Midnight Run (1988): Agreeing to Find Jonathan

The clip agreeing to find Jonathan from Midnight Run (1988) with Joe Pantoliano, Robert De Niro

You ever hear of Jonathan Mardukas?
The Duke. Yeah, I know who he is.
What do you know?
He's that accountant that embezzled millions from some Vegas wise guy.
He gave it to charity.
Very good.
Only thing is, it wasn't a couple of million. It was $15 million.
It wasn't some Vegas wise guy. It was Jimmy Serrano.
I know. I can read the papers.
Look, I don't wanna bring up the past, but...
isn't it Serrano who ran you out of Chicago when he was runnin' things then?
He didn't run me out.
You gave up bein' a cop to do this?
All right, what's the point?
The point, Jack?
I bailed out the accountant. I didn't know who he was at the time.
Had I known, there was no way I would've put up the bond.
It's only time before Serrano vanishes this guy from the planet...
and I'm out $450.000.
You're out $450.000 on this guy?
No, because I got you. You're the best. You'll find him and bring him back.
Yeah, right.
How do you know he's still alive?
Because this guy is crazy.
He sends postcards to Serrano...
tellin' him what a great time he's havin' with his money.
How much time do you got left?
Friday midnight I default.
I eat the $450.000.
This Friday?
That's five days. Forget it. You go find him. Give me my money.
Listen to me.
I'll give you $50 grand.
$50 grand? I gotta chase you down for $1.200. Forget it.
No, Jack, please...
Forget about it. What else you got?
This is it. If you don't find this guy, I'm outta business.
Eddie, I'll do it for $100.000.
$100.000! Are you outta your mind?
This is an easy gig. It's a midnight run, for Chris sakes!
Maybe you haven't noticed, but I'm tired of gettin' shot at.
I'm tired of this miserable fuckin' business, every lowlife that I run into.
If you're gonna pay me, you gotta pay me what's right.
