Narrow Margin Page #2

A helicopter will fly us where she is.

I'll pick her up.

Come back the same way.

Nobody knows anything about her.

Leo's in for a nice surprise.

Meantime, get your warrant.

- What if she won't talk?

- She'll talk.

- You know this for a fact?

- I'll promise her protection.

I'll offer her relocation.

She has to talk.

Shouldn't you find out

if she'll cooperate?

There's no phone.

She might just take off.

- Where is this place?

- In Canada.

I can't authorize this

without checking with the director

of branch and area operations.

I have to follow procedure.

This is Leo Watts.

We've got him for Murder One.

You understand what that means?

I do. I still have to check.

- What's the matter with you?

- Nothing.

Why are you doing this again?

- Doing what?

- Last year we had him.

You put me in your bureaucratic blender,

- and we lost him.

- You had uncorroborated statements

from an informant doing hard time

who'd sell his own mother.

In fact, he did try that,

except his mother had been dead

for 10 years.

You want to make the announcement?

Television cameras are an aphrodisiac to you.

You could be on the news.

Does that satisfy you?

Our job is to convict criminals,

not to have them acquitted.

I'll conduct business in a proper way,

whether it pleases you or not.

I don't like the implications

of what you're saying.

Let's go.

We're going.

We're going now.

Not without my authorization.

Why does he have to fly so low?

We're not low.

The ground's high.

See?

Now we're high.

I hate these things.

Sorry, sir.

A little turbulence in the thermals

on the mountain's windward side.

I don't want to know about thermals.

You have to admit,

the scenery's spectacular.

If I want scenery, I'll get a postcard.

- How much longer?

- We'll be there in five minutes.

- That's too long.

- What does she look like?

I don't care what she looks like.

I don't like the company she keeps.

You realize when we go down,

nobody will find us except

some f***ing moose.

You think top gun up there can tell

if somebody's following us?

Like what, a condor?

There it is.

Keep the motor running, OK?

It's warm.

Miss Hunnicut?

I'm Detective Sergeant Dominick Benti,

Los Angeles Police Department.

With me is Deputy District

Attorney Robert Caulfield.

We know you're in there.

We'll wait all day out here if we have to.

Real cold out here.

Hope we don't have to.

Can I see some identification, please?

What do you want?

I think you know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You were witness to a murder.

We'd like you to testify.

I never saw anything.

How did you find me?

Constance Billings told us.

She said you saw a lot.

I have nothing to say.

You wouldn't happen to have a drink,

would you?

You're on duty.

I only drink when I'm on duty.

How do I know who you are?

You saw our ID.

It could be fake. I wouldn't know.

If we were going to do you some harm,

we'd have done it already.

There's coffee on the stove.

- Do you have any beer?

- No.

Nice place.

- Thanks.

- Jesus! She really doesn't have beer.

Miss Hunnicut, we'd really like you to

come back and testify.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything.

I'm not going to testify.

Aren't you pleasant.

I really have nothing to say to you.

- I'd like you to leave.

- You don't realize your situation.

I know exactly the situation I'm in.

I don't think you do.

We can protect you.

If you stay here, they're gonna find you.

There's no reason for anyone

to come after me.

I'm not testifying.

- I have a subpoena.

- Let me see it.

I can get one.

I think you should leave.

Lady, you're kidding yourself.

You think those guys would come up here.

You, being the one who could put

Leo Watts in the gas chamber,

and you tell them you're not testifying,

and they'd say,

"Wow, that's a relief. Thanks."

"You have a nice day."

Then they'd turn around and go home?

They'd never find me.

- We did.

- I'll take my chances.

Do you have the keys to that car?

On the table.

I don't suppose there's a back door,

is there?

- No.

- How about a window?

Yes. It's in the bathroom.

You get to that window, all right?

Keep low. Wait for me there.

Go! Go!

Now!

What have you done to me?

Nobody knew where I was.

Sorry. How could I know

they were following us.

Aren't you supposed to?

Isn't that your job?

How could you let somebody follow you?

Where's the closest telephone?

The train's slowing down.

How far to the station?

About a half mile.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

Where's the closest big town?

- I beg your pardon.

- A big city with an airport.

Where's the nearest one?

East, about 100 miles.

- Which way is this train heading?

- West, of course.

Vancouver's as big as you get.

This train goes to Vancouver.

- How long does that take?

- You arrive Vancouver 10:40 a.m.

You're kidding?

No, you're not kidding.

I'd like a private compartment.

Sorry. All we got left is coach seats.

I have to have a private compartment.

Then wait until tomorrow.

I'll see if we got space on that train.

You don't understand.

I have to be on that train.

I'd like to help you out Mister.

There's nothing I can do.

I have to lie down.

She has to lie down.

If I go into labour, I have to lie down.

The baby isn't due

for another two weeks but ...

- I have to lie down.

- Don't worry honey, it's OK.

Pardon me sir, I couldn't help overhearing.

My wife and I, we have a compartment.

You kids looks as though

you need it more than we do.

- We couldn't do that.

- Please. I insist.

I remember how it was with our Mark.

- Is this your first?

- Yes. That's very kind. Thank you.

I'll pay for both tickets.

I insist.

- Is there a phone on the train?

- Afraid not.

$195, please.

That's car 564, drawing room A.

- It's toward the end of the train.

- Thank you.

Get on the train.

Don't wait for me.

Get in the room, lock the door.

Don't let anybody in.

They probably haven't seen you.

All right. Here.

Go. Go.

- I'm really very grateful.

- That's quite all right.

Take care of the little lady.

Yes?

There's been some mistake.

This is my compartment.

If there's a mistake, it's yours.

- This is our compartment.

- You're sure?

Yes, of course I'm sure.

Could you please excuse us?

The conductor said this was mine.

He couldn't have said that.

This is our compartment.

- Could I see your ticket, please?

- Can I see yours?

My wife has our tickets.

Well, maybe your wife is

in the proper car.

This is my son. This is not your wife.

This is our compartment. Not your compartment.

I would like you to leave.

This guy's lying.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, really.

I'm always getting myself

into these kinds of things.

One time, I, uh, I lost my car.

I parked it in a parking lot

And forgot where I parked it.

I just ...

You know what that's like.

No, I don't know what that's like.

Would you please get out of here?

Yes, of course. I'm sorry.
