Mulholland Falls Page #2

The food calms me down.

Esther, don't you have

something better to do?

No. Not better than this.

All right.

- Ready?

- Yeah. Turn it on.

What is this, somebody's

summer vacation?

That's the girl we found

in the Valley, Max.

Max, I gotta talk to

you about this D.A.

He's a prick. Max?

Coolidge, do me a favor.

You go get yourself something to eat.

Go back to your desk.

Max, if something is wrong...

I mean, maybe it's best to talk it out,

you know, and get it out in the open,

if it's anything like that.

No, nothing like that.

But any problem could be solved, Max.

All you have to do is break

it down into parts, you see?

It's just simple, it's right into parts,

my psychiatrist told me,

and you deal with

each part individually.

One part, and then you

go to the next part.

You just gotta break

it down, but the first...

Ellery.

Do me that favor.

Just do it.

Hoover!

You alone?

Yeah.

- I need protection.

- From what?

You look at the film I sent you?

You know who the guy in it is?

I don't even know who you are.

I'm Jimmy Fields.

Look, that guy in the

movie, he killed her!

Killed who?

Spare me the crap,

I don't have time for it!

A mutual friend is dead,

they killed her,

and I'm going out the same way

unless I can get some help.

How do you know she's dead?

Because she would've

called me otherwise.

Because she always called

me, always, always.

Because I was her best friend.

That means I didn't f*** her.

What did you do with her,

share makeup tips?

Do I make you nervous, Lieutenant?

When was the last time you saw her?

Saturday.

In Vegas.

She dropped my camera

off Saturday morning,

said she'd meet me back in L.A.,

that her and the general were

gonna go for a little ride.

What general?

Cops.

Does Thomas Timms ring a bell?

You go look it up.

How many more films are there?

Couple.

Did she know?

Maybe.

I asked you a question.

Did she know you were taking movies?

No.

I'd put that gun away.

Help me, Hoover.

You're supposed to be a cop!

I thought you couldn't

turn anybody down.

Is that what she said?

That's what she said.

She was wrong.

I had him by the neck

when he swore at me.

Here he comes.

Where are we going, Max?

I got something to take care of.

I'll be back later.

We gotta ask you a question.

The dead girl, she's the same one

that's in the movie, isn't she?

Coolidge tell you that?

I've been worried, Max.

Worried? You're worried?

What the hell you worried about?

We're partners here.

Tell us, was something going on

between you and that dead girl?

Look, guys, I want you to cut

me a little slack on this one.

Just let me do what I gotta do.

I thought you had grand
