# I don 't know where I'm goin '#
# Lord, I don 't know what I'm gonna do #
# My fuel supply is finished#

# But I don 't know which way to turn #
# I know I don 't have much ofa choice #
# I'll go out ofmy mind#
# Or into the night #
# I'm rollin'and tumblin'#
# Spinnin'end over end#
# Got to have some peace and quiet #
# So I can find myselfagain #
# Still ifyou ask me what's the matter #
# Ijust don't know what to say #
# There's people all around me but I feel so alone #
# I guess they'd like to help me #
# But I have to do it on my own #
# I know I don't have much ofa choice #
# I'll go out ofmy mind#

What did you say?
Do you want me to make you some coffee?
No. No, thanks.
Aren't you hungry?
Oh, yeah, sure.
What's the matter, Ed? Why aren't you sleeping?
{ Sighs } I don't know.
Well, what can I do?
Just love me, okay? [ CarHorn Honks ]
Oh, that's Stan.
What is it? Am I doing something wrong?
- No, of course not. - Well, what is it?
I don't know. [Horn Honking]
Oh, we better go. Herb's probably going berserk by now.

[Announcer #4 ] This is the Dave Hull program on KRLA,
but we are gonna interrupt the show now for this special announce--
{ T urns Off Radio } Don't you want to hear what happened?
No, not really.
If it's important, I guess they'll let us know anyway.
Ah, a smilel Okay, now we're gettin'somewhere.
All right, Mr. No-Sleep, I have something foryou.
What's three miles long and has an I.Q of 1 65?
A Saint Patrick's Day parade.
Actually, it's a Cinco de Mayo parade.
I can't sleep anymore, Herb. Areyou gonna be all right?
I don't wantyou nodding off at the wheel. No, no, I'm fine.
We can switch. I'm fine. I'm okay.
{ Sighs } I don't know. I don't know.
Myjob is a dead end.
I feel weird, like I'm from another planet or something.
Ellen kissedme on the top ofmyhead this morning andsaid, "Have a nice day. "
- Can you believe that? - What's wrong with that?
Bank tellers say, "Have a nice day."
The cashier at the supermarket says, "Have a nice day."
I just think that somehow yourwife should say something better than, "Have a nice day."
You're losing your mind, Ed. How long haveyou had insomnia?
My last good night's sleep? Yeah, the full eight hours.
Seems like... 1 980. Yeah, the summer of 1 980. { Chuckles }
[Herb] You're in bed. You can'tsleep. I don'tsee the problem.
You go to the airport, catch the midnight flight to Las Vegas.
Nobody sleeps there. Very funny, Herb.
No, listen, I'm serious. You need some action. I'm not a gambler.
Don't gamble. Have a few drinks. See a show.
Get loose. Get laid. Oh, wonderful.
I'm sure Ellen would love it. You'll be home before she wakes up.
Sex isn't the problem.
When was the last time you fucked yourwife? You're a classy guy, Herb.
Up in Vegas, there's a beautiful, young girl named Melissa.
She will do anything you want for $200 an hour. Two hundred dollars?
Anything you want. Anything. For example?
Ifyou want, she'll dress up like Santa Claus.
Would she bring me a pony? You're having trouble with this concept.
I'm talking about the universe ofinfinite possibility. No such thing.
The only limits are money and imagination.
Sorry. I'm a little short on both.
Hello, Fielding. { Indistinct Greeting }

{ Groaning } Scanners seem to check out.
Yeah, but that's on the uplink. The problem is downlink.
Ed, haveyou got the signal-to-noise ratio on the downlink?
Ed?
Yeah?
- Haveyou got it? - What's that?
Yep, we're having synchronization problems.
I need the signal-to-noise ratio on the downlink.
Signal-to-noise. Right. Um, mm-hmm.
Right. I've got it here. [Flipping Pages ]
I was just, uh--
Uh... signal-to-noise, signal-to-noise.
Signal-to-noise: 5.3 db. [Engineer] Five point three?
What modulation scheme?
- Uh, B.P.s.k. - "B.P.s.k."?
Isn't that correct?
we switched to Q.P.s.K. two weeks ago.
QP.s.k.?
It was incredible. I can't tell you how I felt.
[Engineer] I wish I'dseen it. The whole place was excited.
I couldn't talk mywife out of going to the orchid show. Everyone was there.
[Lunch Chatter Overlapping]
- Ifyou missed it, you can see it on cable. - His family was there.
Listen, I'm gonna go home and try to take a nap.
If I don't come back, can you get another ride?
Sure. Absolutely. Go home and get some sleep.
Yes.

You're all I've got. Well, that's hard to believe.
You're tellin' me.
Ifyou want any more help from me, I wanna know what's going on.
You wanna know what's going on? Yes.
All right. Have a seat.
Okay.
They killed him.
- killed who? - Hasi.
"Hasi"?
In the parking lot. I-- I was with him.
He was waiting for me. The stones were his.
- We have to get the police. - No, I can't. I smuggled them in.
- What stones? - Six perfect emeralds.
They're priceless.
They killed this guy for six emeralds?
How'd you get involved in all this?
The stones are from the scepter of an ancient Persian king.
Rememberwhen the Shah fell and the royal family fled Iran?
The treasurywas looted. Somebody got awaywith a good part ofthe crown jewels.
Hasi was "somebody's" cousin.
Um... he was gonna give me $25,000.
So I went to Zurich. I went to a vault.
Everything went fine. He met me at the airport.
- Who killed Hasi? - Theywanted the stones.
Ifl lose the stones, I'm dead for sure.
{ Sighs } The police can't help me.
I'm one ofthe bad guys.
Whowere those men chasing you at the airport?
I don't know. I've got to make some kind of deal with them.
- With who? - That's what I have to find out.
I know they're all Iranians or Persians or something. I--
Ifthey're on visas, they don't want trouble.
Well, this is kind of outside my field. Oh, Christ.
I can't get ahold ofJack. He would help me.
- Who's Jack? - He's a friend of mine.
- Is he involved in this? -Jack? No!
Jack doesn't need any more money.
I guess he doesn't need me anymore either.
{ Clears Throat }
Maybe ifyou explained to the police thatyou were doing a job--
{ Laughing } That I'm a smuggler? No.
{ Stammering } Okay, so now what?
I know someone else who could help me.
Would you help me get to him?
{ Sighs }
It's my onlyway out ofthis.
No.
You did it before at the airport.
I'm not sure what I did at the airport.
You saved my life.
They don't know whoyou are. Right now they don't know where I am.
Just staywith me for a little while longer.
How doyou know you can trust me?
Because I know men.
No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What am I doing here? This is insane.
I'd do it myself, but I don't know who's there.
I promise I won't ask anything else.

Is my husband giving you any trouble, Officers?
Diana, this guy put a gun in my mouth.

The stones are safe. It's all right.

Well, okay.
Good luck.
Oh, Ed, I don't know what to say.

You're right. I feel better.
I think I'll need two.
What are we gonna do?
Go to the police.
Thankyou.
And tell them what?
How would you explain whatyou were doing up in Hamid's penthouse?
I was worried aboutyou.
Some woman who jumps intoyour car at the airport?
That's the truth.
Well, the truth will put me in jail.
We should try to seeJack. Jack Caper?
Yes, the one with the boat. The onewith thewife?
He's a very rich man.
I was his mistress.
I, um, I was modeling and, uh,
t-trying to, you know, make it as an actress.
Mostly, I hung out a lot.
I-I metJack at a party.
we went to Europe together forfun, anditjust sort ofevolved.
He gave me an apartment in Westwood, and, um,
credit cards, my Porsche.
It was easy. It was nice.
- How long? - Five years.
Five years? You must have been 1 6.
I'm not as young as I look.
About six months ago, I get this call from his lawyer.
I had to move out. My credit cards were canceled.
He let me keep the Porsche.
- What happened? - I don't know.
He won't talk to me.
What aboutyou? What doyou do?
I work for Communtronics. A recording studio?
I'm an aerospace engineer.
Really? Mm-hmm.
That sounds fascinating. Does it really?
Well, yeah, sort of.
What wereyou doing at the airport?
- It's kind ofhard to explain. - Try me.
I can't sleep.
Soyou went to the airport?
My life isn't working out somehow.
Soyou went to the airport?
Mywife is unfaithful to me.
Oh. Yourwife's having an affair.

- [Engine Starts ] - { Tires Squealing }

a nice time in America?
{ Sighs } I know it's here somewhere. "Somewhere"?
Yeah, I had to use it once. I ruined a silk blouse.
Must have been awful foryou.
There it is.
The only thing I can't handle is snakes.
At this point, a snake would be reassuring.
Now what?
Well-- Well...
the grounds are crawlin' with servants during the day.
We wait here till dark.
You're kidding. It's only noon.
Mmm.
Ah.
Tryto rest. Get some sleep.
Sleep here? Diana--
I'm gonna try to grab a nap.
Diana?
{ Muffled Screaming }
You scared the shit outta me. It's dark.
I've been watching you sleep for nine hours. Can we go now?
Oh, boy, I really conked out. Yes, you did.

Maybe it did once.
[ Gate Clanks ]
You must be stronger than you look.
Jack?
What's happened to you? They say my blood's gone bad on me.
I'm buying it bythe case like champagne.
Are you, uh, in pain or--
I can't even get any interesting drugs.
It's good to see you, Peach.
I couldn't figure out what Joan was doing here. I had no idea.
Afteryears of compulsive spending, she's finally...
taking an interest in estate planning.
{ Chuckles }
Did she tell you I called? When?
{ Laughs } When?
Jack, I've been trying to get ahold ofyou for six months.
It's Joan.
That bitch. She's very thorough.
Who's this?
[Diana ] Oh, um, Ed Okin.
I got myself into trouble, and he's the only one I've been able to count on.
[Sliding Door Opens ]
What is this? [Jack] It's an orgy.
You're trespassing. Get them out.
Iftheywon't leave, call the police! Larry, disregard that.
- You are endangering his life! - Get her out, Larry.
Whoeveryou are, or thinkyou are,
there have been a dozen just like you.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come here.
You better hurry and tell me the problem.
Hasi's dead. Hasi's dead?
Yeah. Hamid too. How?
Hasi sent me to Zurich to get some stones out ofa safety box.
Theywere left to him and--
He needed money in a hurry, and he used you to get 'em into the country.
That little shit. People have been trying to kill me too.
Yeah, Larry told me about the men in the boat. Must be Shaheen.
Hasi's aunt? Did you ever meet her?
Hard as nails.
She's got a deal in escrow.
Major development downtown.
Escrow closes in a week, andshe's gotta come up with a bundle.
She called me for a short-term loan, a big one,
but, uh, I didn't need the headache.
She mentioned that she might take Hasi in as a partner,
if he could raise enough cash.
She had to know about the stones.
Wait a minute. This is all about a real estate deal?
- She can have them. I'll keep my mouth shut. - A real estate deal?
Honey, you know enough to get 'em locked up or deported.
Mywife sells real estate. Not to mention blackmail and murder.
It's not just the stones anymore.
You're gonna have to negotiate with Shaheen. Negotiate?
Offer to sell her the stones. She'll understand that.
- What about the Frenchman? - What Frenchman?
Someone else who wants to kill us.
Well, whoever he is, he can't possibly be as dangerous as Shaheen.
- What do we do? - Go around by my office. The number's on the Rolodex.
- Shaheen Parvizi. - Parvizi, right.
I'll just wait outside. Okay.
You get out ofthe country and start again.
This'll probably be the best thing that ever happened toyou, Peach.
I thoughtyou hated me.
{ Sniffling } Bye. I'll miss you.
Take care, Peach. I will.
{ Laughs } Can we borrow a car?
Mr. Caper said take any caryou want.
This is nice. The keys are inside.
Be careful, huh?

[Dogs Barking]
[Barking Continues ]
I'm not armed.
Those are not foryou.
Are they for me?
{ Iranian }
But only three. For good faith.
- Whose good faith? - Yours and mine.
- Where are the other three? - Diana's hiding them as we speak.
- Where? - I don't know. - I should believe that?
Can I helpyou?
Wherever they are right now, it'll be somewhere where they can be discovered by anyone...
or destroyed, so we don't have much time.
Doyou have the money?
At this bulk, Miss Bailey, I can giveyou a very good price.
Whatever it costs. You only get married once.
Onlywhen she's sure about her safety, she'll call.
She'll tell you where they can be found. You'll never hear from her again.
Then you wait for the call with me as long as it takes.
No, she makes the call when we're reunited, when I'm safe too.
{ Chuckles } You expect me to believe you won't take the other half?
Good faith. We could've taken them all.
How doyou know she has not already run away,
Ieft you behind with me?
I don't. It's a risk we'll both have to take.
This girl goes with anyone who takes care ofher.
She gives herself away like a fool.
She has nothing ofher own, onlywhat's given orwhat she takes.
This is a foolish risk.
Right now there's really no choice.
Foryou maybe.
Aren't they beautiful?
Oh, yes. Gorgeous.
Mrs. Parvizi will be by to pick them up in a few hours.
[Ed] Allshe wants is the money andno more trouble.
- Who are you? - That's all she wants.
Just what was promised her and her safety.
- What about you? - I'm just a friend.
A friend? OfJack Caper's too?
You drive his car. What do you want?
She said she'd split the moneywith me.
All this risk for $1 2,500?
{ Laughing } No. Please.
- No, of course not. - Then why?
The last thing you'd believe is anything close to the truth.
The truth is... I'm not sure I know.
Somebody had to help her. I happened to be in the wrong place at the right time.
- How much did Melville offer? - [Ed] The French guy? we rejectedhis offer.
Twenty-five thousand dollars is nothing. I do not understand.
Okay, you give me the money in cash.
when I see Diana, we 'll call and tellyou the location ofthe other three stones.
It's simple. Too simple.
why? what is it? what's wrong with our plan?
There has to be a catch, a trick.
I do not trust your plan.
I think it's a very good plan.
Come on. Time's running out. Escrow is closing.
- Did Jack Caper tell you that? - Yes, that's right.
- I'm Jack's son. - His son?
Illegitimate. But some day it'll all be mine.
You and I might be doing business, going out to lunch.
All right, okay, fine. I'll tell you the truth.
Diana's C.I.A. I'm on Her Majesty's Secret Service. We've got the place surrounded.
[Phone Ringing]
- I'm really from Immigration. - [Ringing Continues ]

- What areyou playing at? - I apologize. I've been lying.
I'm actually the chairman ofthe committee to reelect the president.
- I was hoping for a substantial contribution. - You are mad.
Nowyou don't know what to believe, doyou?
Look, eitheryou've already lost everything...
oryou have to take a chance on me.
Neither of us have much to lose.
Ifhe's still there, you better let him go ifyou everwant to see those stones alive.
A-Again.
Ever.
I promise ifI'm followed, I'll go straight to the police.
Besides, it might take every one ofyou to retrieve the stones.
They could be scattered all over the city.
- When can we expect this call? - When everyone's safe.
