70,000 BENNIES?

MAN, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
STARTED TO PUSH.
YOU KIDDING ME?

LOOK, IN SEATTLE,
BETWEEN THE PIGS AND
THE PREACHERS --

LET ME EXPLAIN.
WOULD YOU LET ME EXPLAIN?

YOU KNOW, KIDS AREN'T THE ONLY
PILL HEADS IN THIS COUNTRY.

IN FACT, I'M PLANNING TO HOOK UP
WITH AN ORGANIZATION IN DENVER.

THAT'S RIGHT. DENVER.

AND THEY'RE PLANNING
ON FLOODING THE SUBURBS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, MAN?

THAT MEANS THAT WE'RE GOING
TO TRIPLE OUR VOLUME
IN A MONTH.

[ GIGGLING ]

HEY, MEL, COME HERE.
I REALLY WANT YOU.



FREDDIE.

NO, I DON'T WANT FREDDIE.
I WANT YOU.

FREDDIE!

SORRY, MEL.

SHE GOT INTO YOUR STASH
AND POPPED A DOZEN REDS.

COME HERE, BABY. COME HERE.
COME ON UP HERE.

GET HER OUT OF HERE.

LET'S SPLIT. COME ON.

NOT JUST KIDS, HUH?

UNH-UNH. EVERYONE.

HAPPINESS -- THAT'S WHAT
EVERYONE WANTS, ISN'T IT?

HAPPINESS.

AND THAT'S WHAT WE SUPPLY.

HEY. WAKE UP.



-WHAT? UHH!
-COME ON.

NO. UHH!

HEY.
THAT'S A DIRTY TRICK, BABY.

IT'S ALL ON MEL.

DON'T. NO!

PLEASE! PLEASE STAY!

DON'T LEAVE ME LIKE THIS!

[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYS ]

GOOD MORNING, MR. PHELPS.

EVERY YEAR, ILLEGAL,
DANGEROUS DRUGS

COST THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF
AMERICANS, MOSTLY YOUNG PEOPLE.

THE BIGGEST DISTRIBUTOR
OF THESE DRUGS

ON THE PACIFIC COAST
IS MEL BRACKEN.

HE IS SUPPLIED
FROM SOUTH OF THE BORDER

BY BUSINESSMAN
DIEGO MAXIMILLIAN,

WHO, IN TURN,
GETS HIS DRUGS LEGALLY

FROM MIDWESTERN
DRUG MANUFACTURER C.W. CAMERON.

YOUR MISSION,
SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT,

IS TO STOP, TO EXPOSE, AND
DESTROY THAT VICIOUS CIRCLE,

INCLUDING ALL THREE MEN
WHO RUN IT.

GOOD LUCK, JIM.

[ "MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE" THEME
PLAYS ]

THERE'S EVERY TYPE
OF PILL HERE --

UPPERS, DOWNERS, BENNIES,
EVEN RAINBOWS.

AND THEY'RE ALL
THE SAME INSIDE.

MM-HMM.

[ BEEPING ]

GOOD, BARNEY.

CAMERON'S PILLS
FOLLOW THIS ROUTE

FROM HIS DRUG PLANT
IN ST. LOUIS...

TO MAXIMILLIAN'S WAREHOUSES
SOUTH OF THE BORDER...

BACK UP TO MEL BRACKEN
IN LOS ANGELES.

BRACKEN'S MUSIC BUSINESS
IS ONLY A COVER.

JIM, THERE'S NOTHING
ILLEGAL ABOUT CAMERON

MANUFACTURING AND EXPORTING
THE DRUGS, IS THERE?

NO, AS LONG AS HE FUNCTIONS
SIMPLY AS AN EXPORTER,
HE CAN'T BE TOUCHED.

SO WE ARE GOING TO CONNECT
CAMERON DIRECTLY TO BRACKEN

AND DESTROY THEM BOTH.

YOU UP ON YOUR
LUCY DAWSON, DANA?

YES, I'VE BEEN BURIED
IN OLD MOVIE MAGAZINES.

IT SEEMS SHE HAD
QUITE A LONG ROMANCE

WITH DIEGO MAXIMILLIAN.

YES, BUT PARIS WILL HELP
YOU GET INVOLVED WITH HIM.

THE TWO OF YOU ARE BOOKED

INTO HIS FAVORITE
RESTAURANT -- TITO'S.

THE OWNER REALLY THINKS

THAT YOU ARE LUCY DAWSON'S
DAUGHTER, CINDY.

ARE YOU SURE HE'LL
ENTERTAIN CAMERON THERE?

YEAH, HE ALWAYS DOES,
WILLY.

CAMERON AND HIS WIFE ARE
STOPPING BY THERE TOMORROW

ON THEIR WAY TO A PHARMACEUTICAL
CONVENTION IN LOS ANGELES.

YOUR MOVE IS THE MOST
UNPREDICTABLE, DANA,

BUT IT IS THE KEY.

HE'LL BE TOUGH.

HE'S AS STRAIT-LACED
AS THEY COME,

AND HE'S NEVER HAD A DATE
WITH ANOTHER WOMAN.

I UNDERSTAND --
REALLY MORAL.

ALL HE DOES IS KILL
A COUPLE KIDS NOW AND THEN.

[ TELEPHONE RINGS ]

YES.

ON SCHEDULE?

THANK YOU.

TRUCKLOAD OF PILLS FROM
CAMERON'S PLANT IN ST. LOUIS

IS ON ITS WAY TO THE BORDER.

IT WILL BE THERE
IN THE MORNING, BARNEY.

[ MID-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ]

I WILL ARRANGE IT, DIEGO.

JUAN, TAKE CARE
OF SEÑOR MAXIMILLIAN.

ENJOY YOUR LUNCH, DIEGO.

WAIT A MOMENT.
WHO IS THAT GIRL?

I WAS WAITING FOR YOU
TO ASK ME THAT.

WHY?

DOESN'T HER VOICE
REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?

THINK BACK A FEW YEARS.

* SO TAKE THIS FLOWER
THAT'S GROWING HERE *

[ APPLAUSE ]

EXCUSE ME, SEÑORITA.

YOUR SINGING
WAS SO BEAUTIFUL.

PLEASE,
WILL YOU JOIN ME?

I BET HE WANTS TO MAKE YOU
THE STAR OF THE SHOW.

HE KNOWS ALL THE BIG WHEELS
IN THE MUSIC GAME.

-AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I DO KNOW ONE OR TWO.
-COME ON, BABY.

NO, PLEASE,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

MY NAME IS
DIEGO MAXIMILLIAN.

WELL, I'M CINDY DAWSON.

YOU CAN CALL ME FRANKIE.
COME ON.

UH, MY DEAR, YOUNG LADY,
PLEASE LISTEN.

OF COURSE, THIS MAY SEEM
VERY STRANGE TO YOU,

BUT ACTUALLY, YOU AND I
ARE VERY OLD FRIENDS.

YOU WERE ONLY THIS HIGH,
BUT I TOOK YOU SWIMMING

AND FISHING
OFF PUERTO VALLARTA.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,
YOUR MOTHER AND I

PRACTICALLY DISCOVERED
THE PLACE.

WHAT DID YOU SAY
YOUR NAME WAS?

MY NAME IS...

YOU WOULD REMEMBER ME
AS MAX.

YOU CALLED ME "UNCLE MAX."

OH.
OH, UNCLE MAX!

AH, UNCLE MAX!

IT'S UNCLE MAX!

[ BEEPING ]

JIM, DO YOU READ ME?

I READ YOU.

I've got the truck now.

GOOD, BARNEY.

YOUR NAME SIMPSON?

MR. BRACKEN'S EXPECTING YOU.
FOLLOW ME, PLEASE.

I WOULD LIKE TO PRESENT
MR. C.W. CAMERON,

MY ASSOCIATE
FROM THE UNITED STATES.

AND THIS IS HIS
LOVELY WIFE, BUNNY.

IT IS MY PLEASURE
TO INTRODUCE

MISS CINDY DAWSON.

AND, UH, THIS IS, UH...

FRANKIE.
THIS IS FRANKIE.

IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU BOTH.

YEAH.

IT'S A PLEASURE
TO MEET YOU, MR. CAMERON.

MRS. CAMERON.

-WHAT A PRETTY GIRL, DIEGO.
-THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW, YOUNG LADY,
YOU LOOK VERY FAMILIAR.

OH, WELL...

DO YOU EVER STAY UP
FOR THE LATE SHOW?

OH, WE RARELY STAY UP LATE
FOR ANYTHING.

HA HA.

UM, W-WELL, I MEAN,
IF YOU DO,

YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN
MY MOTHER

IN A LOT OF THE OLD MOVIES.

HOW EXCITING.

-UH...WELL, I BET THAT'S IT.
-YEAH.

DIEGO, THERE IS
A TELEPHONE CALL FOR YOU,

FROM THE UNITED STATES.

HE SAYS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

PLEASE, EXCUSE ME.

TAKE IT AT THE BAR.

TITO SAID YOU WERE TOO BUSY
TAKING COCKTAILS

AND COULDN'T BE DISTURBED.

YOU'RE AN ELEGANT MAN,
MAXIMILLIAN -- AN ELEGANT MAN.

AND YOU, UNFORTUNATELY,
ARE NOT.

AS A MATTER OF FACT,

I'M ENTERTAINING OUR
MUTUAL BENEFACTOR, C.W.

BUT WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?

UH, YOU CAN DOUBLE
MY USUAL ORDER.

YEAH, I'M READY TO MAKE A DEAL

WITH ONE OF THE BIGGEST
ORGANIZATIONS IN DENVER.

YEAH, YOU KNOW, THEY GOT A LOCK
ON THE PINBALLS AND POOL HALLS,

YOU KNOW, THAT TYPE OF STUFF.

NOW THEY'RE MOVING INTO PILLS
THROUGH ME.

CONGRATULATIONS.
I UNDERSTAND.

I WILL DOUBLE YOUR ORDER,

AND IT WILL BE
ON ITS WAY TOMORROW.

OH, LISTEN, BY THE WAY,
WHY DON'T YOU GIVE MY
REGARDS TO C.W.?

YEAH, MAKE THE CREEP SWEAT, HUH?

BUENAS NOCHES, SWEETHEART.

BUENAS NOCHES.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT, IT'S A DEAL.

THAT WILL BE $100,000 NOW,

AND THE BALANCE ON
DELIVERY, MR. SIMPSON.

YOU GET THE BALANCE
WHEN I SEE THE PILLS,

MR. BRACKEN.

60...70...

80...90...

$100,000.

...ONLY PAY FOR THE RISKS, YOU
KNOW, OF BRINGING YOUR STUFF
ACROSS THE BORDER.

RISKS ARE YOUR PROBLEM,
MR. BRACKEN.

WE ONLY UNDERSTAND DEALS...

THAT ARE MADE AND THEN KEPT.

OH, YOU'LL GET YOUR PILLS
IN TWO OR THREE DAYS.

DON'T WORRY. IT'S COOL.

FREDDIE!

FREDDIE.

WE DON'T DO THIS KIND OF THING
IN DENVER, MR. BRACKEN.

WAS IT RUNNING?
I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE.

NOW, LOOK, MR. SIMPSON,

YOU KNOW, IN THIS DRUG GAME,

I RUN ACROSS ALL KINDS
OF SPACED-OUT FREAKS, YOU KNOW?

I MEAN, SOME OF THEM --
THEY DON'T EVEN REMEMBER
WHAT THEY SAY.

WE'LL DO THE REMEMBERING.
YOU JUST DELIVER.

FAR OUT.

[ BEEPING ]

* AS BAD AS I FEEL,
YOU SHOULDN'T BE SMILIN' *

* AS BAD AS I FEEL

* THE WHOLE WORLD
SHOULD BREAK DOWN AND CRY *

* I MAY BE A QUEEN TOMORROW

* BUT RIGHT NOW
I'M READY TO DIE *

* AND, OOH,
IT OUGHT TO BE RAININ' *

* RAININ',
IT OUGHT TO BE RAININ' *

* RAININ', RAININ'

* IT OUGHT TO BE RAININ'

[ SONG ENDS ]

THAT WAS TERRIFIC.
IT REALLY WAS.

WE'VE SEEN SOME SINGERS,
BUT THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
MR. CAMERON.

EXCUSE ME.

I THINK I'LL GO FIND
THE LADIES' ROOM.

UM...IT'S REALLY HOT
IN HERE.

WOULD YOU LIKE
SOME FRESH AIR?

WELL...

UH, SURE. WHY NOT?

GOOD.

YOU LIKED THAT, HUH?
WASN'T IT GOOD?

YES, OF COURSE I LIKED IT.

MAYBE YOUR BIG-SHOT FRIEND
IN THE STATES

WOULD LIKE IT, TOO, HUH?

PERHAPS.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING?

I'VE NEVER MET
A MILLIONAIRE BEFORE.

I MEAN, IMAGINE
CORPORATIONS AND BONDS,

AND...YOU'RE REALLY
WHERE IT'S AT THESE DAYS.

OH, YOU RUN EVERYTHING.

I-I REALLY ADMIRE YOU.

NOT TOO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE
DO THESE DAYS.

I MEAN, MY OWN DAUGHTER,
WHO'S, UH...

WELL, SHE'S A LITTLE BIT
YOUNGER THAN YOU,

BUT SHE, UH, SHE BELONGS

TO A LOT OF THOSE
RADICAL ORGANIZATIONS,

AND, UH, THEY DON'T THINK
TOO MUCH OF ME.

OH, I DON'T CARE
ABOUT POLITICS.

I...I JUST CARE ABOUT PEOPLE

AND NOT HOW OLD
THEY ARE, EITHER.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DANCE?

WELL...CERTAINLY.

YEAH, SURE.

THANK YOU.

LOOK, MR. MAXIMILLIAN,
CINDY AND I ARE PLANNING

TO TAKE A BUS
TO LOS ANGELES TOMORROW.

AND, UH, IF YOU COULD MAKE
A PHONE CALL

TO THAT IMPORTANT FRIEND
OF YOURS

IN THE RECORD BUSINESS,

MAN, THAT SURE COULD
HELP A LOT.

"CHARLES" --

THAT -- THAT
DOESN'T SUIT YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT I'D LIKE
TO CALL YOU?

CHARLIE.

WELL, DO YOU MIND?

NO, NO, I LIKE "CHARLIE."

IT'S JUST THAT BUNNY --
I MEAN MRS. CAMERON --

HAS JUST ALWAYS
CALLED ME CHARLES.

OH.

YOU KNOW, CHARLIE,

I, UM...I GET TURNED ON
BY FUNNY THINGS.

GOOD TALK.

I-I DON'T LIKE TO READ.
I DIDN'T GET MUCH SCHOOL.

BUT I COULD LISTEN
TO A MAN TALK ALL NIGHT

IF HE HAD
SOMETHING TO SAY.

WELL, I...

I COULD SEE WHERE A...

A MAN COULD HAVE A LOT
TO SAY TO YOU.

YOU REALLY SEEM TO HAVE
A BRAIN

IN THAT PRETTY HEAD
OF YOURS.

OH, CHARLIE.

DO YOU THINK I'M PRETTY?

DON'T YOU KNOW THAT?

THANK YOU.

TELL ME, CHARLIE...

HOW DOES A MAN LIKE YOU
FIND ME INTERESTING?

WELL, I JUST, UH...

I JUST DO.

I'M GLAD.

THAT REALLY MEANS A LOT
TO ME.

ONE GOOD BREAK
IS ALL WE NEED.

WE GET OUR SOUND ON RECORDS,
MAN, WE'RE HOME!

YOU DO LIKE CINDY, DON'T YOU?

YOU MAKE THAT SOUND
SO DIRTY.

HEY, MOTHER, DAUGHTER --

IT'S A GOOD PARLAY.

AND, YOU KNOW,
CINDY WILL DO

ANYTHING I TELL HER TO.

IF YOU HELP HER,

I'LL MAKE SURE
SHE KNOWS WHO TO THANK.

I TELL YOU WHAT, FRANKIE,

I'M FLYING UP
IN THE MORNING.

YOU AND CINDY COME WITH ME.

HEY, OUT OF SIGHT, MAN.

HA HA HA HA.

FRANKIE AND I ARE PULLING
OUT OF HERE TOMORROW

FOR LOS ANGELES.

CHARLIE, DO YOU EVER
GET UP THAT WAY?

THAT'S WHERE
WE'RE HEADED NOW.

OH, REALLY?

OH, THAT'S TERRIFIC.

OH, I-I WISH YOUR WIFE
LIKED ME A LITTLE BETTER.

OH, SHE DOES.

MRS. CAMERON TOLD ME
EARLIER THIS EVENING

JUST HOW MUCH --

I DON'T THINK SO.
IT'S TOO BAD.

I'D...I'D REALLY ENJOY
SEEING YOU AGAIN.

REALLY?

YEAH, REALLY.

WELL, I, UH...
I DON'T KNOW.

WELL...

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH,
I, UH...

I ALWAYS STAY
AT THE VERONA INN.

IT'S LISTED IN THE BOOK.

I'D REALLY LIKE
TO SEE YOU AGAIN, CHARLIE.

WELL, I, UH...

TH-- THERE'S THE CONVENTION,
AND ALL.

I UNDERSTAND, BUT...

WELL, AT LEAST
YOU CAN PICK UP A PHONE

AND SAY, "HELLO."

YEAH, I GUESS
I COULD DO THAT.

PROMISE ME?

CHARLES.

REALLY, DARLING,

IF YOU CAME DOWN HERE
TO TALK BUSINESS,

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S TIME
YOU GOT IT OVER WITH?

YES, I DO.

EXCUSE ME.

[ Quietly ]
I'm sorry.

SURE.

YOUR HUSBAND'S
A VERY GOOD DANCER.

YES.

HE'S A GOOD HUSBAND, TOO.

WELL?

I DON'T KNOW.

FOR YOUR FAVORITE
SWISS CHARITY, C.W.

YOU KNOW,
YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE

HOW MUCH THIS COSTS ME
IN PUBLIC RELATIONS.

PEOPLE HAVE TO REALIZE
HOW MUCH GOOD

OUR EXPORTED DRUGS DO
IN DEPRIVED COUNTRIES.

AND IN STOCK DEALING,
TO MAINTAIN

SOME SORT OF BALANCE
ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

AND IN LOBBYING, TO SEE

THAT INTERNATIONAL DRUG
CONTROLS AREN'T PASSED.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.
I KNOW.

YOU EVEN HAVE TO PAY TAXES
WHILE POOR MEL AND I

HAVE ONLY THE POLICE
TO WORRY ABOUT.

POLICE?

OH, DO NOT WORRY,
MY FRIEND.

YOUR IMAGE
WILL NEVER BE TARNISHED.

NOW...LET US ENJOY
OUR EVENING, EH?

MISS DAWSON IS A VERY
SPECIAL FRIEND OF MINE.

SHE IS ALSO VERY TALENTED.

I WOULD APPRECIATE

ANYTHING YOU CAN DO
FOR HER.

ALL WE WANT
IS AN AUDITION.

YOU GOT IT.

FREDDIE, WHY DON'T YOU
SHOW THESE PEOPLE AROUND?

MAKE SURE YOU FIND OUT
WHERE THE YOUNG LADY'S STAYING.

I'LL SAY GOODBYE TO DIEGO.

SURE. THIS WAY.

HOW CAN I EVER
THANK YOU, UNCLE MAX?

YOU ARE ALREADY
THANKING ME.

THE LOOK ON YOUR FACE
IS ENOUGH.

I WILL BE BACK
IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS,

AND YOU CAN DESCRIBE ALL
YOUR "ADVENTURES" TO ME.

ALL RIGHT.

BYE.

BYE-BYE.

GOODBYE.

[ BEEPING ]

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

THE ORDER IS ON ITS WAY.

IT WILL BE COMING ACROSS
THE BORDER ON ROUTE 17 TODAY.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD.

OH, DID YOU TELL CAMERON
TO START DOUBLING YOUR SUPPLY?

YES. I TOOK CARE OF IT.

YOU TAKE CARE OF MY CHECK.

HEY...

YOU KNOW YOU CAN TRUST ME, BABY.

IT'S ONLY C.W.

WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO DEAL
WITH CROOKS...HMM?

HA HA HA HA HA.

HA HA HA.

RIGHT.

[ BEEPING ]

[ BEEPING RAPIDLY ]

COME IN, JIM.

HAVE YOU LOCATED
THE DRUGS, BARNEY?

Yes, I have.

They'll come in as
Pedro's Cocktail Peanuts.

THERE'S 16 CANS TO A CASE,
EACH CAN WEIGHS 13 OUNCES,

AND THERE ARE 10 CASES.

HOLD IT, JIM.

[ Whispering ]
Jim, we're in trouble.

COME OUT OF THERE.

EASY.

[ FLASHLIGHT DROPS ]

HAND ME THAT.

LET'S GO.

[ RINGS ]

HELLO. BARNEY!

WORRIED?
OF COURSE WE WERE!

JUST A MINUTE.

BARNEY?

SORRY ABOUT THE DELAY, JIM.
I'M ACROSS THE BORDER.

I HAD TO LEAVE THE DRIVER
IN THE BUSHES

A FEW MILES BACK.

I'LL ARRANGE
TO HAVE HIM PICKED UP.

JIM, I HAVE AN IDEA.
I THINK I...

UH-HUH.

YES.

YEAH, IT SOUNDS
LIKE IT MIGHT WORK.

I THINK IT'S OUR ONLY SHOT.

I'LL SEE YOU TONIGHT.

YES, UH...

WOULD YOU GIVE ME
382-4699, PLEASE?

[ RINGS ]

HELLO.

CHARLIE!

IS IT REALLY YOU?

YES. I-I JUST GOT IN.

ARE YOU ALL, UH,
SETTLED AND EVERYTHING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
CHARLIE?

WELL, I JUST MEAN, UH...

WELL, YOU KNOW,
THESE CONVENTIONS

ARE USUALLY PRETTY DULL,
SO, UH...

I suggested to Bunny --
Mrs. Cameron --

that she just go on up
to San Francisco

and, uh, do some shopping.

SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE
SEEING HER UNTIL TOMORROW.

SO...

WHAT? WHAT, CHARLIE?

WELL, WOULD YOU, UH...

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO HAVE DINNER AND...TALK?

OH, I'D LOVE TO.

HOW ABOUT, UM, 8:00?

WELL, THAT'S FINE.

LET'S -- LET'S MAKE IT
8:00, THEN.

OKAY. BYE-BYE.

[ RECEIVER CLICKS ]

I'M GLAD YOU MADE IT,
BUDDY.

SO AM I.

OH HO HO! WOW!

OH, CHARLIE, IS THIS WHAT
YOU CALL A HOTEL ROOM?

WELL, YOU SHOULD SEE MINE.

YOU COULD FIT IT

RIGHT IN THAT CLOSET
RIGHT OVER THERE.

WE JUST ALWAYS STAY HERE,
THAT'S ALL.

-OH, YEAH?
-WOULD YOU LIKE A LITTLE DRINK?

I KNOW WE HAD A LOT OF WINE
AT DINNER, BUT... WOULD YOU
LIKE TO HAVE A DRINK?

UM...YEAH.

WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

OH, EVERYTHING.
SCOTCH. BRANDY.

UM...BRANDY.

I LIKE BRANDY.

HA HA HA.

YOU KNOW, CHARLIE,

I REALLY DID ENJOY
TALKING TO YOU,

BUT, UH, NOW I FEEL LIKE
GETTING HIGH.

HIGH?

YEAH, LET'S GET RIPPED!

OH!

YOU'RE REALLY FREE,
AREN'T YOU?

THAT'S MARVELOUS.

I'M FREE AS A BIRD.

CINDY, WHAT ARE THOSE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

BEING FREE.

HOW ABOUT IT, CHARLIE?
WANT ONE?

NO, I DON'T.

YOU KNOW, YOU SHOULDN'T TAKE
THOSE, ESPECIALLY WITH LIQUOR.

OH, CHARLIE. OH, CHARLIE,
TALK TIME IS OVER.

NOW IT'S FUN TIME.

[ ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ]

DON'T YOU THINK THE MUSIC'S
JUST A LITTLE BIT LOUD?

CINDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

I'M TRYING
TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.

CINDY, YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE?
THAT'S A DRUG.

OH, YOU DON'T SAY!

-LISTEN TO ME.
-AAHHH!

NO WONDER YOUR WIFE
WENT TO SAN FRANCISCO.

SURE WASN'T MISSING ANYTHING
HERE. GET AWAY FROM ME!

CINDY!

[ YELLING ]

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

CHARLIE! HELP ME!
HELP ME! HELP ME!

PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER!

STOP IT! PLEASE!

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
HELP ME!

MR. CAMERON, SIR,
IT'S ME, FRANKIE.

[ Sobbing ]
OH, FRANKIE, HELP ME!

CINDY.
CINDY, IT'S ME, BABY.

STAY WITH ME, CINDY.

CINDY, LISTEN, FIGHT IT.
FIGHT IT, BABY.

SHE'S DEAD.

NO.

OH, NO.

SHE CAN'T BE DEAD.
THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
IT'S NOT POSSIBLE, MAN?

WHEN YOU'RE POPPING PILLS?

NO, NO, NO, I MEAN HERE,
IN -- IN THIS PLACE, WITH ME.

YOU'RE JUST THINKING
ABOUT YOURSELF, AREN'T YOU?

YOU'RE NOT EVEN THINKING
ABOUT HER.

NO, NO, I DIDN'T MEAN THAT.

OH, CINDY, BABY, BABY.

WOW.

SHE WAS SO EXCITED.

TOMORROW WAS GOING TO BE
HER FIRST RECORD DATE.

THAT'S WHY I CAME HERE.

SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T WANT
TO STAY OUT TOO LATE.

LOOK AT HER NOW.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

WHAT DO YOU THINK I'M GONNA DO?
I'M CALLING THE COPS.

THE POLICE?

WAIT A MINUTE, FRANKIE.

WHAT GOOD CAN THE POLICE DO?

I MEAN, THE POLICE CAN'T HELP.

LISTEN.

LOOK, THIS IS A TERRIBLE THING.
IT REALLY IS A TERRIBLE THING.

BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND,
I CAN'T BE INVOLVED IN THIS.
YOU GOT TO HELP ME.

YOU'VE GOT TO GET RID OF HER
FOR ME. I'LL GIVE YOU $1,000.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"GET RID OF HER"?

WHAT IS SHE, SOME KIND
OF GARBAGE I'M SUPPOSED
TO DUMP FOR YOU?

-SHE KILLED HERSELF!
-WITH PILLS YOU GAVE HER!

NO! I TRIED TO STOP HER!
I DID!

YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE THAT!
PLEASE!

I'LL GIVE YOU $5,000.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED
TO DO WITH HER?!

WELL, TAKE HER TO THE BEACH.

THEY'LL JUST THINK THAT
SHE TOOK AN OVERDOSE.

OR TO THE PARK.

OR MAYBE JUST DUMP HER

IN SOME HALLWAY
SOMEWHERE, HUH?

YES! ANYPLACE!

ALL RIGHT.

I'LL TAKE HER DOWN
THE FREIGHT ELEVATOR.

I'LL CALL YOU
WHEN I'VE GOT RID OF HER.

RIGHT. MM-HMM.

[ VEHICLE APPROACHES ]

THAT'S BARNEY.

MAXIMILLIAN
AND THE TRUCK DRIVER

HAVE BEEN PICKED UP.

YOUR BILL OF LADING.

WHO ARE YOU?

NAME'S LUIS.

TOMáS ALWAYS DELIVERS TO ME.
WHERE IS HE, HUH?

TOMáS IS SICK.

SO, WHY DIDN'T MAXIMILLIAN
TELL ME, HUH?

BETTER ASK MAXIMILLIAN.

ALL I KNOW IS TOMáS WAS SICK,
SO I BROUGHT THE LOAD.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

ALL RIGHT. YOU WAIT HERE.

ALL RIGHT, MR. SIMPSON,

YOU CAN START COUNTING OUT
THE BREAD.

FREDDIE, MAX SAYS
IT'S IN THE PEANUTS.

KEYS?

I DON'T LIKE HIM
STANDING AROUND.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, MAN --
HE'S COOL.

OTHERWISE, MAX
WOULDN'T HAVE SENT HIM.

HELP YOURSELF, MR. SIMPSON.

MAYBE YOU'D LIKE SOME BENNIES

OR SOME UPPERS, SOME
DOWNERS, SOME RED DEVILS.

THEY GOT TO BE
IN HERE SOMEWHERE.

GIVE ME THAT CAN!

WE DON'T HAVE THIS KIND
OF JOKE IN DENVER, MR. BRACKEN.

IT'S NO JOKE.

HE KNOWS.
HE'S GOT TO KNOW.

YOU TALK OR YOU'RE GONNA DIE.

I DON'T WANT
ANY MORE MISTAKES.

I WANT MY MAN
TO HANDLE THIS.

GO AHEAD.
OPEN THE DOOR, FREDDIE.

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

LET'S GO. MOVE!

MEANWHILE, I WANT
MY $100,000 BACK.

FORGET IT, MAN.
YOU CAN'T HAVE THAT BACK.

THAT'S WHAT I PAID
TO MAXIMILLIAN.

WELL, GET IT BACK FROM HIM.
HE DOUBLE-CROSSED YOU,
DIDN'T HE?

NOW, LOOK, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
I'LL GET IT BACK...

-...SOON AS I LOCATE HIM.
-AS SOON AS...

I GOT TO LOCATE HIM FIRST,
DON'T I?

MEL, THAT DAWSON BROAD --
SHE'S STAYING AT THE VERONA INN.

SHE'LL KNOW
WHERE MAXIMILLIAN IS.

WELL, GET OVER THERE.
FAST. MOVE!

YOU GOT SIX HOURS, MR. BRACKEN.

DELIVER OR YOU'RE THROUGH.

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

TRY TITO'S AGAIN, OPERATOR.

THAT'S TITO'S.
T-I-T-O-S. TI--

DON'T HURT ME, PLEASE.

WHAT'S GOING ON, FREDDIE?

I FOUND HIM IN HER ROOM.

HE WAS GOING THROUGH
HER STUFF.

[ SIGHS ]

ALL RIGHT,
START RAPPING, CREEP.

LISTEN, HONEST, I DIDN'T
GIVE HER ANY PILLS.

-I DIDN'T KILL HER.
-WHAT?

WELL, SHE WAS -- SHE WAS
TAKING A BAD TRIP, SEE?

SHE WAS WITH THAT GUY --
WITH CAMERON --

IN THE HOTEL ROOM.

SHE WAS FREAKING OUT.

MR. BRACKEN, I JUST
HELPED TAKE CARE OF IT.

THAT'S ALL I DID.
I SWEAR, I DIDN'T --

RELAX. RELAX. RELAX.
TAKE IT EASY.

PUT THAT GUN AWAY.

LOOK, NOBODY'S GOING
TO HURT YOU, ALL RIGHT?

TAKE IT EASY.

I WANT YOU TO START RIGHT FROM
THE BEGINNING. WHAT HAPPENED?

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

MR. CAMERON?

MEL BRACKEN
WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU.

I'M SORRY. THAT'S WHY
I COULDN'T PHONE YOU.

I WENT BACK TO HER ROOM
TO CLEAR EVERYTHING OUT.

THAT'S WHEN THIS FREAK
GRABBED ME.

THAT'S ENOUGH, FREDDIE.
THAT'S ENOUGH.

GET HIM OUT OF HERE.

SEE THAT NOTHING HAPPENS
TO HIM.

ALL RIGHT, C.W.,

DO I GET THE PILLS
OR DON'T I?

ALL RIGHT.

BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GIVE ME
A LITTLE TIME,

AND I HAVE TO SET UP
ANOTHER ROUTE.

UNH-UNH.
I GOT TO HAVE THEM NOW.

LOOK, I CAN'T JUST
SEND THEM DIRECT.

THAT WILL PUT BOTH OF US
OUT OF BUSINESS.

DON'T YOU SEE THAT?!

NOW, LOOK, HERE'S THE LIST.

AND YOU BETTER MAKE SURE
YOU HAVE SOMEBODY

IN THAT PLANT
THAT YOU CAN TRUST.

AND YOU HAVE THEM PUT THEM
IN UNMARKED CARTONS --

AIR FREIGHT RUSH.

WE'LL GET THEM
AT FOUR HOURS.

FREDDIE WILL PICK THEM UP
AT THE AIRPORT.

LOOK, C.W., YOU AND I
ARE FULL PARTNERS NOW,

AND WE GOT
TO STICK TOGETHER.

I MEAN, UH,
YOU KNOW, SWEETHEART?

[ DIALING TELEPHONE ]

[ SIGHS ]

[ CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING ]

ALL RIGHT.

THIS IS YOURS NOW, MR. BRACKEN.

THANK YOU, MR. SIMPSON.

IT WAS A PLEASURE.

HALF FOR MY PARTNER.

COME ON,
TAKE IT, SWEETHEART.

I DON'T WANT IT!

DON'T SHOOT ANYMORE, PLEASE!
DON'T SHOOT ME, PLEASE.

I'M INNOCENT.
I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING.

I'M A RESPECTABLE BUSINESSMAN.
I CAN EXPLAIN EVERYTHING.

I'VE GOT FRIENDS WHO
CAN TELL YOU WHO I AM!
WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME, PLEASE?!

TELL HIM, C.W.
TELL HIM, YOU CREEP.

DON'T YOU SEE THEY HAD US
SUCKERED EVERY STEP, HUH?

THEY HAD A LOCK
ON THE ENTIRE OPERATION,

AND THEY GOT THE PICTURES
TO PROVE IT!

WAIT A MINUTE. THIS IS ALL
GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.

I HAVE LAWYERS WHO
ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS.

THERE IS NOTHING ILLEGAL
ABOUT WHAT I DO!

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!

YOU'RE NOT REALLY
EVEN CINDY, ARE YOU?

THERE WAS A REAL
CINDY DAWSON ONCE, MR. CAMERON.

BUT SHE DIED, JUST LAST YEAR,

IN HAIGHT ASHBURY
OF AN OVERDOSE.
