You could be on the news.

Does that satisfy you?

Our job is to convict criminals,

not to have them acquitted.

I'll conduct business in a proper way,

whether it pleases you or not.

I don't like the implications

of what you're saying.

Let's go.

We're going.

We're going now.

Not without my authorization.

Why does he have to fly so low?

We're not low.

The ground's high.

See?

Now we're high.

I hate these things.

Sorry, sir.

A little turbulence in the thermals

on the mountain's windward side.

I don't want to know about thermals.

You have to admit,

the scenery's spectacular.

If I want scenery, I'll get a postcard.

- How much longer?

- We'll be there in five minutes.

- That's too long.

- What does she look like?

I don't care what she looks like.

I don't like the company she keeps.

You realize when we go down,

nobody will find us except

some f***ing moose.

You think top gun up there can tell

if somebody's following us?

Like what, a condor?

There it is.

Keep the motor running, OK?

It's warm.

Miss Hunnicut?

I'm Detective Sergeant Dominick Benti,

Los Angeles Police Department.

With me is Deputy District

Attorney Robert Caulfield.

We know you're in there.

We'll wait all day out here if we have to.

Real cold out here.

Hope we don't have to.

Can I see some identification, please?

What do you want?

I think you know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

You were witness to a murder.

We'd like you to testify.

I never saw anything.

How did you find me?

Constance Billings told us.

She said you saw a lot.

I have nothing to say.

You wouldn't happen to have a drink,

would you?

You're on duty.

I only drink when I'm on duty.

How do I know who you are?

You saw our ID.

It could be fake. I wouldn't know.

If we were going to do you some harm,

we'd have done it already.

There's coffee on the stove.

- Do you have any beer?

- No.

Nice place.

- Thanks.

- Jesus! She really doesn't have beer.

Miss Hunnicut, we'd really like you to

come back and testify.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

I didn't see anything.

I don't know anything.

I'm not going to testify.

Aren't you pleasant.

I really have nothing to say to you.

- I'd like you to leave.

- You don't realize your situation.

I know exactly the situation I'm in.

I don't think you do.

We can protect you.

If you stay here, they're gonna find you.

There's no reason for anyone

to come after me.

I'm not testifying.

- I have a subpoena.

- Let me see it.

I can get one.

I think you should leave.

Lady, you're kidding yourself.

You think those guys would come up here.

You, being the one who could put
