I remember you.

And the authorities here could do nothing?

After all...

...there was no crime.

She was my wife.|She just took what I had given her.

Your money.

And your love.

And you did not suspect?

It seems that I know a lot less|about women than I thought I did.

And I know too much.

Consequently, I've not much use for them...

...apart from the necessities.

For real intercourse,|I prefer the company of men.

Listen to me.

Could you find her?

Perhaps.

But I am, at the moment...

...engaged to find the real Julia,|the one you were meant to marry.

Have you found her?

Have you found her?

Not yet.

If you do...if you do...

...she might lead you to the Julia I married.

Perhaps.

And vice versa.

As much as you want I will pay,|if you can find her for me.

That's all I want.

Then I assume you have made up|your losses.

As much as you want, I will pay, I said it.

I will pay.

Yes, I believe you would.

And if I did find your Julia?

If I brought her to you...

...or you to her...

...what good would it possibly do you?

Money's gone.

The love...

...ruined.

What could you possibly want with her?

What could you possibly want?

I want to kill her.

Yes, I do recall this lady.

Slim and dark and very....

I remember, coming along the deck|and the breeze catching her skirt.

She was coming towards me.

She quickly held it down with her hand|and as she passed, she smiled.

I believe she was traveling|with a troupe of American actors...

...touring the island.

Oh, yes, I remember.

She rolled up some lettuce in her napkin.

I thoughtit was strange.|She explained it was for her bird.

She was traveling with a bird.

Oh, yes. I remember her.

A lady with a birdcage...

...but this doesn'tlook like her.

She was young and very pretty.

Yes, that's her.

and the real Julia never appears, because...

...she is dead.

-You mean murder.|-Yes.

She could have had an accomplice.

These women often have an accomplice.

Someone she might use and then discard.

Someone who might even now be|in pursuit of her, just as you and I are.

This is where it happened.

Here in Havana.

This way, gentlemen. Welcome to Havana.

Mr. Downs will be in room 37...

...and Mr. Vargas will be just down the hall|in room 42.

I'll hook myself up|with the local authorities...

...and see if any dead bodies|have turned up recently.

You're welcome to join me.

No, thank you.

Havana is a very accommodating city,|especially during Carnival.

I suggest the Opera Restaurant.|It's just across the street.

It's very popular with American tourists.

Why don't you do something|pleasant tonight?

Treat yourself to a good dinner,|a good cigar and a good whore?

I prefer to be alone.
