Would you like some breakfast?

Uh, no, thanks. Just some coffee,

please. Black.

- And a cup of coffee to go.

- Certainly, sir.

Well. Good morning.

Good morning.

Mind if I join you?

I'm just having coffee.

I'm not having breakfast.

Um... oh, of course.

- Please. Sit down.

- Thank you.

- Sleep well?

- Not much.

Me, too.

It's so difficult to sleep on a train.

- God, it's beautiful, isn't it?

- Yes, yes.

Good morning, ma'am.

Would you care for some breakfast?

Um, just some tea, please.

And some toast.

What kind of bread?

Any kind. Wheat?

You, um, getting coffee for someone?

No. I thought I'd have a cup here

And take a cup back to the compartment.

I have reading to do before we get in.

What kind of work do you do?

Mmm. Sales.

What do you sell?

Construction, um ... supplies.

H-heavy equipment.

Oh, I see.

You don't look like the salesman type.

What type is that?

Well, somebody who looks comfortable

with a name tag on their pocket.

- ''Hello, my name is...''

- Yes. I don't have to do that.

- Your toast is coming.

- Thanks.

- Where are you from?

- Uh, Los Angeles.

Oh, I go there quite often.

In fact, I'm going to be there

next week.

I stay at the, um, the Bel Air.

That's a very nice place.

Would you like to see me?

What did you say? I'm sorry.

- Nothing. It's not important.

- No, what did you say?

I feel like an idiot.

I asked if you'd like to see me again.

How's she doing?

Your wife.

How's she doing?

I gave him my compartment.

He only had coach seats.

His wife looked like she was going to have

the baby right there in the train station.

She's doing fine, thank you.

That's very kind of you.

I hope you and your wife

were not uncomfortable.

Hell, no. We played cards all night.

I cheat. So does she. But I cheat better.

That's why she's buying breakfast.

Well, I got to be going.

Hope everything turns out right.

Thank you. You don't understand.

- I do understand.

- Please.

Look, you don't have to apologize.

No, please. I just ...

I can't explain. Please.

- Come with me.

- What?

Come with me now.

Don't ask questions.

I don't want to.

I'm not asking, I'm telling.

You're in danger.

What's going on here?

What is it?

Ow!

Where are you taking me? Who are you?

Those two guys think you're someone else.

Let go of me!

Get in your compartment, shut the door and lock it.

My compartment's back the other way.

You can't go back the other way.

Tell me what's going on.

I don't have time.

What's the problem here?

- This man ... - No problem.

- Looks like there's one to me.

I don't give a sh*t what it looks like to you.

No way to talk.

Come with me. The name's Keller.

Rail-road security.

Step away from the lady

and come with me.

You're a rail-road cop?

Two men on this train are trying

to kill someone.

The person they're after is a woman.

I know who the two are.

I've been watching them.

I've been watching you too.

Where is she?

She's safe. I believe they think

she's the woman.

What do you want me to do?

Where's your compartment?

- One car behind us.

- Let's go there.

Keep her in there.

They won't think to look there.

I can call ahead for help.

Communications aren't out?

- Mine's a portable.

- Have your people contact

The Los Angeles District

Attorney's office.

Have them ask for Chief Deputy District

Attorney Martin Larner.

They're not to talk to anyone else.

that's important.

I want them to tell Larner that

Dahlbeck is dirty.

Do it right away.

Listen. It's not just your grocer

who loves you.

It's Caulfield.

What took you so long?

We're going to change compartments, OK?

- What happened?

- Things are looking up.

I'm going to put you in a rail-road

cop's compartment.

If nothing else, it'll give us

a little time.

Jesus Christ

Oh!

- They took her.

- Who?

There was a woman in here.

They thought she was you.

Oh, dear god.

Oh!

Get out of the way!

Wait!

- Get on the roof!.

- I can't!

You don't have any choice.

Don't think about it.

Just do it.

When you get on the roof, lie flat!

You're doing fine!

End of the line, a**hole.

Wiggle your ears. Wiggle your toes.

Come on. I want to do you.

Toy gun.

Ha ha ha ha!

- Let's go!

- I can't move! I'm afraid!

- Yeah, so am I. Let's go. Come on.

- I can't.

Come on.

Aah!

Aah!

Oh!

I don't want you. Just her.

You understand.

It's strictly business.

You should have taken the money.

You know what I like about you?

You're tall.

Oh!

Larner.

This is Caulfield.

Where have you been?

I don't have time to explain. Listen.

Our friend Dahlbeck works for Leo Watts.

We wound up on a train.

The train's stopped at a siding.

I'm calling you from a farmhouse.

I'm about 100 miles from Vancouver.

The woman is safe.

I've contacted the Canadian authorities.

They'll be here any minute.

Get in touch with them.

Meet us at the border.

I'm on my way.

And then the man told

Mr. Tarlow not to be afraid.

I remember he said,

"Michael, You're acting

as though you think I'll harm you."

And, uh, then he told Mr. Tarlow

That he was to go back to New York

And pay back all the money he owed.

Then he started to walk toward the door,

And he stopped and turned around

and said,

"Michael, I lied."

Then the other man that was with him

turned around and pulled out a gun...

and shot Mr. Tarlow.

Did Mr. Tarlow call anybody

in the room by name?

Yes, he called the man Leo.

And did you get a clear look at

the man named Leo?

Yes.

- Could you identify him?

- Yes.

- Is he in the courtroom at this time?

- Yes.

Could you point to him?

Yes.

It's that man sitting right there.

Let the record state that the witness

Has pointed to Mr. Leo Watts.

Thank you, Miss Hunnicut.
