In the three, Nicholson has now played son, brother and father. In this one, Nicholson is a wealthy wine dealer who has distanced himself from his wife with his philandering and from his son with his negligence. After he steals a diamond necklace with the help of a safecracker partner, Victor, things start coming apart. His wife sets out to interrupt what she thinks is another one of his weekend dalliances, but is really his trip to pawn the jewels.

- He's not here.

- Where is he?

- He said he was going to get you.

- Well, his car's here.

- It's been here. He was in Napa when he found out.

- You don't know where he was.

He called me.

So this is the guy?

The man you cared

so much about-Alex!

What was I supposed to say, Jason?

When? How?

You didn't waste any time, did you?

You moved right on in.

Put away the knife.

You told him how to find us.

You had the number.

No, I threw that away.

You told him how to find us.

He didn't care, okay?

He was glad she left!

Yeah, so were you.

Yes.

But not about what happened.

Her loss, your gain.

Her house.

Her bed.

Her life.

Oh, Jason.

Hey, get another key at the front desk.

Okay. I'll get it.

Newscaster] And now that the high

pressure system has moved through the area...

- we can expect blue skies

over the entire central region.

Announcer Continues, Indistinct]

Vic?

What's the matter?

This is not an oceanfront suite in Marbella.

Did you notice that?

There are no flowers

and champagne from the management.

I don't- I don't see

a Swiss chocolate on my pillow.

My masseuse is not at the door.

And I am f***ing dying, Alex.

I do not intend to suffocate

in a county hospital...

because you are f***ing sentimental.

Take it easy, Vic.

So, assuming

that we ever find the kid...

we'll use a blowtorch on him...

until he cooperates.

For example.

Don't worry, Vic.

We'll find him.

We got a week.

Hi. He made it home without you.

How, uh, resourceful.

I've been touring every marina and dock

for 50 miles lookin' for you.

- You should've called home.

- You don't just walk out of a hospital with a head injury.

My head's fine.

Isn't it?

Are you hungry?

Tell him.

Tell him.

He seemed fine.

Did you eat lunch?

I don't think you've even

said hello to her, Alex.

Hello, Gabby.

"Did you miss me, honey?"

What are you doing?

No wonder you never

got home on time.

We've got to ignore

the personal history here, Jason...

and do some business.

- Who's your English pal?

- These are dangerous people.

You don't steal

from dangerous people.

Do you know he ran us

off the f***ing road?

Be comin' after you too.

You figured that out yet?

I'm countin' on it.

Do the smart thing

once in your life.

Return the jewels.

I'll split the commission he owes me with you.

It'll set you up.

- I can't bring her back, Jason.

- You don't give a f***!

- You're wrong!

- Yeah?

If you two didn't get ambitious...

she'd be on the front porch sippin'

white wine right now!

It wasn't her!

It was me!

Then you killed her yourself.

You cannot expect him

to act normal, Alex.

What about you?

What can I expect from you?

Don't look at me like that.

Did you try to make him feel better?

- Yes, of course.

- Show me.

What?

Show me exactly what you did

to try and make him feel better.

Stop it, okay? We talked.

I make him breakfast. That's all.

- You slept with him.

- No, I did not.

Yeah, you did.

You f***ed him!

- You're crazy.

- Where? On the bed?

On the floor?

Up against the wall?

No place, okay?

No place!

At least clean my goddamn sheets!

Huh?

Baby, did I hurt you?

Baby, are you all right?

I didn't mean to hurt you, baby.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

He's only a kid.

He's a thief.

Him and his mother.

What are you talking about?

Chica, you gotta help me.

Hey, get off my ass.

What? You afraid

I'm gonna use this on you?

I'm sorry that you and your mother-

Don't offer me

your f***ing condolences!

I was never the mastermind

behind this venture, Jason.

- When we were following you-

- "We"?

Oh.

You and Alex.

I already gave the goddamn thing

back to Alex.

Just like that?

Why don't I believe you?

I don't give a sh*t

what you believe.

With everything that's happened,

you can have it.

You can choke on it.

Yeah. You a**holes

deserve each other.

Alex?

Time to pack.

- Vic.

- Where is it?

What?

The necklace, Alex.

He'll make a move soon, Vic.

He told me he already did.

You talked to Jason?

You think you can cut me out?

Try a little family endeavor,

you and Miss Burrito?

What did he say, Vic?

Let me improve your concentration.

This is an acupuncture point.

- Where is it?

- I swear to God, Vic-

I refuse to die

in a f***ing prison clinic!

God, Vic, you've lost your mind.

You're not getting enough oxygen

to think good.

This is pitiful.

Now just get down here.

What a mess.

Lift up. Lift up.

Just lift up.

Oh, Jesus.

Yeah. Yeah.

Well, Vic, at least you

got to die in your own clothes.

That's somethin'.

- Any calls?

- Yeah.

Somebody from the police department.

It's on your desk.

Uh, parking tickets.

No. Somethin' about the Reeses.

Thank you for calling Air France.

For information and reservations

on our next flight...

at 8:
00 a. m.

from New York's Kennedy Airport...

please press "2."

For recorded information,

press "3."

Jason.

Wait. I need to talk to you.

We did that already.

He stole it from Mrs. Reese.

I used to help her put it on.

She couldn't do the hook

with her nails.

I always wanted to see what

it would feel like around my neck.

I never did.

Now they're going to blame me.

Move your hair.

It's heavy.

They're beautiful.

My mother always say,

"Enough money make any woman beautiful. "

Your mother's wrong.

Jason. Jason, let's just go.

I'm not keeping it.

I'm turning him in...

when I'm ready.

What's this?

There's a stone missing.

I bought the boat.

Then don't pretend

you're better than me.

I'm not.

I've gotta pick up some supplies.

I'll be back at the boat

at the end of the day.

- Okay.

- Maybe I'll see you.

It's not so easy for me.

I know that.

- Uh-huh.

- I found it.

Good news, baby.

Come quickly.

Are you sure he's not here?

I told you.

He has things to do.

Yeah, right.

It's in here.

- It's not here.

- What?

- I said it's not here.

- Look on the other side.

Hello, Alex.

- You set me up!

- What?

He knew I'd call you.

- You had the choice.

- No, I didn't.

You want it so bad?

Take it.

Get outta here.

The key's in the truck.

Take the f***ing thing!

Go. Go!

- He's gonna blow a hole in my guts!

- Don't move!

- Don't do this.

- You did.

No. Not like this.

This is an execution.

Gabby?

Gabby!

Why don't you just

get on the boat and head out.

Let me take my chances.

You've taken enough chances already.

You need a doctor.

Oh, my God.

What happened? Alex!

- Help me up.

- No.

- Help me up!

- Please, Alex, don't.

- Please, we can make it to the car, baby.

- Alex, no.

Baby, I knew-

I knew you would- I knew you-

- Take it.

- Huh?

I thought I wanted it, but I don't.

You're not that stupid.

Yes, I am.

You cant just leave him like that.

There's an ambulance on the way.

I'm not waiting.

Neither should you.

You need to hurry.
