Ed listens to Diana's plea for help, but then shakes his head and says, "No." "You did it before," says Diana, "at the airport." "I'm not sure what I did at the airport," says Ed. "You saved my life," says Diana. "They don't know who you are. Right now, they don't know where I am - - just stay with me for a little while longer?" Ed looks at her. "How do you know you can trust me?" he asks. "Because I know men," Diana replies. Ed ponders what she said. Next scene is on Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills.

Diana doesn't know who's after her and the emerald. "Iranians, or Persians, or something. If they're on visas, they don't want trouble," she says to Ed. "Uh-huh," says Ed. "Well, this is kind of outside my field..." "Christ, I can't get ahold of Jack," continues Diana, " He would help me." "Who's Jack?" asks Ed. "He's a friend of mine," says Diana. "Is he involved in this?" asks Ed. "Jack?" Diana laughs, "No. Jack doesn't need any more money. I guess he doesn't need me any more, neither." Ed sits down next to Diana. "Look," he says, "Maybe if you explain to the police that you're you were doing what you thought was a job, that - " "Yeah, what?" says Diana, "That I'm a smuggler?" She laughs, "No." "Okay," says Ed, "so now what?" "Well," replies Diana, "I know someone else who could help me. Would you help me get to him?" She looks at Ed. He looks back at her. "It's my only way out of this," says Diana. Ed continues to look at Diana.

Ed and Diana are sitting on brownstone steps on a Hollywood backlot, as Diana explains about the stolen emeralds. "How'd you get involved in all this?" asks Ed. "The stones are from the scepter of an ancient Persian king," says Diana. "Remember when the Shah fell, and the royal family fled Iran? The treasury was looted? Somebody got away with a good part of the crown jewels. Well, Hasi was somebody's cousin. Um, he was gonna give me twenty five thousand dollars. So, I went to Zurich. I went to a vault and everything went fine. He met me at the airport." "Who killed Hasi?" asks Ed. "They want the stones," continues Diana. "If I lose the stones, ohh I'm dead for sure." Diana sighs. "The police can't help me," she says. "I'm one of the bad guys." "Who were those men chasing you at the airport?" asks Ed. "I don't know," says Diana. "I've got to make some kind of deal with them." "With who?" asks Ed. "That's what I have to find out," replies Diana. "I know they're all -"

Diana says she's in bad straits because she has to rely on Ed for help. Ed tells her that's hard to believe.

"You're telling me!" says Diana.

They walk by the open bulkhead of a soundstage.

"Well," says Ed, "I'll tell you - - if you want any more help from me, I want to know what's going on."

Diana pauses in front of a NY brownstone set. "You want to know what's going on?" asks Diana.

"Yes!" says Ed.

"Alright," she says, pointing at the steps of the brownstone set. "Have a seat."

"Okay," says Ed. He sits on the brownstone steps. Diana sits next to him.

"They killed him," says Diana.

"Killed who?" asks Ed.

"Hasi," says Diana.

"Hasi?" asks Ed.

"In the parking lot, I - I was with him. He was waiting for me," says Diana. "The stones were his."

Ed stands up. "We have to get the police," he says.

"No, I can't!" says Diana. "I smuggled them in."

"What stones?" asks Ed.

"Six perfect emeralds," says Diana. "They're priceless."

Ed ponders for a moment. "They killed this guy," he says, "for six emeralds."

After talking to Jack's wife, Diana hangs up the phone. She wonders what the wife is doing at Jack's house. "His wife?" asks Ed. "She probably lives there." "Not for years," replies Diana, "They barely speak. Bizarre." She shakes her head. She hands the telephone to Ed. "Go ahead," she says. Ed picks up the receiver. Just then, the Kalijak assistant director walks into the office. "I'm sorry," says the assistant director, "you folks are going to have to leave, now." "We're friends of Bud Herman's," replies Diana, smiling. "Mister Herman sent me over," replies the assistant director. "He wants you to leave - - now." The assistant director opens the office door wider. "Fine," says Diana. "We're going." "What about my cab?" asks Ed. "I'll take you to your car. Let's just get out of here," replies Diana. On the backlot, Diana and Ed walk past the Miss Galaxy exterior set. "Do you know where it is downtown, where they take the cars?" asks Ed. "I've gotta get ahold of Hamid," says Diana, not listening to Ed. "S--t," she adds. "Do you know where to go?" asks Ed again. "No, I don't know where to go. I don't know what I'm doing," says Diana, again failing to pay attention to Ed's side of the conversation. "We're going to find my car," says Ed, reminding her. "Please," he adds. "Would you help me, please? Just a little more?" asks Diana. "No!" says Ed. "I've gotta go home. No more! I've got problems of my own to deal with!" "How do you think I feel?" asks Diana. "You're all I've got!"
