:49:00
Nothing to do but cut and run.
:49:03
What else?
:49:05
What about the old American
social custom of self-defense?
:49:09
If the police don't defend us,
maybe we ought to do it ourselves.
:49:14
We're not pioneers anymore, Dad.
:49:18
- What are we, Jack?
- What do you mean?
:49:21
I mean, if we're not pioneers,
what have we become?
:49:25
What do you call people...
:49:28
...who, when faced
with a condition of fear...
:49:31
...do nothing about it?
They just run and hide.
:49:36
Civilized?
:49:41
No.
:49:47
Ladies and gentlemen, we have to start
this investigation somewhere.
:49:52
So let's start here.
:49:59

:50:03

who's had a member of his family...
:50:16
...killed by muggers.
:50:18
Now, he shoots that pistol
pretty good, right?
:50:25
Okay.
:50:27
Combat veteran.
:50:29
Put Vietnam vets at the top of the
list because they're young and tough.
:50:34
Then work through
Korea and World War II.
:50:37
Oh, my God.
:50:40
Who said that?
:50:44
Whoever said it,
you're right on the button.
:50:47
By God and Jesus Christ,
it's impossible.
:50:52
But until we find a shortcut,
we at least keep busy.
:50:58
So when the media demands to know
what we are doing...
