of a safety box.
They were left
to him and...
He needed money in a hurry,
and he used you to get 'em
into the country.
That little shit.
People have been trying
to kill me too.
Yeah, Larry told me
about the men in the boat.
Must be Shaheen.
Hasi's aunt?
Did you ever meet her?
Hard as nails.
She's got a deal
in escrow.
Major development
downtown.
Escrow closes in a week,
and she's gotta come up
with a bundle.
She called me
for a short-term loan,
a big one,
but, uh,
I didn't need the headache.
She mentioned that she might
take Hasi in as a partner,
if he could
raise enough cash.
She had to know
about the stones.
Wait a minute. This is all
about a real estate deal?
- She can have them.
I'll keep my mouth shut.
- A real estate deal?
Honey, you know enough
to get 'em locked up
or deported.
My wife sells real estate.
Not to mention blackmail
and murder.
It's not just the stones
anymore.
You're gonna have
to negotiate with Shaheen.
Negotiate?
Offer to sell her the stones.
She'll understand that.
- What about the Frenchman?
- What Frenchman?
Someone else who wants to kill us.
Well, whoever he is,
he can't possibly be
as dangerous as Shaheen.
- What do we do?
- Go around by my office.
The number's on the Rolodex.
- Shaheen Parvizi.
- Parvizi, right.
I'll just
wait outside.
Okay.
You get out of the country
and start again.
This'll probably be
the best thing that ever
happened to you, Peach.
I thought you hated me.
Bye. I'll miss you.
Take care, Peach.
I will.
Can we borrow a car?
Mr. Caper said
take any car you want.
This is nice.
The keys
are inside.
Be careful, huh?
See you at the airport.
Okay.
Banzai.
You've gotta go.
Mrs. Caper is really
pissed off.
Which one
is Mrs. Caper's car?
I'm not armed.
Those are not
for you.
Are they for me?
But only three.
For good faith.
- Whose good faith?
- Yours and mine.
- Where are the other three?
- Diana's hiding them as we speak.
- Where?
- I don't know.
- I should believe that?
Can I help you?
Wherever they are right now,
it'll be somewhere where they
can be discovered by anyone...
or destroyed,
so we don't have much time.
do you have the money?
At this bulk, Miss Bailey,
I can give you
a very good price.
Whatever it costs.
You only get married once.
Only when she's sure
about her safety, she'll call.
She'll tell you where they
can be found. You'll never
hear from her again.
Then you wait for the call
with me as long as it takes.
No, she makes the call
when we're reunited,
when I'm safe too.
You expect me to believe
you won't take the other half?
Good faith.
We could've taken them all.
How do you know she
has not already run away,
left you behind with me?
I don't. It's a risk
we'll both have to take.
This girl goes with anyone
who takes care ofher.
She gives herself away
like a fool.
She has nothing ofher own,
only what's given
or what she takes.
This is a foolish risk.
Right now
there's really no choice.
for you maybe.
Aren't they beautiful?
Oh, yes. Gorgeous.
Mrs. Parvizi will be by
to pick them up in a few hours.
All she wants is the money
and no more trouble.
- Who are you?
- That's all she wants.
Just what was promised her
and her safety.
- What about you?
- I'm just a friend.
A friend?
Of Jack Caper's too?
You drive his car.
What do you want?
She said she'd split
the money with me.
All this risk for $ 12,500?
No. Please.
- No, of course not.
- Then why?
The last thing you'd believe
is anything close to the truth.
The truth is...
I'm not sure I know.
Somebody had to help her.
I happened to be in the wrong place
at the right time.
- How much did Melville offer?
- The French guy?
we rejected his offer.
Twenty-five thousand
dollars is nothing.
I do not understand.
Okay, you give me
the money in cash.
when I see Diana, we'll call
and tellyou the location
ofthe other three stones.
It's simple.
Too simple.
why?
