Pablo.
Senor Rigby.
Pablo.
But I am stuck here
with you, ain't I?
I am taking all
the risks you take.
Yeah, you've stuck,
Because you haven't
got your money yet.
You'd have walked out
if you could.
But nobody's going to
walk anyplace, Bealer,
little visit to Mrs. Hintten.
Yeah.
You've got the location
then, huh, Rodriquez?
O.K. Get going.
No. No, there's
no time to pick me up.
O.K.
Pablo.
Si, senor?
I got a little
something to do now...
si, senor.
For a kid
named Emilio.
I do have that to do.
I'm sorry, Pablo.
Your job's to stay here.
Wait for
Rodriquez's call.
I'll be
in touch with you.
What you say,
I will do.
I know.
but whooo?
Rigby.
Oh, Rigby.
Expecting
someone else?
Your pal Bealer
or even Carwood?
I'm looking for either
one or both of them.
There was nobody
in Carwood's room,
Nobody at
Bealer's hotel.
That leaves you.
Where are they?
I don't know.
You've got to-
I ought to...
but that wouldn't
be practical, would it?
Well...how was
the take tonight?
Good old legal tender.
Remarkable what people
will do for it.
Which reminds me,
how is your husband?
He's dead.
Died
this morning.
I'm sorry,
Or maybe Im not.
Something people say-
I'm sorry.
I should be, though,
shouldn't I?
He wasn't such a bad guy.
You don't seem
so sorry, though,
Down here tonight
entertaining the customers.
You can believe what
you want about me,
But trust me this
much, you're in danger.
If you know what's
good for you-
I know one thing.
What's good for me isn't you.
Your hand.
Got caught in a broken
promise... my own.
Let me help you.
I need a drink of water.
Let me get it
for you.
No, thank you
very kindly.
I'm not over the last
drink you got for me.
Well, I call
this service.
I ask for Bealer,
I get Bealer.
You've got to
believe me.
I didn't know
he was there.
Sure, I believe you.
Everything you say.
Come on out, buster.
What are you doing
in there?
You didn't need
a bath, now did you?
Been looking
for you, sweetheart.
Pour out
your heart to me.
Where's the guy
behind you, fat boy?
That's who I want.
Somebody's got to
pay for Emilio.
Where is he?
Where's Carwood?
I don't know.
I don't know anything.
You don't want to take the
rap all by yourself, do you?
Come on. If I have to
slap it out of you, I will.
That's just
a sample.
Now-
Keep away from me.
Why, you don't look
natural, fat boy.
You're no gun-Bearing
animal. Hand it over.
Don't you
come no closer.
Don't.
He's dangerous.
Any scared guy with
a gun is dangerous.
That's why I want to
take it away from him.
I'll kill the both of you
if I have to.
That's the point,
Bealer-You don't have to.
I'll make a deal
with you.
Ever hear of
state's evidence?
I don't know anything.
Carwood's got you
figured for a fall guy.
You're a sap.
Pull that trigger,
and he'll be right.
You'll never
be rid of him.
Never be
your own man again.
He'll have it
on you.
Think it over,
Bealer.
You're scared silly.
Hear your heart
pounding?
You've got no
talent for murder.
Thanks.
What do you know,
my own gun.
I didn't want
to come here.
Why did you?
He made me come here.
He held out my dough.
If it wasn't for him
always pushing me around,
Making me
do his dirty work-
How dirty?
He wanted me to find out
what she knows.
That should be
plenty.
She wasn't in it,
not until the last.
He wanted to find out
About how Hintten died.
He did it.
He killed him.
Hintten, too, huh?
I don't know why,
but he did.
He wouldn't care
what she knows if he didn't.
Where is he?
He's down at the pier,
waiting for walker.
I'm a goner.
I'm finished.
Not quite, Bealer.
You've got
work to do,
Something on the right
side of the fence.
Hide that boat.
Yes, sir,
and me, too.
Well?
Mr. Carwood, uh, she
wouldn't listen to me,
But I got a hunch she
knows how Hintten died.
I waited outside
her place,
Her apartment.
Ah, she tried to get in
touch with the cops at Mateo.
She couldn't
get them.
Do you know why?
They were busy.
The island's
just been raided.
Well, wasn't
that walker?
Yeah, he got away,
he thinks,
But he won't get far.
So now nobody gets anything.
Not you, not me.
Then there's
nothing holding me.
You leaving?
Without me?
I wouldn't go anywhere
without you, Bealer.
Not anywhere.
Come on.
Fine.
All right, Pablo.
Thanks very much.
Rodriquez made the raid.
We'll wait for Carwood.
Any sign of him?
Not yet.
Are you sure you
can trust Bealer?
I can trust his pattern.
But suppose Carwood
doesn't come?
Guys like Carwood
have a pattern, too.
If he comes here,
he'll come for one thing,
To kill you.
Can you force him
to confess
Like Bealer?
I'll give him his chance,
but he won't take it.
He's no Bealer.
He won't break.
I'm afraid, but Im glad
we're waiting for him.
If this Carwood
killed Tug-
He killed him, all right.
I'll stake my life on it.
More,
Im even staking yours.
I want to
stake my life.
It's all right.
All right.
Yeah, funny,
it is all right,
As of here and now,
With me,
Where you're concerned.
It's not all right
with us.
I sold you out,
And I can't even ask
you to forgive me.
I'm not ashamed
or sorry, not even now.
It would be a lie if I
asked you to forgive me.
Forgive...
what's forgive,
an old beat-Up word?
Who's got a right
to use it? Not me.
Look.
They're coming.
We've only got a minute.
Listen to me.
You did
what you had to do.
Everybody's got a place
he really lives,
Where they can get to him.
I ought to know.
Who is it?
Me, Bealer.
Just a minute.
Come in, Carwood.
Take your hand
out of your pocket.
Well...
looks like everybody is
wearing somebody else's voice.
That's right.
Thanks,
Bealer.
Yeah. I'll thank you
later, Bealer.
You got plans
for that?
I wish I could have.
I'd like to shoot you
as you stand there.
I don't know
what you're talking about.
I doubt Ill like it.
We'll take it
in easy stages.
First,
government fraud.
There's enough against you to get you
Two to five years.
You arresting me?
Ha ha. I don't think so.
Law enforcement agencies
of the united states
Have no authority
on foreign soil.
You read
the book right.
I can't arrest you,
But Rodriquez can,
And he'll be here
before morning.
Sorry. I can't wait.
I'm boarding a plane
at midnight.
I don't think
Ill be seeing you, Rigby.
Carwood.
I'm taking that plane.
I'm walking
out of this room.
You won't shoot.
You don't operate that way.
You can't.
Sorry.
I knew it was loaded.
Get your hands up.
You can do better
than that, Rigby.
Not as a cop,
But that's the last shot
Ill fire as a cop. I resign.
I was going to anyway.
This just hurries it.
That's funny.
You don't look any
different to me, Rigby.
Wait till I get rolling.
As one private citizen
to another,
I'd like that gun
you have in your pocket.
