I'll help you.
00:41:25Jeez, something happened to you, you know.
00:41:27Drive. All right, all right.
00:41:36Slow down.
00:41:38Slow down?
00:41:42You're going to get us killed driving like this.
00:41:50Well, I thought you were in a hurry here.
00:41:52I am in a hurry, but do you see anyone chasing us?
00:41:58Oh.
00:42:00Just drive.
00:42:02All right.
00:42:12All right.
00:42:32Um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.
00:42:37I'm really sorry. I, uh...
00:42:41I didn't mean to do this.
00:42:46How many times have I told you not to touch the merchandise?
00:42:54Now pick up the broom and get back to work.
00:42:56Yes, sir.
00:43:02Do you want me to go out and get you a cup of coffee or something?
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:13Yeah, as far as I know.
00:43:16I'll tell him.
00:43:19If it ain't good, he'll call.
00:43:21Yeah.
00:43:24Bye.
00:43:41Bye.
00:43:48Morgan, uh, that was Shelly.
00:43:50He says he's got the money and tomorrow's still good.
00:43:53Good. Tell him it was good?
00:43:55Yeah, I told him.
00:43:57Good.
00:43:59Hey, kid, give me a coffee, will you?
00:44:01Yeah. Yes, sir.
00:44:04Whose nephew is he, anyway?
00:44:07Clairbrook. I don't know.
00:44:11Jeez.
00:44:41I don't know.
00:45:11Guess I'll wait here.
00:45:41I'll be right back.
00:46:11Yeah.
00:46:42Piece of cake.
00:46:44So you, uh, you want to tell me what that was all about?
00:46:47Just a little insurance.
00:46:50You just, you really like keeping me in the dark, don't you?
00:46:53Yeah.
00:46:55Well, I'm sorry. I don't work that way.
00:46:57Let's go home.
00:47:00Home? You mean, like, to your place?
00:47:05What?
00:47:07What?
00:47:37No.
00:48:07You sure he'll go for this?
00:48:09Mm-hmm.
00:48:11Boy, I'd love to see the look on his face
00:48:13when he tries to dump the copies.
00:48:15I don't know.
00:48:17I don't know.
00:48:19I don't know.
00:48:21I don't know.
00:48:23I don't know.
00:48:25I don't know.
00:48:27I don't know.
00:48:29I don't know.
00:48:31I don't know.
00:48:33I don't know.
00:48:35Boy, I'd love to see the look on his face
00:48:37when he tries to dump the copies.
00:48:39He's gonna know you made the switch.
00:48:41Who are you talking about? It could have been anybody.
00:48:43Every fence in the world knows you's into hot rocks.
00:48:46Well, don't bet on him not coming after you.
00:48:49Hey, stop making me crazy, all right?
00:48:52Just make the switch.
00:48:55Don't worry.
00:48:57You know something? When somebody tells me to stop worrying,
00:48:59that's when I start worrying.
00:49:01I'm beginning to think I'm the one
00:49:03What would make you say something like that?
00:49:06Just a feeling.
00:49:09Stop worrying.
00:49:11It's gonna be you and me all the way.
00:49:19All the way, huh?
00:49:21Ted, there'll be plenty of time for that later.
00:49:24Let's not put pleasure before business, okay?
00:49:29You just make sure you don't put anything else before business.
00:49:33You hear me?
00:49:58Okay.
00:50:19You checked the necklace before we left?
00:50:21Claire did it.
00:50:23You sure she didn't make a switch?
00:50:25What kind of a stupid question is that?
00:50:27Shut up, will you?
00:50:31Gentlemen, say hello to Martin Holden.
00:50:34How you doing?
00:50:37Gentlemen.
00:50:42Is this sufficient light for you, Martin?
00:50:44I think it'll be just fine.
00:50:47Shall we do some business?
00:50:49That's what we're here for.
00:50:57Okay.
00:51:03Brilliant.
00:51:24Well, Martin?
00:51:26Well, I'm a little surprised, actually.
00:51:30Martin.
00:51:32You know how I hate surprises.
00:51:36It's excellent quality.
00:51:39These are flawless D color stones.
00:51:42Among the finest I've ever seen.
00:51:46Mm-mm.
00:51:52Thank you for your time and expertise, Martin.
00:51:54Always a pleasure.
00:51:57The pleasure's mine.
00:51:59Take it easy.
00:52:03Big T, the vault, please.
00:52:06Mr. Pizzaman, it seems you do deliver.
00:52:10Surprise, surprise, huh?
00:52:18Two million dollars on marked bills.
00:52:20Enjoy the count.
00:52:22Thank you, gentlemen. Always a pleasure.
00:52:25Here.
00:52:27Make yourself useful.
00:52:37I told you I served time.
00:52:39I'm not a waste of time.
00:52:41I'm a man of my word.
00:52:43I'm a man of my word.
00:52:45I'm a man of my word.
00:52:47I'm a man of my word.
00:52:49I'm a man of my word.
00:52:51I'm a man of my word.
00:52:53I served time.
00:52:55Yeah, but you didn't tell me you were a noted gemologist.
00:52:59That's irrelevant.
00:53:01It's just I'm trying to figure out why somebody with your credentials would be involved with these low-lifes.
00:53:11Come on.
00:53:13You're driving.
00:53:15Come on.
00:53:22Ned Shelley is about as corrupt as they come.
00:53:25All right, so, uh, Cary Grant sent you some hot stone.
00:53:29I found out everything he gave me was hot.
00:53:32So he let you take the rap, huh?
00:53:37Yeah.
00:53:39What about now?
00:53:41Look, I'm just trying to get things straight with Shelley.
00:53:43No more, no less.
00:53:47What about the break-ins, you know, and the safe-cracking?
00:53:50Where'd you learn that? Prison?
00:53:52Well, yeah.
00:53:54You got the best teachers at your service 24 hours a day.
00:53:59I can't even begin to imagine how tough it must have been.
00:54:01I would die before I go back there.
00:54:08You don't really mean that, do you?
00:54:13No.
00:54:44All right, so why risk going in there twice?
00:54:47He's got security in there other people haven't even dreamed of yet.
00:54:51And I assume you've, uh, you've found a way around this minor little issue?
00:54:56In theory.
00:54:58Theory.
00:55:00Revenge.
00:55:01In the end, that's what this whole thing was about.
00:55:03See, Claire had spent two years in prison
00:55:05because she had unknowingly cut some hot diamonds
00:55:07for the West Coast's biggest jewel smith.
00:55:10Well, she's still got a chance.
00:55:12She's got a chance.
00:55:14And so will I.
00:55:16I'm gonna go home.
00:55:18Okay.
00:55:20I'm gonna get some more money.
00:55:22I'm gonna get more money.
00:55:24I'm gonna get more money.
00:55:26I'm gonna get more money.
00:55:27I'm gonna get more money.
00:55:28for the West Coast's biggest jewel smuggler.
00:55:30And now it was time for him to pay the piper.
00:55:33Okay, so the basic gist of her plan
00:55:36was to double-cross her old boyfriend, Shelly,
00:55:38the smuggler, by stealing the jewels
00:55:40and replacing them with the phonies she'd carved.
00:55:42Now, I had to help her sneak into Shelly's office building
00:55:45via the building next door.
00:55:46She said we'd use an old phone cable or something,
00:55:48but to be honest, I really wasn't paying attention.
00:55:52Big mistake.
00:55:54Yeah, Claire, I don't think we're done here yet.
00:55:56Great.
00:55:58♪♪
00:56:05♪♪
00:56:13Okay.
00:56:14Uh...
00:56:16Aah!
00:56:17♪♪
00:56:23Aah!
00:56:25Claire?
00:56:26We have a problem here.
00:56:28Oh, my God.
00:56:30Aah!
00:56:31Jake!
00:56:32Aah!
00:56:33♪♪
00:56:39You scared the hell out of me.
00:56:41Are you all right?
00:56:43Yeah.
00:56:44Good.
00:56:46When you dropped the bag...
00:56:48Sorry.
00:56:50♪♪
00:57:00♪♪
00:57:10♪♪
00:57:20♪♪
00:57:30♪♪
00:57:40♪♪
00:57:52Do you know what to do?
00:57:54Yeah, believe it or not.
00:57:56Meet me back in the garage.
00:57:59♪♪
00:58:09♪♪
00:58:19♪♪
00:58:32So while Claire was double-checking
00:58:34the security system,
00:58:35I was on my way to the roof.
00:58:37See, Claire figured the real necklace
00:58:39wouldn't be in Shelly's vault until the weekend,
00:58:41so she devised this elaborate plan
00:58:43to break in during the week
00:58:45to prepare the real switch on Saturday.
00:58:47My job was to set some remote-controlled devices
00:58:49on the elevator motor and other places.
00:58:51That way we'd be able to access the right floors
00:58:53and deactivate the alarms
00:58:55when we came back for the actual switch.
00:58:57Wow.
00:58:59Notice that?
00:59:00I was already thinking of us as we.
00:59:02Huh.
00:59:03♪♪
00:59:06Sounds good.
00:59:07You want to catch a bite to eat now?
00:59:08Yeah, sure.
00:59:09All right, come on.
00:59:10All right.
00:59:11♪♪
00:59:21♪♪
00:59:31♪♪
00:59:41♪♪
00:59:51♪♪
00:59:59♪♪
01:00:05Come on, come on, come on.
01:00:07♪♪
01:00:12Come on.
01:00:13♪♪
01:00:16You're late.
01:00:17Well, it's nice to know you missed me.
01:00:19♪♪
01:00:29♪♪
01:00:39♪♪
01:00:49♪♪
01:00:54Good night.
01:00:55Good night, man.
01:00:57♪♪
01:01:06♪♪
01:01:16No answer.
01:01:17I don't like this.
01:01:19I don't like this at all.
01:01:21I don't trust her.
01:01:24Maybe we forget the whole thing, huh?
01:01:26Keep the two million and blow off the switch.
01:01:30If she's working us, we could end up in cement.
01:01:33Maybe I go tell her for a while, see what she's up to.
01:01:37Yeah.
01:01:42Yeah, keep an eye on her.
01:01:45Don't get made.
01:01:46Keep low, all right?
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:50Did you mind your own business, you hear me?
01:02:00Maybe you ought to think about decaf.
01:02:04What's the problem?
01:02:06It's just like last-minute jitters.
01:02:08I don't know.
01:02:09I'm okay.
01:02:10Let's take it from the top.
01:02:12Okay.
01:02:13You will have to be here at exactly 7.30.
01:02:17I have five minutes to go.
01:02:19Okay.
01:02:20I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:21Okay.
01:02:22I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:23Okay.
01:02:24I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:25Okay.
01:02:26I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:28Okay.
01:02:29I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:30Okay.
01:02:31I'll see you at 7.30.
01:02:32You have five minutes to get in, do your thing, and get out.
01:02:35At least 30 seconds, no more than a minute.
01:02:38No, I mean...
01:02:41I'm going to keep on signaling you.
01:02:43No.
01:02:45I'm going to keep on signaling you.
01:03:16Yeah.
01:03:20You're who?
01:03:24How'd you get this number?
01:03:27Okay, okay, well, just tell me.
01:03:32I must think I'm a complete idiot.
01:03:37Wait a minute, excuse me.
01:03:41How do I know this isn't a set-up?
01:03:46Well, if it's true, I owe you.
01:03:50So what, are you getting dialed up for your lover boy?
01:04:07What the hell are you doing here?
01:04:12Yeah, right.
01:04:14So what about this kid, huh?
01:04:18Where'd you find some time in your busy schedule
01:04:20for some extracurricular activity?
01:04:23He's the guard from the hotel.
01:04:25He figured out who I was.
01:04:27I'm just keeping him quiet.
01:04:30I'll keep him quiet.
01:04:32Oh, put that away, Morgan.
01:04:34Don't be stupid.
01:04:35I've got the situation under control.
01:04:41So are you sneaking around behind my back
01:04:43keeping things from me?
01:04:44So I'm supposed to what?
01:04:46Just back off and trust you on this one?
01:04:54I didn't tell you because I knew you'd react like this.
01:04:58So why is he still around?
01:05:00He thinks we're gonna go get the necklace tonight
01:05:02and I'm gonna give it to him
01:05:03so he can run to the cops and make good.
01:05:06And he thinks I'm gonna double-cross you.
01:05:10Oh, yeah?
01:05:12I'm not that stupid.
01:05:16Nobody's that stupid.
01:05:22So I'm supposed to believe this kid is dumb enough
01:05:24to think that you're gonna give him the van to build?
01:05:27Well, let's just say he's naive.
01:05:30How am I supposed to believe that?
01:05:32You don't have to.
01:05:35Meet me when we do the switch.
01:05:37You can be right there with us.
01:05:39Then when we're finished, you can whack him.
01:05:42Why not now?
01:05:44I still need him.
01:05:46What has he got that we can't do?
01:05:48Well, he's memorized the blueprints and schematics,
01:05:51and you don't know the difference
01:05:52between a blueprint and a comic book.
01:05:55That isn't nice.
01:05:57Look, I couldn't use you
01:05:58because the guards know you at Shelley's.
01:06:01They'd have made you the first time we cased the place.
01:06:09What if this kid goes to the cops?
01:06:11I told him I would never do any more time.
01:06:14And he's in love with me.
01:06:16He's not gonna hurt me.
01:06:18All right.
01:06:20But after tonight, Shank whacks him.
01:06:23Are you good with that?
01:06:25Couldn't care less.
01:06:34Hey.
01:06:36Guess I should have grabbed another pizza, huh?
01:06:42Beat it, kid.
01:06:44We're talking business here.
01:06:47You need any help, Claire?
01:06:49She don't need no help.
01:06:54Claire?
01:06:55It's okay, Jake. I'll see you tonight.
01:06:58Yeah, you can get the diamonds back.
01:07:00Just go, Jake.
01:07:04I don't get it.
01:07:05What are you gonna do, like,
01:07:06yank me along here or what?
01:07:07Why don't you take a walk, kid,
01:07:09while these things are still working?
01:07:12Fine, maybe I'll just go and do
01:07:14what I probably should have done from the start.
01:07:16Hey, Shorty.
01:07:19Little piece of information for you.
01:07:23I got a lot of friends on the police force
01:07:25in case you have any loved ones
01:07:28that need protecting.
01:07:35I guess they got no choice.
01:07:38Not much of one.
01:07:40Look, it's just basically pulling wires
01:07:42and pressing buttons.
01:07:44Okay, but I know where, I know when.
01:07:47If I sit this out, you got a problem.
01:07:49Ten percent.
01:07:59Five.
01:08:00Ten.
01:08:01Five percent. It comes out of her end.
01:08:03I want ten percent.
01:08:04I don't care whose end it comes out of.
01:08:09Okay.
01:08:17Kid's got potential.
01:08:38Okay.
01:09:08Hey.
01:09:25So now I'm telling Murphy everything.
01:09:27Blueprints, timing, everything.
01:09:30I'll tell you, I'd be lying if I didn't say I was scared.
01:09:33Because the fact is, I couldn't know for sure
01:09:35whether I was playing or being played.
01:09:37I wouldn't know till the very end,
01:09:39which I was thinking might be mine.
01:09:45Hey.
01:09:47Uh, what's a three-letter word for sub-seat?
01:09:52Sub-seat.
01:09:55Con.
01:10:07Con.
01:10:17Looks like your boy's gonna be a no-show.
01:10:19He'll show.
01:10:22If he goes to the cops.
01:10:24He's not going to the cops.
01:10:32You're late.
01:10:34Fire me.
01:10:36Fire you.
01:10:38Fire you.
01:10:39I'll kill you!
01:10:40Enough!
01:10:46Listen, Mike.
01:10:50See you in 45 minutes?
01:10:58I would have whacked him when I had the chance.
01:11:01Yeah, well, you'll get the chance soon enough.
01:11:05Yeah.
01:11:35Come on.
01:12:05You all right?
01:12:35Yeah.
01:12:51Hey, Claire.
01:12:56I'll hold on to that.
01:13:05Come on.
01:13:35Come on.
01:14:05Come on.
01:14:06Come on.
01:14:34Jay.
01:14:35I'm all at room floor.
01:14:36Let me know when you're in position.
01:14:44All right, Claire, I'm in.
01:14:45Good.
01:14:46I'm ready when you are.
01:14:47Here goes.
01:14:51Any time now.
01:14:54Tell me you're not having a problem up there.
01:14:59A little feedback would be good here, Jay.
01:15:01Yeah, yeah.
01:15:06Uh...
01:15:07Jake, what's happening?
01:15:22Okay, I'm in.
01:15:23Meet me on the vault floor.
01:15:24Got it.
01:15:35Okay.
01:16:05Okay.
01:16:35Okay.
01:16:51Okay, so far, so good.
01:16:54So far.
01:17:06Ready?
01:17:20Ooh.
01:17:21I thought it would all be out in the open.
01:17:24Can you open it?
01:17:28We shall see.
01:17:36Ooh.
01:17:43Pretty swift.
01:18:06This is how much you figure all this stuff's worth.
01:18:10Yeah, there's a rose-colored diamond.
01:18:12It's about 800,000 retail.
01:18:16You always did have a good eye.
01:18:23I thought you were gonna stay in the car.
01:18:27Yeah.
01:18:29Well, I thought I'd check out the action.
01:18:36You make the switch?
01:18:37Yeah.
01:18:38Good.
01:18:41Uh, wait a second.
01:18:42Where's my half?
01:18:45Oh, you and me all the way, babe.
01:18:48Remember?
01:18:52Getting any lately, shorty?
01:18:59Shank, take care of her.
01:19:02Oh, you are so predictable.
01:19:05So predictable, Morgan.
01:19:11I hope you got Shelly figured out as good as you got me.
01:19:15Someone certainly does.
01:19:25Ned.
01:19:35I made a mistake and that belongs to me.
01:19:40I think you got the wrong idea, Ned.
01:19:46Don't play me.
01:19:49It's stupid.
01:19:52All right, so all this time she's been working with you?
01:19:57No.
01:19:58I just got a call this afternoon.
01:20:02Hello, Claire.
01:20:03Been a long time.
01:20:11Thank you.
01:20:16You still take my breath away.
01:20:28This is $40,000 or $50,000.
01:20:29I was told you were getting half.
01:20:33There's supposed to be $500,000 here.
01:20:36I gave him $2 million.
01:20:42And he told you it was one.
01:20:49LAPD, weapons down.
01:20:51Put the gun down.
01:20:54And put your hands behind your head.
01:21:03Do what he says, T.
01:21:10You all have the right to remain silent.
01:21:13Excuse me.
01:21:14This is private property.
01:21:15You got a warrant?
01:21:17We heard that there was a robbery in progress.
01:21:19Not from me.
01:21:20It didn't.
01:21:21And I own this place.
01:21:22Now get out of here before I press charges.
01:21:24Oh, you're Ned Shelly.
01:21:26That's right.
01:21:28And you have the right to remain silent.
01:21:30I will not remain silent, and I want a damn lawyer.
01:21:33Stay away from the jewels.
01:21:36I'm taking those.
01:21:38That's my property!
01:21:42Did you do this, Jake?
01:21:46I'm sorry.
01:21:48Yeah, well, I told you I was never going back.
01:21:55Claire, Claire, don't do this.
01:21:56Claire!
01:21:57Stop now!
01:21:59He's got a gun!
01:22:11Get an R.A. unit up here right away.
01:22:13And get those guys out of here.
01:22:16Get our medics to the fifth floor, ASAP.
01:22:19Aw, Claire, why'd you do that, huh?
01:22:21Why'd you do that?
01:22:22You didn't have to do that.
01:22:24You had to be a good guy.
01:22:26You gave me no choice.
01:22:29Do you still love me?
01:22:31Yes.
01:22:32Yes.
01:22:33I'm sorry.
01:22:34Okay.
01:23:0410-7, I'm testing with your message.
01:23:06Whose case, which search group?
01:23:087-6-7-8-6-Roger.
01:23:10No-1-1-David-10-9-9-9-6-Check-In-CRC.
01:23:147-85-No-Record-In-CRC.
01:23:17Five-three-four-five-six-five-seven-six-seven-eight-one-two-three.
01:23:20What's the matter, sir?
01:23:22Who's that calling for now, eh?
01:23:24I'm being inside, man.
01:23:25Man, I'm close.
01:23:26I'm not even here.
01:23:28Get the fuck out.
01:23:29No.
01:23:30No, I'm not even here.
01:23:31Warning, this is 1-3-0-0-1.
01:23:33Please stand and remain in your spot.
01:23:35This is 1-3-0-0-1.
01:23:37Please stand and remain in your spot.
01:23:39This is 1-3-0-0-1.
01:23:41This is 1-3-0-0-1.
01:24:00Did they buy it?
01:24:01Are you kidding?
01:24:02Of course they bought it, even I bought it.
01:24:04You guys were great, I mean BOTH of you, great, I'm not kidding.
01:24:07Talk about overacting.
01:24:09Hey, hey, hey, under the circumstances, you know, I think I did a pretty good job, all right?
01:24:13So don't even start...
01:24:13All right, listen, we've got some important matters to discuss.
01:24:17Uh, Jason, I've got some papers and a ticket for you.
01:24:21Tickets, passport, no ID.
01:24:23Hey, that's, that's, that's the sketchy guy who...
01:24:26Yeah, yeah, he's one of us.
01:24:27I've been covering you from the get-go.
01:24:32You gonna give me a nice funeral?
01:24:35I got nothing in the budget for nights.
01:24:38What about the money?
01:24:39A deal is a deal, Jason.
01:24:43Just as we promised, $40,000.
01:24:47Well, hardly makes up for two years in prison.
01:24:51I just hope they get some serious time.
01:24:53That isn't up to me, but we've been trying to nail him for ten years,
01:24:56and this will be the best case that we've ever had.
01:24:59I'm gonna move up front and leave you two alone for a few minutes.
01:25:05So, uh, I don't know, I guess this is it.
01:25:09Yeah, I guess so.
01:25:11Hey, uh, you won't forget about me, will you?
01:25:15Not a chance.
01:25:17Yeah.
01:25:35You have to understand, Heather, I couldn't let her go.
01:25:58I mean, she would have gone into hiding, and I never would have seen her again.
01:26:03I love you, Steve, and I miss you a lot.
01:26:06I think about you often, and I've included a picture of us so you know we're okay.
01:26:10Hey, but listen, you gotta throw it away along with this letter.
01:26:12I'm not kidding about that.
01:26:14If anybody asks, just tell them I've joined the CIA.
01:26:17I like the way that sounds.
01:26:20You've, uh, probably noticed I sent along the keys to my car.
01:26:23I left it parked at 4th and Grant.
01:26:25I trust you'll take good care of her for me.
01:26:28Oh, and, uh, one last thing.
01:26:30You may want to check the glove box as soon as possible.
01:26:34Love and peace, your big brother, Jake.
01:27:00Yeah, I got it.
