From what I've seen, marriage
and secrets have a lot in common.

Now, I've never been married

and to be honest, I'm usually
paid to find out secrets,

not keep them.

But when you've worked in
this profession long enough,

you begin to see
some similarities.

Both depend on trust,

neither of them
seems to last too long,

and they're usually based
on the same thing, sex.

Would you please
just turn that off?

The easiest way to end a marriage
and the hardest secrets

to keep always involve sex.

Would you like a smoke,
Mrs. Bauer?

Thank you.

Thanks again, Mr. Mallory.

You've been the only bright
spot during this whole ordeal.

No thanks necessary.
And, please, call me Ray.

All right. I still can't
believe that he did this to me.

I can't help but feel that
somehow, it's my fault.

I don't see how.

It's just that I'm afraid,
you know, that I'm...

losing my looks.

Well, in my esteemed opinion,

you're still one very
good-looking lady.

Do you mean that?

Well, I wouldn't say it
if I didn't mean it.

Thanks, Ray. You're not bad
yourself. Not bad at all.

What is it?

Sorry to bother you, Ray, but,
uh, your three o'clock is here.

How long before you can see him?

Tell him I'll be just a minute.

You better make that five minutes,

Terry, and hold all my calls.
I don't want to be disturbed.

Gotcha. It'll be
about five minutes, sir.

Now, where were we?

Now, in my business,

it's a rule of thumb never to
get involved with the client.

Well, it's been my experience that rules,

like thumbs, can be broken.

I want you so bad, Ray.
I want you inside of me.

That can be arranged.

l have been waiting
for over half an hour.

l don't think you have anything
to worry about, Mrs. Bauer.

Everything's going to
work out just fine.

Uh, thank you, Ray,
you've been, uh, a big help.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
Ray Mallory.

Why don't you step
into my office

and tell me what
this is all about?

You're real smooth, Mallory.
l'll give you that.

l guess l always knew
it wouldn't last.

You know, she looks
like a movie star.

l'm just an accountant
from Palmdale.

What makes you so sure she's
seeing someone else, Mr. Traux?

Well, to be honest,
l'm not a hundred percent sure.

l mean, l admit, it could just
be my own paranoia on account of

what my wife does for a living.

And what would that be?

She's a stripper.

Where does your wife work?

lt's at a place called the Excalibur Club.

lt's on Sunset. She, um,
goes by the name of Holly.

l, l brought a picture of her.

Just, you know, to help you
recognize her when you get there.

All right, then, Mr. Traux.
l'll see what l can do.

Thank you.

The Excalibur was
a little dive on Sunset

that tried to pass itself off
as a classy gentleman's club.

lt failed miserably.

Can l get you a drink?

No, thank you.

Do you want a dance?

Yes. l'd like that.

Good. Follow me.

You need to keep your arms on
the armrests, and remember...

...you can't touch.

Do you like this?

Very much.

Good.

-What's your name?
-Max.

-Hi, Max. l'm Holly.
-Hello, Holly.

So, what do you
for a living, Max?

l'm in real estate.

That sounds like fun.

Oh, not really.

You need to get out more.
Maybe you need a girlfriend.

Well, l guess l've never
found the right girl.

You're very good at this.

Thank you. l practice.

l can tell.

God, you feel so good.

The song's over.

Do you want another dance?

Uh... No, l'm sorry.
l, l need to be going.

Well... Maybe you'll be coming back.

-l mean, l work from...
-No.

l, l'm leaving L.A. for a little while.

How much do l owe you?

Twenty-five bucks.

Here you go.

Thanks.

l didn't bring it.
l'm sorry.

l'll have it here tomorrow at four.
l can't get it until then.

Betsy needs more time.
lt will be here tomorrow.

l can meet him.
l can't guarantee it. Yes.

l missed you. God, l missed you,
too. Yes. Yes, l love you.

So, you didn't get any
photos of who she was with?

No, l didn't, Mr. Traux.
Street cleaner came by.

Had to move the car.
When l got back, whoever he was,

he was gone. l wouldn't worry, though.

The audio l recorded last night
should be good enough to hold up

in any court.

You know, listen, Mallory,

we signed a prenupt before we
got married. Now unless l have,

unless you can prove

she's meeting with some guy,
she gets half of what l own,

and l want to keep what's mine.

l understand, Mr. Traux.
Leave it to me. Bye-bye.

Thanks, Terry.

Gotcha.

Hey, Terry? l am home!

Ray, you'd better get in here quick.

The political world is shocked
by what appears to be a tryst

between Congressional candidate,
Arthur Sterling,

and an unknown woman at a home
located in the Hollywood Hills.

While the woman's identity is
still not known at this time,

these photos of her with
Sterling were published

in today's ''Hollywood lnquisitor''.
-You've got to be kidding me.

So far, polls have shown
Sterling's lead dropping

significantly. lt is estimated
to be only five or six points,

and that is shrinking
by the minute.

-Did you know any of this, Ray?
-lt's news to me.

Traux must have
tipped off the reporters.

And you didn't recognize him
when you took his picture.

l don't know anything
about politics.

The last time l voted it was
for the baseball all-star game.

ls anyone here?

Would you take care of that?

Mrs. Sterling, what do you
think of the allegations against

your husband?

l, l don't believe them for
an instant. l know my husband,

and l know he is
one-hundred percent faithful.

Uh, Ray?
Could you come here a minute?

What does she want now?

Please, no more questions.

Oh, Jesus, Terry.
l hope this thing blows over.

So, you're Ray Mallory.
lt figures. l hope you

got your jollys the other night,
'cause when l finish with you,

you won't ever have a chance
to pull this shit again.

And if you don't want
your license revoked,

you'd better tell me who
hired you to take these pictures.

l, l, l can't tell you that.
The names of my clients

are confidential.

Don't give me this shit!

This is my face
all over this paper!

What kind of private investigator
sells photos to the press?!

Mrs. Traux, perhaps you should
ask your husband about this.

-Maybe he can...
-l'm not married,

and my name ain't Traux. lt's Grail.

How many times do l have
to go through this with you?!

l did not send you those pictures.

l simply want to know how
the newspaper got a hold of them.

-Assholes.
-So they think you sent them.

l can't believe this.

l can't guarantee it. Yes.
l missed you.

God, l missed you, too.
lt will be here tomorrow.

l can meet him. l can't guarantee it.

Yes. l missed you.
God, l missed you, too.

Yes. Yes, l love you.

Sometimes things happen to people for no reason.

These people get hurt,
they call it bad luck,

and no one's to blame for that.

But that wasn't
what happened here.

l was just dumb.

And what do you call it
when something bad happens,

not for no reason,
but for no good reason?

Dumb luck, l guess.
And dumb luck or not,

it didn't make me feel
any less responsible.

Everybody makes mistakes.
Some are so costly,

then can derail careers.
Take Arthur Sterling, for example.

Caught with a stripper in some
love nest in the Hollywood Hills.

Pretty bad for
a Congressional hopeful.

And who took these photos?
Me. That's my mistake.

And l've got the law suit to prove it.

My only hope to avoid losing my license was to talk to

Mr. Sterling and hopefully square
everything away, man to man.

The only problem was,

l wasn't going to be
talking to Mr. Sterling.

Let me get this straight.
You say that a Mr. Traux

claims to be Holly's husband, and
hired you to take those photos,

and this is the same mystery
man that sent them to the papers.

-ls that correct?
-Mm-hm.

Well, you are a very lucky man,
Mr. Mallory, because l believe you

and so does my husband. That's
why were dropping the law suit.

-What? Drop it?
-Yes.

So, you can forget
about everything.

Well, see that's the problem,
Mrs. Sterling. l can't forget

about it.You see, a man in
my line of work relies on

his reputation. Now when word
gets out that l was played for

a sucker now, that's the end
of me. Clients have a tendency

to stay away from stupid P. l.'s,
so if you don't mind

l'd like to speak
with your husband, now.

l'm sorry but Arthur can't
be disturbed right now.

He's trying to fix what
is left of his campaign.

Why do you want
to talk to him, anyway?

Mrs. Sterling, whoever set me
up had nothing against me.

They were trying to
get back at your husband.

l'd like to find out why.

So do you think that
this Holly, the stripper,

-...knows anything about it?
-lt's possible. Maybe.

Well, l have a proposition for
you. l would like to hire you

to find her and bring her to
be before Tuesday's elections.

l'll pay you double
your regular rate plus

an additional ten thousand dollars
if you can bring her to me

before Monday evening.

That's mighty generous.

l have my husband's
reputation to worry about.

Find her.
You have three days.

l tried to get a hold of Holly
at the club that she worked at,

ut no luck. They hadn't seen hide nor hair of her in two days

ever since the story
broke about her and Sterling.

Normally, l don't like doing
this breaking and entering,

but when you're getting
offered as much money as l was,

you quickly begin
to make exceptions.

The stove was on,

but all the water in
the kettle had evaporated.

l don't know what
happened to Holly, but l could tell

that she had left,
and in a very big hurry.

-Acme Taxi Service.
-Did you say Acme Taxi Service?

That is correct, sir.
How can l help you?

This is Lieutenant
Stamp from L.A.P.D.

Have you picked up anyone
from eighteen-eighty-nine

Let's see. Yes. Yes, we did, sir.
Yesterday morning.

Really? Well, could you tell me
where this woman was dropped off?

Sometimes l forget how
small this town can be.

it didn't take me

long to find out what was
located there and who owned it.

His was a name l hadn't heard in
years, and from the sound of it,

he seems to have
moved up in the world.

All right, honey, let's go.
We'll get to that later. Let's go.

Yeah, we'll get to that later.
Roll 'em. And action!

l wonder what's taking
the pizza man so long?

-You ordered a pizza?
-ls it hot and tasty?

Well, you're just gonna have
to find that out for yourself.

You should...
You two should...

-Line?
-Cut!

What the fuck, man!
The line is supposed to be,

You're gonna have to
find out for yourself.

''Why don't you eat it.
And see what you think.

How hard is that?! To say!

l'm very sorry, Buddy.
l've completely forgot.

Oh, you forgot. Every
time you forget, it costs me.

All right...
Let's try again, people!

Shhh... And action!

You can just offer
to find out for yourself.

That sounds like a good idea.

Do you still try to win
the Oscar, Buddy?

Who let you in here, Mallory?
This is a closed set.

l told them l was
a friend of yours,

Buddy G.,
from back in the old days.

Yeah, what days?
There are no days.

Back in the days when l kept
picking you up as a driver

for that little call girl
outfit down on Gower.

Good to see you moved up.

Mm-hm. All right.
Let's move away from the set.

l don't want to
disturb my actors.

Keep rollin'.
l'll be back in a second.

So what do you want, Mallory?
Last l heard, you had left Vice.

You heard right. Three years ago.
Now l'm gum-shoein' on an M.P.

l thought you might be
able to help me out with it.

Yeah, who's missin'?

A stripper by the name of Holly
Grail. You heard of her?

Holly Grail?
ls that her real name or stage?

Real.

Jesus, that is the fakest
soundin' name l've ever heard.

l know she came here two days ago.

l thought you might
be able to tell me why.

Oh, yeah. This chick
was here, all right.

Why did she
come here, Buddy?

Well she had to talk
to one of my actresses,

a girl by the name of Candy Cane
and that's not her real name.

Could l speak with her?

Yeah, you can in a second.
Let me just get through the scene.

She, uh, needed
some money and a ride.

She's in trouble, and,
uh, she didn't say why.

Do you remember
where you drove her?

-To L.A.X.
-Which terminal?

-Allied Airlines, l think.
-How do you know Holly?

-We used to work together.
-Really? Where at?

-An escort service.
-Which one?

-Well, Fay Legs.
-Really? The Fay Legs? Wow.

Do you know anybody else
that she might ask for help?

Any girls she was
close to, any friends?

No. Um, uh, the only friend she
had was an ex-roommate of hers.

They did outcalls under the ad,
College Coeds ln Need of Money,

but, uh, l don't know her
name and l never met her before.

Um, to be honest with you, l, l
really wasn't that close to Holly.

Well, if you weren't
that close to her,

why did she call you for help?

l guess she just thought
she could trust me.

Thanks, Candy.
You've been a real help.

We all done?

Yeah. That's it.
Pretty painless, huh?

-Are you finished for the day?
-Yeah.

Well, how would you like to
make a little extra money?

Well, what exactly
do you have in mind?

Hi. l couldn't help

but notice that you've
been sitting here for a while.

Shit!

Hi, l'd like to help
out with the campaign.

She can help you with that.

Thanks.

Hello. l'm Tom Shrader.

l'd like to help out
with the campaign.

Great. l'm very happy you
want to volunteer, Mr.

l'm sorry. l forgot your name.

Shrader. Tom.

OK, let me just get the volunteer
forms ready for you.

Sounds good.

Are those pictures
of the Congressman?

Oh, yes. Yes, they are.

Would you mind
if l took a closer look?

Oh... no. Feel free.

Sorry ton trouble you again, but

who is this gentlemen
here with the Congressman?

Oh, uh, that's Henry Graham,
one of Mr. Morgan's aides.

You know, he used to work here,

actually, um, till he got moved
to some other duty.

Really. What's his job now?

Um, l'm not really sure.

He was transferred
three days ago.

Oh, here are your forms and
let me get you just one more.

Yes. ls Mr. Graham in?

He's not.

Well, then, can l
leave him a message?

Tell him that Ray Mallory called,

and that l need to speak
with him about Mr. Traux.

That's right. Traux.

No, he'll, he'll know
what l'm talking about.

All right.
Thank you. Bye-bye.

How's it goin', chief?

Oh, as well as can be expected.

What have you got for me?

Well, l checked with
Allied Airlines,

and nobody under the name
of Holly Grail is listed

on any of the flights.

But that doesn't
really mean much.

-Maybe she used an alias.
-Or she didn't fly at all.

What else have you got for me?

All of her relatives
are on the East Coast,

except for a step brother,

and he's right here in Los Angeles.

Outstanding. Could you dig up
something on him for me.

l already did.

His name is William
Jefferson Grail,

and he's been arrested for
pandering and lewd conduct,

but never charged with anything.

William Jefferson Grail. Probably
goes by ''Bill'', l'd assume.

Or his nickname, which is
listed here as ''Buddy''.

Did you say Buddy?

Mm-hm.

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, baby.

Oh, you are just somethin' else.

Oh, that feels so good! Mmm.

l hope l'm not
interrupting anything.

No, don't stop on my account,
Buddy, or should l say, Bill?

-What the fuck, Mallory?!
-Where's your sister?!

What the fuck are
you talkin' about?!

l can't believe l was so thick.

Buddy G. A.K.A. Bill Grail.

Holly didn't come here to see
Candy, she came here to see you

her step brother.

l don't know what the screw
you're talkin' about, man!

You're lyin' to me, scumbag!

l want to know
where your sister is!

l don't know, man!

She was here but
she ain't right now!

Look, she came by again
right after you left.

l told her, l told her
how you were lookin' for her,

and how Candy let it slip

that she used to work
for Fay, and she bolted!

What's she so afraid of?

Look, Mallory, l don't know, OK?
She kept me in the dark.

All l could figure out

is that she's tryin' to
get a hold of somethin',

and some guy called Lott

is supposed to bring it to her.

All right. Listen up.

You get in touch with your sister
and tell her to get a hold of me.

She's got nothing to be afraid of.

Oh, really?

She doesn't.You do.

See you around, Buddy.

Hold it, Mallory.

You're not goin'
anywhere tonight.

Well, if it isn't my old friend.

Somebody wants to talk
to you. Follow me.

Hey, Tiger, aren't
you going to thank me

for getting your glands waxed?

You know who l am?

Congressman Joseph Morgan,

Representative from the state of
California for the last five terms.

Very good.
lt's nice to be recognized.

Well, if you know who l am,

then you know how important l am
to the state and to the city,

how l sit on five committees,

am the chairman of two of them,

how l bring a large number of jobs
and government contracts to L.A.

Yeah, l know all that.

l also know that you
were investigated twice

by the House Ethics Committee for
illegal campaign contributions.

Where's the girl, Mr. Mallory?

l don't know. But l will soon.

Tell you what.

You find that girl for
me before Monday night,

and l will reward you generously.

What's she to you?

She has something of mine,
Mr. Mallory.

l just want it back.

And what would that be?

-Good news?
-Very good.

We may no longer have need of
your services, Mr. Mallory.

Now l would like to keep
this little conversation

just between the two of us.

Sounds good to me.

And to make sure that happens,

l've told the boys to give
you a little reminder.

Mallory? Are you all right?

Holly, what are you doing here?

My brother told me
that you went to see him

and that you wanted to help me.

What happened to you?

l stuck my thumb in the wrong pie.

-Let me take a look.
-lt's fine.

Look, l'm sorry about that.

Don't apologize.
My brother told me all about you.

Yeah? What did he say?

He said that you were
an all right guy.

But now there's something
that l have to ask you.

Why are you looking for me?

l was hired, too.

-By whom?
-Arthur Sterling's wife.

Janice? Really?

Well, now you can tell
her that you've found me

and that l'm all right.

-Now, who did this to you?
-Congressman Morgan.

Apparently, he's
under the impression

that you have something of his.

Look, Ray, l just came by to
let you know that l'm okay,

and to tell you that l don't
blame you for any of this.

Yeah, well, l blame myself.

And to tell you the truth, l don't
think everything's okay with you.

l think there's
still something going on

and you're not
telling me everything.

Looks like they really
worked you over, didn't they?

l'm fine.

Well, is there
anything that l can do?

Kiss it and make it better.

-ls that better?
-Much.

lf l had to tell you
everything l had to go through

to find this girl Holly,
you wouldn't believe me.

But find her, l did.

Or in truth, she found
me like a wish come true,

or a sweet dream where everything
come out perfect in the end.

Unfortunately, just like a dream,
she was gone in the morning.

Ray, you'd better get up.

lt doesn't look
good for the client

to see you sleeping
like this. Ray!

-Where's the girl?
-Girl?

Holly. Holly Grail.
She was here last night.

-Really?
-Don't start with me.

That's ten-thousand
dollars we just lost.

Uh, no, that's ten-thousand
dollars that you just lost.

l'm sorry. l had to leave.

l mean, l really wish
you'd throw these out

when you're finished with them.

Let me see that.

Let me see the other one.

Sure. Why?

lf it was a snake,
it would've bit me.

Where are you going?

l'll be back in an hour.

l asked the manager if anyone
fitting a certain description

was staying at the motel.

lt cost me two Andy Jacksons

to get the information
l was looking for.

He had paid for
two weeks in advance

and gave the manager a hefty
bonus not to be disturbed.

The place had been searched, and
by amateurs from the look of it.

They had been in a hurry, too.

l hoped that whatever they had been
looking for, they couldn't find.

There's an old saying that goes,

hide it in plain sight.''

A book in a book case?

Or in this case,
a videotape in a VCR.

Well, well, well.

Hey, Lott! Why don't you put that
camera down and join the party?

l guess this is what he
means by family values, huh?

Lott! Why don't you put down
the camera and join in?

l will in a minute.

l'm just making sure
everyone's enjoying the party.

We should release
this to the press.

They would have
a field day with this.

No, l don't think so.

l think that's the last
thing that Holly wants.

Why is that?

Why, hello.
ls Mrs. Sterling there?

Oh, she's not.

Do you know when she left?

No, that's all right.
l, l think l know where she is.

l can tell when you have
something, Mallory. What's up?

l can't say, yet,
but l think l got a hunch.

Mallory, here.
Oh, hello, Congressman.

l see you got my note.

Yes. Mm-hm.
l got the tape right here.

And may l be the
first to say, sir,

that you are very photogenic.

Yeah. Wait. Let me tell
you what l'm gonna do.

l'll give you a call in an
hour and give you the address

of where l want us to meet.

Mm-hm.Bye-bye.

Ray, are you gonna
tell me what's going on?

Later. Right now l've got
something for you to do.

Take that tape to Mrs. Sterling,

and tell her to
meet me at ten o'clock

at this address.

She'll figure out the rest.

You got it.

Holly, l am so glad that you're...

Come in, Mrs. Sterling.
l've been expecting you.

What are you doing here?

Please, take a seat,
Mrs. Sterling.

Holly, be a doll and fix us a
couple of drinks, would you?

l demand to know
what's going on here.

All in good time, Janice.

-lt is Janice, isn't it?
-Yes.

May l ask you
what your maiden name was?

Town. Why?

Just trying to fit the missing
pieces into the puzzle, that's all.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, l was curious as
to why you hired me.

Generally, when a woman
finds her husband cheating,

she wants the other
woman to completely vanish.

Maybe l'm not
like those other wives.

Maybe l'm more understanding.

Maybe.

And maybe your husband wasn't with
Holly that night in the motel.

Maybe it was somebody else.

Like who?

Let me tell you about
a case l'm working on.

There was a young politician
who decided to run for Congress.

The only problem was,

is the incumbent Congressman
was a real S.O.B.

who didn't like to lose.

So the Congressman
decided to dig up

as much dirt on the young
candidate as he could find.

The thing is, he was
clean, squeaky clean.

The Congressman's men couldn't
find a thing on him except

it seems that the young candidate's
wife used to put herself

through school by working as
a call girl with her ex-roommate.

Now, when the Congressman
found out about this,

he knew he had all he needed

to put him over the top.

Once the news was
released to the press

the race would be over.

Are you with me so far? Good.

Well, the roommate found out
about the Congressman's plan.

And when the young woman
moved on and got married,

the roommate stayed behind
and worked in a brothel,

the same brothel that
the Congressman frequented.

And she found out
that there existed a tape.

that containes some
of the Congressman's

extracurricular activities.

And she knew, that
if she gonna hold that tape

the Congressman could never
realize the young candidate's wives

through get it little a secret.

So, they get together to figur

that they can get
a hold of the tape.

But she sad, they still
had feelings from one another.

You see, at one time they
were very much in love.

One thing led to another.

l think you're that someone.

Am l right, Mrs. Sterling?

Yeah. You got it right.

l, l never meant
to cheat on Arthur.

lt was kind of
our farewell kiss.

So, what now, Mallory?

l guess you want me to pay you
off so that you don't release

the sordid little
details of my life.

Well, l'm sorry.
lt doesn't matter anyway.

A few hours, Morgan's gonna
tell the world everything.

And l will have ruined the
one man that l ever loved.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Who's that?

That would be Joseph Morgan.

Joseph Morgan?

Why is he here?

Because l invited him.

l thought you wanted
to make a deal?

-Where's the tape?
-lt's not here.

Call off your dog, Morgan.

l already sent
the tape to Sterling.

What? Well, now what could you
possibly hope to accomplish?

Well, what we have
here is a stand-off.

Without that tape,
you can't release

Miss Sterling's
dirty little secrets

not unless you want the kind of
press that ruins political careers.

You listen to me, Mallory.

l'm still gonna win that election.

And when l do,
l'm gonna make you pay!

Well, let's not make any threats

until the last vote
is counted, shall we?

Get the door.

The door, door!

Quite a night, huh?

Are you depressed?

No. l'll be all right.

l just need some
relaxation, that's all.

Well, maybe this
will cheer you up.

What is it?

My resignation.

What? Your resignation?

Yep. Effective immediately.

Terry, you can't quit.
l need you.

Well, you can always hire me back
once you're feeling better.

You're amazing.

Ain't l, though?

So that pretty much wrapped it up.

l re-hired Terry,of course.

And every so often,
she would resign.
