00:11 Mr. and Mrs. North, starring Barbara Britton and Richard Denning.
00:16 [music]
00:44 [music]
00:50 Jerry, hold my hand.
00:52 [music]
00:58 I want to remember Mexico City just like this.
01:01 I'm sure the tourist bureau would be more flattered if you remembered it with your eyes open.
01:05 [music]
01:07 The garden, the music, the lovely dinner.
01:12 [music]
01:15 Mmm, a lovely check.
01:18 How can anybody think of money in such a heavenly place?
01:21 I don't know. I suppose we ask the head waiter.
01:24 Seriously though, I'd be hocking the family silver to pay for this same meal in New York.
01:29 Oh, Señor.
01:31 Señor North, my humblest apologies for intruding at your dinner table.
01:37 Oh, hey, Paco, remember us? We knew you when you were playing Frank Brown, detective sergeant, New York's finest.
01:43 You can save that routine for the turistas.
01:46 Jerry North, I'm a turista and I love it.
01:48 It's all part of the service, Jerry. No extra charge.
01:53 Oh, wait till I tell Bill Wagonell a certain protege of his is cutting it down here in Mexico City as a private investigator.
02:00 Frankly, Jerry, I wish you could give him a better report on what I've been able to do for you.
02:04 No, I'm good.
02:07 Now, I've talked to everyone in Mexico City who's even on speaking terms with your genius typewriter.
02:12 It's a dead end, chum.
02:15 Mr. Arthur Douglas just walked out of his hotel one morning.
02:18 No one has seen or heard from him since.
02:21 You don't suppose he... somebody could have kidnapped him?
02:25 With all due respects, Pam, there'd be more chance of that happening in my old precinct in New York.
02:30 Now, this isn't the first time Douglas has pulled a disappearing act.
02:33 Once he gets hot on a book, there's no telling what hole he'll crawl in to write it.
02:37 Unfortunately, this gets a little rugged on his publishing.
02:41 Well, I have to fly home tonight, so I might as well settle our account with you.
02:46 Oh, not a thing, Jerry.
02:48 Our motto is "Resultados, Garantizados," which translates "Results Guaranteed."
02:53 I didn't find your Mr. Douglas.
02:55 Yeah, but you will. I'll give you this check. You can call it a retainer.
02:59 Thank you.
03:00 And when you do locate Douglas, crate him and ship him home. Airmail.
03:05 I'm sorry that you return home empty-handed, my friend.
03:08 Flight 217 to Miami is flying two sections tonight.
03:11 One just to carry Pam's shopping loot.
03:14 Which reminds me, I'm supposed to confirm these reservations in a... Excuse me.
03:19 (door opens)
03:20 (phone rings)
03:30 (phone rings)
03:41 Hello, Interterrestrial Airlines?
03:43 Si, uh, yes, Señor North. One moment, please.
03:47 Señor North, your reservations have been validated for flight 217.
03:51 This is correct, Señor.
03:53 At eight o'clock, Señor.
03:55 Uh, this is the takeoff time, but you will be at the airport in time to load your baggage.
04:00 Thank you, Señor. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.
04:03 Never mind the apologies. Can you get me on that plane?
04:06 Flight 217 to Miami.
04:09 You are very fortunate, Señor. We do have a space open on that flight.
04:15 Look, congratulate me some other time. Go ahead and write up the ticket and tell me how much it costs.
04:19 Si, Señor.
04:20 Cool.
04:30 What are you doing here? I thought we...
04:34 You thought Roy had shot us bold?
04:36 There'd be no more arguments, no more angry words?
04:39 That it'd be just you and that glorified truck driver?
04:42 It doesn't matter, but Alan owns this trucking firm.
04:45 It's one of the biggest in New York.
04:47 Doesn't it matter?
04:51 I suppose it never occurred to you that at least a portion of Alan's great attraction
04:55 was that he could set you up in a penthouse in New York?
04:58 Shall we now join in singing one chorus of "Just a Bird in a Gilded Cage"?
05:02 Really, you're being pretty corny, Roy.
05:04 Of course it occurred to me, and may I add, it's a very pleasant prospect.
05:08 That's what I figured. And it may be corny of me as you say,
05:11 but isn't there something just a little degrading about marrying a man for his money?
05:16 Go ahead. Justify your smug little world where it's so very important to be a failure.
05:20 Frankie, I've had enough of it. And you, and this conversation.
05:23 Will you kindly leave now?
05:25 I'm meeting Alan at the church in less than an hour.
05:30 [music]
05:32 I assume you're abandoning these playthings now?
05:46 They'll be shipped to me.
05:48 Oh. Then you plan to continue painting?
05:51 Why not?
05:52 But of course. You'll be the darling of the society editors.
05:56 Prominent young matron pursues art career.
05:59 It's too bad our art course did not include instruction in painting with a martini shaker in one hand.
06:04 I think I can safely make the switch from tequila.
06:07 There's no point in talking anymore, is there?
06:16 You know all the answers.
06:19 I suppose I should follow custom and say I hope you're very happy with that.
06:24 Are you asking me what you should say?
06:27 What difference does it make what I say?
06:29 There's one thing you forgot to say.
06:32 A long time ago, it might have made all the difference.
06:36 What?
06:38 That you loved me.
06:40 Goodbye, Roy.
06:42 [music]
06:45 [door opens]
06:47 Bon voyage, darling.
06:58 And many happy returns of the day.
07:01 Didn't say I loved you, eh, baby?
07:09 Is that all it took?
07:12 What do you want to bet it sounds better coming from a guy with a million bucks?
07:17 Remember how it was with us, baby?
07:23 Two years.
07:25 We could communicate.
07:27 That was our big deal.
07:30 We talked about everything.
07:33 Everything.
07:37 And sometimes we didn't talk because we knew.
07:40 We knew.
07:42 We didn't have to confuse what we were feeling with words.
07:45 Didn't say I loved you.
07:50 How about that?
07:52 What do you think that was all about those two years?
07:55 A high school dance?
07:58 Bon voyage, darling.
08:01 [music]
08:03 [clock ticking]
08:06 If it's all the same to you, you don't have to drive so fast.
08:25 I say, you don't have to drive so fast.
08:28 Look out!
08:32 Hey, can't you slow this thing down?
08:35 Hey, slow down a little, will you?
08:41 Never mind. Just forget I said anything.
08:44 Watch the traffic.
08:47 It's all right, dear.
08:54 Open your eyes now. We made it.
08:57 And no broken bones.
08:59 Unless you crushed my arm.
09:02 I'm sorry, Jerry.
09:04 It's all right. You have to hold on to something.
09:07 Jerry, why is it every cab driver in Mexico City drives like that?
09:21 I don't know. Unless it's because they're all frustrated bullfighters.
09:24 No, senor. They are not frustrated bullfighters.
09:27 They're frustrated bulls.
09:30 [announcement in Spanish]
09:35 Attention, please.
09:49 The Midway Airlines Flight 201 from Rio de Janeiro and intermediate points
09:56 now arriving at gate 7.
09:59 Check your bag, senor. Don't touch that bag.
10:04 I mean, I don't need a porter now, thanks.
10:07 Flight 217 to Miami.
10:09 That will leave from gate 5 on schedule, sir.
10:12 8 o'clock. About 30 minutes.
10:14 Si. Yes, sir.
10:16 Gracias.
10:18 Could I help you, senor?
10:20 No, no. Nobody can help me. I beg your pardon.
10:24 [announcement in Spanish]
10:27 I was just waiting. I'll be right back.
10:31 Will the lady who owns a missing little boy please come to the office and found us?
10:36 Maybe I better go help, Jerry. They might not find the mother.
10:38 No, you're staying right here, young lady.
10:40 This sort of thing goes on all the time.
10:42 There will be $52.20 overweight, senor.
10:45 What did you do? Buy that Chipotle-peg monument while you were at it?
10:48 No, dear. Was it for sale?
10:51 Si. Thank you, sir.
10:54 I've never flown before.
11:02 Can you tell me what part of the plane they put this in?
11:05 The baggage compartment, senor. In the belly of the plane.
11:08 Look out!
11:16 Are you wrong, senor?
11:19 I am.
11:21 Attention. Passengers for Interterrest flight 217.
11:27 There will be a 30-minute delay in the departure of this flight.
11:31 Yes, sir?
11:33 Give me the bag.
11:35 I'll bring it back. Right now, I need it.
11:46 What a way to run an airline. A 30-minute delay.
11:50 The agent just told me we were leaving on schedule.
11:53 [Music]
12:18 Thirty minutes to go.
12:22 I wonder how many martinis I could drink in 30 minutes.
12:26 That's something you're never going to find out.
12:29 Oh, isn't this exciting, Jerry? Look out there.
12:38 It would be even more exciting if we were returning with a certain elusive writing gentleman
12:50 named Douglas under our wing.
12:52 Oh, you and that Mr. Douglas. Can't you forget him?
12:55 Look, darling, on principle, I'd love to forget Mr. Douglas.
12:59 It just happens that his last book for me has been on the bestseller list for over a month.
13:03 Isn't that good?
13:04 Yes, dear, good. But I have to be able to produce Mr. Douglas in the flesh.
13:08 Critics want to mate him.
13:10 Deals involving thousands of dollars that he must approve of.
13:13 He's bound to turn up.
13:15 True, but I want him to turn up while his book is still on the bestseller list. I can't be...
13:19 There is a telephone call for a Mr. Gerald North.
13:23 Will be step to the information desk.
13:25 Well, how in the world would...
13:26 That's easy, Paco Brown.
13:28 Must have some word on the whereabouts of our friend Douglas.
13:31 Be right back.
13:33 Excuse me.
13:37 Let's sit here, Alan.
13:40 All right.
13:42 I thought people stopped that when they were married.
13:47 You were misinformed. That's when they really start.
13:50 I hope you don't mind my being too obvious, sweet, but I find I like being a bridegroom.
13:55 Why should I mind?
13:56 I don't know.
13:57 Sometimes I'm afraid you'll get tired of hearing me say I love you.
14:00 Darling, I have good news for you.
14:03 I love hearing you say you love me.
14:06 Yeah, thanks, Paco.
14:15 I'll break it gently to Pam and meet you right here.
14:18 Right.
14:20 Flight 217 to Miami.
14:26 Here you are, sir.
14:28 [door opens]
14:56 Well, that was the longest telephone conversation I've ever heard of.
14:59 Oh, I'm sorry, dear, but the connection was bad.
15:01 Was it? Was it Paco? Has he located Mr. Douglas?
15:04 Yeah. I'm afraid you're not going to like this, but I'm going to have to send you on home alone.
15:10 But, Jerry!
15:11 According to Paco, Douglas is holed up in a native village accessible only to burros and mountain goats,
15:15 and it's no place for a woman.
15:17 Pardon me if I sound skeptical,
15:19 but this has all the earmarks of an elaborate brush-off, Jerry North.
15:23 You're an amazing wife.
15:25 Do you think for one moment if I had a choice, I would deliberately run out on you?
15:29 And of all places, here in Mexico City?
15:32 I'm sorry.
15:34 You see, I kind of love you, and we always do everything together.
15:38 It's funny. I feel the same way, but it takes a certain amount of money to stay happy,
15:43 and to get money, I have to work with weird characters like Douglas.
15:47 Come on. I'll get my bag and stay with you till the plane leaves.
15:53 Say, I'll have to reclaim my bag. Checked it out on flight 217 to Miami.
15:57 Oh, there, there, there.
15:58 No, that's the one right there. The black one.
16:01 You were just in time. We're loading.
16:03 Thank you.
16:04 Oh, Jerry, I want to get a magazine, darling.
16:06 Yes, I'll have this one, please.
16:11 And that one.
16:12 And that one.
16:14 Wait a minute. You're just going to New York, you know. Not around the world.
16:18 Never mind. I'll save them and you can read them.
16:21 Oh, Jerry, there's Paco.
16:23 Hi, amigo. You got here fast.
16:25 In Mexico City, a taxi cab ride is always fast.
16:28 So we've discovered.
16:30 Well, Paco, I'm glad you're here.
16:32 Perhaps now you can convince Jerry that it would be perfectly all right for me to go to that native village with him where you've located Mr. Douglas.
16:38 Stop throwing your weight around, Mrs. North.
16:41 You're on that plane bound for Miami in just about four minutes.
16:44 217 for Miami. Now loading at gate five.
16:49 Thank you. Come along, dear.
16:51 There it is, honey. Our magic carpet to Miami.
17:07 A honeymoon that will never end.
17:09 Thank you.
17:17 Wait a minute. I just want to see if you had my bag.
17:20 That's it. Go ahead.
17:22 Jerry, I don't want to go.
17:32 Why can't I stay here in Mexico City while you and Paco are chasing Mr. Douglas?
17:36 Because I'd rather have you waiting in New York where you know some people.
17:39 But, Jerry.
17:40 Look, darling, they're loading your bags on the plane.
17:43 You better get with it or you'll be left here in Mexico City without even a change of lipstick.
17:47 Come on.
17:48 Goodbye, Paco.
17:50 Have a nice trip, ma'am.
17:51 Have a nice trip, ma'am.
17:52 Nights are going to be awfully cold here in Mexico City.
18:20 Come on. I'll buy you one for the road.
18:22 Roy! Roy!
18:41 Oh, I can't believe it.
18:44 You saw me.
18:45 Through the window of the plane.
18:46 Why did you have to...
18:47 Oh, don't spoil it, Roy. You couldn't have done a nicer thing.
18:50 What do you mean?
18:51 Oh, coming here to see me off.
18:53 I... I thought you hated me and...
18:55 And after what I said to you, perhaps you should.
18:57 But just coming here proves what a big guy you really are.
19:00 I'm... I'm truly sorry if I hurt you this afternoon, Roy.
19:05 But now that I've seen you here, you'll always be in my life in a...
19:09 A certain nice way.
19:11 Goodbye, Roy.
19:13 Well... won't you say goodbye?
19:17 (Speaking Spanish)
19:19 Attention, please. Flight 217, last call.
19:26 (Horn honking)
19:27 You've got to listen to me.
19:50 I'm no crackpot, but I'm going to be a murderer in another five minutes if you don't listen to me.
19:55 I'm telling you, there's a bomb in that suitcase.
19:57 Hold flight 217.
20:04 Flight 217 has cleared the field.
20:07 Bring it back. There's a time bomb aboard in a black suitcase.
20:10 Baggage ticket 4720, rooted Miami.
20:14 Rush fire trucks and ambulances to flight 217, runway two.
20:20 Advise crew and passengers to abandon flight 217 as soon as it is down.
20:24 Control tower calling flight 217.
20:26 Control tower calling flight 217.
20:29 Flight 217, control.
20:31 Emergency order. Turn back and make an immediate landing.
20:34 A demolition truck will remove a bag containing a bomb from your luggage compartment.
20:39 The bag is black leather. Claim check number 4720.
20:43 Repeat, claim check number 4720.
20:47 (Train whistle)
20:48 Be right back.
20:56 Attention, everyone. This is an emergency.
21:00 All personnel is ordered off the runways and field.
21:04 All others please remain within administration building.
21:08 I repeat, this is an emergency.
21:11 What's going on?
21:14 Come on, I know the manager. Let's find out.
21:16 Alfredo, what's happened?
21:20 That idiot smuggled a time bomb aboard a plane.
21:23 Which plane?
21:24 Flight 217.
21:25 Flight 217?
21:26 Bad.
21:27 Boy, you...
21:28 Hold it, Jerry. Hold it.
21:29 If anything happens to Pam...
21:31 Pam, over.
21:32 840.
21:54 Three minutes, 20 seconds.
21:58 Can they make it?
22:00 They have to make it.
22:01 They've got the red.
22:06 Passengers are getting off, Jerry.
22:26 Let's get out there.
22:27 (Indistinct chatter)
22:29 (Indistinct chatter)
22:31 (Indistinct chatter)
22:32 (Indistinct chatter)
23:01 (Speaking in Spanish)
23:02 Attention, everyone.
23:13 The danger has passed.
23:15 All clear.
23:18 Attention, everyone.
23:19 All clear.
23:21 Well, I guess I've got to get back to my plane.
23:23 Oh, nothing doing. You're staying with me.
23:26 Believe me, one thing while I was waiting for that plane to come down,
23:29 anything I can do, we can do better.
23:31 Together.
23:33 Jerry, you're sweet.
23:34 Oh, it's all right.
23:35 Uh, shall we, uh, look for the taxi driver?
23:38 It is all yours, officer.
23:49 Now, come on. Let's see what blew up.
23:54 (Speaking in Spanish)
23:55 Oh, no.
24:03 That bomb. They must have given me the wrong suitcase.
24:05 (Speaking in Spanish)
24:06 It's a tough break, amigo.
24:11 What's so funny? What's he saying?
24:19 Maybe it isn't for mixed company, Jerry.
24:22 Oh, no. This may surprise you, though.
24:24 The driver is very happy. He's very proud.
24:27 What?
24:28 Yes, he says that for just one little moment,
24:30 he owned the fastest moving taxi cab in all of Mexico City.
24:34 Oh, that's wonderful!
