All language subtitles for 1972 - The Stepmother

Hey, Margo.

Alan, no, please.

Please.

Don't give me that.

Hey, Frank, amigo, how was Acapulco?

I was having a drink with your wife.

Thank you.

Strong as the raging tides of the ocean.

Soft as the flight of the silver dove.

Slaves are we to our own emotion.

Strange are the ways of love.

Strange are the ways of love.

How many times do you love her and leave
her? How many stars

can you count above?

Love is made of passion and a fever.

Strange are the ways.

No, no, no, Pedro.

¿Por qué?

¿Por qué estás cansada?

¿Cansada?

¿Qué estabas haciendo hasta las 2 de la
mañana?

Nada.

¡Mentidosa! ¡Puta!

Hey, shut up, Goof.

Listen, I'm sorry you came all the way
up here, but I don't think I can make it

today. You can't make it?

Hey, I haven't seen you for a week.

Well, I brought the contracts.

You know, I have to go over them.

Oh, fine. Bring them. We'll go over them
together.

I have to go to the office. You know
that.

Stop the office.

What's everybody drinking?

Brew, daughter.

And me, too.

Where's Alan?

The advice was over and doesn't show up.

Maybe he's popping some chick in L .A.,
boop, boop, ba -doop. Oh, goo.

Did you get the contract signed?

No.

You will not believe it.

The one of Oscar... Has to go back
again. Oh, for Christ's sake.

Well, they okayed the hotel in Acapulco.

But they would like to work some more
details in the apartment. Oh, mañana,

mañana.

Don't worry.

The deal is closed.

I guess they just enjoy my sparkling
personality.

Hey, don't leave them. You sure you're
one of them?

Hey, look, last night I, uh, got to
Alan.

I had to sit on him a bit, but he's
going to bring us that check today.

Hey, come on, I mean, it's mine.

Hey, we can finish the house for him.

Come on, you two.

One more business, and that's final.

Come on, Richard.

Where's our host?

He's a ghost.

He's a pot. The party will be over
before he appears.

I better go and try and call him. I
think you'd better.

There were no stab wounds or bullet
wounds on his body.

Cause of his death, strangulation.

Early this morning, three hippies found
the body of a young Mexican woman.

Cause of her death, strangulation.

When our boys arrived to go over the
scene of the crime, they found them

turned over dirt.

They dug up the soil and found the body
of Alan Richmond.

The medical report shows that Richmond
was under the influence of drugs when he

was strangled.

His body was found approximately 11
hours after the murder.

That means the killing must have taken
place about 2 o 'clock in the morning of

the previous night, just about the same
hour as the young Mexican woman was

strangled.

Two murders, huh?

Both happened at the same time in the
same general area.

This is a strange one.

This guy, Alan Richmond, he's got a
place at the beach.

He's got a townhouse.

And he's building a big joint out in
Beverly Hills.

I'm gonna make a run over to that
townhouse.

Let's see what kind of a guy he was.

Thank you.

I'm trying to reach Alan Richmond.

Is he there?

He's not here.

Oh, you want me to message?

No, never mind. I'll call back.

How did his car crash into the ocean 20
miles away from his body?

Find anything worthwhile at Richmond's?

No, nothing.

Listen, I'm going to make a run up to
that beach house.

I may come up with some kind of good
there.

This is going to be a tough nut to
crack.

For my money, it's going to be one of
these cases that never closed.

Yeah.

That was a long time.

We have nothing much to go on.

Absolutely nothing.

I've gambled with nothing before and
once. I... Let's say I'm lucky.

That's funny.

Called up there a while ago. A guy
answered.

A lot of noise in the background, like
there was a...

Party going on. Listen, Si, if anything
turns up, call me here.

It's the number at the beat house.

I realize it's the first Sunday we've
all spent together in weeks.

You get sucked in.

He's up a little.

When you're an architect, you build a
building, and then you want to make a

better one and a bigger one before you
know you are rich.

On paper, anyhow.

How did you finish this?

A few minutes.

Remember the first time you posed for
me?

Vic and I were up together, Andy.

tennis team.

Whatever happened to that, Ted?

My son had it.

Steve's proud of you.

Crazy day.

Remember the time we missed the tennis
match?

The cop took me to the police station.

He said I was a word back.

How come you're so preoccupied today?

What's the problem?

Dick told me that Alan finally agreed to
give you the money.

I'm going home.

The last time I saw Alan was Monday
morning.

He finally left for Acapulco.

Yeah, we had a meeting at Alan's office,
the three of us.

What kind of a meeting?

A business meeting.

I didn't know Alan Richmond was your
partner.

How do you say that?

Oh, no, we were building a house for
him.

What time did your plane arrive last
night?

After midnight.

Uh, was Mr. Richmond still at your house
then?

Yeah. We all were, except Frank.

We had a small informal party.

And what time did everyone else leave?

Around one.

Richmond too?

No, he stayed for a last drink with me.

And he left about 2 a .m., about an hour
later.

That was the last I saw of him.

Do you remember the hour your husband
arrived home?

Four o 'clock in the morning.

I thought you said you arrived at
midnight.

12 .25.

After customs and passports, I left the
airport around 1 o 'clock.

Then I went to the office to check some
papers.

I arrived home at 4 o 'clock in the
morning.

Where did go your wife and you? No.

Did you see anyone at your office when
you went there? No, I didn't. I went to

the private entrance.

Now, where were you two after the party?

Home. In a compromising position.

What about you two?

Don't.

Ritz.

Okay. I know a girl named Maria Sanchez.

How awful.

I don't. No, I never saw her.

No, huh?

I don't know that chick, man.

Thank you for your cooperation, folks.

I can assure you we'll do everything we
can, and I'll probably be calling on you

again.

No, he stayed for a last drink with me.

And he left about 2 a .m., about an hour
later.

That was the last I saw of him.

After I left the beach, I stopped at
Delgado's house.

I questioned his servants.

They confirmed everything Mrs. Delgado
says.

Delgado's the only one who doesn't have
a witness who can testify where he was

for three hours.

That's not reason enough to suspect him
of being involved.

Now, listen to this.

Now, where were you two?

that the plane arrived around 12 .25.

After customs and passports, I left the
airport around 1 o 'clock.

Then I went to the office to check some
papers.

I arrived home at 4 o 'clock in the
morning.

I don't like this story. It sounds funny
to me.

Our job is to go on proven facts.

Better keep an eye on the whole group.

What happened?

We're overdrawn.

The bank manager won't give us a new
loan, so I have to go somewhere else.

Some of the guys called today to find
out when they are coming back to work.

Well, never, if I don't spend something
soon.

And $125 ,000, that's all we need.

Now, why the hell did we have to build
this with our own money?

In about one hour.

Yeah, he's here. Would you like to talk
to him?

Yeah. Marvel.

Hi, lovely.

Hi. Sonia's here.

For barbecue and chicken.

Hens or cocks?

Hens. Hurry up. We're waiting.

I'm happy to say.

I wish I had your problem. Oh, come on
now, Frank.

Sexiest looking man I've ever seen. He
used to be.

Oh, hey, I called Rita and Goof to come
over for dinner. Yeah? Goof's busy on

his new film. I miss dear Goof.

Do you think we'll see him now that
Alan... Oh, did I tell you that Goof

thought that it was groovy?

Rita slept with Alan.

He said, you know, Goof, he said, how
can you make love with the same person

every day? That's Goof's cop -out.

I bet he's a bummer in bed.

Oh, God.

Yeah, right.

If I ever made out with anyone, Dick
would kill me.

Seriously? What do you think he'd do?

Seriously? Never thought about it.

Oh, he'd probably roar like a lion.

At least he better get jealous.

Anyway, I'm sure we're tight enough that
a scene would never hurt our

relationship. And what if it happened to
Dick?

Well, I'd crack the whip. I wouldn't let
Richard, the chicken heart, get any

idea that he's free just to run wild
with all the chicks in the barnyard.

What would you do to Frank?

Cut it off.

Oh, Margo.

What would Frank do to you?

Divorce me?

No, no, no. He loves you too much.

Besides, he's still hung up on
Catholicism. All the more reason.

Adultery is a sin to him.

No second chances. He's too proud.

I'm afraid he'll leave me.

What do you mean he'll leave you?

Sonia, if you say anything, I'll
never... You know me better than that?

You remember the last night we all saw
Alan alive?

Yeah. You and Dick left early.

Rita and Goof left shortly afterwards.

Alan just stayed and stayed. He wouldn't
go.

I don't know. He was on a trip of some
kind.

Finally, I got so tired, I decided we'd
go upstairs and go to bed.

I figured he'd split.

I fell asleep and, uh... I woke up and
he was next to me.

Wow.

Yeah, Frank must have found out. I don't
know how.

He hasn't made love to me since that
night.

There's a letter on the table from
Steve.

Want a drink?

No, thank you.

How's the number one son?

Fantastic.

He's coming home in a couple of weeks.

Good. Good to see the little stinger.

Good boy.

Yes, afternoon. You want to come?

No. That is your department.

Well, well, well.

Here comes pride, intelligence, and
guts.

I tried to catch it at your office.

So this is the Richmond house, huh?

Was.

We're stuck with it now, though.

What can we do for you?

I need both of you at headquarters to
see if you can identify a suspect in the

Richmond case.

Routine. Now?

Now would be fine, yeah.

We've arrested a man for the murder of a
woman.

The murder occurred near the spot where
Alan Richmond's body was found.

But so far, he refuses to admit to the
killing of Richmond.

Bring Lopez in, please.

These men are friends of Mr. Richmond's.

I didn't kill Mr.

Richmond. I told you. I didn't even know
Mr. Richmond.

I killed Maria because she was lying to
me. She was making it with everyone, and

I was going to marry her.

I don't love you no more.

I killed her so nobody can make love to
her. Nobody.

I love her, but I didn't kill Mr.
Richmond.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't kill Mr.

Richmond.

Then we all will take him out.

You ever seen this man?

No.

Mr. Delgado.

Mr. Delgado?

You ever seen him?

No.

Well, I guess we went to a lot of
trouble for nothing. What will he get

girls? A life imprisonment if he's
lucky, a gas chamber if he's not.

Jesus. Does he have a good lawyer?

Best.

Court will appoint one.

Mr. Delgado, Mr. Hill, I want to thank
you for coming in. Right.

Well,

I'm going to get a quick lunch and then
off to the bank. Oh, see you later.

I was at an art gallery nearby and
thought I'd persuade you charming

to buy me some lunch.

Oh, I'm sorry. You just missed Dick.
He's just left.

How come you didn't go with him?

Well, I didn't feel like eating.

Besides, he had to go to the bank
afterwards.

That's right.

I forgot.

I think you can find him at the
steakhouse. Oh, you come with me. I

find him. I have some building
inspectors coming tomorrow. I have a few

to check out. Oh, come on, Francis.

You're too gallant, little lady. Well, I
have to really say... And we won't stay

more than an hour, I promise. And
besides, you have to eat.

Come on.

How are you? I got

to

go to the other room.

Let's go join him.

Why he didn't tell me he was going to
meet here for lunch? I'm sure it's

perfectly innocent.

Then how come he didn't tell me?

How come you didn't tell him you're here
with me?

I can't talk to him. I just don't
understand it.

Well, when did it all start? I mean,
there's got to be a reason. The people

you just don't dry up. Did Sonia tell
you anything?

No.

Alan?

He's finished.

I can't trust her anymore.

Why finished?

We're all vulnerable.

He doesn't know how to forgive me.

Well, darling, you've got to try.

I have already.

I just don't know how to make it all
come out right.

No way can I tell him.

Oh, God, that's deep water.

Okay, okay.

Take it easy.

Talk to you later.

Hey, what the hell's the matter with
you?

Huh?

Where have you been?

What?

Where have you been?

Are you putting me on?

I've been to the bank.

Before the bank. Hey, I've got the loan.
We can finish the stinking house.

Answer my question.

Where have you been before the bank?

At the steakhouse.

With whom?

No one. I was alone.

You're lying to me.

Hey, now, listen, you're tired. You've
been working too many long hours. Now,

why don't you just go and relax and let
me take care of everything, huh? Oh,

boy.

You will take care of everything.

Including Margo.

Right? Do you know what the hell you're
talking about? Yes, I know what the hell

I'm talking about. I know very well what
the fuck I'm talking about.

You and Margo, you were together at the
restaurant.

You, we've been seeing her.

Behind my back.

Now, you just hold on one second.

Before one of us does something, he's
going to regret.

Look, Margo loves you, and she
wouldn't... She wouldn't what?

Cheat on me?

All right.

Okay, okay, okay. I met her.

She wanted me to help her.

Now, you know goddamn well I would never
touch anything that was yours.

Now, she wanted me to talk to you.

And I think you know about what, right?

Okay, now it's your turn.

What the hell's been eating you?

Hmm?

So, all right, she made it with Alan.

She tried to fight him off. There was
nothing she could do.

Look, this son of a bitch is dead in
good riddance, so please, forget it,

Please.

What the hell's the matter with you?
Leave me alone.

The way you've been acting, good Christ.
Ever since the night Alan died, you

think you were the one that was
responsible.

Will you please leave me alone? No, God
damn it, I will not. Come on.

Come on, leave me alone, for Christ's
sake. Leave me alone, Frank.

He had to be dead.

I didn't have any time to explain to
him.

I was suspicious of him.

Because of Alan.

I killed Alan.

It was in self -defense.

But I hated him.

Hatred is a sin.

I still hate him.

I don't know what is inside my heart.

My wife.

And Alan.

She asked me to forgive her, but I
can't.

She took my pride.

My self -respect.

You committed a crime, my son. You must
go to the authorities and confess.

They will never believe me.

Never.

They will never believe me.

I'll pray for you, my son.

I'm going inside to change. I have to go
to the office in a moment, okay?

You're not my little anymore.

Oh, you must be exhausted.

tacky suitcase, I see.

Thank you.

Hey, Margo?

What?

Tell me, why's Dad wearing a black tie?

Didn't he tell you in the letter?

No. Tell me what?

Dick died in an accident.

Oh, no.

Dick?

What happened?

He fell from an open terrace in the
construction last month.

Oh, dear.

Oh, Steve, don't talk about it around
your father right now, all right? He's

still upset about it.

Who's she?

Girl I know and her brother.

Margo, excuse me.

I've been married to your father for two
years now, and I know you've never...

Liked me or accepted me as your
stepmother?

Because I'm a gringa.

No, I like you fine.

When I came to this house, you were sent
away.

Now, maybe you think that was my doing.

But your father wanted you to be
independent.

I... I always wanted you with us.

Your dad asked if we should let you go
back to Mexico to go to school, and I

said, no, no, you should stay with us.

You can go to USC.

Two years is enough time. Margo, thank
you.

But I'd rather go back to Mexico City.

All my friends are there.

one of your friends.

Here you are.

I've been calling you all morning. Yes.
Where were you? I went to the airport to

pick up Steve.

How is he?

He's fine.

I feel so guilty not being at home now.

Promise to bring him over tomorrow?

Okay. I'm sorry that I called because
you're so busy, but Dick's insurance

policy, it's $300 ,000.

I'm sure Dick would have wanted it. I
want to put it into the company.

Sonia, I appreciate that, but why do you
need to call me out of the office to

tell me that? Aren't you hungry?

Come on.

Let's have some lunch.

We can eat on the terrace.

My life's empty without Dick.

Maybe I ought to go away from here.

Oh, Lieutenant Arnazi, please come in.

So, Mr. Delgado.

How's it going?

Fine, fine, thank you.

Sorry to bust in like this. I just have
a few questions.

Listen, you two go ahead.

I was on my way out. Very nice seeing
you.

I'll see you later.

Oh, Mr. Delgado.

Yes. I wonder, would it be convenient
for you to meet me in my office about 7

'clock tonight?

Okay, 7 o 'clock.

I'll be there.

Bye. Bye.

Come in.

Yeah.

I was a little anxious to finish the
routine investigation of Mr. Hill's

and mark that case closed.

What were some of the problems between
Mr. Delgado and your husband?

There were none.

No difficulties at all?

No, none.

No financial problems? No, you must have
seen them fight or argue on occasion.

On the contrary. They were best friends
for over 15 years, since college.

They were like brothers.

I see.

We're still trying to get a confession
out of our suspect in the Richmond case.

Lopez sticks to that denial.

Do you see much of your friend, the
director, Goof, his wife Rita?

I haven't seen Goof since Dick's
funeral.

Besides, he's busy on his new film with
Rita.

Yeah, yeah.

Don Anthony, right?

Right. Did you dig up any new courses,
huh?

I was going to ask you a good question
about Richmond.

Lay on me.

Seen Delgado lately?

Oh, man, no. You know, we're not in the
same bag, you dig?

I mean, we all met through Alan.

What was your connection with Richmond?

He put some bread in the bread I made.
Look at these splits. Did you see that?

No, I didn't get to see that one.

Oh, man, that's too bad.

That was a gas.

Actually, it was a piece of shit that
didn't ever bring in the money.

Wait till you see my next one.

Right, right.

What about Delgado?

Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean Frank. Frank,
Frank, Frank. Well, you know, I got the

feeling that Margo had a drag fight to
these things, you know, and he couldn't

beg off. Did Dick?

I mean, he and Dick were always working
on the weekends.

That was a bitch.

Well, so sometimes I take the girls to
balance. You get away from the smog and

all that. You understand?

They didn't mind letting their old
ladies go off alone like that? Oh, man,

Those cats were always working. Hey,
listen. Take a look.

That's pretty nice.

Very nice.

I love you.

What about some of the others?

Any fights or anything like that?

Oh, no.

Well, you know, maybe only once, you
know. I mean, Alan got a little high,

to kiss Margo, and Frank pushed him
away.

And, you know, Frank never talked to him
after that.

I'm about Delgado and Hill in trouble
there.

Oh, no way. You put me on.

That's all I can remember.

I cannot add any more details.

Couldn't have been suicide, a lot of
debts, financial problems.

It was an accident.

He fell.

My job, Mr. Delgado, is to make certain
of the reasons.

Mr. Hill's death, you were the only
witness.

The only one to see him, Paul.

I understand, Mrs. Hill.

Sonia is to receive a considerable sum
in the insurance.

Yes, you told me.

$300 ,000, isn't it?

I think so.

I understand.

She's going to turn the money over to
you and put it all back into the

construction business.

It's very generous of her.

It's a good investment.

She's also thinking about selling her
part in the business.

It would be a shame to lose such an
attractive partner.

Mr. Arnessi, my son came from Mexico
today.

And I'm leaving for Mexico this evening.

I would like to spend a few moments with
him, if you don't mind. Well, no, I

think that about does it.

Sorry I held you.

By the way, there's been

a break in the Richmond case.

Some new evidence might help us in
arresting the murderer.

Good night, Mr. Darnacy.

Yeah.

Sonia?

Sonia? Sonia?

I'm sorry it came like this, but I just
wanted to ask you,

what did Darnese say?

He's insane.

What did he say?

He said that you and I are having an
affair, that Dick's death may not have

an accident, but intentional.

What did he ask you?

Something.

How about a glass of wine?

You look nervous tonight. It'll relax
you.

No, no, no. I'm going to Acapulco
tonight. I'm sorry if I look like this.

time does the plane leave?

12 .30.

I'm going to come with you.

Oh, please, no.

Listen, D 'Arnesi's thinking we're
having an affair.

Frank, I need the change.

Sonia, would you do it for me? Not this
time. I don't care about D 'Arnesi. It's

not his business. You're my partner.

Not this time. Please.

You're so quiet.

Next weekend we'll go to the mountains,
all right? We'll go to the cabin.

And we have a great time.

How about this weekend?

Why this weekend?

You know, next weekend.

I'm going to Acapulco tonight.

I have some business to attend there.

Excuse me, I'm not hungry.

I'm going to go to bed.

Okay. Fine.

Here, take the card. Go ahead.

Thank you.

Do you have any argument?

Because he just got home.

This is his first day here.

You know how sensitive he is. I know.

You just feel... You're neglecting him.

I have... I wish I could stay.

There's no way.

Why don't you go talk to him?

Who is she?

Girlfriend.

Her brother.

And you?

You can bring them here.

Why don't you buy them?

Can I, brother?

Come on.

I put this in here.

Are you going to bed?

Well, yeah.

Okay.

Maybe we can have a little talk.

Sounds so formal, right?

I don't know how to communicate with
you.

Why don't you stay here?

Dad.

Come on.

Look, listen, I really need you now.

You know, now we can talk, we can
communicate.

Huh? You don't need to go back to
Mexico.

Yeah, man, all my friends are there.

I... You know, you change.

You know, it would be so nice to have
you here now.

Really.

You know, we can get to know each other
finally.

I came, Dad. This is a vacation for me.

Come, go hunting, fishing.

I love you.

But my friends are in Mexico, man. I
gotta go back.

I want to finish school there.

I'm sure I would have said the same
thing.

Good

night.

Grown up. Did you have a good talk? Oh.

You know, there are things that mean
much more than anything we said, you

You're funny.

Wow.

He's leaving.

That's all right.

Don't worry.

I ain't got no respect for him.

Did you talk to Tony?

Mm -hmm. Chicago?

Mm -hmm.

I'll miss my plane.

Am I not good?

Sonia, I don't mean it.

You know what you're doing?

You can get me in a lot of trouble with
this.

Darnacy, just now.

Oh, what the hell was Darnacy?

Would you care for some drinks?

Some champagne?

No.

Hi, this is Sonia.

Are you in bed, Sonia? I'm in Mexico.

I'll be back in a...

Thank you.

Strange are the ways of

woman.

Strange are the ways...

I don't know.

Bye.

Yeah Excuse

me

You hate me?

That's a great question.

Go ahead.

No,

no, I don't want to.

No, I didn't mean to upset you, really.
Go ahead, here.

Margo. Come on, Margo.

Come on.

Too bad.

This is a baby, huh?

Marco, don't.

No.

Baby.

Do you want to make love with me?

Can you?

Can I?

Yeah? I couldn't sleep.

Sorry if I woke you.

What time is it?

Six. Oh, wow.

I was having a nightmare.

And I was tossing.

Wow.

Can I have a little more?

I guess so.

Anything you want.

It's beautiful, the bay.

The last time I was here was with my
husband.

We used to go swimming at this time of
the morning, watch the sunrise.

Then we'd run hand in hand across the
sand and fall asleep until the sun woke

us.

Those days are over.

Finished.

i couldn't have gotten through these
days without you you've been a great

thank you i really appreciate that you
say that please frank

That's a noisy bird out of here. Shut
up!

Steve,

where are you going?

I'm going up to the cabin.

I'll be back tomorrow when Dad gets
home.

Okay, but be careful with that
motorbike.

I will.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I have to go.

Come here.

I can't. I got to go.

Steve, come up here now. I want to talk
to you.

Come on in. Close the door.

Where were you going?

To church.

Church?

Why don't you and I go up to the cabin?

There's a lot of work that has to be
done there before we go up to your

next weekend.

I need you to help me get it ready.

No, take Lupe and Jose.

They have too much to do here already.

Look, I promised some friends I was
gonna meet them downtown.

Meet them some other time.

We'll be back by the time your father
returns.

Margo, I don't want to go.

Leave me alone!

Okay, I'm going to the cabin. I'll be
back when I'm done.

Okay, Lupe, okay. I will try to be home
this evening.

Don't worry. Everything will be all
right.

Okay. Bye.

I'm sorry.

A little family problem.

I don't mean to rush you, but do you
think we can sign the contract this

afternoon? I would like to be home this
evening.

Of course.

But you missed the dinner party in your
honor tonight.

Frank, how about catching the plane
tomorrow morning?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't.

Why don't you stay?

No, I'll go with you.

But I hope we can have a rain check next
trip.

My pleasure, Mr. Dillon.

I'll have these typed and ready to be
signed this afternoon at your hotel.

Thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

Adios. Adios.

Thank you, Summer. Thank you. I'll see
you later.

Well, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I told you someone had to come and clean
up.

I want to finish what I was trying to
tell you when you left.

Come here. I can't talk to you way over
there.

I know you're upset about last night.

You needn't worry. I won't tell your
father.

You won't tell him will you?

Morning.

Gardening?

I was here before.

You're the police who came here
investigating after Mr. Richmond was

That's right. You've got a good memory.

Is Delgado home? No, he's in Mexico.

Mrs. Delgado?

She's in the mountains. They're all out
of town.

Did you buy the spades?

I don't know.

Oh, about three months ago.

Is the spade yours?

Yes, sir.

That's my spade. I told you I never
touched it.

Well, who took it from my garden?

You're sure this spade belongs to you?

Sure, I'm sure.

You see that J carved there?

That's for Jose.

That's me.

Your spade, Jose, was found inside a car
at the bottom of the ocean.

It was used to bury a murder victim.

Well, I'll have to keep this.

It'll be used as evidence in court.

Señor!

Maybe it belongs to another Jose.

Possible.

Look at the records.

Outstanding student, champion tennis
player, married at 19 to his high school

sweetheart, a Mexican girl who died
giving birth to his only child, highly

decorated hero in the Korean War, strong
religious background, honesty in all

his references.

Married his second wife two years ago,
built himself up a very successful

construction company. He's a self -made
man.

He never even had a traffic violation.

Maybe he had a motive.

His wife is a beautiful, sexy woman.

From what I've seen of her, she's not a
conventional type like his first wife

was. Maybe she and Richmond were messing
around.

I mean, Richmond had a pretty good
reputation for messing around, okay?

From what the nutty director tells me,
Frank was jealous as hell of Richmond's

behavior with his wife.

Frank had strong pride. He was highly
emotional.

His wife was home alone with Richmond
the night he was murdered.

Now, Frank has a very feeble excuse for
where he was from the time he left L .A.

airport till he reached home.

That's two and a half hours.

A little time, plenty of time to commit
a murder.

Guy arrives home unexpectedly, finds his
wife in the rack with this Richmond.

Listen, for a guy like Delgado, that's a
highly explosive situation.

Story sounds convincing, all right. Damn
right.

You think Delgado's responsible for Dick
Hill's death?

Delgado's involved with Hill's wife and
the insurance money?

Now they're in Acapulco at the Hilton,
eh?

One month after her husband's death.

The two ideas just don't mesh.

Why would he be jealous of his wife if
he's having an affair?

It's all too circumstantial. No real
proof.

You want to try to get a man into the
gas chamber on that?

Well, I have the shovel that was used to
bury Richmond.

That's certain.

I'm going to use it to get a confession.

Then, uh, did your dad quit the Merchant
Marine?

No.

But he'd be gone almost the whole year.

First year, I cried myself to sleep
every night.

Thought I'd never see him again.

Then out of the blue, he'd come home and
we'd be a family for a while.

Then he had to go away again.

My mother got a lover.

She divorced my father to marry him. I
never forgave her.

What happened to your dad?

He died while in port in Hong Kong.

That's when I finally left New York and
decided to come out here and try my luck

at modeling.

So I'm like you.

I don't know.

No brothers, no sisters, no...

Lupe?

Are they still in the mountain?

They're still in the mountain.

The inspector came by with our missing
space.

What did he say?

He wanted to know if it was our space.

What did you tell him?

I said to him it was our space.

But he took it anyway. He said that he
needed it for some evidence in court.

I'm going to the mountain.

This is your spade, Mr. Delgado.

If I need it, it'll be used as evidence
to convict the killer of your friend,

Mr. Richmond.

I'm sorry, Mr. D 'Arnesi, I don't know
what you're talking about.

Your spade was used to bury Alan
Richmond.

I'll look for you in my office in about
an hour.

Aye, Mr. Delgado.

Protecting him.

You saw Frank. Now tell me where.

How? You were with him.

You both killed Alan Richmond. No, no.
It's for that. I never saw Frank.

I don't remember.

Do you remember the car?

No.

And you saw a car.

Near you.

What color?

What make? Who was in it?

No say. No say. Frank was in it.

How could you ever do that to me?

I could shoot you.

Forgive me, Dad.

Forgive me.

Christ.

Who am I to judge?

I killed a man.

I am going now to the police.

Stefano, put this away from me.
