give out the information about our clients.

I know, you're a couple of

high class fellas. -Thank you.

Revealing anything confidential is

against the ethics of our establishment.

That's right. Honesty is the best policy.

-Of course.

But in your case, inasmuch as you're

a personal friend of Mr Reynolds

Thanks. I knew you'd come through.

-Got it!

Here it is. We don't have his address.

He must have called for the picture.

But he couldn't have been a very

good friend of yours, mister.

Because his name is not George Reynolds.

It isn't? Well, what is it?

It's a...

Huh?

Here.

-It's Raymond Rakubian.

Rakubian?

What's so unusual about that? The

picture's signed 'Ray' isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah!

Thanks!

Bigelow.

Are you all right? Can I get you

anything? -No, no thanks.

Do you know this man?

No. No, I don't think so. -Are you sure

you've never seen him? -I'm quite sure.

Does the name Raymond Rakubian

mean anything to you?

No, I've never heard of him. Why?

-He also uses the name George Reynolds.

This is Reynolds?

That's right. -Well where can we find him?

-That's what I want to know.

Tell me something, Halliday.

You're the Controller here.

How come you didn't know

about that bill of sale?

Philips made that deal before I came to

work here. -Ya, but you still keep records.

Don't you? -For some reason,

which is none of my business,

Philips preferred to keep that

among his personal papers.

Now does that answer your question?

You came in here today asking for

some information that you needed.

And I tried to be as

cooperative as I could.

But now you're beginning to annoy me.

So get out before I throw you out.

You know, you really frighten me.

Well, it's about time

you showed up Bigelow.

Go ahead, Dave.

Real cute ain't you, Bigelow?

Just real cute.

Marla didn't lose much time getting a

hold of you guys, did she? -Shut up!

Let's go Bigelow!

Look at him. He can't take it.

Soft in the belly.

You do that again and

I'll kick your face in.

Lay off, Chester. Cut it out.

-Shut up! Who asked you?

Better let him answer it.

The clerk might know he's in.

Go ahead, Bigelow.

Hello?

-Frank.

Frank, why did you hang up on me?

I've been trying to get you for hours.

I'm sorry, Paula. I was in a hurry.

Well, don't be in such a hurry this time.

You didn't give me a chance to finish

what I had to say. -It's a dame.

I wanted to tell you that McGowan

was in hollering his head off

because you didn't go over the books.

Tell McGowan to get another auditor.

Sure. Sure, I'll just do that little thing

and lose the best paying account we've got.

Do as I tell you, Paula.

Frank are you...are you drunk?

Paula...

How much have we got in the bank?

-About...2200 dollars.

Draw it out tomorrow.

Sure.

Then what do we do, skip

town without paying our bills?

Forget the bills. You know that

coat you always wanted? Buy it.

You are drunk.

You know if I didn't have such

a good character I'd be tempted

to take advantage of your

intoxicated state, Mr Bigelow.

I'm not drunk, Paula.

Well then, don't tell me that one day

away from me can affect you this way?

Cut it short!

Paula.

-Yes?

I'm sorry I...I left you.

I never realized howmuch I loved you.

But I know it now.

Oh, Frank. Frank, darling.

I love you too, so very much.

Please come home.

I miss you terribly.

Like I said. Cut it short.

I'd just love to let

you have it, Bigelow.

Let's go, Chester. This guy's kept

us waiting long enough. Now!

Walk in front of me Bigelow.

And keep your mouth shut. If you so

much as look cross-eyed at anybody

I'll blow the back of your skull out.

This Bigelow's real cute. He wanted to get tough with Chester. He don't know Chester.

Did you get the picture? -Don't I always

get what Mr. Majak sends me after?

Majak?

That's right.

I'm the dealer who bought

the iridium from Philips.

I get it.

You have Rakubian unload stolen stuff

on Philips to help out Marla here.

And then you buy it back from him. Oh, you

certainly made a sucker out of Philips.

What is it, Mr. Bigelow?

Exactly what is on your mind?

I'm looking for Raymond Rakubian.

Why?

Well, now Marla has told you everything else

I'm sure she must have told you that too.

You don't expect me to

believe this conversation?

So, what is on your mind?

I mean, underneath.

You forced your way into my affairs

and now I want to know why.

I just told you. I'm looking

for Raymond Rakubian.

Don't get cute. I'm just

itching to work you over.

Soft in the belly. Can't take it.

See. What'd I tell you?

Can't do that to Chester.

I'm gonna blow your guts out. -Easy.

-Lay off Chester. Not now.

Look at him.

He's so scared of Chester,

he'll talk now.

He's not afraid, Chester.

You can tell from a man's

eyes when he is afraid.

Look at his eyes.

I'm telling you, Majak.

You better keep him away from me or

he's really gonna have to use that gun.

Go away, Chester. Please.

Do what I tell you, my boy. Please.

And help Dave.

Ah, you're in pain.

He's an unfortunate boy.

He's psychopathic.

He's unhappy unless he gives pain.

He likes to see blood.

Come with me, Mr. Bigelow.

Raymond Rakubian was my nephew.

He could not possibly have tried to

kill you. He's been dead, five months.

I'm afraid you have been sidetracked.

Provided it is true, that somebody

made an attempt on your life.

Somebody made an attempt again today.

I had no reason to kill you, believe me.

What do you mean you had no reason?

I notarized a certain bill of sale.

You notarized a bill of sale

for Reynolds, not Rakubian.

What I told you is true.

I had no reason to kill you.

That's a closet, Mr. Bigelow.

And under other circumstances...

you could go home now.

But...

Now you present a problem.

You know too much and I am in danger.

Chester!

-Suppose I were able to prove to you

that I only want to find the

person who tried to kill me?

I won't cause you any trouble.

You know I can go to jail for ten years

for this little business? Ten years!

At my age that's...that's my life.

That means my entire life.

With my life I do not take chances.

I am sorry, believe me.

You want Joe to go with you?

-No.

Just Bigelow and me.

And baby makes three.

-But Majak!

Goodbye Mr. Bigelow and...

Forgive me.

-Let's go, Bigelow.

I guess you won't be

there to see me off.

You tried to make a boob out

of me in front of Majak.

You shouldn't have done that, Bigelow.

I don't like that

I'm gonna enjoy this, Bigelow.

I done jobs like this before.

I knocked off guys I could like.

But I don't like you, Bigelow.

I never liked that puss of yours

from the minute I seen it.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Ain't scared yet are you, Bigelow?

But you'll be scared.

Good and scared.

I think I'll give it to you in the belly.

You don't like in the belly.

Go for it. Try it.

I'd just love you to try it, Bigelow.

Why don't you try it?

Go ahead.

Didn't have the nerve, did you Bigelow?
