00:00Hey, Jerome, Los Angeles Tribune.
00:01That's John Reed.
00:02We're engaged.
00:03I am a legitimate law-abiding television producer.
00:06The con man's conning himself.
00:08The couch is all yours.
00:09Make sure you stay on it.
00:11Better lock your door.
00:12What's she doing here?
00:13Didn't John tell you I'm going to be working with him?
00:15I don't believe he did.
00:17Immigration!
00:18I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten everything I taught you.
00:21I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
00:23Get back here!
00:25I've never had this in my parting years.
00:59I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:29I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:30I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:51I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:54I'm with the Drug Enforcement Agency.
01:58Mexico City, now porting at gate 4.
02:01CCA representative, please need good luck.
02:13Oh!
02:52I'm a medical courier and I've got serum for a critical patient at St. John's.
02:55There's no St. John's in this room.
02:57I'm in St. Mary's.
02:58There's no St. Mary's either.
03:00Oh, I'm in St. Teresa's.
03:02St. Teresa's coming up. Hang on to your socks.
03:04Okay.
03:21Mr. Pardon.
03:22Sid Velez.
03:23Pardon.
03:23Oh, hey, but, uh, uh, uh, Mr.
03:27Mr.
03:28Mr.
03:28Mr.
03:50The conclusions.
03:51This is that TV show that helps people fight their landlords and things like that.
03:56You seen it?
03:57It's a real bore.
03:59I'm the producer.
04:01It's too bad.
04:11Okay, you go around the back and wait for me, and I'll double that.
04:14You got it.
04:16There she is, there she is.
04:36For almost 10 years, Mr. DeMarco has come here every day to open his vegetable stand.
04:44That is, until last week, when the bank came to repossess his car.
04:50All right, let's cut it right there.
04:51Uh, Bill, the, uh, the man lost his car, not his firstborn, all right?
04:56Why don't we try it again this time?
04:58A little less tragically.
05:00All right, let's roll.
05:02All right, let's roll.
05:03For almost 10 years, Mr. DeMarco has come clearly in.
05:07Sorry, I'm okay.
05:08I'm okay.
05:09Bye-bye.
05:10Bye-bye.
05:24Bye-bye.
05:27Bye-bye.
05:31Bye-bye.
05:33Bye-bye.
05:37Watch her.
05:38Watch her.
05:46Look, my dear man, how do you feel about a fast ride to the bus station?
05:49I don't know what you're trying to do, lady, but I sure like the way you pay for it.
06:03No probleme.
06:04Amigos, I got the license number.
06:07No probleme, no probleme.
06:10There better be no probleme.
06:15Wait, wait, I got one.
06:16From a guy in Huntington Beach.
06:18He says, aliens are using my satellite dish as an intergalactic communications relay.
06:24I like it, let's do it.
06:25Bert, you're out of your mind.
06:26Oh, will someone please explain the television facts of life to him?
06:30And Ritsky, the heartwarming human interest stuff is just not cutting it.
06:33Then we'll just have to do it better, Bert, because I am not turning this program over
06:36to alien hitchhikers and celebrity ghosts.
06:41Juanito, if Solutions does not start getting better numbers, old man Thayer is not just
06:45going to cancel the show, he's going to sell the station, and then everybody's out on their
06:49La Bombas, station manager included.
06:51That's nonsense, Mr. Luna, that he has no intention of selling the station, and he continues
06:57to maintain the strongest confidence in John.
07:03Hey, don't you think we're going a little overboard here?
07:06All we got to do is ask him, maybe slip him a piece of change.
07:10Man, I'm sorry.
07:22They're foreigners.
07:24What I want to know is where you took the lady you picked up behind the market tonight.
07:28Boss station?
07:30She bought a ticket for San Diego.
07:32The bus couldn't have left her any more than 15 minutes ago.
07:36Thanks, buddy.
07:37Take off.
07:40Okay, now this is good, because what I can do is charter your plane, and you and the boys
07:45can be in San Diego before the bus arrives.
07:50We'll do it.
07:52Good, sir.
08:05Good night.
08:07Good night.
08:13Good night.
08:14Good night.
08:22Hello, Jenny Jerome, Los Angeles Tribune.
08:46May I help you?
08:48Oh, yes, please.
08:50I'm Jenny Jerome with the Los Angeles Tribune.
08:53Oh, hi.
08:54Hi.
08:54And our Sunday section is doing a piece on consumer-oriented shows,
08:58and my friend Anna Stringer suggested I give solutions a lot.
09:01Indeed, you should.
09:02I'm Natalie Fair.
09:04Hello, Natalie.
09:04Hello.
09:05They're in a meeting now, but I'm certain that they'll want to talk with you.
09:08Who's the man on the end?
09:09That's John Reed, the producer.
09:13Gentlemen, this is Jenny Jerome.
09:15Hello of the Los Angeles Tribune.
09:18She wants to do a story.
09:19How do you do?
09:19Nice to meet you.
09:20Good to meet you, too.
09:21I love everything you've ever written.
09:23Good to meet you.
09:24William Bauer, the host and main spring of solutions.
09:28Listen, why don't we go someplace private?
09:32Do you know anyone at the networks?
09:33That's all right, Bill.
09:34I think it is time that I took on some of the publicity chores.
09:37Well, good to have met you.
09:38Nice meeting you, too.
09:39So long.
09:39Hi.
09:40Very good.
09:43Professionalism.
09:44I love that in the producer.
09:52What the hell are you doing here?
09:55Great outfit.
09:56What'd you do, mug of stockbroker?
09:57How did you find me?
09:58I wasn't looking for you.
09:58Then what are you doing here?
09:59Have you lost weight?
10:00I've run every morning.
10:01You never got out of bed before noon.
10:03Well, I do now.
10:04Why?
10:05No reason to stay there?
10:07Mr. Reed.
10:08Yes?
10:08Hey, listen.
10:09Listen, I got a great problem for your show.
10:11Well, do me a favor and write us a letter, okay?
10:13Thanks a lot for coming.
10:14Well, see, it's not really my problem.
10:17Okay, what's the scam?
10:18Who's the mark?
10:19What's the payoff?
10:19There's no scam.
10:20There's no mark.
10:21I am a legitimate, law-abiding television producer whose payoff is a paycheck, which comes every
10:26week with my name on it.
10:27Whose name?
10:28Oh, look who's talking.
10:30Jenny Jerome.
10:31If it was good enough for Winston Churchill's mother, it's good enough for me.
10:35But John Reed.
10:37I mean, that rings a bell, but I can't remember where I've heard it.
10:40Don't let it worry you.
10:41I'll think of it.
10:42Think of it somewhere else, huh?
10:44Like Beirut?
10:46Give us a kiss.
10:47I want you out of here now.
10:50Why don't you get work, huh?
10:52What, are you still here?
10:52You on vacation or what?
10:54No, my name is Marty Samora.
10:55I work in this industrial laundry.
10:56All right, Marty.
10:57We do all this stuff for Vista Verde.
10:58I understand.
10:59We haven't found this in today's pickup.
11:01I haven't got time.
11:02I'm going to meet you to go to you.
11:02Whoa, whoa, whoa.
11:02That looks interesting.
11:05Oh, my goodness.
11:06Dear William Bauer, Care of Solutions.
11:09Dear Mr. Bauer.
11:11I'm writing to you in utter desperation.
11:13I'm being held prisoner at the Vista Verde Psychiatric Hospital in room 237.
11:19I am not insane.
11:21Please, please help me, Evelyn Weiss Howard.
11:23The potato chip heiress?
11:24Oh, dear, poor Evelyn.
11:26Do you know her?
11:27Oh, yes.
11:28Is she insane?
11:28Oh, yes.
11:29Yeah, maybe she got better.
11:30You seem very interested in this.
11:33I am.
11:34You know, I was thinking of writing an entirely separate piece on Solutions.
11:39No.
11:39I think that this would be the perfect story to follow from start to finish.
11:44Oh, no, no.
11:45What are we doing here?
11:45This is not the kind of thing we should be involved in.
11:47This is exactly the kind of thing we should be involved in.
11:49This is exactly what we need.
11:52Solutions, freeze, poor little rich girl for life of torment.
11:55I mean, this is great.
11:56The old man will love it.
11:57I love it.
11:58I love it.
11:58I love it.
11:59I love it.
12:00We're doing it.
12:00And, Miss Jerome, if there is anything that you need, you just let me know, and I'll get it.
12:07I got it.
12:13And I know you won't let him cheap in Solutions.
12:33Oh, I almost forgot to tell you.
12:36Evelyn Howard committed herself.
12:48Well, if it isn't honest, John Reed.
12:52Damn it, Dinah.
12:56What's the matter?
12:57Don't you check your back seats anymore?
12:59Look, I don't have to check the back seats anymore or sleep with six passports underneath my pillow or change
13:05my name every other Tuesday.
13:06Now, I'll ask you one more time, why are you in Santa Ana?
13:10Because this is where my plane landed.
13:12How are you, John?
13:14Ah, good evening, folks.
13:16I was in Bogota, and I stumbled over this jerk drug dealer named Pavone, and he just looked like he
13:23deserved to be taken, so I sold him the Marie Antoinette diamond.
13:27You're still selling the Antoinette?
13:28Uh-huh.
13:28Those earrings were overexposed years ago.
13:30In Europe, not in South America.
13:32It's a whole new market.
13:33So what happened?
13:34Well, Pavone gave them to his girlfriend, and before she could open the box, she yelled,
13:39Hubert Zucconi, and...
13:40I knew it.
13:41Cheap copies.
13:42You always skimped on the props.
13:43No.
13:44No, they were gorgeous.
13:45Copies.
13:46Fingers Kogan made him.
13:49Fingers Kogan?
13:50Yeah.
13:50Really?
13:51Uh-huh.
13:52Well, how is he, old thief?
13:54He's great.
13:56He's living in New Orleans.
13:58If you're ahead of baby...
14:00Oh, that's work.
14:01Uh-huh.
14:01No, you're not gonna do this.
14:03You're not gonna take me down memory lane.
14:05Good night.
14:05Adios.
14:06So long.
14:07Goodbye.
14:07Good night.
14:08Pavone is here in Santa Ana.
14:10Oh, please.
14:11All I'm asking is a place to stay till he moves on.
14:13Then I'll leave.
14:14I swear it.
14:15Riley.
14:19He's gonna kill me.
14:22The name is Reed.
14:25Get in the car.
14:34Where are the real earrings?
14:37Clever.
14:45Natalie decorated the house, didn't she?
14:47How do you know that?
14:48It's so beige.
14:49I like beige.
14:51Oh.
14:52Okay.
14:54It's your turn now to play a little show and tell.
14:56Carl, why are you in Santa Ana, huh?
15:00I live here.
15:01Yeah, I got that part.
15:02It's the why that I'm really having trouble with.
15:04Well, you do remember the last time we saw each other, don't you?
15:07Of course I remember the last time we saw each other.
15:09Well, any good con man should realize when it's time to fold up the table and put the shelves back
15:14in the pocket.
15:15That little fiasco in Monte Carlo told me loud and clear, time is up.
15:18Okay.
15:19It wasn't the most brilliant con that we've ever pulled.
15:22But a 30-year mortgage?
15:24An office job?
15:25A Barbie doll joins a country club girlfriend?
15:27I mean, aren't you overreacting a little bit?
15:29The mortgage is fixed.
15:30The job is satisfying.
15:31And Natalie is an honest woman with whom I enjoy a mature relationship.
15:37Do you know what I think we've got here?
15:38A new version of the old shell game.
15:41And the con man's conning himself.
15:44The couch is all yours.
15:46Make sure you stay on it.
15:53Better lock your door.
16:14This is all there is.
16:14The lady was never on the bus.
16:45Where are we going?
16:46We.
16:46What do you mean, we?
16:48Well, I can't stay in the house.
16:49I'm covering your solution.
16:51That's my jacket.
16:52Well, you don't want me to show up at work in the same old clothes, do you?
16:57Besides, it was either this or a beige cocktail dress that Natalie had hanging in the closet.
17:04Natalie's, I hope.
17:11There's my blue assistant.
17:13Station manager's brother.
17:14Hi.
17:19You ready for this, Richard?
17:21Hey, John, I was born ready.
17:23It's about time you gave me something important to do.
17:25Believe me, Richard, you were Bert Luna's suggestion.
17:28So, how are we going to play this one?
17:30We're brothers.
17:31You're looking for a place to commit me.
17:32While we're touring the hospital, you find the doctor keeping busy while I check out Evelyn Howard.
17:36You got that?
17:37Piece of cake.
17:39Oh, let's go.
17:48Oh, let's go.
18:21You sure you know what you're doing?
18:22What are you kidding?
18:24Good luck.
18:42And the chandeliers, I'm sure you've noticed, are genuine crystal, hundreds of years old.
18:47Really?
18:47They look older, actually.
18:48Yes.
18:49You know, it's a very interesting thing.
18:50We found that therapeutically, they give off very beneficial vibrations.
18:54I can understand you.
18:55It's unexplained.
18:56And of course, we have flowers at least twice a day.
18:59That's very nice.
18:59Now, let me show you in here one of our sitting rooms, the lounges.
19:02Really one of my favorite rooms here at Vista Verde.
19:06So the patients would come here and sit and lounge?
19:10Oh, yes.
19:11Out here is the veranda.
19:15That's very nice.
19:15And of the evening, we'll throw a log in the fire.
19:18We're all gathered.
19:20Now, Johnny.
19:21Johnny, give that back to the doctor.
19:22No, no, no.
19:23Give that back to the doctor.
19:23It's all right.
19:24It's all right.
19:25It makes him feel secure.
19:27Shall we look at the rooms now?
19:29Sure.
19:30Come on, Johnny.
19:33Come on, Johnny.
19:35Come on, Johnny.
19:36Come with us.
19:37Johnny, would you come with us?
19:39Johnny, come with us.
19:40Johnny.
19:41Now, now, now.
19:41Why don't we just let Johnny stay here?
19:44Now, you'd like that, wouldn't you, Johnny?
19:46Fine.
19:47We won't be long.
19:48It'll be fine.
19:49Yeah.
19:50Yeah, that's a good idea, Doc.
19:52We'll let Johnny stay here.
19:56It'll be fine.
20:29Very nice.
20:31Very nice.
21:02This is Howard.
21:08This is Howard.
21:13Evelyn.
21:19My name is John Reed. I'm from Solutions.
21:24You can take me out of here.
21:25Well, no, no. This is an unofficial visit.
21:31Let's see if I'm crazy, right?
21:33Well, Mrs. Howard, you did commit yourself.
21:38No, I didn't.
21:41Did I?
21:44Oh, please. I signed a lot of papers. I didn't read them. That doesn't make me crazy. It just makes
21:50me stupid.
21:54If you lie down over here by the bed, they won't be able to see you from the door.
22:04First, um, let me explain this sleepwalking act that I do.
22:10Look, I have to do that, because if I don't, they're going to find out I'm not taking the pills.
22:14They'll come after me with their needles again.
22:18Second, they told me that I had disappeared and that I'd ended up for the entire month of February and
22:25that I'd ended up on a beach in Cabo San Lucas and that I tried to drown myself.
22:31Look, I swear to you, I never tried to kill myself. I don't even know where Cabo San Lucas is.
22:36Who do you think is responsible?
22:38All of them. That's why I had to write to you. All of them. They all did this to me.
22:43Don't you think I know how paranoid that sounds?
22:47Please, tell me what to say to make you believe me. Please.
22:54What the?
22:56Hey, Ira!
22:57Well, I know how concerned you must be, but the Red Shirt will receive the finest care with us.
23:02Would you excuse me just a moment? I've got to take care of something.
23:05Certainly, doctor.
23:30Do you mean to tell me that you just left him in there?
23:33Well, what's the big deal? He'll just tell them who he is and then they'll...
23:36But that'll blow the cost.
23:38That'll blow the investigation.
23:41It's not my fault.
23:43Look, just go get in the car.
23:46I'll stay there.
23:51Well then, Johnny.
23:52Johnny, how did you get in that room, hmm?
24:00What were you doing there?
24:13Yes, what is it?
24:14I don't want to see anyone.
24:17I don't want to see anyone.
24:17All right.
24:17All right.
24:20Watch him. I'll be right back.
24:31Dr. Morrissey.
24:32Yes.
24:33Alice Longworth, FBI.
24:34We've got a tip that there's been a bomb planted in your hospital.
24:37It's set to go off in 22 minutes.
24:39I want everybody out of here.
24:40Now, just a minute.
24:41I don't have a minute.
24:42Do you know what you're asking?
24:43Doctor, I am not asking.
24:45Of course not.
24:45Government people never do.
24:46You just charge around here as if you had a mandate from...
24:48You've got exactly 21 minutes.
24:50These bomb things are almost always hoaxes,
24:52and I am not evacuating a mental hospital without some concrete proof.
24:56This is no hoax.
24:59Look, I don't have the authority to tell you this.
25:04One of your patients is not a patient.
25:07We're hiding him here under the witness protection plan,
25:09and we know that organized crime wants this man dead.
25:14Which patient is it?
25:16I'm going to have to ask one of my special agents, Dad.
25:18Oh, boy.
25:24That was the FBI.
25:25We have got a bomb in the building.
25:27Hellman, take our little visitor outside and stay with him.
25:30Bentley, you're with me and the violent lord.
25:32Let's go, pal.
25:44Oh.
25:45Oh, thank goodness you've found him.
25:47Hello.
25:48I'm Dr. Pankhurst from Sister Therese's.
25:52Don't touch him.
25:53Huh?
25:53Don't touch him.
25:54This man's a typhoid guy.
25:55He hasn't kissed anyone, has he?
25:58Hey, hey!
25:59Johnny, don't be so...
26:00No, Johnny.
26:02Do you remember when we had to put you in restraint?
26:06I'm going to do that again.
26:07I'm going to do that again.
26:08Come along.
26:09This way.
26:10We did it.
26:11I really thought they were going to have us back there.
26:13Jenny, pull the car over there, will you?
26:22All right.
26:23Out of the car.
26:28Dickie, here's 50 bucks.
26:30I want you to go back to the station.
26:31I want you to go directly to personnel and check on your accumulated vacation time.
26:35And I want you to take advantage of that vacation time and go lie on a beach, a far away
26:40beach,
26:40and think deeply and at great length about leaving me back there in that hospital.
26:45Can you do that?
26:47Sure.
26:49Yeah, I can do that.
27:04Well, I'm glad to see you haven't forgotten everything I taught you.
27:08You taught me?
27:08And since I'm risking my life hiding you from your screw-up, it seems the least you can do is
27:12earn your keep.
27:13You need help.
27:14I think Evelyn Howard is sane and should be rescued.
27:16You need help.
27:16And since I now find myself without any backup...
27:18You need help.
27:19I do need help, but it is not an excuse for you to put your name on the mailbox.
27:23The microsecond that you cool off, you're out of here.
27:32Are you sure that Evelyn's husband and attorney are going to be at this benefit tonight?
27:36Yes.
27:37Have I ever let you down?
27:38Are you getting me to come to think of it? I don't think you have.
27:43Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late.
27:45I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long.
27:48What's she doing here?
27:49Didn't John tell you I'm going to be working with you now?
27:53No, I don't believe he did.
27:54It's a temporary arrangement.
28:14It's a temporary arrangement.
28:23Did John tell you what we're doing here?
28:26In order to help Evelyn, we have to find the missing link in the human chain that keeps your luck.
28:33What's wrong?
28:39I have exactly the same dress.
28:41You do?
28:43You do?
29:11Mmm.
29:11How did you know that?
29:13Hmm?
29:14The drink.
29:15How did you know the drink?
29:16Um, excuse me, darling.
29:18I have a phone call to make.
29:24John?
29:28Now, who could he possibly be calling?
29:30Oh, he's calling Dr. Morrissey.
29:32I'm afraid something's come up at the hospital.
29:34He's going to have to leave.
29:35But he's one of the people that you want to observe.
29:37Oh, we already met.
29:39You're coming out.
29:40Well, you couldn't possibly suspect him of anything unethical anyway.
29:43After all, he plays golf with Daddy.
29:46Ah.
29:48Shall we circulate?
29:49Yeah.
30:00That's Philip Dressler, Evelyn's lawyer and executor.
30:04I want to talk to you.
30:06My office hours are from 10 until 4.
30:09Either I talk to you now or I'll take my company's legal business somewhere else.
30:12Be my guest.
30:14Only you may have trouble finding a lawyer smart enough to keep you out of San Quentin.
30:19Watch your mouth.
30:21Take your hand off me.
30:23Please.
30:27Where's my point?
30:33I can't imagine how that man got in here.
30:35He's not even wearing black tie.
30:39There's Nigel.
30:40Who's Nigel?
30:42Evelyn's husband.
30:43Darling.
30:4435 black, 35 black.
30:47Don't tell me that he's on your list of conspirators.
30:49Well.
30:50Oh, John.
30:51I'm sorry, but you're completely off the mark here.
30:54Nigel Howard is gallant and charming and absolutely distraught over Evelyn's condition.
30:59Now, I really must say hello to him.
31:04He gave up in earldom to become an American citizen.
31:12And if you believe that...
31:14I've got a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying.
31:21Nigel?
31:23How are you?
31:24Not very well, actually.
31:27I understand.
31:30She doesn't even recognize me now.
31:33Did you know that?
31:36It's absolutely breaking my heart.
31:39I, uh...
31:40I don't think I can talk about it now.
31:44Of course.
31:45I'm sorry.
31:55What a dear man he is.
32:20I'm sorry.
32:26Would you like to dance?
32:27Yes.
32:28I would.
32:38Sir?
32:39Would you like to dance with me?
32:41Yes.
32:43Thanks.
32:49here we go so who's the mark the weak link
32:55well it can't be more see now we put him on guard
32:59dresser too hard-boiled that leaves nigel you're leaving i am i like strong women
33:12uh so we go for the soft spot in the frame up the alleged trip to cabo san luke i
33:18think
33:18i'm going to scream so sorry later you know where to find me thank you very much you play bridge
33:27no
33:28oh
33:29oh
33:29oh
33:35oh
33:45what
33:47us
34:00Give it away, Sean!
34:28Good morning. What happened to you last night?
34:31Brought your dress back.
34:32Thank you. It smells like garlic.
34:35That's because the two of us spent the night in the hotel pantry hiding from Pavone.
34:39It was his hotel.
34:41You couldn't get out till now?
34:42What did you want me to do, bring all the boys back here with me?
34:45Forget it. Listen, Nigel is leaving his racquet club in about 15 minutes.
34:49We gotta get started. I figure we catch him with little Dodgem cars and nail him with a Sicilian squeeze.
34:53Would you hold on? I came here to tell you that I'm leaving.
34:57You're leaving?
34:59Well, I figure I already saved you once.
35:01You can't leave.
35:02I have to leave. They must have got to San Diego before the bus.
35:06I've gotta get someplace before they do.
35:08Wait a minute here. So you're in a bit of a tight spot. Okay.
35:10But does that mean that you can just walk away and leave Evelyn Howard buried alive?
35:17Hmm?
35:20Come on.
35:21Now, the partner I remember couldn't do that.
35:24The partner I remember nearly got us killed smuggling a child out of East Berlin in a magician's trunk.
35:30Now, don't you think that Evelyn Howard deserves that same compassion?
35:33They're trying to con me. You haven't changed a bit.
35:37You wouldn't recognize sincerity if it was staring you in the face.
35:40Now, you're gonna stay here and finish this, and then I am going to save you.
35:45I bet you haven't had this much fun in years.
35:55What are you doing? It's my car!
35:58Come back here!
36:01Is that man stealing your car?
36:03I... I...
36:04Well, get in. Come on, get in.
36:05Just jet in the car.
36:07Okay?
36:14You hoodlum! That's a precision machine!
36:18Not a coal lorry!
36:19If you so much as bruise a tire!
36:23Right.
36:24You hoodlum!
36:52He's captured himself.
37:18He's captured himself.
37:29Do we have your attention, Mr. Howard?
37:31Yes, yes.
37:32Between the 5th and 9th of February of this year, a woman answering your wife's description incurred a debt of
37:38$200,000 at a casino near Cabo San Lucas.
37:41We're here on behalf of our employers to collect on that debt.
37:45A woman answering my wife's description.
37:47She used fake identification.
37:50Well, then how did you know it was Mrs. Howard?
37:52Trenuous research.
37:54My wife is in a mental institution.
37:57Yeah, we confirmed that.
37:59That was you.
38:03But she was not in the institution when the debt was incurred.
38:06Look.
38:09Look.
38:10This is utterly absurd.
38:13My wife has not been of sound mind for some time now, and I certainly don't feel that I should
38:17be held responsible for something that she may have done while under this frightful condition.
38:21I'm afraid that our employers don't see it, did we?
38:25But we thought you might.
38:26Which is why we arranged this little demonstration?
38:28You're ours, Mr. Howard.
38:29Anytime we want you.
38:30And if you are not at our hotel at 3 o'clock with either the money or proof that the
38:36gambler was not your wife...
38:37Then the next time, it won't be your car, we take for a ride.
38:44Are you going to ab-scam her?
38:46We can't, not unless you want to end up testifying in court.
38:49They never let me show the tapes on the air anyway.
38:51Which means that we have to get witnesses other than ourselves, which means that we have to go to the...
38:59The police.
38:59Police.
39:04I must go to Bogota later today. I'll be back in two or three days.
39:08When I return, you'll have the woman in hand, yes?
39:12Yes. Absolutely yes.
39:14And if you don't...
39:16You'll kill me?
39:18No.
39:20I'll kill your wife and your children.
39:25Put this in the flowers.
39:28Have you got something on Judge Gebhardt?
39:31I can't believe he issued a court order for this stunt.
39:34Well, the judge and our station owner go way back.
39:43What happens if Nigel just pays the money?
39:46And Evelyn is crazy and we've lost.
39:48That used to mean we'd won.
39:49I know.
39:53Who's the big guy?
39:54I'm Mr. Howard's lawyer, Philip Dresson.
39:56Do you have the money?
39:58Well, I know.
39:58Then sit down and shut up.
40:01Well, ordinarily, I'm delighted to do what a pretty woman wants.
40:04But not when she's a Penny Annie crook.
40:07This guy gives new meaning to the word suicidal.
40:12We're just here to collect what's owed.
40:14It's our job.
40:15But if you want to make it personal, we can do that, too.
40:17Why, yes, I'll make it personal.
40:19As in personally, I called an old law school roommate who happens to be counsel for one
40:24of the New York syndicates.
40:25And you know what he told me?
40:27He says there are no casinos in Cabo San Lucas, which makes the two of you two-bit hustlers.
40:34Now, is that personal enough for you?
40:37If we're running a scam, how come you didn't go to the police?
40:40I wouldn't waste their time.
40:42Honest people always go to the cops.
40:43Which means that you're not honest.
40:44And we're still in business.
40:46Well, if that's your attitude.
40:48I have no other way, of course.
40:52Idiot.
40:53That was not part of the bargain.
40:55Will you stay out of this?
40:56Look, we'll give you everything you like.
40:57It's simply that we can't give it to you right away.
41:00All the money's gone.
41:01My wife's trust fund will be up in six months, and you can have the money then.
41:05You expect us to wait six months?
41:07It's $10 million.
41:09We're waiting.
41:10Look, it's all very simple.
41:13All we have to do is give these people the money, and they'll go away.
41:20You're the one who's manufacturing the crisis.
41:23I know what I'm doing.
41:24Do you?
41:25Morrissey is already shaky, knowing that this man has seen Evelyn.
41:28Do you think he'll hold his tongue if they're killed?
41:30I'll handle Morrissey.
41:33You're going to bury him, too.
41:36You are so bleeding smart.
41:39Do you think we're going to find another doctor to convince the world that Evelyn's crazy and keep her locked
41:44away?
41:45Interesting bit of information.
41:46I think our price just went up.
41:48Are you finished?
41:49Or would you like to admit embezzlement while you're at it?
41:53Now lock the door.
41:54Don't do it.
41:55Don't do it.
41:55Lock the damn door.
41:57We have no options left.
41:58You've seen to that.
41:59Still, this option does have its problems.
42:01Like the noise problem.
42:02And the disposal problem.
42:03And of course, there's always the Nigel problem.
42:05Yes, it's one more thing he won't be able to keep quiet about.
42:07You really are going to have to do something about him.
42:09Nigel, don't listen to them.
42:11I don't have to.
42:12I've been listening to you.
42:19Open the door.
42:20Police.
42:24Police.
42:32Freeze.
42:35I just figured out who John Reed is.
42:37That was the Lone Ranger's real name.
42:45This is the final boarding call for flight 725, nonstop service.
42:50They don't have to go with me.
42:51They're going to be safe.
42:52Yes.
42:53And I don't know if the police will take them all.
42:56We'll go back to the white girl and see if they're in front.
42:58Of course.
42:59Of course.
43:00Of course.
43:00Of course.
43:00Of course.
43:00Of course.
43:00CCA representatives, please meet your party at game nine.

44:44THE END
45:09Tonight, we have a very unusual story involving the lady sitting next to me, Miss Evelyn Weiss Howard, the potato
45:18chip heiress.
45:19It's a very unusual story brought to us in quite an unusual manner.
45:25See it on my left is Marty Zamora.
45:27Hey Juanito, is this great? Is this fantastic?
45:30We made the papers, the audience is packed, and best of all, I am still employed.
45:36Yes!
45:38Oh, I got your memo. I hired the assistant like you wanted. It was going to cost us, but what's
45:43a couple of bucks when it can get us all of this?
45:45What memo, Bert? What assistant?
45:49Bert?
45:51Hiya, Okimusabe.
45:52What are you doing here?
45:53Well, Pavone is still after me, so I figure, given the circumstances that Santa Ana is the last place he's
45:59going to look.
45:59So I've decided to take a month out of my life to give you a chance to persuade me of
46:04the joys of honest toil and budget shopping.
46:08But then again, maybe I can persuade you back into satin sheets and out of your silver pajamas.
46:18John, how are you doing here?
46:19John, how are you doing here?
46:20John, how are you doing here?
46:22Who's there?
46:23It's so nice to see you again.
46:25Oh, I love your outfit. You're going to have to tell me where you got it. Bye.
46:51It's a miscarriage of justice. It is.
46:53It's a warrant for a parking ticket.
46:55I'm exposing you idiots.
46:58Ben Belkin against the meter maze.
47:01Get down!
47:04I'm afraid your parking ticket may be linked to a murder.
47:06Let's fight City Hall.
47:07Forget about the parking ticket or you're dead.
47:12Detectives Winston and Raleigh.
47:16You're the one who tried to run over that, okay?
47:18Jump. Jump?
