to find

your own things,

but you say

you're in a fix.

I know a long-time

customer.

I know the merchandise

involved.

It's very tempting.

IBM?

Sorry?

Italian businessman.

No, nothing like that,

nothing at all.

It's a dentist.

A dentist?

from me,

my former husband.

I would like very much

to get that jewelry back.

Call the police.

Well...

Ok.

Aah!

It's on the house.

You need it.

Ok.

Most all of my business

most of them

illegal,

so they pay cash,

unreported cash.

There. that'll be numb

in a minute.

Didn't feel a thing,

did you?

With this cash,

i bought jewelry.

When my husband

and I separated,

he went to

our safe deposit box

and cleaned it out.

There's nothing official

i can do about it

without the IRS

finding out.

Ok, open up

for Mr. thirsty.

He kees ha woolry

in tha houba?

What?

Does he keep the jewelry

in his house?

His apartment.

I don't know why.

Guess he likes to show it

to his girlfriends,

of which he has many.

Besides, he's not exactly

a rocket scientist.

I don't know about you,

but I've always been

a sucker

for a really nice

pair of buns.

[Turns on drill]

Aah!

Let's go.

Cynthia:

the apartment's simple.

There's no doorman

downstairs,

and I've even got a key.

Whellwy?

What?

Really?

Yes, really.
