So, Mr. Beloit, you would like this
court to believe that your brother, the

defendant, Tom Beloit, could not have
killed his wife's lover because he was

with you that night.

That's right.

Uh -huh.

Who drove to the bar you allegedly went
to that night? You or your brother?

What do you mean allegedly?

Huh?

We were there. Just answer the question,
please, Mr. Beloit.

I drove.

And whose car did you drive, yours or
your brother's?

Mine. Look, I already told the cops.

Tom and I drove to the Cedar Bar to
check out Singer for our club. We got

around 10.

We left around 11 after she finished her
set.

And then you drove home in your car, is
that correct?

Yes.

But you can't identify one single person
who saw you there that night, can you?

It was Friday night.

Place was jammed.

But we were there.

And your car was there too, right?

How many times do I have to say?

Mr. Beloit, are you aware that perjury
is a crime for which there are severe

penalties?

I'm telling the truth.

You own a bar, Mr. Beloit.

Is it true what they say, that customers
come in and tell you their troubles?

Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

And sometimes you tell them your
troubles, too, don't you?

I talked to some of the customers at
your bar, and according to them, you

complain that your car is always in the
shop. Is that true?

I got a lemon.

And that's where your car was on the
night of the murder.

In the shop.

I have a copy of the work order right
here.

Don't do it, Mr. Beloit.

Don't get yourself in deeper.

You didn't go anywhere with your brother
that night. You weren't even with your

brother that night, were you?

Yes. You love your brother and you want
to help him.

And we can understand that, but you must
not lie for him.

He wasn't with you that night.

because that night he was, in fact,
murdering his wife's lover.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have
you reached a verdict?

Yes, we have, Your Honor.

The defendant will please rise.

May we have your verdict, please?

We, the jury, find the defendant, Thomas
Beloit, guilty of murder in the first

degree.

Tommy. Tommy.

Tommy, don't work.

Thank you. Excuse us.

Not right now. Sorry.

Sorry. Hey, hey.

Julie.

Mike Eisman.

What brings you to Atlanta?

Just passing through.

Well, I'm on vacation, sort of. My
mother's down in Florida visiting her

so she wants me to drive down and bring
her back. So I thought I would stop on

the way to see you.

Well, Atlanta isn't exactly on your way.

Oh, Mike, this is Eli Boward, an
attorney in my office. Mike Eisman, an

friend of mine. Hi.

Listen, you wouldn't, by any chance, be
free for, you know, lunch?

Well?

Gee, Mike, I'm sorry.

Julie and I are having a working lunch.

We've just been assigned to the Bronca
case.

Oh, Mike, I'm sorry.

No, oh, you know, I mean, I should have
called. But let's talk before you go,

okay? Where are you staying?

The Grand Hotel.

The Grand.

Bye. Bye.

Bronco King.

You just convicted an innocent man,
lady.

You just convicted an innocent man.

You did it. You did it. The jury
believes you're alive.

Nobody railroads my brother and gets
away with it. I know you're up to

that.

What's going on?

I'm going to get you.

What's he talking about? Get here.

Oh, he's just... Are you all right? I'm
fine.

You don't look all right. It's all
right. I'm okay.

Did that guy threaten you? His brother
was just convicted of murder, so he's

kind of upset.

Oh, that's right. Your case.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

If that guy threatened you, don't you
think you should file a report? No, no.

was just blowing off steam.

Hello? Who is this?

Hello.

It's white tablet paper, black permanent
marker. You can buy them in any grocery

store.

I'll send it over to the lab, but I
doubt that they'll find prints.

There's not much we can do in a
situation like this.

Bob, the man was in my garage, and he
called me so many times last night I had

to disconnect the phone.

Oh, Julie, I need proof that it's Nick
Beloit.

He threatened me in front of witnesses.

Threats aren't proof of a crime. You of
all people know that.

Look, let me work on a note.

If there's anything there, I'll be all
over him.

Julie, I'm sorry.

Yes, yes, we all know the law.

But the man has my phone number.

And he knows where I live.

I don't know what to do.

Put Conrad on it.

If this Nick Beloit harasses you again,
we'll get him. Okay?

Meantime, what would you think?

Stay with me.

Okay with me.

All right.

I'll take care of the mysterious phone
calls and the anomalous notes.

Did you sleep with me? Not a wink.

Let's go pack a bag.

No.

What? No.

I can't do it.

I'm not going to give him the
satisfaction of driving me out of my own

At least not yet.

Let's give it another 24 hours and maybe
he'll go away.

Do you think that's wise?

I don't know.

Hello? You look lovely in blue.

If you think you're frightening me, Mr.
Beloit, you're wrong.

And if you keep this up, sooner or later
you're going to make a mistake.

And that's when I'm going to nail you.
And then you are going to join your

brother in prison. And now the show is
over.

You all right? I'm all right. I didn't
panic.

I'm sorry. Oh, don't be sorry.

I'm not peeping in your window.

Must be in that high -rise across the
street.

Yeah. Conrad will be there. You packed?

Almost.

Ben, I've given this a great deal of
thought.

I'm going to stay at your house, but I'm
going to go to work in the morning.

Julie. I am going to do my job.

I am not going to let this disrupt my
life. Well, couldn't you take a few days

off? No.

Look, what if you leave your work
clothes here?

Let's go.

I'll take the bag.

Good morning.

Oh, good morning.

Did you sleep?

Yes. Good. First I didn't think I would,
and then all of a sudden it was

morning.

Phone didn't ring once.

Maybe he got tired and it's over.

This will be ready in a minute. Oh, I
don't eat breakfast.

You have to eat breakfast.

Most important meal of the day.

You sound like my mother.

Well, you can bet your sweet patootie
I'm not your mother.

I'm glad you got to eat breakfast.

Oh, Ben, Eli and I have the bronca case.

Yeah? Yeah, yeah, and we blocked out the
whole day to work on it together. Yeah,

yeah.

So I guess I better go.

Well, well... Here.

Here.

Examine you.

If you starve to death, it won't be my
fault.

Thank you.

Hello?

Anybody there?

Hello?

This is the only apartment on this side
of the building.

It's been right in the last month.

Yeah, the last six months.

Guess she hasn't moved in yet.

She? Yeah.

Rented it to a woman. Name's Lisa
Johnson.

Match kind of thing. Tall.

Dark hair about down to her shoulders.

Plain dress.

Below the knee.

Didn't talk much. Had kind of a low
voice. You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Anyway, the name is Lisa Johnson. At
least that's the name she gave me.

Paid me in cash, so I didn't ask any
questions. Never look a gift horse in

mouth, I always say. You know what I
mean?

Yeah.

When did she rent it?

Last Tuesday.

Phone works.

You have her former address, her work
number, anything?

She paid cash.

If you hear from Lisa Johnson, you give
me a call.

I'm out of principle.

Yeah.

Come in.

Oh, hi, Eli.

Are you all right?

Fine.

Is something wrong?

Well, um... You were due in court at 10
.30. Motions, the Branca case.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, no, it's all right. I took care
of it. How could I have done that?

It's right here in my calendar. How
could I just forget?

Julie, look.

Why don't you take some time off? Get
away for a while. Now, Paula and I have

place in the country up near Jasper, and
you are welcome to it.

Oh, thanks, Eli, but I need to stay
here. At work, I feel like I have some

of control.

I mean, I did.

I won't forget anything again, I
promise.

Okay. But you remember, anytime you want
to use the place, it's all right.

And Paula says so, too.

Oh.

Hello. Who is this?

Well, yes, it is. Who is this?

Oh, um... Well, just a minute.

Michael Eisman.

Are you still in town?

Oh, no, tonight's not very good.

Ah, tomorrow.

Uh, Mike, to be honest with you, I'm
going through a rough time at work right

now, and... Well,

if I change my mind, I'll call you,
okay? Are you still at the Grand Hotel?

Room 817.

Okay. Okay.

Bye.

Call it a day.

Got a beer?

175. You know a woman named Lisa
Johnson?

Nope.

Lives in an apartment on Ashton and 3rd.

What are you asking me for? That's
halfway across town.

She come in here?

I heard.

Nope. Don't know.

Yeah.

Got a match?

That's interesting.

Not many people like matches that way.

Found this in an apartment on Ashton and
Thurton.

I don't know what your story is, but you
got something to say. Why don't you

just say it?

Bye.

Oh, Ben, I did something today I've
never done before in my life.

What? Well, I was supposed to be at
court at 10 .30, and I forgot all about

Oh, I heard about that.

You did?

Yeah. You know how fast word travels
around the courthouse.

Who told you?

Charlie.

The hot dog vendor?

Yeah. Hey, speaking of food...

It's the least I can do. I'll stop by
the market on my way home. What market?

I'll meet you there.

Oh, you don't have to do that.

Well, I'd just like to look at the
produce and push the cart.

The food mart on Carson.

Okay, I'll meet you there. And I'll get
us a cart that all the wheels work.

Julie, it's okay. It's me. It's Nick
Beloyed. He's right behind me.

He got away.

Julie,

are you sure it was Nick Beloyed? Yes.

Well, I didn't get a look at his face,
but...

I just came from the bar he and his
brother owned. He was working. There's

way that he could have beaten me here.

No way.

But if it wasn't Nick Beloyed, who was
it?

This is good.

Yeah, I've had that a long time.

All right, let's say it wasn't Nick
Beloit in that apartment.

Could have been a friend of his.

Maybe. Well, like a woman that rented
that apartment. Could have been a

Maybe. Or maybe it has nothing to do
with Nick Beloit. You found the

with the matches folded down. Nick
Beloit was in that apartment.

Or somebody who wanted us to think it
was Nick Beloit.

Who else was around when he threatened
you?

Who wasn't around? The corridor was
packed.

Well, think back. Does anybody in
particular come to mind?

You were there.

Eli.

Harvey Goodman.

That's Tom Blewett's lawyer.

And, oh, there was this friend of mine
from Baltimore, Michael Eisman.

He just showed up out of the blue, and
he said he was on his way down to

Florida.

He called me yesterday. He's still in
town. But that's just a coincidence.

He's a legal secretary. We work together
in Baltimore.

Oh, just a friend.

I think he did ask me out once.

Did you know?

No, no, no. I remember I was very
surprised because I never thought of

as somebody I'd ever date, but I didn't
go, and he never asked me again.

Yeah. I wonder if we should... It can't
be him.

It just can't be.

Julie?

This is such a nice surprise.

I thought you might have gone back to
Florida.

Not yet.

Something's bothering you.

Why do you say that?

I can tell. I used to watch you a lot in
the office, and I know when you're

upset.

Why did you watch me, Mike?

You're pretty.

Did I do something wrong? Are you mad at
me?

No, no, I'm not mad at you.

But, uh... I do have a problem.

Somebody, a man, has been calling me and
following me.

Oh, you think it's me?

I don't know.

Julie, I would never, ever do anything
to upset you. Mike, I'm not accusing

It's just that all of this started the
day you came to Atlanta.

So you can understand why I have to ask
you.

Why did you come to see me?

I wanted to take you to dinner and...
Thank you. You

helped me years ago.

Oh, Mike.

I only treated you like I treat
everybody else.

No, you were always so nice.

I'm different. I'm...

I'm shy. It's not easy for me to make
friends with women, and you were so

It meant a great deal to me.

I don't know what to say.

I've made friends with a lady.

She's shy, too.

I don't know what to say.

I don't know what to say anything.

You do believe me, though, don't you?

Ben? Yeah, in here.

Hey. Yeah, should we go see? Yeah. I
figured.

Everything okay? Did you stay close?

Didn't have to. They never left the
lobby of the hotel.

No? No.

No, they talked a while, and she left,
and he went to the hotel restaurant.

Ate this big bowl of cereal with sliced
bananas, and then went up to his room.

In the middle of the afternoon? Yeah,
watched him eat the whole bowl, and then

watched him go up to his room. Even
listened for him to snap that little

security chain.

What kind of bird is he? I don't know.
He's a little weird. He's average.

He should be the one.

The me? Yeah.

Well, this place is plain to listen.

Well, what do you think?

Whoever we're looking for, right, he'd
come in here, he'd sit there waiting for

Julie to come home, use the phone to
harass her, and then he'd leave. Yep.

One other thing he might have done while
he was waiting.

What's that?

When you drop a phone book like that,
it'll open up to the page that you use

most.

I bet it'll open up to the restaurant
section.

Yeah, any man who waits for hours has
food delivered.

You like pizza?

Boy, somebody washed the curtains, the
windows, and everything.

I did.

Why? Because everything was dirty.

I just can't sit around and do nothing.
I'll go nuts.

Oh.

What if I took you to lunch?

I fixed them to my salad. It's in the
fridge.

Um, Julie, you've got to stop cleaning
that oven.

I gotta keep busy.

It's self -cleaning.

I knew that.

Well, here, Sam, I'll fix you some
lemonade.

Hello?

Who?

You got the wrong number.

Who are you?

Well, listen, pizza man, let me tell you
something.

You... Damn.

The pizza man.

That night he was looking through your
window.

While he was waiting for you to come
home, he ordered a pizza.

We went to a lot of places, but we never
found anybody who saw him. He's like

the shadow. He knows I'm here.

How did he find out? I don't know. How?
I didn't tell anybody I was staying

here. Not a single soul. How did he find
out? I don't know. Now he's following

both of us.

Here, sit down. I don't want to sit
down. I want to get that gun.

I just want my life back.

I know.

I know. I know.

Everything's going to be all right.

We've got to find you another place
where you'll be safe.

Doesn't Eli have a place somewhere?

Look, I don't know what you're talking
about.

Trespassing?

Harassment? Maybe even assault.

Hey, if somebody is harassing that
broad, I say, great.

More power to him.

It isn't me.

Well, if it isn't you, somebody's doing
his best to make it look like you.

How many people know you've been to your
matches over this way?

Everybody who's ever seen me smoke.

After you threatened Julie March at the
courthouse, where'd you go?

Went home, changed clothes, came
straight here.

Most of your customers regular?

Yeah. Yeah, except on weekends.

The day your brother was convicted, you
remember seeing anybody come in here you

didn't know?

Not right off.

I want you to come downtown and look
over some pictures. Here's the address.

What kind of pictures?

Ex -cons, parolees, people who don't
like Julie March much.

I could be there all day.

You'd be in prison a lot longer.

9 a .m.

This is so nice.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is, isn't it?

You know, we better head back in. It
looks like we're in for a storm. Come

Are you sure you don't need me back in
town?

I'm positive.

Oh, I wish I could work.

But all my files are in the off. Well, I
can go back into town tonight, pick up

what you need, and then bring it to you
tomorrow. That would be great.

Oh, thank you.

And thank Paula, too, for lending me
your place. Okay, come on. We're in for

Let's go.

Check

the

addresser in the bedroom upstairs.

Paula may have left some sweaters here.

I... I found this in the drawer.

Everything in here is about me.

Yeah.

I think a lot of...

Where is Paula?

Gone.

I'm glad you're here.

Eli, you're very upset.

No.

No, I'm not. I don't get upset, Julie.

And besides, you're here now.

You know, it took me quite a while, but
you are here.

Isn't there somebody you could talk to?

Like a doctor or a close friend.
Somebody you could call. I'll talk to

No. This isn't right.

Yes.

Oh, yes, it is.

Julie, you saw my scrapbook.

You don't know how often I have dreamed
of having you here. It is going to be so

wonderful now, Julie.

It's just...

The two of us together.

You and me.

So close.

Touching.

You and me, Julie.

Just you and me.

I have to go.

Don't you understand? I think about you
all the time. Eli, we can talk about

this another time. No!

You're going to stay you want to I have
to go

You stay

You are not going to leave me.

You're here. You are here. Do you
understand me? Yes.

Don't make me angry.

Don't do that.

No, don't.

What about this guy?

You recognize this guy?

Paul?

This guy.

Here you go.

Nope. Fresh from the photo. Oh, good,
good, good, good.

Take a look at this guy. You recognize
him?

Nope.

You sure?

Yep.

Have you spoken to Dewey? I tried to
call, but the phone was busy.

This guy looks familiar.

That's Eli Boyd.

He worked with you.

She was with him outside the courtroom.

She was?

Well, so was I.

I'm so mad all I remember seeing is her.

Yeah, well, come over here.

Come over here.

Try this guy.

How about this guy?

I'm telling you, I've seen that guy
before.

And it wasn't in that courtroom either.

Napoleon Brandy.

This guy came in my place three nights
in a row, sat down at the end of the bar

drinking Napoleon Brandy.

Are you sure?

I finally remember. Now you don't
believe me?

You've got a huge amount of gas in your
car.

Enough to get us there.

Don't try to run away again.

Don't do that.

You see, I don't understand. I thought
if I brought you up here, you would want

to be here, you would want to be with me
all the way.

Well, you will, you will.

Right, you will, you will. It just takes
some people longer than others, that's

all. I mean, I can wait.

I can be patient.

But of course you already knew that,
huh?

You're going?

To want to be with me.

It'll be good.

It'll be good.

Don't.

Get back in your car.

Oh, come on, Eli. Just let me talk with
you for a minute.

No, get back in your car, Ben.

Eli, you don't want to hurt anybody.

Get out of here.

There'll be other people coming. You
can't run them all off.

Oh, damn.

Eli.

You never know, do you?

I'll call the police.

You look good anyway.

Let's go home.

Let's do that.
