Original subtitles

I've to go running to get more programs, I'll be right back.

Dennis?

Dennis, is that you?

Dennis

What are you trying to do? Stop that!

Stop that, Do you want both of us to get fired?

Excuse me, there's an important call for the Baroness.

She'll have you booked until the day you die.

That woman is on every board known to man.

Have you ever in your life tasted such a dull champagne?

The alarm went off! Something must have been stolen, Caroline.

It's probably a mistake.

The antique's section goes off if you sneeze.

This used to happen when I was on the board of directors from years ago

Caroline, you're not fun at all.

It will be in all the morning papers. Don't you want to see that?

All I want is a hot bath and a cup of tea

I've broken my heel.

Let me help you. No, let's go. Never mind.

But your shoe? Never mind.

Oh it's late darling, I'll let you get some rest.

No, please don't go I'll make some tea

I'll make it.

You must be hungry.

How do you like your eggs?

Eggs?

All right, confess! You and Alan have a quarrel?

Is that why he didn't come tonight?

I feel responsible after all, I did introduce the two of you.

Oh please Solange.

Lovers always quarrel right before the wedding.

Calm your nerves, I should know I've been married enough times.

We didn't quarrel, there's nothing like that.

Something's bothering you, you've been upset all night.

You're not feeling guilty.

Caroline, my brother's been dead for over a year,

Stefan always wanted you to remarry.

He even said to me

Shall I answer?

Baroness!

Yes I have them.

Let me speak to Alan, let me speak to him.

The market square, bring the eggs. You have 20 minutes.

Market square? Why are you changing the plans?

How will I recognize you?

I'll recognize you Baroness, 20 minutes.

Wait uh.

What's going on?

Has something happened to Alan? Is he hurt?

Don't ask any questions, I've got to go.

Where are you going? Market square.

At this hour? You'll get mugged. I'm going with you.

No, you can't.

Then I'm calling the police.

If you do that they'll kill Alan.

Kill Alan? What are you talking about?

Caroline, wait!

Don't turn around.

I said don't turn around

I'll take those eggs if you don't mind

I want to see Allan first.

This isn't a game show Baroness

I don't have them, they're in a locker at the airport

I'll give you the keys as soon as I know Alan's safe.

Are you telling me the truth? Yes, where is he?

I said are you telling me the truth?

Get in, hurry! He knows where Alan is.

Get In!

There was a call right after you left, I pretended to be you.

A man with a British accent? Yes.

He asked if I was ready to make the trade, he said

Ladera by midnight tomorrow, Hotel Del Torro.

He let me speak to Alan.

He's alive? Yes.

But what about that man just now?

Who knows? He must me some kind of double-cross.

He's not the one who has Alan.

Solange you saved my life.

Well, introduce me to my next husband and we'll call it even.

Non-Smoking, would you have a car to the airport and put it on my account.

And what time does the flight arrive in Ladera?

Thank you.

Yes, you have a nice day too.

Poor old funny face, you don't know what's going on, do you? Ohh.

Do you? Solange, I have to go.

You of all people should understand. You love him.

No I, I mean yes of course I do but it's more than that.

You remember how I was after Stephan died

remember?

I was the one prying you out of bed with a crowbar.

Forcing me to get dressed and making me eat

you were wonderful.

If it wasn't for you

Insisting on the trip to Greece last month I'd have never met Alan

I'm beginning to think that I've made a mistake.

He rescued me, and now it's my turn.

Did you get a good look at your ill-mannered friend last night?

Just his sleeve.

See! He looks like him, doesn't he?

Have you seen this woman?

Have you seen this woman?

Have you seen this woman?

Do you have a flight to Ladera this morning?

Ladera?

Ladera. Hurry please!

No, nothing to Ladera, but there is one to

Jaborka,

it leaves in uhh

six minutes

from there it is 200 miles to Ladera

I'll have one first class ticket, thank you.

First class?

Buenos dias Senior.

Excuse me!

I've got a small idea.

Why don't you move over and take the window seat?

I like the aisle seat, thank you.

It's only fair to warn you

I've got this little condition.

Weak bladder.

Runs in the family.

I'll be back and forth a dozen times before we touch ground.

It would save a lot of knee bumping if you moved over and took the window seat.

No, thank you.

Some people like to bump knees.

My daddy used to say uh

It takes all kinds.

It's just I prefer the aisle seat.

In case of fire.

I don't blame you, this crazy wood pile looking for a match

not that an aisle seat will do you much good

I saw one of these old girls blow on take-off.

Mind if I smoke? Yes.

You wouldn't by a chance have a match would you?

No, I do mind.

You do? I do?

It's not a cheap cigar, it's Cuban.

The best there is, rolled by hand.

I mind.

You do? I do?

Excuse me, what time do they serve breakfast?

Breakfast?

Breakfast! Oh I am sorry

Did I get you?

Yes.

Oh, it's the altitude. It does something to the malt here.

Can I? You got a little bit here on Thank you, I'm fine.

Right there, yeah you got it.

One for the road? No thank you.

First time on a wing, I think.

I beg your pardon.

Regulars know to bring their own breakfast.

My name is Mike Chambers.

Going to the festival in Ladera.

The best there is. It's better than Mardi Gras, I never miss it.

It's very nice to meet you Mr James, but if you don't mind

I think I'll get a little sleep now.

You bet.

Hey, Have you seen this woman?

Who are you? I'm her brother.

From LA, our old mother's very sick. I have to find her right away.

You sold her a ticket, right? Now quick where to?

You're not a policeman? Maybe I'm with the FBI.

Maybe you're wanted for smuggling drugs over the border,

and I'm gonna get you deported.

Maybe I get a gun in my pocket, you want to find out?

I'm gonna bother you again.

You can't say I didn't warn you.

Don't mind my saying,

rubbing knees with you continues to be the high point of my trip

I do mind, please would you get off my foot.

You certainly do mind a lot of things

a man can't smoke, can't have a beer, can't go to the head

my foot.

Sorry!

Is there someone who would exchange seats with me?

But señora we are landing in seven minutes.

I don't mind, I'll exchange

you Should have stuck with me.

Excuse me, do you have any small airplanes for hire?

Only one but it's a fire aircraft.

Where are you going? Ladera.

Excellent, the plane will get you there in an hour.

In the meantime I will found you a comfortable inn.

Inn? I want to get there within an hour.

You see, this is true but the pilot will not be back for three days.

What about the bus? Do you have a bus?

Or a car?

Can you rent me a car with a driver?

I just rented the last car.

Listen, I'll pay anything.

Whoever rented it I'll pay him twice as much

and the same amount to you if you can arrange me a driver.

Everything is arranged. He agrees and he will be your driver

you rent the car.

Excellent, he drives you pay.

Does he speak English? Oh yes, he speaks English.

There's a map in your car.

Would you like some insurance?

No, Thank you.

I'm really very grateful to you.

Did the man tell you that I have to be in Ladera?

Mind if I smoke?

This isn't helping.

Did you hear me?

What do I call you?

Mr Chambers, I rented this car and I hired you as my driver

and I'm asking you to get rid of that cigar

you paid for the car you paid for the driver.

You didn't pay for the cigar

I paid for the cigar. How much?

Make me an offer Miss

Mrs.

Mrs?

Mrs what?

Mrs Jones.

Jones?

Mrs Jones. Jones?

Mr Jones must be in a great line of work

or do you make your money by selling cosmetics door to door?

I'm with the circus Mr Chambers

I fly out of a cannon five nights a week

you'll be surprised how well it pays.

You all right?

I have a hard head. Hard-headed soft-hearted.

Or is it hard-hearted soft-headed

I've never heard either.

You'd be better off sitting up here.

Oh, I'm fine back here, thanks

hard-hearted hard headed that's what it is.

You're trying to kill me, and doing a wonderful job.

It's a shortcut.

You said you want to be in Ladera by midnight.

This isn't a road.

It is if you were a goat.

If we stick to the main road, we won't get there until breakfast.

But they said it was only 200 miles.

As the crow flies, this car isn't equipped with wings.

You see those mountains? It's either around or through, take your choice.

Don't get lost Mr Chambers.

My great grandfather was an Indian scout

I can smell North.

That's your cigar.

Where's Ladera?

The Red Dot.

And where are we?

That's hard to say.

It is?

Yeah, most of these mountain roads aren't on the map.

You should get yourself some reading glasses.

I don't need reading glasses.

How about some longer arms?

Mr Chambers!

No, not three Dollars.

Mr Chambers!

Just a minute.

Si, tres dolares.

What are you doing?

I'm ordering some lunch.

He wants three dollars for the cheese.

Three bucks.

How many pounds does this look like to you?

Give him whatever he wants and let's go.

Are you kidding they get insulted if you don't bargain.

I can't insult a man in a foreign country, I'm an American representative.

I sincerely hope not.

Take a whiff, pretend it smells bad, shake your head like you don't like it.

Oh, That was good.

Señora Jones, she says it stinks.

Only one dollar

I have to be in Ladera by midnight.

We don't want this stinking cheese.

Now you did it.

You hurt his feelings.

Report me to the united nations.

Please, can we get back on the road.

You're in a big hurry.

Meeting someone in Ladera?

My fiancé.

Oh, I thought you were married

I was.

Divorced?

Widowed.

Natural causes?

I murdered him with a grapefruit knife?

Mr James, I see no reason why we have to discuss our personal lives.

In fact I don't see any reason why we have to talk at all.

No talking.

Fine with me.

Fine with you? Fine with me.

Fine with me.

Fine with me.

Fine with you.

Whoever talks first,

buy dinner when we hit Ladera.

She got a car and some jerk to drive it.

What do you want me to do? Grow wings?

Just get a car out here.

You're the almighty Oz. Tell your boss I want a car and I want it right now.

This isn't good for my health you know, my ulcer's starting to kick up.

Yeah, just get a car and make it air condition.

Yeah, you heard me, air conditioned.

Have you ever been down here in July?

All right.

You want the phone?

What is it? What's wrong?

I knew it, dinner's on you.

My watch is stopped. What time is it?

Well let's see.

Sun comes up in the east.

Overhead around noon going down in the west.

Why can't you wear a watch like everybody else?

I thought we agreed not to get personal on this trip.

How long have we been sitting here?

Not long.

Isn't there something, or someone?

Or a village? I don't know.

Can't you fix it?

I'll tell you the truth. I was never much good with my hands.

You know, I was a bookish kid.

I never built my own go-kart, never tinkered around with a family dodge.

Tell you what, you get behind the wheel,

I'll push. When I give you the word, throw it in gear

I can't.

You'd rather push?

There's a terrible glare, and I forgot my sunglasses.

Well here, you can use mine.

Well, I don't have my license.

Well, the goats are known to take bribes.

I don't know how to drive.

What?

I don't know how to drive.

A lot of people don't know how to drive.

I mean I've always lived in cities, a lot of city people never learn to drive

I'm not going to sit here and apologize.

Apologize for using public transportation,

A chauffeur is public transportation?

Car in the city is just a is just a liability

I will bet my last dollar that you've never seen the inside of a bus.

Tell me quick, what's the fair from your place to candlestick park?

The Kyle palace telegraph hill, Chinatown?

I don't remember.

Come on, I'll show you what to do.

Get behind the wheel.

When I give you the word

throw that lever in the drawer.

Ready. Yeah.

Okay, throw the gear!

I Did it!

Put on the break.

How? I can not!

Hit the beak!

Pedal on the left.

I can't!

Hold it!

Help!

Help!

Mr Chambers?

Mr Chambers?

It's all right, we're safe.

I disagree.

What will they do?

Whatever they ask.

Be easy, I'm ticklish.

Will they shoot us? If we're lucky.

Banditos like to tie their victims to a rock

cover them with honeysuckle and send out invitations.

Invitations?

Ants, dogs, wolves, his friends, her friends

no jacket required.

Don't frighten me. I have to try it.

Let's make a run for it.

How are you going to run with a rifle jammed up your nose? I'm just curious.

If we stay we'll never get to Ladera.

I'd be eager to get there at all.

Do something!

You get any suggestions?

I don't have any suggestions. Since when?

Any suggestions?

I don't have.

Not very good in a crisis

I do all right.

Esta Señorita Marido?

He wants to know if you're a virgin!

What should I say?

I don't remember whether they maim them or marry them.

Señor

esta Señorita es mi esposa.

Si.

What did you tell him?

That you are my wife, and

that your good years were behind when you married me.

Thanks a lot.

And I told him you're a good kisser.

Tell him not to touch me.

He said you'll be his wife. What? Why?

Listen whatever your name is

Mazo.

Didn't they kill you?

I volunteered to be a flower girl and got a stay of execution.

Listen Mazo, I know you're a reasonable man

have all our money if you just let us leave now

I'll see you that you get even more money, tell him.

Ahh Señor, the bride says that

For the good of the family, she would like some civilization.

Ah, yes, civilization

So how much would that cost us?

Who do you think I am? If I'm a bandit, I'm not a bastard.

What is he saying?

What is it?

Close your eyes and think of Dom Perignon.

This is a nightmare.

I believe you.

But by the time you become his wife, everything will get wilder.

I wish they will finish everything by midnight.

There's no reason to wait until the last minute.

Wait till after the ceremony there's a big party everybody will get drunk

I'll wait for a chance.

We're talking after the ceremony.

It's going to be a big party. Everyone will get drunk.

Then they'll fall wide, and we can run.

You talk like you know about the party.

It's a logical conclusion

That's my ring!

He'll drag you into his tent accept him etc.

Really?

You're officially Mrs Mazo now.

You may I kiss the bride.

We gotta get out of here

I'm working on it.

You drunk

I'm working on it

I see with great success

at dawn a jackal will be nibbling my honeysuckle toad

you can't blame a man for trying to forget

we never gonna get anywhere on foot

we've got to steal the car.

The Marshall here has got the keys.

So we stick to my plan.

You don't need keys to start a car!

I do.

Two wires under the dashboard and stick them together

I see you know how

Please stop drinking!

You see, I have to keep him company. If I lose cards with him, it's bad

Yeah, then stop playing

Look at this, from me to you.

Amigo!

I have two Aces.

I have three

Buenas noches! Buenas noches!

Where are you going? It's my car, my life

I think he let me win. Banditos have a soft spot on their heart.

You're not going to leave me here!?

When I get to Ladera, I'll let the authorities know where you are.

It might be hard to locate you, so you better leave a trail of breadcrumbs.

Tell him you want me back, and you'll play another hand to win me.

Are you crazy?

If I lose, he'll probably kill us both

I do not care. I do.

I had cheated just now to win

do you think I like knowing that I've compromised my code of ethics

do you think I'll sleep tonight

you can't leave me here I can't explain now

we can still get to Ladera by midnight

you've got to trust me, it's a matter of life and death.

Amigo! Amigo!

He doesn't want. Why not?

He says it's too cheap. Sorry!

Mr Chambers!

What the hell

Amigo!

Dos carte aqui.

I just traded two dozen hand-rolled Cuban cigars for you.

Get in. Thank you, Mr Chambers.

If you hadn't kicked the car.

We'd have been out of here and I'd still had the cigars.

You weren't really going to leave me here?

$50 each, that's 1,200 American Dollars in total.

We're lost, aren't we?

Not lost exactly

temporarily off course

driving around in the dark isn't exactly helping

we park it for the night and get a

fresh start in the morning

I have to get to Ladeira.

Mrs Jones.

It's past midnight.

This fiancé of yours can't wait?

Any man who wouldn't wait for you isn't worth it.

You Know

sometimes you think you know someone and then

all of a sudden.

Mrs Jones

let me give you some advice.

You do not understand!

Maybe I do

first thing in the morning

we'll head down the hill.

It can't be more than an hour or two from Ladera.

It's too late

you sleep, all right.

Mr Chambers, there's something I'd like to explain.

Banditos?

It's not their style, stay down.

It is the man in the trench coat.

You met him before? Only once.

You made some first impression.

Can't you go any faster?

You see those rocks?

When we get there I'm gonna pull over.

But if we stop he'll stop. If we stop he'll stop.

We're gonna get out and run. He'll be after us with a gun.

He'll be after us with a gun.

While one person draws this fire the other one

will double back and steal the keys from his car.

Yeah, when one person gets shot, the other one doubles back and steals ah.

Which one do you want to be?

The person who steals the keys or the one who draws his fire?

Is that all you have available?

Come on, step on the gas.

Come on, hurry up!

You get the keys?

The keys? The car keys?

No I didn't.

You didn't get the car keys?

The keys weren't in the car.

Well, Mrs Jones

they didn't teach you that in finishing school.

It's not that I mind being shot at,

it's just not knowing why that keeps me up in nights.

He wasn't shooting at you, he was really at me

I'll rephrase the question.

It's not that I mind being shot

I have something he wants.

The Alexander Triplets.

Better give me the eggs first.

What do you mean?

I searched your luggage 10 miles out of Seborka.

Who are you?

Who do you work for?

Where's Alan?

I don't want to see you get hurt.

Wait!

Nice to meet you gentlemen.

Good Morning.

I'm Caroline Dulac, do you have a message for me?

Well, well, it isn't the infamous Mr Chambers.

Hi Spicer,

Taking a little vacation?

I'm here for the same reason you are

and I'm warning you for the last time stay out of my way.

Where's the Baroness?

Where did you get your chauffeur's license

the same year you got your license too.

You have the eggs?

No, I had the American burger and a side of fries, I wouldn't recommend it.

Go ahead.

Go ahead, keep it up.

You're late Baroness.

I was instructed to pick you up last night.

How did you get in?

You left the key in the door Baroness, shall we go.

Is Alan still alive?

I lost my wallet, be a pal and put it on the house.

I just saw a man taking my wife

I don't want trouble.

My wife.

Baroness, we've almost given up hope.

How was you journey? Where's Alen?

He wants to see you too.

First give me the Eggs.

Andree.

Thank you.

The Alexander Triplets.

Commissioned by Tsar Nicholas to please his wife.

What some people do for love

each one is unique.

A total of 97 precious jewels.

Two of which are reputed to be the most perfect

rubies in the world.

Thank God! Sorry I'm late.

There's a man he told me to go to market square

and then he tried to kill me

I took the plane to Saboj but there was no communicating flight.

Don't look at me I'm a mess but I was so glad to see you.

What do you mean someone tried to kill you?

You promised no one would hurt her.

Tall man, dark,

quick, with a knife, wears a trench coat rain or shine.

Eliot Spicer.

Last week we were partners this week competitors.

Some people are too ambitious

I'm very grateful his efforts were unsuccessful.

What about Mike Chambers? Is he an ex-partner too?

Chambers?

Will you have what you want?

Will you please let us go now?

Certainly, first thing tomorrow morning.

You must be hungry after your journey Baroness.

Andrea, Will you bring something to eat, could you?

I don't trust him

I think we should wait until dark and then go.

That's my brave girl,

but go where?

There's nothing but bandits and wolves out there.

Don't worry, he's got nothing to gain by killing us.

But we can identify him. Kidnapping is a crime.

So as stealing the Alexander Triplets.

Now we can't hurt him and he knows it

let me take a close look at you.

You know, there were nights I thought I'd never seen you again

Caroline.

Alen, Yes.

Would you give me driving lessons?

Alan?

Alan?

It's like you rose from the dead.

That's how I felt.

Aren't you hungry?

This isn't bad,

you wouldn't think a man like Andrea could cook.

Do you want some more wine?

No thanks.

I owe you five dollars.

You certainly know how to pick the ladies

I never thought she'd succeed.

Despite to Spicer.

If I ever lay hands on that bloody pika he won't be healing.

Followed her as far as Ladera

may know where she is.

Also don't forget about Chambers.

My buyer will be here tomorrow at 8 sharp he won't be late.

I sold him a nice little tale about another bidder.

What about her?

Sooner or later there'll be attack of gilt.

Hello police chief

I've been a naughty girl.

Simple car accident on a nasty mountain road.

Happens to tourists all the time.

Like that little lady in Baybury

a light tap on my head

settle nice and cozy behind the wheel kiss kissing over the edge

a chicken wing?

Did I frighten you? I'm sorry.

What are you doing out here?

Well, looking for you of course

I woke up and you were gone, I thought something had happened

you're shaking.

Forgive me, I just couldn't sleep

I saw the struggle in the mountain.

Are you all right Caroline?

Yes, as long as you're safe.

Caroline?!

It is so early I was trying not to wake you.

Poor darling the things you've been through.

By tomorrow this time

The whole thing will seem like some awful nightmare.

We'll forget all about it, pretend it never happened

I know.

Let's make a vacation of it,

fly down to Rio, spend the week there

oh it's a wonderful idea but

I have to be back by tomorrow, Marie will find the letter.

You remember Marie, the woman who comes to clean.

What letter?

I wrote everything down about stealing the Alexander's triplets, and

where was to bring the ransom.

What's wrong Alan?

Nothing I hope

I'm just worried about you.

Confession in writing?

There's nothing to worry about as long as I'm back by tomorrow.

Tomorrow is Wednesday Caroline

Marie doesn't work on Wednesdays, Mondays.

Mondays.

This gives us plenty of time to get back.

Still it was a foolish thing to do.

Here comes our client now.

Right on time.

Don't take too long disposing of our lady.

Not too close, but I don't want the villagers putting two and two together.

Where the devil is she?

In her room

Andre, hurry up and bring the Baroness, will you?

Baroness?

Yes. Car is ready.

Tell Mr Channing I'll be right out.

Yes ma'am.

Baroness?

I'm coming

They're waiting for you, please hurry.

Baroness?

Just washing up.

Baroness?

Caroline?

You in there?

Caroline?

Break it down!

We need to find her.

All along there is trouble,

Go outside and I'll check downstairs.

You let something slip, you said something.

Do it!

I'll check the west wing.

Don't scream!

Don't run.

If you promise I'll let you go.

Don't let them get to the car.

You have a great way of making friends.

Why didn't you shoot back?

What makes you think I carry a gun?

All criminals carry guns.

Yeah, I see you have the eggs.

Yeah, and I'm returning them to the museum, so kill them if you want me.

I mean kill me if you want them.

You'd be much more fun than a Fabergé egg

theoretically speaking.

Are you gonna kill me? I'm gonna put you on a train.

We shouldn't make it, unless your fiance has the same bright idea.

Don't call him that.

Every couple has their dust-ups.

You gonna keep the ring?

The eggs Mrs Jones?

The Alexander's triplets belong to the museum.

And I'll see that they get them back

I'm with the Interpol, special services

San Francisco branch.

Don't want to miss your train.

Show me your ID! Banditos stole my wallet.

They all say that. Now, why would I make that up?

To get the eggs, of course

I could have thrown you off the mountain back there.

Maybe you're a thief and not a murderer.

Caroline, trust your instincts.

He's here.

Alan? The man with the trench coat.

Can you see him? I do not know.

I push, you steer.

Come on!

Alan!

Caroline!

Dear, nobody's gonna hurt you, I promise

just bring me the eggs back

and you can walk away free, I promise.

Where are the eggs? I don't have them.

Put away the gun let's talk.

He's lying Spicer. Don't let him bluff you

I want those eggs.

Give him the eggs Alan.

Come here and take the eggs.

Take this! What? Are you crazy?

Why can't you carry a gun like everybody else?

Where are we going?

I want a beer, don't you?

Listen, if you're really with Interpol why don't you have a gun?

Carrying a gun is asking for trouble.

You seem to get in trouble without asking.

Only since I met you.

Two beers, please.

Alan recognized you. I'm famous!

Investigators aren't famous

I've been on his tail for three years.

Three years? You must've been very good at your job

I prefer to think that he's just very good at his.

You don't look like anyone from Interpol.

That's the idea!

Why didn't you explain to me the first time?

You were Alan Channing's fiance.

My mother's number in Ohio. She'll vouch for me.

Aren't you going to arrest me?

You're under arrest.

Thank you. You welcome.

This is where we get off.

Give me one good reason why I should jump off a moving train?

Alan will be waiting at the next station.

Good reason.

I don't care I won't do it.

If Alan doesn't wait for us, the police will be.

They don't take Kylie to foreigners bleeding on their turf

I'm not jumping, I could break both my legs

I'd rather face Allan and the police

you go ahead I'm not jumping.

Who said anything about jumping?

You think I'm out of my mind.

Excuse me, we have no money no chickens.

This is humiliating.

Not as humiliating as breaking both legs.

We don't even know where we are.

Taxi.

I searched, they are not in Ladeira.

Go to San Francisco and wait their.

San Francisco?

Yeah, I have a there a home and a nice hot bath.

All I want now is to be home, and have a nice hot bath.

They don't have tubs in prison.

They don't? Only showers,

no hot water.

How many years will I get?

For stealing national treasure? I don't know it's hard to say.

Why don't we talk about something more pleasant?

I wouldn't mind if I knew Alan was in jail too

I'll catch him don't worry.

I'll catch him.

I met him in Greece you know,

he and my sister-in-law had mutual friends.

Travels in the best circles.

Why didn't I see what kind of a man he was?

How could I have been so blind?

Don't be too hard on yourself.

He seemed nice enough.

He didn't even try to kiss me for at least a week.

Well, that should have made you suspicious

I wouldn't wait seven days to kiss a woman

I suppose you bash them over the head and drag them into a cave.

I whistle they come running

yeah, in the other direction if they have any sense.

Come on Mrs Jones,

you know I'm your type, admit it.

It's a long way to San Gabriel.

If I were you I'd get some sleep.

Very few prince charmings since Sing Sing Mrs Jones.

Can you afford to pass me up

I'll take my chances

look, as long as you want, no charge.

Please, give me a phone.

I want Aww, don't do that.

I want an American doctor, I am a US citizen.

Stop, my leg is all right.

Does anybody here speak English?

Blue cross or blue shield.

I don't feel good about this, it's stealing.

What were you doing with the Alexander triplets?

Taking them out to be cleaned.

That's different, a man's life was at stake they said they were going to

What's that? Is it the police?

It's our old friend Spicer.

How do you know his name?

Whose name?

Spicer's, you just said Spicer, and you said it before at the train station.

I've seen his picture

we have files on those jokers.

Don't see him yet.

Yet?

Wait till he puts the keys in the car.

You've done this with me in the mountains.

Don't you want to have your turn as the moving target

when I say go, you get his attention

I'll borrow his car.

Go!

Hey!

Hey!

Wait a minute!

Hold it, hold Stop!

I said hold it!

Did they teach you that at Interpol?

As a matter of fact it was chapter one in the handbook.

Does the handbook suggest any alternatives?

I could click my heels together but that would put us in Kansas.

You're turning me over to Interpolate, or to the San Francisco police?

Neither,

once you've confessed and the eggs are back

I don't have anything on Alan.

Right now you've got what they want.

So I'm the bait?

No the eggs are the bait.

You're the hook, I'm the fisherman.

The ocean represents mankind the rod the real you know the rest.

What if I refuse.

I thought you said you want to hear him singing in the cell next to yours

we're going to your apartment.

That's the first place they'll expect to find you in, but you won't be there.

But the eggs will.

You are listening to me, aren't you Mrs Jones?

Yes.

What time would it be when we arrive in San Francisco?

Well let's see,

the sun rises about 6 a.m. in the east

around noon it reaches above us

settling in the west

Where are we?

We're across the street from your apartment.

Take a look!

I think someone was robbed.

Welcome wagon.

I don't think I'm hungry after all.

You see, now we've got to go to the police.

If I don't turn myself in they'll think I'm guilty.

You are guilty.

Yeah, but I didn't shoot anyone.

You're harboring a fugitive from justice you're?

An accessory.

It's all your fault, I picked up the gun to give it to you.

How do you expect to protect people without guns from people with guns

You talk too much Mrs Jones, just listen.

Alan is going to jail, you're not.

You're going to go to your sister-in-law's apartment, and you're going to stay there.

Tell her anything you want but don't tell her the truth.

Don't answer the phone,

Don't answer the door unless it's me,

I'll buzz once and stop, twice and stop, got it?

Don't worry about me, I'll be okay.

I didn't even say I was worried.

It's Alan!

Get back in the car.

What?

I am the one who is criminal and he's buying groceries.

What are you gonna do down there?

Wait!

He can't just buy oranges and shop like a regular person.

It isn't fair

I know it's not fair, but what are you gonna do?

Pull out a .45 and take us to his apartment for an egg hunt, come on!

Arrest him! You're an investigator.

He hasn't done anything. He's done everything.

No evidence.

I'll stand up in court never mind the evidence I'm a witness.

Enough of that!

Hello!

Is someone there?

I've just been chasing your friend Caroline

and I lost her.

What are you going to do now?

She was here to see you.

She'll try again.

I will wait for her.

I love you.

I'd like two rooms, please.

It's lunchtime, I got one room on the second floor.

I'll take it.

Two hours or three hours?

Three hours.

You stayed here before?

Whenever they send me to San Francisco.

I think you need to speak to Interpol about increasing your expense allowance.

What are you doing?

What's it look like?

Oh of course, go right ahead.

You drove all night? You must be exhausted.

Mind you. No, but I slept in the car.

Really go right ahead.

You take the bed I'll take the floor.

Oh don't be ridiculous, you did all the driving

if anybody takes the floor it should be me

I insist. I insist.

Fine with me.

You could have asked for twin beds.

It's a flop house.

At least separate rooms?

I did.

Mr Chambers, I really think we should go to the police.

No police.

You could give them the eggs and say you found them

I don't know why you took from me.

Alan would know you think I'd still have them.

Shouldn't we be coming up with a plan or something?

I'd like a collect call to New York please, it's an emergency to Interpol.

Special services, please!

I'm calling to check the credentials of one of your investigators.

His name is: Michael Chambers.

Chambers.

You sure?

Maybe he's using another name or something,

He's about six foot two

blue eyes, dark hair, late 40's early 50's,

smokes terrible Cuban cigars.

I see, thank you

555-5674, collect from Caroline.

Solange be there!

Hello!

Yes I'll accept the call.

Caroline,

Are you all right? Where are you?

I can't stay here.

There's a man, he says it's from Interpol but they've never heard of him.

Have you read the papers?

I'm wanted for shooting a man?

I don't know what to do,

he could wake up any minute, he's got the eggs on his pillow I trusted him.

I've been so worried about you, tell me where you are and I'll come and get you.

In a hotel on Eddie street, the Jefferson's something. But I can't stay here now.

Listen to me Caroline

take a taxi and meet me at the opera house

I can't take a taxi, the bandit stole my money.

Listen Solange, I've got to return the triplets

I took them and I've got to bring them back.

Meet me at the theater in the rehearsal rooms.

All right? Bye Solange.

Jefferson Hotel, Eddie street.

They're on the pillow try not to disturb him.

Lady,

lady wait a minute

For the taxi.

Thanks.

Mrs Jones?

It doesn't work, the stairs are that way.

LIAR!

Shall we take a walk.

I left a note for Mr Chambers

he knows where I am.

You've tried that before, remember?

The letter for Marie the cleaning lady

and there was no letter.

He's an investigator with Interpol, they know everything.

Is that what he told you?

Chambers is a businessman and an art collector.

I'm afraid I once sold him a two million dollar fake.

And you know how these self-made types are.

They hold a grudge.

I owe him an apology.

He's dead.

Awful isn't it?

Those little things you'll never get a chance to say to each other.

Caroline?

Caroline?

That's not good Caroline.

Believe me, if I had the choice I'd let you go.

I haven't gone this far in business by leaving loose ends.

Without taking care.

Caroline?

I See you!

I really enjoyed our romance

if that's any consolation

I can't say that it is.

Mind stepping over there?

Suicide.

Suicide's better.

Caroline black faced with the charge of attempted murder

throws herself down the elevator shaft

in order to avoid public humiliation

I won't do it.

Expect I'll have to give you a little push.

But what about the eggs?

There's no point in killing me if you don't have the eggs.

But Andre took care of that.

No he didn't.

Look!

Get any closer I'll throw down the elevator shaft

and smash into a billion pieces and be worthless.

Solange!

Quick run for the police!

Now he'll kill you too.

Andre didn't come back.

That's how he knew where to find me.

My god! You introduced me to him.

It's all a plan?

May I cut in?

Stay where you are.

Or I'll throw her down the shaft.

In front of two witnesses?

Come on Alan,

murder's not as easy as stealing eggs.

Solange will probably turn evidence for a reduced sentence.

Or you're going to throw her down too?

I tell you what

Let the lady go

then we'll have a little talk.

Don't take another step.

Oh mother, may I?

It's all over between us Alan

there's really no point in you hanging around.

All right, nobody move!

Spicer? Lieutenant Spicer

Interpol, undercover assignment.

You're all under arrest.

About attempted murder. Uhh.

Robbery, Yes.

Grand theft. Yeah.

Kidnapping. Uhh.

Arsenal, Which one?

All of them. No no, I mean who goes with which charge?

It doesn't matter. Hold on!

Quiet!

Right, this one is the prize, but they all dirty.

I demand the right to see my lawyer

I insist on knowing the charges met against me.

This man threatened me with a knife and that's not in the handbook.

Handbook?

Come on Spicer, you know we're not guilty.

And I want a special charge filed against him; obstruction of justice.

This guy's been in my way ever since I was assigned to this case.

You'd never caught Alan without him.

Everybody quiet.

She's the one who stole the triplets. Solange!

Well, my brother left it all to you;

the estate in Cannes and the penthouse in new York,

I have nothing.

Alan told me that you would not get hurt.

You have a penthouse in new York.

I want to make a statement because I have done nothing.

I didn't want your estate you could have kept your state,

all you had to do was say so.

Does it have a doorman and a view of the parks?

Baroness DuLac!

Well, I told the men in their everything they said I could go.

Do you know Mr Chambers? Is he still here?

He was released about an hour ago but he asked me to give you a message.

Okay. It was goodbye.

Is that all? He didn't say where I could reach him?

Sorry. Oh I forgot, it was goodbye Mrs Jones.

Would you like a light?

I'm trying to quit, just ballast.

What are you doing here?

Looking for someone.

Have you found someone?

Not yet. Ah!

Maybe you could help me.

She's got to fit into this.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Don't you want to try it on before the line forms.

Fine with me.

Fine with you?

Fine with me.

The End
