Mulholland Falls Page #6

Synopsis: This film is about the adventures of a 1940's special anti-gangster police squad in Los Angeles, the infamous 'Hat Squad.' The four members of this squad are big, tough, no-nonsense cops who don't hesitate to break the law, if it suits their purposes. When a local woman is murdered, their investigation turns up the fact that she had been romantically linked to several prominent men and had secret films taken of her liaisons. Since one of those men is the powerful U.S. Army General at the head of the then-new Atomic Energy Commission and another is the (married) leader of the Hat Squad, complications ensue. The FBI even gets involved in an attempted cover-up.

This is the Army.

I say we try the back way.

Five to one... I take those odds.

- You'll take it?

- Yeah.

Five to one?

- Here's my five.

- Here, you hold the money.

Make sure he knows that.

Sorry, sir. No civilian

admittance, no exceptions.

Did you talk to General Timms?

The General's unavailable, sir.

Did you tell him it

was police business?

Yes, sir. They said no civilian

admittance, no exceptions.

You lose, Coolidge.

You know, you could've talked

to him a little more, Max.

You owe me a buck.

Wait, wait, wait.

Amateur hour.

Seen too many movies, Relyea.

Sh*t.

- Come on, it's hot.

- I'll get it, I'll get it.

Let me try.

All right.

You know, when I was a kid, I thought

everybody in Hollywood had a horse.

Because every movie I

saw was a cowboy movie.

You remember those movies, right?

They would come galloping into town,

the cowboys would get off the

horse, dust all over the place.

They get the reins and

wrap it around the railing

once, twice, three times,

keep on wrapping it,

but Gene Autry?

Let me tell you something.

Gene Autry would come into

town, jump off the horse,

and carefully wrap the reins

around once, just once.

Then he would go inside

and see the sheriff.

Boy, did I worry about

that horse getting away.

I did.

What the hell is that?

This place is weird.

Jesus, what a big hole.

We just dropped the

damn thing right here?

Yup. That's what happens when

they set one off at ground level.

What happened to all the dirt?

Vaporized, along with

everything else.

We got company.

- Guess it's time to go, huh?

- Yeah.

Step on it.

Put your hands in the

air or you will be shot!

They're clean, sir.

You men are in violation

of federal law.

I could have you all shot.

Do you have some identification?

There you go.

Put your hands down, gentlemen.

"Lieutenant Hoover."

Los Angeles Police Department.

We're investigating a homicide, sir.

You're way out of your

jurisdiction, Lieutenant.

I'm going to assume that you

are aware of the penalties

for trespassing a federally

restricted area.

And for destruction of

government property.

We go where the case takes us.

Not if it takes you here you don't.

Out here it's military law.

And I'm in charge of enforcing it.

Captain?

Escort these gentlemen back

to the base and lock them up.

- Yes, sir.

- Colonel, sir?

Yes, sir.

On the perimeter, sir,

but they'd violated security...

I don't think that's

a good idea, sir.

Well, I don't think

that's a good idea, sir.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Put that one in the jeep.

The rest of them can

wait at the base.

- Sergeant!

- Miller, Resnick!

- Sergeant?

- Yes, sir.

If I see this vehicle in
