After the Game Page #6

---

Think this is me?

Well, the...

The bra. The red bra.

Okay.

Well, I thought that...

Can I sit down for a minute?

Sure.

Are you all right?

You're not all right, are you?

Is it this contest thing

that you're in still or...

I'm sorry, I am being

a nuisance. I should go.

No, it's okay. We can talk. I'll put

some clothes on. I'll be right back.

Do you have an aspirin?

Can I get you something

to drink with this?

Is this you?

Oh, yeah.

That's first communion.

Show it to me.

What's wrong? Take the

picture out of the frame

and show it to me.

All right.

They're watching.

What?

Not here.

They can see here.

Smoke detector.

What do you say, uh...

Let's go for a drive

or something. We could...

No, no, no. I am tired of this.

I am goddamn tired of this.

We'll go for a drink.

There's a...

Who do you people

think you are?

Who do you think you are?

Come on out of there!

Nicholas, please.

Let's go, right now.

Come on. Just, come on

out of there right now!

Now you've done it.

So, what are they

going to do?

Get away from the window.

What the...

What is this?

Wake up,

it's a f***ing con.

Get in, get in!

You all right?

Hold on.

Get out of the car.

I could've handed you to them.

And they find me now they...

Get out of the goddamn car!

You don't have a choice!

No one else's gonna tell you

what's going on!

You wanna know? 'Cause if

I'm gone you never will.

I can't believe they didn't even take

the time to get the f***ing house right.

Who are they?

I don't know. Nobody

does. I'm an employee.

Then what good are you? I know

things like who you can trust

and that your brother was in it

from beginning... That's a lie.

Yeah? I was your waitress

on your birthday.

Connie told you about CRS that

day. Ever seen me in there before?

Sorry.

I mean, it wasn't his fault. I guess

he thought it was his only way out.

They fleeced him

real good.

How did they get to him?

Same thing to him

they did to you.

What are you talking about?

Have you checked

your accounts?

That night in your office I got the

number to your private line and modem

that gave CRS remote access

to your computer.

You gave them

everything else.

What?

You took their tests, handwriting,

voice samples, psych info.

They used it all

to figure out your passwords.

And Feingold,

the guy who signed you up,

he did 5 years

for hacking Citibank.

They only had to

keep you distracted

while they broke

into your financial network,

transferred your holdings

into dummy accounts...

Overseas operator, please.

Why else were they

willing to shoot at us?

Alamein Bank, Zurich,

Switzerland.

Because

they're finished with you.

Live or dead's the same.

Long as you disappear.

Yeah. Can I have

your code, please?

Yes.

Blue-two-backslash-0-6-0-0.

"D" as in David.

That's right.

The balance?

That's impossible.

They already got it, Nicholas.

They got everything.

You've reached the Sutherlands.

Please leave a message.

As you get this message, Sam, I have

checked them all. I don't know how,

but they have drained

my accounts.

They're trying to kill me. Now you call

the cops. I got one of them right here.

We'll make her testify.

I know how this sounds,

but you call me

on my cellular.

And you be careful.

They...

They cut your card

in half so...

My treat.

You take two sugars, right?

Never mind.

My name's not Christine. It's...

I mean, it's not my real name.

Who f***ing cares?

It is just money. You

should be glad you're alive.

I'd rather not talk

about it right now.

All I mean is

someone like you...

How many times

have you done this?

I'm curious.

What?

These scams.

Con games, how many?

Lots.

But, whatever nickel-dime

bullshit you pulled in the past,

this is more than just me.

This is pension plans,

payrolls.

This is $600 million.

Yes.

Nick, it's Sam.

I got your message.

I was disturbed

to say the least.

So, what are we gonna do?

I've been on the phone

for an hour already.

Nicholas,

your funds are intact.

Nothing's been touched.

What are you talking about?

I checked on them myself.

Who is it?

I made the calls.

Nothing's changed.

I'm telling you. Not one cent

is unaccounted for.

Who is it?

My attorney says that

nothing is missing.

He's in on it.

I don't know what the hell is

happening, but stay where you are

until I get there.

Sutherland's in on it.

Nicholas, I have another call.

Give me your precise location.

Nicholas?

We've got to

get out of here.

How did they get to him?

Why did...

I wouldn't worry about it.

What do you mean?

It's out of your hands.

Cellular calls

can be intercepted.

Those calls you made

to B of A, France.

B of A, France, Switzerland,

you were talking to us.

You were talking to us.

Filled in the blanks.

Access codes,

passwords, access codes,

passwords...

Stuff even your lawyer didn't have.

Stuff even your lawyer didn't have.

We have it now

so we're done.

Bye, Nicholas.

Things have happened

and it's important that...

Shh, shh, shh!

No money, no identification,

no passport.

What happened to you?

Where to begin...

It's complicated.

It always is.

I was on holiday alone

and I was robbed by two men. Robbed?

And what hotel

were you staying at?

I... I don't remember. I...

Have you gone to the police?

I don't speak Spanish.

And I just need enough

to get out of here.

Oh, we'll help with the local law

enforcement if you wanted to bother.

As far as money is concerned,

can I make a suggestion?

You say you were mugged?

And they

didn't take that watch?

How much is

a watch like that worth?

A couple of hundred at least.

Man with a watch like that doesn't

necessarily have a passport problem.

Excuse me?

Can I have your attention,

please?

Thank you.

Anybody here going to San

Francisco? I need a ride.

I've got $18 and 70...

for a ride to San Francisco.

Anybody?

Keep the change.

Thanks, pal.

Conrad Van Orton. Could

you ring his room, please?

One moment, please.

Is there a problem?

You're here for Conrad Van Orton? Yes.

I'm the hotel manager. Pleasure

to meet you. Where's my brother?

Will you come with me, sir?

Wait a minute,

is there trouble?

Sir, this is

a private matter for you.

There was some complaints by

other guests, damage to his room.

We did the best we could

to accommodate his behavior.

His behavior?

Yes, sir.

There was an incident

a few days ago.

A nervous breakdown,

they said.

The police took him.

They left this address

in case anyone came.

It's a hospital in Napa, sir.

I'm terribly sorry.

Elizabeth,

I need to borrow your car.

Nickie,

what happened to you?

I mean...

Look at you. Look at

me. What happened, I...

I don't know. I... There're just

some things I have to do, all right?

I need your car.

Of course, you can have it

if you need it.

Can't I get you

something to eat?

You know that

you're the only person

that I can trust.

Everyone else is...

If Sam Sutherland calls you,

you don't tell him you
