Toss the bag on the seat and i won't blow your fucking head off. Are you kidding me? You can die laughing if you think so. Ain't gonna ask you again. Dumb ass! Hey! Hey, watch it! Pay attention, will ya? Ok. I was expecting 10 or maybe 15 grand. So what? We hit the jackpot! - What's wrong? - We gotta get out of Nevada, honey. That's what's wrong. You promised me we could go to Vegas! I don't think you understand the kind of people that we're dealing with, honey. You better listen to what I'm saying. I think we should head north for a while, maybe just hide out. Ok. We'll split the money fifty-fifty. You do what you want. I'm going to Las Vegas. Honey, don't fuck with me. Okay? Don't fuck with me. I'm not in the mood for it. You let me off with my half at the next bus stop. Cause I'm going to Vegas. - What did you say? - You heard. - Open the door, Fay. - No! Open the door and let me in! Open the door! Fuck you, Vince. Take your hand off the lock. Open the door! You ain't going anywhere without me. If I thought that money was gonna come between us, I'd just as soon burn it up. We're gonna stay together, baby. Right? Come on honey, I gotta take a piss. You can go by yourself. I've seen you do it before. Yeah, well, I like your company. Idaho. You're gonna love it there, baby. I know a little place, called Hell's Canyon. It's real peaceful up there. Lots of hunting, and fishing... We could hide out for six months, maybe a year. Who knows? Maybe we'll never come back? Yeah. I bet you're starting to get hungry, huh? Guess we won't be going to Hell's Canyon after all,huh Vince? JACK ANDREWS PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR Jesus, Jack. Got anything here that's worth a shit? Hey, there's nothing in there.

You gotta pay it back. Ten grand. Next Wesnesday. Don't fuck it up. Can you believe this? At her age! You know, I'd never try to change what I was dealt to begin with. Would you? - I hope I don't live long enough to worry about it. - You got a good point there. - Now, check out time is 11, hon. - Ok. - Could I borrow that? - Oh, go ahead. I don't read 'em anyway. Thanks. Daddy! Daddy, there's a man in the bathroom! - See! - Are you alright?

INVESTIGATORS JACK ANDREWS PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR "Wife Fakes Death and Disappears with Hubby's Money" Well, how about Holback Chapel, any of those guys ever pay up? Those deadbeats are even broker than you are, if that's possible. Aww! Leave it, Teri, leave it. What difference does it make? Hey, look. What about that place in Maine? Huh. Where you and Kathy used to go. What's it called, uh... Something "Harbor?" "Safe Harbor." Yeah, Safe Harbor. Reno's eaten away at you, for Christ's sake. There's nothing here for you anymore. Happy anniversary. Can I help you? I'm, uh, looking for Mr. Andrews. That's me. And you're Mrs.... Miss. Fay Forester. Come in. The work you do is totally confidential, isn't that right? That's right. It's guaranteed. Well... There's a man. We were, uh... involved in a relationship. He's not right in the head. He's trying to kill me. I see. I don't love him anymore. I tried to make that clear to him, but he won't accept it. and he won't leave me alone. See, there's no one to protect me from him. My folks are both passed away. I don't have any other family. There's no one I can turn to. - And you've tried talking to the police? - I can't prove anything. - They can't arrest the guy unless he murders me. - And what do you want me to do? I want you to kill me. I mean... - I wanna make it look like I've been killed. - That's a bit extreme, isn't it? Look. I made a... I made a real mess out of things. I...I want Fay Forester to die, so I can take on a new identity. Is that too much to ask? It's not that easy. What you want me to do...is illegal. It's a kind of fraud. This man is gonna kill me! You think I care about fraud? I'm just saying that it's not without a lot of risk. I'll pay you ten thousand dollars. Half now. The other half after I'm dead. That's a lot of money to be carrying around. Please, Mr. Andrews. I can't sleep at night. I'm scared all the time. The next time he finds me... You have to help me! Ms. Forester, are you telling me the truth? This is from the last time I saw him. Ten thousand's plenty. I'll take half now, and the other half when the job's done. Plus expenses. - So you'll do it? - Yeah. Thank you. There's no guarantee it'll work, and you're gonna have to be honest with me. Of course. I don't know, Jack. Something about it don't seem right. You think this girl is telling you the truth? No. You should see her. Anyway, her money's green either way. Look, just cause you'd stick your neck out for a skirt in trouble, that don't mean that I have to. You interested or not? Take it easy, I'm just saying that you got this nice guy complex. This whole thing with Kathy. Sometimes you act like an asshole. Great. I got a piano salesman for a psychiatrist. - Only difference is I give advice for free. - Alan, it's just a job. You in or not? Yeah. What the hell, what's the worst that could happen? - When do I start? - Right now. I need a pint of Type A negative blood. Seriously? And, will that be a single or a double? I'd like a double bed. But I'm single. Ok, um... Soba broj 15. Room 15.

Wish you coulda joined me. What's that? Blood. Same type as yours. How'd you get blood? It's not that hard. This is the part I've been waiting for. The murderer probably came here, and had a few drinks with you. Go ahead. The cops love lipstick and fingerprints. So... You were probably there, on the bed, and... he was here, uh... Yeah? And he probably made a pass at me. Come here. Yeah. Probably drunk, and... tried to rough you up. Yeah, but I tried to fight him off. Show me how. We gotta make it look real. You can do better than that, Jack. You gotta do a good job. This is costing me a lot of money. Come on, rip it! Ja sam se estoko branila. I put up a wicked fight. And then, the murderer gets tired of wrestling. And decides... to kill the bitch, and take her money. Exhibit A. Wanna put some on me? I gotta put some holes in your dress, first. Wouldn't it be easier if I took my dress off? Sorry! I always wondered what it'd be like to die a really violent death. Well, now you know. Yeah. Just lie there like you're dead. - You left everything in here? - Mm-hmm. Except my car keys, which you have. Don't laugh. You're dead. - What are you doing? - Putting you in the trunk. Shh! Quiet! We did it, huh? I can't wait to start being Vera Billings. - You're still gonna have to be careful. - Yeah, I know. You know... I gotta tell you something. When I first met you, I thought you were a loser. - Why'd you hire me? - Why'd you take the job? Anyway, I was wrong. You make a great murderer. Why don't you come over to my room when you get back? I'll pay you the rest of your cash. - We'll celebrate. - It'll take me a couple of hours to go to the lake and back. I don't mind. DEEPWATER INDIAN RESERVATION Jesus! I'm sorry.

"A suspect, Reno private investigator Jack Andrews, was arrested in connection with the alleged murder..."

That ain't gonna be too good for business, is it, Jack? So, you think she set you up, or what? She wouldn't set me up, I'd blow her whole scheme. There had to be some minor connection. Unless she wanted people to think that she was trying to be dead... I don't care what she's trying to pull. She owes me and I'm gonna collect. Oh, man, you hear what you're saying? Listen to you! Jack, blow it off. You leave town and Hendricks is gonna send you to jail. Then I'll do the 30 days and pay the fine. I want you to check all the hotels in Vegas.

They'll check out my name... they'll find out other things. What things, Fay? Vince stole the money, and I stole it from Vince. These guys in Winemuka, they were working for the mob. Stealing money from casinos somehow. Vince killed one of them. I was there. It was awful. The other guy was the one who was just in the hotel room. So we took off. I tried to get away, but he'd have killed me for sure! So, I... ... Later, he fell asleep, and I hit him. I hit him on the head. I wanted to tell you the truth before, but how could I? I don't want to go to jail, Jack! I'll die in there! Is that what you want? - Yes, sir? - Is everything okay here, folks? Yes, she's just...a little upset. - Okay. - Thanks. Fay. We're here.

I used to work in insurance, i found it. It's called, "Safe Harbor." I was married. She died, and, and, uh... - I never wanted to stay in Reno, but... - Shit! I never wanted to stay in Reno. She and I thought we'd go there. There's some really beautiful houses along the coast. I think it'd be a good place for us. - You want me to go with you to Maine? - Why not? I figure you and I have a chance to start over. Most people don't get that second chance. - You really feel that way about me? - No. - I think you're a greedy, two-faced bitch. - What?! There's no reason I should trust you- but I want to. If you're straight with me, maybe we could help each other. What do you say? Two suspects have been identified in yesterday's brutal slaying in a Hilton Hotel room... ...of Stanley Jones, son-in-law of prominent Las Vegas businessman William Maranot. Police are searching for a woman using the name Virginia Billingsly. The male suspect has been identified as Jack Andrews, a resident of Reno. A manhunt for these suspects is currently underway... ...and roadblocks have been set up at checkpoints around the state. Anyone having information that could help the investigation should call the Neva- Maranot's only the biggest crime family in Nevada, Fay. - Let's just get out of here. - Roadblocks! We couldn't get 20 miles. We couldn't get 20 miles. You know what to do, Jack. Kill me. Kill me again. You did it before! You could do it again. We could die together. - "Stage" Studio. - Hi Alan, it's me. Jack. Everybody's looking for you. - Yeah, well. I'm gonna fix things. - Wait, wait, how can I find you? Listen, I'm not going to be here long anyway. It doesn't matter. Well, where are you going, man? Uh, it's not important. What about your place? All your stuff's gonna get trashed. - You've been evicted. - I don't care about any of that stuff. Listen, if you can get any of it, it's yours. Are you doing this for her?

Hey, wait! Jack! - Jack! - Take it easy. Goodbye. Yes, this is the operator. Operator, uh, could you tell me where that call originated from? Yes, it was from Overton, Nevada. Overton? Thanks. Overton. Lake Mead. I figure we gotta swim about 200 yards to the shore. It's perfect because it's one of the deepest parts of the lake. It's gonna make a pretty good escape route. Here we are. This is it. Yeah. That's Indian Rock. See. I'll show you. Right here. This is where I'll sink the boat. They'll search and search for us for months, but they'll never find us. The debris coming up, that can only mean one thing. Of course, like I say, we'll have a healthy swim to the shore. And then about, uh, a five mile hike up to the drop point. Five miles? You'll make it. Drop point's up there. And at that point, we'll pick up the money and the supplies we need to make the last leg of the hike. - Where do we hide the money? - We bury it, along with the supplies. Right here. On Indian Land. We hike We'll buy a used car in Dalton for cash. It was a lot easier last time. Well, this time it's for keeps. We faked the whole thing, man! She's not-- she's not really dead. She's not dead. Yeah, well, I knew she wasn't dead. She's with your friend. - Isn't she? Isn't she? - I don't know, I swear, man. - Huh? - I think so, I don't know. Don't lie to me, Al. I don't like to be lied to. I'm going alone, Fey. - What? - I'll bury the money, and the stuff. And be back in a couple of hours. - It'll be safer that way. - I wanna go! You wanna go? Why? Because... - I'm afraid. - Afraid? Of what? I'm afraid you won't come back. Don't you trust me? - You don't have to take the money. - Trust me. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Ok. You better come back, you son of a bitch. - Where the fuck are they? - I don't know, man. Fuck, man! Leave me alone! I don't know, man! I'm not asking you again. Where are they? Fuck! You son of a bitch! You know, you got a whole pack of these...swishy cigarettes. That's a whole pack, man. So you better start talking to me. Overton! He called from Overton, man. That's all I know, I swear. Well, where the fuck is Overton? Huh? Where's Overton? It's up by Lake Mead, on the northern tip. Ok, Al. Betcha can't wait to get out of that chair, can you? Relax.
