All I did...

was cream twice each night for a week

with Pond's cold cream.

You're a pathetic sight, Walker,

from where I'm standing.

Chasing shadows.

You're played out. It's over.

It's finished.

What would you do with the money

if you got it?

Wasn't yours in the first place.

Why don't you just lie down and die?

- Going to work?

- Another day, another dollar.

- Welcome back, boss.

- Bill.

- What do you want?

- My money.

What for?

- For Stegman.

- Stegman's nothing. Who killed Carter?

Bill, the briefcase.

I did.

You did, huh? What happened?

Carter set it up.

He was where Walker should've been.

- You don't care, do you?

- No, I love it.

That leaves you in a spot.

You killed the man

who was going to pay you.

- Who pays me?

- I can't hear you.

- What about Walker?

- What?

Walker's still around.

The Organization will take care of Walker.

It'll never happen. He's a pro.

Walker's beautiful.

He's just tearing you apart.

- You coming with me?

- Pass.

I'll wait for Fairfax. He'll pay me.

All right. And if he doesn't,

you can kill him, too.

Hey.

What's my last name?

What's my first name?

Look at that hillside.

Nobody did any watering or anything.

You tell people to do things around here,

and it doesn't make any difference.

Just a minute.

It's ice-cold, Bill.

Walker?

You're a very bad man.

A very destructive man!

Why do you run around doing things

like this? What do you want?

I want my money.

I want my $93,000.

$93,000?

You threaten a financial structure like this

for $93,000?

I don't believe you.

What do you really want?

I really want my money.

I want my money.

I'm not gonna give you any money,

and nobody else is, don't you understand?

Who runs things?

Carter and I run things. I run things.

What about Fairfax? Will he pay me?

Fairfax is a man who signs checks.

No, cash.

Fairfax isn't going to give you anything.

He's finished.

Fairfax is dead,

he just doesn't know it yet.

Somebody's got to pay.

- Make a phone call.

- It's a waste of time!

All right.

I'm just getting a cigar out of here,

that's all.

Cash.

You think I can go

to some hole in the wall...

take out $93,000, and peel it off for you?

- Operator.

- Yeah, Brewster, Los Angeles.

Get me Mr. Fairfax, will you?

Let me tell you something

about corporations.

This is a corporation,

and I'm an officer in it.

We deal in millions, we never see cash.

I got about $11 in my pocket.

- How are you?

- Yeah, I just got in.

How's the weather up there?

It's all right.

Dried up the lawn a little bit. Listen...

I got a man named Walker with me.

He says we owe him $93,000.

Are you going to say anything?

What do you want me to say?

He says he's going to shoot me

unless I give him $93,000.

Brewster, you know me better than that.

Want to say a word?

How much is Brewster

worth to you, Fairfax?

Threatening phone calls don't impress me.

Fairfax, I think he's getting ready

to fire the gun.

- Yes or no?

- Of course not.

- What's happened?

- Nothing. Where'd you come from?

- I'm with him.

- You're...

Walker, it occurred to me that...

we might still be able

to do something for you.

I mean, get you the money you want.

But not here in Los Angeles.

There's still one setup where

large sums of money change hands.

It's up in San Francisco.

The Alcatraz run.

You remember it, with Reese.

It' s still there. Once a week. Every week.

Alcatraz.

The drop's changed,

but the run is still the same.

If you wanna go up to San Francisco...

Her, too, if you want her.

Anything you want.

You can trust me, Walker.

There's supposed to be a light

on that landing where you are!

I don't know exactly where it is,

but it's up there.

Is that it?

All right, good.

Just stay in the light.

- What do you mean?

- Nothing is going to happen, is it?

No, nothing's gonna happen,

except what I said was gonna happen.

We're gonna make the exchange

and you're gonna get your money.

The whole thing's just a routine.

What are you looking for?

There's nobody else here.

Walker?

There it is.

It's coming in.

Safe as a church. Your money.

What about your friend, Fairfax?

Fairfax is dead. Or he will be tomorrow.

It is tomorrow.

- Will you help me carry the box up?

- No.

Here's your money.

Why did you do that?

Walker didn't shoot you.

Fairfax?

This is Fairfax, Walker!

Kill him!

You should've stayed an accountant.

Our deal is done, Walker!

Brewster was the last one!

He thought he could take over from me.

Come on in with me.

I've been looking years

for someone like you.

Come and get your money then!

Come on and get it!

I pay my debts!

Well?

This is the last time!

How do you like that?

I like it.

Leave it.
