theywere looking for?

No!

You never

saw these guys--

I told you five times!

I don't know what

they were after!

Jesus Christ!

Sir, this woman

says she came...

- to pick up a coat

from Mrs. Herman.

- We're not married!

Bud, what happened?

- Where's Christie?

- She's not here. Okay, Diana?

You a friendofMr. Herman's?

Uh, what's going on?

I just came here

to pick up my coat.

- What coat?

- My, uh, my big down coat.

I loaned it to Christie.

She told me to pick it up today.

- There it is over there.

- Will you get her out of here?

Wait a second.

What the f*** are you clowns

gonna do about this?

- Bud--

- Good-bye, Diana.

All right, Mr. Herman,

we know you're on probation

for possession of cocaine.

I'm gonna ask you one more time.

do you know what they were

looking for?

I don't f***in'

believe this.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have

to get some information from you

before I can let you go.

Oh, sure.

Would you just walk me

to my car?

Sean,Jeff, come on,

get out ofthe car.

These men work for me.

Ed.

Uh, Pierre,

come on out

and meet Sheriff--

Peterson.

Sheriff Peterson.

Sheriff Peterson,

this is my husband, Ed.

And this is our

good friend, Pierre,

from Paris.

Can't tell you

how pleased I am

to meet you.

I--

Pierre doesn't

speak English.

He's such a good cook

though, who cares?

well, it's nice

to meet you all.

if you'll just--

Oh, I'm sorry.

Um, my name

is Mrs. Ed O-O-- C-Cohen.

Uh, C-o-h-e-n.

Um, I live at 1234

Malibu Canyon Road.

Malibu, California.

And our number

is 456-2199.

And our number

is 456-2199.

That's fine. we'll, uh,

most likely be in touch with you

within the next two days or so.

Oh, look at the time! Honey,

we're going to be really late!

Oh, you're right.

It was nice

meeting you, Sheriff.

Thank you so much.

Uh, Sean,Jeff,

could you walk Pierre over

to the Roberts' house?

We're so late as it is,

and it's only a block from here.

See you later, Pierre.

Bye, Sheriff.

So, uh, are you having...

a nice time in America?

I know it's here somewhere.

"Somewhere"?

Yeah, I had to use it once.

I ruined a silk blouse.

Must have been awful

for you.

There it is.

The only thing

I can't handle is snakes.

At this point, a snake

would be reassuring.

Now what?

Well-- Well...

the grounds are crawlin'

with servants during

the day.

We wait here till dark.

You're kidding.

It's only noon.

Mmm.

Ah.

Try to rest.

Get some sleep.

Sleep here?

Diana--

I'm gonna try

to grab a nap.

Diana?

You scared the sh*t outta me.

It's dark.

I've been watching you

sleep for nine hours.

Can we go now?

Oh, boy,

I really conked out.

Yes, you did.

Mmm.

This thing's locked.

No, it comes off.

Maybe it did once.

You must be stronger

than you look.

Jack?

What's happened to you?

They say my blood's

gone bad on me.

I'm buying it by the case

like champagne.

Are you, uh, in pain or--

I can't even get

any interesting drugs.

It's good to see you, Peach.

I couldn't figure out

what Joan was doing here.

I had no idea.

After years of compulsive

spending, she's finally...

taking an interest

in estate planning.

Did she tell you I called?

When?

When?

Jack, I've been trying

to get ahold of you

for six months.

It's Joan.

That b*tch.

She's very thorough.

Who's this?

Oh, um, Ed Okin.

I got myself into trouble,

and he's the only one I've

been able to count on.

- What is this?

- It's an orgy.

You're trespassing.

Get them out.

If they won't leave,

call the police!

Larry, disregard that.

- You are endangering his life!

- Get her out, Larry.

Whoeveryou are,

or thinkyou are,

there have been a dozen

just like you.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to come here.

You better hurry

and tell me the problem.

Hasi's dead.

Hasi's dead?

Yeah.

Hamid too.

How?

Hasi sent me to Zurich

to get some stones

out of a safety box.

Theywere left

to him and--

He needed money in a hurry,

and he used you to get 'em

into the country.

That little sh*t.

People have been trying

to kill me too.

Yeah, Larry told me

about the men in the boat.

Must be Shaheen.

Hasi's aunt?

Did you ever meet her?

Hard as nails.

She's got a deal

in escrow.

Major development

downtown.

Escrow closes in a week,

and she's gotta come up

with a bundle.

She called me

for a short-term loan,

a big one,

but, uh,

I didn't need the headache.

She mentioned that she might

take Hasi in as a partner,

if he could

raise enough cash.

She had to know

about the stones.

Wait a minute. This is all

about a real estate deal?

- She can have them.

I'll keep my mouth shut.

- A real estate deal?

Honey, you know enough

to get 'em locked up

or deported.

My wife sells real estate.

Not to mention blackmail

and murder.

It's not just the stones

anymore.

You're gonna have

to negotiate with Shaheen.

Negotiate?

Offer to sell her the stones.

She'll understand that.

- What about the Frenchman?

- What Frenchman?

Someone else who wants to kill us.

Well, whoever he is,

he can't possibly be

as dangerous as Shaheen.

- What do we do?

- Go around by my office.

The number's on the Rolodex.

- Shaheen Parvizi.

- Parvizi, right.

I'll just

wait outside.

Okay.

You get out of the country

and start again.

This'll probably be

the best thing that ever

happened to you, Peach.

I thought you hated me.

Bye. I'll miss you.

Take care, Peach.

I will.

Can we borrow a car?

Mr. Caper said

take any car you want.

This is nice.

The keys

are inside.

Be careful, huh?

See you at the airport.

Okay.

Banzai.

You've gotta go.

Mrs. Caper is really

pissed off.

Which one

is Mrs. Caper's car?

I'm not armed.

Those are not

for you.

Are they for me?

But only three.

For good faith.

- Whose good faith?

- Yours and mine.

- Where are the other three?

- Diana's hiding them as we speak.

- Where?

- I don't know.

- I should believe that?

Can I help you?

Wherever they are right now,

it'll be somewhere where they

can be discovered by anyone...

or destroyed,

so we don't have much time.

do you have the money?

At this bulk, Miss Bailey,

I can give you

a very good price.

Whatever it costs.

You only get married once.

Only when she's sure

about her safety, she'll call.

She'll tell you where they

can be found. You'll never

hear from her again.

Then you wait for the call

with me as long as it takes.

No, she makes the call

when we're reunited,

when I'm safe too.

You expect me to believe

you won't take the other half?

Good faith.

We could've taken them all.

How do you know she

has not already run away,

Ieft you behind with me?

I don't. It's a risk

we'll both have to take.

This girl goes with anyone

who takes care ofher.

She gives herself away

like a fool.

She has nothing ofher own,

only what's given

or what she takes.

This is a foolish risk.

Right now

there's really no choice.

for you maybe.

Aren't they beautiful?

Oh, yes. Gorgeous.

Mrs. Parvizi will be by
