"He owns the place." "Mr Berger, this is Special Agent Stantin ofthe fbi." "Mr Berger, I don't believe you're stealing your own diamonds..." "least ofall, not in your pyjamas." "Why the heck don't you tell us what's going on here?" "This is my store." "I was taking some diamonds home-- my diamonds!" "You have no right to be here!" "I want to leave now." "Do you usually take two pounds ofdiamonds home with you like this?" "I can do whatever I like with my own stones!" "I want to leave right now!" "Mrs Berger is listed as co-owner." "Why don't we call her and have her meet us downtown." "No, no, you mustn't do that!" "Please, don't do that!" "Please!" "Where is your wife, Mr Berger?" "Please, for God's sake, help me." "He made us watch him kill our dog." "He said he would kill my wife next." "Get up there." " Hello?" " Mrs Berger?" "Please don't be alarmed." "You're going to be all right." "I'm here with your husband." "Now, please, let me speak with the man there with you." " Mrs Berger?" " Yes?" "Hit the lights." "This is Special Agent Stantin ofthe fbi." "You can see that the house is completely surrounded." "We have Mr Berger and the diamonds in our custody." "I'm going to give you some instructions." "Ifyou follow them exactly... no harm will come to you, understand?" "Tellthepolice to holdtheirfire." "I'm sending out the maid with a message foryou." "Okay, hold your fiîre."

"Just plug this into the cigarette lighter." "We've banned all CB use on channel 30 for two hours." "He spots one ofour tails, and we've had it." "Tell them not-- not to take any chances." "Right."

"I think he's going to double back towards the water." "Get your police boats ready and alert the coast guard." "Stop the carhere." "We're at pier 99." "He's got to have a boat waiting for him." "Try lining up a shot out the window over my shoulder." "Stay low." "Allright." "So far, sogood." "Now, turnyourradio up." "Put on the externalspeaker." "Get out ofthe car, bring the diamonds halfway down thepier." " Have you got a shot?" " Maybe." "He's right on the edge." "If I'm a quarter ofan inch out, I could hit the woman." "Too risky." "I'll try to draw him out." "Ifyou're absolutely sure, take a shot, but only ifyou're absolutely sure." "Stop." "Throwthe diamonds to the car." "First, send Mrs Berger to me." "Bullshit!" "lknowyou'vegot a sniper waiting there formesomewhere." "I'mgoing to keep MrsBerger right here in front ofme." "Now, you throwme thosegoddam diamonds." "Jesus Christ!" "That'sasfarasyou can throw?"

"We lost him!" "Where is he?" "Over there." "Flight 005, San Francisco to Paris." " The one with the unidentifiîed passenger." " Yes?" " A 1 2-year-old girl travelling on her mother's passport." " Okay." "Let's check the flights that left after we covered the airport, just in case our boy slipped through." "The only makeable prints belong to the maid and the family." "And the lab will have the fiîbre analysis for us in a few hours." "Okay." "Thankyou." "What have you got?" "I've called up every kidnap/extortion in the last fiîve years." "267 possible match ups with our MO." "It's as narrow as the computer goes with the information we have." "Then use the telephone." "Call the investigating offiîcer in each ofthose cases." "Tell him what we have, and see ifanything strikes a chord." "We don't have the manpower to recheck the airports and make those phone calls." "Round up eight other agents." "That's 27 phone calls apiece." "Start with homicides." "He used a 9mm automatic." "Check that against the suspect's profiîle." "Caucasian, male, 20 to 40-- I promise you, this guy's killed before." "It was too easy for him." "It's been 1 2 hours." "I thinkyou should shut it down and get some sleep." " I feel fiîne." " You feel like shit." "Look, I read all the reports." "There's no possible way you could have fiîgured out what was gonna happen last night." " What are you saying, Charlie?" " I'm saying that it happens." "It happened to me." "Remember that kid in Sausalito?" "Look, sometimes you lose a hostage, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it." "I know the speech, Charlie." "I wrote it." "Come on." "Walk me out." "Warren, you're letting this thing get to you." "You're taking it to heart." "You're saying, "Maybe I could have done this." "Maybe that."" "The point is, you did everything correctly, and that's all anyone can ask ofyou." "Now, go home." "Get some sleep." "I'll call you when I get to DC." "Okay." "Have a nice trip." " We've started doing those phone calls now." " Good." "Do you want us to call you at home?" "I'm not going home." "I'll be right here." "Good mornin'." "Nice day for fiîshin'." "I guess we must be the fiîrst ones here, huh?" "Yes, I know it's happened before." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry I didn't call the restaurant." "But we've been in the middle ofa terrible situation." "Yes, I'm sure it was terrible foryou too, honey." "I'll try." "No, I can't promise, but I will try." "Baby, I gotta go." "Bishop's Falls, Washington." "Sheriff reports the murder ofa tourist just offthe highway into Canada." " So?" " Large calibre wound through the victim's left eye." "Where the hell is Bishop's Falls?" "It's right over here, uh, to the northwest ofSpokane." "Book me on the next flight to Spokane." "And while I'm in the air, fiîgure out a way to get me to Bishop's Falls." "Crilly here found the body." "Agent Stantin, Austin Crilly." "Stantin's the FBI man, Crilly." " It's up this way." " Are you really a G-man?" " The last I looked." " Yeah, well, I'm a caretaker hereabouts, since the mine closed" "Jesus, Crilly." "Yeah, I'm getting to it, Dave." "So, I seen where the gate was bent up there, so I went to snooping' around." "And Judas Priest, there's this body lying there, flies as big as Chevys and" "Who do those cars belong to, Mr. Crilly?" "Well, sporting' folks-- uh, fiîshermen." "They head out from here and gather above." "See, the guide meets them up above at a base camp." " Bishop's Falls Guide Service, Jonathan Knox and Sarah Renell." " You really a G-man?" "See, this area is known to be the greatest high-mountain fly fiîshing in the world." "That's how we found him-- buck naked and his eye shot out." "He was killed outside, then dragged in here by his heels." "The killer wrapped this around the victim's head before pulling off his clothes." " Why would he do that?" " He didn't want to get any bloodstains on the garment." "We have to assume the murderer wore the victim's clothes out of here, right down to the underwear." " Holy shit." " Hey, don't step there." "What?" "What's that?" " Burnt hair." " What does that mean?" "All we know about our boy is that he has long hair and a beard." "And this is it." "Sam!" "Sam!" "Howdy, Sheriff." "What's the matter?" "You look all shook up." "Sam, we need a description ofthose men who left in that fiîshing party from the mine yesterday." "Oh, I don't know any ofthem by sight." "Why?" " You don't meet these people?" " No, not often." "They go straight to the staging area above the mine." "Is somethin' wrong?" " How many are up there in this party?" " Five fiîshermen, one guide." "Sarah" " Sarah Renell." " Dave, what's goin' on?" " Can we contact them?" "This Sarah, does she carry a radio?" "Oh, there's radios in the huts along the way." "Yeah, they were supposed to call me from Timber Falls." "And they didn't?" "They could be anywhere in here." "See, sometimes they go into places nobody's been before." "Jonathan will know." " And the border isjust there." " That's right." "I've got the county fiîre and rescue chopper standing by." "No, that would tip the killer off that we're searching for him." "Too dangerous." "Couldn't use a helicopter even ifyou wanted." "A storm comin' in-- too much wind shear." " And no roads?" " Not a one." " Who could guide me in there?" "Jon Knox is the man you want." "He's Sarah's partner, I guess you'd call him." "Mr Stantin, please, listen." "Sarah-- she's kind ofspecial around here." "Do you really think he'd kill any more ofthose people?" "Yes, I do, Mr. Baker." "Imagine living your whole life out here... so far away from people." "Well, it's a good thing there's a godforsaken wilderness somewhere... 'cause it's the only place thatJon Knox would fiît in." "Just what I need-- another psycho." "Oh,Jon's all right." "He'sjust different." "He doesn't feel real comfortable with people." "He lives back in those hills like a hermit." "Then Sarah came along." "In about fiîve minutes, they fell in love." "Fell in love?" "That makes things more complicated." "Jon, it's Dave Arnett." "I've got Warren Stantin ofthe FBI in San Francisco with me." "Mr. Knox, I know this is a diffiîcult time foryou, but I think we can work together and we" "Mr. Knox, I'm in pursuit ofa kidnap and murder suspect." "I need a guide." "Get your hand off me." " I understand you're the best." " Find someone else." "Now, you listen to me, Knox." "You are going with me." "Ifyou refuse to assist a federal agent in the pursuit ofa felon... you will be arrested for obstruction ofjustice." "Get out of my way." " You're under arrest!" " Bullshit." " You have the right to remain silent." " Move!" "I go alone." "Jon, the man has the right." "He ain't gonna make it out there, Dave." "He's only gonna get in my way." "Don't bet on it." "Ain't no elevators out there, mister-- no cable cars, no busses, no damn taxicabs." "So why don't you settle your ass at the motel, and I'll do what I do best." "Mr Knox, you've got one choice and one choice only." "That is to guide me into those mountains." "That is the one way-- the only way you will be permitted to help your friend." "You're not a vigilante." "You will be acting under my authority-- under my orders!" "Questions so far?" "Good." "And I don't give a rat's ass whetheryou like it or not." "You try going after this guy alone and your ass will be in jail so fast your head will spin." "Is any ofthis getting through to you, Mr Knox?" " Where's his gear?" " In the truck." " What the hell are these?" " Battery-powered, heated socks-- the latest thing." " Ed Miller sell him this stuff?" " Yeah." "It fiîgures." " Ninety-eight bottles ofbeeron the wall" " Ninety-eight." "Ninety-eight." " Ninety-eight bottles ofbeer" " That's right!" "You take one down, youpass it around Ninety-seven bottles ofbeeron the wall" "Ninety-seven bottles ofbeeron the wall" " Ninety-seven bottles" " Come on, I'm dying." "I'm dying." "Wait." "Let's not get sidetracked." " No, let's play, "What's My Line," all right?" "Huh?" " Ilove aparade" "What'd you say you did?" "I work with a moving company." "You know, furniture, household goods, that sort ofthing." "How about you?" "You know, business-- this and that." "You make a buck." "Like what, over the counter, wholesale, computers, what?" "Hey, you make a buck." "Who gives a shit?" "I'm just asking the guy what he does, guys." " Go, go, go." " I have an inquiring mind." " Do you wanna talk about something else like lures or something?" "Okay, you guys, we're gonna stop here for a fiîve-minute break." "Take offyour packs and relax a while." "You guys look a little winded." "I want you to stop before you can't talk without gasping for air, okay?" "Hey, Ben, don't get so close to the edge there." " This is not a good place to go river rafting." " Oh, hold on." "Here you go." "You know what I'm saying?" "I can't get this thing off my back." "It feels like somebody swapped out a Cadillac and slipped it inside my pack." "Don't you boy scouts know better than to be heroes?" "Sarah, my boots are killing me." "Loosen up the laces a little bit." "Don't take 'em off, 'cause you won't get 'em back on." " Okay." " How you doing, Harv?" " I'll live." " Good." "I hope." "Hey, Sarah, when are we gonna come across a radio that works?" " What was wrong with the radio at the last hut?" " It was busted." " What do you need a radio for?" " Weather forecast." "My knee got pretty banged up in football." "Now it tells me when the weather's gonna change." "We're gonna be at a lodge tomorrow night." "We'll have a roofand a radio." "Sounds good to me." "The last time my knee felt like this, it rained for three straight days." "Best fiîshing, though, in the rain." "My last trip, I latched onto a river... that was full ofthe biggest steelhead you've ever seen in your life." "You know how spooky steelhead are, huh?" "Oh, yeah, yeah." "The slightest little sound and they're gone." "Now, is this gonna be another wild fiîsh story, Ben?" " That's right, my friend." "And on this particular day, it was coming down in buckets." " You okay, Norm?" " Uh, where-- where was this?" " What?" "Where was it?" "What-What-What river?" "It was the-- the Fraser." "Up in BC-- British Columbia." " Anyway" " So, uh, you've never been on one ofthese trips, huh?" "No." "No, I always fiîgured the wilderness... was the botanical gardens in the Bronx." "What brings you on this trip now?" "I just fiînished going through a really ugly divorce... and I was looking for a vacation spot... where I was sure I wouldn't run into my ex." "And since she's never been away from room service for more than a minute in her life" "You picked a great spot." "The sound ofthe water is kind of lulling the steelhead... and the action on the river... is kind of bringing them up close to the surface." "How big do these, uh, Fraser River steelhead get, huh?" "What's up with you and the questions?" "They're this big, okay?" "Does that make you happy?" "Can I go on with the story?" "You can turn back any time." "You worry about your own ass, hmm?" "Easy." "There, there." "Don't get excited." "Don't get excited." "No." "No, the other way." "Wrong way." "Whoa." "Hey, hey, U-U-turn!" "Hey, hey, hey, you stop this shit now." "Wait." "Wait." "What have you got?" "Hello?" "Earth to Knox, do you read me?" "What's happening?" "End ofthe trail foryou, partner." "She's taken the route to Ryan's Gorge." " The horses can't make it there." " Good." "If I never see another horse... if I never ride another horse, if I never smell another horse-- no offence, horse-- it would be too soon." "Hey, I ain't taking no tenderfoot trails." "So you might as well turn back right now." "Maybe you're forgetting what I said back there." "This man is mine." "You understand?" "Now, what do we do with the horses?" "Okay, horsey" "Home!" "Home!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!" " Better walk in the stream a bit." " What'd you say?" "Helps to break 'em in." "Walk 'em out wet." "You're bullshitting me, right?" "Weird shit in the country." " Son ofa bitch." " What'd you say?" "I said, "I hate the damn woods!"" "You're looking at that moss like it's gonna sing to you." "Or are you saying your prayers?" "Come on, will you." "Look, mister, you might be some hot shit on your turf, but this is my territory." "So why don't you just sit back and enjoy the ride." "See the moose?" " So the doctor hears this terrible screaming." " Another doctor story." "He runs back into the examining room." "Do you believe this guy?" "He takes one look and he says, "No, no, nurse." "I told you to prick his boil."" " Come on!" " Oh, I heard that when I was 1 2." " I heard that when I was two." "All right, I got another one here." "Now, the old man" " No, no, no, Ralphie." "No more." "No more." " Let's talk about fiîshing or anything, please!" " Hey, Sarah, Normie's slowing down again." " Norm, you all right?" "Yeah, I'm actually starting to like it up here, you know." " Hey, did you guys see the view?" " Come on!" "So what do you think?" "Fifty bucks for the biggest fiîsh?" "You make it a C-note, and you got yourselfa deal, big guy." " Yeah, but I wanna see the lure fiîrst." " I'll give you a lure right here." "I can't believe I'm out ofshape." "Is this thing safe enough to step on?" " I like this." " God!" "How awesome!" " Did somebody make this, or was this already here?" " Quite a sight, huh?" " This is great!" " Holy shit!" "What in the wide world ofsports is that thing?" "That thing, gentlemen, is gonna take us across this gorge." " That's it?" " That's it." " We'll die." " Hey, relax, okay?" "I've been on one ofthese things before." " Oh, yeah." "Here we go." " No, no, I tell you something" " Yeah, tell me." "Tell me." " It's worse than it looks." " Yeah, t-tell me, Big Ben." " What is it that you haven't done?" "A trip to Mars, maybe?" " Come on, Mac, please." " Hey, I'm a fiîsherman." " Gentlemen, gentlemen." "Please, gentlemen, let's apply logic here." " Let us simply ask ourselves ifthis trip is genuinely necessary." " Come on." "Stop whining." " What's the big deal?" "Let'sjust do it." " There you go." " Now you're talking my language, boy." " You guys, wait a minute." "You don't have to do this." "This is supposed to be a fun trip, not hell night." "We can trek down the gorge and go down river a couple miles." "Probably only set us back a day." "No." "I'd rather die right now than miss a day." " He's right, I guess." " Hold onto that real tight, will you?" "I'm gonna go across with one ofyou and show you how to do it." "Then the others come across in twos." " So who's gonna take the big plunge with me?" " Well, when you put it that way, l" " I'll go." "Oh, real macho!" " Yeah, I guess, uh-- I guess he goes, huh?" " Is that okay?" " Oh, yeah." " Yeah, it's 'cause if I don't go right away" " Hey, fiîne." " Okay, great." "Thanks." " Yeah." " Okay, what do we do now?" " Now we let gravity take over." " Right." " Let her rip!" "My stomach!" " Oh, I don't want to do this!" "I wanna go" "Just look at the boys." "You're all right." "Norm, look at the tree tops." " Isn't it pretty?" " I wanna go back." "I wanna-- I don't wanna be here." "You're fiîne, see?" "You're doing real good." " Can you stop it?" " Sure, ifyou want." " It would mean a lot." " No, this is worse." "This is worse!" " Pretty exciting, huh?" " Yeah, so's a plane crash." " Hey, Norman, I want you to do something for me." " What?" "What?" " I want you to turn around and take a hold ofthis rope with both hands." " What?" " I want you to start pulling hand-over-hand." " Uh-huh." " And I want you to focus on that side." " Okay." " Okay?" " Okay." " That's good." " Like this?" "Like this?" " Norman, you don't have to push yourself." " There's a rhythm to things out here." " I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "It'sjust, uh" " I'm just a little nervous." " You're fiîne." "You're doing fiîne." "Well, we're almost there." "A little more." "A little more." "Oh, God." "We're over land." "Thank God." " There we go." " Okay." "All right." "Pull her in." "And then I want you to take hold ofthe log there at the end." " Okay." " Good." " Yeah?" " I'm gonna over to help the others." " When they come back, I want you to give them a hand down, okay?" " Yeah." "Sarah?" " Yeah?" " Your boyfriend." "How does he feel about you being out here alone with the fiîve of us like this, huh?" "Well, it's not really up to him, is it?" "Uh-huh." "I've always been pretty good at taking care of myself." " What's the matter?" " What do you think's the matter?" "Look!" "That basket's supposed to be in the middle and the rope's cut." "Take it easy." "Anybody could have doubled back and done that." " That doesn't mean anything's happened to Sarah." " Yeah." " What are you doing?" " I'm going over to get the basket." " Oh, shit!" " Get your pack off." "Put your gloves on." "Take this rope and feed me the slack." "When I get in the basket, pull us over." "Got it?" "Got it." " Are you okay?" " No!" " Try and reach the face!" " I'm trying!" "Pull up!" " Pull!" " Okay." "Pull!" "Stantin!" "God, what's he doing up there?" "Okay, hold on!" "Here we go." "You mountain men do this kind ofshit a lot?" "Every damn day."

"What's a marmot." "A rodent." "A rodent?" "You mean, a rat?" "Sort ofa big, hairy rat, I guess." "Yeah." "Oh, shit." "Hey, I know how you feel." "Me, I think oysters taste like snot." "Oh, shit!"

"He doesn't, so he needs a guide." "Come on." "She's still alive, and we've got to help her." "Knox." "Hey, this is Sarah's handwriting." "What the hell does this mean, "You ought know me by now"?" " Take it easy, Knox.Just take it easy." " What did this guy do?" " You said it was extortion and murder." " It was." "How do you light this?" "That wasn't all it was, was it?" "No, it wasn't." "Well?" "He had a hostage in San Francisco." "A diamond merchant's wife." "He killed her... after he got the diamonds... just to make a point." " What point?" " That I shouldn't have interfered." "You botched it up, so now you want revenge, and she's gonna get killed for it." "You listen to me." "That note is right." "I am getting to know this guy." "He'll only kill a hostage he has no use for." "Understand me?" "So long as you and I stay tight on his ass, Sarah will stay alive." "Now, let's get some rest." "We'll catch up with him tomorrow." "Go get your pack." "They already got a hell ofa head start." "Now there's only two ofthem, they'll move faster." "Then we'll move faster." "In two or three days they'll be at the border."

" Wait a minute, Stantin." "You're already exhausted." "It's cold, and it's gonna get colder." "There's a storm moving in." "Understand?" "I'm not afraid ofa storm." "You dumb bastard." "You could die up there." "And if not that, you'd slow me down so much that Sarah'd get killed." "So you got one choice, and that's to stay here." "You go with me, oryou don't go at all." "Bullshit." "You're not gonna shoot me." "You ever killed a man?" "You ever break up a bank robbery?" "I'm 22 years in the fbi, Knox." "I've come up against the Mafiîa, the Ku Klux Klan... the KGB." "Understand me." "I'm qualifiîed to go after this guy." "You thinkyou are, but you're not." "All right." "All right, I'll take you." "But you'd better keep up, because ifyou slow me down and Sarah gets killed..." "I'll kill you." "Sarah, slow down." "Stop!" "Sarah, wait." "Wait!" "For the last houryou've been getting farther and farther ahead." "What's the matter, Sarah?" "You're crazy." "See that?" "I'm not crazy." "You get me across the border, I'll give this to you." "You understand me?" "I'm giving you this." "But you pull any ofthat shit again, and I'll kill you." "Your name." "Say your name." "Warren Stantin." "Every time you lose your wind, you stop and say your name." "Got that?" "What if I'm too tired to remember my name?" "For ten bucks, I'll remind you." "Okay." "Okay." "Should've stayed in that cabin while you had the chance." "I have to go up the rock face, then up through a chimney to the top." "That'll save at least a day." "They'll keep to the valleys to avoid the storm that's coming in." "I gotta go over the mountain and right through the storm." "So when it gets dark get in your bag, get under my poncho, say your prayers." "You'll be okay." "When I get to the border, I'll send some guys foryou." "Oh,Jesus." "You stubborn son ofa bitch." "Can't you listen to common sense?" "Tie my rope around your waist, and I'll loweryou down." "What are you" " Oh!" "What are you trying to do, kill yourself?" " Tie it around your waist." "I'll loweryou down." " No." " I'm coming up." " You're crazy." "I'm coming up." "Fine." "Go ahead." " I can't!" " Good." "Now, are you gonna tie on?" " Are you gonna lower me down?" " Yes." " No." " Oh, to hell with you, then." "I'm going to Canada." "Knox?" "Knox!" "Change your mind about going back down, Stantin?" "No." "I want to go up." "All right, you pig-headed bastard." "I can't argue with you all day." " Tie it around your waist and I'll bring you up." " How do I know you're not gonna lower me down?" "Because I said so, you son ofa bitch!" "Now, tie on while I'm still in a good mood!" "Jesus." "Ready." "Well, you gotta climb too." "I'm not gonna do all the work." "All right, you push up while I pull." "Come here and light this." "All right." "Hey, what's all this smoke?" "You sending a signal or something?" "The wood's wet." "It's gonna smoke." "Yeah?" "We're not gonna have any fucking fiîre." "How about that?" "I'm sick ofthis." "You don't want a fiîre, fiîne." "We'll have sushi." "You want some?" "Hey!" "Jesus!" "My leg." "It's cramped!" "A cramp!" "Lay back!" "Better?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "You're soaking wet." "When it starts to freeze, you're fiînished." "Get your pack off!" "Find something to dig with." "Dig, Stantin, dig!" "Start digging, or we're both gonna die!" "Oh, God, you've gotta get out ofthese." "Your belly's ice cold." "Get up." "What" " What's your problem?" "You heard about us country boys, haven't you?" "Jesus, you smell." " Do I smell like that?" " Well" "Oh, yeah." "Weather looks better." "I think we should be able to make up some time." " Thanks for helping me." " Ah, don't mention it." "How do you feel?" "How do I look?" "My great-granddaddy was 87 when he died... and I'll always remember seeing him in his coffiîn." "So?" "Well, he looked a damn sight healthier three days dead than you do now." "Jesus Christ!" "What do we do?" "Don't move." "I know that." "You're the mountain man." "How do we make it go away?" "You can't." " Maybe we oughta throw it some food." " We are the food." " Why don't you shoot it?" " Uh, that'll only piss him off." "Let's backtrack." "But be real casual." "Uh-huh." "Casual." "Shit!" "I've never" " I've never seen a grizzly turn and run like that before." "Well... everybody else around here acts like they've never seen a black man before." "Why should a bear be different, eh?" "Which way, Sarah?" "Which way, Sarah?" "I can smell it." "We're right behind 'em." "Ow!" "Damn!" "Ow!" " What happened?" " I don't know." "It's my leg." "Stop!" "Please help me!" " Sarah!" " Get back." "You make a move and I kill him." "Hey!" "Hey, stop!" "Stop!" "Stop, okay?" "Okay." "Good, good, good, good, good." "Come on." "Come on." "No!" "Thanks a lot." "No!" "Stop!" "Well, halfof my refrigerator is gone." "I haven't checked the rest ofthe house." " There could be things missing, for all I know." " I'm sorry." "We're right in the middle ofa very big manhunt here." " I can't get anyone up there." "Jack, I know what you're thinking." "This is not the same thing as them painting graffiîti on the side ofthe wall or-or digging up the flower beds." " No, I understand" " I mean, when they actually break into the house, then I'm sorry, I can't" "I should've ditched you in the woods." "I should've let you freeze up there in that snow." "I could've left you hanging on that rock face." "You know that." "Aw, Christ." "Gentlemen, we have two new reports." "A motorcycle was stolen from behind the high school... and $300 is missing from the till at the Crown Market." "Now, I know it doesn't sound like much, but you never know." " Uh, we're about to go check out the market." " Mildred, we're very, very busy here." "They broke into my house." "The kitchen is an absolute pigsty." "I'll get someone up there as soon as I can." "I promise." "Okay?" "Thankyou." "Excuse me, ma'am." "Exactly what happened in your kitchen?" "Inspector, could you check to see if there were any long-distance phone calls made from this number?" "I don't think they were teenagers." "What teenagers are going to drink just milk and Cokes... when there's also beer in the refrigerator?" "On that side, the table and the utensils have been wiped clean." "Over here, prints everywhere." "Why?" "The suspect brought Sarah here." "Rope fiîbres." "He tied her to the leg ofthis table, sat over there where you are... and ate." "There was a call." "Vancouver number. 926-0484." "Bingo." "Mr Stantin." "Superintendent Hsu." "I hope my men have taken care ofyou." "They've been wonderful." "I'd just about forgotten how good a hot shower feels." " Hey, how you doin', man?" " Good." " This is MrJonathan Knox." " Mr Knox." " Thanks for the clothes." " Promise you'll burn these." " You bet." "Wejust fiînished interrogating the man the phone call was placed to." "His name is Fournier." "He lives out in the British properties." "Very expensive neighbourhood." "He's a diamond broker." " How you been?" " You're saying he's a fence." " What's up?" "We've never been able to prove anything." "He claims the call was a wrong number." "Phone company said the call lasted 1 9 minutes." "Yeah, we know he's lying." "Here's Fournier now." "Superintendent, I'm so concerned about that poor girl being held hostage." "I'm very sorry I can't help you, but I would like to know how everything turns out." "Isn't that a fiîne man?" "He and I havejust been to see your boss, lnspector Hsu, and I think we made our point... which is that ifyou ever bring my client down here on this kind ofchickenshit questioning again..." "I'll sue the whole fucking department." "Understand?" "Make sense to you?" "Uphold the law and all that?" " Why the hell are you letting him walk?" " We have nothing on him." "No grounds for charges." " We'll keep him under surveillance." " I'm sure your men will come up with something." "We appreciate everything, lnspector." " You'rejust gonna let him offthe hook, aren't you?" " Look, the police are doing everything they can." " Oh, Stantin!" " Look, mister." "You may be some hot-shit guy back on your turf, but you're in my territory now... so sit back and enjoy the ride." "What" " Hey!" "Hey, hey!" "Hey!" "What the" " Get your hands offof me!" "What is this?" " Shut up!" "Jesus." " Do you know who I am?" " Shut up!" " I could pick up the phone and have you killed." "Fuckyou!" " Did you hear that?" "He could have us killed." "What is it, money you want?" "Huh?" "You want money?" "I'll open the safe, I'll give you all the money you want." "Good, good." " Set?" " Set." "Two minutes." "What's that noise?" "What's happening?" "Huh?" "What's happening?" "Talk to me, goddam it!" "Talk to me!" "Let's rip some ofthe stuffiîng out ofthe couches." "Oh,Jesus, what, are you gonna burn down my house?" "Look, we can make a deal, huh?" "Can't we make a deal, for Christ's sake?" "You're already dead." "Dead men don't make deals." " What did he do, anyway?" " He stole two pounds ofdiamonds from the wrong people." " No." "No." "I didn't steal them." " Okay, we'll torch these, and the whole city'll come down on top of him." "I didn't steal them!" "I don't have them!" "Look, all I was doing was brokering them." "I-l don't even know where they came from!" " They could trace that tape." " Nah." "It'll burn right along with him and the rest of his" "You can get the diamonds back." "The guy who stole them is meeting me tomorrow." "Robson Square, noon, at the skating rink." " Okay, okay, 30 seconds." "Let's go!" " Okay." "He's the one you want!" "Not me!" "You can have the diamonds back!" "Just turn offthe timer!" "Diamonds, Mr Fournier?" " What are you doing here?"

" The wagon, the wagon." "On the upper deck!" " Knox." " What?" "He's on that one." "Why do you think that?" " That's the kind of move this bastard would make." " Stay back." " Hey!" " Hey, you can't go on there!" "Hold it!" " Where do we start?" " Right here." "You take the right side, I'll take the left." "Sarah!" "Get down!" "Get up!" "Come on!" "Don't fiîght me!" "Come on!" "Jonathan!" "Hold it!" " Let the girl go." " Fuckyou." "Come on, Stantin." "We've both been here before." "You tried to play games last time, got a woman killed." "Remember?"
