I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm going back

to Veracruz.

- For how long?

- I've been offered a job.

Well, wait a minute,

wait a minute.

Are you talking about

permanently moving?

I'm leaving Friday.

- Are you trying to kill me?

- No, I just want a life.

I want kids and I'm sick

of hearing myself ask for it.

Maria, how do I tell you that I

love you and make you believe it?

What do I say?

- Don't.

- No, no, no, just listen to me.

Maria...

l...

I wanna marry you.

Did you hear me?

I know you think I'm only saying

something that I think you wanna hear,

- but I really mean it.

- Chris, don't do it like this.

Chris, don't do it like this.

Not on the phone like this!

All right, it's not on the phone.

Bad idea, bad.

Let's, let's start again,

all right? Just...

I will do anything

I have to do.

Anything at all, no matter how hard it

is. Except it's very hard now to talk.

I want to marry you.

I wanna marry you...

tonight.

I'm willing to leave here.

We'll go to a justice of the peace.

- I gotta go.

- No, wait!

No, no, no, wait!

Aw...

I'm sensing...

you have been very stressed lately.

- Oh, you're right.

- Yes, I know, very stressed.

Something concerning...

Brian and another woman.

Yes, Pam, I feel it.

It's... a woman from his past.

- I don't know the nature of the relationship.

- Honey.

- One second. It could be sexual, it may not.

- Honey, honey. Could l...

- One second, sweetheart.

- No, no, honey.

- Honey, sweetheart, darling.

- It's someone that he... Wait.

- Yes?

- Honey, this is the first time...

the O'Haras have been over for dinner and I

think, maybe, it's not such a good idea that,

you know, they think this kind

of thing happens all the time.

- You know, you're right. I'm sorry. I really am.

- It's okay.

All right. Sweetheart,

was that Bill on the phone?

- No, just some public opinion poll.

- I knew that.

- I knew it was a public opinion poll.

- Excuse me. Pam?

Honey, I've developed a bit of a

headache and I think we should be going.

- Thanks for having us over.

- Oh, no, you haven't had dessert yet.

- No, no, no, we... No.

- Would you like some aspirin?

- Or some Motrin? Or Tylenol or Percodan?

- No. No. No.

- Honey, please, let's go.

- Honey, I told you. The psychic thing flips people out.

- Was that what happened, Pam? Was it the psychic thing?

- Oh, no!

Please, could I ask you,

just give us one more half hour.

- She's been working all day on this dessert.

- I have.

- You won't be sorry. One half hour more, okay?

- Please.

- Okay, fine.

- All right. Great!

Let's move into the living room.

It is such a pleasure to know you two.

- Shh! Shh!

- What?

I heard him at the phone.

- So?

He said that he loved her

and wanted to marry her.

I even know her name. Maria!

"Maria, I love you. Maria, I wanna

marry you." Just like the song.

- I was waitin' for him to start singin' and dancin'.

- Oh, my God.

This guy has got balls

this big.

- She calls right here, right under her nose.

- Oh!

Some psychic she is. Her own husband

is in love with a woman named Maria,

- and she doesn't even know it!

- I feel so sorry for her.

They are not psychic;

they're psychotic.

What kind of a woman makes an armadillo meat

loaf and God knows what was in those eggs.

- Pam.

- What?

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy killed

his first wife. We gotta get outta here.

- Let's go.

- No! No, no, no, we...

- Be right there!

- Knowing these two, they will bring the dessert to our house.

- Listen, we'll sit down and eat fast.

- Fast, fast! Eat fast!

- All we got's ice cream sandwiches.

- We'll tell 'em it's homemade.

- We need somethin' else.

- Reddi-Wip.

Very good. It was a good cover

with the psychic thing.

- You really think so?

- Yeah.

Thank you.

How'd you get all wet?

I snuck over to their house

looking for Bill.

- Yeah?

- And the sprinklers went off.

- Oh, God. Did you find him?

- No, he wasn't there.

- He wasn't there?

- No.

Give me that.

I wouldn't worry too much. We're

not gonna be invited over for dinner.

- They already think we're nuts.

- We're a perfectly normal couple. Go.

"I scream, you scream.

We all scream for ice cream."

- Great.

- Oh, thank you.

- You're really gonna like this. It's a specialty.

- Oh, honey,

- Doesn't this look great?

- Oh, yeah, looks real good.

Oh, mmm, this is wonderful. You're

gonna have to give me the recipe.

- I will.

- Okay.

Oh, it's terrific.

Mmm. Mmm!

Oh, God.

Headache, honey?

Honey, honey.

I think we'd better...

- I think we're gonna go home.

- I think it's time for us to go. Thank you very much.

- No! No, no, no!

- No, no, no.

No, no, really,

we have to go.

No, really, we... I have

an early tee time tomorrow morning.

Thanks very much

for a very interesting evening.

If you could just... If you

could just... If you could just...

Oh, the hell with this.

I'm goin' out there to find Bill.

Get your badge.

They'll never believe you're a cop.

- Oh, my God.

- Did you call the police?

- No.

- Lu, you've gotta call the police.

If I tell the police

they'll take me back to testify.

- I have to leave.

- What about him? What are you gonna do with him?

- I'll have to kill him.

- Hmm?

Brian, talk to her.

- Shut up.

Wait. Lu, wait a minute.

What do you mean? You're just gonna

kill him? That's it. You kill him?

He came here to kill me.

Shut up! Look, if he lives,

he'll tell them that you helped me.

Then they're

comin' after you.

Shut up!

Get up. Get up.

Come on.

He's probably

havin' a beer somewhere.

Sh*t.

Aaaaaaah!

Try anything,

I'll shoot you. Get out.

Come on, get up.

I don't see them.

Goddamn it.

Must have turned off.

- Come on, walk!

So how much was I worth, huh?

$25,000? $30,000?

Huh?

Keep going.

You shouldn't have come after me.

You just shouldn't have come.

I wasn't gonna testify.

Don't stop! You don't do

anything unless I tell you.

Maybe you're the guy

that killed Michael. Huh?

Are you? Did you kill Michael?

I bet you are,

you son-of-a-b*tch!

I just bet you are.

You killed Michael, didn't you?

Now I'm gonna kill you.

Get down!

If you believe in God, you

better pray for forgiveness now.

Because you got no time left.

Watch out!

Go get Bill!

Hang on, Bill!

Ah! Okay!

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

Get away

from the dock!

I'll get it!

I'm gonna get the car!

- She okay? How about you?

- Yeah.

- I'm fine. Where's Bill?

- Up there.

Ah!

Okay!

I got her!

Oo-ha!

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Whoo!

This is the final boarding call

for Flight 610...

- Yep.

- They found her on one of those islands near Seattle.

Staying with some family

named O'Hara.

- She's agreed to testify, am I right?

- I don't know yet.

We just got the call

from Seattle.

Don't worry about it. I'm catching

a plane; I'm bringin' her back.

I need to know where she is right now.

Do you follow me? That woman...

That woman...

will not testify.

Yeah. I'll call
