Good evening, Mr. Braun.

Go right in, please.

MAN: How are you?

BRAUN: Good seeing you. How you been?

Drop by the Tangiers; dinner'��s on me.

?? ?? Almost like being in love...

Hi Hi. How you are you?

(muted): ?? All the music of life seems to be.... ??

(cocks gun)

?? Just like a bell that is ringing for me... ??

Oh, yeah.

Shh, shh...

I haven'��t been this out of breath

(laughter)

In a few minutes, there'��ll b e cake and champagne,

You'��ve got eight minutes to change.

Oh... hi.

Oh, hey, happy birthday.

So...

For years, I did two shows a night,

partied with the boys for hours,

You'��ve got a look.

Pace yourself, honey.

... BRASS: Lois O'��Neill'��s bedroom

the stuff dreams are made of.

s. Or nightmare

Did, uh, Miss O'��Neill tell you about this guy?

is. BRASS: We don'��t know where she

o. She disappeared about an hour ag

m. Her assistant went looki ng for her, found the victi

ID'��d him as Tim Duke.

. Gun left on the body..

isn'��t that how the mob used to do it?

Well, back in the day,

Lois O'��Neill was famous for singing and dancing.

She was also famous

for being the girlfriend of Tony Constantine...

One of the founding fathers of Vegas.

Looks like a bank vault.

d Well, the foundi ng father has place

a high priority on home security.

Have we been in there yet? No, it hasn'��t been cleared yet.

n. I'��ll go get the combinatio

. SANDERS: Ricochet marks

(camera shutter clicks)

Possible bullet fragments.

(shutter clicks)

Bullet'��s here, body there...

Moving target, maybe.

Gentlemen, thi s is Eve Girard,

Miss O'��Nei ll'��s assistant.

e? Would you open the vault, pleas

Okay.

I'��ll be downstairs.

(lock clicks)

u. Thank yo

(whimpering)

Just get it over with.

GIRARD: Lois!

! Lois! Oh, my God

Oh...

I thought this was my last birthday.

?? Who... are you? ??

?? Who, who, who, who? ??

?? Who... are you?

?? Who, who, who, who? ??

?? I really wanna know ??

?? Who... are you? ??

Oh-oh-oh ?? ??Who...??

?? Come on, tell me who are you, you, you ??

?? Oh, you! ??

In the middle of the party, you went upstairs to change.

Isn'��t that unusual?

(laughs): No, I...

I always wear one outfit to greet guests,

another for dinner and dancing,

and another for dessert.

Thanks.

So, uh, Tim Duke,

the waiter... did you know him before this?

He worked the Children'��s Hospital dance a few weeks ago.

He was charming.

I thought he could use the job.

Right.

I was changing .

I'��d ordered a drink brought up .

(gunshot) (grunts)

(groaning)

He was crawling, trying to get away.

(bullets ricochet)

And then I heard another shot.

(imitates gunshot)

(sniffles and cries)

That'��s, uh...

That'��s when I knew it was a mob hit.

Look, if you find his family,

I'��d like to do something for them.

I mean, after all, if he hadn'�� come in just then, I'��d be dead .

Who'��d want to kill you?

Do you have a first name, Sander s?

Greg.

Greg...

Do you.. .? Thank yo u.

Hot off the press.

I didn'��t hold ba ck.

I named names.

After all this time, I thought, who'��d care?

Well, maybe you thought wrong.

(camera shutter clicks)

Based on liver temp, been dead one to two hours.

It looks like two shots-- one to the chest

and a through-and-through to the head.

SIDLE: Not a lot of blood.

Shot to the heart: sometimes it collects in the chest cavity

rather than bleeding out.

A thousand...

When I was a waite r back in college,

if I had three 20s in my pocket, it was a good night.

At Chuck E. Cheese, that was a good week.

Crack vial?

Could explain the cash; maybe he was dealing.

And these...

(sizzles)

Found a crack vial on him,

and $1,000 in cash.

WILLOWS: Presidents, movie stars...

A drug-dealing waiter isn'��t the kind of guy

usually associated with Lois O'��Neill.

On the other hand...

Tony Constantine.

(chuckles)

Wh at?

WILLOWS: The Copa Girls from the Sands.

That'��s Lois O'��Neill.

That'��s my mother.

"Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Doll!

"Love always, Tony"?

I thought he was dea d.

Dead, like Jimmy Hoffa.

The only guys who know aren'��t telling.

STOKES: This party is organized

like an invasion pla n.

y. "6:15: bar set up and read

r. "6:25: Lois gree ts guests in foye

"7:15: Lois changes into her dinner outfit."

Talk about attention to detail.

From the security cameras on the perimeter of the building.

What about the interior cameras?

With all the extra measures,

Lois felt they weren'��t necessary.

Frankly, I think she just didn'��t want

to be caught on tape first thing in the morning.

t. Hmm, I'��ll need a l ist of all the guests who were here tonigh

Guests and staff, their affiliations

and recent accomplishments...

Lois likes to personalize conversation.

Everyone'��s still here.

h. You'��re thoroug

Well, that'��s my job.

?? ??

rowd? Grissom, do you have a ny idea who'��s in this c

I sure do.

"Under-sheriff Jeff McKeen.

"Arrival: 6:38 p.m. Wife: Amanda.

"Recent accomplishment:

"ran marathon for Children'��s Hospital,

placed tenth in his age group."

Good job, Jeff.

More than one of these VIPs

has the governor '��s home number,

ing which is why my phone'��s been ring

. with orders to let them go

Well, no one on this list came late or left early,

so everyone here is still a suspect, until they'��re not.

r, STOKES: And based on our interviews so fa

only a few people actually left the room

. when Lois O'��Neill was gone

Who?

rry. Among others, her... a p op star known as Li'��l Che

She was due onstag e at Mandalay Bay half an hour ago.

Keep her and anyone else who left the room.

Let the rest go.

Found this handkerchief hanging off the balcony.

I'��ll get it to Hodges.

Good.

. By the way... Sam'��s here

m He'��s one of the gues ts who was out of the roo

ed. when the murder occurr

Well, I should say hi to dear old Dad.

Hi, Sam. Muggs.

Sam, when you left this room tonight, where did you go?

Upstairs?

s, Just walked around downstair

saying hello to the old ghosts.

You know, I introduc ed Lois and Tony,

back when I was a floor manager.

She was in the lin e with your mother.

Mm.

Maybe Mom fell for the wrong gangster.

l. Lily was a sweet gir

ar. But Lois... she had to be a st

a. A real coal miner'��s daught er from Frackville, Pennsylvani

ck. But once she met Tony, she never had to go ba

? You always were a sucker for a hot dancer, weren'��t you, Sam

er, Me and Lois-- I love h

t. but I like to be i n the driver'��s sea

-- Like this dancer I'��m seeing now

ag. she'��s working tonigh t; that'��s why I came st

Must be serious.

That'��s the first time you haven'��t asked me how Mom'��s doing.

She'��s fine, by the way.

Mr. Jensen.

ab. I'��m Nick Stokes. I'��m with the crime l

case. I'��m familiar wit h your daughter'��s

Sorry for your loss.

You knew Mr. Constantine, right?

s Were there a ny other friend

of Mr. Constanti ne here tonight?

Yeah, there were friends here.

And enemies.

You want to elaborate a little bit more on those enemies?

Stokes, you trying to get me in trouble?

Hey, man, I'��m just tryin g to get to the bottom

of what happened here tonight.

Several witnesses said they saw you leave the room. Alone.

t I went outside to have a cigarette-- told her I wouldn'��

smoke in the house.

Filthy habit. Trying to quit.

Mm.

Frickin'�� cops won'��t let me go.

Yeah.

Miss Cherry? I'��ll call you back.

I'��m with the crime lab.

I need to ask you a few questions.

(scoffs) (keypad beeping)

CHERRY: Hey, it'��s me. Are they freaking out backstage?

Excuse me... What the...

Please?

Where did you go when Miss O'��Neill

left the ballroom earlier this evening?

Uh, the bathroom.

Do you recall what time you came back?

What, do you punch a clock every time you take a leak?

Did you know the victim-- Tim Duke?

y? I don'��t kn ow anybody, oka

My publicist made me come to this thing.

I guess Lo-Lo needed somebody with a pulse, so...

. May I take a look at your handbag? I got a show to do

I'��ve got 2,000 people waitin g for me right now.

re We can get a warrant, but you'��ll get out of he

a lot faster if you just let me see the bag.

Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

! Let me go! Get your han ds off of me, man

OFFICER: You'��re under arrest for assaulting an officer.

BODYGUAR D: I was doin g my job . Well...

now I don'��t need a warrant.

. I don'��t know how that cr ack pipe got in my purse, so..

There. My client denie s the pipe is hers,

denies any drug use, doesn'��t know the vic tim

and has no prior relationship to Miss O'��Neil l.

There'��s nothing to discu ss.

The pipe was in your possession.

Plus, you were displaying symptoms of crack use publicly.

CURTIS: And you were at a recent party where the victim, who

also used crack,

was working.

.. You admitted to leaving the ballroom after Miss O'��Neill.

Coincidences don'��t make a homicide.

You recognized Tim Duke and you needed a fix.

ing. Look, I'��m not hold

I told you befor Come on. Yeah, you do.

Come on, man. Look...

Here, man. See? What are you gonna do for me, little girl?

Yeah, see?

me! Hey, quit pushing

No... no, no!

You wiped down the gun with a handkerchief...

No one has established that my client had a gun.

And you didn'��t want to be se en leaving the bedroom,

so you climbed down the balcony to rejoin the party.

Which is how you scraped your knees.

(laughing)

. Okay, I'��ll admit I was outside

But. .. It'��s in your best interests not to...

It'��s cool. Um...

It wasn'��t just, uh, Lois'��s birthday tonight,

it was also my bodyguard'� �s birthday,

and I scraped my knees, giving him his present.

CURTIS: You'��re going to need to cancel your shows for a while.

We'��re holding you on possessio n of paraphernalia,

and unlawful use.

What do I have to do to make you believe me?

I already had my birthday.

ROBBINS: All right, areas of callus here.

Old fractures... ribs...

This guy must'��ve worke d some pretty rough shifts.

That must be the bullet, right there.

Yeah, I'��ll yank it in autopsy.

What'��s that happening all arou nd the nose area?

ROBBINS: It'��s a nose cage.

Nose has been wired to the skull to hold it in place.

We find them sometimes in boxers, accident victims...

You ever see one on a waiter?

Wow! You know, Lois had her first sexual experience

on her ninth-grade field trip to the state capitol...

with the governor.

I found the bullet hole.

Could you brin g the Sawzall?

Well, you know, this place is a piece of Las Vegas history;

you don'��t want to just g o and chop it up.

It'��s a crime scene, and there' ��s evidence under the floor.

Yeah, but we don'��t know exactl y where it is, so...

...I thought we'��d let "Hawkeye" here

do a little exploration for us.

e Sure. I wouldn'��t want to damag

priceless, 40-year-old carpeting.

No.

What'��s that say?

. Pull it up

Ten-grand brick.

Benjamin bit the bullet.

." "In God We Trust

If she has a vault, why is she keeping cash under the floor?

No more room under the mattress?

Easy access in case you need to rewire.

Or steal a million.

Hey. Hey.

Mandy got an AFIS hit off the vic.

His a.k.a. is Tim Duke, but his real name is Vincent Pullone,

a one-time Golden Gloves wannabe.

That would explain the prior injuries.

. Yeah, well, so does his rap sheet

The guy was busy: multip le assaults, theft...

ge? Is that the surveillance foota

STOKES: Yeah.

I'��ve been through the footage throughout the entire day.

I'��ve got the party staffers coming in

and out the back door.

But, get this-- same time, different entrance.

BROWN: Well, that'��s our vic.

STOKES: Yeah, a couple minutes later.

Now, here...

around the time of the murder,

same car... pulls up... waits.

Freeze that. Can you get a plate number?

Yeah.

(typing, computer beeping)

BROWN: Nice.

STOKES: Nevada 295,

Ocean, Henry, Union.

BROWN: "Nanci... Mc... Ma..."

McGinnigle... McGonigle.

McGonigle? McGonigle.

s. I'��ll run it through Bras

Handkerchief is line n. Edging appears to be hand-stitched.

h. Pretty nice rag to b e wiping a gun off wit

Oh, so it was positive for gun oil.

e Yeah. And the diphenylamine te st was also positiv

for oxidizers and partiall y burned gunpowder.

Uh, negative for prints or DNA.

So, Mandy wasn'��t able to lift any prints off of the cash we found.

Fingerprints are just oil, water and amino acids, Greg.

They don'��t last forever.

No kidding.

You ever hear that expression "old money"?

This stuff was ancient--

y. some of it'��s signed by Eisenhower'��s Treasury Secretar

Series dates all before 1965.

Same with the grand we found on the vic.

Ancient?

(clattering in distance)

O'��NEILL: Set them down there.

GRISSOM: Miss O'��Nei ll! Hello.

Nice to see you.

s? What'��s all thi

An army travels on its stomach.

I wanted you and your people to know how grateful I am

for all you'��ve done for me . Well, thank you.

nce But, uh, we can'��t accept anything that might influe

the outcome of the case-- it'��s our policy.

Oh, come on.

Cold cuts... a little shrimp salad.

Shrimp salad... (clicks tongue)

I know what we can do.

Have your boys take it down the street

to the St. Vincent homeless shelter.

They need it more than we do.

Well... (huffs)

Ooh...

Having fun with my book, Greg?

. Oh, yeah. That beach party..

.. Hoo-hoo. Marilyn Monroe and the President.

g. Swing-a-ding-din

ery By the way, Miss O'��Neill , we made an interesting discov

under the floor of your bedroom.

. I was hoping you could tell us about it

Under the floor...?

You tell me.

Approximately one million dollars in cash.

(laughs)

What do you know.

Tony always said I'��d be taken care of.

ey, If you don'��t know anything about the mon

es. maybe you know someone who do

ar, SANDERS: Benny Dunb

Jimmy the Crumb...

You'��d have to ask Tony.

Where is the money now?

. It'��s in our evidence vault

Oh. And, uh...

when will it be returned?

We have to finish our investigation first.

You do that.

You know... (sighs)

the boys who want me dead have been doing this

a lot longer than you have.

I need you to catch up. Fast.

Oh, and remember, when your tummy starts to rumble,

I tried to help.

t. There. There, that piece of paper, zoom in on tha

(computer beeps)

See if I can enhance that.

(typing)

STOKES: What is that, a bar code?

Looks like a PDF417... two-dimensional bar code.

t? Can you decode i

I think so.

JOHNSON: Okay, it'��s an airline boarding pass,

last night: Vegas to Philadelphia,

then on to Rome and Sardinia.

Two passengers: Nanci McGonigle and Vincent Pullone.

e, Vincent Pullone was the vic'��s real nam

ne and he arrived at the crime sce

car. in Nanci McGonigle'��s

JOHNSON: According to the airline global distribution system,

she boarded the flight, he didn'��t.

. He was busy being dead

Your fingerprint was on the light fixture in the hallway.

You knew about the money.

When the light fixture shorted out,

Lois wanted it replaced right away.

I did it myself, and I found the money.

e? How much did you tak

One bundle-- 10,000. I-I still have most of it.

eill? Did you te ll Miss O'��N

No. And that was wrong.

But it was also wrong of her to hire me as a book editor

and use me as a personal slave.

How well did you k now Vincent Pullone?

A.k.a. "Tim Duke."

(sighs heavily)

Not very well.

But well enough to give him a thousand dollars?

We were dating. He needed the money.

If you were dating, why was he planning to fly to Sardinia

le? after the party with Nanci McGonig

He didn'��t mention her.

Someone in the house gave him the tickets.

Well, not me.

(bullet clanks)

me. Sounds like the bullet to

Yeah. Deformed, medium caliber, consistent with a .38.

Take a look at the heart.

Bullet passed into the base of the right ventricle,

crossed the intraventricular septum

and destroyed the AV node.

Heart stopped on impact.

Right. Bullet then exited out the back of the left ventricle

and entered the vertebral spine, transecting the spinal cord.

(gunshot)

(bullet thuds)

Could the victim h ave crawled around

after suffering that kind of damage?

Negative. He would have been paralyzed instantly.

Could the shot to the he ad have occurred first?

You are "O"-for-two.

Check out the brain.

There'��s no blood in the wound track.

Nope.

So his heart had already stopped pumping.

From the absence of blood,

I'��d say that this shot w as at least ten minutes

after the shot through the heart.

Lois O'��Neill claims that she saw

the victim crawling away after she heard the first shot.

Well, maybe Lois'��s memor y is a little flawed.

Oh, no. She has a great memory.

(jazz music playing)

(car alarm blaring )

(indistinct conversations)

n. Welcome to DiMerci '��s, gentleme

ns? Do you have reservatio

BRASS: No, we'��re all set.

t. All righ

Okay. You sure?

(chuckling)

e! The gang'��s all her

BRASS: We need to ask you

. some questions

Well, please, sit. I-I have no secrets from Bobby,

my... guardian angel.

Bob? Yeah, we'��ve met. Isn'��t that right,

ht. Uh, yeah, that'��s rig

Please, sit.

How often do you get invited to the best table in town?

I know you must be hungry.

Miss O'��Neill,

we found some inconsistencies in your account

of last night'��s events.

Wha...?

You said that you saw Tim Duke crawling away

after you heard the first shot.

(sighs): Yes.

It was horrible.

According to our autopsy, the first shot paralyzed him.

He would'��ve been unable to move.

O'��NEILL (stammering): Well...

It-it all happened in such a flash...

(gunshot) (groans)

MAN: Hey!

Uh...

JENSEN: All right.

She'��s the target.

She told you all she knows.

(wry chuckle)

This has been fun, but... we have to go.

Beauty sleep, you know.

Speaking of which...

When is that ugly yellow tape coming off my bedroom door?

Just as soon as we finish our work, I promise.

Any more questions ... just call.

SANDERS: Tuna...

and the homeless are dining on shrimp salad.

Lucky clydes.

"Lucky clydes?"

? Is that lingo from Lois'��s book

BROWN: She say anything in that book

about all that dough we found under her floor?

Not exactly.

, But she does say back in '��65

Vegas was getting a little bit too hot for Tony C,

so he had to take a powder for a while.

And dig this: While he was gone,

the famous Pan Am heist was pulled off back east.

The famous Pan Am heist?

And, compadre, in the next chapter,

Tony builds Lois the house.

Connect the dots, buddy boy.

(chuckles)

All right, this is what we got so far:

We got a loser boxer, who'��s a crack head,

probably selling drugs--

and someone buys him two tickets to Sardinia.

Why?

Maybe somebody wanted Lois dead,

knew that Tim had access

. and that he needed the money for a drug habit

Are you saying that he was a hit man

and not an innocent bystander?

Well, it would make Lois'�� stor y correct--

that she really was the target.

Yeah, but who killed him? And why?

SANDERS: Consider this nutty notion:

Tony'��s not worm food, he'��s around;

he finds out that Lois went canary and wrote the book,

y. so he hires some protection, someone who'��d be at the part

SIDLE: Whether Tim Duke was a hit man or not,

he could have been the target all along.

. BROWN: Yeah, yeah

Then you go whack him when he'��s working arou nd every VIP in town. Sure.

Sure. Especially if Lois was an accomplice.

Or, dare I say, the killer.

Well, I don'��t see homici de anywhere on her schedule.

(laughs)

Wait a sec...

it, That'��s Lois'�� dinner outf

and that'��s the dress she was wearing

when we opened up the vault.

Let'��s test them both for blood and GSR.

SIDLE: Looking under "formal"...

(typing)

Dress number 161.

130, 131, 132...

Oh, got to admit, this is some kind of closet.

Uh, it'��s 1-... 61.

Oh. 161-- hanger'��s empty.

She got rid of the clothes?

It'��s possible she sent them to the cleaners

SR. to get rid of blood and G

nt. We can get a warra

Well... she wouldn'��t have se nt her jewelry to the cleaners.

(typing)

Got it. Drawer 19.

es. Oh. How apropos that she'��s named nam

nd. A canary diamo

SIDLE: Want to bet the birdie sings in the key of GSR?

?? ??

?? ??

Mom?

What are you doing?

Where'��s Lindsey?

She'��s on a sleep-over.

. So kill me

irls. And I had dinner at Drai'��s with the g

or. Filet to die f

Drai'��s...

The girls like to spend.

(sneezes)

Red wine always makes me two of the Seven Dwarfs:

Sleepy and Sneezy.

(sniffs)

Where did you get that hanky?

A friend.

A friend who was at Lois'��s party?

(sighs)

Now don'��t get mad, Catherine.

You can'��t be seeing Sam.

And why not?

Oh, for one thin g, he'��s a player.

I don'��t expect monogamy from him.

I can'��t believe this.

And I am not promising that he'��ll get it from me, either.

What are you doing?

Put it in the envelope . ! Why?!

Because we haven'��t cle ared Sam as a suspect.

He can'��t be!

He has been so wonderful to me these past few weeks.

Oh, this has been going on for weeks, huh?

We have a history together, Catherine.

We were young together.

Someday, maybe you'��ll understand.

(siren whoops)

You want to see me, Muggs,

all you need is a phone.

oom. You lied about being in Lois O'��Neill'��s bedr

I was in that bedroom once.

In 1967.

As a gentleman,

I would prefer not going into details.

Your handkerchief puts you there when the waiter was shot.

One of these?

Lois and I were going over old times.

She got a little weepy.

. What she did with it after that, I don'��t know

My housekeeper made me a dozen for Christmas.

I'��ve only got half left.

So quit giving them away.

e. Oh... you'��re mothering m

You know, Sam,

this is the second time that I thought

that you might be a killer.

Come on,

you know better.

The thing is, I don'��t.

It never occurred to me for a minute

e. that this is something that you wouldn'��t have don

e, And that wouldn'��t bother m

. except you'��re dating my mother

Look,

I'��m being good to Lil this time around.

Give us a chance.

Give me a chance.

You'��ll see.

Making up for stabbing one showgirl

by being kind to another. Hmm.

. If you weren'��t my daughter..

What?

What would you do, Sam?

(door slams shut)

Vanity, thy name is Hodges.

This isn'��t what it looks like.

I actually like my gray hair.

The few that I have.

Hodges, don'��t you know that gray hair

? can be very attractive

The ring?

The ring?

The ring.

The ring was positive for GSR.

er. That means Lois could be the shoot

I guess we'��ll ha ve to bring her in.

One of your guys take the crime scene tape down?

Sara and Catherine cleared the scene about two hours ago.

Miss O'��Neill, Las Vegas Police.

eill? Miss O'��N

(song playing faintly in distance)

?? ?? I thought you cared about me

?? Where are you? ??

?? Where'��s my heart? ??

(song grows louder)

?? Where is the dream we started? ??

?? I can'��t believe we'��re parted... ??

?? Where are you? ??

a. SANDERS: Wow, it'��s the end of an er

From the containment of the blood,

it appears she was shot while lying down.

... Asleep

or surprised by someone she trusted?

s Nick just found out that Tim Duke'��s airline ticket

were purchased by a credit card

under the name of Double-X Associates.

mpany. That'��s Lois O'��Neill'��s co

How do you know that?

She was the double-kiss girl.

SANDERS: Yeah, you can'��t say her name

without kissing twice.

Lois O'��Neill--

Kiss-kiss. XX.

Huh.

Well, Nick also found out that the only two names

authorized to sign on that card, were Lois O'��Neill

and Eve Girard.

? She looks perfect, doesn'��t she

Except for these smudges on her eyelids.

Grissom,

you know I w as looking into

? that Pan Am heist in '��65

On your own time, I hope.

It'��s relat ed to our case.

I just got off the phone with the FBI lab at Quantico.

Bobby Dawson sent them ballistics

on the gun we foun d on Tim Duke.

And?

It'��s a match to the gun that was used

to kill a guard in the Pan Am heist.

. So I sent them seria ls on the cash we found

Also a match to the Pan Am heist?

Right-o, daddy-o.

Congratulations, Greg.

This is Doc Robbins'�� prelimina ry autopsy report

on Lois O'��Neill.

When he opened her up, he found that her body was riddled

with advanced tumors.

Wow.

She knew she was going to die.

, That'��s why s he wrote the book

'��cause she knew that if she was gone,

. there'��d be nobody left to tell the true story

You read it.

Do you think that'��s how she wanted to go out?

No.

But, uh... looking beautiful-- yeah.

In all the papers-- yeah.

Murdered...

. Only if she was the on e who called the shots

Yeah.

(chuckles)

Oh, we had some good times.

You knew she had cancer? No, she had guts.

She staged her exit like a pro.

The book, the party...

She only made one mistake-- she hired an amateur.

Tim Duke?

Also known as Vincent Pullone?

A wimp and a thief.

Lois would give you all the cookies you wanted,

but you stuck your hand in the cookie jar...

she'��d chop it off.

Try to relax, honey.

y. This'��ll be eas

I'��ll be on the b ed, one shot.

Don'��t be sloppy.

What the hel l? What do you care?

You'��re going to be dead anyway.

Nobody steals from me.

u? Why'��d she ask Duke, not yo

She didn'��t want to invol ve an old friend.

Until yesterday.

BRASS: Yesterday afternoon, Lois O'��Neill wired

$250,000 to your siste r in Sarasota.

. Now you were Tony C'��s driver

l. The only one he trusted to bodyguard Miss O'��Neil

You took care of her right until the end.

Well, who else do I have to take care of?

My guess is she offered you the money,

but being a friend, you refused.

So, she sent it to your sister instead.

(chuckles softly)

She sent it to my sister.

You know,

you'��ve got a choice

between checking out all shriveled up, in a hospital,

or at home, looking like a million bucks.

Any guy who'��d do that for a good friend...

he'��s okay by me.

If you see Tony... tell him I love him.

No, doll...

You'��re going to see him before I do.

(kissing noises)

(chuckles softly)

(gunshot)

?? Where are you? ??

?? Where have you gone without me? ??

?? ?? I thought you cared about me

?? Where are you? ??

?? Where'��s my heart? ??

?? Where'��s the dream we started? ??

ted ?? ?? I can'��t believe we'��re par

?? Where are you? ??

? ?? When we said good-bye, love ?

?? What had we to gain? ??

? ?? When I gave you my love ?

?? Was it all in vain? ??

?? All life through ??

?? ?? Must I go on pretending?

? ?? Where is that happy ending? ?

?? Where are you? ??

?? Where are you? ??
