Where is she?

Where the hell is she gone? You crazy?

Meredith was McCall's recruit. He still
has this image of her. The way she was

years ago.

I met a man.

I was terrified of him.

You killed Meredith.

Shotgun her beyond recognition.

I will personally hand you to hell.

Now, Jimmy, get on the line. Wait on the
line.

Big black and evil.

Honey. You look terrific.

I guess I tripped you too good.

All the day in the sun, I would have
fried my brains.

I missed you guys. How are you?

What's with the little pickpocket? I
thought we threw him out for good.

Benji? I didn't want to. It's part of
the entertainment.

Would you like a souvenir?

How was the trip, huh? Fine, Johnny,
fine, just fine.

Ah, business looks good.

Couldn't be better.

Last night we were turning people away.
Not too many, I hope.

Come on up.

Let's talk in the office.

See, while I was down there, I set up an
offshore company. We run half the take

through the company's books, and we file
tax returns just like everybody else.

Now we're honest citizens, and we've got
something to show our uncle.

I knew you couldn't just lie in the sun.
You got it.

Listen, I gotta go keep an eye on Benji.

Make sure his magic act doesn't get out
of hand.

I'll see you later.

Late dinner?

offshore. Johnny, you're on a plane.

First thing tomorrow.

Hey.

What the hell is this?

Where's the rest of the money?

What?

There's 25 grand here, maybe.

Where's the rest of it?

You're talking. It's got to be in there.

I saw Meredith put 40 grand in there
every night.

There's supposed to be 800 grand in this
safe.

Well, there isn't.

Frank, don't let Meredith leave.

Get her up here right now.

Go ahead, say it.

Or am I dreaming?

There's nobody else. She's the only one
besides me who's got the combination.

I don't believe this.

Three years.

Tony, what's wrong?

Look inside that safe.

My God, where's the money?

You don't think I took it?

Tony, I wouldn't be that crazy.

Then who the hell did take it?

Your little friend, Benji? I don't know.
I've got no idea.

Tony, you've got to believe me.

Don't tell me what I've got to believe.
I'm out 800 grand here.

Go on.

You better go home.

Let Johnny and me try to figure this
out.

Go on.

Tony, you know I'm telling you the
truth.

want me to do?

Get the money back.

And what if I can't find it? You'll find
it.

She knows how I run this business.

So do you.

You're a Philistine, Robert.

Just because I don't want to spend two
and a half hours watching a couple of

characters rush around the stage, semi
-naked, abusing each other.

I don't call that theatre.

Then what is it?

I don't know what it is.

I'll tell you what it isn't. It isn't a
play.

No plot, no character, no life, no
passion. Hello, Robert McCall.

Hello, Robert.

This is Meredith.

Are you still there?

Yeah, I'm listening.

Robert, please, I need your help.

You are? What sort of trouble?

The man I work for, Tony Costa.

I think he's trying to kill me.

Are you at home, and is home still the
same place?

Yes. Why don't you lock all the doors?

Don't let anybody in.

I'll be there as soon as I can.

Oh, bless you, Robert.

That was Meredith Browning.

He's in some kind of trouble.

Mentioned a threat.

Robert, wait.

I have no choice.

This has nothing to do with my personal
relationship with Meredith. She was my

operative, under my protection.

Come on, McCall, let's not play games.
You know, a lot of people might question

your judgment concerning this woman.

Alleywell, this is my operation. I've
got a large time. Where is she? I know

she's bloody well gone. Where the hell
is she gone?

The LOA picked her up this morning.
Right now they're learning what we want

to learn. You planned this right from
the start, didn't you? Of course I did.

You little bastard!

I was following orders.

The company told me to set up a shadow
plan to make sure S .T. Scott is power.

I must ask you once more, where is she?

She's in the old church of Sandwich
Tale.

Well, I'm going on to her.

And don't you dare try and stop me.

Are you crazy?

You'll blow your own cover.

Southern Control will hear about this.
You're finished, McCall.

Frank, I want the results on this as
soon as possible.

Robert.

Who was she?

Her name was Meredith Browning, she was.

She ran a travel agency for the company.

This wasn't company related.

Alice, can I see you a minute?

Shot and blast to the head.

We got no prints.

She saw it coming. She put her hands up.

Do you know this guy?

Oh, uh... Robert McCall, did you meet
Detective Barry Calloway?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. We've heard your name
mentioned a lot around the headquarters.

What time did you say the victim called
you?

12 .30.

You sure about that?

Yes, I'm sure about that.

When's the last time you saw her?

I don't know.

Three years ago.

Oh, and she just called you up tonight.

Just like that. Just like that. Right
out of the blue.

Barry.

Sorry about that.

It's all right.

Super Tony's job.

Told her to lock the door.

I told her.

One thing I don't understand is that
there are no signs of forced entry.

Do you have any idea?

When she telephoned me, Alice, she said
that the man she was working for, a man

called Tony Costa, had threatened to
kill her.

Check into it, Robert.

So will I.

So, what happened?

I didn't find the money.

What? I turned the place upside down.
Nothing. What the hell do I pay you for?

want that money.

It's too late, Tony.

What?

Man,

I tried everything.

You know I'm good at what I do.

She wouldn't talk.

You stupid bastard!

I was doing business.

You're...

Late last night, about 3 .30.

Yeah. Shotgun victim, Caucasian female,
35, blood type A. A cousin will be

coming by to collect the personal
effects.

I'll be in my office.

Are you okay?

You look awful.

Thank you.

She was more than just a friend, wasn't
she?

I'm sorry, Robert.

You get anything on Custer?

Yes, we caught up with him at his place
this morning.

He seemed shocked.

Public Morals Division says that he runs
an after -hours joint with a guy named

Johnny Sack.

Custer, is he connected?

No, but he's sanctioned by them.

Nicole, I've got some news for you.

Did you know we found a loaded gun in
Miss Browning's apartment?

What? It seems the killer was someone
she trusted.

Nicole, if you didn't have so many
friends at the department who vouched

you, I would take you in for questioning
right now.

I'm Cynthia, honey.

But for 200 bucks, you can call me
Meredith all night long.

That's very kind. No, thanks.

Maggie?

Sorry, I got your message about an hour
ago. I got here as soon as I could.

Do you know where he went?

He said he had work to do. He didn't
sleep all night. He left without having

cup of coffee.

I don't like the sound of it.

McCall doesn't shoot from the head. I
know. He's a fact. I know, I know,

But when it comes to Meredith Browning,
you might fill me in.

Meredith was McCall's recruit.

They got Pete's operation in South
America. She was his prize pupil, his

And things got a little messy.

Plus, she and Robert hadn't spoken for
years.

He said something about her being
tortured.

Is it true?

Yeah, the station chief was a man called
Hallowell. He and Southern Control were

running a fail -safe operation. They set
Meredith up to be captured so that she

could feed false information to the
leftists. I didn't know anything about

It was Southern Control's brilliant
idea.

Meredith was never quite the same after
us.

He blamed himself for what happened,
didn't he?

Of course he did. You know Robert.

That's what worries me. He's still got
this beautiful, angelic image of her,

way she was years ago.

She ran a kind of a travel agency for
the company for a while.

Kind of a pay office, as it was
rendered.

That didn't last very long.

If you don't, I don't think he'll show
up.

Yeah, I'd say that's a safe bet.

Mickey, do me a favor. I need your help.

I can't involve the agency in this. It's
a little too sensitive right now. Pete

knew Meredith fairly well.

If you and she were to show up tomorrow
at the funeral, maybe we could talk to

him afterwards. Would you do it?

Shut the door.

Who are you?

Mr. Cochter.

My name is Robert McCall.

I'm trying to find out who killed
Meredith.

I don't think I got anything to do with
that.

You're crazy.

Listen, McCall, I don't know who killed
her.

A lot of people lose money here.

It might have been a customer. We're
trying to find that out. Are you really?

Look, I don't know how you felt about
her, but I cared for that woman.

Did you?

Or are you just one of those men who are
very good at pretending grief?

No, Mr. Costa, just listen.

If I find that you are in any way
responsible for Meredith's death,

I will personally, personally send you
to hell.

For as much as it has pleased Almighty
God to take unto himself the soul of our

dear sister, Meredith Browning, we
hereby commit her body to the ground.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, with the
sure and certain hope of the

to eternal life through our Lord Jesus
Christ.

May her soul and the souls of all the
departed, through the mercy of God,

The Lord be with you.

You think it's her? I'm sure of it.

It's Angela Drake.

She used to work with Meredith at the
travel agency.

And then when Meredith left, I know she
took her with her.

Paul, aren't you?

I recognized you from your photo.

I'm Jean Carson, Meredith's cousin.

I want you to have this.

I know you gave it to Meredith.

And I know she cared about you.

Very much.

Angela? It's Pete O 'Fallon.

Remember me?

Pete?

This is a friend of mine, Mickey
Kostmeyer.

Is this about Meredith?

Well, I don't want to talk about her.

A very good friend of ours has been
deeply affected by her death.

A lot of people were.

This is someone she once cared for very
much.

We're looking for some answers.

Anything you tell us could be of help.

Angela, please.

All right, what do you want to know?

Did you have any contact with Meredith
lately?

I worked for her for the last two years.

At Costa's Club?

Yes.

What did you do for her, Angela?

Customer relations.

Yes, that's what you think it is.

The big spenders and the losers, they
all get what they want.

For an added fee.

And Meredith?

She was in charge of all the girls.

Yeah.

She slipped that low.

Just like me.

Well, aren't you going to give me my
present?

Oh, Robert.

My God, it's beautiful.

Always a lady.

But not very appropriate.

I don't understand.

I'm going away.

I met a man.

You don't know him.

What are you saying?

What I'm saying is that I've learned how
to sell myself to the highest bidder,

just like you sold yourself to the
company.

Your travel plans crossed my desk this
morning. I recognized your code name.

I'm sending you back to Southbrooke.

What woman will you take this time?

Whose life will you risk?

They own you, Robert, body and soul.

I was just concerned about you, Robert.
Vicky and Pete and myself, that's all.

You can't keep blaming yourself for what
happened to Meredith.

That was years ago.

She was a different woman when she died.
She was a woman that you never knew, by

the way.

That is the difference between us, isn't
it? You can simply wash your hands and

walk away from all this. You can ignore
the legacy of torture and betrayal.

It's just...

The cost of doing business, as far as
you're concerned, isn't it? Sir Robert,

have known each other for 30 years. I
lie and I manipulate.

Duplicity is the coin of the realm in
this damn business. But I have never,

set up one of my own agents. I was in
the dark just as much as you were.

Yes, yes. Well, I'm in the dark still.

The woman sitting on the bench over
there is named Angela Drake.

She's worked for Meredith.

She may be of some help.

I don't know if you know it or not, but
I was one... Yes, I did hear her mention

you.

I was working at the travel agency then.

Yeah.

Tell me, what did she do after the
travel agency? What happened?

When the company took away its business,
she was very bitter.

At them, at you, at everyone.

I'm sure that's why she got involved
with Compton.

What, because of money?

Tony was a big deal in Atlantic City
until the feds got onto him.

Then when he came back here, everything
started to change.

What do you mean?

Didn't your friends tell you about the
club?

No.

See, um... She supervised us. Made sure
that we got our shots, our

medical checkups.

And that we kept our appointments.

I know what you're thinking. If you'd
known, could you have done something?

I really doubt it.

Costa, did he kill her?

He's capable of it.

There was a rumor at the club that she
stole a lot of money.

Anyone else who would want to hurt her?

Not really.

There was a hostess that she fired a few
days before she was killed.

A woman named Donna Morgan.

But I really don't think she'd have done
it.

Why? I mean, why did Meredith fire her?

I'm not sure.

I know that Donna was angry. She didn't
feel she deserved to be fired.

This other man at the club, what about
him?

Johnny Sack?

He had nothing to do with it.

How do you know that?

Because he stayed at my place that
night.

Examiner's report.

What's with all the caps?

It's Mr. Sachs.

I asked Alice to take him in. I told him
until morning.

Is there any news on Donna Morgan?

I checked out her apartment.

Her superclaims, she skipped town. Left
no forwarding address.

Am I telling you what this is all about?

I need another favor from you, Mickey.

When do you think you're going to be in
an hour?

With any luck at home in bed.

Good, I'll call you then.

Thank you for that.

Anytime.

See you later.

You may leave now.

Hey, Tony.

This guy all right?

You can go, Frank.

We got everything straightened out, Mr.

McCall.

Did you really?

Something else bothering you?

No.

Not anymore.

Costa.

Meredith stole some of your money.

You told Johnny Sachs to get it back.

He went to get it back.

He killed her.

But you don't know what happened next.

All right.

Run it by me.

What happened next was that Johnny Sachs
then took your money.

What? The police picked him up. Do you
know that?

How the hell do you know?

I make it my business to know.

Mr. Costa, it won't be very long before
the police find that money and then find

the connection between Johnny Thack and
that money. And when they do, do you

know what's going to happen?

He is going to talk.

In order to save himself from jail, he
is going to say that you killed

Very good alibi.

Nobody will be able to place him
anywhere near Meredith's on that night.

Cops picked me up outside the club last
night.

Just got in?

Any problems?

Nah, nothing serious.

Dumb cops mistook me for some other guy
named Sax.

Light stuff.

You're kidding.

See you tonight, huh?

Sure. Get some sleep.

Let me take care of this, all right?

Yeah? This is a friendly warning.

Go to sleep with your eyes open.

Who is this?

Gary, the angel.

Somebody's awful nervous about you
talking to the cops.

Who?

You figure it out, friend.

How do you name it all, huh?

Is everything set? And when everything
recorded?

Put the gun on the chair.

Put the gun on the chair.

That's a good boy.

Now turn around.

What's the matter? You lose your nerve,
Tony, huh?

Oh, no, no, no.

I lost 800 grand.

To you, Johnny.

You took it.

Well, there's nothing you can do about
that now, is there?

So you did take it out.

I just wanted to know.

How'd you catch on?

Maybe the cops will tell you, Johnny.

Cops have nothing to do with this, Tony.

Neither do you.

Bring some friends with you?

Huh?

What are you doing, Pat?

See, one thing, your friend McCall's got
an original way of working.

Uh, I'll take that tape.

So which one do you think actually
killed her?

Doesn't matter.

No, I guess not.

We searched the apartment and there's no
sign of the money.

Well, we've got to go through it again.
Look, we've got to look for safe deposit

keys. We've got to look for baggage
claim checks.

Come on. I'm on my way to Costas Club.
You know where Robert went?

He said he had other things to do. All
right. You need a ride?

No, thanks.

See you tomorrow.

Robert. Hello, Meredith.

So you found me.

Yeah.

I thought you might be interested to
know that Tony Costa and Johnny Sachs

dead.

It was quite a clever plan.

Quite clever.

You thought that I would become so
enraged at your death.

that I would rush out and execute Tony
Costa.

And then you and Johnny Fax would be
free to go off and spend $800 ,000.

And I'm not very... The anklet was a
wonderful touch.

But we made a mistake.

What was it?

You were a professional.

A very good one.

You were in danger.

And you didn't secure any of the doors.

Then a loaded weapon was found in the
apartment.

If somebody had tried to kill you, you
would have put up one hell of a fight.

Once I discovered that you weren't dead,

it was a simple matter to find this
place.

Robert, can't you help me?

I didn't want that girl to die.

That was Johnny's idea. I was terrified
of him.

Get your coat.

Robert, the money is here now.

It can be ours.

We could start over again.

Don't make it any more difficult than it
is. Get your coat.

All right.

I'll do whatever you want.

I found it while you were out.

There's one thing I'd like to give you
in return.

A memory of a lady who was once a
friend.

Do you know Donna Morgan?

No.

Well, then what are you doing here,
Robert?

Well, I thought somebody should be here.

Anyway, what does the name matter? You
and I, we've known hundreds of Donna

Morgans. They could all be buried here.

The police want a deposition from you. I
told them you'd be there in an hour.

Yes.

Robert, you're not responsible for what
happened to Meredith.

The choices she made were all her own.

Who were they?

Well, you want to go, Robert?

She was a friend once.

You're a man with answers. You tell me
something. When friendship dies, where

you go to say goodbye?
