The Hessen Conspiracy Page #3

right there in front of me, In front of us.

Come on.

Goddamn.

A penny for your thoughts.

I figure this time

I can afford the going rate now.

You married?

No. You?

He died at Guam,

a week after the ceremony.

You're lying. I read your file.

You moved from Belgium to Dayton

when you were eighteen,

with your mother.

- She had a job...

- You got some nerve...

I didn't get this far

without doing my homework.

The war changed everything, didn't it?

It sure broke the monotony.

What's this?

That's a piece of shrapnel I stole

from the Germans at Omaha Beach.

What'd he do, walk out on you?

Nobody f***ing walks out on me.

You gotta hell of a mouth on you,

you know that?

Try it sometime.

Sir, we have a situation.

Dave, did you ever find out about that thing

I asked you to check on for me,

about Eva Braun's jewels?

Who?

Hitler's girlfriend.

You mean who her jewels would belong to.

Yeah. If somebody found them.

Well, from what I can gather,

the army is confiscating an ything

that has to do with the Nazi war machine

and leaving the rest.

- We do have a situation.

- What... what do you man?

What does that mean?

The jewels belong to her.

Eva Braun could wear them

to her execution.

Have you found something sir?

Me? No.

What about Lieutenant Snatch, huh?

What about her?

Has she found something?

Like what? What are you talking about?

You know how they say she can

suck a bowling ball through a straw.

You're the one that rolled that strike,

Colonel.

Congratulations.

You wanted to ask me something Lieutenant.

What was it?

A German civvy

drowned in the moat last night.

Jesus, what happened?

Drunk, fell in, I guess.

What with the band playing, no one heard.

They identify him?

Funny name. Weiss?

Imagine that Colonel, a name like 'vice'.

Where is he?

MPs fished him out and sent him

to the Army coroner in Frankfurt.

Nothing was disturbed if he fell,

he fell clean.

What do you mean, 'if'?

Figure of speech.

How do they know he was drunk?

More alcohol than blood in his veins.

Just another dead Kraut.

Who's gonna care, right?

- Right...

- Right.

Exactly.

- One thing though, sir.

- Yeah.

They found a rock in his pocket.

A rock?

A diamond. Big as walnut.

Someone sure as hell found something,

didn't they?

We were at Omaha together sir,

we've been together a long time.

I don't mind telling you

I do not have a problem with this.

All right.

Guess I better go see the coroner

about this, huh?

- Colonel.

- I'm going go and deal with this thing.

And after we're going to

have a little talk, alright?

We'll talk about everything, Dave.

Everything.

What in God's name were you...

Get her out of here!
