The Perfect Host Page #5

Synopsis: Injured after committing a bank robbery, John Taylor is desperate to find a place to hide out and approaches the home of Warick Wilson. John manages to get himself invited into the house by posing as a friend of a friend and spinning a sob story of lost luggage and a violent mugging. Inside, Warick, a consummate host, is making the final preparations for an impeccable dinner party.

Or left the country.

Could be.

Do not feel bad about it,

Taylor is worse out there.

And it is to be held on trial

Simone De Marchi, right?

You did a good job there.

- Never met him before, right?

- A Taylor?

No.

Never?

Of course not,

Why?

I thought maybe I would have

crusader, he has previous convictions,

maybe you met him at the station.

And I never met him socially,

Right?

He is not exactly

My circle detective.

So ...

This may be shocking.

My God.

It's disturbing, right?

I think technology

is getting out of control.

- What?

- If someone like Taylor ...

can do something as professional

like this ...

Wait. Are you suggesting

Taylor produced this?

Sure.

It is a Polaroid. An exhibition

positive, not an invention in Photoshop.

It must be, what other explanation

would?

Besides the obvious?

Ben, I know for how much,

- Six.

- Six years.

Do you really think that I associate

with this man?

I can not ignore.

Sorry, Warwick, I send

to analyze that.

Good. I wonder also

how they did it.

- The other thing is ...

- Yes.

One witness testified that Taylor

tried to enter his house after the robbery.

He said he saw him again in the

morning, outside the house of his neighbor.

It's your house.

Is the lady who lives next to me?

Yes.

Morton, you know how many times called

woman to the station?

the woman is insane.

Yes. I know it.

That's why we never took

seriously. Until now.

It seems taken at home.

It is a white sofa.

Why you? If false, why

put you in the picture?

He mocks us.

Where did your picture?

Newspapers, Christmas party

last year.

You are who showed me his record

and resources do you?

Tomorrow will probably be a

Polaroid of you and him,

sitting together in a

f***ing bathtub.

Yes.

Except ...

Except that, Ben.

Would be failing in the rules

if you do not investigate this.

And you should.

You're a good detective.

Now excuse me.

I need to look

your home.

All right.

Okay, fine.

You know,

Ben, I appreciate your responsibility,

must have been hard to come talk to me,

but what actually sent

a group of police to my house?

- Ignoring it is not the solution.

- I agree.

So.

What you have in mind?

How about dinner?

When?

Come tonight. Now I have friends

to come, I cook.

It will be fun. You

comb the entire place.

Now I have something in mind something

official.

I'm being polite, Ben.

I have not to be.

I would like to maintain our friendship.

Agreed.

- Dinner sounds good.

- Very good.

- At 8 o'clock?

- Sure.

Oh and Ben,

Do you drink red wine or white?

Oh, red.

Fantastic.
