Well, here's the laundry, waiting to be picked up.
- Where have you been? - Swimming.
I bet you don't believe me.
Ballin won't either, unless you're there to back me up.
You went swimming with me. Didn't we have a good time?
Swimming ... Where's your bathing suit?
Under this. Want to see?
- I'll get dressed. - I hate to drag you out now.
But it's your idea.
Why not make it easy on yourself and let him find out about me?
Are you afraid of what he might do to me?
Johnny ...
- I am. - What?
- Afraid. - You?
- I wish I'd never ... - Never what?
Getting married on the rebound is stupid.
- Rebound from what? - You.
Because you don't know a man you've only known one day.
He doesn't know you, either. That way you start even.
All fair and even.
Would it interest you to know how much I hate you, Johnny?
I hate you so much that I'd destroy myself to take you down with me.
Now I've warned you. Now that's all fair and even.
All fair and even.
I know why you're here at five in the morning.
I'm the laundry. I'm simply obeying instructions.
Now who's kidding who?
Now you've delivered me, don't you want to get a receipt from the man?
- Ballin ... you're up. - Yes.
- Late to bed, early to rise ... - Let Gilda talk, Johnny.
I thought I could sneak out and get back without waking you.
We went swimming. You were asleep.
Suddenly I had to go swimming. It was so hot.
- You weren't worried, were you? - Yes.
- I'm terribly sorry. - Is that why you're so nervous?
Nervous? No ...
A terrible thing happened to me. No wonder I'm nervous.
- I lost the clip you gave me. - Is that all?
- Isn't that enough? - A clip can be replaced.
Thanks for being so nice about it. I'm sorry.
A clip can be replaced. You see, I thought I had lost you.
Me? Not a chance.
- And that couldn't be replaced. - Let's have a drink, before I cry.
Johnny doesn't think it would be a tragedy if you lost me.
There are more women in the world than anything else, except insects.
On that charming observation, I shall go and change for breakfast.
Johnny is a terrific swimmer. He out-distanced me beautifully.
But some day there will be a return match, and then, look out, Johnny.
Johnny, you'll have to teach me how.
- How to what? - Swim, what else?
- Sure. Any time. - Apparently you're very good at it.
- Pretty good. - Did you teach Gilda how to swim?
I taught her everything she knows. Does that satisfy you?
Let's take that trombone part over again and make it cleaner.
Julio, Julio!
You can't tell me where to put it!
These are things some merry-makers add to their costumes.
- Care to make a choice? - You have a great sense of humour.
- Which would you suggest? - Whatever you wear ...
You will start out as this, and end up as this.
- How did you figure that out? - It is the beautiful one's party.
She has changed the decorations, the orchestra. Maybe she'll change ...
I warned you once. You didn't listen. Now you're through.
- Through with what? - The casino. You're fired.
You are mistaken. I will be here after you are gone, Mr. Peasant.
You once asked what a philosopher like me was doing in the washroom.
Now I'll tell you. To my department comes all the gossip ...
He's not here. No one is here.
Maybe the "private" sign should have been printed in German, too.
Or maybe you can't speak Spanish. But I assure you, it says "private".
We intend to see Mr. Mundson. He's been avoiding us.
Mr. Mundson is allergic to messenger boys.
The American lndian walks into something that doesn't concern him.
- That's an old American custom. - You're not invited to the party.
- Tell the old man to go away. - No, you go away.
- We intend to see Mr. Mundson. - You said that before ...
Get him on the telephone.
Why didn't you say what you wanted?
Mr. Mundson. This is Mr. Farrel.
Some add these to their costumes. I have two lovely heads of pigs ...
No sale, Uncle Pio. They'll just use their own faces.
Ballin? There are two nice kids here with German accents.
They want an appointment with you. One of them has a gun in my back.
Tell them to come here, in an hour.
And Johnny, you come now. Immediately.
- Listen, Maria. Carnival. - Yes, little one. Carnival.
- What does it mean, exactly? - The last three days before Lent.
In Roman Catholic countries, it's feasting and merry-making.
Then comes the fasting and the penance.
- Make hay while the sun shines. - You have a strange language.
I mean, three days of sowing wild oats ...
... and then comes the harvest.
Maria, I have the funniest feeling.
Don't tell anybody, but I'm awfully superstitious.
Don't tell anybody.
I have the funniest feeling that this is it.
- It? - I mean ...
That for me, too, it's carnival.
Gilda?
- Yes, Ballin? - May I come in?
I'm going to be delayed. Johnny will take you to the party.
What's the matter?
You're very excited about something. Perhaps it's in the air.
Perhaps you shouldn't have opened the window. Close it.
See how quiet it is now?
See how easily one can shut away excitement?
Just by closing a window. Remember that, Gilda.
I want to see your costume before you go. I see you'll carry a whip.
Have you warned Johnny, so he can also arm himself?
Nobody could ever dance like you.
When a person dances with you, it's like they're a part of you.
You always did talk your head off all the time you were dancing.
You used to say, "One thing at a time."
"Talk or dance, but don't do both things at the same time."
- You used to say ... - I still say it.
I have to keep talking, as long as I have my arms around you.
- I might forget to dance. - What are you trying to do?
I'm not even trying very hard, but I'm doing it.
Doing what?
- Push my hat back, Johnny. - It's all right.
Push it back.
You're out of practise, aren't you? Dancing, I mean.
I could help you get in practise again. Dancing, I mean.
Good evening.
Obregon. I'm in again, as you put it.
- We're all here. - Yes, we are.
I suggest sending Mrs. Mundson home. There's going to be trouble.
I suggest you get her out before the unmasking at twelve.
You sound like a bad melodrama.
- What are you doing? - Here's the comic relief.
- Now the drama's complete. - What do you want?
I got a letter for you. She was sorry she didn't get to say goodbye.
- No bad news, I hope? - Johnny, she left with ...
- What's that to you? - You sure act sore about it.
- You'd think she was your ... - Check everyone that comes in.
She didn't come in, she went out.
Lose something, Mr. Farrel?
- I didn't even know you'd arrived. - But obviously I did.
- Where's Gilda? - I can't keep track, in this mob.
Find her for me.
Sure. I won't guarantee how long it'll take.
I'll wait. I'm a great one for waiting.
Take your mask off, it's time to unmask.
- Going home would be a good idea. - Why, because a man drank too much?
That messenger boy didn't drink too much, he was murdered.
Good. It saves us the trouble.
- Did your keep your appointment? - No, I missed them.
- Did you find Gilda? - No.
- Find her, take her home. - I'll stick with you.
No. In chemin de fer, you play for the full stake or you pass the shoe.
You can't rule the world by passing the shoe.
Do as I say. Take her home. I expect my little friends to be obedient.
- Speaking of little friends ... - Don't.
Wait for me at home. I may need both of my little friends tonight.
Okay, Ballin.
This is Mundson. Call the airfield, tell them to proceed as instructed.
Is that clear? Proceed as instructed.
- Ballin was wrong, wasn't he? - About what?
He said you could shut out excitement by just closing a door.
You can't, can you?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I was just mentioning how quiet it was in the house.
There isn't anybody here but us. Everybody's celebrating Carnival.
What about it?
I was just mentioning it.
Goodnight, Johnny.
I couldn't get out of my head what she said about us being alone.
Ballin was in the casino, fighting for his life. And this little ...
I knew all his dreams of greatness would be wrecked because of her.
He wasn't strong enough to throw her out. I had to do it for him.
Gilda!
Get your clothes on, you're getting out of here.
Are we, Johnny? Are we?
Not we. You!
- You do hate me, don't you? - You have no idea how much.
Hate is a very exciting emotion.
Haven't you noticed? Very exciting ...
I hate you too, Johnny.
I hate you so much, I think I'm going to die from it.
Darling ...
I think I'm going to die from it.
You left it open when you came in.
Ballin!
Africa's more than 2,000 miles away.
- I don't think he'll make it. - I don't think he intends to try.
- You managed it. - Naturally. The sea plane is ready?
- You ran into trouble? - An unfortunate murder.
Obregon knows I did it. I'll stay away as long as necessary, -
- then I'll go back, and attend to something.
In his will, Ballin left everything to Gilda, with me as sole executor.
I had the papers that Ballin said would let a man rule the world.
It didn't seem like much.
The tungsten mine, a few patents, a dozen small corporations -
- that formed one organisation with Mundson at the head.
But then I saw the power. How it could gobble up the opposition.
You've come a long way to learn what will happen to your association.
I've told you. Now you can return knowing that nothing has changed.
I'll carry on where Mr. Mundson left off.
- Anything else, gentlemen? - No one man should be in charge ...
I'm the sole executor. It's going to be business as usual.
- Mrs. Mundson is the sole legatee. - And in no condition to see anyone.
Her husband's death hit her hard. She asked me to represent her.
We need be in no hurry to leave. She may recover.
Not a chance in the world. She's marrying me this afternoon.
It stopped raining. Maybe that means something.
You haven't got over being superstitious. Come on.
- Not back to the house? - Do you think I'm that kind of guy?
No one knows what kind of guy you are but me. Not even you.
All my clothes are here.
Even my perfume. You think of everything.
We're right back where we started. Right back where ...
Right back where we started.
Johnny, that isn't even decent.
What was that word again?
Decent ... I said, "decent".
That's what I thought you said. It sounded funny coming out of you.
She didn't know then that the door was closing on her own cage.
She wasn't faithful before, but she would be, now that he was dead.
Why are you coming to work tonight? I believe in my duty to my job ...
Good, because you've got a new one.
From now on, you stick with Mrs. Mundson ... Mrs. Farrel.
You're always with her. She talks to no one, and no one talks to her.
- You get that? - Is she in danger?
You will be, if you don't do exactly as I've told you.
- You were quiet this afternoon. - What I have to say, I say to you.
- Not the others. - I'm flattered.
Would you like to know how Mundson came to be the head of the cartel?
- You saw the patents were German. - They were.
- They belong to my principals. - Not anymore.
Three years ago, when Argentina was poised to declare war against us, -
- we allowed Mundson to buy our patents.
- Good idea. The casino as a front. - We even advanced him the money.
You couldn't have picked a nicer man.
We had an agreement. He was to return our property after the war.
- I didn't find any agreement. - It was a gentleman's agreement.
- And he wasn't a gentleman? - He was a madman.
He thought he could rule the world.
I know. We had quite a discussion about it.
She still didn't believe I wasn't coming back.
Every night she got dressed up and waited.
But Gilda couldn't stand not knowing the why of things, -
- so she swallowed her pride and came to see me. That was wonderful.
Yes?
Hello. Remember me?
I'm Gilda, your wife. Remember?
You haven't been around lately. I thought maybe you had amnesia.
Got a light?
You don't look so hot.
You're losing weight.
This vacuum I'm living in ... Mind giving me a reason?
You've had such a full life up till now, -
- I thought some quiet would give you time to think.
- Think about what? - Is it too corny to say, your sins?
- Yes, it is. - Well, I said it.
You're cock-eyed, Johnny.
I figured that was the deal. You're getting even with me for something.
We're great people for getting even. Aren't we?
I got even with you by marrying Ballin.
- That's great. The man's dead ... - And I'm glad! He was insane.
- I was afraid all the time. - You acted like it.
There's never been anybody but you and me.
All those things I did were just to make you jealous.
- There's never been anybody else. - Not anybody?
Not anybody.
If you could forget your husband so easily, you could forget others.
- But there weren't any others. - Admit them. Tell me who they were.
Who'd think one woman could marry two insane men in one lifetime?
She wasn't scared, yet, because she didn't realise yet.
Right now she was just mad, and she was hitting back.
Try and locate a Mr. Gabe Evans. Try all the hotels in the city.
She couldn't find him, so she reached out for anyone.
They weren't hard to find.
The waiter told him he had a call.
One of my men grabbed him outside. He never came back.
She found somebody else, of course.
But wherever she went ...
She finally realised Buenos Aires was her prison, so she ran away.
She got a job singing in a club in Montevideo.
She started divorce proceedings, and met a man.
Let forever be tonight, is that a date?
I haven't even got my divorce yet.
- I haven't any right to ... - I don't want you to divorce.
The divorce you get here will never stand up in Argentina.
- But I'm never going back there. - You may want to go home some time.
Wherever you go, you'll be tied to him. You'll never be free.
Then it didn't do any good to run away.
It never does.
Go back to Buenos Aires and get an annulment.
He left you right after the ceremony. There's nothing to it!
I'll be right by your side. I'm a very good lawyer, you know.
I have more money than I can spend, and I'm in love with you.
- Isn't that a terrific combination? - Yes, it is.
The plane leaves at two o'clock. At two the next day you'll be free!
I didn't think I'd ever trust another man, but here I go again.
Thanks, Tom.
- Tom, this is the Hotel Centenario. - I was told it's a good hotel.
I think it's wonderful.
- I'll do it. - Your bags will be right up.
The light switch is here, if my memory doesn't fail me.
Okay, Langford.
I'll do it anyway. I'll get an annulment!
- There's no annulment in Argentina. - I'll get it anyway!
I will! I'll get an annulment! I will!
Johnny, please let me go.
I can't stand it anymore. I don't want anything from you, -
- but please, just let me go.
- Getting you here was a nice touch. - About that night ...
I don't want to hear about that night. Can't you understand?
- I was waiting for you, Mr. Farrel. - Find anything interesting?
Close the joint up if it bothers you so much.
Why do you think we allow the casino to stay open?
You leave a purse-snatcher alone if he'll lead you to a bigger crime.
We know you run the monopoly. We want the names of the participants.
- I don't know what you're on about. - I'll wait.
You're breaking up in little pieces. Am I wearing you down?
- You? - Something is.
I hadn't noticed ...
More!
I'm not very good at zippers. Maybe if I had some help ...
- I'll help you. - I'm an expert!
- I hate to do this, but Johnny ... - Leave me alone!
- What is this? - Now they know what I am.
It's no use just you knowing it. Now they know you got taken!
That he married a ...
The German has been arrested. He will talk.
All we want from you are the patents and the signed agreements.
We must know who the signers are -
- to prosecute them for breaking the anti-trust laws.
You didn't hear a word of it. All you can think of is Gilda.
- You love each other terribly. - I hate her!
That's what I mean. It's the oddest love/hate pattern I've ever seen.
As long as you're sick in the head about her, you can't think clearly.
All right, you're under arrest for operating a gambling casino.
I'll let you stay here under protective custody.
Send for me when you can't stand it anymore. I want those signatures.
I can out-wait you. I have the law on my side.
It's a very comfortable feeling. You ought to try it some time.
8 left, 24 right, 2 left, 1 7 right.
- You got that? - I got it.
There's everything in there you want, and nothing that I want.
No. That's at the casino, waiting.
When you sent for me, I sent for Gilda. She's going home.
- Home? Clear home? - At least you could wish her luck.
- She makes her own luck. - How dumb can a man be?
Get out of here before you realise what a heel you've been.
I can't bear to see you break down. I'm a sensitive man, for a cop.
Gilda didn't do any of those things you've been losing sleep over.
It was just an act, every bit of it.
But I'll give you credit, you were a great audience.
Would you like a drink of ambrosia, suitable only for a goddess?
No, thank you.
Mr. Obregon said the place had been taken over by the government.
Don't think about it.
A cigarette, perhaps? Blended of the finest tobaccos -
- from the most romantic places of the world.
No, thank you.
- It all looks lonely, doesn't it? - All bad things end up lonely.
I know that, don't l? You can keep your silly epigrams to yourself.
Uncle Pio.
I hear you're going home. I came to say goodbye.
I want to go with you, Gilda. Please take me.
- I know I did everything wrong. - Isn't it wonderful?
Nobody has to apologise, because we were both such stinkers.
- Isn't it wonderful? - Wonderful ...
I didn't intend to come back so soon, but I want my wife.
You thought I died that night. I murdered a man, -
- so I disappeared for a while. I came to the house to get Gilda.
I found her occupied with you. I had no time for an emotional scene.
I had a launch waiting for me. You didn't see me parachute out.
You weren't seeing very clearly that night. Emotion clouds the brain.
I intended to kill you with this, to have one friend kill the other.
But now it won't do, because I have to kill Gilda, too.
I told you I'd be looking ...
Better get out of here, Uncle Pio, quick!
I'm a great cop, and a pushover for a love story.
I know the combination of the safe, but I don't know where it is.
It's on the wall, behind the desk.
Thanks. Say, haven't I seen that cane somewhere before?
Yes. You shouldn't leave such things lying around where I can reach them.
He's lying, like the gentleman I always said he was. It was I ...
- Keep your mouth shut! - You two can quit being noble.
A man can only die once, and Mundson killed himself three months ago.
Besides, didn't you ever hear of a thing called justifiable homicide?
Johnny, let's go home. Let's go home.
