- I'll tell you part in the car.

- What's this money gonna be used for?

What's your collateral? Am I loaning,

investing or just giving it to you?

It's a second chance for me.

You don't understand, but...

- You wanna come inside?

- No, I don't!

- You're under incredible strain.

- I know I am!

- You should talk to Dr. Ellman.

- The hell with Dr. Ellman! Please hurry.

- Why do you want to go to the bank?

- I wanna get $500,000.

- You don't have that kind of cash.

- I've got some money.

- Have you seen our books lately?

- We've got land.

We've got the Pontchartrain property.

We've got other property.

- And you wanna give me half?

- I'll give you anything!

It's only for a short while.

Please come.

If that's what you want, I'll do it.

We'll get the papers, and you sign.

- You can act crazy, I don't have to.

- Anything!

I'll take that land to protect it from

you. I gotta look after the company.

- All right! I'll wait in the car.

- I'll just get dressed.

You're gonna have to sign

these papers.

Right there.

Old Court.

Just can't come up

with the money...

not for Elizabeth

and not for you.

Mommy.

Look at this. This is what

your old man thinks you're worth.

Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

Mommy! Mommy!

Cut those ropes and let's leave.

Break that window open!

Don't shoot unless

you want the kid to get it!

It looks like your daddy

doesn't think you're worth a dime.

I'm sure your Uncle Bob will.

I don't want this.

I don't want any part of it.

I don't want this.

I don't want any part of it.

$50,000 is a lot of money

to turn down, darling.

- You keep it. You earned it.

- It wasn't supposed to be like this.

It was a dirty business from the start

and you knew it.

I told you Court would either

give up the land...

or be declared mentally incompetent

to manage it.

And you agreed. So don't start getting

an attack of conscience now.

At least you kept him out of bed.

Look at it that way.

Do you realize what I've done?

I wanna go back to him.

I wanna confess everything.

I wanna beg him to forgive me.

Look. You hold on.

Just keep your head a minute.

We just swindled a man

out of millions.

Now, the law isn't exactly gonna

look lightly on that...

if you go back to Michael

and confess.

You made a dirty deal with me

and you executed it flawlessly.

You're the best investment

I ever made.

Old Court fell for your Elizabeth act

hook, line and sinker.

So now I think you're entitled

to the due wages of sin.

You don't understand!

What am I gonna do now?

It's a little late for

existential questions, darling.

You just take the money. Believe you me,

it'll help you to forget.

What am I gonna do?

- I can't take it.

- Come on!

Look! Move!

Hurry up!

Have you got the money?

- This isn't enough.

- It's all for you.

What about the others?

- They're all dead.

- Christ!

Smart business deal

this turned out to be.

Courtland surprised all of us!

So just take the money

and get out of here!

Uncle Bob.

Where's Mommy?

She's dead, honey.

Your daddy didn't pay the men...

and they killed her.

You see. I gave the man the money.

I'm taking care of you now.

Now, you're gonna go with him...

on the plane to a faraway place where

I've got friends you can live with.

Now, I'll be there in about a week

to see if everything's okay.

But where's Daddy?

He don't want you anymore, honey.

Now you go with the man.

- Go on!

- No!

- Go with him!

- Uncle Bob, no!

Go with the man!

Uncle Bob!

Father, I do not ask forgiveness.

I know there can be none.

I was never killed with Mother.

I was ransomed by La Salle

and brought to Florence...

where I lived with Mrs. Portinari.

I was raised believing

you killed Mother.

I hated you. I lived for the day

when I could revenge her.

Then La Salle came to me with his plan

to swindle the land from you...

and I got my chance.

But you were not like he said.

I never thought I would...

Iove you.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are sorry

to disturb you at this time...

but we have just encountered

some unexpected turbulence.

Would you please return to your seats

immediately and...

Excuse me.

It wasn't there.

The money wasn't there.

It wasn't there.

You got me out of bed...

forced me to give you $500,000.

You were actin' crazy.

Of course the money wasn't there.

I had to protect it from you.

I have the real money.

I was only lookin' after

your own good.

It's all yours now.

And this will surely keep you

from throwin' it away.

I killed her.

She came back a second time...

to let me prove I loved her...

and I killed her.

Now she's gone.

You just can't seem

to keep a woman, can you?

You self-righteous son of a b*tch!

What did you think

you were anyway?

Steppin' on anybody you wanted to...

tellin' people what to do

and when to do it.

Sittin' on your ass...

while a fortune slipped

through our fingers!

Do you know how rich

we could have been?

But you don't care

about money, do ya?

You never did.

You just threw away millions this

mornin' for that lyin' little b*tch.

Go ahead and kill me!

You gonna kill her too?

She was in it with me, you fool!

She was in it from the start.

She's goin' to Rome...

with $50,000 of yours.

You didn't just throw away

a fortune.

You just threw away

your whole life.

TWA flight 702 to London...

scheduled for departure at 10:30.

Passengers now boarding at gate 16.

When's the next flight to Rome?

Rome... Tomorrow evening, 8:00 p.m.

You wanna make a reservation?

Would that be first class

or coach, sir?

First class.

Excuse me a minute.

All right.

Sir, you are in luck.

Our 8:
00 flight from Rome

has just returned...

to check out an engine malfunction.

Now, the problem appears

to be cleared up...

and the flight is rescheduled

to take off at 11:00 p.m. From gate 36.

If you want me to fix this for you...

Daddy!

You came with the money!

Daddy!

Amy?

Daddy.
