Hello?

Hello?

Jane, are you there?

Answer me.

Hello?

Answer me!

Hello.

Hello!

Jane!

Ladies, if you would please join me in the next room.

Won't you make yourselves comfortable, please?

There's a great deal I have to say to you. A great deal,

And then I'd like to read this will to you.

Ladies, this gentleman is Bill Morrissey.

I am John Erickson.

And for many years, I've been your mother's attorney

and confidant and good friend.

Sandy.

Ginny.

Nancy.

You are sisters,

Sisters?

That's right. You three are sisters.

That's ridiculous.

As I explained in the telegrams I sent you,

Jane Tennay, the deceased, is your mother.

I don't believe it.

Up until two days ago, I was an orphan,

Now you want to convince me

that I have two sisters and a mother?

Come on now.

I suppose it would be easiest to begin at the beginning,

I watched Jane grow from a lovely teenager

to a beautiful, exciting, and desirous woman.

Then Jane met Mike Burns.

Fell madly in love with him and married him.

A year later, a child was born.

Sandy, you are that child.

I went away to law school.

When I returned, Jane came to me for a divorce.

You, Sandy, were sent to a foster home.

Poor mother.

Where is he? My father,

Bill, why don't you tell the girls

about Jane's activities?

When I first saw your mother,

I realized what an asset she would be to our government.

After many months, I convinced her to become an agent.

Agent 73, to be exact.

First you tell us we three are sisters.

Then you hit me with a Mata Hari mother, What's next?

Well, my dear, that's the way it was,

Your mother's first assignment was to crack

an international spy ring with headquarters in Moscow,

Jane used the only weapon she had

to get the information we needed.

Because it was her first assignment,

Jane must have been careless.

Some months later, you, Ginny,

occupational side effect number one, were born.

Jane went to Munich to get the information we had to have

about a new top-secret underground testing device.

It seems that, once again, Jane was careless,

and then you, Nancy,

occupational side effect number two, were born,

As years went by, your mother made some very

successful investments and she became exceedingly wealthy.

And now I would like to read your mother's will.

"I, Jane Tennay, do hereby leave my entire estate

to my three precious daughters, Sandy, Nancy, and Ginny,

to be divided equally, giving $1 million to each daughter.

Should one of my daughters die before this will is executed,

the money is to be divided between the remaining two,

Should two of my daughters die,

then the survivor shall inherit all three million.

And if all three die, then my money goes to

The executor of my estate.

My dear and advisor, John Erickson.

If by chance I am murdered, Sandy, Nancy and Ginny

will have one year to avenge my death

in order to collect their inheritance.

If, after one year, they are unable to find my murderer,

then all my money, once again, goes to John Erickson.

My dear girls, it was necessary to send you away

to separate schools where your identity was not known

to safeguard you from my enemies.

Now all you have is each other.

Stay together, live in my house,

get to know one another as sisters.

Love one another and avenge my death,

Signed,

Jane Tennay."

In your mother's desk is a folder

with the pictures of four men,

one of whom I am convinced is your mother's killer,

She must've been so unhappy.

Shall we go now?

I took the Liberty of sending all of your luggage

directly to your mother's house.

Listen, I don't think I'm going with you.

I'll stay at the airport until I get a flight to Chicago.

You can send my luggage there,

Please think it over,

I'd like us to get to know each other. We are sisters.

- I'll drive the girls. - But you can't.

What's the matter with you, John?

These girls will never find the house.

You'd better to come with us, Sandy.

Quick! Get into my car.

We can't be here when the police arrive.

Why aren't the police

investigating my mother's murder?

Because your mother had officially left the AIC

and was no longer an agent of the government

when she was killed.

The case is out of our hands.

We cannot take any steps at this time

towards finding her murderer,

And because of the nature of her work,

we cannot call in the police,

Therefore, it is up to you to find the assassin,

if you want to avenge your mother's death

And inherit the $3 million.

You'll have to let yourselves in. I must get back to town.

Call me if you need anything.

Thank you, Mr. Erickson. You've been just great.

- Thank you, Mr. Erickson. - Goodbye, girls.

Remember, I'm at your service,

Goodbye, And thanks, I suppose.

Mr. Erickson, he sure thinks of everything,

Sandy, Ginny, let's talk,

I suppose we do have a great deal to talk about.

I do wish you wouldn't be so indifferent, Sandy,

What's the matter with you, anyway?

I think we should at least try to get along.

After all, we are sisters,

Sort of sisters.

I think we should look at the rest of the house.

Ginny, come here, Take a look at this.

That looks like a picture of me.

It really looks like you,

I wonder who he is.

Mother was beautiful, wasn't she?

She doesn't look beautiful to me.

All of the bedrooms are pretty much alike,

so it doesn't matter which one you choose.

I'll take that room.

This!

Come on in,

Okay.

Here goes nothin'.

Oh, it's good.

Oh, this is great.

Just a minute!

The door is open. Come on in!

Next time, use the back door.

Well, it's about time you got here,

Our cupboard is almost bare,

You certainly deserve a big tip

for carrying such a big package,

but I don't have any change.

Maybe this will do, instead,

That's enough. Now get out.

Get out!

Stop it!

Leave me alone!

Stop, I tell you!

Help, help!

Oh! What's happening?

Get off! Get off!

Get outta here!

Get out!

Stay out!

Hey, you didn't pay me, lady! Hey!

Hey, lady!

Hey, lady! You didn't pay me!

Sandy, Ginny? Come in here, please.

This is the folder that Mr. Erickson left on mother's desk.

It contains all the information

about the four men that we're looking for.

This is much, much better than "Mission: Impossible...

"Joe Bianco: age 38, five foot seven, weight 175 pounds.

Last known address: Eight Sunset Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada.

Bianco is usually found in his Las Vegas casino, Cavelito,

Hans Mueller: age 42, weight 180 pounds,

height, six foot one,

Last known address: 2-98 Redford Drive, Fresno, California,

Thomas Fleet: age 54,

height, five foot eight,

weight, 140 pounds,

Last known address: 17 Balfour Avenue, New York City,

Maurice Stolla: age 60.

Last known address: 9-20 East 81st Street, New York City,"

If one of these men did kill our mother,

then it's going to be up to us to find him.

Since there are three of us and four suspects,

do you have any ideas how we should split this up?

You take two.

Give the little lush over there two and count me out.

I don't care who killed Mata Hari,

Maybe you don't,

but I bet you care a lot about the million dollars,

Well, a million dollars.

Three million is much more exciting.

We take all the risks while you-

I think I'll go back to bed.

Sandy, I'm going now,

I just wanted to say goodbye.

Goodbye, Ginny,

Come in.

I'm leaving now.

Goodbye, Ginny, and good luck.

Remember to keep in touch with me

and let me know what's happening.

I will,

Now, Ginny, you know where I'll be in Fresno,

if you want me.

The Willis hotel, right?

That must be your cab, Ginny,

- You be careful, too. - Of course I will.

Bye.

Bye now,

Yes.

I'm looking for Maurice Stolla.

- I'm Maurice Stolla. - But..

You're probably looking for my father.

Oh, yes, your father.

I'm afraid you're a little late.

My father died at the Bahamas six months ago.

But he couldn't have,

It's hot out here in the hall.

Wouldn't you like to come inside and cool off with a drink?

Maybe I can help you. My father and I were very close.

I know everything about his affairs.

I'll take you up on that drink,

but I really don't think you can help me,

Whatever you say,

I just got in from Miami and I'm tired,

A drink will help. - Rum and Coke all right?

Fine.

Now, what is this all about?

I'm afraid I can't tell you,

- Course you can, - Thanks,

Why do you want to see my father?

Have another drink.

Thank you.

Oh, I gotta sit down,

This'll help. Here you are,

What is this all about?

No. Nancy will be very, very angry,

Million dollars,

My very own mother, age 73.

Someone killed her!

Gotta catch them,

So sad. Poor mother.

Gotta go,

Got, gotta find Mother's killer.

That drink looks awfully lonesome,

Hey, what's the matter?

I guess you've had it.

Hey.

Come on. Get up, sleepy head,

I'd like to go back to my hotel. Could you call me a cab?

A cab isn't necessary, I'll be glad to drive you.

- Did I say anything? - You sure did,

I always talk too much when I drink,

You told me everything.

Oh, no!

Yes,

And I know who may have killed your mother,

Who did it, Maurice? Who did it?

Now you get dressed and I'll tell you

on the way to the hotel.

Well, I'm ready.

Maurice, who killed my mother?

All right.

I'll tell you who killed your mother,

Your mother was killed by..,

Thousands of women divorce their husbands,

but that doesn't mean they give their children

to someone else to raise,

I hate her!

All right in there?

You must be so bored in there!

The elevator is fixed.

We'll have you out in a jiffy.

- Yes? - Is Thomas Fleet in?

The professor is not at home, but I expect him any minute.

- Who are you? - I'm the caretaker.

Oh, you're in luck, Here he is now.

Oh, he's...

He's been like that for five years. Poor man.

Oh, my god! Professor!

What happened? Somebody get a doctor!

The professor's been shot!

Get an ambulance, quick!

Please, hurry up!

Professor,

My god,

I beg your pardon, sir.

Yes, miss? Can I help you?

I'm looking for Hans Mueller,

There is no Hans Mueller here.

Does the name Jane Tennay mean anything to you?

Come inside, please.

Come.

If I knew I was going to have company...

- Bachelor's quarters, you know. - I understand.

Sit down.

Bleeding ulcers. I'm in bad condition, you know,

Why are you looking for Hans Mueller?

And what do you want with Jane?

She's my mother.

And I'm sorry to say, my mother's dead.

Jane, dead?

That's right, and I'm looking for her murderer.

And what do you want from me?

Well..,

Well, I don't know.

Do you think I killed your mother?

Did you?

Kill her? I loved her.

The last time I saw Jane was in Marrakesh,

We spent a week together. I'll never forget it.

She was a woman like no other woman.

You sound as though you really cared for her.

Jane was the only woman I ever loved.

My darling Jane.

My love.

My own true love.

Oh, my dear,

Jane.

So he finally killed you after all.

Who?

Who killed her?

Later, later.

I'll tell you later.

Now I want to love you. Just to love you.

Who killed my mother?

You know who did it. Tell me!

First, let me love you, Jane.

I'm not Jane. I told you,

Taxi!

Taxi!

Front desk.

I'd like to speak to Joe Bianco at the Cavelito casino,

- Joe Bianco speaking. - I must see you.

- Did you make an appointment? - I didn't.

Well, I'm a very busy man,

Just want a few minutes of your time,

I don't know,

Believe me, It's imperative.

As you know, I'm at the Cavelito casino.

Come upstairs the room 22A.

I'll see you in a few minutes.

Come in.

- Are you Joe Bianco? - That's right.

Why are you looking at me like that, Mr. Bianco?

Forgive me for staring,

but you look amazingly like someone I used to know.

Sit down. - Thank you.

- Mind if I smoke? - No, of course not.

What did you say your name was?

I didn't, but..,

Excuse me.

Yes?

I'll be right there.

Be back in a minute.

"To Joe, with all my love, Jane,"

You must be Jane's daughter,

I heard somewhere that Jane had a daughter, or daughters.

I should have known who you are.

You look exactly like your mother.

When was the last time you saw my mother,

Mr. Bianco?

It was a long time ago.

Here.

To Jane,

And her beautiful daughter.

You know, your mother was quite something.

I once saw her shoot three men in two seconds.

Oh, come on now, Mr. Bianco.

And then calmly walk away,

as though she'd just came from church!

My mother is dead, Mr. Bianco.

Someone murdered her and I'm going to find him.

Since you're here, I suppose you think I did it.

That I killed Jane,

Is that it?

I'm sorry to disappoint you, my dear, but I didn't kill her.

Well, if it wasn't you, who was it?

Jane had a lot of enemies, but she also had many lovers.

I could name a dozen or more men who wanted her dead.

Lovers?

Who were they?

Take your pick.

Jane probably laid every man in that phone book.

What are you saying?

Your mother was nothing but a whore,

who screwed her way to the top.

She was cruel, she was vicious.

She had compassion for no one,

How dare you speak that way about my mother!

"With all my love, Jane."

That's a good one,

Jane never loved anyone but herself.

She was glad to get rid of you.

That whore.

She loved me! She did!

Why, you!

Now, get out before I kill you!

Like mother, like daughter, you whore,

Front desk.

Nancy Tennay at the Willis hotel

in Fresno, California,

Hello?

Nancy, this is Ginny. I'm in trouble,

Ginny, what's wrong?

I just killed a man,

Ginny, calm down.

Now, look.

We both knew that one of us would have to commit murder

when we found the man who killed Mother,

But that's just it. I'm not sure if he was the one.

Can they trace the killing to you?

No, I don't think they can trace it to me.

I don't think I can get a plane home tonight, but,

I'll be leaving first thing in the morning.

I'm going home, too.

Ginny, take care. See you at home.

Sandy, Ginny?

Are you there?

Is anyone at home?

What's the matter?

Let me in. I want to talk to you.

Please answer,

Oh, god. Please answer.

Hello.

Let me speak to Mr, Erickson. It's very important,

May I ask who's calling Mr. Erickson?

This is Ginny, Jane Tennay's daughter.

Mr, Erickson isn't in his office right now.

Please ask Mr, Erickson to come out to the house

right away, it's an emergency.

Very well.

Oh, Mr, Erickson, I just called your office.

Your secretary said you were out.

I was on my way here, but why did you call me?

You seem very upset, Ginny.

Why don't you tell me what's the matter?

Nancy's dead. Someone killed her.

I think it was Sandy. - Are you sure?

Sandy must've killed her. Now she's gonna kill me, too.

Calm down, Ginny.

It's the money,

$3 million with a great deal of money.

She wants all of it. The entire $3 million,

People will do anything from money,

But kill her own sister? How could she?

Now, now. Everything's gonna be all right.

Ginny, I'm here now.

I'm scared, Mr, Erickson.

Nothing's going to happen to you.

You...

You're just like your mother.

She wouldn't let me touch her, either.

Me.

The only man who ever really loved her.

Does it surprise you that I lived my life for Jane Tennay?

She only came to me when she needed help,

but when I wanted her, she was in someone else's bed.

The $3 million she left and that I want, and will get,

is little enough to pay for all the years

of thankless devotion that I gave her,

You see, my dear, that car explosion was meant

for the three of you and not for Bill Morris.

You?

Hello, Sandy.

You're the man on that picture with my mother,

What are you doing here?

Don't be frightened.

Who are you?

I'm Mike Burns.

I'm your father.

My father?

I see you're getting ready to leave.

That's good. We'll go together.

I'm not going anywhere with you,

But Sandy, you must go with me.

You're mad.

Don't look at me like that.

That's the way Jane looked at me, the day she turned me in,

What do you mean, the day she turned you in?

When I married your mother, I was working for the AIC,

The money I made was not enough to satisfy Jane's needs.

She wanted expensive clothes, jewelry, furs,

I knew that if I didn't give them to her, I'd lose her.

I couldn't let that happen,

I loved her too much,

To get the money I needed, I sold out,

I became a double agent,

The government offered a large amount

of money for my capture,

but your a mother found out

and she couldn't resist the reward money.

She turned me in.

The sentence was life.

For the past 20 years, I've been in prison, in hell.

Then three weeks ago, I escaped and came to this house,

- Then you- - I had to kill her!

Kill her!

Kill her.

- You killed Nancy and Ginny. - That's right.

You killed my sisters.

And now all that money is ours.

We'll go away together.

I need you, Sandy.

I did it for you, Sandy.

I killed them all,

all for you.

You bastard,
