Jeopardy Page #4

- Well, that's where my husband is.

Last time I was with

another guy's wife...

...she was perfectly happy

to forget her husband.

Quit worrying.

From my angle you got what it takes.

You'll find another guy in a breeze.

If he dies, I promise you one thing,

I'll kill you.

That puts you in a class

with 10,000 cops.

They all got the same idea.

- It's a good idea.

- Shut up.

That hurt, didn't it?

I like being alive.

I like eating and drinking.

I like dice,

and I like talking.

I like a woman.

I like...

I don't like cops.

You'll splash that beautiful build

all over the road.

You're built for speed,

but not that kind.

- You've never been married, have you?

- Yeah, once.

She had your kind of cat.

She was...

- Where's the jack?

- The beach.

We tried to lift the timber off with it.

Oh, that's fine. That's fine.

- Don't go away.

- Where would I go?

Yeah, that's right.

Pretty neat, huh?

Mustn't touch.

Trying to kill me, huh?

You're wasting an awful lot of energy,

honest. You're not going no place.

You're just the right weight.

Yeah.

Put me down.

Help! Help!

Help!

Help! Help!

Help!

Help! Bobby, yell.

Help!

Yell, Bobby.

Help!

Bobby, go up high.

Maybe they can't see you.

Run, Bobby, go up high. Run.

Get on the platform and keep yelling.

Wave the towel, Bobby. Wave the towel.

Help! Help!

Bobby. Bobby, yell.

Help!

Help!

Over here, we're in trouble.

How are the fishing today?

Bobby, go up higher.

No, wait a minute. Fire.

Bobby, build up the fire.

Throw something on it, Bobby.

No, Bobby.

More stuff. That won't burn.

Get something from...

That's it.

Get something from the trailer.

Anything that'll burn.

Get it down there, Bobby.

Throw them on the fire.

Hurry, son. Hurry.

Help!

Help!

No, Bobby, that's not...

Put everything on it.

Grab the tarp out of the trailer.

Hurry, boy, run.

Hurry. Hurry, Bobby.

Throw it right on there.

Help!

Help!

Why didn't they stop?

What's turista mean?

They think we're tourists, Bobby.

Tourists out for an outing.

They didn't know we're in trouble.

You think maybe the guy will see

the smoke? Maybe they've gone for help.

Maybe.

Bobby.

Bobby, you'd better get out of here.

- Go up on the beach, dry out your clothes.

- I'm okay, Dad.

I know, but you're gonna need your strength

for when your mother gets here.

She might be alone. She'll need help,

somebody she can depend on.

- Okay, Dad. There'll be other boats along.

- Attaboy.

Wait until you hear how loud I yell

next time. They'll be sure to stop.

- One thing I haven't told you.

- Don't you know to buy two tires?

My boy is back there.

One good spare and a cheap retread,

just in case.

Can't you understand what

it'll mean if my husband drowns...

...and the boy has to wait

for someone?

I knew a guy used to take

the nail out of a flat...

...and throw it into the street.

- It's deserted. No one knows he's there.

Once he fixed seven flats

from the same nail.

How would you feel

if it were your own son?

Frankly, I'm not a family man.

I've wondered what I would do

if it ever came to something like this.

I wonder if every wife wonders.

Pretty neat, huh?

Yeah, pretty neat.

Those telegraph wires

are gonna be hot...

...when they pull those jerks

out of the ditch.

But getting away is my business.

It's my business to know

those police cars travel in pairs.

We're gonna hole up for a while.

Where do you go from here?

We go to La Paz.

What are you going to do there?

I don't know.

One thing at a time. You can't plan

too far ahead in this business.

- You're amazing.

- Yeah, that's what I always tell myself.

What are you gonna do about your

clothes? You left your coat back there.

Those numbers on the back

of your shirt...

I'll find a guy someplace,

and we'll switch.

My husband is your size.

Honest?

There are other things

at the beach you could use.

For instance?

Identification papers which would prove

you were Doug Stilwin.

They match the registration papers

on this car.

Now that the other police car

has gone by...

...you could spare the time.

Hasn't your husband got other clothes

than the ones he's got on?

No...

...but get him out

and they would dry.

With his clothes, his identification...

...I could go into the stores for you,

to buy food for you.

We'd look like an ordinary couple

traveling together on a fishing trip.

His clothes...

...his identification...

...all on the beach.

- That's good perfume you got on you.

- Yes.

I like cheap perfume.

It don't last as long,

but it hits harder.

Is there anything else

your husband's got I could use?

I can't think of anything.

- I can.

- What?

His wife.

With his clothes,

his papers and his wife...

...I could be snug as a bug in a rug.

I'd do anything to save my husband.

Anything.

I only like a woman when she smiles...

...otherwise, what's the kick?

How long since you...

...talked with a woman?

I could get rough.

How long since you talked?

Saving your kisses for your husband?

Bobby, get up on the beach.

Dad, will you take me out

on one of those old fishing boats?

We could catch some barracuda

and some starfish and crabs.

Bobby, get up on the beach. Get out.

Dad. Dad, someone's coming.

I told you.

I told you Mom would be back.

Son...

Hey, Mom.

Hey, Mom.

It's all right, Doug, I have help now.

Out of the water, Bobby, quick.

It'll take all the car's got

and a lot of luck.

We'll try lifting the stuff off of him.

Stay with him. I'll go up

and tie the rope on the car.

Hang on, Doug, hang on.

It's going to be all right, darling.

Just hold on to me.

Get ready.

We'll lift with the next big wave.

Now.

Again. Again.

Now.

It didn't move. Give it more.

I'll try again.

It's no good.

I'm getting out of here.

What's the matter? Won't it work?

It won't work, the car won't pull.

You're a cat all right,

but what do you expect me to do?

There's gotta be another way.

You never give up, do you?

Untie that rope.

Take hold of that.

That's right. All right,

now throw up the rope.

Shove the end under the piling

like a crowbar.

Like you're prying off

the lid of a can.

Are there some rocks under there

you can grab hold of?

Yes.

You got it?

I've got it.

Have you got it wedged

under those rocks so it'll lift?

I think so.

Good. Now, it won't lift the stuff far,

and we gotta work fast.

Get ready to yank him out.

It's all right, darling.

We'll get you out.

Now.

It moved. Give it more.

I'll try again.

You'll be all right now, darling.

Stay with him, Bobby.

I'll get the blankets.

His clothes I got. How about you?

I'll hate you every minute of the time.

But I said I'd go with you, and I will.

- You mean it.

- Yes.

I thought I had a woman figured

from every angle.

I thought you'd come begging.

You're sure with that husband of yours?

He's a lucky guy.

A little of that kind of luck

I could've used myself.

Better wrap some more blankets

around him.

Goodbye.
