For the next two weeks,
I won't think about anything...
:29:03
except the eternal struggle
between man and the fish.
:29:06
I've been promised a vacation.
You remember?
:29:10
Sorry, Hank, that's out.
:29:13
Phil, look at me. College degree,
lovable personality...
:29:17
and I spend most of my time in prison.
:29:19
An undercover specialist.
Eight sentences in five years.
:29:21
Dannemora, Sing Sing, Leavenworth...
:29:23
I joined the department
to put criminals behind bars...
:29:26
and here I am, stir crazy.
:29:31
Read this.
:29:42
Who checks confessions in Springfield?
:29:45
Every rookie knows Scratch Morton
went underground after that hotel job.
:29:48
You won't let Jarrett get away
with a two-bit prison stretch?
:29:51
-Maybe?
-Maybe?
:29:53
A hoodlum turns himself in
on a phony rap...
:29:55
and beats the gas chamber.
:29:57
I'll bet you he's thumbing his nose
at Uncle Sam now and loving it.
:30:00
Jarrett outsmarted you.
:30:02
That's just what we want him to think.
We're working with the Springfield police.
:30:06
We arranged for the confession to check.
So, what happens?
:30:09
Jarrett does a stretch in the penitentiary.
:30:11
In case he's lonely,
wants to talk to someone...
:30:14
we'll let one of our boys do a stretch
right in the same cell.
:30:19
Still going fishing, Hank?
:30:20
Yeah. In what prison?
:30:23
You'll enjoy the food there.
Wonderful chef.
:30:25
-Arrested him myself.
-Okay, what's the pitch?
:30:28
You'll be committed
to the penitentiary in Illinois.
:30:30
You'll be one of Jarrett's cellmates.
:30:32
Stick with him until you find out...
:30:34
where he unloaded $300,000
in federal currency...
:30:36
without a single bill showing up.
:30:39
Also, try to learn the identity
of the very special fence...
:30:42
that engineered this deal.
:30:45
How does he operate?
:30:47
Buys stolen money here,
30¢, 40¢ on the dollar.
:30:50
Peddles it on the European black market
for who knows how much.
:30:54
No questions asked. Sweet racket.
:30:57
In step with the times.
:30:59
That's your assignment.
