Parker Page #5

You know, I've traveled a lot.

My family business pays for everything.

And the only house you showed any

interest in was the one back there.

- Mr. Rodrigo's.

- Really, you think that?

Really.

You know, I looked

into Mr. Rodrigo too.

He's only 6 months old.

Ok, why are you parking

all the way over here?

We could've parked

right in front of the office.

- There will be no cars there at this time of night.

- Let's go.

Unless you don't want

the chance of being seen.

Is that what's going on?

- Wait a minute...

- Keep moving.

Don't turn those on.

English accent...

I knew you weren't from Texas.

Look at that

A nice Chablis.

Will you be joining me?

Ok.

Well, I'm thirsty.

I drink too much,

and I worry too much.

Divorce, pushing 40,

I have a sister I haven't

spoken to in 5 years.

And I'm stuck with my mum.

Doesn't look like she's

gonna kick off any time soon.

I'm sick of chaufering these...

f***ing entitled

wannbe "playboys"

who've never worked a day in their life,

showing them houses

that I can never afford.

Laughing at their

jokes that I can't stand.

All offending

of their groups,

but not all their groups.

You never know, one of

these days I might just get a full commission.

So if you're

gonna kill me, go ahead.

I live with a

snapshot on my future,

and nobody's gonna know,

and nobody's gonna care.

But if you're not...

I can help you.

Help me?

People in Palm Beach

are sharp, very sharp.

People like you only

come here for one reason, money.

And I dunno what you're into,

kidnapping, extorsion, robbery...

but whatever it is, you're

gonna need somebody who knows the territory.

Or you're gonna get caught.

Take off your clothes.

What?

I'm not sure if I'm better

off with you alive or dead,

either way I have to know

if you're wearing a wire.

Look, I've been in a third

of the houses around here,

and I know the rest.

I can answer your questions,

and I can tell you what

questions you're forgetting to ask.

And all I'm asking,

is for you to give me

a small piece,

so I can get the hell out of here.

- Turn around.

- What?

Turn around!

You know, even to find Rodrigo,

you had to think of that roundabout with me.

And all it do is

make me suspicious.

I mean, how many people

do you want asking questions about you?

Lift your hair.

Get dressed.

Wash up the wine glasses.

Lock up before you leave

I'll think about it.

Hey, Lionel.

What you say?

I've got something for you.

Don't blow it all on the ponies again.

Tell me what you got.

I wanna know

every last detail.

Leslie!

Ok, last chance.

All this right here could be

yours for one low price.

Hey.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I bought a lottery ticket 2 days ago,

and I don't think it's going to be hailed.

Leslie, what did you do that for?

It is a waste.

Hello?

Mr. Parmitt?

Yeah, I have the perfect

condo I can show you.

I'll mee you at 1000 Ocean

Avenue in 20 minutes.

Yes!

Right on time.

You can park right there.

So, I'm hired?

You don't have to check me

for a wire again, do you?

I mean, you

can if you want.

We've got work to do,

Leslie.

- You're hard to read.

- Not really.

Let's just stick to business.

This is the deal...

Don't ask me any questions,

because I'm only gonna tell you what I wanna tell you.

The man who calls himself Rodrigo

took something from me.

He's in business

with 3 other men.

They're here for a robbery

and they're gonna use that house to lay low when they're done.

So...

you let them steal something,

and you steal it from them.

I help you,

and I get commission.

- You're gonna kill them, are you?

- I never said that Leslie, you did.

Civilized people

need to follow rules,

I'm just gonna put things right.

Where are they gonna hit?

I thought that was something

you could tell me.

You don't know?

Wha...

- When are they doing it?

- I don't that either,

but it's jewelry.

None of the stores

have checked out the inventory.

How large?

US$ 50m to 750m.

This is

Clinton's Jewels?

You're f***ing kidding me?

Forget it!

They are gonna get caught or killed,

and so are you if

you are anywhere near them.

Leslie.

You can't leave.

Is she your friend?

Miriam Hugh Clinton,

was the first lady of

Palm Beach society.

She had more diamonds

than Elizabeth Taylor,

and when she died,

she left the entire estate to Palm Beach.

They're auctioning off

for US$ 75m jewelry collection right here,

tomorrow night.

What's behind there?

tennis courts, 2 ballrooms...

and it's one of the only houses

that's on the ocean and the inner coast.

Hey, Miss,

this is private property!

Sorry guys,

just taking in the sites.

No, no, no,

that's too much white.

Take them away and

bring back some pink roses.

- And just what is this now?

- Speakers for the auctioneer.

Small ballroom,

round to the right.

Ok, you go to the left side,

Robert to the right.

Report all panel

numbers to,

Barry,

who'll be standing next to me.

- Where do you want these?

- Put the speakers in the corners.

Right,

excuse me for a minute, please?

Go get the gear,

I'll meet you by the basement.

Stash that sh*t by the exit.

Hurry up!

So, have you been in jail?

You don't feel bad

about what you do?

Not everyone steals

these things.

Some people admit it to themselves,

some don't, it's what human beings do,

That's why

we invented locks.

Do you think

people in these houses feel bad?

Grandparents and their

great-grandparents, they the ones who go their hands dirty.

I just mean,

how do you sleep at night.

I don't drink coffee after 7.

- Is this the back entrance?

- Yes?

There's a taxi stand

at The Breakers.

- What's gong on?

- Out. Out!

Wait a minute. What's the plan?

What do I wear? I wear black, what do I do?

Go to your office.

I'll handle this.

This is getting old,

you know!

Welcome back to the hotel,

Mr. Parmitt.

You can handle the car.

Leslie,

someone's at the door.

Leslie,

someone's at the door!

- Jake?

- Leslie.

- Do you mind if I come in?

- Yeah, come in. What time is it?

How the hell did

you get my address?

- It's sort of official.

- Don't let him in!

At least make your

dog shut up!

Can you do that?

Yeah, what's going on?

It's about a man

named Daniel Parmitt.

I don't even know how to

use this thing, that's why I always get coffee.

- What about Mr. Parmitt?

- D'you know him?

Yeah, he's in town from Texas.

I showed him some places,

and he turned out

to be a real time waster.

I happened to be driving passed Sloan's curb

yesterday and I saw you talking to someone.

Yup.

That was him.

I showed him a condo.

You mean you can get together

a list of all the places you showed him?

Sure. I have to get it

from the office, why?

If there's a vacant place he knows about,

he just get it in his head to make some home for a while.

Sh*t.

Can you please get that for me?

Damn dog,

always tracking in

God knows what,

from who knows friggin where.
