INT. GAIL'S APARTMENT -- FRONT DOORWAY -- DAY Chace stands in Gail's doorway. She seems taken aback.
GAIL:
You've got to remember who the Gettys are. Every time someone stays inthe bathroom too long people startmaking jokes about being held for ransom. He might have cracked ajoke once or twice among friends --
CHACE:
There's that word again.
GAIL:
What word?
CHACE:
A joke. When it first happened yousaid you thought it was a joke.
GAIL:
Now you sound like that policeman.
CHACE:
Did Paul ever talk to you about havinghimself kidnapped?
GAIL:
Whose side are you on, Mr Chace?
CHACE:
I'm on my own side, always. And if there's a joke I like to make sureI'm in on it.
DEL ROVERE (V.O.) New developments have come to light.
INT. HOTEL LOBBY/BAR -- EVENING Del Rovere and Corvo have come to Chace's hotel. A news report about the OPEC summit plays on TV behind the bar.
CORVO:
Gail Getty is two months behind onthe rent on her apartment.
DEL ROVERE:
The lady needed money.
CHACE:
So do I.
54.
DEL ROVERE:
So do we all. But Gail Getty gaveup a chance to make a fortune in herdivorce. Did you know?
CORVO:
We calculated the money Ms Getty could have expected in her settlement.
我们计算了盖蒂女士在和解中所期望的金额。
The number was 15 to 18 million dollars. Quite a coincidence.
这个数字是1500万到1800万美元。真是巧合。
CHACE:
I'm impressed you had any time atall to look for the kid.
CORVO:
Then there is the matter of Gail's lover.
Chace blinks. Corvo takes out a picture of a handsomeSicilian. It's a police booking photo.
CORVO (CONT'D) Luigi Della Ratta. A casino croupier, very much a ladies' man, with reputedcriminal connections.
Chace stares at the photo.
DEL ROVERE:
It should have been obvious. A prettylady like this, expensive tastes, soinsistent to get Getty to pay the ransom --
