REPORTER [OVER RADIO]: And on
the lighter side, apparently

there is a tiny
insignificant

South American country
called San Lucas

and they had a
close call.

Last night, thieves broke
into their national shrine

and attempted to steal
the ancient symbol

of the country.

But the theft
was thwarted.

Who wrote this? Theft was--
you know, it reminds me

of the thunderstorm we were supposed to get last night.

From Bill Bradley our weatherman, and he said

that we were gonna get
some thunderstorms.

Apparently they
were thwarted

because we have blue skies
today, Bill.

What's the story?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Can we order now, please?

I'll be right back, okay?
Just let me drop these off.

No. How about right now,
not later.

-How about any second, okay?
-Excuse me, ma'am.

Can I speak to you
about these eggs?

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Well?

-Swift.
-Thanks.

Want some juice?

TARAH: You get orange juice.

[SIGHS]

Well, what's what?

Big interview today.

T.I.C. job. Another trip?

Zamora? What's there?

Hello, I'm Maxine Balfour,

I have a five o'clock

Take a seat.

Thank you.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Nice suit.

MAXINE:The highest peak here
is the location

of Melrose Avenue and the Beverly Hills area.

Over here is more Westwood.

Down here is Santa Monica

and I guess that's it.
Are there any questions?

When would you be ableto start if we so desired?

Umm...

Gee, I don't know.

We've arrowed
the applications down to two

of which you are one.

So, we'd like to see you
Friday at eleven a.m. again,

If that's okay.

No, that's fine.

-Okay. Good.
-That's great.

Um, can I write that down?

Oh, go ahead, please do.

Ah, now, Miss Balfour,

I don't want you to take this,
uh, in the wrong way,

but I have a good feeling
you'll probably be acing

this job and you would be
working very closely

with me and to tell you
the truth,

I have a backlog of about
two weeks worth of work.

So, what I'd like to do,
if it's okay with you,

of course, uh,
is give you my card

and if you can find
some free time,

maybe we could, uh,

take a lunch.

Hi, Max.

Michelle?

Michelle, you almost hit me.

I'm sorry.

I saw you leaving
and I didn't want to miss you.

We almost didn't.

Are you okay?

Am I okay? Am I okay?

Do I look okay?

I'm sorry, Max, I'm sorry.

Please come with me,
I have to talk to you. Please.

I can't. I'm going
to the library.

Max, please.

I need to talk to you.

Look, Michelle, go find
somebody else's shoulder

-to cry on, okay? I'm busy.
-All I'm asking

is for a minute of your time.
Just get in the car, please.

Why don't you try thinkin'
of your lame excuse

for not having my rent
when I get back, okay?

Shit. This is serious, man.

Nothing's more serious
than rent, Michelle.

I'll kill myself.

Over rent?

I mean it.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Alright, Michelle,
I'm here now.

It's been a long day.
Let's just get this over

and done with, all right,
so I can go home.

-Why are we here?
-[CLEARS THROAT]

How was T.I.C?

[SIGHS] T.I.C. was great.
I mean, I might get the job,

I'll find out next week.

That's not what I want to talk
about. Why am I here?

What do you want
to talk about?

[TIRE SCREECHING]

Shit.

God.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Where are we going?
Where did you get this car?

MICHELLE: It's Brady's.

-Well, that figures.
-MICHELLE: He's in trouble.

-Well, that figures, too.
-I got him in trouble.

Right. Listen,
don't tell me anymore.

-I don't want to know.
-We got locked into this deal

for some cool easy cash.

It's that son of a bitch.

He got me into this thing
and now I'm in it and--

MAXINE: Michelle,
you're not making sense!

And now they think
that live got it.

And how could I have it?
I don't have it.

MAXINE: What, what? Drugs?

No. I mean, yeah.

Take me home.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[TIRE SCREECHING]

MAXINE: Michelle, slow down,
you're going to kill us!

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[TIRE SCREECHING]

We're here.

Where?

-The pick-up.
-Great.

The connection's a C.P.A.
for Christ sakes.

Drive, Michelle.

We're already here.

-Drive!
-I can't.

I mean it.

-I thought we were friends.
-We're roommates,

temporary ones. Friends don't
take a drug dealing

at midnight in deserted
parking lots.

Roommates do that!
Leppo ones.

Everything's a fucking slide
for people like you,

isn't it, Max? You never have
any problems, do you?

You never need any help,
do you?

Everything's under
fucking control!

[SIGHS] Oh, God.

Look, I'm sorry.
Just hurry up

and I'll wait for you.

Oh God, come on, Michelle,

what more do you want from me?

Could you do it?

-What!?
-MICHELLE: Look at me.

I'm a mess, I can't handle it,
could you please do it for me?

He's just a C.P.A.

Just a C.P.A.!

His name is Bennett and look,

you're just picking up
a phone number.

God, I'm so sick of your shit!

Hey!

-What?
-His name is Bennett.

He's on the 13th floor.

Thanks, Max, you're the best.

Is this it?

[BELL BUZZING]

[SIGHS]

Come on.

Where are you?

[CAR HORN HONKS]

-[CAR EXPLODE]

Michelle!

Michelle, fuck!

Um,

what happened?

I said, what happened?

[ENGINE REVVING]

[GRUNTS]

[TIRE SCREECHING]

[PANTING]

Where is it?

Take my money.

We don't want your money.

Where is she?

Bennett has it.

Who?

The C.P.A. on the 13th floor.

We'll check it out.

I'm telling you the truth.

Don't jerk my dick.

[TIRE SCREECHING]

[PANTING]

Wait. I barely know Michelle

or Brady.

I'm not a part of this.

Please take your drugs.

-Drugs?
-You think we're stupid.

Is that why you killed
Michelle?

You did.

What?

-No, you did.
-No, no, no, no, you did.

Charlie says to bring her.

-Where?
-Party, your house.

I think you're making
a big mistake.

Hey, who's that?

Your family, huh?
Mr. and Mrs. Balfour, huh?

[LAUGHS]
Who's that with them, huh?

Your sister, huh,
your little sister, huh?

[LAUGHS]

Cute.

Nothing.

This girl was in
San Lucas two days ago.

Close it up.

There is no Bennett,
no C.P.A.'s.

-I don't understand.
-DAMALAS: Neither do we.

SOAMES: Does this help?
You're taking a little trip,

you and your friend.

Or you can tell me where
the key to the locker is.

What is this?
What is going on?

-Where are we?
-San Lucas is where it started

and that's where
it's gonna end.

-Where what started?
-Look, you people

-are in big trouble.
-DAMALAS: Shut up.

-Ow! Ow! What'd you do that for?-We have the nerve to see

this through. Give up the key.

I don't have anything.

Oh my God.

-Give it to them, will ya?
-I don't have it!

DAMALAS: Too bad. You're dead.

-SOAMES: You think you're tough.-No, I'm honest.

DAMALAS: Yeah,
I'm a Boy Scout.

-Good idea.

-RENO: You're kidding.
-MAXINE: Shhh!

Keep your voice down.

-They think we're together.
-We'll tell 'em the truth.

You think
that would do any good?

Will you untie these?

What are they going to do
with us?

-Ransom?
-MAXINE: I don't know.

I don't even know
who to contact on my side.

Everybody I know
is broke right now.

No, no, John could come up
with the money.

I don't think
it's ransom that they want.

Yeah, that's right.

That key that you have,
isn't it?

MAN [OVER RADIO]:
[SPEAKING SPANISH]

RENO: You have it, don't you?

Look, why don't you
just give it to 'em.

-MAXINE: What?
-The key.

Why don't you
just give'em the key?

Look, I don't have any key

and I don't know
about any key, all right?

Who the hell are you anyway?

Huh?

What's your name?

Oh, Reno.

Reno Mars.

Geez, now what are you doin'?

MAXINE: Did you see any bullets?

RENO: No, I didn't see
any bullets.

Jesus Christ, look,
it's going to be a lot easier

if you just give them the key.

Look, Butch--shit.
I'm an attorney.

I don't go around carrying guns.

I don't go around
shooting people

and I don't get involved.

And if you don't
hand over that key

in about five seconds,
I'm going to slap

a little law suit
on your pretty little head

that'll make your head spin.

Aw, Jesus.

Look, I'm really sorry.

Look,

these guys are killers.

They're murderers, alright?

They killed my roommate.

RENO: They killed
your roommate?

MAXINE: Yeah.

Oh look, yeah,
they're going to kill us too

if we can't get
the hell outta here.

RENO: Ah, well,
I'm not going anywhere.

I'm going to shoot anybody.

-Kill anybody--

about the victims?

-They're escaping!

Hurry up, they see us.

-RENO: What?
-MAXINE: Hurry up.

RENO: Jesus.

-Hey.
-RENO: Oh, shit.

Hurry.
Help, how do you do this?

-Help.
-How do you do this thing?

-Don't point it at me.
-No, don't do it like that.

-Just give it to me.
-Just give it to me, will ya?

That's the old game.

No extensions.

None required.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

MAXINE: Religious insurance?

RENO: Yeah, well so what?

MAXINE: I just can't believe
I'm out here

with a goddamn
insurance salesman.

RENO: Investigator,
not salesman.

-Investigator.
-MAXINE: Big difference.

RENO: Geez. Those thieves
killed Brady

because he double crossed them.

They didn't blow up Michelle,
you got it?

MAXINE: They did,
I was there.

RENO: Yeah, well so was I.

Why would they kill her?

I mean she was supposed
to have the key to the locker.

MAXINE: So what's
in the locker, Reno?

-Shit!
-RENO: No, not shit.

A religious artifact.

Very old.

Very rare.
Very valuable.

MAXINE: You sure it's not drugs?

RENO: No, it's the Crucible,
alright?

Drugs.

You know, I was watching
the whole time, alright?

They didn't kill your roommate.

Well then who did?

I don't know.

A new player, I guess.

Wait a second.

You saw them kill Brady?

Why don't you call the police?

I will, after I get
the Crucible.

Now I heed them to lead me
to it, you know.

MAXINE: They almost killed me.

[SIGHS]

Look, Max, I'm sorry,

Local riff-raff.

Killers, smugglers,
thieves, good people.

I ran with them
in the late '70's.

They've helped me out
of a few tight ones, you know.

Why are they dressed like that?

Festival.

-Festival?
-Carnival.

You know,
celebrates the Crucible.

Except it's gone.

Yes and no.

It's not stolen?

It was switched with a replica.

Nobody knows of course
except the government.

And the government knows
the whole country's

gonna shit bricks
when it finds out.

Poor San Lucas.

You work for them.

-Who?
-San Lucas.

Yeah, yep.

There's only a couple hours left

before the Festival begins.

Man, I really screwed
this one up.

I don't know
if this'll help, but--

RENO: Don't know
if what'll help?

I remember this matchbookthat Michelle brought back

from her vacation...

yesterday.
Was it yesterday?

RENO: Max, tell me
about the matchbook.

Oh, it was from someplace
called Hotel Center,

Central, I think,
I don't know.

Hotel Central.

Yeah, I know that place.

MAXINE: Does it help?

Everything helps, Max.

Do you know how I can clear
myself and get outta here?

Don't worry about it.

I'm havin ' a passport
made up for you right now.

You'll be on your way
back to L.A.

in about five hours.

Thanks.

RENO: Does this mean
I'm forgiven?

No.

But I don't mind as much.

[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

MAXINE: And what about you?

I'll pick up the trail.

If I'm lucky,
I'll get the reward money,

you know, I can go back
to law school, you know.

Right.

RENO: Why, you don't think
I'll graduate?

I think you can do
whatever you want.

There's some clothes
in the back room.

Kind of native,

but It's for the carnival,
you know.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm ready to go native.

Thanks for the tar.

BLAKE: Damalas is right.

Damalas knows snit.

He's an asshole,isn't that right, Damalas?

[LAUGHS]
Hey, yeah, I'm an asshole.

-Remember? Huh? Huh?
-Yeah.

DAMALAS: The girl, Charlie.

RENO:Well, whatta you worried about,

-Charlie?

BLAKE: Not any more, Charlie.

We don't leaveuntil after we get what I want.

RENO: You mean what we want,

Charlie.

We lost you
in the crowd somehow.

RENO: It's always something.

-I was just--
-RENO: Flying solo?

Not me, Charlie.

I'm a company man.

Let's go meet Soames

at the Bar Sin nombre.

She can hook us into Deltoid.

Then again,
we don't have to meet her.

That's right. You don't.

Make sure you kill me.

I didn't mean to waste his faceall over you, Max.

I wanna go home.

Just trust me

Just do me a favor, Reno,

I don't wanna hear

C'mon, Max, gimme a break.

Just go and leave me alone.

I gotta make

[SINGING IN SPANISH]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Where's Blake and the Greek?

Out shining their shoes.

SOAMES:
I have a callout to Deltoid.

He says if he doesn't get
his bloody cup by tonight,

we can piss off.

What do you say, Charlie?

I say she doesn't have it.

She says she doesn't know
anything about it.

I got that bit out of her
in a few seconds.

What you been doin'
for two days, my love?

Ticklin' other's fancy?

Look, I believe her.

I don't know where
we blew this thing,

but the trail is cold.

Well, it better get fuckin'
hot again.

"Leave her to me," you said.

"I'll win her confidence."

Yeah, well,
your method with Brady

was equally effective.

Icing him
before you get the traffic.

That was Damalas.

Anyway, Brady didn't have
the key on him.

He had to give it
to this Michelle.

Well, Max didn't kill Michelle.

What's your concern about her,
Charlie?

Where is she?

The deal's over.

Oh, not hardly, Charlie.

You haven't been tryin'.

I guess that's up to you.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

SOAMES: You're taking this
awfully well, Charles.

Bar Sin nombre?

I can't sit through
another double-cross, frankly.

Gives one a very sore ass.

WAITER: Telephono para usted.

Great.

And what do I tell Deltoid,
Charlie?

Soames, se va?

SOAMES [OVER PHONE]: We haven't got it yet.

Uh-hmm.

SOAMES [OVER PHONE]:
But the girl's here.

You needn't bother.

SOAMES [OVER PHONE]:
You gave me the day.

Uh-hmm.

Uh-uh, there is no more time.

Brady's girlfriend
just called me.

She'll be here in one hour.

I'm dealing directly
with her now.

She insists that
she has no understanding

with any of you.

Stay in touch.

Well?

You bloody twit.

She's giving it to him herself.

Cut her own scam.

Nah, that's not possible.

-Not her.
-She's very good.

She did you, Charlie.

The bitch double-crossed you.

Oh, the deal is going down,

but it's going down twisted.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Taxi!

MAXINE: Shall we share a cab?

Brady planned for us
to be in the car

when it blew up.

Maxine was supposed
to be the witness.

And when everyone believed
we were dead,

we'd meet up back here.

RENO: Well at least Soames
was right about one thing.

Brady didn't have
the key on him.

Open him up.

I can't.

Open him up!

I can't.

It was your idea.

I can't.

Thanks a lot.

MICHELLE: It's not my fault
he swallowed it.

RENO: Oh, man.

Deltoid!

Well?

Nothing.

Three million dollars.

Give me the gloves.

Give me the gloves!

He's lucky they threw him out
the window.

So they wouldn't have to doan extensive autopsy.

Oh yeah?

He's one lucky stiff.

MAXINE: Look, I don't know
anything about a key

and I don't know anything
about a Crucible.

I wish I could help you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Deltoid.

I don't think you understand.

There's nothing to fear from me.

I'm the source.

Home base.

I merely want to conclude
this transaction,

that's all.

A young girl like you,

there's a lot you can do
with three million dollars.

Sorry I can't help you.

DELTOID:
Then why did you call earlier?

I didn't call.

Perhaps I'm mistaken
about other things as well.

Anna, [SPEAKS SPANISH]
gracias.

Five minutes.

Five minutes.

You two come to an arrangement.

MAXINE:
Mr. Deltoid, wait, please.

SOAMES: Let's cut the bullshit,shall we?

[SIGHS]

[COUGHS]

Looks like we have a winner.

Five minutes is not a long timeto come to terms.

So let's be brief.

He gets the cup,
I get the money

and you get to live.

That way, we all come out of it

and nobody loses face.

Alright!

Alright.

I'll tell you where it is.

Brilliant, love, where?

The billiard hall.

What billiard hall?

[SCOFFS] I'm not an idiot.

Prove it.

I'll take you there.

And I want half.

Your plane is ready,
Senor Deltoid.

DELTOID: [SPEAKS SPANISH]

Mr. Deltoid, Charlie sent me.

DELTOID: Charlie?

He has the Crucible.

He wants to make a new deal.

DELTOID: Uh-huh.

MICHELLE:Bring the three million dollars.

Am-mut, get the money.

AM-MUT: Yes, sir.

[LAUGHING]

Charlie, you did it again.

Eh, change your mind?
