"I saw the man that ran out to the helicopter." "He did not have a thing in his hands." "No money, no gun, nothing." "Must be back at the tower." "What difference does it make?" "Just a bit." "Why doesn't he go back to the tower and get the money?" "Why is he still chasing you?" "I don't know." "I do." "He'd like to kill you." "That's it Mannix." "I can identify him." "No, there never was a kidnapping was there?" "Just a nice little squeeze on old Dad." "In case he Happened to forgot to his daughter in his will." "You must be crazy." "No, baby just lucky." "Lucky you ran out of bullets." "All you had left was a loaded hand bag." "I'll tell you why he wanted to kill you." "'Cause you happened to do all the shooting." "No!" "I'll take that bag." "No!" "Give me the bag!" "You almost knocked my head off with this." "Of course it was a little heavier then." "It should have been." "It had a half a million dollars on it." "It's not fair!" "It's not fair!" "How much?" "One million dollars." "Mine!" "Is it?" "It's his." "OK." "But it's evidence Mr Doubrieau." "You'll get a receipt." "Where is it?" "There's a half a million dollars in a locker, top of the tramway." "Girl buried the other half just out of bounds of the 12th green." "If she won't tell you exactly where." "You'll have to bull doze the area." "Men!" "Oh, you can bill Doubrieau." "Oh, lay off!" "Say you know, I don't get it." "That part about her thinking I would not leave her a penny." "Well that's not true." "It's true." "How did you know about Angela?" "Well all three men involved were at the tramway." "That left one to watch the kidnapped girl." "There was no reason to return to the tower, except to spit the money." "That's not all is it, Mr Mannix?" "No Mrs Doubrieau, I afraid not." "Angela knew my name." "Is that important?" "Well sorta, you see..ah your husband didn't know it." "He could of cared less." "He just called Intertect and said send me your best man." "The chauffeur didn't know it and I didn't get a chance to check in to a hotel." "Yeah but, you just used his name." "I'm sorry Mrs Doubrieau." "You asked my name when you pleaded with me to take that payoff." "Right before you call Angela to say the plan worked and the money was on it's way" "Louise?" "Do you meant to tell me tell..." "What do you except Sam?" "After 22 years of living with you?" "Are you surprised it took so long?" "I mean after 22 years with a disease, chances are you catch it." "I can't tell you how sorry I am." "That it didn't work." "Now for the benefit of those who could not make it last time." "Lou I...." "Hello Joe." "What is it?" "It'll hold." "How did it go?" "I found the girl." "Who was that?" "His name is Mannix."
