Into the Night Page #4

Synopsis: Ed Okin's life is somewhat out of control. He can't sleep, his wife betrays him, and his job is dull. One night, he starts to drive through Los Angeles, and he finally ends in the parking garage of Los Angeles International Airport. Moments later, a beautiful young lady jumps onto his bonnet and he finds himself being chased by four Iranians. What follows is a wild chase through the streets of Los Angeles, and a very funny one too.

I've been watching you

since you left Caper's yacht.

Very impressive.

I am?

Stop performing now, Ed.

If that's your name.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Okay. I represent

Monsieur Melville,

and I can assure you

that he can be...

far more reasonable

than the SAVAk.

"The SAVAk"?

The Shah's Secret Police.

Death Squad.

Iranian Gestapo.

Shaheen's boys.

"Shaheen's boys"?

I like you, Ed.

I do like you.

You're very good.

The stones.

What?

Where are the stones?

I can't help you.

We do understand

each other, don't we?

Oh... I don't know.

Very good.

Very impressive.

I'm sure

we'll chat again.

Can I help you, sir?

I think you just did.

- are you a guest at the hotel?

- No.

I'm waiting for someone

to pick me up.

- Who would that be?

- Uh... m-mywife.

are you aware, sir,

that it's almost 3:30

in the morning?

Really?

No, is it that late?

May I see

some identification?

Is my husband giving you

any trouble, Officers?

Diana, this guy

put a gun in my mouth.

- are you sure he was English?

- You've never heard

ofthis Frenchman?

I don't know a Frenchman.

Uh-huh.

Where are the stones?

The stones are safe.

It's all right.

The stones are safe.

What about us? Are we safe?

Hamid said he'd take care

of everything.

Hi,Jimmy.

Hey, beautiful lady.

What's happening?

Mr. Moradi in?

- Yeah.

The man's expecting you.

- I'll be right up.

Well, okay.

Good luck.

Oh, Ed, I don't know

what to say.

It's been, uh...

an experience.

I can't even giveyou a number.

I don't know where I'll be.

Yeah, well, it's probably

better the less I know.

Yeah.

Don't say a word to anyone.

Nobody would believe it anyway.

I've, uh, got some cash.

Swiss francs.

It's not that much.

Oh, no, no, no.

No, really, take it.

No, absolutely not.

Be careful, okay?

Good-bye, Ed.

Think I can get a cab

at this hour?

I hope she'll be okay.

Something wrong?

Yeah, I forgot

to give her something.

You can leave it with me.

No, I think I should

give it to her myself.

Thank you.

Come on.

Hello?

whydon't you

hire yoursel fa keeper?

Hello?

Is anybody home?

I will take care ofthe girl,

andyou will take wilbur

Anybody home?

Sandra?

So, we meet again,

Count Dracula.

Dracula?

Yes, that's who

he says you are.

Oh, my costume perhaps.

No. He thinks

you're the real thing.

Uh-huh.

Right out of MacDougal's

House of Horrors.

hallucination.

The human mind

is often inflamed

with strange complexes.

I suggest you consult

your physician,

Mr. Talbert.

Take him along

with you, please.

So there you are.

I'm glad to see

you've recovered.

I didn't expect

to see you here, Doctor.

out the window for?

I think I'll need two.

What are we gonna do?

Go to the police.

Thank you.

And tell them what?

How would you explain

whatyou were doing

up in Hamid's penthouse?

I was worried about you.

Some woman who jumps

into your car at the airport?

That's the truth.

Well, the truth

will put me in jail.

We should try

to see Jack.

Jack Caper?

Yes, the one

with the boat.

The one with the wife?

He's a very rich man.

I was his mistress.

I, um, I was modeling

and, uh,

t-trying to, you know,

make it as an actress.

Mostly, I hung out a lot.

I-I metJack at a party.

we went to Europe together

for fun, and it just

sort of evolved.

He gave me an apartment

in Westwood, and, um,

credit cards, my Porsche.

It was easy. It was nice.

- How long?

- Five years.

Five years?

You must have been 16.

I'm not as young as I look.

About six months ago,

I get this call from his lawyer.

I had to move out.

My credit cards were canceled.

He let me keep the Porsche.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

He won't talk to me.

What aboutyou?

What do you do?

I work

for Communtronics.

A recording studio?

I'm an aerospace engineer.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

That sounds fascinating.

Does it really?

Well, yeah, sort of.

What wereyou doing

at the airport?

- It's kind ofhard to explain.

- Try me.

I can't sleep.

Soyou went to the airport?

My life isn't working out

somehow.

Soyou went to the airport?

My wife is unfaithful to me.

Oh. Your wife's

having an affair.

That makes it sound romantic.

- Well, maybe it is.

- Thank you.

- Well, maybe it is.

- Thank you.

Sorry.

Well?

Let's make it

on the beach.

Bud, it's too cold.

It's cold, my ass.

I'll buy you a new coat.

Get outta here.

Hi, Moe. Hi, Larry.

Hi, Curly.

I thought you were gonna

feed the birds.

You said you'd feed them.

Carlotta was supposed to,

but she's offthis week.

You've got to feed the birds.

Don't make me

feed the birds.

I'm afraid of them.

You're afraid of everything.

They're too loud, Bud.

They're loud

because they're hungry.

Ooh.

I feel stupid

in this outfit.

You may feel stupid,

but you look sensational.

Do I have to wear

the dumb sash?

Oblige me.

I'm gonna put this on video.

Mmm.

Quiet, Moe!

It's 7:
30 in the morning,

for chrissake.

Who the hell are you?

Won't you come in?

Holy sh*t.

Charlie?

Oh, God,

I hope Charlie's all right.

- Where's my brother?

- Your brother is well.

- Where is he?

- He's not here. He fled.

Now, if you'll come

with us.

- Do we have a choice?

- Very droll. Very amusing.

Hey, Diane, come here!

Help! Help!

We better call the police!

Colin Morris

was a superb man.

He told me that

you were also very good.

Colin Morris?

The Englishman?

- Yes, the Englishman.

- He worked for you?

Colin was my employee, yes.

What was your name, sir?

When I give you the stones,

you will let us go?

I hardly think so.

I'll need you

to appease Shaheen.

She'll want blood.

Yours will do.

if you're not gonna let us go,

why should I help you?

You're fond of Ed, yes?
