- Oh, you like it?

You like that?

How much do you like it?

Oh I'm coming.

Oh!

Ow, you burned me!

- Hey, you do it.

- Sure.

I do anything for you.

- Oh yeah.

When are we gonna get married?

When are we gonna get married?

- I need more time to forget.

- You old man's been gone a long while now.

I, I think we've waited long enough for appearance sake,

don't you?

- What a big rush?

You know, you're so impatient lately.

Every time we're together,

you try to pin me down to get married.

Oh, we don't need to get married.

We're together all the time anyway.

And we have everything we need.

- Wrong.

No wrong.

You, you have everything you need.

Not me.

You know, I worked for the outfit for 10 years

and then your old man kicks off and what do I get?

I get 25,000 lousy dollars.

I mean, big deal, huh?

Let's not even talk about the fact that you went out

and you sold the company for a cool half million dollars.

Hey baby, old Gus wants some money

to open his own construction company.

Hey, you know I'm tired of being left high and dry.

I got, I got 80.

I got nothing out of that deal, nothing.

- What deal Gus?

- What do you mean what deal?

The accident, your husband's death.

Look, I worked for him,

I worked for him for 10 years as a manager.

You know what that's like?

And I think I deserve more.

I think I deserve more money, don't you?

- How much do you want?

- Oh, let's see.

$250,000, which is exactly half of what you got.

You see, I want that money.

I need it and I need it now.

- You son of a bitch!

After all these years, you've been after me for my money.

You don't love me.

You never have.

You've just been hanging around

waiting for my husband to die

so you can marry me for his money.

I would never marry you

and I don't ever wanna see you again.

Now, get outta this house.

- Oh, shut up.

But you think you're gonna get rid of me that easy?

Let me tell you something.

You got plenty of dough.

Let's not even talk about the money you're gonna get

from the insurance company.

You know what you should do?

You should pay me off.

Give me my share because I earned it.

- You're crazy.

You get outta this house where I'll call the police

and they'll come and they'll throw you out.

- Oh, don't call the sheriff, dummy.

You know, if you call the sheriff,

they're gonna reopen the case and they're gonna find out

that you were just as involved as I am.

Put it down.

Put it down.

Oh, put that damn thing away.

I'm going, I'm going.

But I'll tell you what, I'm coming back.

You know I'm coming back.

I'm coming back and I'll get my money.

- I hate you.

- Fuck off!

I hate you!

Get out!

Get out or I'll kill you.

- Stow it you bitch!

- Get outta here!

Oh, I'm a doctor.

Don't move.

- I, I'm OK, I'm worried about him.

I, I don't know what happened.

The bike, I, I was showing him how fast the bike would go.

And all, all of a sudden, I guess the gravel made us,

made us skid.

Is he gonna be all right or what?

- Oh, god, I don't know.

Help me move him to the car.

- OK, Brian, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

You're gonna be OK.

- Ah. - Oh be careful.

I'll get the seat.

- He's gonna be OK, isn't he?

- I don't know.

- I think he's in a coma, he's unconscious anyway,

Like dead weight.

- Be careful. - Brian, Brian.

- He's losing blood.

Clean him up for me.

- I'll have him ready.

- Come on, have some more.

What'll you have?

- Oh, Harriet, you are all right, Harriet.

And you got gorgeous legs.

- All right.

- Careful Bill, I'm watching you man.

- You've had enough beer for one day, Bill.

- It's Sunday.

- It's always, always Sunday.

- Oh, come on, we'll all be smashed

if we have to wait much longer

for those boys to show up for dinner.

Well, how's the chicken honey?

- Over done and dizzy.

Dizzy, dizzy chicken.

- But it's gonna be great, Bill.

You wait man.

- No, I'm sure- - Hello.

- Hi, it's me.

David why aren't you and Brian here?

We'll all starve to death.

- Listen,

we had an accident.

- Accident.

- Now don't panic will you, I'm fine.

It's just, Brian had to have some stitches

and some x-rays.

- Where are you?

We're at the hospital.

- We'll be right there.

He had an accident. - What happened.

- They're at the hospital.

I don't know.

Brian had to have some stitches, David was calling.

Hurry up, come on.

- You guys go on to the car and I'll get the keys.

Come on, come on Bill. - Come on.

Let's go. - I'll be right there.

- OK, dress him up.

Move him over to his room.

- Huh, how's my son?

How's Brian. - Where is he?

- Still in the emergency room, they haven't come out yet.

- Oh my god, how did it happen?

- Well.

I was on the bike and, and going pretty fast, I guess.

And we slid on the gravel.

I just, it's too late to stop it.

- Oh, don't give us that bull.

You know how many times I've told you

not to ride that dirt bike on the street,

but you're a show off you and a show off, didn't you?

Well, that takes care of that.

I'm gonna sell that damn bicycle.

Sell it, what do you mean you're gonna sell it?

It belongs to me.

- Oh, that so?

Well, you'll see about that.

- OK, then do it, it's busted.

It doesn't work anymore anyway.

- Just be glad you're all right.

- It is, it's my fault.

I'm very sorry.

- Sorry.

- You're sorry.

You realize that you could have killed your best friend

with your recklessness, your damn carelessness.

And you want to be a policeman.

You want to go to the police academy.

Don't you know now you've got a record,

that makes you a criminal.

- How I poor baby.

Is he alright? Is he gonna be alright?

- Where's the doctor?

What kind of a hospital is this?

I wanna know how my son is.

- I'm the doctor.

- You?

- Yes, me.

- You, you don't look very much like a doctor.

- I'm sorry.

I didn't realize doctors are supposed to look

any certain way.

Don't worry.

I'm as well qualified as any male doctor.

- How's my son?

- He's going to be all right.

- Going to be.

What's wrong with him?

- He was knocked unconscious

when he was thrown from David's motorbike.

I had to take quite a few stitches,

but apparently from the X-rays, there's no broken bone.

- Can I talk to him?

He's still out from the anesthetic

and he's weak from loss of blood.

I prefer if you let him sleep and rest through the night

until morning.

- Thank you, doctor.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you

- That's all right.

I'm used to you men not wanting to accept me as a doctor.

- We'll stop by on the way to work in the morning.

So, eight o'clock too early.

- No, eight o'clock would be fine.

- We'll be here then.

- Well, like, we can't do too much more here.

Everything's gonna be all right.

- You always say that.

- Oh, hi.

I, I wish I was just driving around.

It's a a nice night and I, I,

I was worried about my friend Brian,

so I thought I'd come by and speak to you about it.

- Oh, sure, all right.

- Well, could I come inside?

It's a little difficult to speak out here on the,

on the doorstep.

- Yeah, come on in.

- Thank you.

I guess doctors have a lot of money, huh?

- That's right.

Beautiful, really beautiful.

- What do you drink?

- What do you have? - Everything.

- Uh, beer. - Except beer.

- Oh, OK.

I'll have a shot, Scotch.

A double, no what am I saying?

Triple, triple.

I, I always drink triple.

That's a habit of mine.

Hard drinkers like triples, thank you very much.

This is really...

Oh, I love fireplace...

I like book, books.

Very good sign.

You're intellectual.

Very nice, very nice.

Here's to ya.

- It's nice, groovy place you got here.

- So what did you wanna talk about?

- Time, oh, Brian.

How long you figure he'll be in the hospital?

- Mm.

Tomorrow or maybe the next day.

- That's soon, how come?

- Well, you don't seem to be very happy

that he's getting out.

- Oh, no, no, I am

I am, I'm delighted.

'Cause that means he's OK, right?

- That's right.

- But it also means I won't have an excuse

to come by and see you anymore.

To see me?

- Sure, I like ya.

You're my kind of woman.

- Oh, how do you know what type of woman I am?

- Oh, I can tell, you got brains.

You got gray matter, see.

And I don't dig that many chicks.

I don't get attracted that easily.

Didn't want chicks bore me?

They're pretty stupid.

- Hmm, well, I guess I should feel flattered.

- Yeah, you should.

'Cause I can have any chick in this town.

- Oh, good for you.

- But I don't want a girl.

I like women.

- Oh.

Well, is Brian a big man with the ladies too?

- Ah, no, he's a chicken shit.

He's scared to death of women.

He's hopeless.

You figure he'd learned something

being around me all his life.

- All his life?

Oh yeah, we've been friends since.

Oh, wow, since we were born.

- Not before that?

- No, how could I be?

No, no, no, seriously, no.

We, we, we live next door to each other.

Our parents, they're best friends.

That's how come we became best friends.

We, we do everything together.

Except for a couple of years when I went away to college

back East.

Even now we go to the same college.

Except I'm gonna be a criminologist,

while Brian, all he's gonna be is an architect.

He sure enough to know anything about women, you see.

I tried to tell him, I, I said, I said, listen, Brian.

Women like aggressive males.

You know what I mean?

They like, it's like the law of the jungle.

They like a man who's aggressive, who's strong.

You know what I mean?

Take good, take good care of a woman.

I wonder if you could freshen, freshen my drink.

- I think you've had enough.

I'm really tired.

I had a busy day today.

Maybe you better go.

- Are you serious?

Hey, wait a minute, I know.

You're playing hard to get, aren't you?

That's OK. That's OK.

Playing hard to get, that's the type you are.

- I guess so.

- Yeah, that's OK, that's OK, it's a challenge.

See, I like that time I was holding you.

- Well, I think you better go.

- I'll tell you what.

I'll go now if you promise to see me tomorrow.

- OK, OK.

I promise to see you tomorrow.

Now, I think you better go.

- OK.

Oh, incidentally, you're not kicking me out.

I have to go now anyway.

How's my patient?

- Feeling Great. Dr. Evans.

What's your first name?

- Carol.

What are you reading?

- "Architectural Digest"?

Mom and Dad brought it to me this morning.

- I see you ate all your lunch.

- I was really starving.

Food's pretty bad.

- I agree.

Do you eat it?

- Not unless I have to.

But sometimes rather than go home and eat alone,

I eat here.

- Alone?

You're not married?

- Mm, no.

I was up until three months ago.

My husband was killed in an accident.

- Oh, I'm sorry.

- Yes. It was difficult to get over.

He was very good to me.

In fact, I met him the same way I met you.

He was my patient and I was a nurse then.

- How did you happen to become a doctor?

It's a little unusual for a woman.

- Well, what was my husband's doing?

I always wanted to go to medical school

and he urged through and paid the way.

- That's really fine.

- You seem to be all right.

I'm sending you home today.

- So soon.

I mean, I think I should stay longer.

Mom can't take care of me at home.

I'd be better off here.

- I talked to your mother and father this morning.

They want you to come home,

but I want you to stop by the hospital tomorrow

for an injection.

Or you could just stop by my house tonight if you'd like,

since you live so close by.

- Oh, I've rather come to your house tonight,

I mean, if that's OK.

What time, I don't want to interfere with your dinner.

I bet you're a really terrific cook.

- All right.

Seeing as you're coming by anyway.

You might as well stay for dinner.

I'll make it up you you

for all that bad hospital food I made you eat.

How about seven?

- Sevens great, I'll be there.

- Hi.

Can I come in?

- Sure, come on in.

You've got perfect timing.

I'm just letting Brian go home today.

- Great, David can give me a ride home.

Won't even have to call my mom, I'll surprise her.

- I'll go organize your release papers.

- That Carol, she is one great lay let me tell you.

- Carol, what are you talking about?

- Your doctor, I went over to her house last night.

- Oh, you're crazy.

You're a liar.

- Ask her if you don't believe me.

- OK, so you went over to the house last night.

Big deal, what for?

- To find out the truth about you.

- The truth about me?

- Yeah, listen, doctors are bullshitters.

Don't you realize that?

So I figured that I'd used my detective skills

to find out the truth about your condition.

- So what did you find out?

- There is absolutely nothing wrong with him.

But boy, there's something wrong with her,

she's a nympho.

- Ah, she is not, you're crazy.

- I am, would I lie to you?

Listen, I'll tell you, I went over there.

She wouldn't let me out of that house last night

until I screwed that hell out of her.

Don't believe it.

- Well, believe it or not, it's true.

I wouldn't go over there again by myself

if my life depended on it.

She's much too much for one guy to handle by himself.

Let me tell you what happened, what, what she did.

First of all,

she maneuvered me into a position on the couch next to her.

See, and then somehow she grappled me.

She got me down on the carpet

right in front of the fireplace, blazing there.

She didn't even wanna take time to go to the bedroom.

Boy, I, I was wiped out.

I'm not kidding you, Brian.

I was exhausted.

But you see,

I'm just the kind of guy she needed

because she really wanted and needed a strong,

experienced dude like me.

- Excuse me.

- Oh, I was just telling Brian

about a movie that I saw last night.

- Oh really?

Everything's ready for you to go now, Brian.

You can get changed.

- She heard you.

You hurt her feelings.

You with your big mouth and your big lies.

- The only feeling she's got between her legs.

I'll wait for you outside.

- You always have to play that so loud.

- Like my music loud and brassy,

like a like my woman.

Whereas you, you like them soft and nice and romantic.

- Why should that bother you?

- It doesn't bother me.

You want to be a jerk, be a jerk.

That's why you never make it for these women to the sack.

- Listen, let's talk about something else.

What I like is my business.

- OK, OK.

Just trying to help you out.

You wanna stay a virgin all your life, stay a virgin.

Why should I waste my breath?

- I should think you've wasted enough breath for one day.

- I know why you're sore.

Because I screwed your doc, she's a bitch.

She's a blatant obvious bitch.

- She is not.

- I bet she screws every one of her patients

right in the hospital,

right in their beds without even pulling the screens.

- Listen, I like her.

I don't want to hear you talk about her that way.

You don't know anything about her.

- Boy, you know, you really have it bad for her.

- You're bananas.

- Let's go to the drive movie tonight, huh?

Celebrate your recovery.

The flicks aren't that hot.

But we can pick up a couple of chicks if things get boring.

What do you say?

- I'd like to Dave, but I can't.

- Why?

- I just can't?

- Why not?

- Look, I don't have to give you a reason.

What are you now, the interrogator?

- I know. Why not?

Because it's your turn tonight

to go and screw the doc, right?

- Look I have to see her own business.

I'm her patient.

- Well you won't need much patience to make out with her.

- Ah.

- Uh-uh.

You're sick remember?

You're sick. - You're sick.

- No, and you're getting sicker all the time.

Let me tell you.

- Why don't you just let me do what I want to.

- Gonna screw yourself up, that's why.

- What a nice surprise.

Now what are you two boys up to?

- I..

I told Brian to brutalize me

so I feel punished for causing the accident.

- Now that's silly, you know, I don't believe a word of it,

but I'll let it pass.

- Hey, I'm sorry.

- Rest and recuperate.

- How you feeling now?

- Much better.

But I have to go by the doctor's tonight.

So she'd can give me a shot.

- Oh, isn't that nice of her to see you at home.

- Yeah, she's really nice.

Hi.

- Hey, right on time come.

Come on.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, doctors rarely ever get flowers from their patients.

- Nothing.

You've got a nice place.

- It's comfortable.

Come on in the den.

Oh!

Ah, just in time.

I fixed curry for dinner.

I hope you like hot, spicy food.

- Oh, hotter the better.

- I agree.

Oh, before I forget, I'd better give you your injection.

Drop your drawers.

Now, get the alcohol.

Now, that didn't hurt, did it?

- No.

- There.

Would you like to have some Champagne?

- Yes, some Champagne.

Just can't refrain.

Right on my brain.

- Why don't we have a toast?

- Good to me.

OK, what should we toast to?

- To us.

I mean to the accident?

If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be here now.

- You're right.

- Looks delicious.

- Looks can be deceiving, don't you think?

- Sometimes.

- I used to make fast judgements about people

with their appearances,

but I've learned to take more time in informing my opinion.

- Yeah, that's true.

Time is usually the key to knowing about those things.

You expecting someone else?

- No.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing, nothing.

- Maybe it's a patient.

- Hi, I saw your lights on.

I figured I'd come by and say hello to you.

- I don't like people to drop by without an invitation.

- Sure, I realized that.

But I figured you'd probably change your mind

about our date tonight.

You did, didn't you?

- I told you to find someone your own age.

- My own age?

But I'm older than Brian.

I'm six months older.

- Well then I suggest you start acting like it.

- What does that mean?

- Well, why don't you go home and think about it.

Look, I'm in the middle of dinner.

- But wait a minute.

Look, I'm hungry I'm hungry too.

And, and nobody ever asks Brian anywhere without me.

- Hey, I'm not running a restaurant.

- OK? I'm gonna level with you.

You know why I came tonight?

I came here tonight because Brian told me to.

- I think you've told enough lies for one day.

Goodbye.

- Sick.

Nymph.

- That it was David.

- What's he doing here?

- Looking for you.

- I didn't ask him to come over here.

- Mm.

He seems to think he has to go everywhere you go.

- Yeah, really?

- That's the trouble with David.

He always has to have his own way

or else he gets really mad.

- Did you want me to ask him in.

- After what he said about you?

- What did he say about me?

- Nothing, just a bunch of lies.

- Bring your wine glass, let's go sit in the den.

You don't wanna hear about me?

Let's hear about you.

- Yes I do, I like you.

- Oh, you don't know anything about me.

- Sure like what I know.

- You do?

I like you too.

- You do.

- Uh-huh.

- Then can I see you again.

- Sure.

- I hope we'll become really good friends.

Then you can trust me.

- I'm sure I can trust you.

- Look, I better be going pretty soon.

- Oh, so soon.

- Well, I don't want my parents to worry.

Just got outta the hospital.

I just told them I was coming over

so you can give me a shot.

- Oh, hmm, I see.

- Thanks a lot for the dinner.

It sure beats hospital food.

- Aren't you gonna kiss me good night?

You said I could trust you.

I didn't expect that. What?

- What?

- Oh, nothing.

Well, see you soon.

- Yeah, real soon.

- Hey Brian, listen.

There's a great detective movie playing at the drive-in.

You and me, let's go.

- Can't, I'm busy.

- Busy.

You've been busy all week.

You've been busy since the first day

you got out of the hospital.

You really think you're hot stuff

since you've been dating that doctor.

Let me tell you something, boy.

You sure have changed a lot for the worse.

- That's your opinion. - Oh yeah.

Well you wouldn't act so smart if you knew what I found out.

I've been doing some detective work.

I've been running a file on her.

You know what I think?

I don't care what you think.

- Well, you better because your life is in D A N J E R.

Danger.

- You're crazy. - Oh yeah.

Well her husband, a poor old sucker.

He was taken and he must have been just like you

right before she murdered him.

- You're nuts, she loved her husband.

Why would she murder him?

- For the money, big bucks.

'Cause he was rich.

Plus he was 25 years older than her.

- You're so far off base and uninformed.

He died in an accident.

- No murderer one.

It only looked like an accident.

At this very moment she's probably cooking up some scheme

to murder you.

Only you're too crazy about her to realize it.

- Boy, if you've got an imagination.

- Oh yeah, you think so?

Then I'll tell you what.

Why don't you just ask her about her husband?

I dare ya.

You won't because you're scared.

Well, I don't blame you.

The only reason she got away with it

is because the sheriff in his stupid town,

he isn't used to solving murders.

But I'm a criminologist and I'm gonna solve it.

I'm zeroing in on her now.

You understand?

Now I'm telling you about it, Brian,

I'm warning you for old time sake

before I expose this to the newspapers.

Now, if you wanna be known as a lover of a murderess,

that's your problem.

But I'll tell you this,

it's harboring of criminal, guilt by association.

That's five to 10, maybe eight on good behavior.

Get lost.

You're full of bullshit.

- You see? You see how she's got your worked up.

I'm telling you Brian, she is a murderess.

- Stop, David, Brian, now stop!

Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it!

Now you both ought be ashamed of yourself

acting like animals fighting all the time.

Now what's got into you lately?

Now David, you go on home, now go on home, now get away.

You better just stay away from each other

'til you can stop fighting.

Now I mean it, go on home.

- Get you butt outta here.

- Just let him die, see if I care.

- Now what's the meaning of that remark?

- He's just jealous because he wants to stop me

from being friends with Dr. Evans.

'Cause now I don't have as much time

to hang around with him.

- Come on in the house and I'll put something on that.

You better have Dr. Evans check it

and make sure it didn't get infected.

- Brian.

Where's your car?

- Oh, I hit it so David wouldn't see it if he drives by.

- What were you and David fighting about?

- Well, he's just mad

because I don't wanna do what he wants to.

- There, that should take care of it for a while.

But don't go get in any more fights or that'll never heal.

If that's David, I'm not gonna be polite to him this time.

I'll be right back.

All right David!

- Who's David?

You don't waste much time do you?

But as they say.

When the cats away.

- I didn't invite you here Gus.

Now please leave.

- Well, since when did I need an invitation to come here?

Huh?

Who's David?

- He's just a neighbor boy

I invited over here to do some yard work for me.

But that's none of your damned business.

- You didn't answer my phone calls.

- Look, it is over between us.

It is finished and that's final.

And I told you that before.

Now take off.

Just like that, huh?

- I gave it some thought.

You don't love me.

You never have.

You love yourself.

Now go.

- Sure, sure Now your old man's out of the way

and you have all that money.

You, you have now decided that it would never work.

It's really funny, you know,

because always before you thought it would.

- Before was before, I've made up my mind.

I don't wanna see you anymore.

Now leave.

- You think you can just,

just use me and then dismiss me like,

like some sort of school boy.

- Used you.

What do you mean by that?

- You set me up baby.

You know.

- Set you up.

What are you talking about?

- Oh, come on Carol.

Don't play games with me.

Look, you had an affair with me.

You pretended to love me.

You said you wanted to marry me.

You, hey, you see old Gus has got tapes on all this.

Even our most intimate conversations.

- What?

- I've always been about one step ahead of you.

I recorded, I recorded all our conversations.

Even the one where you told me

that you wanted me to kill your husband.

Kill my husband?

- Right. - You bastard.

You killed my husband.

You knew the brakes were out on that bulldozer.

You purposely let it run over him.

- I did it all for you, darling.

I made it look like it was an on the job accident.

So you could get twice as much money.

Double indemnity.

Now, now Gus wants his half.

- No!

- What are you doing?

- I'm turning you in.

- Give me that!

- You dummy.

Don't you know that there is not a court

or a cop in the land that would believe

you were not involved with me?

You see, you got all the money.

You had the motive.

I got nothing.

- My accomplice.

Besides that I have the tapes to prove it.

- You're lying.

You're out of your mind.

I never said any such thing.

You can't have any tape.

- Well, I don't know if you were, if you were smashed

or you forgot or whatever it is.

But if you want to refresh your little memory, you,

you come over to my place tomorrow about noon,

and we'll play the tapes

and we'll make ourselves deal, huh?

And if you don't then I'll just have to

play 'em for the sheriff.

Bye.

Bitch.

- Are you all right?

- Oh, that pig, he killed my husband.

- You better call the sheriff.

- No, I can't.

Not yet.

But why?

- Look, I'm innocent.

Do you believe that?

- Sure I do.

- I swear I'm innocent.

But who'll believe it.

He'll say I had the motive

and I got all that money from my husband's insurance.

I have to go over there tomorrow

and I have to hear what he has on that tape.

- You can't go over there and see him alone.

He's already killed your husband, he might try to kill you.

- I have to take that chance.

- Well then I'm going with you.

- No you can't.

Oh, I don't know.

- Listen, I'll stay outta sight.

If I go with you, I'll, I'll just be there just in case.

If he does anything to try to harm you, I'll be there.

- Maybe that's a good idea.

Oh, I'm so drained.

I can't even think straight.

- Listen, let me play the doctor.

I think you need to get to bed and get some rest.

- I'm gonna tuck you in.

Have some brandy, it'll help you relax.

- You'd make a good doctor.

- Don't go.

Don't leave me alone.

Please?

Come lay next to me.

Come on.

Oh.

Oh.

Wait here.

I should be out in a few minutes.

- And if you're not?

Carol, please don't take that with you.

- Be careful, It's loaded.

All right.

I'll see what trick he is trying to pull off.

- Be careful.

- I will.

- Right on time, just as usual.

Have a seat.

How little Chablis, huh?

Just a little bit?

- Nothing.

I have to get over to the hospital.

- Well, let's just fine, because I'm in hurry too.

So why don't we, why don't we just get down to business?

Ah, ah, touch.

See, I want $250,000.

Exactly half your husband's insurance policy.

And I want it because I don't think

you would've had anything if I hadn't arranged it.

The old Gus really takes care of you, doesn't he?

Set up that accident so it looked like it on the job.

Double indemnity.

As a matter of fact,

you promised me half of everything you got,

but there's no reason to argue about it

because we have it all right here on.

- You're a damn liar and a crook.

- I'm gonna make a believer outta outta you.

Oh Gus, I love you.

I love my husband too.

In a different sort of way.

I don't know, I'm all mixed up.

Let me tell you something, baby.

I'm not waiting any longer.

You leave your husband for me or we're through.

But he's old,

he hasn't got much longer to live.

His heart's bad, any shock could kill him.

- I never said that!

You mean if we did something

bad enough to frighten him?

That's right.

You'd get all the money.

And he carries a heavy insurance policy.

So if old Gus, is patient.

Oh, half of would I get will belong to you

once we're married.

- You, you heard enough?

- I'm not letting you blackmail me with that.

You faked those tapes.

You took that conversation outta context.

You spliced those tapes together

and you put those words in my mouth.

I'm taking this to the sheriff.

- Oh, I'm sorry baby.

Let Gus give you a hand.

Ow!

You bitch, get back here.

Gimme that tape.

Give it to me!

You give it to me and I'm gonna cut you up!

Now give me that tape!

Give me that tape.

- Brian, give me the gun.

Go bring the car to the driveway.

- You think anybody saw us?

- Maybe the cleaning man.

- What if he calls the sheriff?

Maybe we should call the sheriff.

- I told you we talked to the sheriff

he might not believe us.

- What if we get caught?

- We won't if we hide the body.

- How?

- Look here.

This is the master tape.

See how we spliced it together?

- Mr. Dolan?

Oh Gus, I love you.

I love my husband too.

In a different sort of way.

I don't know, I'm all mixed up.

Let me tell you something, baby.

I'm not waiting any longer.

You leave your husband for me or we're through.

Any shock could kill him.

- What's he doing here?

He knows.

He's looking through your car.

- You stay here.

I'll go see what he wants.

Get the tapes and burn them in the fireplace quick.

- Well, hello Sheriff.

- Hi Doc.

We just got a report from a cleaning man

that they saw your car leaving Gus Dolan's place

a little while ago.

Said there two guys in it.

Said the place looks like it might have been robbed.

Robbed?

- Well, he said there was a sliding glass door open

around in back.

Do you know anything about that?

- Oh, well, I just came from Gus's house.

I had a lunch date with him and I rang the doorbell.

No one answered, so I left.

- You didn't go around in the back?

- No.

- But he said there were two people in the car.

- Oh.

I had another friend with me.

- I see?

Well, probably just a couple of kids

trying to rob the place.

And you rang a doorbell,

scared 'em off and then the cleaning man came.

Well, I think I better check up on it on my way back

and listen, if you see Gus before I do,

have him gimme a call.

- Oh, well I doubt I'll be seeing him, Greg.

I mean, since I sold the company,

I rarely ever see Gus anymore.

- Well that's right, yeah.

He is starting his own businesses.

Been going around town asking for money.

I suppose you'll give him some.

- Maybe.

Last time you saw?

- Oh, I don't know, maybe a week ago.

- Oh, don't forget if you see him before I do

have him gimme a call.

- Sure.

See you later, Sheriff.

We need to move the body from the car, fast.

We'll have to bury him out back.

Come on.

- Get on with it.

Let me get the feet.

You got him?

Hurry up.

- I'm thinking about going away for a short while.

How would you like to go with me?

- Where do you want to go?

- Anywhere, just to get away from here

and put everything that happened behind us.

- I don't care where we go as long as I'm with you.

Sheriff might get suspicious of the leave town together.

- Look, if the sheriff does.

He'd only be guessing sad.

Besides, I told you if we go to the sheriff,

you know we could be convicted.

You can't predict the outcome of the law.

It'd be a lot of scandals and investigations.

We took this choice,

now we have to bury it in our mind like we buried Gus.

We took the only way out.

So where do you want?

- I don't care, anywhere.

Hawaii.

- Ooh, that sounds like a nice romantic spot.

We can just lie back on the beach and take life easy.

I don't care where we go as long as I'm with you.

Like I said.

- OK, tomorrow I'm gonna go to the hospital

and I'm gonna straighten up everything

so that we can go before you have to go back to school.

OK?

- Do you like being with me?

Uh-huh.

Do you like being with me?

I wish I could be with you all the time.

I feel depressed when I'm not with you.

- I don't want you to feel depressed.

I don't want any harm to come to you

and I don't wanna cause you any trouble because of me.

You're a very special person.

- Why you washing your car?

- 'Cause it's dirty.

Why else would I wash it?

- Try and wash your guilt away.

- What guilt?

- For murdering Gus.

Now I warned you about that bitch

and my prediction came true.

You poor sucker, she's got a power over you.

I watched you help her bury Gus.

You're an accomplice to murder,

but she should be the one that should be punished.

I don't know what you're talking about.

- Lie to the sheriff buddy, don't lie to me, huh?

I'm the only one that can help you.

I can give you an alibi,

but you gotta tell me everything.

Now you buried Gus out back of her place.

Now who shot him?

What happened?

- Nobody buried Gus, you imagined that?

- Oh yeah, then where is he?

The sheriff is out looking for him.

Well, if you think you know where Gus is,

why don't you go tell the sheriff?

- Well, why should I?

This is my case.

Why should I let him take the credit for solving it?

Besides buddy, you're my friend.

I don't want to see you go to jail,

but you gotta cooperate with me,

you gotta tell me everything in detail, then I can help you.

- How can I tell you anything?

I don't even know what you're talking about.

- OK, OK.

You're scared.

I don't blame you.

I can understand that.

But I can only give you till tomorrow to cooperate

and confess everything to me.

Otherwise I know what I have to do.

Now you think about that.

- Brian, honey,

I'm on my way to bridge club now

and I'm gonna stop by your father's shop on my way home.

Anything special you want for dinner?

- No Mom, just whatever you feel like fixin'.

- How about your favorite corned beef and cabbage?

- That sounds good.

- Anything wrong?

No, Mom, I'm fine.

You sure?

- Sure.

- Well, you know you haven't been the same

since that accident.

I'm gonna have Dr. Evans give you a good checkup.

Maybe you just need some vitamins.

Bye. - Bye, Mom.

I'll see you later.

- Bye.

- Dr. Evans here, hello.

- Carol, listen, I'm sorry to call you at the hospital.

- Brian, that's all right.

- Listen, David knows about Gus.

- How could he?

He was watching.

- Are you sure?

Positive.

Well, did he tell anyone?

- Just me so far.

Listen, we've gotta get Gus's body out of there.

- Meet me at my place in half an hour

and we'll take care of it.

Maybe David was bluffing, guessing.

- No.

Must have been watching.

He knew exactly where the body was hid.

He probably won't go to the sheriff, not for a while anyway.

He thinks he's so much smarter than the law.

- And if he does get the sheriff involved,

Gus will have disappeared.

- Where are we going?

- I know a place out of town

where no one will ever find him.

Why don't we stopping?

- It's better if we check in here and wait until dark.

There's less chance of our being seen.

I'll be right back.

I like a room for two, please.

- Twin beds or a double.

- A double.

Do you have a vacancy?

- I always have a vacancy.

How long are you staying?

- Just tonight.

- Oh, you sign in, please.

- Here's a 20.

- Here's the key.

- You can keep the chain.

- Oh, thank you very much.

- There's your key.

Thank you very much.

- Whew.

- Who are you calling?

- My mother, she's expecting me for dinner.

- Mr. Curious owns this motel, he might listen in.

You better use the payphone outside.

- Good idea.

- Brian, what on Earth are you doing in Pearl Blossom?

- Hi Mom, listen, I just didn't want you to worry.

I came out here with Dr. Evans to see a patient,

and Mom, the patient is in critical condition.

She's gonna have to stay and attend her.

We may be here overnight.

- Overnight?

Now, hat do you mean overnight?

You better come home tonight

or your father will throw a fit.

- Oh listen, Mom, I'll be all right.

We got some motel rooms.

- Motel, what motel.

I'll send David there to pick you up.

He was here just now asking about you.

I'm sure he won't mind.

- No, no, Mom, don't do that.

- Well, I'll leave that up to your father.

Whatever he says.

I don't like you going out of town

without even telling me where you're going.

- I'm telling you now.

- And I'm telling you, your father will throw a fit.

Now you better take a bus back.

- Listen mom, I'll try,

but don't worry if I'm not home tonight, OK, bye.

- Now, Brian, will you listen to me?

- What's wrong?

- David might come here and find us.

- David.

- Yeah, when I went and made the call,

didn't have any change.

So I made collect and the operator told my mom

the call was from Pearl Blossom.

And then she got upset when I told her

I might not be home tonight.

And she said she'd send David to pick me up.

I told her not to, but, we'll know.

- We better not chance it.

Let's go and do it now.

- Yeah. - Come on.

- How far away is the place?

- Just hang in there.

We'll be there in a few minutes.

- Take it easy, this is a really muddy road.

- There it is.

See it up in that mountain.

See it?

That's where we're going.

There's nothing around for miles.

Oh.

Let's get the hell outta here.

- Oh, I need a shower.

- Me too.

It's David.

- Oh dammit.

- Hey Brian.

I came here to pick you up.

Now come on, get moving.

I'll wait for you my car.

I'm parked over there.

- I'm not going anywhere with you, I'm staying here.

- You better come back with me.

Now your mom and dad sent me to pick you up.

I didn't drive all this way

for you not to come back with me.

Now come on, move your ass.

- Listen I'm sorry you had to drive all the way up here,

but I told my mom not to send you.

- Well, she had other ideas

and I'm not gonna go back without you, Brian.

OK?

OK, I will go back without you.

And you know where I'm gonna go, right to the sheriff.

- Then go.

- You don't think I will do you?

Brian, I'm telling you, this is your last chance.

You stay with her.

You know where you're gonna end up, in jail.

- Don't try and bully me.

- You're digging your own grave, you sucker.

- He's gone.

- Hey, I'm glad you didn't let him push you around.

- Well, he's done that for years and I'm tired of it.

Let him go to the sheriff now, he can't prove anything.

- That's right, it's our word against him.

- You be your sweet.

- Come on, let's take that shower.

- Yeah.

It's hot.

- Ooo, it is hot.

Need a little cold.

- Apologize for dragging out, Sheriff.

But this is gonna be well worth.

- Yeah, just where is it, David?

- It's right up there, right in here.

You're not gonna be sorry you came, either.

- Wait a minute, is there anybody home here right now?

- Don't worry about that.

My criminology skills are very sharp and acute.

Just follow me, please, Sheriff.

- Criminologist.

Boy, you better know what you're talking about.

I hope this is now one of your

tall and exaggerated stories again.

- No, no, it isn't, I swear to you.

I saw them with my own eyes bury him right up there.

I'm just gonna get their shovel.

Ah, feels good.

- All right, David.

Alright, David, that's enough.

You might as well save your energy and my temper.

- Here, Sheriff, he was buried here, I, I swear it.

- When? - Last night.

- Then where's the body?

- They moved it.

- When and where?

- I don't know.

- David, are you sure you're not making up

this whole thing

- I saw it with my own eyes.

- I swear it, listen,

She murdered her husband and then she murdered Gus.

It only looked like an accident, but you fell for it.

Well I'm onto her.

She killed Gus

and then she got Brian to help her bury the body.

This is a dangerous woman.

- Dangerous, she's a doctor, David.

Here.

She's a very respected woman in this area.

- No, she just, she just puts on a big front.

I don't mean to be funny.

Sheriff, can't you see what's happening?

- Yeah, I can see what's happening.

You're trying to pull some kind of a trick on me, David.

I don't like it.

Now I want you to go back up there

and fill that hole back up with dirt.

And you do it right now.

- Sheriff.

You are making a very, very big mistake.

- The biggest mistake I made, David,

was coming out with you tonight and missing my supper.

- But you gotta do something about her

before she kills Brian.

Can't you just put her in jail?

- Don't waste my time, David.

Now leave the case to me.

And if you ever, ever, pull a thing like this on me again.

You're the one I'm gonna be putting in jail.

- Wait a minute, sheriff.

Look I can, I can see you too smart for me.

So I'm gonna share a piece of evidence.

Look, this is Gus's watch.

- You didn't hear me, did you, David?

Jail?

- I could buy an island in Tahiti

and I could have a little boy

and he would have blue eyes just like you.

And we could eat tropical fish

and we could go sailing every day

and we could lie on the beach and make love

and no one would disturb us.

It'd just be you and me.

We'd be so happy.

Make love to you just like a barracuda.

Why don't you come in the house and I'll fix you breakfast.

- I'd like to, but I'd better get along home now

and try to make peace with my parents.

But I'll be back here when you get back from the hospital.

- Yeah.

- Excuse me, excuse me.

I hate to bother you, I hate to bother you.

Just got back from Pearl Blossom, huh?

You moved Gus's body.

That where you took it?

- David, why don't you just get lost and leave us alone?

- Not until I take you both into the sheriff.

Now I gave you every opportunity to cooperate

and you didn't.

So now I'm taking your both in for the murder of Gus Dolan.

- You're not taking us anywhere.

Got no proof of anything.

Just get lost, will ya?

- Why don't you just stop following us around you punk,

or I'll turn you into the sheriff.

You've been invading my privacy

and I don't have to put up with it.

- Don't talk to me like that lady.

I can prove that you killed Gus.

- We didn't kill anybody.

- Don't lie to me, don't lie to me.

Now I saw you bury him.

So I dug up Gus's buddy and I took this off his wrist.

That's my proof.

- What's that?

- Come on, don't pretend that you don't recognize it.

It's Gus's watch you gave it to him.

There's an inscription on the back here.

"To Gus, love Carol."

- Don't point that gun me.

Put that gun down.

- Just gimme back that watch.

- David.

- Brian, I'm not kidding you, Brian.

Don't you come any closer or I'm gonna pull this trigger.

Dammit David.

Nothin' happened.

- I'm taking you to the hospital.

- No, don't, they'll ask questions.

- I don't care what they ask.

- No, I didn't mean to shoot him.

I just, I just wanted to scare a confession out of him.

Oh no.

Oh.

- Help me move him. - Brian.

I didn't, I don't even know what happened.

I don't even know what happened.

- Please don't take me to the hospital.

I don't want to go there.

Please don't.

- Right now I want you healthy and well again.

That's all that matters.

- Take me some place when nobody knows us.

The sheriff will come to the hospital, he'll investigate.

- No, no harm.

Please, save your strength.

- If I die.

- Don't say that.

You're going to be all right.

I won't let you die.

- But I want you to know that I love you.

I'm not sorry for what's happened.

I'd do it all again.

Do anything to protect you.

- I know you would.

You're going to be all right.

We'll go far away from all this.

Just the two of us.

I'll make it up to you somehow.

- You don't have to make up anything to me, darling.

Do anything for you.

I love you.

I really do, I love.

- I love you too.

Oh dear God, please make him live.

No.

Oh god.

Oh baby I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Oh god.

Oh.

Bye bye.

- Where is he?

- He's dead!

I'm sorry, but he's dead.
