I hate you.

The thought of you touching me makes me nauseous.

You revolting, ugly little man.

It's not good enough.

It's not good enough.

I will tell you what's not good enough, you worm.

You undo those pants this second, do you hear me?

I want those undone now.

Take those pants down.

Now, you get on your knees this minute.

You see this shoe? Look at it. I want it clean. It is filthy, filthy, filthy.

a maggot. Do you know that?

You're a maggot and you're scum.

You're a completely worthless, ugly, ugly little man.

You are so ugly, I can hardly bear to look at you.

No.

No, it's not working.

Not real enough!

What did you say?

Not real enough.

Not real.

Oh, God.

I'll give you real.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

You just sit there.

Oh.

Oh, yes. You just sit right there.

Yes, baby.

Oh, now you're going.

Shh.

Oh, baby. What the doctor wants. Maybe if I just. Oh, no.

We're going to have a lot of fun. Oh, yes.

You just wait.

Oh, my God. Oh, what are you going to do?

Oh, my God. Right there. Oh, yes. Oh,

yes. Where are we going?

We're going to go for a little ride. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

Yes.

And then when everybody gets here for work...

I'll take a dead one.

How do we start with the auction?

They are dull.

Dull? They like pizzaz.

They like pizzaz?

Why don't you come to France?

You know, I dream about you every night.

Ah, vous êtes amoureux de ma banque.

You would tell a Frenchman about love?

You think I could put money first?

Oh, monsieur, you're jeopardizing our relationship.

Are you sure there's nothing of interest in this auction?

Emeralds. Lots 92 and 156.

Your usual bid?

Whatever it takes.

Oh, je vous adore.

I'm so much in love.

Je m'excuse.

J'ai droit à mon allé.

Bye-bye.

Great, full house.

Your attention please.

Train 53 is now arriving from San Diego on track six.

This was the last call for Amtrak Trace 37, departing at 9.25 p.m., now boarding

through Gate Letter C.

Excuse me, do you have a pay phone?

No, we don't.

Do you have any phone?

Yeah.

Do you think you could call me a cab, please?

Phone's just for customers.

You want a drink?

No.

Like I said, phone's just for customers.

How about I buy him a drink?

Do you have the number for a yellow cab?

You got a cigarette?

The scene's in the back, pal.

The page has been ripped out.

I don't know, lady. You'll have to call information.

That's too cold.

Lady, don't miss style.

I need a cab myself.

I need change.

I'll hold your water. That'll be treatable for the beers.

Hey!

Miss, this guy's partner just pinched your bag.

What?

Jesus.

Hey, hey!

What is she, nuts? Those guys are going to kill her.

You need a ride?

Come right down. Fucking wallet.

Come on.

Come on.

What? I got something. I got the guy's wallet. I thought I might help you guys

out.

Get out.

What do we tell J.B.? There's only one thing to tell J.B.

The truth.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

William B.

Brickman.

Might have been a total loss, huh?

If he's involved.

If she's the dog.

We'll find out soon enough.

Why I went after them, what I would do with a gun, that sort of stuff.

And why did you help me?

Bought me a beer.

Oh, right.

Watch your straight.

Um, there's a diner up there on the right. I can meet you there.

Sure, I don't mind.

Actually, I live about four blocks up on Emerson 601.

If you're sure you don't mind.

Um, I just want to, um, I mean, I appreciate

everything you did.

I'm not saying it very well.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Will Rickman.

Alex Kanoff.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah.

Um, say, you wouldn't like to go get a cup of coffee, would you?

I know this is a mundane question, but what do you do?

Nothing at the moment.

What kind of work are you out of?

Demolition.

As in explosive? Isn't that kind of dangerous?

You're not very good at this, are you?

Having coffee?

Oh, small talk, flirtation.

Seduction.

I'm not seducing anybody.

Of course you're not.

I am.

Thank you.

Why do I get the feeling you're trouble?

Don't you like that in a woman?

I should take you home.

You can try.

She's not wearing any rings.

She's just living in the mood with a kiss. There ain't no

doubt about it.

You're going down.

Not against her will.

She's asking for danger. But she's in it for the win.

Blinging as you fall.

You're going down, down, down.

You should sense the danger coming. Catch your dog.

You're a hero in the mail.

Or you're a fool that she's gone for.

There ain't no...

You're

Fall asleep?

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

Oh, that's okay.

I'm enjoying myself.

You have no tattoos.

Not to pain.

Really?

Maybe you've just, um, never had a properly ride.

I'll have to do something about that.

Oh, hey.

Hey.

Yeah, Harry.

Yeah? Yeah.

In what way?

How many ways are there?

Three.

Talk with your mouth full.

Didn't anybody teach you manners?

Alex? Alex?

Mr.

Rickman, you okay?

I'm fine, Jack.

I noticed your mailbox down.

Yeah, I had a rough night.

Take good care.

Yeah.

Did you

enjoy

your work, Mr. Rickman?

I did.

And you haven't worked since the MacArthur Hotel.

D.O.T. pulled my card.

It's under review count for standard procedure.

Mr. Rickman, do you recognize these photographs?

Yes, it's the people who were in the MacArthur Hotel.

It's the mother and child who were living in the basement of the MacArthur

Hotel who were subsequently crushed to death by 500,000 tons of steel and

concrete. I doubt that.

Excuse me, what did you say?

The building was imploded.

One would have to assume that death was instantaneous.

Oh, that makes it okay.

There was a permit.

I came in and did a job.

Yes, we've seen.

And personally, you don't care?

Do you care, Mr. Rickman?

Or doesn't it matter as long as things blow up?

and you have a permit.

Mr. Rickman, judging from your career choices, not to mention your

recreational activities, motorcycle racing, skydiving... Those are crimes.

Ever try golf?

Yeah, it's boring.

Really?

I wonder if the golfers on our jury will think so.

Well, if that's your case, Counselor... We'll be sure to exclude them at

selection. Better try to exclude parents, orphans, widows.

Objection.

Mr. Rickman, isn't it true that you have no regard for human life?

You mean, like if a plane full of lawyers crashed, would I be upset?

No.

No, I would not.

I'm not through with questioning.

The records show the counsel was not complete with questioning, please.

Talk to me, Will.

Okay.

You listen here.

You know that crack he made about the golfers? That was his way of saying,

your client is going to bury himself.

Will, boy, you make a lousy witness.

Why do you do that?

I like tobacco.

It's a safety check, so you don't light up with one hand while the other's

holding something that can go off.

Well, you know, for someone who's so damn careful, you were pretty reckless

back there.

Come on, he was twisting my words.

That's his job.

Now, I gave him plenty of room because that is exactly what's going to come up

at your criminal trial.

You must understand, these deaths were politically incorrect.

And the city is hot to trot to convict somebody.

Now, I know you think what happened is on trial here, but it's not. You are.

And one picture of you that can be easily drawn is that you're someone with

a death wish.

Well, look, now, we've got to show them another side.

You got to talk about your parents.

Let's leave them out of this.

You don't care about the house they left you?

What's that got to do with anything?

Well, the circuit court just left a lien on it.

The McCarthy development went belly up, Chapter 11.

You may be their best chance of collecting.

I'll burn it down.

Oh, God damn it.

I don't want to hear that kind of talk.

Now, look, I may be able to get the... Judgment set aside so you can sell it,

pay for your legal fees, living expenses, and whatnot.

I'm not selling that house. I didn't do anything wrong.

Oh, you think that gives you some kind of protective coating, like Teflon?

Now, Will, your choice of sports aside, most people don't know anyone that

volunteers for Beirut, let alone clears minds.

Well, that goes against me that I was in the service.

Well, that depends. Were you serving your country, or were you just getting

off?

Now look, Will, we both know you didn't do anything wrong.

That doesn't change the fact that innocent people are dead. Someone was

negligent.

This is a list of, well,

psychiatrists.

Shrinks? Yeah. I appreciate that.

Will? You got to talk to somebody.

Is that a professional opinion?

Professional opinion?

Hey, hey, you know what my professional opinion is? You're someone with a severe

attitude problem. And if you don't change it, a jury's going to change it.

I know it was the first time after so many years, but it's more than that.

For the first time, I felt so... so protected.

It was just overwhelming.

But then I... I left, and I got so scared because I did something, you

know, that I never do.

I gave him my address. I showed him where I live.

I trusted him.

Well...

I, um... I ran a check on him before I got home.

But you know what happened?

When I got home, I wasn't blocked anymore.

And I wrote and I wrote.

And I finished.

What do you think?

A life story is not an aesthetic.

It's a tool to enable you to look at the events of your life so you can

accept them.

Please, come on.

You could always publish.

Several patients have.

You know I can't do that.

Look.

Do you see this?

I have one contact on the inside.

If this thing goes off, I'll be lucky if I have five minutes to get out with the

clothes on my back.

Do you think I like living like this?

have i been seeing you how long does it seem like for fucking ever i still don't

know if you believe any of this ever happened does that matter yes damn it

that matters why because i've never been able to tell anyone that's why no i just

i thought that that if i could just go back and tell somebody the whole story

that they would they'd understand why is that important

What else?

I didn't start out this way.

And I didn't want to become a... A what?

I'm crying.

There's your review.

You could never do that before.

I was just at your place and the workers signed for us. What do you mean workers?

Wasn't it okay to let them sign?

Yeah.

Yeah.

So what's the deal?

J.B. will be in tonight.

What do we want with this guy?

Maybe use him to bring in the dove.

We know where she is.

J.B. doesn't want her damaged.

Yet.

So? Be careful.

What?

You think she'd kill herself?

Wouldn't you?

There's nothing here.

Yeah, nothing but her fingerprints and his jizz.

And so she screwed the guy. Well, you know, maybe she felt like it. No.

Not her.

Not the dove.

Hey!

Red Bronco, coming at you.

Contain immediately. Do not allow contact with the...

Did you page me?

Mary, is that you? You're still... Alive?

Surprised? I found out late.

You've been under surveillance.

They matched your prints this morning.

Recon? One unit.

ETA. They're already in L.A. J.B.'s on his way.

Could they be recovery?

Mayor, the whole division is changing with the Eastern Block.

Is there a chance?

No. You're worth more dead than alive.

That's not true.

I can't spend it if you're dead.

You're going to send me my file, aren't you?

Mary, you promised.

I've got to go.

Mary!

What

are

you doing here? I was on my way to your place.

Why? Some guys were taking my house apart. I got the impression they were

friends of yours.

Did they let you go?

I got away.

Don't stop. We're being followed.

It's a garbage truck.

In front.

Nobody good follows from behind.

Pull a U-turn. I'll prove it to you.

What about cops?

We don't shake these guys, we may want to get arrested.

Who are you?

Some of the past.

Just caught up.

Now what?

We wait.

Oh, we wait.

What, you got this whole thing figured out?

For the past five years, I've had to live this way. Five years?

You almost get used to it.

I'll need a clear head.

You're a regular Boy Scout.

Girl Scout.

And I was a Girl Scout.

Oh, yeah? What are you now?

Runaway.

This family wants her back.

Hey.

Hey!

I got some questions.

I'm gonna need some real good answers.

Okay.

Okay.

Hey.

Hey, baby.

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

Why do you say that?

What's going on?

I had a visit from some very interesting people looking for you.

What in the hell have you got yourself into? I can't protect you from this ton

of guys.

I'm scared, Will.

In fact, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if my phone wasn't already tapped.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

What's going on?

Will?

You shouldn't be drinking.

I need a clear head.

My government just tore my house apart. That right?

The dirty work is usually done by subcontractors.

The NSA picks up the bills.

National Security Agency?

Yeah, right.

What was it you did for him?

It was practical, remember?

Yeah, you sold your body.

I served my country.

Yeah, on your back.

No, on my knees.

And later on, standing up.

You'd be surprised how many powerful men secretly like to be dominated.

Any more questions?

Yeah, one.

Why'd you go home with me?

I didn't want to be alone.

I wanted to be with you.

There was something very personal to me in that bag, and I can't believe

it when you helped me get it back.

I am really, really sorry about all this, but...

Not about that night

Let

me

take a shower Excuse

me

You want to come in?

I just need a towel.

Now, let me get this straight.

The people you're working for are trying to kill you.

Huh? Was working for.

And leaving is against the rules.

They're a covert sector of the NSA using their status for illegal activities.

But I know too much, and one of them just won't let go.

J.B.

People in my house, they were talking about him like he was their boss.

Oh, he is.

You want to know J.B.? That's J.B.

He loved to test me.

One time when my loyalty was in question, he needed to be convinced.

That's when I left.

It's so hard to believe.

You got a light?

In my backpack.

You see what an effective information can have?

It's out there on all of us.

What are you doing with this?

Like I said, I was scared.

I had to make sure you weren't one of them.

I still have connections.

Yeah, I see.

The clippings of your court case I got from the library.

You had to get security clearance to go to Lebanon. The rest was in your

military file.

I had to check you out. Try and look at it from my point of view.

I don't give a goddamn about your point of view.

It's contagious, isn't it?

Paranoia, conspiracy.

It's not my world. It's theirs.

I don't want either one.

You have no choice.

There's always a choice.

Oh, really?

Did you have a choice when the hotel owner hid the squatter problem?

Or when your family went head-on to a drunk driver when they were picking you

up from summer camp?

How much choice did you have in being an orphan?

What? Shit happens.

There's still a choice. What do you do about it? Oh, really? And what did you

do about it, huh? Well, I didn't fucking sell myself.

Fuck you!

What do you want me to do about it? I'll say I'm sorry!

You're going to break in there to steal a copy of a book you're never going to

publish.

You could put somebody in jeopardy. Someone who's helped me a lot.

You don't have to do this.

I know.

You wait here, and, um...

Watch the elevator.

It's taking too long. Let's go.

Just a minute. I got it.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

That's J.B.'s signature.

Come on, we've got to go.

JP!

You should see the look on your face.

Shit.

All right,

Mary.

I'm good.

You goddamn shot me.

It's okay. If you want to come finish me off, now would be the time to do it.

Because if you don't...

Mary, if you don't come up here, I'm going to come down there.

Because we've got to talk.

Stop that!

What is this all about? Is this about the book?

I read the book, okay?

I mean, you haven't done anything to be ashamed of.

Really, it's my responsibility.

I was the team leader.

I mean, if I would have been doing my job, I would have seen what was

happening to you and I would have understood.

And I would have been able to help you.

And I didn't.

And I'm sorry.

It's my responsibility. It's still my responsibility for Christ's sake.

I'm the one who recruited you, remember?

You know?

I mean, I found you.

And we were a team. We were a goddamn good team. And we can be a team again.

Do you ever think about that?

Do you miss it?

I miss it.

I can't remember.

So look, I mean, I still,

I still love you.

And you know that, don't you?

I've always loved you. I'm always going to love you. There's nothing you can do

to make me stop loving you.

And really,

And I hope you don't resent my bringing it to your attention, but I'm the only

one who can love you.

Here you go.

It's just lice.

Hey!

Hey, thanks. My pleasure. Be safe.

You got a ways to go.

How much farther?

Oh, about 40 miles.

What? I ain't walking 40 miles.

Of course you're not. I've got a car. Come on.

I thought we were going to the mountains.

There's something I want to show you first.

Beautiful bone.

Oh, it's more than that.

The registry can't be traced to me, and nobody knows about it.

You act like all this is normal.

Guess that works in your world.

Yeah, it does.

And what works in your world, huh?

How old are you?

Good night.

Why did you help me that night?

What made you cross that line?

When my family died, I thought it was the lowest point in my life.

Then came to MacArthur Hotel.

I did my own safety checks. I mean, aside from the other ones.

And I heard a sound, and I shined a light, and I saw a rat.

When they pulled my card, it was a relief.

I don't ever want to push the button again.

I guess that's not an answer to your question.

Yes, it is.

We'll be safe here.

Yeah.

I used to wonder about people who

ended up in terrible ways.

How they came to cross that line.

But...

A series of lines, you know, that keep you moved back

until eventually you're lost.

I wanted you to know that I didn't start out this way.

When I finally figured out that the government was paying me shit money for

my expertise, I began to demand extraordinary gifts from the people

I entertained.

But things just kept getting worse, and so I

ran.

What do you want from me?

I have a plan to get away for good.

Well, you seem to have it all worked out. I thought I had, but... I couldn't

leave till I finished that, and then... When I did, I... I

didn't want to go alone.

You're telling me you want company?

Well, what are you gonna do? You can't stay.

Your fingerprints are all over my shrink's office.

I don't know.

I don't know that I care.

Oh, come on.

You don't have a death wish. You have a life wish, like me.

A life wish?

Yeah.

You always smoke when you don't know what to feel.

You don't deal with your anger very well either, do you?

Maybe that's why you've been blowing things up all your life.

Come on, would it be so bad of getting away together?

Is that what it is?

Is it too much for you? Are you disgusted?

Is that what it is?

Do you want what they had?

Why would she kill her daughter?

I don't know, to shut her up. I don't know, but she signed it just like the

one in her freezer. Yeah, but why?

It's all part of some plan she's got to disappear.

The woman, the one in the freezer, the one whose teeth she changed to match her

dental records, she just had the bad luck of looking like her.

Mine was sleeping with it. I don't know what's going on.

I know. I just want out. I just want out.

You forgot to count. Huh?

Your fingers.

Hey, hey, Will. Look, I know you're upset.

But let's just look at the facts.

If you didn't have anything to do with the shrink's death, forensics will bear

you out.

I went by your house the other day.

There's evidence there.

There's evidence here. What are you saying?

You know what I'm saying. You gotta turn yourself in.

No. No way.

Now, Will, Will, now listen to me.

I know you've had a bad couple of years.

And we both know that justice is neither swift nor blind. But you're getting in

real deep here.

It won't work.

The bottom line is that you haven't done anything wrong.

Have you?

That didn't help with the MacArthur Hotel.

Oh, shit.

I don't know what to say.

I mean, I... What else can I do? What do you want from me?

Cash. Cash?

You got cash here?

There's only a couple thousand there. It could be marked. I can't touch that.

Look, man, I got nothing. I got no credit cards, no ID, nothing.

You put me in an extremely awkward position.

Look, there's got to be a million jewels there. Get me 30, 40 grand. Take the

rest. I don't want the rest.

It's Sunday.

The banks are closed.

All right. I, uh... I'm gonna have to make a couple of calls.

Come on in the back. You look like you could use something. Thank you. Thank

you.

Not much of an appetite, huh?

Oh, Francis.

Could you run upstairs and give my wife a hand, please, ma'am?

Why'd you do that?

Oh, I just thought we ought to be alone.

The door. You just unlocked the door.

No, I didn't.

No, no, I just checked it.

No, you didn't. Well, look, this whole thing's making you a little nuts.

I tried to tell you. I tried to. You put me in a real awkward position here.

Rickman, this is an old watch.

It was my father's.

Yeah?

All right.

Let's do this one more time.

Say she has a cabin in the mountains.

Here.

Yes.

And she's there now.

I told you she's dead by now.

You're sure about that?

Mary Ann Curran, designation Dove, known to you as Alex Canis. Are you

sure she's dead, Ricky?

I trip-wired her cabinet.

It'll blow ten seconds after the front door opens. But you don't actually know

for a fact she's dead.

Do you?

No.

You just hope she is, don't you?

Yes.

I mean, you really want her dead.

Yes.

God, Rick, she's really something, isn't she?

Isn't she something?

I mean, she's just got this way about her, doesn't she?

She can really get under your skin.

Rickman?

You wouldn't lie to me, would you?

Sure I would.

That's a good answer.

J.B., take a look at this.

Definitely the ones I traced.

200K. What's the total?

About a million eight.

That's not even half of it. Even if she only got 30 cents on the dollar at the

cleaner.

I want a chemical interrogation. We don't have time, JB. We need him sharp

to navigate.

I'm satisfied with the results. You are?

Yes, I am. I'm not.

Now, according to our friend in there, she could already be dead.

You're not the dove.

She's always got a back door.

We need to move now.

Before she takes flight.

Not yet.

Not until I'm ready.

This is the part where the spy offers the victim a cigarette.

Rickman, in the old days, there used to be an operative whose signature...

was to take a lit cigarette, just like this, and press it against a man's

eyeball with just enough pressure so that without even bending the cigarette,

he could sort of plop and poke it all the way through.

In the old days.

Now, here's the bottom line, Rickman.

I don't say this to many people. I'm going to say it to you.

If we had more time, I mean, I don't know, maybe a couple of days, we could

be friends, you and me.

I mean, I think we could be friends, and I'd like that.

Would you?

But I don't have more time.

God damn it, Rickman, I don't have any more time.

You won't believe the pressure I'm under here.

I mean, that's my problem.

That's your problem.

Well, Rickman, our machine tells us you were telling the truth.

about where the dove is.

But you're telling a lie about whether or not you want her dead.

Now, it's possible that you're just having mixed emotions.

It's also possible, and this is what troubles me, it's possible you're simply

lying about everything.

It's just I don't have time to conduct a thorough interrogation.

I'm going to have to take some shortcuts.

What do you want?

I want the truth, Rickman.

About the location of the dove. I told you.

Yes, you did, didn't you?

What do you want from me?

Rickman, I want you to convince me.

I only got you, J.B. Try and pick this up.

Damn. You're wrong about the doctor.

Cat's cradle's actually my signature.

Fortez, break his finger.

All right, now, Richmond, next is your arm, then your leg. Do you understand?

You behave yourself.

Give him that.

Well, it's the first left after the county line. Is that right?

Is that right?

Yeah.

That must be Santa Rosa Creek Road.

We'll be coming right up.

All right. Stop the light.

Stop here. Stop here.

Did you see that, JB?

You're not going to stop her?

Come on, come on, come on. What's the delay?

He said ten seconds.

Nine.

Eight. Alex!

Let's move.

Let's go.

Boo.

Donner.

J.B.

Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're hurt.

You got it? You want

me to do it? No.

Think about leaving it all behind, but actually doing it.

God, you're beautiful.

You are beautiful.

I want to know everything about you.

Everything. Everything you love.

Food, music, anything.

What's your favorite color?

Blue. Not yours.

Blue.

There you see I knew we had something in common
