The Evil That Men Do Page #3

I didn't know what the hell I was to do.

Boy, real big, scary guy, he is.

- You're an American.

- That's right.

It's nice to hear somebody else

speak English now and then, isn't it?

- Would you like to join us?

- Don't mind if I do.

There's a table right over there.

My name's Bart Smith. My wife, Nancy.

Hello, Nancy. I'm Randolph.

What are you all doing in here anyway?

What are you, tourists?

Sort of.

This is not your usual tourist attraction.

We're not your usual tourists.

You know what I mean?

Life just gets dull...

...and nothing like a little variety

to spice things up.

That's right.

Nancy and me, we come from

a small town up in Nebraska.

We always have to go someplace else

for excitement and variety, you know?

Bart, just what kind of excitement

are you looking for?

You know, me and Nancy,

we've been into a lot of things.

We've learned tricks you wouldn't believe.

We've been into things

like wife-swapping... You married?

No, I'm divorced.

But remember, three's company

and four is definitely a crowd.

I am down for anything or anybody.

- Three is all right with me.

- It's definitely all right with me.

- You got a place?

- You bet.

Well, here we are.

Dear, why don't you go in and get

something more comfortable on?

Let's you and me make ourselves at home.

Sounds like a great idea.

Not bad.

First-class pad.

How about a drink

to get this party started?

Holland?

It's okay, just don't come in here.

Oh, my God!

Keep yourself together.

You didn't say you were

going to kill him.

And if I had?

You're depraved.

You've no principles whatsoever.

I didn't know our main concern here

was principles.

- You're a vicious...

- All right, now enough. Stop it!

I think it's time for you

to get Sarah and go home.

Tell Max to get you on the earliest plane.

When you call me at the hotel,

tell me the flight number and the time.

Nothing else.

Jesus Christ.

Doctor!

Randolph's all over the road out there.

Did somebody declare war or what?

Yes.

I'm at Max's. I'm not leaving.

That wasn't our understanding.

Please, don't be angry, Holland.

I can explain.

I'm sorry.

We got as far as the boarding gate,

but I just couldn't go any further.

I need to know he's finished.

Emotional vendettas

are just another form of suicide.

Did Hector ever tell you about George?

What happened to him?

His body was returned three months ago.

His kidneys and spleen were crushed.

His teeth were completely broken.

That's what electric shock does to you.

George never gave up hope

that the Doctor would be stopped.

Not even after he came to you for help.

- You turned him down.

- Well, it's finally out.

If you're blaming me, you're wrong.

Max...

...I'd like to have the shotgun

and shells sometime today.

- It's done.

- And his sister's address in town.

- What are you going to do?

- I'm going to rattle his cage.

And when he sticks his neck out,

I'll nail him.

Yeah, he was here.

He left with a couple of tourists.

- Any idea where they were going?

- No. None.

Tell him, if he keeps doing what he was

doing, someday he'll get into trouble.

He already did.

- Will you be long?

- I hope not.

As soon as I'm dropped

at the apartment,

I'll have the car come

straight back for you.

I don't know who killed Randolph and Karl.

Neither does Colonel Aristos.

They want me out of the country,

Briggs, and so do you.

Don't deny it.

They think that by killing my people

they can scare me away.

I don't know a goddamn thing about this.

Do your duty as one of America's

snarling watchdogs and find out.

- But the local police...

- I don't trust them.

Nor do I trust Colonel Aristos,

and I only just barely trust you.

Unfortunately,

I have no one else to turn to.

- I'll get on it.

- Yes, you do that.

- Do you want to shower first?

- No, thank you.

- Cillero?

- Get dressed.

Max, didn't you say

you had a country place?

Yes, at Lake Amatitln. South of the city.

- Do you have a map?

- Sure, come with me.

Here, that's the village of Magdalena.

Right here is my place.

What's this over here?

That's an abandoned mine.

That's perfect.

There's no way that Sarah can stay here.

Send her home as soon as possible.

You ought to go into hiding. By now,

they'll have connected you with me.

All right.

Max Ortiz.

He's a local.

- It's your department, Victor.

- I'll have him picked up.

Someone comes out of nowhere,

turns Randolph into a meat pie...

...then does Cillero.

Your sister vanishes without a trace.

Jesus, what the hell does it mean?

Damn it, Briggs!

Stop playing guessing games.

Karl, Cillero and Randolph deserved

what they got for being so stupid.

All I care about is my sister.

- Now get outside help.

- My people can handle it.

Get outside help, Briggs!

Holland?

I've been wondering about something.

How does someone like my husband

come to know someone like you?

In your profession?

Your husband had a big curiosity.

We knew each other for years.

There you go again,

not telling me anything.

I'd like to know.

So would the Doctor,

if he got his hands on you.

How much are you being paid for this?

I'm not getting paid anything.

I used to chase money,

but where I live now I have no use for it.

Where do you live?

I live in a very peaceful place.

I can watch a sunset every evening.

Read by natural light until 10:00.

In the morning,

I can shower with rainwater.

It's magic.

Seems so strange to me.

What does?

Someone like you, who kills people,

talking about peace and magic.

I guess they're away safely.

He has a summer place

out at Lake Amatitln.

They've got my sister there.

- Get word to Paul Briggs, right away.

- Yes, sir.

Hello?

I have somebody here

that belongs to you, Molloch.

How is she?

- Have you hurt her?

- Ask her.

Hello? Hello?

Clement, it's me.

- Are you all right, Claire?

- Clement, I'm sorry. It was my fault.

I'm so sorry.

What do they want?

That will be enough.

After all, I'm paying for this call.

If it's me you're after, you should have

the courage to come and get me.

Don't flatter yourself, Molloch.

I'm after money. Cold, hard cash.

How much?

Let's say about half a million dollars.

Large and small bills.

What makes you think

I have that kind of money?

If you don't have it,

you better find a way of getting it...

...or you won't see your

sister alive again.

Say goodbye to your brother.

Clement!

Please, help me.

Help me, please. Please, help me.

What do you say, Molloch?

I'll need time. A few more hours.

He knows we're here.

How could you tell?

He didn't ask.

We've got visitors.

You drive. I'll need my hands free.

Go towards them. Towards them.

Phone Briggs!

Stop!

Oh, Jesus.

Tell that guy we don't mean any trouble,

and we'll pay for the damages.

Tell him, we'd like to buy his truck.

How much?

Tell him that if anyone comes around

asking questions...

...he doesn't know anything.

Let's find a place to bury the woman.
