Fearless Page #2

I'm sorry to intrude, but...

...Mrs. Gordon's frustrated. The airline

can't make a definite identification.

Jeff's dead.

Oh, my God!

Jesus, Max!

Max isn't himself right now.

How do you know? We just met.

- I'm Bill Perlman.

- He's a therapist, works for the airline.

I'm here for you, Max.

If the airline pays your bills,

then it's a conflict of interest.

I have to warn Mr. Klein

that anything he says in your presence...

Is in confidence. It's my agreement.

Let's talk about that later.

Nan doesn't know.

She thinks if you're alive...

I'll tell her.

Can we speak privately?

This is inappropriate.

All right, out. Get out!

We should talk.

Max, relax.

- Are you okay?

- I'm fine.

I didn't hit him very hard.

I can't help you right now.

If you need anything, call me.

In fairness to Mrs. Gordon,

I should hear the details.

May I speak bluntly?

I'd prefer it.

You said you saw Mr. Gordon's dead body.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

When you speak to your lawyer...

...emphasize that you saw

your partner's dead body...

...and think hard about what else you saw.

It doesn't matter what you've said

to anybody so far.

With accidents there's a delayed reaction.

Memories of what happened

return gradually.

I know, I'm terrible to talk about it but...

...it's important that you remember...

...if you saw Mr. Gordon actually be killed.

Another thing to remember:

If he wasn't killed instantly...

...if he was in any pain...

You telling me how to lie

so I can get more money?

To be honest with you,

I wasn't thinking about you.

I was thinking about Mrs. Gordon.

She's not from a rich family and...

...now she's a widow with two children.

What? What?

What? What's wrong?

I don't want to tell any lies.

All right.

Next time, just say no.

Good evening, Mr. Klein.

Don't scream, okay?

Just bear in mind, you're sitting pretty,

you get the partnership insurance.

I think you owe Mrs. Gordon anything...

...that could improve her settlement

with the airlines.

One other thing:

I had all night to go through

Mr. Gordon's papers.

He cashed in the tickets

that you ordered on AMEX.

Got a better price,

rebought them for cash...

...and pocketed the difference.

So Jeff cheated me out of $200.

So he cheated his wife...

...out of the automatic

American Express insurance.

That's another reason why...

...your memory of what happened

on the plane is so important.

Steady.

I knew it. I just knew it...

...right away.

- We were stupid.

- No, you weren't.

We lived like jerks.

Always nagging. We wasted it.

He loved you.

Mom, keep the kids...

- Let's go back to your room.

- Why's she crying?

You made him happy.

He loved you.
