Thank you, Stu.
Ten o'clock.
- And she told you
nothing at all about
her business up here?
Not even indirectly?
- Not a thing.
All I know is she's in trouble.
You know what she's mixed up in,
don't you O'Hara?
her business, I think.
Some persons are born that way.
- O'Hara I have got to know.
- Keep your voice down please.
I hardly know you Mr. Allison,
but I wish you no ill.
Therefore, this is my advice.
Forget your wife.
Get out of Macao as
soon as possible.
Her illness is incurable.
I say this without malice.
Her addiction is only a symptom.
- I tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna meet her tonight,
and tomorrow I'm goin'
to Hong Kong with her.
- Then I can only
wish you good luck.
(church bells ringing)
(daunting orchestral music)
(knocking)
- Hello?
Anybody home?
Marion?
(daunting orchestral music)
- I'd stay right where
you are if I were you.
Dee, come into the front hall.
- [Stuart] Say look,
there's been a mistake.
And I'm quite sure.
- Put your hands on your head
and walk in there.
Slowly.
Straight ahead.
- [Stuart] Say look,
my name's Allison.
I can show you my
identification.
- Keep your hands
where they are.
- Now look, I can explain.
I was looking for my wife.
Your door was open.
- What might your
wife's name be?
- [Stuart] Marion A--
Marion Kramer.
- You'll have to do much
better than that ole boy.
I've never heard of either name.
- Look, I don't
care what you think.
I'm telling you it's a mistake.
Now if you don't believe
me, call the police.
- I'm afraid it won't be as
simple as that, Mr. Kramer
or whatever your name may be.
You see, the police in
this part of the world
are inclined to treat
Americans with kid gloves.
the tourist rate will suffer
if they do otherwise.
I think he and I can take
care of this ourselves
very nicely, thank you.
Sit down.
- What is this a frame?
I suppose Marion's got
something to do with it?
(daunting, dramatic
orchestral music)
(smacking)
(dramatic orchestral music)
(boat horn blowing)
(baby grumbling)
- Good morning, Mr. Allison.
(man speaking in
foreign language)
Just something for your
headache, that is all.
You are fortunate.
You might have had a concussion.
Chew it.
- You found me?
- This is the home
of a cousin of mine
who works in the
Custom's Bureau.
- Did you know it was a trap?
- No, but you could call
it an educated guess.
Your wife returned to Hong
Kong on the ferry this morning.
Don't be foolish, my friend.
You are in no condition
to go anywhere.
I am sure Mrs. Allison
will remain in Hong Kong
In fact, I'm gambling on it.
