00:02:27 Enough's enough, Curly. You can't eat
00:02:49 Down the hatch.
00:03:03 - She's no good.
00:03:06 When you're right, you're right.
00:03:10 I'll pay you the rest next week.
00:03:15 They pay less for skipjack
00:03:19 I only brought it up to illustrate a point.
00:03:25 - Thank you, Mr Gittes.
00:03:30 Mrs Mulwray is waiting for you,
00:03:35 Mrs Mulwray, may I present Mr Gittes.
00:03:38 - Mrs Mulwray, how do you?
00:03:42 What seems to be the problem?
00:03:46 My husband... I believe
00:03:52 No... really?
00:03:56 Mr Gittes, do you think
00:04:02 I'm afraid not.
00:04:05 - and at some point
00:04:08 - I can't do everything myself.
00:04:17 What makes you certain that your
00:04:23 A wife can tell.
00:04:28 - Do you love your husband?
00:04:31 Then go home and forget everything.
00:04:34 I'm sure he loves you too. Do you know
00:04:40 - You're better off not knowing.
00:04:49 Very well.
00:04:52 - What is your husband's first name?
00:04:58 - Water and Power?
00:05:03 Chief engineer?
00:05:11 This type of investigation
00:05:17 - It takes time...
00:05:26 Okay, we'll see what we can do.
00:05:32 Today you can hop a streetcar, and in
00:05:39 You can swim in it and fish in it,
00:05:42 You can't
00:05:46 We live next door to the ocean,
00:05:51 Los Angeles is a desert community.
00:05:54 Beneath this building is a desert.
00:05:57 Without water, the dust will rise up
00:06:02 The Alto Vallejo can save us from this.
00:06:05 I suggest that 8 million dollars
00:06:10 - to keep the desert from our streets,
00:06:20 Mayor Bagby... Let's hear from
00:06:23 We'd better take Water and Power first.
00:06:39 In case you've forgotten, over 500 died
00:06:46 This shale is similar to the permeable
00:06:54 It couldn't withstand
00:06:56 Now you propose
00:07:00 - with slopes of 2 to 1, 112 feet high,
00:07:07 Well, it won't hold.
00:07:11 I'm not going to make
00:07:26 What the hell are you doing?
00:07:30 Tell me where to take them!
00:07:36 You steal water from the valley,
00:07:42 Who's paying you to do that, Mulwray?
00:11:34 SAVE YOUR CITY - LOS ANGELES
00:12:21 - Jeez, he was there all night.
00:12:25 I had to go back three times
00:12:34 Yesterday he went to three reservoirs,
00:12:39 The guy's got water on the brain.
00:12:53 So what have you got?
00:13:16 - This?
00:13:23 - What about?
00:13:27 I heard one thing though:
00:13:31 - Apple core?
00:13:36 - Is that what you spent the day doing?
00:13:42 Let me explain
00:13:46 This business requires
00:13:53 - What is it, Sophie?
00:14:00 - Duff, where are you?
00:14:05 - Slow down. Where are you?
00:14:11 Okay...
00:14:15 Echo Park. Water again.
00:14:30 Okay, pal,
00:14:40 You'll love it.
00:15:44 When you get this much publicity,
00:15:55 - Look at that, Barn.
00:16:00 Fools' names and fools' faces.
00:16:06 - What's that, pal?
00:16:11 - What do you do to make ends meet?
00:16:17 Did you foreclose
00:16:21 - We don't publish records in the paper.
00:16:25 - No, you have your press agent do it.
00:16:30 I make an honest living. I help people
00:16:35 I don't kick families out of their houses
00:16:39 Maybe you'd like to go outside
00:16:44 - Let me tell you about the guy...
00:16:50 - I make an honest living.
00:16:53 Anyway, this guy got tired
00:16:57 So his friend says he should do
00:17:05 Duffy. Hey, Walsh! Sophie,
00:17:09 But Mr Gittes...
00:17:14 Yes, Mr Gittes.
00:17:16 I want to tell you a story. There's a
00:17:22 - Jake, there's a problem.
00:17:25 His friend says to do it like the Chinese
00:17:30 "Well, first they screw a little bit,
00:17:36 - come back, screw a little bit more,
00:17:40 - Jake!
00:17:45 "They go back
00:17:48 - and then they contemplate the moon.
00:17:52 So now the guy goes home
00:17:56 So he screws her a little, then goes out
00:18:02 He goes back in and screws her a bit,
00:18:07 His wife is sore. So the next time he's
00:18:14 "Hey, what's the matter with you?
00:18:19 Jesus, that Barney...
00:18:27 - Mr Gittes?
00:18:32 Do you know me?
00:18:35 Well... I think
00:18:40 Have we ever met?
00:18:44 Well, no.
00:18:45 - Never?
00:18:48 That's what I thought. I'm Mrs Evelyn
00:18:55 Not that Mulwray?
00:18:59 Yes, Mr Gittes. That Mulwray.
00:19:03 And since you agree
00:19:06 - you must also agree that I never
00:19:11 I see you like publicity, Mr Gittes.
00:19:15 Well, you're going to get it.
00:19:18 There's been some misunderstanding.
00:19:23 I don't get tough with anyone.
00:19:29 Here's something for you, Mr Gittes.
00:19:35 I suppose we'll be hearing
00:19:53 - Mr Mulwray?
00:19:56 - May I ask what it's regarding?
00:20:00 - Since lunch.
00:20:04 - He was expecting you?
00:20:10 Sir!
00:21:40 Could I help you?
00:21:44 J.J. Gittes.
00:21:48 - Would you care to wait in my office?
00:21:53 We're a bit nervous,
00:21:56 - about Mr Mulwray.
00:22:05 After you've worked with a man
00:22:09 - you come to know
00:22:13 Either he's the kind who chases
00:22:18 - Mulwray never even kids about it.
00:22:25 - Sit down.
00:22:28 - Where is he having lunch?
00:22:33 - Well, tell him I'll be back.
00:22:38 Do you mind if I take one of your cards,
00:22:48 - Mulvihill, what are you doing here?
00:22:52 How'd you find out? You don't drink it,
00:22:58 They wrote you a letter... But then
00:23:04 Relax, glad to see you.
00:23:07 - Do you know Claude Mulvihill?
00:23:11 - Doing what?
00:23:15 - Any particular reason?
00:23:20 - But the city needs drinking water.
00:23:26 When he was sheriff, the rum runners
00:23:32 - and never lost a drop. He ought to be
00:24:35 J.J. Gittes to see Mr Mulwray.
00:25:00 Please.
00:25:16 You wait.
00:26:17 - Bad for glass.
00:26:21 Bad for the glass.
00:26:58 - Mr Gittes.
00:27:05 - Something to drink?
00:27:08 - Iced tea.
00:27:15 My husband's at the office.
00:27:18 Actually, he's not. And he's checked
00:27:24 That's not his apartment.
00:27:27 Anyway, the point is,
00:27:33 - but I am in business. Whoever
00:27:37 L.A. Is a small town. People talk.
00:27:43 You've talked me into it.
00:27:46 - What?
00:27:50 - Sugar, lemon, or both?
00:27:58 I better talk to your husband.
00:28:01 Why? Hollis seems to think
00:28:06 I've been accused of a lot of things,
00:28:10 Someone's gone to a lot of trouble,
00:28:14 I'm not supposed to be the one
00:28:18 Unless it's a problem,
00:28:22 - May I speak frankly, Mrs Mulwray?
00:28:27 That little girlfriend. She was pretty,
00:28:32 She's disappeared.
00:28:35 - If they did, how does that affect you?
00:28:40 It's very personal.
00:28:44 - Is this an obsession with you?
00:28:49 This phoney broad, excuse
00:28:55 Whoever put her up to it isn't after me,
00:28:58 If I can see him, I can help him.
00:29:04 - Did you talk to him this morning?
00:29:08 I went riding rather early.
00:29:11 - It looks like you went quite a distance.
00:29:16 You might try the Oak Pass
00:29:21 He often takes walks.
00:29:24 - I'll stop by.
00:29:43 Sorry, closed to public.
00:29:46 That's all right, officer...
00:29:50 Russ Yelburton,
00:29:53 Sorry, Mr Yelburton.
00:30:21 - Gittes, get out before he sees you.
00:30:29 - Hello, Jake.
00:30:34 Lousy cold I can't seem to shake,
00:30:40 - Summer colds are the worst.
00:30:43 - There's no smoking here.
00:30:47 I'll see he's careful with the matches
00:30:52 How'd you get past the guard?
00:30:55 To tell you the truth, I lied a little.
00:30:59 - You look like you've done well.
00:31:03 Sometimes it takes a man a while
00:31:07 Yeah, going through
00:31:10 Tell me, you still putting Chinamen
00:31:17 You're a little behind the times.
00:31:22 And I'm out of Chinatown.
00:31:24 - Since when?
00:31:29 Congratulations.
00:31:31 - What are you doing around here?
00:31:37 - Hollis Mulwray. You seen him?
00:31:41 - I'd like to talk to him.
00:31:47 You're welcome to try.
00:32:09 It looks like he was washed down
00:32:14 - Could he swim?
00:32:17 Obviously, the fall must have
00:32:22 Mrs Mulwray, this alleged affair
00:32:29 The publicity didn't make him
00:32:36 It didn't make him happy.
00:32:38 - He couldn't have taken his own life?
00:32:44 Do you happen to know the name
00:32:50 - No.
00:32:54 You and your husband
00:33:00 We did.
00:33:05 We quarrelled over her, of course.
00:33:09 A complete surprise? I thought
00:33:14 A private investigator?
00:33:17 Mr Gittes.
00:33:24 Yes, but I did that to put an end to
00:33:34 When did Mr Gittes inform you that the
00:33:38 Just before the story broke
00:33:42 You wouldn't happen to know where
00:33:47 - No.
00:33:50 - Will you need me for anything else?
00:33:54 If we need any more information
00:33:58 Of course you have
00:34:02 I'll see her to the car, Lou.
00:34:08 - Jake, what's the story?
00:34:11 We better do this in a hurry...
00:34:17 You want a picture, guys?
00:34:23 Thank you for going along with me
00:34:26 I just didn't want to explain anything.
00:34:31 - A check?
00:34:51 I'll have it this afternoon...
00:34:55 It's my lunch hour, Morty. I thought I'd
00:35:00 Middle of a drought,
00:35:05 - Only in L.A.
00:35:08 Well, it's a long fall.
00:35:15 So how are you doing, Morty?
00:35:18 Never better, except for this cough.
00:35:21 - You know me, Jake.
00:35:31 - So who have you got there?
00:35:37 Used to hang around Ferguson's Alley.
00:35:41 Quite a character. Lately he's been
00:35:48 Had a bureau dresser down there
00:35:59 He drowned too.
00:36:02 - Come again?
00:36:07 - The L.A. River?
00:36:12 - It's dry as a bone.
00:36:17 He ain't gonna drown in a damp
00:36:22 We got water out of him. He drowned.
00:37:20 Hello.
00:37:28 Howdy. You were riding out here
00:37:35 - Do you speak English? Habla Ingles?
00:37:41 You were talking to a man
00:37:47 - What did you talk about?
00:37:51 - What about the water?
00:37:54 - What did you tell him?
00:38:00 Every night a different part.
00:40:17 Son of a bitch.
00:40:29 Hold it there, kitty cat.
00:40:38 Hello, Claude.
00:40:46 You're a very nosy fellow.
00:40:50 No? Wanna guess?
00:40:53 No? Okay.
00:41:01 Next time you lose the whole thing.
00:41:03 I'll cut it off
00:41:09 - Understand?
00:41:24 So a contractor wants to build a dam
00:41:29 You can't nail Mulvihill.
00:41:33 I don't want Mulvihill. I want the
00:41:37 - Then what'll you do?
00:41:44 - What is it, Sophie?
00:41:47 - Who?
00:41:51 Don't know her. Take a number.
00:41:54 People like that will be having dinner
00:42:00 I'm sorry. Miss Sessions insists.
00:42:03 - She says you know her.
00:42:11 Hello, Miss Sessions.
00:42:14 - Oh yes we have. Are you alone?
00:42:19 What can I do for you?
00:42:22 Well, I'm a working girl. I didn't
00:42:27 - When did you come in?
00:42:32 Shut the fuck up...
00:42:35 Yes, I remember.
00:42:37 - Is something wrong?
00:42:42 - Go on.
00:42:47 If it gets out, I want someone to know
00:42:52 I understand. Who was your employer?
00:42:57 Oh, no. No.
00:43:01 What's your address?
00:43:05 Just look in the obituary column
00:43:10 You'll find one of those people.
00:43:16 Sure...
00:43:55 Thank you for coming.
00:44:04 - Yes, sir?
00:44:07 Tom Collins with lime, not lemon.
00:44:14 I got your check in the mail.
00:44:18 - As I said, I was very grateful.
00:44:28 - How much would you like?
00:44:33 But I think you short-changed me
00:44:39 Something else besides the death
00:44:44 - You were upset, but not that upset.
00:44:52 Sorry.
00:44:55 You sue me, your husband dies,
00:45:00 All of it quicker than the wind
00:45:06 - Then you ask me to lie to the police.
00:45:10 If he was killed, it was. This could look
00:45:16 But he wasn't killed.
00:45:20 Mrs Mulwray,
00:45:31 I suppose I am.
00:45:37 - How did you find out?
00:45:40 He told you? And you weren't
00:45:45 I was grateful.
00:45:48 - You'll have to explain that.
00:45:52 When a wife tells me she's happy
00:45:57 - it runs contrary to my experience.
00:46:00 - Unless what?
00:46:09 Were you?
00:46:15 I dislike the word "cheat".
00:46:18 Did you have affairs?
00:46:24 I wouldn't run home and tell him
00:46:29 - Anything else you want to know?
00:46:35 - I can't tell you.
00:46:38 - I can't tell you.
00:46:43 - For very long?
00:46:48 It's difficult for me.
00:46:53 Now, I think you know
00:46:58 I didn't want publicity. I didn't want to
00:47:03 Is that all?
00:47:07 Oh, by the way...
00:47:14 Cross.
00:47:18 - That's your maiden name?
00:47:22 No reason.
00:47:24 - You must have had a reason to ask.
00:47:33 No, I have my own car. The Packard.
00:47:37 Wait a minute, sonny.
00:47:41 There's nothing more to say.
00:47:43 Get my car, please.
00:47:48 Okay, but in case you're interested,
00:47:53 Someone's been dumping thousands
00:47:56 - and we're supposedly in a drought.
00:48:01 There's a drowned drunk. Involuntary
00:48:07 It seems like half the city is trying
00:48:12 - but I goddam near lost my nose.
00:48:16 And I like it.
00:48:19 And I still think
00:48:31 Mr Gittes...
00:48:42 J.J. Gittes to see Mr Yelburton.
00:49:13 Mr Yelburton will be busy
00:49:17 Well, it's my lunch hour. I can wait.
00:49:20 He's liable to be tied up indefinitely.
00:49:24 I take a long lunch hour.
00:50:27 - Noah Cross worked for the company?
00:50:32 - Did he or didn't he?
00:50:36 - He owned the water department?
00:50:41 You mean, he owned
00:50:51 - How'd they get it away from him?
00:50:57 Mr Mulwray?
00:51:01 Along with Mr Mulwray.
00:51:04 - They were partners?
00:51:44 Mr Yelburton will see you now.
00:51:52 Mr Gittes, sorry to keep you waiting.
00:51:58 It must be especially tough to take over
00:52:02 Yes, Hollis was the best
00:52:06 - What happened to your nose?
00:52:12 - That must really smart.
00:52:20 Only when you breathe... Don't tell me
00:52:26 - I never was.
00:52:29 Neither do I, actually.
00:52:33 Or you hired that chippie to hire me.
00:52:36 - You're not making a bit of sense.
00:52:43 Mulwray didn't want to build a dam.
00:52:47 You decided to ruin it. Then he found
00:52:53 Then he was... drowned.
00:52:57 That's an outrageous accusation.
00:53:02 Well, Whitey Mehrholtz
00:53:06 Dumping thousands of gallons of water
00:53:13 Mr Gittes...
00:53:15 We're not anxious for it to get around,
00:53:21 - to irrigate orange groves
00:53:24 They have no legal right to our water,
00:53:30 When you divert water,
00:53:34 Yeah, a little run-off...
00:53:39 - In the Northwest Valley.
00:53:43 My field men are out,
00:53:48 You're a married man, aren't you?
00:53:55 - Yes.
00:54:02 I want to find out who put you up to it.
00:54:08 Call me, I can help. Who knows,
00:54:13 - on a few big shots, and you can stay
00:54:58 - Drink?
00:55:05 What is your usual salary?
00:55:08 $35 a day, plus 20 for my associates.
00:55:13 Plus expenses,
00:55:21 Whoever killed my husband,
00:55:24 Money. How they plan to make it
00:55:31 I'll pay your salary, plus $5,000, -
00:55:35 - if you find out what happened
00:55:43 Sophie, draw up one of our
00:55:52 Were you married before Mulwray and
00:56:00 Noah Cross is your father, isn't he?
00:56:05 Yes, of course.
00:56:07 It was sometime after. I was just out
00:56:15 Then you married
00:56:20 You've already got one going.
00:56:25 Does my talking about your father
00:56:29 No...
00:56:31 Yes, a little.
00:56:36 ...my father
00:56:41 - Over you or the water department?
00:56:47 Then it was over the water department.
00:56:50 Hollis felt the water should belong to
00:56:57 Actually, it was over the
00:57:02 - Hollis never forgave him for it.
00:57:06 For talking him into building it.
00:57:15 You sure about that?
00:57:17 Of course I'm sure.
00:57:24 Sign here.
00:57:27 The copy's for you.
00:58:28 Mr Gittes?
00:58:31 How do you do?
00:58:33 - You got a nasty reputation. I like that.
00:58:39 You're not a bank president. In your
00:58:45 - It doesn't hurt.
00:58:50 - Probably.
00:58:53 Unless she's suddenly come up
00:58:57 She happens to think
00:59:01 - How did she get that idea?
00:59:07 I hope you don't mind. I believe
00:59:12 As long as you don't
00:59:16 Tell me, what do the police say?
00:59:19 They're calling it an accident.
00:59:22 - Who's the investigating officer?
00:59:26 - You know him?
00:59:29 - Where from?
00:59:36 - Would you call him a capable man?
00:59:41 - Honest?
00:59:44 He has to swim
00:59:48 But there's no reason to think
00:59:52 - Too bad.
00:59:56 It makes me think you're
01:00:00 - financially speaking, of course.
01:00:03 What are you charging her?
01:00:07 My usual fee,
01:00:11 Are you sleeping with her?
01:00:15 You have to think about that
00:00:02 If you want an answer to that question,
00:00:09 - Good afternoon.
00:00:13 She's just lost her husband.
00:00:18 - Sit down.
00:00:23 You may think you know what you're
00:00:29 - Why is that funny?
00:00:34 Was he right?
00:00:37 Exactly what do you know about me?
00:00:45 You're rich, and too respectable
00:00:51 Of course I'm respectable. I'm old.
00:00:55 Politicians, ugly buildings and whores
00:01:00 I'll double your fee and pay you
00:01:06 - Girlfriend?
00:01:11 - Wouldn't it be useful to talk to her?
00:01:16 If he was murdered,
00:01:21 When was the last time you saw him?
00:01:25 Sheriff's gold posse. Damn fools.
00:01:27 They paid $5,000 apiece
00:01:31 I let them practice up here.
00:01:38 - Do you know when you last saw him?
00:01:44 Five days ago, at the Pig & Whistle.
00:01:50 I got the pictures in my office,
00:01:56 - What did you argue about?
00:02:01 - What about her?
00:02:10 I know Hollis was fond of her.
00:02:17 I had no idea you and Hollis
00:02:21 Hollis Mulwray made this city,
00:02:28 We were a lot closer
00:02:33 If you want to hire me, I still have
00:02:39 My daughter's very jealous. I didn't
00:02:45 - How did you find out?
00:02:53 Okay...
00:02:59 I'll have my secretary
00:03:02 Are you frightened for the girl
00:03:09 Just find the girl.
00:03:12 I'll look into it, as soon as
00:03:17 - Orange groves?
00:03:27 Could you tell me where the plat
00:03:32 Part of it's in Ventura County. We don't
00:03:37 Then I'll settle for L.A. County.
00:03:41 Row 23, section C.
00:03:47 Weasel.
00:04:42 Sonny, why do they have all those
00:04:49 Land sales out of escrow
00:04:52 - Then these are all new owners?
00:04:56 That means that most of the Valley's
00:05:03 Can I check one of these volumes out?
00:05:07 This is not a lending library,
00:05:11 - How about a ruler?
00:05:14 The print's fine, and I left my glasses at
00:05:32 I thank you.
00:06:38 Hold it right there!
00:07:45 All right, quit it now!
00:08:02 I didn't tell you
00:08:06 - Search him!
00:08:10 Who are you with, the Water
00:08:16 Get away from me! Come near me with
00:08:20 - Pick on somebody your own size.
00:08:29 The name's Gittes, private investigator.
00:08:36 What are you doing out here?
00:08:38 A client hired me to see if the Water
00:08:44 The Water Dept.'s been sending people
00:08:48 They put poison in my wells.
00:08:52 Who'd hire you for a thing like that?
00:09:00 - Mrs Evelyn Mulwray.
00:09:04 Mulwray's dead. You don't know what
00:09:15 Well, that's that.
00:09:42 What's going on?
00:09:44 You didn't look good. We thought
00:09:53 Thanks for coming.
00:09:59 That dam your husband opposed
00:10:04 They're conning L.A. Into building it,
00:10:10 Everything you can see. All around us.
00:10:20 In the last three months,
00:10:24 Emma Dill: 12,000. C. Speer: 5,000.
00:10:31 Jasper Lamar Crabb? I think
00:10:35 They're blowing the farmers out
00:10:40 You know what this land would
00:10:44 About 30 million more
00:10:49 - Hollis knew about this?
00:10:54 Jasper Lamar Crabb...
00:11:01 - We got it.
00:11:04 "A memorial was held at the
00:11:08 - He passed away two weeks ago.
00:11:14 He passed away two weeks ago.
00:11:18 That's unusual.
00:12:01 Hello, I'm Mr Palmer.
00:12:05 Yes, I hope so.
00:12:08 - It's Dad. I can't handle him anymore.
00:12:14 - It's nothing with Dad, it's me.
00:12:18 - But when he and my h...
00:12:22 Of course, I'm anxious for him
00:12:26 - Perhaps if we met with your father.
00:12:32 Do you accept people
00:12:36 - I'm sorry, but we don't.
00:12:42 Would it be possible to see a list
00:12:47 We never reveal
00:12:51 - You'd agree if your father lived here.
00:12:57 - Is it too late for us to look around?
00:13:01 - Could we stroll on our own?
00:13:06 - It's almost bedtime.
00:13:10 Come, my sweet.
00:13:23 Charley, you ought to know
00:13:46 They're all there. Every goddam name.
00:13:55 You're looking at the owners
00:14:04 They may not know it,
00:14:08 Hello, girls.
00:14:11 Are any of you Emma Dill?
00:14:15 Are you Emma?
00:14:17 - I've wanted to meet you a long time.
00:14:20 - Did you know you were very wealthy?
00:14:24 - You own a lot of land.
00:14:29 Some time ago, my late husband
00:14:34 - but we lost it.
00:14:36 That's very beautiful. Where
00:14:41 At the Albacore Club.
00:14:44 Albacore. It's a fish.
00:14:49 My grandson is a member.
00:14:54 - How do they do that?
00:15:00 - But what?
00:15:05 Would you come with me?
00:15:12 Goodbye, ladies.
00:15:22 I want you to meet someone, Gittes.
00:15:25 - Can we leave the lady out of this?
00:15:28 - I'd like to see her to the car.
00:15:32 - I'll stay.
00:16:53 Maid's night off?
00:16:55 - Why?
00:16:59 I gave everyone the night off.
00:17:03 - Easy, it's an innocent question.
00:17:08 I guess you're right.
00:17:13 To you, Mrs Mulwray.
00:17:16 Frankly, tonight you saved my a...
00:17:23 Tell me, Mr Gittes,
00:17:30 What's that?
00:17:32 I'm judging only on part of today, but
00:17:37 - I'd say you'd be lucky
00:17:42 - This hasn't happened for a long time.
00:17:48 - Why?
00:17:56 - In Chinatown.
00:18:01 - Working for the District Attorney.
00:18:05 - As little as possible.
00:18:11 They do in Chinatown.
00:18:14 Why did you leave the police force?
00:18:20 Do you have any peroxide,
00:18:25 Surely. Come this way.
00:18:45 God!
00:18:49 That's a nasty cut.
00:18:53 I had no idea.
00:18:59 Sorry!
00:19:04 Is it painful?
00:19:09 It must be painful.
00:19:12 - What's wrong?
00:19:19 What about it?
00:19:21 There's something black
00:19:25 Oh, that.
00:19:32 - A flaw?
00:20:12 - Did you wear a uniform?
00:20:19 You must have looked cute in blue.
00:20:23 Give me a break, will you?
00:20:25 I want to know more about you.
00:20:31 Not now.
00:20:34 You really don't like to talk about
00:20:40 I'm tired.
00:20:42 - Why does it bother you to talk of it?
00:20:48 - Where?
00:20:53 - To me it was just bad luck.
00:20:59 You can't always tell what's going on.
00:21:04 Like with you.
00:21:15 Why was...
00:21:25 I was trying to keep someone
00:21:28 I ended up
00:21:33 Cherchez la femme.
00:21:39 Was there a woman involved?
00:21:43 Of course.
00:21:46 Dead?
00:22:00 Yes, hello?
00:22:04 Oh, my God!
00:22:08 Don't do anything until I get there.
00:22:16 I have to go.
00:22:17 - Where?
00:22:22 - I want to know where you're going.
00:22:25 It has nothing to do with you
00:22:28 - Where are you going?
00:22:33 Trust me this much.
00:22:45 I'll be back.
00:22:52 There is something
00:22:56 - about the fishing club
00:23:04 - The Albacore Club.
00:23:08 - I know.
00:23:12 I saw him.
00:23:17 You saw... my father?
00:23:25 - When?
00:23:30 - You didn't tell me.
00:23:37 What did he say?
00:23:43 - What did he say?
00:23:49 - That he was afraid what you might do.
00:23:54 Mulwray's girlfriend, for one.
00:23:59 He wanted to know where she was.
00:24:04 I want you to listen to me.
00:24:10 You don't know how dangerous.
00:24:15 Are you trying to tell me
00:24:18 It's possible.
00:24:26 - Even the death of your husband?
00:24:31 Now please, don't ask me any more
00:24:36 I need you here.
00:28:08 - Give me the keys.
00:28:13 It's either that
00:28:19 Come on, Mrs Mulwray. You have your
00:28:24 - She's not tied up.
00:28:27 I am not.
00:28:30 - Okay, then let's go talk to her.
00:28:34 She's too upset.
00:28:39 - What about?
00:28:43 I tried to keep it from her until
00:28:49 She just found out about it?
00:28:54 - That's not what it looks like.
00:28:59 Like she knows more
00:29:04 - You're insane.
00:29:08 I don't care what you've done.
00:29:15 - You won't go to the police if I tell you?
00:29:39 She's my sister.
00:29:46 Take it easy.
00:29:49 If she's your sister, she's your sister.
00:29:52 Why all the secrecy?
00:29:56 I can't...
00:29:57 Is it because she was
00:30:05 I'd never have harmed Hollis.
00:30:09 He was the most gentle,
00:30:15 And he put up with more from me
00:30:20 I wanted him to be happy.
00:30:42 I borrowed your husband's car.
00:30:47 - Aren't you coming back with me?
00:30:54 That's not what I meant.
00:30:59 Yeah, well...
00:31:02 I'm tired, Mrs Mulwray. Good night.
00:32:10 Gittes? Gittes?
00:32:13 - Yeah?
00:32:16 - Who?
00:32:21 - Yeah, I do?
00:32:27 I'll tell you what, pal...
00:32:30 If Ida wants to see me,
00:33:00 848 East Kensington, Echo Park.
00:33:04 She begged me to call.
00:36:07 Find anything interesting, Gittes?
00:36:14 - What are you doing around here?
00:36:19 - How come you happen to know her?
00:36:26 I want to show you something.
00:36:37 - Isn't that your phone number?
00:36:42 Just to make sure,
00:36:45 What happened to your nose?
00:36:52 Nope. Your wife got excited,
00:37:19 - They look familiar?
00:37:23 - How did she happen to have them?
00:37:29 - Do you really think I'm stupid?
00:37:35 - Now I'd like to go home.
00:37:41 This broad hired you,
00:37:45 Somebody
00:37:49 She hired you. That's how
00:37:53 - I heard it was an accident.
00:37:59 Mulwray had salt water in his lungs.
00:38:03 You tailed him day and night. You saw
00:38:08 It was Evelyn Mulwray.
00:38:13 You accuse me of extortion? You're
00:38:19 I wouldn't extort a nickel
00:38:24 I want the pictures. Accessory after
00:38:30 You think Evelyn killed her husband
00:38:32 - then dragged him up to a reservoir
00:38:37 He was moved because somebody
00:38:43 He found out they were dumping water
00:38:49 - What the hell are you talking about?
00:38:54 Come on, Lou, you're in charge.
00:39:15 It's too late.
00:39:21 - Reach anybody?
00:39:23 - I know. Go on.
00:39:26 - I know what he says.
00:39:31 He says there's irrigation in the Valley,
00:39:35 He says Gittes knows this, and that
00:39:41 Let's get a warrant for her arrest.
00:39:45 He just made lieutenant. He wants
00:39:53 Have her in my office in two hours.
00:39:58 I've got you right now
00:40:47 Where's Mrs Mulwray?
00:40:54 Is she going on a trip?
00:40:57 What going on here?
00:41:01 - Mrs Mulwray no home.
00:41:14 - Yeah, bad for the glass.
00:41:19 Salt water very bad for glass.
00:41:36 Salt water?
00:41:38 Very, very bad. See?
00:41:49 What's that?
00:41:52 Right there.
00:41:58 There.
00:42:54 - You wait.
00:43:01 How are you? I've been calling you.
00:43:05 - Have you slept?
00:43:08 Have you had lunch?
00:43:11 - Where's the girl?
00:43:14 - I want to see her.
00:43:18 - Why do you want to see her?
00:43:22 Yes, we have a 5:30 train to catch.
00:43:28 Jake...
00:43:39 J.J. Gittes for Lt. Escobar.
00:43:42 - What's wrong? I said we have a 5:30...
00:43:50 Lou, meet me at 1972 Canyon Drive.
00:43:55 Yeah, as soon as you can.
00:43:58 - Why did you do that?
00:44:03 - No.
00:44:08 They're expensive,
00:44:12 Will you please tell me
00:44:26 I found these in your backyard,
00:44:30 They belonged to your husband,
00:44:35 - I don't know. Yes, probably.
00:44:41 - What?
00:44:44 The coroner proved he had salt water
00:44:50 I want to know how it happened,
00:44:52 - before Escobar gets here.
00:44:56 I don't know what you are talking about.
00:45:00 Stop it! I want to make it easy for you.
00:45:05 He hit his head. It was an accident.
00:45:08 So you had to shut her up,
00:45:13 - Yes or no?
00:45:16 Who is she? She's not your sister,
00:45:20 I'll tell you the truth.
00:45:26 Good. What's her name?
00:45:29 - Katherine.
00:45:34 She's my daughter.
00:45:37 - I said I want the truth!
00:45:43 She's my daughter.
00:45:48 I said I want the truth!
00:45:53 She's my sister and my daughter!
00:46:00 Khan, please, go back.
00:46:12 My father and I...
00:46:18 Understand?
00:46:31 He raped you?
00:46:48 - Then what happened?
00:46:52 To Mexico?
00:46:59 Hollis came and took care of me.
00:47:06 I couldn't see her. I was 15.
00:47:13 I wanted to but I...
00:47:20 Then...
00:47:24 Now I want to be with her.
00:47:29 - Where are you gonna take her now?
00:47:34 You can't take the train. Escobar
00:47:42 - How about a plane?
00:47:47 You betterjust go. Leave all this
00:47:53 - Get the exact address.
00:48:00 Those didn't belong to Hollis.
00:48:03 - How do you know?
00:48:37 - Katherine, say hello to Mr Gittes.
00:48:43 Hello.
00:48:49 He lives at 1712 Alameda.
00:48:56 Sure.
00:49:19 Sophie, get me Walsh.
00:49:23 Listen pal, Escobar's gonna try
00:49:28 - What's the matter?
00:49:31 If you don't hear from me in two hours,
00:49:38 - Jesus, that's in Chinatown, aint it?
00:50:13 Come on in, Lou.
00:50:16 Looks like we're both too late.
00:50:24 And you've no idea where she went?
00:50:28 As a matter of fact I do. Her maid's
00:50:33 What's the maid's address?
00:50:36 - She lives in Pedro. I'll write it down...
00:50:42 What for?
00:50:43 Because if she ain't there, you're gonna
00:50:49 Gee Lou, I'm doing the best I can.
00:50:53 Tell us about it
00:51:09 - Let's get the little lady.
00:51:13 I'd like to bring her out myself.
00:51:15 She's not armed,
00:51:19 I just want a minute alone with her.
00:51:28 You never learn, do you, Jake?
00:51:32 I guess not.
00:51:37 Okay...
00:51:40 I'll give you three minutes.
00:51:44 Gee, thanks, Lou.
00:52:03 Hello.
00:52:05 Mr Gittes, come in!
00:52:08 - Call me Jake. How you doing, Curly?
00:52:12 - No, thanks.
00:52:16 - I know.
00:52:19 But I'd like a glass of water.
00:52:28 - Curly, where's your car?
00:52:32 Can you give me a ride somewhere?
00:52:38 - I'll tell my wife.
00:53:11 Just drive slow for a block or two.
00:53:14 - What's this all about?
00:53:20 - How much do you owe me?
00:53:25 You've been good about it,
00:53:28 How would you like to pay me off by
00:53:33 - You'd have to leave tonight.
00:53:37 I might be able to squeeze
00:53:41 Maybe even 100.
00:53:44 - Plus what I owe?
00:53:48 1712 Alameda. Wait for me until 8:30.
00:54:07 You're sure this is okay?
00:54:10 Do you know how long
00:54:40 Have you got your checkbook handy,
00:54:45 - You've got her? Where?
00:54:49 - Yes. Where are you?
00:54:52 - How soon can you get here?
00:55:18 There you are! Well, you don't look
00:55:25 - Where's the girl? Is she all right?
00:55:30 - Well, where is she?
00:55:36 - I've got something I'd like to show you.
00:55:40 An obituary column.
00:55:44 I guess I can manage.
00:55:55 - What does it mean?
00:56:00 Right here. In that pond.
00:56:03 You drowned him,
00:56:10 The coroner's report shows Mulwray
00:56:17 Hollis was always fascinated
00:56:22 - You know what he used to say?
00:56:26 "That's where life begins, tide pools!"
00:56:31 He figured that if you
00:56:35 - and let it percolate
00:56:38 - it wouldn't evaporate the way it does
00:56:44 - He made this city!
00:56:48 I am doing it. When the bond issue
00:56:51 - there will be eight million dollars
00:56:55 People will be mad when they find out
00:57:00 That's all taken care of. You see, -
00:57:03 - either you bring the water to L.A.
00:57:08 - How are you gonna do that?
00:57:15 - How much are you worth?
00:57:18 - Are you worth over ten million?
00:57:22 Why are you doing it? What can
00:57:27 The future, Mr Gittes. The future.
00:57:32 Now where's the girl?
00:57:36 As you now,
00:57:39 - Who do you blame for that? Her?
00:57:45 Most people
00:57:48 - that at the right time and the right
00:57:55 Claude, take those glasses from him.
00:58:05 Not worth it, Mr Gittes.
00:58:09 It's really not worth it.
00:58:16 Take us to the girl.
00:59:11 You remember Night Train Claude
00:59:19 - You're under arrest, Jake.
00:59:24 Withholding evidence, extortion,
00:59:28 I didn't extort nothing from nobody.
00:59:33 He's the bird you're after. I can explain
00:59:38 - He thinks he can get away with it.
00:59:44 I am rich, I am Noah Cross.
00:59:50 He's crazy, Lou! He killed Mulwray
00:59:56 - Lock him to the wheel of the car.
01:00:01 Katherine!
01:00:04 I am your grandfather, my dear.
01:00:12 No, go on.
01:00:17 - Get away from her. Get away!
01:00:24 - Come to my...
01:00:29 How many years have I got?
01:00:34 She's never going to know that.
01:00:38 You're a disturbed woman.
01:00:42 - Evelyn, let the police handle this.
01:00:48 - Get away from her.
01:00:54 Close the door.
01:00:56 Halt!
01:01:38 Get the captain. Get an ambulance.
01:01:47 Lord... Oh, Lord!
01:02:11 - As little as possible.
01:02:16 What's that?
01:02:22 You wanna do your partner
01:02:26 Take him home.
01:02:31 Take him home.
01:02:38 Go home, Jake.
01:02:44 Come on, Jake.
01:02:49 Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.
01:03:05 All right, clear the area!
01:03:11 On the sidewalk!
01:03:14 Get off the street!
01:03:18 Get off the street!
