All language subtitles for Hitchcock s03e23 Completely Foolproof.eng

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

This is the latest in private yachts. I
bought it at a war surplus store.

It has many advantages over the normal
yacht.

I find that fewer of my friends preload.

And then, of course, the fact that my
little craft came with torpedoes adds

to yacht racing.

I am not merely the first to cross the
finish line.

I am frequently the only one.

Tonight's story is about the battle of
the sexes.

Actually, in the case of this couple,
open warfare would be a better phrase.

I believe I am directly on target.

Suppose you take a look.

I'm working on your zoning difficulty,
Mr. Brisson. Just tell me, am I in the

clear? Oh, the council votes tomorrow
afternoon.

Yes, I know.

Oh, I think so. It's just a formality.
That means I'm paying.

You'll get your yes vote tomorrow.

Pick up your case and walk away. We've
been followed.

I don't see anybody get lost.

Well, what about my money? Tomorrow,
Baines.

No money, no vote.

We'll see about that.

Thank you.

I get paid, Mr. Burson. Which one of my
competitors has got to know what I'm

doing?

You're a wife.

Thank you.

Would you pass the hors d 'oeuvre tray
to Miss Lawrence, please?

Thank you.

Walter, just where is my husband?

Well, I...

I know, but he has a late business
appointment.

Business appointment? It's after 8 o
'clock.

Joe sees people at all hours.

All on business.

Ask him yourself, Lisa.

Put this on my desk, will you?

What's that woman doing here? A little
surprise party, darling.

I don't like surprise parties, big or
little.

Well, how'd it go?

Oh, good.

I was followed.

Why do you take chances, Joe?

Just give me the word and I'll see that
Baines or anybody else paid off.

Think about it.

Just give me the word, Joe.

Better catch up, darling.

You're only an hour late.

I can't stand Betty Lawrence.

Oh, now, Joe, she's our friend. Your
friend.

Joe, don't be so hard on her, and please
try to smile.

I don't smile without a reason. They're
not going to see you for at least two

months. And don't you know they think
it's awfully important to be in close

touch with Joe Prissy?

Whenever you leave for Europe or South
America, Or wherever they're selling

cheap at Bon Voyage, Joe.

And when you come back home, it's
welcome home.

You know perfectly well if I had told
you that Walter was bringing her to

dinner, you probably wouldn't have even
come home to change your clothes.

Am I right?

I had a business appointment this
evening.

I've got another one.

Oh, yes.

I am sorry about Anna.

She's going to miss your way of saying
goodbye.

Anna. Anna.

Would you like me to phone her and tell
her that you're sorry you won't be able

to see her tonight?

Unfortunately, Joe must eat and run.

It seems that there are some other
people that he must see tonight before

buzz off to London together.

Business appointments.

Walter never likes to discuss his
business affairs with his clients

office. Well, you see, I'm a part of
Joe's business 24 hours a day.

I'd say half, wouldn't you, Walt?

We don't have any business secrets, do
we, darling?

Nothing but confidence in each other's
abilities.

To you, my business partner, my business
inspiration, dealer in private

detectives. To you, my wife.

You will excuse us.

Say about a private detective?

You hired one to follow me?

Get out of here.

Now!

I should think you'd like to lower your
voice.

I'll talk as loud as I want in my own
house.

Get my rap. We're getting out of here.

I agree with you, darling.

What about Anna?

I've broken one of our rules, haven't I?
I said another woman's name straight to

your tired businessman.

Can you ever forgive me? Lisa, you're a
woman, but you're sensible.

You're an understanding wife who's all
wrapped up in my position in this

community. And believe me, Anna or no
Anna, we're going to keep it that way.

Oh, no, we're not going to keep it that
way.

Now, what will shut you up about Anna?

A divorce.

I didn't hear you.

A divorce?

Because of Anna.

Is there another woman?

What about London?

I'm not going to London.

You got one.

I want a settlement.

Get in there.

That's right, darling. Why don't you
just hit me in public and then I'll get

every single thing you've got. I said
get in there.

They probably think we're going to kiss
and make up or something unusual like

that. What kind of settlement?

A big fat settlement.

Sure, like most of your rich
girlfriends.

Three quarters.

Three quarters of what?

Of the Brisson Land Development Company.
Oh, no, that's mine.

Our Brisson Land Development Company?
Never. My Brisson Land Development

Company. I help you build it all.

If it hadn't been for me, you'd have
nothing but an empty lot that you

blackmailed from the owner.

Oh, darling.

It really mustn't look like that.

I mean, you're not a goon anymore,
remember?

That was 20 years ago. Now you're a
civilized pillar of society.

You really need a face to mask.

Can't you shut up?

I'm awfully sorry that I'm not able to
go to London with you.

I know how much you rely on my social
touch for all that drawing room

I can hire a hostess.

Exactly.

And that's why I want out.

But I don't just want out, Joe. I want
to take it with me.

Or you'll be able to make it again.

Even if I leave you with nothing but an
empty lot for a stay.

You have what it takes, Joe.

For making money, that is. You can take
the empty lot and the divorce.

Just give me three quarters of the
Grissom Land Development Company without

trouble, won't you? I'll give you
nothing but trouble.

Fifty percent is all any lawyer would
get for you.

You forget my lawyer has hired that
marvelous private detective that's been

focused on you, Joe, for six weeks.

Maybe he'll forget.

Oh, no.

But he is so sick of your face and your
voice and your movement that his fear is

extraordinarily high.

But then I wanted extraordinary
evidence.

I said I'd give you a divorce and a fair
settlement.

The detective has given us your letters
to Anna.

Poor Joe.

Did I really inhibit you, sir?

I'm glad you understand me better at
last.

If only at a distance.

But the world needs to know you better,
Joe. I have the makings of a best

-selling novel.

I want to write the story of Joe
Brisson, real estate operator.

It'll be a serial that'll tantalize the
public first in court when they read

your letters to Anna.

Then... You want a divorce to marry
Bobby Davenport.

Control his land, use his big name.

You want to be a Davenport, don't you?

I don't know what I want to do with all
your money and my freedom.

No doubt many impoverished names will
fall.

The Davenports, the Spragues, the
Whitridges.

I'm still somewhat of a dish, you know.

Fifty percent of no publicity.

No deal.

Oh, now, Joe, the background is showing.

Joe, you're going to throw it all away.

Everything we've built up together, your
precious image.

Should I come back in a now?

Certainly not. Come on in, will you?

You sure?

I'm alone. You can see for yourself.

I'm not checking up on you, Bob.

Be glad I'm here.

Mrs. Brisson.

Did you tell him anything?

I told him everything.

What?

Enough to kill him.

I need a drink.

Do you need a drink, Lisa?

Bobby, you're all tense. I think you
better sit down.

I need a drink first.

Bobby, sit down.

I'll rub your neck.

That'll be better for you.

I know you're practically Joe's business
partner, but I thought

you were on my side.

Now, look, Bobby, let's get this
straight. I do not want your land.

That land's been in my family for years,
Lisa.

The Davenport family.

Now, your company can't call in the loan
and use the property for a housing

development.

And the loan you asked Joe to give me,
it wasn't a third of the land value.

You said you were sure to pay back the
money from your winnings. I said it.

Nothing is completely foolproof.

Can't you tell me what Joe's going to
do?

Is he giving me more time to pay?

I don't know.

Are you lying to me?

Yes, I am.

Why? I want you to win, Bobby, and beat
out Joe.

I want you to get your hands on that
money, keep the land, and make Joe the

loser. But not to win and then turn
against me because I helped you.

Then I'd be the next loser on your list.

Do you love me?

Why else in this world would I be here
now?

Forget about those letters. They got her
everything she needs.

I know they're here.

I hid them so well.

Haven't you got any letters of hers?

No. To anyone?

No, no letters, no nothing.

I'm so sorry for your trouble.

What can I do to help you, Joe?

Joe, look at your Anna.

Why did you keep those letters?

I couldn't throw them away.

You don't keep letters like that.

I only keep them because I have just a
small part of you for myself.

And your letters are very precious to
me.

Don't you want your letters to be
precious to me?

My business is what's precious to me. My
reputation.

What can I do?

Are they paying you?

For what?

You've given me everything, Joe.

They'll pay you to testify against me in
court.

I'll never say anything to hurt you,
Joe. Of course you won't.

Brisson. Brisson. Who and what is a
Brisson in this part of the country, in

part of the country?

You and you people think you can buy up
anything, put up anything.

condemn houses, run people off, build
ballparks.

Since when do you care about people,
Bobby?

I thought it was horses with you.

You're both out to wreck me, and I know
it.

Me, Bobby?

You know, you better listen to what
you're saying, because I'm listening to

The Brisson Land Development Company is
half your business, isn't it?

75%, actually.

You're asking Joe for 75 %? Not asking.

Demanding.

He'll never give it up. He'd be crazy to
do that. He'll give it all up before

I'm through with him.

I'm with you.

We'll work it out together.

Right, Lisa.

Bobby.

Let's not drink like that, dear.

Never see me again.

If we pass in the street, look straight
ahead.

If we're introduced in public, not
likely. But say hello, Mr. Brisson,

running your hand up and down my shirt
front.

Yes, Joe.

Mr. Brisson to you.

Yes, Mr.

Brisson.

Deny everything anybody ever asks you
about me. Admit nothing. You never knew

me, understand?

I never knew you, Joe.

Mr. Brisson.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir, what?

Most peculiar.

I see nothing but mud.

Perhaps that's because we're approaching
a station break.

Following this stop, we shall proceed
with the second half of... Hi, I'm Steve

Smith.

So quiet, Joe.

No questions?

Well, where were you?

I don't ask you, and you don't ask me.

Remember the rules.

Remember, you said so yourself.

All right, Nikita.

Everybody for themselves, winner take
all.

I can't just sit down.

I can do anything I want.

When I'm ready.

I, uh... I'll give you the settlement
you asked for, Lisa.

Of course you will.

Right. I can make more money for myself.

Can't lose in the land out here.

A reasonable use of the gun.

All in one evening, it's become so real.

Did Anna... Shut up about Anna.

There's no reason to go to court, rough
each other up.

And the business. And the business, of
course not.

Just as long as you sign all the papers
my lawyers give you to sign, then.

I'm off to Nevada for a very quiet
divorce.

Oh, I'll sign the papers.

If Walter says they're reasonable.

And while our lawyers fight, we can be
friends.

Is that the way you want it, Joe?

I don't mind being friends.

The way we started out.

Did we?

Can't you agree to anything?

Don't I look agreeable to you, Joe?

Yes, Lisa.

You're attractive and you know it.

Just as long as you know it, Joe.

I've always known it.

So I've noticed.

Anna meant nothing to me.

Just a little pick -up, is that it, Joe?

Yes. All right. Say it, Joe.

Tell me what Anna is.

I'm not going to see her again, if that
means anything to you.

Dear,

dear Joe.

You know, if I had known that a divorce
would make such a nice person out of

you, such a sugar person, I would have
suggested divorce years ago.

I'm tired, Joe.

You don't look tired.

You must be done.

You look tired, Owen, when I think of
that long trip you have starting for you

tomorrow night.

All the way to London and all alone.

Who in the world's going to look after
you, Joe?

You can still come with me.

We're partners.

It's a divorce a month or so from now.

Is that a business, Owen?

Yes, business.

Between business partners.

Equal partners, Joe?

Collie. It'll be more your business than
mine.

I want the Bobby Davenport promissory
note and the deed he put up for Calero.

And I want $300 ,000 for him.

I'll give 5 % of the business back to
you.

10%. Leaving me with only 65 %... And
the Davenport note, which he can't pay.

Have you any idea what that land's going
to be worth?

All right.

Agreed.

65 % and Bobby's note and deed.

How are you going to use them, Lisa?

Use them?

I just want them.

Maybe I'll give them back to him.

You won't.

Joe, you're so persuasive. So all
businessman when you need to be.

All right, you don't come.

Is your divorce starting tomorrow?

Bobby Davenport's in town, you know.

No, I didn't know.

He wants to have lunch with you
tomorrow.

You saw him tonight?

I see my friends at night, yes.

Not business acquaintances.

I thought you weren't interested in
Bobby Davenport. I wasn't. I am now.

You're still my wife, Lisa.

Oh, yes?

Yes, legally.

Definitely.

I wouldn't have it any other way for the
moment.

You've lost me, Joe.

Well, not yet. Forever and forever and
forever.

Because you never found me in the first
place.

You married me.

For money.

No, that's not true.

Well, that's right.

I thank you for that, Joe.

I salute you.

I could even kiss you.

haven't done too badly.

For a woman, that is.

You're getting everything you want.

And you're not, are you, Joe? And you
know why?

Come here.

Why, Joe, I didn't know you were a
European husband.

I'm a husband, all right.

Why, Joe, darling, I never knew you.

I thought you were somebody else.

Stand still. And be crushed? Oh, no,
Joe.

I want to live.

And you don't want me to live.

I can see that, Joe.

I can see it in your eyes.

Your eyes hate me.

I don't hate you, Lisa. Your eyes tell
me everything.

Bobby, eat.

Oh, thank you very much. I've had
enough.

Food's good here, huh?

It's a good club.

I don't pay much attention to food.

Hung up on horses, right?

Right. Yeah.

Well, Lisa thinks horses are first
class.

Dreams about them.

You tell me why.

I mean, I really don't know, Bobby.

But you know about horses, women,
promissory notes, upper class stuff.

Let's not discuss that, Joe.

Why, because I don't have any?

You mean I'm not the equal of you
natural landowners?

Oh, that's crude, Bobby, like me, not
high class like you.

Now, Joe Brisson is, if anything, middle
class, having climbed a long way.

But he still, you say, isn't the equal
of Bobby Davenport?

Yes. No.

Are you calling in alone?

Eat your lunch.

I want an extension.

Ah, extension's a bad business, Bobby.

Is that final?

Nothing's final till I make up my mind.
Yes, no, bang, bang.

Then you'll know whether being a
Davenport means anything in North Bay

When will that be?

Couple days, couple of weeks, maybe
months when I get back.

Are you sure you'll make the decision?

I'm president of the company, right?

What is Lisa?

I wouldn't mention her to me while
you're eating my lunch.

She talks about you incessantly.

Talk about her incessantly.

What does she say?

Well, for starters, she's very excited
about gaining control of the Britain

Development Company.

Have you actually agreed to that?

You must want a divorce like nothing
else, Joe.

No other way?

Well, Lisa's earned her share of the
company.

She has some good ideas.

In fact, when it comes to taking over
defunct companies, Lisa's my expert on

juggler range.

I'll miss her.

Perhaps I'd prefer to be taken over by
Lisa.

You know, Bobby, if you weren't a
Davenport, you'd be a nothing.

A nothing is a Davenport without his
land.

Lisa will take good care of the
Davenports.

She knows how to do business.

When did you talk to her last?

I was with her earlier this morning.

Let me tell you something, Bobby.

Lisa isn't going to marry you, or keep
you in gambling money, or save your

precious estate, or anything else.

Who knows my wife better than me?

What kind of cheese, Bobby?

Lisa, I asked you to marry me.

I did hear you the first time.

Then answer me. You're shouting at the
wrong person, Bobby.

Lisa, I'm sorry.

It's just that I... Do you really want
me, Bobby?

Yes.

Do you really need me?

I do.

How?

I... I love you, Lisa.

All right.

You don't believe me.

I don't know whether I believe you or
not, Bobby.

Let me see. How long has it been?

Been?

Yes, we... We met in Miami about three
years ago, didn't we?

Now all of a sudden you want to marry
me.

Why?

Did Joe say something about the
promissory note that helped make up your

said, I love you, I want to marry you. I
wasn't talking about notes. You aren't?

Well, I am.

I might.

You see, I've got to start thinking more
like a businesswoman, Bobby. I mean,

you can understand me.

Lisa.

I... I thought you wanted to marry me,
if I asked you.

You see, Bobby, I've had to do some very
serious thinking now that I'm going to

be in control of the company.

I'm not going to be able to make any
personal decisions.

Every decision I make must be for the
good of the company, the stockholders,

employees.

That's my responsibility.

Your note is past due, and your land is
quite marketable.

Well, you can have the land.

If we're married, it won't make any
difference.

We'll call it a wedding present.

My family won't mind if I'm married.

I've also had to do some serious
thinking about you, Bobby.

Your whole character.

You are a gambler.

And worse yet, a bad gambler.

Unlike Joe, you usually lose.

I've won.

Not since I've known you.

I thought you cared for me, that we
could have a life together.

Darling, we've had some very interesting
times together.

I'll give up gambling.

You have my word. Look what you did with
that land you held in trust.

You signed it over for a quarter of its
value.

I'll sign any papers you want. No
claims, no controls. It just won't work

Bobby. Business -wise.

What do you mean?

We can try.

I mean I don't want to get married.

I'm not even divorced yet. Why in the
world should I even be talking about

getting married to anybody?

All right, Lisa.

I did think we might be able to work out
something together.

What changed your mind?

The way you are.

Oh, I mean, you're terribly charming and
I adore you.

But I know you better now.

You are in a trap, Bobby.

What trap?

I know for a fact Joe is calling in your
note meeting.

Did he tell you?

Oh, no, no, not directly.

I just know my husband rather well.

Well, I just had lunch with him. He said
it might be months before he'd decide.

Hours.

Joe is a great cat and rat man.

And you are his private little rat
puppy.

He'll never forgive you for seeing me.

If I were you, I'd phone my Lord.

I'm afraid the land is as good as Joe's
now.

Brissonville Estates.

Don't you change that when it's your
company?

I'm afraid it'll be too late by then,
Bobby.

Will you give me the money I need?

Oh, of course I will, as soon as I can
get my hands on it.

Just because we're not getting married,
that doesn't mean I don't care for you.

It's just that everything's going to be
frozen for the next six weeks with the

divorce settlement and everything, and
by the time Joe and I get everything

settled, I'm afraid you're just going to
be wiped out.

Don't you want to help me at all?

Darling, of course I do.

If you're not wiped out, come and see me
in six weeks.

In the meantime, I'm afraid only Joe can
help you.

And he wants to get you.

And he will get you, Bobby.

He'll get you good.

Unless, of course, you can persuade him
to change his mind.

You can be pretty good at persuading,
Bobby.

Will you shut up?

Do you have an appointment, Mr...
Davenport, no.

Mr. Brisson's awfully busy.

He's leaving for London soon.

But I'll check.

Thanks.

I said no calls till I asked for them.

I'm very sorry, sir.

You can't go in there!

What's the big idea?

Get out of here.

I couldn't stop him, Mr. Brisson.

What do you mean you couldn't stop him?

All right, all right, that's all.

Yes, sir.

Come to pay your debt, no doubt. I have
no money, you know that.

Good, then I'm glad you're here.

You should hear this from me rather than
my lawyer.

Yes, I've just reached an unpleasant
decision, you should hear.

Go ahead.

That's nothing personal, if that's what
you're thinking. Lisa's no part of this.

Just business between us. Good business.

I can't give you an extension, so I'll
be claiming your land.

I know. Lisa told me.

What does she know?

She said you were out to get me.

I never thought of it until I saw you
come through that door.

Lisa was right.

Put it away.

I know how it feels to grab the short
end of the stick.

I want my deed and my note.

I'll pay you the money when I can.

But you can't take the land. I'll take
the land.

Stand up.

Listen, you made a bad deal. That's too
bad.

But you wanted money and you got money
from me.

I said stand up.

No.

And I won't put up my hands either.

Better be accurate or you'll never reach
the street. You get one shot, that's

all. Keep talking.

If it makes you feel better.

Look, I admit I was sore about you and
Lisa.

My husband wouldn't be. On your feet.
Let's go. Where?

Out. For a ride.

You'll have to carry me out.

If you walk out with me quietly, you'll
have maybe 20 minutes longer to live.

And in those 20 minutes, you might think
of something like giving me my land

back. Or maybe I'll make a mistake.

I doubt it.

But if you don't walk out with me,
you'll never know what might have

keep you living a little longer.

I'll get you, you know that. I don't
care about that.

And you won't know about it. I'll chance
it right here if I have to.

Now or later, Joe.

Why me?

Speak longer sentences, Joe. I want to
catch you right in the middle of one.

Bobby. Start a paragraph.

What did Lisa promise you?

I don't need promises from her.

Is she going to marry you?

Did she change her mind about you?

She did, didn't she?

Lisa and I are still friends.

She changed her mind about you because
she thought I was going to call in your

note and wipe you out, right?

You think she'll marry you if you get
your note back?

If you kill me?

She might.

I'm going to find out.

Let me tell you about Lisa. You don't
know her.

I know how she feels about you from the
beginning.

Will you read her letters to me about
you?

I was going to use them in court.
They're right here.

Where? The desk. Top drawer. Stay away
from the desk.

Sure.

Just keep reading carefully.

Do you think she cared about you?

Do you think she cared... Where are
they?

Keep looking.

There.

The first letter.

It's from Lisa from Miami.

When you two met at the racetrack,
remember?

At first, you were just for laughs.

You thought you got lucky with Lisa,
didn't you?

But when the horses took all your
money... Lisa gave you pocket money,

loans you never paid back, it's all
there.

Something about we'll have this
Davenport singing for his freeloading

And about you controlling a large land
tract out here in California and how I

should loan you lots of money so you'd
have a big stake and lose that too.

And we'd get the land, us, Lisa and me,
which is the Brisson Land Development

Company.

I asked her to marry me today.

You're lucky she isn't going to.

Because she's even harder on husbands
than she is on suckers.

And believe me, you were her private
sucker from the moment she saw you.

I'll get you out of this, Bobby.

Don't you hear me? I'll get you out of
this.

Lisa can't do a thing for you, but I
can, while I'm still in business here.

What can you do?

The note and the deed to the land.

I'll give them back to you.

Be able to start out fresh.

Find yourself a rich widow who wants to
marry you.

She'll keep you in the chips.

That's worth working for, isn't it?

What do you say?

What do you want?

I need a little job done, Bobby, while
I'm away.

A little troubleshooting.

You mean what I think you mean?

Yes.

You want me to kill her?

Yes, I do. Why should I?

This says that on a certain date after

you've fulfilled certain obligations,
I'll return to you the note and the deed

to the land.

There's nothing incriminating here, so
don't think you can double -cross me.

You'll get the rest as soon as you
fulfill those certain obligations.

What do you want me to do?

On Thursday, I'll be one day out of New
York.

on board the Princess Alana.

I'll place a phone call to my home here.

Joseph Brisson in 1204.

I placed a call to my home in
