Hello?
Mr. Templer?
Yes?
Joe Collins. Remember me?
Joe, sure I do. How are you, chap? It's been a long time.
Yeah, I know.
How does Simon Templer get involved with Joe Collins?
Hey, your fight still on for tomorrow night?
Yeah. Say, could you do me a big favor, Saint? Could you come down to the gym right away?
Sure, but what is it?
I'll tell you when you get here. I need to talk to somebody I can trust.
I need to, real bad. Ah, I'll phone for a cab and be there in 20 minutes. Oh, thanks, Saint. Thanks. Oh, don't thank me, Joe. After all, I've got a bet on you tomorrow night. I've got to protect my investment. You've got a bet on me?
What unexpected situation does Simon encounter with the baby?
Call it off, Saint. Call it off. What?
So long.
Yes? It's Louie, Mr. Templer. Your cab is here. Oh, come on in, Louie. I'll be with you in a minute. Maybe you should better open the door right away. Well, why didn't you come in, Louie? The door was open.
Shh.
He's asleep. Oh?
What clues hint at trouble surrounding Joe Collins' fight?
Who's asleep? Mr. Templer, look down. Louie, it's a baby. You are so right. But why did you bring him here? I found him here. On your doorstep, Mr. Templer. Louie, don't you look at me that way. Who ain't opened his mouth even, Louie? Well, let's get him inside. You want to carry him? Maybe you better. All right. Up we go. Oh, he's waking up, Mr. Templer.
How does Simon learn about the threats against Joe Collins?
He's cute. Yeah, he is. What's your name, old fella?
Donnie. Hey, he talks.
What's your last name, Donnie?
Donnie.
Donnie, Donnie, huh? How did you get here, Donnie?
Donnie.
Here, let me try it, Mr. Temple. I got away with kids. Donnie, tell your Uncle Louie how you got here, huh?
Donnie.
The goldmine of information.
What actions does Simon take to protect Joe and his son?
Wait a minute, look. There's a note pinned on his coat. I understand that's traditional in such cases. Donnie. No, just a minute, Donnie. Here. Please, please keep him for a few days and don't tell anyone. Not even the police. Sounds like trouble, Mr. Templer. Yes, it does. Well, I guess you won't be needing my cab now, huh? Oh, hey, the champ. I forgot. Louie, how are you as a babysitter? Oh, me?
What is revealed about the relationship between Joe Collins and his wife?
Oh, no. Wait a minute, Mr. Templer. I'm a cab driver. You can't drive while you sit. My locals got rules. I'll be back in an hour, Louie. Just to make it official, I'll borrow your cab. Hey, hey, hey, what are you... It looks kind of funny on you at that. Hey, look at the funny man with the hat down here. Isn't that funny? No!
I'll see you later, Louie.
Come on, kid, use a little more left there. Get your shoulder into it. That's it.
How does the episode conclude with the fight's resolution?
That's better.
Excuse me, but where could I find Joe Collins?
Hold it a minute there, kid. Hold it. The champ? Yeah. He's right there, my friend, on the table. We're getting a rubdown.
We?
Yeah, Chadwick. The name's Sam Chadwick. I'm the champ's manager.
Oh, I'm Simon Templer. Joe said he wanted to see me.
Well, we did, eh? Well, I don't remember us doing that. Well, let's go in. Come on, let's go in. Take a blow, kid. I'll be right back.
Uh, how's Joe feeling?
Oh, we're in the greatest shape of our lives. The greatest. That fish, Shelly, hasn't got a chance tomorrow night. Don't belong in the same ring with us.
Two against one hardly seems fair. Two against... Oh, yeah.
Well, here we are, Mr. Templer. Hey, Chip, you know this gent? Sure. How are you, Saint?
I'm good, Joe. How have you been?
In the pink, the absolute rose-colored pink. I've been all right. That's enough, George. Thank you.
Hey, you want to talk now, Joe? Got here as soon as I could.
Talk? What about? We got anything to talk to Mr. Tepler about, champ? Saint, the fact is, well, I'm sorry I called you.
It was a mistake. It sounded pretty serious, Joe. Well, I guess I'm worked up for the fight tomorrow night with Michelle. You get, well, jumpy. It's the training that does it.
Yeah, sure, that's it. We're on edge, you know.
