Okay, Jack.

Where is Jill?

Yeah.

Hello, Mrs. Miller.

Yeah, I'm very close to getting those pictures.

Now, you have that check we talked about?

Yeah. We're all beasts.

But that check is certified, right?

I got to go now, Mrs. Miller. Bye -bye.

Oh, no.

Oh, no, you don't.

Chrome, don't tell me you got to get inside.

There's going to be a fire.

Save it, save it.

I don't want to hear it.

Can't go inside, Hopson, not for another five minutes.

A friend of mine, he's an electrician. He told me there's faulty wiring in that

room. Don't you power this, Hobson. We've got too many friends.

I'm serious. I've got to get in that room. I'm serious. You're not getting

No, you're not.

No,

you're not.

Jack. Jack.

Crump, behind you. I'm not falling for that. Crump.

Fire.

Fire.

Hold it, buddy.

If I could just get one picture.

I get small as wisdom.

That's what I do, you see.

Five minutes.

That's all I needed.

Five minutes to establish instrumental relations.

But you couldn't wait, could you? Oh, no, no. You had to barge right in and

everything. But two people were going to burn to death.

How do you know that?

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

What happened to your hand?

Nothing. You burned it.

It's fine. It's nothing.

You never learn, do you?

The world will continue to spin without you pushing it all the time. I'm well

aware of that.

Come on.

Where are you going?

My office isn't too far. We'll patch that up. I'm telling you, it doesn't...

fine. Hudson, get in the car.

It's not much, but... Oh, that's nice.

What are you doing in Chicago, anyway? I thought you were in, uh, what was it,

Idaho? No, I lost everything when my cabin there blew up. No insurance.

So now you're, uh...

Spying on people? Is that what you do?

It's a living, Hobson.

As soon as I build up a stake, I'm out of this lousy city once and for all.

I'll get you some ice.

Excuse me.

I need some help.

The police gave me your name.

Oh, no, no. I think you're looking for... All I got is frozen peas.

Ham. Marian Crumb?

And you are?

I don't know.

Excuse me?

I don't know who I am. I can't remember.

You haven't been drinking.

No, I, um... I hit my head.

I came to a few hours ago.

And there were church bells.

Amnesia.

Thanks, Hobson.

I think somebody tried to kill me.

Naturally. You don't believe me?

No, no. Most women who come in with amnesia, someone's trying to kill them.

Hey, uh... I, uh... I had a pretty nasty bump over there.

Why don't you sit down here?

Here,

put this on. It's swelling down a bit.

You don't know your name, you don't know what happened, and someone may or may

not be after you.

What do you want me to do about it?

The police said that you could help.

Who?

Um, Detective, uh, Lohman.

Lomax? Yes, that's right.

Good old Walt.

I need to find out who I am, Mr. Crumb, and what's happened to me.

Fine.

I get $500 a day.

Plus expenses.

There's a $2 ,000 retainer that's up front.

$2 ,000?

I take all major credit cards.

I don't have any money. I don't even have a purse.

That's what I figured.

Thanks for stopping by.

Oh, please.

Oh, can the water works, honey?

I don't have anywhere to go.

Please.

Go back to Lomax. The police couldn't help me. Well, I'm sorry. I can't help

either.

Mr. Crane, please.

Look, I hope everything works out for you.

What? She's a kook.

Well, you were willing to take her case a few minutes ago.

That's when she was a kook with money.

Crumb, what if she was telling the truth?

She's not telling the truth, Hopson. I doubt she even knows what the truth is.

Well, what do you think, that lump on her head just came out of thin air?

she's really in trouble.

Well, that would fall under the category of not my problem.

What's wrong with you?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry.

You got to cut us in slack, Gary.

Tom's been a cop for 30 years.

What's that have to do with anything?

Tom spent his life dealing with criminals.

He learned not to trust people.

Not to mention that the last woman he fell in love with turned out to be a

crook. That kind of thing can make anyone cynical.

No, no, this was more than cynical. This woman came for help. She had nowhere to

turn. He pushed her out the door. He literally pushed her out the door.

All I'm saying is try and look at it from his point of view.

What? Who?

The woman from last night. She was telling the truth.

Unidentified body pulled from rivers.

How do you know it's her?

Because it mentions the tattoo.

What tattoo?

The tattoo. She had a tattoo. I saw the tattoo behind her ears.

It doesn't say when, where, how.

It doesn't give me anything to go on.

There's got to be something.

Crump?

Hey, Crump!

Crump?

It's Crump.

Hey, Crump, wake up.

Go away, Hobson. Crump, this is very important. What time is it? I don't

It's around nine.

I open at noon.

Crump, Crump, wake up. Jesus, Hobson.

That woman from last night, I've got to find her.

Why?

Because I believe her. I think she's in trouble.

You better all stay away from that broad. Believe me, Hobson. Listen,

please.

You know her name, where she lives?

No, I don't.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

I'll pay you.

You find her, I'll pay you.

You that hard up for a date?

Look, even if I was so inclined, how am I supposed to find her?

Because she's got a tattoo. The tattoo on the neck, I saw it.

She had a tattoo.

That's right.

That's some help.

Go away, Hoxton.

I got paying customers that need proof that their loved ones are cheating on

them. $500 a day plus expenses.

What kind of tattoo?

Is this what you do all day? You go from place to place asking the same

questions over and over? Well, I'd rather be fly fishing. You know somebody

pay me to do that.

Come on, Hobson. This is only number six on our list.

You know you're learning.

The most important part of detective work, comfortable shoes.

Now just keep quiet and let me do the talking, okay?

Small. Next to the ear.

Chinese character, maybe.

Like a Roman numeral two.

That's right.

Poor thing, she's scared of her own shadow.

I'd say it's her first night on the street.

Yeah, well, can we see her?

I'm sorry, she left over an hour ago.

Did she say where she was going?

I'm sorry.

It's very important.

Did she speak to anybody?

She might have talked to Gretchen.

Gretchen. Which one is she?

A life may be at stake here, Father.

I'll bring her out.

Thank you.

Give me 20 bucks.

For what?

Expenses. What expenses?

Just give me a 20, all right?

You think we'll find her?

You'd be better off if we didn't.

Now, why do you say that?

She's lying.

Well, how do you know she's lying? You don't even know her. Oh, and you do?

I'm just playing the odds, that's all.

It wouldn't have anything to do with your last girlfriend turning up. Whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa.

That is a door we do not open, understand?

Here they are.

Uh, Gretchen, this is... Crum, and this is Hobson. Uh, Gary.

That poor sweetheart hit her head. She didn't know which way was up.

Well, any idea where she went?

Back to where she woke up, so she would remember.

You don't, by chance, know where that is to you?

Somewhere down in the west side docks.

Down by the water?

Thank you very much.

So now we lay out a grid, start walking.

We're running out of time.

What do you want me to do, Hobson? Get a crystal ball?

Bells.

When she came to, she said she heard bells.

Now, Hobson, once we're inside... Yeah, yeah, I'll let you do the talking.

That's good. You're learning.

What are you looking at? Come on, get out of here. Move it.

It's all right. You're okay.

No, he was after me.

Nobody's after you.

You're safe now. No, he was chasing me. He followed me here.

Did the same guys before?

What did he look like?

Um, I didn't get a good look.

Yeah, all right.

Hopson, are we done?

Did you hear what she just said? I heard what she said.

Our deal was to find her. Well, I found her. If you want to keep playing Mother

Teresa, that's up to you. I got better things to do with my time.

You'll get my bill.

But I... Hey, look, it's all right.

I'm not going anywhere.

Can you tell me more about this guy?

He was running after me. He was about to catch me.

I believe you.

Can you stand up?

When's the last time you had something to eat?

I didn't get a good look.

Do you have any idea why he might be asking you?

Um... I'm not usually like this. Or I don't know what I'm usually like, but it

probably doesn't involve being chased by a killer.

Excuse me.

Doug, what is this?

He's got some soda.

I'm sorry we didn't order this.

It's our usual.

Whoa, uh... Do you know this lady?

What's my name?

Uh, if you could help us out, you see she's having some, uh, well, short -term

memory loss problems. We're just trying to fit the puzzle back together here.

You really don't remember your name?

Look, all I know is Scotch and Soda, and don't expect much of a tip.

You wouldn't know where she lived, would you?

Look, mister, two months she's been coming in here, she said three words to

Scotch and Soda.

No hellos, no thank yous.

I'm real sorry about your problem, Miss, but I got customers.

Wow.

Well,

at least we know I start the day with a nutritious breakfast.

No way. You must live around here, work around here. If she recognizes you,

someone else is going to know more.

What is it?

Oh, it's terrible.

Is anything familiar to all the buildings or the storefronts? I don't

How about the street signs?

Does anything ring a bell?

I don't know.

Maybe. I can't think.

Rose!

Rose!

Come on.

Hey, Rose.

Thursday was five days ago.

What? You know her?

Real cute.

Twenty -eight bucks. And no more, you know, you're getting your paycheck or

one more day? Twenty -eight dollars.

Cigarettes. I smoke?

Very funny.

Here.

Hey, you'll keep the change.

Thanks. You know, I don't mind running a tab. You don't know my last name, do

you? What?

Archer.

My name is Rose Archer.

Thanks. Rose Archer.

Are you sure?

Absolutely.

You all right? I just need some rest.

I don't want to impose, Dan.

No, no, no, you're not.

I offered.

This way I'll know you're safe.

Why are you being so nice to me?

Look, you can sleep all you want.

Got some sheets for the couch.

Towel, if you want to take a shower.

I'll be downstairs if you need anything else.

Are you nuts?

You don't know the first thing about this woman.

And that's where you come in.

Look, I've already looked up all the Rose Archers in the phone book. She

live in Chicago.

Yeah, so?

Well, so she wants to know who she is, Crumb.

Crumb.

$500 a day.

I already hired you for the day.

New assignment.

Listen... Hey, I got a business to run here.

All right, fine.

All right.

Archer, Rose.

I'll be in touch.

Gary? Yeah?

She's still asleep?

Yeah.

What?

It's just... You seem awfully involved with this woman.

Marissa, what am I supposed to do, give up because someone stops being a

headline? Of course not.

But the police... Well, the police aren't going to do anything that can

her.

How about a doctor?

It's just that I think before you get in over your head,

Am I intruding?

No.

I hope it's okay. I borrowed your... No, that's fine.

I'll be at the bar.

Look, Rose, I was thinking that... Well, maybe it would be a good idea if you

saw a doctor.

No, doctors cost money. Well, no, no, I wouldn't. Don't worry about that. No,

Gary, I'm feeling better. Yeah.

Maybe a doctor's not such a bad idea.

That's a nasty knot on the back of your head, but it didn't cause your amnesia.

It didn't?

Hemorrhaging in the frontal lobe might affect memory, but a hemorrhage would

show up as a dark spot on these scans.

So you think I'm making this up?

Oh, not at all.

When a person experiences a great emotional shock like you did, the brain

shut down.

We call this a dissociative episode.

And that's what I have?

Quite possibly.

But she will get her memory back. In most cases.

How soon?

No way to tell.

Would a shock like this account for a change in personality?

I mean, would it make a smoker not want to smoke anymore?

The literature is filled with strange cases.

There's a lot about the brain we still don't know.

I hate this.

I hate not knowing who I am.

Rose. It's a nightmare. I keep thinking I'm going to wake up and I'll be home.

I want my memory.

I want my life.

You'll get it back.

How soon and what happens when I do?

Well, I don't know. Will I get back to being who I was?

Why wouldn't you?

Well, from what people are saying, I'm not a very likable person. I sift

waiters. I don't repay loans.

Oh, it's any consolation I like.

You don't know me. I don't know you.

Look, Rose.

Tough man.

You're a good person.

You sure?

Lashley, racketeering?

He's dirty to the front?

Yeah. Yeah, it's coming through right now. Thank you.

She's a crook, a con artist.

She's violating your parole as we speak.

I don't think you're going to talk your way out of this one, sister.

As soon as we're done, I'm calling your parole officer in Philly. Crumb, you

can't come in here and just throw around accusations.

These aren't accusations, they're facts.

She's a felon.

Maybe I should turn myself in. No.

I don't want you to get in trouble, Gary.

We don't know that this is her.

Well, maybe you didn't get a good look.

Rose Archer. You can't tell anything from this fax.

It's my name, Gary. Got that right, it's her.

And faking amnesia is right in line with her M .O.

Nobody's faking amnesia.

She's faking everything. That's what, that's what, uh, con artists do. Would

excuse us for a minute? Can we...

Why

don't you say what this is really about?

Owen, what is that? That your last girlfriend turned out... No, no, no. No,

last girlfriend turned out to be a thief. Now every single woman's out to

quick buck. I warned you. You don't trust women, Crumb. I don't trust

Exactly.

Look, I'm trying to save your butt. I didn't ask you to.

You know, Hopson, you're the one making all the noise here.

Let's hear her deny it. Hey, listen, Crump.

Crump.

You happy now?

You should be thanking me, Hobson. That bra was playing you like a marked deck.

Do me a favor, would you?

Don't do me any more favor.

Forget about her, Hobson.

This kind of story ain't no happy ending.

Okay, kid.

See for yourself.

You're down here early.

Go lie down, hon.

I couldn't find her.

What time did you get in?

I don't know.

About two, three.

Gary.

You know, she doesn't have any money.

She doesn't have anywhere to go.

I'm the only one she can trust, and she can't even come around here now.

Well, I understand how you feel, Gary, but she's not your responsibility.

She needs help.

Well, what if Crumb's right?

What if this is some sort of con?

It's not a con.

Look, you... You matter. What do you think about her, really?

I like her.

I'm just worried about you, that's all.

You're letting your attraction cloud your judgment.

helping her at all what is it

well that's not strangled now it's her

hey

baby miss me

It's me, Gary.

Gary? Come on. The doctor said you'd be disoriented.

Come on.

Rose, is that the guy who came after you before?

The guy who tried to kill you?

Do you know his name?

Rose, it's me, Gary Hobson.

You don't have to be afraid.

Yesterday, at the same time, you said your head still hurt. You didn't

your name.

Look, that guy that was chasing after you.

You remember who I am, don't you?

Gary.

I hit my head.

Yeah, sure.

I'm sure everything must seem upside down right now.

No. No, I'm better.

Jess McKay.

That's his name?

He was my boyfriend.

Your boyfriend?

He's a bad guy.

I didn't want you to see this side of me, Gary.

No, that's all right.

That's in the past.

It isn't.

I took some money from... How much money?

$25 ,000.

$25 ,000?

Why?

It was mine.

He didn't see it that way. It doesn't matter now.

But he's found me, and if I don't pony up the cash, he's gonna kill me.

Listen, we're gonna have to call the police.

No. But, Rose... Gary, they'll take me to jail. Well, at least you'll be safe

from them. Are you kidding? If I go to jail, I might as well hand Jeff the gun.

Look, if this fella, if he got the money, would he leave you alone?

Well, where would I get that kind of money? If you did have the money, would

leave you alone?

I suppose.

Yeah.

All right, then it's settled.

Gary, I told you I can't get that money. I can get the money.

I can't ask you to do that.

Why not?

Look, everybody deserves a second chance.

Fifteen. Twenty.

Twenty -five thousand.

Have a nice day.

Thank you.

Marissa?

Barry? Hi.

Did you find her? Yeah, she's right here and she's fine.

Hey. Hi.

How did you... I'll tell you what. Why don't we talk about it later?

Okay. See you. Bye.

What?

It's just my way of thanking you.

Oh.

Well, I... You don't like it when I thank you? No, I... You're not going to

leave that there, are you?

Yeah, it's safe.

Well, maybe put it in a drawer or something.

Thank you.

I know how to contact Jess.

We can have everything taken care of in an hour.

Yeah, well, I'm going to call Crumb.

Crumb?

Detective Crumb. Oh, right.

Are you sure you want to bring him in? I know he plays a little strong, but he

knows how to handle people like this, Jess.

Well, it's just, you know, the fewer people, the better. In fact, it's

simplest if I do it myself.

Oh, you're not going to deliver that money.

Gary. Look, this guy, he just tried to kill you with his own hands. Yeah,

because I didn't have the money.

No, no, no, no, that's not gonna happen.

My own personal voice, yeah.

I like it when you protect me.

I get all tingly.

Did you change?

What? You're close.

Um, I don't remember.

I must have.

Yeah, at the shelter.

Exactly.

Still a little fuzzy around the edges.

Gary, you mind if I ask you something and you promise not to say no right

Maybe I could pay you back by working at your bar. No.

Just think about it, okay?

All right.

Right now I need a shower.

Your towel's right there where you left it.

Thanks.

$25 ,000.

Would you keep it down, please? You're lending her $25 ,000 and using the

Gary, you know that's been in the rules. I didn't use the paper.

What? I didn't use the paper. I took it out of my own savings.

And do me a favor, don't say anything to Crumb.

Hello, Crumb.

So your girlfriend turned over a new leaf, huh?

As a matter of fact... He's lending her $25 ,000.

What? Well, thank you very much.

It's a loan to keep her out of trouble.

You're putting me out, right? No, he's not.

She conned you, kid.

She didn't con anybody.

People change.

Where's the money now?

It's upstairs.

Where is she?

She's upstairs.

You left her alone with 25 grand?

Relax, she's up there taking a shower.

What did I

tell you?

Get her.

Come on. Get her.

Rose!

You gotta give me a hand. I can't believe I'm so stupid.

Well, she fooled me, too.

It's like she was two entirely different people. She even sounded different.

She conned me, and I fell for it. Oh, you made a mistake.

No, no, a mistake is when you don't pay the gas bill.

I gave a convicted con woman $25 ,000 in cash.

I'll put her down at the division. They're putting out an APB.

If she's sloppy, we might get her.

Not now.

What if she drives out of town?

We need a credit card to rent a car.

I'm not interested in the horoscope.

What?

Her tattoo.

What about tattoo?

Her tattoo was the sign of the Gemini.

So?

Gemini.

You said she was like two entirely different people.

Yeah, she seemed a little different.

What if you're right?

I mean, what if she's right?

What if they are twins?

You got anything smaller?

Come on, I got a train to catch.

Yeah, have a nice winter.

Where are you going?

Anyplace, though.

How can you be sure Rose wasn't scamming you from the beginning? Because that

wasn't Rose, Crumb.

Rose is the crazy one. She's the one that took the money. The other one, the

that you trusted, the one that whatever her name is, she's the one with amnesia.

Thompson, you're grasping at straws. I'm not grasping at anything.

They're twins. That's the only thing that makes sense. If that makes sense to

you, then you're the one who needs your head examined.

I don't... Excuse me. You haven't seen Rose Archer, have you?

I just missed her.

You don't know where she went to you?

Train station.

The train station.

Union or Metro?

I didn't get an itinerary.

Thanks, pal.

Hello, Thompson.

You see her? Find the cop. Find me. I'll go check out Union Station. If

nothing's happening there, we meet back here.

Rose! Go away, Lily. Get out of here.

Lily, I miss you so much.

You always were the smart one.

I hit my head. I can't remember things.

Write me a postcard.

Somebody's after me. He's trying to kill me.

Only that's Rose.

Gary!

Gary, what's going on?

Ask her.

Rose? Your sister stole a little money from her boyfriend.

Then she came up with a plan to throw him off the trail, which was you.

I imagine she came up with some sob story to lure you out here.

Then she made sure that he saw you alone.

And he'd kill you thinking you were Rose.

No.

Rose is my sister. I can't believe... Believe it.

There's no place to go, Rose. The world's full of places.

Put down the bag hand.

Step away.

You too, Lily.

Jess was going to kill me.

I didn't have any choice. It was you or me.

I chose me.

Almost pulled it off, Rose.

Only she's faster than she looks.

Ran into a church before I could catch her.

I fell down the staircase.

You won't be so lucky.

Jess. Hell of a time trying to find you.

Had to follow your boyfriend here.

He's not my boyfriend. He's just some chump. Listen, Jess. Save it.

I believe that's mine.

Don't be stupid.

It's my money.

Guess again.

No. Put the gun down, Rose. He's going to kill you. Shut up, Lily.

I'll shoot you, Jess. I will. I don't think so.

You sure she's the good one?

Yeah, I'm sure.

How can you tell?

You're going to be okay.

Yeah, I'll be great.

My cat's waiting.

All right.

If things had been different... I know.

I wish they were different.

Well, so do I, but you gotta get home.

Gary. Look, when you get back to Duluth, let me know how you are,

would you?

Once I put my life back together, who knows?

Maybe.

Let me buy you a beer.

Go ahead. Go ahead and say it.

Go on. Go ahead and say I told you so.

Why would I say that? Because you were the one that said don't get involved.

You're going to make a fool out of yourself. Go ahead. Say it.

You're leaving out the part where you saved that young lady's life.

You tried to tell me that she was on the level. I wouldn't listen.

Yeah, well, that was about the time that my life savings was going down the fire

escape.

Look, Hobson.

I spent this past year trying to get over a double cross.

I got into a rut. I forgot that there were nice people out there.

If that's an apology, I accept.

Come on, I'll buy you a beer.

Oh, I almost forgot.

What's this?

It's my bill.

Your bill?

I thought you just said... Hey, Hobson, I got a business to run here, don't I?

Yeah, but I know a bill after everything we've been through together.

Hobson, are you trying to welch on this?

No, I'm not trying to well shine you. I just thought maybe a little professional

courtesy was in order.

If you'll notice, Hobson, I didn't charge you anything for the use of the

machine.

I didn't charge nothing for the steps.

Have you been in that situation? You get a wedding invitation and it says you

plus a guest and you haven't got a partner. Well, Jane has two months to

Mr. Perfect.
