Ready.

Freeze! Get your hands out of the inside of your body!

Right, son.

Stop right there, son.

451. Over.

Business is picking up, eh, Slipper?

451 standing by.

Is that you, Pirelli?

Yep. Look at this. It's just work, work, work for you, eh?

Check it out, will you?

Go, mate.

I'm going to call it Darling Point.

Go.

Just as well I might I was gonna make you clean up the garbage

What is that smell?

Prawns, I think.

Why, the bun I have for.

Thanks.

Good afternoon.

I'm Detective Constable Fiorelli.

This is Detective Sergeant Cody.

How do you do?

Hi.

We've got a report of an alarm going off here.

Come in.

Yes, my husband turned it on.

Gentlemen, that was quick.

Yeah, we were just down the road.

Your wife said you turned the alarm on. That I did. We came in from shopping and

look at this.

Gone, just gone.

We came in, everything's locked and the damned alarm didn't even go off.

So I gave it a bit of a blast myself to call you fellas.

I might just have a look around, eh?

Now, why would they just take this one?

Because they knew what they were doing.

It was the only picture of real quality I ever owned.

It was a Chagall.

A Chagall? A Chagall.

Right.

Now, what's that smell?

Digger's gone and shat on the carpet again. Can't you keep him out of here?

I'm going to need to take a look around.

Might need to use the phone.

Get the fingerprint boys here. Bloody stupid dog. Would you like a cup of tea?

You took your time.

You're still here, Slipper.

Thought you would have bowled it by now.

Now, that's my kind of crime.

Nice cup of tea in the garden.

Nice old people. Not violent.

How do you reckon they got in?

If he's chasing lowlifes around like you, Slipper, do you want to roll down

window? You're on the nose.

He's right.

The two of them are from the 23rd.

Except for two days.

Who's prosecuted?

Barney. Oh, terrific.

Slipper will be out by Christmas. We can do it all over again.

Hey, Simmer.

Gentlemen.

Nice quick work on that speed factory.

Oh, thanks.

It's about that painting that was knocked off from the almond house.

I was expecting this.

Don't worry, Cody. Just toss it across the major crime.

I've told them it's coming.

What for?

What do you mean, what for? So they can follow it up.

Why swing it to them?

I can do it.

Tony and I will call it out.

You want it?

Of course I want it.

What am I, just Mr. Gutter Cop around here or something?

This is a bit of a change of style for you, isn't it?

What do you know about art?

See what I mean?

You sure you're up to this? It's awfully, uh, chic in there, Cody.

Well, I'll take my chances.

Okay.

Katie, what are you doing?

I reckon I need a shave.

We don't bugger all about art.

It's not our saying they aren't experts for this.

So, we're experts.

Weren't you the bloke that topped the exams at the academy?

Some of them.

Well, there you go.

Think of it as a bit of a change.

A bit of an education turn.

You might even learn something.

I was just talking to the Fed.

Have a guess what the world's biggest crime market is in dollar terms.

Drug. Correct.

And the second bigger?

Armament. Guns.

Art. Kidding.

Bigger than guns by a mile.

Bigger than gems.

Cars. Gold.

Really starting to enjoy this.

Good morning.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm Detective Sergeant Cody.

This is Detective Constable Fiorelli.

Yes. You're the one I spoke to.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'd like to ask you some questions about the Chagall.

The young one said you're holding the provenance file.

Sure, it's in the office.

Like a little drink. Oh, no, thanks. We're on. Yeah, I'd be great.

I'll go and get it for you.

You weren't here.

Wow.

Go for sale?

Go on.

Like bad you?

Oh, yeah.

You lend me the money.

Here it is.

Do you know this picture?

Yeah, it's great.

You should see the real thing.

Only about this big, but so beautiful.

Yeah, it must be really filming.

With the sugar, that's enough.

You paint the pictures you can never forget.

Yeah, I've been reading about this bloke.

He knew a lot about art.

Well, he knew about love and sex and childhood and dreams.

I'll tell you what.

I'd knock it off.

Well, anyone with half a chance would.

It's a great picture.

C .J. and Nan bought it through us in 1985.

They've been buying since my parents' day.

Nothing but the best.

All the tastiest Nans, of course.

C .J. knows a lot about cattle, but bugger all about art.

So how much do they pay for it?

1 .13.

Better be worth a truckload by now.

How much?

Anything up from three million, depending who you talk to.

The only real way to find out is to put it to auction. See, his hand goes up.

He should speak to Nicky, no?

Who's Nicky?

Nicholas Geffen.

You must have heard of him.

He's an expert on sugar.

What, he steal it?

He kill his mother for it.

Last time it was stolen, he was frantic for weeks.

It's been stolen before.

Yes, it was ransomed.

CJ paid a lot of money to get it back.

Didn't they tell you?

What?

Okay, just tell him I said.

How's the big fella?

Huh? What did the vet say?

Would you like a cup of tea?

No, thanks. We're pretty busy.

What's it going to cost me?

Are you sure?

Yes, thanks.

Right, now, tell Dan to ring me.

Bye.

Oh, sorry about that.

What were you saying?

Mr. Unwin, this painting's been lifted before. Why didn't you tell us?

What difference would it have made?

Have a look.

It's gone.

That's what you have to worry about.

How much did you pay to get it back, Mr. Unwin?

To tell you the truth, I didn't pay anything.

The insurance company did.

Okay. Okay, let's hear it.

How did this work exactly?

Well, a few days later, we got a ransom note.

No police, that sort of thing.

It asked for $50 ,000.

I told the insurance fellow.

What insurance fellow?

The investigator.

He was terrific.

A week later, it was back there on the wall.

Did you tell the police?

Yeah, Nan rang them and told they could stop looking for it.

Oh, my insurance rates went through the roof.

Mr. Unwin, we'd really appreciate it if you didn't do any backdoor deals while

we're investigating.

There's no chance of that. We haven't been contacted.

But you will tell us if they do, won't you?

I can't promise you that, son, if it means getting my picture back.

What was the name of this insurance operator?

Yeah, it was back in, uh, 18 -what?

Yeah, 85.

I had a call from the old boy's insurance company.

He just received a ransom note, and, uh... I went over there and arranged for

the handover. Yeah.

He got his painting back and it only cost my client 30 grand.

I charged him half of that myself.

It's a million dollar painting.

Yeah, but they were only in that house five minutes.

Six grand a minute's not a bad return.

How'd they get in this site?

Took some tiles off the roof.

Went in through the top bathroom.

They must have had a hot box.

Because the alarm didn't go off.

Let's see if C .J. Wright was scrimping on security. You know, I told him.

He's a tight old bastard.

Well, thanks.

If the insurance company gets on to you this time, you'll let us know, won't

you? Yeah, sure.

You at Central?

Hmm.

Is Timmy Baker still there?

Yeah.

He's a nice bloke, Tim.

He and I were at Coochie together.

At the handover.

Why didn't you stake it out?

Would have been just as easy to grab them.

Come on.

I got the painting back. I handed over the money.

What's in my business to arrest people?

That's your job, isn't it?

If they get another ransom date, I'll contact them straight away.

Yeah.

Well, if you're a private D, would you?

No.

Nor would I.

I told him you wanted to talk to him.

He's the one with the tie.

Thank you.

Mr. Geffen, did you steal it?

It hasn't been stolen at all.

CJ's hidden it somewhere. He's going for the insurance.

It's his last chance.

At what?

He's broke.

We've been there.

He's certainly not, right?

That's all Jamie's.

Their oldest son. Besigned over years ago. Without doubt, Jamie is the world's

most useless human being.

He is busy losing every penny CJ ever made. You want a crime? That's a crime.

Claudia. I know Claudia, darling.

Could you fill this up for me? I'm not here to look after your empty glasses.

Oh, guess what we have here?

A pair of police persons.

Yes, I know.

They're a bit worried about CJ's old cigar.

They want me to give it back. I said, no way, copper.

Stick to the tar.

Hey.

You didn't get his champagne?

No.

Would he steal it?

Yes, he would.

What about the young ones?

What do you know about them?

Oh, you know what you hear? The gossip.

And what's that?

Well, CJ is very tough.

When he's in trouble, he's capable of anything.

What put him in that wheelchair?

He had a minor stroke a few years ago.

There's an insurance investigator, a private detective called Martin

You know him?

Of course.

He's here somewhere.

Wow.

Everyone knows everyone.

That's right.

What do you know about him?

Well, he got the Chagall back for them last time.

I don't like him.

Hello, darling.

What about him?

Maybe he's stolen.

Don't joke.

He might have.

No one's sweeter?

Nothing. We were just talking about you.

Were you?

Sad. A little over time?

Yeah.

How'd you lift the suspects?

Growing.

And it all went the way back.

Bye -bye.

How do you tell if someone's a great artist?

They do great works of art.

Well, how do you know if it's a great work of art?

It's done by a great artist.

I knew you were going to say that.

A great work of art is like a rhinoceros.

Very difficult to define, but... But if one's coming at you, you know what it

is. Surely.

But if I had a famous painting that was stolen, I couldn't hang it on my wall.

Everybody knows it's hot. That's right.

It would have been hidden away, the chagall, in a vault, in a basement

somewhere.

So it just vanishes.

There are... Many beautiful pieces of art out there, Cody, concealed in the

dark. No one ever sees them. No one.

Except the people who own them, who look at them in secret.

I have to leave.

What?

What time is it?

I'll call you.

Hey.

Oh, yeah. Come back here.

Hi,

Cody.

Oh, uh, there was a phone call for you. Uh,

what do you want?

I wouldn't say, uh, she only wanted to speak to you.

Where's Ty?

You mustn't let my husband know I'm telling you this.

Where is he?

He's gone into town.

If he knew this, he'd be furious.

Okay.

We've been contacted.

A phone call.

They said they wanted $100 ,000 for the picture.

Who'd they speak to? C .J. He said it was a man, but he didn't recognize the

voice.

They said they'd ring again, but we haven't heard anything since.

When was this, Mrs. Unwin?

Tuesday. Tuesday? The day after the painting was stolen?

Well, why didn't you let us know sooner?

Well, I...

We discussed it and we decided we'd wait for the next call.

You can understand that.

But we'd heard nothing more.

Does Martin Campbell know about this?

Oh, I haven't told anyone.

Why not?

He got it back for you last time. Maybe he'd do the same again.

You said to tell you and that's what I'm doing.

We'll hear a bit later, yeah?

There's something else going on here, Tony.

She doesn't seem to type, though, does she?

What type?

I reckon she was telling the truth about the phone call, though.

Thought we'd put a tap on the phone.

Put on the quiet.

Good night.

Hello.

You didn't tell me you did this as well.

You didn't ask.

I'm going to be in it there.

Shouldn't I be wearing something better?

If I put you in it, I'll put you in something nice, all right?

Yep.

Well, I'll have to show you my clothes then.

No, sweetie, what's in here is what I decide.

I might decide to burn the house down.

I don't know yet.

I'm doing a new picture. I thought it might be interesting.

Why didn't you use this picture?

Why do you think?

How did you get to be a big wheel in the gallery?

Well, I met Sarah about a week after I got here. We became good friends.

When she took over the gallery, she invited me in.

Oh, she just took it over.

Well, she inherited it from her parents.

She had nothing else to do.

Nice work, if you can get it.

Where do you come from?

Oh, where?

My old man was a drunk.

Bit of a prim.

He was hopeless. He died when I was 15.

And have you always been a cop?

No, I did a lot of things.

Followed him for a bit.

That's all I knew.

When I got out. Oh, so you were a criminal.

Well.

What about your mother?

My mother drives a taxi.

I'd like to meet her.

Well, she sure as heck's never met anyone like you.

Where are you from?

My father is professor of linguistics at the Sorbonne.

My mother is an architect.

And you live in a castle, right?

Well, my uncle does.

What are you doing slumming it here?

How can I leave this?

Look at it.

This is the last there is, Colby.

Oh, Charlie. Hey, mate.

Listen, we got that phone tap to the young ones, 20 -second trace on it. Come

and have a look at this plan.

And we've got a stakeout as well in case CJ decides to go anywhere we go with

him. Also, I got surveillance on the tie.

Get back to the slew of insurance. As you can imagine, he's pretty easy to

follow.

And that Campbell bloke, we're keeping an eye on him too.

Just in case he decides to get involved and not tell us.

What do you reckon?

Cody, did you hear any of that?

Yeah. Yeah, good.

Which one do you like?

Oh, mate, you shouldn't have.

I missed out even my birthday.

What is that, the world's longest necklace?

You'll feel it, mate.

No, it's not a necklace. A chain.

A neck chain.

No. She wears it around her stomach.

You've seen them.

Dangly bit goes there.

So which one do you like?

This isn't for your mother, is it?

Claudia.

That one.

You don't reckon... It's a bit much.

Trust me. What?

She will get a high five for this.

Well, you've obviously done this before.

Yes, I like to look.

My turn.

My place.

Ah.

You know, you might be surprised.

Where's Sarah tonight?

She's gone up on a night.

Come in here, will you?

Something I want you to see.

They're Burmese sapphires.

It's very quaint.

What do you mean, quite?

Well, it's nice.

It's, um... Claudia Batier.

Just a minute, please.

Will you hang up for me? I'm texting the other room.

Come and have a look at this.

You know those guys?

I've never seen them before.

Get out of the car. Get out of the car. Shut up. Put your hands through.

Sweet apart.

Sweet apart, I said.

You, get out. Get out of the car.

Hands away from the body.

Get her out of here.

Get her out of here.

What are you doing here?

What are you watching this place for? Listen, we were here to... Shut up.

Put your hands on the car.

We're federal police, pal. Who the hell are you?

Give me your ID.

Give us it.

Ah, shit.

You want to see me?

Not really.

First off, Cody, I'm on your side, okay?

Oh, this'll be good.

You've got the best instincts of any cop I've ever met.

So what possessed someone to haul two federal detectives out of a car at

gunpoint? Well, how was I to know who they were?

How about you ask?

I could have been anyone.

But they weren't.

An official complaint, Cody. That is what I'm fending off at the moment. I

their senior officer in my ear for 20 minutes this morning.

You're Claudia Bartia. It seems there's some suspicion she might be smuggling

black market art.

No kidding.

Where'd they get that from?

The feds have had her under surveillance. Nothing certain, but they

pretty good case.

What were you doing there in the middle of the night?

Or is that none of my business?

Look... Why don't you work with these guys? You're both after the same result.

I don't think so.

I think we can diplomatically patch this complaint up with an apology, so that's

what you're going to do.

Sima, I'm not too good at apologies.

I know.

But try.

The feds will love it. You know what they're like.

Isn't there some other way?

Oh, come on, Cody, be practical.

If we switch them off now, you'll be all right.

Now go on. I said you'd go over.

Hey.

Take this with you.

It'll look good.

Odie.

G'day.

Look.

About the other night.

All I saw were two blokes sitting in the car.

I own a place where two single women live.

Now, what would you have done?

I've got a .38 up my nose.

What kind of cowboy are you?

So you put in an official complaint.

You feds, you love the red tape, don't you? We could have been shot.

Why didn't you check the intelligence reports?

I'm off duty.

All I saw were two low -life cases adjoined.

So what were you doing in there anyway?

She's helping me with my investigation.

Oh, yeah.

And what about the other one?

Was she helping you a bit too?

You be careful, buddy.

Did you read the file?

And they're a real clever pair.

You're on the wrong track.

How long have you been on this case anyway?

Oh, three months.

Long enough to establish a pattern.

This Barty chick flies off to Paris pretty often.

We think she's bringing stolen canvases back with her.

There's a chance.

She's taking paintings out as well.

Chance? What kind of chance? This is bullshit. You wish.

Hey!

Where's the apology, Cody?

Okay.

Have a look at him.

Her whole view has broadened out lately.

Did you see the bulletin review?

Excuse me, a tea.

Hi. Miss Claudia.

She's not here. She... Where is she?

She left this morning.

Back to that Gaffin bloke again.

You think the pain has let it down? Oh, yeah. What's the basis for that?

Cody, I've been watching.

Look, I like her.

There's something special about her. No doubt about that.

But you've got to be careful, mate.

Back to her. Don't worry about me. I'm a big boy.

It's just...

You're a mate, huh?

And, uh... Somebody wants to see you.

What do I have to do?

Nail your feet to the floor and tell you what to say?

Come on.

Told you I was no good at apologies.

The feds are claiming you insulted them.

Well, just a little bit.

I wouldn't take this so lightly. It could get out of hand.

By rights, I should have suspended you by now.

Yeah, look, I'll go back and have another talk to him.

You sure will.

Meanwhile, and, um... I'm speaking as a friend, okay?

There's a lot of talk going round. I think you know what it's about.

What do I do in my own time?

Hang on, look, I'll back off if you can assure me that there's not a conflict of

interest here.

Okay.

But don't blow it.

So how's your investigation going?

Oh, we've got a few leads.

These things take a bit of time.

I'm a bit embarrassed about this.

I hope you're not following the ransom line too hard. You'd be going up a gum

tree.

What do you mean?

There was no ransom phone call.

Nan gave you a furphy there.

What the hell are you talking about?

Look, son, she was devastated when it went. She loves that picture.

I made up the ransom story. We got it back last time. I thought it might make

her feel better.

Make her feel better?

Where are you coming from?

That phone call is the basis of a major investigation.

Settle down.

No one was trying to fool you fellows.

Why didn't you tell me sooner? I only heard this morning that she told you.

I thought I'd better let you know.

Say I had a black market painting and I wanted to take it out.

How would I do it?

Well, you could fly off and take your chances.

But the best idea is to paint it over.

Put a few kangaroos and gum trees on it and export it normally.

Well, wouldn't that ruin the original? No, it's easy if you've got the right

materials. You go to the airport, you show everyone your terrific Aussie

painting, and underneath could be anything.

Even a Chagall.

Possibly. No, no, I was just wondering where she's staying in Paris.

Well, she must have left one.

Well, where'd she stay last time, Farrah?

Do you have that person?

Yeah, okay.

Thanks.

Have you talked to the feds yet?

Yeah, I am. I will.

Just do it.

What are you doing?

I'm just trying to settle you down.

It's late for apologies now, Cody.

What makes you think I came to apologise?

You're in trouble, pal.

I'm not withdrawing anything.

What else have you got in this smuggling cape you keep talking about?

Would you like to make an official application to look through our files?

Not if it's going to take days.

I need to know now.

Read it and weep.

This way, please. It's along the barrier 66.

Good

morning.

Would you put your bag up?

Is this your name?

Yes, it is.

Is this your signature?

Did you answer these questions yourself?

Yes, I did. What's going on? Is this your bag?

Yes. Did you pack this bag yourself?

Yes. What is this?

Are you fully aware of the contents of this bag?

Well, of course.

Would you open the suitcase, please?

Miss Bardia, I'm Detective Sergeant Bukowski, Federal Police.

This is Detective Constable Kavanaugh.

Well, yes, would you like to tell me what's going on? What are these?

Miss Bardia, we have reasonable grounds to believe that these canvases are

stolen.

You are under arrest.

Now, you're not obliged to say anything unless you wish to. Is anything to your

sake? Excuse me. This is ridiculous.

This is not my bag.

Well, you just agreed it was.

Well, what are these?

All right, these are not my things. This is not my bag. I picked it up by

mistake. You picked up this case. You set up with... Just a minute.

I have a luggage tag on my ticket.

Would you like to see?

Look. Thanks.

Then go and see if there's another bag like this one, will you?

Here, why don't you drive?

Mind if I ask you something?

Go ahead.

What are we doing in Paris?

Visiting my family.

How were they?

Farewell. I'm just telling you.

I am sick of these phone calls.

That picture's been checked by experts for years.

There's obviously something else going on.

Hmm?

What?

Don't you threaten me.

I'm not saying she didn't. I'm just telling you not to jump to conclusions.

fixing it from here.

You've just been talking to your lady boss.

Ann, don't tell me. She chucked you out of her office.

You wish.

From now on, you stay clear of our investigation.

Investigation?

You blokes are going nowhere.

You looked like a pair of dickheads yesterday.

You're at the airport.

Yeah.

Yeah, I was picking up a friend.

That's it, Cody.

You've gone too far.

Just because you're banging it doesn't mean they're going to stop.

Hey.

Hey.

You're looking after her, Cody.

So you're going down too.

I promise you that.

I tried calling you last night.

Your phone out of order?

Yeah, well, it's fixed now.

I probably regret saying this.

So don't say it.

But I'm going to say it anyway.

Wake up to yourself, mate.

Have you seen the intelligence reports?

Listen, Tone, I'm in a gutful of this.

Why don't you mind your own bloody business?

I tried to tell you as a mate, and you didn't listen.

I mean, if I can't tell you, who can?

Just about everybody around here.

Go on. There he is.

What's all this about? I don't appreciate being dragged into places

Shut up. Just follow me.

Um,

am I right?

Let's put it this way, Mr Geffen. You're now officially helping us with our

investigation. Now, when I did law, you had to either arrest me or I could

refuse to answer questions. Is that all right with you?

You're a lawyer. I was.

I still am, I suppose.

But art's better. The conversation's better over lunch.

So is lunch.

Look, how about I fess up to what I know?

Yeah.

The Chagall and the ex -detective.

How's that for a connection?

This Campbell bloke?

I suggest you check way back on him.

Isn't that a coincidence?

He suggested we check up on you.

I bet he did.

What's his connection?

Well, you have to find that out. I'm just being an honest citizen.

I'm saying if you look for the Chagall, he's what you'll find.

How do you know?

Okay. Call this room.

I think Marty arranged for the picture to be stolen.

It was supposed to leave town.

But it didn't end up where it was supposed to.

And where was that?

Paris.

Possibly.

I'm just saying, stick to Marty. See who he meets.

He's looking for the picture, and he's very pissed off.

What do you reckon?

I'll board it.

Yeah, me too.

Let's have a bit of a go at Mr. Campbell.

Yeah, that'll be fine.

Should we take the towel off, Kevin?

No.

What

do

you want?

A few problems.

Well, I'm flat out here, fellas.

What can I do for you?

We thought we might have a bit of a chat.

About what?

Well, I'm not obliged to tell you that, Marty.

But if you wouldn't mind coming with us.

Why, am I under arrest?

Well, not exactly, no.

I got help.

I'm busy.

Okay.

As soon as he's settled with his mate, we'll go in and have a... An hour.

I'm sorry, mate.

I don't know what's going on, Tom.

Cody, whatever it is you're trying to save her from, you

can't save her from yourself.

Oh, that's deep.

That's all I'm trying to say.

So you should try and stay away from her.

Yeah, I know.

But you won't believe me.

Oh, yeah, what are you going to do?

Blast me in a little bit?

What do you want?

Well, Marty, me and my partner thought you were very rude the other day.

Get on with it. I'm in a hurry.

I looked up your file on the computer.

Seems like you got out of the cops just in time, eh?

Nothing was proved.

True.

Because by the time they got into it, you were already gone.

How much was that superannuation figure?

I don't remember.

Oh, I do. It was $141 ,000.

It's a system, don't you reckon?

Corrupt cops get paid a lot of money to walk.

You repeat that allegation in front of a witness and I'll have you in court.

Yeah. Let me run something by you.

You stole the almond chigal.

Now somebody else has got it and they're screwing you for it.

Am I supposed to take this seriously? Go on, get out of my office.

Okay.

You'll be seeing me again.

Oh.

One last thing, Marty.

What's your relationship with Claudia Bautier?

I know her a lot better than you do, Sergeant.

Sure has been, Bernie.

This is a meeting of the Whatever Happened to Cody Club.

I need a written report in detail on all your movements yesterday.

It's for you.

That miserable bastard put in a complaint, didn't he?

I can't discuss particulars, Cody, you know that. But, um, any reprehensible

behavior, official misconduct or assault you got up to yesterday, I'd cover

pretty thoroughly.

I hardly laid a glove on him.

That's enough out of you.

What the hell are you doing? You were supposed to apologise. Now the internal

affairs are in on it. You bastard.

And what the hell were you doing at the airport?

Watching.

If they can show that you're actively jeopardising their investigation, the

angel Gabriel won't save you.

Simone, I'm not deliberately getting in their way.

Tyrone and I are looking for a stolen Chagall.

That's the investigation.

Then find it, Cody, before this whole thing gets out of hand.

Sarah. You all right?

Fine.

Want a drink?

No.

What do you think, Claudia?

I just saw you grab by some guys on the beach.

On the beach?

Sarah, what's going on?

Do you know where she is?

No.

John Gillespie.

Murray John Gillespie?

You know.

What are you doing here?

Look,

Cody, your Murray John Gillespie's got form, all right?

Left a printout on your desk.

Thanks, Don.

First time, you see?

You're still grilling Gillespie.

Don't give me that crap!

The place was a mess.

What are we looking for?

Nothing. You just accidentally chose that place, eh?

Yeah.

How's it is?

I saw you and some other bloke drag Claudia Batier into your car at the

yesterday.

What was all that about?

Wasn't me.

Who are you working for?

Break and enter.

Trepidus.

Assault!

Abduction. Resist arrest.

Still not talking, pal?

Where is she?

Who's running this guy?

I'd put my money on Campbell.

Yeah, me too.

All right, so do some more questioning.

I mean, he'll collapse. He's not so tough.

I'm going to let him go, Tom.

Why? We follow him.

He's got to make contact with his boss, hasn't he?

All right, so we charge him, get him up in court, arrange bail.

Why muck around with lawyers?

It'll take days.

They're putting him on the street again.

It's too much of a gamble.

No, I thought it was a very good exhibition, and... Where is she?

She turned up?

Yeah.

All right, I'll hold.

Well, look, we'll have to talk next week.

Claudia, let's go. I need to talk to you.

Oh, I can't just knock with you. I'm very busy.

What's wrong?

It's nothing.

I bumped it.

Who did this?

Please, Cody, I'm very busy here. Can't you see?

Leave me alone.

Hang on.

What happened?

Look, maybe you better just stay away for a while.

Who hit her?

You leave her alone.

You only make things worse.

I want to know what's going on.

Do you want to get her killed?

Is that what you want?

Just go away.

These guys are mates of yours?

No, I'm not saying that.

Well, who were they?

Just leave it alone, please, Cody.

No, I won't leave it alone. Stop dicking me around.

Don't be disgusting. Go away. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

You'll talk to me now.

We both know what you're doing, Claudia.

You've got to be straight with me. Do you understand?

How dare you come in here and push me around like this?

Who the hell do you think you are?

If anyone's hassling you, I can fix it. Well, don't.

Just leave it alone. Mind your own business.

Claudia! Just look at me, Claudia. I'm all right, aren't I?

Just forget about it.

Claudia.

Just a minute.

I got your report, but it's not going to help much. Now I hear you let this guy

out on the street without even charging him. What are you doing?

Wouldn't have enough to charge him with.

Don't lie to me, Cody.

I thought there was more between us than that.

Yeah.

Both things are going to be picked up lately.

I understand.

I really do, but you are a cop.

You have to put her under arrest.

I'm sorry.

I'm not going to do that.

There's no definite, specific evidence.

Arrest her, Cody.

If you don't, I will.

It's me, John.

I've lost Gillespie.

Call me as soon as you can.

Be careful, eh?

Let's get him upstairs.

Are you okay, mate?

Can't see too.

I'll give up.

We're going to go and arrest him.

Oh, yeah.

Come on.

I'll explain in the car.

Daddy!

No, come back later. I haven't got the time.

No, I can't. Now, listen to me.

Sarah's disappeared.

What do you mean, disappeared?

Look, I'm not the panicking type, but when she makes an appointment, she keeps

it. I was supposed to meet her last night, and something's happened.

Mr. Geffen, we both know what Sarah's like.

She's probably lost it somewhere on Champagne. You've got to find her. She's

trouble. I know it.

Where's Sarah?

Oh, she was going to your place last night.

She didn't arrive.

Then I have no idea where she is.

She's caught up in your nonsense, Claudia.

You're responsible for this.

What are you talking about?

Claudia, when was the last time you saw Sarah?

I dropped her off at the house last night.

She wasn't there when I got in.

Access?

All right.

I'll come and get them myself.

I must go and collect some pieces.

I'm sorry, I'll have to close up now.

I'll stay. She might turn up.

Suit yourself.

Claudia.

We have to talk.

Tonight, you'll be.

Thank you for my flowers. They're beautiful.

You ain't here, Dad.

If Sarah comes in, keep her here.

Cody!

I don't give a damn about that.

I want my painting.

This Claudia is a very cool chick, I tell you.

If she's got it, this won't get it out of her.

I'm getting grilled by these bastards for having... And I'm sitting there

protecting you.

Well, that's it.

I'm off.

I'm out of here.

You grabbed her, remember?

I'm clear on that. They're not stupid. They're asking who I work for.

You're on your own, pal.

Kidnapping's one thing, but I'm not getting messed up in no murder.

Get an ambulance to the car park at Campbell's office.

That Murray Black's bad.

I'll get back to you.

Step away from it.

Take

it

easy. Take it easy.

Not again.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Tell me you love me.

Cody, put me on air, aren't I?

I wish I could sit here forever.

I wish you could, too.

When I was little, I'd wait during the night.

It was so frightening.

I used to think if I didn't get back to sleep, the morning would never come.

Now I hope it doesn't.

Simon.

You know it.

No, no.

Why'd you do it?

You've got everything you could ever want.

Do you have any idea how much money I've made in the last two years?

Money?

So when's enough?

How much money do you need?

I saw you do that paint -over job in the studio.

Last night.

I can feel you.

Martin Campbell's in custody.

He's been talking.

We know he stole the Unwin Chagall.

We know he gave it to you to unload in Paris.

So was Sarah in on this?

She knew nothing, Cody.

She knew nothing about...

So she's grabbed.

And you still didn't tell him where you hid it.

He could have killed your best friend.

How could you do that?

Please don't do this to me, Connie.

There's so much you don't understand.

Where's the painting now?

In Paris?

Are you going to arrest me?

I'm in love with you, Claudia.

I just need an hour of my studio.

Everything I have in the world is in there.

Give me an hour by myself.

I'll go wherever you want.

I'll come to your office.

Or wherever you want me.

All my life I've promised you. I'll do what you want.

Be at the gallery at ten o 'clock.

Claudia.

Sarah. Hi.

How are you?

Okay.

Thanks.

You seen Claudia?

She came to see me at home about an hour ago.

She was very upset.

What'd she say?

Nothing really. She...

She was strange, hurt.

She kissed me goodbye when she left.

What have you said to her?

What about under the floorboard?

Oh, in the ceiling, whatever.

I nearly tore the place apart.

It's just not there.

So we're back to square one.

I don't even think there's a curse on this painting.

Um... Yes, Tony?

Well, there's no sign of her on any of the flights out.

She's probably travelling on a false passport.

I'll tell them to keep looking.

See you later, mate.

Cody,

I did some checking.

Claudia Cressini.

A few small -time arrests in the 80s.

Her mother's dead. Her father runs a grocery shop in a suburb of Marseille.

Did you let her go?

Go on, get a shot of this.

Well,

look who it is.

Oh, you're a goose, pal.

Hey, we warned you, didn't we?

We heard she skipped the country. Is that right?

Yeah.

Well, you blew it.

We were running a smooth investigation until you come along.

Yeah.

She screwed you, didn't she, Cody?

What the hell do you think you're doing?

The mail came.

There's a card from her.

Thank you.

Love you too, Claudia.

Good.
