:22:00
to start trouble
in my district
:22:02
without letting me in
on what you're after.
:22:04
Anytime you do,
you'll find yourself in a bad jam.
:22:07
A lot worse
than this one.
:22:09
All right, degarmot.
Just don't forget what i said.
:22:12
Me, i don't like
certain kinds of private dicks.
:22:15
I never did.
Never met one yet that wasn't a crook,
:22:20
anytime, anyplace.
:22:20
I've heard of people
that don't like certain kinds of cops.
:22:24
It seems impossible,
doesn't it?
:22:42
How'd you
get in here without being announced?
:22:44
Marlowe: I told
that girl outside it was an emergency.
:22:46
You look
like an emergency.
:22:49
Well, it's
an old sickness- reoccurring black eyes.
:22:52
Looks like
that big ring lavery wears.
:22:54
Yeah, he wore 5
of them. You know all about him, don't you?
:22:58
"Come on in, mr. Marlowe,
sir. Have a mint julep, sir." yak, yak, yak.
:23:01
At least he had
the decency to hit me above the mason and dixon line.
:23:05
You must be crazy.
Lavery's a swede.
:23:07
Brother, is he smooth.
He missed his calling.
:23:09
Yeah, but he
didn't miss you.
:23:11
I'll say he didn't.
I woke up in jail this morning.
:23:13
The next time i see
that baby, i'll know what time it is.
:23:16
I told you
he was a phony.
:23:17
Did you get anywhere
with him at all?
:23:19
No. He claims he hasn't
seen crystal kingsby for 2 months.
:23:22
We're right back
where we started.
:23:24
Maybe this is
a good place to get off.
:23:26
What do you mean?
:23:27
What do you want
for 300 bucks, a funeral?
:23:30
You were
hired to find crystal kingsby.
:23:32
And if i get
casually beat up along the way,
:23:34
that's all right
with you, isn't it?
:23:35
Grist for your mill,
mr. Marlowe- authentic fiction.
:23:38
Would it
be asking too much
:23:40
to start working
as a detective?
:23:42
What?
:23:43
Crystal kingsby
was last seen at little fawn lake.
:23:45
It's a place
in the mountains beyond arrowhead,
:23:47
just 3 or 4 little cabins
and this private lake that derrie owns.
:23:50
It's the last place
we know she was.
:23:51
I'm going to write you
a note to the caretaker up there.
:23:54
A mr. Floyd greer
to see mr. Kingsby.
:23:57
In what connection?
:23:58
He wouldn't say.
:23:59
Tell him if he can't
give you some idea, can't see him.
