l was walkin' along here
about, oh, half hour after the fire started.
l'd been over there watchin',
but fires bore the hell outta me.
The way l see it,
there ain't no money in 'em.
At least, that's how l saw it back then.
You take a smart son of a b*tch like you,
boy, he knows there's money in fires.
- How 'bout gettin' to it?
- You gotta get that sheriff thinkin'
that you got to the fire
the same time as the fire trucks did.
Otherwise, you're in real trouble.
See, you gotta tell everybody
the same story.
l know that l got in trouble
with more little gals that way.
Course, l hang around with
a more female type of woman myself.
Set your ass down.
l ain't real happy with my new face,
mister. Sit down.
Now, let's talk about the money.
l tell you what.
l'm gonna let you drive my new Lincoln.
lt's my personal favourite.
You get the dent ironed out of that fender.
l'll be by on Monday to pick it up,
along with the bread.
How do l know you'll go?
You don't.
You're just gonna have to trust me.
See ya tonight, honey.
(laughs)
He wanted $500, Harry.
- You didn't give it to him, did you?
- No, l didn't. Not yet.
l don't have it in the office today.
Gloria.
Gloria, don't you even
think about givin' it to him.
Blackmailers are all the goddamn same.
- Each buy is the last until the next one.
- l know.
Except there's something else now, Harry.
He told me that he knows
somethin' about you. Something bad.
Harry. What is it?
Baby, don't even worry about it.
And listen to me.
Whatever you do, don't pay him.
Do you understand me?
Don't pay him.
(man) And Haran died
before his father Terah
in the land of his nativity,
in ur of the Chaldees...
(woman moans)
(woman) Oh, that's good.
(moaning)
Oh, baby!
(moaning intensifies)
(woman squeals)
(screams)
(woman) My God! My face!
Oi!
Wake up!
What'd you do?
Tell her you're gonna send me to jail?
l told you to stay away
from Gloria Harper.
And you made her bring you
the f***in' money, you sick bastard.
Gloria?
Yeah, she was here, right on that bed.
You know what we was doin'?
She ain't half bad for a girl
that goes both ways, you know?
l'll kill you. l'm gonna f***in' kill you.
The minute a guy like Sutton
came in here and paid cash for a car,
l got suspicious.
the less l liked it.
These numbers match up all right.
Lucky for me.
- And lucky for you.
- Lucky for me?
Yes, sir. There's a reward connected
to the solution of this particular crime.
Not a bad 'un either
by most folks' standards - $25,000.
- Mr Madox.
- Sheriff.
Harry!
- How soon can you be ready to leave?
- Leave?
For the Caribbean.
- Just you and me... and a wedding ring.
- Caribbean!
(phone rings)
- Did you say wedding ring?
- Will you go?
Yeah. l'll go.
(Gulick) Harry! Phone call!
l'll be right back.
Yeah, Madox.
Harry? You'll never
guess what's happened.
George is dead.
- What?
- The hospital just called.
You know he was workin' too hard
and overexertin' himself.
Well, his heart just gave way.
You might say he died in the saddle.
But, you know,
he was concerned with my welfare
right up until the very end.
And l was wonderin'
if you might be free to come over
and discuss it as soon as possible?
Tell it to Gulick, Dolly. l'm outta here.
Goodbye, Mrs Harshaw.
(phone rings)
Harshaw Finance.
Lon, that was Mrs Harshaw.
Mr Harshaw's dead.
He died of a heart attack.
Oh, no.
- Oh, God. That's awful.
- Think you can take over?
um, well, yeah, l could
but ain't you gonna be here, too?
Not with any luck.
Excuse me a minute, Lon.
Harry. That was Mrs Harshaw.
Mr Harshaw's dead.
Harry, l never got a chance to tell him.
lt's OK, baby. lt's OK.
l just told Mrs Harshaw
that we'd be right over.
l have a few things l wanna
go over with her.
l don't think that's a good idea, baby.
Harry.
We have so much to look forward to.
l have to be clear with the past.
l have to do that.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
Gloria, l want you
to promise me something.
We're going to the Caribbean.
- You promise?
- Oh, yeah.
Nothing anybody's gonna do
is gonna stop us.
Harry. l just have to tell you
lt's OK, baby.
You don't have to tell me anything.
Well, l know that you told me not to,
but l gave Sutton that $500.
l already know.
We don't even have to discuss it.
l just don't wanna lie to you,
that's all, about anything.
Ssh ssh ssh.
God, you look beautiful.
Thank y'all for comin'.
l know this may even be harder
for you than it is for me.
At least he didn't suffer much.
He was in the hospital unconscious
for almost 24 hours.
l heard him out in the hall up there and...
l guess he must have started
downstairs for somethin' and...
he just fell all the way to the bottom.
So l ran to him and... l was so scared.
Half out of my mind, really.
And then l fell too...
Mr Madox, don't you feel well?
l feel fine. l'm all right.
Well, l know you been wonderin'.
About the business, l mean.
l wanted you to know right away that...
l have no intention of sellin' out.
of both of you and...
l want to try to carry on just the same
because it's what he would have wanted.
l guess he knew that
it could happen at any time cos...
he kept this little notebook
and he'd write down all his ideas on
how he wanted the business carried on.
l typed it all up.
Since you're in charge now, Mr Madox,
And you too, Miss Harper,
if he thinks you should.
(Dolly) lt seemed important
so l left a copy with my attorney.
As for that shortage
in your accounts, Miss Harper,
l know you'll understand
that Mr Madox was only doing
what he thought was right
when he told me about it,
and, of course,
l wouldn't think of bringin' charges.
You can just continue
right on the way you have been
till it's all taken care of.
l want you to know, dear,
that we're your friends
and that Mr Madox hated havin' to do it
just as much as l hate
havin' to mention it now.
Harry insisted that
l understand, Mrs Harshaw.
Of course.
l always intended to pay it all back.
So.
y'all don't mind if l leave, do you?
Of course not, dear.
l'll drive you home.
Thank you.
l'd rather walk.
Harry, darling.
l don't think you'll ever have
much luck explainin' it to her.
Sutton didn't know.
He wasn't even at the fire.
You told him.
lt was you.
You'll have to beg now.
You had your chance.
Now l'm gonna enjoy hearin' you
beg me to marry you.
See...
you have to look after me, Harry.
Yes.
Something might.
(Dolly splutters)
You see, Harry?
Then kiss me, Harry.
Kiss me.
Oh, God.
(Harry) ln this life,
you gotta take what you want.
(Dolly) l always get what l want, Harry.
(Harry) Yes, indeed.
l've found my level.
And l'm livin' it.
