Penthouse North Page #3

what? What do you want?

Why won't you

leave me alone?

Where'd Ryan say

he got this diamond?

He was buying diamonds.

He said they were investments.

Investments, my ass.

- Where are the others?

- The others?

Yeah, I want my other 29

clear perfect diamonds.

$20 million worth

stolen in Miami.

- Are you saying Ryan stole 'em?

- Yeah, that's right.

And then he doublecrossed us.

Where are my diamonds?

I can't help. Argh!

Can't or won't? Which is it, Sara -

can't or won't?

No! Not yet!

We need her.

Hey, Shadow.

Look here,

who came to visit. Hiya.

You hear that?

You hear that purring

like a little racing motor?

Please... put her down.

Huh? Oh, it's OK.

I'm a cat lover.

I love cats,

and cats love me.

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

I'm just over here,

at the edge of the terrace,

just once again...

admiring this amazing view.

What are we,

14, 15 storeys up?

Careful, careful, careful.

Careful, careful.

Ooh, that was close.

Please.

Please what?

Whatever you're thinking.

What am I thinking?

It's an innocent animal.

Sara, are you trying

to put some ideas in my head?

Do you actually think

I'm capable...

- No! I just...

- I told you, I'm a cat lover.

I love cats. -I know.

Oh, great.

You're upsetting Shadow.

- For God's sake...

- Shadow's upset now.

Where are they?

The diamonds?

- I don't know.

- Yeah, you do.

- Please don't.

- Tell me where they are.

- I don't know.

- Sara...

Just tell me

where the diamonds are.

I don't know.

OK.

Wrong answer.

Sh*t.

I wonder

if she landed on her feet.

Ugh!

That was f***ed up.

- What'd you say?

- That was f***ed up.

What did that cat

ever do to you?

Gee, Chad,

when did you join PETA?

I'm just saying.

Yeah, you know...

Ryan may have been

a disloyal dog,

but at least he knew

when to keep his mouth shut.

- Yeah, well, Ryan's dead.

- You challenging me, Chad?

I'm just saying,

you want answers,

you don't go

throwing cats around.

You know,

maybe when you killed Ryan,

something happened

to your brain.

I don't know. Why don't you

go wait downstairs?

What? Leave you up here alone

to find the diamonds?

Why? Do you think

I'd sell you out?

I don't know. Would you?

Gee. I mean, Chad,

if you don't trust me...

You looking for this?

Chad, I'm deeply hurt

that you don't trust me.

I trust you.

- What?

- I trust you.

Yeah, but you're just saying

you trust me.

- Do you really trust me, Chad?

- I really trust you.

Phew!

For a second there,

I thought maybe

you didn't trust me.

Here's your knife.

This is Tim

in Traffic Watch 1.

I've got somebody

on the roof down there.

See me, please.

Please see me.

I'm gonna give you

one last chance.

Ugh!

Wave.

Wave!

Yeah, just two people

who decided to

start the party a little early.

OK? Huh?

Good. 'Cause we're gonna play

a game called follow the cat.

It's a long way

down there, Sara.

Ryan has a safe.

Show me.

Hey, honey.

Um... you're not thinking of

going to Sara's like that, are you?

I'm not going at all.

I thought we agreed.

You said we'd see how I feel.

Well, I feel like not going.

Danny, it's 10 blocks.

Listen.

Your pregnant wife

and your unborn son

are gonna go

and visit her sister.

You can come

or you can stay here

and drink your beer

and scratch your balls.

Drink this.

Why doesn't he just kill me?

Maybe I stopped him.

You're terrified of him.

You're his lapdog.

Like hell I am.

You don't get it, do you?

You have no idea

what he's gonna do to you.

- To me?

- Do the math.

$20 million divided by two?

Why would Hollander

cut you in

when he could take it all

for himself?

Oh...

You're way ahead of me,

aren't you?

I knew you were smart.

You're gonna kill him first,

aren't you?

Drink.

Help me, Chad,

and I will help you.

Really?

And then what will you do?

Whatever you want.

Kill him.

We gotta talk. Come on.

That Ryan.

Got some sense

of humour.

For a dead guy, I mean.

Diamonds weren't in the safe,

I'm guessing.

Yeah. I have a feeling

you knew that.

Which means...

...you're my only living link

to those rocks, Sara.

Where's Chad?

Did you kill him already?

I put him outside.

Give us a chance to... be alone.

He's working up the nerve

to kill you, you know.

Yeah, he's thinking about it.

You maybe even helped him...

little bit.

You know what, Sara?

Behind that...

...very pretty face

and those soft green eyes,

you're not all that innocent.

Are you?

Let's you and I make a deal.

I tell you where the diamonds are

and you let me live.

And as a kicker...

...I let you keep this.

If you're anything like me,

cash it in.

I'm nothing like you.

You kill people.

Yeah. I mean...

The world's a slaughterhouse

full of pigs

who are just too stupid to see

when the axe comes down.

Take the offer.

You're making

a really big mistake, Sara.

You know, I can hear

something in your voice

that wasn't there before.

Really? What's that?

Desperation.

Comfortable? Good.

Hold her shoulders down.

Please don't... Ah!

Please!

You know how this works?

Thirsty?

You're not strong enough

for this, Sara. Nobody is.

Why don't you just tell me

what I need to know?

Go to hell!

Where are they?

The diamonds?

Where are my (Xv-Amends?

Hey, it's us.

A very pregnant lady

is downstairs.

We're right outside

the building.

- That's my sister.

- Put some clothes on.

- We're coming up!

- Oh, please.

Let me call her back.

I can stop them.

- You OK?

- Mm-hm.

I don't trust her.

You know what that is?

I won't even blink

before I kill them.

- Their lives

for the diamonds, Sara. -Yes.

Hon? You alright?

You want that baby

to be born, Sara?

Hello?

OK. Hold on.

Hey, Sara.

Sorry. It's not a good time

to come here right now.

- Why not?

- I should have called.

What's going on?

We're in the middle

of a fight.

- A fight?

- He didn't hit you, did he?

- No.

- If he laid...

- No, Danny. He didn't lay...

- Where is he?

...a hand on me, OK?

We just need to be alone

so we can work it out.

OK?

Well, you don't

expect us to leave.

It's almost midnight.

We want to

be here with you.

Blake, please...

Sara.

What's going on?

We're just fighting.

Wh... Where's Ryan?

Ryan, we need to talk, man!

Right now, Ryan!

I need to see your face.

No, listen. This is...

This is just between us. OK?

We're here, we're in it,

and we're not leaving.

Please. Just leave.

No. Sara, look,

we're not gonna...

Honey? Are you OK?

- No. Oh, no.

- Blake?

- Blake?

- Oh, sh*t. I think...

on, sh*t.

Sara, let us in and call 911.

- No!

- She must lie down. Let us in.

- I can't.

- For Godsakes, Sara...

- I can't, Danny!

- Stop! No, OK, Danny, stop.

- Honey, you need to lie down.

- No, I...

Oh. Oh, sh*t. What I need to do

is get to the hospital.

OK? I'm not having this baby

right here.

OK, we'll get a cab.

- I'll be there soon.

- Yes, just...

- University Hospital.

- OK.

I'll see you soon.

Looks like

you're gonna be an aunt.
