Doctor Mayhew has gone the wake up. Their performance is over. Yes,
yes, of course I have sorry, mister palla opera is not one of
my special likes. Which one? Was this a marriage of figure by Mozart?
Oh? Yes, of course. Well, at any rate, Don
Miguel's wife seems to have enjoyed it. Is Donia. Maria is a remarkable
woman, doctor meant to save and enjoy beautiful things. And I might comment
for your particular benefit, mister Palladin, but Don Miguel is a remarkable man.
Wait a minute, eh, what is someone behind the curtain? Don
Miguel, look out, Doctor may went to Wika. He needs treatment at
once. We'll have to get him out of here. Yes, any news
to the police. There'll be no trouble. It was a player case of
self defense. The man attacked your husband and shot down lucky Don Miguel was
armed. Yes, is he always armed? I do not know. Did
you see the man who attacked your husband? Of course I did you know
him? No, man looked very surprised the way things turn out? Doesn't
doctor, make you hurry? Don you? Maria has done Miguel ever been
attacked like this before? No? Yes, yes, yes he has.
There is no need to lie about it. It's an insane blood feud that
has cost many lives already. This was bound to happen, he sailed tonight.
They will not feel another time blood feud. Perhaps I can help.
It is not a tragic operas, and you're in this case that is very
doctor. How is he's resting quietly? You may go thro well? Now,
don you? Maria has done you? Maria, yes, give him
my card. This is not dome, have gone give it to him?
Please see how will well? The wound itself isn't too serious, but I
don't like the looks of it. Why doctor, what's the problem? There
was poison on the knife blade, nothing familiar, a plant substance of some
sort. The question is will don Miguel live? Yes, for perhaps a
week? Doctor Mayhew has told me I am dying. That is why I
sent for you. After I've read your card. My wife has told you
of a been betta. Yes, now she did. What do you want
revenge? No? My task for you is much more personal. I want
you to escort my body safely to my home in Santo Masino and deliver it
there to my wife, Donya Marrio. Isn't she here in San Francisco?
I sent her home this morney, I wish to die unobserved. Someone once
commented you were a remarkable man. Do not misconstrue my sentimentality. The vendetta
against our family includes a threat a mutilation of the body, in which case
the bestiality is complete. I would prefer that it did not happen to my
body. Will you take the job all right? One thousand dollars and expenses.
We have a bargain good. You'll be paid by Maria. Have one

the rested ratlers and bloa dirt. Oh, go on, inspections over.
Let's go, Timmins. Yeah, yeah, this is the only spot
of green we've seen, mister Palladin. Loma Verdi's hardly a paradise. I
don't like it. I can't say I like it much myself, But we
won't be here long. At least they can water the horses sooner we can

in your party? What are you waiting for? First you must tell me
with another burial. The money must be hidden until certain arrangements are made.
Replace the lead and come down. I warn you any false move will shorten
your life, and will I show you a much more unpleasant death. And

and the corpses in the coach. Take a look. You see just shit
where you are, mister, and start ex cleaning. That is the body
in the coach. The coffin up here is filled with stolen money. What
are you trying to pull mister? You don't think I'm telling the truth.
No, it's an easy way to prove it. Come on up here and
open the coffin. All right, I will here, give me your hand.
All right, Well, i'll be what's your name? Farley? Mister
Farley? There's a lady in Santamisino waiting for the body of her husband,
whereupon she will pay me my fee. I need your help. What you
just got to do with me? I thought you might want to get credit
for the lady's arrest if she's a part of the plan. What about all
this money? What do we do with that? The Colonel in command of
the third Cavalry at Nagalis will sign for it and escort it back to San
Francisco. All right, we'll turn the money over to him and start back.
But how do we know if this lady is guilty or not? Suppose
you leave that up to me, mister Farley surprised to see me. I
didn't wish to disturb the servants. You see, My errand is quite personal.
Yes, my husband send word before he would you like us to bring
the coffin in this way? Anywhere? Excuse me? All right, mister
Fanny, I don't like this paladin. This is mister Farley. Done,
Maria, Senora Rojas? How do your name? Do you do? I
will get your money. Don't you think you should make certain that I have
fulfilled my part of the bargain? Yes, you're right, opened the parley.
Yeah, that is my husband. I will get your money. What
do you think, Fary? Not kilty? No woman could be that calm.
She thought her husband was alive and then show him dead. When you're
satisfied she had nothing to do with him? Yeah, all right, wait
for me at the stage, coach. Don't be too long. Where is
your month? Senor? There is a drink for him in the kitchen.
You hid your surprise very well, and your grief. I got no grief
for Miguel. I do not know how he died, but I can never
thank you enough for giving me my freedom. My life with him was a
night lass. I can believe you. I saw it in your face.
Goodbye, don't you Mary? Wait your money? No, I'd rather not
please. It gives me pleasures to pay for my errors, especially since the
city last minute. Very well, should you come again to San Francisco.
I hope you'll come with me to the opera. Oh ah, doctor Mayhew.
I got your message, mister Paladin, but I'm afraid I can't give
you too much time. I'm a very busy man. All of us are
hi. Here comes another busy man. Hey to Wilkins, the Undertaker.
Why, dear mister Paladin, what can I do for you? Sit down?
First of all, thank you, doctor Wilkins. Well, Caladin,
what is it you want? I'd like to order a coffin. A coffin
for whom, for whichever of you, gentlemen makes the first move. This
is a darrener in case identification escapes you. Hey boy, get me a
policeman. On second thought, get me two policemen. One apiece. Oh,
big story in papers, Dr Mayh or mister Wilkins all in jail where
they belong? Hey boy, here we are? Where are we? San
Francisco Opera premiere tonight, Hey boy, I want you to take this over
to the opera house. Buy me a box. Oh now, what's the
matter with you? Last time you go to opera, man get killed,
