In this city of night,

in this city of millions,

there are countless stories.

This is one

of two loverswho shared a bond

that changed their livesforever.

It is my story.

How compassion opened my heart

to a world where goodnessand truth were stronger

than hate or fear.

Then... one day,

she was taken from me

by the forces of evilshe had battled

so bravely.

And now, alone with her memory,

yet armed with her courage,

I have sworn to fightthose who would kill

or harm or destroy

in the hope that one day

I will findwhat all men seek to find--

my destiny.

Shh, shh, shh, shh.

Shh.

Vincent.

Elliot Burch?

He is my only recourse.

Look here, Vincent.

You want to find your son.

And I can understand that,

but at what risk to yourself?

What risk to this world?

The risk is only to myself.

No, that's not true.

Elliot Burch has had a thousand chances

to betray our world.

Even so, how can you possibly trust him in this?

The child is all that is left of Catherine in this world.

You have nothing of Catherine left inside you?

Of course I have.

Then ask her to make the right choice.

And think of those who love you now.

I did not come here for your counsel.

Believe me, Vincent, I support your purpose.

But you cannot give me your blessing.

I think the child may be lost to us.

The child is my son.

"...Though they go mad, they shall be sane;

"though they sink through the sea, they shall rise again;

"though lovers be lost, love shall not;

"And death shall have no dominion."

Death shall have no dominion.

Well, then, issue morepartnership shares.

No good, Elliot.

The share values are low enough as it is.

You can't risk any more dilution.

Gentlemen...

Ladies...

There are 22 buildings in this city with my name on them.

You telling me now that Elliot Burch is a bad credit risk?

Well, no, but...

people areworried.

Burch Properties Group is at a bit of a low ebb right now.

Elliott is-is, is there something you're not telling us?

Because if you're devaluing shares

for a buy-back...

What are you talking about?

Burch Properties is worth what it was always worth.

No. No, that's not true.

The settlement on the casino fire

will probably exceed liability coverage

by a figure in the high tens of millions.

And taking everything into account,

the liquidation value today

of Burch Properties is about 60%

of what it was six months ago.

An-And that's not counting the cash drain

with the DA's restraining order

on the Battery project.

I thought you said we could finesse Moreno?

Well, it's not just Moreno.

It's, uh, coming from everywhere.

Selling of group shares is across the board.

Overseas banks, pension funds-- you name it.

Elliot, there can't be a single hand behind this.

No one man has that kind of power.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, gentlemen.

What are you saying, Cleon?

I'm simply saying there issomeone out there,

and he's taking you apart

piece by piece.

Wh-Where do you hear this, Mr. Manning?

On the street corner?

I hear it from people like you, Mr. Walker.

People who have nice jobs in banks.

Nice families in the suburbs.

People so scared, they hang up the phone

before we get out the question.

I think you boys should work

with Cleon on this thing.

Now, there is a connection out there.

Please go and find it.

Evening, Arthur.

Elliot Burch.

Who the hell are you?

No one to fear.

Don't...

Please.

How do you know me?

We shared something--

a friend-- very dear to us both.

Who?

Catherine.

My name is Vincent.

Vincent.

You know about me from what she told you?

Yes.

What do you want from me, Vincent?

I need your help.

Why should I help you?

I do not do this for myself.

I saw the man who killed her.

You what?

I was there...

with her at the end.

But I was too late.

Who is this man?

Do you know him?

No.

But his face is burning inside my mind.

I know where he kept her.

Will you help me?

Why would I help you?

Because you loved her, too.

Specialized in psych...

psych... mental disorders.

Brilliant mind.

Yeah, coming.

Elliot Burch at my doorstep.

I'm speechless.

Hello, Joe.

Let me guess--

you bought my building, and you're here for the rent.

You think I could come in?

It's about Cathy.

She's dead, Elliot.

Why don't you stop chasing her?

Why don't you?

Look, what do you want?

I got a lead on her killer.

Come on in.

All I'm hearing are complaints about the D.A.'s office.

And I don't even work there now.

That's right,

You ever ask yourself why?

I never had to.

My boss made it real clear--

I was "acting against orders."

You think he was right?

Maybe.

Why, what's your point?

Cathy worked there, too.

I mean, doesn't the D.A. take care of their own?

What are you driving at?

Six months ago when Cathy disappeared,

everybody got interested and started looking into it.

Two people looked harder than the rest.

And after awhile, it started looking hopeless.

People lost interest,

except you and me.

We got warned off.

We didn't pay attention to the warnings.

And then, the warnings started to hurt.

Come on, you're giving me coincidences

like they prove something.

They're not coincidences, Joe.

It's all coming from the same man.

Who?

Moreno?

The man Moreno works for.

Not a chance.

You can't know that.

I'll tell you what I know.

I know Moreno.

Whoever killed Cathy

has a direct line into your office.

To somebody powerful enough to suspend you,

and to launch a witch hunt against me.

Well, maybe it's this guy Vincent

nobody seems to be able to find.

It's not him.

How do you know?

I know.

Then I don't know.

Maybe it's nobody.

Let me ask you something.

How much is Moreno costing you

holding up your building permits?

That's not it, Joe.

You know what else I don't like about this picture, Burch?

Time after time, I saw you put Cathy on the line

when there was something in it for you.

And now you're back here

doing the same thing to me.

I'll tell you something.

You got no idea how wrong you are!

I think it's time for you to leave.

No, Joe, Joe, listen.

I'd at least like you to promise me that you'll look into it.

I'm not promising youanything.

Have a nice day.

You ask Moreno what's at 1900 Sixth Avenue.

Vincent, did you see Elliot Burch?

Yes.

Is he going to help you?

He has agreed to help.

So does this mean you're going to risk seeing him again?

Yes, I will risk seeing him.

I would risk everything.

Would you do any less for me?

"Vincent."

The threshold below.

Well, some of the biggestsellers

have tiesto a certain investment bank

in Singapore.

And?

And we're fairly certain they're backed

by South American drug interests.

Wait. Any of these South American drug interests

have connections in New York?

Possibly, but there's no way of knowing for certain.

What about a connection to the D.A.'s office?

Elliot.

John Moreno has a sterling reputation in this town.

I wouldn't even want to ask.

Gentlemen, you've done wonderful work.

I want to thank you.

I'll be in touch.

Okay, so tell me.

I can't prove anything, Elliot.

And I don't want to try.

Would you just say it?

Definitely Moreno.

Yeah, yeah, but who's pulling his strings?

No one knows.

What about the address I gave you?

If he lived there, he hid himself very well.

Mazes of holding companies, third-party leasebacks.

It'll take months to trace.

The man doesn't want you to know who he is.

Well, that's too damn bad, 'cause I'm going to find him.

Why?

Why?

Elliot, you got what you wanted.

You found out you weren't imagining things.

Somebody is after you.

Why don't the hell you back off?

You think you can win a game like this?

This man is dangerous.

Well, there are people who would say that about me.

You ever kill a man?

You ever kill a man just to make a point?

Of course not.

You ever kill 200 men

just to make a point?

Casino fire.

That's the difference between you.

That's why you can't win.

I can have the law on my side.

I can get him put away.

It's just a matter of finding

the right stuff, and we can do it, Cleon.

I know we can.

Not with me, Elliot.

What?

I'm out of it.

No, no, no. Cleon.

I can't do this without you.

Sorry.

I'll double your retainer.

I'll give you a bonus-- you get $100,000 when we find the man.

I've lost two of my field men.

I've got a family.

Well, you do look like you got your mind made up.

You be careful.

Be very, very careful.

I'm ready, Pierson.

Hey, boss, burning the midnight oil?

Hey. Well, you know, Joe,

it never stops coming down around here.

Wait a minute. Time fly by that fast?

Your two months up already? No.

I just felt like dropping by for a visit.

You tell me you actually miss this place,

I'm gonna give you another two months.

Hey, I'm guilty. What can I say?

Soap operas got nothing on this circus.

Relax, Joe.

Enjoy your vacation.

So...

What's this new mess Elliot Burch stepped in?

Ah, this one's no fun, Joe.

You know I don't live to poke sticks at rich guys,

I don't care what the papers may say. No, I know.

Fact is, the guy is dirty.

Well, he keeps saying he can't defend himself

because all of the sources

are confidential.

Well, no one likes to stand in the light

when they're pointing a finger at a guy like Burch.

You think he's dangerous?

Anybody with that kind of power is dangerous, Joe.

Believe me.

Why the interest?

I don't know. A guy like that...

spends most of his time on the front page.

After a while, he seems bigger than life.

John, the other day I was cleaning out some old files,

and I found something on the Chandler case

that I never got a chance to look into.

Joe.

You got to let this thing rest.

No, I know, I know.

I just wanted to run it by you

to see if maybe it rings a bell.

What is it?

An address someone gave me.

1900 Sixth Avenue.

You know, that tower right off of 53rd Street.

Yeah, I know where it is.

But, uh...

doesn't do anything for me, Joe. I'm sorry.

Think it'd be worth checking the tenants?

My tip came from a solid source.

Well, I could put some people on it.

Well, I got nothing else to do.

Why don't I just go down...? Joe.

You're still on suspension.

Yeah, right.

I'll see you later.

Stay with the car.

Mr. Burch? Uh-huh?

Are you sure?

Ten minutes.

Vincent.

Vincent!

I'm here.

Come no further.

You're alone?

Tell me what you have found.

What I've found...

was a connection to the District Attorney of Manhattan.

What is it, Elliot?

This man that you recognized,

the man you saw in the helicopter.

If he's powerful enough to control the district attorney...

He killed 213 people in a hotel fire--

my hotel!

And tonight he killed a man who worked for me.

A friend.

And he left his corpse as a warning.

What kind of man is this?

The way is dangerous, Elliot.

You are not bound to continue.

Vincent,

it's not dangerous, it's suicide.

There is...

something more you should know.

There is a child.

This... man

is raising

Catherine's child.

It's yourchild.

The child is hers, Elliot.

Go on.

Look-- grasp it.

Don't be afraid.

The day will come.

You'll know the truth.

When the ring is on your finger,

that day, your life will truly begin.

Listen... to the shadows.

Nothing is impossible.

The truths are so simple.

Their fear will build your castles.

Their greed will make them slaves.

Look, when they close their eyes.

Push forward whenever they pull back.

Eat the meals

they dare not taste.

The power will come.

So easy.

Century after century,

the truths never change.

Hmm.

Some day.

The threshold below.

Okay, below.

The threshold below.

What's at 1900 Sixth Avenue?

You talked to Moreno?

I did.

And?

Why don't you tell me what 1900 Sixth Avenue is?

It's where Cathy died.

Jesus.

How do youknow?

I can't tell you.

Why not? What, are you protecting someone?

How do you know so much?

It doesn't matter how I know. The hell it doesn't!

Moreno's dirty, Joe!

We both know that!

What's important is that he may be the only link we have

to whoever killed Cathy.

I don't believe this is happening.

I'm so sorry.

What should we do now, Vincent?

Tell Mouse we must seal this section of the tunnels.

Forever?

Yes.

Forever.

Yeah, but you see,

if we let this guy cop to a misdemeanor,

there won't be any heat on him to testify.

We cannot take the easy win.

There's a principle here.

Hey, Joe.

Hello, John.

Charlie, let's pick this up later.

Everything all right?

I remember when you used to give me those lectures.

You remember wrong.

Youused to lecture meall the time.

I never met anybody with a bigger thirst for justice.

Aw, these new guys, they don't know.

Today, it's every man for himself.

Is that the way you feel?

That's the way it is.

No, I mean for you.

Is that the way you feel?

What's on your mind, Joe?

I heard some things.

Things I didn't want to hear.

What things?

About the ones who killed Cathy.

You can't let that go, can you?

About someone bought and paid for in this office.

Deny it for me, please.

I'm going to let you apologize for that,

and then I'm going to let you leave!

Do you think I'd come here if I wasn't sure?

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

Cathy Chandler is dead, and her blood is all over you.

Better get out of here, Joe.

What are you doing here?

This office stands for something!

Get out of here!

How many times have you told me

the only difference between us

and the people we put away is what's here?

"It's like a religion, Joe."

"It's like a faith, Joe!

It has to be."

I also remember telling you something about loyalty!

Where's your loyalty?

Where should it be, John?

With you or the law?

I didn't think there was a difference.

Now, I know you didn't kill her.

Help me get the one who did.

Who told you this?

It was Burch,

wasn't it?

Burch got to you.

No, John.

The truth got to me.

Just the truth.

Burch knows the address.

This is not a profitable situation, Mr. Moreno.

Too many liabilities.

I can handle it.

Can you handle your assistant?

Maxwell?

He's no threat.

Trust me.

I would like to trust you.

I can take care of this.

Then do it.

Ten minutes.

Right.

Yeah. Thanks.

We on?

Vincent!

Hello, Mr. Burch.

Moreno.

You must be crazy, Burch.

What could be worth all this?

You wouldn't understand.

Probably not.

Cates!

Vincent.
