Where Danger Lives Page #7

I don't understand this.

It was his heart. His heart was so bad,

and he was working against me.

You saw that.

I was afraid he'd change his will.

So I put his money away,

every week, every month, for years.

- Everything's breaking for us now.

- You mean...?

You mean you put his money away?

It's the second van, Jeff.

We're on the next one.

We've gotta go down.

You're going without me.

I can't. You know I can't be alone.

Well, I'm not going.

I can't walk anyway.

But you've gotta walk. You have to.

What are you staring at?

There are no police down there.

The sign.

Rosablanca.

White rose.

Oh, Jeff, come on.

You've only got to make it to the border.

Oh, no.

Go on, Margo.

Jeff, please. If you love me,

you'll make the effort.

- For what?

- For what?

Then you don't love me,

is that right? Answer me.

All right. All right, you're right.

I don't think I ever loved you.

You put away his money.

But don't you see how funny that is?

I hated him, but he pays off.

He'll support us

for the rest of our lives.

So horribly sick.

- You are?

- No, you are. You, Margo.

It all fits in. All the symptoms.

I didn't fall in love with a woman.

I fell in love with a patient.

Then you heard the radio,

what they said over the radio.

Those doctors, Symes and Berger.

What do they know?

Symes and Berger?

Why did you pretend

you hadn't heard?

So that's what Lannington

was trying to tell me.

Of course he was trying to tell you.

Do you think he didn't tell

all the others?

Yeah, there are always others.

Do you think you're the only man

who found me attractive?

You said...

You told me you were very lonely.

You're a pathological liar.

I should have known.

Why didn't I see it?

Dementia.

I told you the truth.

I had to search, didn't I?

Yes, you had to search.

Man after man, lie after lie.

You tried to kill yourself

over the other one, didn't you?

What about the earring?

Did Lannington tear it off

or did you?

I couldn't let you go without me.

It was another lie.

An act, it was just an act.

Don't you have any feeling?

Yeah, I...

I feel... I pity.

Pity?

Nobody pities me.

Lannington tried

and look what happened to him.

It's the third van, Jeff.

We've got to go.

Stay here.

- You're hurting me.

- You said Lannington...

Wait a minute.

He was still breathing

when I went for water.

How did you kill him?

I didn't... I didn't do it.

I should've known you killed him...

...because he was gonna tell me

you were insane.

How did you do it? How?

You won't tell either.

Nobody pities me.

Nobody.

I'm coming.

There's three more of us,

myself, the driver, and a woman.

There's the passes.

- Are you the only one back here, lady?

- Yes.

Okay, DeLong, sign here.

No.

Jeff, stop.

Don't come any further.

Don't make me shoot.

Don't make me shoot.

Margo.

Stand back.

- Don't touch her till we get a doctor.

It's that Lannington woman, all right.

Let him through, boys.

All right, son,

your little stroll's finished.

He's the accomplice.

Accomplice?

Do you think he could kill a man?

I did it. I did it alone.

He didn't even have

the sense enough to know.

Nobody pities me.

- Yes, son, you're going to be all right.

- Thank you.

I'll look in on you later.

Meanwhile, anything I can do for you?

Yes. Can I send flowers

to San Francisco?

I think so.

Wait a minute, here's the address.

This should be

an easy prescription to fill.

- How is he, doctor?

- Well enough to send you flowers.

- Flowers?

- Just one.

A white rose.

Is he well enough to have visitors?

Just one. You.
