00:04:53	- Yes?
00:04:56	Park it over there.
00:05:33	This way, Mr. Harper.
00:06:00	- Mrs. Sampson?
00:06:03	Lew Harper.
00:06:06	Albert Graves telephoned. Said
00:06:09	Oh.
00:06:11	- A drink, Mr. Harper?
00:06:16	- I thought you were a detective.
00:06:20	Oh.
00:06:21	Albert Graves is one of our lawyers.
00:06:24	It's on his recommendation I'm hiring you.
00:06:26	It's about time he threw
00:06:29	I've known Albert since he was DA up here.
00:06:32	Oh. He said you were good at finding things.
00:06:36	My husband's...
00:06:38	You're sitting on my robe.
00:06:41	My husband's disappeared.
00:06:44	Tried Missing Persons?
00:06:46	Well, that might mean publicity.
00:06:49	Besides, he's got an
00:06:52	I simply want you to find him and
00:06:55	- Any particular female?
00:06:59	Ralph need never know about this.
00:07:01	He'd be sure I was gathering
00:07:05	Actually, I have no
00:07:08	I only intend to outlive him. I
00:07:15	- What a terrible thing to say.
00:07:19	I used to love him, before we were married.
00:07:23	But after we took our
00:07:26	and that very same week Ralph started
00:07:31	It's taken me a while to forgive him.
00:07:34	A long, long while.
00:07:36	When did your husband...
00:07:37	Don't you want to know what happened to me?
00:07:40	Not necessary.
00:07:41	- When did your husband disappear?
00:07:44	Our pilot, Allan, flew Ralph down from Vegas.
00:07:47	When they reached the airport,
00:07:50	When he came back, Ralph
00:07:52	- Any particular reason?
00:07:55	I don't like him drunk on the loose.
00:07:57	He gets sloppy, sentimental.
00:08:00	Last time it happened, he
00:08:03	He gave it to some semi-nude
00:08:06	You know, LA is the big
00:08:10	That's 'cause there's nothing to do at night.
00:08:12	If you can find him quickly, I'd be grateful.
00:08:15	And if he's with another woman, I'd be...
00:08:21	Well, more than interested.
00:08:25	Felix.
00:08:27	You're lurking in doorways again.
00:08:29	I did not want to interrupt.
00:08:31	You can go now. I'll have
00:08:36	Thank you.
00:08:41	Allan's down by the pool.
00:08:43	Any more particulars you
00:08:46	I'll leave the matter of fee
00:08:49	Did you drive up from LA?
00:08:51	Leave your car here.
00:08:53	Felix will drive you to Albert's
00:08:56	Goodbye, Mr. Harper.
00:08:59	It would help some if I knew
00:09:02	Oh, silly of me.
00:09:07	Here.
00:09:09	You can keep that one.
00:09:11	"A poor thing, but mine own. "
00:09:30	Where's the telephone?
00:09:32	I have to call Los Angeles.
00:09:35	Do you got one with a little more privacy?
00:09:37	That's the phone the help's supposed to use.
00:09:58	- Hello.
00:10:00	Is Susan there yet?
00:10:03	Yes.
00:10:05	Tell her I'm not gonna
00:10:07	I got called in on a situation.
00:10:08	And we were going to get
00:10:11	Where is he this time?
00:10:12	I'm up in Santa Theresa.
00:10:15	Said he needed me for
00:10:17	Something about Albert Graves needing him
00:10:20	and you'll understand.
00:10:21	No. No, I don't.
00:10:23	I've been trying to get this divorce
00:10:26	and I have lately been
00:10:30	- She says she's...
00:10:32	Tell her that I...
00:10:34	We're supposed to be
00:10:35	Now, I don't want a screaming match,
00:10:37	but the last time we were going
00:10:40	It wasn't my fault.
00:10:41	- He says it wasn't...
00:10:44	I don't care what he says.
00:10:45	He's just trying to stall because he
00:10:48	Well, I may change a lot
00:10:51	but my mind isn't about to be one of them.
00:10:53	Look, let me speak to her, will you?
00:10:56	- Here.
00:10:57	Would you put her on?
00:11:00	Take it. Talk to him.
00:11:02	I have taken it. Every year
00:11:05	And I've talked to him, too.
00:11:09	No more nothing.
00:11:12	You hear me, Lew? I don't love you.
00:11:14	And you can get shot in some stinking alley
00:11:16	and I'll be a little
00:11:18	Just a little sorry.
00:11:20	Tell him that, lawyer. Tell
00:11:45	Hey!
00:11:46	Hey. Top of the morning.
00:11:48	- Allan Taggert.
00:11:51	That's Mr. Sampson's daughter.
00:11:53	Miranda.
00:11:58	Miranda.
00:12:00	Lew Harper.
00:12:04	- Could we talk?
00:12:11	Can you tell me something...
00:12:12	My stepmother, Lady Macbeth,
00:12:16	Meaning me, Miss Sampson? I'm
00:12:19	Not you especially.
00:12:21	Everything she does is extreme.
00:12:24	Other women fall off horses
00:12:27	Not Elaine. I think it's
00:12:30	You've been reading too many books.
00:12:31	That's something they'll never accuse you of.
00:12:34	She's not a raving beauty anymore.
00:12:36	- Can I have a sandwich?
00:12:39	So she retired from competition.
00:12:41	Falling off the horse
00:12:43	And for all I know she did it intentionally.
00:12:45	And you've got to admit it's pretty extreme,
00:12:48	hiring a private detective
00:12:50	when your husband's been gone just one night.
00:12:53	That may be so, Miss Sampson.
00:12:55	Tell me about Sampson's disappearance.
00:12:58	He disappeared.
00:13:04	Yesterday afternoon about 3:30,
00:13:05	we flew in from Vegas and
00:13:08	I let Mr. Sampson off at
00:13:10	He said he wanted to call the
00:13:13	Daddy keeps a bungalow there.
00:13:15	I taxied the plane up to
00:13:18	When I got back to the entrance,
00:13:20	I waited. Then I went to the
00:13:25	What about luggage? Was he
00:13:27	He said he was, but he
00:13:30	That doesn't mean anything.
00:13:32	Daddy keeps a lot of clothes at the bungalow.
00:13:34	He likes to be able to pick up fast.
00:13:37	So do I.
00:13:40	How long did it take you
00:13:42	Fifteen minutes. Twenty at the outside.
00:13:44	That's not very much time for a
00:13:50	Maybe he never called the hotel.
00:13:53	Will you be going back to Los Angeles?
00:13:56	- Yeah, after I see a friend.
00:13:59	Sampson's lawyer.
00:14:01	Albert Graves.
00:14:04	Well, you can fly Mr. Harper
00:14:08	I'll fly.
00:14:10	It'll keep me from getting bored.
00:14:13	- Hey, you in a hurry?
00:14:16	- Storing up for the winter?
00:14:19	- Come on, let's split.
00:14:43	You met my friend Felix?
00:14:48	He's always listening.
00:14:51	We're friends, aren't we, Felix?
00:14:57	He's some cat, that Felix.
00:14:59	How come so rough on Miranda?
00:15:01	How come everybody jumps to
00:15:03	Listen, she's no genius, you know.
00:15:05	Besides, she's an adolescent.
00:15:09	Anyway, I got myself a real woman.
00:15:13	How does Miranda get along with her old man?
00:15:15	Okay, until a little while ago,
00:15:17	when he started trying
00:15:19	Oh, yeah? Anybody in particular?
00:15:22	Yeah. Your buddy.
00:15:27	Albert Graves.
00:15:33	Oh.
00:15:43	Oh! Hi.
00:15:47	You look like death warmed over.
00:15:49	Always nice to hear from
00:15:52	What's that?
00:15:54	- Things any better with Susan?
00:15:57	Good, good.
00:16:00	Oh, I just... Staying in shape.
00:16:02	I still do the old Canadian Air
00:16:05	Yogurt for lunch and then a lot of this.
00:16:07	It's all paying off, don't you think?
00:16:09	Yeah, I've never seen you look more
00:16:12	You talk to Mrs. Sampson?
00:16:14	- That's a sweet lady. Warm, content.
00:16:18	- Why'd she hire me?
00:16:21	I think Sampson needs protection.
00:16:22	He's worth $20 million on the
00:16:25	That's just for openers.
00:16:26	I also think he's losing his mind.
00:16:27	Did she mention Claude, the
00:16:31	Yeah.
00:16:32	Now Mrs. Sampson thinks the old
00:16:35	That's because I encouraged
00:16:37	She'd never spend a penny on him if
00:16:41	What about the old-fashioned
00:16:43	I can't. He's psychotic on the subject.
00:16:46	If I went to them and they
00:16:49	What kind of a weirdo is Sampson?
00:16:51	Well, I can tell you everything
00:16:55	He has to make money. He's dedicated to it.
00:16:59	It's the only way he can prove
00:17:02	He had a son, you know.
00:17:05	A pilot. He was killed a few years back.
00:17:07	That's when he started losing his mind.
00:17:09	He's got this fella now, Allan Taggert.
00:17:12	- We met. Nice-looking fella. -
00:17:16	Well, the point is, we're less than
00:17:19	so what does he need a pilot for?
00:17:21	Personally, I like Allan,
00:17:23	I feel he's an unnecessary expense.
00:17:26	How do you have an unnecessary
00:17:30	Well, that's enough exercising.
00:17:32	I don't wanna get too strong.
00:17:35	Did you meet Sampson's daughter?
00:17:38	That ugly, skinny kid?
00:17:42	Oh, Lew, isn't she incredible?
00:17:52	Oh, boy.
00:17:54	You dirty old man.
00:17:56	Go on. You think I'm too old for her.
00:17:57	No. When she's 100, you'll only be 124.
00:18:00	You think I'm old enough to be her father?
00:18:01	You're old enough to be her grandfather.
00:18:05	Go to hell.
00:18:13	Solid Citizen Albert, hung
00:18:16	That's a hoot.
00:18:17	- Lew, did she say anything about me?
00:18:19	- She didn't even mention my name?
00:18:22	Oh, that explains it.
00:18:23	How does she feel about you?
00:18:25	Well, she's young and cautious.
00:18:28	But I have great expectations.
00:18:31	So do I.
00:18:33	My going rate is $2,000 flat
00:18:37	- against 100 hours a day and expenses.
00:18:41	But you can have it if you'll
00:18:43	My pleasure.
00:18:49	Hey, what are your virtues?
00:19:03	I decided to fly down to
00:19:05	- Hello, Miranda.
00:20:28	Excuse me, honey.
00:20:30	Say, did you send a
00:20:33	- to Van Nuys Airport yesterday?
00:20:36	Well, there was this
00:20:38	said he left in a big, black limousine.
00:20:39	Well, he called here
00:20:42	but then he called back and canceled.
00:20:44	You sure it was Sampson both times?
00:20:45	Oh, yes. I recognize his voice.
00:20:50	Did he sound drunk?
00:20:51	Oh, sir, I couldn't give
00:20:54	Sorry.
00:20:56	Got the key?
00:20:58	Well?
00:21:03	Daddy hasn't been here for a
00:21:05	Terrific.
00:21:24	Here.
00:21:25	Well, I think I'll flake out
00:21:30	Well, I was hoping we might do something.
00:21:32	The thing about you, Miranda,
00:21:41	Wow!
00:21:44	No wonder your old man took to the sauce.
00:21:45	I would, too, if I had to sleep in here.
00:21:48	Ever since my brother died I've
00:21:51	this astrology bit,
00:21:52	but obviously without much success.
00:21:54	- Any astrologist in particular?
00:22:02	- Harper.
00:22:06	- You work hard, you know that?
00:22:12	- Harper?
00:22:16	Don't you ever feel the need to relax?
00:22:23	Let's relax some, Harper.
00:22:27	For what? So the beauty in the next
00:22:30	Lady, if you can't get him
00:22:32	I sure ain't gonna do it for you.
00:22:36	Don't you think I'm attractive?
00:22:39	You're young, rich and beautiful,
00:22:41	What do you think I think?
00:22:44	I think you wanna relax.
00:22:50	All right, honey. If you
00:22:53	we'll just douse the lights
00:23:03	Feel better now, Myrtle?
00:23:14	- You know her?
00:23:19	- Hey, Beauty, Fay Estabrook strike a note?
00:23:22	You ever seen her with Sampson?
00:23:24	Any idea where she hangs out?
00:23:26	Yeah, sometimes.
00:23:27	She used to be a pretty hot young
00:23:32	She got fat!
00:23:42	Give me another one of those, will you?
00:23:45	It's 6:02.
00:23:47	We don't serve domestic after 6:00.
00:23:51	Only imported.
00:23:52	Terrific. Keep the change.
00:23:55	There is no change.
00:23:59	Keep it anyway.
00:24:35	Are you Miss Estabrook?
00:24:37	- No! Fay Estabrook?
00:24:40	It is, isn't it? Can I have your autograph?
00:24:43	Well...
00:24:45	You know, it's for my daughter.
00:24:47	She thinks you're just wonderful.
00:24:49	- That's nice.
00:24:51	No. It's no bother.
00:24:53	Thanks. That's all right.

00:29:10	But he's not a nice man.
00:29:13	He...

00:29:20	- Kinky?
00:29:25	Weird. You know what I mean?
00:29:31	Say, you're a real pistol.
00:29:37	- Be back in a sec.

00:29:51	Say, Mrs. Sampson's been calling.
00:29:54	- About what?
00:29:55	She got a special delivery letter from Daddy.
00:29:57	He told her to tell Albert
00:30:00	and get some money ready.
00:30:01	About half a million, cash.
00:30:03	- Are you kidding?
00:30:05	- Is she sure it's your father's writing?
00:30:10	- Well, you better get the money.
00:30:12	Wait.
00:30:14	Till somebody gives us proof
00:30:18	It's a possibility, so
00:30:19	Why don't you get her bedded down?

00:33:38	No, she had to go to the...
00:33:41	Yeah, well, she never could hold her liquor.
00:33:48	Boy, that's shocking treatment.
00:33:49	Ain't nothing like this ever happen in Texas.
00:33:52	Oh, you all from Texas, huh?
00:33:57	Why are you interested in
00:33:59	She's not an old bag of worms.
00:34:02	Well, I disagree, but then, you
00:34:05	and I know whereof I speak.
00:34:11	See what I mean?
00:34:14	Now, my name is Dwight Troy.
00:34:15	I don't think you ever
00:34:17	My name is Lewis Harper. I sell insurance.
00:34:20	I didn't know she was married.
00:34:22	Oh, relax, old stick. I
00:34:25	You want her, you can have her.
00:34:26	But I do not like strangers in my house.
00:34:30	So I don't think I'd better
00:34:34	Is that a threat?
00:34:35	Oh, is it ever, old stick. Now you get along.
00:34:51	You know a place called Piano?
00:34:54	Yeah. Yeah, sure.
00:34:56	But I don't think you wanna go there, mister.
00:34:58	Oh, well, I'm a swinger.
00:36:06	- Lew Harper.
00:36:11	Nice sound you lay down.
00:36:14	Don't put me on. You're probably tone-deaf.
00:36:16	Maybe, but I got every side you ever cut.
00:36:21	You're not very hip, but I believe you.
00:36:27	Except you got cop's eyes.
00:36:34	Narcotics?
00:36:36	Listen, I did my time. I'm straight now.
00:36:42	- What are you after?
00:36:46	I know your voice.
00:36:49	You said you were Troy.
00:36:53	What about Sampson?
00:36:56	- I don't know him.
00:37:00	And I think I can convince my
00:37:03	that those tracks are fresh.
00:37:09	All right, I know him.
00:37:10	He comes in here sometimes and gets drunk.
00:37:12	He's a drunk, and all drunks look alike.
00:37:15	- What else you know?
00:37:16	- Come on.
00:37:18	- Come on!
00:37:19	Puddler.
00:37:23	He's fuzz, Puddler. Private.
00:37:48	Wise guys. Always making waves.
00:37:56	I'm gonna teach you.
00:38:13	Hot damn! I did it!
00:38:15	Hey, Harper. Hey, you see that?
00:38:17	Harper? You all right?
00:38:21	Sure you are. Come on.
00:38:23	Hey, you know, this
00:38:26	- Oh, boy.
00:38:28	Wait a minute. Wait...
00:38:29	Can you make it?
00:38:35	- Where'd you come from?
00:38:38	So I talked one of my buddies out of a car
00:38:39	and started hitting some of Sampson's spots.
00:38:41	This joint was one of them. I was
00:38:44	Well, I'm in your debt, Beauty.
00:38:48	- Where you parked?
00:38:51	Hey, you really think Sampson was kidnapped?
00:38:53	- Who'd do it?
00:38:56	A guy named Troy, maybe
00:38:59	- Come on, let's go.
00:39:02	Back to the first place I
00:39:25	What's this place all about?
00:39:27	That Fraley broad said something
00:39:29	and somebody didn't want me around.
00:39:32	Maybe 'cause Sampson's in it.
00:40:13	- Do you want me to break that down?
00:40:16	- You really mean it?
00:40:18	Hot damn!
00:40:23	Yeah, detective work is
00:40:29	Oh, boy. That hurt a little
00:40:38	You know how to use this?
00:40:40	Oh, I prefer a Thompson, actually,
00:40:43	You dirty rat!
00:40:44	- "You gave that man oranges?"
00:40:48	If that truck should come through, or
00:41:05	Some other time, dumpling.
00:41:30	- What happened?
00:41:35	I was trying to blow a tire.
00:42:13	Hey, Lew. You all right?
00:42:17	I'm awful tired of answering that question.
00:42:27	You sure the handwriting is his?
00:42:29	That moronic scrawl is unforgettable.
00:42:34	It's not unlikely your husband's
00:42:37	Kidnapping is a federal offense.
00:42:39	I'm well aware of that, Mr. Harper,
00:42:41	but please don't bother suggesting
00:42:44	Kidnapping is a federal offense.
00:42:47	I'm not sure my husband's business
00:42:50	Not all of them, anyway.
00:42:52	You may be jumping to conclusions.
00:42:54	For all we know,
00:42:56	Ralph may be planning
00:42:58	with some happy harlot and
00:43:01	I think your husband's been kidnapped.
00:43:04	Your husband keeps lousy
00:43:08	as bad as there is in LA.
00:43:10	And that's as bad as there is.
00:43:12	I knew it.
00:43:15	Oh, he loves playing the family
00:43:20	Water seeks its own level,
00:43:22	and that should leave Ralph bathing
00:43:26	Daddy may be dead, and you're crowing.
00:43:28	I don't believe it's the
00:43:31	You have such an advantage
00:43:34	being frigid.
00:43:36	Puss, puss, puss.
00:43:38	Did Allan brush you off again?
00:43:40	You simpy, primping, narcissistic...
00:43:43	Either I'm a narcissist or I'm frigid, pussy.
00:43:45	I can't very well be both.
00:43:48	Excuse me, ladies.
00:43:49	Oh, why are you leaving?
00:43:55	I should think you'd be accustomed
00:43:59	I love your wrinkles. I revel in them.
00:44:03	Puss, puss, puss.
00:44:11	I...
00:44:12	I just don't enjoy carrying
00:44:15	I'm a lawyer, not a financier.
00:44:17	Albert, you got any friends in the LA Police
00:44:19	from when you were DA up here?
00:44:21	I have some favors left uncollected, yes.
00:44:23	Get them to run a check
00:44:25	rented or stolen in the last three days.
00:44:27	See if you can get them to put
00:44:31	Dwight Troy's place.
00:44:34	You mean Troy...
00:44:35	What do you know about him?
00:44:37	I had to take some papers to Las
00:44:39	He and Troy were gambling.
00:44:41	I checked on Troy.
00:44:42	He seems elegant enough, but people
00:44:47	I've tried telling Sampson, but...
00:44:52	Oh, thank heavens.
00:44:55	I was so nervous, bringing that here.
00:44:57	I got this out of mothballs.
00:44:59	You know, you always were the
00:45:03	Still know how to use it?
00:45:05	I hope not.
00:45:07	Better get a cop up here to
00:45:09	You're not staying?
00:45:11	I'm getting buggy sitting around here.
00:45:13	It's about time I visited that
00:45:16	Miranda? Hello, Miranda. Miranda's coming.
00:45:19	How are you?
00:45:20	- Suicidal.
00:45:22	I just had the nicest chat with stepmommy.
00:45:25	How do I get to that mountain, anyway?
00:45:27	Oh, here, I'll diagram it for you.
00:45:29	Don't bother. I'll take him. I've
00:45:33	Wait till I change.
00:45:39	Wow!
00:45:46	I expect you to behave in all
00:45:50	First it's Taggert's boyish charm, and
00:45:54	- Poor, nice Albert.
00:45:57	Wouldn't you think she'd notice?
00:46:01	The bottom is loaded
00:46:04	Only cream and bastards rise.
00:46:17	Why so fast, Harper?
00:46:19	You got a way of starting
00:46:23	Why is your wife divorcing you?
00:46:26	You got a way of starting
00:46:35	What do you do this kind
00:46:38	What, are you trying to be funny?
00:46:41	I do it because I believe
00:46:42	and Southeast Asia and...
00:46:44	You think it's funny if your life depends
00:46:48	What about the English pound?
00:46:50	I'll tell you something, boy,
00:46:52	you'll find Lew Harper on the job.
00:46:56	- Are you putting me on?
00:47:06	Hey, Harper, what do you think of me?
00:47:10	Well, I'd say you had nearly everything
00:47:13	and could develop into almost anything.
00:47:15	What's my big deficiency?
00:47:20	Your sideburns.
00:47:23	Come on.
00:47:24	Just that.
00:47:25	Stop acting like a bitch in heat
00:47:27	every time anything
00:47:28	Oh, so we think we're pretty.
00:47:30	Well, what's your big deficiency?
00:47:32	I have none. I'm a bloody saint.
00:47:34	Yeah? What about that woman
00:47:36	Well, what could be more saintly?
00:47:37	Just feeding booze to an
00:47:39	All part of the job.
00:47:41	Well, when I'm bored, I drive fast.
00:47:43	I pretend I'm on my way to
00:47:46	all naked and bright.
00:47:48	I've gone 105 along here.
00:47:50	Oh, what are you trying to do? Impress me?
00:47:52	Well, why don't you stand on it, old man?
00:47:56	You're just as stuffy as Albert.
00:48:01	You probably still think a
00:48:04	Not in my home.
00:48:43	Well, now, there's something
00:49:12	Have you come to seek salvation?
00:49:16	It's me, Claude, Miranda Sampson.
00:49:19	This is Mr. Harper.
00:49:21	We're looking for Daddy. Has he been here?
00:49:23	No.
00:49:25	To my sorrow, no.
00:49:27	I'm sorry.
00:49:29	You may not come onto holy
00:49:34	I was once a lost and evil man,
00:49:38	blind-hearted and sinful.
00:49:41	Miranda here can tell you that.
00:49:43	But then the sword of the blessed sun
00:49:46	slew the black beast of the flesh
00:49:49	and I was purified at last.
00:49:52	Can't I just look around?
00:49:55	He'll be risking the wrath of the sun god.
00:49:59	I'm lionhearted.
00:50:16	Expecting disciples for supper?
00:50:18	Whoever comes to the Temple of the Clouds
00:50:20	may be sure of some warm beans and a bed.
00:50:28	- Where is the harm?
00:50:36	I know you think me a charlatan.
00:50:39	I can only say that if you were correct,
00:50:41	then death could not claim me too quickly.
00:50:44	You obviously have some strong
00:50:48	Don't deride me to them, I beg you.
00:50:50	The gift of this temple was
00:50:55	I know to you I look ridiculous,
00:50:59	but I only want to increase the
00:51:04	Where is the harm?
00:51:08	Nowhere.
00:51:09	That in itself is a victory. Don't laugh.
00:51:12	Oh, I only laugh at what's funny.
00:51:14	What's that,
00:51:17	- the bedroom?
00:51:19	It's nice.
00:51:27	How many followers you got up here?
00:51:29	- It varies.
00:51:32	You might say that.
00:51:35	Thanks for the tour.
00:51:38	- Walk with love.
00:51:56	Yeah, I only laugh when it's funny.
00:52:01	My own stupidity, maybe.
00:52:50	- Mr. Graves here?
00:52:52	But there's a deputy in the library.
00:52:57	What's going on?
00:52:59	- Nothing much. Kidnapping and extortion.
00:53:02	Fingerprints?
00:53:05	Now, I knew that. What's the matter with me?
00:53:08	- You got an evidence kit?
00:53:10	Right out in the car. Do you
00:53:12	Oh, no, no. I just want to stand here
00:53:15	No, listen, though, I'll get it for you, sir.
00:53:22	Long arm of the law, good luck.
00:53:37	- Yes?
00:53:39	- Yeah.
00:53:43	"Deposit $500,000
00:53:46	"at 9:00 tonight.
00:53:48	"Oil field, one mile south of Santa Theresa.
00:53:51	"Leave money at large oil
00:53:56	"After drop, drive north and keep on going.
00:53:59	"Too bad for Sampson if you screw up. "
00:54:02	9:00 tonight. That only gives
00:54:04	Better call the Sheriff
00:54:06	Right.
00:54:07	- Anything on the limousine?
00:54:10	Lew?
00:54:12	How do you suppose they
00:54:14	I don't know. Either they're gambling
00:54:18	- You think?
00:54:20	Okay.
00:54:31	Hey!
00:54:33	What are you doing there?
00:54:34	- I was just...
00:54:35	- Five.
00:54:36	Six! Three up, three down.
00:54:41	Too many.
00:54:42	Too damn many.
00:54:47	Since you phoned, I've
00:54:49	and it's my opinion we
00:54:51	and hope they come through with Sampson.
00:54:53	Then if they don't, he'll hunt them down.
00:54:55	- You think?
00:54:56	Oh, no, no. This note says to
00:55:00	Well, that means he'll be
00:55:02	I'll set up a roadblock down the highway.
00:55:04	You do that, you kiss goodbye to Sampson.
00:55:07	Well, whoever I catch, I
00:55:09	You make it worse, you trip the money man.
00:55:12	We'll have the kidnapper in the county jail
00:55:13	but Sampson with his throat cut somewhere.
00:55:15	Who is this clown?
00:55:17	He's a private detective working for us.
00:55:19	Yeah, I used to be a sheriff,
00:55:22	Now, wait a minute.
00:55:24	Gentlemen, please!
00:55:27	- All right. You make the delivery.
00:55:30	I want Beauty and Albert to do it.
00:55:33	And what'll you do?
00:55:38	Are you going to rescue my Ralph for me?
00:55:41	Oh, now, Elaine, I don't want you to worry.
00:55:43	How can I worry with men like you on the job?
00:55:47	- Now, there's a pretty brave woman.
00:58:25	- Hi, there.
00:58:27	Boy, that's gonna look terrific,
00:58:30	You want a nice table?
00:58:32	Well, later, maybe. You can help me, though.
00:58:42	I'm looking for this fella, see.
00:58:44	I met him at the ballpark and he said
00:58:48	- Well, what's his name?
00:58:52	- Now, wait a minute.
00:58:55	I owe him some money on
00:58:59	He's about 40. He's very tall.
00:59:02	Wears a windbreaker and Levi's,
00:59:05	and he drives this small van-truck.
00:59:07	Come again on why you wanna find him?
00:59:09	Well, I owe him money on a bet, see?
00:59:12	And you're just eaten up
00:59:14	You know what happens to
00:59:18	I knew you was a bookie
00:59:21	No kidding.
00:59:26	You could really tell that I
00:59:29	You been waiting tables as long as
00:59:34	But you can't be no help, huh?
00:59:36	Eddie's who you want.
00:59:38	Eddie's somebody.
00:59:39	Only he ain't been here for two
00:59:42	I remember 'cause he wanted
00:59:44	and the boss didn't care for that,
00:59:45	'cause sometimes he gets stung
00:59:48	Well, Eddie made the call anyway.
00:59:54	How much you owe Eddie?
00:59:56	Where's the boss?
00:59:59	Behind the bar.
01:00:07	Give me a can of beer.
01:00:09	Say, I'm looking for a fellow by the
01:00:13	Well, he called me long-distance
01:00:17	- You from Las Vegas?
01:00:20	You know, I would've
01:00:22	No kidding. You can tell, huh?
01:00:26	Oh, really tell?
01:00:29	You must be physic.
01:00:31	Psychic, you mean.
01:00:35	You know where Eddie lives?
01:00:40	Well, give me some dimes then, will you?
01:01:09	Oh, terrific.
01:02:04	Hello?
01:02:05	- Oh, Mrs. Harper?
01:02:08	- Mrs. Lewis Harper?
01:02:11	Oh, thank heavens.
01:02:12	You see, we've just picked your name
01:02:17	only you had to be there to
01:02:20	Win?
01:02:23	Six one-hour frug lessons, absolutely free.
01:02:27	Yes. Well, I'm Austin Schwartz-Marmaduke
01:02:29	of the Schwartz-Marmaduke
01:02:33	Well, you must have heard of
01:02:35	Yes, next to the Frug Foundation.
01:02:38	I don't want any frug lessons.
01:02:40	Oh, but of course you do, dear lady.
01:02:42	Well, just think how terrific you'll feel
01:02:44	the next time you and
01:02:47	how endlessly feminine you'll feel.
01:02:49	My husband is dead.
01:02:52	Oh. Well, that's too bad.
01:02:55	- As a matter of fact...
01:02:58	His death did nothing but
01:03:02	He was a fool, a sadist,
01:03:04	a functioning pathological pervert.
01:03:07	You mean he actually...
01:03:09	Oh, but I do. Oh, he was
01:03:12	I mean, can a soul be atrocious?
01:03:14	Well, I'd never...
01:03:17	His was.
01:03:19	He was a degenerate's degenerate.
01:03:24	You won't believe this, Mr. Marmaduke,
01:03:26	but he used to call me
01:03:28	pretending to be other people.
01:03:30	He actually thought it was funny.
01:03:32	Well...
01:03:35	Listen, I'm in a bar at Castle Beach,
01:03:37	but I'm hiding from an idiot cop in
01:03:45	You're right. That is funny!
01:03:53	- Lew?
01:03:56	- Lew?
01:03:59	Kiss off.
01:04:01	Oh, come on now. Don't hang up.
01:04:04	What are you? You lost your sense of humor?
01:04:14	- Okay, put them up.
01:04:16	Your hands.
01:04:18	I just couldn't. I mean, I really couldn't.
01:04:20	- How'd you get here?
01:04:22	- How did you know his name was Eddie?
01:04:27	Why don't you kiss off?
01:04:29	- The Sheriff told me to stay on the job.
01:04:32	This bartender here told me that Eddie
01:04:36	Yeah, well, I was trying
01:04:39	- Pump. It's a gag.
01:04:42	Now, why don't you tell
01:04:43	Well, I found out that Eddie phoned
01:04:48	Sampson was in Las Vegas three nights ago.
01:04:51	It all fits. It all fits!
01:04:53	Oh, yeah, it all fits.
01:04:55	You know, you ought to stick around.
01:04:58	This place is a hotbed of information.
01:05:00	Oh, yeah, right here.
01:05:04	Go ahead.
01:07:02	What are you doing here?
01:07:04	I got the call. I've been converted.
01:07:07	Is there no end to your sacrilege?
01:07:13	Stay right where you are, fella.
01:07:17	Please. I don't want any trouble.
01:07:22	I said please.
01:07:25	Where's Sampson?
01:07:40	Stay right there.
01:07:42	Tell them to stay there!
01:08:45	Well, well. Do get up, old stick.
01:08:48	No, I kind of like it down here.
01:08:52	Come, come, Mr. Harper. You
01:08:59	I'm shocked, Mr. Troy. A man of your eminence
01:09:03	involved in something as seamy
01:09:06	Yeah, well, you are right,
01:09:09	But it pays so well.
01:09:10	You know, they are wonderfully cheap workers.
01:09:12	And the poor idiots, they
01:09:14	and then ranch owners and
01:09:17	Disgustingly lucrative.
01:09:19	But, as you suggest, hardly
01:09:25	More important, Mr. Harper, at
01:09:33	I'll pay you to let me go.
01:09:36	Well, you're rather low on bargaining
01:09:40	Not necessarily. Where's Sampson?
01:09:42	Ralph Sampson? Well, dear
01:09:44	And the 500,000?
01:09:47	500,000 what?
01:09:55	No more riddles, old stick.
01:09:57	Your driver kidnapped Sampson two days ago.
01:10:00	Eddie Rossiter?
01:10:02	Tonight he picked up a half
01:10:05	Well, he hasn't got the brains.
01:10:07	Got enough brains to be
01:10:10	Whoever killed him got the money.
01:10:13	Well, I see, and that's
01:10:16	You suspect me.
01:10:17	I do if you drive a white convertible.
01:10:25	Mr. Harper, I am surrounded
01:10:29	Claude, we are leaving the temple.
01:10:31	Collect our latest truckload. Take
01:10:34	Get the cash, lose the truck.
01:10:39	Puddler, was Betty at the club tonight?
01:10:42	- No.
01:10:44	The white convertible, yeah.
01:10:45	Does she still live in the same place?
01:10:47	No, she moved to a beach house
01:10:50	- You know where it is?
01:10:53	You take Mr. Harper to the usual place.
01:11:02	Au revoir, Mr. Harper.
01:11:10	Now, you make yourself at home, old stick.
01:11:19	Now, you and me are gonna have
01:11:24	You're not gonna cause me any problems.
01:11:31	Leave it open. I need the air. You stink.
01:11:35	Man, you got a bad mouth.
01:11:38	You're rotten. I can smell you.
01:11:49	You be a good boy.
01:11:51	'Cause I can give you a lot
01:11:55	- We both know what you're afraid of.
01:12:01	You?
01:12:14	You know, there's an old expression.
01:12:17	You kill the body and the head dies.
01:12:20	Did you ever hear that?
01:12:37	How'd you like that, huh? Huh?
01:12:42	Tell me about it. How'd you like that?
01:12:43	You kill the body and the head dies, huh?
01:12:44	You tell me about it, huh?
01:12:46	Untie me and I'll tear your head off.
01:12:49	Now I get it.
01:12:51	You want me to untie you
01:12:54	You can't trick me.
01:12:55	You fish-eyed faggot.
01:13:40	Harper!
01:13:45	Harper!
01:13:46	You ain't going nowhere.
01:16:29	- Who is it?
01:16:35	What do you want?
01:16:41	Susan?
01:16:50	But what happened?
01:16:53	I'm cold.
01:16:56	Why did you come here?
01:16:58	- You know why.
01:17:04	We're not going to get involved.
01:17:10	We are involved.
01:17:12	Were. We've been there. It didn't work.
01:17:16	Help me, Susan.
01:17:25	- Get out, Lew.
01:17:27	- Now you do. What about later?
01:17:30	No, you'll take off on whatever
01:17:34	- I'm through.
01:17:36	- No, I mean it.
01:17:37	- I hate it. I'm done with it.
01:17:39	I swear to you.
01:17:40	You just want a warm body beside
01:17:43	- Not anymore.
01:17:46	- The hell you say.
01:17:47	- Not when I'm like this.
01:17:50	- Just a few kind words.
01:17:54	Anything I can get.
01:18:00	At least you're honest.
01:18:20	- Let me get some...
01:18:32	- I'm not even sure I like you.
01:18:37	You used to carry me.
01:18:39	That's when I was younger.
01:19:20	I thought I threw out all your suits.
01:19:25	You sure threw out all the shirts.
01:19:27	And we were just gonna lounge around all day.
01:19:30	I'll call you as soon as I can.
01:19:33	Going back on it.
01:19:37	And what you said last night.
01:19:41	Forget what I said last night.
01:19:44	Oh, sure. I understand.
01:19:51	You're really ending things
01:19:55	You know that?
01:19:59	Why do you have to go back? Why?
01:20:04	Can't you tell me?
01:20:07	'Cause it's not over yet.
01:20:13	All this food. I feel like such a fool.
01:20:20	Our little wedding breakfast.
01:20:23	Goodbye, Lew.
01:20:26	Goodbye.
01:20:31	Aren't you gonna wish me luck?
01:20:43	Just an infinitely lingering disease.
01:20:59	- Hello, Albert.
01:21:02	Anything new on Sampson?
01:21:03	No, but we know who the murdered man is.
01:21:05	I copied down the high
01:21:08	Name, Eddie Rossiter. Usual truancy stuff.
01:21:10	Worked his way up to car thief.
01:21:12	Boy, that's a colorful one.
01:21:14	Then narcotics, arrested with sister
01:21:18	- After he got out, he...
01:21:20	- How are you, Beauty?
01:21:25	- Where does he live?
01:21:30	The Sheriff is a bit put
01:21:32	He feels you haven't quite
01:21:40	Okay. Where did you go after you left
01:21:46	I was looking for Sampson.
01:21:48	A half a million in cash missing,
01:21:52	Wait a minute. You expect me
01:21:54	Look, I don't care whether
01:21:56	Baby, I'm not working for you.
01:21:57	You know, if I wanted to be ugly,
01:21:58	- I could put you away...
01:22:01	- Does he know who he's talking to?
01:22:03	A sheriff with a tough case on his hands
01:22:05	and no ideas in his head.
01:22:06	Well, if you'd come on like a human
01:22:10	I might have given you a couple
01:22:12	Put out a statewide alarm.
01:22:14	And put her down for suspicion
01:22:17	And you can put out another alarm
01:22:19	and a religious nut named Claude,
01:22:22	They've been using Sampson's
01:22:24	and they just dropped a bunch
01:22:26	Oh, and don't bother thanking me,
01:22:30	doing his duty.
01:22:35	- Are you sure of all that?
01:22:37	- You better give King Kong a hand.
01:22:40	I'm gonna crack this thing,
01:22:42	It's gonna be laid out.
01:23:34	- Lew, baby.
01:23:38	Hey! What happened to you?
01:23:40	She was a big girl.
01:23:41	- You're a big jazz buff, aren't you?
01:23:45	What can I do for you?
01:23:47	You're very polite.
01:23:48	What you really mean is what the
01:23:50	Well, my shirt's not as neat as it might be
01:23:52	and I thought I might borrow one from you.
01:23:54	Help yourself. You want a beer?
01:23:56	Yeah.
01:23:57	Do you really believe that's why I came here?
01:23:59	- Sure.
01:24:03	'Cause what I'm trying to do is tie
01:24:06	in on the kidnapping.
01:24:10	Are you kidding?
01:24:11	Hey, I don't know what you're on,
01:24:14	Eddie Rossiter phoned you in Las Vegas.
01:24:18	You told him when Sampson was coming to LA.
01:24:19	You probably told him to rent a limousine.
01:24:22	And the next day you got Sampson
01:24:26	And when he phoned the
01:24:29	and phoned for Eddie to pick him up instead.
01:24:34	The canceled call's important, buddy,
01:24:36	'cause you're the only one who knew
01:24:42	Go ahead.
01:24:43	Give me your Sampson imitation.
01:24:48	Lew, I'm on your side.
01:24:52	You did, temporarily, to
01:24:55	It worked, too.
01:24:57	When you took a potshot at that
01:25:00	But what you were really doing
01:25:05	Are you saying all this because
01:25:07	You know, there's hundreds of
01:25:10	First day I met you, you
01:25:13	Is that it?
01:25:14	I don't even know her. I never
01:25:17	Were you seen a lot together? I can check.
01:25:19	Well, so check.
01:25:20	I mean, look. Sure, I been to
01:25:22	Just to hear her. I dig the way she
01:25:29	I don't. Honestly.
01:25:39	Okay, kid, I believe you.
01:25:43	Oh, this mess has got me crawling up
01:25:46	But I had to pressure you, you understand?
01:25:48	Sure.
01:25:53	I mean, just for starters, the...
01:25:55	You know, the idea of you
01:25:59	I know a little something about human nature,
01:26:02	and you two just don't cut
01:26:06	- This one okay?
01:26:13	She's a perverted, no-talent junkie.
01:26:17	A prime nympho, on top of that.
01:26:20	Night I was there, she was
01:26:23	Not just me, but everybody in
01:26:26	She's a blemish come to life, that one.
01:26:29	Can you believe that something
01:26:32	You know, if we had the right contacts,
01:26:35	Book her into all the best freak shows.
01:26:37	'Course, we'd only let her be seen at night.
01:26:39	We wouldn't wanna have little
01:26:42	I've seen pigs in my day, but...
01:26:46	Can you imagine what it'd be
01:26:50	Like cozying up to a piece of fungus.
01:26:56	That's the first chick I ever met
01:26:59	They ought to truck her back to the...
01:27:12	You can be very cruel, you know that?
01:27:16	What Betty and I have together,
01:27:19	But that doesn't give you
01:27:22	If you think she's Aphrodite,
01:27:25	All I want is Sampson, if he's still alive.
01:27:28	He is, so far.
01:27:30	Then give him to me.
01:27:32	Take the money. I won't talk, I mean it.
01:27:35	But killing me gets you nothing.
01:27:38	Wrong, baby.
01:27:40	It guarantees me freedom of action.
01:27:42	In this state, it
01:27:45	What kind of freedom are you gonna have,
01:27:48	Nobody's running.
01:27:50	We'll be sitting very happily at Castle Beach
01:27:52	in our lovely little cottage by the sea
01:27:54	while everybody thinks we're running.
01:27:55	You can have your lousy little
01:28:05	Top of the morning.
01:28:40	He was in on the kidnapping,
01:28:43	She was in love with him.
01:28:45	Do you know that I almost stopped off
01:28:52	How could you get caught like that?
01:28:56	Well, I guess I hoped he wasn't involved.
01:29:00	You better get the Sheriff in
01:29:15	Come on.
01:29:43	I wonder how Miranda's gonna take that.
01:29:44	Well, there's a strong chance she
01:29:48	- And I'm wondering if...
01:29:51	Well, I know it isn't strictly
01:29:53	You got a big nerve, asking favors like that.
01:29:55	What have you done for me lately?
01:30:09	Miss Sampson?
01:30:12	I've got some moderately good news for you.
01:30:14	We have reason to believe
01:30:17	How do you know?
01:30:18	I just spoke to one of the
01:30:20	His name was Allan Taggert.
01:30:23	You killed him?
01:30:24	He was trying to kill me. Albert got him.
01:30:30	Allan was so beautiful.
01:30:32	Typecast for the hero.
01:30:33	You keep getting fooled by appearances.
01:30:42	Go ahead, let it out.
01:30:44	Why don't you shut up?
01:30:47	Fooled by appearances?
01:30:51	I'm the grieving daughter, right?
01:30:53	Not right. I don't give
01:30:58	I never did.
01:30:59	He's a terrible man, and
01:31:03	Yesterday, when the note came, I
01:31:08	and that means I'm just like my stepmother.
01:31:12	So I thought, "You'd better
01:31:14	"before everyone discovers what
01:31:20	Albert.
01:31:25	Do you think I'm horrid, Albert?
01:31:27	Horrid?
01:31:29	Why, no, no!
01:31:33	What? Certainly not.
01:31:42	What? Quite the contrary.
01:32:01	- Hey. Castle Beach, right?
01:32:04	Got a road that runs down by the ocean?
01:32:07	Yes, sir. You house-hunting?
01:32:09	More or less.
01:32:10	Well, you go down here and you
01:32:14	and go down to the ocean,
01:32:16	and it starts right there
01:32:18	Thanks.
01:33:29	No! Oh, no!
01:33:34	No! No! No!
01:33:36	Oh, God! Oh, God! Oh...
01:33:43	Betty, honey,
01:33:46	I simply cannot fathom
01:33:50	Betty, tell him. Please tell him.
01:33:53	You and Eddie. Very devious,
01:34:02	You know by now, along with my friends here,
01:34:05	that I enjoy inflicting pain.
01:34:10	As well as I know that you
01:34:13	So now I think the sensible thing for you
01:34:15	would just be to tell me where the money is.
01:34:22	No?
01:34:24	Well, then, I must warn
01:34:29	is gorgeously unendurable.
01:35:08	The locker in the frozen meat place.
01:35:12	The key's in that black shell.
01:35:18	Thank you very kindly, Betty.
01:35:37	You killed him in cold blood!
01:35:39	If you don't stop yelling,
01:35:57	You remember this, don't you, buddy boy?
01:36:00	See this?
01:36:07	I'll give you everything. I'll
01:36:09	- It's a rich choice. I'll take your shoes.
01:36:12	All right! I'll give you...
01:36:17	- Look. Get in there.
01:36:25	Can you walk?
01:36:27	Maybe.
01:36:30	You're coming with me.
01:36:45	Fay'll get out.
01:36:47	What, a fat, barefoot
01:36:52	I'm still looking for Sampson. Where is he?
01:36:56	I'll tell you what I think.
01:36:59	You got the key to the locker,
01:37:06	But I know where Sampson is,
01:37:08	and that's gonna buy me my
01:37:13	Right?
01:37:15	Well, the happiness market's crashed, baby.
01:37:19	Taggert's dead.
01:37:25	Now, where is Sampson?
01:37:28	You're just trying to get me to talk.
01:37:30	You're right. I'm trying to get you to talk.
01:37:33	But I'm not lying about Taggert.
01:37:36	He's dead.
01:37:45	Now, you recognize his gun, don't you?
01:37:53	The far side of Santa Theresa.
01:37:56	The old section of the pier.
01:38:01	Sampson's in the first
01:38:11	Just rest your feet,
01:38:32	Albert? Put on your skates, buddy boy. Yeah.
01:38:38	The old pier. He's in an abandoned
01:38:42	- You got that?
01:38:43	- Think you'll be able to find it?
01:38:47	All right. Oh, listen, you
01:38:49	Yeah. Have him go down to
01:38:52	A lovely little cottage down there
01:38:55	Yeah, that's on the outside.
01:38:57	On the inside there's a couple of guys
01:38:58	that are pretty badly chewed up.
01:38:59	Better get down there with an ambulance.
01:39:01	Yeah, well, listen, buddy, with a little
01:39:05	- What?
01:39:30	- Did you kill Allan?
01:39:34	He was trying to kill me.
01:39:37	Don't I wish he had!
01:39:41	You know, I could feel a lot of sympathy
01:39:42	for someone as tenderhearted as you, Betty,
01:39:45	except I keep remembering that
01:39:47	- Shot him in the head.
01:39:52	I brought him up.
01:39:55	I taught him about music, and
01:40:01	Narcotics?
01:40:02	He fingered me as a user.
01:40:06	Eddie never knew I knew he fingered me,
01:40:10	but I always swore I'd get him.
01:40:14	I got him.
01:40:17	You sucked Taggert in 'cause you needed
01:40:20	No. No, we loved each other. We cared.
01:40:26	Allan and me, we...
01:40:27	We needed money so we could be together.
01:40:32	Hell, I don't buy love's old
01:40:35	Yeah, well, it's true.
01:40:37	You're jealous.
01:40:39	Everybody was jealous of Allan and me.
01:40:45	Were you there when he died?
01:40:49	I bet he died...
01:40:53	Oh, I bet his last words were about me.
01:40:59	I bet he died saying my name.
01:41:03	Tell me
01:41:05	the truth now.
01:41:08	Tell me.
01:41:10	Yeah, you're right. I am
01:41:14	Don't you think I knew that?
01:42:46	Mr. Sampson?
01:43:06	Albert? Albert?
01:43:11	Lew? Lew, it's me.
01:43:15	Lew?
01:43:18	Lew, it's Albert.
01:43:25	- What happened?
01:43:28	- You gonna be all right?
01:43:31	Somebody must have been
01:43:34	He really suckered me.
01:43:35	- What kept you?
01:43:38	I couldn't find this silly tug.
01:43:40	I been in one boat after another.
01:43:42	I was looking for your car. I'm sorry, Lew.
01:43:45	- You mean it's not there now?
01:43:47	I didn't see it, anyway.
01:43:49	Well, the guy that mugged
01:43:51	He just hotwired the ignition
01:43:56	But I wonder if they took off with Sampson.
01:44:00	We better check everything. Come on.
01:44:07	You wanna check down there?
01:44:35	- That's Sampson, isn't it?
01:44:39	Well, you did all you could, Lew.
01:44:41	No, if you did all you could and you did
01:44:48	- Give me your car key.
01:44:51	- After Betty Fraley.
01:44:54	Well, he cops will want
01:44:56	Come on. Move it! Move it!
01:45:02	How do you know which way she went?
01:45:04	I know the ransom money's in a
01:45:07	Well, then, why are we
01:45:09	She'll want to get as far
01:45:12	'cause I got the key to the locker.
01:45:15	Well, if we catch her on this
01:45:17	I haven't changed spark plugs
01:45:20	I'll catch her.
01:47:19	13-A2.
01:47:21	It was pretty bad.
01:47:24	Found him this afternoon, Mrs. Sampson.
01:47:26	Albert was there. He identified him.
01:47:29	Well, I'm sorry, Mrs. Sampson,
01:47:32	but your husband is dead.
01:47:35	Oh, that's terrible. Terrible!
01:47:42	Ralph!
01:47:44	Yeah, well, listen, you better tell
01:47:49	But Ralph didn't have an enemy in the world.
01:47:53	He was such a good man.
01:47:56	Gentle, kind,
01:47:59	wouldn't hurt a fly.
01:48:05	Hang this up, will you?
01:48:07	Miranda!
01:48:09	Miranda!
01:48:14	Mommy has something to tell you.
01:48:18	All units in the vicinity of 57th
01:48:22	All units in the vicinity of 57
01:48:26	Where to now?
01:48:28	- 311, handle a call, Code 3.
01:49:21	Where now?
01:49:23	The grieving widow.
01:49:26	Sheriff Spanner seemed very confident
01:49:32	What? I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.
01:49:33	The fourth man. The one
01:49:36	Spanner says there's a waiter at The Piano.
01:49:40	He hasn't showed up for a
01:49:43	He's the fourth man, the albino.
01:49:45	Spanner says he won't be hard to find.
01:49:48	What fourth man?
01:49:52	You're the fourth man, fink.
01:49:57	You think I kidnapped Sampson?
01:50:00	No, but you killed him.
01:50:02	What do you think was killing
01:50:06	Wasn't any fourth man, Albert.
01:50:08	She took off in that car by
01:50:12	No strain to her. She was taught
01:50:16	Oh, well, who cares? Who cares?
01:50:22	This is what nailed you. Really nailed you.
01:50:26	You think a member of a
01:50:30	and then with $500,000 at stake,
01:50:34	And Betty wouldn't tell him?
01:50:38	No, you killed him, Albert,
01:50:42	But what I don't know is why.
01:50:44	As a lawyer, I have to caution you
01:50:47	Well, proving it's not my job.
01:50:48	- I'll be perfectly safe in a court of law.
01:50:52	Just a couple of buddies
01:50:54	discussing the events of the day.
01:50:58	Only don't lie to me, Albert. I
01:51:02	Okay?
01:51:06	Come on.
01:51:11	I don't know why, actually.
01:51:18	I hadn't intended to. Nothing premeditated.
01:51:24	But when I found him
01:51:27	and was faced with the
01:51:32	it just suddenly seemed
01:51:37	When it came to cruelty, he
01:51:40	With anybody.
01:51:42	His wife, daughter, stranger in the street.
01:51:48	When he found out how I felt about
01:51:52	But he never would have let me
01:51:58	Just laughs for the client,
01:52:05	And then today, when she
01:52:08	and I felt the texture of her skin...
01:52:15	Perhaps I killed him
01:52:19	But I do know that his passing will
01:52:25	You gonna turn me in?
01:52:27	- Got no other choice, buddy boy.
01:52:31	Got a better friend than me?
01:52:34	I haven't got many friends,
01:52:37	He was scum, Lew. I swear it.
01:52:40	Well, you know, when we first met,
01:52:44	you were gonna push your way
01:52:48	of this great and powerful
01:52:51	That was a pretty nasty and
01:52:57	Do governor-type people do that today?
01:53:00	Jeez, makes you stop and wonder.
01:53:03	And you were going to push your way up
01:53:06	that the great and powerful
01:53:12	How does it feel to be popping your
01:53:17	spying on the cheaters?
01:53:19	Yeah, well...
01:53:22	Things just don't turn out
01:53:25	You were hired by a bitch to find scum.
01:53:28	Yeah, and every time I hope
01:53:32	sending me out to scout out Cinderella.
01:53:36	Oh, yeah.
01:53:39	Boy, I had a total of about eight
01:53:44	But then I had five or six good weeks.
01:53:47	Let me tell you something.
01:53:49	I mean, it's something
01:53:51	and Susan sure as hell won't,
01:53:55	but those five or six
01:54:01	So all I can do, Albert,
01:54:04	all the way down the line.
01:54:07	Well, I understand why
01:54:10	Do you understand why I can't let you?
01:54:12	Oh, yeah. You still got the gun?
01:54:17	Well, then, you better use
01:54:30	Well, the way I feel now, if
01:54:32	it won't be the worst thing
01:54:39	So long, Albert.
01:55:08	Oh, hell.
01:55:11	Oh, hell.
