[instrumental music]


Oh, look! Be careful.


- Here you go. - Thank you.


- You handsome little devil. - Thanks.


[music continues]


Okay, you keep your mouth shut, old man.


Shh.


- Come on. Do it. - Where is your money?


- Take it. - Where's your money?


What's in the bag? What's in the bag, huh?


- Oh, it's just math. - What's in the bag?


Oh, you're just holdin' on a little tight, huh


for math.


Let's just take a look and see..


You, you shouldn't have lied to uh, daddy.


[grunting]


- Oh, my God! - Steve!


Help! Somebody please help him! They're hurting him!


[tires squealing]


[instrumental music]


(Spenser) We all have heroes.


Mine was Arthur Demetrius Reynolds.


Was, is, will be.


I hadn't seen Arthur for over a year.


But I would've given my right arm


to have been with him morn.


The least I could do was offer him


a ride home from the hospital.


(Frank) 'Yeah.'


'Right.'


Uh, yeah, right, I'll get on it right away.


Spenser, I'm glad you're here, I gotta take off.


- How is he? - Ah, he's gonna make it.


Doc's with him now.


Right now he's a lot of different colors.


- Mostly black and blue. - What happened?


Got hit by some muggers, real beauties.


- They did a job on him. - Did he get a look at 'em?


Nah, not really. We just got a general description.


I'm gonna bring him in later and have him look over


they mugshots when he's feelin' up to it.


- Where is he? - He's right down there.


Hey, Spenser, before you go in there's something


you oughta know, we had some witnesses through the att*ck


they said a pouch Arthur was carrying was loaded with money.


- Thousands of dollars. - What're you sayin'?


You tell me, what's a retired cop do


with that kinda money out on the street?


- Well, why don't you ask him? - I already did.


His story ain't that great.


So the intern comes over to me and says


"How many holes have we got to sow up?"


You ready for that? He's askin' me!


So I say to him, "Bring me a glass of water Charlie


and we'll see how many leaks I spring."


Okay, Mr. Reynolds, now easy.


- Yeah. - Okay, easy now. That's it.


- Yeah. - Okay.


And then the nurse came over to me and said..


Ah!


"Light breaks where no sun shines."


"Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart


push in their tide."


Hello, Arthur.


- You sure you're alright? - Eh, why wouldn't I be? Huh?


Doctor said you should stay at least the night.


Ah, they always say that.


That's because they got fancy boats and homes


on the Cape to pay for.


Something bother you, lad?


I saw Belson on the way in.


(Arthur) 'Ah, the man has no humor.'


'Face of stone.'


(Spenser) '"Tell that its sculptor well those passions read."'


(Arthur) 'Ah, you remember your Shelley, huh?'


Had a good teacher.


- Ah, it's been too long. - Yeah.


Much too long.


Nothing's the same anymore.


'It's a poor neighborhood, full of ghosts'


'Since Maggie d*ed.'


Ah, I thought I'd lose the house.


Thank good for insurance.


And the kindness of strangers.


Well, Arthur, you got a lot of friends, you know?


I guess I need them.


Sure can't take care of myself anymore.


Come on, that could happen to anybody.


No, Spenser, only to an old bird


who's gone soft and careless in old age.


I'm not the man I was.


- 'Ah!' - 'There he is.'


[clapping]


Hear ye, hear ye!


I have a small announcement.


Dues to circumstances beyond my control, um..


The joyful wake we all expected has been temporarily postponed.


[laughing]



But I'll accept your kind donations, uh..


...just the same.


Oh, Timothy, you got that for my funeral.


I'd rather have you sing a song when the time comes.


Ah!


Oh, if you'll excuse me for a moment


I-I'll just freshen up and..


You remember Spenser here, huh?


My former partner in crime.


What did Frank Belson tell you?


That the punks got away with a bundle.


Oh, they did that!


How much?


Eight thousand.


I guess you know what the next question is.


I should, I taught you to ask it.


The ponies, lad, the ponies.


I was on a roll for days.


Winnin' plays, winnin' play.


Had a sure bet in the card.


Then somebody up there pulled the rug.


Any nag I put my money on was sure to contract


some great paralytic disease in the back stretch.


So I used my God given Irish brains


and threw good money after bad.


Eight thousand later, I had the boys with the broken noses


looking at me real mean.


I was on my way to paying them off, uh


but those two in the park had another idea.


So you're still in the hole eight big ones.


On the mark.


I'll cut you a bank check tomorrow.


- Ah-- - Not charity, Arthur, look..


You're crazy. I'm not taking your money.


And I'm gonna give you five years to pay it back.


It's not charity. If you don't pay it back


I'm comin' after you.


I'm not taking your money.


Besides, I don't need it.


What, do you got a tree this stuff grows on?


I got more than a tree. I got a business.


Since when do you have a business?


Oh, since I last saw you, uh..


...almost a year ago, come December.


What kinda business.


Security, watchmen in factories


and supermarkets, health clubs.


I tell you Spenser, if I had known how easy it is


to make money, I'd have retired years ago.


Hi, Arthur. Been hidin''?


The owner said to bring the bar whiskey.


- Not the, uh, imported stuff. - Ooh!


Now there's goodness in your heart, O'Rourke.


Top shelf of the kitchen pantry. Not to high, huh.


You see what I see?


Ah.


"The enemy faints not nor faileth." Huh?


You wanna bet?


I did, that's why they're here.


You gentlemen care to sign the guest register?


- Hey! Hey! - Come on, let's go. Let's go.


Come on!


What the hell do you think you're doin'?


This is part of our personal friendly service.


I'm checking valuables.


Alright, turn around. Face the camera.


What do we got here?


Amusement corporation.


Were you gonna use this to get the money out of him?


What the hell are you talkin' about?


We came here to see how he was doin'?


Oh, he's doin' really fine


and he's gonna pay up, eventually.


Meanwhile, why don't the two of you go in and pay your respects.


Do it politely.


You know, you have got to be crazy,


I've been accused of that from time to time.


From now on you got any business with Arthur


I'm right behind ya.


Now go on.


[coins clattering]


I feel real sorry to hear what happened, uh..


[indistinct chatter]


Okay, take care.


(Susan) 'What're you doing?'


'You mean if I don't jump you you get to jump me?'


(Spenser) Those are the rules, lady, I don't make 'em up


I just live by 'em.


[chuckling]


[sighs] Hm.


Just doesn't figure.


Never saw the guy gamble a day in his life


and suddenly he's Nick The Greek.


Well, he's getting older.


He lives alone.


Maybe he just started playing out of boredom.


Even if I buy that, he doesn't suddenly become stupid.


He knows the rules, if the boys got your name on a marker


you don't go to them, they come to you.


Well, you said he was a charmer.



Maybe he thought he'd talk 'em out of it.


It's just not like him.


Walk around with a bundle of cash unarmed.


You know you're under surveillance?


About four foot nine. Dark hair.


'Heavy grey sweater, blue jeans.'


- 'All of years-old.' - Donald Watson


- He your client? - 'Mm-hm.'


His father asked me to see him after his mom d*ed


in a car accident a few months ago.


Since the funeral he started running away.


- Mm-hm. - Never far and not for long.


But often. Usually ends up camped out on my doorstep.


- You're the substitute. - Mm-hm.


When he's lonely I'm the mother he wants back.


Trouble is his dad is really his step-father.


Were married for less than a year before the accident.


They haven't had a chance to connect up.


Right.


I don't feel I've made much progress with him, either.


You know, maybe I better call Mr. Watson


tell him everything's okay.


Although he seems to cope with everything okay.


'It's amazing how well some people'


'can deal with their problems.'


'Hello, can I speak to Mr. Watson?'


'It's Susan Silverman.'


Emerald Amusement Corporation.


[tense music]


Your brother should be here by now.


Relax.


How long does it take to steel some wheels?


Hey, Joey knows what he's doin', okay?


Another hour and we'll be out of the berg.


Start enjoyin' the money.


Instead of worrying about where it come from.


Yeah, yeah. I know where it came from.


There's only one type of person that's got the type of money.


No!


[g*n f*ring]


Amateurs.


It's punk like this makin' the streets unsafe nowadays.


[tense music]


Let's get out of here.


Alright, what's this all about?


Well, I'm not supposed to say anything, Spenser


but they got a couple of stiffs down here


and they think they might be tied to Arthur.


- Who's the DA? - Trench.


Solomon Trench.


Now, you take it easy on this guy Spenser


he's liable to eat you for lunch.


Okay.


You Spenser?


Damn, there go all those aliases I thought up on the way over.


- Heard you were a comic. - Heard you work, Mr. Trench.


Look, before we do something stupid


like get to know each other better


you wanna tell me what this is all about?


What do you know about Arthur Reynolds?


- He's a friend. - Friend?


Want me to explain that word to you?


No, don't strain your intellect.


What I'm interested in is what kinda dirty business


your friend is into.


You seem to know more about it than I do.


And I'm gonna share what I know with you, Spenser.


Just because we got off to such a great start.


Your friend, Arthur's satchel.


You figure that's the only one like that on the planet?


Arthur Reynold's monogrammed ring.


And his watch, inscribed from the boys of the precinct.


No doubt ripped out with the satchel.


Only then it had money in it.


Bundles of it, according to witnesses.


That's what the punks took from Arthur.


And that's what somebody took back from the punks.


Somebody with muscle and a gauge shotgun.


We're talkin' big league, Spenser.


Who's your friend tied in with? Who's he carrying money for?


- Why don't you ask him? - I did.


And I got a load of bull!


Bottom line is, outside of his pension


he's got no visible source of income.


- He's got a business. - I said visible.


And so I'm asking you, Spenser, in a very nice way


and if you hold something back I'm gonna nail you to the wall


for obstruction of justice.


'Might even send that PI license'


you got out of a gumball machine up in smoke.


How's that grab ya?


You always sugarcoat it like that?


[instrumental music]


Yeah, I heard your teeth grinding for the last miles.


Anybody I know?


You ever heard of an assistant DA Solomon Trench?


Damn, now you gonna get my teeth grinding.


He thinks Arthur's carrying mob money.


And what do you think?


Well, I dig in that case.



Why you out joggin' instead of wreakin'


your well known vengeance on that street meat


that roughed up old Arthur?


Somebody b*at me to it. They're packed in ice.


Ah-ha, now the picture of DA Trench and your friend


becomes clear.


Yeah, Trench is lookin' to make a headline


he's not gonna do it at Arthur's expense.


I see a job on the horizon.


Yeah, I could use some help.


Gotta find out who's holdin' a marker on Arthur.


Anything else?


You, uh, ever heard of a company


called the Emerald Amusement corporation?


Negative.


They may hold the marker on Arthur.


I looked everywhere, I can't find 'em.


- They gotta be some place. - Over the rainbow!


- Hey, Arthur! - Hi, Billy!


Oh, it's good to see ya.


Oh, nothin' much changed.


People get older, die.


Well, there's a cheery thought.


When you retire you think about such things.


Ah, good evening, Mr. Wall.


- Remember the stick-up here? - My first day on the job.


Ah, clever boys.


Lighting a gasoline b*mb to create a diversion.


But we had 'em all surrounded, huh?


Nah, you had 'em surrounded, saved my hide.


"Ah, learn to live, live to learn."


"Ignorance like a fire doth burn."


Ah, there's hope for you, lad.


- Mr. Reynolds. - What is it, laddie?


You comin' to the center tonight?


Ah, not tonight, I'm with a friend.


We've got a lot to talk about.


Alright, Mr. Arthur. How you feelin'?


Body of steel, Larry. Body of steel.


Alright. You take care.


Six months ago Larry was arrested for shoplifting.


Record expunged by the court because of his age.


Now he's captain of our boxing team.


- Boy's gonna make it. - How about you?


You head what I told the boy.


I feel great!


Except for a touch of the thirst.

Whoo!


[cheering]


Oh, Arthur, you haven't lost your grand voice.


- Sing Spenser, it's your turn. - No, no.


[indistinct chatter]


If you don't sing you have to buy drinks


for the entire house, including me.


Then I'm buying drinks for the house.


- 'Cause I can't sing. - Oh, sing!


[indistinct chatter]


♪ He robbed the rich he help the poor ♪


♪ His brother wore a dress ♪♪


Those are not the words at all, man.


[laughing]


Ah, you'll do better next time.


- 'No, I won't. No, I won't.' - And so will I.


Arthur, it's good to see you.


Ah, at least the lyric you remembered was a noble one.


"Rob the rich, help the poor."


It tells something about the people


who's heroes are outlaws or poets.


Both fighting for justice.


One with the pen, the other..


...anyway they can.


Still chasing those windmills, huh?


They're only windmills to heathens.


You used to see the giants.


- Ah, when I was younger. - Yeah.


Weren't we all, huh?


Hey, O'Rourke!


You wouldn't be leaving us dry?


- Nah, comin' up. - Here, let me get it.


No, no, no, no. Put that away. Put that away!


I told you a hundred times, I don't need it.


That's right, you're rolling in it.


You forgot. Here's to rolling.


To rolling!


Much better than being rolled.


Arthur, about your security company..


What about it?


Well, until you get those bandages off



why don't you let me come out--


No, that's good of you, Spenser.


No, I'd expect no less.


But I don't need your help.


I've got a staff to take care of things for me now.


Thanks just the same.


Ah, it's good to see you, Spenser.


We had some good times, didn't we?


We still do.


I mean, nothing's changed.


Oh, everything's changed.


I mean, live is like that. You'll see.


I'll see.


Old age.


It's a chill wind when you're not prepared.


For me..


Here, grab what it takes to pay the man.


I go visit the Johny-boy.


[instrumental music]


(Spenser) After putting Arthur to bed I found an all night diner


for some ham and eggs.


And thoughts of guilt for not trusting a friend.


But the I say that Quincey Road


was nothing but a boarded up building.


And it only made it all the more painful.


[instrumental music]


(Spenser) Somebody once said that the cruelest lie


is often told in silence.


In my case it was told out loud


by a friend.


It makes you feel cheated.


You wanna start breaking up the joint.


Most of all you wanna wake up and find it all never happened.


(Hawk) 'Time for a weather report, babe.'


There's a bad storm comin'.


But you look like you know that already.


Don't go out of your way to cheer me up.


Try this, you friend done take any of that bread


to the bookmakers or the loan sharks.


- Is there more. - I went over the rainbow, babe.


All the way to Emerald City, and guess who the wizard is.


Barney Leopold.


Barney Leopold.


Man keeps his dope and prostitution business goin'


while everybody else seems to be shuttin' down.


I wonder as I wonder.


- Pay offs. - 'Mm-mh.'


'You friends shows up at Leopold's office'


'first of every month, always leaves'


with a canvas bag.


Word is that tomorrow he's gonna be there


to take the bread Leopold took back from the pissants.


- I can't believe it. - But you know it's true.


Rain!


(Spenser) They say the truth is always there


in the unconscious mind


if you're willing to take a peek.


I had been doing my best to avoid it.


Hey.


What's with the boy?


- You know that kid? - Well, sort of, yeah.


The, uh, truant officer brought him in


when he wouldn't give his name, they caught him hitchhiking


on Stellar Dive, he almost got run over.


Did you call Susan?


Yeah, I did, as soon as the kid mentioned.


- Oh, good. Thanks. - Uh, Spenser.


You said you wanted to talk about Arthur?


Uh, I changed my mind, I think Arthur can take care of himself.


Suit yourself, you don't want a lot of deadbeat friends


I'd just go around pickin' up the pieces.


- You're Donald, right? - How'd you know?


Ms. Silverman told me about you.


She's a friend of mine.


What'd she say?


She said your dad's gonna be needing me real soon.


- What for? - I find people.


You with the police?


Well, no, I used to be, but, uh, now I'm a private cop.


Yeah, well, my dad won't need you anyway.


Most of the time he doesn't even know I'm gone.


- Is that right? - Yeah.


We don't even talk in the mornings


and at night he just sits and drinks.


Alright, who took my lunch?


- Come on. - 'No, Tommy, not me.'


(Tommy) 'Don't give me that.'


Sit down.


Has it always been like that?


No, it was better before.


Mm. Before your mom d*ed.


- You miss her a lot, huh? - Yeah.


You think your dad misses her too?


I don't know.


He's not even my real dad, anyway.


You like him?


You know, Donald, uh..


...nobody can replace your parents.


They're the most special people in the whole world.


But you know what I found?



You can learn to care about other people almost as much.


People who need you.


Love you.


Not my stepdad.


Why?


''Cause he just sits around and won't talk?'


'Maybe he's thinkin' about your mom.'


Maybe it hurts him as much as it hurts you.


You know, people aren't always what they seem.


I've learned that too.


Hey, you ever talk about your stepdad to Ms. Silverman?


No, but I don't wanna talk about him.


I know, but maybe you ought to.


She's real smart, you know, and, uh..


...maybe it could help.


Hello, cutie, you goin' my way?


Uh, depends on where you goin'?


- I was talking to Donald. - See how you are.


So this is how you get your dates, huh?


- I'm a desperate woman. - I can see that in your eye.


You okay?


Excuse us.


I had a little talk with the boy, uh..


You said his father's adjusting to this alright?


- Yeah. - You talk to him?


I've been trying, but he's always so busy.


Ah, then you better try harder.


I think Donald wants to talk to you about his stepfather.


I have a feeling Mr. Watson's gonna wanna do some talking too.


- Okay. - But I'm no expert.


You are, right? See ya.


Hey, Donald. be good.


Behave yourself, she's still my girl, alright?


[instrumental music]


(Spenser) I hated not being truthful to Belson


but the fact is I wasn't ready


to throw in the towel on Arthur.


No until the final round.


[music continues]


[music continues]


[music continues]


[music continues]


Good afternoon. Green is definitely your color.


Just a minute.


I'm sorry Mr. Melchior, I tried to stop him.


Who are you?


Where is it? What've you done with it?


Call security, Gladys, now!


I want an officer up here, right away!


Gladys, get a guard up here!


We'll have one more witness when you're indicted.


I don't know who you think you are


or what the hell you're doing


but I'll give you some good advice, you better--


It's not what I'm doing, commissioner.


It's what I've done, marked a trail from Leopold


to Arthur, to you.


My, my, my.


You were gonna throw away this perfectly good money, were you?


If I were you I'd spend it real quick.


[instrumental music]


[music continues]


Took the liberty of ordering Irish whiskey for two


if you'll still drink with me.


When'd you pick me up?


Not till I came out of Melchior's office.


- When did you start? - The pool hall.


First class job of surveillance, bucko.


Makes me proud of my pupil.


I wish I could say the same about you.


Spenser, don't jump to conclusions.


- Just because I came out-- - Stop it, alright!


I've heard enough lies.


I know the whole story.


Leopold, the money, the pay offs.


'Carried by you each month to Melchior's office.'


You're keeping Barney Leopold in business.


What's you cut? Ten?


Fifteen percent?


I know it's more than car fair.


And you needed a phoney business to show a source of income.


Reynolds Security, Quincy Road.


'You ran down the crime.'


But you don't know the story.


We walked the b*at the other day, you and me, remember?


There was a kid on the skateboard, Larry, the boxer.


Talking about the community center?


It used to be a shoe store.


Went out of business when the malls came in.


I took over the lease.


I put in a boxing ring, a record plater and books.


Lots of books.


Those kids deserved a chance.


Nobody was giving them that.


The only problem was there was no money.


Somebody had to pay for it.


So I thought, wouldn't it be dandy


if I could arranged for a toad like Barney Leopold


to pay for those kids future.


Only he didn't know it.



All he knew he was paying me once a month


t-t-to deliver the money to city hall.


Which he would do anyway.


But as long as I was the bagman


those kids were getting the break.


Was that so wrong?


It's not for me to judge.


I'm asking, was the so wrong, Spenser?


You're the teacher, you tell me!


Ah.


I don't know any longer what's right or what's wrong.


Maggie d*ed..


...and I was left poor with the funeral.


What's my pension worth?


Two dollars and a cab fair?


After years?


I needed more.


I wanted more.


So it wasn't all just for the kids.


'No, it was for myself, too.'


I'm getting older.


And afraid.


So, I-I, I thought I..


...I thought I deserve more, before I die.


You should've found another way.


There was no other way.


You gonna turn me in, Spenser?


Are you gonna turn me in?


[instrumental music]


You haven't answered me yet, Spenser.


You gonna blow the whistle?


[dog barking in distance]


I don't think I can face it.


Not after years in the force.


Retired with honors.


Oh, it's not the shame of the thing


although that's bad enough.


But you know what happens with cops who end up among those..


...they helped put away.


No!


[g*n fires]


[tires squealing]


You alright?


- Yeah, but he'll be back. - I'm ready.


What? To take out Leopold?


Oh, I'll take care of him and more like him.


Time when you could, but not anymore!


I'm not afraid!


I learned that about you years ago.


But Leopold will k*ll you.


There's only one way to take him out for good.


[instrumental music]


Melchior?


Why didn't you come in and name the pope!


It's incredible.


There's even been talk of the man running for mayor.


He's always protected his squeaky clean image.


Here he is takin' money from a slim like Barney Leopold.


- It's.. - The money turned him.


Will you come in and tell it to a grand jury?


- Do I have a choice? - Not really.


If you refuse I'll indict you anyhow.


[chuckles] Lovely man.


It still doesn't mean your troubles are over.


That bit of target practice in front of your house..


...there might be more of it.


I'll arrange for police protection.


No thanks.


We're talking high level corruption here


maybe even cops involved, uh..


We'll take care of our own protection, thanks.


[instrumental music]


Hey, we're closed, man.


Like your mouth oughta be, man.


Well, well, well.


What a pleasant surprise.


If it isn't Mr. Wise-buck with the quarters.


I wanna see Barney Leopold.


Why don't you, and, uh..


...your friend over there just turn it around


and head on back out while you can still walk.


How'd he know you were my friend?


[grunting]


That's for sh**t' at me. Now, where is he?


Okay, he's out back.


Think we oughta call him out here?


How do you call a wizard?


You wanna see how? Watch this.


[clattering]


[glass shattering]


[clattering]


[shattering]


Hey, Barney, nice day, huh?


Take him.


Not a good idea.


[g*n fires]


Well, we got one wounded man here, Barney!


You wanna go for some dead ones?


We can lay you all out here on the tables.


Nice little funeral parlor.



Yeah, so your one friend can come by and pay his respects.


What is it you want?


If it's money I'll give it to ya.


- You like the Celtics? - Yeah.


I like the Celtics.


He likes the Celtics.


I got a friend named Arthur Reynolds


you know what, he likes the Celtics, too.


Now me and my friends, we're gonna be rooting


for the Celtics for a long time to come.


Unless you got some other ideas.


No!


That's good. That's real good.


Now, if you've got a real good memory


you may not see us again.


[tense music]


Grand jury is at .


Will you be taking calls?


I don't think so.


[dramatic music]


[music continues]


[knocking on door]


[music continues]


Mr. Melchior, the Randolph contract came in


'do you want me to..'


Mr. Melchior?


- How you feel? - Tiered.


And thirsty.


There's a coffee shop across the street.


You! Damn you!


Damn you!


[g*ns f*ring]


Arthur! Get down!


[indistinct shouting]


Hey!


- Spenser. - Don't talk. Come on.


- How is it? - Don't worry about it.


- We'll talk about it now. - Is it that bad?


Why'd you do it? We were about to take him down!


I'm not fast enough, Bucko.


- He had the draw. - You shouldn't have done it.


I couldn't help it.


I'm still a cop.


A damn good one.


Thanks, Spenser.


Thanks.


It's good to hear..


I didn't ever wanna disappoint you. Not ever.


That was the worst of it.


No. You didn't, Arthur.


- I was.. - Look, you're gonna be fine.


Thanks. Thanks.


You're gonna be okay.


Alright? Arthur?


You're gonna make it. You hear me?


Come on, hang on.


God!


You're gonna be fine. You're gonna make it.


You're gonna make it.

An awful lot of people loved him.


That was easy.


All you had to do was get to know him.


I saw Donald Watson and his father together


in a session yesterday.


We talked about grief.


About what a complex emotion it is.


How it can suffocate you, strangle you at first.


I think that they finally realized


that it can come to an end eventually.


Yours will too, Spenser.


Yeah.

A toasts!


- To Arthur! - To Arthur!


Long may he sing in heaven.


(Spenser) I realized there was only one fitting way to grieve


for Arthur Demetrius Reynolds.


As he would have it, with drink and song.


His friends weren't mourning a loss


they were celebrating the life of a man


who had touched them with his love and brought them joy.


After all, isn't that a true measure of a mans life?


Hey, Spenser!


- To life! - To life!
