177
00:08:06,311 --> 00:08:07,617
The name Lester
mean something to you?
178
00:08:07,704 --> 00:08:09,227
No.
179
00:08:09,314 --> 00:08:11,708
Did she leave anything behind,
personal effects?
180
00:08:11,795 --> 00:08:13,797
Sorry, all I know is
the police said
181
00:08:13,884 --> 00:08:15,146
she cleaned out
her bank account.
182
00:08:15,233 --> 00:08:16,800
Couldn't get away fast enough.
183
00:08:18,889 --> 00:08:21,849
You think of anything,
let me know.
184
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,117
Always knew something
must have happened.
185
00:08:29,204 --> 00:08:31,206
Donna never would have
just taken off.
186
00:08:31,293 --> 00:08:32,947
She loved that kid.
187
00:08:33,034 --> 00:08:34,775
You were babysitting Marisa
the night she disappeared?
188
00:08:34,862 --> 00:08:36,472
'We were good friends
in high school.'
189
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,648
Dodged a baby bullet myself.
190
00:08:38,735 --> 00:08:40,998
'Figured I'd help her out
whenever I could.'
191
00:08:41,085 --> 00:08:43,914
Any guys she was
involved with at the time?
192
00:08:44,001 --> 00:08:47,439
Dating was a hassle for her,
the kid and all.
193
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:50,051
She was really struggling
to make it on her own.
194
00:08:50,138 --> 00:08:52,053
Any idea why she
emptied her bank account
195
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:53,271
before she disappeared?
196
00:08:53,358 --> 00:08:56,057
No, but it couldn't have
been much.
197
00:08:56,144 --> 00:08:57,493
Donna didn't have two nickels.
198
00:08:57,580 --> 00:08:59,626
She owe anybody?
Someone named Lester?
199
00:08:59,713 --> 00:09:02,585
Wasn't like her.
She hated to borrow.
200
00:09:02,672 --> 00:09:05,980
Was a real blow when she had
to move back in with her mom.
201
00:09:06,067 --> 00:09:07,677
I wouldn't wish that woman
on anyone.
202
00:09:07,764 --> 00:09:09,418
You worked with her
at the dealership?
203
00:09:09,505 --> 00:09:12,029
Helped her get
the job as a greeter.
204
00:09:12,116 --> 00:09:14,510
Quit 'cause I couldn't
stand it anymore.
205
00:09:14,597 --> 00:09:16,686
Bunch of sexist sharks.
206
00:09:18,601 --> 00:09:20,864
No idea why she wanted
to swim in that tank.
207
00:09:23,214 --> 00:09:25,390

209
00:09:28,002 --> 00:09:30,352
Steed Motors. I'll transfer you
to Service. Hold.
210
00:09:30,439 --> 00:09:31,875
Hi, Mommy.
211
00:09:31,962 --> 00:09:35,487
Aw, geez, Paula,
I totally forgot. Hi, boo!
212
00:09:35,575 --> 00:09:37,751
I gotta run, Donna. I told you
I got a date tonight.
213
00:09:37,838 --> 00:09:40,492
Yeah, I just gotta close out.
Just a few things.
214
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:43,757
Donna, hold all my calls,
will you, doll?
215
00:09:43,844 --> 00:09:45,193
'Clear my next appointment.'
216
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,238
'Tell Mickey
the fleet sales can wait.'
217
00:09:47,325 --> 00:09:48,631
I want to make sure
we get Mr. Callahan here
218
00:09:48,718 --> 00:09:50,067
all squared away tonight.
219
00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:51,852
Certainly, sir.
220
00:09:51,939 --> 00:09:53,941
Now, George, if I can get him
to throw in the floor mats
221
00:09:54,028 --> 00:09:56,508
with the rustproofing,
do we have a deal?
222
00:09:58,162 --> 00:10:00,425
'Come on, Frank.
I stole that guy's trade-in.'
223
00:10:00,512 --> 00:10:02,036
The deal should have been
two-pounder, easy.
224
00:10:02,123 --> 00:10:03,341
Would you lower
your voice, please?
225
00:10:03,428 --> 00:10:05,692
You got a problem,
take it up with Mickey.
226
00:10:05,779 --> 00:10:08,259
Please, sir, wait.
Sir, please.
227
00:10:08,346 --> 00:10:10,784
Someone has misplaced
Mr. Hathaway's keys
228
00:10:10,871 --> 00:10:12,524
to the Chevy Nova.
229
00:10:12,612 --> 00:10:14,744
I'll get right on that, Sanil.
Perhaps Mr. Hathaway would like
230
00:10:14,831 --> 00:10:18,356
to take one of our vehicles
home tonight, huh?
231
00:10:18,443 --> 00:10:19,880
Tell you what, sir.
Take the car home.
232
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:21,142
'Bring it back
tomorrow, huh?'
233
00:10:21,229 --> 00:10:22,186
- Donna.
- Yeah.
234
00:10:22,273 --> 00:10:23,492
Stay late tonight?
235
00:10:23,579 --> 00:10:24,928
Yeah, you know,
about that, Mickey.
236
00:10:25,015 --> 00:10:26,843
I've been busting my hump
around here.
237
00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:28,932
We all appreciate
your hump, babe.
238
00:10:29,019 --> 00:10:31,456
Just give me a chance, alright?
Let me sell a car.
239
00:10:31,543 --> 00:10:34,155
Who's gonna do your job,
sweetheart, hmm?
240
00:10:34,242 --> 00:10:36,244
You know that Lincoln Mark
trade that came in yesterday?
241
00:10:36,331 --> 00:10:38,115
I know someone right now
I could flip it to.
242
00:10:38,202 --> 00:10:39,508
Alright, we'll see.
243
00:10:39,595 --> 00:10:41,118
What about tonight?
244
00:10:43,947 --> 00:10:46,515
Hey, you want your shot?
245
00:10:46,602 --> 00:10:47,864
Pay your dues.
246
00:10:49,779 --> 00:10:51,172
I gotta stay late.
247
00:10:51,259 --> 00:10:53,696
Can you drop Marisa off
at my mom's, please?
248
00:10:53,783 --> 00:10:55,393
Alright, alright.
249
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:56,438
Bye, baby.
250
00:11:00,398 --> 00:11:03,053
Single mom, no degree,
what are you gonna do?
251
00:11:03,140 --> 00:11:06,491
We found Donna's body
in the trunk of a '73 Eldorado.
252
00:11:06,578 --> 00:11:08,232
'You know anybody who drove
that kind of car?'
253
00:11:08,319 --> 00:11:12,584
No, but I wouldn't know
a K-car from a Corolla.
254
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:14,021
'That was Donna's thing.'
255
00:11:14,108 --> 00:11:16,588
She could tell the car
a guy drove
256
00:11:16,676 --> 00:11:17,938
by the shoes he wore.
257
00:11:18,025 --> 00:11:19,287
Lot of late nights
at the dealer?
258
00:11:19,374 --> 00:11:20,854
Maybe too many.
259
00:11:20,941 --> 00:11:23,726
I know it was really hard
on little Marisa.
260
00:11:25,510 --> 00:11:28,209
But her mom did the best
that she could.
261
00:11:35,259 --> 00:11:39,133
Boss, Auto Squad found
a VIN number on that Eldorado.
262
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:41,352
Tracked the DMV records
on the owner.
263
00:11:41,439 --> 00:11:42,745
Marshall Brooks.
We got him?
264
00:11:42,832 --> 00:11:44,225
He died a couple
years ago
265
00:11:44,312 --> 00:11:48,577
but he traded in
the Caddy to Steed Motors
266
00:11:48,664 --> 00:11:50,057
the week before
Donna disappeared.
267
00:11:50,144 --> 00:11:51,667
What's was the name
of that sales manager
268
00:11:51,754 --> 00:11:52,668
who gave a statement
back in '81?
269
00:11:52,755 --> 00:11:54,061
'It was Mickey Thompson'
270
00:11:54,148 --> 00:11:56,324
today the proud owner
of Steed Motors.
271
00:12:05,420 --> 00:12:06,726
Thank you.
272
00:12:08,858 --> 00:12:10,512
You boys let me know
when the Philly PD
273
00:12:10,599 --> 00:12:12,079
is ready to upgrade.
274
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:13,645
I'll get you into something
with real punch.

in five seconds.'
276
00:12:16,387 --> 00:12:18,781
'Volume deal,
below invoice.'
277
00:12:18,868 --> 00:12:20,827
Brass gets the new cars.
278
00:12:20,914 --> 00:12:23,612
We drive the beaters
till the wheels fall off.
279
00:12:23,699 --> 00:12:25,745
Personally, I prefer
the American classics
280
00:12:25,832 --> 00:12:30,227
like the '73 Eldorado we found
Donna D'Amico's body in.
281
00:12:30,314 --> 00:12:32,012
That's a shame.
282
00:12:32,099 --> 00:12:33,709
That gal was a real pistol.
283
00:12:33,796 --> 00:12:35,537
You gave a statement,
said, uh
284
00:12:35,624 --> 00:12:37,452
she left work at 7 o'clock
that night.
285
00:12:37,539 --> 00:12:39,149
Sounds right.
286
00:12:39,236 --> 00:12:40,498
Failed to mention it was
in the trunk of the Caddy
287
00:12:40,585 --> 00:12:41,543
headed for the salvage yard.
288
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:42,979
Title traced back to this lot
289
00:12:43,066 --> 00:12:44,459
when you were
sales manager, Mickey.
290
00:12:44,546 --> 00:12:46,156
Lot of cars come through, guys.
291
00:12:46,243 --> 00:12:47,505
The beaters go in one door
and out the next.
292
00:12:47,592 --> 00:12:49,246
Sold off for parts.
293
00:12:49,333 --> 00:12:50,552
But before or after
you stripped the VIN number?
294
00:12:50,639 --> 00:12:52,946
[chuckles]
Hey, hold your horses.
295
00:12:53,033 --> 00:12:55,470
Now, who's the owner
that traded that car in?
296
00:12:55,557 --> 00:12:57,385
Marshall Brooks.
297
00:12:57,472 --> 00:13:00,562
No, I don't remember the car,
but I remember him.
298
00:13:00,649 --> 00:13:02,346
Repeat customer.
One of Bruce's clients.
299
00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:05,001
- Bruce?
- Bruce Donnelly.
300
00:13:05,088 --> 00:13:07,917
Must have taken the Caddy
off trade.
301
00:13:08,004 --> 00:13:10,485
Lot of cash slipped away
on used cars back then.
302
00:13:10,572 --> 00:13:11,703
You're saying this guy
dumped the Caddy?
303
00:13:11,791 --> 00:13:13,705
Well, if it was a clunker
304
00:13:13,793 --> 00:13:15,751
he could have had it stripped
for parts and sent to salvage.
305
00:13:15,838 --> 00:13:17,797
And this Bruce
had a problem with Donna?
306
00:13:17,884 --> 00:13:20,103
Not when she was
getting him coffee.
307
00:13:20,190 --> 00:13:21,452
Donna was a go-getter.
308
00:13:21,539 --> 00:13:23,019
Hey, you wanna play
with the boys..
309
00:13:23,106 --> 00:13:24,368
[chuckles]
310
00:13:24,455 --> 00:13:26,806
...you gotta roll
with the punches.
311
00:13:26,893 --> 00:13:29,286
[Blue Oyster Cult's singing
"Burnin' For You"]
312
00:13:29,373 --> 00:13:30,810
Yo, Donna.
313
00:13:32,550 --> 00:13:33,987
I just talked to the Tower.
314
00:13:34,074 --> 00:13:35,553
He sees you've been working
your tail off.
315
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,338
I told him you could have
the next up.
316
00:13:37,425 --> 00:13:38,905
Come on.
Mickey went for that?
317
00:13:38,992 --> 00:13:40,297
Yo, Mickey.
318
00:13:40,384 --> 00:13:42,822
Yeah, give it
to the green pea.
319
00:13:42,909 --> 00:13:44,693
'Guy's looking
for his daughter.'
320
00:13:44,780 --> 00:13:46,129
'I sold him a car
two years ago.'
321
00:13:46,216 --> 00:13:47,783
'He's a whale.'
322
00:13:47,870 --> 00:13:49,524
I thought Sanil had next up.
323
00:13:49,611 --> 00:13:52,005
Sanil couldn't close a door
with two hands and an arm.
324
00:13:52,092 --> 00:13:53,310
Look, you work this right
325
00:13:53,397 --> 00:13:56,270
this could be worth a pound
or maybe two.
326
00:13:56,357 --> 00:13:58,707
I know everything
about that car, inside out.
327
00:13:58,794 --> 00:13:59,839
Get him on the hook.
328
00:13:59,926 --> 00:14:01,101
You tell him
to follow you inside.
329
00:14:01,188 --> 00:14:04,191
Don't even turn around,
alright?
330
00:14:04,278 --> 00:14:07,281
Go on.
Go make me proud.
331
00:14:07,368 --> 00:14:08,848
Thanks, Bruce.
332
00:14:12,416 --> 00:14:13,765
Show time.
333
00:14:16,072 --> 00:14:18,858
Come inside?
334
00:14:18,945 --> 00:14:21,556
So the guy wants to know if
we'll take a check, full amount.
335
00:14:21,643 --> 00:14:23,819
Damn! I knew that guy
was a laydown.
336
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:25,865
How about that? Didn't even have
to get him in the box.
337
00:14:25,952 --> 00:14:27,301
That's gotta be some kind
of a record
338
00:14:27,388 --> 00:14:29,042
writing the check
on the hood of a car.
339
00:14:29,129 --> 00:14:31,740
Don't I still have to get him
inside? Sign paperwork?
340
00:14:31,827 --> 00:14:33,873
Yeah, why don't you get him
to wallpaper the showroom
341
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,396
with his checks
while you're at it?
342
00:14:35,483 --> 00:14:37,050
I thought Bruce
sold him a car.
343
00:14:37,137 --> 00:14:38,616
Every schmuck on the lot
sold that flake a car.
344
00:14:38,703 --> 00:14:40,662
Every month
for the past five years.
345
00:14:40,749 --> 00:14:41,837
What are you guys
talking about?
346
00:14:41,924 --> 00:14:43,230
The guys a major hoople.
347
00:14:43,317 --> 00:14:45,449
He just likes talking
to car salesmen.
348

00:29:50,005 --> 00:29:51,877
But once they sign..
693
00:29:51,964 --> 00:29:53,400
...they're gonna
pay for it for years.
694
00:29:53,487 --> 00:29:55,054
Oh, Donna got it, Frank.
695
00:29:55,141 --> 00:29:56,490
She just did it her way.
696
00:29:56,577 --> 00:29:58,492
It just turned out to be
bad for your business.
697
00:29:58,579 --> 00:30:01,103
Donna figured out how the real
money was made on the lot.
698
00:30:01,190 --> 00:30:02,975
And that put her
in direct conflict
699
00:30:03,062 --> 00:30:05,455
with someone a lot more
dangerous than me.
700
00:30:09,068 --> 00:30:10,634
Who the hell do
you think you are?
701
00:30:10,721 --> 00:30:12,854
Telling customers not to buy
add-ons or financing.
702
00:30:12,941 --> 00:30:14,247
Why, so you can
rape my customers
703
00:30:14,334 --> 00:30:15,639
on the back end, Frank?
704
00:30:15,726 --> 00:30:17,163
You don't know
when to quit.
705
00:30:17,250 --> 00:30:18,860
Hey, she's right, Frank.
706
00:30:18,947 --> 00:30:21,384
All you young sharks
are destroying our business.
707
00:30:21,471 --> 00:30:23,952
You rip a customer's head off
on a deal, they never come back.
708
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:25,388
Stay out of this, Oscar.
709
00:30:25,475 --> 00:30:27,608
Kills all our referrals,
all our repeat business.
710
00:30:27,695 --> 00:30:29,218
You don't sell a man one car.
711
00:30:29,305 --> 00:30:31,438
You sell him a dozen cars
over a lifetime.
712
00:30:31,525 --> 00:30:32,874
That's a profession,
damn it.
713
00:30:32,961 --> 00:30:35,746
Go blow a sale,
you old bag of wind.
714
00:30:38,793 --> 00:30:40,012
Why would I help you, Frank?
715
00:30:40,099 --> 00:30:41,970
You're selling cars
out from under me.
716
00:30:42,057 --> 00:30:43,189
What are you talking about?
717
00:30:43,276 --> 00:30:45,234
I had a guy on the hook
the other day
718
00:30:45,321 --> 00:30:47,758
selling a '72 Chevelle
only to find out
719
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,673
it had already
been sold.
720
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,241
That wasn't my call. That car
was promised to the wholesaler.
721
00:30:52,328 --> 00:30:54,591
For a song. I know
the Blue Book on that car.
722
00:30:54,678 --> 00:30:55,984
I could have sold it
for twice that.
723
00:30:56,071 --> 00:30:57,246
Talk to the Tower.
724
00:30:57,333 --> 00:30:59,031
Who, Mickey?
725
00:30:59,118 --> 00:31:02,425
Why would we dump a good car
for that much less?
726
00:31:02,512 --> 00:31:04,253
If you know what's
good for you, lady..
727
00:31:04,340 --> 00:31:07,082
...you talk to your boss before
selling another used car.
728
00:31:10,607 --> 00:31:12,305
Donna figured out
the sales manager
729
00:31:12,392 --> 00:31:13,654
was giving the best trade-ins
730
00:31:13,741 --> 00:31:15,264
to the wholesaler for peanuts.
731
00:31:15,351 --> 00:31:17,136
Mickey?
Why would he do that?
732
00:31:17,223 --> 00:31:19,007
Kickbacks. He was
lining his pockets.
733
00:31:19,094 --> 00:31:20,487
Screwing over
the dealership owner
734
00:31:20,574 --> 00:31:21,662
and Donna knew it.
735
00:31:21,749 --> 00:31:23,229
But you signed her timecard.
736
00:31:23,316 --> 00:31:25,927
Said Donna left
at 7:00 that night.
737
00:31:26,014 --> 00:31:27,842
Mickey had me do that
for everybody.
738
00:31:27,929 --> 00:31:29,496
I closed a deal that night.
739
00:31:29,583 --> 00:31:31,193
She was there at least
till 10:00.
740
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,500
He had you take care of that
old Cadillac too, Frank?
741
00:31:33,587 --> 00:31:35,197
Me? No.
742
00:31:35,284 --> 00:31:37,069
Mickey decided what happened
to every trade-in.
743
00:31:37,156 --> 00:31:39,985
Whether it went to the lot,
wholesaler..
744
00:31:40,072 --> 00:31:41,725
...or the salvage yard.
745
00:31:50,517 --> 00:31:52,301
[chuckles]
Got me in the box,
Detective?
746
00:31:52,388 --> 00:31:53,912
Yep.
747
00:31:53,999 --> 00:31:57,263
Well, I've done this
to thousands of customers.
748
00:31:57,350 --> 00:32:01,006
Unlike those schmucks,
I know I can walk anytime.
749
00:32:01,093 --> 00:32:03,051
Yeah, you made quite
a living ripping people off.
750
00:32:03,138 --> 00:32:04,400
People always think
they're getting ripped off.
751
00:32:04,487 --> 00:32:06,098
Look, you're trying
to get the best deal
752
00:32:06,185 --> 00:32:07,142
I'm trying to make a living.
753
00:32:07,229 --> 00:32:08,752
I just don't like to lose.
754
00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:11,103
Talking about you
ripping off your boss off..
755
00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:12,408
...the dealership owner.
756
00:32:12,495 --> 00:32:13,975
Stole so much
you became one yourself.
757
00:32:14,062 --> 00:32:15,585
Bunch of twaddle.
758
00:32:15,672 --> 00:32:17,196
The smart owner knows
every guy on the lot
759
00:32:17,283 --> 00:32:18,849
is working some kind of scam.
760
00:32:18,937 --> 00:32:21,287
Too bad Donna figured out
your big used car scam.
761
00:32:21,374 --> 00:32:23,419
'She didn't leave
at 7 o'clock like you said.'
762
00:32:23,506 --> 00:32:24,986
'She stuck around
to confront you.'
763
00:32:25,073 --> 00:32:26,770
You got nothing.
764
00:32:26,857 --> 00:32:29,599
One of your old lackeys clued
us in as to how you worked
765
00:32:29,686 --> 00:32:32,602
the break-in, the inside job,
insurance fraud.
766
00:32:32,689 --> 00:32:34,561
Sounds like I need
better lackeys.
767
00:32:34,648 --> 00:32:36,345
Willing to testify
that you sent
768
00:32:36,432 --> 00:32:38,521
that '73 Caddy
to the salvage yard.
769
00:32:38,608 --> 00:32:40,654
'With Donna's body
in the trunk.'
770
00:32:43,439 --> 00:32:45,659
[Nick]
'The only thing we care about
here is the homicide, Mick.'
771
00:32:45,746 --> 00:32:47,008
Who told you this nonsense?
772
00:32:47,095 --> 00:32:48,183
Frank?
773
00:32:48,270 --> 00:32:49,228
Let's see..
774
00:32:49,315 --> 00:32:50,577
[clears throat]
775
00:32:50,664 --> 00:32:53,667
The price for homicide
is life.
776
00:32:53,754 --> 00:32:56,148
Plus fees, which..
777
00:32:56,235 --> 00:32:58,324
...you'll be paying
on the inside.
778
00:32:58,411 --> 00:33:02,981
'Now your down payment
so far, is zero.'
779
00:33:03,068 --> 00:33:04,939
What do you want your
monthly payment to be?
780
00:33:05,026 --> 00:33:06,854
Unless of course,
you're offering a trade-in?
781
00:33:06,941 --> 00:33:09,509
Do you have anything
to trade, Mick?
782
00:33:09,596 --> 00:33:11,337
'Except a bunch of bull?'
783
00:33:11,424 --> 00:33:13,121
See..
784
00:33:13,208 --> 00:33:14,514
I'm willing to go
to bat for you
785
00:33:14,601 --> 00:33:16,081
but you gotta
give something up.
786
00:33:16,168 --> 00:33:17,691
You gotta...you gotta
meet me in the middle.
787
00:33:17,778 --> 00:33:19,475
My boss..
788
00:33:19,562 --> 00:33:22,130
[chuckles]
...he's gonna
hammer me on this one.
789
00:33:25,220 --> 00:33:26,352
So this is your best offer.
790
00:33:29,181 --> 00:33:31,313
'I don't think it's gonna
get this deal done.'
791
00:33:34,925 --> 00:33:37,058
I liked Donna.
792
00:33:37,145 --> 00:33:40,496
Gotta hand it to her.
She was a hell of a salesman.
793
00:33:40,583 --> 00:33:42,672
In some ways, too good.
794
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,327
- 'At selling cars?'
- Used cars.
795
00:33:45,414 --> 00:33:47,503
She had an eye for it.
796
00:33:47,590 --> 00:33:49,592
She knew what a car
was really worth.
797
00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:52,204
Like the ones you sent back to
the wholesalers for kickbacks?
798
00:33:52,291 --> 00:33:54,206
Couldn't let her kill
the golden goose.
799
00:33:54,293 --> 00:33:55,946
So I offered her a deal.
800
00:34:11,875 --> 00:34:13,486
I know what you're
doing, Mickey.
801
00:34:13,573 --> 00:34:15,792
You know just enough
to get yourself in trouble.
802
00:34:15,879 --> 00:34:17,185
Close the door.
803
00:34:22,277 --> 00:34:24,671
Me? You're the one
stealing this place blind.
804
00:34:24,758 --> 00:34:25,889
You're screwing over
the owner.
805
00:34:25,976 --> 00:34:27,065
The owner thinks
I'm a hero
806
00:34:27,152 --> 00:34:28,631
'cause I make him
a lot of money.
807
00:34:28,718 --> 00:34:31,069
You?
808
00:34:31,156 --> 00:34:33,593
Well, he doesn't even know
your name, sweetheart.
809
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,552
All I wanted was
a chance to sell, you know.
810
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:38,511
A chance to prove myself.
811
00:34:38,598 --> 00:34:41,340
Yeah, yeah, and you got that.
Thanks to me.
812
00:34:41,427 --> 00:34:43,820
Huh? Congratulations.
813
00:34:46,823 --> 00:34:48,782
You got your bonus.
814
00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:50,262
Fair and square.
815
00:34:50,349 --> 00:34:53,569
Tops on the board,
profit-wise.
816
00:34:53,656 --> 00:34:55,745
And there's plenty more
where that came from.
817
00:34:55,832 --> 00:34:57,573
You know, Oscar was right.
818
00:34:57,660 --> 00:34:59,358
We keep doing business
like this
819
00:34:59,445 --> 00:35:00,750
and there ain't gonna be
any business left.
820
00:35:00,837 --> 00:35:02,448
Oscar? Why you listening
to Oscar for?
821
00:35:02,535 --> 00:35:04,232
He hasn't
sold a car in months.
822
00:35:04,319 --> 00:35:05,668
What do you mean? I thought
you took him off the board
823
00:35:05,755 --> 00:35:06,974
to handle fleet sales.
824
00:35:07,061 --> 00:35:09,107
Oscar couldn't handle
a yard sale.
825
00:35:09,194 --> 00:35:10,412
'Would've fired him
a long time ago'
826
00:35:10,499 --> 00:35:12,545
but I felt bad
for the old guy.
827
00:35:12,632 --> 00:35:14,416
Let him wash cars
to earn his keep around here.
828
00:35:14,503 --> 00:35:16,070
I earned this.
829
00:35:16,157 --> 00:35:17,202
For me and for 'Riss.
830
00:35:17,289 --> 00:35:19,291
- Sure, kid.
- Yeah.
831
00:35:19,378 --> 00:35:21,554
Hey, hey..
But in the future?
832
00:35:21,641 --> 00:35:24,122
You check with me before
you sell a trade-in.
833
00:35:27,995 --> 00:35:29,475
Never came back.
834
00:35:29,562 --> 00:35:30,911
Thought she took
the money and ran.
835
00:35:30,998 --> 00:35:32,913
Tell me about this Oscar,
the has-been.
836
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,524
Tough racket, selling cars.
Game just passed him by.
837
00:35:35,611 --> 00:35:37,439
Was he there the night
that Donna disappeared?
838
00:35:37,526 --> 00:35:38,701
Every night.
839
00:35:38,788 --> 00:35:40,703
He had a lot of cars to wash.
840
00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:42,662
Even let the old guy lock up.
841
00:35:46,361 --> 00:35:48,668
They pulled DMV records
on an Oscar Anderson.
842
00:35:48,755 --> 00:35:52,498
Found his name registered
to a 1971 Cadillac Eldorado.
843
00:35:52,585 --> 00:35:55,675
'71? Donna's body was found
in the trunk of a '73.
844
00:35:55,762 --> 00:35:57,242
Right, a salvage yard beater.
845
00:35:57,329 --> 00:35:59,418
But the models share a lot
of the same parts
846
00:35:59,505 --> 00:36:01,159
and those require upkeep.
You know, seats, wheels
847
00:36:01,246 --> 00:36:02,856
'bumpers, you name it.'
848
00:36:02,943 --> 00:36:04,031
It's possible Oscar was
taking parts off the beater
849
00:36:04,118 --> 00:36:05,424
for a '71 Caddy.
850
00:36:05,511 --> 00:36:06,947
Yeah, didn't know
he was gonna need it
851
00:36:07,034 --> 00:36:08,731
that night to hide a body.
852
00:36:14,607 --> 00:36:17,349
Power locks, power
steering, power roof.
853
00:36:17,436 --> 00:36:19,046
It's a car ahead
of its time.
854
00:36:19,133 --> 00:36:20,743
Won it back in '71.
855
00:36:20,830 --> 00:36:22,136
'Top man on the board.'
856
00:36:22,223 --> 00:36:23,659
'Nine out of 12 months.'
857
00:36:23,746 --> 00:36:25,618
- A real classic.
- Oh, yeah.
858
00:36:25,705 --> 00:36:28,621
Bet you Donna could appreciate
a car like this.
859
00:36:28,708 --> 00:36:31,058
She turned out to be
a pretty shrewd sales gal.
860
00:36:31,145 --> 00:36:32,712
'Got to admit that.'
861
00:36:32,799 --> 00:36:35,541
Kind of a shame how it
ended for you there, Oscar.
862
00:36:35,628 --> 00:36:37,107
'At the dealership.'
863
00:36:37,195 --> 00:36:39,284
Oh, I had my cold spells.
864
00:36:39,371 --> 00:36:40,894
'But I'll tell you this.'
865
00:36:40,981 --> 00:36:43,636
When I was on a roll,
there was nobody hotter.
866
00:36:43,723 --> 00:36:47,292
Mickey told us you hadn't
sold a car in months.
867
00:36:47,379 --> 00:36:48,945
You lied to us, Oscar.
868
00:36:49,032 --> 00:36:51,121
[Rush]
'Said you were out
celebrating some sale.'
869
00:36:51,209 --> 00:36:53,733
Boozing with the boys
the night Donna disappeared.
870
00:36:53,820 --> 00:36:55,778
Well, that's ridiculous.
871
00:36:55,865 --> 00:36:58,651
I don't remember if
it was that exact night.
872
00:36:58,738 --> 00:37:01,088
You should, 'cause you
were there on the lot.
873
00:37:01,175 --> 00:37:02,742
Out back washing cars.
874
00:37:02,829 --> 00:37:04,961
You were the next Hoover.
875
00:37:05,048 --> 00:37:07,181
One step away from hawking
vacuum cleaners.
876
00:37:07,268 --> 00:37:09,879
- Magazines, telemarketing--
- Now, wait just a damn minute.
877
00:37:09,966 --> 00:37:12,186
I had a run of bad luck
is all.
878
00:37:12,273 --> 00:37:14,101
But my customers
always came back to me.
879
00:37:14,188 --> 00:37:15,494
You were done, Oscar.
880
00:37:15,581 --> 00:37:17,060
Doing chores for Mickey.
881
00:37:17,147 --> 00:37:19,106
Locking up, taking
the beaters to salvage.
882
00:37:19,193 --> 00:37:20,934
Yeah, like that '73 Caddy.
883
00:37:21,021 --> 00:37:22,283
And when you stripped
the VIN number off
884
00:37:22,370 --> 00:37:23,937
'probably some parts, too.'
885
00:37:24,024 --> 00:37:27,332
'71 never had
an egg-crate style grill.
886
00:37:27,419 --> 00:37:28,681
It's 'cause it's from a '73.
887
00:37:28,768 --> 00:37:30,160
Oh, come on.
888
00:37:30,248 --> 00:37:31,292
We take this car apart
we're gonna find
889
00:37:31,379 --> 00:37:32,859
more parts from that '73?
890
00:37:32,946 --> 00:37:34,861
- You can't do that.
- You got careless, Oscar.
891
00:37:34,948 --> 00:37:36,689
You dumped the body,
but you took the parts.
892
00:37:36,776 --> 00:37:39,039
Stole her money, and left her
to rot in that junkyard.
893
00:37:39,126 --> 00:37:41,389
But, hey, you sent Donna's
family a Christmas card.
894
00:37:41,476 --> 00:37:43,173
Marisa saved it. It's got
your handwriting on it.
895
00:37:43,261 --> 00:37:45,045
Did you really think that would
make up for killing her mother?
896
00:37:45,132 --> 00:37:49,484
I didn't kill that woman.
And I did not steal her bonus.
897
00:37:49,571 --> 00:37:50,964
What bonus, Oscar?
898
00:37:53,923 --> 00:37:55,838
How'd you know she got
a bonus, Oscar?
899
00:37:55,925 --> 00:37:57,100
You just told me.
900
00:37:57,187 --> 00:37:58,798
'No, we said
you took her money.'
901
00:37:58,885 --> 00:38:00,452
Now how'd you know about
the bonus she got that night?
902
00:38:00,539 --> 00:38:02,236
Now hold on a minute.
Just wait a second.
903
00:38:02,323 --> 00:38:05,674
I'm trying to explain.
I... I want to..
904
00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:12,072
[exhales sharply]
905
00:38:12,159 --> 00:38:14,727
It wasn't me that changed.
906
00:38:14,814 --> 00:38:17,469
You know, it...
it was the business.
907
00:38:20,123 --> 00:38:22,387
You give me a quality car
908
00:38:22,474 --> 00:38:25,477
bet your ass, I could
still close 'em.
909
00:38:25,564 --> 00:38:26,826
Sure you could.
910
00:38:28,654 --> 00:38:30,395
We can work something
out here, right?
911
00:38:30,482 --> 00:38:32,832
We...we can work
something out?
912
00:38:32,919 --> 00:38:35,313
Yeah, we can work
something out.
913
00:38:43,233 --> 00:38:45,932
Just a spell of bad luck,
that's all it was.
914
00:38:47,455 --> 00:38:49,501
If I could have just
broken through..
915
00:38:52,504 --> 00:38:55,071
I'd have been right back
on top of that board.
916
00:39:01,034 --> 00:39:02,514
Hey, Oscar.
917
00:39:02,601 --> 00:39:05,386
Oh, hey, Donna.
918
00:39:07,214 --> 00:39:09,782
Just prepping a car
for an appointment tomorrow.
919
00:39:12,741 --> 00:39:14,874
It's good to see you
still get repeat business.
920
00:39:14,961 --> 00:39:16,397
Well, it's the only way.
921
00:39:16,484 --> 00:39:17,833
You build a reputation
922
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,445
it's about repeats
and referrals.
923
00:39:20,532 --> 00:39:23,448
Matter of time, I'm back on
a roll bucking for that bonus.
924
00:39:25,450 --> 00:39:27,843
Hey, who won it this time,
by the way?
925
00:39:27,930 --> 00:39:31,020
I sold another car
today, Oscar.
926
00:39:31,107 --> 00:39:32,805
- I got the bonus.
- What?
927
00:39:32,892 --> 00:39:35,024
- Really?
- Yeah.
928
00:39:35,111 --> 00:39:37,070
I..
929
00:39:37,157 --> 00:39:39,986
That's great, kid!
Congratulations!
930
00:39:40,073 --> 00:39:42,815
Yeah.
931
00:39:42,902 --> 00:39:44,425
So how'd you close
that baby?
932
00:39:46,122 --> 00:39:48,211
You know, I just knew
what the guy wanted.
933
00:39:48,298 --> 00:39:50,431
And I let the sale
come to me.
934
00:39:50,518 --> 00:39:52,651
Like you say.
935
00:39:52,738 --> 00:39:55,131
Get a real charge
out of it, too.
936
00:39:55,218 --> 00:39:56,959
Oh, don't I know it.
937
00:39:57,046 --> 00:39:58,787
That feeling
never gets old.
938
00:39:58,874 --> 00:40:01,050
You see this car here,
came on the lot today?
939
00:40:01,137 --> 00:40:02,922
- 'Yeah, the Impala.'
- Yeah.
940
00:40:05,490 --> 00:40:08,667
Back in '72, I must have
sold 20 of these babies
941
00:40:08,754 --> 00:40:10,799
the minute they
hit the lot.
942
00:40:10,886 --> 00:40:12,584
Still a good car.
943
00:40:12,671 --> 00:40:14,890
People just don't, uh..
944
00:40:14,977 --> 00:40:17,502
...hold on to them anymore.
945
00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:19,242
Harold Bloom.
Look at that.
946
00:40:19,329 --> 00:40:21,331
Yeah, that's his trade-in.
947
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:23,943
That's the guy
I sold the car to today.
948
00:40:24,030 --> 00:40:25,901
I know Harold.
949
00:40:25,988 --> 00:40:27,990
I sold him this car.
950
00:40:28,077 --> 00:40:29,992
- You sold him this car?
- This Impala?
951
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:31,603
Harold's my client!
952
00:40:31,690 --> 00:40:33,256
You know what I had to do
to make this sale?
953
00:40:33,343 --> 00:40:35,650
- Look, he just came in.
- He didn't ask for you.
954
00:40:35,737 --> 00:40:37,652
- Why the hell not?
- I don't know.
955
00:40:37,739 --> 00:40:40,525
Look, I feel terrible.
I am so sorry.
956
00:40:40,612 --> 00:40:41,961
I'll split the commission
with you.
957
00:40:42,048 --> 00:40:43,615
I don't want your charity!
958
00:40:43,702 --> 00:40:46,008
You know,
it's just, it's not right.
959
00:40:46,095 --> 00:40:47,923
It's not
how you do business.
960
00:40:50,883 --> 00:40:52,754
I feel horrible.
961
00:40:55,017 --> 00:40:57,933
- You don't have to do this.
- Do what?
962
00:40:58,020 --> 00:40:59,587
You don't have to
wash cars for Mickey

00:40:59,674 --> 00:41:01,154

something else.'

How dare you?

You know, I'm not some vacuum
cleaner salesman.

Who do you think
you're talking to?
