Original subtitles

If I had the money

I would buy me a plane

I would leave behind the shadows

I would leave behind the pain

I would say goodbye

To my friends and lovers

And never come down again

CFCF people.

How are you, everybody?

Five minutes before two o'clock now, mama,

on this steamy Montréal Monday.

92 degrees on the Lakeshore.

Ooh boy, 96 at Place Ville Marie.

Weatherman says we're just starting to cook.

Heading for news time now with some cool sounds from down Brazil way.

We should've thought of this sooner.

Coulda shot the whole story of the beach.

Harry's gonna kill us, Cliff.

He told us to stick downtown.

C'mon, what are you always worried about Harry for?

He's a pussycat.

He's rumored to have political connections.

Play up that angle.

Do you think it had anything

to do with the escape?

Find out, Ed.

That's what we're paying you for, right?

Right. 10-4.

Harry!

Still can't reach Cliff.

Do you want me to keep trying?

Jesus, if I had to depend on him,

I'd be doing a bloody radio show.

Now get one of the standbys.

Hooray for Hollywood.

I am just

Beautiful. Thank you, girls.

Very nice.

For a fancy face

A joker in the street

Out on a foolish chase

Put down here, man.

Oh, nice stuff out there. Nice stuff.

Okay, follow focus on 'em.

Ooh, yeah.

Oh, hell!

Take over. Fake it.

How are you?

This is Cliff Reynolds from Municipal Beach

with two charming young ladies

who seem to have found the answer

to today's record temperatures.

May I have your name, please?

I'm Jennifer Morley.

Darlene Morley.

- Age? - 16.

And what do you do?

I'm a student

And you're in show business, I presume.

I'm afraid not.

Oh, you're a model then.

I'm a stewardess.

But she was in a film once.

That was just in college.

Really? I see.

Well, what is your reaction to today's record temperatures?

The heat doesn't bother me.

It doesn't, eh?

I enjoy it if it lasts all summer.

Well, let's hope we don't get too much

of a good thing though.

This is Cliff Reynolds from Municipal Beach

with two cool young mermaids for CFCF News.

Thanks a lot, ladies. That was great.

What's it for?

It's for the news tonight.

What's it about?

It's a story of the heatwave, darling.

Look, are you sure you haven't done some television?

I'm positive I've seen you.

No, this is my first appearance.

Is it?

Well, look, would you be interested in testing

for a television commercial?

What kind?

I haven't got time to talk about it now,

but if you're interested, give me a call at the studio.

Girl next door types are hard to find.

Guys, come on! We got a deadline.

Don't forget to watch.

What time?

7:00 or 11:00.11:00 for sure.

Bye.

Excuse me. Mr. Reynolds?

Yeah.

Could you spare a minute? It won't take a minute. I, uh...

I'm on your film.

Well, that's okay, isn't it?

It is not okay. I'm, uh...

I'm here with my friend,

and I'm married, and it's rather embarrassing.

You understand.

Yeah. That kind of thing's always embarrassing.

Don't worry about it. You won't be on the news.

You sure?

Yeah. I think I can arrange it.

Thank you. We'd really appreciate it, Mr. Reynolds.

Good luck.

I guess it's all right. Let's go.

No no, let them go first.

What do you mean?

I got it to you when I said I would,

and I expect it back on time.

How are you, Harry?

Yeah. No... no, no, no, no, no, no.

No, that'll be too late.

Okay, 5:30.

Where the hell have you been?

We've been trying to reach you all afternoon.

We've been shooting at the beach.

At the beach!

Well, you said you wanted a story

on the heatwave, didn't you?

- These are no good. - What about these?

- Yeah, those are better. - Use one of those.

Harry?

Harry, what about the heatwave? How long do you want it?

I can't use it.

Can't use it?

There's been an escape today or hadn't you heard?

I mean, that's why we were trying

to get a hold of you all afternoon.

Oh, well, there's a whole day of shooting down the drain.

How good is it?

It's good. You kidding?

Bikinis. Human interest.

30 seconds. No more.

Tonight at 11:00.

Not bad. Further on.

Okay, start to slow down there.

Right there!

Right from here.

Who are they?

The Morley sisters.

That one over there is the oldest one.

She's a stewardess.

Oh, I see you've made contact already, eh?

Cliff Reynolds, talent scout.

Fringe benefits, Sid.

I told you to get out of the cutting room.

Wow.

I hate to rush you, Sid, but I'm running a little late.

Oh, yeah? Late for who?

You gotta slow down, Cliff.

- From here. - Right there?

I am just a cowboy

In my fancy red car

Cruising through the summer

Like a grasshopper in a jar

It's Daddy.

Daddy didn't forget.

Hello, birthday girl.

Don't you look pretty.

Both my girls.

Sorry I'm late.

Hey, I see you've been busy.

Yeah.

What's in the big one, Daddy?

You get the small one first.

There it is. Go and open it.

Come on.

- Okay! - The big one, Daddy.

No, open that one first.

What's in this one?

You'll see.

Records.

Now for the big one.

Can you guess?

Ta-da!

Record player.

Stereo.

What are these?

These are the speakers.

Hey, take it easy here. This has gotta be plugged in.

Will you ever learn not to play with fire

So you don't get burned

When will you ever

And a little something for the birthday parents.

Chambolle-Musigny '67.

You must be insane.

What's wrong?

She is six years old.

She doesn't even know what stereo means.

But that's what she wanted.

It's just a word to her.

If you spent any time with her, you'd know that.

- Now don't start anything. - It's her birthday.

I don't know how you expect me to feel.

Wine every night, your fancy restaurants, that damn car.

Cliff, there isn't enough money

in the account to pay the bank loan.

So? We'll get an extension.

We have already had an extension on our extension.

Honey, the whole country's run on deficit financing.

That's what makes the system work.

When will you ever learn

When will you...

Good evening. I'm Andrew Markie

with the seven o'clock Pulse News.

Tonight's headlines are from...

It started.

First from Ottawa, the nation's parliamentary crisis

continued today without any indication...

- We haven't missed anything. - ...of a compromise.

Government spokesmen refuse to confirm

or deny that an election announcement is imminent.

In Montréal, a daring escape today

and a nationwide manhunt is on.

Derek Lind has that story.

Jerry Cuozzo, much publicized underworld figure,

was rushed from Bordeaux Jail early this afternoon

to nearby Riverside Hospital

after suffering from an acute ulcer attack.

At 2:30, he was reported missing

from the hospital's special security section.

Prison officials are refusing to give details,

but police are investigating a report

a man was seen climbing the fence at the rear

of the hospital and heading towards the river.

The current is especially treacherous in this area.

Police say there is little likelihood a swimmer

could negotiate these waters.

Cuozzo was being held for trial

on narcotics charges involving more than a million dollars.

Police recovered a small quantity of heroin

at the time of arrest,

but most of the shipment has yet to be found.

For this reason, it is believed that Cuozzo is wanted just

as badly by his former associates,

who were apparently bypassed in the transaction.

Derek Lind, Pulse News.

More news from City Hall on plans

for the controversial North-South Expressway.

In a news conference...

We have all his people covered.

Everyone he ever worked with.

When he makes a move, we have him.

He's made a move,

and we don't know who helped him.

Why is that?

So, despite the growing protests,

it appears likely the expressway will go ahead as planned.

Later word now on that escape

from Bordeaux Jail this afternoon.

Barbara?

We have confirmed a report

that Jerry Cuozzo's girlfriend,

Gabriella Ward, sometime television personality

and model was seen arriving

at Ottawa Airport a short time ago.

She was with a man matching Cuozzo's general description,

but identification could not be verified.

Ottawa police and the RCMP are cooperating fully

in the search.

That's interesting.

Montréalers sweltered today

as weather made the news.

With the humid details, here's Don McGowan.

Andy, it was everyone into the pool today

as the temperature rose sharply as predicted.

Our high was 97 degrees. No relief in sight.

We'll have a film story

on the summer's first heatwave on the 11 o'clock Pulse News.

A cell of high pressure has...

If that film is on, everything goes out the window.

- He said it wouldn't be. - If it is...

how long do you think it would take them to trace you?

Washington had a record 109.

Ooh, that's enough.

It looks like a two-bottle night.

Oh no, you don't. Coffee's on.

Listen to this one, Daddy.

We've heard that one twice already.

Turn it down, love.

But it's better when it's loud.

When will you ever learn

I'll get the coffee.

When will you ever learn

Hello.

Turn it down, love.

Yes, he is. One moment, please.

For you.

Hello.

Mr. Reynolds? We haven't met,

but you photographed my gentleman friend and I

at the beach this afternoon.

He talked to you about it.

Oh, sure. I remember.

Could we make some arrangement with you to get that film?

Why? I told him there was no problem.

But we don't want to take any chances of embarrassment.

You understand.

We're quite prepared to show our appreciation.

Would $500 make it possible, Mr. Reynolds?

Yes, it's worth that much to us, but it must be tonight.

- Well, if it's that important. - Where can I meet you?

Do you know the The Crescent Rally Club?

I'll be at the bar at nine o'clock.

Nine o'clock? Okay, I'll see you then.

I'm sorry about this, honey. It won't take long.

How much do you expect me to take?

Look, it's money. It's a chance to make $500.

Doing what?

I have to go back to the studio,

find some film for a lady.

A lady.

Go!

That's one-one.

There's three. That's four.

I'll buy that one.

Come on, David.

You've seen Sid?

Yeah, he just left.

- There's one. - Come on, Dave. Come on!

Go ahead, David. You need one more.

Stop the clock!

You did it. You beat the clock.

Sensational. Oh, terrific.

Jerry, you shouldn't smoke.

What's happened to Gabriella?

Relax, Jerry. Gabriella will call.

I want you to be careful with this Reynolds guy.

I'll handle him exactly as you said.

Baby, you don't know how much I love you

Can you turn around

And I'm gonna be leaving you here

With a sad, sad song, woah

Yes, sir?

J&B, no ice.

Fly away on a Bluetail jet

Having so much fun though

You're on the go again

The fun starts the minute you board the plane

When you're flying

Check, please.

Three Scotches, $5.25.

Mr. Reynolds?

Please get in.

I've been waiting since nine o'clock.

I'm sorry. Please get in.

Do you have the film?

No, I don't.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means I haven't found it yet.

He's willing to keep looking,

but $500 won't cover his expenses.

So that's it? Is he still with you?

Okay. You haven't been followed?

You're sure?

Mr. Reynolds, thank you for coming.

Why don't you come in?

What do you drink?

- Straight Scotch. - Hello?

We were wondering what happened to you.

Just a moment.

Toronto.

Make our guest comfortable.

Hello?

Hi, love. I was beginning to worry about you.

Is everything all right?

I'm sorry we're late, Jerry.

One or two delays, but everything's fine.

What about you?

A minor complication, but I think I can handle it.

How's your friend?

Oh, he's well. He's happy in his work.

No, darling, I won't make him too happy.

Male models aren't exactly my type.

Have a good trip.

Thank you.

Two economy to New York, please.

Yes, sir. One-way or returns?

One-way.

How much is that?

$74.

When does it leave?

At 10:30, sir.

Yes, Jerry. I will.

Take care. Bye-bye.

Any luggage?

Oh, just hand luggage.

Everything all right?

Fine, darling.

Gate 49. Boarding immediately.

Thank you.

Final call for Air Canada Flight 253

for New York City boarding at Gate 49.

Suppose I call you a liar, Mr. Reynolds?

We shoot a lot of film. It'll take time.

And your time is worth more than $500?

You'll have to be the judge of that, I guess.

Is your drink okay?

Yup, it's fine.

What if I decide not to pay you?

That's up to you, isn't it, Mr. Cuozzo?

Isn't this a little out of your league, Mr. Reynolds?

I want you to understand I've taken precautions.

Like what?

The film could get into the wrong hands.

It's very generous.

$2,000 to be exact.

Call it a down payment.

Drink up.

It's been a long day.

Your wife will be expecting you. You have a family?

Yes, I have a daughter.

Really?

How old is your daughter, Mr. Reynolds?

She's six. Six today, in fact.

Well, I hope she has many happy returns.

I hope to have kids someday myself.

Okay, when do you want the film?

Oh, that's not so important

now that I have your friendship.

You said this was a down payment.

And I'll match it in a day or two

once I'm sure I can count on your discretion.

Now you'd better get home to your wife and daughter.

I'll be in touch.

Cliff?

Yeah.

You know what time it is?

Yeah, I'm sorry.

I dropped in for a few drinks after my meeting.

Then there's the mayor's arrival at the airport.

Billy, you and Carl take that.

And try and get a statement.

Now I want to follow up on the Cuozzo story.

He and his girlfriend apparently bought two tickets

in Toronto last night for a flight to New York,

but the FBI reports no trace of them when the plane arrived,

so there should be a police statement.

Cliff, you'd better check on that.

If he's in Toronto, we expect your people to find him.

Same as we would do here.

We're aware of the New York reports.

Our colleagues are checking.

Good, good.

Please do not tell me my business.

I know my responsibilities.

Okay.

Dominic giving you a hard time?

Everyone will be giving me a hard time

until we resolve this matter.

Think he recognized us?

Looking like this?

I think you look great.

I dig the natural look.

Do you mind?

Mozart again?

He wrote this when he was nine.

It's enough to restore your faith in humanity.

What's the next stop on this cook's tour?

A motel near Niagara Falls.

Now that has possibilities.

Miss Morley, let me present Chef Jean.

How do you do?

Pleased to meet you.

Merci, Jean.

When I called you this morning,

I never expected anything like this.

Wait till you try the Tournedos Rossini.

Mr. Reynolds?

Merci.

I think your camera's going

to be a little out of focus this afternoon.

- That's how you win awards. - I'll call it cinema verite.

We'd just about given you up.

Gentlemen!

- I'd better handhold. - Get me the shoulder brace.

Acting Inspector Murray will make a brief statement.

Sound is ready.

- Good afternoon, gentlemen. - This will be brief.

At the moment, we have nothing further

of a concrete nature to report on Jerry Cuozzo.

What about reports he was

in Toronto and New York?

I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to comment

on specific reports.

As you know, there are other people

who seem to want Mr. Cuozzo as badly as we do.

Do you mean George Sterzi?

No comment.

How much heroin is involved?

A significant amount.

Can you give us any details?

Well, our information is

that Cuozzo brought in two shipments on his own from France.

The first he's already sold on the American market.

What are the chances

of finding him alive, Inspector?

We prefer to think positively.

The tax lawyer is here.

In a minute.

Wait. Wait, Sal.

You'd better hear this.

I want the word passed.

There's now an open contract on Jerry for...

$25,000.

Make sure his own people know.

I think you should be quite comfortable here.

What about you?

It's safer if we aren't together.

No one will see us. Let's have a drink at least.

Really I'd like to Bob, but we might spoil everything.

Where are you staying?

Somewhere in town.

This will all be over with tomorrow.

No me, no Wolfgang Amadeus.

Remember, the name is Norman Kovacs with an "s"

With an "s".

If you should change your mind about that drink,

you can always get my room number from the clerk.

I will, Mr. Kovacs.

Norman to you.

See you.

- It's quitting time. - Let's go and have a blast.

Come on, come on.

It looks like you've had a head start.

One or two.

No, I gotta finish here.

Come on. I'm buying.

Said the magic word.

Hello.

I'll see you in the lobby.

Hey, Cliff.

Sexy voice.

Oh, yeah?

Hello?

Hello, it's Barbara Lawrence.

Oh, hello. How are you?

Fine, thank you. Just fine.

I was wondering if you'd be free to drop by

for a cocktail, perhaps on your way home.

Well, that's very kind of you.

I'm afraid I'm pretty well tied up.

Well, that's too bad. I have your final installment.

My friend left it for you.

Oh, he's checked out, has he?

Really?

Oh, I must admit

your invitation's sounding better all the time.

So you're not too happy on the news beat.

No, the sooner I get back to documentaries, the better.

I start one this weekend in Toronto in fact.

Really? Sounds interesting.

That's a stunning dress.

Thank you. It's one of my own designs.

- You designed it? - Mm-hmm.

I have a boutique on Crescent Street.

Originals and imported lingerie.

Imported? Great, I never buy domestic.

Well, maybe I could show you some samples...

at the shop for your wife.

Thanks very much.

I think we'd better get our business out of the way.

I have your final installment,

but there's something Mr. Cuozzo would like you to do

for him in return.

Oh?

It's a phone call.

What kind of phone call?

He left his instructions.

- $2,000? - Mm-hmm.

Can you make out his handwriting?

"Phone call is to George.

No last name at this number."

And he said you're not to leave your name.

"You say exactly this."

It's about Jerry Cuozzo. I know where he is.”

Although no landing was attempted

on this trip, it's obvious we've got a lot

to learn from the Earthling.

Now, first close up shots of that Earthling.

Here, we see him at dinner, a carefully...

Of course wild rice with the duck.

Hello?

Endive salad, no garlic.

No, he's not here.

And for dessert?

Who's speaking please?

I said he's not here. I'll take a message.

He's at the Ideal Motel, Highway 405

near Niagara Falls.

What name?

Norman Kovacs.

K-O-V-A-C-S.

I'm helping him because I have to.

It's as simple as that.

Oh, I thought you and he were...

Were is right. 10 years ago.

When I was a little less wise.

He set me up in business,

and Jerry is someone who believes in collecting his debts.

I find it hard to think of you as the domestic type.

That's because you don't really know me.

Why don't you choose the wine?

You seem to be quite a connaisseur.

It's 8:30 in the honeymoon capital

of the world.

Wakey, wakey, rise and shine, lovers.

Old man weather's gonna sock it to us again today.

The humidity will hit 100%

with a high of, would you believe, 98 scorching degrees.

What do you say we spend the day under the Falls

or beat the heat with the cool sounds of 900 Radio?

Good morning. Mr Cuozzo?

Sorry, Harry. Bad night.

Bad night.

It's okay. You're on standby.

What's with the Cuozzo story?

It's all over. It was on the wire an hour ago.

He had his head blown off.

In Niagara Falls of all places.

Cliff!

Let me in.

What is it?

Open the door.

What's wrong, Cliff?

Don't play games with me.

Cuozzo is dead because of my phone call.

Keep your voice down.

What the hell do you think I am,

some kind of flunky who's used to being pushed around?

Good morning.

What the hell's going on?

Surprised?

Who was he?

He?

Your victim in Niagara Falls.

Oh, a guy who looked like me,

who just happened to be carrying my papers.

Barbara, I think your guest could use some coffee.

Don't walk away from me!

I made a deal with you.

You were happy enough to take the money.

I didn't know it was murder.

I didn't kill anyone.

You planned it.

$2,000 is a lot for one phone call.

But don't get me wrong now, I'm not complaining.

It was worth it to me because my friend George is going

to have a lot of explaining to do.

Gentlemen, it's a little early

to expect me to go anywhere.

We have a warrant, Mr. Sterzi.

I assume you've heard of George Sterzi.

I sure have.

Where are you going? I paid you $4,000, mister!

You think you could just walk away?

Helping a fugitive,

taking money for it,

and now an accessory to murder.

If you have any ideas of doing something foolish,

just remember one thing:

you have a little six-year-old girl.

Now let's go inside, sit down, and be sociable.

Do you take cream, Mr. Reynolds?

I should buy stock in a dairy.

I understand you're going to Toronto Friday.

Who with?

With a station wagon full of equipment.

What about your crew?

They're coming later.

Why?

- I have to scout locations. - What do you want?

I'll let you know tonight.

You sure you won't have some coffee?

Here, allow me.

What's this about tonight?

Sorry to break up your evening again.

Meet me at 10:00 sharp at...

No, tell me now!

Don't say no to me.

Do as I say... please.

Tonight at exactly 10:00,

you'll meet me at the corner of Prince and Wellington.

Right?

Yeah.

Reynolds?

Never say no to me again. Remember that.

Barbara, the gentleman is leaving.

Are you all right?

Well, I didn't think he should trust him.

He'll do what I tell him.

I think you're right. He's terrified.

So terrified, he's liable to do anything.

I think we can trust him.

But what if we can't?

I know him. You don't.

He's not prepared to cope with Jerry's kind of violence.

Jerry, I don't like this.

We're too close now for anything to go wrong.

Hey, hey, hey. Come on now.

Nothing will go wrong, love.

Do we really need him?

I don't know yet.

Cliff?

I said you were on standby.

I had to send another man out with your crew.

I'm sorry, Harry. It's a family problem.

Have a seat.

Now, on the Toronto job, the budget is tight.

Shoot 2,000 feet and no more.

I've lined up interviews with all the leading

authorities on the subject.

A couple of professors at the university.

Yes.

Just a minute.

Hello.

Who?

Jennifer Morley. You have a short memory, Mr. Reynolds.

How are you?

Oh, I'm fine, but I'm gonna have to get back to you.

Oh, it's just that you told me to call you

if I changed my mind about tomorrow.

Well, I decided I can make it after all.

Okay, but...

see, I've gotta go out of town.

Oh, I see.

But I'll call you next week.

Okay?

Fine. Take care.

Your family problem?

Cliff, I've asked the child once to go to bed.

All right, sweetie. It's bedtime.

I'll finish this tomorrow.

Can I have a story?

Your father doesn't have time, Janet.

He has an appointment.

- You go ahead, dear. - I'll be there in a minute.

Now, we've had this out before.

This is business.

Oh, sure. 10 o'clock business.

Business!

Look, with this Toronto thing coming up,

it might be a good idea for you to take Janet

to see your mother.

Stay about a week or so.

That would be convenient for you, wouldn't it?

What are you doing here?

I'm meeting somebody.

What's your name?

Cliff Reynolds.

May I see your driver's license?

Central 2405.

Armed robbery...

Suspect five foot eight, heavyset, black and gray hair.

All right, I'll give you a verbal warning this time.

No stopping after 6:00. Been a lot of robberies around here.

Cliff, come in.

Where's Cuozzo? I missed him.

I was there.

I'm sorry. He couldn't make it.

He's had a really bad attack.

You look exhausted. Why don't you come in and relax?

I'll just take this up to him. Pour yourself a drink.

I'll be right down.

How is he?

He seems better. He's gonna try and get some sleep.

Oh?

He'll contact you tomorrow.

That gives me something to look forward to.

Cliff, I'm sorry about tonight,

but we just couldn't reach you.

The hell's he want from me?

He doesn't confide in me.

He just tells me what he wants me to do.

I'll be as happy as you to see him go.

Is he leaving?

As soon as he can arrange it.

I'd like to blow the lid off this whole thing.

Cliff, it's not only you, there's your family.

Jerry means what he says.

Let me get you another drink.

No, no.

No, thanks.

- Are you sure? - Positive.

It's been quite a day.

Take care.

You too.

Try not to worry too much.

Goodnight.

Goodnight, Cliff.

Look, Miller, we agreed

that you would take delivery of the shipment here.

A straight cash sale.

Now you can't expect me to go to New York.

Yes, I know things have changed.

Okay. Okay, you've made your point,

but New York City is out of the question.

Somewhere upstate. I don't know.

Al right, I'll be in touch tomorrow.

Thank you.

Yeah.

You shouldn't have agreed to it, Jerry.

He was ready to call off the deal.

Sterzi's got the pressure on down there.

It's all getting much too dangerous.

Hello?

Is Jerry there, please?

Hello.

Sorry, love. I was talking to New York.

I'll fill you in tomorrow. What about our boy?

Everything's fine.

Came right over here, just as you said he would.

Okay, I told you he would.

I'll be in touch in the morning.

Now you sleep tight, do you hear?

Well, our cameraman friend passed his little test.

That's a good thing

'cause now we have to use him.

Even if it does work, he could still talk afterwards.

I think not.

Come on over here.

Remember, you want me at the boutique

first thing in the morning.

First things first.

What about Barbara?

You're not gonna have her money for her now?

Why don't you let me worry about Barbara?

You've done a marvelous job, Barbara. Really.

I'm glad you like it.

Tell me, is the length all right for you?

Oh, I think so

because the shoes I'm gonna be wearing

are slightly lower than this.

I just wondered about the cuffs though.

Do you think they need tightening?

Well, I suppose we could move it back...

No, Miss Lawrence is expecting me.

Can I have your name, please?

Hello.

This way, please.

These are exactly as they came from France?

Of course.

It's in the padding.

I know where it is.

Open one, please.

Okay, that's enough.

Don't spill it.

Okay, now we have to take them all out.

Why? The other shipment was collected like this.

This isn't gonna be collected.

I thought Jerry told you.

We have to get this out of the country ourselves.

Could you re-sew this?

What about the payment?

What about it?

When do I get paid?

When we get paid.

And when is that, may I ask?

When we deliver.

It's gonna be somewhere across the border.

Upstate New York.

I'm telling you, there was no choice, love.

Miller was going to pull out.

Look, it'd be a lot safer for me if he'd come up here.

You know that.

But our agreement was that I'd be paid before you left.

Yes, I realize that.

But what guarantee do I have?

What guarantee do I have?

Look, love, without you,

none of this would've been possible.

Now we're going to have to move tomorrow, first thing.

I want you to contact Reynolds.

Well, that isn't much time.

Jerry, I'll try. That's all I can do.

Yes. Yes, okay.

Better sew that one up.

Have you got a statement, Mr. Sterzi?

The police have no evidence.

My lawyers are considering what action to take.

Did you know that

Jerry Cuozzo was alive?

I know only what the police tell me.

Do you think he's still in the city?

Barbara?

Any problems?

No. Have you heard the news?

Sterzi, yeah. That changes things.

What time is it?

12:30.

What time does your shop close tonight?

Six o'clock.

Then that's when we leave.

Tonight?

I can't risk hanging around any longer.

You've got one more thing to do for me and that's all.

You'll be rid of me tomorrow.

I'm going to Toronto tomorrow.

You're going tonight.

Only you won't be stopping in Toronto.

I have a delivery for you

to make across the border in Buffalo.

It won't take long.

What kind of delivery?

Something small. You can fit it in with your gear.

My gear won't be allowed across the border

without all kinds of customs papers.

You get them.

It isn't that simple.

It'll take time.

You've got all afternoon.

Look, Reynolds...

this is very important to me.

Now understand that,

and it's just as important to you

and your family.

Jerry, can we have a talk?

Later, love. I have to call New York. They're waiting.

And our friend here has to start working on his... red tape.

George?

Yes, what is it?

Sorry, there's a call

on the private line... about Jerry.

Yes?

Who is this, please?

How did you get this number?

From Jerry Cuozzo.

Yes.

He's leaving the city tonight.

I see.

How do you know that?

Before we go into that,

I want to know if you're interested

in a business proposition.

If I had the money

I would buy me a plane

I would leave behind the shadows

I would leave behind the pain

I would fly beyond the clouds

So high above the rain

And I'd say goodbye

To my friends and lovers

And never come down again

Meet your new assistant.

One stop in town and then we're off to Buffalo.

Okay, let's get your stuff inside.

I want this stuff hidden in your equipment.

What's the best place, the camera?

There's no room in there. Just a motor.

Open it up. Let's have a look.

Maybe I better turn the front lights off.

Yeah.

And what are these?

400-foot magazines.

- Where the film is kept. - Right.

When the film's inside...

it can't be opened, right?

Yeah, it can't be exposed to light.

Open it.

How many do you have?

Six. Two in the car.

That's enough. Go with him, love.

What's wrong?

You know what's wrong.

No, I don't, Jerry.

Jerry...

Jerry, you're wrong.

Jerry!

Yours was the black, right?

Double sugar.

Regular. Right?

No chocolate?

None left. I had to get jelly.

Any comments?

Yeah, find Barbara Lawrence.

Okay.

We've established you were helping Cuozzo.

I've admitted I was helping him.

He was threatening my family.

How long were you helping him?

A few days.

How often did you see him?

Not often.

How much did he pay you?

Nothing.

We found $4,000 at your house.

Your wife can't explain it. Can you?

Two people murdered, and you were running away.

Now is that your equipment or isn't it?

They were forcing me to help them.

I told you that.

To get the stuff out of the country,

the heroin or whatever it was.

- You don't know what it was? - No, didn't know.

Have a taste.

It's open.

Go on.

Well?

Flour.

If you're good, we'll let you bake a cake.

It's packed in your equipment,

and you don't know what it was?

No.

You made a deal with Cuozzo, right?

That's why you were helping him.

That's why he was paying you.

Then you found out they pulled a switch.

This is the result.

Look, why don't you find Barbara Lawrence? She was there.

She was working with you, wasn't she?

She was not.

A doorman in her apartment building says you were in

and out all week.

Cuozzo was there. She was working with him.

And who was working with George Sterzi?

Please, I don't want you to worry, Miss Lawrence.

However, it is imperative that we get you out of the country

as soon as possible.

But won't the police be watching the airports?

We'll make all the necessary arrangements.

There's no problem.

I suppose you don't know George Sterzi?

Sure. I filmed him here yesterday.

Sterzi's involved. We know that.

I've never met the man.

Did he plan the switch and the murders?

I don't know.

I'm a TV cameraman. I'm not a bloody dope peddler.

Sterzi's middlemen are always clean.

Know him?

No.

He was found dead in a Niagara Falls motel

with Cuozzo's papers on him.

Sterzi had him killed by mistake, right?

I don't know.

Okay.

I'm gonna ask you a simple, straightforward question.

Have you had any involvement with George Sterzi?

No.

I think you're lying.

The only answer is Sterzi.

And we can't get at him without you.

Just find Barbara Lawrence.

There's a bulletin out.

But if she's involved with Sterzi,

you know how he operates,

and that leaves us with you.

Tell us what you know about Sterzi.

We're gonna need a head slate, okay?

- Okay, roll. - Excuse me.

Stand back, please.

Can we have a comment, Mr. Reynolds?

My client does not wish to...

Have charges been laid?

There will be no statements.

What's your side of the story, Cliff?

What's your story?

Sorry, no statement this time.

Pulse News learned later in the day

that Reynolds has not been charged,

but is being held on a coroner's warrant

as a material witness.

Throughout the day, police stepped up their efforts

to locate Barbara Lawrence,

whose downtown boutique was the scene

of last night's double murder.

Finally, late this afternoon, their search came to an end,

as exclusive Pulse News film reveals.

The car was found abandoned 20 miles north of the city

off Route 11.

In the trunk, police made a grim discovery.

The body of attractive 34-year-old Barbara Lawrence

bound hand and foot and shot twice through the head.

Police are now working

to establish the link between this gangland-style killing

and the two murders last night.

Pulse News will remain on the scene

here at police headquarters awaiting further developments,

including a possible statement

from material witness, Cliff Reynolds.

That was a special live report

from CF man on the spot, Derek Lind.

Sterzi's involved. We know that.

And of course, any further developments

will be reported on...

But we can't get at him without you.

Well, the day's other big story was

from old man weather.

He finally gave us a break.

He was found dead in a Niagara Falls motel.

Sterzi had him killed by mistake, right?

Andy, a big sigh of relief

all over the province as that cold front moved

through the forecast area overnight.

There has been a dramatic drop

in temperature back to normal values.

Oh, if you're counting, the heatwave lasted four days,

and the summer isn't over yet.

Tell us what you know about Sterzi.

For the next few days,

we'll be more comfortable.

In the wake of that cold front, we have partly cloudy skies

just west of us...

I am just a fool

For a fancy face

A joker in the street

Out on a foolish chase

I am just a dreamer

In the shadows of a dream

I would wade out deeper

But the tide is cold and mean

If I had the money

I would buy me a plane

I would leave behind the shadows

I would leave behind the pain

I would fly beyond the clouds

So high above the rain

And I'd say goodbye

To my friends and lovers

And never come down again
