Assignment to Kill Page #5

---

I mean, both of you don't know...

Is that Walter's affidavit does exist.

Now, I didn't know that's

what it was when he gave it to me,

But, of course, that's what it must be.

She's lying.

It wouldn't be legal

evidence, though, would it?

I mean, something that

Inspector Ruff could act on.

But it would be just as embarrassing.

As Walter's live testimony.

In fact, now that he's dead,

It'd probably be even more effective.

Little Dominique is shocked

because she's come in contact.

With death and violence,

and now she's pretending...

Little Dominique isn't

pretending anything.

Little Dominique knows perfectly well.

That whoever killed Walter.

Would kill... someone else,

If he had the same reasons.

Isn't that true, Mr. Wilson?

Probably.

She's bluffing.

Of course I am.

There isn't a chance in a thousand

I'm telling the truth.

One chance in a whole thousand.

I just wonder if Mr.

Wilson can take that chance.

Ahem. Say, may I use your phone?

She's lying.

Sure, she is.

She hasn't got any

papers, because he didn't write any.

I think you're right.

Like she said, there

isn't a chance in a thousand.

Your drink, sir.

Thank you.

I want you to leave her alone.

I know.

What are you going to do?

You know, one of the

reasons I like you, Cutting,

Is that we are the same type of guy.

In our own way, we

think alike, you and I.

You tell me what I'm going to do.

Is this the concierge?

Yes. I'm calling for Mr. Cutting.

In room 236.

He'll not be taking that plane tonight.

Would you cancel that reservation?

That's right.

Thank you.

Do you think I owe it to

you to stay here and protect you.

Because I kissed

you good night last night?

That's sweet. "Kissed

me good night last night."

That's, um, delicate.

I'll be on that plane

tonight, Dominique.

You're a lot like Inspector Ruff.

He knows everything that's happened,

And he can't do anything about it.

And there isn't anything

you can do about it.

There isn't anything you can do anymore,

And there isn't anything

Mr. Wilson has to do.

That's right.

Well, I changed that now.

You picked a beautiful way to do it.

If Mr. Wilson doesn't believe me,

Then nothing will happen.

But if he does...

Then he has to make the next move.

And now...

If I have learned my lessons correctly,

I don't think you've got any choice.

Except to stay and see what happens.

You've been a very good pupil.

What do you get out of this,

Besides the thrill of it all?

Nothing.

All right.

You've shown me...

I was going to say a new world,

But I guess it's not.

I don't like what you've shown me.

I don't...

Like men who think like

Wilson and Green and Valayan...

Little men who make

their own little laws.

Their own big laws.

I don't like the way you think.

I don't like the things.

That you seem to be

right about all the time.

Maybe I can do something about that.

Ahem. Does that sound a

little melodramatic to you?

Mm-hmm.

Did Green ever discuss

Valayan or Wilson with you?

Walter never discussed

his business with me.

He would mention them now and then,

But he never discussed them.

He must've told you.

Why he was hiding for 6 months.

Yes...

Um, no,

Not hiding.

I knew there were people

he didn't want to see.

He didn't want them to know he was here.

In a way, I guess I

knew that he was hiding,

But I didn't think of it as real hiding,

Like hiding hiding...

For his life, I mean.

Now, Green was too

smart to sit in a hole.

For 6 months without some kind of plan.

How did he live?

Where'd he get money?

Well, he had a bank account.

How'd he draw money?

Walter Green was officially dead.

He couldn't just write a check.

Well, he had an account code number.

They are completely anonymous here.

Not completely. The

bank knows who it belongs to.

Well, I know that, but they never...

Do you know Green's number?

No, but I know Wilson's.

You know.

The secret code number.

To Matt Wilson's private account?

Yes.

It happened in a funny way.

It was really very funny.

Make me laugh.

Well...

Walter bought me a twin sweater set.

For my birthday.

You know, it's 2 sweaters...

I know, I know.

And I'm born on March 10.

I'm a Pisces.

Fine. Now just tell me the number.

Walter wrote down on a card

In Europe, they do it.

The reverse of what we do. We usually...

I know about that. Just please go on.

He wrote down 10 and 3,

And then he started to tease me.

About the year that I was born.

Because he thought

I wouldn't want anyone to know my age,

But I don't care about that.

I really couldn't care less about that.

So I wrote down the year,

And then he began to laugh.

He said it was very funny,

Because he had spent almost 5 months.

Trying to get.

Mr. Wilson's secret bank code number,

And my birthday, written down like that,

Is Mr. Wilson's secret number.

Well, you see how funny it was.

I mean...

Well, all the while that he was looking,

I had the same number.

I mean, it was my birthday.

What's the number?

Nineteen-f...

You'll know how old I am.

If you don't help me,

you may not get any older.

What bank?

It's the same as Walter's...

The Burger-Kantinel.

Investment and Trust bank.

Gesellschaft...

That means incorporated.

In... in England, it's "limited,".

And in France...

Why did he want to

know Wilson's code number?

I don't know.

All right.

Let's go.

Where are we going?

To get you some life insurance.

I don't understand.

You told Wilson you

had Green's affidavit.

That makes you a threat to Wilson.

I know it.

If you have to, you

give up the affidavit,

And then you're no longer a threat,

And you're not in danger.

But I can't give it up. I don't have it.

I was lying. You knew that.

I'll get it.

But you can't just get

an affidavit just like that.

It has to be officially notarized...

Months ago. Witnessed.

I know.

Signed by Walter Green.

And sealed.

I know.

How can you get a

document like that now?

Like I've been telling you... buy it.

- Buy it?

- Buy it.

I would like to have a paper notarized.

Passport.

American?

Yes.

What is it you want notarized?

It's just a statement.

That I agreed to represent.

One of the import-export

firms in your country.

I can read.

Yes.

That'll be 10 francs.

What's the meaning of this?

Those are the right words,

But you shouldn't look around.

It spoils the effect.

What effect?

Righteous, honest indignation.

There is a little yacht club.

Behind the embassy

building on the river.

You know the one I mean?

Yes, I know the place.

I'd like you to meet me there.

Why?

To notarize another document.

Can you get away for a few minutes.

During office hours?

Sometimes I can't.

What time do you finish work?

I'll go there now and wait for you.

And don't forget the

red sticker and the seal.

I'll wait for you until

a few minutes past 6:00.

I don't think I'll

be able to bring the seal.

Don't bother to come without it.

I'm not paying you

$500 to hold hands with you.
