Kleptomania?

I've got to try and help her.
It means so much.

Now why would a tennis star steal
something she can afford to buy?

Last night somebody robbed Mrs. Sheldrake
of four rings worth one million dollars.

It could've been me.

You're not gonna try and
implicate her in today's robbery.

Oh, you bet I am.

Karen!

(TIRES SCREECHING)

NARRATOR:
Tonight on Nancy Drew,

Nancy Drew's Love Match.

Do you have this one
in white gold?

I'm sure we have
something you like, madam.

After all, this is the
fourth tray I've shown you.

WOMAN:
Oh, I just don't know.

If I'm spending over $1000,
I want to be sure.

MAN: Here we are, madam.
Let me show you these.

Nancy, let's try looking
on the second floor.

Come on.

I just love shopping.

Karen?

Karen!

Nancy, come on.
I thought you were in a hurry.

Not that much of a hurry!

Karen?

(ENGINE STARTS)

(TIRES SCREECHING)

BENDER: I'm gonna have to do
something about you, little lady.

(MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)

Nancy, are you sure, you're
all right? Yeah, I'm fine, Dad.

What happened?

I thought I saw a girl I knew in High
School steal something from the store.

So I started chasing her.

What do you mean, you thought you
saw a girl you knew in High School?

She's not just any girl,
she's...

It's really bizarre.

It is bizarre, Nancy.
Who was she?

Well, she...
Can I borrow your car?

(MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)

This can't be right, Nancy.

This is where we've come
to talk to a shoplifter?

Are you kidding, Nancy? This
looks like King Farouk's guardhouse.

Maybe we should go around
to the service entrance.

Maybe this is
the service entrance.

I can always remember coming
here for Karen's 18th birthday.

It is quite a place.

Karen?

Yeah, you remember
Karen Phillips.

Now I know you've flipped out.
Karen Phillips is riding high.

I mean, you can't pick up a sports magazine
without seeing her face on the cover.

Now why would a tennis star steal
something she can afford to buy?

I don't know. Let's find out.

Not me.

They could have guard dogs in
there trained to rip your throat out.

You're always so graphic.

Be right back.

PACO: Karen, why were you late
for practice this afternoon?

KAREN: I went shopping, Paco.

You have
an important match to win.

You can shop
when you're a champion.

Karen, what are you doing?
You're retreating.

Come on, attack the ball,
use my power against me.

I try to, Paco.

Trying is lying. Come on,
do as I tell you.

Hey, I'm doing the best I
can. What do you want?

BENDER: I'm telling you
the police just called me.

The girl reported
your license number.

And your office
referred them here.

Now what happened?
I said, what happened?

Nothing happened.
I told you, I handled it.

You handled it, all right. What were
you doing? You almost killed me.

Hey, it was an accident.
BENDER: Who are you?

(SIGHS) Nancy Drew,
I'm a friend of Karen's.

Oh, yes, of course.
I remember now.

The young detective
who works for her father.

Look, I was just trying to keep
your daughter out of trouble,

which is what you pay me for.

I don't pay you
to run people off the road.

Send me an invoice,
for your services.

You're firing me?

That's what it sounds like,
doesn't it?

I don't wanna be...
Butt out!

Listen, Phillips,

I put a lot of work
in on this case,

trying to keep your crooked
little daughter out of jail.

Shh.

Don't worry about your old lady.
She's gonna find out sometime.

You owe me, Phillips.

I'll collect.

I didn't mean
to be the cause of that.

Something I should have done
a long time ago.

Look,

I saw Karen steal a bracelet from Frost's
Department Store about an hour ago.

What's going on here?

A man almost knocked me over coming out of
the front door. Just a business disagreement.

Nothing to get upset about.

Oh, this is Nancy Drew,
a reporter.

She wanted some stuff
about tournament.

Well, I guess we just about
covered everything, didn't we?

Why don't you lie down, dear.
You're looking a little tired. Okay.

Nice meeting you, Miss Drew.
You, too.

A reporter?

Forgive the lie.

I don't want my wife to know
anything about this.

I don't understand.

My wife has a heart condition. It's
fine if it's kept under control. But...

If she knew about Karen...

If she knew what?

Has this happened before?

Several times.

Bender, is a private detective
I hired to watch her.

If he saw her steal anything,
he used to let me know,

and return the stolen item
to wherever it came from.

You hired the wrong man
for the job.

Yes, I know that now.

I mean, hiring a detective isn't the
answer. She needs psychiatric help.

I'll see that the bracelet
is returned to the store.

She probably doesn't even
know she has it.

This is a disease, Miss Drew.

A manifestation
of a deeper problem.

(STUTTERING) I don't know
how to handle it.

I thought
she was getting better.

Tennis has become
her whole life.

It's given her confidence, self-assurance,
independence, from all of this.

She's supposed to play in the
Las Vegas tournament, isn't she?

Yes,
and winning that tournament

means more to her
than anything in the world.

Aren't you afraid she'll steal
something when she's in Las Vegas.

That was to have been
Bender's job.

To kind of watch over her until
the championship was decided.

Now, I don't know what to do.

You said you were a friend.

I'm not sure
how to even ask this, but...

Miss Drews, would you
be willing to go to Vegas

and take over
where Bender left off?

(SIGHS)

Winning this tournament
is just what she needs.

And if my wife finds out
about her stealing. It'll Kill her.

Please, Miss Drew.

For both of them.

Please. You're the only one
who can help.

Nancy, I can't believe
what you're telling me.

Kleptomania?

I've got to try and help her.
It means so much.

But what can you really do?

I can offer friendship, understanding...
I won't really know until I get there.

Let me go.

I know you'll say yes.

You're quite a girl, Nance.

Is that a yes?

That's yes.

I sure hope you know
what you're doing.

So do I. Bye, Dad.

GEORGE: Oh, Las Vegas!

I can't believe it!
What a vacation.

I think the vacation's over,
George.

Come on.

(MAN CHATTERING ON RADIO)

Hi.

I'll wait for the bags.

Welcome to The Diamond Hotel.
Thank you.

If you'll just fill this in,
we're all set.

Looks like there's been a
little excitement around here.

Yeah. Somebody lifted an
expensive watch from the gift shop

about an hour ago.

Could you please tell me if a
friend of mine has checked in yet?

Karen Phillips.

Yes, Miss Phillips
checked in this morning.

Can I phone her for you? No,
that's all right, I'll talk to her later.

Would you ask the bellman to
bring my bags up to my room for me?

I've got a few things I
wanna take care of first. Sure.

Thank you.

What's up?
The crime rate.

Somebody lifted a watch from
the gift shop about an hour ago.

Uh-oh.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

I turned around, she was gone
and so was the watch.

Who else was in the shop at the time of
the robbery, Mr. Crawford? Try to remember.

Nobody.
Are you sure?

Positive.

Okay, what's our cover?

I checked in as Nancy Drew,
sports writer High Life Magazine.

No, I mean, our cover.
What do I get to be?

We need an operative
from the inside.

Someone who can move around the
hotel without creating any suspicion.

Hmm. A go-go dancer.

No.

A blackjack dealer?

Oh, no...

Perfect casting.
You look great.

I knew you'd get the job.
Nancy...

Trust me. Don't worry about a
thing. I've got it all worked out.

You wanted to be a detective,
now you've got your chance.

Now I want you to search Karen's
room, see if you can find that watch.

And search everything, air
vents, medicine cabinets...

'Cause her father says she can find
ingenious hiding places for the stuff.

I have a question.
Yeah.

What happens in your ingenious
foolproof plan if I get caught?

You'll think of something.

That's what I thought
you'd say.

What's your first move?
Karen.

(PEOPLE CLAPPING)

NANCY: Sandor Castelli.

Where's your concentration, Karen?
Come on. You're hitting to my forehand.

This isn't tennis
you're playing.

Sorry, Paco.

PACO: You're not hurting
my game, honey.

Whatever you say, Paco.

Oh, whatever I say,
whatever I say.

Let's break for a while.

I thought she was pretty good.

Pretty good?

She's great!

Karen!

Nancy?

Nancy Drew, it is you!

Listen, I'll see you in
a minute, okay. Sure.

Hi...

I didn't even think
you'll remember me.

For a moment I didn't.
Gee, it must be five years.

It's good to see you.
You, too. How are you?

Al right.

Karen, we have to talk about
that press conference at 2:00.

Jim, let me introduce you
to an old friend, Nancy Drew.

Well, I wish my old school
friends looked like you.

How are you? I'm Jim Roper.
Nice to meet you.

Jim handles
all the press here.

He knows every sports
writer in the country.

Keeping up with them
is tough enough

but I also have to
throw out the party crashers.

You get a lot of those?

(LAUGHS)
Are you kidding?

I've had tournaments where
people actually pose as sports writers.

Can you believe that?

Hard to.

People can be deceptive,
can't they?

Yeah, what're you
doing here, Nancy?

I'm here
as Sandor Castelli's date.

He invited me
to the championship.

Nancy, this is the first tournament that
Castelli and I have ever played in together.

He is the only major player I've
never met. Would you introduce me?

Well, Karen to be honest, it's a
little embarrassing because Castelli...

Sandor and I got into
an argument this morning

and he hates being disturbed
during practice.

Thanks.

(PEOPLE CLAPPING)

Looks to me like he's ready
to make up with you.

Looks can be deceiving.
It's a little touchy...

Why don't you just
wait here a minute, okay?

Nancy, wait a minute. This
could be just the break I need.

I've been trying
to talk Castelli

into doing a television show
this afternoon.

And so far,
he doesn't wanna do it.

You know how
temperamental he is.

Yeah, I know.

I thought maybe
if you'd talk to him,

you know, put a little feminine,
romantic pressure to work...

Sure, I'll talk to him.

Great.

Hi, there.
Hi, yourself.

I'm Sandor Castelli.

(CHUCKLES)

We haven't actually met but...

No. But are you trying to make
up for the lost time or what?

Actually, I'm the liaison
between the hotel and the players.

They have a very important
interview they'd like you to do today.

Well, I... I told him
I don't do that kind of shows.

But if you'd like to
discuss it later, maybe...

we could go to dinner.

I'm not some sort of tennis groupie hanging
around to try and bask in your glory.

Now, if I can't ask you a simple favor,
what kind of a relationship do we have?

I just thought that,
you know, maybe we...

And do that interview today!
The tournament needs you!

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING ON PA)

Nancy.

Very funny.

My career as a sports writer
ended very abruptly.

My cover now is that
I am Sandor Castelli's date.

Are you kidding!
How did you arrange that?

I didn't arrange it,
that's the problem.

You look like you've got everything
under control. I didn't think you'd find...

Where'd you find that?

On the dresser.

On the dresser?

That's the psychology behind kleptomaniacs,
Nancy. They wanna get caught.

My client's a thief. There's no question
about it. I have a thief for a client.

What do we do with that now?

We'll have to return it.

How do you return
stolen merchandise?

Well, I'll just tell them
I got it from a maid.

They'll ask which maid.

Nancy, what if they zero in on this and
find I'm the only new maid in the hotel?

It'll only be I could go to jail.
for a little while.

Nancy!

No never mind, I'll think of
something else. See you later.

(INCOHERENT CHATTERING)

They're all so beautiful.

I just can't decide. Could
[ try that one on, please?

Yeah, of course, you can.

It's so difficult to decide.

Of course, I really
like that one the best.

I'm gonna have to win some more
money at the tables before I can afford it.

Thank you very much.

Good gracious.
It's back again.

KAREN: Nancy!

Karen.

Our reunion
got interrupted there.

Can I get you something?
No, thank you.

I'm sorry about your fight
with Castelli.

Me, too.

He seems like such a nice guy.

Oh, I'm sure he is...

I mean, he is.

You know, you've really changed
a lot since our high school days.

What do you do now?

I work for my...

You're the one
who's such a big celebrity.

You've got a great future
ahead of you.

If I don't blow it.

Sometimes I get really, really
tired, you know.

I'm really glad
you're here, Nancy.

I need to talk to you.

It's about...
PACO: There you are.

That's the way you're gonna
practice your serve, huh?

Paco, this is an old friend,
Nancy Drew.

This is Paco Mantee,
my coach.

We were having
something of a reunion.

You're gonna tell that to
your opponent this afternoon?

Off you go, come on.

I'm sorry.

(WOMAN ANNOUNCING ON PA)

You are really very rude,
aren't you?

I'm not paid to be polite.

Are you her coach
or her father figure?

I'm also her friend. Why?

Why don't you try
being her friend,

she certainly
seems to need one.

Miss...
Drew.

Drew.

Out there on the court
she's on her own.

Winning is a lonely business.

Losing is even lonelier.

That's not what I mean.

Karen has problems.
I'm sure you know about that.

The only problem she has
is she's easily distracted.

Now if you'll excuse me.

Cleaning lady, how come
you're not doing your work?

Hey, detective lady, how come
you're not doing your work?

Karen couldn't have done this.

Wanna see if Jimmy "The Greek"
will take that bet?

Nancy, you can't keep going
and returning stolen goods for her.

There's nothing more
you can do.

No, it doesn't add up.
The M.O.'s all wrong.

Huh?

Karen's not a cat burglar,
she's a kleptomaniac.

There's a big difference?

Yes.

Karen's got
a psychological problem,

probably has something to do
with all the pressure she's under.

She sees a necklace,
a bracelet, she picks it up.

Underneath, she probably
wants to get caught.

You said that yourself.

Whoever did this,
does not want to get caught.

I hope you're right.

So do I.

Well, Miss Drew,
what a surprise.

Don't tell me.
Let me guess.

You talked your way
into my job.

That's not the way it was. I hope
you're not gonna hold that against Karen.

No, why should I?

I just hope you're not gonna
try and get even by hurting her.

Miss Drew, I'm a professional.

That means I have to
make a living at what I do.

Karen's father released me
from any obligation I had to her.

That means she's fair game.

You're not gonna try and
implicate her on today's robbery.

Oh, you bet I am.

And anything else that silver
spooned little brat pulls off.

And I've got one advantage
over everybody else here.

I know who the thief is
and so do you.

Please, give me a chance to
clear her. Give her a chance.

You still think that
Karen isn't a thief?

I'm telling you
she's not this thief.

You're wrong, Miss Drew.
You're being had.

Maybe.
All I want is some time.

I'm in no hurry. The more she
steals, the bigger the reward.

And if you've any ideas about
copping the reward money for yourself,

just forget it 'cause
I'll get your license lifted

and have your fanny thrown
into jail for conspiracy to defraud.

Have you got that? Good.
Yeah, I got it.

Well then, why not enjoy
Glitter Gulch.

I know I will.

(PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)

Game to Miss Phillips.

Miss MacKenzie leads
four games to three, first set.

That's the way.

Miss Phillips leads five
games to two in the final set.

(CROWD CLAPPING)

Game, set and match to Miss
Phillips, six-four and six-two.

NANCY: Karen.

Hi, Nancy.

Congratulations. How does
it feel to be in the finals?

Scary.

(WOMAN CHATTERING ON PA)

I love jewelry.

I know.

I mean, we all do. Are you
waiting here for someone?

I'm having dinner with Paco.
When he finishes.

We didn't get a chance to finish our talk,
I thought maybe you'd like to talk now.

I was going to ask you if you
wanted to join us for dinner,

but I see
you've already got a date.

Now maybe you'll introduce us.

Sure. Just a minute.

Don't worry,
I came to apologize.

Are you Italian?
No, why?

Well, most of the crazy ladies
I know, are Italian.

No, I'm not Italian.

I want to explain to you
what happened today...

I know what happened, I
can still feel it on my face.

I mean I want to explain
to you why it happened.

Why?

Don't you ever insult me
like that again!

I like her, she tickles me,
you know that?

She just tickles me.

Hey, look, Nancy. That was
enough. He can't get away with that.

I don't care how big a
superstar he is. Oh, he's not bad,

just a little temperamental.

No, I think it's time
we taught him a lesson.

I'm going straight to
Howard Cosell with this...

(EXCLAIMS)

(CHATTERING)

How much longer, Paco?
I'm starving... I don't know.

Look, darling,
it's getting late.

You have a big match tomorrow.
The biggest of your life.

You should get to bed early,
get all the rest you can, if you can.

But Paco...
Darling, darling...

You can order up some room
service. Anything you want.

Hit.

Good night, Paco.
Good night, baby.

Paco, where's Karen?

I sent her to bed.

I need 500 more.

I'm afraid you'll have to
pay for those chips, Paco.

What are you talking about?
I'm good for that.

Let's not discuss it here.

No more credit.
Hey, hey. Wait a minute.

This is Paco Mantee
you're talking to.

I got that.

You're carrying
to many markers on you.

If you wanna play, you'll have
to play. That's from upstairs.

Well, I'll settle them up.

Let's do it now.

Tomorrow.

Whenever you say.

$100, no more.
Hey, wait.

Paco.

Can you tell me what happened
to that lady who was sitting there?

The one with the jewels?
Oh, that one?

She left just before Karen.

Card.

(SIREN WAILING)

(CHATTERING ON RADIO)

No doubt about it.

Gained entrance
with the credit card.

Hey, you look surprised.

Say, didn't you know there
was a robbery last night?

Oh, it's a big one.

Police won't say how much was
taken but I know the dame that was hit.

I can tell you that she wears a million
bucks on her fingers and around her neck

when she goes to the bathroom.
Do they have any leads?

We both know who did it.
I'm going to nail that little brat.

Right out there on the Center
Court on national television.

Right after she wins
or loses that final.

What kind of a grandstand play
are you talking about?

I am just choosing
the right moment.

You don't have any evidence.

She's a thief.

I don't know how
you got the watch back,

but this time you're
out of your depth, lady.

Keep hitting to her
backhand. It's weak.

Nancy.

Karen Phillips?

That's right.

I'm Lieutenant Holt.
Las Vegas police.

We'd like to ask you
a few questions.

I'm sorry, she has a match
that starts soon.

Well, I can't help that.

Would you come with
me, please? Wait a minute.

Don't you realize this is the
final match for the championship?

What's going on?
Another robbery.

Enough is enough!

Karen's guilty.
You've got to face facts.

I'm investigating a crime,
Mr. Mantee.

Come on, let's go.

What kind of crime?

A robbery.

Third one in the hotel,
in the last 24 hours.

Last night somebody robbed Mrs.
Sheldrake of a diamond necklace,

a bracelet and four rings
worth one million dollars.

We found this on the floor
of the hotel room.

Go back and search Karen's
room, right away, again.

It was stolen.

My credit card was stolen the
day that I arrived in Las Vegas.

Did you report that?
No.

I was going to but...

But you didn't.

Nancy.

Who's this?
Nancy Drew.

I'm a friend of Karen's.

PACO: Lieutenant.

Karen is playing
in a championship tournament!

All of her energy and
concentration is fixed on that!

I told her I would report the
stolen credit card to the company

and to the police.

And did you?

No, I... I was going to.

Well, if she's innocent, she'll have
no objection to our searching her room.

Searching her room?

Don't you need
a search warrant for that?

Yes, you're right. We do.
And we have one.

Would you come with us,
please.

I don't get it.
There's nothing here.

Oh, no. The police.

All right.
Let's start in here.

Check around back there.

Lieutenant,
this ridiculous search

is destroying this girl's
chances for the championship.

Hey!
Huh?

What are you doing here?

Maid...
Just going to do the room.

The room's been done.

I was just checking.

COP 1: Nothing in here,
Lieutenant.

COP 2: Nothing here either,
Lieutenant.

Well, either arrest her
or let her go.

Just don't leave the hotel,
Miss Phillips.

Leave the hotel... She's playing
at the championship at 2:00.

We'll be around.

What am I gonna do?
Oh, Karen, don't worry.

They didn't find anything.
It's okay.

I didn't know if they'd
find anything or not.

It could have been me, Nancy.
It could have been me.

Well, it wasn't.

Don't panic. Look, I've handled
it. Everything's under control.

Nothing will go wrong.

Don't worry, don't worry. It's all
fixed, I took care of everything.

It'll all be over
this after no con. Trust me.

I will be at the match myself.
Nothing will go wrong.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Goodbye.

Hi.

Oh, well, what happened?

They didn't find anything
in Karen's room.

Would you believe I've had about
30 phone calls in the last 20 minutes?

Ever since she was seen with
the police. Can you beat that?

I've got to put out some kind
of story. I can't kill this one.

This one? It's okay. I
know about her problem.

Everybody in the circuit
knows about her problem.

There was an incident at another
hotel. Paco and I hushed it up.

I'd better get this released.

Wait a minute. Before you
make a fool out of yourself.

I can assure you that Karen Phillips
did not steal that woman's jewelry.

Oh, really?

And on what grounds
are you making that deduction?

Friendship
or feminine intuition?

I do investigative work. You
can call it loyalty, if you like.

It's kind of the opposite to
selling out to the highest bidder.

Oh, come on, give her a break,
she's innocent.

Okay.

Okay. I'll suppress the story
for as long as I can.

Good. Thank you.

I hear the police came up empty
when they searched Karen's room.

That's right.

I wonder
where she hid those jewels.

You're so sure she's guilty.

You don't give up, do you?

No. But the fact that you do,
makes me wonder.

About what?

Well, you know as well as anyone
that kleptomania on Karen's level

is hardly the same thing as
professional second story work.

(CHUCKLES)

But I don't remember hearing
anything about how the thief

broke into the penthouse
to steal the jewels.

Maybe the door was open.

Maybe... Maybe they used
a credit card like last time.

That's an awful lot
of maybes.

I thought you were supposed
to be such a good detective.

Well, I bow to you,
little lady.

Have you got the answers?

No, but at least
I can remain objective.

(CHUCKLES) Oh, no, no, no.

No... You're working overtime
to prove your client is innocent.

That's not objectivity.

I intend to let the chips fall
where they may.

Even if it's on your client's
pretty little head.

Stick around till the end
of her tennis match.

That'll be quite a show.

Point, game to Miss Phillips.

Lovely Karen Phillips showing every
sign of being tomorrow's super star,

born here today on the courts
of the Las Vegas Gold Cup.

All right then,
it's game to Karen

making it four games
to three in the final set.

And Angie Graham is on
the short end with Karen...

Nancy, this is hardly the time
to be watching television.

We've got to keep track of the game.
I've got to get down there for the end.

Bender promised a big finish.
He's got something up his sleeve.

Do you really expect to find
anything in his briefcase?

He's one of the most
tacky guys I've ever met

but he's not stupid.

Those aren't jewels.

Credit card receipts.

Anything incriminating?

Airfare, car rental, meals...

Pretty expensive meals.

Maybe he's expecting
a big reward in the future.

Yeah.

MAN ON TV: It's all going
young Karen Phillips' way.

When you're hot, you're hot.

It looks like the birth
of a new champion.

What could stop her now?

Some hot rocks?

It isn't funny, George.
Let's go.

Where to?
Roper's room.

Roper? What's he
got to do with anything?

I told you about the phone
call he made. He says,

"Don't worry. I'll handle it.
Everything will be okay after the finals."

He could be
up to his neck in this.

Open it.

Aren't you clutching at
straws? I don't think so.

Roper admitted to knowing
about Karen's problem.

That means he could have used
it to cover up an important robbery.

What for?

A motive isn't as important
as opportunity in this case.

There's a lot of reasons
to need money.

Knowing how
to cover up a crime,

now that narrows it down to the few
people who knew about Karen's problem.

Heading into the final set and it's all
systems go for young Karen Phillips.

There's no stopping her now.

I'll say one thing
for this guy. He's neat.

What?

I've never seen anybody put dirty
shirts on hangers in a laundry bag.

No jewelry?
No jewelry.

(APPLAUSE ON TV) Another
service break for Karen Phillips.

One more game and it's
all over. A new champion.

Come on.

Thank goodness, we've been
creeping around hotel rooms.

We aren't through.
We got one more.

What?

GEORGE: Whose room is this?

Paco Mantee's.

Nancy, why would he be
out to hurt Karen?

He's her coach.
If she wins, he wins.

Unfortunately he's been losing
a lot on his own.

It's just possible
he couldn't afford to wait.

Love thirty.
Point to Karen Phillips.

It's almost all over folks.
The upset of the year.

The courage and spirit of
this little girl is phenomenal.

It's her serve
and here she goes.

Listen, there's nothing
in here but magazines.

Yeah, I guess coaches don't have
a whole lot to put in a briefcase.

Receipts.

Paco's airfare,
the tournament.

What about it?

Let's go.

Game seven,
match to Miss Phillips.

Two-six, six-three, six-four.

(CHEERING)

Paco, we did it.
We did it.

You did it, sweetheart.
You did it.

Hey, what are you doing?
Get away from that bag!

This Miss Phillips' bag?

Yes. So what?

What is this? What's going on?

REPORTER: Miss Phillips, please,
one more picture, Miss Phillips!

(CHATTERING)

Tell them it's a lie, darling.
Tell them it's a lie.

I can't.

I can't, Paco.

Don't you see,
I don't know anymore.

Sweetheart...

Miss Phillips, I'm gonna
have to place you under arrest.

Take her down to book her.
Don't go out that way.

I'm going with you.

You have our gratitude,
Mr. Bender.

And I should imagine
a sizable reward as well.

Just doing my job, Lieutenant.

Karen. Karen.

Let me through. I'm her
father. Let me through, please...

You?

You were supposed to
help her, to protect her.

I can help her.

Oh, you can help her, sure,
I've seen what you can do.

Now, stay away from her. Just
stay away from her, do you hear?

Let me through,
I'm her father.

Don't worry, Nancy.
It's not your fault.

Yes, it is.
We should've been here sooner.

What for? We're no closer to knowing
what's going on than we were before.

Yes, we are. Listen, I want
you to convince Lieutenant Holt

that I know
who the real thief is.

Me? He doesn't even know me.

Where are you gonna be?
McCarran Airport.

Tell him if he doesn't get there soon
enough I'm gonna be in real danger.

(MUTTERING)

Danger!

Mr. Bender!

Mr. Bender! Excuse me.

I'm glad I caught you.
What?

What I mean is,

you left in such a hurry, I
didn't get a chance to tell you

what I think
of your detective work.

Well, we all make mistakes.
You'll learn.

I'll learn a lot more, if you'll
just talk to me for a few minutes.

Well, I've a plane to catch.
If you don't mind.

Oh, but I do.

I didn't get a chance to tell
you how impressed I was

with the way
you pulled off the robbery.

The big one, I mean.

Goodbye, Miss Drew.

You know, what gave it away

was that you always were
at the hotel alone.

You arrived alone,
you left alone.

I don't think you ever even ate
a meal with anybody in public.

Let me say this one more time,
very politely... Get lost!

Isn't that curious?

What's curious?

I'd like to hear
the answer to that.

What's this all about, Miss Drew?
And it had better be important.

Would a million dollars in
stolen jewels be important to you?

The jewels have been
recovered. All of them.

And the thief is in jail.

The girl that you framed
is in jail.

I suspect that the real thief is
somewhere in this waiting room.

Bender was with me at the
time of the robbery, Miss Drew.

I didn't say
that Bender was the thief.

Listen, you dimwitted,
little dame,

the jewels
have all been recovered.

I am leaving here with a
briefcase and a dirty shirt.

Lieutenant...

Can I go now?

Come on, Bender. Step out
of line. Let's talk about this.

Mr. Bender's being
entirely too modest.

He's also going away with a quarter
million dollars in reward money.

You did make a deal with the
insurance company for 25%, didn't you?

Twenty-five percent
is not unusual.

But it's little unfair if you hired a
crook to pull off the robbery yourself.

Why don't you ask Mr. Bender to
explain why he has airfare charges

on his credit card receipts more
than double the amount of Paco's.

Well, maybe Paco flew economy.

Lieutenant, come on.

I believe it's because he
bought two round trip tickets.

If you check everybody's
ticket here in this room...

Look, Lieutenant!
HOLT: Get her.

POLICEMAN: Stop! Police!

Nancy.

Mr. Bender,
I wouldn't if I were you.

Right there, Mr. Bender.
Neither would I.

NANCY: It's beautiful.

It should be.
It belongs to the champion.

We now have a full confession
from Bender.

The girl
did the actual stealing.

Well, I'd eliminated Paco.

I even suspected you for a moment
when you took that phone call.

All I did all day,
was talk to newspapers.

You were also right, Nancy,
about Bender not returning

those items to the store.

Stolen items.

I'm in a lot of trouble,
aren't I?

Well, I think your father
will be able to straighten

all that out
when you get back home.

But that's not good enough.
Is it?

I never really thought
I needed help.

I do.

Don't worry, Nancy.

She'll have the best help
money can buy.

Here comes your fellow.

Oh, no, no. This time
you're going to introduce...

Yeah, well...

I got you.
Not this time, you don't.

I wanna get something out of this
relationship before you hit me again.

Mr. Castelli...

After all we've been through,
you can call me Sandor. All right?

Could we discuss
this meaningful relationship

at a later date?
Because...

Sure, why not? How
about a dinner tonight, huh?

That'd be great.

I mean it.

Fine, so do I.

Sandor, I'd like to introduce
you to some friends of mine.

You know, Karen Phillips.

Yeah.
