Can you speak?

Why not?

Would you like to tell me your story now?

Do you have a cigarette?

Can you smoke?

Why not?

Don't be alarmed by his nonchalance,

...Dr. Allende is the best surgeon in surgeon in Puerto Rosario.

I would wait, but I need to know, Mr. Cormack. to know, Mr. Cormack.

Where do I start?

Wherever you want.

Let's see...

I remember when I first met Jeannie, Janet,

...was a girl from the neighborhood, sweet...

...and helpless.

I had finished my service and was studying law.

I thought I would always I would like to.

But that was a long time ago.

I'll start with Las Vegas last Friday night.

Hard to believe it was last Friday.

There was a lot of animation,

...as it usually happens at the beginning of the weekends.

I was where I always am, hanging around the casino...

... "The Blue Diamond".

Table number 12.

Don't think I'm drunk, I recognize a rigged roulette wheel...

...as soon as you see it. It is impossible that it comes out double 0 twice in a row.

Don't shout, sir.

What do you mean I don't scream?

When they tease me, I'm not in the mood to whisper.

We will fix it without discussion, sir.

- What do you care? - I'm special security, sir.

As far as I'm concerned, this has nothing to do with you. has nothing to do with you.

The roulette wheel is rigged.

The roulette wheels are inspected by the State, sir.

Is it? Well, I say it's rigged.

I want to recover the $50 dollars I lost.

And if not?

I will make a big fuss so that everyone knows about it.

Listen everyone...!

- Mr. Cormack. - What?

- Excuse me. - Thank you, Jimmy.

Mr. Cormack.

Yes?

Mr. Barzland would like to see you.

Mr. Barzland? Who is that?

This way, please.

You have brought him. Good.

Mr. Cormack, I would like to have a short conversation with you. a short conversation with you.

About what?

Would $5,000 be a good topic to have a conversation about?

- That figure does not offend me. - Very good, but very good.

I think we will understand each other. Lawrence.

Well, Mr. Cormack. I've managed to get your attention by talking to you...

...of the $5,000. $5,000 that you may be able to earn.

- I listen carefully. - So, shall we proceed?

A peanut? - No, thank you.

My proposal will be preceded a little story...

...which I suppose you find interesting.

Have you heard of a place in the the Caribbean called Puerto Rosario?

Vaguely.

I have some partners there who owe me owe me a large sum of money.

Instead of paying me, we agreed that I would be they were going to send me in exchange...

...a valuable ruby that they had in their possession.

My partners, they decided to send the ruby in a private plane belonging to...

...to some people from Puerto Rosario who had already made for them...

...similar missions.

My partners handed them the ruby. Then, on the eve of the departure,

...the plane was involved in an accident, it was wrecked and unfortunately...

...the ruby vanished without a trace. no trace.

Do you think the owners of the plane stole it?

Without the slightest doubt.

This is the proposal I make to you:

That you go to Puerto Rosario, gain the trust of the suspects...

...and locate the ruby. For that, I will give you $5,000.

One thousand right now and four thousand when the mission is accomplished.

It seems very simple.

But how do you intend to you to comply with it?

Oh, it won't be too difficult.

One of the owners of the aircraft is Eduardo Martin.

And I have been told that a long time ago, you knew your wife very well.

Janet.

You should not be offended, Mr. Cormack.

Did you think I chose you because of the cut of your jacket?

This dossier has cost me a lot of research time...

...and a lot of money.

It is the complete story of his life.

I am beginning to understand.

Until two years ago, the subject Mike Cormack was an assistant...

...of the Los Angeles District of Los Angeles.

He was engaged for three years to Janet Earsquine.

She was waiting for a promotion to get married.

Everything was there.

How he met that heartthrob pilot heartthrob, Eduardo Martin.

How he took her away, they left and I never saw her again.

He must not have known he was making money as a smuggler for guys like Barzland.

He didn't even... He didn't even leave me a note.

Perhaps it was love that made her so forgetful.

Anyway... Thank you.

Then I started to get drunk.

Seven months of alcoholic oblivion.

Finally, a friend of mine brought me to Las Vegas and got me a job...

...as a high-class bully.

He beat me...

...life.

I was beginning to feel human when Barzland appeared.

For the last four months worked at the club "El Diamante Azul"...

...as a special security agent agent.

Salary, 87 with... - 87.50 per week. You know all about it.

Do you understand why I decided that I could persuade you?

Of course. Because of my relationship with Janet Martin!

He thinks I'll be able to get him where the ruby is.

And since you abandoned me once, you suppose I'm going to enjoy...

...taking revenge on her.

And earn $5,000.

I can't stand prison food, it gives me allergies.

He is not going to do anything illegal, Mr. Cormack.

I only ask you to find the ruby and then report back to me.

We ask nothing more of you.

- I get it. - Is it a deal?

I should have run away.

But as soon as he mentioned Janet, I knew he was going to accept her proposal.

I had to see her again to free me from my bitterness.

To be tied. That's what I told myself.

And without realizing it, I found myself flying on my way to Puerto Rosario...

...with very specific instructions.

He had even booked my hotel for me.

It looked like a pleasure trip.

He advised me to ask for an outside room.

From the living room, the brochure said, I could enjoy...

...of the view of the cliff, of the sea and the islands.

And it was very close to the lively town square.

- Hey, kid, come here. - Yes, sir.

Cool, huh? - Yeah, great. What is it?

A convention. The association of electronic musical instruments.

- Yeah, what do they sell? - Jukeboxes.

- Disc machines? - They are very popular in Puerto Rosario.

- Do you have to put them in at the same time? - They are the new models.

One starts, and the other has to quickly quickly show his.

Great! - Hey, come back, come back.

Yes, sir?

Are there Americans in Puerto Rosario?

About fifteen or twenty.

Do you know the Martins?

- Yes, we do. - Do you know his address?

Yes.

See the road? Look up. There, at the top.

Right on the edge. Over the sea.

The great white house.

- The Martin house, huh? - Yes, it is.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir. Your key.

Don't forget, my name is Lalo.

Yes, he asked for Mrs. Martin.

He registered right away. His name is Cormack.

Mike Cormack.

C O R M A C K

Cormack. Yes, I got it.

No, it is not necessary. Be alert.

Good, Lalo.

I didn't want to see Janet right away.

I thought that the encounter should be casual, accidental.

Puerto Rosario is not very big, and if I behaved like a tourist,

...I was destined to meet her.

So I behaved like a tourist.

Don't worry, I will explain it to you.

It means that it fits more than than a hundred discs, sir.

It is a wonderful machine.

Sir, I just want to show you the latest model.

Take a good look!

This machine has more lights than any of the others.

Sensational, isn't it? - Sensational, yes.

Sir! The Imperial.

It is the best machine in all of South America.

Sir, if you have little room or a lot of room, this machine...

...fits anywhere.

Sir, the best of all. The National.

- Sir, listen well... - Enough, enough!

Enough!

I'm just looking.

Sir, sir, take a look. It's the best machine.

Is he a sorcerer?

No, thank you, it's very nice.

A wallet, sir?

- It is beautiful. - Yes.

- Do you make them? - Yes, yes, sir.

In the morning I make them and in the afternoon I sell them.

- Good job, how much does it cost? - 35 cents.

- Very reasonable. - Yes, yes.

- They are good gifts. - Yes, they are.

- How much for all? - For all?

If you want them all, 50 each.

50 cents?

I don't understand, so you you all want more?

Sir!

If I sell them one by one, I'm busy all day, right?

Yes.

If I sell them all at once, I can go back home to my wife. go back home to my wife,

...right now, right? - I guess.

You see? I prefer to sell them one at a time.

I understand. Look...

I am at the Hotel Rosario. Bring me a wallet every day.

This way we will solve both problems problems, right?

Thank you, sir, thank you.

Janet!

Janet Martín.

Mike!

Janet!

Janet, wait!

The lady does not know you, please do not follow her.

Janet dodged me at the market.

I still hadn't decided which card to play card to play, when suddenly...

...they snatched the deck of cards from my hands.

- Mr. Cormack? - That's my name.

- The lady wants to see you. - I thought you didn't know me.

I will take you, sir.

Go ahead, it can happen.

Please wait.

I won't need you anymore tonight, Miguel.

Well, Jeannie.

Mike!

Mike, good to see you.

This afternoon at the market, I don't know, all of a sudden,

...I remembered everything about us and I got dizzy.

I understand.

I felt a little guilty.

I was terrible to you and... - Oh, forget it.

I was a little angry.

Well, more than angry, I wanted to strangle you.

But then, seeing what Eduardo offered you, wealth, luxury...

...and all that and I didn't do anything, I thought that anyone could have done it.

By the way, where is Eduardo?

Oh, I don't know what's wrong with me.

You've been here five minutes and I haven't offered you a drink.

- No, thank you. - You don't drink?

A slice of lemon and soda, if you have it.

I will have a drink.

I need it. You have appeared so suddenly.

- It's funny, isn't it? - What's funny?

I never used to drink, remember?

And you, Mike Cormack, who drank like nobody's business like nobody's business, now you drink soda.

It's funny.

Well, times have changed.

And people too.

- You asked about Eduardo. - Yes, I did.

He is not here, he is in jail.

- What has he done? - Nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Mike,

...about 20 km away there is an island, sometimes you can see a light.

I can't see anything.

Well, there it is, in the prison.

Convicted of a crime he did not commit.

What a pity.

What is the sentence?

Perpetual.

Do you want to talk about it?

The first few months were wonderful. He was kind, sweet, gave me what I wanted.

He seemed to have a lot of money.

What did he do for a living?

He and another partner had two cargo planes.

Six months ago, Eddie had a run of bad luck. a run of bad luck.

I told him to sell the house, my furs, everything, but...

...no. With Eddie, everything had to be had to be top notch.

I know the story.

Well, he sold one plane and mortgaged the other.

A man named Emilio Fernandez mortgaged it to him.

When Eddie could not pay, Fernandez threatened to threatened to take the plane away from him.

Eddie needed it for an important an important transfer.

And one night when he was with Fernández in a bar, he swore to kill him...

...if I took the plane away from him, in front of several witnesses.

It was clumsy.

Thank you. I had been drinking.

So Fernandez went to the airport the next day...

...to take the plane and go to another city... to another city, soared...

...50 meters off the ground and crashed.

Fernandez died.

And the court proved that they had tampered with the gas tank.

And then they directly accused your husband, right?

It was a fluke, Mike. Eddie is innocent, I'm sure.

He will die on that island, hellish and creepy.

He is now ill.

How do you survive, Jeannie?

I don't have a lot of money, but I wish I could help you.

Mike, Mike, you embarrass me. After the way I treated you...

You can forget it. I did.

I am doing well for now.

I haven't stopped talking about me and I haven't even asked you...

...what brings you to Puerto Rosario?

I came here to fish, nothing more.

Oh, I didn't know you were a fisherman.

There's a lot you don't know about me, Jeannie. you don't know about me, Jeannie.

Yes.

I guess there were other women when you were making love to me.

Sure, I thought you knew that.

I caught my first fish.

What were you doing, preparing some canapés?

Let him go, Mike!

Mr. Cormack is a friend, Miguel.

Go to bed.

Miguel is the guard's son. He takes good care of me.

It is obvious.

I am glad you are here.

Since Fernandez died, his family wants revenge.

They think it was my fault.

I'm scared, Mike.

I hope you're exaggerating, Jeannie.

You always had a great imagination.

I'm leaving, otherwise the neighbors will start whispering.

Mike!

Do you have to leave? - I'll see you around.

- I hope so. - I hope so.

Mike.

Yes?

It doesn't matter. Will we see each other?

Of course.

I should have taken the hint about his bad luck with Eduardo.

This was not the case.

I felt sorry for him.

I knew he wasn't telling me the whole truth.

But I didn't think it was smart to tell him about the ruby.

Not yet.

I rented a car in Puerto Rosario which its owner called "La Belleza".

I trusted "Beauty" to take me to the airport... would take me to the airport...

...where I could find out more about Eduardo's accident.

I found out that Eduardo, from time to time, employed a mechanic.., employed a mechanic...

...named Carlos Peñasco.

I went in "La Belleza" to Carlos' hut, near the airport.

I want to talk to Carlos Peñasco.

Excuse me, my Spanish is not very good, do you speak English?

Ricardo.

Ricardo!

What do you want?

Carlos Peñasco, the mechanic, I want to talk to him.

What do you want to talk about?

Of the plane crash in which Fernandez died. Fernandez died.

Carlos knows nothing.

Ask him if he ever mentioned anything about a ruby.

About what?

About a ruby. A gem, a precious stone.

Ah, a ruby.

I want to talk to him,

...and could earn some money.

About an hour ago, he took his fighting cock and left.

You can find him at cockfighting.

Thank you.

By the way, who makes them?

Carlos, when there is no work at the airport.

We sell it on the market.

They are beautiful.

If "Beauty" had not stopped,

...I wouldn't have known how angry the old lady was with Ricardo.

Evidently, from what he told me.

When the boy went to town, I couldn't follow him because it was cross-country.

And furthermore, the sleeping "beauty, refused to wake up.

I had no trouble finding the fight.

And neither did Carlos Peñasco.

Apparently, his rooster was the undefeated champion champion of Puerto Rosario.

And Carlos, a celebrity.

- Are you Carlos Peñasco? - Yes, sir, I am Carlos.

- I want to talk to you. - There is nothing to talk about, sir.

My little Napoleon is going to win the fight.

So you can bet whatever you want without worrying.

One stab with his little sword and that's it.

- I want to talk business. - Business, what kind of business?

- You can earn a lot of money. - A lot of money!

Wait, I'll see you after the fight.

The time has come. Bet on Napoleon and you will see how he wins.

Wait for me here. - Very well.

Mr. Cormack!

A good night, right? - Great night.

What happened to the lights?

- What did he say? - What do you think?

That's what I was saying.

Mr. Cormack, Captain Pena.

- Sorry to bother a tourist. - Not at all.

It is exhausting to interrogate all the those attending the fight.

Thank you.

It is very rare.

A most unusual weapon. Wouldn't you agree?

What is it?

In my profession I have seen many kinds of weapons.

Guns, knives, ingenious traps,

...but never this.

It is a steel spur.

Sometimes he hooks himself to the spur of the fighting cock to...

...to kill more vigorously.

Do you want a light? Excuse me, sir.

Thank you.

Captain, I have something to tell you:

This afternoon I went to Peñasco's house.

I already knew that. I'm glad you told me.

Shall we cut to the chase, Mr. Cormack? - Of course we are.

Arrived at Puerto Rosario,

...went to see Carlos Peñasco this afternoon,

...spoke with Carlos Peñasco tonight,

...and a few minutes later, Carlos Peñasco dies.

Do you want to tell me why you went to see that man?

- I went for a customer. - A client?

Yes, I am a lawyer, you can check it out at the California bar.

Go on, your customer?

Mrs. Martin. - Ah.

I wanted Peñasco to tell me something about Fernandez's accident.

With what intention?

Reopen the case if possible.

Mrs. Martin thinks her husband got off lightly.

- Badly? - He believes he is innocent.

Innocent...

I have always found Ms. Martin very interesting.

Now it fascinates me.

I suppose you think your husband husband had an unfair trial.

Possibly.

In my entire career as a criminologist, I have never met a person...

...so not very innocent.

Twenty witnesses heard Eduardo Martín death threats against Fernández...

...if he took the plane. Fernandez takes it and ends up dead.

Fernandez was a very wealthy man.

Perhaps he had enemies who took advantage of Martin's unfortunate threat.

Maybe so, but I don't think so.

I have no doubt because I myself arrested Eduardo Martin.

We set a trap for him and he fell.

He returned to the scene of the accident while it still smelled of burning flesh. still smelled of burning flesh.

He tried to fix the tank again so that it would not be discovered...

...the cause of the accident.

Is it typical of an innocent person?

I didn't know that.

It is in this folder. If you want, you can see it.

Sorry for my lack of information.

If you reopen Martin's case, it will be at your own risk.

However, I must inform you that there is other evidence against Martin...

...that would be even more detrimental to him.

The aircraft was used several times to transport illegal transporting illegal merchandise.

- Are you talking about smuggling? - Yes.

We never managed to catch him.

Mrs. Martin has undoubtedly been advised by Paul Armand. Paul Armand's advice.

Yes, no doubt he was advised by Paul Armand. Paul Armand.

Tell him from me that he is a fool, absolutely ridiculous.

Is that all? I am referring to Peñasco.

For the time being, yes.

I guess you won't be leaving from Puerto Rosario.

Of course.

I had so many possibilities to leave from Puerto Rosario...

...as to get a plenary session. For three reasons.

Second, I wanted to know what I had I had to do with Carlos' murder.

Third, I wanted to earn the $5,000 that Barzland offered me. 5,000 that Barzland offered me.

And I wanted to see Janet again.

That was the first and most important.

But first I wanted to find out something about Paul Armand, of which Peña...

...had spoken to me.

I'd like to see Pete a little closer.

- Pete? - Yes, the little guy in the window.

I don't know what it is, but his face rings a bell.

- It's a lot of fun, isn't it? - Yes, it is.

He and his brothers are all over the town.

No, not this one. This statuette is of pre-Columbian origin.

Fresh from the ruins.

Well, he looks like his siblings.

Can you tell me where you have seen your siblings?

In a market stall and at Mrs. Martín's house. of Mrs. Martin.

You must be Michael Cormack.

I didn't know he was famous.

I am Paul Armand.

Eduardo and I were partners in the airplane business.

Mrs. Martin, Janet, is a very good friend.

It so happens that this very afternoon evening he told me about you.

- Well, I hope so. - Mrs. Martin has very strange tastes.

If he says he is your friend, it will be because he is worthy of your friendship.

You were very close to your husband, wasn't he?

As siblings.

Do you believe you were at fault for the accident?

Why are you asking me if Eduardo was at fault for the accident?

Janet doesn't believe it.

I was not an eyewitness and I agree with her.

Why?

For his personality.

He was a spoiled child.

He bragged, talked a lot, even threatened.

But he never acted.

Eduardo is incapable to kill anyone.

No, thank you.

He seems very convinced.

I lived with him before he got married, we were like brothers,

...looks a lot like me.

In what way?

Verbally, I am a lion, philosophically, I don't waver,

...but when the time comes to act,

...Eduardo is just like me, he couldn't kill Fernandez.

And why did you return to the scene of the accident and tried to hide...

...who tampered with the tank?

He did not disclose it to me.

I do not know.

That doesn't bode well for me.

If you could shed new light on the case, perhaps I...

...I could reopen it. - I wish I could.

Are you interested in semi-precious semi-precious stones?

The semi-precious ones, no.

But if I had rubies... - Rubies?

I'm afraid not, too expensive for my modest store.

Like Janet, you are also a person of odd tastes.

Thank you.

Mr.

If you want, you can speak from there.

Hi, Janet. Mike.

I'm glad you got my message. I must see you.

In an hour? How about the Rosalbas?

It is a restaurant near the square.

I will be there.

Mike, honey.

I made a terrible mistake. I miss you very much.

- Janet... - No, no.

Don't stop me, I want to tell you.

I should have left Ed, gone home.

And ask you to forgive me if you could.

But I don't have that kind of courage.

Excuse me, sir.

Do you want us to sing songs of love for the lady?

Sure, go ahead.

- What's this all about? - We don't play for this woman.

What do you mean by "this woman"?

For a woman like her, we don't touch.

- What's this all about? - Please, Mike, let's go.

Shall I take you home?

To yours.

Here.

Thank you.

What was wrong with that guy?

It's nothing new. Everyone blames me for Fernandez's death.

- Why? - I don't know.

He was a very popular man.

Thank you.

From a very prominent family.

It's been difficult, Mike.

- Why don't you leave? - I can't.

Eddie is in jail.

I couldn't do that.

You say you don't love him.

Mike, help me. You are the only one capable.

- How? - Get him off the island.

Help him escape.

Easy, little one.

As long as I remain in jail, I will never be free.

Mike, help him escape, please.

You can do it.

Once free,

...I will do whatever you want.

You're lying, Jeannie.

No, Mike.

Eddie is guilty and you know it.

No!

Enough lies!

If you are honest, maybe I can help you.

Why didn't you tell me that Peña caught him in the act?

Why did he confess? Because he is innocent?

Mike, he is innocent.

He did not tamper with the tank.

It was me.

Repeat that!

- It was me, I didn't want to... - What do you know about gas tanks?

He taught me all about airplanes.

There was enough gas in the tank in the tank to take off.

What difference does it make how Fernandez was killed? Fernandez was killed? It was me!

Why, Jeannie, why?

I don't know. Eddie was in in trouble and I panicked.

I could not live like this with a man I had stopped loving.

Fernandez was going to take away his plane, so...

...I tried to stop him. To buy time until Eddie got some money.

So you killed him.

This was not my intention. I just wanted to prevent the plane from taking off.

Eddie found out about it, went to cover for you and fell into Peña's trap.

I wanted to avoid it, but Eddie said that he would never be convicted.

Do you understand now why I can't stand the idea of seeing him imprisoned...

...for something I did?

- Where are you going? - To see Captain Peña, I want to...

No, you're not going to do that.

I wouldn't believe you.

I don't want to see you on that island of hell...

...now that I can embrace you.

Mike, then you will help me.

I have a plan.

It will work.

I'm going to make you a proposition, Jennie.

Good.

I will listen to you. I will help you escape.

But you will also have to help me.

Tell me everything you know about the ruby.

- From the ruby? - Yes!

Where is it? Who has it?

Be honest. - You too!

That is why you have come to Puerto Rosario.

In part, mainly because there was you. there was you.

- Tell me what you know. - I don't want to know anything about that ruby.

I was chased by the police, Paul and now you.

I know nothing about that ruby, absolutely nothing.

Nothing, can you hear me? - Yes, I hear you.

I can't do it anymore. I just want to see Eddie free so I can sleep.

Easy, easy.

- Can you tell me the truth now? - I wish I could.

I left her there and went up the hill.

It was the opportunity to look for the ruby.

I parked near the house.

It was very easy to climb a tree next to the terrace and go inside.

But someone had beaten me to it.

And by the looks of the house, if he had not found the ruby,

...I'm sure I wouldn't find it.

I left in a hurry.

But not enough.

It took me a while to wake up.

I felt like I was being taken somewhere.

When I opened my eyes,

...it was as if I had had my head squeezed my head with a giant nutcracker.

A man in a wheelchair.

Were you talking to me, Mr. Cormack?

I am glad you have recovered.

Our host has some interesting pets, don't you think?

Johan, this is your partner, Mr. Mike Cormack.

Mr. Tormick is an old and and accommodating friend.

Above.

Now, let's talk about ruby?

Don't even think about it.

If he wanted to talk to me, he didn't have to beat me, kidnap me.

I doubt that he would would be willing to talk.

Do you doubt it? I thought he worked for you.

And us.

But that woman bought him with money or maybe with...

...its attractions.

That's why you hired me, isn't it?

Because I could get close to her.

Friend, you can't escape, it is evident that you have gone overboard,

Why else would the woman and her dear friend friend Armand were going to rent a boat?

...and provision it for a long long journey?

What have you thought of doing with the ruby?

I don't know anything about a boat. I'm beginning to think he's crazy.

There was no point in killing the boy, he didn't know about the ruby, did he?

You are a very reckless young man.

We made a Barzland deal, a business deal.

It was an investigation, he did not talk about killing anyone.

- Wait a minute... - I know you killed the boy.

I still haven't figured out his role in the Peñasco murder...

...but I will find out.

Until then, stick it in your in your head.

If you think I have anything to do with that ruby...

I don't like your attitude. Not in the least.

Johan!

I suppose you have heard our conversation.

Yes, I have heard.

We have to convince this young man.

Well, Mr. Cormack, where is that ruby?

Barzland, we need to talk!

When I got out of there, I was a wreck.

I had to play fast if I didn't want to see myself locked up on that island...

...with Eduardo for the rest of my days.

Rosalba 347

Janet? Mike. I need to see you right away.

He misled me by telling me that I was going to pick up a lamp...

...to Armand's store.

It took me a moment to understand.

The police were there and I couldn't talk.

The only thing I could understand was that I wanted to meet Armand later.

- The store is closed. - Out of the way!

Mr. Cormack, all the stores are closed during the siesta.

Paul doesn't want me to see you, he thinks you're dangerous.

For you or for him? What do you think?

I think he is jealous.

- But Janet... - Shut up!

Do I speak in front of him or not?

- About what? - About you, Eduardo...

...and a boy named Miguel who was killed last night.

What do you know about Miguel? Where did you go last night, Mike?

Fishing, what about Miguel? Speak up!

It was terrible, someone came in to rob me, I don't know what they expected to find.

You're lying, they were looking for the ruby!

I have already told you that I don't know anything about the ruby...

You lie, you don't stop lying!

Don't talk to him like that!

Mike, no, please!

I have been kidnapped, hit on the head head and linked to 3 murders.

I assure you that I will find out why.

- Mike, you don't think we've got something... - Speak up.

I am tired of hearing lies.

Mike, I didn't want to tell you anything so as not to involve you.

There is no reason for you to be angry.

Come on, speak up!

And if I refuse to tell you, what will you do?

I will report you to Peña.

- Would you do that to me? - Yes.

- Mike, last night you offered me a deal. - What deal?

That if I told you about the ruby, you would help Eduardo escape.

Agreed.

I accept the deal.

Mike, mike, you better sit down, please.

Give me a cup of coffee.

Paul, bring a cup of coffee.

- What is the plan? - There is no plan.

He's a good friend of mine, and Eddie's....

Don't be fooled!

- Really! - Peña is about to arrive.

- I'll tell you what I know. - Speak up!

It is a very large ruby, uncut, virgin.

It belongs to an ancient civilization.

Where did it come from?

From one guy, Tormick.

Why?

- I beg your pardon? - Go on, speak.

Well, Tormick offered him, Paul and Eddie ten thousand dollars...

...if they took the ruby to the United States and delivered it to a certain Barzland.

¿10.000? It must be worth twenty times more.

That's why I needed Eddie to have his plane.

If he managed to earn that $10,000 dollars, he could recover...

- Where is the ruby now? - I really don't know.

Eddie must have hidden it on the plane the night night before leaving for the United States.

But we couldn't get close to the plane.

Paul thinks Eddie must have hidden it somewhere...

...before Peña detained him.

Why didn't that come out in the trial?

Eddie wouldn't tell us Paul or me.

He hopes to recover the ruby when he leaves the island.

That's why you want me to escape from there.

Mike, I will never lie to you again.

You mean a lot to me.

Tell me how much.

If Eddie knows where the ruby is, we look forward to sharing it.

That's true, but that's not important.

I want to get it out of my head. Oh, Mike...

I wish we could forget this nightmare this nightmare and go home.

Here is the coffee.

No one makes coffee as well as Paul.

Yes, I see, it makes good coffee.

- You had a plan for Eduardo, didn't you? - That's right, we have it all planned.

All right, speak up.

- Janet, is it convenient...? - Could you do it without him?

No.

Tell him the plan.

His plan was elaborate enough to work. elaborate enough to work.

Paul designed it thanks to an ex-convict who spent years on the island. who spent years on the island.

It wasn't like going to Alcatraz, it was a prison that wasn't heavily guarded...

...with a wire fence around it. around.

The greatest risk was to return to the mainland without...

...we will not be stopped by any state-owned ship.

And that is all.

Let's go over it again and see if I have I have understood it correctly.

According to Eduardo's letters, he is in the infirmary.

Right here.

I arrive at the beach, open the gate, I enter the infirmary...

...and we're out of here. - Right.

We put him on the boat, we go to the South where your friend picks him up with his boat...

...and crossed the border.

We would have done it alone, but neither Paul and I don't know how to steer the ship.

What about the equipment, the boat and the rest?

I have had it for a long time to avoid Peña's suspicions.

Well, call your friend and tell him that tonight.

- Tonight? - Tonight or never.

If Peña stops me, we can say goodbye.

But with so little time...

If you say tonight, Paul, it's tonight.

Help me, Paul.

I hope you have spoken to...

With the captain of the other ship.

He will be waiting for us at Cape San Dimas.

Okay, don't come any closer. If it drifts, drop anchor.

If you hear gunshots on the beach, come quickly to pick us up.

Understood.

What do you think of this?

Honestly, I am terrified of this whole adventure.

That makes two of us.

I'm sorry I treated you so badly. - That's all right.

I hope Eduardo makes it back.

- Do you think Eduardo will suspect anything? - I don't think so.

Perhaps he refuses to tell us where the ruby is.

And I am repulsed by violence.

Leave it to me. I promised you half the money, didn't I?

You promised me so much more, my dear.

I hope Cormack doesn't make you change your mind.

You choose the worst time to make love.

Start the engine, Paul.

The engine?

Start the engine and let's go to the mainland.

If we are not there when they leave the island they will be killed.

Start the engine or I will have have to do it myself.

Janet, I don't understand.

Poor Paul.

If you don't understand now, you never will.

What do you want? Who are you?

My name is Cormack. We've met.

Right, Janet's friend, the assistant U.S. attorney.

I am no longer.

Mike Cormack.

Yes, she was in love with you still married to me.

He thought I had more fun. Fun, isn't it?

Laugh later, now we must go.

Janet is waiting for us on a boat.

Don't tell me he sent you to help me escape.

That's what you want, isn't it?

I didn't expect him to kill, at least not a second time.

He told me, I didn't want to kill Fernandez.

Oh, of course not, he wanted to kill me.

What?

What?

It seems to me that he has gone crazy.

Yes, too much time to think.

Hey, would you like a cigarette? - No, I don't.

Mr. Cormack, do you want to know how Fernandez really died? Fernandez really died?

I would like to hear your version, but some other time.

Thank you.

It is very nice to have the opportunity to talk to someone.

My loving wife, I knew I had to get on the plane before Fernandez did.

I also knew that I had a rush job.

Sure, deliver the ruby, I know.

Oh, I see you've told him.

But what he didn't tell you, is that he tampered with the tank...

...to kill me.

I had a problem with the car on the way to the airport,

...Fernandez arrived before me, took the plane and Puff!

Goodbye, Fernandez.

He is crazy. If you want him dead, why take him off the island?

What is it for? It's a delicious way of liquidating me.

I must be stupid.

Look, you are a lawyer, do you know the fugitive law?

- Leakage law? - Yes.

I'm safe and sound here, right?

Yes, I suppose so.

And I'm no good to him. But as soon as I escape, or try to,

...I am a good target.

Anybody can shoot me and kill me, do you understand?

Yes.

So, dear Mr. Cormack,

...I will not leave out of this room.

I don't want to be killed, even legally.

You are wrong, Janet is waiting for you.

Is that what you think?

Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't I wouldn't be here.

I'll bet you ten to one that he has abandoned you.

And what's more, I'll bet you that by now you've you will have already warned...

...anonymously to the authorities that Eduardo Martin plans to abscond tonight.

What a crazy idea.

If you don't believe me, go to the beach.

Not me, sir.

We would find a dozen guards with their guards with their finger on the trigger.

She is a very smart girl.

You know, if the guards didn't manage to kill me, I'd die anyway. kill me, I'd die anyway.

Why?

Because my friend, in this country the attempt to escape is punishable...

...with death. That is why very few people try it and there is little vigilance.

Why do you want him dead?

I'm glad you asked,

For one hundred thousand dollars. My life insurance.

The only value I have in this world.

Our Janet will stop at nothing nothing for so much money.

- You lie. - What?

She's lying!

If he knew, why did he get involved with her, why?

Love is a very curious drug, my friend.

And sometimes a gun.

It takes a long time to get it out of the blood.

I think you will be able to understand me.

Aha, the alarm! They think someone is trying to escape.

It's a pity we didn't bet.

Ten to one!

How nice! Have you come to tuck me in?

No! I was told... I'm going to get the sergeant.

Halt! Take me to your commander, I want to see him.

Let's go!

What a smart girl!

- Who is it? - Mike.

Let me in, hurry.

Get out of the way! I may have been followed.

Surprised to see me here?

Mike, thank goodness you were saved.

I don't owe it to you.

Oh, honey, if you knew what I've been through, you wouldn't talk to me like that. I've been through, you wouldn't talk to me like that.

Go ahead, I'm listening.

Paul was terrified of the plan.

And as soon as you left the boat, he wanted to come back.

- Why did you leave him? - Honey, I didn't leave him.

It was terrible, I struggled with it, I threw him overboard.

I could do nothing to prevent it. - It goes on.

Well, at that time,

...there were already several ships. I could not risk going back.

So Paul also died.

Oh, honey, thank goodness you're here.

Safe and sound.

That is another story.

I took Eduardo to the beach before they started shooting.

- Have you been killed? - Yes.

Arriving at the raft.

I was lucky,

...about three kilometers away, some fishermen fishermen picked me up and brought me back.

Poor Eddie.

Poor Eddie.

And poor Paul.

Mike...

Mike, you're here.

When will we collect the 100,000?

Insurance.

Eddie told me.

Honey, I love you.

All this and a hundred thousand more.

Well, you're counting on me, right? - Sure.

Oh, Mike, it's going to be wonderful, I have so many plans my head is spinning.

Shall we have a drink?

We must celebrate.

- Whiskey? - Make it a double.

- Mike, you give me goose bumps. - That's great!

Is it convenient? You haven't since you've had a drink.

I have started drinking again.

- My life, I want to clear things up. - What things?

Well, I have very clear the story of Eduardo and Paul,

...but about Carlos and Miguel I don't understand it.

Is it necessary?

I would like to.

Let's see if I'm on track:

Your servant Miguel killed Carlos, I know that.

The question is why?

Perhaps because Carlos knew where the ruby was.

When I went to her house and talked to the old lady,

...there was a boy with a bicycle, sent him somewhere very fast.

Maybe to tell you that someone was trying to talk to Carlos about the ruby.

It's your version, not mine.

Let's see,

...you were afraid that I wanted to blackmail Carlos.

You knew he needed money, and that's why Miguel killed him...

...before he spoke.

- You are very smart. - Yes, I am.

Mike, I told you, I don't know anything about the ruby.

But I still can't believe you.

I don't know what would happen if I reported you to the police.

Maybe they put a noose around your pretty neck.

How do you play these jokes on me? They're not funny at all.

I know, sweetheart.

But that's what I plan to do.

Mike, you won't be able to. You can't do it.

What a surprise right under my nose!

Now everything fits together. You took the ruby before you rigged the deposit.

Eddie dies and you stay the ruby and the insurance.

Mike, please, you have to...

You were afraid they would find it and you told Carlos to hide it...

...on this statue. - Yes!

I could not sell the ruby until it was taken out of the country.

I had no money to go out, so I needed the insurance.

You wanted both!

- Mike, that sounds so... - Crude, disgusting, repulsive?

Honey, I lied to you, I couldn't help it.

Sure, little girl. You were born a liar.

You cannot denounce me, you love me.

It may be.

I spent many sleepless nights, longing for you.

And I may pass them again.

Mike!

You can go in now, Captain!

I have the whole story.

And what's more, a little gift.

The virgin ruby!

It will return to its rightful place its rightful place.

I'll keep it.

The wait has been long and boring, Mr. Cormack.

But we were tied. Now I want the reward.

The ruby, please.

You'll have to take it, Barzland.

I don't want it to spoil.

Still, you'll have to take it.

As you wish, Mr. Cormack.

Lawrence.

That's the story, Capt, I've told you everything.

Trust me.

By the way, what am I accused of?

I doubt that we can accuse him of anything.

In addition, he has collaborated with justice.

Thank you.

And the ruby will be returned to the National Museum.

Thank you, Doctor.

- Thank you. - You are welcome.

It reminds me of someone I knew.

A happy man has the virtue of forgetting.
