The Counselor Page #7

and all the grand plans

will be finally exposed and

revealed for what they are.

And now,

Counselor, I have to go,

because I have to

make other calls.

If I have time,

I think I'll take a small nap.

Welcome to London Heathrow, Terminal 5.

Please keep your bags with you

at all times.

Any unattended luggage will be

removed and may be destroyed.

I like the hat.

Thank you.

The International.

Of course.

Hello, madam.

Hi.

Checking in?

How are you doing?

Okay.

You're Canadian.

You saw my passport.

Where are you from?

New Mexico.

Have a drink with me.

What?

Have a drink with me.

You're a masher.

A masher? Lord,

where did you hear that?

I'm teasing.

I think.

Yes.

Senor's I must close.

I know.

You have no place to go, maybe?

I fell asleep, I'm sorry.

There is no harm.

No harm.

That's a lovely thought.

A magical thought.

Good night.

It's very dangerous out there.

In the street.

I know.

If they hear somebody in the street,

they shoot them.

Then they turn on the light

to see who is dead.

Why do they do that?

To make a joke.

To show that death doesn't care.

That death has no meaning.

Do you believe that?

No.

Of course not.

All my family is dead.

I'm the one who has no meaning.

So, you got the password?

Five digits.

Who's Rowena?

I don't know.

All right.

Social security, driver's license.

Can I ask you something?

Sure.

I don't see what good this will

do unless you have the computer.

You and I are square.

So, are you

planning to see him again?

What would be the point?

He'll be broke.

Smart girl.

Or is it worse than that?

I don't want to get mixed up

in something heavy.

You already are.

How would you know

he won't come looking for you?

But he won't, will he?

No.

He won't.

Jesus.

Take the money.

I don't want it.

Please yourself.

I have to go.

You know what I like

about Americans?

No, what?

You can depend on them.

Thank you, Ray.

Okay. Take care.

F*** you! F*** you!

F*** you!

Drive.

There you go.

Drive.

Momento!

Hey.

God!

Oh, God!

No!

Good evening.

Lovely to see you, madame.

Thank you.

Good evening, sir.

Follow me.

Bon appetit.

It's good to see you.

You, as well.

How's Marisa?

She's fine.

You should come and see us.

I know.

We should talk.

Yes. Of course.

We need to move the money

as soon as possible,

speaking as your banker.

Are you

returning to the States?

No, and I certainly

can't go to Mexico.

I'm thinking Hong Kong.

Really?

You don't speak the language.

I'm a quick study.

Well, I suppose you could simply

buy into the market there.

Yes, it's not a problem.

Cash?

The easiest way to move cash

is in diamonds.

You can hold $20 million

in the palm of your hand.

Well, I suppose there's no problem

selling diamonds in China.

You can sell diamonds on Mars.

You need to get out, Michael.

If anything went wrong,

your name might come up.

That's right.

You're not really leaving me a choice,

are you?

You'll thank me.

And the cats?

Silvia died,

and Raoul is alive and well in Arizona.

I'll miss him.

I miss watching him

out on the high desert

bringing down jackrabbits

at 70 miles an hour.

I never tired of that.

To see quarry,

killed with elegance

it's just moving to me.

Is it sexual?

Yes, of course.

A thing like that is always sexual.

The hunter has grace, beauty,

and purity of heart

to be found nowhere else.

You can make no distinction between

what they are and what they do.

And what they do is kill.

We, of course,

are another matter.

It is our faintness of heart that

has driven us to the edge of ruin.

Perhaps you won't agree

but nothing is

crueler than a coward.

And the slaughter to come

is probably

beyond our imagining.

I think you've told me

more than I wish to know.

Then I'll say no more.

Shall we think about ordering?

I'm famished.
