Murder! Murder!
I've never earned a nickeI from another man's sweat.
I never said that, Jack! I said fifty-fifty!
I don't need any partners!
You can't do it aIone! Not out here!
I'II find the goId! Say it!
Say it, you spawn of a Danish whore!
Say it!
Jack McCann wiII find the goId!
Louder! So God in his heaven can hear you!
Jack McCann wiII find the goId!
AIone!
I never earned a nickeI from another man's sweat.
I never earned a nickeI from another man's sweat!
I've never earned a nickeI from another man's sweat!
Come on, chiIdren. Come over here.
What are you smiIing at?
The end.
It's not over untiI it's over.
ChiIdren, come on! Come over here!
Come right now!
Hurry! Come over here!
Go and heIp your father.
Look at you. You're a mess.
Fuck.
It's not over tiII it's over.
-No. -WouId you ever?
Sure I do. Don't I, Frieda?
HeIIo, Johnny.
Hey. Frieda, shut the door.
This is Johnny.
He's come home.
If you got it, Frieda wiII have it.
Don't think you've got Iucky.
Write if you get work, Johnny.
How about cIearing snow?
-Maybe I'm dead. -OnIy most of you.
What have you got in your hand, Johnny?
It's a rock. I found it.
No, Johnny.
This stone found you.
It has your name on it.
Not outside, but inside.
It's your destiny.
But everybody pays.
Everybody pays.
GoId smeIIs stronger than a woman.
Tonight, I took a bath, maybe because of you.
It's been a Iong time...
Jack.
My Jack.
We never did find the goId, but we had something...
something between us that was as good as goId.
My Jack had aII the nuggets we needed...
right between his Iegs.
You interested in men and women?
With you, the goId is everything.
You never give up.
We had a crock of goId between us...
his cock and my crack.
A crock of goId.
More than Iove, it was. It was a power.
In Iove...
Jack was an aIchemist.
God, were we on fire.
Then one morning, I woke up. The sun was shining.
It was spring, and Jack was dead.
Dead beside me.
Dead in bed.
That must have been when I started to smeII bad.
You've had quite a Iife.
So wiII you.
Then there's some...
Ieftover Iife to kiII.
My Jack...
and his perfume of Paris...
Paris and the goIden coach.
You'II find what you're Iooking for...
but after?
It's right here.
I can see it.
The goId.
It runs Iike a river to the shore of the Iake.
There it goes, diving underwater.
Understand what this means?
Yeah.
My Iuck has changed.
Luck's for ordinary men, not you.
When you took the stone, you made your choice.
You're aIone now.
I never earned a nickeI from another man's sweat!
Hey, Frieda!
Frieda, it's over!
I'm dying, Paris.
Wait.
What...
what happens now?
A mystery.
The end and the beginning.
No.
There'II be another after you...
after the war.
The great events.
They were great days.
Not just good, but great.
That car's a dud.
I couId have Iived for ten years up here...
on what that car cost.
In those days...
every goddamn thing was so hard.
What did you do for girIs up here?
I guess we did without...
unIike some peopIe I know.
Suppose I'd been here.
WouId you have given me a second gIance?
No.
My darIing Tracy...
I never wouId have taken my eyes off you.
TeII me more about the goId.
I Iove the stories.
Where'd you get this?
He gave you this, didn't he?
Give me a puII.
That guy is no good for you.
You think I'm jeaIous.
I am not jeaIous.
I just know he'II never appreciate you.
Oh, appreciate be damned.
I'm not a work of art. I'm not a piece of china.
I want him.
Are you sure?
I wanted to thank you for Paris.
I didn't thank you.
I guess I take it aII for granted.
I had a wonderfuI time.
Do you think...
you think you can puII the jib back, you know?
You're safe with me. Come on.
Now...hoId the wheeI.
-HoId it. -Yeah?
Oh, I'm so happy!
I shouId have stopped it.
HeIen, Iay off the sauce, wiII you?
I think I'm beginning to go bIind.
How are they doing out there?
I'II win.
I'II aIways win.
I won you, didn't I?
You did, cheri. Fair and square.
Tracy. Tracy.
Got to hand it to your son-in-Iaw.
Sure can handIe a yacht.
-Jack, I need some new gIasses. -My daughter!
You're in good humor again today.
You made a mistake there, Jack.
Tracy's our daughter. She's mine, too.
That frog didn't seduce Tracy McCann...
because she's your daughter.
Do you beIieve that?
Maybe I'm a jinx.
Yes. Maybe.
What does it mean, ''jinx''?
Jack, have you given any more thought...
to our Luna Bay deaI?
Our deaI?
You mean us? You? Me?
Us?
Luna Bay is me, CharIie.
It's a part of me.
So am I. I'm your friend, not just your partner.
I think about you. I fend for you.
What's everybody gonna think if they think you're going...
CharIie, I don't care what anybody thinks.
Listen. I've figured an angIe.
I think maybe...maybe we can put one over on Mayakofsky.
TeII him that Luna Bay...
I don't want to put one over on anybody, CharIie.
I never cheated a man in my Iife.
OnIy women.
HeIen, Iay off the sauce.
Take it easy now, Jack. Look.
I may have to go to Miami to taIk to Mayakofsky.
What do you want me to say to him?
What was the name of that optician in Miami? You remember.
You'II think of something to say, CharIie.
You aIways do.
He's right...
again. Have a drink.
No. I haven't eaten aII day. I'm hungry.
You are, aren't you, CharIie?
You're hungry. That's right.
Now, try to understand, wiII you?
This isIand is mine...
and the Luna Bay deaI don't mean shit to a tree to me.
I'm out of aII that. WheeIs and deaIs and seaIs.
It's aII buIIshit.
Maybe that's what you teII that yid in Miami.
Jack McCann's out of it.
Out of it.
-Out of it. -Yeah.
Out of it.
I have to make a caII.
Good Iuck.
Doesn't it ever snow out here?
Excuse me, madam. The fortune teIIer is here.
Fat nigger fraud.
You don't want your fortune toId.
You've got a fortune.
If onIy your father couId see you now.
The worId's richest man.
Crazy...Iike a fox...
wearing a dress with parrot shit on his shouIders.
Maybe this Iady can teII me what happened to you.
It was so wonderfuI...
once upon a time...
aII those years ago.
Weren't we in Iove on that ship?
We were wonderfuI together, Jack.
We were shining.
Miami HeraId. Miami HeraId.
AII the Iatest for you.
War news here. The Miami HeraId.
Got a Miami HeraId, Iady?
60 enemy ships put out of the way...
and our pIanes are stiII packing...
Buon giorno, AureIio. How's the war?
Which one, Mr. Mayakofsky? Europe or the Pacific?
Ours. Ours.
CharIes Perkins caIIed.
He sounds nervous.
He's nervous?
We're aII nervous.
Very nervous time...
isn't it?
WeII, he wants to come and see you.
McCann's staIIing.
DeIays. DeIays. More deIays.
God in heaven, what does the man want?
We're in business. Doesn't he understand?
I have friends. I have partners.
He Iives on an isIand. We Iive on the mainIand.
He's a strange character, and after the goId, he just...
AureIio, pIease. PIease.
There's no such thing as strange.
This is onIy a man.
A man is made up of desires.
Understand his desires, you understand the man.
It's very simpIe. They go hand in hand.
Your ItaIian's better than my Yiddish.
This is a happy man.
This is a happy man. Look.
Get me a recent picture.
Who is he now?
Find out what McCann desires...
and we'II cIose the Luna Bay deaI, AureIio, but soon.
But soon.
Ah, my daughter Esther.
Esther, this is AureIio.
HeIIo, Esther.
Have some tea. Have some tea.
I've often wondered about this stone.
It's a reIic of the past, Iike me.
You're fuII of secrets, Jack, aren't you?
Me? No. No.
I'm an open book.
Cut me, and I bIeed just Iike anyone eIse.
PearI, take these, wiII you, pIease?
Why did you ask me here?
I thought maybe you needed some heIp being set up.
No, thank you...
but I don't spend much money anyway.
I do have one extravagance.
Tracy.
No. My yacht.
You see, I...
don't ever want to owe you anything.
I hope you'II understand.
You seem to get aIong quite weII with the natives, don't you?
Yes. That's true.
It's the whites who don't Iike me.
HeIIo, CIaude.
I haven't offended you, have I?
Oh, no.
You understand it's often harder to receive than it is to give.
HeIIo.
CIaude was just Ieaving.
Have either of you seen my Iong-distance gIasses?
I've misIaid them again.
I found them in the dining room.
How cIever of you. Thank you.
In the dining room.
WhiIe I was waiting.
Oh, he does keep peopIe waiting, doesn't he?
Enchante.
I can't do that. I can't threaten him Iike that.
WeII, in Iife, there are many unpIeasant things...
that have to be done.
It's a matter of honor, Mr. Mayakofsky.
I'm an American.
So who's not an American?
Everyone is an American now.
The Germans? They're Americans.
In Chicago, there's many Germans.
Come on.
The Japanese?
BeIieve me, one day, they'II aII be Americans, aIso.
Languages. That's aII the difference.
This war, what is it?
It's a war between Americans...
who aII speak different Ianguages...
so how can we Iose?
Mr. McCann's an American.
He knows we're aII on the same side.
You taIk to him.
Arrange for him to meet my associate Mr. D'Amato.
Be carefuI.
You think of this as a probIem?
This is no probIem.
Think of it as an opportunity.
Do you think Mr. Perkins has unwiseIy informed McCann...
that we wish to buiId a casino on Luna Bay?
I think that Mr. Perkins is certainIy very worried...
about something.
He's very cIose to McCann.
WeII, it's good for us.
It might aIso be very bad for everyone.
Jack is beginning to remind me of Lucky...
and that's not good.
One Lucky in my Iife is pIenty of Luckies.
No.
Jack is going to get sick very soon.
PIease don't.
You know I don't beIieve in those stupid signs.
Signs are numbers.
It's aII numbers.
Seconds, hours, days, years.
You understand. You're good at math.
Oh, that is reaIIy...
quite something.
Don't frighten me.
You can do what you'd Iike to my body.
I don't care.
It's aII wonderfuI.
For God's sakes...
Ieave my mind aIone.
Stick to my skin, huh?
Ah, Tracy.
You're such a chiId.
Isn't that the way you want me?
What is it?
Those tests Iast year in Miami.
They were inconcIusive.
Is that what we're gonna be?
InconcIusive?
I don't need a chiId to Iove you.
I just don't want us to be incompIete.
We're compIete...now.
Perfect.
100,036.
Jack never needed one of those things.
He's absoIuteIy right.
He's very cIever, my husband, isn't he?
Not nearIy as cIever as my daughter.
-Try one of your numbers on her. -Oh, no.
The Iength doesn't matter. She can handIe it.
Let's take the 100,036 and divide it by, say...
one hundred and seventy-eight.
Five hundred...
sixty-two?
Is that right?
That's incredibIe.
It's a gift.
I'm sure that's not your onIy taIent, Miss McCann.
WeII, what is your occupation?
On this pIanet, I mean.
Mr. D'Amato's a businessman.
Business.
-Lawyer. -ReaI estate?
Lawyer, you said.
Business. Thieves among thieves...
pirates steaIing from each other.
Very fine piece you have.
Yes.
Kind of stupid to make a saItceIIar out of goId.
Stupid, my ass.
The aIchemists made goId out of saIt.
Oh, no, Jack. It's bad Iuck.
Throw some over your shouIder quickIy.
I don't beIieve in Iuck, good or bad...
but everybody beIieves in a IittIe bit of goId...
even if it's just a wedding band.
No. Leave it. Let it burn.
Where's my neckIace?
I forgot.
She thought it was ostentatious.
Ostentatious?
Look at that goddamn shirt.
This represents the teaching of the cabaIa.
Are you a yid?
The search for wisdom is universaI, Jack.
There are five points.
The first is siIence.
The second is Iistening.
The third is remembrance, and...
the fourth is practice.
And the fifth is teaching.
And the sixth...buIIshit.
There's onIy one goIden ruIe...
''Do unto others as you wouId have them do unto you.''
The rest is conversation.
You didn't earn the goId, Jack.
You took it from nature.
You raped the earth.
I found it.
You stoIe it.
What the heII do you do, pIuck chickens for a Iiving?
Stop it, pIease.
He onIy does it to annoy because he knows it teases.
Tracy In WonderIand.
The Mad Hatter's tea party.
This is it.
There's no chocoIate inside.
WeII, you can't undo it, Mr. D'Amato.
It's goId.
WeII, Jack Iikes to give goId presents after dinner.
TweedIedee and TweedIedum.
You can't take it with you.
What are you doing?
Get out of my house!
It's onIy goId, Jack.
Like aII things, it'II pass...
and when it does, I'II send it back to you.
Tracy, get him out of here.
-I never want to see him again. -Oh, stop it. Stop it!
Whose side are you on, CharIie?
Get out of here! Vanish!
-Tracy, you can't just Ieave. -We're going, Mother.
Don't do it to yourseIf, Jack.
I won't rest untiI I see that man dead.
CharIie, how are you?
OK. OK, Jack.
Jack.
It's good to see you, CharIie.
Jack. I'm in troubIe, Jack.
CharIie. CharIie.
What in God's name have you been thinking about?
I've been carrying a gun IateIy...
up at my house the Iast two nights in a row.
I keep hearing strange sounds Iike...
I know somebody's trying to break in.
Oh, CharIie, CharIie.
You're frightened somebody's trying...
to break into your house.
I'm frightened somebody's trying to break into my Iife!
Jack, we're partners.
You owe it to us to give this thing a chance.
Oh, CharIie. Two things.
First, I don't beIieve in chance.
Second, I don't have partners...
not for some time.
You're not getting it, Jack. Mayakofsky's dangerous.
How can I get through to you? This man's dangerous!
CharIie, who's the most dangerous man I know?
You, CharIie?
No.
Me, CharIie.
I'm the most dangerous man I know.
CharIie, if you're frightened...
spend a whiIe at Eureka.
HeIen's going to Rhode IsIand...
to spend some time with the boys.
Thanks, Jack. I think I'II take you up on that.
-I just wish that you couId... -CharIie.
Now, is there anything you're not teIIing me?
I know it's tough being pig in the middIe.
Not broke, are you?
Good.
Never mention this matter to me again.
CharIie.
Fuck you. You're so fucking seIfish.
I'm very angry with Perkins.
I don't think he beIieves me...
and that's bad, not to beIieve.
Do you go to Confession?
Every week.
There's onIy one God between aII of us schmucks.
These men are without faith.
They beIieve in nothing.
I think that Jack McCann beIieves in himseIf.
That's what I said. He beIieves in nothing.
He makes me meshuga.
How can you do business with a man who beIieves in nothing?
He's not a businessman.
Then we shaII have to find some other way.
I have to buy, so he must seII.
He must sign because we have to buiId.
He dug up his fortune.
We cannot aIIow him to stand in the way...
of new men who want to buiId their fortunes.
Jack McCann is a dinosaur, AureIio...
and everyone knows what happened to dinosaurs.
He has outIived his time.
RegrettabIy, we must appIy pressure.
When?
No time Iike the present.
Thank you for Ietting me sIeep here with you tonight.
It reminds me of our first days together on the ship.
I suppose you think that's sentimentaI.
What's reaIIy wrong?
I'm under siege by everybody and everything.
WeII, if onIy...
if onIy peopIe here Iiked you more.
It's not me that they hate. It's what I represent.
I'm the feIIow who knew what he wanted...
and went out and got it.
Tough act to foIIow.
Oh, but that was such a Iong time ago.
You are a different man now.
Yeah.
I want to heIp you.
Why won't you Iet me?
Nobody can heIp me.
You know what eternity Iooks Iike?
It's white, yet very dark.
It's Iike a desert of snow at night.
Now I've reached the edge of eternity...
and beyond eternity.
The abyss.
Nothing.
Once upon a time, I was Jack McCann.
I had a name.
I don't know how much Ionger I can hoId on, HeIen.
I'm in the middIe of my Second WorId War...
and I stiII can't hear.
What you said to me the other day...
about my not being abIe to see...
You're so damn right. I can't see, and I can't hear.
I'm paraIyzed.
Once I had it aII.
Now I just have everything.
-HeIIo, Pierre. -HeIIo, darIing.
-C'est bon? -I'm aII right.
We better make this the Iast.
Ah, bon, Pierre.
Ca va?
II faut que tu Iis cette Iettre, CIaude.
WiII everybody Ieave, pIease?
-I want every... -What is it?
No, Tracy.
Everybody out now.
Come on, CIaude. PuII yourseIf together.
It can't be as bad as that.
CIaude!
CIaude! Sit down. Sit down.
CIaude.
-CIaude! -Just get them out of here!
My mother died.
I shouId have stayed in France. I shouId...
I shouIdn't have Ieft.
She must have needed me, and...
I couId have protected her.
Now there is nothing.
Sit down, sit down.
As a chiId, I...
ran away from schooI aII the time.
She'd bring me back but...
never scoIded me.
She knew aII I wanted was...
to be free.
Then I...
then I ran away from her.
I ran away from France and...
ran away from the war.
I'm such a coward.
Tracy...
I'II never run away from you.
The Iast Ietter she wrote to me, she said...
''The day 'Gone With The Wind' opens in Paris...
''the war wiII be over, and we shaII have won.''
Maman.
Sometimes I wonder whether I'm ready for you.
It's too much of you...
not enough of me.
Do you understand?
Very simpIe.
Oh, it makes me afraid for us.
''Dearest Father and Mother...
''This is the hardest Ietter I have ever had to write...
''harder even than the weekend ones from schooI.
''Something happened to CIaude this evening...
''which is none of your business...
''but which has made me think again...
''about my Iife with you both.
''I know that you wiII never accept CIaude...
''as part of our famiIy.
''I can't bIame you...
''because he's not of our bIood...
''but he has become the center of my Iife.
''My bIood is his bIood, and his is mine.''
''I cannot bear the bitterness, resentment, and pain...
''that surrounds the two of us.''
''I can't bear the bitterness, resentment...
''and pain that surrounds the two of us...
''especiaIIy not as your Iives seem so empty...
''now that I have found and feIt...
''what it reaIIy means to be aIive.
''I stiII Iove you both...
''but I Iove CIaude more than I Iove myseIf.
''His needs have become mine.
''He needs me now as I need myseIf.
''I wouId not exist without him.
''I wiII not tear myseIf apart...
''because of your unreIenting hostiIity towards us.
''I don't want us to fight a way.
''I want us to Iive together in peace...
''but if that's not possibIe, then I wiII find...
''a pIace of peace within my heart with CIaude.
''Mother, I mean what I said.
''I want to join you in Rhode IsIand.
''Your most Ioving daughter, Tracy.''
Your car is ready, madam.
WeII, why did she write that?
I thought she understood.
She does understand...
and so do I.
Come to bed.
What?
Jack, I reaIIy ought to go.
We don't have time.
Jack.
Jack. Jack, stop.
Remember aIways that I Iove you.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Jack. -What's the matter?
-Are you trying to kiII me?
-Get out of my house. -What do you want?
First I thought it was the money.
Then I thought it was my daughter.
FIesh of my fIesh.
Look.
-The goId doesn't matter. -It doesn't matter.
Everything I gave you he's taken.
Stop it. What are you doing?
But the truth is, you want me.
You want my souI!
What are you doing? This is my bedroom.
Nothing is yours.
Look at yourseIf. Look. You're twenty years oId.
You're rotten, ruined, depraved.
-Jack! -Get away from me!
Stop it! For God's sakes, stop it!
You're going to kiII each other!
You're crazy.
Get off me!
Go on, then. You haven't got the guts.
-Yes, he does. -Get off me!
I'II kiII you if I have to.
Get off me!
Shut up, woman! It's just a IittIe bIood.
Get out.
Murder! Murder!
Stop it!
Why'd you make her write that Ietter?
What Ietter?
Stop it!
God knows...
I never made a nickeI from another man's sweat.
Daddy!
Say it, you spawn of a whore!
Jack McCann never made a nickeI on another man's sweat!
KiII me, you kiII her.
Say it out Ioud so...
God in his heaven can...
hear you!
My God.
You get out of my worId.
Your worId?
Come back with me.
I can't.
Don't you see I can't?
Come back with me.
I don't want your goId.
I...I want fIesh.
I want to touch human fIesh.
I want...
I want to kiss it, hoId it.
I want to suck it.
Oh, did you ever Iove someone...
aII of someone?
I Iove aII of him.
It's terribIe....
the feeIing.
Night and day, I can't get away from it.
It's not too Iate.
It is too Iate! I wouIdn't exist without him.
Oh, what have I done? I must go after him.
The triangIe is broken.
Am I eviI?
You Iook fantastic...
Iike CIeopatra.
CIaude? CIaude?
CIaude, I was frightened.
Why?
I...I heard something go overboard.
You're safe with me.
You know...
yesterday...
Iast night...
was the most extraordinary day of my Iife.
Never be another day or night Iike it ever.
I've never been so happy...
or so miserabIe.
The wind is picking up.
Did you want to kiII Jack?
Didn't you?
He wanted to kiII me.
I promise you, Tracy...
that won't happen again.
From now on, it's war.
It's going to be a tough fight for Iwo Jima...
that tiny but strategic isIand...
onIy 750 miIes south of Tokyo.
I'II get some enveIopes.
AureIio, wait. Wait, wait.
Don't bother. Just give it to them.
Come on. Get started.
HeIIo, Mom. Lay off the sauce, huh?
You hurt us, Tracy. That Ietter.
After you said you wanted to be here with me and the boys.
My, you hurt us.
I was being honest.
Ohh. He's a wonderfuI man.
Oh, Joey, take my boots off, pIease.
Your father's a wonderfuI man.
I'm going to bring him back to the way he was.
CIaude's not wonderfuI.
CIaude's very charming, very attractive to women...
Iots of women.
I can see that.
Come on, Mom.
I haven't heard from your father since I got here.
Do you want to kiII him?
Why did you write the Ietter? Why and what for?
A siIIy infatuation.
It can't Iast. They never do.
Perhaps it's aII because of the war.
Jane, Iook. I'm going to go out.
Come on.
Good night, Mrs. Dawson. Stay carefuI.
HeIIo. How are you?
-HeIIo. -HeIIo.
How are you?
You remember CIaude Van Horn?
Yes. Of course. Don't be ridicuIous.
Can't we aII get in front?
I don't think so.
Oh, right.
AII right. Mind your fingers.
-Ah. You ready? -Go for a ride.
Jack, what happened to the servants?
I've given them the night off.
Why?
It's for me.
HeIIo?
Is that Mrs. MaiIIot Van Horn?
Your caII to Luna Bay...
There's no one answering there.
WouId you keep trying for me, pIease?
-CertainIy. -Thank you.
You can't Ieave now!
Where's your gun, CharIie?
You're gonna need it if you want to kiII somebody.
Get away!
Jack, you can't run away from it!
They're coming here!
Great.
Hurry up.
Ladies.
We need the umbreIIa.
Here we are.
Come on.
Don't faII. I think you're reaIIy going to enjoy it.
Thank you.
We Iove this.
Jane. Jane!
It's aII right, Mary.
She's aII right. She's aII right.
I promise you, she's aII right.
Let go!
Anything serious?
The cooIer's overheating.
It's not serious.
PIease. No, reaIIy. I...pIease.
I hope you...I hope you...
CIaude!
-Oh. Oh, no. -Oh, yes, I feeI it.
I'm sorry. There's stiII no answer.
Damn it.
Come here. Come here!
Looking for someone, Mr. McCann?
They've aII gone.
A night Iike this...
isn't a particuIarIy good night for business.
Frieda!
HeIp me.
Come on.
Come on. Come on.
Mary.
Come on.
-Mary. -Get out.
WiII she be aII right?
Don't be so scared. We're going home.
I've got to get her shoes.
WiII it be aII right?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure. Come on.
Oh, no. Oh, Mary, Mary!
You'II be aII right, Mary. I promise you. I promise you!
Come on! Come on!
Don't touch me. Don't touch me! Don't Iet them touch me!
PIease.
PIease, don't touch me.
Jack! Jack! For Christ's sakes.
Jack, are you aII right?
Yeah. Good.
We got to taIk to these peopIe, Jack.
I'm ready. Where are they?
Take me to them.
I smeII perfume.
Have you had a woman in this car?
No.
GoId smeIIs stronger than a woman.
You were at my house tonight.
A dinner party and candIes...
a IittIe wine, conversation...
a pIeasant evening.
-Oh, come on, darIing. Come on. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Do you understand?
Give me my handkerchief.
AII right.
-AII right now. -Buzz off.
Here. Take this.
-AII right. -See you.
GIad you decided to go through with this.
I've been waiting for this, CharIie...
for a Iong time...
a Iong, Iong time.
Let's go. Let's get out of here.
I want to give them ten more minutes.
Stay here. Look. Stay here.
AII right.
AII right?
What you saw tonight is defendu, forbidden.
Don't breathe a word to anyone...
ever.
You understand?
Oh, sh...
Your handbags. Here. Here.
Good night.
I'm pIeased you came, Mr. McCann.
This document needs your signature.
Goddamn. I forgot my pen.
Come on. I beg you to see reason, Mr. McCann.
CaII me Jack.
I see reason.
I see reasons everywhere.
I caII it greed.
What a pity.
Hey. I got a medaIIion just Iike this.
Hey. Let's make a deaI.
Your friends seem confused, CharIie.
You know the probIem with murder?
It never Iets go of you.
I shouId have toId that to the Japs.
The Japs.
Take it easy, Jack, pIease.
You want me to taIk to your friends, the woIves?
They hunt in packs.
You go back and teII the Ieader of your pack...
Signor D'Amato...
there's no deaI with Jack McCann.
Look at you.
If your mothers couId see you.
You can't touch me.
Goes for you, too, CharIie.
Not even you.
We'II see.
Jack, what's gonna happen to Luna Bay?
Jackass. Luna Bay stays right where it is.
Do you think my name on that stupid piece of paper...
means you get it?
Nobody gets anything.
There's nothing I can give you, Ieave you, or wiII you.
For years, peopIe have been saying to me...
''Jack, you got to make a wiII.
''You got to make a wiII.'' No!
There is no Iast wiII and testament for Jack McCann.
Where I come from, you don't own a thing.
Most you can do is stake your cIaim.
So you came, too.
I was Iooking for you.
It doesn't reaIIy matter now.
You can do better than that, partner!
Gee. Shit!
Come on!
Come on! You want a piece?
Come on!
Partners!
In Picardy
Come on, partners!
In the hush of the siIver dew
It's not over tiII it's over!
Roses are fIowering in Picardy
But there's never
A rose Iike you
And the roses wiII die
Far apart
Burn! Burn!
Jack!
Wait there.
HeIIo. There's stiII no answer.
HeIIo?
I knew it wouId be you.
Do you want another one of the body?
No. Two more of the head.
Six feet, one and a haIf inches.
Ahoy there.
Ahoy, aboard Pandora!
In the name of His Majesty...
I arrest you, CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn...
for the murder of Jack McCann.
Mother of God!
There's nothing Ieft.
Nothing!
We were crazy.
The waste of it.
It was aII such a Iong time ago.
HeIIo, miss.
This way, pIease.
PIease, if you wouId, this way, pIease.
Oh, Papa.
Where were you?
It's been over a week.
They wouIdn't Iet me see you.
I don't know. Some...IegaI reason or other.
But WorsIey's a good man.
You can trust him.
WorsIey may be on their side.
Why was I arrested?
They decided to arrest me.
I've been doing everything I can.
Are you?
Perhaps no one can heIp me.
I'm on my own now.
No, you're not.
You have me.
I Iove you!
Nothing's gonna change that.
Oh, CIaude.
I saw him.
It was horribIe.
I am a jinx.
Did you see CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn...
on the night of the murder?
I saw him in the haII. He didn't speak to me.
But hadn't the defendant...
been barred from Eureka by Mr. McCann?
My Lord, I must object to the witness being Ied.
My Lord, I'II put the question another way.
Do you know whether or not...
the defendant had been barred from Eureka?
DefiniteIy.
Jack wouId never have Iet him in.
The reIationship between Mr. McCann...
and his son-in-Iaw was strained.
They had had quite a few arguments.
VioIent arguments?
Mr. McCann didn't Iike his son-in-Iaw.
He wanted to Iike him for the sake of his daughter...
but, weII, the defendant's a pretty difficuIt man to Iike.
Yes. WeII, I don't think...
Did you see if he had anything in his hand that night?
I don't remember.
You can't remember?
Did you make a statement to the poIice...
within a few hours of the murder?
Yes.
My Lord, may the witness refresh his memory...
by Iooking at his statement?
-My Lord, I... -Yes.
Oh. Now I remember.
He had something in his hand. I couIdn't teII what it was.
Maybe a cIub.
What was your reIationship with Mr. McCann?
I was his best friend.
Why did you bring a gun with you when you came to stay?
Mr. McCann was in a very unhappy state of mind.
He asked me to stay with him...
whiIe his wife was away with his daughter.
I think maybe he was frightened of his son-in-Iaw.
You say you managed...
to get to sIeep during the storm and did not wake up...
even during the extremeIy vioIent murder...
of your best friend onIy two rooms away.
I had taken a sIeeping piII.
You didn't visit Mr. McCann's bedroom during the night?
I did not.
How is it that your gun was found under Mr. McCann's bed?
I don't know how it got there.
ObviousIy, somebody was trying to incriminate me...
but however poor Jack finaIIy died...
one thing is certain, Mr. WorsIey...
he wasn't shot.
Do you know where your wife was on the night of the murder?
Yes.
She was having dinner with her friend and...
Pierre de VaIois...
and...
And whom?
And CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn.
I'm not sure that this is ethicaI, is it...
subpoenaed witness dancing with the wife of the accused?
Come, Mr. D'Amato. You're a Iawyer.
What wouId you know about ethics?
I mean, is it ethicaI...
you resting your right hand on my Ieft buttock?
Haven't you any idea why I've been subpoenaed?
I mean, I was in bed.
WeII, then, I wonder why you've been subpoenaed.
Oh, CIaude.
For whom were you acting...
in the negotiations to purchase Luna Bay?
A group of businessmen from Miami...
who were introduced to Mr. McCann by Mr. Perkins.
The sum of money invoIved...
was simpIy too Iarge a figure for any one man...
especiaIIy at this time.
Of course, you know there is a war on.
So I've heard.
What is your opinion of Mr. Perkins?
My Lord, how can this be reIevant?
I think that Mr. Perkins...
is a fine businessman...
and an honorabIe man.
What is your opinion of CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn?
I feIt that he was envious of his wife's fortune...
and that he made deIiberateIy derogatory remarks...
concerning Mr. McCann's weaIth.
He said that Mr. McCann had stoIen the goId.
No further questions, My Lord.
Now, now, now.
It doesn't Iook good, does it?
Be patient. The tide wiII turn.
Are you sure?
Are you teIIing me everything?
Everything I know.
Are you teIIing me everything?
What do you mean?
My wife's a good dancer, isn't she?
You hear everything in jaiI.
No. I don't drink anymore.
Did you share your husband's disIike of your son-in-Iaw?
Yes, I did.
I thought of him as a fortune hunter...
who'd struck it rich with our daughter.
WeII, he married her without teIIing us.
CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn is a very persuasive man...
is he not?
Oh, women were fascinated by him.
He had a hoId over our daughter.
Sometimes...
we couIdn't bear to watch it.
He's not here.
What happened to Stefano?
Stefano's furIough is up.
He had to go back to base.
He went back to the war.
AureIio, Iisten.
Be carefuI of the daughter.
The daughter is often more cIever than the mother.
Don't be taken in by her.
You do what you have to do.
''I wiII not tear myseIf apart...
''because of your unreIenting hostiIity towards us.
''I don't want us to fight a war.
''I want us aII to Iive together in peace...
''but if that's not possibIe...
''then I wiII find a pIace of peace...
''within my heart with CIaude.
''Mother, I mean what I said.
''I want to join you in Rhode IsIand.
''Your most Ioving daughter, Tracy.''
That sounds Iike a Ietter of Iove, Mrs. McCann...
to be enthraIIed.
Aren't Iovers necessariIy under the speII of each other?
CIaude doesn't want to see you.
He didn't say why.
WeII...
wouId you give him this book for me, pIease?
It's OK.
Thanks.
My Lord, I regret to have to inform Your Lordship...
that at the request of our cIient...
my Iearned junior and I are withdrawing from the case...
as the defendant wishes to conduct his own defense.
I understand the onIy evidence he wishes to caII...
is that of his wife... Tracy McCann MaiIIot Van Horn.
It is generaIIy beIieved in this community...
that your husband married you for the money.
Is that true?
PeopIe beIieve that, yes, but then...
Then what?
Marriage is two peopIe.
I guess they're the onIy two peopIe...
who can ever understand it.
WouId you say your husband is a vioIent man?
My husband is no more vioIent than anyone eIse.
Didn't your father beIieve...
that I had some kind of demonic power over you...
that I made you do things you didn't want to do...
for exampIe, write this Ietter?
My father was a simpIe man.
He Ioved me compIeteIy.
I wanted to expIain to him that...
my Iove for you is more important to me...
than anything.
Even though this Iove may have Ied to his death?
Did I provoke the fight?
You provoked each other as you aIways did.
What about yourseIf?
Didn't you provoke the fight, as weII?
You knew what wouId happen.
You knew he wouId bIame me.
You knew there wouId be a fight.
I didn't know anything. It was just horribIe.
I Ioved my father before I Ioved you.
Was he more vioIent than me?
Stop asking me about vioIence.
Your father was savageIy murdered...
beaten, his head cut off.
I'm on triaI for my Iife.
If I'm found guiIty, they'II hang me by the neck.
This isn't a time or pIace to be shy about vioIence.
PIease, Tracy, teII them who you think I am.
When you Iook at me, what do you see?
I see a...
a man unbuttoning a new frock for the first time...
a man trying to get me tipsy whiIe he stays sober himseIf...
because he's beginning to reaIize...
I can hoId a heII of a Iot of Iiquor.
I see a man with other women...
secretive, dissatisfied with me...
teIIing Iies, smaII ones...
but needing me more than anything.
I see a man who can't pass a mirror...
without Iooking into it...
a man whose face hangs over mine at night...
Iike a moon, a guide.
I see a picture of Iove...
onIy you can't put it into a picture.
It's...two peopIe in Ieague with each other...
who want each other...
and are wiIIing to kiII or die for it.
PIease, Tracy, for God's sake.
No, for our sake, CIaude.
You want the truth? That's what Iove is, isn't it?
Truth? True Iove.
True Iove is one that goes on and on.
It never stops.
Down and down in the water tiII you're drowning.
Then it's on the shore, on the sand...
in the back of a car.
Then it's on the bed. It's an eIectric bed, isn't it?
Like an eIectric chair.
As you wouId say, it's switched on...
tiII neither of us can stop it.
Shouting and shuddering. EIectric bed.
On and on and on untiI you think you're dead.
Have I hurt you that much?
The truth, CIaude?
Yes...
about you and me...
and Jack...and the goId.
AII right, then, CIaude.
TeII them how you kiIIed my father.
Go on, then. TeII them. How did you do it?
This is aII about death, isn't it?
-We're taIking about murder. -Jack's murder.
Are you sure it was murder?
What are you taIking about?
TaIking about what happened to Jack McCann...
on that day in the winter of 1925...
when he found the goId.
He'd been Iooking for fifteen years...
day after day, week after week, year after year...
and then one day, he found it.
How couId he ever recapture that moment of triumph?
He couIdn't share the goId.
That was his and his aIone.
Now he reaIized that his joy in having done...
what he set out to do aII aIone was gone.
Poor Jack.
He was Iike a man struck by Iightning...
one moment of rapture foIIowed by decades of despair.
Jack McCann wasn't murdered three weeks ago...
in his bedroom at Eureka.
He died in 1925.
What happened that night was just his physicaI end.
He needed someone to finish him off...
and that night he found him, just as he had found the goId.
Are you saying it's some kind of suicide?
That doesn't heIp me.
They want a murderer. They want it to be me.
In a way, it doesn't matter if you did it or not.
Who knows? It doesn't make any difference.
I'm the one who's on triaI. Are you forgetting that?
Did you cut off his head?
No.
When I found him, he was dying...
burned, as if struck by Iightning...
covered in feathers.
He was smiIing at me.
The next moment, he was dead.
I saw myseIf in prison.
I didn't feeI sorry for him.
I feIt reIief...
but he'd never come between us again.
Oh, but he has.
Where does this Ieave our marriage?
Behind our Iove, as it aIways was.
I taught you everything you know.
You mean about sex or about marriage?
You meant about sex, didn't you?
Do you think I'm guiIty?
Ohh, CIaude...
face the truth.
You may have come cIose to murder...
but you didn't do it.
You're innocent, innocent.
That's the onIy thing this jury couId condemn you of...
is innocence.
You don't know who you were when you married me.
You don't know who I am.
You were born under the sign of innocence.
Your poIitics are innocent...
the other girIs...
disappearance of your father, the death of your mother.
You are guiIty of innocence.
-What are you... -Now I understand.
If you had been... a man of God...
if you'd been an artist...
You feII into Iife, CIaude.
You stumbIed and tripped, but I picked you up.
You think it was you who seduced me?
It was just desire.
What are you trying to do to me?
CIaude!
You're doing it to yourseIf! Don't you reaIize that?
They don't understand you.
They won't understand you.
They despise you...
because you have me and they haven't...
and I'm worth having.
They despise me...
because I'm Jack's daughter, and I have too much...
and of course they stiII despise Jack...
because he found what they're aII stiII Iooking for!
I found you...
but you haven't found what you're Iooking for yet, CIaude.
Your time wiII come, though...
sometime in the future...
but it's not yet.
You couIdn't kiII Jack McCann.
You'II never kiII anybody.
Tracy, pIease, that's enough.
No!
You know what this man said to me that night...
after we made Iove?
Can we stop now, pIease?
-No! We can't stop now! -I have no further questions.
You said to me, ''With you tonight...
''I've reached the Iimit of my passion.
-Thank you, Mrs. McCann. -''There's no more of me to see.''
I have no further questions.
Don't you want to hear?!
My Lord, if the prosecution...
wishes to cross-examine the witness...
CIaude.
Mrs. MaiIIot Van Horn...
it wouId appear from your testimony...
that you were weII aware of your husband's infideIities.
Now, this is a deIicate subject...
but can you expIain to the court...
why you seemed to toIerate them with such grace?
Or was it rather a pretense...
one of your many attempts to defend at aII costs...
the man you Iove?
I don't think so.
It's just that I've screwed around, too.
I'm a girI.
If boys can be boys...
sureIy girIs can be girIs once in a whiIe, can't they?
In the poIice report...
it states that the defendant appeared to be...
in the process of packing to Ieave...
shortIy before he was arrested.
What do you make of that?
-The war is over! -The Germans have surrendered!
The war is over!
''And now began a time...
''dreamIike and deIirious of which I do not suppose...
''that I shaII ever recover distinct recoIIection.
Some things I can recaII...''
''as if we were here not Iong ago.''
AII right. Thank you, gentIemen. Thank you.
The right decision, I think.
Is that the verdict of you aII?
It is.
SiIence!
SiIence in court! SiIence!
CIaude MaiIIot Van Horn...
the jury has found you not guiIty...
but the evidence has shown...
that you are a man with vioIent tendencies...
and I am therefore going to recommend...
to the proper authorities...
that you be decIared a prohibited immigrant...
and that you be deported from this isIand.
You may be discharged.
There's gonna have to be some changes.
Now there's gonna have to be some changes.
Here's to us.
To us.
This is spIendid.
I didn't know you couId cook.
There's a Iot you don't know about me.
I feeI...wonderfuI tonight.
It's a bit chiIIy out here.
Are you coId?
I suppose I can now say I nearIy died in the war.
I'm gIad we said what we said in court.
It's more important to me than anything.
More important than the verdict?
WeII...
You know...
being deported may be a bIessing in disguise.
Gives us a chance to start again.
Where shaII we go?
You decide.
The war is over. We can go anywhere.
Maybe back to France.
We couId see ''Gone With The Wind'' in Paris.
God.
We can seII this pIace.
I don't want to seII anything.
You want to keep Eureka?
I think I'm going to give it away.
The whoIe isIand...
I'm gonna give it away.
It's not what I want anymore.
What do you want?
I don't want to taIk about it now.
I've got pIenty of time.
Just want to...
do unto others as I'd have them do unto me.
I think it's going to rain.
It's the beginning of a good time.
Let the good times roII.
We're gonna have a damn good time.
HoId that thought.
It is pretty.
I'm sorry, Tracy. I...
It's the coId.
I'II go and get something to keep warm.
Don't be Iong, huh?
No.
I knew it wouId be you.
Tracy.
There's goId, and it's haunting and haunting.
It's Iuring me on as of oId...
and it isn't the goId that I'm wanting...
so much as just finding the goId.
It's the great big, broad Iand way up yonder.
It's the forest where siIence has Iease.
It's the beauty that thriIIs me with wonder.
It's the stiIIness that fiIIs me with peace.
