"Left me a big ole bottle of Scotch." "He even sprung for the good stuff." "See you, Henry." "Why the fuck do I let you drag me out to this shit hole?" "You're a snob, Harry." "Eleven hundred people come through here everyday." "Hard to remember two fellows who pass it thru'." "Thank you." "Of course, people might remember them." "I know that kinda defeats your purpose." "I was an ex-zonal where you work without a network." "Try to get them suits that fit, they look like costumes!" "Everything went okay?" "It got done." "You know I'm better than you, you know?" "That's why they give you those jobs that can get a little hairy because.." "if it were to get hairy then you would take care of it and that's all they care about." "Service is rendered, no loose ends." "Fait accompli." "You're a goddamn machine." "You see things, you view people..." "Differently than I do, differently than anybody does." "But you got a problem, Arthur." " You need companionship." " I have you, Harry." "Oh, then you're in deeper shit than I thought." "So, how's Steven?" "Did I tell you that I got him a job in a private security firm?" "They kicked him out last month." "Beat some guy half to death." "Goddamn disappointment." "Always has and always will be." " Call him." " Me, call him?" " For what?" " Yeah, he probably needs to hear from you." "Yeah." "Let's go." "We'll get your money." "Come on, dance with me?" "Please." "You hungry?" "Sure." "I gotta go." "Okay." "Never going to tell me your name?" "Arthur." "Nice try." "You're no Arthur." "No, more like a David." "Or Brad." "Yeah." "See you, Brad." " Global Engineering." " I'm calling about the ad." " There must be a mistake." " One moment, please." "The advertisement was proved." "The information was accurate." "Call a meeting." "We'll get back to you." "Mr. Bishop, Mr. Dean has agreed to a meeting." "A private jet will pick you up in one hour and deliver you to a neutral site of his choosing." "You'll be allowed fifteen minutes." "The jet will then return you." "When we tell you to be home at 10 o'clock, we mean 10 not 11:30." "I don't care, baby." "You scared your mother to death." "You're grounded for two weeks." "Just one second." "That's not my problem." "Allright look." "Ten days and you volunteer two Saturdays at the shelter." "Eight days and three Saturdays." " Nice ring." " Done." " I don't get one of those." " I don't think you can." "Unless you're a world champion." "Just tell him to come out and fix it, honey." "Well, let's go." "I've just been out-negotiated by a sixteen year old." "Let's take a walk." "Six months ago we were commissioned to undertake the largest contract we've ever attempted."

"Only two partners know the details of any given job." "Two people knew the details here." "Me and Harry McKenna." "Harry sold us out." "We pulled his financials." "Take a look at recent offshore deposits." "There's one there made two weeks ago for twenty million US dollars." "He's gotten old, he's gotten weak." "He's loaded with debts, his divorce, his caust and troubled son." "That made him vulnerable." "And for the past 13 years, I have been fiercely loyal to him." "There's no one I respected more." "But Harry McKenna has poisoned the well." "He needs to be removed..." " Immediately." " Let me talk to him." "Look, I appreciate your connection with Harry." "But there's no turning back here." "He has "Crossed his Rubicon"." "Everyday he's alive, puts this company in danger." "You know we would all prefer that you handle this." "Given your relationship, you're in best position to get this done quickly and discretly." "And to be honest with you, I hate the idea of Harry suffering unnecessarily." "We don't wanna go to my outside source." "But we will if we have to." "Excuse me a sec." "Jess, negotiations are closed, I'm sorry." "I'm in a meeting." "Okay, hang on, son." "Forty eight hours or we'll proceed without you." "Hey, squared, remember the expression "Quit while you're ahead"?" "Yeah." "I mean, Roosevelt to be truthful is my hero." "I mean, the way he dealt with this damn chair." "Goldwin, pull your trousers up, will you, please?" "Pull you trousers up?" "You know, those suits doesn't really fit you guys very well." " Yeah?" " Get out of the building, Harry." " Arthur?" " They're coming for you tonight." " Who, who's coming?" " Dean." "Take whatever you can use against them and get out." "Oh, Jesus!" " Do you have a pair of scissors?" " Yeah." " Go to the elevator lobby." " On my way." "Looks like we got a power outage on the 18th floor." "You have 15 seconds to get to the service elevator before the emergency power comes on." " There's a keypad." " Punch in the building number." "I thought we cut the power off?" "Service elevators have to work on a separate power source." "I'm in." "Press the basement floor." "The elevator will take 18 seconds to get there." "The level is empty and unused." "Take the ramp." "It connects to the building next door." "Leads to an underground parking lot." "Shit!" "Security cameras haven't been fitted in this building yet, so they'll be blind." "Okay, you should be entering the parking lot." " My van's here." " I left it there." "Oh, shit." "I hate it." "You get me to circumvent my own security, eh?" "Nobody sees me leave." "So what's this?" "Cape Town, right?" "Yeah." "Right." "So what's the story here?" "Car jacking?" "Police will find my van somewhere in some shit hole section of the city," "Stripped, up on blocks." "Something like that." "Oh, a slight editorial revision!" "You don't mind, do you?" "AMAT VICTORIA CURAM." "Yeah, I get off a couple of shots, there's a struggle," "They get my gun." "C'est la vie!"

" No." "They'll just send somebody else." "I would rather it was you, Arthur." "I have to live with it." " Arthur fucking Bishop." " Sorry for your loss." "More of a loss for you than me, buddy." "It's a long time." "Hey, would you give me a ride to my father's house?" "Your father, talked about you a lot." " Talked about spending time with you?" " Maybe make it up." "Give it a rest, will you?" "You know, he always bringing you up." "He had regrets, Steven." "Yeah?" "He could have picked up the phone anytime." "I want to show you something." "I loved this place as a kid." "It's pretty impressive, huh?" "Everyone of them, served their country." "I guess I could still enlist!" "You know, make him proud." "I'm fucking with you!" "I don't know if you have a picture of him, but I thought maybe you.." "want one." "Looks like you're not planning on sticking around?" "For what?" "He didn't leave a will." "The accounts are empty." "Banks going to take the house." "By the time of the lawyers, city and state get through with the rest, there's not gonna be a fucking thing left." " Where you headed?" " Folk's place." " Need some money?" " No, thanks." "I got a guy coming to the house." "He's gonna look at the car." "I figured that will probably get me through on the next spot." "What about the guns?" "I was thinking about going out and killing myself a couple of car jackers tonight." "Just any old run of the mill car-jacker." "Yeah, you never know, it might get lucky, find the guys that kill my dad." "Going to make you feel better?" "Fuck if I know." "I will find out." "Save it up, Steve." "Hey Bishop?" "What kind of person shoots someone in a wheelchair, anyway?" "Yo?" " Hey." " Hey, you need some help?" "No, I think I got it." "I was supposed to meet a friend and I might of gotten the address wrong." "Yeah, maybe." "Well maybe the address got me wrong." " Nice car, man." "Nice car." " Thanks." " Can I have it?" " What?" "I'm releaving you of your automobile, motherfucker!" "Out of the car?" " Seriously?" " Seriously." "Jesus, fuck okay." "Okay." "Carjacker?" "Did you shoot him with this?" "Is this the gun you used?" "No?" "Hey, bad move." "Probably thought this through, did you, Steven?" "This may not seem like it, but tonight's your lucky night," "Raymond." "If anybody asks, you fell down." "Because we'll come looking for you." "Get out of here!" "Stupid to kill someone when you have a motive." "Might as well paint a bulls eye on your back." " I don't give a shit." " Whatever." "Get out of here!" "Fuck!" "I was thinking about what were you saying the other night." "And eh..." "I wanna know what you know." "Go online." "It's all on the Internet." "But I don't wanna read it, I wanna do it." " Do what exactly?" " Bishop, don't bullshit me!" "I know about you." "And him." "He was your mentor." "He chose you over me." "You owe him." "Now that he's gone, he left me with fucking nothing." "You owe me now." "Go home, Steve." "Still for sale." "You know you want it." "No other lifetime for this." "Want some advice?"

"You know what else he told me?" "That Harry was getting suspicious about a blown operation, was about to blow the whistle." "He had to be taken care of." "They knew just the man for the job." "Someone who could get to him." "It's not the fact that you killed him, is it?" "It's that they played you so easily." "That's what bothers you." "Am I right?" " Well?" " Not so good for your side."

"And here's what I'm gonna do." "Ten million wired to a bank of your choice within 24 hours." " It's a good deal, you should take it." " Not interested." "And a killer grows a conscience!" "I see that's a breach of professional ethic, Mr. Bishop." "Harry's death was business." "Pure and simple." "Well, it's not going to be so simple now." "You got that right. 'Cause now I'm gonna put a price on your head that's so big... when you look in the mirror, your reflection is gonna want to shoot you in the face." " You won't survive that long." " You're a fool."

" Together?" "That's up to you." "What you gonna do?" "Gonna widdle and get bunk pants." "Fold into a tepee." "Want a water?" "I've always had this... anger inside." "Now I feel like I have... a place to put it." "I think I would miss this if I had to stop now." "I could always go into business for myself and..." "A lot of people out there who would pay..." "And I think you were wrong." "Vengeance is the mission." " You want anything?" " No." "Last chance." "I'm good." "Steve." "Sorry for everything that happened." "You know me, man." "I give a shit." "Watch number two." "THE END"
