That's great. Thank you.

Thank you.

Out of here?

Uh -huh.

We've got time to persuade him, so don't... So maybe we can do this one my

Make friends?

Find out what he's like, present the argument reasonably.

Instead of... Instead of deceiving him. If we want him to be honest on the

stand, we should be honest with him here.

I'll call the lawyer, tell her we've located the witness. You go make

6 -15 -11 -20, collect from Bernie Fox.

Hello? Yes, we've got the witness.

Mm -hmm.

We're going to make friends with him, and I'll let him know what testimony you

want. What?

Tomorrow? No, I can't.

I can't.

Okay? I can't. I can't.

Okay.

Hi.

Try one of these.

Succulent. Not too sweet. Right today.

Thanks. I was wondering if you could tell me where's the best place to buy

groceries around here.

Oh, the roadside stands are the best.

The veggies are fresh out of the dirt, and the fruit, well, you tell me.

Any taste buds doing a tango or what?

I like to let them rest for a while now, let the juices settle in.

All good things take time, they say. That's what my mind says, but my

screaming, eat it now!

You like garlic?

Lots of garlic?

Love garlic.

Garlic is good.

Hey, why don't you and your husband join me and a couple of chickens for lunch?

Uh, he's not... Uh... He's a vegetarian.

Well, I make a killer salad. I found some tomatoes, blood red. He'll swear he

died and went to heaven. I'll ask him if he feels like eating. He's dieting. Oh,

pity a man who can't enjoy eating.

It's like living half a life.

Uh, excuse me.

I'm not worried.

Not if you aren't.

I'll see you at the station.

Okay.

So long.

What were you doing to his car?

I thought we were going to do this my way.

Too slow. Lawyer says he has to be on the stand by tomorrow morning or a guy

gets convicted.

If we drive flat out, we can make it.

Gee, I haven't even broken the news to him yet that he's got to go back and

testify. So you've been yakking about lunch?

Look, he has to give life and death testimony. Would you give me a chance to

my thing before you turn into Attila the Hun? Would you quit fighting me and

just do it? Because I want to avoid making what could be a very serious

Talk, talk, talk, talk.

And you just leap in and damn the consequences.

That's because the consequences pay the damn bill.

Hi. Hi.

Hi.

I've got to run into town for a couple of things before lunch.

Bernie, you're...

Uh, Lauren. Lauren has invited us to lunch. Oh, that'd be lovely. We'll be

there. Great. Great.

I'll be back as soon as I can. My stomach's on red alert.

Pack it up. Pack it up.

Where's my car sick pills?

Uh, uh, they're in your pocket.

Don't take too many of them.

They'll make you drowsy.

Okay. Load up the car, okay?

Here.

What's a democracy, Bernie? Freedom of choice?

Does that mean anything to you?

It most certainly does.

You got the money, you can be choosy. You can't force someone to do something

they don't want to do. What about the guy being forced to go to jail if

doesn't testify?

Yeah.

Oh, there he is.

You got your chance to do it your way. You can talk all the way to Vancouver.

I think I ran out of gas. I thought I had enough to get to town anyway.

Well, we're going to go get some beers for lunch. Won't you hop in?

Lucky for me, you came along.

Lucky.

All right.

Sandwich? Don't mind if I do.

Hey,

can you drop me somewhere at the station?

I'll have to. I'll pick up a car.

Well, you should take this turn off here if you want to. Hey, hey, hey, no, no.

You missed it. Sorry.

Sally, wasn't there something that you wanted to talk to Lawrence about?

What's going on here?

We're private detectives, Lawrence.

You know what this is about?

My murder, if you guys aren't careful.

We work for the defense lawyers.

All you have to say is who you saw the night of the murder.

Maybe I didn't see a thing.

You told the police otherwise.

Are we driving all the way? Yep.

Well, you're probably getting hungry, guys.

You know this stuff.

Kidnapping wasn't really necessary to explain the circumstances.

We didn't have a lot of time.

I know. I know.

You were just following his orders.

I understand.

I just hope

one of you two...

Knows what you're doing.

What

happens

if he tells the judge that we coerced him? Our word against his, who gets one

majority rule, that's democracy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, you don't need that. Why?

Because it's been seasoned with carsickness.

What? Did you think that he wasn't going to try and escape?

He said that he would cooperate.

Uh -oh.

What's this?

What's the delay?

It's been a slide. Looks like the road's going to be shut down for the night. Is

there another route to Vancouver?

Just the train, and it's five kilometers that way.

what's happening. That's how we relate. We inform one another of our intentions.

Seems to work well.

Re -ticket coach.

What is birthday party? Would you

be a

little supportive, please?

Jeff and the family.

Wait. I run a quiet train. Make sure he behaves himself.

He's gentle as a lamp. Turn around, turn around, turn around. There we go.

Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

We're alert.

Yeah, we will.

We're on a train.

Do you know what you've done?

I've got to get off the train. Somebody's going to kill me.

Relax.

I don't want a goddamn minute.

I just want to get off the train.

What makes you think that you're in danger?

For starters, I'm traveling with you, too.

Look, I know who did the killing. I saw him.

And he saw me. Don't you understand?

It was a mob hit.

Do you think that they know we've got you?

They've been following me for the past week.

They probably followed the sound of you guys arguing all the way to the station.

Any one of these people?

You two been partners long?

Long enough.

She seems a little drained.

She talks too much. She's nervous.

Attracts attention.

If we're going to survive this trip, maybe you should consider doing it as a

single.

I don't think so.

What do you need her for?

I like her company.

Hired company?

I understand.

Just so you know.

Your partner could get me killed.

Thanks.

I need a drink to wash this down.

That's a grand idea. Calm our nerves, Sally.

Would you?

I'll cover his back.

I can tell this wasn't your idea.

It'll all work out.

If you're not careful, you're going to pick up all his bad habits.

He ignores you.

You ignore me.

Please take a minute to listen. Look, I'm not ignoring you. I see you're in a

tough bind, but what are you going to do? You've got to testify.

Fine, no problem.

I want to testify. It'll be a relief.

Just get me there alive.

You've got to help me.

I'll have a beer, please. Beer's fine, thanks. Your partner's going to get me

killed. He's lost his edge. Easily distracted.

Acts first, thinks later. Well, this time it may be too late.

He doesn't ignore me.

He has his way, I have mine. But we listen.

Excuse me.

I'd feel a lot better in your hands.

That's all.

We're partners. We take turns.

What?

If you say so.

Excuse me. Is there anyone in here?

Please help yourself. Thank you.

Do you know what to drink?

Dry martini.

Dry martini and a whiskey neat.

Thank you.

Are you traveling alone?

Yeah, I'm on business.

You? Alone.

My pleasure.

Sorry, I didn't have time to bring any money.

Oh. Okay, I'll put it on my expense account.

By the way, in my opinion, you're not as naive as he said.

Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.

No, no, I'd like to hear this.

Excuse me.

Hey, I said excuse me, waiter. I'm dying to thirst back here.

Hey, slow down, buddy.

Step aside.

Did you see that?

Yeah, yeah, I did.

Where the hell did he go? It's him. I recognize him.

He's going to nail me.

Vancouver, beautiful.

If you know where to go, you need somebody to show you around.

Well, actually, I don't know anyone there.

Come from here.

Let me give you my business card.

I'll give you my number.

Celine. Bernie.

Why don't you order me another one? I'll be right back.

You have to do something.

You.

See how easily he gets distracted.

Wow! No bullet holes yet. Hey, you didn't get the plug, huh?

They're about to.

Bernie, there's a man with a gun.

That's him.

That's the hitman. That's the man who was with the thugs who threatened

I'm sure.

I'm not getting a little paranoid here. They'll be needing some attention.

Bernie, we have to do something. We got him into this situation.

You take my word without questioning me. I may be naive, but I'm not blind.

He has a gun. He's been in the bar. He's been drinking. He's getting ready to do

something. And if either you do something or... Are we going to take

discuss this now?

Take some action, please.

Unless you've lost your edge.

Bernie, you do something or I will. Okay.

All right. Okay.

I'll talk to him. Okay. Okay. Good.

Thank you.

I better move to another car.

Why? Why?

What happened? He slipped.

I tried to grab him, but he was just too drunk.

Um, excuse me. I'm okay. Guy's taken care of. I gotta get some air.

I didn't know what to do. Are you in Vancouver?

Yeah, I'm looking forward to that.

I thought Lawrence was paranoid.

I should have listened to you.

Yeah, well, maybe.

Okay. Sometimes you ought to.

I'd listen to you.

Where's Lawrence?

What? What?

What? Your hitman is a cop.

Uh -huh, lipstick, and I know this shade. What?

Who kissed you?

I don't know what you're talking about. That's my life savings.

Yeah, you found it on the train?

Uh, I had it with me all along.

You didn't have money for drinks earlier.

I don't think that's your life savings. I think it's a payoff.

Hush money.

Be arriving in Vancouver shortly, folks. Please collect all your valuables.

Vancouver next. Vancouver.

There we are.

Sir Lawrence, the guy gets convicted and you get paid.

What would you do?

I wouldn't let money cloud my judgment.

If you don't testify, we will.

no money it wasn't the money i

just didn't want to die just take the money or take a hit what happened

lawrence has decided to testify yeah that's fine but the money what happened

money you threw the money out didn't you now we have no evidence to prove that

he took a bribe

You a tripper?

I've had better.

Hey, how's the trip?

Lauren,

don't say anything.

I'm not going to say anything.

They got no proof.

I'm sorry, Lawrence. It doesn't matter. I'm wearing a wire.

And you are under arrest for conspiracy to perjure. Let's go. Come on, move it.

You're a cop?

She's a cop?

Sir, you're under arrest for assault on a police officer.

I'm under arrest?

This is a misunderstanding.

Two broken legs. It's a misunderstanding.

He's under arrest. He's under arrest. He's under arrest.
