The Walker Page #4

phone calls for the past six months.

How did you get these?

Well, I know people, too. You know?

There is this guy

who used to work for the

District Attorney's office.

You got these from him?

No.

That was someone else.

But the D.A. guy...

He said...

The night after the murder

Tenant's at his dinner, and he

gets a phone call. All right?

He's up and he's gone.

He doesn't say a word.

And next Monday

he comes up with this theory

about Kononsberg and Lynn.

Who'd he talked to?

I'm working on it. But look...

One number starts

popping up the last two months.

Actually it's two numbers.

One is for Jack Delorean's

office and the other one is

for a cell phone.

Abby's husband.

The old lion.

You know what

they say about him?

He never ran for office 'cause

he'd have to give up too much power.

Oh, God.

Hey, the...?

The other thing?

Have you thought about it?

Is this really the

right time to discuss this?

I think it's a perfect time.

I have your full attention.

You want me to help you get

a gallery show. I understand.

I have discretely inquired.

Yeah, discretely.

That's exactly the word

I would like to talk to you about.

Be realistic.

Look at this stuff.

Not exactly subtle. It's...

Agitprop.

It's incendiary.

I guess that means you haven't.

I just don't wanna feel used.

If you don't wanna

feel used...

Why are you

in a relationship?

This embassy used

to be a society graveyard.

Supporting us in Iraq

is the only smart thing

Colombia ever did.

Natalie.

Oh, Jack.

Lovely. Thank you.

Carl.

Hi, Jack.

Yeah.

Nice to meet you.

Look at her.

Who?

People think marrying

for money is easy.

Not true.

I'm living proof.

Marrying for money is the

hardest f***ing job there is.

You don't get the money.

You just get to look at it.

She's just discovering that.

Have you heard from Lynn?

No.

I haven't been able

to reach her.

Oh. Perhaps that's best.

Here I am.

Seating can make or

break a party.

It's probably not a good time to get

involved in Lynn's problems.

Which problems?

Oh, Carl.

Let me give you a piece of

Washington wisdom.

Never stand between

your friend and a firing squad.

And there you are.

And between us...

The sub-head of the

Task Force on Terrorism.

Man couldn't find

the ground if he fell on it.

Natalie, I need to ask

you a little favor.

What might that be?

Do you know why...?

Robbie Kononsberg and Jack

Delorean were in close contact

for the last month and a half?

Carl.

I believe you've mistaken

me for a private investigator.

Natalie Van Miter, P.I.

You follow basketball?

Yeah, some.

Were you a Michael Jordan fan?

But I liked the team better

before they changed the name.

Let's go over there.

There's a room.

We can talk.

Who did you work for?

You know, some a**hole in

the State Department.

You live by your eyes,

don't you?

Stop and you

won't be in trouble.

Who are you gonna tell?

Already fret?

What do you want?

Stop playing the detective

or you'll be working with

a white cane.

And tell your friend that, too.

Tell him to do the right thing.

Got it, sand n*gger?

Do you know Mark Hoban?

Of Grandel, Klein & Hoban?

He's Lockner's lawyer.

He came to see me.

Our firms have a

fee sharing arrangement.

Hoban's firm has offered to

cover any legal expenses

you incur.

Why would they do that?

I didn't ask.

Loyalty need not be

dictated by financial concerns.

Those were Hoban's words.

Do you remember Susan McDougal?

Two years in jail because

she wouldn't ride out Clinton.

Sounds like another era.

It was.

Excuse me

for one second.

Yes?

What happened?

Where are you?

Who is it?

Carter Page.

Friend of Emek's.

Step forward.

Put it in the camera.

Radley's from the gym.

He's a physical therapist, you know.

Thank you.

How is he?

- I'm fine.

Oh, he needs

a couple of stitches.

And should have an X-ray.

Just to be safe.

You can stay here?

No I'm fine to go home.

You got to stop this.

Putting yourself in danger.

Or else what?

You're not going to

help me get a gallery show?

This is not a joke.

Listen.

He said to tell you to stop.

And do the right thing.

Would you recognize him?

Yeah, I would recognize him.

Who were you talking to?

Sorry.

What were you

trying to find out?

Robbie's connection to Delorean.

Now this guy was supposed

to be an unhappy employee.

Right?

And he would tell me

things that would make

my ears ring.

That pal was right.

So what Lynn say

about the phone calls?

Huh?

Did you ask her?

I didn't have the chance.

What do you mean

you didn't have the chance?

What has she

done for you, huh?

Why are you trying

to protect her?

It's not that simple.

That's all right officer.

It's his apartment.

What's going on?

We have a

Court Issued Warrant.

Am I under arrest?

Not if you come in voluntarily.

Nice apartment.

Don't touch that.

It's Detective, Mr. Page.

Do you recognize these?

No.

Is this Kononsberg's

handwriting?

Kononsberg has no money...

Then suddenly he has money.

Then he's dead.

Doesn't that seem

like a legitimate avenue

for a murder investigation?

More relevant than, say,

Lynn Lockner's relationship

to the victim?

You'll have to ask

Attorney Tenant about that.

I thought this

was your investigation.

It is.

Things aren't always

what they seem.

You have the right to

remain silent.

Anything you say

can and will be used....

Mungo you've kept my client

waiting all night.

I'm not sure you understand

the seriousness of your situation.

Possession

of stolen property.

Who told you it was stolen?

Same person who

told you where to find it?

You're saying he

gave you his watch?

I have no idea how it came

to be in my apartment.

There's no crime here.

I believe you're lying about

the circumstances under witch

the body was found.

I wanna know why

you're lying.

Why we've found a Zip disk

from Kononsberg's computer

in your apartment?

My computer doesn't even

have a Zip drive.

Zips are twentieth-century...

We know Lynn Lockner

visited Kononsberg.

So bring her in.

She's not available.

She's left town.

Where did she go?

Palm Beach.

Her mother's sick.

Don't you think

that is convenient?

For you? Yes.

If you brought her in,

a minority leader's wife,

it might backfire.

Assuming you are

thinking of high office.

Carter Page.

Carter Page, the turd.

Mr. Withal.

You should make it clear

to your client, he is on

extremely thin ice.

I believe he is aware of that.

Ethan and I spoke earlier.

Out of respect for your father

I'm gonna recommend that you be

released on your own recognizance.

That'll give you time to

give the matter some thought.

In my experience...

It's perjury that

catches people out who

think they're above the law.

Not so much the deed itself.

But the lying about it.

If you decide to cooperate...

There're certain things

that can be overlooked.

You contact Ethan.

Since you invoked my father's

memory, there's something I'd

like to say on his behalf.
