00:00You lost it? All of it?
00:04Not lost it, Everett. Invested it.
00:07Are you saying Steele is somehow connected with the theft?
00:10Your boss has more aliases than a phone book.
00:12Well, well.
00:14I know, this doesn't look good.
00:16Call the police.
00:18I have one piece of advice for you, Mr. Steele.
00:21Yeah?
00:22Run.
00:23Here, Reggie, they're all yours.
00:24What?
00:25What the hell do you want?
00:26The case.
00:27The wrong case?
00:33With you two finally gone, that'll be the end of it.
00:37Nice work.

02:54A bit chilly.
02:56Ready?
02:57Go ahead.
03:06Six of diamonds.
03:12Jack of spades.
03:17Reminds me of you.
03:19Queen of hearts.
03:22I still can't get how you do it.
03:26That's the idea, Mildred.
03:29Everett, please, come in.
03:30Mr. Steele.
03:31Yes, come in.
03:32Miss Holt.
03:33This is our assistant, Mildred Krebs.
03:36Everett Blaisdell, Vigilance Insurance.
03:39How do you do?
03:42Do you want to count it?
03:43Oh, Everett, please. Our relationship is built on trust.
03:46Mildred.
03:49Now, I need you to sign this.
03:51You understand.
03:52Oh, yes, of course.
03:53Bureaucracy rears its ugly head.
03:56One hundred and fifty thousand.
03:59Miss Holt.
04:10Well, good luck to all of us.
04:13Rest assured, Everett, Murdoch's jewels are as good as in your hands.
04:16I hope so.
04:17Anything should happen.
04:18Everett, please.
04:19You're talking to Remington Steele, okay?
04:21Right.
04:23Hey, watch it, Bruce.
04:25I just had this cleaned.
04:27Good night, Everett.
04:28Come in, gentlemen, please.
04:29Who's the mark?
04:31A fellow by the name of Eddie Grogan.
04:33I got a tip he stole the jewels from Murdoch,
04:35and you are here to help me get them back.
04:37Sounds like a sweet hustle, Harry.
04:39Reggie. Reggie Whitewood.
04:40I am now a dissolute member of the ruling class.
04:42Now, stake yourself to $25,000 each
04:44and take a grand off the top for your services.
04:47Who are they?
04:48Laura Holt, Mildred Krebs, Benny, Sid, Nathan.
04:51How about some sandwiches and beer, fellas?
04:53You're selling, I'm buying.
04:55What are you selling, honey?
04:57Nothing you can afford, big fella.
04:59Excuse me.
05:04Nice girl.
05:06Yeah, okay, sit down, okay?
05:10Where did the boss find those shills?
05:12I don't think we want to know.
05:14I don't get it.
05:16Why don't we just grab Grogan and choke him
05:18until he coughs up the jewels?
05:20Because we have no proof that he stole them.
05:22This way, Mr. Steele busts him at the table.
05:25He has to retrieve the jewels to pay off his losses,
05:28and we have the thief, the jewels,
05:30and a hefty finder's fee.
05:32But how do you know that he'll bet more
05:34than he's got with him?
05:36Because, Mildred, he's a compulsive gambler.
05:39You know, sometimes the boss's plan
05:41struck me as poetry.
05:46Well, it isn't Keats,
05:49but it ain't bad.
05:55Henry, old chap, delighted to see you.
05:58Ain't nothing gonna keep me away from a hot game,
06:00I'll tell you that.
06:02Yeah, this one will positively sizzle, it'll be.
06:05Raise 1,000.
06:19Fold.
06:35Fold.
06:50That's it.
07:01Who's got the Mai Tai?
07:03Here.
07:13That's it.
07:16Next time, I'll mail in my money.
07:21Well, I guess it's just you and me, Reggie.
07:24What do you say we goose the game?
07:26No ceiling?
07:28I say, you really are a gambler, aren't you, Edward?
07:32Very well.
07:34No limit.
07:39Aces facing kings.
07:45Ace is bet.
07:47Some dealer, Reggie. Where'd you get her?
07:49She came with the table.
08:01I'll bet all of it.
08:0430,000.
08:16And I back it.
08:23$50,000.
08:27I've got to go light.
08:29Look, Edward, don't disappoint me, please.
08:31If you can't afford to play the game...
08:33Reggie, I've got some very interesting collateral
08:35that's worth a hell of a lot more than 50 grand.
08:37Look, I have a rule, Edward.
08:41Cash only.
08:43The table.
08:45Reggie, I think we're both men of honor.
08:47If I lose, I'll take you straight to it,
08:49and I'll guarantee you will not be disappointed.
08:53Very well.
08:58Okay. I call.
09:05Son of a gun! I didn't think you had it.
09:07I thought maybe a full house. Maybe.
09:09But not four kings.
09:11I believe there's a time to reap and a time to sow.
09:14This is my time to reap.
09:22Not yet, it ain't.
09:31Some hand, huh?
09:33Hell, I must have won, uh...
09:35$150,000.
09:37$150,000? Where am I gonna put it all?
09:41I have a suggestion.
09:43Why don't you take the case?
09:45You've taken everything else.
09:47Swell!
09:49Listen, Reggie, if you ever want to play the game,
09:51be sure and call me up.
09:53This is really terrific.
09:55And you make a heck of a mai tai.
09:57Bye.
10:01Nice work.
10:04He cheated the double-dealing swine.
10:06He cheated, Laura. I saw his whole card.
10:08It was the four of clubs.
10:10He must have palmed the ace.
10:12Why did you stop him?
10:14Because then he'd know that we were cheating.
10:16And we'd lose all chance of recovering the jewels.
10:18Mildred, take my car and follow Grogan.
10:20You got it.
10:22183, why Mildred?
10:24Because we have to figure out
10:26how you're going to tell the insurance company
10:28that your foolproof scheme
10:30cost them $150,000.
10:33You lost it? All of it?
10:36Not lost it, Everett.
10:38Invested it.
10:40We could see that Grogan was wary,
10:42so we used the money to buy his confidence.
10:45I mean, now we have him exactly where we want him.
10:48Within hours, Mr. Steele will be zeroing in
10:51on where he stashed the jewels.
10:53You will?
10:55Oh, without question.
10:57Everything is just falling into place.
10:59Stand tall, Everett. You've backed a winning plan.
11:01Oh, yes, I can hear the accolades now.
11:03Can you hear those accolades?
11:05Everett Blaisdell, senior vice-president.
11:07Bye, Everett, and congratulations.
11:09Thank you. Thank you both.
11:11I can't believe everything's going so well.
11:13It's on my first big case, too.
11:15Thank you. Bye-bye.
11:17Bye.
11:19PHONE RINGS
11:23Remington Steele Investigations.
11:25Mildred, where are you?
11:27Las Vegas.
11:29Where?
11:31Grogan drove straight here.
11:33He's at the tables now, gambling.
11:35Mildred, listen. I gotta go, Miss Holt.
11:37Has he spotted you?
11:39No, and he only stopped once for gas,
11:41and I never got out of the car because I didn't want to lose him.
11:44Now I really gotta go.
11:46I see. Well, call back.
11:48One more thing.
11:50Can I use the agency credit card to get a few things to wear?
11:53People keep asking me for drinks.
11:56Go ahead. Okay.
11:59Mildred?
12:01Grogan's in Las Vegas.
12:03Las Vegas?
12:05Huh.
12:07Well, look on the bright side, Laura.
12:10He could have gone to Bakersfield.
12:14And so, Mr. Capstone, both Mr. Steele and I believe
12:17that we have Grogan exactly where we want him.
12:19Oh!
12:21Something amuses you, Mr. Keyes.
12:24Well, I was just wondering...
12:26How are you gonna list the loss of $150,000
12:29on the stockholder's report?
12:32I just finished telling you the money isn't lost.
12:35It's merely shifted location.
12:37Oh, come on. This whole thing stinks to high heaven.
12:40All of a sudden, this Steele pops up out of nowhere
12:43and feeds you a cock-and-bull story
12:45about some cheap grifter named Eddie Grogan
12:47being the mastermind behind a $2.5 million burglary,
12:49and you fall for it?
12:51Remington Steele did not pop out of nowhere.
12:53His reputation is impeccable.
12:55At rock bottom, every human being
12:57is a greedy, larcenous louse.
13:00I just haven't figured Steele's angle... yet.
13:03Are you saying Steele is somehow connected with the theft?
13:06I'm saying what I said from the beginning.
13:09This whole thing has the aroma of an inside job.
13:13That's the angle I was on when Steele waltzed in here
13:16with his dazzling smile and his $400 suit,
13:20and he convinces Mr. Harvard, M.B.A., over here
13:23that he has all the right answers.
13:25I see no reason to bring personalities into this.
13:27Don't take this personally, Baysdale, but in this business,
13:30the biggest obstacle to knowledge is a formal education.
13:33I don't dress like a fashion plate,
13:35and maybe I never went to college,
13:37but let me tell you something.
13:39I know my job, and I'm damn good at what I do.
13:42I assume you have a point here, Keith.
13:45I trust this, and it tells me
13:48Steele's involvement in all this
13:50has a very definite, shall we say, fragrance.
13:54You put me back on the job, I'll get to the truth.
13:58I realize I haven't a lot of experience, sir,
14:00but I have implicit faith in Mr. Steele.
14:02I believe he should be allowed to continue on the case.
14:04It's your call, Mr. Capstone.
14:06Yes, so it is.
14:09Gentlemen, I've reached a decision.
14:13Mr. Steele may proceed.
14:17And I'm putting you back on the case, Keith.
14:20Bold move.
14:46♪
15:16♪
15:46♪
16:17Betty.
16:19Betty, put me on the next flight to Vegas,
16:21and listen, honey, this is important.
16:23Run the following names through the computer.
16:25I want every data source tapped.
16:27You ready?
16:29Michael O'Leary, Ireland.
16:32John Morell, France.
16:34Douglas Quintain, England.
16:39Paul Fabrini, Italy.
16:41And Richard Blaine, Australia.
16:44Hmm? No, honey, no, it's all the same guy.
16:47And I got a feeling his traveling days are over.
16:59This is what you came to tell me?
17:01I expect a check.
17:03You come here empty-handed, tell me you're not paying me for my jewels?
17:05Mr. Murdoch...
17:07No, it's funny, your company expects me to pay my premiums on time.
17:09It doesn't work both ways, does it?
17:11We have a lead...
17:13Now, it's my understanding, when insured merchandise is stolen,
17:16the insurance company has an obligation to pay off.
17:18Let the man speak, Bradford.
17:21Thank you, Mrs. Murdoch.
17:23Our first priority in cases like this
17:25is to try to recover the stolen goods.
17:27Now, Mr. Murdoch, you want your jewels back, don't you?
17:30Oh, absolutely.
17:32They have a great sentimental value, to me at least.
17:35Don't mind Mr. Murdoch.
17:37He's just being a grump because the stock market's down.
17:39Nonsense. This is a matter of principle.
17:42As a stockbroker, if I ran my company the way you run yours,
17:44I'd be sent to jail.
17:46Please continue, Mr. Brysdale.
17:48We suspect the thief is in Las Vegas.
17:50Right now, the best detective in Los Angeles,
17:52Remington Steele, is there tracking him down.
17:54With luck, you'll have your jewels back in a day or two.
17:56That's wonderful.
17:58Right, and the moon is made of green cheese.
18:00Your company just doesn't want to pay off.
18:03Will you please see him out?
18:07I'll get back to you when we have further news.
18:09Sure.
18:35Yeah, when is your next flight to Las Vegas?
18:39Oh, fine. Book me on that, please.
18:41Johnson. Charles Johnson.
18:44Thank you very much.
19:09Did you have to rent the most expensive car they had?
19:12Image, Laura, image.
19:14You were in a high roller, and I'm Reggie Whitewood, remember?
19:17Profligate wastrel.
19:19Roll suits you.
19:21Incidentally, once we find Brogan,
19:23just how do you intend to get him to lead us to the jewels, hmm?
19:28Have you noticed the way this car hugs the turns?
19:45Thank you. Thank you indeed.
19:47Here you go.
19:49Something for your troubles, my man.
19:53Lovely day. There you go, sunshine.
19:55Have a nice day. Mind the car, please. Mind the car.
19:57What are you doing?
19:59Image, Laura, image, image. Come on.
20:06Yes, sir. Good day, young man.
20:08How can I help you, sir?
20:10Is the presidential suite available?
20:11Yes, sir.
20:13Laura, Laura, Laura, please, please.
20:15Proceed, good man. The name is Reggie Whitewood.
20:18Reggie Whitewood.
20:20And here is something for your troubles.
20:23Thank you, sir, and enjoy your stay, sir.
20:26Don't mention it. Good day now.
20:30You've gone insane.
20:32Laura, when you're $150,000 in the hole,
20:35what's another few thousand, more or less?
20:39Dear God.
20:41What's that?
20:47Hi, kids. Hi.
20:49A few things, Mildred?
20:51Some disguise, huh?
20:53It worked like a charm.
20:55I've been around Grogan all morning, and he hasn't suspected a thing.
20:58Well, inconspicuous is what comes to mind, Mildred.
21:01You like the fur chief? Oh, I love it, love it.
21:03It looks real, doesn't it?
21:05You've both gone insane.
21:07Where is Grogan?
21:11He was at that crap table just a few minutes ago.
21:14All right, let's split up.
21:16All right.
21:38Swindler.
21:42Whoa.
21:55Laura Holt? Yes?
21:57Norman Keyes, Vigilance Insurance.
21:59Can I speak to you for a few minutes? Um, I'm...
22:01It's about your boss.
22:03What about him?
22:05He's a fraud.
22:08Does smoke bother you?
22:11Not as much as you do.
22:13Well, I have that effect on people.
22:15I think it's generic.
22:17How well do you know Remington Steele?
22:19I've been with him since, um, he formed the agency.
22:22Did the name Michael O'Leary ever pop up in conversation?
22:25Who's Michael O'Leary? He is.
22:27Under that name, he stole a painting called
22:29The Five Nudes of Cairo.
22:31That's absurd.
22:33What about Richard Blaine? That ring any bells?
22:35No.
22:37It does with the Mexico City police.
22:39Under that name, he's wanted in connection with the theft
22:41of some jewels called the Marchesa collection.
22:43Now, where did you get this stuff?
22:45Your boss has more aliases than a phone book.
22:47The deeper I dig, the dirtier he gets.
22:49Not that I believe any of this.
22:51But what made you pick up the shovel in the first place?
22:54Keys, you get your kicks rolling in the mud.
22:56Your boss stepped on my toes.
22:58Taking the Murdock case away from me was a mistake.
23:00Because it made me angry, and that made me think.
23:02And the more I thought,
23:04the more things didn't add up.
23:06Now, wait a minute.
23:08Mr. Steele is trying to recover the Murdock jewels
23:10for your company.
23:12Oh, is he now?
23:14So that's what this is all about.
23:17You think Mr. Steele is in on the robbery.
23:20Honey, right now, you're so clean,
23:22people could eat off you.
23:24But the longer you stick with him, the grimier you get.
23:26You're not really interested in Mr. Steele's alleged past, are you?
23:29You want the jewels.
23:31And the thieves.
23:33And if I can convince you that Mr. Steele
23:35had nothing to do with the robbery,
23:37if, in fact, Mr. Steele can deliver you the goods...
23:40I'll walk away a happy man.
23:42Come on, Keys.
23:44I'm going to make you so happy, you're going to hate yourself.
23:47Ha-ha-ha!
23:51Hey!
23:57Yes! Yes!
23:59Yes!
24:01Hey, don't shoot. Don't shoot yet.
24:03Calm it out. Calm it out. Here they go.
24:05Everything good.
24:07Okay, babies, eight straight passes.
24:09Smile. Let me down. Go on, sweetheart.
24:11Here's luck. Come on out again.
24:13Babies!
24:15Three crafts. Take the line.
24:18Line down. Three crafts.
24:24Bye-bye.
24:31Did you have a good time, Eddie?
24:33Hi, fellas.
24:35Walk.
24:39What's this all about?
24:41You lied to Mr. Smith!
24:45All right, sound checks.
24:47What seems to be the problem, eh?
24:49There's no problem.
24:53What are you doing here?
24:55Looking for action.
24:57I guess you're found.
24:59Oh, actually, an acquaintance.
25:01Must be some misunderstanding.
25:03Hey, let's go in here where the air's a little more unhealthy.
25:08I'm standing pat
25:11I like the hand I'm holding
25:15I'm standing pat
25:18This time, dear, I'm not folding
25:21I'll bet my lips against yours
25:24I'll win you
25:27I'll raise the pot with my heart
25:30Do you wish to continue?
25:35I hope you call
25:38Find out if I would love dear
25:41Uncanny similarity.
25:43Sonny's got everything but Sinatra's salary.
25:46Colorful community, Edward.
25:48You come here often?
25:50Every time we have a few bucks.
25:52In that case, perhaps I could entice you into another game of poker.
25:55I owe you, but I'm tapped out.
26:00You mean to say the 150,000?
26:03Que sera, sera.
26:07Lovely sentiment, yes.
26:10Listen, Edward, what about your collateral?
26:13Can't get my hands on it right now.
26:16Look, Edward, old man, I don't mean to appear dense,
26:19but last night you told me you could take me right to it.
26:22Well, I exaggerated.
26:24You mean you lied.
26:26Only if I lost.
26:28Tell me, Edward, did you ever have any collateral?
26:31Are you kidding?
26:33The stuff I had was worth a couple of mil at least, but I hawked it.
26:36You hawked it?
26:38I needed cash for the table.
26:40See, there's this guy in town, he's kind of like a pawnbroker.
26:43When you run out of legitimate credit,
26:45you take whatever you can get your hands on to him, no questions asked.
26:48You got ten days to redeem it before he sells it.
26:51You got 30 grand?
26:53It is a little hot.
26:55Um...
26:57Look, Edward, if, uh,
26:59if this, uh, stuff you have is as valuable as you say it is,
27:04I can get a lot more than 30 grand for it.
27:06Yeah?
27:08Of course, we'll have to redeem it first, you know.
27:10Well, that'll only take 50,000.
27:1350,000.
27:15Well, the guy's entitled to make a profit, isn't he?
27:18Who is this we're talking about, Edward?
27:20His name's Seymour Smith. He works out of a suite at the Nugget.
27:23Say, 50,000 for a high-roller like you, that isn't a problem, is it?
27:26No, I mean, I spend as much as that a week on tips, you know.
27:30Put her there, partner.
27:32Yes, well, we each get exactly what we deserve.
27:35Right.
27:37Well, this has been a lovely walking tour of Vegas, Miss Holt,
27:40but it appears your boss has put one over on you.
27:43I told you. Mr. Steele is somewhere on Grogan's trail.
27:46He's as bent on finding those jewels as you are.
27:49I pity Grogan if he holds back on Mr. Steele this time.
27:52The boss will turn him inside out.
27:55Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
27:57Isn't that right?
27:59It has been very nice
28:01To go traveling here
28:03To Paris, London...
28:05Steele certainly is giving him a hard time, huh?
28:08Why, that treacherous snake.
28:11All right, Keys.
28:13How do we nail him?
28:20I can't believe what I'm hearing.
28:23You told Keys that you'd help trap me?
28:26What was I supposed to tell him?
28:28That you were a thief and you are a fraud?
28:31Good point.
28:33Well, so much for the truth.
28:35Time for plan B.
28:37Which is?
28:39Treachery and deceit.
28:41The hounds want a fox to chase, we shall provide one.
28:44I'll get Keys out of your hair
28:46And we'll move on to the next phase of our master plan.
28:49And what's that, she asked, with a feeling of impending doom?
28:52Raising $50,000.
28:54$50,000?
28:56Well, let me bag a tell, Laura.
28:58Considering what it will buy for us,
29:00Murdoch's jewels, Grogan, a finder's fee,
29:02And our reputations restored.
29:04We already owe the insurance company $150,000.
29:08This suite, your car, and Mildred's outfit
29:11Put us back another small fortune.
29:13And now you want $50,000 more?
29:15Laura, will you listen for heaven's sake?
29:17Grogan gave the jewels to a quasi-porn broker.
29:19We have to get them out of hock.
29:21Why not just steal the damn things back?
29:23I'm absolutely shocked.
29:25Actually, I thought about it, but it's a bit too risky.
29:28Anyway, I told Grogan I'd meet him tonight at 6 to reclaim the jewels.
29:326? Couldn't you make it a little later?
29:34No, he has to get out of town.
29:36And besides that, he's got two rather nasty characters after him.
29:39Now, I've had Mildred draw up our financial situation.
29:42Mildred, will you come in here, please?
29:45Yes, Mr. Steele?
29:47Mildred, will you explain to Miss Holt our financial situation here?
29:51Total assets of the agency top out at $72,000 or thereabouts.
29:55See? We can swing it.
29:57And how much can we get our hands on, say, by 6 o'clock tonight?
30:01Quick current assets?
30:03$3,420.
30:06Not exactly what I'd call bullish.
30:09All right, all right, all right.
30:11Everybody, empty your pockets.
30:13What?
30:14Just do it.
30:16It's time for the old math major to go to work.
30:19Mildred, I want you to run down to the newsstand and get me a book on casino odds.
30:23I need to refresh my memory.
30:25Well, I need a couple of bucks.
30:26Charge you to the room? I need every cent.
30:28Laura, look.
30:29This time, I would rather face the odds than vigilance insurance
30:32if we don't get these jewels back.
30:34Now, if you have any better suggestion, I'd be glad to hear it.
30:38All right.
30:40What do we do about Keyes?
30:42Call for Mr. Norman Keyes.
30:44Mr. Norman Keyes.
30:46Call for Mr. Keyes.
30:47Here you go. I'm Keyes.
30:48Okay, sir, you can take your call right here, sir.
30:51Yes, sir.
30:53Keyes here.
30:54Holt.
30:55What do you got for me?
30:56He's on his way down.
30:58Called for his car.
31:00He wouldn't say where he's going,
31:02but I've got a feeling it's important.
31:06All right, I got him. We'll talk later.
31:19I got you a few.
31:21$186.23.
31:24It's not much of a stake, but it's better than nothing.
31:27Are you sure you know what you're doing?
31:29Of course not, Mildred.
31:31But when has that stopped us before?
31:33Good point.
31:41All right, we're trailing that Corvette,
31:43only we don't want him to know he's being trailed.
31:45You got it?
31:46Yes, sir.
32:04I think I'm ready.
32:05Oh, Miss Holt.
32:06Remember what happened to me in Cannes?
32:08Maybe we should just...
32:09My chips, Mildred.
32:28Hit.
32:31You hit on $16?
32:33You can stay on one condition, Mildred.
32:35What's that?
32:36You have to shut up.
32:38Good point.
32:42What do they call this part of town?
32:45The desert.
33:01You are the coolest cucumber I've ever seen.
33:04You're fantastic.
33:06I have a mathematical appreciation for the game, Mildred.
33:08I don't understand the emotional component.
33:11Well, this has been very profitable,
33:13but it's moving much too slowly.
33:15Collect the chips, Mildred.
33:17Here you go, Tim.
33:19Sorry. We eat every soup.
33:21Catch you later.
33:31Heh.
33:37We're up to $65, sir.
33:40I can read.
33:42And quit calling me sir.
33:52You don't know this game, Miss Holt.
33:54I played Baccarat for 12 straight hours in Cannes.
33:57Won and lost tens of thousands of dollars,
33:59and I still don't know the first thing about it.
34:01It's very simple, Mildred.
34:03You either bet on the player or you bet on the bank.
34:06It appears that's all there is to it.
34:08I'm game.
34:29That'll be a dollar.
34:59Is there a back door here?
35:01Yes, sir. Right through there.
35:14You drove all the way to Hoover Dam to buy postcards?
35:30Come on! The pass line, Mildred!
35:32Come on!
35:34Don't hold me up! Put it right down there!
35:36Nora!
35:38All right, put everything behind the pass line, Mildred.
35:40Oh, Miss Holt! That's $30,000!
35:42Come on, Mildred! Don't hold me up!
35:44Get out there now! Come on!
35:46Nora!
35:48Ha!
35:50Nora!
35:52Hey, hey, hey! Don't interrupt her now!
35:54She's held the dice for 15 minutes!
35:56It's the best streak I've ever seen!
35:58Nora, Nora, Nora, Nora! Stop, please!
36:00Please, Nora, just please stop!
36:02Mildred, how much are we ahead?
36:0460,000!
36:0660,000!
36:08Nora, please, just hold on a second, please!
36:10We don't know what you're doing! You can stop!
36:12You can stop! You don't have to do it!
36:14Please! Nora, you don't know what you're doing!
36:16You need sleep! You don't understand!
36:18This is my car!
36:20Don't bite me, Nora!
36:22Let me go! You can't do this to me!
36:24The lady retires! The lady retires!
36:26No! No!
36:28No, no, no!
36:30Mildred, no!
36:32No, no, no!
36:50You're open as a late.
36:52I owe you an apology.
36:54Mm-hmm.
36:56I acted quite unprofessionally a few minutes ago.
36:58Well, it's only natural, Nora.
37:01You were on a fantastic streak.
37:03I embarrassed myself.
37:07You're remarkable.
37:09You save our hides by piling a pocketful of change into $60,000,
37:13and then you get upset because you get a little carried away.
37:16I was willing to risk everything on the next day.
37:19I was willing to risk everything on the next roll.
37:22It just makes you human, Nora.
37:27Appealingly human.
37:35Hello, Grogan.
37:37Murdoch.
37:55You were supposed to return the jewels. Now where are they?
37:57Well, you owe me $10,000.
37:59You're a prize.
38:01You double-crossed me, and you still want the rest of your money?
38:03Listen to me.
38:05You miserable twerp. You're lucky I don't blow your worthless head off.
38:07I want the jewels.
38:09I haven't got them.
38:12But I can get them.
38:20Well...
38:22perhaps I should visit this pawnbroker myself.
38:28I think the issue just became moot.
38:31Pick your card! Pick your card!
38:33Come on!
38:37Walter!
38:39Mr. Keyes! Where have you been? I thought you were...
38:41Never mind that. Was that Steele just now?
38:43I tried to stall him.
38:45Hey, come on, come on. If we hurry, we can follow him.
38:48I can feel the noose tightening.
38:55$500.
38:57Don't feel too badly.
38:59After all, you're not selling it outright.
39:02You come back within 10 days...
39:05with $1,000, and it's yours again.
39:09Poor suckers will never learn.
39:11Thank God.
39:14Smith?
39:16Mr. Smith, I'm a blackjack dealer over at the D.I.
39:18Word's out you're looking for Eddie Grogan.
39:20That's right.
39:22Well, I'm eyeballing him right now...
39:25and he's spending dough like a crazy man.
39:27You drop by tomorrow.
39:29There'll be something for you.
39:31Thank you, sir.
39:39Grogan's at the D.I.
39:41Grogan's at the D.I.
40:04Eddie, what's this all about?
40:06The jewels.
40:08The jewels? You're kidding, Eddie.
40:10Come on, this is a gag, huh?
40:12Get them.
40:14Listen, you've got to be crazy.
40:16Those jewels are...
40:18I know all about them. Get them.
40:20You and your pal are dead here, Grogan.
40:23You know that, don't you?
40:41Here.
40:58Mr. Smith!
41:00Oh.
41:02Oh, Mrs.
41:10Oh.
41:30Well, well.
41:32I know.
41:34This doesn't look good.
41:36Call the police.
41:38The longer you wait, Miss Holt,
41:40the more I'm gonna think you're part of this.
41:43Yeah.
41:49I have one piece of advice for you, Mr. Steele.
41:52Yeah?
41:54Run.
42:08Eddie!
42:10Eddie, what happened?
42:12Eddie!
42:14Here, Reggie, they're all yours.
42:16What?
42:18Damn you!
42:20Grogan, come back here!
42:22Eddie!
42:24Give it to me!
42:26What the hell do you want?
42:28The case.
42:39Wrong case.
42:41Help! Help! Help! Help!
42:46Steele! Steele!
42:48You shouldn't have killed Smith.
42:50Steele, you're going away for a long time.
42:52He killed Seymour?
42:54That's right! He shot him!
42:56Aah!
42:58Ooh! Ooh!
43:00Please don't. Please don't.
43:02Please don't.
43:04Please don't.
43:06Please don't. Please don't.
43:26Oh, my God!
43:30Wait a minute! Wait!
43:32No! No! Wait!
43:36No!
43:38Well, easy come...
43:44Pete!
43:48Okay, Eddie.
43:50Looks like these jewels are going back where they belong.
43:52That's right.
43:54And with you two finally gone,
43:56that'll be the end of it.
44:02Eddie,
44:04never, never bet against the housemaid.
44:08Come fly with me
44:10We'll fly
44:12Let's fly away
44:16If you can use
44:18Some exotic booze
44:20There's a bar in Barbam Bay
44:24Come fly with me
44:26Let's fly, let's fly away
44:28Let's fly away
44:32Are they really paste?
44:36Absolutely.
44:38This whole thing was about fake jewels?
44:40It turns out Murdoch has been doing
44:42some heavy gambling of his own mildred,
44:44speculating in the commodities market.
44:46And so, to cover his losses,
44:48he sold the original jewelry
44:50and replaced it with paste,
44:52so neither his wife or anyone else
44:54would suspect that he was in trouble.
44:56He hired Grogan to steal the jewels
44:58for the insurance money.
45:00Yeah, but he didn't tell Grogan the jewels were fake.
45:02He just gave him instructions
45:04on how to pull off the robbery
45:06and told him, just return the stuff the next day.
45:08But Grogan, thinking that they were real,
45:10double-crossed Murdoch.
45:12Right, so he gave him to Smith
45:14the whole for $30,000.
45:16Smith took a closer look at him
45:18and thought that Eddie was trying to double-cross him.
45:20Murdoch came to Las Vegas because he'd be ruined
45:22if the fakes were recovered.
45:24Smith lost his life
45:26for paste jewelry.
45:28I got to get back to the home office.
45:30Incidentally, I spoke to Mr. Capstone, our president.
45:32He said since you, uh, you saved us
45:34the $2.5 million payout,
45:36you can forget the $150,000 you owe us.
45:38Ha!
45:40Ooh, what about the finders' fee?
45:42Finders' fee? What, on paste?
45:44Mm-hmm.
45:48A memento.
45:50Are you a betting man?
45:52I'm Miss Holtz, the gambler of the organization.
45:54Well, I'll be willing to lay you odds.
45:56I'll be seeing you against you.
46:00Or whoever you are.
46:04Ha-ha-ha!
46:08What did he mean by that?
46:10Oh, every good detective
46:12has many faces noted.
46:14Many.
46:16That's it.
46:18Where are you going?
46:20To cry.
46:22Oh.
46:24We had all that money.
46:26Well,
46:28we still have about $10,000
46:30left over,
46:32which would just about cover
46:34our Las Vegas expenses.
46:36♪ On the street of dreams
46:42♪ Dreams broken in two
46:46♪ Can be made like new
46:50Colorful community, Miss Holtz.
46:52Shall we?
46:54Let's see.
46:56♪ Gold, silver, and gold
47:00♪ All you can hold
47:03♪ Is up there on that moonbeam
47:09♪ For nobody's poor
47:14♪ Long as love is sure
47:17♪ On the street of dreams
47:22Must say, it looks awfully real, doesn't it?
47:25You could probably palm it off
47:27on some poor, unsuspecting soul.
47:33And I'm not careful, Miss Holtz.
47:35You could make an honest man of me.
47:37I'm counting on it, Mr. Steele.
47:40♪ For no one is poor
47:45♪ Long as love is sure
47:48♪ On the street of dreams
47:52♪♪♪
