Don't do that!
You lost your rug, Uncle Joe.
You lost your rug!
This isn't the real Mexico,
you know that.
the worst in a country.
Imagine your mother's face
if she saw our honeymoon hotel!
Seor Vargas!
Does this mean you're taking
the early plane back to Mexico City?
It doesn't leave for another 2 hours.
All I can say is, if you are taking
that plane, I'm very glad.
I'm very glad you're very glad.
Who told you to start this funny stuff
with the acid? Who told you?
I just wanted to give his wife
something to think about.
She's gonna get plenty, don't worry.
- Here, you lost your rug. - What?
You lost your rug.
My old man's in no shape for the pen.
If they give him ten, he dies.
And if Vargas gets hurt, what happens?
My brother Vic's as good as convicted.
Uncle Joe!
- What?
Sam, take it to her.
I don't want any more postcards.
I don't speak any Spanish. What do
you want? - I was to give this to you.
Susan... - Mike, look at...
- That was the police.
Quinlan has a lead. I must meet him.
Tell me what you want to do.
If you're going to Mexico City,
I can take you to the airport.
Perhaps that would be best. Just for
a few days. - I don't think so.
But a minute ago... - A minute ago
I said a lot of things.
Now I think the best thing
is to stick close to my husband. OK?
I'm coming with you. - But I must see
Quinlan at the U.S. police station.
I'll wait at the motel.
- What motel?
There must be one
on the American side of the border.
"The American side of the border."
I'll be safe there.
You won't have to worry about me.
Did I say the wrong thing again?
No, but it would be nice
for a man in my place
to be able to look after
his own wife in his own country.
If I go to the American motel,
it's just for comfort.
Not for safety.
Whatever you say, my dear.
...wealthy contractor
Rudolph Linnekar
has been identified
with a blonde nightclub dancer
killed in an explosion
a few yards this side of the border.
We'll get him where it really hurts.
Without laying a hand on him.
He's got a reputation!
He's got a young bride!
wishing they'd never been born!
But don't you see, darling,
if the bomb was planted in Mexico,
and the accused is Mexican, what an
international scandal this could be?
It might be kind of rough
on the tourist trade.
One of the longest borders on earth
is right here between our countries.
An open border, 1400 miles
I suppose it all sounds
very corny to you.
if my husband would only cooperate.
Vargas? - Hello Schwartz. - Quinlan's
