1
00:01:55,375 --> 00:01:57,275
Where's Bailey?
2
00:02:01,515 --> 00:02:04,006
Deaf and dumb, eh?
3
00:02:15,295 --> 00:02:17,490
Can you read lips?
4
00:02:18,165 --> 00:02:20,633
Where is Bailey?
5
00:02:22,502 --> 00:02:24,732
Coming back today?
6
00:02:26,273 --> 00:02:28,138
Come on.
7
00:02:56,036 --> 00:02:58,903
- Hello, Marny.
- Well, look who is back.
8
00:02:59,072 --> 00:03:00,562
- Did you dye your hair?
- Why?
9
00:03:00,740 --> 00:03:02,367
I keep thinking of you as a blond.
10
00:03:02,542 --> 00:03:05,511
For all the thinking you do about me,
I could be bald-headed.
11
00:03:05,679 --> 00:03:08,273
Ham on rye. Did you miss me, honey?
12
00:03:08,448 --> 00:03:11,349
If I didn't, I can't think
of anybody else who did.
13
00:03:11,518 --> 00:03:14,851
- One thing's sure, Bailey don't miss nothing.
- Neither do you.
14
00:03:15,021 --> 00:03:16,886
She's your girl,
and he ain't my man.
15
00:03:17,057 --> 00:03:19,855
So it's no skin off my nose.
I just see what I see.
16
00:03:20,026 --> 00:03:21,755
You sure you don't see what you hear?
17
00:03:21,928 --> 00:03:25,125
Nothing can happen in this town
that I don't hear about it.
18
00:03:25,298 --> 00:03:28,859
I'm just saying what I see.
Every day they go fishing together.
19
00:03:29,035 --> 00:03:30,559
Look, the sandwich.
20
00:03:30,737 --> 00:03:35,265
Two things I can smell inside 100 feet:
Burning hamburger and a romance.
21
00:03:35,442 --> 00:03:37,467
You got a customer.
22
00:03:37,644 --> 00:03:39,009
- What'll you have?
- Coffee.
23
00:03:39,179 --> 00:03:42,342
- Nothing else?
- Cream.
24
00:03:43,116 --> 00:03:45,084
- Where you been this time?
- L.A.
25
00:03:45,252 --> 00:03:46,947
- Coffee?
- No, thanks.
26
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,588
First she's got you,
now she's got you and Bailey.
27
00:03:49,756 --> 00:03:52,554
And the only thing I seem to get is older.
28
00:03:52,726 --> 00:03:55,217
Thanks a lot, Marny.
I'll see you later.
29
00:03:59,299 --> 00:04:01,460
I guess I must have said something.
30
00:04:01,635 --> 00:04:02,932
You talked enough.
31
00:04:03,603 --> 00:04:06,538
Everything people ought to know
they just don't want to hear.
32
00:04:06,706 --> 00:04:08,503
That's the trouble with the world.
33
00:04:08,675 --> 00:04:11,701
Either that or you're on the wrong
side of the counter.
34
00:04:11,878 --> 00:04:15,177
- Tell me something.
- You don't look as though I could.
35
00:04:15,348 --> 00:04:18,579
That Bailey who burns you up,
he run the gas station?
36
00:04:18,752 --> 00:04:21,880
- Do you know him?
- I might have once.
37
00:04:22,055 --> 00:04:25,183
If he keeps mooning around Jim's girl,
nobody'll know him...
38
00:04:25,358 --> 00:04:27,622
...and that'd be too bad.
39
00:04:27,794 --> 00:04:31,252
You see much of this Bailey?
40
00:04:31,431 --> 00:04:34,264
Yeah, every day from here.
41
00:04:34,434 --> 00:04:36,334
I often wondered what happened to him...
42
00:04:36,503 --> 00:04:41,065
...then one day I'm breezing through here,
and there's his name up on a sign.
43
00:04:41,541 --> 00:04:46,069
- It's a small world.
- Yeah, or a big sign.
44
00:05:02,128 --> 00:05:07,089
- They're just not feeding today.
- They will later. It's clouding up.
45
00:05:08,202 --> 00:05:10,864
They say the day you die,
your name is written on a cloud.
46
00:05:11,038 --> 00:05:13,029
- Who says?
- They.
47
00:05:13,207 --> 00:05:15,232
Never heard of them.
48
00:05:15,409 --> 00:05:18,469
Nothing in that one but rain.
Think we ought to go home?
49
00:05:18,646 --> 00:05:19,908
Yes.
50
00:05:20,081 --> 00:05:22,641
- Do you want to?
- No.
51
00:05:24,952 --> 00:05:28,820
Every time I look at the sky,
I think of all the places I've never been.
52
00:05:28,990 --> 00:05:32,482
Yes, and every time you look up,
they're all the same.
53
00:05:33,327 --> 00:05:36,660
- You've been a lot of places, haven't you?
- One too many.
54
00:05:36,831 --> 00:05:39,959
- Which did you like best?
- This one right here.
55
00:05:40,134 --> 00:05:43,934
- I bet you say that to all the places.
- You see that cove over there?
56
00:05:44,105 --> 00:05:45,970
I'd like to build a house right there...
57
00:05:46,140 --> 00:05:49,473
...marry you, live in it
and never go anywhere else.
58
00:05:50,177 --> 00:05:52,737
I wish you would.
59
00:05:59,487 --> 00:06:02,979
You were never married before, were you?
60
00:06:03,157 --> 00:06:05,250
Not that I can remember.
61
00:06:05,426 --> 00:06:07,189
That's good.
62
00:06:07,361 --> 00:06:10,330
You'd be amazed the way
people talk about you.
63
00:06:10,498 --> 00:06:13,831
The mysterious Jeff Bailey.
64
00:06:14,468 --> 00:06:18,404
My mother tells me that I've only
known you for such a short time.
65
00:06:18,572 --> 00:06:20,972
And where'd you come from?
And what did you do?
66
00:06:23,310 --> 00:06:25,835
My father was... .
67
00:06:36,724 --> 00:06:38,954
- We'd better go.
- Is something the matter?
68
00:06:39,126 --> 00:06:40,923
Maybe not.
69
00:06:44,799 --> 00:06:46,858
Here.
70
00:06:50,738 --> 00:06:53,866
You sure are a secret man.
71
00:06:56,010 --> 00:06:57,910
Thanks.
72
00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,105
Oh, a man just wants to see me.
73
00:07:21,802 --> 00:07:26,398
- A long time.
- Hello, Joe. I wish it was nicer to see you.
74
00:07:26,574 --> 00:07:29,737
Everyone sure missed you, Jeff,
but not as much as I have.
75
00:07:29,910 --> 00:07:31,901
- How's that?
- Whit used to look at me...
76
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:35,276
...shake his head,
and wish I had brains like you.
77
00:07:35,449 --> 00:07:39,351
- What's the other reason?
- I had to find you.
78
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,454
- I owe you something?
- Not me.
79
00:07:41,622 --> 00:07:43,317
Who?
80
00:07:43,491 --> 00:07:47,052
- How far can that kid read lips?
- I don't know. I'll ask him some time.
81
00:07:47,228 --> 00:07:49,059
This far?
82
00:07:49,230 --> 00:07:52,893
- You don't like to make mistakes, do you?
- They don't let me have many.
83
00:07:53,067 --> 00:07:55,331
All right, come on inside.
84
00:08:00,841 --> 00:08:05,175
- Funny racket to find you in, Jeff.
- Yeah, me and the kid laugh all the time.
85
00:08:05,346 --> 00:08:07,246
I guess that's because it's respectable.
86
00:08:07,414 --> 00:08:10,281
That hash slinger across
the street says you are too.
87
00:08:10,451 --> 00:08:14,046
- How did you happen to find me, Joe?
- I was driving down the road one day...
88
00:08:14,221 --> 00:08:19,249
...and who do I see pumping gasoline
but my old chum from the old times.
89
00:08:19,426 --> 00:08:21,587
Of course, there's a different
name on the sign.
90
00:08:21,762 --> 00:08:24,356
- So you just dropped in?
- Why not?
91
00:08:24,532 --> 00:08:27,501
Okay, then I'm glad to see an old pal too.
92
00:08:27,668 --> 00:08:31,434
So I take you to dinner, buy you
drinks, it gets late chewing the fat...
93
00:08:31,605 --> 00:08:33,869
...you hop in your car
and you're gone. Right?
94
00:08:34,041 --> 00:08:36,771
- Almost.
- What else?
95
00:08:36,944 --> 00:08:39,071
I'm still working for that guy, Jeff.
96
00:08:39,246 --> 00:08:41,373
- Whit?
- He'd like to see you.
97
00:08:41,549 --> 00:08:44,074
As much as you did?
98
00:08:44,251 --> 00:08:47,152
- Worse.
- I see.
99
00:08:47,321 --> 00:08:49,551
No one ever thought more of you than Whit.
100
00:08:49,723 --> 00:08:51,020
Or more about me.
101
00:08:51,192 --> 00:08:54,593
Well, that could be too.
102
00:08:54,762 --> 00:08:59,062
- All right, what's he want, Joe?
- Maybe he's got something nice for you.
103
00:08:59,233 --> 00:09:00,757
Try once more.
104
00:09:00,935 --> 00:09:04,371
Look, Whit never steered
you into anything bad, did he?
105
00:09:04,538 --> 00:09:08,133
Why, he never even squawked when
you blew the best thing he ever gave you.
106
00:09:08,309 --> 00:09:12,268
- Go on.
- The guy just wants to see you.
107
00:09:12,446 --> 00:09:14,380
Well, you put it that way, what can I do?
108
00:09:14,548 --> 00:09:17,210
You know of any other way to put it?
109
00:09:20,588 --> 00:09:22,749
- Say tomorrow morning?
- Where?
110
00:09:22,923 --> 00:09:28,452
Lake Tahoe. Turn right at Emerald Bay.
Big house on a hill. You won't miss it.
111
00:09:29,096 --> 00:09:31,656
You can't.
112
00:09:52,486 --> 00:09:56,388
Ann? John, are you letting
her out like this?
113
00:09:56,557 --> 00:10:01,392
Are you gonna stand for it, with a man
who won't even come to the door?
114
00:10:03,197 --> 00:10:05,961
Don't worry about them.
115
00:10:06,901 --> 00:10:09,563
- Darling.
- It's no good, is it?
116
00:10:09,970 --> 00:10:14,202
- It doesn't matter. It's just that they--
- Oh, honey, I know how they feel.
117
00:10:14,375 --> 00:10:16,969
- Don't worry about it.
- I'm not.
118
00:10:17,144 --> 00:10:21,103
- Then don't look so grim.
- No, it's something else.
119
00:10:21,282 --> 00:10:24,342
- What?
- That guy that showed up today... .
120
00:10:24,518 --> 00:10:26,543
Yes?
121
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,620
You want to ride with me
up to Lake Tahoe?
122
00:10:28,789 --> 00:10:30,814
- Now?
- Yes, now.
123
00:10:30,991 --> 00:10:32,424
I want to tell you something.
124
00:10:32,593 --> 00:10:34,527
All right, Jeff.
125
00:10:34,695 --> 00:10:37,493
You told me once
I'd have to tell you sometime.
126
00:10:37,665 --> 00:10:40,463
Well, this is it.
127
00:10:55,883 --> 00:11:00,582
Now, the first thing I wanna get off my
chest: My name isn't Bailey, it's Markham.
128
00:11:00,754 --> 00:11:05,214
- Markham. Jeff Markham?
- I should have told you before.
129
00:11:05,392 --> 00:11:08,884
I meant to, but I kept putting it off...
130
00:11:09,063 --> 00:11:11,657
...because I didn't like any part of it.
131
00:11:11,832 --> 00:11:14,960
- Please tell me, Jeff.
- Some of it's gonna hurt you.
132
00:11:15,135 --> 00:11:17,400
It doesn't matter.
133
00:11:17,572 --> 00:11:21,030
Well, our friend Markham
lived in New York.
134
00:11:21,209 --> 00:11:25,737
He worked with a sort of stupid,
oily gent by the name of Jack Fisher.
135
00:11:25,914 --> 00:11:29,145
We called ourselves detectives.
136
00:11:29,317 --> 00:11:32,775
That was about three years ago,
maybe more.
137
00:11:32,954 --> 00:11:37,482
Wintertime. One of the coldest days
I remember in the town.
138
00:11:37,659 --> 00:11:39,820
And we got a call to come and see a big op.
139
00:11:39,995 --> 00:11:43,624
- A what?
- An operator, gambler.
140
00:11:43,798 --> 00:11:47,529
He didn't come to see us because he was
too high-powered a character.
141
00:11:47,702 --> 00:11:52,071
Also, because some dame had taken
four shots at him with his own .38.
142
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,538
Made one of them good.
143
00:11:58,646 --> 00:12:02,013
He was taking it in stride,
but he had a friend who was a ball of fire.
144
00:12:02,183 --> 00:12:06,085
Newspaper guys, wise guys,
who do they think they're kidding?
145
00:12:06,254 --> 00:12:08,518
So he shot himself
cleaning a cap pistol.
146
00:12:08,690 --> 00:12:11,921
So I shot the ace of spades
out of a sleeve during a gin game.
147
00:12:12,093 --> 00:12:13,924
A guy can't even get shot by a dame...
148
00:12:14,095 --> 00:12:17,064
...without the whole town
starting to buzz like a--
149
00:12:17,232 --> 00:12:21,191
Like you? Smoke a cigarette, Joe.
150
00:12:22,504 --> 00:12:27,965
You just sit and stay inside yourself.
You wait for me to talk. I like that.
151
00:12:28,143 --> 00:12:31,476
I never found out much
listening to myself.
152
00:12:35,350 --> 00:12:39,116
- It amazes me how she missed so often.
- Maybe you were moving.
153
00:12:39,287 --> 00:12:41,847
A dame with a rod is like a guy
with a knitting needle.
154
00:12:42,257 --> 00:12:45,749
- What's he doing here? I called you.
- My partner.
155
00:12:48,630 --> 00:12:52,794
- Should I ask why you didn't call the law?
- Should you?
156
00:12:52,967 --> 00:12:54,992
I guess not.
157
00:12:55,170 --> 00:12:57,502
- Anything happen to her?
- She ran out on me.
158
00:12:57,672 --> 00:13:00,004
- With 40,000 bucks.
- I want her back.
159
00:13:00,175 --> 00:13:02,336
Or the money?
160
00:13:04,145 --> 00:13:08,582
You know, I once bet $40,000 on a horse
that ran dead last, so I bought the horse.
161
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:10,479
Yeah, that's what I mean.
162
00:13:10,652 --> 00:13:15,146
Oh, you're wrong. I put that horse
in a nice green pasture...
163
00:13:15,323 --> 00:13:17,917
...so he'd never get his foot
caught in a mutuel machine.
164
00:13:18,093 --> 00:13:20,391
You should go out and visit it sometime.
165
00:13:22,197 --> 00:13:27,533
No, I just want her back.
When you see her, you'll understand better.
166
00:13:27,702 --> 00:13:30,000
Maybe she's just an impulsive girl.
167
00:13:31,506 --> 00:13:36,068
- Shall we let it go at that?
- I can let it all go.
168
00:13:37,011 --> 00:13:41,675
An even 5000 now
and 5 when you bring her back.
169
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:43,977
And expenses.
170
00:13:44,152 --> 00:13:46,848
Now, that should have been
the first thing you said.
171
00:13:47,021 --> 00:13:50,548
- Find her, Jeff. Bring her back.
- Why me?
172
00:13:50,725 --> 00:13:56,823
Well, I know a lot of smart guys
and a few honest ones, and you're both.
173
00:14:00,702 --> 00:14:02,795
What happens to her?
174
00:14:02,971 --> 00:14:05,633
I won't touch her.
175
00:14:10,478 --> 00:14:12,878
Okay.
176
00:14:13,047 --> 00:14:16,346
Get me the stuff on her family,
pictures, anything interesting.
177
00:14:16,518 --> 00:14:18,418
- You'll get it.
- I'll see you.
178
00:14:18,586 --> 00:14:21,987
You bring it over, Joe.
Come on, let's go.
179
00:14:23,091 --> 00:14:26,993
Oh, by the way, you mind
telling me her name?
180
00:14:28,596 --> 00:14:32,828
- Kathie Moffat.
- Thanks.
181
00:14:34,903 --> 00:14:40,239
She must be quite a dame.
A wild goose with 40 G's.
182
00:14:40,408 --> 00:14:43,673
You know, for a smart guy, that Sterling
sure trusts you, don't he?
183
00:14:43,845 --> 00:14:45,210
Why not?
184
00:14:45,380 --> 00:14:47,211
- Am I going along?
- No.
185
00:14:47,382 --> 00:14:51,546
Oh, he doesn't like my personality, huh?
Well, I'm still in, Jeff, 50/50.
186
00:14:51,719 --> 00:14:54,745
- Did I say anything different?
- All right. It's a good soft touch.
187
00:14:54,923 --> 00:14:58,586
Don't get hot at me.
And don't get any cute ideas.
188
00:15:17,378 --> 00:15:18,845
These are on me.
189
00:15:19,013 --> 00:15:22,972
This is an old friend of mine, Jeff Markham.
He wants to ask you something.
190
00:15:23,151 --> 00:15:26,712
- Which one of you is Eunice Leonard?
- Me.
191
00:15:26,888 --> 00:15:29,686
May I ask you a few questions?
192
00:15:33,027 --> 00:15:35,689
Come on, honey, let's dance.
193
00:15:38,366 --> 00:15:41,096
You work for Katherine Moffat?
194
00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:44,067
Not anymore, she's gone.
She got pushed around.
195
00:15:44,239 --> 00:15:47,265
I wouldn't have stayed myself,
only she got sick being vaccinated.
196
00:15:47,442 --> 00:15:49,910
- How come you're asking?
- I want to find her.
197
00:15:50,078 --> 00:15:53,912
- You want to find her for that man?
- No, for myself. Where'd she go?
198
00:15:54,082 --> 00:15:57,677
- Maybe I oughtn't to tell nothing.
- More harm might come to her if you didn't.
199
00:15:57,852 --> 00:16:01,447
- Is she in harm now?
- I don't know, she disappeared.
200
00:16:01,623 --> 00:16:05,150
- Maybe you better say, honey.
- Well, I can't say much.
201
00:16:05,326 --> 00:16:07,794
It wasn't no cold place though.
That girl hated snow.
202
00:16:07,962 --> 00:16:11,193
Them clothes she took,
she was looking for sun. Florida.
203
00:16:11,366 --> 00:16:15,427
- You sure about that?
- Now I seem to remember, and I'm sure.
204
00:16:15,603 --> 00:16:18,868
- No trunk?
- She only took suitcases.
205
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,032
- You're sure again?
- I know, I weighed them for her.
206
00:16:22,210 --> 00:16:24,804
- How much did they weigh?
- 131 pounds.
207
00:16:24,979 --> 00:16:26,310
- Exactly?
- Exactly.
208
00:16:26,481 --> 00:16:29,973
- On account of that's what I weigh myself.
- Thanks.
209
00:16:30,151 --> 00:16:32,346
Bring them another round.
210
00:16:34,355 --> 00:16:37,950
You don't get vaccinated for Florida,
but you do for Mexico.
211
00:16:38,126 --> 00:16:42,222
So I just followed that 90 pounds
of excess baggage to Mexico City.
212
00:16:42,397 --> 00:16:44,422
She had been at the Reforma
and then gone.
213
00:16:44,599 --> 00:16:46,863
I took the bus south like she did.
214
00:16:47,035 --> 00:16:50,937
It was hot in Taxco.
You say to yourself, "How hot can it get?"
215
00:16:51,105 --> 00:16:53,539
And then in Acapulco, you find out.
216
00:16:53,708 --> 00:16:54,970
She had to wind up here...
217
00:16:55,143 --> 00:16:58,078
... because if you wanna go south,
here's where you get the boat.
218
00:16:58,246 --> 00:17:00,009
All I had to do was wait.
219
00:17:00,682 --> 00:17:04,812
Near the plaza was a little café
called La Mar Azul next to a movie house.
220
00:17:06,387 --> 00:17:09,413
I sat there in the afternoons and drank beer.
221
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:12,821
I used to sit there half-asleep
with a beer and the darkness...
222
00:17:12,994 --> 00:17:17,090
... only that music from the movie
next door kept jarring me awake.
223
00:17:17,265 --> 00:17:20,962
And then I saw her
coming out of the sun...
224
00:17:21,135 --> 00:17:24,662
... and I knew why Whit didn't
care about that 40 grand.
225
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:27,672
Cuba Libre, please.
226
00:17:47,129 --> 00:17:50,860
Se? Orita, se? Or, may I speak some words?
227
00:17:51,033 --> 00:17:55,299
- You will be seated, se? Or, huh? Yes?
- With pleasure, se? Or.
228
00:17:57,573 --> 00:18:01,009
I am José Rodriguez, a guide,
a most excellent guide.
229
00:18:01,176 --> 00:18:03,269
- Indeed?
- You ask them.
230
00:18:03,445 --> 00:18:07,108
They can tell you that José Rodriguez
knows Acapulco as no one else.
231
00:18:07,282 --> 00:18:09,546
- Each little street--
- I don't want a guide.
232
00:18:09,718 --> 00:18:13,381
- A very difficult girl.
- Is there one not so, se? Or?
233
00:18:13,555 --> 00:18:15,921
- Perhaps a lottery ticket?
- No.
234
00:18:16,091 --> 00:18:20,528
I have here, wrought
by skilled hands, a ring...
235
00:18:20,696 --> 00:18:24,188
...and earrings of jade and pure silver.
236
00:18:24,366 --> 00:18:26,334
These.
237
00:18:32,941 --> 00:18:36,035
- I never wear them.
- Nor I. Please.
238
00:18:36,211 --> 00:18:38,236
No, thank you.
239
00:18:38,414 --> 00:18:41,110
My name is Jeff Markham,
and I haven't talked to anybody...
240
00:18:41,283 --> 00:18:43,751
...who hasn't tried to sell me
something for 10 days.
241
00:18:45,287 --> 00:18:48,984
If I don't talk, I think. It's too late
in life for me to start thinking.
242
00:18:50,325 --> 00:18:53,556
I could go down to the cliff and look
at the sea like a good tourist.
243
00:18:53,729 --> 00:18:57,665
But it's no good if there isn't somebody
you can turn to and say, "Nice view, huh?"
244
00:18:57,900 --> 00:19:01,358
It's the same with the churches,
the relics, the moonlight or a Cuba Libre.
245
00:19:01,537 --> 00:19:04,199
Nothing in the world is any good
unless you can share it.
246
00:19:04,373 --> 00:19:05,897
Maybe you ought to go home.
247
00:19:06,308 --> 00:19:09,869
- Maybe that's why I'm here.
- Is it?
248
00:19:12,347 --> 00:19:14,508
Well, there's always José Rodriguez.
249
00:19:14,850 --> 00:19:18,183
If it gets too lonely, there's a cantina
down the street called Pablo's.
250
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,918
It's nice and quiet. The man there
plays American music for a dollar.
251
00:19:23,091 --> 00:19:27,528
Sip bourbon and shut your eyes.
It's like a little place on 56th Street.
252
00:19:28,397 --> 00:19:29,796
I'll wear my earrings.
253
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,960
I sometimes go there.
254
00:19:46,114 --> 00:19:48,878
I went to send a wire to Whit
that I'd found her...
255
00:19:49,051 --> 00:19:52,248
... but the telegraph office
was closed for the siesta.
256
00:19:52,421 --> 00:19:55,049
I was glad it was,
and I suddenly knew why.
257
00:20:03,532 --> 00:20:05,397
I went to Pablo's that night.
258
00:20:05,567 --> 00:20:07,728
I knew I'd go every night
until she showed up...
259
00:20:07,903 --> 00:20:10,463
... and I knew she knew it.
260
00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:13,701
I sat there and drank bourbon,
and I shut my eyes...
261
00:20:13,876 --> 00:20:16,777
... but I didn't think
of a joint on 56th Street.
262
00:20:16,945 --> 00:20:22,247
I knew where I was and what I was doing.
I just thought what a sucker I was.
263
00:20:22,417 --> 00:20:25,318
I even knew she wouldn't
come the first night...
264
00:20:25,487 --> 00:20:29,924
... but I sat there, grinding it out.
265
00:20:36,532 --> 00:20:40,127
But the next night I knew she'd show.
266
00:20:40,302 --> 00:20:42,862
She waited until it was late...
267
00:20:43,038 --> 00:20:47,839
... and then she walked in
out of the moonlight, smiling.
268
00:21:07,663 --> 00:21:11,497
- Well, this is a coincidence.
- Yes, it is.
269
00:21:12,367 --> 00:21:15,894
- American music.
- You know, I've been here for two nights.
270
00:21:16,071 --> 00:21:19,234
- Thinking?
- No, just waiting.
271
00:21:19,408 --> 00:21:21,239
I haven't been lonely.
272
00:21:21,410 --> 00:21:24,038
- Bourbon?
- As you suggested.
273
00:21:24,212 --> 00:21:26,339
Thank you, sir.
274
00:21:26,815 --> 00:21:28,612
I've been sitting here for three hours.
275
00:21:28,784 --> 00:21:32,550
I thought the guy was gonna
break out with "Melancholy Baby."
276
00:21:33,689 --> 00:21:35,919
You know, you're a curious man.
277
00:21:36,091 --> 00:21:38,889
You're gonna make every guy
you meet a little bit curious.
278
00:21:39,061 --> 00:21:42,462
That's not what I mean.
You don't ask questions.
279
00:21:42,631 --> 00:21:45,498
You don't even ask me what my name is.
280
00:21:45,667 --> 00:21:48,192
All right, what's your name?
281
00:21:48,370 --> 00:21:50,600
Kathie.
282
00:21:50,772 --> 00:21:54,538
- I like it.
- Or where I come from.
283
00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:56,940
I'm thinking about where we're going.
284
00:21:57,112 --> 00:22:00,445
- Don't you like it in here?
- I'm just not ready to settle down.
285
00:22:00,616 --> 00:22:02,083
Shall I take you somewhere else?
286
00:22:02,250 --> 00:22:04,582
You're gonna find it very easy
to take me anywhere.
287
00:22:04,753 --> 00:22:09,417
You know, I'm a much better guide
than José Rodriguez. Wanna try me?
288
00:22:18,266 --> 00:22:19,995
- That isn't the way to play.
- Why not?
289
00:22:20,168 --> 00:22:22,432
- Because it isn't the way to win.
- Is there a way?
290
00:22:22,604 --> 00:22:25,437
There's a way to lose more slowly.
291
00:22:28,210 --> 00:22:30,405
- I prefer it like that.
- Chunk it in.
292
00:22:30,579 --> 00:22:34,538
- Don't you like to gamble?
- Not against a wheel.
293
00:22:35,317 --> 00:22:40,050
- Tell me why you're so hard to please.
- Take me where I can tell you.
294
00:22:40,222 --> 00:22:42,554
All right, come on.
295
00:22:55,303 --> 00:22:57,430
Wait a minute.
296
00:23:31,373 --> 00:23:34,103
When are you taking me back?
297
00:23:35,744 --> 00:23:39,646
- Is that why you kissed me?
- No.
298
00:23:40,348 --> 00:23:43,112
Whit didn't die.
299
00:23:43,285 --> 00:23:44,877
- He didn't?
- No.
300
00:23:45,287 --> 00:23:47,916
- Then why--
- He just wants you back.
301
00:23:49,992 --> 00:23:51,823
I hate him.
302
00:23:51,994 --> 00:23:56,226
- I'm sorry he didn't die.
- Give him time.
303
00:23:58,067 --> 00:24:01,901
- You are taking me back.
- There's no hurry.
304
00:24:02,071 --> 00:24:05,006
I could have run away last night.
305
00:24:05,174 --> 00:24:09,474
- I'd find you.
- Yes, I believe you would.
306
00:24:11,214 --> 00:24:13,808
Are you glad you did?
307
00:24:13,983 --> 00:24:16,451
I don't know.
308
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,447
I am.
309
00:24:20,389 --> 00:24:23,790
- There was a little business about $40,000.
- I didn't take it.
310
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,588
How'd you know it was taken?
311
00:24:26,763 --> 00:24:29,323
It's what you meant.
312
00:24:29,499 --> 00:24:32,935
I don't want anything of his
or any part of him.
313
00:24:33,736 --> 00:24:36,705
- Except his life.
- I didn't know what I was doing.
314
00:24:36,873 --> 00:24:40,240
I didn't know anything,
except how much I hated him.
315
00:24:40,409 --> 00:24:43,742
But I didn't take anything.
316
00:24:43,913 --> 00:24:46,438
I didn't, Jeff.
317
00:24:48,017 --> 00:24:50,281
Won't you believe me?
318
00:24:50,453 --> 00:24:53,286
Baby, I don't care.
319
00:25:00,229 --> 00:25:03,824
I never saw her in the daytime.
We seemed to live by night.
320
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,766
What was left of the day went away
like a pack of cigarettes you smoked.
321
00:25:07,937 --> 00:25:10,531
I didn't know where she lived.
I never followed her.
322
00:25:10,706 --> 00:25:14,369
All I ever had to go on
was a place and time to see her again.
323
00:25:14,544 --> 00:25:18,036
I don't know what we were waiting for.
Maybe we thought the world would end.
324
00:25:18,214 --> 00:25:19,806
Maybe we thought it was a dream...
325
00:25:19,982 --> 00:25:22,382
... and we'd wake up
with a hangover in Niagara Falls.
326
00:25:22,552 --> 00:25:24,850
I wired Whit, but I didn't tell him.
327
00:25:25,021 --> 00:25:27,751
"I'm in Acapulco," I said,
"I wish you were here."
328
00:25:27,924 --> 00:25:31,052
And every night I went to meet her.
329
00:25:31,227 --> 00:25:34,390
How did I know she'd ever
show up? I didn't.
330
00:25:34,564 --> 00:25:38,796
What stopped her from taking
a boat to Chile or Guatemala? Nothing.
331
00:25:38,968 --> 00:25:43,735
How big a chump can you get to be?
I was finding out.
332
00:25:45,107 --> 00:25:48,406
And then she'd come along
like school was out...
333
00:25:48,578 --> 00:25:52,412
... and everything else was just
a stone you sailed at the sea.
334
00:25:52,582 --> 00:25:55,380
- I didn't know you were so little.
- I'm taller than Napoleon.
335
00:25:55,551 --> 00:25:57,712
You're prettier too.
336
00:26:00,223 --> 00:26:02,851
- Did you miss me?
- No more than I would my eyes.
337
00:26:03,025 --> 00:26:07,553
- Where should we go tonight?
- Let's go to my place.
338
00:26:11,734 --> 00:26:15,135
It was the first time she had
mentioned her place or going there.
339
00:26:15,304 --> 00:26:19,968
Maybe she'd decided something, or it
was because the sky looked full of rain.
340
00:26:34,257 --> 00:26:38,751
It was a nice little joint with bamboo
furniture and Mexican gimcracks.
341
00:26:38,928 --> 00:26:41,624
One little lamp burned. It was all right.
342
00:26:41,797 --> 00:26:45,824
And the rain hammering like that
on the window made it good to be in there.
343
00:26:46,002 --> 00:26:47,902
Here.
344
00:26:49,438 --> 00:26:52,305
Hey, hey, not so hard.
345
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,009
- Now yours.
- No, Joe, it's all right.
346
00:26:59,181 --> 00:27:01,411
- Oh, come on.
- No, not so hard, Jeff. My earring.
347
00:27:01,584 --> 00:27:05,145
Hush! I'm trying to dry your hair.
348
00:27:27,777 --> 00:27:30,007
- Are you going with me?
- Where?
349
00:27:30,179 --> 00:27:32,841
- Wherever it takes us.
- Why?
350
00:27:33,015 --> 00:27:38,248
To make a life for ourselves,
to get away from Whit. He knows I'm here.
351
00:27:40,222 --> 00:27:42,816
- When?
- Tomorrow.
352
00:27:42,992 --> 00:27:47,361
Pack in the morning, meet me
at the hotel if you can make it.
353
00:27:47,530 --> 00:27:51,296
- I can make it. Can we get away with it?
- Let's find out.
354
00:27:51,467 --> 00:27:54,868
- You don't know Whit. He won't forget.
- Everybody forgets.
355
00:27:55,037 --> 00:27:56,265
Not Whit.
356
00:27:56,439 --> 00:27:59,670
So we'll send him a postcard
every Christmas.
357
00:28:00,476 --> 00:28:02,535
Jeff, I'm glad you're not afraid of him.
358
00:28:02,712 --> 00:28:05,340
I've been afraid of half the things I ever did.
359
00:28:05,514 --> 00:28:10,451
- And this time?
- I'm only afraid you might not go.
360
00:28:11,554 --> 00:28:13,920
Don't be.
361
00:28:14,090 --> 00:28:16,786
I'll be there tomorrow.
362
00:28:16,959 --> 00:28:19,257
Love me?
363
00:28:20,162 --> 00:28:22,790
- Poco?
- What's that?
364
00:28:22,965 --> 00:28:26,264
- A little.
- Mucho.
365
00:28:49,525 --> 00:28:52,961
- Well, the last guy in the world.
- I hate surprises myself.
366
00:28:53,129 --> 00:28:56,929
- You wanna just shut the door and forget it?
- No, no. Come on in.
367
00:28:58,367 --> 00:29:01,234
I like surprises. When I was a kid,
we were so busted...
368
00:29:01,404 --> 00:29:04,601
...that if we got anything at all
for Christmas it was a big surprise.
369
00:29:04,774 --> 00:29:07,334
- Sit down, have a chair.
- Thanks.
370
00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:10,001
Been here long?
371
00:29:10,613 --> 00:29:13,343
- How long, Joe?
- Hardly at all.
372
00:29:15,418 --> 00:29:18,444
I just wondered who might
be following whom.
373
00:29:18,621 --> 00:29:21,146
What makes you think that?
374
00:29:21,323 --> 00:29:25,020
Look, I know how you trust people. About
as far as you can throw Stephanos here.
375
00:29:25,194 --> 00:29:29,494
And that's all right with me,
only let's not get so cute about it.
376
00:29:29,665 --> 00:29:34,466
I'm on my way to Mexico City,
see a man about a horse.
377
00:29:35,237 --> 00:29:39,901
On the level.
A racehorse from South America.
378
00:29:42,445 --> 00:29:44,936
- Checking out?
- Sure. Why waste your money?
379
00:29:45,114 --> 00:29:49,312
- Did you find her?
- No, only her trail.
380
00:29:49,852 --> 00:29:55,586
Not quite as hot as a prairie fire, but there.
Sometimes a little too obvious.
381
00:29:57,526 --> 00:30:00,087
She's a clever little girl.
382
00:30:00,263 --> 00:30:03,528
- Is she?
- Wouldn't you say so?
383
00:30:03,700 --> 00:30:06,464
You should have told me,
I would have played it differently.
384
00:30:06,636 --> 00:30:09,332
Maybe she wouldn't have
heard my shoes squeaking.
385
00:30:09,506 --> 00:30:14,534
Always a hop, skip and a jump ahead of me.
Mexico City to Taxco to here.
386
00:30:14,711 --> 00:30:19,273
- And here, Jeff, did you see her?
- No. I wish I had.
387
00:30:19,449 --> 00:30:22,282
I don't like playing games
when I'm the fall guy.
388
00:30:22,452 --> 00:30:24,818
You might remember that, Whit.
389
00:30:36,299 --> 00:30:38,164
Thank you.
390
00:30:45,342 --> 00:30:49,802
- Nice shoes. Sporty for you, aren't they?
- Yeah, I got them down here.
391
00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:52,949
As I said before, I thought
maybe the others squeaked.
392
00:30:53,116 --> 00:30:57,382
Let's go down to the bar. You can cool off
while we try to impress each other.
393
00:30:58,755 --> 00:31:00,552
Fine.
394
00:31:05,228 --> 00:31:08,493
Nice place. I'd like to stay here
a while myself.
395
00:31:08,665 --> 00:31:11,156
You did, by proxy.
396
00:31:21,511 --> 00:31:23,979
Something tall and cool,
I don't care what.
397
00:31:24,147 --> 00:31:25,512
- Two.
- Make it three.
398
00:31:25,682 --> 00:31:27,582
Certainly, sir.
399
00:31:27,751 --> 00:31:30,743
- So you blew it.
- Anybody can have bad luck.
400
00:31:30,921 --> 00:31:34,584
- And squeaky shoes.
- Think of a number, Joe.
401
00:31:34,758 --> 00:31:38,956
- Where were you off to?
- The telegraph office to wire you.
402
00:31:39,129 --> 00:31:42,326
I told you, I don't like
to spend your money.
403
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,159
- I can stand it.
- Well, it's your business.
404
00:31:47,804 --> 00:31:51,638
Whit, my friend, there's a million dames
in this world, and they all look like her.
405
00:31:51,808 --> 00:31:54,276
No, they don't.
406
00:31:55,712 --> 00:31:57,441
So she was here.
407
00:31:57,614 --> 00:32:00,811
Well, according to all
available evidence, she was.
408
00:32:00,984 --> 00:32:03,452
Maybe I should've sent Stephanos.
409
00:32:03,620 --> 00:32:07,954
- Could you find one dame in a million, Joe?
- A one with 40 grand.
410
00:32:13,563 --> 00:32:14,962
Sorry.
411
00:32:15,131 --> 00:32:16,359
You picked up some nerves.
412
00:32:16,533 --> 00:32:19,434
I don't need a crack like that
any more than I need your dough.
413
00:32:19,603 --> 00:32:24,631
That's what I've been telling you. I missed
her. The dame caught a boat south.
414
00:32:24,808 --> 00:32:27,936
- Where?
- Look, I got along before this job.
415
00:32:28,111 --> 00:32:32,104
I ate good, and I grew as big as you did.
If there's something you don't like, say so.
416
00:32:32,282 --> 00:32:36,480
- I just asked where.
- Chile. Guatemala.
417
00:32:36,653 --> 00:32:40,487
You wanna go see the guy in the steamship
company? You wanna talk to him right now?
418
00:32:40,657 --> 00:32:42,716
Why not?
419
00:32:53,003 --> 00:32:54,994
- Taxi, sir?
- Yeah.
420
00:32:55,472 --> 00:32:58,839
I'm sorry.
You missed her and you feel bad.
421
00:32:59,009 --> 00:33:00,476
I shouldn't have joked about it.
422
00:33:00,877 --> 00:33:02,344
All right, then I won't either.
423
00:33:02,512 --> 00:33:05,811
You get your 5 grand back
and Stephanos can take over from here.
424
00:33:05,982 --> 00:33:07,574
You're wrong.
425
00:33:07,751 --> 00:33:10,481
I fire people, but nobody quits me.
426
00:33:10,654 --> 00:33:13,088
You started this and you'll end it.
427
00:33:13,657 --> 00:33:16,785
Besides, Joe couldn't find
a prayer in the Bible.
428
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,224
You'll find her. Take it easy.
429
00:33:19,396 --> 00:33:22,627
Take your time.
Well, better get back to the airport.
430
00:33:22,799 --> 00:33:24,164
Good luck, Jeff.
431
00:33:24,334 --> 00:33:25,995
See you someday.
432
00:33:32,942 --> 00:33:35,672
It wasn't all a lie
because she did take a steamer.
433
00:33:35,845 --> 00:33:38,439
It was just that it went north
instead of south.
434
00:33:38,615 --> 00:33:40,708
And I was on it too.
435
00:33:41,418 --> 00:33:44,216
I opened an office in San Francisco.
436
00:33:45,121 --> 00:33:47,988
A cheap little rat hole
that suited the work I did.
437
00:33:48,158 --> 00:33:51,025
Shabby jobs for who'd ever hire me.
438
00:33:51,194 --> 00:33:55,790
It was the bottom of the barrel,
and I scraped it, but I didn't care.
439
00:33:56,399 --> 00:33:58,264
I had her.
440
00:33:59,402 --> 00:34:01,165
We kept pretty much to ourselves.
441
00:34:01,338 --> 00:34:03,772
We found a little movie house
in North Beach.
442
00:34:03,940 --> 00:34:07,432
We were on the run. We went to places
we never would've seen in our lives.
443
00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:10,306
And after a while,
we grew a little more sure of ourselves.
444
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:14,917
We drifted back to more familiar places,
ballparks and the racetracks.
445
00:34:15,085 --> 00:34:20,113
Why not? After all, there wasn't one chance
in a million we'd bump into our past.
446
00:34:22,859 --> 00:34:24,554
One chance in a million.
447
00:34:25,595 --> 00:34:29,531
One chance in a million was all that chump
ever had in his life, and he made it good.
448
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:33,157
He stood there with our lives in his pocket,
because I knew if he saw her...
449
00:34:33,336 --> 00:34:36,134
... he'd sell us both for $ 1.95.
450
00:34:36,473 --> 00:34:38,668
So we had to separate.
451
00:34:40,343 --> 00:34:43,938
I went alone to L.A.,
and I made it easy for him to follow me.
452
00:34:44,114 --> 00:34:47,880
He was a good gumshoe.
It was the one thing he could really do.
453
00:34:48,351 --> 00:34:50,751
So I went everywhere
like a guy enjoying the country.
454
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,582
I didn't write to her or phone or telegraph.
455
00:34:53,757 --> 00:34:55,748
I just waited and moved.
456
00:34:55,959 --> 00:34:59,190
When it seemed right,
I blew out of town to go and meet her.
457
00:34:59,362 --> 00:35:03,526
I wasn't bad at the game myself. I was sure
I had shaken him loose, and I felt good.
458
00:35:10,273 --> 00:35:13,709
Fisher was back there somewhere,
and I could see her again.
459
00:35:14,444 --> 00:35:18,278
We'd arranged to meet at a little cabin
off the highway on Pyramid Creek.
460
00:35:18,448 --> 00:35:20,643
It was dark when I was getting there.
461
00:35:20,817 --> 00:35:23,615
And then I saw her
walking up the road in the headlights.
462
00:35:30,026 --> 00:35:33,655
- You want a lift, babe?
- Well, I really hadn't ought.
463
00:35:35,465 --> 00:35:38,298
You're a cute little package
to be out walking alone at night.
464
00:35:38,468 --> 00:35:41,130
You're kind of cute yourself
to be walking alone any night.
465
00:35:41,304 --> 00:35:42,737
That does it.
466
00:35:47,944 --> 00:35:51,004
It was meeting her somewhere,
like in the first times.
467
00:35:51,247 --> 00:35:53,772
There was still that something
about her that got me.
468
00:35:53,950 --> 00:35:56,145
A kind of magic or whatever it was.
469
00:35:56,653 --> 00:36:00,419
Well, I held her, and we could laugh
because we were together again.
470
00:36:00,723 --> 00:36:03,783
We'd played it smart and forgotten nothing.
471
00:36:04,294 --> 00:36:06,660
Forgotten nothing except one thing.
472
00:36:17,107 --> 00:36:18,699
He had followed her.
473
00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:20,207
Hello, Jeff.
474
00:36:30,187 --> 00:36:31,882
Don't I get introduced?
475
00:36:34,525 --> 00:36:36,652
I don't blame you, Jeff.
476
00:36:37,027 --> 00:36:39,655
Maybe I'd have lied
my head off just like you did.
477
00:36:40,030 --> 00:36:43,022
Your picture don't do you justice, baby.
478
00:36:43,901 --> 00:36:47,234
- Why don't you break his head, Jeff?
- Cute.
479
00:36:47,404 --> 00:36:50,771
Whit should've got her back.
As I understand, they deserve each other.
480
00:36:50,941 --> 00:36:54,399
- You working for him now?
- Who else would he get to find my partner?
481
00:36:54,578 --> 00:36:56,773
All right, Fisher, what's the pitch?
482
00:36:57,214 --> 00:36:59,739
You and I had a little deal, Jeff.
483
00:36:59,917 --> 00:37:03,080
Ten grand and expenses, 50/50.
484
00:37:03,254 --> 00:37:06,587
Remember? You used to have a good
memory. Whatever happened to it?
485
00:37:06,757 --> 00:37:09,021
- I didn't collect.
- Not the 10 grand.
486
00:37:09,193 --> 00:37:13,129
I can give you a tip. You tell Whit where
we are, he might slip you a sawbuck.
487
00:37:13,297 --> 00:37:14,662
Jeff.
488
00:37:14,965 --> 00:37:16,865
He isn't going to tell Whit anything.
489
00:37:17,034 --> 00:37:21,437
Sure not. You just come up with that
40 grand, and we're all pals again.
490
00:37:21,605 --> 00:37:25,268
- I might even cut you in for a piece of it.
- There isn't any 40 grand.
491
00:37:25,442 --> 00:37:27,342
Of course Whit's broad-minded.
492
00:37:27,511 --> 00:37:29,741
He don't care about a few slugs
in the stomach...
493
00:37:29,914 --> 00:37:31,939
...or the 40 grand the dame went off with...
494
00:37:32,383 --> 00:37:34,943
...or even Jeff pretending
he fell down on the job.
495
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:39,682
But you and Jeff ganging up together,
he might not like that.
496
00:37:39,924 --> 00:37:42,017
Tell him, Kathie.
497
00:37:42,726 --> 00:37:44,421
Sure, I shot him.
498
00:37:44,595 --> 00:37:46,290
I'm not sorry about that.
499
00:37:46,864 --> 00:37:48,297
But I didn't take his money.
500
00:37:49,266 --> 00:37:51,757
- Beat it.
- Look at all the angles.
501
00:37:51,936 --> 00:37:54,530
You know Whit and you know
how far he can reach.
502
00:37:54,705 --> 00:37:58,232
So just pay me off
and I'm quiet, but use cash.
503
00:37:58,409 --> 00:38:02,402
Don't try to pay me off with pitch handed
to you by this cheap piece of baggage.
504
00:38:03,647 --> 00:38:05,547
I was hoping you'd do this.
505
00:38:43,754 --> 00:38:46,018
- You didn't have to kill him.
- Yes, I did.
506
00:38:46,757 --> 00:38:50,249
You wouldn't have killed him. You would've
beaten him up and thrown him out.
507
00:38:50,427 --> 00:38:53,294
- You didn't have to do it.
- You wouldn't have killed him.
508
00:38:54,632 --> 00:38:57,499
He'd have been against us,
gone to Whit.
509
00:39:35,706 --> 00:39:37,606
I buried him up there.
510
00:39:37,975 --> 00:39:40,443
I wasn't sorry for him or sore at her.
511
00:39:40,611 --> 00:39:42,203
I wasn't anything.
512
00:39:43,714 --> 00:39:46,478
- Did you ever see her again?
- No.
513
00:39:47,384 --> 00:39:49,249
Did you want to?
514
00:39:50,254 --> 00:39:51,846
No.
515
00:40:01,832 --> 00:40:03,800
Well, I told you it wasn't a nice story.
516
00:40:03,967 --> 00:40:06,367
And I said once that whatever had
happened was done.
517
00:40:06,670 --> 00:40:09,002
Yeah, but you should've known
about it long ago.
518
00:40:09,173 --> 00:40:11,607
It's all right. I understand.
519
00:40:11,775 --> 00:40:13,402
And it's all past.
520
00:40:13,577 --> 00:40:15,044
Maybe it isn't.
521
00:40:15,212 --> 00:40:17,442
- What'll happen?
- I don't know.
522
00:40:17,614 --> 00:40:20,378
It's been a long time.
I don't know how much he knows.
523
00:40:20,551 --> 00:40:21,779
Don't go, Jeff.
524
00:40:21,952 --> 00:40:26,048
I've got to. I'm tired of running.
I gotta clean this up some way.
525
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:28,020
Just one thing, Ann.
526
00:40:28,192 --> 00:40:29,625
Do you want me to come back?
527
00:40:29,793 --> 00:40:31,351
Of course.
528
00:40:37,901 --> 00:40:39,732
Put that in your pocket.
529
00:41:14,037 --> 00:41:15,902
Look who's here.
530
00:41:18,675 --> 00:41:20,905
Hello, Markham.
Glad to see you again.
531
00:41:21,078 --> 00:41:22,978
I always wondered if you missed me.
532
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:25,581
Same guy. Time-proof, weatherproof.
533
00:41:25,749 --> 00:41:27,842
- Cigarette?
- Smoking.
534
00:41:33,290 --> 00:41:35,019
- Thanks. Had breakfast?
- No.
535
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:37,456
Joe, tell the boy we have a guest.
536
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:40,654
Say, I understand you're operating
a little gasoline station.
537
00:41:40,831 --> 00:41:43,425
- You say it like it's hard to understand.
- Well, it is.
538
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,967
It's very simple. I sell gasoline.
I make a small profit.
539
00:41:47,137 --> 00:41:49,867
With that I buy groceries,
the grocer makes a profit.
540
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,476
They call it earning a living.
You may have heard of it somewhere.
541
00:41:53,644 --> 00:41:56,807
I may have, but it wasn't from you.
542
00:41:56,980 --> 00:41:59,574
- I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Whit.
- My feelings?
543
00:41:59,750 --> 00:42:03,151
Ten years ago, I hid them somewhere
and I haven't been able to find them.
544
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:04,878
Where did you look?
545
00:42:05,055 --> 00:42:06,955
In my pocketbook.
546
00:42:08,458 --> 00:42:09,686
Nice, isn't it?
547
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:12,556
Yeah, it must have set you back
a few shells.
548
00:42:13,564 --> 00:42:15,896
Always worrying about my expenses.
549
00:42:16,066 --> 00:42:18,034
It's a nice view.
Am I here to admire it?
550
00:42:18,202 --> 00:42:19,794
Not exactly.
551
00:42:20,404 --> 00:42:22,031
I need your help.
552
00:42:22,206 --> 00:42:23,571
Like old times.
553
00:42:23,740 --> 00:42:25,901
I always liked you.
554
00:42:26,376 --> 00:42:29,869
You liked me because you could use me.
You could use me because I was smart.
555
00:42:30,048 --> 00:42:32,073
I'm not smart anymore.
I run a gas station.
556
00:42:32,250 --> 00:42:33,842
I like the view.
557
00:42:34,018 --> 00:42:35,747
Can you still listen?
558
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:37,410
I can hear.
559
00:42:37,655 --> 00:42:39,452
Well, you told me about your business.
560
00:42:39,624 --> 00:42:43,458
Well, mine is a little more precarious,
and I earn considerably more.
561
00:42:43,628 --> 00:42:44,856
So I've heard.
562
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:46,724
So has the government.
563
00:42:46,898 --> 00:42:49,799
Well, this may sound ridiculous,
but you could pay them.
564
00:42:49,968 --> 00:42:52,869
- That would be against my nature.
- All right, forget I said it.
565
00:42:53,037 --> 00:42:57,474
So I collaborated with a certain man
who understands these things.
566
00:42:57,642 --> 00:42:59,837
He saved me quite a bit of money,
$ 1 million.
567
00:43:00,011 --> 00:43:04,448
I didn't particularly trust him,
so I paid him well, but he's unhappy.
568
00:43:04,616 --> 00:43:07,380
- He wants more money.
- Well, he saved you a lot.
569
00:43:07,552 --> 00:43:11,249
Oh, I appreciate it. I always remember
what any man did for me.
570
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:12,684
Or didn't.
571
00:43:12,857 --> 00:43:16,816
Perhaps. The point is that
now he wants 200,000.
572
00:43:16,995 --> 00:43:20,761
Or he could get 10 percent of the million
from the government, if he turns you in.
573
00:43:20,932 --> 00:43:22,729
You're up on these things.
574
00:43:22,901 --> 00:43:26,564
- Has he got anything to trade?
- Well, he has the income tax records.
575
00:43:26,738 --> 00:43:30,731
But I don't see why I should buy them
when I might persuade you to get them.
576
00:43:30,909 --> 00:43:32,604
- Then I'd have them.
- I know.
577
00:43:32,777 --> 00:43:34,244
But I can trust you.
578
00:43:34,412 --> 00:43:36,778
You know, I don't think
you can trust anybody.
579
00:43:36,948 --> 00:43:39,280
You better go in there
and get them yourself.
580
00:43:39,450 --> 00:43:41,918
- I'd rather you did it.
- I pass.
581
00:43:42,086 --> 00:43:43,314
You don't like it?
582
00:43:43,488 --> 00:43:46,082
No, I just can't get away
from my business.
583
00:43:46,257 --> 00:43:48,521
Well, it's a nice view.
584
00:43:48,693 --> 00:43:50,524
Let's have some breakfast.
585
00:43:57,702 --> 00:43:59,932
You remember Kathie, don't you?
586
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:04,364
Yeah, I remember Kathie.
587
00:44:06,678 --> 00:44:08,111
Sit down.
588
00:44:08,313 --> 00:44:10,975
Kathie's back in the fold now.
589
00:44:11,182 --> 00:44:14,515
- You're back in the fold too, Jeff.
- I see what you mean.
590
00:44:14,686 --> 00:44:16,916
You see, Jeff, you owe me something.
591
00:44:17,088 --> 00:44:19,318
You'll never be happy
until you square yourself.
592
00:44:19,724 --> 00:44:22,386
Did you bare your heart to him, Kathie?
593
00:44:23,094 --> 00:44:24,584
I couldn't help it, Jeff.
594
00:44:26,331 --> 00:44:29,095
- Well, that settles things.
- Does it?
595
00:44:29,267 --> 00:44:30,825
You're working for me.
596
00:44:31,102 --> 00:44:33,696
This man I told you about,
his name is Leonard Eels...
597
00:44:33,871 --> 00:44:35,634
...but you won't go to him directly.
598
00:44:35,807 --> 00:44:38,173
He has a secretary
that he's rather fond of.
599
00:44:38,343 --> 00:44:41,244
Her name is Meta Carson.
You'll find her charming.
600
00:44:41,412 --> 00:44:43,277
She may even find you charming.
601
00:44:43,648 --> 00:44:45,843
I understand that women have.
602
00:44:46,017 --> 00:44:48,144
She'll tell you how it's lined up.
603
00:44:49,354 --> 00:44:52,016
You know San Francisco, don't you?
604
00:44:53,057 --> 00:44:55,287
Yeah, I was there once at a party.
605
00:44:55,460 --> 00:44:57,951
- Then you get around.
- Like the monkey and the weasel.
606
00:44:59,063 --> 00:45:01,224
We'll put you on a train this afternoon.
607
00:45:01,966 --> 00:45:05,959
- Right now, I'd like to get some sleep.
- Find Joe. He'll show you to your room.
608
00:45:06,938 --> 00:45:09,498
And don't start worrying.
609
00:45:09,674 --> 00:45:11,369
Why should I?
610
00:45:33,731 --> 00:45:37,258
Jeff, I had to come back.
What else could I do?
611
00:45:37,935 --> 00:45:40,028
You can never help anything, can you?
612
00:45:40,204 --> 00:45:44,368
You're like a leaf that the wind blows
from one gutter to another.
613
00:45:45,143 --> 00:45:47,907
You can't help anything you do,
even murder.
614
00:45:48,079 --> 00:45:51,207
- You can't say it was that.
- I can say one thing. I buried him.
615
00:45:51,382 --> 00:45:54,545
What did you tell him? About us?
616
00:45:56,854 --> 00:46:00,585
- But you couldn't help it, could you?
- He looked right into me and he knew it.
617
00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:02,623
- How much?
- What, Jeff?
618
00:46:02,794 --> 00:46:05,058
About Fisher.
Did he look into you for that too?
619
00:46:05,229 --> 00:46:07,163
No, I didn't tell that.
620
00:46:08,366 --> 00:46:09,924
- Don't lie to me.
- I didn't.
621
00:46:10,101 --> 00:46:13,002
I wouldn't tell him that.
I wouldn't tell anyone that.
622
00:46:13,171 --> 00:46:15,230
I swear it, Jeff. Believe me.
623
00:46:15,406 --> 00:46:17,397
Sure. Sure, I believe you.
624
00:46:17,575 --> 00:46:19,406
I didn't know what to do.
625
00:46:19,577 --> 00:46:22,239
I was always afraid of him
and afraid of what I'd done.
626
00:46:22,413 --> 00:46:25,348
I couldn't live that way anymore.
I couldn't stand it.
627
00:46:25,516 --> 00:46:27,416
Oh, Jeff, I've missed you.
628
00:46:27,585 --> 00:46:30,952
I've wondered about you
and prayed you'd understand.
629
00:46:31,122 --> 00:46:32,384
Can you understand?
630
00:46:32,557 --> 00:46:34,081
You prayed, Kathie?
631
00:46:34,392 --> 00:46:36,383
Can't you even feel sorry for me?
632
00:46:36,661 --> 00:46:39,027
- I'm not going to try.
- Jeff... .
633
00:46:39,197 --> 00:46:42,257
Look, just get out, will you?
I have to sleep in this room.
634
00:46:45,336 --> 00:46:48,601
Let's just leave it where it all is.
Get out.
635
00:47:35,853 --> 00:47:37,548
- Meta Carson?
- Yes.
636
00:47:37,722 --> 00:47:40,520
- My name is Bailey.
- Come in.
637
00:47:43,594 --> 00:47:46,654
- I was expecting you.
- Well, I wasn't expecting you.
638
00:47:46,831 --> 00:47:50,028
- Should I take that as a compliment?
- Whit told me you'd be charming.
639
00:47:50,201 --> 00:47:52,396
Really? Would you like a gin and tonic?
640
00:47:52,570 --> 00:47:54,970
- That'd be nice.
- You may have whiskey, if you like.
641
00:47:55,139 --> 00:47:57,164
That'd be even nicer.
642
00:48:00,711 --> 00:48:03,407
Miserable weather we're having,
isn't it?
643
00:48:04,348 --> 00:48:08,375
- Are you acquainted with San Francisco?
- We were quite intimate.
644
00:48:08,753 --> 00:48:11,449
- Indeed?
- We lived together.
645
00:48:11,622 --> 00:48:13,317
It's a nice apartment you have here.
646
00:48:13,491 --> 00:48:16,858
Yes, these old houses can be amusing
when they're remodeled, can't they?
647
00:48:17,028 --> 00:48:19,462
I used to live in one
in New York that was old.
648
00:48:19,630 --> 00:48:21,120
It wasn't very amusing.
649
00:48:21,299 --> 00:48:24,791
- I've never been to New York.
- You take a trip there sometime.
650
00:48:24,969 --> 00:48:27,733
You'll see one reason
why I'm in San Francisco.
651
00:48:27,905 --> 00:48:29,532
Whit said you'd tell me the other.
652
00:48:29,707 --> 00:48:33,734
You know, you're rather charming yourself,
but I'm afraid I don't quite understand you.
653
00:48:33,911 --> 00:48:35,902
If you'll drop this Junior League patter...
654
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,480
...we may get the conversation
down where it belongs.
655
00:48:39,083 --> 00:48:42,177
- You worried about something?
- I don't know. Should I be?
656
00:48:42,353 --> 00:48:46,313
- Not if you do what you're told.
- That's why I'm here. I do what I'm told.
657
00:48:46,491 --> 00:48:50,393
People trust me.
Whit even trusts me twice. Do you?
658
00:48:50,562 --> 00:48:52,894
Just as far as I have to.
659
00:48:53,498 --> 00:48:56,695
Can you find your way
to 114 Fulton Street?
660
00:48:56,868 --> 00:48:58,665
- When?
- Tonight.
661
00:48:58,837 --> 00:49:02,102
I'll be there in the apartment
of an attorney named Leonard Eels.
662
00:49:02,274 --> 00:49:04,765
You can call for me at 8
and look around.
663
00:49:04,943 --> 00:49:08,140
I can depend on that.
We'll leave together.
664
00:49:08,313 --> 00:49:10,611
In a day or so,
he'll take some papers home.
665
00:49:10,782 --> 00:49:12,147
I'll let you know.
666
00:49:12,317 --> 00:49:14,478
Then you get them.
He won't be there.
667
00:49:14,653 --> 00:49:15,950
Where will he be?
668
00:49:16,121 --> 00:49:19,488
With me. I'm his secretary.
669
00:49:19,658 --> 00:49:22,855
- Well, it sounds simple enough.
- It is.
670
00:49:23,061 --> 00:49:26,053
- Like two and two make four.
- That's right.
671
00:49:30,369 --> 00:49:33,998
Just remember, I'm coming out of this
in one piece, Miss Carson.
672
00:49:34,439 --> 00:49:37,875
Do you always go around leaving
your fingerprints on a girl's shoulder?
673
00:49:38,043 --> 00:49:42,810
Not that I mind particularly.
You've got nice strong hands.
674
00:49:58,897 --> 00:50:00,558
- Jeff.
- Petey, how are you?
675
00:50:00,732 --> 00:50:02,597
Where you been?
You marry an honest dame?
676
00:50:02,768 --> 00:50:06,260
- I went in the gasoline business.
- But you're looking for me now, ain't you?
677
00:50:06,438 --> 00:50:09,737
I went out of business.
Come on, let's take a ride in your hack.
678
00:50:13,845 --> 00:50:15,938
Buddy, you look like you're in trouble.
679
00:50:16,114 --> 00:50:19,049
- Why?
- Because you don't act like it.
680
00:50:19,551 --> 00:50:21,815
I think I'm in a frame.
681
00:50:22,321 --> 00:50:24,050
Don't sound like you.
682
00:50:24,222 --> 00:50:26,588
I don't know.
All I can see is the frame.
683
00:50:26,758 --> 00:50:28,919
I'm going in there now
to look at the picture.
684
00:50:29,094 --> 00:50:32,621
- I don't have to tell you to wait.
- You don't have to tell me nothing.
685
00:51:02,394 --> 00:51:03,622
My name is Jeff Bailey.
686
00:51:03,795 --> 00:51:06,628
Oh, yes, Miss Carson said
you'd pick her up. I'm Leonard Eels.
687
00:51:06,798 --> 00:51:09,323
- How do you do?
- Bring him out here, Leonard.
688
00:51:15,674 --> 00:51:17,437
Thank you.
689
00:51:17,609 --> 00:51:19,236
Hello, Jeffrey.
690
00:51:19,411 --> 00:51:22,175
I always wanted my favorite cousin
to meet my favorite boss.
691
00:51:22,347 --> 00:51:24,247
- Apple martini?
- Thanks.
692
00:51:24,416 --> 00:51:27,351
Meta talked about you like
you're the ninth wonder of the world.
693
00:51:27,519 --> 00:51:29,612
- She skipped one.
- Meta must be the eighth.
694
00:51:29,788 --> 00:51:33,588
All women are wonders because
they reduce all men to the obvious.
695
00:51:33,759 --> 00:51:35,727
And so do martinis.
696
00:51:36,862 --> 00:51:38,887
So nice here, I hate to go.
697
00:51:39,064 --> 00:51:41,692
Don't then. Why don't you both stay
and have dinner?
698
00:51:42,134 --> 00:51:43,396
Yes, why don't we?
699
00:51:43,568 --> 00:51:46,469
We can't, Jeffrey.
We promised the Bigelows, remember?
700
00:51:46,638 --> 00:51:48,765
Oh, call them up.
We can see them anytime.
701
00:51:48,940 --> 00:51:50,931
We can't, Jeffrey. I'm sorry, Leonard.
702
00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:53,907
Some other time.
How long will you be in town, Mr. Bailey?
703
00:51:54,546 --> 00:51:57,310
- I don't really know.
- You're on business?
704
00:51:57,482 --> 00:52:00,451
- You might call it that.
- Where are you from? The South?
705
00:52:01,253 --> 00:52:05,246
- No. Tahoe.
- We must go, Jeff.
706
00:52:05,424 --> 00:52:07,119
All right.
707
00:52:10,262 --> 00:52:13,163
Your cousin is a very charming young lady.
708
00:52:13,331 --> 00:52:17,324
No, he isn't. His name is Norman
and he's a bookmaker in Cleveland, Ohio.
709
00:52:19,938 --> 00:52:22,406
- Where did you say you were from?
- Tahoe...
710
00:52:22,574 --> 00:52:25,600
...where we worry as much
about the income tax as anybody.
711
00:52:27,279 --> 00:52:28,906
Frankly, you don't make sense.
712
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,275
Neither does my being her cousin...
713
00:52:31,450 --> 00:52:33,714
...or my being brought up here...
714
00:52:33,885 --> 00:52:35,819
...to leave my fingerprints around.
715
00:52:35,987 --> 00:52:37,921
On the other hand, maybe it does.
716
00:52:38,089 --> 00:52:41,058
You know, it could be that I'm the patsy,
and you're on the spot.
717
00:52:41,226 --> 00:52:43,694
- Coming, Jeff?
- Right away.
718
00:52:43,862 --> 00:52:46,763
Keep the martinis dry, I'll be back.
719
00:52:52,037 --> 00:52:54,335
I'm glad you could come, both of you.
720
00:52:54,506 --> 00:52:56,770
- Mr. Eels, you make a great martini.
- Thank you.
721
00:52:56,942 --> 00:52:58,170
- Good night.
- Good night.
722
00:52:58,343 --> 00:53:00,709
- Good night, Leonard.
- Good night.
723
00:53:07,519 --> 00:53:10,352
For a man who appears to be clever,
you can act like an idiot.
724
00:53:10,522 --> 00:53:13,616
That's one way to be clever:
Look like an idiot.
725
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,986
He looked like an underweight ghost.
What did you say to him?
726
00:53:18,163 --> 00:53:19,994
I told him he made a great martini.
727
00:53:20,165 --> 00:53:22,224
- You are an idiot.
- So is he.
728
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,858
- You think so?
- Why not? He's in love with you.
729
00:53:30,842 --> 00:53:33,106
Mason Building.
730
00:53:38,216 --> 00:53:41,242
Doesn't your conscience bother you,
crossing a nice guy like that?
731
00:53:41,419 --> 00:53:43,216
Maybe he isn't such a nice guy.
732
00:53:43,388 --> 00:53:45,253
Maybe he crosses people too.
733
00:53:52,364 --> 00:53:55,094
- Do I go alone?
- No, you go back to your hotel and wait.
734
00:53:55,267 --> 00:53:57,201
Yes, ma'am.
735
00:54:01,039 --> 00:54:05,032
- Nice.
- Awfully cold around the heart. Let's go.
736
00:54:05,210 --> 00:54:06,677
Hold it.
737
00:54:06,845 --> 00:54:09,541
Drive around the block
and stop right here.
738
00:54:57,229 --> 00:55:00,892
Follow her, Petey, then wait for me
at Eels' apartment house.
739
00:57:46,031 --> 00:57:48,295
- I lost her.
- She's worth losing.
740
00:57:48,467 --> 00:57:52,460
I jumped a signal and I got stopped
by a gabby cop.
741
00:57:52,638 --> 00:57:55,129
Here. You finish it.
742
00:57:56,041 --> 00:57:57,975
- Shall I pick up her hack?
- No.
743
00:57:58,144 --> 00:58:00,977
- Where to?
- Telegraph Hill.
744
00:58:01,147 --> 00:58:02,705
Did you have some bad luck?
745
00:58:02,882 --> 00:58:05,976
Yeah. My timing was a few minutes off.
746
00:59:36,842 --> 00:59:38,173
- Hello?
- Mr. Tillotson.
747
00:59:38,344 --> 00:59:40,710
- Yes.
- This is Mr. Eels' secretary.
748
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,541
I'm worried about Mr. Eels.
749
00:59:42,715 --> 00:59:45,047
I know he's home,
but he doesn't answer his phone.
750
00:59:45,217 --> 00:59:47,685
- Would you see if he's all right?
- Maybe he went out.
751
00:59:47,853 --> 00:59:49,582
No, he was to wait for my call.
752
00:59:49,755 --> 00:59:54,055
I don't want to be a nuisance,
but I'm sure he's there and I'm worried.
753
00:59:54,226 --> 00:59:56,490
- Would you call me right back?
- Yes.
754
00:59:56,662 --> 00:59:58,892
Fillmore 0710.
755
00:59:59,064 --> 01:00:02,261
- Yes, Miss Carson. Right away.
- Thank you.
756
01:00:36,168 --> 01:00:38,227
- Yes?
- He isn't there.
757
01:00:38,404 --> 01:00:39,996
He isn't?
758
01:00:40,406 --> 01:00:42,169
- Did you go in the apartment?
- Yes.
759
01:00:42,341 --> 01:00:44,571
But he must be there.
760
01:00:45,044 --> 01:00:46,705
Thank you.
761
01:00:58,524 --> 01:01:00,685
- Hello?
- Joe Stephanos, please.
762
01:01:00,859 --> 01:01:02,087
He isn't here.
763
01:01:02,261 --> 01:01:05,719
Then leave word for him to call
Miss Carson's apartment right away.
764
01:01:11,036 --> 01:01:12,470
Was there a slip-up, baby?
765
01:01:16,409 --> 01:01:19,003
Did you send your friend up there
to find Eels dead?
766
01:01:19,179 --> 01:01:21,875
- No, Jeff.
- Tell me.
767
01:01:22,849 --> 01:01:24,077
- Tell me.
- Don't, Jeff.
768
01:01:24,250 --> 01:01:26,013
- Don't what?
- I don't want to die.
769
01:01:26,186 --> 01:01:29,178
Neither do I, baby.
But if I have to, I'm gonna die last.
770
01:01:29,356 --> 01:01:30,823
Something slipped up, didn't it?
771
01:01:30,991 --> 01:01:34,119
They told you they'd knock him off,
and haven't done it, have they?
772
01:01:34,294 --> 01:01:37,195
They haven't because I tipped him off.
He blew.
773
01:01:37,364 --> 01:01:39,355
- He's all right?
- Didn't you want him to be?
774
01:01:39,532 --> 01:01:42,933
Yes. Yes, because if he dies,
they'll say you did it.
775
01:01:43,269 --> 01:01:45,863
Oh, you're wonderful, Kathie.
You're magnificent.
776
01:01:46,039 --> 01:01:50,135
- You can change sides so smoothly.
- Don't, Jeff. You're hurting me.
777
01:01:51,344 --> 01:01:53,073
I'm almost getting it.
778
01:01:53,246 --> 01:01:54,907
Very pretty.
779
01:01:55,081 --> 01:01:58,209
Whit wants Eels out of the picture
and to square an account with me.
780
01:01:58,385 --> 01:02:01,013
Two birds together.
So I come to town with an address.
781
01:02:01,187 --> 01:02:03,849
A redhead takes me up to visit
the chump who has to go.
782
01:02:04,024 --> 01:02:06,254
I have a drink, leave my prints around.
783
01:02:06,426 --> 01:02:08,223
I leave and somebody gets him.
784
01:02:08,395 --> 01:02:10,659
Eels dies and the tax papers...
785
01:02:10,830 --> 01:02:13,526
...they were in the briefcase
that Meta took, weren't they?
786
01:02:13,700 --> 01:02:16,396
The papers go back to Whit.
I'm the fall guy.
787
01:02:16,569 --> 01:02:18,093
There's only one thing missing:
788
01:02:18,271 --> 01:02:19,670
The plant.
789
01:02:19,839 --> 01:02:23,775
What was there to give me a motive?
I wouldn't kill a guy for a martini.
790
01:02:23,943 --> 01:02:25,706
- Tell me, Kathie.
- They made me sign it.
791
01:02:25,879 --> 01:02:27,471
- Sign what?
- An affidavit.
792
01:02:27,647 --> 01:02:29,376
- Go on.
- I couldn't help it, Jeff.
793
01:02:29,549 --> 01:02:32,245
They made me sign it.
I swear I couldn't help it.
794
01:02:32,419 --> 01:02:35,354
They said they'd find the body
and tell the police I killed him.
795
01:02:35,522 --> 01:02:38,218
Fisher. Then you did tell them about Fisher.
796
01:02:38,391 --> 01:02:40,291
Only you told them I did it.
797
01:02:40,460 --> 01:02:41,950
Perfect.
798
01:02:42,529 --> 01:02:44,326
Foolproof and beautiful.
799
01:02:44,497 --> 01:02:46,158
That Whit can really hate, can't he?
800
01:02:46,332 --> 01:02:48,391
You said it once, he can remember.
801
01:02:48,568 --> 01:02:50,695
I never stopped hating him, Jeff.
802
01:02:50,870 --> 01:02:53,202
I couldn't help myself. I was caught too.
803
01:02:53,373 --> 01:02:55,432
We don't have to be against
each other now.
804
01:02:55,608 --> 01:02:57,735
- Aren't we?
- No. We can break out of it.
805
01:02:57,911 --> 01:02:59,469
All we need is the briefcase.
806
01:02:59,646 --> 01:03:03,138
Then we've got them, Jeff.
We can get anything we want from them.
807
01:03:03,316 --> 01:03:05,045
I'd like that affidavit you signed.
808
01:03:05,218 --> 01:03:07,778
We can get it. It's in Eels' office safe.
809
01:03:07,954 --> 01:03:11,390
We can make Meta get it.
We can make them do anything.
810
01:03:11,558 --> 01:03:13,082
Sure.
811
01:03:13,259 --> 01:03:14,556
Oh, Jeff... .
812
01:03:14,727 --> 01:03:16,957
You ought to have killed me
for what I did.
813
01:03:17,130 --> 01:03:20,122
- There's time.
- No. You won't.
814
01:03:20,300 --> 01:03:22,234
I've never stopped loving you.
815
01:03:22,402 --> 01:03:25,428
I was afraid and no good,
but I never stopped...
816
01:03:25,605 --> 01:03:27,573
...even if you hated me.
817
01:03:27,740 --> 01:03:28,968
Did you?
818
01:03:29,142 --> 01:03:32,543
- Yes.
- But you don't now.
819
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:35,907
No.
820
01:03:36,649 --> 01:03:38,344
We can be together again.
821
01:03:38,518 --> 01:03:41,817
In a way we never were.
We can go back to Acapulco...
822
01:03:41,988 --> 01:03:44,855
...and start all over
as though nothing had happened.
823
01:03:45,024 --> 01:03:46,753
Yes.
824
01:03:52,599 --> 01:03:54,931
How do we get the briefcase?
825
01:03:55,101 --> 01:03:56,591
Whit owns a club.
826
01:03:56,769 --> 01:03:58,669
The Sterling Club on North Beach.
827
01:03:58,838 --> 01:04:01,966
Meta took it there
to a man named Baylord.
828
01:04:02,142 --> 01:04:03,837
I might get by with it.
829
01:04:04,010 --> 01:04:05,978
You will, darling.
830
01:04:07,113 --> 01:04:08,341
Hurry.
831
01:04:30,003 --> 01:04:31,368
What happened to you?
832
01:04:31,538 --> 01:04:34,098
I went to a bar and bought a double.
I must be slipping.
833
01:04:34,274 --> 01:04:36,105
I guess you must be.
834
01:04:36,276 --> 01:04:40,940
He just stood there shaking so hard
he couldn't even pray.
835
01:04:41,114 --> 01:04:44,311
I never saw anyone so afraid to die.
836
01:04:44,484 --> 01:04:46,748
- I didn't like it.
- You killed him?
837
01:04:48,087 --> 01:04:49,782
Certainly.
838
01:04:50,456 --> 01:04:54,187
But I called. A man went up and looked
in the apartment and he wasn't there.
839
01:04:54,694 --> 01:04:58,095
- Eels?
- Yes, Eels. He wasn't there.
840
01:04:58,264 --> 01:05:01,062
I was there. And the way I left him,
he didn't walk away.
841
01:05:02,635 --> 01:05:05,069
- What's going on?
- I don't know.
842
01:05:06,372 --> 01:05:08,670
I do. Where's Bailey?
843
01:05:53,253 --> 01:05:55,050
What do you want?
844
01:05:59,192 --> 01:06:01,092
- Yeah?
- Mr. Baylord, a man just went up...
845
01:06:01,261 --> 01:06:03,855
- ... heading toward your office.
- Forget it.
846
01:06:37,764 --> 01:06:41,256
- You wanted to see somebody?
- I just saw him. Thanks.
847
01:07:08,328 --> 01:07:10,728
- You know that hack driver?
- Yeah, I think so.
848
01:07:10,897 --> 01:07:12,831
- Rafferty.
- Yeah?
849
01:07:12,999 --> 01:07:15,991
Get Joe. Bring back that guy
any way you have to.
850
01:07:16,169 --> 01:07:19,229
- Just so that briefcase comes with him.
- Right.
851
01:07:21,607 --> 01:07:25,304
- All arranged, sir.
- Twenty for you, the rest for transportation.
852
01:07:25,478 --> 01:07:28,175
Have the boy meet me
at the airport with the ticket.
853
01:07:28,349 --> 01:07:31,750
- Thank you, sir.
- You know, a bad memory is like an ill wind.
854
01:07:31,919 --> 01:07:36,322
- It can blow somebody luck.
- I always say everybody's right.
855
01:07:44,498 --> 01:07:46,489
After you.
856
01:07:48,902 --> 01:07:50,927
- You won't need this.
- I couldn't do nothing.
857
01:07:51,105 --> 01:07:52,732
You can now. Start moving.
858
01:07:52,906 --> 01:07:57,172
- I sure get into a lot of trouble, don't I?
- You shouldn't steal so much.
859
01:08:08,255 --> 01:08:10,416
Well, we meet in all kinds of places.
860
01:08:16,830 --> 01:08:19,458
That evens this. Fold your hands,
or I'll do it for you.
861
01:08:19,633 --> 01:08:21,794
You talk big, mister.
862
01:08:32,646 --> 01:08:34,170
- All right, wise guy.
- I wouldn't.
863
01:08:34,348 --> 01:08:36,475
I told you. I'm tired
of getting pushed around.
864
01:08:36,650 --> 01:08:39,619
You'll only get yourself out of breath.
Won't he, Joe?
865
01:08:39,787 --> 01:08:41,220
Cut it, Lou.
866
01:08:41,388 --> 01:08:44,516
Your move now is to do a little thinking.
A little talking.
867
01:08:44,691 --> 01:08:47,819
See, I've got the files
that were in your briefcase.
868
01:08:47,995 --> 01:08:50,429
I also know the address
of the Treasury Department.
869
01:08:50,597 --> 01:08:53,930
That's the theory, isn't it?
Keep the files away from the treasury boys.
870
01:08:54,101 --> 01:08:56,365
Save Whit from doing 10 years
in a federal pen.
871
01:08:56,537 --> 01:09:00,132
- Now, you correct me if I make a mistake.
- We may do that.
872
01:09:00,307 --> 01:09:03,902
Sure. Of course, the government
may just pat Whit on the back and say:
873
01:09:04,077 --> 01:09:07,911
"Go on home. We got all the dough we
need. We'll never miss your million dollars."
874
01:09:08,081 --> 01:09:10,379
You wanna lay a price on that?
875
01:09:10,551 --> 01:09:12,348
How did you know I had the briefcase?
876
01:09:14,054 --> 01:09:16,147
I had Meta tailed.
877
01:09:16,323 --> 01:09:19,087
You sure about that?
878
01:09:19,259 --> 01:09:22,695
Look, I don't have to be sure
about anything except the files.
879
01:09:22,863 --> 01:09:26,128
Now, do you wanna talk business,
or do you wanna play house?
880
01:09:26,567 --> 01:09:29,001
What's your idea?
881
01:09:29,169 --> 01:09:32,138
You get the files,
and you also get Eels' body...
882
01:09:32,306 --> 01:09:34,536
...in case you wanna
keep it from the cops.
883
01:09:34,775 --> 01:09:36,640
What do you want?
884
01:09:37,344 --> 01:09:41,303
I want the affidavit that Meta put
in Eels' safe when she took the files out.
885
01:09:41,849 --> 01:09:46,218
A lie that somebody put on paper
that I killed a guy named Jack Fisher.
886
01:09:46,820 --> 01:09:48,481
Because, you see, I only buried him.
887
01:09:48,956 --> 01:09:51,390
And you don't get the gas
for being the undertaker.
888
01:09:51,825 --> 01:09:54,817
Four of us knew about that affidavit
outside of Whit.
889
01:09:54,995 --> 01:09:56,792
Somebody talked.
890
01:10:03,070 --> 01:10:05,868
- Did Meta tell you?
- No.
891
01:10:06,507 --> 01:10:08,372
Sorry.
892
01:10:10,244 --> 01:10:12,610
- Put in a call for Whit Sterling--
- No, sit down.
893
01:10:12,779 --> 01:10:15,805
- We better keep Whit out of this.
- He's right, Kathie.
894
01:10:15,983 --> 01:10:19,646
Oh, you've hurt her feelings, Lou.
I can tell you, she's a sensitive girl.
895
01:10:19,820 --> 01:10:22,755
- I'm kind of sensitive myself.
- And you won't need Whit.
896
01:10:22,923 --> 01:10:26,188
All you'll need is Meta
to unlock that safe in Eels' office.
897
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,090
- I hope Meta's still around.
- She's around.
898
01:10:29,263 --> 01:10:31,731
Good. Then you can start right now.
899
01:10:31,899 --> 01:10:35,835
I'll call you in about an hour. That'll
give you time to find her and get there.
900
01:10:36,003 --> 01:10:39,268
Give you a little extra time to figure out
how you're gonna cross me.
901
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,202
But you won't.
902
01:11:33,193 --> 01:11:35,024
Will you bust this for me, Jackson?
903
01:11:35,195 --> 01:11:36,787
Sure.
904
01:11:39,333 --> 01:11:42,598
That's right. Whit Sterling
at the Blue Sky Club in Reno.
905
01:11:42,769 --> 01:11:46,535
- Shut the door.
- Don't forget, those dames listen in.
906
01:11:51,979 --> 01:11:53,207
- Hello?
- Mr. Sterling?
907
01:11:53,380 --> 01:11:54,608
- Speaking.
- One moment.
908
01:11:54,781 --> 01:11:57,409
- Thank you.
- Go ahead.
909
01:11:57,584 --> 01:12:00,485
- Whit, darling, this is Kathie.
- Everything all right?
910
01:12:00,654 --> 01:12:02,554
- No.
- Seldom is.
911
01:12:02,723 --> 01:12:05,157
I think you'd better stay
where you are for a while.
912
01:12:05,325 --> 01:12:08,192
- Well, could you tell me why?
- I can't talk now.
913
01:12:08,362 --> 01:12:10,023
Things are mixed up.
914
01:12:10,197 --> 01:12:11,721
Bailey mix them?
915
01:12:11,898 --> 01:12:14,423
I can't talk on the phone.
We're trying to get a plane.
916
01:12:14,601 --> 01:12:16,694
But you're bringing me something?
917
01:12:16,870 --> 01:12:21,136
No, Whit. I can't explain now, darling.
I just wanted to tell you.
918
01:12:21,308 --> 01:12:23,868
I don't want anything
to happen to you.
919
01:12:24,044 --> 01:12:26,512
- Like what, honey?
- Don't go to Tahoe.
920
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:30,138
Be careful and wait in Reno for me.
Goodbye.
921
01:12:37,991 --> 01:12:41,483
- You look like I might be in trouble.
- You will be if we don't find Bailey.
922
01:12:41,662 --> 01:12:44,130
I might be if I do.
923
01:13:12,259 --> 01:13:16,355
"Bridgeport service station operator
sought in San Francisco slaying.
924
01:13:16,530 --> 01:13:19,328
Five-year-old murder motive,
the police say.
925
01:13:19,499 --> 01:13:22,798
Leonard Eels, attorney, was found
murdered in his apartment house...
926
01:13:22,969 --> 01:13:26,564
...114 Fulton Street,
early this morning." Well.
927
01:13:26,740 --> 01:13:30,073
"Jeff Bailey, at one time
private detective and more recently...
928
01:13:30,243 --> 01:13:33,235
...operator of a small gas station
in Bridgeport...
929
01:13:33,413 --> 01:13:37,247
...is hunted for two murders."
- I knew he was no good.
930
01:13:37,417 --> 01:13:41,081
I said all along, "There's a man
who should be run out of town."
931
01:13:41,255 --> 01:13:45,282
Look at that. Police are hunting him
for two murders.
932
01:13:45,460 --> 01:13:48,395
- I told you, Ann.
- Ann.
933
01:13:48,563 --> 01:13:51,031
Oh, leave me alone.
934
01:13:59,574 --> 01:14:03,032
Cooper reporting. Road is now blocked
20 miles south of Bridgeport.
935
01:14:03,211 --> 01:14:05,509
Checking all cars. That is all.
936
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,649
- Hi, Jim.
- Hello, Ed. You talked to the kid yet?
937
01:14:08,816 --> 01:14:11,046
He's gone. The station's locked up tight.
938
01:14:11,219 --> 01:14:14,518
- Gone where?
- Maybe with Bailey.
939
01:14:14,689 --> 01:14:17,681
Well, that doesn't make sense.
If you had the law on your tail...
940
01:14:17,859 --> 01:14:20,760
...would you let a guy working for you
come up to chew the fat?
941
01:14:20,928 --> 01:14:24,227
I'd want a partner, if I could get him.
942
01:14:25,833 --> 01:14:27,494
- Ed?
- Yeah?
943
01:14:27,668 --> 01:14:29,101
Our attention.
944
01:14:29,270 --> 01:14:32,933
Says, "Bailey took a plane to L.A.
Last night. No trace since."
945
01:14:33,107 --> 01:14:35,007
Says, "May be headed this way."
946
01:14:35,176 --> 01:14:36,700
Okay.
947
01:14:37,078 --> 01:14:41,037
Would you consider it too dumb
for him to try to hole up here?
948
01:14:41,349 --> 01:14:43,943
He'll come here.
And when he does, I'll know it.
949
01:14:44,118 --> 01:14:45,983
See you.
950
01:14:50,491 --> 01:14:54,894
- What's he mean, he'll know it?
- What do you suppose? Ann Miller.
951
01:14:55,062 --> 01:14:58,088
Me? I'll take the kid.
952
01:15:10,178 --> 01:15:11,702
You all right, Ann?
953
01:15:12,213 --> 01:15:15,478
I know what you're going to say,
and I don't wanna hear it.
954
01:15:15,850 --> 01:15:18,375
Jeff didn't kill anybody.
955
01:15:18,553 --> 01:15:20,077
He told me everything.
956
01:15:20,655 --> 01:15:22,816
Has he got you mixed up in this?
957
01:15:23,124 --> 01:15:26,389
- Has he?
- Whatever he's mixed up in, I am too.
958
01:15:26,561 --> 01:15:28,995
Well, I'm not going to stand by
and see him hurt you.
959
01:15:29,163 --> 01:15:31,631
- Lf he comes back here--
- What'll you do?
960
01:15:31,799 --> 01:15:34,427
- You won't go to the police.
- I don't know what I'll do.
961
01:15:34,602 --> 01:15:35,933
No, Jimmy.
962
01:15:36,103 --> 01:15:38,936
Do you expect me to help him get away?
963
01:15:40,041 --> 01:15:41,269
Jim.
964
01:15:48,850 --> 01:15:51,182
He can read your lips.
965
01:15:53,387 --> 01:15:55,719
Mr. Sterling is fishing.
966
01:15:55,890 --> 01:15:58,381
No. In the high mountains.
967
01:15:58,559 --> 01:16:00,789
Tell Jeff we're sending for him.
968
01:16:00,962 --> 01:16:03,192
Where can we reach you?
969
01:16:11,539 --> 01:16:14,975
Joe will find you at the station
when we have word.
970
01:16:25,820 --> 01:16:28,118
I'm not so sure this is a bright idea.
971
01:16:28,289 --> 01:16:31,315
You think of a brighter one
on the way, come back with it.
972
01:18:20,735 --> 01:18:23,135
He follow you from Tahoe?
973
01:18:23,304 --> 01:18:25,397
Who'd you see? Sterling?
974
01:18:25,573 --> 01:18:27,404
Kathie?
975
01:18:31,445 --> 01:18:33,777
Cute kids, aren't they?
976
01:19:03,444 --> 01:19:05,810
What are you scared about?
977
01:19:06,280 --> 01:19:10,740
Joe isn't coming back.
He got careless and fell in the river.
978
01:19:11,886 --> 01:19:15,014
Didn't you hear what I said?
Joe's dead, Kathie.
979
01:19:15,189 --> 01:19:17,919
Can't you find some tears for him?
980
01:19:18,793 --> 01:19:21,990
- Come on.
- What are you gonna do?
981
01:19:22,163 --> 01:19:24,222
Talk to Whit.
Don't you think I should?
982
01:19:24,398 --> 01:19:27,925
Yes, of course you should.
He wants to see you. He's waiting for you.
983
01:19:28,102 --> 01:19:30,900
With his fishing rod?
You told the kid he was fishing.
984
01:19:31,072 --> 01:19:33,632
He came back late this afternoon.
985
01:19:33,808 --> 01:19:36,276
I'll bet he's pacing up and down,
worrying about Joe.
986
01:19:36,444 --> 01:19:41,108
- You think I sent Joe?
- Oh, you're wonderful, Kathie.
987
01:19:41,282 --> 01:19:45,218
- All right. Where is the gentleman?
- Downstairs. In the library, I think.
988
01:19:45,386 --> 01:19:48,082
Jeff, don't let him trick you.
989
01:19:48,255 --> 01:19:50,723
He'll pay anything you ask.
He'll do anything you ask.
990
01:19:50,891 --> 01:19:53,621
Sure he will. Anything.
991
01:19:58,133 --> 01:20:01,125
If only there was some way about Fisher.
992
01:20:01,303 --> 01:20:03,134
There is.
993
01:20:15,484 --> 01:20:18,419
Well, you getting things in shape
for the treasury boys?
994
01:20:18,587 --> 01:20:22,216
Hello, Jeff. I've been sort of
expecting you.
995
01:20:22,824 --> 01:20:26,191
Well, let's get down to business.
Start all over again, right?
996
01:20:26,361 --> 01:20:29,956
- You have some papers of mine.
- All right, you take the frame off me.
997
01:20:30,132 --> 01:20:32,362
You pin the Eels murder on Joe.
998
01:20:34,002 --> 01:20:36,402
Sure. Sure.
999
01:20:36,771 --> 01:20:39,535
I get a modest settlement. Say... .
1000
01:20:39,708 --> 01:20:41,471
Oh, say 50,000.
1001
01:20:41,710 --> 01:20:45,168
That should be enough for me
to spend my waning years in Mazatlán.
1002
01:20:45,747 --> 01:20:48,716
Not Acapulco because I'd keep
thinking about you, Kathie.
1003
01:20:48,884 --> 01:20:51,751
Up there in the women's prison
in Tehachapi.
1004
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:55,014
It won't be too bad.
Hills all around you, plenty of sun.
1005
01:20:56,591 --> 01:20:58,525
You make me nervous.
1006
01:20:58,693 --> 01:21:02,891
You'll be happier if you let the cops
have her. That's what you'll have to do.
1007
01:21:03,064 --> 01:21:07,023
Somebody's gotta take the rap
for Fisher's murder. It's not gonna be me.
1008
01:21:07,202 --> 01:21:09,033
Wait a minute.
1009
01:21:09,204 --> 01:21:12,435
- I'm not framing any woman.
- When did you reform?
1010
01:21:12,841 --> 01:21:15,469
I wouldn't try it, Whit.
You're out of shape.
1011
01:21:15,844 --> 01:21:19,245
- Besides, it's not a frame. She shot him.
- He was gonna kill you.
1012
01:21:19,414 --> 01:21:23,316
See, Whit? Self-defense. A cinch to beat.
She might not even have to do time.
1013
01:21:23,485 --> 01:21:27,353
- I'll say you killed him. They'll believe me.
- Do you believe her?
1014
01:21:29,624 --> 01:21:31,592
Go on, Kathie, tell him about Joe.
1015
01:21:31,927 --> 01:21:33,895
What about Joe? Where is he?
1016
01:21:34,062 --> 01:21:36,792
Last time I saw him,
he was in the East Walker River.
1017
01:21:36,965 --> 01:21:40,423
I didn't send him after Jeff.
It was his own idea.
1018
01:21:43,004 --> 01:21:45,802
- Did you kill him?
- He slipped and fell.
1019
01:21:45,974 --> 01:21:49,569
When I got there, it was too late.
That's a mean river.
1020
01:21:49,744 --> 01:21:50,972
He was trailing you?
1021
01:21:51,146 --> 01:21:53,580
Well, you don't go fishing
with a .45 in your hand.
1022
01:21:53,748 --> 01:21:56,342
But stop worrying about it.
It makes everything simple.
1023
01:21:56,518 --> 01:22:00,215
A dead man? Fish him out.
Stick a note in his pocket. Suicide.
1024
01:22:00,388 --> 01:22:03,448
He couldn't stand living
with what he had done.
1025
01:22:03,625 --> 01:22:06,890
Don't look so stricken, Whit.
You'll get over it. I did.
1026
01:22:07,162 --> 01:22:10,495
But you talk it out if you want to.
I'll be waiting in there.
1027
01:22:10,799 --> 01:22:12,528
Oh, one thing, Kathie:
1028
01:22:12,701 --> 01:22:15,829
Did it take much persuasion
to make you say I killed Fisher?
1029
01:22:16,004 --> 01:22:20,065
Come on. Feed my ego.
Tell me he beat you.
1030
01:22:20,242 --> 01:22:23,302
Tell me he had to drag
every word out of you.
1031
01:22:23,878 --> 01:22:27,644
- Well, that's the way it is.
- You said you were going.
1032
01:22:27,816 --> 01:22:29,613
Get out.
1033
01:22:46,268 --> 01:22:49,032
You dirty little phony.
Go on, lie some more.
1034
01:22:49,204 --> 01:22:51,729
Tell me how you handled things
for me in San Francisco.
1035
01:22:51,906 --> 01:22:53,931
Tell me it was all Joe's idea.
Go on, Kathie.
1036
01:22:54,109 --> 01:22:56,703
Show me how you're gonna
squirm your way out this time.
1037
01:22:56,878 --> 01:22:59,745
- Listen--
- What a sucker you must think I am.
1038
01:22:59,914 --> 01:23:03,315
I took you back when you
came whimpering and crawling.
1039
01:23:03,485 --> 01:23:06,249
I should have kicked your teeth in.
1040
01:23:06,421 --> 01:23:09,515
No, I'm not going to.
1041
01:23:09,691 --> 01:23:13,752
Not now, Kathie.
We'll let the law push you around.
1042
01:23:13,928 --> 01:23:15,691
- You can't.
- You're wrong.
1043
01:23:15,864 --> 01:23:17,889
You're gonna take the rap and play along.
1044
01:23:18,066 --> 01:23:20,830
You're gonna make every exact move
I tell you.
1045
01:23:21,002 --> 01:23:23,334
If you don't, I'll kill you.
1046
01:23:23,505 --> 01:23:26,167
And I'll promise you one thing:
It won't be quick.
1047
01:23:26,341 --> 01:23:28,275
I'll break you first.
1048
01:23:28,443 --> 01:23:32,311
You won't be able to answer a phone or
open a door without thinking, "This is it."
1049
01:23:32,480 --> 01:23:36,075
And when it comes,
it still won't be quick.
1050
01:23:36,318 --> 01:23:38,286
And it won't be pretty.
1051
01:23:39,754 --> 01:23:42,279
You can take your choice.
1052
01:23:42,957 --> 01:23:44,618
Whit.
1053
01:24:03,812 --> 01:24:07,179
I have to go to Reno for your money.
Where's the file?
1054
01:24:07,349 --> 01:24:09,647
Lt'll be mailed to you.
1055
01:24:10,118 --> 01:24:13,087
I crossed you once. I know better
than to try it a second time.
1056
01:24:14,222 --> 01:24:16,816
I've got a reason for wanting
to be let alone.
1057
01:24:16,991 --> 01:24:19,551
You'll get the file,
after I'm out of reach.
1058
01:24:20,995 --> 01:24:23,759
Well, if that's the way it has to be.
1059
01:24:23,932 --> 01:24:27,026
While you're in Reno, find a pilot
who can keep his mouth shut.
1060
01:24:27,202 --> 01:24:30,535
Tell him to set his plane down
in the desert where he won't be seen.
1061
01:24:30,705 --> 01:24:32,570
Make it about dawn.
1062
01:24:32,741 --> 01:24:35,505
And cheer up, Kathie.
You'll get out of it all right.
1063
01:24:35,677 --> 01:24:37,907
You always have.
1064
01:25:26,961 --> 01:25:29,293
- They say you killed a man.
- Do you believe them?
1065
01:25:29,464 --> 01:25:33,332
- Not until you tell me.
- You believe everything I say, don't you?
1066
01:25:33,501 --> 01:25:36,368
Everything you say to me, I believe.
1067
01:25:36,538 --> 01:25:39,063
I don't know why I do this.
1068
01:25:39,641 --> 01:25:42,633
I don't know why I let you come back
into my life. Why I don't...
1069
01:25:42,811 --> 01:25:46,008
...slap your face and send you home.
I don't know.
1070
01:25:46,181 --> 01:25:49,275
- Because you said you'd come back.
- But not like this.
1071
01:25:49,451 --> 01:25:52,443
- You didn't kill him, did you?
- No.
1072
01:25:53,321 --> 01:25:55,653
You know, I had to come back.
1073
01:25:59,994 --> 01:26:03,691
- Take me with you, Jeff.
- I have to play this alone.
1074
01:26:04,699 --> 01:26:08,430
- You've seen her again?
- Yeah, I saw her.
1075
01:26:08,603 --> 01:26:12,005
- Was it the same?
- I saw her, and it was nothing.
1076
01:26:13,275 --> 01:26:16,005
She can't be all bad. No one is.
1077
01:26:16,178 --> 01:26:18,703
Well, she comes the closest.
1078
01:26:18,881 --> 01:26:21,645
- Are you going to see her again?
- Tonight, for the last time.
1079
01:26:21,817 --> 01:26:24,752
Then look at her. And look at yourself.
1080
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:29,948
And be very sure that there isn't even
a little bit of love left for her.
1081
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:35,522
Then when you find out
and you know it once and forever...
1082
01:26:35,698 --> 01:26:37,495
...send for me.
1083
01:26:37,666 --> 01:26:41,227
I don't have to find out.
I know it now.
1084
01:26:43,305 --> 01:26:46,934
- That's all I wanted to hear.
- You know, maybe I was wrong...
1085
01:26:47,109 --> 01:26:50,340
...and luck is like love.
You have to go all the way to find it.
1086
01:26:50,613 --> 01:26:52,547
You do to keep it.
1087
01:26:52,715 --> 01:26:55,513
You better go.
Did the kid do what I told him?
1088
01:26:55,684 --> 01:26:58,517
They're following him south,
the state police and all of them.
1089
01:26:58,687 --> 01:26:59,984
Good.
1090
01:27:01,190 --> 01:27:03,454
I can't go.
1091
01:27:23,279 --> 01:27:26,339
- You can put that away.
- I can't think of a better place to put it.
1092
01:27:28,117 --> 01:27:31,382
- I just want to tell you something.
- Tell it.
1093
01:27:31,554 --> 01:27:33,044
I was going to kill you.
1094
01:27:33,422 --> 01:27:35,947
- Who isn't?
- Or tell the cops where you were.
1095
01:27:38,527 --> 01:27:39,926
I followed Ann tonight.
1096
01:27:40,996 --> 01:27:44,796
- What stopped you?
- Some things you said to her.
1097
01:27:44,967 --> 01:27:48,596
- You said were gonna tell me something.
- I grew up with her.
1098
01:27:48,771 --> 01:27:51,399
I've loved her ever since
I fixed her roller skates.
1099
01:27:51,574 --> 01:27:54,702
I don't know whether I'm good enough
for her, but I know you aren't.
1100
01:27:54,877 --> 01:27:57,937
That's one difference.
The other is that she loves me.
1101
01:27:58,113 --> 01:28:01,446
You told her you didn't know why
you let her back into your dirty life.
1102
01:28:01,617 --> 01:28:04,950
I don't know what got you where you are
or where it's gonna take you.
1103
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,350
She's not going with it.
1104
01:28:08,924 --> 01:28:10,619
Why don't you say it to the law.
1105
01:28:10,793 --> 01:28:14,092
Then all the rest of your life
you can tell her how you did it.
1106
01:29:00,876 --> 01:29:04,073
You can't make deals
with a dead man, Jeff.
1107
01:29:04,847 --> 01:29:06,815
No, you can't.
1108
01:29:13,288 --> 01:29:16,086
- Let's get out of here.
- There's someplace left to go?
1109
01:29:16,258 --> 01:29:19,625
- I think so.
- You're running the show now?
1110
01:29:23,432 --> 01:29:25,423
Do you mind, Jeff?
1111
01:29:27,803 --> 01:29:32,297
Remember the mountains? Higher than these
and always snow on them.
1112
01:29:32,474 --> 01:29:36,467
- We should have stayed there.
- I'm trying to remember something else.
1113
01:29:36,645 --> 01:29:39,045
I never told you I was anything
but what I am.
1114
01:29:39,214 --> 01:29:41,307
You just wanted to imagine I was.
1115
01:29:41,483 --> 01:29:44,850
That's why I left you.
Now we're back to stay.
1116
01:29:45,020 --> 01:29:48,717
- And I have nothing to say about it?
- Well, have you?
1117
01:29:48,891 --> 01:29:52,554
Whit's dead.
A bundle of papers isn't any good.
1118
01:29:52,728 --> 01:29:56,027
If Joe was around, you could
use him, but Joe's dead too.
1119
01:29:56,198 --> 01:29:58,462
So, what are you gonna do
about Eels and Fisher?
1120
01:29:58,634 --> 01:30:01,000
For that matter,
what are you gonna do about this?
1121
01:30:01,170 --> 01:30:03,229
Someone has to take the blame.
1122
01:30:03,405 --> 01:30:07,671
You have nothing on me, but I'd make
a fine witness for the prosecution.
1123
01:30:09,044 --> 01:30:12,571
Don't you see? You've only me
to make deals with now.
1124
01:30:13,415 --> 01:30:16,145
- Well, build my gallows high, baby.
- No.
1125
01:30:16,919 --> 01:30:20,787
No, we're starting all over.
I wanna go back to Mexico.
1126
01:30:20,956 --> 01:30:23,857
I wanna walk out of the sun again
and find you waiting.
1127
01:30:24,026 --> 01:30:28,053
I wanna sit in the same moonlight
and tell you all the things I never told you...
1128
01:30:28,230 --> 01:30:31,961
...until you don't hate me.
Until sometime you love again.
1129
01:30:32,134 --> 01:30:35,103
They'll always be looking for us.
They won't stop till we die.
1130
01:30:35,270 --> 01:30:38,603
I don't care.
Just so they find us together.
1131
01:30:39,708 --> 01:30:43,838
If you're thinking of anyone else, don't.
It wouldn't work.
1132
01:30:44,012 --> 01:30:46,344
You're no good for anyone but me.
1133
01:30:46,515 --> 01:30:48,449
You're no good and neither am I.
1134
01:30:49,017 --> 01:30:51,645
That's why we deserve each other.
1135
01:30:57,459 --> 01:30:59,359
Did he get the plane?
1136
01:30:59,528 --> 01:31:02,759
- Where is it?
- I'm running the show, don't forget.
1137
01:31:02,931 --> 01:31:05,058
I doubt you'll ever let me.
Where's the money?
1138
01:31:05,234 --> 01:31:09,193
- Upstairs.
- Better pack a couple of bags and get it.
1139
01:31:11,440 --> 01:31:14,932
- Put a few things in for me.
- I have.
1140
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:06,325
Thanks.
1141
01:32:08,664 --> 01:32:11,155
Do you remember La Mar Azul?
1142
01:32:11,900 --> 01:32:14,892
If I remember, you were a very
clumsy flirt, but I liked that.
1143
01:32:15,070 --> 01:32:17,163
We owe it all to José Rodriguez.
1144
01:32:18,540 --> 01:32:22,032
I wonder if he'll ever know
what a bad guide he really was.
1145
01:32:23,079 --> 01:32:26,606
Jeff, we've been wrong a lot
and unlucky a long time.
1146
01:32:26,783 --> 01:32:29,343
I think we deserve a break.
1147
01:32:31,054 --> 01:32:33,284
We deserve each other.
1148
01:33:05,221 --> 01:33:07,086
Hurry, Jeff.
1149
01:33:52,835 --> 01:33:54,632
Dirty, double-crossing rat!
1150
01:34:41,918 --> 01:34:43,647
Sorry.
1151
01:34:47,557 --> 01:34:50,993
Too many people. Too much talk.
1152
01:34:51,260 --> 01:34:53,421
Maybe that's why I like this town.
1153
01:34:53,596 --> 01:34:56,656
Here, three people are really a crowd.
1154
01:34:58,468 --> 01:35:01,369
Let's get in the car
and get away from them.
1155
01:35:01,537 --> 01:35:04,404
I won't talk to you, Ann.
I just wanna be with you.
1156
01:35:04,574 --> 01:35:07,737
Thanks, Jim, but I can't.
1157
01:35:17,887 --> 01:35:21,687
You can tell me.
You knew him better than I did.
1158
01:35:22,125 --> 01:35:24,753
Was he going away with her?
1159
01:35:26,095 --> 01:35:28,256
I have to know.
1160
01:35:30,233 --> 01:35:31,996
Was he going away with her?
