The Keeper Page #5

Man, I appreciate that.

I suggest you contact a lawyer.

This might be Texas, but it's not the Wild West.

You can't just shoot people

in the streets and get away with it.

Look, even a civilian,

if he saw a kidnapping in progress...

would have the obligation

to try to do something.

- That's all I did.

- That's for the courts to decide.

And let me tell you this.

They're dead, and you're not.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

There is no case. It was self-defense.

[Man On Phone] Self-defense? He shot

three people. He stabbed a guy in the neck.

We have no witnesses.

John, if you find that he was in the wrong,

he will appear.

I give you my word. That's right.

Thank you, John.

- We don't have time for this. They work for Cross.

- I know.

I seen 'em together.

Tory Harris.

He's one of Cross's lieutenants.

I know.

[Whispering, Indistinct]

Something's come up. I'll be back.

Please, you stay here.

You owe Wells. That's not right.

What about police work?

This guy killed three people in the street.

Now do something about this.

Excuse me. You're free to go.

Goddamn it!

I spoke to Allegra like you asked.

She'll be happy to meet us

at our church tonight.

[Man, Indistinct]

[Man #2]

Yeah, Frank's doing that.

Exactly what are you doing

about finding my daughter?

We can't find her

until we know why she was taken.

- You say there've been no ransom demands.

- None.

Three of the dead kidnappers

were associates ofJason Cross.

Forgive me for being blunt...

but we know you've had business dealings

with Mr. Cross in the past.

For your daughter's sake,

I urge you not to hide anything from us.

[No Audible Dialogue]

You know everything

you need to know, Detective. Find Nikita.

There's one other thing.

Roland Sallinger was released

from custody this afternoon...

with the help, I'm sure,

of a phone call from you.

You really think that was a wise move?

I helped see the chief was appointed.

He knows my word is my bond.

Now leave Roland Sallinger alone.

He's got nothing to do with this.

That's not what Mason Silver says.

So what? He can't be trusted.

If you have no idea who did this or why...

how can you be so sure he's innocent?

'Cause I trust him.

Now please leave.

It's late, and I got other business to attend to.

If the kidnappers contact you,

I want to know immediately.

[Phone Dialing]

[Phone Ringing]

- Hello.

- So are you ready to talk now?

- Where's my daughter?

- She's safe.

Thanks.

Whether she stays that way is up to you.

Look, it's gonna take more time.

There's paperwork that needs to be filed.

Twenty-four hours, Conner!

Not a minute more.

It won't take long after the news is

announced for people to figure this out.

Yeah. Well, you know,

intelligence equals power, Conner.

I know about the uranium now.

You want to see

your sweet little Nikita back...

you can transfer over the land...

and five million in cash and diamonds.

- I want to make sure she's alive.

- [Beeps]

- [Dial Tone]

- Do you hear me, Cross? Hello?

Let's go.

[Car Engine Starting]

- Are you in contact with Roland?

- Yes, sir. Manuelo is with him.

Find him.

- Are we late?

- I don't know where he is.

Just sit tight.

- I'll be right back, okay?

- Okay.

- [Speaking Spanish]

- Uh...

Victor said he wanted certain items along

with five million in 24 hours.

- [Chuckling] Pendejo, no.

- S.

You, uh, have an address on Mason yet?

Yeah, I got an address. And...

I thought you might need these.

You wanna give me this in a church?

You are sacrilegious.

I don't know where else

to give 'em to you.

Look, I'm a little nervous, okay?

[Laughing]

[Spanish]

Okay.

- Come on. Let's go.

- S. S.

You're fine. You know that?

Sit right here on this couch.

Right here.

Let me see now.

- Wanna see this?

- Yeah.

Sh*t.

Sit like that. Stay still now.

This is good sh*t here. Hold on. [Sniffs]

[Woman Moans]

What the f*** are you two looking at?

Play your cards, man.

Come here.

Roland, I did not have a choice.

They asked me to throw the fight.

I said I would not do it.

They...

I let my pride get in the way.

I f***ed up.

Listen. Let me ask you a question.

Did your pride get in the way...

when you set up her getting kidnapped?

Look, man, they said they were gonna kill me.

I don't... l-l...

l-I know you're not gonna believe me, man,

but I love Nikita.

I wouldn't want to hurt her in any way.

They told me they wouldn't harm her.

- It was her or me. You understand?

- Uh-huh.

You're supposed to be

protecting her if you love her.

You understand? Now where is she?

- I don't know.

- You don't know.

You see these two

dead motherfuckers right here?

That's how you gonna look in about five minutes.

You hear me?

All right. I was supposed to meet them

at Hermano's Restaurant.

It's over on the other side of town.

Let me ask you another question.

This is kind of a deep, esoteric question.

Come here, baby.

Sit up here.

- Manuelo.

- S.

- What's wrong with this picture?

- She's in his lap?

Uh-huh.

You know what's wrong with this picture?

Niki's out there

in all kinds of jeopardy right now...

and you're in here f***ing around

with some stanky ho...

tryin' to have a good time.

Now I'm gonna put you

in the same jeopardy she's in.

You understand? Let's go.

[No Audible Dialogue]

[Chattering In Spanish]

- [Phone Ringing]

- See when that property's transferred.

- Yeah, let's do it. Let's telephone the area.

- I have the file right here.

- Hello?

- [Cross] Conner.

Hey, buddy. Time's runnin' out.

- I'm workin' on it.

- Good, good. Are we on schedule?

Yes.

- What?

- I want to speak to my daughter.

Well, she's not available right now.

But don't worry. You'll see her soon.

- When?

- Tomorrow. 8:
00.

When I have those property deeds.

- [Chattering]

- [Beeps]

[Sighs]

Ma'am?

Do you think Nikita's here?

No, I don't. That man Cross is not stupid.

- [Indistinct]

- There's a lot at stake, whatever it is.

- They know the police have been here.

- For sure.

- What are you gonna do?

- When they leave, we will follow.

[No Audible Dialogue]

You sure he's got no guns?

Okay. They've got Mason in the car.

[Sighs]

Thank you very much.

Y'all have a good evening.

- Man, I already did everything y'all asked me to do.

- Get.

- [Engine Starting]

- We got a problem.

- That's him.

- Get down over there right now.

[Grunts]

Roland, I'm shot!

Manuelo, out of the way. You guys, go.

You're okay.

Stay down. Stay down and stay out of it.

[Man On TV] And it looks like another

beautiful day tomorrow in San Antonio.

We're gonna have sunny skies

with highs in the mid 70s.

And the lows are gonna be in the high 50s.

Uh, now, next with sports...

[Roland]

I think we need to talk.

- Roland, how'd you get in here?

- [Sighs]

You know, I did design the security system.

I think you know that.

Of course. So what'd you find out?

Well, I found out that Mason set you up.

But I think you know that.
