AND YOU WANT ME TO
SEND YOU TO AUSTRALIA?
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A
GOOD OLD AUSTRALIAN WELCOME?
YOU FOUND HER, HUH?
OH, JUST OUT TRYING TO
DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE A
SHOWER. CARE TO JOIN ME?
WELL, HIS CAR WAS
BLOWN UP WITH HIM IN IT
ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, SUPPOSEDLY.
I DON'T DEAL WITH GANGSTERS.
STELLA, CUT TO
THE CHASE, PLEASE.
LET'S ALL SIT BACK, RELAX,
AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE.

FLIGHT 111 TO CANBERRA
HAS BEEN DELAYED.
PLEASE CONSULT ARRIVAL MONITOR
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
I GOT HERE TOO LATE.
THE SUITCASE IS
ON THE BLOODY PLANE.
YES! YES!
YEAH, I GOT MY PASSPORT WITH ME.
OK.
OK, LOOK, NO WORRIES, MATE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO.
BAGGAGE FOR FLIGHT 59...
LISTEN, YOU GOT ANY SPACE
ON THE LOS ANGELES FLIGHT?
IT LEAVES IN 15 MINUTES, SIR.
I KNOW WHEN IT BLOODY LEAVES.
WHAT I WANT IS A TICKET ON IT.
I HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE. DO YOU
HAVE YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU?
YES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY LUGGAGE?
WHAT THE BLOODY
HELL'S IT LOOK LIKE, LOVE?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
TRANSGLOBAL AIRLINES FLIGHT 604,
ORIGINATING IN
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA,
IS NOW BEGINNING
ITS FINAL APPROACH
INTO LOS ANGELES
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
PLEASE MEET ARRIVING PASSENGERS
AT GATE 26,
INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS.
HOW'D YOU HAPPEN TO
COME OVER AND FIND HER?
WELL, I KNEW ALICE WAS BACK 'CAUSE SHE'D
PICKED UP HER NEWSPAPERS AND THINGS,
SO I CAME OVER TO HEAR
ABOUT HER TRIP, AND...
AND THERE SHE WAS.
WHAT DO YOU GOT, BARNEY?
SHE'S GOT BRUISES ON THE
INNER SIDE OF HER FOREARMS,
LIKE SOMEBODY GRABBED HER AND
SHOOK HER BEFORE SHE WAS STRANGLED.
HMM. HER JEWELRY AND
HER CASH ARE UNTOUCHED,
BUT HER PURSE AND
LUGGAGE HAS BEEN SEARCHED.
SHE GOT HERE THIS MORNING
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
WHAT ABOUT IT, McCALL?
YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?
WANT A BRILLIANT DEDUCTION?
SOMEONE WAS
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.
MAYBE DRUGS?
FROM AUSTRALIA?
NO, THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE
RESIDENCE OF A DRUG TRAFFICKER.
WE'VE GOT AT LEAST 2 PRINTS
THAT DON'T MATCH HERS,
AND THEY'RE FRESH.
HIS NAME IS ALAN TRAVERS...
CAUCASIAN MALE; 38 YEARS OLD;
CURRENT RESIDENCE,
PADDINGTON, NEW SOUTH WALES,
IN AUSTRALIA;
3 ARRESTS, BURGLARY,
NO CONVICTIONS.
ONE ARREST, ASSAULT AND
BURGLARY, NO CONVICTION.
THIS GUY HAD A
PRETTY GOOD ATTORNEY.
I THINK THAT ALICE McGONIGLE
MUST HAVE BROUGHT SOMETHING
PRETTY IMPORTANT
INTO LOS ANGELES.
I'LL BET YOU 3 TO 1
THE KILLER IS OUT
OF THE COUNTRY.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL BET YOU LUNCH,
'CAUSE I THINK THE
ANSWER'S HERE.
YEAH? WELL, WE'RE
ABOUT TO FIND OUT.
TRAVERS SPLIT.
HE SPENT A GRAND TOTAL
OF 3 HOURS IN OUR FAIR LAND
AND HEADED BACK TO SYDNEY.
YOU OWE ME 3 VERY LARGE LUNCHES.
SO HE'S AN AUSTRALIAN
PROBLEM NOW.
WELL, THE MURDER
OCCURRED HERE, AMBROSE.
IT'S OUR PROBLEM.
THE AUSSIE
POLICE'LL PICK HIM UP,
THE D.A. WILL EXTRADITE HIM,
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU TWO ARE
AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT CASE UP.
I'D LIKE ONE OF MY
LUNCHES NOW, PLEASE.
EXCUSE ME. I WAS TOLD TO
SPEAK WITH DETECTIVE HUNTER.
THAT'S ME, HONEY.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS
KILLED, ALICE McGONIGLE,
SHE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER.
I'M CELIA,
CELIA McGONIGLE.
CELIA, HOW ARE YOU, HONEY?
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.
THIS CAME IN THE MAIL THIS
MORNING ADDRESSED TO ME
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
FROM THE HANDWRITING, I
KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER SENT IT.
WELL, WAS ANYTHING WITH
IT, LIKE A NOTE OR A LETTER?
NO. AND SHE ALWAYS WROTE ME LONG
LETTERS WHENEVER SHE WENT ON VACATION.
IT'S NOT LIKE HER AT ALL
TO JUST SEND SOMETHING.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHAT
WE HAVE HERE, DON'T YOU?
A McGUFFIN.
McCall: WELL, THAT'S NOT
TRAVERS. TRAVERS IS BLOND.
DO YOU HAVE A, UM,
MAGNIFYING GLASS?
WHAT? DO YOU SEE SOMETHING?
THAT'S STELLA GRAHAM.
STELLA GRAHAM?
YOU MEAN THE ONE THAT WORE
HER DRESSES CUT UP TO HER ARMPITS
AND DROVE THE RED PORSCHE?
THAT WAS PHYLLIS.
STELLA WAS WAY BEFORE YOUR TIME.
SHE'S BEEN MISSING
FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.
WE HAD A DINNER ENGAGEMENT ABOUT 3
YEARS AGO, AND SHE NEVER SHOWED UP.
AND?
WELL, NOTHING ILLEGAL.
SHE JUST DISAPPEARED.
SO AS FAR AS YOU
KNEW, SHE WAS DEAD.
YUP.
WELL, TELL ME THIS.
UM, WERE YOU IN LOVE WITH HER?
NO, I WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH HER,
AND SHE WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH ME,
BUT WE DID HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
HA HA HA.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WANTS TO KNOW THE GAS MILEAGE
EVERY TIME AN OFFICER
TRAVELS TO SANTA MONICA,
AND YOU WANT ME TO
SEND YOU TO AUSTRALIA?
CHARLIE, THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE
THIS MURDER CASE SOLVED.
NOW, TO MAKE MATTERS
WORSE, ALICE McGONIGLE,
SHE WORKED FOR THE
LOS ANGELES TIMES.
NOW, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO HAVE THIS MURDER CASE SOLVED.
THE TIMES, HUH?
WHAT'D SHE DO THERE?
SHE WORKED IN THE MORGUE.
SHE WORKED IN THE
DEPARTMENT THAT CLIPS OUT
THE ARTICLES AND THE
STORIES ABOUT V.I.P.s.
SHE WORKED THERE FOR 30 YEARS,
AND THEY ARE VERY UPSET.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA
IDENTIFY THIS GUY FROM THIS PHOTOGRAPH,
AND THIS WOMAN LOOKS LIKE
SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.
CAPTAIN, IT'S OBVIOUS.
ALICE McGONIGLE RECOGNIZED HIM,
AND SHE SNAPPED HIS PICTURE.
NOW, HE SENT SOMEONE
TO GET THE PICTURE BACK
AND TO... TAKE CARE OF HER,
BUT HE CAME BACK EMPTY-HANDED
BECAUSE SHE SENT THE FILM
BACK HERE TO HER GRANDDAUGHTER.
SO WHAT? THE AUSTRALIAN
POLICE CAN PUT THIS THING TO BED
BETTER AND FASTER THAN WE CAN.
IT'S THEIR TERRITORY.
CHARLIE, IT'S NOT THEIR CASE.
SERGEANT HUNTER, YOUR OVERSEAS
CALL HAS COME IN ON LINE 63.
THANK YOU.
HELLO?
WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?
YEAH. YES.
WELL, TELL HIM THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT WAS THE SYDNEY POLICE.
THEY FOUND ALAN TRAVERS...
DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.
I CAN'T SEND THE BOTH OF YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO GO,
YOU GOT TO GO ALONE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. I CAN
HOLD DOWN THINGS HERE.
YOU CAN SHOP.
McCALL, IT'S NOT GONNA HELP
TO BLOW THIS UP ANY LARGER.
THE RING IS JUST GONNA
GET BIGGER AND FUZZIER,
NOT CLEARER.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THIS.
WE CAN PUT CAMERAS ON MARS
AND TAKE NICE, CLEAR PICTURES,
BUT YOU CAN'T DO THIS?
THE OLD LADY USED A
TYPICAL $49 TOURIST CAMERA.
CAMERA ON MARS COSTS 20 MILLION.
GEORGE, I NEED THIS.
COME ON. HELP ME OUT.
OK. MAYBE THEY CAN HELP US
OVER AT THE JET PROPULSION
LABORATORY IN PASADENA.
THEY HAVE A COMPUTER THEY USE
FOR SPACE PHOTOS TO,
UH, ENHANCE DETAILS.
GREAT.
I KNEW YOU'D COME
THROUGH FOR ME. THANKS.
Woman: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA.
WE'LL BE LANDING AT THE
SYDNEY AIRPORT IN A FEW MINUTES.
PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS,
PUT YOUR SEATS IN
THE UPRIGHT POSITION,
AND EXTINGUISH YOUR CIGARETTES.
THANK YOU FOR
FLYING TRANSGLOBAL.

FLIGHT 716 FOR AUCKLAND
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 36.
PAGING MISS JAN MARR TO THE V.I.P.
RECEPTION AREA, PLEASE. MISS JAN MARR...
HUNTER?
I'M DESMOND EVANS WITH
THE NEW SOUTH WALES C.I.B.
OH, GREAT.

THIS IS THE FINAL
BOARDING CALL FOR FLIGHT 16
TO MELBOURNE, ADELAIDE, PERTH,
NOW LEAVING AT GATE 4.
THIS IS RUSSELL
WOODWARD, MY PARTNER.
RUSSELL, HOW ARE YOU?
G'DAY, MATE. HOW ARE YOU?
GEE, I DIDN'T, UH... I DIDN'T
EXPECT A WELCOMING COMMITTEE.
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A
GOOD OLD AUSTRALIAN WELCOME?
COME ON. WE'LL TAKE YOU TO
THE HOTEL, GET YOU CHECKED IN.
TERRIFIC. THANKS. THANK YOU.
FLIGHT 78, BRISBANE...
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON IN.
ROOM OK?
YEAH. VERY NICE.
CAN I GET YOU GUYS ANYTHING?
NO, WE GOT TO GET GOING. BUT IF THERE'S
ANYTHING YOU WANT, ANYTHING YOU NEED,
GIVE US A CALL, AND
WE'LL TRY AND PROVIDE.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU
TO GET INTO ANY TROUBLE
THAT ISN'T NECESSARY.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
THERE IS ONE THING.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS WOMAN?
HER NAME IS STELLA GRAHAM.
I RECKON DESMOND HERE
KNOWS EVERY BIRD IN AUSTRALIA.
DON'T YOU, DES?
WELL, ALMOST.
PITY I MISSED OUT ON THIS ONE.
DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOT
SOMETHING TO DO WITH TRAVERS,
THAT BLOKE WHO GOT KNOCKED OFF
AFTER HE ARRIVED
HERE FROM LOS ANGELES?
THAT ALL DEPENDS ON
WHO THAT FELLOW IS.
YOU'LL NOTICE
STELLA'S IN THE SHOT.
IS THIS THE PICTURE
ALICE McGONIGLE TOOK?
YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE THEY'RE
TOGETHER, MATE?
NO, I'M NOT SURE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I GOTTA FIND OUT.
IS STELLA GRAHAM THE
NAME SHE'D BE USING HERE?
I DOUBT IT.
SHE WORKED IN A
BANK IN LOS ANGELES.
I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY START
WITH THE BANKS HERE IN AUSTRALIA.
SO WE MAY BE LOOKING
AT A MAJOR EXPENDITURE
IN SHOE LEATHER ON THIS ONE.
YEAH.
LOOK, SPORT, WE
GO OFF DUTY IN A BIT,
BUT WE'LL JUMP ALL OVER THIS
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
WE'LL STAY IN TOUCH
WITH YOU, MATE.
YEAH. APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
DID YOU GUYS FIND OUT
WHO KILLED TRAVERS?
NO. WE CAME UP
EMPTY ON THAT ONE,
BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.
GOOD.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
TAKE CARE.
YEAH. THANK YOU.
OH, YOU'RE EARLY.
GOOD MORNING. G'DAY, MATE.
I'VE BEEN GOING
THROUGH TRAVERS' FILE.
YOU MIGHT LIKE TO START WITH
HIS GIRLFRIEND, KATE SCANLON.
SHE'S A BARMAID AT THE CROSS,
VERY UNCOOPERATIVE.
IF YOU TALK TO HER, DON'T
LET HER KNOW YOU'RE A COP,
'CAUSE WHOEVER KILLED HER
BOYFRIEND'S GOT HER RUNNING SCARED.
I'LL START THERE.
I'LL NEED DIRECTIONS.
OH, HUNTER, IF YOU'RE
PLANNING ON USING YOUR GUN,
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO AUTHORIZE
IT WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
OK.
SO UNTIL THEN...
THANKS, MATE.
I THINK YOU'LL
FIND IT. GOOD LUCK.
G'DAY. HOW YOU DOING?
PRETTY GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
YANK, ARE YOU?
YEP.
WHAT'LL IT BE?
BEER.
NEW OR OLD?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NEW OR OLD?
NEW IS LIGHT. OLD IS DARK.
YOU'D LIKE THE NEW.
GIVE ME A NEW ONE.
YOU DOWN FOR SOME CLEAN AIR?
OH, ACTUALLY, I'M
HERE ON BUSINESS.
MY COMPANY SELLS R.P.M.
SYSTEMS FOR LATHES.
LATHES?
YEAH. THANK YOU.
FUNNY. YOU LOOK
LIKE AN AMERICAN COP.
WELL, I'M NOT A COP.
THANKS FOR THE
COMPLIMENT, BUT, UH...
YOU SEE, MY COMPANY MAKES
VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED R.P.M. SYSTEMS
FOR LATHES THAT WORK
WITH SERVO FEEDBACK LOOPS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HEAR ABOUT THE LOOPS?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
G'DAY, FREDDY.
PINT OF THE USUAL?
ANOTHER BEER, RICHARD?
YES, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW, YOU REMIND ME
OF A GIRL BACK IN THE STATES.
SHE'S VERY PRETTY.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
I'M MARRIED TO THIS PUB.
WELL, PERHAPS I COULD
TAKE YOU TO A BETTER ONE.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO
DO WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE
IS GO TO ANOTHER PUB.
THANK YOU.
WELL, MAYBE WE COULD GO OUT
TO A NICE RESTAURANT IN SYDNEY.
WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?
WHY?
WHY NOT?
HA HA HA!
OK.
MY NAME'S KATE,
AND IF YOU REALLY
MEAN IT ABOUT TONIGHT,
YOU CAN PICK ME UP AT 10:30.
GOOD. 10:30 IT IS.
WRITE DOWN YOUR ADDRESS FOR ME.
WELL, HERE'S A BLOKE WHO
BELIEVES IN BEING ON TIME.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M RUNNING A BIT
BEHIND, MYSELF.
PULL UP A PEW.
Man: TURN AROUND.
NICE AND EASY, OK?
PUT YOUR HANDS ON
TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
LOOK, I JUST CAME FOR DINNER.
LOOK, YOU GUYS ARE MAKING
A VERY, VERY LARGE MISTAKE.
ALL I REALLY WANT TO
DO IS GET A GOOD MEAL.
WHERE'S THE PHOTOGRAPH?
WHAT PHOTOGRAPH?
THE SNAPSHOT, THE
ONE THE OLD LADY TOOK.
YOU'VE GOT IT, AND WE WANT IT.
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE THAT TO ME,
OR I'LL BLOW YOUR KIDNEYS OUT.
IT'S IN MY BREAST POCKET.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MOVE,
MATE. SHE'LL SHOOT YOU.
EASY, KATE, NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE,
BUT JUST GIVE ME THE GUN.
ARE YOU GONNA SHOOT ME?
COME ON.
COME ON. GIVE ME THE GUN.
KATE!
GOOD.
I'LL RUN A CHECK ON IT,
SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH.
OH, COMMISSIONER OKed IT.
TERRIFIC. THANKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT KATE SCANLON.
SHE'S A SCARED GIRL.
I CALLED KATE SCANLON'S BOSS.
HE SAID SHE CALLED IN
AND SAID SHE WAS QUITTING,
NOT TO SEND HER FINAL PAYCHECK
BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE
A FORWARDING ADDRESS.
WHOEVER IT WAS WHO
SENT THOSE GUYS AFTER ME
WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'S NOT
RECOGNIZABLE IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH.
YOU KNOW, THIS BLOKE
MUST BE PRETTY IMPORTANT,
PROBABLY AN AMERICAN, IF THE
OLD AMERICAN LADY RECOGNIZED HIM.
THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.
HOW ABOUT STELLA GRAHAM?
NO, NOTHING ON HER YET.
NOT FOR THE WANT
OF TRYING, EITHER.
THANKS FOR THIS.
HELLO.
Woman: HELLO, RICK.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME.
DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?
YEAH, I KNOW WHO THIS IS.
CAN WE GET TOGETHER?
WHERE?
THE BEDROOM OF SUITE 1506
AT THE HOTEL ROYALE. HURRY.
HI, STELLA.
YOU LOOK TERRIFIC.
SO DO YOU.
NOW, WHERE'S THAT BEDROOM?
THE POLICE ARE SHOWING A PICTURE
OF ME AT THE BANKS HERE IN SYDNEY.
THE NAME THEY HAVE
IS STELLA GRAHAM,
AND THE PICTURE'S ONE YOU
TOOK OF ME AT MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN.
WHY?
WHAT HAPPENED?
OR DID YOU JUST START MISSING
ME LIKE I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU?
STELLA, IF YOU'D HAD THE
DECENCY TO SEND ME A POSTCARD
AND TELL ME WHY YOU
DISAPPEARED 3 YEARS AGO,
YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THE TAXPAYERS
OF LOS ANGELES AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY.
I COULDN'T.
WHY?
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I
DISAPPEARED, AS YOU PUT IT,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
SCREW UP A LITTLE INTEREST
IN THE INTERNATIONAL
MONEY MARKET.
STELLA, WHAT NAME ARE
YOU USING HERE IN AUSTRALIA?
LAUTER. ANN LAUTER.
L-A-U-T-E-R.
LET'S SAY A MAN WANTS TO BUY
AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
FROM THE UNITED STATES.
AT THE OFFICIAL EXCHANGE RATE,
THE COST OF THE SYSTEM
IS A MILLION DOLLARS.
HE GETS IN TOUCH
WITH A SPECIALIST
WHO KNOWS HOW TO
BYPASS THE OFFICIAL RATE
AND GET IT FOR HIM AT A
SAVINGS OF, SAY, $100,000.
THERE ARE A LOT OF
THOSE SPECIALISTS AROUND,
AND I'M ONE OF THEM.
I WAS ONE IN L.A.
IN FACT, THE JOB AT THE BANK
WAS JUST A HELPFUL COVER.
OH, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I
WASN'T DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL,
BUT THE PEOPLE THAT
I WAS DEALING WITH,
IT'S USUALLY
ILLEGAL AT THEIR END.
STELLA, CUT TO
THE CHASE, PLEASE.
IT'S A RISKY BUSINESS,
AND I GOT BURNED.
I WAS BUYING DOLLARS WITH YEN,
AND A TRANSACTION GOT DELAYED.
THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR WENT
UP, AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE SPREAD.
HOW MUCH MONEY WE TALKING ABOUT?
I HAD TO COME UP WITH A
MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS,
AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT.
IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME, RICK,
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF CAPITAL, AND I DIDN'T.
I GOT IN WAY OVER MY HEAD,
AND I HAD TO HIDE, WHICH IS WHY I
COULDN'T SEND YOU THAT POSTCARD.
SO, IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE
NOW HERE, IS A SPECIALIST?
YEAH.
BUT I'M A LOT MORE CAREFUL NOW,
AND IT'S ALL VERY LEGAL.
STILL ANGRY?
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT
FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, STELLA,
AND WHAT I'VE DECIDED IS...
YOU NEED A GOOD SPANKING.
I HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR
EGGS SCRAMBLED.
I LIKE THEM ANY
WAY. BRING 'EM OVER.
HERE.
RICK, HOW DID YOU
KNOW I WAS IN AUSTRALIA?
HAND ME MY JACKET
THERE, ON THE...
SIT DOWN.
REMEMBER THAT PHOTOGRAPH?
YES, I DO REMEMBER IT.
IT WAS ONLY ABOUT
8 OR 10 DAYS AGO.
SOMEONE TOOK A PICTURE OF A
MAN, AND HE THREW HIS ARM UP
AND SCARED ME
NEARLY HALF TO DEATH,
AND THEN I THINK HE CHASED
AFTER WHOEVER TOOK THE PICTURE.
YOU WEREN'T WITH THE
FELLOW IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
CERTAINLY NOT. I
WAS SHOPPING ALONE.
WHO IS HE?
IN FACT, WHERE IS HE?
I CROPPED HIM OUT.
THE MAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH
IS AFTER THIS PICTURE.
HE WANTS TO SEE IF
HE'S RECOGNIZABLE.
WHO IS HE, JIMMY HOFFA?
YOU DON'T KNOW?
NO.
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
TELL ME, EITHER, ARE YOU?
OK. I'M GONNA GO TAKE A SHOWER.
HEY...
CARE TO JOIN ME?
YEAH.
HELLO.
McCall: HELLO, HUNTER.
WELL, HELLO, SERGEANT.
I'VE GOT SOME REAL
INTERESTING NEWS FOR YOU.
DID YOU NOTICE THAT
OUR MYSTERY MAN,
THE GUY THAT DIDN'T WANT HIS
PICTURE TAKEN, WAS WEARING A RING?
SO?
WELL, I TOOK THE NEGATIVE
TO THE JET PROPULSION LAB,
AND I HAD THEM ENHANCE
IT ELECTRONICALLY...
YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT THEY
DO WITH BOULDERS ON MARS...
AND I SENT THE PROCESSED
COPY OF THIS RING TO THE FBI.
THEY HAD A RECORD ON THIS THING.
YOU READY FOR THIS?
IT'S THE CLASS RING OF A PAROCHIAL
SCHOOL IN TRENTON, NEW JERSEY.
THAT'S INTERESTING?
IT'S JUST THAT THIS SCHOOL
HAD ONE FAMOUS GRADUATE.
THE GUY NEVER TOOK HIS RING OFF.
I MEAN, HE WAS SUPERSTITIOUS
ABOUT IT. HE NEVER TOOK IT OFF.
I GIVE. WHO WAS IT?
ANTHONY TRENTON "TONY" PARRIS.
TONY PARRIS? COME ON. HE WAS
BLOWN UP IN A CAR 5 YEARS AGO.
I KNOW THAT. AS A MATTER OF
FACT, HE WAS BLOWN TO BITS.
THEY IDENTIFIED THE BODY BY THE
RING AND BY HIS DENTAL RECORDS.
THE RING WAS
CLAIMED BY HIS FAMILY,
AND THE DENTIST DIED A
COUPLE OF YEARS LATER.
THE FBI SAYS THE BOMBING SAVED
PARRIS FROM A LONG PRISON TERM,
BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY
WERE GETTING READY TO BUST HIM.
VERY NICE PIECE OF
POLICE WORK, McCALL.
THANK YOU. I FIGURE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
SOMEBODY ELSE'S BODY IN THE CAR,
AND DENTAL RECORDS COULD
HAVE BEEN COOKED, RIGHT?
SO WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
OH, JUST OUT TRYING TO
DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?
DON'T TELL ME I GOT THE
TIME ZONES MIXED UP, EITHER.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
LIKE I SAY, I WAS OUT TRYING
TO DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
YOU FOUND HER, HUH?
GOOD-BYE. I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
HELLO!
IS THIS MY YANK FRIEND?
YOU GOT A LOT OF GUTS
CALLING ME HERE, KATE.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
HARRY, THE BLOKE
WITH THE POCKED FACE,
HE TOLD ME WHO YOU ARE,
AND I FOUND YOUR HOTEL
BY RINGING A DOZEN OF THEM.
I NEED TO SEE YOU.
YEAH! NO, YOU
DON'T. NO, THANK YOU.
YOU ALREADY SET ME UP ONCE.
I'M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU
A SECOND CHANCE AT IT.
LISTEN, I THINK I
CAN DO YOU A FAVOR,
BUT I CAN'T TALK
ABOUT IT ON THE PHONE.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO COME HERE, THEN.
OK. I'LL COME OVER THERE. WHEN?
MEET ME OUTSIDE THE ELEVATOR
ON THE SECOND FLOOR, 3:00.
I'LL BE THERE.
HI.
HELLO.
AH! I WANT TO BE AS CLOSE
TO YOU AS I CAN POSSIBLY GET.
I GOT HERE EARLY BECAUSE I HAVE TO
LEAVE YOU AGAIN IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR.
OH, NO.
CAN WE HAVE DINNER HERE TONIGHT?
CERTAINLY. THANK YOU.
6:30? I KNOW THAT'S EARLY,
BUT I WANT TO GO
TO BED EARLY, TOO,
BEFORE I GET TIRED OR
SLEEPY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
GOOD THINKING.
YOU KNOW TONY PARRIS?
WELL, I'VE HEARD
OF HIM, OF COURSE.
THE MOBSTER, IS
THAT WHO YOU MEAN?
THAT'S WHO I MEAN.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS?
YOU DON'T THINK HE'S THE
MAN IN THE PICTURE, DO YOU?
HE'S DEAD.
WELL, HIS CAR WAS BLOWN UP
WITH HIM IN IT
ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO,
SUPPOSEDLY.
RICK, I DON'T DEAL
WITH GANGSTERS.
THE PEOPLE I DEAL WITH AREN'T
EXACTLY MEMBERS OF ELITE CLUBS,
BUT THEY DON'T GO AROUND
BLOWING EACH OTHER UP.
DO YOU STILL THINK I
KNOW WHO THAT MAN WAS?
YOU'RE PIECING THIS
TOGETHER VERY NICELY.
WELL, I DON'T,
AND I NEVER KNEW
TONY PARRIS, EITHER.
LET'S EAT.
I'M STARVING.
YOU'RE VERY PRETTY TODAY.
THANKS.
SHOULD I BOTHER WITH
UNDERNEATH THE BED?
OK, KATE, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I NEED SOME MONEY.
HO!
$300. IT'LL GET ME TO MELBOURNE,
AND I CAN STAY THERE TILL ALL
THIS IS SETTLED OR FORGOTTEN.
I HAVE A SISTER
THERE. SHE'S MARRIED.
THEY WON'T FIND ME THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT?
HARRY BLAMES ME FOR NOT USING
THAT GUN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE.
HE CAME TO THE
PUB LOOKING FOR ME.
HE THINKS I DID IT ON
PURPOSE TO HELP YOU.
WHAT DO I GET FOR MY 300 BUCKS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHERE
YOU CAN FIND HARRY.
YOU DO WANT TO KNOW, DON'T YOU?
WELL, SURE I DO.
THIS IS WHERE HE LIVES.
HE WON'T BE THERE NOW, BUT HE
WILL SOMETIME AFTER 6:00 OR 7:00.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT
ALAN TRAVERS' BUSINESS?
HE NEVER TALKED BUSINESS TO ME.
I REALLY TRULY DON'T KNOW WHO HE
WORKED FOR OR WHAT HE WAS UP TO.
I REALLY DON'T!
BUT HE DID KNOW HARRY.
YEAH. THEY WERE
MIXED UP TOGETHER.
MM-HMM. YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY
AS SOON AS I FIND OUT YOU'RE
NOT TRYING TO SET ME UP AGAIN.
LOOK, HARRY FORCED
ME TO SET YOU UP.
I'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO!
I CAN'T GO BACK TO MY FLAT.
OK. YOU CAN STAY HERE. USE
THE PHONE. ORDER ROOM SERVICE.
OH, AND, UH...
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A
FELLOW BY THE NAME OF TONY PARRIS?
NO. WHO IS HE?
IF THE PHONE RINGS,
DON'T ANSWER IT.
EXCUSE ME.
DID ANN LAUTER IN ROOM
1506 LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR ME?
RICK HUNTER.
THAT ROOM IS UNOCCUPIED.
THE PARTY IN ROOM 1506
WAS A MRS. MARY CLARK,
BUT SHE CHECKED OUT AT 1 P.M.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
SHE CHECKED OUT
AT 1 P.M. TODAY, SIR.
SHE CHECKED IN YESTERDAY.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
AREN'T YOU THE GENTLEMAN
I SEATED AT TABLE 12?
YEAH, I AM.
WILL YOU BE USING
THE TABLE, SIR?
UH, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
I'M VERY SORRY.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SIT THERE
AND WAIT, YOU CERTAINLY MAY.
OH. WELL, UH, THE LAST
TIME THAT HAPPENED,
I WAS KEPT WAITING FOR 3 YEARS.
EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY.
HIYA, HARRY!
PUT YOUR HANDS
ON THE WALL. MOVE IT!
DON'T MOVE, HARRY.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO
HAVE TO SHOOT YOU.
IN THE CHAIR. COME ON.
COME ON. SIT DOWN.
NOW, HARRY, I WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE
NAME OF THE MAN THAT SENT YOU
TO TAKE THAT
PHOTOGRAPH AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW THAT BLOKE.
I MEAN, HE CAME
UP TO OWNIE AND ME
AT THE PUB WHERE KATE WORKS,
GAVE US THE DOUGH, AND
TOLD US WHAT HE WANTED.
DIDN'T GIVE US A NAME.
HARRY, I WANT YOU TO TELL
ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW...
OR I'M GOING TO THROW
YOU OUT THAT WINDOW.
GIVE ME THE NAME.
LET'S GO, HARRY.
COME ON.
DON'T TURN AROUND. I WANT
YOU TO SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
SEE YOU, HARRY.
WAIT!
ALL I GOT WAS AN ADDRESS...
WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED
TO SEND THE PICTURE.
I SWEAR THAT'S ALL I GOT.
TURN AROUND.
COME ON.
LET ME HAVE IT.
"BARONGA STATION, NEW
DEVON, NORTHERN TERRITORY."
WHERE THE HELL IS THIS?
NEW DEVON IS IN THE OUTBACK.
YOU'LL HAVE TO HIRE A
4-WHEELER TO TAKE YOU THERE,
OR A PLANE IF YOU'RE IN
SUCH A BLOODY HURRY.
SIT DOWN. COME ON.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
NOW, YOU GAVE ME AN ADDRESS.
NOW I WANT A NAME...
OR SO HELP ME, I'M GOING
TO BLOW OUT YOUR KIDNEYS.
I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW.
GO AHEAD AND SHOOT ME.
I DON'T KNOW!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MATE?
GIVE ME THE POLICE.
I GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ASK FOR,
THEN YOU SQUEAL TO THE COPS?
SIT DOWN, HARRY.
SIT.
YES, MA'AM.
THIS IS SERGEANT HUNTER.
I'M WORKING WITH EVANS
AND WOODWARD OF YOUR C.I.B.
I'VE JUST MADE AN ARREST. I
NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.
YES. I'LL HOLD.
LOOK, MATE, THAT
ADDRESS WAS DINKUM.
WHY DON'T YOU BE A GOOD BLOKE,
JUST LET ME SLIP
AWAY INTO THE NIGHT?
HARRY, I'M NOT
GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN.
SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN.
YES, MA'AM.
GOOD.
I'M AT 410 EDMONTON.
YEAH, ROOM 312.
I WILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Tell him to come in.
COME ON IN, OWNIE.
HI, OWNIE.
PUT YOUR HANDS
UP THERE. MOVE IT!
SIT DOWN ON THE COUCH, HARRY.
OK, OWNIE.
GET YOUR HANDS UP THERE.
SIT ON THE COUCH, OWNIE.
THERE.
LET'S ALL SIT BACK, RELAX,
AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE.
WHO IS IT?
Hunter: IT'S ME. OPEN UP.
VERY CUTE.
COVERS MORE, TOO.
THE PHONE ONLY RANG ONCE.
YEAH?
EVANS? WAKE UP. IT'S HUNTER.
WHAT'S THE BLOODY TIME?
2:30 A.M.
THIS BETTER BE URGENT.
IT IS. I JUST HAD 2
SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
I DON'T WANT THEM
TALKING TO ANYBODY
FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
SECOND OF ALL, AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU AT
YOUR OFFICE RIGHT NOW.
OK, LISTEN, GIVE ME AN HOUR,
AND I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
I LIVE IN THE SOUTH BANK.
YOU GOT IT.
Kate: YOU LEAVING AGAIN?
YEAH, IN 45 MINUTES.
45 MINUTES?
THAT'S A LONG TIME.
LOOK, FELLAS,
YOUR OWN COMPUTER PRINTOUT SHEET
SHOWS THAT THE BARONGA
STATION IS OWNED BY A LEON BURKETT.
I THINK BURKETT IS TONY PARRIS.
NOW, BEFORE IT GETS TOO
LATE, LET'S GET THE WARRANT,
FLY TO THE OUTBACK,
AND SERVE THE GUY.
AND HOW DO WE GET THE
COURT TO ISSUE THE WARRANT?
WHAT'S THE BASIS FOR IT?
2 COUNTS OF MURDER,
ONE ATTEMPT ON MY LIFE.
YEAH, SURE, I CAN GET A WARRANT,
BUT SUPPOSING THIS MR. BURKETT TURNS
OUT TO BE A FINE, UPSTANDING CITIZEN.
YOU'RE GONE, AND ME AND MY PARTNER
HERE ARE LEFT LOOKING LIKE A PAIR OF DILLS.
Man: SO WHEN
BURKETT'S ON HIS STATION,
HIS MATES FLY IN, LIKE PUTTING
THE CAT AMONGST THE PIGEONS.
THERE'S NEVER ANY
TROUBLE, THOUGH.
IS THIS A WORKING RANCH,
OR IS IT JUST A PLACE FOR BURKETT
TO GET AWAY FROM THE CITY?
OH, NO. BUSINESS.
CATTLE, MOSTLY.
BUT HE'S NOT FAIR
DINKUM COUNTRY.
I BELIEVE HE'S GOT
A JOB IN THE CITY.
SEEMS AWFULLY LONESOME OUT HERE.
IN THE OUTBACK, SERGEANT HUNTER,
A MAN CAN SEE FURTHER AND SEE
LESS THAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
PRIVACY WAS INVENTED HERE.
DOES BURKETT HAVE AN ACCENT?
I'VE NEVER MET HIM, BUT
THEY SAY HE'S CANADIAN.
HA! THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
HOW FAR TILL WE GET
TO BURKETT STATION?
YOU'VE BEEN ON IT FOR
THE LAST 20 MINUTES.
THE HOMESTEAD'S
JUST OVER THOSE TREES,
AND THE CHAIN GATES ARE
ABOUT 2K DOWN THE ROAD.
Evans: TEXANS COME
HERE TO LEARN HUMILITY.
SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN, BOYS?
WELL, IT WOULD HELP IF ONE OF
US KNEW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE.
I KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
IN THAT CASE, ALL WE DO...
WE DRIVE IN, GRAB
HIM, AND HAUL HIM OFF.
MAYBE OUR PROBLEM'S
ABOUT TO BE SOLVED.
Man: YOU BLOKES ARE
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
G'DAY, JACK. I DIDN'T
KNOW YOU WERE WORKING
OUT THIS FAR.
G'DAY, CONSTABLE.
YOU'RE FERGUSON?
YEAH. WHAT'S THE
IDEA OF THE RIFLES?
DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS
YOU, CONSTABLE,
BUT THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.
WHEN I HAVE A WARRANT,
NO PROPERTY'S PRIVATE.
I INTEND TO SERVE IT,
SO YOU CAN PUT DOWN THOSE GUNS.
MR. BURKETT SAID TO STOP YOU.
YEAH, HE SAID TO STOP YOU AND
TURN YOU BACK WHERE YOU COME FROM.
IF YOU DO, YOU'LL
BE BREAKING THE LAW.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU'LL
BE RISKING YOUR LIVES.
I'M ARMED. I INTEND
TO COME THROUGH.
COME ON. THEY'RE
STALLING US, FERGUSON.
YOU SEE THAT AIRPLANE?
IT'S COMING IN HERE
TO PICK UP BURKETT.
WE NEED THOSE RIFLES.
HAND OVER THOSE RIFLES. COME ON!
HEY, DON'T BE STUPID, FELLAS.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
GET OUT OF THAT PLANE
WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
GET OUT OF THAT PLANE RIGHT NOW!
THE NEXT SHOTS COULD
BLOW YOUR PETROL TANK.
HMM. TONY PARRIS. THAT'S HIM.
Ferguson: THE PILOT WILL
STEP OUT OF THE PLANE.
THE PILOT WILL PLEASE STEP
OUT WITH HIS HANDS RAISED.
STELLA.
I HAVE HERE A WARRANT FOR
THE ARREST OF TONY PARRIS,
ALSO KNOWN AS LEON BURKETT.
YOU TWO WILL BE
HELD FOR QUESTIONING.
INTO THE JEEP, PLEASE.
I WANT A MOMENT
WITH HER, PLEASE.
GO AHEAD.
STELLA, WHAT THE
HELL ARE YOU DOING?
HOW'D YOU GET MIXED
UP WITH THIS JERK?
RICK, YOU'RE THE ONLY MAN I
EVER KNEW THAT I DIDN'T USE.
BUT MONEY CAME FIRST, AND
TONY PARRIS SUPPLIED MY CAPITAL.
2 MORE YEARS, AND I WOULD
HAVE HAD ENOUGH TO QUIT.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW DEEPLY
YOU'RE INVOLVED IN THIS THING,
BUT I HAVE AN IDEA YOU'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO WRITE ME THOSE POSTCARDS.
NOT TOO MANY, I HOPE.
COME ON.
SEND YOU TO AUSTRALIA?
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A
GOOD OLD AUSTRALIAN WELCOME?
YOU FOUND HER, HUH?
OH, JUST OUT TRYING TO
DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
I'M GONNA GO TAKE A
SHOWER. CARE TO JOIN ME?
WELL, HIS CAR WAS
BLOWN UP WITH HIM IN IT
ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO, SUPPOSEDLY.
I DON'T DEAL WITH GANGSTERS.
STELLA, CUT TO
THE CHASE, PLEASE.
LET'S ALL SIT BACK, RELAX,
AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE.
FLIGHT 716 FOR AUCKLAND
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 36.
FLIGHT 716 FOR AUCKLAND
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 36.
FLIGHT 111 TO CANBERRA

PLEASE CONSULT
AN ARRIVAL MONITOR
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
FLIGHT 111 TO CANBERRA
HAS BEEN DELAYED.
PLEASE CONSULT ARRIVAL MONITOR
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.
I GOT HERE TOO LATE.
THE SUITCASE IS
ON THE BLOODY PLANE.
YES! YES!
YEAH, I GOT MY PASSPORT WITH ME.
OK.
OK, LOOK, NO WORRIES, MATE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO.
BAGGAGE FOR FLIGHT 59...
LISTEN, YOU GOT ANY SPACE
ON THE LOS ANGELES FLIGHT?
IT LEAVES IN 15 MINUTES, SIR.
I KNOW WHEN IT BLOODY LEAVES.
WHAT I WANT IS A TICKET ON IT.
I HAVE SPACE AVAILABLE. DO YOU
HAVE YOUR PASSPORT WITH YOU?
YES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY LUGGAGE?
WHAT THE BLOODY
HELL'S IT LOOK LIKE, LOVE?
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
TRANSGLOBAL AIRLINES FLIGHT 604,
ORIGINATING IN
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA,
IS NOW BEGINNING
ITS FINAL APPROACH
INTO LOS ANGELES
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.
PLEASE MEET ARRIVING PASSENGERS
AT GATE 26,
INTERNATIONAL ARRIVALS.
HOW'D YOU HAPPEN TO
COME OVER AND FIND HER?
WELL, I KNEW ALICE WAS BACK 'CAUSE SHE'D
PICKED UP HER NEWSPAPERS AND THINGS,
SO I CAME OVER TO HEAR
ABOUT HER TRIP, AND...
AND THERE SHE WAS.
WHAT DO YOU GOT, BARNEY?
SHE'S GOT BRUISES ON THE
INNER SIDE OF HER FOREARMS,
LIKE SOMEBODY GRABBED HER AND
SHOOK HER BEFORE SHE WAS STRANGLED.
HMM. HER JEWELRY AND
HER CASH ARE UNTOUCHED,
BUT HER PURSE AND
LUGGAGE HAS BEEN SEARCHED.
SHE GOT HERE THIS MORNING
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
WHAT ABOUT IT, McCALL?
YOU GOT ANY IDEAS?
WANT A BRILLIANT DEDUCTION?
SOMEONE WAS
LOOKING FOR SOMETHING.
MAYBE DRUGS?
FROM AUSTRALIA?
NO, THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THE
RESIDENCE OF A DRUG TRAFFICKER.
WE'VE GOT AT LEAST 2 PRINTS
THAT DON'T MATCH HERS,
AND THEY'RE FRESH.
HIS NAME IS ALAN TRAVERS...
CAUCASIAN MALE; 38 YEARS OLD;
CURRENT RESIDENCE,
PADDINGTON, NEW SOUTH WALES,
IN AUSTRALIA;
3 ARRESTS, BURGLARY,
NO CONVICTIONS.
ONE ARREST, ASSAULT AND
BURGLARY, NO CONVICTION.
THIS GUY HAD A
PRETTY GOOD ATTORNEY.
I THINK THAT ALICE McGONIGLE
MUST HAVE BROUGHT SOMETHING
PRETTY IMPORTANT
INTO LOS ANGELES.
I'LL BET YOU 3 TO 1
THE KILLER IS OUT
OF THE COUNTRY.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL BET YOU LUNCH,
'CAUSE I THINK THE
ANSWER'S HERE.
YEAH? WELL, WE'RE
ABOUT TO FIND OUT.
TRAVERS SPLIT.
HE SPENT A GRAND TOTAL
OF 3 HOURS IN OUR FAIR LAND
AND HEADED BACK TO SYDNEY.
YOU OWE ME 3 VERY LARGE LUNCHES.
SO HE'S AN AUSTRALIAN
PROBLEM NOW.
WELL, THE MURDER
OCCURRED HERE, AMBROSE.
IT'S OUR PROBLEM.
THE AUSSIE
POLICE'LL PICK HIM UP,
THE D.A. WILL EXTRADITE HIM,
WHICH MEANS THAT YOU TWO ARE
AVAILABLE FOR THE NEXT CASE UP.
I'D LIKE ONE OF MY
LUNCHES NOW, PLEASE.
EXCUSE ME. I WAS TOLD TO
SPEAK WITH DETECTIVE HUNTER.
THAT'S ME, HONEY.
THE WOMAN WHO WAS
KILLED, ALICE McGONIGLE,
SHE WAS MY GRANDMOTHER.
I'M CELIA,
CELIA McGONIGLE.
CELIA, HOW ARE YOU, HONEY?
THIS IS SERGEANT McCALL.
THIS CAME IN THE MAIL THIS
MORNING ADDRESSED TO ME
FROM SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA.
FROM THE HANDWRITING, I
KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER SENT IT.
WELL, WAS ANYTHING WITH
IT, LIKE A NOTE OR A LETTER?
NO. AND SHE ALWAYS WROTE ME LONG
LETTERS WHENEVER SHE WENT ON VACATION.
IT'S NOT LIKE HER AT ALL
TO JUST SEND SOMETHING.
OF COURSE, YOU KNOW WHAT
WE HAVE HERE, DON'T YOU?
A McGUFFIN.
McCall: WELL, THAT'S NOT
TRAVERS. TRAVERS IS BLOND.
DO YOU HAVE A, UM,
MAGNIFYING GLASS?
WHAT? DO YOU SEE SOMETHING?
THAT'S STELLA GRAHAM.
STELLA GRAHAM?
YOU MEAN THE ONE THAT WORE
HER DRESSES CUT UP TO HER ARMPITS
AND DROVE THE RED PORSCHE?
THAT WAS PHYLLIS.
STELLA WAS WAY BEFORE YOUR TIME.
SHE'S BEEN MISSING
FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS.
WE HAD A DINNER ENGAGEMENT ABOUT 3
YEARS AGO, AND SHE NEVER SHOWED UP.
AND?
WELL, NOTHING ILLEGAL.
SHE JUST DISAPPEARED.
SO AS FAR AS YOU
KNEW, SHE WAS DEAD.
YUP.
WELL, TELL ME THIS.
UM, WERE YOU IN LOVE WITH HER?
NO, I WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH HER,
AND SHE WAS NOT IN LOVE WITH ME,
BUT WE DID HAVE A LOT OF FUN.
HA HA HA.
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
WANTS TO KNOW THE GAS MILEAGE
EVERY TIME AN OFFICER
TRAVELS TO SANTA MONICA,
AND YOU WANT ME TO
SEND YOU TO AUSTRALIA?
CHARLIE, THE BOARD
OF SUPERVISORS
WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE
THIS MURDER CASE SOLVED.
NOW, TO MAKE MATTERS
WORSE, ALICE McGONIGLE,
SHE WORKED FOR THE
LOS ANGELES TIMES.
NOW, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO HAVE THIS MURDER CASE SOLVED.
THE TIMES, HUH?
WHAT'D SHE DO THERE?
SHE WORKED IN THE MORGUE.
SHE WORKED IN THE
DEPARTMENT THAT CLIPS OUT
THE ARTICLES AND THE
STORIES ABOUT V.I.P.s.
SHE WORKED THERE FOR 30 YEARS,
AND THEY ARE VERY UPSET.
THERE IS NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA
IDENTIFY THIS GUY FROM THIS PHOTOGRAPH,
AND THIS WOMAN LOOKS LIKE
SHE JUST HAPPENED TO BE THERE.
CAPTAIN, IT'S OBVIOUS.
ALICE McGONIGLE RECOGNIZED HIM,
AND SHE SNAPPED HIS PICTURE.
NOW, HE SENT SOMEONE
TO GET THE PICTURE BACK
AND TO... TAKE CARE OF HER,
BUT HE CAME BACK EMPTY-HANDED
BECAUSE SHE SENT THE FILM
BACK HERE TO HER GRANDDAUGHTER.
SO WHAT? THE AUSTRALIAN
POLICE CAN PUT THIS THING TO BED
BETTER AND FASTER THAN WE CAN.
IT'S THEIR TERRITORY.
CHARLIE, IT'S NOT THEIR CASE.
SERGEANT HUNTER, YOUR OVERSEAS
CALL HAS COME IN ON LINE 63.
THANK YOU.
HELLO?
WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN?
YEAH. YES.
WELL, TELL HIM THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT WAS THE SYDNEY POLICE.
THEY FOUND ALAN TRAVERS...
DEAD AS A DOORNAIL.
I CAN'T SEND THE BOTH OF YOU.
IF YOU WANT TO GO,
YOU GOT TO GO ALONE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT. I CAN
HOLD DOWN THINGS HERE.
YOU CAN SHOP.
McCALL, IT'S NOT GONNA HELP
TO BLOW THIS UP ANY LARGER.
THE RING IS JUST GONNA
GET BIGGER AND FUZZIER,
NOT CLEARER.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THIS.
WE CAN PUT CAMERAS ON MARS
AND TAKE NICE, CLEAR PICTURES,
BUT YOU CAN'T DO THIS?
THE OLD LADY USED A
TYPICAL $49 TOURIST CAMERA.
CAMERA ON MARS COSTS 20 MILLION.
GEORGE, I NEED THIS.
COME ON. HELP ME OUT.
OK. MAYBE THEY CAN HELP US
OVER AT THE JET PROPULSION
LABORATORY IN PASADENA.
THEY HAVE A COMPUTER THEY USE
FOR SPACE PHOTOS TO,
UH, ENHANCE DETAILS.
GREAT.
I KNEW YOU'D COME
THROUGH FOR ME. THANKS.
Woman: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA.
WE'LL BE LANDING AT THE
SYDNEY AIRPORT IN A FEW MINUTES.
PLEASE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS,
PUT YOUR SEATS IN
THE UPRIGHT POSITION,
AND EXTINGUISH YOUR CIGARETTES.
THANK YOU FOR
FLYING TRANSGLOBAL.
FLIGHT 716 FOR AUCKLAND
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 36.
FLIGHT 716 FOR AUCKLAND
NOW BOARDING AT GATE 36.
PAGING MISS JAN MARR TO THE V.I.P.
RECEPTION AREA, PLEASE. MISS JAN MARR...
HUNTER?
I'M DESMOND EVANS WITH
THE NEW SOUTH WALES C.I.B.
OH, GREAT.
WANT TO GIVE ME YOUR PASSPORT?
THIS IS THE FINAL
BOARDING CALL FOR FLIGHT 16
TO MELBOURNE, ADELAIDE, PERTH,
NOW LEAVING AT GATE 4.
THIS IS RUSSELL
WOODWARD, MY PARTNER.
RUSSELL, HOW ARE YOU?
G'DAY, MATE. HOW ARE YOU?
GEE, I DIDN'T, UH... I DIDN'T
EXPECT A WELCOMING COMMITTEE.
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A
GOOD OLD AUSTRALIAN WELCOME?
COME ON. WE'LL TAKE YOU TO
THE HOTEL, GET YOU CHECKED IN.
TERRIFIC. THANKS. THANK YOU.
FLIGHT 78, BRISBANE...
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON IN.
ROOM OK?
YEAH. VERY NICE.
CAN I GET YOU GUYS ANYTHING?
NO, WE GOT TO GET GOING. BUT IF THERE'S
ANYTHING YOU WANT, ANYTHING YOU NEED,
GIVE US A CALL, AND
WE'LL TRY AND PROVIDE.
THAT'S BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT YOU
TO GET INTO ANY TROUBLE
THAT ISN'T NECESSARY.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
THERE IS ONE THING.
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THIS WOMAN?
HER NAME IS STELLA GRAHAM.
I RECKON DESMOND HERE
KNOWS EVERY BIRD IN AUSTRALIA.
DON'T YOU, DES?
WELL, ALMOST.
PITY I MISSED OUT ON THIS ONE.
DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOT
SOMETHING TO DO WITH TRAVERS,
THAT BLOKE WHO GOT KNOCKED OFF
AFTER HE ARRIVED
HERE FROM LOS ANGELES?
THAT ALL DEPENDS ON
WHO THAT FELLOW IS.
YOU'LL NOTICE
STELLA'S IN THE SHOT.
IS THIS THE PICTURE
ALICE McGONIGLE TOOK?
YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE THEY'RE
TOGETHER, MATE?
NO, I'M NOT SURE.
THAT'S ONE OF THE
THINGS I GOTTA FIND OUT.
IS STELLA GRAHAM THE
NAME SHE'D BE USING HERE?
I DOUBT IT.
SHE WORKED IN A
BANK IN LOS ANGELES.
I THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY START
WITH THE BANKS HERE IN AUSTRALIA.
SO WE MAY BE LOOKING
AT A MAJOR EXPENDITURE
IN SHOE LEATHER ON THIS ONE.
YEAH.
LOOK, SPORT, WE
GO OFF DUTY IN A BIT,
BUT WE'LL JUMP ALL OVER THIS
FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.
WE'LL STAY IN TOUCH
WITH YOU, MATE.
YEAH. APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
DID YOU GUYS FIND OUT
WHO KILLED TRAVERS?
NO. WE CAME UP
EMPTY ON THAT ONE,
BUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON IT.
GOOD.
THANKS VERY MUCH.
TAKE CARE.
YEAH. THANK YOU.
OH, YOU'RE EARLY.
GOOD MORNING. G'DAY, MATE.
I'VE BEEN GOING
THROUGH TRAVERS' FILE.
YOU MIGHT LIKE TO START WITH
HIS GIRLFRIEND, KATE SCANLON.
SHE'S A BARMAID AT THE CROSS,
VERY UNCOOPERATIVE.
IF YOU TALK TO HER, DON'T
LET HER KNOW YOU'RE A COP,
'CAUSE WHOEVER KILLED HER
BOYFRIEND'S GOT HER RUNNING SCARED.
I'LL START THERE.
I'LL NEED DIRECTIONS.
OH, HUNTER, IF YOU'RE
PLANNING ON USING YOUR GUN,
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO AUTHORIZE
IT WITH THE COMMISSIONER.
OK.
SO UNTIL THEN...
THANKS, MATE.
I THINK YOU'LL
FIND IT. GOOD LUCK.
G'DAY. HOW YOU DOING?
PRETTY GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?
YANK, ARE YOU?
YEP.
WHAT'LL IT BE?
BEER.
NEW OR OLD?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, NEW OR OLD?
NEW IS LIGHT. OLD IS DARK.
YOU'D LIKE THE NEW.
GIVE ME A NEW ONE.
YOU DOWN FOR SOME CLEAN AIR?
OH, ACTUALLY, I'M
HERE ON BUSINESS.
MY COMPANY SELLS R.P.M.
SYSTEMS FOR LATHES.
LATHES?
YEAH. THANK YOU.
FUNNY. YOU LOOK
LIKE AN AMERICAN COP.
WELL, I'M NOT A COP.
THANKS FOR THE
COMPLIMENT, BUT, UH...
YOU SEE, MY COMPANY MAKES
VOLTAGE-CONTROLLED R.P.M. SYSTEMS
FOR LATHES THAT WORK
WITH SERVO FEEDBACK LOOPS.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HEAR ABOUT THE LOOPS?
I DON'T THINK SO.
THAT'S ABOUT IT.
G'DAY, FREDDY.
PINT OF THE USUAL?
ANOTHER BEER, RICHARD?
YES, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW, YOU REMIND ME
OF A GIRL BACK IN THE STATES.
SHE'S VERY PRETTY.
ARE YOU MARRIED?
WELL, YOU MIGHT SAY
I'M MARRIED TO THIS PUB.
WELL, PERHAPS I COULD
TAKE YOU TO A BETTER ONE.
THE LAST THING I WANT TO
DO WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE
IS GO TO ANOTHER PUB.
THANK YOU.
WELL, MAYBE WE COULD GO OUT
TO A NICE RESTAURANT IN SYDNEY.
WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?
WHY?
WHY NOT?
HA HA HA!
OK.
MY NAME'S KATE,
AND IF YOU REALLY
MEAN IT ABOUT TONIGHT,
YOU CAN PICK ME UP AT 10:30.
GOOD. 10:30 IT IS.
WRITE DOWN YOUR ADDRESS FOR ME.
WELL, HERE'S A BLOKE WHO
BELIEVES IN BEING ON TIME.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M RUNNING A BIT
BEHIND, MYSELF.
PULL UP A PEW.
Man: TURN AROUND.
NICE AND EASY, OK?
PUT YOUR HANDS ON
TOP OF YOUR HEAD.
LOOK, I JUST CAME FOR DINNER.
LOOK, YOU GUYS ARE MAKING
A VERY, VERY LARGE MISTAKE.
ALL I REALLY WANT TO
DO IS GET A GOOD MEAL.
WHERE'S THE PHOTOGRAPH?
WHAT PHOTOGRAPH?
THE SNAPSHOT, THE
ONE THE OLD LADY TOOK.
YOU'VE GOT IT, AND WE WANT IT.
YOU OUGHT TO GIVE THAT TO ME,
OR I'LL BLOW YOUR KIDNEYS OUT.
IT'S IN MY BREAST POCKET.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MOVE,
MATE. SHE'LL SHOOT YOU.
EASY, KATE, NOW.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE,
BUT JUST GIVE ME THE GUN.
ARE YOU GONNA SHOOT ME?
COME ON.
COME ON. GIVE ME THE GUN.
KATE!
GOOD.
I'LL RUN A CHECK ON IT,
SEE WHAT I COME UP WITH.
OH, COMMISSIONER OKed IT.
TERRIFIC. THANKS.
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE RIGHT
ABOUT KATE SCANLON.
SHE'S A SCARED GIRL.
I CALLED KATE SCANLON'S BOSS.
HE SAID SHE CALLED IN
AND SAID SHE WAS QUITTING,
NOT TO SEND HER FINAL PAYCHECK
BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE
A FORWARDING ADDRESS.
WHOEVER IT WAS WHO
SENT THOSE GUYS AFTER ME
WANTS TO MAKE SURE THAT HE'S NOT
RECOGNIZABLE IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH.
YOU KNOW, THIS BLOKE
MUST BE PRETTY IMPORTANT,
PROBABLY AN AMERICAN, IF THE
OLD AMERICAN LADY RECOGNIZED HIM.
THAT'S THE WAY I LOOK AT IT.
HOW ABOUT STELLA GRAHAM?
NO, NOTHING ON HER YET.
NOT FOR THE WANT
OF TRYING, EITHER.
THANKS FOR THIS.
HELLO.
Woman: HELLO, RICK.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME.
DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS IS?
YEAH, I KNOW WHO THIS IS.
CAN WE GET TOGETHER?
WHERE?
THE BEDROOM OF SUITE 1506
AT THE HOTEL ROYALE. HURRY.
HI, STELLA.
YOU LOOK TERRIFIC.
SO DO YOU.
NOW, WHERE'S THAT BEDROOM?
THE POLICE ARE SHOWING A PICTURE
OF ME AT THE BANKS HERE IN SYDNEY.
THE NAME THEY HAVE
IS STELLA GRAHAM,
AND THE PICTURE'S ONE YOU
TOOK OF ME AT MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN.
WHY?
WHAT HAPPENED?
OR DID YOU JUST START MISSING
ME LIKE I'VE BEEN MISSING YOU?
STELLA, IF YOU'D HAD THE
DECENCY TO SEND ME A POSTCARD
AND TELL ME WHY YOU
DISAPPEARED 3 YEARS AGO,
YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THE TAXPAYERS
OF LOS ANGELES AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY.
I COULDN'T.
WHY?
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY I
DISAPPEARED, AS YOU PUT IT,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
SCREW UP A LITTLE INTEREST
IN THE INTERNATIONAL
MONEY MARKET.
STELLA, WHAT NAME ARE
YOU USING HERE IN AUSTRALIA?
LAUTER. ANN LAUTER.
L-A-U-T-E-R.
LET'S SAY A MAN WANTS TO BUY
AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
FROM THE UNITED STATES.
AT THE OFFICIAL EXCHANGE RATE,
THE COST OF THE SYSTEM
IS A MILLION DOLLARS.
HE GETS IN TOUCH
WITH A SPECIALIST
WHO KNOWS HOW TO
BYPASS THE OFFICIAL RATE
AND GET IT FOR HIM AT A
SAVINGS OF, SAY, $100,000.
THERE ARE A LOT OF
THOSE SPECIALISTS AROUND,
AND I'M ONE OF THEM.
I WAS ONE IN L.A.
IN FACT, THE JOB AT THE BANK
WAS JUST A HELPFUL COVER.
OH, DON'T GET ME WRONG. I
WASN'T DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL,
BUT THE PEOPLE THAT
I WAS DEALING WITH,
IT'S USUALLY
ILLEGAL AT THEIR END.
STELLA, CUT TO
THE CHASE, PLEASE.
IT'S A RISKY BUSINESS,
AND I GOT BURNED.
I WAS BUYING DOLLARS WITH YEN,
AND A TRANSACTION GOT DELAYED.
THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR WENT
UP, AND I DIDN'T HAVE THE SPREAD.
HOW MUCH MONEY WE TALKING ABOUT?
I HAD TO COME UP WITH A
MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS,
AND I DIDN'T HAVE IT.
IT'S A DANGEROUS GAME, RICK,
IF YOU DON'T HAVE A LOT
OF CAPITAL, AND I DIDN'T.
I GOT IN WAY OVER MY HEAD,
AND I HAD TO HIDE, WHICH IS WHY I
COULDN'T SEND YOU THAT POSTCARD.
SO, IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE
NOW HERE, IS A SPECIALIST?
YEAH.
BUT I'M A LOT MORE CAREFUL NOW,
AND IT'S ALL VERY LEGAL.
STILL ANGRY?
I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT
FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS, STELLA,
AND WHAT I'VE DECIDED IS...
YOU NEED A GOOD SPANKING.
I HOPE YOU LIKE YOUR
EGGS SCRAMBLED.
I LIKE THEM ANY
WAY. BRING 'EM OVER.
HERE.
RICK, HOW DID YOU
KNOW I WAS IN AUSTRALIA?
HAND ME MY JACKET
THERE, ON THE...
SIT DOWN.
REMEMBER THAT PHOTOGRAPH?
YES, I DO REMEMBER IT.
IT WAS ONLY ABOUT
8 OR 10 DAYS AGO.
SOMEONE TOOK A PICTURE OF A
MAN, AND HE THREW HIS ARM UP
AND SCARED ME
NEARLY HALF TO DEATH,
AND THEN I THINK HE CHASED
AFTER WHOEVER TOOK THE PICTURE.
YOU WEREN'T WITH THE
FELLOW IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
CERTAINLY NOT. I
WAS SHOPPING ALONE.
WHO IS HE?
IN FACT, WHERE IS HE?
I CROPPED HIM OUT.
THE MAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH
IS AFTER THIS PICTURE.
HE WANTS TO SEE IF
HE'S RECOGNIZABLE.
WHO IS HE, JIMMY HOFFA?
YOU DON'T KNOW?
NO.
AND YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
TELL ME, EITHER, ARE YOU?
OK. I'M GONNA GO TAKE A SHOWER.
HEY...
CARE TO JOIN ME?
YEAH.
HELLO.
McCall: HELLO, HUNTER.
WELL, HELLO, SERGEANT.
I'VE GOT SOME REAL
INTERESTING NEWS FOR YOU.
DID YOU NOTICE THAT
OUR MYSTERY MAN,
THE GUY THAT DIDN'T WANT HIS
PICTURE TAKEN, WAS WEARING A RING?
SO?
WELL, I TOOK THE NEGATIVE
TO THE JET PROPULSION LAB,
AND I HAD THEM ENHANCE
IT ELECTRONICALLY...
YOU KNOW, LIKE WHAT THEY
DO WITH BOULDERS ON MARS...
AND I SENT THE PROCESSED
COPY OF THIS RING TO THE FBI.
THEY HAD A RECORD ON THIS THING.
YOU READY FOR THIS?
IT'S THE CLASS RING OF A PAROCHIAL
SCHOOL IN TRENTON, NEW JERSEY.
THAT'S INTERESTING?
IT'S JUST THAT THIS SCHOOL
HAD ONE FAMOUS GRADUATE.
THE GUY NEVER TOOK HIS RING OFF.
I MEAN, HE WAS SUPERSTITIOUS
ABOUT IT. HE NEVER TOOK IT OFF.
I GIVE. WHO WAS IT?
ANTHONY TRENTON "TONY" PARRIS.
TONY PARRIS? COME ON. HE WAS
BLOWN UP IN A CAR 5 YEARS AGO.
I KNOW THAT. AS A MATTER OF
FACT, HE WAS BLOWN TO BITS.
THEY IDENTIFIED THE BODY BY THE
RING AND BY HIS DENTAL RECORDS.
THE RING WAS
CLAIMED BY HIS FAMILY,
AND THE DENTIST DIED A
COUPLE OF YEARS LATER.
THE FBI SAYS THE BOMBING SAVED
PARRIS FROM A LONG PRISON TERM,
BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY
WERE GETTING READY TO BUST HIM.
VERY NICE PIECE OF
POLICE WORK, McCALL.
THANK YOU. I FIGURE
IT COULD HAVE BEEN
SOMEBODY ELSE'S BODY IN THE CAR,
AND DENTAL RECORDS COULD
HAVE BEEN COOKED, RIGHT?
SO WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
OH, JUST OUT TRYING TO
DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?
DON'T TELL ME I GOT THE
TIME ZONES MIXED UP, EITHER.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
LIKE I SAY, I WAS OUT TRYING
TO DIG UP SOMETHING SOLID.
YOU FOUND HER, HUH?
GOOD-BYE. I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
HELLO!
IS THIS MY YANK FRIEND?
YOU GOT A LOT OF GUTS
CALLING ME HERE, KATE.
HOW'D YOU FIND ME?
HARRY, THE BLOKE
WITH THE POCKED FACE,
HE TOLD ME WHO YOU ARE,
AND I FOUND YOUR HOTEL
BY RINGING A DOZEN OF THEM.
I NEED TO SEE YOU.
YEAH! NO, YOU
DON'T. NO, THANK YOU.
YOU ALREADY SET ME UP ONCE.
I'M NOT GONNA GIVE YOU
A SECOND CHANCE AT IT.
LISTEN, I THINK I
CAN DO YOU A FAVOR,
BUT I CAN'T TALK
ABOUT IT ON THE PHONE.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO COME HERE, THEN.
OK. I'LL COME OVER THERE. WHEN?
MEET ME OUTSIDE THE ELEVATOR
ON THE SECOND FLOOR, 3:00.
I'LL BE THERE.
HI.
HELLO.
AH! I WANT TO BE AS CLOSE
TO YOU AS I CAN POSSIBLY GET.
I GOT HERE EARLY BECAUSE I HAVE TO
LEAVE YOU AGAIN IN EXACTLY ONE HOUR.
OH, NO.
CAN WE HAVE DINNER HERE TONIGHT?
CERTAINLY. THANK YOU.
6:30? I KNOW THAT'S EARLY,
BUT I WANT TO GO
TO BED EARLY, TOO,
BEFORE I GET TIRED OR
SLEEPY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
GOOD THINKING.
YOU KNOW TONY PARRIS?
WELL, I'VE HEARD
OF HIM, OF COURSE.
THE MOBSTER, IS
THAT WHO YOU MEAN?
THAT'S WHO I MEAN.
WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS?
YOU DON'T THINK HE'S THE
MAN IN THE PICTURE, DO YOU?
HE'S DEAD.
WELL, HIS CAR WAS BLOWN UP
WITH HIM IN IT
ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO,
SUPPOSEDLY.
RICK, I DON'T DEAL
WITH GANGSTERS.
THE PEOPLE I DEAL WITH AREN'T
EXACTLY MEMBERS OF ELITE CLUBS,
BUT THEY DON'T GO AROUND
BLOWING EACH OTHER UP.
DO YOU STILL THINK I
KNOW WHO THAT MAN WAS?
YOU'RE PIECING THIS
TOGETHER VERY NICELY.
WELL, I DON'T,
AND I NEVER KNEW
TONY PARRIS, EITHER.
LET'S EAT.
I'M STARVING.
YOU'RE VERY PRETTY TODAY.
THANKS.
SHOULD I BOTHER WITH
UNDERNEATH THE BED?
OK, KATE, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I NEED SOME MONEY.
HO!
$300. IT'LL GET ME TO MELBOURNE,
AND I CAN STAY THERE TILL ALL
THIS IS SETTLED OR FORGOTTEN.
I HAVE A SISTER
THERE. SHE'S MARRIED.
THEY WON'T FIND ME THERE.
WHAT ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT?
HARRY BLAMES ME FOR NOT USING
THAT GUN WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE.
HE CAME TO THE
PUB LOOKING FOR ME.
HE THINKS I DID IT ON
PURPOSE TO HELP YOU.
WHAT DO I GET FOR MY 300 BUCKS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHERE
YOU CAN FIND HARRY.
YOU DO WANT TO KNOW, DON'T YOU?
WELL, SURE I DO.
THIS IS WHERE HE LIVES.
HE WON'T BE THERE NOW, BUT HE
WILL SOMETIME AFTER 6:00 OR 7:00.
WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT
ALAN TRAVERS' BUSINESS?
HE NEVER TALKED BUSINESS TO ME.
I REALLY TRULY DON'T KNOW WHO HE
WORKED FOR OR WHAT HE WAS UP TO.
I REALLY DON'T!
BUT HE DID KNOW HARRY.
YEAH. THEY WERE
MIXED UP TOGETHER.
MM-HMM. YOU'LL GET YOUR MONEY
AS SOON AS I FIND OUT YOU'RE
NOT TRYING TO SET ME UP AGAIN.
LOOK, HARRY FORCED
ME TO SET YOU UP.
I'VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO!
I CAN'T GO BACK TO MY FLAT.
OK. YOU CAN STAY HERE. USE
THE PHONE. ORDER ROOM SERVICE.
OH, AND, UH...
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A
FELLOW BY THE NAME OF TONY PARRIS?
NO. WHO IS HE?
IF THE PHONE RINGS,
DON'T ANSWER IT.
EXCUSE ME.
DID ANN LAUTER IN ROOM
1506 LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR ME?
RICK HUNTER.
THAT ROOM IS UNOCCUPIED.
THE PARTY IN ROOM 1506
WAS A MRS. MARY CLARK,
BUT SHE CHECKED OUT AT 1 P.M.
ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?
SHE CHECKED OUT
AT 1 P.M. TODAY, SIR.
SHE CHECKED IN YESTERDAY.
EXCUSE ME, SIR.
AREN'T YOU THE GENTLEMAN
I SEATED AT TABLE 12?
YEAH, I AM.
WILL YOU BE USING
THE TABLE, SIR?
UH, DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT.
I'M VERY SORRY.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SIT THERE
AND WAIT, YOU CERTAINLY MAY.
OH. WELL, UH, THE LAST
TIME THAT HAPPENED,
I WAS KEPT WAITING FOR 3 YEARS.
EXCUSE ME. I'M SORRY.
HIYA, HARRY!
PUT YOUR HANDS
ON THE WALL. MOVE IT!
DON'T MOVE, HARRY.
I WOULDN'T WANT TO
HAVE TO SHOOT YOU.
IN THE CHAIR. COME ON.
COME ON. SIT DOWN.
NOW, HARRY, I WANT YOU TO
LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE
NAME OF THE MAN THAT SENT YOU
TO TAKE THAT
PHOTOGRAPH AWAY FROM ME.
I DON'T KNOW THAT BLOKE.
I MEAN, HE CAME
UP TO OWNIE AND ME
AT THE PUB WHERE KATE WORKS,
GAVE US THE DOUGH, AND
TOLD US WHAT HE WANTED.
DIDN'T GIVE US A NAME.
HARRY, I WANT YOU TO TELL
ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW...
OR I'M GOING TO THROW
YOU OUT THAT WINDOW.
GIVE ME THE NAME.
LET'S GO, HARRY.
COME ON.
DON'T TURN AROUND. I WANT
YOU TO SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
SEE YOU, HARRY.
WAIT!
ALL I GOT WAS AN ADDRESS...
WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED
TO SEND THE PICTURE.
I SWEAR THAT'S ALL I GOT.
TURN AROUND.
COME ON.
LET ME HAVE IT.
"BARONGA STATION, NEW
DEVON, NORTHERN TERRITORY."
WHERE THE HELL IS THIS?
NEW DEVON IS IN THE OUTBACK.
YOU'LL HAVE TO HIRE A
4-WHEELER TO TAKE YOU THERE,
OR A PLANE IF YOU'RE IN
SUCH A BLOODY HURRY.
SIT DOWN. COME ON.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
NOW, YOU GAVE ME AN ADDRESS.
NOW I WANT A NAME...
OR SO HELP ME, I'M GOING
TO BLOW OUT YOUR KIDNEYS.
I SWEAR I DON'T KNOW.
GO AHEAD AND SHOOT ME.
I DON'T KNOW!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MATE?
GIVE ME THE POLICE.
I GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ASK FOR,
THEN YOU SQUEAL TO THE COPS?
SIT DOWN, HARRY.
SIT.
YES, MA'AM.
THIS IS SERGEANT HUNTER.
I'M WORKING WITH EVANS
AND WOODWARD OF YOUR C.I.B.
I'VE JUST MADE AN ARREST. I
NEED SOME ASSISTANCE, PLEASE.
YES. I'LL HOLD.
LOOK, MATE, THAT
ADDRESS WAS DINKUM.
WHY DON'T YOU BE A GOOD BLOKE,
JUST LET ME SLIP
AWAY INTO THE NIGHT?
HARRY, I'M NOT
GONNA TELL YOU AGAIN.
SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN.
YES, MA'AM.
GOOD.
I'M AT 410 EDMONTON.
YEAH, ROOM 312.
I WILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
Tell him to come in.
COME ON IN, OWNIE.
HI, OWNIE.
PUT YOUR HANDS
UP THERE. MOVE IT!
SIT DOWN ON THE COUCH, HARRY.
OK, OWNIE.
GET YOUR HANDS UP THERE.
SIT ON THE COUCH, OWNIE.
THERE.
LET'S ALL SIT BACK, RELAX,
AND WAIT FOR THE POLICE.
WHO IS IT?
Hunter: IT'S ME. OPEN UP.
VERY CUTE.
COVERS MORE, TOO.
THE PHONE ONLY RANG ONCE.
YEAH?
EVANS? WAKE UP. IT'S HUNTER.
WHAT'S THE BLOODY TIME?
2:30 A.M.
THIS BETTER BE URGENT.
IT IS. I JUST HAD 2
SUSPECTS ARRESTED.
I DON'T WANT THEM
TALKING TO ANYBODY
FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
SECOND OF ALL, AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU AT
YOUR OFFICE RIGHT NOW.
OK, LISTEN, GIVE ME AN HOUR,
AND I'LL SEE YOU THERE.
I LIVE IN THE SOUTH BANK.
YOU GOT IT.
Kate: YOU LEAVING AGAIN?
YEAH, IN 45 MINUTES.
45 MINUTES?
THAT'S A LONG TIME.
LOOK, FELLAS,
YOUR OWN COMPUTER PRINTOUT SHEET
SHOWS THAT THE BARONGA
STATION IS OWNED BY A LEON BURKETT.
I THINK BURKETT IS TONY PARRIS.
NOW, BEFORE IT GETS TOO
LATE, LET'S GET THE WARRANT,
FLY TO THE OUTBACK,
AND SERVE THE GUY.
AND HOW DO WE GET THE
COURT TO ISSUE THE WARRANT?
WHAT'S THE BASIS FOR IT?
2 COUNTS OF MURDER,
ONE ATTEMPT ON MY LIFE.
YEAH, SURE, I CAN GET A WARRANT,
BUT SUPPOSING THIS MR. BURKETT TURNS
OUT TO BE A FINE, UPSTANDING CITIZEN.
YOU'RE GONE, AND ME AND MY PARTNER
HERE ARE LEFT LOOKING LIKE A PAIR OF DILLS.
Man: SO WHEN
BURKETT'S ON HIS STATION,
HIS MATES FLY IN, LIKE PUTTING
THE CAT AMONGST THE PIGEONS.
THERE'S NEVER ANY
TROUBLE, THOUGH.
IS THIS A WORKING RANCH,
OR IS IT JUST A PLACE FOR BURKETT
TO GET AWAY FROM THE CITY?
OH, NO. BUSINESS.
CATTLE, MOSTLY.
BUT HE'S NOT FAIR
DINKUM COUNTRY.
I BELIEVE HE'S GOT
A JOB IN THE CITY.
SEEMS AWFULLY LONESOME OUT HERE.
IN THE OUTBACK, SERGEANT HUNTER,
A MAN CAN SEE FURTHER AND SEE
LESS THAN ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
PRIVACY WAS INVENTED HERE.
DOES BURKETT HAVE AN ACCENT?
I'VE NEVER MET HIM, BUT
THEY SAY HE'S CANADIAN.
HA! THAT'S WHAT HE SAYS.
HOW FAR TILL WE GET
TO BURKETT STATION?
YOU'VE BEEN ON IT FOR
THE LAST 20 MINUTES.
THE HOMESTEAD'S
JUST OVER THOSE TREES,
AND THE CHAIN GATES ARE
ABOUT 2K DOWN THE ROAD.
Evans: TEXANS COME
HERE TO LEARN HUMILITY.
SO, WHAT'S THE PLAN, BOYS?
WELL, IT WOULD HELP IF ONE OF
US KNEW WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE.
I KNOW WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
IN THAT CASE, ALL WE DO...
WE DRIVE IN, GRAB
HIM, AND HAUL HIM OFF.
MAYBE OUR PROBLEM'S
ABOUT TO BE SOLVED.
Man: YOU BLOKES ARE
ON PRIVATE PROPERTY.
G'DAY, JACK. I DIDN'T
KNOW YOU WERE WORKING
OUT THIS FAR.
G'DAY, CONSTABLE.
YOU'RE FERGUSON?
YEAH. WHAT'S THE
IDEA OF THE RIFLES?
DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS
YOU, CONSTABLE,
BUT THIS IS PRIVATE PROPERTY.
WHEN I HAVE A WARRANT,
NO PROPERTY'S PRIVATE.
I INTEND TO SERVE IT,
SO YOU CAN PUT DOWN THOSE GUNS.
MR. BURKETT SAID TO STOP YOU.
YEAH, HE SAID TO STOP YOU AND
TURN YOU BACK WHERE YOU COME FROM.
IF YOU DO, YOU'LL
BE BREAKING THE LAW.
NOT ONLY THAT, BUT YOU'LL
BE RISKING YOUR LIVES.
I'M ARMED. I INTEND
TO COME THROUGH.
COME ON. THEY'RE
STALLING US, FERGUSON.
YOU SEE THAT AIRPLANE?
IT'S COMING IN HERE
TO PICK UP BURKETT.
WE NEED THOSE RIFLES.
HAND OVER THOSE RIFLES. COME ON!
HEY, DON'T BE STUPID, FELLAS.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
GET OUT OF THAT PLANE
WITH YOUR HANDS UP.
GET OUT OF THAT PLANE RIGHT NOW!
THE NEXT SHOTS COULD
BLOW YOUR PETROL TANK.
HMM. TONY PARRIS. THAT'S HIM.
Ferguson: THE PILOT WILL
STEP OUT OF THE PLANE.
THE PILOT WILL PLEASE STEP
OUT WITH HIS HANDS RAISED.
STELLA.
I HAVE HERE A WARRANT FOR
THE ARREST OF TONY PARRIS,
ALSO KNOWN AS LEON BURKETT.
YOU TWO WILL BE
HELD FOR QUESTIONING.
INTO THE JEEP, PLEASE.
I WANT A MOMENT
WITH HER, PLEASE.
GO AHEAD.
STELLA, WHAT THE
HELL ARE YOU DOING?
HOW'D YOU GET MIXED
UP WITH THIS JERK?
RICK, YOU'RE THE ONLY MAN I
EVER KNEW THAT I DIDN'T USE.
BUT MONEY CAME FIRST, AND
TONY PARRIS SUPPLIED MY CAPITAL.
2 MORE YEARS, AND I WOULD
HAVE HAD ENOUGH TO QUIT.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW HOW DEEPLY
YOU'RE INVOLVED IN THIS THING,
BUT I HAVE AN IDEA YOU'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO WRITE ME THOSE POSTCARDS.
NOT TOO MANY, I HOPE.
COME ON.
