I don't want to draw Attention to myself.

You do understand?

Of course.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Diane!

The thing sticking in you Is a gun.

Now, turn around. Do it, paxton.

You want to take a look At the license place?

Just relax, I'll drive.

Hey, hey, get me a policeman, Will you? And right away.

Paxton?

Hey, what happened?

Diane marco.

Someone just kidnapped her In a black mercedes.

Did you get A license plate?

I couldn't see A damn thing.

He shone a strobe light In my eyes.

I just checked With customs, bobby,

And she declared $3 million Worth of jewelry.

She had it in her bag,

And there's no doubt About that either.

All right, I'm gonna call in.

They'll be looking for you By helicopter.

Where? Up at the triborough?

There's a thousand cars That look like us.

Hey, you better change.

Well, how were we?

Scary?

You were perfect.

Better than the film I stole it from.

Well, little sister of mine,

You look wonderful.

It's a hell of a way to meet A future brother-in-law.

I'm impressed, roger. You were fantastic.

Well, I've always been Impressed by you.

And figuring that paxton Would be waiting for you,

How'd you know that?

Are you kidding?

Twelve years that guy has been Chasing me around like a shadow.

He know me better than all three Of my ex-husbands together.

What he's forgetting Is that I know him as well.

He's been looking for a chance To use that concorde gag

For a year now.

I could see it coming For months.

No, I can't describe them.

One was a medium-size man With a mustache,

And the other was a chauffeur. That's all I know.

What about billy butler, The jewel expert?

You know him from europe?

Billy butler? Sure.

Well, he heard a rumor That somebody was gonna rip off

Diane marco's jewelry When she got to new york.

Look, lieutenant, you're gonna Find this hard to understand,

But I start those rumors.

- you what? - I made it up.

In fact, I make up a lot Of rumors about diane marco.

You want to explain that, Paxton?

Come on, let's face it. Who is diane marco?

I mean, these days?

Compared to a mick or a jackie, Or a hundred others?

She's a nobody, except for me. I keep her in the headlines.

"Diane marco, Target of jewel thieves."

"Diane marco skinny-dips With prince."

Hey, I'm better

Than a million-dollar-a-year Publicity agent.

You mean, nobody ever intended To rip off her jewelry

When she got to new york?

To tell you the truth Lieutenant,

Most of her stuff Is paste.

Yeah, she sold off the good Through the years.

But I wouldn't let that out,

Because it would spoil it For both of us.

What about this so-called Kidnapping, paxton?

I mean, is that another P.R. Stunt too?

You know, something you made up To, uh, help her image?

That would be a felony, Paxton.

False report on a crime.

I--I swear to you, I had nothing to do with it.

They--they just grabbed her At the airport.

Hey, what? Don't you believe me?

I can't give that story To the press

To smear all over The newspapers.

I mean, not without A ransom note,

Or a threat, Or a complaint.

You're such A good friend of hers,

Maybe you know where she Intended to stay in new york?

I checked all those hotels.

She's nowhere to be found.

But I have a lot of contacts I pay good.

She can't hide from me.

Well, I don't know, paxton.

She's a pretty theatrical lady From all I know of her.

And maybe that's exactly What she's doing.

You know, Get a couple friends,

Hustle her out of there, Throw you off the trail.

Makes it look like A kidnapping.

And I'll tell you something, Paxton.

I hope that's exactly What happened,

Because I wouldn't want anything Bad to happen to that lady.

I mean, neither would I, Lieutenant.

I mean,

I really wouldn't.

So, I returned the limo, Paid cash, no questions asked.

Next time you need To plan a vacation...

We are your secret agents

Here in the united states, ja?

I'm very glad That we're back in touch.

You're really the only family That I have. You know that?

Well, it was roger's idea.

He was saying A couple months ago

That we just weren't Taking advantage of one another.

Diane, if you have Any valuables or anything,

This isn't the safest building In the city

Just to leave them Lying about.

Roger's mother had them put a Little wall safe in the bedroom.

Just works with a key, But it's better than nothing.

You see, we keep on Hearing and reading

About all this fabulous jewelry You have.

I guess you're a real star Over there in europe.

I would hate to think My best days are over.

Here, roger.

If it'll make you feel Any better, put them away.

I'd certainly be lost Without them.

Sure.

And now, What are we having?

Lobster? Squab? Caviar?

Meat loaf, But it's terrific.

I thought so.

What'd I tell you, frank?

She's in almost Every issue here.

"Diane marco met her arab lover In another life."

Photo: joe paxton. Who else?

That's quite a newspaper.

Look at this.

"Twenty tons of marijuana Delivered by flying saucer,

Says arrested smuggler."

- it's a cute alibi. - yeah.

You know, I think that whole Paper's flying high.

Captain, lieutenant,

On that supposed abduction Yesterday, diane marco?

Martians took her off In a flying saucer.

Wouldn't surprise me to see that In next week's headlines.

Truth is, captain, it begins To look a little more serious.

How's that?

Airport security found this Yesterday at the curb

Where the limousine Was parked.

That's no prop, frank.

All right, take that To ballistics, okay?

See if it has a record. And do it fast.

Yes, sir.

Well, it could have been Dropped by somebody

Who was afraid Of airport security.

I don't like it, frank.

Theo, there's not a porter,

Cab driver or any other witness At the airport

Who saw yesterday's incident As anything but a lady

Getting into a car Under her own steam.

Now, paxton's hardly A reliable witness, correct?

We don't have enough reason To put out an alarm

Until somebody Reports her missing.

Well, how about If that somebody

Happens to be an old fan Who remembers what it's like

To look at an old-fashioned Movie star?

- like who? - like me.

Okay, crocker. Thanks anyway.

Hey, alex.

Here, give me a couple More minutes of your time.

Now, when marco was staying here A couple of years ago,

I did some shots of her And her sister, remember?

I was waiting over there For a couple hours.

Yeah, I remember the story. Her sister's a nobody like me.

Works in some Department store.

Yeah, well, I can't remember The name of the store.

Do you remember?

Let's see. It was christmas.

There was these silver reindeer On her shopping bags.

'75. Fremont's. That's the store.

Right. Those are the bags They used that year.

- thanks, alex. - okay.

June, we better get a move on. We're almost late for work.

How long does it take you To get to the store?

Oh, it's straight up 8th avenue on 34th street.

It's no more Than five minutes.

If you want to go out Or anything,

The keys are on the Dressing table in your room.

Don't worry about me.

Being holed up With television and magazines

Is going to make A nice change.

Well, use the stereo. Anything you want.

Oh, and don't forget,

If you get scared, My gun's in the nightstand.

You don't mind having it around, I hope.

Remember, baby sister,

In the first scene Of the first film when I was 18?

I slipped a little gun Into the pocket

Of my silk trench coat under Which I wore absolutely nothing,

Went out into the night for Revenge, and came back a star.

Guns are lucky for me. Don't worry.

- okay. Bye-bye. - ciao.

Okay, I'll check on it.

I got two reuben Sandwiches.

You want my sauerkraut, You can have it.

How come when you buy A reuben sandwich

You always scrape off The sauerkraut?

I've been doing it that way For years. What, do you mind?

All right, what stinks?

Sauerkraut.

Oh. I thought it was Your aftershave lotion.

- what's up? - oh, ballistics called.

You know that gun They found at the airport

When diane marco Was supposedly kidnapped?

Well, they fired a slug from it,

And apparently It matches a gun

That was used two years ago On a heist in brooklyn.

October '76. Arlene department store robbery?

There was a guard killed In that one, wasn't there?

That's right, lieutenant. We never did make that case.

It's still open.

The gun at the airport,

The same that plugged That guard?

I thought you figured That marco kidnapping

Was some sort of gag?

Oh, no, not if the gun Is involved.

Where's paxton? I want to talk to him.

He called bobby Before he want home.

Tried to get an address From him.

Didn't say where He could be reached.

Called for what?

Well, he wanted help locating Some person

For a story He was writing.

And bobby told him we just don't Run errands for papers.

June di marcoli?

- I guess that's it. - that's her sister.

- diane marco's sister. - well, how did I know that?

Diane marco's real name Is adrienne di marcoli.

I mean, don't you read anything But the new york times?

Hello?

- mr. Stein? - yes?

This is security. We're making a door check.

Would you mind ringing Your buzzer, please?

Thank you. That's fine.

You lousy peeping tom.

You cheap paparazzo, Picture-peddling pimp.

Diane.

Inside, come on, Where I can call the cops.

Come on.

- come on. - diane, just take it easy.

Don't get excited. Don't get excited.

Is that thing loaded?

Yes, that thing is loaded, And I know how to use it.

Oh, well, you didn't know how To use it in positanolast year.

- you half scared me to death. - move. I know.

I missed you by a mile. Well, lucky you.

Go on, move. Move.

Diane, take it easy. Take--take--take it easy.

- move. - all right, I'm moving.

- I'm moving. - what have you got in there?

Me naked?

No makeup, close-up, So that all the years show, huh?

I didn't take a picture.

Come on, joe.

I'm telling you, I--I didn't snap a shot.

I was just watching. You know, for myself.

Strip, joe.

Strip? Strip?

Are you kidding?

I mean, take a look At the camera.

It's still on number one. I--I didn't shoot nothing.

Diane, I really didn't Come here to shoot pictures.

I was worried about That business at the airport.

You fell for it?

You can't imagine How many tricks

I've wanted To pull on you.

Then...And I thought I had The perfect gag,

Beating you over here On the concorde.

Hey, how about a-- How about a drink of that wine?

But there--there's something I've got to talk to you about.

This lawsuit, diane. A million bucks.

I mean, You can't be serious.

I'm very serious.

You know, if I get to spend $50,000 a year on myself,

Now I'm lucky.

I need the money.

You've made enough off me. It's fair.

I only made $65,000 myself Last year.

I mean, how does A million dollars fit into that?

And what would you do Without me?

You'd fade away. You'd be invisible.

Is that what you want?

Sometimes. Not for long.

You know what we really Ought to do?

We ought to pool Our efforts.

Become a team.

Paxton and marco, Or marco and paxton.

But we keep it a secret.

And that way, we can plan All our moves together.

I let you break a camera Over my head once in a while

And we pick out the pictures That make the best publicity.

Now, if we'd have had our money In the same pot last year,

You'd have come out ahead, Right?

I mean, 65, 50?

Diane, why'd you come here For anyway?

To get a face-lift?

You really don't need one, You know.

I got some real Tight shots of you.

Up close.

I mean, With telephoto lens.

You know, it's...

It's not the--not the same As being here.

I mean, It's not at all.

You look damn good.

Diane...

You've been my whole life For 12 years.

You know that.

That's funny.

You've been the only person

I could always be really furious At in interviews,

Talking to other people.

On film they used to say That I looked best angry.

Thanks, joe.

Enough.

It was nice.

Hmm.

Thank you very much.

Look, willie, I told you,

I've got it all laid out For tonight. Hold on.

- yeah? - it's 6:30.

- are you going to take a break? - I can't.

I'm checking the stockroom.

I've got to come up with a Dozen pair of boots, size 5.

Maybe in half an hour,

But I have to go Down there myself.

- sorry. - okay, hon. I'll see you later.

- all right. - bye.

You still there?

Look, last time you boosted A department store,

A guy got killed.

I don't need That involvement.

In the first place, It is not a store.

It's personal jewelry worth 2, Maybe even $3 million.

Sight unseen, I'm not even promising

10 percent on the dollar.

You show me $200,000 cash And I'll take it.

In the meantime, I've got to hide the stuff

Somewhere around here.

You come over tomorrow. We're doing inventory.

I'll give you a call In the morning,

- work out the details. - listen, layton,

Don't waste my time On this.

Not like the last time.

You listen to me.

There's no way I'm gonna stuff Fat ladies' feet into shoes

One more day Than I have to.

This is the score I've been waiting for,

And I'm not gonna Blow it now.

Now, who suggested Charge accounts?

I did. Where'd you find her?

Fremont's. She has an employee Charge account there.

June di marcoli.

199 west 23rd street,

Apartment...

What's that?

This time it is My aftershave lotion.

I put a little bit on To freshen up.

- do you like it? - no, it's not you, stavros.

I like the sauerkraut better.

Let's go.

Yeah, it's just the way your Hair was in streets of evil.

- I like that. - there's one I forgot.

Yeah, you were really good In that picture.

Best acting you ever did.

All right, now. This is natural light.

No strobe. So don't move.

You know, I never found A single photographer

Who could show how I felt.

Well, this is what I always wanted to do.

But it didn't Pay the bills, though.

You know, you're just Wasting your talent

Running around All over the place.

Why don't you stay here In new york?

Get a--do something On the stage, maybe.

Live theater? Me?

I ran into a couple Of producers once,

And they didn't think It was such a nutty idea.

Really?

That's it.

Want some more wine?

Sure. Where is it? I'll get it.

It's in the kitchen.

Don't move.

Don't say a word, And you won't get hurt.

Open the safe.

Hey!

Operator, I need An ambulance fast.

199 west 23rd street.

Fine.

Diane.

I was in the kitchen.

I came back with the wine.

This guy had her Over by the safe.

And how'd you get Into the apartment, paxton?

From the terrace.

I came down from the roof.

And 30 minutes later, you and This woman who's suing you

For a million bucks are knocking Off your second bottle of wine?

- now that's hard to believe. - it happened.

How is she?

Come on, come on. Tell me.

Thank you very much. Good-bye.

She's in surgery now, Miss di marcoli.

Is she conscious? Talking? Is there anything encouraging?

Well, she lost her vital signs Twice in the past 30 minutes.

And I'm sorry, Things don't look too hopeful.

I ought to kill you, You know that?

Hey!

- ah! - all right. Easy, saperstein.

I didn't do anything.

Diane kicked this guy Hard in the shin.

It's got to be him.

I was at work all night.

I wrecked my leg on something In the stockroom.

You can check that If you want.

And you're trying To pass if off on me?

- settle down! - put him in the holding tank.

- get off! - come on.

- settle down. - in the holding tank.

Let me go.

Now look, we're going to need A brief statement from you two.

Okay? You know, Witnesses who saw you at work.

- all routine, okay? - yeah, no problem.

But you know his story, Don't you?

He'd risk his life For a picture of her.

It's her life I don't want To risk, right?

Does this relate to that Abduction at the airport?

I can't imagine how?

And you had nothing To do with it?

No. Diane just told us

That a couple of friends Of hers helped get her

Past paxton At the airport.

We didn't ask any more Questions.

- stavros. - yes, sir.

- get statements here. - okay.

Why couldn't I tell him About the airport?

We didn't do Anything wrong.

That gun I lost?

I bought it from a guy Years ago.

I don't know anything About it,

Where it came from Or anything.

It could be hot, You know?

That's all.

Over here, please.

June, trust me.

All right, frank, What do you think?

Well, paxton enters The premises illegally

To take photographs,

She gets the gun from the safe, Surprises him.

They struggle, he shoots her, Probably not intentionally.

How about the diamonds In the safe?

Well, he could have hid them In the apartment

To back up that story, Thrown them off the roof.

- three million in diamonds? - oh, remember, they were fake.

And paxton was one of the few Who knew it.

We'll search the whole place As soon as it gets light.

- what do you want to do? - I don't know.

Keep him in custody, Maybe we dig something up.

Rizzo.

- yeah? - take him down to civil jail

As quick as possible, As soon as you clean your desk.

Yes, sir.

- how is she? - well, not good.

Look, why don't you Stick with her, okay,

And I'll check back With you later?

"Exclusive photo by paxton."

Wonderful.

Here you go, lou.

Hey, uh, would you mind

Calling the hospital again, Please?

Paxton, I told you Three hours ago,

That if anything bad Happens to her,

We'll be the first ones To know.

Because then It becomes homicide.

And I'm telling you, It's not me. It's layton.

Take it easy.

We'll make a case If we can.

If we-- "If" isn't good enough.

Lou, I'm gonna get a bite.

I'm gonna take him down To civil jail.

Hey, this coffee Goes right through you.

Can I make a trip To the head?

Well, come on, What am I supposed to do?

What's happening, Stavros?

Layton came back From the hospital and let us in.

We can't find Any sign of jewelry,

But I did find this gun In a garbage can outside.

The intruder must have Dumped it there.

This is june's gun?

Okay, but you stick around, All right?

We may want to run down Your story again.

It's fake.

What are you talking about? It can't be.

I told you not to touch me When I'm carrying cash.

Layton?

Move over. Get over here!

Don't move.

Give me the money.

Freeze, layton.

That's far enough, layton.

Cuff him.

It's a little late For an apology, but I'm sorry.

Why don't you all Take a walk?

That's all right.

For once I don't mind it,

Being in every paper In the world.
