That was fine.
David!
I can make him
more psychotic.
It was fine.

Well, I appreciate
all your help, Ed.
I'll get you to the phone,
and you can call a taxi.
I'm fine now. Thanks, really.

Thank you.
You're welcome.

Good to seeyou, Di.

It's a hidden pocket.
[Diana Laughs ]
- Thanks.
- For what?
- Is there a phone I can use?
- Use the one in Bud's office.
He's on the set right now.
I don't think he'll mind.
This won't take long.
{ Woman On Phone }
Hello.
I'm sorry,
I must speak to Jack.

Miss Diana,
whoever you are--
I'm a friend of Jack's.
I don't give a good goddamn!

Whoever you are,
you better not hang up
on me this time.
This is his wife.
Don't call back ever!
{ Line Disconnects }

His wife?
She probably lives there.

Not for years.
They barely speak.
{ Sighs }
Bizarre.

Go ahead.
{ Dialing }
[DoorOpening]
I'm sorry, you folks are
gonna have to leave now.
- We're friends of Bud Herman's.
- Mr. Herman sent me over.
He wants you to leave now.
Fine.
We're going.
What about my cab?
I'll take you to your car.
Let's just
get out of here.
do you know where downtown
they take the cars?
I've gotta get ahold
of Hamid. Shit.
do you know where to go?
No, I don't know.
I don't know what I'm doing.
We're going to find my car.
Would you help me, please?
Just a little more.
No! I've gotta go home.
No more.
I've got problems
of my own to deal with.
How do you think I feel?
You're all I've got.
Well, that's hard
to believe.
You're tellin' me.
if you want any more
help from me, I wanna
know what's going on.
You wanna know
what's going on?
Yes.
All right.
Have a seat.
Okay.
They killed him.
- killed who?
- Hasi.
"Hasi"?
In the parking lot.
I-- I was with him.
He was waiting for me.
The stones were his.
- We have to get the police.
- No, I can't. I smuggled them in.
- What stones?
- Six perfect emeralds.
They're priceless.
They killed this guy
for six emeralds?
How'd you get involved in all this?
The stones are from the scepter
of an ancient Persian king.
Remember when the Shah fell
and the royal family fled Iran?
The treasury was looted.
Somebody got away with
a good part ofthe crown jewels.
Hasi was "somebody's" cousin.
Um... he was gonna
give me $25,000.
So I went to Zurich.
I went to a vault.
