Goodie?
Hi, Arvery.
I'll take care of the candles.
I'll be taking them.
Uh, Fred, we need some more skies from out back.
Goodie, would you okay this?
That's your money, right?
Yeah.
Then how come you're so happy you just gave yourself a big tip?
Oh, I was thinking of Jesse.
He's going places.
Goodie's got a real talent.
He could be one of those child prodigies.
Takes after his grandfather.
Takes after him and went right on paths.
And when he gets to that center of performing arts with real teachers,
he's gonna be uptown all the way.
I know he is, Arvery.
What the hell?
Did you see that?
Now I got that bastard for good.
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Goodie's.
It's happy hour.
You can't be happy when you be pressed other than not to let your wife know that you're out with her.
Yell them right out.
Endless love.
Kitten on the keys.
Ghost of a chance.
That's a good oldie.
Let's try it.
Hold it, Enders.
What happened?
I don't know.
Did you see it?
Anybody see it?
Just killed over.
Excuse me.
Oh, my God.
There's a hole in the floor.
There's a hole in the piano floor.
And there's a hole in Ivory.

Call the paramedics.
I will.
Oh, this is exciting.
Great.
Somebody go call the police.
Oh, that's nice.
Listen, who's the wise guy music critic with the pointy-toed shoe?
Oh, you don't have to worry. I'm all right.
How can he be shot?
Who's shot?
Is he dead?
Is who dead?
Does anybody here know CPR?
CPR?
Yeah, sure, I can do that.
Well, okay, then let's try it before the paramedics get here.
Give him room.
All right, all right, let me in here.
What happened?
Let the man breathe.
Hmm?
Did you see that? Some guy tried to shoot up the place.
I know.
I could have been killed.
You were.
Say what?
What does that look like to you?
Like some ugly white dude sucking on my face.
Hey, Porky, don't be sucking on my face.
Somebody gonna give me mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
Let it be her.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Let it be her.
Stop breathing.
Ivory, can you hear me?
Say something.
Call a doctor, Goody.
Hold on, Ivory.
The paramedics are coming.
Come on, Ivory, it's time to go.
Can we wait on the paramedics?
You always read where the paramedics show up
just in time to save somebody.
They didn't get here on time.
They got caught in the traffic.
The paramedics not on time?
Well, why do I pay taxes?
You don't.
Mr. Goody pays you in cash.
You haven't filed your tax return in 17 years.
How you know that?
Where you're going, we know everything about you.
Everything?
You know about the twins in Las Vegas, too?
Everything.
Whoa!
All I remember was this fat white guy.
Looked like an insurance salesman.
Aluminum satin, actually.
Read it, Ivory.
You must have had garlic for lunch.
I'm on free, sir.
See, up here.
You do not get involved in ordering lunch.
Linguine in cams,
or scums under the heading of free will.
Yeah.
Satchmo!
Louis Armstrong, he was the greatest.
Good morning, heartache.
What's new?
Who is that?
Lady Day.
Yeah, Billie Holiday.
You opened me side.
Good morning, heartache.
Thought we said goodbye last night.
I turned and tossed until it seemed you had gone.
But here you are with the dogs.
What a voice.
Yes, I forget.
Don't tell me.
I know that one.
As to do.
Do tell it.
Billie Holiday, Satchmo.
And this is the greatest.
There's more to come.
I'm in heaven, right?
Not exactly.
This is your own personal heaven.
Your own particular vision of how heaven should be.
It's not the same for any two people.
You mean I get my own piece of heaven made to order?
That's the basic idea.
Of course, the other place works along the same general lines.
What other place?
When I was a youngster, all I dreamed of was playing piano at the cotton club.
There's an empty stool waiting there for you.
Oh, thank you.
It's a hazardous to my health.
Say, about six, do they have that up here?
Oh, this is heaven, isn't it?
Are you hungry?
I can stand a little something.
You know, let's get the taste of that fat guy's garlic out of my mouth.
Wait a minute.
Is the fish fresh?
Fresh frozen, sir.
Even here?
People go to heaven, sir, not fish.
Very good.
Who is that?
That's one of the Four Step Brothers.
I remember him.
How did he get up here?
Hey, hold on just a sec.
What's wrong with me?
Mr. Johnson's all a perfect setup, and I'd love to stay, but I gotta get back.
Oh, you can't go back?
What about my grandson I gotta raise?
What about Jesse?
I know all about Jesse.
Believe it or not, we have a plan.
We're not just up here winning it.
That glitch in the new system.
Well, Gary?
Oh, Mr. Johnson, I think we've found the problem.
We just went online with this new unit, and it was a small glitch in the system.
Gary, he doesn't like glitches.
Now, this is Mr. Clay.
He'd had a gunshot wound today.
Clay Ivory, age 65, cause of death, a traffic mishap.
See, I wasn't in no traffic mishap.
I was in a shot through my pianist's tool mishap.
Check Mr. Clay's time of arrival.
Estimated time of arrival, 423 p.m., Saturday, January the 10th, 1987.
You see, Mr. Johnson, today is Tuesday.
Mr. Clay wasn't supposed to be shot today.
That's what I've been trying to tell him.
He was supposed to be run over by a bus on Saturday.
Boy, am I having a bad week.
Look, I gotta get back to look after Jesse.
I can't stay in heaven.
You're right.
Not with a life like this.
Lying, smoking, drinking.
That stolen car when he was 17.
16. I was just a kid.
You didn't give it back until you were 23.
Gambling, womanizing.
And I don't even want to get into those unpaid parking tickets.
A pretty spotty record.
Then what am I doing in heaven in the first place?
Ah, that's where your grandson Jesse comes in.
You see, you've lived a lifestyle, enjoying life, sliding by.
But with Jesse, you made a difference.
Raising him is gonna get you a place of hair.
You're supposed to live until Saturday after you see him through his audition.
After that, he will be fine.
Then why don't you just let me go back and finish helping Jesse until he's on his way?
Unfortunately, it cannot be done.
You see, when this weight leaves your physical body, it cannot get back in.
It's like being vacuum packed.
So what happens to Jesse?
In a case like this, there may be a way...
I don't look too hot.
You look better.
Being dead doesn't agree with most people.
What happened here, Nolan?
I don't know. It was a freak thing, Captain.
I was chasing Mendez downstairs.
My gun went off.
Has the cop been killing me?
Mm-hmm. William Nolan, detective. 24th precinct.
It was an accident.
I get knocked off by some trigger happy cop.
Jesse has no one to take care of him.
And what about Nolan?
The department will investigate the shooting.
He'll be suspended for two weeks.
Two weeks?
Without pay, of course.
You told me there'd be a way for me to help Jesse.
There is.
Through him.
But he doesn't even know Jesse.
Why should he help him?
You have to persuade him in spirit form.
Spirit? You mean like a ghost?
You have until 423 p.m. Saturday.
Nolan is the only one who would be able to see or hear you.
Agreed?
I got a choice.
Not really.
I'm sorry, Bill.
He's sorry.
What?
I said I'm sorry.
Is this a joke?
Am I laughing?
What's this guy doing here?
What's the matter with you, Bill?
It's the coroner. He just filled out his report.
Not him. This other guy.
What other guy?
He can't see me.
Are you all right, Bill?
What?
Captain Arb, I don't feel so good.
I think I'll get a little air.
Me too. This is getting depressing.
Good night, guys.
I love that man like a brother.
Such a senseless loss.
We'll be open tomorrow.
At least you're gonna close the happy hour.
It's a sad moment, but I think he'd like you all to keep coming back.
You'll have to keep your guns out. You'll be suspended if the investigation's over.
It's just routine. And no pay.
And of course, no put-me-on.
Let's go home.
And the target they're hunting is Hunter.
A gang of hillbilly killers.
The Romanian secret police, at a million dollars in cash, combine in a thrilling mystery.
Starting to come together for you now?
Hunter Saturday.

Samford Downs' latest stage is now released, so come on out this weekend.
You pick it up, and we'll pick them up.
I'm Anne Sanders. Join me for Australia's Most Wanted soon.
Keep the traffic moving.
I got the driver of the Jag.
You can't hold me, I didn't do anything. You gotta be taking in your cop here. You killed the old black guy upstairs.
Get the door open.
I don't want to see any more of that stuff, you understand?
What'd you find on Mendez?
Nothing, he was clean.
Oh, come on, that guy's never clean.
Look, take it easy, Nolan. We'll impound the Jag right. We'll vacuum it.
All right.
You okay, Nolan?
You want to go to the beer or something?
Come on, Nolan. Get away from me.
Okay, okay, forget it. Come on, Nolan.
Look, let go of me. You are not here. You're an hallucination.
Oh yeah, would you ever see a hallucination do this?
Ow!
Ah!
You all right, though?
Yeah, Jeff, I'm all right.
Why are you right here?
Come on, Nolan, we gotta go find Jesse.
Who are you getting weed?
Come on.
Poor Bill. He's really taking this thing hard.
Jesse's mother died when he was four years old.
His grandmother passed last year, and I took him in.
I was happy to do it because he's my flesh and blood.
It's been a long time since I visited a white man's apartment.
Nolan, I had no idea you lived like this.
This isn't happening. I don't hear anything. I'm home. I'm alone.
This is the saddest refrigerator I've ever seen in my life.
This is some stuff growing in there older than me.
How long have you been living here?
Seven years.
Was this here when you moved in?
I need a beer.
Me too.
I wonder if I can drink.
Hi.
Boy, I'm glad to see you.
I heard about the shoot.
Yeah, I guess everybody has by now.
You all right?
Yeah. Fine. Perfect rate. Why?
Oh, I'm just worried about you. That's all.
Him? I'm the one with the tag on my toe.
Did I tell you that the shields have suspended me?
You know, it's just a standard procedure. A couple of weeks without pay.
Have a beer?
Are you all right?
Why don't we, you know, let's go up to your bedroom.
I'll give you a back rub and we can relax.
It's a mess up there. Want me to straighten up first?
No. No. I can't.
All right. I understand.
No, no, no, you don't. I can.
Bill, it's all right. It happens to everybody sometimes.
Not to me it doesn't. I never can't.
You know, I mean, I'm not in that mood right now,
but don't ever think I can't because I always can.
Go ahead. Take her to the bedroom.
I've never seen a white guy in action.
Will you butt out?
Fine. I'll get my butt out if you...
Honey, I'm not talking to you.
I'm the only one here.
I don't want to swear you're wrong.
What are you talking about?
Okay. How do I say this without being taken away?
All right. Now, you know the man I shot?
Yes.
All right. His ghost is here.
Nice to meet you.
He says, nice to meet you.
Bill, I really think you need to talk to somebody.
All right. All right.
How come I know more things about Ivory Clay
than anybody ever told me?
How come I know that he's got a 12-year-old grandson
named Jesse and the kid's alone?
What are you talking about?
I'm telling you.
His grandson's been living with him for the last year,
and the kid hasn't got another soul in the world.
1201 North Jefferson.
You're a juvenile officer. Go check it out
and see if I know what I'm talking about.
Jesse needs somebody. Jesse needs somebody.
To look after him. To look after him.
All right. I'll check it out.
Are you gonna be all right? I don't like leaving you alone.
I'll be fine.
I think I'll get you a breath of fresh air.
Go!
I'm going.
Cost you 10.
So?
You all right, Nolan?
Sure.
I heard you a little shook up yesterday after the shoot.
Nah, I'm great. Come on, let's play cards.
How many?
Two.
Nolan?
Nine.
Well, I guess you got something.
Your pat dealer takes three.
So you'd rather play poker than help little Jesse.
Nice to know that you're taking all this so hard.
You're not here.
What's that, Nolan?
I say, how about another beer?
Yeah, yeah, sure. After the tent.
Ten.
Nine.
If I'm not here, then how do I know
that this turkey's only got a pair of deuces?
Uh, I'll see ya.
I'm afraid you got me, Nolan.
All I got's a pair of deuces.
Queens.
Ah.
Hey, Nolan, it's getting a little late.
What do you say we raise the stakes a little,
get the kids out the street?
Well, why not?
Twenty dollars, Annie.
Your bet.
Well, I'll start off with twenty dollars.
I'll see you twenty, and I'll raise you thirty.
Relax, he's bluffing.
And I'll see you're thirty,
and I'll raise you another thirty.
Call.
Cards.
One.
Dealers' pot.
You're in like Flynn.
Your bet.
Okay, let's make it fifty.
I'll see you're fifty, and I'll raise you fifty.
I'll, uh, see you're fifty, and I'll raise you...
I gotta go, Laine.
Oh, your marker's good, Rose.
I call.
Aces and mates.
Oh, three sixes.
Wait a minute, that's impossible.
So I lied.
Hey, biggie money.
Don't you think you had enough?
Ah, look.
Nope.
He lost my refrigerator.
He's got my girlfriend thinking I'm crazy.
He loses me a month's pay.
What did I ever do to you?
You killed me.
Oh, yeah.
Call your girlfriend and find out what Jesse's doing.
I don't hear you.
You're not here.
Poof.
Go away.
Not until you do right by Jesse.
My little Jesse's all alone.
I wish I was.
Of all the city's finest, I gotta be stuck here sitting with a white souse.
And I'm sitting here with a black louse.
You talking to me?
Why would I talk to you? I don't even know you.
Tell me, if we're on to answer your question.
You see a black guy over there?
Yeah, sure, I see him.
You do?
Yeah.
You got a problem with that?
Yeah, I got a problem with that.
He's a spook.
Oh, no.
Stay down, fool.
That's just gonna get a see-through body like mine.
Okay, my friend.
You just struck a police officer.
And you are under arrest. Stick out your hands.
Don't let him kill you. I need you.
You're the only one who can help my grandson, Jesse.
Look, for the last time, I'm not helping you or any brat kid.
Now get the hell out of here.
Now you got his attention, Nolan.
He's all yours.
You have the right to remain silent.
You know what I'm saying, you say?
Karen, in the world, they used to get you in the court of law.
You have the right to call a lawyer.
You have the right to have a lawyer present at your arraignment.
Hello, Ivory.
Mr. Johnson.
How are we doing?
Oh, he's a hopeless Mr. Johnson.
It's hard to get through to that white man.
Right now, he looks closer to blue.
I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, I tried.
Giving up already, Ivory?
I think what you need is a little more motivation.
A surf champ's mysterious death.
Get out!
But who has the motive for murder?
There's more than half a million dollars wrapped up in this campaign.
The jealous ex-champ.
These guys think I've killed Mel Harvey.
The jilted lover.
The grimy Sarah left handed.
Or the promoter who could lose the lot.
Police!

Join Frank Warwick and Kay McGrath as they present
1992 The Big Picture, a seven-nightly news documentary premiere Saturday on the world around us.
It's not my fault. I couldn't do nothing with that hard helicopter.
Of course you couldn't.
Hey, where are you taking me?
What you're lacking, Ivory, is the appropriate enthusiasm.
I want to help you help yourself.
That is one of our specialties.
You like barbecue?
As long as it's not lean.
I don't think I like this place.
No, sir, you just got here.
Give it a chance.
Next, Lingo.
I'm drinking, crying in your bed.
If they ever stop that music, that's here.
Well now, how'd he do, stranger?
We've been expecting you.
I think I go meek by myself.
Wes, this is Ivory.
Ivory?
Oh, Ivory, I can't tell you what a pleasure it is.
Hey, nice ride, wasn't it?
Now, look, why don't you boys go and find yourselves a table,
and I'll go and get you a beer.
Cousin.
He's got a mean streak, and he's got a bad breath.
Are you guys happy?
I hate country, Lester.
Come on, Mr. Johnson, I did the best I could with that Nolan guy
when you sent me down to Earth.
Not down there, up there.
Up there?
You mean this is?
Down there.
Well, Ivory, looks like you're next up on my boat.
Sweet little thing, I call him Diablo.
Last request?
Yes, get me the hell out of here.
Well, hurry back now, you hear?
You know, Mr. Johnson, I've been thinking,
that Nolan guy ain't so bad.
You want to reconsider?
You only have until Saturday.
He's my only chance to help, Jesse.
It's either that or season tickets at the Grand Ole Opry,
and it is a long season.
Okay.
Did you see that?
No, me neither.
You're welcome.
I'm welcome.
He's the one should be thanking you.
If you hadn't broken that up, I might have hurt somebody.
Come on, Nolan, I'm coming.
Look, I just want to get this straight.
I made sure your grandson gets to that piano audition by Saturday.
You're out of my face for good?
You got it.
What are you staring at?
Your luggies don't match.
Hey, how about washing up for lunch?
Hi.
How'd you get in?
Well, he left a key under the mat.
Who?
I mean, well, most people do, don't they?
I'm a detective, you know.
Yeah.
Hey, thanks for watching the kid.
Oh, sure, no problem.
Are you sure you're up to this?
Sure, I'm sure.
Yeah, I'll just watch the kid, you know,
until his audition at the performing arts,
and then you can put him, you know, a nice home or something.
Hey, we're talking about a kid, not a colleague.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
You're not still seeing anybody the rest of us aren't seeing, are you?
No, I'm fine.
But a 12-year-old.
I mean, you're not exactly great with kids.
Don't sit there.
Why not?
Well, but that was his favorite chair.
Still is.
Jesse, Jesse, I missed you.
Damn.
I want you to know that your grandpa's here,
and that I don't want to leave you all alone like this.
Who's he?
Jesse, this is Mr. Nolan.
Bill.
He's going to be taking care of you a couple of days.
I was a friend of your grandpa's.
You look like a cop.
Me, a cop?
Don't tell him you're a cop.
I'm not a cop.
I mean, how can I be a cop?
I thought I looked too much like a cop to be a cop.
No, I'm no cop.
I'm a musician.
A musician?
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
I'm a musician.
And we used to play together.
Yeah, your grandpa and I used to play together all the time.
We were a couple of hep cats.
Hep cats?
Will you please stop ad libbing?
Did you know my grandpa, too?
No, but I heard he was quite a piano player.
I like this lady.
You're pretty good yourself.
I guess.
Oh, and remind Jesse what I always told him.
That piano is his ticket to any place he wants to go.
That piano is your ticket to any place you want to go.
Because he's uptown, first class, all the way.
Because you're uptown, first class, all the way.
You did know my grandpa.
Yeah.
You were good in there with my grandson.
Yeah.
I haven't spent much time with my kids.
Just little people who haven't seen everything yet.
But they got their dreams and a chance for their dreams to come true.
Hey, something just hit me.
What?
You think they transplanted me or me?
What are you talking about?
You know, when they transplant organs of people.
Well, maybe they used some of mine because I was in pretty good shape.
Maybe you could visit my heart and please and maybe one of my kidneys in Kansas City.
Look, I am not visiting any of your organs.
I said I'd help the kid, then you'd stop on to me, and that's it.
Besides, you don't look to me like you've got any spare parts that would do anybody else much good.
Hey, Nolan.
Hey, Rose.
Hello, Fine.
Well, out of narcotics and back on to the police force, huh?
He's riding with me now.
Look, just until you get back.
I mean, don't worry, we're still partners.
As soon as the department clears your name, you're gonna be right back here sitting beside me.
I live for the day.
What about Menagerie?
She's back in the street.
Anything you want to drop?
No, we're just waiting and watching.
Now I know why they call you guys plain clothes men, because you dress so ugly.
Hey, Nolan, this one's got a reading light.
I see you've noticed our eternal reward model.
It's lacquered oak over a solid three-inch thick steel frame.
Hey, Nolan, I like this one. It's got a good lower back support.
Can it.
Can it be bought on the installment plan?
Possibly, sir. Yes, this is one of our finest models.
It's called the whispering pine.
Mm-hmm, should you whisper the price?
What?
Shh. Please.
Who am I gonna wake up?
Uh, how about this one over here?
Oh, thanks, sir.
Oh, you've gotta be kidding.
Does he look like a big kidder?
One's final resting place is hardly a joke, sir.
Yes, do you happen to have something like a burial at sea?
You're not gonna throw me an ocean?
What is the difference?
The difference, sir?
Uh, between the boxes, what's the difference?
Well, how shall I put it? They're all quite serviceable.
It's like automobiles.
Would you rather have your loved one laid to rest in a Cadillac or a Pinto?
Stop it.
What?
We'll, uh, take it. We'll take it.
Good.
I like that one with the beige crushed velvet.
I want to leave him in style.
Why didn't you ask for one with the racing stripe?
You know what your problem is, Nolan?
Yeah, I'm being haunted.
No, your problem is color.
Your life isn't black and white. It's gray.
I bet you don't even have a red necktie or a hat with a feather in it.
Look at that suit.
What about it with the suit?
Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead in it.
Hey, wait a minute.
Nolan's one cop who worries me. He wants me bad.
If you keep an eye on him until after the drop, then we'll take care of him.
What the hell's he doing?
I think our cop snapped his cap.

Of course.

George, you should have seen what I saw at Underwater World today.
Big mullet, pretty colourfish, and I saw a big crocodile, and the seals were really funny.
And George, I picked up a starfish, and I saw a big shark with big teeth.
And George, I think you're lucky you lived with me.

You look at that.
Oh Lord, Hamlet, if I was 20 years younger and still alive.
Oh, I thought you were somebody else for a second.
But you ain't nobody else.
You like no melon?
Don't do that anymore.
I can't help myself.
You mean you're dead but you're still one of...
Yeah, I ain't tried it yet but they say in heaven they still do.
No kidding.
Maybe I just got myself some religion.
Yeah.
Oh no, Jesse, that's not it.
What's wrong?
It's Jesse. He's playing but he's not getting inside the music with feeling.
He's just playing notes.
You'll never get to that school playing like that.
What's the matter, kid?
Nothing's the matter. I don't feel like practicing anymore.
Who cares about getting accepted to that big time stupid music school?
Don't even quit on his steps. You gotta get him to practice.
All right. Move your rear end over on that piano still while you still got one to do it with.
Hey, hey, go easy on the kid.
I mean, we don't use violence in this house. We use reason. Tell him to do it for me.
Come on, Jesse. Do it for your grandpa.
I was doing it for him. Now he's gone.
Well, I'm not forgotten.
If your grandpa was here, he would still want you to make stuff out of yourself.
I can make something out of myself without practicing.
I'll do like all the other kids around the block do.
Go work for Mendez.
You're gonna do what?
Get myself a jab just like he does.
You're gonna sell dope over my dead body?
Tell me you're gonna be some kind of a pusher. I'll push you out of your deep wood.
That's exactly what my grandpa used to do to me when I talked back to him.
Joe, over there. How'd you do that?
Yeah, how did you do that?
Uh...
Not such a bad turnout, huh?
Too bad you have to die to find out how popular you are.
See that handsome woman in red?
I can't believe he's gone.
Me either, baby.
That's Loretta Wilson.
Thirty years ago, we had a thing going.
But she never got married. She said I had spoiled her for all other men.
That's Nettie Carter. That's Loretta's best friend.
Loretta never knew it, but Nettie and I were an item, too.
But don't you go around saying that to nobody.
Don't worry. I won't tell Loretta.
Never mind. Loretta is that woman.
Josephine. She didn't know nothing about Nettie or Loretta.
And she's the one with the temper. You'll love her.
She shot two of her husbands accidentally.
Who's that?
I don't know.
It made that many women happy.
You remember all of them.
You again. And in here?
Man, God saw that. You go burn in hell.
I asked you not to do that.
Don't worry about it. You'll probably love country and western music.
What?
Never mind.
I'm going to go.
Never mind.

And so Ivory is going to get the best send-off his grandson Jesse can give him.
Ivory, Brother Clay, we love you.
We miss you.
And you're with God now.
Let us hope so.
But you'll be in our hearts forever.
Let everybody say, Amen.
Amen.
Go.
No.
Well, I see you came to pay your last respects.
You kill any mourners and bystanders lately?
Get out of my face, Mendez, while you still got one.
I bet you wish it was me in the box.
Well, maybe something could be arranged.
Are you threatening a citizen now? You're a real menace.
Ain't it bad enough you killed the boy's grandpa?
What's he talking about?
Come on, Jesse, let's go.
Wait a minute, wait a minute. Tell him, Nola.
Tell the boy how you killed his grandpa.
You?
You killed my grandpa?
He's the cop that shot him.
Cop?
Jesse!
Jesse! Jesse, it was an accident!
Damn.

Look Nolan, the kid's only been missing for one night.
He's just a routine runaway.
Like a couple of thousand other kids in this city.
This one isn't routine, Shields.
No, I had something to do with what happened to Jesse and his grandpa.
He's a good kid.
He's got one chance this afternoon to get into a music school.
Now that could make all the difference in his life.
We're spread thin, Nolan.
I got most of my people waiting for that Mendez thing to drop.
I cannot spare extra manpower to look for one lost child.
Alright, I'll see what I can do.
I could send out an APB unofficially.
Okay, okay.
This is good news, Nolan.
Just come in from Ballistics.
Your gun was defective.
Something wrong with the firing mechanism.
I knew it.
So did I.
Phil, is there anything I can do?
Why don't you go with her having the auditions?
He might just show up there.
I'm on my way.
Thank you for what you said, Nan Nolan.
I guess you never had a black friend before.
But you do now.
I'm dead, but I guess you got to start somewhere.
I got a white friend either.
Listen, if we're going to find Jesse, we better split up
and trouble more girls than that.
Hi, Clarence.
Hey, Jesse.
Sorry about your grandpa.
Thanks.
You seen Mendes's car around today?
No, but you know me, Jesse.
I don't miss much.
Thanks.
The Jag just backed in.
Let's see.
They're loading up the trunk of the Jag.
What's happening now?
I can't see.
There's a truck in the way.
Ah, there goes the truck.
And there goes the Jag.
Now we got him.
Let's go.
Out of the car.
Nice and slow.
Is there a problem, officers?
Get Mendes out of here now.
Gentlemen?
What do you got?
Nothing in this green, but green.
Jesse!
Hey, Mr. Mendes!
What are you doing here?
This is a lousy neighborhood.
You still running away?
I guess.
Hop in.
Oh, you're better.
I got you.
Hey, hey.
Hey.
Jesse!
You alright?
Come on.
Just a minute.
You alright?
Hey, you okay?
Jesse, you alright?
Come on.
Go ahead.
Hello, fellas.
Sorry to interrupt right in the middle of a coffee break.
Hey, I thought the cops followed your car.
They did follow the car.
Followed Jesse.
All right, let's go, kid.
Let's get out of here.
You've got an audition to make.
I'm not going anywhere with you, cop.
You've been lying to me straight along.
And you killed my grandpa.
You know, you just don't seem to have a way with kids,
do you, Nola?
Put a lid on it, Mendez.
Now look, Jesse.
There's a lot of things going on you don't understand.
There's a lot of things going on I don't understand.
But now is not the time or the place.
Now come on, let's go.
No!
Ah!
Oh, holly!
Hey!
Ah, look at this!

I gotta find Jesse.
Hello Ivory.
Mr. Johnson.
I can't find Jesse.
Nolan found him.
Oh he did?
But they're both in trouble.
Where are they?
Technically I'm not supposed to say.
You're supposed to handle this on your own.
I'm also supposed to be still alive.
True.
Until 4.23 this afternoon when you get hit by a cross tongue bus and drive for two blocks.
That's a tough way to get a free ride.
Now come on I see how you operate.
Snap your finger.
Go poof.
Whisk me to wherever Jesse is.
They frown on whisking down here.
But I'm running out of time.
Don't lose heart.
Remember as he likes to say, it ain't over till it's over.
He quotes from Yogi Berra.
Man I'm really in trouble.
Just tell me where Jesse is.
Give me an address.
Way out there.
I'm gonna get there in time.
Rollers gates.
Remember you have until 4.23.
That's all the time you have allotted.
Excuse me.
Jesse, don't sit there finished unloading.
Jesse!
That kid makes me nervous.
You don't grow up, right?
I told you I'd take care of him.
Uh-oh.
I hate to say this, but I'm glad to see you.
How'd you find us?
Somebody up there likes me.
Because somebody down here is trying to kill me.
Where's Jesse?
Watch this.
Hey, hey, what are you doing?
What the hell's the matter with you?
What do you mean, what's the matter with me?
You groped her on me.
The hell I did?
That's funny.
What the hell, you got a brain for brain?
Yeah, I'm talking.
What the hell's the matter with you?
No!
Please don't!
Hey, hey, no, no, no!
No!
Hold it, darling!
Jesse, come out, pal.
Come out.
That a boy.
Don't get him, Polly!
Hey, Nick!
No one's loose!
Hey, Mr. Minnie.
What's the matter?
I thought I was supposed to come work for you.
You're not working for me, kid.
The job description is hostage.
Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
Hey!
Hi there.
Let me out!
Hey, Nick!
Polly!
Have you been?
I was taking care of a little business.
At least in death.
But he's mine.
Please, damn door!
Nick!
Polly!
Come on, guys, get me out of here!
Come on!
Polly!
Here we are.
Andrey!
Grandpa!
Now!
Adios, Mendez!

Hey, Nolan!
I'd like to say something nice.
But you won't.
Yeah, I will.
Nice job.
Thanks, Rose.
But...
I do the paperwork.
Let's go, Hotshot.
Hit the siren.
We've got six minutes to get to that audition.
Excuse me, Mr. DeVito.
Is there any way we could postpone Jessie Clay's audition?
I'm terribly sorry, but we have young people who've come from thousands of miles for this audition.
Our choices must be made today.
I don't know another television network whose programs reflect the humor and strength of the Australian character quite as much as Channel 7.
And this year, they're launching an extraordinary range of new shows spanning out back adventure like the great outdoors, real-life drama like Australia's most wanted, laughter with Norman Gunston...
We're getting married!
...and the newlyweds...
Hello!
...and talk to the animals...
That's what this series is all about.
...with the vet from Burke's backyard.

Hello, I'm Tim McCartney-Snape.
One of my most satisfying challenges was climbing Mount Everest, but it's something I couldn't have done without the support of the members of the Australian Geographic Society.
A group of Australians who, in my opinion, have been part of one of the great success stories of this country, with membership growing from nothing to over 197,000.
And it's become the largest funder of scientific research and adventure in Australia, with over $5 million given to some 400 different projects.
That means our members are directly involved in creating a sense of adventure in our young people,
and projects like our Wilderness Couple, the conservation of Mawson's Hut, the protection of our environment through annual scientific expeditions,
and important social causes like the Life Education Movement.
Our famous journal, which is only available to society members, is produced here at the Australian Geographic Centre.
There is a cartographic division making detailed maps which are included in each issue.
And the centre is also where we publish our books, like these on the Canning Stock Route, Cape York, and Everest from Sea to Summit.
A new TV series is in the making, which will show you Australia as you've never seen it before.
And our notice boards in our Australian Geographic shops advise our members on the latest society news.
In these tough economic times, Australian Geographic is booming. Why?
Because we have an enthusiastic group of supporters who love high quality and are keen to get involved in what we're doing.
If you'd like to show your support and become a member and receive four issues of our journal each year,
then call into one of our Australian Geographic shops or phone this number with your credit card details.

Jesse, even if all this doesn't make any sense, you've got to try and understand.
I'd do anything in the world if I could change what happened, but I just can't.
You've got to know that what happened to your grandpa was an accident.
That was him in there, wasn't it?
And all the time you've been trying to help me, he's been with you.
Still is.
Thanks.
Oh, thank God you made it. The last kid's auditioning now and she's running out of wind.
Where have you been?
I'll tell you later.
We made it. And just in time, you've got to admit, that was close.
Aren't you excited? Jesse's going to audition.
What's the matter with you? I just said...
Oh, no.
No?
Your grandson's big moment, you're taking a powder, what the hell's the big idea?
You think I'm going to go in there and take over, huh?
I mean rev Jesse up so he'll play like he never played?
All right, look, no promises. I'll do...
Hey. Ain't you going to say goodbye?
Ivy?
Goodbye, my friend.
All right, I'm going to go tell him that you're here.
No, I'm scared.
Yeah, me too. Okay, Jesse, just try and relax.
And remember, first you feel it, then you play it.
Just get inside the music. Everything else will take care of itself.
Remember, you're uptown, you're first class all the way.
Okay, good luck. You're on.
Oh, wait, come back.
I almost forgot. That black tie doesn't do a thing for you, kid.
Lose it.
Let me help you. Come on, you gotta feel it.
And now we have our final applicant, Jesse Clay, who will play Mozart's Sonata in A major, number 11.
Much better. That's what you needed in any color.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, I tell you, Mr. Johnson, my grandson's great, isn't he? Uptown, first class all the way.
Now what happened?
Don't you know? Jesse gets into performing arts. Nolan marries Kathleen, and they adopt Jesse.
And he turns out to be a fine young man, and they all live happily ever after.
You see, this story does have a happy ending.
But what about me? I'm still dead, right?
I didn't see everybody as happy as ever after.
I have just one more look, Mr. Johnson.
We should just go get in the car.
Take care of yourself, Jesse.
You see, Kathleen and Nolan are gonna take care of my grandson.
That's right.
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Johnson. They're good people.
What if they run into a problem with Jesse?
And he might need some lessons that only his grandfather can give him.
Look at me, Mr. Johnson. How do you feel about furloughs?
You know, a weekend down there, three days and two nights, like a Las Vegas junket.
You see, Mr. Johnson?

What kind do you want? Tell him we want the best he's got, the kind John West would grab.
We want some value. We want the sort John West wouldn't reject.
Consistent coral color. Consistent coral color.
Light skin, not dark around the outside. Not too dark around the outside.
Moist but not wet. Firm and juicy in the mouth.
It's the salmon John West reject that makes John West the best.

What's the matter with you? Don't you like dogs, creatures?
Yeah, I love them. If I don't want one living this,
brawling all over the furniture. Come on, I don't...
Calm down, calm down. It's just for a few days
till I get him settled in with a trainer at White City.
White City? Yeah.
You've got Didlow or something. That's a top G.R.A. track, isn't it?
That's where they all did dog diving. Yeah.
They only raced the cream there. That's right.
You ready? What for? Trial run. Come on, Dee Dee.
LAUGHTER
Same again, Dave. Then we'll have to split.
This one's on me. No, no, no. There you go.
I insist. Now, listen, it's your living. Let me.
You insist.
What bit of lunacy made you buy a grey
out of me? I didn't buy him. I took him in lieu.
What, a public lieu? No, no. Lure-readies.
Paddy Early was in for a few quid and couldn't come up with it,
so he let me have to pick it a litre. That's why I call him Daily's Deal.
Oh, yeah? Yeah, I mean, he was only in to me for 200 sovs.
And I mean, the great, great project in the Amickler Mill there.
Couple of grand the right way.
Are we talking about the same Paddy Early? Yeah.
Well-known breeder and trainer of many a win forecast combination.
Did he tell you that, did he, ain't he?
No, no, this'll do. This'll do. Stay here.
What? Now, Terry, unleash him, but restrain him.
Restrain him? Yeah.
He's sleeping. He's sleeping.
Restrain him? Yeah.
He's sleepwalking now.
How do you expect to get him to run, eh? Eh?
Oh, brilliant, brilliant.
All right. Stay there.
Ready? Yeah, yeah, I'm ready. Yeah, I've thought about it enough.
No, no, don't be misled by the intensity of the concentration, Terry.
He's gonna spring like a panther. Stand on me.
Ready? Yeah, ready, yeah.
Kill!
He's still ready.
Well, that'll have to do it, folks. You really got to go.
Sure. Oh, yeah.
How about the other?
What?
An irony. Reason you're here. Sorry, chaps.
Don't worry about Dave. He's one of your own.
Oh, no offence. Dave's just a little bit of a wimp.
I didn't cop a dapple to what went on here. I wouldn't have any members to.
So you'd say. Yeah, right.
Yeah, take it easy. See you later, all right?
Oh, no good honour in an ootin'. We had a deal and that's it.
And you've got the bargain. Bargain? Bargain?
This animal has narcolepsy.
Not to mention total paralysis of its lower limbs, namely its legs.
Don't you listen to him, Dee Dee. Oh, come on, Arthur.
You're a wimp.
You've only had the bloody thing a few hours.
Long enough to recognise certain movement deficiencies.
Riley can't even trot. The best he can do is walk.
And that's backwards slowly.
That's only cos he hasn't had a chance to get used to you.
It's a proper parabred, isn't it?
They're highly strange. You have to give them a bit of time.
Time? Listen, Paddy.
Down, Chris.
Arthur, all the dog needs is a bit of care and attention
and it will be a flying machine. You take my word.
And if that don't work, tuck a bit of mustard up its tookers.
That'll make it shift a bit lively.
Tuck a bit of mustard.
Good grief, Paddy, what are you suggesting?
What's he feeding it on, Tell?
Tennis balls.
Looking forward to this, are you?
Ooh.
Come on, then, son.
There you go.
Come on.
Well, that ain't your appetite, is it, Fido?
Steak. Yeah, steak.
And brown bread. Brown bread?
Yeah, you know, roughage. Muff, muff.
Hey, I'll tell you something else Paddy gave me a tip for.
Nothing I have to invest in, I have.
When the dog is ready to run, just before he off, you know,
a certain unspeakable procedure with mustard
and an ansest performance no end, if you'll get my meaning.
You do what?
Off with me, old son. How's business?
Subject to the usual fluctuations, Tasty. You?
About the same, about the same.
That usual dink won't be yourself an offer.
Oh, Tom, that is a large one, Dave.
Of course I am.
Hey, Tasty, do you know anything about the vagaries of sporting canine?
What? Greyhounds.
Oh. Well?
I don't know, some. The man of mine's got a couple, he races.
What do you want to know?
I've just acquired one, I want to know how to make it run.
Well, I could give him a ring, I suppose. Ask him.
Here you go, gents, two large horticas. Sergeant Tom.
Yeah, would you? Yeah.
All right.
There you go.
Go on, then.
Go on, stick.
