White of the Eye

---

Hello? Oh.

Karen, hi, listen.

I'm so glad you called. Do you think...

Do you think we could make it 7:30?

Yeah. Yeah, that'd be great.

Er... I'm having a terrible day.

Maurice just butchered...

he just butchered my hair.

I don't know what the hell

he thought he was doing.

OK, great. OK, bye.

Yeah, it's all over

your nose, Danielle.

Oh, go ahead and roll your cookies.

Danielle, what happened

at school today?

Charlie said, "Can I

borrow your Twinkie?"

I said, "No", and he said,

"You don't need it, Porky!"

And he squeezed it.

That's not what I heard.

What else happened?

Danielle?

I... I socked him in the back.

Danielle, honey, you can't keep going

round socking people in the back.

It's just not right. It's stupid.

- It's anti-social.

- What's "anti-social"?

Well...

- Do you know what "social" is?

- No.

Social is like what we're doing right now...

making cookies and talking and laughing.

Right?

Now, anti-social would be if

Mommy grabbed your cookie-cutter

and chopped up all your cookies

and threw them on the ground.

That's anti-social.

OK, you understand?

You're not gonna do it again?

OK.

Come here and give me

a big hug and kiss.

Let me see. There's

icing on your nose.

I said, "Dr Sutter,

on the ceiling?"

He says, "Oh, you said that

I needed sound insulation."

"It was just a suggestion."

I said, "Yeah..."

I said, "No, no, no, that's fine,

that's fine. It's a great idea."

It's a beautiful idea...

soundwise, I'm talking soundwise.

You have to be a retired plastic

surgeon to come up with that.

Voil!

God, it's beautiful! You've

really customized it.

- Do you like the ivory?

- Mm-hmm, it looks a little like Danielle.

That's cold. That's cold.

I road-tested Sutter's living room.

- You should have seen his face.

- Oh, do it!

Do what?

Come on, just do it for me. Please!

OK.

OK.

OK, horn loaded tweeters

there, there, there and there.

And all the bass out this end.

Of course you have to

have heavy-duty cables.

That's what separates

the men from the boys.

- Right.

- Well...

People think I'm kidding

when I do that.

You know, they... they can't believe

that I really feel it, right there.

It's like I got a tuning fork.

- Here in my sinus cavities.

- I know.

It's weird. It's like... I can't

do it with my eyes open.

Yes, you can.

Come here.

Music...

'We're not getting much information

at all from the police

'about what the murder scene looks like

or about the intriguing report... '

Uh, pushed the wrong damn button.

'... murders of two

wealthy housewives.

'Homicide detective Mendoza

had no comment for us

'when we asked him if the killing

here could be related to the murder

'last August of Mrs Jennifer Ann

Timmonds up in Phoenix... '

Give me a break!

Lieutenant...

Can we just get a lead

line on this, please?

Are there any witnesses at all?

- Come on, give us a break, would you?

- One statement, please.

I know a goddamn work

of art when I see one.

Didn't you ever look

at a Picasso, Lucas?

Picasso, my ass!

I'm talking post-cubist Picasso.

Why should I look at a goddamn Picasso?

I'm a medical man, not a hippie.

Or maybe even later.

You know, Lucas, you're becoming

a real bore this evening.

I can't even hold a civilized

conversation with you, you know that?

Excuse me, sir, we haven't

printed in there yet.

OK, OK, OK, I'm not

touching a thing.

The sonofabitch took a shower.

Here. This looks like a

nice piece right there.

I had to pick Danielle

up from school today.

How come?

She socked someone

in the back again.

- I met the new principal, too.

- I hear he's supposed to be strict.

It's getting like the Bronx.

All they do is kick ass all day.

- Do you miss New York sometimes?

- You gotta be kidding.

- I'm not kidding.

- No.

You remember Mike?

Mike who?

Yeah, right, 'Mike who'.

That's history, baby.

God, we were so lost.

Heading for Hollywood...

how stupid!

You sexy thing, you sexy thing, you

I believe in miracles.

Since you came along.

You sexy thing...

Hey, close the f***ing window.

It's freezing cold out there.

Some like it cool, you know?

Oh, man, why me?

God, you live with a

guy for six months

and never realise he's

afraid of a little oxygen.

How did you know...

We eat, sleep and f*** in this

goddamn van for 3,000 miles

and does that look like Malibu

Beach to you? Huh? Malibu Beach?

You f***ing put the tape in its case,

man! You're killing it! Jesus!

Hey, use a f***ing ash tray,

will you, Joanie? It's right there.

All right, already. I'm using it.

No, man! Jesus Christ!

- Goddammit!

- Oh, I'm sorry!

Looks like we have a

dead-on-arrival here. Drowned.

What the f*** could I do, man?

Watch her burn?

Oh, here's my grandson.

He's an expert in the

field of transistors.

Great! Terrific!

Know what we need, babe?

Get in the van for a while,

eat some real food, you know?

Steak! I need steak!

It's cold out.

Here's your jacket.

Hey, is this place

actually called "Globe"?

Sure is. Globe, Arizona.

- How many miles to L.A. from here?

- L.A.?

- Where is that?

- Ha ha!

A lot of Indians around here, huh?

Those are the Apache

Mountains you're looking at.

It's their summer hunting ground.

They'll sell you a license, though.

Especially this time of year.

I think I can fix it.

Hey, Joan, he can

fix it, no problem.

Great! We're in luck.

Yeah. Hey, I was born

lucky, I swear to God.

The Apache Mountains.

Joan, I think we're

going to motel it.

Kick back a couple of

days, what do you say?

Jesus, I got highway

hypnosis, you know?

You got what?

Look...

As long as we get to Malibu

before Christmas, fine!

Huh! Well, excuse me, huh?

Hey, Paul.

I am Apache.

Oh yeah?

Hey man, you ever been

to New York, Paul?

- No.

- No?

No, I didn't think so.

You see this tan, man?

That's Spanish, Italian, Scottish and a

little bit of Puerto Rican, but not too much.

- How about that!

- And my grandpa,

that is my great-grandpa on my mom's

side, was a full-blown Apache.

- Yeah?

- An Apache Chief.

Anybody... anybody can

come from New York, Paul.

- Morning, sir.

- Good morning. What's going on?

Oh, we had a little incident here

last night we're investigating.

I can't let you into the area unless

you're a resident or working in the area.

Well, I'm installing some stereo

equipment at Dr Sutter's.

Dr Sutter's is all right,

I can let you go over there.

Is this the murder that

I saw on TV last night?

Unfortunately it is. You can

go over to Dr Sutter's though.

Thanks.

'Five, four, nine, report... '

Put those in the big room, dude!

OK, no problem.

Seeing her rings.

All her things.

And her clothes are in the closet.

Where she left them.

When she tore my world apart.

As you leave you'll see the nursery.

Oh, she left me without mercy.

Taking our baby.

And my heart?

'Officer needs assistance. '

- Mr White?

- Yeah.

Good morning.

I'm an investigator

with Tucson CID.

Charles Mendoza.

- Arnold White, right?
