The Bribe Page #6

stay on shore.

Walker plans

to finish by midnight.

If Rigby got out

on a boat before then,

He couldn't miss,

So Rigby doesn't

get out on a boat.

If your friend nature

fails us,

We'll probably

have to kill him, catch?

I don't want

no part of that.

They get the chair

twice as hot

For bumping off

a fed.

Sit down.

I'm a payoff man.

No more, no less.

Considerably less,

Im afraid.

Room 204,

senora.

Thank you.

Like I said, nature

taking its course.

Come in.

Well.

I thought you didn't

want to see me again.

That was

last night.

I wasn't thinking

too well last night.

Oh?

You see, I just found out

something, Rigby...

who you are,

what you do,

And why

you're in Carlota.

That's quite a bit

to know about anybody.

Is it more than

you know about me, Rigby?

Is it, Rigby?

Maybe not.

Who you are

and who I am

Doesn't make

any difference...

not to me,

Not in the way

I feel about you.

I thought it did.

For a little while,

I thought I hated you.

I tried to,

but it wasn't any use.

When you love someone,

I guess it doesn't

make any difference

Who, what, or why.

You go right on

loving them.

Yeah.

You go right on...

yeah?

He's out, huh?

Didn't leave any message?

Well, ah, leave word

for him to call me

When he comes back.

Yeah, he knows where

to get in touch with me.

Thanks.

I thought lemon soda

was your speed.

This isn't a lemon

soda occasion.

Just one

for the road.

For the road?

Our road.

To you.

I never knew a crooked road

could look so straight.

What do you suppose

makes it look that way, huh?

You being around?

That could be it.

No, Rigby. No.

What do you mean, no?

What do you

mean being sad?

This is no time

for sadness.

We-We ought to be out

dancing in the streets.

Yeah, kicking the-

Kicking the hats

off the citizens.

That drink

- There was something in that drink.

Something for

the road, Rigby,

So it won't seem

so lonely.

Playing me, huh?

Setting me up for it.

You really found yourself

a pigeon, didn't you?

You didn't have to

do it this way.

It was working fine

for your side.

Guilty or innocent,

Didn't make

any difference.

I was selling out

for you.

You outsmarted

yourself, baby.

Now I can do my job.

I couldn't let

him die.

I couldn't.

So Ive killed

everything for us instead.

You must have

done a good job.

You couldn't feel so bad

if you hadn't.

You, ah, give him

the stuff?

You said that it was just

enough, that it wouldn't-

He'll be all right

in a few hours.

You wait here.

And that's

just what we mean.

Listen to me, Bealer.

If Rigbys not all right,

Then you won't be

all right.

I won't care then.

I won't care

what happens to anyone.

But, Mrs. Hintten...

it's O.K.

I know.

Go stall her.

Keep her from her house

for a while.

I've got to see

Hintten alone.

Here's what you've

earned so far,

2,500.

Here's what you

would have earned

If you'd finished

the job,

An even 5,000.

Something for nothing,

huh?

Coming from you,

that's worth a look.

Well, I believe that

about winds things up,

Ends our business.

Not quite.

Listen, Carwood.

We had

an understanding

About my wife.

Remember?

How could I forget?

You were so hard to

convince that we needed her.

Yeah. I sold her

down the river

But only partway.

I let her be used

To keep Rigby

where we could watch him,

But that was all.

She wasn't to know

about the deal or about me.

Suppose sis in.

What'll you do?

I talk,

tell everything I know.

I'll break it open-

Sis in. Why not?

We lost you,

we got her.

Where is she?

Exactly where you're

afraid she is... with Rigby.

Rigby and your wife.

You don't deserve to live.

But you're the one who's

going to die, Hintten.

It's going to look

very natural.

You tried to get

to your medicine.

You couldn't

make it.

Did you really think I'd

leave you around to talk?

You've already

talked enough.

You've talked yourself

to death, do you hear me?

You've talked

yourself to death.

Mrs. Hintten.

Please wait.

Mrs. Hintten.

Please, Mrs. Hintten.

Mrs. Hintten.

Yes?

Are you-

Are you sure

you're all right?

Yes, Im quite

all right.

Tug!

Tug.

Tug.

Answer me.

What's wrong?

Liz.

Yes, Tug?

Call the doctor, quickly.

Liz.

Yes, Tug?

The number is 421.

What, darling?

Bueno.

Cuatro dos uno.

Pronto.

Oh, Tug.

Doc warren?

Bealer.

Get over to the Hinttens' right away.

Thank you, doc.

He'll be here.

Whiskey

might help.

You got any whiskey?

In the kitchen.

Bealer!

Bealer!

Liz!

Tug.

Tug!

Just a minute,

dear.

Ain't no use.

Desk,

this is Rigby in 204.

Please don't ring me.

That's right.

No calls of any kind.

Thank you.

I want to sleep.

Mrs. Hintten,

You've got to stop

blaming yourself.

Even if you'd

been with him,

It wouldn't have

made any difference.

Have you, ah... have

you any friends here?

Anyone you can

count on?

No one.

I've got-Please

forgive me, doctor.

There's something

I must do.

But, Mrs. Hintten-

I'll handle her,

doc.

Mrs. Hintten.

Where do you think

you're going?

To Rigby.

That guy's in no condition

to comfort you, sister.

I'll get help

for him.

Tug's gone. He can't hurt Tug now.

No. But

he can get hurt.

Now, listen,

you and me made a deal.

He's safe as long

as you keep it.

My connection's got

an eye on his door.

If Rigby walks out,

he walks out into a bullet.

Yeah.

If you think

anything of Rigby,

You better

leave him be, as is.

Now, listen,

you'll be all right.

You'll get the payoff

just the same.

You came through.

Do you think I'd

take that money now?

Why not?

You need dough.

I heard you talking about

shipping your husband home.

That takes money.

Yes, everything

takes money-

Living, dying,

But Ill earn the money

I need from now on,

Honestly

and decently.

Those feet of yours

must have held you up.

When I got her home,

I had to

stick around.

Do you think

she'll talk to Hintten?

If she does,

he won't hear her.

He's dead.

We found him.

Medicine

all spilled.

Sudden attack?

Looked like it.

You, ah...

you see him?

Yes, of course.

He was fine

when I left.

Why?

Did he call you?

He was worried

about his payoff.

I told him I'd

take care of him.

It's too bad.

But his wife

will get his share.

But Ive waited all day,

and now it is dark.

Senor Rigby said

no calls.

That means no calls.

If he wants to sleep

all day and all night,

It's none

of my business,

And none

of yours either.

How about me

getting my cut now?

I want out.

You'll get out

when I get out,

No sooner and no later.

I'd hate to start

worrying about you.

You don't have to

worry none about me.

Not me.

No? Who then?

Hintten's wife.

What about

Hintten's wife?

Hintten wasn't dead when

me and her got there.

He was trying

to say something.

She was alone with him

two, three minutes.

I don't know

what he said.

I don't know

what he could say.

Maybe you do?

Pain.

Pain-That'll do it.

Wake me up.

Senor Rigby.

Senor Rigby!
