00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:15,535
Man on TV:
War continues in Europe.

4
00:01:15,535 --> 00:01:16,953
Hitler has suggested
that any questions

5
00:01:16,953 --> 00:01:19,414
over the future of Poland
will be settled entirely

6
00:01:19,414 --> 00:01:21,374
between Germany and Russia.

7
00:01:21,374 --> 00:01:22,792
He also stated that he regards

8
00:01:22,792 --> 00:01:25,211
the Czechoslovak Question
as closed.

9
00:01:25,211 --> 00:01:26,546
Speaking at Washington,

10
00:01:26,546 --> 00:01:28,840
President Roosevelt made
no comment as to...

00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,384
[upbeat music]

[music continues]

14
00:02:34,364 --> 00:02:36,366
Clare: The name's Cavendish.

15
00:02:40,203 --> 00:02:42,205
A Miss Cavendish.

16
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:48,711
Perhaps it's a first name,
Cavendish?

17
00:02:52,257 --> 00:02:54,884
Um, cigarette?

18
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,845
The cigarettes you keep
for your clients,

19
00:02:56,845 --> 00:02:59,013
are they better or worse than
what you smoke?

20
00:02:59,013 --> 00:03:00,682
They're the same.

21
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:05,478
Perhaps it is a first name, Cavendish.

22
00:03:06,604 --> 00:03:09,566
It's... a good first name.

23
00:03:09,566 --> 00:03:10,817
Mm.

24
00:03:14,946 --> 00:03:17,073
Please.

25
00:03:17,073 --> 00:03:21,744
How private exactly are your
investigations, Mr. Marlowe?

26
00:03:22,912 --> 00:03:26,458
What can I do for you,
Mrs. Cavendish?

27
00:03:26,458 --> 00:03:28,751
Mm, you are a detective.

28
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,297
I'd like you
to find someone for me.

29
00:03:32,297 --> 00:03:33,381
Mm-hmm.

30
00:03:33,381 --> 00:03:34,924
Nico Peterson.

31
00:03:34,924 --> 00:03:39,762
He was my lover, he disappeared
without saying goodbye.

32
00:03:39,762 --> 00:03:43,099
When you say disappeared,
do you mean out of your life

33
00:03:43,099 --> 00:03:45,268
or out of the world?

34
00:03:45,268 --> 00:03:47,854
I don't know,
that's why I'm here.

35
00:03:47,854 --> 00:03:50,440
Where was your husband,
Mrs. Cavendish,

36
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,943
when your lover Nico Peterson
disappeared?

37
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:55,945
[sighs]
In retrospect...

38
00:03:57,739 --> 00:04:00,825
do call me Cavendish
without the Missus.

39
00:04:00,825 --> 00:04:02,452
I like it.

40
00:04:02,452 --> 00:04:04,412
Was your lover the sort of man
to disappear

41
00:04:04,412 --> 00:04:06,289
with you as a lover?

42
00:04:06,289 --> 00:04:08,750
Normally,
they don't disappear easily.

43
00:04:08,750 --> 00:04:11,461
Marlowe: No, I bet they don't.

44
00:04:11,461 --> 00:04:12,921
They stay around,

45
00:04:12,921 --> 00:04:16,424
climb trellises,
scenes in restaurants,

46
00:04:16,424 --> 00:04:19,260
lie down in the road,
promise you anything.

47
00:04:19,260 --> 00:04:20,803
Oh, I know how it goes.

48
00:04:20,803 --> 00:04:23,556
Do you lie down
in the road, Mr. Marlowe?

49
00:04:26,017 --> 00:04:27,936
- Drink?
- Please.

50
00:04:31,606 --> 00:04:35,026
Well, he's tall, like you.

51
00:04:35,026 --> 00:04:36,569
Bit of a weaker man.

52
00:04:37,487 --> 00:04:40,573
He dresses nice, meticulously.

53
00:04:41,783 --> 00:04:43,952
What does that say about a man?

54
00:04:43,952 --> 00:04:46,663
Does Mr. Peterson get money
from his profession

55
00:04:46,663 --> 00:04:50,083
or does he just
profess his profession?

56
00:04:50,083 --> 00:04:52,502
You seem to assume
that I was involved

57
00:04:52,502 --> 00:04:55,380
with someone unsuitable.

58
00:04:55,380 --> 00:04:58,591
Yes, unless you were
unsuitable for him.

59
00:05:00,677 --> 00:05:02,845
Go to hell,
you pathetic little...

60
00:05:02,845 --> 00:05:05,348
Marlowe: Would it be accurate
to say that Mr. Peterson

61
00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:08,685
would be a marginal person
in motion pictures?

62
00:05:08,685 --> 00:05:10,562
- Apologies, sir.
- Yes. Alright.

63
00:05:10,562 --> 00:05:12,021
Clare: It would be accurate,

64
00:05:12,021 --> 00:05:13,982
it would be
very accurate indeed.

65
00:05:13,982 --> 00:05:15,692
Man 1: Go to hell,
you pathetic...

66
00:05:19,696 --> 00:05:21,573
Clare: We would meet
at the Corbata Club.

67
00:05:21,573 --> 00:05:23,116
Do you know it?

68
00:05:23,116 --> 00:05:26,411
Marlowe: How did Mr. Peterson
know the Corbata Club?

69
00:05:26,411 --> 00:05:27,870
Was he your guest

70
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:31,499
or the kind of guy
who was anybody's guest?

71
00:05:31,499 --> 00:05:33,960
My husband and I
have an arrangement.

72
00:05:35,670 --> 00:05:39,507
May I ask,
is your husband homosexual?

73
00:05:39,507 --> 00:05:41,843
[chuckles]

74
00:05:41,843 --> 00:05:45,763
No. He isn't remotely
that interesting.

75
00:05:45,763 --> 00:05:48,891
He likes polo,
alcohol, waitresses

76
00:05:48,891 --> 00:05:50,059
and my money.

77
00:05:50,059 --> 00:05:52,687
Marlowe: Your money,
Mrs. Cavendish?

78
00:05:52,687 --> 00:05:54,397
I beg your pardon, Mr. Marlowe.

79
00:05:54,397 --> 00:05:56,482
I'm asking if the
money is yours.

80
00:05:57,567 --> 00:06:01,029
My father was in oil,
he's dead.

81
00:06:01,029 --> 00:06:04,532
You'd know my mother,
but we won't discuss her now.

82
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:08,745
Did you conduct your affair
with Mr. Peterson at the club?

83
00:06:08,745 --> 00:06:11,414
We weren't meeting
in the horse sheds, Mr. Marlowe.

84
00:06:12,749 --> 00:06:14,792
Marlowe:
What did he not show up for?

85
00:06:16,377 --> 00:06:18,004
An assignation.

86
00:06:18,004 --> 00:06:20,548
[instrumental music]

87
00:06:24,761 --> 00:06:27,889
Clare: I telephoned him
a few times, no answer,

88
00:06:27,889 --> 00:06:30,475
and then I went to his house
the following week.

89
00:06:30,475 --> 00:06:31,601
[door rattling]

90
00:06:31,601 --> 00:06:33,144
The milk hadn't been canceled

91
00:06:33,144 --> 00:06:35,938
and the newspapers
were piled up on his porch.

92
00:06:35,938 --> 00:06:37,857
[knock on door]

93
00:06:37,857 --> 00:06:40,568
Marlowe: Did he have
things to hide?

94
00:06:40,568 --> 00:06:42,445
Clare: Haven't we all?

95
00:06:42,445 --> 00:06:46,240
Marlowe: What do you think
has become of Mr. Peterson?

96
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,743
Clare: Told you,
I want a set of fresh eyes

97
00:06:48,743 --> 00:06:52,080
and yours come
highly recommended.

98
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,957
Maybe you'll find out
what I can't.

99
00:07:04,926 --> 00:07:08,971
My name's really Clare,
like the county.

100
00:07:11,349 --> 00:07:12,642
You know the county?

101
00:07:12,642 --> 00:07:15,687
Yeah, in Ireland.
I know it well.

102
00:07:15,687 --> 00:07:20,608
My mother was in pictures,
you'd know her.

103
00:07:20,608 --> 00:07:23,736
It's rather embarrassing
with the upper class.

104
00:07:25,988 --> 00:07:29,200
You're very perceptive
and sensitive, Mr. Marlowe.

105
00:07:33,996 --> 00:07:36,082
I imagine it gives you trouble.

106
00:07:36,082 --> 00:07:38,501
[instrumental music]

107
00:07:57,395 --> 00:07:59,272
[doorknob rattling]

108
00:08:15,371 --> 00:08:18,040
He ain't home, bo.

109
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,211
What? He owe you dough
or make time with your wife?

110
00:08:22,211 --> 00:08:23,546
That's the way it is, huh?

111
00:08:23,546 --> 00:08:27,216
Yeah, I'd say so,
and good for him.

112
00:08:27,216 --> 00:08:31,846
He's not a bad guy, if you don't
trust people anyway. I don't.

113
00:08:33,389 --> 00:08:36,517
I think he's from Cleveland.

114
00:08:36,517 --> 00:08:38,394
That's my place
across the street,

115
00:08:38,394 --> 00:08:40,521
he used to come over sometimes,

116
00:08:40,521 --> 00:08:42,440
pass the time of day.

117
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,567
Give me a smoke.

118
00:08:44,567 --> 00:08:47,236
How, uh, how long
has he been gone?

119
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:50,323
Oh, I guess I last seen him
seven weeks ago.

120
00:08:51,574 --> 00:08:53,785
You, uh, you see him leave?

121
00:08:53,785 --> 00:08:56,788
No, I just noticed he was gone.

122
00:08:57,914 --> 00:09:00,416
How did you know?

123
00:09:00,416 --> 00:09:03,085
Well, he wasn't there anymore.

124
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:05,838
That means there weren't any
women banging on his front door,

125
00:09:05,838 --> 00:09:08,591
or throwing a shoe at the house.

126
00:09:08,591 --> 00:09:12,804
I mean, I did pretty good
in my day, but not like him.

127
00:09:12,804 --> 00:09:14,931
Are you a cop?

128
00:09:14,931 --> 00:09:16,349
Sort of.

129
00:09:16,349 --> 00:09:19,101
A private dick ain't no cop.

130
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:22,939
Yeah, you're not the first one
to come around asking about him.

131
00:09:22,939 --> 00:09:25,608
A pair of wetbacks
showed up last week,

132
00:09:25,608 --> 00:09:29,111
and they was all gussied up,
but a beaner in a suit

133
00:09:29,111 --> 00:09:31,739
and fancy necktie,
it's still a beaner, right?

134
00:09:31,739 --> 00:09:34,200
No, sometimes
he's the King of Spain.

135
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,953
King of Spain don't ride
around in no Lincoln,

136
00:09:36,953 --> 00:09:39,080
with a Mexican re-spray.

137
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,083
Yeah, I used to work in the low
end of the motor trade myself,

138
00:09:42,083 --> 00:09:44,252
it was two beaners in a hot car

139
00:09:44,252 --> 00:09:47,296
that had been across
the border and back.

140
00:09:47,296 --> 00:09:49,131
[engine revving]

141
00:09:53,010 --> 00:09:56,055
Joe: Oh, let's start
at the beginning.

142
00:09:56,055 --> 00:09:58,307
This guy's been looked at, sure.

143
00:09:58,307 --> 00:10:01,102
Grifts, alienations
of affection,

144
00:10:01,102 --> 00:10:04,480
parking tickets,
drunk at a social gathering.

145
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,276
And in the early days,
public solicitation.

146
00:10:08,276 --> 00:10:09,944
Now nobody knew
he ever had a house,

147
00:10:09,944 --> 00:10:12,238
he's down as domicile unknown.

148
00:10:12,238 --> 00:10:13,865
He does have a house,
I was there.

149
00:10:13,865 --> 00:10:15,324
Yeah, well,
there's having a house

150
00:10:15,324 --> 00:10:17,451
and being the person paying
for it, I suppose.

151
00:10:17,451 --> 00:10:18,828
Who was paying for it?

152
00:10:18,828 --> 00:10:20,788
Well, I think you'll find
he was paying cash

153
00:10:20,788 --> 00:10:23,416
from his no visible
means of support.

154
00:10:29,672 --> 00:10:33,092
Hope the lady friend looking
for him looks good in black.

155
00:10:34,302 --> 00:10:36,929
He was killed.
October 22nd, hit and run.

156
00:10:36,929 --> 00:10:38,764
Outside the Corbata Club.

157
00:10:39,849 --> 00:10:41,559
You owe me lunch.

158
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,519
Liquid or regular?

00:12:08,145 --> 00:12:10,898
Albert. We've got
a hedge hopper here.

180
00:12:10,898 --> 00:12:12,400
He needs trimming.

181
00:12:13,484 --> 00:12:15,695
A ver.

182
00:12:15,695 --> 00:12:17,113
- Hey, buddy.
- A ver.

183
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:20,116
[groans]

184
00:12:20,116 --> 00:12:22,952
[suspenseful music]

185
00:12:27,540 --> 00:12:31,627
Maybe there's a reason
you're unpopular with policemen.

186
00:12:31,627 --> 00:12:34,672
Keep getting, I don't know...

187
00:12:34,672 --> 00:12:37,800
punched, locked up,

188
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,844
and almost,
but not quite, charged

189
00:12:39,844 --> 00:12:43,264
with accessory,
obstruction, etcetera.

190
00:12:43,264 --> 00:12:46,308
- And at your age.
- It's my manner, Joe.

191
00:12:46,308 --> 00:12:49,353
Yup, starting to wish
you still had your pension?

192
00:12:49,353 --> 00:12:51,105
Sure you are.

193
00:12:51,105 --> 00:12:54,567
Look, Marlowe, listen...

194
00:12:54,567 --> 00:12:57,278
This guy got killed after
getting sauced in there.

195
00:12:58,863 --> 00:13:00,322
The remains smelled
like a brewery,

196
00:13:00,322 --> 00:13:02,533
and he had marks
up and down his arms,

197
00:13:02,533 --> 00:13:04,201
his head popped like a pumpkin.

198
00:13:04,201 --> 00:13:05,953
The Corbata Club
likes to make it nice,

199
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,371
it does not like trouble.

200
00:13:07,371 --> 00:13:09,415
Hit and run
is two crimes at least.

201
00:13:09,415 --> 00:13:11,000
Don't fuck with me,
this is LA.

202
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,334
These guys like Peterson

203
00:13:12,334 --> 00:13:14,003
are a dime a dozen,
they come out here,

204
00:13:14,003 --> 00:13:15,421
they fail a screen test
and they do what they've to do.

205
00:13:15,421 --> 00:13:17,214
Could any member
of the Corbata Club

206
00:13:17,214 --> 00:13:19,175
not know that he was dead?

207
00:13:19,175 --> 00:13:20,926
From our own Chief of Detectives

208
00:13:20,926 --> 00:13:22,845
to the new
Ambassador to England,

209
00:13:22,845 --> 00:13:25,473
I find it highly unlikely
it didn't come up over cream tea

210
00:13:25,473 --> 00:13:28,851
that a scumbag had caught
a Buick at the front entrance.

211
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:31,187
Did they ask you
to broom the case?

212
00:13:31,187 --> 00:13:33,689
No one has to ask, my brother.

213
00:13:33,689 --> 00:13:35,316
Can I see the police file?

214
00:13:36,525 --> 00:13:38,110
We don't need it.

215
00:13:43,032 --> 00:13:44,617
Why you looking for this guy?

216
00:13:46,202 --> 00:13:48,370
A lady wanted to find him.

217
00:13:48,370 --> 00:13:50,372
Well, he'll wait
until she comes by.

218
00:13:51,874 --> 00:13:54,376
[suspenseful music]

219
00:14:06,555 --> 00:14:10,810
Dorothy: Go back to Boston, to
that miserable goddamn family.

220
00:14:10,810 --> 00:14:17,066
And then onto England, the court
of Saint fucking James.

221
00:14:17,066 --> 00:14:20,069
You're not the only one
who's done with this.

222
00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:21,278
Just remember one thing.

223
00:14:21,278 --> 00:14:23,906
Oh, please, darling,
not another.

224
00:14:23,906 --> 00:14:25,950
I paid for that horse.

225
00:14:25,950 --> 00:14:27,660
Dorothy: I get to keep him too.

226
00:14:31,372 --> 00:14:33,374
Could you, uh, do mine after?

227
00:14:37,628 --> 00:14:39,088
Are you the new mechanic?

228
00:14:39,088 --> 00:14:41,090
Maybe, what's it paying?

229
00:14:41,090 --> 00:14:43,676
- You've a name?
- Marlowe.

230
00:14:43,676 --> 00:14:45,845
This is hell nor am I out of it.

231
00:14:45,845 --> 00:14:47,429
That was his one good line.

232
00:14:47,429 --> 00:14:49,890
You don't think
he was Shakespeare.

233
00:14:49,890 --> 00:14:51,267
Neither did he.

234
00:14:51,267 --> 00:14:53,185
Joseph: Maybe I am out of it.

235
00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,064
Well out of it.

236
00:15:02,027 --> 00:15:04,488
[music continues]

237
00:15:18,127 --> 00:15:20,421
You startled me, Marlowe.

238
00:15:20,421 --> 00:15:23,465
Apologies, seems to be my day
for startling.

239
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,471
Who else did you startle?

240
00:15:29,471 --> 00:15:32,975
Some elegant Mick outside,
who quoted Marlowe.

241
00:15:34,185 --> 00:15:35,686
Are you quotable, Mr. Marlowe?

242
00:15:35,686 --> 00:15:37,146
Christopher Marlowe.

243
00:15:37,146 --> 00:15:41,192
Ah, he played in Doctor Faustus
at the Harvard Rep.

244
00:15:41,192 --> 00:15:42,902
Never lets anyone forget that.

245
00:15:42,902 --> 00:15:44,820
- He?
- Hm.

246
00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:48,657
Joseph O'Reilly,
my mother's financial adviser,

247
00:15:48,657 --> 00:15:51,660
oh, and soon to be
Ambassador to England,

248
00:15:51,660 --> 00:15:54,496
he never lets anyone forget
about that either.

249
00:15:54,496 --> 00:15:57,166
What did he play,
one of the seven deadly sins?

250
00:15:57,166 --> 00:15:59,084
[chuckles]
Please.

251
00:16:00,628 --> 00:16:03,130
Iced tea?

252
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:04,673
You could have some of mine
if you like.

253
00:16:04,673 --> 00:16:06,759
Marlowe: No, thank you.

254
00:16:06,759 --> 00:16:08,677
I can offer you anything really,

255
00:16:08,677 --> 00:16:10,638
it's like the Arabian Nights
around here.

256
00:16:10,638 --> 00:16:12,056
Richard: Clare!

257
00:16:12,848 --> 00:16:14,266
Clare!

258
00:16:18,354 --> 00:16:20,147
Who the hell is this?

259
00:16:21,357 --> 00:16:24,235
Sorry, I'm, I'm Philip Marlowe.

260
00:16:24,235 --> 00:16:28,072
Hello, Marlowe. Cavendish.

261
00:16:28,072 --> 00:16:32,201
Clare: Mr. Marlowe calls me
Cavendish, Richard. I like it.

262
00:16:32,201 --> 00:16:33,827
It's your name, darling.

263
00:16:33,827 --> 00:16:35,496
I like it as a first name.

264
00:16:35,496 --> 00:16:37,790
Richard: Glad I'm good
for something, dear.

265
00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:39,375
Have you, um, offered

266
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:42,461
your very large friend
a proper drink, darling?

267
00:16:42,461 --> 00:16:45,881
She did, and I declined,
thank you.

268
00:16:45,881 --> 00:16:50,928
So, Mr. Marlowe, what kind of
business are you in?

269
00:16:50,928 --> 00:16:52,763
Mr. Marlowe detects things.

270
00:16:52,763 --> 00:16:56,016
Ah, and what are you
detecting here, Marlowe?

271
00:16:56,016 --> 00:16:59,561
My necklace.
I lost it, he found it.

272
00:16:59,561 --> 00:17:02,731
Richard: Of course he did.
I wonder where.

273
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:05,484
Well, it was a matter of
retracing your wife's steps.

274
00:17:06,652 --> 00:17:09,238
- Marlowe.
- Yes, Mr. Cavendish.

275
00:17:09,238 --> 00:17:10,656
Fuck yourself.

276
00:17:11,907 --> 00:17:14,451
It's a pleasure to meet you too,
Mr. Cavendish.

277
00:17:16,078 --> 00:17:18,330
Clare: Didn't go for it,
that's odd.

278
00:17:19,707 --> 00:17:22,209
He must think there's
something between us...

279
00:17:23,335 --> 00:17:27,256
probably something... sexual.

280
00:17:29,091 --> 00:17:31,552
So tell me about you
and Mr. Peterson

281
00:17:31,552 --> 00:17:34,179
with no embellishments, please.

282
00:17:34,179 --> 00:17:36,181
[instrumental music]

283
00:17:38,017 --> 00:17:41,770
Clare: I met him at the Corbata
Club for the first time.

284
00:17:41,770 --> 00:17:43,689
Thought he was handsome.

285
00:17:43,689 --> 00:17:49,153
We made love, and then I saw
him again, a few weeks later,

286
00:17:49,153 --> 00:17:51,864
not an assignation,
an accident.

287
00:17:51,864 --> 00:17:56,160
In Tijuana at my favorite bar,
La Quinteria.

288
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,120
I was there with my husband.

289
00:17:58,120 --> 00:18:01,332
We were watching the
procession, Dia de los Muertos.

290
00:18:04,293 --> 00:18:06,837
[man whistling]

291
00:18:17,473 --> 00:18:19,475
Marlowe: What was
he hustling in Mexico?

292
00:18:19,475 --> 00:18:23,270
Clare: I don't know.
Nico has many schemes.

293
00:18:25,314 --> 00:18:27,149
Marlowe: He's in the grave.

294
00:18:27,149 --> 00:18:29,651
Nico Peterson is dead.

295
00:18:29,651 --> 00:18:31,153
He's pretending.

296
00:18:32,237 --> 00:18:33,906
He's pretending very well.

297
00:18:33,906 --> 00:18:36,658
Clare: Oh, I know,
he's dead and buried.

298
00:18:36,658 --> 00:18:41,163
That he got killed in front of
the Corbata Club, supposedly.

299
00:18:43,123 --> 00:18:45,834
Everybody says he was.

300
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:49,171
But you see, the significant
thing is that

301
00:18:49,171 --> 00:18:52,508
I saw him the other day,
from the street,

302
00:18:52,508 --> 00:18:54,426
not in my mind's eye,

303
00:18:54,426 --> 00:18:57,179
on the street,
not dead at all.

304
00:18:57,179 --> 00:18:59,681
I think we're finished,
Mrs. Cavendish.

305
00:18:59,681 --> 00:19:00,766
No.

306
00:19:02,017 --> 00:19:04,353
I just wanted you to start
at the beginning.

307
00:19:05,771 --> 00:19:06,980
Begin at the beginning,

308
00:19:06,980 --> 00:19:09,483
that's what you're supposed
to do, right?

309
00:19:09,483 --> 00:19:12,152
- Where did you see him?
- Back in Tijuana.

310
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:16,031
My mother wanted me to view
some Azteca horses,

311
00:19:16,031 --> 00:19:17,574
you know the prancing kind.

312
00:19:19,201 --> 00:19:23,372
I did that,
I do what she says.

313
00:19:23,372 --> 00:19:25,541
So I was in La Quinteria again,

314
00:19:25,541 --> 00:19:28,043
having one of their
divine mojitos

315
00:19:28,043 --> 00:19:30,504
when I saw Nico
driving down the street.

316
00:19:30,504 --> 00:19:32,798
[singing in foreign language]

317
00:19:41,056 --> 00:19:43,517
Clare: He called himself
a collector.

318
00:19:43,517 --> 00:19:47,563
Most of all collected junk,
pretend antiques.

319
00:19:51,358 --> 00:19:54,778
I suppose
they're for the movies...

320
00:19:54,778 --> 00:19:58,407
things that don't exist,
fairy tales.

321
00:19:59,450 --> 00:20:00,742
There's a man in Baja,

322
00:20:00,742 --> 00:20:03,245
who thinks Nico's
actually a producer.

323
00:20:03,245 --> 00:20:04,580
[laughs]

324
00:20:04,580 --> 00:20:06,290
He's been fleeced.

325
00:20:08,250 --> 00:20:10,502
What? What's wrong?

326
00:20:10,502 --> 00:20:12,629
You lied to me, Mrs. Cavendish.

327
00:20:12,629 --> 00:20:15,382
And I sat there and watched you
lie to your husband.

328
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:16,925
Good afternoon.

329
00:20:29,313 --> 00:20:31,648
Hello, Mr...

330
00:20:31,648 --> 00:20:32,608
Marlowe.

331
00:20:32,608 --> 00:20:34,067
Oh, of course, I knew that.

332
00:20:34,067 --> 00:20:36,778
Richard made a call
when you first came in.

333
00:20:36,778 --> 00:20:39,239
You know what they say
about the old boys' club?

334
00:20:39,239 --> 00:20:40,949
What's that?

335
00:20:40,949 --> 00:20:42,743
There really is one.

336
00:20:42,743 --> 00:20:45,704
And what did he find,
Madame, uh...

337
00:20:45,704 --> 00:20:50,375
Dorothy Quincannon, and
don't pretend you don't know.

338
00:20:52,628 --> 00:20:56,548
Well, let's see,
you had a bad war,

339
00:20:56,548 --> 00:20:58,592
and then in the twenties,
you drank yourself

340
00:20:58,592 --> 00:21:00,344
out of a good job
in the oil business.

341
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:01,386
Did I?

342
00:21:01,386 --> 00:21:03,472
Got on with the Los Angeles DA

343
00:21:03,472 --> 00:21:06,892
as an investigator, but that
didn't work out too well either,

344
00:21:06,892 --> 00:21:08,685
did it, Mr. Marlowe?

345
00:21:08,685 --> 00:21:11,605
You see, he found all that out
in five minutes.

346
00:21:12,814 --> 00:21:16,485
You're not the only one
who can make enquiries.

347
00:21:16,485 --> 00:21:19,279
You weren't looking for pearls.

348
00:21:19,279 --> 00:21:23,825
No, I throw them before swine,
it's a habit of mine.

349
00:21:23,825 --> 00:21:27,663
Tell me, Mr. Marlowe,
what does my daughter want?

350
00:21:27,663 --> 00:21:31,124
A divorce?
I might even approve.

351
00:21:31,124 --> 00:21:34,211
I'm sorry, I only discuss
business with my employer,

352
00:21:34,211 --> 00:21:37,214
so if you'll excuse me.

353
00:21:37,214 --> 00:21:39,091
- Slan.
- Slan.

354
00:22:10,747 --> 00:22:12,374
[sighs]

355
00:22:26,054 --> 00:22:28,599
[suspenseful music]

356
00:22:39,443 --> 00:22:41,153
Marlowe: Excuse me?

357
00:23:01,256 --> 00:23:03,383
- Hey, Fergus.
- Oh, hello.

358
00:23:03,383 --> 00:23:05,636
Ah, Jesus, here it is.

359
00:23:05,636 --> 00:23:08,055
Not a single lead
on who ran Peterson down.

360
00:23:08,055 --> 00:23:10,974
- We pursued inquiries.
- But how far?

361
00:23:10,974 --> 00:23:14,061
Marlowe, if one wanted
to find an absolute nest

362
00:23:14,061 --> 00:23:16,438
of entitled
and connected tosspots

363
00:23:16,438 --> 00:23:18,106
who feel they can
just drive away

364
00:23:18,106 --> 00:23:19,816
after running over
another drunk's head,

365
00:23:19,816 --> 00:23:22,194
you go to the Corbata Club.

366
00:23:22,194 --> 00:23:25,280
There were no witnesses,
a suspect wasn't possible.

367
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,491
Saturday night, they come and go
at that club like rats

368
00:23:27,491 --> 00:23:29,284
through a hole in a garbage can.

369
00:23:29,284 --> 00:23:30,952
It could have been
any one of a hundred cars

370
00:23:30,952 --> 00:23:33,622
that flattened him, and probably
none of them contained

371
00:23:33,622 --> 00:23:35,832
anybody it'd be wise to arrest.

372
00:23:35,832 --> 00:23:39,628
We're in the real world here.
You understand a real world.

373
00:23:39,628 --> 00:23:41,213
Sometimes justice is blind,

374
00:23:41,213 --> 00:23:43,924
sometimes justice doesn't give
a shit and might be right.

375
00:23:43,924 --> 00:23:47,219
So who's the mystery broad
you're working for? His sister?

376
00:23:47,219 --> 00:23:48,679
Tell me about his sister.

377
00:23:48,679 --> 00:23:50,764
Maybe she identified him,
maybe she didn't.

378
00:23:50,764 --> 00:23:52,391
You tell me about his sister.

379
00:23:52,391 --> 00:23:56,103
I got my own sister, you can
stick his sister up your ass.

380
00:23:56,103 --> 00:23:57,813
I'm working for a person
who thinks

381
00:23:57,813 --> 00:24:01,108
that Nico Peterson
is still alive.

382
00:24:01,108 --> 00:24:05,404
Yeah, that's complicated.
I'm not a complicated man.

383
00:24:05,404 --> 00:24:07,656
My client claims
to have seen him,

384
00:24:07,656 --> 00:24:09,950
which gives you
a murder, my friend.

385
00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:11,993
Yeah, I got plenty, thanks.

386
00:24:14,037 --> 00:24:15,497
Here's your file.

387
00:24:17,708 --> 00:24:20,502
My employer thinks
he didn't die,

388
00:24:20,502 --> 00:24:21,878
that it wasn't him
that got smashed

389
00:24:21,878 --> 00:24:25,006
outside the Corbata Club,
to repeat myself.

390
00:24:25,006 --> 00:24:29,678
It gives me a murder, yeah,
theoretically, maybe.

391
00:24:29,678 --> 00:24:32,889
What's your trouble gents?
Money or women?

392
00:24:32,889 --> 00:24:35,058
Both, with the
complication of thirst.

393
00:24:35,058 --> 00:24:38,437
He's like the rest of us, Pat,
except he can't take a hint.

394
00:24:38,437 --> 00:24:40,188
- What'll you have?
- Whiskey.

395
00:24:40,188 --> 00:24:42,524
Usual.

396
00:24:42,524 --> 00:24:43,817
What's going on these days Patrick,

397
00:24:43,817 --> 00:24:45,694
you, you married, or happy?

398
00:24:45,694 --> 00:24:47,487
At least my laundry's done.

399
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:48,822
Pat had a rough
two weeks finding

400
00:24:48,822 --> 00:24:52,117
clean drawers after
he lost his mother.

401
00:24:52,117 --> 00:24:53,201
Fuck yourself.

402
00:24:53,201 --> 00:24:55,036
If I could, I wouldn't
have to listen.

403
00:24:55,036 --> 00:24:57,706
If it was an operation,
I'd sign up.

404
00:24:58,999 --> 00:25:01,835
If he's alive, Joe,
you have a homicide.

405
00:25:03,503 --> 00:25:05,297
Gonna keep saying that?

406
00:25:05,297 --> 00:25:07,382
That's the last thing
you want in homicide,

407
00:25:07,382 --> 00:25:08,884
I realize, homicide.

408
00:25:08,884 --> 00:25:11,553
What, you think
it was a homicide?

409
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:14,055
I went to the graveyard.
Guess what?

410
00:25:14,055 --> 00:25:16,057
- He was cremated.
- Good guess.

411
00:25:16,057 --> 00:25:19,352
Yeah, even the teeth
were destroyed

412
00:25:19,352 --> 00:25:20,729
and they'd be everywhere.

413
00:25:20,729 --> 00:25:23,315
You ever run over a rat
or a cat, look at it?

414
00:25:23,315 --> 00:25:26,401
If Peterson didn't die, who did?

415
00:25:26,401 --> 00:25:30,739
Look, Marlowe, I know you got
this Sir Lancelot bullshit,

416
00:25:30,739 --> 00:25:32,240
and you live like some monk,

417
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,368
you got no regular self-interest
anyone can count on,

418
00:25:35,368 --> 00:25:38,747
you like getting sapped and
locked up for just not stopping,

419
00:25:38,747 --> 00:25:42,918
and this is an interesting story
you have, if true.

420
00:25:42,918 --> 00:25:46,087
But that stiff, Peterson,
for all intents and purposes,

421
00:25:46,087 --> 00:25:48,548
had Peterson's wallet
in his pocket.

422
00:25:48,548 --> 00:25:50,342
Plus, he was identified
at the scene,

423
00:25:50,342 --> 00:25:52,135
for all intents and purposes.

424
00:25:52,135 --> 00:25:53,220
By who?

425
00:25:53,220 --> 00:25:54,888
The manager of the club,
Floyd Hanson,

426
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:57,933
and by the Los Angeles
County Coroner, who's a member.

427
00:25:57,933 --> 00:26:00,977
So, it's nobody's business now
but county.

428
00:26:01,937 --> 00:26:03,563
County line runs where?

429
00:26:03,563 --> 00:26:05,232
Bay Canyon Drive.

430
00:26:10,278 --> 00:26:12,322
Right along here?

431
00:26:12,322 --> 00:26:14,115
Oh, Jesus.

432
00:26:17,285 --> 00:26:18,787
Make the call, Joe.

433
00:26:19,913 --> 00:26:21,873
I'll keep you out of it.

434
00:26:26,127 --> 00:26:28,046
[engine revving]

435
00:26:32,300 --> 00:26:36,471
Mr. Hanson says it's most
irregular, Mr. Marlowe,

436
00:26:36,471 --> 00:26:38,014
but he'll see you.

437
00:26:38,014 --> 00:26:40,851
Keep to the left, follow
the signs that say reception.

438
00:26:40,851 --> 00:26:42,435
Oh, thank you.

439
00:26:42,435 --> 00:26:44,980
[suspenseful music]

440
00:27:12,966 --> 00:27:14,885
Floyd: I'm Floyd Hanson
the manager.

441
00:27:16,136 --> 00:27:17,804
What can I do for you,
Mr. Marlowe?

442
00:27:17,804 --> 00:27:20,473
Don't bother turning off
the car.

443
00:27:20,473 --> 00:27:22,726
The gateman tells me
you're a private investigator,

444
00:27:22,726 --> 00:27:24,144
could that be so?

445
00:27:24,144 --> 00:27:26,897
Yes, I used to work
for the DA's office.

446
00:27:26,897 --> 00:27:29,858
- I've heard that.
- I've heard that you've heard.

447
00:27:29,858 --> 00:27:32,235
[engine turns off]

448
00:27:32,235 --> 00:27:34,988
I'm here about an
accident that occurred.

449
00:27:36,823 --> 00:27:39,367
- A serious one?
- Nico Peterson.

450
00:27:39,367 --> 00:27:40,869
Well, that actually
wasn't on the property,

451
00:27:40,869 --> 00:27:42,245
that was more
in the public road.

452
00:27:42,245 --> 00:27:44,873
Oh, I fully appreciate
the distinction,

453
00:27:44,873 --> 00:27:47,334
but sometimes people
get moved off the property

454
00:27:47,334 --> 00:27:50,837
even though their leg is lying
on it a little bit.

455
00:27:50,837 --> 00:27:53,381
There was an interesting case
in Cincinnati.

456
00:27:53,381 --> 00:27:55,008
What was that?

457
00:27:55,008 --> 00:27:58,303
A man was beaten to death,
and then he was put in the road,

458
00:27:58,303 --> 00:28:00,889
and his head was run over
by a tire,

459
00:28:00,889 --> 00:28:03,516
to obliterate the cause of death

460
00:28:03,516 --> 00:28:05,852
and to get him off the property.

461
00:28:05,852 --> 00:28:07,354
Mr. Peterson was run down
on the road,

462
00:28:07,354 --> 00:28:09,522
and the road is not
on the property.

463
00:28:09,522 --> 00:28:11,191
I appreciate that.

464
00:28:11,191 --> 00:28:13,401
Was Peterson a member
of this club?

465
00:28:13,401 --> 00:28:16,196
No, Mr. Peterson
wasn't a member. No.

466
00:28:16,196 --> 00:28:18,281
Marlowe: That's because
you're exclusive I imagine.

467
00:28:18,281 --> 00:28:20,784
Floyd: We are,
but your meaning, sir?

468
00:28:20,784 --> 00:28:22,994
[indistinct chatter]

469
00:28:22,994 --> 00:28:24,746
What would we do without Mexico?

470
00:28:24,746 --> 00:28:28,416
Mexico's the future, we have a
sister club in Baja, California.

471
00:28:28,416 --> 00:28:31,461
- Looks like the past.
- It must be brought along.

472
00:28:31,461 --> 00:28:33,588
Mexico or its inhabitants?

473
00:28:33,588 --> 00:28:35,131
Stick to the point, Mr. Marlowe.

474
00:28:36,257 --> 00:28:37,884
It must have been
a shock for you,

475
00:28:37,884 --> 00:28:40,345
seeing Mr. Peterson
on the road like that.

476
00:28:40,345 --> 00:28:43,723
I was at Chateau Thierry,
old man, Belleau Wood.

477
00:28:43,723 --> 00:28:45,141
I have seen men in more disarray

478
00:28:45,141 --> 00:28:47,185
than that in which
Mr. Peterson was discovered.

479
00:28:48,728 --> 00:28:50,313
Once, after an artillery strike,

480
00:28:50,313 --> 00:28:53,358
I found a friend's tooth
in my whiskey glass.

481
00:28:53,358 --> 00:28:54,901
I drank the whiskey.

482
00:28:55,777 --> 00:28:57,529
You're a terrible man.

483
00:28:57,529 --> 00:29:00,448
He was dead,
and I needed the whiskey.

484
00:29:00,448 --> 00:29:02,701
You're my age,
perhaps you were there,

485
00:29:02,701 --> 00:29:05,954
perhaps you know how it was,
and therefore is.

486
00:29:05,954 --> 00:29:09,207
Royal Irish Rifles.
The Somme.

487
00:29:09,207 --> 00:29:11,793
For the rest of time,
we see the dead.

488
00:29:13,753 --> 00:29:15,422
Let's take a stroll,
Mr. Marlowe.

489
00:29:15,422 --> 00:29:17,799
We're alive,
when others are not,

490
00:29:17,799 --> 00:29:19,467
and it's a pleasant morning.

491
00:29:21,886 --> 00:29:24,347
[suspenseful music]

492
00:29:26,391 --> 00:29:27,851
Marlowe: I see
you've made inequity

493
00:29:27,851 --> 00:29:29,269
pretty much your profession.

494
00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:32,272
The Club is exclusive.
The rich like to play.

495
00:29:32,272 --> 00:29:35,108
The polo grounds are over there.

496
00:29:35,108 --> 00:29:39,821
So whose guest was Mr. Peterson
the night he was killed?

497
00:29:39,821 --> 00:29:42,115
Who's your employer Mr. Marlowe?

498
00:29:42,115 --> 00:29:45,076
We're at an impasse,
Mr. Hanson. Who's yours?

499
00:29:45,076 --> 00:29:46,578
I don't know
what you want me to tell you,

500
00:29:46,578 --> 00:29:49,039
the police were thorough,
aren't they always,

501
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,708
isn't that what they do,
be thorough?

502
00:29:51,708 --> 00:29:55,420
I rarely blame a policeman
unless he's really bad.

503
00:29:55,420 --> 00:29:58,173
There's generally someone
he's afraid of.

504
00:29:58,173 --> 00:30:01,885
And who in this instance would
any policeman be afraid of?

505
00:30:01,885 --> 00:30:03,928
Well, if the hit and run driver

506
00:30:03,928 --> 00:30:07,682
were a very substantial
or a connected person,

507
00:30:07,682 --> 00:30:10,351
a policeman might be afraid
of the Club in general.

508
00:30:10,351 --> 00:30:11,853
I mean, I am.

509
00:30:11,853 --> 00:30:14,773
What would it take for you
not to be afraid? What can I do?

510
00:30:14,773 --> 00:30:18,318
Now, listen, Mr. Hanson,
I intend to ask questions.

511
00:30:18,318 --> 00:30:20,070
Then ask your damn questions.

512
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:22,072
Now this was a hit and run,

513
00:30:22,072 --> 00:30:23,823
and given the road,
it was probably a member,

514
00:30:23,823 --> 00:30:27,702
and perhaps the driver didn't
even know he'd struck anything.

515
00:30:27,702 --> 00:30:30,497
Everybody in this country has
been drunk since its inception.

516
00:30:30,497 --> 00:30:33,416
I don't think I've ever even
seen a sober driver.

517
00:30:35,042 --> 00:30:36,544
Shall we have some tea?

518
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,924
Marlowe: Is there much
gambling here, Mr. Hanson?

519
00:30:40,924 --> 00:30:42,884
You're on very dangerous ground.

520
00:30:42,884 --> 00:30:44,427
There are cards that are played.

521
00:30:44,427 --> 00:30:45,887
Debts accumulated.

522
00:30:45,887 --> 00:30:48,473
There are card rooms,
they're private.

523
00:30:48,473 --> 00:30:49,724
Bedrooms?

524
00:30:49,724 --> 00:30:51,643
We have guest accommodations.

525

00:40:53,369 --> 00:40:56,122
spreading her legs for him.

700
00:40:56,122 --> 00:40:59,625
So, if you find Mr. Peterson,
come to me before--

701
00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:03,087
Where would I find
Miss Toxteth?

702
00:41:03,087 --> 00:41:07,383
Don't know, some god-awful
B picture I suppose.

703
00:41:07,383 --> 00:41:10,970
- Ma'am.
- Wait. How dare you?

704
00:41:10,970 --> 00:41:14,849
I'm a little confused,
I've already been paid.

709
00:41:34,618 --> 00:41:35,911
I need to see the face.

710
00:41:35,911 --> 00:41:39,206
Ama-- Amanda, uh,
camera's over there,

711
00:41:39,206 --> 00:41:40,833
I need you to look
at the camera.

712
00:41:40,833 --> 00:41:43,586
Car rolls up,
you look at the cameras, okay?

713
00:41:43,586 --> 00:41:45,463
Thank you. Lunch.

714
00:41:45,463 --> 00:41:47,256
I can take this off, right?

715
00:41:47,256 --> 00:41:49,967

Believe me, I look better
without the war paint.

717
00:41:52,303 --> 00:41:55,222
Marlowe: Thanks for seeing me,
Miss Toxteth.

718
00:41:55,222 --> 00:41:58,058
Call me Mandy.
You're a detective?

719
00:41:58,058 --> 00:42:00,144
I'm more harmless than I look.

720
00:42:00,144 --> 00:42:03,022
That must be exciting,
being a detective.

721
00:42:03,022 --> 00:42:04,732
I can hardly contain myself.

722
00:42:04,732 --> 00:42:07,568
Oh, well, don't contain yourself
on my account.

723
00:42:07,568 --> 00:42:10,738
Nico Peterson
was your agent, yes?

724
00:42:10,738 --> 00:42:14,909
Well, he got me some work...

725
00:42:14,909 --> 00:42:17,411
"Riders of the Red Dawn,"
did you see it?

726
00:42:17,411 --> 00:42:22,666
- Mm, not yet, no.
- Well, it's gone now.

727
00:42:22,666 --> 00:42:26,879
Joel McCrea was supposed to be
in it, but something happened.

728
00:42:26,879 --> 00:42:29,507
I play the rancher's wife,
who makes eyes at an Indian,

729
00:42:29,507 --> 00:42:31,091
and the Indian gets hanged.

730
00:42:31,091 --> 00:42:33,010
I'll catch it
when it comes round again.

731
00:42:34,345 --> 00:42:38,182
Acting seems to be going well,
Miss Toxteth.

732
00:42:38,182 --> 00:42:39,600
You're sweet.

733
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,604
Actually, my mother says
I should fuck more producers.

734
00:42:43,604 --> 00:42:44,939
What do you think?

735
00:42:44,939 --> 00:42:48,776
I think your mother
is gravely mistaken.

736
00:42:50,361 --> 00:42:53,739
What can you tell me
about Nico Peterson?

737
00:42:53,739 --> 00:42:55,825
How deeply should my account
be detailed?

738
00:42:55,825 --> 00:42:57,952
Marlowe: Well, when did you
last see him?

739
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:01,956
I guess a week before he died.

740
00:43:01,956 --> 00:43:04,291
He was trying to get back
into my good graces.

741
00:43:04,291 --> 00:43:08,671
- He was a womanizer, yes?
- That's a tricky question.

742
00:43:08,671 --> 00:43:11,382
Nico liked the conquest,
not the women.

743
00:43:11,382 --> 00:43:14,426
He'd hardly touch you
after he'd had you.

744
00:43:14,426 --> 00:43:16,178
That's a particular kind of man.

745
00:43:16,178 --> 00:43:18,848
Some girls say
handsome men are cold,

746
00:43:18,848 --> 00:43:20,432
that's normally just what
you say to ugly men

747
00:43:20,432 --> 00:43:24,895
to make them feel better,
but... Nico was cold.

748
00:43:26,397 --> 00:43:28,691
Nico had girlfriends,
but he didn't have

749
00:43:28,691 --> 00:43:30,818
girls who were friends.

750
00:43:30,818 --> 00:43:33,404
Do you know any of his
other girlfriends?

751
00:43:33,404 --> 00:43:36,240
Amanda: Clare Quincannon
supposedly fell for him.

752
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,285
The blonde with
the terrible mother.

753
00:43:39,285 --> 00:43:43,831
And the mother's story,
kept by the Ambassador.

754
00:43:43,831 --> 00:43:46,500
He even bought this
studio for her.

755
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:49,712
I hear it's pure slavery.

756
00:43:49,712 --> 00:43:52,715
Did Nico have anything
to do with Mexico,

757
00:43:52,715 --> 00:43:55,009
business out of Mexico?

758
00:43:55,009 --> 00:43:57,887
There's only one
business out of Mexico,

don't be a sweet chump.

760
00:43:59,763 --> 00:44:03,142
When he had money that was why,
and probably the only reason

761
00:44:03,142 --> 00:44:06,979
anybody would look for him,
owed money or a fix.

- Who?
- Nico Peterson.

765
00:44:21,243 --> 00:44:23,954
Well, whatever he drove,
he ain't parking it here.

It's alright,
I'm a friend of Nico's.

772
00:45:52,584 --> 00:45:55,546
- Philip Marlowe.
- You're much too persistent.

773
00:45:55,546 --> 00:45:58,173
- I'm trying to find Nico.
- He's dead.

774
00:45:58,173 --> 00:46:02,344
Wait a minute.
Are you so sure of that?

775
00:46:02,344 --> 00:46:05,264
I've been hired to look into
your brother's disappearance.

776
00:46:05,264 --> 00:46:08,017
He hasn't disappeared,
he's in a jar on a marble shelf.

777
00:46:08,017 --> 00:46:09,852
I had to buy it myself.

778
00:46:09,852 --> 00:46:12,146
You saw it, too,
should have known.

779
00:46:12,146 --> 00:46:14,982
What if I told you
he might be alive?

I don't believe in
fairy tales, mister.

781
00:46:17,943 --> 00:46:22,114
I saw his body on
the gurney at the place.

782
00:46:22,114 --> 00:46:24,658
So it wasn't at
the club on the roadway.

783
00:46:24,658 --> 00:46:27,286
I did everything I had to.

784
00:46:27,286 --> 00:46:29,038
It couldn't have been
easy seeing him.

785
00:46:29,038 --> 00:46:32,332
Wasn't much fun. And what's
Floyd got against you?

- Words.

- Nico was good with words.
- You say you saw his body?

Yeah. And then the cop tried
to make me in the hallway.

00:51:51,109 --> 00:51:52,778
I don't need you
to hear a tinkle,

873
00:51:52,778 --> 00:51:55,238
I need you to hear
a sonorous bell

874
00:51:55,238 --> 00:51:57,491
with a hunchback
swinging from it,

875
00:51:57,491 --> 00:52:03,413
gong-a-dong-a-dong,
not a tinkle, Mr. Marlowe.

876
00:52:03,413 --> 00:52:05,665
Who was chasing
Peterson's sister?

877
00:52:07,501 --> 00:52:09,378
Two beaners, I hear.

878
00:52:09,378 --> 00:52:13,673
Maladroits from sunnier climes,
the land of banana

879
00:52:13,673 --> 00:52:16,385
and tarantula, who were also,
quite separately,

880
00:52:16,385 --> 00:52:18,845
and I should like you
to notice that,

881
00:52:18,845 --> 00:52:20,514
looking for her brother.

882
00:52:20,514 --> 00:52:25,185
I would very much appreciate
a word with our friend Nico,

883
00:52:25,185 --> 00:52:28,772
if you find him
and I will pay you.

884
00:52:28,772 --> 00:52:30,690
Tell me what Nico
was involved in

885
00:52:30,690 --> 00:52:34,486
and why he faked
his death and ran.

886
00:52:34,486 --> 00:52:38,949
Nico, in the end,
had to avoid everybody, I think.

887
00:52:40,659 --> 00:52:43,703
But I will tell you that
he used to run errands for me,

888
00:52:43,703 --> 00:52:46,206
down in the land
of the sombrero,

889
00:52:46,206 --> 00:52:48,708
the serape and the mule.

890
00:52:48,708 --> 00:52:51,545
His Spanish was good,
he was dark

891
00:52:51,545 --> 00:52:54,464
in a Latin lover kind of way.

892
00:52:54,464 --> 00:52:56,133
He was useful in Mexico.

893
00:52:56,133 --> 00:53:01,346
Is it bananas or tarantulas
you import, Mr. Hendricks?

894
00:53:01,346 --> 00:53:03,265
Tarantulas.

895
00:53:03,265 --> 00:53:06,560
I'm entirely
composed of tarantulas.

896
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,981
- And me afraid of spiders.
- Nico worked for me.

897
00:53:10,981 --> 00:53:13,442
He would bring me items
so hard to come by up here

898
00:53:13,442 --> 00:53:15,485
where the laws are so strict.

899
00:53:15,485 --> 00:53:17,529
At the time of
his supposed death,

900
00:53:17,529 --> 00:53:21,825
he was in possession
of some of those items.

901
00:53:21,825 --> 00:53:24,035
And these items are?

902
00:53:24,035 --> 00:53:25,704
There are items and items

903
00:53:25,704 --> 00:53:29,458
and one item that
related to the said items.

904
00:53:29,458 --> 00:53:31,418
Why don't we take a ride
to the Corbata Club?

905
00:53:31,418 --> 00:53:33,420
Maybe he stashed
the items there.

906
00:53:33,420 --> 00:53:37,257
Mr. Marlowe, people will talk.

907
00:53:37,257 --> 00:53:40,427
When I go,
I go into the back entrance.

908
00:53:40,427 --> 00:53:42,053
Please leave that remark alone.

909
00:53:42,053 --> 00:53:46,600
- Wouldn't touch it.
- I grease the Corbata.

910
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:48,768
Lou: Beneath this
fine Charvet shirt

911
00:53:48,768 --> 00:53:51,354
there is nothing but grease.

912
00:53:51,354 --> 00:53:54,858
Peterson would've needed help,
he would've needed a body.

913
00:53:54,858 --> 00:53:56,860
It has conspiracy
written all over it,

914
00:53:56,860 --> 00:54:00,071
I don't think Nico went
to a graveyard with a shovel

915
00:54:00,071 --> 00:54:04,451
and a lamp looking for a stiff
to fit his tuxedo, do you?

916
00:54:04,451 --> 00:54:06,745
The club was in
on the conspiracy,

917
00:54:06,745 --> 00:54:09,247
but what's the club's interest?

918
00:54:09,247 --> 00:54:10,832
Ask your client.

919
00:54:12,083 --> 00:54:14,628
I think you'll keep
looking for Peterson,

920
00:54:14,628 --> 00:54:18,381
client or not,
because you can't stop.

921
00:54:21,134 --> 00:54:23,678
But I'll pay you a thousand
just to sweeten the pot.

922
00:54:24,888 --> 00:54:28,266
No. Cedric, uh,
next street on the right.

923
00:54:28,266 --> 00:54:29,893
Pull over, please.

924
00:54:32,103 --> 00:54:35,815
It would be wise to
reconsider, Mr. Marlowe.

925
00:54:35,815 --> 00:54:38,777
[grim music]

926
00:54:40,487 --> 00:54:42,864
Marlowe:
Stop anywhere here, Cedric.

927
00:54:48,995 --> 00:54:51,873
26, Maple Boulevard,

928
00:54:51,873 --> 00:54:54,209
and I am not so smart
as they think I am.

929
00:54:54,209 --> 00:54:57,837
- You're welcome to come inside.
- They give you back your badge?

930
00:54:57,837 --> 00:55:01,132
No, I'm here to report
a kidnapping.

931
00:55:01,132 --> 00:55:05,387
If you find him, I will know,
and then I'll come get him.

932
00:55:05,387 --> 00:55:09,641
And when that happens,
don't try to stand in the way.

933
00:55:13,353 --> 00:55:15,021
Thanks, Cedric.

934
00:55:15,021 --> 00:55:17,190
Joe: So two Mexes came out
of nowhere and kidnapped

935
00:55:17,190 --> 00:55:18,692
this broad, is that what
you're telling me?

936
00:55:18,692 --> 00:55:21,027
That's what I'm telling
you, that and that

937
00:55:21,027 --> 00:55:23,863
she turns tricks
at the Corbata Club

938
00:55:23,863 --> 00:55:28,034
and identified as her brother a
stiff who wasn't Nico Peterson.

939
00:55:28,034 --> 00:55:31,538
Yeah, there are certain things
I'm just not gonna hear.

940
00:55:31,538 --> 00:55:33,081
They were looking
for another broad,

941
00:55:33,081 --> 00:55:35,875
someone they called Serena.

942
00:55:35,875 --> 00:55:37,294
I'm not here.

943
00:55:37,294 --> 00:55:39,254
[sighs]
His sister was kidnapped.

944
00:55:39,254 --> 00:55:42,007
You don't put it in the system,
I'll go and make a report.

945
00:55:42,007 --> 00:55:44,843
I'll go on the record,
I'll spill that Peterson

946
00:55:44,843 --> 00:55:47,387
wasn't Peterson, and that's
not news, that's a feature.

947
00:55:47,387 --> 00:55:50,974
I can never remember which
newspaper hates the mayor most.

948
00:55:50,974 --> 00:55:53,852
This will all go okay if you
don't manipulate me, okay?

949
00:55:53,852 --> 00:55:55,895
What we do,
we get you out of here,

950
00:55:55,895 --> 00:55:58,231
I take a call from
an anonymous citizen

951
00:55:58,231 --> 00:56:00,066
who saw her put in the car.

952
00:56:00,066 --> 00:56:03,570
And you, play nice, or I'll put
you at the scene as a suspect.

953
00:56:03,570 --> 00:56:04,946
It ain't what happened,
it's what I type.

954
00:56:04,946 --> 00:56:06,448
Deal.

955
00:56:06,448 --> 00:56:08,783
I'll give your pal Bernie
Ohls the dope off the record.

956
00:56:08,783 --> 00:56:10,910
Sheriff's detectives,
I can start everybody looking

957
00:56:10,910 --> 00:56:12,746
for her and they'll look hard.

958
00:56:12,746 --> 00:56:14,581
Is this good enough for you?

959
00:56:14,581 --> 00:56:17,709
- They took my .38.
- Yeah.

960
00:56:21,087 --> 00:56:23,757
There's your .38, if someone
gets killed with your .38,

961
00:56:23,757 --> 00:56:26,426
you still have a .38.

962
00:56:26,426 --> 00:56:29,179
If they ever make us record
serial numbers, it'll be fucked.

963
00:56:31,097 --> 00:56:32,932
[knocking]

964
00:56:34,934 --> 00:56:36,102
Bernie: Marlowe?

965
00:56:38,229 --> 00:56:41,900
- Detective Bernie Ohls.
- Wait in the car, Arthur.

966
00:56:41,900 --> 00:56:45,111
- Get us a drink, Marlowe.
- Scotch on the rocks.

967
00:56:48,448 --> 00:56:51,701
- She's being looked for?
- City, Sheriffs, everybody.

968
00:56:52,619 --> 00:56:54,120
Not a peep out of the brass.

969
00:56:56,289 --> 00:56:59,125
Once a bulletin goes out
nobody can kill her,

970
00:56:59,125 --> 00:57:02,212
all car alert
for Lynn Peterson.

971
00:57:02,212 --> 00:57:06,549
Mexicans driving some
sort of Tijuana spray job.

972
00:57:06,549 --> 00:57:08,843
She'll get no different
than anybody else.

973
00:57:08,843 --> 00:57:11,680
Just really look for her,
I lost her.

974
00:57:13,848 --> 00:57:16,976
When you're getting to be
an old timer,

975
00:57:16,976 --> 00:57:19,062
it's okay to get out alive.

976
00:57:19,062 --> 00:57:21,981
I rely on you to give me
good example, Marlowe.

977
00:57:24,734 --> 00:57:27,487
[instrumental music]

978
00:57:27,487 --> 00:57:29,781
Who's the frail across the way?

979
00:57:29,781 --> 00:57:31,825
Nothing frail about her, Bernie.

980
00:57:40,291 --> 00:57:45,880
Well, lay low and, uh,
consider another profession.

981
00:57:55,306 --> 00:57:57,767
[music continues]

982
00:57:57,767 --> 00:58:00,145
- Goodnight, miss.
- Goodnight, detective.

983
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,778
Hey.

984
00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:14,534
- Who hurt you?
- Mexicans looking for Peterson.

985
00:58:14,534 --> 00:58:18,913
- What were they looking for?
- For God's sakes, you tell me.

986
00:58:24,753 --> 00:58:27,380
- Coat?
- Thank you.

987
00:58:27,380 --> 00:58:30,300
[music continues]

988
00:58:39,726 --> 00:58:41,436
One could live in
a house like this

989
00:58:41,436 --> 00:58:43,897
and so much would fall away.

990
00:58:43,897 --> 00:58:47,817
That's how the other half lives
and we do pretty good.

991
00:58:51,988 --> 00:58:58,870
Clare, you haven't once told me
why you really want Nico.

992
00:58:58,870 --> 00:59:01,790
Amanda Toxteth claims
that he wasn't

993
00:59:01,790 --> 00:59:04,751
especially thoughtful
in the bedroom.

994
00:59:06,252 --> 00:59:10,298
Poor Amanda,
she played a tough game.

995
00:59:11,382 --> 00:59:14,260
Marlowe: Tell me about it.

996
00:59:14,260 --> 00:59:17,096
There's not one studio in
this town that's run by men

997
00:59:17,096 --> 00:59:20,725
who were looked at twice before
they had their first million.

998
00:59:23,228 --> 00:59:25,939
If women never liked you
when you were poor,

999
00:59:25,939 --> 00:59:28,358
that must twist you all up.

1000
00:59:28,358 --> 00:59:32,278
So they call you forth for
refreshing acts of humiliation.

1001
00:59:32,278 --> 00:59:35,281
Marlowe: Who did you learn
this from? The Ambassador?

1002
00:59:35,281 --> 00:59:38,952
Mm, the Ambassador got to
town already loaded...

1003
00:59:38,952 --> 00:59:43,373
and he'll be even richer when he
leaves, just without my mother.

1004
00:59:43,373 --> 00:59:45,124
Your mother also wanted Nico.

1005
00:59:46,835 --> 00:59:48,378
She tried to hire you too?

1006
00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:55,343
She always wants
what I want or have.

1007
00:59:55,343 --> 00:59:57,387
You mean Nico?

1008
00:59:57,387 --> 01:00:01,975
Maybe, or maybe she's just
afraid that you'll make love

1009
01:00:01,975 --> 01:00:05,895
to me before you find out
just how terrible I am.

1010
01:00:05,895 --> 01:00:07,689
That's a terrible idea.

1011
01:00:09,315 --> 01:00:11,609
- Why?
- Why?

1012
01:00:11,609 --> 01:00:15,864
Because I'm in your employ,
because you're half my age.

1013
01:00:17,991 --> 01:00:21,870
Because you're so beautiful
I'd lose my bearings.

1014
01:00:26,958 --> 01:00:30,336
What can we do then,
if we can't do that?

1015
01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:35,633
[instrumental music]

1016
01:00:35,633 --> 01:00:37,385
We can dance.

1017
01:00:43,224 --> 01:00:45,393
Clare: I spent six years
with the nuns,

1018
01:00:45,393 --> 01:00:48,521
just so my mother could
be a flash-eyed colleen

1019
01:00:48,521 --> 01:00:50,857
with her hands on her hips.

1020
01:00:50,857 --> 01:00:55,361
She had to play the virgin
for 15 years, gosh.

1021
01:00:55,361 --> 01:00:59,282
Although you surrender
in each picture, naturally.

1022
01:00:59,282 --> 01:01:01,659
Then all the while,
the ambassador

1023
01:01:01,659 --> 01:01:05,204
was advising her financially.

1024
01:01:06,915 --> 01:01:10,877
Has he ever advised
you financially?

1025
01:01:10,877 --> 01:01:12,754
You mean has he ever touched me?

1026
01:01:14,213 --> 01:01:15,798
Suppose I do.

1027
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,427
Maybe that's the wrong question.

1028
01:01:20,970 --> 01:01:22,430
- Oh!
- Pardon me.

1029
01:01:22,430 --> 01:01:25,600
[chuckles]
You're a terrible dancer.

1030
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,560
I'm a worse lover.

1031
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:29,479
You expect me to believe that?

1032
01:01:31,731 --> 01:01:34,776
[music continues]

1033
01:01:36,194 --> 01:01:39,489
- The dance is good.
- For now.

1034
01:01:44,285 --> 01:01:47,997
[sighs]
I have to be somewhere.

1035
01:01:52,293 --> 01:01:57,924
Should I come back here after?
Stay over as friends?

1036
01:01:57,924 --> 01:02:00,593
That never works, Clare.

1037
01:02:00,593 --> 01:02:02,387
I don't intend it to.

1038
01:02:06,849 --> 01:02:08,017
No.

1039
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,313
A puzzle has many pieces.

1040
01:02:14,232 --> 01:02:16,943
I don't know exactly

01:26:25,181 --> 01:26:26,433
What have you got on him?

1391
01:26:26,433 --> 01:26:29,227
Just give her the
message, Marlowe.

1392
01:26:29,227 --> 01:26:31,062
There's a few things
I want cleared up

1393
01:26:31,062 --> 01:26:32,313
before we decide anything.

1394
01:26:32,313 --> 01:26:33,565
What do you wanna know?

1395
01:26:33,565 --> 01:26:35,567
The body outside
the Corbata Club.

1396
01:26:35,567 --> 01:26:38,111
A musician who worked the club.

1397
01:26:38,111 --> 01:26:41,906
- Did you kill him?
- No.

1398
01:26:45,243 --> 01:26:46,786
Opportune?

1399
01:26:46,786 --> 01:26:49,664
He looked like me,
I like people who look like me.

1400
01:26:49,664 --> 01:26:51,916
What does Dorothy Quincannon
want from you?

1401
01:26:51,916 --> 01:26:53,751
Well, maybe she wants to
fuck with the ambassador

1402
01:26:53,751 --> 01:26:57,005
who's maybe trying to fuck
her daughter, I don't know.

1403
01:26:57,005 --> 01:26:59,299
Put it together, Marlowe,
you're the detective.

1404
01:27:00,967 --> 01:27:05,013
Everyone wants something on
somebody else, it's all just...

1405
01:27:05,013 --> 01:27:06,764
blackmail in the end.

1406
01:27:09,184 --> 01:27:11,186
I'll be in the prop house...

1407
01:27:11,186 --> 01:27:13,563
7:30.

1408
01:27:13,563 --> 01:27:15,523
Tell her I've got
what she wants.

1409
01:27:19,068 --> 01:27:21,738
[instrumental music]

1410
01:27:21,738 --> 01:27:26,117
Clare: I've just realized, this
is my mother's favorite table.

1411
01:27:26,117 --> 01:27:29,037
This is where the ambassador
advises us financially.

1412
01:27:29,037 --> 01:27:30,330
[indistinct chatter]

1413
01:27:30,330 --> 01:27:31,539
You've asked her along?

1414
01:27:31,539 --> 01:27:33,666
Yes, I felt I needed
some advice.

1415
01:27:33,666 --> 01:27:37,212
Clare: Financial?
- More like professional.

1416
01:27:37,212 --> 01:27:38,463
Mm...

1417
01:27:38,463 --> 01:27:40,423
My, my, my, it's Clare.

1418
01:27:40,423 --> 01:27:41,799
[Dorothy chuckles]

1419
01:27:41,799 --> 01:27:44,886
What a wonderful surprise,
Mr. Marlowe.

1420
01:27:44,886 --> 01:27:46,137
Tea, mother?

1421
01:27:46,137 --> 01:27:47,805
Dorothy: Scalded.

1422
01:27:47,805 --> 01:27:49,933
Let's hope he brewed it right.

1423
01:27:49,933 --> 01:27:53,311
- So a mouse can trot on it.
- So a mouse can trot on it.

1424
01:27:53,311 --> 01:27:55,188
Marlowe: You know I've so
enjoyed our separate meetings

1425
01:27:55,188 --> 01:27:58,107
that I felt the need for us
all to sit together.

1426
01:27:58,107 --> 01:28:01,402
What Mr. Marlowe means,
my dear, is that he thinks

1427
01:28:01,402 --> 01:28:03,821
he's too clever
for the both of us.

1428
01:28:03,821 --> 01:28:06,616
One of you hired me,
the other tried to,

1429
01:28:06,616 --> 01:28:08,952
so you both seem
to want the same thing.

1430
01:28:08,952 --> 01:28:11,120
Nico left you
for a girl, alright.

1431
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:14,207
A plaster mermaid
full of Mexican powder.

1432
01:28:14,207 --> 01:28:15,792
That's disgusting.

1433
01:28:15,792 --> 01:28:19,754
A subject about which you
claim to know nothing, yes?

1434
01:28:19,754 --> 01:28:22,423
Why don't you cut to the chase?

1435
01:28:22,423 --> 01:28:25,969
And ask her why she hired you.

1436
01:28:25,969 --> 01:28:28,012
To find Nico Peterson.

1437
01:28:28,012 --> 01:28:33,601
Hiring a detective might just
be the best way to suggest...

1438
01:28:33,601 --> 01:28:35,937
she doesn't know where he is.

1439
01:28:35,937 --> 01:28:37,522
Clare: What do you think, mother?

1440
01:28:37,522 --> 01:28:40,525
I'm keeping him in
a shack in Rosarito?

1441
01:28:40,525 --> 01:28:42,193
Maybe closer.

1442
01:28:42,193 --> 01:28:45,530
Why don't you tell Mr. Marlowe
what you want with him?

1443
01:28:46,656 --> 01:28:50,368
Perhaps I am trying my best...

1444
01:28:51,369 --> 01:28:53,413
to save your reputation.

1445
01:28:53,413 --> 01:28:54,872
[Clare scoffs]

1446
01:28:54,872 --> 01:28:58,960
Well, maybe, it's the
other way around, mother.

1447
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:01,212
You see, Mr. Marlowe...

1448
01:29:01,212 --> 01:29:03,715
her lover dumped her.

1449
01:29:03,715 --> 01:29:08,303
The Ambassador to England
wants done with tinsel town.

1450
01:29:08,303 --> 01:29:12,682
So she's playing the only role
left for her to play.

1451
01:29:12,682 --> 01:29:14,601
The femme fatale.

1452
01:29:14,601 --> 01:29:17,145
Her very own Medea.

1453
01:29:17,145 --> 01:29:19,230
[chuckles]

1454
01:29:19,230 --> 01:29:21,566
Oh, well!

1455
01:29:21,566 --> 01:29:24,444
It's a role that awaits
us all, my dear.

1456
01:29:26,321 --> 01:29:28,114
[shattering]

1457
01:29:32,201 --> 01:29:33,745
Huh!

1458
01:29:33,745 --> 01:29:35,079
Well...

1459
01:29:35,079 --> 01:29:38,750
You suspected one of us
would do this, but...

1460
01:29:38,750 --> 01:29:40,668
you just didn't know
which one, did you?

1461
01:29:40,668 --> 01:29:43,838
- Would've laid a dollar on you.
- Mm.

1462
01:29:43,838 --> 01:29:46,591
[sighs] You've quite
mastered the technique

1463
01:29:46,591 --> 01:29:49,093
haven't you, Mr. Marlowe...

1464
01:29:49,093 --> 01:29:50,928
of upsetting the women
in your life?

1465
01:29:50,928 --> 01:29:53,014
There are no women in my life.

1466
01:29:53,014 --> 01:29:54,474
[indistinct chatter]

1467
01:29:54,474 --> 01:29:56,559
Well, then follow her.

1468
01:29:56,559 --> 01:29:58,770
She likes older men.

1469
01:30:00,104 --> 01:30:01,439
[exhales]

1470
01:30:01,439 --> 01:30:03,107
Don't worry...

1471
01:30:03,107 --> 01:30:05,735
I'll pay for the mess,
I always do.

1472
01:30:10,740 --> 01:30:12,617
[indistinct chatter]

1473
01:30:12,617 --> 01:30:15,036
Are you okay?

1474
01:30:15,036 --> 01:30:18,623
I don't care that I'm
less than you think I am.

1475
01:30:18,623 --> 01:30:20,833
I'm always less than
people think I am.

1476
01:30:20,833 --> 01:30:22,126
[whistle blows in distance]

1477
01:30:22,126 --> 01:30:24,087
You're one of those
people who's just

1478
01:30:24,087 --> 01:30:26,631
lucky to be more
than we think you are.

1479
01:30:28,091 --> 01:30:30,802
I'll send you the balance
of what I owe you.

1480
01:30:30,802 --> 01:30:32,762
Maybe I can charge your mother?

1481
01:30:32,762 --> 01:30:35,473
- Together with a finder's fee.
- A what?

1482
01:30:35,473 --> 01:30:37,725
I found him, this afternoon.

1483
01:30:37,725 --> 01:30:39,310
Or rather, he found me.

1484
01:30:39,310 --> 01:30:41,854
I walked into my little house
and there he was.

1485
01:30:41,854 --> 01:30:45,400
- Mr. Nico Peterson.
- Where's he now?

1486
01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:49,070
He'll be waiting for you at the
prop house at Pacific Studios.

1487
01:30:49,070 --> 01:30:52,240
- 7:30 p.m.
- Why the prop house?

1488
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:53,908
I was hoping you would tell me.

1489
01:30:55,993 --> 01:30:57,161
Clare: Taxi!

1490
01:30:57,161 --> 01:30:58,121
[brakes squeal]

1491
01:31:00,039 --> 01:31:01,124
Go!

1492
01:31:01,124 --> 01:31:03,668
[engine revving]

1493
01:31:04,377 --> 01:31:06,963
[dramatic music]

1494
01:31:10,550 --> 01:31:12,468
Cedric: A car is more
than a vehicle

1495
01:31:12,468 --> 01:31:14,971
Mr. Hendricks used to tell me.

1496
01:31:14,971 --> 01:31:17,390
It's a sealed confessional.

1497
01:31:17,390 --> 01:31:19,767
A repository of secrets.

1498
01:31:19,767 --> 01:31:22,562
And this city,
devoted as it is

1499
01:31:22,562 --> 01:31:24,856
to the internal
combustion engine

1500
01:31:24,856 --> 01:31:27,567
is a city of motorized secrets.

1501
01:31:27,567 --> 01:31:30,611
You're waxing
philosophical, Cedric.

1502
01:31:30,611 --> 01:31:31,988
You have to forgive me,
Mr. Marlowe.

1503
01:31:31,988 --> 01:31:34,991
It's a habit I inherited
from my late employer.

1504
01:31:34,991 --> 01:31:39,537
He had a tendency to digress,
but you did say the prop house?

1505
01:31:39,537 --> 01:31:40,747
I did.

1506
01:31:40,747 --> 01:31:41,998
[music continues]

1507
01:31:41,998 --> 01:31:44,709
And I have to ask myself...

1508
01:31:44,709 --> 01:31:46,294
why the prop house?

1509
01:31:46,294 --> 01:31:49,714
And now you have to tell me,
Cedric, why the prop house?

1510
01:31:49,714 --> 01:31:52,216
[gun cocking]

1511
01:31:52,216 --> 01:31:55,595
Cedric: Nico Peterson was
moving Lou Hendricks' product

1512
01:31:55,595 --> 01:31:57,847
through the prop
house for years.

1513
01:31:57,847 --> 01:32:01,142
Marlowe: And the product
is from Tijuana, hmm?

1514
01:32:01,142 --> 01:32:05,021
Cedric: Hidden in a plaster
raven, the bust of Nefertiti.

1515
01:32:05,021 --> 01:32:07,732
A Virgin of Guadeloupe or a...

1516
01:32:07,732 --> 01:32:10,777
Serena Ornamental.

1517
01:32:10,777 --> 01:32:13,780
You see Mr. Hitchcock,
who could've worked wonders

1518
01:32:13,780 --> 01:32:17,909
for Pacific Pictures,
but is sadly on his way to MGM.

1519
01:32:17,909 --> 01:32:20,286
Mr. Hitchcock,
like Mr. Hendricks,

1520
01:32:20,286 --> 01:32:23,247
always liked to keep
the script to himself.

1521
01:32:24,832 --> 01:32:27,335
But many conversations,

1522
01:32:27,335 --> 01:32:30,838
overheard from this here
front seat, enabled me to do

1523
01:32:30,838 --> 01:32:34,258
what Mr. Hitchcock
always managed so adroitly...

1524
01:32:35,468 --> 01:32:37,094
to work out the plot.

1525
01:32:37,094 --> 01:32:39,722
[gunfire]

1526
01:32:39,722 --> 01:32:42,767
It was never really
about a mermaid.

1527
01:32:42,767 --> 01:32:43,935
It was always
about the contents

1528
01:32:43,935 --> 01:32:45,937
of a certain briefcase,

1529
01:32:45,937 --> 01:32:49,023
which could bring
a whole studio down.

1530
01:32:52,401 --> 01:32:55,321
[suspenseful music]

1531
01:32:57,156 --> 01:32:58,449
Nico: Clare.

1532
01:32:58,449 --> 01:32:59,617
Nico.

1533
01:33:00,618 --> 01:33:02,078
You're on your own?

1534
01:33:02,078 --> 01:33:05,331
Did you want the full
auction house, Nico?

1535
01:33:05,331 --> 01:33:07,041
Me, my mother...

1536
01:33:07,041 --> 01:33:09,877
Floyd Hanson, Lou Hendricks?

1537
01:33:09,877 --> 01:33:12,421
That would be difficult,
two of them are dead.

1538
01:33:12,421 --> 01:33:15,633
Well, you're gonna have
to start the bidding with me.

1539
01:33:15,633 --> 01:33:19,262
What I've got here
is worth a fortune.

1540
01:33:19,262 --> 01:33:21,305
Clare: Really?

1541
01:33:21,305 --> 01:33:22,890
You better show me then.

1542
01:33:25,768 --> 01:33:28,145
All of the records...

1543
01:33:28,145 --> 01:33:31,148
of the heroin which was
flowing through his studio.

1544
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,988
It's more than enough to ruin
the ambassador's reputation,

1545
01:33:36,988 --> 01:33:39,907
and the reputation
of Pacific Pictures.

1546
01:33:39,907 --> 01:33:41,576
Cedric: Nico Peterson
went missing

1547
01:33:41,576 --> 01:33:45,663
with one Serena Ornamental
and one handmade briefcase

1548
01:33:45,663 --> 01:33:48,332
packed with records
of every dope transaction

1549
01:33:48,332 --> 01:33:52,044
since he and Lou Hendricks
started business.

1550
01:33:52,044 --> 01:33:54,380
He was trying to
sell this information

1551
01:33:54,380 --> 01:33:56,215
to anyone he could find.

1552
01:33:58,259 --> 01:33:59,969
[brakes squeal]

1553
01:33:59,969 --> 01:34:03,014
Nico: I'm a book-keeper,
darling, a good one.

1554
01:34:03,014 --> 01:34:06,475
Import, export,
I kept every transaction.

1555
01:34:06,475 --> 01:34:09,478
[engine sputtering]

1556
01:34:09,478 --> 01:34:11,397
[music continues]

1557
01:34:13,024 --> 01:34:16,152
You're more than
a book-keeper, Nico.

1558
01:34:16,152 --> 01:34:18,362
You'd sell tickets
to the gates of hell.

1559
01:34:19,697 --> 01:34:22,533
Nico: Maybe that's why
you like me.

1560
01:34:22,533 --> 01:34:25,870
I never liked you, Nico.

1561
01:34:25,870 --> 01:34:27,538
[metal clanks]

1562

that sound, Clare?

1568
01:34:39,550 --> 01:34:41,135

Why are you doing this?

1574
01:34:49,352 --> 01:34:51,520
You've always played
too low, Nico.

1575

and go straight to the top.

Is he dead, Mr. Marlowe?

At last.

1591
01:35:38,609 --> 01:35:40,695
And that's why you hired me?

1592
01:35:40,695 --> 01:35:42,363
So you could finally kill him?

Tell me why
I shouldn't shop you.

1600
01:36:02,216 --> 01:36:05,177
Because he was
far too young for me?

1601
01:36:05,177 --> 01:36:07,096
Because he was evil incarnate?

1602
01:36:08,639 --> 01:36:10,099
Because he was already dead.

1603
01:36:12,143 --> 01:36:13,978

No, Bernie, you know
I only put 'em out.

I'll find inside?

Mr. Marlowe?

put your money on?

Well, the ambassador loses.

Yeah.

1638
01:38:12,763 --> 01:38:14,974

trade, don't you think?

moved beyond all that.

So, are you, uh, going to tell
me why I'm here, Mrs. Cavendish?

1658
01:39:10,112 --> 01:39:13,741
The studio needs someone to
play knight in shining armor.

[chuckles]

1660
01:39:15,159 --> 01:39:17,745

my goodbyes then.
