All language subtitles for Remington Steele s02e01e02 with Me.eng

- Steal away with me.
- To Mexico?

Sun-drenched days,
glamorous nights.

And you'll get a boot
out of this, Mr. Steele.

We can't find
your tax return.

Oh, my tax return?
Oh!

Some broad's sniffing around
Campos's place.

My people tried to grab her,
but she slipped out from under.

She's in acapulco
looking for you.

- She finds me,
they'll kill her too. - Who'll kill her?

[ Screams ]

Maybe I can have you arrested
before we extradite you.

[ Gasps ]

[ Gunfire ]

[ Doorbell ringing ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Muttering, indistinct ]

Maria, you've gotta stop
forgetting your--

agua, por favor.

Excuse me. Mildred krebs.
I have a 9:30 with miss holt.

Don't we all.

Would you be kind enough
to announce me?

Oh.
Honey, I don't work here.

That's why I'm here--
to find out if I work here.

Is there someone I can see
whodoeswork here?

Some fox took one look at us
and barricaded himself in there.

Excuse me.
Coming through.

[ Gasps ]
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

[ Steele ]
Try to be patient, ladies.

Miss holt will be along
momentarily.

I have an appointment--

yes, yes, yes, yes. I know.
You have an appointment to see miss holt.

I can't imagine
what's detained her. She's usually so prompt.

- Are you remington Steele?
- Please accept my apologies.

You're the person
I should be speaking to. I'm sorry.

Hiring a new secretary's
miss holt's bailiwick.

-If you'll just take a seat with
the other ladies over there. -You don't understand.

- I'm Mildred krebs.
- I wouldn't dispute that for a moment.

It's about your audit!

"Mildred krebs.
Field representative.

Internal revenue service"?

Nothing to be alarmed about.
Uh-huh.

I know how that word "audit"
strikes terror in the hearts of the average person.

Yes, well, you don't know
the half of it, miss krebs. Nope.

Purely routine,
I can assure you.

Now, you see,
these computers kick out the names at random,

and now it's your turn
to be in the spotlight, so to speak.

See, we did an audit
of your agency...

Which necessitated
a cross-check audit...

On the personal returns
of all the people that work for you.

We have a Laura holt,
Murphy Michaels, bernice foxe. Mm-hmm.

But-- and you'll get a boot
out of this, Mr. Steele--

everybody loves
to give the I.R.S. A big old horselaugh,

and it is embarrassing,
now that I come to think about it,

because...

We--

we can't find
your tax return.

Oh, my tax return?
Oh!

You see,
we put in new computers. Yes.

We went from a 640-I
to a 980-z. Oh.

I kept pushing for a 1020-j,
but, oh, you know these bureaucracies, my dear.

They never listen to
the people who actually have to work these darn machines.

So I guess your tax return
is rattling around in the system someplace.

Lord knows when
it will ever surface.

So if you will just give me
your copy, I will wrap this up in just a few hours.

My copy?
Yes.

Yes. Uh--

your copy.
My copy.

Uh, would you excuse me
for a moment, please?

Thank you.

What's her number?
Uh--

Laura? Where are you?
It's chaos here.

Well, it's no bed of roses here.

I have a roomful
of seething secretaries, not to mention--

I can top that.
I have a dead man in my living room.

A dead man? Oh.
Anyone you know?

According to
his maritime papers, he's my cleaning lady's son.

Ah. Uh,
I'll be right there, okay?

All right.

Ah! Yes, uh--
morning, ladies. [ Chuckles ]

Morning, morning, morning.

His name is Hector figueroa.

He had a detailed map
in Spanish to my house...

And this hotel key.

I thought it was Maria.
She's always forgetting her key.

I go to answer the door,
and there he was, clutching this package wrapped in newspaper.

Package?
Wrapped in newspaper?

This is beginning to smack
ofthe Maltese falcon.

Walter huston
plays a sea captain who, although riddled with bullets,

manages to bring bogart
the falcon wrapped in newspaper.

What was in the package?

A fish?

Hector worked
on a tuna boat.

I don't think he came all this
way with three bullets in him to bring you catch-of-the-day.

[ Coughs ] Sorry.

Maybe you'd better
defrost it first.

Yes.
Good thinking.

-[ Woman screams ]
- Ooh!

[ Maria speaking Spanish ]

I know, Maria. I know.
It was a dreadful, awful thing.

[ Spanish ]

Did your son have
any enemies that you knew of?

[ Spanish ]

Your son, Hector.
[ Spanish ]

In English, please, Maria.
Por favor.

That is not Hector.
He doesn't look anything like Hector.

Hector's much better looking.
But he was carrying your son's papers.

That is not Hector!
I should know my own son.

[ Sniffing ]
Good lord, the fish!

Fish? You're gonna eat
at a time like this?

Maria, please, sit down.
I'll get you a glass of water.

I don't want a glass of water.
I want to know why that man has my son's papers.

Uh--

all right.

Ouch.
Hold it down.

All right.
Watch it.

What's this?

Diamonds!

Huh.
Uh-huh.

Mm-mmm! Mmm!
"D" flawless.

Marquis cut.
Approximately two carats.

Worth about, oh, 75,000
on the open market.

Of course, that's just
a layman's guess.

All clear.
Come on. Why shouldn't it be?

A slight problem came up,
but under the circumstances,

I didn't want
to bother you with it.

On the other hand, what good's
a problem if you can't share it with someone?

Laura holt, may I present
Mildred krebs from the internal revenue service.

Oh, miss krebs.
We had an appointment this morning.

I'm terribly sorry.
No need to apologize.

Let's get on with it, shall we?
Now, according to the corporate return,

which you signed,
miss holt,

the company employed
a bernice foxe as a secretary/receptionist.

Unfortunately, miss foxe
is no longer with us.

Yes, terrible loss.
She ran off with a saxophone player.

No doubt they're enjoying
some hot licks in New York, eh?

And a Murphy Michaels
as an investigator?

I'm afraid Mr. Michaels
also left the agency.

He opened one of his own
in Denver.

Works closely
with the coroner's office.

Murphy always had a flair
for autopsy reports.

I can't imagine
what could be wrong, miss krebs.

Every penny was
scrupulously accounted for.

It seems that the computer
misplaced my return,

and miss krebs simply wants
to take a peek at, uh, my copy.

Your copy?
My copy.

Would you excuse us
for a moment, miss krebs?

- Where are you going?
- Just into the next office.

That's where he went
four hours ago.

Be back before you know it.
Don't get too comfortable.

Well?
[ Phone ringing ]

Give me a moment to think.
You didn't file a tax return for me?

You didn't exist then.
But if I exist now, I must have existed then!

There's a telephone call
for you, miss holt-- a lt. Wilder with the coast guard.

Thank you.
How are you doing?

Oh, just checking the files.
If you'll excuse me for a moment, miss krebs.

Highly confidential.
Ultra sensitive. Okay?

Yes. There you go.
Well, thank you, lieutenant.

According to charts
filed with the coast guard,

Hector's boat was off the coast
of acapulco three days ago. What does that prove?

The fish was wrapped
in an acapulco newspaper three days old.

Oh.
This key is from an acapulco hotel.

Whoever that is
with Hector's papers probably boarded there.

- What are you doing?
- One usually needs a passport for international travel.

- Well, where are you going?
- Mexico.

- Mexico?
- Yes, Mexico.

You know, lupe velez,
Maria montez, Pedro armendaaariz.

- Laura, you just can't
take off like this. - I'm doing it for Maria.

She's worried sick about
her son. He could be in all kinds of danger.

I know.
All the more reason you can't go down there alone.

Then steal away with me.
To Mexico?

Sun-drenched days,
glamorous nights.

Couldn't we be drenched
someplace closer to home?

Is there something
that precludes your going to Mexico with me?

Well, no, it's just that, uh,
I don't have a valid passport.

As I recall,
when we met you had an abundance of passports.

Yes, yes, I know.
But now that I'm trotting the straight-and-narrow,

I wouldn't feel right
using one of those.

All right. You stay here
and fend off the I.R.S....

Until I can think
of a plausible reason why you didn't file a tax return.

Laura, Laura, please,
just wait-- Mr. Steele?

Digging, digging, digging,
digging, digging.

Is there some reason
you can't produce a copy of your tax return?

Huh? Uh--

[ sighs ]

I have a confession
to make, miss krebs.

I didn't file a tax return
for that particular year.

Why not?
Well, because-- because--

please, sit there.
Because, uh--

because I didn't earn
any income. It's all here in the corporate return.

Remington Steele
was not paid a salary.

Be that as it may,
Mr. Steele. But you were paid in kind.

Paid in what kind?

The agency wrote off a car,
a chauffeur, an apartment.

The only valid reason
not to declare those items as income...

Would be if you devoted
100% of your time in business.

Of course I did!
I mean, I sleep, breathe, dream private investigating.

I'll be around
at 9:30 tomorrow morning to inspect your domicile.

And if it contains
one single, solitary item of a personal nature,

my past experience
will come in handy.

What past experience was that?

Six years with the fraud squad.

Well, hi.
Can I help you?

I hope so.
My name's Laura holt.

I'm a private investigator
from Los Angeles, and I'm attempting to locate this man.

His Uncle in Los Angeles
passed away recently...

And left him
a small inheritance.

Unfortunately, there's
no current address for him.

I did, however, manage to learn
that he may have been at this hotel...

A few days ago,
perhaps as a guest.

[ Laughing ]
That's no guest. That's Pedro.

You know him?
Yes, I do.

He's a bellman here.
Pedro Campos.

That's the correct name,
all right.

Yeah, but I'm afraid
he hasn't come to work for the past, uh, three days.

Oh, my.
What a shame. Yeah.

Well, perhaps
you could give me his current address.

I do so
want to tell senor Campos of his good fortune.

I will see what I can do.

I'd also like a room.
If at all possible, I'd like, uh, 2009.

2009?
Are you alone?

Yes.
I'm quite alone.

I prefer it that way.
You know, modern woman and all.

Yeah.
Then I don't know why, uh,

you would like to have
the room 2009.

- It's a honeymoon suite.
- Oh, the honeymoon suite.

Well, no wonder
my sister recommended it.

She said it was
the most satisfying room she'd ever been in.

It's booked solid
months in advance.

Ah. Well, in that case,
I'll take any old thing you have available.

Okay.
It will be a few minutes.

Thank you.

And your name, please?
Martin ring.

I'm sorry, Mr. ring.
I can't seem to find your name here.

Uh,buenos diíías.

Um,??habla ingleéés?

Okay. Uh--

uh, p-Pedro Campos?

Uh,??casa?

Um-- uh--

mi ami-- amigo-- amigo,
Hector figueroahere,

and, um,

en Pedro casa's Campos--

um,??pedro Campos's casa?

Gracias.

I knew I shouldn't have
taken French.

[ Screams ]

Whoa!
Whoa, little lady.

Slow down.
That's a good way to have yourself an accident.

You're a little, uh,
off the beaten track here, ain't ya?

Yeah, I got separated
from my group.

[ Man ]
Oh!

Listen, maybe I should
see you to your hotel.

I'd really appreciate that,
Mr., uh, ring.

Marty.

Marty. Laura.
Laura holt. Laura.

Where you--
where you stayin', Laura? Um, the princess.

The princess?
Is that a coincidence? That's where we're put up too!

Oh.
Yeah!

I'm with
the insurance convention.

It's a little reward
they cooked up for writin' a lot of policies.

I'll say one thing though.
I always say it.

You can't have
too much insurance.

You never know
when you're gonna run into a cryin' need for it.

Oh!
[ Laughing ]

[ Ringing ]

Steele here.
Uh, yes, operator.

Who's calling?
Yes, I'll accept the charges.

Hector?
This is remington Steele, miss holt's associate.

Where are you?

I've been calling
her place all day.

Do you know if
somebody named Pedro Campos came to see her?

If it's the fellow
with the fish, I'm afraid he did.

Do you know where
I can reach him?

You're gonna need
an awfully long cord. He's dead.

[ Spanish ]

Look, where-where are you?

Please tell miss holt
I'm sorry.

I-I didn't mean it
to turn out this way.

Well, she's in acapulco
looking for you.

Oh, man,
she shouldn't be down here!

She finds me,
they'll kill her too.

Who'll kill her?
I mean, what are you talking-- Hector? Hector?

[ Keys punching ]

Yes, what time's the
next flight to acapulco?

Uh, okay, book me on it,
please, will you?

O'Leary.
Michael O'Leary.

Apparently,
your friend was here.

Yes. But where is he now?
And in what condition?

Leave his picture with me.
Perhaps someone will remember seeing him.

Yes.
What can I do?

Go back to your hotel
and wait for my call.

I feel so helpless.

At the moment,
you are.

Thank you.
Please.

Oh! Miss krebs! You're early.
Thought I'd get a jump on the day.

Yesterday was such a waste.
Going somewhere?

Uh, Toledo.
My Uncle Randolph suddenly took very ill.

And, naturally,
you were gonna tell me about this unexpected trip.

Well, it came
as such a shock,

and your impending arrival
completely slipped my mind.

But, uh, please feel free
to conduct your inspection.

Just close the door
when you leave. Bye!

Supervisor mellish, please.

Fifty thousand.

Ninety thousand.

Seventy-five thousand.

Two hundred thousand.

Frederick luns, Paul Dominick,
my associate from Chicago.

Mr. Dominick will see
that your diamonds reach the United States.

- When?
- They'll be going out this afternoon.

How?

The less you know
in that aspect, the better it is for all concerned.

On arriving safely
in the states, Mr. Dominick will reclaim them.

You should hear from him
a day or two after that.

And then you can dispose of them
anyway you see fit.

I think I shall convert them
into Swiss money.

I have more confidence
in my own currency.

Whatever suits you.

Always a pleasure, Alex.

Mr. Dominick,
I will wait for your call.

Yeah, right.

What do you mean,
they go out today?

Have to keep
the customers satisfied, Paul.

These aren't postcards we're
sending across the border.

No, but they have to be
just as innocent.

Unless you've managed
to create another problem.

Some broad's sniffing around
Campos's place.

My people tried to grab her,
but she slipped out from under.

She came back later
with a local cop.

Who isshe?

I don't know.
But until I find out, I don't want to move anything.

Paul, you may be an expert
in your own particular field,

but, believe me,
I know the kind of people we're dealing with.

They're frightened,

in the only way
that the very wealthy know how to be frightened.

Their country devalues
their currency,

freezes foreign assets.

They panic.
They scurry around...

Looking for the surest,
safest way to get their money out.

One hint that our organization's
in trouble,

and we won't be able to give
those pieces of carbon away.

All right, all right.

As soon as we track her down,
I'll just take her out of the picture, that's all.

That's your answer
for everything, isn't it?

You killed Campos.
Where did that get us? More complications.

Wait a second.
He took our merchandise. He stole from us!

You should've
let him have them.

They're pebbles compared
to what we're sitting on.

Have you replaced him?
Did you at least manage to do that?

Don't worry.
This one, I'll handle myself.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Yes? Oh, uh, uh, uh,
the bag is in the bedroom.

Thanks.

Think we have time for lunch?
Oh, sure.

The plane doesn't leave
till 3:00, and it's only--

oh. I left my watch
in the room.

I'll get it.
No, no, no. You grab us a table.

[ Door opening ]

[ Knocking ]

Peggy?

Peg?
Hon, are you in there?

Don't tell me
she locked you out? No.

Is something wrong?
Yeah, I-I can't seem to find my wife.

We were gonna go down
to get a bite to eat, and...

She came back here
to get her watch.

But it was an hour ago.

I waited in the restaurant.
I called the room. I had her paged.

Don't you have a key?
No, she has it.

Oh!

What's this?

Why would Peggy
leave the key out here?

- Something's going on here.
- Maybe she got sidetracked.

Maybe she's downstairs right now
looking for you.

No, uh-uh.
She'd never leave this.

This was my
engagement present to her.

Maybe we should call the police.

I have a friend-- captain rios.
I'm sure he'll be able to help.

She wouldn't just take off.
I mean, this is our honeymoon.

We didn't wanna leave,
but we couldn't wait to get back to Fresno...

To start our life together--
Mr. and Mrs. George plummer.

George, I've had some experience
in these things,

and often what appears
to be strange and contradictory has a very logical explanation.

Is there someone special
in your life, miss holt?

That's hard to pin down.

He's special to me.
I-I don't know how special I am to him.

Well, Peggy's
the most special person I ever knew.

We've been together
since the 10th grade,

and she would never,
ever, just get up and leave without telling me.

[ Man on p.A. ]
Laura holt, please come to a house telephone.

Senorita Laura holt.
Excuse me.

Hello?
[ Steele ] Really, Laura. You cut me to the quick.

The minute my back's turned,
there you are...

Sharing a Tequila sunrise
with another man.

How did--

I thought this climate
was a little too hot for you.

Actually, I'm fleeing
the tax collector. Ah.

Acapulco seemed
as good a place as any to begin life as a fugitive.

Mm-hmm.

Have you located Hector?
No.

Good.
Apparently, he is in danger,

and whoever's after him
won't hesitate to kill anyone whom he's with.

- How do you know?
- He phoned me up last night.

- Incidentally,
the dead man's name is-- - Pedro Campos.

Oh. You've discovered that,
have you?

It hasn't all
been Tequila sunrises.

Oh.
You know, you could've told me this over the telephone.

You didn't come
all the way down here because...

You thought I might be in
some kind of danger, did you?

Of course not. I'd never
insult your intelligence or your professionalism...

By trying to stop you
from getting killed.

I've simply decided to take
a much more active interest in the business, you know.

What with Murphy and bernice
no longer with us, someone has to fill the void.

And I assure you, Laura,
I've made that commitment.

Whatever the problem,
whatever the circumstances, you can count on me.

I'll always be there for you.
Uh, excuse me, please.

Senorita holt, that man
you were just talking to--

what about him?
Do you know him?

Actually, no.
I was just giving him directions to the dining room.

Why?
Well, he looks familiar. Disturbingly familiar.

He has that kind of face.

Average, ordinary,
common as a cold.

- I heard
someone else disappeared. - Yes.

I hope this is not
the beginning of an epidemic.

Would you stop saying maybe
she just wandered into town? She didn't.

I've known her since she was 14,
and she'd never do anything that flaky.

I'll need a description
of senora plummer. Okay, fine.

Psst! Psst!
Psst!

- What are you doing
hiding behind a newspaper? - Hiding.

Just how dangerous is it
for you to be down here?

Not dangerous at all,
providing I can keep one step ahead of the local gendarmerie.

Why isel capitaaan
lurking about?

Whatever's going on is going on
in the honeymoon suite.

A young woman disappeared
from there this morning.

Well, then,
let's find out what's going on.

Booked solid
months in advance.

Then perhaps we should find out
who the next occupant is, eh?

[ Woman over p.A. ]
Flight 48 from Los Angeles now arriving at gate 4.

Our name's bloustein.
Welcome to acapulco, Mr. and Mrs. bloustein.

Your car is here.
Car?

- To take you to the hotel.
- The travel agent didn't say anything about a car.

All part
of our fabulous fiesta honeymoon service.

Boy, this is gonna be
some honeymoon.

I'm sure you'll remember it
for the rest of your lives.

Buenos diíías.
Buenos diíías.

Michael O'Leary.
I phoned you a while ago.

Oh, yes, senor O'Leary.
You are in luck.

We just received a cancellation
not 15 minutes ago.

That is a stroke
of good fortune. Thank you.

Very unexpected too.
They had the suite reserved since, uh, February.

Really? Well,
the course of marriage never does run smoothly, does it?

- Even on honeymoon.
- Uh, where's your wife, sir?

Oh, uh, she's taking care
of a couple of minor inconveniences.

She'll be along shortly.

[ Mildred ]
Hold it right there, Buster!

Ah, cupcake!

Ow! You're hurting me!
And you love it, don't you?

Mint!
Absolute mint! Ow!

Try to control yourself
till we get to the bedroom, mypoco tiesto.

I warn you!
I warn you!

You are adding
kidnapping and assault...

To a list of already
penitentiary proportions.

Please, miss krebs,
give me a chance to explain. Explain? Explain what?

Failure to file a tax return.
I am here on a very complex case.

Flight to avoid prosecution.

It began when a dead man
delivered a fish to miss holt.

Traveling under
a fraudulent passport.

Only the fish contained
diamonds, and the dead man wasn't whom he said he was.

I'm gonna have
to call my supervisor, get further instructions.

And now there's a deadly killer
stalking the real dead man.

Maybe I can have you arrested
before we extradite you.

Miss krebs, I beg of you.
Don't touch the phone.

Operator?
Policiíía, por favor. Miss krebs?

Yes?
Forgive me.

[ Knocking ]
[ Doorbell ringing ]

Uh, who is it?

[ Laura ]
The bride of frankenstein.

Oh, Laura, I've been going crazy
waiting for you.

Aren't you going to carry me
over the threshold?

There's something in the bedroom
that demands our immediate attention.

In that case, home, James!
[ Moans ]

While I'm normally delighted
by unexpected displays of affection--

you're always telling me
not to plan things--

to be spontaneous,
to live for the moment.

Yes. But I don't think
this is the moment.

What is she doing here?

She thinks I'm a tax evader
because I didn't file a tax return.

And now, the entire hotel staff
thinks that she's my wife!

Well, this certainly
complicates things. Oh!

You have a definite flair
for the understatement, Laura.

This certainly isn't
the honeymoon I anticipated.

Well, we'd better figure out
what to do with her.

Oh.

How are your prisons
in the states?

I hear some of them
actually have cells with tellys,

stereos, shag carpeting,
et cetera.

Don't worry.
We'll get out of this.

I'm fascinated by the way
you use the word "we."

Come on.

Okay.
All we have to do is make sure no one gets in this room.

All right.
I'll meet you downstairs.

Okay?
Mm-hmm.

Filthy. I'll send
someone up immediately.

Buenos diíías.
Bye.

Gin!

Captain rios just called.
He may have found Hector.

The police just arrested
someone answering his description.

He has no papers.
He refuses to give his name.

- Why was he arrested?
- He mooned a group of nuns in the town square.

- Good lord!
- That's what they said.

Well, no sense
duplicating tasks.

Why don't you trundle on down
to the local lockup? I'll stay around,

see if there's any
suspicious characters lurking about the hotel.

- You mean aside from yourself?
-Vaya con dios.

And I'm telling you that
I did not cancel my reservation!

Miss holt?

[ Whistles ]

-??Habla ingleéés?
- Like a native.

Then do the words
"follow that car" have any significance?

Hey, man, we get the
starsky and hutchdown here!

[ Tires screeching ]

We call him
"the man with no shame."

Hector!
Miss holt?

Can I speak with him, captain?

A gentle stroll, senorita.
No sudden movements that might make the guards anxious.

[ Spanish ]
Thank you.

Did you really moon
a group of nuns?

I needed
some fast attention.

I figured the safest place
for me was in here.

Miss holt, I'm really sorry.
I never meant to get you involved in this.

Help me get us out, Hector.

Pedro was hooked
in a smuggling scam.

He would hide the stuff
inside some tourist's luggage,

and then the tourist
would take it across the border.

Then I guess someone would do a
fast break-in on the other side and get the stuff back.

Only he got tired of being
the middleman and decided to keep some for himself.

Well, he borrowed my papers...
For a thousand bucks.

How did he wind up
on my doorstep?

My old lady was always talking
about how nice you were--

how you were always willing
to help someone in trouble.

Pedro didn't speak any English.
He hadn't even been to the states before.

So I drew him a map and
told him if he needed help to go see you.

Thanks for the testimonial.

[ Sighs ]
I thought he'd make it through.

Only these two guys
came to his place and started banging me around.

I had to tell them what
the deal was with my papers. And then, I just ran like hell.

All right, Hector.
Let's see if we can get you out of here.

Wait! No!
I'm not goin' back out on the street.

I wouldn't even make it
to the airport.

Why would anyone
be after you now?

They think I know
who Pedro was working for. Do you?

No! He wouldn't tell me!

All he said was
the less I knew, the better off I was.

He didn't say a name,
a place, a destination?

No. Just pepe's.

Pepe's?
A disco on thecostero.

That's where he'd pick up
the stash. But he didn't say from whom?

Miss holt, believe me,
this is no time to keep secrets.

Well, I guess you'd better
hang around here a bit longer.

But if pepe's
doesn't lead us anywhere, you're going straight to mama.

Just as long
as it ain't in a box.

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Casual. Nonchalant.

Two old friends who happened
to bump into one another.

Aren't you a little
uncomfortable being so close to your natural habitat?

The gentleman in the seersucker
over my right shoulder.

[ Laura ]
That's Marty. Marty ring. You know him?

He's an insurance salesman.
He's here on a convention. Hmm.

Then perhaps
he followed you down here to sell you a policy.

He followed me?
Mmm.

Let's see if he's interested
in old Spanish architecture...

Or something a bit younger
and more American, hmm?

Buenos diíías.
Buenos diíías. Yeah, yeah.

He's still with us.
Hmm.

Determined little bugger,
isn't he? Shall we?

Certainly not a place
to wear white shoes, is it?

Or a white suit.
Or a white-- yes.

This way.

Nice... bulls.

Adioóós.
[ Gasps ]

[ Clattering ]

[ Thudding ]

Aah!

I hope you've taken
your own advice and written yourself a lot of coverage.

You never know when
you're going to run into a crying need for insurance.

Ah, ah, ah.
I wouldn't dash about if I were you.

It's a myth about bulls
being enraged by red.

However, they don't react
too well to sudden movement.

Read it and weep, kiddo.

"Jack merkle. Inspector,
United States customs"?

- Why were you following
miss holt? - She's a suspect.

In what?

250 million dollars'
worth of diamonds were lifted from three European banks.

I missed that in the press.
Buried in the back pages, no doubt.

It was kept quiet.
The prospect of that many diamonds...

Being dumped on the open market
gave everybody terminal anxiety.

Now they're starting
to trickle into the states,

and I think the guy
who bled to death all over your rug brought in a shipment.

Are you accusing me
of being on the receiving end?

[ Chuckles ]
He came to your house, lady. You wanna explain why?

This is some interrogation.
He's asking more questions than we are.

We found seaman's papers
on the guy in the name of one Hector figueroa,

but the prints don't match.

Come on. Be smart.

You scratch me,
I'll scratch you.

Let's start with
the real Hector figueroa. Where can I lay my hands on him?

- Why?
- Nothing hostile. Simple questions, that's all.

Like, "how come your papers
wound up on a dead man?"

Right now, you're
minimum withholding evidence,

maybe smuggling, and possibly
accessory to murder.

It's always nice dealing
with the government, inspector.

[ Snorting ]

- Get me outta here!
-I!!toro!

I!!toro! I!!toro!

- I!!toro!
-Hey, hey! Hey, hey! [ Whistling ]

Hey, hey!
I!!toro! I!!toro !

[ Whistles ]
Hey,I!!toro!

Whose idea was this anyway?
Yours, I believe.

Think about it, troops.

You wanna find me,
just look over your shoulder.

You were
a trifle uncooperative back there, eh?

I'm not ready
to give Hector up until we get him back to Los Angeles.

I don't think
that's gonna sit too well with Mr. merkle.

Well, at last we have
something truly in common.

Oh?
We're both running.

You from customs,
me from the I.R.S.

Don't forget the police.

Ah. Sun-drenched days
and glamorous nights, eh?

When the fish
actually contained diamonds...

And with Hector
running for his life,

not to mention
a poor honeymooner literally kidnapped from this suite--

this very room--
[ Grunting ]

Then you can see that Mr. Steele
is definitely down here on a legitimate case...

And not on some
desperate flight from justice.

And if you were honest,
Mildred-- oh. May I call you Mildred?

- [ Mumbles ]
- Thank you.

If you were honest
with yourself, Mildred,

you'd have to admit that
you were a bit overzealous,

that perhaps you transcended
your authority...

By pursuing Mr. Steele
to acapulco.

[ Indistinct ]

Now, I'm going
to remove this gag...

In a spirit of
friendship and cooperation.

Good luck.

Ah!
Oh!

My tongue fell asleep.
Oh!

I have to compliment you
on tracking down Mr. Steele the way you did.

Wouldn't you agree, sir?
Oh, yes.

First-rate piece of detection.
Top-notch. Gung ho, yes.

You know, Mildred,
I think you have just the kind of investigative talent...

And personal initiative
required in our organization.

- You wouldn't be offering me
a job, would you? - Well--

because until your tax situation
is cleared up, that could be construed as bribery.

-Never crossed my mind.
-Wouldn't have you on a platter.

You know, just as soon
as this case is brought to a successful conclusion,

I promise that Mr. Steele's
failure to file a tax return will all become clear.

-Agonizingly clear.
-I'd like to call my supervisor.

By all means, Mildred.
Come. We trust you.

You left your trowel
in the bedroom. We have to gain her confidence.

We can't very well
keep her bound and gagged for the rest of our time down here.

Why not?
I find it rather reassuring. All right, let's recap.

We know Pedro
was smuggling diamonds into the states...

By hiding them
in tourists' luggage,

and we know where
he picked up the diamonds.

- We do?
- At a disco called pepe's.

First thing in the morning,
we have a look. You know, Laura,

in crimes of this magnitude,
it's usually standard to offer a finder's fee--

usually at 10% of the value--
and 10% of $250 million is--

$25 million.

Do you realize
we could be given $25 million...

As a reward
for being honest?

That really astounds you,
doesn't it?

It heartens me, Laura.
It absolutely heartens me. [ Door opens ]

If I'm not in the office
in an hour, I'm going on suspension!

Oh!
Ooh!

Dear! Oh!
[ Clicking tongue ]

Ah. My, my, my,
you look beautiful.

Come here. Mmm!
You don't look so bad yourself.

Thank you.
Please, sit.

[ Sighs ]
Bottoms up.

A Tequila sunrise.
How thoughtful of you.

Actually, it's, um,
compliments of--

he wasn't kidding
about just looking over our shoulders for him.

It doesn't give us
much maneuvering room.

I thought Mildred
was going to join us.

Um, I sent her into town
to buy some clothes.

How generous of you.
Well, it's the least I could do.

I mean, the poor woman
only brought a satchel full of tax returns.

You know, I have a feeling
that we're getting down to the wire on this thing.

Well, shouldn't you sound
more pleased?

Frankly, I'm nervous.

Well, don't be.
I mean, we can handle merkle.

It's not merkle
that concerns me. It's you.

I don't wanna turn around
and find you're not there when I need you.

[ Sighs ]
Afraid I'll run out on you to save my own neck, eh?

It happened in the lobby
when you saw captain rios.

You really think
I'd leave you in the lurch? Or are you just curious?

- Part of my mysterious past.
- Well, sure I'm curious.

You announce you're going
to take a more active interest in the agency,

and I wonder how many
other places we can't go...

Because some other captain rios
is looking for you.

I wonder when somebody's
gonna show up on the agency's doorstep looking for you...

To solve an old case
or settle an old grievance.

You're damn right I'm curious!

You wanna know what happened
in Mexico city?

There was something called
the marchesa collection.

Five pieces set with emeralds,
rubies, sapphires.

Given as a tribute
to one of the borgias in the 15th century.

Somewhere along the way,
it got broken up, scattered.

Buenas noches.
Buenas noches.

Is there a song you would like
us to play for you this evening?

I can't really think of one.
Uh,gracias.

Then we hope
you will enjoy this one.

dddd [ Singing in Spanish ]

I!!bello! I!!bello! I!!bello!
I!!bello! I!!bello! I!!bello!

Thank you.
Yeah.Gracias.

Apart, they were worth
a great deal. Together, they were priceless.

Over the years,
a Belgian collector managed to acquire four of them.

The fifth eluded him
until it was discovered in Mexico city.

Buenas noches.
Buenas noches.

May we play your
favorite song for you?

I don't really have
a favorite song,gracias.

- Then permit us.
-dddd [ Guitar ]

dddd [ Singing same song ]
I!!exquisito! I!!exquisito! I!!exquisito!

[ Whistles ]
Exquisito. Exquisito.

They're coming over here because
you're such a good tipper. Mm-hmm. Where was I?

The fifth piece was
discovered in Mexico city.

A price was agreed upon.

But before they could
change hands, it was stolen...

For a very wealthy,
very powerful businessman.

Buenas noches.
Buenas noches.

Is there something
we play for you this evening?

- Yes.
"The ride of the valkyries." - Of course.

dddd [ Guitar ]

dddd [ Singing same song ]

- I stole it.
- What?

I said, I stole
the bloody thing back!

So, what do you think?
Do I pass inspection?

You look wonderful, Mildred!
Oh, yes, smashing.

Well, when do we eat?
'Cause every time I go shopping, I get hungry.

Mildred's stationed
in the lobby.

Mm-hmm.

Look what I found.
Where?

George's luggage.

They were in
the hanger rolls.

Peggy must have walked in
on whoever was hiding them. Mm-hmm.

Which means he might come back
to reclaim them. Huh.

May I ask you a question?

No, I don't think
what you did was illegal. Expedient--

how long do I have to keep on
proving myself to you?

I mean, why is it
so important what I was?

We've been together for
what could be called a season. Doesn't that count?

Seasons come and go.
And when they're over,

sometimes you can
hardly remember them.

Damn it, Laura!
I care for you.

Don't!
Why not?

You confuse me!
It confuses me!

It's what frightens me
the most about having more than a working relationship with you!

Every time we're not on a case,
not tending strictly to business,

the same old confusion
sets in.

You think it's
any different for me?

I've never spent this much time
in one place in my entire life!

And it's not only because
I enjoy playing detective.

I mean, sometimes--
sometimes I look at myself and I say,

"what's happened to you,
old sport?

I mean, you've become
positively domesticated."

That's not what I mean!
I'm terrified of losing myself in you--

of being swallowed up by you
until there's no me anymore!

But you're the one
who jumped into my arms.

"Home, James," you said,
pointing to this very bedroom!

I rehearsed that
all the way up in the elevator.

I decided I wasn't
gonna be afraid anymore. And?

It scared the hell
out of me! [ Chuckles ]

Don't laugh.
I saw what happened to my mother.

She was completely,
totally consumed by my father.

Nothing moved in our house
unless it revolved totally around him.

When he left her,
her life just stopped.

No joy, no sorrow,
nothing, not even anger.

It was as if he'd taken
every bit of feeling she had with him.

Laura, you're not your mother.

No. But part of me
could be very easily.

That's the part
I have to guard against.

You want guarantees.
And you can't give them.

It seems we have
an awfully long way to go.

Wouldn't it be nice if--
if we could get there together?

[ Door opens ]

Looking for something,
amigo?

[ Yelling ]

We'll never beat him down
20 flights of stairs.

All right. Let's call Mildred.
Maybe she can get a look at his transportation.

You know, Mildred isn't
half bad as an investigator.

She not only managed
to get the license number,

she found out the car
was rented to a one Paul Dominick from Chicago.

Perhaps I should reconsider
divorcing her.

Uh, shall we, um--
yeah.

[ Steele ]
Mm-hmm. A touch of India.

It's closed!

Yes.
More like abandoned.

Oh, what a shame.

You'd never know
by looking at it now, but at one point...

It was the most
popular spot in acapulco.

People came
from all over the world...

Just to spend a night
at pepe's.

Every night
was new year's Eve.

The ceiling would open up,
and balloons would come down at midnight.

- They had this huge piano bar--
- is that where you tripped the light fantastic?

Never mind.

As I remember, you did
a fan dance on a bar...

For your boyfriend
and his banker buddies.

Let's just drop the subject,
all right?

It was a long time ago.
Another era, another person.

Well, unlike you,
what you did in your past doesn't trouble me.

Ooh!

Was that meant
to prove it?

The car that accosted you
outside of Pedro's-- what color was it?

Um-- uh, a maroon Chevy,
I think.

Well, perhaps they switched.
The one that's following us is a gray one.

You know, I suddenly have
an uncontrollable urge to take a romantic stroll on the beach.

Oh, you smooth talker,
you.

Well, pepe's certainly
seems an ideal place to keep a cache of diamonds.

Or an American honeymooner.
Yes.

If Peggy's in there,
we can't do anything precipitous.

That could prove fatal.
Unless they've already disposed of her.

Oh, please, don't even
entertain that thought.

Why don't we find out
who owns the place now? See if we can figure a way in?

Notorious.

Well, it's true.
Pepe's did have a bit of a reputation in those days.

Cary grant, Ingrid bergman,
rko, 1946.

I must have missed
that one. Wonderful.

Ingrid infiltrates
a group of Nazis, headed by Claude rains,

to discover what
they're up to.

It all begins at a wild party.
Cary, of course, is there--

you still haven't told me
what happened to Ingrid bergman...

After Claude rains discovered
she was a government agent.

Ah, nothing, really.
Oh, come on.

If I'm gonna play
the bergman part, I'd like to know.

He poisoned her.
A little cyanide in the soup. Swell.

It was only a movie.
But Cary rescued her in the Nick of time.

[ Man on p.A. ]
Richard Blaine, please come to a house telephone.

Senor Richard Blaine.
What is it?

I hope someone else
is a movie buff.

Richard Blaine, please come
to a house telephone. Richard Blaine.

Why is that name
so familiar?

It's, uh--
it's the name of the character bogart played incasablanca.

And one of your passport names?
The one you used when you were in Mexico city?

Laura, I have another
sudden overwhelming urge to run!

- Uh--
- Mr. Blaine.

Ah, yes.
Congratulations on your promotion, captain.

Oh, thank you, thank you.
Mr. Blaine and I...

Are old acquaintances
from Mexico city.

What brings you
to acapulco, captain?

Oh, I came for the water.
I find it very relaxing.

Mexico city
was much too hectic. Mm-hmm.

Captain, I know that Mr. Blaine
is wanted in connection to a certain unfortunate incident,

and I'm positive that
he can explain everything to your satisfaction.

However, we're right in
the middle of a case,

and if we don't act quickly,
a woman may lose her life.

So if you would be
kind enough--

you're most persuasive,
senorita holt.

Unfortunately,
my hands are tied.

So I'm afraid that Mr. Blaine
must be returned to Mexico city, hmm?

Shall we?
Oh, yes, of course.

Go.
[ Spanish ]

I am very disappointed
in you, senorita.

Ah! Uh, pina colada,
por favor.

Ah.Muchas gracias.
Excuse me.

Refreshing, eh?
Yes.

dddd [ Disco ]

Mr. Steele?

Mr. Steele,
it's me, Mildred.

Mildred krebs.
Ah, miss krebs! There you are.

You're an angel of mercy.
Ah. Good. How are you holding up?

Fine. I'm just fine.
Good. Good.

Did captain rios
question you about our relationship?

Relentlessly.
Now I know what it's like to be on the other end of an audit.

Mm-hmm.
This has been the most incredible time of my life.

Really?
I mean, who would have thought that just a few short days ago,

I would be in a men's room
in acapulco...

Watching a man
take off his pants.

[ Gasps ]
Oh, my goodness!

Not even Bernie cornfeld's audit
was this fraught.

dddd [ Continues ]

What's he doing here?
He helped me locate Paul Dominick.

Right there-- the one
in the ice-cream suit.

Dominick's a high-line fence
from Chicago.

Boy, I love
all this technical talk.

[ Merkle ]
I talked with the organized crime boys.

He was in San Diego when
Hector's tuna boat docked.

Then he hopped
a plane down here.

Dollars to doughnuts,
he's the contact in the states.

If he's here, then he must know
where the diamonds are and quite possibly Peggy.

If you can help me
nail Dominick,

I'll forget everything about
Hector's being involved in this thing.

Um, no offense,
but don't you think...

This Dominick character is
a little out of your league?

I can handle myself.

Besides, while you're
keeping an eye on pepe's,

the inspector
will keep an eye on me.

Your faithful
little shadow. Now, you're clear on your part?

I can handle myself.

Well, showtime.

I'll be outside.

Stay close.
I don't want anything unforeseen to happen to miss holt.

Just do your
little dance, junior. I'll take care of the security.

Come back to the table.
Come on. Let go of me!

I'm not through with you yet!
Hey, watch it!

You're not only through!
You're finished! Gorgeous, isn't he?

$500 jacket, $5,000 rolex--
not to mention all the other baubles I bought you!

You got your money's worth,
didn't ya?

Not enough to pay
for you and your wife!

He's married toher?

And don't kid yourself.
You weren't all that good.

I just kept you around
because I like having something pretty to wear on my arm.

You lousy, little tramp!

Hey, whoa, whoa!
Come on! Enough of that! Come on! Take a walk!

[ Shouting, indistinct ]
Oh!

Oh! Oh, honey!

Oh, my poor baby.
Sweetheart, are you all right?

Say something.
Speak to me. Oh, my poor baby.

Are you hurt? Oh!
You animal!

Don't overdo it, Mildred.
I'm sorry.

I suppose you want a reward
for being my big, strong protector.

Were you really
keeping that guy?

It's a lot more fun
than collecting stamps.

Why don't you show me
what you've got,

and then I'll decide
what you get.

Mm-hmm!

She's certainly thrown herself
into the part.

[ Mildred chuckling ]

Oh, she's hot, all right.
[ Steele ] Yeah, I don't get it.

First, she plays gypsy rose Lee
for a former boyfriend.

Now she's playing
miss sadie Thompson for a cheap crook.

But for me, it's
Rebecca of sunnybrook farm.

Well, maybe you frighten her.
Yes. That's what she says.

You don't know what it's like
for a woman to desire a man. Oh!

I mean,
to lust down to her loins,

and yet fear what that desire
might unleash in her.

Are you, uh, speaking
from personal experience?

Hell no!
My ex-husband couldn't unleash the dog.

Aw. Just remember,

it's easy
to let yourself go with someone you don't care about,

because there's
no risk involved.

At the moment,
that's hollow consolation. Thank you, Mildred.

Whose boat?

Mine.

[ Laughing ]
Uh-uh.

No?

Too many phone calls
to arrange getting us on it.

Okay.
It belongs to a friend.

Nice friend to have.
What's his name?

That's all you do--
ask questions.

Adds to my allure.

Who are you,
and what do you want?

I thought I wanted you,
but I just changed my mind.

I'm not into pain or animals,
no matter how sleek.

Okay, okay.

His name is sebastien--
Alexander sebastien. All right?

Now, that wasn't so hard,
was it?

Look what I've done.
I've taken off all my lotion.

You'll just have
to put on a fresh coat.

Uh, I'd like to rent a horse.

Ah, siíí, siíí, siíí, siíí,
senorita.

- You look good with a tan.
- I'm surprised you don't have more color yourself.

He put so much lotion on you,
I was afraid you were gonna slither off the boat.

You were watching?
It's my job to keep an eye on you.

No, no, no.
That's merkle's job.

Your job is
to keep an eye on pepe's.

Well, nothing's happening
at pepe's.

Dominick's friend with the boat
is named Alexander sebastien.

See what Mildred
can dig up on him.

And while I'm watching
and she's digging, what will you be doing?

Dancing.
I've been invited to a party at sebastien's villa.

Huh. Undercover work's
hellish, isn't it?

My, my,
aren't we testy today?

Sorry. I've been asleep
on the beach.

Those sand crabs have
a nasty little bite.

Well, if sebastien turns out
to be the one with the diamonds,

we'll be sleeping
in our own beds before you know it.

Yes, well,
just don't get too cocky.

Anyone who could engineer
a $250 million robbery...

Can also see through
a high school rendition ofthe temptress.

Might I remind you
that I have been doing this a lot longer than you have!

[ Clucking tongue ]

[ Whistles ]

I must congratulate Paul
on his exquisite taste.

Or is it just dumb luck
that he found you?

This house is magnificent.
Have you been here long?

About 10 years.
Then you must remember pepe's.

Yes, of course.

But I was hardly an habitueé
é, though I did enjoy the atmosphere occasionally.

- What happened to it?
- Like all things in this world, miss holt,

people just got bored
and went on to other diversions.

Do you know if it's been sold?
Yes.

As a matter of fact,
I bought it.

[ Dominick ]
Here we are.

You know,
if I wasn't such a secure guy, I'd be jealous as hell.

What are you trying to do,
beat my time, Alex?

If I thought
I had the chance--

have you ever been
to Chicago?

No, but I've flown
over it so many times, I feel like a native.

Come back with me.

When?
Tomorrow.

Come on.

I'll mull it.
I only ask once.

Well, then, in that case,
the answer--

oh!
What's-what's wrong?

You okay?
I don't know. I'm dizzy.

Have her lie down
in one of the bedrooms.

Yeah, sure. Come on.
Let me take you.

Sorry.
All right, take it easy. Take it easy. Come on.

All right, easy.
Okay?

I want to... go back...
Hotel.

No. No, you can't go
anywhere in this condition.

Oh. Here's a nice,
comfortable bed. [ Moans ]

I only had one...
You gave me.

Well, uh, sometimes
that's all it takes, you know.

Just-just one.

Now, you lie down,
and you try to sleep it off.

And, uh, you'll be just fine
in a couple of hours.

Okay? Huh?
Oh!

All right?

How is she?
She's, uh, sick as a dog.

First, we move the merchandise.
Then we dispose of miss holt.

My pleasure.

[ Groans ]

Cyanide in the soup.

[ Groaning ]

She's not in her room,
and the bed hasn't been slept in.

Where the devil's merkle?
He's supposed to be watching her!

I'm going to sebastien's,
and you, uh--

how about if I watch pepe's?
Good thinking.

You know, Mildred,
you really do have a flair for this sort of thing.

Oh, thanks, Mr. Steele.
Yes.

If miss holt should return,
um, chastise her.

Well?
Lots of activity. People moving in and out.

You didn't catch a glimpse
of miss holt by any chance? Uh-uh.

Well, there comes a time
in every case when action--

swift, decisive action--
is called for.

What are you gonna do,
Mr. Steele? Damned if I know.

Oh.
I'm just kidding.

A little levity
to lighten the mood.

Every master detective
always has an appropriate plan to fit any given situation.

Oh.

Ready.
Okay.

Oh! Oh!

That is the most inspired plan
I've ever heard of in my life.

I mean,
the sheer brilliance! The total daring!

The element of surprise that
is so crucial in any rescue.

Only someone like you
would think of that.

Probably because it's insane,
not to mention suicidal.

I can't believe
this is happening to me-- any of it!

I mean, it's--
it's like a dream. It's like a fantasy.

It's like
a James Bond movie.

Oh, you don't know
what a dull, drab life I've led, Mr. Steele.

It was so colorless.

I mean, adding
and subtracting figures all day long, these columns.

I guess I just have
a flair for drudgery.

Okay, Mildred.

Now, Mildred,
you're certain you've operated one of these boats before?

Well--

Mildred?

Say something, anything.
Lie if the moment calls for it.

Well, when I was a kid,
in the summer we used to have this little putt-putt.

Putt-putt?
Yeah.

A little two-horsepower
putt-putt.

My brother and I
used to putt-putt around the lake on it.

Well, it's gotta be
on the same concept.

All right, Mildred,
take it out several hundred yards,

and then head towards pepe's.

- And, for God's sake,
keep a constant speed. - You got it.

And, remember,
the instant we get to pepe's, cut the rope!

Laura? Laura?

Laura? Laura, come on.
Wake up. Wake up. [ Groaning ]

What took you so long,
Cary?

Oh. Thank you.

Peggy, come on, my dear.
Come on.

Aah!
This is beginning to hurt!

Peggy!
Upsy-Daisy.

Oh! Are you all right,
miss holt?

I'm fine, Mildred,
thank you. And you? How are you?

Honey, we were
so worried about you. Ladies, please!

Can we save the dialogue
till later?

While Mrs. plummer
appears svelte, at the moment she's dead weight.

Shall we?
Yes.

I saw nothing in there
resembling diamonds.

Well, maybe that's what
all the activity was about.

They're taking them
somewhere else.

Dominick did mention something
about going to Chicago today.

That's about the last thing
I remember.

He certainly isn't gonna
take off with 250 million dollars' worth of diamonds...

In an overnight bag,
is he?

Sebastien's boat!

Oh! Give me the shoes.
Call captain rios!

Right.
Oh, wait!

I've never seen you so possessed
with a sense of justice before. [ Engine stalling ]

Laura, they're taking off
with my finder's fee!

[ Engine starts ]

[ No audible dialogue ]

Ah! Unarmed.
Now all we need is Dominick.

Yes, and whoever else
may happen to be down there.

We'd be wonderful targets
if we just barged in.

Did you ever happen
to seekey largo?

Humphrey bogart, Lauren bacall,
Warner bros., 1948? Please.

The last movie
almost cost me my life. I only meant--

no!
Well, bogart was in much the same situation.

Trapped in a boat
with a group of killers down below.

He used a rather interesting way
of luring them out. All right. Let's hear it.

Made them seasick. Finally,
they had to come up for air.

He was waiting
to pop them off. Eh?

I like that a lot better
thannotorious. Good.

Excuse me.
Oh, jolly, I like it.

Hey, sebastien,
what are you doin'?

Drop it.
Drop it.

[ Weapon clatters ]

One word, and parts of you
will wind up in Hawaii.

All right?
Huh?

Where's the real
inspector merkle?

Oh, him. He's up
in the hills somewhere, um,

sitting in a lime pit.

[ Chuckles ]
Tell him it's all clear.

I got Dominick!
There's no one else up here!

Uh-huh. Now,
tell him to set it on course and come up here.

Set it on course
and come up here, and don't forget Ingrid!

What?
Who's Ingrid?

The one we call Mildred.
Her real name is Ingrid.

You're some group,
you know that? Everybody's a phony.

We can't hold
a candle to you.

That's awfully clever,
having us infiltrate the people who worked for you.

Well, once you tied Dominick
with the diamonds,

I wanted to keep you close
so you wouldn't go to thepoliciíía.

Not that it matters anymore,
but where exactly is this treasure trove of diamonds?

The extra fuel tanks.

We're just gonna whip on over
to puerto vallarta...

And set up shop.

[ Clears throat ]
You know, you're really getting very good at the movie game.

I mean,
Ingrid was an excellent clue that you were in trouble.

I'm beginning to think
it's the only way I'm going to survive with you.

So merkle was
part of it too, eh?

No, that's not merkle.
He just assumed his identity. Oh.

What a cheap,
shoddy thing to do-- assume someone else's identity.

[ Horn honking ]

You know, I think you should be
the one to turn over the diamonds to captain rios.

Well, what do you mean,
return the diamonds?

It'll go a long way
in convincing him of your honesty.

Laura, there's a finder's fee
involved here.

Especially when
you explain to him...

Why you stole
that piece of jewelry. Twenty-five--

you were only getting it back
to its rightful owner-- m-million--

even though your methods
were a little unlawful. Dollars!

How many years
do you think you'd get...

If somebody like the captain
isn't sympathetic and understanding?

[ No audible dialogue ]

You know, sometimes
I find the straight and narrow very confining.

Very confining.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.
Official business.

Internal revenue.
Thank you very much. Good-bye. Okay.

I've figured out how
to get you off the hook for that nonexistent tax return.

Oh, good.
Yeah. You file an amended return.

You pay the tax.
You're gonna eat the penalties and the interest.

But you're all square
with Uncle Sam.

That's wonderful, Mildred.

- It's my last official act
with the I.R.S. - What do you mean?

I got discharged
for dereliction of duty. I stayed too long in Mexico.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, Mildred.
And it was basically our fault.

You remember that job
you offered me?

I know you did it
so I'd go easy on you.

No, no, no, no, no.
You were very helpful with the case.

I'm not very good
at begging.

I could grovel a little.

I think it would be wonderful
for all concerned. What do you think?

Hmm? I think it's outrageous.
I wouldn't pay this if I were you.

I'm not going to,
Mr. Steele.
