Shoot to Kill Page #6

Synopsis: Sidney Poitier returned to the big screen in this action-thriller, after a decade-long absence. When a cunning murderer vanishes into the rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest, pursuing FBI agent Warren Stantin (Poitier) must exchange familiar city streets for unknown wilderness trails. Completely out of his element, Stantin is forced to enlist the aid of expert tracker Jonathan Knox (PLATOON'S Tom Berenger). The killer has infiltrated a guided hiking trip led by Knox's girlfriend Sarah (Kirstie Alley, at the height of her Cheers fame). Viewers don't know which of the hikers is the killer, and the tension lasts well into the movie.

Exactly what happened in your kitchen?

Inspector, could you check to see if

there were any long-distance phone calls

made from this number?

I don't think they were teenagers.

What teenagers are going to drink

just milk and Cokes...

when there's also beer

in the refrigerator?

On that side, the table and the utensils

have been wiped clean.

Over here, prints everywhere.

Why?

The suspect brought Sarah here.

Rope fibres.

He tied her to the leg ofthis table,

sat over there where you are...

and ate.

There was a call.

Vancouver number. 926-0484.

Bingo.

Mr Stantin.

Superintendent Hsu.

I hope my men have taken care ofyou.

They've been wonderful.

I'd just about forgotten

how good a hot shower feels.

- Hey, how you doin', man?

- Good.

- This is MrJonathan Knox.

- Mr Knox.

- Thanks for the clothes.

- Promise you'll burn these.

- You bet.

Wejust finished interrogating the man

the phone call was placed to.

His name is Fournier. He lives

out in the British properties.

Very expensive neighbourhood.

He's a diamond broker.

- How you been?

- You're saying he's a fence.

- What's up?

We've never been able to prove anything.

He claims the call was a wrong number.

Phone company said the call

lasted 1 9 minutes.

Yeah, we know he's lying.

Here's Fournier now.

Superintendent, I'm so concerned

about that poor girl being held hostage.

I'm very sorry I can't help you,

but I would like to know

how everything turns out.

Isn't that a fine man?

He and I havejust been to see

your boss, lnspector Hsu,

and I think we made our point...

which is that ifyou ever bring

my client down here on this kind

ofchickenshit questioning again...

I'll sue the whole f***ing department.

Understand? Make sense to you?

Uphold the law and all that?

- Why the hell are you letting him walk?

- We have nothing on him.

No grounds for charges.

- We'll keep him under surveillance.

- I'm sure your men

will come up with something.

We appreciate everything, lnspector.

- You'rejust gonna let him

offthe hook, aren't you?

- Look, the police are doing

everything they can.

- Oh, Stantin!

- Look, mister.

You may be some hot-sh*t guy

back on your turf, but you're in

my territory now...

so sit back and enjoy the ride.

What-- Hey! Hey, hey!

Hey! What the-- Get your hands

offof me! What is this?

- Shut up!

-Jesus.

- Do you know who I am?

- Shut up!

- I could pick up the phone

and have you killed. Fuckyou!

- Did you hear that?

He could have us killed.

What is it, money you want?

Huh? You want money?

I'll open the safe,

I'll give you all the money you want.

Good, good.

- Set?

- Set. Two minutes.

What's that noise?

What's happening? Huh?

What's happening?

Talk to me, goddam it! Talk to me!

Let's rip some ofthe stuffing

out ofthe couches.

Oh,Jesus, what, are you

gonna burn down my house?

Look, we can make a deal, huh?

Can't we make a deal, for Christ's sake?

You're already dead.

Dead men don't make deals.

- What did he do, anyway?

- He stole two pounds ofdiamonds

from the wrong people.

- No. No. I didn't steal them.

- Okay, we'll torch these, and the

whole city'll come down on top of him.

I didn't steal them!

I don't have them!

Look, all I was doing

was brokering them. I-l don't

even know where they came from!

- They could trace that tape.

- Nah. It'll burn right along with him

and the rest of his--

You can get the diamonds back.

The guy who stole them

is meeting me tomorrow.

Robson Square, noon,

at the skating rink.

- Okay, okay, 30 seconds. Let's go!

- Okay.

He's the one you want! Not me!

You can have the diamonds back!

Just turn offthe timer!
