All language subtitles for Rockford Files s05e07 Three Day Affair With A Thirty Day Escrow.eng

You were kidnapped
by the Arabs.

They were hot to
get their hands on a young woman, Khedra Aziz.

And I don't think
they wanted to elect her Miss El Monte.

I am already dead.

You're not going
to call the police, are you?

We're just going
to get in deeper.

Deeper is when you
withhold evidence, Einstein.

It is not your place
to speak unless you are spoken to.

What do I get
for contempt of court? A bug down my shirt?

Death is punishment
for such thing.

ROCKFORD
This is Jim Rockford.

At the tone, leave your name
and message.

I'll get back to you.

Rockford?

Alice, Phil's Plumbing.

We're still
jammed up on a job,

so we won't be able
to make your place.

Use the bathroom
at the restaurant one more night.

Mr. Rockford,

first, if we have caused you
inconvenience, apologies.

Inconvenience?
Are you serious?

I get yanked out of my bed
at gunpoint, told to forget about my clothes,

it's 3:00 in the morning...
Inconvenience, huh?

Doctors say I should
not be walking around in late hours.

My bad luck is
angina pectoris.

Mr. Rockford, sir,
you worked some weeks ago for a man

named Seen Innes?

It's pronounced Shawn.

Oh, now, hey...
Hey, look, look, I...

I run a small one-man
detective agency. I...

I don't offer the services
that all the big companies offer.

I really have to work
at what I do offer,

like client confidentiality.

Hasan Al-Qawari
has not gone to bed yet, has he?

If he's free, have him
to come in here, please.

We have here
one of your bills,

charging Mr. Innes
for three days missing persons work.

$715.

We believe you were
searching for a woman named Khedra Aziz.

It's so, isn't it?

All right, none of this
is worth getting my neck broken over.

Look, Innes told me
that he spent

a ski weekend with
Khedra up in Mammoth

and she cleared out
and took his jewelry, luggage, skiwear.

Hey, now I can't help it,
that's what he told me.

Said she had some friends
up in the Arabic community in San Francisco.

I went up there,
checked around, no go.

Somebody said
that she might have flown to Nice.

She never arrived
at the Nice.

I'm not her travel agent.

This must be settled.
We must know for sure.

I don't blame you, lady.

Hi, Officer.
Officer, I... I can explain.

Officer, I was...
Could you give me a lift home?

Lieutenant, if I may,
why would Jim make this up?

Let's look at this rationally.

No, no, you look at it
if you want to, Becker.

It means entering
the world of gonzo logic.

Now that's just some trip
I don't want to take. Life's too short.

All right, forget about
what they did to me, huh?

They were hot to
get their hands on a young woman, Khedra Aziz.

And I don't think
they wanted to elect her Miss El Monte.

Suppose she's in danger?

Oh, the old
"woman in jeopardy" routine.

It's 4:30 in the morning.
Will you get off my wire, Rockford?

You know, I think
you were just tossed out of some house in Bel-Air.

And you!
Who, me?

Yes, I don't ever want to be
bothered by any of his flaky cop-outs ever again.

How do you get suckered
into these things?

But...
Never mind!

Never mind.

A lot of homes
in Bel-Air have tried

to ape the French
architectural quality.

To me, most of them
just don't make it.

Now this one's
a true Loire Valley ch�teau.

Could have been
designed by Bruant or Mansart.

Yes, but it wasn't,
Mr. Margulies.

It was designed
by Ben Kopka.

He also designed
mummies' tombs for 1930s horror films.

Aha! Well, you've
researched the plot plans

down at the Department
of Building and Safety. Thank God.

You know,
there's nothing worse to us real estate agents

than schlepping
through a property with a client

who's a babe
in the woods.

That's why I use the copter.

It gives the big view
before we get into the noisome specifics.

Really? I thought
the chopper might be an affectation.

Let me speak frankly,
Mr. Lamont.

Go.

Now, I can understand
your not wanting to tell me who you represent.

I can understand
the need for anonymity

in a transaction like this.

I can understand
because I've been there many, many times.

Now, I've sold homes
to a lot of very, very famous people

and I... I know
what happens. It gets out.

So I understand how
you feel, you see.

Charo, for example,
wants to move to Bel-Air.

Well, first thing
you know, it causes a great furor

and the lady, the star,
gets zero privacy.

So, I know exactly
how you feel.

You've done
business with Charo?

Oh, just an example,
just an example.

Charo, Gregg and Cher,
when they were still together,

Ringo Starr, Liza, Barbra...

All major, major people.

No offense, Mr. Margulies,
but there are names and there are names.

Oh, not really.

I'm sorry, but I can't
really tell you who I'm working for.

Oh, absolutely.
I only wanted you to know.

But, you ask me personally,
if three-five is a fair price.

It's a divorce thing.

The owner is motivated.
It may be $40,000 or $50,000 too high,

but that's what?
The grace notes?

Well, my employer
would probably tell you

it took her many,
many long years

to accumulate
3,500,000 grace notes.

Absolutely. I...

It took "her"?

I did let
something slip, didn't I?

I suppose in this area,
it's just as important

who buys a house
as well as how much they pay.

Not really.

What is a house actually?

What are we talking about
after you've stripped away all the tchotchkes?

Enclosed space.

Yeah, that's why...

That's why Sean told me
he liked working for you.

It's the sane atmosphere.

Sean?

Sean Innes.

I met him at
Aspen last year.

I've known
Sean Innes socially.

He's a very nice man,
but he doesn't work for me.

That's strange.
He specifically said he did.

He showed me
a payroll check during a blackjack game.

Someone's laboring
under a misapprehension.

Sean's a writer,
a fine one, too.

I don't know how
I could have misunderstood him.

I've been trying to
get in touch with him since I got to town,

but he's gone
from his apartment.

You might know
where I could reach him?

No, not really.

What are your
first impressions of the place?

I mean,
are the juices right?

Because before
we go inside

and waste everybody's time
on details,

I think we should all know
if we're in the ballpark.

What, the inside of the house
is now a detail?

Well, let me see.

I think you can say
we're in the ballpark.

It's large enough to
allow for a security staff.

And the two children
want California, especially Caroline.

Mr. Lamont,

let's speak frankly.

Are we talking here about
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis?

Now, I didn't say that
and you'd do well not to repeat anything

you've heard here today.
Absolutely.

It's like you said,
you've dealt with the very, very famous.

It's no big deal.
Absolutely.

I don't think I'd be speaking
out of school if I said to you that those names

I mentioned before
are just chicken liver.

I mean, what is
show business fame?

Forget it!
I mean, I think that you...

I mean, she could
trust me implicitly.

And absolutely.
Oh, absolutely, I'm sure.

Evening, Mr. Rockford.

Hey, look at this.

I found a.38
in your cookie jar.

I hope you didn't
spoil your appetite on sweets.

Say, look,
Mr. Rockford,

it has been bandied about
that you're looking for Sean Innes.

I am here to find out why
is how come I'm here.

You... You won't mind
if I get up off my floor, will you, Mr. Ludes?

Yeah, well,
look, I'll tell you what happened, really.

You see, sometimes Pls
are hired

by lawyers executing wills.
Now, I'm not warranting

that Mr. Innes is going to
come into any money,

but then I wouldn't
rule that out either.

You see,
in a case like this...

You are stalling for time,

and boy,
that really frosts me!

Oh, hey, buddy, do you
have any idea of your strength, huh?

Hey, look, I'm not going
to rankle you anymore,

I promise, I promise.
I'm going to give you the whole straight dope.

Look, Innes hired me
to do some work for him.

Well, he... He wanted me
to find somebody. I don't know what...

Okay, pal. Okay, how do you
like the champagne, huh?

Festive, huh?

All right, who sent you?
What's the story?

Let me go, mister!
Let me up! I'll kill you!

I'm not telling you nothing!

Oh, really?

Let me see now.

"Malibu homeowner
shoots intruder.

"Eight-foot picnic ham
shot and killed

"while breaking into
a trailer illegally.

"The police..."
All right, all right.

Sean had me come over.

Oh, well, isn't he
a sweetheart? Now where is he?

Where is...
Up on Angelo Drive.

He's up there with some broad.
I think he's hiding out.

Look, he give me a couple of
Thai Sticks if I come over and check you out.

Some real estate buddy
has told him that you was looking for him

and Sean got scared.

Oh, he doesn't know
what scared is.

All right, Mr. Ludes,

you're going to spend
the night as a guest of the County of Los Angeles.

I'll get you
for this, dude.

I swear, man,
I promise with my last breath,

you're gonna wish
you'd never seen me

'cause I'm gonna
see a lawyer about this cork in the eye thing.

And you're gonna be
looking at one hell of a personal injury suit.

Oh, yeah.

I...

Well, I thought
you were the carpool for my daughter's school.

Yeah, I'm Carl Purdue.

Is Sean Innes around?
He called me late last night.

He wanted me
to bring some books and stuff to him.

Yeah, he's out there
someplace. Come on in.

I know it's early.
I'm sorry to get you out of bed.

There is precious
little reason to stay in bed around here.

Angelina? Angelina!

Want some
agua del cool, huh?

How about it?
Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute!

What is with you, Innes?
You're really something, you know? You know?

We're basically strangers,
then I get dragged out of my bed,

and I worry about the fact
that you might have been killed,

so what do I get
for thanks?

You send some bozo over
to bash my head in.

All right. Now, listen,
I don't blame you for wanting to get to your anger.

I mean, I handled
it wrong sending Ludes over there.

I know he's unpredictable.

I just really wanted to
find out why you were looking for me.

I didn't want him
to get into your space.

Yeah, well,
you start explaining the Arab problem

or I'll get into your space
in a big way.

I wish I knew
more about it, Jim. Really I do.

They got to me first.
They busted into my apartment.

Talk about violence.

I mean, I didn't
get a word out when one of them

took his fist and he
smashed it into my face.

I managed to run out,
you know, but...

But my nasal septum
is damaged. My nose is full of packing.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

So you squirrel away
up here where everybody's wearing linen

instead of clothes.
All right, all right.

Let's start with you
and Khedra Aziz. Who is she to you really?

Boy. Oh, boy... Okay.

Khedra was a housekeeper
at a place, you know, where I used to play tennis.

Our interchanges
were unusual for me vis-�-vis a woman.

A relationship was forming.

We really started to see
where we could share some space.

Are you telling me
that you fell in love? With a housekeeper?

Is that what
you're trying to say?

Ah, love... I mean,
I can't deal with that.

Why the story about
Khedra ripping you off, huh?

Well,
as our feelings intensified, she became frightened.

I guess the honesty
got to be too much. She took off.

And I was afraid that
you wouldn't want to...

You wouldn't want
to track her down,

you know,
I mean if you knew that she took off on her own.

And how right you were.

How right you were.

Now that I see what
the situation here up in Happy Acres is,

who could blame me, huh?

You see,
that's why I don't involve myself in domestic cases.

There's always
a lady in a sheet around somewhere.

Now, wait a minute,
wait a minute. Miriam and I work together.

We raise money
for the Film Institute.

When she heard
I was having difficulty, she invited me to stay here.

Women respond to me.
I don't know why.

I used to question it,
I don't anymore.

You know,
I just go with it.

Well, you're
a good-looking guy,

the soulful eyes,
the whole bit.

But I think,
really, it's that... That honesty.

Oh, Angelina, Angelina.

You want something, Rockford?

Hold it, Angelina.

Now you listen, boychick.

There is a routine around here
and things go on in the a.m.

Where the hell do you think
you are, the bloody Hotel Eden Roc or something,

ordering steak and eggs
and champagne yet?

Listen,
I'm not feeling very well.

You're not feeling well?
Well, after two nights with you, neither am I.

Now you pack up
and get out.

Miriam,
hey, you're not serious?

Serious? Serious?
Buddy, I am grim. Out!

You're embarrassing me.

Out!

You can leave with me.

We can go over to the house
where Khedra works, if we can get a line on her.

Oh, no, no.
I can't go over there. I...

Innes, I'm tired
of being in trouble because of you.

You go pack
or I'll unpack your nose.

All right.

Khedra's brother?
Are you sure? He looked lethal.

And rich.

About Miriam,

you know, it was pure
physical depletion

that caused that problem
she was talking about.

That's never happened to me
before and probably never happen again.

The truth is
I've been battling this insidious case

of mononucleosis
these past weeks.

I should see my doctor.

Yeah, well,
when illness interferes with your work, you should.

I've seen that
notebook you have.

How many broads
with money do you have on the hook, exactly?

You make it sound mechanical.

I answer
basic human needs, caring, affection.

Oh, I do feel sick.

Would you like
a second opinion?

Fear is what causes
that lack of steam.

It's hard to get excited
about old Miriam when you keep picturing yourself

hanging upside down
while some Arab's picking your teeth.

Emotions never
affect my performance.

A real trooper, huh?

This is cute.
Khedra worked here?

It's the same
mausoleum that I toured with your friend Margulies.

So?

So? My coincidence
meter is redlined

and you've got sweat
on the top of your lip.

Why did Margulies deny
you worked for him?

Well, well, I...

I think it's all
going to come out in the wash anyway.

And soon.

Oh...

Wait a minute,
what are you doing?

You're not going
to call the police, are you?

We're just going
to get in deeper.

Deeper is when you
withhold evidence, Einstein.

Sergeant, please.

Dennis, this is Jim.

You better get up
where I'm at, 2424 Copa De Oro.

A man's been killed.

Right, I understand
what you're saying.

Yeah.

Well, there's nothing
I can do about it.

Right.

Becker,

who handles
something like this?

Would it be
ballistics or forensics?

I just spoke with Cummings
at ballistics, and he wants some kind of a ruling on it.

Oh, brother.

Okay, Rockford,
out in the foyer.

Listen, Becker,
what is this about the victim being a sheik

from the Arab
Democratic Republic?

He's a sheik all right.
He owns this place.

His name is
Mohamed Farhud Aziz.

Anything ringing upstairs,
Lieutenant?

Yeah, Rockford, yeah.

You claimed you
were kidnapped by the Arabs.

Well, we'll get to you
in a minute.

Yeah, well, get to this.
The woman they were looking for,

her name, as I told you,
was Khedra Aziz.

That was her name?

Who's in charge here?

Deputy Chief Gorman?

There is somebody in charge?

Right here, sir.

Brief me, Chapman.

Well, sir,
apparently it seems

that the victim was
also the owner of this residence,

approximately
30 years of age.

Becker,
the hard data, please.

The ME says
the cause of death appears to be a skull fracture

apparently resulting
from cranial impact with a blunt instrument,

to wit,
a glass swordfish figurine.

Best estimate,
he's been dead since about midnight last night.

Witnesses?
Negative.

I spoke to the butler
at his home. He's on his way down.

He said that the victim
was going through a divorce

and the wife is not present
in the residence.

He also said
the household staff and security

were given
the night off last night by the victim.

Uh-huh. Who found the body?

I did. Jim Rockford.
I'm a PI.

There was
another man with me.

His name is Sean Innes,
but he took off.

Thank you, Mr. Rockford,
I'll fill the chief in.

He's interested in
this case primarily because of the...

Doug, let him finish.

Well, the fact is
I was working on a case

involving the dead man's wife,
Khedra Aziz.

I was kidnapped.
I reported it, but at the time it was just a big yuk.

I got no action.

Who yuked?

Lieutenant Chapman,
rather than go into all this just now,

why don't you submit to me
in writing a report of what happened

and why the complaint
wasn't filed?

Yes, sir.

What are you gonna do?

It goes with
the lieutenant's shield that you take the flak

for everybody
down the line.

You own all the flak,
Chapman, and you know it.

Lieutenant...
Becker, I don't want you to worry.

We're still going
to break this case.

Now take Vincent,
get over to the Bellagio Hotel,

pick up
the Arabian contingent.

If you'd have done that
the other night,

the little guy with
the archery set might still be alive.

Lieutenant, if I may,
maybe now is not the time to make that move,

what with all the pressure
and secrecy from the top.

Becker,
my job is to solve homicides!

Now this guy Innes,
if he's a friend of yours,

I think I should tell you
that he looks best for this murder.

He ran away
from the scene, right? But we're gonna nail him.

Yeah, well,
he's not a friend of mine,

but he ran away
in my car, so be careful with the nails.

Angelina!

Angelina!

Oh, Jim, listen, hey...
Sean, you know what?

I'm going to do something
I've never done before.

Usually, I like to
talk to a guy first,

but with you,
I'm going to rap you right in the mouth.

Now, now. There,
there, there, there.

Now maybe I can
talk to you without getting all riled up, huh?

Well, not as riled up.

Really, really,
I'm sorry I ran out on you, Jim.

I didn't know what else to do.
The cops would have traced me.

I tell you, Jim,
I tell you, I'm at the end of my tether.

Yeah, here, here.

Miriam would only
let me stay this time on the condition

that I do the housework,

that I change
the bottled water and I clean the pool.

Oh, from stud to schlepper.
That's tragic.

Of course, we're both
in deep trouble, Innes.

Look, I don't think
you killed Aziz, but the cops do.

So you're gonna have to
start talking about the affair you had with Aziz's wife.

It looks bad, real bad.

I really am a fraud,
you know, Jim?

Yeah.

I don't know why
I'm acting this way.

I...

I haven't even told
my shrink about it, you know.

But I've been hiding out,
both in fact and in my emotions.

I've been hiding out
from myself.

It's almost like
I was... I was...

Let's talk about
the troubles outside your head, huh?

That's where all
my problems are.

I mean, just let me...
Let me get a couple aspirin.

My... My...
I don't feel well.

I'm going to
level with you, Jim.

I'm very good
with women, you know.

Now, look, why does a house
come on the market?

Change, right?
Death, new job, divorce.

Well, sometimes if
Cy Margulies wanted to sell a particular house

and that house showed
no signs of coming on the market,

why, he'd do what he could
to create a climate of change.

Are you telling me
that he creates divorces?

Well, sometimes
he would create a situation

for a couple
whereby divorce follows.

That's why he uses only
women real estate agents, attractive ones.

I mean, they make the moves
on the husband, then get him into the sack,

and before you know it,
divorce court.

Oh, that's why
the Aziz mansion came up for sale.

No, see, the Aziz thing
was atypical.

When Aziz hit Bel-Air
from the old country, he blew a few circuits.

He was like a kid
in a candy store.

Partying all the time,
sleeping around.

Where do you fit in?

Margulies already had
a climate for divorce in the Aziz case.

But in spite of
what Aziz was doing,

Khedra wouldn't
divorce him.

See, she was caught up
in that transition period

between old-style Moslem wife
and contemporary woman.

No matter what
the husband does, divorce is out of the question.

You sit home,
you wait for your man.

Well, Cy wanted that house.

So he sends you in
with a box of candy

and your line
of psychobabble, huh?

And Khedra, she resisted
as long as she could,

but she was just
too miserable.

And when Aziz heard about
the affair, he filed for divorce and threw her out.

The good old double standard.

You know what happened?
I don't know, maybe...

Maybe it was guilt
or something, I don't know,

but I actually began
to love her.

Yeah.

This wispy little dodo
from the Middle East.

And I told her
what I had been doing and she took off.

Yeah, well, sport,
that's very unfortunate

because she's probably
the only person

who can tell us
why one man is dead

and why you and I
are coming close.

So we've got to find her.
Now go put your pants on.

How do we find her?
You've been looking for weeks.

Yeah, but you've been
hiding things from me all that time.

Now I know who
and what she really is,

maybe I can
find out something.

Friends, relatives?

Does she attend
religious services? Anything.

All she ever really did
was run the house.

The only people
she really got close to,

I guess, would be the staff.

She had a personal maid?

Yeah.
Concepcion Echevaria, I think.

But, listen, I mean,
she was a princess, silver spoon in the mouth,

the whole bit. I mean,
people like that don't go live with their maids, right?

People like that
can't live without them.

You know,
if she is in there, I can't go in.

I mean, she's not
going to know how to deal with her anger,

and I'm not gonna know
how to deal with her inability to deal.

And neither of us
are gonna be really be dealing from feelings.

Why don't you skip
all that minestrone?

Tell her you're sorry as
hell and you feel like a slug.

Yeah, I really do love her,
you know,

but, I mean, love is such
a heavyweight concept.

It's very hard to get
your mind around it.

Maybe you're not a slug,
but I don't know, you use all those big buzz words.

It's just a big cover
for any kind of behavior.

Look, you punch somebody
in the stomach.

You can say that you're
coming from your feelings

or you're trying to
connect with the now,

but there's still somebody
laying on the sidewalk holding a big hurt.

Yeah, I wanted her to be
like everybody else in this town.

Protected, you know
what I mean, with layers and layers of scars

and fangs of her own.

Somebody who's lived
in a bubble all her life? Come on.

I know, I know, I know.

That's what
attracted me to her.

I mean, she's a princess,

but you know what
she wanted to do?

I mean she didn't want
to boogie down at Pip's

or make the big entrance
at Ma Maison. Oh, no, no, no.

She wanted to see
the La Brea Tar Pits.

I mean, she wanted to
squeeze fruit down at the Grand Central Market.

Now wait a minute.
I spent one whole afternoon at MacArthur Park rowing.

In a boat! Me! Rowing!

Like some cornball
from East Tree Stump!

Where were you
from originally?

East Claverack.
Upstate New York.

Well, you just be
straight with her, Sean.

That's all you can do now.
Come on, let's go.

I want to,
but, God, it's hard.

May we come in?

Hit it.

Look, Khedra,

I've told you all this
before. What I did was wrong, I know.

And I know how hard
this must be for you.

I know it's very
difficult for you to express yourself fully

to male figures.

I know that you'd
rather cast yourself in the victim's role

and it's easier
for me to let you do that, you know.

But what I really want
you to do is I want you to take up your space,

I want you to
get to your guts,

and then I want you to give
to me everything you think I got coming to me.

Wait, wait...
Wait a second... Hey!

Ow! Ow! Ow!
All right, all right!

Easy, easy, easy.
Easy now, easy, easy.

Sit down, sit down.
Sit down.

Can you sit down?

You look so miserable.

I was hoping you
would look that way.

But now it does not
pleasure me.

Mrs. Aziz, I know
you've been through the mill,

but Sean and I
are in some trouble.

Well, and I believe that
you're in some trouble, too,

even though you
may not know it.

There will be
no more trouble.

Pardon?

Oh, you shouldn't have
phoned your brother! You just...

You just shouldn't
go back with him.

Concepcion,
my husband is dead,

my family is divided apart.

It has to stop.

What does?

What? Do you know who
killed your husband?

No.

The last time
I speak to Aziz was two days ago.

I called him in Europe
because I thought it proper

I should try to
go back to him.

As his unfaithful wife,

I felt terrible guilt
and shame.

But he figured out how
Sean and Cy Margulies had tricked us.

I hear him get so angry.

He say terrible things
about Sean and Cy Margulies.

That's all,
he was very angry.

He not care
if I come back.

Is that your family
that's staying at the Bellagio Hotel?

Ishaq, what are you doing?

Go to the car, Khedra.

And you two, come also
with your hands in the open.

You said father understood!

You said you
would talk to him!

Khedra, the family council
is convening and you must appear before them.

You two will be
giving testimony.

Your Mr. Cy Margulies
has already been picked up at his tennis club.

Now move silently
into the street and into the white car.

Khedra, daughter of mine,

the charge against you
is that you let yourself be bedded

by one man
when you were married to another.

The family of your husband,
Mohamed Aziz,

has demanded that
this be examined.

If it is true,
and if you are not insane

or sick in some way,
then I and your brother

must see to it that
you are punished.

Death is punishment
for such thing.

These are old things,
old ways.

But the family of
Mohamed Farhud Aziz has demanded,

and it is not for us
to deny them for we hold all shame.

I do not deny
what I did, Father,

but I beg for
your understanding.

I love Sean.

Now is not your time
to speak.

Before your uncles
and your cousins,

before these men,
testimony will be heard.

Now is time for
Amad Hibshi to speak.

Sean Innes?

Were you intimate
with this woman, Khedra Aziz?

No.

Don't lie for me, Sean.

It will do none
of us any good.

I am already dead.

This is just a formality,

a game for old men

and little boys.

Be quiet!

Some values you have
learned in this United States.

We should never
have let you come!

You, I suppose, are
Seymour Margulies?

I hope you're joking.
I'm Rockford.

Seymour Margulies.

Yes?

We understand
the woman Khedra Aziz has been tricked.

How was that done
and why?

I... I don't quite know
what you mean.

However, let me say this,
regardless of how your family dispute is resolved,

we're all businessmen.

Now, my company is
an independent concern

located solely
in Beverly Hills for some 11 years.

Now I know that people
from your part of the world are very interested

in acquiring real property
right here in the Hills,

like this store.

Make your point!

Well,

I say that let's not
look at this as the end of something,

let us look at it
as a beginning. I say...

Answer the question!

My daughter's disgrace
was part of a cheap real estate swindle, true?

I wish I could say
it were cheap, sir.

Actually, there were several
million dollars involved.

It's a sad commentary
on the housing situation in Southern California.

You are not
on trial here.

But perhaps we can
devise a way to deal with you.

You are not on trial
here either, Innes.

But tell us now
about another harm that was done.

Did you murder
Sheik Mohamed Farhud Aziz?

No.
Liar!

I did not.

He soiled
the man's wife, you see.

And as always happens
in these animal situations,

the husband became the rival,

and when he tried to
avenge himself the hurt that was done to him,

this dog, this pimp,
he murdered him and ran.

I'd like to say something...

It is not your place
to speak unless you are spoken to.

What do I get
for contempt of court? A bug down my shirt?

You want my opinion as
a professional investigator?

I think that when Aziz
figured out this divorce scam, he lost control.

Who'd blame him, huh?

He got Cy to come
over to the house,

and then he was going to lock
the door and let old Cy have it with an arrow.

Now just a second here.

I think this whole thing
just is stupid.

And this is grounds
for slander, buster. Don't you forget that.

Maybe you didn't
mean to kill him.

But he had you
trapped in that room.

And who wants to die
looking like an extra in Fort Apache?

Is this true?

I didn't mean to kill him.
That's the truth!

But there was
no negotiating.

You see, he... Well,
there was this figurine.

I grabbed it.
And then...

Oh, Lord.

Does anyone have
anything else to ask?

No? Then vote, all of you.

Khedra, your family,

except for one,

your family feels
you did what you did deliberately.

And wrongly.

Not my family,
the men in my family.

You were used and fooled
in the worst way.

But you had
your conscience,

you had your faith as
your strength if you wanted to use them.

Now I and your brother

must see to it
that you are punished.

Khedra,
we will be gentle to you.

Father, please,
this is crazy. I am your daughter.

Father, she's right.
I know the council has voted,

but we can lie to
the Aziz family, tell them... Tell them it's been done.

Or we can stand up to them
and tell them the truth.

Ishaq, this makes me
sick at heart, too, you must know this!

But we cannot stand up.

We are men
stooped over with shame.

You guys are something else.
You really are.

Mr. Rockford,
if you have something to say

which might lighten
the punishment for this girl of mine, say it.

Girl of yours?

This girl of yours...
You're about to blow her head off

for cheating on her husband?

A guy who was
running around sleeping with starlets,

making her look like
a clown?

No one expects you
to understand.

These are things
which go way back.

Our family and
the family Aziz had nothing but our women.

And a few camels.

Family?
You're not a family.

A family is supposed to
support their people when they make a mistake.

I know you come
from a different culture, but you're here now.

I hate to bring you
the news, but as you gain something,

you also lose some things.

But I have my code!

That's all any man
ever really has.

Although, apparently,
my son does not.

She must be dealt with.
But at home, where she was born,

not here in a strange country.

Oh, don't go poetic on us.
You mean not here in this country

where they're going to
haul you in for murder one.

Listen, Mr. Al-Nouss,
I wish you wouldn't do this.

Look, I don't know
what to say to get through to you.

Obviously, you don't
need money. Then say nothing.

Father?

Are you all right?
I'm fine.

It's the angina.
I don't think we should take off.

We must, we must.
Where is pills?

Somebody, get some water.
Quick!

What's the matter, pal?
Think I'm hiding a machine gun or something?

I will be fine
after we take off.

No, Father, I don't think
we should take off.

Tell him to go.
Tell him to go.

You hear a noise
and this plane is still on the ground,

you grab Khedra,
start screaming and head for the front exit.

Just do it.

Private NC
four-zero-niner,

you have
Republic 402 landing in front of you. He's a heavy jet.

Private four-zero-niner, you
can proceed to runway three and prepare for takeoff.

Fire! Fire! Go, go, go!
Fire! Fire!

We're on fire!

Come on, come on!
This whole thing's gonna blow!

No, Hasan, no!

Get under the plane!

Let's go, Father.
Let's go.

You know, it's ironic,
Jim, but I remember

talking once to Cy about
a logo for his company.

He was seriously
considering using a bow and arrow.

Well, what's that
got to do with real estate?

Nothing.

Oh, here. We were
talking and we'd like you to have this.

For appreciation
and for everything you've done.

Forget it, forget it.
Let's just let it slip into history.

As long as we all
still have our own teeth.

No, please take it.

It's my money and
you can see I very well can afford it.

Well, what's
the point of having teeth

unless you can
buy something nice to chew on?

I... I don't know
what to say.
