00:09:59Yeah, everything's at the house.
00:10:00My mother's got a feast for you.
00:10:01We got pasta, sconji...
00:10:03Hey, Joey, I want to make a stop before we go.
00:10:05Yeah, where to?
00:10:07I want to go to the cemetery to see where my mother and my brother are.
00:10:09Sure.
00:10:10Vito, my day is yours.
00:10:33♪♪
00:10:55Yeah, there they are, Vito.
00:10:57First two under the tree.
00:11:03♪♪
00:11:13♪♪
00:11:21I'm sorry, Mama.
00:11:23I know I promised to take care of him.
00:11:27Death must have been a great pain to you.
00:11:29Sammy.
00:11:31Sammy.
00:11:36I stand here, but I don't believe it.
00:11:38Twenty-five years old.
00:11:42Some dirty bastard snuffed your life out.
00:11:47I swear to you, my brother.
00:11:49I swear to God to you.
00:11:51I'll find out who did this, Sammy.
00:11:53And I'll kill him with my own hand.
00:11:55I'll find out who did this, Sammy.
00:11:57And I'll kill him with my own hand.
00:12:19Hey, Pop.
00:12:21The Nicoletti grave is open.
00:12:23The Nicoletti grave is over there.
00:12:25You take care of them?
00:12:27Nicoletti.
00:12:28Yes.
00:12:29They had nice funerals.
00:12:31Simple, but nice.
00:12:34My brother's got some flowers on his grave.
00:12:37You know who put them there?
00:12:39Some woman.
00:12:40She comes every week.
00:12:41You know who she is?
00:12:43No.
00:12:44But just like clockwork,
00:12:45she comes every Thursday morning for years.
00:12:48She's pretty, young,
00:12:50and a little gaudy.
00:12:52A little gaudy.
00:12:56Look, I'd appreciate it if
00:12:58you didn't say anything to anybody about this.
00:13:03Memory is not kind to old men.
00:13:07Good day.
00:13:13You're finished now, Vito.
00:13:14Let's go home and eat.
00:13:16We gotta make another stop.
00:13:17Is Father Testa still around?
00:13:19Yeah, at the old church.
00:13:21I'll be there first.
00:13:52You still looking for Altoboy's father?
00:13:54Hey, Vito.
00:13:56Vito, my boy.
00:14:01Oh, you look good.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:04Sit up.
00:14:05Sit up.
00:14:06Ah.
00:14:08Come here.
00:14:09Sit up.
00:14:10Come on.
00:14:11Sit up.
00:14:12Sit up.
00:14:13Sit up.
00:14:14Sit up.
00:14:15Sit up.
00:14:16Sit up.
00:14:17Sit up.
00:14:18Sit up.
00:14:19Sit up.
00:14:20Sit up.
00:14:21Ah, you know, I knew you were coming out today.
00:14:26You look wonderful.
00:14:27You got too much Blarney for an Italian father.
00:14:31The old neighborhood, it's changed.
00:14:33Hey, well, most of the old gang is gone.
00:14:38And, uh, your mother.
00:14:41I never did thank you for taking care of the funeral.
00:14:44Her last words were about you and your brother Sammy.
00:14:50The old house, it's gone too.
00:14:52There was no one else left.
00:14:54I mean, you were gone and, uh, and, uh, your brother, he...
00:15:11It's almost $1,000.
00:15:15It's all I could get for selling what
00:15:16was in your mother's apartment.
00:15:19It's yours.
00:15:29This was, uh, Sammy's.
00:15:36A man's whole life in a cardboard box.
00:15:40Hey, I know you can't forget what happened to him.
00:15:44Vito, some things are better forgotten.
00:15:47I owe it to my brother not to forget.
00:15:50Not till I get some answers.
00:15:52You know what?
00:15:54These are things that your mother wanted you to have.
00:15:59Papa's last gift to Sammy.
00:16:03He must have been three years old.
00:16:06This was his favorite toy.
00:16:10He used to sit in that chair and shake it all night
00:16:13making such a racket.
00:16:14They were beautiful together, Mama and Sammy.
00:16:17Just beautiful.
00:16:23I was supposed to look out for him.
00:16:25Sammy died, Vito.
00:16:28He was supposed to leave the dead buried.
00:16:31You don't understand, Father.
00:16:33It's not for me.
00:16:34It's for Mama.
00:16:35I let her down.
00:16:37So what will you do if you find the murderer?
00:16:42Will you kill?
00:16:45Do you realize that in doing so that you're going to condemn
00:16:48your soul to everlasting hell?
00:16:53I pray to God that you fail yourself.
00:16:57I pray to God there is a God.
00:17:14I pray to God there is a God.
00:17:44Yes?
00:17:45Are you Erica Moore?
00:17:47I am.
00:17:49Please excuse me.
00:17:50My name is Vito Nicoletti.
00:17:51My brother was Sammy Nicoletti.
00:17:53I believe that you knew him.
00:17:54Yes, I did.
00:17:55I was wondering if you could spare me
00:17:57a few moments of your time.
00:18:00Well, I don't know.
00:18:02Look, I waited 10 years to talk to you.
00:18:04I don't know what to say.
00:18:06I don't know what to do.
00:18:07I don't know what to do.
00:18:09I don't know what to do.
00:18:10I don't know what to do.
00:18:12I don't know what to do.
00:18:13Now I can't wait to talk to you.
00:18:16Please sit down.
00:18:20Now, what can I do for you?
00:18:24Well, I really don't know how to begin.
00:18:26You see, when Sammy was killed, I was in prison.
00:18:29I just got out this morning, and I just
00:18:31wanted to get around to see some of his old friends.
00:18:36I think I understand.
00:18:38You'd like to get closer to the memory of your brother
00:18:40through his friends.
00:18:41Is that it?
00:18:42Exactly. You got a nice way of putting things.
00:18:46It's my job. I work in publishing.
00:18:48That's what this office is for.
00:18:51It's very interesting.
00:18:53Anyway, Mrs. Moore, the last letter I got from my brother,
00:18:56he said he was going up to your house for the weekend.
00:18:59Three days later, he was killed.
00:19:01And since you were one of the last people to see him alive,
00:19:03I was hoping that, for personal reasons, you know,
00:19:07if you could tell me something about his last few days.
00:19:11People like Sammy.
00:19:13He was very personable and intelligent.
00:19:22I remember the day we drove up to the house.
00:19:25Sammy was reading a film theory book.
00:19:32What you reading?
00:19:34What?
00:19:35The book.
00:19:38How's your job?
00:19:41A drag.
00:19:43I hear you're working again.
00:19:45Yep. I'm doing a translation of Céline's Don Chateau look.
00:19:49Doesn't feel like we're doing 70, does it?
00:19:54You want the top off?
00:19:56No, that's all right.
00:20:08When we got to the house,
00:20:10our neighbors had prepared a surprise party for Andrew and me.
00:20:14Sam was so shy, he faded his mood.
00:20:20Sam?
00:20:26Come on out.
00:20:28Right.
00:20:32I'm sorry.
00:20:34Right.
00:21:04Come on.
00:21:34Come on.
00:21:44Come on.
00:21:53There. There you are.
00:22:04Where'd you get the dolly?
00:22:06The what?
00:22:09I sprained my ankle last winter.
00:22:11We just forgot to return it.
00:22:16You look very good.
00:22:21You got some place here.
00:22:26I think it's too big.
00:22:29I broke Andrew up last Sunday.
00:22:32I broke Andrew up last Sunday.
00:22:34When we woke up, I picked up the telephone.
00:22:36I said, hello, room service?
00:22:42Come on, let me introduce you.
00:22:44Can it wait?
00:22:46Come on.
00:22:49Please.
00:22:51How about when they're leaving?
00:22:54All right.
00:22:59I wanted to introduce him to the guests,
00:23:01but Sam wouldn't mix, preferring to stay in that wheelchair,
00:23:03playing the cripple.
00:23:05What a little boy.
00:23:07He even pretended to limp when he met Carol.
00:23:09That's Andrew's wife, now you knew that.
00:23:11No, I didn't.
00:23:13Was that the first time that you met this Carol?
00:23:15Yes.
00:23:17Well, no, to be precise.
00:23:19I saw her briefly once before.
00:23:21When was that?
00:23:24Earlier, on the way to the house,
00:23:26Andrew stopped for cigarettes at a gas station.
00:23:31Excuse me, a cigarette machine?
00:23:33Right inside, sir.
00:23:35Carol was in a sports car.
00:23:37Andrew saw her, and I saw him.
00:23:41He used to have a wandering eye in those days.
00:23:43Coincidence, I guess.
00:23:46So Sammy was playing the cripple for Carol.
00:23:49Yes, and she fell for it.
00:23:51She helped him across the grounds.
00:23:53Huh?
00:23:55It's this war wound that acts up.
00:23:58You seemed all right before.
00:24:01I know, but it just happened.
00:24:05That's too bad.
00:24:10Which war?
00:24:12Oh, I can't remember.
00:24:14Come on, let's walk, it'll come to me.
00:24:16Come on.
00:24:31Anyway,
00:24:33later Sammy and Carol came in.
00:24:35Their clothes were soaked to the skin.
00:24:37They'd fallen into the swimming pool,
00:24:39wheelchair and all.
00:24:41Perfect.
00:24:43Green.
00:24:45Come on, let's go inside.
00:24:47I'll get something from Erica for you.
00:24:49Don't bother.
00:24:51I'll get it.
00:24:53I'll get it.
00:24:55I'll get it.
00:24:57I'll get it.
00:24:59I'll get it.
00:25:01I'll get it.
00:25:03I'll get it.
00:25:05I'll get it.
00:25:07I'll get it.
00:25:10I'll get it.
00:25:12I'll get it.
00:25:14I'll get it.
00:25:26Hi.
00:25:30What happened?
00:25:32Well, you see,
00:25:34we kinda lost control of the wheelchair.
00:25:36Well, if you're gonna come to dinner with us,
00:25:38Soon.
00:25:39Well...
00:25:41Hello.
00:25:42Why don't you get them some towels?
00:25:46Is he coming?
00:25:48Sam, there's someone I'd like you to meet.
00:25:51He's a producer. I think he could be helpful.
00:25:55Can I catch up with you later? Like, after dinner?
00:25:58Sure.
00:26:00You, um, haven't introduced your friend?
00:26:03Oh, this is, uh...
00:26:04Carol.
00:26:05I'm Andrew. This is my wife, Erica.
00:26:08Andrew wanted to take everyone to dinner
00:26:10and introduce Sammy to a film producer he knew.
00:26:13Sammy begged off.
00:26:15He and Carol had other plans.
00:26:16I bet.
00:26:28As you like it, Spamby.
00:27:08Yeah.
00:27:39There they are.
00:27:49Hi.
00:27:50You didn't know her?
00:28:02Uh, this is Mitch Negroni.
00:28:04His wife, Marge.
00:28:05Uh, this is Mitch Negroni.
00:28:07His wife, Marge.
00:28:08Then there's Faye.
00:28:09And, uh...
00:28:12Uh, Christina.
00:28:14This is Carol.
00:28:16And Sam.
00:28:18Sit down.
00:28:20Uh, scotch and water.
00:28:24Hey, aren't you in the wheelchair this afternoon?
00:28:28That dress looks very well on you.
00:28:31It's a little long.
00:28:33I hope you don't mind my wearing it.
00:28:35First time?
00:28:36First time.
00:28:39Erica, let's finish our drinks.
00:28:43Wait.
00:28:44Carol, thanks.
00:28:50Okay.
00:29:06Well, I have no doubts.
00:29:08I envy you.
00:29:12Coffee.
00:29:13Great.
00:29:15Can I help?
00:29:17No, thanks.
00:29:19We all having some?
00:29:20Yeah.
00:29:22Okay.
00:29:23Let's go.
00:29:24Let's go.
00:29:25Let's go.
00:29:26Let's go.
00:29:27Let's go.
00:29:28Let's go.
00:29:29Let's go.
00:29:30Let's go.
00:29:31Let's go.
00:29:32Let's go.
00:29:33Let's go.
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Oh, no thanks.
00:29:37I've had it.
00:29:39Good night.
00:29:45I remember she went to bed before any of us.
00:29:47She slept in our bed.
00:29:49Andrew refused to wake her.
00:29:51Wake her up?
00:29:53She's asleep.
00:29:54I heard you.
00:29:55Now stop it.
00:29:57There's no shortage of room.
00:29:59We can sleep downstairs.
00:30:04Now, what's the big deal?
00:30:06You tell me.
00:30:07I'll get her up.
00:30:08Hold it.
00:30:09Look, I don't mind.
00:30:10No, that's not the point.
00:30:11Now for tonight we can sleep downstairs, can't we?
00:30:15Of course.
00:30:18Good night.
00:30:19Good night.
00:30:20In retrospect, I was acting like an irate teenager.
00:30:25Andrew was terribly insensitive to my feelings.
00:30:29Anyway, the next day the four of us went on a trip on our neighbor's boat for a cruise.
00:30:34It all started out as fun.
00:30:36I was trying to start the day fresh and forget Carol.
00:31:01Pardon me.
00:31:02No, thank you.
00:31:03I'm all set.
00:31:04Excuse me for a minute.
00:31:07City College.
00:31:09Why?
00:31:10I wouldn't have guessed it was Andrew.
00:31:12You're quite different, you know.
00:31:14I know.
00:31:22I think he has designs on you.
00:31:26Why don't you say what you mean?
00:31:29I am.
00:31:30What you want to know is what I think.
00:31:36Ronald!
00:31:40Come on, let's go on.
00:31:41No, I'll wait here.
00:31:42Come on.
00:31:44Enjoy yourself.
00:31:48What's the matter now?
00:31:52Why do you keep asking that question?
00:31:54Why do you keep asking that question?
00:32:25Who is it?
00:32:27Sam?
00:32:30Come in.
00:32:32When I went looking for him, he was locked in a stateroom with Carol.
00:32:35Everywhere I turned, I found Carol.
00:32:40Sammy tried to help, but he couldn't reach me.
00:32:42I wouldn't let him.
00:32:55I'm sorry I disturbed you.
00:32:57What is it?
00:33:02I don't know what to do.
00:33:05I feel sick.
00:33:08I feel sick.
00:33:10Get some air?
00:33:13There's not enough of it.
00:33:14I don't know what I'm doing.
00:33:17Never mind.
00:33:22I have to get off this thing.
00:33:26Hey, what's up with you?
00:33:47Come on.
00:34:13Carol!
00:34:15Going in?
00:34:16Yeah!
00:34:18Would you take someone with you?
00:34:20Sure!
00:34:32Tell him I wasn't feeling well.
00:34:34Look, he didn't vanish.
00:34:35Give me a minute.
00:34:36Let me see if I can find him.
00:34:45Carol?
00:34:47I'm busy.
00:35:04Did you find him?
00:35:05It's all right.
00:35:15It's all right.
00:35:34I was put aboard a passing boat and returned to shore.
00:35:38Sammy came with me.
00:35:39He tried to help.
00:35:41I'll never forget him for that.
00:35:42The next day we came home, he went to work that night.
00:35:46I never saw him again.
00:35:49That's the story, Mr. Nicoletti.
00:35:51I feel sorry for all of us.
00:35:54Sammy was a wonderful man and a talent.
00:35:58Well, I'm going to find out just how talented he was.
00:36:02He left me a box of his old films.
00:36:04Really?
00:36:05May I see them?
00:36:07Why?
00:36:08Maybe I can do something with them commercially, I mean.
00:36:11I'll tell you what.
00:36:13They may be nothing,
00:36:14but when I get around to seeing them,
00:36:15if there's something there, I'll give you a call.
00:36:18Try to look to the future.
00:36:20It's what helped me in my difficult times.
00:36:23I can't do that just yet.
00:36:26What's on your mind?
00:36:27Sammy's killer.
00:36:29The police said it was robbery.
00:36:31Sammy stumbled in on an everyday robbery and was killed.
00:36:34That's not the way I got it.
00:36:35But whatever,
00:36:37I'll find out the truth for myself.
00:36:39So,
00:36:40you're going to spend the rest of your life
00:36:41tracking down a nameless killer, blood for blood.
00:36:44It's an old Italian tradition.
00:36:46These are modern times, Mr. Nicoletti.
00:36:49No, they're not.
00:36:51The whole world understands revenge.
00:36:54Only in romantic novels, not in real life.
00:36:57Maybe so, maybe so.
00:36:59Anyway, I want to thank you, Mrs. Moore.
00:37:02I'm going to go.
00:37:03Anyway, I want to thank you, Mrs. Moore.
00:37:05You've been a very nice lady to me
00:37:06for taking your time out to tell me about my brother.
00:37:09Maybe I'll see you again.
00:37:13Goodbye.
00:37:34Why did we stop here?
00:37:36I had to see a woman who knew Sammy.
00:37:37Did she give you any leads?
00:37:39I don't know.
00:37:41She told me that her ex-husband got married to a girl that Sammy was dating.
00:37:45No kidding.
00:37:46Yeah.
00:37:47Makes you kind of wonder, doesn't it?
00:37:50Hey, look, Vito, you know, this has been a long day.
00:37:52The cemetery, Father Testa, now this woman.
00:37:55What do you say we go back to the house,
00:37:57rest up for a while, you get something to eat, huh?
00:38:00Yeah, yeah, sure, Joey.
00:38:01But I got to get my own place tomorrow.
00:38:03I got too many things on my mind.
00:38:04I got to be alone.
00:38:05Whatever you say, Vito.
00:38:14Vito.
00:38:15Come in, Joey.
00:38:17Everything copacetic?
00:38:19How do those clothes fit you?
00:38:20Clothes fit fine.
00:38:22Hey, look what I found in the kitchen.
00:38:24Probably salami, pane, and some cold beer.
00:38:27Going to have a little picnic, huh?
00:38:28Yeah, why not?
00:38:29Mange.
00:38:32Did you get it?
00:38:33Yeah, yeah, I got it from the garage.
00:38:35Let's have it.
00:38:36Are you sure about this, Vito?
00:38:38Come on, let's have it.
00:38:42Vito, you know, we got to get you back in step with the world.
00:38:45There's some nice warehouse jobs
00:38:48opening up at the meatpacking plant.
00:38:50Now, the money is good,
00:38:51and in a couple of months,
00:38:52I know things are going to look up for you.
00:38:56Look, Joey, I love you like family,
00:38:58but I got to do something.
00:38:59I love you like family,
00:39:00but I got to do things at my own pace.
00:39:03First thing I got to do tomorrow
00:39:04is get back to that cemetery
00:39:05and see if that girl shows up at Sammy's grave.
00:39:08Okay, I'll, uh, I'll drop you off.
00:39:10But then after that,
00:39:11we'll take a ride by the plant, okay?
00:39:15Yeah, we'll see.
00:39:29I love you.
00:39:59I love you.
00:40:30Is he a friend of yours?
00:40:31Who are you?
00:40:32Hey, don't get sassy.
00:40:33I just asked you if Sammy Nicoletti was a friend of yours.
00:40:36Hey, look, wait a minute.
00:40:37I want to talk to you.
00:40:38Hey, get your paws off, man.
00:40:40Hey, now, wait a minute.
00:40:42Hey, look.
00:40:44All right, look.
00:40:46Come any closer and I'm going to cut you deep.
00:40:49Just take it nice and slow, will you?
00:40:50All I want to do is have a little conversation with you.
00:40:53Yeah, I bet.
00:40:55Some kind of weirdo creep.
00:40:59What's that about?
00:41:00Who got it?
00:41:01670XEK.
00:41:02We got to get a make on that car.
00:41:04Yeah, Nicky Geo.
00:41:05He's with the repo boys.
00:41:06I'll get it.
00:41:07Let's go.
00:41:08670XEK.
00:41:10Let's go.
00:41:11Let's do it.
00:41:28Now, look.
00:41:29Before you start going crazy and pulling out knives,
00:41:31I want to tell you I'm Sammy's brother.
00:41:34Sammy's brother?
00:41:36I didn't know Sammy had a brother.
00:41:37Well, he does, and I'm him.
00:41:38Why didn't you tell me that before?
00:41:40Because you didn't give me a chance.
00:41:41You just drove away.
00:41:45How did you find me here?
00:41:47I got friends.
00:41:48Well, what do you want?
00:41:49Well, for openers, I want to know what your relationship with him was.
00:41:53We was just friends.
00:41:55Just friends?
00:41:56You mean to tell me you go to a guy's grave for ten years and you're just friends?
00:42:00Yeah, something like that.
00:42:02You're a bad liar, baby.
00:42:03It's written all over your face like egg.
00:42:06You were romancing Sammy, right?
00:42:09Yeah, we was seeing each other.
00:42:11Hey, my math ain't so good, but you look to me to be a young girl.
00:42:15Ten years ago would have made you, what, 12, 13 maybe?
00:42:19Yeah.
00:42:22How'd you meet my brother anyway?
00:42:24I was in his porno flicks.
00:42:26What'd you say?
00:42:27You didn't know about Sammy's porno flicks?
00:42:30Well, look, I was young and, uh, Sammy was the nicest person I knew.
00:42:35He didn't want me in those movies, but, well, I didn't have any other way of getting money,
00:42:40so I made Sammy use me.
00:42:42If you were so tight with him, how come you weren't with him that last weekend before his death?
00:42:48Well, it was with fancy people.
00:42:50You know, important people.
00:42:52I mean, Sammy would have taken me with him, but I just figured I shouldn't interfere.
00:42:57Now, that's it on the questions.
00:42:59Hey, look, could you do me a favor, please?
00:43:01What?
00:43:03I ain't got no place to stay, and I need to find a motel room somewhere.
00:43:06Can you give me a lift?
00:43:09Okay.
00:43:18Sign says bacon?
00:43:20Well, thanks for the lift.
00:43:22And the liquor stop, didn't it, Buck?
00:43:24You know, I like your name, Vivian Buck.
00:43:27Sammy liked it, too.
00:43:29He gave it to me.
00:43:32Well, I'll see you around.
00:43:34Would you like to?
00:43:38Do you like me?
00:43:40Why do you ask me that?
00:43:42I don't know. It's just a throwaway question.
00:43:45Well, I could.
00:43:47Okay, then I'll see you around.
00:43:50We'll have that breakfast tomorrow.
00:43:52You got a date.

00:46:09I didn't know I had a fan club.
00:46:11I knocked, but you were in the shower.
00:46:13Next time I'll remember to latch the door.
00:46:17Let's skip the formalities, copper.
00:46:19Benson. Lieutenant Benson. Homicide.
00:46:23I'm impressed.
00:46:38Word is you're looking around for Sammy's killer.
00:46:41Well, I'm here to tell you, go easy. Don't go causing any trouble.
00:46:45You got a mean dago tempered, Nicoletti.
00:46:48And I wouldn't want it hurting any innocent taxpayers. Follow?
00:46:52I ain't dumb.
00:46:54That's what you say.
00:46:57I can't stop you from poking around.
00:47:00But if you find something, be a real good boy and call me.
00:47:03You don't, I'll take it personal. Follow?
00:47:07Like a taillight. Is that it?
00:47:10Yeah, for now. Just don't forget.
00:47:14How can I forget when you keep reminding me not to forget?
00:47:38Let me talk to Dominic.
00:47:42Hello, Dom? Vito Nicoletti.
00:47:45Yeah, I just got out yesterday.
00:47:47I'll tell you all about it when I see you.
00:47:49Look, Dom, I need a favor.
00:47:51The address of a guy named Andrew Moore.
00:47:54Right, the guy who's running for governor.
00:47:58Yeah, you can get back to me at this number. 761-7168.
00:48:04Thanks, Dom.
00:48:06He went to Geneva and paid more than 8 million dollars for the diamonds.
00:49:06Moore!
00:49:36Vito! Vito!
00:49:59Vito! Vito!
00:50:03Vito! Vito!
00:50:07Hey! Help me!
00:50:13Somebody help!
00:50:15Come here, my fridge is a mess.
00:50:18Help me out.
00:50:20Vito! Vito! Come on, get up! Come on!
00:50:25Help me!
00:50:33Help me!
00:50:36Vito!
00:50:39Vito, are you all right?
00:50:42Some water.
00:50:46My God, what happened?
00:50:54Somebody tried to gas me.
00:50:57As soon as I get dressed, will you give me a lift?
00:51:00Sure, but you don't have anything to say.
00:51:04Anything.
00:51:26I'll be back in about 10 minutes.
00:51:57Vito Nicoletti to see Andrew Moore.
00:52:01Follow me, please.
00:52:26Mr. Nicoletti to see you, sir.
00:52:30Oh, won't you sit down, Mr. Nicoletti?
00:52:33I'm Andrew Moore. I was expecting you.
00:52:36How's that?
00:52:37Erica rang me up and said you were looking to meet Sammy's friends.
00:52:42I naturally assumed you would pay us a visit.
00:52:45I'm sorry.
00:52:47It's all right.
00:52:49I'm sure you'll like it.
00:52:51Erica rang me up and said you were looking to meet Sammy's friends.
00:52:55I naturally assumed you would pay us a visit.
00:52:59Paul, would you bring some iced tea, please?
00:53:02Sure.
00:53:05Now, what can I do for you?
00:53:08I just wanted to ask you what your connection with my brother was.
00:53:12Sammy was a very promising young film director.
00:53:15Yeah, I know. He made porno films.
00:53:17Oh, really?
00:53:19When I first met him, I was a financial broker,
00:53:22and I had clients who wanted to take high-risk, fun investments.
00:53:28A young attorney I knew introduced me to this promising young film director
00:53:32who was just beginning his career in the business
00:53:34and was looking for capital investment.
00:53:37That director was Sammy.
00:53:40We met, became friends, and I was impressed with him and his talent,
00:53:45so I invested in several of his projects.
00:53:48They made money,
00:53:50and Sammy was making his living in the business.
00:53:54He loved making films, couldn't leave it alone.
00:53:57I remember the night I called him to invite him for that last afternoon.
00:54:00He was in the editing room working late.
00:54:02Wasn't that the place he was murdered?
00:54:04Yes.
00:54:06It was tragic, really.
00:54:09He was so enthusiastic about the weekend.
00:54:11I could tell it in his voice.
00:54:14If I'd known it was to be his last,
00:54:16I would have tried to make a better time of it for him.
00:54:18I don't follow.
00:54:20Oh, Erica and myself, we were having troubles,
00:54:23and, well, I knew I was going to have to watch myself.
00:54:27What did it have to do with my brother?
00:54:30We drove up the following morning, Erica, Sam, and myself.
00:54:34I remember I had a new Cadillac convertible,
00:54:36and I was really getting the feel of it.
00:54:39Erica and Sam were enjoying their conversation.
00:54:43Philosophy.
00:54:45I was bored with it.
00:54:47Celine, there's nothing frightful in us,
00:54:50and on Earth, and perhaps in heaven above,
00:54:53except what has not been said,
00:54:56once and for all time.
00:54:59Celine.
00:55:01We arrived at the house that afternoon
00:55:12to discover our neighbors had arranged a surprise party.
00:55:16Hello, Erica.
00:55:31It's away from the pool, so it's generally quiet.
00:55:34It's fine.
00:55:35If you don't like it, there are others.
00:55:37It's fine.
00:55:39Are there any girls out there?
00:55:40I hope so.
00:55:42Anyway, they're all over town.
00:55:44I know, but I'm here.
00:55:46I'll see what I can do.
00:55:49Would you close the door?
00:56:02Excuse me.
00:56:03Anytime.
00:56:05Where is Sam?
00:56:06I don't know. In the house, I guess.
00:56:09Did you ask him to come out?
00:56:11I will.
00:56:14Sam!
00:56:21Sam!
00:56:28The next day, one of our neighbors, Mitch,
00:56:31invited us for an afternoon cruise.
00:56:34Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:56:44The next day, Sam and I went to the pool.
00:56:47Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:56:50Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:56:53Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:56:56Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:56:59Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:57:02Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:57:05Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:57:08Sam seemed to be having a good time.
00:57:12The next day, we arrived in Prague.
00:57:15The next day, we arrived in Prague.
00:57:29Hey, I'm glad you could make it.
00:57:31I just hope I do.
00:57:32I think we all will.
00:57:34More people than I planned for, as usual.
00:57:36Hey, you two, come on. Let's have a drink.
00:57:38Good.
00:57:41Well, the next afternoon we came home.
00:57:51Sammy left for work and that was the last we saw of him.
00:57:57Eric and I were in shock for weeks.
00:58:01Such a senseless killing, the whole affair is so, so very tragic.
00:58:07Please accept my condolences, Mr. Nicoletti.
00:58:13I understand we have a guest, Andrew.
00:58:14Yes, we do.
00:58:16Mr. Nicoletti, this is my wife, Carol.
00:58:18How do you do?
00:58:20I understand that you were Sammy's girlfriend the weekend before his death.
00:58:23That's right.
00:58:24That's when Sammy and I met.
00:58:26He was a lot of fun.
00:58:28I'm sorry.
00:58:30The odd turns of fate, Vito.
00:58:33I met Carol because of Sammy.
00:58:36I suppose one could say every dark cloud has a silver lining.
00:58:41We were married a year and a half later.
00:58:43Well, I guess belated congratulations are in order.
00:58:47I'm just very, very sorry for you, Mr. Nicoletti.
00:58:52Well, for all of us.
00:58:53We all loved Sammy very much.
00:58:55Well, you've been very kind and I'm sorry to have barged in on you.
00:59:00No, no, no.
00:59:01That's quite understandable.
00:59:03Now, if there's nothing more, Vito, I'd like to get back to my nap.
00:59:07Yeah, by all means, get back to your nap.
00:59:10If there's anything else I need, I'll let you know.
00:59:13What else could there be, Mr. Nicoletti?
00:59:16Answers, Mr. Moore.
00:59:18Answers.
00:59:19Mrs. Moore?
00:59:28I wonder how much he knows.
00:59:30Well, we'll just have to find that film.
00:59:45Ready, baby?
01:00:01This day's full of surprises.
01:00:04You're disappointed.
01:00:09I don't know yet.
01:00:11All I know is I got a headache.
01:00:13Why don't you take an aspirin?
01:00:15I would, but I don't have any.
01:00:17Here.
01:00:19Try one of those.
01:00:21French.
01:00:22It'll get rid of your headache.
01:00:24I take this one.
01:00:26French.
01:00:27It'll get rid of your headache.
01:00:29I take them when I get my monthly pains.
01:00:32I get them bad.
01:00:39You'll feel better soon.
01:00:42You know what I like?
01:00:44Mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwiches.
01:00:47I know some people who get off on chocolate pudding.
01:00:50It's been 12 years since I had a mayonnaise and peanut butter sandwich.
01:00:55Now, that's what I call cruel and unusual punishment.
01:00:58At least it's unusual.
01:01:00Tell me.
01:01:02What does a man do for 12 years behind bars?
01:01:06He does a lot of thinking.
01:01:08Is that why you came here?
01:01:10That was the question I was going to ask you.
01:01:14I've heard all kinds of things about what cooped-up men do in prison.
01:01:20Does that turn you on?
01:01:22You gay?
01:01:24Yeah.
01:01:26But I'll show you what kind of guy I am.
01:01:27I'm going to make it with you anyway.
01:01:30Okay.
01:01:32I like it already.
01:01:34The door locked.
01:01:35Forget the door.
01:01:37I like a woman that gets to the point.
01:01:40You've forgotten how to do it.
01:01:42I'm betting on you to remind me.
01:01:44Hey, I can take my own pants off.
01:02:25Joey.
01:02:26Vito.
01:02:27Vito?
01:02:28Why'd you sleep?
01:02:30Something brought I was with.
01:02:31Slipped me a Mickey.
01:02:33Yeah, what?
01:02:34Never mind.
01:02:36Listen.
01:02:38That package I left with you.
01:02:41It's got the name and address of a film lab on it.
01:02:45Can you get it for me?
01:02:47Sure.
01:02:50One, one, one, two, three, two, Santa Monica Boulevard.
01:02:55Listen.
01:02:57Can you meet me there in 45 minutes?
01:03:00No, I'll grab a cab.
01:03:02It's quicker.
01:03:05Okay.
01:03:07I'll see you there.
01:03:09Bye.
01:03:11Bye.
01:03:13Bye.
01:03:15Bye.
01:03:17Bye.
01:03:29Right on time, Joey.
01:03:31Want me to hang around?
01:03:33No, if you go home, take care of business.
01:03:35I'll grab a cab.
01:03:37You know, call if you need me.
01:03:48I got this old film.
01:03:49I want to take a look at it.
01:03:51You want a book of screening?
01:03:53I don't know.
01:03:54If that's the only way I get to look at it, then that's what I want to do.
01:03:57Let me take a look at it.
01:04:03This yours?
01:04:04It's my brother's.
01:04:05Why?
01:04:07Pretty sticky stuff, porno.
01:04:09Is that a problem?
01:04:10Nah, not anymore.
01:04:12But the film looks like it's been to hell and back.
01:04:15The sprockets are all ripped.
01:04:16Needs a lot of work.
01:04:17Well, just do the best you can.
01:04:21Name?
01:04:22Nicoletti.
01:04:24Look, this stuff's got your company's name on it.
01:04:27Does that mean the original work on it was done here?
01:04:29Not necessarily.
01:04:30Everybody's always changing boxes of film cans, you know?
01:04:33Look, I mean, if you really want to find out,
01:04:35why don't you go in the office and ask Marge to check the records?
01:04:38Thanks.
01:04:39Don't mention it.
01:04:40Marge was very helpful.
01:04:42She dug in the files until she found Nicoletti.
01:04:44In there, I found copies of paper documenting all of Sammy's work.
01:04:48It covered a few years.
01:04:50Toward the end of the stack, I found a couple of interesting things.
01:04:53An invoice made out to Sammy
01:04:55said he dropped off some negatives for processing and printing
01:04:58two days before he went on that weekend, ten years ago.
01:05:02Attached to that invoice was a paid receipt
01:05:04for the processed film and negatives.
01:05:06It was signed in what appeared to be Sammy's signature.
01:05:09Everything seemed nice and neat, except for one thing.
01:05:13It was dated two days after Sammy's death.
01:05:18How soon can I see this stuff?
01:05:20Eh, it'll be ready in a couple of days.
01:05:22I need it quicker than that.
01:05:25Uh, well, I think we can have it ready for you by this afternoon.
01:05:29Hello, Vito.
01:05:31Hello, Lieutenant.
01:05:33What's new?
01:05:35I hear you're moving around, seeing people.
01:05:38So what's the big deal?
01:05:40It's a free country.
01:05:42Depends, Vito.
01:05:44On just how far you're going to push this Sammy thing.
01:05:47I'm telling you, leave it alone.
01:05:50It's a free country.
01:05:52It's a free country.
01:05:54I'm telling you, leave it alone.
01:06:00Believe me, Lieutenant, it's the furthest thing from my mind.
01:06:03Don't play me the fool, Vito.
01:06:06You've got that devious Dago brain of yours
01:06:08looking around for every angle.
01:06:10Is that it?
01:06:12All right, smart guy, play it your way.
01:06:14But you cross the line,
01:06:16and I'll have your guinea ass right back in the slammer.
01:06:19Got it?
01:06:21Thank you, Lieutenant.
01:06:52I want my money back.
01:06:54How so?
01:06:56Those headache pills you gave me didn't work.
01:06:59It was your friend.
01:07:01Get in, darling. I want you to drive.
01:07:04I'd love to, but I don't have a license.
01:07:06Don't worry.
01:07:08I know all the police in town.
01:07:10I'll bet you do.
01:07:22Where to?
01:07:24You should see the view.
01:07:52And here I thought you liked me.
01:07:54I did, for about 15 minutes.
01:07:57See what desperation does to you?
01:08:00You want to tell me why you brought me here?
01:08:02The film I wanted.
01:08:04The film? What film?
01:08:06The one you told Erica you had.
01:08:08Oh, that film.
01:08:10You got it all wrong, baby.
01:08:12It's the film I wanted.
01:08:14It's the film I wanted.
01:08:16It's the film I wanted.
01:08:18Oh, that film.
01:08:20You got it all wrong, baby.
01:08:22Sammy loved that film to me.
01:08:24Everybody wants that film.
01:08:26I guess I gotta see what's on it for myself.
01:08:28If I tell you why, will you give it to me?
01:08:30Scott's on it.
01:08:32You're lying.
01:08:33You mean you don't trust that boy, Scott?
01:08:35An ex-con.
01:08:36He could be a murderer.
01:08:37You're crazy.
01:08:39Get out.
01:08:49I don't figure.
01:08:51Your husband's practically a shoo-in for governor,
01:08:53and you go seduce me, ransack my room,
01:08:56and now you kidnap me for a few lousy rolls of porno film.
01:09:01Porno film.
01:09:03That's it, ain't it?
01:09:04Sammy must have had you and Erica on film.
01:09:07That must have been some weekend.
01:09:09You wind up with Andrew, and Erica winds up with a big alimony
01:09:12and a successful wedding.
01:09:14You wind up with Andrew, and Erica winds up with a big alimony
01:09:17and a successful business, and everybody's happy.
01:09:22You killed my brother because he wouldn't give you that film.
01:09:25You knew that Andrew wouldn't marry you if he knew you did a skin flick.
01:09:28You'd be a liability as a wife.
01:09:30You're wrong.
01:09:32Maybe you and Erica killed him.
01:09:34After all, she had a lot to lose, too.
01:09:38Her career would be at stake if she had a scandal like that against her.
01:09:42You're only part right.
01:09:44Andrew and I worked together before that weekend.
01:09:46We just put on a little show for the social register,
01:09:49but we made a mistake.
01:09:51What mistake was that?
01:09:53At the gas station, on the way to the party,
01:09:55Andrew stopped for cigarettes.
01:09:57I was there, too.
01:09:59Erica saw me, but she never put it together.
01:10:02We played Erica for the loyal wife, and she fell for it.
01:10:06Andrew had promised to marry me after he divorced Erica,
01:10:09but Sammy's blackmail got in the way.
01:10:12Andrew had to stall the divorce, but I was impatient.
01:10:16I was on to a good thing.
01:10:18I was to seduce Sammy away from his blackmail
01:10:21and, with luck, get my hands on that film.
01:10:28This place reminds me of a scene in a French movie I saw once.
01:10:32It really knocked me out.
01:11:40The plan was going well.
01:11:42Sammy was falling for it,
01:11:44until that day on the boat.
01:11:47I made two mistakes.
01:11:49The first one was letting Erica see Sammy and me together in a locked cabin.
01:12:10Are you getting up?
01:12:12I'm happy where I am.
01:12:16I knew it would drive Erica crazy.
01:12:19And it did.
01:12:21I couldn't help myself.
01:12:23Erica was hurt deeply.
01:12:26The second mistake was more unforgivable.
01:12:29When Erica was transferred to New York,
01:12:31she was forced to stay in New York.
01:12:34I was forced to stay in New York.
01:12:36It was more unforgivable.
01:12:38When Erica was transferred to the passing boat,
01:12:40I thought Sammy would be sick.
01:12:43I was in such a hurry to get an Andrew.
01:12:46I didn't count on Sammy coming back to look for me.
01:12:50But after Sammy looked all over the boat for Andrew and couldn't find him,
01:12:54he knocked on the cabin door.
01:12:56I couldn't let him in.
01:12:58Sammy knew Andrew and I were together.
01:13:01I had to move fast to get that film.
01:13:07I need that film.
01:13:09Are you going to give it to me?
01:13:13I guess I don't have much of a choice.
01:13:16We've got to go back into the city to get it.
01:13:37I'll be back in a few minutes.
01:13:48What is it, Mr...
01:13:49I want to know who killed Sammy.
01:13:52Are you crazy?
01:13:53Yes, I'm crazy.
01:13:55You know Carol knew.
01:13:57She's lying.
01:13:58That bitch is dead.
01:13:59She's lying.
01:14:00She's lying.
01:14:02She's lying.
01:14:03She's lying.
01:14:05That bitch is dead.
01:14:06She wanted the film, the film you told her about.
01:14:09I want to know who killed my brother.

01:15:45And I'm going to go study yelling incantations because I need a poem.
01:15:52Get that film ready for me to see.
01:15:55Well, no miracles Mr. Nicoletti, but you can take a look.
01:15:58The screening room three down the end of the hallway, just sit down and have your Dr rolla the film.
01:16:06When do they start this thing?
01:16:19You have to push a button.
01:16:20I'll do it.
01:16:21I'll do it.
01:16:52Hey, wait a minute.
01:16:57It's Andrew Moore.
01:17:01Yeah, yeah.
01:17:04It looks like him.
01:17:07Stop this thing and get that film.
01:17:12I'm gonna pay that guy another visit.
01:17:51I'll do it.
01:18:21I'll do it.
01:18:51I'll do it.
01:19:21I'll do it.
01:19:47There's no one left to help you, Moore.
01:19:50No one.
01:19:52You're making a mistake.
01:19:54You made the only mistake when you killed my brother to get that skin flick.
01:20:00I thought Erica and Carol were the only freaks.
01:20:06One was a blackmailer.
01:20:09The other one a greedy slut.
01:20:12Beat him. I'll give you money.
01:20:15Anything. Name your price.
01:20:20How much is it worth to you, Moore?
01:20:24To keep the public from knowing that you're a murderer and a fag?
01:20:28Whatever you want, Peter. Whatever you want!
01:20:34You didn't have enough money.
01:20:49You didn't have enough money.
01:21:20How are you feeling, babe?
01:21:24I've got something on her.
01:21:28Did you do it?
01:21:31Yeah. I did it.
01:21:50I'm not going to make it, baby.
01:21:52No, no. You're going to make it.
01:21:55We're going to go to the mountains, and I'll get you a doctor.
01:21:58See, I know this little place up there that we can go and hide.
01:22:01Nobody will know we're there.
01:22:03You've just got to hang on just a couple of hours.
01:22:10Vito.
01:22:13I love you.
01:22:19I love you.
01:22:49I love you.
