"You want our help, you'll have to let me work on it." "Up to a point, I want your help." "And up to a point, I'll give it." "When do I get a look-see?" "In a couple days." "Guard said you were here until after midnight." "That's the way I work." "Somebody once said, I forget who that he never looked back, because something might be gaining on him." "What's gaining on you, Paul?" "Twenty-million-dollar investment, what else?" "I was gonna ask you to dinner but I don't think you'd be good company." "No, I don't think I would." "Might amuse you." "Maybe you've never seen a club like this." "It's a gun club." "We shoot guns." "So much hoopla from gun control people half the nation's scared to hold a gun." "Like it was a snake that would bite." "Hell, a gun is just a tool." "Like a hammer." "Or an axe." "Used to put food on the table." "Keep foxes out of the chicken coop, bandits out of the bank."

"A commanding officer, huh?" "Conscientious objector." "Oh, Christ." "What a guest to bring to a gun club." "You one of them liberals thinks we shoot our guns because it's an extension of our penises." "I never thought about it that way." "It could be true." "Maybe it is." "But this is gun country." "Can't own a gun in New York." "Here, I hardly know a man who doesn't." "And unlike your city, we can walk our streets at night and feel safe." "Muggers out here, they just plain get their asses blown up." "Here, slip these on." "All right." "This is a percussion pistol." "1842." "You ever handled one before?" "You know how to fire it?" "Watch the kick." "You'll think your arm's gonna hit the ceiling." "Goddamn!" "Paul, you hit dead centre." " Mind if I try this hogleg Colt?" " No." "You're a peculiar conscientious objector." " These notches for real?" " Yeah." "Belonged to a gunfighter named Candy Dan in 1890." "I do know something about guns." "I grew up with them." "All kinds." "My father was a hunter." "I guess out here you call them gunmen." "My mother was the other side of the coin." "When my father was killed in a hunting accident..." "Some fool mistook him for a deer, you see." "My mother won the toss." "I never touched a gun since." "I loved my father." "There are your hills." "Every house has a part of one for a backyard for kids, dogs." "400 houses." "100 more than you allowed for." "And you still have 12 hills." "I'm catching the 10:40 to New York." "What do I tell them?" "You tell them I'll buy it if they will." "You checking this bag in?" " Yeah." " Good." "A little going-away present for you." "Thank you." "Good morning, sir." "How are you today?" "Checking one bag?" "I can't thank you enough for what you did." "I want you to know if you ever get tired of living in that toilet you're welcome here." " Welcome home." " Hi, Jack." "I halfway expected to see Carol." "Let's go get your bags." "What is it?" "She's in the hospital." "When I last spoke to you, you said she was feeling better." "I didn't see any need to get you disturbed on a long-distance call." "Come on, Dad." "Don't do a number." "Don't do a number on me." "There was nothing you could do." "They haven't even let me see her for two days." "They tried insulin shock yesterday." "She's not responding." "You want technical jargon?" "I can reel it off." "Catatonia, dementia praecox, passive schizoid paranoia." "It boils down to this:" "She's had an experience she can't face and she's running away from it inside herself." "You didn't handle it right." "Oh, Christ, Dad." "I'll get other doctors." "Who are these doctors you have?" "They're good doctors." "She's almost a goddamn vegetable." "If you don't sign the papers, what happens?" "They keep her until the insurance runs out." "That won't be long." "If you sign the papers and she's committed, what then?" "I've got insurance that covers it up to $600 a month." "They've recommended a sanatorium in Long Island." "This commitment, is it a one-way thing?" "Nobody can answer that, Dad." "You want to know what they are?" "Statistics on a police blotter." "Mom and Carol, along with thousands of other people." "And there is nothing we can do to stop it." "Nothing but cut and run." "What a bummer." "That was the worst fucking movie I've ever seen." "You got money, man?" "I'll kill you." "Give me your money or I'll bust you up." "Oh, Jesus." "Good morning, inspector." "Good morning." "What do we got?" "We got a corpse." "One bullet hole in his chest." "Fellow over there was jogging, found him on the path." " The dead man?" " Thomas Leroy Marston." "He had a parole card." "Served 42 months of a 5-year hitch for grand larceny." "He's a drug addict, probably popping smack again." "We found this on the grass next to him." "The thing hasn't been fired." "Deceased had a gun clip on his belt, must be his." "What would you say if I suggested he tried a heist and got shot?" "Maybe two guys trying to heist each other." "No, this man wasn't robbed." "He still has money in his wallet." " Morning, Paul." " Morning." " Hi, Paul." " Morning, Sam." "Well, we've marked it out as you've indicated." "It's beautiful." "What's our profit?" "Not quite three million, but our investment can be amortised in two years." "It is a show-place." "Look at that wasted space." "Jainchill loves those hills." "Besides, it's take it or leave it." "It's too pretty to leave." "Okay, I'll run it for the board." " I may need your help, Paul." " Okay." "Tucson agreed with you." "You look well." "I feel good." " Was he a white man or a black man?" " I just don't know." "They were under that light." "I wasn't seeing good, I had blood in my eyes." "Well, was he tall, short, thin, fat?" "Frank, forget it, huh?" "Ride the ambulance to the morgue." "When they get the slugs out run them over to the lab for ballistics." "You saw him pretty good, didn't you?" "You're full of shit." " Thank you." " Thank you." "If we had the brains to live in the country we wouldn't be here for the reason we are today." "We'd be going into the city to work Mom and Carol would be safe at home waiting for us." "Nothing to do but cut and run." "What else?" "What about the old American social custom of self-defence?" "If the police don't defend us, maybe we ought to do it ourselves." "We're not pioneers anymore, Dad." " What are we, Jack?" " What do you mean?" "I mean, if we're not pioneers, what have we become?" "What do you call people who, when faced with a condition of fear do nothing about it?" "They just run and hide." "Civilised?" "No." "Ladies and gentlemen, we have to start this investigation somewhere." "So let's start here." "Motive: revenge." "I want the records checked." "Go back, say three months." "Limit it to homicide." "We could be looking for a man who's had a member of his family killed by muggers." "Now, he shoots that pistol pretty good, right?" "Okay." "Combat veteran." "Put Vietnam vets at the top of the list because they're young and tough." "Then work through Korea and World War ll." "Oh, my God." "Who said that?" "Whoever said it, you're right on the button." "By God and Jesus Christ, it's impossible." "But until we find a shortcut, we at least keep busy." "So when the media demands to know what we are doing we'll tell them we have definite clues." "Okay?" "We won't tell them we have 1000 definite clues." "Did anybody see what he looked like?" "We're in Commissioner Dryer's office waiting for a press conference." "Last night, there was another killing which appears to be the work of the person the media has dubbed "the vigilante. "" "This is the first official statement from the commissioner." "I can see the commissioner now..." "Good morning." "With me is Inspector Frank Ochoa who's been placed in command of a police detail assigned to what we've all been calling the "vigilante murders. "" "Now, it has been confirmed by our ballistics laboratory that the same gun, a. 32 pistol, used in the previous homicides was used last night in a shooting aboard a subway train." "Now, I know that this person has captured the imagination of many people in our city." "And I want to say to our citizens murder is no answer to crime in a city." "Crime is a police responsibility." "And if this person is listenina to my voice I urae him in the name of law and order to desist from this one-man crusade and turn himself in to the police." "He'll be aiven fair treatment." "That's our police commissioner, the king of clichés." " Viailante's identification?" " No comment." "Do you think he's crazy?" "He's aot a wire down, all riaht, but I don't believe he's a maniac." "It's rumoured the rate of muaainas has dropped." "Is that true?" "Not true." "If it were, would you announce it?" "Or are you afraid of imitators?" "I don't want to aet into hypotheticals." "I'll bet muggings are down." "One way to find out." "Take a walk on Columbus Avenue." "I think I'll wait for the official report." "Yes?" "You want to confess to the vigilante killings." "All right, I'll put you through to Rosenberg." "He's in charge of confessions today." "He's the 23rd." "Put him through." "We couldn't get prints off the groceries." " Wasn't there a sales slip?" " Yeah." "Here." "D'Agostino's." "Some of this code must identify the particular store." "Find out where it is." "Get records and check on families that have somebody killed by muggers." "Put them through the computer and see if any live near this store." "People are inclined to buy groceries in their own neighbourhoods." "Hi, Jack." "Come on in." "Make yourself a drink." "What do you think?" "The new paint." " It's a little hard on the eyes..." " On the eyes?" "It's cheerful." "Turn it up, I can't hear." "We got liver and spaghetti for dinner." "How do you like your liver?" "Hey, no drink?" "Let me make you one." "Listen, that's all right." "I'll get it myself." "I saw Carol today." " Aren't you gonna ask how she's doing?" " I went up to see her yesterday." "What are you so high about?" "You want me to moan and groan for the rest of my life?" "You want your liver medium?" "Medium." "I'll make it medium." "Hey, there goes the pussy posse." "Hey, mister, you got a match?" "Yeah." "What else you got?" "Let's see the money, man." "You'll have to take it." "He went that way." "Who rode in the ambulance with them?" "I did." "Well, was he talking?" "He said he cut whoever shot him." "Exact words: " I cut that motherfucker, I hit him. "" "Can't save him." "Too much internal bleeding." "One slug chewed up the liver." "Here." "Thirty-twos." "The mysterious viailante is in the news aaain." "Two hours aao in a subway underpass two men were shot." "One died on the spot, the other manaaed to reach the street." "He died shortly afterward." "The two men are Joseph Roscoe Adams and Georae Riche." "Both had lona criminal records." "The viailante himself may have been wounded." "The actions of a viailante, lawless as they may be seem to be aivina others a new attitude toward crime." "Instead of allowina themselves to be muaaed, a few are fiahtina back." "Mrs. Alma Lee Brown today successfully defended herself aaainst two muaaers with an unusual weapon." " Tell us, how did you drive them off?" " With a hatpin." " You ever seen a hatpin?" " I can't say that I have." "That's what we used to use to hold our hats on with." "I ain't aot no aun like this viailante fellow." "But I went to my closet, and everybody better look out for me." "Because I been robbed too many times." "And I've had enouah." "The men buildina this skyscraper made a citizen's arrest today." "Andrew McCabe, a foreman, will tell you." "Me and my crew was workina down in the hole." "One of the boys yelled down, "There's a muaaina. "So we come out and we cauaht this auy and rouahed him up before the police came." "The hospital reports the man had broken arms and cracked ribs." "No kiddina?" "Jeez, the poor auy must have fell down." "Walking distance from D'Agostino's two blocks across, six blocks uptown and downtown." "That's how far I'd be willing to walk to a market." "Good." "Very good, Miss Chamitti." "12 families within this area suffered a death in the past three months from mugging, stabbing, shooting, assault." "Two families have no male members." "One has only an 80-year-old grandfather." "That leaves nine families." "Total number of males in these families old enough to have served in Vietnam, Korea or World War ll..." "Wild." "It's a real wild shot." "But the vigilante plugged his first victim in Riverside Park." "Exactly two and one half blocks from that D'Agostino's Market." "Even if all of them are clean, we can't ignore that coincidence." "No, sir." "Our friend lives in that neighbourhood." "But, Frank, he was on a subway with groceries five miles uptown." "There's no better come-on for a mugging than groceries." "Means he's got some money and his hands are occupied." "He might have been carrying those groceries for hours." "I want a preliminary on these names." "Where they work service record, reputation police record, if any." "And I want it fast." "Like today, huh?" "It's probably having as much effect on crime as a Band-Aid on a leper." "I don't know." "A mugger will think twice about who he hits." "Sure, they hit more old ladies." "Paul, how you doing?" "Let me get you a drink." "The guy's a racist." " He kills more blacks than whites." " More blacks are muggers." "You want to up the proportion of white muggers to have racial equality?" "What?" "Racial equality among muggers?" "I love it." " What have you got here?" " Guy named Paul Kersey." "Wife was murdered in their apartment." "Interesting detail:" "The attackers gained entrance to the apartment posing as delivery boys from our D'Agostino's Market." " What else about him?" " He lives alone now." "Development engineer for Blueridge." "Served in Korea, medical corps." "Conscientious objector." "No police record." "His credits, reputation, excellent." "Conscientious objectors are unlikely vigilantes." " We got a finger?" " Yeah." "Over there." "Patrolman Joe Charles." "Good." "Good morning." " Joe Charles, Mr. Kersey." " Of course." "Good to see you again." "How's your daughter?" "The same." "Take care." "Follow him." "I'll see to that, Mrs. Cohen." "One moment." "You're not residents." " I'll call who you wish to see." " No, you won't." "The district attorney will see you now." " Commissioner." " You know the district attorney." " Mr. Peters." " Inspector." "Commissioner says you have a good suspect." "Well, he fits the bill in some respects." "We got a blood sample from the knife used on him in the subway and checked it against the sample I found in his apartment." "It narrows it down." "But he could be the man." "Yeah." "Yeah, he could be." "Suppose this Paul Kersey is the vigilante." "All right, let's say that." "We don't want him." "Okay." "Inspector, on my desk I have a statistic red-hot out of the computer." "Mugging has gone down by how much, sir?" "From 950 a week to 470 reported last week." "Not too many people know that." " And you want to keep it that way." " No, we have to keep it that way." "This city would explode." "We'd have vigilantes killing anybody who looked greasy." "You can see that." "We want this man to quit, desist go away." "To stop." "So the mugging rate can go up?" "Why not arrest him?" " I don't want a martyr on my hands." " All right." "All right." "I just want to hear you say it." "I'll try to scare him off." "But that's as far as I'll go." "That's right, Frank." "Scare him off." "Scare him off." "A call from an old friend, who wonders if you'll recoanise his voice." "Do you want it, or shall I insist upon his name?" " Okay, I'll take it." " I'm puttina you throuah." "Hello?" "Is this Paul Kersey?" "Yes, who's this?" "Mr. Kersey, you're under police surveillance." "You're beina watched." "Scare him off." "Paper, papers!" "Read all about the vigilante!" "Get your papers here!" "Read all about the vigilante!" "How are you this evening?" "Paper, papers!" "Read all about the vigilante!" "All right, get your hands up." "Hands on the car." "Spread your legs." "Okay, turn around." "Let's see some identification." " Where do you live?" " Thirty-three Riverside." "Sorry to rough you up." "We're looking for a guy by your description." "He's armed, so we couldn't take chances." "I hope you understand." " If you want to make a complaint..." " It's all right, nobody was hurt." "Thanks." "Good night." "Okay?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Went in the building 10 minutes ago." "Went to D'Agostino's first." "Let's check him, huh?" "Go to that phone and call him." " He's up there." " Check him anyway." "Police!" "I need the phone." "Come on." "Who is this guy?" "He said, " Police. " I didn't see a badge." "I'll call as soon as he gets off." "Thanks." "Yeah, up yours." "No answer." "He could be in the shower." "Stay here." " Good night, Mr. Kersey." " Good night." "Has Paul Kersey gone up?" "Yes, sir." "He went up and came down." "Just walked out." " Where'd you go?" " Did he show here?" "Can I ask a simple question?" "Is this Paul Kersey the bird?" "I won't ask any more questions." " Go home, will you?" "I don't need you." " Weird." "Come on down, motherfucker." "We gonna take you." "That's right, motherfucker." "And you can't go back up either." "Come down and bring us the money, honey." "How much money you got, honey?" "What the fuck?" "...units at the 26 Precinct." "A 1034." "125 Street on the West Side hiahway." "Fill your hand." "Draw." "All right, get back!" "Where's this patrolman?" " You're Reilly?" " Yes." " I'm Ochoa." " Yes, sir." " You were the first on the scene?" " Yes." "God bless you, sir." "Never mind that." "They told me on the radio you had to see me." "Paul Kersey." " You spoke to him before the ambulance?" " No, sir." " What did you get?" " His address." "Is that all?" "Well?" " You enter this on your report?" " Not yet, sir." "Why not?" "I was waiting for instructions, sir." "You never saw it." "Yes, sir." "Oh, what's your full name?" "Jackson Reilly, sir. 21 st Precinct." "Okay." "I'll remember it." " Do you have the vigilante?" " No." "Well, who have you got there?" "You in charge?" "How is he?" "Wounds are clean, nothing vital." "Soon as we get some blood in him, we'll sew him up." " All right if I go in?" " He won't be able to talk." " Can he hear me?" " He is conscious." "Police." "I'd like to have him alone." "Good evening, Mr. Kersey." "This is your gun." "We gave you a chance to get rid of it." "You wouldn't take it." "Do you hear me okay?" "We have here a peculiar situation, Mr. Kersey." "It's necessary to make a proposition since you won't favour us by dying." "You work for a company with lots of offices." "Get a transfer to another city and I'll drop this gun in the river." "Are we connecting, Mr. Kersey?" "We want you to get out of New York." "Permanently." "Inspector by sundown?" "There he is." "Do you have the vigilante?" " Like to give us some information?" " No." " Is the wounded man the vigilante?" " He's just a mugging victim." " What about reports that he is?" " False reports." " Then he's still out there." " That's right." "Was he shot by the vigilante?" "Mr. Kersey." "Fred Brown." "Welcome to Chicago." " Nice trip?" " It was okay." "I found a nice apartment for you on Lakeshore Drive a view of Lake Michigan." "Your office is ready too." "There's a good golf club we can play." " I think you'll enjoy it here." " Excuse me."
