Big deal.

Oh, there you go. Hi, Bernie.

Hey, Nadine.

Sally isn't here. A car broke down again.

Hey, Bernie.

Hey, got a second, man? I want you to wrap your palate around a new recipe.

Okay.

This ain't gonna be like the three -pepper soup, is it?

It's hotter. Come on, get in here, man. Right.

Bernie, you remember a guy called Earl DeLongpre?

Earl DeLongpre.

DeLongpre. He robbed a bank back in 68.

Right. Got killed in a shootout with the cops.

Half a million dollars in money, never recovered.

Till now.

Take a look at this.

Heard a long pre to Lorraine Savandini. Where'd you find this?

I was moving a booth to put down some new tiles.

That has been stuck in there for 20 years. years now.

Sweet Lorraine thought I hide from my enemies.

The cops.

See, he must have wrote it after the robbery, then. But I managed to deliver

package. That's so nice.

Hey, Johnny, don't overcook the clams.

Okay, Aunt.

Hot clams.

Yeah. To keep track of my train of thought, remember our visit to Buffalo.

Down by the old mill stream in the tunnel of darkness, you'll know you've

too far.

Seymour, it's all in cold, man.

Yeah, I got that, Johnny.

But I appreciate it.

I fell off the wagon at Hallelujah Junction, and that's where we'll find

heart's desire.

Love always, Earl.

Hallelujah Junction.

I don't know, somewhere near Buffalo, maybe.

Gangster soup, man.

What's the deal?

Fine, Lorraine, 17.

Even if I find her, it doesn't mean you find the money. Just find her, man. I'll

cut you in on whatever I can get.

Who else knows about this?

Just you.

Let me think about it. I gotta use the phone.

Hey, man. What's it gonna be?

Come on, Bernie. Enter out.

Enter out of what, man?

A poker game, darling.

Oh.

Come on, Bernie.

Half a mil unrecovered coin tax -free.

Unrecovered coins are much like unrecovered souls.

It's rewarding but speculative.

I'll make your preacher's deal.

Fifty -fifty. Fifty percent?

Hey, if I don't find the lady, then fifty percent of nothing's nothing.

Okay, deal.

All right.

Hallelujah.

The usual, Nadine.

Don't take all his money, Bernie.

We don't have a lot right now.

He's a lousy poker player.

So I understand.

Okay,

good work so far. Now what?

Give me the letter. I'll have somebody deliver it.

Hey, man, I don't want to let anyone else in on this.

Sweat nod.

50 -50.

You got it.

Tell me more.

Why'd the insurance company bring you in on this thing?

They paid out big coin to the bank after it was robbed back in 68. They figured

we should flush Lorraine Savendini, come up with the missing cash.

Here's the letter.

Where'd they find it? They didn't tell me, but it says in the paper that

Delongpre was killed a couple of blocks from your cafe.

I figured the story about finding the letter in the booth at the Pacific,

Couldn't you come up with anything better? It's a bit of a stretch if you

me. I didn't.

You want to deliver the letter?

So this Lorraine's the bank robber's wife?

Girlfriend. She was a teller at the bank.

And you figure she was the inside man.

Right. She went on maternity leave two weeks after the heist. Never came back.

Any more questions?

Yeah. Why don't you deliver it?

Somebody's got to tail it.

If I deliver, I can't tail it.

Stupid me.

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Lorraine Fabambini.

Who's asking?

I have a letter for her.

I'll see if she gets it. Oh, I brought the delivery just in person.

Well, um... You might find her selling flowers by the train station.

Oh, great. Thank you.

I'm in transportation.

There you go.

These are lovely.

Fresh cut this morning. Two bucks a bunch.

Lorraine?

Do we know each other?

No, but I've been looking for you. I work at the Pacific Cafe, and I was

cleaning up one day, and I found this letter for you.

Must have been there a very long time.

Yes. Thank you so much for bringing it. Well, better late than never, huh?

Because of you.

Hey,

sir.

Lousy about the whole thing.

What's the woman's now? Oh, this insurance case we're working on. Bernie,

was so shaken.

She could be me.

She's a widow. She's broke. I give her this letter. It stirs up a lot of

memory. We'll talk about it later. Honey, now don't let the swordfish get

She didn't look like the kind of woman who'd be hooked up with a crook like

DeLong -Cray.

DeLong -Cray.

Honey, wasn't that the name on the letter that I found under the counter?

It's me, Dave.

You found?

Under the counter?

It must have been there for, oh, 20 years.

What's going on?

Bernie!

Bernie, could you hang on a minute, please?

I've got the tail of a flower.

Why did you tell me that it was an insurance case?

Can we talk about this outside?

You set me up so you and Johnny could get the money for yourself, didn't you?

Sometimes you've got to work on a need -to -know basis. And I don't need to

anything? I was afraid that you'd tip Lorraine. You were afraid that I would

for my cut.

You want in on this? I'll give you five grand.

Bernie, I don't want money from you. I want a little honesty, a little respect.

Six grand.

Subject, very wisely packed it in for the night.

The one -man, 24 -hour surveillance team is going to try to do the same.

Buona notte.

I'm coming.

If I'd have told you, you would have wanted me to give back the money to the

bank. Am I right? Do you have any idea what time it is?

Well, maybe.

Sally, you're not seeing the big picture.

The insurance company paid off the bank 500 grand 20 years ago.

What's your point?

Well, the point is they're going to charge premiums to their customers.

going to give the money back. What do you think, the little people are going

get the rebate?

Finders keepers, losers weepers.

Is that it?

You got a better philosophy?

Come on, it's free money.

You need some?

Like the flowers need rain.

That's not the point.

What is?

Do you think I've been doing a good job so far?

Yeah. You want me to work with you?

Absolutely. So trust me!

T -R -U -S -T, put it in your vocabulary!

Be honest and straightforward with me. Treat me square.

All right, your work's been great, but what about the kids? I mean, you can't

just jump up in the middle of the night and go out and take a case.

Hey, the kids are not a conflict. You tell me what to do, when to be there,

I will do it.

You can trust me. Okay, I trust that you'll go to Lorraine's and take over

stakeout.

Any sign of her?

Nothing yet.

Maybe the letter doesn't mean anything at all. Maybe it's just what it says. A

bunch of old memories.

Maybe. Maybe not. Why'd she follow you to that bay? Because it meant something.

Or she's paranoid because after all these years, somebody figured out she

the inside man of the bay.

Possibly. Do you want cinnamon peanut or cinnamon coconut?

Plain. Yeah, you want to do that little... I've been

trying to make sense out of letters.

Buffalo could be an animal or the city.

animal. No one go to Buffalo and have fond memories.

Train of thought. Think that means something?

Only Lorraine would know that.

So, what if she leads us to the money? What do we do then? Hit her on the head

and steal it?

What do I look like? You want me to answer that?

We blackmail her. I have you recall this is a woman that helped a man with a gun

rob a bank.

Here she comes.

Where's she going?

The kitty train!

Sally,

come on!

The letter.

Sweet Lorraine, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Please keep track of my train of thoughts.

Train track.

So far, we are... Remember

our

visit to...

Down by the old mill screen.

Good, good, good.

We're closing in.

In the tunnel's darkness, You'll know you've gone too far.

Sally, she definitely made it.

Now what?

Don't give up your seat.

Wait, she was looking at dust.

She did the title. Come on.

Try this.

This is good.

Nice banishing act, eh?

I'd say she got kinky and split.

Well, she couldn't just disappear into thin air.

We spooked her.

Maybe she'll come back later.

You're dreaming.

I'm dreaming? It was your idea to go after the money in the first place.

You jumped on the train pretty quick. Hey, excuse me for being human.

Money talks.

Would have been nice, huh?

I got a junk to clunk and got myself a brand -new car.

No kidding. I was seen picking up a filly down at the yearling's there.

Could have paid off the dentist.

I was even going to go down to New Orleans, get a little pad and a boot

It's very romantic, Bernie.

I wouldn't have minded a CD player.

Sally? What?

Read to me. Read to me from the letter.

I fell off the wagon at Hallelujah Junction, and that's where we'll find

heart's desire.

And I do believe I see a wagon.

Bernie!

Hallelujah!

What a charming and rustic spot.

Complete with wagon.

And that's where we'll find... Our heart's desire.

Believe it. Open it.

She played us like a drum.

When? Last night?

When you let her slip away.

You let her slip away. That's because I was at your house eating throw.

A hundred bucks?

There's a note.

Dear friends, I hope the hundred dollars will help ease the pain of losing.

After all, if not for you, Earl Jr.

Earl Jr.? And I would never have found out about the money and where it was

hidden so many years ago.

The maternity leave was legit.

Why are you smiling?

There's nothing amusing here. It's depressing.

Earl Sr.

always promised he'd take care of me and my child even if he had to rob a bank

to do it.

We're off to see the places he and I always dreamed of seeing.

Thanks again and good luck.

For Raymond Jr.

For a lousy hundred bucks.
