Death Wish 4: The Crackdown Page #4

---

or I can walk out of here.

- All I need is a name.

- I don't have a name.

I can be very nasty if I want to be.

So can I.

I'm off duty, Higuera, and I'm missing

my beauty sleep, so what's so important?

A jogger found the body hidden by the trail.

Aww... another piece of sh*t in your gang war?

It's Phil Nozaki.

Phil?

- How?

- Look s like one shot through the chest.

I'm sorry.

So, somehow,

Phil Nozaki figured out who the vigilante is?

- And the vigilante killed him.

- How did he find out?

Phil and I were checking out

suspects from the DMV computers.

When I went through Phil's desk this morning,

I found the list... with one name circled on it.

Paul Kersey?

I did some checking. The guy's wife was killed

by burglars in New York in 1975.

Then, in 1981,

his daughter was raped and murdered in LA.

I think Kersey's our man. I want a warrant.

I don't know. It's very little to go on.

We'd have trouble convincing a judge.

Damn it, Higuera, he killed Phil Nozaki.

I know he did. I want him.

Nozaki is dead.

I lay you ten to one it was the Romeros.

No, no.

- Nozaki said it was somebody else.

- Yeah?

- Who?

- I don't know.

Somebody's playing us off against each other.

Hello? Let me talk to Jack. Please.

- Who is it?

- Ed Zacharias.

Zacharias.

- Yeah, this is Jack.

- Jack, we need to talk.

- Yeah? Why?

- I think we're being set up. We'd better meet.

- All right. Where?

- How about Antonio's?

No, no. You're crazy. You own Antonio's.

It's got to be a neutral territory.

All right, how about the oilfields...

around five o'clock?

We'll be there.

He wants a meeting.

I don't trust him. I think it's a set-up.

We'll be prepared.

You wanted to talk. Talk.

Jack, a lot of things have happened

in the last few days.

- A bunch of my men have been killed.

- Get to the point.

- Someone's playing us against each other.

- What are you talking about?

- Somebody wants us to go after each other.

- For what?

- Don't listen to that trash, Jack!

- I'm talking to Jack!

- It's you! You're trying to screw us over!

- Goddammit, Jack, can't you see?

- That's what he wants.

- You think we're crazy?

- Keep messing with us and we'll bury you!

- Tony!

- Argh!

- Jack! It's a set-up!

Nick!

Nick!

Nick!

Nick!

Nick! Nick!

- Who are you?

- I'm the guy that set you up.

Why?

I don't even know the girl.

I do.

While you were playing hide-and-seek

with Kersey,

Zacharias and the Romeros were playing war.

Come on, does anybody care

if they killed each other?

- They saved the taxpayer some money.

- Kersey's lawyer called the chief.

- He's threatening to sue.

- He's trying to get us to back off.

- I'm telling you, Kersey's our man.

- You took your shot and you blew it.

Now, stay away from Kersey. That's an order.

I've been reading about the job you did.

Congratulations.

Zacharias and the Romeros

won't kill kids with their drugs any more.

Thank God. There's something

I would like to talk about.

Can we meet at the Brentwood Golf Course

about eight?

I'll be there.

- Where's White?

- I'll take you to him.

- He said he'd meet me here.

- He had business to take care of.

Hey!

Hey!

How did you get in? This is private property.

- I want to see Nathan White.

- He is not available.

He is to me.

- Sir, he has a gun.

- What's the meaning of this?

- I wanted to see Nathan White.

- I am Nathan White. Who are you?

- You? You're Nathan White?

- I ought to know my own name.

- Who was the man that was here last week?

- No one. I've been in Europe for three months.

Get out of the car.

- What did I do? Why did you stop me?

- Well, well, well...

- You're under arrest.

- What for?

- Murder.

- Who am I supposed to have killed?

A homicide detective downtown

will explain that to you. Let's go.

Come on, in the car.

In the car! Back!

Hey, if you're taking me downtown,

why are we going west?

Why don't you just shut up?

Don't I know you

from the Sunset Police Station?

Could be.

That's what I thought.

- What the? Shoot the son of a b*tch!

- OK, that's enough! Freeze right there!

Are you f***ing deaf? I said everything's great.

We should have the whole operation sewed up.

Zacharias's dealers are ready to work for us.

Romero boys won't, but we'll push them in line.

We want our first shipment in a couple of days.

I'll talk to you then. Goodbye.

- How did you let Kersey get away?

- We made a mistake.

Mistake? Go on, get out of here! Go on!

Get out of here!

- A**hole!

- Something wrong?

- Yeah. Kersey's still alive. That's what's wrong.

- So what? He doesn't know anything.

- He could put the cops onto us.

- You worry too much.

Look, stupid, your boss is dead and I'm alive

because I'm smarter than he was.

That's why you came to work for me.

- As long as Kersey's breathing he's dangerous.

- What do you want me to do?

We need an edge.

Something to make Kersey come to us.

Karen Sheldon.

This is Jesse.

I've got some information you'll be interested in.

- About that shoot-out at the oilfield last night.

- What about it?

- Who do you think I am? This will cost you.

- It better be worth it. Where should I meet you?

I'm in the parking lot behind your office.

Look for the red Mazda RX-7.

Hello, Kersey.

Put your hands up.

Real high.

Come over here.

Turn around.

You killed a cop, Kersey.

Not just any cop, my partner.

- Now I'm going to kill you.

- Your partner was dirty.

- Bullshit.

- He worked for Ed Zacharias.

You're lying!

- He was going to kill me.

- Why?

He knew I was setting up Zacharias

and the Romeros to kill each other.

- You engineered that whole thing at the oilfield?

- Yes. I'm the vigilante, remember.

When your partner found out,

he told Zacharias, who told him to kill me.

I don't believe one word you're saying.

- Phil Nozaki was a good cop.

- Check his safety deposit box.

- You'll find a lot of cash.

- You're a liar!

Hi. This is Paul.

Leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Hello, Kersey.

A friend of yours wants to say hello.

Paul? They say they won't hurt me

if you do what they say.

Paul, I'm scared. I'm so scared!

Do you want her

to end up dead like Erica?

Yes, I was responsible.

You'd better join us at the Sunset roller rink

- underground garage, Area 16.

- Let me pick it up.

- Don't you move.

- You've got nice taste in women, Kersey.

- Very nice taste.

- The hell with you.

- Hello?

- Put down that phone!

Hello?

- What's he doing?

- Nothing, just sitting.

Flash.

Here he comes.

Take him.

He's not here. It's empty.

- Holy sh*t...

- F*** this mess!

You f***ing black fag!

Jesus Christ!

- Alert everyone. Where's the girl?

- In the power room.

Cover the garage exit. Key. Cover the fire exit.

Be on the alert for Kersey.

Be on the alert for Kersey.

- He jumped us. Cover the garage exit.

- I'm heading there now.

Leave the building immediately.

Do not jam the fire exits.

What the hell is this?

Let me outta here!

We're going out the back.
