:17:01
l even began to realize. . .
:17:04
. . .that the only people l knew
that stood for something were cops.

:17:09
So when l got old enough,
l joined up.

:17:13
l had this dream, boy.
:17:17
l had this dream
of meeting the right woman. . .

:17:19
. . .having kids.
:17:23
Most of all. . .
:17:24
. . .breaking that big case.
:17:27
l could just see them pinning
captain bars on me and. . . .

:17:32
Well, the years went by, and
never did meet that right woman.

:17:38
Seemed like other guys
were always breaking the big case.

:17:43
After a while you get to the point
where you just. . .

:17:46
. . .put in your 20
and wait for retirement.

:17:54
Now l got the big case
and l'm picked to go down with it.

:17:59
You don't have to.
Neither of us does.

:18:01
Nobody's forcing us
to go back to Phoenix.

:18:04
We could go to Canada or Mexico.
Anyplace!

:18:08
Sure. And live like kings.
:18:09
l've got some money.
:18:11
l've got my checkbook.
:18:12
$5000 back in Vegas.
:18:15
And when that runs out?
:18:18
Then let's take the money
and buy a pickup truck.

:18:21
An old sedan,
or something unobtrusive.

:18:24
We'll take back roads, turn ourselves
in to some precinct station.

:18:27
Anything but City Hall!
:18:29
We'll ask for protective custody.
:18:31
Talk to the D.A.
:18:32
That's exactly what l want you to do.
:18:35
What about you?
:18:36
Me? l'm going in.
:18:38
Why?
:18:39
We know why Blakelock picked me
for this job. l'll prove he's wrong.

:18:45
Then l'm going with you.
:18:47
You're not my prisoner.
You can go.

:18:50
You get your money.
lt's between me and Blakelock.

:18:52
You said yourself you didn't
think the whole thing would work.

:18:56
At least someone'll know l tried.
:18:58
-Who, Blakelock?
-No, me.
