Why not murder?
Too messy.
Dr. hynes:
Too great a risk?For half a million?
Yes.
I pinched a million
from the bank.
I'm not kidding.
I embezzled it.
Not that I think
you wouldn't do it
if you thought you
could get away with it.
I got away with it.
I'm not talking about currency.
I took negotiable
securities that
could be converted into cash.
I have the cash, in tens,
twenties, and hundreds.
I'm your doctor,
not your lawyer.
Why tell me this?
You'll find out why.

was the best man.
Where's the million?
In my family's tomb in Zenith,

have to have a body to
put in that casket, which
means that we'd have to deal
with an undertaker at this end.
Of course.
But where do we get a body?
Couldn't we provide
one of our own?

Sam?
Our guide?
Sam weighs about
as much as I do.
He's practically a hermit.
