All language subtitles for The Rockford Files S05e07 Three Day Affair With A Thirty Day Escrow_prob3

You were kidnapped
by the Arabs.

They were hot to get their hands
on a young woman, Khedra Aziz.

And I don't think they wanted
to elect her Miss El Monte.

I am already dead.

You're not going to call the
police, are you?

We're just going
to get in deeper.

Deeper is when you
withhold evidence, Einstein.

It is not your place to speak
unless you are spoken to.

What do I get for contempt of court?
A bug down my shirt?

Death is punishment
for such thing.

This is Jim Rockford,

At the tone, leave your name
and message.

I'll get back to you.

Rockford?

Alice, Phil's Plumbing.

We're still
jammed up on a job,

so we won't be able
to make your place.

Use the bathroom at the
restaurant one more night.

Mr. Rockford,

first, if we have caused you
inconvenience, apologies.

Inconvenience?
Are you serious?

I get yanked out of my bed at gunpoint,
told to forget about my clothes,

it's 3:00 in the morning...
Inconvenience, huh?

Doctors say I should not be
walking around in late hours.

My bad luck is
angina pectoris.

Mr. Rockford, sir,
you worked some weeks ago for a man

named Seen “mes?

It's pronounced Shawn.

Oh, now, hey...
Hey, look, look, I...

I run a small one-man
detective agency. I...

I don't offer the services that
all the big companies offer.

I really have to work
at what I do offer,

like client confidentiality.

Hasan AI-Qawari has not
gone to bed yet, has he?

If he's free, have him
to come in here, please.

We have here
one of your bills,

charging Mr. Innes for three
days missing persons work.

$715.

We believe you were searching
for a woman named Khedra Aziz.

It's so, isn't it?

All right, none of this is worth
getting my neck broken over.

You want to tell your friend
to get his hands off my body?

Mmm.

Look, “mes mm me
that he spent

a ski weekend with
Khedra up in Mammoth

and she cleared out and took his
jewelry, luggage, ski wear.

Hey, now I can't help
it, that's what he told me.

Said she had some friends up in the
Arabic community in San Francisco.

I went up there,
checked around, no go.

Somebody said that she
might have flown to Nice.

She never arrived
at the Nice.

I'm not her travel agent.

This must be settled.
We must know for sure.

I don't blame you, lady.

Hi, Officer. Officer, I...
I can explain.

Officer, I was...
Could you give me a lift home?

Lieutenant, if I may,
why would Jim make this up?

Let's look at this rationally.

No, no, you look at it
if you want to, Becker.

It means entering
the world of gonzo logic.

Now that's just some trip I don't
want to take. Life's too short.

All right, forget about
what they did to me, huh?

They were hot to get their hands
on a young woman, Khedra Aziz.

And I don't think they wanted
to elect her Miss El Monte.

Suppose she's in danger?

Oh, the old
"woman in jeopardy" routine.

It's 4:30 in the morning.
Will you get off my wire, Rockford?

You know, I think you were just
tossed out of some house in Bet-Air.

And you!
Who, me?

Yes, I don't ever want to be bothered
by any of his flaky cop-outs ever again.

How do you get suckered
into these things?

But...
Never mind!

Never mind.

A lot of homes
in Bet-Air have tried

to ape the French
architectural quality.

To me, most of them
just don't make it.

Now this one's
a true Loire Valley chéteau,

Could have been designed
by Bruant or Mansart.

Yes, but it wasn't,
Mr. Margulies.

It was designed
by Ben Kopka.

He also designed mummies'
tombs for 19305 horror films.

Aha! Well, you've
researched the plot plans

down at the Department of
Building and Safety. Thank God.

You know, there's nothing
worse to us real estate agents

than schlepping through
a property with a client

who's a babe
in the woods.

That's why I use the copter.

It gives the big view before we
get into the noisome specifics.

Really? I thought the chopper
might be an affectation.

Let me speak frankly,
Mr. Lamont.

Go.

Now, I can understand your not
wanting to tell me who you represent.

I can understand
the need for anonymity

in a transaction like this.

I can understand because I've
been there many, many times.

Now, I've sold homes to a lot of
very, very famous people

and I... I know what happens.
It gets out.

Sol understand how
you feel, you see.

Charo, for example,
wants to move to Bet-Air.

Well, first thing you know,
it causes a great furor

and the lady, the star,
gets zero privacy.

So, I know exactly
how you feel.

You've done
business with Charo?

Oh, just an example,
just an example.

Charo, Gregg and Cher,
when they were still together,

Ringo Starr, Liza, Barbra...

All major, major people.

No offense, Mr. Margulies,
but there are names and there are names.

Oh, not really.

I'm sorry, but I can't really
tell you who I'm working for.

Oh, absolutely.
I only wanted you to know.

But, you ask me personally,
if three-five is a fair price.

It's a divorce thing.

The owner is motivated.
It may be $40,000 or $50,000 too high,

but that's what?
The grace notes?

Well, my employer
would probably tell you

it took her many,
many long years

to accumulate
3,500,000 grace notes.

Absolutely. I...

It took "her"?

I did let something
slip, didn't I?

I suppose in this area,
it's just as important

who buys a house as well
as how much they pay.

Not really.

What is a house actually?

What are we talking about after you've
stripped away all the tchotchkes?

Enclosed space.

Yeah, that's why...

That's why Sean told me
he liked working for you.

It's the sane atmosphere.

Sean?

Sean Innes.

I met him at
Aspen last year.

I've known
Sean Innes socially.

He's a very nice man,
but he doesn't work for me.

That's strange.
He specifically said he did.

He showed me a payroll check
during a blackjack game.

Someone's laboring
under a misapprehension.

Sean's a writer,
a fine one, too.

I don't know how I could
have misunderstood him.

I've been trying to get in touch
with him since I got to town,

but he's gone
from his apartment.

You might know
where I could reach him?

No, not really.

What are your first
impressions of the place?

I mean,
are the juices right?

Because before
we go inside

and waste everybody's time
on details,

I think we should all know
if we're in the ballpark.

What, the inside of the house
is now a detail?

Well, let me see.

I think you can say
we're in the ballpark.

It's large enough to
allow for a security staff.

And the two children want
California, especially Caroline.

Mr. Lamont,

let's speak frankly.

Are we talking here about
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis?

Now, I didn't say that and you'd
do well not to repeat anything

you've heard here today.
Absolutely.

It's like you said,
you've dealt with the very, very famous.

It's no big deal.
Absolutely.

I don't think I'd be speaking out of
school if I said to you that those names

I mentioned before
are just chicken liver.

I mean, what is
show business fame?

Forget it!
I mean, I think that you...

I mean, she could
trust me implicitly.

And absolutely.
Oh, absolutely, I'm sure.

Evening, Mr. Rockford.

Hey, look at this.

I found a .38
in your cookie jar.

I hope you didn't spoil
your appetite on sweets.

Say, look,
Mr. Rockford,

it has been bandied about that
you're looking for Sean Innes.

I am here to find out why
is how come I'm here.

You... You won't mind if I get up
off my floor, will you, Mr. Ludes?

Yeah, well, look,
I'll tell you what happened, really.

You see, sometimes PIs
are hired

by lawyers executing wills.
Now, I'm not warranting

that Mr. Innes is going to
come into any money,

but then I wouldn't
rule that out either.

You see,
in a case like this...

You are stalling for time,

and boy,
that really frosts me!

Oh, hey, buddy, do you have
any idea of your strength, huh?

Hey, look, I'm not going
to rankle you anymore,

I promise, I promise. I'm going to
give you the whole straight dope.

Look, Innes hired me
to do some work for him.

Well, he... He wanted me to find somebody.
I don't know what...

Okay, pal. Okay, how do you
like the champagne, huh?

Festive, huh?

All right, who sent you?
What's the story?

Let me go, mister!
Let me up! I'll kill you!

I'm not telling you nothing!

Oh, really?

Let me see now.

"Malibu homeowner
shoots intruder.

"Eight-foot picnic ham
shot and killed

"while breaking into
a trailer illegally.

"The police..."
All right, all right.

Sean had me come over.

Oh, well, isn't he a sweetheart?
Now where is he?

Where is...
Up on Angelo Drive.

He's up there with some broad.
I think he's hiding out.

Look, he give me a couple of Thai
Sticks if I come over and check you out.

Some real estate buddy has told
him that you was looking for him

and Sean got scared.

Oh, he doesn't know
what scared is.

All right, Mr. Ludes,

you're going to spend the night as a
guest of the County of Los Angeles.

I'll get you
for this, dude.

I swear, man,
I promise with my last breath,

you're gonna wish
you'd never seen me

'cause I'm gonna see a lawyer
about this cork in the eye thing.

And you're gonna be looking at one
hell of a personal injury suit.

Oh, yeah.

I---

Well, I thought you were the
carpool for my daughter's school.

Yeah, I'm Carl Purdue.

Is Sean Innes around?
He called me late last night.

He wanted me to bring some
books and stuff to him.

Yeah, he's out there
someplace. Come on in.

I know it's early.
I'm sorry to get you out of bed.

There is precious little reason
to stay in bed around here.

Angelina? Angelina!

Want some
agua Del cool, huh?

How about it? Now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute!

What is with you, Innes? You're
really something, you know? You know?

We're basically strangers,
then I get dragged out of my bed,

and I worry about the fact that
you might have been killed,

so what do I get
for thanks?

You send some bozo over
to bash my head in.

All right. Now, listen, I don't blame
you for wanting to get to your anger.

I mean, I handled it wrong
sending Ludes over there.

I know he's unpredictable.

I just really wanted to find
out why you were looking for me.

I didn't want him
to get into your space.

Yeah, well,
you start explaining the Arab problem

or I'll get into your space
in a big way.

I wish I knew more about it, Jim.
Really I do.

They got to me first.
They busted into my apartment.

Talk about violence.

I mean, I didn't get a
word out when one of them

took his fist and he
smashed it into my face.

I managed to run out,
you know, but...

But my nasal septum is damaged.
My nose is full of packing.

Uh-huh. Yeah.

So you squirrel away up here
where everybody's wearing linen

instead of clothes.
All right, all right.

Let's start with you and Khedra Aziz.
Who is she to you really?

Boy. Oh, boy... Okay.

Khedra was a housekeeper at a place,
you know, where I used to play tennis.

Our interchanges were unusual
for me vis--vis a woman.

A relationship was forming.

We really started to see where
we could share some space.

Are you telling me that you fell in love?
With a housekeeper?

Is that what
you're trying to say?

Ah, love... I mean,
I can't deal with that.

Why the story about Khedra
ripping you off, huh?

Well, as our feelings intensified,
she became frightened.

I guess the honesty got to be too much.
She took off.

And I was afraid that
you wouldn't want to...

You wouldn't want
to track her down,

you know, I mean if you knew
that she took off on her own.

And how right you were.

How right you were.

Now that I see what the situation
here up in Happy Acres is,

who could blame me, huh?

You see, that's why I don't
involve myself in domestic cases.

There's always a lady in
a sheet around somewhere.

Now, wait a minute, wait a minute.
Miriam and I work together.

We raise money
for the Film Institute.

When she heard I was having difficulty,
she invited me to stay here.

Women respond to me.
I don't know why.

I used to question it,
I don't anymore.

You know,
I just go with it.

Well, you're
a good-looking guy,

the soulful eyes,
the whole bit.

But I think, really, it's that...
That honesty.

Oh, Angelina, Angelina.

You want something, Rockford?

Hold it, Angelina.

Now you listen, boy chick.

There is a routine around here
and things go on in the am.

Where the hell do you think you are,
the bloody Hotel Eden Roc or something,

ordering steak and eggs
and champagne yet?

Listen,
I'm not feeling very well.

You're not feeling well? Well,
after two nights with you, neither am I.

Now you pack up
and get out.

Miriam,
hey, you're not serious?

Serious? Serious?
Buddy, I am grim. Out!

You're embarrassing me.

Out!

You can leave with me.

We can go over to the house where Khedra
works, if we can get a line on her.

Oh, no, no.
I can't go over there. I...

Innes, I'm tired of being
in trouble because of you.

You go pack or I'll
unpack your nose.

All right.

Khedra's brother? Are you sure?
He looked lethal.

And rich.

About Miriam,

you know, it was pure
physical depletion

that caused that problem
she was talking about.

That's never happened to me before
and probably never happen again.

The truth is I've been
battling this insidious case

of mononucleosis
these past weeks.

I should see my doctor.

Yeah, well, when illness interferes
with your work, you should.

I've seen that
notebook you have.

How many broads with money do
you have on the hook, exactly?

You make it sound mechanical.

I answer basic human
needs, caring, affection.

Oh, I do feel sick.

Would you like
a second opinion?

Fear is what causes
that lack of steam.

It's hard to get excited about old
Miriam when you keep picturing yourself

hanging upside down while some
Arab's picking your teeth.

Emotions never
affect my performance.

A real trooper, huh?

This is cute.
Khedra worked here?

It's the same mausoleum that I
toured with your friend Margulies.

So?

So? My coincidence
meter is redlined

and you've got sweat
on the top of your lip.

Why did Margulies deny
you worked for him?

Well, well, I...

I think it's all going to
come out in the wash anyway.

And soon.

Oh...

Wait a minute,
what are you doing?

You're not going to call the
police, are you?

We're just going
to get in deeper.

Deeper is when you
withhold evidence, Einstein.

Sergeant, please.

Dennis, this is Jim.

You better get up where I'm
at, 2424 Copa De Oro.

A man's been killed.

Right, I understand
what you're saying.

Yeah.

Well, there's nothing
I can do about it.

Right.

Becker,

who handles
something like this?

Would it be
ballistics or forensics?

I just spoke with Cummings at ballistics,
and he wants some kind of a ruling on it.

Oh, brother.

Okay, Rockford,
out in the foyer.

Listen, Becker, what is this
about the victim being a sheik

from the Arab
Democratic Republic?

He's a sheik all right.
He owns this place.

His name is
Mohamed Farhud Aziz.

Anything ringing upstairs,
Lieutenant?

Yeah, Rockford, yeah.

You claimed you were
kidnapped by the Arabs.

Well, we'll get to you
in a minute.

Yeah, well, get to this.
The woman they were looking for,

her name, as I told you,
was Khedra Aziz.

That was her name?

Who's in charge here?

Deputy Chief Gorman?

There is somebody in charge?

Right here, sir.

Brief me, Chapman.

Well, sir,
apparently it seems

that the victim was also
the owner of this residence,

approximately
30 years of age.

Becker,
the hard data, please.

The ME says the cause of death
appears to be a skull fracture

apparently resulting from cranial
impact with a blunt instrument,

to wit,
a glass swordfish figurine.

Best estimate, he's been dead
since about midnight last night.

Witnesses?
Negative.

I spoke to the butler at his home.
He's on his way down.

He said that the victim
was going through a divorce

and the wife is not present
in the residence.

He also said the household
staff and security

were given the night off
last night by the victim.

Uh-huh. Who found the body?

I did. Jim Rockford.
I'm a PI.

There was
another man with me.

His name is Sean Innes,
but he took off.

Thank you, Mr. Rockford,
I'll fill the chief in.

He's interested in this case
primarily because of the...

Doug, let him finish.

Well, the fact is
I was working on a case

involving the dead man's wife,
Khedra Aziz.

I was kidnapped. I reported it,
but at the time it was just a big yuk.

I got no action.

Who yuked?

Lieutenant Chapman,
rather than go into all this just now,

why don't you submit to me in
writing a report of what happened

and why the complaint
wasn't filed?

Yes, sir.

What are you gonna do?

It goes with the lieutenant's
shield that you take the flak

for everybody
down the line.

You own all the flak,
Chapman, and you know it.

Lieutenant...
Becker, I don't want you to worry.

We're still going
to break this case.

Now take Vincent,
get over to the Bellagio Hotel,

pick up
the Arabian contingent.

If you'd have done that
the other night,

the little guy with the archery
set might still be alive.

Lieutenant, if I may, maybe now
is not the time to make that move,

what with all the pressure
and secrecy from the top.

Becker,
my job is to solve homicides!

Now this guy Innes,
if he's a friend of yours,

I think I should tell you that
he looks best for this murder.

He ran away from the scene, right?
But we're gonna nail him.

Yeah, well,
he's not a friend of mine,

but he ran away in my car,
so be careful with the nails.

Angelina!

Angelina!

Oh, Jim, listen, hey...
Sean, you know what?

I'm going to do something
I've never done before.

Usually, I like to
talk to a guy first,

but with you, I'm going to
rap you right in the mouth.

Now, now. There,
there, there, there.

Now maybe I can talk to you
without getting all riled up, huh?

Well, not as riled up.

Really, really,
I'm sorry I ran out on you, Jim.

I didn't know what else to do.
The cops would have traced me.

I tell you, Jim, I tell you,
I'm at the end of my tether.

Yeah, here, here.

Miriam would only let me stay
this time on the condition

that I do the housework,

that I change the bottled
water and I clean the pool.

Oh, from stud to schlepper.
That's tragic.

Of course, we're both
in deep trouble, Innes.

Look, I don't think you killed
Aziz, but the cops do.

So you're gonna have to start talking
about the affair you had with Aziz's wife.

It looks bad, real bad.

I really am a fraud,
you know, Jim?

Yeah.

I don't know why
I'm acting this way.

I...

I haven't even told my shrink about
it, you know.

But I've been hiding out,
both in fact and in my emotions.

I've been hiding out
from myself.

It's almost like
I was... I was...

Let's talk about the troubles
outside your head, huh?

That's where all
my problems are.

I mean, just let me...
Let me get a couple aspirin.

My... My...
I don't feel well.

I'm going to
level with you, Jim.

I'm very good
with women, you know.

Now, look, why does a house
come on the market?

Change, right?
Death, new job, divorce.

Well, sometimes if Cy Margulies
wanted to sell a particular house

and that house showed no
signs of coming on the market,

why, he'd do what he could
to create a climate of change.

Are you telling me
that he creates divorces?

Well, sometimes
he would create a situation

for a couple
whereby divorce follows.

That's why he uses only women real
estate agents, attractive ones.

I mean, they make the moves on the
husband, then get him into the sack,

and before you know it,
divorce court.

Oh, that's why the Aziz
mansion came up for sale.

No, see, the Aziz thing
was atypical.

When Aziz hit Bet-Air from the old
country, he blew a few circuits.

He was like a kid
in a candy store.

Partying all the time,
sleeping around.

Where do you fit in?

Margulies already had a climate
for divorce in the Aziz case.

But in spite of
what Aziz was doing,

Khedra wouldn't
divorce him.

See, she was caught up
in that transition period

between old-style Moslem wife
and contemporary woman.

No matter what the husband does,
divorce is out of the question.

You sit home,
you wait for your man.

Well, Cy wanted that house.

So he sends you in
with a box of candy

and your line
of psychobabble, huh?

And Khedra, she resisted
as long as she could,

but she was just
too miserable.

And when Aziz heard about the affair,
he filed for divorce and threw her out.

The good old double standard.

You know what happened?
I don't know, maybe...

Maybe it was guilt
or something, I don't know,

but I actually began
to love her.

Yeah.

This wispy little dodo
from the Middle East.

And I told her what I had
been doing and she took off.

Yeah, well, sport,
that's very unfortunate

because she's probably
the only person

who can tell us
why one man is dead

and why you and I
are coming close.

So we've got to find her.
Now go put your pants on.

How do we find her?
You've been looking for weeks.

Yeah, but you've been hiding
things from me all that time.

Now I know who
and what she really is,

maybe I can
find out something.

Friends, relatives?

Does she attend religious services?
Anything.

All she ever really did
was run the house.

The only people
she really got close to,

I guess, would be the staff.

She had a personal maid?

Yeah.
Concepcion Echevaria, I think.

But, listen, I mean, she was a
princess, silver spoon in the mouth,

the whole bit. I mean, people like that
don't go live with their maids, right?

People like that
can't live without them.

You know, if she is in
there, I can't go in.

I mean, she's not going to know
how to deal with her anger,

and I'm not gonna know how to
deal with her inability to deal.

And neither of us are gonna be
really be dealing from feelings.

Why don't you skip
all that minestrone?

Tell her you're sorry as
hell and you feel like a slug.

Yeah, I really do love her,
you know,

but, I mean, love is such
a heavyweight concept.

It's very hard to get
your mind around it.

Maybe you're not a slug, but I don't
know, you use all those big buzz words.

It's just a big cover
for any kind of behavior.

Look, you punch somebody
in the stomach.

You can say that you're
coming from your feelings

or you're trying to
connect with the now,

but there's still somebody laying
on the sidewalk holding a big hurt.

Yeah, I wanted her to be like
everybody else in this town.

Protected, you know what I mean,
with layers and layers of scars

and fangs of her own.

Somebody who's lived in a
bubble all her life? Come on.

I know, I know, I know.

That's what
attracted me to her.

I mean, she's a princess,

but you know what
she wanted to do?

I mean she didn't want
to boogie down at Pip's

or make the big entrance
at Ma Maison. Oh, no, no, no.

She wanted to see
the La Brea Tar Pits.

I mean, she wanted to squeeze fruit
down at the Grand Central Market.

Now wait a minute. I spent one whole
afternoon at MacArthur Park rowing.

In a boat! Me! Rowing!

Like some cornball
from East Tree Stump!

Where were you
from originally?

East Claverack.
Upstate New York.

Well, you just be
straight with her, Sean.

That's all you can do now.
Come on, let's go.

I want to,
but, God, it's hard.

May we come in?

Hit it.

Look, Khedra,

I've told you all this before.
What I did was wrong, I know.

And I know how hard
this must be for you.

I know it's very difficult for
you to express yourself fully

to male figures.

I know that you'd rather cast
yourself in the victim's role

and it's easier for me to
let you do that, you know.

But what I really want you to do is
I want you to take up your space,

I want you to
get to your guts,

and then I want you to give to me
everything you think I got coming to me.

Wait, wait...
Wait a second... Hey!

Ow! Ow! Ow!
All right, all right!

Easy, easy, easy.
Easy now, easy, easy.

Sit down, sit down.
Sit down.

Can you sit down?

You look so miserable.

I was hoping you
would look that way.

But now it does not
pleasure me.

Mrs. Aziz,
I know you've been through the mill,

but Sean and I
are in some trouble.

Well, and I believe that
you're in some trouble, too,

even though you
may not know it.

There will be
no more trouble.

Pardon?

Oh, you shouldn't have phoned
your brother! You just...

You just shouldn't
go back with him.

Concepcion,
my husband is dead,

my family is divided apart.

It has to stop.

What does?

What? Do you know who
killed your husband?

No.

The last time I speak to
Aziz was two days ago.

I called him in Europe
because I thought it proper

I should try to
go back to him.

As his unfaithful wife,

I felt terrible guilt
and shame.

But he figured out how Sean and
Cy Margulies had tricked us.

I hear him get so angry.

He say terrible things
about Sean and Cy Margulies.

That's all,
he was very angry.

He not care
if I come back.

Is that your family that's
staying at the Bellagio Hotel?

Ishaq, what are you doing?

Go to the car, Khedra.

And you two, come also
with your hands in the open.

You said father understood!

You said you
would talk to him!

Khedra, the family council is convening
and you must appear before them.

You two will be
giving testimony.

Your Mr. Cy Margulies has already
been picked up at his tennis club.

Now move silently into the
street and into the white car.

Khedra, daughter of mine,

the charge against you is that
you let yourself be bedded

by one man when you
were married to another.

The family of your husband,
Mohamed Aziz,

has demanded that
this be examined.

If it is true,
and if you are not insane

or sick in some way,
then I and your brother

must see to it that
you are punished.

Death is punishment
for such thing.

These are old things,
old ways.

But the family of Mohamed
Farhud Aziz has demanded,

and it is not for us to deny
them for we hold all shame.

I do not deny
what I did, Father,

but I beg for
your understanding.

I love Sean.

Now is not your time
to speak.

Before your uncles
and your cousins,

before these men,
testimony will be heard.

Now is time for
Amad Hibshi to speak.

Sean “mes?

Were you intimate with this
woman, Khedra Aziz?

No.

Don't lie for me, Sean.

It will do none
of us any good.

I am already dead.

This is just a formality,

a game for old men

and little boys.

Be quiet!

Some values you have
learned in this United States.

We should never
have let you come!

You, I suppose, are
Seymour Margulies?

I hope you're joking.
I'm Rockford.

Seymour Margulies.

Yes?

We understand the woman
Khedra Aziz has been tricked.

How was that done
and why?

I... I don't quite know
what you mean.

However, let me say this, regardless
of how your family dispute is resolved,

we're all businessmen.

Now, my company is
an independent concern

located solely in Beverly
Hills for some 11 years.

Now I know that people from your
part of the world are very interested

in acquiring real property
right here in the Hills,

like this store.

Make your point!

Well,

I say that let's not look at
this as the end of something,

let us look at it
as a beginning. I say...

Answer the question!

My daughter's disgrace was part of
a cheap real estate swindle, true?

I wish I could say
it were cheap, sir.

Actually, there were several
million dollars involved.

It's a sad commentary on the housing
situation in Southern California.

You are not
on trial here.

But perhaps we can devise
a way to deal with you.

You are not on trial
here either, Innes.

But tell us now about
another harm that was done.

Did you murder
Sheik Mohamed Farhud Aziz?

No
Liar!

I did not.

He soiled
the man's wife, you see.

And as always happens
in these animal situations,

the husband became the rival,

and when he tried to avenge himself
the hurt that was done to him,

this dog, this pimp,
he murdered him and ran.

I'd like to say something...

It is not your place to speak
unless you are spoken to.

What do I get for contempt of court?
A bug down my shirt?

You want my opinion as
a professional investigator?

I think that when Aziz figured out
this divorce scam, he lost control.

Who'd blame him, huh?

He got Cy to come
over to the house,

and then he was going to lock the door
and let old Cy have it with an arrow.

Now just a second here.

I think this whole thing
just is stupid.

And this is grounds for slander, buster.
Don't you forget that.

Maybe you didn't
mean to kill him.

But he had you
trapped in that room.

And who wants to die looking
like an extra in Fort Apache?

Is this true?

I didn't mean to kill him.
That's the truth!

But there was
no negotiating.

You see, he... Well,
there was this figurine.

I grabbed it.
And then...

Oh, Lord.

Does anyone have
anything else to ask?

No? Then vote, all of you.

Khedra, your family,

except for one,

your family feels you did
what you did deliberately.

And wrongly.

Not my family,
the men in my family.

You were used and fooled
in the worst way.

But you had
your conscience,

you had your faith as your
strength if you wanted to use them.

Now I and your brother

must see to it
that you are punished.

Khedra,
we will be gentle to you.

Father, please, this is crazy.
I am your daughter.

Father, she's right.
I know the council has voted,

but we can lie to the Aziz family,
tell them... Tell them it's been done.

Or we can stand up to them
and tell them the truth.

Ishaq, this makes me sick at
heart, too, you must know this!

But we cannot stand up.

We are men
stooped over with shame.

You guys are something else.
You really are.

Mr. Rockford,
if you have something to say

which might lighten the punishment
for this girl of mine, say it.

Girl of yours?

This girl of yours...
You're about to blow her head off

for cheating on her husband?

A guy who was running around
sleeping with starlets,

making her look like
a clown?

No one expects you
to understand.

These are things
which go way back.

Our family and the family Aziz
had nothing but our women.

And a few camels.

Family?
You're not a family.

A family is supposed to support their
people when they make a mistake.

I know you come from a different
culture, but you're here now.

I hate to bring you the news,
but as you gain something,

you also lose some things.

But I have my code!

That's all any man
ever really has.

Although, apparently,
my son does not.

She must be dealt with.
But at home, where she was born,

not here in a strange country.

Oh, don't go poetic on us.
You mean not here in this country

where they're going to
haul you in for murder one.

Listen, Mr. AI-Nouss,
I wish you wouldn't do this.

Look, I don't know what to
say to get through to you.

Obviously, you don't need money.
Then say nothing.

Father?

Are you all right?
I'm fine.

It's the angina.
I don't think we should take off.

We must, we must.
Where is pills?

Somebody, get some water.
Quick!

What's the matter, pal? Think I'm
hiding a machine gun or something?

I will be fine
after we take off.

No, Father, I don't think
we should take off.

Tell him to go.
Tell him to go.

You hear a noise and
this plane is still on the ground,

you grab Khedra, start screaming
and head for the front exit.

Just do it.

Private NC
four-zero-Niner,

you have Republic 402 landing in
front of you. He's a heavy jet,.

Private four-zero-Niner, you can proceed
to runway three and prepare for takeoff,

Fire! Fire! Go, go, go!
Fire! Fire!

We're on fire!

Come on, come on!
This whole thing's gonna blow!

No, Has-an, no'.!

Get under the plane!

Let's go, Father.
Let's go.

You know, it's ironic,
Jim, but I remember

talking once to Cy about
a logo for his company.

He was seriously considering
using a bow and arrow.

Well, what's that
got to do with real estate?

Nothing.

Oh, here. We were talking and
we'd like you to have this.

For appreciation and for
everything you've done.

Forget it, forget it.
Let's just let it slip into history.

As long as we all still
have our own teeth.

No, please take it.

It's my money and you can see
I very well can afford it.

Well, what's
the point of having teeth

unless you can buy
something nice to chew on?

I... I don't know
what to say.
