"Irish coffee double shot." "Rough day at work?" "Yeah." "A few of 'em." "Well." "You're not alone." "There's a lot of that going around." "Conrad Hall." "Winston." "Nice to meet you Winston." "That's your first name or your last name?" "Last." "What's your first name?" "Detective." "So do you have a first name?" "Would you write a book or some man?" "I'm just trying to be friendly." "If you're ashamed of your name..." "You see me drinking at 2:30 in the afternoon you want to antagonize me about my name?" "What the hell's the matter with you you got a death wish or something?" "Not, or I'm gonna aware of." "I'm saying you're a cop and I'm a prosecutor" "If we can't get some introduction without an argument what's the world coming to?" "So you're a prosecutor." "Assistant U.S. Attorney." "Oh that sounds like a good job." "What kind of work problems you got?" "Breakdown in civility." "Co-workers I don't trust." "Boss who doesn't trust me." "Lately I've been questioning" "My choice of profession." "Yeah, well, that's going around." "Laverne..." "Laverne Winston." "Yeah, I got a that sounds like a girl's name." "I also carry a 45." "I've got a history of disciplinary problems and this ain't my first drink today." "You got another comment?" "You can call me Connie." "Oh, don't get up." "I got it." "Good afternoon." "Each one of these is a lie." "And I'll know when you tell it." "But when the third lie drops..." "Your friends in the other room die." "Simple enough?" "Perfect." "Let's begin." "A number of years ago" "We were close to acquiring something of great value something that once belonged to your former employer." "What you want, is errand boys?" "No." "Not at all." "People that worked with former clients of his." "Disgruntled former clients." "We'd like to make sure we obtain this item before he does." "We believe you know where it is." "What makes you think that?" "Because its disappearance is directly related to the death of Katherine Walters." "Never heard of her." "So Connie..." "Yeah." "Suppose you tell me the real reason you're in here." "There's got a murder down at the port." "Word is it's a professional hit." "No suspect no motive and one very shaky witness." "Yeah so?" "Been working a case the past year targeting underworld activities down at the docks." "I think there's a connection." "You want to talk to the witness." "And you don't want to go 12 rounds with the D.A. to get permission." "Oh, now how illegal do we think that would be." "Just help me out here." "5 minutes with Katherine Walters." "Wish I could help you." "Thanks for the drinks." "So you think I know something about Katherine Walters' death?" "I'm quite certain of it." "How's that?" "Because we're the people who hired you to kill her." "So you hired the hit on Katherine." "Who are you?" "The item we're looking for" "The last time anyone saw it" "Was the day Katherine Walters died." "We know she spent the 48 hours prior to that with you." "So what I expect is for you to fill in the blanks of those 48 hours to help us acquire now who is denied to us then." "If that's what you went through all this trouble for you're going to have a disappointing afternoon." "I think with your friends' welfare on the line you give me exactly what I want." "Now..." "Katherine and your failure to terminate her." "Conrad Hall U.S. Attorney's office." "Go ahead." "In there." "Hello?" "What can I do for you?" "All right." "That's just Weird." "You are officially the first lawyer not to be bitten or peed on." "Well we sort of have it coming to us don't we?" "Come on." "No one deserves to be peed on." "I'll take that as a vote of confidence then." "For him this is the red carpet treatment." "I'm Katherine." "Katherine Walters." "Conrad." "Conrad Hall." "Good boy!" "So you used to work operations down at the port." "I'm just doing some background." "Cookie?" "Cooking calms me down." "I get that." "What are they?" "Don't look at them like that." "These are my grandma's brown-eyed susans." "There is no problem they can't solve." "Hey..." "Can I ask you a question?" "Look I don't want to get anyone in trouble but that guy spends most of the day playing sudoku and that one over there won't stop staring at my ass." "Well I'm pretty sure that's against protocol." "Yeah." "You know I'm not really sure why I'm here anyway." "I can't imagine why anyone would want to hurt me." "You can't." "I saw a guy bleeding." "I went to help him didn't see who shot him." "He said two words to me and he died." "It was all over in 10 seconds." "I'm pretty sure that the report said you knew the guy." "No." "Never seen him." "So most people hear a gunshot and they see a stranger bleeding and they run in the other direction." "I guess I'm not as smart as them." "Oh I'm sorry!" "I drank out of that one." "Sorry." "The last two words that guy said before he died what were they?" "Leonore Fortier." "You told me she's connected to Broner." "She doesn't even know the gay." "As many facts," "I don't think she knows anything about anything" "She knows enough to be a problem for our client." "But you're the solution here right?" "Listen, I know Broner's book stole from me, until this back to my hands, we're all at risk." "Right now, loose ends are unacceptable." "Katherine Walters is a loose end." "Just do your job." "Who is Leonore Fortier?" "Look something doesn't seem right..." "Do your job!" "You do it!" "What the hell are you doing?" "Pack a bag something small." "You're not safe here." "But..." "I was kidding about those guys out there." "I'm sure it's not as bad..." "It's worse." "I'm not with the U.S. Attorney." "I got your address from a cop who was half in the bag walked in here with a fake I.D. and a briefcase and less than 48 hours I'm in a room with you." "I guess my next question is why do you want to be alone in a room with me?" "To kill you." "Why are you telling me this?" "Because I won't do it." "You can scream." "You can yell at those cops." "They'll come in." "I'll run." "But the guy who sent me he'll just send somebody else somebody who won't quit until the job is done." "I found you in less than 48 hours." "How long do you think it will take the next guy?" "Now you don't have to take this." "I'm just saying, apparently you know what you are doing." "I'm single and I live downtown." "If you are who you say you are you must be risking quite a bit." "Why would you do it?" "'cause I'm tired of the part I've been told to play." "I don't want to do it any more." "I believe you." "What do we do about the cops?" "So.." "Some lawyer, a guy who knew how to fight." "And he kidnapped a witness." "Kidnaped?" "I'm pretty sure she's the one" "Who hit me with the frying pan." "You never filed a report after you lost Katherine." "Well usually they don't make us file a report after you quit." "You didn't quit until two days after she went missing." "Why the delay?" "I didn't want to quit until I found out where he took her." "Where are we?" "It's a safe house." "We're off the grid." "We should be okay here for a little while." "So you were hired to..." "You know..." "You must have been hired by someone." "Isn't that a good place to start?" "Ordinarily yeah." "What makes this out of the ordinary?" "The guy I work for or used to work for he's the best in the business." "He's the guy you go to if you want things done right and money's not an issue but his clients are usually corporations, intelligence agencies, billionaires, you know who they are, what they want" "But this time it's different." "Who was it?" "No idea." "Can't seem to get a straight answer out of them." "I know they want you dead and my boss is intent on keeping them happy." "But I don't know anything." "But you know something." "Leonore Fortier." "Until we figure out who that is this doesn't end." "Bed's all yours." "I 'm scared to go to sleep." "I don't really know what to do when I wake up." "This morning I knew exactly who I was." "I spent 32 years figuring it out." "It took a few hours for it all to disappear." "I wake up tomorrow it's like..." "There's nothing left." "Nothing?" "Hold it!" "Hey dude." "What's going on, dude?" "Phone's ringing off the hook." "Everybody's freaking out." "The old man calls saying Junior's off the reservation." "How did you find this place?" "I never told anybody about it." "Dude, it's me." "So are you going to tell me what the hell's going on here?" "Just turn around and walk away." "This has got nothing to do with you." "The old man called me himself to drop everything come handle this." "I think it's got something to do with me." "You've really lost your mind, haven't you." "I know you've been a little weird lately, dude, but you've gone fully around the bend." "She hasn't done anything wrong." "Who cares, man." "It's work, sometimes it's fun." "Sometimes it's not, I mean." "Quit acting like a baby." "Let's get in there and finish this thing." "You've got to go through me first." "Dude..." "Fine." "Not cool." "Dude, you're kind of putting me in a me-or-you-type situation here." "If I make a whole thing out of it..." "Get up." "Turn around." "Now your reputation precedes you." "I imagine at some point during that confrontation, you had the opportunity to end things." "Why didn't you?" "My heart grew three sizes that day." "What do you want me to tell you?" "Awfully cavalier." "Considering you're the reason we're here to begin with." "We lost Chance's trail completely until you reconnected with him." "That's ironic isn't it." "Your friends here would be safer had you remained in the employ of their enemy." "It's funny how life works out." " Morning, sweet heart." " Hate me." "Did he say anything?" "All I know is she was here." "They went together and he was protecting her." "Where are you going?" "I had the shot, dude." "Didn't take it." "Forget the book, that's game over." "Besides this whole thing is kinda looking like a family squabble, dude." "I'm just going to..." "Let me know how to turns out." "Yeah?" "I found him." "But there's no sign of Junior or the girl." "Don't worry though, I will find Junior and I will sort this out and then we can all sit down and talk this over..." "He's better dead." "I want him dead." "Can we please take a moment to think about who we're talking about?" "There's a client in my office right now who is about to become an enemy." "This situation is blown out of control." "You want me to believe you're as good as Junior then prove it." "This will all get resolved and you'll be secure." "That book should have never existed." "You fix this." "Or there will be hell to pay." "Back there he called you Junior." "Yeah." "My boss took me in when I was younger." "As a kid I just kicked around and changed my name a few times." "Eventually he just gave me his." "He started calling me Junior." "And he saw you as his son." "Yeah." "For a while it was about the closest thing I ever got to a family." "Like all family businesses eventually they hand the reins over and he wanted them to be mine." "What happened?" "A few years ago things started getting a little rocky." "The more I tried to figure it out the further apart we got." "If I were you I wouldn't know who to trust." "So what are we gonna do?" "I think there's one guy we might be able to trust." "There's a bodyguard I went up against a few years ago the best I ever faced." "He holds up in some warehouse." "If he's there he might be able to help us." "Ma'am do you know that gentleman you were with is an assassin?" "I know what he used to be." "But he's already saved my life once today." "I'm Katherine Walters." "I'm in danger and I need your help." "Nice to meet you Katherine." "My name is Christopher Chance." "How did you find me?" "You're the only guy who's ever flat out beat me." "Got me curious so I started digging." "There's a bodyguard named Christopher Chance in Minneapolis who died in 1927." "There is another one in Nashville, he died in 1954." "One in Brooklyn died in 1975." "Well, it ain't really a name least not one anyone was born into." "I got it from the guy who taught me." "He got it from the guy who taught him." "Christopher Chance is the guy you go to when no one else can help." "Which brings you to my next question..." "What the hell do you want?" "Hello?" "Hello, Ms. Walters, it's detective Winston." "Tell me where you are." "I can have dozen guys on site inside ten minutes." "After what happened, can you honestly say I'd be safer with you?" "I didn't think so." "I've only played offense." "I need your help to protect her." "We can't just keep running." "You figured that out all on your own, huh?" "Rule number one..." "Take the fight to them." "Dictate tempo." "Give them control and you've already lost." "What do I do with her when I'm doing all that?" "Never let her out of your sight." "In fact in my experience you're going to need her help to solve the puzzle." "You want easy, play checkers." "Does this really work?" "Worked on you." "Worked on your boss too, once upon a time." "We're not even allowed to say your name around him." "You really did a number on me that last go-round you know." "You had me dead to rights." "You let me go." "Do you remember what you said?" "Nobody deserves to die." "Sounds like me." "Before that I just did my job, slept at night everything was easy." "No, it wasn't." "It was never easy." "You just didn't know it yet." "Ma'am the man you saw die, Broner." "Couple of weeks ago he bought a ticket to get this." "While he was over there, someone used stolen I.D. to access a container Freighter called the Leonore." "Leonore is a ship." "It's right." "It docked at Alameda last week." "It might be just guesses, whatever this guy Broner had on him, it got him into this mess, he hid it on that ship and he was killed trying to retrieve it." "Interesting story." "Yeah, I thought so." "You know I got a pretty good idea why you wanted to get in the room with Katherine in the first place." "I guess the important question now is why the hell didn't you do it?" "Breakdown in civility, boss didn't trust you, questioning your choice of profession." "That wasn't all for show now was it?" "You and me both have the footage inside the same boat." "This girl is in trouble!" "She needs help and both of us want to see that she gets it." "Listen, Laverne you seem like a nice guy but as long as you're wearing that badge you can't help me." "Leonore is the boat." "All we have to do is figure out who or what Fortier is." "Maybe it's a crew member." "If you can get me in to the offices of the docks" "I might be able to find out." "Get your hands on whatever's on that ship." "It's the only way you're going to end this." "Could use an extra set of hands." "A few years ago maybe." "Not sure I'm worth much to you now." "Hey, good luck." "You're right, coast is clear." "Yeah I've been complaining about waterside security for years." "I guess they never listened." "Just stay on the boat." "No, I know the office, the people, the dock layout." "You can talk me through." "The bodyguard he said..." "It doesn't matter what he said." "It's dangerous." "There's too many angles." "I won't be able to keep my eye on you." "I don't want to put you in that kind of danger." "We'll get you out of this." "I promise." "Okay." "I'm in." "Log in is K. Walters." "Password is carmine." "Pull up the crew log and manifest for the Leonore." "There's no Fortier on board." "It has to be there." "Maybe it has something to do with the contents of the container itself, or one of the customers." "Wait a minute, Fortier..." "What?" "It isn't a passenger, it's a container." "40A." "The is an info page for each container." "If 40a is on the docks that page will show the location." "Bingo." "Row 16 north stacks." "On my way to the stacks now." "Hurry." "Row 16." "I think it's just up ahead." "Should be back to the boat in about 10." "Be careful." "We found the container." "And what was in it?" "Nothing." "It was empty." "Empty." "Yeah." "Wild goose chase." "You've got one lie left." "Two days ago I was on a beach." "Madagascar." "And the telephone rings." "What's going on here, matey." "Do you know what's in this?" "Don't care." "If this gets into the wrong hands, it can't be manage." "Nations fall, cities burn." "I... don't... care." "If anything you and me need to know about that book is that he wants it back." "I'll give it back if he leaves Katherine Walters alone" "Forever." "Think about what you're doing here, mate." "Are you willing to betray the old man?" "Betray me betray yourself all for this girl?" "I made up my mind, Baptiste." "You need to make up yours." "You spent the best part of your life trying to build something, Junior." "If you cross this line you'll be all on your own!" "You'll be cast out!" "That's just wonderful." "How the hell am I going to explain that?" "Just think of something." "You know it's unfortunate really?" "Because we're covering their books was the only reason I haven't killed her yet." "You left her alone Junior." "Who would have thought" "I'd be the one teaching you something." "Kaboom." "Katherine." "What you gonna do about it?" "Would you wanna be...?" "We dredged up and down that channel 4 miles each direction." "No case no book." "Where is the book?" "Why don't you go bug Baptiste." "He's the one who blew up the boat killed the good man." "He lost your book." "No police." "All that fighting the shooting the explosion..." "Where were the police?" "If that book had stayed in the water we'd have found it." "I know Baptiste doesn't have it and your friend say he doesn't have it and I believe him." "I always assumed they were the only ones involved." "But there was someone else on the docks that day a player I hadn't accounted for someone with the ability to call off the police." "You were there." "So I guess what I'm asking is..." "Where the hell is the book?" "What's your boss up to out there?" "You don't know the guy who owned this place before, do you?" "Of course you don't." "I barely know him myself." "Even though I didn't know him long he taught me some very important things some which I feel like I can impart to you right now." "Rule one..." "Take the fight to them." "Set the rules." "Set the timetable." "You guys have pulled this one off admirably." "But rule number two is a little bit trickier for you..." "Choose the battlefield." "Now you think it's obvious that you'd want to fight on ground that you know but this is the rule that people always ignore." "You know regression is good." "Home field advantage always wins." "Hello, Junior." "That's the thanks I get for coming to save your life." "I suppose I should have expected that." "It was good." "Lots of time now to talk." "Given we're both underpaid." "What are you talking about?" "I got your partner now." "So you want Wiston back?" "And I want my book back." "So I guess we're working together again." "I'm not going anywhere with you." "I don't think you have a choice right now." "I do." "Well whoop-de-do." "You still keep it as I'm coming in" "Yeah." "What a kind son." "What's it going to be then?" "How did you find me?" "I am a cop you know." "Or was." "Handed in my resignation today." "What happened wasn't your fault." "Yeah it was." "No it wasn't." "It's both our fault." "We're both to blame." "I know how you're feeling right now." "I know where you're at." "Nothing I can say or do that will change that but there's something I need to say to you" "I think you need to hear..." "You're not as tough as you think." "There's another way." "There's nothing we can do to save Katherine right now" "Nothing but we can save the next one." "Are you offering me a job?" "Are you looking for one?" "No." "Think about it." "Oh you know what, there's just one more thing..." "You know my name." "But I don't know a thing about you." "I don't know who you work for" "Where you came from hell." "I don't even know your real name." "Who are you?" "My name is Christopher Chance." "You know what to do right?" "No problem." "See you on the other side." "Chance!" "Going to get him back."
