1
00:00:35,921 --> 00:00:39,288
Live, until they drop dead...
2
00:00:40,192 --> 00:00:41,887
... from the beautifulCarlou Theater...
3
00:00:42,094 --> 00:00:44,324
... in the heart of sunnyMiami Beach, Florida...

00:00:44,530 --> 00:00:47,465
... it's the Veterans DayPolio Telethon!

00:00:47,666 --> 00:00:50,191

... the beautiful, the talented,Lanny Morris...
7
00:00:53,773 --> 00:00:56,708
... and Vince Collins!
8
00:01:16,061 --> 00:01:18,029
Do you realize
we have to present ourselves...
9
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:20,790
...in front of these lovely
people for the next three days?
10
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,298
Hello, lovely people
for the next three days.
11
00:01:23,502 --> 00:01:25,367
- Look at you. You're a disgrace.
- What?
12
00:01:25,571 --> 00:01:29,200
Look, your hair's a mess, your shoes
aren't shined, your shirt's not pressed.
13
00:01:29,408 --> 00:01:33,435
- Look at your tie. It's not even straight.
- Look at yours. It doesn't even clip on.
14
00:01:35,781 --> 00:01:37,112
Now...
15
00:01:37,483 --> 00:01:39,041
...I�m upset.
16
00:01:39,885 --> 00:01:41,944
You know what
happens when I get upset.
17
00:01:42,154 --> 00:01:44,748
No, no, no. Please.
Please don't hurt me, Vince.
18
00:01:44,957 --> 00:01:48,154
I've had a terrible day already.
All sorts of bad things have happened.
19
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,588
I don't wanna be hurt again.
20
00:01:49,795 --> 00:01:52,320
- You've been hurt already, have you?
- Been hurt real bad.
21
00:01:52,531 --> 00:01:53,725
And what happened,
pray tell?
22
00:01:53,933 --> 00:01:56,766
- Want me to pray or want me to tell?
- I think you better pray.
23
00:01:57,102 --> 00:01:59,662
- I saw this stranger
- I don't know whether you're...
24
00:01:59,872 --> 00:02:02,067
...singing or speaking.
- Leave my pad
25
00:02:02,274 --> 00:02:05,801
- One thing I do know...
- And I said, "Baby...
26
00:02:06,011 --> 00:02:09,037
- ... what explanation do you have?"
- There's always a woman involved.
27
00:02:09,248 --> 00:02:11,614
And she said:
28
00:02:11,817 --> 00:02:13,614
- Next time?
- Next time
29
00:02:13,819 --> 00:02:16,083
And I said, "There will beNo next time"
30
00:02:16,288 --> 00:02:19,382
That's what you said last time,
Lanny, and the time before that.
31
00:02:20,860 --> 00:02:24,853
You have to make sure there's no first
time, then there can't be a next time.
32
00:02:25,631 --> 00:02:27,462
Or a last time.
33
00:02:27,666 --> 00:02:31,397
- That was the last time for me
- Let's hope so, Lanny.
34
00:02:31,604 --> 00:02:33,469
Lanny Morris,
ladies and gentlemen.
35
00:03:41,473 --> 00:03:44,408
My manager sent me over
some of your work.
36
00:03:45,010 --> 00:03:47,911
It's funny how you're
really in them a lot.
37
00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:50,905
Whenever I read these
interviews where the writer says:
38
00:03:51,116 --> 00:03:54,108
"This is how I felt the morning
I woke up to meet the pope"...
39
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,118
..."how I felt when the pope greeted
me, how he reminded me...
40
00:03:57,323 --> 00:03:58,722
...so much of my friend Mike"...
41
00:03:58,924 --> 00:04:01,586
...I always think,
"Who the fuck is Mike?"
42
00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:05,056
So who are you?
43
00:04:06,398 --> 00:04:08,127
I was a young journalist...
44
00:04:08,334 --> 00:04:09,767
... with a few awards...
45
00:04:10,536 --> 00:04:13,096
... a couple of cover stories...
46
00:04:13,305 --> 00:04:16,274
... and a desperate needto prove myself.
47
00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:21,445
If you look through my work,
you'll see I try to present...
48
00:04:21,647 --> 00:04:24,411
...a balanced view of my subjects.
49
00:04:24,616 --> 00:04:26,550
I leave the conclusions
to the reader.
50
00:04:26,752 --> 00:04:28,049
I'm not sure we like balance.
51
00:04:28,253 --> 00:04:30,050
Or leaving
the conclusions to the reader.
52
00:04:30,255 --> 00:04:32,120
I'm used to being publicized,
not analyzed.
53
00:04:32,324 --> 00:04:33,757
It would be your words.
54
00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:36,291
We'd publish it as a transcript:
55
00:04:36,495 --> 00:04:39,089
My questions, your answers.
56
00:04:39,965 --> 00:04:42,957
If you say it, I can use it.
57
00:04:43,168 --> 00:04:44,499
If you don't, I can't.
58
00:04:44,703 --> 00:04:46,603
And they're gonna pay me
a million for this?
59
00:04:46,805 --> 00:04:49,171
An excerpt will be published
in a magazine as a way...
60
00:04:49,375 --> 00:04:52,742
...of amortizing the investment
they'll be making in the book.
61
00:04:53,479 --> 00:04:55,640
They're looking for some...
62
00:04:56,949 --> 00:04:59,782
...provocative stories
for the first issue.
63
00:04:59,985 --> 00:05:04,251
Any thoughts on what these
provocative stories might be about?
64
00:05:05,357 --> 00:05:08,952
The breakup.
Why Lanny and you split.
65
00:05:13,132 --> 00:05:15,157
And the girl.
66
00:05:15,567 --> 00:05:17,194
Maureen.
67
00:05:18,937 --> 00:05:21,701
What happened
to Maureen O'Flaherty.
68
00:05:23,575 --> 00:05:26,373
No one had ever been ableto pin Lanny Morris...
69
00:05:26,578 --> 00:05:29,979
... or Vince Collinsto the girl's death.
70
00:05:30,182 --> 00:05:31,877
All that was clear...
71
00:05:32,084 --> 00:05:35,713
... was that Maureen wasfound dead in their hotel suite.
72
00:05:37,022 --> 00:05:39,855
It was unthinkable to methat Lanny and Vince...
73
00:05:40,059 --> 00:05:42,926
... could have hadanything to do with it.
74
00:05:43,128 --> 00:05:45,062
They were my heroes.
75
00:05:45,364 --> 00:05:48,697
"The reason I consider
myself to be a miracle girl...
76
00:05:48,901 --> 00:05:50,732
...is because
I had the good fortune...
77
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:53,530
...to meet Lanny and Vince
when I was sick.
78
00:05:54,206 --> 00:05:57,403
Their love of life
is what gave me hope...
79
00:05:57,609 --> 00:06:01,101
...and it's hope
that gives us the power to live."
80
00:06:02,014 --> 00:06:03,948
Thank you, Lanny.
81
00:06:04,149 --> 00:06:06,083
Thank you, Vince.
82
00:06:21,333 --> 00:06:23,665
Come on, let's hear it for her.
83
00:06:23,869 --> 00:06:27,202
Denise handled publicityfor the polio foundation.
84
00:06:27,406 --> 00:06:30,773
And it was her idea to plugthe girl's story on the telethon.
85
00:06:30,976 --> 00:06:36,004
The day before, it was my idea to plugDenise at the Miami Versailles Hotel.
86
00:06:39,284 --> 00:06:41,514
Don't stop! Don't stop!
87
00:06:44,156 --> 00:06:45,885
Don't stop!
88
00:06:57,970 --> 00:07:00,495
You can tell a lot about a womanby the way she acts...
89
00:07:00,706 --> 00:07:03,300
... when you're having sexand room service comes in.
90
00:07:03,509 --> 00:07:05,568
Some girls will sit upand light a cigarette...
91
00:07:05,777 --> 00:07:09,645
... like there's nothing funnyin the world about her being naked.
92
00:07:09,848 --> 00:07:12,180
"It's obvious we werein the process of screwing...
93
00:07:12,384 --> 00:07:14,318
... so why not leta stranger into the room?"
94
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,782
Come on in.
95
00:07:15,988 --> 00:07:18,456
Then there's the kind that willpull the sheets up...
96
00:07:18,657 --> 00:07:20,215
... and act like they're asleep.
97
00:07:20,425 --> 00:07:22,416
Where would you like it, sir?
98
00:07:22,628 --> 00:07:24,391
Sweetheart, wherever you'd like it.
99
00:07:24,596 --> 00:07:27,224
Then, of course, there'sthe ones who scrunch real flat...
100
00:07:27,432 --> 00:07:30,333
... thinking that the bedwill look empty.
101
00:07:30,536 --> 00:07:34,097
With Denise, it was kind of hardto tell which way she'd go.
102
00:07:42,447 --> 00:07:44,608
Can I have your autograph,
Mr. Morris?
103
00:07:45,150 --> 00:07:46,481
Sure.
104
00:07:46,685 --> 00:07:49,711
Should I make it out to Maureen?
105
00:07:53,025 --> 00:07:55,084
I mean, your autograph on the bill.
106
00:07:58,864 --> 00:08:00,229
Okay.
107
00:08:00,966 --> 00:08:03,196
I mean, I'd love
to have your autograph.
108
00:08:04,303 --> 00:08:07,033
And maybe a few minutes
of your time.
109
00:08:07,806 --> 00:08:10,070
I'm a huge fan and...
110
00:08:10,475 --> 00:08:13,501
...well, I was thinking about...
111
00:08:13,712 --> 00:08:16,772
...writing an article on you
for my campus paper.
112
00:08:16,982 --> 00:08:18,415
I'm the editor.
113
00:08:18,617 --> 00:08:21,814
Any interview requests
go through me, honey.
114
00:08:25,290 --> 00:08:27,952
You know, it's just a college paper.
115
00:08:39,638 --> 00:08:41,162
Thank you.
116
00:08:41,673 --> 00:08:43,664
No, thank you.
117
00:08:45,244 --> 00:08:46,438
Thank you, Maureen.
118
00:08:46,645 --> 00:08:49,375
I say goodbye to Maureen,knowing I'd see her again...
119
00:08:49,581 --> 00:08:51,845
... close the door andthen turn to look at Denise...
120
00:08:52,050 --> 00:08:56,009
... thinking, "I know this girl from everycollege town we have ever played. "
121
00:08:56,221 --> 00:08:57,620
They're called career girls.
122
00:08:57,823 --> 00:09:00,087
The absolute easiest lays...
123
00:09:00,292 --> 00:09:03,056
... in this great nation of ours.
124
00:09:06,598 --> 00:09:09,089
Since you're reading this,you'd be interested to know...
125
00:09:09,301 --> 00:09:11,565
... that my favorite catcheswere the intellectuals.
126
00:09:11,770 --> 00:09:15,900
They'd be the ones in the straightblack dresses, severe black hair.
127
00:09:16,108 --> 00:09:20,340
Your basic neurotic,eyeglasses, cool jazz, liberal...
128
00:09:20,545 --> 00:09:23,207
..."I'll fuck any black guy aspart of my personal apology...
129
00:09:23,415 --> 00:09:25,679
... for racism in America" type.
130
00:09:27,152 --> 00:09:30,280
Anyhow, on this particular night,we're in a club in New Jersey...
131
00:09:30,489 --> 00:09:34,016
... it's the '50s, and I'm minglingwith the crowd.
132
00:09:34,526 --> 00:09:36,551
Now, when I say "mingling,"what I mean is...
133
00:09:36,762 --> 00:09:38,787
... I was scoutingfor who I would sleep with.
134
00:09:38,997 --> 00:09:41,090
Didn't matter if the girlscame with dates.
135
00:09:41,300 --> 00:09:44,565
That was Reuben's job.Reuben is my valet.
136
00:09:44,770 --> 00:09:47,568
I never figured out how hehelped them get rid of their dates...
137
00:09:47,773 --> 00:09:50,139
... but they were always goneby the second show.
138
00:09:50,342 --> 00:09:52,435
Reuben could clean upany situation.
139
00:09:52,644 --> 00:09:54,544
Excuse me, miss.
May I say that I think...
140
00:09:54,746 --> 00:09:57,909
...you have the most beautiful eyes
I have ever seen.
141
00:09:58,116 --> 00:10:01,574
Notice I say, "I think you've got the
most beautiful eyes I've ever seen."
142
00:10:01,787 --> 00:10:04,449
I haven't seen them yet.
I've been staring at your cans.
143
00:10:04,656 --> 00:10:05,918
Now, Lanny.
144
00:10:06,458 --> 00:10:09,894
- I can't believe he just said that.
- That is completely unacceptable.
145
00:10:10,095 --> 00:10:12,529
Madam, I apologize.
I apologize, ladies and gentlemen...
146
00:10:12,731 --> 00:10:15,461
...for my friend. You cannot
speak that way to a stranger.
147
00:10:15,934 --> 00:10:17,993
Look, her husband's not offended.
148
00:10:18,203 --> 00:10:20,137
- He's not?
- No, her husband's not offended.
149
00:10:20,339 --> 00:10:22,864
Her husband's not here.
This lucky guy is her boyfriend.
150
00:10:23,075 --> 00:10:25,475
And even he's not offended,
and do you know why?
151
00:10:25,677 --> 00:10:27,508
Well, I can certainly hazard a guess.
152
00:10:27,713 --> 00:10:30,580
What the hell is that? For chrissake,
Vince, this is America.
153
00:10:30,782 --> 00:10:34,343
We don't say, "hazard a guess."
We say "yes" or we say "no."
154
00:10:34,553 --> 00:10:36,214
Well, I say "no" to you, Morris.
155
00:10:36,421 --> 00:10:37,911
Excuse me?
Could you repeat that?
156
00:10:38,123 --> 00:10:40,353
I don't think
the entire audience heard you.
157
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,027
Go back to where
you came from, bastard!
158
00:10:43,228 --> 00:10:46,061
I get hecklers all the time,but this schmuck came off personal.
159
00:10:46,264 --> 00:10:47,595
Where did he think I came from?
160
00:10:47,799 --> 00:10:49,926
Bastard! Bastard!
He called me a bastard.
161
00:10:50,135 --> 00:10:52,035
Now, it doesn't show
from the front, Lanny.
162
00:10:52,237 --> 00:10:55,764
Now, please, would you kindly not
mount me? It's very disagreeable.
163
00:10:55,974 --> 00:10:58,238
Vince plunges straight intoquoting lines I wrote...
164
00:10:58,443 --> 00:11:00,434
... from a songfrom our first motion picture.
165
00:11:00,645 --> 00:11:03,546
I happen to be honoredto work with this jerk
166
00:11:03,749 --> 00:11:04,716
Is that a compliment?
167
00:11:04,916 --> 00:11:06,474
I never frown with this clown
168
00:11:06,685 --> 00:11:07,652
Never, never, never.
169
00:11:07,853 --> 00:11:09,115
I get a kick from this...
170
00:11:11,757 --> 00:11:13,349
... friend of mine
171
00:11:13,558 --> 00:11:17,016
Fine, but don't give
the mike to this kike.
172
00:11:20,899 --> 00:11:23,561
- Well...
- Just relax.
173
00:11:24,136 --> 00:11:27,867
It's not often we get topped by
a member of our audience, but...
174
00:11:28,073 --> 00:11:29,904
...this gentleman has
done the impossible.
175
00:11:30,108 --> 00:11:31,837
What is your name?
176
00:11:32,477 --> 00:11:34,468
- It's Joe.
- Joe...
177
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,910
...we were just wondering
if you'd be a great sport...
178
00:11:38,116 --> 00:11:40,380
...and help us out on stage.
What do you say, folks?
179
00:11:44,022 --> 00:11:45,216
Go on.
180
00:11:45,424 --> 00:11:48,484
Joe here is going to play
a crazy high school professor...
181
00:11:48,693 --> 00:11:53,096
...who's about to give Lanny
and I our final high school exam.
182
00:11:53,298 --> 00:11:57,166
So if you'll just excuse us while
we help Joe change into his...
183
00:11:57,369 --> 00:11:58,631
...crazy-professor outfit.
184
00:11:58,837 --> 00:12:00,930
Lanny, a little
costume-changing music...
185
00:12:01,139 --> 00:12:03,073
...if you please.
186
00:12:14,052 --> 00:12:15,747
Step this way.
187
00:12:16,588 --> 00:12:17,953
I'll have a word with him...
188
00:12:18,156 --> 00:12:19,953
...about the way
he spoke to your wife.
189
00:12:20,158 --> 00:12:21,716
Completely unnecessary.
190
00:12:21,927 --> 00:12:23,588
Just this way.
191
00:12:40,545 --> 00:12:43,844
You call any Jew on this planet
anything you like.
192
00:12:44,049 --> 00:12:48,713
But nobody calls my partner a kike.
Do you understand?
193
00:13:05,704 --> 00:13:08,070
Boffing ladies andbashing gentlemen.
194
00:13:08,273 --> 00:13:10,867
I tell you, there wasnothing under the sun...
195
00:13:11,076 --> 00:13:13,806
... Vince and I wouldn't dofor each other.
196
00:13:14,246 --> 00:13:15,907
Are you finished?
197
00:13:26,958 --> 00:13:28,858
Thank you, Mamie.
198
00:13:30,662 --> 00:13:32,994
I'm sorry about that, Miss O'Connor.
199
00:13:33,198 --> 00:13:36,395
We just needed to be sure
you didn't take any notes.
200
00:13:36,601 --> 00:13:39,729
Lanny gave me very specific
instructions on that point.
201
00:13:39,938 --> 00:13:43,339
I don't understand why
he'd want me to read this.
202
00:13:44,075 --> 00:13:46,441
Why would he ever want
anyone to see this side of him?
203
00:13:46,645 --> 00:13:49,307
When you contacted us about
meeting Lanny for your book...
204
00:13:49,514 --> 00:13:53,314
...it wasn't simply about letting you
know he didn't want to speak with you.
205
00:13:53,852 --> 00:13:56,980
I believe my client wanted you
to understand that he, in fact...
206
00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:59,657
...was completing a book
of his own which would serve...
207
00:13:59,858 --> 00:14:01,723
...not only as his autobiography...
208
00:14:01,927 --> 00:14:05,863
...but also as the definitive account of
the joint careers of Morris and Collins.
209
00:14:06,064 --> 00:14:10,000
You've had, at first hand,
a sample of Lanny's writing voice.
210
00:14:10,969 --> 00:14:12,368
Yes, I have.
211
00:14:12,571 --> 00:14:14,334
Such a book, Miss O'Connor...
212
00:14:14,539 --> 00:14:17,030
...this raw, this honest...
213
00:14:17,242 --> 00:14:19,369
...would make your own efforts look...
214
00:14:19,578 --> 00:14:20,943
There's been some very nice...
215
00:14:21,146 --> 00:14:23,637
...translations of the Bible
over the centuries...
216
00:14:23,848 --> 00:14:26,749
...but they would run
a very poor second in popularity...
217
00:14:26,952 --> 00:14:30,718
...to the discovery
of the actual Ten Commandments.
218
00:14:31,656 --> 00:14:34,386
Single best part about teaching
grade two is the difference...
219
00:14:34,593 --> 00:14:37,357
...between the bright ones and
the dumb ones isn't so obvious.
220
00:14:37,562 --> 00:14:39,962
- What's so great about that?
- The results of my work...
221
00:14:40,165 --> 00:14:41,723
...as a teacher
aren't so depressing.
222
00:14:41,933 --> 00:14:45,596
Also, there's no homework
to correct in the evenings and...
223
00:14:45,804 --> 00:14:48,364
...well, none of the kids
know how to use drugs.
224
00:14:54,746 --> 00:14:57,579
Bonnie had come from New Yorkto visit me that summer.
225
00:14:57,782 --> 00:15:00,342
We'd been best friendssince kindergarten.
226
00:15:00,986 --> 00:15:03,454
At school we started theLanny and Vince Fan Club...
227
00:15:03,655 --> 00:15:07,887
... raising almost $200for that year's telethon.
228
00:15:08,093 --> 00:15:09,958
All of you send in
a bit of your allowance.
229
00:15:10,161 --> 00:15:13,289
Just a little bit.
A dime, a nickel, a penny.
230
00:15:13,498 --> 00:15:16,023
Every bit helps.
231
00:15:16,935 --> 00:15:19,096
The goal of the telethon that year...
232
00:15:19,304 --> 00:15:23,604
... was $3.9 million, which wasa lot of dough at that time.
233
00:15:23,808 --> 00:15:27,574
Thank you, Tom.
You're a prince among men.
234
00:15:27,779 --> 00:15:30,270
Whoa, Lanny. There are
children watching!
235
00:15:30,482 --> 00:15:31,972
Where does he get his energy?
236
00:15:32,484 --> 00:15:33,951
To remind viewers of the goal...
237
00:15:34,152 --> 00:15:38,248
... we agreed the telethoncould run 39 hours nonstop.
238
00:15:39,324 --> 00:15:43,420
The show would begin at 9 p.m. OnFriday and finish at noon on Sunday.
239
00:15:43,628 --> 00:15:45,960
We paced it so thatVince and I were together...
240
00:15:46,164 --> 00:15:48,257
... for the kickoff,most of the day Saturday...
241
00:15:48,466 --> 00:15:51,958
... then the big finaleon Sunday with us bleary-eyed...
242
00:15:52,170 --> 00:15:55,105
... and weeping as Americagot ready to go to church.
243
00:15:55,306 --> 00:15:58,673
Lanny, Lanny. What are you doing?
244
00:15:58,877 --> 00:16:01,243
I'm ordering a pizza. I'm starving.
245
00:16:01,446 --> 00:16:05,177
No anchovies on mine, Lanny.
Hey, so who are you talking to?
246
00:16:05,383 --> 00:16:08,546
I'm talking to little Suzie
from Whittier, California...
247
00:16:08,753 --> 00:16:12,245
...and she is going to donate
three weeks of allowance.
248
00:16:12,457 --> 00:16:15,620
- How about that, folks?
- Suzie from Whittier, thank you.
249
00:16:15,827 --> 00:16:17,317
Three weeks of allowance.
250
00:16:17,529 --> 00:16:18,928
That's a challenge for all you...
251
00:16:19,130 --> 00:16:21,360
What you have to understandis that Vince and me...
252
00:16:21,566 --> 00:16:23,727
... were essentially a boy-girl act.
253
00:16:23,935 --> 00:16:26,495
I was the tramp,ready for any sort of action...
254
00:16:26,738 --> 00:16:28,296
... and Vince was the gentleman...
255
00:16:28,506 --> 00:16:30,633
... always trying to make mebehave myself.
256
00:16:30,842 --> 00:16:33,333
I was pleasure, and he was control.
257
00:16:33,678 --> 00:16:36,738
I was rock 'n' roll,and he was class.
258
00:16:36,948 --> 00:16:41,282
His presence gave Americapermission to like me.
259
00:16:43,722 --> 00:16:46,748
My deal with the publishergave me first-class travel...
260
00:16:46,958 --> 00:16:48,482
... a luxury I'd never enjoyed.
261
00:16:48,693 --> 00:16:51,093
Is there any chance of switching
to a window seat?
262
00:16:51,296 --> 00:16:53,560
Sorry, we're completely booked
in first.
263
00:16:53,765 --> 00:16:56,734
But these center seats
are really wonderful. See...
264
00:16:56,935 --> 00:16:59,062
...if you push here...
Can I show you?
265
00:16:59,270 --> 00:17:00,999
Sure.
266
00:17:02,707 --> 00:17:05,335
The chair swivels
to the left and the right.
267
00:17:05,543 --> 00:17:07,841
And this converts
to a full-sized dining table...
268
00:17:08,046 --> 00:17:09,809
...during our
Pan Am platinum service...
269
00:17:10,014 --> 00:17:12,574
...with damask linen
and silverware by Fornari...
270
00:17:12,784 --> 00:17:15,014
...so you don't have to eat off a tray.
271
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:17,882
Again, that's only
for these center seats.
272
00:17:18,857 --> 00:17:20,154
How does that sound?
273
00:17:20,525 --> 00:17:23,153
At that time, when youtraveled first class...
274
00:17:23,361 --> 00:17:27,457
... people would always ask you if youmet someone famous on the flight.
275
00:17:27,665 --> 00:17:29,599
- Mr. Morris.
- Thank you.
276
00:17:29,801 --> 00:17:30,961
You're welcome.
277
00:17:40,545 --> 00:17:44,879
Though he would later accuse meof engineering this, I didn't.
278
00:17:45,083 --> 00:17:46,448
It just...
279
00:17:46,651 --> 00:17:48,346
... happened.
280
00:17:54,659 --> 00:17:57,719
Reuben. So they...
They record these songs...
281
00:17:57,929 --> 00:17:59,658
...in a studio that I am paying for.
282
00:17:59,864 --> 00:18:01,695
Songs that are recorded for me...
283
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:03,595
...that they are
contracted to provide.
284
00:18:03,802 --> 00:18:05,770
- Are you with me here?
- Yes, it's just that...
285
00:18:05,970 --> 00:18:09,167
No, it's just that nothing, Irv.
Please, let me finish. They record...
286
00:18:09,374 --> 00:18:12,810
I read an interview where Lanny wasgiven credit for insisting his butler...
287
00:18:13,011 --> 00:18:16,879
... travel in the same class and stayat the same hotels as his boss.
288
00:18:17,482 --> 00:18:20,883
The valet's attentivenesswas impressive.
289
00:18:21,853 --> 00:18:25,186
Looks like you'll be having
dinner with Lanny Morris.
290
00:18:28,259 --> 00:18:30,989
- Hello.
- Hi.
291
00:18:41,306 --> 00:18:44,104
We should get a waiter to slide
a matchbook under the airplane.
292
00:18:45,276 --> 00:18:46,834
There we go.
293
00:18:47,045 --> 00:18:48,740
That should hold.
294
00:18:50,281 --> 00:18:51,475
This is my friend Reuben.
295
00:18:51,683 --> 00:18:52,911
- Hi.
- Hi.
296
00:18:53,117 --> 00:18:55,677
And this is also my friend,
technically speaking...
297
00:18:55,887 --> 00:18:57,855
...and business manager, Irv.
- Hi.
298
00:19:00,058 --> 00:19:01,355
My name is Lanny.
299
00:19:06,097 --> 00:19:07,655
And what's your name?
300
00:19:09,133 --> 00:19:11,294
Bonnie. Bonnie Trout.
301
00:19:11,503 --> 00:19:12,834
What do you do, Bonnie?
302
00:19:13,137 --> 00:19:14,604
I teach.
303
00:19:14,806 --> 00:19:16,433
And what do you teach?
304
00:19:16,641 --> 00:19:18,871
- Second grade.
- Well, we have a lot in common.
305
00:19:19,077 --> 00:19:21,568
You teach second grade,
I went to second grade.
306
00:19:21,779 --> 00:19:24,942
- Irv, you went to second grade too?
- Many times.
307
00:19:25,149 --> 00:19:26,616
Tell me, Miss Trout...
308
00:19:26,818 --> 00:19:28,251
I don't mean to be impolite...
309
00:19:28,453 --> 00:19:30,011
...but I was wondering...
310
00:19:30,221 --> 00:19:33,782
...how a second-grade schoolteacher
affords to fly first class.
311
00:19:35,927 --> 00:19:38,122
Well, I have a pass...
312
00:19:38,329 --> 00:19:41,787
...that allows me free use
of the subway on weekends...
313
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,163
...and the hot lunches
at school are only 50 cents.
314
00:19:46,571 --> 00:19:49,005
And I'm the mistress...
315
00:19:49,207 --> 00:19:50,674
...of a wealthy married man...
316
00:19:50,875 --> 00:19:53,503
...and when he and his wife
go on vacation, he treats me...
317
00:19:53,711 --> 00:19:56,874
...to a first-class trip
in the opposite direction.
318
00:19:57,715 --> 00:20:02,152
But look at me, talking only about
myself. What do you do for a living?
319
00:20:03,521 --> 00:20:06,012
I'm a French impressionist
painter out of Tahiti, mainly.
320
00:20:06,224 --> 00:20:08,658
I'm doing that to pay the bills.
My ambition is to be...
321
00:20:08,860 --> 00:20:10,919
...a stockbroker in Paris.
322
00:20:11,229 --> 00:20:12,856
- I don't get it.
- Paul Gauguin.
323
00:20:13,064 --> 00:20:15,032
He gave up being
a successful stockbroker...
324
00:20:15,233 --> 00:20:17,667
...to become a painter
in the South Seas.
325
00:20:18,670 --> 00:20:20,535
You think the average
person knows that?
326
00:20:20,738 --> 00:20:24,105
Well, we're not talking about
the average person, Irv.
327
00:20:27,245 --> 00:20:28,712
In some ways...
328
00:20:28,913 --> 00:20:32,110
... he had never stoppedbeing a hero to me.
329
00:20:32,951 --> 00:20:37,081
That's why it was impossibleto think he might also be a killer.
330
00:20:43,795 --> 00:20:45,353
Well, this has been great.
331
00:20:45,563 --> 00:20:47,690
I'm gonna see you
inside your apartment.
332
00:20:47,899 --> 00:20:50,367
- There's really no need.
- Don't be silly.
333
00:20:50,568 --> 00:20:52,399
I'm not gonna try to come in.
334
00:20:52,603 --> 00:20:54,127
Promise.
335
00:20:54,906 --> 00:20:57,500
You've been away from your
apartment for how long now?
336
00:20:57,709 --> 00:20:59,370
- Ages.
- You never know if somebody's...
337
00:20:59,577 --> 00:21:01,169
...broken in while you were gone.
338
00:21:01,379 --> 00:21:04,041
I'll just see you inside your door.
339
00:21:04,749 --> 00:21:07,616
Believe me, I'm...
I'm not trying to seduce you.
340
00:21:07,819 --> 00:21:09,787
I have to do the Today show
at 7 a.m.
341
00:21:09,988 --> 00:21:12,388
They want me in Makeup at 6:15.
342
00:21:12,590 --> 00:21:14,854
Bonnie had moved to New Yorkfor the teaching job...
343
00:21:15,059 --> 00:21:17,027
... a little over a year ago.
344
00:21:17,228 --> 00:21:21,255
I had never visited her and hadno idea if this was the right place.
345
00:21:22,533 --> 00:21:23,966
Which floor?
346
00:21:24,569 --> 00:21:26,434
Why...
347
00:21:27,572 --> 00:21:28,800
- Four-D.
- Forty?
348
00:21:29,340 --> 00:21:31,205
It only goes up to six.
349
00:21:33,711 --> 00:21:35,269
Four-D...
350
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,710
Four-D, the fourth floor.
351
00:22:00,705 --> 00:22:02,036
Which way?
352
00:22:03,041 --> 00:22:04,838
- Guess.
- Why?
353
00:22:05,043 --> 00:22:06,305
It's a test.
354
00:22:06,511 --> 00:22:08,035
A test?
355
00:22:09,814 --> 00:22:11,406
Okay.
356
00:22:11,616 --> 00:22:13,015
This way.
357
00:22:16,654 --> 00:22:18,884
So why didn't we take this elevator?
358
00:22:19,090 --> 00:22:20,717
Doesn't work.
359
00:22:23,961 --> 00:22:25,394
Well...
360
00:22:26,264 --> 00:22:27,629
...good night.
361
00:22:27,832 --> 00:22:29,800
No, I'm going to see you
into your apartment.
362
00:22:30,001 --> 00:22:32,526
And then I'm gonna leave you
alone until tomorrow.
363
00:22:49,887 --> 00:22:52,651
I never get which key goes in
which lock the first time.
364
00:22:55,193 --> 00:22:57,491
Hey, looks like they fixed it.
365
00:23:08,873 --> 00:23:10,340
You okay?
366
00:23:10,541 --> 00:23:12,941
Maybe we should turn on a light.
367
00:23:26,691 --> 00:23:28,022
Well...
368
00:23:29,193 --> 00:23:30,751
I'm going to leave you now.
369
00:23:30,962 --> 00:23:34,295
I have Reuben and Irv waiting
in the limousine downstairs...
370
00:23:34,732 --> 00:23:37,701
...and I should get some sleep
for the Today show.
371
00:23:39,937 --> 00:23:41,370
So...
372
00:23:46,144 --> 00:23:48,374
It was lovely to meet you, Bonnie.
373
00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:10,097
By the end of the telethon,we had no voices.
374
00:24:10,301 --> 00:24:13,896
Thirty-nine hoursof nonstop entertainment.
375
00:24:14,105 --> 00:24:16,938
A telethon was a superhuman feat.
376
00:24:17,141 --> 00:24:20,599
We weren't just heroes,we were gods.
377
00:24:23,414 --> 00:24:26,212
A couple of the boys were thereto make sure we got out alive...
378
00:24:26,417 --> 00:24:28,749
... to make the flight to New York.
379
00:24:32,623 --> 00:24:35,558
Everyone. Listen. Listen.
380
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,853
Gentlemen. Gentlemen, please.
381
00:24:38,262 --> 00:24:41,288
Gentlemen, if I could just
have your attention.
382
00:24:41,666 --> 00:24:43,497
Everyone, Mr. Collins
and Mr. Morris...
383
00:24:43,701 --> 00:24:45,965
...will answer questions
at the press conference...
384
00:24:46,170 --> 00:24:47,865
...at the Palace Del Sol.
385
00:24:48,072 --> 00:24:50,040
Gentlemen, there will be
plenty of time...
386
00:24:50,241 --> 00:24:53,699
...to answer your questions
at the Palace Del Sol.
387
00:24:53,911 --> 00:24:56,971
Thank you, we will answer your
questions at the press conference.
388
00:24:57,181 --> 00:24:59,149
Thank you for coming.
389
00:25:05,156 --> 00:25:08,148
We had a full police escort, alongwith bodyguards who were there...
390
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,260
... to protect us from any thoughtswe might have of going AWOI...
391
00:25:11,462 --> 00:25:13,225
... prior to this press conference.
392
00:25:13,431 --> 00:25:16,559
A pair of New Jersey's finestwalked on either side of us...
393
00:25:16,767 --> 00:25:19,327
... as we enteredthe lobby of the hotel.
394
00:25:19,537 --> 00:25:22,267
It was an indication of howlegitimate the Mob had gone...
395
00:25:22,473 --> 00:25:24,668
... that they couldbring in the local police...
396
00:25:24,876 --> 00:25:27,344
... to guard the fa�ade of their racket.
397
00:25:27,912 --> 00:25:32,042
The local chief was a mannamed Jack Scaglia.
398
00:25:32,250 --> 00:25:35,151
And of course, the two
gentlemen on my right...
399
00:25:35,353 --> 00:25:38,652
...who need no introduction,
have come here directly...
400
00:25:38,856 --> 00:25:42,519
...from their record-breaking
polio telethon in Miami, Florida.
401
00:25:43,594 --> 00:25:47,052
So the first thing I'd like to announce
is that Mr. Sanmarco...
402
00:25:47,531 --> 00:25:48,793
I wish I could tell you...
403
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,560
... that Sally Sanmarcowas a slim, 6-foot-6 guy...
404
00:25:51,769 --> 00:25:54,761
... who looked like a princeand spoke with an English accent.
405
00:25:54,972 --> 00:25:57,338
Then I wouldn't befalling back on the stereotype.
406
00:25:57,642 --> 00:26:01,203
The trouble was, Sally wasstraight out of central casting.
407
00:26:02,046 --> 00:26:04,071
A gangsterwho looked and talked...
408
00:26:04,282 --> 00:26:06,910
... just like you would expectfrom the movies.
409
00:26:07,118 --> 00:26:09,712
How did it feel to raise
all that money for polio?
410
00:26:10,254 --> 00:26:12,449
It felt great. It felt really great.
411
00:26:12,657 --> 00:26:15,524
From a publicity angle, and interms of giving him legitimacy...
412
00:26:15,726 --> 00:26:17,956
... this was a huge coup for Sally.
413
00:26:18,162 --> 00:26:20,630
Like I said, we were gods.
414
00:26:21,933 --> 00:26:25,528
We'd only been in the New York areafor an hour or so, during which time...
415
00:26:25,736 --> 00:26:28,500
... we were constantly watchedby police and reporters...
416
00:26:28,706 --> 00:26:31,436
... which ended up beinga good thing for us.
417
00:26:31,642 --> 00:26:34,076
We got you our best bridal suite.
418
00:26:34,578 --> 00:26:36,569
Fucking nice, huh?
419
00:26:37,715 --> 00:26:40,411
People talk about having fancy
apartments and hotel rooms...
420
00:26:40,618 --> 00:26:42,711
...on the West Side of Manhattan.
What do they see?
421
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,083
Fucking New Jersey.
Here, you see New York City.
422
00:26:53,331 --> 00:26:55,765
Unfortunately,Vince and I were acquainted...
423
00:26:55,966 --> 00:27:00,266
... with the dead girl in the bathroomof our hotel suite in New Jersey.
424
00:27:00,805 --> 00:27:04,036
Her last name was O'Flaherty.
425
00:27:04,475 --> 00:27:07,603
Her first name was Maureen.
426
00:27:07,845 --> 00:27:11,508
Karen, we decided to tradeapartments, not identities.
427
00:27:11,716 --> 00:27:13,240
Why didn't you make up a name?
428
00:27:13,451 --> 00:27:15,976
Bonnie, I was looking
at a five-hour flight.
429
00:27:16,187 --> 00:27:19,315
I didn't wanna make up a life story
that wasn't attached to anything.
430
00:27:19,523 --> 00:27:23,015
Well, I returned the offense.
I got to pretend I was you.
431
00:27:23,227 --> 00:27:24,785
- What?
- You received a package.
432
00:27:24,995 --> 00:27:27,293
Messenger service.
I signed your name.
433
00:27:27,498 --> 00:27:30,126
- Who's it from?
- No address. Want me to open it?
434
00:27:30,334 --> 00:27:31,858
- Sure.
- That's good. I already did.
435
00:27:32,069 --> 00:27:33,331
It's a manuscript.
436
00:27:33,537 --> 00:27:35,971
"Excerpt From the Memoirs of...
437
00:27:36,173 --> 00:27:37,936
...Lanny Morris."
438
00:27:38,142 --> 00:27:42,135
Hey, all your dreams are coming true.
He's writing you love letters already.
439
00:27:42,346 --> 00:27:44,314
Bonnie, I need
to know what he's written.
440
00:27:44,515 --> 00:27:48,474
- Well, I'll send it to you.
- Now. Before he calls me tomorrow.
441
00:27:50,721 --> 00:27:53,656
- Please?
- All right.
442
00:27:55,059 --> 00:27:56,890
All right.
443
00:27:57,094 --> 00:27:58,527
Here we go.
444
00:28:00,898 --> 00:28:04,834
"Let me explain to you why two
very famous guys just finishing...
445
00:28:05,035 --> 00:28:09,165
...a nationally broadcast telethon
ended up in New Jersey."
446
00:28:13,811 --> 00:28:19,010
For years, the Palace Del Sol wasone of the centers of Mob prosperity.
447
00:28:19,216 --> 00:28:22,208
Needless to say, a majorheadliner in the showroom...
448
00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:25,583
... helped legitimizethe entire operation.
449
00:28:25,790 --> 00:28:27,519
Give her a kiss. Yeah, beautiful.
450
00:28:27,725 --> 00:28:30,751
One more, guys. That's it.
That's great. Thank you.
451
00:28:30,961 --> 00:28:33,395
Vince and I needed helpin keeping us up all the time...
452
00:28:33,597 --> 00:28:35,792
... and in the way of thinkingin the '50s...
453
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,230
... anything you didn't takewith a needle was okay.
454
00:28:38,436 --> 00:28:42,099
It wasn't "serious" serious.It was like running a red light.
455
00:28:42,306 --> 00:28:47,175
Everyone used bennies. Vince addedthem to his morning coffee like sugar.
456
00:28:52,149 --> 00:28:54,208
Not that you could tell.
457
00:28:56,020 --> 00:28:58,011
When we did finallydecide to flatten out...
458
00:28:58,222 --> 00:29:02,181
... we'd take two or three Tuinals,or three or four "Threeinals."
459
00:29:02,393 --> 00:29:03,690
They were really good.
460
00:29:03,894 --> 00:29:06,192
Between the moment you took themand passing out...
461
00:29:06,397 --> 00:29:09,560
... it felt really sexy.
462
00:29:45,136 --> 00:29:46,330
Sure.
463
00:29:46,537 --> 00:29:48,664
- Enjoyed the show.
- Thank you.
464
00:29:53,511 --> 00:29:55,035
The walls of the Blue Grotto...
465
00:29:55,246 --> 00:29:57,908
... were made of a mixtureof plaster and Styrofoam.
466
00:29:58,115 --> 00:30:00,982
Flammable as all hell. But the boyshad learned it was cheaper...
467
00:30:01,185 --> 00:30:04,643
... to give the inspector 200 bucksand a ringside table to our show...
468
00:30:04,855 --> 00:30:08,086
... than to spend thousandsof dollars on fireproofing.
469
00:30:08,292 --> 00:30:11,523
Besides, it was always vital ina business enterprise of this sort...
470
00:30:11,729 --> 00:30:15,426
... to have the option to torch the placeat a moment's notice...
471
00:30:15,633 --> 00:30:17,999
... should the need present itself.
472
00:30:20,137 --> 00:30:23,197
One night, after our show,we were taken to Sally's office.
473
00:30:23,407 --> 00:30:24,965
We wonderedwhat we had done wrong...
474
00:30:25,176 --> 00:30:26,803
... but what we had donewas done good.
475
00:30:27,011 --> 00:30:29,275
Sally started going on abouthow much he liked us...
476
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,244
... how he thought we werea good fit with his crowd...
477
00:30:32,449 --> 00:30:35,179
... meaning that we brought inan audience of heavy drinkers...
478
00:30:35,386 --> 00:30:37,251
... adulterers and gamblers.
479
00:30:37,454 --> 00:30:39,945
So, what we want is for you boys
to come back here...
480
00:30:40,157 --> 00:30:42,955
...three months from now
and open our new showroom for us.
481
00:30:43,594 --> 00:30:46,927
A two-week,
exclusive limited engagement...
482
00:30:47,131 --> 00:30:50,032
...that we want you to do for us
for six weeks.
483
00:30:50,501 --> 00:30:53,163
God help you when a killertakes a shining to you.
484
00:30:53,370 --> 00:30:58,307
I looked at Vince and scratched mynose, which meant our strongest "no."
485
00:30:58,509 --> 00:31:00,238
That's a very great honor, Sally.
486
00:31:00,444 --> 00:31:02,912
- You're damn fucking right it is.
- The thing is...
487
00:31:03,113 --> 00:31:06,173
...we're just trying to cut down on
the nightclub work at the moment.
488
00:31:06,383 --> 00:31:08,977
We turned down the Sands
so we could do a TV special...
489
00:31:09,186 --> 00:31:13,213
...and the only reason we still work the
Versailles is out of friendship for you.
490
00:31:17,328 --> 00:31:20,263
- What dates were you thinking of?
- We open November 15th.
491
00:31:20,464 --> 00:31:23,092
Sally, any other day
we would be here in a flash...
492
00:31:23,300 --> 00:31:26,326
...but, you know, that's the day
right after the next polio telethon.
493
00:31:26,537 --> 00:31:29,597
I mean, we always take two weeks off
right after that to recover.
494
00:31:29,807 --> 00:31:31,001
- Right, Vince?
- At least.
495
00:31:31,208 --> 00:31:33,301
- I mean, we're tired.
- That's the way I want you.
496
00:31:33,510 --> 00:31:37,139
After the fucking telethon,
we fly you up from Miami...
497
00:31:37,348 --> 00:31:40,044
...hold a press conference,
all fucking exhausted...
498
00:31:40,251 --> 00:31:42,242
...so people know
what heroes you are.
499
00:31:43,287 --> 00:31:45,755
I'll keep a suite for you
with the best hookers I got.
500
00:31:45,956 --> 00:31:48,049
Your own personal cathouse.
501
00:31:48,259 --> 00:31:49,726
And I'll have them send you up...
502
00:31:49,927 --> 00:31:51,861
...a shipment of lobsters
and stone crabs.
503
00:31:52,062 --> 00:31:54,496
- You like lobsters?
- Love them.
504
00:31:54,698 --> 00:31:56,393
And a case of these...
505
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,228
...special grapefruits...
506
00:31:59,436 --> 00:32:02,269
...that I get special down there.
507
00:32:02,706 --> 00:32:05,607
The most delicious thing
you ever tasted in your life.
508
00:32:05,809 --> 00:32:08,073
Juicy, thin skin.
509
00:32:08,979 --> 00:32:12,642
Months later, on the nightbefore the telethon in Miami...
510
00:32:12,850 --> 00:32:15,216
... we got back to our roomand found that Sally...
511
00:32:15,419 --> 00:32:18,616
... had been more than goodto his word.
512
00:32:20,424 --> 00:32:23,120
Laid out around the roomwere various crates...
513
00:32:23,327 --> 00:32:25,818
... bearing the addressesof their destination:
514
00:32:26,030 --> 00:32:29,397
Our suite at the Palace Del Solhotel in New Jersey.
515
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:34,594
"You like lobsters?
See you in New Jersey."
516
00:32:35,539 --> 00:32:38,838
"Thin skin, fucking most delicious
fucking thing...
517
00:32:39,043 --> 00:32:40,704
...you ever had in your fucking life."
518
00:32:40,911 --> 00:32:43,709
"What I thought was a box
of beach balls turned out to be...
519
00:32:43,914 --> 00:32:46,178
...the thinnest-skinned,
dripping-wet grapefruits...
520
00:32:46,383 --> 00:32:47,975
...I�d ever tasted in my life.
521
00:32:48,185 --> 00:32:50,779
The 6-foot crate was filled
with fruits of the sea...
522
00:32:50,988 --> 00:32:53,821
...slowly shifting over a bed of ice."
523
00:32:54,024 --> 00:32:57,619
Yeah, this is Lanny Morris.
Send up three steaks, all right?
524
00:32:57,828 --> 00:32:59,159
Yeah. Make them rare this time.
525
00:32:59,363 --> 00:33:00,694
- Yeah, rare.
- Like bloody.
526
00:33:00,898 --> 00:33:04,163
Bloody. And a couple of bottles
of that champagne.
527
00:33:04,368 --> 00:33:06,336
- Make that three.
- Three bottles of champagne.
528
00:33:06,537 --> 00:33:09,938
And can you make sure
that Maureen delivers them?
529
00:33:10,140 --> 00:33:11,767
Yeah, Maureen.
530
00:33:12,276 --> 00:33:13,766
We called down for Maureen...
531
00:33:13,977 --> 00:33:15,808
... the room-service girlI'd met earlier...
532
00:33:16,013 --> 00:33:18,504
... who wanted the interviewfor her school paper.
533
00:33:18,716 --> 00:33:21,310
She brought up three steaks,one for her...
534
00:33:21,518 --> 00:33:24,351
... as her last official deliveryof the day.
535
00:33:24,555 --> 00:33:26,113
As much as I love lobster...
536
00:33:26,323 --> 00:33:29,383
... seeing all that shellfishnestled on ice in the crate...
537
00:33:29,593 --> 00:33:33,552
... put me in the moodfor hooves, not claws.
538
00:33:51,181 --> 00:33:56,016
The interview for Maureen's campuspaper went better than expected.
539
00:33:56,220 --> 00:33:58,450
Vince and I popped some Tuinals...
540
00:33:58,655 --> 00:34:00,953
... to insure thatwe would sleep like babes...
541
00:34:01,158 --> 00:34:06,027
... after we wore off the generalhorniness that the pills first give you.
542
00:34:06,964 --> 00:34:12,095
Vince bought insurance on his betby having a few babes on hand.
543
00:34:12,302 --> 00:34:15,465
Well, not exactly on his hand.
544
00:34:15,672 --> 00:34:17,037
That wasn't his preference.
545
00:34:17,241 --> 00:34:20,642
"Not exactly on his hand.
That wasn't his preference."
546
00:34:20,844 --> 00:34:25,975
"Not exactly on his hand"?
"That wasn't his preference"?
547
00:34:27,017 --> 00:34:29,611
"The Tuinals, coupled with
a nice amount of booze...
548
00:34:29,820 --> 00:34:32,345
...guaranteed us
the sleep of the dead.
549
00:34:32,556 --> 00:34:35,024
Late the next morning,
Maureen was sent packing...
550
00:34:35,225 --> 00:34:41,164
...and Vince and I prepared ourselves
for that night's broadcast."
551
00:34:42,266 --> 00:34:45,724
Well, I guess this is one story my kids
won't have to give a book report on.
552
00:34:49,039 --> 00:34:50,370
Thanks.
553
00:34:50,574 --> 00:34:51,768
Must be weird to find out...
554
00:34:51,975 --> 00:34:55,706
...that the object of all your
adolescent fantasies is a pig.
555
00:34:57,047 --> 00:34:59,743
He's not like that.
556
00:34:59,950 --> 00:35:03,613
Oh, so it's just the way
he describes himself.
557
00:35:04,455 --> 00:35:06,218
She was right.
558
00:35:06,423 --> 00:35:08,948
Which was the real Lanny?
559
00:35:09,493 --> 00:35:12,553
I'd find out later that the storyof the hookers in the hotel suite...
560
00:35:12,763 --> 00:35:15,231
... was a complete fabrication.
561
00:35:15,432 --> 00:35:18,162
That night, Maureen was alone.
562
00:35:46,129 --> 00:35:48,620
- Hello?
- So how did you like the show?
563
00:35:48,832 --> 00:35:50,356
Lanny?
564
00:35:52,402 --> 00:35:54,199
The Today show.
565
00:35:54,404 --> 00:35:55,769
You did watch, didn't you?
566
00:35:56,573 --> 00:35:59,007
- The show.
- You didn't watch.
567
00:35:59,209 --> 00:36:01,370
Wow, that's scary.
568
00:36:03,413 --> 00:36:06,143
You see, when you're a star...
569
00:36:06,350 --> 00:36:09,376
...you live in terror,
wondering if it's all over yet.
570
00:36:09,586 --> 00:36:11,417
You keep looking for the signs.
571
00:36:11,622 --> 00:36:14,682
You're shooting a scene from a movie
on a New York street...
572
00:36:14,892 --> 00:36:16,086
...and a crowd doesn't form.
573
00:36:16,293 --> 00:36:18,090
You meet a girl on a plane
and tell her...
574
00:36:18,295 --> 00:36:20,957
...that you're gonna be on the
Today show the next morning...
575
00:36:21,164 --> 00:36:23,928
...and she doesn't
wake up early to watch.
576
00:36:24,134 --> 00:36:25,897
It's very scary.
577
00:36:26,336 --> 00:36:29,737
Hey, you know,
I mentioned you on the air.
578
00:36:30,908 --> 00:36:33,809
- You did?
- Yes, I proposed to you on the air.
579
00:36:34,011 --> 00:36:36,878
Your building is probably
surrounded with photographers...
580
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,776
- ... at this very moment.
- You're kidding.
581
00:36:39,983 --> 00:36:42,884
Yes, I'm kidding.
582
00:36:45,322 --> 00:36:46,812
So...
583
00:36:47,391 --> 00:36:49,188
...what time would you like to meet?
584
00:37:13,383 --> 00:37:16,216
Stanley, this is Bonnie.
Bonnie, Stanley.
585
00:37:16,420 --> 00:37:17,910
Nice to meet you.
586
00:37:18,121 --> 00:37:19,486
Is the food almost ready, Stan?
587
00:37:19,690 --> 00:37:22,591
Yeah. I'll bring it right out,
Mr. Lanny.
588
00:37:23,060 --> 00:37:26,689
I was very hungry, so I asked Stanley
to prepare us something special.
589
00:37:26,897 --> 00:37:28,888
That sounds great.
590
00:37:30,801 --> 00:37:32,291
Tell me, what kind of a meeting...
591
00:37:32,502 --> 00:37:35,369
...does a schoolteacher have to go to
during the summer vacation?
592
00:37:35,572 --> 00:37:38,666
I'm exploring the possibility
of another job.
593
00:37:38,875 --> 00:37:42,504
- Something in publishing.
- How did it go?
594
00:37:42,713 --> 00:37:44,180
Okay.
595
00:37:44,681 --> 00:37:47,309
Have you ever thought
about writing a book?
596
00:37:47,985 --> 00:37:51,045
- About what?
- Your life.
597
00:37:51,254 --> 00:37:53,051
Sure. When I'm dead.
598
00:37:53,757 --> 00:37:55,088
No, seriously.
599
00:37:55,292 --> 00:37:57,419
It would have to be published
after I died...
600
00:37:57,627 --> 00:38:00,528
...when I wouldn't care what
anybody thought about me.
601
00:38:00,964 --> 00:38:05,401
So, what would you write about,
if you were going to tell the truth?
602
00:38:05,602 --> 00:38:07,297
In my book?
603
00:38:07,671 --> 00:38:11,129
Well, the truth is,
I've met four presidents.
604
00:38:11,341 --> 00:38:13,104
They all seemed like
they were out of it.
605
00:38:13,310 --> 00:38:15,244
Like they had no idea
what was going on.
606
00:38:15,445 --> 00:38:18,744
Even J.F.K. Left me unimpressed.
I felt like I was with the boss' son.
607
00:38:18,949 --> 00:38:20,507
You don't think you could say that?
608
00:38:20,717 --> 00:38:23,777
Not if I was planning
on living in this country. No, no.
609
00:38:23,987 --> 00:38:26,922
I don't think that Judy Garland
was such a great singer...
610
00:38:27,124 --> 00:38:28,523
...after she turned 16.
611
00:38:28,725 --> 00:38:32,092
That quiver, you know,
it was like she had no control over it.
612
00:38:32,295 --> 00:38:34,263
I would get killed for saying that.
613
00:38:34,464 --> 00:38:37,729
Or that Marilyn Monroe
was no better an actress...
614
00:38:37,934 --> 00:38:41,426
...after she studied with
Lee Strasberg than before.
615
00:38:44,207 --> 00:38:46,573
I'm saying what really happened.
616
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,539
Having to be a nice guy...
617
00:38:52,749 --> 00:38:55,047
...is the toughest job in the world
when you're not.
618
00:39:01,825 --> 00:39:04,316
This is a lamb in tea sauce.
619
00:39:04,528 --> 00:39:07,326
This is twice-cooked pork
with shredded, pickled cabbage.
620
00:39:08,265 --> 00:39:10,199
Kung Pao chicken.
621
00:39:10,767 --> 00:39:12,962
And this is Kung Ping Loh Haa...
622
00:39:13,170 --> 00:39:17,766
...lobster in tangerine peel
for you and your lovely lady friend.
623
00:39:18,175 --> 00:39:20,143
You shouldn't have
done that, Stanley.
624
00:39:20,343 --> 00:39:23,244
I don't eat lobster. I'm Jewish.
625
00:39:23,447 --> 00:39:24,675
But you eat pork.
626
00:39:25,015 --> 00:39:27,506
- Do you have a problem with that?
- No, I just thought...
627
00:39:27,717 --> 00:39:31,585
No shrimp, no lobster.
They're disgusting. Take it away.
628
00:39:31,788 --> 00:39:34,484
I will pay for the dish,
but take it away, please.
629
00:39:34,925 --> 00:39:36,586
I'll change it.
630
00:39:38,261 --> 00:39:40,058
I'm sorry, I...
631
00:39:40,263 --> 00:39:42,595
I should have asked.
Maybe you love lobster.
632
00:39:42,799 --> 00:39:44,528
I'm fine.
633
00:39:45,735 --> 00:39:47,930
Have you ever had
Szechwan cuisine before?
634
00:39:48,138 --> 00:39:50,663
It's from the northern part of China.
635
00:39:50,874 --> 00:39:53,240
It must be strange for you.
636
00:39:53,677 --> 00:39:59,013
If you complain to a waiter,
you're not just some jerk at table five...
637
00:39:59,216 --> 00:40:00,410
...you're Lanny Morris.
638
00:40:01,084 --> 00:40:04,076
I know that everyone
dreams about being famous...
639
00:40:04,287 --> 00:40:06,050
...but it would be interesting
to know...
640
00:40:06,256 --> 00:40:08,224
...what it's like
to relinquish all anonymity.
641
00:40:12,963 --> 00:40:16,558
- Gets me a date.
- Does that bother you?
642
00:40:16,766 --> 00:40:19,599
That people only wanna be with you
because of who you are?
643
00:40:19,803 --> 00:40:22,897
- As opposed to?
- Well...
644
00:40:23,106 --> 00:40:24,971
...the real you.
645
00:40:26,409 --> 00:40:28,070
The real me.
646
00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:35,311
The real me was brought up
as a nice middle-class kid...
647
00:40:35,519 --> 00:40:37,146
...which is not the easiest thing...
648
00:40:37,354 --> 00:40:40,790
...when you are extremely poor
and living in a slum.
649
00:40:41,391 --> 00:40:46,226
The real me spent most of his time
getting the shit kicked out of him...
650
00:40:46,429 --> 00:40:48,954
...and dreaming about
something better.
651
00:40:51,201 --> 00:40:53,567
Like being here
with someone like you.
652
00:40:54,838 --> 00:40:58,865
Fifteen years ago, he had,for one brief moment...
653
00:40:59,075 --> 00:41:01,942
... made me feel likethe most special person in the world.
654
00:41:02,145 --> 00:41:06,548
"The miracle in my life
is not that I survived polio...
655
00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:08,650
...and am standing here today.
656
00:41:08,852 --> 00:41:12,879
No. The reason I consider myself
to be a miracle girl...
657
00:41:13,089 --> 00:41:14,750
...is because I had
the good fortune...
658
00:41:14,958 --> 00:41:17,085
...to meet Lanny and Vince
when I was sick."
659
00:41:17,761 --> 00:41:21,356
It was a momentseen by millions of people...
660
00:41:21,565 --> 00:41:25,228
... but felt only by me.
661
00:41:29,339 --> 00:41:33,173
That moment had changed my life.
662
00:41:36,446 --> 00:41:40,314
I was about to find my own wayinto Lanny's book...
663
00:41:40,951 --> 00:41:45,217
... after he had foundsuch a powerful way into mine.
664
00:42:59,663 --> 00:43:01,062
Checking out today?
665
00:43:18,381 --> 00:43:20,110
Is there a message
for Bonnie Trout?
666
00:43:20,317 --> 00:43:22,717
- From one of our guests?
- Yes, Lanny Morris.
667
00:43:25,989 --> 00:43:27,217
I'm afraid not.
668
00:43:27,490 --> 00:43:31,586
- Are you sure?
- Oh, yes, I'm sure.
669
00:43:35,565 --> 00:43:36,930
Do you need a cab?
670
00:43:42,372 --> 00:43:46,035
I still don't understand
why Vince Collins is willing...
671
00:43:46,242 --> 00:43:49,700
...to be involved in such
an expos� of himself.
672
00:43:49,913 --> 00:43:51,710
Vince is a realist.
673
00:43:51,915 --> 00:43:54,611
The days of his box-office
power are drawing to a close.
674
00:43:55,018 --> 00:43:56,815
Given the amount of money
we're offering...
675
00:43:57,020 --> 00:44:00,649
And it's because the investment
in Mr. Collins is so large...
676
00:44:00,857 --> 00:44:06,796
...I�ve compiled a list of questions
we'd like the miracle girl to ask.
677
00:44:13,870 --> 00:44:17,362
I don't wanna look at your questions.
I have my own approach.
678
00:44:17,574 --> 00:44:20,634
Ms. O'Connor, we're not paying
a million dollars for your approach...
679
00:44:20,844 --> 00:44:23,005
...we're paying for what
Vince Collins has to say.
680
00:44:23,213 --> 00:44:26,376
To me. What he has to say to me.
681
00:44:27,217 --> 00:44:29,981
Greg, this is not as easy as it looks.
682
00:44:30,553 --> 00:44:33,317
If you go to Vince Collins
and ask him a series of questions...
683
00:44:33,523 --> 00:44:35,787
...you'll come back here
with a 300-page press book.
684
00:44:35,992 --> 00:44:39,086
Well, as I've always understood
this company's policy...
685
00:44:39,295 --> 00:44:41,320
...while the book is being written...
686
00:44:41,531 --> 00:44:45,968
...the relationship between the author
and editor is sacrosanct.
687
00:44:47,036 --> 00:44:49,129
This isn't your typical book deal.
688
00:44:49,539 --> 00:44:53,498
We've really just leased
an oil well called Vince Collins...
689
00:44:53,710 --> 00:44:57,043
...and granted Ms. O'Connor
the right to tap.
690
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,738
I think we have a responsibility to...
691
00:45:01,217 --> 00:45:03,515
...monitor the drilling.
692
00:45:26,743 --> 00:45:29,234
- Hello.
- Mrs. O'Flaherty?
693
00:45:29,846 --> 00:45:31,336
Yes.
694
00:45:31,581 --> 00:45:35,210
My name's O'Connor.
I'm the one writing the book.
695
00:45:48,331 --> 00:45:51,528
The book will be
centered around Vince Collins.
696
00:45:51,734 --> 00:45:54,567
I'll be asking him a lot of questions.
697
00:45:54,771 --> 00:45:59,799
I wanted to know if there were any
you'd like to have answered yourself.
698
00:46:03,713 --> 00:46:08,241
Maureen and I planted this tree
on her fifth birthday.
699
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,155
Father did most of the digging,
of course.
700
00:46:14,224 --> 00:46:16,385
She'd be 38.
701
00:46:17,260 --> 00:46:20,286
I'm 59 myself.
702
00:46:22,599 --> 00:46:25,159
If she were alive now...
703
00:46:26,569 --> 00:46:30,130
...we'd be talking about things,
back and forth...
704
00:46:30,340 --> 00:46:32,137
...like two women.
705
00:46:32,809 --> 00:46:35,141
Like you and I are doing.
706
00:46:40,783 --> 00:46:42,978
And Maureen's father?
707
00:46:43,987 --> 00:46:46,512
Frank died six years ago.
708
00:46:47,156 --> 00:46:49,283
He took his own life.
709
00:46:49,893 --> 00:46:52,953
One night, just before he died...
710
00:46:53,163 --> 00:46:56,291
...he dug up the earth
around this tree...
711
00:46:56,799 --> 00:46:59,597
...he took the urn
with Maureen's ashes in it...
712
00:46:59,802 --> 00:47:02,532
...and spread them around its roots.
713
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,206
So this is my daughter.
714
00:47:09,846 --> 00:47:12,440
This is what I have of her.
715
00:47:19,422 --> 00:47:22,152
- Are you Catholic?- My...My mother was.
716
00:47:22,926 --> 00:47:25,451
Then you will understandmy dilemma.
717
00:47:25,662 --> 00:47:29,359
Our faith offers an afterlife.
718
00:47:30,567 --> 00:47:32,899
A daughter needs her mother.
719
00:47:34,003 --> 00:47:39,999
So I have to live out this life
as far from sin as I can manage.
720
00:47:42,946 --> 00:47:45,574
I'll never see my husband again.
721
00:47:46,115 --> 00:47:48,515
He's consigned himself to hell.
722
00:47:50,954 --> 00:47:54,412
But what if Maureenkilled herself too?
723
00:47:58,127 --> 00:48:00,755
She's in hell, with my husband.
724
00:48:00,964 --> 00:48:05,094
The life I'm trying to lead
will bring me to heaven's grace...
725
00:48:06,169 --> 00:48:09,536
...only to hear
their screams of torment.
726
00:48:11,074 --> 00:48:13,304
Chief Scaglia,you were in the hotel room...
727
00:48:13,509 --> 00:48:16,672
... when they foundMaureen's body in the tub.
728
00:48:17,113 --> 00:48:21,015
So was Sally, so was Lanny,
so was Vince.
729
00:48:22,485 --> 00:48:26,649
And there was also
a PR lady there from the hotel.
730
00:48:27,056 --> 00:48:28,614
How do you think she died?
731
00:48:29,292 --> 00:48:32,352
She died in an auto accident
two weeks later. It was terrible.
732
00:48:35,832 --> 00:48:37,026
No, Maureen.
733
00:48:37,233 --> 00:48:39,895
- How did Maureen die?
- She drowned.
734
00:48:40,103 --> 00:48:41,900
- Why?
- What do you mean, why?
735
00:48:42,105 --> 00:48:44,630
You and I take baths all the time.
We don't drown in them.
736
00:48:44,841 --> 00:48:47,867
You and I do not mix
sleeping pills with booze.
737
00:48:48,077 --> 00:48:51,012
- She committed suicide?
- Overdose is the official story.
738
00:48:51,214 --> 00:48:55,048
What's the official story on the fact
that the staff of the hotel in Miami...
739
00:48:55,251 --> 00:48:58,311
... all seemed to know she deliveredroom service to the boys' suite...
740
00:48:58,521 --> 00:49:01,354
...three days before
and was never seen alive again?
741
00:49:01,557 --> 00:49:02,888
What happened to her?
742
00:49:03,092 --> 00:49:05,560
How did she end up
in a hotel room in New Jersey?
743
00:49:05,762 --> 00:49:09,630
Sally never had any problem
moving girls around. Okay?
744
00:49:09,832 --> 00:49:11,026
He had two hotels.
745
00:49:11,234 --> 00:49:13,225
- So Sally arranged it?
- No, I don't think so.
746
00:49:13,436 --> 00:49:16,303
You see, she was brought up there
as a reward for the boys...
747
00:49:16,506 --> 00:49:19,168
...and I think she started
to party just a little too early.
748
00:49:19,375 --> 00:49:21,866
She was a student.
This was a summer job.
749
00:49:22,078 --> 00:49:23,340
Listen to me...
750
00:49:23,780 --> 00:49:29,719
...the Palace Del Sol was very
important to Sally, okay?
751
00:49:29,919 --> 00:49:33,082
He launched his new wing...
752
00:49:33,289 --> 00:49:36,588
...with a push
from Lanny and Vince...
753
00:49:36,793 --> 00:49:42,425
...and this stupid girl
shows up dead.
754
00:49:42,732 --> 00:49:47,260
She's not gonna come back.
We do the best thing for all of us.
755
00:49:47,470 --> 00:49:51,930
We speed up the investigation
and we cremate her. Okay?
756
00:49:52,141 --> 00:49:54,336
End of story.
757
00:49:57,146 --> 00:50:00,741
- Here you are.
- Here's your lobster.
758
00:50:00,950 --> 00:50:03,885
- Enjoy.
- Looks great.
759
00:50:05,321 --> 00:50:09,087
"Sally said, 'I'll have them send you
up your own shipment of lobsters.
760
00:50:09,292 --> 00:50:11,317
You like lobster?"'
761
00:50:11,894 --> 00:50:15,193
We said we didbecause we really did.
762
00:50:15,965 --> 00:50:18,866
You shouldn't have done that,Stanley. I don't eat lobster.
763
00:50:21,804 --> 00:50:24,204
Were there any signs of violenceon her body?
764
00:50:24,407 --> 00:50:28,707
No, no. There were some
small scratches on the torso.
765
00:50:30,613 --> 00:50:35,983
Why did my daughter die?Did she kill herself?
766
00:50:36,886 --> 00:50:40,447
What had they done to herthat would make her do that?
767
00:50:43,059 --> 00:50:45,289
What had they done?
768
00:50:50,233 --> 00:50:52,497
Once upon a time...
769
00:50:52,702 --> 00:50:56,365
... when terrible thingshappened to people...
770
00:50:56,572 --> 00:50:59,132
... they were left as a mystery.
771
00:51:01,310 --> 00:51:04,541
Even the tabloids kept a distance.
772
00:51:09,952 --> 00:51:15,720
Some things were allowedto be left just the way they were.
773
00:51:24,534 --> 00:51:26,365
Any trouble with the directions
I gave you?
774
00:51:26,569 --> 00:51:30,005
- Only the parts where I had to turn.
- Sorry.
775
00:51:30,907 --> 00:51:33,307
It's the price of seclusion.
776
00:51:38,381 --> 00:51:40,372
You haven't switched over
to cassette?
777
00:51:40,583 --> 00:51:44,451
- Actually, it's my dad's.
- And what does he do?
778
00:51:45,822 --> 00:51:47,949
He was a journalist too.
779
00:51:49,025 --> 00:51:51,357
He did a big story on you once.
780
00:51:51,561 --> 00:51:54,223
Followed a little girl who had polio.
781
00:51:54,564 --> 00:51:56,828
You took her under your wing...
782
00:51:57,967 --> 00:52:00,299
...and now she's interviewing you.
783
00:52:03,873 --> 00:52:07,104
He must be proud that his daughter's
making such a name for herself.
784
00:52:07,643 --> 00:52:09,736
I'd like to think so.
785
00:52:10,947 --> 00:52:14,542
- He died last year.
- Sorry to hear that.
786
00:52:16,185 --> 00:52:19,814
- Would you like some coffee?
- Sure.
787
00:52:26,896 --> 00:52:28,761
Are you alone here?
788
00:52:28,965 --> 00:52:32,992
Yes. The thought of having live-in help
is a little poisonous to me.
789
00:52:33,202 --> 00:52:34,601
Why's that?
790
00:52:34,804 --> 00:52:36,704
Well, I'd have to talk to them...
791
00:52:36,906 --> 00:52:39,340
...ask them how
their family was doing...
792
00:52:39,542 --> 00:52:42,170
...hear about this and that,
introduce them to the guests...
793
00:52:42,378 --> 00:52:45,040
...and tell them
how their family was doing.
794
00:52:45,248 --> 00:52:48,945
All so that I would
seem to be a nice guy...
795
00:52:49,151 --> 00:52:50,743
...which is an awful lot of work...
796
00:52:50,953 --> 00:52:53,387
...considering what I cherish
most in life these days...
797
00:52:53,589 --> 00:52:55,648
...is not to have to be Vince Collins.
798
00:52:55,858 --> 00:52:57,291
No Reuben in your life?
799
00:52:58,594 --> 00:53:00,585
How do you know about Reuben?
800
00:53:00,963 --> 00:53:04,490
He was in a lot of the material
I've been looking at.
801
00:53:04,700 --> 00:53:06,167
No, I never had a Reuben.
802
00:53:06,369 --> 00:53:08,735
Lanny always paid him directly.
He was Lanny's man.
803
00:53:08,938 --> 00:53:10,405
Right.
804
00:53:12,808 --> 00:53:14,867
You know, what I like is to...
805
00:53:15,077 --> 00:53:16,669
...read...
806
00:53:17,780 --> 00:53:19,179
...think.
807
00:53:19,382 --> 00:53:21,577
It's to have the freedom...
808
00:53:21,784 --> 00:53:24,275
...to get up and leave
without telling anyone about it...
809
00:53:24,487 --> 00:53:26,387
...any time of day.
810
00:53:28,391 --> 00:53:30,723
Or even having to say goodbye.
811
00:53:32,929 --> 00:53:36,888
To be backstage, surrounded
by acrobats, actors, magicians...
812
00:53:37,099 --> 00:53:38,964
...it was intoxicating.
813
00:53:39,168 --> 00:53:40,999
You know, I was only 12 years old.
814
00:53:41,203 --> 00:53:42,830
That's a...
815
00:53:43,039 --> 00:53:44,563
That's a pretty impressionable age.
816
00:53:44,774 --> 00:53:47,834
- To hear all these stories of touring...
- My father always told me...
817
00:53:48,044 --> 00:53:51,536
... that nothing had meaningunless it could be put on the record.
818
00:53:53,015 --> 00:53:55,040
Yet things had changed.
819
00:53:56,185 --> 00:53:58,278
As Vince had pointed outat our first meeting...
820
00:53:58,487 --> 00:54:02,787
... it had become fashionableto put yourself into the story.
821
00:54:03,459 --> 00:54:06,792
The question becamehow far you were prepared to go.
822
00:54:30,086 --> 00:54:34,420
- Excuse me. That's not mine.
- Oh, I'm sorry.
823
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,555
Aren't you Miss Trout?
824
00:54:39,762 --> 00:54:42,390
We've met,
on the plane to New York.
825
00:54:42,598 --> 00:54:43,792
- Reuben.
- Excuse me, sir.
826
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:46,764
Can I leave you
for just a second, please?
827
00:54:50,539 --> 00:54:53,269
I'm so deeply sorry, Miss Trout,
the way you were treated.
828
00:54:53,476 --> 00:54:57,503
- He could have left a note.
- Of course.
829
00:54:58,781 --> 00:55:02,342
Miss Trout, I would like you
to understand something.
830
00:55:03,185 --> 00:55:07,918
I have a great loyalty to Mr. Morris.
He's treated me very well.
831
00:55:08,124 --> 00:55:09,819
I'm very grateful.
832
00:55:11,227 --> 00:55:14,253
He has done wonderful things
for many people...
833
00:55:14,463 --> 00:55:19,423
...and I have been privileged
to work for him.
834
00:55:21,003 --> 00:55:23,301
But I do have certain principles...
835
00:55:23,506 --> 00:55:27,738
...especially about how women
are to be treated and respected.
836
00:55:28,144 --> 00:55:33,548
Mr. Morris can be very attentive,
but once he has a woman...
837
00:55:34,717 --> 00:55:37,515
Oh, God, I think
it's almost a sickness.
838
00:55:39,522 --> 00:55:41,353
When he left you that morning...
839
00:55:41,557 --> 00:55:44,185
...you may have felt bad,
but believe me, Miss Trout...
840
00:55:44,393 --> 00:55:46,224
...to have him out of your life...
841
00:55:46,429 --> 00:55:49,125
...is the best thing that
could have happened to you.
842
00:55:50,199 --> 00:55:53,862
At that point, you may have felt
your life was wounded.
843
00:55:55,404 --> 00:55:57,235
It wasn't.
844
00:55:58,107 --> 00:55:59,369
It was saved.
845
00:56:08,484 --> 00:56:10,850
Vince, I was very clear about thisfrom the beginning.
846
00:56:11,053 --> 00:56:12,645
I'm not out to play games with you.
847
00:56:12,855 --> 00:56:15,221
This is why you're being paida huge amount of money.
848
00:56:16,225 --> 00:56:18,056
This isn't entirely about money,you know.
849
00:56:18,260 --> 00:56:20,820
A million dollars is more than
the gross of your last film.
850
00:56:22,131 --> 00:56:24,395
I was somehow
under the impression that my life...
851
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,569
...might have been of more than
passing interest.
852
00:56:27,770 --> 00:56:30,762
But if my fleeting encounter with
a girl named Maureen O'Flaherty...
853
00:56:30,973 --> 00:56:33,908
...is all you really want to talk about,
then that's what we'll do.
854
00:56:35,411 --> 00:56:37,709
I have to make an appearance
at the clinic tomorrow.
855
00:56:37,913 --> 00:56:40,040
We can come back
and talk after that.
856
00:56:41,083 --> 00:56:42,812
It's Wonderland.
857
00:56:43,018 --> 00:56:44,610
I imagine you might remember that.
858
00:56:58,801 --> 00:57:02,931
He was right.I did remember Wonderland.
859
00:57:03,806 --> 00:57:05,535
- You ready?
- Ready.
860
00:57:05,741 --> 00:57:11,008
When I was a girl, the entire hospitalwas devoted to children with polio.
861
00:57:12,681 --> 00:57:15,878
Since that time,it had become a clinic for kids...
862
00:57:16,085 --> 00:57:19,316
... with a variety of differentphysical handicaps.
863
00:57:22,925 --> 00:57:26,292
Once a year, the childrenwould put on a pageant...
864
00:57:26,495 --> 00:57:29,828
... playing different charactersfrom Alice in Wonderland.
865
00:57:30,833 --> 00:57:33,267
Vince, in his continuing supportof the hospital...
866
00:57:33,469 --> 00:57:35,960
... had hired a band and a singer.
867
00:57:43,445 --> 00:57:45,140
Who is that?
868
00:57:45,347 --> 00:57:49,181
I don't know.
She's good, whoever she is.
869
00:58:00,629 --> 00:58:03,860
Karen, do you mind if we start
this conversation tomorrow?
870
00:58:04,066 --> 00:58:07,695
I'm just...
I'm not feeling all that well.
871
00:58:08,370 --> 00:58:09,860
- Vince...
- In fact, it won't make...
872
00:58:10,072 --> 00:58:12,336
...any difference over there.
The office is closed.
873
00:58:12,541 --> 00:58:13,735
They've been working late.
874
00:58:13,943 --> 00:58:15,934
Then they've been working
much too hard.
875
00:58:17,279 --> 00:58:19,907
First thing tomorrow. First thing.
876
00:58:26,889 --> 00:58:29,289
I hope your editors were reasonable.
877
00:58:29,491 --> 00:58:32,460
Reasonable? No, they weren't.
878
00:58:32,661 --> 00:58:34,720
We can go as late as you like.
879
00:58:34,930 --> 00:58:36,192
That's good.
880
00:58:36,398 --> 00:58:37,831
It might take us
into the evening.
881
00:58:38,033 --> 00:58:40,001
I had a feeling
that might be the case.
882
00:58:40,502 --> 00:58:43,164
So I've ordered a hot and cold
smorgasbord to be brought in.
883
00:58:43,372 --> 00:58:44,839
We can work through dinner.
884
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,235
- We'll be having company?
- Yes.
885
00:58:48,711 --> 00:58:50,235
I have...
886
00:58:50,446 --> 00:58:52,141
...a surprise for you.
887
00:58:53,082 --> 00:58:55,846
Actually, this is a fairly big deal
for me as well.
888
00:58:57,052 --> 00:58:59,452
I've asked Lanny to join us today.
889
00:59:00,756 --> 00:59:01,780
Lanny?
890
00:59:03,158 --> 00:59:05,285
Well, this is something.
891
00:59:06,161 --> 00:59:09,187
Neuman and Newberry will certainly
be getting their money's worth.
892
00:59:09,765 --> 00:59:12,063
I thought that if I was
going to discuss something...
893
00:59:12,268 --> 00:59:14,065
...that had such an impact
on our lives...
894
00:59:14,270 --> 00:59:16,864
...it would be fair for Lanny
to hear what I had to say.
895
00:59:17,573 --> 00:59:19,268
Given that we've
never talked about it.
896
00:59:19,475 --> 00:59:22,137
I'm sure I'll have lots to ask him.
When is he coming?
897
00:59:22,344 --> 00:59:24,278
He should be here any minute now.
898
00:59:24,847 --> 00:59:26,678
This is very exciting.
899
00:59:27,249 --> 00:59:29,046
Shit.
900
00:59:43,699 --> 00:59:45,929
- Yes?
- Bonnie, I have to talk fast.
901
00:59:46,135 --> 00:59:49,195
I need you to do exactly as I tell you
and I can't tell you why, okay?
902
00:59:49,405 --> 00:59:50,633
Sure.
903
00:59:51,373 --> 00:59:53,739
Excuse me, that might actually
be him now.
904
00:59:54,777 --> 00:59:56,472
Yes, hello?
905
01:00:08,857 --> 01:00:10,415
Yes, thank you.
906
01:00:12,161 --> 01:00:13,492
That was my office.
907
01:00:13,696 --> 01:00:16,164
There's a woman...
A friend, a relative of yours?
908
01:00:16,365 --> 01:00:18,765
She said she called
on a number you gave her.
909
01:00:19,435 --> 01:00:21,335
She's gonna call back.
910
01:00:27,810 --> 01:00:29,937
- Yes?
- Hi, kiddo.
911
01:00:30,145 --> 01:00:33,273
Listen, your brother Cliffordhas just been rushed to the hospital.
912
01:00:33,482 --> 01:00:35,245
He was doing constructionwhen a thing...
913
01:00:35,451 --> 01:00:37,248
- A steel girder?
- That's it.
914
01:00:37,453 --> 01:00:39,944
You better come to the cityand make your peace with him.
915
01:00:40,155 --> 01:00:42,316
You're booked on the nextflight to San Francisco.
916
01:00:42,524 --> 01:00:44,685
I'm waiting here for youin front of the terminal.
917
01:00:45,194 --> 01:00:47,594
They reserved me a seat
on the next flight to San Francisco.
918
01:00:47,796 --> 01:00:49,093
- I'll drive you there.
- No, no.
919
01:00:49,298 --> 01:00:52,358
Sharon is waiting at the airport for me.
You can't stand Lanny up.
920
01:00:52,568 --> 01:00:55,002
Please give him
my deepest apologies.
921
01:01:04,046 --> 01:01:07,243
- Hey.
- Please, I can explain.
922
01:01:08,083 --> 01:01:10,347
You've broken the law,
Bonnie-fucking-Trout.
923
01:01:10,552 --> 01:01:12,383
You've assumed
another person's identity...
924
01:01:12,588 --> 01:01:14,954
...to get information
from a business competitor.
925
01:01:15,157 --> 01:01:17,819
Obviously I lied about who I was.
I'm sorry.
926
01:01:18,027 --> 01:01:20,222
It was a huge untruth.
It wasn't planned.
927
01:01:20,429 --> 01:01:24,957
I was just freaked out about
suddenly being on the plane with...
928
01:01:26,001 --> 01:01:27,366
With you...
929
01:01:27,569 --> 01:01:29,867
How did you get the seat
behind me on the plane?
930
01:01:30,072 --> 01:01:31,699
- It was pure coincidence.
- Bullshit!
931
01:01:31,907 --> 01:01:33,340
It's true.
932
01:01:37,379 --> 01:01:41,110
How could you..? How could you have
just left me at the hotel like that?
933
01:01:41,517 --> 01:01:42,711
You were asleep.
934
01:01:42,918 --> 01:01:46,115
Reuben woke me to say
I had to be a substitute performer...
935
01:01:46,321 --> 01:01:50,553
...at a charity concert at the Hollywood
Bowl. I had to get the first flight out.
936
01:01:50,759 --> 01:01:52,317
You could have left a note
or called.
937
01:01:52,528 --> 01:01:54,587
- I did leave you a note.
- Where?
938
01:01:56,432 --> 01:02:00,027
I don't know why we're even talking
about this. I don't like you.
939
01:02:00,235 --> 01:02:03,170
All right? I wish we had never met.
940
01:02:09,044 --> 01:02:10,238
Hello, Vince.
941
01:02:11,013 --> 01:02:12,708
What the fuck's going on?
942
01:02:14,650 --> 01:02:17,312
Vince, a few days after we first met...
943
01:02:17,519 --> 01:02:20,352
...I found myself next to Lanny
on a flight to New York.
944
01:02:20,556 --> 01:02:22,183
It was a complete coincidence.
945
01:02:22,391 --> 01:02:24,052
- He asked my name...
- And she lied.
946
01:02:24,259 --> 01:02:27,524
I had just finished reading the first
chapter of Lanny's own biography.
947
01:02:27,729 --> 01:02:31,130
His lawyers had let me see it in the
hope of discouraging our own project.
948
01:02:31,333 --> 01:02:33,858
As a reflex, since I knew he
would view me as the enemy...
949
01:02:34,069 --> 01:02:35,696
...I gave him the name of a friend...
950
01:02:35,904 --> 01:02:37,997
...whose apartment I was
staying at in Manhattan.
951
01:02:38,207 --> 01:02:41,506
I thought I just had to get through
the awkwardness of the flight itself...
952
01:02:41,710 --> 01:02:43,701
...but the trouble is...
- You slept with him.
953
01:02:45,581 --> 01:02:48,948
- Vince...
- You slept with my ex-partner.
954
01:02:50,419 --> 01:02:51,647
Technically.
955
01:02:53,655 --> 01:02:56,249
Doesn't sound like things were
particularly technical.
956
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,071
Now, you listen to me, sweetheart.
957
01:03:20,883 --> 01:03:24,785
Vince doesn't always do
what's best for Vince.
958
01:03:24,987 --> 01:03:27,581
That's why he needed me
here today.
959
01:03:28,290 --> 01:03:32,249
The story of this girl is the
most painful thing in his life.
960
01:03:32,461 --> 01:03:34,622
What happened to her, Lanny?
961
01:03:35,797 --> 01:03:37,697
Well, you're not gonna find out.
962
01:03:38,634 --> 01:03:40,192
Not now.
963
01:03:40,936 --> 01:03:43,097
Not after what you've done to him.
964
01:03:52,481 --> 01:03:54,108
Vince.
965
01:03:54,316 --> 01:03:55,613
Oh, shit.
966
01:03:57,553 --> 01:03:59,612
Vince...
967
01:03:59,821 --> 01:04:01,789
...I made a terrible mistake
in New York.
968
01:04:01,990 --> 01:04:05,357
I apologize to you
more than I know how to say.
969
01:04:05,561 --> 01:04:07,791
I'm so sorry.
970
01:04:17,606 --> 01:04:20,905
Vince, the realization
of your life story...
971
01:04:21,109 --> 01:04:23,737
...shouldn't be threatened
because of my failings.
972
01:04:25,948 --> 01:04:28,678
Please let me continue
to work with you again.
973
01:04:29,885 --> 01:04:32,217
I'll help you tell your story right.
974
01:04:34,823 --> 01:04:36,757
Come back tonight.
975
01:04:38,827 --> 01:04:40,488
Let me think about it.
976
01:04:53,141 --> 01:04:57,009
- How do you like the wine?
- It's magnificent. What is it?
977
01:04:57,212 --> 01:04:59,703
1961 Haut-Brion.
978
01:04:59,915 --> 01:05:01,644
People make a big deal of 1959...
979
01:05:01,850 --> 01:05:05,183
...but I don't think there'll be
a year as special as 1961.
980
01:05:05,821 --> 01:05:08,585
It was a great year for French wines.
981
01:05:11,927 --> 01:05:13,861
Will you join me?
982
01:05:14,696 --> 01:05:16,288
What are they?
983
01:05:16,832 --> 01:05:20,996
They're like very mild-mannered
Quaaludes.
984
01:05:21,236 --> 01:05:23,329
Must've done a few of those
in your time, right?
985
01:05:24,806 --> 01:05:26,535
Are you sure they're okay
with alcohol?
986
01:05:26,742 --> 01:05:30,269
Oh, they're even better with alcohol.
Believe me, I'd know.
987
01:05:36,485 --> 01:05:38,578
Come on in, honey. The water's fine.
988
01:05:39,655 --> 01:05:44,490
All my life, I've had this ideathat I could always be in control.
989
01:05:45,093 --> 01:05:47,027
Ever since I was sick,I had this sense...
990
01:05:47,229 --> 01:05:50,392
... that I could make my bodydo anything I wanted.
991
01:05:50,599 --> 01:05:52,260
If I could will my polio away...
992
01:05:52,467 --> 01:05:55,925
... I'd certainly be able to will awaythe effect of any drug.
993
01:06:09,685 --> 01:06:13,348
Do you mind if I close the drapes?
The sun's in my eyes.
994
01:06:15,123 --> 01:06:16,988
It's moonlight.
995
01:06:18,427 --> 01:06:19,951
Go ahead.
996
01:07:21,890 --> 01:07:23,949
I remember you.
997
01:07:24,559 --> 01:07:26,288
You're Alice.
998
01:07:26,928 --> 01:07:29,089
In Wonderland.
999
01:07:29,798 --> 01:07:31,993
Oh, I don't know.
1000
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,600
I'm really stoned
out of my head already.
1001
01:07:35,904 --> 01:07:37,462
Is it good?
1002
01:07:43,011 --> 01:07:47,107
Jesus, Vince. It's like monster grass.
1003
01:07:47,315 --> 01:07:49,579
Do you get this stuff all the time?
1004
01:07:49,785 --> 01:07:51,776
All the time.
1005
01:08:01,129 --> 01:08:03,563
You're Alice.
1006
01:08:06,401 --> 01:08:08,062
You're so beautiful.
1007
01:08:37,098 --> 01:08:38,998
She's ours.
1008
01:08:39,701 --> 01:08:41,692
Isn't that so, Alice?
1009
01:08:43,205 --> 01:08:45,070
I'm yours.
1010
01:09:18,373 --> 01:09:20,204
I like you.
1011
01:09:32,854 --> 01:09:36,119
I had always been fascinated by howsome women could cross the line...
1012
01:09:36,324 --> 01:09:40,954
... between who they were and whothey would let themselves become.
1013
01:09:41,663 --> 01:09:43,358
Maureen...
1014
01:09:44,099 --> 01:09:45,930
... Alice...
1015
01:09:46,601 --> 01:09:48,159
... and now...
1016
01:09:48,370 --> 01:09:49,928
... me.
1017
01:09:56,444 --> 01:09:57,775
Morning.
1018
01:09:57,979 --> 01:10:01,278
That was not a Quaalude you
gave me. I've had Quaaludes.
1019
01:10:02,584 --> 01:10:03,915
I said it was like a Quaalude.
1020
01:10:04,119 --> 01:10:06,485
And you didn't take one yourself.
You palmed the pill.
1021
01:10:06,688 --> 01:10:08,679
Somebody had to drive.
1022
01:10:09,658 --> 01:10:11,455
Don't worry, you won't get pregnant.
1023
01:10:11,660 --> 01:10:13,491
Not from Alice,
and certainly not from me.
1024
01:10:13,695 --> 01:10:16,255
I never took off my pants,
as you may or may not remember.
1025
01:10:16,464 --> 01:10:18,125
There are laws against
drugging people.
1026
01:10:18,333 --> 01:10:22,326
Oh, please. You took it voluntarily.
Nobody slipped it into your drink.
1027
01:10:23,905 --> 01:10:27,306
And you chased it with one of the most
expensive wines in the world.
1028
01:10:27,509 --> 01:10:30,910
You're just in a dither because you've
discovered you can swing both ways.
1029
01:10:33,214 --> 01:10:35,045
You see...
1030
01:10:36,117 --> 01:10:37,982
...I needed to get something on you.
1031
01:10:38,186 --> 01:10:41,451
Of course, your behavior with Lanny
might have been even better than this.
1032
01:10:41,656 --> 01:10:43,419
But I'd already set the wheels
in motion.
1033
01:10:43,625 --> 01:10:47,618
And as I was dying to see
you and Alice get it on...
1034
01:10:48,096 --> 01:10:50,223
Well, these are just a sample.
1035
01:10:57,839 --> 01:11:00,672
Why would she agree to do this?
Doesn't she want a career?
1036
01:11:00,875 --> 01:11:03,139
Well, it's your career
I'm worried about.
1037
01:11:03,712 --> 01:11:06,044
You're a journalist
playing loose with the rules.
1038
01:11:06,448 --> 01:11:08,973
She's just a vulnerable young singer
you seduced.
1039
01:11:09,184 --> 01:11:12,210
A promising... Oh, good heavens.
1040
01:11:12,587 --> 01:11:15,317
Promising artist
that I happen to manage.
1041
01:11:15,523 --> 01:11:17,320
You met her through me...
1042
01:11:17,525 --> 01:11:19,425
...and had your way with her.
1043
01:11:24,132 --> 01:11:25,759
What do you want from me?
1044
01:11:28,737 --> 01:11:31,069
You're going to continue
writing the book.
1045
01:11:31,272 --> 01:11:35,174
I'm going to continue telling you
juicy stories, funny stories...
1046
01:11:35,377 --> 01:11:37,470
...heart-tugging stories.
1047
01:11:37,712 --> 01:11:39,942
And you're not going to ask me
a single question...
1048
01:11:40,148 --> 01:11:42,378
...about what happened
to the girl in New Jersey.
1049
01:11:43,485 --> 01:11:46,511
You're going to go to your publisher,
say you tried every angle...
1050
01:11:46,721 --> 01:11:49,656
...but you could find nothing odd
or suspicious in what I told you.
1051
01:11:56,464 --> 01:11:59,365
I'll even try to spice it up a little,
talk about how...
1052
01:11:59,567 --> 01:12:02,536
...the night before the telethon,
I wanted to sleep like a babe...
1053
01:12:02,737 --> 01:12:05,001
...so to cover my bets,
I kept a few babes on hand.
1054
01:12:05,974 --> 01:12:07,532
Well, not exactly on my hand...
1055
01:12:07,742 --> 01:12:11,109
...and that's not my preference,
as you might have gathered by now.
1056
01:12:20,688 --> 01:12:24,590
So you get your bestseller,
I get my million.
1057
01:12:24,793 --> 01:12:26,055
Everyone goes home happy.
1058
01:12:26,261 --> 01:12:29,492
You've dreaded talking about
Maureen O'Flaherty since we met.
1059
01:12:29,697 --> 01:12:31,858
If it's something you're so
desperate to avoid...
1060
01:12:32,067 --> 01:12:34,058
...why would you ever agree
to do this book?
1061
01:12:34,769 --> 01:12:36,430
I need the money.
1062
01:12:36,638 --> 01:12:40,039
Vince, anything you say
in my presence is mine to use.
1063
01:12:41,042 --> 01:12:43,943
Everything you said last night
and everything you've just told me.
1064
01:12:44,145 --> 01:12:46,875
And since I'm also allowed to include
contextual background...
1065
01:12:47,082 --> 01:12:49,107
...I can write about
how you set me up...
1066
01:12:49,317 --> 01:12:52,684
...how you tried to blackmail me.
I'll even include those Polaroids.
1067
01:12:52,887 --> 01:12:56,220
It's your word against mine. We have
a contract. Everything's in my words.
1068
01:12:56,424 --> 01:12:59,723
We've agreed to your answers,
but there's nothing to stop me...
1069
01:12:59,928 --> 01:13:04,627
...from putting any information I want
into a question I ask.
1070
01:13:05,700 --> 01:13:08,669
Information that I'd like to be
public knowledge...
1071
01:13:09,604 --> 01:13:12,072
...or that the police
might wanna look into.
1072
01:13:16,711 --> 01:13:21,045
Would you like me to fire one of my
loaded questions, on the record?
1073
01:13:21,916 --> 01:13:23,679
Sure.
1074
01:13:30,758 --> 01:13:32,749
Vince...
1075
01:13:33,261 --> 01:13:36,697
...in your suite
at the Versailles Hotel in Miami...
1076
01:13:37,365 --> 01:13:39,731
...was it your or Lanny's idea...
1077
01:13:39,934 --> 01:13:43,267
...to put Maureen's body into the case
containing shellfish and ice...
1078
01:13:43,471 --> 01:13:45,132
...and have it shipped
to New Jersey?
1079
01:13:50,011 --> 01:13:52,878
No answer, Mr. Collins?
So noted.
1080
01:13:53,515 --> 01:13:56,382
Oh, and incidentally,
by not answering...
1081
01:13:56,584 --> 01:13:59,178
...you're in violation of your contract.
1082
01:13:59,788 --> 01:14:02,985
What a shame.
I understood you needed that money.
1083
01:14:17,705 --> 01:14:19,866
Oh, no. Oh, God.
1084
01:14:20,074 --> 01:14:23,771
Oh, God.
Oh, God. Oh, God!
1085
01:14:32,554 --> 01:14:34,317
Was that how
you murdered Maureen?
1086
01:14:47,769 --> 01:14:49,600
Ask Lanny.
1087
01:14:52,373 --> 01:14:54,398
He's the one who knows.
1088
01:15:12,894 --> 01:15:16,591
It wasn't that hard for himto get the suite he wanted.
1089
01:15:16,798 --> 01:15:20,791
The Versailles was still one of thefanciest of the hotels along the beach.
1090
01:15:21,002 --> 01:15:23,664
But by then, its era had passed.
1091
01:15:25,073 --> 01:15:26,665
Thank you, sir.
1092
01:15:36,117 --> 01:15:38,449
All the furniture was new.
1093
01:15:38,686 --> 01:15:41,018
It had been 15 years...
1094
01:15:41,723 --> 01:15:43,714
... but the floor plan...
1095
01:15:43,925 --> 01:15:46,086
... was still the same.
1096
01:15:46,895 --> 01:15:49,125
In that spot...
1097
01:15:49,464 --> 01:15:52,365
... that was where the truthhad come out.
1098
01:15:53,434 --> 01:15:56,198
That was why she had to die.
1099
01:16:07,048 --> 01:16:09,608
Are you Japanese or Chinese?
1100
01:16:10,852 --> 01:16:12,547
Vietnamese.
1101
01:16:13,021 --> 01:16:16,286
The kitchen tell me
you famous person.
1102
01:16:16,491 --> 01:16:18,425
Why you famous?
1103
01:16:18,793 --> 01:16:20,920
They didn't tell you my name?
1104
01:16:21,129 --> 01:16:22,323
No.
1105
01:16:22,530 --> 01:16:24,225
What is it?
1106
01:16:26,634 --> 01:16:28,363
Lanny Morris.
1107
01:16:29,103 --> 01:16:30,764
It's a Jewish name...
1108
01:16:30,972 --> 01:16:32,439
...but I'm a nebbish.
1109
01:16:33,708 --> 01:16:36,142
You ordered three bottle
of champagne.
1110
01:16:36,344 --> 01:16:37,606
You want me to open one now?
1111
01:16:38,313 --> 01:16:40,338
Or wait until friend come?
1112
01:16:41,449 --> 01:16:42,973
Open all three.
1113
01:16:44,619 --> 01:16:46,917
Are you really famous, Mr. Morris?
1114
01:16:48,156 --> 01:16:49,783
In my day.
1115
01:16:50,224 --> 01:16:52,283
Before your time, I suppose.
1116
01:16:53,294 --> 01:16:55,854
I come from the north of Vietnam.
1117
01:16:56,064 --> 01:16:58,396
In my town, there is no television.
1118
01:16:58,599 --> 01:17:02,899
She explained that American movieshad been banned where she grew up.
1119
01:17:08,142 --> 01:17:10,804
She got better tips pretendingshe was Madame Butterfly...
1120
01:17:11,012 --> 01:17:14,072
... than by telling peoplewhere she was really from.
1121
01:17:15,216 --> 01:17:17,309
What did you do, Mr. Morris?
1122
01:17:18,386 --> 01:17:20,911
I made Vince Collins' life...
1123
01:17:21,356 --> 01:17:23,449
...very difficult.
1124
01:17:23,658 --> 01:17:26,855
She didn't understand, but her policywas not to linger in the rooms...
1125
01:17:27,061 --> 01:17:28,995
... of solitary gentlemen.
1126
01:17:30,398 --> 01:17:34,698
He signed the room-service checkunder Lanny's name.
1127
01:17:36,938 --> 01:17:38,462
Thank you.
1128
01:18:01,529 --> 01:18:03,793
There was no ice or waterleft in the buckets...
1129
01:18:03,998 --> 01:18:06,796
... when his body was discoveredthe next morning.
1130
01:18:08,069 --> 01:18:11,800
He had dumped the ice intothe bathtub and died in it.
1131
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,134
He must have feltthere was some poetry in it.
1132
01:18:19,547 --> 01:18:21,913
His plan was to drinkenough champagne...
1133
01:18:22,116 --> 01:18:23,515
... with enough sleeping pills...
1134
01:18:23,718 --> 01:18:27,620
... so that ending things wouldbecome an acceptable idea.
1135
01:18:28,356 --> 01:18:30,256
He could manage that.
1136
01:18:31,058 --> 01:18:34,391
He knew for certainhe couldn't manage anything else.
1137
01:18:37,965 --> 01:18:39,523
Hi.
1138
01:18:41,803 --> 01:18:44,499
I thought you were
gonna be out all afternoon.
1139
01:18:49,243 --> 01:18:51,006
I'm sorry.
1140
01:18:51,446 --> 01:18:53,311
It's okay.
1141
01:18:54,282 --> 01:18:56,307
This was under the door.
1142
01:19:03,891 --> 01:19:05,153
What is it?
1143
01:19:06,794 --> 01:19:08,921
Chapter three.
1144
01:19:10,698 --> 01:19:14,998
John, as my lawyer, I want youto know that this next chapter...
1145
01:19:15,203 --> 01:19:18,172
... is to be readafter Vince and my death...
1146
01:19:18,372 --> 01:19:23,036
... and is only to be used underthe most extreme of circumstances.
1147
01:19:24,745 --> 01:19:26,838
We knew we wanted to makean early night of it...
1148
01:19:27,048 --> 01:19:30,484
... with the telethon starting the nextday, so Vince suggested we dine in...
1149
01:19:30,685 --> 01:19:33,677
... so Maureen could dothe interview for her campus paper.
1150
01:19:33,888 --> 01:19:38,882
This is a gift for us
from the audience...
1151
01:19:39,527 --> 01:19:43,463
...from the people,
the people that are out there.
1152
01:19:44,332 --> 01:19:48,564
Sooner or later you gotta say,
"We wanna give something back."
1153
01:19:48,836 --> 01:19:50,428
I think that's really important.
1154
01:19:50,638 --> 01:19:54,938
Not many people would take
the time out to do that. Thank you.
1155
01:19:55,142 --> 01:19:57,872
She actually hid her tape recorderin the room-service cart...
1156
01:19:58,079 --> 01:20:00,843
... because she didn't wantthe hotel to find out.
1157
01:20:08,656 --> 01:20:11,887
We finished the interviewand then asked her to stay.
1158
01:20:14,962 --> 01:20:19,023
To help us get into the mood,I did a Tuinal...
1159
01:20:19,233 --> 01:20:20,860
... then she did one...
1160
01:20:21,068 --> 01:20:25,198
... and Vince, he did two,because he was always doing two.
1161
01:20:26,073 --> 01:20:30,032
We got into the second of thethree bottles of Mo�t we'd ordered.
1162
01:20:30,244 --> 01:20:35,409
We thought it would be better to keepthe action to neutral territory.
1163
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:40,285
God...
1164
01:20:40,588 --> 01:20:42,283
... she was beautiful.
1165
01:20:44,959 --> 01:20:47,189
I chain-locked the front doorto the living room...
1166
01:20:47,395 --> 01:20:50,922
... to make sure that housekeeping,eager to turn down our beds...
1167
01:20:51,132 --> 01:20:53,692
... didn't walk in on an employeehaving a m�nage � trois...
1168
01:20:53,901 --> 01:20:55,994
... with the hotel's headliners.
1169
01:20:56,204 --> 01:20:59,037
Then I went to chain-lockthe door to Vince's room.
1170
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:02,573
I took a quick shower,I put on my robe...
1171
01:21:02,777 --> 01:21:07,009
... and brought a robe for Maureen,in case she felt a little bashful.
1172
01:21:10,618 --> 01:21:12,916
So much for bashful.
1173
01:21:13,621 --> 01:21:16,749
I threw the robe on the bedand moved into the room...
1174
01:21:16,958 --> 01:21:19,950
... half-worried that they wouldfinish without me.
1175
01:21:26,701 --> 01:21:29,864
I've always preferredthe missionary position.
1176
01:21:30,071 --> 01:21:33,734
I have to see their faces,look into their eyes.
1177
01:21:33,941 --> 01:21:38,139
Unless they're acting, and I'd liketo think I can tell the difference...
1178
01:21:38,346 --> 01:21:40,405
... there comes that moment...
1179
01:21:40,615 --> 01:21:42,640
... when, if you're looking...
1180
01:21:42,850 --> 01:21:45,318
... if you're really looking...
1181
01:21:45,519 --> 01:21:48,852
... you'll see exactly who she is.
1182
01:21:50,124 --> 01:21:51,921
This was different.
1183
01:21:52,126 --> 01:21:55,892
It was likeshe saw exactly who I was.
1184
01:22:14,315 --> 01:22:16,681
Watch it there, compadre.
1185
01:22:17,485 --> 01:22:20,249
It's a little hard to tell who's who,
under the circumstances.
1186
01:22:20,454 --> 01:22:23,855
I'm the one that's more than
a little hard, you dumb fucking limey.
1187
01:22:24,325 --> 01:22:28,091
Well, I'm... I'm the one with a foreskin.
Don't you forget that.
1188
01:22:31,666 --> 01:22:33,566
Watch it. You got the end zone
there, Vince.
1189
01:22:33,768 --> 01:22:36,760
- Come on, come on. Fuck.
- You're gonna like it.
1190
01:22:36,971 --> 01:22:39,064
It's like from another planet
when you come.
1191
01:22:39,273 --> 01:22:41,070
- Get the fuck off me.
- I'd never hurt you.
1192
01:22:41,275 --> 01:22:43,106
- I'd never hurt you.
- Get the fuck off me!
1193
01:22:43,311 --> 01:22:46,542
- No, trust me. It's like double the sex...
- Get the fuck off me!
1194
01:22:46,747 --> 01:22:49,238
We don't fuck, Vince!
1195
01:22:49,850 --> 01:22:52,978
We're buddies, we're pals,
we're partners, we're a duo.
1196
01:22:53,187 --> 01:22:56,418
We love each other,
but we don't fuck!
1197
01:22:57,258 --> 01:22:59,488
We're fucking stars!
1198
01:22:59,694 --> 01:23:01,093
- We can travel together.
- Okay.
1199
01:23:01,295 --> 01:23:06,096
We can hang out together, we can live
together, but we can't be queers!
1200
01:23:06,300 --> 01:23:09,292
It's not funny!
1201
01:23:32,159 --> 01:23:34,286
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
1202
01:23:34,495 --> 01:23:35,962
About?
1203
01:23:38,165 --> 01:23:40,190
About your nose.
1204
01:23:42,603 --> 01:23:44,571
It's not broken, is it?
1205
01:23:47,208 --> 01:23:48,698
It's how I am.
1206
01:23:48,909 --> 01:23:52,640
Guess the question is,
who's gonna pay me?
1207
01:23:52,847 --> 01:23:54,974
This surprised me.
1208
01:23:55,182 --> 01:23:57,582
The girl was not a hooker.
1209
01:24:08,028 --> 01:24:10,758
My wallet was on top of my robe.
1210
01:24:11,232 --> 01:24:13,223
I took out some money.
1211
01:24:13,634 --> 01:24:15,795
I don't remember how much.
1212
01:24:32,419 --> 01:24:33,852
I don't think so.
1213
01:24:35,156 --> 01:24:37,784
That's more than you would
make in a month of tips.
1214
01:24:37,992 --> 01:24:40,290
I'm not looking for a tip.
1215
01:24:41,362 --> 01:24:42,989
What the hell are you saying?
1216
01:24:43,197 --> 01:24:45,563
Honey, I'm in my last year
of college.
1217
01:24:45,766 --> 01:24:48,462
This is a summer job.
1218
01:24:51,605 --> 01:24:53,573
I wanna write.
1219
01:24:53,774 --> 01:24:56,334
I wanna be a journalist.
1220
01:25:00,781 --> 01:25:03,875
So I could either
use this information...
1221
01:25:05,052 --> 01:25:06,610
...or I could use a lot of money.
1222
01:25:08,989 --> 01:25:11,787
I promise you
this will only cost you once.
1223
01:25:14,995 --> 01:25:18,294
I'm so tired, I don't even think
I'm going home.
1224
01:25:19,300 --> 01:25:20,961
I think it's the Tuinals.
1225
01:25:23,337 --> 01:25:26,534
Hey, Lanny, don't take it personally.
1226
01:25:26,740 --> 01:25:29,106
You were a great lover.
1227
01:25:29,310 --> 01:25:32,746
You have got the cutest little butt.
1228
01:25:37,318 --> 01:25:40,014
I guess Vince thinks so too.
1229
01:25:45,025 --> 01:25:46,890
Night, Lanny.
1230
01:25:48,929 --> 01:25:52,421
I would never see her alive again.
1231
01:25:54,902 --> 01:25:57,234
I put a "Do Not Disturb" signon my door...
1232
01:25:57,438 --> 01:26:00,635
... fastened the chain lock,in case the maid didn't read.
1233
01:26:00,841 --> 01:26:02,775
I left a wake-up call for 8...
1234
01:26:02,977 --> 01:26:05,411
... and went to sleepknowing that a telethon...
1235
01:26:05,613 --> 01:26:09,606
... was the least of the ordeals I wasgoing to have to face in the morning.
1236
01:26:14,655 --> 01:26:16,452
The Tuinals had reallyconked me out...
1237
01:26:16,657 --> 01:26:19,785
... and I slept throughmy wake-up call that morning.
1238
01:26:19,994 --> 01:26:22,121
The operator had called Reubendown the hall...
1239
01:26:22,329 --> 01:26:24,024
... to see if he could wake me...
1240
01:26:24,231 --> 01:26:27,428
... but he couldn't get in becausewe had chain-locked all the doors.
1241
01:26:28,569 --> 01:26:30,332
Reuben!
1242
01:26:30,538 --> 01:26:33,405
I yelled for Reuben to wake up Vincewhile I worked on Maureen...
1243
01:26:33,607 --> 01:26:37,407
... trying to make myself believethat she was still sleeping.
1244
01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:41,513
Fuck.
1245
01:26:41,949 --> 01:26:43,576
No, no. Fuck.
1246
01:26:43,784 --> 01:26:47,276
The autopsy revealed the drugsand alcohol in her body...
1247
01:26:47,488 --> 01:26:50,184
... but I knewit wasn't enough to kill her.
1248
01:26:54,395 --> 01:26:56,158
All three doors to the suite...
1249
01:26:56,363 --> 01:26:59,924
... were chain-locked from the insidewhen I found her.
1250
01:27:00,501 --> 01:27:01,798
I hadn't touched her.
1251
01:27:02,002 --> 01:27:08,100
That's how I know that my formerpartner and friend, Vince Collins...
1252
01:27:08,309 --> 01:27:11,540
... murdered Maureen O'Flaherty.
1253
01:27:15,549 --> 01:27:18,746
You must have guessed by nowthat Vince and I had found a way...
1254
01:27:18,953 --> 01:27:21,945
... to relocate Maureen's bodyto New Jersey.
1255
01:27:22,156 --> 01:27:25,683
This is the one criminal actthe both of us committed...
1256
01:27:25,893 --> 01:27:30,455
... but we were in a panic andneeded to create an ironclad alibi.
1257
01:27:30,664 --> 01:27:33,155
The crates were deliveredto our room.
1258
01:27:33,367 --> 01:27:36,063
The publicist had opened the cratesfor a photo op.
1259
01:27:36,270 --> 01:27:37,794
But the official story became...
1260
01:27:38,005 --> 01:27:40,667
... that she found Maureen'soverdosed body in the tub.
1261
01:27:40,874 --> 01:27:44,867
A police officer called Scagliawas there to witness the whole thing.
1262
01:27:45,079 --> 01:27:47,104
Live, until they drop dead...
1263
01:27:47,314 --> 01:27:48,679
During the telethon...
1264
01:27:48,882 --> 01:27:52,909
... I kept telling myself that I couldforgive Vince for two reasons.
1265
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:56,021
First of all, I don't think he couldhave known what he was doing.
1266
01:27:56,223 --> 01:27:59,556
He was completely out of it,even more than usual.
1267
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,625
The second is that he was terrified...
1268
01:28:01,829 --> 01:28:04,957
... that this incident would becomepublic knowledge.
1269
01:28:05,165 --> 01:28:08,828
In those days, the slightest hintthat he could swing both ways...
1270
01:28:09,036 --> 01:28:12,597
... would destroy hisshow-business career in an instant.
1271
01:28:13,474 --> 01:28:16,375
As it was, it was only to destroy us.
1272
01:28:16,977 --> 01:28:19,036
We completed the telethon...
1273
01:28:19,246 --> 01:28:21,840
... but we both knewwe were finished.
1274
01:28:22,616 --> 01:28:24,049
The marriage...
1275
01:28:24,518 --> 01:28:26,247
... was over.
1276
01:28:27,721 --> 01:28:30,451
There was a momentin the middle of the telethon...
1277
01:28:30,657 --> 01:28:33,251
... where I actually broke down.
1278
01:28:33,460 --> 01:28:36,623
I just couldn't control myself.
1279
01:28:36,830 --> 01:28:39,321
I remember I mumbled something...
1280
01:28:39,533 --> 01:28:44,027
... to a little girl who was recountingher experiences with the disease.
1281
01:28:44,638 --> 01:28:47,072
I don't remember what I said...
1282
01:28:47,541 --> 01:28:50,374
... but I do rememberfeeling worthless.
1283
01:28:52,046 --> 01:28:54,810
Everyone thought that my tearswere for her.
1284
01:28:55,182 --> 01:28:58,515
It made for a great picturein the papers the next day.
1285
01:29:00,854 --> 01:29:02,719
Mr. Morris will see you now.
1286
01:29:27,147 --> 01:29:30,310
I expected to see you
at Vince's funeral.
1287
01:29:31,719 --> 01:29:35,985
Kind of heartless of you not to
show up, don't you think, Karen?
1288
01:29:36,924 --> 01:29:39,552
Considering you're probably
the one that...
1289
01:29:41,128 --> 01:29:42,993
...drove him to it.
1290
01:29:44,565 --> 01:29:46,157
I won't answer that.
1291
01:29:48,802 --> 01:29:50,531
So don't.
1292
01:29:50,871 --> 01:29:52,702
So get the fuck out of my office.
1293
01:29:53,407 --> 01:29:58,140
Lanny, I have interview material with
Vince up until the moment he met you.
1294
01:29:58,345 --> 01:30:00,506
It would be great if this...
1295
01:30:00,848 --> 01:30:03,408
...warm, funny side of Vince
could reach the public.
1296
01:30:03,617 --> 01:30:07,178
And what the fuck do you know
about Vince's warm and funny side?
1297
01:30:09,556 --> 01:30:12,081
What about the warm and funny fact
that he killed himself?
1298
01:30:12,526 --> 01:30:15,757
- Why would he do that?
- I don't know.
1299
01:30:17,397 --> 01:30:19,627
That's the answer I'm giving you...
1300
01:30:19,833 --> 01:30:21,926
...and anyone else that asks.
1301
01:30:22,636 --> 01:30:25,196
- "I don't know."
- But you do know, don't you, Lanny?
1302
01:30:25,405 --> 01:30:27,464
Whatever I know, sweetheart...
1303
01:30:27,674 --> 01:30:28,971
...I�m writing in my book.
1304
01:30:30,077 --> 01:30:33,410
Except you're never
going to finish your book.
1305
01:30:33,847 --> 01:30:35,439
You don't have to.
1306
01:30:36,517 --> 01:30:38,485
The person who needed
your book is dead.
1307
01:30:40,154 --> 01:30:42,122
You always wrote the material
for your shows.
1308
01:30:42,322 --> 01:30:44,153
Every single word was rehearsed.
1309
01:30:44,358 --> 01:30:46,826
The book was a manual,
a set of notes...
1310
01:30:47,027 --> 01:30:49,860
...so Vince would get
every detail of the official story.
1311
01:30:51,031 --> 01:30:53,659
"A couple of extra babes for him
to sleep with that night.
1312
01:30:53,867 --> 01:30:55,835
A few of them on hand.
1313
01:30:56,036 --> 01:30:58,800
Well, not exactly on his hand.
That wasn't his preference."
1314
01:31:00,474 --> 01:31:03,534
- So, what's your point?
- He quoted that very line to me.
1315
01:31:03,744 --> 01:31:07,942
Quoted it from your manuscript as if
he were saying it for the first time.
1316
01:31:10,150 --> 01:31:12,516
You wrote it because you loved him.
1317
01:31:16,423 --> 01:31:18,550
And feared for him.
1318
01:31:21,395 --> 01:31:22,987
And feared for yourself.
1319
01:31:27,901 --> 01:31:29,835
And then you wrote this:
1320
01:31:35,409 --> 01:31:36,876
Where the fuck did you get that?
1321
01:31:37,077 --> 01:31:39,602
- Delivered to my room.
- Bullshit. You stole it.
1322
01:31:39,813 --> 01:31:44,113
Maureen O'Flaherty was killed
in the Versailles Hotel, in your room...
1323
01:31:44,318 --> 01:31:46,878
...the night before the telethon.
1324
01:31:49,289 --> 01:31:51,655
The night before we met.
1325
01:31:58,131 --> 01:32:00,224
Get out of my office.
1326
01:32:48,715 --> 01:32:50,512
Miss Trout?
1327
01:32:51,652 --> 01:32:54,712
We walked through the desertedbacklot of the studio...
1328
01:32:54,922 --> 01:32:59,188
... and I confessedthat I wasn't Bonnie Trout.
1329
01:32:59,393 --> 01:33:01,486
That I was writing a bookabout Vince Collins.
1330
01:33:01,695 --> 01:33:03,822
And that I was tryingto uncover the secret...
1331
01:33:04,031 --> 01:33:06,363
... behind what happenedto Maureen O'Flaherty.
1332
01:33:06,833 --> 01:33:09,324
I told him what I found out.
1333
01:33:09,536 --> 01:33:11,163
He prayed that he wouldbe forgiven...
1334
01:33:11,371 --> 01:33:13,669
... for having been thereas the murder was concealed.
1335
01:33:13,874 --> 01:33:15,569
Miss O'Connor...
1336
01:33:15,876 --> 01:33:19,835
...I have a tape recording of
the night Miss O'Flaherty was killed.
1337
01:33:20,480 --> 01:33:23,643
She had brought a machine.
1338
01:33:25,786 --> 01:33:27,777
- For the interview.
- Yes.
1339
01:33:27,988 --> 01:33:31,082
I found it as I was
getting rid of her things.
1340
01:33:32,826 --> 01:33:35,488
She kept it on?
1341
01:33:37,297 --> 01:33:40,289
Could you use this tape
for your book?
1342
01:33:44,471 --> 01:33:46,098
Of course.
1343
01:33:46,740 --> 01:33:48,401
Miss O'Connor...
1344
01:33:49,343 --> 01:33:51,174
...is it something?
1345
01:33:52,479 --> 01:33:53,878
Oh, my.
1346
01:33:54,081 --> 01:33:56,106
Is it something I could sell?
1347
01:33:57,150 --> 01:34:00,244
Reuben, I can't speak
on behalf of my publishers...
1348
01:34:00,454 --> 01:34:03,014
...but I'm sure that we can
settle on a price.
1349
01:34:03,223 --> 01:34:05,589
Oh, thank you, Miss O'Connor.
1350
01:34:09,363 --> 01:34:11,923
I'll even spice it up a little,talk about how...
1351
01:34:12,132 --> 01:34:15,158
... the night before the telethon,I wanted to sleep like a babe.
1352
01:34:15,369 --> 01:34:18,099
So to cover my bets,
I kept a few babes on hand.
1353
01:34:18,672 --> 01:34:20,503
Well, not exactly on my hand.
1354
01:34:20,707 --> 01:34:24,006
That's not my preference,
as you may have gathered by now.
1355
01:34:26,146 --> 01:34:27,875
I need the money.
1356
01:34:29,783 --> 01:34:32,479
Did you have a figure in mind?
1357
01:34:34,588 --> 01:34:37,716
Would you think a million dollars
would be too much?
1358
01:34:38,658 --> 01:34:42,526
Vince was being paid
a million dollars for his life.
1359
01:34:42,729 --> 01:34:44,026
This is one night.
1360
01:34:44,998 --> 01:34:47,023
The most important night.
1361
01:34:48,468 --> 01:34:50,459
You could have left me a noteor called me.
1362
01:34:50,670 --> 01:34:53,366
- I did leave you a note.- Where?
1363
01:35:03,116 --> 01:35:05,380
Lanny left this for me
at my apartment.
1364
01:35:06,486 --> 01:35:09,148
It's his version
of what happened that night.
1365
01:35:10,490 --> 01:35:14,221
On its own,
it's absolutely useless to me.
1366
01:35:14,428 --> 01:35:16,794
I could have typed it myself.
1367
01:35:20,200 --> 01:35:24,728
But if it matched
what's recorded on your tape...
1368
01:35:27,541 --> 01:35:29,270
...it would make it priceless.
1369
01:35:34,214 --> 01:35:36,114
Which is why you sent it to me.
1370
01:35:39,052 --> 01:35:42,180
You just said
Mr. Morris left it at your apartment.
1371
01:35:42,389 --> 01:35:44,823
He was surprised I had it.
1372
01:35:46,993 --> 01:35:50,520
Like he was surprised I hadn't found
the note he left for me at the hotel.
1373
01:35:50,730 --> 01:35:53,460
The note you must've disposed of
as you were tidying the room.
1374
01:35:53,667 --> 01:35:55,794
I told you how he deals with women.
I was afraid.
1375
01:35:56,002 --> 01:35:57,765
Really afraid of whathe might do to you.
1376
01:35:57,971 --> 01:36:00,098
Maybe you were afraid of what I'd...
1377
01:36:00,307 --> 01:36:02,798
I'd do to him. And to you.
1378
01:36:03,009 --> 01:36:06,911
Why would I be afraid of
a schoolteacher called Bonnie Trout?
1379
01:36:07,114 --> 01:36:09,674
Because you knew I was
Karen O'Connor.
1380
01:36:09,883 --> 01:36:12,613
When I woke up,
you folded my clothes...
1381
01:36:12,819 --> 01:36:14,719
...and placed my pocketbook
on the bed.
1382
01:36:14,921 --> 01:36:18,914
The pocketbook that had my name
and the letter from my publisher.
1383
01:36:20,627 --> 01:36:23,926
I was writing about the one thing
you wanted to have total control over:
1384
01:36:24,130 --> 01:36:26,121
Collins and Morris.
1385
01:36:27,634 --> 01:36:31,730
You made me abandon any thought
of trying to contact Lanny.
1386
01:36:32,339 --> 01:36:34,739
You made me feel like I was
less than nothing to him...
1387
01:36:34,941 --> 01:36:37,102
...because you were playing
your own complex game.
1388
01:36:37,310 --> 01:36:43,010
And what exactly was this complex
game I was playing, Miss O'Connor?
1389
01:37:01,635 --> 01:37:03,296
You were in the room.
1390
01:37:04,638 --> 01:37:06,367
That night.
1391
01:37:07,107 --> 01:37:09,803
Lanny had a robe.
He dropped it on the bed.
1392
01:37:10,010 --> 01:37:12,604
After Maureen asked for money...
1393
01:37:12,812 --> 01:37:14,780
...the wallet was on top.
It had been folded.
1394
01:37:14,981 --> 01:37:18,473
Well, I always, always arranged
Mr. Morris' things.
1395
01:37:18,685 --> 01:37:21,950
After he went to bed.
You were there before.
1396
01:37:22,155 --> 01:37:25,352
How would I get out?
All three doors were chain-locked.
1397
01:37:43,677 --> 01:37:45,872
Through Vince's room.
1398
01:37:47,314 --> 01:37:48,872
Then, the next morning...
1399
01:37:49,082 --> 01:37:52,381
... you must have chain-locked thedoor before you went to wake him up.
1400
01:37:56,489 --> 01:37:58,616
Fuck!
1401
01:38:01,695 --> 01:38:04,095
Lanny let me read the first chapter.
1402
01:38:04,297 --> 01:38:06,629
Vince sent me the second.
1403
01:38:09,236 --> 01:38:11,101
And you stole this.
1404
01:38:11,304 --> 01:38:12,703
To whet my appetite.
1405
01:38:37,230 --> 01:38:38,959
I wanna write.
1406
01:38:39,165 --> 01:38:41,065
I wanna be a journalist.
1407
01:38:41,701 --> 01:38:44,761
So I could eitheruse this information...
1408
01:38:45,605 --> 01:38:47,596
... or I could use a lot of money.
1409
01:38:47,807 --> 01:38:50,173
Is that why you killed her?
1410
01:38:51,444 --> 01:38:52,706
To protect them?
1411
01:39:00,053 --> 01:39:03,921
For 15 years...
1412
01:39:04,124 --> 01:39:07,184
... he tormented Vince and Lanny.
1413
01:39:10,764 --> 01:39:14,461
He could never blackmail Vincewhile Sally Sanmarco was alive...
1414
01:39:15,368 --> 01:39:19,737
... so he waited until Sally diedto activate his retirement plan:
1415
01:39:22,342 --> 01:39:25,402
A million dollars from Vince.
1416
01:39:26,179 --> 01:39:30,513
A million dollars for the same tapehe offered to me.
1417
01:39:35,422 --> 01:39:39,290
He would never get his money,and I would never see him again.
1418
01:39:45,331 --> 01:39:47,959
He had taken her life...
1419
01:39:48,168 --> 01:39:50,932
... and with it her mother's heart...
1420
01:39:51,604 --> 01:39:53,902
... and her father's mind.
1421
01:39:55,542 --> 01:39:57,032
And now...
1422
01:39:57,243 --> 01:40:00,474
... all that remainedof Maureen O'Flaherty...
1423
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:04,707
... was a treein her mother's garden.
1424
01:40:19,466 --> 01:40:22,697
Your daughter learned something
about Vince Collins...
1425
01:40:22,902 --> 01:40:25,530
...that he didn't want anyone to know.
1426
01:40:25,805 --> 01:40:27,500
Because of that...
1427
01:40:27,707 --> 01:40:29,265
...she was killed.
1428
01:40:29,476 --> 01:40:32,639
If it's of any small comfort,
she probably didn't suffer.
1429
01:40:33,246 --> 01:40:36,841
I want people
to know about this man.
1430
01:40:37,450 --> 01:40:40,248
I want them to know
why he killed her.
1431
01:40:45,592 --> 01:40:47,753
There is someone in all this...
1432
01:40:47,961 --> 01:40:50,054
...who is totally innocent
of any involvement...
1433
01:40:50,263 --> 01:40:52,163
...in the events of that night...
1434
01:40:52,365 --> 01:40:57,200
...but whose life will be made infinitely
worse if I tell the truth at this time.
1435
01:40:58,238 --> 01:41:01,765
I wanna protect this person
from any further pain.
1436
01:41:04,811 --> 01:41:06,779
I promise you...
1437
01:41:07,347 --> 01:41:10,839
I promise you I will write down
the truth that I've learned...
1438
01:41:11,050 --> 01:41:14,042
...but I have to let matters lie
until this person has died...
1439
01:41:14,254 --> 01:41:16,449
...and the truth
can no longer touch them.
1440
01:41:21,661 --> 01:41:24,755
I saw no indication on her face...
1441
01:41:24,964 --> 01:41:27,524
... that she knewI was talking about her.
1442
01:42:01,301 --> 01:42:03,895
You're a very special girl.
1443
01:42:12,045 --> 01:42:14,513
Forgive me.
1444
01:44:14,514 --> 01:44:17,314
