Game of Death Page #2

---

Don't lose them.

Alegandre, from now on,

I want you to coordinate

all your efforts with

the ad agency in New York.

And by the way, what are

the odds where you are now?

Well, then keep

the publicity going

about Carl's rumored

sprained ligament.

Don't give the impression

that the fight's

going to be canceled,

just that he's in pain

and might be

at a disadvantage.

You got that?

Ciao.

The odds are a little

too heavy on Carl,

especially in London.

Yes, a good idea

to even that up a bit.

Oh, by the way,

what about Billy Lo?

He was told to

call earlier today.

He has

the number to call.

Oh, do we know where

he is at this moment?

Well, we always know

where he is.

Well, then

a final warning,

Ok, Carl?

Yes, Pasqual.

You go with him.

Pasqual loves to fight, yes.

Ha ha.

Let me use your brush.

Thanks.

Billy, good to see you.

Hi, John. I'm glad you're back.

Your uncle

is in his room.

Billy. Come in, Billy.

Come in. Hey. Hey!

You go ahead.

It's good to see you, boy.

Sit down. Sit down.

We do not see you much

since you got to be

a big man.

Oh, yes, I know.

I've been running

for months.

Yeah, very busy, huh?

I heard that the syndicate

is after you.

You must be a big man.

How did you know that?

It's a small business.

I can't join them,

and I can't

be forced to join.

You have just

described a problem

as old as man.

You're not unique.

There is a solution

I do not think

you've considered.

When you get to the top,

you understand

how far it is to fall,

but if you think

very little of yourself,

then you can be pushed off.

and fall very easily.

What is your opinion

ofyourself?

I believe I deserve

to be where I am.

I've worked

hard for it.

Then don't let them push.

They will never

let you rest.

You push.

You mean kill?

Integrity can be

an expensive thing.

What is the price

ofyour integrity?

What are you

willing to pay?

There is another

person as well,

a girl.

If I fight,

she may be hurt.

Send her away.

Do you need help?

I know some men

who can help you.

No.

You're not allowed

back here.

Get out! Get out!

Another message, Billy.

The Chinese syndicate

wants to make sure

they're riding

with a winner,

so they're willing to

buy a little insurance.

A million and a half

dollars in cash

will be arriving

in Macau

just before the fight.

They're going to drop it

right on your doorstep.

Clean money?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, very crisp

and very clean.

The cash started out

in Nassau.

It's going through

Tommy's bank in Mexico City

right now.

We're watching

its progress.

Fine. Fine.

Oh, Carl.

Yes, sir.

What about Billy Lo?

What's happened there?

Nothing. Not a word.

He's not going to call.

Rebellion is contagious,

Doctor.

Let's close the book.

What an

unfortunate waste,

casting aside

his life like that.

What a pity.

Hello.

Hello, Ann. It's me.

Billy, where have you been?

I've been trying

to reach you all day.

I've been worried

about you.

I've been worried

about you, too,

darling.

Ann, listen

carefully.

I want you

to meet me

on the 6:
00 ferry.

You'll find me

in the passenger

section.

Do you understand?

Ok. Billy,

are you all right?

Yes. To tell

the truth,

I feel

much better now.

Billy.

Billy, you've

been hurt.

It doesn't matter.

Ann, I want you

to go back to

the States for a while.

Leave you here?

I have to work

this problem out by myself.

It would only

be for a while,

a couple of months.

No way, Billy.

I can't do that.

Look, you can't help me,

but if you stay,

I can hurt you.

Maybe you

should change your name

and disappear for a while.

I have only one scene

left in this film.

I'll be dropping

out of sight myself.

Billy, I can't

leave you.

What are you up to?

Not a thing.

We have to separate.

Ann, I'd like to live

with you a long time,

you know?

Grow old together.

It was very strange.

Not like him,

very secretive.

It sounds like he's

made a decision to run,

which would be smart.

No, I don't think

he's running at all.

I think it's

just the opposite.

There was

a determination

about him, like he

was going to fight.

Jim, I know

he has a call

at the studio

this afternoon.

Would you mind

meeting me there?

I'm really worried

about him.

Of course.

I'll be right over.

Stage 4.

Yeah. I got you.

David.

Yeah.

Keep it together.

Cut.

Print it.

Ok, turn around, guys.

Let's set up

for Billy's run.

Ok, move it along.

Get ready

for the reverse angle.

Let's go, fellas.

Gentlemen,

these are blanks.

Only aim upward.

There's a wad of paper

that comes out

and can injure someone.

We're ready for you, Billy.

Ok.

Now, I want you

to come running out

ofthe building like hell.

I'll cue the guns

on your leap,

and you do the fall, ok?

Ok, let's

walkthrough it once.

Billy, over here.

What are you doing here?

Take her

to the airport, Jim.

Billy, something

isn't reading right.

Do you need help?

I'm going

to break it wide open.

The police

have got to get into it.

And when it explodes,

I don't want Ann here.

Get her on a plane.

Billy...

Please, Jim.

Here we go.

Everybody settle down. Ready.

Ok, ready to roll.

Ok. This is a take.

Qiet, please.

Ok, roll sound.

Action!

Waah...

Hey, Billy, what's the matter?

Hey, what's happening here?

What happened?

What's wrong?

My, God! He's hurt.

Somebody call a doctor!

Don't just stand there!

The bullet fragmented

as it passed through

at an upward angle,

literally smashing

the bone structure

of the face.

What are his chances

of having

a normal appearance?

There'll be

extensive

structural changes,

a great deal

of scar tissue.

He'll be permanently

altered, of course,

but presentable,

in any case.

Hmm.

Thankyou, Doctor.

Hey, Billy,

are you awake?

Yes.

I've been talking

with your surgeon.

The surgery

will be tomorrow.

This is

a very private hospital.

No one will know.

Good.

Then you still want

to go through

with this?

Yes.

The only reason I've

considered this,

Mr. Lo, is

the simple argument:

Should you walk

upon the street,

undoubtedly

there will be

another attempt

upon your life.

Then you agree?

There'll have

to be a complete

falsification

of documents,

death certificate,

and somebody

will have

to inform the press

you've taken a turn

for the worse...

Relapse. Then

there's the question

of a change

of identity.

A new identification

has already

been taken care of.

We should tell Ann.

No.

No one else must know.

If she knows,

she could be in danger.

A public funeral?

Open casket?

After all,

he is a celebrity.

Don't worry,John.

It'll be a very

believable funeral.

They have some

interesting people here.

It could be a story.

Miss Morris.

You're dead.

Come on, Ann.

Do you hear me?

You're dead.

Cool it.

Excuse us. Thank you.

Let us through. Easy.

Thankyou.

No, Ann.

For $10, he could

have you killed.

Yes, I understand.

It's cheap.

I'm glad

you understand,
