00:03:01Should you be drinking this early?
00:03:03Oh, I'm not drinking early. I'm drinking late.
00:03:06I'm still on last night's jack.
00:03:08I won't get started on today's drinking till three or four o'clock this afternoon.
00:03:18Check those. Where's Harry Tallman?
00:03:20Los Angeles. He arrived there last night.
00:03:22Call him.
00:03:23He'll be sleeping. He got there very late.
00:03:25Call him. Tell him I might have here for Wednesday's meeting.
00:03:27Hello, Dad.
00:03:31Sonny! I didn't know you were here.
00:03:33It's good to see you. You look fine.
00:03:35I feel fine.
00:03:35Great to see you. Why didn't you tell me he was here?
00:03:37We made a pact not to disturb you.
00:03:39Oh, well, how was Switzerland? Plenty of skiing?
00:03:42Jamaica.
00:03:42Oh, yeah, Jamaica. Water skiing, eh?
00:03:44Plenty of girls. Good time?
00:03:46It was fine.
00:03:46Yeah, I want to hear all about it.
00:03:48We'll have lunch. Can you make lunch?
00:03:49Yeah, of course.
00:03:49You're lunching with Sir Bernard today.
00:03:51Oh, yes. I can't dodge that.
00:03:54Well, dinner, perhaps.
00:03:55No, I'm making a speech at some trades fair. I can't dodge that, either.
00:03:58No, of course you can't, Dad. You couldn't dodge that.
00:04:00Oh, this is ridiculous. If only I'd known you were coming.
00:04:02Oh, look, it's my fault, Dad. I should have cabled you.
00:04:04You look tired, Dad. You've been overdoing it.
00:04:06Oh, not more than usual.
00:04:08Well, that'll be my private phone.
00:04:10Don't go away.
00:04:16Yes?
00:04:17He could see you for lunch on Saturday.
00:04:20Yeah. Could fit me in, could he?
00:04:25Sonny.
00:04:26Well, they should have some fun, too.
00:04:30Everyone should.
00:04:33Look, ask him to call me, will you?
00:05:06Well, what do you know about that?
00:05:08They tried to kill you, Dad.
00:05:11Someone tried to kill you.
00:05:27The picture was called High Sierra, and it starred Humphrey Bogart.
00:05:31James Cagney.
00:05:32It was Humphrey Bogart. I remember it perfectly.
00:05:35I took the girl next door to see it.
00:05:36We were having quite a torrid romance at the time.
00:05:39A torrid romance?
00:05:40Well, you weren't even ten years old when that picture came round for the second time.
00:05:44I advanced from puberty earlier than most.
00:05:46I know. Your brother warned me.
00:05:48I've had my moments.
00:05:50Moments?
00:05:50The way I heard it, you and the girl next door spent your entire youth in the back row of
00:05:54the cinema.
00:05:55Yes.
00:05:56And her name was Veronica, as in Lake.
00:05:59Beautiful.
00:06:02Arden, love you as I do.
00:06:04You are digressing deliberately, because when it comes to old movies, you are a complete slouch.
00:06:08Personal abuse does not alter the fact that I have an encyclopedic knowledge of the silver screen.
00:06:18It was James Cagney.
00:06:21It was Humphrey Bogart.
00:06:22Don't you remember?
00:06:23Bogey came in, curled his lip.
00:06:26Peter Lorre said,
00:06:28You despise me, don't you, Rick?
00:06:30And Bogey came back with,
00:06:32If I gave you any thought, I suppose I would.
00:06:35I'm sick of all you sleek-eyed slobs looking down your nose with your shiny shoes and your pocket handkerchiefs.
00:06:42That was good.
00:06:44Really, very good.
00:06:46Oh, and incidentally, you're both wrong.
00:06:47It was Bogart, but the movie was Casablanca.
00:06:49I don't believe we've met, Blue Eyes.
00:06:51I'm Arden Buckley.
00:06:53This is my wife, Susie.
00:06:54Hello, Susie.
00:06:55You don't mind if I call you Susie?
00:06:57Well, I'd mind much more if you call me George.
00:07:01What can I do for you?
00:07:03Hit him.
00:07:06Well, he didn't fall right down.
00:07:08I was just finding out how tough you really are, Mr. Buckley.
00:07:12Oh, that's all right then.
00:07:14But for a moment there, I was afraid you didn't like me.
00:07:19You see how they both fell right down?
00:07:22Does that mean I win?
00:07:24It means that you're hired.
00:07:26Not if it's divorce.
00:07:27We never handle divorce.
00:07:28My name is Henry Garrick.
00:07:30Most people call me Sonny.
00:07:32I have a very sweet disposition.
00:07:33Who's your friend?
00:07:35Oh, Breck.
00:07:36He's a sort of chauffeur, valet, guardian.
00:07:39My father gave him to me for my 13th birthday.
00:07:42Look, could I have a drink?
00:07:46Listen, you are very expensive.
00:07:50Well, we will be if you keep pouring scotch like that.
00:07:53I'd hate to employ anyone cheap.
00:07:55Oh, naturally.
00:07:56My father is David Garrick.
00:07:58You've heard of him, of course.
00:08:00The actor?
00:08:01Industrialist.
00:08:01Millionaire.
00:08:02Self-made millionaire.
00:08:04Don't forget the self-made.
00:08:05He likes that.
00:08:06Oh, he works very hard.
00:08:07Always has.
00:08:08Left these shores many years ago and went to Canada,
00:08:11where he acquired his first fortune under Canadian accent.
00:08:14Then he spent a large chunk of that fortune sending me to expensive schools that I'd lose the accent that
00:08:18he had acquired.
00:08:20Don't you think that's funny?
00:08:21No, not really.
00:08:22Well, I mean, it's just my story in reverse.
00:08:25I left America and found my fortune here.
00:08:27She's crazy about Irishmen.
00:08:29No, not all Irishmen.
00:08:31Just you.
00:08:33And Patrick.
00:08:34And Sean.
00:08:35And Cyril.
00:08:36So your father works very hard.
00:08:38What about you?
00:08:38Oh, I don't work very hard.
00:08:40In fact, not at all.
00:08:41Except water skiing, escorting the world's most beautiful women.
00:08:45Give me another couple of years, I'll be a fully-fledged alcoholic.
00:08:47Oh, another self-made man.
00:08:51I love my father.
00:08:53Did I tell you that?
00:08:55What do you want from us, Sonny?
00:08:57Really love him.
00:08:59Only this morning, someone tried to kill him.
00:09:03Find out who, Mr. Buckley.
00:09:05Find him for me.
00:09:07Does your father have any enemies?
00:09:09I have some.
00:09:10Any friends?
00:09:12I have some of those, too.
00:09:13Sonny, who are these people?
00:09:15What are they doing here?
00:09:15Susie and Arden Buckley, my father.
00:09:18Uh-huh.
00:09:18Dad, these people are going to find out who shot her, do you?
00:09:21Well, that is already taken care of.
00:09:22My corporation employs a security organization, and they're already working on it.
00:09:27Now, I'd like my chair, then, Sonny.
00:09:28I've got some calls to make.
00:09:30Look, Dad, these people are the best.
00:09:34Let me do this my way.
00:09:35It matters to me.
00:09:38All right, you're hired.
00:09:41Now, let me get on with my calls, Sonny.
00:09:42I'll talk to you later.
00:09:46Oh, they're pretty.
00:09:47What are they?
00:09:48They're dipsomaniacs.
00:10:00Where have you been?
00:10:01Pardon?
00:10:02The minute we left Garrix, you disappeared into thin air.
00:10:04I was about to start a suit for desertion.
00:10:06In the face of the enemy?
00:10:08I went to check out the building the shot came from.
00:10:10Hey, that's very good, Arden.
00:10:11What did you find?
00:10:12Well, there were 23 rooms that could have been used.
00:10:1422 of them were filled with workers at the time of the shot.
00:10:18And in the 23rd...
00:10:18You found a demented man whose business Garrix had ruined crouching over a smoking rifle babbling a confession.
00:10:25What we call in the trade a lucky break.
00:10:27I found nothing.
00:10:28The cupboard was bare.
00:10:30Bare's out my theory.
00:10:31When did you start having theories?
00:10:33This job has all the hallmarks of a professional.
00:10:36The fact that there are no hallmarks.
00:10:40Why are you looking like that?
00:10:41That's my oligarch with admiration, though.
00:10:43Don't you like it?
00:10:44No.
00:10:45What are you going to do next?
00:10:47Well, I also did some checking up on Garrix.
00:10:49There is a woman in his life.
00:10:51Oh, so there should be in everyone's.
00:10:53Even the women's?
00:10:56Now, this woman's called Leonora Gale.
00:10:58Garrix has been escorting her to public places for some time now.
00:11:02Escorting?
00:11:03Amongst other things.
00:11:04She's attractive, sophisticated, terribly sexy.
00:11:10I'm going to see her now.
00:11:11I'll get my coat.
00:11:11No, I'm going alone.
00:11:13Alone?
00:11:14Susie.
00:11:16Susie, don't you trust me?
00:11:17Of course.
00:11:18Of course I don't trust you.
00:11:20Good.
00:11:20We don't want our marriage to stagnate.
00:11:22A little competition keeps you up on your toes.
00:11:24Just so I don't become a prima ballerina.
00:11:27Oh, all right.
00:11:29And what does your intrepid partner do while you're with this gale woman?
00:11:33I said this looks like the work of a professional.
00:11:36Get hold of Charlie Wilson.
00:11:48Your concern is very moving, but I assure you there's nothing to worry about.
00:11:51There is everything to worry about.
00:11:54Dad, somebody tried to kill you, murder you.
00:11:57I don't like that.
00:11:58It scares me.
00:11:59Huh.
00:11:59Scares you?
00:12:01Well, you're all I've got, Dad.
00:12:04Almost.
00:12:05No, Dad.
00:12:06Just you.
00:12:07There's no one else.
00:12:12Well, it could have been an accident, a mistake.
00:12:15Does that occur to you?
00:12:16A mistake?
00:12:16How?
00:12:19Well, if somebody's cleaning a gun, it goes off.
00:12:21They panic.
00:12:23They run.
00:12:23Look, that shot got you right in the middle of the forehead, Dad.
00:12:26Except it happened to be your reflection.
00:12:28Yeah, well, an unhappy coincidence.
00:12:30Coincidence?
00:12:31You hear a sitting duck, somebody with a high-powered rifle and...
00:12:35What's wrong, Dad?
00:12:37Scotch.
00:12:37It smells kind of funny, isn't it?
00:12:50What are you doing?
00:12:58Coincidence, Dad?
00:13:05Come in.
00:13:09Come in, Charlie.
00:13:13Charlie Wilson.
00:13:19Come in, Charlie.
00:13:20We're quite alone.
00:13:40Mrs. Buckley, I don't like to stay here long.
00:13:43Can't take chances if I'm seen.
00:13:46Charlie, everybody knows you're an informer.
00:13:49Oh, no.
00:13:50No.
00:13:51They think I might be, but they don't know.
00:13:54There's a difference.
00:14:00Business, was it, Mrs. Buckley?
00:14:01Yes.
00:14:02I need to find a hired killer.
00:14:05Oh?
00:14:06You going to kill someone?
00:14:07No.
00:14:08But somebody else is, and I need to find out who.
00:14:10A new face in town.
00:14:12A whisper.
00:14:13Oh, hard to say.
00:14:14A good pro's hard to get.
00:14:15Expensive, too.
00:14:16But worth every penny they seldom miss.
00:14:18This one did.
00:14:19Well, we all have our off days, Mrs. Buckley.
00:14:21Well, you try and have a good one, Charlie.
00:14:25Now, they will be the same again
00:14:28when you come back with the information tonight.
00:14:31Tonight?
00:14:32Oh, that's an awful tall order, Mrs. Buckley.
00:14:35May take some time.
00:14:37And you're wasting it talking to me.
00:14:39Oh, wait.
00:15:00I hope you don't mind coming in here to talk,
00:15:03but the fact is, I am very busy.
00:15:06Do sit down.
00:15:08Well, lie down if you're tired.
00:15:12Well, Mr. um...
00:15:14Buckley.
00:15:15Arden Buckley.
00:15:16I'm a private detective.
00:15:18You can't be.
00:15:19Where's your dirty trench coat?
00:15:20It wasn't raining.
00:15:22All the detectives I've ever met
00:15:24wore dirty trench coats.
00:15:25You've met a lot of detectives.
00:15:27Darling, I've been divorced four times.
00:15:29Trench coats marching into bedrooms with cameras
00:15:32has become a way of life.
00:15:35Well?
00:15:37I'm a private detective.
00:15:40Oh, I see you right.
00:15:44What was it you wanted?
00:15:46You're a friend of David Garrick's.
00:15:49A friend?
00:15:49Oh, I like you.
00:15:50What a nice, quaint way of putting it.
00:15:53Somebody tried to murder him
00:15:54or hired somebody to murder him.
00:15:56I'm not surprised.
00:15:58Careful with the pins.
00:15:59There's a dear.
00:16:01Let's face it, darling,
00:16:02he's not the most lovable character
00:16:03one's ever met.
00:16:04I should think there are
00:16:05hundreds of people
00:16:06who'd like to kill him.
00:16:07Including you?
00:16:08Oh, you're the detective, darling.
00:16:12No.
00:16:13You were at the hairdressers
00:16:14when the shot was fired.
00:16:16You're not just a pretty face, are you?
00:16:19So I'm eliminated.
00:16:20So will he be
00:16:21if I don't pin down
00:16:22who really wants him dead.
00:16:23And I mean really
00:16:25with a strong motive.
00:16:27Hate's strong enough for you?
00:16:29Try his wife.
00:16:31Wife?
00:16:33But his son never mentioned.
00:16:36I just naturally assumed
00:16:37he was a widower.
00:16:38Oh, he'd like to be sometimes.
00:16:39I think she lives
00:16:41in the country house.
00:16:44Wife.
00:16:46Thanks for your help, Mrs. Gale.
00:16:49By the way,
00:16:50I think the dress
00:16:51is going to be a smash.
00:16:53Thank you, darling.
00:16:54I always think a girl
00:16:56should package the goods nicely.
00:16:59And call me Leonora.
00:17:00Or, as it's you,
00:17:02Lulu.
00:17:05Goodbye, Mrs. Gale.
00:17:10Why didn't you tell me
00:17:11you had a wife?
00:17:12Well, you knew I had a son.
00:17:14Anyway, it's no business of yours.
00:17:16I didn't hire you.
00:17:17No, but he did.
00:17:18So why did you hold out on me?
00:17:20I didn't hold out on you.
00:17:21You didn't ask.
00:17:22You didn't volunteer.
00:17:24After my stint in the army,
00:17:26I told him never
00:17:27to volunteer for anything.
00:17:28One of you might have told me.
00:17:31Well, I'll tell you one thing.
00:17:32My wife.
00:17:33She's a sick woman.
00:17:35She has nothing to do with this
00:17:37and you can stay away from her.
00:17:38I'm afraid it's too late for that.
00:18:10I'm afraid it's too late for her.
00:18:10I'm sorry.
00:18:17I'm afraid it's too late for her.
00:18:41Hello?
00:18:44Anybody home?
00:18:49Mrs Garrick?
00:18:54Mrs Garrick?
00:19:09Mrs Garrick?
00:19:19Mrs Garrick?
00:19:22Why Mrs Garrick?
00:19:27I'm Susie Buckley. I came to talk to you about your husband.
00:19:32Oh you are pretty.
00:19:37Prettier than the others that have come here isn't she Emma?
00:19:44Mrs Garrick?
00:19:45Your husband he's been...
00:19:47We've been married a long time.
00:19:49Very happily married. We're never apart.
00:19:52Even when he goes up road on business I always go with him.
00:19:58We don't like being apart.
00:20:03Mrs Garrick.
00:20:04We were married when I was very young I was a model.
00:20:10That's why he chose me.
00:20:12David always liked...
00:20:18Likes pretty things.
00:20:24I was prettier than you.
00:20:28I was prettier than any of them.
00:20:37You know.
00:20:39Those girls say he wants to divorce me.
00:20:42But it's not true.
00:20:43It's not true.
00:20:44It's not true.
00:20:45He's my husband.
00:20:46He loves me.
00:20:50You think he wants to marry you don't you?
00:20:53Oh yes you do.
00:20:53Oh yes you do.
00:20:54Oh yes.
00:20:54They all do.
00:20:56Do.
00:20:57All those...
00:20:58All those that come here.
00:21:01You think he loves...
00:21:02He loves them.
00:21:03He doesn't love them.
00:21:04He doesn't love them.
00:21:05He doesn't love anything.
00:21:06He doesn't even...
00:21:08Needs me.
00:21:14I have been ill.
00:21:16Oh no yes I have been...
00:21:19I have been rather ill.
00:21:22And I don't want David to see me until I'm better.
00:21:29Those girls.
00:21:33Those girls.
00:21:36Because I knew there would be girls.
00:21:39Because I knew there would be girls.
00:21:42He's very attractive.
00:21:46Let Sonny send you.
00:21:48Sonny.
00:21:49Sonny used to come and visit me.
00:21:50Sometimes.
00:21:51Not anymore.
00:21:52Not anymore.
00:21:56Sonny's like me.
00:21:59Sonny's like me.
00:22:00He's much more like me than like David.
00:22:05I'm...
00:22:05I'm very sorry to have troubled you Mrs. Garrick.
00:22:08I don't know who you are.
00:22:09But please don't come here again.
00:22:11You can whine and plead as much as you like.
00:22:12But I'm not going to give him a divorce.
00:22:14You can tell him from me that my answer to you is the same as to all the others.
00:22:17He is my husband and I'll see him.
00:22:25Goodbye.
00:22:25I...
00:22:26I have been so enjoying seeing, meeting.
00:22:31It's been most enjoyable.
00:22:33Most...
00:22:33Yes.
00:22:41What have you done to her?
00:22:44Oh my love.
00:22:46Yes.
00:22:47Yes.
00:22:49Yes.
00:22:49Yes.
00:22:51Yes.
00:22:52Yes.
00:22:52Yes.
00:22:58Yes.
00:22:58Have you been upsetting her?
00:22:59I don't know.
00:23:01Who are you?
00:23:02Mrs. Stanard.
00:23:03I take care of Mrs. Garrick.
00:23:06Who are you?
00:23:07What do you want?
00:23:08I'm Susie Buckley.
00:23:09I...
00:23:10I work for Mr. Garrick.
00:23:11Oh yes.
00:23:11They usually do.
00:23:13Secretary?
00:23:14Typist?
00:23:15Something like that?
00:23:16Nothing like that.
00:23:17Someone is trying to kill Mr. Garrick and my husband and I are trying to find out who.
00:23:21Somebody trying to...
00:23:40There's nothing she can tell you.
00:23:43I think you better go now.
00:23:44I'm going to take her home.
00:23:46Don't you live here?
00:23:47No.
00:23:48We live in the hunting lodge.
00:23:50She likes to come and sit here sometimes in the afternoon.
00:23:54Sit and remember.
00:23:56They used to live here when they were first married.
00:23:58She must love him a great deal.
00:24:01Love him?
00:24:03She despises him.
00:24:04She can't forgive him for all the...
00:24:07Yes?
00:24:10She hates him.
00:24:12Enough to kill him?
00:24:14Oh.
00:24:15She's like a child.
00:24:17Oh.
00:24:17What harm could she do?
00:24:20Yes.
00:24:21As you say.
00:24:28Hunting lodge.
00:24:30That was what you said, wasn't it?
00:24:31The hunting lodge.
00:24:33Yes.
00:24:34They'd keep guns there, wouldn't they?
00:24:58I know I can't persuade you to be careful, Mr. Garrick, but I do beg you to take this seriously.
00:25:02Nobody's going to touch me while Brett's around.
00:25:05Taste all your food and drink, will he?
00:25:06What does he do against a magnum point 303?
00:25:08Field it and send it flying back?
00:25:10Look, I know you're just trying to do your job.
00:25:12With precious little help.
00:25:14Well, I was upset.
00:25:15I was angry.
00:25:16I thought of somebody bothering my wife.
00:25:18Susie won't bother your wife, Mr. Garrick.
00:25:20She just wants to ask a few questions.
00:25:22Oh, she won't get any answers.
00:25:24None that make any sense.
00:25:27Yeah, well, what he means is that, um...
00:25:29My wife, well, uh...
00:25:33She's, uh...
00:25:33She's been under stress for some time.
00:25:35She doesn't always comprehend.
00:25:39Mr. Buckley, your wife, uh...
00:25:41Is the soul of tact and discretion.
00:25:44Yeah, but if she were to go barging in there impetuously...
00:25:46Impetuous?
00:25:47Let me tell you something, Mr. Garrick.
00:25:49Susie is hyper-cautious.
00:25:51On our wedding day, she didn't say, I do.
00:25:54She said, maybe.
00:25:58I offer you a lift, Mr. Buckley.
00:26:00Just to the nearest Calbrang.
00:26:01Sonny.
00:26:02Now I have my own car.
00:26:03I'll walk down with you.
00:26:41What?
00:26:44Well, yes, it was rather acting beyond instructions, but, um...
00:26:49Well, let us hope that you have scared Buckley off.
00:26:53Oh, by the way, I had a whisper about someone inquiring about you.
00:26:59Uh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:27:01Not, not you personally.
00:27:03Not by name, no.
00:27:04But, um...
00:27:06About somebody like you.
00:27:10Who?
00:27:11Oh, his name was Wilson.
00:27:14Charlie Wilson.
00:27:26He said he'd call later.
00:27:27Who?
00:27:28Charlie.
00:27:29Did you have a nice day?
00:27:31Splendid.
00:27:32Oh.
00:27:35What's the O for?
00:27:37Well, I can say O if I want.
00:27:38O, O, O.
00:27:40And was she attractive, sophisticated and terribly sexy?
00:27:44Eh?
00:27:45Mrs. Gale.
00:27:46Oh.
00:27:47Ha.
00:27:47There, you said it.
00:27:48Was she?
00:27:49Fantastic.
00:27:50I spent hours cavorting in her boudoir.
00:27:53You know you shouldn't cavort, dear.
00:27:55It's bad for your back.
00:27:56It was the hit-and-run driver who was bad for my back.
00:27:58I suppose she plied you a champagne, flooded her false eyelashes and...
00:28:03Hit-and-run driver?
00:28:05Well, partially true.
00:28:06He didn't hit.
00:28:07But he certainly run.
00:28:08You?
00:28:08Me.
00:28:09And Garrick.
00:28:10But mostly me.
00:28:11Darling, you could have been killed.
00:28:13I've made a will.
00:28:15Fifty percent of my parents.
00:28:16The other half to the old folks' home.
00:28:18And the dog I leave to you.
00:28:20We don't have a dog.
00:28:21My parents will buy you one.
00:28:23Out of their share.
00:28:24I see.
00:28:25What about Garrick's wife?
00:28:26Oh.
00:28:27Sad.
00:28:28Very disturbed.
00:28:30And with a heavy in tow.
00:28:32Who's he?
00:28:33It's a she.
00:28:34Just.
00:28:35They live in a hunting lodge full of guns.
00:28:37Mm-hmm.
00:28:39Hate to meet her alone on a dark night.
00:28:41I don't let you go out alone on dark nights.
00:28:43Shh.
00:28:44Shh.
00:28:45Shh.
00:28:46It's Charlie Wilson.
00:28:48I don't hear anything.
00:28:50Neither do I.
00:28:50Well then.
00:28:52Well, when you don't hear him, that's Charlie Wilson.
00:28:57You see?
00:28:59Come in, Charlie.
00:29:01Now we'll find out who done it.
00:29:05Come on, Charlie.
00:29:06Don't be shy.
00:29:06It's just Arden and me.
00:29:10Charlie?
00:29:12Charlie, did you find out what we wanted to...
00:29:15Charlie?
00:29:21Oh dear.
00:29:23As I feared, our friend has overstepped himself.
00:29:27Be kindly dial his number for me, my dear.
00:29:32You know, Samantha, this business has all the marks of a fiasco about it.
00:29:37I do so hate a fiasco.
00:29:39Can be painful and unprofitable.
00:29:48Hmm.
00:29:50Yes.
00:29:51Fiasco.
00:29:54I wonder where he's got to.
00:30:08No, no, not today, thank you.
00:30:10We have all the guns we need.
00:30:14I know this looks like a vacuum cleaner, but it's actually a .906 Howard, so one move
00:30:19and I'll blow you out of the ground.
00:30:22Uh, uh, latest issue, suction ray.
00:30:26I press this little button down here and it'll suck that gun right out of your hand.
00:30:30Uh, deadly poison gas dispenser?
00:30:43He finally got around to it.
00:30:47What are your plans for tonight?
00:30:50Oh, I had planned to meet a friend.
00:30:53A blonde, vivacious friend, name of Gare?
00:30:56I think that's my business.
00:30:58Not anymore, Dad.
00:31:00Mr. Buckley's brief is to look after you, Dad, and you are going to, aren't you?
00:31:04Hope so.
00:31:04Oh, don't hope.
00:31:05Be sure.
00:31:07Anyway, I'm off.
00:31:08And I feel much happier knowing that Mr. Buckley's gonna be around you, Dad.
00:31:12Oh, look, if you get tired, need someone to take over for a couple of hours.
00:31:15Oh, don't worry.
00:31:16The threat of flying bullets gives me incurable insomnia.
00:31:19Uh, would you like to check the seal on the bottle?
00:31:22Oh, don't worry.
00:31:23I had it already.
00:31:25Where are you taking Mrs. Gale tonight?
00:31:27Uh, Parsino's.
00:31:29Oh, good.
00:31:30I like Italian food.
00:31:31Cars ready when you are, sir.
00:31:33A couple of minutes, Brett.
00:31:34Yes, sir.
00:31:35Uh, Brett.
00:31:37How would you like an evening off?
00:31:41Sir?
00:31:47Tycoonery can go to your head.
00:32:12I bet she can keep a man waiting for hours and then get him making the apologies.
00:32:17Nice driving, by the way, Garrick.
00:32:19Why don't you sit down and make yourself comfortable while I mosey around the apartment and check it out.
00:32:23Look, Buckley, I'm beginning to enjoy my...
00:32:25No back chat from the servants.
00:32:28I'm the target tonight.
00:32:39Darling?
00:32:41Darling, I'm sorry I'm late, but...
00:32:45Hey, don't tell me the old goat can't make it and I've got you all to myself.
00:32:48Oh, Brett.
00:32:50Darling, I...
00:32:52David.
00:32:54It was a joke.
00:32:55I knew all along.
00:32:56It was...
00:32:57No, David, you can't take it back.
00:32:59It was a joke.
00:33:00Truly.
00:33:01It was a joke.
00:33:02What's going on?
00:33:03You.
00:33:04You set this up.
00:33:05What's happening?
00:33:06What's going on?
00:33:07I thought I was Brett.
00:33:08Good.
00:33:09It was a mistake, David.
00:33:11A silly mistake.
00:33:12Very.
00:33:14David.
00:33:15David.
00:33:17You.
00:33:18You.
00:33:19Oof.
00:33:20Now, listen.
00:33:21This is Gail.
00:33:22Ileonora, Lulu.
00:33:24Silly stupid.
00:33:24Listen to me.
00:33:25I don't...
00:33:26Oh.
00:33:28That's why we swapped places.
00:33:30That's why.
00:33:32I'd like to get something to eat.
00:33:37I'm hungry.
00:33:40Hungry?
00:33:41Well, even Grace Kelly had to eat sometime.
00:33:44Okay.
00:33:45Whoever he is, Mr. Garrick, he certainly knows your habits well.
00:33:49Yeah.
00:33:50Well, this is one habit I'm chucking.
00:33:52It's expensive and overrated.
00:33:56Here, you may need this for your next addict.
00:34:04I could kill him.
00:34:06I'd like to kill him.
00:34:07You'll have to put your name on the waiting list.
00:34:09David.
00:34:11Oh, no, no, no, no, please.
00:34:13You tell him.
00:34:14Tell him it was a mistake.
00:34:16It was that damned uniform.
00:34:18I've never been able to resist a uniform.
00:34:20No, please.
00:34:22Please, I beg you.
00:34:24Beg?
00:34:27You must be getting old, Lulu.
00:34:37Arden stayed at his club.
00:34:39That's it.
00:34:40Arden stayed at his club.
00:34:42He often does.
00:34:43He won't be coming home now.
00:34:44No.
00:34:46But he often does.
00:34:48And leave a girl like you all alone.
00:34:51A girl like you.
00:34:53But it's all sham and makeup.
00:34:55I look dreadful in the morning.
00:34:58Long time until the morning.
00:35:07Hello, sweetheart.
00:35:08Sorry I'm late.
00:35:09A day not without excitement.
00:35:12Susie, you look like a pig dressed for the table.
00:35:14It doesn't even go with your dress.
00:35:16It wasn't my idea.
00:35:17No?
00:35:17No, it was that man's.
00:35:19What man's?
00:35:19The one with the gun behind you.
00:35:22I'd like to introduce you, but I can't.
00:35:24You see, he was waiting for me when I came home.
00:35:26Wrong.
00:35:27Well, a girl can be wrong, can't she?
00:35:29It was you I was waiting for, Buckley.
00:35:31But now this has to include her, too.
00:35:33You're the hired gun.
00:35:35So you got my message?
00:35:36I don't.
00:35:37She'd be dead before you got halfway, too.
00:35:39I don't want to inhibit you, Arden,
00:35:40but wives let me a very hard to come by.
00:35:43He isn't gonna shoot.
00:35:44If he was, he'd have done it already.
00:35:45After all, he's a pro.
00:35:47Aren't you?
00:35:48That's right.
00:35:49I came to talk.
00:35:50We're both pros, aren't we?
00:35:51And I have a job to do.
00:35:54I could have killed you, Buckley.
00:35:55A while back with the car.
00:35:57I could have killed you.
00:35:59But I chose to frighten you, that's all.
00:36:01Why?
00:36:01Lay off.
00:36:02And let you kill Garrick the way you did Charlie Wilson.
00:36:05Someone was going to kill Charlie sooner or later.
00:36:07I think Charlie would have voted for later.
00:36:10And that's for Garrick.
00:36:11Well, isn't dead yet, is he?
00:36:14What's that supposed to mean?
00:36:15I'm good.
00:36:16The best.
00:36:18If I'd wanted to kill him, I would have done.
00:36:20But the contract...
00:36:22You fool!
00:36:23But he had a gun.
00:36:24He was talking about killing.
00:36:25He was talking about not killing.
00:36:27I want a priest.
00:36:28You want a doctor.
00:36:29No, I'm a pro.
00:36:30A priest.
00:36:31If there's time...
00:36:32Listen.
00:36:33There may not be time for a priest.
00:36:34Can you hear me?
00:36:35You can ease your soul with one thing.
00:36:37The name of the man who hired you.
00:36:40His name.
00:36:58Pardon Buckley.
00:37:00Good evening, sir.
00:37:03Rest yourself for a moment, Samantha, my dear.
00:37:07Shelby Grafton.
00:37:08Your friend told me your name.
00:37:10A friend, sir?
00:37:12Alas, in this declining world, I fear I am without friends.
00:37:15True friends.
00:37:16This one's true, all right.
00:37:18Tall, thin, dark.
00:37:20He has one vital distinguishing feature.
00:37:22He carries guns.
00:37:24And shoots them at people.
00:37:26I am confused, sir.
00:37:28You aren't confused.
00:37:30You are the broker.
00:37:32The middle man.
00:37:33The lout.
00:37:33Who does the hiring.
00:37:34I...
00:37:35I...
00:37:35I prefer brokers, sir.
00:37:37Somebody who wants a safe man.
00:37:38A driver.
00:37:39A killer.
00:37:40You organize it.
00:37:41Arrange the fee.
00:37:43And cream 30% off the top.
00:37:4640%.
00:37:46I'm not cheap, sir.
00:37:48Who are you acting for when you hired a man to kill David Garrick?
00:37:53My goodness, sir.
00:37:54You do have an inquiring mind.
00:37:55Now, before you contemplate using violence, let me hasten to assure you that I am a devout coward.
00:38:01I have an abhorrence of physical unpleasantness, particularly when practiced on my good self.
00:38:05Oh, we can avoid that.
00:38:07If you tell me who hired you.
00:38:10Oh, I have no idea, sir.
00:38:12You see, I employ so very many devious methods of receiving instructions and indeed payments that my clients remain totally
00:38:20unknown to me.
00:38:21That is the truth, sir.
00:38:23I swear it's the truth.
00:38:24How would you like a broken arm?
00:38:26Thank you, but I must decline.
00:38:31Yes.
00:38:32You probably are telling the truth.
00:38:35Otherwise you'd be blackmailing too.
00:38:38But of course.
00:38:40I am inordinately greedy.
00:38:43So you accept my word.
00:38:44Just.
00:38:45I appreciate that.
00:38:47A moment of trust between two men.
00:38:50A rare emotion I shall cherish.
00:38:53I do hope, sir, you won't be embarrassed if I say I like you.
00:38:57You do now, perhaps.
00:39:00But you won't.
00:39:01I detect a threat.
00:39:03You do indeed.
00:39:05I don't see how or why.
00:39:07I mean, we've been talking or theorizing, but you have no shred of positive proof at all.
00:39:15In other words, there's nothing you can pin on me, Buster.
00:39:19Isn't there?
00:39:21Oh, I forgot to mention our mutual friend.
00:39:23The one with the gun.
00:39:25He's dead.
00:39:26Dead?
00:39:27Exceptionally.
00:39:29All okay.
00:39:29And is locked into the boot of your car.
00:39:32The police?
00:39:33Have been informed.
00:39:35This is my wife Susie, by the way.
00:39:36Shelby Grafton.
00:39:37How do you know?
00:39:38I thought he'd feel happier taking his last rest among friends.
00:39:42Besides, he was bleeding all over my carpet.
00:39:44It's real Persian.
00:39:46Indeed, madam.
00:39:47You have taste.
00:39:50Oh.
00:39:51That's different.
00:39:53Hmm.
00:39:54Certainly beat the canvas.
00:39:58So nice meeting you.
00:40:00Awfully nice.
00:40:01Goodbye.
00:40:01Goodbye.
00:40:08We shall continue later in Buenos Aires, if we're lucky.
00:40:17Oh dear.
00:40:19It's going to be one of those days.
00:40:22Fiasco.
00:40:23Bye.
00:40:30Bye.
00:40:36Bye.
00:40:57Bye.
00:41:16You ought to be in bed, Mrs. Garrick.
00:41:23I had to come and make sure that everything was all right.
00:41:27David is bringing home some very important people to dinner tonight.
00:41:30And he...
00:41:31I still like everything to be right.
00:41:33I think you've made a mistake, Mrs. Garrick.
00:41:36Hmm?
00:41:37It's tomorrow night.
00:41:39The dinner...
00:41:42...is tomorrow night.
00:41:45Oh, yeah.
00:41:47Of course.
00:41:53You won't tell David, will you?
00:41:54He...
00:41:55He does so like to tease me.
00:41:58Yes, of course.
00:41:59It is tomorrow...
00:42:01And then we're going to the Bahamas on the second honeymoon.
00:42:05Yes.
00:42:06He...
00:42:06He...
00:42:06He does love me.
00:42:08That's why we're getting away.
00:42:09And you must come and get your beauty sleep.
00:42:12So that you should look especially pretty for him.
00:42:18Yes, he likes me.
00:42:20Yes.
00:42:22Yes, he...
00:42:23He...
00:42:23He always wants me when I'm pretty.
00:42:27You have a prospective victim.
00:42:29David Garrick.
00:42:30And a potential killer.
00:42:32His wife.
00:42:33Any number of girlfriends.
00:42:34Business rivals.
00:42:35Jealous husbands.
00:42:37I'm not sure about killer.
00:42:38Hmm?
00:42:39That man.
00:42:40The one who expired on our carpet.
00:42:41Hmm.
00:42:42He was talking about not killing.
00:42:44He did no such thing.
00:42:45He implied it then.
00:42:46Oh, that's not the same thing at all.
00:42:48I mean, you implied a little while ago that you were going to kiss me, but you haven't.
00:42:51So?
00:42:51So?
00:42:53What?
00:42:53Exactly.
00:42:54So what?
00:42:55I can live without your implied kissing Arden Buckley, and what's more...
00:43:05Of course, there's always Sonny.
00:43:07I do not want to kiss Sonny.
00:43:09As a suspect.
00:43:11Except that doesn't make sense.
00:43:12Why not?
00:43:13Well, he brought us in in the first place.
00:43:15And in the second place, I checked up.
00:43:17He has almost eight million dollars of his own.
00:43:20Hey, maybe I do want to kiss Sonny.
00:43:22And if his father died, the corporation would undoubtedly run down.
00:43:25It's very much a one-man business.
00:43:27So if Garrick were killed, Sonny would actually be worse off.
00:43:33It's a puzzle.
00:43:36Well...
00:43:38Hey, I've got an idea.
00:43:39What?
00:43:40Oh, just the same old one.
00:43:48Do you think I might be a kleptomaniac?
00:43:51What?
00:43:52Well, I have this irresistible desire to...
00:43:54Then you must fight it.
00:43:55You'll get arrested.
00:43:56Can they arrest you for it?
00:43:58Certainly.
00:43:58It's a criminal misdemeanor.
00:43:59Well, I shouldn't think it was anybody else's business.
00:44:01What, going around stealing things?
00:44:03Stealing?
00:44:03Who said anything about stealing?
00:44:04You did.
00:44:05You said kleptomaniac.
00:44:06Does that mean stealing?
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:09Must be the other maniac I'm thinking of.
00:44:12Hmm?
00:44:13Oh.
00:44:15Nymphomaniac.
00:44:16An irresistible desire for men.
00:44:19Well, perhaps only in the singular.
00:44:28That was awful.
00:44:31Am I losing my touch?
00:44:32Oh, no.
00:44:33Not you, silly.
00:44:34That man.
00:44:34The one with the gun.
00:44:36Did he try to kiss you?
00:44:37No, but he thought about it.
00:44:39You died happy then.
00:44:41Lucky I got back before the thought developed.
00:44:43I think he was a late developer.
00:44:46Anyway, after I fixed him the eggs...
00:44:48Eggs?
00:44:49What eggs?
00:44:50The six-minute ones.
00:44:52Oh, so you cooked him eggs.
00:44:53Yes.
00:44:54And toast.
00:44:54I mean, he did have a gun.
00:44:56Yes.
00:44:57We sat here.
00:44:58And the silence was very, very awkward.
00:45:01How long was he here then?
00:45:03Oh, he'd been here since about 4.30.
00:45:054.30?
00:45:06But I thought he'd just arrived.
00:45:07Oh.
00:45:08Does it matter?
00:45:09Of course it matters.
00:45:10Somebody took a shot at Garrick around 6.30 this evening.
00:45:13Did they?
00:45:13Well, me wearing Garrick's coat and hat.
00:45:16So, it couldn't have been your man while we were at Mrs. Gale's.
00:45:19What were you doing there?
00:45:21Impersonating Garrick.
00:45:22Oh, really?
00:45:24So, if that man was here, and someone was shooting there, there must be two men.
00:45:33Don't overtax your brain, dear.
00:45:34Two killers.
00:45:35Two hired guns.
00:45:37Or Brett.
00:45:38Who's Brett?
00:45:39The chauffeur.
00:45:40It's all off between Garrick and Mrs. Gale because of the chauffeur.
00:45:44What did he do?
00:45:45Try to run them over?
00:45:46The run around, sweetheart.
00:45:47The run around.
00:45:48I knew I didn't like that woman.
00:45:50You've never met her.
00:45:51Well, of course not.
00:45:52You don't think I'm gonna meet somebody I don't like, do you?
00:45:59Hello.
00:46:00Sonny?
00:46:01Arden Buckley.
00:46:02And Susie.
00:46:05Listen, how can I get in touch with Brett, your chauffeur?
00:46:09Well, he might, just might, be our man.
00:46:16Sir?
00:46:19First they give you the evening off, then they call you out again.
00:46:22Tomorrow's in the country.
00:46:49What the heck can he want before now?
00:47:02You're here, sir.
00:47:07You're in here.
00:47:10There's no sign of Brett.
00:47:12No sign at all?
00:47:13Nope.
00:47:13As soon as you call, I went round to his place.
00:47:14He hasn't been there all evening.
00:47:15So I sat and waited and it's now...
00:47:174.30.
00:47:19Right.
00:47:20Looks as though he isn't going to be back.
00:47:22You were right then.
00:47:23He's our man.
00:47:24I didn't say that.
00:47:25Not what you said.
00:47:26I said he might be.
00:47:27Yeah, but he's gone.
00:47:27He's disappeared.
00:47:28Couldn't he be on a late night party?
00:47:30Well, no.
00:47:31He's due in tomorrow, early.
00:47:32We all are.
00:47:33Get some sleep, Sonny.
00:47:34Oh, not me.
00:47:35I'm gonna sit outside Dad's place till morning.
00:47:39I don't take chances.
00:47:47Well, just a moment.
00:47:48I'll put you through.
00:47:50Yes?
00:47:50It's Sonny on the line, Mr. Garrick.
00:47:52He wants to speak to you urgently.
00:47:54Put him through.
00:47:57You're through.
00:48:15Mr. Garrick.
00:48:15No time.
00:48:16I have to see Sonny.
00:48:17He's up at the old house.
00:48:18But this just came through.
00:48:19Later.
00:48:19Later.
00:48:19He's in trouble of some kind.
00:48:38Oh, my God.
00:49:23Arden?
00:49:26Arden?
00:49:27Pass it for you.
00:49:28Oh, thanks.
00:49:30Ah.
00:49:31Arden, what is it?
00:49:32A man's entitled to his little secrets, isn't he?
00:49:35Hmm.
00:49:35Unless he's married to me.
00:49:37Ah, Susie.
00:49:42Hello.
00:49:42Buckley, you'd better come over here right away.
00:49:45Over where?
00:49:45Where are you?
00:49:46My father's office.
00:49:47He was called away just a while ago.
00:49:50Called away where?
00:49:51Who by?
00:49:51By home.
00:49:52By me.
00:49:54By you?
00:49:54But I don't understand.
00:49:55Neither do I.
00:49:56That's the point.
00:49:56He had this call from me saying I wanted to see him urgently.
00:49:59But I didn't call him, Buckley.
00:50:00It wasn't me.
00:50:01Right.
00:50:02I'll be right over.
00:50:04Garrick's urgent.
00:50:06Try and get the car out of the garage without denting it.
00:50:08That's unfair.
00:50:09I haven't dented the car all week.
00:50:12Shouldn't we call the police?
00:50:14No.
00:50:15Mr. Buckley is handling this.
00:50:16He'll know what to do.
00:50:23Outside and waiting and not a scratch on it.
00:50:26Those old car tires around the doors did the trick, eh?
00:50:29You only put them on to undermine my confidence.
00:50:31Before you undermined our car insurance.
00:50:34Right?
00:50:37Oh.
00:50:38You're putting on weight.
00:50:44I got this call.
00:50:45I thought it was Sonny.
00:50:46It sounded like Sonny.
00:50:47So I put it through to Mr. Garrick's office.
00:50:49And then a moment later he rushed out saying he had to see Sonny urgently.
00:50:53Alone.
00:50:53But I didn't call.
00:50:55It wasn't me.
00:50:55Where was he going, did he say?
00:50:57Yes, the country house.
00:50:58Where Mrs. Garrick lives?
00:50:59Yes.
00:51:00And what did they say?
00:51:01At the house.
00:51:03Well, you've tried phoning him, haven't you?
00:51:05You haven't?
00:51:07Phone them and keep phoning them until you get him.
00:51:09And when I do?
00:51:10If you do, tell him to get out of there.
00:51:12Tell him to run for his life.
00:51:13Understand?
00:51:20Oh, are you all right?
00:51:26I think it's broken.
00:51:27I'll get a doctor.
00:51:28No, look, there's no time.
00:51:29Look, get to my father.
00:51:29Don't let anything happen to him.
00:51:31Here, look, take my car keys.
00:51:33My car's...
00:51:33I've dropped them.
00:51:34Here we are.
00:51:35It's much faster.
00:51:35It'll get you there sooner.
00:51:36I've always wanted to drive one of these.
00:51:38Come on.
00:51:40Come on.
00:51:45Come on.
00:52:10He's got a long start on us.
00:52:12When you drove down there before, how long did it take?
00:52:14Oh, about five hours.
00:52:16What?
00:52:17You know I have no sense of direction.
00:52:20Well, how long would it take a moderately efficient homing pigeon?
00:52:24Sixty minutes.
00:52:26Let's hope Garrick is a nice, sedate driver.
00:52:40Keep on trying, Mrs. Turrell.
00:52:42I'm going for a doctor.
00:52:44A doctor?
00:52:46A doctor?
00:52:47A doctor?
00:53:14A doctor?
00:53:21Sonny?
00:53:34Dead. Stone cold dead.
00:53:37Dead.
00:53:46Stay here.
00:53:48Help will come soon.
00:53:49Oh, do the 5th Cavalry use this road often?
00:53:52That's an order.
00:53:54Root!
00:54:38I'll go.
00:54:51We need a ride.
00:54:53They are coming.
00:54:56What's up?
00:54:59We need a ride.
00:55:00Oh, we need a ride.
00:55:02This is what is what is really enjoyable to do.
00:55:03Don't be afraid.
00:55:04Mr. Ben, who's going for fun?
00:55:06What?
00:55:06I'm going for a ride.
00:55:25Mr. Garrick?
00:55:29Mr. Garrick?
00:55:42Oh, you gave me a fright. For a moment, there...
00:55:53You've been sabotaged.
00:55:55I beg your pardon?
00:55:56Cotton waste in the petrol line. Old army trick. Certain way of stopping an engine after a little while leave
00:56:01you stranded.
00:56:01Somebody wanted to stop Sonny.
00:56:03Sorry?
00:56:05So am I. To have put you to all this trouble.
00:56:08No trouble.
00:56:09Actually, I have a very good working knowledge of cars. I could have probably fixed it myself except for one
00:56:14small thing.
00:56:14Oh, what's that?
00:56:15I don't know how to open the hood.
00:56:17I'm glad about that.
00:56:19Would you mind?
00:56:33What are you doing here? Where's Sonny?
00:56:36Sonny denies making that call, Mr. Garrick.
00:56:38But it was him. I'm sure it was.
00:56:40It was whoever wants to kill you. They wanted you down here alone.
00:56:44Whoever?
00:56:45Your wife lives in the lodge nearby, doesn't she?
00:56:47Yeah.
00:56:50Pardon.
00:56:51Listen, I want you out of sight and undercover, Mr. Garrick.
00:56:54Don't be ridiculous. I'm gonna see this thing through at the end with you.
00:56:56Oh, dear. I can see I'm gonna have trouble with you.
00:56:58I'm prepared to see this thing through and...
00:57:01Sorry about this, Mr. Garrick.
00:57:04I just don't have the time.
00:57:30Like in the morning, come back up.
00:57:30Come back up.
00:57:44Come back up, Mr. Garrick.
00:57:47Come back up, Mr. Garrick.
00:57:48Come back up.
00:57:55Arden.
00:57:59Arden!
00:58:09Arden!
00:58:14It's a foul up all round.
00:58:16Arden!
00:58:17Pity.
00:58:18You! You! You!
00:58:20I didn't want it this way. Believe me it wasn't planned this way.
00:58:23A car was supposed to break down. I was supposed to be here before.
00:58:25You should all have been over by now.
00:58:28Even the ankle was planned.
00:58:30You have to be in good condition to fake a fall like that.
00:58:34I didn't want to kill him.
00:58:37But you did! You did!
00:58:41You hired someone to kill your own father!
00:58:44No!
00:58:45No I hired him to miss my father.
00:58:48I get to kill him.
00:58:50But all the other business it muddles up the issue don't you think?
00:58:52It takes all the blame off me.
00:58:55I shall have to kill you too. I didn't plan that.
00:58:59I don't care.
00:59:01It was going to be so nice too.
00:59:03Neat!
00:59:04A switch of plan that would have worked.
00:59:06I went to be so much trouble getting Brett here too.
00:59:09Wasted.
00:59:11It was going to look as though Dad killed Brett out of jealousy then himself.
00:59:15Dad.
00:59:17Arden must have hidden him away somewhere.
00:59:20He must be here. He couldn't have got away. I was watching.
00:59:22He must be here somewhere.
00:59:28Sonny?
00:59:30Yes Dad.
00:59:41But why?
00:59:44I've given you everything.
00:59:46Given and taken Dad.
00:59:49You've got to be stopped once and for all.
00:59:52Stopped?
00:59:53Look at me Dad.
00:59:55Look at me!
00:59:56Are you proud of what you see?
00:59:59A drunkard, a waster and no good?
01:00:02Well you should be proud Dad.
01:00:03Because you made me.
01:00:06You've had every chance.
01:00:07Oh yes.
01:00:08Yes I've started businesses.
01:00:10Things I wanted to do.
01:00:12Things I might even have been good at.
01:00:13And what happened Dad?
01:00:14You made sure that your friends were my customers.
01:00:18They didn't want me Dad.
01:00:19They just wanted to keep in with you.
01:00:23I wanted to help.
01:00:24No Dad.
01:00:26You wanted me beholden to you.
01:00:28You wanted to shape destinies.
01:00:31To play God.
01:00:32You wanted to stay king.
01:00:35Well you've had a long reign Dad and now you've got to be stopped
01:00:37before you destroy me the way you destroyed Mother.
01:00:39You gave her everything didn't you?
01:00:41You shaped her destiny.
01:00:44I can't ever be anything while you're still alive Dad.
01:00:47Your shadows got too big.
01:00:49Too dark.
01:00:56Be a success at this Sonny.
01:01:00You see I don't believe you can even do this right.
01:01:04I didn't make you a failure Sonny.
01:01:05Sonny you always were.
01:01:06It's in your nature.
01:01:08You'll prove me wrong.
01:01:10Shoot me.
01:01:11No.
01:01:12Now don't worry Mrs. Buckley.
01:01:14He doesn't have the guts do you Sonny?
01:01:17You've had everything.
01:01:19Education, opportunity.
01:01:20Yes you've even had love.
01:01:23And there's just one basic vital factor missing.
01:01:26That that turns a boy into a man.
01:01:30Go ahead Sonny.
01:01:33Kill me.
01:01:38Oh no.
01:01:42He was going to do it.
01:01:45He was going to kill me.
01:01:47Why not?
01:01:47He killed Brett.
01:01:48And he killed me.
01:01:49I hit you.
01:01:51Three times at least I hit you.
01:01:53How did you do it?
01:01:55Bulletproof vest.
01:02:00I haven't actually bought it.
01:02:01I've just had it sent on approval.
01:02:03Hmm.
01:02:04Well I approve.
01:02:05I certainly do approve.
01:02:07But what made you put it on at that particular moment?
01:02:10I mean which clue was it?
01:02:12Did Sonny betray himself in some subtle way?
01:02:16You sensed you were walking into danger.
01:02:20Instinct.
01:02:21Hunch.
01:02:22The mark of the true professional.
01:02:24It was none of those things.
01:02:25Well what was it then?
01:02:27Well you know me.
01:02:28When I get something new I just can't resist it.
01:02:30I have to put it on immediately.
01:02:31Oh Arden you flabbergast me.
01:02:35That seems like a good idea.
01:02:47Well I thought...
01:03:13before never it would be made.
