"I spilled a milkshake on my skirt, so I ran home from lunch." "I heard them in the shower." "At first I thought it was the radio." "But what she was saying, you don't hear on the radio." "I ran." "I couldn't go back to work." "For hours, literally..." "I didn't remember that I was involved with someone else." "I had been for months." "And I liked my life with Sam." "Things were fine." "What'd you do?" "I kept my mouth shut... and I never went home again without calling first." "To say that involvement" "I don't mean casual sex, I mean romance." "To say that that whole part of lite, half the fun of life has to end... if you told me that had to be over..." "I'd feel old." "If you had known about Peyton, would you tell me?" "Now, I mean." "I am going to run to the ladies' room." "Get me another one." "Broman's over there, dreaming up ways to remind you of my loss." "A detective came by the office today asking about Cullen." "I wasn't there." "Barry said he asked how much Cullen traveled." "He seemed to be particularly interested in Miami, who our Miami clients were." "Said he was going there tomorrow." "Is this anything I should know about?" "I have no idea." "I'm sorry, you're right." "It's too soon." "I wanna go home." " Wait till Wendy" " I'll get a cab." "Tell Wendy I'm sorry." "Leave a message." "I'll call you back." "Mr. Van Den Broeck?" "Hi." "I'm so sorry about Peyton." "Come." "We have a coffee." "February we shoot in the studios." "May, the keys, to get away from tourists." "Why come to Miami twice in a row?" "Why not go somewhere else?" "I would like to think it was my work, but" "I suspect so she can walk the city and sketch." "She loved the streets, the markets." "The Latin music." "Was there a man?" "I don't think there is a man, no." "What about after work?" "What did she do after work?" "More walking." "Sometimes the clubs, for music and to watch the dancing." "You know who she went with?" "It I can say... it you want to be with a woman, these shoots are not so good for that." "Did you ever sleep with Peyton?" "Your situation is very difficult." "I excuse the question." "I wonder it I could talk to somebody in your security department?" "Is there someplace we can talk?" "Stoli, please, on the rocks." "I'm from a little town in a little state." "And unfortunately, I'm in Congress so when you interview people... it's easy to start talk." "They might even stumble on the truth." "You can't want that." " I only want to talk to you." " I don't know anything!" "What do you want to know?" " How long it was going on." " So we know how stupid to feel?" " How they met." "Their plans." " I can't help you." " At least you tried." " Are you trying to be funny?" "No." "Not anymore." "Don't you fuck with me!" "It you don't like that word, don't use it." "Do you know what happens when a member of Congress accuses you of harassment?" "We get our names in the newspapers." " That's very close to blackmail." " I'm not a lawyer." "And I'm not some investigation." "You can't rummage through my life." "Who's next on your list?" "My neighbors, my staff, my friends?" " Then talk to me." " So you can paw through my marriage?" "Make me confess to something?" "It's my lite, mine to judge, not yours." " You're not the only one involved." " Look!" "If they find out about your wife, it's gossip." "It they find out about my husband, it's in the newspapers." "I have a daughter who adores her father, who doesn't know." "What do I tell her?" "I don't know." "Come on." "Let me show you something." "Nice, huh?" "I figure they would've had drinks here." " Want to see their room?" " No!" " They never got here." " Not this time, anyway." "She stayed here February 19." "Also May 14 on business." "If he was with her, he didn't register." "Did your husband like Latin stuff?" "Music, dancing?" "Why?" "He had the concierge book him a table at someplace called La Roca." "Cullen liked classical music." "You sure?" " What?" " Nothing." "You know what I do for a living." "I get paid to notice stuff." "I get paid to know who's lying." "I didn't have a clue." "Missed it." "I thought we were happy." "Not giddy." "Not ecstatic." "We weren't unhappy." "I wasn't." "I was pretty happy." "I don't want to be here." "That's Kay Chandler." "Hi." "Peter Suchet." "East Concord." "Voted for your dad." "Do you mind?" "honey, take another picture." " They took our picture." " do you know them?" "They're from Concord." "They took our picture!" "i bury my husband and go nightclubbing in Miami." "Stay here." " Where are you going?" " To get the film." "God no!" "You can't just mug some guy." "It'll make things worse." "You are a cop." "Is that gonna be trouble for you?" "What'd we look like?" "We looked like" "You had your hand on my shoulder." "You don't care who knows, do you?" "About her and him, I mean." "I care." "They know anyway." "Sooner or later everybody knows everything." "What time is it?" "My plane's at 9.30" "Little after 8:00." "Sure you don't wanna stay over?" "Yes." "Maybe we should split up." "We should've stayed." "I'm in restricted parking." "I took the Metro." "It's not running now." " I'll get a cab." " Where do you live?" " Northwest." "It's out of your way." " Do you want me to drop you or not?" "You know where we're going." "Why?" "Stayed why?" "Why?" "Because they did?" "Because they were going to?" "God!" "Easy!" "Goddamn it!" "Stop it!" "Stop it now!" "Well, that was tun." "Don't!" "Just drive." "Unbelievable." " You want to come in or" " Don't be ridiculous!" "Pick up the phone, you son of a bitch!" "you like scaring women?" "You come around my wife one more time, and" "No, no." "You come and try to scare me, asshole!" "Chickenshit!" "10.52 p.m." "End of messages." "Last number called: 555-4421." "Press 1 to connect." "Parkway Lanes." "Is George Beaufort still there?" "Hold on, man." "What the hell you" "Whoa!" "Back it up!" "knock it off!" "Take it outside!" "Get off me!" "Son of a bitch!" "Come on!" "Somebody call the police!" "I have your badge now, baby." "You better get a lawyer." "George killed that man." "Goddamn it." "You can't go around beating up suspects." "You're suspended." "There's gonna be a trial board." "You assaulted a man." "You can lose your job." "How tough would it be if somebody swears they saw George at that dumpster?" "I was thinking, if you went to see the shrink" "It wouldn't cost nothing." "Talk about Peyton." "It could help." "I don't need to talk about Peyton." "I could tell 'em you got stressed out on the job." "It wouldn't be a lie!" "Honk if you're screwin' him." "We could save a plane ticket." "Where'd you get that?" "Shirley Magnuson." "Says she thinks it's phony." "Says I'm settin' her up." "Setting her up?" "I take the picture, make sure it gets slipped to her, she uses it." "I provide a perfectly innocent explanation." "Ta-da !" " Her candidate's a mudslinger." " My God, you people!" "Pretty good idea." "I wish I had had it." "If you have to explain that picture, can you do it?" "Yes." "Jessie!" " Where's your bracelet?" " It's around." "You didn't lose it." "It's around." "What's the matter?" "It's not my bracelet." "What?" "Dad didn't have any clients in Miami, did he?" "He was with that cop's wife huh?" "What was going on?" "Something." "I'm not sure what." "Were they serious?" "That would be my guess." "Do a lot of people know?" "Leave a message." "I'll call you back." "It's me." "Remember?" "From restricted parking?" "So you picked Peyton." "And Cullen picked Peyton." "That's two-zip against the home team." "Have we been introduced?" "... she says, straightening her clothes." "I thought I should introduce myself, and fill you in on my plans." "I'm packing it in." "No." "That sounds like suicide." "All I mean is, like you said sooner or later everybody knows everything." "This will be in the papers." "I can't handle that." "I can't let Jessica be mowed down... by gossip she had nothing to do with." "But if i'm not in Congress, it I'm out... it's not news anymore." "She's safe." "You know?" "You do know, don't you?" "You're the only one who does." "I miss that." "Hey, do me a favor." "Erase this." "God, I'm glad you're not there!" "Kay?" "She's getting a lot of points for showing up." " How are you doing?" " Fine, how are you?" "Excuse me." "My contribution." "If you quit, they win." "And the crash got us all." "Don't let them do that." "I'm not the only one involved." "She should know her mom's no quitter." "I just want to say how impressed I am that you're staying in." "I have to say a few things." "The name of this group is friends of Kay Chandler." "I'm sorry about that phone call." "We're not getting much sleep, are we?" " I'm afraid of what's playing." " Me too." "Might give it a try." "Turn in around 3" "Cullen would be so proud of you." "I know you know." "I don't know how many times I've introduced Kay Chandler." "There's a lot between 3:00 and 5:00" "Australian football." "May I present your friend... your congresswoman..." "Don't go away." "your next representative for the second district of New Hampshire..." "Kay Spencer-Chandler!" "Thank you." "Thank you, Richard." "Thank you all." "It's good to be home." "I wanted to say just a word." "Just a few words." "You're all being very nice to me." "I don't want to disappoint you." "But I just don't want to talk politics tonight." "I'm just glad to be home." "Richard and Wendy, thank you so much." "Thanks, all of you, for your friendship, your support... for showing up here tonight." "Thanks." "I mean it." "Don't anybody leave without me getting a chance to talk to you, okay?" "We love you, Kay!" "Well done, Kay." "Very nice." "I want a chance to talk to you." " You told me 15 times already." " Do you have the number?" "Sorry." "I wish I could get out of the party." " No way." " Some of these are $1,000 folks." "I just wish I didn't have to go!" "It was good of you to come." "It was our party." "kinda had to." "I appreciate it, that's all." "Thank you." " Get a ticket?" " A road map." "Maybe someone thought it fell out of my car." "Listen, time to commit." "All the way in or not?" "It you're not gonna run, we need to return that fund-raiser money quickly." "Maybe I'll take a day." "Do some thinking." "i'll be around." "I was wondering if you'd come." "A guy like you, a girl like me, what reason could there be not to?" "Sorry I'm late." "I had to change a few times and pack." "I thought if I packed real light, it'd look like I knew what I was doing." "But then I didn't know what I was doing... so I didn't know what to pack." "Where are we exactly?" "Chesapeake Bay's a couple miles off that way!" "I won't make small talk." "I don't want there to be any junk between us." "No littering." "There's so many reasons I might be doing this." "I kept thinking I'll go one more mile, and then I'll... turn around and" "I was thinking about your mouth." "Nobody knows who I am anymore." "Nobody knows how easily I could do this." "I know who you are." "I have to know something." "Are you a democrat?" "What if I am?" "We'd talk." "I'd give you books to read." "I like it when there's just the two of us." "Are you hungry?" "I'm hungry." "No TV?" "Is there a phone?" "Not so far." "What's that like?" "Quiet." "What is this?" "Do you know?" "Heineken." "The start of something?" "Yeah." "That's what I thought." "I want to know who is this woman wearing my clothes... and using my body." "Is she permanent?" "Or is she only around when you are?" "I say we hide here for a couple of years and make a run for the border." "I always thought when I had my time in..." "I'd like to live down here." "Start a little security service." "The raccoons are knocking over the garbage cans?" "A lot of Washington-Baltimore people have places on the water here." "They always think they're gonna get robbed." "You had plans." "I don't think we had any plans." "I always wanted a boat." "One you could sleep on." "We've got a boat." "Defense rests." "Get it?" "I've got a boat." "I'll give it to you." "I don't trust this any more than you do." "But you're the only thing that's real." "Let me ask you something tough." "Are you sorry the plane went down?" "What are you doing?" "Think about it." "You can have it all back the way it was... but you gotta take it all." "He's lying." "he's screwing another woman." " Laughing at how easy we are to fool." " Stop. don't do that." "I'm done with them." "Done with them!" " The thing is" " Stop." "Come on." "Let's go home!" "You know those drugstore kits that tell you when you're pregnant?" "They should have one that tells you when you're sane." "I think they had a place they'd meet." "An apartment makes sense." "How could it make sense?" "No driving." "No motels." "If they did, they did." "They're on their own." "This was in her desk at work." "Is that why you drew the map?" "Is that why you came to Concord?" "I came to Concord 'cause I didn't want you to quit." " People have keys." " Did you see one like this?" " No!" " In his luggage maybe?" "So they had a place." "They're not there anymore!" "And I don't care." "I just don't care!" "Then maybe you didn't lose that much." "Or you're lying to yourself." "The sun's going down." "It's time to go." "When will you be back?" "The roof's got a leak." "I've got time... so thought I'd try and make it worse." "Maybe we'll never get clear the way we met... maybe we'll find we'll never be alone." "But I don't want us to lose this chance." "If it's just gonna be about them, it it's always gonna be four of us" "You be careful driving home." "Thanks for driving all the way to Concord." "And for the contribution." "That was something." "And I don't even live in your district." "You have one message." "It's me, Wendy." "Where have you been?" "I have $50,000 from your friends and neighbors, and nobody to give it to." "What do you wanna do?" "Lunch tomorrow?" "Give me a call." "Come on, Alcee!" "Just get me a picture." "Head shot's okay." "Give me the photo from his I.D." "All right." "I'll call you when I get back." "I want Jessica out there, smiling like Chelsea and keeping her mouth shut." "Her job is good kid, no opinions." "She can wear jeans." "No short-shorts, no bra tops." "No Jessica." "She's in school." "school?" "I thought we're trying to win an election." "No Jessica." "I don't want her" "I think I may be losing what it takes to lie." " This may become a problem." " Let's take a break." "I'm not liking this." "We're telling the whole southeast side a police officer's a murder suspect." "You think George ain't gonna hear?" "You're not supposed to be working!" "That's why you're here." "Shyla!" "you in there?" "Hello?" "Anybody home?" "Hey, Shyla, we need to talk a second." "Can we come in?" " No!" "you can't come in." " You want to come out then?" "You get outta here!" "Folks see I'm talking to you, my ass is in trouble." "Goddamn it, Dutch!" "Come on, man!" " You got no right in here!" " I ain't gonna hurt you." "Let's go." "You got no warrant." "She's already said no." "If my brother was facing 15 months looking at one picture wouldn't hurt." "Seen this man before?" "That's Big George." "I see him all over." "Did you see him in the alley the night we found the body?" "You didn't maybe see him dump the man in the Dumpster?" "Maybe with somebody else?" "Look again." "Maybe it'll come back to you." "Any chance your brother'll get out?" "That's it!" "You didn't see the man." "We're sorry to have disturbed you." "I want you out right now!" "Out now!" "What the hell's the matter with you?" "Dutch, I'm sorry about your wife." "But you want George to come after you?" "Is that it?" "So you can shoot him?" " You got tired of working cheap?" " What?" "You know goddamn well he's guilty." "Why are you protecting him?" "Is he paying you now?" "Oh, man." "Here." "I feel like a bagman." "There's cash in there so be careful." "Well, guess what?" "Cullen was having an affair" "Tru says the ahi tuna's incredible here." "That's why he was going to Miami." "How long?" "What's the difference?" "Is being deaf, dumb and blind a liability for a congresswoman?" "I think he kept an apartment that I don't know about." " Would you like to hear our specials?" " Give us a minute, please." "I thought maybe..." "Cullen had told Richard... and Richard had said something." "Hey, come on!" "It's only adultery." "Nobody gives a damn, except the people it's happening to... and it's not happening to you" "My God!" "Oh, Kay, please give me a chance to explain." "Shut up." "It didn't mean" " I was always gonna tell you." " Where is it?" "It's been over a year." "I haven't been there." "Where is it?" "The Colton Building on Rhode Island." "It's just stupid." "I'm not very hungry." "If you can get the check, please?" "Stop, please." "Listen to me, because..." "If we don't see you, then Richard will know." "I can't keep seeing you so your husband won't know you've been screwing mine." "Please." "I need to tell you how rotten I feel." "Let me go." " Hello?" " Hello." "It's me." "Bad time?" "How's the roof?" "Lousy." "Is something wrong?" "Want to get something to eat?" "Sure." "I'm not that hungry, but I want to see you!" "Everything all right?" "Weren't you ever tempted to cheat on Peyton?" "Tempted?" "Yeah. sure." "Why didn't you?" "Maybe I did." "i don't think so." "I wonder how they got their laundry done if they had a place." "You think this- everything that happened... you think it's... made you different?" "different how?" "More suspicious?" "Maybe." "But here I am." "I'm leaving you tomorrow." "I knew we should've gone to McDonald's." "I have to try to get elected." "I lost a friend today... being suspicious." "What happens if you don't get elected?" "Country goes to hell." "And I go home... for keeps." "But you're gonna beat this guy, right?" "When I get back" "I'll be here." "I'll nail his ass!" "Here you go." "Back Friday." "Wait a second." "You've got some dry cleaning." "Sorry." "Saks Fifth Avenue." " Employees entrance." " I'll get him." "Sorry." " Ladies' room." " Mary Claire?" "Oh, yeah." "You wouldn't believe all the keys I've got." "I've got a key to Vic Tanny's in Rochester." "keys to the ones in Westchester." "I don't think there was an apartment." "She was always here!" "There wasn't time." "No, wait." "She gave me a phone number once." "She was on her way to a meeting." "Just a minute." "Yeah, this is it." "Yeah." "In the bottom in pencil." "Go right ahead." "May I have a 911 supervisor, please?" "This is Sergeant van Den Broeck, D.C. Internal Affairs. 9114." "I need an address please for a telephone number." "How long did you know?" "Did you know when you came to Miami?" "No." "How could you ever think" "When you came to my cabin, did you know then?" "I found out yesterday." "So you knew last night." "When were you gonna tell me?" "I thought" "I thought maybe years from now... when it's behind us." "What did you find?" "Nothing." "Dutch, you weren't- We had a pact." "Then what the hell are you doing here?" "I want to finish it." "I want it over." "That your purse?" "What'd you find?" "What did you find?" "There's nothing here." "Oh, Christ!" "I can smell her perfume." "Stop it, Dutch." "There's nothing here." "There's gotta be something left." "Some" "Some sign." "Stop it!" "You'll never find what you're looking for." "Never!" "You want to know why, and there is no why." "Don't." "In case you check in, I'm heading for the airport early." "Meet me for coffee." "Hi, it's me!" "I'm running late." "There was something I needed to do." "If I'm not there, go without me." "I'll get the next plane and meet you." "What are we doing?" "Do you know?" "We made love that morning." "That's why she was late." "Shit!" "Get an ambulance!" "Get out of the car!" "Get out!" "Help!" "Kay Chandler." "Congresswoman from New Hampshire." "Police reports her husband was getting it on with Van Den Broeck's wife." "Evidently a love shack." "You all right?" "The press is out there, and they know you're here." "They could get hungry and go somewhere for a hamburger." "How we gonna handle this?" "Handle it!" ""Handle" is when you've got a client who'll tell you what's going on!" "We can assume they'll want to know how well the congresswoman knows the cop." " How are we gonna handle this?" " I don't know." "It we get back to New Hampshire and let this age a day" "A back elevator will get us out through the basement." "He's right." "What time is it?" "Almost midnight." "Somebody stole my watch." "Where's Alcee?" "He said he'd come by tomorrow." "I was trying to catch up with you." "What were you gonna say?" "I don't know what I was gonna say." "I just " "I just didn't want you to leave, not like that anyway." "Welcome back." "Hungry?" "Where's my watch?" "They need you in x ray." "Listen." "I probably never would've told you about the place, either." "All I wanted" "What I want really... is just to find some way to let her go... and move on." "I don't know how you do that." "Neither do I." "It's not a crime." "You loved your wife." "And you still do." "All set. let me see if I can find a couple of orderlies." "Will you hang around?" "I can't." "You're supposed to be nice to me." "I've been shot." "We did okay." "We did the best we could... under the circumstances." "Ready, Sergeant?" "It's time for you to go." "Me too." "Will that be allright?" "So long, Kay." "Here she comes." "I've got to catch a plane, but if you can make it short." "We've been told your husband was having an affair with Van Den Broeck's wife." "That they had an apartment, and that's where you were." "Is that correct?" "Yes, it is." "Could you characterize your relationship with the sergeant?" "Sergeant Van Den Broeck's wife was killed on the plane with my husband." "I met the sergeant a few days after that day." "He was a friend when I needed a friend." "I hope he feels the same way." "You're just friends?" "Just friends." "We are surely friends." "We've seen each other through something." "We're more than friends, we're survivors." "Now, you'll have to excuse me." "I really have to get home." "Can you tell us anything more of the sergeant's condition?" "Is he responsive?" "Bye, Mom." "Bye, Mrs. Chandler." "Merry Christmas." "Merry Christmas." "Do I know you?" "I'm Ted Baker." "I work for Mr. Cornelius." "You said we could" "Yeah, sure." "Make yourselves at home." "Hello, Kay." "Hi, Sergeant." "Lieutenant." "They made me a lieutenant." "All I had to do was get shot." "Can I get you something?" "Stoli on the rocks." "I haven't had one of those in a while." "I've got a plane." "I don't have time." "What's with those New Hampshire voters?" "They crazy or what?" "I think they could tell I didn't want the job." "Or maybe I wanted the job, I didn't want to do what you have to do to get it." " So you're out of work." " I guess I am." "Are you as well as you look?" "Leg is a little stiff." "But I think I'm gonna be okay." "You?" "How's that football in Australia?" "I tune in once in a while." "Not like before." "I was a real fan." "I gotta tell you something." "I thought I might run into you here." "Where are you going?" "That's the thing." "Nowhere." "I called your office and they said you were headed home." "My flight's overbooked." "Go later." "Take another plane." "Come on." "It's my Christmas present, running into you." "What'd you get me?" "How 'bout I call you up sometime in New Hampshire?" "And say what?" "Say, "You wanna go to a movie?"" "What do you say?" "Wouldn't that be something?"
