Original subtitles

Hey, Margo.

Alan, no, please.

Please.

Don't give me that.

Hey, Frank, amigo, how was Acapulco?

I was having a drink with your wife.

Thank you.

Strong as the raging tides of the ocean.

Soft as the flight of the silver dove.

Slaves are we to our own emotion.

Strange are the ways of love.

Strange are the ways of love.

How many times do you love her and leave her? How many stars

can you count above?

Love is made of passion and a fever.

Strange are the ways.

No, no, no, Pedro.

¿Por qué?

¿Por qué estás cansada?

¿Cansada?

¿Qué estabas haciendo hasta las 2 de la mañana?

Nada.

¡Mentidosa! ¡Puta!

Hey, shut up, Goof.

Listen, I'm sorry you came all the way up here, but I don't think I can make it

today. You can't make it?

Hey, I haven't seen you for a week.

Well, I brought the contracts.

You know, I have to go over them.

Oh, fine. Bring them. We'll go over them together.

I have to go to the office. You know that.

Stop the office.

What's everybody drinking?

Brew, daughter.

And me, too.

Where's Alan?

The advice was over and doesn't show up.

Maybe he's popping some chick in L .A., boop, boop, ba -doop. Oh, goo.

Did you get the contract signed?

No.

You will not believe it.

The one of Oscar... Has to go back again. Oh, for Christ's sake.

Well, they okayed the hotel in Acapulco.

But they would like to work some more details in the apartment. Oh, mañana,

mañana.

Don't worry.

The deal is closed.

I guess they just enjoy my sparkling personality.

Hey, don't leave them. You sure you're one of them?

Hey, look, last night I, uh, got to Alan.

I had to sit on him a bit, but he's going to bring us that check today.

Hey, come on, I mean, it's mine.

Hey, we can finish the house for him.

Come on, you two.

One more business, and that's final.

Come on, Richard.

Where's our host?

He's a ghost.

He's a pot. The party will be over before he appears.

I better go and try and call him. I think you'd better.

There were no stab wounds or bullet wounds on his body.

Cause of his death, strangulation.

Early this morning, three hippies found the body of a young Mexican woman.

Cause of her death, strangulation.

When our boys arrived to go over the scene of the crime, they found them

turned over dirt.

They dug up the soil and found the body of Alan Richmond.

The medical report shows that Richmond was under the influence of drugs when he

was strangled.

His body was found approximately 11 hours after the murder.

That means the killing must have taken place about 2 o 'clock in the morning of

the previous night, just about the same hour as the young Mexican woman was

strangled.

Two murders, huh?

Both happened at the same time in the same general area.

This is a strange one.

This guy, Alan Richmond, he's got a place at the beach.

He's got a townhouse.

And he's building a big joint out in Beverly Hills.

I'm gonna make a run over to that townhouse.

Let's see what kind of a guy he was.

Thank you.

I'm trying to reach Alan Richmond.

Is he there?

He's not here.

Oh, you want me to message?

No, never mind. I'll call back.

How did his car crash into the ocean 20 miles away from his body?

Find anything worthwhile at Richmond's?

No, nothing.

Listen, I'm going to make a run up to that beach house.

I may come up with some kind of good there.

This is going to be a tough nut to crack.

For my money, it's going to be one of these cases that never closed.

Yeah.

That was a long time.

We have nothing much to go on.

Absolutely nothing.

I've gambled with nothing before and once. I... Let's say I'm lucky.

That's funny.

Called up there a while ago. A guy answered.

A lot of noise in the background, like there was a...

Party going on. Listen, Si, if anything turns up, call me here.

It's the number at the beat house.

I realize it's the first Sunday we've all spent together in weeks.

You get sucked in.

He's up a little.

When you're an architect, you build a building, and then you want to make a

better one and a bigger one before you know you are rich.

On paper, anyhow.

How did you finish this?

A few minutes.

Remember the first time you posed for me?

Vic and I were up together, Andy.

tennis team.

Whatever happened to that, Ted?

My son had it.

Steve's proud of you.

Crazy day.

Remember the time we missed the tennis match?

The cop took me to the police station.

He said I was a word back.

How come you're so preoccupied today?

What's the problem?

Dick told me that Alan finally agreed to give you the money.

I'm going home.

The last time I saw Alan was Monday morning.

He finally left for Acapulco.

Yeah, we had a meeting at Alan's office, the three of us.

What kind of a meeting?

A business meeting.

I didn't know Alan Richmond was your partner.

How do you say that?

Oh, no, we were building a house for him.

What time did your plane arrive last night?

After midnight.

Uh, was Mr. Richmond still at your house then?

Yeah. We all were, except Frank.

We had a small informal party.

And what time did everyone else leave?

Around one.

Richmond too?

No, he stayed for a last drink with me.

And he left about 2 a .m., about an hour later.

That was the last I saw of him.

Do you remember the hour your husband arrived home?

Four o 'clock in the morning.

I thought you said you arrived at midnight.

12 .25.

After customs and passports, I left the airport around 1 o 'clock.

Then I went to the office to check some papers.

I arrived home at 4 o 'clock in the morning.

Where did go your wife and you? No.

Did you see anyone at your office when you went there? No, I didn't. I went to

the private entrance.

Now, where were you two after the party?

Home. In a compromising position.

What about you two?

Don't.

Ritz.

Okay. I know a girl named Maria Sanchez.

How awful.

I don't. No, I never saw her.

No, huh?

I don't know that chick, man.

Thank you for your cooperation, folks.

I can assure you we'll do everything we can, and I'll probably be calling on you

again.

No, he stayed for a last drink with me.

And he left about 2 a .m., about an hour later.

That was the last I saw of him.

After I left the beach, I stopped at Delgado's house.

I questioned his servants.

They confirmed everything Mrs. Delgado says.

Delgado's the only one who doesn't have a witness who can testify where he was

for three hours.

That's not reason enough to suspect him of being involved.

Now, listen to this.

Now, where were you two?

that the plane arrived around 12 .25.

After customs and passports, I left the airport around 1 o 'clock.

Then I went to the office to check some papers.

I arrived home at 4 o 'clock in the morning.

I don't like this story. It sounds funny to me.

Our job is to go on proven facts.

Better keep an eye on the whole group.

What happened?

We're overdrawn.

The bank manager won't give us a new loan, so I have to go somewhere else.

Some of the guys called today to find out when they are coming back to work.

Well, never, if I don't spend something soon.

And $125 ,000, that's all we need.

Now, why the hell did we have to build this with our own money?

In about one hour.

Yeah, he's here. Would you like to talk to him?

Yeah. Marvel.

Hi, lovely.

Hi. Sonia's here.

For barbecue and chicken.

Hens or cocks?

Hens. Hurry up. We're waiting.

I'm happy to say.

I wish I had your problem. Oh, come on now, Frank.

Sexiest looking man I've ever seen. He used to be.

Oh, hey, I called Rita and Goof to come over for dinner. Yeah? Goof's busy on

his new film. I miss dear Goof.

Do you think we'll see him now that Alan... Oh, did I tell you that Goof

thought that it was groovy?

Rita slept with Alan.

He said, you know, Goof, he said, how can you make love with the same person

every day? That's Goof's cop -out.

I bet he's a bummer in bed.

Oh, God.

Yeah, right.

If I ever made out with anyone, Dick would kill me.

Seriously? What do you think he'd do?

Seriously? Never thought about it.

Oh, he'd probably roar like a lion.

At least he better get jealous.

Anyway, I'm sure we're tight enough that a scene would never hurt our

relationship. And what if it happened to Dick?

Well, I'd crack the whip. I wouldn't let Richard, the chicken heart, get any

idea that he's free just to run wild with all the chicks in the barnyard.

What would you do to Frank?

Cut it off.

Oh, Margo.

What would Frank do to you?

Divorce me?

No, no, no. He loves you too much.

Besides, he's still hung up on Catholicism. All the more reason.

Adultery is a sin to him.

No second chances. He's too proud.

I'm afraid he'll leave me.

What do you mean he'll leave you?

Sonia, if you say anything, I'll never... You know me better than that?

You remember the last night we all saw Alan alive?

Yeah. You and Dick left early.

Rita and Goof left shortly afterwards.

Alan just stayed and stayed. He wouldn't go.

I don't know. He was on a trip of some kind.

Finally, I got so tired, I decided we'd go upstairs and go to bed.

I figured he'd split.

I fell asleep and, uh... I woke up and he was next to me.

Wow.

Yeah, Frank must have found out. I don't know how.

He hasn't made love to me since that night.

There's a letter on the table from Steve.

Want a drink?

No, thank you.

How's the number one son?

Fantastic.

He's coming home in a couple of weeks.

Good. Good to see the little stinger.

Good boy.

Yes, afternoon. You want to come?

No. That is your department.

Well, well, well.

Here comes pride, intelligence, and guts.

I tried to catch it at your office.

So this is the Richmond house, huh?

Was.

We're stuck with it now, though.

What can we do for you?

I need both of you at headquarters to see if you can identify a suspect in the

Richmond case.

Routine. Now?

Now would be fine, yeah.

We've arrested a man for the murder of a woman.

The murder occurred near the spot where Alan Richmond's body was found.

But so far, he refuses to admit to the killing of Richmond.

Bring Lopez in, please.

These men are friends of Mr. Richmond's.

I didn't kill Mr.

Richmond. I told you. I didn't even know Mr. Richmond.

I killed Maria because she was lying to me. She was making it with everyone, and

I was going to marry her.

I don't love you no more.

I killed her so nobody can make love to her. Nobody.

I love her, but I didn't kill Mr. Richmond.

I didn't kill him.

I didn't kill Mr.

Richmond.

Then we all will take him out.

You ever seen this man?

No.

Mr. Delgado.

Mr. Delgado?

You ever seen him?

No.

Well, I guess we went to a lot of trouble for nothing. What will he get

girls? A life imprisonment if he's lucky, a gas chamber if he's not.

Jesus. Does he have a good lawyer?

Best.

Court will appoint one.

Mr. Delgado, Mr. Hill, I want to thank you for coming in. Right.

Well,

I'm going to get a quick lunch and then off to the bank. Oh, see you later.

I was at an art gallery nearby and thought I'd persuade you charming

to buy me some lunch.

Oh, I'm sorry. You just missed Dick. He's just left.

How come you didn't go with him?

Well, I didn't feel like eating.

Besides, he had to go to the bank afterwards.

That's right.

I forgot.

I think you can find him at the steakhouse. Oh, you come with me. I

find him. I have some building inspectors coming tomorrow. I have a few

to check out. Oh, come on, Francis.

You're too gallant, little lady. Well, I have to really say... And we won't stay

more than an hour, I promise. And besides, you have to eat.

Come on.

How are you? I got

to

go to the other room.

Let's go join him.

Why he didn't tell me he was going to meet here for lunch? I'm sure it's

perfectly innocent.

Then how come he didn't tell me?

How come you didn't tell him you're here with me?

I can't talk to him. I just don't understand it.

Well, when did it all start? I mean, there's got to be a reason. The people

you just don't dry up. Did Sonia tell you anything?

No.

Alan?

He's finished.

I can't trust her anymore.

Why finished?

We're all vulnerable.

He doesn't know how to forgive me.

Well, darling, you've got to try.

I have already.

I just don't know how to make it all come out right.

No way can I tell him.

Oh, God, that's deep water.

Okay, okay.

Take it easy.

Talk to you later.

Hey, what the hell's the matter with you?

Huh?

Where have you been?

What?

Where have you been?

Are you putting me on?

I've been to the bank.

Before the bank. Hey, I've got the loan. We can finish the stinking house.

Answer my question.

Where have you been before the bank?

At the steakhouse.

With whom?

No one. I was alone.

You're lying to me.

Hey, now, listen, you're tired. You've been working too many long hours. Now,

why don't you just go and relax and let me take care of everything, huh? Oh,

boy.

You will take care of everything.

Including Margo.

Right? Do you know what the hell you're talking about? Yes, I know what the hell

I'm talking about. I know very well what the fuck I'm talking about.

You and Margo, you were together at the restaurant.

You, we've been seeing her.

Behind my back.

Now, you just hold on one second.

Before one of us does something, he's going to regret.

Look, Margo loves you, and she wouldn't... She wouldn't what?

Cheat on me?

All right.

Okay, okay, okay. I met her.

She wanted me to help her.

Now, you know goddamn well I would never touch anything that was yours.

Now, she wanted me to talk to you.

And I think you know about what, right?

Okay, now it's your turn.

What the hell's been eating you?

Hmm?

So, all right, she made it with Alan.

She tried to fight him off. There was nothing she could do.

Look, this son of a bitch is dead in good riddance, so please, forget it,

Please.

What the hell's the matter with you? Leave me alone.

The way you've been acting, good Christ. Ever since the night Alan died, you

think you were the one that was responsible.

Will you please leave me alone? No, God damn it, I will not. Come on.

Come on, leave me alone, for Christ's sake. Leave me alone, Frank.

He had to be dead.

I didn't have any time to explain to him.

I was suspicious of him.

Because of Alan.

I killed Alan.

It was in self -defense.

But I hated him.

Hatred is a sin.

I still hate him.

I don't know what is inside my heart.

My wife.

And Alan.

She asked me to forgive her, but I can't.

She took my pride.

My self -respect.

You committed a crime, my son. You must go to the authorities and confess.

They will never believe me.

Never.

They will never believe me.

I'll pray for you, my son.

I'm going inside to change. I have to go to the office in a moment, okay?

You're not my little anymore.

Oh, you must be exhausted.

tacky suitcase, I see.

Thank you.

Hey, Margo?

What?

Tell me, why's Dad wearing a black tie?

Didn't he tell you in the letter?

No. Tell me what?

Dick died in an accident.

Oh, no.

Dick?

What happened?

He fell from an open terrace in the construction last month.

Oh, dear.

Oh, Steve, don't talk about it around your father right now, all right? He's

still upset about it.

Who's she?

Girl I know and her brother.

Margo, excuse me.

I've been married to your father for two years now, and I know you've never...

Liked me or accepted me as your stepmother?

Because I'm a gringa.

No, I like you fine.

When I came to this house, you were sent away.

Now, maybe you think that was my doing.

But your father wanted you to be independent.

I... I always wanted you with us.

Your dad asked if we should let you go back to Mexico to go to school, and I

said, no, no, you should stay with us.

You can go to USC.

Two years is enough time. Margo, thank you.

But I'd rather go back to Mexico City.

All my friends are there.

one of your friends.

Here you are.

I've been calling you all morning. Yes. Where were you? I went to the airport to

pick up Steve.

How is he?

He's fine.

I feel so guilty not being at home now.

Promise to bring him over tomorrow?

Okay. I'm sorry that I called because you're so busy, but Dick's insurance

policy, it's $300 ,000.

I'm sure Dick would have wanted it. I want to put it into the company.

Sonia, I appreciate that, but why do you need to call me out of the office to

tell me that? Aren't you hungry?

Come on.

Let's have some lunch.

We can eat on the terrace.

My life's empty without Dick.

Maybe I ought to go away from here.

Oh, Lieutenant Arnazi, please come in.

So, Mr. Delgado.

How's it going?

Fine, fine, thank you.

Sorry to bust in like this. I just have a few questions.

Listen, you two go ahead.

I was on my way out. Very nice seeing you.

I'll see you later.

Oh, Mr. Delgado.

Yes. I wonder, would it be convenient for you to meet me in my office about 7

'clock tonight?

Okay, 7 o 'clock.

I'll be there.

Bye. Bye.

Come in.

Yeah.

I was a little anxious to finish the routine investigation of Mr. Hill's

and mark that case closed.

What were some of the problems between Mr. Delgado and your husband?

There were none.

No difficulties at all?

No, none.

No financial problems? No, you must have seen them fight or argue on occasion.

On the contrary. They were best friends for over 15 years, since college.

They were like brothers.

I see.

We're still trying to get a confession out of our suspect in the Richmond case.

Lopez sticks to that denial.

Do you see much of your friend, the director, Goof, his wife Rita?

I haven't seen Goof since Dick's funeral.

Besides, he's busy on his new film with Rita.

Yeah, yeah.

Don Anthony, right?

Right. Did you dig up any new courses, huh?

I was going to ask you a good question about Richmond.

Lay on me.

Seen Delgado lately?

Oh, man, no. You know, we're not in the same bag, you dig?

I mean, we all met through Alan.

What was your connection with Richmond?

He put some bread in the bread I made. Look at these splits. Did you see that?

No, I didn't get to see that one.

Oh, man, that's too bad.

That was a gas.

Actually, it was a piece of shit that didn't ever bring in the money.

Wait till you see my next one.

Right, right.

What about Delgado?

Oh, yeah, yeah, you mean Frank. Frank, Frank, Frank. Well, you know, I got the

feeling that Margo had a drag fight to these things, you know, and he couldn't

beg off. Did Dick?

I mean, he and Dick were always working on the weekends.

That was a bitch.

Well, so sometimes I take the girls to balance. You get away from the smog and

all that. You understand?

They didn't mind letting their old ladies go off alone like that? Oh, man,

Those cats were always working. Hey, listen. Take a look.

That's pretty nice.

Very nice.

I love you.

What about some of the others?

Any fights or anything like that?

Oh, no.

Well, you know, maybe only once, you know. I mean, Alan got a little high,

to kiss Margo, and Frank pushed him away.

And, you know, Frank never talked to him after that.

I'm about Delgado and Hill in trouble there.

Oh, no way. You put me on.

That's all I can remember.

I cannot add any more details.

Couldn't have been suicide, a lot of debts, financial problems.

It was an accident.

He fell.

My job, Mr. Delgado, is to make certain of the reasons.

Mr. Hill's death, you were the only witness.

The only one to see him, Paul.

I understand, Mrs. Hill.

Sonia is to receive a considerable sum in the insurance.

Yes, you told me.

$300 ,000, isn't it?

I think so.

I understand.

She's going to turn the money over to you and put it all back into the

construction business.

It's very generous of her.

It's a good investment.

She's also thinking about selling her part in the business.

It would be a shame to lose such an attractive partner.

Mr. Arnessi, my son came from Mexico today.

And I'm leaving for Mexico this evening.

I would like to spend a few moments with him, if you don't mind. Well, no, I

think that about does it.

Sorry I held you.

By the way, there's been

a break in the Richmond case.

Some new evidence might help us in arresting the murderer.

Good night, Mr. Darnacy.

Yeah.

Sonia?

Sonia? Sonia?

I'm sorry it came like this, but I just wanted to ask you,

what did Darnese say?

He's insane.

What did he say?

He said that you and I are having an affair, that Dick's death may not have

an accident, but intentional.

What did he ask you?

Something.

How about a glass of wine?

You look nervous tonight. It'll relax you.

No, no, no. I'm going to Acapulco tonight. I'm sorry if I look like this.

time does the plane leave?

12 .30.

I'm going to come with you.

Oh, please, no.

Listen, D 'Arnesi's thinking we're having an affair.

Frank, I need the change.

Sonia, would you do it for me? Not this time. I don't care about D 'Arnesi. It's

not his business. You're my partner.

Not this time. Please.

You're so quiet.

Next weekend we'll go to the mountains, all right? We'll go to the cabin.

And we have a great time.

How about this weekend?

Why this weekend?

You know, next weekend.

I'm going to Acapulco tonight.

I have some business to attend there.

Excuse me, I'm not hungry.

I'm going to go to bed.

Okay. Fine.

Here, take the card. Go ahead.

Thank you.

Do you have any argument?

Because he just got home.

This is his first day here.

You know how sensitive he is. I know.

You just feel... You're neglecting him.

I have... I wish I could stay.

There's no way.

Why don't you go talk to him?

Who is she?

Girlfriend.

Her brother.

And you?

You can bring them here.

Why don't you buy them?

Can I, brother?

Come on.

I put this in here.

Are you going to bed?

Well, yeah.

Okay.

Maybe we can have a little talk.

Sounds so formal, right?

I don't know how to communicate with you.

Why don't you stay here?

Dad.

Come on.

Look, listen, I really need you now.

You know, now we can talk, we can communicate.

Huh? You don't need to go back to Mexico.

Yeah, man, all my friends are there.

I... You know, you change.

You know, it would be so nice to have you here now.

Really.

You know, we can get to know each other finally.

I came, Dad. This is a vacation for me.

Come, go hunting, fishing.

I love you.

But my friends are in Mexico, man. I gotta go back.

I want to finish school there.

I'm sure I would have said the same thing.

Good

night.

Grown up. Did you have a good talk? Oh.

You know, there are things that mean much more than anything we said, you

You're funny.

Wow.

He's leaving.

That's all right.

Don't worry.

I ain't got no respect for him.

Did you talk to Tony?

Mm -hmm. Chicago?

Mm -hmm.

I'll miss my plane.

Am I not good?

Sonia, I don't mean it.

You know what you're doing?

You can get me in a lot of trouble with this.

Darnacy, just now.

Oh, what the hell was Darnacy?

Would you care for some drinks?

Some champagne?

No.

Hi, this is Sonia.

Are you in bed, Sonia? I'm in Mexico.

I'll be back in a...

Thank you.

Strange are the ways of

woman.

Strange are the ways...

I don't know.

Bye.

Yeah Excuse

me

You hate me?

That's a great question.

Go ahead.

No,

no, I don't want to.

No, I didn't mean to upset you, really. Go ahead, here.

Margo. Come on, Margo.

Come on.

Too bad.

This is a baby, huh?

Marco, don't.

No.

Baby.

Do you want to make love with me?

Can you?

Can I?

Yeah? I couldn't sleep.

Sorry if I woke you.

What time is it?

Six. Oh, wow.

I was having a nightmare.

And I was tossing.

Wow.

Can I have a little more?

I guess so.

Anything you want.

It's beautiful, the bay.

The last time I was here was with my husband.

We used to go swimming at this time of the morning, watch the sunrise.

Then we'd run hand in hand across the sand and fall asleep until the sun woke

us.

Those days are over.

Finished.

i couldn't have gotten through these days without you you've been a great

thank you i really appreciate that you say that please frank

That's a noisy bird out of here. Shut up!

Steve,

where are you going?

I'm going up to the cabin.

I'll be back tomorrow when Dad gets home.

Okay, but be careful with that motorbike.

I will.

Okay.

Where are you going?

I have to go.

Come here.

I can't. I got to go.

Steve, come up here now. I want to talk to you.

Come on in. Close the door.

Where were you going?

To church.

Church?

Why don't you and I go up to the cabin?

There's a lot of work that has to be done there before we go up to your

next weekend.

I need you to help me get it ready.

No, take Lupe and Jose.

They have too much to do here already.

Look, I promised some friends I was gonna meet them downtown.

Meet them some other time.

We'll be back by the time your father returns.

Margo, I don't want to go.

Leave me alone!

Okay, I'm going to the cabin. I'll be back when I'm done.

Okay, Lupe, okay. I will try to be home this evening.

Don't worry. Everything will be all right.

Okay. Bye.

I'm sorry.

A little family problem.

I don't mean to rush you, but do you think we can sign the contract this

afternoon? I would like to be home this evening.

Of course.

But you missed the dinner party in your honor tonight.

Frank, how about catching the plane tomorrow morning?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't.

Why don't you stay?

No, I'll go with you.

But I hope we can have a rain check next trip.

My pleasure, Mr. Dillon.

I'll have these typed and ready to be signed this afternoon at your hotel.

Thank you.

It's been a pleasure.

Adios. Adios.

Thank you, Summer. Thank you. I'll see you later.

Well, what are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

I told you someone had to come and clean up.

I want to finish what I was trying to tell you when you left.

Come here. I can't talk to you way over there.

I know you're upset about last night.

You needn't worry. I won't tell your father.

You won't tell him will you?

Morning.

Gardening?

I was here before.

You're the police who came here investigating after Mr. Richmond was

That's right. You've got a good memory.

Is Delgado home? No, he's in Mexico.

Mrs. Delgado?

She's in the mountains. They're all out of town.

Did you buy the spades?

I don't know.

Oh, about three months ago.

Is the spade yours?

Yes, sir.

That's my spade. I told you I never touched it.

Well, who took it from my garden?

You're sure this spade belongs to you?

Sure, I'm sure.

You see that J carved there?

That's for Jose.

That's me.

Your spade, Jose, was found inside a car at the bottom of the ocean.

It was used to bury a murder victim.

Well, I'll have to keep this.

It'll be used as evidence in court.

Señor!

Maybe it belongs to another Jose.

Possible.

Look at the records.

Outstanding student, champion tennis player, married at 19 to his high school

sweetheart, a Mexican girl who died giving birth to his only child, highly

decorated hero in the Korean War, strong religious background, honesty in all

his references.

Married his second wife two years ago, built himself up a very successful

construction company. He's a self -made man.

He never even had a traffic violation.

Maybe he had a motive.

His wife is a beautiful, sexy woman.

From what I've seen of her, she's not a conventional type like his first wife

was. Maybe she and Richmond were messing around.

I mean, Richmond had a pretty good reputation for messing around, okay?

From what the nutty director tells me, Frank was jealous as hell of Richmond's

behavior with his wife.

Frank had strong pride. He was highly emotional.

His wife was home alone with Richmond the night he was murdered.

Now, Frank has a very feeble excuse for where he was from the time he left L .A.

airport till he reached home.

That's two and a half hours.

A little time, plenty of time to commit a murder.

Guy arrives home unexpectedly, finds his wife in the rack with this Richmond.

Listen, for a guy like Delgado, that's a highly explosive situation.

Story sounds convincing, all right. Damn right.

You think Delgado's responsible for Dick Hill's death?

Delgado's involved with Hill's wife and the insurance money?

Now they're in Acapulco at the Hilton, eh?

One month after her husband's death.

The two ideas just don't mesh.

Why would he be jealous of his wife if he's having an affair?

It's all too circumstantial. No real proof.

You want to try to get a man into the gas chamber on that?

Well, I have the shovel that was used to bury Richmond.

That's certain.

I'm going to use it to get a confession.

Then, uh, did your dad quit the Merchant Marine?

No.

But he'd be gone almost the whole year.

First year, I cried myself to sleep every night.

Thought I'd never see him again.

Then out of the blue, he'd come home and we'd be a family for a while.

Then he had to go away again.

My mother got a lover.

She divorced my father to marry him. I never forgave her.

What happened to your dad?

He died while in port in Hong Kong.

That's when I finally left New York and decided to come out here and try my luck

at modeling.

So I'm like you.

I don't know.

No brothers, no sisters, no...

Lupe?

Are they still in the mountain?

They're still in the mountain.

The inspector came by with our missing space.

What did he say?

He wanted to know if it was our space.

What did you tell him?

I said to him it was our space.

But he took it anyway. He said that he needed it for some evidence in court.

I'm going to the mountain.

This is your spade, Mr. Delgado.

If I need it, it'll be used as evidence to convict the killer of your friend,

Mr. Richmond.

I'm sorry, Mr. D 'Arnesi, I don't know what you're talking about.

Your spade was used to bury Alan Richmond.

I'll look for you in my office in about an hour.

Aye, Mr. Delgado.

Protecting him.

You saw Frank. Now tell me where.

How? You were with him.

You both killed Alan Richmond. No, no. It's for that. I never saw Frank.

I don't remember.

Do you remember the car?

No.

And you saw a car.

Near you.

What color?

What make? Who was in it?

No say. No say. Frank was in it.

How could you ever do that to me?

I could shoot you.

Forgive me, Dad.

Forgive me.

Christ.

Who am I to judge?

I killed a man.

I am going now to the police.

Stefano, put this away from me.

as the raging tides of the ocean soft as the flight of

emotion strange are the ways of love

strange

are the dreams we are dreaming of love is fashioned

of smoke and of fire strange are the ways of
