Gentlemen, you are about to enter the most fascinating sphere of police work, the world
of forensic medicine.
Everybody goes to the tank, better learn how to swim.
It reminds me of that championship five years ago.
The first swan dive on his back.
Thank you.
That was Beethoven's fear the least.
I heard it when I was a little girl and since it means for Elizabeth, I thought it had been
written for me.
Sometimes I still do.
Elizabeth, I want you to meet some people.
Yesterday was unbelievable.
What happened?
You see what happened with this friend.
I can't wait to throw that in.
Hey, what's the big idea?
Do you have to bring those hoodlums here?
Those are my friends.
I know who they are and I know you're making deals with them.
Do you have to do it while I'm playing?
What do you mean?
We're just talking.
You ruined the whole performance.
My one chance to show people I can do something besides manage a club.
Oh, I'm sorry, baby.
Come here, you pretty thing.
Come on, baby.
Relax.
You're my wife for crying out loud.
What's the cold shoulder?
I'm going home.
Go home then.
I'll sleep here.
Maybe I'll get lucky.
Whatever makes you happy.
You're going to have to master's touch.
That's what makes it happen.
Excuse me, master, but you're messing up my table.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Thanks.
So it's better on the floor?
Boy, oh boy.
That club up on the corner.
It's going up like a tinderbox.
Hessler's?
Yeah.
That might be injured Senesco.
I'm a doctor.
Is anybody in there?
No, I don't think so.
The whole place is all closed up.
Listen, thanks for stopping, Doc.
But if anybody had to be in there, they'd be long past your help now.
How long have we been in there?
About 15 minutes.
We got here as fast as we can.
This building's gone.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to go get a drink.
He was my husband.
And he could be very kind.
That's why I married him.
I played for him in one of his clubs.
Somehow he heard that my father was ill and needed surgery.
Who had him flown east and had the surgery performed by the top specialist.
My father was a wonderful man.
He taught me to appreciate the beautiful things in life.
Music, art, poetry.
I was so grateful to Lou.
When he wanted to marry me, take care of us, I said yes.
You've been through a lot for somebody so young, haven't you?
I think it's made me strong.
You know, this is crazy.
What?
I didn't even know you until a half hour ago.
And here I am telling you the story of my life.
I'm glad.
You got a minute?
Sure, Zach. For you anything?
It's about the Hessler report.
Which?
Hessler, the guy who bought it in the fire last night.
I found this file on my desk this morning.
You assigned me, didn't you?
Yeah, sure, right, I guess. Gave you a bunch of stuff. What's the problem?
No problem. I think we ought to look into it a little more.
I'll come.
Well, Hessler wasn't exactly an angel, you know. He had a lot of enemies.
Stop sounding like a cop. If the police want to investigate, let them.
Hey, look, we got a heavy policy on this guy.
There's a couple questions I'd like to ask.
Like, what was he doing in there all by himself last night, huh?
And how come he couldn't get out of the ground floor when the fire broke out?
Questions like that.
Zach, I'm starting to worry about you.
You're too old to play detective every time you get a funny feeling about a case.
Okay, fine. If you wanted this shop 500 big ones, that's okay by me.
I didn't tell you. We're punching up the premium rates a few cents this quarter.
We won't even notice a claim like that.
I still say it feels hinky.
Look, for the sake of your health, please, would you start taking it just a little bit easy?
Routine investigation, is that it?
That's it. You know, check it out. Get the autopsy report. The usual stuff.
Okay, Morris. Anything you say.
You've been seeing Lou Chesler, as he's had more shady deals than an awning company.
Vice has been tracking for years. Vice, narcotics, even homicide.
Well, it looks like somebody finally got to him.
Calling a murder before we do an autopsy?
You bet I am. I'll bet you at steak dinner you'll find bullet holes in Donnie.
I hope not. That'd be pretty rough on his wife.
How would you know?
I met her last night. She doesn't seem the type of gal that would be married to a gangster.
Well, the Chesler always liked young girls. You got as much money as him, you can buy anything you want.
She's not that type. Did she ever meet her?
No.
You ever talk to her?
No.
Then how do you get off making a judgment like that?
Oh, come on, Quincy. A girl like that, easy come, easy go. I've met a million of them.
Oh, have you? Well, I happen to think you're wrong this time.
She's a lovely, sensitive girl that's had a pretty rough time of it.
Why don't you find out what you're talking about before you make sweeping character assassinations like that?
Geez, what a nice set.
If you don't mind, I have work to do. I'll get back to you after the autopsy.
Who's in there hands?
Quincy.
This is Elizabeth Chesler.
Oh, hello, Elizabeth. What is it? What's wrong?
Well, I'm sorry to bother you, but I didn't know who else to call.
A man was here, an insurance investigator.
They don't waste any time, do they?
Zakarian. His name was Zakarian.
And he told me I'm the beneficiary on Lou's insurance policy.
Honestly, I didn't even know Lou had taken one out.
Well, there's nothing wrong with that.
According to Mr. Zakarian, he made all sorts of innuendos.
Like what?
Well, he hinted there was foul play and that I was responsible for it.
Listen, don't let that upset you.
I deal with insurance companies all the time.
And some of them would accuse their own mothers rather than pay off a claim.
Yes, but if the fire was started by someone, I mean, if Lou was murdered, everyone will think that I...
No, they won't. Not anyone who knows you anyway.
Look, I was about to do the autopsy. As soon as I get the results, I'll call you.
And don't worry. Bye-bye.
I'd say there's no question he was dead before the fire started.
Of course, you'll have to verify that when you run the carbon monoxide level.
But look, there's no soot in the lungs. He stopped breathing before there was any smoke.
Yeah, and there's no evidence of injury. No gunshot, no knife wounds, not even an injection site.
There are signs of arteriosclerosis.
Coronary arteries are about 50% occluded. That's not unusual for a man his age. It could be a heart attack, though.
Oh, come on, Quince. The heart muscles are in good shape. There's no sign of an infarct or any other damage.
And you can't rule out toxic substances or an overdose until I've run the toxicology. Of course not.
If the tests come back negative, I'd say we're dealing with a simple case of cardiac failure.
But put a rush on it, will you? I want to clean this case up as quickly as possible.
Okay.
Oh! Oh, my goodness, you startled me.
I'm sorry. I was anxious to bring you the news myself. Your husband died of natural causes of cardiac arrest.
You know, he'd been complaining about pains in his chest the last few months.
Really? Was it end of doctor's care?
Yes, but I... I don't know who. You see, Wade didn't share much.
Now, the important thing is there won't be an investigation.
Oh, well, that is cause to celebrate, isn't it?
Well... there.
What's this for? Oh, just a little something. I couldn't resist.
Can I open it? Oh, sure, sure.
Oh, how beautiful. You really like it?
I love it. When I heard the sound, it kind of reminded me of you.
I'm gonna hang it right outside my bedroom window.
Does it seem ghoulish that I should feel so good? Oh, no.
Lou lived a dangerous life. That was his choice.
But I lived in fear all the time.
And now it's gone, and... and I feel safe for the first time in so long.
And that makes me want to celebrate.
And I'm glad you're here to do it with me.
It's just a hunch.
There isn't much to go on. That's why I wanted to check out these ashes that I got from the seed of the fire.
Aaron's the carrion. Sometimes your hunches keep me busier than my real work.
Hey, I'll buy you dinner someday, okay?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. With all the dinners you owe me, I could cater a banquet.
You hit it right on the nose. What do you got?
Potassium permanganate. That's a powerful oxidizing agent.
Mix it with the right fuel, and you could burn down the coliseum.
Is there any other reason why it should be found in these ashes?
No reason I can think of.
Then a professional torched it. This fire was no accident. It was arson.
And there's only one person I can think of that has a solid motor.
Where's Quincy?
He's dressing.
Dressing? Oh, ho, ho, ho. Third time this week. Same girl, huh?
Doesn't look like he's getting ready to play poker with Danny.
Pretty fancy, Quincy.
Latest thing. Elizabeth helped me to choose it. You like it?
Well, it's cheerful.
That's a good word. No reason not to put some pizzazz in my lip. What are you doing?
Look at the lining. Look at the lining. Look at the lining.
What is it?
Well, it just looks like it should be borrowing your father's car to go to the prom.
I mean, it's a little youthful.
Youthful? What do you mean youthful? He talks like I got one foot in the grave.
No, I just... I'll have you know that in most species it's the male who is the most colorful.
He's the one who wears the bright plumage.
Well, where are you and your plumage going?
To the opera.
To the opera?
Again with the surprise. Yeah, to the opera. Do you mind?
She's reminding me of some of the finer things in life.
Listen, I think that's terrific. What are you going to do for her?
I'm going to teach her about some of the rougher things in life.
I'm taking her to Danny's for dinner. See you guys later.
Have a good time, Quincy.
So this is your idea of buying me dinner?
What are you talking about? Ernie makes the best sub-me sandwiches in the city.
This is gourmet quality.
Yeah, well, do me a favor. Well, yeah, don't roam around the lab this time.
I cleaned off this spot. Just stay put.
I don't want any more lettuce in my standard solution.
Okay.
You know, I can't stop thinking about that Chesley case.
How come?
Well, we both know the job was torched, right?
Right.
Now, the reason people set fires is to collect insurance money.
But the payout on this building wouldn't pay for the chemicals used to burn it.
However, there was a whopping big life insurance policy involved here.
Now, I ask you, what's the motive?
To cover up a murder.
Right. But the official verdict was that the guy died of a heart attack.
Is there something you can slip a guy that doesn't have to be injected or wouldn't show on a tox?
Yeah, I guess some of the cardiac drugs.
Digitalis, Digoxin. They could put somebody into an arrhythmia.
Or they could just stop the heart cold.
Would it show on a toxicology?
Nope, not these drugs. You need a special test. Radio-Immuno-Assay.
Radio-Immuno-what?
Radio-Immuno-Assay.
You better write it down so I know what I'm asking.
I always said you were the salt of the earth.
Well, there's no salt like an old salt.
Be careful they don't get you for assault and battery.
Aw, now you're adding insult to injury.
Terrific joke. Don't mess up the table.
Oh, I'm sorry. I've got it.
Okay.
Good luck.
Where you all dressed up?
We've been to the opera.
To the opera?
Yeah.
Yes, and he loved it.
I sure did. And to cap off a perfect evening, we went to your famous pastrami sandwiches.
Pastrami sandwich in the opera?
Doctors.
Did you watch that game yesterday?
Yeah, I sure did.
Can you believe with two men on and a tying runner at base, they pinched at a rookie when they got Hogan on a bench?
And Hogan's hitting 300, although he does have a bad leg.
He doesn't hit with his legs, they send in a runner.
Instead they put a pinch hitter who's been a bat five times in a major. They deserve to lose.
I know Hogan's not such a good bet as a pinch hitter.
He's a great two outs, nobody on hitter, hits for average.
But you can never count on him to drive in the runs.
And that rookie Canaris led the miners in RBI's last year.
You're right. Hogan's RBI's never did match his batting average.
He clutches under pressure.
You did all right. I'll take care of your sandwiches.
For you. A little Italian mustard.
Thank you very much.
You're an expert on baseball too?
Got it from my father. He started taking me to ball games as soon as I was old enough to hold my own beer.
Is there anything about yourself you haven't told me?
Well did I mention that I'm absolutely unbeatable at gin rummy?
No, you didn't.
Well I am.
Oh yeah?
Yeah.
We'll see about that.
Gin.
Gin? What is it with you?
You play the piano, you paint, you're a gourmet cook, you know more about baseball than I do and now you beat me at gin?
Are you good at everything?
Yes. I am.
Good morning. Beautiful day, isn't it?
Who are you?
Zakarian. Ham Zakarian. Nice to meet you Dr. Quincy.
You got the insurance investigation?
Oh you heard of me, huh?
Yeah, I also heard you accused bereaved widows of murder.
I don't accuse anybody unless I'm sure.
What are you doing on that boat?
Well, our company got your autopsy report. We didn't like what we read.
Well that's too bad. You'll either have to learn to live with it or find yourself a new medical exam.
I'm afraid we have to go with what we got.
Then you'll just have to make the best of it, won't you?
I intend to.
Good.
What do you know about her?
I know that she's a lovely, warm person. She comes from a good family.
Did she tell you that?
That's what she told me, yeah.
Her father was a cheap hood. He was into vice and gambling. Did she tell you how he died?
She said he had a bad heart.
He died of insulin shock when she was 15. Somebody substituted concentrated insulin for a normal dosage.
What are you doing now? Accusing her of murdering her own father?
No, no, no. I told you. I don't accuse unless I'm sure. I'm just discussing it.
A short while later she married Willie Sullivan.
Six months later he dies of carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty space heater in a mountain cabin.
He was insured for 25,000. She collected 50, double indemnity.
After she spent that, she married Lou Chesler. He gets burned up in a fire.
What kind of points do you expect to score showing to this?
Well, first of all, I want you to check Lou Chesler's body for de-joxing.
Two. I want to warn you, Dr. Quincy. You're on the wrong side.
Good morning.
Here, show her this. That should make for some interesting conversation.
What did he want?
He wanted to tell me about your father and about Willie Sullivan.
He also wanted me to do another test on your husband for de-joxing. That's a cardiac drug.
I know what de-joxing is. Lou was taking it.
He was.
I told you he was complaining about pains around his chest.
I must have forgotten.
Did you? Or is it that you just don't believe me?
Well, you haven't been exactly completely honest with me, have you?
I knew it. I knew he'd ruin everything between us.
Is it true?
Is what true? That my father was a sensitive and educated man?
No, that's not true. That he died of heart failure? No, no, that's not true.
That I'm a murderer? No, that is not true.
That I have a police record? Yes, that's true.
That I was against an immoral war and marched with radicals and was crucified for it
with these lies and false accusations is also true.
I was young then and impulsive, but let me tell you something. I'm not ashamed of what I did.
What else did he tell you?
He hinted that you were responsible for your father's death.
Yes, my father was murdered, but I hadn't seen him in over two months.
He moved in with that woman and started welching on his payments.
He'd been drinking and they must have killed him.
And Willie Sullivan?
Do you want to know what kind of man Willie Sullivan was?
Six months after we were married, he sold me.
I was only 17 years old and I wish I could have killed him. I wish I'd had known.
No, no, no.
Let's forget about Sullivan and your father and Zakarian.
Let's just remember that we love each other.
But we can't run away.
Don't you see?
Zakarian won't let us.
If he can't get you to do the test, he'll just get someone else.
And if they find out the Jocks and they'll think I've killed him, they won't know I didn't.
No, no, no.
It's Saturday. There's nobody at the lab.
I'll go down and run the tests myself.
I'll take care of everything.
Everything.
No.
I think you're the most beautiful person I've ever known.
Puzzle.
Puzzle.
To Jocks, sir.
Poor baby.
Poor, poor baby.
Morning, Quincy.
Morning.
Do you have the liver and spleen from the Chessler case?
Yes, I do. Why?
Well, people's insurance is requesting a radio-immuno assay for digitalization.
Why, cardiac drugs?
Hey, my guest, you're in the medicine.
Okay.
Is it all right if he works on it?
Well, I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.
I wouldn't want to be accused of collusion.
Collusion? What are you talking about?
Zakarian is just asking for a simple test.
It's well within the company's rights.
Yeah.
Sam, would you get to it as soon as you can?
You can give Mr. Zakarian the results when you get them.
Okay, but it'll take me a while.
I will.
This is Zakarian. It's almost noon. How about I buy you lunch?
You buy me lunch?
Yeah, I know a terrific place. You're going to love the food.
Come on.
This is it?
I didn't promise you the rent.
Why do I have the feeling that the Cobra's having lunch with the Mongols?
Oh, I'm sorry. I was rude to you.
Want some coffee?
Black, please.
What's good?
Hand sandwich.
Chili, if you don't mind the heartburn.
You called me by surprise. I'm glad you're thorough.
Even though I think you're wrong. I mean, dead wrong.
What'd you get?
Hand sandwich.
It's fine.
Do you mind a little advice?
No, no, no.
Get the stardust out of your eyes, doctor, before you find yourself walking off a cliff.
You'll have to visit the hospital.
You'll have to forgive me, Mr. Zakarian. All I can see is a remarkable woman.
No, doc, I'm dead serious.
As long as she needs you, she'll be like melted frosting.
And when it's over, watch your step, because she is remarkable.
She's as good as they come.
You really think she's guilty, don't you?
Call it a sixth sense, and I'm seldom wrong.
And if I were you, doc, I'd be very, very careful.
You're really worried about me, aren't you?
Well, can't the Cobra admire the Mongols?
That defies all laws of consistency.
J, doc, what a food in here stinks.
Let me ask you something.
What would it take to convince you that you're wrong about Elizabeth?
Three less murders.
Oh, come on. I'm talking about right now Lou Hessler with no assumptions.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
If you don't find the Jackson in Lou Hessler's body, I'll drop the case, okay?
You will?
Absolutely.
But first, you gotta promise me you'll take me someplace decent to eat next time, okay?
How's it going, Sam?
Just finished. You can read the results.
Just like I figured.
What's that mean?
The test is negative. There's not a trace of the jocks in Mr. Chesley's body.
Is that right?
Yes, it is. There's no indication of a cardiac drug or any other drug. It's clean.
Come on, Mr. Zakarian. Don't take it so hard.
Everybody has hunches that don't pay off.
Sam, I gotta go out for a minute. I'll be back soon.
Okay.
I would have bet my cat on this one.
I've had him for 12 years.
Paula, do you know if Mrs. Chester's at home?
She sure is.
What are you doing under there?
I'm changing the oil filter.
Didn't I ever tell you that I'm a pretty fair auto mechanic?
No, you didn't.
Oh, well, I can't rebuild an engine or anything like that, but I can change the oil, gap the plugs, set the timing.
I'm lucky if I can find my spare.
If you get any more independent, you're not gonna need me.
Don't say that. That could never be true.
I just left Zakarian. He requested the test today. Sam ran it, and it was negative.
But how?
Never mind. It was negative.
Zakarian promised to drop the entire investigation. It'll never bother you again.
You did this for me, didn't you?
Hey, I love you, you remember?
But if anybody finds out...
Nobody's gonna find out anything because I'm the only one who knows anything. Me. Nobody else but me.
And I'm not doing any talking.
Okay, you're the doctor.
Okay. The doctor prescribes dinner at Danny's tonight at seven. I'll meet you there.
Okay.
Don't be afraid, love. Watch some of the grease off with you.
Evening. You look very nice.
You wouldn't be slipping off to meet Dr. Quincy, would you now?
Mr. Zakarian, it's none of your business what I do or where I go.
And if you don't stop harassing me, I'll be forced to call the police.
Excuse me, ma'am. They're not your friends. And Dr. Quincy isn't one of your gangster paramours.
He loves me. And I love him.
Oh. Funny thing about romance. It has a way of going sour.
Sooner or later, the good doctor's gonna drift back to earth...
and he's gonna realize the price he has to pay for tampering with evidence.
And when that happens, Mrs. Chesler, you're on borrowed time...
because he's gonna nail you right smack to the wall.
If you're here when I get back, I will call the police.
I'm sorry.
Honey. Here.
It's not look like the grease monkey anymore.
What's the matter?
He was there at my house, Zakarian.
What? He promised. He said he was gonna drop the case.
He'll never leave me alone. He'll keep after me. And after me until he...
Easy, easy. Now take it easy. Come on, Driss.
I've just got to get away from him. Even if it's for a little while.
Where you going?
I've got a cabin up in the mountains. I'm gonna leave in the morning.
How long will you be gone?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know? Hey, I'll go with you.
You can't do that. You're working.
Are you kidding? I've got so much time coming to me.
Aston's afraid I'm gonna charge him for it. He'll be glad to see me use it.
Yes, but we can't go away together. It'll only arouse suspicion.
I'll tell him I'm going away alone. He'll know the difference.
Are you sure?
Sure. I'm positive. Then we'll get some exotic food and some wine.
We'll have a... I need a vacation. Okay?
Okay?
Okay.
Sam.
Yeah?
Craig's gonna have to put in a little more work.
Quincey just called in and now he says he's sick.
Oh?
Bob's sick.
Leaving town to recuperate for a whole week.
No kidding. Where's he going?
I don't know. He doesn't tell me. I'm just the boss.
Sick people stay in bed. Well people leave town for a week.
Oh, Dr. Aston?
That's not the only thing that's weird around here.
Really?
Yeah. We've been rerunning some specimens that we ran before, but the strange part of it is the results are totally different.
Well, what control did you use?
The controls were okay, but now this material shows no dejection.
Sam ran it the first time it was loaded.
Hey, wait a minute. You know, this is a different batch of saline than the one I used the first time.
Sam, when you ran the radioimmunoassay on the Chester case, what did you use to prepare the sample?
This one. The same saline Mark's using.
Do we still have Chester's body?
No, but why do we...
Was there something a little strange going on?
Dr. Aston, you're not saying Quincy deliberately.
Sam, I'm not saying anything. Just get me the body. We're gonna have a long night.
Hi.
All set?
Perfect timing. I just sent this package. You got the food?
I bought enough supplies for a month. We'll gain ten pounds if we eat everything I bought.
I thought we were gonna rough it. Foraging for food and living off berries.
My idea of roughing it is champagne for breakfast and fillets at night.
Sounds a lot better than berries. Let's go.
That's incredible. Just look at that.
This guy was loaded with jokers and enough to kill an elephant.
I just can't believe that Quince would deliberately alter a test.
I can't believe it either, Sam. But if he did, we know the reason why, don't we?
That's like throwing away his entire career to cover for us.
I'm not worried about his career. I'm worried about his life.
You know what the Carrion said?
Now, if Elizabeth was the kind of a woman that could kill her own husband, then...
I think the sooner I call my hand the better.
It's not gonna do any good.
She never told anybody where he's going.
Wow. You know, you're absolutely right. The drive was worth it. It's charming.
I haven't been here in ages. I hope it's all right in there.
Forget the axe. Stop pouring the wine, will you?
What do you want these for?
Just set them right down where you are.
Surprise, surprise.
I guess I am.
I figured if you were guilty, you wouldn't have made a move so quickly.
Well, you can blame Zacarian for that.
He pushed me into moving a little faster than I wanted.
So you knew all along, huh?
Not for sure. Not till now.
Well, it doesn't make any difference, does it?
I'm free and clear.
It might have been anyway.
Not if Zacarian got me in front of a grand jury.
He didn't know anything. He was overanxious.
He didn't have any evidence. He didn't even know about the dejection.
Yes, but you did.
Only I didn't know how it got into your husband's body.
Oh, how I wanted to believe your story that the doctor had given it to him.
I didn't want you to be punished for anything you didn't do.
But if you were guilty, the dejection wasn't enough evidence to convict you.
And I had to be sure.
That's why I set myself up as the only person who could put you away.
Now, thanks.
Okay, doctor. Maybe we'd better take a little nature hike.
And keep your hands off.
Adam, round back.
Smart man. Gave me some advice about Elizabeth. I never should have ignored it.
Ignore the sub right there.
You fool, Alex. She kills every man who touches her life.
She uses them like she throws them away.
Well, maybe she used you. But she never used me.
Freeze! I got you in a cross-hairs, Junior! You're free to your death!
You look like you're almost glad to see me.
Alex darling?
Alex darling's on his way to jail.
I'm glad. I'm glad.
He killed Lou. And he started the fire.
And then he made me go along with it.
He said if I didn't, that he'd kill me too.
Elizabeth, cut it out. Please stop.
Please, please hear me out.
You said you loved me. All I ask is that you listen.
What I have to say isn't pretty.
But it's the absolute truth.
And you're the only man on this earth I'd ever tell it to.
Yes, I did kill Willie. And my father.
But no two men ever deserved to die more than they did.
My father beat my mother. Every day I can remember.
Until one day, she committed suicide.
And then he tried to do the same thing to me.
But you were too tough. Yes, I was too tough.
But I don't want to be tough anymore.
All I ever wanted was to be loved by someone like you.
Someone gentle and kind and loving.
I love you. You're the only man I've ever loved.
And you said you loved me too.
I do love you.
Then nothing's changed.
We'll go to Cozumel, my place in Mexico.
I have all the money we'll ever need.
So call, darling. Call and make the reservations.
Let me speak to Lieutenant Monahan, please.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Did you know we were in the mountains?
After I set you up, I didn't leave her alone for a minute.
Oh, that's terrific. You set me up, I set myself up.
It's one I didn't end up in the grave.
You sure we're taking a big risk?
Well, I had to find out if she was innocent or guilty.
I had to take that risk.
Hey, Quince, show Mr. Sicario how you can balance the salt shaker.
Oh, he doesn't want to see me do that.
He doesn't want to see the salt shaker.
Sure I do. What do you think I followed you to the mountains for?
The famous balancing salt shaker act.
I've been hearing about it for weeks.
Come on, Quince, show him.
Okay, watch it. There he goes.
I always said you were the salt of the earth.
Better be careful they don't get you for assault and battery.
I just want to be loved by someone like you.
Someone loving and compassionate and gentle.
Of all sad words, tongue and pen, the saddest are these, it might have been.
Well, can't do it tonight.
Guess I lost my touch.
