Penthouse North Page #4

Synopsis: It's New Year's Eve in New York City and everyone's getting ready to party. Watching, waiting, a man called Hollander has a different kind of party in mind. Alone in her high-rise apartment, Sara has no idea that her boyfriend was a thief. But what he stole - and from whom - is about to put her life on the line. Trapped in the penthouse with Hollander and his sadistic partner, these two will kill, maim, tear the place apart to find a fortune in diamonds. While the party rages outside, inside Sara fights desperately for her life. It's kill or be killed in a pulse-pounding , non-stop fight to the finish - and it all takes place in Penthouse North.

- What are you doing?

- I'm looking for a drink.

See if Ryan has

any decent Scotch.

With ice. Lots of ice.

Alright.

We kept our part of the bargain.

Where are they, Sara?

Ryan never told me.

What?

But I think I know

where they are.

Oh, what, you think?

What is this, huh?

Hey! Which part of "Make me

a drink" don't you understand?

Where?

Terrace.

Terrace.

It was one night

last summer.

I woke up. It was about 2:00

in the morning.

Ryan wasn't in bed, but I heard him

making some noise out here.

When I came out,

I sensed something wasn't right.

He said he couldn't sleep

and I should go back to bed.

But I could still...

I could still hear him.

When he came to bed,

I could smell dirt on his hands,

and I think... I think he was

hiding something in the pots.

There must be

a hundred pots out here.

Could take a long time,

couldn't it, Sara?

POT SMASHES LOUDLY

Is that the idea? Huh?

Kinda... run out the clock?

Maybe somebody's gonna come

save you, something like that?

What'd you think?

That I'd f***ing quit?

You think I'd quit and go home?

Did you really think I'd quit?

- I'm telling you the truth.

- Shh! Shh! Shh!

Move over. Over right here.

Any luck?

Luck?

Find the diamonds?

Not yet.

Here. It's your drink.

Where's my ice?

Your ice has melted.

What about my other ice?

You know, the kind you get

at Tiffany's.

Chad...

I know. You were just

going to tell me.

You wanted to surprise me.

The diamonds?

F*** you!

We both knew this day

was gonna come, Chad.

One of us had to go.

It was always

gonna be you, Chad.

I wish you could

see these, Sara.

They're beautiful.

Argh!

Ohhh!

Tell me. Did you know

the whole time?

I'm not telling you sh*t.

Were you playing me? Huh?

Were you just playing me?

Ugh!

Yeah.

Sara?

You think I can't hear you?

You think I don't know

where you are?

Come on, Hollander, talk.

I know you like to talk.

What? Cat got your tongue?

Argh!

That was a hit, wasn't it?

Alright, Hollander.

Let's play.

Are you watching?

Keep your eye on the diamond.

What do you say?

Should we go for number two?

Hey...

Speak up.

I can't hear you.

Three.

Should I just

let 'em all go?

Urgh!

Don't drop them.

I won't.

Argh!
