- Will the picture be a success?
- Francis' work on it is brilliant.
1:10:05
I hope we'll be working together.
We've fought before, only it wasn't in court.
1:10:10
I hope we have the same luck
as we had on The Godfather.
1:10:13
Despite an expected
lengthy court battle...
1:10:15
.... the film is expected
to open in theaters in December.
1:10:19
The Cotton Club opened later that month.
1:10:22
While some of the critics praised the film,
others just didn't get it.
1:10:26
Neither did the audiences.
The picture quickly faded away...
1:10:33
...thus ending the first half of the '80s.
The good half.
1:10:38
I had no idea what lay ahead.
1:10:45
Two days ago, a badly decomposed body was
found in this dry riverbed in Copco Canyon...
1:10:50
... near Gorman,
in northern Los Angeles County.
1:10:52
An autopsy indicated the victim died
of a single gunshot wound.
1:10:56
In a remote area north of Los Angeles,
a beekeeper made a grisly discovery.
1:11:01
I crossed through a dry wash,
went around a bush, and around the bush...
1:11:05
...and there was a hand sticking up,
and there was a body laying there.
1:11:09
The body found in the Gorman area this
past Friday has positively been identified...
1:11:14
...as Mr. Roy Radin.
1:11:25
It was midnight when the phone rang.
A bit pissed, I picked up the phone. Yeah?
1:11:30
It was my attorney, Robert Shapiro.
1:11:32
"Roy Radin is dead."
1:11:34
I laid there in shock, totally stunned.
1:11:40
I met Roy Radin a few months earlier
through an acquaintance named Laney Jacobs.
1:11:45
Radin and I met and discussed
forming a production company.
1:11:48
The Cotton Club might have been
one of the films under the banner.
1:11:52
We shook hands, but nothing
ever really came of it.
1:11:56
What does that have to do with me?
1:11:58
"Nothing and everything."
