1:26:00
Where do i meet her?
1:26:01
She'll be near
a cocktail bar
1:26:03
called
the peacock room
1:26:04
on the main
boulevard near 14th street.
1:26:06
Here. Wear this.
She knows it.
1:26:08
She'll go there
every half-hour.
1:26:09
You better leave
now and take those detectives off me.
1:26:11
Take them on a tour
of chinatown.
1:26:13
Keep them following
you while i go down to bay city.
1:26:15
Right. I got it.
Good luck, marlowe.
1:26:18
Adrienne: Marlowe,
wait a minute.
1:26:20
You realize,
of course, it may be a trap.
1:26:21
It may be a trap
that kingsby himself has set for you.
1:26:24
Marlowe: Yeah.
1:26:25
Please don't go.
1:26:26
Everything or nothing.
I'm going to trust you.
1:26:27
If you're not
on the level, i get a face full of bullets.
1:26:30
If you are, i'll
see you down there.
1:26:32
What?
1:26:33
I want 10 minutes alone
with crystal kingsby,
1:26:34
and then i want you
to show up with captain kane and one or two of his boys.
1:26:37
But, marlowe-
1:26:38
it's the chance
i have to take.
1:26:40
What i'm going
to try to do is this:
1:26:42
Make crystal take me
to wherever it is she's hiding out-
1:26:44
hotel room, apartment,
wherever it is.
1:26:46
Well, how will
we know where it is? How will we find you?
1:26:50
Quoting a girl
named fromsett,
1:26:52
i read a story once...
how a detective carried rice in his pocket.
1:26:56
As he walked along,
he distributed it, kernel for kernel,
1:27:00
and left
a very nice trail.
1:27:02
Why don't you let
kane arrest crystal?
1:27:04
We'd never
get anywhere.
1:27:05
She'd be locked up,
and i'd be locked up.
1:27:07
Are the keys
in your car?
1:27:10
Yes.
1:27:10
I'll go down
the back stairs to the garage.
1:27:13
Good-bye,
miss fromsett.
1:27:14
You've been
charming company.
1:27:18
Marlowe...
1:27:20
this is the payoff,
isn't it?
1:27:22
Say that again
about the...
1:27:25
"i'm scared,
but it's wonderful" feeling.
1:27:28
I'm scared...
1:27:31
but it's wonderful.
1:27:34
Good-bye.
