  2. Nick and Gus coming out of the local police department where they had learned about Roxy’s troubled past........this was filmed in Carmel Valley, I lived in the area at the time and got to meet Michael Douglas. The road in the background is Carmel Valley Rd, but unsure after all these years exactly where in town.
