:17:03
Uh, uh, can l-- can I just, uh--
:17:08
Look, the-the reason
you´re here and not the police...
:17:11
is that we, my wife and l, we believe
that this might be somehow connected...
:17:14
- with the, uh, machinists´
union indictments.
- Okay.
:17:18
So, uh, Jackie Brown.
:17:21
The man was caught on tape
takin´ a pay-off...
:17:23
during contract negotiations
with another airline, uh, Infinite Air.
:17:26
lt was a sting, okay?
So there he is, dead in the water.
:17:29
He says to your people,
"Can we do something here?"
:17:31
And, uh, so he offers me up.
:17:34
Yeah, he said Tom gave him
a quarter of a million dollars...
:17:36
for a sweetheart deal
with the union.
:17:38
Now, I have been investigated
exhaustively; me, my company,
my-my family. My family.
:17:44
We´ve been dragged through
the tabloid mud, courtesy of FBl leaks,
and nothing. All right? Nothing.
:17:49
Now Jackie Brown´s in jail
where he belongs, and he´s pissed,
and I think he´s got some pretty
unsavoury associates out there.
:17:52
- Uh, Mr Mullen, obviously we´re
very aware of the Jackie Brown
situation, Mr Mull--
- An-And?
:17:56
- We´re still working on it.
- Jesus Christ, I think you
should pay a little more attention.
:17:59
- We´re paying-- No.
Can I make a suggestion, Mr Mullen?
- What? What?
:18:01
Now, we are going to get
into all of this in time,
but for now, just hang loose.
:18:05
- Just sit tight so we can get a plan--
- Hang loose? Hang loose?
Sit tight? Which one?
:18:08
Tom, just let him finish.
:18:11
- No, it´s okay. lt´s okay.
No, look, look.
- I´m sorry.
:18:14
lf this were my child,
l´d be the same way. Believe me.
:18:17
lt´s not a problem at all.
:18:30
All right, kid, I know
this is hard on you, all right?
:18:33
But you gotta hang in there.
:18:39
- How many kidnappings
have you worked before?
- All together, 33.
:18:43
Uh, now you take away the custodial,
gang, drug-related, l´ve worked ten.
:18:47
Now, that´s ten traditional,
ransom-oriented abductions
in the last five years.
:18:51
Now, that´s a lot. Believe it or not,
this kind of thing is kind of rare.
:18:55
Well, um, out of the ten,
how many did you get back?
:18:59
Got back seven.
