Why would somebody want to kill my mother? I don't understand.

I don't have to talk to you.

Consider it in your best interest.

Of course you didn't kill your mother, but I had to find you, right?

Robert, I need the list. I need Rami.

The people.

So quiet.

Reminds me of church.

Yeah.

Right to the frozen sticks.

That's weird.

We're getting paid to do a job. Let's get it on.

Cooper will love it.

Amen, brother.

You owe me.

Your husband borrowed 50 ,000 bucks.

Yes, sir.

You're in a lot of trouble, lady.

Look, I've come here to make some kind of deal. Did you bring some cash?

Because the only way we're going to work this out, Mrs. Jacobs, is if you bring

me cash.

I have no cash. Yes, yes, yes. That's the only way.

And I want you to go out and I want you to find it. I have no cash. Then find

some cash.

Look, I learned the hard way.

Huh? You don't think that I just fell into all of this, do you? You gotta pay

your debt.

I don't have money.

Do you know that that is exactly what your late husband said to me when he

in here to borrow it and then scrawled his name on a note? Now, we made a deal.

It wasn't a very good deal, not for him, not for you, but a deal is a deal. That

was five years ago. What do you want me to do now?

Pay up or hand over the business.

Oh, look. I wish there was another way.

Ready?

Apply a little heat and you get results, I always say.

All right.

Thank you, guys.

Keep in touch.

times what my husband originally owed.

How can I stop?

Thank you.

Well, there should be no problem.

Really?

You want this Mr. Cooper off your back?

I think I might be able to help you.

Simple as that.

How much is it going to cost me?

No cost.

Nothing is free in this world.

Well, perhaps you don't think so at the moment.

Everybody has his price.

No.

Not everyone.

There's got to be a catch somewhere.

If it's not the money, then it has to be something else.

My name is not Cooper.

Not everything has clauses attached to it.

Oh, and by the way, with me, you won't have to sign a bit of paper.

That's it?

I'll call you.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

Interesting. Very interesting.

Well, that about dug it?

These books seem to be in order.

Well, yeah, I tried to tell you that.

Now we just need the real ones.

I beg your pardon.

Come on, Mr. Cooper, you're dealing with the United States government here.

We are thorough, if nothing else.

I checked your bank deposits over the last couple of years. Upon perusal, some

interesting patterns emerge.

Regular weekly deposits of $9 ,999 in your personal bank account.

Obviously, you're aware of the law which requires banks to report deposits in

excess of $10 ,000.

What people forget is that we can subpoena any bank record we care to.

Heidi Brahms. Name strike a bell?

Yeah, she's my niece.

She informed an associate of mine that you recently loaned her some money.

$30 ,000.

Cash. Quite generous, I might add.

I mean, all of this is quite interesting, considering your records

business operating at a loss for the past six months.

Just how do you explain that, Mr. Cooper?

Julia Jacobs, you have been to the well too many times, Mr. Cooper. You have

been squeezing her.

It is time somebody did the same to you.

Now, about this ABC Corporation, I mean, let's get serious here.

Will Hyatt, even had one of his men go by Cooper's house and told him that it

was a hiding place.

That's how he spotted the Andy Warhols in Cooper's living room.

I can't believe it's over.

Well, he won't bother you again.

can assure you of that.

Mr. Cooper's greed for money is exceeded only by his fear of losing it.

May I make this one thing?

How is it that a man like you gets any design of work?

I just think into it.

Certainly doesn't pay the bills.

Tell me, what do you get out of it?

Oh, that is a long story.

I've got plenty of time.

Unless you have to go off and rescue some other person.

There's always another person to rescue.

You're avoiding my question.

Yes, I am.

All right.

Time to make a stand.

I beg your pardon?

You can't do something for me and expect me not to do anything.

I can't? No, you can't.

So I suggest that you and I have dinner together.

Dinner.

You and me, eat some food, get to know each other better.

I'm a fabulous cook. Yeah, I'm sure. Of course, if you'd rather go out, but the

bill is on me.

You're going to move down for tomorrow night?

Yeah.

I do know this little...

Japanese place with shabu -shabu and ice sake. It's pretty horrible, but if you

care to join... You sure?

Yes, yes, I'm sure.

I think I'm sure.

Good.

Are you really sure about this? Yes, I'm absolutely sure.

So, what, um... Shall I pick you up at your place?

You don't have to do this, you know.

I know I don't have to do it, but I really would like to take you out to

tomorrow night, Julia. Thank you very much. In that case, I'll be waiting.

Fine. What do you say, 8 .30?

8 .30 is fine.

I'll see you then.

You sure?

Yeah, I am sure.

Watch yourself. Watch yourself.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

What do you suppose bias is, sir?

People with a sense of humor?

I need... Forget it.

You couldn't possibly know what I was about to say.

Genesis.

News of observation, coupled with the fact that this is the third time you've

asked me for the names on that list.

Yeah, well, you were there.

Nine years ago.

This is our first chance to go back in, Robert.

Control, I don't want to know about this.

I'm not part of it anymore.

Don't try to shake it, Robert. It's like a second skin.

Sectors change.

So do the players.

Yeah, but not the rules.

Years of observation. That's a new cologne, isn't it?

I've got control. Just leave me out. It's all right. I can't.

Oh.

I'm not kidding.

I can't tell you that. You're considered persona non grata. Hands off.

This is hands off. What about the list?

I'll think about it.

Robert. Don't push me.

I wasn't pushing.

I don't have to talk to you.

Consider it in your best interest. My best interest?

You are anything but in my best interest.

What do you want from me? Do you really think that I'm crazy enough to kill

Julia because she dried up?

Are you?

I had nothing to do with it, which is what I told the cops and they were

satisfied.

Well, I am not satisfied.

All right.

All right.

I was tied to my desk all day yesterday.

In class of that.

Stuffed shirts you dumped on me. The IRS poke.

Here, look.

I got enough forms and papers here to recycle a forest.

You had to take a break sometime, didn't you? Do you ever know one of those guys

to eat?

I think they just go in for a lube job and then a change of parts every couple

of months.

You could have hired somebody.

I didn't kill Julia.

I'm going to double check your story.

Be my guest.

I'm sorry that Julia's dead.

She was okay.

It wasn't her fault that her husband got in over his head.

Ah!

So you were close to the lady.

Can't you see it's over and done?

A friend of your mother's.

Where is he?

Why do they want to know where I am all the time?

Well, they may just want to ask you some more questions, that's all.

Have you seen the piece in there with the police?

Yes, well, our parts have prosecution.

That doesn't explain much.

Nobody's explaining anything.

Police take you to the morgue to identify someone?

Yes.

More times than I care to remember.

When I was little, my mother told me the police were people to come to when

things were bad.

My mother needed help and she didn't get it.

I'm sorry that wasn't very fair.

What is it?

Come on, keep walking.

What's wrong? What's happening?

Keep walking.

What are you doing?

Look, you're very kind and all that, but I really am going to be fine.

I just want you to be careful, too.

You said someone was following me.

Why?

I don't know yet.

I didn't see anyone.

One never does. That's the idea.

Sorry, what is all this equipment? What is it?

I'm a film student at NYU.

I was out on the island shooting some stuff after I saw my mother yesterday.

You saw your mother yesterday?

Stopped by to borrow her car.

She gave me the keys and I was bringing them back this morning when... So you

only saw her for a few months?

Yeah, just... It was long enough for her to give me a hard time about the hat I

was wearing.

You know how mothers and daughters are.

Luffy took mine and gave me one of hers.

So... When you left her, you were wearing your mother's hat.

Where are you?

Mom?

And you left yours behind?

Yes.

Now, tell me exactly what you were doing yesterday.

I told you, I was shooting footage for my video.

Pictures. What?

Pack a bag. You're leaving.

Do as you're told.

Doesn't really matter.

A man who killed your mother was desperately looking for something that

thought she had.

She didn't.

So now he is coming after you.

So now we are leaving. Go.

I don't understand what my video has to do with what happened to my mother.

Whoever did it ransacked your mother's office, looking, I think, for a

videotape. Now, you were shooting footage just before you stopped off to

your mother.

She was killed, obviously, very shortly after.

You're saying that the killer thought my mother was me.

Well, I won't believe that. What about that guy, Cooper?

He had nothing to do with it, Valerie, believe me.

I'd like to believe you, but I don't know who you are or what you do. What

doing at the moment is to try and keep you out of danger.

Well, if that means keeping me cooped up here, you'd forget it. Valerie.

Come here.

Come on.

Come sit down.

Now, why don't you take me through this videotape, and perhaps we can then find

out why you're in danger.

What were you shooting just before you saw your mother?

Just after this.

My video was short, so I went out and shot some extra footage of people on the

street just going about their business.

Nothing in particular, just backdrop stuff.

Street performers, flamethrowers, things like that.

Hold it.

Roll back.

How far?

Freeze it.

That's the Deer Theory building, isn't it?

Yes.

You look like you've just seen a ghost.

Officers, ma 'am, we'd like you to come to the precinct for a few questions.

Well, you know, uh, anyone can get one of those.

Look, lady, you told the lieutenant you would be holed up here.

If you don't believe me, why don't you give him a call?

The names are Webster and Cook.

Uh, I'm sorry, I'm a little jumpy. I'm gonna go get my bag. I'll be right back.

I am telling you, Zahn is responsible.

How about the word that he's been buried dead for some time now?

1962, Tunisia.

14 Greek scholars kidnapped by a terrorist group led by a man called

Ransom paid right in the middle of a gauntlet of police and National Guard.

In the ensuing firefight, 14 first killed and Zahn gone.

1972, West Germany.

A box.

full of children, is blasted by a terrorist called Zahn.

He threatens the remaining children, unless a ransom is paid, and certain

Lebanese criminals are released.

Result.

Ransom paid, criminals released, and Zahn gone.

Robert, what are you fishing for?

Your support.

A friend of mine cropped his path with a video camera.

He now wants to add her.

To his statistics.

The latest of which would appear to be this building.

And how many of your people were inside?

I know damn well how many. Three.

All blown to kingdom come.

Including two innocent workers who happened to be there at the time.

And, uh... Your crossover, was he there?

Still under wraps, the lady.

Huh?

Which means that Zahn is going to have to try again, doesn't he? You don't know

Zahn. I do.

Look at the tape. Maybe.

Analyze it.

Robert, I need the list. And I need Zahn.

Just tell me something out of interest. You know, for my future edification.

What would constitute proof of his existence?

His scalp would be nice.

I can't believe this.

The problem with anonymous tips.

For everyone that pants out, we get another ten wackos. Yeah, but...

When is this going to end? How is it enough that he's dead?

Ms. Jacobs, I am truly sorry.

Now for your ride back.

No, I'm going to... I could use some friendship.

Take the walk. Thanks, Jessica.

All right,

but be careful, ma 'am.

I have to find you, right?

It's a shame that they have to run down every tip of it.

I believe you have something I want.

You've got till 11 o 'clock if you want to see her again.

Bring the tape to her mother's studio.

It'll be like old home week, Robert.

I need the videotape back again.

Don't have the tape. Get it.

Here's the list you wanted. Genesis.

I can't get tape.

Control, Zahn is alive.

That tape is the proof.

But he can't let anyone see it.

So unless I deliver it, the girl who shot the footage is going to be killed.

The tape has gone up the ladder. I can't help it.

Are you telling me the company is protecting Don?

You know I don't have the answer to that. Even if I did, I... What?

I do understand. Thank you.

Robert.

Haven't you forgotten something?

Where's the girl?

Where's the tape?

I have no animosity towards you. I just want to protect my privacy.

Why?

Because there are so many people who'd like to see you dead?

A successful businessman steps on a lot of toes on the way up.

What's the matter, McCall? Disgusted?

We're cut from the same cloth.

Where is she?

Oh, she's around.

She's tied to a bomb.

I'm glad you were punctual.

You haven't got much time.

Relief. Be real.

Relief, sir.

And you'll have the tape.

There are no copies.

Give me the tape and I'll relieve her.

Then you'd kill us both.

I told you I have no animosity toward you.

Only respect.

Admiration.

I work hard.

I pay a high price.

I am a civilized man. We are civilized men, you and I.

There are a lot of innocent people dead because of your civilized actions.

Innocent people?

On my stock and trade.

You say there are no other copies of the tape.

I have to trust you.

And you have to trust me.

So, you tell me where the tape is.

I tell you how to disarm the bomb.

We part friends.

Fair enough?

Whatever I was.

Whatever I have done in the past is past.

We understand each other, don't we?

We understand each other.

The tape is in the elevator.

Pull the red wire.

You've got three minutes.

the call.

Those are the movements.

All right.

Now keep very still.

He lied.

Well, you saved my life.

I'm very grateful.

So is it true what he said?

That the two of you are more or less the same?

I don't know.

But you didn't tell me the truth.

I always tell the truth.

I just didn't tell you all of it.

You didn't tell me any of it.

It was my life at stake.

Didn't I have a right to know who you are and what you do?

Did my mother know?

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Oh.

Jonathan.

Remember Pamplona?

Um... Gerhard Reichman. I'm in after that.

That's right, you left.

Well, I, uh... the most miraculous five days you ever heard of. Susan, join me.

And we went to see the Bulls run.

And I forgot who I was, Robert. I forgot what I was really there for.

I almost signed up for Matador School.

I thought I could run away from all of it.

And Susan ran away from me.

Two days later, I was back in Berlin chasing phantoms again.

I never could watch another bullfight.

I guess I haven't missed anything.

We missed everything.
