They'll go into Vegas to be with Lou Malick?

I can get to him in ways you can't. It is Mr.

Malick. I can guess by all the nice things I've heard about you.

Especially your tact.

Lucy J.

Grandpa. Stephen, you all right? How much time does your grandson have?

Come on.

Police, please.

I might have some answers for you after this.

You sure?

Hey, sorry I made such a thing about going tonight.

I had a terrific time. I mean it. It was a good dinner. I'm not talking about

dinner. I'm talking about him.

I know what the world thinks of my grandson.

But I'll tell you, Kate, he's a beautiful, basic man.

He's never disappointed me, and I've never seen him hurt anyone.

And he orders excellent wine.

And he's proud of you.

Not that I blame him.

I'll see you upstairs.

Uh -uh.

I got a chemistry final tomorrow.

I'll be up all night if I want to get any kind of grade.

Just, uh, for a few minutes?

Tonight I have character.

Tomorrow night, I'm a pushover.

I'll see you for lunch right after the exam.

He didn't show up for lunch. I knew something was wrong.

Why don't we just step into my office here, Miss Harper?

How well did you know this Stephen Glass?

We've been going together for the past two years.

When he graduates, we're going to be married.

I see.

Was he particularly tense or nervous last night? No.

He was relaxed.

Loose. We both were.

We had dinner at the Brentshire Inn with a friend.

Miss Harper, you understand that just because a young man hasn't contacted you

for 12 hours doesn't necessarily mean that he's missing.

I know something's happened to him.

His books, he didn't just drop them in that parking lot.

Miss Harper, does Steve's family have money?

He's always paid his own way.

He's gone all through college on scholarships.

Does he have any enemies on campus?

No. He was president of the student body last year.

He was very popular. Excuse me, you still haven't quite answered my

Does Steve come from a wealthy family?

Steve's mother and father were both killed in an auto accident.

Does he have any other relatives?

A grandfather.

And what's his name?

What's his name, Miss Hopper?

Morris Hirsch.

The Maury Hirsch?

Does...

Hirsch know about his grandson?

I don't think so. Again!

Maybe it'll help to remember.

Now you tell Mr.

Hirsch, and you tell him fast, who left the note on his car. I told you I don't

know. I can't watch everybody.

Chauffeurs come in for limousines, the car rental people come in for pickup.

Chauffeurs, car rental, Cox's army walks in and out of garage, and you don't ask

any questions?

I usually know the people. How am I supposed to know who they were?

Yeah?

Tell him I'm not dressed.

Tell him to come over in five minutes.

Here.

Wipe the wound off your face. Clean yourself up. Vito, give him a hundred.

And understand, keep your mouth shut.

Yes, sir, Mr. Hirsch.

Cops.

How'd they get on me so already?

Maury, slow down, Maury.

Stevie.

Stevie, why they do this to him?

Such a good boy, such a sweet boy. Maury, take some water and then take

pill. If I ever find out who did this. Maury, the doctor said you shouldn't

be here. You should be in a hospital. Hospital? That's my grandson they've

Two million dollars if you want to see him alive.

We'll get him back, Maury. We'll get him back.

With my life, we'll get him back.

I never let anything touch him.

I never let him see what we knew.

He's got no scars to hide from the world.

Mr. Hirsch, we're with the police department.

I'm Sergeant Crowley. This is Sergeant Anderson.

She's a sergeant? How do you do, Mr. Hirsch?

What a waste.

Could we come in, please?

Thank you.

Hi.

Well, what's the new complaint?

The white government requested that I fly in for my extended vacation in

and so here I am, Morris Hirsch in person.

There's no complaint, Mr. Hirsch.

We're here because your grandson, Steve Glass, has been missing since 11 o

'clock last night.

What do you mean, missing?

Well, I mean, he didn't show up this morning at the university for an

examination, and he didn't show up this afternoon for a date with his

girlfriend.

We can't locate him.

Well, you know, nowadays, kids, he's probably out playing around. As a matter

fact, he's phoned me every day since I arrived.

Has he called you today, sir? Oh, he'll phone me this afternoon, you'll see.

Uh, Mr. Hirsch, uh, Steve's girlfriend... Kay.

Her name's Kay. We met.

Mm -hmm.

She came by to see us a little while ago. She said your grandson means a

deal to you.

Look, it's none of your damn business how I feel about my grandson.

Yes, well, you see, Mr. Hirsch, we don't think anybody would have come near

Steve Glass if he weren't your grandson.

What do you think, I'm to blame?

It's my fault?

I'm responsible?

I'll tell you whose responsibility it is.

It's on TV, those newspapers, printing all that garbage about my running away

Europe, tax evasion, $5 million.

Well, of course, some crackpot will get an idea.

Have you already heard from some crackpot, sir?

Look, Mr. Hirsch, there's a possibility, and I mean a strong possibility, that

your grandson has been kidnapped.

Now, we've alerted the FBI, and they're assisting in the investigation.

But if that's the case...

then we, you and I, are going to need each other's help.

Listen, Sergeant, I'm going to tell you something.

Both of you.

Ever since I was a boy, your people harassed me.

I didn't need them then, and I don't need you now.

So, uh, please, do you mind leaving? It's very important that we know.

How much time does your grandson have?

I've got nothing to say to you.

Get out

Incidentally

if you do hear from your grandson would appreciate a call

You don't need any more favors, so the hell with Maury Hirsch, huh?

Yeah.

Well, thanks a bunch.

Oh, that miserable two -bit hood.

They're all lice.

Every one of them.

Tony D 'Angelo.

Used to come crawling here for nickels and dimes, huh?

Now he's a big man in the textile industry and I can't get him on the

Mel Waxman needed money for a new book. I put out every cent. Now he owns half

the town and he can't help me because he has a cash flow problem.

Take it easy, Maury. Take it easy, Maury. He's not your grandson.

Lou Malik, Vegas.

Louie. Maury.

It's good to hear your voice. We missed you.

How are you, my friend?

I heard the news about the boy.

I want you to know, I can get $50 ,000 to you right away.

Louie, it's good to know I've got one friend.

But $50 ,000 isn't going to help. The asking price is $2 million.

Two? That's a big score.

Louie, it's Stevie.

You remember him, my Marilyn's boy. May she rest in peace.

Sure, I remember him. He's a nice boy.

Good boy.

I don't care what it costs to get him back.

Louie, when we sold the hotel, you got over

four million for your share. I'd like to borrow half.

More, you know, I'd do anything for you. I could, but Allie's divorcing me and

every cent of mine is tied up by her lawyer.

And I'm having a little trouble with the gaming commission also.

Maury, do you have any idea who pulled this off?

No, no, not yet.

All right, I'll put out some feelers and see what I can find out.

Louie, please, telephone me the minute you know anything, huh?

I've only got till eight tonight.

They said 8 o 'clock. What's the matter with them?

All right, take it easy. Look, you try giving me another pill, I'll break your

leg.

Yeah, hello.

Yeah.

Yeah, this is Maury Hirsch.

Speak a little louder so I can hear you.

You better get it straight if you want to see the boy again.

You hear me?

Go on.

The money's to be clean, unmarked.

I'll get back to you tomorrow and tell you where to make the drop off.

I'd be expecting to come up with that kind of money in 24 hours.

You crazy?

Hang on.

Says he needs more time to come up with the money.

Didn't take him more time to get away with the two million.

Tell him we want the money tomorrow or it's over with the kid.

No, it's not on our show. We gotta check it out.

Hirsch? Yeah?

I'll get back to you at 8 o 'clock tomorrow night.

Same phone.

I don't know how much time I can give you.

Look, you want the money, don't threaten me.

How do I know you've got the boy?

We got him, Hirsch.

Listen, punk.

You won't see a penny unless I talk to the boy.

Get him over here.

Grandpa?

Stevie.

Stevie.

Stevie, you all right?

They didn't hurt you, did they?

They haven't hurt me, Grandpa.

I'm fine.

Stevie. Stevie, don't worry. If they lay a finger on you, I'll... You'll hear

from us tomorrow night.

Listen. Listen, please. Let me talk to him for another minute.

Just one minute, please.

12 by 52 to 12 by 50.

Rich picked up the call, and he's heading north toward the valley.

Stay with him.

Oh, good to

see you again.

Oh, it's been such a long time. You know, I heard you were back, and I've

wondering, well, when is he going to come in here? And now here you are.

Come inside.

Yeah, I'm all right, Mama.

I'm fine.

Vieni, vieni. Come back to your old table.

Proprio là.

Al tuo posto solito.

Hey, I read you've been to Spain, eh?

What's the matter? You couldn't go to Italy?

Avete Firenze, Venezia, la bella Napoli? I mean, as long as you had to get out

of the car. I need help there.

Very bad.

Who's been running around town, shooting off his face about big money?

I don't know.

Come on, you know it, I know it. As soon as the guys get into town, they make a

beeline for your place.

No, no, no, no, no. It's all different now, Maurizio.

How different?

I mean, you always manage to come up with some news.

The police started rousting everybody.

None of the boys will even poke their heads in here anymore.

Take a look.

It's all a different kind of business.

It's all neighborhood trade.

Mama. Maurizio.

Look, you know how much I like you, eh?

I remember all you did for me and Aldo. But times have changed.

Oh!

Excuse me a moment.

Buonasera.

Anything wrong, Sergeant?

No, it's fine.

Allora, stasera si mangia, eh? Buon pranzo.

Oh, faccio delle ravioli freschissimi. Ah, lo credo, si.

Oh, peccato. A più tardi, eh? Si, grazie.

Hello, Mr. Hirsch. Mr. Hirsch.

Two people understand.

I asked you to stay away from me. Keep off my back.

I figured you might come out here for a little information. Unfortunately, Mama

doesn't have so much information anymore.

I think we can do better.

Could we talk to you alone, Mr. Hirsch?

It's the organized intelligence from the FBI. Keeps tabs on every hood that

comes in and out of the state.

Anybody with a record?

I got some pictures I want you to look at.

See if you recognize anybody that might give you trouble.

Big ideas.

Anybody?

These last three here just came in this past week.

Nick Pappas.

Frank McGuire. They just got out of San Quentin about a month ago.

Joe Carver. Just got out of Joliet.

All three of them are dangerous.

And they're very hungry.

Quite a performance.

There's somebody there he recognized.

Yeah, but who?

Pappas and McGuire.

Of course.

Who else would they be working for?

Even in the Bahamas, they were Louie's boys.

Louie Malick. Long distance from Las Vegas. He almost had me crying. Couldn't

enough for me.

I don't get it. Why would Malick want to put the screws on you?

How do I know?

What are we waiting for? Let's go to Vegas and handle him. Sure, sure. Then

never see Stevie alive.

Vito, use your head.

Look, why don't you go out and get something to eat?

Maury.

Maury, you haven't eaten yet.

It's not good for you. You know what the doctor said.

When I'm hungry, I'll eat.

And I'll outlive that leech of a doctor.

Will you please go?

All right, but don't worry. We'll bring you back something.

Norris residence.

Mr. Norris, please.

Maury Hurst calling.

One moment, please.

Yes, Maury.

Hello, David.

How are you?

Fine.

That's good.

Listen, David.

Maury, I can't talk right now. We're giving a party. You know, Alma.

If something's worrying you about the case, I'll call you in the morning.

David, it's got nothing to do with the taxes.

Now, listen to me.

Your firm has a representative in Switzerland.

I need his name.

I'll wire the bank. I want him to pick up two million, get on the first plane

out, and be here by tomorrow night.

Maury, you've got to be insane.

If that money's brought into the country, you'll go to jail for the rest

life. Look, I don't care what happens to me. My grandson's life is at stake.

I need the money within 24 hours or less.

Yeah, Maury, I heard about the boy, and I'm sorry.

But I'm not going to put anyone working for me in that position.

We're a respectable law firm, not runners for illegal money.

David, if I could trust anybody, I wouldn't be calling you.

Listen, Maury, we're handling your tax case with the government, but... If you

want to hire another firm?

Now listen to me, you North Shore punk.

Don't pretend that you haven't done my dirty work all these years and made a

of money at it. Now I'm asking you to do something human.

Is that too much for a North Shore punk?

I can't talk any longer, Maury.

You'll have to get the money from some of your friends.

Bill me for the advice!

This is... This is Mr. Hirsch, Bungalow 3.

Get me a taxi.

him what he wanted to know. Now he keeps me sitting here like an office boy.

Well, I'm sure what he's checking out's important.

Give a man a badge and suddenly he's a big shot.

Sheldon.

Sheldon, when you wanted to go to work in Nevada and you needed permission from

your parole officer, I went to bat for you. Remember that?

Huh?

Okay, well, I know. I want the favor returned.

Sergeant Anderson has to be working at the Palmetto tomorrow.

Okay, it's more like it. She'll be there in the morning, in your office.

Yeah, and she's working under the name of, uh... Joanne Marlowe.

Joanne Marlowe.

Yeah.

Sheldon, take my word for it.

She's no dog.

Thanks.

You really know how to turn a girl's head.

Yeah, and that ain't all.

Mr. Hirsch, will you come in, please?

Less than 24 hours and you keep me waiting? Yeah, well, let's talk about

You're gonna have to stall him, Mr. Hirsch.

Tell him you got part of the money, but it'll take another day or so to get the

rest. You know, sometimes, like now, I feel I ought to go to Vegas and handle

this myself.

Yeah, let me remind you that you're under federal injunction not to leave

state, okay?

Oh, my dear God.

It's so slow, so slow.

Yeah, I know it must seem very slow, sir, but believe me, we know what we're

doing.

I'd like some water.

I'll get it.

Mr. Hirsch.

Tell me about Mr. Malick's women.

At a time like this, you want me to tell you about his love life? Here you go.

Sir, if we're going to find your grandson, I'm afraid Sergeant Anderson's

to have to get close to Lou Malick.

You're going to Vegas to be with Lou Malick?

I can get to him in ways you can't.

You're some person.

Tell me about his women. I understand there have been quite a few.

Well, they're the same type.

Cold.

Hard to guess.

Right up your alley.

And one, two, three, four. Two, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four.

two, three, four. Now slowly, seductively, please. Now hit him with

Watch him.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Excuse me. Should we start again?

Yes, yes. I'm sorry.

Kathy, please.

Okay, now let's take it and smooth out rough edges, and we'll take it from the

shake.

I thought I told you if we had an opening, put in the Marisela kid.

Yeah, I know, Lou, but the blondes worked for me before.

Miami, a couple of other shows. She's reliable, and I needed someone right

Sheldon, my Kelly.

Today I want you to put in the Marisela kid.

I mean, I want you to put in the Marisela kid.

You can lodge me in an area, correct?

Correct, Mr.

Malick.

It is Mr.

Malick.

I can guess by all the knife.

Things I've heard about you, especially your tact.

Tell Miss Mozzarella she goes on tonight with my blessings.

I need this job like I need a hole in the head.

Wait a second.

Shelly, save it till you got something with a little more class.

You.

Rehearse.

It's a good thing we're friends, Shelly.

Let's rehearse one more time, girl.

You really must have something, honey.

This is the first time Malick's been in the lounge in weeks.

I'm all tooth flesh.

Aren't you playing a bit over your head, little lady?

I'm winning.

I've never seen such a money.

Isn't that a hotel running short of cash?

You can do yourself a lot of good.

Maybe I'm not interested in doing myself a lot more good.

Why, your friend?

Several.

Wait now.

I'm on a streak.

It'll get even better.

Are you so sure?

No idea.

Ralph, do me a favor.

Cash these in.

And add 500.

I'm going to come out the cage for Miss Joanne Marlowe.

You're a very attractive woman, Joanne.

Difficult, but attractive.

Well, when you want one, you get the other.

What do you have?

Scotch. No ice, no water.

You know what you need is someone to take care of you in style.

Name it, and you got it.

Well, you're really a slow operator.

It's always been a big problem with me.

Ginger.

Girl, tell me your ex -wife got all your marbles.

And if they take a look at your books, don't you have enough trouble without

I can handle it.

Excuse me.

There are resources.

Hello.

I told you not... I'll see you downstairs, Joanne, all right?

I don't mind waiting.

I'll see you down in the casino.

Short cord ship, baby.

He just got a call and threw me out.

Heads up.

An executive phone booth.

Something stinks.

I gave Hirsch the extra 24 hours, like you told me. Then he gives me a big song

and dance about the money having to be flown over from Switzerland.

He needs more time.

He got the kid what he worried about.

It sounded phony, like he was setting us up for something.

I don't like it, Lou.

Lou, I know Hirsch.

He swindled out of two million on that Palmetto deal.

And he's gonna do it again.

All right, next time you talk to them.

And if we don't have the money by midnight, there won't be any more phone

I'll call you back after the drop.

Well, here he comes.

We didn't finish that drink.

Straight scotch for the lady. Forget it. The lady doesn't like being barfed at.

See you.

Sometimes.

He's spelling alleged with one L.

Well, I don't know, mate, Captain. I like it down here with a two.

Darling. Bill, it's me.

Sit.

Pep. You've got to sit on Hirsch.

For how long?

I need another 24 hours.

Pep, I'm getting a lot of pressure from this guy.

Bill, we're working as fast as we can. Malick is nobody's fool.

He makes his contacts from a pay phone, and we've got to trace one of those

calls if we're going to find Steve Gladys.

I just don't know how much longer I can sit on him.

Put cold towels on him, anything. Just make sure he stays where he is.

Okay.

I got Myers on him now. I'll get Pete on him around the clock.

Please. Please, let me talk to him.

Just for a minute.

Listen, please, let me talk to him. Just one minute, please.

Please.

Come on, give me a break.

Look, you didn't give me any time at all. What do you want from me?

Look, just a little more time, that's all, huh?

Please, a little more time.

And I'm begging you.

Come on!

Yeah, Maury?

Deadline, sir.

Twelve midnight.

That's it.

Did you make all the arrangements?

Yes, everything's set. We'll be in Vegas by 10 .30.

There's still cops, boy. You've got to be an idiot to rely on them.

Maricia, get him a bowl with lots of rich sauce and plenty more coming.

As a matter of fact, Rudy is going to help you. He's our best waiter.

Nice fellow. Like I always say, go for the best in food, service, and

atmosphere. You'll see.

I hope that makes up for my lack of tact.

You're kidding.

This went out with what they used to call the sugar daddies.

Yeah, but they're for real.

Then give them to your ex -wife.

She can wear them to the supermarket.

You know, Joanne, you could do a lot better if you get that chip off your

shoulder. I told you I got no complaints. Cool down, Lou.

Pour us a drink.

What are you working for?

Keeps me off the street.

And it's good for the ankle.

Look, I can hardly breathe for the stock, the jewelry.

Tomorrow I'll drive you downtown and we'll look at some real estate.

I'll think about it.

When are you going to stop stalling?

Tell you what, Lou.

I might have some answers for you after the flicking show.

If you can hang on that long.

Chin chin.

Yes, sir. This is the telephone repair service. I just repaired a break in your

line. It was reported out of order, and there have been several emergency phone

calls from area code 311.

311? Yes, sir. Did you get a name?

No one left a name or number.

But now that your service is restored, they'll probably be calling back.

If there's any more trouble, please let us know.

All right. Thank you.

Hey, Joe.

How's it going?

Oh, fine.

Miss Marlowe did fine.

She'll be going to the public telephone in a little while.

Hey.

Joe, get over there and see what you can do. I'll keep an eye out for Malik.

I've got to get that number. Right.

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Who are you, part of the floor show?

Police, investigative styles.

It says California.

This isn't a valley.

Believe me, Mr. Hirsch, it's good here.

What do you want me for?

I've just been notified that you're about to leave the country.

Leave?

What the hell are you talking about?

Which means I have to take you into custody as a fugitive.

Wait a minute.

Remember.

In your bail agreement, you were instructed by the court not to leave the

of California.

You're under arrest, Mr. Hirsch. Get this guy out of my way. Come on.

That's terrific.

Now, you two are aiding and abetting in his unlawful flight.

I have to place everybody under arrest.

Get him.

Easy. Easy.

Turn around.

Well, isn't it sweet?

Hey, Deputy, give me a hand here.

Hi, Mr. Hirsch. Good to see you again. Ralph, how are you?

Fine, fine.

What's the problem?

This California cop has been rousting me and my business associates.

I asked you to give me a hand.

Now, where's your security officer? Now, hold it, buddy. I'm not a cop. I work

for the hotel.

Whatever you are, buddy.

If you don't give me a hand to help get to the office so I can phone the

sheriff, there'll be blood all over this carpet.

Now, where's your security office?

Okay, folks, everything's under control. Have a good time, all right?

I'll show you where the office is at.

I'm sure not going to make any phone calls.

What do you mean, what's going on here?

You called me on the private line again.

Lou, what are you talking about?

We didn't call anybody.

We did exactly what you said. We told her she had until midnight.

Somebody called me from that line.

It wasn't us.

You guys be ready to move at any moment here.

We may have problems, and if we have, you know what to do. Don't worry, Lou.

We'll get rid of him.

Right.

Get rid of him.

He's the only evidence.

Operator. Operator, this is Sergeant Pepper Anderson, police officer.

Local? No, out of state, registered.

I see. I'll have to ask for your code and number.

311 -794.

794.

Right. Well, thank you. And how may I help you?

There was a phone call placed from this phone just a few minutes ago, and it

might have been out of state, probably to the 311 area. I'd like you to run a

trace on that call.

When you get the number back...

notify Sergeant William Crowley, that's C -R -O -W -L -E -Y at this number, 311

-555 -9000.

He'll have the subpoena.

Thank you.

It's the police. They want me to run a tracer.

He took them to the security office at gunpoint.

Did you help, too? With Hirsch? Are you kidding?

Are they there now?

The cop insisted the sheriff take them downtown. They just left.

Sheriff Hirsch and two men.

Yeah?

Sergeant Pepper Anderson, please.

Sergeant who? What are you talking about? The police officer who just used

phone. I have some information for her from a Sergeant Crowley in California.

She just used this phone.

There's no police officer.

Telephone call for Miss Anderson.

Miss Pepper Anderson, please.

Telephone call for Miss Anderson.

Miss Pepper Anderson, please.

Yes, did you have a page for Miss Anderson?

I have your phone call, sir.

Canceled.

Canceled? Yes, ma 'am.

Well, do you know who it was or where it came from?

No, ma 'am.

Do you know if it was from in the hotel or outside?

Outside phone, ma 'am.

Is there any way to trace it?

Pepper, where have you been? I've been looking for you. all over for you. How

about it? You'd be up there with another little drink.

Who's Pepper?

You are, Sergeant Adams.

Hey, Bob, it'd be good for the ankle.

Nobody.

Hey, Matt, have you seen a Marlowe girl?

I was glad you were dealing too early. Oh, yes, yes.

I saw her go upstairs to the boss.

Hey, wait a minute. I wouldn't go up there now.

I think the boss is burning about something.

Not this time, buddy.

What are you going for, huh? Come on, get up, get up. Get up. Get up.

Put your hands on your head. Don't even think about it. Put your hands on your

head. Don't touch it. That's right. That's good, boy.

Somebody

better

call an ambulance for this guy.

How is he?

He's not hurt bad, is he? Well, he had a pretty bad beating, Mr. Hirsch. He'll

be okay.

And the mental part, emotionally,

what happened? He'll be okay?

He's strong, Mr. Hirsch.

I know him.

But... But what?

He said something.

He heard something about some dealings between you and Mr. Malick when you

filled the hotel.

We know about that.

Mr. Hirsch. Two million dollars.

Lou Malek told us. Dr.

Burroughs, please call 125 West. Well, there are reasons behind that story.

have to tell the police. That's right, you will.

I'll have to tell Stevie.

But it's okay between him and me.

There he is.

Dr. Warren, 521 West.

Dr. Warren.

Steven,

I never meant for it to happen like this.

I never meant for you to be hurt because of what I was.

Steven, you know how much I love you.
