I Remember as I brushed my hair before going to bed that night that I felt almost Sorry for mr. Tillett, but he was such an old Rue a next time. He'd know better wicked little eyes I Didn't get up until 11 the next morning. It was a wonderful day Bright and clear. I was having my second cup of coffee when Yes, well, it's barn Yes, just a moment. I'm awfully. Sorry. I it's all right miss Barnes. May I come in? My name's Bolan robbery detail.

How wonderful But they were two men. Yes, we know You're sure you don't know Archer. No, I'm positive. I don't you've never met him. No You sound as though you think I should mr. Bolan. You were followed after the robbery miss Barnes You went to a restaurant on East 53rd Street. You had dinner there with two men. One of them was Archer That's ridiculous. No Our man didn't know it was Archer until this morning when mr. Tillett photographs who's identified The detective who followed you recognized Archer. I'm afraid you're mistaken mr. Bolan.

You'll have to come down tongue Am I under arrest? Let's say you're a material witness. It sounds better. I Don't think I was frightened.

They questioned me this morning. I'm free at the moment Now look here. There's not much time.

That's right David Archer got 10 years I spent two years nine months and 14 days in prison and I was nearly 27 when I went back to new york The first thing I did was to get my hair done Holiday hadn't been in touch with me, but I realized it might have been too dangerous The police and the insurance company were still looking for the jewels So I began to look for holiday I Telephoned every hotel in new york and every possible contact that holiday might have had and at the end of a month I knew what had happened. He'd gone run out leaving no word and my share of the money had gone with him Yes, my name is robert wiley I'm downstairs in the bar.

I mean for you Well, it might unless well, that's where you come in Exactly. How do I come in mr. Wiley?

It's beautiful. Well, I wouldn't want to be in it Can't you swim mr. Wiley? Oh, listen now, let's forget that wiley stuff Bob okay, okay How did the girl like you get mixed up with halliday? I wasn't mixed up with him. He was mixed up with me. There's a difference, you know He worked for you that's right Are you kidding not at all? Why should I? From what he says you were the front girl and he worked out the deal the colonel used to be an actor I don't think he can bear second billing You're quite a girl And are you quite a boy? I've been told I say why I know you feel because you're a man you have to behave like one but don't ever do that again I don't get I have no intention of letting you You better understand this you and I have a business arrangement I want my money you want to take care of the colonel We'll keep to that. Okay Don't you ever relax? I relaxed for two years nine months and 14 days in prison I feel like working now Do you understand? No, that's the way you wanted it is And if you ever try to touch me again, we have finished Three days later. We were in london We found a nondescript hotel in chelsea and laid doggo for a time It wasn't going to be easy The colonel was a very top dog in black market And we both knew that if he ever found out that wily was in england, they'd be trouble It was wily's idea that I go to see him in his flat But I thought an accidental meeting would be better and so We planned it that way I bumped into the colonel at piccadilly circus Oh, I beg your pardon. I'm so sorry Ham I say it is you colonel I'd no idea Jeffrey, this is marvellous. I mean absolutely marvellous How long have you been over here? Only a few weeks. Oh marvellous. Oh my god. Lovely is ever lovely Look, sir. Could we have a cocktail together talk over all the time? Oh, I'd love to Oh marvellous. How about scots? They know me there We went to scots and on the way he prattled about england his england and of the old days in america And it was all quite respectable talk The colonel was a striking man wore his clothes beautifully and walked with a carriage you'd expect from a man who looked like that They knew him very well in the restaurant. I began to see that this was not the same holiday. I had known three years before We sipped our drinks and it was all like a very exciting play He knew I was going to ask him about the money from the robbery And I knew that my partner was going to kill him No, the things are not quite the way they were although. I suppose one must put up with it Wasn't one you seem to have done nicely colonel. Oh my lovely girl It's all a matter of comparison purely comparison to the jobs we used to do on the other side Oh darling, those are trifles. I have no time for such nonsense now neither have I What did you do with the jewels? Jewel, yes The ones we got from till its remember you went to san francisco. I'd show of course What a marvellous memory where it's marvellous, isn't it? Yes Well a bad show I'm afraid I was hijacked as our american cousin so quaintly put it Who did it? I don't know it it happened in san francisco. Oh, yes And then when I heard what had happened to you and uh, archer I gave up and came home to england You were awfully lucky, weren't you? Oh, not really ever Now it's strange because I heard that you got 50 000 dollars in san francisco. No Yes Rot Who said so? Wiley Robert Wiley Wiley And who is Robert Wiley? Oh, what's the use of all that colonel? You know very well as a matter of fact I have the slightest idea of what you're talking about I gather that I'm supposed to be on close terms with this is Wiley chair. That's right. I see Well, you can only believe one of us, can't you? And I tell you I've never even heard of the man I do know you better than I know him colonel Then you take my word, eh? No, I take his I'd like my share, Halliday. My dear truck. I want my share What can I say? I know what you've been through I think of poor archers still incarcerated, but on my word of honor, Pam I didn't get a brass father. I want my money now Oh, Pam, Pam, you're too marvelous I mean it Darling girl, things have changed, you know Over here, I'm the man. I don't take orders anymore. And if I did, it wouldn't be from a woman Certainly not from you, Pam You're much too emancipated even for me I think I would have killed him then In scots If I'd had a gun or a knife I would have killed him And as I walked to the underground station I did something I can never remember having done before I cried When I got back to the hotel, I went to Wiley's room and told him what had happened We were agreed we would have to work fast. And so that night we went to Halliday's flat Who is it? Pam, may I speak to you for a minute? Oh, darling Hello Hello, Colonel Dear girl, how are you? Come in, come in, come in Thanks Oh, twice in one day, you surprised me, Pam But then you always did Do sit down, won't you? And your young man? Her drinks? No, thank you Well then, what should we talk about? You? Oh, I say, in front of this gentleman, you know you haven't introduced me, Pam Are you kidding? I never kid You're a rotten liar I may be, but I should still like to know Oh, this must be, uh, Robert Wiley Am I right? There's not much point to this No, I want my money, Halliday Of course And what do you want, Wiley? Never mind You know, this is almost funny, Pam I don't know what you are up to, but I've really never seen this chap before in my life You think she's going to believe that? Probably not You can give me Arch's share, too Oh, how thoughtful of you And you'll see that he gets it, won't you? Yes Come on, come on, the money Oh, yes Tell me, Wiley, why did we know each other? When? What do you think you're going to do? Play me up against her? Well, not at all, I'm just interested Colonel Yes, sir? When you open the safe, please be careful A gun now, eh? Yes Put it away, it's my drug I underestimated you, my dear, I shouldn't have done that Well, you'll have to take it in pounds, you know That's all right Oh, Archer, I wonder if he'll look for you when he gets out He might, hurry up, please Will you tell me one thing? What? Who is this man, really? Hand it over Why are you afraid to let me talk, Mr. Wiley? Don't you want her to find out the truth? Give me the money Look out for him, Pam, dear I don't know what he's been telling you, but I'm going to tell you something now I swore to myself that if I ever found you, I'd pay you out for what you did to me I'd get my money and I'd pay you I'm going to, Colonel He wants to do it, but I owe you more Oh, Pam No Sam! Oh, you silly... Give me the... I've been telling you the truth, Pam I've never seen him in my life Why did you have to do that? Because I wanted to You must be crazy Come on You're not going anywhere Oh, stop it, come on You stay right there I've got to call the police Police? Yes, maybe you should have listened to him What do you mean? I'm with international insurance company, a New York office We knew the jewels had been sold, but we wanted to recover as much of the money as we could You didn't know him No, but I knew you'd be looking for him when you got out We wanted to get you both together Don't wait a moment What? On the boat coming over, remember? You wanted to kiss me Perhaps I've changed my mind now I think I have too I don't think we'd be happy together You're not exactly my idea of the idea of wife, you know?
