You're going to get to see your father die.

Father!

Help me.

He's Manor's daughter.

That's why I called you.

Yvette, I'm going to get you and your father out of this.

In 24 hours, it's Chris or it's you!

You have five seconds to give me the name.

Time's up. Throw him out of the window.

Hey! Wait a minute!

Tell him we're going to move on the girl.

Yvette, you must have that map memorized by now.

There's so many places to go.

You're missing everything, Papa. Not everything. I have my own private tour

arranged by the NYPD for visiting inspectors from Quebec.

I've seen the inside of all sorts of hotel conference rooms.

I wish Mother could have been here. She used to love to sightsee.

What's on the agenda today?

Taxi? Or museums?

Thought I'd check out some primitive art.

Getting tired of the old masters, are we? I teach a course by now.

Am I dining alone again tonight?

Sweetheart, Tom Childress is going to Washington. I have to meet with him

he leaves. But tomorrow night, I promise, spend the whole evening there.

Uh -huh. I mean it.

But don't wait up tonight. I may be late.

Don't forget about tomorrow.

Have I ever gone back on my word?

You really want me to answer that?

No, I don't.

But I do promise about tomorrow night.

Have a terrible day.

I've been watching you for days.

You're very beautiful.

Please, don't hurt me.

That might be fun.

Where are you taking me?

Don't worry.

I've been planning this move for a long time.

Not only are you very beautiful, but you're very lucky.

You're going to get to see your father die.

Gentlemen to success.

Continue cooperation between Quebec and New York.

Watch the man who just came in.

The one in the trench coat.

You see, he's going to walk right across the room and he's going to take out a

pistol and blow your father's head off. No.

Save your strength. He can't hear you and he can't see you.

You see, Yvette, I'm not such a bad guy.

I saved your father's life.

That's what we call a dry run.

Now, unless you do exactly what I tell you to do, the next time it's going to

for real.

I want the true identity of a man codenamed Chrysalis.

Your father knows that identity.

I want you to find out who it is and tell me, and no one else.

But I don't know who that is.

I don't know how. Please.

You're a very smart girl.

You'll find a way.

I'd try very hard if I were you.

He doesn't like to be disappointed.

Please, I don't know how to get what you want.

Well, you have 48 hours.

You look through his files, read his notes, listen in on his phone calls.

And remember, don't talk to anyone, okay? Because you know we're going to be

watching, we're going to be listening, and we even have your hotel room bugged.

Not one wrong move, and you and your father are both dead.

How was your day?

Fine. How was yours?

Not.

Had a little trouble at lunch.

What happened to him?

Oh, nothing to worry about.

I've got a surprise for you.

Your godfather's coming to breakfast tomorrow.

I thought that would make you happy.

Oh, it does.

That's wonderful. I can't wait to see him.

Well, he certainly can't wait to see you.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Papa, I love you.

Well, I love you, too.

That's wonderful.

This is like old times, you know. Thank you.

you wouldn't come to Quebec, so we had to come here. I will come to Quebec, I

promise. So, and you are a... What? A disacquainted college graduate? I can't

believe that.

Last June.

Excuse me.

Marcel?

Oh.

Hello, Peter.

I'll meet you in New Orleans.

Excuse me for just a minute.

Marcel, you just take your time and give us a chance to get reacquainted, all

right?

Now, your father says that you're starting a graduate art program, and

not surprise me at all. You know, your mother was a very artistic person.

What? What is...

You know, I will never

forget when Manon and I first met. I thought she was the most beautiful woman

had ever seen.

We were students together, you know, at the Sorbonne.

Of course, every man who met your mother fell in love with her, including me.

But your father was the lucky one.

I mean, she broke a lot of hearts when she married him.

I'm going to tell you something, Yvette.

You are absolutely as beautiful as your mother was.

And I want you to remember that, all right?

I apologize for the interruption.

No, that's all right. I bet and I had a wonderful talk.

Kind of reminds me of when she was a little girl.

Somehow we always managed to understand each other.

Didn't we?

You're going to be worth tomorrow.

25 more right now.

West 77th Street, Jim.

McCall.

Yeah, he's here.

Quit it.

Hello? I'm sorry to bother you, Robert, but this is very important.

Oh, bless you for calling.

I need to see you right away.

I'm not in any condition to be seen by anybody at the moment.

This can't wait. It's got to be right now.

Huh? What's wrong? Let go of the call. Not on the phone.

Are you working out alone?

I wish I was.

All right, blame me. You're apart for half an hour.

And this is all the information you've got?

My father came in. I had to stop.

I never had a chance to be alone again.

Control, you... I don't think she's mentally unbalanced, do you?

I've known this girl since she was a child.

Her father's one of my oldest friends.

Yeah, I mean, it's been five years. It's not mentally, no.

Okay, all right.

Well, you say that this man is a police inspector from Quebec.

I mean, who down here is going to be interested in an ordinary police

from Quebec?

I don't know. I don't know. We're going to have to be very careful. If they're

bugging a room, that means they're watching every move she makes.

I'm going to set up a shouldered meeting.

No, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

If I am going to be involved in this, you and I have got to think this out a

little, hmm?

It is I who am going to be in charge, right? So I will set up a sheltered

meeting.

I just want to be sure that she's safe, that's all. Well, quite, quite, of

course. So do I.

But if things are as desperate as you present, it will be a pity to slip up

through a lack of objectivity.

Robert, there's something I have to show you. I was hoping that you'd never have

to see this.

But I had some of my surveillance people get it just in case.

So what is this?

Highlights of our Pakistan trip?

Could it be funny?

No, Robert.

Manon, he's dead.

It's not Manon. Look again.

Is she?

She's Manon's daughter.

I've got a meeting.

Get in the car.

Give me the address. I'll follow you.

Just get in the car, Mickey, please.

Yeah, I can't. I'm parked in front of a fire hydrant. I can't just leave the

car. Mickey, I don't give a damn if you're parked in front of Buckingham

Get in the car.

All right, all right.

The car!

Here you come. Back for more.

I can barely walk, thanks to you.

Bump, the only idea when control is going to send you out on another job.

Well, he's guaranteed me three months of R &R.

But I'll believe that when I see it.

So what's going down, McCall?

There's a small operation.

It comes under the category of diversion and psychological warfare.

Well, you've come to the right man.

It's like I always say.

Why break a dude's kneecaps when you can mess with his mind?

You ready?

Come on, you didn't forget our date, did you? We're supposed to go roller

skating.

No, no.

Well, I mean, I guess I did.

Nikki.

Well, so much for my unforgettable charm, but I'll forgive you. Look, it's

beautiful day outside.

Let's get rolling.

Okay.

being followed

okay

you're doing really great you know just take it easy just make it easy we're

gonna speed up when we get around the next bend those yo -yos behind us are in

for a big surprise

But you dudes got to be careful where you're walking.

Damn you. Punky's got himself some heavy metal. Well, let's see what he's got.

Open him up.

Could I kill you?

You got a big mouth, little man, and we are terrified.

What are you going to kill us with, your fingernails?

You know what I think? I think these dudes are out of their league.

My name is Robert McCall.

I'm a friend of your godfather's.

He asked me to help you.

Can you?

Well, I already am.

Well, Philip, pay dirt again.

I just got word from Baltimore that Henny done indictments on the five top

leaders in the city.

A few more days of your men answering questions and we'll be able to shove on

half the East Coast operations. I don't like it.

It's too easy. It's too smooth.

That's my intuition, but I have a feeling something's going wrong.

There's a business in the restaurant yesterday. Is it still worrying you?

Warnings always worry me.

Well, we have been going pretty fast lately. Maybe we should pull back for a

while. You want to take a breather? No, no, no. Not after all the trouble we

went to to get our department to cooperate.

I don't want to go through all that again. We finally find the tip of the

iceberg. We can't just let it float away and, oh, let's keep going.

The game's got to end sometime.

Until it does, let's play it for all it's worth.

Good. I've got a series of questions on the mob infrastructure in Washington, D

.C. When can you get to them again?

We've got an appointment at 11 o 'clock tonight.

You want backup?

No, I'll handle it myself.

The man's dangerous, Philip.

He'll never know we're watching. I uncovered him. He'll only talk to me.

Same as always.

I go in alone.

So you are quite certain that you have never heard your father mention the word

chrysalis? I'm positive.

Why?

Your godfather asked me to take care of this situation. I'm doing precisely

that.

And from this moment, you are under my protection, which means that... Should I

try to tell my father?

No.

No, no.

I will tell him when the time is right.

Yvette.

I realize you don't know who I am.

But I know who you are.

I was a friend of your mother's.

Many years ago.

Robert McCall.

I know who you are.

I remember my mother used to talk about you before she died.

Strange.

She thought I'd meet you someday.

I don't know why.

Were you in love with her?

You are very direct.

Just as she was.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to pry.

No.

It's just that... From some of the things she said, I... I think she loved

once.

Very much.

She trusted me once, very much.

You must do the same now.

I will.

Because she did.

I think it's time we hit the road.

Thank you, Mickey.

Yvette, I'm going to get you and your father out of this.

I know you will.

Thank you.

And I know, my love, he is so like you.

So like you.

That's Stugager.

And that's Ernie Slackman.

They're enforcers for Frank Dorgan. A little level mobsters.

Well, if these were the two who were watching Yvette, it logically follows

it was Frank Dorgan who grabbed her, right?

Yeah, well, that is very strange. That's very surprising. Dorgan usually

operates under blankets of security.

Quite obviously, the mouth that was.

is putting Dorgan under a great amount of pressure, which would suggest that he

is getting inside information, i .e. an informant.

Chrysalis.

Excuse me.

McCall. It's Mickey.

They're all checked in, McCall.

Oh, thank you, Mickey.

I'll be there.

I've created an observation room on Yvette's floor, so she'll be watched at

times from now on.

Adam, it's about Washington, D .C.

Papa, is that...

Very

interesting, Mr. Slackman. Very interesting.

Frank Dorgan...

Gave Yvette Marcel 48 hours to find the identity

of Chrysalis.

She's got 14 hours left.

And yet you attempt to kill her.

My question is, why?

Who the hell are you?

Very soon, you may well wish that I was.

I want to see an attorney.

Really? Well, I'm sure we can oblige you.

My colleague here, I'm sure, would be delighted to represent you.

What have you to say about your client, colleague?

He's a turkey.

Wipe him out.

Well, there you are, you see.

That's the first honest attorney you've ever had.

Now, I'm going to ask you one simple question.

I'm not telling you nothing.

What a terrible double negative.

Well, now, you do have the right to remain silent, but I think I should warn

you, if you exercise that right, I will kill you. You can't get away with this.

Watch me.

Now, I want to know who you are working for.

And don't tell me it's Frank Dorgan.

It would not be logical for Mr. Dorgan to kill that girl until he has found out

who Chrysalis really is.

Therefore, somebody else wants her dead.

I want to know who. I want the name. You're crazy.

This guy's a little tight. Maybe I should loosen him up. Oh, dear, oh,

did hope that wouldn't be necessary.

You have five seconds to give me the name.

Time's up. Throw him out of the window.

Wait a minute!

Too bad turkey's got such lousy wings, you might have a chance if you could

Okay! Okay!

My client has waved his right wing silent.

Very wise.

Name.

Carmack!

Gene Carmack!

What did he say?

Gene Carmack.

Thank you!

Gorgon's right -hand man.

And Gene Carmack is Chrysalis.

Lower your gun gently into my hand, Mr Carmack.

Thank you.

Now, if you'd like to move into the other room.

I'm sure we'll be more comfortable in here.

Don't worry about Mr Slackman. He won't be going anywhere.

We've been marring your...

Collection of first editions.

It's rather nice.

You don't know me as out, do you?

How'd you get in here?

Quite easily, really.

I'm afraid we've been playing around with your electronic surveillance

No longer in operation.

Nor any of your guards.

Dorgan sent you, huh?

No.

But that does raise...

A fascinating question.

Like how can a man who's been a traitor to his colleagues in the mob expect to

survive?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

You were afraid that Dorgan was going to discover that you were Chrysalis.

So you ordered your man there to kill the girl.

Naturally, he failed.

Who the hell are you? I'm a businessman who has come here to offer you the deal

of your life.

I've been hired to protect the Martells.

And as you have seen, I am pretty efficient in what I do.

But I will deliver the girl to you for a price.

How much? $100 ,000 cash on delivery.

And when is this contract to be fulfilled?

Sometime tomorrow.

If I agree to this, then... Two stipulations.

One, quite obviously, you don't harm the girl until she's in your hand, and then

after that, well, it's entirely up to you.

Two, you stay by your telephone throughout the day, because sometime

course of the day, you are going to receive a set of instructions, and you

follow them to the letter.

Clear?

How do I know I can trust you?

Well, of course.

You don't really, do you?

Are we agreed?

Agreed. Good night, Mr. Carmack.

Well, there is one other point.

If you break our deal, I will see that your name is given to every crime

family throughout the United States of America.

And within 24 hours, you'll be dead.

And if by some strange reason they don't get you, I sure as hell will.

All right?

You guys call the meeting? What do you want?

I love this.

Everything's going to hell, and he acts like he loused up his dinner.

Just take it easy, Tom. We said we're going to take a cough.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

You got a problem with the way I'm running things here, something, Calvin?

don't you just put it right on the table?

I got a problem, all right?

There's an indictment coming with my name on it. What's the matter with you

guys? I got to lead you around by the nose all the time?

That's what you got attorneys for.

Hey, Frank, you don't talk to your friends like that. Tommy's right. We got

see some action.

What do you think? I got a party going here or something? I got more problems

than the two of you put together.

I had to bail out five of my men this morning, Frank. It spread all over the

front page.

The heads of the other families are starting to panic.

This guy keeps talking, we all wind up in prison.

I told you, he'll be dead in 24 hours. You said that 24 hours ago. You don't

even know who he is. You know, it's a little hard for me to understand why

taken so long.

You ever hear of something called a Federal Witness Protection Program?

You make one mistake, the guy disappears in the program forever.

Yeah, and if we don't find him soon, we're all going to disappear forever.

I said 24 hours. 24 hours. You want 24 hours, Frank?

We'll give you 24 hours.

But after that, the clock stops.

And 24 hours is chrysalis or it's you.

Sleep well, Frank.

Call Carmack. Have him meet me at my house.

Tell him we're going to move on the girl.

I don't want to go back. I want to stay here with you.

Well, you hardly ever see me anyway.

That's right.

Sweetheart, I don't know how to tell you this exactly, but I'm getting worried

about you. You're not yourself. There's something wrong and you're not talking

about it.

This is the first time anything like this has ever come between us.

I'm fine.

What's the matter?

You didn't tell me anything.

Nothing's wrong, Papa.

Don't send me home.

Sweetheart, I love you. You don't have to call me if you don't want me.

Thank you.

Look at the time. I'm late. I'm sorry.

You forgive me.

Shall we be all right? Go.

Okay.

I've been looking all over for you.

Hi, Mickey.

I got tickets to Radio City.

Oh, great.

Ron.

I wanted to tell my father everything. I really did.

You want to talk about it?

Not really.

Would you mind if we skipped the show? I'm not feeling very festive.

I know just the place for us to go.

Oh, just strangers in the car, changing glances.

I'm being watched.

Just take it easy.

It's boyfriend -girlfriend time, okay?

Huh?

It is strange that we have never met.

But I think you know my name.

Robert McCall.

Message came from Control.

Yes, I know.

I'm acting on his behalf.

The man in the cab said we were followed, but we lost them. What is

Oh, there's a lot going on. It's going on all around you.

Two days ago, your daughter was abducted from this very room by Frank Dorgan.

Why didn't she tell me?

What did they do to her?

They didn't do anything to her.

They did terrorize her. They forced her to watch your execution.

My what?

The restaurant.

The man with the gun, remember?

She saw everything that happened.

They told her that unless she found out the identity of Chrysalis,

that you would die.

And she kept this to herself?

No. She got a message to control.

We've been protecting her ever since.

This is all my fault.

Last night, Carmack had one of his men try to kill her.

You do realize, don't you, that he's been using you to build his empire city

city.

Once the old guard of the mob are either dead or imprisoned, he will take over

the whole of the eastern seaboard.

This is all my fault.

For the past two years, all I've done is cement my contact with Carmack to...

Further my career.

What do we do now, McCall?

I'll tell you what you do now.

You carry on your normal business.

You do not mention this meeting to anyone, certainly not Yvette.

And prepare yourself to be able to leave this city at a moment's notice. Why

can't I just take her out of here now?

You know why you can't do that.

You'll both be dead before you reach the airport.

And... If by some chance they didn't kill you, then, with their contacts,

follow you anywhere.

All right.

I'll do whatever you say, yeah.

McCall, I... There's something you should know.

Something... that I... Something I didn't want you to know until now.

I love Yvette.

I have raised her from the moment she was born.

This is very hard to say.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

Don't you?

We'll count back the years.

Count them, McCall.

Yvette is not my natural daughter.

She's yours.

She's what?

I thought you might like to know the young woman you're trying to save.

is part of you.
