WHISTLES FOR ATTENTION

TOOTS HORN

0:01:360:01:40

< Where's Bailey?

0:01:490:01:52

Deaf and dumb, eh?

0:01:550:01:57

< Can you read lips?

0:02:070:02:10

Where is Bailey?

0:02:110:02:15

Coming back today? Come on...!

0:02:160:02:22

-Hello, Marny.

-Well, look who's back!

0:02:480:02:51

-Hey, I thought you were a blonde.

-For all your thinking of me I could be bald!

0:02:510:02:57

-Ham on rye. Did you miss me, honey?

-I can't think of anyone else who did.

0:02:570:03:03

-But Bailey doesn't miss nothin'.

-Nor you!

0:03:030:03:06

She's your girl and he ain't my man. I just see what I see.

0:03:060:03:11

-Sure you don't see what you hear?

-Nothing happens I don't hear about.

0:03:110:03:16

-Every day they go fishing together.

-Look, the sandwich.

0:03:160:03:22

Two things I can smell anywhere - a burning hamburger and a romance!

0:03:220:03:26

-You got a customer.

-What'll you have?

0:03:260:03:29

Coffee? Nothing else? Cream.

0:03:290:03:33

-Where you been this time?

-LA.

-Coffee?

-No, thanks.

0:03:330:03:37

First she's got you, now him too. The only thing I get is older.

0:03:370:03:42

I'll see you later, Marny.

0:03:420:03:45

Hmm...guess I must have said something. Enough.

0:03:480:03:52

They just don't want to hear. That's the trouble with the world.

0:03:520:03:58

Maybe you're right. Tell me something... I didn't know I could!

0:03:580:04:04

Does Bailey run the gas station? Know him?

0:04:040:04:08

I might have once.

0:04:080:04:11

If he keeps mooning around Jim's girl, no-one will know him!

0:04:110:04:16

You...er...see much of Bailey?

0:04:160:04:19

Yeah, every day. From here.

0:04:190:04:22

I often wondered what happened to him. Then I see his sign up there.

0:04:220:04:29

It's a small world. Yeah...or a big sign.

0:04:290:04:34

-They're just not feeding today.

-They will later. It's clouding up.

0:04:490:04:54

-They say the day you die, your name is written on a cloud.

-Who says?

0:04:540:04:59

-They.

-Never heard of them.

0:04:590:05:02

-Nothin' in that one but rain. We oughta go.

-Yes.

0:05:020:05:06

-Do you want to?

-No.

0:05:060:05:09

When I look at the sky, I think of all the places I've never been.

0:05:090:05:14

Yes, but they're all the same.

0:05:140:05:17

-You've been a lot of places, haven't you?

-One too many!

0:05:170:05:22

-Which did you like best?

-This one.

-Bet you say that everywhere.

0:05:220:05:27

See that cove over there? I'd like to build a house in it, marry you and stay there.

0:05:270:05:34

I wish you would.

0:05:340:05:37

-You weren't ever married before?

-Not that I can remember.

0:05:440:05:49

That's good. People talk about you - the mysterious Jeff Bailey.

0:05:490:05:58

My mother asks me where did you come from and what did you do?

0:05:580:06:05

My father was...

0:06:060:06:09

-We'd better go.

-Something wrong?

0:06:190:06:22

Maybe not.

0:06:220:06:24

Here...

0:06:270:06:29

You sure are a secret man.

0:06:330:06:36

Thanks.

0:06:380:06:40

-No...a man just wants to see me.

-Oh.

0:06:400:06:44

-Long time.

-Hello, Joe. I wish it was nicer to see you.

0:07:020:07:07

-Everyone's missed you, but not as much as I have.

-Oh?

0:07:070:07:12

-Whit wishes I had brains like you.

-What's the other reason?

0:07:120:07:16

I had to find you.

0:07:160:07:19

-I owe you or something?

-Not me.

-Who?

0:07:200:07:23

-How far can that kid read lips?

-I'll ask him sometime(!)

-This far?

0:07:230:07:29

-Don't like to make mistakes, eh?

-They don't let me.

0:07:290:07:33

All right, come on inside.

0:07:330:07:35

-Funny racket to find you in.

-Me and the kid laugh all the time!

0:07:400:07:45

I guess it's respectable. That hash-slinger says so, too.

0:07:450:07:50

-How did you happen to find me, Joe?

-Well, I was driving down the street and saw you pumping gasoline.

0:07:500:07:58

-Of course, there's a different name.

-Just dropped in?

-Why not?

0:07:580:08:03

OK, then I'm glad to see an old pal, too.

0:08:030:08:06

So, I take you to dinner, then you hop in your car and you're gone. Right?

0:08:060:08:12

-Almost.

-What else?

-I'm still working for that guy.

-Whit?

0:08:120:08:18

-He'd like to see you.

-As much as you did?

-Worse.

0:08:180:08:23

-I see.

-No-one ever thought more of you than Whit.

0:08:230:08:27

-Or more about me(!)

-Well, that could be true.

0:08:270:08:31

-All right, what does he want?

-Maybe he's got something for you.

0:08:310:08:36

-Try once more.

-Look, Whit never steered you into anything bad.

0:08:360:08:41

-Why, he never squawked when you blew the best thing he had.

-Go on.

0:08:410:08:46

The guy just wants to see you.

0:08:460:08:49

-Well, since you put it that way, OK.

-Know any other way to put it?

0:08:490:08:54

-Say tomorrow morning?

-Where?

0:08:560:08:59

Lake Tahoe. Turn right at the bay. Big house. You won't miss it.

0:08:590:09:04

You can't.

0:09:040:09:06

TOOTS HORN

0:09:130:09:17

< John, are you letting her out like this? Are you gonna stand for it?

0:09:260:09:33

< With a man who won't even come to the door?

0:09:330:09:37

Don't worry about them.

0:09:370:09:40

-Darling...

-It's no good, is it?

0:09:400:09:44

-It's just that they...

-Oh, honey, I know how they feel.

0:09:440:09:48

-Don't worry about it.

-I'm not.

-Then don't look so grim.

0:09:480:09:53

-No, it's something else.

-What?

0:09:530:09:56

-That guy who showed up today...

-Yes?

0:09:560:09:59

-Want to take a ride with me up to Lake Tahoe?

-Now?

-Yes, now.

0:09:590:10:04

-I want to tell you something.

-All right.

0:10:040:10:08

You told me once I'd have to tell you sometime.

0:10:080:10:11

Well...this is it.

0:10:110:10:15

Well, first of all, my name isn't Bailey. It's Markham.

0:10:270:10:33

Markham? Jeff Markham?

0:10:330:10:35

I should have told you before. I just kept putting it off, because I didn't like any of it.

0:10:350:10:43

-Please tell me, Jeff.

-It'll hurt you.

-It doesn't matter.

0:10:430:10:48

Well, our friend Markham lived in New York. He worked for a sort of stupid, oily gent called Fisher.

0:10:480:10:56

We called ourselves detectives.

0:10:560:11:00

That was about 3 years ago, maybe more.

0:11:000:11:03

Wintertime. One of the coldest days I remember.

0:11:030:11:08

-We got a call to see a big op...

-What?

-A big operator - a gambler.

0:11:080:11:14

He didn't come to see us, because he was too high-powered.

0:11:140:11:18

Also, because some dame had taken 4 shots at him with a .38,

0:11:180:11:22

and made one of them good.

0:11:220:11:25

He was taking it in stride, but his friend was a ball of fire.

0:11:280:11:32

Newspaper guys! Who are they kidding?

0:11:320:11:36

So, I shot the ace of spades out of his sleeve in a gin game(!)

0:11:360:11:41

A guy can't even get shot by a dame without the town buzzing like a...

0:11:410:11:46

Like you? Smoke a cigarette, Joe.

0:11:460:11:50

You just sit quiet. You wait for me to talk. I like that.

0:11:500:11:56

I never found out much listening to myself!

0:11:560:12:00

-Ahh...! It's amazing she missed me so often.

-Maybe you were moving.

0:12:010:12:07

A dame with a rod is lethal.

0:12:070:12:10

-What's he doing here?

-My partner.

0:12:100:12:14

-Should I ask why you didn't call the law?

-Should you?

0:12:160:12:20

I guess not. Anything happened to her?

0:12:200:12:24

-She's gone.

-With 40,000.

-I want her.

0:12:240:12:27

Or the money?

0:12:270:12:30

-I once bet on a horse that ran dead last. So, I bought...

-That's what I mean.

0:12:310:12:37

Oh, you're wrong. That horse is in a nice green pasture so he won't have any accidents.

0:12:370:12:44

You should visit it sometime.

0:12:440:12:47

No...I just want her back.

0:12:480:12:51

-When you see, you'll understand.

-Maybe she's just impulsive.

0:12:510:12:56

Shall we let it go at that?

0:12:560:12:59

I can let it all go.

0:12:590:13:02

Even 5,000 now and the same when you bring her back?

0:13:020:13:06

-And expenses.

-Now, that should have been the first thing you said.

0:13:060:13:12

-Find her, Jeff. Bring her back.

-Why me?

0:13:120:13:15

I know a lot of smart guys and a few honest ones. You're both.

0:13:150:13:21

What happens to her?

0:13:240:13:27

I won't touch her.

0:13:270:13:29

OK.

0:13:340:13:36

Get me some stuff on her. Family. Pictures.

0:13:370:13:41

-You'll get it.

-Bring it over. Come on, let's go.

0:13:410:13:45

Oh, by the way, d'you mind telling me her name?

0:13:460:13:51

..Kathie Moffatt.

0:13:510:13:54

Thanks.

0:13:540:13:56

She must be quite a dame... A wild goose with forty G's!

0:13:570:14:03

-For a smart guy that Sterling sure trusts you, don't he?

-Why not?

0:14:030:14:08

-Am I going along?

-No.

-Doesn't like my personality, huh?

0:14:080:14:13

-It's still fifty-fifty, Jeff.

-Did I say different?

-All right.

0:14:130:14:19

But don't get any cute ideas.

0:14:190:14:22

BIG BAND DANCE MUSIC

0:14:230:14:26

This is an old friend of mine, Jeff Markham. He wants to talk.

0:14:390:14:44

-Which one of you is Eunice Leonard?

-..Me.

0:14:440:14:48

May I ask you a few questions?

0:14:480:14:51

Come on, honey. Let's dance.

0:14:530:14:56

You work for Katherine Moffatt?

0:14:590:15:01

Not any more. She's gone.

0:15:010:15:04

I only stayed 'cos she got sick bein' vaccinated.

0:15:040:15:08

-Why?

-I want to find her.

0:15:080:15:10

-For that man?

-No, for myself. Where'd she go?

0:15:100:15:15

-I'm not sure...

-She may come to harm.

0:15:150:15:18

-Is she hurt?

-I don't know.

0:15:180:15:21

Maybe you'd better say. It's not much.

0:15:210:15:25

The clothes she took, she was looking for sun. Florida.

0:15:250:15:31

-Sure about that?

-Yeah, I'm sure.

0:15:310:15:35

-Trunk?

-Only suitcases.

0:15:350:15:38

-I weighed them for her.

-How much?

-131 pounds.

0:15:380:15:44

-Exactly?

-Exactly. That's what I weigh myself.

0:15:440:15:48

Thanks... Bring them another round.

0:15:480:15:51

You don't get vaccinated for Florida. You do for Mexico.

0:15:530:15:56

I followed that excess baggage to Mexico City.

0:15:560:16:00

She'd been at the Reforma and gone south.

0:16:000:16:03

It was hot in Taxco. You ask "How hot can it get?"

0:16:030:16:07

In Acapulco, you find out.

0:16:070:16:10

I knew she'd come here to get a boat.

0:16:110:16:15

All I had to do was wait.

0:16:150:16:17

Near the Plaza was a little cafe called La Mar Azul.

0:16:170:16:21

I sat there in the afternoons and drank beer.

0:16:210:16:26

I used to sit there half-asleep with the beer.

0:16:260:16:30

Only the music kept jarring me awake.

0:16:300:16:33

And then I saw her.

0:16:330:16:36

And I knew why he didn't care about that forty grand.

0:16:360:16:41

-Cuba Libre.

-Si, senorita.

0:16:410:16:44

COIN ROLLS ALONG FLOOR

0:16:560:17:00

Senorita. Senor. May I speak some words?

0:17:030:17:06

-You will be seated, Senor?

-With pleasure, Senor.

0:17:060:17:11

-I am Jose Rodriguez, a guide. A most excellent guide.

-Indeed?

0:17:110:17:17

You ask them. Jose Rodriguez knows Acapulco as no-one else. Each street...

0:17:170:17:23

-I don't want a guide.

-A difficult girl.

-They all are.

0:17:230:17:28

-Perhaps a lottery ticket?

-No.

0:17:280:17:31

I have here, wrought by skilled hands, a ring.

0:17:310:17:35

-And earrings of jade and pure silver.

-These.

0:17:350:17:39

Gracias, Senor. Gracias.

0:17:410:17:44

-I never wear them.

-Nor I. Please.

-No, thank you.

0:17:460:17:51

I haven't talked to anyone who hasn't tried to sell me something for 10 days.

0:17:510:17:57

If I don't talk, I think. And it's too late in life for that.

0:17:570:18:02

I could go and look at the sea like a good tourist,

0:18:020:18:07

but no-one says, "Nice view, huh?"

0:18:070:18:10

It's the same with the churches, the moonlight or a Cuba Libre.

0:18:100:18:14

-It's no good unless you share it.

-You should go home.

0:18:140:18:18

-Maybe that's why I'm here.

-Is it?

0:18:180:18:22

Well, there's always Jose Rodriguez.

0:18:230:18:26

There's also a cantina called Pablo's.

0:18:260:18:30

It's quiet. A man there plays American music for a dollar.

0:18:300:18:35

Sip bourbon and shut your eyes - it's like 56th Street.

0:18:350:18:39

-I'll wear my earrings.

-..I sometimes go there.

0:18:390:18:44

I went to wire Whit that I'd found her, but the telegraph office was closed.

0:18:550:19:01

I was glad it was and I suddenly knew why.

0:19:010:19:05

I went to Pablo's that night. I'd go every night until she showed up.

0:19:090:19:15

And I knew she knew it.

0:19:150:19:17

I drank bourbon and shut my eyes, but I didn't think of 56th Street.

0:19:190:19:25

I knew where I was and thought what a sucker I was.

0:19:250:19:30

I even knew she wouldn't come the first night.

0:19:300:19:34

And I sat there grinding it out.

0:19:340:19:37

SOULFUL VIOLIN PLAYS

0:19:370:19:41

But the next night I knew she'd show.

0:19:420:19:46

She waited until it was late.

0:19:460:19:49

But then she walked in out of the moonlight, smiling.

0:19:490:19:54

VIOLIN PLAYS LINGERING MELODY

0:20:010:20:05

-Ah, this is a coincidence.

-Yes, it is.

0:20:130:20:17

..American music.

0:20:170:20:20

-I've been here for two nights.

-Thinking?

-No, waiting.

0:20:200:20:24

I haven't been lonely. Bourbon...?

0:20:240:20:28

-As you suggest.

-Thank you, sir.

0:20:280:20:31

I've been waiting for the guy to break into Melancholy Baby!

0:20:310:20:37

You know, you're a curious man.

0:20:380:20:41

-You'd make every guy curious.

-That's not what I mean.

0:20:410:20:45

You don't ask questions. You don't even ask my name.

0:20:450:20:49

-All right, what's your name?

-Kathie.

0:20:490:20:54

-I like it.

-..Or where I come from?

0:20:540:20:58

I'm thinking about where we're going.

0:20:580:21:01

-Don't you like it?

-I'm restless.

0:21:010:21:04

-Shall I take you somewhere else?

-You can take me anywhere.

0:21:040:21:08

I'm a much better guide than Jose Rodriguez. Wanna try me?

0:21:080:21:13

Le jeux sont faits - rien ne vas plus.

0:21:180:21:21

-That isn't the way to win.

-Is there a way to win?

-You can lose more slowly.

0:21:210:21:28

-Le numero sept rouge.

-I prefer it like that.

0:21:280:21:32

-Chuck it in.

-Don't you gamble?

-Not against a wheel.

0:21:320:21:36

-Why are you so hard to please?

-Take me where I can tell you.

0:21:360:21:42

All right, come on.

0:21:420:21:45

Wait a minute.

0:21:550:21:58

When are you taking me back?

0:22:310:22:34

-Is that why you kissed me?

-No.

0:22:340:22:39

Whit didn't die.

0:22:390:22:41

-He didn't?!

-No.

0:22:410:22:44

-Then why...

-He just wants you back.

0:22:440:22:47

I HATE him.

0:22:470:22:50

-I'm sorry he didn't die.

-Give him time(!)

0:22:500:22:55

-But you are taking me back?

-There's no hurry.

0:22:550:23:00

I could have run away last night.

0:23:000:23:03

I'd find you.

0:23:030:23:06

Yes, I believe you would.

0:23:060:23:08

-Are you glad you did?

-I don't know.

0:23:080:23:13

I am.

0:23:150:23:17

-There was a little business about 40,000.

-I didn't take it!

0:23:170:23:22

How did you know it was taken?

0:23:220:23:25

It's what you meant. I don't want ANYTHING of his!

0:23:250:23:30

-Except his life.

-I didn't know what I was doing. I only knew how I hated him.

0:23:300:23:37

But I didn't take anything.

0:23:370:23:39

I DIDN'T, Jeff.

0:23:390:23:43

Won't you believe me?

0:23:440:23:47

Baby, I don't care!

0:23:470:23:50

I never saw her in the daytime. We lived by night.

0:23:560:24:00

The rest of the day went like a pack of cigarettes.

0:24:000:24:04

I didn't know where she lived. All I ever had was a place and time to see her again.

0:24:040:24:11

What were we waiting for? Maybe we thought it was a dream and we'd wake up with a hangover.

0:24:110:24:18

I wired Whit, but didn't tell him. I said, "Wish you were here."

0:24:180:24:22

And every night I went to meet her.

0:24:220:24:25

How did I know she'd ever show up? I didn't.

0:24:250:24:30

What stopped her taking a boat to Chile or Guatemala? Nothing.

0:24:300:24:35

How big a chump can you be? I found out.

0:24:350:24:38

And then she'd come along like school was out.

0:24:380:24:43

And everything else was a stone you sailed at the sea.

0:24:430:24:47

-You're so small.

-I'm taller than Napoleon.

-Prettier, too.

0:24:470:24:51

-Miss me?

-No more than I would my eyes. Where shall we go?

0:24:540:24:59

Let's go to my place.

0:24:590:25:02

It was the first time she had mentioned her place.

0:25:040:25:09

Maybe it was because the sky was full of rain.

0:25:090:25:13

It was a nice little joint with Mexican furniture and gimcracks.

0:25:260:25:31

The rain hammering on the window made it good to be in there.

0:25:310:25:37

Here...

0:25:370:25:39

Hey, hey, not so hard!

0:25:410:25:44

-ROMANTIC MELODY PLAYS

-Now yours.

-Oh, no, Jeff...

0:25:460:25:52

-Ohh...not so hard, Jeff.

-Hush! Gotta dry your hair.

0:25:520:25:56

HOWL OF WIND

0:26:000:26:03

-Are you going with me?

-Where?

0:26:180:26:21

-Wherever it takes us.

-Why?

-To make a life for ourselves.

0:26:210:26:25

To get away from Whit. He knows I'm here.

0:26:250:26:29

-..When?

-Tomorrow.

0:26:290:26:32

You can meet me at the hotel, if you can make it.

0:26:320:26:37

I can make it, but can we get away with it?

0:26:370:26:40

-Let's find out.

-He won't forget.

-Everybody forgets.

0:26:400:26:45

-Not Whit!

-So, we'll send him a postcard every Christmas.

0:26:450:26:49

I'm glad you're not afraid of him.

0:26:490:26:52

-I've been afraid of half the things I ever did.

-And now?

0:26:520:26:56

I'm only afraid you might not go.

0:26:560:26:59

Don't be.

0:26:590:27:02

I'll be there tomorrow.

0:27:020:27:05

-Love me?

-Uh-huh.

0:27:050:27:08

-Poco?

-What's that?

0:27:080:27:11

-A little.

-Mucho!

0:27:110:27:14

WHISTLING

0:27:180:27:21

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:27:270:27:30

-WHISTLING TRAILS OFF

-It's you.

0:27:340:27:38

-I don't like surprises myself. Wanna just shut the door?

-No, come in.

0:27:380:27:44

I like surprises. When I was a kid we were so busted that anything was a surprise.

0:27:440:27:51

-Sit down. Have a chair.

-Thanks.

-Been here long?

0:27:510:27:56

-How long, Joe?

-Just in.

0:27:560:28:00

I just wondered who might be following whom?

0:28:000:28:04

What makes you think that?

0:28:040:28:07

Look, you trust people about as far as you can throw Joe!

0:28:070:28:11

That's all right with me, but let's not get cute about it.

0:28:110:28:15

I'm on my way to Mexico City. To see a man about a horse.

0:28:150:28:20

On the level. A racehorse from South America.

0:28:200:28:24

-Checking out?

-Sure, why waste your money?

-Did you find her?

0:28:270:28:31

No. Only her trail.

0:28:310:28:34

Not quite as hot as a prairie fire, but there. A little too obvious.

0:28:340:28:39

-She's a clever little girl.

-Is she?

0:28:410:28:46

You should have told me, Whit. I'd have played it differently.

0:28:460:28:51

Maybe she heard my shoes squeak. Always a jump ahead of me.

0:28:510:28:56

-Mexico City to Taxco to here.

-Here? Did you see her?

-No.

0:28:560:29:01

I wish I had. I don't like playing games.

0:29:010:29:05

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:29:050:29:08

Thank you.

0:29:190:29:21

Gracias.

0:29:210:29:23

Nice shoes. Sporty for you, aren't they?

0:29:270:29:31

I got them here. I told you the others squeaked.

0:29:310:29:35

Let's go to the bar. You can cool off while we impress each other(!)

0:29:350:29:40

..Fine.

0:29:400:29:42

-Nice place. Like to stay here a while myself.

-You did, by proxy.

0:29:470:29:52

-Something cool.

-Make it two.

-Three.

0:30:020:30:06

-So you blew it?

-Anybody can have bad luck!

0:30:060:30:11

-And squeaky shoes.

-Cool it, Joe. ..Where were you off to?

0:30:110:30:16

Telegraph Office. To wire you. I told you, I don't like spending your money.

0:30:160:30:22

-I can stand it.

-Well, it's your business.

0:30:220:30:27

-Whit, my friend, there's a million dames out there look like her.

-No, they don't.

0:30:270:30:33

-So, she was here?

-Well, according to all available evidence she was.

0:30:350:30:40

-Maybe if I'd sent Joe. Could YOU find a dame in a million?

-The one with forty grand!

0:30:400:30:47

-Sorry!

-Picked up some nerves(?)

0:30:520:30:55

I don't need a crack like that, or your dough!

0:30:550:30:59

I missed her. The dame caught a boat south.

0:30:590:31:03

-Where?

-Look, I ate well before this job. If there's something you don't like you can say so!

0:31:030:31:10

-I just asked where?

-Chile...Guatemala...

0:31:100:31:14

-You want to go and see the guy in the steamship company?

-Why not?

0:31:140:31:20

-Taxi, sir?

-Yeah.

0:31:290:31:32

I'm sorry. You're feeling bad. I shouldn't have joked about it.

0:31:320:31:37

All right. You get your 5 grand back and Stefanos takes over.

0:31:370:31:43

Wrong! Nobody quits ME! You started this and you'll end it.

0:31:430:31:47

Besides, Joe couldn't find a prayer in the Bible!

0:31:470:31:53

You'll find her. Take it easy. Take your time.

0:31:530:31:57

Well, I better get back to the airport.

0:31:570:32:00

See you someday!

0:32:000:32:03

It wasn't all a lie, she did take a steamer, but it went north. I was on it, too.

0:32:090:32:15

I took an office in San Francisco. A cheap little rathole that suited the work I did.

0:32:150:32:23

Shabby jobs for whoever hired me.

0:32:230:32:26

It was the bottom of the barrel, but I didn't care. I had her.

0:32:260:32:32

We kept pretty much to ourselves, except for the movie house.

0:32:340:32:38

After a while, when we were more sure of ourselves, we went back to the familiar places.

0:32:380:32:45

Ball parks, race tracks. Why not? After all, there wasn't a chance in a million we'd bump into our past.

0:32:450:32:53

One chance in a million...

0:32:550:32:58

That was all that chump ever had, and he made good!

0:32:580:33:03

I knew if he ever saw her he'd sell us both for 1.95!

0:33:030:33:08

So, we had to separate.

0:33:090:33:12

I went alone to LA, making it easy for him to follow.

0:33:120:33:16

He was a good gum-shoe, though.

0:33:160:33:20

All this time I didn't write to her or phone or telegraph.

0:33:200:33:26

I just waited. And when it seemed right, I arranged to meet her.

0:33:260:33:31

I wasn't bad at the game myself, and was sure I'd shaken him.

0:33:310:33:35

Fisher was back there somewhere and I could see her again.

0:33:410:33:46

We took a cabin at Pyramid Creek. It was dark when I was getting there...

0:33:460:33:51

and then I saw her walking up the road in the headlights.

0:33:510:33:56

-You wanna a lift, babe?

-Well, I really hadn't ought.

0:34:000:34:05

-You're a cute little package to be out alone at night.

-You're cute yourself ANY night.

0:34:060:34:12

It was meeting her somewhere like the first times. There was something about her that got me.

0:34:170:34:24

I could hold her and laugh, because we were together again.

0:34:240:34:30

We'd played it smart and forgotten nothing.

0:34:300:34:34

-Except one thing...

-CAR DOOR

0:34:340:34:38

He had followed her.

0:34:430:34:46

Hello, Jeff.

0:34:460:34:49

Don't I get introduced(?)

0:34:570:35:00

I don't blame you, Jeff. Maybe I'd have lied my head off, too.

0:35:020:35:08

Your pictures don't do you justice, baby.

0:35:080:35:11

Why don't you break his head, Jeff!

0:35:110:35:13

Cute(!) From what I understand, Whit and her deserved each other.

0:35:130:35:18

-You working for him?

-Who else would find you?

-OK, what's the pitch?

0:35:180:35:24

You and I had a little deal, Jeff. Ten grand and expenses. Fifty-fifty. Remember?

0:35:240:35:31

-You did have a good memory.

-I didn't collect.

-Not the 10 grand.

0:35:310:35:36

-But, if you tell Whit where we are he might tip you a sawbuck.

-Jeff...

0:35:360:35:41

-He won't tell Whit anything.

-Sure not! Give me the 40 grand and we're pals.

0:35:410:35:48

-I might cut you in...

-There's no 40 grand!

0:35:480:35:51

Of course, Whit's broadminded. He don't care about a few slugs in the stomach.

0:35:510:35:58

Or Jeff falling down on the job.

0:35:580:36:01

-But you two ganging up together, he might not like that!

-Tell him, Kathie.

0:36:010:36:06

Sure I shot him. I'm not sorry about that. But I DIDN'T take his money.

0:36:060:36:13

-Beat it!

-Look at all the angles... You know how far Whit can reach. Just pay me off and I'm quiet.

0:36:130:36:21

But use cash. I don't want any pitch from this cheap piece of baggage!

0:36:210:36:27

I was hoping you'd do this...

0:36:270:36:29

GUNSHOT RINGS OUT

0:36:460:36:50

-You didn't have to KILL him!

-I did. You wouldn't have done.

0:37:060:37:11

-You'd have just hit him.

-Why...?

0:37:110:37:14

YOU wouldn't have killed him! He'd have gone to Whit.

0:37:140:37:20

CAR ENGINE STARTS

0:37:280:37:32

I buried him there. I wasn't sorry for him or sore at her.

0:37:550:38:00

I wasn't anything.

0:38:000:38:03

-Did you ever see her again?

-No.

0:38:030:38:06

Did you want to?

0:38:060:38:09

..No.

0:38:090:38:11

-I said it wasn't a nice story.

-Whatever happened is done!

0:38:200:38:25

-But you should have known long ago.

-It's all right. I understand.

0:38:250:38:30

-And it's all past.

-Maybe it isn't.

0:38:300:38:34

-What'll happen?

-I don't know. I don't know how much he knows.

0:38:340:38:39

-Don't go, Jeff!

-I'm tired running. I've got to clean this up some way.

0:38:390:38:44

-Just one thing, Ann. D'you want me to come back?

-Of course!

0:38:440:38:49

Put that in your pocket.

0:38:540:38:57

Look who's here!

0:39:290:39:32

-Hello, Markham. Glad to see you.

-I wondered if you missed me(!)

0:39:340:39:38

-Same guy...time-proof! Cigarette?

-I'm smoking.

0:39:380:39:43

-Thanks. Had breakfast?

-No.

-Joe, tell the boy we have a guest.

0:39:480:39:53

-I understand you run a gas station?

-Is it hard to understand?

0:39:530:39:57

-Well, yes.

-It's simple. I sell gas and make a profit.

0:39:570:40:01

It's called earning your living. You may have heard of it somewhere.

0:40:010:40:07

I may have. But it wasn't from YOU !

0:40:070:40:11

-I didn't mean to hurt any feelings.

-Feelings?! I haven't been able to find any.

0:40:110:40:17

-Where did you look?

-In my pocket-book!

0:40:170:40:21

-..Nice, isn't it?

-Must have set you back a few shillings.

0:40:210:40:26

-Always worrying about my expenses!

-Nice view. Am I here to admire it?

0:40:260:40:31

Not exactly.

0:40:310:40:34

-I need your help.

-Like old times.

0:40:340:40:37

-I always liked you.

-You liked me because I was smart. I'm not smart any more, I run a gas station!

0:40:370:40:44

-I like the view.

-Can you still listen?

-I can hear.

0:40:440:40:49

Well, my business is a little more precarious and I earn considerably more than you.

0:40:490:40:56

-So I heard.

-So has the Government!

0:40:560:40:59

-Well, you could pay them.

-That would be against my nature.

0:40:590:41:03

-Forget I said it.

-I met a man who understands these things.

0:41:030:41:09

He saved me some money - 1 million.

0:41:090:41:12

I didn't trust him, so I paid him well. But he's unhappy. He wants more.

0:41:120:41:18

-He saved you some.

-I appreciate it. I remember what a man did for me.

0:41:180:41:22

-Or didn't?

-Perhaps.

0:41:220:41:25

-Now he wants 200,000.

-He could get 10% of the million if he turned you in.

0:41:250:41:31

-Oh, you're up on this.

-Anything to trade?

0:41:310:41:35

The tax records. But why buy them when you might get them for me?

0:41:350:41:41

-Then I'd have them.

-Yes, but I trust you.

0:41:410:41:44

I don't think you can trust anyone. You'd better get them yourself.

0:41:440:41:49

-Pass.

-You don't like it?

-No, I've got my business to run.

0:41:490:41:55

Well...it's a nice view. Let's have some breakfast.

0:41:550:42:00

You remember Kathie, don't you?

0:42:050:42:08

..Yeah, I remember Kathie.

0:42:110:42:14

Sit down.

0:42:150:42:17

Kathie's back in the fold now.

0:42:170:42:20

-You're back in the fold, too.

-I see.

0:42:200:42:23

Jeff, you owe me. That is until you square yourself.

0:42:230:42:28

-Did you bare your heart, Kathie(?)

-I couldn't help it.

0:42:280:42:33

-Well, that settles things.

-Does it?

0:42:330:42:36

You're working for ME.

0:42:360:42:39

This man's name is Leonard Eels. But don't go to him directly.

0:42:390:42:43

He has a secretary whose name is Meta Carson.

0:42:430:42:47

She might even find you charming. I understand that women have.

0:42:470:42:53

She'll tell you how it's lined up.

0:42:530:42:56

-You know San Francisco(?)

-Yeah, I was there once on a party.

0:42:560:43:01

-You get around.

-That's right!

0:43:010:43:05

You'll get a train this afternoon.

0:43:050:43:08

-Right now I'd like to sleep.

-Joe will show you your room.

0:43:080:43:12

-And don't start worrying.

-..Why should I?

0:43:130:43:18

FRENCH WINDOWS OPENING

0:43:350:43:38

I HAD to come back. What else could I do?

0:43:390:43:42

You never can help it! You're like a leaf blown from gutter to gutter.

0:43:420:43:48

-You can't help anything you do. Even murder.

-You can't say that.

0:43:480:43:54

I can say that. I buried him!

0:43:540:43:56

What did you tell him? About us?

0:43:560:43:59

-But you couldn't help it, could you(?)

-He knew it!

-How much?

0:44:010:44:06

-What, Jeff?

-I mean about Fisher.

-No, I didn't tell him.

0:44:060:44:10

Don't lie to me!

0:44:100:44:13

I didn't...I wouldn't. I wouldn't tell anyone that!

0:44:130:44:17

-I swear it, Jeff. Believe me!

-Sure, I believe you(!)

0:44:170:44:21

I didn't know what to do. I was afraid of what I'd done. I couldn't live that way.

0:44:210:44:28

Oh, Jeff, I've missed you. Wondered about you. I prayed you'd understand.

0:44:280:44:34

-Can you?

-YOU prayed, Kathie?

0:44:340:44:37

-Can't you even feel sorry for me?

-I'm not going to try. Just get out! I have to sleep in this room.

0:44:370:44:45

Let's just leave it where it is. Get out!

0:44:470:44:52

-Meta Carson?

-Yes.

-My name is Bailey.

-Come in.

0:45:360:45:41

-I was expecting you.

-I wasn't expecting you!

0:45:430:45:47

-Is that a compliment?

-Whit told me you were charming.

-Oh?

0:45:470:45:51

-Gin and tonic?

-That would be nice.

0:45:510:45:53

-Or whisky if you'd like.

-That would be nicer.

0:45:530:45:57

Miserable weather we're having, isn't it?

0:46:000:46:03

-Are you acquainted with the city?

-We were quite intimate.

0:46:030:46:07

-Indeed?

-We lived together.

0:46:070:46:10

-It's a nice apartment.

-Yes, these old houses can be quite amusing.

0:46:100:46:16

I used to live in one in New York that was old. It wasn't amusing.

0:46:160:46:20

-I've never been there.

-That's one reason why I'm in San Francisco!

0:46:200:46:26

-Whit said you'd tell me the other.

-I'm afraid I don't quite understand you.

0:46:260:46:32

Well, maybe we should get to the point.

0:46:320:46:35

-You worried about something?

-I don't know. Should I be?

0:46:350:46:40

-Not if you do as you're told.

-That's why I'm here.

0:46:400:46:44

People trust me. Whit trusted me twice. Do you?

0:46:440:46:48

Just as far as I have to.

0:46:480:46:50

-Find your way to One-Fourteen Fulton Street.

-When?

-Tonight.

0:46:500:46:56

It's the apartment of Leonard Eels.

0:46:560:46:59

Call for me at eight. Look around. I CAN depend upon that.

0:46:590:47:04

In a day or so, he'll take some papers home. I'll let you know.

0:47:040:47:09

-Then you get them. He'll be away.

-Where will he be?

-With me.

0:47:090:47:14

-I'm his secretary.

-That sounds simple enough.

-It is.

0:47:140:47:18

-Like two and two make four.

-That's right.

0:47:180:47:22

Just remember, I'm coming out in one piece.

0:47:240:47:28

Do you always go round leaving fingerprints on a girl's shoulders?

0:47:280:47:33

Not that I mind. You've got nice strong hands.

0:47:330:47:38

-Jeff!

-Petey, how are you?

-Where've you been?

0:47:530:47:57

-I went down the line.

-Lookin' for me?

0:47:570:48:01

Come on, let's take a ride in your hack.

0:48:010:48:04

-You look like you're in trouble.

-Why?

0:48:070:48:11

'Cos you don't act like it!

0:48:110:48:13

I think I'm in a frame.

0:48:130:48:16

-Don't sound like you.

-I don't know. I'm going in there to look at the picture.

0:48:160:48:22

-I don't have to tell you to wait.

-No, you don't have to.

0:48:220:48:26

-My name is Bailey.

-Oh, yes. Miss Carson told me.

0:48:540:48:58

< Bring him out here, Leonard.

0:48:580:49:01

Thank you.

0:49:060:49:08

Hello, Jeffrey. I always wanted my favourite cousin to meet my boss.

0:49:080:49:14

-Martini?

-Meta says you're the ninth wonder of the world.

0:49:140:49:18

All women are wonders. They reduce all men to the obvious. So do Martinis! >

0:49:180:49:26

It's so nice here, I hate to go.

0:49:260:49:29

Don't then. Why not stay for dinner?

0:49:290:49:32

-Why not?

-We can't... We promised the Bigelows. Remember?

0:49:320:49:37

-Call them.

-No, I'm sorry, Leonard.

0:49:370:49:41

How long are you in town, Mr Bailey?

0:49:410:49:43

-I don't know.

-Here on business?

-You might call it that.

0:49:430:49:48

-Where are you from? The South?

-No...Tahoe.

0:49:480:49:52

-We MUST go, Jeff.

-All right.

0:49:520:49:55

Your...er...cousin is a charming young lady.

0:49:580:50:02

HE isn't! He's a bookmaker in Cleveland.

0:50:020:50:06

..Where did you say you were from?

0:50:070:50:09

Tahoe. Where we worry as much about the Income Tax as anybody.

0:50:090:50:14

..Frankly, you don't make sense.

0:50:140:50:17

Nor does my being her cousin. Or being brought here to leave fingerprints around.

0:50:170:50:24

Or maybe it's that I'm the patsy and you're on the spot.

0:50:240:50:29

-Coming, Jeff? >

-Right away!

0:50:290:50:31

I'll be back.

0:50:310:50:34

I'm glad you could come, both of you.

0:50:390:50:42

-You make a great Martini.

-Thank you.

0:50:420:50:45

Goodnight, Leonard. Goodnight.

0:50:450:50:48

For a man who appears to be clever, you can act the idiot!

0:50:530:50:57

That's one way to be clever!

0:50:570:51:00

-What did you say to him?

-I told him he made a great Martini.

0:51:010:51:06

-You are an idiot!

-So is he!

0:51:060:51:08

-You think so?

-He's in love with you.

0:51:080:51:11

Mason Building.

0:51:160:51:18

-Doesn't your conscience bother you crossing a nice guy?

-Maybe he isn't nice. He crosses people, too.

0:51:230:51:31

-Do I go along?

-No, go to your hotel and wait.

-Yes, Ma'am(!)

0:51:360:51:41

-Nice!

-Awfully cool around the heart. Let's go.

0:51:450:51:49

..Hold it! Drive round the block and stop here.

0:51:490:51:53

Follow her, Petey. Then wait for me at Eels' apartment house.

0:52:380:52:43

-I lost her.

-She's worth losing!

0:55:210:55:23

I jumped a signal and got stopped by a gabby cop.

0:55:230:55:28

Here...you finish it.

0:55:280:55:30

-Shall I pick up her hack?

-No.

-Where to?

-Telegraph Hill.

0:55:300:55:35

-D'you have some bad luck?

-Yeah, my timing was a bit late.

-Did you send your friend up there to find Eels dead?

-No!

-Tell me!

0:58:410:58:47

-TELL me...

-Don't, Jeff!

-Don't what?

0:58:480:58:50

-I don't want to die!

-Neither do I, baby.

0:58:500:58:54

They told you they were going to knock him off and they haven't!

0:58:540:58:58

They haven't, because I tipped him off.

0:58:580:59:02

-He's OK?

-Do you want him to be?

-Yes - they'll say you did it.

0:59:020:59:07

Oh, you're wonderful, Kathie(!) You can change sides so smoothly!

0:59:070:59:12

Stop, Jeff...you're hurting me!

0:59:120:59:15

I'm almost getting it. It's very pretty.

0:59:150:59:18

Whit wants Eels out of the way. And he wants to square with me. Two birds together.

0:59:180:59:25

I visit the chump. Have a drink. Leave my prints there.

0:59:250:59:29

I leave and somebody gets him.

0:59:290:59:32

And the tax papers...they were in the briefcase Meta took.

0:59:320:59:36

I'm the fall-guy.

0:59:360:59:39

There's only one thing missing. The plant.

0:59:390:59:43

What was the motive? I wouldn't kill for a Martini(!)

0:59:430:59:47

-They made me sign it!

-What?

-An affidavit.

0:59:470:59:51

I couldn't help it, Jeff. I swear I couldn't!

0:59:510:59:55

-They said they'd tell the police I killed him!

-Fisher?

0:59:550:59:59

-Then you did tell them about him. Only you said

-I

-killed him!

0:59:591:00:04

Foolproof. Whit can really hate, can't he? You said it once.

1:00:041:00:10

I NEVER stopped hating him, Jeff. I was caught, too!

1:00:101:00:15

-We don't have to be against each other!

-No?

-All we need is the briefcase.

1:00:151:00:21

-We can get anything from them.

-I'd like that affidavit you signed!

1:00:211:00:26

It's in Eels' office safe. We can make Meta get it.

1:00:261:00:30

-We can make them do anything!

-Sure!

1:00:301:00:33

-Oh, Jeff. You could have killed me for what I did.

-There's time.

1:00:331:00:37

No, you won't. I've never stopped loving you.

1:00:371:00:43

I was afraid, but I never stopped.

1:00:431:00:46

-Even if you hated me. Did you?

-Yes.

1:00:461:00:50

But you don't now?

1:00:501:00:52

..No.

1:00:531:00:55

We could be together again, in a way we never were.

1:00:551:01:00

We can go back to Acapulco and start all over again.

1:01:001:01:04

How do we get the briefcase?

1:01:111:01:14

Whit owns a club. The Sterling Club on North Beach.

1:01:141:01:18

Meta took it to a man called Baylord.

-It won't do any good, will it, Joe?

-Cut it, Lou!

1:05:441:05:49

Your move is to do some thinking. I've got the files that were in your briefcase.

1:05:491:05:55

They can be posted to the Treasury. Now, the theory is to save Whit from 10 years in the Federal Pen.

1:05:551:06:03

-Correct me if I make a mistake.

-We may do that!

1:06:031:06:07

Of course, the Government may just say to Whit, "Go on home we've got all the dough we need."

1:06:071:06:14

-Want a bet on that?

-How did you know I had the briefcase?

1:06:141:06:18

I...had Meta tailed.

1:06:191:06:23

-Sure about that?

-Look, all I have to be sure about are the files!

1:06:231:06:29

-Now, do you want to do business or play house?

-What's your idea?

1:06:291:06:35

You get the files and Eels' body, in case you want to keep it from the cops.

1:06:351:06:40

-What do you want?

-I want the affidavit that Meta put in Eels' safe.

1:06:401:06:46

A lie that somebody put on paper that I killed a guy called Fisher,

1:06:461:06:51

because you don't get the gas for being the undertaker!

1:06:511:06:55

Only four of us knew about that affidavit. Somebody talked.

1:06:551:07:01

-Did Meta tell you?

-No.

1:07:061:07:09

Sorry.

1:07:091:07:11

-Whit Sterling...

-No...!

1:07:131:07:17

He's right, Kathie. Oh, you've hurt her feelings, Lou. She's sensitive.

1:07:171:07:23

-I'm sensitive myself!

-Then you'll need Meta to unlock that safe.

1:07:231:07:29

-I hope she's around.

-Yeah.

1:07:291:07:31

Good. Then you can start right now.

1:07:311:07:34

1:17:051:17:10

Sure...sure.

1:17:111:17:14

I get a modest settlement. Say, oh...say fifty thousand?

1:17:141:17:18

To spend my waning years in Mazatlan.

1:17:181:17:22

Not Acapulco, because I'd think of you. Up in the women's prison in Tehachipi.

1:17:221:17:28

It won't be TOO bad. Plenty of sun.

1:17:281:17:31

..You make me nervous.

1:17:321:17:34

You'll be happier if you let the cops have her, Whit.

1:17:341:17:39

I'M not going to take the rap for Fisher!

1:17:391:17:43

-Wait a minute. I'm not framing any woman.

-When did you reform?

1:17:431:17:48

I wouldn't. You're out of shape.

1:17:481:17:51

-Besides, she shot him!

-He was going to kill you!

1:17:511:17:55

Self-defence. She might not even do time.

1:17:551:17:59

-I'll say it was you. They'll believe me!

-Do you, Whit?

1:17:591:18:02

-Go on, tell him about Joe.

-What about Joe?

1:18:041:18:09

He's in the East Walker River.

1:18:091:18:11

-I DIDN'T send him after Jeff. It was his own idea!

-..Did you kill him?

1:18:111:18:18

He slipped and fell. When I got there it was too late.

1:18:181:18:24

-He was trailing you?

-You don't go fishing with a .45!

1:18:241:18:28

Stop worrying. Fish him out. Stick a note in his pocket. Suicide.

1:18:281:18:34

Don't look so stricken, Whit. You'll get over it. I did.

1:18:341:18:40

Talk it out if you want, I'll wait in there.

1:18:401:18:44

Oh, Kathie, did it take much to make you say I killed Fisher?

1:18:441:18:49

Come on, feed my ego. Tell me he beat you. Dragged every word out of you.

1:18:491:18:56

-..Well, that's the way it is.

-You said you were going. Get out!

1:18:561:19:02

You dirty little phony!

1:19:181:19:21

Tell me about San Francisco. Tell me it was Joe's idea. Go on, squirm your way out of this.

1:19:211:19:28

-Listen...

-You took me for a sucker!

1:19:281:19:31

I took you back when you came whimpering. I should have kicked your teeth in!

1:19:311:19:38

No, I'm not going to. Not now, Kathie.

1:19:381:19:42

-We'll let the law push you around.

-You can't!

-You're wrong.

1:19:421:19:46

-You're going to take the rap. You're going to do as

-I

-tell you.

1:19:461:19:51

If you don't, I'll kill you. And I promise, it won't be quick!

1:19:511:19:57

You won't be able to answer a door without thinking this is it.

1:19:571:20:02

And when it comes, it still won't be quick. AND it won't be pretty!

1:20:021:20:08

You can take your choice.

1:20:091:20:12

Whit...!

1:20:121:20:14

-I have to go to Reno for the money. Where's the file?

-I'll mail it.

1:20:321:20:38

Look, I wouldn't cross you twice.

1:20:391:20:41

I want to be let alone. You'll get the file after I'm out of reach.

1:20:411:20:48

..If that's the way it has to be.

1:20:491:20:52

And find yourself a pilot who can keep his mouth shut.

1:20:521:20:55

Tell him to set his plane down in the desert at about dawn.

1:20:551:21:00

And cheer up, Kathie! You'll get out of it. You always have.

1:21:001:21:06

RUSTLE OF LEAVES

1:21:421:21:45

-They say you killed a man.

-Do you believe them?

1:21:511:21:55

-Not until you tell me.

-You believe everything I say?

1:21:551:21:59

-Everything you say to me I believe.

-I don't know why I do this...

1:21:591:22:04

Why do I let you into my stinking life?

1:22:041:22:08

I ought to slap you and send you home.

1:22:081:22:11

-You said you'd come back.

-Not like this.

1:22:111:22:14

-You didn't kill him, did you?

-No.

1:22:141:22:17

You know I had to come back.

1:22:171:22:20

-Take me with you, Jeff.

-I have to play this alone.

1:22:241:22:28

-You've seen her again?

-Yeah, I saw her.

1:22:281:22:32

-Was it the same?

-I saw her and it was nothing.

1:22:321:22:36

-She can't be all bad. No-one is.

-Well, she comes the closest!

1:22:361:22:42

-Will you see her again?

-Tonight.

1:22:421:22:45

Then look at her and look at yourself.

1:22:451:22:48

And be VERY sure that there isn't a little love left for her.

1:22:481:22:53

Then, when you find out, and you know it once and for all, send for me.

1:22:531:22:59

I don't have to find out. I know!

1:22:591:23:03

That's all I wanted to hear.

1:23:051:23:08

Maybe luck is like love. Go all the way and you find it.

1:23:081:23:12

-You do to keep it.

-..You better go.

1:23:121:23:15

-Did the kid do what I told him?

-They're following him south, all of them.

1:23:151:23:21

..I can't go.

1:23:221:23:25

-You can put that away.

-Oh, can I?

1:23:441:23:47

-I just want to tell you something.

-Tell it.

1:23:471:23:50

I WAS going to kill you.

1:23:501:23:53

-Who isn't (?)

-Or tell the cops.

1:23:531:23:56

I followed Ann tonight.

1:23:571:24:00

-What stopped you?

-Some things you said to her.

1:24:001:24:03

What were you going to tell me?

1:24:031:24:06

I grew up with her. I don't know if I'm good enough for her, but I know YOU aren't!

1:24:061:24:13

The difference is that she loves ME.

1:24:131:24:17

I don't know who you were, or what got you where you are, or where it's taking you...

1:24:171:24:24

but she's NOT going with it!

1:24:241:24:27

Say it to the law. Then, you can tell her how you did it!

1:24:271:24:33

You can't make deals with a dead man, Jeff.

1:25:171:25:21

No, you can't.

1:25:211:25:24

-Let's get out.

-Is there some place left to go?

-I think so.

1:25:291:25:33

YOU'RE running the show now.

1:25:331:25:36

Do you mind, Jeff?

1:25:391:25:41

Remember the mountains? We should have stayed there.

1:25:431:25:48

I'm trying to remember something else.

1:25:481:25:51

I never told you I was anything but what I am. You imagined it.

1:25:511:25:57

-That's why I left. Now, we're back to stay!

-Do I have a say about it?

1:25:571:26:02

Well, have you? Whit's dead. That bundle of papers is no good.

1:26:021:26:07

If Joe was here you could use him. But Joe's dead. And Eels and Fisher.

1:26:071:26:13

And what about this? Someone has to take the blame.

1:26:131:26:18

They've nothing on me. But I'd make a fine witness!

1:26:181:26:21

Don't you see, you've ONLY me to make deals with.

1:26:211:26:26

-Build my gallows high, baby.

-No...

1:26:261:26:30

No, we're starting all over. I want to go back to Mexico.

1:26:301:26:34

I want to sit in the moonlight and tell you all the things I never told you...

1:26:341:26:41

until you don't hate me... until you love again.

1:26:411:26:45

-They'll look for us until we die!

-I don't care, as long as we're together.

1:26:451:26:51

If you're thinking of anyone else, don't. It wouldn't work.

1:26:511:26:56

You're no good for anyone. You're no good and neither am I.

1:26:561:27:01

That's why we deserve each other.

1:27:011:27:03

Did he get the plane?

1:27:081:27:11

-Where is it?

-I'm running the show, don't forget.

-Where's the money?

1:27:111:27:16

-Upstairs.

-Better pack a couple of bags and get it.

1:27:161:27:21

-Put a few things in for me.

-I have.

1:27:221:27:26

-Thanks.

-Por nada!

1:28:141:28:16

Do you remember La Mar Azul?

1:28:161:28:20

-I remember you were a clumsy flirt.

-We owe it all to Jose Rodriguez!

1:28:201:28:26

..I wonder if he'll ever know what a bad guide he really was?

1:28:261:28:30

Jeff, we've been wrong a lot and unlucky a long time. I think we deserve a break.

1:28:301:28:37

-We deserve each other!

-GLASS SMASHES

1:28:391:28:43

Hurry, Jeff!

1:29:111:29:14

ENGINE SPLUTTERS

1:29:251:29:28

ENGINE CATCHES

1:29:311:29:34

You...double-crossing rat!

1:29:571:30:00

GUN GOES OFF

1:30:001:30:03

-CROWD MURMURING

-Sorry...

1:30:421:30:47

Too many people. Too much talk. Maybe that's why I like this town.

1:30:501:30:56

Here, three people are really a crowd.

1:30:561:30:59

Let's get in the car and get away.

1:31:001:31:03

-I won't talk to you, Ann. I just want to be with you.

-Thanks, Jim, but I can't!

1:31:031:31:09

YOU can tell me. You knew him better than I did.

1:31:191:31:23

Was he going away with her?

1:31:231:31:26

I HAVE to know!

1:31:261:31:29

Was he going away with HER?
