The Walker Page #3

What's the point?

What was the relationship

between the deceased and

Senator Lockner's wife?

Were acquaintances.

In fact the last time

I saw Robbie I was with Lynn

at the opera benefit.

That was the extent of their

relationship?

To my knowledge.

Have you asked Lynn?

What if we found

evidence of Lynn's presence

at Kononsberg's condo?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Robbie did a lot of

entertaining.

You had a business

relationship?

He advised me to

purchase AltiMed stock.

I made money for a while.

And then I lost money.

A lot.

Considerable.

Because of Robbie.

I have only myself to blame.

If you're holding anything back

about Kononsberg or Lynn

Lockner's relationship...

If you are going to press charges, do so.

Otherwise we're leaving.

Carter.

Every year your father would

come to Cumberland to speak at a

civics or an American history class.

He was an inspiration.

A great American.

Like his father before him.

It was because of him,

I decided to enter public service.

When I heard him

at the Watergate hearings

I was proud to say I was a Virginian.

What are you?

What have you contributed to

your father's memory?

Is there a name for

what you are?

I believe...

He's called the walker, Sir.

He walks rich women from

place to place.

Carl, is there any

you're not telling me?

Tell me now.

I can't be responsible later.

And don't f*** with offense.

After 9-11 they took

the leash off.

They do whatever they want.

Do you want something?

No.

It'll all work out.

Don't be naive.

I'm not naive.

I'm superficial.

Mungo Tenant

knows the right questions.

Somebody's leaking information

about Lynn's connection to Robbie.

How did you

get involved in this?

You'll listen to real music.

This is real music.

Lynn finds a body,

all hell breaks loose.

I find a body? Awkward.

But I didn't think

it was such a big deal.

But now it is.

This is a mean crowd,

this administration.

I ain't never seen anything like it.

It's a cultural revenge.

They want to revenge you?

Why? For your father?

No. That's just coincidence.

Lynn almost got pulled in.

Instead it's me.

Robbie's death has been

exploited for political reasons.

Oh, can I...?

Can I mention

this to my editor?

Can you put down that

crack pipe?

Just kidding.

Just don't know how

much longer I can stand

to shoot photo ops.

Scarlet. Look this way.

Is this an...?

Is it a new suit?

This whole thing.

Do you like it?

Looks a little bit like a...

Medieval suit of armor.

Thank you.

Welcome.

I've got to figure out

who tipped Tenant.

D.C. and Salt Lake.

These are the last two cities

where homosexuality is a

ground for extortion.

Lots of hypocrites.

Good American family men.

You can squeeze them.

That's crazy.

You do that for me?

Yeah.

Why?

L.O.V.E.

Love.

It's normal.

My first spelling lesson.

No, thanks.

Oh, I think I'll sit this one out.

Chrissie, it's your turn.

Ma'am?

I'm thinking

about going on a diet.

It's been proven.

Thinking about it doesn't work.

To dear departed friends.

Here.

All right, girls.

Theories?

I have one word Altimed.

Kononsberg plumped for

them all over town, both

sides of the aisle.

Everybody took donations.

Even Larry.

No. He's investigating.

The whole thing collapses.

Biggest scandal

since Teapot Dome.

And nobody cares.

It's a lack of moral values.

No. It's a wrack.

A wrack turns everything.

No water, please.

Wasn't Robbie supposed to testify

in front of Larry's committee?

I don't think so.

I think he was just a messenger.

Thug villain.

- Yeah.

Chercher la femme.

Abby thinks there

was a woman involved.

Isn't there always?

It could be just a robbery.

No.

Well, how about you, Carl?

It's uncharacteristic of you to be

so reticent about a subject

so sensational.

Well, a friend is murdered

and I'm told not to comment

because perhaps...

Perhaps I am a suspect.

Well, who thinks that?

Mungo Tenant.

How could anyone suspect you?

They go with what they have.

And I'm what they have.

Tenant's an absolute botcher.

He's ambitious.

He wants to be a star.

I heard that Robbie

was in trouble.

Define.

Overextended, as in...

His financial means couldn't

accommodate his lifestyle.

Where did you hear this?

Where do you ever hear

such things?

Robbie would never

let himself get into such

a situation.

Not where

he'd die of the money.

It's always about money.

People say it's sex.

But it's money.

That's very

simplistic of you, Natalie.

Speaking of money...

Did you know that Josh Milford wrote a

campaign song for the presidential race,

Al Smith vs. Herbert Hoover, 1928.

You've seen

good days with Hoover.

Better days are on the way.

Money will fall from blue skies.

Prosperity's here to stay.

Oh, darling.

So say goodbye to Herbert.

And say hello to Al.

Say goodbye to Herbert.

And say hello to Al.

Hello, Al.

A year later

the market crashed.

I remember.

But you were just a young slip

of a girl then, not the beautiful

woman you are now.

Cut the sh*t.

Oh, cut the cards.

Thank you, Sir.

Ma'am.

Tenant called you?

Yeah.

What did you say?

Last time I saw Robbie

was at the National with you.

There is an informant.

Somebody is telling Tenant

that you were having an

affair with Robbie.

What did you tell Larry?

Same thing I told Tenant.

We were acquaintances.

End of story.

What would he do if you were

connected to the murder?

He'd resign.

How did I get in this?

Is that what you're

thinking about?

Never.

I was thinking about you.

Tenant is a baby sleaze

who wants to be a big sleaze.

Nail a star, become a star.

It's how these

justice boys think.

A liberal star.

Two liberal stars. Even better.

I don't just

play cards, you know.

Sorry.

How come

you're always so polite?

It was my

mother's answer to chaos.

Now it's mine.

We had a fight.

Robbie and me.

An argument.

Somebody could have

heard something.

He had a lot of anger in him.

He said people have been

treating him like sh*t too long.

He wasn't gonna take it.

Why didn't you

tell me this before?

I didn't think it was important.

I'm telling you now.

And you saw

him again after this?

I have been such a fool.

You do care for me,

don't you?

Yes.

I always have.

There's something

I've always wanted to ask you.

What?

How do you survive

all those long political dinners?

Oh, I think about

redecorating the room.

That, dear, is the most practical

thing you've ever said.

Kononsberg was

near busted on AltiMed.

Then two weeks later he

opened two offshore accounts.

So he had money.

Two hundred thousand dollars

were deposited in these accounts.

Well, if you could have found

this out then the U.S. Attorney

could have also.

I would imagine so.

Carl.

You asked me to

look into this, and I did.

Now I wanna ask you a favor.

Of course.

Don't drag me any

deeper into this. Okay?

I guess if it isn't offensive,

it isn't art.

Look.

These are Robbie Kononsberg's
