Lew Harper for Mrs. Sampson.
- Yes?
- Lew Harper.
Park it over there.
This way, Mr. Harper.
- Mrs. Sampson?
- That's right.
Lew Harper.
Albert Graves telephoned. Said
you needed me for something.
Oh.
- A drink, Mr. Harper?
- Not before lunch, thanks.
- I thought you were a detective.
- New type.
Oh.
Albert Graves is one of our lawyers.
It's on his recommendation I'm hiring you.
It's about time he threw
some business my way.
I've known Albert since he was DA up here.
Oh. He said you were good at finding things.
My husband's...
You're sitting on my robe.
My husband's disappeared.
Tried Missing Persons?
Well, that might mean publicity.
Ralph loathes publicity.
Besides, he's got an
abnormal fear of the police.
I simply want you to find him and
tell me which female he's with.
- Any particular female?
- I haven't the least notion.
Ralph need never know about this.
He'd be sure I was gathering
material for divorce proceedings.
Actually, I have no
intention of divorcing him.
I only intend to outlive him. I
only want to see him in his grave.
- What a terrible thing to say.
- People in love will say anything.
I used to love him, before we were married.
But after we took our
vows, I had an accident,
and that very same week Ralph started
fooling around with a new lady.
It's taken me a while to forgive him.
A long, long while.
When did your husband...
Don't you want to know what happened to me?
Not necessary.
- When did your husband disappear?
- Yesterday.
Our pilot, Allan, flew Ralph down from Vegas.
When they reached the airport,
Allan put the plane away.
When he came back, Ralph
had given him the slip.
- Any particular reason?
- Drunk.
I don't like him drunk on the loose.
He gets sloppy, sentimental.
Last time it happened, he
gave away a whole mountain.
He gave it to some semi-nude
religious nut from Los Angeles.
You know, LA is the big
league for religious nuts.
That's 'cause there's nothing to do at night.
If you can find him quickly, I'd be grateful.
And if he's with another woman, I'd be...
Well, more than interested.
Felix.
You're lurking in doorways again.
I did not want to interrupt.
You can go now. I'll have
my lunch up here as usual.
Thank you.
Allan's down by the pool.
Any more particulars you
want you can get from him.
up to Albert Graves to settle.
Did you drive up from LA?
Leave your car here.
Felix will drive you to Albert's
office. It's only 10 minutes away.
Goodbye, Mr. Harper.
It would help some if I knew
what your husband looked like.
Oh, silly of me.
Here.
You can keep that one.
"A poor thing, but mine own. "
Where's the telephone?
I have to call Los Angeles.
Do you got one with a little more privacy?
That's the phone the help's supposed to use.
- Hello.
- Hello, Fred? It's Lew.
Yes.
Tell her I'm not gonna
be able to make it today.
I got called in on a situation.
And we were going to get
everything settled today.
Where is he this time?
I'm up in Santa Theresa.
Tell her Albert Graves called.
Said he needed me for
something. She'll understand.
Something about Albert Graves needing him
and you'll understand.
No. No, I don't.
I've been trying to get this divorce
thing settled for too long now,
and I have lately been
running low on understanding.
- She says she's...
- I heard.
Tell her that I...
We're supposed to be
handling this like adults.
Now, I don't want a screaming match,
but the last time we were going
to meet something came up, too.
