Assignment to Kill Page #7

---

you more than a few hours.

To learn all about that account.

Don't get up, Matt. I know the way out.

We all make mistakes, Mr. Cutting,

But I never made any big ones.

You couldn't bring yourself

to do those sort of things...

Hang a man on perjured testimony,

Release all those lies.

He could do it.

I could do it.

You can't do it.

This is our first meeting, Mr. Valayan.

I'd say we have one more to go.

How long you planning

to stay, Mr. Cutting?

Not very long, I'm afraid.

Pity. It can be very

nice here this time of year.

I hope to stay longer next time.

Good.

Good-bye, Miss Valayan.

Good day, sir.

Whoo!

Wait!

Come on!

Let's go.

I'm sorry. You've made a mistake.

No, I haven't.

I know.

I don't know you, you don't know me,

But then...

Nobody knows anybody here.

And you're invited.

I... I'll be in later.

Now, you're lying to me.

Well, wait for me anyway.

Aw, listen. Come

on, we're short of men...

Your kind of man.

Uh, give me 5 minutes.

All right, but don't forget.

I'll look forward to it.

Why?

Please tell me why

you're so mean to me

so careless and mean

you mean so much to me

oh, please tell me why

don't just sit and sigh

I just got to know

'cause I love you so, baby

what makes you so mean?

So heartless and mean

so mean to me

why?

Yt's just got to be known

your heart's made of stone

no, you don't let it be told

but you know you're so cold

I'm just an old plaything

sadly caught on your string

you're tied to my heart

but you're never caught

why are you so mean?

Please, please, don't be mean

so mean to me

why

should I tell you a lie?

When you know I'm the

book you wrote, baby.

Pick 'em up.

Don't you realize?

You've got me hypnotized

to your music I dance

I'm your love, your romance

what more can I do

to just be with you?

Where's your love for me

since you started to be

so mean to me?

Why, why, why?

Baby, baby

baby, baby

your magic touch

takes me on a trip

that I dig

a little too much

we're a pitiful pair

beginning to wear

you must get a thrill

stripping me of my will

since you started to be

so thoughtless with me

so mean to me

why

must we go on this way?

Misery for days

but it would be squared

if you don't care

yes, please tell me why.

Aah!

Ive just gotta know

'cause I love you so

baby, what makes you so mean?

So cruel and mean

so mean.

Yeah?

This is Curt Valayan

speaking, Mr. Cutting.

Ah, I was expecting your

call. What time is it?

I wish to speak to you.

Good. Have Matt Wilson there.

I'd prefer to speak to you alone.

I'd rather he was there.

Very well. Come to

my chalet immediately.

First, I'm going to take a shower,

I'm going to have breakfast,

And then I'll come to

your chalet immediately.

Doesn't that seem

to make sense, Inspector?

I think that's

probably what happened,

And I would say there

was a party last night.

There's 2 or 3 parties

every night in the hotel.

Yes. The party must

have been in progress,

And this man,

Under the influence of alcohol,

Stepped off the balcony to take a walk.

Then it was an accident?

That is my decision.

It was an accident. Write it down.

Case closed.

I've never waited 2 hours

for any man in my life.

You also said you never misjudged a man.

What was Matt's explanation.

About what you learned?

I've not asked him for an explanation.

I'd prefer it be discussed now.

Between the 3 of us.

I prefer to discuss it privately...

Without him.

You told me you wanted Matt here.

I wanted him here because

I wanted him to know.

That we're talking about him.

Now I don't want him here.

You can't give orders

in my house, Mr. Cutting.

If I'm being rude, Mr. Valayan,

Ask me to leave.

I'm sure Matt could give you

Without my being here,

But any explanation.

Would leave some shadow of doubt.

In a strange way, I'm the only one.

Who can clear the air between you.

Now, if Matt has nothing to fear,

Then, uh...

There's no reason for him to fear.

Leaving us alone.

You're a strange man, Mr. Cutting.

Yesterday, you proposed

an attack upon me...

A lie which you knew wouldn't work.

Today, you demand that

I have Matt Wilson present,

And then you send him away.

You're not a fool...

Neither am I...

But I still don't understand

what it is you really want.

I told you yesterday.

I want Matt Wilson.

Don't be ridiculous.

That report you got on Wilson's account.

Showed an unusual

amount of money going in...

Or going out, or going in and out.

You mean to say you don't know?

It makes no difference.

It's only the strange

activity of the account.

That matters.

That lie we discussed yesterday.

About your oil leases

being confiscated...

The reason you were puzzled.

Was because I wasn't speaking to you.

I was telling Matt that I knew.

It's not a lie.

What are you talking about?

You're going to lose them.

In fact, the deal's already been made.

By whom?

The strange activity

of Matt Wilson's account.

Walter Green was also not a fool.

He was banking his

life on exposing Wilson.

He couldn't move fast enough.

He didn't have your connections.

Is this another lie?

Of course it is...

Like the lie Green's plane was sabotaged.

To keep him quiet about

the ships he'd blown up.

Green was murdered.

Because he was on his way up here.

To report to you about Wilson.

Where did you get these facts?

You've got the same facts.

You've always had them.

You just read them differently.

Green had to run when

he got out of that plane,

And Wilson had to find him and kill him.

I don't believe you.

You're a fool.

You've been running

an empire without laws.

For so long, you've begun to think.

You're king of a mythical empire.

I'm not asking you for anything.

I'm giving you the

only chance you've got.

To save your skin.

Now, you've made Matt Wilson.

A big man in your organization...

A man from whom, you've said yourself,

You had no secrets,

A man you said yesterday

was just like you...

A liar, a cheat, a murderer.

Can you afford that man, Mr. Valayan?

Even if I'm lying to you,

Can you afford Matt Wilson anymore?

How do I know that

you're telling me the truth?

This is Walter Green's affidavit.

Matt told me it didn't exist.

I know.

Did he also tell you

he had a girl killed.

Because he thought she had it?

It's not like Matt.

To bungle a situation twice...

Unless he's desperate.

Where did you get this?

What difference does it make?

It's in Green's own handwriting,

Notarized one week

after the plane crash.

It was to be delivered to you.

In the event of his death.

He's dead.

But I can't do anything.

Matt's the one who does things.

I'll swear that I saw Wilson kill Green.

After he's arrested,

You do nothing... absolutely nothing.

If Wilson's arrested, he'll talk.

Of course he will, but who'll listen?

Who'll take the word of a murderer.

Against Mr. Curt Valayan?

And even if someone does believe him,

What can they really do?

Remember?

You're outside the law.
