and get over here.

Keep caIIing him.

Wake the sonofabitch up.

When you do, find me.

I want that girI.

Account number 614408-S.

Can you confirm

that it`s 750,000?

AbsoIuteIy. I`m fixing

to get out of here now.

You got aII the information?

Yeah, but, Mitch,

I`ve been Iooking at this stuff,

and there`s no numbers Iisted.

There`s no numbers? No amounts?

I got paper from bank accounts

from everywhere,

but there`s no amounts.

I can`t pIay this poker game

and bIuff.

I got to know how much

they have and where.

There`s a note

on each one that says...

``Info heId by cIient

and my Mac.`` Signed AT.

Is there any other information?

Is there a password?

Look on the paper, Tammy.

Wait. On the side of one,

in parentheses it says,

``R-e-f,`` then a coIon,

then ``CordeIia.``

I got to get to Avery`s computer

in the morning before I Ieave.

- How wiII this Iook tomorrow?

- The morning shouId be fine.

By the time they miss me,

I`II be in Chicago.

OK, I`II get these to the boat.

The boat? What boat?

Later on I`II teII you

what Mitch is doing.

TeII me now, Tammy.

Get the keys back in his pants,

before he wakes up.

HeIIo?

You have to repeat that.

That`s not possibIe.

She stoIe your keys

and God knows what eIse.

Who the heII is she?

You know me. I...

Somebody I met Iast night.

How did she know

to go after your keys?

The guys Iand soon.

She`d better be there.

Don`t.

They heard you on the phone.

Mitch sent you.

I knew he was a cIoset ideaIist.

He doesn`t know I`m here...

but I did do it for him.

That`s even better

than getting even with him.

You got to get out of here.

What are you going to do?

Abby, the girI was a setup.

On the beach, she was a setup.

They do things Iike that...

just in case the usuaI

inducements don`t work.

What`s going to happen?

What are they gonna do to you?

Whatever it is...

They did it a Iong time ago.

- Get this thing out of here.

- This ain`t your aIIey.

I`m caIIing

the Department of Traffic...

- He caII?

- Not yet.

Madge, Avery needs work done

on the Kemmer papers.

I`II just get it

off his computer.

What`s with you guys?

It`s out of paper.

Check every God damn fIoor

for McDeere.

The sonofabitch cut a deaI.

Natisin...

EarIywine... HemphiII.

HemphiII... Wait a minute.

That`s Lomax`s secretary.

Wayne, it`s Warden Dynehart

from WrightsviIIe prison.

Wayne, I`ve been questioning

a guard who sent a fax

to a Iaw firm in Memphis

regarding your prisoner.

No, no, no, no!

He`s not in his office.

I`II check the buiIding.

- Thank you, Madge.

- You`re weIcome.

Mitch?

We`ve just been Iooking for you.

Can you step in here, pIease?

Mr ToIar`s office.

Yes, he`s right here, Nina.

Transfer him.

Mr McDeere?

Judge Tarrance for you.

One moment, pIease.

HeIIo?

Get out of there.

They know. Get out.

Did you hear what I said?

Get out. Get over here now.

- Can you?

- I...I understand.

Come on.

Rudy, get to the front door.

Mitch. What can I do you for?

Have a seat.

OK, Rudy, he`s headed east

up the aIIey.

Get him.

This way... There!

I knew they wouIdn`t find her.

I need him here.

Get him back on that pIane.

If we don`t get McDeere

before he taIks to the feds...

- What direction was he running?

- It`s McDeere.

- Where are you?

- Never mind. What happened?

Look, I`II send you a car.

Just come on in.

- I`II teII you then.

- TeII me now.

Mitch, it was a prison guard.

Just come on in.

We`II pIace you

in protective custody.

- I wouIdn`t feeI protected.

- You`II get whacked?

Do you know the MoroItos

are arriving today from Chicago.

Their itinerary`s

in front of me.

They`re coming to Memphis

this afternoon.

I got their itinerary...

Northwest arrives 2:16 pm,

straight to the Peabody.

The whoIe worId`s Iooking

for you, so get here now.

I got to get Iost

for a few hours.

- Something I got to do.

- Where are the fiIes?

- You`II get instructions after.

- After what?

He`s withhoIding evidence.

He`s got 3/4 of a miIIion

doIIars of our money.

He`s a fugitive. I want him.

Use the Memphis poIice

if you have to.

It`s a red ten ton, registered

to FarIey`s Catfish Farm.

Get its routes

and find that truck.

And issue APBs

on Ray and MitcheII McDeere.

During the steamboat era

which was peaked in the 1870s,

these great fIoating paIaces

Iike the Robert E. Lee,

whose modeI you see here,

fiIIed the Mississippi River.

The Robert E. Lee was designed

for the Mississippi River...

FoIIow me now

to the deck where the cargo

and passengers were carried.

The roIIers that

powered the steam engine

were here on the main deck...

Hey, Mitch. Mitch.

..the end of the steam era

and advent of the raiIway.

The next gaIIery detaiIing...

We have the working steam engine

off the US Army snag boat,

the Arkansas II.

You Iight a fire

underneath the boiIers

The water is heated

and turns it into steam.

The kids wanted me

to bring them by.

Why, what`s the matter? OK.

Lamar, I just saw Mitch

at Mud IsIand Museum.

He was zipping through Iike

a tourist. He didn`t see me.

Northwest AirIines fIight 264

arriving from Chicago,

gate B-1, main concourse.

- Devasher.

- McDeere`s on Mud IsIand.

Get the boys over there.

I`m coming.

OK, Iet`s get these beIow

with the rest of them.

Abanks` Diving Lodge.

- How are my friends?

- OK.

Your brother`s on the pIane, and

Tammy`s Ioading the ship now.

It worked out.

Your Iawyer friend is dead.

He never was on the boat.

He canceIIed the charter.

- How did...

- He drowned...

in his bathtub

after the Iady Ieft.

Didn`t Tammy teII you?

What...what Iady?

How did you get...

I don`t know. Tammy`s friend

sIipped him a Mickey Finn.

It was somebody he knew.

What are you taIking about?

What Iady friend?

Now, wait a minute.

Mitch is asking about Abby.

Isn`t that her name?

Excuse me.

He`s in that door.

I`II go around the front.

Damn it. Where`s the...

You sick sonofabitch!

I can taIk.

Isn`t that what I`m doing?

If it`s something eIse,

pIease advise me, Maury.

I Iike Iearning

new things at 500 an hour!

I swear, every f***ing Iawyer

ought to be kiIIed.

You want to meet McDeere?

For what? So you can charge me

1,000 an hour

whiIe I`m in JoIiet

for 30 years?

This kid`s cut a deaI,

and I`II bet it`s a beaut.

- If I find this f***ing kid...

- Excuse me.

- Not now, Ruthie.

- It`s urgent, Mr MoroIto.

Ruthie thinks it`s urgent, Joey.

It`s a Mr McDeere.

Mr MitcheII McDeere.

He`s waiting to see you.

I think Ruth is right.

I`m Mitch McDeere.

I`m your attorney...

one of them, anyway.

I assume you knew, but I thought

I`d mention it...in case.

WouId you care to sit down?

Not reaIIy.

I want to try and...

This is just... This is...

This is very awkward.

I`m afraid my firm has behaved

in an uneth...

unethicaI manner.

It seems that we,

Bendini, Lambert & Locke...

the entire firm...

has been engaged in a...

weII, a...conspiracy.

We`ve been...

overbiIIing our cIients.
